Ellis

They reached the trees on the edge of the field and continued wandering, keeping the school in sight. The tension from the vision and finding the dead bird was eased by time and the peaceful nature surrounding them. Ellis picked up a broken branch off the ground. It could have been broken by the metal man, or just as easily…[Read more]

Princes were odd creatures. This, Sarabelle knew very well after working at the school as a cleaner for the past three years. She knew this well enough to tell the difference between a student being eccentric, and a student being suspicious. She paused her duties to watch one particular curly haired youth wander shiftily around the hall…[Read more]

She has some wisdom. XD

I wouldn’t call it that

That’s valid. I just spent 20 minutes researching the Pre-Raphealite art movement because I was wondering if it would be a better term than “medieval” for costume design. Result: it would not.

XD that is very relatable. Sounds like it was a pretty fun rabbit trail to go down thoug…[Read more]

Would she like sky-diving?

Uhhhhhhhhh

I don’t think so. She doesn’t like feeling out of control of her circumstances. She likes being up high  in trees and things because it’s calming and the view is peaceful. It makes her feel safe. She’s not thrill seeking. (I very much overthought this question)

also the adhd bit makes me think of how we decided that Scout canonically has adhd lolllll

wind charmer Jeremy would certainly be something but it actually really fits him tbh

Mellissa

“Can we go to the kitchen now? I’m hungry.” Mel pointed to the door that they had come in from, but it had now changed. It was wooden, and had sun bleached paint that was starting to peel. The bottom had an unused cat door and a few splashes of dried mud from the rain. Mel recognized it. It was the door into…[Read more]

Ellis

“I have never seen a metal man like that before. They sound… unnatural. But I saw a pair of metal feet in my vision. They looked damaged. One was twisted and broken.”

@whalekeeper

Ellis

“You did? Where?”

Ellis

Ellis hesitated for a moment, watching the bird, before jogging to catch up with Moth. When the two were walking side by side, he asked, “How can something that’s not living walk?”

Ellis

Ellis swallowed his discomfort and looked in the direction the footsteps were heading. After the wet, marshy area, the ground sloped back up into a grassy field. Beyond that were trees, tall and shady. They seemed to mark the edge of the school grounds.

“The trail ends here, but we know which direction it was going.”

Is Lillian sweet and smokin’?

LOL hearing the slang in Lucy’s world from her is cute.

I have a theory

I’m scared to ask because I don’t want you to be right

Ellis

“I’m sorry,” Ellis said softly. He lifted a hand as if to touch the bird, then let it fall back to his side. “Maybe it got stuck in the reeds.”

before the ground began too wet and the trail disappeared.

*the ground got too wet

Can Moth sense other things like fairy vs human souls? I’m curious about his abilities now

Ellis

Now even more curious, Ellis waded into the reeds, following the prints off the path. They continued in the mud for a couple yards, before the ground began too wet and the trail disappeared. Ellis looked down at where he thought the…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon aw I love that description thank you

Also, @rae happy birthday!! I saw your post on unvale. Hope you have a splendiferous time celebrating:]

Ellis 

Ellis’ eyebrows raised in surprise. He studied the prints closer.

“What does that mean?”

At first he had just been mildly curious. He wanted to know what kind of shoes they were. Now he didn’t know what to think.

Lucy: *Looks at Lillian with suspicion* *Looks at Gabriel* “…She’s a fish.”

LOLLLLL

my characters would probably not even find it weird, I mean Huntress is a mostly-humanoid and Sniper’s half-crocodile. Soldier is a bird-like creature and his wife is a bear-like one–and they have two cute-but-probably-mutant childre…[Read more]

Ellis

“No. It’s more… spontaneous than that. I know nothing about your fate.”

The path sloped downward into a small, marshy area, surrounded by waist-high reeds. As Ellis stepped around a muddy patch, he noticed something. Several…[Read more]

@anyonewholikesthesecharactersidk

@everyone what are pells?

Ellis
“It means we watch for storms.” Ellis turned to face Moth’s inquisitive eyes. “And other things.” He began to walk slowly again towards the path to the gymnasium. The vague, sarcastic answer didn’t last long. “Some in my family have the ability to see the future. It was a gift from the fae over a hundred years ago and we have…[Read more]

a map would be great

@whalekeeper Moth still following? 

Ellis 

Ellis let his feet lead as his mind wandered. He soon found himself on a gravel path outside meandering down a hill towards the gardens. It was much quieter out here. Two yellow butterflies flitted into view, dancing around each other, and he paused a moment to w…[Read more]

last night proves I’m clinically insane.

yeah

The Phantom of the Opera mixed with the French Revolution results in way too many murders and one very misused heroine. XD That was the weirdest dream I’ve had in weeks.

That sounds interesting. I want details

Lois

For the first time that morning, Lois felt himself relax slightly. His eyes twinkled with amusement at the two friends’ dynamic. He shook Wilhelm’s hand. “Thank you. Enjoy your classes. Maybe I will see you two around.”

Yeah, Lois not eating is definitely not a good thing, but it’s just because he’s the type of person who never has much of an appetite, especially when he’s anxious about something.

also Lillian sounds super cool! Species and culture breakdowns are fun, I’m totally up for reading about her kind!

Lois is making me worried. XD

Because he’s not eating? Lol

“Well, I was intending to go to the sparring fields before other classes, although I haven’t the slightest idea where any of that is. What about you two?”

Ellis will probably head there too :]

Lois

“I, uh, misplaced something. I was going to go searching for it.” Lois looked at his untouched plate, forced one bite of eggs, and then washed it down with his last gulp of coffee.

hehe these are great. The Wilhelm one keeps making me giggle. You are, truly, the undefeated Meme Queen

Sorry I can’t tell who Wilhelm was talking to when he asked “are you all right?” If he was talking to Wolf, you can ignore the “yes fine” part

Lois

Lois blinked a few times. “Yes, fine. I’m Lois. Thorne.” The tension had eased a bit now that the dark haired boy had left. He eyed the empty chair, wondering if he should sit closer to make conversation easier. He didn’t move. He looked at Wilhelm’s friend. “I… I was worried he was going to hit you.”
