The Tragedy of Fiona

posted by Ginger at 10:54 PM, August 06, 2004 | Filed under : NPCs | Comments and Followups

This current scene with Fiona, Dworkin, and Brennan has been very tough to write. In addition to the challenge of keeping it out of the pits of angst, we’re trying to deal with what it means for Fiona to have chosen the course of action that cost the lives of Brand and Oberon and resulted in the maiming of Dworkin and the change in the balance of the universe.

Bleys, for a variety of reasons, is better-adjusted and more capable of handling what happened. Fiona is a bit less resilient. What they did was horrific, and she’s the survivor with the greatest responsibility. It’s sort of like “what happens when Galadriel takes the One Ring?”. Getting over it is not trivial.

It ain't easy on Brennan's and my side, either. The GM's know this directly, but I'm just sayin'.

Angst isn't really in Brennan's nature, but all things considered, he's a lot less proud of himself than he was a week ago.

It's only hard if she loved them. [snort]
