 * resumes violently bouncing around*

That made me feel so much better, I was really, really worried at one point. Also, you call these ramblings? This is a novel, all nicely planned out! I love how you're so organized in your ideas, everything links. I've got Eira in multiple shows/movies, too, but it's all messy and disorganized.

Dang, you're powerful in your stories, aren't you. ^^ I think it's super cool that despite His divinity, Architect has a personality/worries and all that. Gives him a lot more depth, I think.

As for the kidnappers, I'm still not sure what Architect's personality is like. He could give them a swift death, or y'know, drag it out. Reminds me of a part from the Grimm novels where a very-much-not-Wieder Blutbad threatens "We'll be eating you for a long time before we kill you." Rather chilling.

Tell me though, what would Architect do? Certainly not eat them, but would He throw them to something that would? What He does would shape his personality immensely - actions speak volumes louder than words.

Aha, Architect's worked his way into the the Hunger Games too, eh? I love the Hunger Games, read them way before the movies came out. Glad you like it too. Also, Severus Snape, gosh. I'm glad he's not dead in your stories, he's not dead in mine either, when I used to write Harry Potter stories.

Skype's a bit like QQ? I believe that's the Chinese equivalent. Basically a private-ish calling/messaging program, lots easier to use than the Grimm wikia wall messages.

I wouldn't want to bore you with too much about Eira, she's usually only interesting to me, certainly nowhere as interesting as Architect... ^^; She's in many worlds - Doctor Who, Supernatural, Hannibal, etc, but she doesn't have recollection of them? She just kinda exists.

In the Grimm universe, she was born into an infamous Endezeichen Grimm clan, where her mom is the Queen, or leader. As princess, she's expected to uphold the rules of the Grimms, which pains her, because she doesn't like the killing. But she does it all the same, because she was raised this way.

At six, she made friends with a young Blutbad. Neither knew who the other were, until one of Eira's clanmates realised it and tried to kill the Blutbad. The Blutbad, terrified, defends himself and kills the clanmate, traumatising Eira and strengthening her determination to rid the world of Wesen.

Come to think of it, perhaps I've been writing from Eira's perspective too long, maybe that's why I think Nick's going to go down his ancestor's road too. Anyway, eleven years later, Eira is sixteen and sent to Portland on a mission to get rid of the "Blutbad that's been tainting the new Grimm" (Monroe).

In Portland, she meets the Capt'n, who knows she's hiding something. Curious, he gives her a job - she passes the physical test with flying colours and is an excellent detective. She meets Monroe, but is surprised at how sweet he is, and that saves his life.

Eventually the Scooby Gang finds out, and try and help her leave her past behind. The past is hard to change, though, and she slips up sometimes, but she tries really hard, and her training / knowledge of Wesen helps the team a lot. At one point she meets her mom (awkward!) and tries to convince her that the Endezeichen way is wrong. Probably fails, too. I don't know, I'm not at that point yet.

The story just follows her on her journey to change who she was raised to be, and maybe find redemption for all the blood on her hands.

(I feel anxious as heck sharing this much, but I owe you more, especially since you've shared so much with me)

"It killed her, killed her, killed-

The steady mantra pumps in your head, your weary lungs, your pulsing veins. The trees call out your name, and the thing is getting nearer, nearer,  nearer. Scarlet eyes grinning and slitted, it takes a step towards you, brown, tufted fur matted and streaked with gore.

The forest blurs as you scream-

Your eyes fly open. That dream again. The engine in the background whirs, mildly irritating to your sensitive ears.

The people around you show no sign that they heard you say anything, but the screams are still lathered thickly in your skull."

Whoop whoop. A very different story from yours, but I like it. Since I can make up any Wesen and send Eira and the gang to hunt it down, it's really quite entertaining.

Do you know the name of that AC soundtrack that you mentioned? I love the music in that game, though I've never played Brotherhood. And you could make it free-flying, in your story. Perks of being the Core-Designer. ^^

Did you ever decide on the RP / collaborative writing? It's totally okay if you're not comfortable doing that; I understand ^-^ I'd love to see some o' your writings some time, though.
