Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

@grcr

*Stares at the cat* Who am I kidding, animals aren’t me forte, either. XD The poses are so fun!! The colors are nice and consistent which makes me think they are siblings or at least belong in the same close social group. The girl’s hair has a fun shape. Well done!

Barnes

That was one way of naming. Barnes brushed off her shoulder pad as she marched onward, her brisk pace unbothered by the uprooted path underfoot.

“I am Barnes, the… well, private aficionado doesn’t cut it.” She walked quietly for a while before speaking more. “I am the lover.”

@rae

Oh, and eating spaghetti (or attempting to) when you hand can’t even grip the fork right without hurting a lot is quite the experience. Do not recommend.

Oh nooo XD

@loopylin I won’t respond until tomorrow but sure, I guess.

@the_lost-journal I’ll get the characters together eventually, ok?

Shoulda added a bio or something, but I’ll do that tomorrow.

@rae @the_lost-journal @loopylin @whoever-else-is-in-the-rp

I’m going for it. Here’s hoping my character won’t kill me.

also, this is the first RP I’ve been in to have the characters as they appear in the Valve Galactic Trilogy (yep, I found a name for the universe: the game company that created the three games the story’s based off of, and…[Read more]

Barnes

Barnes stared down her nose at the young man. When he finished speaking, she reached out her hand. “You have a ladybug on your shirt.”

Before he could reply, she picked off the bug and held it in the palm of her hand. It was brilliantly deep in color, just like the rest of the labyrinth. The only time she could rem…[Read more]

I probably should have given a little bio.

Name: Lucille Barnes

Description: A young woman (older than twenty, nearing thirty) with grayish blond hair and a tall build, at least six feet tall. She has a fair amount of natural strength. She wears a ruffled cream shirt and maroon jacket and pants. I’ve already mentioned that in what I’ve wro…[Read more]

Barnes

“I don’t not care, if that’s what you’re suggesting,” Barnes said without looking to see who it was. “I’m not a nihilist.”

The walls rustled around them, and Barnes turned her head to scan the smaller hedges.

Some of the maze was smaller and narrower than the rest, like little mini gardens encased in the rest of t…[Read more]

Barnes

Barnes meandered along the edge of the labyrinth. She stood behind the rest of the crowd, almost as if she were part of the background. Her pale skin easily matched some of the stone decorations along the directionless path. That was the only similarity between her and the place.

Home. It felt far away, although logically, Barnes must…[Read more]

aight, gimme ten minutes

@rae

That’s impressive. I’d never be able to do that.

Don’t even remember how I did it lol, I guess it just clicked in my brain.

Agreed. I remember I had a youth group thing called Olympians every Wednesday night at our old Church, and I was six when I started it. All my homeschooled friends didn’t have much trouble reading (I still strug…

@the_lost-journal Everyone I guess!!

oh yeah! Huntress and Leander would make an interesting duo.

@loopylin all righty, here we go!

any character in specific you want me to drop in, from what you’ve seen of all my guys? Could be anyone from any time or any roleplay/other forum. I remember them all.

@rae yeah. Also, i taught myself how to read, so the exeperience of someone teaching you in unfamiliar to me.

(The tutoring was more for math and general thinking skills. He calls it “brain training.” But he has a lot of books in his office on the subject of how to properly teach reading, since many school curriculums don’t quite hit the mark,…[Read more]

@rae

I vaguely remember that. This new scene is really cute; although it might be a little confusing for casual readers. As a person who knows a lot about phonemes and stuff cause of my very meticulous tutor, I get it, but I don’t know if all the letter sounds and stuff will confuse people.

@theducktator thanks!!

@ellette-giselle ohhh, I understand now.

(I cringe when y’all say sermon because I’m a woman and I wrote it. But I guess Julian is a guy. 🤣)

Just cause you’re a woman doesn’t mean you can’t write impactful things.

Like yeah, the Bible specifically says that only men should be pastors cause it mirrors them being fathers and heads of hou…[Read more]

@whalekeeper lollllll yes

@theducktator oh that’s interesting, my dad is going on a plane trip tomorrow too! Not that early though.

I’ll be praying for both of them.
