whaley the great and terrible

Ari

“A what?” he yelled, eyes squeezed shut. Moth laughed.

“Me neither! It is a fun ride, is it not?”

Fun wasn’t the work he would have chosen, but it was certainly exciting, as long as he didn’t slip and die. Much like tying himself behind a dozen wild horses and hoping he didn’t end up dragged to a pulp.

Honestly, he might have…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @koshka

I love this. It’s madness. Wow. XD

Wurmssssssss.

@whalekeeper

@koshka

Oh.

my.

Word.

what am i reading?

@whalekeeper

Sorry if his mood or personality is inconsistent. He’s still very underdeveloped.

Ellis

Ellis looked at Callum without turning his head. He didn’t really understand the issue. The awkward silence had gone by him unnoticed.

“Don’t apologize to me. You’re a prince. You can speak or not as you please. My elder brother talks even l…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

You don’t like worms?? Oh no!! XD I didn’t stop to think you might be squeamish.

Lol. XP

Ari

Breath in his throat, ears ringing. No time to think. He dove for Moth’s outstretched hand.

Not that he didn’t think. But with all the blood, slime, and darkness, this could easily get beyond what he’d ever want to think of aga…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

This is literally a childhood nightmare of mine. Wormmmmmssss…=|

I am quite content with whatever length you prefer to write. :]

Yay. XD

Ari

Ah. So this is what Moth had meant by squeamish. Wonderful.

Worms didn’t eat living creatures, did they? He watched the glistering beasts, hand on his dagger, eyes darkly livid. Daring one…[Read more]

@whalekeeper What does Callum look like?

@whalekeeper

Ari

Thunder rolling in the earth quivered up from his feet to his spine. The ground shook, cracked. Changed.

Ari swore–fervently. He had the sense that more devout people would have prayed. But considering they were all dead…

He swore again.

@whalekeeper

Ari

That was…oddly specific. And like nothing he’d heard of before.

If he didn’t already prefer having his eyes and tongue inside his head, being lost to his family was almost appealing. He shrugged.

“That sounds uncomfortable. So what are doing?”

@whalekeeper

XD

Ari

Moth disappeared through the roof in a last swirl of gold and dust. Silence settled in the shadows.

He hadn’t realized how much the bright younger boy had chased those shadows away. At least for a little while. Ari turned his back on the darkened room.

Time to break curfew. Again. The stairs creaked under his feet as he…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

If it helps, he does eventually figure things out and have a relatively happy life.

Ari

Squeamish? He hesitated a moment, considering what that was supposed to mean. He’d hunted and cleaned deer, helped in the stables, and patched up uncountable injuries of his own. He’d even helped burry a few of his father’s political enemies, as…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ari… Are you ok?

Eh….XD I’ll let you come to your own conclusions.

Ari

Collecting stories. He followed Moth’s gaze up to the hole in the roof. Here he was, sitting on another boy’s floor, talking about stories like they were something you could gather up in a box.

Maybe they were. Maybe you could.

“I suppose I wouldn’t mind. H…[Read more]

Ahhhhh it atenmy reply.

@whalekeeper

Ari

Adventures…in his world those usually included being tied up or locked in a closet. Or that’s what his brother’s called it. He had a feeling that wasn’t the type Moth was thinking about.

He licked the honey off his fingers, considering. Not much light filtered through the small square in the roof. Not…[Read more]

@whalekeeper remember that thing where it was the character hunger games you made?

I actually found a simulator like that and ran all of my characters plus a couple others too.

Soldier won. Which I know was by chance but it was very in character for him lol. He also discovered a cave twice.

Interestingly, Sniper and Crosshair actually…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ellis

“Oh, that’s a bit difficult to answer.” Ellis leaned back and looked up at the sky as he thought. When he finally spoke again, his voice was distant, lost in the memory of a dream. “I remember… flying. Or falling; I couldn’t tell. A wall of stone bricks was about a foot away from my face, speeding past in a grey blur. I…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ari

This fairie King liked asking questions.

“Well, I…” He paused. What was left? His half-brothers were good at everything that mattered–warriors, diplomats, judges– “Haven’t really thought about it. What do you like to do?”

@whalekeeper

Ari

Breaf and honey. His mouth curved up despite himself. He took the food.

“I don’t think so, or at least…”

At least, not compared to the legends of his dead cousins.

“… Not yet.”

His fingers burned at the remembered thrum of wood, sinew, and feather singing from shot and shot. He shoved a bite of bread into his mouth to…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

“Depends on how you define friends. There’s a fellow in archery that doesn’t seem to mind practicing with me.”

“People usually don’t stick around after our first meeting.” Although, he didn’t typically end up sitting on a student’s bedroom floor talking about family and friends. He studied the dust swirling around them.

How did he get here?

@ellette-giselle Good. =D

@whalekeeper

Ari

His mother? He sat down and folded his arms across his drawn up knees.

This boy didn’t know about his family. His chin came up a fraction. There would be no misinformation or preconceived motions to combat.

“She’s a beautiful woman. Gracious, gentle hearted, a true queen. She’s a noblewoman by birth…[Read more]
