Oh. Why would you like to go to the fairie realm?

“I’m… curious. Who wouldn’t be? They’re very mysterious. And they visit our realm all the time. It’s not fair we don’t get to see theirs.”

How has your kingdom made alliances with the fairies before? Do you know the details of how that happened?

“I am mostly referring to legends and ru…[Read more]

You’ve already got some wonderful stuff, but I’ll throw some more in because I too have free will.

Tsar Peter the great tried to run away from his kingdom but didn’t make it onto the ship he was stowaying on because he was too tall to go unnoticed and was recognized.

There’s a Scottish noble family that according to legend has…[Read more]

I have an idea. I might jump forward in time later and also have you interview post-meeting-Rook-and-River Ellis at some point.

Ah. Do you normally have manservants and guardians following you around? That must feel stifling.

“Yes. It is.”

Why do you enjoy hunting and fencing?

“I just find it fun. I enjoy being active and outside.…[Read more]

Splendid, splendid.

Plot twist, I’ve already sourced Redwall for names and one of my previous pets was Mattimeo. 😀

…what was it? I must know pleeeeaaassssse. XD

…but you gave me a good chuckle

My purpose is fulfilled. *bows*

Awesome. *clicks open pen*

What is… your favorite color?

Do you or have you ever had any pets?

How well do you usually do in school? And are you homeschooled or go to public school?

What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

Do you have many hobbies?

Don’t worry. It’s just a questionnaire that’s only for fun. I’ll leave this notepad here when I’m done and you can do whatever you want with it. Read it, show it to your brother, burn it. Does that sound alright to you? And, come on, you can’t say no to snacks.
*opens my ginormous snack bag and offers him a bag of pretzels*

How would you describe yourself in three words?

“Um… Adventurous? I enjoy hunting and similar activities. Then also Seer and Prince. My main duties.”

Who is your best friend?

“Beckett’s not bad. The son of Lord Fenwick in the west. I enjoy talking with him and he is a decent fencer. He helped me get rid of my most recent shadow of a…[Read more]

Hello! How is your day going? Would you like to sit down? I just have a few questions. I also brought some snacks if you’d like.

Ellis: “Yes, alright. I am not busy at the moment. Who are you?”

*climbs in through the window* *sets up a chair in front of the previous interviewer, facing Cosmo*

Okay, my turn. *pulls out notepad and pen* I am here to interview your brother.

This is delicious. *savors the aroma of randomness* I love this story idea already. Leaning into crazy traditions and stuff is a great idea!

…

Sorry, this will be a lot.

I understand. What are you guys studying in college?

Totally understandable. I’m planning to join CWW next year too, so I’ll look forward to you being on there too!

Is anyone…[Read more]

feel free to skip my turn for both my characters. Jack is feeling introverted and Ellis has nothing to say at the moment

Ari

He forced himself to refocus on Moth. He doesn’t want to hurt the target. That might be part of the problem.

“I wouldn’t like to meet a living hay bale. What if you imagine the arrow is a message to the center of the target, and you need to sent it there.”

@beth-torres Thanks! He definitely has it now, although he hasn’t entirely learned how to use it/what he smells.

Now for the RP…

Ellis….XD

Ari

“Yes.” Ari’s eyes brightened at Ellis’s suggestion. He nodded slowly. “More violent than flowers, certainly. I wonder…violence…would likely not be as pleasant for the arrows. Or whatever they hit.”

Ellis

“Maybe think more violent thoughts?” Ellis offered lamely.

I’ve been a bit swamped as well, so your timing is great. XD

Ari

That was… unexpected. He lowered his bow.

“Did you intend for that to happen?”

The thing–flower?–was pretty. Ari walked over to it, heedless of other arrows as he was most safety precautions. He crouched beside the thing but didn’t pick it up. Even in…[Read more]

Lol! Yeah, my friend interrupted my stuttering explanation of this character (an elven prince who risks his life to sneak a little girl to his dad so she can be fostered in safety… Then proceeds to spend the rest of his “immortal” life looking after her.) with the words, “So, he’s attractive?”

I stopped mid sentence, mouth open,…[Read more]

They might…….develop a unique nomadic society.

bruh

i mean that would be kinda cool though.

Although, what do the guys look like of this species? Do they also look like they’ve got dresses? or are they more like some other related species?

I decided the men of Cnidfolk especially are even more rare than the women mainly to avoid this question a little better. I do have a drawing I did for a thing on Unvale that i don’t like s…[Read more]

Hey, shooting stuff is fun.

Just going to pull from my own very limited experience with archery. If someone else has expertise you might need to help. XD

Ari

He hadn’t meant for either of the boys to actually start shooting yet, but Ellis had certainly some idea of what to do, though he used a draw Ari had never tried.…[Read more]

So the queen is an immortal jellyfish? Like the actual species?

Her design is more based off the pacific sea nettle, but I decided that the ability to reverse their ages for Cnidfolk is more like a gift than limited to a certain bloodline

Gabriel: *Pushing her hand back an inch* I bet you will.

Looks very important, perhaps aristocratic,

Interesting. They’re often considered nobility actually. The one in the drawing herself is a queen who has reversed her age so many times she has extended her lifespan beyond what should be possible even for her kind. Yes, I have worldbuilding already XD.

That would make sense. I’m very familiar with my house and it also has a lot of furniture and items, not to mention tile floors that probably make it easier for me to get my bearings. I should try wearing an eyepatch in public then I think. The experiment would be worth the risk explaining to people why on earth I’d be wearing an…[Read more]

Long time no see.

Whaley’s 100% right LOL. I would say in some respects art is harder than writing because at least in writing you have to actually read it to cringe at all the problems, for art you just glance and want to burn it XD.

But hey, I love it when people still give it a shot because it’s a challenge.

I can’t…[Read more]

Calmest reaction XD

Gabriel: *Shrugs* What do you think?

I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! This is going to be so cool! I have waited so long for this!!!

Still figuring that out fully, but I think the main problem is he’s been in my spotlight too long.

@whalekeeper

Yes it is. It’s a concept idea currently.

Gabriel: Maybe you’re superhuman.

@whalekeeper

if I do do this, guess who’s gonna be in it hehe.

@grcr

Very nice! They all look squished or bewildered lol.

I did compile it on Spotify but you’re right, I have yet to listen to the full thing. Though I can already tell you, being familiar with the song, that Ezio’s Family has a nice tone for Gabriel.

Gabriel: *chuckles, putting his arm down* Okay. *Proceeding to let her win.*

Funnily enough, I used to do this with my Dad. I’d flop…[Read more]

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.”

*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.

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]
