It had been less than an hour. After a few moments, she stirred. “I saw a bit.”

She got up and, without waiting for him to ask for more, went to the same wall from before. She climbed it again, much slower. The wind blew into her face as her head rose over the top, stinging her eyes and fluffing her short, downy hair.

This time…[Read more]

I’m sorry, that’s so rough. I’m glad you have your family through this and your mom is able to get care even though it’s in a hospital.

Maybe try reading the Psalms? I’ve been enjoying them recently.

We love you too!

@savannah_grace2009

3 months isn’t too much compared with the breaks some people take. (Not that it’s wrong for them to be away so long; life is life.) We all have important things irl!

I believe you put new chapters in your project for some of that time, so you were still contributing in spirit. XD

Waking up and coming back to this, I think she’s never left home before so she’s a tad shell shocked

“I kinda want to scream when I think about all that.” Lucy took a breath of the jacket, which still smelled good, although she didn’t know why. “I’ve got to… wait it out.”

It seemed like a good time to rest anyway. She didn’t need to sleep, but it couldn’t hurt to lay still.

@rae

Lucille

She thought for a while. “Um… It’s a big old building and courtyard by the depot. It’s got, er, lots of people. We’re the first stop along the grain route.”

When the young man looked at her, Lucy suddenly didn’t feel like talking about it. She took the jacket and lay over it on the stone, hiding her face.

“Here. I lied.”

Pfff

@rae

Sorry, I had to do a bit of cleaning in the kitchen

Fun fact, I have a birthmark on my right hand that usually gets dark when my hands are cold or I’m irritated.

That’s cool. Do you think it does that because your circulation changes?

Lucille

She nodded and took the last fruit. The smells were unfamiliar, and they set her on edge, but l…[Read more]

“That’s stupid. Birthmarks come from blood vessels or skin pigment. Even I know that, and I’m ten.”

@rae

Lucille

Lucy frowned at being called illogical but didn’t say anything. “Why would I throw stones at you because of birthmarks?”

@rae

Got it

Lucille

Lucy traced over them. They felt rougher than they looked, somewhat like her father’s. She bent his hands into fists and out again, folded them together, and briefly pretended his fingers were keys and she was playing the piano.

It was the kind of game that made no sense but relaxed her. She did it for a little while until…[Read more]

“My parents.” Lucy glanced at different sights in front of them, not letting her eyes stay in one place for long. For a long time, her eyelids flickered and she said nothing. She didn’t look at the Protector but she reached out again. “May I look at your hands?”

@rae

We’re magically cooperating here, passing the baton back and forth

Except when I’m stuck for no reason and leave you hanging for twelve hours. XD

That’s rping for ya

@rae

He rarely spills out his thoughts though, so this is nice.

Yeah I think it’s nice. As someone with confusing thoughts, I think his thoughts make sense. It’s characterization too.

Lucille

“I-I’m bothered. I don’t like screaming and crying in front of people, s’all. I’m ugly when I cry.” Lucy stopped smiling and swung back to the top of the…[Read more]

Lucy looked from the Protector to the fruit and back again. She shrugged and slowly smiled, the first time that day.

@loopylin

Ty <3 I try not to say it but I love her character very much

@rae

You’re good!

Lucille

“Right ‘ere!” Lucy dangled upside down from a wall. She shut the photo album and, after realizing it wouldn’t stay in her pocket, dropped it on the ground below. “How’d your sleep-in shift fare you?”

*Long rp jumpscare*

Ruth, is cranberry sauce your favorite Thanksgiving food or is it simply the first moniker you came up with?

@rae

Lucille

It was easier to reach the trees from the wall. Lucy hiked up her trousers and placed a foot on a protruding root. She swiftly climbed up the wall and crouched on the top. The mist fell away, although the sky remained a bright, sharp gray. The sun, a blurred disk, lay on the horizon. Walls and rolls of twisted plant life sprawled…[Read more]

@rae

He wasn’t sure what it was, but it compelled him to keep her safe, not from duty, but for the sake of doing so

Aw. Dude, you’re very kind but you need a long nap.

Whatever you want to do from here is fine with me. We probably should have Lucy do some stuff from here, then skip to whenever Gabriel wakes up, however long or short that is. Idk…
