I'm having difficulty thinking this up. I can't write the story until the plot is airtight.

How about we stay with the original note idea? Saul could wear a ring with the emblem on it, and it could be used to seal the envelope shut after being dipped in red wax.

Then the only thing we need to figure out is exactly what the letter says.

Right. I've been waiting for you guys to show up.

To show up in this thread, you mean?

Well, we're here now. No need to fret.

But you saw what I came up with for the letter: it was terrible!

Oh...I think an emblem is a cool idea. Then it could lead to a mini-mystery of some sort. Maybe it is some kind of symbol standing for his group--I went through the previous posts and saw that symbol you posted, Louisa. Something like that would be cool. You could insert the symbol into your section, or a picture, if you go with a physical symbol, like Tourterelle suggested.

Hmm...you guys have got me thinking.

By the way, is it just me or has the number of trolls on Y!A B&A increased? I just dealt with one named "Mrs. Edward Cullen". LOL!

I will send you a PM about the last statement.

Okay, so what's been going on here? I actually woke up at 2:15 pm today, so I missed your conversation. So Louisa is writing the next part? Yeah, we've established a pattern.

Hey, Zara. You think you could help us out? So I'm writing the part where Arabelle wakes up in Pearl's house, reads the note and then meets Wyatt while she takes a walk. Me and Tourterelle are deciding whether to make a note or an emblem left by Saul as the "evidence."

It could be something physical too like in Inkheart, with the dead rooster.

This could be their emblem. Just an idea.

What is that even from?

My friend designed it. He never got around to use it, though. It was hard to find; I had to scrounge around my folders.

It's well done, anyway.

Hey, guys. I read your parts and loved it. How's the plot coming? I haven't been on for hours because I was...traveling around Canada.

Thanks!

Plot's coming around, actually. Next part up is Arabelle waking up in Pearl's home, opening the letter, and later meeting with Wyatt after he comes to call.

Do you want to write this part, then? We seem to have that pattern going.

Ah, okay. I was a little confused about Arabelle waking up in Pearl's home. So she fell asleep in the carriage and Pearl had someone bring her up to her room, or something? But then why would Saul place the letter in Pearl's home instead of Arabelle's? And how will I make Wyatt and Arabelle meet?

Well, maybe Arabelle could enter the house, then go straight to bed by herself?

As for the letter, she already pocketed it at the scene of the crime. And Wyatt and Arabelle meeting; well, you could do that however you want, I suppose! I thought perhaps he could come to Pearl's house by himself to meet her there.

I was thinking that maybe Arabelle would decide to go for a walk to clear her head and think things through when she meets Wyatt along the way. Then they could talk more properly as they walk. Um, what do you think?

That works!

She would probably have to sneak out though to avoid going with a chaperone, right?

That's what I was thinking. Then in the end I would make Pearl become mother and scold Arabelle for sneaking out.

As for the note. It's this, right?

Arabelle Marsh:

Your father's crimes were unforgivable, and we have therefore killed him. Be forewarned: You are next.

Excuse me for laughing, but...

I told you it was horrible!

Okay okay, don't use it.

No, it's okay. We'll just edit that later. It's just the "we have therefore killed him" that sounds...weird.

It sounds weird because it's SO cheesy.

You're right, it was really bad. Let's think of a new note, or just a symbol.

I remember in a Nancy Drew book, the evil guy left a symbol, like an emblem of three branches intertwined. Maybe we could make an emblem like that? Problem is, we don't have a group name for Saul yet so we can't make the emblem, too.

Exactly! Um, I still like Assemblage of ______

We just need to fill in that blank.

What's your idea for the note, then?


Maybe instead of the note, we could have some sort of symbol left? That seems more like Saul's style.

When I was younger there was this YA series, and the evil group left a hand print dipped in red blood on their victims or at the scene of the crime. We could do a symbol like that.
