Posting synopses

Rather than telling about a character today (two down and three to go), I will rather post the synopsis I have also included in my user tab of the NaNoWriMo forums. So, as follows, the synopsis for Following the Gay Umbrella:

It's not Crazyland that made them that way - they were so to begin with.

The story for today begins with a mistake involving mysterious doors: a mistake which leads to five teenagers' arrival to a less mysterious but more absurdly unpredictable alternate dimension. Curious, they are directed to follow the trail of an even less mysterious but more infuriatingly elusive character named Narrator, who, they hope, will explain this madness. However, as they travel through cities governed by magical ducks, escape the furious Lady of the Wind and explore libraries that are really shrines of four specific deities, the fellowship comes to realise just how odd the dimension they have arrived to really is.

While Narrator continues to dodge their attempts to find him, the fellowship is further drawn into the curious realm of Crazyland. As slightly more mysterious and oddly powerful creatures such as Destiny, Chance and Time step (even though the motion may seem less like stepping and more like magically 'poof'-ing) into the picture, the fellowship of five begins to understand that there is more to the apparent madness that meets the eye. That is, to be specific, when already incomprehensible things begin go wrong and, as is bound to happen, potentially dangerous. Before they quite process what truly is going on, a group of these oddly powerful creatures and self-proclaimed deities, carrying the banner of The Great, come to the conclusion that while it is not the most desired course of action, the fellowship must be proclaimed the Tentatively Picked Ones In a Case Where Nothing Else Worked and No-One Could Think of a Valid Objection.

And thus, slightly confused but determined, Ada, Sophie, Nicholas, Sebastian and Donna (though she prefers to be called Dee) reset their bearings and set out on an epic-ish quest to, uh, defeat the Unknown Villain (or so they believe). As anybody knows, the road to an objective as simple as that could never be simple, and as that is how things unfortunately are, the poor fellowship will encounter problematic definitions of elves, be scared by various generic monsters, stumble over impossibly cute fuzzy creatures, crave caffeine, argue about the existence of Author, and follow Ada's gay umbrella.
