Ah! I remember Jack. Not much about him, but I do remember his vague aesthetic. It’ll be fun to watch this unfold.

Yes. Reports of its dead are greatly exagerated.
Moved into college this week so a lot of changes all at once. Glad to be back.
Wilhelm
Wilhelm clasped his hands loosely behind his back and let his body relax.
“Perhaps everyone needs humbling.” The words ghosted out of his mouth, voiceless as a passing wind. The rhythm of weapons striking the spells behind him covered even that. His heart was beginning to beat with the melody, hard and fast but continuous. Steel on wood and rope. A seed of war. He gritted his teeth.
Why wear a gambeson if all he would do was listen to others talk?

Oh dear. Mission accomplished I guess lol. I was thinking it would be a fun writerly joke, especially if
Yeah, I haven’t really come up with many specific rules that they have. I usually just think about it, then add whatever I can come up with that makes sense.
That does make sense.
There’s not too many that I have right now. There’s only really six that really tie into the plot, so they’re pretty much all I’ve had to mention.
Six is still a lot. Your world sounds quite immersive!

You probably are fire. 🔥Authors are usually insightful about that sort of thing.
Oh electric guitar!!💥🎸🎵 Super cool! Although your comment on the cables is concerning. 😐👀 I hope your guitar is ok. How long have you been playing? Does it have a name?
I can absolutely appreciate an oversized burger… 🤤 although I don’t get them as often as I like, so I’ll enjoy almost any bacony-cheesy burger I can get. 🧀🥓🍔 I have tried a PB&J bacon cheeseburger! It was pretty good, ngl.😏Although my pastor, who had taken me out for Sunday lunch, said it was an abomination. 🤣 He’s funny like that. Makes lots of good memories. 🤣

Erp. This is long and rambling. Sorry it doesn’t seem to go anywhere… He is up for sparring, should others desire, but he is unlikely to interrupt the conversation.
Wilhelm
He bowed his slightly when Wolfgang released his sleeve. His friend was certainly taking the “make possible contacts” part of their plan more zealously than Wilhelm had ever intended. He moved to form a triangle in the group and nodded when Jasper addressed him.
But he did not respond. Wilhelm let the conversation run back to Wolfgang. For one, it was easier. There was no need to stand in that flood. For two, he finally had a chance to study Jasper without needing to engage in a polite mask beyond a vaguely attentive smile. Focusing his gaze on Wolfgang freed up all his peripheral vision for Jasper.
Taking another stab at this, am I? The same prickling of competition tingled in Wilhelm’s blood. His deep green eyes flicked to Jasper and back again to Wolfgang.
“They will not understand your title, sirrah. In most countries, a warrior knight is beneath royalty.” Artur Kemp’s voice echoed behind Wolfgang’s list of hobbies. “Beware. You are a servant but not one of theirs.”
“Someday Reinhard will take Papa’s place I suppose, so I don’t know what I shall do! Enjoy living I guess.”
Wilhelm pressed his eyes shut for a moment, balancing his own thoughts with Wolfgang’s. A laugh bubbled inside him, although it stayed there where no one else would hear it. What would it be like to not know what you would do with your life? The where and the when were enough questions in themselves.
“Ah, yes.” Jasper spoke with an easy cadence, warm and authoritive. “I perfectly understand …. I tell my little sisters that their only responsibility is to enjoy… limits of our summer mansion grounds… never left it. Why did you want to come here?”
That made Wilhelm pause. His focus centered completely on one person again. Not Wolfgang.

Hi Enid! 👋
Umm.. I’m not sure why. My author is so preoccupied with getting ready for this semester in college that she forgets to check in on me. 😏 But then your author seems to trust you with her account enough to let you on willingly. But IDK. Maybe we weren’t old enough. 😅
I am Jayson Barans. 😎 I’m a guy in a great, though intense, boarding school and a viola in the school symphony. 🎻 Also a Canadian/American. 🍁🦅 I like energy bars and bacon cheeseburgers. (Especially bacon cheeseburgers…) What about you?

On behalf of the last few weeks.. months… Years….

Ok this is funny. Wolfgang may actually be vaguely familiar with that term, since it’s an old German/Bavarian folk tale that continued to be prevalent into the early 1900s, especially since several naturalists studied it and thought the creature really existed.
Wilhelm
“A dragon that lives in mountains and dazzles its prey to their deaths.” He had to laugh a little at the comparison once it was out of his mouth. “And yes, I know his name. We met last night. We are neither friends nor foes, but he was polite enough. Invited me to battle this morning.” Wilhelm trailed off as he watched the lordly prince continue to lurk about the bushes. There was a determination to his movements that only grew in peculiarity the longer Wilhelm watched.
“What a strange interest in foilage. He must be after someone.”
ChaosGremlin™
Glad you’re back!
Ahhh Wolfgang! Lol.
Hmm.
By the by, Wilhelm is so funny. Like, he’s a cinnamon roll that lives in such a violent world that it’s normal for him. 😂 He’s considering Jasper’s unofficial appointment to the field quite seriously. The only thing that makes a meeting “friendly” is if fake/blunted weapons are used. He will fight like he’s in open battle and must protect his leige/knight/father. Wild squire child. If anyone has read Men of Iron, he’s got a big of Myles Falworth in him.
Wilhelm
“What? Who?”” Wilhelm planted his feet, a in action that stopped Wolfgang just long enough for Wilhelm to sort out the boy’s words. There, hunting around the courtyard was Jasper. His following loitered about the area, keeping a little distance from a tall, dark eyed man in the doorway.
Or was he simply an older boy? Wilhelm frowned as Wolfgang propelled them forward again. There was a constant stream of excited thoughts pouring from Wolfgang.
“Do you know Jasper? We have an appointment to meet on the field of friendly combat. You might join…” Once more, Wilhelm found himself interjecting his own words into he stream. He had to wonder if they would make it against the current. His sleeve was getting twisted horribly around his arm where Wolfgang’s fingers were latched on. Wilhelm set his teeth. “If it please your grace, may we approach people at a civil speed? You move like a young tatzelwurm.”
ChaosGremlin™
Oh wow. These are fabulous!
I love the KeePer one. And all of them. It’s funny how Ari gets the same spot on both charts while everyone else moves around.
ChaosGremlin™
YASSSSS. XD
Oh, I love those. Thank you. I think the sword ones (and by extension the Wilhelm ones) and Ari/Moth were my favorite, although Moth’s contrasting dynamic is worthy of applause. May this offering, which has certainly placed you in high praises among us, also put you in good favor with the site.

Aw Lucian. He and his brother seem to be different sides of the same coin. I like them.
Loud bells/ringing
Interesting. Touche as well, but interesting.
