Forty-four || Operation Metal Whale

Hey guys! How are you?

Okay, so sorry about that little pseudo update yesterday. Apparently Wattpad moved the publish button to where the save button used to be on the app, and I pressed it our of habit because I write stuff in my notes on my iPod sometimes and then I have to transfer it to a Word doc and then paste it back into my drafts because I don't trust Wattpad to save my chapter sooOOOOOoooooo...yeah. That's the story.

Anyway, just FYI, because I get a lot of "where's _____?" comments, just because I don't reference a character in a specific paragraph doesn't mean they're not there. Just because you don't acknowledge the sun every time you say it's a nice day out doesn't mean the death orb isn't there in the sky. Or just because you point to the Big Dipper but don't happen to mention Orion the Hunter, that doesn't mean my old buddy isn't up there in the sky. I mean, I kinda screwed up and made a butt load of characters to keep track off, but you know, I like having a fictional army in my arsenal. Anyway, just because I've said that Terra is whacking Jensen for swearing but haven't said anything about Joseph or Kate doesn't mean they've died. Because really, they're extras, but I'd at least give them obituaries and take the opportunity to add drama.

So that's that.

ALSO OKAY I NEED YOU TO READ THIS ALRIGHTY HERE WE GO anyway so I was wondering if you guys wanted a character reference thing, like a chapter that I would put up in the LNF book (which I've been meaning to update, I will, don't worry). So it wouldn't be a cast list, but it might have some actor references (idk about that, thoughts?) but it would basically name the character, element/power, appearance, height, general background etc. So, for example, you'd have Terra Abigail Davis: Earth Elemental - rock manipulation, earthquakes, etc., 5'5", straight shoulder length russet brown hair, a nice, rich, ochre skin color and redwood eyes. Found and adopted by Leslie Karen Davis, an artist who homeschooled Terra in Bodega Bay until she was taken by the government when she was twelve. She escaped with Breeze a year later, where they survived for another year wandering around until meeting Tide.

Now, it would be more organized and whatnot, and I was going to try and improve the original descriptions, but I don't want to make you go on some sort of scavenger hunt to find them. Anyway, thoughts? (Also I'd like to give a shoutout to all you guys who answer, because you're great and I love your input and just keep being fabulous, okay?)

So, that's it for now. Dedication goes to AmidTheFallingSnow, because 1) username goals, and 2) I just really appreciate comments like theirs and they make me so happy that I am capable of doing things just by writing. Like, it's crazy, and thank you so much for saying so and sharing your thoughts.

So, I love you all, sorry bout the ghost update, and I hope you enjoy the chapter!

"Noah."

"Noah."

Noah cracked an eye open. Stella was standing above him, looking impatient.

"Wake up," she said.

He groaned and turned his back to her, pulling the covers over his head.

Bad idea.

In a swift motion the blankets were ripped away, taking him with them. He crashed to the floor with a muffled shout.

"What do you want from me?" he asked, blearily rubbing his head.

Stella helped him up. "I want to watch a movie."

"It's one fifty-two." Noah said, knowing it would be no use. Stella was wide awake late into the night, and would sleep in for hours. She was practically nocturnal at this point.
