Moth could explain what a robot is, but he doesn’t know very well himself.

Moth

The faerie continued walking. “It came with Lois Thorne. A quiet metal man, it was. Perhaps he commanded it to go into these gardens. I do not know why.”

Sorry it’s short:

to make things easier for myself, im just gonna say that this AU version of Ellis has read about robots

@whalekeeper

Ellis

“You did? Where?”

@keilah-h

LOLLL Soldier is something special.

@whalekeeper

Why can’t Gabriel leave the island? Are there crazy storms that make it impossible to sail away? Or is it the demon monsters that get in the way?

The island is in a state of isolationism that started 200 years ago because of the rise of the monsters. So yeah, the monsters are the r…[Read more]

Moth

“Ghosts can walk, although they cannot leave footprints. It might be a Neighbor, taking hold of a physical vessel. But that is unlikely. It is most likely a machine.”

Moth stopped short. “Ah, I remember. I saw a machine yesterday night.”

This boy does not have a category for robots in his brain

@whalekeeper

Ellis

Ellis hesitated for a moment, watching the bird, before jogging to catch up with Moth. When the two were walking side by side, he asked, “How can something that’s not living walk?”

@loopylin

Moth

Moth collected some of the cotton-like fluff from the reeds and made a palm-sized nest on the ground. He laid the bird there. Then he started walking, speeding up to a quick stride. “You coming, Stormwatcher?”

@whalekeeper

Ellis

Ellis swallowed his discomfort and looked in the direction the footsteps were heading. After the wet, marshy area, the ground sloped back up into a grassy field. Beyond that were trees, tall and shady. They seemed to mark the edge of the school grounds.

“The trail ends here, but we know which direction it was going.”

@whalekeeper

Is Lillian sweet and smokin’?

LOL hearing the slang in Lucy’s world from her is cute.

@rae Soldier’s old roommate was a world-destroying ancient being who is now supposedly a ghost that lives in a brick (that he brings everywhere and considers a part of the family) so I’m pretty sure he would be completely chill with his kids bringing another one home lol

@theshadow we’re all very uncooperative lol

@rae

Not to mention he’s been abused by the people of his own home that he’s more willing to trust a complete stranger not from the island than a villager from it.

Yeah that makes sense.

It’s a fun coi…[Read more]

@loopylin

I’m scared to ask because I don’t want you to be right

I won’t say anything, then.

Moth

Ellis voice had grown a touch uncomfortable. His eyes, which had glowed icy blue a minute ago, were scanning the reeds.
He could be right. This was just how nature worked. But the bird might have been killed unnaturally.
Moth went back to stu…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

(Perhaps that is a weird thing to congratulate someone for. No matter.)

It makes sense, I don’t mind it! Just don’t say that to someone who’s scared of aging XD.

Thank you!

So she might know places beyond the island? Gabriel would surely ask her about that, even if she doesn’t know about them.

Oh yes, she knows quite a bit about t…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I have a theory

I’m scared to ask because I don’t want you to be right

@whalekeeper

Ellis

“I’m sorry,” Ellis said softly. He lifted a hand as if to touch the bird, then let it fall back to his side. “Maybe it got stuck in the reeds.”

I’m not gonna make the youtube one because it’s too much work hahaha
