Chapter 4 : Dramtic Ironry

This is the SGI logo, it comes up in this chapter
Chapter 3
 
I've been holding on to this chapter for so long. When Zendaya's Replay was on the top 40 I heard it and was like this is perfect. The last part of this chapter with Sera and Paris was written early on, because I needed to practice writing scenes with them alone together. Also Sera's outfit is based on something Miranda Kerr wore on Spanish Elle

Transfer

So I've been transferring all of my drafts back to a word based program. I'd been experimented on different platforms and now I'm back to Word. It's going to be strange because I do a lot of fragment writing and I'll change contexts or add in different plot points on a whim and not have to hit that official almighty "Save" button. I just hope I keep organized..

I've Got The Music In Me

I'm proud of myself because I'm starting to organize my music and taking notes of what songs will go with what portions. This is something I haven't done since LL. I'm a little scared of what little outlining I've done.  Anywho, The music gods have answered my called  I'm excited for future chapters.

Chapter 4
Sera is out to prove her loyalty to the Brotherhood, meanwhile Ariel is trying to hold it together after causing the death of Hippolyta and losing Sera as a friend.

I think I may have picked up some Sunday-spiration in this chapter. Just a little.

  1. I totally picked up the Sundays vibe in this with Helios being all drill-sargeant-y. A similar scene is actually going to come up pretty soon in a chapter of Compulsion, except less detailed. Oh, the Lile-SH paradox line.

  2. So, are the male angels enduaranace any different from a human man ? Like, can they handle more ?

    1. They can handle a lot more than humans, but not what Helios dishes at them (for example in Lux Sera jumps of an eight story building and lands just fine.)

  3. Aria is making me so sad ):

    1. I can’t believe Leon is being such a deadbeat to Aria. You'd think his instinct to protect and be with his child at the least.

      Delete

    2. Speaking of which, does Helios want to get Sera pregnant ? I mean if they do it so often isn’t he curious why she hasn’t even had a false alarm.

      Delete

    3. Well, she’s on steroids right ? That does things to your hormones.

      Delete
    4. @sugarcookie - This is tricky because Leon isn't trying to be a deabeat, it's just he's really uncomfortable with the whole thing and doesn't know how to act. Which is exaclty what deadbeats do. He does care which is why he protects her during the attack.

      @Bostongirl - Helios does want this, and he is starting to get curious

      @June - She's not on steriods anymore, and even if she was the Birth Control would probably reverse the effect.

  4. So, only some of the girls live in Helios’s mansion or is it just Sera ? Or just his favorites ?

    1. Sera is the only girl in the main son. His mainsion is for SGI only, but in an earlier chapter it's mentioned in passing that Helios might be up to offering Ariel one.

      Delete
  5. Does Ariel not know what a gun is ? Is that why she called the weapons scary weapons ?

    1. She knows, she's just being. . . what's the word ? Precocious . Buffy speak ?

  6. OH HELIOS YOU COCKBLOCK !!! I was solidly Parisobel, but something about the chemistry between Pariphina is electric.

  7. That Miranda Kerr outfit just screams paranormal / urban fantasy heroine. It's like she knows.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes ! And on the cover she’s had the SGI logo as a tramp stamp

      Delete
    2. Lol. I can't beat the awesomness of having Rhett, Corrine and Alex in one film ):

  8. Wait...the handyman ? Who is this handyman ? There is a story there isn't there ?

  9. "The fuck was that ?", he said

    "Somalia all over again."she says.

    I don’t get this reference ? Like the Somolian war ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. So SGI did a thing in Somalia. You are never going to find out what it is because it is Top Secret. Along with other things they have done in war-torn countries.

      Delete

  10. I do kind of wonder if once all the betrayl, high stakes and war is over if Pariphina even really love each other ? Maybe it’s just physical ? Or a way for them to cope with what is going on.

  11. I need a detailed version of the scene with Anne and the police. I mean those officers must have had ALL the questions ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. They did and Anne is very used to having to make up stories to cover. I'm sure the intimidating SGI didn't help

      Delete
  12. How does Aria know she’s having a girl...wait is there a female angel version of Damien ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I hope she is, I bet if its a boy it will have to be SGI

      Delete
    2. @Holly_Day - It's a girl. They already know. Anne has a doctor she pays to look after the girls.

  13. Theories on what Helios wants ? I’m guessing it’s not good.

    Replies
    1. To knock Paris around a bit ?

      Delete
    2. That and then some. . . he wants something

      Delete
  14. Didn’t Sera realize this was going to blowback on the demons ? She should have done something more sly like give them all food poisoning or something.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. They told her to do it. . . so she did. Well Callum did anyway and he is very impuslive. This comes up later.

      It was stated in the prvious chapter that they needed to get rid of Helios' weapons, so he would be less powerful. In Section when Isobel and Paris are kidnapped they are thrown in a trunk with stockpiles of weapons, which is why they know where he keeps the weapons and decide on this course of action.

  15. I am so pumped for the new music, it’s really been amazing so far between the JVM in this chapter and Replay (which is no my jam) in the last chapter fit perfectly.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I stole JVM from SHV. I had no idea who he was. I like that Replay has a lot of Remixes

      Delete
  16. No lie, I did think it was going to be Isobel walking into the sewing shop

    ReplyDelete

    1. Lol, "no lie" sounds like don't lie, I didn't do that on purpose.

  17. Okay, so during the fire I was like:

    Ariel: My picture of Caden is going to be destroyed
    Me Being a Sardonic SOB: I mean...Facebook.

    ReplyDelete

  18. I feel like Titus and Callum would have a lot to talk about, since they seem to begrudgingly follow their leaders and hate everyone.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes they would except in my mind Callum is kind of a softee deep deep down inside.

  19. Are all of the LiLe serials written from different pieces like this one ? Something about these Bellum II chapters feels slightly...disjointed ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. So far this is the only one. I think it may have to do with writing several small arcs instead of one big one. The entire Bellum section 1 is leading up to Sera/Paris getting together. These Arcs add up to 2 or 3 things.

  20. I’m not sure who I feel worse for, Troy or Aria ? Or myself for imaginging Troy as Zac Efron because of high school musical.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It doesn’t help Lile referenced you are the music in me in the blog post...

      Delete
    2. Okay, I just listened to You Are The Music in Me and it is such a Parisobel song ! #IWillGoDownWithThisShip

      Delete
    3. I just hope this serial ends with the Angels and Demons singing All For One

      Delete
    4. I didn't want to use the name Troy but it's such a Greek name how could I not ? Don't worry he dead though.

      I do know what the last song will be. Sadly it's not from HSM

      Delete
  21. I loved learning about the younger SGI, I can't imagine their lives would be very easy since they can't really fit in anywhere.

    1. Maybe some Ariel/Troy on the horizon ? Y/Y ?

    2. . . .I feel bad for my earlier comment, but he died.
