Oh yeah, stress can definitely give you stomach pains, and a hard time eating. He sounds like he needs a hug. I’m glad he feels a little better <3

When you aren’t immediately sad about the whole thing, it might help to go to your parents and talk with them about it, even if they seem angry when you lash out.

For example, my parents can feel frustrated with my younger brother, but when he tries to explain why he had a temper explosion, they can see he isn’t…[Read more]

Oh, that’s an interesting perspective I’ve never heard before. So you wouldn’t write about death in any circumstance because it might offend people?

But I have done enough things in my life that tell others that I’m not a Christian, I don’t need to add to the list.

This comment above ^ Do you find it unlikable to talk/write about death?

@raxforge @rae

If Ben, Flare, and Baron head for the river, they shouldn’t be followed too closely. The ironwalkers are jostled enough from Marcel’s strike that they have their equivalent to severe nerve damage and/or concussions. 👍

Discussion question. What is the difference between a protagonist and a hero? What qualities do you like to see in a protagonist, and do you prefer them to be a ‘hero’ or nay?

I’mma throwing this out there because I like reading people’s responses. 🙂

@loopylin

I give you the stamp of approval. 🏅 But you already know that, since rubberhose is my favorite.

@rae

If you ever finish yours, I’d still like to see it! I now it’s too late for you to enter, but I’m very curious.

Honestly I think it revealed too much about one of my characters. And as you know, I am quite skittish to post such things. XD

Congrats, this topic rose in popularity again! I’m glad everyone is having fun! And this whole family…[Read more]

Aaaand I shall cross my arms and back away from this, because I have roleplayed enough already.

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

Without waiting for the group to disappear over the rooftops, Marcel ran at the ironwalker he had previously maimed.

His opponent horizontally sliced its broadsword. Marcel leapt onto the hilt and quickly stuck his hand into the elbow joint. As…[Read more]

@jonas @loopylin @hybridlore @ellette-giselle @rae @grcr @raxforge

Okay we should probably head towards the river

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

Marcel doubled over to cough, and punched the wind elemental’s shoulder. It was the best way he could think of communicating friendship.

They had to find a way out of there. He got an idea, and…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Last time I checked, your characters jumped onto the boat with Rina and the rebel NPCs to escape the city. Group 1 is reasonably far off inside the city, fighting. So you are not with our group. 🙃

@grcr

You’re good, lots of people are posting long sections. ;] No one minds at all, it helps to move things forward.

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

So many enemies still stood firm. But there was still hope to win, as long as everyone worked together.

Marcel took quick…[Read more]

@rae I am not submitting anything today. 😖 I really thought I could give you something, but I’m struggling with mental exhaustion/health issues and this thing just isn’t going to happen. I finished a sufficient chunk of the story and couldn’t bring myself to push the submit button. I enjoyed reading y’all’s stories and I hope you have fun!

@rae Expect mine to be posted at the literal last minute. I have a lot to do today and I can’t get this done right away. 😅

@jonas @loopylin @hybridlore @ellette-giselle @rae @grcr @raxforge

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

Marcel stumbled over to Sara and Felicity to fetch his staff. He held it in the crook of his bad arm and punched their shoulders with his other hand. “Nice job.”

They shared smiles for a split second. Marcel ran back into the fray. His hand…[Read more]

@jonas

I think Marcel’s is dead; either we can say the feathers muffled it to death, or tearing off the iron kills the ironwalker because its body is sealed to the armor. This sounds rather morbid, now that I write it.

Quick post to remind everyone and myself. I have to finish this tonight, otherwise it won’t get done. 😂
