In this
chapter I came up with the multiple personality angle to Callisto. It
kind of explains her previous actions and why she isn't evil deep down
inside. I'm actually about to change that a bit in chapter 5.
Chapter 2 Notes:
The first dream sequence. It's almost as if there's a good Callisto and
an evil Callisto. Don't know if I'll change that. Not much in the way
of a fight scene. I don't know if I can be descriptive enough to do
action. I tend to be more introspective. The death trap I came up in 5
minutes so there may have been another way to solve it; but that's not
the point.
Chapter 3 Notes:
I'm starting to use less metaphors and more "he", "she". Callisto likes
to swim, sure, why not? I'm trying to contrast the good and evil
Callistos. By now I think each chapter will be relatively focused on
one or two topics. The time scale is odd chapters day, even chapters
night/dreams. Only a week or two will pass by the time I'm done with
this story. I still don't know if there's a real point of the story
other than the dreams. I'm trying to keep Callisto emotionally
unpredictable.
Other Notes:
Chapter 4 will be a dream reliving the nightmare of Cirra. I've skipped
it for now since I don't know if I can describe it correctly. Chapter 5
deals with Callisto teaching Joxer a few things. Lots of introspection
for Callisto throughout the story.

Finally finished with chapter 5. I waited to see Sacrifice before
continuing, then I was so depressed I almost scrapped the whole story
to start again. Instead I'm going to more or less ignore Sacrifice for
now. The story still takes place after Sacrifice. I'm assuming
Gabrielle either survived or is brought back to life within the first
couple of episodes of season 4. As for Callisto, I have an idea for a
future chapter that may explain how she's back.
I'll have to go over chapter 5 again later. I jumped around throughout
the day so it may be a bit confusing. I'm not too comfortable with the
background for Callisto's dreams. It's not quite logical enough.
Joxer being a good cook I've read in other stories. Joxer knowing he's
a fool I've probably read before but I don't recall. I think I finally
have an ending to the story. It will end with Callisto and Joxer
opening up to each other and being more forthcoming about their dreams.
(I'm not going to have any Joxer dream chapters -- the story is about
Callisto first).
