• The name’s Boris Tallstaff!

• I ain’t no Conjurer, I just like the colors

• Got a question? I have an answer!

• Try to keep up I don’t like repeatin’ myself <3

Why can’t things be normal?

[boris-bookblog]

Nah because why ya boi freaking out you haven't even been away that long or is he jus always tweakin

Gonna level with ya—I got no clue what ‘tweaked’ is supposed to mean. But Malorn? Yeah, he’s been wound pretty tight lately.

[artur-gryphonbane]

I haven't heard anything from Malorn, so I'll just assume he hasn't changed his mind in regards to helping me out. I'm headed to his dorm now and I'll update when I can since I know for a fact I'm not the only one worried about him

[boris-bookblog]

I will come with you

[boris-bookblog]

I know I shouldn't get involved with relationship stuff unless asked but.

Making sure, nothing happened between you and Malorn before he got all...irritated, right?

Do you think it's alright to let him cool off?

And uh, are you ok? I have some extra snacks if you'd like to share.

Not like a can stop a scion from doing what they think is right.

But truth is, I think Malorn’s just got a bad case of the grumps. He’ll shake it

[boris-bookblog]

I think I missed SEVERAL things. What in the spiral happened between you and Malorn?! I saw him being an ass to you in comments

~A Concerned Pyromancer~

I’m guessin’ he just needs a little space. Can’t say I know what I did ta set him off, but hey—sometimes all ya can do is wait for a guy to come around.

Appreciate the concern, pyromancer.

Either way, I’ll be back in the library, doin’ my usual business

[boris-bookblog]

((OOC: went ahead and took the liberty of deleting my response posts from the main wizard101 and w101 tags and am now putting them in #wizard101 character blog, as to avoid congestion, I can totally see how that’s been a nuisance

But also vague posting is cringe, if you got an issue there is nothing stopping you from blocking my account, or if it’s anything more serious— addressing me directly.

And while I’m here thank you to those who have been interested in the story :D and to the blogs willing to collaborate with me))

[boris-bookblog]

And so the aeonium blooms, watered by crimson tears.

My many thanks.

Can’t a fella get one day without an ominous ask in his box?

[malornthenecromancer]

Put on the maid outfit

🔫

@boris-bookblog

...Really? After being sure your safe again this is your priority?

[boris-bookblog]

Wh- HUH???!!!

I DID NOT SAY THIS

[boris-bookblog]

nah brah I think Simeon and you straight up died

rip ig ☠️

Not dead. Just recuperating.

Safe to say much has happened.

I won’t keep my viewers in the dark for long but know that I will be taking a short break. Gotta give what truly matters the attention he deserves

[boris-bookblog]

What exactly are you and Simeon looking for in Dragonspyre? I'm sure any food you brought has been eaten since now. So much for a "short" trip. I wish you both well in your travels and that you may find what it is which you seek

You kinda got an ominous speech anon.

But if I’m bein’ honest? Dunno. Simeon said we were going to his ‘home’, but everything here is just ruins and ghosts. I can’t imagine where a house would be amidst it all.

But hey, we’re already two days in and apparently almost there! I’ll update the log and let ya know the details

[boris-bookblog]

What food sounds best? Honey crepes, grilled cheese with bacon, or deep fried fish?

I also figured out a few desserts if there's one you want: peanut butter chocolate squares, lemon crisp cookies, mango muffins, and banana mousse

Sorry if this seems excessive. Trying to keep busy, you know?

~M.A

I can’t even tell ya how nice it is seein’ your name pop up in my box. Feels good—little bit’a normal after the day I’ve had.

When I get back, whaddya say we make some crepes together, yeah?

[malornthenecromancer]

If I wasn't worried before I certainly am now...

I know I can't ask you not to do anything dangerous given where you are, but please at least try to be careful

I don't want to have to help someone identify you...

Just know I'm here if you need anything, ok?

[boris-bookblog]

Hey—those little notes’a yours? More than enough. I’m good, I promise. And with Simeon watchin’ my back, not much gets past us.

Just watch out for yourself, and try not to stay up too late.

Dragonspyre

Log 2

I learned today that hunger makes fools of us all.

Dragonspyre mornings are not quiet. The lava rivers churn and hiss like something alive, and the heat rises early, pressing against your lungs whether you like it or not. I woke with an empty stomach and a foolishly optimistic thought: hey why not fish in the rivers?

It was difficult to see through the molten glow, but I swear something moved beneath the surface — The moment my line dipped too low, it caught fast — not a nibble, but a pull. The rod bent, my boots slid, and suddenly the lava river had opinions about me standing near it. Very strong opinions.

I remember thinking, quite calmly, Ah. This is how I die. Over fish.

Simeon managed to grab me before I could get too close and threw me to the asphalt. At which point I was banned from ever leaving his sight again.

It apparently is only going to get more harrowing the farther we travel, so I didn’t complain.

However I would rather not have the guy breathe down my neck. Yes Simeon I am writing about you deal with it.

Dragonspyre

Log 1

This is not a place that welcomes visitors. It endures them.

The sky hangs low and red, choked with ash and regret. Every stone beneath my boots is scorched, cracked, or replaced by bubbling lava. Dragonspyre is what happens when ambition outpaces wisdom — when a civilization burns itself down and refuses to stop smoldering.

The locals, such as they are, do not speak much of the past. They don’t need to. The ruins do that for them.

I tried to not make a face walking through that world door. This place is as beautiful as it is terrifying, and I’ve gotten up close and personal to its most undesirable details. Now I see why Simeon recommended me the fire-proofed boots.

We settled into a somewhat safe place for the night, never mind the fact that a piece of the roof decided to dislodge and hit my head.

Simeon didn’t laugh, but he looked like he wanted to.

Stay tuned for more

[boris-bookblog]

If you're headed out, do you want me to lock your trash can up for you?

To keep the "raccoon" out

~MA

My trash ain’t exactly a treasure chest. If Garrick’s fishin’ through it, that’s between him and his dignity

[boris-bookblog]

Alright folks—me an’ @firemanetipline are headin’ out on a guys’ trip! Try notta miss us too much!

Special thanks to @cerenity-gardens for packing our lunches. The guy basically spoiled us.

Stay tuned for updates !
