I think I just gotta start writing the thing, so I'm gonna try to write a bit a day and we'll see how it goes:
Alice wakes up and looks out the window, and... That's weird, it's so much emptier.
Where's the port town facing the sea with their little red roofs and white walls that she can usually see in the distance?
Where are the smoking chimneys of big cargo boats out in the port, made small by the distance?
Where are the cranes, seemingly still ever time she looks, but somehow always hard at work, loading and unloading?
Where is the touch of modernisation?
Out in the distance, all she sees are trees that should not be there and rolling green hills with no roads with people and cars and trucks cutting through them, ever busy.
She opens the window, and the breeze blows in, but it's crisper, fresher, not carrying the smoky tang of vehicles and boats alike, something she never thought of, never noticed until now.
It's quieter too.
There isn't the sound of people and cars and boats in the distance, only the call of birds and the rustling of leaves, so much closer than before.
BANG!
The door startles her and she turns to see Marcus there, panting, anxious, his mouth gaping open, mouthing words he cannot find or voice.
She knows before he speaks what he's going to say.
They aren't in their world anymore.

Let me ramble about all the best parts of yesterday's Ghost concert in Milan:
The. Costumes. Holy shit. I've seen a thousand photos and videos but let me tell you - seeing all those amazing costumes with my own eyes was priceless. The pope ensemble?? The red jacket?? The bat-wing jacket??? THE GHOULS' MASKS????? I can't breathe
Tobias is incredible on the stage. Just... his energy, his charisma, his sense of humour, the way he moves! That man is made of string and I respect that
Copia and the Ghouls kept interacting in such cute funny ways TToTT the Ghouls kept trying to jokingly steal his spotlight with their solos and he would pretend to get so pissed off, just to fist-bump them immediately after... They even had a guitar solo battle while Tobias was changing into his pope outfit...
Seeing Papa Nihil's mummified corpse being wheeled on stage and reanimated in front of 10k people just for him to put on sunglasses and whip out a saxophone and immediately die back into his casket was an Experience. I've never laughed so much at a concert.
Then Copia appeared again and said "did you see my daddy-o? well, back to ME now!"
At the end Copia came out for the encore and he was wearing his sparkly blue jacket and he said "what, you're expecting more songs? why? do ya think this is a show jacket? nope, it's my PAJAMAS and I'm about to go to BED and you should too because it's a SCHOOL NIGHT. shoo. shoo. go home. what? one more song? two more songs? THREE more songs? whelp, three it is!"
He was trying so hard to speak Italian, bless his soul ;o; he said "bellissimo", "magnifico", "sì" (and went on for a while about how "sì" sounds so much better than "no" and had us scream it a few times lol), and for some reason "due" (the number two. but only that.)
"Are you warm enough down there? Yeah? Because things are about to get HOT" *picks up a pair of huge granny underwear someone had thrown on stage, flings it at the nearest Ghoul, and wipes his hand on his trousers*

Make Me Write
Rules: Make a 24-hour poll with the names of your WIPs and then for whichever wins, write one sentence for every vote it gets. (except I'm going to modify the rules a bit and say I'll write 2 sentences for every vote no matter whether it wins or not because I don't anticipate a ton of votes lol)
