New Question 1: Would you rather be stuck on an island alone or with someone who talks nonstop?

Nithel: “Someone who speaks.”

Avigail: … Her heart aches a bit, “How long are we to be on the island?”

Ratul: “As long as it takes.”

Avigail: “As long as it takes for what?”

Ratul: “For you to go crazy.” Avigail looks down, Nithel taking a step…[Read more]

Hi, thanks for the invitation.

I remember stalking this thread last September, figuring it was a bit late to join, and then later forgetting about it XD.

I don’t have anything to add right now and I may not post often, but I’ll participate if I find a chance.

Good afternoon all, Ember and I were talking this morning about some characters I wanted to add, and I had an idea.Now, just to be clear, this idea has been approved by Ember if y’all like it then we can keep it. I am not going to be offended if you guys don’t like this idea or…[Read more]

“Logan,” Rhioe whispered, shaking her head, “I have. I can’t hold this against you, it wasn’t your choice.”

Rhioe let out a shaky breath and wiped her tears away with the back of her hand. She knew that even if she said that, he wouldn’t be…[Read more]

Logan gazed up at Rhioe for a moment. Wondering if she could really mean that. How had she read his thoughts? And she was so sad! This had hurt her so deeply. He had hurt her. He could hardly bear the thought. He reached out and taking one of her hands, squeezed…[Read more]

Rhioe tried to offer a smile, but her lips wouldn’t turn upward, it was like her face was stone. Logan’s eyes were glimmering sadly, something inexpressible, this feeling she felt, what was it? Logan’s voice seemed to almost quiver as he spoke…[Read more]

@urwen-starial @dakota @kayla-skywriter @esmeralda-gramilton @naiya-dyani @mayacat

Logan reached out and hand and squeezed Rhioe’s shoulder. “I’m sorry,” he whispered. The words seemed meaningless and flat. Logan knelt down by the couch Rhioe lay on, “I’m so sorry Rhioe!”  What could he say. How could he possibly help the pain he’d caused. W…[Read more]

“. . . Logan?”

He was blinking back tears that he didn’t want to fall. Rhioe leaned forward.

“Please, tell me why you’re crying.”

“It went well from a government perspective.” He said quietly, “B-but. . .” His voice failed him.

“Jin got arre…[Read more]

Glancing at Rhioe, Logan opened his mouth to speak. But, seeing her face, he stopped and dropped his face into his hands. What could he say? He couldn’t say it had gone well. Though as far as the law went it had. Rhioe was watching him with such an anxious, e…[Read more]

@dakota I love “My Heart for You” – it’s so absolutely beautiful, and it reflects my own struggles, too <3 Thank you for sharing these poems with us!

Ri: *rummaging through his closet* I don’t have anything to wear, what should I change into?

Clear, from across the hall and beyond two doors: A better person.

Dark: Your boyfriend is dumb.

Cloudy: Ri literally got his croc stuck in an escalator and started crying,…[Read more]

Here’s the next chapter, this one again from Tamarin’s POV. He has a traumatic flashback in this one, and I’m not sure yet if I’ll keep it in there or not. His chapters are cross-posted in my WIP, so if it doesn’t make sense, I’ll prolly take…[Read more]

Rhioe was still sitting on the sofa where Logan had left her, but thanks to Leona, her ankle was splinted and the pain had lessened. The house was filled with a comfortable silence that Rhioe had soon grown accustomed to, when suddenly, the door burst open…[Read more]

@dakota @mayacat @urwen-starial @kayla-skywriter @esmeralda-gramilton @naiya-dyani

Turning to the door, Logan opened it. Ian and Korynth stepped in. The warmth of the inside of the house seemed to stun Ian for a moment, so unusually Korynth was the first to speak.

“Outopian Police! Jin; You’re under arrest,”

Logan stepped out of their way.…[Read more]

“Rhioe is safe. I’ll do everything I can to make sure she stays safe. You can rest your mind on that,” Logan said firmly. His words were comforting, and somehow, Jin knew that Logan would keep his promise.

“Thank you.” Logan nodded slowly. He looked…[Read more]

@dakota @mayacat @urwen-starial @kayla-skywriter @esmeralda-gramilton @naiya-dyani

Korynth nodded again, then shivered, “We’d better get going though,”

“You’re right,” Ian choked down a cough as they started walking. Pain shot through his chest and he grunted. He heard Korynth sigh heavily. Biting his lip, he tried to hold back another cou…[Read more]

@dakota @mayacat @urwen-starial @kayla-skywriter @esmeralda-gramilton @naiya-dyani

Logan swallowed. Thinking of Rhioe brought all his conflicted emotions rushing back. Yes. Jin was her friend. Again he regretted even coming to make this arrest and longed to go back to Rhioe and forget about the whole thing. But he knew he had to stay here until…[Read more]

Two shadowy figures walked swiftly down the dark street. A group of children playing by the corner of a building looked up at the rhythmic sound of the heavy boots. Their eyes wide…[Read more]
