I'm actually proud of this

Hey everyone! I've decided to be merciful and give you all a sneak preview of a scene between Panic and Pilot that I wrote. I think it'll work great visually, although something about it seems a little familiar..... oh well. Tell me what you guys think of this 100% original script!

Pilot:

 (Goes up to Panic’s trailer door)

Panic?

(knocks on door. Suddenly, music starts playing)

Do you wanna help me steal stuff?

C’mon, let’s go hold up a bank.

If you do we’ll be so glad we went

You’ll get fifty percent

So hey now, whaddya think?

We used to do this all the time

We’re partners in crime

I wish you would come outside!

Do you wanna help me steal stuff?

We don’t only have to steal stuff

Panic:

Go away Pilot!

Pilot: Okay Bye!

(a little while later (most likely the next day))

Pilot:

 (knocking)

Do you wanna help me steal stuff?

We’ll go and rob my brother blind!

And then We’ll prob’ly get caught by his wife

She’ll chase us with a knife

As we try to run away!

(no seriously, I think she wants me dead)

It’s kinda hard to carry,

All those bags of jewels,

When you are on your own!

(clink clank clink clank clink clank (scene of pilot trying to run with jangling bags of treasure)

Do you wanna help me steal stuff?

(orchestral)

Pilot:

(knocking)

Panic?

Please, I know you’re in there,

I miss you more than I can bear.

Let’s go out on a thieving spree

And together we

Shall steal all the silverware!

Grand larceny’s more fun, you see,

When it’s you and me,

So here’s what I’m asking you:

Will you come and help me steal stuff?

Panic:
Pilot, it is four in the morning and I am trying to sleep!
Pilot:

Is that a maybe?

I am not ashamed of this at all.  

You may all go back to your lives now.

Love and sparkles,

Kayla

P.S Just in case you are unsure as to how the tune to this goes, here:

 

Character Discussion Post!

Hey everyone! Today's discussion post is brought to you by the Letter K and the Number 18! Why? Because those happen to be my favorite.

All righty then! Let's get down to business. Today's discussion post is all about character building, probably the kind you haven't done before. I want to know all about your character's flaws--not personality/character wise, appearance wise. Now, keep in mind that flaws aren't necessarily negative--I happen to think that odd physical appearances add character and a sense of realism to a character. We can't all be made of chiseled marble *cough cough --Edward--cough cough * For example, I have bushy eyebrows. While me and my eyebrows may not always get along, I feel that they are one of the quirks that adds character to me. Like monster high, today's discussion post is all about embracing your character's imperfections!

So, to start it off, I will be talking about Crane characters!

Crisis: Has a big beak of a nose--and really bony knees. Both of these make him look like a bird, which is why I gave them to him, but then I realized that that makes it so that I have to draw knees... I really hate to draw knees.... stupid things really.

Pilot: has long toes. I don't know why, but they fit. Maybe they help him climb or something.

Panic: Eyebrows! Hooray for thick eyebrows.

Crane: nothing. She's perfect. I'm just kidding. But I can't think of anything right off the bat, so this means I'll have to give her something....

Oh, and something I've noticed in Crane is that I'm way too fond of cheekbones (although if you take a look at the list of actors I find attractive, it's really just a list of cheekbones I DON"T HAVE A PROBLEM WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT) So I'm thinking of changing the title to Cheekbones (with some plot thrown in)*

I've done my bit, it's your turn! Pick a story or just pick some of your favorite characters and talk about their flaws!

Love and Sparkles,
Kayla

*I hope you know I'm not serious. About the title, that is. I am serious about the astonishing amount of cheekbones in Crane...

More Crane Tidbits!

Hello readers! Here I am with some juicy behind the scenes Crane facts! No dialogue this time, but I do have some interesting facts that--while not necessarily important to the plot--are kind of fun to know! I also will be talking a little about some background people.

1. Panic's wedding dress is actually green, because she didn't feel right wearing white, and as a ginger she looks like a sheet wearing white.

2. At the beginning of the story, Crisis's (heh heh. Say Crisis's out loud. You will sound like a snake.) job is that of an archaeologist--well, an archaeologist's assistant.

3. As of right now, Crane's father is named Cadfael and her mother is named Myrrha.

4. Pilot plays guitar. Frequently. And writes cheesy love songs just to annoy Panic.

5. Panic and Pilot have five children--this isn't a spoiler because this actually never even makes it into the story. And their wedding might be cut from it too. I don't know--that are a bizarre mix of raccoon-foxes. They have two girls and three boys. The youngest girl is named Melody, and the oldest girl is named Ginger--and not because of her red hair. I don't know what to name the boys yet.

6. While we are on the topic of Panic and Pilot's future together (Guess who my favorite couple is? XD) Panic actually miscarries their first child. :(

7. On a happier note, Mannequin and Pythagoras are the only unholies married...and they are married to each other. (Panic and Pilot don't count because that doesn't happen until after everything else, FYI)

8. Neither Panic nor Pilot wear shoes. Except in the snow--that's your extra tidbit: there will be snow at some point... and it's a pretty major point!

9. Panic's favorite food is Sausage. And I know that most of these are about Panic and Pilot... that's because background information about Crisis is actually a big part of the story... and I freaking love Panic and Pilot. There's also a pretty big thing about Pilot that I'm dying to tell you guys but can't because it's kind of a major spoiler.

10.  Pilot is the Queen of England. There, I spoiled it (Just kidding, I'm not serious!!!) Some point in the story, Crane rides a pony named Rosie. So there.


Now, time to highlight my favorite background character who is not an unholy (since Mannequin is probably my favorite background/semi main very evil unholy) Drum roll please.....
Jewel!

Jewel is a human contortionist/acrobat that travels with the same troupe as Panic. She's a major chatterbox, and is Panic's best friend, even though they are about as different as night and day; Panic has long loosely braided hair, Jewel has a short bob. Panic isn't really interested in a relationship, Jewel is very boy-crazy. Panic likes to keep things plain and simple, Jewel is over the top extravagant--Her name may or may not actually be Jewel (no one knows for sure) but she certainly looks like one. Jewel wears as much jewelry as possible, and jingles when she walks. Jewel doesn't play too big a part in the story, asides from being there and watching Panic's stuff when she goes on long adventures with, in Jewel's own words, "The two hottest guys in all the world." (Crisis and Pilot)

Any way, Have a marvelous day! I might be posting an expose on Mannequin sometime soon, just because she's wonderfully wicked--think Lady Macbeth and Zira from Lion King II--and adorable to boot!

Love and Sparkles!
Kayla

Crane!

So, I've been thinking a little of overhauling and restarting Crane! I have a new story idea that is way more doable, plus more interesting, and I've given some characters some tweaking to make them better. The Unholies now have a more plausible creation story, and Crane is now 50% more adorable. Oh, and she has a mom now. Her mom may or may not be important....

I've been working on writing the script/redesigning characters thus far, so I just thought I'd give you a little taste of some of my favorite quotes thus far(in no particular order):

Crisis: She's nothing. No one. Nobody important. And if she were, it would be none of your business.
**********************************************************************************
Crane: Hate is like cutting off your own hand and expecting it to hurt the other person; it does them no harm and you no good.
**********************************************************************************
Pilot: I can't believe he still doesn't trust me!
Panic: Well, to be honest, I don't think I'd trust you with my kids either.
Pilot:....What if they were my kids too?
Panic: I'm not sure I like what you're implying there.
**********************************************************************************

Mannequin: Look, darling, the people adore us!

Pythagoras: It’s because you’re so adorable, my dear. (waving)

Mannequin: (waving as well at a cheering crowd as they enter a castle-like building) Aren’t they wonderful? (As the door shuts) I want to rip their little throats out. (Her face changes from charmingly fake to disgusted.)

Pythagoras: Someday, my dear. Someday.

**********************************************************************************

The end...? Or is it? I might post some more tidbits soon!

Love and sparkles,
Kayla

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Or Singles awareness day. Whichever works for you! I don't have much to post, except this cute melancholy picture of my favorite couple! Cookies for whoever identifies them!

But seriously though, aren't they adorable? I'm not sure when in the story this would happen, but I really want to put this pic in.... Anyway, this was just a quick doodle in my sketchbook that gained a life force of its own. I may color it, I may not, but either ways, I love it! 

Love and Sparkles!
