With Easter here, I thought it would be fun to play a characterization game. If my main character, Bethany, was a type of Easter candy, what kind would she be, and why?

“I would totally be anything chocolate. Dark. Milk. Cream-filled. Doesn’t matter which kind.  Chocolate is my drug of choice—my addiction—and I self-medicate whenever possible. I have stashes in my drawers (dresser, not panties, lol), under my pillow, in my backpack, and I’m not above consuming a warm and gooey bar from my pocket (or AA bra when a pocket is unavailable). Chocolate is my friend, my comforter, my ‘holy crap, it’s shizztastic!’ But I’d give it up for Jeremiah … as long as I could still smell it on occasion—or lick the wrapper.

“Hey wait. I just had a thought. Can I pick the kind Zoey would be? Because I’d seriously make the heartless bully-of-a-wench a Peep’s bunny … and bite her head off!”

-Bethany Keatley                        

Since we’re having fun, let’s keep it going and do another characterization game, meeting the cast using the gang of Scooby Doo!

Butterfly Bones Dream Cast #1

Scooby Doo and the Gang

The role of Bethany Keatley will be played by Velma. “Do you think I’ll get to solve the mystery of the butterflies? Jinkies!”

The role of heartthrob, Jeremiah Wright, will be played by Fred.  

“Hey! I thought Daphne was cast as the leading lady. I won’t have to kiss Velma, will I?”

The role of Dr. Keatley will be played by Shaggy. “Look, Scoob! I get to wear a lab coat and act smart. Hey, check out these mouse pellets. Do you think they taste good? Only one way to find out; Bottoms up!”

The role of Zoey Margold will be played by Daphne. “I’ve always wanted to play the bad girl. And check out this girl’s wardrobe. I’m in mini-skirt heaven.”

The role of the mice and the butterflies will alternately be played by Scooby Doo. “Uh, uh. I’m not wearing a stupid butterfly costume. No way. I have my dignity.”

“… Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?”

“Uh, uh.”

“… How about two Scooby Snacks?

“No way!”

“… How about three Scooby Snacks?”

“Three Scooby Snacks? Yum, yum, yum! Mmmhmm.”

Gulp. Gulp. Gulp. “Rooby, Rooby, Roo!”
