freedom

Sorry if no one wants it to be this hyper specific, but I think it might make roleplaying easier in the long run. If the boys will be in the gymnasium a lot

This is a really huge gymnasium, but it makes perfect sense for a bunch of chaotic boys.

A few questions. Should this gymnasium take up pretty much all of the back of the academy? Should it be in the main feature back there or should we put it to the east or west side? Or is it completely separate from the main building?

the path from the main…

a map would be great

Giving this kid the break he needs

@whalekeeper Moth still following? 

Ellis 

Ellis let his feet lead as his mind wandered. He soon found himself on a gravel path outside meandering down a hill towards the gardens. It was much quieter out here. Two yellow butterflies flitted into view, dancing around each other, and he paused a moment to w…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I like this! Yes, please do a visual. Even a simple one would be great.

@whalekeeper

That is a great idea. I’d much appreciate a visual, even if it’s just a basic “there’s stuff here, and here, and here” type thingy

So I imagined the gymnasium itself as a huge, high ceilinged building with skylights, all sorts of equipment (mats, bars, climbing wall, a court for various ball games or tennis, a wrestling square, and a few fencing strips), and a door to an enclosed indoor archery range (as that would likely be safer than an outdoor range where there’s more…[Read more]

Obviously I can’t draw anything skilled. But I need the digital equivalent of a scribble on a whiteboard

@elishavet-pidyon

I really like the idea of setting the gym so it’s half inside, half outside, with the open doors to the courtyard.

How about I try to do a quick drawing of what you described and post it so we have a visual? And we can add/change things as needed.

Having a basic visual would probably be helpful even if the gym was simpler, b…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon That sounds good. I appreciate the detail :]

I think Wilhelm is wanting to get on a horse. XD He will probably not be thrilled to be stuck indoors.

@loopylin

I keep thinking of a mix between Edwardian Boarding School Gyms, modern day gyms, and medieval tilting yards.

Martial arts are usually done indoors on mats, which would be quite unusual for many of our characters. Tilting and mele would probably benifit from being outside. Earlier RPs included a large horse/trail riding aspect, so I…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon so is it an outdoor gymnasium?

@elishavet-pidyon

Wolfgang 

He pranced along behind Wilhelm. “What should we do first? Swords or wrestling? Or I could race you!”

@ellette-giselle @MasterGaius_DonofArts

Wilhelm

The professor bowed back. His thick black hair curled around his head like sheep’s wool. When he straightened, he stood no taller than Wilhelm did. The man studied them with twinkling black eyes.

“You are warriors, are you? Beginning your day with a taste of battle? Well, my friends. I would go…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Aye, aye!

I think this is the art professor…. XD

Callum

Callum woke up dizzy. His ears buzzed. Hot water soaked his shirt and knees, and he slowly found himself to be on the floor in a puddle of water.

Oh, right. The chef had deigned to speak to him.

His face flushed with embarrassment, and he clutched his head, trying to regain his sense of balance. He stumbled back to his…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Whoops.

LeQoi

The child fell with unceremonious speed. LeQoi looked down at the crumpled figure on the floor and sighed patiently. It wasn’t everyday someone swooned at his feet, especially not as a natural response.

Perhaps the child could stay around.

“Let me know when he awakes.” He waved a long boned hand to the wide eyed…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @elishavet-pidyon

Y’all can create and control any professors you want! The only ones I should control by myself are the ones I create

@elishavet-pidyon

Yeah. I think Nick sometimes fall asleep because of other emotions, but it’s mostly laughter.

I pictured Callum to faint whenever he’s surprised, shocked, or frightened. And it’s a fainting spell, not sleeping, so he normally wakes up right away. It’s just blacking out for a short spell.
