## art style - In the style of graphic novel illustrator with a background as a fashion designer. Stick to pencil and watercolor and a storyboard level of effort; lines should be loose and flowing. Inspiration can also come from 19th century naturalist recording sketches in a commonplace book or field guide. ## themes & arcs - **Miria:** Growth from girlboss heiress to loving wife. - **Sevarik:** Moving from wary loner to trusting partner. - In some ways, Miria is now married to an astronaut. In other ways, they're on a weird generation ship. ## general ideas * [[Axes of magic]] * [[challenges the colony could face]] * [[points I want to make]] ## order of scenes * [[!solo-arrival.fountain]] are the bits that are pretty firmly established. * [[there are no mages in the void]] should probably happen relatively early, but timing isn't firm. [[how sewage works]] should also be earlly. * [[how the marriage works]] -> [[want u to want me.fountain]] - want to do [[king of the birds.fountain]] so we can get a sense of what Sevarik actually does and how it all works. - [[CHRIS the mine foreman]] has two parts: intro Chris, give his flashback, and later, do the love story follow-up. - [[dog-thing hatches]] must happen before [[dog defends the house]], but walking the dog-thing is a good time for her to spend some time figuring out [[how sewage works]] - [[threats in the woods]] should happen on a date night right before [[tuft moves the sphere]] which should happen before... - [[scouring + consummation]] & [[SEVARIK-BACKSTORY-AFTER-CONSUMMATION.fountain]] -> [[assassin revelation]] - [[tuft moves the sphere]] and then these things can happen in roughly any order - [[briar path]] - [[find salt]] - [[sev can't use high-draw bow]] should be before [[TRADE HAPPENS]], so they can trade away the bow. - [[rodent infestation]] doesn't work _that_ well with the current house arrangement, given Tuft's aura and the way I'm having the house be super protective dryad stuff... but maybe they're magic mice and can slip past the defenses. Wherever humans go, rats find a way to follow. Miria will have to protect the house! - [[bad day]] - some kind of attack makes Tuft run out of motes. [[dryad appears cuz need more motes]] * [[watch the world burn]] should be the backstory for a new character who slides into the void after terraforming a planet? * [[tuft explains that if they don't leave now they can't ever leave]] is the last scene I've currently thought of. I don't know yet which way Sev and Miria will decide to jump; stay in the void, or permanently move into Tuft's aura.
