The Authors of Paradise @authorsofparadiseroleplay - Tumblr Blog

//Posting another reminder that I’ve pretty much moved to Discord for role playing now. I’ll be doing most of my writing from a group server, so if you’d like in, feel free to drop me a note and I’ll give you an invite link!

I haven’t been writing much lately (just some in-character chatty stuff) but I’ll be getting back to it when the muse returns.

#reblogging myself

//Me: Okay, gonna try to write now.

Shadow: That means it’s playtime, doesn’t it? PLAYTIME!!!

#lmao i'll write something if i can focus for three seconds

starbornknight:

Of course, of course. Never happened. I mean, that would be crazy wouldn’t it? Yowza.

Oh, yes. Totally bonkers. Seriously, could you imagine? My God. The world would definitely implode.

#starbornknight #lmao when is harry not a little shit #for that matter when is ev #Memoirs of a Tourist (Evelyn)

//I am eating leftover turkey day stuff for lunch, then I’ll try to do some writing.

Dresden Files verse for Ev is kinda stirring up the muse, so will probably focus on that.

Evelyn: The next time I’m drunk, for the love of all that is holy, please somebody keep me away from Twitter.

Thomas was acting like Christmas had come early, so I don’t think you should count on him to keep you honest.

Of course he would. The fiend.

Just so we’re clear, that was just a lot of drunk rambling. I don’t see-- I mean. Not that you’re not-- you know. I mean, you’re you. And I’m me. And, oh, hell, I don’t know what I mean. Let’s just pretend that never happened, okay?

#starbornknight #ev has literally no idea what she's saying #she's doing the inane rambling thing again #Memoirs of a Tourist (Evelyn)

Evelyn: The next time I’m drunk, for the love of all that is holy, please somebody keep me away from Twitter.

//I’m considering the merits of returning to the name James Cavanaugh for my Dragon hybrid. Connor Drake still isn’t quite clicking with me.

Flip-flop goes my brain.

authorsofparadiseroleplay

//Okay, yes, I’m changing back. The bulk of my threads use the name James and it just fits better.

authorsofparadiseroleplay

//Reblogging for those who missed it yesterday, but with an addendum:

To make it easier on my partners, if I’ve been calling him James for the duration of our threads, I’ll keep calling him James. If I’ve been calling him Connor, I’ll stick with Connor. Both are aliases, and it’s feasible he could use either one at any given time. This will hopefully prevent any confusion or annoyance at having a name suddenly change.

For new rp partners, I’ll stick with James.

#there i think that's a good compromise #i'll update the main about page to include both aliases

//Shadow dog is bouncing off the walls, so it’s playtime. Probably done with writing for now, but I’ll be back tomorrow if the muse holds out!

❝ I shouldn’t, should I? But you — you have some serious security issues you need to handle ASAP! Atrocious, isn’t it? Look at me, a complete stranger, just poppin’ in, unannounced! Insufficient security, that’s how. Shame on you. ❞

Evelyn scowled and crossed her arms over her chest. “Nice deflection, very well executed; maybe a tad heavy-handed, though. Might want to work on that. And my security is top-notch, thank you very much.” Maybe a bit unconventional, what with the magickal warding and the presence of the house’s construct intelligence keeping things in check, but still, top-notch. “Which again leads to my earlier questions. Which you conveniently have yet to answer. And which you might want to be answering sooner rather than later, because I’m starting to get grumpy. Random strangers breaking into my home kind of have that effect on me.”

#dochaes #sorry this took fifty million years lol #role play #tbt

@starbornknight said: ❝ alright, stand close to me and pretend you’re mean. ❞ (starbornknight, for Ev)

“Pretend?” Smirking, Evelyn gave him a sideways glance and put her hands on her hips. “My friend, you vastly underestimate my propensity for sheer cattiness.”

To prove her point, Evelyn gave the target of their aggression an unwavering stare as she reached out to one side and daintily pushed an expensive-looking vase across the decorative table it was, well, decorating, until it tipped over the side and landed with a pronounced thump on the carpeted floor.

She glanced down at it, brow furrowing. “Huh. That was supposed to break.”

southern-belle-outcasts:

The idea of sleep was frankly a touch laughable for Sara. She didn’t sleep much in her own quarters, let alone unknown surroundings. The noise hadn’t exactly come as a surprise to her though. Keeping company with the types of people that she did, people sleep talking and nightmares was just par for the course when it came to what people dealt with.

She shifted up and leaned her forearms onto her knees, narrowing blue eyes to try and see in the poor lighting if the other woman was even awake yet, or still unconscious.

“Sounded like all kinds of fun times you were having,” she said, the words quiet and matter of fact, the sarcasm dry in the face of the dark and the lack of familiarity. “You want some scotch for that?” she offered, shifting a hip to pull out her flask. Honestly it was a joke even carrying a flask when she had such a good tolerance, but she still liked the flavor, and in a situation as this, it did actually have the potential to do something for someone else.

“Don’t have to talk about it. Less you want to. I sure won’t be pressuring for that.”

Evelyn went still when she saw the silhouetted figure sit up from within the fitfully sleeping group sprawled around the floor of the house’s great room. The moonlight leaking through the broken windows did little to light up the space, so she wasn’t sure who it was until the other woman spoke.

“Mmm,” she said noncommittally. “The fun never ends.”

The offer of scotch elicited a faint smile, and she rose stiffly from the floor, carefully stepping over and around the group of prone, sleeping bodies so she could settle on the floor next to Sara. “Don’t mind if I do. Thanks.”

Taking the proffered flask, she let a sip of the fiery liquid slide down her throat before handing it back to Sara. She pushed the hair out of her eyes as she tried to grasp the tattered remnants of her dream, but she was left only with a memory of fire, and an unsettling certainty that the dream was more than a dream.

A memory...

She shrugged and pulled her jacket around herself more snugly. “Everyone’s got their demons.” A ghost of a smile touched her lips before vanishing again just as quickly. “Thanks for the lack of prying. I’m... a pretty private person, which probably doesn’t sound very fair to all of you, considering you’re kind of stuck with me for a bit until we can figure out how to get back home.” Or maybe they were stuck with her. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.

My brain: Want angst. Want whump. Want fluff. Want holiday stuff.
