The Protector—Gabriel

“Relax.” Gabriel adjusted his position, sitting with his legs crossed. “Inhale…hold it…exhale. Calm down your heart rate, it’s distressing you.”

Gabriel avoided Barnes’s question purposefully. What would everyone think if they knew his real age? Maybe they wouldn’t care, or they’d never r…[Read more]

Cassius

“I- I have to be younger… If I was older… I’d have many memories… Why can’t I remember my childhood? Most of it is a blur!… I can’t even remember my father’s face!” Cassius hands shook, his sudden realization. “I can’t believe this… I can’t believe I’ve spent more of my life as them… than as me…” Cassius…[Read more]

Okay, sure. Anyone is welcome to help with the feedback portion even if they don’t want to participate in the writing.

@grcr

Great!

@hybridlore

Okay!

@highscribeofaetherium

Of course you will. You didn’t have a choice!

@rae

Sounds good!

An outline would be purely optional, and for anyone who does make one, i…[Read more]

Cassius

“My age? I… I haven’t thought about my age. I’ve missed so many birthdays because of my diseases… So I’ve lost track. Let’s see… If I was born on the 1209th Jahre… in the month of Epteser the 12th…. And this Jahre is 1228… And it’s already Aymay… Then… I’m 19 years old… No… that can’t be right… I’m too…[Read more]

 Cassius

Cassius watched as Gabriel lay down like an animal. “You look like Leander.” Cassius said plainly. “You should sleep straight with your back on the ground. Your pillow should lift up your head, that will hurt your neck. And you should have a small blanket or pillow underneath the curve of your back.” Cassius pointed…[Read more]

If there’s enough interest, we could try to plan one for late May/early June.

The Protector—Gabriel

The scent of the smoke invaded Gabriel’s nostrils. It sickened him, but he remained silent, listening to Cassius’s talk about pleasure. Internally, he wondered if happiness and pleasure were different, and if they were, how were they different. A small plop sound woke him from his thoughts. H…[Read more]

Cassius and Leander

Cassius woke up. He looked up at the two sitting there. He walked behind them silently. “I do not wish to disturb your bonding, but I smell smoke. Perhaps an imbecile lit part of the maze on fire.” Cassius said with little worry or anxiety in his tone. “I suggest we lea-” Cassius stopped and looked down at the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

How did the doctor visit go?

The Protector—Gabriel

Gabriel hesitated, before sitting on the stone, bringing his knees up to his chest. He tensed at the slightest noises, eyes darting to where Cassius and Leander slept. “Uh… so do you want me talk like the Protector, or like…my other persona? Or just not talk at all.”

@whalekeeper that’s good!!

@whalekeeper

Great!

@whalekeeper

Yay!!

Barnes is self’s >:[      (XD)

Ooops! What I meant to say was “Barnes is selfish >:[”

No “self’s!” +O+ she is SO self’s!!!!!

 Cassius and Prince Leander

“I can tell you are attempting to lift my spirits. But it doesn’t matter.” Cassius had his hand covering part of his face. “But I’ll tell you know… that doesn’t matter. My spirits are always comfortable at lukewarm. They will never go up nor down.” Cassius yawned. “Now. Let’s get some sleep.” His…[Read more]

@rae

You should make a photo copy of the sketch and try out the colors you have in your mind on that, and if you like it, then go for it, but if not, you have the backup. That’s what I always do. I never color the original, I like to keep a backup. Plus, colored pencils tend to smear when mixed with graphite.

@whalekeeper

YES!!! DO!!!

@whalekeeper

Celarent

Those were terrible reasons to not teach. “Why does she work here if she won’t teach us anything?”

@whalekeeper

So you aren’t ugly. You just don’t care for my questions. *raises eyebrow* I shall have to guess. Scared of COVID? Hiding from the police? Part of a circus?

Did you agree to go out with any of these random strangers? Are you married? If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be and why?

The Protector—Gabriel

“Yes, my birthmarks aren’t a mental illness, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t hate me, or judge me. If I was not the Protector, if I didn’t wear the mask, if I didn’t hide the birthmarks, I would have been killed by the people I protect everyday.” Gabriel clears his throat again, v…[Read more]
