Wow… this looks really cool! I will watch from a distance! (I bet you’ve already started writing 😅)

@grcr
(it’s fine that it’s long XD)“Y-You know, good question. I kinda just say it.” *thinks for a moment* “Yeah, no real reason. Just a weird habit.”
“Yup yup. We’re very close. When we were wee ones, we didn’t do anything without each other. Heh, that’s changed a little… well, very little. We, you know, have our troubles… like all siblings do. We’re human after all. But, I’m the oldest, so when things get too out of line I just…” *stops as he realizes he’s exposing himself for bopping his siblings*
“O-Our friends call us the quadsquad.”
“Seven, huh? That’s pretty cool—I love big families. I have a friend with nine siblings… they’re a real mess tho.”
Thanks, your family sounds pretty cool too! And I didn’t mean to insult you are anything…
“Oh, yeah, definitely. Maybe not a villain… but maybe a bad person.”
“There’s this one kid… this one girl… we call her Tippy… who goes to my school. I used to tease her a little. She probably thinks I’m a bad feller.”
Wow, so you’ve bullied someone before…? That’s a little surprising.
“Murdered!? Oh that would be really terrible! And I know the killer!? My my my. Well um… I guess, I’d feel really terrible and like… report the guy or turn him in to the police. I’d… feel really bad about the whole situation…” *seems to be greatly disturbed*
So you wouldn’t track them down and kill them…? Sorry… that was uncalled for XD and what if it was one of your siblings? Or someone else who is really close.
“Tied up. Hmm… well I’d assess what I was tied up with, where and how I was tied up, and then I’d try to work around that and try to, like, not get killed. If I was how I am right now—with empty pockets—I’d try to bribe someone into helping me. Like, if there were more than one kidnapper. I don’t think I should say this here to the whole wide world, but—” *whispering* “—I’ve got quite a bit of money at home, I could probably offer a big check to whoever would help me. Hello hel—” *stops*
Ah! So you’d try to talk your way out of it, with money? Interesting. What if they didn’t respond? Do you think you’d try to fight then?
*Celestia walks by, she stops as soon as she hears the word, “money”… She peers in through the window*
“For real, for real.”
“The plane crashed near the island we ended up on, so it was, like, a very short swim. Not to baost to much, but I’m a preetty fine swimmer.” *pats arm*
Got it! I thought you were saying you swam off the island and made it back to civilization 😂 but anyway! How did you escape the island?
“Coolio. In Eblar, you usually invite a ton of people—and I mean it… a ton. I’ve been to Hebnic weddings where there were over five hundred guests. I was like, ‘woah, bro, did you just invite your whole neighborhood?’” *Flaz pauses and looks down at his feet for a moment* “Actually, yeah, that’s what happened. One guy told me he did invite his whole community and his parents’ community… crazy. But that’s pretty common for Hebnics in Eblar.”
Wow…. imagine how much that would cost…
“Oh yeah, the question, tho. If I were invited… I’d dress my best and… follow whatever the traditions for that wedding were. We’re pretty classic here in Burne when it comes to weddings and all that jazzy jazz. I probably wouldn’t go alone—Lily would probably want to go too. We share friends so I’m sure the friend getting married would be good with her coming. And that might be a good thing because I have the tendency to do some… impulesive… things and, like, shame myself… so yeah, she’d be nice to have there. A-And my other siblings…… maybe.”
Nice! I have only ever been to one wedding in my life, but it was pretty fun! What kind of traditions do you have?
(Note from -G-: I share Ethrin with my siblings, so there is a bit of world building that still needs to be done concerning the relationship between that country and Extroit. Sorry if what he says seems repetitive. 😅)
*(that is pretty cool!)*
“I don’t know, actually. We’d be pretty free. The king would probably use the time to try to clean up our country. I don’t think we would take Ethrin’s land because… why would we add more problems to the ones we have.”
Is the king a good king?
“heh…. a good king? No such thing!” *Celestia chuckles quietly from the hallway*
And would he have the money to fix all the main problems?
“Extroit’s goal? Well, our country’s goal currently is to run a stable economy and stay far far away from war with Ethrin. Our founders came here to be free from the evils of Ethrin, but they want our territories and to reclaim what they believe was already theirs. I mean, bro, leave us alone. We have all sorts of troubles without rumors of war for stupid reasons. We need them to mind themselves, so we can mind oursleves—ya know.”
So you’re saying it’s not very stable…? But that is your to stay stable, and to peaceful? Nice.
“Well, I do have some Ethrinian friends. They’re human after all… and not everyone is with those evil schemes. One of my dear Burnish friends has a few Ethrinians at his house, when I think about it. Yeah, they’re good friends of his—“ *Flaz stops* “…wait a minute. Wait a… is he Burnish? I don’t remember—he actually might be Ethrinian too.” *confused expression* “…I-I don’t know. But then again… Ethrinians have stark white hair, and his is literally jet black… I—yeah, I don’t know. That’s too much for my puny brain.”
Do they ever act racist? Or act rude to you…? Sorry, I bet they don’t… well… if they’re good friends that is…
“What is Ethrin like… well, I’ve only been to Ethrin a couple times. Ethrin is huge. Yeah, really big. It’s the largest country on our planet. And its the only country connected to ours. We’re like twin countries. It’s really advanced technologically, and they have a HUGE military. Their warriors are no joke. Both, um, Ethrin and Extroit are near the top of the world, so it’s really really cold in Ethrin. Like, it’s cold here in Extroit too, but bro, it’s ten times as cold out there.”
What were the people like to you? Did they treat you well? Did you have to pay extra taxes on goods?
“You can come from Ethrin to Extroit, but its harder to go from Extroit to Ethrin. There are a lot of racist Ethrinians near the borders.”
That’s what I imagined…
“Yup yup. They are trying to conquer for sure. Ethrin is always looking to acquire our land—gets so annoying after awhile. Most Ethrinians crowd the border, so it seems like there’s not enough land. But they should just go away from the border, where the Ethrinian countryside is. Ethrin has all the land they need without ours.”
That reminds me a lot of this one story, called Call of the Bog Owl. It is really similar to your world…
Moral of the story, "always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you."
(quick note before we begin… your character has some interesting ways of talking.)
“As a matter of fact, I do! I have three siblings—Frin, Lily, and Iniko—aka my fellow quadruplets. I have a mommy and a dad, a grandma and a grandpa. Two uncles, an auntie, and at least nine or ten cousins. Hello hello.”
“Friends tho? Bruh, I have too many. I have my warrior team… my handball team… some school friends… friends in Eblar…”
[Frin: “You don’t have to name them all, Flazzy.”]
Uh… hello? Why do you say “Hello hello” at the end of sentences? Also WOW! You’re a quadruplet??? What is that even like!? I thought having seven siblings was a bad… but having three siblings all your age would be pretty bad too…
“Usually a good person… I mean, depends on who you ask…” *shoves history down in a box and tapes it up* “Warriors are heroes, and I am a warrior. I am a hero.”
Would anyone say you are a bad person? Or a villain?
“Yoikes. Depends on how they were killed. I’d be sad tho. Maybe take to my room for a while, but I’d come around.”
Yoiks indeed! But what if they were murdered? And you knew who the killer was…
“Yoi! Also depends on the circumstance. I guess my first instinct would be to try to boom-bang and fight off as many guys as I could. Then I’d try to escape or call for help.”
What if you were tied up? How would you escape?
“Oh, you know, this actually happened to me before. But I fell into water and was able to swim to land. I think I, like, got injured on the first or second day because of some…” *rubs tip of nose and squints* “…impulsive behavior. Luckily I crashed with some friends, hello hello.”
“So, it would probably be something similar—either my warrior instincts would kick in or I’d die. Nothing too unusual.”
I feel like this has happened to too many character…But how were you able to swim to land?“I say, ‘Wow! Congratulations! Who’s the guy or girlie?’”
“You don’t usually invite a lot of people to Burnish weddings, so if they don’t mention me coming to it then well… all I could really do is say wow and buy them a present or something. Hello hello.”
[his idea of a small wedding is fifty to one hundred guest, so phffffff…]
That’s pretty close to how it’s here where I live. sixty to one hundred fifty is the usual guest count. But what if you were invited?
“Well, um, that’s a difficult thing to answer because, well, I don’t really have an enemy. My country’s enemy? Ethrin? Well uhhhh that be a hard enemy to defeat, and that’s not really our country’s goal. I-I don’t know…”
Oh! I have a lot of questions from this now! What would your country do if it did defeat Ethrin? And what is your countries goal? Do you think you could ever be friends with someone from Ethrin? What is Ethrin like? Are they trying to conquer you!?!?
“I run up to them, I pull them into a large embrace, tears fall from my eyes. And then I smack them real hard, shake their shoulders til their crying as hard as I am, and ask them where they’d been and why they got lost.”
This makes me glad I am not your friend……… …… … ………… …………… …. .. … …………… . . .

Oh.. .okay. I did notice that it looked worse on camera than in person. but thanks
Moral of the story, "always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you."
Huntress: Oh boy.
Scout:…..How do I put this?
Huntress: Intense? Loud and deeply patriotic?
Scout: Yeah. And aggressive. *thinks about all the times he got beat up for a trivial reason*
Huntress: Oh yeah, also, he likes honey. A LOT.
Scout: *wrinkles nose* Don’t remind me of the fact that he sometimes smells like he rolled in it and then stood in the sun for hours to dry himself off.
Huntress: He probably did……
Leander: “I shouldn’t have asked…” *Leander seems a little surprised.*
I don’t know whether to say ‘wow’… or ‘ew’…
Leander: “What country- sorry. I mean planet, is he patriotic for?” *Leander corrects himself, picking up on Huntress and Scout’s world, little by little* “And what is that planet like?”
Another question, does he like milk with honey? Or tea with honey? Oh! Or milk tea with honey? Sorry…
Leander: “I am glad he isn’t here… oh hey…. would you guys like to meet two of my friends? I met you three, so how about you meet two more people?”
Moral of the story, "always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you."
Thanks…! Yeah, he’s pretty cool… do you have any feedback? Also can you notice the details…? Like how he is clutching the blanket on the inside with is hands, or how his moon face part is a mask because the black goes all around it…? Or am I just bad and you can’t see that?
Moral of the story, "always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you."
Hello anyone! I drew again… And I would like feedback, bitte. (that is German for please, and you’re welcome) Uhm… yeah? I think it is oki.
His name is Astro, he is from one of my favorite games Dandy’s World. He is supposed to be a moon, see how the blue part of his face makes a moon shape. I believe he turned out well, but I would like some other’s opinions. THANK YOU!!!
Sincerely, Kefa! The Avocado Elf, the Magic Potato’s Assistant, the Lost-Journal_Keeper, the… uh…. Yeah?
Moral of the story, "always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you."
Huntress: Yeah, sometimes. Most of those were a while back ago though, I don’t remember all the details.
Okay…
Scout: Nahh, he wasn’t dead. We hadn’t met him back then.
Oh! That’s a relief!
Leander: “What is he like?”
Sniper:…What?
Huntress, realizing: Oh! uh…Those are some of the other species that live in the galaxy…our galaxy…whatever. Ornithiforms have birdlike wings and feathered tails, and Sunekites have venom and tails like snakes.
Ah! I understand!
Leander: “Same here! There is a lot of species in Kaimor! The only thing is, our species are dead everywhere else in the world. That’s why Kaimor is sooo important!”
[Speaking as myself, I think I gotta agree with your author here, Leander.]
Yup… XD
Moral of the story, "always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you."
Huntress: Well, his list of targets doesn’t mean we had to kill them. Some of them were runaways that needed to be delivered up to the proper people.
Scout: I used to keep track of the animals our brothers caught with us when we were little and would go out searching for squirrels. Sometimes we’d come back with a little more than a squirrel….
Huntress: Like that raccoon. Ha! Soldier woulda loved that.
Leander: “What did the people do with them…? Do you mean they were prisoners…? That makes sense.”
What do you mean by: “Soldier would’ve loved that”? Was he just not there for the moment…? Or is he… ya know? dead?
Sniper: I have. The Ornithiform and Sunekite who shot me and tortured Huntress got what was comin’ to ’em.
Huntress: What he’s not mentioning to you is that they might’ve killed his parents, too.
The what now? And what do you mean by: “you have them”…?
Leander: “So you’re saying it’s okay… that’s good!”
Uhm… I don’t think that’s good…
Leander: “Well, it’s comforting to know that someone else has done it! I mean, killing on revenge and all that.”
Leander… almost everyone you know and love have killed on account for revenge…
Leander: “WHAT???!!!”
Yup! Rapha killed her awful adoptive mother!… Thomas killed that one guy who murdered HIS parents. Celestia has killed her ex-ally and ex-boss. And your father is the one who killed your brother! Well… that wasn’t out of revenge… that was out of over protection for you!
