DoGoodWeirdly July 2023

[up-sideand-down]

Trigger Warnings: Major Character Death, Murder, Hauntings, Monsters, Blood and Death

Fic Summary: Aerith and Tifa are two roommates who have since come to terms with the fact that the house they bought is very much haunted. As they adapt to make room for their two invisible housemates, they unravel a story about murder, tragedy, and a love that surely went on after death.

Chapter Summary: Past and Present begin to have uncanny similarities while an unknown entity makes itself horrifyingly known.

Thanks to all the people over at @dogoodweirdly. I had a great time writing last night!

Chaos's Stream Details

Update time! I've decided to use Twitch to stream everything, since I think that'll be a little more accessible for everyone, as well as allowing easy switching between writing and drawing.

It'll also allow me to set up a little platform in case we want to do more streams in the future outside of the DoGoodWeirdly event! 🥰

Info on the stream (agenda, charities, etc) here!

Link to my new Twitch channel here!

Streaming will begin at 7pm Eastern tomorrow night (July 2nd) and will continue until 7am Eastern! Feel free to tune in at any point throughout the night! You're welcome to cheer me on even if you can't donate! :)

My first time ever drawing Hades characters! ✨

Doodled these guys up during the DoGoodWeirdly challenge last night/this morning! 🌙🌞

So, since it’s 6:30 in the morning and I’ve been awake for almost 24 hours, I’m going to squeeze in a quick power nap lmao XD

Summary:    “Shortly after Angeal's death, Infantrymen are reported going missing around ShinRa and one of the missing ones is Cloud Strife. His best friend Zack Fair tries to get to the bottom of it and finds out that he's being held within ShinRa's science department, but he's going to need some help to bust him out. 

  That's where Sephiroth comes in. Genesis and Angeal have long deserted ShinRa and he's been entertaining the idea of doing the same. Zack's proposed mission to rescue Cloud may just provide just the opportunity he's been looking for."

  Here is what I have so far! I may come back to it later in the day but if you want to read it, feel free! I got a lot done in just 5 hours!))

I'm super late, but I'd love to hear about Escape From Nibelheim (Final Fantasy 7)!!!!

Hi @boomchickfanfiction , thanks for asking about my WIP!

I only started writing fan fiction last November and “Escape From Nibelheim” was my first writing project. (It’s also what I was working on for the first @dogoodweirdly challenge!)

As you can probably guess from the name, it’s about Zack & Cloud. I’ve read a lot of stories that cover their time in the lab, their escape, and their year on the run. Most stories gloss over the details of the escape or go with them sneaking out of an abandoned mansion, but I wanted something grittier and more desperate so I decided to write it myself.

I’m about 15k words into it at this point, they’re less than 12 hours into their escape, and Zack is having a very not fun time. (Sorry, Zack!)

The bad news is that I got sucked sideways into the Legend of Zelda (Linked Universe) fandom and I haven’t touched this WIP since February. I’m sure my interest in FF7 will be renewed at some point though. We’ve got at least one more remake to go in the franchise.

So, I will leave you with an excerpt from the rough draft:

Two soft whumps broke the silence. Zack flinched, heart racing wildly, as a pair of grenades bounced off the back wall and came clattering to a halt near the operating table. They hissed ominously, starting to release white smoke with a familiar acrid scent.

Ifrit’s fiery hell.

Tear gas.

Zack’s mind slammed into overdrive. He hadn’t heard anything. Even with an open door, he hadn’t heard anything. How?! His ears were still ringing a bit, but not enough to impact his . situational . awareness… Oh gods. The pit of his stomach dropped. His eyes darted around the room, finally spying a video surveillance camera up in one corner. That’s how they’d known he was free! They’d been watching all along! This attack had been planned. They must have snuck a strike team down the stairs while he was distracted with Cloud. And those grenades had been launched! They were planning to take him down from a distance.

Zack jerked his attention back to the grenades. Little clouds of white smoke were starting to form above them. Shit. Ok. Less than a minute until things get ugly. No point throwing them back. They’ll be wearing masks for sure and they can just launch more. Gotta contain the gas, limit exposure. He raced over to the closest cabinet, half ripping the doors off their hinges in his haste. Need something airtight, like a jar. The grenades hissed slowly in the background as he ransacked the cabinet, heedless of the delicate scientific equipment getting smashed in the process. Nothing useful.

Wide eyed and panting, Zack whirled around, looking for another cabinet to check. The white clouds had been pulled along in his wake and were now curling around the glass of the mako tube, getting dangerously close to his Cloud.

Wait.

The mako tube!

Zack exploded into action. Dashing forward, he scooped up both grenades. Distantly, he heard some rounds smashing into the far wall as he looped back around the operating table. Those didn’t sound right, part of his mind processed as he skidded to a halt in front of the unbroken mako tube. Zack dumped the grenades inside, already turning away as he hit the door control. Unseen, behind him, the tube slowly started flooding with white gas.

Snatching up the Buster Sword, Zack raced towards the front of the lab. More shots fired as he crossed the open doorway. He fetched up behind the closed half of the door in time to watch several feather-tufted projectiles float past, seemingly in slow motion, before impacting against the far wall with a distinctly non-metallic sound. Tranq darts again. His stomach clenched. Gods, he wished they were just regular bullets. Getting shot hurts like a bitch, but wounds heal. These were far more dangerous. They would slow him down. And right now his crazy adrenaline-fueled, mako-enhanced speed was his biggest advantage. Hell, get enough of those darts in him and he’d wake up back in the tank.
