    "Thanks," July said as she sat the plates and drinks down. Not sure what else to do, he attempted to strike up a conversation. Maybe he could learn why she was there. "Hey, uh, what's your name?"
  3. uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

    I told my mom I would go to this stake youth activity because at the time I felt really motived to be social,

    but now it's the day of, and my anxiety has been awful the past few days (as you know well), and I've felt a little off health-wise all day. I don't want to go. Not anymore.

    But she'll force me to anyway.

      My mom didn't force me as much as I expected BUT I ended up going because I decided I can't be a shut-in my entire life.

      That said, I just kinda sat there the whole time.

      I have a whopping 0 irl friends in the church so it's always awkward at activities because I've no one to talk too.

      I did go sit next to some other girls who didn't seem scary, but I didn't have the courage to introduce myself (and the music really loud).

      It didn't end up being that bad I guess--they gave me candy so that's a plus.

    July opened the box, confirming the jewel was inside. He felt a a weight lift off of his shoulders. One less headache. "I guess it is done," July concluded, stowing the box in his bag.

    "O-oh." "Um I will have some . . . meat." Saints above why couldn't he talk like a normal person.

    "Uh . . ." July hated to admit it, but her age disturbed him. It's not like he was much older, but wasn't this the last place a girl her age should be? He knew he'd grown up sheltered, but it still bothered him. Another reason not to like taverns. "What else do you have?" he blurted it out, not sure what to else to say.
  8. "Nope!" Kurtis said, wiping dust of off his face. "You mean that's not common on your planet?" The stone is a sandy color, and crumbles fairly easily the touch. Whatever was holding it together his given up by now. Swirly patterns covered the surface of all of the animal parts, vine-like in texture. As if the creature had been attempting to blend in to it's surroundings, but ultimately failed because of it's material. "True . . ." he scratched his blue chin. "YOU DID GREAT SLEEPER THANKS," Kurtis replied, as the fight was over. "I hope we don't run into them . . . it took forever to take down." Kurtis turned to glance at the sky. The fight had disturbed the forest, and most of the noise-making life had fled, or gone silent. He wondered if that was a good thing or not. With an exhausted sigh, he picked up his sword, and turned to the trial he'd been carving. It was mid-afternoon now, and it felt like their progress had been painstakingly slow. Kurtis wondered if he'd be reprimanded by higher ups if their job was delayed.

    "Of course I have the money. What would the point of coming here be if I didn't?" July kept his raspy voice quiet in active rebellion of the rowdy tavern. He couldn't tell if the pounding in his head was from the noise, or the large bruises on his face. He took the box from Wit with one hand, pulling a sizable pouch of gold out of his cloak with the other. It sunk to the table with a clunk where the box had been. July jolted, having not heard her approach. He forced his heart to calm down. It was only a waitress. He glanced at the bar, where a man was refilling drinks. Would it make him less suspicious if he ordered a drink? But then he'd have to drink it, and alcohol never agreed with his stomach. "Uh . . ." After a silent, unseen battle of panic, he responded. "Do you have . . . water?"
  10. "Um . . . okay," Aki whispers back. "I was just gonna stab things with it."
  11. Aki pulls a long hunting knife out of his belt, and cautiously moves into the tunnel. If there was something in there to fight, might as well get it over with.
  12. "So no worries about insanity," Aki concluded. He wandered over the the tunnel, inspecting it's structural integrity.
  13. "Well, we'll probably be teleported again at some point, right? It always happens after a few hours."
  14. "Aaaand here we go again . . ." Aki pulled out an oil lantern, turning the knob so the little flame inside grew. "I hope we're not trapped down here . . ."
  15. Yeah, that's true . . . maybe it'll work itself out then.
  16. A little . . . that still doesn't explain why the amount I can give is so small though. And the fact that it didn't use to be like this, but is now.
  17. The past few days, I've only been able to give 5 or 6 posts reputation before it tells me I can't add any more reactions. I was under the impression that the daily limit was more like 20 posts? It's worth noting that their has been a lot of SU discussion the past while, so I've been giving rep out more. That said, I still feel like I only use 5 at a time before it tells me I can't give rep anymore. It also 'resets' before another day too. I'll be told I'm out of reactions, but then a few hours later I'll be able to give them again, and then 5 rep given later and I'm out once more. This cycle has repeated the last few days. I don't think it's an issue with my computer, because I access the shard on 3 separate computers (because of school). Does it have to do with my account? Was there a change to the system that I'm just unaware of?
  18. "Woah, is this one of your contraptions?!" Aki asked Nick, a little panicked. He regretted spacing off the last few minutes.
  19. What's EPIC? Is that that weird movie about the fairies in the woods? The one with the slugs? Or are you talking about something else? What was that dear?
  20. Welcome to the Shard!! Do you like bagels? (if so, what kind??) What's your favorite book of all time? (Pssst just ignore the cookie)

  23. I swear they'll never admit it but the Tolkien fandom can be so toxic sometimes good grief

    Spoiler

    ITS JUST AN ANIME MOVIE ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD GO READ THE BOOKS AND CRY FOR ALL I CARE THEY'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE LET US NEW AUDIENCES ENJOY SOMETHING COOL ON THE SCREEN

    Spoiler

    a lot of people are complaining that they've made the protag a badass female princess instead of focusing on her dad who's a preexisting character but like

    Haleth exists?

    Luthien exists?

    Eowyn exisits (and I think this character is more then likely based ON her)???

    Spoiler

    and I get that we're all a little sour about Rop, but the way I see, if it's bad it'll be fun to laugh at and I can at least enjoy the aesthetic, and if it's good then it's good!

     

     

    anyway

      Yeah, I'd heard the director was famous. Another reason not to jump the gun on calling it trash.

      I don't know if I'll see it in theaters but it would be cool!

      And also, Helm did in fact have a daughter. She's just never named, iirc. So she's not an invented character. There's also not a huge amount of information to go on anyway, so they have to make some stuff up.

      Oh, that's nice to know! I'll admit don't know much of the lore outside lotr and silmarillion shenanigans.

  24. update number 198302934 on the stat situation

    . . . 

    my counselor convinced me I should try to take it, and I agree (despite my whole rant earlier)

    The college will let me wait to drop out for a few more weeks, so I'm going to try and do it. I really want to improve myself and do something worthwhile with me time, even if it's hard.

    How am I feeling? Okay. I'm okay. I want this to work. I'm gonna make it work.

    (despite my whole rant this morning)

    Thanks for being so supportive the past little while as I've freaked out about it.

    Love you ❤️
