Busy, busy day. Sad that the only writing I could do today was writing this guild status. ~.~

Each night close to bedtime I tell myself, "fuck work!" only to be fucked by work the next day.

Today is the happier yet sadder day of the month. Because today is the day salary comes in and immediately flies out of the bank account like it didn't even happen :(

"Well, be good now and say hi, I can see you there, stranger," a feminine voice spoke out of nowhere, its owner hidden from plain sight. One could say it sounded like a challenge, to lure visitors into obeying her command and dropping a PM or a VM on her profile, but if one were to listen carefully, it was more of an awkward attempt to befriend the newcomer who had consciously or unconsciously stumbled upon her domain.
"Not listening, are you? Oh fine, I'll come greet you instead." Some indiscernible noises and an oops dammit later, a petite figure emerged from behind the shadows of the guild looking at her visitor curiously yet somewhat wary of whoever who was now present at her doorstep, her steps slow but purposeful. She was not one to engage in chats, not for the lack of friendliness, but she was often afraid of saying the wrong things, awkward things, which may scare visitors away.
It can't be helped; she was more of an introvert after all, and years of being cooped in her small home did nothing to improve her communication skills with others. It only made her fail to express her true desires and intentions with the right words, often causing confusion to everyone who made contact with her. She decided that withdrawing into her own world might be best - that way she wouldn't inconvenience others nor would she ever send the wrong kind of message.
Though every now and then, she found herself wishing she could at least break free from her introvert shell. She did try of course, on days when she had a bit more courage and a bit more confidence, then she screwed up again and ran back to her hidey-hole to weep in disappointment. Today was one of such days; she felt braver than usual, plus she couldn't seem to ignore the presence of this stranger lurking around her profile.
Putting on her best smile, she said, "Hello, I'm Jonisca. Who are you?"

Hi there, Profile Visitor! I know I don't have much to offer at the moment, because I don't even know what I can offer haha. The above story/post/idunnowhattocallit? can be a reference to those who want a glimpse of my writing capability (or incapability for that matter .__.). I love reading stories with interesting plots and romance, preferably in medieval or some otherworldly fantasy settings but in terms of writing in this kind of genre...I have yet to discover if I have such flair. Gotta roleplay to know eh?
I cannot vouch for whether I can write up to anyone's expectations; if I am good, yay! If I am bad...*sadface* Jokes aside, feel free to throw constructive criticisms at me. I promise I will accept them most graciously...*looks with sad puppy eyes*
Areas I may be interested in: - Generally romance, (feel free to PM me your idea to check if I'll be interested, since romance is pretty wide lol. Just fyi, I hardly write smut though as I lean more to light + slow burn romance) - Medieval fantasy - Adventure - Tempted to do high fantasy but posts will probably be slow due to overthinking - Time travel - Paranormal fiction, preferably something unique other than vampires and werewolves - Romance xianxia aka Chinese cultivation fantasy involving immortals and Chinese mythology
Not inclined to do: - Sci-fi - Fandoms, due to my limited knowledge in movies, anime, drama series - Historical fiction, mainly because it would take too long to research - Military - School settings, unless the plot is good - Modern, unless it's mixed with heavy otherworldly setting
Looking forward to interacting with most of you, and I hope to rp with you guys! Most of all, have fun, and have a good day! :D
Fun Fact 1: I reply quick. as soon as I can. Fun Fact 2: I can lose interest easily in a RP with uninspiring plots and posts. Fun Fact 3: I love me some romance C-dramas. *activates hopeless romantic mode*
@Aisling Is this the map of the Academy or the Bus? To be honest, I'm currently confused about the cafe and the bus in relation to the Academy. I was expecting some kind of explanation from Aisling in the IC to clear the confusion on:
- whether the bus is actually the one we should board, or the bus is something we should avoid; - the cafe is part of the Academy's venture/property? - is the Academy still on Earth/ some other world settings? - are Gus and Bess the owners of the Academy?
Sorry for the many questions, but I need to understand to ensure the story flows and makes sense at least haha, otherwise my posts will come off weird.
Kinda spoilt for choice with such a long list of pairings, but I may be interested in:
- God/Goddess - Dark Elf King/Human Princess - Nun/Demon - Chinese Warrior/Lord's Concubine (Three Kingdoms Era) - Not extremely familiar with the Three Kingdoms era, but I could learn and research on the go thanks to my love for C-dramas lol - Royal Snob/Peasant Girl - Goblin King/Fairy Princess - Goblin King/Human Princess
Ying raised her brow and only nodded when Aisling told her about dividing school supplies. Not that she knew what kind of supplies were necessary for the Academy she were to attend soon, but she would gladly listen to Aisling and do what Aisling does.
What peeked her interest more than the owl designed bags and school supplies would be Aisling's new companion - another owl similar to Birdie. Ying remembered there wasn't any other owl around them earlier save for Birdie, so that was new.
Ying was about to point at the new owl and give Aisling a questioning look, when Birdie hooted and spoke for the first time.
"Yes girl, our new bird friend Archemedes is Aisling's pet owl."
That startled Ying quite a bit, and she stared at Birdie for a few seconds, who returned to preening his wing on the cafe table where Aisling placed bags and supplies. Did her wooden owl just...talked?
"You can talk...?" Ying asked Birdie in her mother tongue. Birdie hooted again, before replying, "Why yes, we are made that way for the humans whom we were to be bound to. I can understand and speak your language too. Archemedes here can understand you as well. The Academy's owls are made to assist their human owners, a duty bestowed by the Academy upon the Owls."
Ying crossed her arms. "Why didn't you speak earlier when we first met? You could have saved me a lot of trouble trying to navigate around."
Birdie hooted, its head tilted. "Girl, you were like a scaredy cat, about to pass out anytime. You even nearly wanted to kill me with your dagger as I approached you, so I figured I better stay silent until you are ready to find out I can talk. Don't wanna get disfigured or dead for nothing."
"Hmm, makes sense. Sorry," Ying said apologetically. Birdie flew and perched on her shoulder. "No worries, all is good between you and I. Now, you better hurry along with your belongings and grab some food. Archemedes mentioned to Aisling earlier about the bus leaving in a few days' time..."
"What is a bus? And why is it leaving in a few day's time...what has that got to do with us? I don't understand."
"A bus is a big long vehicle that carries people from one place to another on the road, similar to horse carriages." Then Birdie turned to look at Archemedes and Aisling, and hooted at them for a while, before looking at Ying. "As for the rest of your questions, I think it's best for Archemedes or Aisling to explain what is going on."
Ying couldn't believe her luck. To think that she unknowingly bumped into someone who knew what the scroll was about and was ready to offer her a means of traveling to the Academy mentioned in the scroll as a place of discovering and training Magick. For what exact purpose to be granted the opportunity to attend lessons and train at the Academy, neither her elder sister Yun nor her Papa and Mama were sure when they first read the letter.
They were all puzzled by the scroll's appearance bird-delivered to Yun by an owl, but they all decided going to the Academy was Yun's best bet to live a more carefree life away from the neverending clan wars. If one of their daughters had such blessings, Papa and Mama would wholeheartedly support the idea even though it pained them knowing their beloved child will be living far, far away from them.
Sadly, Ying was all that was left of their family to carry out the will of her parents, and her sister's dream of escaping to a whole new world. Ying had never coveted her sister's Academy enrolment, but now with them all gone, she felt like it was her sole responsibility to see the new Academy life from start to end. For Papa, Mama and Sissy's sakes.
Ying only nodded as she listened to the words that came from the lady Aisling's device. She understood most of it - the fact that Aisling received the same offer as well to study at the Academy, that traveling to the Academy may take days on foot, so it'd be best for her to tag along with Aisling since they will be school sisters soon - but she didn't know what to reply. Her hand also moved without thinking as she graciously accepted a snack from Aisling. Normally, she wouldn't trust taking any food from strangers but Aisling had been nice to her from the start.
Whoa...the snack tastes sweet and delicious, Ying thought, happily munching. If only Sissy could eat this too...
Ying looked on curiously as her new acquaintance seemed determined to play the role of a good hostess towards her. Weird looking clothes for her, shoes, towel, small bottles of...fragrances?, a straight tool with soft bristles on one end, a few tubes. The lady did mentioned about her disheveled appearance with the help of her gadget, and Ying understood Aisling was just trying to make her fit in. After all, with dirt on her face and some streaks of blood on her clothes from all the hunting and running, Ying was sticking out like a sore thumb in this new world.
Many signs and gestures later in her attempt to communicate with Aisling, Ying managed to wipe her body a little and change into one of the available sets of clothing in the cafe's toilet - a light blue top and a pair of tight-fitting jeans. She ran a finger along her long black hair. The ribbon accessories were still intact, but she would have to wait until she could find a proper place to wash her hair and retie the ribbons. She didn't have the heart to throw all her clothes despite the dirt, stains and stench...after all, they were the only remnants left from her world. That and her trusty dagger. Perhaps there's a stream nearby or a way she could wash and mend her clothes? She would ask Aisling later.
Her dagger...it looked odd in the hand-sewn scabbard belt that she tied around her waist with her current modern clothing. Like it or not, the dagger meant life to her, so...ahh, whatever. She couldn't be bothered with a lot of things anymore.
Now, food. Aisling told her earlier that she was hungry too, which was good news. They can eat something together, and they can travel to the Academy together after. And Ying wouldn't ask for anything more but silently prayed that the Goddess grant her enough strength to survive the uncertain days ahead.
