Creative Writing, Period 6 1/24

[idontspeakfreak.livejournal.com]

Yuki seemed to be in an almost pleasant mood today. He stands to begin his lecture, “Good afternoon. I hope none of you suffered a large amount of psychological trauma this past weekend, and if you have, think of it as good writing material.”

“Today we’re going to look in depth into the most important base for a story. Good characters. They’re more important than the setting, or plot. Once you have solid characters, the rest will work itself out. Today is the first day you’re going to work on your final piece. I want you to create two firm characters and submit them to me by the end of class with a short description of each.”

“This doesn’t have to be final, but I want you to begin creating the characters that are going to drive your story. I also what you to doodle the two characters that you’re submitting, just because.” Just because he wants to laugh at your art skills. To himself later on, of course. “Oh and Hoodie-Brain, you don’t need to draw the character along the lines.”

((OOC: Sorry for putting this up a bit late, I’ve got a busy day today since I’m going to see Wicked with my family, I’ll be on tonight however to pick up any and all tags))

During the Lecture

Take notes? Pass notes? Sleep? Try not to think about what you unwittingly did this weekend?

During the lecture Nova had his head down, hiding his face and resisting the urge to zip his hood shut completely. His turtle plushie, which had accompanied him to class, lightly patted him on the head as if understanding his discomfort and trying to comfort him.

Yuki raises an eye at Nova and after finishing speaking he stares at him. "Did you bring your stuffed animal to sleep in class Hooded Wonder?"

Turtle was starting at Nova's turtle with morbid curiosity. Because it was moving now. And it was a turtle. She really hoped it stared back, because that would be...was it irony? Yeah, had to be irony. Maybe she should ask Mr. Yuki. Or just stare some more.

I'm looking at you, turtle. What are you gonna do about it, huh?

...Turtle was in a strange mood today.

Well, he couldn't stay in his room forever. Hamlet seemed to be focusing a little too hard on taking class notes, and trying to avoid any mention of things he may or may not have done over the past weekend.

Nova watched his roommate who seemed even more disturbed than Nova himself.

As Nadia took notes, the little stuffed, winged pink pony that would not leave her alone balanced carefully on her shoulder and made quiet commentary on how she should try to make her handwriting nicer.

Maybe it didn't like ponies; maybe it didn't like pink; or maybe it just didn't like anyone it didn't know. Yeah, the third one sounds about right. Anyway, Nova's little turtle plushy made a beeline for the flying pink pony, tiny arms prepared to attack.

Character Discriptions

Handwave if you wish but if you do write he'll give you feedback.

Nova turned in what he wrote, including his drawings. They didn't look anything like what Rukia usually drew, so Nova was feeling a little disappointed.

Noah (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i257/Conejitablue/my%20art/Noah2.jpg) is a high school aged youth. He has red hair with a large blue streak off to the side. He is shy and quiet, but he is a GOOD WRITER and artist. He is a nibelungen Nova so came up with that word on his own, shut up and attends school in Lower Earth (the underworld). He lives a very difficult and stressful life, much of the stress caused by harassing from his evil writing teach Mr. Oniyuki. He often covers his face with scarves or high turtleneck sweaters.

Mr. Eikichi Oniyuki (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i257/Conejitablue/my%20art/Oniyuki2.jpg) is a very ornery teacher at Loge High School, located in Lower Earth. Mr. Oniyuki is a demon who finds pleasure in torturing his students, especially poor Noah. He has blond hair, two horns, and an eye patch. His hobbies are smoking, drinking, and, of course, torturing his students, whether physically or mentally. When angered, he begins to resemble a blue ogre with large curving horns and sharp teeth. He also has various torture devices and hidden traps in the his class.


It was possible that Nova was inspired by real life, but not completely intentional. He wasn't so much concerned about what the teacher might think, but maybe he should have had the thought in mind while writing.

Yuki reads these things over with an increasing grin. Of course he saw through this thinly veiled characterization. He's surprisingly impressed by Nova's drawing ability. Though, in this case it really just serves to make the "characters" true idenities even easier to spot. His first thought is to tease Hood Brain merciously. But his second thought is much more appealing.

"Wonderful work Nova. And great work on your drawings." And that's one of those encouraging smiles. From Yuki... it might scare young children. "For a bit of homework maybe you can write about what exactly a nibelugen is. You can go sit down though. Nice job."


Yes... he's interested to see how this will turn out if he lets him run with it. Seems like this could get QUITE entertaining.

Turtle turned this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/skylie/turtlecharacters.jpg) in.

Re: Character Discriptions

Yuki pauses after looking this mess over. He struggles to find the right insult. But... he's sort of dumbfounded and as his first comment he can only blink and ask, "Wexler. Did you write that DEADPOOL was cooler than me?"

Re: Character Discriptions

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake's character descriptions? Brief. Very, very brief. The sketches, however, were very detailed which possibly explained the briefness of the descriptions.

"Captain Arker is ex-army, and she's now a bodyguard for the famous and bitchy moviestar Anna Bayer, who's been getting threatening letters as she's filming her new blockbuster movie Olympia."

Re: Character Discriptions

Yuki likes the fanservice of these drawings. But he's stuck on one thing, "My god kid. Why aren't you in art instead of this class?"

((ooc: Omg... are those yours? You're amazing. Jeeze.))

Talk to Yuki/After Class

[idontspeakfreak.livejournal.com]

He's still in a pretty good mood. You have a chance to ruin it.
