Aww Gabriel! You know both girls would be so eager to teach you or read out loud to you if they knew <3

Mel

“You can borrow some of mine if you want!” Mel pushed a pile of comic books across the floor towards Lucy. She looked happily around at all her new friends. Then she giggled. “Mom and Dad are gonna be so surprised when they come home and see you guys.”

Lucille

Lucy stared at everything. Mel’s home didn’t look anything like hers, but most of the objects had some familiarity to them. They looked almost normal but made with weird shapes, colors, or with parts Lucy didn’t recognize. The television didn’t even look like a television – it was just a black square. State-of-the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @rae

Sniper

Mel handed three cheese sticks to Soldier, who ate ’em as ravenously as he did the first. She pointed out the various furnishings; I held back a chuckle as I realized she probably thought we weren’t familiar with all of it. (I don’t know…[Read more]

We can do some weird stuff in that rp, and I’m here for it!

Yeah I’m thinking about it! The other option is also fun because it would cause Gabriel severe emotional damage as well.

Honestly, that’d be a pairing I’d approve of!

Maybe they will meet in another roleplay some day.

Does she know about sirens?

She’s not much of a fantasy reade…[Read more]

Mel

Mel giggled. “You guys are all eating them wrong.”

She handed Lucy a cheese stick, and then Soldier three more. Then she held her own cheese stick up in the air like a baton.

“Tour time! Come on.”

She began wandering around the kitchen and living room, pointing out various things she considered importa…[Read more]

Huh. Interesting.

Guess away and win a prize. But only if you don’t know what it is already.

I’d imagine she would have come along in the RP as well by now if he had met her, in the form of his internal thoughts wondering if she was okay.

This is sometimes a limitation – choosing where they are in their own story when you por…[Read more]

*Lu runs away screaming bloody murder*

Why did I laugh so hard at that

@rae Sniper would be like “wait, you LET your girl do this to you???” bro would be halfway across the planet by now if someone tried to make him do that (Huntress probably wouldn’t have such an idea on her own, but if she and Scout were together and scheming…[Read more]

I have some time to decide, as in my head Gabriel refers to her as “Bwerdy” or “Birdie” right now.

Aww. That’s slightly similar to Lu’s pet nickname, which somehow hasn’t appeared in the rp yet. I’d give you a free drawing if you could guess it, but I doubt you could. XD

She isn’t going to be exactly like Lucy, by any means (especially appea…

I don’t hate mozzarella (I actually kinda like it) but that is a very accurate description of a cheese stick. I don’t like my cheese too slimy, luckily cheese sticks aren’t usually like that (at least not the brand my mom buys) but fresh mozzarella used on pizza typically is so I hold off on eating that until it’s shredded and the outer…[Read more]

Soldier

“Do you guys want a cheese stick?” Mel asked.

I stopped looking through a stack of paper on the table (it was a boring stack of paper anyway) and looked up. “Cheese stick?” I repeated. “Where?”

She gently pressed one into my palm. I bit it in half. Delicious. All too soon it was gone.

I shoved through the…[Read more]

Mel

The kitchen was small, with vinyl flooring and fake marble countertops. It was connected to the living room by a large doorway. In the living room was a couch, an armchair, a bookshelf, and a tv. Toys and comic books were scattered around on the carpet. Some were forced into the living room as the group crowded…[Read more]

KP no longer tags me, so I just have to think of checking.

I LOVE THAT IDEA!!! You could make that scene SO COOL!

in the end I decided not to bring it up lol

@loopylin @rae

Huntress

“Can we g…[Read more]

Did that leave you with more questions or answer some?

That answers enough questions. Although I guess I have one more. Is all this worldbuilding and character stuff new? I’m curious to know how the novella is coming along, what with this recent disclosing of information.

@loopylin @keilah-h

Yeah, it’s cool how many different ways the…[Read more]

Lucille

Lucy started, looking from Mel to the door. It had changed without the rest of them noticing. The stains of mud on the door made it look as if it belonged outside, pulled from a backyard or a porch.

Food sounded good. Lucy’s heart felt tired, in a good way, but that meant her body was tired too. She was a l…[Read more]

Wait, what scene is this? Is this a scene where he almost dies in the middle of the story, or is this the end of his story?

What?! I wanna know!

I was going to say if it was his ending and you decided to bring him back, maybe he loses his connection to the wind permanently and that’s his punishment rather than dying. But idk if that…[Read more]

Yes, me literally killing Baron isn’t very cool, but the realization about the Elementals that resulted from it is cool!

I can see what you’re saying. It’s fun to come up with specific details, and have them seamlessly click in your head like that.

I do believe you’re just mentioning the chest compressions to pacify me, though.

Oh. Actuall…[Read more]

So maybe we – the labyrinth people – helped you realize Gabriel should be an older brother? :-p

Thank you! You probably know what it’s like to have a character who keeps stealing your attention. This little guy is my attention thief right now.

Little tangent to the conversation. I’m not sure if you’ve seen this new character art, since you’re not on the royal rp. And this is the art topic. So I’ll share! :]

This is the Moth Prince. He’s my fav and I’ve enjoyed writing about him recently. By recent, I mean the past six months or so.

If any of my guy charries were to be mistaken for a girl, honestly it’d be Baron rn. He’s very slender, and when his hair is long, it’s absolutely gorgeous!

I can see that. It’s funny to sometimes realize that a character is androgynous from someone else’s perspective. I have a few who are rather androgynous, but that’s because I have a bad…[Read more]

In the early concepts of Gabriel’s story, the news reported that they thought the new Protector was a girl…Gabriel, upon hearing this, was positively both offended and amused.

Maybe the Protector role will be passed down to a girl someday, so I can see why people would speculate about that. But that probably made Gabriel question his app…[Read more]

After all, the life of a Protector can be a lonely one as you aren’t supposed to let many people close.

What is the reason for this?

Gabriel: “Yes. She loves me.” *He pauses, seeming to remember something and looks away slightly as if embarrased.*

Lucy: *Supportive, curious, and disgusted at the same time* *Doesn’t know what else to say* *G…[Read more]

Cool little thing.

That’s… cool. Yeah, very cool. SO cool. 😐

Girl, I don’t think you know what the word cool means.

*Grabs Baron, ties an evacuation label around his neck, stuffs him into a train, and sends him a thousand miles away from your WIP*

also the adhd bit makes me think of how we decided that Scout canonically has adhd lolllll

wind charmer Jeremy would certainly be something but it actually really fits him tbh

Mellissa

“Can we go to the kitchen now? I’m hungry.” Mel pointed to the door that they had come in from, but it had now changed. It was wooden, and had sun bleached paint that was starting to peel. The bottom had an unused cat door and a few splashes of dried mud from the rain. Mel recognized it. It was the door into…[Read more]

Your thoughts make sense, don’t worry.

Instead of just fighting them like a soldier would, a Protector is meant to learn every type of monster, every strategy, every venom, every poison, every antidote. They are meant to study behaviors and take notes on them.  All in hopes of not only saving lives, but finding a way to stop the monsters fo…

[Read more]

LOL hearing the slang in Lucy’s world from her is cute.

😛 Many of the people living around Lucy are young men who work in the factories or the fields, and she sometimes talks with them when they’re in the soup kitchens. I still haven’t decided how different the Outer Fields teenage culture is from the more populated city areas…[Read more]

Not to mention he’s been abused by the people of his own home that he’s more willing to trust a complete stranger not from the island than a villager from it.

Yeah that makes sense.

Why can’t Gabriel leave the island? Are there crazy storms that make it impossible to sail away? Or is it the demon monsters that get in the way?

It’s a fun coi…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon aw I love that description thank you

Also, @rae happy birthday!! I saw your post on unvale. Hope you have a splendiferous time celebrating:]

Lucy: *Looks at Lillian with suspicion* *Looks at Gabriel* “…She’s a fish.”

LOLLLLL

my characters would probably not even find it weird, I mean Huntress is a mostly-humanoid and Sniper’s half-crocodile. Soldier is a bird-like creature and his wife is a bear-like one–and they have two cute-but-probably-mutant childre…[Read more]

Happy birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!! 🎉

Happy birthday!! Congrats on living this long!

(Perhaps that is a weird thing to congratulate someone for. No matter.)

This is why I call him oblivious.

Ah. That explains it.

(Lucy’s reaction to such an episode would be interesting, as she would completely break or try to keep him together. I can see it going either way personally.)

I’m n…[Read more]

Oh that one’s really cool!

I can never do myself. I can’t get my brain to ignore the oddity of drawing myself. XD I can’t believe how good you are though!

@anyonewholikesthesecharactersidk

also Lillian sounds super cool! Species and culture breakdowns are fun, I’m totally up for reading about her kind!

Nice art!! And yes, I love that one with Gabriel. It might be my favorite thing you’ve made

A quick doodle of Baron trying to get back pain at a young age XD

Baron and I have at least one thing in common, then XD

Wait. Wasn’t there a girl named Isabella in Gabriel’s story? I thought they were a thing for some reason. She seemed to really…[Read more]

I really like the last one! And what you said about it! XD

@whalekeeper he does lol, it’s canonical to the fandom i took his lore from and I thought it was too funny to change

@loopylin

Huntress

Lucy explained the insect’s scientific name. “If you think it looks like a… another species, you can, e…[Read more]

This was so much fun!

On further thought, I never went back and verified his age. Lol. He’s probably a little older in the RP. It’s awkward because the series followed this whole group of young people as they grew up, so he is several ages.

who’s room should we do next?

Mel

“I’ll call him Paul… Junior.”  Mel fumbled around with the pin for a moment, trying to put it on without letting go of Gabriel’s hand. Eventually she gave up and put it in her pocket.

The fact that Soldier has kids is what sends me.

Lucille

“Its name is Gryllus rubens,” Lucy explained. “Or Gryllus texensis. But… that’s just what I was trying to make. If you think it looks like a… another species, you can, er… call it anything you want.”

@rae @loopylin

Sniper

I looked down at the little object in my hand. It was shaped like an insect, maybe a cricket of some sort.

“They’re pins. You put them on your clothes.” Lucy explained. “They’re gifts, because I think you are all… satisfactory.”

I stared at it for a second, tryna figure out what she mea…[Read more]

Lucille

As the adults checked on sleepy Mel, Lucy had an idea. She wandered over to her desk – a small, ash-colored piece of furniture with all of her papers and her typewriter stacked on the side. It was much neater in comparison with the mess underneath it.

A part of her wanted to sit down and do her homework; do…[Read more]

Also Lucy and Mel, if you two keep this up, Gabriel’s going to go full dad.

Poor guy isn’t going to want to leave the labyrinth. Or help Lucy magically grow up again. Or… idk, he just won’t like it if he can’t keep an eye on these girls.

Oh thank yoouu!!! <3 They’re my favorite little guys at the moment. The middle one is the only one in an rp, so most of KP doesn’t know who they are, but I can still post art. :]
