The Protector — Gabriel Mai
Gabriel smiled. “I didn’t know there was a feminine version. Your home sounds so different than mine. I wonder if the entire world is so different. I’ve always wondered what’s beyond the sea that isolates my home, but we aren’t allowed to leave.”
His foot stepped on a rotten floorboard, causing him to stumble as the floorboard broke, but he regained his balance and composure, walking on. He knew the crows were most likely still outside. They needed a way out of this house without being seen by the crows. “When you were on the tower, did you get a good look around? Is there any place not wide open around this building?”

“Hm.” Lucy was still thinking about Gabriel’s previous words. Maybe their homes were near each other; after all, Lucy couldn’t leave her city either. “I… No. Didn’t see anything.”

The Protector — Gabriel Mai
Gabriel kept walking in silence. Without any information, he could do no more but worry about their predicament. After a time, the hallway opened into another room. Gabriel froze, pulling Lucy back. Lit candles flickered on a table inside the room. Gabriel pressed himself against the wall of the hallway before slowly peering inside the room, making sure nothing, or no one, dangerous was inside. Eventually he relaxed, and entered the room.
The room seemed frozen in time. The table in the center had a red tablecloth with a crochet edge of golden thread. Plates were set out before empty chairs, white candles flickered. Gabriel’s foot hit a child’s toy on the floor, making it roll with a rattling over exquisite floral rug. Gabriel glanced down, then immediately looked back at the candles. He approached the table.
“The wax isn’t melting…” He inched his hand closer to the candle flame, then waved his hand through it. “The flame is cold.” He tried to snuff it out, but as he took his fingers away, the “flame” flickered back to life.
I had a thought. Should I add Chase to our merry little band? Or do you think that’d be overboard? I don’t have to add him at all, so if you have any doubts about having him here, I won’t add him.

You can do that if you want! As long as you can handle the two of them lol

Lucy picked up one of the candles. She tried blowing it out, then brought it to her nose and sniffed it curiously. It didn’t smell like anything. But it could be useful if they brought it with them.
On the one hand, the room disquieted both of them, but at least every element was familiar. Lucy even recognized the crochet pattern in the tablecloth. It was almost as if the owner was trying to live a normal life, but didn’t know how.
”They’re not all lit.” Lucy noticed the lightless candles and looked at Gabriel expectantly.

“Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but I think I saw the imp transform into a rabbit. Maybe. There was a lot going on. But maybe that means he behaves like a rabbit too. We could trap him.”

“Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but I think I saw the imp transform into a rabbit. Maybe. There was a lot going on. But maybe that means he behaves like a rabbit too. We could trap him.” Felicity explained.
“That means we need ‘im alive.” Sniper told Soldier.
Soldier looked a little offended by the harshness in his tone, but didn’t say anything.
“All right, so we’re hunting rabbits.” I said, taking a stick and drawing some doodles into the ground to formulate a plan. “Are we going Soldier’s route and letting him swoop down on the first rabbit he sees? Or would you rather have you, me and Sniper go ambush predator and wait for one? Or maybe a hybrid approach, in which we rely on Soldier chasing it to scare it into our trap. That might work if he doesn’t get distracted.”

“Whatever you think is best. But we should use stealth. He’s tricky, and as soon as he knows what’s happening, he’ll disappear, I’m sure.”

Gabriel Mai
“Yes, I see…” Gabriel walked to a set of drawers in a corner, picking up a book from on top. He opened the pages, a pressed, dried flower falling out, rocking to the floor. Gabriel bent and picked it up, then showed it to Lucy. Purple petals, and a white and yellow center. He put it back in the book, then tried to read the words. Eventually, he looked back at Lucy, knowing she’d ask what it said. “I can’t read. at least, not very well, and these pages are dotted with water stains.” He handed the book to her.

(PS. Pfp by SelkieSeal on Unvale. My dear Chase ❤️?)Is there something you want the book to lead up to, or should I make something up?

Make something up, i literally have as much plan as I did with the piano lol.
Confuzzled, RAE
(PS. Pfp by SelkieSeal on Unvale. My dear Chase ❤️?)Sorry about the wait! I spent the afternoon whisking masa, cooking meat, burning my hand on a kettle, etc. Lots of cooking. And I felt I should update the school roleplay first if I had free time.
Make something up
Alright! I had an idea, just give me two shakes

For the first time, Lucy’s face flushed. Gabriel knew she was young, but he didn’t know that while she was a good silent reader, she did not read aloud to people. She put the book on the table and squinted in the candlelight. She stuttered but got through it.

Here we have our victims
Here we have them all
In our labyrinth wonder
Locked within the wallsChosen – though she cannot
Know by how much care –
Girl of snowy hair sees
Midnight everywherePrince with eyes clad green and
Blue within them too
Feline strengths besotted
Might not make it throughGirl who looks and finds things
In a hidden place
Must investigate it!
Moves ahead fast pacedThere he goes – a lost man
Laughs without the fun
Three have taken hold and
Melded into oneGirl – the third! – sees quite well
Knows of other plots
We have planted deep though
She might soon be caughtHunter with her close friends
Marches through the night
Hasn’t lost herself yet
Still a chance she mightMan who has good aim and
Never loses sight
Walks within our walls and
Soon the mist must fightThird within his party –
Man who walks ahead
If he walks too far, he’ll
Sure discover dreadNow Protector crumbles
Standing in the light
Follows those before him
Inner thoughts to fightFighting as a stranger
To her loved ones strung
Heiress without answers
Now so very young.…
When Lucy finished, she looked closer at the bottom of the page. “Th-There’s more ink. More words. But there’s too much water damage.”
