Moth

Moth gave Ari a slow, bright-eyed smile. Then his brows knitted together and he melted back into his normal, dead serious expression. He sucked the honey from his fingers. “I’m sure you’ll be a great archer. What else do you intend to get good at?”

@koshka

Moth

Ari sounded like he didn’t care about making friends, or at least, didn’t want to. But as he absently looked around the room, he didn’t look half as abrasive as before.

Moth got up and started unpacking the few boxes next to his sleeping bag. He found more packaged food. “You like archery? Are you any good?”

He broke bread in…[Read more]

Moth

”I’ve only met two other people, at dinner. What about you?”

@ellette-giselle :]

@koshka

Moth

“A lamp or two. Yes.” Moth hung from the window by a hand, then dropped on all fours to the floor. He settled down peacefully in the middle of the room, cross-legged. His body, so brightly colored, almost lit up the dingy room by itself.

“What is your mother like? Did she send you here?” he asked.

@koshka

Moth

“But people don’t want dust on their clothes. I ought to get furniture, do you think?”

Ari wanted a window open; he had pointed at one of the squares in the multifaceted skylight.

Moth put his foot on the wall, then the other. The bottoms of his feet invisibly attached to the papered plaster. He walked up the wall, then hung…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

“No. But I’ll let you know if I do.”

Moth moved aside so Ari could see the gray door guarded a tiny, dilapidated staircase. The two of them walked up, steps creaking as they went.

At the top, Moth gazed at the empty attic-like room set before him. The darkening skylight cast little light in the corners and against the peeling…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

“You would have me fall into pride?” Moth joked, bowing thankfully.

He brightened, then checked himself. He waved an arm through his door. “Would you like to… um… hang out? Y-Yes. I could use some help with something. I have food, and I can entertain. Whatever you like.”

@koshka

Unless this was what you had been messing with…

I did do that. >:]

(Your name is hilarious)

Oh my word, I just realized the dog in my pfp looks like Toto from Oz. That was not intentional. I gave myself Oz’s title because I’m visiting my Midwestern childhood home, and I feel as if I am Dorothy, returned from a magical land to a famil…[Read more]

@koshka

I was messing around with it. Don’t worry, I’ll put the same pic back. :]

Child of nobody. Well, that was certainly an improvement on his own situation.

I have to say, this is so edgy coming from Ari and I am invested in that. XD

Moth

“Yes. That’s right.” Moth’s voice quieted. “King of the fae.”

@koshka

Moth

Moth frowned. He only understood the emotions in Ari’s voice, but it seemed rude to ask more questions. There was the desire to know, and the desire to be polite.

The former won. “Do middle children die easily?”

@koshka

Moth

Why are you here?

Moth paused. His eyes flickered thoughtfully. The best answer was at the tip of his tongue, even if it wasn’t the full answer. “I want to better myself. Learn everything I can, so I can help my little scattered kindred with their troubles.”

He didn’t understand the full truth himself. He laughed without opening…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

“Ari,” Moth repeated. A good name, and easy to remember.

Ari was waiting for something.

“Moth Prince. Son desiderium, child of nobody.” He stepped forward, curving his body into a graceful bow. “That’s a bit of a mouthful. It’s… you know how it is. Call me Moth.”

@koshka

Moth

Moth’s smile became less pronounced until only a faint quirk in the corner of his mouth was left. “No. I won’t.”

This prince was tall and a touch older. He looked like a wild creature. Not physically, of course. But his eyes and demeanor barely repressed a dark energy underneath. Perhaps he was a wildcat, passively flicking his…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I ought to reply to Ruth next. I’ll try to post in the next day or so

@highscribeofaetherium

FOUR? Oh my 🤣

Yes 🤣 Five if you count the fact that one of the earlier characters had two masks instead of one.

but as the story progresses he moves down the spectrum a bit towards the evil side. At this point he’s probably somewhere in between.

I’m curious to know if this guy is going to be a problem for the other c…[Read more]

@koshka (@loopylin and @mineralizedwritings too, just so y’all know I’m moving my character)

I meant to reply right away, Koshka. I am sorry for the delay. But alas, many things happened this week. :’)

Also this rp is rather long, but it is what it is.

Moth

Lois and Flax left the table, and Moth almost followed them. But someone blocked his w…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

(yes, it is a coincidence that he has a mask. They must be in style lol)

Acharis is among his kin XD Now there have been four different people with masks. Clearly this is a labyrinth motif.

Antagonist, you say. What is Acharis’ moral alignment? Is he evil, or just pitted against your story’s main characters for some…[Read more]
