==> Be the intrepid explorer.

Of course you are THE intrepid explorer. There’s probably no explorer more intrepid than you considering you’ve returned to an area you said you wouldn’t return to, all in the name of treasure.

Though other people might disagree, you don’t consider yourself a coward. You just have a high liking for staying alive, so after the encounter with the dragon a while ago, you hadn’t been too keen to return anywhere near the cave. Sure enough, you’re not that close to it, but still…

However, when Srevni had told you about some castle ruins which possibly held intact treasure inside, you couldn’t resist. Ruins meant abandoned. There might be trolls hiding in them and you had fought other treasure hunters before, but they weren’t dragons! You could handle that just fine.

This time you make sure to very carefully hide your hoverbike a few ways from your destination, but far enough from the town that no one would get the itch to steal it, and then start the treck to the top of the hill that supposedly has the ruins.

Except you really can’t see any ruins anywhere. You see a whole castle in a clean state and definitely not falling apart. Something is definitely odd about it. You take a picture and send it to Srevni, and then try the front door.

The things you hold onto, the ones that tangle you deep inside.

Warran was charged with getting Amelia a haircut and rewarded her with ice cream for not biting or scratching the stylist.

oh yeah I'm aware of that! and Linnae + Fleure's dragon forms are based on Eastern dragons and have big decorative frills rather than proper wings too, but they're capable of flight

>> Rather roughly you're thrown against a wall, hoping the pain in your shoulder and back is worth it and that someone heard the noise. Processing what the screaming clown in front of you is saying is difficult, but you're sure it's nothing new.

>> He wasn't even original with his gifts, why would his words be any different?

>> The gun in his hand was new, but he was waving it around more like a prop than a weapon, somehow making you more tense and more relaxed at the same time. You have no idea if he's stupid enough to wave something like that around while loaded, and you'd rather not find out, really, even if you hope it's not loaded.

>> Thankfully for your sanity your lack of response frustrates him and he walks away with his arms thrown up to avoid looking at your 'stupid face' that he claims to love so much.

>> Your binds are far too tight to even try to wriggle out of so you may as well get comfortable... The cold metal siding of this.... Warehouse? With how his voice is echoing it sure sounds like one. With how cold the metal behind you is you opt for leaning over your knees. If you make it out of this you'd rather not deal with frostbite.

>> All you can do now is wait for him to return and quietly cry to yourself. At least from what you can see where he's headed off to isn't in sight with the large items taking up space in this building.

Oh geez, I feel like this is always changing for me because I keep getting to know amazing new people and amazing new characters. I think I'll just name a few blogs and list my favorites from there, as I don't think I can pick out of the entire community when it's full of people I also don't know or haven't interacted with (yet!).

Quite a few of them belong to my partner @mageofspacemultiverse as I've known those the longest and have quite a few ships between us. A few of my favorite characters from him are Zomson, Hidelord, Devaron, and Pixcel. Each character of his is unique and has interesting backstories and personality, and yet every one of them is so on-brand for his blog.

From @thestarlightbrigade I have always adored Deltra and MY LIL MAN HIBUKI. Special shout out to Iiboye too. Lots of edgy angsty characters but each one is a specific flavor that never gets tiring. Avery's vibe is I'm shaking him by the shoulders and biting him affectionately. That is to say, he's a fun guy and silly to talk to. Prepare to get cat-gif'd.

@stuckstucktrolls I thirsted after Viktor since day 1 bruh. He's the Troll I am most familiar with besides Teagan. Creative characters and also very pretty, the lot of them. Cool cat boy cryptid gets the seal of approval from royal moth cryptid.

@goddesstrolls Kairos and Kairne. Ik Kairne isn't on the blog anymore but I thought he was pretty damn neat tbh. One of the first characters I knew Bast by. Also um... my (ex)wife Akidis, I love her to bits and pieces, and my male-wife Darvai. Buff women and bastard men run this blog, and all the world build and narratives Bast has come up with over the years are SO -chefs kiss- .

@miks-fantrolls Antemh <3 Sticking him under a microscope fr. I don't know a lot about anyone else, but maybe that'll change sometime. I don't know a lot about Mik but I personally think he's cool af. Mik if you're reading this I'm staring at you with wet pathetic eyes and offering you an egg in these trying times.

@roetrolls Veylin <3 She makes my heart happy. Also Franky, I would give him the world. Mallum is up there, too. Roe makes a lot of characters that are compelling, friend-shaped, and possesses you with the Funny Horrors (aka I can't stop laughing every time I see 'Dominion' on a street sign or pub. Like, it's the kind of joy that's like 'I know that guy! That guy belongs to this really cool person that I look up to! How silly that he has a bar named after him!' )

@sasster ...................... Redivi.................. Look, one could argue and say it's because he's a vampire and I'm absolutely a vampire simp 100%. But. But he's *terrifying* and that's a big reason why he's a favorite Chase Troll of mine. Compelling, scary, but recognizable as people we may know in our every day lives. An ever so loved face and name, but there's always something behind the scenes that we can't see. There's a performance for the world, while on back stage the true colors show. Mind you, I am extremely behind in the lore of the blog, but that guy? Man. That guy.

@windy-trickster -slaps the top of this guy's blog- This blog can fit so many funky lil dudes filled with unique lore and fantastic personalities and oh my god the angst. My favorites among them are Doleos, Rastho, and Althor. Windy is a creative writer and puts SO much love into his characters. Like for real, it's always a pleasure listening to him talk about them. It's clear he puts in a lot of love and effort into his guys, and I think y'all should go and see that for yourself.

@askthehiddencaste Shuska and Ashoal. I feel like Shuska is the face of the blog (i mean, the entire theme is a library, so), and she's such a charming character. Warm, friendly, but she's STRONG in spirit. Ashoal and Shuska are the two I'm most familiar with aside from Heliel (I want that goopy man carnally). Kanny has a lot of fascinating characters that all feel like a natural family to me. I could hang out with their characters and feel right at home.

@experimental-failures The only one I'm familiar with is Nix, so I guess he's my favorite by proxy-- BUT! I've always thought Nix was very neat. He feels like a guy I can run into out on the street irl. He feels so real to me, and it's always a pleasure.

@the-rainbow-overflow Elnric and Viroxa. Two very interesting characters for vastly different reasons, lol! I love the alternate timeline stuff Elnric has going on, and I feel soft for this guy mostly because it's the first Troll I knew Dusk by. Viroxa is... oh boy, god damn, a bastard? Such a manipulative and cunning guy where the ends justify the means, and I am OBSESSED. Bonus points that he's a scientist guy, ya know? We all love unhinged scientists. Kissing him on the cheek even if he may take my lips as donation and sew it onto someone else. Special mention to Makona as well, I am unwell about HISStory of Violence <3

@trollbreak Um, Bladed, teehee -twirls hair- Jonah has SOOO many lil guys. Silly lil guys! Some of these silly lil guys commit murder and treason! Some of them will give you plushies and Autism Creature stare at you as a means of friendship. Heehoo is my ultimate favorite, and Bladed is close second, but I adore Jonah and all of their characters.

@clown-fuckers-r-us Montague!!!! MONTAGUE!!!! MY BELOVED!!! CRYING WEEPING AAAAAAAA-- ahem. So um Montague is my favorite, he's so cool? I'm so invested in his story and not just because I have a ship going with that guy but his concept is so intresting??? A Purple with anger issues, rich and privileged but kind and loving-- now ruined by a broken mind and psyche, his one scrap of salvation that keeps him from fully losing himself being the memory of a lover that he hasn't seen since before the war on Limebloods... You should definitely go share some love with Bun, the mun of the blog; she's an AMAZING person, truly a wonderful friend, and one of the most nicest people I know.

@moonlit-trolls Tythus by far. It's been SO neat seeing Tythus grow and develop as a character. Moona and I made Ptillo and Tythus together, and while Tythus had some shaky beginnings as Moona was figuring him out, it definitely solidified and paid off in the end. Tythus is a compelling villain imo with complex goals and ambitions. Not to mention what a SILVER FOX HE IS GOD DAMN. You go girl, make that man hot and pathetic <3

Closed w @goddesstrolls​

> It had been two weeks since you sort of..ran out on Harkes.

> You didn’t entirely forget about it you just didn’t think it was a big deal.

> Not until’ the middle of the second week you heard nothing from him. Now granted you understood someone can be busy. Hell you barely hear from Kani for months on end...but that’s because you never hit her up. She’s going through things after all and you didn’t want to come off as needy or clingy.

> But you at least expected an explanation of what went down and a ‘btw this is my number’ and you would’ve explained why you had to get out of there.

> Now you stood in your quiet teahouse-slash-spiritual shop staring blankly out the paned windows of the storefront wondering if you fucked up.

> Not so much fucked up as in giving your number to someone you knew all of five minutes. You can easily change your number.

> Fucked up in the sense that you left the poor dude wondering what he did wrong.

> Granted...there’s a lot of shit he kind of did wrong..out of context anyway. And your guard was still kind of up with him but the vibes you were getting from him were a lot less murder-y than most folks you run into.

> Plus he just told the guy to freeze and the fella likely passed out and didn’t actually die. Once your unconscious surely your body will take over while your brain is rebooting..right..?

> .....You’re way too accepting of this fucked up way of living.

> You grabbed the parcel off of the counter, adjusting the studded belt holding a pair of short black shorts up before exiting the store with a flip of the open sign to ‘closed’.
