UGGHHH EXACTLY!!!

I think it’s especially hard when you have this story you absolutely love, and you’re just scared you won’t do it justice!  Idk about you, but it’s hard thinking about how the story I love so much right now won’t be my best work 20 years in the future…but I mean, you have to start somewhere XD

I would really appreciate…[Read more]

@everyone btw, would you like to have the characters go down one at a time, or get separated into groups?  Because I figured there could be some…rather entertaining backstage interactions (kind of like the ballet, for those who remember) XD

I was originally thinking that all of the characters who chose the fashion show would be separated in a…[Read more]

@calidris @emily-waldorf (yep, that’s me!)

CALIX:

“The room’s shrinking!”

The scream scared me so bad my flinch sent me crashing forward and I bumped Val. She stumbled, which yanked me forward as the crowd thickened and squeezed us.

The walls in front rolled back, splitting as everyone left the room. The darkness in the new room as so thick…[Read more]

Leana gaped and took a step back, before she thought better of it. Don’t let these geezers think you’re afraid of them. She pulled her shoulders back, and waved at the frumpy man, with a fake smile, “Hi?”

(Aw. <3)

Tul looks a bit of a jerk, this way 🧐

TULLIAN

He shifted away from Voltemand. He was still angry with the Voice, and not especially comfortable to be around just now.

Not like the people he was walking toward were any better. The air felt heavier already, and even with all his self-control he was breathing hard by the time he was close enough…[Read more]

TULLIAN/VOLTEMAND

It was dark. Too dark to be canny.

“Where are we?” Tullian’s whisper boomed into echoing space.

Voltemand didn’t answer. He walked forward a few cautious steps, listening.

From somewhere in front of them, a noise like scuffling and whispering from a crowd of people was going on.

“Now would be a good time to do some of your…[Read more]

“Arsene Lupin is my name, young man.” Young man? Alessio raised an eyebrow like Arsene swapped brains with a stereotypical grey-headed grandfather. “Saga died in a ditch somewhere outside Mithril. Isn’t that right, dearest brighter of mine?”

Alessio glanced between them uneasily. That was very specific for a random quip – what happened to…[Read more]

Leana’s eyes nearly jumped from her head. WHAT? “I… Don’t mean to kill anybody?” She leaned close to the door, brows furrowed. At the moment, anyway… 
(She’s never killed anybody. Now, that baby bird she ‘saved’ years ago? Yes..? But that was a horrible accident.)

“You guys alright?”

@calidris no. My mom and sisters are, though! That’s frustrating, but it sounds normal. I think it’s related to my problem. I want my WIP to be absolutely perfect, and I’m scared that if I write it, it won’t be…I know, not the brightest philosophy, but there it is. I love plotting stories! Let me know if you ever think another brain would help–…[Read more]

“Saga Lore Longwei, I’m forty…five years old…” Arsene answered, not fully in control of his mind yet.

“Saga…is that your real name…?” Alessio asked with a very hopeful expression.

…Whoops… Well, no going back now. “Arsene Lupin is my name, young man. Saga died in a ditch somewhere outside of Mithril. Isn’t that right, dearest brother of m…[Read more]

Val:

I glance back as the wall behind me suddenly creaks, rolling forward with a grinding screech.  “The room’s shrinking!” someone yells.  I stumble, yanking Calix forward as the crowd surges around us.  The walls in front roll back, parting as we flee the room.  It’s so much darker in this new room.  I shrink back as people bump into me, brus…[Read more]

Leana bounced on her heels, outside the door. She glanced both ways, down the hall, Am I waking them up? She knocked softly, again, and decided she wouldn’t knock a third time.

I’m going to start the next challenge!  We can still continue our character interactions, if you’d like 🙂

Sounds good!

@emily-waldorf

It’s great to see you back! And, I hope that ankle heals up well.

My two characters are Cahira Beckwith and Conroy Flinston.

Cahira (my MC) is a selfish, spoiled, arrogant girl who is also rath…[Read more]

@calidris

I’m happy to be a resource for you if you want 🙂 XD I’d love an excuse to infodump about plants! It’s also useful knowledge for writing 😁 The plants that can poison you if you smell either are Poison Hemlock and Water Hemlock. They have little toxic spores that can wreak havoc when inhaled, though they won’t necessarily always kill (b…[Read more]

@inkhorn @mamaauthoress I’m going to start the next challenge!  We can still continue our character interactions, if you’d like 🙂

“C-Calix,” the boy wheezes as he takes my hand.  “Calix Meir.”

“Nice to meet you.” I smile as I pull him out of the corner.  He nods, hand trembling.  Are you sure you’re ok?

We can talk about that later.  Right now, I have to find Kit.  I glance around the room, a sharp retort suddenly catching my attention.  Kit’s standing in…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf Lets see…

@mamauthoress has Eve and Calix – siblings who wield immensely powerful magic in their world

@e-n-leonard‘s siblings @lady-grace and @ethan-leonard joined SE!

@e-n-leonard has Mara, who’s actually an antagonist in her story (but I love her so much :’)

@lady-grace has Yarrow, a teen boy in a fantasy…[Read more]

Alessio was in the middle of panicking over Arsene when there was a faint tap on the door. He might’ve tensed if he wasn’t as tense as humanly possible already. There was a sound of a slight jiggling of the lock, and Alessio bit his lip, glancing around.

From the sound – not aggressive. Perhaps dangerous, likely female (there’s just like, the kin…[Read more]

CALIX:

“Well…Usually the castle likes to throw challenges our way,” the girl started. “They’re not deadly as far as I can tell, but they’re awful nonetheless. Last time, we had to share our worst regrets, or have them played out on a screen in front of us …” her voice caught. “It was horrible, and there were some I wish I’d never see…[Read more]
