17: Turn

Vulpine Bios

Title of the last post should have been 16, not 17. My bad, haha. At least this update was timely!

It was nice to bring our "warm" POVs together again. Next chapter will see a reunion of the "cool" ones, to keep everything in balance, as it should be. It's been awhile since all 4 POVs had something to do with each other (the whole ambush thing - although Trick and Sprite still have not met!), so this should be fun. Befitting a "turn," really.

One thing I do like is how the characters - mostly the warm ones, but occasionally the cool ones too - always hope for stuff. They outline these perfect, idealistic scenarios in their mind - Sprite finding Koulder again and taking him home to Sage, for example, or (on the flip side) Riven killing Koulder in front of everyone to prove his strength and revel in the glory of it all - and honestly believe they have a chance of coming true. They never do, of course - what a boring story that would be, if everyone just got exactly what they wanted (although it would almost work, the way this one's set up, since Sprite and Riven's perfect worlds would definitely butt heads :P) - but something about crushing those dreams and watching them make new ones to cope with it is just really satisfying.

But maybe I'm just a monster, haha.

@Swyfte: "Turned" mean? I'm surprised you think I was ever nice! Besides, the story's entire premise is "lots of cute cuddly things are set up to kill each other." Can't have a story like that without a blackened heart, now can we? :)

@Pain: Is FaunxTrick a ship now? I would say CoolTempershipping, but of course we don't even know what the Tempers really are yet, do we? They were briefly mentioned in Sprite's first chapter (months ago! That's hard to believe, isn't it?) but haven't been brought up since, I don't think. But I'm getting side-tracked. Considering Faun & Trick's only interactions thus far have been her extracting a favor out of him and then turning around to try and use that favor to kill him, they have a lot of work ahead of them if they want to not-dislike each other. xD

That's all for now, I s'pose. See you next Sunday!
