I’m getting some deja vu here. Did I just make a post about Techo being hung over?
Anyway, here’s the deal. We were briefed (I say briefed in the most confusing sense of the word) today on our Visual Diary projects. This suits me well: I’ve been making and updating my personal work almost daily here on the blog. From here on out, I’ll formalise my OC work as the daily visual diary work, because I respond to and filter the world through content for my characters.
Here’s today’s work.
An image I dreamt up a few days ago and thumbnailed lazily during the crit. This is Techo, hung over, just off the bus. Ah, the bus. That was what the last post was.
So you can draw the narrative line anyway: she gets off at her stop, trudges over to the nearest lamppost and slouches against it, forehead first. She’s been trying not to be sick, taking it stop by stop, for the last half an hour, but doesn’t feel particularly victorious.
It is from here that Antonia spots her. Antonia lives right across the street from the bus stop, and is not even dressed when Techo dismounts. It emerges over a cup of tea that Techo has been kicked out of the house by the girl she slept with last night as she had a train to catch. She had a particularly rough night as it is nigh on exactly a year since the breakup with Mist, and her heart hurts.
A funny thing: in a few of my narrative lines, Antonia picks up Techo’s pieces. I like happenstance bringing these two closer and forcing their vulnerabilities into the open. Otherwise, they would not volunteer personal information to each other: Antonia talks to drake, Techo to Mitzi and Ludwig.
