Me trying to get Isaias to tell me his deepest regret (he took way longer than Jade to figure out):

Me: Isaias?

Isaias: Eh?

Me: What’s your deepest regret?

Isaias: *in a singsong voice* I live with no re-grets and fist bump ev-er-y day! *starts dancing*

Me: *facepalms* Isaias, could you please be serious?

Isaias: *keeps dancing…[Read more]

There is not really any order, I just knew that Jade would notice the pattern of who went when, so she questioned if there was an order. And then C. Leonard picked up on it.

@emily-waldorf

No, that sounds like everything. A few characters have gone through the challenge: Ku, Abirami, and Jade.

And for a bit of context, Airu was Jade’s cousin, and they were very close.

wait… so, did Airu attack Jade, or attack herself? sorry, I probably should be able to read between the lines, but my mind’s apparently not working right now.

Oh, she killed herself. Sorry if that was confusing.

So

Jade

Ku’s regret reveal left Jade’s skin crawling in horror. When Abirami’s turn came, Jade’s mind raced, trying to figure out how to deal with this diabolical Castle’s challenge. Airu forced herself into Jade’s unwilling thoughts. Hatred for the Benevolents, for herself, and for the…[Read more]

I think it would actually be a good idea to start posting content warnings on posts that have disturbing material in them!

@calidris

I was actually thinking of putting a content warning on mine before I read any of this!

@jared-williams

Yeah, Ku’s ordeal is definitely triggering for us ladies. However, it is an issue that shouldn’t be ign…[Read more]

I have found…*gasps* a language room?! I might have babbled incoherently about grammar structure when I found this place 😂. I think the phrase is “geek out”? If so, that’s what I’m going to do.

I’ve been working on a language for about ten years, but it’s been really getting refined in this past year or so. Thing is, I’m the only one who’s s…[Read more]

Jade

No use in letting another unexpected event delay the dance. Jade ushered Isaias, Abirami, and Ophelia onto the stage.

”Wait,” she said. “Ophelia, you found some sort of music player. Where is that?”

Ophelia shuffled her feet and smiled before gesturing toward the radio’s (?) recess. Why would the girl be nervous over some music? She start…[Read more]

I’ll do it. 🙂Jade will be happy.

@lady-grace

My favorite character is probably myself 😂, Éowyn. I also like Galadriel (cause who doesn’t😂). I can freak people out by mimicking Gollum’s voice perfectly😁

Ah, good job! I can’t even pick two favorites. I end up with about ten every time I try.

Yes, it is! I love acting like Shelob and jabbing my finger in the back of Frodo’s neck— I…

@jared-williams

I’ll definitely be praying! And @calidris  your point about God being honored and not focusing on a specific outcome is what I’ve always thought!

Just a heads up guys, @rose-colored-fancy is currently recovering from a minor surgery, so I think Cal and Ophelia are going to be out of commission for a few days 🙂

Good to know! I wish…[Read more]

Jade

”Quiet, wench!” shouted the weird fire guy, swinging his metal-gloved hand at Jade.

She ducked in time to avoid the blow, but not the fire that suddenly burst from his hand. Searing agony licked the side of her face. She dropped to her knees in shock, cupping her cheek in her hand and screaming. Then she fell silent, and something dee…[Read more]

I really, really love how Jade has started to see past Ophelia’s apparent shallowness. It makes me so happy to read!! It also means I’m writing her right, and that makes me happy too 😀

And I love how Jade just marched up to Saevus and told him to shut up and sit down XD That gave me such a laugh!

Yes, and it’s good for Jade, too! She sees most ot…[Read more]

Isaias

Woah. What kind of crazy was this place? A seven foot Protector on fire? Abirami turning into a wolf? That was kinda cool.

Isaias turned to look at Jade, who’d gone rigid. “Did Abirami really just turn into a wolf?” He bounced on the balls of his feet.

Jade gave him a curt nod. “Yes, long story. Stay with Ophelia.”

Stay? Then was s…[Read more]

Jade

Ugh.

Her plan had been as perfect as circumstances would allow. Everything was even ready. But as Jade stretched at the back of the stage, a wrench threw himself into her plan. Given the weird metal clothing the guy wore, ‘wrench’ described him perfectly. In and of himself, he wouldn’t have been a problem. Now that he was staring down Abira…[Read more]

Jade

Well, wonder of wonders. Who knew people could be surprising, or interesting? And here was seemingly frilly, shallow Ophelia doing a decent job at giving ballet lessons to Abirami of all people.

However, that was not nearly as surprising as Abirami doing well…that is, tolerably.

Jade squealed in shock when he swept her into the air as t…[Read more]

I’ve actually got a lot of flack for having the three kids there in that scene. I am thinking of rewriting that whole scene so either there are no kids, or perhaps keep the teenager and the kid but trim it down a lot… not sure. Any suggestions there would be greatly appreciated!

Trimming it down would help, I think.

but I thi…

@inkhorn

Conroy sounds great! I’m sure he’ll be an interesting addition to the Castle.

@ethan-leonard

I wonder if Lord Castle will like Saevus or not…

@jared-williams

Jade gracefully glided over and stood with her back to me. Her hair smelled of lavender.

Just a little thing, but her hair probably doesn’t smell like that 😂. Honestl…[Read more]
