Not intending to mess up the role play turns. 🫣

It’s hard to tell who wants to go next so I don’t blame you lol. Loops or Duck, one of you needs to go after me.

Marcel

Marcel laughed and brushed his hair out of his eyes so he could better return the glare. “With that attitude, you already do.”

The two…[Read more]

@rae

Is there something you want the book to lead up to, or should I make something up?

@rae

Lucille

Lucy picked up one of the candles. She tried blowing it out, then brought it to her nose and sniffed it curiously. It didn’t smell like anything. But it could be useful if they brought it with them.

On the one hand, the room disquieted both of them, but at least every element was familiar. Lucy even recognized the crochet pattern i…[Read more]

@rae

Should I add Chase to our merry little band?

You can do that if you want! As long as you can handle the two of them lol

@loopylin

Creepy

This is unrelated and I really shouldn’t be awake right now, but I’m confuzzled

Has anyone else ever seen the time on a comment labeled “right now”? Really silly, I know, but I have never seen that on KP before.

@rae

Lucille

“Hm.” Lucy was still thinking about Gabriel’s previous words. Maybe their homes were near each other; after all, Lucy couldn’t leave her city either. “I… No. Didn’t see anything.

@rae

Lucille

“That’s nicer than being called Fifth at your christening.” Lucy glanced at him. “That’s my ma’s name too. Gabriella, I mean. It’s the prettiest name I know.”

After he was sure the floor was steady, the Protector gave Lucy one of his blades again. Lucy held it with the tip pointing down, but it glowed enough to illuminate their path. The walls swelled from years of shifting earth; dark solidified soil cracked through the plaster. Where the wall was unbroken, someone had decorated it with…[Read more]

Lucille

There was another door ahead; gray, with wooden panels, it was the kind of door that hid along an equally gray wall in a sagging house.

“I want to know why it’s here.” Lucy got up and, after some thought, played a descending scale.

The floor creaked. As Lucy played, the room shifted like a ship at sea, and when she looked at the…[Read more]

‘Racist Hospital Workers Let Kid Die.’

😂 I’m dying

@loopylin
Yep, those are the rules I remember

@rae

Lucille

Lucy had to choke down a snort. She took the piano lid and pulled. It was heavy but had no hinges. It fell off with a thunderous boom. She scampered back, lost her balance, and sat down suddenly. Dust rose and she let out two sharp sneezes.

@rae

BAhaha XD

I think it’s safe to say this is a weird place and there can be weird random objects scattered within. Maybe that says something about the labyrinth masters, not so much the piano itself.

@rae

Lucille

“You’ve…” Lucy trailed off, brow furrowing. She clacked her fingers over the keys and tried to play a folk song, but only knew a few seconds of it.

@rae

Lucille

“Dunno why they’d put a piano in here. I wonder who they are.” Lucy couldn’t tell if they had returned to ground level – after taking the door that led into earth – or if they were in the labyrinth’s basement. The floor had sloped slightly as they walked, sometimes up and sometimes down. Even here, her internal compass was…[Read more]

@loopylin

That was lovely. Your descriptions are so pretty, and it’s such a tight piece of short fiction. Hopefully you don’t regret posting it anymore because we appreciated reading it.

@rae

Lucille

Lucy bent her right arm and flexed, her confidence incidentally boosted. “Mm-hm. Good.”

Short reply because I figured Gabriel will lead us on

Yeah, big-sibling little-kid energy but also mentor-follower. Lu doesn’t have siblings either and she’s mentally associating this with adults she knows. If she becomes Barnes again,…[Read more]

@rae

Thank you! ♥️ It seems I felt well enough to write something just now, haha. Energy when you’re ill is so inconsistent.

Lucille

The darkness was warm and comfortable in comparison to the outdoors, where they had wandered in the clammy mist for so long. Protector’s blades glowed like light through rose-colored glass. He turned them over in his hands and his hair lit up, twice as red, almost artificial.

His question finally registered. Lucy shrugged. She h…[Read more]
