Moth

Moth frowned. He only understood the emotions in Ari’s voice, but it seemed rude to ask more questions. There was the desire to know, and the desire to be polite.

The former won. “Do middle children die easily?”

@whalekeeper

Ari

Moth looked sincere if a little uncertain. Ari looked away to study the scarlet scrolling on the wall.

“I…”

better himself…help his kindred…troubles…this boy was good hearted, even if he did seem a bit unsettled.

Ari was just unsettled.

“Guess I didn’t want to repeat history. Kind of the middle child, so to speak.…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

Why are you here?

Moth paused. His eyes flickered thoughtfully. The best answer was at the tip of his tongue, even if it wasn’t the full answer. “I want to better myself. Learn everything I can, so I can help my little scattered kindred with their troubles.”

He didn’t understand the full truth himself. He laughed without opening…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ari

The ghost of a smile flickered into view.

Moth. That… Strangely explained the boy’s oddness. Child of nobody. Well, that was certainly an improvement on his own situation.

“Names, yes. They don’t have to be long to be a mouthful.”

Other residents had started to take belated interest in their conversation. The dark Verenion…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

“Ari,” Moth repeated. A good name, and easy to remember.

Ari was waiting for something.

“Moth Prince. Son desiderium, child of nobody.” He stepped forward, curving his body into a graceful bow. “That’s a bit of a mouthful. It’s… you know how it is. Call me Moth.”

@whalekeeper

Ari

He gave the boy a slow nod of respect. Certainly didn’t look like someone who would let himself be bossed around by superficial authority figures.

But his question stuttered Ari’s brain to silence. His name? Everyone knew who he was–or if they didn’t, they sure thought they did.

New boy…Right. He relaxed against the…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

Moth’s smile became less pronounced until only a faint quirk in the corner of his mouth was left. “No. I won’t.”

This prince was tall and a touch older. He looked like a wild creature. Not physically, of course. But his eyes and demeanor barely repressed a dark energy underneath. Perhaps he was a wildcat, passively flicking his…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That’s alright! This last week has been nuts for us too.

Ari

The strange golden headed boy gestured a greeting and…smiled. Ari blinked, then slowly reached up to brush his black curtain of hair from his eyes. Hesitated.

Probably a new kid. He’ll ignore me tomorrow.

Still. Might as well be polite.

Ari pressed a fist to his…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I ought to reply to Ruth next. I’ll try to post in the next day or so

@highscribeofaetherium

FOUR? Oh my 🤣

Yes 🤣 Five if you count the fact that one of the earlier characters had two masks instead of one.

but as the story progresses he moves down the spectrum a bit towards the evil side. At this point he’s probably somewhere in between.

I’m curious to know if this guy is going to be a problem for the other c…[Read more]

@koshka (@loopylin and @mineralizedwritings too, just so y’all know I’m moving my character)

I meant to reply right away, Koshka. I am sorry for the delay. But alas, many things happened this week. :’)

Also this rp is rather long, but it is what it is.

Moth

Lois and Flax left the table, and Moth almost followed them. But someone blocked his w…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

(yes, it is a coincidence that he has a mask. They must be in style lol)

Acharis is among his kin XD Now there have been four different people with masks. Clearly this is a labyrinth motif.

Antagonist, you say. What is Acharis’ moral alignment? Is he evil, or just pitted against your story’s main characters for some…[Read more]

@rae

I read your rp while in Gabriel’s character, and that was a mistake. The end was a knife, and I could feel it.

Ha haaaa. I’m so mean to him. *Throws my arm over Gabriel’s shoulder* Don’t worry, everything’s going to be okay.

By the way, I’m on vacation in my childhood town, which I haven’t seen for… six years? Something like that. I’m v…[Read more]

@loopylin ur good cuz I was honestly worried you had RPed and I’d left u hanging lol…

I kinda feel like a bit of a failure writing wise 😅 I know I shouldn’t but I think it’s because I’d gotten such a strong routine the previous months and then gotten burnt out and now…am not writing anything at all. Nothing.

@whalekeeper

Here. I’ll move him into the hall.

Ari

Mother, you seem to show great concern for my well-being. Know that I am currently breathing. —Your son, Ari

He folded the note, creasing the edges to crisp sharpness. His archer’s ring left an odd wing shape in the blob of plain beeswax he spilled as a seal.

The runner came to attention…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yes! I would love interaction. You also can move Ari around if needed. Get him in trouble. Whatever.

*Absently reaches for chips*

@keilah-h

I don’t think he will either

@koshka

*Watches you from the shadows as you eat potato chips*

*Steals the potato chip can*

Would you like it if I come up with an excuse for Moth to meet Ari?

@rae @loopylin @keilah-h

I’m making life so hard for Gabriel rn

Lucille

As the rest of the group talked, they faded into the background, and the voices themselves became meaningless noise.

Gabriel was trembling. His mask was off, and his eyes were glazed over as he listened to screams no one else could hear.

It was easy to imagine what the s…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

That would be cool!! And hurray for summer! XD Who would you add?
