Kit is ready to bicker when Cahira is XD

XD I’m sorry I haven’t responded earlier, but I’ll whip up a response pronto!

I think it’s about time to start a new challenge!

Sounds good!

I’m actually going to be really busy for the next two days, but I think that should be enough time to allow everyone else to finish up!  Feel free to go ahea…

CONROY

“Calix!” a woman screams from behind me.

I leap back, pressing myself into a dark corner. I like dark corners.

The lady stands only a few feet away. She looks really sad like she’s about to cry. She’s staring after a guy who’s running away, but she doesn’t move.

I scrunch up my face. Weird. But this entire place was weird, so it wasn’t…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress

I’d love to! Eve will likely still be near the entrance, and I’m gonna write a thing with Calix here, so you can interact with either one of them!

Great! I’ll whip up post here shortly.

@e-nleonard

I just had to mention how much I LOVE your profile picture! The quill is especially lovely. 🙂

@mamaauthoress

Oops, I didn’t see your post until I posted mine. Would you still like them to interact with Conroy?

CONROY

Everything is super quiet. I’m all by myself.

No castles guys, no crazy giants, no screaming people.

Just me.

I wipe at my eyes. They’re watering. A lot.

“Hello?” I call out into the empty hallway. My voice echoes.

It’s dark in here. I don’t like it.

Where is everybody?

“Miss Val? Mr. Abirami? Is anyone here?” I cry more…[Read more]

@calidris

Also…I have a rather cursed idea for the next challenge: the characters have to participate in a very difficult challenge, and if they refuse or fail they have to walk in a fashion show as punishment XD

@rose-colored-fancy was thinking that the challenge could involve making the characters give up something valuable to them – not nec…

@calidris

I actually had an idea that I could sub in Kit for that interaction instead, because he’s way more…umm…assertive than Val, with the added bonus of his own puffed up ego.  I think it would be funny to see them clash XD

Ooooh, that’s a good idea! I would love to write her reaction to him since she’s not really big on people seeing her as an equal.

Cahira:

The horns blare outside with that unrelenting force that I know will eventually pull every human in the city from their bed, except for me. I’m already awake and out of bed.

I meticulously study my reflection in the mirror. My birthmark is dull after powdering it but still visible which is quite irking for someone of my significance.…[Read more]

@calidris

I’m going to go ahead and get started on that new challenge!

Great! I’ll follow your lead.

I’m really, REALLY looking forward to this next challenge XD

So am I. I’ve got some…interesting ideas.

Hello all!

@mamaauthoress

Your characters seem cool! I love sibling duos! (or trios)

My character in the castle is Conroy Flinston, an eight-year-old boy who just happens to be a spy. He’s had little training in basic manners (he will learn eventually XD) and is currently being held as a hostage by the castle and is in desperate need of being…[Read more]

CONROY

I flew back, smashing into the wall. I glanced fearfully at the giant. Was he going to start another fight? I searched the room for a good hiding spot.

None.

If the giant attacked, I was as good as dead.

The giant drew out his sword.

I whimpered, pressing myself against the wall. Goodbye world!

But the giant didn’t attack. Instead, he…[Read more]

@calidris

I’ve never actually seen it!  Is it good?

I, personally, loved the movie. 😀 I actually hated it for a while because it gave me nightmares when I was little XD

Incidentally, I actually introduced Kit because I wanted to explore that kind of dynamic in my own story!  And then he demanded a love interest, and then he demanded pink hai…

*hands Ehud a box of napkins*

Idk…probably??

Poor kid.

@calidris

yeah, Basil’s interesting to me because his concept is dark and kind of disturbing, but he isn’t self aware enough to realize it XD  He certainly lacks awareness, but even if someone were to point it out to him he couldn’t care less.  I think that’s on…

@this-is-not-an-alien

Oh no…poor Ehud! Has he told anyone that he took the ring? Or is he keeping it to himself?

@ethan-leonard

I’m going to have to side with what @lady-grace said. Enydd would hate me forever if I let her die in here. XD

ENYDD: You were actually considering it! And after I’ve been so cooperative too!

ME: Irrelevant.

ENYDD: Irrelevant?! I swear that I-

ME: And into the book you go!

@calidris

That post was hilarious! (also rather sad…[Read more]

@everyone

I’m going to pull Enydd out. She’s grown a lot here, and I don’t think I’ll uncover more about here. (Not to mention that she’d probably have a nervous breakdown at the beginning of the fight. XD)

@calidris

I feel for this new character of yours. XD

Your Character: Where exactly am-

Castle: Deepest regret! Go!

CONROY

I was confused. The castle was flashing pictures on the screen. The things seemed bad, but why?

I looked at the people around me. They were broken.

An ache tugged at my heart.

I shook my head violently. That was their problem to deal with. Not mine.

I closed my eyes and covered my ears so that I could at least block out the hurt.

At…[Read more]

These poor, poor characters…

ENYDD

I watched in horror as regret after regret was revealed, my heart aching with each person. They all had suffered so much.

And now the castle was opening wounds, making them relive the experience. Was there no forgiveness? No grace?

“Enydd Skovgaard, it is your turn to tell of your deepest regret,” the…[Read more]
