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.

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.

Ellis

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

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.

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.

And I just asked Ellis a question. XD

He can answer or not or just shrug.

*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]

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.

George

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

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.

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]

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?”

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]

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]

Lucian

“I’m not interesting.” Lucian pulled another apple out of his pocket and began polishing it with his sleeve. Onyx eyed it jealously. “But animals usually seem to like me anyways.” He watched the cat as it found a sunny spot to sit down. “What sort of cat is it? I haven’t seen one that big before.”

George

“No. But I’m on duty today and I told the others I didn’t want them around.” George motioned vaguely towards the boy’s feet. “My cat doesn’t like everyone. You must be nice or interesting.”

Lucian

“…Hello,” he said quietly to the cat. He hesitated a long moment, wrestling with his own self-consciousness, then crouched down to pet it. The cat was friendly, and leaned into the strokes. Eventually it got bored though, and slunk out of his reach, but still hovered in the same area. He stood again and attempted to bru…[Read more]

Jack

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

*Gasp*

I have fans! I have fans that will stalk me!!! Must hire an entourage of security guards!!!! Must buy a purple sequin suit!!!!!

👮😎👮

They have a 20% acceptance rate though.😭😭😭

I may end up taking a gap year and doing the same so I can earn some money and also more credits to hopefully increase my chances at a scholarship.

It sounds like you are going to a university?

Something you may want to consider, check and see if there are any community colleges around you.…[Read more]

I know. *hands you wrinkle cream*

HA

I also have not been to college because I am extremely academically burnt out, but I’m glad I seem like someone who possibly has. (Going to ignore the old person comment.)

Sorry I can’t be helpful. Wishing you luck on your academic endeavors 👍

Hey Power, off topic, but I have to say I appreciate every comment you make, because you usually add something hilarious to KP lore. Loops and I were looking through a few older pages and stumbled across one of your contributions, and I laughed pretty hard. 🤣 Thank you for being so chaotic and memorable.

I work at (and am writing this from) the front desk of a college’s registrar’s office (The unofficial helpdesk of the college). What Elishavet and Koshka is pretty dead on.

I will add first of all that. . . it’s rather confusing. 🤣

We (College Admission and Registrar folks) expect students to know very little about the process…[Read more]

Ah. You just want to be included. XD

You haven’t gone to college, have you?

Moth

They entered the archery range and Moth recognized most of what he saw – or, at the very least, could guess what things were for.

The range stretched on and gave room for plenty of boys to practice shooting all at once. Arrows were already flying. A satisfying thwacking sound went off at regular intervals; the arrows…[Read more]

Hello! Good to hear from you! Thank you! I will let you know when I finish draft three!

Keep practicing with your animation! I’ll have to check out your channel again to see how you have progressed.

@theducktator

Glad to hear from you again as well. I hope college goes well for you. What are you trying to get into?

I’ve come out of my coffin because I saw an art base challenge thing and… well… yes. I realize im a day or two late but oh well. art block hit me like a truck so ive been looking for things to break the spell.

honestly too tired to put a ton of effort into it, but here it is anyway…

Tagging some old people

Oh my gracious. XD

What Elishavet said and also:

From the perspective of someone who’s both attended college, is attending college, and has worked in college admissions offices…Remember, colleges want students. Colleges need students. They will be looking for reasons to make you pick them, not reasons to…[Read more]

Tagging some old people:

Lol.

I do attend college! (Have graduated from a secular college and am now attending a Christian one) I’m not sure I can help with one that requires an interview, but I can try. Is there anything specific you are wondering about?

I will say….

Do you know what career or career field you are interested…[Read more]

The comic is coming along slowly lol. Writing scripts has turned out to be my weak point XD I like want to start actually drawing the comic…but then I don’t know what I’m drawing without it so I’m stuck in a loop. I think I’m getting close to a…[Read more]

I’ve been doing great! I’ve missed your stories lol, when the third draft is finished will we be able to read it?

I’ve been working on animation; my dad has a friend who does animation as a side job so he’s been giving me tips. It’s pretty cool. My skills are nowhere near good…[Read more]

Hellooooooo! Good to see you around! :-p

The themes, messages, character dynamics, the ✨plot✨, everything is starting to come together and becoming what I think Leon and Riker’s trilogy needs for their finale.

Good for you! I bet it’ll be satisfying to finally conclude everything and put the characters to rest, so to spe…[Read more]

Idk, tbh. I think my world has different kinds of foods that are normal but to u they are weird. I’ve eaten live squid before. I like eating live seafood. Is that crazy?

What about u? What’s the weirdest thing u’ve eaten?

George

George opened the stall door. She gave the mare a strong series of pats, then brushed a hand along the mare’s side, making sure the animal knew where the human was at all times. Spooking a new horse was a surefire way to get kicked.

Onyx’s coat already shone, catching the same glow that lit the stall’s wood grain walls. Georg…[Read more]
