Marcel

“When I first got here, I made friends with a younger kid, the headmaster’s son. He was getting beat up by his own brothers.” Marcel’s mouth tightened at the memory. “We tried to report it but… nothing happened. I haven’t seen him in a while. Things happen in the open and the teachers do nothing about it. Punching matches in th…[Read more]

@koshka

However, he is influencing my sister.

Hehehehehhe

He is sixteen years old and already contemplating disowning his family.

We love a snarky, rebellious teenager. The energy Ari gives off is palpable, and you haven’t even written him yet.

@loopylin

It would be funny if all the characters were mostly clueless about other countries and had n…

Huntress

Mell giggled at Soldier as he tried to avoid Runt.

She then turned to me. “What, um… Who are you guys?”

I wasn’t exactly sure how to tell her what we were without freaking her out. “We’re, from, uh…a a galaxy really far from here.” I finally explained, trying to make it decently easy to understand. “We w…[Read more]

@loopylin @elishavet-pidyon

Thx! I cackled more than normal. This is why they say writers fall in love with their side characters more than their main characters. 🤣

He’s like a golden retriever trying to befriend a terrified opossum hehe

Funnily enough, if Remi was an animal, I picture something like an opossum. Just in appearances. P…[Read more]

@loopylin @mineralizedwritings @elishavet-pidyon @ellette-giselle

After much deliberation, for no serious reason, I feel it makes more sense for all of these characters to come from the same huge world. A world with a huge map, isolated countries, and separate magic systems/cultures. While portal fantasy is easier, I think this way gives us more…[Read more]

@loopylin

oh sorry! I didn’t realize it came across that way. I guess you don’t know me in person so that would be the likely conclusion to draw! haha!

@loopylin

What does my ethnicity have to do with how well I can do the job?

honestly though

@ellette-giselle nah I figured you were just messing around with someone lol

@whalekeeper

@loopylin

@keliah-h

btw, a will mention, on that whole paperwork thing, the person I said it to knows me very well and she got the joke. We were both talking about how some of the questions didn’t even seem relevant and I said I was gonna start making stuff up and we were both joking around.

The other thing is, in person I am…[Read more]

@loopylin

oh yes. He should have gotten himself killed years ago. The only reason he hasn’t is because of his brother.

@loopylin

Huntress

“I’m not scared.” Mel tried her best to look tough. She reminded me a tiny bit of me at that age.

She fed the giant bird a pastry she had in her pocket. “This is Runt. He’s not scared either.”

He cawed softly and pecked at the pastry.

Kind of impressive that a girl that young was able to tame a bird that large. A little odd…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon @ellette-giselle

I’ll write a Remington POV in a little bit. When he goes into his room, that’ll be your sign that it’s curfew.

@mineralizedwritings @loopylin

When that happens, we can just assume our group went to bed. Unless either of you want to state otherwise.

@loopylin

Marcel

“There was at least one death,” Marcel mused. “I was there for that one. I hung the other two guys on the roof spires.”

Wren looked a little shaken.
“I’m sorry, that didn’t make any… You know what?” Marcel looked up from where he leaned against the bleachers. He shut his mouth, then opened it. “You should know this place is…[Read more]

@loopylin

wait? Some of my guys really did die? Ohhh… I did not remember that.

what happened to the bodies?

@loopylin   @whalekeeper  @elishavet-pidyon

as mentioned before, I saw this as a sort of wood-between-the-worlds place, because everyone is coming from government/nobility, we sort of all have to have our own realms.

Unless everyone is in the same gigantic world and this is some school in this one country where all the noblemen are sent be…[Read more]

@loopylin

Marcel

Marcel read the card, then looked back up at the young woman. “Wren Tallow. You’re asking me about the deaths, aren’t you?”

@loopylin @whalekeeper

I was kinda envisioning it with the old use of the term “world.” So the countries may be on the same planet, but some are so far away that they’re considered different “worlds” culturally, and might not have much communication with the other worlds. I also like the idea that some aren’t accessible without magic, like fairylands.

@loopylin

Why is it always portal fantasy

I think because it accommodates everyone. It’s the only way for all the characters to make sense and not constantly contradict each other.

I’m not trying to dictate how this works, so if we want it to be different, we can try to be more cohesive. Depends on what people want to do.

I like your conquering…

@loopylin

See, that’s what I thought at first. But then I started picturing it this way, because some of the characters know nothing about any other country. And that doesn’t make sense unless they’re all isolationist.

I’m confusing myself at this point

@elishavet-pidyon

There was a quiet respect in his voice that he didn’t try to hide. Marcel deserved it.

Aww. Reúven seems like such a thoughtful guy.

Marcel
Marcel had stopped playing to stand in the bleachers. His arm was scraped, and he was a little out of breath after playing for so long. No matter how good he felt after ex…[Read more]

@loopylin

Lol. He’s not exactly nefarious, and he’s good at coming up with excuses. I could have made him more suspicious, but I didn’t realize how hard it would be lol. This was a lot of fun anyway. Wren is a great character!
