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]

@rae

I vaguely remember that. This new scene is really cute; although it might be a little confusing for casual readers. As a person who knows a lot about phonemes and stuff cause of my very meticulous tutor, I get it, but I don’t know if all the letter sounds and stuff will confuse people.

I forgot tagsss

@rae @the_lost-journal @whalekeeper @highscribeofaetherium @theducktator ^^^

@rae

I have seen some stuff. It looks like it has a cool concept to it

I’ve thought about watching it just to know what the hype is about.

and from there I gathered that kitsune are fox creatures from Japanese mythology, hence why kitsune masks always have ears.

I found that out from Godly because she said one of her characters was inspired by…[Read more]

@rae

(Barnes always peaks my interest, but now more than ever, which is saying something.)

Aw, if she was aware of this conversation on a break-the-fourth-wall level, she would be mildly flattered.

Gabriel will most certainly pry into that one…

😐 Oh no, flight instinct initiated.

@rae
Yeah it would be interesting. They definitely have different lore, though. Barnes has… maybe four different reasons for wearing her mask? Five? Oh goodness, I’ve never thought about that before but it’s true. And only one reason is remotely similar to Gabriel’s reason.

@rae

Boom, I knew you were inspired by anime! I know very little about Kitsune or anime besides the classic Ghibli. XD And I can’t remember where I got the mask idea myself; it was probably just a product of deciding what my character would wear. Do you watch Demon Slayer?
