Ragnarok

Wait, Nithel had said Leana was about Alessio’s age, but Nithel was a couple thousand years old before he became human and he didn’t have Alessio’s exact age he’d just been estimating so was Leana actually seventeen or eighteen or was “about your age?” actually like a couple hundred years old because she’d turn out to be some fantastical r…[Read more]

Ohel fell stumbled through the doorway, What? The toe of one sandal getting caught on the threshold, and his arms flailed before he fell on his face. “Oof.”

Leana gave a short squeal and sprang to her feet, swinging her spikey club over her shoulder, ready to swing it down on him. (Though the blanket’s a bit tangled on it.)

Ohel jumped,…[Read more]

“Who said anything about being half human?” Arsene returned with his usual annoying smile. “As I said before, my father was a woodland elf, who left his country, and my mother was a lone dragon. I have no human heritage.”

Alessio blinked slowly, his eyes getting wider even while he was trying to maintain a neutral expression. Vaguely he remembe…[Read more]

[@this-is-not-an-alien – you … just sit there? REALLY?!]

[You are wrong.]

[Life is not gray. It is black and white. But they mingle. A little black in the white. A little white in the black.]

[Take off your apathy-tinted glasses. See the world as it is.]

[That fox-fire you stare into dims. Winks out. And darts away.]

[The tip-tip-tip-tip of…[Read more]

Name: Ohel bar Oz bar Hezekiah

Height: 6′ 1″

Eyes: Brown, not too dark, not too light

Hair: Brown, not too dark, not too light. Wavy. It’s long enough to get tangled, but doesn’t even reach the bottom of his neck.
He has the stars of a beard, darker brown.

Weapons: Will have a dagger, with a jeweled hilt, at his waist. He’s also a proficient…[Read more]

Could I bring in someone else? 🙃

And if yes… which rooms/people would you like them to be dropped with..?

[@this-is-not-an-alien, You enter the door.]

[The room is large – almost unfathomably so. Pillars reach to the roof, each shaped like thorny vines. They support a roof so far above you that it is shrouded in shadow, except for the occasional dim light from rose-shaped lanterns. The marble under your feet resembles a chess-board. Each white tile h…[Read more]

“Sherlock’s the same age as me, but I was born first.” Arsene said with the definite satisfaction of someone who bested his brother in something stupid. “I’m sure I’ve mentioned this at least once, but I’m not human. I’m a dragon hybrid. Hence, I’m not obligated to follow the basic aging process.”

No, you never mentioned that before!?!

Ale…[Read more]

John frowned at him for several seconds (even with the mask his perpetual disgruntlement was almost audible).

“How old do you think I am?” He asked in a tone that made Alessio feel like anything he said next was going to sound stupid. Nevermind, forget that. Everyone here wasn’t his enemy, he was supposed to be trying this ‘nice’ thing to ‘make…[Read more]

Leana felt something warm drape on her shoulders and glanced up just in time to see Arsene skipping away toward Alessio and John. She smiled a bit, He’s sweet, and adjusted the blanket. Will it be cold, where we’re going..? 

She struggled to hold down mirth, as she listened to the men talk. That John was only nineteen, was shocking. But not nigh…[Read more]

Alessio fidgeted awkwardly, glancing at everything in the store. He stretched his hands, closing and unclosing trying not to touch anything. It was too good to be true and he didn’t know the drawbacks. Maybe, maybe “Amnesia” decided to give them resources to make their struggles later more entertaining. But he didn’t want to depend on anythin…[Read more]

Nathair (contin.):

With age comes understanding. Or maybe just deceitfulness.

Day in and day out, Yasha come in. And for some reason Nathair went along with it – even enjoyed it. He just talked, told Nathair what he should be doing and that was annoying but…at least someone was talking to him instead of at him. It was endless babbling hon…[Read more]

Leana didn’t know what to say about the boys’ banter, about girlfriends, crushes, and such. She was too tired, and too used to it, after being around so many men in camps. Though… she did imagine what the perfect gift, from a fellow, would be…

Leana followed/walked with everyone to a store full of things she’d never even considered existing.…[Read more]

“If you like her, you should really buy her flowers.” Arsene said a-matter-of-factly and Alessio stared up at him blankly. It should be noted in his culture flowers have no romantic connotations – they use gemstones with romantic meanings instead. There were some cultures that used flowers, but Alessio was willfully ignoring that.

“I – What? No!…[Read more]

“Sure.” She said, staring at him a little stunned. But then she smiled a little crookedly. “Thanks.”

Alessio shrugged and mumbled something incoherent, not really sure how to respond to a thanks. Awkwardly, he kind’ve lightly wrapped his arms around her shoulders and brushed against her. He’d never learned it was ok to pull someone into a hug…[Read more]

“Uh, may I hug you? I mean would it be useful, or…?”

Leana’s gaze jumped from John to Alessio. *stunned a moment* “Sure.” *a bit comforted, by his concern* She breathed in slowly and proffered a half-smile, pulling her shoulders back. Thank you.

@this-is-not-an-alien @ragnarok 🐒

Alessio was debating whether or not he had the mental energy to argue with Arsene about shopping when he heard Leana setting down her pack and he glanced toward her. She’d be able to talk sense into Ar…They were arguing over something stupid and she just wanted her father back. Alessio bit his lip.

What would Nithel do? He’d have something to co…[Read more]

*Leana just wants to sit down and cry…* *leans her back against wall/sets down her pack* *stares at floor/waits for them to decide what to do* *glances toward John*

“Well, that was fun. We should try going on a picnic next time.” Arsene chirped, staring at his handiwork. The floor was powdered enough to masquerade as a ghost – compliments of Arsene startling him with that explosion and Alessio dropping his bowl of ingredients. Which resulted in a couple sparks and that resulted in another disas…[Read more]

Could we skip the rest of preparing, and just… head to whatever doorway they’re going to walk through. 😄

If yes…?

Everybody has a pillowcase with an equal distribution of supplies. (Except Leana, who has a few extra odds and ends in her bag. Others could have asked for particular things, too. (: )

All this hullabaloo done, she looked…[Read more]
