Runaway to the Future Humongous Author's Notes for Training Arc pt.2 · 5:59pm Jul 2nd, 2013
First things first. I finally got Cover Art for the story, but unfortunately the site won't show it so I have it linked on the top of the page.
Open Eyes: From origins up to this arc. While life has thrown her through the blender she's always had a bit of innocence to her. A need to belong, be accepted, and to be loved. It's through CAfYL that she sees how the Rich and Influential do business, and how they see the world. That their are no friends, only resources to further your goals. Networking [who you know is more important than what you know]. The old adage of diplomacy [Not just the shake a hand with one hand while holding a knife behind the back with the other. But "If you can't drink a man's whiskey, sleep with his wife, take his money, and still vote against him the next morning than you have no place in politics."].
As well as how to do hostile take overs, manipulate opposition, as well as undermine competition. This opens her eyes to how the world works for the rich and powerful. In the end shaping her into a more distrusting, and focused individual. Working with rules and skillsets that were alien to her. What caused this to come into effect was getting her Social Training so that she could actually not only create a working business, but also to get her ready for social interactions in the future.
Meeting Vinyl: Meeting Vinyl is one of the best things for Soul Shard. Although it was a short meeting, hearing Vinyls thoughts on music has given her something good to hold on to.She becomes more important to the story after arc 5..
The next Arc is the end of the training arcs, and the creation of Shard Industries. So until next update, I hope y'all enjoyed this chapter, and the next one will be out when my awesome editor finishes up the next arc.
