Chuuya — Roleplayer Guild

The memorial ended without much issue. Awkwardness, however, still hung in the air. Caleb remained in the garden with the other children after everything was said and done. This was where Jake busied himself atop his noble steed by masquerading as a knight fighting an evil shaman played by his sister. The two were locked in imaginary combat that was occasionally interrupted by a silly one-liner or equally as ridiculous joke. The hippocampus was usually the one who had to pause for a laugh though Jake usually played along as well. The two were becoming fast friends from the looks of it. This much was noted by Caleb as he began to busy himself by cleaning up their lunch. 

"I can help you with that!" Kayden shook off the sorrowful morning mood in the same manner that the other children had. Neither she nor Caleb denied seeing Jake and Skyla cry to themselves though. Both scattered to opposite sides of the garden once outside to mourn their father on their own terms. There was quiet acceptance between Caleb, Kayden, and Edward to remain silent on that matter. Losing a parent had to be difficult and Mary was probably having an equally rough time without having to worry about her children too. "Daddy says that you're hurt and you should probably rest anyway. Besides, I bet Aunt Mary will give me a cookie for helping you!" 

"Oh, thank you." Caleb could barely blink as a stack of sandwich plates were pulled from his hands. He wasn't sure whether the girl was helping for a reward or simply because she wanted to. He was grateful either way though. His body still felt sluggish and heavy whereas he was still tired from being awoken during the night before. Most of his injuries, however, had thankfully been reduced to minor sores and aches. He would hopefully be feeling well enough to depart soon. The quicker that he had recovered was the quicker that they could head back to the ocean for Edward's sake. Not even that, but it was also the less time that he spent away from Eagletown and its mysterious plague. "Oh no. . The pearl!" 

This comment got the younger girl's attention and her head tilted slightly. "The pearl?"

"We never recovered our pearl from that thief!" Caleb wanted to smack himself for forgetting, but there would be no point in that. He acknowledged this much as the front door of the house swung open from the opposite side of the garden's gate. Marrathew, unbeknownst to Caleb, had returned in search of a mage that could cast the spell that would hopefully save Thorn City. "I can't return home without it. . That was a gift for the Elder Eagle!"

"The Elder Eagle? That sounds weird. . I've never heard of an 'elder eagle' or even an 'eagle elder' coming to Thorn City before." There was a giggle from the younger girl as she turned towards the back door. "Don't worry though! I'll just ask Daddy to get another one for you. He used to get pearls all the time from that man who smelled weird and always visited the house covered in red. I'm sure he could get you another one! Daddy says that he owes you anyway!" 

"But—" Caleb sought to deny the offer only to find himself pausing at Kayden's remark. A man who smelled weird and was usually covered in red? Surely she wasn't referring to one of John Nieve Junior's shady business "associates", was she? Kayden wasn't much younger than himself. She must have had a clue regarding her father's suspicious activity. Even so, Caleb wanted to reject her offer. He was already getting a customized silver short sword and surely that would be enough to pay the debt. It would have probably been easier to go along with the younger girl's words for now, however. ". . R-Right, thank you, Kayden. Let me help you take those inside."

When searching for threads, I just find 18+'s everywhere.  Sigh,  this is harder then I thought.@NesyExecutive

Hey there. 

Sorry to see that you're having a difficult time looking for Roleplays on here. I actually read this topic earlier and agree with what Ammokkx already touched on. That said, I had a conversation with a friend not too long ago about how Roleplaying has become somewhat discriminatory towards younger folks (those under age eighteen). I feel that there are a few reasons for this though it mostly comes down to the fact that Roleplay has been, as a whole, on a bit of a downswing lately. Most of the folks already invested in the hobby have been here for years, since they were younger, and are now over age eighteen themselves. I feel like the hobby has been getting less and less interest in recent years as a whole. It's honestly sad, but this is the observation that I've made based on the ages of current users along with who has been coming onto the site lately (based on introduction topics in any case). 

I had some issues with this myself when I was around your age. It was actually part of the reason that I lost my self-confidence with writing and stopped on forums for years. I was writing with college aged individuals by the time that I was fifteen myself. I was often barred out of Roleplays because of my age - most of the people around my age wrote differently than me and those that wrote similarly were usually uncomfortable writing with someone under the age of eighteen. As a twenty-two year old, I actually understand as to why this is myself. It's odd and uncomfortable especially when delving into some topics (even non-sexual ones such as gore, mental illness, drug use, etc). I don't think that age really has much to do with your case, however, as you seem to have been inactive for a few months. I would say wait a little longer with your interest check and see what happens.

If you want someone to write with though, I'd be open to hearing your ideas at least. You might have some better luck on alternative sites, however, if you feel the Guild has become too stifling in that regard. RPNation is PG-13 at all times while Iwaku has an entire community geared towards younger users. Whatever you decide, I hope that you're able to find a solution to your dilemma.
