Jul. 17th, 2012 09:12 amBeen meaning to write a post containing the email exchanges I've had with Chelle weeks ago regarding Monster Collection Chronicles. Even though everything after part I is no longer due to happen, and even though my writing skills aren't really gonna improve due to my lack of appreciation for the art of writing (let's remember that I care mostly about the storybuilding aspect), the basis of What Could Have Been is still reason enough to write individual scenes like I've written twice before.
The following scene would take place during part III. For clarification, Mondo, Rokuna, Katsuo, Davis, Drake, Anneth, and Hitomi are in the middle of a snowfield, walking as giants (except for Hitomi, who can't use Growth on her own) towards a cavern at least several hundred yards away from them. Even though they could have just teleported, they chose instead to walk just to relax and enjoy the scenery, and also to be prepared in case more enemies were to appear. The other half of the Knight team is taking care of matters elsewhere.

If you'd like to know, I also toyed with the idea of whatever Anneth did during the aforementioned battle being the reason why Mondo would get brain-raped by a shoggoth, resulting in his senses becoming dysfunctional, and said battle having taken place at least days prior to this scene. Would have given him a good reason to still be mad at her for that long, plus it would involve his eyes looking kinda like this, something which would make for a nice contrast to the much more (and excessively) comical cartoon physics that plagued the anime, for as long as he perceives the world as grotesque (or whenever he does after temporarily recovering for the first time). Decided against it, though, because one, the shoggoth storyline was already reserved for part IV (although I would like to salvage it to use late in Cult), two, that would mean that he'd be unfit to even go on missions (and Rokuna would have to sit out as well in order to take care of him), three, he wouldn't have been able to socialize with his friends as well as he did, being unable to even function properly as a person, and four, to give Anneth as much to atone for as Jamison will have regarding Kevin would mean that she probably would have kept silent in shame anyway.
