Thank you for the ideas! I will add them to the list. Naming pets is a little harder than I remember it being. It’s been a while since I had some of my own. All of your suggestions are spiffing little names, indeed.

Martin & Mathias (or Mathias & Matemeo)

Plot twist, I’ve already sourced Redwall…[Read more]

I’m tagging a bunch of you. Firstly, I doubt you will be offended, and secondly, I have free will. (You may ignore, of course.)

A lot of you write or read about fantastical…[Read more]

Tavar

“Neurological science?” Saying the term, even imitating Bryce’s accent when he did, didn’t help. “I don’t know the term, although it sounds like the words used in one of my books. Let’s see…”

Tavar closed his eyes, envisioning the word, changing the alphabet around until it fit. Eyes flashing open, he ran a finger over the…[Read more]

I got some guinea pigs yesterday. :] Does anyone have any name suggestions? They’re both boys.

Unfortunately no, I don’t have more. I want a window box, but I don’t know how that would actually fit in my window since I live in a college dorm.

Tavar

He shrugged, a frown creasing his forehead.

“To be honest, I do not know. If I had not just been reading about the value of food to one’s inward strength, I may have…[Read more]

Oof I kinda dropped off the face of the earth there.

Yesss. That would be so cool to see miniature roses everywhere! Unfortunately, the pot I ordered initially was too damaged to use so I have to get another. Hopefully my little rosy will wait that long. 😅 So far my characters have largely escaped the obsession… Except that Tavar…[Read more]

YAY! I’ll look for you on there when it starts!

I have ordered a new pit for the miniature rose my dad gave me. Now I’m researching what kind of soil I should get. Nothing is safe. Every character of mine is in danger of obtaining a plant baby. 😂

*clears throat*

Tavar

He settled back into his chair. It was across from the hungry boy, in view of potential librarians.…[Read more]

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

Tavar

“You are welcome. Do you have another…” His brows scrunched together as he searched for the word. “Shnack? There’s a seat in this window that’s quite hidden from the librarians.”

He held out a hand in welcome, ready to catch the boy if he stumbled.

@beth-torres Thanks! He definitely has it now, although he hasn’t entirely learned how to use it/what he smells.

Now for the RP…

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]

Oi dearie me. This is a lovely kerfuffle.

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. It’s an avenue of sensory finesse that I haven’t heard included in a character… And I just like the idea of him…[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]

This was lovely to come into. Let’s see…

Tavar

…In such cases, the emotional loss is heightened by the lack of physical strength usually found in food. Comfort the patient…

The boys who had been wandering around the library were talking again. Tavar glanced up at them for a moment, just long enough to see what they…[Read more]

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.

@loopylin @beth-torres

Tavar

The thick leather of his book’s cover was creased with hundreds of years of eager hands cradling it just as Tavar did now. Where the ballads he had read yesterday had sported detailed illuminations in every possible margin, this tome left space for notes from the scribes who had copied it…[Read more]

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]

Ah! That would be fun!

I’ll see about getting an intro RP in after work this evening. If y’all want, he will be quite free to be run into (thinking that might fit the circumstances better, but who knows lol.). He will probably be reading in a corner or window. Some little nook or cranny.

@loopylin

@beth-torres

Jack

“Two. A brother and a sister.” He snapped the book shut with one hand and put it back on the shelf. “You?”

Of course! <3

I am doing that today actually. XD

XD Congratulations on acquiring a NeeDoh.

@dekreel

Oh that’s cool. Everything takes place in the same world? I’ve never considered having a bunch of stories sort of connected in that way. My ideas are always too different to belong in the same universe. But that sounds like a lot of fun.

@koshka

My brain feels like the Ene…

Jack

“Folktales. Old stories. From someplace I’m not familiar with. I love reading these kinds of books to my younger siblings.” He flipped the book open, turning pages randomly, until he paused on a page with an illustration of a villainous wolf. It stared up at him hungrily from the page. “They’re full of monsters and magic and…[Read more]

Obviously this kid could see, but how could he be observant with his hair over his eyes?

Hey, you’re not supposed to question things. It’s because, uh… it’s just anime logic, okay? XD idk this character is old

Jack

“Alright, keep your secrets.” Jack wandered over to another shelf and pulled down a book. It was titled ‘German F…[Read more]

Yes, he is Ramen. XD We like a crazy kid who thinks he’s top dog.

@keilah-h

:-p

What kind of personality does Ramen have?

LOL! I had one character and my phone would always try to make his name taco.

why is this so funny to me lolllll

I also vote Reynen if you are looking for input, but they all seem cool :]

Jack

The academy library was located in one of the school building’s towers. It was huge, covering two entire floors. There were writing desks, window sill reading nooks, and, of course, books. Plenty of books.

Jack took his time admiring everything. He…[Read more]

He also fumbled to remove the battery from his beeping gadget… his medical device.

*flashbacks to growing up with a diabetic brother* You put those batteries back right now, child.

(is it his pump or his cgm?)

Sure, he needed it to live and all, yet he could not have himself loudly beeping around medieval royalty.

BRYCE NO. What are you doing??? XD

Joshua, Everett, and Raynen all sound cool (my phone tried to “correct” Raynen into ramen…*dies*). As a short slightly chaotic individual myself, I kind of lean towards Raynen, but toss…[Read more]

A NeeDoh!!

Congratulations on this life-altering milestone. May your NeeDohed days ahead be bright and full of kneadable joy.

I have one of the pink Dream Drops, but I left it at home when I came to college… I think I know what I need to get when I go back. O.O

I like the detail in that chart of Bryce talking to himself, because he really does “talk to himself”

Yeah I have too many ideas to pay attention to it’s very frustrating lol

Jack

“Just going to look around. Today is a good day to explore. I think it’s just down this hall.”

fidgets are fun, I have a whole bin’s worth of them

also yeah losing braincells is a thing that happens sometimes lol

Jack

“We can ask one of the servants. Come on.” Jack returned his bow to the rack it came from, and the two boys walked together outside.

The sun was higher in the sky now, shining brightly. Jack smiled, enjoying the fresh air. It was a beautiful day. A soft breeze tousled his hair and gently pushed along a few fluffy clouds in the…[Read more]

Ah yes, we’re derailing this art topic. XD My apologies

Jack

“I came here to learn about other kingdoms as well, actually. My kingdom is very small and a bit isolated. This is my chance to learn from some of my peers.” Jack tapped his bow against his leg as he talked. “Also, there’s a bigger library here than at home. I was about to go there now. Would you… like to join me?”

Hey that’s cool!! There’s no way I would have the patience to color all of that with colored pencils. That’s some dedication. XD And yes, your depiction of this book character intrigues me.

Very pretty!

@keilah-h

If anything out of the three Soldier is actually the one that would think putting someone in a dress would be funny. Sniper would stab you if you got close with anything of the type lol, he’d honestly rather wear rags (if you remember he got yelled at by Spy for precisely that)

I can see that lol.

Sniper w…[Read more]

that’s really cool! What book is she from? The words have me intrigued.

Oi, what book is this darling from? I’ve read a book titled Glitch but I’m assuming this isn’t the same book (which I could be wrong but this doesn’t look like a middle-grade sci-fi/time travel book).

He then realized that the society hadn’t even given him a story to go by

Slackers

Jack

Bryce received a weird look anyway, though it may have been hidden enough by Jack’s hair. This boy was strange, definitely, but his casual manner made him feel more approachable than the other students.

“It’s nice to meet you. What did you come h…[Read more]

“I dropped it pretty hard.”

XD Your characters always manage to make me crack up hehe

Jack

“Jack Celby. Prince of Wellmaere.” Jack stepped forward and held out his hand for a handshake. “Who are you?”
