Ellis

Ellis smiled at Remington, using his nice smile instead of his natural one, which was all crooked to one side.

“Pleased to meet you. And you as well… Callum? I think I heard?”

The boy made a sound that could have meant anything. Ellis took it as confirmation.

“I think you could use some fresh air. Should we step out…[Read more]

Wren

“No, you’re fine. It’s- that’s helpful.” Wren looked at him for a moment, lost in thought, before suddenly giving a start and opening her notebook. She scratched a few things down in shorthand.

“Do you, uh, have names? Of the people involved? Were’s the student who was targeted by the kidnappers? Is he doing alright…[Read more]

Remington

Callum sighed as if still recovering. Poor thing. It must have been wrong to ask him so many questions. Remington, biting his own cheek in subdued guilt, patted him on the shoulder.

He turned back to Ellis. “Remington LaCreux, prince of… well, technically king of Surabond. If you look on the map, we’re that country that…[Read more]

Ellis

Ellis returned the bow as best he could without letting go of Callum’s arm. He didn’t yet trust him to stand on his own.

“Prince Ellis Lysander Stormwatcher of Sinulon. And you?”

@loopylin

Remington

“My current theory is that he has fainted from pure joy,” Remington explained. The stranger next to them came up and took Callum’s other arm.

Callum groaned. He seemed to regain focus, and rubbed his temples. “I… faint easily. You… overwhelmed me.”

“Ah. Maybe I overstepped just a little bit.” Remington brought his left…[Read more]

Ellis Stormwatcher 

Ellis exited the dining hall, his spirits and head held high. The food had been excellent, legendary even, and he had talked and laughed with a great group of boys his age. As he walked, reciting off his new friends’ names in his head to remember them, he nearly tripped over a book. He recovered his balance an…[Read more]

Wolfgang 

“I can swim and row and climb. I fence and I brought my sword with me. I do some grappling as well, and other hand-to-hand fighting. And I could shoot a gun! If I had one. I want one, but Papa keeps forgetting. At least, that’s what he says. I play the piano, I’ve played for years. I’m working on my masterpiece.…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh whoops, tags. @keilah-h @whalekeeper @rae

Mel

“Oh, okay…You don’t look like aliens…” Mel pulled her coat tighter around herself. She glanced over at Lucy just as Lucy and the other man glanced back at her.

She felt weird. She wished people would stop looking at her. But she also wanted a hug. Or a way back to her duck pond. Or a warmer coat. Or a cheese stick. She didn’t know.…[Read more]

Marcel

“When I first got here, I made friends with a younger kid, the headmaster’s son. He was getting beat up by his own brothers.” Marcel’s mouth tightened at the memory. “We tried to report it but… nothing happened. I haven’t seen him in a while. Things happen in the open and the teachers do nothing about it. Punching matches in th…[Read more]

@koshka

However, he is influencing my sister.

Hehehehehhe

He is sixteen years old and already contemplating disowning his family.

We love a snarky, rebellious teenager. The energy Ari gives off is palpable, and you haven’t even written him yet.

@loopylin

It would be funny if all the characters were mostly clueless about other countries and had n…

@whalekeeper

Can Ellis talk to Callum and Remi?

@theshadow

Sniper

“But that sounds kind of cool though, putting down animals. I mean, you’re killing, er, putting them down for a good cause. Although that sounds a little tough having to see that animal and uh, you know, eliminate it. But you must be used to it, right? Sorry, this all sounds wrong-” Trevor stuttered.

Azalea cut in before he co…[Read more]

Huntress

Mell giggled at Soldier as he tried to avoid Runt.

She then turned to me. “What, um… Who are you guys?”

I wasn’t exactly sure how to tell her what we were without freaking her out. “We’re, from, uh…a a galaxy really far from here.” I finally explained, trying to make it decently easy to understand. “We w…[Read more]
