Moth

For once, Moth did not hear the voices of those around him. Their words punctured his mind some of the way, and he vaguely registered their meaning. He might have pushed away his disappointment — disappointment, was it? — and enjoyed the lecture. The professor had said something to him and was now writing something els…[Read more]

@rae

To all of probably only 1-2 people who get this reference, she’s someone’s little Bwerdie.

Ahhhh.

Well now I want Enid, Isabeau, AND Lu to be here. And I can’t do that. Hm.

Lucille

Lucy was not sure if the strong inside part was all true. But people kept telling her those things, so she was not going to argue. Besides, hopefully she would be good at everything when she grew to full size. “Mr. Zandi — he’s my next-door neighbor — he says I remind him of a war general he met when he was a b…[Read more]

@rae

is, I can’t think of a single person who actually knows him who thinks he’s weak in anything except social and academic understanding.

I’d guess that’s why. He’s not socially or academically knowledgeable. Anyone lacking in those skills would at least feel unintelligent, even if that isn’t the case.

@koshka @loopylin

Moth

They all took seats at dark mahogany desks. Moth settled down, softly twiddling his fingers. Sitting down with a master of knowledge always opened his eyes to something new. He had never learned in a place like this before.

The professor — a late middle-aged gentleman — strode to the standing backboard. His sil…[Read more]

@beth-torres

………………I cannot justify my recent buffoonery 😶‍🌫️ Let us just pretend that jam and chicken guts have common traits.

Oh, yes. Practically the same thing.

@loopylin

“What was that?” Quibble asked sharply, turning to Clancy.

“He said you’re too loud. He can’t read.” Clancy’s voice was naturally soft, but he spoke clearly and patient…

Every time I start to like him, he gives me creeper feelings.

Exactly what I’m saying

Also

I love that Callum is so passionate about making food for people to remember, and meanwhile in the same building, whatever this is… is happening:

A loud sound erupted, and Everett flinched. Still frowning, he turned his attention away from the floor to see…

@koshka

Gotcha! Noted.

LeQoi seems a little morally nebulous to me. Just a touch. Just a dollop.

Callum

Callum bobbed his head up and down a few times, hurriedly showing humility. “Thank you, Master Chef.”

He followed the maid, as he was told. She led him to a particular section of the kitchens, passing all manner of work stations. As Cal…[Read more]

Jasper
Jasper smiled. “Like I said. I have fondness for the nursery.”
He absentmindedly swung the morning star back and forth at his side. He looked from Wolfgang to Wilhelm, still smiling. “Do I have the pleasure of facing one of you?”

@koshka

Callum

Callum forced himself to meet the chef’s eyes, not moving an inch. He hid his trembling hands behind his back. “I apologize for the deception, Chef, sir. It was wrong of me to enter this space without asking. I just… I wanted to be here. Cooking has been my passion since I was little. When I was starving, a stranger gave me a cur…[Read more]

I did look for it on Libby and didn’t find it, but it’s probably accessible through inter-library loan. I do not have it yet, but hopefully I can find it!

@maiden_moonlight

I’m putting a new link into my bio. It’s a doc with little character summaries and a plot summary. I’m probably going to expand it into something more and edit things, but this should be the basic gist.

@loopylin

Thank you Loopyyy for your helppp

@rae @loopylin @keilah-h

I think we should draw both of them with those faces. That would be fun.

Lucille

“It means I’m tall,” Lucy admitted. “It actually… doesn’t n-necessitate strength. But everyone in my family is good at getting strong. And I’m strong.”

Balance, on the other hand, was not hers. She lost it. Before she could fall, she…[Read more]

My girl if she had glasses

She’ll probably need glasses if she ever makes it past thirty

@rae @loopylin @keilah-h

Lucille

Lucy looked at Gabriel, still wobbling, and wrinkled her nose. “I’m in the ninety-fifth percentile. So, actually — so actually I’m pretty strong. Just so you know.”

@maiden_moonlight

I tried to find it, but it says that I need you to give me access.

Okay. My friend Loopylin owns the doc. She’ll give you access soon, I’m sure!

But yes, a summary would be very nice.

I shall write one down, then! Give me a little time and I’ll cook something up.

@rae @loopylin (I almost tagged @mel) @keilah-h

Lucille

”Maybe.” Lucy studied the panel. She got up, backed away from the paper, and got onto Mel’s living room couch. She pulled herself onto the couch arm and crouched there. It was just precarious enough for a little girl to use as a balance beam. Her oversized red jacket draped over the side,…[Read more]

@koshka

The kitchens are also presided over by a questionable master chef named LeQoi. Which reminds me he hasn’t said much is some time…

I do believe Callum is free from his duties. Perhaps we can assume he was sent to LeQoi?

*Screaming intensifies*

Who knows if we can handle that much crazy social energy at once? Plus Wolf?
