BlueWildRye he/him Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Rye finally woke up and strolled down the stairs and into the common room, then realized he'd forgotten to put his hood on. He quickly did so before anyone had time to make out his features, and smiled awkwardly. "Hello, everyone. I assume that witch hunter left?" *** Sutter began walking towards the stables, to find his horse and ride back to Issor. Nelan and the gang would certainly be angry with him, but really, who could blame him for wanting to relax a little before the execution? As he finally found his gangly brown mare, named Jest, a hand grabbed him by the shoulder and spun him around. "NELAN?" Sutter yelped, quickly jumping back. His cousin stood, surrounded by the rest of the witch hunters, enraged expressions on their faces. "That demon escaped," muttered Nelan in frustration. "Tell me. Did he come back?" "I... I don't know! I thought I felt the presence of a witch in the room, but I was a little drunk, and..." Sutter was unable to finish his thought as Nelan dragged him out of the stables. Another hunter threw his club at him, which he managed to catch. "We're going back into the inn," Nelan declared, "And this time, I don't care if we burn it down." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spark of Hope Oompa/Loompa/Doopidy/Doo Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 A candle flickered on her shelf. She was scared of the dark, so she always lit candles at night to scare away the darkness. They always sputtered out after she had fallen asleep. Jolane covered herself in her blanket. It was thin, but warm. Cozy. She'd had it for as long as she could remember. Even after eighteen years, it hadn't lost the scent of where it had been before. Orange, violet, rose, and sandalwood... It was comforting. And it was the only hint she had about what might have been her home. Some nights (tonight being one of them), she pulled the blanket over her head and formed a bubble around her and the stuffed bird on the mat. It completely enveloped her in the smell, and it helped her sleep the nights when she struggled to. She sighed. Sure, she wished she could go to her home sometimes. But home... could it even really be called that? She had no clue who lived there, anything about them. Well, anything apart from the fact that they owed Robert a debt. Besides, some things were guaranteed to her here. Food, shelter, work... The internal debate almost ripped her apart at times. She couldn't run - she'd just be brought back to Robert with less freedoms. She had no clue where to go even if she made it out of the village. Yes, she longed for more in life. But there were things she had here that she was scared to give up. ~~~ Robert came over to July. "You can call it a night, if you want." @J.

J. Magi she/her Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 July stood up. Robert was right, it really was getting late. And he had to work tommorrow. "Well, if everything's settled, I'm going to go turn in . . . it's been a long day." July said. August nodded, "Sleep well." He'd have to rent a room for himself, but he didn't feel like sleeping yet. He still had too much pent up energy from rushing here. What to do with himself now? July always had a knack for finding problems they didn't have time to solve. Maybe he could deal with this quickly so they could move on. He traced his gloved finger along a groove in the wooden table. If things went too slowly he could always just take July and run. @The Bookwyrm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
