“Hm.” Lucy was still thinking about Gabriel’s previous words. Maybe their homes were near each other; after all, Lucy couldn’t leave her city either. “I… No. Didn’t see anything.

Lucille

“That’s nicer than being called Fifth at your christening.” Lucy glanced at him. “That’s my ma’s name too. Gabriella, I mean. It’s the prettiest name I know.”

After he was sure the floor was steady, the Protector gave Lucy one of his blades again. Lucy held it with the tip pointing down, but it glowed enough to illuminate their path. The walls swelled from years of shifting earth; dark solidified soil cracked through the plaster. Where the wall was unbroken, someone had decorated it with…[Read more]

There was another door ahead; gray, with wooden panels, it was the kind of door that hid along an equally gray wall in a sagging house.

“I want to know why it’s here.” Lucy got up and, after some thought, played a descending scale.

The floor creaked. As Lucy played, the room shifted like a ship at sea, and when she looked at the…[Read more]

Lucy had to choke down a snort. She took the piano lid and pulled. It was heavy but had no hinges. It fell off with a thunderous boom. She scampered back, lost her balance, and sat down suddenly. Dust rose and she let out two sharp sneezes.

Oh cool! I love all of these!!!

MIN!! you have a Tauren too!!!??

@rae thank you! My dad said the same so it looks like this is a keeper!

My prose is weird lol. I kept it in my style (sorta like my fanfic) but I also wanted to inject a bit of the style from books I like.

@rae

BAhaha XD

I think it’s safe to say this is a weird place and there can be weird random objects scattered within. Maybe that says something about the labyrinth masters, not so much the piano itself.

@rae

Lucille

“You’ve…” Lucy trailed off, brow furrowing. She clacked her fingers over the keys and tried to play a folk song, but only knew a few seconds of it.

@rae

Lucille

“Dunno why they’d put a piano in here. I wonder who they are.” Lucy couldn’t tell if they had returned to ground level – after taking the door that led into earth – or if they were in the labyrinth’s basement. The floor had sloped slightly as they walked, sometimes up and sometimes down. Even here, her internal compass was…[Read more]

Lucy bent her right arm and flexed, her confidence incidentally boosted. “Mm-hm. Good.”

Short reply because I figured Gabriel will lead us on

Yeah, big-sibling little-kid energy but also mentor-follower. Lu doesn’t have siblings either and she’s mentally associating this with adults she knows. If she becomes Barnes again,…[Read more]

@rae Yesssss hehe

@theducktator I know lol, but that’s not as funny

@rae

Thank you! ♥️ It seems I felt well enough to write something just now, haha. Energy when you’re ill is so inconsistent.

@rae

I dare you to change your pfp to one of these

The darkness was warm and comfortable in comparison to the outdoors, where they had wandered in the clammy mist for so long. Protector’s blades glowed like light through rose-colored glass. He turned them over in his hands and his hair lit up, twice as red, almost artificial.

His question finally registered. Lucy shrugged. She h…[Read more]

@rae I didn’t even know you could make a name that long

Lucille

The tower’s door had a warped surface and a handle. Lucy tugged. When that didn’t work, she slipped both her arms through the handle and put her feet on the frame for leverage. She was young, but she was a warden’s daughter, and she would force this if her life depended on it.

Her arms whitened, fit to break from the press…[Read more]

@rae

Of course! And I understand hating your own writing. I was looking at my old roleplays a bit ago and they hurt my brain.

Also, I really, really love your descriptions.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to describe things thoroughly even though it’s tedious at times. Cuz afterwards I’m glad to have done it.

@rae

Hmm. That is an interesting method. Does actually sound better than what I’m used to.

@theducktator

Wait, you too? Do you mean like a kind of cranberry jelly salad?
