To call them something other than POV 1 2 and 3 I’ve started calling them by group names lol, kind of weird but I’ve been using the kind of things you normally see in fandoms, duos and trios and whatnot. Once again kind of weird, but it makes things easier on my part.

I ended up deciding to add a third character to the Bench group, I had been going back and forth on them because they were so fuzzy in my brain but I figured Jennifer and Monica needed an adult in their lives. I found it funny though if they are seen as someone who should be the responsible adult for those two rowdy teenagers, but in reality they are just as rowdy as them, and actually encourages the behavior. Honestly Monica’s probably the only one with a braincell in the group, her and their miniature greyhound Doofus (yes that’s his name, but they normally call him Doof, Oofie, or little man), actually Doof probably has negative braincells 50% of the time.

The adult’s name is Reese ‘Halloway’ Wesforn, she’s Jennifer’s cousin, and also the engineer of the place; though her deceased husband was the one who actually invented half the stuff; Reese just knows enough to keep things running.

I’ve been calling them Rusty Bench Trio lol, easier to remember then POV 3 but quicker than saying Jennifer Monica and Reese’s group. Yes technically Bench group is quickest, but Rusty Bench trio has more character. So there.

Sonny’s group is called Weather trio, you get to guess why lol

Found out that Monica shares a surname with a US President, so I’m going to change it, just cause it otherwise just seems a bit weird to me.

Old:

Monica McKinley 

New:

Monica Kennith?

Monica Killian

Chosen:

Monica McKillian

I’ve decided to fully embrace funny names for places like the Fishbowl, the Bench and whatnot.

Another one I’m thinking about is (I think my train of thought left in this moment, I have no idea what I was going to say)

I think I’ve decided that Sonny is the Mayor’s kid. I don’t know how orphanages normally work but I figure the kids don’t normally get to go out that often, let alone by themselves, and I’ve imagined Sonny being very close to a lot of the people he sees in his life, just a very outgoing kid; to the point where he might as well be raised by the entire sector. Maybe he did get out at some point and the Mayor took enough of a liking to him that she decided to adopt him. Plus then it makes sense with his close connection to the triplets (Mayor Amberose’s other adopted kids), because he sleeps in the same area that they do.

Mark and Colin have a big creature that travels with them. I don’t know what I want it to look like right now but I know I want it to be big, and sometimes they ride on it. It might straight up be a Griffin, whether I’ll call it that idk, but I’ve always wanted to make a kind of ‘snowy owl+ tiger’ creature, so maybe I can do that while adding a few of my own changes. Honestly I’ll probably call it something different than a Griffin because hearing that just makes me think of medieval fantasy.

It might not even have wings so I doubt that’d even qualify it as a Griffin anyway, idk.

I know that I want Jennifer to be a very loud and random girl, very outgoing, honestly like a different flavor of Silvie if you know which oc I’m referring to, I guess you make enough characters and that just starts to happen. Either way Monica’s probably going to be the more serious one of their duo to balance them out, but I want her to be someone who is still just as likely to join in on Jennifer’s shenanigans, it’s just that Monica knows how to be ‘normal’ when it’s needed. I just can’t imagine her not being kind of a Dork when she was raised with and by two very dorky people.

Ooh, I just thought of a name for another possible place, it may or may not happen, but calling a place Parachute might be a cool thing to consider, maybe it could be like a giant marketplace or something.

Outsiders call those who live at the Fishbowl ‘Fish,’ (for obvious reasons) but also because of the bubbles they wear over their heads when they go out. It’s also generally used as an insult, where an outsider will call someone a ‘Fish’ if they think that person is acting weak or dumb, among other things.

I’m wondering if I should call the place that the Bench is at the Sandbox, but then I’d be tempted to call the mechanism around there the Swing Set or something, and while I am enjoying these funny names, I don’t want the entire world to sound childish. Better to keep the funny names to specific buildings rather than actual parts of the landscape I think.

Maybe the mechanism can be the thing called Parachute, cuz I do really wanna call something that, and I feel it fits enough, though it wouldn’t be as colorful as I imagined something called Parachute would be.

The mechanism is something I’m struggling with, not because of what it does, but because of my own brain claiming it’s not realistic when I’m trying to create a world that does not contain realistic things, like this place has a walkable see through path, get over it.

The mechanism is something Reese’s husband created, it was his life’s work and why the only living space they had was a small bunker, all their materials went elsewhere. The world they live in, while I call it Solarpunk, isn’t completely Solarpunk, it’s more so based off of Solarpunk ideals, if that makes sense. It is a world that has for the most part abandoned fossil fuels, for one thing, except for the desert area, which is now a wasteland. (Like most of my desert areas in fiction…)
