i noticed something. nearly every time i have a muse pop into existence, they adopt some already existing story from when i was a kid, or in some cases, high school. except:
Laguna- movie director! i swear, he drags out other muses that have fallen asleep, or i'd forgotten existed, and tries to kick-start them, or make them act out warped fairy tales.
ie, i was reading random fairy tales and I saw a little bitty one that i liked about a wolf maiden. she could take off her skin to look human; then she'd lure people into this -mill house, i think, it had a waterwheel- and eat them. guy comes along and nails the skin down so she can't turn into a wolf, and marries her. (b*st*rd. sick one, too-i mean, why would you want to marry someone who just as soon eat you?) anyway, they have a son, and one day she tells him all about it, and he tricks dad into telling him where the skin is, and sets his mom free.
yay!
Laguna- what about the kid?
me- what?
Laguna- what about the kid? wouldn't he be-i don't know, a werewolf or something? maybe run off with his mom? ooh, or maybe he stayed behind to kill 'dad' for her and then ran off... (frowns, thinking) i wonder who could play this... (wanders off to pester other muses)
or Snape- who organizes things. for no apparent reason. except that even though i've never actually heard him talk, he still conveys the opinion that my head is too unorganized for his taste quite well.
and i just realized that he's the only one Laguna has not tried to recruit for anything yet. gee, i wonder why?
