I hate having a mouse in the house. XD; Yes, it still hasn't been caught. We've tried to trap it in the wall, hoping it will come out into a trap, but we keep finding new ways that it gets around. -___-
I started writing Breakdown chapter 7, and then I decided I should write down the most difficult scene ahead of time, so I went ahead and wrote Gin and Vodka's argument (which was slated for chapter 8, but may get pushed ahead further), followed by a short introspective Gin scene, and then two different versions of a scene where Vodka wakes up after being disoriented from the cold and the blood loss. I just can't quite seem to get it like I want it. XD;
And now I have another problem. In chapter 7, I skipped ahead a month, because Gin's pretty much the same throughout that month as in the previous six chapters and the prologue. But somehow it doesn't feel right, to skip ahead that much. What does everyone else think?
At the beginning of the chapter, Vodka goes to see how Chardonnay and Sake are doing, and he finds them in a really bad condition, not helped any by Aoshi's aides beating them. He goes back to the suite and finds that Gin has cut himself (by accident). Gin getting cut reminds him of some of the scenarios he thought happened when Portman was torturing him (a la Empire of Dirt), and in desperation he tells Vodka a little bit of what happened to him. (He doesn't tell much, and his frustration over being so "weak" as to have to speak about it is partially what makes him so angry and bitter later on.) Somehow it also doesn't seem right to have that as the second scene of the chapter. Maybe it should be moved down to the last scene? I was thinking that originally, but the first scene, of Vodka visiting the girls, is pretty short by itself.
I also have the desire to write Theme #9 for my 30_Nights set. Not to mention I need to finish something for 100_Situations. **has a couple of ideas.**
Started drawing Gin and Akemi on Sunday. It took several tries to get Akemi looking like herself. Gin came out really good on the first try, at least I think so. In the background, I wanted to draw Vodka trying to revive Gin. Not sure what I think of that part of the picture. I think it's a good touch; I just dunno if I'm satisfied with how it's coming out.
