Clockwise - Book and Character Introduction
DamiChan for Sterling Johnson
Sterling Bao Johnson used to live in an old, rickety house that his parents were trying to fix up. He wore black, hated his life, and was the only odd man out in his family, who were all as white as could be and he was half Asian from his dead mother’s side. Used to. He got in a fight with two strange creatures from the Underworld and they open the portal in the lake behind his house, causing him to fall into an adventure that he was never ready for.
[NORMAL]
I'm taking Ladybird with me upstairs, alright? She'll protect me or, you know, something. [waits for response] Okay, I'm sorry! I just wanted to pet the dog. Happy? [waits for a response; the voice becomes confused] Wait, what? I could've just asked? You're unpredictable, Milo. I like you, though.
[WORRIED]
What've you done? Help me out, I can't swim! [waits for response] Are you crazy? This is water, I can't fall through water! Wait, wait, stop! Stop it, let me out! [voice turns to a scream] Daddy, help!
[ANGRY/SHOUTING]
Just tell me what you're doing before you do it! All you think about is yourself, Milo, you never care about any of us! [choking sounds; the voice is in short breaths] I'm--sorry--Milo!
