#DVParty 5️⃣ theme song/playlist

Back when I was a teenager drafting the bare bones of what would eventually become PARABOUND, I sought out atmospheric sci-fi instrumentals to get me in the zone. This one by Odesza became PARABOUND’s tonal anchor, and despite the books many iterations, still is.

#DVParty Day 5️⃣// Book’s theme song/playlist

A bit of an unserious one but the first time I saw Wicked in theaters I thought “Elphie and Glinda are Nova and Reagan in a different font and universe” so I ascribed them “What is this feeling?”

#DVParty // If you’ve ever seen the Netflix show Sense8, that’s basically how the psychic bond between Reagan and Nova functions in PARABOUND, except instead of 8 of them there’s two, and Reagan and Nova are not nearly as chummy as the Sense8’s

#DVParty // Reagan and Nova genuinely tweaking when they discovered the girl in their head who talks and can puppeteer their limbs through a psychic mind-bond is in fact a real person and not a glitch in their neural implant or a demon sent to torment them

#DVParty // POV: You’re Nova and Reagan is yelling at you for using HER arm to put the volume down on the radio through the psychic mind-bond you share that lets you puppeteer each others bodies

#DVParty Day 4// About the only thing Reagan and Nova would agree on in PARABOUND
