Stepheroni and Cheese

I may introduce another character later, but here’s Ayla: Ayla is 15 years old, 5′ 7”, with long straight dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a dark cloak, which she wears in the hope that it makes her look mysterious. She is usually carrying a notebook and a pencil, as well as whatever she’s currently reading.

I think it’s fine to keep them. The names are uncommon enough that it’s not very noticeable. I named a guy Emerald once before realizing it’s typically a girl’s name, and I kept it.

No, ducks are the best birds, Lucille.

In all honesty though, pigeons are neat.

Now I’m stuck thinking about the differences between the book labyrinth from Goblet of Fire and the movie labyrinth.

Barnes

“Just into the side, not too deep.”

He did what she asked. Barnes reached in again, then stood up and pulled out a handkerchief to better clean off her hands. She let out a sigh, which sounded more like whistle through the mask. “I’m wondering how long this labyrinth is. Do you have a taste for deep-fried cat?”

Barnes

Barnes stuck her hand into the beast’s mouth, and the other stranger gasped. It was still warm and soft in a moist sort of way. Feeling around for some time, she eventually pulled her arm out and wiped it on the grass.

It probably was not venomous because the teeth felt more feline than reptilian. Death…[Read more]

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]

These character memes won’t be understood, I know. But I can’t just let them float away into oblivion in my folders. Someone must know the glory of my memery, even of the context has been lost to the winds.

I will add a character or two tomorrow.

Barnes

Barnes bent down and picked Cassius back up with a steady arm. She almost criticized the damp patch on his shirt from the wet earth, but thought better of it. “I’m not like your brother. It’s hard to explain.”

She avoided the three questions he had asked. The answers had not formed into words yet, and even then, they…[Read more]

She’d bring the cake that you three would be eating while laughing and watching the world burn 😁

I do like cake… 🤔

I’m glad you’re able to recognize it’s different, bc it really is but it’s still so much more understanding than most people have.

And I’m fine with you drawing the line between our perspectives because mine doesn’t have the same physical pain at all. I mean, I do have some physical problems developing which perhaps cause anxiety, but that’s…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That’s awesome.

Yeppers peppers, it was Tenz.

@mineralizedwritings

It’s really good to know somebody gets at least some of what I’m going through <3

I definitely understand from my perspective as a loved one of the sick person.

There is nothing more frustrating than thinking there is improvement, and backtracking for what seems like a ridiculous or small reason. Small things in the diet, or…[Read more]
