As you know, we already started, and we kinda just write whenever we feel like it. There’s not really any schedule or anything.

I really should get mentally checked out some day. There is no possible way I’m neurotypical.

I think that most Keepers are probably in the same boat. o_o Myself included.

As a twice officially diagnosed Not Normal Person, yeah, there’s probably a reason I get along so well with you people.

Cute!! Love the long, thick hair! That is surely a hassle to brush, but I’m sure he’s up for the task.

Callum

Callum combined meltable ingredients in a saucepan and brought them to a near simmer. The smell of hot butter wafted over him. Choux pastry was simple enough for him to make without a chance of messing up. In fact, any classic recipe by itself should be easy enough. The…[Read more]

Jasper

Seeing Wolfgang’s attempt to reimagine his own move, Jasper dodged and deflected the boy’s thrust. He pulled back a third time and began pacing, circling the other boy. “I have to strike you lightly or I’ll damage your blade. If I must be fair.”

Once again, he twice-clicked the toggle on his sword hilt.

Enid

Enid sat down, crossing her legs ankle-on-knee. “Enid Walker.”

I really should get mentally checked out some day. There is no possible way I’m neurotypical.

Join the club.

She also noticed they were all girls, she was the only one who looked close to a boy.

*Ahem* Noel. Little ma’am. Enid is here.

Jasper

Jasper caught Wolfgang’s move, used a sweeping circular motion, and redirected the tip of the boy’s blade away. He used the opportunity to push Wolfgang back — not roughly, but with a few relatively gentle moves.

He returned to his original reserved stance. He clicked a metal toggle on the hilt of his s…[Read more]

Gotcha. I figured he was somewhere between casual amateur and professionally trained for the sake of it. Definitely a cool sport to get into.

When have you ever known me to be ok?

“Maybe one day I can be a superhero! The first real one! I could fight crime and stuff! I’m definitely going to do that when I’m old.” After her declaration, she sat back down. “You guys could be my sidekicks,” she added graciously.

Meanwhile, both these sidekicks grew up to be super crime fighters.

Mel

She looked up from the Batman comic on her lap. “No, I don’t think so. They’re just for comics and tv. I don’t think Gotham is even a real city, at least not in America.” She looked thoughtful, then excited. She suddenly stood up and held her arms out to the sides. “Maybe one day I can be a superhero! The first…[Read more]

He is probably not as skilled as Jasper, but his style is designed for battle etc. It would likely depend on circomstances.

That’s a good point. Wilhelm’s style is for battle, while Wolfgang’s is more about dueling for the fun of it. From what I gather.

XD We do love the Wolfy overconfidence.

Jasper

“That’s right.” Jasper waited.

I looked around and I did not get a notification for these messages. If I see anything, I will try to confirm it (or whatever action a mod needs to take). It might indeed be the result of posting links.

I know I drew that character again at one point. I hate that drawing too but lemme see if I can find it.

lol you doing ok?

I feel bad for villainizing Ellis a little bit

noo he did it to himself

@koshka

sorry if his behavior is super inconsistent im still figuring him out

Ellis

Ellis smothered his smile. He reactively shot a glare back at Ari, but quickly smothered that too. He would get back at him later. Carlusti? What did that mean? His knee began…[Read more]

I don’t like to say this because I like it when things are fair. But Jasper is the son of a blood-hungry conquerer. And his hobby is weapons. He’ll probably win this

Jasper

Jasper gently tossed the morningstar aside. He drew his sword from its sheath. The blade was pale, tinged almost robin’s egg blue, and…[Read more]

@koshka

Thank the stars, but these desks were built for gnomes.

Hehehehehehe

This is kinda funny watching now as Bwerdie starts off as an orphaned kid

Is that literally what her name is, or is it just a nickname? It’s a funny coincidence because Lucy’s special nickname has always been Pidge.

Lucille

Mel, meanwhile, had been contentedly quiet. Lucy reached over and tapped her on the shoulder. “Mel. Are any of these superheroes real, d’you think?”

Lucille

“‘Cause that proves I can be like you, see?”

If there was poison here, Enid had served with her life before the little ones in the group. A job worth unconsciously done.

how heroic

Basic physical description: lightish brown skin, curly brown hair in a loose braid with several beaded strands, sort of romani/bohemian style clothes, slightly above average height, about 17, birthmark on the back of her left hand

Henley

Henley blinked in confusion as a…[Read more]

She’s an mc and definitely a hot mess right now.

One could say she is a very hot mess. Perhaps on fire. She looks like she has experience with fire.

“It’s tea, I believe.” One of the girls spoke clearly, closest to Enid.

From how everyone looked, they were also in the dark. They had no idea how they got there, either.

“Ah. Thanks for clearing things up.” Enid replied. Still studying the table, she picked up a scone and took a thoughtful bite. Chewing helped her think.

“Does anyon…[Read more]

Moth

For once, Moth did not hear the voices of those around him. Their words punctured his mind some of the way, and he vaguely registered their meaning. He might have pushed away his disappointment — disappointment, was it? — and enjoyed the lecture. The professor had said something to him and was now writing something els…[Read more]

, she’s someone’s little Bwerdie.

Siren girl?? I forgot her name

Lois

“I believe those questions are better suited for a poet or a philosopher, not a scientist, my friend,” Lois murmured gently to Moth. He glanced up at Ellis. He wasn’t sure why, possibly for support. The prince was resting his head on one hand, seemingly trying to but failing to hide an amused smile. Lois felt that the…[Read more]

I love the fire theme. Can’t tell if she’s a villain or an mc with a lot of character growth to go through

To all of probably only 1-2 people who get this reference, she’s someone’s little Bwerdie.

Ahhhh.

Well now I want Enid, Isabeau, AND Lu to be here. And I can’t do that. Hm.

Lucille

Lucy was not sure if the strong inside part was all true. But people kept telling her those things, so she was not going to argue. Besides, hopefully she would be good at everything when she grew to full size. “Mr. Zandi — he’s my next-door neighbor — he says I remind him of a war general he met when he was a b…[Read more]

is, I can’t think of a single person who actually knows him who thinks he’s weak in anything except social and academic understanding.

I’d guess that’s why. He’s not socially or academically knowledgeable. Anyone lacking in those skills would at least feel unintelligent, even if that isn’t the case.

Moth

They all took seats at dark mahogany desks. Moth settled down, softly twiddling his fingers. Sitting down with a master of knowledge always opened his eyes to something new. He had never learned in a place like this before.

The professor — a late middle-aged gentleman — strode to the standing backboard. His sil…[Read more]

………………I cannot justify my recent buffoonery 😶‍🌫️ Let us just pretend that jam and chicken guts have common traits.

Oh, yes. Practically the same thing.

@loopylin

“What was that?” Quibble asked sharply, turning to Clancy.

“He said you’re too loud. He can’t read.” Clancy’s voice was naturally soft, but he spoke clearly and patient…

Fry grabbed the edge of the table and slowly pulled herself up to peer over the edge.

Someone get this woman a booster seat

Good, good. Trust your feelings.

hmmmmm

He sorta gives Sterling vibes from Ashtown Burials. Sorta. Lovable but definitely not trustworthy.

I love how several people in this rp are scheming different things with their characters. So many secrets >:]

Quibble and Clancy

A large, dusty tome slammed down on the table in front of Tavar.

“The Incompleted Authoritee on Medicyne and Ailements of Mynd and Bodye!” Ms. Quibble recited triumphantly. “It was hidden in the back. Not on the shelves.” A short, balding man stood behind her with another short stack of books.…[Read more]

Every time I start to like him, he gives me creeper feelings.

Exactly what I’m saying

Also

I love that Callum is so passionate about making food for people to remember, and meanwhile in the same building, whatever this is… is happening:

A loud sound erupted, and Everett flinched. Still frowning, he turned his attention away from the floor to see…

Gotcha! Noted.

LeQoi seems a little morally nebulous to me. Just a touch. Just a dollop.

Callum

Callum bobbed his head up and down a few times, hurriedly showing humility. “Thank you, Master Chef.”

He followed the maid, as he was told. She led him to a particular section of the kitchens, passing all manner of work stations. As Cal…[Read more]

Callum

Callum forced himself to meet the chef’s eyes, not moving an inch. He hid his trembling hands behind his back. “I apologize for the deception, Chef, sir. It was wrong of me to enter this space without asking. I just… I wanted to be here. Cooking has been my passion since I was little. When I was starving, a stranger gave me a cur…[Read more]
