Hey guys! @SupernaturalSyGuyWantsACappuccino posted this prompt in the roleplay announcement thing and said I can use it :0

For once, I'm not gonna play the smol soft twink (well I mean, my character is still kinda a softie but that's besides the point)
What I'm saying is, I would like to be the prince considering I already have a good character for him. Anyways, RULES
1) I have the right to deny anyone, for any reason
2) No overpowered characters >:0
3) Please be able to like, consistently write decent English? I don't expect you to never make a typo or the occasional grammar mistake, but keep it adequate and consistent. You can go ahead and bring a writing sample if you feel inclined
4) Swearing is fine, but steer away from slurs. My character doesn't swear much because of his upbringing, but I don't mind if yours does
5) PLEASE BE AT LEAST SOMEWHAT ACTIVE
6) By all means, ask questions! If you don't understand something I just said, ask! Got an idea for where the plot could go? Tell me! I tend to go into things without too many set plot ideas, so everything is welcome
7) Keep in mind that I'm liable to injure my character multiple times. I just… uh… I kinda just do that a lot. Bear with me lol
8) I reserve the right to add to this list or change it
Uhhh I'll post a temp once someone is interested
(Ooo I'd love to join you :00)
(Alrighty lol, would you mind posting a writing sample Kie?)
(I'm already looking forward to what y'all come up with! You're welcome! I might jump in as the king or something at some point….)
(Here's Lux. He has four quadruplet boys named Adir, Solomon, Asher, and Sheba.)
(Nice. The character I'm planning on using is Lloyd, and he has one younger brother)
(Considering you and Sy already have plans, I'll be dropping out. I think it'd be best for you two to do this together! :))
(Sy was just wanting to stalk since they found the idea, you're still welcome to join!)
(@Kie Nah, you can go ahead as planned; I planned on stalking, however I might pop in with Lux…. He's a king, and I haven't used him in a long time.)
(I messaged Kie and told her she can still participate in this; she's gonna write something up as a sample first though.)
(I tried to write a sample that pertains to the context of the RP idea: How long had it been since River had started leaving the prince roses? He couldn't quite remember, but surely somebody had found the fact that the fresh flowers were always roses to be odd. If he were to be found out, he could be exiled or jailed, and River wasn't sure which was worse. The prince's guard certainly wouldn't try to defend River's actions, as he was too much of a self-preserving coward to admit to assisting him.)
(Should we go ahead and start?)
(I'll write a starter then, give me a sec)
Lloyd examined the fresh flowers in his room with a sigh. He wasn't sure where they were coming from, but he kept tending to them anyways. Soon, he was called out of his room by his father.
"Yes, father?" He asked, already knowing why he was here. The king gestured for him to sit down beside him, and Lloyd obeyed.
"I've brought more suitors for you to choose from." Lloyd sighed.
"Father, I really don't want to marry right now… I'm only eighteen."
"Nonsense. I'll be retiring soon and you need to be wed." Lloyd ran his fingers through his hair and nodded reluctantly. A line of suitors, both men and women, were brought into the room. Lloyd kept quiet and politely allowed the meetings to happen, but he had no interest in any of them. Eventually, he was allowed to leave, so he returned to his room and went out on the balcony, which overlooked the gardens.
River swiped the back of his hand across his forehead and readjusted his sunhat. Today a shipment of Sunsprite roses had arrived, and it was River's job to plant them all. It was rough, repetitive work. So far, he was only halfway through planting and he'd already counted 27 assorted pricks and scratches from the thorns.
"River? I brought you lemonade."
River jumped at the approach of a certain kitchenmaid who he knew by the name Lily (she'd fallen into freshly planted lilies on her first day). He was silent as she handed him a glass and leaned down to whisper to him. "Have you even realized that the prince is out on his balcony?"
"No! I'm an admirer, not a stalker!" he whispered back, a bright blush crossing his face as he turned to look up at the prince. "Besides, what does that matter?"
Lloyd yawned and ran his fingers through his blonde hair. He had his elbows resting on the railing to support himself. He glanced down into the gardens and waved to River when he noticed him looking up at the balcony. He was a bit too high up for talking to be effective, so waving would have to suffice.
He occasionally watched River when he wasn't looking as well. River was one of the few people he actually found attractive, though he couldn't admit it, of course. It wasn't like they could ever be together. He looked back up at the sky and hummed something softly to himself.
(I forgot to mention that Lloyd is usually an angel :0 (kinda important lmao I thought I'd already mentioned it) is that okay with you?)
(That's perfectly fine.)
River returned Lloyd's wave, then shooed Lily away. He had planned to finish before lunch, and if he was going to stick to that plan he had to increase the pace at which he worked. Slowly, River stood up to brush the dirt off his pants and stretch. The next 30 minutes were going to be difficult, but if he was successful in planting the rest of the roses, he'd be able to add 20 minutes to his lunch break.
(Cool lol)
Lloyd watched for a couple minutes, noticing that River was rushing himself. He frowned a bit and stretched out his wings, hopping off the balcony to glide down to the gardens. "What's the hurry for, River?" He asked, cocking his head slightly to the side in confusion. He flirted his wings once to settle the feathers before folding them tightly against his back.
"If I finish this quickly enough, I'll get extra time for lunch, and maybe even the rest of the day off, assuming I've not any duties for after lunch," River replied, not even sparing the prince a glance as he worked. His face was covered in dirt, and he'd die before letting the prince see him looking so unruly.
Lloyd hummed softly as he watched River for a few more seconds. "May I help you?" He asked, cocking his head the other way a bit. He stepped a bit closer to see what River was doing more closely. It intrigued him considering that he never did this type of work.
River's shoulders hiked up towards his face as he felt Lloyd come closer. "Your Highness, no offense, but I don't believe you're suited for this type of work, not to mention the king would have my head," he replied, giving a slightly nervous chuckle as he spoke.
