Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

*Immediately hunts for paper*

@whalekeeper

Honestly, I’ve sort of been feeling the entire time Ari was here that his habits of busting bullie’s noses is as much why he has zero friends as his abrasive attitudes. He’s always on someone’s hit list, and people know it, but he’s also quite dangerous. Like genuinely has can turn fey and deadly.

So like, he has protected kids be…[Read more]

Trying to finish up Project Fairies plot and having iSsUeS

Perhaps draw it? On a whiteboard or something? Drawing sections of a story as visual arcs helps me sometimes. It’s easier to see everything at once and then focus on the unfinished stuff without getting overwhelmed.

@koshka

If I’m being honest, Ari would probably be a lot more aware of what’s going on now if he has hurt Jasper in the past. He would be on a hit list and know it.

Remington

Jasper’s not a bad fellow. Not at all. He was enviable, in fact. Remington just needed to avoid him today. They would be on better terms in a little while – just a little…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I just had a thought. What if it was Jasper’s arm that Ari broke on his second day at school?

*Concerned noises*

Ari

He had just stepped outside when Remington darted past him and all but tumbled under a bush. Odd behavior even for this odd buck.

Ari paused to lean against the doorpost as if surveying the pells. Besides, what was…[Read more]

@koshka

The boy was small enough Ari was tempted to ruffle his perfectly combed hair.

That would trigger a very mixed reaction, haha

The thing is, Ari is highly unlikely to actually beat up someone smaller than himself on purpose unless seriously provoked.

That’s what I figured.

Remington

“I already have,” Remington said.

He was losing motiv…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

*Cracks knuckles*

actually not sure how he’s going to respond yet.

Ari

He rolled his eyes. He’d warned the kid enough. If he waited much longer the other students would start to question the validity of his threats. And Ari never gave empty threats.

Besides, this morning was testing his patience already. He would feel better…[Read more]

Remington

“No one else wants to play!” The lavender-clad prince shed an imaginary tear.

@koshka

Ari would be allowed to be fully annoyed and pummel the kid, if that was in line with his character. My character does not have plot armor.

Also cannot see how handing him a mallet would be a good idea. XD

One very stupid person thinks it’s a great idea.

@freed_and_redeemed hiiiiiii how’ve you been?

Also cannot see how handing him a mallet would be a good idea. XD

But I am so enjoying this anyway.

@elishavet-pidyon @whalekeeper

As an introvert myself I feel this in some deep part of my soul.

(Ari’s behavior isn’t purely introversion though. He has serious people issues)

One of my irl friends was literally shaking me the other day because I didn’t want to open up. So yes, comparing an extrovert to an otter cracking clams is a great a…

@whalekeeper

Your sunshine just happens to be deeply buried inside you.

*Loses it*

Ari

His eyebrows rose. Remington wasn’t leaving. Beautiful.

Having fun? Sunshine? He scoffed before a memory of pleading hazel eyes could surface.

“Come play with me, brother.”

He grit his teeth. Too bad Remington was twenty feet below him on the floor. He’d…[Read more]

One of my irl friends was literally shaking me the other day because I didn’t want to open up. So yes, comparing an extrovert to an otter cracking clams is a great analogy.

@elishavet-pidyon

HA.

All the golden retrievers force Ari to reconsider his entire existence.

@koshka

Remington

“No. But that’s exactly why I’m asking you. This game brings out the sunshine in everyone! Your sunshine just happens to be deeply buried inside you. Surely you want to have a little fun!”

@loopylin her giving Soldier three cheese sticks is so funny to me for some reason

@whalekeeper @rae

Sniper

Mel handed three cheese sticks to Soldier, who ate ’em as ravenously as he did the first. She pointed out the various furnishings; I held back a chuckle as I realized she probably thought we weren’t familiar with all of it. (I don’t know…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

*hysterical laughter while trying to control him*

Ari

He could nearly feel the darkness pooling in his eyes, smothering their silver flecks. His hands relaxed their hold on the climbing wall.

“Remington La Creux, have you ever known me to play games?’
