Proposition to the group, mostly directed to Khaleesi, but I want to see if everyone's on board with this "climax" scene to happen. (Tagging people who don't know of it already)
@HushedWhispers @Mr_pink @Prudence @TheIrishJJ @guineamania @Aewin @LoganWentworthSo if you couldn't tell already, Ely is and will be fighting depression. We all plan to make shit hit the fan: ie. Grant and Manky fighting because of Ely, Erin selling Ely's clothes, Most likely a Jacen and Grant clash with Erin and Lexi in the middle, and whatever drama shit you have planned.
I do plan to have Ely attempt to commit suicide the day after Manky tells her he doesn't love her anymore because she's a different person. She won't sleep at anyone's house and miss work the next day without calling in.
I imagine the conversation of where she went last night will go like this:
Jacen: Wasn't Ely at your house?
Grant: No, I thought she was with Lexi, she looked like shit last night.
Lexi: I thought she was with Esme...
Esme: She left the party early so I thought she was going to pick clothes up at her parents..
Manky: Fuck.
You all should know by this point, she loves the lake so assuming you guys go there first you'll find the prom things she's made for you guys (not even Esme will know about it because she worked on it when she wasn't around). You all will also see letters there.
Then I'm hoping everyone looks around town to find her. She went to her actual house to get her father's gun. Then she'll end up at her brother's grave. She'll talk to her brother one last time. Then bring the gun to her head, her hands shaking.
@OfficerHeadbutt and I both agree Manky should discover her first like a lightbulb moment and witnesses her raise the gun. And yeah... an emotional scene will probably take place where Ely babbles on about how she can't cope anymore.
What are your opinions? Are you on board? Do you have ways to make it better?
I kinda just imagine this scene being the resolve for everyone to wake up.
