Roleplaying

Archer looked at Ronu with a small smile on his face. "This place is magical, but that magic just came from you." he said his emerald eyes twinkling with pride for the fact that someone so young was mastering their powers so early. "You must be a Cancer." Archer said after thinking a moment. Ronu gave him an alarmed look and he realized that she didn't understand Zodiacs yet. "That means your birthday is between June 22 and July 23." Archer said with a slight nod, "Is that correct?" he asked Ronu.

(Sorry this post is all Blah but I was tryin to make this more wordy, I HATE this 100 words thing)

Elyon looked at Delta then laughed, "From the Beast you just killed ovbiously." she said shaking her head. "And yes like the Zodiac, follow me and I'll explain everything." she said before striding off into the forest. After walking a little ways away Elyon turned back around to see Delta still staring at the dagger in shock. "You coming?" she asked her eyebrows raised. "Unless you want the Beasts to come getcha!" she said with a laugh as she held her hands out like claws and bared her teeth pretending to be a Beast, slightly teasing Delta.

(G'rath you can post with them getting to Camp and Elyon explaining to her)

Leo was laying in a tree minding his own odd business when he heard something. He pricked up his ears and placed one of his paws on the tree trunk to try and feel vibrations. Lucky for him his heightened senses and the fact that he was in leopard form, his echo vision could make out the shape of a female human standing below him. "Hi!" he said cheerily but it came out as a growl. Leo jumped down from the tree and landed infront of the girl. After a minute and some sparkly air Leo stood infront of the girl as a human with no shoes no shirt shaggy hair and a crazy smile plastered on his face. He waved and said "Hi! I'm Leo!"

Ronu blinked a couple of times while Archer explained. She then looked at her leg and scabby cut then back at Archer. She nodded. "My birthday is July 2nd. Cancer caused this?" Suddenly she was scared. "I have cancer!? Will I die?" How can cancer be magical? How could he be smiling? Cancer is bad! Isnt it? This doesnt make any sence! She thought franticly. He must be joking, right? Why else would he be smiling?

(To many words to think up.....sooo....who likes lunch!? I do! I like pizza and spigetti! La la la la la la la la la la la laaa!!! XD) 

Delta, having snapped out of her trance, flashed the other girl a smile. "Awwww! The Beast is gonna get me for revenge! " she exclaimed, dashing off into the woods. ........... After having walked the rest of the way, Delta found herself stepping into a small camp. She looked around the place. High, stone cliffs lined the outside. Delta realised that this must be one of the only exits and entrances to the camp. She figured that it was better this way so that intruders would be easily seen and targeted. Delta realised that she had said her thoughts outloud. She blinked, trying to think of a way to cover up her sudden rambling.

 Eridan walked through the forest in silence. His black shirt was stained with the blood of his family, since he barely escaped when they were killed by a horde of weird monsters. All of this confused him. His black hair stuck to his face by sweat, his amber-brown eyes looked tired. All he wanted was some sort of shelter, then he could try to find a water source and a food source. He sighed. His legs ached, he needed to rest. He sat down in a cluster of ferns, rolling up his sleeve to look at the stinging scratches the monsters left him with, just glancing at his purple Aquarius tattoo that he bought before all of this madness.

Joanne gasped at Leo. She stepped back a few feet before responding, "I'm Joanne," She said. Then Joanne frozed. She knew that she couldn't really trust anybody, She knew that her lord let her stay on earth for another 100 years or so, and she didn't know what is coming for her. Joanne tackled Leo, and said, "Where do you come from? What are you doing out here?" Joanne took out her pocket knife and held in her hand firlmy. "No living human like you could ever turn into a leopard!" Joanne said. "And I am not afraid to use this," She place the knife near Leo's fore head "Talk," She almost yelled.

(Two things leo and Joanne have in common; they are both crazy and stupid :D no wonder they're sibilings)

Fear was the only thing going though Jylani's mind. Every shadow and tree was stealing the air, squeezing it out of her lungs, crushing her. Grinning fanged faces stared at her everywhere she looked. Her heart was skipping a few beats and she had a slightly electric feeling. Her mouth was open and she gasped for air but there was none. Her head was dizzy and she shook like a leaf in the wind. She needed to be in a bright open place now! Her eyes were frantic. Suddenly her hair was yanked on. Something was grabbing it and she couldn't get free.

 

(Her hair is only caught in a tree but she doesn't know that.)

 

Leo laughed, "I've never played this game before!" he said with a smile. "but we can play fetch! I LOVE that game!" He said before shifting into a beagle and prancing around. Leo leaped ontop of Joanned and licked her face with his slobbery wet dog tounge. He ran off into the bushes and broke of a stick even though there were tons laying around. He held out the stick wagging his tail, well more shaking his butt than anything but you get the picture. Leo tried saying, "C'mon I wanna play!" but it came out as a muffled bark. Leo dropped the stick. Hmm maybe she doesn't understand how to play. He thought before he shifted back into a human and said, "This is how you play fetch you throw the stick and I get it then we do it again! Understand?" his tone of voice was like when you teach someone something they don't know.

Eridan jolted awake from his trance when he heard something. This noise was nearby, it was rustling from a branch. He could hear the faint noises of a struggling human. He brightened up, maybe he wasn't alone. But then his bright thoughts were replaced by fear, what if it was a creature? Like the one that killed his wealthy family? Hey, he was about dead anyways, maybe walking into it is better than suffering from dehydration. He got up on shaky legs and followed the noises, soon he saw a girl. He stared at her for a bit, wondering if she was a creature. "Hello," he said to Jylani.

Joanne almost fell to the ground and almost threw up when Leo licked her. "I don't want to play catch, I'm not your owner and who just starts up a game of catch like that?!" Joanne nagged. She egded a little closer to Leo. "and for your information, I know how to play catch," she said gravelly. When Joanne realized that LEo wasn't gonna leave her alone, she sigh and picked up her stick. "FETCH!" Joanne cried as she tossed the stick in the woods. "Maybe when ten seconds go by, I can make a run for it and get away from this wierdo," Thought Joanne. She slowly started to back away.

When she caught up to Delta she stood beside her and laughed, "Yes that is precicesly how us 'Founders' designed it." she said with a smile. "And don't worry its ALOT bigger than it looks." she said, "Now if you'll actually FOLLOW me I'll show you around a bit and you know help you through orientation." Elyon said begining to walk away in another direction. "I'm Elyon by the way, Leader of the Children of the Stars."

Elyon led Delta into the camp, and other Children who have been there for a while already gave her nods of respect, and some smiled and said 'hi'. She pointed out landmarks and major things.

Latia was strolling around the camp, singing one of her favorite songs and trying to find something interesting to do, when she saw Elyon come through the front entrance. She was about to ask her if she had seen any monsters today, when she saw someone she didnt recognize come in after the camp leader. Oooh, a newbie, we havent had one in days She thought. The girl had green eyes, and very light blond hair. She went over to them and said hi to the girl and nodded to her leader as they walked by and continued with her singing

Someone or something said "hello" from the trees. Jylani's mind reeled with fright. She would have screamed but her lungs didn't have enough air. Was that what had her hair? Suddenly a thought came into her panic stricken brain. Why would an evil creature say hi to me? "Hello," she managed to choke out. She felt extremely faint and almost blacked out. "Something has me by the hair," she whispered, tears springing to her eyes. Fear took hold of her again and she shook herself trying to break free. "The dark, it's.... it's coming to get me!" she said, her eyes rolling back, scared.

Delta nodded every time Elyon pointed something out. She introduced herself to the leader of the Children of the Stars. "I am Delta" She cringed slightly, expecting her to laugh. When the other girl came by, Delta noted the look in her eyes. She didn't really like the look the other girl shot her, she could have sworn the other girl's eyes had said something nasty. Something that sounded like Newbie ((Oh! Rivalry starts with a misunderstood begining. This is getting good! I guess, probably at the end, Delta would find out that Latia ment her no ill-will. Can't wait fr this RP to go further! :D *shot*))

~ The Forest ~
The forest is a large, dense, pine forest that is located just off the city. There is lots of undergrowth, and the floor is carpeted with a soft blanket of pine needles. There are no foot trails in the forest, and hardly anyone went in there for at least 20 years before the apocalypse, as there was a freak accident in a quarry in the forest, and people who go in there are said to never come out, taken by the ghosts of the quarry workers who died all those years ago.





~ Camp ~
'Camp' as they like to call it, is the Children of the Star's base. It is where they sleep, eat and generally live. It is a very large dip in the ground with very steep limestone sides. It is built in the old quarry, and is about the size of two, two floor houses put together side-by-side, in height and width. There are only two ways out and in. One: The main entrance. It is a narrow winding path that slopes gently around the side of the quarry. It has been carved into the stone, and is smooth so gets very slippery when wet. The second entrance is the emergency exit. It is a narrow tunnel, just big enough to crawl through, in the back of the camp. It floods when it rains, as it goes down and then back up to the surface. The entrance in the forest is covered up with leaves and foliage incase any monsters happen to stumble across it. It is not to be used apart from the case of an emergency. The camp is a rough, rounded rectangle shape, and has three main sections to it. The main entrance comes out into the first section: The main clearing. This is where the Children gather every day to eat, talk and generally socialize. The hard stone floor is blanketed in pine needles to make it soft to sit on, and there are may rings of stones in cleared spaces which are used to light fires. Some of them have logs to serve as benches around them, and others have pots and pans hanging over them on small wooden structures. Some have barriers around then to that they can be lit in wind and rain. Small fold-up tables and chairs are dotted around the clearing, and there are three caves leading into the cliff-face at the base of the cliff. These caves are used for emergencies incase of an attack form the monsters. The children have brought metal gates up from the city, and attached them to make doors at the front of the caves. Inside, there small tunnels, just big enough to walk through with your head bent a bit, thoguh some only have crawl space. They are half way up the walls that connect all the caves together. These tunnels can also be shut off with small metal hatchways. Each cave can comfortably hold around 10 or so people, and inside each cave there are supplies to last ten people a week. There is food, water, a fire ring, some pots, torches, two walkie-talkies, and some blankets.





The second section is to the left of the main clearing, and is called the 'storage section'. This is where all the supplies are stored, including food, water, blankets, sheets and pillows, batteries, weapons and armor and anything else that the children bring from the city. It is sectioned off from the main clearing with a wall about feet high made from boxes and crates covered in plastic sheeting to stop them disintegrating. The entrance is a small hole, big enough to crawl through. This can be blocked from inside if anyone gets stuck in there during a monster attack, and is only big enough to let one person through at a time. Tight plastic sheets spread from the cliff face (Hammered into the stone with bolts) to the boxes, and keeps rain out of the storage section. The roof is at the same level as the boxes (8ft).



The third and final section is the sleeping quarters. This section is bigger than the storage area, but smaller than the main clearing. It can comfortably hold several people, and is sectioned off in the same way as the storage area, with a sun-tinted roof structure and clear plastic windows. However, inside this section, people have sectioned themselves off rooms, leading off of the two main corridors. These rooms are around 8ft, and can hold a bed and some room for personal belongings such as clothes, etc. The beds are circular, and are made up of ferns and bracken woven together, with sheets (Taken from the abandoned Wal-Mart in the city along with the blankets and pillows) covering them, and blankets and a pillow on top.



~ The shrieking falls ~
This beautiful waterfall is located not far from the camp. It is not very big, about 22ft high, and gets it's name from the noise it makes if the wind blows over it in a certain direction, a terribly loud shrieking noise. The large plunge-pool at it's base is around 9ft deep in the middle, and around 1ft at the very edge, is used for washing. The children have made a barrier of woven materials that sections off part of it for doing things like brushing teeth and washing hands, where the current is not as strong and the dirty water does not mix with the bathing water while someone is having a bath. But the most remarkable thing about the waterfall is that the water is warmer than most river water, even in winter, as the source of the river is just half a mile up from the waterfall. It is a hot spring source. If you go behind the waterfall, there is a small cave which is not used for anything, so people usually go up there for some peace and quiet. You do have to get quite wet to get there though. Inside, it is layered with thick moss all over the floor and walls, and is also used for collecting moss for bedding.



~ Fern forest ~
This large dip in the ground is full of ferns. Many a child has walked into it, thinking it is just another stretch of land, but actually it is about 19ft deep, and full of ferns growing from the sides into the middle until you get to the very bottom, where there is a 5ft gap, and then mossy floor. It's sides are not very steep, but are covered in moss. They are easy to climb when dry, but when it is wet, however, they get very slippery and are almost impossible to climb. At the bottom, it is around 9ft wide and is very dark. It is used for fighting practice, due to it's difficult conditions, and it is a useful trap to lead the monsters into. The children always bring a rope ladder incase it starts to rain half-way-through a training session and they find that they can't get out. Beware of ticks and falling down it!


~ Hare Hill ~
Hare Hill is a huge, tree-covered hill in the center of the forest. You can see the whole forest and most of the city from the top, so it is used for lookout. The children have built a treehouse-type structure in the tallest tree at the top, which is accessed by a rope ladder, and is a platform made of wooden planks encircling the trunk with a radius of around 3ft The platform is sheltered with yet more plastic sheeting, and has a small but steady barrier around the edge. On the platform, there is a telescope, some ropes, a first aid kit, survial pack and climbing harnesses, incase the platform gives way. The hill got it's name from the fact that there is a wide tunnel leading all the way through the hill, half way up, that branches off into the unknown at many points. But if you follow the main tunnel, it will lead out the other side of the hill. Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a huge hare came and dug the tunnel. It is dark and wet in the tunnel, and home to many animals such as rabbits which the Children of the Stars can hunt.


~ Winding River ~
The river that runs through the forest. I starts at a hot source at the base of Hare Hill, and quickly grows into a steaming hot river. By the time it gets to the Shrieking Waterfall, it's about the temperature of bath water. It flows all the way through the center of the forest, passing right by Camp, and flows out into the city. It is called the 'Winding' River, because there are some white water rapids just past the waterfall, and it is very winding, going miles out of it's way before getting back on corse again. You have to cross it several times before you can get to the city, and the children have found a route where the water is shallow enough to wade across. Most of the time, it is about 6ft deep and 32ft wide at widest, but mostly around 13ft wide. The children use the boiling hot water at the source to cook food and to wash their clothes. But be careful, it'll burn you very badly if you fall in!


(More places to come when I think of them!)

_{This role play is about a post-apocalyptic world. It is set in the year 2012, and the only survivors , only as old as 18, have been given a task. The biggest task anyone has ever been given. All of them have been given what some call 'gifts' to save the human race. How? They don't know. But mystic beings who call themselves 'the Stars' are always watching them, ready for them to fail, and to see all humanity lost to the mists of time. The stars did this to the world, as the human race was at the beginning of something evil, which had to be stopped. What, nobody knows. All that they know is that the future of the world lies in their hands. Each gift they have been given corresponds with their star sign, or zodiac sign. This won't be a walk in the park for the Children of the Stars. They will be faced with the challenges of survival to the extreme, the feeling of want and love fogging their minds on their goal and mission that they will have to achieve if they want to see the coming day. Monsters that were once human lurk in the shadows, ready to kill. They will show no mercy, and if they win... There is no chance. For anyone. Can the young generation save what is left of humanity, and re-populate the world? Nothing is clear yet, not even to the stars. Only time, and courage, can tell...}

You run through the forest, not daring to look back over your shoulder. You know they're behind you, you can hear them. They're catching up, and you can't run for much longer. Suddenly, you feel yourself being grabbed from behind. Something pulls you into a hedge. You're too scared to speak or scream or do anything. they've got me. This is the end. you're forced to the ground, and you see a kid around with streaks of mud covering their face. They put a finger to their lips, indicating that they want silence. You hear the monsters pass a few meters away from the hedge, and don't even dare to breath. A few minutes after the noise is gone, the kid pins you to the ground. "Open your mouth." They say, giving you a hard glare. Scared, you do as they ask. The kid looks inside. "No fangs. That's a start. But how do I know your not a Shade? Well, I've never seen you before, and we're the only humans left, so it's very unlikely that you could be a shade... Looks like I'll just have to trust you." The kid looks out through a crack in the hedge. 'Stay here.' They say, and standing up, careful not to make a noise. The kid returns a minute later and sits down in front of you. "They're gone, but they'll be back. They always are... Don't worry, you're safe for now. I'm a child of the stars. I'm taking it you are too, or you wouldn't be alive." You have no idea what they're talking about, but right now you're just glad to see another human being. "Come on, we'd better get back to the camp now." They stand up and check that the coast is clear before stepping out of the hedge and brushing themself off. You do the same. They start to walk off, deeper into the woods, and you follow them helplessly.

Soon, you enter a steep dip in the ground. Logs are piled up most of the sides of the hollow, and many people sit on the ground or around camp fires. There are beds made out of blankets and pillows in one corner, containers and tins of food in another and various fold up tables and chairs scattered around the place. The kid walks over to one of the many campfires and sits down. They beckon you to sit oposite of them. "So, I take it you're from he city? Those monsters don't normally wander this far into the forest on their own. You've got to be careful nowadays. You never know when one of them will jump out at you..." They poke the fire with a metal stick."what's your star sign?" The kid asks eventually. You look at them, confused. "Okay, maybe I should explain what happened first." "We never thought it would come, but it did. The turning of the year, the turning of reality. Nobody thought that it would ever happen, science proved that it would never happen. But it did. The apocalypse came, and destroyed humanity. Just as they foretold. And now it's only us. Those who were saved. We are the children of the stars, chosen to stay alive. The fresh generation with a chance to put right all that humanity has done wrong. And it's a fight for survival in the world we used to call home. With the powers of the stars on our side, we have a small chance to get things back to the way they were. To rebuild humanity."At The turning of the year from 2011 to 2012, hardly anyone took the apocalypse seriously. There had been people who had predicted how the world would end, in the form of strange new planets flipping The earth upside down, ancient calendars turning over, and a new age of the zodiac. But only one persons predicted what would really happen. An old woman, who had been chosen by the stars to pass on a prophecy. We found her, and she told us everything I'm telling you now. She told us about The stars, and about what we had to do. Then, on her deathbed, she gave us the prophecy.

"The human race was destroyed, but can yet be saved. It is up to you to prove that humanity is worthy of living. Show us this, and the earth shall be populated once more. Fail, and humanity shall be lost forever in the mists of time. You shall be faced with things darker than you could possibly imagine......"

"How did the world end? On new years day, there was a meteor shower. But not just an ordinary meteor shower. A radioactive meteor shower that covered the entire world, destroying almost everything. We are the children who have been chosen, and we have been given powers to help us prove our worth.

"At first, we didn't know what these powers were for, but as the prophecy said, we were to be tested. When the meteors hit, most of the population died. However, some survived, but mutated into things that were only thought to exsist in horror films. These creatures are intelligent, and have found ways of cloning themselves. Their aim is to destroy anything that seems a threat to them. In this case, us."What's that? you want to hear more about our powers? Well, every human has a star sign. They are Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. Each one of us has been given the power of our star sign. Our powers protect us from the radioactivity of the meteors, and help us fight the monsters the people have become. "There's only a few of us here at the moment, but more are coming. the meteors didn't touch the forest, so we made our camp here because there's not enough radiation to destroy the plants and animals which we eat. The stars guide us here, so more of us should be coming." After they had finished, the kid let's out a little laugh. "I can tell that you don't believe any of this." thier face becoming serious. "But it's true, and It's a dangerous world out there. Believe it or not, you've been guided here because you're special. And unless you want to get killed, you've got no choice but to stay...."
