@freedomwriter76 @koshka Do you mind if I add a character to your group? He’s not mine, never was, but I do some work on his character arc in the fanfic he has a major role in, and it’s a tiny bit like what your characters are going through. I’ll probably introduce him tomorrow if neither of you reply. I’m just waiting for my other group to respond and I really like the roleplay style of this board, so…
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
July 14, 2022 at 4:25 pm #113348I will repeat that I did not create him, so if that’s in any way against the rules of this “game” I won’t go ahead with the plan.

@koshka. Too bad Riker doesn’t have his violin…*sighs*
Riker
“Would you like to sing?”
Singing and Violin.
Two of the things that had pulled Riker out of the darkest parts of his childhood.
The things he’d found an escape in.
“What song?”
July 14, 2022 at 4:57 pm #113359@freedomwriter76
Bummer. Violin is one of Annia’s (and my) favorite instruments.
Mikkel
Mikkel smiled. A real, heartfelt smile, the first since, when?
Just as long as they didn’t wake someone up.

Fork the GorkJuly 14, 2022 at 5:01 pm #113361I don’t think that’s a problem, just as long as you write with them. I’m fine with someone else joining, as long as @freedomwriter76 is.
What time period is he?

@koshka. Well, I mean…I guess he could have it. But how would he be packing it around all this time? XD It’s one of my favorites too. 😉
Riker
“I can do that.”
And he began. One of his mother’s favorite songs. A song full of love. Full of hope. Full of peace and faith.
Once he had sung for a while, Mikkel joined in.
Eva and Ezra stopped in their tracks.
Eva smiled and joined in, and Ezra watched with a smile, Riker noticed, that was actually real.

Yeah…that probably wouldn’t work. XD
Mikkel
It was a beautiful song, the type where each of the words could be felt.
Deep.
Where life still mattered.
Mikkel joined in, swinging one hand in meter.
So long. So very long ago.
He felt like a school boy.
Another voice, sweeter in tone. Mikkel looked up. The others had stopped walking, Eva singing along.
The song ended.

Fork the GorkJuly 14, 2022 at 5:32 pm #113365@koshka He’s extremely futuristic. He comes from the Star Wars universe, so… I don’t think it’ll be too much of a problem though.
@freedomwriter76 ok then, I’ll introduce him tomorrow if I can!

@koshka. XD Yeah.
Ezra
Eva wiped away a tear. “Beautiful.”
“It was a song my mother taught me a long time ago. It was…one of her favorites.”
“It’s very beautiful. Mikkel, you sounded wonderful as well.” Eva smiled a bright smile.
Ezra clapped. “Yeah. Bravo. Now, granted, I couldn’t understand a word any of you were saying…but it sounded good.” He glanced at Eva, then Mikkel, then Riker. “And sorry…to all of you…for being such a jerk. I just…we have no idea where we are and I’m just…being reminded of my best friend Yoshua that…that died in the plane crash I caused.”

Mikkel
The song had been beautiful. It had been a refuge.
“Sorry…to all of you…for being such a jerk. I just…we have no idea where we are and I’m just…being reminded of my best friend Yoshua that…that died in a plane crash I caused.”
Mikkel’s head jerked up, a thousand shattered pictures flashing by.
Oswald.
“Ugh.” Mikkel shook his head. “I mean, I’m sorry, Ezra, for a wound that won’t heal. Not here.”

Eva
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought that up again. Y’all can sing another song…if you want…”
“Ezra, are you okay?” Eva asked, soft.
She was very worried about him.
“I’m…I’m fine. Y’all can sing and have some more fun if you want. I’m going…” Ezra bit his lip, shifted from foot to foot, “I’m going to scout ahead and see if I can find a bedroom to stay in.”
Ezra turned back around.
“Ezra…”
But he was already walking away.

Mikkel
This is your fault. Go after him.
But I didn’t mean…
“Stay here, I’ll be back.”
His feet were already moving.
Two strides. Three. He was running.
“1st Lieutenant Ezra sir!”
The soldier stopped. Perhaps titles are useful.
Mikkel stumbled to a stop, not exactly the most graceful of its kind.
“Yes?”
“Sir, three things first. One,” he held up a finger. “a soldier should never be alone in unknown territory.” now a second finger. “Two, I’m sorry for whatever I said back there sir. Words are not my strong point.” his thumb made a trio. “Three, you outrank me, so I should technically salute and request permission to speak. May I continue, sir?” he brought his flat hand up to his brow, palm out.
and waited for an explosion.
Well haven’t you made a mess of things?
