Well I've probably mentioned the Night Troupe plenty of times and right now I'm in the writing mood. I feel like my intelligence or at least my vocabulary has been temporarily enhanced and I find myself using words I don't normally use.

The Night Troupe is a story that I have been working on since I was almost twelve and in the sixth grade in my first year at middle school. The idea came literally out of nowhere while I was at the school after school during one of those parent-teacher nights/afternoons. The 'night' in the story name makes little sense when I go to think about what the story has become but when I look back to when it first came to me, it sort of does.

The Night Troupe lives in a building that I often refer to as a palace, which is based on my middle school's building. I was a new student at that school so the location just seemed natural. And my first idea was that these people were either night owls or just members of the staff that actually lived at the school.

But anyway, here's the story.

The Night Troupe:
A couple who are also brother and sister (I know it's incest but it's best not to dwell so much on the issue because it's normal in their society) grew up in a family where family values and group work were highly valued. The family kept a farm where they all worked together to harvest food. However, the male of the couple, his job's workload increased immensely due to advances in the country and he was unable to teach his children the ways that he and his wife had learned. His wife didn't have the willpower to be a mother and felt she wasn't ready to be a mother all by herself. Instead she decided to keep to her roots and let her family be.

Because of this, the eldest of their children ended up looking out for the younger children. Then when the couple hired staff to help keep up the residence, two members of the staff ended up becoming somewhat involved with the children.

It wasn't until later on in the childrens' lives did their parents step in again and try to bring the family together, this time through a family project that would not only help them out but help the community out also.

The stories are mostly in the point of view of the children of the couple. The main character is a girl named Misty who is a homage to Pokemon's Misty. She is also sort of based on me. She's artistic and reasonably smart but she's pretty normal, especially when you compare her to her sisters whom each have a notable trait.

If you go into my scrapbook to that Night Troupe collage, Misty is there and so are most of the characters.
