Roleplaying

 Eridan was confused by what she was freaking out about. "Don't worry, calm down," he said softly as he walked over to her. "Your hair is just caught in a branch, nothing to be afraid of. Here, let me help you." He gently pulled the strands of hair from the branch and untangled her hair from it. "See? Just a tree. Not one of those weird creatures. Speaking of them, was your family killed by them too? Mine were, I barely escaped, it was a quite dramatic time. What I want to know is there other humans around? Have you seen anybody else?"

Archer was still smiling when Ronu freaked out. He then became a little more serious, letting the smile drop of his face though his eyes still twinkled. "No, No, No you aren't gonna die and you don't have cancer." he said shaking his head. "Cancer is your Star Sign, but mainly know as your Zodiac sign. Its the reason why your alive and why you can do what you did." Archer said before reaching for a roll of gauze and wrapping up Ronu's leg. "Now that thats taken care of let's go see the cook so we can get some food into ya!" he said clapping his hands and smiling. Archer lead Ronu through the camp, into the center where a few other kids who had cooking duty were preparing a bunch of food. "Help yourself, I'll have to be going in a minute or two for my Hunting duty but don't worry if you need any help just ask someone, here we are all a big family!" and with that Archer teleported off to the front of the Camp, bow in hand.

"Nice to meet you Delta." Elyon said, not the least bit amused by her name. From what she's seen, the name Delta was one of the less embarrassing or funny names. When Archer appeared out of thin air a few yards away from them, Elyon jogged over to him. "Are you going out for Hunting duty?" she asked him, hopping that he was and not going out exploring alone again.

"Yeah, I don't break the rules all the time Elyon, it hurts that you don't trust me." Archer said mockingly.

Elyon rolled her eyes, "Yeah well go to Hare Hill, there's been ton's of rabbits hoppin about." she said. "Also look for Leo, I know he was on Patrol Duty but you know how he is." Elyon whispered, it wasn't that he didn't trust or belive in him its just that Leo could be a bit......spacey at times.

Archer nodded his head, "Alright, I gotcha, I'ma keep my walkie-talkie on channel 5 and let you know if I hear from him. I expect to be back before sundown if I catch anything, if not I'll be at the shallows in the Winding River fishing." Archer said before dissapearing off into the forest to meet his team.

After Archer left Elyon trotted back over to Delta. "I'm going to take you over to the infirmary to be checked for injuries." she said completely forgetting to introduce her to the Second Leader of the Children of the Stars.

"Oh....," Jylani said, looking at her hair. Her heart was still pounding and her eyes still wild. "I need somewhere open quickly....... the dark is scaring me...... claustrophobic," she said, fear edging her voice. "I never knew my family......... I've been an orphan as long as I can remember." There was a hint of hurt in her words. She shook as old memories came back again. "I haven't seen a living thing sense I entered the forest a day or so ago." Her breathing became fast as the blanket of darkness started closing around again. "The dark is back!" she screamed.

Ronu blinked a few times to make sure she wasnt seeing things then turned back to the cooks. She got some food and went to find someplace to sit down. Zodiac signs? Special abilities? I wish he would have told me about the Children of the Stars though. That would make everything clearer. Sitting down she started to eat the things that the cooks had made. When she was done only an apple and some sort of bread was left. I'll just save these for later. She got up and looked around.What...Where do I go next? Archer didnt show me the entire camp. She wondered around until she came back to the infirmary. Well, I guess since Archer says I have healing abilities, I can find someone in here that can tell me more. She thought walking in. "Hello? Anyone here?" she quietly called.

When Joanne threw the stick Leo shifted back into a beagle and dashed for the stick. He was back with it in his mouth after about two seconds. Leo sat down at Joanne's feet and proceeded to gnaw on it. He was soon interupted by the growl of his belly. "I'm hungry now!" he barked before shifting back into his silly barefoot human self. "I'm hungry, are you hungry?" he asked Joanne, but then he grew impacient and said, "You probbably are, I love food!" Leo thought a moment  before turning to Joanne and saying, "Let's go eat, hope on!" and with that he shiffted into a large silky coated racehorse and waited for Joanne to mount him.

She looked around warily, in the distance she could hear wolf-like howls, there must be beasts nearby. She moved foreward exhausted, how long had it been since she last saw her house burn? She couldn't tell, the thought was still vividly in her mind. Her tongue was dry and her stomach pained her. She was exhausted from all the walking and running, a nap would be terrific right now! Mayra stopped when she heard noises coming from a bush. She froze... could that be a... a monster? She hated dealing whith them, the only type of monster she saw so far were beasts, but there were probably more. She climbed a tree and looked doan to see what seemed to be a girl and boy. The girl was panicking saying the darkness has gotten hold of her or something, and the boy was trying to help her out. She carefully climbed down and walked into their sight range. "Hello?" She hadn't heard of any other monster besides beasts so she didn't question if they were human or not.

Joanne winced when she saw Leo come back. She could only get in one step too. "Dang it! So close!" She thought. She didn't even get a chance to speak when Leo asked here if she was hungry. "Well I am hungry, very you could say," She said."Joanne stared at Leo as he turned into a beautiful horse. "But where are we going?" She asked. "How do you know where there's food avalible? This is an apocalypse world, it can't be that easy to find food!" Joanne picked up her backpack and pocket knife and hopped on. "OK, I'm trusting you. Be careful, my leg is hurtin' a bit," Joanne closed her eyes and held on tight.

Jylani jumped. The darkness was speaking to her. Or so she thought until her eyes came into focus again and she realized there was a girl standing in front of her. "Hello?" she said, her voice trembling."You aren't a monster from the shadows are you?" She hoped the boy beside her knew something about fighting if there was a monster. She had nothing to defend herself with and even if she did it would do no good. "Monsters don't say hi to their food do they?" she questioned, mostly to herself. The pressure of the darkness was beginning to suffocate her again.

Simla sat on the ground, rubbing her wings. "How dare nobody likes me because of my ears!" she exclaimed. She stood up. "POINTY DOESN'T MEAN WIERDO YOU KNOW!" Simla screamed. She sighed, and sat back down. "Well, I guess I'll just be a lonely freak," She said. "Those star children would be lucky if they lived...or died gently." She egde a bit closer to the camp. "I gotta get sombody, sombody who's easy to trick to detroy that dumb camp!" Simla whispered. "Its all I have left in my goals!" She then started to sing very very loudly as she flew to the right side of the camp.

(Cover yours earsies! you know, the angel's singing, and you gotta cover your ears....and they're called ears so I say earsies :) I'm wierd)

 Eridan looked up at the new arrival. "Hello," he greeted brightly. "So there's more humans out here?" He glanced at Jylani who still looked a bit hysterical. "I need help with her. She keeps talking about the darkness having her. I have no clue how to help, but earlier she said she needed an open space." He glanced at Mayra again. "I'm sure we need a proper introduction. My name is Eridan, Eridan Ampora. I used to have a wealthy family until we had the meteors, then the monsters. Then I had to run, and that's how I'm here now."

"My name is Mayra, my family was killed in a fire when the meteor's hit," she looked at Jylani who still looked panicked. Mayra climbed a nearby tree and looked around, she could hardly see a thing in this darkness. Looking around she could just faintly see an open area. Mayra carefully climbed back down and looked back at Eridan and Jylani. "There's an open area not too far from here." She heard Jylani complaining about the dark having her again. "If you fallow me I can show you where the open area is." She looked in the direction she saw the open area.

"Please please do!" she said with a look of eagerness on her panicked face. She followed close behind Mayra until they came into a little clearing. Jylani gave a sigh of relief and sat down on a fallen tree trunk.She took a few calming breaths of air then looked back at Eridan and Mayra. "Sorry about that. There's only so long in a dark enclosed space that I can take before I lose it. I'm Jylani, a pre-apocalypse orphan. I went into the forest to find somewhere to live I think. I can't remember any more." As she talked the color started returning to her cheeks.

When Joanne mounted him, Leo took off in a pounding of hooves. He 'neighed' with delight, feeling the wind rush through his mane as he galloped at an incredible speed. Leo jumped over boulders and logs, jumping swiftly and highly. It was an amazing sight to behold. But probabaly not for Joanne concidering the amount of branches that smacked her in the face. (XD) Finally he reached the Camp, skidding to a not so graceful stop a few feet in front of Elyon and Delta.

"What the Heck!" Elyon shouted when a gigantic horse came charging at her. Just as she began to move Delta and herself out of the way the horse stopped. Elyon knew that it had to be the one and the only Leo. Elyon walked up to the horse and rubbed it between the eyes on its white blaze, "Leo you are such a show off." she said trying to cover up her brief shock. Elyon glanced up to see a girl on Leo's back. She had leaves in her hair and scratches on her face. Even her eyebrow was scratched and bleeding. Elyon helped her down and introduced herself, "I am Elyon the leader of this camp. This Camp is for the Children of the Stars. We are the chosen humans that were to survive the apocolypse and prove that we are worthy to live on this earth. You are identified and given special abilites due to your zodiac sign."

After Elyon finished talking Leo shifted back to his human form, "I'm Leo!" he said with a smile and a wave.

Elyon shook her head then smiled, "Yes this is Leo, he is in charge of Patrols, that means its his job to search for and help any children that are lost in the woods or don't know how to get to camp." "Leo, can you take this girl to the infirmary so that they can check her out, can you handle that?" Elyon asked him raising her eyebrows.

"Yup, but Elyon I am really hungry, can we go eat first?" Leo asked her his face hopeful.

Elyon looked at Leo then at Joanne's bruised face, then back at Leo, "You can go eat after you take her to the infirmary, and don't forget to explain to her about the Camp and the Zodiacs." Elyon turned around and saw Delta, "You should go too, so you can be checked for injuries as well." with that Elyon walked off to go inspect the Camp or whatever she needed to do.

Leo's face fell for about a second before he started smiling again, "Okay! Everybody Follow Me!" he said cheerily as he marched through the camp, heading towards the infirmary. Leo put his hand on one of the stone walls and felt for vibrations, he listened closely for sounds of the infirmary and scented the air for the smell of rubbing alcohol, and medicine. It was sorta ironic that Leo was blind and he was leading two people that could see, but his mind was still a little.....funny. At the moment he was actually thinking about catching flying bunnies in speed tag. Obviously he wasn't paying attention and ran smack dab into somone (Ronu)

(M.T what if she was like hey are you blind and he could be like yes, i am and then Joanne or Delta could be all like yeah, and try to tell her off then leo could be all silly and make everyone laugh and stuff)

When Leo took off Joanne screamed. She was repeately hit by branches and and leaves. She was terribly in pain and the only person who seemed to be having fun was Leo, who was neighing like a horse. By the time Leo made it to the camp, Joanne was dizzy, exhuasted and shocked. She looked at Elyon. "where the heck am I?" She asked. Joanne listen to Elyon carefully, and the next thing she knew, Leo was taking her to the infirmany. She sat down on the table, her eyebrow bleeding, and it looked as if a scar was appearig. "Really? You couldn't be more gentle?" She asked Leo.

~ 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...}

Their eyes are a bright red and their mouth usually a purple, blue, or ruby red with their fangs sticking out just a bit.

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...."
