“Shake enough flour into your bowl, to where it’s about three inches deep.” Leana said, fixedly glaring into her bowl.  Alessio wasn’t sure what three inches was exactly but at this point he was too scared to ask so he peeked over her work and just imitated as best he could.

She’s irritated with them.

Which wasn’t the end of the world, he tr…[Read more]

Leana scowls into her bowl, then says to where they all can hear, her voice steady, “Shake enough flower into your bowl, to where it’s about three inches deep.” She does it, not looking up.

*will proceed to give instructions, doing it herself, whether others follow or not* *will stop to answer questions, if they have honest ones,…[Read more]

“John Doe was my professional name, not my birth name.” Sir S- John said in a forced, even voice. “And it is the name I will go by.”

Fine fine, fair enough.

“Professional name, you say,” Ah yes, Arsene wasn’t going to accept that… “What is your profession, Mr. Doe?”

Wasn’t that self-explanatory seeing as they met when John tried to kill him!?!…[Read more]

“None taken, I go by the name John Doe.” Sir Scary said,

“But that’s not your real name.” Alessio said automatically. But he was supposed to be trying to be polite! That was not really working, maybe he should just go back to being annoyingly blunt? At least that sounded more practical…

He glanced at Leana for instructions on how to make bread…[Read more]

“I’ve seen a person named Alessio with the one who calls himself Arsene Lupin.” Sherlock said, and added baiting. “To tell the truth, he was a little odd.”

A little odd was a fantastic understatement of course, the kid routinely yeeted himself out windows to avoid social situations for as long as Nathair could remember. Quiet, sweet amiable h…[Read more]

“You wish to know of the Star Breather?” She asked quickly. Maybe he said something wrong again, Alessio looked up but it was eagerness, not impatience. Her eyes shone and it made her look like she was really aglow. But not like Arsene, he radiated with impishness.

“I’ll tell you what I know! And answer the questions I can.” She said, she actua…[Read more]

I’ve noticed that there is little activity from other members in the castle. Part of which is my fault, due to not coordinating with other members. To the point, what do you people think should happen in this trial?

The trial is centered around Betrayal, whether it is someone a character betrayed or when they were betrayed.

Alessio’s face seemed carefully blank, and his silence stretched so long Leana wondered if she’d forgotten something very very important.

“That- That’s excellent.” He smiled, almost fakely, and stammered.

She nodded slowly. Okay. “Alright.” *hesitant smile* “If you think of something else, will you let me know?”

Alessio put his fingers up and…[Read more]

Leana stared at them both, skeptically.

“Alright…Rinse off your hands. I’ll tell you what to do.” The palace cook never bothered with that – actually he never bothered with that either. Mostly for lack of water but…Where was water now, everything in the kitchen looked foreign. “You, too. The more who help, the faster it’ll go.”

Right. Al…[Read more]

Leana looked from Alessio to Arsene, brows lifted. You can cook? *definitely suspicious* “Alright… Rinse off your hands. I’ll tell you what to do.” *looks at Crorie/smiles* “You, too. The more who help, the faster it’ll go.”

The cook swished up to Alessio, before he could. Her cheeks were flushed, not used to being bossed around in her own…[Read more]

Leana looked up at the kitchen door, when Alessio, Crorie, and Arsene entered, and smiled the smallest bit.

The pile of supplies was all accumulating inside a single pillowcase, in a corner of the room. A few women worked on making bread around Leana. She’d passed the pan with the dough off, when no fire could be found, and they said there was a…[Read more]

(Leana stuck her tongue out at Hades, if only a moment, when he refused the nick-name… She’ll still use it.)

As she listened to Alessio… Leana’s heart warmed and bubbled like a brook. Father loved Alessio. He knew him. He named him.

He… always seemed to make people feel valuable. Be they a senator whose carriage lost a wheel. Or a begger…[Read more]

They’d need to get moving, Alessio thought. But he felt relieved, lighter than he had in so many years. He kind’ve just wanted to talk about Nithel, Leana would know more about him and that was something he’d like to hear more of. What was it like, a kind loving person as a father?

They didn’t have time to talk though, the sooner they made it…[Read more]

Leana scrutinized him quizzically a moment after he asked very abruptly, coiling her soft, red-brown hair into a bun as she considered.

“It means ‘Dear One’ Or ‘Valuable’, ‘Precious’. ‘Beloved’. Eazizun means those… and more. Wahid means ‘One’. ‘Singular’. ‘No other like it’.” She said, watching him with that kind, painfully compassionate loo…[Read more]

The world shifted into a hall of black and white tiles from the floor to the ceiling, dizzying sameness that caused an optical illusion of drowning in infinite squares. Blind Guy was grumbling under his breath.

“WE FELL THROUGH ANOTHER HOLE IN REALITY!” Burn shrieked, furiously. Actually angry enough Nathair didn’t feel like annoying hi – he was…[Read more]

What to use for a hair tie? *considers just knotting it into a bun, with nothing* But that could still fall out, and she wanted to take Alessio’s advice.

Alessio ducked onto the floor, like he was afraid to be hit, and ripped a strip from the hem of the tablecloth.

Leana’s brows lifted. Her eyes widened when he snapped off the leg of the table.…[Read more]

Why was Leana staring at him like that he’d done something horrible he’d done something bad and she was going to hate him for being so rude he shouldn’t have called him a Big Softie even if he wasss.

“Alright. Thank you.” She said and Alessio cringed under her look. He shouldn’t have told her what to do like that he shouldn’t have called him a…[Read more]

(Oof, that’s awful…)

“Mm.” Leana acknowledged, bobbing her head up and down adorably. Alessio bit his lip, turning an even deeper shade of red. “What if I…somehow hurt him? I mean-“

“Yeah, what if she hurts Alessio?” Alessio asked innocently, fidgeting with even more awkward/nervous energy than usual.

“Thank you.” She added a bit uneas…[Read more]

*Kimmi sent something earlier this morning, and… sees now it never went through* *grrs* *types abbreviated version*

Leana had been joking about the biting. She tended to joke, when nervous, but always wondered if anyone realized it was in jest. Dom did…

She danced away from Alessio when he released her. But she didn’t…[Read more]

@ragnarok

Thank you! I’ll check it out!

That’s ok! I’ve actually been interested in seeing that anime!
