Talk about putting oneself into your characters, huh?

…What? I like redheads.

So, you may have noticed I have the mini-titles going again. This is purely to hearken back to the first Act, and show we're back on Page 1. Sorta.

Act II will NOT be from their point of view.

…Completely.

At any rate… as the Corbeau police chief here looks more like a boat captain than a POLICE captain, I have decided to name him Cpt. Waters.

I'm tempted to make his first name Fischer, or something clever like that. Maybe you can just decide for yourself.

Same with the rookie there. I don't really have a name for him.

Anyway, I hope we all get what's going on here. This is the alley, in the daytime. These are the police. This is the day after the last Scene. They are standing near the body of Melody's teacher.

Who, yes, has a full last name. But I could've sworn I mentioned that earlier…

Her first name is actually after a cute redhead I once dated. For, like, a week. Who, I promise, I have no ill feelings toward. I just reeeally needed a first name for her. And much like Heather, I decided to go for a friend.

Names are so easy when you know people, haha.

I like writing these two already. Unfortunately… I don't like drawing them. Too much work. I'm lazy, you all know this.

I just hope I can keep this up, 'cuz I got a lot more to do with them. =P
