”Correct about… what?’ Barnes looked around.

Ignoring her words, Cassius already lay on the ground as he had before. Soon he was quiet and resting peacefully. It was like nothing had happened.

As Leander settled down as well, Barnes stared off into the maze again and tried to tune out. Her fingers twinged at th…[Read more]

“Pardon me for asking – hm.” Barnes hesitated. She absently shook the cigarette box in her pocket. “I’m having trouble understanding the suddenness of this. Wouldn’t you already know this? Have you never thought about your childhood or your father before?”

The Protector—Gabriel

“Relax.” Gabriel adjusted his position, sitting with his legs crossed. “Inhale…hold it…exhale. Calm down your heart rate, it’s distressing you.”

Gabriel avoided Barnes’s question purposefully. What would everyone think if they knew his real age? Maybe they wouldn’t care, or they’d never r…[Read more]

Barnes

Suddenly Cassius burst again. His weight shifted on the ground beside Barnes as he slumped over. His voice trembled.

How was Barnes supposed to react? The kid had made so many random declarations that this one could be just as short-lived.

“If you really are nineteen,” She said slowly, “I’m sorry for you. But you…[Read more]

“You’re too young, and you seem against it anyway.” Barnes noted how Gabriel flinched when the cigarette burned. She put it down and crushed it on the stone. So much for a silent night watch. “How old are each of you?”

The scent of the smoke invaded Gabriel’s nostrils. It sickened him, but he remained silent, listening to Cassius’s talk about pleasure. Internally, he wondered if happiness and pleasure were different, and if they were, how were they different. A small plop sound woke him from his thoughts. H…[Read more]

“…I’m not smoking,” Barnes said. She still held it at arm’s length. “I only lit it for the scent.”

She glanced back at Cassius, then turned back to stare at the labyrinth passageways she guarded. The exposition about pleasure irked her, but she held her tongue. He meant well.

“I don’t care. Whatever you like to do.” Barnes pulled out a box of cigarettes and lit one of them. Instead of taking a draw on it, she held it at a distance from them and let the smell waft through the air. “ Ah. If this bothers you, at least speak then.”

@the_lost-journal @rae

Selfish because she keeps everything to herself XD

Barnes

Cassius and Leander, one after the other, lay down on the moss. Night had not fully fallen yet, and the other adventures in the labyrinth surely still walked around – but both boys seemed tired from the walk. Their emotional outbursts had not helped their energy…[Read more]

The Protector—Gabriel

“Yes, my birthmarks aren’t a mental illness, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t hate me, or judge me. If I was not the Protector, if I didn’t wear the mask, if I didn’t hide the birthmarks, I would have been killed by the people I protect everyday.” Gabriel clears his throat again, v…[Read more]

The Protector—Gabriel

“So it wasn’t a flippant reason after all. That’s surprising.” Gabriel’s voice sounds young again. His hand moves towards his own mask, hesitates, then slightly dislodges it. A small sliver of skin showing a small cluster of strange birthmarks on his jaw, could be seen. He shows them to C…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Cool. I should research bpd and ptsd sometime. I don’t know much about them.

I’m now realizing I can’t think of any of my characters who don’t have any mental thingys, lol. Lois and Liko are probably normal? Idk

@the_lost-journal

Just curious, is Cassius supposed to have DID like some people do irl? Or is it his own unique condition that you made up for your fantasy story?

(sorry if that doesn’t make sense. I was having trouble phrasing it well.)

@the_lost-journal

I figured that was the case – I just phrased it as acting because he said he was an actor – but it was worth a shot.

I love tacos! ^D^

She does in fact love tacos lol

heh, heh. I’m back after a considerable amount of time, as usual.

@theducktator

Who is your favorite person?

“The man who took all my photographs. I really appreciate them.”

Why do you always wear a mask?

[Stares at the interviewer for a long time until they get the gist] “…Cosmetics.”

“I don’t,” Barnes answered simply.

@the_lost-journal

I mean… she introduced herself to Cassius. We can say he sorta remembers her name even though he’s acting as Arnan.

@the_lost-journal

Cool! We do confirmations too, but don’t change our names.

@whalekeeper

Ewww, you’re holding it?! Slugs are cute, but they’re so slimy!

The Protector—Gabriel

Gabriel leaned close to Leander, whispering, “He doesn’t know what ‘flippancy’ means, does he?”
