“So you’re not contagious?”  The guy with curly hair clicked his tongue.  “I mean, it’s not just me you’re inconveniencing.  When you cough all over the place like that you’re spraying your diseases all over this entire group.  Plus, we’re not from your world so basic diseases that you carry could probably kill us.”

Oh, goodness. I had never…[Read more]

@calidris

Aww thanks!   That’s exactly what I’m going for, so I guess I’m doing something right!  What’s your new guys’ name, or is it a secret?  I feel bad for him   (and Basil’s definitely not helping things)

You’ll find out soon 🙂

Tbh, Basil is an interesting challenge, I really want to see how he reacts to him.

Basil is so nasty sometimes. …

@calidris

Aww I hope so!  We’ll see how patient Niarok is lol.  Basil could use more friends cause he has like… none    But it’s kind of his own fault tbh.  He just has abysmal social skills…but I’m not going to be too hard on him because that seems to describe just about every character in the castle right now lol

Idk, once Niarok gets to know s…[Read more]

@calidris

Yes!  All of that, with that added caveat that Basil isn’t actually a doctor and has like next to zero knowledge of how to treat disease (beyond over the counter meds).  He’s very health conscious, though, and I think he has a good deal of knowledge about treatment for injuries.  He would absolutely butt heads with Niarok over proper…

@calidris
here’s Basil’s answer to Lorcan’s question!  Also, I figured this is probably a good time for Misu to finallyintroduce himself to Lorcan lol

So far so good! Can’t wait for Lorcan to get to know them both!😄

Lorcan

“I’m Basil,” the dark curly haired guy answered curtly.

The tall man smiled back at him. “And I’m Misu!”

Hm. He was…[Read more]

Basil:

“I’m not sick anymore, but that’s not going away soon,” the man said sarcastically.  “I’ll try not to inconvenience you in future.”  Basil looked at him skeptically.

“So you’re not contagious?”  He clicked his tongue.  “I mean, it’s not just me you’re inconveniencing.  When you cough all over the place like that you’re spraying your dise…[Read more]

Niarok

Niarok scrabbled over the last few rock outcroppings in the tunnel. Firelight glowed up ahead, and he smiled when he realized Klein or Yila must have started a blaze.

The cavern was freezing, colder than even Niarok was used to. Even though the temperature routinely dropped where he lived, it never got this cold.

He strode into the cave,…[Read more]

@calidris

It’s ok!  I didn’t do a really good job of describing him to begin with, plus it’s kind of hard to keep track of everyone cause there’s so many characters lol.  And I’m also very interested to see his and Niarok’s interactions – Basil and Misu are both from a modern fantasy setting, so he and Niarok are used to very different medic…

@denali-christianson

Can I just say that you got Lorcan SO right just there?!🤩 yasssss him and Niarok are such a TEAM! Go us lolll😂

Lorcan

Lorcan was relieved that Qatar and Quin were unharmed. That didn’t take very long to find them. And they came with a batch of newcomers too. He inwardly sighed. It was a never ending cycle so it w…[Read more]

While the others were preoccupied with Nithel’s sudden reappearance, Brendin felt a sudden calm sweep over him.  He looked down and realized with a start that he was fading, like Nithel and Jericho had.  He wished to say goodbye, but he also didn’t want to interrupt the moment between Mayra and Alessio and Nithel…and he didn’t want to cause t…[Read more]

The sound of metal sliding into leather and footsteps appeared right behind me. I hadn’t heard them coming. I started and spun around, then hated myself for it. Why did I startle so easily, it was ridiculous.

My gaze flicked to the weapon first, then I barely managed to hold back a sigh of relief as I saw he was putting the sword back, not taking…[Read more]

In that case, he’ll get along well with Basil!  Niarok and Yila are siblings, correct?  They both sound pretty cool!

Misu:

“Who’s there?”  Misu called back into the shadows behind them.

“I am,”  a young man stepped forward and cleared his throat, his face partially obscured by his long, dark hair.  Qatar shot a tired glance over at the strang…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

Yayyy!!! Welcome back to the chaos!!

He dark blue eyes, and he’s insanely discerning. If someone is feeling something, Niarok will usually pick up on it and respond in kind.

Oh, man, I can tell! He got my character exactly right. I wonder how he’s going to respond now people actually aren’t as hostile as he expected…

On a s…

@calidris

Oh my word I’m so sorry! I prolly just missed that in your description. I’m sorry! I know how annoying it can be when other people write your characters wrong. I guess he and Niarok can have some interesting butting of heads…

On a side note, my pet frog may or may not be named Basil…

Okayyy and now I’m going to write Yila…

Oops @calidris I forgot about Leytera: 5’3 (I think…) with black curly hair falling to her mid-back. Light brown eyes. She’s small-boned and looks fragile. She’s from a highly advanced technological society and carries about three small gadgets with her. She’s completely incompetent with any type of…[Read more]

@denali-christianson I don’t think I mentioned this before, but Basil’s actually quite tall!  He’s seen some stuff canonically at this point, so I can’t say that any of the castle’s recent events have been particularly surprising to him.  His remark to Misu was just him being snotty and stating the obvious (although Misu is entirely unaware t…[Read more]

@calidris

Niarok is 6’1 (I think…) with shoulder length black hair he usually wears in a half ponytail. He’s very muscular and carries a sword and a bow with him at all times. He’s also a doctor so he’s always got about fifteen hundred different types of herbs on him. He dark blue eyes, and he’s insanely discerning. If someone is feeling…[Read more]
