I’m not sure if that was what you meant by parmesan, I had to look it up to make sure that wasn’t just something I don’t know about XD

I really like how Jade is opening up and taking control of the dance as well! This is pushing Ophelia really far out of her comfort zone XD

Sorry it took so long for me to respond! Since you said you’ll handle the character in a Christian way, I don’t mind. After all, I’m dealing with a bunch of narcissists, traitors, and murderers, yet I don’t usually call them that. I love them and know what they’ll grow into: joyful, noble, humble. I’m sure it’s similar with you and…[Read more]

😂  Jade works at a fish farm and absolutely hates it, so a lot of negative fish sayings make their way into her vocabulary.

@rose-colored-fancy   Nice drawings of Cal! The hair is really cool.

Jade paused in her dance to evaluate it just as Ophelia came near.

”Don’t make it too complicated. You can improvise; I’ll follow your lead. It’s ha…[Read more]

@jared-williams   Making Isaias dance is a great idea! 😂

What the stupid flopping fish was that?! Jade closed her eyes and reminded herself that these people could be from anywhere. Who knew what was normal in their worlds?

”Let’s go through the five basic foot positions,” said Jade. “Watch. First position, plié. Second, plié. Third, plié…[Read more]

😂 that worm thing was so funny, and it would totally freak Jade out because she’s only been around normal humans.

Oh weird, it didn’t tag you right. I’ll just do it again.

@rose-colored-fancy

😁 this is going to be awesome! @jared-williams  and  @rose-colored-fancy  you did a good job with Jade! She would definitely love having that power and would not hesitate to use it.

Yes. Dancing! Jade pulled her crazy blonde curls up into a bun and proceeded to stretch with a Cheshire Cat grin stretched across her face. Since Abirami was ser…[Read more]

That was awesome! 😂

They were gone. All gone, finally. Jade was torn between dropping to the floor in uncharacteristic hysterics or… “Well, Castle, what next?” she asked.

Rosemary laughed at her sour expression. Nothing ever threw Rosemary. Not even the eccentric group around them. Jade had seen moderately dyed hair before, but never…[Read more]

😁 What a marvelous situation I have walked in on!

Jade snapped her head from side to side. This was too familiar. Then she saw the threat: bugs of all things, but at least they weren’t Protectors, the Benevolents’ minions.

“Up there,” said Alaric, gesturing toward a doorway up high on the wall. “Come on.”

Jade assessed the room for other op…[Read more]

Rosemary turned toward the sound of Miss Painted Face and Alaric’s conversation. Jade reluctantly turned with her.

”I’ve never seen so many strangers in my life,” said Rosemary.

”We’ve never seen any, you mean, until now.” Jade braced herself for another conversation with the princeling brat, now with the added benefit of — another dancer! O…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf  😂 If Rosemary sees Alaric’s hands, she’s going to demand medical supplies.

@emily-waldorf  Yep. Permanently damaged. 😂 You did good at writing Jade, too.

Jade glared at the well-dressed brat. The price of his clothes would support an entire tenement of Culled for a month. “And just who do you think you are?” she said, hands on her hips. “Maybe you could learn to hold your own tongue, but I think your position is irr…[Read more]

The current situation seems to be a glare-down sarcasm match between Jade and Lorcan.

Ooh, another Rosemary! Good thing she’s not in here or it might get confusing! 😂

@calidris  Those characters sound interesting and well developed. This castle is going to be a marvelous chaos. *writer grins and the characters despair*

@emily-waldorf  Thanks! She was so kind as to tell me her first name. It took me a while to figure out her last name, but it turned out perfect, satisfying picky me. 😂

Good to know that about Avin. Thankfully Jade is not the sort to poke at those things since she’s pretty much “the bottom of the barrel” in her world, excepting her dance skills…[Read more]

“Jade Nightingale,” she replied, glaring at his bold, proud gaze.

Suddenly another form emerged from the shadows, and with the tail of her eye Jade caught it leaning against the wall. She turned toward the fellow, who cocked his head just like Rosemary sometimes would, but there was no absentminded contemplation in his look, only coolness and des…[Read more]

That’s my goal, Inkhorn. I’ve been having trouble with before-character-arc-Jade. Rosemary has been easier and gives me great quote snippets. 😂

@rose-colored-fancy

Ophelia and Calliope sound awesome! That was a good explanation of their characters. Ophelia and Jade interacting could get really interesting. Jade has a grudging respect toward oth…[Read more]

Nice to meet you, too, @emily-waldorf and @irishcelticflowercrown (nice tag, by the way!)

Thanks so much for the explanation. This castle sounds exactly like what Jade needs if she’s going to be my protagonist. 😂

Once Rosemary gained her feet, she strode over to Avin but didn’t get there before causing another disaster, bumping her head…[Read more]

Yes, someone was certainly coming.

Two girls appear in the castle’s central room.

“Fascinating,” says Rosemary, ” a character castle.”

Jade notices all the other characters and cringes. Then she stands up straight and glares at them all.  Cringing won’t help her conquer the world. At least none of them will try to shake hands if she glares…[Read more]
