There! See?!? At least he gets this chance at a happy life. *Pouts with arms crossed*

@loopylin

Ah, me too. If anything RPs can at least give poor, mistreated characters a chance at a happy life.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Of course I have. I’m an engineer, top of my class. It was the most fun I’ve had in… Well, there’s not much like it. So much energy. Such precise, perfect lines.”

He grinned, picking up a bolt. It was a hex bolt, smooth and surprisingly new. Close to the size he used on the Mantis. He rolled it between his fingers.

“I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Aye, you got it. Nearly everything built out of wood uses nails or screws. Metal stuff like big buildings use heaver screws, welding, bolts, all sorts of things.” He leaned back on his heels eyes going distant. He rolled a bolt on the palm of his hand. “Back home we used a lot more Laser welding, but screws and bolts are…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Or…Leo didn’t have emotional breakdowns as much as serious temper problems and protective issues. Silvia had a lot more breakdowns because she couldn’t understand what was going on (she’s about 5 years younger than Leo).

Leo

“Sure.” He dropped to one knee by the bucket. “This,” he picked up a screw “is a screw. A Philips head…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I get it. XD

I wonder how Leo and Rory would have gotten along when Leo was a torn up 13 year old. Or even 16 year old at the beginning of his own book. It’s been great fun to write him as a fully developed character.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

He frowned. Something was…off. He sat back against the edge of the table, eyebrows quirking and lips pinched.

Rory was tense. Too tense. Kinda like a rubber band pulled tight or a soldier at attention.

Oh. Leo could have smacked himself. Instead he sighed and let a small, serious smile slip into place.

“Rory, I’m not…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Same room we were in back before the gray and run for Quincy, technically yesterday.

Leo

He let the door fall closed behind them and headed for the box piled wall.

“Make yourself comfortable on the couch there I’ll find that bucket somewhere.” Where had he put it? A few minutes search in the tool boxes came up with nothing. He…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Oof!

Deflects it with the essay I’ll start today.

I have about 50 snowballs stashed away in here…

@ellette-giselle

Yep.

I’m so excited to see how this goes!

@loopylin

XD That’s pretty accurate. It would help maybe, if they were less helmet-like. Yet…

The Lone Ranger? Definitely the Mandalorian. Phantom of the Opera? Absolutely. We Keepers don’t discriminate.

XD *sage nod*

Although, a writer friend of mine that’s not on here gets so confused when I compare my Viktor to both Aragorn and Janner. XD…[Read more]

@koshka

Leo would make a great Sunday School teacher.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Aye. We’re headed down. or rather…” The elevator came to a clicking stop. The door swish clicked open. “Looks like we’re down already. Come on.”

He stepped out into the dimly lit basement. Machines whirred and whined, muffling the ring of their boots against the concrete as he led the way around and through. Oil and cold…[Read more]

@loopylin

Oh gracious. Yes. XD

In Leo’s defense, if was a comparison someone else made, and mostly depended on the “galavanting around administering interplanetary justice”, although Leo is more trying to outrun said justice too so…

@ellette-giselle

Leo

Level 0. This place had a funny floor plan. He punched the button and leaned back against the wall as the elevator began its decent.

Rory was giving him a weird, confused look. What had he said? Done? Leo lifted an eyebrow. “Yes? What is it?”

@loopylin

Oops. Poor Eddie. At least this kid does actually like to dance.

@loopylin @raxforge

Sprite kid don’t get it. XD

Sypher

He followed the lasses in, settling into the seat be across from them.

“Eddie. Ellie. Ah.” He blinked at her in concentration. Grinned. “I am named Sypher, but everyone who doesn’t call me that, calls me Syph. As for dancing, or rather…I don’t believe I understand. What days are open”

@ellette-giselle

Leo

He grinned. “First off you’re going to sit on that couch in the basement break room and sort a bucket of bolts and screws that I accidentally dumped together last week. Or maybe that was two weeks ago.” He paused to blink up at the ceiling for a moment, then refocused on Rory. “Anyway, you’ll do that while I check the work…[Read more]

@loopylin

Yeah, I don’t usually respond on here either, but I still try to bring the posts I see to God.

And, oof. Getting a job can be rough. I’ll be praying.

@ellette-giselle

The pocket thing. XD

Leo

The lorry rolled to a squealing stop. It’s doors swooshed open. Time to move.

Leo braced against the back of the seat in front of him as he helped Rory to his feet. Then they shuffled down the aisle with Silvia and Quincy close behind. The steps squeaked under their feet.

Students filled the sidewalk…[Read more]
