Well you certainly scared me. My little sis will freak when I read that part out loud.

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel knelt by Lucy. “Tell me what’s wrong. Lucy?”

Idk, what else to write, sorry 🙁

@loopylin

The girl’s wide eyes dulled from silver to gray, and a final puff of air escaped her stone lips.

WAITWHATNO FELICITY

@rae

That second to last paragraph was really good, I like the way you wrote it.

Lucille

Lucy dropped the hatchet on the floor and walked several paces, realizing that it wouldn’t be too good to fall on it. A kid in the east fields had fallen on his father’s ax two years ago and there had been many cautionary stories before that.

She slid to…[Read more]

That was 100% big brother Gabriel

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

As he walked on, Gabriel was internally debating if it was safe for Lucy to have a hatchet or not. When she was carrying his knife, she was careful, but that was briefly. Now she was toting a dangerous little blade with her like a trinket. As they passed through the rooms, Gabriel took some leather and a sewing kit he…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I also have some good ideas basing off Whaley’s poem.

Be my guest! I just riffed on what I remembered of the characters lol

@rae

Violent of the “kill everything” type.

XD Oh Gabriel, you force of nature

Lucille

Lucy peered out the window at the crows. “They’re real handsome birds when they’re not so close up.”

She eyed the room’s mantelpiece noticing a handle sticking from the ornate wood. It was a small silver hatchet. Without hesitation, she yanked it free of it…[Read more]

@keilah-h

none of him home monsters look humanoid, so he might not have a kill reaction, but you bet they will be getting death glares at least. He might be a little protective of Lucy…

@whalekeeper

I’m good with anything that happens as long as Lucy stays with Gabriel. She’d be none too happy if they got separated

Gabriel feels the same, though he might have a more violent reaction than her if they got separated. Violent of the “kill everything” type.

@loopylin

Not that your characters would know this, but, just clarifying, the labyrinth doesn’t have an owner. It’s sort of sentient on its own, kinda, and more like a force of nature than anything else.

Yep! I know, but Gabriel most definitely would assume there’s a person behind this, not a bunch of crazy night owl writers lol…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Can you guys describe your characters?

Oh! Yeah I can do that. Barnes is just a tall woman with chopped blonde hair. Wears very old-style clothing from maybe the 40s, a suit in this. Also a white mask with dark eyeholes. Little Lucy is literally the same but without the mask and with even shorter hair.

It’s cool you want to draw this! B…[Read more]

@keilah-h

5 is Ayla, Ducktator’s character

@loopylin

You can always make them lose their way and come back to them another time. The mist could warp time and they’d wander around without doing anything significant for days on end. So you can do something else in the meantime.

@keilah-h

😂 Ah yes, the Wings of Fire prophecy. Glad you like the poem. I would’ve liked to do every character justice but I don’t know their character arcs and whatnot.

@loopylin

Yep that’s correct

@loopylin

The way I’ve imagined it, the labyrinth is really good at acting like it has a mastermind. It’s not a person and doesn’t have a person behind it, but it can mechanically detect, reflect and manipulate real people’s thoughts. No one within the story wrote the poem; it just spontaneously manifested because of how the labyrinth…[Read more]

@rae

Lucille

Lucy did as she was told and more; she slid every candle into her trouser belt and pockets. The flames flickered around her waist like a burner under a pan and she hissed with restrained laughter.

The poem didn’t make much sense. Was it about people who had already escaped? Had they died? She recognized Gabriel’s title, but the res…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Okay, glad you’re alright.

Also, I like the poem

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

As Lucy read the poem, the voices grew louder, hissing their jargon in his mind. He wanted to shout at them to stop, but kept his voice silent, not wishing to disturb Lucy.

“That’s alright, thank you. You read much better than I.” Gabriel tried to keep h…[Read more]

@rae

My hand is fine now. I was rather miffed because I burnt my hand yesterday too, pulling steak out of the oven.  It’s never bad burn, just painful for ten minutes or so.

Baking is indeed fun and time-consuming
