Saga, let me tell you from experience, sometimes you just gotta say, "fuck it" and get *something* done, even if it's bad. The hardest part is almost always starting, and once you have something done, you can work on improving on it later. ~ 🧶

Saga curled further into themself.

Saga: What's the point of doing something if it's not good?

They put their hands over their head and took a deep breath.

Saga: Like, I know I need to get the commission done, and I know we need the money for rent, but I just...

They trailed off and curled up even tighter.

Sinclair: Hun, please let me in. We don't have to talk about the art stuff. It's fine. I can take some overtime next week to make up for it.

Saga: No, please don't do that. I'll be fine, just leave me alone for a while.

Sinclair: Are you sure you don't need anything?

Saga was silent for a time before they came out of their ball and sat slumped against the door with their head back.

Saga: I could use some coffee and my art pad.

HEY JAZ, WHAT KINDS OF TATTOOS WOULD YOU GET IF YOU COULD? ~ 🧶

Jaz jumped at the sudden shouting, nearly dropping xir pipe.

Jaz: Holy shit, dude, scared the fuck outa me.

Xe settled back into xir beat-up armchair and paused the episode of Futurama xe was watching.

Jaz: I guess I would get something like the illuminati symbol on my back maybe...

Xe chuckled maniacally and took another pull from xir pipe.

Jaz: ... and probably Brendon Urie's face on my ass.

Xe reclined back in xir chair and cracked open a beer on the floor with one hand and continued the episode with the other.

Jaz: Hehe, yeah! Down with the system!

You shoplift? How do you stop from being caught???

"Pretty easily, actually," Ruth said. "As long as you don't act suspicious while doing it, you're usually able to get away with a lot. Plus if you walk into the store wearing a heavy coat, people are less likely to notice if you're carrying anything out in it."

"Which, to be fair, makes it a lot harder in the summer months, but, um, apparently Carver knows how to garden?" Danielle said, glancing at Ruth. "So that'll simplify that problem."

Ruth nodded. "I honestly can't believe we hadn't thought of that before. Lilly, can't you garden?"

Lilly raised her shoulders a little. "A bit. Honestly, I know more about herb gardening than produce, so I expect that Carver knows more about all this than me."

While Sinclair spoke to Saga, Alexander returned to the soup he was preparing and Dakota wandered outside.

Dulcie: Imma get you Mari! RAWR!!

Dulcie and Mari appeared to be playing Tiger & Antelope, as evidenced by the fact that Mari promptly fell to the ground and little Dulcie jumped over and bit at the cowl of her sweater.

Dakota: Woah there, little cub! Don't wanna wear yourself out before the big wildebeest comes over!

Dakota then fell to all fours and began making cow noises while arching his back and scraping the ground.

Dulcie: Stay, Antelope, Imma get the wildebeest too!

Dulcie ran over to where Dakota was grazing and jumped on his back while growling with an adorable viciousness.

Dakota: Oh!!! You got me!!! Ah!! I'm dying!!!

Dakota fell over dramatically and stuck his tongue out as Dulcie put her hands on the sides of her polka-dot tulle tutu.

Dulcie: Wildebeest don't talk, Koda!

Dakota: I'm dead now, I can't talk at all.

He stuck his tongue back out and layed on the grass with his limbs splayed.

Dulcie: Then don't talk! Bad wildebeest!

Dulcie returned to her previous kill and began to feast. Mari twitched, trying to stifle her laughter as Dulcie munched at her belly and arms.

[ask-company]

Saga: Yeah, Zan? What about my project?

Alexander: Well, rent is due pretty soon, and we were hoping to have your contribution soon...

Saga: Yeah, and you'll have it. I just need time to think.

Sinclair: You've been thinking about it for for three weeks, dear.

Saga: *grips pen tighter* *grits teeth* No one needs your logic.

Alexander: I mean, they're right. Rent is due in three days and you still need to finish that commission.

Saga: When have I failed you before?

Alexander: Well, there was that time I had to take extra night shifts to cover the rent.

Cynthia: And that time I had to take a Good Housewives ad deal.

Dakota: And that time I had to sell my panini press.

Saga: *visibly shaking* Look, I get it! I'm fucking useless!

Saga stormed off into their room and slammed the door. They slid down the back of the door and buried their head in their arms.

Sinclair knocked on the bright blue panelling.

Sinclair: I'm sorry hon. We didn't mean to upset you so bad. We're just concerned about rent is all.

Saga: Yeah, and that's all everyone's ever concerned about.

Sinclair: You know that's not true. Rent is only a third of our budget. We've also got food and savings and such. I made a spreadsheet if you want to see it.

Saga: No, I don't. Leave me alone.

Original Character Asks

[ask-company]

Crap Cutting Core Characters

10 11 vital questions to ask yourself about your character before you start writing.

Internal 1. What do they want and why do they want it? 2. What scares the hell out of them? (Alone? Dark? Poor?) 3. What did they believe by the time they were 10? (Big boys don’t cry?) 4. What is their fundamental truth? (Family first? Good things come to those who wait?) 5. What makes them happy?  (What do they think will make them happy?)

External 1. What are their family relationships like?  2. Who do they look up to? 3. Friends - people typically hang out with others who are like-minded    4. Is there anyone they do/don’t trust? Why? 5. How do they talk? (Distinct voice, tone, style, make them stand out - formal, laid back, intellectual, do your research if you decide to use a speech disorder)

+1 Do they have any medical conditions that would have an impact on any of the answers above?

Cynthia: Ugh, but it smells so bad! I just put on my Vera Wang!

Dulcie: I think you still smell pretty, Cynnia!

Mari: That's very sweet, Dulcie. Come now, how about we play outside.

Sinclair: *visibly nauseous in the corner* Can you please smoke outside?

Dakota: No, then the landlord would smell it even better, and he's already being really lenient with us.

Jaz: Fine, I'll go downstairs, but only because I'm tired of your bitching.

Saga: Ugh, finally. Now I can procrastinate on this piece in peace.

Alexander: About that...
