Little fire.

The Protector — Gabriel Mai 

At the kick, Gabriel’s loosened mask slipped down to around his neck, hanging by its scarlet ribbon. He immediately turned the left side of his face away, and the strange voices that had haunted him grew louder, he could almost hear what they were saying through their gargled screeching so…[Read more]

@loopylin

My concern is tempered by the fact that most people in this story get stabbed. 🤣 And you’re right, he can’t have perfect HP all the time if he’s a chaotic good character.

@loopylin

His vision cleared, and he looked down to see the large gash in his side from Ace’s knife.

Noooo, what happened?? He deserves a lot of things but he doesn’t deserve to die

@loopylin

If Marcel was the other team captain, I think the other team would have to target him. 😂 He’d love that, go right ahead

@rae

Lucille

He sounded exactly like the far field workers who were sent to asylums.

“You’re crazy,” Lucy whispered.

She turned inward, so her knees pressed against his chest, and kicked hard. The man grunted and loosened his grip, just enough for Lucy to roll out and onto the ground.

Air burst from her lungs and she gasped for breath. The g…[Read more]

I’ll join PE in a little bit!

I know our group of boys is there already but this class includes all the high schoolers, right? Marcel would be a fun character in PE by nature

@loopylin

Rory 

He didn’t mind blood. He’d be raised seeing it. He took the kid’s arm and turned it slightly. “This isn’t too bad.” We need some water and clean bandages. Know where I could find those?” He was feeling much calmer now that he had something to do that he knew and understood.

@whalekeeper

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

Gabriel watched the child, puzzled. How could she be wearing the same clothes as Barnes, yet not know her? The clothes even smelled the same to him. And how had she looked like an older woman earlier to him. His head throbbed with questions, but he was pulled from his thoughts when he felt Lucy’s b…[Read more]

@loopylin

ouch. Lol, that’s true tho. But the poor kid’s still traumatized. 😂

Rory

“Uh… no… I don’t know. I was a student, but then the Agents tried to kill me, so now I work with Leo.” He was looking at the blood and taking in the wounds. “Here, let me fix that up.” He reached out and then paused with a questioning look, waiting for permi…[Read more]

Lucille

Lucy wiped her nose and crossed her arms again. “I d… hm, don’t know who that is. Barn. A barn?”

All around her, the foliage was dark and unfamiliar. None of it looked like home. She began to pant, a sense of dread building.

@rae

My goodness, she’s such a cute child!

Glad you like her! I love Lu from the beginning to the end of her timeline. Even if a nine-year-old isn’t a super complicated character lol

lol, I’d like to see that.

It might happen anyway

About the voices, that’s the maze messing with Gabriel. I shall develop it later on.

Ah, I shall keep that in mind…[Read more]

@theducktator

yeah, that could work. I just steer clear altogether, but that’s just personal. I mean, I own one of his books and I plan on keeping it…. but I bought it before he started going off the deep end.

@ellette-giselle

I won’t buy any of his books new for that reason. I use the library or a used bookstore.

@theducktator

When an author does that I quit. I don’t care how good the old books were, I refuse to support them.

@loopylin

Ooo fun!

lol, now you just triggered Rory…..

Rory

He had been walking down the hall on his own. After working some time with Leo, he was feeling confidant enough to do a little exploring while the older boy was working.

He had just come around the corner when there, before him, was the strangest boy he had ever seen. The first…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Fair enough. I’m very annoyed at his recent turn to wokeness.

@loopylin

It’ll be a couple days before I reply. I’m sick…:(

@whalekeeper

My goodness, she’s such a cute child!

It took all the willpower in her not to jolt upright and crack the man’s chin.

lol, I’d like to see that.

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

“Lucy…What a strange name. It sounds like the name of some yellow flower.”

A vine shifted, and Gabriel tensed, glaring at it behind his mask. His ear twi…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

lol, I wasn’t meaning the silksong ending as much as the ending to book series that you compared it to. The ending where the MC dies.

Ah, yes. 😂 MC deaths are a hit-or-miss but the emotions were similar to when the trope works. Maybe because I was afraid for her death.

Part of me is picturing a little girl pout, but she’s too frightened for that
