Today I coded
my video game character doing an idle animation(what she does when she's
standing in place, since y'know people don't freeze like statues when
they're not doing anything) It's not the final version but it's good
for getting a feel of how many frames I should draw for things. The
funny part is that it was really easy to speed up, so I make it many
times faster and it was like she just drank fifteen cups of coffee.
Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Legally
Distinct
“Now Bike,
you're not the only one with your problem. A lot of characters go
through what you're going through, and I'm going to help you like
I've helped them,” said editor Janice Glade to Bike Tysun, the
legally distinct parody character that was going to appear in the novel that
her publishing house was going to release.
Bike told her,
“I know but, just because Lance Groundwalker managed to do it
doesn't mean I can.”
The editor then
said, “I know you can fulfill your role Bike.”
“But I'm not
like other characters!” The legally distinct Tysun shook his boxing
gloves while clenching his teeth, every single one in place, unlike a
possible hypothetical boxer that may have lost theirs. “Other
protagonists, ones that aren't just legally distinct parodies, have
their own identities, lives and everything. I'm not unique. I'm a
clone of someone. I want my story to be only my story.”
The editor put
her hand on the muscular man's shoulder like a mother would a child
and told him, “But it is your own story. Your just being born from
a different place. Any author gets their ideas from somewhere. You're
an evolution. Legally distinct characters are just that, legally
distinct. Now go, live out your distinct story, and your distinct
life.”
A small tear
formed in Bike's eye, almost microscopic. After it made it's way down
his face he accepted the editor's words and himself and vanished into
his story, ready to act it out for all those that would read it.
