Oof. The flu is no fun. I’m glad you’re feeling better.

@whalekeeper

Yup yup yup, mixed feelings and confusion as he’s slowly found out he might have been lied to all his life…

Also, I noticed you rated him highest on the attractiveness scale. XD Goodness. He must have good romantic prospects, if he doesn’t scare them off with his prickles.

Hehe, yeah. Um, so, when you’re father was openly a…[Read more]

@koshka

Nice chart! I didn’t know Ari likes singing until choir singing showed up in his thoughts. It is good to hear that he also likes flatbread. A man of taste.

He sure has mixed feelings about his family, because he doesn’t accept any slights to his family – that’s a shred of loyalty – but he also doesn’t enjoy looking like his father. He…[Read more]

Moth

“There you have it, then.”

They walked on, following where the trail might have gone.

There weren’t any other signs of disturbance. After a while longer, it seemed like a wild goose chase. No matter. A wild goose chase was something to do, anyway. Moth admired the landscape as they went.

@keilah-h

LOL hearing the slang in Lucy’s world from her is cute.

😛 Many of the people living around Lucy are young men who work in the factories or the fields, and she sometimes talks with them when they’re in the soup kitchens. I still haven’t decided how different the Outer Fields teenage culture is from the more populated city areas…[Read more]

@loopylin

Moth could explain what a robot is, but he doesn’t know very well himself.

Moth

The faerie continued walking. “It came with Lois Thorne. A quiet metal man, it was. Perhaps he commanded it to go into these gardens. I do not know why.”

@loopylin

Moth

“Ghosts can walk, although they cannot leave footprints. It might be a Neighbor, taking hold of a physical vessel. But that is unlikely. It is most likely a machine.”

Moth stopped short. “Ah, I remember. I saw a machine yesterday night.”

Technically he’s kinder, more affectionate, and a good deal less violent and mentally ill when he’s…well…not mentally ill.

Here’s Ari’s chart. Twas fun to make, poor boy.

@whalekeeper

Preferably. XD

Ari

The view through the windows was, as always, somewhat uninspiring. Still, it felt better to be able to see outside.

Arileaned forward a bit. His feet dangled a few inches below a handhold and twenty feet above a slightly balding head. The safety supervisor hadn’t noticed him yet. Ari shrugged and looked back out the high windows.

Choir had…[Read more]

@loopylin

Moth

Moth collected some of the cotton-like fluff from the reeds and made a palm-sized nest on the ground. He laid the bird there. Then he started walking, speeding up to a quick stride. “You coming, Stormwatcher?”

@whalekeeper

Is Lillian sweet and smokin’?

LOL hearing the slang in Lucy’s world from her is cute.

@rae Soldier’s old roommate was a world-destroying ancient being who is now supposedly a ghost that lives in a brick (that he brings everywhere and considers a part of the family) so I’m pretty sure he would be completely chill with his kids bringing another one home lol

@theshadow we’re all very uncooperative lol

@rae

Not to mention he’s been abused by the people of his own home that he’s more willing to trust a complete stranger not from the island than a villager from it.

Yeah that makes sense.

Why can’t Gabriel leave the island? Are there crazy storms that make it impossible to sail away? Or is it the demon monsters that get in the way?

It’s a fun coi…[Read more]

@loopylin

I’m scared to ask because I don’t want you to be right

I won’t say anything, then.

Moth

Ellis voice had grown a touch uncomfortable. His eyes, which had glowed icy blue a minute ago, were scanning the reeds.
He could be right. This was just how nature worked. But the bird might have been killed unnaturally.
Moth went back to stu…[Read more]

@loopylin

Moth

“Why? Did you have a vision, just then? Was it…”

Moth stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the bird’s body. He picked it up and cradled it to his chest, brushing its head feathers with his fingers. The poor thing was still warm.

@loopylin

He was looking down at a new set of footprints in the snow. They were barefoot and small like a child’s.

I’m so invested. I have a theory

Can Moth sense other things like fairy vs human souls? I’m curious about his abilities now

Moth antennae are really cool in regular nature. They have a great sense of smell and they can track down…[Read more]
