I am barely keeping up with my college classes and work as it is, so I’m afraid I won’t be joining.

Same as Koshka. I’m juggling schoolwork and writing at the same time, and although I write a decent amount most days, it’s easier for me to keep the habits I have now. Not sure if it’s worth joining an unfamiliar challenge.

That’s just me. I hop…[Read more]

Your colors are great!! Your practicing has really payed off.

I’m not sure, maybe looking into colleges (probably online, nothing big). I’m considering going into some kind of ministry or non-profit work. I wasn’t planning on anything like that, but I kind of feel drawn to it right now.

How about you? How is your family doing?

feel free to skip my turn for both my characters. Jack is feeling introverted and Ellis has nothing to say at the moment

Moth

“Violence?” Moth tilted his head. He stared at the target and squinted. “But I don’t want to hurt the hay bale. It has done nothing but grow in a field.”

He found himself scowling at the third arrow in his hand, as if it was at fault. “Everything is so eager to… It doesn’t matter. Are you saying I should imagine the bal…[Read more]

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.

That’s a real thing. I know of at least one woman who was proven to be able to smell Parkinson’s disease on someone before diagnosis. It’s possible to smell dif…[Read more]

Ellis

“Maybe think more violent thoughts?” Ellis offered lamely.

Moth

Moth blinked and shook his head to clear it. “I didn’t intend for that to happen, no.”

Maybe it was a one-time accident. He motioned for Ari to walk out of the shooting range, and after making sure it was safe, he strung another arrow and shot again.

This time, it transformed into a yellow poppy, and twirled in the air b…[Read more]

Sorry for the late reply; I’ve been a little mentally swamped.

Moth

Moth took a look at Ari’s hand. He put the ring on and dropped an arrow onto the bow. He studied Ari’s hand position, looking back and forth between their bows, and did his best to mimic the expert. It was probably best to be sure of what to do before he pulle…[Read more]

fyi this lady is hard of hearing that’s partially why she’s so loud

also I accidentally came up with two librarians instead of one

Quibble

The librarian seemed to hardly register the boy’s reaction as she distractedly tucked the confiscated snack into her breast…[Read more]

ok librarian it is

Jack

Jack watched the interaction over the top of his book in a way that made it look like he was still reading. Though he was feeling tired from talking with people all morning, he was still curious. Bryce pulled something in shiny packaging out of his pocket which crinkled loudly. Almost…[Read more]

aw yours is so cute! The way you shade things is really cool and I love how squished they look hehe

Hey, I remember you, fellow Dr Who fan. Good to see you back online and I hope you’re doing well :]

Jack

Jack shrugged. He had found himself a comfortable armchair to curl up in and read. “You could ask a librarian. Or…” He closed his book and looked about the room, realizing that they hadn’t yet encountered anyone else, not even staff. Everyone seemed to be outside or elsewhere. After a moment he spotted the…[Read more]

Oh no that’s alright! I think I got an idea of what Bryce can do.

ok good! I shall wait for him then. :]

@beth-torres I’m realizing that I didn’t end my last rp very well. If you start feeling stuck,I can add on more and make Jack ask a more direct question if you want.

I received an opportunity to illustrate a book. I can’t say too much yet, but if you are interested, I will let you know when it is published.

That isn’t a surprise. You’re a great illustrator. You should let us know when that happens!

I also confess…

[Read more]

Sorry for the ridiculously delayed response

Lucille

Lucy picked up the first book that interested her. It had a sketch of a man in a black mask. Batman. The name was strange and kind of silly, but she could ignore that.

In the first panel, he was a strong, dark figure, hunched over in a panel drenched with inked rain.…[Read more]

Who knows. They might get stuck in here for decades, join up with other people, and develop a unique nomadic society.

Jack

“Cody, my brother, is quiet. Quieter than me. Bit of a nervous wreck but he’s working on it. Kate is the social one. Balances out the rest of our family. She’s always up to something. Scheming. I think she might be some sort of super genius.” Jac…[Read more]

That sounds great! Excited to meet him :] *starts brainstorming an original way to pull him into conversation*

Lucy: *Tries harder and manages to push their hands back into a tie*

I didn’t realize I put this in the wrong forum hahaha, I meant to put it in the Chat Chat

You caught us in the middle of characters interacting. XDXD

Moth: *Inspects your post thoughtfully* “What is… Instagram?”

Sorry Sara, I’m not really on social media. :’)

Lucy: *Pushes as hard as she can, arm shaking, slowly losing inch by inch* *The more she loses, the more her eyes blaze with excitement*

I wrote half a paragraph.

Better than nothin

:45

So the queen is an immortal jellyfish? Like the actual species?

Lucy: “Yeah. But don’t be fast. You have to let me practice. I’m going to beat you when I’m grown up.”

It would be cool to have a jellyfish merfolk puppet on strings.

From what I understand, you do lose depth perception because that’s just how our eyes are wired. But your brain is really good at reconstructing some of that depth perception through any visual clues it can get. Obviously your brain can tell something is farther away from something else if it’s behind it. So to you, it looks the same as if…[Read more]

The blue fellow in my pfp named Ari. He’s playful, extroverted, lighthearted, kind, funny, a wind elemental, and has white hair. Basically hit all my weak spots. I couldn’t survive.

I can’t help but picture Ari from the academy roleplay, but if he was a faerie like Moth, had the opposite personality, and was blue as Loops likes to cla…[Read more]

Calmest reaction XD

Hey, I’m just trying to lighten the mood. Merlin is already used to his disability so he can show Baron the ropes.

Lucy: *Grabs his hand and repositions them* “You’re a big fat liar. And you’re not even a good liar. At least make it hard for me.”

@freed_and_redeemed

Art isn’t easy, that’s for sure. For every good…[Read more]

Cool. Now he and my Merlin can be friends because they both have eye patches.

Lucy: “Either that, or you are a weakling, or you are a big liar.”

:45

Isn’t that Baron?

Lucy: *Eyes narrow* “Are you a weakling?”

I’ve gotten to the point where I can give my dad a run for his money. But that’s because he’s more of the scholarly type. (No offense, Dad.)

Must buy a purple sequin suit!!!!!

*Squints* *Starts crying* I am blinded by your sequined sparkliness!! Aaaaah, the pain…

I don’t know what counts as a fictional crush. I can judge a character by saying “that’s a good ‘un’ or ‘that one is meh.’ Who is yours?

@elishavet-pidyon

(As I learned when trying to describe one from a friend’s story to a different, uninitiated friend. The amount of gleefull whimpering had her laughing at me.)

Oh that’s relatable.

Ellis

Ellis went first. He cocked an arrow and raised his bow, desperately thinking back to the few lessons he had years before. He drew the bow and released it. The arrow managed to hit the target, but just barely. At least he hadn’t accidentally shot Ari.

Lucian

Lucian seemed to consider this. He continued brushing his horse, not looking over at her.

“No,” he decided after a moment’s pause. “I’m nice.” He finished brushing, gave Onyx’s snout an affectionate pat, and then tossed the brush back.
