We continue from our discussion of how the romance and escape artist subplots are best told in a serialized format. From there we speculate on which governmental organizations would be in on what in this universe.

Episodic is good. It certainly allows us to have... more... noir?
On the whole Catholicism thing, with the demonology, maybe the organs convince her that the demons are real?
Wow, so much context is needed to understand that sentence fully...

Haha, yeah. But yes, I like that. But why would they? They're intelligent, but not sapient, I wouldn't think.
Re: Story Idea
From POMegranate POMegranate to Persomem Persomem Jan 19, 2012 7:37 pm
Maybe she thinks that they are the demons?
But,
man, what a cop-out that would be, when it turns out that they're just
her organs all along. Okay, she knows that they're her organs, but she
sees them as demons, in a sort of metaphorical-yet-literal sense.

I can deal with that. I never really thought of her as being particularly religious, though.
Re: Story Idea
From POMegranate POMegranate to Persomem Persomem Jan 19, 2012 7:41 pm
I
thought that there was this dramatic backdrop of demonology? But, yeah,
she herself isn't all that religious, or at least not pious. She just
thinks that this is what the Bible meant when it said that Jesus cast
out demons.

From Persomem Persomem to POMegranate POMegranate Jan 19, 2012 7:43 pm
Yeah,
there is, it just seems a little hard to work in. Maybe she's the type
of person whose faith varies from day to day.

I
always saw her relationship with her FBI partner sort of
Mulder-and-Scully-ish, so, maybe? I don't know; I'm just trying to fit
the whole demonology business in myself. Maybe it ties into her mother,
something her mother said? A scripture, perhaps? "I am Legion, for we
are many"?
Re: Story Idea
From Persomem Persomem to POMegranate POMegranate Jan 19, 2012 7:47 pm
That could be an interesting. And, FBI partner?
Re: Story Idea
From POMegranate POMegranate to Persomem Persomem Jan 19, 2012 7:48 pm
Yeah, I was going to ask you about that. She is FBI, right?
Re: Story Idea
From Persomem Persomem to POMegranate POMegranate Jan 19, 2012 7:49 pm
I
figured the technology came from some CIA-ish secret branch. maybe they
also employ the Silver Bullet? Or maybe that's UN related.
Re: Story Idea
From: POMegranate POMegranate to Persomem Persomem Jan 19, 2012 7:52 pm
Haha,
the UN, awesome. No, Silver Bullet's federal, US technology, unless
you're talking about the parasites, which would also have to be US,
since the same tech is used with the escape guy. Uh, I like the idea of
the UN, though.
Re: Story Idea
From Persomem Persomem to POMegranate POMegranate Jan 19, 2012 7:57 pm
The parasites feel a little UN-y, to be honest. But, yeah, Bullet's American.
Re: Story Idea
From POMegranate POMegranate to Persomem Persomem Jan 19, 2012 7:58 pm
So,
Parasite Girl and the Silver Bullet's fates grow more and more entwined
as the Silver Bullet kills the bad guys of the secret organization and
Parasite Girl delves deeper into this organization... crap, the thing
with the Kuru and the genetically modified wheat is become just a
Macguffin now.

I'm
sure there's a way to tie it in a little more strongly. Or maybe all
the details are irrelevant, and we just wanted science fictiony excuses
to write a romance.
Re: Story Idea
From POMegranate POMegranate to Persomem Persomem Jan 19, 2012 8:04 pm
Like I said, episodic.
Umm, we get the World Health Organization in on this? There's a UN thing, right?
Re: Story Idea
From Persomem Persomem to POMegranate POMegranate Jan 19, 2012 8:12 pm
The WHO and the CDC are pretty genuinely terrifying, so yeah.
Re: Story Idea
From POMegranate POMegranate to Persomem Persomem Jan 19, 2012 8:14 pm
Ah, right! It starts off FBI, and then later they team up with the CDC. Jurisdiction!
Re: Story Idea
From Persomem Persomem to POMegranate POMegranate Jan 19, 2012 8:21 pm
Jurisdiction! I kind of like that. I think Vertigo would publish this as a comic.
