    Liorah hadn’t even screamed when the mirror was broken and the monsters had come. How could something possibly be worse then those nightmarish beasts?
    Ha! I didn’t even think about that! Good eye!

    Ooh, this gives me the perfect opportunity to infodump! This was actually a deliberate choice on my part, not an accident. Liorah didn’t scream when she saw the beasts because she had some warning (growling) and she knew what to do. All she had to do was smack them with her sword, so she felt in control of that situation. Also, if you work with horses for any length of time, you literally teach yourself not to scream when you get scared, and it becomes a habit. (If y’all ever need that for a character XD) BUT, she did when she was on the edge of the chasm because a. she wasn’t expecting it b. She couldn’t really do much about it and c. she’s horrified of heights, and not used to any.

    Aw, thank you so much!!! I don’t know about Liorah and Gavril, but Dan comes from a world with zero magic, so this is going to be especially wild for him

    Yeah, same for Liorah and Gavril! My world has no magic and no strange beasts and stuff, so… that’s fun XD Also, because of the setting, they aren’t used to a lot of things we consider normal, like snow/ cold, staircases, two-story buildings, and anything modern like electricity, (obviously XD) So, Liorah has seen like– two staircases. Ever. XD I honestly have no idea how Gavril’s going to coax/convince her to climb them. She isn’t particularly happy with the idea XD

    YES! *does weird happy dance* Thank you! That is exactly what I was going for, and you just confirmed it. Thank you!!!

    If that was your intent, your execution of it is perfect! Good job! I actually really like Dancrow, even though he’s so…I guess the word’s abrasive? I actually have a character a little like him, Ferran. I still intend to bring him in some time since he’s severely underdeveloped. But not now! I’m having too much fun with Liorah and Gavril!

    Maybe we could each take turns coming up with a trap, and then “playing” that trap. Then another one of us writes about the second arch, and so on. Maybe, when we each write our trap, our character could be the one to solve or defeat the trap, beast, or whatever.

    Brilliant idea! Sounds perfect! I actually have a pretty interesting idea already. If y’all don’t mind, I’d like to go pretty early. The trap might start some conflict, and it’s more fun if the characters have more trials right after that. Also, how many characters are in the castle rn?

    (Riure, Dancrow, Liorah, Gavril, Gwen, Rilyn, Konyar, Allen, Ehud, and Rosario.) So… 10 I guess? Also, I remember two characters named Eltar and Wen, and I’ve heard a King Kami mentioned, but I think they’ve been inactive for a long time.

    Could y’all just correct me if I missed anyone?
