Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

@loopylin

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

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]

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]

Girl, I’m actually so scared that I’m gonna have to have surgery one day for some reason or another. 😭 It’s probably inevitable, but I just hate the idea of being dead asleep while being operated on. 😵‍💫 (Not that I’d LIKE to be awake… XDXD)

I don’t know, it would be such a dramatic experience… I bet you would feel one part stress, o…[Read more]

I always feel so embarrassed when people ask for my email, because it’s such a bad address name. My dad convinced me to use it when I was twelve, and I haven’t gotten a new address since. 😅

@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]

@esther-c

No pain! It’s more important that we gauge the problems by scans, rather than by ‘I feel like something is wrong,’ because he is numb from the lower spine downward. There is more concern that he won’t feel something until it’s gotten too bad to reverse.

I know this sounds really bad, but he’s doing fine. ;] Even if he was to have…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle
Yep! I was at the last call. Hybridlore has my email, so you can grab it from her if it is more convenient than trading on our profiles.

@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]

@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…

It’s surprising whenever Loops drops some sass. I feel like I need to duck for cover.

@loopylin

My first impression of a masked character shall be forever influenced. XD

@loopylin

Brooooooooo…

@linus-smallprint

Overarching Theme. […] What are your thoughts?

This looks good. I’ll note, I feel a bit of a blur between books. (You’re still in the outlining phase so that’s fine.) It’s great that you have his story divided into three areas of growth, but because they’re very similar when it comes to the actions Alan has to take, you need…[Read more]

@loopylin

Yep, it’s good. :]

@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.
