Nithel scooches onward, sweat slides into his eyes and burns. His sword keeps scraping along the sidewall, and he tries to move it to his back, where it just slides along the bottom stones a bit. He tries to get to Alessio, whom he assumes has stopped, still looking ahead.

His heart feels like it’s split apart, his lungs refusing to take in air.…[Read more]

Julian laughed and sat up. “Finn here is just as… shocked as I was to find out you to are more than friends. Also, please just throw a rock at his head or something to wake him up. Don’t be all disgusting about it.”

Hi Everybody!
I’ll be bringing in a fellow!

Name: Nithel

Age: 6,542 (He used to look it, wrinkled face, yards of white hair and beard. But he only looks 30, now, and will only admit to being ‘about forty’.)

Personality: *tempted to just let you find out*
He shies away from leadership, except with…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller

Woah, sorry, I didn’t mean to get super personal….

I, uh, yeah, either way that was incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much!

Is there like a series of events that happen during the process of getting drunk? (headaches, sweating, etc.)

@this-is-not-an-alien

*tiptoes to Castle 2.5* *hides/doesn’t like new people* *hesitantly peaks out/looks over comments*

Sure! *re-reads* WAIT. IS THIS YOUR FAMILY???
IT ISSSS. Aw. Is this the baby brother I’ve heard so much about? 🥰

😄

I’m a bit confused by what they’re doing, though…  *sinks back into hole*
Are they introducing their c…[Read more]

@kimlikesart Oi, since this character castle be so slow, do you want Nithel and Alessio to just appear in the Character Castle 2.5 that’s just started?

I’m good either way 🙂

Alessio glanced back, for the first time realizing Nithel wasn’t right behind him. That hadn’t even occurred to him. Alessio left him.

You’re not good for anything except running away. You really are just a coward.

He just didn’t want to hold Nithel back, Nithel wouldn’t have gone in without Alessio.

But you would.

It was an accident,…[Read more]

[I’ll also talk a bit about frostbite below]

Pneumonia is a significant possibility due to aspirated water – that is, if he inhaled any water during the initial splash, or if he was under water long enough that he involuntarily gasped for air and inhaled water instead. Natural water isn’t purified and there isn’t really any telling what…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller

[If you want to know more about frostbite, let me know and I’ll do a write-up on that too]

Since you offered, I’ll also inquire about frostbite

@the-inkspiller

Thank you, that answer was wonderful.
Next question is might he get pneumonia from the experience and how would they handle that?

@skylarynn

Yes! Midwives have known for thousands of years “the kiss of life” to revive newborns who weren’t breathing well on birth. While some overly academic physicians might have “interesting” ideas about resuscitation (such as covering the body in hot coals or pouring hot tea down the throat), your average barber surgeon / village healer…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller

Could a drowning victim be resuscitated in medieval/renaissance times, and how did they handle hypothermia?

The character [a 15yo boy] fell through the ice of a frozen lake at night in the dead of winter and was able to find his way out of the ice before he passed out, but someone else managed to dive in, pull him out of the…[Read more]

*promptly falls over* UH NO ONE IS HOME NOPE NOT AT ALL

@crazywriter. I am, for a little bit.

@joelle-stone

@denali-Christianson

anybody home?

Hi everyone! I’m going to update Arsene Lupin at some point, but I’m going to delay Ziro’s appearance. Sorry. Instead, I’m going to add another character who could use some structure. He might not stay too long though. His name is Akira Kuon.

Personality quirks: somewhat power-hungry, adapt and charge on, outwardly calm, holds onto an honorable…[Read more]

(thumbs up) easter may be over, but don’t worry, the castle event doesn’t have a time limit on it. we can still have lots of fun with it for months to come. =)

@rose-colored-fancy that’s okay! Just take your time. I’m in the process of over-committing, myself…

@Jared-williams Happy Easter! I hope you had a great one. This post looks like so much fun and awesome! I’m afraid I don’t have time to read it now, but I will try when I’m back online in a few days.

@emily-waldorf

Thanks, Emily, I really appreciate it! <3 Everything is slowly sorting itself out but I have still dramatically overcommitted, so it might be a while until I can be active here again. I’m still reading along though!
