A Search for Balance
Tumblr media
A/N: This story wasn't exactly written for the @hp-12monthsofmagic July challenge but as a bonus chapter to my story A Search for Balance but it didn't make the cut and fit this month quite nicely. Warning: mild spoiler alert to the end of SfB
Summer 1995
The season of 1994/1995 ended in another tremendous success for the Montrose Magpies. Lizzie only remembered the final match against the Appleby Arrows and the days after as a blur, and by the time she had finally recovered from all the celebrations, she was well and truly ready for a break.
She and Orion spent a good deal of their free time travelling. They had just returned to Scotland from a short trip to Jersey, and Lizzie was set to spend another few days of blissful peace with him in Wigtown before the season preparations would start. They had slept in late, and the sun was already streaming through the floor length windows leading into the garden as they sat down for breakfast.
Lizzie sipped on her coffee, watching the man she loved prepare his tea with an absentminded smile on her face. She was broken from her thoughts by a sharp clicking noise coming from the window. Standing up to retrieve the owl post, Lizzie handed Orion his letters and the Daily Prophet, and dove straight into the sports section of the Muggle newspaper Orion was getting for her.
“Can you believe it?” she called out to him without looking up from the article she was reading. “Liverpool signed yet another striker. Soon there won’t be any spaces for defenders at all anymore. Don’t they know? Offence wins matches, defence -”
“- wins championships,” Orion sighed indulgently. “I know. You keep telling me.”
“Well, someone should tell them,” Lizzie wrinkled her nose. “Wait until my mum hears about this.”
She continued commenting on the news, until, eventually, she realised that Orion had fallen silent. Looking up from her paper with a frown, she saw him sitting frozen on the spot, the envelope of the letter he’d been reading lying open in front of him. The broken seal looked strange to Lizzie, embossed with a symbol that looked official but she had never seen before. She let go of the thought, however, when she saw that Orion’s hands were shaking. 
“Captain?” she asked with a frown. “What’s wrong?”
Orion didn’t answer. He was staring at the parchment in his hands, his lips moving ever so slightly as he read the letter again. 
“Orion?” Lizzie asked again, more urgently this time. “What is it? Who’s that letter from?”
Finally, Orion looked up. His eyes were wide, his voice throaty as he spoke.
“It’s a letter from my family.”

I had a lovely two weeks of scripting 🙂🙂🙂
Yes, I lost my mind. Yes, it was mostly missing to begin with so no harm done.
Stuck in a Yandere Visual Novel...HELP!!
As I discussed before, I do my scripting in multiple passes. Though, this time I checked to make sure my staging is good before doing sound bites and audio. I'll admit that it's mostly so I can listen to streams as I go through the rather mindnumbing task. There were 10 files for the main story remaining so I tasked myself to script 2 files per day. Each file varied from as little as 150 lines (like 1 file) to 200 lines (most files) to 300+ lines (1 ending) and completing 2 files/day took about 6-8 hours.
Scripting mistakes result in both above and below. ...This is what I get for calling MC's sprite "mcs" and the male extra sprite "ms" One missing letter gives me a black shadow jumpscare.
Tumblr media
The Side B scripting was a bit forgiving. It's only 28 pages compared to Scenes 5-6's 55 pages. So altogether Side B only took me 2 days for first pass scripting. That gave me time during the rest of the week to draw... new art assets... that I realized I needed during scripting. Some of them weren't required, but I felt would make a scene flow better.
And since I'm an artist?
Of course I did all 19 of them.
Tumblr media
Wait, this wasn't updated- Just trust that I did 19 new image assets, including 3 new sprites 😂
Here are some previews. Is that a familiar character? Maybe~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So yeah, I've coded and scripted in all the new art, but I haven't tested everything yet. I plan to do that when I add in the soundbites.
A Sky of Falling Birds
...Still don't know what sort of visual I want for the game so I just started making sprites and lineart. I might make a demo with just the flat color at this rate tbh.
I got some positive reactions on their sprite sketches, so that makes me shy happy ;//v//;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Peter Pan Project = P^3
Still no title, but I've gotten used to calling it P^3 right now haha.
I didn't get very far with this project in the last 3 weeks, but about a third-half the story is outlined.
The story comes in 2 parts. The first part is 2/3rds outlined (1.7k+ words). The second half of the story is two bullet points lol. Granted, The second half may be a rapid descend to a conclusion. The planning document is already 2.3k+ words, which surprised a few folks...? I think my longest planning document was 11k+ words.
Hopefully next time I update, I'll have more info to share.
[Fan Projects]
Not too much/anything I can show yet as project rules have me not sharing until specific dates. It will be for Ace Attorney and D. Gray Man c:

A Search for Balance
CHAPTER 44: FIRE IN THE SKY
Find the masterlist with all chapters of this story here, the previous chapter here, and the next one here.
Tumblr media
A/N: Katriona Cassiopeia still belongs to @kc-and-co Warning: canon-compliant mentions of violence against minors
The victory party was in full swing, but Orion didn’t feel like celebrating. The high of the match had faded, leaving him feeling strung up and drained from a night of little sleep. 
Ever since Murphy and Katriona had invited him to the World Cup, he had been looking forward to it, yet none of it had turned out like he had expected. In his eagerness to fill the emptiness inside him, he hadn’t questioned what had looked to be an act of generosity, and now he was back where he had begun, his heart filled with a longing for Lizzie that he didn’t know how to deal with. 
Not sharing the high spirits around him, Orion kept to the side of the party. He busied himself watching the fireworks flashing across the sky, nodding at familiar faces as they passed him. Luckily, most of them were too ecstatic to bother him in his gloom; it had been a while since he had seen any of his friends, too, but it was just as well - the party was noisy enough without any of them bothering him on top. 
More out of habit than anything, he scanned the crowd for Lizzie. He found her standing close to the World Cup trophy, talking to a witch covered head to toe in Irish colours. Lizzie seemed to know her because she put a hand on the woman’s arm before suddenly turning to walk away. When she paused abruptly, the Irish witch whispered into her ear before yelling something Orion didn’t understand. Then, she raised her shirt up to her shoulders, flashing the hollering bystanders and vanished into the crowd. 
Shaking his head in astonishment, Orion looked back to where Lizzie had been but found that she had disappeared. When he spotted her again, she was headed for the exit, Skye’s unmistakable blue head right behind her. Then, the two of them were gone. 
Without thinking, Orion made to follow them, but he didn’t make it very far. Katriona materialised by his side, her brows drawn together in an angry frown. 
“What is going on? Why is Lizzie leaving?” She narrowed her eyes at him. “What did you do?”
Orion sighed wearily. “I did nothing, my sweet but quick to judge sister-in-the-stars.”
At that, Katriona blinked. “You didn’t? Why?”
Hadn’t he been so tired and frustrated, Orion would have laughed at the absurdity of her question.
“How can I cause disturbance in waters that I do not go near? I’ve kept my distance from Lizzie since you so kindly abandoned us at the fire yesterday.” 
Katriona tilted her head. “I repeat my question - why?” 
“Because there is no use. Every word we share is another twist of the knife in both our hearts. When Lizzie and I parted, we did so hoping to heal, not cut ourselves even deeper.” 
Katriona snorted. “All I hear is yada yada yada. I thought we were over this - if you want something, you’ll need to go and get it. You want her. She wants you. Wherever is your bloody problem?”
“The problem,” Orion said, irritation rising in his chest,” is that she has left. Lizzie chose to go and stretch her wings, and as much as it pains me that she has flown beyond my reach, I know she deserves it. She earned it. I will not be who keeps her from her destiny.”
“Not that again.”
“Yes, that again. We played with fire, knowing what happens when you hold your hands into a flame. Who are we to complain now that it burns? We were never meant to be. It was a lie we told ourselves because we didn’t want to listen. We should never have put our careers on the line for this fever dream. What have we to show for breaking every single rule I can think of? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.” 
“The rules, the rules, all I hear is the rules,” Katriona answered hotly. “Sod the rules, I say! If they don’t suit you, bend them. You always did. Where’s your creativity gone?” She grabbed Orion by the arm and pulled him toward the exit. “Come on, Lizzie’s hasn’t gone for long. You can still catch her if you hurry.”
Orion spun away from her, his anger at her, which had been simmering beneath the surface since he had seen Lizzie and Skye at their camp, finally spilling over.
“I don’t want to catch her! Don’t you get it? I want to forget her, and you should support me rather than make everything worse. She and I aren’t meant to be - never were and never will be. The sooner you, and I, and everybody else, accept it, the easier it will be to finally move on. Maybe - just maybe - Lizzie and I can both actually be happy for once.” 
Katriona blinked at his sudden outburst, her face illuminated by the green and gold explosives in the sky, but Orion wasn’t done. It was like a dam had broken inside him, all of his frustration spilling from him in a rush of words.
“Every time Lizzie and I try to be together, we part hurting. Every time we try to love each other, we break each other’s hearts. We made our choices - both of us - and all they ever do is lead us away from each other, every single bloody time.”
He took a deep breath, dipping his head back into his neck. His eyes searched the sky, but the stars were eclipsed by the fireworks rising from the tents beyond the party area. When Orion spoke next, he felt light and heavy at the same time.
“It’s time to let her go,” he said, more to himself than to Katriona. “Let her go and be free. Both of us.” 
Katriona’s face was a play of light and shadow as the fireworks flared again, but Orion could see the spark of sympathy in her eyes. She placed her hand on his arm again, lightly this time, but Orion shook her off. He wanted to tell her to, please, leave the matter alone but paused.
All of a sudden, the light seemed to have changed. The sky was still glowing in the distance, but it wasn’t fireworks anymore that were lighting the darkness. It was a flickering orange sheen, which was growing brighter by the minute. Orion thought he could hear the faint noise of thundering, but it didn’t sound like fireworks being set off. 
Slowly, the music began to die as more and more people noticed the change in the air. A murmur rose among the crowd. Suddenly, Murphy was there, reaching for Katriona’s hand with an alarmed look on his painted face. 
“Do you know what’s going on?” he asked, his voice strangely loud in the strained silence. 
Katriona opened her mouth to reply when a new sound cut through the atmosphere that made Orion’s blood run cold.
Screams. 
Sharing a look, the three of them followed the throng of people into the open, where they would be able to see better. They were met with sounds of confusion and panic as witches and wizards darted to and fro, some headed for the woods in the distance, some straight for the cause of the commotion. 
Now that they were outside, Orion could discern a row of cloaked and hooded people in the distance. They were marching in succession, setting tents on fire as they went. They kept their wands raised in front of their faces, hidden by what looked to be silvery masks and joined by a constant stream of equally dressed people coming in from both sides. 
Above them, four shapes were floating through the air. They were weirdly contorted, limbs twitching, and movements too unnatural to appear human. When Katriona realised how small two of the hovering shapes were, she drew a sharp breath. 
“Come on,” she said with a pressed voice. “We need to see if we can help.”
They fought their way through the people running in the opposite direction from them - away from the hooded group of wizards - but soon had to give in to the fact that Murphy had no space to manoeuvre his wheelchair. 
The dark figures had turned from them and were walking in a different direction, but the general commotion seemed to have spread beyond their wake. Emotions both good and bad had been running high over the last couple of hours, and now all of it was breaking ground. Fires were blooming everywhere, the air thick and biting with their smoke, and the sounds of screams and hollering were storming in on Orion from all sides. 
“Let’s go and find a meeting point,” Murphy suggested. He had to shout to be heard above the racket. “Maybe someone will be able to tell us what’s going on.”
Orion was about to agree when the atmosphere abruptly changed. Where everything had been black shadows and flickering flames before, the campsite was suddenly cast into a pale green light. An eerie silence settled over the burning field as hundreds of faces turned skywards. Moments after, screams erupted all around them, followed by the cracks of several people Disapparating in panic. 
Slowly, Orion raised his eyes to the sky. 
“Oh my God,” Katriona whispered next to him. Her voice was hoarse. “It can’t be…” 
She reached for Murphy’s hand, who watched the image of the skull with a snake winding from its gaping mouth with his lips tightly pressed together. He nodded. 
“The Dark Mark.”
Orion was still watching the sign of He Who Must Not Be Named - the symbol the whole wizarding world had hoped to never see again - when a sudden explosion in the distance made them jump. As if the sound had kicked time into motion again, people began to run, away from the fires, the explosions, and the skull in the sky, without looking left or right. Standing completely still amid the people fleeing around them, Katriona turned to Orion. Her face was ghastly pale.
“The explosion,” she said, her blue eyes wide with fear. “That was by our camp, wasn’t it?”
She clapped a hand in front of her mouth.
“That’s where Skye and Lizzie are.”

Tumblr media
This is probably the only art I have to show for the past two weeks so here it is...!
The Beauty Which Only Beast Knows
The script is now done and currently being edited. Unfortunately, we have slipped a bit on the dates we hoped to meet for milestones. I'll probably need to make a new schedule soon.
But, hey... If we take until May to finish, we can submit it for Otome Jam!
Stuck in a Yandere Visual Novel... HELP!!
Okay, I may have dropped the ball on this 💦 I got the script to my editor/proofreader and they did amazing!! They finished reviewing well before the deadline they gave themself, but I didn't realize that lol;; So I could've started scripting a lot earlier, but I didn't;;
I was really hoping to finish the entire project by the end of March, but since March has 3 days left, that probably isn't possible. But, it should be done soon. I just have 20k words to script...
But other than that, all the art has been programmed in! (Until I decide I want more animation during CG moments lol
Tumblr media
Other Fanworks
I won't go into a lot of detail for this, but since it took a lot of my time the past few weeks, I decided to add it here as accomplishments.
(I think I wrote over 10k words in gifts the past couple weeks.)
A Sky of Falling Birds
The script for this has been finished for a while so I thought I'd start making some sketch sprite work for it. I still don't know for sure what sort of visual theme I want to use for the game so I didn't get very far.
[Peter Pan Project]
Perhaps I'm jumping the gun a bit, but since SYVNH is coming to a finish, I started thinking about what future projects to do. This idea was something I came up with on a whim last year and I decided to revisit it to see what I can possibly make out of it.
It'll likely be shorter than SYVNH (read: for my sanity, future me, please make it shorter) and is inspired by Peter Pan. It'll be a BL so we have Wendell as our main character, exploring a fictional Victorian-esque kingdom. I'm still debating on the routes and gameplay.
The visual themes for this project are inspired by Pandora Hearts, D. Gray-Man, and possibly Smokin' Parade.
