He’s going to try to answer that call for Church leaders that came from the town. The monumental things are how on earth he would even have a chance of getting out of the Capital with the lockdown. The minute he can get out, Joseph and whoever else would be off. So, to have the door open while he’s seventeen would be silly if he…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Why does he have to become an elder? I think (if I’m understanding this right) if the important things are happening while he is seventeen, that’s where you want to be. Maybe he can be a part of the inner core group of the church without being an elder, sort of getting mentored by everyone else.

However, you’re right. If all t…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Um, I want him to be redeemed. lol.

For this I want to see him reacting in shame. If this is a big deal, I need to see it as a big deal.

Like, what is the most shameful or embarrassing thing that ever happened to you? (Don’t actually answer that. lol) Think how it made you feel, and then put yourself in the woods with some…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint   @hybridlore

Somebody help me!!!!!!! I’m going insane!!!!!!

Okay, not really, but I am stuck and I’m having one of those uninspiring days when words are just black spots on a white screen.

If that makes sense.

Ugh.

Okay, so I am going to do something very monumental in Joseph’s life………… except I’m stuck.

I d…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ah, okay.

In that case, I don’t want to dig into it too much at the moment, since his character is going nowhere else in book 1, but I definitely am planning to deal with this in book 2. Maybe I will see if I can add a sense of shame into the end of that last chapter, but that will be it.

Where exactly are you hoping Eric’s…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I normally do that, but this time I forgot. :/

Do you think it is okay to leave him like this, or should I put something else in to temporarily satisfy the reader?

I think we might be sim-understanding one another.

I don’t think Eric was ashamed ENOUGH. Like, the words on the paper said he was ashamed, but he didn’t feel…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yup. Sure did. My dad was stationed in Italy, and there you travel by REAL trains. With several carriages and an engine. We used to spend our vacations in Edelweiss Germany up in the alps. I’ve also been to Austria, Rome, Greece, and Switzerland. I wish I could do it again now that I’m older and can appreciate it. Although, liv…

@hybridlore

You can’t just steal all of them. Otherwise I won’t post anything else. Pic who you want and let the others go.

@ellette-giselle

Probably. 🤔

Ehh, fine, you can take the rest of them. Just don’t do anything to Sabina or Joseph or Julian. 🤪

@hybridlore

On second thought, maybe I’ll leave Joseph alone and do bad things to Asher, Eric, Noah, Darrien, and OH! And SABINA!!!!!

@hybridlore

That might be why I haven’t posted anything recently……..

@ellette-giselle

Remember?!? I STOLE Joseph. So you can’t kill him!!!!!

I will let you borrow him to finish writing/editing your book if you say you will be NICE to him. Otherwise, he’s my character now.

@linus-smallprint

Ugh. It deleted my reply.

I liked this chapter a lot, though I have read most of it. lol.

I feel like you kinda brushed over the shame thing with Eric, and I’m hoping that’s because he’s too freaked out to think though what happened. I hope to see some more repercussion of that later on.

I like how Alan and Tyn dealt with…[Read more]

@hybridlore

What does this mean exactly?? 🤨

Wouldn’t you like to know.

@keilah-h

That would have been the strangest acronym for a missionary story ever lol

I know, right!

all I’m saying is, if you’re gonna kill Joseph, make it completely different from Aaron’s and Adrian’s deaths. Have the Empire chuck him off a cliff or something, I don’t…

I’d join, though I won’t be on much for about 2 weeks, until co-op is over for the semester.

@keilah-h The shading looks awesome! Did you draw that?

@ellette-giselle

*gasp*!!!! You stole my book!!!!!!!! How dare you!!!

I dare. And I’ll do it to this one too! Ha ha!!! (Also, you are at 8 exclamation marks now. I think I have good grounds to be concerned.)

Oh my goodness! Did you just say “taking the train to school”!!!! THAT IS AWESOME!!! I used to take trains a lot when I lived in Europe, but…

Next chapter. This was getting a little long and I realized I didn’t have too much planned for chapter the 26th, so I decided to move the climax of the rescue into the next chapter. I should hopefully get that to you by the end of this week.

Chapter the 25th – The Rescue
