Hello

Hi there friends. My name is Hayley, or you can call me Hal. I'm new here (obviously). But I am happy to have received an invitation. 
I'm not good at introductions. So... why don't you tell me something about yourself?

Welcome to the parade! 
Something about me, hmm... I'm obsessed with victorian macabre and my favorite band is marianas trench uh I identify wholeheartedly with both a kraken and a wasp bc at any given time I am smol and angery but also gross and misunderstood

Soul mate..? Is that you?
Marianas Trench give me out of body experiences daily, if I must be honest.
I also really enjoy the Victorian era!! Historical fiction is my calling. Science Fiction and the occasional supernatural story is also good. I admittedly still dwell with animals, but only if its on the darker side of things most of the time. Love me some Plague Dogs.
Anywho. It's nice to meet you! Thank you for the welcome, Kleo.

Marianas Trench is my heart, my soul, my life, everything I have ever wished to achieve in this life and moooore.
Dude Historical is pretty much all I do. But demented animals? Let's get us some Felidae and Watership Down up in this mess.
And you have IGUANAS?? Lord how can you handle plural iguanas my one demands constant attention (but I love him)

The first time I heard them live, I nearly had a heart attack. Astoria has been the best album yet.
Felidae is literally my jam. Watership Down is great, too. Historical is my home, though. 
Damn Pirates of the Caribbean and all that is has done to me.
YES. Plural. I've had a multitude of scaly things in my lifetime. I have leopard geckos, iguanas, two dogs, and a snake. I also have an overflowing salt water fish tank. 
THAT was a pain to get correct, lemme tell ya.

EYYY Ive seen them live three times and lemme tell ya in case u didnt know Mike is actually the sweetest sentient being on this planet, just sayin
PIRATES YOU SAY?
a blackened piece of kleo's soul suddenly emerges from the depths
I have a pirate novel and far too many illustrations

He gave me a hug and I definitely did not squeeze his butt.
GIRL I DID SAY.
Hm wow strange same. I write about them all the time what a coincidence.
*a piece of Hal rises from the abyss and stares through the murky fog, wondering to itself, dare I approach?*

Eheh my friend couldnt make it to one of the shows so I waited until most people were gone and ask if he could just say hi real quick for a video and he was like WH- GIVE ME THAT and he took like a hella long video telling her she needs to get to one of the shows eheheh
... I feel something important happening
a bunch of my friends, including astorea, share an 18th century universe and intertwine our characters together... I demand to know more about yoursuh

Ugh he is just the sweetest thing on the entire face of the planet. There's no one else on this earth that I would want to devote my heart too. Guess I'll die alone then.
heheh trust me I already made to chapter three of Swindle today.
Well. Long story short. The main character grew up with a mum that wasn't always right and when she was ten he passed away in a tragic accident. Her mother used her to try and revive him from the ashes and branded the symbol of a phoenix on her chest. Katia escaped but didn't make it far until a dude that owned a tavern found her. He took her in for a while but when his brother comes to visit she's like 'Oh snap ur cool" and sneaks out and boards his ship. So, of course when they find a brat kid they're like GTFOff our ship. But the captain's wife is like
Um she has the symbol branded on her chest.
Because guess what they're looking for - the phoenix stone, which is rumored to grant immortality. With the stone they could go after their rivals -- the people that killed the captain, (the sister's bro).
So fast forward when shes like 22 and doing pirate sort things and she comes across a weird lookin' map that's pretty much blank. But when she touches it her scar burns like hell fire and she sees a map laid out in her head.
So, long story short. She's connected to the stone and the key to finding it && now everybody and their brother wants that damn rock

oh my god yessssss its like a female Vin but more badaaaaasssss
Thats so weird that you have a stone toooo IM ALREADY SEEING THE CONNECTIONS THAT COULD BE MADE BETWEEN OUR STORIES SCREAMING
