Ragnarok

Search grinned evilly at the quip/question, while Burn shoved some writhing, squirming creature back into her pack.

“When the exes are fighting the kids get to play.” She laughed.

That’s nice to know, he was hoping for more context, he really was…

“Uh. Is that thunder?” Burn interjected, and Nathair glanced up. Then at Burn, oh yes he was blin…[Read more]

“How do you break free?” His arm locked around her neck.

Leana did her best not to make a gagging sound. Break free? Uh… “Bite you?” If I had my dagger, I could try to stab you in the gut. But I left it on my horse, and… I wouldn’t want to risk success, with that. Not that I would have success. “But… you might not taste too good.” *br…[Read more]

Alessio had actually thought he’d have to convince her to throw a decent punch at him, so he wasn’t entirely prepared for the stunned look in her eyes to quickly shift to determination – anger?

Before he could overthink it, a punch swung at him hard. He automatically moved to the side and snatched her wrist using her own momentum to yank her i…[Read more]

Alessio nodded thoughtfully and took her hand, and shaped it into a fist. Leana watched, brows furrowing a bit.

She tried to put her thumb inside her fist, because she always did, but Alessio corrected, “You need your thumb outside of your fist, so you don’t break your hand throwing a punch, your feet need to be spaced enough for balance but not…[Read more]

The silence was deafening…

Well, he hadn’t really expected her to have a lot of fighting experience anyway.

“I…I’ve only been a messenger.” She said “Riding a horse from outpost to outpost. I had a dagger, but…All of us knew it wouldn’t do any good, if caught. It isn’t really a stable job.”

Alright, she’d be used to the feel of a knife that’d…[Read more]

Alessio backed out of the embrace, but his hand still lingered on Leana’s shoulder. “We’ll need to decide which mirror to enter and come up with a plan to make it through alive.”

Leana nodded slowly, and took a step back. You said… the point of all the mirrors is to make us feel guilty? 

Alessio glanced uneasily at the chocolate guy, I should…[Read more]

“I don’t know either.” She said in a nearly cracked voice. “I don’t know…”

Was this what it felt like to lose someone who actually cared about you…? That was numbing.

She was still speaking, softly, almost as if to herself.

“So many in this war, have lost fathers. Brothers, friends…” If there hadn’t been a war…would his father have loved him…[Read more]

Her heart relaxed, when Alessio truly squeezed.

“I – Sorry,” He stammered.

Leana didn’t pull away or look at him. So many things still rushed through her mind.

After a minute or two, Alessio spoke again, “I’ll keep searching until we find your father- I believe we’ll find him eventually, but if we don’t…” Leana stepped back. Alessio’s face ti…[Read more]

He could hear her take a slow, painful breath. He should’ve thought of something better to say…not that it would do any good…

“Alright.” She said, as if taking in all the information she’d been given. He bit his lip, not sure if he should say something or just shut up for how “helpful” he’d b – Alessio flinched as a hand rubbed his arm, but…[Read more]

Alessio seemed in a daze, and Leana resisted the urge to fidget.

Finally he looked at her, biting his lip, “It’s possible if Nithel is still in this world…dimension…place…then he might be forced into the trials as well and there’s a chance of us finding him there. I don’t know.” He sucked in a deep breath, and Leana’s brows furrowed. “The…[Read more]

Lol that’s good!!! Well, not the confusing brain part lol XDD

Whichever one has more braincells this castle has a huge braincell deficiency. 😌✌️

Alessio nearly jumped when Leana crawled out from under the table – a safe distance away from them. Devisldevilsdevils was she listening in? That was stupid she would’ve hidden better if she int…[Read more]

“Alright, we’ll need to come up with a plan.” Alessio spoke, “We don’t have a lot of options and we don’t know really what’s ahead of us so we should be prepared for the worst. Our best option would be to work together and manage our assets and liabilities accordingly.”

Leana’s eyes widened, as she still hunkered under the table. Is it too m…[Read more]

@driving-into-the-future

Why not throw both in?

I mean, @ragnarok has a disorienting number of characters and it hasn’t really bothered anyone. And you could put one in each group!

If you just don’t feel like doing two characters, I vote the water-princess because there are already a lot of pyromanic characters here. LOL.

On the other hand, if…[Read more]

HII NEW HUMAN @diving-into-the-future!!!! Lemmie just catch up with everything!

So right now our characters’ve been separated into two groups:

Group 1: Burn and Search (@hannahrenner‘s) Caleb (@rusted-knight‘s) Miles (@ethan-leanard) Nathair (mine)

and

Group 2: Leana (@kimlikesart‘s) Con (@ethan-leanard), Arsene, Sherlock, Hades and Crorie…[Read more]

“Lots of strange events these days, aren’t they, Alessio.” Arsene said, something about his voice sounding a little odd. Alessio glanced up quickly, regarding him a little warily. What was he probing for…?

Instinctively his mind started assessing every possible escape route in the room, but he bit back the urge. This was Arsene, he’d be fine.

“L…[Read more]

Slowly, deliberately, Sir Scary pulled a biscuit from his pocket. If you’ve ever seen someone passive-aggressively pulling food out of their pockets it’s a rather terrifying sight. Alessio’s eyes followed the next biscuit and then darted back to Sir Scary half considering if he deadpan should say he had absolutely nothing to do with that and hope…[Read more]

“You misunderstand, Alessio.” The stranger responded. Alessio narrowed his eyes at him. “He will expect you at the Trial of Fear and Cowardice as soon as you are ready. This city is merely a refuge to resupply and continue.”

Trial of Fear and Cowardice? Alessio’s jaw tightened, he twisted the knife still his in hand. No trails he was done with…[Read more]

I haven’t done something so convolutedly dumb since I impersonated a chosen from a dead religion…or cult…

That was definitely one of the more stupid schemes he’d been involved in…he still cringed a little thinking about it.

So instead of dwelling on that, Alessio started folding some of the tablecloths into makeshift bags to carry some more food…[Read more]

Leana did squeak as the table flipped. As she saw the dark dust around the guy’s hand. Zounds. Eyes wide as the pans, she pressed her back against the upturned top. What do I do?

The idea to again run and hide, overtook her. The idea this was just a strange dream. Wondering who she could turn to. Why these guys were acting like little boys,…[Read more]

Alessio ducked under the table, still peeling bits of pie off his face and eat it with relish. He eyed the…wheeled-table? full of sweets and considered crawling after it. Only problem being…yeah yeah the handcuffs.

But he had a brilliant idea that he didn’t have to go to it, If everyone was throwing pies at him. All he’d have to do is not get hit…[Read more]
