Yeeaaah that’s true. :-p They could easily turn sour towards each other. And that’s okay. No problem with little skirmishes.

Koshka, I was a little mentally exhausted last night, and when I tried to write, this collection of images suddenly flashed in my mind. I’m afraid I saw our characters as these cats.

Moth

“Come with us, Ari.” Moth let his antennae droop, just a little.

Moth

“Yes. I will go to your science class. And Ari will come with us.”

I appreciate this! When things get heated. . . it makes me feel blah. 🤣

Understandable. 😅 It always makes me feel bad too. Don’t worry about it.
I appreciate the verses as reference! Thank you for your perspective. It’s always interesting to read about. And it is good to hear other people’s personal stories.
This might feel like I’m…[Read more]

Yayy, he caught them both off guard

Moth

Ari and Ellis were almost smiling; that was easy to sense. Inwardly, Moth couldn’t help but glow. He kept a firm countenance.

He lifted his bow one last time. “If I make this, Ari must pay homage to my superior skills.”

Unfortunately for him, his arm’s strength gave out before he co…[Read more]

Regardless of actual age, you are the KP grandma

Hmmm.

@ellette-giselle

That was me for at least a year, maybe longer. Wyoh takes on different forms for each of us.

@writingwren

Helloooo! You’ve already gotten so many intros that I don’t want to keep you.

I’m Whaley. I write retro science-fiction/fantasy. I’m the kind of writer who spends hours frantically scribbling world details and evil plot plans on a giant whiteboard. As some people can tell you, I frequently go overboard and frequently create…[Read more]

WhEn DiD EvErY OnE GrOw Up!!!!???

I think most of us OGs are college-age right now. Ducktator is just a bit younger. My 20th birthday is about to hit me and Loopy is like, ancient.

Moth is right. They are both kind. Trivial things have insurmountable value.

Indeed. Such things can be very meaningful to someone else, even if no one else knows it.

@loopylin

You didn’t answer my question

I love you and will always be happy to support and pray with you as my friend.

That is very sweet of you to say, Elishavet. I also love you. I appreciate this and I am always willing to do the same for you. <3

Also totally willing to answer questions to the best of my ability.

I will keep that in mind. And thank you for your…[Read more]

Moth

“I cannot believe I have people to talk to. It is odd to say, but I am not accustomed to this — this spoiled lifestyle. Being with people — doing things, having small conversation — to everyone else this is normal, but for me… Perhaps it sounds silly, but these trivial things are rare to me. Thank you both for asking my…[Read more]

HA don’t expect anything too silly

@loopylin

O.O

Did they disappear?

Moth

Moth looked from Ellis to Ari, and set down his bow as well. “May I say something that is a little embarrassing for me?”

Hey! Quick question, since you’re talking about the Holy Spirit!

I’ve had friends and acquaintances who say that you have to experience Holy Spirit through a sign like speaking in tongues, and if you don’t, you aren’t saved. There’s also the alternate belief that you can be saved without the Spirit, but the ideal place in…[Read more]

My mother was, though

Is she dead?

@ellette-giselle

Ah, yes, me when writing last night

Pardon me bringing this back, lol. It just struck me suddenly today without me thinking about it. Jim wasn’t a Christian when he died, I don’t think. Right?

Moth

”I suppose it would not harm you to worry a little,” Moth told Ellis. “Not much.”

If someone made him food, he’d invite them in and might try for a hug. ;] Emphasis on might. He doesn’t know if anyone would accept his hugs.

@ellette-giselle

You’re fine! I’ll see if Jasper wants to do something. I think he would stay quiet at this point and let someone else speak if they wish. But maybe I can come up with…[Read more]

Moth

It seemed best to take note of when Ari grew dark. Once again, he did not care to say much about himself, but some of his short, clipped exclamations did not seem to come from a place of peace. Passion — and something like anguish — shone out of him in short bursts, like sunlight half blocked by a hand.

Moth would und…[Read more]

I have a London Fog too! Probably going to wear it a ton this winter. Gotta ward off the anemia chills.

thanks for being the polite one and giving the RPs.

*Tips hat* No problem. It’s ma job.

@ellette-giselle

Well, based on those rps, Wolf can do something now if he wants to! Or Wilhelm and Jasper can continue interacting. Do you have a preference?

instead of try to scroll through a million RPs. 🤣

Luckily I have that google doc,…[Read more]

Moth

The young archer continued to prove his skill, and the other two boys watched. He showed no signs of straining, for he shot smoothly and without physical complaint.

It was easy to see why Ari loved this. It looked as easy for him as breathing.

“It is just a saying. A different way to say my shot was good fate,” Moth…[Read more]

I would love one day, when I have an actual job, to wear outfits with vintage elegance that slacks naturally have.

The dream, for sure.

I WANT A TRENCH COAT SO BAD WDYM YOU HAVE 3?!

I acquired them almost accidentally. I’m just as surprised as you are. XD

Any tips for thrifting?

This might be generic advice, but my best tip i…[Read more]

This is what my character Enid said

Heeyyy, we both have a character named Enid! That’s so cool!

What would you do if I said I was a stalker?

I would be flattered but also concerned. Hehe.

Panic! At The Disco

They have that album called Pretty Odd that I like! I’ve only listened to some of it though. They touched on baroque pop, which is sick. I love baroque pop.

Wolf can speak if he wishes! Or walk away and start training. Lol. Here are the most recent posts in our character group:

Jasper

“Every weapon strikes my fancy.” Jasper chuckled, shaking his head at himself. “When I wish to distract myself from something, I experiment with new weapons. I have a preference for the one on my hip.…

It’s nice to meet you. :] Always good to see a new face.

I’m REALLY excited to be here. I totally wasn’t checking my inbox obsessively to see if I’d got my account details yet😅.

Are you a stalker? XD Just kidding. Hehe… I was the same. I’m sorry if there was a delay because we couldn’t set up new accounts for a while.

Sure, I’ll ask Paul some questions!

Hello, Paul. It’s nice to make your acquaintance.

Where are you from?

Do you have a family? Are there any people who have influenced your life positively, and who are they?

Would you tell me about this siege you’re preparing for?

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

I wrote out a detailed response to this, but my post didn’t go through. 😒 So I’ll try again.

I think it’s a flawed adaptation but a quality modern film. It is very stylistically “Christopher Nolan” which is exactly why it is flawed yet still quality.

As an adaptation, it gets several things wrong – the b…[Read more]

In his world “elf” is a racial slur. *narrows eyes at Koshka*

Of course it is. XD I will never speak that word around Inglor again.

He has heightened senses generally, talks to trees, and is ridiculously agile.

So Inglor is a monkey. 😀

For instance, a stranger traveling through the Wode expects to see lots of animals, maybe a r…

Wouldn’t it be great to own an ice cream or candy shop, and spend your days making pretty treats?

…If cereal has a lot of milk, is it a soup?

Hmm. I don’t know. It’s not cooked, so I’m a little skeptical. Not to mention, soup is savory. But I am willing to be persuaded.

……Are burritos/tacos a sandwich?

Decidedly no. Sandwiches are made from two pieces of bread with another type of food in between them.

………Is ice cream beautiful?…

There’s a reason I don’t drink caffeine.

I have a lot of things to thank God for, and this is certainly one of them. I can practically feel your radioactive energy shooting out of my screen.

Wouldn’t you believe it, I’ve never been asked this question. Huh.

I actually have neutral opinions when it comes…[Read more]

You’re crazy. I like you.

Hello noob. You sound cool. :]

I must ask, how would you explain your summer novel, comic, D&D campaign, and metroidvania? Give me a little summary of each one, if you like. Or not. Whatever you would deign to tell a stranger.

It sounds like a challenge to combine steampunk, which is a genre built around retrofuturism and the…[Read more]

See, a perfect sphere is pretty, but something broken, something sharp – that could cut bonds.

Aaaahhh.

This is not just a straightforward evolution. You’re smelting off the dross.

Inglor is an elfling? Does he have any fantastical elvish abilities or talents?

…And this is the French Revolution? O.O

Ye. The whole story feels…[Read more]

Goodness, that was a rant you did not ask for. XD My apologies. It’s your turn to rant about something.

Someone may have asked this question before. But I’ll ask it. Do you have a current writing project, and what is it about?

hmm.. I like Kate ( though that seems predictable, but I sort of understand her).

Maybe it’s not that crazy to say this, but I think she’s a pretty unique kid and I’ve always loved her for that. She’s so unapologetically energetic but practical at the same time. And she carries the team several times.

There’s clevernes…

[Read more]

It’s his rock bottom.

😧

Inglor, no… I’m so sorry. I did not mean to lead your author to this idea. Please forgive me.

The poor guy probably doesn’t deserve to lose his rock. I vote he and his rock live happily ever after together, the end.

Is the project disconcerted as well?

Yes it is intensely disconcerted. It wasn’t even s…[Read more]

Really? *feels imense satisfaction*

Indeed. XD I hope Inglor finds constant hope under this vague doom you speak of.

I am both intrigued and concerned lol.

I am also concerned and I happen to be the writer of this… thing

Somehow, even though whenever we actually write in his story he’s a bundle of adventureous dreams and joy, he has always had this doom hanging over him.

His name somehow communicates that to me. Not concretely, but you know what I mean. It sounds dreamy to me, but also a little foreboding because of the –lor ending.

I think his s…

Thank you for contributing these lovely little memes today.

You need to tell me who Inglor is. I am a touch concerned for him. 😅 It sounds like he thinks he’s okay and he isn’t really okay.

Also, Remi meme! Heehee! I… may or may not be writing a novella for him. That may or may not be happening as we speak.
