And hopefully more than enough prompts to get me through 27 thousand words. Yesterday I said 27 prompts needed, with 1,000 words per prompt; it could also easily be just 18 prompts seeing as how I stretch 1,000 words into 1,500 getting it readable after the write or die logorrhea. shawty.
But it turns out I need 60,000 words and not 30,000. Which is weird because I only need 50,000 words at the end of the month, which means with all this time I've been writing, I've written -10k words. And that is a lot of words to have negative of.
Hold on let me do the math again...
Alright, so I still need less than 3,000 words a day in order to make it, and everything's fine as long as I continue consistently.
I do not know how that happened, with the, 60k words thing. There's 26,000 words to go. More than half a month's writing if we're going a steady pace, but, eh. I've got 27 prompts for a thousand words each; that's more than enough.
- Moone exposed to the magical elements, attacked by Kissifer. Awesome fight! Use geography! Moone realizes how to defeat Kissifer, and they fight their way over to MacBeth.
- flashback to the Dreaded Eye
- College thing. Usenet as it stood in 1992. There is no cabal. The Jewish Pogroms had allowed sectors of the Cabal to grow- give broader historical overview of trend, maybe tie into broader theme of like-minded people get together, all setting up internet stuff.
- Infiltrate base. Framing the action on a rival paramilitary org.
- Flashback: Gef pees on MacBeth. Motorcycle. SUV. Maybe this leads up to the storming of the base? Or a different mission.
- Portal scenes: Unwin transports everyone to Babel. (Moone and SEAMUS going to Djinn world?)
- Goon squad sweeps in- in confusion, though, Moone's boon can activate, and he and Pontifex sweep out of the room, Pontifex grabbing the Mothman suit. They fly away.
- Goon squad, seeing that Unwin had granted Moone some part of his aura, burns Unwin and his entire cell...? But then why would they let Mothman into the summit, if he's burned by this point? Maybe he doesn't get burned???
- How MacBeth did it. The bomb, the gunshot. Framing on Gef was deliberate, Moone would think Gef, everyone else would think Moone. Separates Moone from his entire team when Cloud dies. Does MacBeth not see Moone enlisting Pontifex coming?
- Moone makes his way up the stairs, but is spotted on the mezzanine floor. The suit gets damaged further- he tries to fly in it, down toward the lobby floor off of the balcony, but gets shot down maybe, gliding the rest of the way and ducking away again.
- Runs into Lovecraft somehow. maybe Gef-related; on elevators, goes down shaft instead of going up at first; grabs car, SUV-type maybe Jeep of some form, established from earlier mission, and starts it up.
- SUV drives, crashes, Moone escapes on motorcycle, drives that. Shoots motorcycle at guards, ducks back into the elevator shaft.
- Unwin Pontifex powerup moment. Uses one of his boons to defeat the assassin, who probably flies off of the hovercraft and dies spectacularly.Establish during hovercraft action scene that you can bestow Pontifex's gift off onto others if you have it, though Pontifex had to gift it himself though Moone could have. Pontifex going against Moone's wishes, real inkling that Pontifex is a danger.
- Give the pontifex more lengthy lectures on mythology as part of his character. Scene of Pontifex telling Moone the truth of a particular human myth to show his connection to world, prior to sexy werewolf scene where the truth about werewolves is revealed.
- Some solid scene of the Pontifex actually having to fight himself to keep himself from destroying Moone. Pontifex tricksterizes.
- The Poker Game!
- Team making their way through the labyrinth. Unwin's men have part in it, but not in heist itself. Maybe have a few close calls with guards down in these depths. Come up with a way to solve the guard problem.
- Two groups' heist plans: explain each.
- Maybe something about the tooth fairy himself coming down into the vault now. Maybe just a guard. They must surely realize that the air circulation is down as well. Gef has to reinstate it briefly? That would start kicking up the cold iron again...
- Two assassins; Slice hangs back while Slit attacks. Shapeshifter and everyone are pushed back (MacBeth's plans working against Brotherhood?), Moone fights assassin one-on-one.Boon torn off, Moone seeing more into the mechanics of how it works. Weird interaction between the team members' boons and the antimagical properties of the cold iron still swirling in the air in the sanctum sanctorum. Everyone's auras come into play, even Xemf's, which is surprisingly powerful.
- Fight against Xemf: Moone has Gef reinstate the security system, fighting above the pressure sensitive floor; Kissifer comes back into play and Xemf levitates over the floor, fighting, the walls beginning to bleed, Kissifer's strength combining with that of Xemf's. Exorcism plan B, there's that trap activated from the pressure sensitive floor, trapping Kissifer, allowing something. Xemf and Moone now fight on level, upper area of vault, in front of vault doors, perhaps teammates also trying to assist.
- NOC list's backstory, or what Xemf is planning on doing with the list, Athena powers with NOC list equals not good. Moone explains the whole thing. And how he figured it out (there'd be forshadowing.)
- Characterization with Unwin's men. Each gets some, even Larry.
- Highway fight, swarms of baddies, turn them against each other to take out Slice. With boon back, dodges Kissifer himself. Demon dealt with (trapped back in phylactery?) Moone is victorious, and maybe uses Slice's spring-heels to travel back quickly to the Acropolis.
- Dreaming: climactic battle, or something more cloak-and-dagger? Xemf is defeated; Moone makes out with the NOC list. Something about Gaia, tie to Cloud.
- More weird dreamtime stuff. Whatever gets the pacing of the book to work, after so many climactic fights in a row like that.
- FBI (Unwin) investigating Moone for Iran-Contra work flashback, Moone learning Unwin's tradecraft. History with djinn brought up? Or is that a secret which Moone uses?
If TETRAGRAMMATON and DoD are different, why is their SUV in the parking garage of a different agency entirely? URGH the whole sitch there is messed up.
