Yeah, more melodies on extra strings would just take more skill practice and concentration. That’s a great limit to the magic system because it would require study.

@hybridlore

Eh, it is a bit vague, but what I’ve sort have been imagining is that a Voice has to be a melody line of some sort to generate a String. The individual movement of the music is what allows the String to move, and the notes of a chord are kind of locked together in a way that doesn’t allow that. It makes sense in my head, but maybe i…[Read more]

Marcel —- Edge of Deepwild

Marcel didn’t think long about the questions the girl asked, since every one of them confused and irked him. He still felt half asleep, wisps of color blowing out from behind him and waving at the night sky. He met all of their eyes and backed up, so the four people stood in a circle. “Li…[Read more]

I don’t know much about harps, although from what I understand, they seem like the closest thing to a piano in the string family, so, yeah, they should be pretty good. Guitars are good at chords, which since they consist of multiple notes should technically mean that it manifests multiple Strings, but I may want to treat chords a bit…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Thanks!

Yeah, I don’t know violin very well, but I have heard that. (I’ve also heard it can do three but that it would be even harder.) However, Ilahna actually hasn’t used her violin yet. As a quirk of the magic system, she literally has more than one voice, so she’s actually singing four parts at once. The exact number of Voi…[Read more]

Ellis —— (Edge of Deepwild)

They’re hopefully not robbers? Soulmight repeated. Wouldn’t she know?

Ellis, as usual ignored the sword. “Good,” Ellis said, waiting for the owners of the voices to appear. “So, am I.”

Felicity — (Edge of the Deepwild) 

The fog finally cleared from Felicity’s mind and she spun around, trying to look for a clue to explain where she was.

“Yeah… really far.”

“Who’s there?” A voice called from the nearby trees.

“Friends!” she responded, before glancing suspiciously at her two companions.…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Alright, I will.

@keilah-h @hybridlore

Shorter section, but I want to make sure Joseph is making sense and his character is developing well before I post more.

A week passed.

For Joseph, it was a time of raw pain. He had always been shy and quiet, but now he seemed even more so. He seemed older than his years, and…

@hybridlore

AW! Thank you so much!!!!

I’ll make sure to tag you as I add more!

Would you like a brief summery of the last book, or do you just want to figure things out from here?

Ellis — (Edge of the Deepwild)

Ellis was forced activate his sword in order to get through a particularly thick clump of brambles. Soulmight sliced through the bushes with satisfying efficiency, leaving the ends of the branches sizzling quietly. After a minute or so, he suddenly stumbled out of the trees.

He…[Read more]

Marcel —- Heading for Elderstrand w/ Sara and Fel

Marcel had very little idea of what snow was. He studied the new girl doubtfully. Her white braid looked like the fur of a buffalo, gleaming starkly against the striped black wood of the forest. Marcel put his hands in his pockets and spoke for either of the girls to a…[Read more]

@hybridlore oh whoops sorry I missed your most recent rp

Ok extra character description just because- Fel is currently wearing a white shirt, brown pants, and a vest, but not the fancy kind of vest idk how to describe it. And her hair is in two braids and she’s wearing a brown leather cap. And boots.

Marcel —- Heading for Elderstrand with Sara

“Twenty… twenty thousand…” Marcel’s face remained mostly expressionless, but his fingernails pressed into his fists. He felt strangely tingly throughout his body.

After a long period of silence, during which they walked, he looked at her again. “I’m just passing through. There must be a…[Read more]

@loopylin

You can meet up with meeeeee and with @hybridlore , we are by the forest and our characters are very confused

@hybridlore I hope you see this, everything is moving so fast

Marcel —- Edge of Deepwild

Marcel caught up with the figure on the road. She was a girl, perhaps a young adult, and both their faces lit up in the moonlight as they saw each other.

“H-Hey, you must be a pilgrim…” Marcel said. “I’m sorry for bothering you, but do you know what year i…[Read more]

@hybridlore I’ll meet up with you! Just give me a sec

@hybridlore

Yaayy, if you want, you could meet Marcel out by the edge of the woods! He’s just standing there. Alone. And wondering about what’s going on.

@hybridlore

Ooo I like it so much better! This super, super good.

And I can see a lot of symbolism in the character names I choose, that others can’t see. The name Barnes is red; it’s a very vigilante color, which fits how the character wears a mask everywhere. But her first name (I don’t want to use it just yet) is the color of her hair and face, so when she uses her first name, it’s like taking off her mask.…[Read more]
