Quoth the concept I told a few months ago:

marco262: mightyfoxling : Okay so before I run off to make a sandwich, I HAVE to copy this down because this is awesome
mightyfoxling : it was sparked from our conversation about the draft; it's a story plot thing
mightyfoxling : I've always head in my head a sort of future 1984-type world, probably sparked from all the thought on Kagekyuu
mightyfoxling : and during a war some rather insignificant city was destroyed or somethin, and then new city, since their resources were limited was built on top of it
mightyfoxling : And the Below, also called Obsidian, is where they put all the impoverished people, or the people who can't pay their taxes or whatever stupid things like that, and eveyrone lives in big community buildings and stuff takes the bus yeah
mightyfoxling : So anyways
marco262: mightyfoxling : I had this thought that in this time and city, there's a war, and this couple who en't so good as us don't want to get drafted
mightyfoxling : So they get married to avoid it, but since the draft is Unisex, they know that won't really mean much, so they have a child as well.
mightyfoxling : But they're drafted anyways, since the govt is following Roman philosophy of you'll fight harder if you have your lover beside you to protect, and the child is left alone, possibly banished to Obsidian.
mightyfoxling : And it's the story of the kid.
mightyfoxling : Geez...can you imagine..."we never really wanted you; you were our loophole, and you didn't work."
mightyfoxling : So yeah. Maybe NaNoWriMo fodder or somethin.
