Forest City Chapter 10 -Interrogation-

-
    Cobalt waved at me, he was heading inside his house, Mr. Lupin turned his head, saw me and grabbed Cobalt's arm leading him inside, Mr. Lupin didn't seem too thrilled. I glanced at my phone...
    Cobalt: 5:23 "Almost out of detention >:D"
    Cobalt: 5:25 "Dad is practically dragging me to his car, can't wait to get my own car... :P"
    Cobalt: 6:00 "Just got out of dad's lecture, he is real angry right now."
    I smiled nervously at Aunt Hazel, she looked awfully suspicious.
    "Well, it looks like you've met our neighbours? Do you have Mr. Lupin for any classes?" Aunt Hazel started asking questions, oh boy here we go, "Are Cobalt and Bonnie friends now that you and Bonnie are friends? Oh I wonder if Mr. Lupin remembers Clove?"
    "Uh," that's all I could say.
    "I'll ask one by one, I get impulsive when I talk dear."
    "That's fine, I guess."
    Hazel got on the driver's side and asked, "Mac, do you have a permit? Or a license?"
    "I don't feel like driving, but, I do have a license if you were wondering," I answered.
    "Well, I'll start asking you questions, you know I love hearing all about high schoolers and their... drama."
    "You sure do, Hazel."
    "So, you've met Cobalt... are you friends?"
    "Yeah, you could say we're friends."
    "Oh no! My worst nightmare, you NEED to stay away from that boy, he's a bad influence!"
    "But-"
    "Mac, you'll understand someday why I don't want you hanging around him," Hazel said, then sighed.
    "I don't feel like talking about this anymore," I said then rested my face on my hand, I stared out the window as Hazel parked the car in a diner's parking lot.
    "Well, we're here," Hazel stated the obvious.
    "Yeah, sure whatever," I said with a hint of melancholy.
    "Oh, Mac, I just want to look after you," Hazel tried to reassure me.
    "Then why,!?" I said trying not to let tears flood my eyes, "Why did my dad think that this would FIX me!"
    "Fix you..." Hazel trailed off, "he thinks he can fix you... by sending you to my place..."
    "Yeah... the same way he took away Clove... he's known for a while now... he thought... he could FIX me himself."
    "Sweetie... there is nothing wrong in being who you are... and if you want to be friends with Cobalt... then go ahead, I shouldn't control what you do," Hazel said, "Now let's get inside, I'm hungry and I'm sure you are too!"
    I smiled slightly, I think Hazel is starting to understand now.

    Definitely happy with Hazel's character arc in this chapter.

      That's great to hear! I hope to flesh her out even more as a supportive mom-like character. She seems like the type to carry around a bag exclusively filled with snacks.

Character Files: Monty

-
Image
      It kind of is funny to me that my first intentions when I made Monty was to have a nerdy character be the evil one. Monty originally was going to be a villain at first. I had made a business seagull dude that would be his father who was really mad that Cobalt was this teenager who constantly was getting in trouble with the law. Monty, I imagine, would go on the adventures with Cobalt and Mac just to spy on them. I feel he would have made a great twist villain in that story, but now Monty is a lot nicer... sort of. Monty has gone through the least changes in his design over time, I feel his personality has changed the most out of all the characters. Introducing! Incarnation 1: "Olive," was all Monty was, a simple little short dove character that hated mischief and only wanted order, like his father. I can imagine a good redemption arc for this character though. Incarnations 2: This isn't the only drawings of Monty, he has had some other drawings, but I found tha...

Forest City 3 Part 7 -Fancy House-

-
    I feel more homesick than ever, I walked alongside Cobalt, he decided to take me home after school with his mom so that I could meet her. I felt bad about Monty, I felt bad about Mr. Lupin , I felt bad about Bonnie, I felt bad about Cobalt, I felt bad about myself.     "Hey! Is something wrong?" Cobalt asked me as we walked out the school parking lot.     "I-I don't know, I just feel like I've done everything wrong," I answered, "I can't seem to find the words."     "Oh," Cobalt trailed off then tried to cheer me up by changing the conversation, "you'll like my mom." He seems to be avoiding the conversation.     We got into the car, Cobalt in the front, driver's side, his mom next to him, I sat behind Cobalt's mom and set our backpacks behind Cobalt's side.     "I believe, I've already met Mac, sweetie," Mrs. Lupin reminded Cobalt.     "Yeah, well, I don't think that it was a very g...
