Not-doing-too-good sentence starters

     She had a test, and that was the only reason that Wynn had come in today. She could last until then, the girl told herself; she’d write it and go straight home, sleep off the fever that was making her cheeks flush and her head throb. At least, that had been the plan.

     Unfortunately, her body had different ideas.

     One moment, she’d been walking up the steps, and the next - well, the next, she certainly wasn’t on her feet any longer. Suddenly, Wynn was on her back, surrounded by voices that were murmuring urgently. Her body tensed as someone grasped her shoulder, and the girl drew away instinctively, her breath hitching at the contact. The world was a delirious swirl around her, a terrifying blur that left her feeling nauseous-

     “Move.” A familiar snarl rattled in her ear, and the hand at her shoulder pulled away. Despite the hostility in his voice, the sound was a source of comfort, one that helped to still her fears. Had the voice belonged to anyone else, that single word would not have held the power of reassurance over her, and that tone would not have helped silence the terror that buzzed in her head.

     Because Dorian was safety.

     “Vynn... ?” He spoke softly now, and when he lifted her, Wynn relaxed. She felt awful, but there was no reason to be afraid, not anymore.

     “I’m taking you home. How are you feeling?”

     “Got... a test...” The words came out as a nearly incoherent mumble, and as soon as she spoke, Wynn sensed a frown on Dorian’s face.

     “Your professor can make an exception. You’re not vell.”

     She didn’t argue (not that she had the energy to), and the girl’s eyes fell shut as her head came to rest against his chest. Her breathing calmed as his heart thudded against her ear, his next words helping to quiet what remained of the worry in her head.

     “You’re going to be alright.”

😤 :Worst role-play related encounter and what advice you would give to others to avoid similar situations?

     One of my worst role-play related encounter really wasn’t something that I think most people will end up running into themselves – when I first took over as an admin of my group on Gaia, one of the members didn’t agree that I was a good choice. They’d been there longer, their character was ‘stronger’ than mine; there were a lot of reasons that he cited, but it didn’t change anyone’s minds. He couldn’t write as well, and he didn’t get along with anyone because he was constantly trying to kill off their characters – no one was going to listen to him, even if they could decipher what it was that he was trying to tell them.      He created a number of threads on the forum trying to ‘take over’, despite the fact that it… really wasn’t going to do anything. (The members couldn’t vote me out of the position of Captain even if they’d wanted to. They could have all left to join a different group, but that’s beside the point, and it didn’t happen). Anyhow – he made a bunch of threads that were basically his platform for why he should take over, focusing on how much I sucked. It was basically an attack on my character, my writing, my intelligence… It wasn’t great.      At the same time, he ran around the guild, trying to start his own plots and undermining any event I tried to run. He made up villains and had them ‘burn down’ parts of the setting for arbitrary reasons, created and deleted characters, and constantly posted to new members; telling them things that flat out weren’t true. He mislead them about the status of their characters, encouraged them to argue with me and the other admins when we were trying to enforce rules, and lead them to believe that he was the one in charge.

     God, I hated him. 

     Anyhow, when I came back from vacation, the current leader of the group also returned because of the influx of posts and a few messages from confused new members. He officially promoted me to the captain’s position, and kicked him out of the group. So, it ended well, but before that he was basically the bane of my fucking existence. U gh. Like I said, I don’t think anyone will end up running into a similar situation, so I really don’t know what advice I could possibly give to people. Avoid little boys who think they’re alpha males? When joining a group keep a wary eye on the horizon for older members who have a superiority complex? Idk man.

ツ :An OC you created that you are proud of?

     Well, aside from the obvious (Natalie, lmao) I have a lot of OC’s I’m pretty proud of. Some… less so, because they were created when I was small & stupid, but. Most recently I put together a character named Cole, at @nxughtylist​. He’s next in line to be Santa Claus, but wants nothing to do with the entire profession. He’s run away to Florida and uses his inherited abilities to find ‘bad guys’ and dispose of them. c:

♀ :A trope you catch yourself falling back too often?

     I am the last person to ask about tropes, idfk man. Maybe Men Don’t Cry?      no I didn’t just use the first one that popped up on the tv tropes website who said that

▲ :What sort of information do you like to see on someone’s role play page that helps you determine whether or not you would want to write with them?
