Yeash, sorry, that IC post was horribly rushed and bothering me to no end, so I had to edit. And because sleep hates me. As always. So I'm still up. When I should have been out hours ago. ARGH! SANDMAN! WHERE ARE YOU?

Also, I updated the Wonderland Terms section. Thought I'd let you know. Let me know if it, too, needs further editing.

Trueee. ;) Random question, how who's your favorite fictional dragon? Choose wisely!
Oh, nice! Did a Google search. Now I want to watch it. Don't suppose Netflix has it.

Hah, thank you! He was about to quote The Princess Bride, if you've ever seen that. I feel like you have, though. I sense you watch a lot of fantasy type of films (which is awesome). I can't resist having him quote things even though Elayra and Drust would have no idea what he's referencing.

I feel like we're totally on the same page when it comes to that! I don't like it and try to avoid it, but the media is ridiculous. The one deal breaker for me is music, though. I won't listen to music with cursing since I tend to get songs stuck in my head.

You've done it again, your reply had me on the edge of my seat. Elayra's quick thinking may have saved them all, and scored them a temporary set of wheels. Also, there's no need to apologize: I didn't feel like it was rushed at all! Both versions were great!
Wow, that's even late for you! I take it insomnia's being relentless once again?

The Wonderland Terms section is coming along beautifully! Wow...there's already so much, and they haven't even gotten to Wonderland yet! I really love how you also include what page some of the terms/worlds were mentioned in. Everything's so organized, caters to my OCD. I laughed out loud when I saw that Ghent's accidental spell made it on the list. xD

Oh boy. I honestly haven’t thought about that. *Tries to think of all the books I’ve read with dragons.* Maybe Kazul from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles. But it has been a really long time since I’ve read anything based round them. They’re all on either my "To Read" or “Reread” list. How about you? Have a favorite fictional dragon?

Sadly, it’s not on there right now. Again, yay for libraries. xD If they don’t have a copy, maybe they could get one in for you.

With the “As you wish?” Yep! That was the first thing that came to mind when I read that. I’ve seen most of it. Admittedly, I didn’t see it until fairly recently. Heh, yep, that I do. More than I probably should! And that those two have no idea where the references are from makes it that much more amusing, I say!

I concur! ^.^ Including with the music.

Still loving your guys, and that even Miles lacks confidence in Ghent’s fighting abilities. xD Poor Ghent. Also, this line: “The only sound louder than Ghent's own heart pounding was the click of the pistol.” ❤ ❤ I mean, I like it all, but that stood out.



Glad you approve! If you want, I can add the first page mentioned to each one. I really only did that with the places so I can go back and check out my exact descriptions for them if need be. And hey, it did something, so of course it made the list! :-D Also, my OCD is why it’s organized!

Nice! I haven't heard of him, but I did some research (I depend on Wikipedia a little too much) and he sounds like a solid choice. As for myself, I think right now I'd have to say that Haku is my favorite. I just realized I said 'fictional dragon', as if there were real ones we could have chosen from.

Aw, thank you! Really, that's a huge honor, coming from you. ;~; I adore your characters and the plot you've created. I don't tell you that nearly enough, but I am honestly so fascinated by this RP and you write for your characters wonderfully. I think about this role play so often!
And, thank you again! It's crazy because I don't recall writing that bit...I think I was half asleep as I wrote it.
Also, loving how Elayra handled the situation. She is so intense!

Sorry about the insomnia! It bites, right? I'm up right now, and I think you were too since it said you were online within the last hour. 4am...gotta love it.

Only if you want to, it's perfectly fine as it is!

Not sure if you caught it, but I'd accidentally posted my reply without proofreading. Hopefully you didn't see it in that state. Had to fix some stuff.
And one last thing before I forget: can World Jumpers sense or feel when a portal shows up? (Forgive me if you'd answered that already!)

She, actually! The sad thing is that, though the topic came up because of movies, my head’s been focused on books, so I was not even thinking of movies/shows. My gosh, I couldn’t choose with that included! Toothless, Mushu, Draco (from Dragonheart), The Great Dragon from the BBC Merlin, Falcor, Haku as you mentioned… Yeah, no. Not gonna happen. I LOVE THEM ALL!
Hey, you never know! Some lizards have ‘dragon’ in their name, after all.

Keep telling me that, and you’re going to end up giving me a big ego. xD I’ve always felt like my characters end up being one of my weaknesses, so I’m glad you’re enjoying them, as well as the plot so far! Like I think I’ve said, if at any point in time it feels like it’s going slow or you have any concerns, ideas, or suggestions, speak up!

That’s how it goes, isn’t it? Write something when you’re half asleep, and it’s either going to be absolutely brilliant, or completely incoherent. Man, I said it last time, but poor Ghent! He has the insults coming from all sides! *Pats the character’s head.* It’s okay, Ghent. I have faith in you.

I love that our characters break a few of the gender stereotypes.

Indeed. D-:< And yep, I tried to get to sleep around five in the morning—my old usual—but that didn't happen. Then my cat woke me up just as I was falling asleep.

Alrighty. If you stumble on anything I forgot to add, let me know!

I didn’t, but it’s a great post! Made me laugh a couple times. Good emotion and actions with both of them, and you play "crazy" quite well. But maybe Drust, Miles, and Elayra are the sane ones, and Ghent’s the one who’s crazy? xD

Good question! If a Jumper was trying to find it, yeah, they’d be capable of sensing one nearby, but otherwise, they’d have to be practically on top of it to know it’s there if they weren’t actively searching for one. When the portals (and Jumpers) are at full strength, it would feel almost like a physical pull, but at the moment, the magic to the portals themselves is weak so there would be no guiding tug, only maybe a faint hunch that it must be somewhere fairly close by, and would take a lot of effort to track it down. Mix that with diluted senses from too much alcohol, and you’d have why Miles would likely need our guys to find one. Most portals were normally fixed in place, so someone experienced enough with the world in question could know where a fair amount of them were, but because they sealed themselves off, they would have switched locations as an extra protective measure when they reopened. Which means, once the magic wears thin and they close again, Earth’s will switch up a second time.

Sound good? Anything you want to tweak?

Well, that's embarrassing. I have no idea why I wrote 'he' and 'him.' I have such a bad habit of referring to every animal/creature as 'he'. When I was a kid, I used to have a female cat named George...so I kept referring to the poor dear as 'he'...*facepalm* Couldn't they have named her Georgette?
But, to correct myself, she sounds like a solid choice!
So many great choices! Oh man, Mushu is hilarious. I'd have to place him as one of my top favorites, too.

Definitely not a weakness of yours. I know it might seem that I've paid you a lot of compliments, but I'm not the type of person to throw those around. I mean every word! I'll speak up if that should happen, but I don't see how it's possible. There's never really a dull moment when you've got interesting characters, and those we definitely have.

Ha! Well, he sorta had that coming. He's been a bit of a pain. *laughs*
Hear that, Ghent? She's got faith in you...time to up your game! :D

Ugh. That's the worst. I get woken up pretty much every day because the dogs go wild when the post lady comes to the door.
I noticed your status, and you have my sympathy. Wouldn't it be cool to have a regular sleep schedule? It's a nice thought, but I gave up on that a long time ago.

Thanks so much! I'm glad it worked out. Now that's an interesting thought. I'm starting to wonder who's the sane one here.

Sounds brilliant and helps me plan for him, thank you! Just wanted to make sure so I play his part right. Looks like they're gonna get some help after all!

No worries. Probably because Wiki told you she is the king of dragons. Same here, sorta; everything’s a “he” with me until proven otherwise. Ha! That’s special about your old cat. And isn’t he? xD

Well, thank you very much. I appreciate the compliments. It’s always wonderful to know that someone else is enjoying your writing as much as you enjoy writing it! That’s really what it’s all about. Writing firstly for yourself, and then to spread the enjoyment it gives you. For me, anyway!

Aww, man! Dogs and the mailmen/women: a battle as old as time. Darn pets. I love them, but I also occasionally despise them. And heh, thanks. Hey, my “regular” is just different from most people’s! It just got thrown out of whack somehow, and is all over the place at the moment. I’m getting closer to getting back to my normal, though… I think. *Knocks on wood.* As long as my cat stops finding new ways to wake me up.

Muhahaha. Making you question Ghent’s sanity. All in a day’s work.

Yep! And yay! Question for you: do you want Miles to go with them, or end up getting stuck on Earth again? It’ll work into everything either way (could help them in Wonderland, or, depending on how he would react to getting cut off again, maybe be an obstacle before potentially a good connection on Earth when Ghent and Elayra return, depending on what you want for him), so just let me know!

Hope you've been able to catch some Z's. Cat still being pesky? I think my beagle's taking notes, because for the past four days he's decided to wake me up by incessantly whining at the door. *facepalms* He refuses to sleep in a dog bed...so not only does he hog half my bed, now he's waking up at ridiculously early hours. (9am's early when you tend to turn in at 4am!)

Oh boy. I've been thinking about that a lot. I'm leaning towards having him stay on Earth for now. I like the idea of him being an obstacle later on, and this'll really rile him. So close to the portal and yet so far! That sound good by you?
This week's been absolutely insane, but I'll see if I can get my post in tomorrow.

A bit more, I suppose! I've been making sure to kick my cat out well before my normal bedtime, so he has not been as often of a nuisance. Sorry to hear your beagle's doing that! He loves you! xD I hope YOU manage to get some sleep here soon!

Sounds perfect to me! :-) If you change your mind between now and then, just let me know.

No worries. I'd imagine it's been insane with Father's Day. Take all the time you need, my friend!

Good plan! I may do that tonight, actually. He hasn't given me a break yet. Every day at 8:30 he wakes up and decides I should be up too. Not gonna happen.

Will do! Eh, it was mostly just a double dose of ridiculous family drama that kept me so busy this week. Not immediate family, but the relatives. I often wonder how I am related to these people...*laughs* Really relieved it's all over with. I wasn't directly involved or anything, but...y'know how it goes. I always end up involved one way or another. x'D

Ha! It's always somewhere between nine and eleven with my cat. Which for someone who usually crashes between six and seven in the morning... Hope kicking your furry friend out of your room works!

Ugh. Yep, I know somewhat how that can go. Even if you're not directly involved, it can still somehow affect your household, which dominoes into you, one way or the other. Sorry you had to deal with stuff, but I'm glad for you that it's over and done with! Speaking of family, I have one of them in town (it's been quite awesome) the past week, so have been busy, and didn't get the warning out of my potential disappearance (surprise, surprise). Should be capable of getting to work on replies here sometime after Sunday.

9 and 11...hmm...that's a bit more reasonable, but not by much. I was proud of myself for waking up at 11 today, closed my eyes...when I opened them again, it was 2 in the afternoon...x'D Why do I even try?

Right? It's so awful. I don't understand how full grown adults get into fights like children. Common courtesy, kindness, and tact would benefit these people tremendously. Think before you speak! Guess that applies to you too, Ghent. Heheh.

Hey, that's cool! Have a great time! As always, there is no rush, so take your time replying. I know how it feels after someone leaves, sometimes you need a few days to recharge and get back on schedule.

Story of my life, there. xD That happens so often. I'll wake up early, think I could sleep a few minutes more, then it's suddenly hours later. But hey, plenty of people don't get up until around two or so! Graveyard shift worthy people unite!

My gosh, that sounds EXACTLY like a couple of my aunts (and others, honestly, but they're the first family I thought of). They seem to love pulling other people into their fights with them for someone else to blame for their troubles. Yay for insane extended family. I swear, it's like they're ten or something.

Many thanks! Writing is often a sort of way of recharging for me, but we'll see how things go, or what comes up between now and then. Because life likes throwing running chainsaws more than lemons sometimes.

Right? I just want to feel refreshed and energized for once.


Seriously. I've said that myself, many times, although for my relatives I believe ten years old is too generous...

I've had a few too many chainsaws this week. Here's hoping for some lemons!
Kind of craving lemonade now...do we have to ban talking about food? xD Milkshakes, coffee cake...lemonade...the cravings never stop!

Flippin' yes! And HA! YES. My gosh, I haven't watched Hey Arnold in ages!

I did say 'or something.' xD

Ugh, sorry you've had a lot of chainsaws! I've just been hit with a heavy dose of not wanting to communicate with people. Hope you get those lemons! Because lemonade is a good summer drink.

Ha! Seriously! You gotta love those cravings brought on by reading and writing.

Man, I love your GIFs!

My turn, though it isn't a GIF. Found this while searching for new wallpapers (I change my computer wallpapers more often than my avi on here), and thought of you. For a fair warning, it's large.

Hey Arnold is hilarious! Ironically enough, I'm wearing a shirt of it right now...did I mention I'm really into fashion?

True. xD And thanks! Today's been good, and I'll add that I did get my lemonade after all. How can I complain?
As far as the communication goes, take all the alone time you need. As you know, I totally get it. I made my cousin wait...*squints* two...weeks...before I responded to a Facebook comment. Why am I like this?

Glad you like the gifs because I am in love with this wallpaper! Wow...that's really beautifully done, and such a fun concept of their costumes. So much yes! The resolution is perfectly crisp...the colors are great too. *stares in contentment*
I just set it as my laptop wallpaper. I'm touched that you thought of me, thank you so much! *hug*

Edit: I meant to bring this up around five posts ago, but can I just have a fangirl moment over your write up for the Whispering Woods? Little Elayra, little Ghent...picnics, camping...it's too precious for words! ❤
Apologies, but it pulled on my heartstrings. xD Especially since it's so tragic as to what happened later on with their parents and Wonderland.

Wasn’t Arnold on Netflix once? Maybe I’ll look and see if it’s still there somewhere. Hey, that’s awesome you have a shirt of it!

Woo! So glad to hear that you had a good day. It was the lemonade, right?

Yep, yep! I would say we’re two peas in a pod when it comes to that, but we’re probably a bit too introverted for that. Maybe with pods right next to each other. With zippers to shut out the world every now and again.

I thought pretty much the same thing. Didn’t try it out as a wallpaper, but I HATE low resolution wallpapers. They drive me insane. And of course! *Hugs back.*

“I meant to bring this up around five posts ago.” Story of my life. Aww, I’m glad you like that! No apologies necessary. I like seeing you enjoy it. That’s really what it’s all about, in my opinion! And I know! The life that was and could have been for them, versus what is.

Yeah, it was! Wish they hadn't taken it off. Last I checked, it wasn't there...but I think they had the movie.
If you're in the market for something to watch on Netflix, I'd recommend the new Voltron.
The art style is really similar to Avatar ...



... and it's a lot of fun to watch.
Speaking of Netflix, I recognize the character in your avatar. I have that saved in my "to watch" list. Trollhunters, right?

Hah! That made me laugh. A zipper to shut out the world...that sounds perfectly ideal to me.



Low res wallpapers drive me insane, too. Sometimes I have to settle if the image is really cool. I can't believe it's 2017 and low resolution wallpapers are still a problem.

You're welcome! Up until I read that, I hadn't given too much thought as to how their lives must have been before the fall of Wonderland, but now I can't stop thinking about it. So much would've been different, yet here they are reunited again. :D
Also, I'm very excited. Wonderland's just around the corner!

Aww, darn. Oh well. I’ll try to find it somewhere else, then, if the mood to do so strikes.

Voltron! That’s such a great show. I ended up binge watching that with one of my best friends when she came to visit. You know, I didn’t even think about that! HA! That’s funny it has those similarities. I’ll have to give it a re-watch and keep a closer eye out.

Yep! Jim. I quite like Trollhunters. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you're a DreamWorks fan!

Doesn’t it, though? The world needs to come with a zipper built in or something, so when you’re overwhelmed, you can just be like, “Yep, it's time to check out.” You know, I think they make jackets with zippered hoods, thinking of.



Seriously! Sometimes, if I like it enough, I’ll try to find a larger version of it. If I can’t find any, the smaller one usually gets used for something else besides wallpaper.

And Elayra knows to some extent what it was “supposed” to be like. Same! I can’t wait until they meet their first iconic character. At least, my version of the character! Muhahaha.

This is one of the many reasons we're friends. Who is your favorite character? I've been having trouble deciding. I'm leaning towards Shiro, but I like Lance too. They're all great in their own way. Season 3 is just around the corner!

Sweet! I'll watch a couple episodes tonight. I've gotta unwind. My stress levels are off the charts.
Oh, and I think I'll buy a dozen of those jackets with zipper hoods. I saw a Spiderman themed one a few weeks ago, which would be rather perfect for me.



Ahh, I can hardly wait! I don't believe you'd mentioned who it'll be, but if you did...I've forgotten. My memory has been so bad lately.
