@loopylin ok here
Styx
Dante, squeezed between some students, was completely unaware of the wispy blue pixie hovering right behind his head. Styx, suppressing a malicious smile, tapped him on the shoulder and vanished. His mocking, distorted, high-pitched giggle warped through the air.
Styx reappeared, just out of sight of Dante’s huge eye, and tapped his other shoulder. Again he vanished, and again his horrible, haunting laugh reached Dante’s ears. It seemed to come from everywhere at once.
Then Styx, full of confidence, transmogrified himself into a large, lizard-like creature that looked convincingly like Ace and stepped into Dante’s field of vision. But when the alien blinked, Styx had vanished again in a peal of eerie glee. The students directly next to Dante began to realize something was not right.
Then Styx played a nasty trick indeed. Just as Dante thought it was over, Styx appeared right on the tip of his nose. As the students next to him screamed, Styx yanked Dante’s huge eyelid shut and sealed it with a dab of pixie glue. Styx was about to start braiding Dante’s hair when he heard a familiar voice.
“Up to your old tricks again, I see. This time, I shan’t let you out of the jar!” Calligripho lunged, glass jar outstretched, but Styx vanished, leaving Calligripho to plant his jar squarely on Dante’s nose. Calligripho, startled, quickly removed the jar. “Are you alright? That pixie really did you in, didn’t he?”

@loopy that glue can only be unstuck by fire (luckily for Dante), and Calligripho is an expert on the pixen race and their ways. Somehow I don’t think many people are going to be sleeping tonight.

@whalekeeper isn’t the only one who can make memes

I love it.
Dante definitely doesn’t like schools now.

@loopylin could he possibly board with Calligripho, Yeamano, and Bagico? The boy’s dorm is kinda lonely with only three guys all owned by me

I’ll draw the clothes sometime before the dance so you can see them. I abide by this mantra: “To be truly elegant one should not be noticed.”
Narana
“There’s nothing here! Nothing at all!” exclaimed Yerdua, standing in a pile of discarded dresses.
“What do you mean nothing? What’s all this?” Bagico was confused.
“Nothing my size!”
Nana had to admit, she had a point. She and Manly were having the same problem. Apparently, faeries and dwarves didn’t visit this place often.
“This is a pickle,” mused Manly.
“And where do we put the pickle?” a voice asked from another aisle. “In the middle, of course!” Around the corner stepped a wee little man with a hooked nose and a twinkle in his eye. “What will the pretty ladies give me if I makes dresses for them?”
“Don’t agree to it! Don’t-” warned Nana, but it was too late.
“The first dance,” accepted Yerdua quickly. “Besides,” she assured Nana, “I know his name. I can just do the name challenge, and I won’t have to dance with him!”
“It won’t work,” mumbled Yeamano. “It never does.”
Everyone watched as Yerdua brought a dress to the little man, a slender, brown, tall, warm woolen dress with a green sash. The man pulled a needle from his pocket, poised it above his head, and then stitched so furiously that his hand was a blur. He finished almost before he had started, and presented a short, wide dress just Yerdua’s size. He turned to Narana.
She hesitated. Yeamano shook his head violently. She looked from him to the little man with the rumpled skin. Then she got an idea. “I will give the first dance,” she offered. Yeamano smiled, and the little man’s face screwed up.
“Fine. I gives this one to the pretty lady for free because she outsmarts me. The pretty lady should consider herself lucky that I is so generous,” he grumbled. Nana handed him a short faun linen blouse and a pale green skirt and almost immediately was given them back, up to her size.
Yeamano inspected the aisles. “There doesn’t seem to be anything here for me.”
Nana punched him playfully in the arm. “That’s because this is the women’s department, silly.”
He shook his head and smiled. “That’s just the thing. The whole store is the women’s department!”
“Well, I think what we’re wearing is the best we could do here. What do you say we call it a day?” Bagico suggested.
“Oh, no you don’t,” countered Yerdua. “There are still twenty-seven shops we haven’t visited yet! Come on!” And she dragged him away.
“Let’s leave them to it, shall we?” Yeamano said. He and Nana made their way out of the shop, and sat on a bench in front of an indoor fountain. Manly pulled out his mandolin, and Nana took her fiddle and bow. Softly, Manly strummed a few notes, and the melody drew out his voice. As he began to sing the Lleurodd words, Nana joined in, and their voices blended in sweet, painful, haunting, yearning harmony. Their song, in words no creature of that world could understand, carried them away.

I’m creating my own language with the same pronounciation as Welsh, so “Lleurodd”, the name of the language, would be pronounced with a rolled r, and the dd is a th as in the sound. The ll is pronounced like you are making an l sound, but blowing the air instead of using vocal chords. It’s all very complicated, but these words crop up here and there, more and more.
For example, “Droth” is dragon, and “Drygoth” is a sort of half-formed dragon, almost but not quite. Cymry dragons, and dinosaurs fit into this category. I’ll explain the dragons at another time. They’re still forming.
November 2, 2023 at 10:29 pm #162672Yeah, he could board with them. He isn’t technically enrolled in the school, though, he’s just using it as cover. So Calligrapho might have to invite him or something.
Lol I can’t believe they just knowingly made a deal with Rumpelstiltskin for a couple dresses. XD

That sounds really cool! I love your world building so much.

Uhm, since this is Teenage AU Loki, I’d say no, he doesn’t have ice powers 😅
Alright sounds good thanks
Skylar
“Hmm…you have quite the preference, Skylar,” he saw where she went and quickly followed her, “and hey, what are you doing over here? You don’t have to buy from the clearance section…find anything you like anywhere.”
Skylar flashed a smirk. “Being careless with your money isn’t necessarily attractive,” Skylar grabbed a hanger, showing a green suit with gold buttons and a gold pin. “And you never know what you can find in this section,”
Skylar handed the suit to Loki and gave an excited smile. “Now this is a suit I approve of, and it will be amazing with whatever dress I get,”
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneNovember 3, 2023 at 12:22 am #162695Burning the glue off will be Dante’s first instinct anyway, so that makes things easy.
Dante
Something tickled Dante on the shoulder as he followed the crowd of students. He brushed it off and kept walking. Again, something touched his other shoulder. This time, it felt like someone poking him with a twig. He glared over his shoulder, but no one behind him looked like they were trying to get his attention. Somewhere nearby, someone let out a rather annoying laugh that echoed around him.
Dante huffed and ran a hand through his hair. He was just being jumpy. There was no reason to be nervous. It was nothing. He turned to continue walking, and froze. There, a few paces ahead, stood Ace, his face twisted into a mischievous smile. Dante hadn’t seen Ace smile in over three years. Had the lizard finally cracked?
He glanced around quickly, looking for an exit strategy or, at the very least, a weapon. But when he looked back at Ace, he was gone.
“What-”
Something grabbed Dante’s face and shoved something sticky onto his eyelid. He tried to wipe it off and realized that his eye was glued shut. A shrieking laugh rang in his ears. Dante took a few steps back and tried rubbing whatever it was out of his eye.
“Up to your old tricks again, I see. This time, I shan’t let you out of the jar!” a voice declared right in front of him.
Dante heard a shuffle and then suddenly felt something hard hit him right in the face.
“Oi! Watch it!” He shoved someone off of himself and then immediately returned to rubbing his eye.
“Are you alright? That pixie really did you in, didn’t he?”
Dante simply responded with a frustrated growl.
He had to get this gunk off his eye. Carelessly, he pulled out his lighter, flicked it on, and shoved the flame in his face. The stuff burned away easily, and he blinked away ashes.
Finally, he looked up. A skinny kid stood in front of him, peering at him curiously through thick glasses. Dante ignored him and spun in a circle, scanning the crowd for a familiar face. Ace was nowhere to be seen. He turned back to the boy and snatched the jar from his hand. Then he examined it for a short second and fixed the kid with a suspicious look.
“That thing your pet or something?”
(Just to make it clear, Dante isn’t actually very angry with Calligrapho. He’s just angry in general. He’ll chill out in a few moments.)

November 3, 2023 at 12:21 pm #162745What’s the name of the town/city they’re in?
No idea. All I know is the school’s name, Destina Tasin.
I don’t really understand that, but it sounds really cool. XD
Thank you, I’ll take it as a compliment XD
Ooo I have a character from Lois and Felicity’s world who’d be perfect as a school nurse! Do we already have one of those?
Sounds like a plan to me! So many characters get hurt, after all 🤪
Also THOSE MEMES, the first one got me sooo bad! 🤣🤣
WHALEY!!!! THOSE MEMES WERE AMAZING!!! 😂😂
I’m trying to help my 5 year old cousin with his school work but I kept getting distracted with all of these. 🤣🤣
Perfecto!! *Mischievous laughter* Exactly what they are meant to do!
(and tirion does need more screen time, though he’d probably argue against that. XD)
He does! I was reading Riya’s RP, and I was like, “Huh. Kid’s got just a nice hint of spunk. We need that more often!”
@freedomwriter76
WHALEY!!! THE MEMESS!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE THEM ALL SOOOO MUCHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
the ones with the charries I’m RPing as are wayyyy too fittingggggg
they all are!!!
I love these so much
you just made my day
YUUS AaaAagh I’m glad you like them ❤️❤️😘 Honestly I could go on all day making these memes but of course I can’t 🤣 Maybe I’ll make some more for next week!!
And now everyone wants to make memes, so I guess I prompted something 😂
Thx 😘❤️
Space velociraptors and demidragon clones are my THING, for sure.
🤣 Totally; I can guarantee I know no one else who has characters like those. I mean, other than the fictional character of Rex Dangervest.
Except in his TV show, Loki does get a girlfriend, but she kinda hates him and loves him at the same time, and…idk it’s hilarious, but the showrunners always seem dangerously close to splitting them up for good, but it’s really the only viable ship that can exist in this series and it’s a hilarious one so I really, really hope they don’t ruin it.
Just started watching the show, and I was gonna ask Freedom and Miley if they knew about it 😂
I’ll draw the clothes sometime before the dance so you can see them. I abide by this mantra: “To be truly elegant one should not be noticed.”
PFF Seb would so disagree with you 🤣🤣 I do follow that mantra tho, to a degree.

The pixie is Styx because I thought of sticks because they haunt the forest, and I messed with the spelling. Also, it sounds cool, but I also was aware of that ol’ river of the underworld. The letters x, z, q, v, and k are not in the language, so the pixies purposefully make their names impossible to write. He’s not undead. Just imagine a blue, translucent Tinker Bell with a tall pointy face and that’s what they look like. They love playing pranks, regardless of how much damage it does.
I just remembered, my characters are also not enrolled, and are undercover as well. We can all just hang out in a couple empty dorms or the attic or something.
Calligripho
The scribe blinked in surprise as Dante opened a small box and fire issued from it. Enchanted… interesting. He noted how the one-eyed boy burned away the glue without hesitation. He knows more than he seems to. A most valuable ally.
The students around them gave them wide berth as they passed by, some casting suspicious glances at the two.
“That thing your pet or something?” The miniature cyclopes glared at Calligripho.
Calligripho snorted. “Certainly not! He plagued my friends and me on our recent mission relentlessly, until I finally captured him in this jar here. The Pixen can pass effortlessly through any material except glass and iron. Would that I had ended him when I had the chance! But I do not think we are yet acquainted. I am Calligripho, royal scribe to His Majesty King Karlenio of Stonestia. Who are you?”
