Welcome to Gaia! ::

I just love being on someones list of favorite writers. heart sweatdrop Being spoiled is an added bonus, I suppose. You're something else, man. For real.

Plot movement and character development have always been something I've strived to perfect. Being a roleplayer for more than a few years made that something like manditory, because at first I was horrible at explaining personalities... And then I studied psychiatry for a little while and now I'm not so bad.
I had to do more research when I started writing this, though, for Aniaka and Dei, because I really wanted to be able to take you deep into their psyche's as the story progresses, and really explain why they are who they are, and how its effecting the goings on.

Yeah, there aren't a lot of people who are like that, though, Lea. You're a good person. I respect that.


I love ranting about politics... Have you checked out the second post in my Gaia journal? I go off on tangents like that all the time. I just don't always write them down.

See, the thing with my rants is they are constructed more like speeches than rants. Especially when I write them down, because I can pull out the stuff that doesn't make sense.

Mm.

I'm doing pretty good with getting more done on Maroque. I think this is going to be almost as long as Stephen King made The Stand... Or maybe I might end up turning the story into something like The Dark Tower. >.>

xd heart

If I can turn it into that, I'll buy myself enough ingredients to make myself every baked goodie I can think of and then some! <33

I'm still waiting to August. I want more than I have so far...

Ooh, I just love baking. I would make muffins, and cookies, and cakes, and sticky buns, and cinnamon rolls, and pizzelles, and jam-filled perogies, and cupcakes, and candy-bread... <33

I don't care it's irrelevant. I love chatting.

I love cooking and making food and baking... I've been doing it since I was little. I personally love to make interesting muffins. <33 Banana-Blueberry with chopped hazel nuts and almonds is amazing... And when you add vanilla extract and, of course, grated chocolate, it just makes them way better.

When Anianka and the newcomer, Dei, had vanished for the night Kyonsei left the clearing. She was going to do her own things, Monique be damned, and so be her pets. But she had help, of course. It wasn’t her against the world, Gods dammit, or she’d hide in a cave for eternity. No.

Ayrei was a winged creature modelled after Anubis, the Egyptian God of Embalming and protection of the soul immortal - head of a jackal, body of a man. He was also Kyonsei’s only friend in all of Maroque, just as Italo was Anianka’s only friend in all of the world. Or, her only real friend, the only one she trusted.

Ayrei was older than Kyonsei by far. He had taken her in when she’d died, been her guide, her teacher for the last four hundred years. And he was shadowing them now, so she went to him.

“Do you think she can, or should I kill her now?” she asked, not caring that it was a rude way to begin a conversation.

“Kyonsei, who’s ever wanted to get to the lake for no justifiable reason? She’s our best bet.”

“I’m not sure of her.” she replied. “I think she’s insane.”

“Then she’s more likely to really try, no?”

“I’m going to trust you,” she replied, “but if you’re wrong, I’m going to be so angry...”

“Pray I’m not, then.” he said. “Best bet.”

He smiled at her just then, his canine teeth sparkling in the bluish moonlight. He was sitting cross legged so that she wouldn’t have to crane her neck up to see him; Ayrei was six feet tall. He opened his arms and she went to him. He kissed her hair, holding her gently in his lap.

She didn’t like Anianka, but if Ayrei thought she could best Monique, well, she’d keep on it as long as she felt she was needed. Or until she was bid leave of the task. After all, there was only so much she could do for Anianka before she was useless.

“You might be able to teach her a few things, too.” Ayrei said, breaking her chain of thought. “Who knows?”
