Oh oh! He sounds kinda like the Minotaur! I can’t wait to “meet” him/it!
I kinda tried a new style with this (Mostly inspired by your Character Castle 2.0 ‘dream’ posts, @this-is-not-an-alien , and also a bit by @hannahrenner ‘s posts on here.) I don’t know that I’d ever really use this format, but it was fun to write!
Ooh that was fun to read!Meira swung her spear onto her shoulders and dashed across the room, reflecting silver light over the floor until her glowing skin reflected against a wall. With a cry of delight she pressed her hand against it and dashed until her hand broke into thin air.
“Found a door! Ain’t yo coming before you get discombobulat–!” There was a loud scuffle on the other side of the room and Mr Vampire saying something cheeky again. She tilted her head and the spear on her shoulders to the side. “What in human quirkery–?”Connel drew his sword the moment the lights went out. He listened to Tatira’s padded steps to guide him, she was good at finding openings. In the dark anything could attack and that stupid glass girl was just running around screaming like a molting draekon and looking like a far too lively ghost.
This really just wasn’t his day; all the girls here were completely ruthless and not in the cute, enticing sort of way. With the exception of the glass girl who was too dumb to count. He glared at the woman, or at least the noise of the them fighting. Wasting time and energy, this was the team he was supposed to work with?
The catty vampire was yelling at them and the “delicate” girl had run off after hissing back at him.
The bounty-hunter cursed, slamming his sword in his sheath half as a conciliatory sign half to not stab them both on the spot. Without an ability, Connel had had to work harder than any other trainee to claw to top, which was the only way to survive in his world. You didn’t just lash out at someone you hated or you died fast, and you most certainly never let yourself get caught in the act.
“Just leave them to kill each other,” he grumbled to Karayan “they’re having so much fun, and if they die that makes two less competitors.”
I don’t have time to babysit. I work better alone as it is. But it wouldn’t be bad to have a couple scapegoats if any problems arose as they undoubtedly would. He took the liberty of jostling the vampire’s shoulder as he walked past.
“And if they’re ready to be big girls now maybe we can get to the more immediate problem of making it out of here. I’m keeping myself alive if anyone wants to join me, you can all follow that goosechase of your’s and fight invisible egos while you’re at it but there just might be some light down one of the doors so that’s where I’m going.”
He yanked Meira out of the doorway by her hair causing her to swear at the top of her lungs and try to bite him. Automatically slammed her into the wall hard enough she gave a cry of pain and rubbed her chipped glass back with a little whimper. (Which is not going to end well when I get to Meira’s POV (: )I guess I have a “finished” picture of Meira if anyone wants a reference (finished is such a strong word tho most like escaped and I’m done lol!)
