Ellis

Ellis went first. He cocked an arrow and raised his bow, desperately thinking back to the few lessons he had years before. He drew the bow and released it. The arrow managed to hit the target, but just barely. At least he hadn’t accidentally shot Ari.

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari

He nodded and picked up the rod.

“Arm.” Ari quickly measured Ellis’s draw length and went back to the rack of bows. A slightly longer recurve would do.

“Here. This one’s about fifteen pounds too. I don’t want you two shooting me with a bow you can’t control. If you’re going to shoot someone it had better be on…[Read more]

Lucian

Lucian seemed to consider this. He continued brushing his horse, not looking over at her.

“No,” he decided after a moment’s pause. “I’m nice.” He finished brushing, gave Onyx’s snout an affectionate pat, and then tossed the brush back.

@koshka @whalekeeper

Ellis

He shook his head. “I haven’t done archery in a long while. You may need to teach me as well.”

@loopylin

And I just asked Ellis a question. XD

He can answer or not or just shrug.

I Am Alive!!!!!

*Ahem*

@loppylin @whalekeeper

I love the cat. Such attitude, such floof.

Ari

Rythmic thuds of broadheads into targets pulsed as a heartbeat. Only a handful of students were practicing, their vows a range from graceful limbed recurves to longbows as tall as their archers. High windows some fifteen feet up the outer wall let in…[Read more]

Lucian

“You’ve never worked for nobility before, have you?” Lucian said. He did what she wanted anyway, feeling mildly amused. Onyx didn’t seem to understand what he was doing at first and pulled her head away, but after some gentle coaxing under his breath, he was able to get her to stay still.

@power

I asked my dad and it’s a college. XD  Average class size is 13, so definitely small.

(Got paid to go to college 🤣)

Lol, nice.

I think my interview went well. It was enjoyable at least, and at a coffee shop so I got coffee out of it. XD

@whalekeeper

Lucian

Lucian caught the brush reflexively letting his apple fall and roll across the floor. He looked at it and then over at George, raising one eyebrow.

@whalekeeper

Lucian

Lucian smiled at the informality. At home it would have bothered him, but here it was a sort of relief, not being recognized.

“Lucian.” It felt odd leaving out the full title. “What’s yours?”

@koshka @whalekeeper I am having trouble writing for Ellis rn, so feel free to skip my turn. He’s just there

@whalekeeper

Lucian

“I’m not interesting.” Lucian pulled another apple out of his pocket and began polishing it with his sleeve. Onyx eyed it jealously. “But animals usually seem to like me anyways.” He watched the cat as it found a sunny spot to sit down. “What sort of cat is it? I haven’t seen one that big before.”

@whalekeeper

Lucian

“…Hello,” he said quietly to the cat. He hesitated a long moment, wrestling with his own self-consciousness, then crouched down to pet it. The cat was friendly, and leaned into the strokes. Eventually it got bored though, and slunk out of his reach, but still hovered in the same area. He stood again and attempted to bru…[Read more]

Sorry I have been so slow with roleplays lately

@beth-torres

Jack

“Two. A brother and a sister.” He snapped the book shut with one hand and put it back on the shelf. “You?”

@power

It sounds like you are going to a university?

Is that different? And I think so…

Something you may want to consider, check and see if there are any community colleges around you. You can typically take your core classes (Math, English, Government, US History, etc.) for half the price of a university, especially if you are…

Wishing you luck on your academic endeavors 👍

Thank you!

@theducktator

I know. *hands you wrinkle cream*

HA

I also have not been to college because I am extremely academically burnt out, but I’m glad I seem like someone who possibly has. (Going to ignore the old person comment.)

Sorry I can’t be helpful. Wishing you luck on your academic endeavors 👍

@linus-smallprint

Hillsdale…😬 They only have a 20% acceptance rate.

@ellette-giselle

You haven’t been to college 😂

I know. *hands you wrinkle cream*

Thank you for the advice!

@elishavet-pidyon

Do you know what career or career field you are interested in?

I plan on majoring in politics and economics. I might switch out economics for history, but economics is more likely to get me a job afterwards. I want to run for office at some point, but until I get to the US congress I’ll need another job…[Read more]
