@whalekeeper @rae (is Chase going to follow?)
Ellie
Ellie didn’t know why she followed him out of the room instead of staying behind with Chase. He was confusing and a little annoying, but her curiosity won over her frustration.
The hall was empty except for the two of them. Ellie had to trot a little to catch up.
“I’d appreciate a warning next time before you decide to shove me under a desk,” she grumbled.

Oh mam, I forgot why Jr thinks that XD
THIS CHARRIE DRIVES ME NUTZ!!!!!!!!! (well, more nuts than usual anyways…)
I’ll make something up.
Jr
“Well said, Sir Hugo, indeed, I am a rebellious warrior who often goes too far by other people’s standards. As for integrity, I found many of the people here do not trust who they should. I have heard teachers scoff at justice, and the mention of honor brings a blank look. True, justice in the hands of man is not always true justice, but simply a corruption in a different guise, but that sdoes not mean it is wholely corruption. Honor is almost gone from this place. You are one of the few in which I see a spark. They turn upon each other, and blame the innocent. Make promises they don’t intend to keep and support the sinful. I’m not saying my culture doesn’t have those who do such things, but because our Code, it is easier to find a true gentlemen among the Realn, than among these. That is what I mean, in words you understand. I could tell you more accurately what I mean in Realn, but I know you won’t understand. Your language is bland, words are hard to give meaning to.”

Oh dear, did that make sense at all????!
I’m tired.

Chase
Chase almost got up and followed the two, but stopped himself. Mrs. Marshall wouldn’t want it that way. She’d want him to stay where he was until the teacher came back, reading…not doodling.
Chase took the pencil up in his fingers and erased the last two doodles on the page of his book. After he brushed away the little eraser bits, he broke his pencil graphite on the desk, and left the pencil there. Carefully marking his spot and closing the book, Chase folded up his doodle pages and put them in his pocket with the one he planned to give to Marcel. Then, leaving only the pencil and piece of graphite, along with a couple pieces of eraser, Chase picked up his book, tried n vain to get comfortable in his chair and began reading as best as he could.
Yes, this is what Mrs. Marshall would want him to be doing; she’d be proud of him. And that was what mattered.
I’m so proud of him rn.

Sebzter
“Sorry for touching you.” Seb hopped up a staircase and waited for Ellie to catch up. “Touching is the worst. But I didn’t want to burn your eyebrows off.”
“You still could have warned me beforehand. I like knowing that something might kill me.” Ellie flicked her tail emphatically.
“Maybe. I guess I wanted to forget the concept of cause and effect.”
They reached the second floor. Just as Seb remembered, the glass-lighted wood and marble looked a lot more cared for, Any students behaved themselves, not acknowledging the two smaller adolescents.
Seb fell back against the wall and studied the alien, dimples glowing with excitement. “Now, my new friend, think. All the teachers’ offices are here, and all breaks take place somewhere nearby. What kind of troublemaking will fetch us stereotypical troublemaker reputations?”
Chase will be the most studying for everyone in detention combined 😂
Oh mam, I forgot why Jr thinks that XD
Happens to the best of us XD
Oh dear, did that make sense at all????! I’m tired.
You’re fine! I’m sorry about Hugo’s thought process, but it’s the only place he can speak his mind, so he tends to be a little more glass half empty.
Hugo
And did this Code allow a warrior to attack on a whim?
Hugo decided, as he so often did, not to argue. Nahim still struck him as sanctimonious, but then again, who wasn’t? At least the.man stuck up for himself. “Never mind. Thanks for implying I’m a gentleman. Gaining honor is hard, I must say, in fact -“
He realized Nar still stood there, and stepped to the side with a sweep of the arm. “You know what, why don’t you talk? I need to restrain my emotional urges. Are you a real academic, Nar, or would you describe yourself as bad in school?”
“Everything is a mountain”
Nar
“I wouldn’t say I’m bad at school. Just certain things are harder for me. Like debate. Or science.”
“If something is not related directly to what her job is, assume she finds it hard, annoying, and unrelated,” Jr interrupted. Then he pointed a finger at Hugo. “I must go now, I’m running a personal errand, but I will not forget about that punch.” With that, Jr turned and walked away with long strides.
“Jr’s right, my life is very much rotated around my apprenticeship. And yours?”
"You need French Toast."
Hugo
Hugo watched the guy go. “My life rotates around my little brother, and wherever we run off to for our next job. Sometimes home is a theater, or a traveling circus. Seb has a habit of injecting those experiences into his idea of life, while I just try to blend in.”
He stretched his arms behind his back and winked. “I actually picked up contortion skills at the circus. That was a ticket into the inner ring at the White Carnival. I can learn anything if I put my mind to it, but physical grace – acrobatics, acts of balance – those are my best bet. O-Or fashion.”
“Everything is a mountain”
Nar
“Wow, that’s, that’s nice…um, if you don’t mind the question, what is a circus, and a carnival?”
"You need French Toast."
Maybe epic fantasy characters need to go through a briefing class on modern culture XD I just gave my charries that knowledge without explanation. This kiddo is from a Roaring Twenties fantasy, so technically he shouldn’t understand anything either XD
Hugo
“Oh, um,” Hugo laughed, “Have you ever seen something that is just meant to spark wonder? Something you thought a human being couldn’t do?”
Nar nodded.
“A circus is filled with people who have special talents, and travel the world to perform in front of others. A carnival is a huge extension of that, and people go there just to have fun and see the craziest things.”
The White Carnival also doubled as an artificial light, pressing against Lovedream’s boundaries. Now, thanks to the boys’ efforts, the light had recently been shut off.
“But surely you have something like that in your world,” Hugo said.
“Everything is a mountain”
Nar
“Oh, yes, we do. Though, last time i went t one, i was a little girl on Rea, just after my father stepped down from emperancy. Since then, I only see those type of things at festivals. Oh the festivals! We attend an annual Ward one, on Banor, celebrating the birth of the Mother of the Ward before even the Middle Ages, which ended over ten thousand years ago! Then, we go to the festival on Rea to celebrate the rise of the new emperor who is leading us in the Grathmere war. But if i want a daily thrill, if I’m on Laxor, I can ride a Leavar, over lava! Of course I have to wear my armor to protect me from the heat, but it is so much fun. Oh1 And flying with a dragon, like the original Dragonwings is also a wonderful thrill.” Nar sighed. “You’d love my culture I believe, though it is kinda strict. But when you grow up with the Code, you don’t realize it.”

@whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed
Hey, so since Pax and Wolfie aren’t doing anything right now think we could join someone else’s group/convo?
What is everyone doing rn? I wanna RP as Pax again but kinda need something to RP XD
Freedom is that ok with you?
Whaley could you fill us in and is there any group we could join or no?
#IfMarcelDiesIRiot
#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSebOoh sure!!
The only things I’m are aware of are these: A new girl Esper (@smiley) is talking with one of Freedom’s charries in a girls’ dorm, @esther-c is playing with Hallie and Easton, Seb and Ellie just broke out of detention and are exploring the second floor, Chase is in detention, and Hugo and Nar (@rae) are talking in the halls about circuses and festivals… because that’s just where the conversation went XD
Btw, if one of my characters would ever hug Paxton just because, it would be Hugo XD Healing people’s trauma is literally his thing. Not that they have to meet, but I just find it funny that Marcel ended up the “cool older kid” when he doesn’t handle trauma as much.
“Everything is a mountain”
Although Hugo is new, so ofc he hasn’t met as many people.
“Everything is a mountain”
Hugo
Hugo blinked, then slowly grinned, cocking his head. “I’m going to pretend I understand, because you’re too pretty to disappoint.”
