Adela of Arc

So, I have been intending to write up and post a little portion of Adela's past that I have alluded to (in hopes of explaining away the improbability of her knowledge of the Tango in 1880's Paris). After encouragement by friendlies, I sat down with the honest attempt to get it down and posted. It was crap, as writing often is when you restrict creative writing with obligation. Luckily enough, however, I recently found myself on a seven hour plane trip and bored. With such conditions, I tried again, and was considerably more pleased with the result. So, here it is, The Tango Lesson: or How Adela Learned to Dance the Tango, and Other Fun NPC's You'll Likely Never Hear of Again... Except Arturo. There is still a little more to be said about him. I changed the end of the first part and so I'm going to have to entirely write the second part, but it will happen... eventually. Until then throw on some Carlos Gardel or Gotan Project and Enjoy!

The Tombs of Our Fathers

Name: Adela Scribbles (pt. 4)
Rating: Everyone
Summary: So I had originally intended to do one more Adela entry before I took her back to Paris (mostly because I miss her there and Louis scares me... the other twisted individual in my head for those who are confused). While looking for the next post however, I found that it began awkwardly and I remembered why. So, here's just a short little piece. I like it because it best exemplifies what my band conductor used to say: "Once you know the rules, then you can break them." Those who love making sentence diagrams will hate this post. Also, those of you regularly read my stuff probably have started to notice a pattern in my writing as far a smells are concerned. I don't know why, but I remember things by smells so therefore, everyone else does too
P.S. Adela has a thing about rats based on an incident in her childhood. It didn't scar her mentally in any way other than giving her a touch of Murophobia. But you'll have to RP with her around rats in order to get that story ;)

Name: Adela Scribbles (pt. 3)
Rating: Everyone
Summary: Adela finally reaches "home," soaking wet and greeted by a silent and mostly empty manor. More internal Adela metamorphosis. You actually get another one of my favorite NPC's in this one... Even if she is sleeping. Clara's such a cute kid, I feel bad putting her through this.

Baptism

Name: Adela Scribbles (pt. 2)
Rating: PG (There are some rather emorific thoughts and Adela shows most of her leg near the end... can't let the kiddies see that)
Summary: Still traveling, Adela walks across the countryside of Versailles, to clear her head and as she is too cheap to hire a cab. Warning: This is very long winded with several unnecessarily cumbersome sentences, but I liked some of the imagery, so you get it anyhow. That and the baptism scene is important (no, Adela is not all of a sudden a spiritual person, she's not even aware that I set her up for it, but it's a necessary transition... I think. That and Dupree is hot... yes, I did fall in love with an NPC that exists only in free write).

Getting Out of Paris

Name: Adela Scribbles (pt. 1)

Rating: uh... everyone, I guess

Summary: Due to her own personal angst, Adela has decided that it would be best if she leave Paris for a while. Honestly, it is just as much so she doesn't kill someone as it is for her own mental health. So, it's short, it's not a diary entry, it won't be regular, and will probably be more of later day occurrences then regular day by day accounts, but here you have it: A Sort of Adela AU

Welcome to Random Adela Scribbles

Because Adela exists just as much outside Quartier de Theatre, I decided to share what goes on inside the dark cavern that is my addled brain. Bring a torch and if you find your self becoming alarmed, it is to be expected. Mad props to Ania for her help and unbelievable patience with me... I failed this part of Information Technology class in high school.
