Awwww, he’s so cute!

@the_lost-journal

(Then again, we might have different time zones XD idk!)

yup. 11pm pacific time

@rae Aww those are so cutee

@the_lost-journal @rae

Here. I’m waiting for Rae before writing more.

Barnes

Barnes listened to the new version of Cassius for long enough to get the gist of what he wanted. She held out a small pen. “I am Barnes, a person you’ve met before, and this is a labyrinth. Write this on your arm, it might help.”

@rae @the_lost-journal

Sorry for the delay, I’m on a car ride and we almost had to be towed.

Barnes

There was no knowing how many other creatures they would encounter along the way. On top of creatures, there could be obstacles of other kinds. The beauty of the place took off the edge, but that was more for the eyes and less for the…[Read more]

Barnes

“Just into the side, not too deep.”

He did what she asked. Barnes reached in again, then stood up and pulled out a handkerchief to better clean off her hands. She let out a sigh, which sounded more like whistle through the mask. “I’m wondering how long this labyrinth is. Do you have a taste for deep-fried cat?”

@rae @the_lost-journal

Barnes

Barnes stuck her hand into the beast’s mouth, and the other stranger gasped. It was still warm and soft in a moist sort of way. Feeling around for some time, she eventually pulled her arm out and wiped it on the grass.

It probably was not venomous because the teeth felt more feline than reptilian. Death…[Read more]

@rae @the_lost-journal

Barnes

Barnes stepped out and pulled Cassius out as well, not unkindly. “Cassius, you shouldn’t cut your tongue out. I was in fact suggesting that you try and keep your head.”

The boy seemed to be confused by this, but did not reply right away. He was too busy staring at the dead creature and at the newcomers.

The beast…[Read more]

Barnes

Barnes blinked a couple times before chuckling. “Okay. We’re… not going to question the pity party.”

Something moved in the shadows. A gentle movement, without the sound of birds or leaves.

Barnes paused where she was, alert. She gazed through the cascading vines, their tangles filled to the brim with darker…[Read more]

@rae

Yeppers peppers, it was Tenz.

@rae

Nah, it was the kid with the twin brother. I can’t believe I’m drawing a blank.

@rae

Even now, his voice dropped that older, measured tone, sounding more like the voice of a boy who only became a man but a year ago. ”

As quickly as it had started, it ended. The Protector cleared his throat, and the old tone returned, immediately making him sound much older.

Lol that’s what your other character does, the one in the Castle R…[Read more]

@rae

Oh, and eating spaghetti (or attempting to) when you hand can’t even grip the fork right without hurting a lot is quite the experience. Do not recommend.

Oh nooo XD

@rae

Yeah ikr! It’s honestly so insane. And American healthcare isn’t the best at sorting that kind of stuff out in my experience.

Thank you so much < 3

@rae @the_lost-journal @loopylin @whoever-else-is-in-the-rp

I’m going for it. Here’s hoping my character won’t kill me.

also, this is the first RP I’ve been in to have the characters as they appear in the Valve Galactic Trilogy (yep, I found a name for the universe: the game company that created the three games the story’s based off of, and…[Read more]

@rae

That’s impressive. I’d never be able to do that.

Don’t even remember how I did it lol, I guess it just clicked in my brain.

Agreed. I remember I had a youth group thing called Olympians every Wednesday night at our old Church, and I was six when I started it. All my homeschooled friends didn’t have much trouble reading (I still strug…

@rae

Yeah Ikr! Unfortunately there aren’t enough doctors in my area so some kinds of healthcare are simply not available. For instance, my sister has been told she likely has ehlers danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that effects all parts of the body’s function. It’s supposed to be diagnosed by a rheumatologist but because there is a…[Read more]

@rae

Thanks girl, I’ll pray for you too < 3

Ouch that doesn’t sound like fun. Yeah I’ve heard of that, my cousin has chronic Epstein bar virus and it comes back sometimes. It’s exhausting when stuff you thought you were done with still lingers… ugh. I tested positive for Lyme last fall but the doctor didn’t feel confident treating me, and now…[Read more]

@rae @the_lost-journal I think I got a little lost. Did your characters enter the maze yet?

@keilah-h XD  I have a hard enough time picking my own characters. Maybe one of your female characters?

@rae

You okay? I hope it’s nothing too serious 🙁

Not really tbh. This is the sickest I’ve been in 7 years of chronic illness and this has been one of the hardest years yet. I went to a new doctor at the recommendation of my mom and he messed up my health, I’ve been in a slight migraine state for almost 2 months since his treatment. I learned not t…[Read more]

@rae yeah. Also, i taught myself how to read, so the exeperience of someone teaching you in unfamiliar to me.

(The tutoring was more for math and general thinking skills. He calls it “brain training.” But he has a lot of books in his office on the subject of how to properly teach reading, since many school curriculums don’t quite hit the mark,…[Read more]
