[PART NINE] & Some News
Okay, I'm a little new at this so sorry if I mess this up first go. Because it's been 5 months since the last round even though we haven't been busy. I figured I might as well earn my keep and try to get this place alive again...

This has massive angst potential (and I'm not actually against that) but I'd love if it had a bit of the mellower tone of the movie - more about the realization by Mark and Eduardo of how sensitivity and painful experiences can be important.
But mostly I'd just love to see how the idea could play out, so do what you will!

I've never seen the film and I just looked it up.. Would it bother anyone if it didn't follow the whole disappearance/abduction plotline but just had the general concept of soul removal?

The film is totally worth a look, though; it is so lovely!

Eduardo remembers being six and living in a loud, boisterous household full of laughter and chatter. He remembers warm smiles and welcoming arms, the playful squeals of children in the neighborhood sprinting across the road barefoot, relishing the warm, Brazilian earth underfoot.
At seven, he remembers family parties with his mother’s famous feijoada, the odor of spices enveloping him while he ran throughout the house with all his friends. He remembers spying on his father deep in conversation with all his business partners and the neighboring fathers whispering about souls, ruthless, and good for business. He remembers the conversation stopping short there and his father turning around slowly before contorting his face into the scariest image he can muster and roaring at the top of his lungs while ( ... )

I'm so excited that you're writing this and love what you have so far!

Either way, there will be more of me flailing at you in the future!

Well, thank you to some degree because thanks to you my life is now composed of "UGH THAT TSN FILL WITH SOULLESS EDUARDO" and "oh other school stuff or something".
Also, I'm kind of EXTREMELY slow at writing and I've never really written any fic before SO I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THE INEVITABLE LAME WRITING YOU WILL READ.

His sophomore year starts relatively uneventfully. He settles into his single (another “gift” from his father, the better one, really.) and looks into fraternities and clubs. He joins the Harvard Investors Association and when they ask him if he wants to run for a position, he thinks, fuck it, why not? and agrees to run. He mingles with some of the other students applying for the association. Some of them are dead in the eyes. He wants to throw up, he wants to leave, the gaze of too many dead, emotional eyes makes him uncomfortable, like his skin is stretched tight over his body. He graciously excuses himself through clenched teeth, a heavy pounding behind his eyes. Stepping outside, he lets the crisp early autumn air surround him as he breathes in, relishing the release in tension in his whole body. He hears the muffled noises of some kind of party in a building nearby, and he draws closer to the building, peering through the window before walking through the doorway largely unnoticed. ( ... )
