Just gonna post some dialogue I thought up for the two protagonists of my novel.

No, this has nothing to do with the story. Londen tapped her desk. "Just slap the folder on the desk, like-" Risinger’s brow raised. "Like in the books?” He shook his head. “No, I am not playing along again." Londen pouted. "But there was that one time you did,” she said, tilting her head, “and it was super fun and awesome of you." Risinger frowned. Londen smiled. "You made an amazing femme fatale." Risinger lightly placed the folder on Londen's desk, before turning and walking towards the door. "I'm leaving." Londen stood up from her seat. "I would've ravaged you on this desk like the dirty 1940s slut you were!"

Memories of Neverland.

A/N: warning reaaaaally long post.

Chapter 1: Economy.

1. 1 The Economy between races: the Kingdoms of the Council and the Era of Attacks.

Although there aren't as much trades nowadays in Neverland, the Kingdoms of the Council (Sirens, Fairies and Lost Kids), have an economy system based on alliances.

These alliances were forged more or less a century ago, when the Council was born due to the almost constant arrival of human visitors. The leaders of each Kingdom met with a representative of The Lost Kids -known back then as The Little Savages according to the archive of Master Arylac- and pacted an alliance based on a traded economy to stand together against the adults menace.

<<...The Queen agreed to Calisipe's call and reunited with him and a Little Savage outside of the Saltflower Hollow. There they stood until dawn, negotiating for a peace contract that would guarantee us the victory against the Amonix [old Neverland Language for "strangers" or "not magical beings"]. When the sun peaked through the Golden Ocean, the Council was formed.>> -Birth of the Council, by Master Arylac. Third year of the Era of Attacks. Translation by unknown.

There aren't a lot of documents that show us how economy between kingdoms worked before the start of the Era of Attacks, and it is believed that the Amonix brought coins as a way of currency. Still, we can today see that fae traded with multiple berries, leaves and parts of animals (such as fur, claws, teeth...); and sirens used Blis Algae for the same purpose.

After the Era of Attacks, the Council reunited again to settle some rules in between kingdoms so that things as economy, language and laws were the same for everyone.

Thanks to a passage in Arylac's personal journal, we know that it happened on Sudh (which corresponds as June in the Human Calendar), although the day is unclear. The meeting was held in the Fae kingdom, and after it, the new economy, law and language was created and adopted.

Here we show you a translated and adapted version to Amonix language of the basic economy postulates that were agreed on by His Majesty of the Sea Calisipe IV, Her Majesty of the Fae Court Selark X and the Representative of The Little Savages, Mildred Ewing I; and that nowadays are still functioning.

The Pact of the Kingdoms of the Council, by Master Arylac.

1. Introduction.

As it has been previously done with Justice and Language, the Kingdoms of the Council have reunited today to discuss the new Economy System between them, as a way to develop closer ties between us and stand united against the Amonix, who plan to attacks us and invade our Land.

With the arrival of The Little Savages came their own way of trading, their foreign words and personal justice, as well as customs, foods and myths. Because we can't let those differences destroy this union, we must create some new rules.

We left written and forever settled in ink and parchment the agreements between His Majesty of the Sea Calisipe IV, Her Majesty of the Fae Court Selark X and Mildred Ewing the First.

2. Between The Borealis Throne [Fae Kingdom] and The Little Savages.

The Little Savages had no material interest our Kingdom could want or need, that is why Gwenllian discarded negotiating with fruits, fish or weaponry.

Instead, she offered the Queen their skill. Even if it's true that Savages -or, as Gwenllian says, Lost Kids- don't count with wings, magic or any other helpful characteristic, the human assured that her people were resilient, fast and not easy to kill.

Millie also talked about the place where they all came from, a city called Londen¹, where lots of its kind needed a place to go, and how she could easily form an army. Millie only needed one thing from the fairies: the ability to fly.

At the end, Millie and Selark agreed on the following statements:

Millie would give the rest of the Kingdoms an army based on kids from ages 5 to 16.

Her Highness Selark must give Millie part of Borealis's fairy dust stash so that she could fly from London and back.

Millie would have to swear loyalty to the rest of the Kingdoms of the Council, since the possibility of her using the dust to escape Neverland existed.

The human also added that no magical creature would interact with any of the human children unless she permitted it: she knew what we were capable of and advised us to stay way from where they had settled down. 3. Between The Jade Reef Empire [Siren Kingdom] and The Borealis Throne.

Selark and Calisipe took the opportunity to reread between their previous agreement and changed some of the points, such as territory (since the Little Savages needed a place to settle down), festivities and changed the value of the currency: now two pieces of Bliss Algae were worth five Glacier Junipers [a/n: Glacier Junipers were really common flowers you could find atop of the Brisnia Peak, where only Fae have access due to their wings and ability to fly. More about them in the Flora section].

4. Between The Little Savages and The Jade Reef Empire.

The Sirens weren't as open as the Fae to negotiate with The Little Savages. Calisipe assured that the Savages were just tiny versions of the Amonix and that they would turn against them as well if only time didn't affect them.

Fortunately, Selark interjected and finally both races agreed to sign. Their bases weren't as attached as the ones between Borealis and the Savages, but as long as they would maintain the peace, it was enough:

Millie and the rest of her kind would stay away from the Silver Moon Lake. If they trespassed Siren territory, Calisipe adverted that his word would mean nothing, and that the sirens there could do whatever they wanted with the foreigners.

At the same time, Calisipe would ban the sirens to sing to attack the Kids to an inevitable death.

1. 2 The Economy of the Amonix.

How the Amonix traded between each other is almost unknown to us except for the counted times one of the Savages decided to infiltrate in between them in order to discover their way of living.

Thanks to the different journals of Savages like Leslie Cadden, Coreen Ames or Jimmie Lyneas, we know that the different tribes of Amonix exchanged some of the following objects:

Jewels: even if these seemed to be worth a lot of value at the beginning of the Era of Attacks, they slowly were forgotten until they meant nothing.

Coins: such as pounds, shinning or pennies.

Food: fruits (like Okotyas or Sea Oromio [to know more about these and other kinds of fruit, please go to the Flora section and look for Fruits and Vegetables]). Apparently these kind of fruits were exotic for the Amonix and they valued them highly.

Lastly we should clarify that nowadays the Amonix economy has been reduced to nothing: Pirates, the only Amonix yet in Neverland do not trade as there is no reason for them to.

¹: Londen is part of the original writing by Arylac, who at the time misspelled the city since it was yet unknown to most of the Fae.

Nu kan ik officieel vertrekken! 🤗

Ik heb vandaag eindelijk de laatste papieren in orde gebracht. Ik kon immers vandaag pas mijn visum gaan ophalen, spannend... het was gelukkig allemaal in orde! 😅Nu is er dus (hopelijk) niets meer dat me nog kan tegenhouden om mijn avontuur in Zuid - Afrika te gaan beleven!

Zondag vertrek ik samen met vier medestudenten, die ondertussen vriendinnen zijn geworden, voor een dikke drie maanden naar Zuid - Afrika. We vliegen via Londen naar Johannesburg, waar onze wegen scheiden. Anouck en Robin vliegen nog door tot Kaapstad en Jessie, Lydia en ik gaan de weg onveilig maken tot Venda. En met onveilig maken, bedoel ik dat we links moeten gaan rijden (wat geen van ons drie al ooit gedaan heeft). Hopelijk komen we dus zonder brokken en stoten aan op de universiteit van Venda! 😅

Wat er ons vanaf dan te wachten staat is één grote verrassing. Ik laat het avontuur gewoon op me afkomen! Veel mensen vragen of ik het nog zie zitten en nog niet teveel zenuwen heb. En verrassend genoeg valt dat heel erg goed mee! De meesten geloven dit natuurlijk niet omdat ik normaal een stresskip ben 😉

De laatste dagen in België zijn nog redelijk druk! Ik moet nog allerlei kleine spulletjes kopen, ik moet nog gaan volleyballen en volleybaltraining gaan geven. Ik moet nog van iedereen afscheid nemen... Als afscheidscadeautje heb ik voor de jongens en meisjes van de volleybal een potlood samen met een gelukspoppetje gegeven. De meisjes die wedstrijd spelen en die ik normaal coach, krijgen zaterdag mijn mascotte nog mee, zodat ze mij niet vergeten 😉 vorige week zaterdag heb ik dan zelf mijn laatste volleybalwedstrijd van het seizoen gespeeld! Na afloop van de wedstrijd hadden we een klein afscheidsfeestje met een dessertenbuffet 😍

Maar goed... Mijn avontuur, lesgeven aan een lagere school, in Zuid - Afrika gaat dus beginnen! Ik kijk er enorm naar uit en als ik goed en wel geïnstalleerd ben, krijgen jullie ook weer een nieuwe blogpost!

Tatta, sien jou later (daag en tot snel)

All Hallows Write

Hey there, it’s that guy who barely posts updates about his novel here. Still in Chapter 6, but in the meantime, I wanted to have a little fun. 

Recently, @skasse made a tag called All Hallows Write, where you take your novel’s cast and answer ten questions that are Halloween related. I saw it through @bellarosepope‘s blog, so her unending enthusiasm influenced me to do this. I saw this as a fun way to actually get you guys to know what my book is about and who makes up the cast.  Apologies if it seems kinda...lacking. I have the characters fairly well fleshed out, but I just don’t want to give away too much. 

The Rules:

#1 – Provide a BRIEF description of your novel before starting. LONDEN JADE is a post-cyberpunk thriller about a newly-made private investigator named Londen Jade Krane, getting her first major case: a missing child. What she initially thinks to be a rather easy case evolves into a manifestation of kidnap, murder, and a child with dangerous potential.  (Literally wrote that on the spot)

#2 – Don’t use the same character for more than 3 answers.

The Questions:

1. It’s Halloween night! What is your protagonist dressed up as?  

Londen isn’t the kind of girl to go with the sexy variations of men’s costumes. She’s a simple lady with simple tastes. She is dressed up as Sherlock Holmes, and has dressed up as him for the past fifteen years. 

2. Who in your cast refuses to dress up and shows up at the Halloween party without a costume?  

Probably the police detective, and Londen’s temporary partner Jensin Risinger. He believes he is too old for that kind of stuff, even when he is faced with a bunch of people around his age dressed up for the occasion. 

3. Which character wears the most outrageous costume, and what would it be?

Royal, the owner of the well renown Hotline Nightclub. She is one to put herself out there like that. She’d wear something 1920′s themed, like a flapper outfit with a low neckline and short skirt. She’d forgo wearing undergarments to feel authentic.  Nobody wants it to be authentic.  

4. On Halloween, werewolves, vampires, and zombies are on the prowl. Which of your characters gets caught in their clutches, and which creature do they subsequently turn into?  

Miriam, the hacker that assists Londen and Jensin. She would be a good vampire, since she doesn’t like going out often. 

5. Who wins the contest for best costume?  

Ross, Londen’s neighbor. This year, he had been really into adding fire aspects into his art, so he created a fire nymph outfit with holographic flames. People stood back, thinking the flames were real. 

6. Who hands out toothbrushes to the trick and treaters?

Jensin. No doubt. He is too responsible and not really that well connected with kids to give them candy. So he just gives them toothbrushes. They’re the cheap vibrating kind, so at least it’s not generic?

7. Which two of your characters decide to pair up and do an angel/devil costume together?

If Jensin decides to dress, it would be him and his boyfriend Nathan. Jensin would be the devil, and Nathan the angel. 

8. Someone is too scared to even attend the Halloween party. Who is it?

Miriam. Poor girl gets shy when there’s too many people. Londen would definitely leave the party to go hang out with her though. 

9. Who overdoses on Halloween candy and ends up sick?

Londen. Skittles are her jam, dude. Unfortunately, they are too much her jam, so she eats a lot of them. Jensin would have to bring her home.  

10. Which character is most likely to place a curse/hex on someone and who would they curse?

Royal would probably be the one that’s into curses. She’d curse Londen. Probably some curse that gets her to somehow fall in love with Royal. Royal really likes Londen.  Too bad she doesn’t return the feelings Tagging:  The only person I know that is writing something would be @officialtrashbin...so it’s gonna be you, girl.
