( If you don't mind, I have to get something off my chest. Ana's story breaks me more than the others because I went through a stage of self-hatred too. Not as bad as Ana's, but still bad. It lasted about three years and it was really scary.)
(And I never told anyone.)
(@Natasha Oh man, well Ana is sorta a reflection of me in some ways as well, then again all my characters are. Though she gained her self hatred through different means which…admittedly could be triggering for some.
also @Lil-Owl just give her some good TLC. She's been missing that on her whole life)
(@NERD the tension!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Macha forced herself to look away as Dani announced "Welcome to the Citadel!" She couldn't stand looking at Ace, the confusion he brought her was too much to bear. If she could just focus on her fragmented memories of Lenn she could forget about Ace. He's just a minor distraction., she lied to herself. What would Fae say if she were— No. She cut her wandering thoughts off sharply and focused on the magnificent scene in front of her.
(Could Dani describe the Citadel?)
(i'm sorry for that, @Natasha)
(Holey Peter. Lol My dad makes a lot of 'holey' jokes. It gets me every time.)
Pardon me, but i think i dont catch your meaning? )
(@Lil-Owl in the story I'm writing most of my characters have wings. I'm not a total expert but I've actually been studying some wing anatomy. Disclaimer I'm in no way an expert and this is all hypothetical But as for Peter, I'd say the wounds that will affect his flying most will be the ones at the top of his wings where the most bone, muscle, and nerves would be.)
Ace took a sharp breath and exhaled. He could feel his heart start to resume its normal beat when he turned away from Macha. Ace could hear Zodiac in his ear, teasing him. He gritted his teeth, love didn't exist, and even if it did, it wouldn't present itself to him. Ace focused on the Citadel. He pretended to be wowed by it and he couldn't stop his eye from wandering over to where Macha was standing. Ace mentally slapped himself. He turned over to Peter and kept his back towards Macha.
(It's okay. Thanks, though. Music pretty much saved my life. I would suggest 'Overcomer' by Mandisa and 'Fear is a Liar' by Zach Williams, to name a few. I'm a lot stronger and more confident now. In a way, my challenges were a blessing. And I will describe the citadel.)
Peter kept his wings at an exhausted droop, looking uncomfortably pallid and faint. He forced a bit of a smile back to Ace, supporting himself on unsteady knees.
Oh yeah! I'm a huge nerd for ornithology (birds)! :D ))
Thank gosh! I was stalling. Sort of. Maybe. Kinda. Also, MACE! AND SKETER! I can't decide which one I like more. Actually, I'm a bit biased in that sense, but still.
(Glad to know someone else is interested in it too! :)
And also, the budding bromance that is Ace and Peter. They could be great friends.
(Has anyone heard from @Mish today?)
nope
(I'll wait a little while longer to write anything for Blake then.)
(I'm here. I'm sorry. I came down with a weird, off-and-on stomach ache this week and have been battling the pains a lot today. I haven't had the will to hop on and say anything, I've just been reading off and on.)
(Hope you feel better @Mish!)
(I'm in a lot of pain, so if you don't mind, I won't be doing anything today. I hate to keep on doing this to you guys, so I sincerely apologize again. I thought I'd be better by today, but apparently I'm not.)
(@Mish oh no I hope you feel better!)
Dani led them through the hall. It was white, with faint traces of gold and sky blue. Their steps echoed in the hallway as they drew near to the end of it. A woman came up to Dani and put a hand on her arm. "I'm glad you're back,Agent Shield. We have been worried sick about you!" Dani smiled. "Thanks Carla. Can you see if you can arrange for these teens to bunk by me? I'd feel safer if I knew that I could keep them safe." Carla nodded. She looked at the others. "You are very lucky that Dani insisted on finding you. " She walked hurriedly to the sleeping quarters. "We will go to the sleeping quarters soon, but first, Axyl wants to see you guys." They walked through what seemed like endless miles of rooms and hall ways. A few agents stopped them to talk to Dani briefly, then going on their way. The citadel was mostly white, with pops of color here and there and a lot of stainless steel. Everything was super high-tech. Holograms, lots of weapons, and a whole lot of other stuff that would take Dani forever to explain. She stopped them a few times to show them some interesting things, like the labs where scientist and doctors where trying to figure out better and faster way to heal people.
(That's totally fine! Just focus on getting better! I'm just gonna write about Blake getting ready to start the search so you can introduce your character when you feel better.)
(It's fine! MESSAGE TO EVERYONE: Your personal life is more important than this roleplay! If you're feeling unwell, are busy, or have something else going on, you do not have to come on)
(Hope you feel better @Mish!!! I will be praying.)
(Do you like the description, @TopazWyrmlet~ ?)
(I think that Peter and Ace could be great friends)
The place was similar to his village's main building. There were a lot of weapons and things that made him uneasy, as if the place was to blow up any second. It was still beautiful though. Ace stared in wonderment at the facility, he briefly placed a hand on Macha's shoulder to balance himself because he was getting dizzy from the blinding whiteness of the rooms, but he quickly took it off.
(Yeah, it's great!)
