Hmm. Maybe a separate building? Like maybe they originally had a big hall inside the school, but quickly realized it was way too small for all their needs, so that hall is now a music/orchestra/choir room? They are teaching future monarchs and nobles that will need to lead armies, fight duels, and who knows what else each country…[Read more]

Sorry if no one wants it to be this hyper specific, but I think it might make roleplaying easier in the long run. If the boys will be in the gymnasium a lot

This is a really huge gymnasium, but it makes perfect sense for a bunch of chaotic boys.

A few questions. Should this gymnasium take up pretty much all of the back of the academy? Should it be in the main feature back there or should we put it to the east or west side? Or is it completely separate from the main building?

the path from the main…

@whalekeeper

a map would be great

Giving this kid the break he needs

@whalekeeper Moth still following? 

Ellis 

Ellis let his feet lead as his mind wandered. He soon found himself on a gravel path outside meandering down a hill towards the gardens. It was much quieter out here. Two yellow butterflies flitted into view, dancing around each other, and he paused a moment to w…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That is a great idea. I’d much appreciate a visual, even if it’s just a basic “there’s stuff here, and here, and here” type thingy

So I imagined the gymnasium itself as a huge, high ceilinged building with skylights, all sorts of equipment (mats, bars, climbing wall, a court for various ball games or tennis, a wrestling square, and a few fencing strips), and a door to an enclosed indoor archery range (as that would likely be safer than an outdoor range where there’s more…[Read more]

Obviously I can’t draw anything skilled. But I need the digital equivalent of a scribble on a whiteboard

@elishavet-pidyon

I really like the idea of setting the gym so it’s half inside, half outside, with the open doors to the courtyard.

How about I try to do a quick drawing of what you described and post it so we have a visual? And we can add/change things as needed.

Having a basic visual would probably be helpful even if the gym was simpler, b…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon That sounds good. I appreciate the detail :]

@elishavet-pidyon so is it an outdoor gymnasium?

Wolfgang 

He pranced along behind Wilhelm. “What should we do first? Swords or wrestling? Or I could race you!”

Callum

Callum woke up dizzy. His ears buzzed. Hot water soaked his shirt and knees, and he slowly found himself to be on the floor in a puddle of water.

Oh, right. The chef had deigned to speak to him.

His face flushed with embarrassment, and he clutched his head, trying to regain his sense of balance. He stumbled back to his…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Whoops.

LeQoi

The child fell with unceremonious speed. LeQoi looked down at the crumpled figure on the floor and sighed patiently. It wasn’t everyday someone swooned at his feet, especially not as a natural response.

Perhaps the child could stay around.

“Let me know when he awakes.” He waved a long boned hand to the wide eyed…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @elishavet-pidyon

Y’all can create and control any professors you want! The only ones I should control by myself are the ones I create

@elishavet-pidyon

Yeah. I think Nick sometimes fall asleep because of other emotions, but it’s mostly laughter.

I pictured Callum to faint whenever he’s surprised, shocked, or frightened. And it’s a fainting spell, not sleeping, so he normally wakes up right away. It’s just blacking out for a short spell.

@whalekeeper

I am so unoriginal. I didn’t even notice until now

haha!

@elishavet-pidyon

and now I will eat. I just had to finish a chapter.

@elishavet-pidyon

who controls prof? isn’t it @whalekeeper ?

I just realize Callum is basically Nicholas Benedict. I am so unoriginal. I didn’t even notice until now
