Okay. Maybe the gymnasium is a separate building in the center of the back gardens, then. We could integrate the gardens so they sort of surround the gymnasium (hedge bushes and paths and the like), and the tiltyard is walled off so the gym isn’t spilling into the tended grounds. Plus the stables are there… somewhere…

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]

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 :]

@elishavet-pidyon so is it an outdoor gymnasium?

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

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]

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.

@whalekeeper

I am so unoriginal. I didn’t even notice until now

haha!

@elishavet-pidyon

and now I will eat. I just had to finish a chapter.

@elishavet-pidyon

who controls prof? isn’t it @whalekeeper ?

I just realize Callum is basically Nicholas Benedict. I am so unoriginal. I didn’t even notice until now

@koshka

Callum

The other scullery children went quiet. Perhaps they were all tired of conversation and just wanted to finish working.

Callum shrugged inwardly. It wasn’t as if he knew any of them. He doused a pile of plates with soap, a melody playing in his head to pass the time.

A voice spoke behind Callum, without any warning. It was Chef L…[Read more]

Oh my word!

I think I stopped dreaming when I really started seriously writing. I used to have a lot of vivid ones, and then they went away when I started writing my stories and books down.

He reached across the table and grabbed two more scones, pushing them into his pocket for later, then followed Wilhelm. “Biting is still cowardly,” he muttered.
