current chapter word count: 11776
scene written: spiritual spelunking
scene completed? yes, finally, though it might face reduction during editing (sadly, given that it is probably as close as I will ever get to exploring a cave myself), and quite a bit of finetuning later on to fit properly into the flow of the story.
next scene to be written: receiving Amerus contact data; this one will be short, half a page at most - and then there's the next chapter section (May 3) in which things get decidedly less vacational.
facts researched for today's session: cave shrimp (forgot those two days ago) and the anatomy of caving coveralls
excerpt of today's session:
"The only spirits in here were already ancient when the Sakura took root, long before your or my clan, Japan or the Ryukyu kingdom came to be. To them, we are just children, toddlers to be ignored because they haven't yet learned to get along with each other."
