#acrostic

@ceribrennanwrites tagged me for this, so I shall deliver! I have to do the acrostic with the word 'Lucid', and this is my first time ever doing an acrostic (or even hearing of one)... So let's go and do it!

(This is all using lines solely from Chapter 1, the military office visit I recently wrote out. I might do another version comprising all my recent writing for Under the Shade...)

L: Lamps set into the walls spill a soft, warm glow into the room, and the couch is plush and well-proportioned enough to recline into with ease

U: Shockingly, I haven't been able to find a sentence of mine that starts with this letter in the chapter. Utterly confounded here! So have one from another piece

 “Unfortunately, he's too big to shove inside your mug.” She tells me curtly, then walks off.

She didn't disagree that Mortimer is a cockroach though, I idly observe.

C: Clatres Coffee House, near the Academy. It’s popular with the students, though not solely inhabited by them. My best friend very often loves to meet new people and debate them there, lively young fellow he is. 

I: Invisible, non-existent barbs prick against my skin as I gaze up at the Sedernitz Holestein Barracks. A building so big it could only be described as an estate, windowed in the dozens and covered in elaborate brown marble facade that wouldn't look out of place in Allarholde’s city center. At this time of the late afternoon, the streets of this little gated-off Halmish Army compound are relatively empty, save for the scant few guards in bluish-gray making their rounds, rifles slung over shoulders and heads craning out to observe their surroundings ever-vigilantly.

D: Done at the end of each academic trimester, the Quiriums are the largest, and most public tests of arcane merit and ability the Academs can display. It is based on those, in full view of spectators from the royal government, army, industrialists, clergy, scholars, academics, etc, that our scores, and thus rankings are determined.

Yes, as you can tell, my WIP is fucking huge on infodumps, XD.

what do I need to put here? Im far too lazy to make this acrostic 😭

My wedding day was the best day of my life, and I can’t wait for yours.

A loser like that has to be a virgin. No woman would ever fuck him.

That boy over there looks pretty cute, doesn’t he?

Oh, who do you have a crush on?

Nuclear families are the basis of society.

Over twenty and you haven’t had your first kiss?

Romantic love is the strongest bond a person can have.

Men only want one thing. Good luck finding one who can go without it.

Are you straight or gay?

That’s just how women are.

I don’t think you can have sex without falling for the person a little.

Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday. Love makes the world go round!

I felt the same way when I was your age.

That sounds lonely.

RULES: Pick a 5-8 letter word and give an excerpt from your manuscript that begins with each letter. When you’re finished, tag some friends and give them the same word or a word of your choosing.

Thank you @miadearden for the tag! The word is TRIAL… this was fun, ‘R’ was the most difficult. I need to get more creative with my sentences.

These are excerpts from the next chapter of Be With You - Hush

T - "There's an artificial assistant named, Fi who can help you make calls, read your texts, emails, perform web searches, you name it.”

R - Rauru fills the space Sonia has vacated, placing a reassuring arm around Zelda's shoulders.

I - “I play bass. I just spent all my money on the Makar."

A - All while Link's parting words run on repeat, drowning out Provost Shikashi's closing remarks.

L - Link leans against a sink littered with clumps of his hot pink and dark blond hair.

Be With You Chapters One - Seven

Part of this story focuses on Link returning to his roots as a bass guitarist. Muse’s new album The Wow! Signal has been a perfect soundtrack to borrow inspiration from (there are so many tracks that feature killer bass. Chris Wolstenholme has really hit his stride. He composed Hush, and you can tell by the lush bass line.)
