PREQUEL suggestion box (thread 6)

[DestinedFateX]

There is only so much we can suggest for the protagonist to do at such a low spot. So I'll just post some quotes:

"All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on."
~ Havelock Ellis

"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact."
~ William James

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other."
~ Abraham Lincoln

"Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure."
~ George Edward Woodberry

"Failure is success if we learn from it."
~ Malcolm Forbes

There. The appliance of these quotes into reality would probably end with a profitable result, yet, I can't tell whether these words would help for somebody that is incontestably fictional, let alone bound by fate written by another. So I infer that the next best thing to do will have to be to direct these words to the author himself. Good luck!

This is nice. Allow me to add something:
The reason quotes like these have positive effects on some people is because they come from people the "subject" hold in high regards, or from someone so downright unexpected that the surprise sort of slaps him/her out of it. What "Katia" needs is this person.

(For a fast, positive outcome anyways. I don't mind her suffering as long as it's entertaining. "Igor, get the device...*glee*")

Hey, Katia! Did you know that every one of the people who said these things were wizards? It's true. Abraham Lincoln could pull like twelve different kinds of rabbit out of his cylindrical hat!

He also hunted vampires

[Vins]

Anyone has seen K'helt lately? Yea, he was on his way to Kvatch to prevent Katia from drinking any alcoholic beverage, but I believe something might've prevented him from accomplishing the task. Maybe an unexpected ambush, or something. :P

Well, I think if Katia manage to overcome her addiction tonight she should mentally prize herself... with a BADGE!

Yea, I just remade the willpower symbol with paint, but I call this rusty thing the Badge of Will nevertheless.

Also, good news: The open wound in my drawing arm healed, so I can resume drawing now.

[Forthan Eldiar]

Katia> You are your own worst enemy. Think. You have always been running and hiding from you problems. People walk over you because you don't respect yourself and you never will if you can't face down your own problems. Please remember that where there is a will, there is a way. No matter how impossible the challege, there is always a shred of hope. Keep that fire burning in your heart and you can overcome anything.

[Greed]

You know Katia, you could always just start your "fresh start" over again. There's more to Cyrodil than just Kvatch and Anvil. Why not get some second hand clothes wherever you can and head East down the road to whatever city is in that direction. Surely this is a better option than going back to Quill-Weave as a failure again, with an even less believable excuse about how this wasn't really your fault?

all she will do is fail her way across the entire continent before getting killed, getting killed while drunk, or committing suicide.

she needs to finish this.
for continuity
for her own self-esteem
and for her only friend in the entire world (who probably is just using her because she's interested in peasant slobs for her novels)

also holy crap, i'd happily donate some serious goddamn money if it meant these updated faster.
the suspense is literally fucking killing me - every bastard page.
i have a suspense tumor growing in my fucking anticipation gland.

I MAY DIE.
AND THIS IS YOUR FAULT KAZ.
YOURS.

[Greed]

He also hunted vampires

and was the original Pyro under the employment of Team Fortress 2's Redmond.

and let's not even mention his bit with Electric Six.
dude got around.

I felt like I should attempt some fan art.. so here is Katia attacking my personal emblem.

I wasn't able to draw her, unfortunately. In retrospect, this is absolutely terrible...

[SallowFace]

Look at me, I made a fanart! Sort of.

Go ahead Ja'khajiit, try to be happy, your just going to fail.

[TheTurnipKing]

One month ago you made yourself a promise: you were going to turn your life around. You were going to get a real job, stay out of jail, and not get into any more trouble with cults. Nobody thought you could do it; they said your questionable reputation, lack of any useful skills, and flagrant alcoholism would always hold you down.

> KATIA, WHO WERE "THEY"?

and hey, on the plus side: clothes shopping time!

[Here4PrequelForum]

Demitri: Don't be in the same place to heavily assume you're not dead

Quill Weave: Don't talk abbout the mages guild

Katia: Rally the town against the evil SUCCUBUS.

GroUpp: Join evil witch-hunting raid

Singrid: Count your money

Paint on Katia: wash off in rain

LOOK AT ALL THAT ART... glad I still check in,

on a related note, The Pineapple Chronicles part 2 is almost done... I just have some sound work to do and I'm waiting for the materials to do the Foley with.

Katia, look on the bright side, you us... you delusional fuzzball! Now go stand under a overhang and get dry while we try to figure this out.

Katia, no matter what you do, remember this piece of advice:

If anyone asks you about mudcrabs, always comment that they are filthy creatures. But the meat isn't bad, though.

[Smith1994]

Katia> Do not feel shame. Do not feel anything.
You will not allow Sigrid to salt your wounds. You will put that witch in her proper place.
Your frustration will fuel your fire. Your will controls the fire.
Pain will not slow you down. None shall stand in your way.
You came for a new life. Sigrid has robbed you of that opportunity.
You will become powerful. Sigrid will fear your name.
Your persistence proves you are strong willed. With your will, fire shall never consume you. With your will, none shall ever control you.
You will show the world who you are. All will know your name is "Katia Fucking Managan"

[Woulfe Loung]

Katia => Quit
You know why you keep falling down? Because you never pick yourself back up.
You keep saying you can never finish anything? That is because you quit it!
If you are just some dumb stray, then find an owner and be that. A dumb stray.
Walk on all fours. Drink milk from a saucer. Just be someone's pet.
Or prove you are a wizard. Prove you are Katia Manigan.
Prove. Your. Worth.

[Twippit]

Gro-Upp => Conveniently walk out of that building and talk to Katia.

Professional research for her new book about... err... fish.
It's a writer thing, you wouldn't understand.

By the way, is that 81 pages for 5 updates?
I am proud of you, people.

[ProphetLord]

By the way, is that 81 pages for 5 updates?
I am proud of you, people.

An average of 16.2 pages per update then?

Actually it's been about 24 pages since the last update right?

[chimericWilder]

I may or may not be likely to note that, should Kat drink that booze, Oblivion is likely to happen, i think, which is probably something that takes some time to make and all. Alternatively, Kaz is thoroughly busy with exams.

[Autofire]

Ah, the end made me wanna cry. I guess I'll give it a shot.

Katia>Robberies are serious crimes, even if you signed a paper to ensure you agreed with the "donation". You were under a spell, so in reality, the spell signed it. Because robberies are unlawful, the law may be the key to restoring what you was yours. You need a upholder of the law to fulfill a promise....
