Kyngdom Survival Guide
Hello, it's me
Chatterbox: KYNGDOM™ RP Board
Hello, it's me
Hello, it's me again!
This is my first thread, and it's going to focus on my charrie Lycaella, her mom and her friend Nygrune. It's for following our adventures while we're not in a place or situation covered by another thread. 'We' because Ronan has asked to be Nygrune, to which of course I said yes.
Someone (I think Icy) said that B.I.G. and Catstrophe actually dislike each other. It makes sense, so... Just to let you know.
I'll begin where I left off on the Underwater Ball thread, with Lycaella and Nygrune planning to do some spying of a sort. They've asked Lycaella's mom to show them her notes, so I'll fast-forward to that.
Lycaella~
"Oh, so you're giving them their shadows back?"
We are sitting on a rug in my mom's room, reading her notes. I can't make sense of half the words, but she tells Nygrune and I what it means. Apparently, Catastrophe has found a way to separate shadows from their owners' bodies, and to keep him from creating a shadow army and destroying everything, B.I.G. has been researching it. They've managed to figure out how he did it, and are testing ways to reattach the shadows to their owners.
"Well, that's one way of putting it," my mom says. "We believe it will be beneficial to all of Kyngdom."
"I don't really understand this one... How would they sew them back on?" I ask.
"I believe it's with a special sort of thread, Ella," Mom says. "Let's see now..."
Nygrune finds it first. "A needle made from the bone of a magic or mythical being, preferably with thread also made from a magical material."
"Yes," my mom says, "Although personally I think that a binding spell shows more promise." I raise an eyebrow. She doesn't usually like magic this much. Out of nowhere, I yawn. Mom and Nygrune look at me like I'm disrupting something.
"Sorry," I say. "I'm getting kind of tired. You two can keep reading, I don't mind."
My mom nods. I hear her calling after me as I leave the room.
"Remember to brush your teeth!"
~End RP.
It actually is getting kind of late, so I should go. I hope this works out.

Ooh ooh! Changing what I said! So, I'm totally okay if someone doesn't want to do this, but Nieke could be seeing Trixie's brother Ben. He's planning on finding them.
(July 25, 2017 - 12:13 pm)
That sounds like a great idea! Do you want to RP it, or should I?
(July 29, 2017 - 12:05 am)
I don't care. You pick. I can find his charrie sheet for you if you want to write.
(July 29, 2017 - 9:54 am)
I think maybe you had better write it. I wouldn't mind doing it, but you know Ben and how he and Trixie interact a lot better than I do, and you handle Nieke really well, too. I wonder what Nieke's reaction would be... She would probably be suspicious at first, not knowing him and all, then relax if Trixie does. She was an only child herself as far as I know, so she might not get whatever sibling things they have going on, and she'll be very business-like with him for a while before she loosens up and gets to know him/is sure he's not a threat. It would be interesting if Etoile were to wake up in the middle of it all, read the scroll, and fly away on a giant eagle.

I'm just curious, what unpleasant memories does Moonshadow bring to Trixie's mind?
(July 29, 2017 - 10:46 am)
I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. (AKA, it's a secret! You'll see when I reveal her backstory.)
(July 29, 2017 - 5:33 pm)
Oh, ok.

~Trixie~
I walked over to where Nieke was.
“What is it?” I said.
“Not what, who. Over there.” She pointed across the clearing to a figure moving towards us. Suddenly I recognized the figure.
“Leave this to me.” I said, walking quickly towards the figure.
“What. Are. You. Doing. Here?” I said. He laughed and tossed his shaggy red hair.
“It’s nice to see you too, Trixie. How have you been?”
“What. Are. You. Doing. Here?”
“Is a boy not allowed to see his sister anymore?”
“Not if it means abandoning his family!”
“I’m only abandoning them as much as you did! And yes, I know we needed someone out here, but Miriam’s taken over my job and we’re fine. I wanted to make sure you were okay.”
“Well I’m not. Things were already stressful and now I have to deal with a brother who doesn’t know what he’s doing and worry about my family getting blow up or something! Miriam needs your help! Did you even check your plan with them r did you just run off?”
“Trixie, I’m not a little kid anymore! And Miriam isn’t either! I can handle it and she can handle it. I gave her basic training, which is more than we had if you can recall. And yes, for your information, I did check with Dad. He said I could go.” I gave him the worst glare I could and said,
“We both know Dad’s not the one who would object. Did you leave without checking with Mum? We both know what what that would do to her! How could you do that?”
“How could I do it? You’ve been doing it for years! You can’t call me the one who doesn’t care what Mum thinks!”
~Ben~
I instantly could tell I’d gone too far.
“Trixie, I’m sorry!” I said. “I didn’t mean it, I know-” She cuts me off.
“Fine. Stay. But I’m not going to be running after you saving you. You’re on your own as far as I’m concerned.” She walked off, back toward the fire and the other girl I saw. I followed after her. I was expecting her to stop there, but she kept going, off into the woods. I did stop at the fire though. I felt like the other girl needed some sort of explanation.
“Hi, my name is Ben. I’m Trixie’s twin brother. I came here to see if I could help at all. Trixie is not a fan of this plan, for complicated reasons. Are you the person Trixie mentioned? Ummm... crud, what was the name? Oh! I know! Are you Hazel?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trixie will get over it quickly. She will still think Ben was stupid for finding them, but she won't be angry in the same way.

Nieke~
"No," I answer slowly.
"Oh! Sorry," he says. I shake my head dismissively, as if to say it's fine, it's nothing. After a moment of silence, he asks, "Um, so, what is your name, then?"
"Nieke."
"Nice to meet you, Nieke."
I nod to be polite and look for a way out of the conversation. One comes in the form of Etoile stirring.
"'Scuse me," I say quickly, then turn my attention to the elf girl. She shifts, rolls over, frowns, opens her eyes.
"Hey," I greet her.
"Hello," she murmurs.
"Trixie, she's awake!" I call. Noticing Ben, Etoile asks, "Who's this?"
"I'm Ben, Trixie's twin brother. I came here to see if I could help her at all," he repeats.
"I am Etoile, a friend of your sister and her companions. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"The pleasure is mine," he says. I roll my eyes.
~Sorry this was so short. I hope I wasn't too controlling. My idea is mostly to give Etoile the same easy out as Moonshadow, since she said she was at the meeting, too.
(July 31, 2017 - 7:40 am)
You wrote Ben just like he is. But why did Nieke roll her eyes? Also, if Etoile leave they'll have no way of knowing whether Hazel's okay or not, and I doubt Trixie would let Etoile leave until they found out.
(July 31, 2017 - 9:47 am)
Nieke rolled her eyes because she perceived the interaction as flirting. I think we're going to have to wait for Etoile to find out when or if she leaves.
(August 3, 2017 - 5:43 pm)
Oh! Okay. Ben would probably have said something like that, but he would have just been being friendly. I don't know whether you meant that and Nieke just read it wrong, or if you thought Ben would try to flirt with her. I agree about Etoile though.
(August 4, 2017 - 7:55 am)
I think Nieke just read it wrong. She's a little iffy about the formality they used, and she's also kind of on edge because of the whole Jaaws thing.
(August 4, 2017 - 12:31 pm)
Okay. Thanks!
