im obsessed with the book im writing so have some incorrect quotes with the characters!!

again, these are characters from the book im writing, and i will probably post more of the story here as i write it but for now im hyperfixated on this lmao !! <3

☆≛☆

Zarina: Why would you think any of this was a good idea?! Mitah: Probably because I’m a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence. Zarina: Oh... Rori, from across the room: I don’t understand how you keep forgetting that.

-

Rori: Isn't it weird that people kill mosquitoes just because they're annoying? Mitah: Damn, if people did that to each other, Zarina would've killed me years ago.

-

Zarina: What did Mitah do this time? Rori: More like WHO did Mitah do this time?

-

Zarina: I'm gonna eat the chicken breasts! Rori, snickering: Yeah, eat what you lack. Mitah, deadpanning at Rori: Then maybe I should order brains on delivery for you.

-

Rori, whispering to Zarina, who's on the phone with Mitah: Ask them something! Zarina: How are you feeling? Mitah: Fine. Rori: Something personal! Zarina: At what age did you first get your period?

-

Mitah: I have lots of friends! Zarina: Name one. Mitah: Well, there’s- Zarina: Name one you haven’t gotten incredibly angry at. Mitah: Hey, that’s not fair, then there isn’t any!

-

Rori: If you’re going to suggest I try dropping twenty feet down a pitch dark tower in the hope of hitting a couple of greasy little steps which might not even still be there, you can forget it. Mitah: There is an alternative, then. Rori: Out with it. Mitah: You could drop five hundred feet down a pitch black tower and hit stones which certainly are there.

-

Zarina rori couldn't find his way out of a paper bag! Rori: That's not true! I found my way out of a paper bag yesterday!

-

Mitah: we could make a boys club! Rori: Im non-binary. Mitah: Mitah: Anti-girls club.

-

Rori: What's your greatest fear? Zarina: Being forgotten. Rori: ... Rori: Damn, that's deep. Rori: Mine is the Kool Aid man, but I feel kinda stupid about it now...

-

Mitah, trying their first ever cup of coffee: I am ENERGY! Zarina, an avid coffee drinker, on their twelfth cup of the day: Someone slap me awake or I am literally going to fall into a coma in ten seconds.

-

Mitah: You were wise to seek help from the world's most deadly weapon. Mitah: It's me.

-

Zarina: You don't need my blessing to go kiss Rori. In fact, I was pretty sure you were already kissing Rori! Mitah: Nope. Zarina: In that case, as the archbishop of Mitah's fully awakened gaydom, I give you my blessing to immediately leave and rectify that as soon as possible! Go now, my child, and kiss Rori right on the lips!!!

-

Zarina: I love you. Mitah: How many people have you said that to? Zarina: Everyone. Mitah: What? Zarina: I told everyone that I love you.

-

Mitah, to Rori: One universe, nine planets, seven seas, seven continents, and I had the unfortunate luck of meeting you. Zarina: Hey, that’s not very nice- Rori: There are only eight planets, you uncultured swine! Zarina, forgetting about Mitah: VIVA LA PLUTO, FUCK YOU!

Challenge #04489-L105: Deep Down Farming

I'm a half-human with an unusual gift. Who am I? Oh just a simple farmer. What do I raise? Cattle? Oh no, too many monsters, though I can hunt those for food, giant boars and huge deer taste good. I raise Dire Spiders. The silk ensures clothing, money, and my gift? I can understand their feelings so I know how to ensure they have a comfortable home. -- Anon Guest

People up on the surface always make the same mistake about the Everdark. One of the most popular ones is its eternal darkness. I mean, it is right there in the name. And sure, lots of the Everdark is as lightless as promised, but there's illuminating fungi, crystals, and varying permanent light spells along the safe pathways.

They are correct in that the Everdark is dangerous. The world around us was made for Dragons, so the caverns and chasms were also made for Dragons. Enrichment for them is... well. Dangerous for anything not a Dragon.

If you know what you're doing, or are with people who know what they're doing, the Everdark is easy to live in. Relatively speaking. For halfbreds like me, there's little that's easy.

i put the main characters of my current story in a lineup! the story follows two newly-turned vampires as they journey into a realm of eternal night in order to solve a mystery. i definitely want to draw the other characters at some point!

also repurposing dnd characters you may never end up playing into original story characters is incredibly fun and i highly recommend it. i did play erevan once though and i def wanna play the others at some point.

Challenge #04449-L065: City of Lights in the Dark

In this village, there were no such thing as "low born" and "high born". There were no such thing as "dark" and "light' except for "Were the candles lit so we can read?" In this place, dark elves, kobolds, and hellkin lived peacefully along with humans and other "light" races. Needless to say, adventuring parties learn quickly that discrimination, here, is absolutely forbidden. -- Lessons

[AN: The ability to see in the dark has its limits in Alfarell. People who have it can see hues of grey and shapes. Reading requires light enough to see colour, and twilight situations completely mess them up. Therefore, all libraries have enough light to read with]

There's a name for settlements like Haven Hollow. Places where the exiles make a space of their own of relative safety. They're called Unwelcome Towns. They're towns almost entirely populated by the Unwelcome People.

Hellkin, halfbreds, Dark Elves, Deep D'varuv... Kobolds and Gobelliin and Harukh, oh my. If there's Humans there, it's a safe bet they were born there[1] or "stolen fair and square" from a situation in which they'd have otherwise died. Places like this generally have one threat - Adventurers.

So very many of the "good folk"[2] mistake an Unwelcome Town for a den of evil.

Challenge #04426-L042: Not Made For You

There's only one rule in this dungeon, stay out of the places with bright light. That is an odd thing, for usually the light brings clarity. But here? It's used to fool the unwary unto danger. -- Anon Guest

One truth is known to those who build and keep dungeons: Adventurers like light. They're surface folk, they can't help it. For them, light is safety, security, and sanctuary. So there was a time that those who wished to discourage Adventurers put deadly traps in welcoming light.

This is the only one that survives.

Adventurers don't like the deceptive dungeons, to the point where most of them were utterly destroyed. And so were the people who built them. The only reason this particular dungeon remains is simple: Everdark denizens can become Adventurers too.

Challenge #04799-M050: It's a Start

I've killed so many. Teufel, Kobolds, Vampires, ... so many. Even a dragon. Yet, you... you let me live. But more important, you saved my family. I was taught to hate you, fear you.... never even tried to understand. Ye gods... what have I done? Even if I lived a thousand years.... I don't think I could ever atone for it all. -- Anon Guest

There's only so many careers that are obviously predestined when given the name Guy Stronginthearm. One was becoming a Monster Hunter. He'd done very well, being a hero to everyone he met. He'd defended the proper, upstanding citizens from every monster that could have threatened them.

Then he fell in a sinkhole, almost to his death.

Guy was pleasantly shocked to find himself breathing in the near-pitch gloom after the fall. Especially since his clothes were soaked with chill water. Well. He hoped it was water. He did not expect to see twin points of light watching him from a safe distance away.
