me: this post will be long, but not that long

me, 2,000+ words later:

Image


In all seriousness, my first post is up! I'm thinking that the reasons the villains attacked the school was because our big bad heard that some reincarnated kiddos were there, but the ski mask guys have no idea who they're looking for.

They do, on the other hand, have magic. :P

I also left it so everyone but Mari & Jane have undetermined starting points in the storybook! I wasn't sure what all the characters would want to do on field day, and I was too impatient to ask before I wrote my post/posted it. :P

I'm thinking that this round of posts is basically the "fight the villains" round. After we all go, I'll wrap up the fights and we can move into the next round of posts in the storybook. :)

(That's presumably the round where they decide to become heroes!)

That's a great post! I think I'll go next since I'm already on, and I have nothing to do.

I just have one question, and maybe you already confirmed this before, but: is Nathan someone who will help them, since he is Jane's brother, or is he the big bad?

Thanks, @Valkyria! You going next sounds great to me. :)

And Nathan's definitely not the big bad! I usually would throw a twist like that into my storybooks, but Nathan & Jane were made long before I wrote this - so I could never make him evil. Nathan's a sweetie. <3

Edit: In case it wasn't clear in my post/for future reference, Nathan always lies. He can theoretically nod to say yes, but he can't verbally tell the truth. The only exception is if he's in some kind of contact with Jane. If you want to include Jane and Nathan in your post and aren't sure how to write him/his lying, let me know!

I'll try to get a CP up for Nathan sometime in the near future. :)

AHHH MAGE I LOVED THE LOG FIGHT SHENANIGANS!! you captured them perfectly and I think one of these days they're going to have to have a rematch to figure out the true winner of that medal heheh

Nathan is def a sweetie <3 so was he the cat all along? because I get cat vibes hahaha

after Jane fell, Mari probably got swept away from the smoke and chaos. just an FYI if anyone was watching them or nearby and you wanna include her! she's not gonna hesitate to jiu-jutsu their butts LOL

Thank you!! I'm glad you liked the shenanigans - and I'd definitely be down for a rematch in the future. :)

Nathan actually wasn't the cat! Jane just kept naming things Nathan growing up, and the cat was one of them. :)

But now that you pointed it out, I can definitely see the cat-like personality traits. :P

I love your post, @Valkyria! It was cool seeing Pheonix's dream of using her powers at the start of her post, and then seeing her use them in modern times in the second half.

And Jane would definitely join her for that ATLA binge!

love the post, valk!! you just gave me inspiration for my post that I think would be perfect >:) especially as an end scene. so I think it'd be better if I included the others so I'll wait a lil bit! but might get too impatient and may post it in a few days anyways if others haven't got yet lol

when Nathan covered his face I definitely imagined it like a cat trying to lick its face lol can't unsee

on an unrelated note, I LOVE how the log fighting and watermelon references were included hahah

It's a free-for-all!

And @SirenCymbaline, probably! I'm still trying to decide if it's a legit CP or a NPC CP, but he'll be getting some kind of one soon. :)

Armed with her pillow and long-lost brother, Jane charged into the smoke.


Ahhhhh....this line...its too perfect.

Those were awesome!! I love where this appears to be headed. Also water. Now I know that it takes salt water to conduct electricity but physics can take a backseat for this one...
