Planning & Brainstorming

As Haddie would say - "he's patched the best we can, it's up to his own will now whether he returns to us or goes to the other side"

Hm, depending on what you do I may have to put that in there somewhere.

I just thought of something Elo.
What if Gloria and her father come in his big Bell rescue helicopter? They could take Mike, Morgan, Ash & Mrs. B. to the island where there is a top notch medical team in residence. It might be a good place to hunker down and prepare to fight whatever demons might still be coming after Ash. Also, discussing and treating demon wounds won't be an issue on Aunt Sarah and Uncle Ben's island.
It occurs to me that if Mrs B. is being pressured to sell her farm to developers, why doesn't she sell, and move to the island at Sarah and Ben's request? I'm thinking about getting Thalion's Elven folk involved on the island too, eventually.
Thoughts, ideas, feedback?
Moon

Oh and Island Hide out - that could be cool. But it's going to be one hell of a fight to get Mrs. B off her farm. She's a stuborn old woman, she was born there and raised there and come hell and danmation she's got to have one good reason to move from there. - Lets see what Spook and Anna think.

Speaking of Anna, I know Mike's a biker without a bike, does he have a home, or is he drifting?

Oh, and Moon: What kind of climate does this island have? Is it tropical? Northern? Maybe in between?

:} Elorithryn

Okay Moon, you wanted to jump in and since Anna is feeling sick, I shall let you orchestrate, at least, the arrangments to get to this posh island you mention. (I'm hoping no one else objects, since you could likely post before Anna or Spook get on again.)

Haddie may or may not go... right now she's telling me won't leave the farm. She'll let Morgan and Mike go with Ash. I think she knows she's starting to show her age. More than anything she wants to be confidant that Morgan will be able to take care of her self when she is gone. I think she knows her time in the world is becoming limited, and its best to let the young ones have the adventures.

The Island I'm fashioning Sarah and Ben's Island off of, is in the 1,000 islands, on the St. Lawrence river. It's called Hart island, and the castle on it is called Boldt Castle. George Boldt, the famous billionaire built it for his wife, but when she died more than half way through construction, he abandoned it. anyway, it fell to rack and ruin over the decades, but it was always a big tourist attraction. It's being rebuilt, and there are several boat tours and ferries from Alexandria Bay New York, that go out to it. If you're interested, just type in Boldt Castle, 1,000 islands.

Boldt castle is the place that Sarah and Ben's own castle, is based on. Just for easier identification, the island is called Peace Island and the castle is called Serenity Rest. The inner core of the castle had once been a small monastery where monks had fled to escape religious persecution. there were some rumours that it might have been a Druid site way back in history.

Peace island is fashioned off of Hart Island, but it doesn't have to be on the St. Lawrence River, it's just that I'm familiar with the area. I was thinking that the weather on Peace Island is always semi tropical. It exists sort of in a bubble. It's protected by magic charms and spells, some are Elven, and some were placed on it by a famous wizard that once hid out there. The actual location of Peace island is up for interpretation, since it is a magical place.

Feedback from all and sundry will be greatly appreciated, (As long as All and Sundry don't bicker. Sundry can be irritable sometimes.)

Oh I like it. I think the vague location is cool. Maybe it drifts between all the Great Lakes, never quite in the same place twice. Winters off the island at least; will be cold for Morgan, but she's used to simi-hybernating in wnter time any way. (I don't know if you've all pick up on this yet, but Morgan gets most of her power form the sun.)

Oh, and I think Morgan's been talking with her grandmother - Haddie might go after all:

"Come on Grandma B, you always say never pass up a chance to travel." I look pleadingly at her. I see her will start to bend. "Please, it's just a visit, it's not like we're moving there.
"And who will over see the house?"
"Ask Pete. He won't mind"
"And who's gonna pay the bills?"
"Um, my college fund?" I look at her hopefully.
"Not a snowballs chance, young lady, you will be going back to school."
I am crest fallen. Grandma needs to get out of this place, she needs to be refreshed. It's tied her down too long. "Please?" I beg one last time.
(insert someone offering to take care of the bills, Haddie hems and haws and finally goes)

I just wrote my chapter, to be quickly followed with another one. I was thinking that the island wasn't centred anywhere, it sort of floated around. There is no winter there, but if Morgan wanted to leave the island during the the winter, the island is completely open. People can come and go as they choose. At the end of the next chapter that I'm writing, this will become a little clearer. I guess I'll have to change my chapter, if Haddie's going to go after all. I had her wanting to stay so the developers don't steal her land with phony court order. I'll try to work int he conversation in my own words, but it will have to be cropped some. Time is of the essence. They wouldn't be standing in the kitchen arguing about college funds, when Ash is dying in the living room. Everything right now has to be about getting Ash to the hospital. They can argue about bills, etc. in the Helicopter.

Moon

Thanks for the chapters Moon. I've posted some critque with them. Just a couple inconsitancies with previous knowledge.

In fact I'll appologize again here - because I really hope I don't come across as hard to work with. I'm just very detail oriented. And if we're going to write a story together I want us to do it well. I'm a big proponent of doing it right the first time. :} Maybe it's all because I'm posting at work. But I think it's really just how I am.

I am VERY pleases with how this story is turning out. /HUGS. I'm just making sure our story doens't take a right turn in Albuquerque, when we were going left. (To paraphrase Bugs Bunny)

Huggles, giggles and grins

Ok again exhausted.
When ever you need or want me to post as Mike just tell me lol.

I am feeling much better atm so hopefully the ill will be over soon and I can focus on protag.... Oh I mean my GCSE's obv ; ) (Shhh nobody heard that lol )


xxx

Heard What Anna? All I hear is your brain slowly absorbing all the inofrmation you need to pass those GCSE's (um, whatever those are exactly) with Flying Colors and Fan Fair! *giggle*

I've got some bubbling thoughts for a Morgan chapter - but I want to know must be answered by Spook: When is Ash waking up?*
* This question does not necessarily need to be answered before my next post; however it would be nice to know for my post after that.

Yeah so I was gonna do something with Ash in surgery - Morgan still connected but finally getting rest and not being so drained - and into the recovery room, where Morgan spends all her time, back in the sun, half sleeping half awake...

Oh Spook - could she perchange dream of something from Ash's childhood, seeing as she's connected to him via his 'inner' child. Don't know what or why, maybe give us a little more insite into him I guess. Just a thought.

:} Elroithryn

Hm.. apparently my ideas need to percolate a little long before I can fill my cup and write with the coffee... see what I mean, my words are coming out in serealistic sentances and apparently I'm having difficulting with making the words look write to. I think I ought to ... zzZzzzZzzzZzzzz

:} Elorithryn

OKay I put a little something up.

Anna if you'd like to try and put a little something up from Mike's perspective - say moving Morgan to a bed in the recovery room that Ash will be placed in and maybe sending everyone else to bed.

If you're not up for it, maybe Moon could do it?

:} Elorithryn

@ SpoOoK (sorry had to put the extra o in there for emphasis)

Okay the jist of what I just wrote that needs YOUR input is as follows:

Morgan dreams of dancing in a field of flowers, then she spots soemone watching her and 'ducks'. The figure approaches and it's Ash. He claims she's perfect, she claimes she 'sa failure, he claims she's saved him, she tells him to wake up and prove it, and runs off. Ahs catches her and they kiss. Well they would have if Grandma B hadn't woken Morgan up to go eat lunch at an inopertune spot. Morgan gets up (after Grandma B leaves) and goes to Ash's bedside. Her hand on his, Morgan leans over with the intent of kissing his forehead and saying that she would be back... Ash has shared her dream - does he take her challenge? And if so what moment does he choose to wake up? And when he what does he do?

My thoughts:
You can have him wake up then, startling Morgan by opening his eyes as she leans over him, or maybe he takes hold of her hand as she's about to walk away. Or maybe he calls her name as she's about to leave the room... or (if you have to torture him more :P) maybe he wakes up while she's out of the room, feeling tormented by his dream.

@ Anna
Morgan wants to know if she'll get faerie wings and what other things to expect about being a faerie from her Dad.

:} Elorithryn

@Elo

Ooh, yes yes, me like this idea... tell me when Morgan's coming in and I'll show you which one verdict I've decided on... XD

Mua ha ha, I love being this evil, XD

@ Spook
Um, I'm not sure I understand - see, she's sleeping in Ash's recovery room (at least that's where they better have put her!)

I Don't know if Anna want's to do a chapter or Moon before my dream sequence (that I summarized above).

So what is the verdict - oh evil one? *giggle*

:} Elorithryn

The Evil One isn't telling you, you'll have to wait and see... *sniggers evilly*

Okay, I'll see if anyone's posted in the morning, otherwise I'll get a move on myself shall I?

Well Morgan's Dream Sequence is wrritten - maybe I'll just post it as I have it tonight and I can then edit the ending based upon the evilness you throw at us. :P

By the way - I think Morgan and Ash are pretty linked right now. Seeing as she was his life line for so long before the medics took over (and their emotions for eachother) - so even if he goes screaming running off the island, Morgan will know he's awake - heck he may even be able to feel her presence on the edges of his mind, of courrse he may not realize exactly what it is and that it really is Morgan.

:} Elorithryn (isn't sure Morgan likes falling for Ash with you as the master mind) {:

Ha ha you had him kiss her, then ask a totally facicious question to spoil the mood. How typically guy like.

So would he likely end up confessing his love now, or is that a feeling he might try to keep inside. Morgan has a thousand thoughts and feeling running through her head, but I she's pretty tongue tied, then the nurse will probably come in (the machines having informed her of Ash waking up) and Morgan will make her escape outside to talk to Gloria.

I confess, I'm a bit nervous writing Ash into my peice, I don't feel I know him quite well enough. He never really did interact with Morgan on the bus.

So how will he act (not that he can do much, being bandaged and tied to a bed bed all sorts of IVs and stuff) and what will he say to a Morgan who's acting a little flustered, shy and who sneaks away?

:} Elorithryn

Mefinks Ash was trying to impress her... still to weak to do any stupid physical acts so he's resorted to half-dead witticisms......

Ah, perhaps they should have talked a bit more. Don't worry, he's a pretty simple sort of person. He'll be friendly, and just hope she loves him back, probably drop hints... just try to be flippant about the whole situation really, until he starts asking himself questions, then he gets more serious.... you getting my drift?

I think so. And I think I've solved my delima anout Ann's post. I'm editing the ending of Dream Interupted. There will be no serious questions yet, not from Morgan at least. She was too surprised by his kiss to think of asking them. Plus being who she is, she wouldn't want to bother him with them just yet. Let him recover a bit so they can have a conversation sitting in the grass in the sunshine.
