Uh, big brother mode just got activated.

Leo

Rory looked… lonely. Leo reached over and ruffled the kid’s hair, not stopping to think that he was probably too old for that. He needed a childhood. “Welp, now you’re stuck with me too, so I guess you’ll see how blessed Quincy is.”

He laughed and scooped up a handful of metal…[Read more]

Leo

Leo chuckled and shook his head. “Do we look related? But I’m the one who pulled the little monkey from a shelled out hole, so I guess I have as much right to claim him as anyone else.”

He leaned back against the couch.

@ellette-giselle

Oh goodness yes. XD

Leo

Soldier. Yes…and no. Another sigh caught in his throat.

“Yes, but no. I don’t really know what I’m doing here.” He leaned back against the couch. The floor felt cold through his work pants.

“I was apprenticed to Admiral S. Faltack at twelve years old as a novice engineer. Silvia’s always been smart,…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Eeeeek! I like this. It makes a lot of sense.

*enthusiastic nods*

*flits off to see the Pinterest board*

@whalekeeper

If I remember right, he has long experience breaking out of jail, and so somehow lifts the bolt with a length of cord. Or something. I think your theory is entirely possible. It is the Mousethief, after all. XD

It’s been a while since I read it too.

Lol. And I just jump in talking about Knights and death ravens while the conversation is leaning toward intergalactic elves.  This is what makes KP what it is.

*Poof of random glitter*

@ellette-giselle @ducktater

That’s true! Like in Mossflower, where the one mousethief just escapes. Hilarious yes, but dreadfully convenient. One can still save One’s character, but it needs to fit the rules.

Of course, to mix stuff up you can always make a master prison that has a weakness that both the good guys and the bad guys exploit. L…[Read more]

Leo

“All sorts of things. Mostly worked on ships. Built one out of scrap material with Silvia. Took us three years. The other stuff.” He sighed. Looked over at the kid. Well, most people probably wouldn’t call him a kid. “I worked with energy deployment and shielding. I was one of the best.”

It wasn’t a boast, but it also…[Read more]

There! See?!? At least he gets this chance at a happy life. *Pouts with arms crossed*

@loopylin

Ah, me too. If anything RPs can at least give poor, mistreated characters a chance at a happy life.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Of course I have. I’m an engineer, top of my class. It was the most fun I’ve had in… Well, there’s not much like it. So much energy. Such precise, perfect lines.”

He grinned, picking up a bolt. It was a hex bolt, smooth and surprisingly new. Close to the size he used on the Mantis. He rolled it between his fingers.

“I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Aye, you got it. Nearly everything built out of wood uses nails or screws. Metal stuff like big buildings use heaver screws, welding, bolts, all sorts of things.” He leaned back on his heels eyes going distant. He rolled a bolt on the palm of his hand. “Back home we used a lot more Laser welding, but screws and bolts are…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Or…Leo didn’t have emotional breakdowns as much as serious temper problems and protective issues. Silvia had a lot more breakdowns because she couldn’t understand what was going on (she’s about 5 years younger than Leo).

Leo

“Sure.” He dropped to one knee by the bucket. “This,” he picked up a screw “is a screw. A Philips head…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I get it. XD

I wonder how Leo and Rory would have gotten along when Leo was a torn up 13 year old. Or even 16 year old at the beginning of his own book. It’s been great fun to write him as a fully developed character.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

He frowned. Something was…off. He sat back against the edge of the table, eyebrows quirking and lips pinched.

Rory was tense. Too tense. Kinda like a rubber band pulled tight or a soldier at attention.

Oh. Leo could have smacked himself. Instead he sighed and let a small, serious smile slip into place.

“Rory, I’m not…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Same room we were in back before the gray and run for Quincy, technically yesterday.

Leo

He let the door fall closed behind them and headed for the box piled wall.

“Make yourself comfortable on the couch there I’ll find that bucket somewhere.” Where had he put it? A few minutes search in the tool boxes came up with nothing. He…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Oof!

Deflects it with the essay I’ll start today.

I have about 50 snowballs stashed away in here…

@ellette-giselle

Yep.

I’m so excited to see how this goes!

@loopylin

XD That’s pretty accurate. It would help maybe, if they were less helmet-like. Yet…

The Lone Ranger? Definitely the Mandalorian. Phantom of the Opera? Absolutely. We Keepers don’t discriminate.

XD *sage nod*

Although, a writer friend of mine that’s not on here gets so confused when I compare my Viktor to both Aragorn and Janner. XD…[Read more]

@koshka

Leo would make a great Sunday School teacher.
