5 is Ayla, Ducktator’s character

@loopylin

You can always make them lose their way and come back to them another time. The mist could warp time and they’d wander around without doing anything significant for days on end. So you can do something else in the meantime.

@keilah-h WoF is so nostalgic for me ❤️ I love that

I kinda want to pull my characters and just occasionally write things for the labyrinth’s inhabitants. I keep getting more fun ideas for more creatures and side characters for this. But I’d also feel bad for pulling characters so idk

@keilah-h

😂 Ah yes, the Wings of Fire prophecy. Glad you like the poem. I would’ve liked to do every character justice but I don’t know their character arcs and whatnot.

@loopylin

Yep that’s correct

@whalekeeper

Oh yeah that totally works. None of what you guys have written has gone against what I imagined at all so far. I just wanted to say something just in case.

@keilah-h I know these ones I think

stanza 1- Felicity. Cuz the white hair

3- Mel

9- the Protector/ Gabriel

10- Lucy/Barnes

@loopylin

The way I’ve imagined it, the labyrinth is really good at acting like it has a mastermind. It’s not a person and doesn’t have a person behind it, but it can mechanically detect, reflect and manipulate real people’s thoughts. No one within the story wrote the poem; it just spontaneously manifested because of how the labyrinth…[Read more]

suspecting the owner of the labyrinth might be in the house.

Not that your characters would know this, but, just clarifying, the labyrinth doesn’t have an owner. It’s sort of sentient on its own, kinda, and more like a force of nature than anything else.

Lucille

Lucy did as she was told and more; she slid every candle into her trouser belt and pockets. The flames flickered around her waist like a burner under a pan and she hissed with restrained laughter.

The poem didn’t make much sense. Was it about people who had already escaped? Had they died? She recognized Gabriel’s title, but the res…[Read more]

@rae

My hand is fine now. I was rather miffed because I burnt my hand yesterday too, pulling steak out of the oven.  It’s never bad burn, just painful for ten minutes or so.

Baking is indeed fun and time-consuming

I apologize for the bad poem. I wrote it quickly and didn’t want to spend forever fixing it

@rae

Lucille

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.

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

@elishavet-pidyon @loopylin @theducktator

Not intending to mess up the role play turns. 🫣

It’s hard to tell who wants to go next so I don’t blame you lol. Loops or Duck, one of you needs to go after me.

Marcel

Marcel laughed and brushed his hair out of his eyes so he could better return the glare. “With that attitude, you already do.”

Happy Feast of Saint Nicholas!

To the tune of Up on the Housetop: Up at Nicea, the bishops pause, Arius and Santa Claus. One claims a time when the Son was not, one says that’s a heretical thought! Ho, ho, ho, who’s gonna go, ho, ho, ho, who’s gonna go. Off with a right hook, good Saint Nick, down goes the dirty heretic!

@koshka

We have one that’s more like a jelly salad, and one that’s a barbeque sauce. We usually eat the second one on meatballs for Christmas, but sometimes, (like this year), we have it for Thanksgiving as well.

@rae

Is there something you want the book to lead up to, or should I make something up?

@whalekeeper @loopylin @theducktator

On further thought, I’ll put in Viktor’s reaction. Not intending to mess up the role play turns. 🫣

Viktor

Trash talk. Fun… Viktor grinned back at Marcel.

“Maybe. But if you manage that, we must deserve it.” He blinked in that completely not innocent way that would give away the sarcasm, mouth twitching…[Read more]

TAUREN!!! *indistinct squeals*

He looks older in this one, more grown up than how I’ve remembered him. I like it.
