@ Fonsi
It came to me this morning when I was lying in bed playing Candy Crush. I definitely think I'm going to go with that because I like the idea of Rae having this ulterior motive behind the killings where she thinks she's doing a good thing. That's cool, just pop it in here when you're done and I'll add everything into the first few posts!

@ dougie poynter;
I think we need to interweave other characters together too, to help with the whole how the group formed aspect.

Either of the titles are fine with me, and I don't mind double posting so I'm fine with that unless you want me to swap?

Also I did start on a type of newspaper some time ago (I think I mentioned it) but i didn't finish it so I could provide what I had and see if you want to include an of it?

I did suggest that for the vigilante. If no one else wants to offer theirs, I'll offer Edwin because he's too weak and controlled to be a suspected threat.

And I think an ending with some dead would be suitable. I think Veronica would be one to survive, but even if Edwin isn't the vigilante, I think he's one to die.

Double post.

@ castiel's vessel
Yeah, we need to have their paths crossing at some point in time so that it doesn't just seem completely random. My two went to school together, so that's how they know each other. I'm thinking something like that, something simple? I don't know whether that would work, but we need something tying them all together anyway.

No, that's fine. As long as you're okay with it, I don't mind!

Yeah, that sounds good! I'm currently trying to finish articles for the magazine and do some NaNo planning, so I'll probably be able to have a read over it either before I leave for work or after I come back (and I swear I won't get distracted by Ewan McGregor and his alluring face this time) and then we could use that as a basis for the description!

I like that idea, because if it's one of them, they'd be instantly suspicious and if he's effectively being controlled by Veronica, then he would be considered a bit of a pushover and no one is going to suspect that he'd have the guts or brainpower to be as cunning as that.

Yeah and besides, if Edwin was to be the vigilante, he's not going to want to kill someone he's sleeping with anyway. I'd probably suggest that Nathan stay alive at the end as well. He's a cunning and manipulative little bastard so I reckon he could find his way through any kind of massacre. Rae would be too 'nice' to fight back or be cunning, so I don't think she'd last long.

(ehehehe double posts are a nightmare. )

@ dougie poynter;
Edwin wouldn't have known any of them because he doesn't come from the town and is isolated. And Veronica could have known some of them through her marriage?

I'm currently on my phone so I can't provide it now, but when I get online i'll post it here.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. And Edwin is too controlled by Veronica to ever try to kill her so that works too.

@ castiel's vessel
So he'd have known them all through Veronica then? That sounds like an idea, some of the group could have been at her wedding. I was thinking that if any of the characters have kids, Rae could have treated them and that gives them a link but that only works if anyone has kids.

Yeah, that's fine. I'll not be back from work until 9 anyway so I'll look at it then.

Yeah, it definitely does. Everything is coming together.

@ ore wa homo janai.
Do you think 25 is an appropriate age?

@ margarine megurine
how about twenty one twenty one is a beautiful number

this may be from too much anime so yeah don't mind this idea

My character can lose her list it cool

You know how I said that my character has a sister complex yeah (or that's what I meant) well, I was thinking that at some point she can go crazy i just want her to go crazy ok bc yolo sweg trying to protect her sister. If it's ok with Kimi, what if Eiko was the one to be the vigilante (like you said as a suggestion), and everyone's all like AW H A W L NAW and Eriko's just like if u touch muh sistah i'mma chop yo dick off and carry it around in my purse for three days (aah references). No, but seriously, what if Eiko was the vigilante, and while the others gang up on her, Eriko just lets her sister complex take over and becomes super duper protective and starts going crazy i'll stop now

whoo an ime stop doing this

@ ore wa homo janai.
I don't know if 21 would even work 'cause then they'd have to have been 11 when they srtarted and the idea of an 11 year old killing just freaks the shit out of me

That's not a bad idea either! We'd need to see what everyone else thinks first, obviously, but I quite like that as an idea.

@ dougie poynter;
but think about it eleven year old killers maybe they didn't really know what they were doing it was like a game to them and they grew up with the 'game' oh god too much anime

And yes I thought of that idea myself
with the help of a n i m e

@ dougie poynter;
So i will get what I said i would posted in this thread today. I totally forgot about it last night when I got on my laptop. But I'm still ill so i'm not in sixth form today.

@ ore wa homo janai.
I think twenty one is still too young. And why would a bunch of young twenty-something year olds get together to plan murders with two eleven year olds?

And if we do that with the vigilante, then your character would probably die if she's protecting her sister who wants to see them all (including her) face justice.

@ ore wa homo janai.
I don't know if it would work though, like Kayleigh said, most of the characters (although to be fair, mines were like seventeen and eighteen when they started) are late teens-early twenties. It's just to make it as realistic as possible.

@ castiel's vessel
Yeah, that's cool, I've been distracted by Pokemon Y doing uni work all day so I've not had a chance to do anything further anyway so I'll pop back in after I've finished doing some reports for the day. I hope you feel better soon!

@ castiel's vessel @ dougie poynter;
okie then twenty five it is

i actually don't mind if my character dies.

@ dougie poynter;
So evidently I didn't save the newspaper thing I was working on although I could have sworn I did save it within my drafts. I'm so disappointed in myself for that.

And I'm actually debating about whether Veronica would have children. I mean, she's married so it'd so fit, but then who'd be the father? Unless she has two (or three) and at least one is Edwin's?

Also if Eiko's the vigilante, why would she want to betray her sister when she's the one she talks to (going from the bio of Eiko)?

@ castiel's vessel
Ah, we can work something up for it anyway! I'm off tomorrow anyway so I'll whip up a draft when I wake up. Much better than doing the uni work that I need to do.

Ooh, I like that idea! Scandal. Especially with the age she is, most married couples tend to have kids by their thirties (or they do around here anyway).

That's a good point, actually.

@ ore wa homo janai.
Characters dying creates an interesting way to write. Kayleigh does have a point though, if Eiko was to be the vigilante, she'd have to be betraying her sister as well as the rest of the group...

@ dougie poynter;
Pfft, everything is better than doing work.

Exactly and I'd think that after two years Ian would have been like "so, what do you think of children" and to help keep her affair with Edwin hidden, she'd go along with everything family orientated because that is what's expected of her and if she didn't he'd think something was up and she doesn't want that.

I made the point because Marge put for her bio that she didn't speak English and only spoke to her sister and it's kind like if she only spoke to her sister, why would she want to save these people and ultimately betray the only person she talks to? It doesn't add up.

@ castiel's vessel
Exactly the reason why I wrote the status report due in for today this morning. Everything is better than work.

Yeah, I think most marriages are like that so kids would be a good...I want to say cover-up, but I don't think that's the right word. Having a family makes it less likely that the affair would be found out though, I think.

Yeah, that is a point. We probably need to properly talk that out when everyone is on and get all of the opinions but I don't know if there's a point where we are all on at the same time. I think the only two people that are guaranteed to be on at the same point are you and me and even then, my sleeping pattern is weird as right now.

@ dougie poynter;
I haven't been in all week because I'm bogged down with the flu (sucks!) but I still haven't done my work that was due in last week.

It totally is a cover-up because most people think "they have kids? no affair there" which is perfect for Veronica. So I'm thinking three boys or maybe two boys and one girl (but one of the boys are Edwin's)?

Well, what we need is Marge to agree or disagree whether Eiko is the vigilante. If so, she'll need to make Eiko's bio add up with that. But if not, then see if everyone else is okay with Edwin being the vigilante (or someone else?). After that's done, we just need a few more links between the characters so that we can actually create a backstory for the group that makes sense before we outline the chapters and start writing.

Also I reckon Edwin and Nathan could be friends? Like, he only has one friend in town other than Veronica (and of course Ian) and seeing as Nathan's a deadbeat...it kinda fits.

ALSO WE HAVE FOURTEEN DAYS TO GET THIS STARTED GUYS.

like i said i watch too much anime so i can go with whatever
i still want my character to get brutally injured/die tho.
