Plot


Eniac

366 views

Every time I come back here and read previous entries and think about the next thing I am going to work I see a lot of contradictions or things that will confuse the plot. But, this is just my thoughts at the time. The final story may be completely different. I haven't started writing any actual content yet but I am hoping to bang out big blocks of text a week or more before the deadline and then spend time amending individual chapters and paragraphs. Anyway onto the plot:

The story has a driving plot for the characters to follow through and make the story a story, but it also has the analysis of the world basically from my point of view. The analysis is not detailed scrutinisation but rather just thoughts and explanations for why I like the show. There is also the point of developing my OCs story, possible backstory as well, so that if I were to use more OC more indepth on the forums I know how he will interact with others. So the point of the story for me: Try out writing, my views on the show and develop my OC into something believable.

So the driving plot:

Eniac is a new individual to an unnamed town (might need to give it a name but it is unimportant) where Sugar Plum lives. He arrives during the evening as he does not want to interact with anypony and it allows him to go about his business undisturbed. He has already bought a house or is renting, again unimportant really, and goes in straight away, again to avoid as much contact as possible. Word gets round to Sugar Plum who is then eager to find out more about the new comer.

Their first encounter is at the doorstep of Eniacs house. Sugar is very eager to find out more and Eniac cuts off her sentences trying to get her to go away. The only reason Eniac opened the door was because he thought it was a delivery or maintenance pony. Because of the fact that Sugar had a chance to talk to Eniac but was unable to get much information she keeps trying. Originally just at the door, but Eniac starts to ignore it, so she slowly catches him when he needs to come out to organise deliveries or buy something important. These usually occur really early or late.

Eventually Eniac manages to evade Sugar long enough to dishearten her from coming. Eniac starts to realise he can't see Sugar in his daily analysis of the town and begins to worry, he also realises how much he enjoyed the occasional time he was caught of guard and was able to talk about his past and thoughts. He eventually decides to try and find Sugar Plum in the evenings, but she is never around. This leads him to eventually have to find her during the day! Once found, which did not actually take too long in the day, Sugar teases Eniac. In the moment Eniac is not too bothered.

Sugar thus resumes her daily visits to Eniacs home. During one of these visits Sugar catches a glimpse of one of Eniacs inventions (my thoughts are either artificial wings or an artificial horn, more likely wings) and manages to barge through into the house. At this point Eniac gets very cross but then starts to see the wonder in Sugar's eyes. This leads to slow development the relationship between the two ponies. However they do get on each other's nerves, Eniac's occasional belittlement and lack of interest in Sugar, and Sugar's need for attention.

Slowly Eniac begins to interact with other ponies and starts to meet with them more often, especially the other scientifically inclined and engineers. This is after Sugar has helped Eniac to deal with other people constructively. So Sugar has been helping Eniac and Eniac has not reciprocated. Eventually, Eniac misses enough meetings with Sugar that she decides to leave (Eniac is such a big thing in the small town that her fun loving and friendliness is forgotten by others). At this point Eniac realises that the other ponies aren't actually interested in him but rather his inventions and tries to find Sugar Plum but can't.

Now I am unsure how Eniac manages to get to find Sugar Plum, I am more going with the fact that Eniac comes to his realisation as Sugar is starting to decide to leave this way they manage to catch each other before anything permanent happens. Here the final long dialogue between the two can occur, where Eniac and Sugar start with a big argument and slowly come to realise that they are as cross with themselves as they are with each other. Sugar Plum reminds Eniac that he needs to be aware of his impact on all ponies and Eniac reminds Sugar that she won't always be in the spotlight.

Voila end of story. The more I write about it the more inclined I am to have Sugar Plum and Eniac actually get into a relationship at the end. So maybe this will be a romantic story. But I think that's just because of my current mood over the last few days. Anyway, the plot falls into nice chapters so I can work on those in more detail as well as any supporting ponies.
