Mordecai sat down near him and crossed his legs as well. "I don't believe we got much done last time. I pretty much just told you stories the entire time." he said as be looked to Norman.

IC Norman looked over at him in disbelief. "Didn't get much done? I think we did! I mean those stories were amazing, I really think we got a lot done with them, stories told from someone who was there is way better than stories in a book and I love books."

Mordecai shrugged. "If you say so." he never really found his stories that exciting, but he was glad that Norman enjoyed them so much. "Alright, so what do we do next? Now that we have all of our information?" he asked him.

IC Norman paused and thought about it. "Hmm. I don't know actually, what angle are we trying to go with for this?" He asked. Wondering exactly what they were going to do with this project of theirs, he was good with any angle really.

"What angle? Like how we want to present it?" Mordecai asked as he looked to him. "I don't know, what do you think will be easiest?" he asked him.

IC "Yeah, and really I don't know, I want it to be different though...you have any ideas? Now would be a good time to share them," Norman told him as he put the bowl back on the table and plopped down on his back, resting his hands behind his head.
"Heh, don't worry, it'll probably be boring no matter what you do," Randolph commented from the couch and Norman rolled his eyes.
"Do the world a favor Randolph, and shut up," Norman was already so annoyed with his dormmate and it was just the first few days.

"School projects can only be so different you know." Mordecai said to him as he watched him. He glanced over at Randolph as he spoke up but he just ignored him and focused back on Norman. "The only thing I can think of we can do is like a poster or a power point or something."

IC Norman frowned slightly. "Those both sound boring, we need something new," he decided, looking up at the ceiling however then Randolph had to speak up again, clearly annoyed by the comment from the redhead.
"Why don't you do the world a favor and disappear?"
"I would but then the world would have to look at you," Norman spat back before getting up to sit on his knees and glare over at the other human. "We're working, so can you just leave us alone?" He asked and Randolph scoffed lightly and went back to his book.

Mordecai let out a small sigh when he shot down his idea then started to think some more. He glared over at Randolph when he spoke up again and decided just to ignore him again before looking back to Norman. "Maybe we could make a video or something?" he suggested to him.

IC "...A video would be cool," Norman agreed. "What kind of video though? Like a...reenactment of the war? I saw this video on YouTube of these people who did a video of World War I as of it was a bar fight," he mused quietly.

Post by anormallife on Nov 27, 2016 16:51:47 GMT -5
Mordecai shrugged. "I'm not sure, but I don't think we can really do a reenactment with just the two of us." he commented.

IC "Okay that's true...I mean I'm a pretty great actor but I don't know about you, well then what do you wanna do Mordecai?" Norman asked with a tilt of his head as he tried to ignore Randolph.

Mordecai shrugged. "I don't know, I'm not a very creative person. Never really have been. You're asking the wrong person here for creative project advice." he said to him. He wasn't really a person to thing out of the box, sticking to basic ideas and concepts.

IC "Hmm, well then how about do a music video? Yeah we can make up rhyming lyrics that go over how the war started-it isn't a very serious way to portray it, but it would be full of knowledge and also be fun and wouldn't put people to sleep!" He said with a grin as he looked over at Mordecai with a grin. He was a very creative person really.

"A music video? Do you think we'll be able to finish with the time frame that we have?" Mordecai asked him. They would to come up with a song, record it, shoot some video for it, them edit it all together. It seems kind of impossible with the short amoung of time they have.

IC "Definitely, if we work hard on it," Norman said determinedly, looking over at the wall with a very determined look on his face. "We would just need to decide what we're going to focus on within that time period," he explained, gesturing around slightly with his hands.
"That's a stupid idea," Randolph interrupted from where he was and Norman sent him a glare though he didn't exactly argue.

"Well there are a lot of things that we could focus in on." Mordecai said to him then glared over at Randolph when he spoke up again. He then leaned towards Norman slightly. "Can we go somewhere else?" he asked him quietly, he didn't like Randolph and all of his interruptions.

IC Norman shook his head. "If we leave it means that he wins, he'll think he can get away with this stuff," he explained in a hushed whisper. Norman was stubborn...sometimes absolutely annoyingly so, but he made sure to stand his ground, and Randolph wasn't going to win, he could wait this out and put up with him. Eventually Randolph would get bored and leave.

Mordecai nodded. "That makes sense." he said then leaned away from Norman and looked over at Norman's notes about World War 1. "So what do you think we should focus on?" he asked him as his eyes scanned the pages of the books.

IC "I was thinking we should focus on how the war affected different people. Soldiers, civilians, refugees. Everyone, sort of show different sides to the war, go about all different angles," Norman explained, having already put quite a bit of thought into that part at least.

Post by anormallife on Nov 28, 2016 19:54:58 GMT -5
Mordecai nodded. "Sounds like a good plan, although I really know the civilian part of things. Maybe a little bit about the solider part, but not much." he said then looked back up him

IC "Well we could probably ask for different accounts from different people too, maybe that could be it, a video sharing the stories before remember from the time, most of the vampires here have probably lived that long, right?" Norman asked, looking over at him. "It would be cool though, to get different accounts of everything from different perspectives, it puts things like war into perspective," he explained with a grin and Randolph scoffed from where he was.

Post by anormallife on Nov 28, 2016 21:03:33 GMT -5
"Yeah, most of us have lived that long, but you might be hearing the same story over and over. Most of us went into hiding and tried not to get involved or die." Mordecai explained to him as he leaned against the coffee table slightly.

IC Norman nodded and frowned slightly. "Yeah I guess but nobody has the same story, everyone's been through different trials and I think it would be pretty cool to see how many stories we could fit in," he explained and looked over at him with nothing short of a pout. "You keep shutting down all my ideas..." he complained lightly. Not outright shutting them down, but still shutting them down.
"That's because they're bad ideas," Randolph chipped in as he flipped the pace in his book and Norman glared over at him but didn't really argue.

"I'm sorry, they are all great ideas really." Mordecai said to him. "I didn't mean to shut down your ideas. You're right, it will be interesting to get different stories from different vampires." he said to him.

IC Norman shrugged as he turned to plop down on his stomach, kicking his legs slightly back and forth. "No it's fine...just tell me what you want to do. This is both of our project," he reminded. "Just tell me what you want to do."

Mordecai sighed then leaned back and laid down on his back. "Well I like the video idea." he said to him we he reached up and ran his hands through his hair. "Maybe we can sort of a documentary type of video, then we can still get all the stories you want." he said as he looked over to him.

IC "Okay," Norman agreed with a small nod. "We could do something like that," he said and reached up for the bowl of food again, bringing it down in front of him to snack on it. Mordecai was really mature and well sensible...though Norman did have to think that that wasn't always a good thing. He needed some help to see the world in a new light again, maybe Norman should help him.

Mordecai nodded then looked up at the ceiling. "Yeah, let's do that." he said then slowly sat back. "We should probably do some planning before we start." he said to him then grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil.

IC Norman quickly agreed, even though his mind was currently elsewhere now. "Yeah...let's start planning," he agreed idly as he snacked on the cheeto puffs. He was still super hyped for this project...though he did sort of decide then and there that he had another one too, and that was to help Mordecai find his curiousity and enthusiasm for...life again, and he already had a plan on how he could.
