Kinda. XD Except I’m not a dolphin.

@loopylin

Picture this. You are in a quiet yet semi public place. (Think school student center during class time or a local library) Obviously, crashing out completely is not a good idea because even if you trust the people in the area you probably have to be somewhere soon. But you are so tired.…[Read more]

When you can, where do you go outside of the castle?

Do you like being around people or do you like to be alone most of the time?

What do you like to think about when no one else is around?

What are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?

What do you have in your pockets right now? Do you have a habit of carrying anything with you…[Read more]

What is… your favorite color?

The corner of Merlin’s mouth quirks. “Blue.”

Do you or have you ever had any pets?

“My family has owned lab rats, fish, sea monkeys, cats, new mother dogs in foster, insects, worms, isopods, all sorts of microorganisms. I’ve always wanted a bird because I’m going to work with them someday, but I guess y…[Read more]

Oh. Why would you like to go to the fairie realm?

How has your kingdom made alliances with the fairies before? Do you know the details of how that happened?

What is your family like?

What does a normal day in your life look like?

Do you like your royal responsibilities?

Ah. Do you normally have manservants and guardians following you around? That must feel stifling.

Why do you enjoy hunting and fencing?

Your mother sounds kind. Did you have nightmares because of your special gift? Or were your nightmares related to something else?

What is something you have always wanted to do – a dream or a goal -…[Read more]

“Alright, then. Wheedle what you can out of me.” Merlin takes the pretzel sticks and puts one halfway into his mouth like a cigar.

Merlin watches you for a little longer, his eye glittering, before he strides over to the kitchen counter and sits down across from you. His voice is quieter and much less emotional than his brother’s. “I’m not sure what all this is about, really.”

*climbs in through the window* *sets up a chair in front of the previous interviewer, facing Cosmo*

Cosmo, putting away his pie tin and oven mitts, pauses mid-movement. He watches you curiously.

Okay, my turn. *pulls out notepad and pen* I am here to interview your brother.

“Oh. Okay.” He takes off his mitts and waves them at you as he…[Read more]

Why did I read Ellis’ voice in a British accent when you’re the one who is supposed to hear British accents from my characters

Who I am doesn’t really matter. I’m just here to interview you. I promise, anything you say will be kept secret.

How would you describe yourself in three words?

Who is your best friend?

What do you think i…[Read more]

You’re Ellis Stormwatcher, aren’t you? We were both sent here so I can ask you a few questions. I hope you don’t mind if I do that.

I’m tagging a bunch of you. Firstly, I doubt you will be offended, and secondly, I have free will. (You may ignore, of course.)

A lot of you write or read about fantastical…[Read more]

Moth

“Please, listen to me,” Moth whispered to the third arrow as he pulled it back.

He supposed he must stop imagining anything sometimes. Why did every single object and living thing siphon off Moth’s mind? It was deeply bothersome.

He had to resist getting worked up and listen to Ari’s advice. He took a deep breath a…[Read more]

I got some guinea pigs yesterday. :] Does anyone have any name suggestions? They’re both boys.

Ah, okay. That makes sense…

Bryce 

A dry laugh escaped Bryce before he could stop it. “I got a lot of things to figure out, and most of it is really boring.” 

His eyes surveyed the plethora of books around them. He had so many resources to search through, about so much stuff he did not care about.

And if he we…[Read more]

Unfortunately no, I don’t have more. I want a window box, but I don’t know how that would actually fit in my window since I live in a college dorm.

Tavar

He shrugged, a frown creasing his forehead.

“To be honest, I do not know. If I had not just been reading about the value of food to one’s inward strength, I may have…[Read more]

Unfortunately, the pot I ordered initially was too damaged to use so I have to get another.

That is unfortunate 😵‍💫 Do you have any other plants? If I may ask lol. I grew zinnias this summer, and tomato vines. I successfully killed a succulent  😶‍🌫️I’m not great with indoor plants, apparently. 

Tavar will naturally n…

[Read more]

Is anyone…[Read more]

😂

AHH. I love miniature roses. They are everywhere where I live.

That kinda reminds me of how I obtained a new hyperfixiaton with fencing, and now one of my MC’s is in danger of getting a new hobby hehe.

Bryce 

“No, thanks.” Bryce crumpled the wrapped in his fist. He sat back comfortably in the chair, focus…[Read more]

I have ordered a new pit for the miniature rose my dad gave me. Now I’m researching what kind of soil I should get. Nothing is safe. Every character of mine is in danger of obtaining a plant baby. 😂

*clears throat*

Tavar

He settled back into his chair. It was across from the hungry boy, in view of potential librarians.…[Read more]

I’m kinda distracted writing this so I’m hoping there’s nothing weird XD

Bryce

Bryce stared at the boy’s hand a moment, hardly catching on. He shook his hand, nodding. “Yeah, I got another one,” he shrugged. Bryce then shoved his shaking hand in his pocket. Was it that obvious? And how did this prince know?

“Well,…[Read more]

Tavar

“You are welcome. Do you have another…” His brows scrunched together as he searched for the word. “Shnack? There’s a seat in this window that’s quite hidden from the librarians.”

He held out a hand in welcome, ready to catch the boy if he stumbled.

Ari

He forced himself to refocus on Moth. He doesn’t want to hurt the target. That might be part of the problem.

“I wouldn’t like to meet a living hay bale. What if you imagine the arrow is a message to the center of the target, and you need to sent it there.”

Moth

“Violence?” Moth tilted his head. He stared at the target and squinted. “But I don’t want to hurt the hay bale. It has done nothing but grow in a field.”

He found himself scowling at the third arrow in his hand, as if it was at fault. “Everything is so eager to… It doesn’t matter. Are you saying I should imagine the bal…[Read more]

Ellis….XD

Ari

“Yes.” Ari’s eyes brightened at Ellis’s suggestion. He nodded slowly. “More violent than flowers, certainly. I wonder…violence…would likely not be as pleasant for the arrows. Or whatever they hit.”

That is a neat ability!

@loopylin

Hehe XD

Bryce

Bryce stared after the librarian, blinking stupidly. His eyes shifted back to boy, who had practically saved him from the loud, distractable woman. “Thanks,” he said with a quick nod. The fast gesture brought regret when a dizzy shadow played in his peripheral view. As much as…[Read more]

Moth

Moth blinked and shook his head to clear it. “I didn’t intend for that to happen, no.”

Maybe it was a one-time accident. He motioned for Ari to walk out of the shooting range, and after making sure it was safe, he strung another arrow and shot again.

This time, it transformed into a yellow poppy, and twirled in the air b…[Read more]

I’ve been a bit swamped as well, so your timing is great. XD

Ari

That was… unexpected. He lowered his bow.

“Did you intend for that to happen?”

The thing–flower?–was pretty. Ari walked over to it, heedless of other arrows as he was most safety precautions. He crouched beside the thing but didn’t pick it up. Even in…[Read more]

Sorry for the late reply; I’ve been a little mentally swamped.

Moth

Moth took a look at Ari’s hand. He put the ring on and dropped an arrow onto the bow. He studied Ari’s hand position, looking back and forth between their bows, and did his best to mimic the expert. It was probably best to be sure of what to do before he pulle…[Read more]

Noted. It’s canon now.

I like her despite herself. XD Two librarians are better than one. Besides, it’s a huge library. One would be overworked.

Oi dearie me. This is a lovely kerfuffle.

This RP has got me thinking… I’m playing with the idea that Tavar can smell diabetes, maybe even cancer and malaria, since his folk are supposed to have GREAT senses. It’s an avenue of sensory finesse that I haven’t heard included in a character… And I just like the idea of him…[Read more]

Bryce 

Bryce jumped back, getting a better grip on the books before they could clatter to the floor. Still, words took time to register. Bryce blinked. The librarian reminded him of an infuriated squirrel.

Five seconds later, he noticed that she had his Rice Krispy. “Sorry…” he said, his voice blank. The only th…[Read more]

Bryce

Bryce nodded his head, failing to conceal the smallest frown that came over his face. “Alright, thanks.”

He turned away, leaving to retrieve his stack of books. On his way, he attempted to relist the instructions under his breath. Every thought turned into a puzzle. “Write my name… The return date… Wait,…[Read more]

Should I make a librarian character?

I also believe that would be a good idea XD

This was lovely to come into. Let’s see…

Tavar

…In such cases, the emotional loss is heightened by the lack of physical strength usually found in food. Comfort the patient…

The boys who had been wandering around the library were talking again. Tavar glanced up at them for a moment, just long enough to see what they…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh, wow, congratulations! I proud of you!

@loopylin

Hehehe hello there!

Bryce 

Bryce followed Jack’s gesture, spotting the fellow he was referring to. “Oh, yeah,” he murmured. “He does look like the type, I guess…”

As Bryce approached, he realized his heart had not stopped racing either. And it still took great effort to catch his breath, yet he wasn’t exactly one to be nervous. He…[Read more]

Bryce

Bryce nodded in acknowledgement as he turned on his heel to walk away. He located books that were far from the fictional genre, and Bryce began pulling them off the shelf and skimming. The words of every page he glanced upon sifted through his mind in mere seconds. It took far less than a minute before he decided a book wasn’t…[Read more]

 If you start feeling stuck,I can add on more and make Jack ask a more direct question if you want.

Oh no that’s alright! I think I got an idea of what Bryce can do. Unless you think Jack would say more 🙂

@elishavet-pidyon

I like Tavar too. Hehe.

@loopylin @beth-torres

Tavar

The thick leather of his book’s cover was creased with hundreds of years of eager hands cradling it just as Tavar did now. Where the ballads he had read yesterday had sported detailed illuminations in every possible margin, this tome left space for notes from the scribes who had copied it…[Read more]

Sorry for the ridiculously delayed response

Lucille

Lucy picked up the first book that interested her. It had a sketch of a man in a black mask. Batman. The name was strange and kind of silly, but she could ignore that.

In the first panel, he was a strong, dark figure, hunched over in a panel drenched with inked rain.…[Read more]

Ah! That would be fun!

I’ll see about getting an intro RP in after work this evening. If y’all want, he will be quite free to be run into (thinking that might fit the circumstances better, but who knows lol.). He will probably be reading in a corner or window. Some little nook or cranny.

@loopylin

Oooh! My character and one of Loopy’s are the ones in the library rn. Maybe he could run into ours at some point if you wanted to have that happen XD. And if that sounds okay with @loopylin.

I’m also so late with replying, I’m sorry. My writing brain has been dead the past week or two.

Bryce

Bryce shook his head. “I don’t got any siblings, actually.”

He was inclined to ask whether having siblings was like having a related best friend, or if it was more similar to having a permanent A.V.I.Y.E, but Jack wouldn’t get the…[Read more]

Hey, shooting stuff is fun.

Just going to pull from my own very limited experience with archery. If someone else has expertise you might need to help. XD

Ari

He hadn’t meant for either of the boys to actually start shooting yet, but Ellis had certainly some idea of what to do, though he used a draw Ari had never tried.…[Read more]

Ari

He nodded and picked up the rod.

“Arm.” Ari quickly measured Ellis’s draw length and went back to the rack of bows. A slightly longer recurve would do.

“Here. This one’s about fifteen pounds too. I don’t want you two shooting me with a bow you can’t control. If you’re going to shoot someone it had better be on…[Read more]
