Here is another piece of "Harvest." This is set after Ekanu and Denifar have a screaming argument on the vision island. Here they begin to tentatively make up -- mostly because Denifar is a city boy and very much not into this whole 'nature' thing, and Ekanu is willing to take an indirect approach to hashing out their issues.

Incidentally, what I really wanted to do with this prompt was write up a version of a story Vicky and I brainstormed ten or twelve years ago. It was intended to be a comic -- kind of a teen romantic comedy superhero spoof -- called "Island Girl." The idea is that some kids in the Star Island/Cass Lake community had superpowers and secret identities and served as protectors of the island against various nefarious evil-doers. It was loosely environmental in message, but that wasn't the real point.
The main character was Island Girl, who defended Star Island against the depredations of the Bank Eroder. Her sidekick, Rip Rap, was secretly a kid from the town of Cass Lake who worked at the Sailstar Marina, and the Bank Eroder (in his civilian identity) worked as a clerk at Teals grocery store. Another girl (we were never sure whether she was an islander, a mainlander, or somebody who frequented one of the mainland resorts) went by Lady Windigo, and would sometimes work with Island Girl and sometimes work with the Bank Eroder, depending on her whim.
Island Girl's grandfather had been a hero in his youth, who went by the moniker Trail Maintenance. He had fought the Litterbug, who later reformed and married him; she was Island Girl's grandmother. Following in her grandparents' romantically troubled footsteps, Island Girl had a crush on the civilian identities of both Rip Rap and the Bank Eroder, but she didn't know that they were her sidekick and her nemesis. I think Lady Windigo might have known (and she and Island Girl did know each other's civilian identities), but because Lady Windigo was playing her own game, she basically sat back and laughed at Island Girl's romantic mishaps.
Vicky did some character designs at one point -- they mostly involved bathing suits and domino masks, with beach towels for capes -- but we never really worked out a plot and she got bored of comics, so nothing ever came of the scenario. Which is a pity; it was awfully cute, in a doofy way.
Anyway, I wanted to write about that, but it requires too much explanation for 15 minutes. Maybe some other day. *grin*
