For the first time, Lucy’s face flushed. Gabriel knew she was young, but he didn’t know that while she was a good silent reader, she did not read aloud to people. She put the book on the table and squinted in the candlelight. She stuttered but got through it.

Sorry about the wait! I spent the afternoon whisking masa, cooking meat, burning my hand on a kettle, etc. Lots of cooking. And I felt I should update the school roleplay first if I had free time.

Make something up

Alright! I had an idea, just give me two shakes

@rae

Is there something you want the book to lead up to, or should I make something up?

Lucy picked up one of the candles. She tried blowing it out, then brought it to her nose and sniffed it curiously. It didn’t smell like anything. But it could be useful if they brought it with them.

On the one hand, the room disquieted both of them, but at least every element was familiar. Lucy even recognized the crochet pattern i…[Read more]

Should I add Chase to our merry little band?

You can do that if you want! As long as you can handle the two of them lol

@rae

Plus Tenz has healing abilities, and that may be needed the way this rp is going.

*British sniff.* I take offense.

😂

@rae looks great!!

@rae yeah, a bit now that you point it out. Wouldn’t have noticed that on my own, though.

@rae Nice! Some good ol’ angst art. His proportions and hair look really good!

“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.

“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.

“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]
