I’m back!!

I assume Kari is now outside? I can RP with her joining Ottoline and Hugo.

@savannah_grace2009

I love that! I want to hear more of the story! Is this all from your personal experience or did you add some parts?

Kari

As smoke filled the dining hall, Kari couldn’t see very well what was happening around her. Everything had erupted in chaos, and she was not prepared to fight. Backing into an obscure corner, she began praying for help. What could she use to fight? Glancing down at the ground, she noticed a knife lying near her feet. It must have ended up on…[Read more]

@rae

Depending on the prompt, I might join in, too. It sounds fun!

@rae

Just don’t kill Fennin too or our charries will never get home.

@jonas @highscribeofaetherium @rae @savannah_grace2009 @beth-torres

Well now I’m finally caught up and everyone else has to go lol.

@jonas @rae @highscribeofaetherium

Do you know how strange this entire story would sound to someone who hasn’t been a part of it? A group of youth get locked into a house that talks to them and forces them to have a masquerade ball, and then they get sucked into another world by a queen who wants them to fight off dragons. The odds are stacked…[Read more]

Almost just tagged myself by mistake lol.

“Material possessions mean a great deal to many people,” Hudson observed. “Perhaps it won’t hurt her too badly to realize that life is more than the expensive articles she can collect.”

@beth-torres

“Can’t you… you know? Suck it all back in… or something?”

Lol this made me laugh!

@rae

I don’t usually have the problem of running into people older than me on here, lol. Probably because most people out of high school don’t have time to be on KP much. I’ve found that even in person I tend to gravitate towards people my age or younger for friends, but I do have a few who are older than me.

@hybridlore

It’s a whole thing… Rae will randomly start filling up the Character Party chat with pictures of dragons.

@hybridlore @savannah_grace2009

Here’s the next part:

May was an unusually dry month, drier than any I’d seen before. Pa and Mama were fearful of fires, always exercising caution when cooking. Any wayward spark from the chimney could catch the dry brush and start an inferno.

On a Sunday afternoon, shortly after we’d finished planting, Mam…[Read more]

@hybridlore @savannah_grace2009

OK, thanks for the input! Maybe I’ll just write a couple scenes in Etta’s POV and see what happens… I wouldn’t have to keep them as part of the story, but maybe it would be helpful to see some of my characters from a different set of eyes.

@every0ne

Maybe Carrie should join first before we move forward. What were the characters doing last?

@beth-torres

I think you should keep her in! Kari hasn’t had a lot of conflict with other characters in this RP so it might be fun to make some confusion. I feel like it could go two ways- either the girls bond over their names and have fun confusing people, or they get annoyed at each other and butt heads.

@hybridlore @savannah_grace2009

I just had this thought: what if I added Etta’s POV to the whole story? Like switching back and forth between Libbie and Etta’s perspectives? I think it would be fun, and might help develop some of the side characters better, but it also might make things more confusing, and for simplicity’s sake might be better…[Read more]

@beth-torres @jonas

Ooh, this could be fun! Imagine all the confusion that can be caused with their names lol.

@hybridlore @savannah_grace2009

Let me know if any of this needs to be fleshed out more (or if it moves too fast and there should be more specific scenarios).

Things are about to get dicey…

Come spring, many changes occurred. The first was Bert Hawley asking Pa for Clara’s hand in marriage. The wedding was planned for June, and Clara w…[Read more]

Yeah, I think Lane was 14.
