Twisted Tales
BonesMcgee for Derek
Derek wishes he had more time for his child, but he has to work so much to pay the bills. He's a lot more laid-back than Anna is, but he loves Charlie just as much. Derek loves to be the teacher and lesson-giver. He takes pride in getting to raise an actual human, his own little human, into a kind and compassionate strong individual, something he wishes the world had more of.

What's wrong, string bean? You seem a little off today. You know you can always talk to me, right?
That's part of life. What's important is that we LEARN from stuff like this. When you choose to reflect and learn, you grow. Not just big and strong, but up here (pointing to his head). That way, the next time something scary or painful happens, it doesn't hurt so bad.
(Faded, a shell of his old self, meaningless words, cold) Because you're strong, string bean. Stronger than me or mommy ever could have dreamed of being.
Hi bones! I don't think I have anything negative to say here. It feels like you're having fun and trying to become a new character. I love that! I intentionally didn't give too much information about these characters so you guys can figure out who they are to YOU. Your take makes me feel like this man knows what he's talking about. He seems refined and calculated. I'm not sure what your intentions were, but that's how I've perceived it. His articulation and pacing makes me imagine him kneeling down beside his daughter while wearing a suit after work. You've given me a specific image, which is awesome. Also loved your other submission! You seem fun to work with, which is huge for me. All business and no play is a dampening agent in this industry in my opinion. You did great!
