Today I spent a lot of time at work thinking about the story. In yesterday's post, I wrote about the general theme and influences but after going to bed I realized I wasn't satisfied with the beginning of the story. When I thought about starting it with a terminally ill man, I was trying to avoid writing about the human Amagi used to be. As soon as I got home, I made an outline for a new prologue.This version is about a pair of war orphans who end up being experimented on. I wanted to take advantage of turning back the clock to hint at how android technology is developed. 

The prologue begins with subjects 08 and 09 who are living in a medical facility with other war orphans. The orphans are given shots of a substance and examined regularly. In general, they appear to be in good care until one day an orphan goes missing. The children's caretakers turn a blind eye and ignore the subject. 08 and 09 decide to look for the missing child. I think this prologue is a step in the right direction. I think I'm still unsure of how androids are made in this world, so that might be the next thing I work on. Additionally, I've rewritten a bit of the story after the prologue as well. It's a bit more solid and have added new characters.

One of the new characters is Rita, and I imagine her having twin tails and being on the short side.She's the kind of person who shoots first and asks things later. I think I'll have a fun time writing her character. I've also have the concept for the antagonist and I think it's pretty decent. It definitely changes some of the ideas I've introduced in yesterday's post, but I think it works a lot better. I apologize for being vague but if I went into depth, I'd be writing here all night.

On a side note, I've been listening to breakcore tonight as I write. It's really good and I think some of the music fits the vibe I'm going for. 

The music can feel very ethereal, as if you're just wandering your subconscious or something. I hope you enjoy the music, I actually spent 30 minutes wondering why videos wouldn't embed into my post. It turns out Joomla has this weird text filtering thing on in two different places and I had to disable just enough to get videos to work on here.
