Raven: Fast enough to kill? I do not know anything that goes that fast.
Carter: *takes gun gently, turning it over* *looks down the barrel* *fingers the trigger curiously, wondering what it does*
Me: Don't!
Carter: *shrugs and takes his finger off* Factories? Why would you call a man a factory? What does that mean? *hands gun back*

Amos: I kept a stray cat hidden in my room for a while. She had that sort of marbled black and gray pattern...

Me: Haha @Lillylight It's dragon peer pressure!

Alianna: I'm not certain about the technical stuff of guns, but they are fun to use. *jumps* Mister Carter, I wouldn't aim it at your face. *takes gun back gingerly* *puts finger on barrel* This is where the bullet comes out of. Therefore, it isn't a very good idea to point the barrel at yourself.

Me: *thinks* Is it normal for a nine year old to have extensive knowledge of guns?...no....

Alianna: No one man is a factory, Mister Carter. It's a building where they make guns.

Carter: So that's why Authoress was yelling at me. She never tells me these things.
Me:
Carter: Oh, so it's the building where the blacksmiths make the guns?

Alianna: *giggles* No, Mister Carter. It's the building where the machines make the guns. The only men that help are the factory workers and they work on factory lines.

Me: Actually, they aren't called factory lines...but...their real names escape me currently.

Fallen: Is there a particular food you enjoy at a picnic?

Me: Are they seriously going to...

Ark: Looks like.

Rodash: *intrigued by the gun* It looks familiar...as if I have seen one long ago...

Me: That must be residue left over by the re-write... *memory wipe*

Rodash: Wha-wha...what is that thing? *looking at the gun*

Me:

Alianna: (@Rodash) Umm...yeah... It's a gun.

Carter: (@Raven) She thinks I'm funny.
Raven: I think you're funny too.
Carter: Except when the joke's on you, right?
Raven: *sigh*
Carter: (@Alianna) See? She just proved my point. *winks* Machine? I do not know what that is either.

Alianna: *giggles* Yes, she did prove your point. A machine is a...hmm...it's... It's a device that can be used to make things.

Chayn: Stupid? If I were stupid, sir, I would not have had the wisdom of upchucking you, and would have, instead, swallowed you, causing illness to myself, and the poisons in my body would eat you away. That, sir, is stupidity. So, in a way, I just saved your life.

Me: I don't understand my own characters, sometimes.

Tounon: That dragon has major mood swings.

Seymour: Are you sure?

Aelynn: That sounds like a pretty cat. What was its name?

Me: [To Riniel] Haha.

Tynx: Oh, I enjoy anything. I'll pretty much eat anything, too. My friends on earth will tell you.

Me:

Tounon: Those two have the oddest relationship.

Tesmir: I think they're the ones with the mood swings. [Turns to Rodash] You up for a duel?

Terminus: *scowls* Stupidity has many forms, dragon.

Me: Well...never thought I'd hear that one.

Raven: *chuckles and shakes her head in amusement*
Carter: (@Alianna) Like a hammer? Or a needle?
Me: I looked, and the word machine didn't exist until the 16th century, so he actually wouldn't have known what one was.

Alianna: Mm...sort of. Except it's typically a self-operated device that runs on electric current-

Me: *thwacks Allie* Sound like a nine year old!

Alianna: *sniffles* *sighs* It's a thingy that works by itself.

Me: Better.

Fallen: *turns to me* Picnic. Now.

Me: Can't you get it yourself?

Fallen: Do you see food here? At the moment, sentient beings seem to be the only food source here at the moment. If you really want--

Me: Food for a picnic coming right up.

Fallen: *smirks*

Me: *makes a picnic basket and blanket appear next to Fallen*

Chayn: Oh? [Looks Terminus up and down very closely] You wouldn't happen to be one of them, would you?

Hailey: [Joins Raven, Carter, and Alianna]

Tesmir: Am I boring you?

Hailey: Exceedingly.

Tesmir: You have to live with me in the story.

Hailey: Live with you? Sir, I travel with you, I do not live with you.

Tesmir: Whatever.

Tynx: [Eyes widen and tail starts to wag] Oh, wow! Sweet! [Bounds over to the picnic]

Tounon: First they're trying to kill each other, now they're having a meal with each other.

Terminus: *glares at Chayn* You should have just stayed dead.

Me: Sorry, Termy, but that was a funny comeback! I burst out laughing at that one! Give the dragon some credit.

Terminus: She deserves nothing from me.

Me: Fine, fine, no need to be so rude...

Alianna: Hello, Hailey!

Fallen: *opens the picnic basket* Let's see what we have...*pulls out a stack of sandwiches*

Me: (@Trynx and Fallen) Y'all sure you aren't putting special surprises in each other's food or something? O.o

Alianna: *giggles*

Me: Anyways, I'm bring in new characters and taking out a few of my own...Terminus' development and character growth is pretty much mapped out so he is leaving along with...hmm... *thinks* I suppose Avneet...aww, but I like Avneet. No, Taranis is leaving. *makes Termy and Taranis vanish*

Terminus: But I'm talking to Chayn!

Me: Oh...after you're done talking then you shall vanish.

Terminus: Very well.

Me: Okay...so, new charries. *sprinkles pixie dust* *two characters appear; a teenager girl with bright red hair and big, green eyes and a teenage boy with short, brown hair and dark blue eyes* These characters are from a yet to be named novel that - for the sake of this thread - I shall put under the working title of *thinks* Hidden Beings (Lame. I know. ) Anyways...introduce yourself, people! And...for the record; the girl (Zaelinia) has something very unique about her...

Levi: *looks around* This...seems...interesting.

Zaelinia: *eyes grow wide* *cowers closer to Levi*

Amos: Her name was Cardinal. I was six when I named her though.

Brand: *observes the picnic*

Skootter: *bounds over to the picnic and cocks his head inquisitively*

Carter: By itself? Is it magic?
Raven: There's no such thing as magic.

Carter: Greetings, Lady Hailey.

Raven: *smiles and waves happily at Levi and Zaelinia*

Alianna: Magic? Like...The Chronicles of Narnia or something? *giggles* No. Magic is just play.

Me: I wouldn't play with magic in your world...

Alianna: Well, duh, I don't play with it.

Levi: *waves back at Raven* Hello.

Zaelinia: *waves*

Rodash: No, really, I'm quite fi...

Me: *shoves Rodash forward* Yes. He accepts.

Rodash:

Victor: Another Levi, this could get confusing.

Levi: At least he is not a reptile. It won't be that bad.

Carter: Chr...
Raven: Carter! You are interrupting, you know. You can't understand everything.
Carter: *bows teasingly* Pardon me, me lady. Carry on.
Raven: *chuckles* Shall we continue, Alianna, or have you had enough for now?

Raven: (@Levi) Greetings.

Alianna: *giggles* Yes, Miss Raven! I'd like to learn more! It is very fun!

Chayn: [Sniffs] Maybe I should have eaten your tongue instead the whole of you.

Hailey: Hi! What're you all doing?

Tynx: [Watches eagerly, tail wagging rapidly.]

Seymour: [Nods and smiles at Levi and Zaelinia] Hello.

Aelynn: That's a pretty name, Carindal. Did she ever have kittens?

Tynx: Can Skooter and Brand join the picnic?

Tesmir: [Smiles] I'm not terribly tough. No fear.

Me: Ooh, Elanhil, you is yellow! That's cool!

Me:@Lillylight It was Cardinal but I'm now stealing your typo for another name

Amos: No, I kept her inside as much as I could... She had a habit of running away.

Skootter: Yes, yes, can we join??

Raven: OK, then. Can you show me one, two, three, and four all in a row?

Carter: (@Hailey) *whispers* Raven is teaching Alianna swordplay. Apparently I'm not supposed to interrupt.

Me: Carindal would be a cool name.

Levi: Hello, Seymour. *bows slightly*

Zaelinia: *smiles at Seymour*

Alianna: (@Raven) *thinks* Mm...hmm...I...think so. *does all of them in a row*

Me: I forgot two of them so...yeah.

Brian: Forgetful...

Me: I know that, no need to repeat it, thank you very much.

Brian:

Fallen: *sighs loudly* I don't know if there's enough foo--

Me: Yes, there is. *makes another picnic basket appear* Have fun, guys.

Fallen: *pulls out a huge thermos of lemonade*

Me: Whoops. I'm glad the typo gave you a name. I've done that one. Made a typo, now I use the typo of a name instead of how I originally spelled it.

Aelynn: Aww. Was she playful and friendly?

Tynx: Cool! [Peeks into a basket]

Hailey: [Laughs a little] Maybe if you have advice to give, you wouldn't get your head snapped at for interrupting.

Me: The tone was a playful one. I know it doesn't read that way.

Tesmir: Hailey could learn the few things. We'll be stuck at Seymour's place for a while. [Draws sword]

Seymour: Stuck? My boy, you both were sent to me upon invitation, to be protected. No one gets stuck in my city.

Me: Children. Don't make me turn this car around.

Tynx: [Explodes into laughter]

Tounon: Tynx certainly enjoyed that one.

Fallen: *looks into the other basket* Just how much food did you put in here?

Me: Um...let's just say it's a never-ending basket. That way I don't have to refill it if I misjudged how much you can eat.

Fallen: Lazy. *pulls out a container of fried chicken and hands it to Tynx*

Carter: (@Hailey) Ah, but the ironic thing is, Lady Hailey, I taught her to fight in the first place. *chuckles*

Raven: (@Alianna) Good! Now five is a mirror to one. So you bring your sword down from the top left of your body to the bottom right. Your arm should be reaching across your body to begin the strike.

Me: (@Rae) Down diagonally from top right to bottom left, up diagonally from bottom left to top right, horizontally from right to left, horizontally from left to right.

Alianna: All right. *lifts sword to top right then brings it down to the bottom left* Like that?

Me: Ah, right. *saves list of moves*

Raven: That was the right move, but the wrong side. *smiles* You did one. Five is from the top left to the bottom right.

Me: Oh, right, *palmface* My bad, I read that wrong; my mind flipped it.

Alianna: *takes sword and raises it to the left then brings it down to the bottom right*

Raven: There you go! And six is the reverse of five. Bottom right to top left.

Alianna: Okay. *brings sword from the bottom right to the top left*

Skootter: *dives into the basket and hops out the other side with a pickle*

Brand: *lands on top of the first basket and stares at Fallen* Am I to understand that you are a villain?

Amos: Yeah, she was pretty chill with me. She hid when others were around but that made it easier to keep her a secret.

Tynx: [Carefully manages to take the container and begins to try to open it] It smells so good.

Hailey: [Laughs] I see. You can just call me Hailey. I don't come from any noble line.

Aelynn: Why did you have to hide her?

Seymour: Aelynn, don't probe too personal.

Aelynn: Yes sir.

Raven: (@Alianna) Good! Now do all six in a row. (@Hailey) Oh, he calls everyone lady. *chuckles*

Carter: Very well, my lady. *eyes twinkle with fun* And what sort of land do you come from, if I may ask?

Alianna: *slowly moves sword from top right to bottom left. Diagonally moves it up from bottom left to top right. Then moves sword from left to right. And moves sword from left and brings it to the bottom then does vice versa* Like that?

Hailey: [Blushes] I live in Allare, on the country of Piensor. It's a rather hilly country, more so than the other two, anyway. I live in a small village in the countryside. But in the story Aris thought up, I'll be living in Seymour's city for a while.

Tounon: So, what's happened to Mordir?

Me: He died.

All my characters: [Stares]

Me: What? You all would too if you'd been stabbed in the heart.

Seymour: You didn't say anything about it earlier?

Me: Why? Did you want something dramatic?

Cassie: Yes! Do something dramatic to Zurik!

Zurik: [Sitting up by the rock] Zurik has had enough drama thrown at him for one day, runt.

Me: You still haven't learned to keep you mouth shut, have you?

Zurik: Is that a problem?

Me: For you it is.

Raven: (@Alianna) Exactly! Now for seven, bring your blade straight down on top of the imaginary person's head.

Carter: (@Hailey) Allare....that is your world? *shakes head* It is funny. I never knew before that other worlds existed.

*has yet again fallen behind*

Aris, if you wouldn't mind repeating anything you or anything any of your characters might have said about the upcoming duel?

Fallen: *looks at Brand* I am. Do you have a problem with that? *reaches over and opens the container of fried chicken for Tynx*

Alianna: *lifts sword up and brings it down* This is fun!

Raven: Good! And eight is a thrust into the stomach. *smiles* It may be fun, but remember that killing people is no joke. *eyes sadden* *softly* You never forget....

Alianna: *smile fades* *grins* *hugs Raven* Thank you for teaching me, Miss Raven!

Me: Okay, why does Allie act like me?
