Roleplay Shorts
Short stories written about my roleplay characters, with the main intention of sharing with my DND group. Some context may be missing from these for readers who are not familiar with the characters, though in my opinion they are still rather fun to read! Most of these characters are from homebrew campaigns.
Bucket List
A stand alone short featuring my roleplay character, Maggie Gryphon, during her childhood.
Maggie is not allowed outside; for her own safety. But with some goading from several of the other orphans she’s convinced to break the rules and go play at the river.
Contains descriptions of child abuse and drowning. Reader discretion advised.
Shadow Oaks
Short stories written for the DND homebrew, Shadow Oaks. These shorts get their own section because there are so many of them! The world of Shadow Oaks is owned by TheStalkerBunny on tumblr. I recommend reading more about it HERE.

Becky’s Presentation

For the full effect, imagine a poor girl standing SO STIFF, hyperventilating, halfway to tears, reading this out while everyone is just looking at her with deep concern.
The Ward
Rebecca Bloom can’t forget that terrible night. It was the worst night of her life. Worse than her breakup. Worse than when she was attacked by that dog— Worse than her mother’s death. It haunts her.

(Not a) Callout
Though recovery is a vital part of moving on in life, it has its ups and downs. Many of these downs are unavoidable… Though, as Becky Bloom is going to discover, many could be easily prevented by running things by a friend before posting them online. What started out as a brief apology for a misplaced comment and an explaination for her sudden long disappearance from social media turned into a ramble about her ex-girlfriend.

And sometimes, its as easy as being bored.

Angry. Hurt. Scared.

Now, she’s come home with Jareth, and is settling down for the night with him.
Waking Up in a Bush
Becky’s idea to take her dad to the music festival to bond did not go as planned…. It had started out fun; but then it had all gone south when the festival had been attacked by a crazed bard with a magic guitar.

And now, she’s waking up in the bush she passed out it, exhausted but relieved that things didn’t go too wrong….
Walk in the Woods

Speak with Mimi

And then, as suddenly as she’d been able to do it, she’d lost it again…. But, even after losing the sudden burst of magical energy, Becky knows what the mimic said will never leave her heart.
Bloom
After hearing her pet mimic talk to her, Becky Bloom consulted her therapist and friends over what they thought might have happened. The consensus was a simple one; she wasn’t crazy, but had been unknowingly using magic. Probably some sort of druidry. It was a shock, at first, but Becky is quick to embrace the idea. Anything that can bring her closer to Mimi is a gift that she isn’t going to waste…. So, now, she is going to try and practice her magic in what she thinks is the privacy of her own room.

Don Flamingle
A new mimic has come into Becky Bloom’s life; a small feral lawn flamingo mimic that her family has nicknamed Don Flamingle. It is a surprisingly friendly creature that has quickly fallen in love with Becky’s treasured Mimi, and though Becky can’t let it into the house due to its neurotic nature she feels some form of responsibility over it and allows it to follow her (and Mimi) to the local pet shop to buy some new beds.
