I was thinking it was like cordials. XD

Wilhelm

Yes, he had read about some nobility who did not punish their children, thinking that the rod was only meant for servants  but rarely hearing “no-“! That was unfathomable. He gaped.

“I think there could be many people who could get any of us in trouble. There are guards here for…[Read more]

Then here’s the link to the homeschoolers recipe: h ttps://store.homeschoolinthewoods.com/blogs/words-from-the-woods/how-to-make-mead

I’m wondering if there would be a way to making it like switchel or kombucha, so it would be fizzy like it appears to be in its poisonous (alcohol) form. Some natural carbonation…. But anyway,…[Read more]

@rae

Foraging is fascinating. Definitely please tell us how the next bit goes!

@whalekeeper

FUDGE? Ooooo. It looks deliciously fudgy.

@ellette-giselle

It seems to have!

For aesthetic practical reasons, I’ve decided that Wilhelm was in a back passage before. I’m guessing this is something like a statement staircase.

Wilhelm

“I have never done it before. We don’t have them like this back home.” He laughed a little, despite himself. “I was going to my rooms, but I don’t mind…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ahahhahhahahha!

Thank you for sharing that. Stairs are terrifying.

@ellette-giselle

“No.” Wilhelm had to smile a bit. Now that his head had slowed its spin to something manageable, he felt he could be honest on that part. “A bit battered and off balance, but nothing dreadful. I’ll be better in a moment.”

He glanced back down the stairs. He wasn’t as tired as before. Fear always did wake him up. He grinned.

“I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I am reliving my most recent tumble down a flight of stairs. Unfortunately for me, I was wearing slippery socks. XD The RP is hilarious, but I could smack Wolfgang.

Wilhelm

“Forgiven. I am Wilhelm Kemp.” Somehow the Esquire of the Order of Enlighted Ones did not want to attach itself to his name at the moment. He felt he did…[Read more]

@loopylin

Hmm.

Reuven

“Maybe.” He bit his lip. “I would not be a good choice for personal security. I have work outside of school, so I can’t stick around much. I’m also not in any of the cliques, so I wouldn’t be a very influential ally. I could identify some good witnesses for you though, if you need interviews.”

He did not like the words…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Awesome!

Wilhelm

He heard the footsteps, much too rapid for this time of evening. He spun on the stair, catching the banister in one hand to keep his balance as he looked behind him. It was that hold on the banister that saved him.

A young giant hurtled into him. The two boys went crashing back onto the stairs, Wilhelm…[Read more]

@loopylin

Reúven

“The National Civil Patrol.” He spread his hands wide, palms up like a shrug. “I am a student. I just also volunteer with the local military for civil service and emergency response. It’s a good program.”

He could feel himself making traction in the conversation, although he wasn’t sure where it was going. Just that he was…[Read more]

@rae

I don’t usually stalk this forum, but as the rest of KP is quiet today, I hopped in. That was splendid to read, like an opening of a middle grade book. Thank you for sharing the joy.

I’m going to go brew myself some berry tea.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

I’m good with Wilhelm meeting him. Wilhelm is headed for his room currently, so that works pretty well.

@ellette-giselle

Like Whaley said, there aren’t rules for introducing. I literally had my guy lose himself in the stairwell. Whatever you think will get your character into the plot/show his personality.

@power Splendiforious. I loves it.

In similar vien:

Onnendel: I just found this beautiful song. It’s a little sad, but so thoughtful. *starts playing Ashoken Farewell*

Everyone else: A LiTtLe sAd?

Aenwest: Few people have a truly refined taste for good food.

Dwogin: That’s a bag of Cheetos.

Aenwest: And you are saying?

Onnendel:…[Read more]

Cartrips 🚗 (in a mini van)

Onnendel is happy in the middle back seat, and really needs the leg room. Usually has an audiobook going on headphones, a blanket, and an eternal bottle of water. On the off chance that he gets to ride shotgun he will delight in controlling the music.

Randal swaps driving with Travenor, and so usually Trump’s anyone…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Hehehe. Well, you have been getting to know them…

@ellette-giselle

Glad you’re back! *welcome hugs*

Best thing I’ve heard all day. lolololol

Lol. In his defense, he got forced into an awkward social situation. XD

Please do! I shall look forward to meeting him.

@loopylin

Lovely

Reúven

She meant his boot knife. He looked down at it, resisting the urge to tuck his feet under the bench. He could offer so many different excuses, but he wasn’t sure which would work best.

“I’m military.” The truth in a nutshell. “I have to be prepared for anything.”

He looked back up at her. His smile was gone. A steely…[Read more]

Ok, after some research etc, it’s probably got a blade of about eight inches. Definitely on the inside of his left leg. The sheath is sewn into the inside of his boot, so it would stay put. It would also be a little higher at the hilt to keep him from cutting himself when he draws. The handle would absolutely be visible. Reúven would get in so…[Read more]
