@loopylin

Thank you for the useful ideas. I like 1, 2, 8, and 9 especially. We can also use the need for food as a motive to get stuck in these situations.

It’s funny that Rallascant is his own separate option

I have generated more ideas to add to your list:

1. Hall of mirrors challenge where the characters have to navigate their way past m…[Read more]

For funsies and to keep the lore consistent

Rallascant

“…I’ll try to help as I can.”

Rallascant’s rabbit ears perked up as he heard the cursed word. Technically, he was there already. Summoned. He was under no obligation to actually show himself. He sniffed at the air and then dug up another dandelion root to nibble on. He watched things unf…[Read more]

Not that we need this at the moment, but here’s some possible future conflict ideas because I’m in a brainstormy mood.

1. The group finds Mel’s door back home and they realize it won’t help anyone else get home except her (Mel and Lucy still think they’re from the same world)
2. The group finds the giant’s garden
3. The basilisk goes hunting again

Mel
Mel stopped trying to hold it in and cried quietly into Lucy’s shoulder. She couldn’t tell if the grown-ups had obeyed Lucy’s command to close their eyes, but she felt comforted by the idea. Lucy squeezed a bit tighter. This was better than stinky crow feathers.
After a couple minutes which felt much longer, her…[Read more]

It’s probably a good thing that Rallascant doesn’t actually know what guns are

@rae

Those are fun!! I like the melancholy look you’re going for with Baron. And funny poses like the last one are the best to draw.

@keilah-h

Do any of your characters still have guns? Just curious to know how many guns they carry on their person at all times

Gabriel will figure this out eventually, he’s just not used to being a dad

@rae

He’s trying so hard, but he’d feel more comfortable in the middle of a knitting group than here lol.

I’m thinking about adding a character who loves to knit, so this amuses me all the more. He might factually have the option to join a knitting group instead

Were all little girls so confusing? How can you break down and not know why?

Gabriel’s response is just as funny as I thought it would be lol

@loopylin @keilah-h @rae

Lucille

Lucy sometimes found herself making fists, pinching herself, breathing quickly, or screaming – without any control. Without knowing why. As if feelings blew through her body or pounded on her skull just because they could.

As she saw Mel trying not to cry, something clicked. Her parents sometimes took her aside…[Read more]

All the grown ups are so nice but also so confuzzled XD

@keilah-h I’m so sorry she’s not paying attention. I love reading the backstory/worldbuilding stuff, but Mel is a very tired and overwhelmed neurodivergent seven year old who doesn’t know what to do atm. She would find it so cool any other time. @whalekeeper @rae I promise I’m not trying to write a dramatic scene, lol. She’s just a tired kid.…[Read more]

Ellis

Ellis smiled at Remington, using his nice smile instead of his natural one, which was all crooked to one side.

“Pleased to meet you. And you as well… Callum? I think I heard?”

The boy made a sound that could have meant anything. Ellis took it as confirmation.

“I think you could use some fresh air. Should we step out…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Wren

“No, you’re fine. It’s- that’s helpful.” Wren looked at him for a moment, lost in thought, before suddenly giving a start and opening her notebook. She scratched a few things down in shorthand.

“Do you, uh, have names? Of the people involved? Were’s the student who was targeted by the kidnappers? Is he doing alright…[Read more]

@loopylin

Remington

Callum sighed as if still recovering. Poor thing. It must have been wrong to ask him so many questions. Remington, biting his own cheek in subdued guilt, patted him on the shoulder.

He turned back to Ellis. “Remington LaCreux, prince of… well, technically king of Surabond. If you look on the map, we’re that country that…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ellis

Ellis returned the bow as best he could without letting go of Callum’s arm. He didn’t yet trust him to stand on his own.

“Prince Ellis Lysander Stormwatcher of Sinulon. And you?”

@loopylin

Remington

“My current theory is that he has fainted from pure joy,” Remington explained. The stranger next to them came up and took Callum’s other arm.

Callum groaned. He seemed to regain focus, and rubbed his temples. “I… faint easily. You… overwhelmed me.”

“Ah. Maybe I overstepped just a little bit.” Remington brought his left…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ellis Stormwatcher 

Ellis exited the dining hall, his spirits and head held high. The food had been excellent, legendary even, and he had talked and laughed with a great group of boys his age. As he walked, reciting off his new friends’ names in his head to remember them, he nearly tripped over a book. He recovered his balance an…[Read more]
