DragonflyWhirlwind
I ask the readers Do you want to learn about the characters in this story?

DragonflyWhirlwind
I open up the poll for questions Let's see what the readers are curious about.
Lila: crosses her arms Honestly, I'm just trying to figure out why someone would turn me into a guinea pig. Did they think my hair extension business wasn't shady enough? Like, what's next? Selling organs on the black market?
DragonflyWhirlwind
What do you think about your brother, Lila?
Lila: sighs Oh, my brother? He's a total handful, you know? Always getting into trouble and dragging me into his messes. But he's my family, and I'll do anything for him. Even if he sometimes makes things more complicated than they need to be.

DragonflyWhirlwind
I start writing the next chapter We learn about how my life was pretty normal until one day, I accidentally fell into a pit filled with toxic gas. A mysterious group of scientists found me and decided to use me as an experiment because of my unique genetic mutations. Now I'm trapped in a secret underground lab far, far away from Earth, living a life I never imagined.
Lila: claps her hands Wowsers, readers! Looks like we've got ourselves a real-life sci-fi story brewing here! Can't wait to dive into the next chapter and see what twists and turns await our intrepid hero! Keep 'em coming, DragonflyWhirlwind!
DragonflyWhirlwind
I write down I've always had weird mutations. For example, I once had a full sleeve of tattoos that I didn't put there myself. They just appeared one night while I was sleeping. Another time, I woke up with a new septum piercing. I've also been double-jointed since I was a kid.
Lila: gestures animatedly Yo, readers, buckle up! It turns out our protagonist has been sporting some serious freaky features for years!
DragonflyWhirlwind
I continue writing I've always had problems with my joints. As a child, I learned how to dislocate and relocate my own bones. I can dislocate my shoulders, knees, ankles, elbows, and hips. When most people fall, they break their arms and legs. When I fall, I dislocate a joint.
Lila: snaps her fingers Damn, DragonflyWhirlwind, you're really bringing the heat! These joints are practically begging to be popped back into place! Can't wait to see how our protagonist deals with all this flexibility... or lack thereof!
DragonflyWhirlwind
I write One day, when I was 14, I was climbing a tree in my backyard. I fell and hit my head pretty hard on a rock. The next day, I woke up with a huge bump on my forehead. The doctor said I had a mild concussion.
Lila: raises an eyebrow Haha, looks like our protagonist's life is full of twisty-turny moments!
DragonflyWhirlwind
I finish writing That bump on my forehead never went away. It's been 18 years and it's still there. I also have scars from where I get my tattoos.
Lila: pops her collar Whoa, talk about a lingering souvenir! Looks like that bump is here to stay, huh? And those scars...
DragonflyWhirlwind
I finish the chapter Let's see what the readers want to learn about next.

Lila: claps her hands Alright, readers! Let's dive into my fabulous life! I was born and raised in the USA, specifically in this random town in Michigan.
DragonflyWhirlwind
I write down I'm the only child of a single mother. My father left before I was born. I've always wanted to know why he left. My mother told me he didn't love her and he didn't want to be with her.
Lila: rolls her eyes Ugh, drama alert! Sounds like daddy issues, am I right? But seriously, it must've been tough growing up without a dad.
DragonflyWhirlwind
I continue writing My mother remarried when I was 6 years old. My new stepfather is a billionaire. I got all the perks of being his daughter. I never wanted for anything.
Lila: smirks Well, well, well, looks like our girl Lila had herself a little sugar daddy, huh?
DragonflyWhirlwind
I write I had a pretty normal childhood. I went to public school. I didn't have many friends. I always had my stepbrother hanging around me.
Lila: frowns Aw, so our little Lila had a tough time making friends? That's rough! But hey, at least she had a stepbrother to hang out with, right?
