Royals of the Tempest

The wake of a peculiar storm leaves two strangers with strange visions and the ability to manipulate the aura around them. With this phenomena becoming the catalyst to misadventures with a declining improv troupe, the reserved Michael Anthony is reckoning with the regrets of his life trajectory prior. His newfound power allows him to both unseal the emotional baggage within the troupe's key members, and to cultivate a budding talent for stage presence, but with his achievements comes trepidation and guilt about his newfound friends, admirers, and the alter ego he performs under. Hally Aneluto is more interested with the reasons behind this power, and seeks to understand the strange pocket worlds created by this "Tempest", its creator's intentions, and why it has tethered her to all these other lives. Royals of the Tempest is a 2-in-1 character study curious in exploring the tensions between identity, façades, and sociability, backdropping coming-of-age realistic fiction with a touch of supernatural mystery and action. Now includes the 3rd Chapter: A few days after that strange storm, Michael now feels conflicted about his new acquaintances in Hally and Simone, and the life that the latter has let him take a glimpse into. Practice continues in Platinum Park, amidst growing tensions and wind.
