Hi everyone! 

I’ve just sent in a drop for all of my remaining characters in Isola. I’ve had a lot of fun threading with y’all as Enkidu, Francesca, Cayden, Flat, and so-on in Isola and in the Before Place. Fact is though, I think I’m a little burnt out on Tumblr RP. I’ve been doing it for probably 9 or 10 years now with only one hiatus in that time, and that’s a lot. Keeping up with threads and activity has felt more and more like a chore that I need to force myself to do. I have a lot of fun sometimes! 

Anyway, I might still do a thread or two on the side, but I won’t be associated with the group anymore.

Feel free to get in touch if you want! My Discord is siriex#2413. (If you could tell me who you are when you send a request, I’d appreciate it! I won’t accept requests when I don’t know who it’s coming from.) My Twitter is private and kind of selective, but if you’d like to send a request it’s siriexmachina. I can’t promise I’ll accept your follow request, but you’re welcome to give it a shot!

Anyway, it’s been great writing with all of you! I’ve had a lot of fun over the last decade or so.  Perhaps I’ll be back someday... Who knows! But for now, Bye!

He really shouldn’t have acknowledged that this Flat was older than him- those three or so years had clearly not matured him. Maybe he’d aged like computers did- worse.

Svin growled in his throat in response, though it was more of a threatening play growl than when he really got fired up. “You’re just like you always were, down to that irritating grin of yours! Just wait, I’ll hit a growth spurt and I’ll be the taller one, or I’ll get my powers back- hmph!” Svin tossed his hair, putting on the airs of being grumpy, when really this whole thing was second nature to the two of them.

Flat’s method of deciding which direction to go was nonsensical, but Svin didn’t know the city at all and couldn’t have done better. “This place has a lot to offer, huh?” He followed Flat at his side, which always seemed like something of a bad idea, yet he always did it anyway.

Their last shopping trip… Gray usually did the shopping for Lord El-Melloi II, but they’d been deployed on some occassion for him or for their own interests. “I seem to recall us coming back with twice as many items as we were supposed to get, and only half were on the list.” He blinked. “Also, we really ought to use a shopping cart or basket instead of pretending it’s reasonable to carry everything ourselves.”

“Yeah! There’s a whole lot! It’s way better than the places we used to go.” There was a skip in Flat’s step. It was nice hearing Svin recall one of their shopping trips- One, because there were at least two similar incidents. Three was the charm: Lord El Melloi II had never asked them again. 

“You can buy all kinds of stuff around here! There’s a lotta magecraft tools you can just buy at normal stores! Plus you can buy a ton of foods from all over the world, and all kinds of parallel universes. There are dragons and werewolves and AI, and all kinds of people and stuff everywhere. If the old guys from the Clock Tower came here, their eyes would bug out!”

“I’m really glad you’re here! Now we’ve got the whole class! Except Caules I guess.” And, well, all the other students that Flat didn’t really care about. “Now if only Jack was here it’d be perfect!”

And there he was, sitting carelessly on the sidewalk. A large, gallon sized bottle of distilled peach rum (!?).

He hadn’t noticed Flat’s presence until the voice greeted him energetically from the side. The pirate hat tilted on his head, and he didn’t seem to care at all. The disheveled shirt and the black choli beneath, only added to his disgraceful appearance.

“Eh?” he looked up slowly, dark eyelids almost closing as if the sun was too bright. The light caught his attention more than whatever Flat said. The jiggling glowing ball was far more captivating.

“You wanna go plundering? Sure. Let’s raid this place and ravage their ports!” 

“Plundering?” Well he was a pirate! But that wasn’t the usual kind of language he’d use, so he’d definitely already eaten the candy. No fair! 

“Is that alcohol? Wow, you’ve already had a lot.” Though it would be funny to see him try to plunder somewhere in this state, Flat was pretty sure that the professor would object to that kind of thing. In this case, that meant that he should probably stop Judar, right? That said, plundering sounded like the sort of thing that was fine on Halloween. 

He took another moment to think about it. 

“Okay! Let’s Trick-Or-Treat! If they don’t give us treats, then plundering can be the trick!” That was okay, right?

“I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened, but I also feel it would be interesting. I believe there’s a few dragons who live here, one of them would probably be more than okay to help teach us the dragon ways should we need it.” Mariko’s words are followed by a light giggle. 

“The people who brought us here sure hold  a lot of power. I wonder if we’ll ever actually get to meet them all…in person. I’d like to ask them why they chose us.”

“I think I’d probably wanna ask them how they brought us here.” Flat cupped his drink in his hands, and took a small sip. 

“Bringing all kinds of people to one place from all kinds of parallel universes is definitely a kind of True Magic. But how’d they get all that power? And what kinda technique did they use? I’ve got tons of questions.” But it probably wouldn’t be so easy to approach them. It was a real shame.

@grayvekeep​

Flat had long-since determined that he was going to eat one of the candies. He just hadn’t figured out the details. Not, at least, until he saw Gray and the implications of her costume really hit him. 

“We can swim together!” A kraken! An anglerfish! They could have all kinds of adventures together! 

[chaosmagecraft]

@letscursefate​

Apparently Judar was... Kind of? Matching the family theme. That meant he was pretty much family, right? 

Flat hurried up to Judar, the obnoxious little light he’d sewn into his anglerfish headband bobbing in front of him. 

“Happy Halloween! You’re dressed up too! Hey- are you gonna go trick-or-treating? Too bad you’re way too old now. But I guess they’ve got that costume candy for free, and that’s pretty cool on its own.” 

[chaosmagecraft]

A tiny event ad for Flat! 

He’s going to be dressed as an angler fish (a female one specifically, ‘cause they’re just so much cooler).  He’s saving his candies until he’s near water just in case. He doesn’t want to find out what’ll happen if he’s not underwater. 

Like this post for a starter! Capping at 4.

“Flat! I haven’t seen you in forever!”

Ai waved his arms in return with such exuberance he looked to be in danger of losing control of his drone.

“You’ve grown! Or, I suppose from your perspective, I’ve shrunk… I’m surprised you could still recognize me.” What an odd two weeks it had been when he’d been stuck as he was two years ago.

“So, what’ve you been up to? What’re you doing today? I’ve got nothing important going on. I’m so bored.”

Of course! Flat would recognize his friend anywhere. No one else gave off quite the same feeling. He danced about, fascinated by Ai’s drone. Where was the powersource? It must’ve had some sort of batter. But was it solar powered? Or did it have to charge up through other means? 

“I’ve just been messing around and playing a lotta games lately, but I guess a whole lot of other stuff happened since we last talked! Or maybe not? There’s a whole lot of space-time weirdness going on.” 

“I was just going for a walk since my professor said I couldn’t just spend all day in front of a screen. Which is dumb, ‘cause he plays games just as much as I do. What’re you doing?”

grandorder​:

come in the near future - and there will be, if things persist at the pace it’s been going. As for the tea, well, there’s always more to fish out of his substantial collection, should they ever run out. Food secured in some way, all that’s truly left for them now is to hunt down that long-awaited leyline. Kirsch follows with the same level of excitement, albeit far more subtle and subdued in comparison to Flat’s own.

“We’ll find one. Whether or not it’s strong will remain to chance, however.” Though it would certainly cut some corners if it was strong enough. “As does the creation of workshop. But it’s not a bad idea to have one on hand for the foreseeable future, given the nature of this place. Does your professor have one at the moment?”

“I dunno. I don’t think he mentioned any workshop, but he did send up a bounded field in the yard...” Where they currently are. Flat keeps his eyes trained on his makeshift pendulum. “Hmmm... Nothing here. Lesse... Spirals have a lotta significance in a lotta cultures, so maybe there’s one in Fibonacci?”

… the boat aspect was potentially a good point. It was either that or spend an indefinite amount of time on this island, which didn’t sound terribly pleasant.

Granted, had Reines known the entire intent was to be more like James Bond, she probably would have put up more of a fight.

“Let’s go!” The thrilled Trimmau spoke for them, taking the lead as she begun down the hall. Of course the ‘robot from the future’ would be delighted for the chance to protect her charges from a lethal enemy.

Flat sped up so he could walk side-by-side with Trimmau. Sure, she was supposed to be protecting them, and sure, she was a mystic code, but Flat considered her a very good friend and had even, on one occasion, asked her on a date. 

This would be a fun date too! But he hadn’t asked her, so it didn’t count. 

“Hey, do you think if we look around, we’ll find any experiment logs and stuff? Like in a video game! I wonder if they’ve done any experiments with magecraft! I bet we could learn some cool new spells!” Flat did, at least, recognize the need for stealth, which meant that he was using a stage whisper instead of his usual volume.

gentlelxllaby​:

“You could perhaps eat half the moon?” Maybe it wouldn’t be too dangerous, but…also maybe that wasn’t a good idea. She was aware of some moon deity. Wouldn’t want to upset them. “You’d get to fly and breathe out fire. I’m sure there’s Earth dragons or water dragons out there too.”

Now he’s got her thinking of what kind of dragon she’d be. “I’m not sure, myself. It’s a little hard to say isn’t it?”

“There are plenty of those,” Flat conceded, “But I guess people use dragons to explain all kinds of natural disasters, so no matter what kinda dragon you are, you’re gonna be causing trouble.”

“But yeah. It is hard to know. I guess there’s not a lotta way to tell unless you actually turned into a dragon. Except this kinda place could turn us into dragons, so maybe we’ll find out. I mean if they can make us younger and older, I bet they can do all kinds of stuff!”

@oneeyedpsychic​

This was only the third time Flat had formally met Zal, but she was part of the family, right? come to think of it that way, he hadn’t seen her much lately. Maybe it was because of his gaming marathons... But maybe there was something else? 

Maybe she was kidnapped? Or fighting with the professor like Reines? That was pretty normal for Reines, but the professor had enough on his plate as it was. Flat didn’t want him fighting with anyone else! ... No, he was probably just jumping to conclusions. 

“Hey, Zal! Where have you gooing here?” Oops. He’d definitely mixed up two things he’d wanted to say in one. ... Oh well! 

[chaosmagecraft]

@darknessfoundlove​

Technically Flat had never met Ai in this form, but he looked familiar (and unique) enough that there was no doubt of who he was. Flat also looked different, but he dressed similarly enough that he was sure he’d recognize him. 

He did not hesitate to run up to him with his arms waving. 

“Libellule! Hey! You’re still around!” It felt like ages, even though it probably had only been a few months. Time was really weird in this place sometimes. 

[chaosmagecraft]

grandorder​:

Let it be said that Flat is not without his merits. There’s definite ingenuity underneath what one could easily consider to be madness or airheadedness, depending. Few mages would do what Flat does, likely because they never thought of looking beyond the box they were firmly seated within ( or elsewhere, to their pants ). 

“After all our theorising and speculation? I don’t see why not.” The cake’s left where it is: that can be something for later, if Flat wants, or a gift for the rest of the household. The tea, though, is summarily sipped and emptied, though not without a small downside. “Ah, the tea’s gone cold. Well, no matter.” There’s plenty more where that came from.

“Shall we, then?”

“Yeah, sorry!” Frankly, over the course of Flat’s tea-drinking life, he’d left far more cups tea half-finished than he’d ever emptied. The cake, though, they should probably save. He picks it up and shoves it in the fridge, probably damaging it in the process, but who cares? Cake is about how it tastes- not how it looks!

Cake secured, Flat runs to the front door and shoves his feet into his shoes through brute force. 

“Man, I hope there’s a really strong leyline nearby. I bet the professor’d be really happy! Plus it’d be really handy if we could just set up a workshop right at home!” 

[chaosmagecraft]

princesselmelloi​:

“…”

So much for him forgetting. Could Anda potentially be bribed into erasing Flat’s memory? Would it be worth it to be nice to them in exchange for her stupid childhood stunt being forgotten?

No, even if Anda would be willing (unlikely to begin with), Anda was less tolerable than Flat. Even with this addition.

“Trimmau doesn’t have her shapeshifting back. Exploring could actually kill us.”

There she was again. Flat’s ‘little sister’ really was hesitant to take some risks have some fun. Sure, he had barely any of his magecraft, but James Bond didn’t have magecraft, and he could definitely deal with this! 

“But we’re probably gonna be in trouble if we stay here too.” he observed. “And I don’t think either of us is good enough at swimming to leave the island that way, so we might as well look around. If we look around, maybe we can find a boat!” 

[chaosmagecraft]

A small RP ad! If you haven’t interacted with Flat before, I highly encourage you to like!

“I did! The robots in it were very similar to myself.” Trimmau was always happy to see Flat, at least. With Reines having moved to the Mistwoods and recently gone so far as to make it a point to avoid the boy, she didn’t see nearly enough of him any more.

Speaking of Reines, she was fighting to keep from rubbing her temples in a manner remincent of her Brother. She could deal with this. It was just Flat. With her on the island ratest the highest for danger. After their last disastorous meeting.

There was hope, though. He was still calling her Princess. Perhaps he had forgotten the agreement their youngest selves had made. It would certainly make matters go much more smoothly.

“The rain chose it for me. I had no intent to draw my elder Brother’s ire by willingly selecting to come to any island.”

Oh right. the professor would be upset if he knew they’d put themselves in danger again. Flat experienced a brief moment o dread as he considered just how angry he would be when he found out. ... But that was for later. For now they were here, so they would just have to do their best to survive! (But Flat was not going to hole up and wait for this to pass. Oh, no.) 

“Well, I’m not gonna be mad!” He puffed out his chest. He hadn’t forgotten. Oh, no. Not in the least. “We can just apologize later! So let’s go explore! We’ve got Trimm with us so it’ll be fine!”
