The Protector—Gabriel

Gabriel’s eyes drooped under his mask. As Barnes spoke, he started awake. “Do whatever.” He turned his back to Barnes and the other sleep two, taking off his mask and punching himself in the face to wake up. He couldn’t fall asleep. He didn’t trust the maze, and he also didn’t trust that L…[Read more]

ugh KP signed me out as I went to post, no!

@raxforge @loopylin

Do I make up the culture surrounding the character if it doesn’t give that much information in the manuals? I’m trying to gauge how much set world there already is, and how much I’m allowed to make up.

The amount of options for items/spells/whatever is insane. I’m loving it. Now it’s time to design a warlock without any prior knowledge of the game and horribly underestimate the amount of information I need on a character sheet.

Tadaaaa, I got me some books!

Barnes

”Correct about… what?’ Barnes looked around.

Ignoring her words, Cassius already lay on the ground as he had before. Soon he was quiet and resting peacefully. It was like nothing had happened.

As Leander settled down as well, Barnes stared off into the maze again and tried to tune out. Her fingers twinged at th…[Read more]

Barnes

“Pardon me for asking – hm.” Barnes hesitated. She absently shook the cigarette box in her pocket. “I’m having trouble understanding the suddenness of this. Wouldn’t you already know this? Have you never thought about your childhood or your father before?”

@the_lost-journal @whalekeeper

The Protector—Gabriel

“Relax.” Gabriel adjusted his position, sitting with his legs crossed. “Inhale…hold it…exhale. Calm down your heart rate, it’s distressing you.”

Gabriel avoided Barnes’s question purposefully. What would everyone think if they knew his real age? Maybe they wouldn’t care, or they’d never r…[Read more]

Of course you will. You didn’t have a choice!

Barnes

Suddenly Cassius burst again. His weight shifted on the ground beside Barnes as he slumped over. His voice trembled.

How was Barnes supposed to react? The kid had made so many random declarations that this one could be just as short-lived.

“If you really are nineteen,” She said slowly, “I’m sorry for you. But you…[Read more]

Barnes

“You’re too young, and you seem against it anyway.” Barnes noted how Gabriel flinched when the cigarette burned. She put it down and crushed it on the stone. So much for a silent night watch. “How old are each of you?”

@rae

Have you ever given a charrie of yours a weird mannerism that you have yourself?

Generally speaking, I’m sure I have. I’m just not aware that they are weird mannerisms yet.

A few of my charries like to sleep in a fetal position, or curled up around a pushie or blanket. And Gabriel stretches similar to a cat. Mannerisms I sometimes hav…

The Protector—Gabriel

The scent of the smoke invaded Gabriel’s nostrils. It sickened him, but he remained silent, listening to Cassius’s talk about pleasure. Internally, he wondered if happiness and pleasure were different, and if they were, how were they different. A small plop sound woke him from his thoughts. H…[Read more]

“…I’m not smoking,” Barnes said. She still held it at arm’s length. “I only lit it for the scent.”

She glanced back at Cassius, then turned back to stare at the labyrinth passageways she guarded. The exposition about pleasure irked her, but she held her tongue. He meant well.

@rae @the_lost-journal

Barnes

“I don’t care. Whatever you like to do.” Barnes pulled out a box of cigarettes and lit one of them. Instead of taking a draw on it, she held it at a distance from them and let the smell waft through the air. “ Ah. If this bothers you, at least speak then.”

@rae

Great! The tube down my nose felt a little like an alien trying to take over my mind, and they fed me a tone of questionable green food. Next month, they want me to drink radioactive fluid. I low-key love hospital visits though because the smell of hospitals is so nostalgic.  I guess that’s not normal, but whatever. XD

@whalekeeper

How did the doctor visit go?

The Protector—Gabriel

Gabriel hesitated, before sitting on the stone, bringing his knees up to his chest. He tensed at the slightest noises, eyes darting to where Cassius and Leander slept. “Uh… so do you want me talk like the Protector, or like…my other persona? Or just not talk at all.”

I am interested in theory. Thing is, I like to keep my outline secret (HUGE outliner here 😂), and I don’t like sharing large amounts of my work on forums. I’m not against getting critiques from people, it’s more a matter of controlling who has access to my writing.

If my dad helps me set up an account on a secure writing software, something I can…[Read more]

I survived ENT! 🙂 I suspected my vasovagal syncope would trigger, but it didn’t, and that was a good thing.
