She shook her head. It was sweet of him to say but she didn't think he could hurt a fly. He'd throw himself in the river before he'd stand on an ant. "You're not odd, Jube," she said gently, affectionately playing with his hair. "And I will get annoyed if you say you don't matter. You're really important to me, Jube. You know that, right?" She'd moved so that she was knelt infront of him. "The only odd thing about you is how you put up with me," she added. "Oh, and that you're a boy." She grinned to show she was teasing, turning her back to him and leaning against his legs. They were a strange pair, he in the chair and her on the floor, resting against him. She sometimes wondered if she hadn't met Jube if she would have be all alone. He cared for her and she trusted him completely. "I promise," she said, looking at the wall oposite, "no matter what happens, I'll never leave you, Jube, okay?" She let her head fall back so that she could see him and gave a grin. "Come on, what shall we do, Jube?"

A Brave New World?

I'll have a think about anything else and get back to you. Not that Chastity understands what she's walked into yet. Anyone heard from Black?

Fairy Tale

This is now closed. Thanks those who were interested :)

Lonely greetings from the Land of the Rising Sun!

Konichiwa (sorry, only word I know in Japanese, which is stupid because I love anime). I've been here only a couple of days but everyone has been super nice. Best advice I can give is look at what people are interested in doing and PM them. If you have an idea, get it out there. Everyone loves an original idea. Just make sure to Subscribe to anything you're posting on, otherwise it's hard to find it! As for book sugguestions, Terry Pratchet's Discworld series is pretty good, though I'd need to know more about you to be specific (The books are all in the same world but there are different main characters depending on interest). Anyway, happy trails!

The Dragon Empire

Kes smiled at his words, which was why she probably would have throttled Pepper for the action taken. "You git, Pepper!" she shouted at him, as he laughed and ran off. "Next time I see you, you're dead!" She looked at Jube's back as he continued walking. He never defended himself. He just took the stupid things the other boys did. "I would be a widow 10 minutes after the service, at the latest, if my mother ever thought of choosing Pepper as my husband," she said, trying to make Jube smile. "If he even made it to the ceremony." Jube was taller than her, and a year older, but sometimes he seemed to make himself small, like this would make people leave him alone. She waited until he sat down, then checked the back of his neck. There was a red mark and a scratch. "I'm going to beat him to within an inch of his life," she growled as she lifted her scarf and brushed away the dirt carefully. "You're too sweet, Jube. Seriously, I'm going to get my father's hammer and make that pig squeal. Why do you put up with that?" It was a stupid question, one she'd asked him 100 times before. The problem was that she couldn't bare it. She'd once hit Pepper with a branch so hard he'd ran home crying, but that was after the pig had cornered Jube. He never learnt. "You need to stand up for yourself," she said, checking the mark. They'd always been like this. She was the aggressive, protective one, he the kind soul. "Jube," she said gently, standing behind him and resting her hands on his head so she could put her chin there. "What would you do if someone threw a stone at me?"

Fairy Tale (closed. RE: carsgovroom only)

Ooc: sorry. Changed it. I’ve got 2 similar threads going. :S He looked over her head at his sister, who was smiling and following behind, though at a little distance. Did he imagine her looking at something, pausing just before she left the balcony? He was brought back by Ella's words. "You always did like to dance," he said, looking at her and then flushing slightly but seeming to relax. The descended the stairs that led to the main floor, where the dance was ending. This could be.... The crowd parted as they reached the foot of the stairs and for a second, Stephen was puzzled. He may have been a Prince, but no one ever seemed to notice him. But it became clear as a figure, beaming and wearing finery in red and gold walked over to them. Stephen seemed to freeze. "Stephen," he said with great enthusiasm. "You found my partner. Thank you so much." Edward turned a dazzling smile on Ella, behind him several girls looked extremely unhappy. "Ella," he said with charm, holding out a hand, "my mother has expressed a great wish to see you dance with me. Will you do me the honor?" Without waiting for a response, he bowed and took her hand, pulling her away from Stephen and sweeping her onto the floor before a protest could be made. Then the dance had begun and he was swirling her around the floor. Stephen stood very still, not moving until the crowd closed once more and Ella and Edward were lost to the couples. "Stephen?" said Avril's voice behind him. It was quiet and concerned. He blinked hard and turned to her. "Excuse me," he said, as formally to his sister had she been a stranger. Then he was gone and she knew she wouldn't be able to find him this time. On the dance floor, Edward was looking very pleased with himself. "You look so very beautiful tonight," he said charmingly, gazing down at her like she was the most important creature in the world. "It's hard to believe when I remember you playing in the gardens with mud up to your ankles." He gave a hearty laugh, swirling her around and around. He was strong, but his grip was gentle.

He wasn't the boy I'd come to love anymore | vampire love story

The woman lowered the mirror to look carefully at the girl "Lincy," she repeated, as if testing the name out. "You may as well relax. You'll be with me until he comes and we have a way to go." The woman's eyes were purple, which wasn't the colour for a normal set of eyes. They bore through her. "You're not very good company,"the woman commented, without any emotion behind it, like stating something about the weather."I can't imagine what he sees in you."

The Dragon Empire

She looked at him with wide eyes, then began to laugh. She covered her mouth her hand, chuckling away. "You're such a.... boy," she said, rolling her eyes, though she seemed more relaxed. "You idiot. Like my mother would ever let me marry you." She shook her head. "Don't say something so foolish," she said grinning, her usual smile on her face. "You're going to marry someone sweet someday. You're not going to want a hag around like me forever." She looked more relaxed, as if his words seemed to take a weight off her. She reached out and messed up his hair affectionately. "Thanks Jube," she said. "You're sweet, but you are going to marry for love." She gave him a look that said that she wouldn't have it any other way. "Kes?!" a voice was calling. "Jube?" It was Robin, and he sounded worried. "Found," she said with resignation, her shoulder's drooping. "Looks like I can't hide here any longer." "There you are!" said Robin, his face clearly relieved as he saw them both. "Do you have any idea the worry you've caused?" She looked apologetically at Robin, but said, "the only ones who worry about me are you and Jube." Robin looked at Jube with a smile. "Thanks, Jube." She stuck her tongue out at him. "I'm not coming home," she said simply, putting her arms through one of Jube's like she was preparing not to be taken away. "I'm going to Jube's." "Kes...," sighed Robin. "You know where I'll be. I'm not going back until they give up this stupid idea." She smiled at Jube as Robin threw his hands up in the air. "Don't worry," she whispered to him. "I'll not stay long." Robin led the way back to the village and she followed behind, releasing Jube but guesting for him to follow. "Let's do something fun," she said, once they reached the outskirts of the village. She looked at him carefully, realizing she'd made him worry. "I'll be okay," she said seriously. "I don't want you to be unhappy either, Jube. One day, we won't have to listen to ignorant and stupid people. One day...." She stared at the sky as a pair of birds flew overhead. "One day, I'm going to fly away from this place." She looked back to him and gave him a smile. "What shall we do? Anything you want."

The Dragon Empire

She shook her head. "Sometimes Robin has a big mouth," she said, looking away from him. "He didn't need to tell you. It's not happening." At his word about convincing her family, she kicked the tree in frustration. "Or what, Jube?" she said, her words harsh as she put her back to him. "You know my mother. She wants me to be like Swallow and Swan. She doesn't want to see that I'm nothing like them. She thinks me mar...." She choked on the words. "She thinks it'll make me like everyone else." She stared at her feet. She couldn't even begin to explain how upset the conversation had made her. Not only had her mother got it into her head that she should marry, but she thought..... "You'll be just like your sisters, happy with little children. You can devote your life to them. You can stop acting out. I see I've not given you enough attention", she'd said this in front of everyone. "I see that now. That was why you chose to hang around with that boy. You wanted me to take notice. Well I am now and I promise I have a lovely boy in mind who will make you very happy and you won't need to see that boy She had kept saying "boy" with such an unpleasant tone. She couldn't bare it. Jube had been the only person who ever listened to her. He was her friend and her mother spoke like he was some childhood toy that she could put away. "Or what?" she repeated, this time more quietly, her eyes on her shoes. "If I stay, she'll make me marry him. My father won't get involved, it's woman's stuff. He doesn't care about what I want."

A Brave New World?

Could try charming the guards, depending on their preference depends if Charity or one of your guys would be best ;) That could always be the "obvious" ploy, which they know won't work and that the guard will become suspitious, so they also do a feint to get in through a way they know they'd get caught, leaving 2 of them to actually hit the real target whilst the other 2 are being "told off/having their wrists slapped." If they get caught, that was only the decoy plan. If they don't and the person who is hitting the ploy exit might just get in. Either way, they cover their bases and get what they want. Just a thought, not original but might work.
