Scoutillus Finch

@whalekeeper Sure that sounds great! I will probably have the same goal as before. And don’t worry about the long break. I think we both needed it, or at least I did. What’s your word count goal?

@whalekeeper @keilah-h @rae

I vote we do 17 sometime soon because that sounds like it could give Mel a rest, but anything is good with me. Or we could combine them.

Mel

Mel sniffled a bit, staring at the ground in embarrassment. She shuffled her feet and then looked up at Lucy again, about to say something else, when she suddenly stopped. She…[Read more]

For funsies and to keep the lore consistent

Rallascant

“…I’ll try to help as I can.”

Rallascant’s rabbit ears perked up as he heard the cursed word. Technically, he was there already. Summoned. He was under no obligation to actually show himself. He sniffed at the air and then dug up another dandelion root to nibble on. He watched things unf…[Read more]

Not that we need this at the moment, but here’s some possible future conflict ideas because I’m in a brainstormy mood.

1. The group finds Mel’s door back home and they realize it won’t help anyone else get home except her (Mel and Lucy still think they’re from the same world)
2. The group finds the giant’s garden
3. The basilisk goes hunting again

Mel
Mel stopped trying to hold it in and cried quietly into Lucy’s shoulder. She couldn’t tell if the grown-ups had obeyed Lucy’s command to close their eyes, but she felt comforted by the idea. Lucy squeezed a bit tighter. This was better than stinky crow feathers.
After a couple minutes which felt much longer, her…[Read more]

It’s probably a good thing that Rallascant doesn’t actually know what guns are

Then Alpha and Emmie (again, ignore the hands)

His hair slicked back. I did the coloring with colored pencils. I used to love colored pencils, now I’m not such a fan. The Alcohol markers are the win for me.

BARON ART!!!!!

Just a quick sketch of him in a suit (ignore the hand)

@loopylin

Gabriel’s response is just as funny as I thought it would be lol

I’m glad he didn’t disappoint XD.

The poor boi, he’s trying. He’s trying so hard, but he’d feel more comfortable in the middle of a knitting group than here lol.

Were all little girls so confusing? How can you break down and not know why?

Gabriel’s response is just as funny as I thought it would be lol

@loopylin @keilah-h @whalekeeper

Gabriel

He didn’t show it on his face, but Gabriel was both stumped and upset that he couldn’t figure out what was bothering Mel. Were all little girls so confusing? How can you break down and not know why? Last time Lucy seemed emotionally overwhelmed she wanted to be alone, but then she got taken away. He…[Read more]

@keilah-h I’m so sorry she’s not paying attention. I love reading the backstory/worldbuilding stuff, but Mel is a very tired and overwhelmed neurodivergent seven year old who doesn’t know what to do atm. She would find it so cool any other time. @whalekeeper @rae I promise I’m not trying to write a dramatic scene, lol. She’s just a tired kid.…[Read more]

I’m gonna hop in here.

@whalekeeper @loopylin @keilah-h

Gabriel

He didn’t know what to think of Mel, he was never around children very often before. He still couldn’t figure out Lucy most the time, what about Mel? Was she like Lucy? What would he do with two rash girls with little self-preservation skills? He hoped she wouldn’t wander off, or…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ellis

Ellis smiled at Remington, using his nice smile instead of his natural one, which was all crooked to one side.

“Pleased to meet you. And you as well… Callum? I think I heard?”

The boy made a sound that could have meant anything. Ellis took it as confirmation.

“I think you could use some fresh air. Should we step out…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Wren

“No, you’re fine. It’s- that’s helpful.” Wren looked at him for a moment, lost in thought, before suddenly giving a start and opening her notebook. She scratched a few things down in shorthand.

“Do you, uh, have names? Of the people involved? Were’s the student who was targeted by the kidnappers? Is he doing alright…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ellis

Ellis returned the bow as best he could without letting go of Callum’s arm. He didn’t yet trust him to stand on his own.

“Prince Ellis Lysander Stormwatcher of Sinulon. And you?”

@whalekeeper

Ellis Stormwatcher 

Ellis exited the dining hall, his spirits and head held high. The food had been excellent, legendary even, and he had talked and laughed with a great group of boys his age. As he walked, reciting off his new friends’ names in his head to remember them, he nearly tripped over a book. He recovered his balance an…[Read more]
