What are your Merfolk doing today?
I thought I would create this thread as a variant of “What happened in Your Game Today?” Serial and non-serial updates are welcome, but I know that merfolk are in other people’s games. Are they ven...

Well, I've been so busy I haven't even had the chance to begin trying to keep up with the forums, much less focus on writing anything or playing the game. I'll start with writing a teaser for my next update. I need to start somewhere to begin writing again.

Thinking about a Redemption Arc for Damion
I plan on keeping him the Evil Merman everyone loves, but I'm thinking of redirecting his evil schemes to help others. The love shared between Caleb and Damion will likely help Damion find his way back into the light and motivate him to be a better merman.

Who knows what this will mean for Damion's Collection?

He does have his reasons for holding onto some of the things in it.

As for Damion and Kali... well, even a redemption arc won't change what Damion has planned for her. I think Kali thinks of herself as a super villain, but when Damion enters the fray, that's when the boss music will start.
And, Damion has been plotting something for a very long time. And in the present, he's got another minion.

And I actually stumbled onto a couple songs that have helped me think about this potential arc. Lyrics will be in the spoilers.
Angel's Fall by Breaking Benjamin
This song actually could be a song I can imagine Damion singing when he's thinking about a difficult choice. I don't normally imagine my characters singing any songs, but this one actually seemed to fit that.

I don't know what Alex was trying to say to Ember, but both of them walked into Damion's home uninvited.

Angel's Fall by Breaking Benjamin
Spoiler
I try to face the fight within
But it's over
I'm ready for the riot to begin
And surrender
I walked the path that led me to the end
Remember
I'm caught beneath with nothing left to give, forever
When angels fall with broken wings
I can't give up, I can't give in
When all is lost and daylight ends
I'll carry you and we will live forever
Forever
Grey skies will chase the light away
No longer
I fought the fight now only dark remains
Forever
Divided I will stand
And I will let this end
When angels fall with broken wings
I can't give up, I can't give in
When all is lost and daylight ends
I'll carry you and we will live forever
Forever
The sun begins to rise
And wash away the sky
The turning of the tide
Don't leave it all behind
And I will never say goodbye
When angels fall with broken wings
I can't give up, I can't give in
When all is lost and daylight ends
I'll carry you and we will live forever
Forever
Forever
Forever

What About Now by Daughtry
Spoiler
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading
From all the things that we are
Are not saying
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive
The ways I loved you
For all the things that never died
To make it through the night
Love will find you
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace
As shadows fade into the light
I am by your side
Where love will find you
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late
What about now?
Now that we're here
Now that we've come this far
Just hold on
There is nothing to fear
For I am right beside you
For all my life
I am yours
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now?
