Simplicity And Sincerity Generally Go Hand In Hand, As Both Proceed From A Love Of Truth.

“Simplicity and sincerity generally go hand in hand, as both proceed from a love of truth.”

please please please let me get what i want september

Hey, happy storyteller Saturday! If your characters had to keep one important/personal memento from their childhood, what would it be?

hiii and happy STS to you too!

———

Think I’ll use the characters from Interwoven for this—also I quite like the interview-ish format so we’re doing that:

~~~

“If you had to keep one personal memento from your childhood, what would it be?”

Kaiden:

“I’ve got this.” *motions to the worn blue cloak she’s wearing*

Felix:

“Eh, don’t really do sentiments. Probably the cool little knife my old man got me when I turned… 12?”

Li Hua:

“Oh! I had this little alchemist’s set—it was the highlight of my childhood. Probably not very useful now, but I still think it was awesome! Though I’m not sure where I could put it…”

Aleksi:

“…I’m not sure.” *turns away and says nothing more*

Mehri:

“I have this!” *holds up a pendant*

Noha:

“… the little green blanket.” *straight up leaves*

Harper:

“…Well I didn’t have much, to be fair. Probably a… teddy? Or something? Whatever.” *he looks annoyed and says nothing else. very unlike him.*

Evangeline:

“I had an old sketchbook, I suppose I’d like to have it back.”

~~~ a lot of my characters have old things that they still carry on their person, it’s a theme I’m noticing. Like Harper still wears an old (now fitting) coat, and Aleksi still has old beads that he puts in his hair.

aaaaand that’s gotten quite long I think it’ll just be those!

thanks for the ask, @cc-writes-stuff ! ✨

Y'all I actually wrote some more of this outline! Finally onto the final part which means I need to settle whether or not I want this story to be a tragedy
