Trahia the Minstrel

@loopylin I tried to write this yesterday but kp kept crashing on me. Thankfully i saved it in a google doc.

Soldier

Finally that big bird was away from me!

I’m not like him! I have a THINKING MIND, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

A rattling caught my attention, and stones appeared under my feet.

Stones don’t just grow from the ground! I should…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle Peakkkkkk

also I totally agree on the best drawing of Baron, if the mockup cover was the one with the side view of him looking up at the wind or something like that.

@theshadow it was Huntress studying the book, not Sniper, but ehhh doesn’t matter lol

also heyyy Azalea has a twin brother too maybe the girls could bond over that

Sniper

I brought up the back of the group as before, at least until Trevor pointed out that the tunnels turned into a maze.

“Does anyone have a photographic memory?” he asked.

I…[Read more]

so….yeah. Equal parts hilarious and terrifying.

i looked up my tf2 fanfic because i have its lore on a Fandom wiki and it called the Argonites “crystalline” lollllll

I went further just by using my own research and realized this was because of two things: there’s a crystal known as “aragonite” which could easily be confused for it, and there’s also a completely different Argonite species…[Read more]

okay never mind I asked it how many characters there were and it gave me most of them.

it calls Sniper “an Argonite from the planet Staten who lacks any powers,” Huntress is merely “a fighter who traverses the maze along with him” and Mel “a primary guide.” this is weird lollll

@whalekeeper

why did it call Sniper “the crocodile man”

it should know what tf2 is lollllll

ok now I need to do this

@theshadow

Huntress

The tunnel stretched out in front of us. This one was carved by something, or someone, not a mere animal like the one that’d taken Rosalind. Whether that someone was still alive was a question I didn’t exactly want to think about right now.

I checked out the book on the table. It was old, its cover worn but probably not as…[Read more]

@loopylin yesss 17 sounds awesome

@whalekeeper Huntress has a pair of pistols I think. Sniper gave up his rifle of course but might still have a smaller gun on him, idk.

Not sure what Soldier has. A shotgun and/or rocket launcher is his typical weapon but that would be pretty obvious to everyone else. He might just be using plain old claws.

@loopylin @whaley

@whalekeeper

i love those they’re amazing

@loopylin @rae @whalekeeper

Huntress

Mel hid her face in her hands, looking very stressed.

Sniper appeared tense, as if he thought it was his fault she were upset. He stood up and backed away as Gabriel asked Mel what was wrong, leaping up to sit on a rock and watch where he couldn’t interfere.

I sat down next to him. “I don’t think she’s…[Read more]

@loopylin nahhh you’re good lol

@loopylin

Sniper

She asked if my scales gave me powers, then trailed off tryin’ to pronounce my species’ name.

My tail flicked worriedly as I realized I’d made her start snifflin’. Gabriel tried his best to comfort her.

I kneeled down on the other side of her and curled my tail close to my legs, makin’ myself smaller and hopefully less…[Read more]

@theshadow

Sniper

“But that sounds kind of cool though, putting down animals. I mean, you’re killing, er, putting them down for a good cause. Although that sounds a little tough having to see that animal and uh, you know, eliminate it. But you must be used to it, right? Sorry, this all sounds wrong-” Trevor stuttered.

Azalea cut in before he co…[Read more]

@loopylin @rae @whalekeeper

Huntress

Mell giggled at Soldier as he tried to avoid Runt.

She then turned to me. “What, um… Who are you guys?”

I wasn’t exactly sure how to tell her what we were without freaking her out. “We’re, from, uh…a a galaxy really far from here.” I finally explained, trying to make it decently easy to understand. “We w…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle what I mean by that is “despite the fact that I probably will never have an IRL husband that doesn’t stop me from fictional character projection” lol

@loopylin

What does my ethnicity have to do with how well I can do the job?

honestly though

@ellette-giselle nah I figured you were just messing around with someone lol

@ellette-giselle Not as drastic as yours, but one time I was filling out medical paperwork and they asked for my race/ethnicity/whatever the heck it’s called

And of course I threw myself into a tizzy because why do YOU need to know that you annoying government officials who are so concerned about that sort of thing can I not just be a HUMAN and l…[Read more]

@loopylin

Huntress

“I’m not scared.” Mel tried her best to look tough. She reminded me a tiny bit of me at that age.

She fed the giant bird a pastry she had in her pocket. “This is Runt. He’s not scared either.”

He cawed softly and pecked at the pastry.

Kind of impressive that a girl that young was able to tame a bird that large. A little odd…[Read more]
