@godlyfantasy12 awwww š @whalekeeper
Riker
āH-hold h-hand?ā
Riker slowly nodded, smiling gently.
He held Paxton’s hand, firm but gentle.
Leo turned back around. “I have the-”
āAll Iāve got to say is, youāre getting revenge for that scare I gave you the first night.ā
Riker turned to see Marcel in the doorway, whose face was green.
Leo rose an eyebrow. “How did you…? Wait, you’re one of the kids Wolfgang’s talked about.”
Riker turned back to Paxton, gently stroking his cheek. “Doesn’t matter if it’s revenge or not. Paxton needs our help, and unless you’re going to help, we don’t need you in the way.” He turned his attention back to Paxton, smiling gently. “…Me and Leo are about to start, but it might hurt a little. You can squeeze my hand as much as you need to, okay?”
(wow, I didn’t see Riker snapping like that at Marcel š )
@godlyfantasy12 That was actually not terrible…..
but then again I can handle graphic stuff better if it’s written rather than shown. Like, a picture of a horribly scarred back like that might make me cringe, but reading it wasn’t so bad because my brain kinda automatically “censors” violence I read about (unless it involves disembodiment, which is a bit weird but ok).
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

Plz don’t feel bad, girl
It’s a small mess-up. Plz don’t beat yourself up over it.
It’s a way to improve for next time…plz don’t feel guilty about it <3
Donāt worry about me, Iām good ā¤ļø I would just let you know that isā¦ I mean, kinda inappropriate for a middle grade series? Just on like, a gore/violence scale. Like, I would definitely put your series in YA if youāll be adding scenes like that, or as many abuse mentions weāve had on this RP – um, yeah.
I donāt like having to say that because I donāt want you to feel horrible, okay? Just want to make sure, because topics like abuse can affect people just like language might, where theyāll get used to it and actually find satisfaction in it. Writing abuse isnāt bad in and of itself, justā¦ idk what Iām trying to say š
Iām not scarred by it though ā¤ļø
āEverything is a mountainā
@freedomwriter76 @keilah-h thxā¦and yea same Keilah š
@whalekeeper I canāt promise Iāll never have something like written again, but Iāll try to give better warnings next time. I didnāt mean to upset you and I really do apologize. Thatās the last thing Iād want to do to ANYONE.#IfMarcelDiesIRiot
#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSebYeah, like Freedom said, please donāt beat yourself up, Iām not mad š
āEverything is a mountainā
@whalekeeper ah, I gotcha, and yes my series Iāve already found out is going to be more in the YA realm š but Iām actually okay with that, because I would really like to read YA, but am unable to due to its content, so it would be nice to be able to write YA that others like me can read, if that makes sense?
#IfMarcelDiesIRiot
#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSebThere are some great YA books out there, and Iām glad youāre okay with it ā¤ļø
@everyone
Thereās a lot of conflict and sadness on here right now (and Iāve done it too a little, so Iām fine with being thrown under the bus), but I want Pax to be saved so the characters can have some fun and not be depressed all the timeā¦ We need some joy š I almost feel like a wet blanket when saying that, or like I might hurt someone, which I donāt like feeling, but Iāmma say it again – we need joy šš
āEverything is a mountainā
@godlyfantasy12 @freedomwriter76
Hey Godly, this might help š
Marcel
Marcelās wings drooped. āā¦It was a joke, Riker. I was trying to cheer the kid up.ā
He approached the bed, and stood there, stoically expressionless now.
Pax had broken, splintered feather shafts, skin raised in red sores. Nothing seemed salvageable.
Marcel swallowed.
Clenched his fists.
āIf he loses too many feathers, you can take a few of mine and graft them in.ā
āEverything is a mountainā
@whalekeeper GAH MARCELā¦and yes, I agree. Itās time to move on and get things fixed and settled so we can have some GOOD TIMES!!! @freedomwriter76
Paxton
Paxton looked up at Marcel with wide eyes. The boy still looked a bit tired from the fight the day before but he forced a smile, wings drooping.
Paxtonās eyes stung with the sheerā¦gravity of Marcelās wordsā¦
Heādā¦give some of his feathers up? From his wings? Forā¦for Paxton? A flit? A winglessā¦good for nothingā¦.
Paxton bit back a sob.
These peopleā¦all of themā¦
They really were his friendsā¦
They really did careā¦
Before Riker and Leo could finish their assessment and help with Paxtonās wounds, he jumped from the bed, wrapping his arms around Marcel and hugging him tight.
GAAAAH MY HEART!
So Whaleyā¦idk if you know the whole story behind Pax, but one of the main reasons heās hated is because he was born Wingless. So what Marcel just said is likeā¦beyond meaningful.
#IfMarcelDiesIRiot
#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSebLEZ GOOOOOO BROOoOOssss
I knew about the whole wingless thing so I thought maaayybe youād like it š
Marcel
Marcel froze, wings puffed up, as if he had been caught doing something silly.
His cheeks went pink.
Once the hug had loosened a little, Marcel shrugged his leather jacket off, and awkwardly patted Paxās head. āIāve got too many feathers anyway. Itchy things, reallyā¦ā
But his eyes were shinier than jewels.
He turned to Riker, with a completely serious expression now. āSo? Iām sure if it isnāt possible scientifically, thereās some special magic somewhere that would work. I dunnoā¦ A pair of scissors made by unicorn centaurs, or something? Just need the right tools.ā
āEverything is a mountainā
@freedomwriter76 @whalekeeper
Paxton
Paxtonā¦to everyoneās surpriseā¦backed away from the hugā¦.
Giggling.
His bright eyes sparkled with tears as he looked up at Marcel, a small smile on his face. He shook his head, refusing the offer, butā¦grateful for the gesture.
Marcel blinked at the kid in slight surprise, wether because of Paxās laughter or refusal was unsure.
Paxton turned back to Riker and Leo lookingā¦much lighter than before. And brighter. His face shown with a childlike gleam thatā¦he hadnāt had in a while.
He even smiled; a large, bright smile, and giggled too, hopping back up onto the bed to let Leo and Riker finish up, kicking his legs against the bed gently.
The entire change of demeanor seemed to shock the group, but slowly, Leo and Riker got back to work.
Just a bit of explanation because I know this is like a 180 switch, but wings are justā¦a HUGE part of Paxtonās entire CULTURE.
Being born wingless effected his entire life (there are other things at play in the original series and his family but yea). If you lose your wings it effects you (depending on how/why) it can be a mark of shame, a punishment, or a mark of heroism if they were lost due to battle, etc, but even then itās more of a āOh poor soulā and the Icari HATE that because theyāre such a proud people.
But the very idea of someone willingly giving or parting with their wings, or feathers, or anything of the sort; basically any purposeful harming of someoneās wings, for someone else, is likeā¦crazy.
Harming your wings is likeā¦the grossest shame for Icariās.
(you know how when people feel worthless they begin To self deprecate? If you were an Icari, the best way to show you felt worthless would be, well, through your wings. Not caring for them, etc)

So I thought I should get this Rp for my charries out of the way, because it needed to happen to explain some things XD
And for context, in my book projest elites, all of the characters have powers, Evie/Evelyn has telepathic powers, Nash has weather control powers, Skylar/Blizzard has ice powers
Skylar is also a controled soldier, through a chip in her body, her and the other soldiers are only given two emotions, anger and joy (which plays a huge role in her arc)
But anyways, at this school she still has the chip but she’s been given a lot of freedom
Evie
“Blizzard,” Nash nodded at Skylar as she passed him and Evie.
Skylar stopped to look at them, her face going pale. “What are you guys doing here?”
“School mostly,” Evie shrugged.
Skylar was different, she seemed to have more control of herself.
“Who’s the boy you’ve been hanging with?” Nash raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms.
“Loki,”
“Would he approve of your past?”
“Look I don’t think we want to fight in this school, so for everyone’s sake, let’s just leave our backgrounds behind to enjoy school,”
“And when the school year ends?” Nash looked skeptical.
“We go back to Kirion, and handle life there,” Skylar looked confident, but Evie could see right through it.
“The chip, it’s still in you isn’t it?”
“We should go,” Skylar walked off, tears pricking at her eyes.
“She clearly has more emotions now,” Evie stated, seeing the pain in her eyes.
“We should let her live life here, she deserves that,”
Nash smiled at Evelyn.
Do me a favorā¦. Tell Cress I meant it
-Thorne@freedomwriter76 @godlyfantasy12
Lol, I guess he thinks Marcelās partially crazy then XD
Marc is stubborn tho, I know Pax refused, but in case they need him for it, heāll probs stick around.
Marcel
Marcel blinked. āOkayā¦ But it might be best to keep me on hand, Pax, ācause you never know.ā
He could tell just from looking, that some of those broken shafts might be the source of infections, and would definitely have to be removed.
And maybe Pax didnāt want full pairs of wings – which would be more than a little creepy to replace – but at least a few feathers, only aĀ dozen, would make his back look so much stronger.
But the kid was already giggling like a madman at the thought.
Maybe a whole set of flight feathers would send him into a hystericsā¦
Marcel left Pax to be tended to by Leo, and came up to the still surprised Riker. He stretched his broken wing with a soft hiss, to get the kinks out, then pulled out his flip phone. āHereās my numberā¦ Oh, chicken nuggets, donāt look at my contact name, please. My mom has a sense of humor… So if you need some replacements, Iām cool with it, as long as you have anesthetics or something.ā
Riker didnāt seem to know what to say.
Marcel pushed it farther, spreading out his wings until they curled around his phone. āI literally have too many, dude. Just donāt tell Paxton, if you think itāll make him upset. Cool?ā
āEverything is a mountainā
@whalekeeper XD I didnāt even think of that but uhh probably š
*turns to Pax and whispers* Hey, do you think Marcel is a little bonkers?
Pax: *giggles. Nods*
Welpā¦okay denā¦
