Paranoia (Lucie)

I have yet to write anything, or very much talk about my Neverwinter characters. There is 3 of them. Adriana Rownan the orange haired Druid, Kad the warrior, and Lucie Dracond the Half-Drow Assassin and theif.

Lucie had Paranoia, and anxiety, and some other stuff. So here's something from her.

The three of us walk through the forest, it's kind of dark but not too bad. Eventually we come to a clearing in the woods. Adriana scouts around and then says we should make camp here. Is that really a good idea? Wouldn't it be better to, I don't know, keep moving? That way if there is people watching us, I know there are, won't catch us. Kad goes looking for wood and starts a fire in the middle of the camp, and Adriana goes hunting. I rifle through my pack and pull out some supplies, some pots and pans, a skin of water, a Wheatstone and Finaly some traps. Now your probably wondering why do I have traps? Well umm lets just say when your in my line of work you make more then a few enemies. I'm an Assassin, so quick clean in and out and hopefully don't get seen. But even the best screw up. I set up the traps around my bedroll and then place a few at the outskirts of the camp. Adriana comes back with a rabbit and cooks it perfectly. After dinner the other two go to sleep fairly quickly, and now it's just me. I sit on a log near the fire clutching my dagger close to me. It's just me, the darkness, and whatever's in that forest. After what seems like days but was really a few hours and go over to where Kads sleeping and kick him slightly. He opens his eyes and says sleepily "whatda want Luc?" I stand over him "your turn for watch." I say and walk over to my bedroll, he gets up with an exasperated "Fine." And I carefully step to avoid getting my foot cut off, the drop down and fall asleep as best I can, waking with a start every time there's a noise...yay paranoia and anxiety your great for making me fall alseep! Uuuuggghhhhh *falls unconscious*

Lucie you poor child, I'm sorry.

  1. As an author for putting your characters through stuff, or as a person caring about another person?

    1. Both. I care about my characters most of the time and then other times I'm just like "you get death, and you get disabilities, and you get my social anxiety, and you get my depression, and you get to be gay and disowned but awesome anyway, and you...you get ALL OF THE ABOVE!!"

    2. With my characters, I'm like "I'm going to challenge this ideal with this character. They say 'as long as you've haven't killed anyone' a lot. I'm going to insert this character who has and give them complex emotions, desires, and ideologies."

    3. Interesting. My characters can range from a broken family (like Valans or Issy's) to exile or abuse (Sammie, Sarah and Everan) or loneliness or bullying (Xavier, Juliette, Carmen, Lani, Anna)

  2. Anxiety is like having too much caffeine in a bad way.
