(Okay! I too must go for the night — talk to you tomorrow!)

Quin’s empty eyes landed on Rúan as he turned. No sign of the boyish light that had so vivaciously made them come alive.

“Sure,” he said, his tone dull and depressed.

Now fully concerned, Rúan knelt beside Quin, but…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf Right?  It was so heartwarming!

Btw, Basil has black eyes 🙂

@mamaauthoress Yes!  You can do it, Ruan!

I think we’re off to a good start, guys!

“Do you … do you mind if I sit with you two?”

Ruan’s asked, sounding uncertain.

Quin looked up at him with blank eyes. No. Go away. Both of you, just please go… His shoulders sagged. “Sure.”

He watched as the tall man knelt down next to him. Even kneeling he was taller than Quin, and as he stared down at him, he seemed to change his mind and…[Read more]

Quin is just not in a position to initiate rn…

I feel that. 😆

Rúan watched as a new boy made his way over to Quin and sat down. Both their faces were solemn.

Quin’s small frame was hunched over, and a seed of guilt and pity earthed itself in the soil of Rúan’s heart.

He was bearing the whole weight of being called out as a murderer.

What a lie.

As if his body had taken initiative, Rúan slowly stood,…[Read more]

@Mamaauthoress thanks! It’s not Ruan’s fault–Quin is just not in a position to initiate rn…

@emily-waldorf — I can try! 😊

@calidris — Rúan is not too touchy-feely, but with a dose of guilt, something similar might happen. 😆

@calidris I KNOWWWWWW my heart melted when so many people just assumed the castle was lying even though nobody knows anything about what happened. :)))

@mamaauthoress Of course!  I think Quin and Basil are about to have some heartfelt discussion about their respective tragic backstories, and from what I know, I think Ruan might have something in common 😉  Maybe he could come over to help comfort Quin?

@emily-waldorf Quin is just too precious!  I absolutely love how just about everyone in the ca…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress Ofc! I don’t know how to get from here to there, so if you could initiate that would be great?

Thank you guys for being so kind … I didn’t want to leave, but things were getting a bit overwhelming with the many posts and me not having any part in them.

@Denali-Christianson — you are right – I should have taken initiative to have Rúan interact with the others. I’m sorry I complained.

I love Niarok and hate writing Rúan’s biting comment…[Read more]

Nithel’s eyes shone just a little and he nodded to Alessio.
“I will do as you say.” He said. Alessio wasn’t sure how to respond to that. Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Alessio didn’t really count himself as a leader but everyone else seemed to…
“Um…right.” Arguing would waste valuable time…
Alessio looked around, trying to gauge every…[Read more]

Quin

“Liar!”

The voice echoed through Quin’s brain, stabbing through the memories. Liar. Didn’t think you could have kept it from them, did you?

A rough hand grabbed his shoulder, and pain gripped his bruised ribs and shot through his missing toes.

“Stop it!” he yelled in Quin’s ear. Quin shrank back and looked up at him in confusi…[Read more]

@denali-christianson,

Erm… I can’t say due to SE guidelines. But it was pretty drastic. 😉

And ok, I’m really really sorry if it’s offensive! This has nothing to do with you personally, just family rules. And I’m going to bring it up on Tuesday and see if we can figure out a way to get you back in without compromising our family rules. 🙂

@taylorclogston

Huh, I never thought of cereal from that angle.

And if hotdogs are a type of open sandwich, does that mean canapes are also open faced sandwiches but just mini sized? (the only reason I know about canapes was from recently watching a baking show and having to look the term up XD)

Oh dude. Hot cocoa wins every time (my younger…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

*whispers* I think they’ve all gone mad from frying their brains over hot button topics….

@crazywriter

You know, I’ve never thought much on food taxonomy until today… lol.

@denali-Christianson

Lol, I have no idea. I don’t really  think to much on food taxonomy

@mamaauthoress you have to leave Ruan in!  I’m so sorry we’ve been leaving you out!  That really feels bad, and it wasn’t our intention at all 🙁

Something that’s been working out better is coordinating with other people in order to work stuff out between characters.  If Ruan’s still sitting near Quin, Basil could start a conversation with him -…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

Wowww I have a bad habit of double posting… I’m sooo sorry.

Don’t worry about it! I don’t mind at all!

Also this is so random but I’m curious how Niarok would react if I pulled Yila.

Okay no. I’m not doing that.

Even the idea breaks my heart 😭

That’s such a thing though! I mean, I’m like that. I’m an extrovert but I don’t l…

@mamaauthoress

Nooooo, leave Ruan here!!! I love him, and I’m just starting to get to know him. Also, Quin’s still sitting next to him–the Castle interrupted their talk and now Basil is (was) shouting at him, but he’s right there, if that helps any. 🙂 Sorry you’re feeling a little left out of the action–that’s no fun. :((
