Moth

“I am just looking for something to do with someone. This is a fun little mystery, but I would rather be with someone than go on an adventure by myself.”

Moth picked up the stick Ellis had dropped, which was a fine stick worth stealing. He twisted it idly like a baton. “I’ll follow you until you tell me I’m annoying.”
He might…[Read more]

Ellis

Ellis hesitated. He was used to ominous feelings and unsolved mysteries. The novelty faded quickly for him. Exploring with Moth sounded fun, but…

“I was going to go to the gymnasium. Practice some fencing.” It was something he had been looking forward to. He dropped his branch back on the ground and gave Moth a somew…[Read more]

@rae

KP no longer tags me, so I just have to think of checking.

I LOVE THAT IDEA!!! You could make that scene SO COOL!

@power

I love those kinds of characters and have several.

@whalekeeper not me trying to figure out whether or not my characters would recognize the name “Colorado” because the Spanish language and the name of the river (although it’s largely localized to one state/planet instead of multiple) both exist in their universe

in the end I decided not to bring it up lol

@whalekeeper

But I know a changeling story with a different, fun premise. It’s called The Oddmire: Changeling and it’s about a pair of twins.

I have had that same premise idea for a while now and I am simultaneously disappointed that someone beat me to it, and very happy that a story like that exists and is published. I shall check it out.

@rae

Did that leave you with more questions or answer some?

That answers enough questions. Although I guess I have one more. Is all this worldbuilding and character stuff new? I’m curious to know how the novella is coming along, what with this recent disclosing of information.

Yeah, it’s cool how many different ways the…[Read more]

Lucille

Lucy started, looking from Mel to the door. It had changed without the rest of them noticing. The stains of mud on the door made it look as if it belonged outside, pulled from a backyard or a porch.

Food sounded good. Lucy’s heart felt tired, in a good way, but that meant her body was tired too. She was a l…[Read more]

@loopylin

“I’ll call him Paul… Junior.”

Lucy inwardly cringed so hard when Mel said that

You can join whenever you want to. :]

Moth

“Perhaps we have.”

There was always a little more land ahead to search, and Moth would search longer if he was the only one there. He would wander out of the grounds. But he was always too tempted to follow a trail after it faded. It was such a strange idea to think that he was tied to a boarding school now, of all thi…[Read more]

@loopylin

I like this concerned mom character.

@whalekeeper

it’s been argued that changelings were an explanation for special-needs kids

That explains a lot

I should not be happy about this because if I lived in that time period someone probably would’ve murdered me by now, but I am happy about it.

now i just need cool stripes.

@whalekeeper

Wait, what scene is this? Is this a scene where he almost dies in the middle of the story, or is this the end of his story?

I guess it’s my turn to be a tease. I can’t tell you yet, because if I tell you, I’m gonna bury myself into it more and neglect what I actually *should* be working on. I will say this however, it’s at a point…[Read more]

What?! I wanna know!

I was going to say if it was his ending and you decided to bring him back, maybe he loses his connection to the wind permanently and that’s his punishment rather than dying. But idk if that…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I do believe you’re just mentioning the chest compressions to pacify me, though.

No, no they actually do bring him back to life. He’s alive, just a little bit in shock because of the wind loosing connection and how his heart stopped.

There’s actually a “cool” explanation behind what or who stopped his heart.

Oh. Actually, I have…

Ellis

They reached the trees on the edge of the field and continued wandering, keeping the school in sight. The tension from the vision and finding the dead bird was eased by time and the peaceful nature surrounding them. Ellis picked up a broken branch off the ground. It could have been broken by the metal man, or just as easily…[Read more]

I felt this rp needed a concerned mom character
