Silvern~

I wake up at the sound of movement. I have to admit, I wasn’t really sleeping anyway -details details- when my eyes fluttered open, I looked around, slowly edging over to my fencing sword, just in case. My eyes lock on the intruder. Hmmm...Oh. Nymph. Now I understand. Sigh.

“Salutations Nymph,” I say, all weariness carefully discised in my voice. “Max’s room is downstairs.” I nod at the ladder. “Is has a wooden surfboard with his name on it. You can’t miss it.”

I’m so sorry for being so late on this. Also, my writing style is suffering from my weariness from being up in the Wee hours...xP. Anywho, when/if Nymph goes down to Max’s room, Raven is will be in the hallway, heading to the kitchen. Sooo, just, er, keep that in mind when you write your next thing?  

Max~

I begin to stir from my dreamless sleep, mumbling something as I roll over onto my side. I yawn, my arms stretching out against my pillow, and blink drowsily. Suddenly I feel a weight on my chest, and become almost fully awake with a start. 

“W-What!” I manage to stutter out with my somewhat lazy tongue, due to having just woken up. I then notice that it is not a ‘what’ but a ‘who’ and still tripping on my tongue manage to gasp out; “H-“ my word is broken by a yawn, and I continue once it has passed. “-Hello?”

sorry for how short and bad quality it is. And I apologize again for not seeing your post, I actually checked everyday for it and it just showed up on my device today..? But it says it’s been up for a week and I’m pretty confused xD  

Nihil~

"What'cha playing?" Lux saunters into the room. I continue staring at the chessboard in front of me.

"One-man chess." I reply, still not looking up. Lux plops himself down into the chair opposite mine and starts resetting the board. Deducing that he wants to play, I help him reset. He takes a pawn and moves it two spaces forward. I move my knight, it being the only piece that can move past other pieces. "So what do you think of the other AEs?"

"I think their intentions are kind, some are slightly overbearing." He chuckles.

"Just ignore them. Most of them are imbecilles, anyway." My brother shrugs. I raise an eyebrow as I steal his rook.

"Debatable. Judging from their previous posts, some seem fairly intelligent, though their intellect is still to be tested." He swiftly moves one of my bishops to the side, replacing it with one of his own. Without batting an eyelash, I move a pawn onto the last row, crowning it a king. Lux smiles gently. "Nice move." I nod.

"Wasn't it though?" Lux moves his queen onto the field, he must be getting nervous. I glance at his face. He's awfully good at concealing it. Out of curiosilty, I, too, take my queen away from the side of her king. To my surprise, he moves his king out to play, just behind his queen and out of the range of any of my pieces. "What are you doing...?" His pawn, my rook, his bishop, my pawn, he kings his bishop, I overtake his last rook with a knight, he takes my knight with the kinged bishop. Suddenly, he slides his queen next to my king, but for some reason does not take it. "I shouldn't have let him go first," I say, smilling as I slide my bishop next to his king, mirroring his style. With a flick of the fingers I spin the bishop, giving my final move a bit of flair. With a sweet smile and a chuckle, Lux pushes his chair back and walks out of the room, hands stuck in the pockets of his white hoodie. I look down at the board and smile. "Good game," I whisper.

Lux~

Don't tell Nihil, but I moved my queen like a knight on accident three turns before I "won". I didn't realize it until Nihil had taken her turn.

Nymph

Viola’s been running around complaining about how busy she is. It’s dumb. If she has so much to do, why doesn’t she do any of it? I do what I have to. 

My forests are achingly beautiful this time of year. Cold but not freezing, wet but not snowy, gray but not lifeless. And not exactly gray, either. The budding has begun, and the colors of bark and dead leaves are interspersed with dotted splashes of red and green and dusty gold, and occasionally, a pink-touched white. Everywhere I step, there’s suddenly something waking up beneath my feet. Today I mostly fly or float, though. It was misty this morning, and I must have looked like a spectre, drifting between the trees.

Sea Glass has been coming out more often, too. I’ve seen xyr take the path near the forest several times in the last few weeks. Xe has not entered my domain.  

Lux~

It's a beautiful day today. Snow still decorates the faces of the budding flowers, but at least it's not literally everywhere. I'm not old enough to have experienced that, but, from what I've gathered,most are relieved for the change in scenery. I glance up at the sky. I note the position of the sun in the sky. It's low. Really low. My skin changes to thick fur, human form becoming Undershade Canine. With one powerful sweep of the wings, I'm aloft, set on a course to nowhere special. Who knows where I'll end up. Maybe I'll find another AE.

Nymph~

"O-oh... Nymph?" 

I nod, and Max reaches up to his hair. "Okay... um. Yeah. Hiking."

A large dog rises from the floor, stretches and approaches. Max greets it readily. I wisp my way up to the ceiling. Max sits up.

"U-uh, I, um, have to change," Max stammers.

"Of course. I'll go and see Raven."

"R--okay."

I spider down the wall and slink back under the door, then saunter down the hall in the direction Raven was headed.

The kitchen is larger than mine was when I left. It changes, at home. Viola? says it's like that one wizard castle everyone's obsessed with. Or like me. This one will fit a unicorn such as my current self. Still, I am careful not to let my horn scrape the ceiling.

Hee hee hee, she didn't really think this through. She handled it more gracefully than I expected, though, rather fittingly of a queen.
