Lucy slowly let go of the vine and walked a few paces, studying the way forward.

Ahead of them was a narrow path with arches over it – an overgrown arbor. Yellow roses and leaves grew so thick that the wood beams were almost completely hidden, like furniture draped in a golden blanket. The leaves fluttered in the breeze,…[Read more]

Yep. See near bottom of page 52

“Speaking of, I’m starved.”

The wall ended. Lucy found one of the vines tangled on the top, a thick silver tendril, and hacked at it with her hatchet. One end of it fell to the ground, and she slid down it like a drainpipe.

She looked up at Mel, holding the vine steady. “So you didn’t get taken?”

@loopylin

Lucille

“Outer fields.” Lucy stopped to help Mel over an extra large mound of vines. “Do you know how to get back to Colorado?”

@loopylin

Lucille

“Thanks. I’ve practiced. Where are you from?”

@loopylin

Lucille

“…That way.” Lucy pointed. She stood up and began awkwardly walking along the top of the wall, arms and jacket winging out. “Are you lost too?”

Dante would not survive twenty minutes there.

Why do I feel like the characters are going to crash-land there? It’ll be an episode of a tv show where it’s Dante’s POV and he’s absolutely miserable

The natives are Lemonhead’s species (still no name). They invented space travel first. It’s also the only planet with rings like Sat…

Well that makes sense. Especially because Liko has the design and skills of someone who belongs to a technologically or at least extra-able advanced group. What are Fainne and Gicel like?

@loopylin

Oooo, utopia. I’ve always been kind of interested in those but they’re rarely explored in books or media because dystopias are more appealingly edgy. If they’re the first planet to be visited and the third to develop the technology, does that mean space travel is pretty easy for them? Like moreso than for other planets’ inhabitants?

@koshka *Backs away, hands raised* Hey, I’m not trying to cause problems with your schoolwork. But the door is open.

Not to tag someone who might be busy, but @koshka if you ever want to join another roleplay, this one’s a lot of fun

“We were looking for a way out of the maze. He was helping me and – hm, well, maybe I wasn’t helping him any. I don’t know where I am now.”
The hedges grew in the typical labyrinthian fashion, but Lucy knew better than to think Gabriel was nearby. The plants themselves were different – the moss more emerald and the leaves less…[Read more]

Saturday should be fine. I’m gone on Tuesdays and most mornings but Saturday is usually a break.

*Still spying in the corner* I’m listening

I’m having that routine feeling where I feel like I shouldn’t have posted that, but there’s no actual reason why I shouldn’t

I was plotting a character’s life story, as one does, and I had the random thought to share a few of her songs. I never remember how many people know about Lucille Barnes so I’m just gonna tag @loopylin @rae

Lucy snorted. “I’m a country bird, not a city bird. These aren’t very discerning ducks.”

After another long pause, and after she felt confident enough to meet the younger girl in the eye, Lucy got up. She wiped her nose again and began spinning slowly in place to see everywhere. “Have y’seen a fellow, sort of physically l…[Read more]

Yep! Ducks have regional accents. And Lu would know that, so here we are. XD
