[rab1es]

Username: rab1es ✜ Kalon name: decay
Prompt:

they told me not to go after you
but truth be told, i thought you were pitiful
always alone, always quiet
i thought you wanted a friend.

the first time it happened,
it had to had been an accident
blood stained my clothes, the sky was dark
but the look on your face told me this had happened before.

i asked why you thought it was funny
to see the blood and pain around you
but you wrapped your arm around my shoulders
and told me, "it'll be okay."

when the others found out what you done
they told me to give you up,
to open my eyes and come to my senses,
and that there was a reason you were alone.

i didn't want to lose faith in you yet
and so i went along and did what i always did
trailing along and hoping that what you said was true:
"it'll be okay."

i guess i should've expected it
that day when the sky turned red
and the world around me shattered and bled,
and you could feel my blood on your hands.

even though you thought it was funny before,
i could tell that there was real guilt in your eyes
and when i realized that it was suddenly harder to move,
harder to breathe, and harder to stay awake,
i began to panic.

the world started to darken and blur
my heart beat rapidly against my chest
i couldn't see much around me anymore
except for that look on your face.

i guess i should've listened to the others,
when they said all you did was kill and decay,
but the last promise that came from your mouth
were the words "it will be okay."

Prompt:

"I think that's a fantastic idea."
"You're the smartest, boss!"
"Gosh, we sure think alike, I was just about to say the same thing!"

Fenix turned to Lackey in disgust. Lackey did not care. He knew the kind of world he lived in. He was a third mate on a pirate ship, and his captain was an egotistical idiot who was all to happy to dump insubordinate crew members on deserted islands. He was in this to survive, there was no way out for him. So he lied and lied and lied.

[Ki-Mono]

Username: Ki-Mono
Kalon name: Colada
Prompt:
Colada has been lying since the day he learned how to speak. First, it was little things, like "no mommy, I did not break your favorite vase". Which later turned into bigger things, such as, "yes this belongs to me, I did not steal it" and "of course my parents know I'm here".
Running away from home came easily to the little liar. He always had an excuse for why he was alone and was pretty street-smart on how to get out of bad situations. Getting jobs and buying liquor is a piece of cake if you can act older then your age. To be honest, though, stealing was just so much easier.
Starting to envy the sailors at the dock, Colada knew it was time to sneak upon a ship for the next grand adventure. Hiding in a barrel was simple, but after getting caught; coming up with a feasible story was a little harder. Not impossible though. Somehow he was able to convince everyone he was the cook's apprentice. He still isn't sure how he pulled it off.
When the ship was ambushed by pirates, Colada was the first to turn. Helping out his new pirate friends to find the "good stuff" in exchange for his life. It's sad his old crew never saw it coming. He did feel kinda bad about the situation, but it's a dog-eat-dog world he tried to convince himself.
Colada did find that the pirate life suited him so much better than all the other odd jobs he'd worked before. But something was still nagging at him. Being bossed around by all the crew higher ranked than he. He didn't like it, not one bit. He knew he had to be crafty about it though. Calculating a mutiny that would end in his favor was no simple task. Whole lotta butt-kissing and fake personas got to go into it. First, you do chores for the lower men, whispering thoughts of discontentment into their ears. Then you befriend the higher-ups with bright ideas and clever compliments. And last but not least, a way to get rid of o' Captain.
Colada thought about doing it the old fashion way, swords swinging. But that just wasn't his style. Nah, poisoning him and getting everyone to believe you he chocked was much more his comfort zone.
Yeah, the fight came afterward when everyone was decided who to be the new Caption, and it inevitably came down to just him and one other bloke.
As he watched the waves ripple in the night sea-air; Colada couldn't help but think of all the little lies that built up to this point in his life. "Caption of my own ship, and most feared on the seas... heh.... look at me now mom. You ain't proud, but I sure am"

Kalon name: ligeia (the name of a siren from greek mythology)
Prompt: ligeia was found ashore of terrina in bruttium after a long day at sea, where she had spent her hours charming the naive young men who sailed past her cove. she was the queen of the sirens--the beautiful [kalons] who charmed young sailors with their mystical voices, drawing them into their cove only to capture their souls. ligeia's eyes fluttered as she awoke to her new surroundings. she attempted to sit up, only to be brought down by the chains which held her.
no! the voice in her head screamed. what have you done?
"at last," a husky voice emerged from the shadows which threatened to consume her. "ligeia of the sirens finally at my feet."
"what do you want, mileous?" ligeia choked, fighting against the metal which held her to the ground.
mileous chuckled, strolling towards ligeia who laid helplessly on the sand. "i want your powers, of course."
"i gave them to nifessa." ligeia tilted her chin, attempting to conceal the lie which she let spill from her lips.
mileous snarled with disgust. "the apprentice?"
"you heard me."
the goblin proceeded to shake his head with disgust.
"you will show me where that she-fish is right away!" he ordered, "or else i'll seize your entire cove."
ligeia swallowed hard. was protecting her powers as guardian of the siren cove really worth the risk of losing her sisters?
the siren queen swallowed hard. who knew a lie could have so many consequences?

name. Seraphine "burning ones"
gender. female
prompt. lie they told






xxxxxxxxxxx─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: * Where there is smoke there is fire. * :☆ﾟ. ───

Seraphine had never been one to tell a lie. She took pride in the fact that she was always completely honest, no matter how rude or out of place it was. She despised liars and anything that had to do with them, whether they be close friends or family members.

Seraphine was born into a noble family that resided in a small kingdom on the outskirts of her country. Growing up, her family always preached honesty and trustworthiness, two traits she adopted herself as she grew older. Though, as time passed, she realized just how unhappy she was living there, yet refused to tell anyone that for fear of hurting their feelings. The young woman never told a lie, except when people would ask about her true feelings.

She would sit on the front porch of their home every morning, staring off into the distance and dreaming of one day being able to go off on her own and explore the world. Every day without fail, her mother would sit with her outside and ask her the same question: "Are you ok?" and every day Seraphine would give her the same answer: "I'm fine." Her mother could tell that she wasn't really fine, but Seraphine refused to say otherwise, for fear of hurting her dear mother's feelings. Instead of running off to follow her dreams, she remained behind to help her widowed mother take care of her siblings. While she wasn't happy in the life she chose, her moral compass left her stuck in place, with no sign of giving in.

Prompt:

[229 words]
"Far be it from me to tell you what to do," I started, staring at the mess on Silas' desk, "But have you tried looking underneath?"

Silas had misplaced their Very Important Stone (their fascination with it was beyond me) and was turning their workspace upside-down to find it. Scraps of wood, little shinies, rubber bands, and all manner of other interesting things had been poured out of drawers and jars. They feverishly pawed through the mess, eyes searching for the stone. I thought it was all a bit silly.

"Of course I looked underneath," they said sharply. Their mouth was pressed in a thin line, the human signal for "I'm trying hard to not speak", probably because they would say something mean. I appreciated their control. Feeling as though I wasn't able to help, I flopped down on the floor and began to wash my paws. I wasn't one to meddle in the affairs of wizards, but sometimes Silas was just too easy to rile up.

"Goji, are you sure you haven't seen it?" they asked, voice pitched almost an octave higher than normal.

"Nope," I lied.

I'd give it back to them later, but this was too good of a joke not to pull. I smiled secretly to myself. Maybe this would even prompt Silas to clean up their work room. See, I was doing good. ;3

Kalon name: Fawx
Prompt:
Like flowing water the sweet lies tumbled from his lips. They came out almost like a pray, devout and truthful, but in no way were the words real. The words that spilled from his lips, perhaps he even felt they were the truth. Because after you lie once, it becomes easier and easier to say another. After some time, the lies you speak become the truth, even you who speak the lies are unsure if they are lies anymore.

Fawx knew he was lying, but every deceptive word that he spoke, he could not help but convince himself, perhaps it is the truth. But a lie is a lie. A seed that is planted, it slowly turns black, breaking from the soil is not a beautiful flower, but rather twisted vines with thorns that strangle the plants around. You try to turn the thorns white, dig out the twisted vines, but all is futile, you have fed it too much. He had fed the seed and it had grown far too much, but he did not care, because for him, for those whom he speaks the sweet lies to, are now the truth, forever and always.

Username: Broccoli_Bento
Kalon name: Serena Swan
Prompt:

Swan with a fellow pirate snuck off a Spanish trade ship that just came into port.
The two waltzed down the docks undetected by the captain and crew, but a couple of soldiers guarding the docks saw the two and stopped the suspicious duo.
"What business might you have in thid port?".
Swan looked back at her partner and sighed with a smile,
"I tell you, this happens every time".
The guards continued to look at them suspiciously.
"Alright then, I'm Miss Swan and this is my sister Jacob".
Jacob who is clearly not, tipped his hat to the guards.
"Alright missy, no lies! What's your business here?"
"No lies eh? Okay, my name is Captain Serena Swan, and I am a swashbuckling pirate.
I'm here because I have roughly three days to commandeer one of your navy's ships, hire a crew willing to live a life a piracy, enamoure the governor's son and deceive him into sailing away on a romantic adventure, collect enough supplies to make it to Jamaica, and make it out of the harbor mostly undetected with said stolen supplies and stolen prince on a stolen ship, all to beat the famous pirate Blackish Beard to the hidden treasure in Bermuda, by traveling
through the cursed triangle".
One of the guards became fluster with Swan.
"I think she's telling the truth..."
"She's not telling the truth. Why would someone confess to such things?"
"Unless I knew you would think it was a lie if I told it to you".
During this whole shenanigans Jacob made an escape, allowing him to distract the guards from their attention on Swan.
Allowing her to sneak away and follow through with her plans.
Once the duo was far enough away they hid behind some barrels.
"I'm your "sister?", was that the best lie you could give them?"
