....I'm sorry to ask this but would here be anyone who is willing to write a story with me? It doesn't have to be long; I just want someone's opinion on something.

[Because he needs to go out and befriend people, right? All he hoped was that he could just keep it through text!]

I'd love to, Freminet.

Can't say it's something I've ever tried before. But if an amatuer's eyes will do I'm happy to put them on whatever you need thoughts on.

[seasaltkeys]

I mean, I've never written a story before, but I could try?

[scooba]

...You promise you won't laugh when I say the story is about a turtle and his penguin knight as they travel to fight a mysterious monster?

That lurks in a cave that might grant a person a wish?

[scooba]

.....

You think you can tell me what else I should add to a story about animals trying to fight a mysterious creature in a cave?

Especially when it might grant them a wish?

[scooba]

Um...

What do you think I should do to make a story more interesting? Especially when there might be some fighting involved? And a wish too.

[empyrean_mirror]

Of course I won't laugh.

But I'm curious--is the monster guarding that wish-granting power?

[andstill]

Oh, animals? This might be in my wheelhouse after all.

What are they wishing for?

[scooba]

That's what I'm having trouble with.

I'm not sure what they should wish for.

[scooba]

Yes, they are but they are also wishing for more.

Perhaps a meaning in their life...

[empyrean_mirror]

If that miracle cannot grant them their wish, perhaps it's the knight who can?

[andstill]

Hm.

Maybe they did something wrong, and they're looking for a way to fix it. There's a lot of people wish for second chances.

[scooba]

Perhaps but the knight would have to prove himself worthy to the creature. Will he pass the test, or will he fail?

[scooba]

What would they have done to deserve a second chance?

Perhaps....they did something terrible and unforgiveable that makes them go to such great lengths to obtain a wish.

[andstill]

Maybe.

Maybe they thought they were doing the right thing. Helping people. But they didn't have all the information, and they just made everything worse. Maybe that's why they think they need to do this, it's the only way they can see to still do right by everyone.

[ This is not autobiographical at all why would you ask. ]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

A story? Sure why not? What kind of story do you want?

[scooba]

...

I'm sorry, it sounds like you know from experience. I didn't mean to bring that up.

[Not like that he knows what it is like either. Of course not.]

[scooba]

A fantasy but with some kind of mystery and some magic involved too.

...Or is that a little too childish?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Why would that be childish? That sounds awesome!

So we need a hero in the story. Someone people can root for and look up to. Maybe someone who wants to be a knight? What do you think?

[scooba]

I was thinking of having a turtle and his penguin companion with him.

Oh and the penguin happens to be a knight to take down a creature in a cave that could fulfill the wish of anyone.

[andstill]

Ah, don't worry. I'm the one who brought it up. Guess it's easier to think about these things, when it's about animals and not about yourself.

Tell me about the animals, hmm?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Whoa it can fulfill anyone's wish? Why would the penguin knight want to defeat that creature? Was someone gonna use it for evil?

[seasaltkeys]

[Even though he has more or less lived both of those things, Roxas has to think for a moment, if only to find the right words.]

What kind of a wish? A big one?

You could make the fights really big to?

[scooba]

Uh...the turtle is a very wise and patient animal. But the penguin is a rather anxious one as he is often worried about making the wrong decisions.

Like now, he isn't sure if they should go and fight the creature...

[scooba]

I could.

However, would it be appropriate to when it involves animals and a creature they have to fight to get the wish?
