I was thinking they’re just walking a path around the school and they’ll arrive at the gym whenever we want

@whalekeeper thanks. My phone was telling me a pell was a sheet of paper, which made no sense in this context.

Ellis

“No. It’s more… spontaneous than that. I know nothing about your fate.”

The path sloped downward into a small, marshy area, surrounded by waist-high reeds. As Ellis stepped around a muddy patch, he noticed something. Several…[Read more]

@rae

Happy birthday!! Congrats on living this long!

(Perhaps that is a weird thing to congratulate someone for. No matter.)

This is why I call him oblivious.

Ah. That explains it.

(Lucy’s reaction to such an episode would be interesting, as she would completely break or try to keep him together. I can see it going either way personally.)

I’m n…[Read more]

A modern pell, used for practicing with swords:

Moth

“That’s wicked,” Moth breathed. “Can you see someone’s fate just by looking at him?”

@rae

Oh that one’s really cool!

I can never do myself. I can’t get my brain to ignore the oddity of drawing myself. XD I can’t believe how good you are though!

I don’t really heve a good drawing of felicity

@rae I did your chart thingy! Posting here because these characters aren’t on unvale

@anyonewholikesthesecharactersidk

@whalekeeper very helpful map thank you

@everyone what are pells?

@whalekeeper

Ellis
“It means we watch for storms.” Ellis turned to face Moth’s inquisitive eyes. “And other things.” He began to walk slowly again towards the path to the gymnasium. The vague, sarcastic answer didn’t last long. “Some in my family have the ability to see the future. It was a gift from the fae over a hundred years ago and we have…[Read more]

@loopylin

Yep, he followed Ellis

Moth

“What does the name Stormwatcher mean?” Moth spoke up, right behind Ellis.

Okay good. If y’all want to decide where the stables and paddocks are, I’ll add them. :]

Also I don’t want to be controlling how all this works. So if anyone wants to change this or thinks something works better, I really don’t mind. I’m not the person who makes the final say. It’s entirely based on what your characters need.

The more I look at it the more I like this layout.

@whalekeeper

That looks great! The archery range might need more space, but then that would only be for like, way more intense archery than the school probably wants to teach, so it makes sense. The stables and paddocks could even be to one side of the gymnasium OR the main stables could be farther out and there’s only a small stable and paddock…[Read more]

The world should be glad that I am not a building designer. This feels like an impractical layout

Maybe the tiltyard area should be more of a large courtyard in between the main building and the gym

So at first I was thinking something like this. But the stables still need a place. It should probably be on the side somewhere so it’s accessible from the front and the back, as people come in from travel.

Thoughts? Is this actually practical or does something else make a lot more sense? Is this scribble legible?

I’ll just draw something and you guys tell me what to change

Okay. Maybe the gymnasium is a separate building in the center of the back gardens, then. We could integrate the gardens so they sort of surround the gymnasium (hedge bushes and paths and the like), and the tiltyard is walled off so the gym isn’t spilling into the tended grounds. Plus the stables are there… somewhere…

The stables would need room for paddocks and training yards, so it would be a pretty good size in and of itself. We could say the gymnasium is behind the school, and then the stables are behind that, and there are gardens on both sides of the main school complex? Idk.
