Storytellers discussion

We shall plan secret writing stuff here!

What story should we work on? We can search for prompts

Good! I have some prompts under the prompts folder so I will just look around

Here are some I found:
Lilies of the Valley As the new housekeeper for a prominent wealthy family, one of your tasks is to water all of the house plants. You are watering the lilies in the entry way when one of the plants starts talking to warn you of a dark family secret.
BirthrightYour whole life you have been educated as a royal of the court. Now you have discovered your lineage isn’t what everyone thought. Will you try to preserve your station by removing any evidence. or embrace your new life as a wandering commoner?
Twins at OddsYou and your twin princess find each other on opposite sides of the law. You don’t always get along, but when the king tells you to help set a trap for her — leading to her execution — you’re determined to find a way to help her instead.

I am fine with all so you can choose.

HMmm. It's hard to choose.

Maybe Lilies of the Valley then?

We can start thinking about the plot now.

Hmmm. Maybe with the housekeeper being brought to the fancy house?

We can start writing. Where should we write it?

Cool! I can make one, I just need your email to share it with you

I sent it to you, did you receive it?

Nice! We can write for a bit. I have to go in 15 minutes for a shower and then I am free for the next two hours.

Ahhh. Female. Guess I was rushing it. We should make the template or something about the character first.

I did part of a chapter. I wrote it on paper and I am trying to type it down right now..

No, it's fine. I didn't do A LOT either. Just writing during class cuz I was too bored.

Oh, sorry about it. I made it but I still need to find the paper and type it down. Probably going to post here tomorrow.

You're not, don't worry. ANd night night!

What I done so far:

I stepped onto the paved road, with tears streaming down my face. Mother, Grace and Father, waving at me. After a lot of avoiding, I was still sold to the Duncan’s family as a gardener. My family is poor, only managing to find food to eat every day and nothing more. I was destined to marry into a richer family, to find a better husband for Grace, who is 3 years younger than me, and a good job for my two brothers. Unfortunately for us, Baron Duncan ordered for more taxes and my family couldn’t pay up. Now, I have to work in his house to earn money to pay the tax.

The man with a black and white uniform stood by my side as I tearfully waves my family goodbye. On the side of the road was shiny car, waiting.

It didn’t take long to drive from our old cottage to the grand mansion of the Duncan family. The Duncan family have been Barons for centuries, ruling this part of the lands. All the citizens have to pay 100 gold to keep a government that they don’t need running. Since Mom and Dad couldn’t pay up, I, as the oldest, would have to go work for them.

I stepped out of the car, looking around in awe. The mansion looked bigger than the glances I took far away. The chauffeur led me inside into the entrance of Duncan Place. I couldn’t help but gasp. On the two sides of the front, identical stairs wrapped the wall, leading to the next floor upstairs. A large chandelier hung over the entrance, illuminating the path from the doors to the throne room behind the stairs.

Another man in similar uniform came out from the shadows, approaching me. “Your uniform and your belongings will be delivered to your quarters. Ana here will take you on a tour around the house.” The man must be the butler. He gestured to a young girl about my age.

As she led me away, she whispered to me. “Life isn’t easy here, you have to earn your stay. But Lord Duncan is fair and we will take good care of you.” I have a feeling that she went through a lot to say that. She managed a weak smile as I studied her uniform.

A green, tattered overall with a white shirt inside and a pair of gardener gloves. It was covered in dirt, so I guessed that she was a gardener like me.

She showed me around the mansion, opening doors to the libraries, courts, and offices. All the quarters, including mine, are located in the East Wing. My room was at the end of the corridors, she pushed open the door. In the middle of the tidy room was a small bed, next to it was a wardrobe and a dresser. The whole room was painted white. Neat and small, my style. On the bed was a uniform like hers, but new.

Ana left the room for me to change, which I did. The uniform was a little too big, I presumed the one I was wearing was probably the smallest they have already.

The rest:

My family couldn’t afford food to fatten me.

Ana led me around the corridors of the mansion, left, right, straight, sharp turn. It was like the hallways of Duncan Place was meant to make people get lost.

As we turned a sharp right, a woman about 50 years old, with silk and jewelry that commoners can’t afford, entered our sight. She wore a green dress of silk, her raven hair cascading down to her waist. She was a beauty, only wore down with wrinkles and a blank look.

Before I could get a better look, Ana pulled me behind a pillar, motioning for me to keep quiet. The woman must have not seen us as she glided right before us and turned into another corridor.

“The Lady doesn’t like people. She gets emotional easily and some say that she is possessed.” With a confused nod, I continued down the windy corridors until we reached a door.

It took a moment to adjust from the dark gloomy house to the bright, almost blinding sunlight. At least I will be working here, I thought as I observed my surroundings. The garden was an astonishing sight. In the center of the huge garden was a maze with neatly trimmed hedges. All around the garden were beautiful statues made with plants. Rare plants and flowers were spotted in specially structured places. It was beautifully manicured.

It didn’t take long for me to be introduced to the different sections of the garden, my role and the tools. After that, they left me to explore the garden by myself.

I walked aimlessly, walking among the flowers and plants, taking deep breaths in. My eyes landed on a light blue flower, with green leaves and light blue petals. I couldn’t help but stop to admire the gorgeously dreamy flower. I had to crouch down and smell the flower, savouring the sweet honey scent. I dropped into a trance, my mind a foggy mess.

You are not. Chill. I am just working too hard. Lol!

Then your turn! You can continue

Fam's dark secret..... Maybe they were corrupted, like they were bribed. Or something like that.

Can you do the next part then?

It’s fine
