okay, so, there's like a 50/50 chance of melinda having a straight-up panic attack the first morning, because WHAT THE HELL EVERYTHING GONE INCLUDING MAREK IS SHE DEAD NO SHE WAS PLANNING TO COME BACK AS A GHOST IF SHE WENT FIRST etc. there will definitely be some panic and tears but whether this progresses to a legitimate panic attack i haven't decided. either way she will eventually get it together and go into the pensieve although she will seriously, SERIOUSLY need a twinhug when she gets out the first day. once she has the idea of how this goes and knows she'll see marek in the evening, she'll be fine on subsequent days, so here are my thoughts anna-style:
boh melinda - she'll do this first, and probably repeat it at least once or twice, depending how many times this happens. it bugs her that she never gets to be in this battle in her world because marek keeps them out of it, so she'll go and be a badass and...i have to decide what the deal will be with marek. melinda wouldn't have been an adult for this battle in colour world, so maybe one go-through in the role of a random death eater who happens to be there (maybe even her sister who was a snatcher, that could be fun), and one go-through as a student with marek by her side. (is this how all that works?) she would stay, allegedly to defend hogwarts, but fight with the death eaters. adele - will probably do this at some point, in the role of a student. she wouldn't fight, but would be one of the random background kids who presumably got evacuated while the fighting was going on.
healy games melinda - will do this at some point, do a lot better with the training than the interviews. basically think katniss for the interviews, she tends to be so bitchy and standoffish that she'll need a lot of coaching to do well on them. adele - will do this first because she wants to know what theo went through. opposite of melinda, she'll do pretty well with the interviews, playing them kindof sweet and demure, but struggle a little with the training because she's not in shape.
cured melinda - will not do it. you can't make her. adele - might do it, would find the whole thing unsettling and not at all preferable to life as she knows it. might be interesting to run with tewdric being minister and see her be a political wife.
fear i haven't read the thread describing these so these thoughts are uneducated and may change melinda - will have to do with marek, maybe alec and some other friends in like a victim capacity, her grandfather and TDL and maybe some other family in a victimizer capacity. will all have to do with people, though. adele - will have to do with futures, her visions, and probably herself being crazy and probably theo being hurt by it all.
player's choice melinda - memories with marek as a kid, maybe christmas, maybe taking the mark. memories with marina where they got along. memories with alec (lmao temptation for it to be like "THAT ONE WEEKEND WHERE THEY LOCKED THEMSELVES IN HIS BEDROOM FOR 72 HOURS" is high, can't get syphilis from a memory). probably largely happy stuff, i honestly can't think of anything super negative that would be interesting to subject her to. adele - i weirdly want to put her on a spaceship.
