Heeyyy, I have grapheme-color synesthesia too.
Sorry, I still get notifs from this even though I lost track of where I was, lol. I have consistently forgotten to unsubscribe.

February 26, 2024 at 3:03 pm #176743I can go ahead and add her real quick, and I’ll let you take over. =)

Fork the GorkFebruary 26, 2024 at 3:07 pm #176744February 26, 2024 at 3:10 pm #176745Really?! I may be coming to you with questions then, if you don’t mind. I want to write her right/real, but I’m pretty sure I don’t have synesthesia (although I do have a pretty strong association of music and colors).

Fork the GorkFebruary 26, 2024 at 3:26 pm #176750Sure!! I did a whole research paper on it back in 9th grade when I first found out. If you have it and you find out the baseline symptoms – actually seeing colors\etc – you immediately know you have it, for suresies. It’s like the closest imagination can get to reality.
I also associate time (days of the week and months) with colors, piano keys with colors, numbers with colors, genders and personalities, and a few other random things.

The hall went quiet for a moment but for the quiet patter of footsteps. A quiet patter that was practically shuddered in my head due to its sheer volume, or rather lack thereof. I shrugged to Raffe when he glanced my way and kept a faint smile in position.
Beeeeeep.
Great. I casually slapped a hand over my wristwatch as if it hadn’t just-
Beeeeep.
I flicked the watch face to silence it and glanced at it as it quickly changed to a tiny screen. Raffe ignored me, having obviously remembered to silence his watch when civilians arrived, and not about to draw attention to my…bit of a pickle.
Someone was coming
“What is that sound?” Marek had stopped, his head tipped as if he could hear better that way.
“Huh?” I glanced around.
“I don’t hear it anymore.”
I glanced around and shrugged. “Okay.”
The rest of the group had stopped now, but the footsteps hadn’t. Footsteps, close by and coming closer. Raffe turned slightly to glance behind him, apparently picking up what my ears and watch had already told me.
Someone was coming, and that someone had a shoe that squeaked, and was probably about five foot counting by the stride length.
You know that look that comes over a cat’s face when it realizes you’re coming to take it to the vet and it can’t evade you? It’s like an instant guilty conscience and everyone is trapped red handed. Leon was walking again. Raffe touched his pocket.
I grinned.
A girl stepped out from around a corner, her left shoe scuffing the ground a bit with each step. She froze.
I froze.
Then laughed.
“Emma!”
“GoodgravyJaybirdI’dhaveblownyou–Oh! Mornin’ y’all.” She smiled and gave a small wave. “Raffe. See you’re still in one piece.”
“Hi, Amanda.”
She nodded and smiled, turning to everyone else and sliding an unsuspicious black pen back into her pocket. It was kinda sickening to realize how close we were to being blown. You wouldn’t have guessed from the smooth friendliness of her tone. “See y’all’ve picked up a bit of a troop. I’m Ammanda.”

Fork the GorkFebruary 26, 2024 at 4:42 pm #176771@koshka I love her already XD @smiley
Leon
Leon stared at the new girl. She was…was…he didn’t even know what to think and especially say.
Isaiah smiled and rose a hand in greeting. “Shalom, Amanda. I am Isaiah Altmann, and this is Leon Wagner. It is a pleasure to meet you.”
Leon crossed his arms across his chest and leaned back against one of the castle walls, listening as Marek and Eleanor introduced themselves.
February 26, 2024 at 5:45 pm #176787Also, hehe, what year did you pull Leon and Isaiah from for this RP? Because…
Half Raffe’s family is Israeli, and he has dual citizenship. So, is Raffe a citizen of a country that doesn’t even exist yet, or is he part of a really controversial state?
What time did you say Marek and Elenore are from? Cause timelines just boggled my brain. And introduced some possible aspects for… character interaction.
Raffe and Jay are contemporary, which means this is going to be interesting if we end up with three different view points on WWII.

Fork the GorkFebruary 26, 2024 at 5:48 pm #176789@koshka Prob 1945 or so.
so yeah. They wouldn’t know Israel as a country yet 😂
February 26, 2024 at 5:50 pm #176790@whalekeeper synesthesia is actually really cool!! What colors do you think of for time? Numbers? Personalities?
"When in doubt, eat cheese crackers."-me to my charries who don't even know about cheese crackers
February 26, 2024 at 5:50 pm #176791Eleanor (warning her thoughts may get to a line of depression… *cries for her*)
Marek smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, I’m Marek, and this is Eleanor,” Marek gestured to Eleanor, and she froze, cowardly she’d admit, but it was how she felt.
Eleanor felt like she needed to guard herself around men, but women made her feel vulnerable like they could see right through her. “Nice to meet you,” Eleanor didn’t know if she sounded cold, she hadn’t been trying to, and she knew everyone was walking eggshells around her and for that Eleanor was sorry.
She hasn’t been a joy, but then again neither has Leon, she just struggled to understand why she should be nice to a world that had never been nice to her. Why she should pretend to be warm and full of life when not that long ago she had found life completely unlivable?
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneFebruary 26, 2024 at 5:52 pm #176792BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Ahem.
*Whispers* let’s confuse the living daylights out of them, out of them all, shall we?

Fork the GorkFebruary 26, 2024 at 6:00 pm #176793So you see freedom’s charries take place at basically the end of world war II where mine are from right before WWII
*coughs* uhhh so yeah XD
@freed_and_redeemed koshkaI was debating about adding in Marek’s younger sister who’s about 8 and is blind, but if Y’all don’t want to that’s fine, I just wasn’t sure and that might make the group too big so it’s up to you
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneFebruary 26, 2024 at 6:07 pm #176795@smiley Go on ahead and add her if you’d like!
Trust me, I’ve been in bigger groups😂
February 26, 2024 at 6:22 pm #176799@freed_and_redeemed @koshka
Okay then I’ll add her when it’s my turn to RP again
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
