A while back, I began writing a few tales as supplementary works to my roleplay characters. This story group began to expand and I think it's worth posting here to get some feedback on. Most of these tales are reliant on the original source material and characters, so it will be hard to understand a lot of them without understanding the cast, so it'll probably be harder to understand. At any rate, I still think it's worth showing, and will do my best to provide answers here in this thread to make the stories easier to understand.
The Journal: Tales of Childhood
Story List:
Isis-Related Tales:
"Found", "Abandoned", "Birthday", and "The Garchomp Incident":
These are the tales for which "The Journal" gets its name, and all revolve around Isis's childhood. Isis is my character in PokeRP (aka Magikarp's Revenge) These revolve specifically around her childhood and what it was like, and the sort of things that give insight into her actions and outlook on life in the RP. "The Garchomp Incident" is currently pending rewrite, and may-or-may-not remain a Noodle Incident, depending on what seems more potent.
"Game Night":
This tale was one I just had fun with; this is a hypothetical collection of my RP cast all playing a video game and entering a chatroom. I like this one because of how candid I could be with all the cast members, and how naturally the dialogue seemed to come. This one has no real bearing on any of the current RPs, but I felt it would be nice to just let them all hang out for once.
"Campfire Tails":
This one does not revolve so much around Isis herself as it does her Pokemon team. When Isis falls asleep (shortly after THE LONGEST BATTLE IN THE RP) from exhaustion, her Pokemon let themselves out for a rare chance to chat. The group consists of Azure the Dewott, Isis's ever-faithful and fiercely loyal starter, Cerberus the Snubbull, the violent, human-hating survivalist, Black Hound, a Houndour concerned only with survival, Yanni the Pancham, an eager and egotistic young creature, Horus the Skiddo, the slightly masochistic and wiser-than-appearing goat, and, of course, Dinner the Magikarp.
"Dog Days":
Not directly related to Isis herself, this story series details the past of Cerberus the Snubbull. The little pink ballerina dog has a raging hatred for humans, and the start of it all is shown as her life is turned upside-down one fateful day. The story is as of yet incomplete, but aims to provide insight and backstory to the cuddliest-looking rage-monster.
"Obsession/Temptation":
Another one featuring one of Isis' Mons, this story is directly related to this post here, and revolves around Isis's latest arrival, the mysterious Liepard "Nasha". I suggest reading the post it's based off of first, as this tale was actually written as part of that post. I removed it for the sake of time, but I liked it enough to make it a quick little tale here.
More to come as I write them. Critiques and commentary is welcomed.
