Get To Know Your Characters
Jay: YOU DIDN'T WRITE ELIZA!!!!!!Eliza: Well sor-ee!
Ivy: *snorts* Ha! You couldn't write if you tried!
Eliza: UGH! This is offensive! I'm leaving!
Ivy: Oh, let me guess what your not going to do. WRITE!
Jay: *sighs* I'm disappointed in you, Eliza.
Eliza: Jay! Ivy! You- I- I- I'm going! *storms off*
Eli: He-lo?Mello: Oh! Eli! Hi! How are you?
Eli: So she remembers me.
Mello: Oh, Eli, I didn't forget you.
Eli: Oh yeah? WELL WHAT ABOUT MY UNFINISHED MANUSCRIPT, hm? What happened to that?
Mello: Uh...
Seattle: So there you are! Finish my book!
Eli: Get in line, I was here first!
Seattle: Mello! You said you'd write me for nanowrimo! You said!
Mello: G-guys, let's not get hasty here...!
Seattle: You lied! You lied to me!
Eli: How could you?! You'll never write anything of mine again, if there's anything I have to say about it!
Mello: H-hey! Hey you can't do that!
Eli: I just did. Come on, Seattle. You may not even be from my universe, but we have one thing in common -- we were both duped.
Seattle: *sniffles* Okay. Let's go get some ice cream.
Mello: But guys! GUYYYS!
Jay:... What now, Ivy?Ivy: I don't really know...
Jay: Pancakes?
Ivy: Good idea.
Jay: Pancakes are good.
Ivy: Let's go.
Rhea: What are pancakes...?Shreya: PLEASE EXCUSE THEIR UNKNOWINGNESS PEOPLE.
Divya: Ahem.
Autumn: But I'm tired...Rain: Do you think I want to be stuck in this awkward moment until you decide you're awake? Let me answer that for you. No.
Sam: I think it's funny.
Rain: You would. Stupid.
Sam: D:
Rain: *cackles*
Autumn: You two seem to be just fine to me. I think I'll go eat food.

Ivy: OHMYGOODNESS. You don't know what pancakes are?!
Jay: To the pancakes we go!
Ivy: They are cakes in a pan! Sort of.
Jay: Okay, they got it. *leaves*
Ivy: ....PANCAKES!!!! *leaves*
Mod
Me: I'm sorry. That's sort of the point of NaNo, though. Trial and error, right?
Henri: Or you could get it right the first time so I don't have to go through this agonizing fake life.
Me: Or you could stop being a whiny brat.
Henri: Then I wouldn't be me and you, well, you'd have no story.
Gwen: I'm bored. Daniel: I really don't care.
Gwen: Be quiet, Daniel.
Daniel: Ha. I don't think so.
Gwen: ...Whatever. I'm going to get some waffles with Ivy and Jay. Come if you wish, try not to. *leaves*
Daniel: …

Shreya: Yes, unfortunately they have not experienced the awesomeness of pancakes. They're from India, 1946.
Rhea: No, we're from CANADA, 1946.
Shreya: Technically, you haven't gotten to Canada yet.
Ravi: And I doubt we ever will *rolls eyes*
Shreya: HEY. IT'S NANO. I'LL CATCH UP. I'M ON PAGE 60, OKAY?
Divya: All you've been doing is making me flip out about spilling water.
Shreya: IT WAS VALUABLE WATER THAT YOU WERE GOING TO USE TO NURSE YOUR HIDDEN SIBLINGS! WATER IS A FLOW RESOURCE! FRESHWATER MAKES UP LESS THAN 1 PER CENT OF ALL WATER! USE IT WELL!
Divya:...
Daniel: Heheh.Me: I fink I'm gonna get some old characters out!
Indigo: Okay, are they friendly?
Me: Sure. But I have to go now!
Rhea: I WANNA MEET THEM TOOOO!!!!!!Shreya: Wanna meet my old characters as well?
Rhea: No. They're boring.
Samantha: EXCUSE ME?
Shreya: >.<
Me: Bwahahahaha.... Time to call my characters! *takes out blowhorn*Panama: I'm here! Did someone want me?
Me: There you are!! Have you seen Osmo?
Panama: I think he was doing some kind of scientific experiment.
Me: Crap.
Dare: Hey, I'm here! What's up?
Me: Osmo is going to accidentally kill himself.
Dare: Oh. Is he doing some kind of scientific exeriment?
Me: Yep.
Dare: Oh. Well, I better go help. Bye. *leaves*
Jay: Niiicccce...Ivy: *eats pancakes* What, the pancakes?
Jay: What? No. But these pancakes are surprisingly good. *eats*
Laura: Pancakes! Where? *looks around*Me: I don't have any pancakes.
Laura: What's a pancake? It sounds delicious.
Me: How do you not know what a pancake is?
Laura: We live in 2176 and we don't have hamburgers. So, what makes you think we have pancakes.
Me: Actually, I'm in 2011. You're in the future.
Laura: Oh yeah, the future with the man-eating monsters.
Me: Yeah, that future.
Mod
Jay: Oh, you can have some of our pancakes!Ivy: Yes, we must share the delicious goodness!
*pokes characters*I think their dead....
I killed my characters a long time ago. They're currently resting at the bottom of Bad Idea Bay with the rest of my story ideas.
I don't think I've ever really like my characters all that much. I just have issues "talking" to them.
Me: Hey... guys? Sorry I abandoned you.Them: *silence*
Me: I'm just a sucky writer.
Them: Yeah, we know.
Me: Sorry I butchered you than left you.
Them: *silence*
Shreya: I'm going to INDIA!Ravi: You're going to INDIA!
Divya: Are we coming with you?
Shreya: Duh. Except the problem is that Ill be writing about you going to Canada while I'm in India and that'll be really weird....
Ravi: But you are going to write, right?
Rhea: WRITE RIGHT WRITE RIGHT WRITE RIGHT.....
Everybody else: *covers ears*
Me: Hi, Nicole! Long time no see! You cut your hair too!Nicole: *eye roll* like I wanted to. Because of my aunt's (stupid) decision, I had to. Now everyone thinks I'm just one of the boys.
Me: *awkward silence* isn't that the point?
Nicole: Well, duh. Otherwise I'm soooo *mimes head cut off*
Me: You know, you aren't much nicer than when I last saw you.
Nicole: Thanks to the loser school you made. And Luuk is an idiot.
Me: Smarter than you.
Nicole: Whatever. I need to reapply me lip gloss *stalks off*
"You're a total procratinator. I'll just go and train for the trails and wait for you to get motivated."XD That's so me.
Mod
Me: I created you. Of course I know you.
Shawn: What's my favorite color?
Me: Um. That's a good question.
Shawn: You don't know, do you?
Me: You're not a nice person. Go away.
Wren: What? What do you want? Me: I wanna get to know you! :)
Wren: (pauses) Really? Are you kidding me?
Me: ....No?
Wren: Stop wasting our time, you lazy bitch! What do you mean, 'get to know me'? You haven't even written enough of my story to fully develop my character!
Me: Buh-buh-what's wrong with bonding?
Wren: Bonding? Is that what you did to the others?
Me: Wh-what others? What are you talking about.
Wren: Don't play dumb. I know all about them: Alice, Emma... who knows who else? They all had stories you cruelly abandoned.
Me: I'm going to get back to them!
Wren: Sure you are. I pity us, left in the hands of such a fickle, aimless failure. *spits*
Me: Why did I make you so meeeeeeaan??
Aw, damn, I was trying to put italics on meeeeeaan??

Mod
Me: And what would give you that idea?
Shawn: I've seen what goes on in your head and your other stories. Need I bring up Lyndsay?
Me: I haven't even started her story yet!
Shawn: And you're still planning to do terrible things to her. I'm just glad I'm in a realistic slow paced story where there isn't much room for tragedy.
Me: Uh uh.
Shawn: I'm just warning you, Wren, authors can do whatever they want. It's a tricky tightrope to walk.
Wren: I don't need advice from you, Shawn! I have four advisors for that!Me: Hey! Don't be mean to the other characters!
Wren: This useless bum can do whatever she wants with me. It's not like I've got anything to lose. She didn't write me any of that. *spits*
Mod
Merrilee: Why are you so apathetic, Shawn?
Shawn: I'm not! It just doesn't concern me and my life. *shrugs*
Merrilee: That doesn't mean it isn't important...
Shawn: I guess...?

Divya: Shreya! TWO weeks and you've handwritten 25 pages? I thought you would write 50! Ravi: YEAH! YOU ONLY HAVE TWO WEEKS BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS STAMPING ON YOUR CREATIVITY AGAIN!
Shreya: Technically, if I wrote 25 pages in two weeks, and I have another two weeks left, I should be able to write 50.
Ravi: Oh, stop impressing us with your not-really-smartness.
Leila: Hey, she introduced me into the story. She's done fine.
Shreya: Thank you, Leila. And I was typing some old chapters of YOUR STORY up to send to my EDITOR.
Rhea: You have an EDITOR?
Ravi: Psh. It's her friend.
Shreya: MY FRIEND WHO IS AWESOME AT EDITING!
Anjali: It's just an excuse to read your story.
Divya: Yeah. She doesn't even change anything.
Leila: Yes, she does! She just adds a lot of compliments to be nice.
Anjali: Why are you standing up for Shreya anyway?
Divya: It's because Leila is a new character, still blind to Shreya's evil ways.
Phillip: Hey. I'm new and I've realized her evil ways already. She made the girl I like hate me!
Rhea: Who's the girl you like?
Leila: Anjali, of course!
Phillip: SHUT UP.
Me: What's this?D.J.: Spray paint, du-uh.
Me: ON MY SCHOOL??
*awkward silence*
Jean - Pierre (JP): Are you head or something?
Me: Me? No. That's Jinx.
Jean - Pierre: Than how is this your school?
Me: Well -
*awkward silence*
Me: I might not be able to talk with you and Lily for awhile Jenna
Jenna (Demandingly): WHY NOT?
Me: Erm.. well... There's this cute boy... and homework and stuff.
Jenna: Remember when Tib dumped me?
Me: Sorry
Jenna: That is what is going to happen to you and Mr. Cute if this chapter isn't done by tommorrow.
Me: Yes MAM!
Jenna: Don't you Yes Mam me!
Jenna (Demandingly): WHY NOT?
Me: Erm.. well... There's this cute boy... and homework and stuff.
Jenna: Remember when Tib dumped me?
Me: Sorry
Jenna: That is what is going to happen to you and Mr. Cute if this chapter isn't done by tommorrow.
Me: Yes MAM!
Jenna: Don't you Yes Mam me!
Me: I've found it, Wren! At last, one character who did not end in neglect! Wren: Well, this should be good.
Me: Drumroll, please-*random butler taps off a tune*-JEAN!
Wren: Of course you finished her, Jean was a character in the short story you wrote for school!
Me: Still, I am not entirely hopeless. Take faith, my dear character.
Wren: Don't you 'dear character' me! Need I remind you that you killed Jean off by the end of the story?
Me: Of course I did! It was a horror story!
Random Butler: I'd like to read that; I don't mind a good horror story before bed.
Wren: You are dismissed, butler! Please take your drum set away!
Mod
Merrilee: We could change that.
Shawn: Anyone seen any good movies lately?
Merrilee: *facepalm*
Me: OK so I've been thinking about it and it's not really fair to leave you guys like that 4 month period or that 2 year period 3 years ago...
Jenna: Oh yeah about that whole abandoning us for 2 years Lily kinda left with Tib and they started their own imaginary world.
Me: Oh thats Ok... WAIT WHAT?!
Jenna: I probably should of told you that...
Me: How is it even possible if you're all just in my head...
Jenna: That's what you think.
Me: I hate you.
Jenna: Harsh!
Jenna: Oh yeah about that whole abandoning us for 2 years Lily kinda left with Tib and they started their own imaginary world.

Shreya: I'm sorry. But it's little-kid crushes. Phillip's eight and Anjali's seven.
Phillip: Meh. I think I'm agreeing with that Nelly person over there. I hate you. Because you made Anjali hate me.
Anjali: What? I don't hate you! You're just a bit rude sometimes! But Divya Didi told me that all eight-year-old boys are like that.
Divya: *slinks away*

Aspen: I'm kind of in the mood to watch a bad movie. I'm sick of indie films and foreign films and films with all these deep meanings.
Shawn: Then... go ahead.
Aspen: I'm not going to a movie all by myself.
Shawn: You don't have to go by yourself!
Aspen: You'd go see Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked with me?
Shawn: Um.
Tally: Oh, I want to see that!Rain: You do? o_O
Tally: Totes, girlfriend.
Rain: Did you just say totes? And girlfriend?
Tally: Yes. I'll watch it with you, Aspen!
Sam: You have fun with that.
Tally: Go away, Sam. Nobody likes you.
Mod
Shawn: I'll just go... edit some film... or something. You two have fun.
Aspen: We will.
Tally: Wait, is the movie actually out yet?Sam: *facepalm*
Mod
Me: Yep. It's playing at the movie theater by the condo we're staying in. Garret wants to go see it. A third movie was not necessary.
Shawn: The first movie wasn't necessary. In fact, whoever created Alvin and the Chipmunks back in the 60s or whenever made a very big mistake.
Trey: Hey. Alvin and the Chipmunks are classic characters.
Shawn: Of course you'd think that.
Divya: Who are Alvin and the Chipmunks?Shreya: THEY ARE 1940's CHILDREN EXCUSE THEIR UNKNOWINGNESS.
Divya: Are you EMBARASSED by me?
Shreya: No, no, no.
Ravi: Are too.
Rhea: I like chipmunks.
Me: ANOTHER day of watching chipmunks talk and sing. *groans*Luisa: Exactly why we can play Uno now!!!
Cheryl: Sure! D'you have a pack?
Luisa: *roots around in purse* Uh... no.
Cheryl: Aaaaaaawwww....
Me: *wants to crawl under table*
Luisa: Well... we can make our own!!
Cheryl: YEAH!!!! THIS WILL BE THE BEST CRAFT EVER?
Me: You guys still do crafts?
Luisa: DUH. Only last week I made a paper boat! I named it Cheryle.
Cheryle: Funny, I made a paper airplane and I called it Luisa!!!
Luisa: YAY!!! BFF FOREVER!!!
Luisa and Cheryle: *hug*
Me: *feels embarrassed because of all this*
Cheryle: So do you have any crayons?
Luisa: *roots around in purse* Uh... no.
Cheryle: Problem solved! We can make our own!
Luisa: AWESOME!!!
Cheryle: So we get some wax - like from the candles!
Luisa: And dye it colors!!!!!
Cheryle: Do you have dye, Abigail?
Luisa: Like suicide, you know. *pretends to kill herself*
Cheryle: THAT IS THE BEST PUN IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!! *pretends to die*
Everyone else: *was watching the whole thing*
Me: *facepalm* I choose Alvin.
Mod
Shawn: I'm pretty sure that pun isn't appropriate for a children's group.
Jim: Oh, c'mon, Shawn. That was a really funny pun.
Me: Eh, Shawn's probably right. Ah well.

Divya: *covers Rhea and Rohan's ears*Shreya: Stop freaking out. They're not going to say the pun and the twins won't get it anyway.
Divya: Why are all your characters the type of people who "don't get it"?
Shreya: THEY'RE FIVE YEARS OLD!!! OF COURSE THEY WON'T GET IT!!!
Divya: But ALL your characters are like that. Especially me. *glowers*
Shreya: It's because I'm like that, Divya.
Divya: Gee thanks.

Merrilee: How do you know?
Me: Soooo..Whitney: So, what?
Me: Well, I'm stilling trying to plan your future.
Whitney:Huh? You are planning my future. Hows that even possible?
Me: Well, Whitney, I created you of course, so I'm supposed to know everything about you.
Whitney:You mean...everything as in 'everything, everything' or just everything.
Me:Um...I don't see the difference but, yes Whitney, EVERYTHING!
Whitney: And you still don't know and I've been here for...how long now? years???
Me:Ha! Nope. Okay maybe a couple of years...but no fear! I'm working on it!
Whitney: *rolls eyes* sure. Whatever you do, try not to make a die a horrible death like...
