I posted this on Unvale too, but this is Ellie and Eddie for your Secret Friend. I ended up drawing it myself, but I hope you like it

You could draw either, if doing so strikes your fancy.

True, but I am not a dog person so the cat will probably get drawn first. Yes we do have a dog, yes he is fun, but I’d rather most the time cuddle one of our cats.

This was me sleeping with one of my cats when he was a little kitten while I was dealing with all the lymes…[Read more]

Mel

Mel stood herself up and eyed the four adults suspiciously. She wasn’t sure how to feel about the bird man and the crocodile man, and the man Lucy was talking with had a strange mask, sort of like the lady Mel had met before. Suddenly feeling…[Read more]

Lol, I’m glad my on-a-whim writing brought some value to the world in the form of joy. Bit of an update.

The cow heart pieces were eaten by a single coyote who was stalking to deer trails in our woods.

My dad did end up using his giants slingshot to rope a tree we need to take down.

I attempted foraging…[Read more]

Wren

Something about this boy made Wren’s journalist instincts scream that he was hiding something. Everyone had secrets, of course, but she felt that this one may be more interesting. She resisted the urge to pull out her notebook again, knowing that tended to make people more hesitant around her. She found herself wishing f…[Read more]

Wren

She narrowed her eyes at him. “Which military? I thought you were a student.”

Sorry, I wasn’t aware this rp had continued.

Gabriel

The fog seemed to weigh heavily on him now. He hated this place, hated it. He trudged slightly behind the strange companions, the same feelings flooding into him that he had felt before meeting Lucy. With that reminder, an even more unwelcome feeling flood over…

Randal: Clears throat “That is Silver Mountain. A hundred and thirty two years ago, four kings met at the top to form the Confederation of the Silver Swords . . .

Travenor: “That means we are approximately a quarter of the way to our destination…[Read more]

Excellent. This should work

Wren

“Security. Yes,” Wren muttered, sounding dissatisfied. “If my article does what I hope, that should change soon.” She shut her notebook and tucked her pencil into the breast pocket of her shirt. Some hair fell into her face as she looked up again. “Thank you for answering my questions, Mr. A…[Read more]

Gotta say I am loving the LeQroi scenes. Who wouldn’t want glittery sugar boots?

How well hidden is the knife in his boot? Could she potentially notice it while standing up to leave? Sorry I am fighting my own character so hard right now trying to get her to stay XD

Mel

Mel stared up at the strange man a for long time, still leaning on him despite him probably expecting her to straighten herself after he caught her. Her face looked slightly stunned.

“… Crocodile man,” she finally whispered.

Lois

No family at all? Were all fairies like that? Lois glanced sideways at Flax. At least that was better than something bad happening to them. Though now that he considered it, he wasn’t sure if it was better.

“She takes private tutoring. As did I before I came here. She’s very advanced for her age. I have…[Read more]

hehe he’s so Australian. I love how I can hear the accent in his dialogue.

(reminds me of another Australian crocodile…)

Lois

“Yes. My mother and father and baby sister.” The way he had framed the question seemed a bit odd to Lois. “Don’t you have one?” he asked, slightly worried.

Wren

That was what she expected. Up to this point, the answers seemed the same as all the ones she got from other students. But now she had come to her last and biggest question. For the first time in the interview, Wren looked up from her notebook. She looked her interviewee dead in the eye, determined to get an honest…[Read more]

Mel

Mel’s excited laughter turned into a startled shriek as something flew up beside them.

“Hello children!”

Momentarily distracted from the bread, Runt nipped at the bird man’s tail feathers, causing him to scream as well. In the chaos, Mel tried to grab the fishing pole bait from Lucy to steer them away from th…[Read more]

Wren

Wren’s face remained serious and focused as she nodded. She made no noticeable reaction to the ball hitting the bleachers, but did write a full description of the moment down in her notebook in shorthand. She continued with her next question.

“Have you and your classmates been trained by the staff in safety procedures in…[Read more]

still keeping the crow catching his feathers though, that was funny

oh absolutely, lol. I just was going to ignore the Mel laughing part

Lois

“I suppose so.” Lois tilted his head slightly to the side. He hadn’t really thought about it before. “It’s… Well, I don’t have anywhere else to compare it to, do I? I’m content.” He adjusted his glasses and politely asked Moth where he was from in an attempt to keep himself from slipping into a thoughtful silence.

Mel

Mel climbed up without asking Runt’s permission. She found a spot next to his shoulder and held gently onto his feathers. At first the crow was confused, and stumbled around in a circle, trying to spot the little girl. She leaned her head out into his field of vision and he made a playfully surprised squawk.

Lucy climbed up w…[Read more]

2) “It will be rather a bore, I expect. Love and marriage, and all that sort of thing, is rather a necessary nuisance in its way.”

3) “Blistering barnacles!”

I didn’t set you up for much else

Wren

She scribbled this down.

“And in that time, have there been any accidents or emergencies on school campus that you witnessed or were a part of?”

Wren

This last comment got an eyebrow raise from Wren, but she pretended not to be bothered.

“Yes, of course. I won’t even ask your name.”

She uncapped her pen, and flipped to a fresh page in her notebook. She thought for a moment how much easier it would be if she had brought Veronica with her to record, but her helper also…[Read more]

Wren Tallow

Perched at the top of the bleachers carefully watching the whole room with a notepad in hand, sat a young lady. She wore the school uniform shirt with brown pants and a loose knitted sweater. Her wavy brown hair was cut too…[Read more]

I actually forgot about the dance. Lol.

honestly, that’s probably the best way to enjoy this rp at the moment XD

Also, I will try to have something written sometime this week, but I suddenly got hit with a bunch of adult responsibilities all at once recently so it might be a bit, sorry.

Mel

Mel seemed almost hesitant at first as she approached the crow, but as she reached out and touched its beak, a huge grin appeared on her face. She reached farther, petting the feathers on the crow’s neck and made her way to its shoulder, where she giggled and buried her head in its soft feathers. Somehow, the bird allowed this,…[Read more]

I wrote this while half awake and questioning reality so I hope it’s somewhat good.

Mel

Scissors? Mel took her garden shears out of her pocket, confused. They were tiny.

But somehow, they did the trick. Though size was not on their side, they were three against two, and soon, three against one. Mel cheered as the second crow took…[Read more]

I’m actually really excited to write this character. :] She’s new. I can…[Read more]

Thank you!!!

I like it because it makes sense–they don’t want a child ruling their country and it’s something that I haven’t seen a lot of fantasy books incorporate.

I’m still fleshing out how Wadsat connects to all of it. I’m thinking that maybe some Paynes are so poor that they have to sell themselves into slavery to…[Read more]

Would anyone like to continue dodgeball, or can I maybe skip it? I really want to write a scene with the twins.
