ep71 (w32 ep2) A Wonder Of After (630 words)
now we are back with the two of them after the prank. this chapter has a few flashbacks but takes place after the night of the prank with no more moving around the timeline unlike the last few. I wrote this based on a slightly older draft of the last chapter since I did a lot of editing for the previous chapter the night before, I do not think it changes much but I just put here to be safe. The recap is not a perfect summary. there is two story lines going on here so the borrowing storyline was minimised to focus on the prank story line which even was minimise. honestly I am not completely proud of my work with the trash bin storyline reasoning which I will discuss more on the end notes.
previously on the magical generations
Bob drop Arnold's father device on the ground after sneaking it (ep42 (w18 ep2)), Murphy (The recycling plant owner) says to Bob and Newton "can you help me think of a plan to get back at her." (ep50 (w22 ep2)), Poseidon can you help us prank, Bob Poseidon and Newton drive to prank Janets and Arnold's house. let's sneak in, Arnold's dad comes what are you two doing here.
..
In a world where Magic and Science meet. Where the mystical wonder, and tension is always at the surface just waiting to react. The Magical Generations.
Bob is thinking how did everything go so wrong. he went from returning the device to being caught with the device. maybe if he was lucky he would just think he missed placed it and only blame him for the pranks. still that water display was not nicely timed though he definitely talked about it once they were able to escape back to the vehicle.
Flashback scene
after everything they were able to finally sneak away from Arnold's dad rage for ranking the house. he seem to not notice that they would turn the device yet which that better worked according to Bob. none of them knew why Poseidon suddenly began water maneuvering over everything so they definitely had questions when they came back.
Newton says as they go in to the car to Poseidon 'what were you,' before a bob came in saying 'what ,why did begin organizing the liquids or whatever newton wants to call it.' all of a sudden, getting a look from Newton. Poseidon says 'you were taking longer than I suspect of you.' referring to bob experience with pranks as he continued 'I thought you were leaving. you two already seem to check and set up everything from what I can tell I decided to entertain myself finishing the prank instead of dillydallying. I do not know why there was a issue I do not seem to get any on you, looking at the dry clothing.' Bob was angry but Newton spoke 'this was not as it should be, Bob might be being a little ungrateful but that has the potential to cause chaos and get us trapped. Anyhow what is done is done hopefully they get the message that the recycling plant owner Murphy intended.' Bob was grumpy but was not ready to tempt fate as they left.
Flashback over
he hopes Murphy is satisfied with the prank he did on the two places. at least that went well with the exception of course of the water beginning before they left but at least everything was finished. Granted even Poseidon was talking about how clumsy he was and he really wanted Poseidon to be willing to help him prank again after the Digby issues about the coins. (ep58 (w26 ep1) for more) everything better worked, it just better for his sake. if not (which it better) it will reflects badly with his ability to prank and now he might have to deal with the 'consequences' of trying to give Arnold's dad's device 'a new home'. using a tool currently of use of someone else without permission is not well accepted. but he rather focus on the prank then whatever may come since that was something he was told of and is not some mysterious wonder. (1)
on the other hand Newton was thinking that boy Arnold had a weird reaction. A reaction that if he remembered correct usually came from either of those with the ability or have tools with the ability to control certain elements. mostly users that did not expect it. (meaning people who did not know that particular feature of the tool, not surprise attacks) he is familiar with his nephew (2) and he never noticed such a reaction before.
he knows few devices would do such a thing, even though he knows it would be weird for Arnold to already have one knowing his parents hate for them, along with his age. Which makes him wonder if it was his own power like that Poseidon has. but the reaction did not seem like that it came from him but caused by interference. he knows that ship is wandering around all of a sudden appealing after all these years but he really doubts that Arnold would be the one to have it. he is thinking how is this as it should be.
(1) ("mysterious wonder") basically he rather focuses on something that everyone kind of knows or understands probably more accurate. I was going to say agrees on but that was not the right thing since people do not like getting prank. more less controversial but even that was not the right thing because of the recycling portion. basically something at least someone approved of along with a few extra emotional Back-and-forth of device he returned. This was the best phrased and I am sorry I had to just tell,I know that it is not good writing.
(2) (Newton cousin relations) I am trying my best here but most of the websites relate to where they are based on the grandfather relations not a cousin of another person's cousin. I found a site famlii that mentions 'what should I call the son of one of my cousins' and chose that. granted the site said either cousin or niece and nephew so it is what it is.
..
Bob in this chapter was not the best written thing in the world but I think he got the job done. (granted the words "mysterious wonder" is surely up there with unrealistic dialogue and thinking but it was the only thing that was even somewhat close to where I was going) I guess I could have tried to fix more than I did particularly at the end but at the time I finish most of this nothing was coming up. I mostly touched up the flashback with Poseidon which really had uncertain dialogue. The ending was supposed to be slightly grammatically weird and cryptic. Then I remembered people actually know the ship was found and I established that about a year ago so it went from there.
anyhow I am going to be closing down this prank thing within the next 3 to 4 relevant chapters since if I learnt one thing it is do not write what you know (since getting personal is complicated and having stuff related to real things with private people is worse). but also do not at least write what you are unfamiliar with that many people can easily point out and know. and suburban housing is one thing I am not familiar with that many people in my audience possibly will be.
next week on the magical generations
Did anyone drop it, Bob said what do you mean
as the search on magic continues.
