Honestly, I think at this point most would just want to go home😂.
Honestly that’s entirely fair XDHmmm
What if the castle offered to let them experience the fulfillment of their greatest longing as a reward? That could be kind of sad, but also hopeful for the characters who are working for a goal.
Also, some characters might not even be aware of what their greatest longing is…

I’m curious… was it just me or did anyone else have a conversation with their characters about joining SE?
You know, I have actually not had conversations with any of my characters…tbh I’m not exactly sure how that would turn out XDI guess out of all of my characters, Kit’s been the most…vocal about who he is, what his motives are, and what exactly he wants, which is honestly a writer’s dream…except his ideas for his character arc SEVERELY clashed with mine. At this point I’ve given up fighting him, and I guess he’s a more… i n t e r e s t i n g character for it. He’s very spoiled, but I just can’t bring myself to shove him into the Character Timeout Bin (he would cry if I even threatened it), so we’ve come to an agreement that he can wreak as much havoc in my story as he wants as long as he reaps the consequences of his actions XD
Also Sasha’s in the Character Timeout Bin, and if I even crack it open just a teeny tiny bit he’ll escape back into Spire and I absolutely CANNOT have that happen. And that’s also the exact reason why I could never even dream of tossing in Kit too – Sasha would insult his clothes and call him ugly until he cried
But then, other characters just refuse to talk to me. Like, Val is guarding her heart incredibly well, which is problematic because, well…I’M HER WRITER AND I NEED TO KNOW HER MOTIVES OK?
And Basil is a brat and refuses to communicate beyond glaring at me from under a table, but that’s to be expected. He’s being kind of uncooperative, but I might be able to bribe him with food…
Which of your characters are the easiest to talk to?
