[OOC] Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

[Rogue Sloth]

I was going to get a post up today, but I had a really hard time focusing on my project so I'll have to put it off until tomorrow.

I'll probably write out a short piece for Cas and then the beginning of what happened on Jacob's end earlier that day ^^

[sukikyoufu]

No worries! Take your time :)

Ohhh I love it! I'll do a bit about Regis too, would they question him first before killing do you reckon?

[Rogue Sloth]

Thanks! I think I can write a little more this weekend, but I've got so much to do this week that I can't take any days off like I usually would T_T

The work I need to finish by midnight is taking forever too, so I might not post until tomorrow. I vastly underestimated how many hours I'd need to put into it (It's been about 10 so far just today). I'm so done with school.

As for what will happen to Regis, I didn't have any preferences. Do you want him to be questioned or killed quickly? I could see either option happening.

[sukikyoufu]

You gotta get your work done first! I completely understand :3

Oh gosh, I hope you managed to get a lot of it done! It will all be worth it though!

Maybe he gets questioned? Then the King gives the order to kill him when they tell him Cas is allegedly dead.

[Rogue Sloth]

Hope it was worth the wait cx

And that sounds good to me! The rescue team will probably arrest him and take him back to the capital then.

[sukikyoufu]

It's always worth the wait!!

Oh gosh, Jacob will be pissed when he realises that he could have had the Prince had he not stood down. I love it hahaha

[Rogue Sloth]

Yeah, I thought it would be interesting if they were actually much closer to rescuing Cas than they realized xD They won't know for a long time though, since they're going to think he's dead when they see all the bloodstains in the basement.

[sukikyoufu]

I loved it! They won't know for ages too and it will be brilliant when they realise in the end haha

[Rogue Sloth]

Yeah. It'll also make Cas and Iris's lives a lot harder when the war starts getting more intense. They'll have to dodge the fighting while trying to figure out how to get Cas back into the capital.

[sukikyoufu]

Oh deffo! Iris will be devastated seeing the wreck of the town when it becomes worse. It's going to be so fun!

[Rogue Sloth]

I love how everything going on in this story is tying together cx It's very smooth

[sukikyoufu]

Omg same! It's just so nice, this is one of my fave stories and I always get excited when you reply!

[Rogue Sloth]

Yay, I'm glad ^^ I'd say this is one of my favorites too. It's hard to compare though because all of mine are so different haha. This is the only dystopian one I'm writing right now

[sukikyoufu]

I've never done a dystopian style one before so I think that's why it's so exciting for me!

[Rogue Sloth]

I love dystopian stories ^^ I've read a lot of books like 1984 and Brave New World and even a few contemporary ones like the Hunger Games. It's fun to imagine what a world could be like under an authoritarian ruler that presents itself as benevolent when it's actually oppressive. In this case, I modeled the story as a cross between Hunger Games and 1984, where there's a group of people (bourgeoisie) who are really well off, but they don't realize how much better off they are because media is secretly controlled to make it seem like everyone is doing well. This way, the people who control resources can hike up prices and make a small fortune off the wealthy while paying factory workers next to nothing for their labor. So what Cas knows about the economy is partially true. Aspiria's market is booming because the high borns are a big enough group to fuel it, but the numbers have been skewed to make it look like people are well off throughout the whole kingdom instead of just in a concentrated population.

[sukikyoufu]

Ohhhh that makes so much sense! I must admit I did enjoy the Hunger Games. Final Fantasy 7 has quite the dsytopian feel to it too which is really nice whilst I'm playing through it now as it gives me little ideas and things I can use in the story!

I think I need to take a look at 1984, that sounds quite interesting

[Rogue Sloth]

That's cool! And yeah, I recommend it ^^ It's by George Orwell, written in 1948 (he just flipped the numbers for '1984' when he came up with the title) so it's an older book, but it's very good! Brave New World is another favorite of mine. They're both really dark, fair warning, especially BNW. Still, I think they're great haha

[sukikyoufu]

Ohhh I will deffo take a look! I do love a good dark story. It will give me something new to read on my way to work!

[Rogue Sloth]

Cas finally noticed he hogged the only bed in the shelter xD

[sukikyoufu]

Awh bless him, he has such a good heart the poor thing ;A;
