Notes
By the time December rolled around, Johnny Frost was back at his flat. His money had run out again and he was working at a hotel in Langwood called The Fechy.
It had once been a decent enough hotel that had catered to summer tourists, but it was now used as a place to dump displaced people and refugees while they were found better places to live. There was no luxury here, but the beds were clean, and the food was edible, a far sight better than anything down on the Delta. It was not far from Johnny’s flat, so he usually walked to work. His job was to sweep and mop the floors, move deliveries down to the stock room, and help serve the meals. He stole as much food and toilet paper as he thought he could get away with. 
Friends and Acquaintances
Joe the leader of this outfit. - chain-smoker - scraggy beard that grew patchily on his sunburnt and freckled face 
‘We should score tomorrow,’ said Joe, stretching back in his seat. ‘We can head over to Mickey’s and get a nine bar from him.’
Ellie and Wasp
Ellie was a big solidly built teenage girl. Wasp was a short and narrow fourteen-year-old boy, his growth stunted by a mother that had smoked all the way through her pregnancy.
Stiffy , girlfriend
Early experiences of the Reditus
With every mile he felt the oppression of Evermarch lift off his shoulders. It was almost as if, in the Lowland glens of what remained of Galloway, the reditus had simply never happened. Almost. People didn’t go into the city for their shopping any longer and the ministers got more business, but that was about it. In the first month of the reditus Johnny had spent three months up here with his parents and had missed the worst of it in the city. He had heard the stories from Joe and from Stiffy, but these were all other people’s tales, tales that were so outlandish that he had hardly taken them in and had yet to process them. He was stoned most of the time in Evermarch, which didn’t help. He had heard that thousands of people had died in the city back at the start, but mainly because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time or had pissed off the wrong people. The fact that he was now back at college indicated some return to normalcy.
CHARACTER GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT:
What happens next:
# His family go and hide in abandoned houses up the Garroch Glen.
# JF will go find them once the coast is clear
# The whole Joe / Tucker thing has to play out
# JF will get involved in that. During this time he is back at Uni
# Hears that Wasp and Ellie are in Bricktown
# Manages to get Ellie out, tries Wiz, but in the end is meh. Gets off with Ellie. Show Wasp's death, unwanted and unloved poor thing.
# Also grabs the two old lads out of Joes clutches and hides them in his flat
# Decides to go north
# Stiffy thinks there is something between him and Ellie, and breaks up with him
# Ellie robs the flat and leaves (we tried to stop her! say the old guys)
# He takes them north, finds his folks and sets up there
# He then befriends a French girl who is part of a bunch of DPs from the north or something. (want a W&P second wife vibe here)
# Finally finds love with Tina! haha, that's plenty!!
During this process Johnny is growing into a man. Somehow he has avoided the worst of the Reditus. But with his childhood home burned out and his family just surviving he wonders for his future.
He feels like he can't return to Evermarch.
But - wait and see how the ending plays out. He should really have something big at the end, not just bits and bobs
Meanwhile Tucker is caught by the muta and slain. Joe is alone and turns to drugs, which is no less than he deserves. Too cowardly to kill himself he looks up at Wormwood and drives himself mad.
OLD NOTES
Stiffy die?
JF tries to rescue and fails?
No, don't kill Stiffy ..... coz JF saved her once all ready and killing her shits all over that.
~
Tie it in to the main plot. You need to give a bit of background to Stiffy in earlier chapters.
Have a big baddie, Acton or TTs wife the one that does it Joe as well, with Mr Tucker. 
That's a really interesting dynamic that needs to be explored maybe JF ends up there, during a lock down or whatever?
Joe finds out Mr T is feeing the poofs in an attic. He follows him. He decides to extort him 
~I think we go the Joe, Mr Tucker route.
I think we see the death of Wiz and Ellie from his eyes?? Or they end up in Brick Town maybe
~
JF needs to go through his family stuff etc... hmm!!
With JF it doesn't have to be blood and guts. More affairs of the heart I think
1. bit more with Stiffy, nice stuff
2. Hears from Joe that Wiz and Ellie captured
3. Manages to get Ellie out. doesnt care about wiz
4. Gets off with Ellie
5. Bit of soul searching
6. Goes back to stiffy
Meh ... not sure, is a bit meh. and it makes him look like a twat or maybe he doesn't get off with her, but stiffy thinks he did - and forgives him
He realises its better not to fight it etc as protestations will look like guilt
...
Johnny Frost - Love story with Stiffy. Classic boy looses girl / boy gets girl will do? Nah!
NOTE: No huge drama for this guy. He's a regular dude with a regular life.
His family in peril, He's trapped at the Tower. Goes back to his parents. Family has all gone.
He is mad with worry, but gets word from pals that a lot of folk are hiding out further in the valleys
up Garroch Glen in abandoned houses. Waiting for the all clear. JF sez it must be coz I made it back etc
- I don't want major drama for this guy, but something has to happen :D
Maybe decide when 1/2 way in...
There is the Joe and the gays stuff as well connected to JF. He could get involved in that. Maybe he finds them, Joe is about to sell them out or something. and he bungs them into Beryl and drives them to his mum and dads.
JF has to break up or loose Stiffy I think. He then befriends a French girl who is part of a bunch of DPs from the north or something. I think Stiffy breaks up with him, JF sad. Feels guilty. Knows she's got a bad life but he cant help her now etc. Ech something anyway.
Would be nice to cross over with one other character... or... maybe he meets and falls for Tina or something?
Have Helen notice that Tina is growing into a fine young woman now that she is being properly fed.
