notes – a bit o’ this and that

I want to buy GenoPro, but it costs 50 dollars. Why do all other genealogy programmes fail, hard?

Anyway. I don’t know what’s going on with Clavichord. I lost interest in writing it, I suppose. I want to, but at the same time, I don’t. I think it needs a lot of refining.

On the No Ocean Too Far front, I changed Alexandria and Guinevere’s relationship a bit. They originally had only met for fifteen minutes for their entire (human) lives, but I thought it might be brilliant if they meet April 10th, and have tea daily, over cards, intellectual conversation with a hint of gossip, and the great question — White Star or Cunard? (For the record, White Star.) It works better, and adds more drama. I do like drama.

For the past year or so, Ben and I have been roleplaying out an epic (which I have titled “Behind the Sea,” but we call it the “pirate RP,” cleverly) and I’m rather excited about the fact that we’ve stuck so close to our ideas (”We’ve plotted a good course,” says Ben — note the pun on writing and sailing) so well! I know I do the alternate reality thing way too often, but it’s better than nothing, especially given how dead my muse is as of late (as of late is the past year and a half, by the by). I don’t want to clutter the Twilight Hymn wiki with notes for Behind the Sea, especially not having done any real notes in forever, but I for some reason can’t keep track of my own computer files. I don’t even know what I’m rambling about. I guess I’m hoping something out of this is going to jolt my muse awake. Heh. Right.

parody – what d’ye do…/it sucks

Title: What D’Ye Do With an ‘alo on Earth? / It Sucks To Be Rosewood Glen
Original Song: What Do You Do With a B.A. In English?/It Sucks To Be Me – Avenue Q Cast
Date: April 05th, 2008

I listen to Avenue Q too much. ;o; Maybe I’ll write a comedy/parody musical, purely parodying songs of other musicals, with a very weird, kinda OOC plot. Clavichord first, though.

Kate – Kaori
Brian – James and Charlotte
Rod – Alida
Nicky – Ki’loh
Christmas Eve – Naoki
Gary Coleman – Guinevere
Daiki – Daiki

WARNING: LANGUAGE!

notes – script (drama) – clavichord ; 001

Clavichord focuses on the broken lives and loves of three groups of students at Moraine Private Academy in Rosewood Glen; the “two-thirds clueless, completely hopeless” ones, Matthew, Jayne and Minami – the “time-cursed” ones, Guinevere, Dylan, Sonya, Daniel and Jason – and most prominently, the “tragic triangle,” James, Victoria and Seth. Through the production of a school play, they come to terms with unchangeable facts and struggle to cope with tragedy.

….

Okay, I HATE writing descriptions. ;_; Ahh.

So yes. I guess that’s the basic premise of the play. It’s a musical, but a drama – though of course, there’s comedy! I’m thinking three acts, rather than just two. The song list looks like this so far –

Twelve o’Clock (Noon) – Moraine Academy Students
Life is Like a Musical – Moraine Academy Students
Kiss and Kill – Morrigan, Mira, Naoki, Misaki
Twelve o’Clock (Midnight) – James and Victoria
Come Josephine, In My Faraway Dream… – Guinevere and Jason
Saltwater Taffy (On the Boardwalk) – Matthew and Jayne
Saltwater Taffy (On the Shoreline) – Minami
Annabelle Lee – Seth
Ashwood Isle – Caeden and Kasumi
If Ever I Loved You – James and Victoria
Silken Smokescreens – Riza, Sayurii, Gwendolyn, James, Matthew and Jason
Peripatetic, Gypsy, Boheme – Shayla and Moraine Academy Students
On a Sunday in 1912 (April the 14th) – Guinevere, Dylan, Jason, Sonya, Daniel and Nolle
Dead Little Marionette Doll – Seth and Victoria
Ophelia’s Song – Victoria
Forgive Me (If I Fall Apart) – Jayne, Matthew, Jason, Dylan, Seth and James
Birdsong – James
Rosewood Harlequin – All
