Writetober Day 2: Retro
Palabras: 1247.
Formato: Short story.
Género: Sci-fi ligero, comedia.
Advertencias: ¿Caos adolescente y mucho sarcasmo se consideran advertencias?

-Llegas tarde, Andjela.
La chica apareció al lado del hombre de traje en apenas un pestañeo, haciendo parecer que se teletransportaba de un lado a otro ante el ojo del ser humano.
-No seas aguafiestas, jefe.- comentó, sacando el cassette de su lector y quitándose los cascos.- Esta vez no ha sido para tanto, ¿quince? ¿veinte minutos?
El adulto suspiró, cerrando los ojos durante un instante y contando hasta diez mentalmente. eso era cosa mala, Vasile sólo lo hacía cuando Andjela lo sacaba de quicio, que era todo el rato.
-Andjela, quedamos hace tres horas en el Congreso para que nos dieras las fotografías que habías conseguido. Hace justamente dos horas y treinta y siete minutos me llamaste desde una cabina en Nueva Jersey, que está a la distancia de un océano, para decirme que ibas a estar en la feria y me las darías allí.
-Oh, claro. -La chica le cortó, rebuscando en los bolsillos de su chaqueta de cuero.- Y las he metido justo aquí... En alguna parte, estoy segura.
-No las has perdido, ¿verdad? -Vasile entrecerró los ojos, mirando fijamente a la chica de esa forma que él sabía que la ponía de los nervios o, por lo menos, cargo de conciencia.- Llevas tres horas para entregármelas, Andjela.
La chica pasó a rebuscar en su mochila de cuerdas y estampado de flores. Mientras tanto no se atrevió a mirar a la cara al adulto.
-Oh, ya sabes. -divagó, intentando entretenerle.- Tengo una vida muy ocupada y me pillabas entrenando, ¿sabes?
-¿Entrenando?- Vasile alzó una ceja.
-Oh, sí. -terció la chica, pasando a buscar en los bolsillos de su pantalón- Ir a la velocidad de la luz no se aprende por gracia divina. Aunque todavía no he llegado a tales velocidades, la verdad. ¡Pero hace una semana descubrí que voy lo suficientemente rápido como para andar por encima del agua!
-¿Y es por eso que acabaste en Nueva Jersey?
-Exacto, así que aproveché a visitar un centro comercial que habían abierto hace poco y me fui a pintar las uñas. ¿Te gustan?
Andjela le enseñó las manos, sacándolas de sus bolsillos.
-Son muy... rosas. -Vasile comentó, ajustándose la corbata distraídamente.
-Lo sé, son maravillosas. -La chica sonrió, metiéndose las manos en los bolsillos de su chaqueta- Oh, mira, estaban aquí.
La chica sacó unas fotografías instantáneas de su mano, dobladas y arrugadas. Pero su imagen dejaba ver con total claridad todas las muestras que necesitaba el Congreso y, por ende, Vasile.
El hombre se las quitó de las manos y las desdobló, permitiéndose unos minutos para analizarlas.
Andjela se balanceó sobre sus pies, pasando su peso de las puntas a los talones y de los talones a las puntas todo el rato. Miró distraídamente los carteles de luces de colores de la feria mientras tarareaba para sí, intentando rellenar el silencio entre los dos.
-¿Por qué las has hecho en una cámara instantánea? -el adulto preguntó, mirando de reojo a la chica un instante.- Te dimos una Nikon último modelo para que nos dieras la memoria de la cámara. Y, según el papel de la fotografía, has usado una polaroid de hace por lo menos una década.
-Ah, es que no quería malgastar el potencial de una cámara tan buena en algo tan aburrido como una misión secreta de espionaje a un grupo terrorista. -Andjela se encogió de hombros.- Si te sirve de consuelo, la voy a dar una mejor vida que la que tú planeabas.
-¿Y lo de la mancha de salsa en una de las fotos?- preguntó, pasando a otra instantánea.
-Es que me he comido un perrito caliente en Nueva Jersey mientras me cercioraba de que las fotos no habían salido borrosas. -la chica comentó mientras se asomaba sobre el papel para ver la mancha de la que hablaban.- Creo que eso es mayonesa o mostaza, no estoy segura. Pero estaba riquísimo. ¿Quieres probarlos? Dame un momento, ahora vuelvo.
Y la chica desapareció de en medio de la nada para la vista de Vasile. Hace unos meses él habría sido capaz de divisar una estela de movimiento cuando aparecía o desaparecía, pero ahora era demasiado rápida como para reconocerla. Por fin se estaba tomando el entrenamiento en serio.
Por otro lado, seguía siendo la misma chica que había reclutado.
Vasile negó con la cabeza para sí, guardándose las fotos en el bolsillo interior de su traje. Miró el ambiente colorido y animado de la feria. ¿Por qué no le sorprendía que lo hubiera citado allí?
-No sabes lo desesperante que puedes llega...
-Ya he llegado.- la imagen de la chica con unas gafas de aviación puestas y con un perrito caliente en cada mano apareció ante los ojos del adulto.- ¿Decías algo? Cuando me he acercado parecías tener la boca súper abierta y estabas haciendo un sonido como el de un osos susurrando.
Vasile volvió a contar hasta diez en su interior antes de responder.
-No es de tu incumbencia, señorita.
-Bueno, allá tú. -Andjela cedió, dándole un bocado a uno de los perritos mientras ofrecía el otro al adulto.
Él sacó un pañuelo de tela y cogió la comida sin llegar a tocarla. Andjela no supo cómo, pero el hombre también se las arregló para darle un buen bocado sin que se le escurriera salsa por algún lado.
La chica se quitó de los ojos las gafas de aviación que solía usar cuando corría a velocidad sónica, dejándoselas superpuestas sobre la frente, y volvió a rebuscar en los bolsillos de su chaqueta.
-Antes de que se me olvide. -hablo una vez que hubo tragado todo el bocado.- Has sido tú el que ha invitado a los perritos.
Sacó la cartera de Vasile y se la tendió mientras empezaban a andar alrededor de la feria.
El adulto se la quitó de un golpe seco y se la guardó, esta vez en el bolsillo interior junto a las fotografías.
-¿Cuánto te ha costado?
-Treinta dólares.
El adulto tuvo que pestañear un par de veces antes de poder responder.
-¿Cómo es que has...?
-Sí, ya lo sé. No hace falta que me lo digas. -Andjela cortó al hombre- Es un rollo eso del cambio de moneda, pero es algo necesario. Pero no es para tanto.
-Andjela. -advirtió Vasile.- Un perrito no vale sólo quince dólares.
-Bueno, también he aprovechado para pagar lo del pintauñas y me he comprado un cassette nuevo. Lo del perrito han sido sólo ocho dólares. Pero tranquilo, todavía tienes un montón de pasta dentro de la cartera. Para dar y prestar, de hecho.
-Eres increíble.- farfulló antes de darle un bocado increíblemente elegante al perrito.
-Lo sé, no hace falta que me lo digas. -Sonrió la chica- Tú también eres muy amable, pero me tengo que ir. Prometí a mi madre que volvería a casa antes de las nueve y ya son las nueve y media. A la próxima tendremos que quedar más pronto.
-Pero si hemos quedad...
La chica desapareció antes de que Vasile pudiera terminar la frase, dejándole tirado en una feria con un perrito de la mano. Miró su mano izquierda y cogió una entrada a la noria que había aparecido entre sus dedos justo cuando la chica desapareció.
Una vez analizado el anverso, dio la vuelta al papelito y se encontró con una letra emborronada y apretada que conocía de sobra.
"Diviértete o algo por el estilo"
Vasile negó con la cabeza y contó hasta diez.
Esa chica iba a ser su perdición.

I think DIsney really should just stick to making fun rides in their theme parks, then sitting a scenewriter on the cart and teling them 'make a movie out of it'.
So far the best live action DIsney movies were based of the existing rides. Pirates of the Carrabbean and Jungle Cruise.

I am going to try this on myself:
Scene Generation: The heart of my writing skill appears to be my ability to conceive and execute compelling scenes. The "scene" is essentially the base unit product of my work. Most of my scenewriting revolves around talking or internal thought, and most of the rest revolves around narrative exposition, but when I write other types of scenes (e.g., action) these tend to be compelling as well, by my own judgment. Grade: A
Use of Language: I am grouping both structural and aesthetic language use into one group for list clarity although I am better at the latter than the former. My command of language is another heart of my writing facility. My biggest weaknesses are blockiness and wordiness, which hopefully can be regarded as stylistic. Grade: A
Character Pathos: I think I am strong at evoking life pathos without being maudlin, first-order predictable, or gratuitous. Grade: A-minus
Worldbuilding: What I suspect most people would consider me strongest at, but even though I have adopted worldbuilding as one of my primary purposes in writing it is nevertheless the case that most of my worldbuilding is incidental to scene generation and happens "inline." I do have a much stronger sense than most people of plausibility-as-experience-defining. Grade: A-minus
Characterization: I am only ranking this below worldbuilding due to the fact that my characterization skills are highly clustered around certain character types. There are many kinds of characters I am not good at writing. But I excel at the ones I am good at. I think the most validating feedback I tend to receive on my work is how compelling people find my characters, especially when it comes from people who have known me personally and are surprised that my fiction is so different from my nonfiction and my personal mannerisms of speech. Grade: A-minus
Thematic Development: Probably one of the most important things I do as a writer alongside the worldbuilding, the incorporation of themes into my writing is something I am good at but not great. I do put an extensive amount of thought and energy into it. Grade: B-plus
Character Dialogue: Of all the skills listed thus far, this is probably the one that I feel I have the most room for improvement on despite already being very good at it. I often envy the dialogue styles of other storytellers, which remain inaccessible to me. Grade: B-plus
Representation: This is something I am mindful of but do not struggle with; it comes fairly easily to me. My biggest challenge here is that some experiences are more familiar to me than others, hindering my ability to represent groups that I am least familiar with. I make up for this somewhat by being naturally inclined to write certain specific underrepresented groups. Grade: B
Plot Development: Not to be mistaken with Plot Conception, farther down this list. I do have good skill at improving upon, expanding, completing, refining, and repairing existing plots, as well as integrating them into the larger story and connecting them with other plots. My biggest weakness in this is the long time it takes me. But in terms of the finished product, I think my plots are highly satisfying. Grade: B
Narratorial Voice: The distinctiveness of my writing, i.e. the obviousness that a given work is by me. I think this is less a developed skill on my part and more an emergent property of who I am and how I engage in my work. Sometimes I do feel like my work struggles to articulate its own identity. Grade: B-minus
Tonal Consistency: Something I continually struggle with. I do tend to be decent at maintaining local tonal consistency, but at a larger scale this runs into problems. Grade: C-plus
Plot Conception: Ironically, I used to consider myself a plot-driven writer and rate my plotting skills as excellent, but over the years I have come to take an almost diametrically opposed view. I really struggle to conceive of new plots and organize them coherently. I enjoy doing it, mind you. But I am not the strongest at it. Grade: C
Brevity: Double F-minus
i think of my strengths specifically as a story teller and i think the fall on the following order:
Character creation and dialog
i think this is what i excell at, im good at creating characters that are brimming with personality. im pretty good at making them fun and memorable. at giving them a schtick, at making them iconic. and also i think im pretty good at giving them a distinctive voice that feels all the same naturalistic. when they talk it feels organic, it feels like an idea flows from one point to the other in a way that is well paced and true to the character
2. plot
i think im decent enough at plot, arcs, overarching beats, etc. im good at coming up with the basic macro structures of where the story is supposed to go and what are the key events in that story and i think im good at waving the threads such that they all come together satisfyingly
3. worldbuilding
i think at this i am actually pretty weak, i tend to get caught in feeling like the logistics of it all are weak or poorly thoughtout. the history never makes the best of sense, the aesthetics of the world tend to be sparse and rote, uninspired and very derivative. im just not good at tending to those gardens. my worlds tend to be rather small and self contained.

This book was written with one main purpose: to help give authors a creative boost in their scene writing and toss writers' block into the oblivion of the abyss. In order to accomplish this, each chapter is written in a workbook-like format so that the steps provided can easily be implemented after they are explained. For each element of scene writing that is presented, J.A. Cox explains the How, Why, and When of its use along with his own description so that the information is easy to assimilate. He provides copious examples from his own writing of these elements in action as well as from shows and movies.
Here are the elements that you will be learning about:
Sketching
Location
Time
Characters

As you make your way through these pages and consider these elements, you will end up in a state where it is difficult to shut down the tsunami of ideas that will come your way.
