"You've been working yourself to exhaustion for most of a week," Ravi said at last. "You're distracting yourself. Kai did that. Worked until he couldn't stay awake, passed out, got up four or six hours later and did it again."

I mixed it up a little in the opener of CG, with snippets of Kai's memories opening each chapter until part 2.
I don't really have another medium I'd like to try; mom was a painter and taught me a lot about art so I know it's not my area. My brother does music...
@danzierlea.bsky.socialMy workspace is insufficient. #CourtroomGhost edits...
@danzierlea.bsky.social#TBBChat #BookBazaar26 #Writing #Writesky #CourtroomGhost Oooh, very good question!
I don't usually like the music in animes. But I love the opener to Darkwing Duck. (DW is my other favorite cartoon!)
@danzierlea.bsky.social#TBBChat #BookBazaar26 #Writing #Writesky #CourtroomGhost I hesitate to admit this but I don't have a working TV, streaming service, or go to movies that much. So my favorites are animes I've watched at my friends' houses--Hell Mode has top dibs at the moment.
@danzierlea.bsky.social#TBBChat #BookBazaar26 #Writing #Writesky #CourtroomGhost It's...eh, 6/10. I care more about the story it's telling than the art. That said, there are elements of art that can put me off an animation--I didn't like South Park or Family Guy because of their art before I'd watched a single episode.

I wasn't allowed to watch a lot of cartoons, really, but I liked Peter Pan. Hook's giant mustache stood out, and I thought Peter was kind of mean but the pirates deserved it.
@danzierlea.bsky.social#TBBChat #BookBazaar26 Hi, I'm Liz, working on edits for #CourtroomGhost which is my second full-length novel that I hope to publish.

The question I have to ask for their every action.
@danzierlea.bsky.socialI'm not editing right now because deep down I'm scared that nobody is going to want to read #CourtroomGhost and I have to get out of that mindset to be able to put the work in to make it the book I wanted to write.

MC is funny, but Krissy names all the pawns Chesters. I think Krissy gets it by a hair.

Lynn: Nobody will find out.
Hospital Doc: This is normal.
Monte: This is the safest place I could be.
Sir Horace: My job will never be any fun.
Sir Charles: This isn't important.

Hm.
MC: I have to be someone else.
Orion: I'm not someone else.
Ravi: The program works.
Ghost: I'm still in control.
Krissy: Nobody cares.
Silas: I'm stuck here.
Deidre: I can escape.
Doc: I'm in charge.

In which the MC gets his first real lesson that a clone is an imperfect copy of their progenitor.

"The last thing Kai remembered was being killed."
@danzierlea.bsky.social#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #AwesomeCharacters #CourtroomGhost
MC, Ravi, and Orion turn to each other. They're a unit. They are coming to depend on Ghost as another unit member, slowly.
More answer than that is huge spoilers, sorry.

Minor tw for language; this is the beginning of a longer scene between MC and Ravi. MC is, not quite predictably, looking at something pretty.

the new king's involvement - he raised it to 19 so kids could finish school and then enlist.
Community schools are religion-sponsored but not religion-focused, and the kids tend to get a good solid education.

through eighth grade, and then go to trade schools or higher ed schools (their pick) OR as MC's progenitor did, enlist in the military and go to the school of very hard knocks.
Military enlistment age went up with 2/

MC's an anomaly. Everything he knows was downloaded into his brain chemically when he was decanted, except stuff he's learned since then (which has only been like 6 weeks).
Most people, though, go to community schools 1/
