Well done! I appreciate how you wrote that in a way that a younger audience wouldn’t understand his implications, yet you didn’t shy away from the point. And oh, Ara.

She should have told him. But that’s not an easy thing to say.

And November. Dear, loving November.

I hope this Uncle beats the snot from that kid in one way or…[Read more]

@theducktator

100%

Go look at Alcatraz if anyone disagrees with that statement,

@hybridlore

Lolol. you seemed pretty convinced…… 😂

Well, the overseers are cruel and they picked Ian as their target. They want him to live in the absolute terror that he could slip up any moment and that would be the end. It’s a terror that drives him crazy. He already had that rebellious spark and a sort of fire about him to begin with,…[Read more]

Rory

Rory let out a slow breath. He even gave Leo a slight smile as they road up the elevator. He was still turning the older boy’s words over in his mind. It didn’t make much sense. After all, they said that fear was weakness and that’s why they were punishing him and the others. Rory chewed on his lip and then quickly stopped,…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal
Oh my goodness! 🫢 I can’t believe it… She’ll be in my prayers. 😥😥💕💕

@ellette-giselle

XD

Leo

He paused with his hand on the elevator button and looked back at Rory.

“Be a bit hard to thrash fear out with more fear, don’t you think?” He watched the kid’s eyes narrow a bit in thought, then continued half to himself. “No, they wanted you to be more afraid of them than anything else, not make you unafraid. Only…[Read more]

@liberty

Ooo! No I haven’t!!

@ellette-giselle

Actually, that scene with Leon was inspired by a true account I read! Wonder if it’s the same one?

Well, the one that touched me was in a movie. Maybe you’ve heard of it? “The War to End all Wars”? It’s a WW2 film.

@linus-smallprint

Think so?

I mostly write fiction so it would be interesting.

Maybe if I did a fiction-like sort of retelling… like how Little Women is Alcott’s biography but with a few fiction twists. That might make it easier to write.

@linus-smallprint

Lololol. We must remember that I wrote that when I was much younger and wasn’t fully sure where I stood… 😂

Okay then. If that works then that’s great!

The fire thing was actually one of my favorite memories!! I want to write a book about it sometime. (I’d like to write about the whole experience of having church during…[Read more]

@koshka

Okay!

“I met a knight once. He got it by writing some three hundred line long poem about something or other. Thinnest, most absent minded man I ever saw.”

I. Just. Died.

Rory

Rory’s brow furrowed and a frightened look came to his eyes. “I…” he swallowed and licked his lips. “I think we have knights. We call them Agents… the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I was thinking up the elevator to the top floor and a empty office (possibly with a frustrated teacher who was trying to prepare their next lesson and got dropped on the head)?

Leo

“Knighted?” His eyebrows furrowed together. “It’s an archaic practice of dedicating elite soldiers called knights. A thousand years ago boys would…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Yay!!! He’s back!!

That would definitely work better, giving Julian some time to come to terms with his grief.

Perfect. I made the switch this morning actually.

Why is the first thing that comes to mind the scene from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie?

ya know…. that works. I think I had a scene from my own mind in my…[Read more]

@liberty

*grin* Yup. That never works for an excuse!

Yup. lololol.

Actually, that scene with Leon was inspired by a true account I read! Wonder if it’s the same one?

@ellette-giselle

“Lord, all that’s down there is trouble. Nothing good happens out here after dark. I’m going home.”

*grin* Yup. That never works for an excuse!

Go now, and sin no more,

Perfect!

The whip tore into his back again and Leon felt himself jerk with the force of the blow. Oh God, forgive them!

Oh. WOW. I love this scene! Not because…[Read more]

@koshka

ball’s in your court ma’am. i have no idea where we’re going.

Rory

Rory walked beside Leo, trying to force the limp from his steps. His mind was slowly working over what Leo had said, and he risked a glance at the older boy. “Leo… what’s knighted?”

@ellette-giselle

Probably. XD

Leo

“Sir Leo?” A grin twitched at his mouth. “Don’t think I’ve been knighted yet–and not likely ever to be–, and I’m definitely not a senior officer.” he laughed, amused despite Rory’s too serious expression.

“I’d be glad to have you with me. Let’s go argue with an ancient AC unit.”

He led the way out the door,…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Haha!!! I love that meme so much!

@koshka

Ooops! 😂

Wow, I have no idea what was even going on. I think Leo and Rory were having “brother time” 😄

Rory

Rory looked up quickly. “I’ll come with you right now!” He scrambled up. “That is, I’ll come with you now… if you would like me to… if your orders are to do so… sir… Leo.”

He shifted from one foot to the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

(Almost started this RP with my Russian keyboard on. Definitely not what I expected to be typing. XD)

Leo

The last screw dropped into the bucket. Leo looked up from his tinkering with the radios at the sudden stop of the steady plink, tink sounds.

“All done? Great job. We just got a work order for an AC unit. Sounds like it’s…[Read more]
