Hey all!
Me again.
So I have a couple questions about a couple different things. Anyone who can help with any of these, your help is much appreciated^^
Tattoo Artists
So my MC is an artist and tattoos fascinate him. What better occupation than a tattoo artist! His mentor, Brick (short for "Brice Robert Isador Connor Kick. don't ask), is a tattoo artist (another reason for his wanting to be one) and decides to teach him. The problem is I have no idea how tattoos work. Do you start with stencils until you're practiced enough to go freely? Explanantion would help a lot, because the Leon-Brick relationship is a big part of the WIP.
High School Suspensions
Leon punches a kid in the face for calling his brother a fag, and then tells him he'll break his neck if he says another word against his family. Leon has a violent past, he's pretty good about it now but when he snaps he you know snaps. (I mentioned this in case it will affect his ehm... sentence.) He does this during school at lunch, so the school deals with it. Right now I have him suspended for 2 weeks, one for violence and another for threatening. But I have never been suspended --- threatened with suspension sure but never the real deal. SO I'm wondering whether 2 weeks is accurate or not.
Law Enforcement
Part of Leon's backstory is him shooting his brother's girlfriend's brother in the hand with his own gun. The story is basically that they got in a fight, Luke (the brother) had him pinned down with his gun on the ground next to him, and Leon picked it up to scare him. Being 14, naive, and having close to no experience with guns, he tried to lock it and ended up pulling the trigger. I don't want to talk about the plausibility of this story! What I want to know is, would he be sent to juvenile hall and if so, for how long? He hasn't had any legal trouble before this, he has run into some trouble at his school and foster homes, but none recorded. Also, he could probably make a case for self defense, right? Thanks guys.
Broken Wrists
The second MC in the WIP is Scarlett. After certain, unexciting events, she falls out of a tree and breaks her wrist. I have NO idea about broken bones! Is this reason enough to go to the emergency room (she's pregnant, so obviously they are freaking out about the unborn child in her stomach as well)? I mean, how else would it be taken care of? Also, would she have a cast? For how long? How much does it hurt? Thanks a million!
Weddings
This is for a second WIP (in the outlining stage, shoot me now). Anyway, MC1 and MC2 are getting married.
I have never gotten married. Neither have my parents or anyone close to me. So I must ask how weddings work.
I know it's subjective, and differs for everyone, but how much do you think a wedding costs in all? What are the necessities for a succesful, or at least functional wedding? Theirs will be Catholic, so does a priest have to marry them? Do they have to write their own vows, or choose them, or what?
Also, what's the point of a rehearsal dinner aside from a nice dinner where the Maid of Honor and Best Man make speeches?
Thanks so much everyone. I would be lost without all you AWers.
Thanks again! Love you guys.
