Ava Blue

Answering Kefa’s questions now:

Ayla

Do you have any family or friends?

Yes. I have four grandparents, two parents, one annoying brother, and some friends.

Are you described as a villain or a hero (or just a good or a bad person)?

Generally just a nut.

How would you react to these different scenarios:

Your friend was killed

Cry.

You were…

I just couldn’t help myself when I found the meme base. Such a debate can only be gloriously inspired. :]

No, ducks are the best birds, Lucille.

She likes ducks too, just not as much. XD Also, rude. You’re not a personal acquaintance of hers. Calling her but her first name is equivalent to a stranger walking up a…[Read more]

@theducktator

I was only fifteen, and as a rule, only parents die in the first chapter. I should have at least half a book.

The purest kind of logic, right there.

@theducktator

I went to watch a movie with an older friend of mine, and when my mum came to pick me up, the car wouldn’t start. We tried to jump start it, we waited for a tow truck, I got distracted by frogs… Turns out we jump started it incorrectly. It’s fine now. *Thumbs up*

@whalekeeper

 I’m on a car ride and we almost had to be towed.

What happened??

@rae @the_lost-journal

Sorry for the delay, I’m on a car ride and we almost had to be towed.

Barnes

There was no knowing how many other creatures they would encounter along the way. On top of creatures, there could be obstacles of other kinds. The beauty of the place took off the edge, but that was more for the eyes and less for the…[Read more]

Ayla

Trapped in a labyrinth. TRAPPED IN A LABYRINTH. This was the best day of my entire life! Weird creepy vine walls, little elf guy, those oddballs in masks I’d seen…this was most assuredly a fantasy novel. Why would I want to escape? To avoid death, said a voice in my head. “Oh shut up, commonsense.” I was only fifteen, and as a rule, only…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Oh yeah! Cassius is NOT normal 😄

I have come to assume that characters either have a surprise breaking point, a heavily foreshadowed breaking point, or simply like to break all the time. I’m not surprised we have one of the latter.

I may introduce another character later, but here’s Ayla: Ayla is 15 years old, 5′ 7”, with long straight dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a dark cloak, which she wears in the hope that it makes her look mysterious. She is usually carrying a notebook and a pencil, as well as whatever she’s currently reading.

@the_lost-journal

I think it’s fine to keep them. The names are uncommon enough that it’s not very noticeable. I named a guy Emerald once before realizing it’s typically a girl’s name, and I kept it.

@whalekeeper

No, ducks are the best birds, Lucille.

In all honesty though, pigeons are neat.

Now I’m stuck thinking about the differences between the book labyrinth from Goblet of Fire and the movie labyrinth.

@rae @the_lost-journal

Barnes

“Just into the side, not too deep.”

He did what she asked. Barnes reached in again, then stood up and pulled out a handkerchief to better clean off her hands. She let out a sigh, which sounded more like whistle through the mask. “I’m wondering how long this labyrinth is. Do you have a taste for deep-fried cat?”

@rae @the_lost-journal

Barnes

Barnes stuck her hand into the beast’s mouth, and the other stranger gasped. It was still warm and soft in a moist sort of way. Feeling around for some time, she eventually pulled her arm out and wiped it on the grass.

It probably was not venomous because the teeth felt more feline than reptilian. Death…[Read more]

@rae @the_lost-journal

Barnes

Barnes stepped out and pulled Cassius out as well, not unkindly. “Cassius, you shouldn’t cut your tongue out. I was in fact suggesting that you try and keep your head.”

The boy seemed to be confused by this, but did not reply right away. He was too busy staring at the dead creature and at the newcomers.

The beast…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal @rae

Barnes

Barnes blinked a couple times before chuckling. “Okay. We’re… not going to question the pity party.”

Something moved in the shadows. A gentle movement, without the sound of birds or leaves.

Barnes paused where she was, alert. She gazed through the cascading vines, their tangles filled to the brim with darker…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

hehe I love them. The fact that Barnes loves pigeons so much is kinda cute

Oh and here’s a quick Fel description: Long white hair in a braid, about 19 years old, 6’3″ish, silver eyes, pale, victorian style guy’s clothing

I’m having a lot of fun already , and I haven’t even started interacting with other characters yet lol

Omniscient 

The imp waved, wiggling his long fingers, as a few more people entered the maze.

“Good luuuck,” he called after them in a sing-songy voice. Then he hopped down from his perch in the branches and dashed away, quickly disappearing into the fog.
