The Ducktator

@keilah-h

Can you guys describe your characters?

Oh! Yeah I can do that. Barnes is just a tall woman with chopped blonde hair. Wears very old-style clothing from maybe the 40s, a suit in this. Also a white mask with dark eyeholes. Little Lucy is literally the same but without the mask and with even shorter hair.

It’s cool you want to draw this! B…[Read more]

@whalekeeper thanks!

@loopylin it’s fine don’t worry!

I’m good with anything that happens as long as Lucy stays with Gabriel. She’d be none too happy if they got separated

@keilah-h

5 is Ayla, Ducktator’s character

@loopylin I’d be good with that. My characters might not though, they’ll be super confused.

@rae @whalekeeper if Loopy pulls her charries, you mind if my three join your party?

Can you guys describe your characters? I’m only gonna draw silhouettes or closeups of eyes or hands or feet or whatever’s important to the character’s arc in this rp, but I still would like details.

@loopylin @whalekeeper

so we got:

1: Felicity

2: Kefa’s cat prince

3: Mel

4: Kefa’s split personality character

5: Not sure who this is

6: Huntress

7: Sniper

8: Soldier?

9: Gabriel

10: Barnes

@loopylin

You can always make them lose their way and come back to them another time. The mist could warp time and they’d wander around without doing anything significant for days on end. So you can do something else in the meantime.

@keilah-h

😂 Ah yes, the Wings of Fire prophecy. Glad you like the poem. I would’ve liked to do every character justice but I don’t know their character arcs and whatnot.

@loopylin

Yep that’s correct

@loopylin

The way I’ve imagined it, the labyrinth is really good at acting like it has a mastermind. It’s not a person and doesn’t have a person behind it, but it can mechanically detect, reflect and manipulate real people’s thoughts. No one within the story wrote the poem; it just spontaneously manifested because of how the labyrinth…[Read more]

It’s like a Wings of Fire prophecy. I kinda want to draw a thing for it, kinda like this:

(Not my art)

@whalekeeper i love that poem hehe

I think I can pick out Huntress and Sniper plus Kefa’s removed characters. Who are the rest?

@rae

Lucille

Lucy did as she was told and more; she slid every candle into her trouser belt and pockets. The flames flickered around her waist like a burner under a pan and she hissed with restrained laughter.

The poem didn’t make much sense. Was it about people who had already escaped? Had they died? She recognized Gabriel’s title, but the res…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Okay, glad you’re alright.

Also, I like the poem

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

As Lucy read the poem, the voices grew louder, hissing their jargon in his mind. He wanted to shout at them to stop, but kept his voice silent, not wishing to disturb Lucy.

“That’s alright, thank you. You read much better than I.” Gabriel tried to keep h…[Read more]

@rae

My hand is fine now. I was rather miffed because I burnt my hand yesterday too, pulling steak out of the oven.  It’s never bad burn, just painful for ten minutes or so.

Baking is indeed fun and time-consuming

@whalekeeper

I hope your hand is okay!

but, yeah, I get how baking gets busy

I apologize for the bad poem. I wrote it quickly and didn’t want to spend forever fixing it

@rae

Lucille

For the first time, Lucy’s face flushed. Gabriel knew she was young, but he didn’t know that while she was a good silent reader, she did not read aloud to people. She put the book on the table and squinted in the candlelight. She stuttered but got through it.

Here we have our victims
Here we have them all
In our labyrinth wonde…[Read more]

@rae

Sorry about the wait! I spent the afternoon whisking masa, cooking meat, burning my hand on a kettle, etc. Lots of cooking. And I felt I should update the school roleplay first if I had free time.

Make something up

Alright! I had an idea, just give me two shakes

@theducktator Yesss even though I’m not part of a denomination that celebrates that feast, I remember learning about it from the Christmas-themed What’s in the Bible episode (if anyone is familiar with those. They’re great if you haven’t seen ’em).

Did you know that today instead of the 25th was originally the day that children got presents?…[Read more]
