| - The Guacamole Boys Hit the Town is a story I wrote in collaboration with Creeperman129. This is the second story I wrote with Creeperman for Baby You're a Rich Man. Much like with The Adventures of Beerus and Whis...IN SPACE!, this story was an improvisational comedy. We came up with the general story idea on DBF chat, and I made and named the google docs page that Creeperman and I used to write this story together. Originally, the title was a spur-of-the-moment working title, but I liked it enough to keep it as the final title. Nearly every aspect of this story was improvised, though we did discuss writing primarily about Abo and Kado, and perhaps Tarble too. When writing this one, I didn't want to make it like the last one, so I took a much different approach. My style of writing was more laid-back and more free-wheelin'; I spent a majority of my prose exploring little things, like verbal dexterity with the characters, and had a more DD-influenced rant style that I was excited to try. I did a bit of that in my previous collab with Creeperman, but I really focused on it here. Also, my contributions were much shorter overall in this story compared to the last one (I had seven sections, compared to ten in the Beerus comedy, and I neither opened nor closed this one-shot). So anyways, this story took a long time to write, mainly because we wrote only a section or two a day for the most part. Creeperman and I wrote our first sections on August 3, 2016. Then, we wrote our second sections on August 4. After that, Creeperman wrote the first line of his third section and nothing else was accomplished after that for several days. This is the exchange that the two of us had afterwards: Creeperman: (Haven’t worked on it much :P) Kv: cool just work on it when you can Creeperman: TBH, that long paragraph kinda put me in a slump yesterday. Good writing I guess :P. Doesn’t help that I decided to read “The Kiling Joke” Kv: Dem boys ready for some partayy Work was not continued on the story until Creeperman thought up his next section on August 12. I remember when I began my third section (the one that begins with "Pieces of a ragdoll mankind"), I was extremely high, and that section was a struggle for me to write. The 8 or so day break had messed up my writing flow, and being so high made it hard to concentrate. As a result, I didn't get much accomplished on August 12. However, the next day, I wrote almost all of the third section very early in the morning. Yes, I was high for that, which sort of sucked, because it meant I would be like that all day, but it was a rule I made for myself that I wouldn't write any of this story if I wasn't high. Creeperman wrote his fourth section on August 14 and 15. An hour or so after he finished his fourth section, so too did I finish mine. We began working again on August 17 (I don't remember why we skipped a day). We finished the rest of the story that day, with Creeperman writing four more sections, and me writing my final three. My sections were overall longer than his, if I remember correctly, and we decided that it was best for the story if he ended it after my last one. So that's how that went. The story was posted on this site not long after. I don't remember much of this story. I'll see how it is in the endnotes below. One thing I do want to remember though is that it was my goal to move the plot towards a club setting, where Abo and Kado could party with some fine hominids and drink and have a great time. I wanted to contrast their personalities with the setting, adding in Tarble, Mr. Satan and others. As you will see if you read this one, that didn't really turn out how I had expected. Like with the previous collab with Creeperman, I treated each one of my sections as a little vignette I could use for a specific purpose. I carried over some themes, such as partying and wishing to party until all the pain goes away, but mostly, each section was much different from the others, plot-wise. I did a lot of introductions for characters again; Creeperman focused on those characters in his sections much more than I did. There were a lot of references in my sections too, but I tried to not be as Beatles-centric in this one so as to not make it too similar to the Beerus story. A lot of what I wrote is just what came into my mind when I was high, no filter. It wasn't very important for me to make my sections comedic; more important was for them to be interesting and unique to me, visually-striking and memorable. Of course, it's hard to make a story memorable for yourself when you're high while writing it, because being high really fucks with your short-term memory (at least for me). Anyways, I think that's all I need to say about this on. Onto the endnotes!
