Leo could probably use help, especially since I’m not sure yet what he’s going to do…XD

@rae Sure! Although, if Ellette is concerned over Rory right now (he is kinda unstable at the moment [which is partially my faught, XD]) would you like to have him run into Silvia upstairs and end up in the same fight, just in another area? We could have them all actually meet afterward.

@ellette-giselle

That’s right, although Silvia wouldn’t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

He stared for a moment in horror at the still form beside him.

Bing!

The elevator door slid open. No time to lose. Leo shoved the trashcan through. Then, carefully, he hauled Rory up onto his shoulders and carried him out of the elevator.

The lighting was dim down here. Faint oiliness hung on the air along with the sharp…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I just love talking down to these guys.

Leo

Interrogation? Leo’s skin began to crawl. His eyes narrowed.

“So you do believe in souls? How interesting.” And he squeezed the boy’s cold wrists again, who in return tried to crush Leo against the wall. Leo rolled his eyes. This Agent wasn’t much of a concern at this point, bu…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Of course not! He’s just trying to keep him safe…but he’s Leo so that may not look like what you’d expect. XD I mean, the first time he showed up here he was patching a pipe with duct tape.

Leo

Leo didn’t like these kids. He stared back with bored annoyance, laying one gloved hand over the fist that gripped his shirt. His…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Sorry, this is hilarious.

Leo

Agents. Rory was shaking so hard the bucket he was sitting on clinked faintly. Footsteps sounded down the hall, coming closer. Closer.

Great blue stars. Leo clenched his teeth, casting a calculated glance around the closet. Mops, brooms, bottles of cleaner solution, an industrial trash can.

An…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

We’re allowed to, it’s just sort of the basis for why everyone’s here. Plus we’d still be pretty connected to the school.

Gotcha. Let’s go fluster some bad guys.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

Rory slammed into him. He gasped and stumbled backward, snagging a doorknob to keep from falling.

The door opened behind him and he went down, pulling Rory with him. An assortment of mops and and cleaning supplies caught his fall.

A janitor’s closet.

Quickly, Leo pushed the door shut with his boot. They sat in silence for…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

This’ll be fun.

I was thinking they’d get out, but not easily (so we can have more fun), but if you have another idea, please go ahead. Leo’s focus right now is getting Rory and himself out the mess they’re in. Where would they go? That depends on what you want to do. They could go to Leo’s apartment, or hanger, or somewhere…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Sorry it’s mostly Leo jabbering..

Leo

He stared at Rory for a moment, then slowly smiled. Didn’t Silvia always say God had a sense of humor?

“Yes Rory, you’ll be safe with me, Lord willing. I may need an assistant, who knows? However, our first priority is to get you out of this building undetected. We can figure out the…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yep reptiles. (My younger self meant gentiles.)

Is he allergic to corn or something? Our dog was lactose intolerant as a puppy, but he can handle smaller doses of dairy now.

Oh gracious. The baton one is probably my favorite. XD

@ellette-giselle

I’m glad you enjoy it! We are writing it as an exercise, but we’re posting it for y’all’s enjoyment and to give us accountability so we actually finish it.

@hybridlore

Thanks! It’s been fun to play with.

Ah yes, I love that chapter mostly for it’s snark. XD

@ellette-giselle

Awww, they’re so sweet.

He’s pretty much perfect.

I suppose I always saw her with longer hair, but she’s adorable. XD

@koshka @ellette-giselle

Welp, here’s this week’s installment. Enjoy!

In Which Books Lie, and the Sun Sets

Chapter 3

My legs were killing me. We had been walking for hours with hardly any real breaks, and I’d quickly discovered that even dwarves move at an incredible pace. The books lied. Muscles don’t miraculously strengthen when you get c…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

He’d been right.

“Rory, sit down please.” His voice was low, calm. “There are no cameras in this hall, or mics in this room. I’ve checked before for Quincy. So unless you’re bugged yourself, we’re still good. Which, if you are bugged, don’t worry. I’ve worked pest control before. There’s only One all-seeing, and He happens…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

instinct forcing him to brace for the moment this all shattered and Leo turned on him.

GAAAHHH…

Have you heard the song Soul worth Saving by Apollo LTD?

Leo

“No problem kid.” His voice was husky around the lump in his throat. He gave Rory’s shoulder a light squeeze. “Really, no problem.”

The boy tensed, then relaxed, t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Those are hilarious! XD Except the last one. That one’s good.

@theducktator

Ah, tragic! *sniff* Otterpops were a precious part of my childhood.

Further, I thought “Alexander the Grape” the height of wit when I was little. Your sister may have been onto something.

@keilah-h

They’re delicious on a hot day! 🙂

@ellette-giselle

*Considers adding Rory to the protection squad*

Leo

He sat calmly listening to Rory’s story as his brain malfunctioned.

Child’s army. Child’s army? He flinched, fists clenching at the thought. Great blue stars, if he ever met the people over such a barbaric practice-

He sucked in a breath. Time to be calm and focus on the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

You’re good. We have to move around other people’s characters a little bit from time to time. In fact, it can be kinda fun. XD

Leo

It was almost shocking to find fluorescent bulbs still in use. And he’s just replaced it with LED. This place was so outdated.

“Leo… I…”

He glanced down at Rory. The kid was fidgeting slightl…[Read more]
