“Oh. Hm.”

They walked for a little while in silence.

Lucy hopped on one leg, pulling up her stocking. “…So your birth certificate says Fifth Protector?”

@rae

Lucille

Lucy kicked the burned wall a few times, crushing embers with her heel. It didn’t take long for the man to stride ahead, and she had no choice but to follow. “So, uh – hm. Who are you?”

@rae Cool, what’s on his neck?

@rae

Lucille

Lucy leaned forward to study the blaze, rubbing her knuckles against her legs. The charred, moist wall peeled in layers like an old flower bulb. Black, it was already smitten again with dew, and conflicting to look at. The smoke stung her eyes, sweet and bitter.

She took a breath with her sleeve in her face and gagged. She’d have t…[Read more]

@rae wow, that looks amazing!

@rae

Lucille

Lucy choked down a sound. The gray tendrils wandered towards her, bewitching as colorless fields in the morning, but with more life than those.

Thoughts returned in a rush. Hadn’t the nameless man pulled her away? He stood between her and the writhing wall.

In the next instant, she made up her mind. She emptied her pockets and…[Read more]

@rae

Little fire.

Hehe, that’s got a good ring to it

In case you forgot what Gabriel looked like, just replace the gauze with petal-shaped birthmark.

Gotcha. Last art I saw was with a mask so I didn’t get a proper look. Nice art, by the way!

I will reply in an hour or so btw. My family’s on a LotR marathon and I’m quite overstimulated by the act…[Read more]

@rae there’s dodgeball happening in PE right now with the entire high school (Felicity roleplay on page 516), and Dante is currently bleeding out in the basement and getting medical help from Rory. So not much has really happened since last time you were here.

@rae

Lucille

He sounded exactly like the far field workers who were sent to asylums.

“You’re crazy,” Lucy whispered.

She turned inward, so her knees pressed against his chest, and kicked hard. The man grunted and loosened his grip, just enough for Lucy to roll out and onto the ground.

Air burst from her lungs and she gasped for breath. The g…[Read more]

@rae

Lucille

Lucy wiped her nose and crossed her arms again. “I d… hm, don’t know who that is. Barn. A barn?”

All around her, the foliage was dark and unfamiliar. None of it looked like home. She began to pant, a sense of dread building.

@rae

My goodness, she’s such a cute child!

Glad you like her! I love Lu from the beginning to the end of her timeline. Even if a nine-year-old isn’t a super complicated character lol

lol, I’d like to see that.

It might happen anyway

About the voices, that’s the maze messing with Gabriel. I shall develop it later on.

Ah, I shall keep that in mind…[Read more]

oooh interesting

@rae

The rune over Gabriel’s eye on his mask does have strange sight properties, so that works!

Something told me he has magical intuition :]

Lucille

The man spoke. Lucy’s heart dropped. The voice belonged to a stranger.

For a long time, she didn’t say anything, even though the man’s voice was urgent. Fury temporarily warmed her body. Her h…[Read more]

@rae

Man, I am really not communicating today. I forgot to say Barnes is magically transformed by the labyrinth. She is now a child. Her age is magically reversed, so she’s maybe nine or ten?

We can say Gabriel can see through the magic for an instant and realize it’s Barnes; not to mention she’s wearing the same jacket.

Thank you for savin…[Read more]

@rae

I forgot how much I loved rping.

Yeeeessss

@rae

Also good to have you back!

Okay, let’s see. We’re gonna do that fun thing where the character switches their name

Lucille

The girl stood tangled within the wall. Small and sleepy, one side of her ached to curl up in the leaves and let them whisper tendrils of mist into her body for as long as she lived. She could be another lifeless par…[Read more]

@rae

No problem at all, all of those things are fine. Also my characters change all the time, seems to be a product of roleplaying and testing things out.

Aw, the special little Sebster Gangster

😛

@rae

Just realized I should explain what I’m doing in the roleplay. I mentioned it to Loops and forgot to say it here! The labyrinth is in the process of transforming Barnes in a specific way. If Gabriel passes by where she was swallowed by the labyrinth, I’m sure it will spit her back out and they can reunite.

@liberty @rae @elishavet-pidyon

I’m on JWM too! 🤭

@rae

I’m here! I finally put aside my project and here we are

Barnes

Since the hour before, after the deal with the imp, Barnes had lost her way again.

The longer she walked, the worse the vines became. They crept around her ankles and stockings, sometimes scratching her with thorns. Circling back to the silver clearing was literally…[Read more]
