So right, there's been some brainstorming for a new mini-series of sorts that I'm interested in starting. For everybody reading It's A Beautiful World, do not fear as that will not change anything regarding its slow-ass monthly release. Now that I calmed the three of you down, I think we need some sexy schoolgirls murdering each other. That's what life needs more of, right?
The name of this particular project as it stands is called My Dear Little Remi. The titular heroine of the story is a small sweet girl named Remilia Delousei. She's enrolled at a boarding school for delinquents. Of course the timid young girl was enrolled there by accident; SHE'S FRENCH, SHE SHOULDN'T BE CAPABLE OF ANYTHING VIOLENT. She's a blonde french girl obsessed with anime and manga who upon transferring schools out of state got accidentally swept into there and now she's terrified every night and day of being in the place. She becomes friends, and soon after falls in love with one of the more popular students at the school. A real stand-up guy in a terrible place. But the truth is, Remi isn't the only one after him.
"BUT DEOXIC, THIS SOUNDS GAY AND STUPID, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WRITING SHIT LIKE THIS?" This is ME we're talking about. Do you really expect this to go a nice and sweet route? Well it sort of does. I'm writing this for a few reasons, though. For one, writing for a female protagonist is something I haven't particularly done or focused on before. It should be an interesting experiment to try out. And more importantly, I want to write something slightly less depressing or heavy like A Beautiful World might be, or some of my later writing pieces. I won't necessarily call it family-friendly, though; this is still very much a dark piece of work you'd come to expect from me.
And here's the hook. Remi is a bubbly and timid girl that doesn't seem to belong there, but in reality she's probably the most dangerous person in that school. She can be a bit... uh... obsessive in her pursuit of the young man that has her heart. Obsessive to the point that when the other girls start playing particularly dirty in keeping her away from him and sabotaging her in some of the cruelest ways possible, she often ends up retaliating in overzealous acts of revenge. Like torturing them or murdering their families. Like a true otaku, she's obsessive, somewhat reclusive, and socially awkward. And she has no capabilities in exercising social restraint. Of course this doesn't necessarily stop her other enemies from fighting back with the same psychotic efficiency she utilizes, so there's a lot of love at this school to be found. Proper use of the word 'antisocial' goes here.
Sweet girl though once you get to know her. And if you don't make her particularly angry.
Absurd humor and almost cartoonish violence are what I want this story to be about. Nothing particularly deep, nothing particularly grand and nothing particularly heavy. Just some light-hearted dark comedy about a sweet girl going through High School, making friends and falling in love. With a lot of nutcases trying to kill each other at the same time.
Expect a prologue of sorts in the next month or so.
