Barnes

Barnes backed off from the vines and glanced back at Gabriel, her bangs falling lightly over her mask. “Why do you want to know?”

@hybridlore @rae

Thank you. I feel like I’m going to instinctively tear the thing out and hightail it for the hills. XD

Barnes

Barnes looked between the Protector, who carried an undercurrent of scorn, and the screaming Arnan and Leander. She took a step forward between them and studied the lingering ash on her fingers as she spoke. “Leander, this man said he was not going to kill or torture Arnan. On the contrary, he said he wanted to do…[Read more]

@grcr

OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!

So good!!!

@loopylin

AHHH!!! I love him! He actually looks almost sweet in that picture. 🤣

@rae

DO IT! DO IT!

Barnes

Barnes, still bent over the hole, looked up. “Arnan! Stay with us.”

@the_lost-journal @rae
Barnes

Barnes picked up the driest branch of leaves she could find and pulled out her cigarette lighter. “Back off a moment.”

She lit the branch and waited until the entire clump of leaves was licking with fire. She stuck it into the hole and stuck her foot in as well to press into the plant flesh.

Where the fire touched,…[Read more]

@rae

Awwww, he’s so cute!

@the_lost-journal

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

@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]

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]
