I totally vibe with you guys!

I started writing a short story for this prompt for funzies (obviously I won’t enter it) and I just got it set up for my charrie to describe what happened and I’m at 1,000+! XD

Why I rarely write 500 word short stories!

As long as your story is between 500 and 10,000 words, and is…[Read more]

Baron (Brutus)—with Ben Gunn, Flare, Leon, and Julian, Everstrand edge

Reflecting off of the daggar, Brutus’s gaze flicked to Ben. “I thought you were an assassin.” He tilted the blade again, this time back to Leon. “I thought you were someone I know. That’s all it was.”

Oh dear…more rps to read…

@raxforge

That’s nothing. I was gone for only three hours earlier and there were four more pages when I got back.

@hybridlore

Eh, it is a bit vague, but what I’ve sort have been imagining is that a Voice has to be a melody line of some sort to generate a String. The individual movement of the music is what allows the String to move, and the notes of a chord are kind of locked together in a way that doesn’t allow that. It makes sense in my head, but maybe i…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I don’t know much about harps, although from what I understand, they seem like the closest thing to a piano in the string family, so, yeah, they should be pretty good. Guitars are good at chords, which since they consist of multiple notes should technically mean that it manifests multiple Strings, but I may want to treat chords a bit…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Thanks!

Yeah, I don’t know violin very well, but I have heard that. (I’ve also heard it can do three but that it would be even harder.) However, Ilahna actually hasn’t used her violin yet. As a quirk of the magic system, she literally has more than one voice, so she’s actually singing four parts at once. The exact number of Voi…[Read more]

Okay, I updated the chapter. Let’s see what you think now.

Chapter the 22nd – The Coward

@jonas

Jirah and Rosemary (Elderstrand)

Rosemary quickly turned towards Rina “What do you mean ‘where is here?’ How do you not know where you are? Are you DRUNK?!” She said in an annoyed tone. “We are in Latternking how do you not know that.” Jirah piped in.

“We were sent here to form an alliance with this kingdom, come to think of it… These…[Read more]

Rina —— (Elderstrand)

Rina furrowed her brow as the two began to bicker. Her sword slowly degraded into fragments, which fell to the ground.

“Seriously, what’s going on here?” she repeated. “And as a matter of fact, where is here?”

@loopylin @whalekeeper @hybridlore

Ellis —— (Edge of Deepwild)

They’re hopefully not robbers? Soulmight repeated. Wouldn’t she know?

Ellis, as usual ignored the sword. “Good,” Ellis said, waiting for the owners of the voices to appear. “So, am I.”

Why is it quit now?

@ellette-giselle

Hmm… Stripe jumps on Tyn and is preoccupied with that fight? (Though it probably would not last longer than 2 seconds…) Rour attempts to debate with Stripe, saying his quaral is only with Alan and any who stand in the way (Which is why he arrested Martha)? He may be asking to leave peacefully with Alan and Tyn, promising to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

A week passed.

This feels a little odd right at the start of the book. I can see why you’re doing this, you’re trying to show us how over time he is adjusting, so I wouldn’t say it is a bad thing. It just feels unusual.

Joseph looked away. After a few minutes he heard Joseph’s voice in the kitchen. Sabina said something, and t…

@ellette-giselle

YIKES! You changed your pic!

He he!

Anyhow, I don’t know why I even brought that up. I guess because it gives me recoil whenever I see it.

That’s fair. I feel the same way about ‘you do you’.

I’m trying to rework Chapter the 22nd like you suggested, but am a little stuck on what to do with Stripe. With Alan down, he would p…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Very well, continue.

@ellette-giselle

No. I only do that once…..? But I really, really needed that scene to set Sabina’s stage, and there really wasn’t another way to get that scene, because she wouldn’t have broken down like that in front of Joseph. I want to drive the point that he is not he only one hurting. She just watched her fiance die on their wedding day. Sh…

Rosemary and Jirah.

Jirah stopped running up the wall and slowly lowered Rosemary to the ground before jumping off himself. “Uh, hey… Thanks for saving us and all, but please don’t tell anyone what we were doing!” Jirah told Rina. “Do not worry on bit Jirah. I can help.” Rosemary began writing the word forget, but Jirah quickly stopped…[Read more]

It’s only evil if someone uses it for evil (and how, exactly, do you do that with Legos, may I ask? Lol)

You leave them on a well traveled floor.

Ilahna —– (Border between Deepwild and Elderstrand)

Finally, Ilahna found the edge of the forest. Unfortunately, it was marked by a high wall. She stopped humming and let her Strings collapse. She looked up, examining the wall. It was about 50 feet high. She could probably make it.

She began a new melody, manifesting…[Read more]
