Wolfgang 

H grinned. “Good, I’m glad.” He let out a long breath. “I’m so thirsty! I could drink a river!”

@koshka

Moth

”I’ve only met two other people, at dinner. What about you?”

@ellette-giselle Good. =D

@whalekeeper

Ari

His mother? He sat down and folded his arms across his drawn up knees.

This boy didn’t know about his family. His chin came up a fraction. There would be no misinformation or preconceived motions to combat.

“She’s a beautiful woman. Gracious, gentle hearted, a true queen. She’s a noblewoman by birth…[Read more]

Wilhelm

He looked back at Wolfgang. The boy’s eyes were so wide Wilhelm thought he could see his reflection.

“Ja. We’re friends.”

@ellette-giselle :]

@koshka

Moth

“A lamp or two. Yes.” Moth hung from the window by a hand, then dropped on all fours to the floor. He settled down peacefully in the middle of the room, cross-legged. His body, so brightly colored, almost lit up the dingy room by itself.

“What is your mother like? Did she send you here?” he asked.

@elishavet-pidyon

Wolfgang 

“I should say the same of your style. As for holding the House of Kemp in honor, I’d have done that from the moment we became friends. We are friends, aren’t we?” he added, looking anxiously at the boy.

That was rather short. Here’s an extension:

Quiet had returned to his room, but the place was pleasantly rattled. Woven rush mats lay in scattered heaps across the floor. The table was closer to the wall than it had been before. Wilhelm stretched is arms over his head and sighed.

“My terms are easy enough. You shall hold the House of Kemp in…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Wilhelm

He crouched on his heels and finally let his grin out.

“Thine ears perchance.” He handed Wolfgang’s sword back. “But it was a good fight. I’ve never seen a style like yours.”

@elishavet-pidyon

Wolfgang 

“I believe traditionally now would be the moment when you slash my throat for being such a dunce as to let you take my sword like that.” He laughed again. “But yes, I’ll parley if you like, and I’ll do it sitting down. I’m done in.” He threw himself on the floor as he said it, wiping his face with his sleeve.…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I so love these two!!

@whalekeeper

Oh my word. O.O

Ari

It was perfectly normal for people to walk up walls. Definitely. Ari’s unhinged mouth had nothing to do with it.

Definitely.

Black stars.

The window screeched open, letting in a want of misty night air. Ari managed to snap his mouth shut. Moth was talking again in his quiet way, crouched two feet over Ari’s…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

“But people don’t want dust on their clothes. I ought to get furniture, do you think?”

Ari wanted a window open; he had pointed at one of the squares in the multifaceted skylight.

Moth put his foot on the wall, then the other. The bottoms of his feet invisibly attached to the papered plaster. He walked up the wall, then hung…[Read more]

@loopylin

Acharis

A voice rang out, sounding unnaturally loud against the surrounding quiet. Acharis slid his mask back down as the… thing? stepped out of the shrubbery, spouting some nonsense about humans being ugly.

Look who’s talking, Acharis thought as he studied it through eyes that were narrowed in suspicion. His hand shifted closer to t…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ari

This place was old. Or maybe just forgotten. Words had never been his strong point.

It was also bare besides the coat of dust hanging around them, but Ari didn’t notice. His gaze was latched on the dim square of glass in the ceiling.

“Does it open?” He looked back at Moth. The boy had said something…ah.

“The floor’s a place…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

“No. But I’ll let you know if I do.”

Moth moved aside so Ari could see the gray door guarded a tiny, dilapidated staircase. The two of them walked up, steps creaking as they went.

At the top, Moth gazed at the empty attic-like room set before him. The darkening skylight cast little light in the corners and against the peeling…[Read more]

@liberty

I really want to, but I don’t think I can. I will look forward to seeing what y’all do!

@ellette-giselle

I’m going to try to respond. I have 3-5 hours left on this day’s work. My brain is pudding.

I have gone back and forth between options. Not sure which is better, but it’s about time it ended. Sword fights are usually resolved quickly. *dives into a martial arts lesson on sword disarming* *scrambles back breathless*

I think…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ohhhhh….   O0O

She is the great and terrible. XD

Ari

“I, err…” He brushed his hair back. Hang? Wasn’t that a form of execution? But no, the students here used it for something else. He had mentioned food. Ari nodded, the movement sending his hair back over his eyes. “Need someone beat up?”

@koshka

Moth

“You would have me fall into pride?” Moth joked, bowing thankfully.

He brightened, then checked himself. He waved an arm through his door. “Would you like to… um… hang out? Y-Yes. I could use some help with something. I have food, and I can entertain. Whatever you like.”

@koshka

Unless this was what you had been messing with…

I did do that. >:]

(Your name is hilarious)

Oh my word, I just realized the dog in my pfp looks like Toto from Oz. That was not intentional. I gave myself Oz’s title because I’m visiting my Midwestern childhood home, and I feel as if I am Dorothy, returned from a magical land to a famil…[Read more]
