WTF, fic. Just WTF.
Mar. 12th, 2008 07:51 pmI...hit page 40 on this thing today. WHY?!!
Answer: because it's a fun story, and now that I've established the characters I'm focusing on they need to have certain scenes. Also, I'm a talky person. Yeah, I know, you'd never have guessed, right?
Also, Even and Braig are probably getting more pagetime than they strictly speaking deserve, considering that last time I checked, this was a genfic. But a)I ♥ Even; b)I went and kicked the snot out of Braig last scene, so there kind of needs to be a scene of him recovering; c)it's not like the rest of the plot can move on until he wakes up; d)Ienzo and Xehanort didn't have nearly as much to say, because Xehanort has turned into an emopants in this AU and wasn't in on most of the plot anyway; e)I already had a Kairi-and-Kairi scene; f)the Dilan/Aerith scene is for later; g)Braig and Even are just hella fun to write with the bitching and all; h)no one else has anything to say at this juncture.
On the other hand, I'm very happy with the scenes they've been in, including this bit of dialogue:
“Excellent,” said Even. “We still have to get rid of our unexpected guests, remember? And don’t you dare tell anyone I told you, but Dilan and Ienzo are stuck. They need you back to work, you slacker.”
“Yeah, yeah, work, work, work, that’s all you ever say.” As he swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood, his head swam and he almost fell right back onto the bed.
Fortunately, since Braig saw the specter of time spent being hideously bored in a hospital bed looming over him, Even caught him around the waist and steadied him. “Come on. Aerith’s shift starts in five minutes, and she won’t be fooled.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Braig said. “I’m just fine.”
“Of course. And you’re leaning on me because you missed me, not because you’re about to fall over. But lean faster, all right? People around here just don’t have their priorities straight.”
