No, they declared ceasefire the day after I enlisted.  But I’ve seen the evidence of it.  I’ve seen the dying parents and the dead children.  I’ve… yeah no I haven’t seen battle.  But what’s left behind has got to be worse.

@wordsmith

I didn’t “get separated”.  I left.  Season 7 Episode 3 if you want to watch all the drama, but don’t quote me I don’t watch the thing.

Sandfield… well after the Dunies started the war back up with massacre five years ago, they’ve really been stuck.  They’re in no-man’s land with just the military ba…[Read more]

((HEY GUYS, so yeah I’ve been talking to Josiah and there were some unintentional backdoors in the forum for non-Lumenites to get into our board here.  They have been cut off.  So, I’m not sure if that’s what was causing the vanishing posts, but it was some part of the problem.  But they have been blocked off so pretend they didn’t exist and we…[Read more]

*shifts to prose*

Lance looked at the young man long and hard.  He had to say something.  Liza was his closest contact.  She was just also… not close.  It was time to leave.  But he couldn’t leave he had to just… ugh what was he supposed… wait, ice cream?

“Cookie dough.”

Of course it wasn’t something grown up and professional like “fre…[Read more]

Look, it’s no secret that my brother messed around in the wrong circles and this isn’t the first time he’s run away.  That’s the last question I’m taking on Torrey.  Next?

Hey Evangeline, why did your parents come west?  What did your dad do before?  What did you do before?

(just fyi, Lance hates you both)

Wait is there a type of girl that reads… I  mean no you don’t… I just meant you know with being famous and all, I  yeah no I’m sorry I didn’t.  Wait, I do have friends.  And my family too.  We still talk even though I live in the capital.  Liza called me yesterday.

… … *awkward chuckle* okay… so like I thought y’all were going to ask me about ice cream flavors and stuff.

Dude.
Liza is my sister, she knows because she’s my brother’s sister too, and when famous people go missing people find out.  Except kid who grew up under a rock, I guess.  Again, read the tabloids.  They know what I know. Probably more.  Next?

@scribbles No I mean, they’re called the Colonies.  They just are.  Because of history and stuff.  I think it’s cool.  But not in like a superior way.  I just like the way it sounds.  Honest.

Friends, yeah I have lots of great friends.  Read your tabloids, okay?  (Sorry, was that mean.  I didn’t mean to be rude I… nevermind.  The question.…[Read more]

Lance turned around to set the towel down on the counter.  What was he supposed to do now?  The hot coffee was soaking through his uniform and– Ouch!  Lance sucked in his chest and pulled the fabric away from his skin.  Was there a restroom?  Maybe he could run it under water or…  Another cup sat on the counter with his name on it.  Had he……[Read more]

@scribbles Oh no like… I mean they were.  A long time ago.  But no now they’re independent and stuff.  Yeah, they probably should have changed the name.  I’m mean it’s a cool name though so yeah they should keep it.  I would keep it too.  It’s cool.

@wordsmith What?  No, no I didn’t… What do you mean did I kill him.  He did.  And he’s not d…[Read more]

@scribbles Now you can’t.  (But seriously how about no for now.  It’s going to be chaos enough for a little while.)

((Oh wow, @happyholly_c, that sounds cool!  Have you read Ted Dekker’s 30 A.D?  They’re not my favorite books, but they’re a similar idea to yours.))

Lance turned around to face young woman.  He felt heat rise to his cheeks and nearly chewed off the tip of his tongue before forcing a smile.  “Oh I… um… thanks.”  The towel, wet with some sort…[Read more]

Oh nice to meet you too.  No, you can call me whatever.  I mean Lance.  You can call me Lance.  Or Captain, that’s fine too.  Yeah sorry, whatever is cool.  And um… what was your other question?  Oh, yeah, I’m Betean.  My Grandma was from the Colonies though.  Mom’s side.

@graceabounds2129 Oh yeah, that’s fantastic.  I’ll add that to the rules.

Eventually, we’ll branch out and start more lounges.   For now though I’d like to keep it to just one so that we can all get started together.

@scribbles Oh, no, definitely use your current character.  There’s a heavy amount of suspension of disbelief required for character lounges, and they normally spiral into chaos, but that’s okay.

So yeah, throw whoever in there.  (Is it a squirrel?  It’s a squirrel isn’t it.)

@wordsmith, yeah, what @scribbles said.  (Thanks, Rachel.  I should have had you do the explaining of everything.)

@wordsmith Good question. (See, bad at explaining lol)

The “Character Board” is just the three new subforums we added to Rillumen last night.  You can find it on Rillumen’s home page, or here.
