Adventure is Out There!: An Amazing Digital Circus RP

PATCH

Safely under the sofa, Patch leans over with her hands on her knees to catch her breath. She smiles, suddenly exhilarated with the thrill of the adventure. How good it felt to run! Patch peeks out around a leg of the sofa as the booming sounds get louder. She soon feels herself bounce into the air just a bit as two enormous pairs of shoes scamper by along with the same childish giggles. She thinks to peek out more to catch a glimpse of the giant toddlers, but remembers the others and pulls her head back around the sofa leg.

"I'm okay," she says in response to Snix, though avoiding eye contact by scanning the group. Everyone seems to have made it in one piece. They could handle a tiring sprint, she thinks. Then her animated gaze falls upon the suited fox.

"Hi," Patch says with a short wave. "You got here in the middle of...well, an adventure. And we probably won't have time to sit and chat, so we might need to explain things on the way. I'm Patch, and there's Clover, Pomni, Gangle, Ragatha, and Snix. We have three more friends but they went a different direction." Patch points at everyone as she says their names. "Long story short, you're kind of in a video game. Kind of a forever video game. And right now we're trying to get big again. We were shrunken, and it looks like you were too!" Patch looks back at the rest of the group. "So, what's the plan? I bet getting big again will somehow involve those two babies. They, um..." Patch thinks for a moment, then points toward Ragatha. "Their shoes kind of looked like yours, Ragatha!"

Damien blinked, watching in awe as each sprout delicately unfurled before his eyes. In moments, he was surrounded by greens, oranges, and purples. A tension within him he did not know he was holding had released. The chains around him were gone, as if they had never been there. The remaining thick vines at the barrier were nothing more than a fleeting thought while Damien took in his changing environment.

As he breathed, it felt like the plants were breathing along with him. Damien closed his eyes for a moment and drank in the stillness, then looked up at the moth. He wasn't sure what he was meant to be ready for, but he felt ready just the same.

When he reached out for the moth's hand, that familiar voice broke through the calm.

"No."

Damien pulled his hand back and whipped around, searching for the demon. The piercing sound of the ringing phones and frantic typing resurfaced as Viné's claws ripped through the foliage. Damien glanced back momentarily at the moth as his nervous system threatened a prey response. He searched the shadows for the lion's face, but found nothing yet.

He expected the flashbacks, but nothing came. Instead, he felt a desperate urge to protect the garden. His garden. An urge to protect his peace. A small purple flame danced in his left hand. He didn't remember conjuring it. He thought about distinguishing it. His magic was nothing compared to Viné's. For some reason unbeknownst to him, however, he let it burn.

I am also bad at Among Us 😂

The only character @EmberdoodlZ had was Riff. I’m thinking they can just disappear in this adventure and can return if they come back.

The renewed tension subsided a bit as Damien realized he was still safe, still held. "Maybe," he said quietly. The chains lay in a pile around him on the floor. Now, he was just sitting in the middle of them. He picked one of them up in his hand, stared at it for a moment, and then set it back down. The frantic typing sounds continued in the distance. I need a break, he thought.

I feel like the only reason why I can usually tell is from working with kids every day 😅

BUT an amazingly good writer as a child would definitely fly under the radar haha

I think it’s easier to tell when someone is a child, like still in elementary or even early middle school. Like the writing style and sometimes the way they interact will give it away. But sometimes they’ll still say they’re an adult and there’s not much else you can do. When an older kid or teen is a decent writer (or when someone is an adult learning the language or just doesn’t have the writing skills yet), it gets harder to tell.

I think 18-21 and up to 25 is a lot harder to tell, but maybe someone a couple of decades older might be able to sus out the vibe better!
