I like this idea! Mom's feeling better and stuff is starting to calm back down, so I'll probably read through and reply to everything tomorrow (Super tired rn)

Sounds great. I’m glad ur mum is feeling better

 

[Yowza Wowza]

there goes Take

 

[Amer]

Fred was falling behind and couldn’t keep up quite as well as the others in the group. His glasses kept fogging up and his legs just weren’t cut out for fleeing at a fast rate. “Heeellllpppp meeeee” he cried as he ran, he felt the dust from the rocks which were fast approaching on the back of his legs, he needed a miracle now

Oh no Fred! I feel ya buddy. I would send Korim to lift you up out of this but he's already committed to self-preservation, the bully.

 

[Butterscotchbitesfinger]

Goodnight. Will most likely be on tomorrow unless riding is back on, if I’m not you know I’m out riding Hudson.

 

[Butterscotchbitesfinger]

Oh no Fred! I feel ya buddy. I would send Korim to lift you up out of this but he's already committed to self-preservation, the bully.

Lol he is like that really skinny build that can’t run (yes you know the type I’m sure)

 

[Amer]

Lol he is like that really skinny build that can’t run (yes you know the type I’m sure)

Yep. It would be so easy for Korim to save him too because he has extra strength.

 

[HeavensHens88]

I almost certainly am going to regret everything I've ever done, aren't I.

 

[HeavensHens88]

I was gonna try to cover everything at once but I know I need to give that up so this is my start on the road to recovery be proud of me :3

I finally decided to go check out what the Kremlin looks like inside..... I... did not realize it's basically Russia's white house and is also AN ACTUAL PALACE with like gold on everything 0-0 Kipp and Noah are gonna be in trouble, reeeeeeal quick like.

Alright, I'm gonna toss them in the Armoury, it is a museum, and shares a wall with the "red wall" and is within view of the river. Looks like the main entrance is through one of those guard towers too.... How long do you guys give them before they're caught? I'm going with a silent alarm.

I'm quoting these for the factuals I know I'll need

Ohhhhh I thought you just meant the wall.
looool well they’ll have to make a quick escape, fortunately Kipp has wings they’ll be untrackable.

This pic give me Ciro vibes.

WHAT IF HE'S GOT THIS PACK OF DOGS BACK HOME THAT HE'S ACCUMULATED BY FEEDING THEM-----

is anyone alive?

WELL THANKS FOR ASKING KYBDRA
WELL, MY CHEST IS VIBRATING
I THINK IT'S BREATH????

I've not responded to any of the interactions with my charries. I should.... I just haven't. I am malfunction.

I did cut and chop 60 measuring cups of rhubarb today though. Almost stabbed a hidden broody who had chosen the rhubarb as a good place to sit eggs. Got her set up in her own coop and she's rebelliously sleeping on the roost.

I think I'm done RPing. I really just can't. Sorry guys.

...I was thinking this really was it, but then, I realized,
how things change in a month
Fantastically glad you're back, of course!

I honestly don’t even know
I’m just
existing

lucky you can even do that

Spoiler: take’s work life when he had one

some kid made a mess at his job View attachment 2195593

agykuhsdusijxbfhkd
he is unamused

EEEE!! I'm so excited!! I think I really needed the break, all stress and no play makes Kipp a sad boy. ^u^ Yay! for solving the great mystery. And slight character growth.

It's been bugging me that I hadn't had the chance to clear up the mess going on with Fred and Kipp.

Now to fix all the other relationships and beat a big bad guy.

Amer, I was thinking that if Olim either wasn't a human, or if we didn't kill him to beat him, it might make fighting him a lot less moral dilemma causing... but it's up to you.


I have to go to bed now, I'm sleeping a lot earlier of late. I think I can be around here to RP most nights around 10 ish PM (Atlantic time) for 2 hours. It won't be every night, cause that's my only real free time, and there are other things to be done every now and again. :3

We should probably tag everybody just in case they aren't getting notifications, cause BYC be like that sometimes.

of course I ignored it

Maybe Olim is a hive mind :0

Rylie suddenly woke up, then pointed at Fred, then Aella, then Juli, then Eve, then Take, then Kevin in succession while speaking. “You need to stop having a terrible self esteem, you need to stop pushing physical boundaries in confined spaces, you need to stop being a brat, you need to stop blaming yourself for something we all would have done in your place and honestly who couldn’t help using their voice for once when they’re actually alone and in danger? You need to stop asking impertinent questions and you need to stop making assumptions. And the rest of you? Let me have a little sleep by gosh! Are the Borealans really the only decent people here?”

HE'S BACK HE'S BACK OUR MAN IS BACK

 

[HeavensHens88]

Yep well what won me over was my dad promised to put in a stable for me and an arena so I can practice and it’s on 2 acres so I can have all my pets ect and it’s not in a fire zone and it is awesome. My room is double the size it is now (which makes it normal size coz my room is small as) but yeah I’m happy. We won’t be renting any more

FABULOUS
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS
I AM BIG HAPP FOR YOU

oh look it's another one of my skins

View attachment 2249226

RYLIE'S BACK
oh SNAP nat you're REALLY missing OUT

I, no long have the information on who sleeps how.

I remember Kipp. I think Juli snores. Don't remember now though.

why do I feel like I have an immaculate recollection of this

Am I the only one who goes back to like when we had the youth water and exciting things like that and read through and cringe at my writing. I could’ve made so much more happen from that but ye.

don't do that butterscotch

Just though ya’ll should know, I’m back to school tomorrow so I won’t be on tomorrow apart from breaks and after and before school

THAT JUST WOKE ME UP

I'm going to be camping for a few days, but I'll have access to wifi from 9 pm to 11/12 pm/am. So my responses may be a little short.

*cries in my obvious lack of dedication*

I have a very deep, even voice, but still somewhat feminine.
When I get into a groove though I sound like I’m in an educational video or something.

OH I AM NOT JOINING THIS CONVERSATION

I’m having.. writing problems XD

can I just
say I suffer from the same condition
and get away unscathed?

HaS mY wHoLe LIFE BEen A LiE?!
what if I’m tone deaf? I have been told by many people my singing voice is good but what if I’m tone deaf and they have all been lying to me?! Oh gosh.....
This is what happens when you tell someone their voice sounds different inside their head! I go mad! So that means all the times I think I have hit a good note I have not?! Oh gosh

SEE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN Y'ALL START CONVERSATIONS LIKE THAT
SHAME, SHAME

Sooo, my mom's sick and I'm currently pretty busy, plus alerts haven't been working, so if I don't reply, Lilith and Kylan are probably just nodding along.

Oh, naw, bro, I'll pray that she recovers quick. :/

So... I did go look at the first little bit of WCBH, and I need to gouge my eyes out now.

I didn't even know how to reply to someones post back then. I couldn't tell who I was replying to. And and, ahhh, it was baaaaad.

KATE WHY

*looks at roleplay*
are we in frozen

o h n o

she lives
View attachment 2258956

the lies we tell ourselves

Asjakshka I'm so behind

?????????????????????????????????

Not for long lol

LOOK AT THIS WOMAN
SHE'S CONNECTED WITH REALITY
WHAT TALENT

Hmmmm, I want to have Kipp suggest something, but it's not a great idea considering real life things...

- getting Aria and "zappy boy" to take the kids to safety and everyone else turn and face the trolls.

BUT, that would mean if Riv isn't around Aria will pretty much stop. :/ it'd be fun to see how they would deal with keeping the kids out of trouble together. And it would force them to interact.

Maybe it can wait till River is able to be around. Or maybe it won't happen at all.

I'm sure I'm going to need this

I like this idea! Mom's feeling better and stuff is starting to calm back down, so I'll probably read through and reply to everything tomorrow (Super tired rn)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU GO MOM

View attachment 2260814there goes Take

AND ME TOO

 

[HeavensHens88]

[P.439] (I'm being bad and starting this up from before they went back to Earth.... I do not have permission... I also don't know how much I'll be able to RP, but not RPing sucks.... To the point of i amy have sent Kipp to another planet to play with my sister's character. And shhh don't tell her I'm ignoring her most recent post to start this up instead, cause it's a lot more fun with a million people and she won't come to BYC, i realize this is terribly long, there's a bit of recap from Kipp's POV and then a bit added on to the end. The first sentence of new stuff has a bold word in it so you can skip the recap if you'd like.
Sorry frankie, and butterscotch i took a little bit of liberty with your characters. )

"Ashira, Blair come on, let's go." He said bending down to pick up the tiny sleeping girl.

"I don’t know where it goes, but as long as it's away from here I don’t really care." He said, stepping through to the other side, stumbling awkwardly and somehow landing on his feet as he fell through a far too small mirror on the other side. He only glanced briefly at the grey haired stranger holding the mirror. Worriedly checking his surroundings for anything familiar good or bad. The piles of metal objects, sparkling in an unknown light source were a complete shock. He’d never seen a place like this before.

Somewhere nearby he heard tiny Kyle’s voice drawing his attention away, “Child labor place? Take! You’re awesome!” Take was here grinning smugly down at Kyle, with a frustrated Fred standing next to him, a scowl on his face, as he started chewing Take out for taking all the credit.

A far less annoying feminine voice came from behind him.

”Kipp... did they... cut your wings?” Kipp turned at his name, nearly dropping the tiny faun girl when he saw Cam. He didn't drop her, hugging the little girl to his chest instead as he stared in disbelief.

Cam, in a pretty blue dress standing next to the grey haired guy, and Noah standing next to her crying into a fistful of her skirt. "I'm still asleep?" He whispered, the pain he was feeling would say otherwise, but it seemed impossible that he’d see her again. "Cam?"

“Where did they take you?” Cam asked, stepping closer to him and goggling at the adorable fawn-child in his hands, brushing the long strands of hair from the child's face.

"Uhh, I don't really kn-" His mumbling was cut off by her excited squeak.

“None of us are dead!” she squealed, a huge grin spreading across her face as she suddenly pulled him into a hug. Heat rose in his cheeks as she pulled him in. He wished he could have hugged her back, but accepted leaning his head against hers would do. "Yeah, we're ok."

“You don’t know what happened to you?” Cam asked, dropping her arms and tilting her head to the side. “What did they do to your wings? I’m so sorry about that... are you hurt? Does it hurt?”

"No, I do." He answered studying her face as she pulled away. Dismissing the idea that she had any interest in him besides proximity.
"I'm..." He shook his head gently, looking down at his toes. "Fred's hurt worse than I am."

“What happened?” Cam asked again, pressing him for the details he didn’t want to give. Her eyes searched the dimly lit cavern locating Fred nearby who had given up on his argument with Take and sat himself on the floor instead. “Fred, do you need any medical attention?” She asked, going over to him. Kipp followed realizing that Noah had vanished to another part of the cave to mess with stuff. That kid always seemed to have energy, probably capable of getting himself in trouble in a locked padded room. Kipp shrugged dismissing her questions again. She seemed preoccupied with Fred anyway.Beside Fred was the man who’d been next to him in the cave before, with several other sleeping kids next to him. That would work as a place to set down the sleeping dead weight in his arms.

“Hmm? Oh no just some water to get the blood off” Fred responded.

“Oh. Well there’s loads of it out there,” Cam waved vaguely at the downpour outside. “Care for a little shower?” she asked, a crooked smile crossing her face.

Kipp moved to set the little girl down next to Grafe, rolling his eyes at Fred's answer. "You’re joking right? You had a fever this morning. Go track down that big Russian guy and get him to patch you up before you die."

“I’ll be fine.” Fred said, rolling his eyes back at him dramatically. “I can always get something for my back when I get home.”

“Fever?” Cam echoed. “That doesn’t sound like something water can fix.”

“I’m fine. Seriously!” Fred said brushing off their concern.

"You're freaking kidding!" Kipp growled as Cam left to take care of Noah who’d started yelling about something. He stood with a scowl on his face, completely done with Fred's insufferable lack of common sense. "Get up." He demanded, grabbing Fred's arm and dragging the 11 year old to his feet before he was able to stand on his own. "You're going to get healed! Stop being so stupid!" Kipp dragged Fred over to Kevin despite his protests and pouting, practically throwing the sulking kid in Kevin's lap.

"I'm fine!" Fred insisted whining yet again to Kevin who was looking between Kipp and Fred, startled by their sudden appearance.

"He's not fine." Kipp said angrily, contradicting him, crossing his arms over his chest and glaring down at Fred. "And I'm not leaving until you're healed. So stop complaining!"


Kevin who to this point had barely interacted with Kipp shrugged and shook his head. He didn't know why Kipp was so worked up about it, and aside from the fact that he was already nearing exhaustion from healing Torrin, pushed through and healed what he could of Fred's injuries.

Kipp relaxed slightly as the gentle green glow emanated from Kevin's hands. Knowing that his one young friend would survive his injuries despite his best efforts to the contrary was a relief. Kevin didn't seem to be quite as intimidating as he had been before. And his unquestioning silence certainly made things a lot simpler.

Now that he thought about it Kevin had never seemed to be one for many words. The last time he’d interacted with him was when Kevin had shoved him out of the way to take care of Cam. That felt like ages ago now. Kipp's wandering thoughts led his eyes away from Fred’s scowling face, to Cam who was sitting next to Noah. Who had somehow gotten his hands on some dried meat. Kipp’s stomach growled, reminding him that not only had he barely eaten for several days, anything he had eaten recently had been emptied out of his stomach hours ago when he'd thrown up.

He shot another warning glance at Fred, before leaving him with Kevin. He didn't really want to ask anyone for food, or help. But if he was going to force Fred to get help, he'd have to be willing to get help for himself too.

Water would be easier he decided, getting that first would keep him from having to answer everyone’s questions, and it would get him out of the cave which though welcoming, with all of his friends there, also had the oppressive stench of manure. Or maybe that was just him.

So he made his way to the cave entrance, stopping to peer at a giant dead dragon. He'd only kind of been listening to what Take had said about there being dragons on this planet. He'd mostly dismissed the idea, thinking Take had made it up to give the kids something exciting to think about to keep them going.

But now laying on the ground before him was a giant red-feathered lizard. He edged closer to it, unsure if it was actually dead, or just sleeping. Though maybe he didn’t want to know. If it was still alive waking it up would likely be dangerous. He frowned down at the giant head that was nearly as long as he was tall, silently deciding he wouldn’t disturb it, since he’d so perfectly fit inside it’s mouth.

The rain pelted down just outside the mouth of the cave, hissing and roaring as it cascaded down in sheets across the rocky ground. The sky flickered with lightning, illuminating the forest below. He wasn’t sure exactly where he was, but it looked vastly different from the beach that he’d been on a short time ago.

Kipp cupped his hands under a stream of water that dripped from above, running down the rocks overhead, and drank. He hadn’t had real water in days. The salty broth that he’d been given as food being the only source of hydration. He didn’t bother waiting to wash the grime off his hands, the cold water stinging his knuckles as it ran over the cuts. The cold water was exactly what he needed, though the fuzzy grime on his teeth made it slightly less enjoyable.

He grimaced, spitting the last bit of water on the ground, and rubbing a less than clean finger over his teeth in a futile attempt to clean them. Spitting again before heading back into the cave to look for food. Fred had mentioned going back home, but somehow, Kipp had a feeling they wouldn’t be going home any time soon. After all, how could they just leave all those kids there trapped? Sure it wasn’t their business it wasn’t even their planet, but what kind of people would they be if they didn’t make it their business? Could he really live with himself knowing that out there somewhere there were children trapped being forced to work that he could have helped?

He sighed, the weariness pulling his eyes shut as he walked. He knew he’d insist on helping them if the topic came up, but right now he was in no shape to do anything. Getting himself caught again wasn’t going to help anyone. He rubbed his eye with the heel of his hand, opening his eyes so he didn’t trip on his way back down into the interior where everyone else was, their conversation reached him, loud even where he was the words all smashed together and nonsensical. He didn’t particularly want to go back down there, even though he would like to see Cam, he knew she’d just have more questions for him, and right now he was far more interested in sleep.

He paused in his progress down the narrow corridor, a previously unnoticed passage opening under his trailing hand. He was hungry, but the water had satiated his hunger enough that sleep was a higher priority. And what better place to sleep than a hidden tunnel that he could have all to himself? Kipp bit at his lip, looking back toward the flickering light that was coming from his companions. A nervousness twisting his stomach at the thought of being separated from them. All the bad things happened whenever they were separated.

He shook his head, it wasn’t like he was going far, and Blair was with them. Her nose would be able to find him easily if they really needed him. He ran a hand through his greasy hair ignoring the nagging feeling, and slipped into the side tunnel picking his way down past the jutting boulders and hanging roots. All the possibilities of what he might find on the other end ran through his head, more dragons, giant spiders, or maybe there’d just not be ground under his foot for one step and he’d fall flightless down into the belly of the planet never to be seen again.

What he saw when he finally passed into an open chamber was none of those things. Instead it was a large flat dais, similar to the one he’d seen when he first arrived here, though smaller. This one also unlike the other held a large stone tablet, that stood taller than him, and a good four foot wide at least. Intricate scrawling symbols played over it’s surface glowing with an eerie blue light. Kipp stared up at it, his mouth hanging open, he knew better than to approach something like that, it was probably another warping stone. The last thing he needed was to be zapped to some other location.

He took a step back, turning quickly and going back the way he'd come.

I lied to myself

I wasn't ready for this
