Arrived two days after we ordered it. Hoping to read it sometime over the next week.

@whalekeeper

I feel bad for villainizing Ellis a little bit

noo he did it to himself

@koshka

sorry if his behavior is super inconsistent im still figuring him out

Ellis

Ellis smothered his smile. He reactively shot a glare back at Ari, but quickly smothered that too. He would get back at him later. Carlusti? What did that mean? His knee began…[Read more]

@koshka

Thank the stars, but these desks were built for gnomes.

Hehehehehehe

@loopylin @koshka

Moth

For once, Moth did not hear the voices of those around him. Their words punctured his mind some of the way, and he vaguely registered their meaning. He might have pushed away his disappointment — disappointment, was it? — and enjoyed the lecture. The professor had said something to him and was now writing something els…[Read more]

Lois

“I believe those questions are better suited for a poet or a philosopher, not a scientist, my friend,” Lois murmured gently to Moth. He glanced up at Ellis. He wasn’t sure why, possibly for support. The prince was resting his head on one hand, seemingly trying to but failing to hide an amused smile. Lois felt that the…[Read more]

Moth

They all took seats at dark mahogany desks. Moth settled down, softly twiddling his fingers. Sitting down with a master of knowledge always opened his eyes to something new. He had never learned in a place like this before.

The professor — a late middle-aged gentleman — strode to the standing backboard. His sil…[Read more]

@koshka

Good, good. Trust your feelings.

hmmmmm

He sorta gives Sterling vibes from Ashtown Burials. Sorta. Lovable but definitely not trustworthy.

I love how several people in this rp are scheming different things with their characters. So many secrets >:]

@koshka

Gotcha! Noted.

LeQoi seems a little morally nebulous to me. Just a touch. Just a dollop.

Callum

Callum bobbed his head up and down a few times, hurriedly showing humility. “Thank you, Master Chef.”

He followed the maid, as he was told. She led him to a particular section of the kitchens, passing all manner of work stations. As Cal…[Read more]

@koshka

is this chef good or bad? Every time I start to like him, he gives me creeper feelings.

@koshka

Callum

Callum forced himself to meet the chef’s eyes, not moving an inch. He hid his trembling hands behind his back. “I apologize for the deception, Chef, sir. It was wrong of me to enter this space without asking. I just… I wanted to be here. Cooking has been my passion since I was little. When I was starving, a stranger gave me a cur…[Read more]

@koshka

Haven’t read much yet (although I’ve read most of it before). I will probably start using it as my winding down time reading.

@koshka

The kitchens are also presided over by a questionable master chef named LeQoi. Which reminds me he hasn’t said much is some time…

I do believe Callum is free from his duties. Perhaps we can assume he was sent to LeQoi?

*Screaming intensifies*

Who knows if we can handle that much crazy social energy at once? Plus Wolf?

@koshka @loopylin

I need a second to write this. Revisiting my chemistry knowledge.

@koshka

Would aesthetics mean what do my stories look like visually? I know for colors, they would be a mix of gentle green, deepest blue, and silvery-white. I really like your interests: history and cultural studies lend themselves well to writing, I find. I am an English Creative Writing Major, which is great because I have a strong incentive…[Read more]

@koshka @whalekeeper

Lois

Lois nodded to both of them. The way the blond boy looked at him as Moth introduced them made Lois feel he needed to straighten his posture.

“Good to meet you,” Ellis said as he and Moth claimed chairs next to him. Ari sat farther away, but still within earshot. “Have you attended this academy very long?” Ellis asked L…[Read more]

@loopylin @koshka

I volunteer if neither of you desire to.

@koshka @whalekeeper do either of you want to write for the teacher, or should I?

@koshka

Ah! Another poet, I see. I tend to write stuff with a strong pattern, even if that pattern isn’t always as clear as a rhyme scheme (although I do tend to use rhyme, meter, alliteration, all those good things). It mainly just depends on the texture of the poem I’m writing. And they do tend to have rather distinct textures (at least to me)…

@loopylin @koshka

Moth

“I did.” Moth introduced each person with a flick of the wrist. “Lois Thorne, this is Ellis Stormwatcher. And this is Ari… Ari something. Perhaps Ari nothing. It doesn’t matter what his last name is.”

@whalekeeper @koshka

Lois

“Yes, I did, thank you.” The slight bags under his eyes begged to differ. “We must have missed each other in the crowd.”

He was very happy to see Moth, though his face remained neutral as ever. His eyes flicked over the two boys next to his friend, the dark haired one especially. He seemed to be in a bit of a less st…[Read more]
