Cloaked Mystery

@rae

It hasn’t happened yet.

Ellis

Seeing that Ottoline had already readied a target to practice with her bow, Ellis decided to have everyone work on that first. “Do you know how to use a bow, Snake?” he asked, as he selected one for himself and another for the hybrid. Kaine had already begun practicing with his.

Krenna

“How could I not be intimidating you?” whined Fracture, “Do you not tremble at my voice? Do my words not strike fear into your very bones?”

Krenna stared at him silently. “No,” she said finally, and turned around again.

@rae

Who do think would win a duel to the death, Zahlin or Nahim?

I have no idea either. I don’t know how good Zahlin is–we haven’t seen him fighting too much. But in both cases, he was basically only forced to surrender by someone else while he had one attacker pinned. Nahim obviously has better equipment and is really skilled. Zahlin definitely…[Read more]

@rae

Do you want me to get Fennin to come in and stop them when they are about to kill each other?

You could also let Hugo or Hedieh intervene if there’s a weapon left lying around for them. Otherwise, yeah, I would think Fennin is somewhere nearby. He knows perfectly well that these two don’t get along, so he probably isn’t going to just let them…[Read more]

I have to go too!

Here’s the start of the other two character groups:

Ellis

Before long, Ellis found himself in a courtyard with Ottoline, Kaine, and Snake, before a group of waiting Lillenings.

“So they want us to teach these people how to fight?” Ellis whispered to the others, scratching his head, “I mean, I know how to use a sword and a b…[Read more]

@rae @highscribeofaetherium

You’re such monsters lol! Jk

@rae

Btw, @highscribe mentioned that spears don’t count for Zahlin.

@rae

Hmm… he has some issues there. I don’t know why Zahlin would just randomly say something like that though.

@thearcaneaxiom

I regard it as a complete concept, because it has a rounded and closed off structure, so adding anything else would be jarring, and I simply had a goal of explaining the concept well, and maintaining intrigue, so I put it up as a short story because it has a narrative structure that presents my concept, although said narrative…

I have an RP written for Ellis and the training team, but I’ll wait till the end of the night before posting it, since none of the other people involved seem to be on.

I can also write one for Kate as the scouting team starts working.

@highscribeofaetherium

Probably Zahlin saying something mean, or refusing to touch sharpened objects.

@rae @highscribeofaetherium

Things should get more interesting once they have to deal with weapons that are sharp…

@rae

Okay, so we’re going with: Magic is translating their words so that they understand each other, but that they still write in their own language? I think I like that best.

@rae

Did I just spell ‘said’ backwards?????

Lol, I was wondering what that word was. (I guess ‘dais’ is a word.) You didn’t spell it backwards. You switched s and d.

@rae

Are we also saying they would all be able to write in English? Canonically, Ellis and Kate would not speak English, but I’m okay with doing that through magic shenanigans. On the other hand, it might be interesting if they write in their own language.

@highscribeofaetherium

Magic can probably translate into one language. Reading… I don’t think that will work 😅

That’s what I was thinking. Boy, Kate, Nora, Kari, and Amir are going to find that annoying, assuming they’ll have to write things down.

@rae

Wait…how do the characters understand what each other say, let alone read? Wouldn’t they all speak different languages???

@rae @highscribeofaetherium

Lol, yeah it’s impressive they’ve lasted this long! Hold on for me to write an RP…

Yeah, Nahim could have just told Zahlin to put it all in.

@rae

How come it seems like I’m the only one who doesn’t have any family who writes????

You’re not. @savannah_grace2009 for example.
