Ellis

Ellis’ brow furrowed. “Chemistry, I believe.”

He was mildly surprised by Ari caving, but he didn’t show it.

“I am not sure where the classroom is, though.”

No problem with little skirmishes.

Yeahh conflict is fun. That’s why I pointed it out :]

Yeeaaah that’s true. :-p They could easily turn sour towards each other. And that’s okay. No problem with little skirmishes.

Koshka, I was a little mentally exhausted last night, and when I tried to write, this collection of images suddenly flashed in my mind. I’m afraid I saw our characters as these cats.

Moth

“Come with us, Ari.” Moth let his antennae droop, just a little.

Ellis

Ellis began putting away his gear as he listened to the other two.

“What is the point of an academy, then?” he asked Ari. “Did you come here unwillingly?”

Moth

“Yes. I will go to your science class. And Ari will come with us.”

Ellis

Ellis started at the mention of learning. Right. This was a school. He looked up at the large clock above the gym entrance.

“There is a science class on my schedule that starts soon. I hadn’t decided yet if I was going to attend.”

I appreciate this! When things get heated. . . it makes me feel blah. 🤣

Understandable. 😅 It always makes me feel bad too. Don’t worry about it.
I appreciate the verses as reference! Thank you for your perspective. It’s always interesting to read about. And it is good to hear other people’s personal stories.
This might feel like I’m…[Read more]

Yayy, he caught them both off guard

Moth

Ari and Ellis were almost smiling; that was easy to sense. Inwardly, Moth couldn’t help but glow. He kept a firm countenance.

He lifted his bow one last time. “If I make this, Ari must pay homage to my superior skills.”

Unfortunately for him, his arm’s strength gave out before he co…[Read more]

Ducktator is just a bit younger.

It’s so weird being one of the young people.  Most of my friends are 1-3 years younger than me. XD

CONGRATULATIONS! That’s wonderful! 😃🩷

Also, just out of curiosity, are you going to keep your name since you’ve published under it? I’ve been wondering what would happen in a situation like this, lol.

Regardless of actual age, you are the KP grandma

and Loopy is like, ancient.

It’s true 😔

Hmmm.

@ellette-giselle

That was me for at least a year, maybe longer. Wyoh takes on different forms for each of us.

@writingwren

Helloooo! You’ve already gotten so many intros that I don’t want to keep you.

I’m Whaley. I write retro science-fiction/fantasy. I’m the kind of writer who spends hours frantically scribbling world details and evil plot plans on a giant whiteboard. As some people can tell you, I frequently go overboard and frequently create…[Read more]

WhEn DiD EvErY OnE GrOw Up!!!!???

I think most of us OGs are college-age right now. Ducktator is just a bit younger. My 20th birthday is about to hit me and Loopy is like, ancient.

It’s crazy. I’m going to be an adult in December…

You didn’t answer my question

:]

Moth is right. They are both kind. Trivial things have insurmountable value.

Indeed. Such things can be very meaningful to someone else, even if no one else knows it.

@loopylin

You didn’t answer my question

I just got four more emails for the same post

Ellis

Ellis was caught off guard. He watched the side of Moth’s face as he fiddled with his bow.

“… You’re welcome, I suppose.” He wasn’t trying to be particularly kind, but he had had fun hanging around with Moth that morning. A smile threatened to tug at his mouth.

I love you and will always be happy to support and pray with you as my friend.

That is very sweet of you to say, Elishavet. I also love you. I appreciate this and I am always willing to do the same for you. <3

Also totally willing to answer questions to the best of my ability.

I will keep that in mind. And thank you for your…[Read more]

No, but it did give me five duplicate emails for it

Awwwwwwwwww.

Moth is right. They are both kind. Trivial things have insurmountable value.

Moth

“I cannot believe I have people to talk to. It is odd to say, but I am not accustomed to this — this spoiled lifestyle. Being with people — doing things, having small conversation — to everyone else this is normal, but for me… Perhaps it sounds silly, but these trivial things are rare to me. Thank you both for asking my…[Read more]

HA don’t expect anything too silly

@loopylin

O.O

Did they disappear?

Ellis

“If you would like to.”

I rarely enter these conversations, although it’s not because I don’t have thoughts to share. XD But I saw your post and thought I might have something to add.

As someone who does believe that speaking in tongues is the innitial sign of new birth by the Spirit, I still do not want to discount the experience you have with God. I…[Read more]

Moth

Moth looked from Ellis to Ari, and set down his bow as well. “May I say something that is a little embarrassing for me?”

Hey! Quick question, since you’re talking about the Holy Spirit!

I’ve had friends and acquaintances who say that you have to experience Holy Spirit through a sign like speaking in tongues, and if you don’t, you aren’t saved. There’s also the alternate belief that you can be saved without the Spirit, but the ideal place in…[Read more]

My mother was, though

Is she dead?

@ellette-giselle

Ah, yes, me when writing last night

I don’t listen to much Christian music (outside of a couple things) because I haven’t seen much stylistic range.

Nice to know I’m not the only one. 😅

Greetings! I’m The Ducktator! Did you get your username from the Roger Hargreaves book? Those books were my childhood. I write fantasy mostly, and I also enjoy reading, dancing, birding, politics, and history. Compiling outfits is the best. I’m really into heels right now. I only own two pairs though because money. 😭 I want a…[Read more]

Homeschool for the win!😃 I’m The Ducktator, homeschool senior and writer of fantasy! I also enjoy reading, history, dancing, birding, and politics!

Some questions!

Who is your favorite obscure Bible character?

What is your favorite variety of pancake?

Would you rather have an elephant sized hummingbird or a hummingbird sized…[Read more]

Why did you even open your mouth, Verenion?

Oh no Ari I’m sorryyy I apologize for my character I don’t know what’s wrong with him

Chocolate chip is classic. Most of my family would agree with you about the syrup, but I love syrup and chocolate. XD

My dream car is a sleek, black limo with my own personal driver that will drive me to and from company events. Everyone will be required to wear sunglasses inside of it.

That sounds amazing.

My favorite writing…[Read more]

Ellis

Ellis went very still. He looked away for a moment at the other archers with a blank look on his face.
“You’re quick to give advice.”

*brain screaming too* It’s been an adventure. A good thing, but we were definetely used to a slower pace.

Tavar

“We write and speak in the language of the Elders. Taenga Sinear. This common tongue is beginning to be used among strangers, so I learned it a few years ago but we’ve spoken the Teanga as long as memory lives. Here.” He…[Read more]

Poor Ellis.

He’s just bein sensitiveee

*panicking because I haven’t actually decided what exactly Ellis is*

Ellis

One of Ellis’ own pointed ears twitched slightly. He fumbled with an arrow on his bowstring. “We’re not. My mother was, though,” he said, glancing at Ari. “You’ve met Lucian?”

I nanny 3 kids. One of them I’ve been nannying from when he was born! It was the most precious moment when I got to hold him at the hospital a day after he was born.

That sounds amazing. 🥰

ummm…I like blue berry dark chocolate pancakes specifically made from scratch.

I’ve never had those! They sound really good.

ummm…Princess Academy…

Ah yes, a classic. XD I like lemon yoghurt pancakes.

I think I could carry 8 pigeons. 4 down my shirt, one in each pocket, and one in each hand. But yeah, the poop would be a problem.

I would have fire for the drama.

There are a lot. Right now it would be Paris from the Iliad. He is insufferable.

I suppose that is a legitimate reason.…[Read more]
