Tag Game: Find the Word (Round 2!)
I've been tagged by @faytelumos (thanks!) so here's more snippets of my various WIPS.
My words are: hungry, messy, laugh, stomp, and blue.
Hungry - Trials of the Six, Scene 41
“Those questions are also on my mind, yes. But I haven’t met very many Ilunians, and it surprised me how similar you look to a friend of mine.” His captor regarded him with an expression on the verge of amusement. “Huh. Might hail from the same fleet. Hungry?”
Messy - An Immortal Thief
‘Blessed’ by the goddess, just like I was, those knives have the ability to inflict wounds that resist the average methods of healing, and they can incapacitate a guard with only a slice to the shoulder rather than the throat. They make stealth missions a lot easier and less messy. If I lose them, the goddess wouldn’t be too pleased with me.
Laugh - Trials of the Six, Scene 7
“What are you two even talking about?” Korfel demanded from near the sail, clearly exasperated.  Jarsali stuck her tongue out at him. “You’re just bitter. Laugh once in a while.” “I laugh!” “Not when I’m around you don’t!”
Stomp - The Legend of Orian Goldeneye
Jas laughed and stomped on the smooth, glass-like rock. Killian expected it to crack like ice, but it held firm. “Come on,” she said, “let’s look inside.”
Blue - The Hunter, the Myth and the Cure, Chapter 19
“This place is a curse,” he hissed, a small plume of blue flame escaping his lips, “you wouldn’t believe the amount of souls roaming unclaimed upon these grounds. Don’t let me add yours to the number.” “Are you done?” The one on the left, an elf, asked impatiently. “Because you’re just embarrassing yourself.”
Gently tagging @gamerkats @chronicallydragons @smudgedredink @themswritinwords @late-to-the-fandom (also open as usual)
Your words are: side, scatter, listen and study.
Happy searching!

The Dangers of Jumping, Part 2
WoW Birthday Whump, Day 14: Chased
Whumpril Day 24 ("Brace yourself"), Day 25 (No time to rest)
WoW Birthday Whump Prompts List
Whumpril Prompts List
The Legend of Orian Goldeneye Masterpost
part 1
TW: chased, unconsciousness, head injury, dizziness, swearing
Context: Killian's still unconscious, and now Jas is running for their lives from a very pissed-off plant.
-----
Of course the fucking trees were alive.
Alive and very, very angry.
At least, Jas assumed it was angry. It wouldn’t be chasing her if it was happy or sad or annoyed or—
Well, maybe if it was annoyed.
“I said I was sorry!” She yelled, running desperately for her life. Well, her and Killian’s lives. The fabergé egg of a human was still unconscious. “If I’d known you could feel pain,” she continued between gasps of air, “I wouldn’t have jumped on you!”
The pine tree’s furious stomping was her only response. Thank God it was slow. Even with Killian across her shoulders, she could stay ahead of it. But she couldn’t outrun it forever. And if more of them showed up….
Jas kept running, swerving around the regular, boring, immobile trees, trying to lose the angry one in the darkness. But the thing kept on her trail. Did it even have eyes? Ears? How did it know where she was? Vibrations in the ground, maybe?
Not much she could do if it was that. She just had to get to the light she’d seen from the cliff. Maybe whoever was there could—
Jas's foot struck an unseen root, and she pitched forward and landed heavily on the ground. She cursed as she scrambled forward, trying to regain her footing, but the root wrapped around her ankle and dragged her backward. Thinking quickly, Jas pushed Killian off her shoulders and let the root pull her, scrabbling through the bag for anything useful.
A knife to cut the root, a flamethrower to burn the forest down, something.
The pine tree lifted her off the ground, upside down, and glared at her with something that resembled a face carved into the bark. The base of its trunk had split, forming crude legs, and rough ‘arms’ had formed from a combination of trunk and branch. Jas held on tightly to the bag but gave up searching for a weapon. 
“Look,” Jas said, getting dizzy from the blood rushing to her head, “I realize that I hurt you when I jumped from the cliff, and for that I’m sorry. But he—” she pointed back to Killian— “is injured, and will probably die if I don’t patch him up.”
The tree didn’t react. Maybe it really didn’t have ears. They stared at each other for a few seconds that stretched into minutes.
“So…” Jas began, “are you going to kill me, or—”
The tree let go of her without warning, sending her to the dirt. Pain exploded in Jas’s head as she slammed into the ground, the headache returning in full force. She watched in a daze as it turned and stomped away into the darkness; the only traces of its passage were the strangely shaped footprints left behind in the dirt. Despite its size, it had not broken a single tree branch.
Exhaling slowly, she picked herself up off the ground, slinging the bag back over her shoulder. Pain hammered in her skull, but she had to keep moving. Something might have scared it off, and what if—
“...Jas?”
She jumped and whirled around to find Killian carefully sitting up, hand clutching the side of his head. “Was that… a tree?”
Jas quickly glanced over her shoulder. “Uh… yep.”
“And it was walking….”
“...yep.”
“How…?”
Jas just shrugged. “Dunno. I kind of pissed it off after I jumped on it and broke some branches, but it didn’t seem interested in killing me, so….” She handed him his jacket. “There’s a camp not far from here, I think. I’m hoping we can find help and shelter there so I can patch you up.”
Killian blinked. “Jumped… on… it…?” He glanced down at the bruises on his arms and back at her before slipping on the jacket. “Patch me up? Jas….”
“It looks worse than it is,” Jas waved him off, grabbing his hand. “Brace yourself.” She yanked him to his feet. 
Killian’s eyes glazed over, and the color flooded out of his face. He staggered, leaning heavily on Jas for support. “Oh… okay… I see that now….”
“Can you walk?”
He paused, thinking. “I think so….”
“Good. We don’t have time to rest here, we don’t know what else is hiding in these woods.” Or the tree might come back. Either way, Jas didn’t want to be here for any longer than necessary.
“Do you have the Pendant!”
Jas showed him the chain under her shirt. “It’s in better condition than both of us combined.”
Killian nodded and steeled himself. “Okay. Let’s go.”

Tag Game: ROYGBIV
Thank you to @willtheweaver for the tag!
Rules: Find the main rainbow colors in your WIP!
I honestly have no idea how much I use color as a descriptor, it's either way too much or not enough. I highly doubt I'll find indigo that's for sure.
The Hunter, the Myth and the Cure (Tales from Valaria)
Red: He paused next to a large shrub with red berries at the bottom of a hill. The scent of blood was stronger.
The Legend of Orian Goldeneye
Orange: The cell had one occupant, a young man with dark, messy hair and a brownish-orange jacket. He was curled up in the farthest corner of the cell from the entrance, watching the group warily.
The Hunter, the Myth and the Cure
Yellow:  Blood stained its massive claws and teeth, and the primal desire for fresh meat glittered in its yellow eyes.
Green: The guard hesitated and pulled off his uniform coat, a simple jacket with unorthodox splashes of green and brown, more like a camouflaged coat for hunters.
Blue: Octavian rubbed his arms vigorously. His lips appeared blue in the poor light. “Should I?”
Indigo: As I thought, no sign of indigo...
Cinderheart
Violet: Jin opened her eyes to find the sky above the battlefields streaked with brilliant reds, yellows, and violets, the stars beginning to show themselves at the edge of the night. She was cold. So very cold.

❗ and 💩 for this ask game?
❗- Which nominally "bad" character do you enjoy writing the most?
Villains who have the moral high ground from their view point are my jam, and Azura from The Legend of Orian Goldeneye is the perfect example of this. She has a revenge quest grounded in a legitimate issue, but she doesn't care who else she has to kill to reach her goals.
💩- How many of your characters have self-esteem issues and are you aware that we all enjoy your presence on the hellsite?
Uhhhh Orian due to his neglect and being shoved into a role much too big for him.
Glad to hear my presence is tolerable! :D

Regrets of the Past
WoW Birthday Event Day 3: Crying / Parting Words Regret / "Why…?"
Whumpril Day 3 (Shame)
WoW Birthday Event Prompts List
Whumpril Prompts List
The Legend of Orian Goldeneye Masterpost
Context: Conversations around a campfire in-between disasters. Killian proves surprisingly adept at comforting a friend.
-----
It was late. Killian should have turned in an hour ago, but something about the way Jas had been acting this evening was bothering him. She was usually loud and boisterous, a presence to be noticed unless she didn’t want you to.
But tonight, Jas was quiet and subdued, almost invisible in the darkness. Something was bugging her. 
And Killian didn’t know how to bring it up. When she went to bed, he resigned himself to ask her in the morning. But he didn’t turn in. Instead, he pulled his jacket tighter around himself and stared into the crackling flames of the small campfire.
It was only when the soft sounds of muffled crying reached his ears that he realized he needed to step in. “Jas?” He asked, in a voice barely above a whisper.
The sobbing cut off abruptly as she took a ragged breath before answering. “Yeah?”
“What… uh… what’s wrong?”
“Nothing!”
Her response came too quickly, voice wavering.
Killian wanted to press her, but he knew she wouldn’t tell him anything unless she wanted to. He considered his words carefully before responding. “Okay… if you want to talk, you can. I’m not going anywhere.”
Only silence met his words. He slowly exhaled before stretching out on the hard ground, the fire’s warmth at his back. He was beginning to drift off when Jas finally spoke.
“Before… before I came here… I had a fight. With a close friend of mine. We were both having a rough day, I think, and she scolded me for being too loud while doing something. I… I took it way too personally.” 
Her voice faltered, but she pressed on. “It escalated pretty badly. We both said a lot of stupid things. And I… I told her I hated her. Then I ran away. A few hours later that portal opened up. And now the last thing she’s gonna remember about me is that I hate her.”
Killian sat up and stared at her. She faced away from him, her arm acting as a makeshift pillow under her head. “Jas… I…” he began hesitantly.
“Why…?” she mumbled, barely audible, “Why did I say those things to her? She didn’t deserve any of that.”
“It… it sounds like you were both frustrated to begin with. And you said you were close. She probably knows you didn’t mean it. Not really.”
She glanced over her shoulder at him quizzically. Heat began to flood Killian’s face, but he forced himself to finish. “You’ve been gone what, several days now? She’s probably as worried about you as you said your parents are. And… and she’s probably thinking about the things she said to you, too. When you… when you get back, and you apologize, she might not even remember what started the fight in the first place.”
Jas hummed softly in thought as she sat up, wiping away the remnants of tears from her face. “Makes sense… I just wish we never had the argument at all.”
“Have you had fights before?”
“Yeah… but they were nowhere near as bad.”
Killian fidgeted with his jacket sleeves. “I… I’m sure that your friendship is stong enough to grow past that. Even though…” he waved his hand vaguely.
Jas snorted. “I don’t know how to even start explaining myself when I get home. Or even to get home in the first place.” She sighed and stared out into the darkness. “One problem at a time.”
Killian nodded and made a noise of agreement. One problem at a time.

Tag Game: Heads Up Seven Up
I've been tagged by @thewritingautisticat!
Rules: post the last seven lines you wrote
I've been reworking on of my WIPS (The Legend of Orian Goldeneye) basically from scratch because I wasn't happy with the beginning and at this point it's turned into a full-blown rewrite. This is one I'm hoping to eventually get posted to Tumblr and AO3 but that's gonna take a while.
Jas slowly turned, afraid of what she might find. What she saw still felt like a punch in the gut. Her own body was slumped on the bench, eyes closed. Was her chest moving? She couldn’t tell. “What the hell did you do to me?” She demanded, turning on the boy. “Am I dead? Did you kill us?” The boy flinched back. Killian stepped in front of him protectively. “He’s here to help."
This is incredibly confusing out of context, I realize. Oh well.

Tag Game: OC Questionnaire (Round 2!)
Thank you to @willtheweaver for the tag!
My questions:
1. Did you have any formal education? If so, what was it like?
2. What is your stance on friends and friendship?
3. How would you describe your relationship with your family?
Gently tagging @fourwingedwriter @writingphoenix @phoenixradiant @illarian-rambling @chronicallydragons @theeccentricraven @thethistlegirl @catwingsathena and open tag!
Your questions:
1. If you had to fight a member of the Fellowship of the Ring (Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Boromir, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli), who would you pick? (assume they know what the Fellowship is)
2. Would you win?
3. If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only bring one object, what could it be?
---
Representatives from all my posted WIPs will be answering today.
Did you have any formal education? If so, what was it like?
Jas (The Legend of Orian Goldeneye): Yeah, it was pretty standard for the United States. Graduated high school, went to college, got a STEM degree. The whole dreamshaper slash Jumper thing defies a lot of the stuff I know, but a physics background can be surprisingly useful. Ollie (Forsaken: The Doomed City): Not really. I know a lot of 'basic' things, but it was all stuff I read in books. Hiel (Trials of the Six): Well, I'm fluent in two languages, so I had to learn that somewhere, right? Pretty sure there aren't any schools for Mages in the Permafrost, so that would've been self-taught. Luc (Tales from Valaria): Graduated from the school system in Caenum, then studied to become a Watcher under my uncle, where I learned a lot about legal loopholes. And fighting, I suppose.
What is your stance on friends and friendship?
Jas: Would kill for them. End of story. If you want to hurt them, you're going to have to go through me, and you ain't surviving that encounter, buddy. Even if I haven't known them all that long. Ollie: I love my friends to pieces and would never abandon them but... *side-eyes the rest of their group* Any day we've all made it through without dying is a good day. Hiel: It's... interesting... to say the least. I had to get to know everyone all over again, and that certainly effected the group. But they helped me, and I feel obligated to do the same. Luc: That's an interesting question. An interesting question indeed.
How would you describe your relationship with your family?
Jas: Well, it's good enough that I'm sure my parents have noticed I'm gone. Dunno if they'd believe me about the whole dreamshaper slash Jumper shit. Ollie: I have... had... an older sister who taught me everything I know. Now Rowan, Sam and Victoria are my family. Hiel: *shrugs* Luc: I honestly don't know how my mother let my uncle mentor me to become a Watcher. We both thought she was going to murder him after I almost died. She discouraged my little siblings from following in my footsteps, that's for sure.

Tag Game: Bridgekeeper OC Questions
Thanks to @phoenixradiant for the new tag game! This looks super fun!
Rules and original post here, and based on this scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
My questions are:
Are you really who you say you are? (i.e. does the OC have a false image they present to the world?)
What would you die to protect?
What is your least favorite food?
Gonna do it for my main trio in The Legend of Orian Goldeneye.
Are you really who you say you are?
Jas: *scoffs* "Are you calling me a liar? Of course I am." Killian: *hesitates briefly* "To the best of my knowledge, I am. Yes." Orian: *eyes downcast* "I am who I need to be."
2. What would you die to protect?
Jas: "I'd rather not, but it would be for those I care about." Killian: *hand goes to his pendant* "I... I think it would be for this." Orian: "The balance... it is my duty."
3. What is your least favorite food?
Jas: "Stuffing. The texture is literally just soggy bread, and it makes me gag." Killian: "I currently don't have one." Orian: "Bananas."

You're faced with a locked door.
Shouting echoes from the maze of hallways and rooms behind you. The city garrison knows you've escaped, and it won't be long before they find you. You need to get out of here and fast.
Your invisible guide (Spirit? Soul? Something else? You can't be sure) tugs on your arm. The only way out is this door. You try the handle. It is locked.
You have a short club, your fists, the cell phone in your pocket, the invisible guide, and another former prisoner (who has a bag).
[based off a scene I just wrote in The Legend of Orian Goldeneye]

What's your favorite trope to write?
Ooooooo I had to think long and hard about this one.
I think my top three general tropes are amnesia, protagonist in fantasy story is just Some Guy, and interdimensional travel (I call it Jumping or Traveling).
Amnesia is just so fun because the character used to be somebody, and they have evidence of that somebody through people who used to know them or items they owned. But they have to rediscover that person and the journey fundamentally changes who they are.
Draven is a prime example of Some Guy in a fantasy story. I've never been the biggest fan of the chosen one trope where it's played as "the protagonist has super special powers and they must defeat this ancient evil or whatever". I still like giving my main characters powers but when they aren't special it becomes more like "well this is messed up, someone has to deal with this so I guess it's gonna be me". And when that character doesn't have powers, it becomes a case of "I may not be able to do everything you magic people can but I'm just as capable with or without this gun".
And then interdimensional travel is fun because I can explain why I decided to stick Octavian and Draven in The Legend of Orian Goldeneye when they are from a completely different planet.
For whump tropes my favorite is immortal whump, because there's so much more I can do to an immortal victim that I can't with a normal whumpee, since I prefer realistic whump alongside magic whump. I also like the used as bait trope, sickfics, etc.
