Scottish Festival. X3

Day 1 of the Scottish Festival. More stuff happens on Saturday, but it's still fun to go on Friday evening, too. A lot of the booths are open, and there's food and entertainment. I always like watching the Irish dancers. X3 It's a Scottish festival, but it really sometimes seems like there's stuff from all the Celtic-type countries.

I had some chips with cheese dip. Goood stuff. I might want more tomorrow, in addition to the Scottish food I'll be trying. X3

Couldn't find much in the way of souvenirs yet.... Though I did see a beautiful blue scarf/shawl that was the color of KH Seph's wings. X3 And a fleece throw that was so soft and had purple irises on it. I'd love to buy them both, but altogether that would be way too much. XD; Even one of them's probably way too much. I'm hoping to find a cheaper blue scarf/bandanna thing tomorrow. I did buy a cute clover keychain and a postcard with the Mackenzie tartan. I wanted some kind of thingie with the Mackenzie clan. Those who know me in the YGO fandom likely know why. For all others, it's because that's the last name I gave long ago to Alister.

And I remembered a plunnie I haven't thought of for a while: Alister and the other bikers at a Scottish festival. This time I fleshed it out more, thinking of Alister running a booth for the Mackenzie clan and even possibly a mystery taking place. And Valon probably being horrified if Alister matter-of-factly informs him that a kilt is traditionally worn with nothing underneath. XD;

Also, the last couple of days, a KH plunnie bit hard. It's an older one, with Cloud's no-good father popping up alive, and it has the flashbacks I was originally going to include. But the rest of the plot has changed. Originally, in the unwritten first plan, Cloud's father was a deadbeat who turned up on Cloud's doorstep asking for help. (Or at Zack's doorstep, if it was taking place after Cloud moves in with him and Seph.) Cloud was the central character, except for Zack appearing in a supporting role, and Seph appearing at some point. This new version has all three of them being quite important. And Cloud's father is a bit more vicious, at least in the first draft of the flashback.

I started writing the new one the other day as a regular h/c fic, with Seph finding Cloud laying in the road after being hit by a car. Actually, it was slated to be a deathfic, a reversal of the basic scenario in You're Gone, with Cloud being the one to die. But then I changed my mind on that.

Then the plot changed again. Cloud was talking about the driver and it randomly came to me to write that it looked like his father. BOOM. Plunnie attack! Right now I'm not sure where it's going. I'm thinking the father is caught and arrested for drunk driving (and causing an accident), and Cloud goes to see him in jail a bit later. They have a confrontation, and maybe the father tries to bribe Cloud or something to twist the story of what really happened. o.o Not sure on that. (He doesn't know at first that he hit his own son, BTW. He only finds that out when he gets to the jail. And he'll probably make some rude cracks about Cloud's wing.) I'm using the prompt Family from kingdom100, and I do know the end result is basically Cloud knowing all the more that his father will never change, washing his hands of the matter, and being grateful even more for his surrogate family of Sephiroth and Zack.
