Tavar

“You are welcome. Do you have another…” His brows scrunched together as he searched for the word. “Shnack? There’s a seat in this window that’s quite hidden from the librarians.”

He held out a hand in welcome, ready to catch the boy if he stumbled.

Ari

He forced himself to refocus on Moth. He doesn’t want to hurt the target. That might be part of the problem.

“I wouldn’t like to meet a living hay bale. What if you imagine the arrow is a message to the center of the target, and you need to sent it there.”

@beth-torres Thanks! He definitely has it now, although he hasn’t entirely learned how to use it/what he smells.

Now for the RP…

Ellis….XD

Ari

“Yes.” Ari’s eyes brightened at Ellis’s suggestion. He nodded slowly. “More violent than flowers, certainly. I wonder…violence…would likely not be as pleasant for the arrows. Or whatever they hit.”

I’ve been a bit swamped as well, so your timing is great. XD

Ari

That was… unexpected. He lowered his bow.

“Did you intend for that to happen?”

The thing–flower?–was pretty. Ari walked over to it, heedless of other arrows as he was most safety precautions. He crouched beside the thing but didn’t pick it up. Even in…[Read more]

Noted. It’s canon now.

I like her despite herself. XD Two librarians are better than one. Besides, it’s a huge library. One would be overworked.

Oi dearie me. This is a lovely kerfuffle.

This RP has got me thinking… I’m playing with the idea that Tavar can smell diabetes, maybe even cancer and malaria, since his folk are supposed to have GREAT senses. It’s an avenue of sensory finesse that I haven’t heard included in a character… And I just like the idea of him…[Read more]

This was lovely to come into. Let’s see…

Tavar

…In such cases, the emotional loss is heightened by the lack of physical strength usually found in food. Comfort the patient…

The boys who had been wandering around the library were talking again. Tavar glanced up at them for a moment, just long enough to see what they…[Read more]

Hmmm. He sounds dangerous. A man with a motive indeed.

Lol! Yeah, my friend interrupted my stuttering explanation of this character (an elven prince who risks his life to sneak a little girl to his dad so she can be fostered in safety… Then proceeds to spend the rest of his “immortal” life looking after her.) with the words, “So, he’s attractive?”

I stopped mid sentence, mouth open,…[Read more]

@loopylin @beth-torres

Tavar

The thick leather of his book’s cover was creased with hundreds of years of eager hands cradling it just as Tavar did now. Where the ballads he had read yesterday had sported detailed illuminations in every possible margin, this tome left space for notes from the scribes who had copied it…[Read more]

Ah! That would be fun!

I’ll see about getting an intro RP in after work this evening. If y’all want, he will be quite free to be run into (thinking that might fit the circumstances better, but who knows lol.). He will probably be reading in a corner or window. Some little nook or cranny.

@loopylin

I have homework I must do…

Goal: One discussion post before 10:40.

I have a character I would like to explore… Like Ari, he belongs to that world’s history, although he is very unconnected. He does important stuff when he’s older, but he really develops his character as a young person, long before his “story” begins. Which in turn makes that a deliciously fun time to explore. He would be…[Read more]

*Wilhelm is too distracted by watching Jasper to notice anything else suscpisious*

Ah! That would be fun!

I’ll send a link by email.

*Points at @elishavet-pidyon *

But she goes by a different name.

Hey, shooting stuff is fun.

Just going to pull from my own very limited experience with archery. If someone else has expertise you might need to help. XD

Ari

He hadn’t meant for either of the boys to actually start shooting yet, but Ellis had certainly some idea of what to do, though he used a draw Ari had never tried.…[Read more]

Art isn’t easy, that’s for sure. For every good drawing I make, there’s an abomination.

Glad to hear it went well! May thy educational pursuits be fabulous.

@rae

Lol! Congratulations. XD

I don’t think I actually have/had a fictional crush… Although it may sound like it when I talk about some characters. (As I learned when trying to describe one from a friend’s story to a different, uninitiated friend. The amount…[Read more]

Ari

He nodded and picked up the rod.

“Arm.” Ari quickly measured Ellis’s draw length and went back to the rack of bows. A slightly longer recurve would do.

“Here. This one’s about fifteen pounds too. I don’t want you two shooting me with a bow you can’t control. If you’re going to shoot someone it had better be on…[Read more]

And I just asked Ellis a question. XD

He can answer or not or just shrug.

*Ahem*

@loppylin @whalekeeper

I love the cat. Such attitude, such floof.

Ari

Rythmic thuds of broadheads into targets pulsed as a heartbeat. Only a handful of students were practicing, their vows a range from graceful limbed recurves to longbows as tall as their archers. High windows some fifteen feet up the outer wall let in…[Read more]

You haven’t gone to college, have you?

Tagging some old people

Oh my gracious. XD

What Elishavet said and also:

From the perspective of someone who’s both attended college, is attending college, and has worked in college admissions offices…Remember, colleges want students. Colleges need students. They will be looking for reasons to make you pick them, not reasons to…[Read more]

Tagging some old people:

Lol.

I do attend college! (Have graduated from a secular college and am now attending a Christian one) I’m not sure I can help with one that requires an interview, but I can try. Is there anything specific you are wondering about?

I will say….

Do you know what career or career field you are interested…[Read more]

I love this. I shall attempt either tonight or tomorrow.

I pronounced that Moth-er and that is somehow quite fitting.

Ari

The tension in his shoulders eased slightly. He nodded and pushed away from the table.

“Come on then.”

Students still meandered around the courtyard. Clumps of them stood followed various instructors like swarms of bees. Ari headed straight for the…[Read more]

(Jaybird)

VERY COOL.😎 Matilde is a great name for a guitar. Definitely worth taking care of.🎸

You know what, that’s true! 🤯 We’re the secret heroes of society. What would they do without us? 🧐😎

What’s the weirdest food you have tried?😛 (Hoping I didn’t ask this already. I’m not as tech savvy as my friends.…[Read more]

Of course! <3

I am doing that today actually. XD

Why is this such a staple in my writing??? XD

Reuven

He watched Wren claim her interview with Marcel. It seemed to go well. Reuven smiled to himself and shook the jitters from his hands.

“Well, now you’re famous.” A soft voice brushed…[Read more]

I tried typing Moth and it autocorrected to Mother and I almost started laughing very loudly to myself in public

*Snort laughs in a very public but very empty hallway*

Ari

He slowly nodded. Linguistics wasn’t for another three hours–not till after lunch, and of course Choir this evening. The school had tried to saddle him…[Read more]

I like Lucian.

I laughed rather loudly in public for you. 😁

I honestly don’t know who would

Ari

He looked back at moth, curious, but let that remark pass. Could whistling be heard in the void?

“What were you two up to before you decided to come and ruin my swords practice?” Not that he liked swords. The interruption was almost welcome…but he’d definitely not say that outloud.

Thank you Whaley, I am now concerned for Ellis and Lucien.

Ari

“I don’t know. What makes you think they would?” Frustration boiled up, clenching his nails into his skin as Moth continued to stare at him. “They’re my half-brothers. Some fighting is normal, but inheritence isn’t determined by a few scuffles. Maybe they…[Read more]

Moth: *Wants to protect Ari*

Ari: *Is practically twice his height, and is older and tougher*

XD

He needs it, Moth. He needs it.

Ari

In competition? That seemed to light a word.

“Me? No.” He looked down as he pulled off the padded sparring gloves. “My father has four sons older than my brother and me. And besides, what with his brothers gone, there’s plenty of land and titles to go round.”

Don’t be an idiot. He slapped the gloves against the…[Read more]

Ari

His attention snapped back to Moth.

“Just…wondering. Family traits tend to run strong with us.” Black hair, dark eyes, murder. Yes, family traits.

Ari

Moth would be keeping watch as well. But what exactly did a fairy mean by watching?

It didn’t make much of a difference. Ari pushed away from the table.

“If you like. I was going to head to the archery targets once I was done here…” His voice trailed off as his gaze turned to wards where Jasper was still gadding…[Read more]

Ari

He nodded. He wasn’t sure what a mood was or why it would be damapened, but he had heard about visions. Just none within the last two centuries.

Brother’s or no, tonight was going to be an… adventure. If this kid was telling the truth.

“Good, good.” His spreading smile kindled the light in his eyes. “Finally…[Read more]

Sure, he needed it to live and all, yet he could not have himself loudly beeping around medieval royalty.

BRYCE NO. What are you doing??? XD

Joshua, Everett, and Raynen all sound cool (my phone tried to “correct” Raynen into ramen…*dies*). As a short slightly chaotic individual myself, I kind of lean towards Raynen, but toss…[Read more]

O_O

Ari

He absently ran the end of his tongue over the seaping cut in his lip.

“Thoughtful of you to tell me.” This could be interesting. “You saw this? Where, and what exactly did you see?”

His bedchamber. Well, perhaps he might just have to stage an ambush of his own. Anticipation pooled in his stomach.

Who would try…[Read more]

Y’all I just got out of class and there’s a weather front coming in that just made the temperature outside drop to 78° and cloudy. This is beautiful.

Ari

Stillness crept down his spine. He watched Moth’s friend, wary. I need to warn you. Even his own patchy social record said those weren’t the usual first words out of s…[Read more]
