I’m going to just add Carrie for now.
Carrie is fifteen, from a steampunk/fantasy world. She’s about 5’1 and is wearing a long skirt and leather armor, and she has a backpack along with a medium-sized box strapped onto her back, inside the box are extendable robot arms which are remote controlled. She has a dagger and a sword and owns a fire-breathing venomous kitten which is purple.
"Great winds of a derecho, you're a scary bird!"
I’m also going to be writing in third person now.
Carrie
Carrie headed toward the castle, contemplating all the worst outcomes of entering the unknown place. Fire Face followed behind her, yet she payed little attention to the kitten, despite the fact he could start a forest fire. Carrie simply became accustomed to the risk.
After walking silently for not too long, her thoughts were running wild in her head. Carrie finally asked aloud, “Where am I?”
That’s all I have for now. I’m having difficulty thinking of what else to write. Does anyone have a character Carrie can meet?

Okay. You can put those characters wherever you want. Nobody has interacted with Snake yet, but that doesn’t mean you have to.
You can go next in our group.
Ellis
If she didn’t recognize the name ‘Percaro,’ then she probably didn’t know about Árvendor at all.
“You’re from off continent then?” he asked. There were no maps of other landmasses, but they were purported to exist.

Rin cocked her head. “Strahcha.” She said, “I don’t know about other continents. The darkness makes traveling overseas difficult.”
Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.
Ellis
Darkness? What was she talking about?
Conviction said they were in another realm. Was it possible that she was from yet another separate world?
“Well, as much as I would like to figure this out, I have some answers to find,” he said. “You can stay or follow. Just don’t get in the way.”
He started towards the palace again.

Szabrin didn’t know what else to do, so she followed Ellis, if that was his given name. Szabrin could never tell with those tricky foreigner names.
“So, um, Ellis?” She said, after a few minutes of silence, “Do you know what that is?” She pointed at the blazing moon in the sky.

Ellis
Ellis raised an eyebrow.
“What? You mean the sun?”
She had spoken of “darkness.” Did her world have no sun?

“Sun?” Szabrin squinted up at the shining white disk. “I’m starting to think, Ellis Percaro, that you and I do not come from the same world.”

Ellis
Oh, really? said Conviction sarcastically. Why would she think that?
Ellis was thinking the same thing but didn’t day it out loud.
“Well,” he said to Szabrin. “In my world, we have one too. Only half the time though. If it works the same here, it will probably set in a few hours.”

“That sounds… very strange.” Szabrin said, “My world doesn’t have one. It’s dark. All the time.” She shrugged her shoulders and fell silent.

@princesachronicle22 @jonas Sorry, was gonna type this out last night but i was sick
Nahim
“And it’s been a while since I had to learn Trade Tongue.” Nahim huffed. “No offense to you, but it’s a very boring language.” Nahim tossed his sword to his left hand. “Is there any other converse you two wan to make before we go storming the palace?”
"You need French Toast."
Carrie
“What is…” Carrie’s eyes widened as she whispered the words. Not far head of her was a… dragon person?
Was that what all the residents of this land looked like?
Carrie stepped foward, trying to appear confident.
“Who are you?” She demanded.
"Great winds of a derecho, you're a scary bird!"
@beth-torres Oh, he’s gonna be startled when she talks and he understands her.
Snake
A human was approaching. He kept down his still-existing urge to strike at the smaller creature, remembering Chief’s words.
“They’re just small, wingless copies of us–not worth eating, and besides, who in their right mind eats a sentient creature?” he’d told him when Snake had asked if the Spartanwings knew what humans tasted like.
Ah, the big green and gray Spartanwing was a good friend…..
If only he were here.
The human–a vixen [dragon term for female]–came closer. “Who are you?” she asked.
Humans spoke Dragonish?
“Hello.” he said, crouching onto all fours so he could see her better. She had a little catlike animal trailing behind her. “Call me Snake. Are you a native of this world, and if so….where is this place, and why isn’t my magic working?”
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
Carrie
Fire Face hissed and arched his back, his purple fur sticking straight up as Snake came down on all fours. Carrie took a step back, half expecting Snake to attack.
“My name is Carrie. And, I’m not a native.” She frowned, shaking her head. “I don’t know where we are. You’re not from here?”
"Great winds of a derecho, you're a scary bird!"
Kate
“No. I’m ready.”
What’s Trade Tongue?
That’s all I have for now.
Since you brought up languages, what are we saying for those? Are they all automatically able to subconsciously speak English? (From my understanding, Trade Tongue is English, correct?) My characters don’t speak English, because it doesn’t exist in their world. Should we just say that Nahim is the only one who notices that everyone is speaking it since he’s the only one who knows it exists?
(I am probably completely overthinking this 😆)
