Huntress: Well, his list of targets doesn’t mean we had to kill them. Some of them were runaways that needed to be delivered up to the proper people.
Scout: I used to keep track of the animals our brothers caught with us when we were little and would go out searching for squirrels. Sometimes we’d come back with a little more than a squirrel….
Huntress: Like that raccoon. Ha! Soldier woulda loved that.
Leander: “What did the people do with them…? Do you mean they were prisoners…? That makes sense.”
What do you mean by: “Soldier would’ve loved that”? Was he just not there for the moment…? Or is he… ya know? dead?
Sniper: I have. The Ornithiform and Sunekite who shot me and tortured Huntress got what was comin’ to ’em.
Huntress: What he’s not mentioning to you is that they might’ve killed his parents, too.
The what now? And what do you mean by: “you have them”…?
Leander: “So you’re saying it’s okay… that’s good!”
Uhm… I don’t think that’s good…
Leander: “Well, it’s comforting to know that someone else has done it! I mean, killing on revenge and all that.”
Leander… almost everyone you know and love have killed on account for revenge…
Leander: “WHAT???!!!”
Yup! Rapha killed her awful adoptive mother!… Thomas killed that one guy who murdered HIS parents. Celestia has killed her ex-ally and ex-boss. And your father is the one who killed your brother! Well… that wasn’t out of revenge… that was out of over protection for you!
Moral of the story, "always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you."
May 2, 2025 at 8:30 pm #202349“What did the people do with them…? Do you mean they were prisoners…? That makes sense.”
Huntress: Yeah, sometimes. Most of those were a while back ago though, I don’t remember all the details.
Was he just not there for the moment…? Or is he… ya know? dead?
Scout: Nahh, he wasn’t dead. We hadn’t met him back then.
The what now?
Sniper:…What?
Huntress, realizing: Oh! uh…Those are some of the other species that live in the galaxy…our galaxy…whatever. Ornithiforms have birdlike wings and feathered tails, and Sunekites have venom and tails like snakes.
Leander: “So you’re saying it’s okay… that’s good!”
Uhm… I don’t think that’s good…
[Speaking as myself, I think I gotta agree with your author here, Leander.]

May 2, 2025 at 9:26 pm #202350Huntress: Yeah, sometimes. Most of those were a while back ago though, I don’t remember all the details.
Okay…
Scout: Nahh, he wasn’t dead. We hadn’t met him back then.
Oh! That’s a relief!
Leander: “What is he like?”
Sniper:…What?
Huntress, realizing: Oh! uh…Those are some of the other species that live in the galaxy…our galaxy…whatever. Ornithiforms have birdlike wings and feathered tails, and Sunekites have venom and tails like snakes.
Ah! I understand!
Leander: “Same here! There is a lot of species in Kaimor! The only thing is, our species are dead everywhere else in the world. That’s why Kaimor is sooo important!”
[Speaking as myself, I think I gotta agree with your author here, Leander.]
Yup… XD

May 5, 2025 at 1:29 pm #202464“What is he like?”
Huntress: Oh boy.
Scout:…..How do I put this?
Huntress: Intense? Loud and deeply patriotic?
Scout: Yeah. And aggressive. *thinks about all the times he got beat up for a trivial reason*
Huntress: Oh yeah, also, he likes honey. A LOT.
Scout: *wrinkles nose* Don’t remind me of the fact that he sometimes smells like he rolled in it and then stood in the sun for hours to dry himself off.
Huntress: He probably did……

Scout:…..How do I put this?
Huntress: Intense? Loud and deeply patriotic?
Scout: Yeah. And aggressive. *thinks about all the times he got beat up for a trivial reason*

Huntress: He probably did……
Leander: “I shouldn’t have asked…” *Leander seems a little surprised.*
I don’t know whether to say ‘wow’… or ‘ew’…
Leander: “What country- sorry. I mean planet, is he patriotic for?” *Leander corrects himself, picking up on Huntress and Scout’s world, little by little* “And what is that planet like?”
Another question, does he like milk with honey? Or tea with honey? Oh! Or milk tea with honey? Sorry…
Leander: “I am glad he isn’t here… oh hey…. would you guys like to meet two of my friends? I met you three, so how about you meet two more people?”
Moral of the story, "always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you."
May 5, 2025 at 1:54 pm #202473I don’t know whether to say ‘wow’… or ‘ew’…
Scout: Welcome to my life.
“What country- sorry. I mean planet, is he patriotic for?”
Huntress: A whole solar system of planets, actually. The Systemic Republic, where we’re from, is made up of fifty habitable planets and moons, all under one central government. Shawmut, Lygon, and a bunch of others are part of it.
Another question, does he like milk with honey? Or tea with honey? Oh! Or milk tea with honey? Sorry…
Sniper: Never seen ‘im drinkin’ any of that stuff, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.
“I am glad he isn’t here… oh hey…. would you guys like to meet two of my friends? I met you three, so how about you meet two more people?”
Huntress: Sure!
Scout: Yeah, why not?
Sniper: Wouldn’t hurt to meet ’em.

May 5, 2025 at 3:17 pm #202479I know it’s been like a week but I really wanted to answer the_lost-journal’s questions…
and i’m bored… so ima do that. No one can stop me.Do you have any family or friends?
“As a matter of fact, I do! I have three siblings—Frin, Lily, and Iniko—aka my fellow quadruplets. I have a mommy and a dad, a grandma and a grandpa. Two uncles, an auntie, and at least nine or ten cousins. Hello hello.”
“Friends tho? Bruh, I have too many. I have my warrior team… my handball team… some school friends… friends in Eblar…”
[Frin: “You don’t have to name them all, Flazzy.”]
Are you described as a villain or a hero (or just a good or a bad person)?
“Usually a good person… I mean, depends on who you ask…” *shoves history down in a box and tapes it up* “Warriors are heroes, and I am a warrior. I am a hero.”
How would you react to these different scenarios:
Your friend was killed:
“Yoikes. Depends on how they were killed. I’d be sad tho. Maybe take to my room for a while, but I’d come around.”
You were kidnapped:
“Yoi! Also depends on the circumstance. I guess my first instinct would be to try to boom-bang and fight off as many guys as I could. Then I’d try to escape or call for help.”
Your plane crashed and you woke up on an island:
“Oh, you know, this actually happened to me before. But I fell into water and was able to swim to land. I think I, like, got injured on the first or second day because of some…” *rubs tip of nose and squints* “…impulsive behavior. Luckily I crashed with some friends, hello hello.”
“So, it would probably be something similar—either my warrior instincts would kick in or I’d die. Nothing too unusual.”
Your friend is getting married:
“I say, ‘Wow! Congratulations! Who’s the guy or girlie?’”
“You don’t usually invite a lot of people to Burnish weddings, so if they don’t mention me coming to it then well… all I could really do is say wow and buy them a present or something. Hello hello.”
[his idea of a small wedding is fifty to one hundred guest, so phffffff…]
You just defeated your enemy:
“Well, um, that’s a difficult thing to answer because, well, I don’t really have an enemy. My country’s enemy? Ethrin? Well uhhhh that be a hard enemy to defeat, and that’s not really our country’s goal. I-I don’t know…”
And finally, you get reunited with someone you had lost a long time ago:
“I run up to them, I pull them into a large embrace, tears fall from my eyes. And then I smack them real hard, shake their shoulders til their crying as hard as I am, and ask them where they’d been and why they got lost.”
I’ll answer other three questions later….
Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.
May 5, 2025 at 11:05 pm #202500(quick note before we begin… your character has some interesting ways of talking.)
“As a matter of fact, I do! I have three siblings—Frin, Lily, and Iniko—aka my fellow quadruplets. I have a mommy and a dad, a grandma and a grandpa. Two uncles, an auntie, and at least nine or ten cousins. Hello hello.”
“Friends tho? Bruh, I have too many. I have my warrior team… my handball team… some school friends… friends in Eblar…”
[Frin: “You don’t have to name them all, Flazzy.”]
Uh… hello? Why do you say “Hello hello” at the end of sentences? Also WOW! You’re a quadruplet??? What is that even like!? I thought having seven siblings was a bad… but having three siblings all your age would be pretty bad too…
“Usually a good person… I mean, depends on who you ask…” *shoves history down in a box and tapes it up* “Warriors are heroes, and I am a warrior. I am a hero.”
Would anyone say you are a bad person? Or a villain?
“Yoikes. Depends on how they were killed. I’d be sad tho. Maybe take to my room for a while, but I’d come around.”
Yoiks indeed! But what if they were murdered? And you knew who the killer was…
“Yoi! Also depends on the circumstance. I guess my first instinct would be to try to boom-bang and fight off as many guys as I could. Then I’d try to escape or call for help.”
What if you were tied up? How would you escape?
“Oh, you know, this actually happened to me before. But I fell into water and was able to swim to land. I think I, like, got injured on the first or second day because of some…” *rubs tip of nose and squints* “…impulsive behavior. Luckily I crashed with some friends, hello hello.”
“So, it would probably be something similar—either my warrior instincts would kick in or I’d die. Nothing too unusual.”
I feel like this has happened to too many character…But how were you able to swim to land?“I say, ‘Wow! Congratulations! Who’s the guy or girlie?’”
“You don’t usually invite a lot of people to Burnish weddings, so if they don’t mention me coming to it then well… all I could really do is say wow and buy them a present or something. Hello hello.”
[his idea of a small wedding is fifty to one hundred guest, so phffffff…]
That’s pretty close to how it’s here where I live. sixty to one hundred fifty is the usual guest count. But what if you were invited?
“Well, um, that’s a difficult thing to answer because, well, I don’t really have an enemy. My country’s enemy? Ethrin? Well uhhhh that be a hard enemy to defeat, and that’s not really our country’s goal. I-I don’t know…”
Oh! I have a lot of questions from this now! What would your country do if it did defeat Ethrin? And what is your countries goal? Do you think you could ever be friends with someone from Ethrin? What is Ethrin like? Are they trying to conquer you!?!?
“I run up to them, I pull them into a large embrace, tears fall from my eyes. And then I smack them real hard, shake their shoulders til their crying as hard as I am, and ask them where they’d been and why they got lost.”
This makes me glad I am not your friend……… …… … ………… …………… …. .. … …………… . . .

May 6, 2025 at 1:29 am #202501…I may or may not have liked this idea so much I spent three hours writing answers from the POVs of six different characters… I’ll share when it’s not the middle of the night haha.
Also @rae Silvanis’s full name is awesome ^.^
You can pronounce it however you want.
May 6, 2025 at 8:57 am #202510May 6, 2025 at 10:03 am #202512(…long reply warning…sorry…)
(quick note before we begin… your character has some interesting ways of talking.)
😅😅
Uh… hello? Why do you say “Hello hello” at the end of sentences? Also WOW! You’re a quadruplet??? What is that even like!? I thought having seven siblings was a bad… but having three siblings all your age would be pretty bad too…
“Y-You know, good question. I kinda just say it.” *thinks for a moment* “Yeah, no real reason. Just a weird habit.”
“Yup yup. We’re very close. When we were wee ones, we didn’t do anything without each other. Heh, that’s changed a little… well, very little. We, you know, have our troubles… like all siblings do. We’re human after all. But, I’m the oldest, so when things get too out of line I just…” *stops as he realizes he’s exposing himself for bopping his siblings*
“O-Our friends call us the quadsquad.”
“Seven, huh? That’s pretty cool—I love big families. I have a friend with nine siblings… they’re a real mess tho.”
(Note from -G-: I feel like I need to clear the air. He doesn’t hit his siblings hard. It’s nothing really violent, just a bop.)
Would anyone say you are a bad person? Or a villain?
“Oh, yeah, definitely. Maybe not a villain… but maybe a bad person.”
“There’s this one kid… this one girl… we call her Tippy… who goes to my school. I used to tease her a little. She probably thinks I’m a bad feller.”
Yoiks indeed! But what if they were murdered? And you knew who the killer was…
“Murdered!? Oh that would be really terrible! And I know the killer!? My my my. Well um… I guess, I’d feel really terrible and like… report the guy or turn him in to the police. I’d… feel really bad about the whole situation…” *seems to be greatly disturbed*
What if you were tied up? How would you escape?
“Tied up. Hmm… well I’d assess what I was tied up with, where and how I was tied up, and then I’d try to work around that and try to, like, not get killed. If I was how I am right now—with empty pockets—I’d try to bribe someone into helping me. Like, if there were more than one kidnapper. I don’t think I should say this here to the whole wide world, but—” *whispering* “—I’ve got quite a bit of money at home, I could probably offer a big check to whoever would help me. Hello hel—” *stops*
I feel like this has happened to too many character…But how were you able to swim to land?“For real, for real.”
“The plane crashed near the island we ended up on, so it was, like, a very short swim. Not to baost to much, but I’m a preetty fine swimmer.” *pats arm*
That’s pretty close to how it’s here where I live. sixty to one hundred fifty is the usual guest count. But what if you were invited?
“Coolio. In Eblar, you usually invite a ton of people—and I mean it… a ton. I’ve been to Hebnic weddings where there were over five hundred guests. I was like, ‘woah, bro, did you just invite your whole neighborhood?’” *Flaz pauses and looks down at his feet for a moment* “Actually, yeah, that’s what happened. One guy told me he did invite his whole community and his parents’ community… crazy. But that’s pretty common for Hebnics in Eblar.”
“Oh yeah, the question, tho. If I were invited… I’d dress my best and… follow whatever the traditions for that wedding were. We’re pretty classic here in Burne when it comes to weddings and all that jazzy jazz. I probably wouldn’t go alone—Lily would probably want to go too. We share friends so I’m sure the friend getting married would be good with her coming. And that might be a good thing because I have the tendency to do some… impulesive… things and, like, shame myself… so yeah, she’d be nice to have there. A-And my other siblings…… maybe.”
Oh! I have a lot of questions from this now! What would your country do if it did defeat Ethrin? And what is your countries goal? Do you think you could ever be friends with someone from Ethrin? What is Ethrin like? Are they trying to conquer you!?!?
(Note from -G-: I share Ethrin with my siblings, so there is a bit of world building that still needs to be done concerning the relationship between that country and Extroit. Sorry if what he says seems repetitive. 😅)
“I don’t know, actually. We’d be pretty free. The king would probably use the time to try to clean up our country. I don’t think we would take Ethrin’s land because… why would we add more problems to the ones we have.”
“Extroit’s goal? Well, our country’s goal currently is to run a stable economy and stay far far away from war with Ethrin. Our founders came here to be free from the evils of Ethrin, but they want our territories and to reclaim what they believe was already theirs. I mean, bro, leave us alone. We have all sorts of troubles without rumors of war for stupid reasons. We need them to mind themselves, so we can mind oursleves—ya know.”
“Well, I do have some Ethrinian friends. They’re human after all… and not everyone is with those evil schemes. One of my dear Burnish friends has a few Ethrinians at his house, when I think about it. Yeah, they’re good friends of his—“ *Flaz stops* “…wait a minute. Wait a… is he Burnish? I don’t remember—he actually might be Ethrinian too.” *confused expression* “…I-I don’t know. But then again… Ethrinians have stark white hair, and his is literally jet black… I—yeah, I don’t know. That’s too much for my puny brain.”
“What is Ethrin like… well, I’ve only been to Ethrin a couple times. Ethrin is huge. Yeah, really big. It’s the largest country on our planet. And its the only country connected to ours. We’re like twin countries. It’s really advanced technologically, and they have a HUGE military. Their warriors are no joke. Both, um, Ethrin and Extroit are near the top of the world, so it’s really really cold in Ethrin. Like, it’s cold here in Extroit too, but bro, it’s ten times as cold out there.”
“You can come from Ethrin to Extroit, but its harder to go from Extroit to Ethrin. There are a lot of racist Ethrinians near the borders.”
“Yup yup. They are trying to conquer for sure. Ethrin is always looking to acquire our land—gets so annoying after awhile. Most Ethrinians crowd the border, so it seems like there’s not enough land. But they should just go away from the border, where the Ethrinian countryside is. Ethrin has all the land they need without ours.”
This makes me glad I am not your friend……… …… … ………… …………… …. .. … …………… . . .

(it’s fine that it’s long XD)“Y-You know, good question. I kinda just say it.” *thinks for a moment* “Yeah, no real reason. Just a weird habit.”
“Yup yup. We’re very close. When we were wee ones, we didn’t do anything without each other. Heh, that’s changed a little… well, very little. We, you know, have our troubles… like all siblings do.

“O-Our friends call us the quadsquad.”
“Seven, huh? That’s pretty cool—I love big families. I have a friend with nine siblings… they’re a real mess tho.”
Thanks, your family sounds pretty cool too! And I didn’t mean to insult you are anything…
“Oh, yeah, definitely. Maybe not a villain… but maybe a bad person.”
“There’s this one kid… this one girl… we call her Tippy… who goes to my school. I used to tease her a little. She probably thinks I’m a bad feller.”
Wow, so you’ve bullied someone before…? That’s a little surprising.
“Murdered!? Oh that would be really terrible! And I know the killer!? My my my. Well um… I guess, I’d feel really terrible and like… report the guy or turn him in to the police. I’d… feel really bad about the whole situation…” *seems to be greatly disturbed*
So you wouldn’t track them down and kill them…? Sorry… that was uncalled for XD and what if it was one of your siblings? Or someone else who is really close.
“Tied up. Hmm… well I’d assess what I was tied up with, where and how I was tied up, and then I’d try to work around that and try to, like, not get killed. If I was how I am right now—with empty pockets—I’d try to bribe someone into helping me. Like, if there were more than one kidnapper. I don’t think I should say this here to the whole wide world, but—” *whispering* “—I’ve got quite a bit of money at home, I could probably offer a big check to whoever would help me. Hello hel—” *stops*
Ah! So you’d try to talk your way out of it, with money? Interesting. What if they didn’t respond? Do you think you’d try to fight then?
*Celestia walks by, she stops as soon as she hears the word, “money”… She peers in through the window*
“For real, for real.”
“The plane crashed near the island we ended up on, so it was, like, a very short swim. Not to baost to much, but I’m a preetty fine swimmer.” *pats arm*
Got it! I thought you were saying you swam off the island and made it back to civilization 😂 but anyway! How did you escape the island?
“Coolio. In Eblar, you usually invite a ton of people—and I mean it… a ton. I’ve been to Hebnic weddings where there were over five hundred guests. I was like, ‘woah, bro, did you just invite your whole neighborhood?’” *Flaz pauses and looks down at his feet for a moment* “Actually, yeah, that’s what happened. One guy told me he did invite his whole community and his parents’ community… crazy. But that’s pretty common for Hebnics in Eblar.”
Wow…. imagine how much that would cost…
“Oh yeah, the question, tho. If I were invited… I’d dress my best and… follow whatever the traditions for that wedding were. We’re pretty classic here in Burne when it comes to weddings and all that jazzy jazz. I probably wouldn’t go alone—Lily would probably want to go too. We share friends so I’m sure the friend getting married would be good with her coming. And that might be a good thing because I have the tendency to do some… impulesive… things and, like, shame myself… so yeah, she’d be nice to have there. A-And my other siblings…… maybe.”
Nice! I have only ever been to one wedding in my life, but it was pretty fun! What kind of traditions do you have?
(Note from -G-: I share Ethrin with my siblings, so there is a bit of world building that still needs to be done concerning the relationship between that country and Extroit. Sorry if what he says seems repetitive. 😅)
*(that is pretty cool!)*
“I don’t know, actually. We’d be pretty free. The king would probably use the time to try to clean up our country. I don’t think we would take Ethrin’s land because… why would we add more problems to the ones we have.”
Is the king a good king?
“heh…. a good king? No such thing!” *Celestia chuckles quietly from the hallway*
And would he have the money to fix all the main problems?
“Extroit’s goal? Well, our country’s goal currently is to run a stable economy and stay far far away from war with Ethrin. Our founders came here to be free from the evils of Ethrin, but they want our territories and to reclaim what they believe was already theirs. I mean, bro, leave us alone. We have all sorts of troubles without rumors of war for stupid reasons. We need them to mind themselves, so we can mind oursleves—ya know.”
So you’re saying it’s not very stable…? But that is your to stay stable, and to peaceful? Nice.
“Well, I do have some Ethrinian friends. They’re human after all… and not everyone is with those evil schemes. One of my dear Burnish friends has a few Ethrinians at his house, when I think about it. Yeah, they’re good friends of his—“ *Flaz stops* “…wait a minute. Wait a… is he Burnish? I don’t remember—he actually might be Ethrinian too.” *confused expression* “…I-I don’t know. But then again… Ethrinians have stark white hair, and his is literally jet black… I—yeah, I don’t know. That’s too much for my puny brain.”
Do they ever act racist? Or act rude to you…? Sorry, I bet they don’t… well… if they’re good friends that is…
“What is Ethrin like… well, I’ve only been to Ethrin a couple times. Ethrin is huge. Yeah, really big. It’s the largest country on our planet. And its the only country connected to ours. We’re like twin countries. It’s really advanced technologically, and they have a HUGE military. Their warriors are no joke. Both, um, Ethrin and Extroit are near the top of the world, so it’s really really cold in Ethrin. Like, it’s cold here in Extroit too, but bro, it’s ten times as cold out there.”
What were the people like to you? Did they treat you well? Did you have to pay extra taxes on goods?
“You can come from Ethrin to Extroit, but its harder to go from Extroit to Ethrin. There are a lot of racist Ethrinians near the borders.”
That’s what I imagined…
“Yup yup. They are trying to conquer for sure. Ethrin is always looking to acquire our land—gets so annoying after awhile. Most Ethrinians crowd the border, so it seems like there’s not enough land. But they should just go away from the border, where the Ethrinian countryside is. Ethrin has all the land they need without ours.”
That reminds me a lot of this one story, called Call of the Bog Owl. It is really similar to your world…

May 6, 2025 at 5:00 pm #202538Here we go, introducing Peri, Hazel, Mabel, Ester, Sebastian and Julia, my characters from various universes! I’m using a handful of questions I picked up from the archives. These aren’t even all the answers but I don’t want to make a post that’s a mile long and I’m gonna wait to see if people want more. Feel free to ask me or any one of these characters questions if you’re so inclined 🙂
What’s your favorite food?
Peri: “I’ll never say no to potato chips. Specifically sour cream and onion. *smirks* What, you didn’t expect that answer? You expected something more along the lines of salmon meunière? Heh, must be the clothes.”
Hazel: “I’ll eat most fruits, vegetables or grains. Corn’s my favorite. Not the healthiest though so I can’t live off it no matter how much I may want to. I despise beets.”
Mabel: “Bugs :>” … *noms passing gnat*
Ester: “A traveler from the far east visited Fellis (my hometown) once and let me try his homeland’s delicacy: chocolate. An inch-by-inch-by-inch cube of it. It was heavenly. Everytime an opportunity passes to taste anything related to chocolate, I will pounce on it.”
Sebastian: “I’ll go for anything sweet. Especially a warm fruity dessert. Ooooooh, I could go for a pie or a cobbler of any kind right now… “
Julia: “Ice cream!!! There’s a burger place down the highway that offers free soft serve with their meals and it is honestly the BESTEST idea ever!”What makes life worth every struggle?
Peri: “Solving problems. Making friends. Getting rewarded for curiosity… for once.”
Hazel: “Those rare moments where I find myself properly bonding with members of my tribe. I can see myself more clearly when that happens. Wish it lasted…”
Mabel: “A good tree to nap in… but who says life’s a struggle?”
Ester: “Sitting under a tree, or on a rivebank, or in a cozy room with a cup of tea and a fire, and just being… present.”
Sebastian: “Those I love. Bottom line. During those times when nothing else matters, they matter all the more.”
Julia: “Hmm… *sparkle hands* The Power of Friendship! Heehee! But seriously, when life gets me down, having friends nearby to comfort me or even just to share a quick moment with perks me up everytime. And when they’re not around, well, every stranger is a potential friend. I guess you could call me a people person!”What’s your greatest achievement?
Peri: “Every project I’m able to finish. Every problem I’m able to solve. Also this.” *holds up large warhammer powered with electricity which she crafted herself*
Hazel: “I saved my sister once. During a raid. Manage to club down a bandit before he could shoot an arrow at her. I don’t always get a chance to really protect anyone in my clan so… that was really somethin’.”
Mabel: “The rat I caught yesterday. You shoulda seen it! Too bad I don’t eat ‘em, it coulda fed me for days! >w<”
Ester: “I suppose, killing the dire bear that almost killed Ereb (that’s my father). That’s what it should be anyway. I’m just glad it’s over. I still kept the skull.”
Sebastian: “Ever caught and lifted a small shark out of the water by nothing but a standard fishing hook?”
Julia: “Oh, oh! There was this one time while I was playing four-square at recess I was able to stay king for four whole rounds! FOUR!!! I couldn’t believe it! I was so shocked that on the fifth round I totally stopped paying attention and didn’t catch the ball in time when it hit my square! Oh well, next time my head stays in the game! Hehe~”How would you react if someone insulted you to your face?
Peri: “I don’t usually take it to heart. There’s almost always some underlying reason buried beneath those kinds of words that shouldn’t concern me.”
Hazel: *automatically bristles* *notices herself brisling* “Ahem. Well, I guess now you know. Just add a club-their-skull-in instinct. Heh, heh…”
Mabel: “Insult em back, BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
Ester: *shrug* “Offended.”
Sebastian: “Activate Snark Mode.”
Julia: “Oh, I think I could stand up for myself pretty good. I’d look that bully right in the eye and say… um… sayyyy……. yeah, no, I’d just stand there and cry. Let’s be real, heh… I wish I could think of something clever to say!”If you could have a one-hour conversation with any person, who would it be?
Peri: “Besides the friends I already have…. Depends who I find most interesting that day. If you had asked me a couple months ago…. hm……… ah well. Forget it. Next?”
Hazel: “My sister, Hever. Not that I don’t already have conversations with her that can last hours uninterrupted. But who else in this world am I going to trust enough?”
Mabel: “Sounds boring.”
Ester: “Maybe- hmmm… It’s hard to pick. I know some great people. Ereb, my mother, my friends from that adventurer gang, *sigh* Orble……”
Sebastian: “Oh. Hmm… That’s… a tough one. There’s my buddy Dwayne. But while we’ve had plenty a life chat it’s not the talkative kind of friendship. We mess around, we chill. Other than that, well… I guess I’ll have to go with… the mayor? You’ve met her, I think. She’s really something, isn’t she. (They’re clueless. Good.)”
Julia: “Oh, don’t make me decide!! I met this new friend Haley not too long ago and her life when she lived in New York City sounds sooooo interesting! But I’ve also been hanging out with Victor more and more lately. Can’t go wrong with him. Ohh but my old friends back in Tennessee! I wonder how they’re doing? I should send Lauryne a letter and see if her parents finally let her get a phone, haha! But I also love Veronica and Joyce and Jason and Darcy and Retta and Pat and Garth and Bennett and Emma and Phoebe and Hugo and……”What would your perfect day look like?
Peri: “A day of discovery. Be it a place I’ve never ventured, a food I’ve never tried, a philosophy I’ve never considered, a new method of thinking, crafting, creating. Bonus points if my curiosity doesn’t bite me in the tail for discovering these things.”
Hazel: “No raids. No fight breakouts. No bad rainstorms or flooding. No hairs on the back of my neck standing on end. I can farm and forage to my heart’s content. Just… peace.”
Mabel: “Lotsa trees to swing on, lotsa food to munch on, lotsa humansfolk to pester, and a good strong limb or cozy hollow log to snooze in. But, that’s everyday anyway. ^w^”
Ester: “It would be quiet. Probably in my forest. Journaling, hunting, talking to a loved one, one or all of those activites. All I would know all day is where I am, and what I see and hear. Nothing to barge in and remind me the complexities of life.
Sebastian: “Anything with a friend or two close by. I’m not picky.”
Julia: “You keep asking such hard questions! Ugh! Would it look like going to the beach? A road trip to Aunt Wanda’s? A helicopter ride? The museum? The zoo? A ShinyShadezz concert? Is it physically possible to manage all of those in one day?? And can I bring a friend? Maybe three? Heck, can we rent a bus?-
