Spring Waltz: Chapter 3 & 4

Alright so here's the deal. I'm working on chapter 8 right now. It's probably going to be a long chapter. So I've had to broken down the typing into 3 parts. As a result it won't be done for awhile. Not what I anticipated. Plus not to mention I want to right these up!

So after I'm done with each part I'll put an analysis. So once I get chapter 7 up, chapter 8 will be ready to post up on fanfic. Then I'll be all caught up. Yay~ So let's begin!

Chapter 3: Double Take
The way chapter 2 was left off, you'd think Roxas would've sticked around in the morning. But remember it's only Namine who has him badly portrayed as of right now. So therefore he's a gentleman and would not take advantage of her in that way. I loved though making her cautious and having the hungover one search her apartment for no one. HA!

I also loved the dialogue exchanged between Leon and Namine. The way she talks to him, you know they are buddy buddy enough for that kind of conversation. I'm hoping to include Leon more not as something big but just for small tidbits like that.

Having her work at a cafe makes things simple. It allows adding other characters from the game as well as a main gathering point as I have stated before. The cafe centers around the FF7 girls, Tifa, Aerith, and Yuffie. It's nice to see the three work together in that kind of situation I think.

Now with the scene of Larxene, I loathe giving characters last names. Even more so when they are 'Hikari' because that's been used a lot. I try to stay away from that but with this it was a challenge. So with Larxene I just tried to do something different. I got this idea after looking up Ven, Aqua and Terra. Their names mean something in Latin so what I did was looked up what lightning in Latin. I got fulmen. Let's hope google is reliable hehe.

Using various members of the organization for Roxas's company...mmm I just loved it. I love the organization members what with the diverse personality. So Larxene as the snappy secretary and Axel is mentioned as well. More to come of course.

Of course this was where the first major twist in the story was. Roxas told Namine she had mistaken him with his twin Ventus. Bwahaha I love throwing so many characters into this story :D

And at the end Roxas gives us a glimpse of how smooth he can be when talking~

Chapter 4: Despite The Double
Ha love how Namine has a character change around Roxas now. And in the early part of this story I want Roxas to portray the suave rich guy as much as possible. The reason is creating a character with that much composure it's only more interesting to see the development between him and Namine as that foundation begins to crack bit by bit. As to why and what well you'll just have to see.

Roxas does prod a little, but it's not obvious. If you guys didn't notice he was in a way prodding, then I did my job. You have to make it seem as smooth as possible. Wrinkles aren't allowed until later ;] But to make up for that, once again those words of Roxas, oh yeah Namine is right. He is good xD

Cake emergency. The reason for that is like I said using the cafe was good to get things together. Plus it's the one thing that ties the girls together despite everything they go through and the different paths they take in life. It's their escape from reality almost. Except they use it as a chance to face reality together.

After chatting about her twin dilemna Namine has flashbacks/dreams about the man she loved in her yesteryears. She will be doing this periodically because it sort of creates an obstacle for her. Not only does it interfere with her current happiness but it also creates a state of confusion as to why they are reappearing and what exactly triggers it. Plus it allows the readers hints and insight on the pass. As I've said before I really want to play around with foreshadowing. And as a result...

“I thought they were identical? You’re so weird. How would you know if both were standing side by side. You could run up to hug one and it’d be the other. Also, an identical twin doesn’t mean identical personalities you know.”

I can't give much away, but this is a definite sign of foreshadowing. This line is foreshadowing what is to come in much later chapters. If you pick apart each lines I think it's easier to notice these things.
