The Silent Column (Thread Closed, New Development Blog)

Created a scene which I won't name on here.

In this scene, Tashen talks to a certain character, and they discuss the concept of time travel.
The character says that they used to time travel, and the conversation is perhaps cut short when another character interrupts their discussion.

"Nothing's dark when you time travel! Everything is so bright!
The world, the people, the everything. The darkness gets pushed aside and you feel like there's so much."

Created a scene which I won't name on here.

In this scene, a certain character wants to walk with Tashen alone at night to talk.
They talk about certain events that happened during The End, Thidria, and other things.
They stop walking at a road that has been extremely torn up, with large spikes rising out of the ground made of the street, while being careful not to hurt themselves on the jagged rubble.
After a short time, the certain character wants to walk Tashen all the way home, and he allows this.

Created a scene titled "Inside her mind and soul"

Excerpt:
"She has nothing to be sorry about... it's not her fault at all.
And eventually... she leaves me, and I'm standing in front of a large upside down head... Swirls of images inside its forehead.
I stand there, looking at it for a long time.
And its eyes close softly, no longer penetrating me.
And as they close... I see the mind- the soul- the everything that all those people are being shut up by the door.
As it closes... I watch each glimpse that I can... as it all becomes smaller and smaller and finally shuts.
"..."
A sigh escapes me... and, feeling my gashed side, I turn into the white expanse.
---"

Wrote a rough scene where a certain very important character is drowned by another.
The relief of forgiveness before death for the dead character,
and the torment of having become a murderer for the other character.
It was very sad to write.

Aww thank you (and yes, It's me)
It always makes me happy to see someone being interested and saying such nice things.
It may take a very long time to finish still, but I will finish this some day. Thank you for liking my updates. I'll do my best to keep at it ^^.

Oh, hey, a VN with a character named Amy.
Wait, that isn't the important part, is it? The important part is that it's being made by someone with a Lain avatar-
No, that's not it, either. Ahem.
The story sounds very interesting, like colliding fragments... The characters, too, look like they each have a story to tell.
I'm looking forward to it.

Hee, yes Amy's a common(?), short, and rather pretty name . And I haven't seen Lain for quite a while, I just like this picture. I... tried watching it again relatively recently and I didn't like it nearly as much as I did before... Things like that happen, I suppose.

Yes, Amy has an important part. She's a character- most characters should have important part(s), silly.

I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you very much. It's such a pleasant surprise when I find another fan/another fan finds me.

I wrote about a plot element which effects to many characters and has ties to others, and adds more depth to the story.

I've been thinking about a weapon made by one of the characters and have been writing a scene around it.

Hello again. I've been thinking about and writing my story lately and things are going along well. I've been writing some very basic and rough scenes, and made a coded skeleton structure for a certain section of the story which works.
In this skeleton, there's hardly any meat, hence it being a skeleton, but it itself works which is great, I'll just fill stuff in.
There are so many things that I can do with this story, and it's hard to focus on things for me. But, I guess to an extent that's okay. It is a branching story, after all.
Also, I've been noticing that a lot of the story I've written so far tends to be very quiet and depressing. Of course, that make sense given that the world's ended and everyone will be struggling with a bunch of terrible stuff, but I've been trying to put some more happiness into the story where it feels natural. I mean, it'd be boring for everything to be crappy forever, and eventually, characters will start to feel again.
Some of the happy scenes I've got planned/roughly written are a dance scene between Tashen and Kina, and a particularly lighthearted day where Serra and Tashen show Amy their favorite parts in the city.
Thanks for all of you who are watching my progress.

Wrote a scene in which charters travel from the mainland to the island and explore an underground city.
