This is making me want to go out and shoot some guns again

@loopylin makes sense lol, you’re welcome btw!

@keilah-h right yes I knew that sounded weird. I wrote that when I was half asleep

@loopylin Not to butt in but when you’re talking about bows and arrows, it’s nocked, not cocked. Cocked is for guns.

@koshka @whalekeeper

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.

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari

He nodded and picked up the rod.

“Arm.” Ari quickly measured Ellis’s draw length and went back to the rack of bows. A slightly longer recurve would do.

“Here. This one’s about fifteen pounds too. I don’t want you two shooting me with a bow you can’t control. If you’re going to shoot someone it had better be on…[Read more]

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.

@koshka @whalekeeper

Ellis

He shook his head. “I haven’t done archery in a long while. You may need to teach me as well.”

@koshka

I Am Alive!!!!!

Good to hear it! XD

Such attitude, such floof.

The more attitude and floof, the better.

Did fairy’s have dominant eyes? “Never mind.

I would imagine so. I have not decided if he is a righty or a lefty.

@loopylin

George

“Sort of have. What, should I be afraid of you?” George pushed her hat brim up so she could size Lucian up. Her eyes narrowed into dark slits.

@loopylin

And I just asked Ellis a question. XD

He can answer or not or just shrug.

I Am Alive!!!!!

*Ahem*

@loppylin @whalekeeper

I love the cat. Such attitude, such floof.

Ari

Rythmic thuds of broadheads into targets pulsed as a heartbeat. Only a handful of students were practicing, their vows a range from graceful limbed recurves to longbows as tall as their archers. High windows some fifteen feet up the outer wall let in…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Lucian

“You’ve never worked for nobility before, have you?” Lucian said. He did what she wanted anyway, feeling mildly amused. Onyx didn’t seem to understand what he was doing at first and pulled her head away, but after some gentle coaxing under his breath, he was able to get her to stay still.

@loopylin

George

“It’s for Onyx’s face. Be gentle,” she commanded.

@whalekeeper

Lucian

Lucian caught the brush reflexively letting his apple fall and roll across the floor. He looked at it and then over at George, raising one eyebrow.

@loopylin

George

“George.”

Lucian seemed like a quiet sort of person. Not loud or obnoxious. George could tolerate some people, like him, as long as they didn’t get in the way or catch her in a bad mood.

She might have to learn to tolerate everyone here, though. Not just from a distance. That wasn’t a fun thought.

She got up from brushing the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Lucian

Lucian smiled at the informality. At home it would have bothered him, but here it was a sort of relief, not being recognized.

“Lucian.” It felt odd leaving out the full title. “What’s yours?”

@loopylin

George

“She’s a Maine Coon.”

The cat began to close her eyes, but one of the horses let out a loud whinny, and the cat took offense. She flicked an ear grumpily, got up, and padded back to the boy and girl. She tensed her back haunches and leaped onto George’s back.

Luckily the stablehand had strong shoulders, wide enough to s…[Read more]

@theducktator

Is that different? And I think so…

Colleges focus on undergraduate degrees (Associates and sometimes Bachelor) and certificates. Universities typically offer all of those plus Graduate degrees (Masters and PH.Ds).

College are smaller, so smaller class sizes (20 to 30 student), more personalized attention, a tighter-knit e…[Read more]

@koshka @whalekeeper I am having trouble writing for Ellis rn, so feel free to skip my turn. He’s just there
