ITS ELECTRIC .. BOOGIE WOOGIE WOOGIE!
This caption just sort of fell into place once I figured out who I was going to use the picture for. I had done the "setting" a few weeks ago but wasn't feeling the actual caption at the time so I just let it sit in a folder for the time being. I wanted to make something for Melina but her preferences are quite detailed, and I had a hard time working with them. I like guidance when it comes to preferences, but I still like to control the plot and decide how I want things to go and it took me some time to think of something that she would enjoy.
That all being told, I still enjoy this one very much, and since I'm a fan of strange non-fiction, I got to bring in some of those quasi-scientific theories of the past like Reich, who is sort of the psych version of Tesla, though Tesla was much more accomplished and misunderstood. I also did a report on Aleister Crowley for a folklore class in college, so I knew of his using sex magick to generate elemental power for his witchery. I think that referencing these real people make the story seem a bit more plausible, especially if you do have somewhat of a background in metaphysical matters or quack science of the 1st half of the 20th century .. at least a smidgen of gravitas it wouldn't have had if I made the old scientist Anton Jenkins.
Other touches I really like include that the body change has been acknowledged and they get down to business. They both are smart and you can tell there is a history between them and they are ready to get down to brass tacks business wise. Damien shows that he doesn't mind having sex with Melina even knowing she was Alex ... as an investment opportunity he could become rich beyond belief, so whats a little sex between acquaintances when money and a hot chick are involved? I also like that there is, at least until the end, a power struggle where they are equals, even when Melina is naked and talking to Damien. If the caption story continued on. I would assume that Damien would gain control more as he became more comfortable in a woman's body. Its obvious that Alex has gotten his bearings as a female and wants Damien in 100 percent. After the experiment, I would assume they'd work something out, but business wise and probably gender wise too!
I might post on Saturday if I get the chance. Well, I HOPE to post on Saturday, perhaps tomorrow if the weather is still pretty bad out so keep checking in! (edit: I actually FORGOT to post this last night sooooo I guess I AM posting on Friday after all!)
