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.

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.

Ellis

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

And I just asked Ellis a question. XD

He can answer or not or just shrug.

*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.

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

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.

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?”

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.”

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]

Jack

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

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!

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 👍

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

You haven’t been to college 😂

but i’m still an adult

I know. *hands you wrinkle cream*

@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]

You haven’t gone to college, have you?

I’m left out! *sulks*

Tagging some old people

Oh my gracious. XD

What Elishavet said and also:

From the perspective of someone who’s both attended college, is attending college, and has worked in college admissions offices…Remember, colleges want students. Colleges need students. They will be looking for reasons to make you pick them, not reasons to…[Read more]

Hi! I’m interesting in learning about that book once it’s published!

I haven’t had much time for either writing or KP lately, between school, dance, and work. I’m a senior now so I’m trying to figure what I want to do with my life as an adult.😅 I have an interview with the college I want to go to on Wednesday so that’s exciting…[Read more]

Awww cutee!

Lucian now has brown hair because I can’t stop imagining him like that so I might as well change it.

@whalekeeper

Lucian

When he heard the voice, he immediately straightened his posture and wiped some apple juice off of his lip with his thumb. A girl stood there, with a broom and a bucket sitting next to her. He stepped out of…[Read more]

Oh

the roleplay gods (aka Loops)

I pronounced that Moth-er and that is somehow quite fitting.

Ari

The tension in his shoulders eased slightly. He nodded and pushed away from the table.

“Come on then.”

Students still meandered around the courtyard. Clumps of them stood followed various instructors like swarms of bees. Ari headed straight for the…[Read more]

I tried typing Moth and it autocorrected to Mother and I almost started laughing very loudly to myself in public

*Snort laughs in a very public but very empty hallway*

He slowly nodded. Linguistics wasn’t for another three hours–not till after lunch, and of course Choir this evening. The school had tried to saddle him…[Read more]

I like Lucian.

“Folktales. Old stories. From someplace I’m not familiar with. I love reading these kinds of books to my younger siblings.” He flipped the book open, turning pages randomly, until he paused on a page with an illustration of a villainous wolf. It stared up at him hungrily from the page. “They’re full of monsters and magic and…[Read more]

As his frustration simmered down, Lucian realized he hadn’t been paying attention to where his feet were taking him. He paused, turning around to orient himself. He didn’t want to go back inside just yet. Learning and research could wait. If he remembered the map of the school correctly, he wasn’t too far from the stables. He began walking…[Read more]
