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]

George

“Sort of have. What, should I be afraid of you?” George pushed her hat brim up so she could size Lucian up. Her eyes narrowed into dark slits.

And I just asked Ellis a question. XD

He can answer or not or just shrug.

George

“It’s for Onyx’s face. Be gentle,” she commanded.

George

“George.”

Lucian seemed like a quiet sort of person. Not loud or obnoxious. George could tolerate some people, like him, as long as they didn’t get in the way or catch her in a bad mood.

She might have to learn to tolerate everyone here, though. Not just from a distance. That wasn’t a fun thought.

She got up from brushing the…[Read more]

George

“She’s a Maine Coon.”

The cat began to close her eyes, but one of the horses let out a loud whinny, and the cat took offense. She flicked an ear grumpily, got up, and padded back to the boy and girl. She tensed her back haunches and leaped onto George’s back.

Luckily the stablehand had strong shoulders, wide enough to s…[Read more]

George

“No. But I’m on duty today and I told the others I didn’t want them around.” George motioned vaguely towards the boy’s feet. “My cat doesn’t like everyone. You must be nice or interesting.”

Wishing you luck on your academic endeavors 👍

Thank you!

Moth

They entered the archery range and Moth recognized most of what he saw – or, at the very least, could guess what things were for.

The range stretched on and gave room for plenty of boys to practice shooting all at once. Arrows were already flying. A satisfying thwacking sound went off at regular intervals; the arrows…[Read more]

Tagging some old people: (no offense lol) @elishavet-pidyon @koshka @loopylin @whaleke…[Read more]

George

George opened the stall door. She gave the mare a strong series of pats, then brushed a hand along the mare’s side, making sure the animal knew where the human was at all times. Spooking a new horse was a surefire way to get kicked.

Onyx’s coat already shone, catching the same glow that lit the stall’s wood grain walls. Georg…[Read more]

I love this. I shall attempt either tonight or tomorrow.

I have that image saved already on Pinterest! I should work on this tonight.

Nice pfp. My sister says I sound like a dying seagull when I laugh.

I scrolled and your pfp was staring at me and it caught me off guard *cries* XDXD

Um… because you have multiple personalities. I guess.

George

George tipped her hat to the horses as she strode through the barn. She made a gentle clucking sound and announced, “Ladies and gentlemen… I am here to serve.”

A stallion let out a high-pitched whinny. He seemed to be walking in place with nowhere to go. He backed up, then pressed himself forwards, causing the door to grate…[Read more]

Ooooo a pretty horsey. <3

Bryce

Bryce nodded, before going and inspecting other books. He pulled another from the shelf and skimmed through the pages. It definitely was not fiction, but held a bunch of random stuff about the government of a foreign country. Bryce could only think about how his friend Lisse would hate this book, and s…[Read more]

I pronounced that Moth-er and that is somehow quite fitting.

Ari

The tension in his shoulders eased slightly. He nodded and pushed away from the table.

“Come on then.”

Students still meandered around the courtyard. Clumps of them stood followed various instructors like swarms of bees. Ari headed straight for the…[Read more]

Will listen to all of these in time then!

I guess this character is nicknamed Mother now. XD I think he manages to be a bit of a mom friend, little kid, and prince all in one.

Moth

“You’re going to teach me,” Moth insisted.

I tried typing Moth and it autocorrected to Mother and I almost started laughing very loudly to myself in public

*Snort laughs in a very public but very empty hallway*

Ari

He slowly nodded. Linguistics wasn’t for another three hours–not till after lunch, and of course Choir this evening. The school had tried to saddle him…[Read more]

I like Lucian.

Thank you! I will keep you posted!

What are you writing these days?

Glad to hear the website has been behaving.

Ydubs, as everyone on there calls it, has been fine. Busier for sure, it’s a bit harder to meet people on there, but a couple of people welcomed me in and helped me get started. It has been fun. I think I will continue my…[Read more]

Hey, you’re not supposed to question things. It’s because, uh… it’s just anime logic, okay? XD

That senses. XD

Bryce

Bryce blinked stupidly, then bit his lip. “Uh, I dunno. I don’t get time to read much fiction,” he said. Really, H.O.M.E had never really allowed him to read fiction. He had only ever gazed upon facts and instruc…[Read more]

I laughed rather loudly in public for you. 😁

Moth

“There was still a chance you could have won two out of three.”

I honestly don’t know who would

Ari

He looked back at moth, curious, but let that remark pass. Could whistling be heard in the void?

“What were you two up to before you decided to come and ruin my swords practice?” Not that he liked swords. The interruption was almost welcome…but he’d definitely not say that outloud.

Moth

“You were the one who brought this up. Do not whistle past a graveyard, my friend.”

Thank you Whaley, I am now concerned for Ellis and Lucien.

Ari

“I don’t know. What makes you think they would?” Frustration boiled up, clenching his nails into his skin as Moth continued to stare at him. “They’re my half-brothers. Some fighting is normal, but inheritence isn’t determined by a few scuffles. Maybe they…[Read more]

“Are you in competition for your kingdom’s throne?”

The fact that Ellis says this does not fly past me

Moth

“Why would they hurt you?” Moth asked. He kept his eyes trained on Ari’s, refusing to miss any hints of emotion on the boy’s face.

Bryce

Bryce’s eyebrows raised and he stared at Jack. Obviously this kid could see, but how could he be observant with his hair over his eyes? He let out a short laugh. “I have everything in my pocket,” Bryce told him casually. “I have snacks, random items, and bear spray, for some reason. And some pencils, probably.”

Ari

In competition? That seemed to light a word.

“Me? No.” He looked down as he pulled off the padded sparring gloves. “My father has four sons older than my brother and me. And besides, what with his brothers gone, there’s plenty of land and titles to go round.”

Don’t be an idiot. He slapped the gloves against the…[Read more]

*flashbacks to growing up with a diabetic brother* You put those batteries back right now, child.

(is it his pump or his cgm?)

Hehe. My little brother is also a diabetic.

(It’s his pump beeping.)

Ari

His attention snapped back to Moth.

“Just…wondering. Family traits tend to run strong with us.” Black hair, dark eyes, murder. Yes, family traits.

Moth

Ari barely sounded intimidated. The prospect of another adventure must appeal to him. But if Ellis was right – and he must be – it was not right for Ari to get in trouble alone. His mysterious visitor might be harmless, but they might as easily be evil.

“Why do you wish to know if this intruder will look like you?” Mot…[Read more]

Moth

“You’ll teach me archery now?”

Ari

Moth would be keeping watch as well. But what exactly did a fairy mean by watching?

It didn’t make much of a difference. Ari pushed away from the table.

“If you like. I was going to head to the archery targets once I was done here…” His voice trailed off as his gaze turned to wards where Jasper was still gadding…[Read more]

I’ve been busy recently with my full-time job and other things. God has been good. I received an opportunity to illustrate a…[Read more]

Moth

Moth listened to their exchange quietly, not interjecting until the end. “I will also keep watch in your room tonight then, Ari.”

Ari

He nodded. He wasn’t sure what a mood was or why it would be damapened, but he had heard about visions. Just none within the last two centuries.

Brother’s or no, tonight was going to be an… adventure. If this kid was telling the truth.

“Good, good.” His spreading smile kindled the light in his eyes. “Finally…[Read more]
