Here’s a character castle run-down:
This is where your characters get to interact with others’. You can flex your character by pushing them out of (or into!) their comfort zone, interacting with them outside of the context of your novel, or experimenting with aspects of them that you never see.
The castle itself is just a collection of rooms that the characters go into and prowl around. You may make up rooms at will. This particular castle is sentient and sadistic, so whenever Lord Castle (that’s what we call him; or just “the Castle”) decides that the characters are getting along too nicely, he tries to kill them by sending challenges. (One of the last ones was a dragon with a captive situation. The captives turned out to be the characters’ worst enemies.)
The way you interact is just by…well, interacting. You have complete control over your own character(s). You are free to make others’ characters act/speak/respond, but the character’s owner has the final say and can change it at any time. (I can make Jade talk, but if you don’t like it you can change it).
It’s costomary to give a run-down of the characters already in the castle, but I have no idea anymore since we’ve been inactive so long. So! I will tag the people I remember being in here, and we can go from there.
@irishcelticredflowercrown Neasa!
@rose-colored-fancy Rose!
@inkhorn Inkhorn!
@denali-christianson Denali! (out of town)
@rusted-knight (Haven’t seen him for a while)
@jared-williams Jared!
and of course me, Emily. (tag: @emily-waldorf)
@anyone I missed!
*Shades eyes and looks around. Sees no one at this time of day* Since we’re the only ones here rn, do you want to interact with Avin? Normally I would offer to start the interaction so I can show you how it works, but that is SOOOO not Avin I don’t think I can. So I’ll give you a pointer. Just walk up and start talking. Or if you want to spice it up a bit, have jade walk up and slap him. Or anything you please. 🙂
