Roleplaying

Noticing the other girl had joined them, Sye walked towards the entrance, peer inside, and then thought better as she backed up. 

"Hrm," huffed Sye. raising one eyebrow and peering inside once more. "As I said, you first." She brushed hair from her face and crossed her arms, looking quizzicly at Darrin. "Seems that dog-boy feels at home," she commented with a slight snarl. If these creeps found it to be nice enough to just 'walk in', there was no way she was going to step foot in there! Anything they liked was nothing she would consider.

"I'd rather tough it in a tree or the streetside curb," she growled. "Unless," she added sarcasticly, "You want to go inside first?" His seeming-refusal to go inside set her off- even though the other boy felt at home in there, Sye wasn't sure someone was hiding to jump her or something.

Shading her eyes to the setting sun, she snapped, "Let's choose fast. As in, really fast."

Darrin shrugged, "Don't know, he was like that when I met him." he said. "Only thing I know about him is that he can pick locks, find just about anything, and can throw knives." he said, "I met him 2 weeks ago, he was following me, and I just about killed him, but then..." Darrin stopped because he didn't like the sound of what he was going to say, "but then I saw how helpless and alone he was and I kinda just took him under my wing I guess." he said.

Thomas just nodded and stared at the floor, "M-my p-parents were drunks, a-and they used to b-beat me up alot, s-so one day I-I decided t-that I had had enough so I r-ran away." he said with a sniffle, "but I doubt they even care."

After hearing what Darrin had to say the corner of Rizz's mouth turned up very slightly and it was extremly hard to see, it was basically the closest she gets to a smile for the most part but couldn't help it she usually never had anything to really smile about, but after hearing that she couldn't not, it was nice to know he had somewhat of a soft spot, and right away she took a liking to Thomas, even though as completly opposite there personalities were, they had similar backgrounds and she knew where he was coming from for the most part, she looked over at him "Hey, chin up kid, if the big brute turns on you stick with me and we'll go places."

"What a sad sob story," Sye snarled, glaring at the boy. Sye wasn't known for her compation. "Franky, I don't give dirt. That's his problem, not mine. And besides, it's over. History. Live with it. But we'll all be back home if we don't find somewhere to sleep."

Without waiting for a reply, she spun on her heels, brushed hair from her face once more, and began looking for a safe, sheltered place to sleep. Circling the street, head bent low, she trailed around a bit, looking for a shelter to sleep under. After a good amount of time searching around their general area, she came back and spat, "Oh, I give up! There's no where safe and hidden to sleep, and I'm not spending a night in that dump. I say we keep moving, give the cops a bit of a harder time finding us."

She leaned back against the bricks, fuming at her failure to find a decent place to sleep as the last light of day faded.

Darrin just smirked and looked at Syeteka, boy was she a grumpy one! "Well, If you can find a better place, I wouldn't mind leaving the dump." he said as he walked out of the door, he tossed Thomas the key, "C'mon Thomas, lets go for a walk." he said. And when he and Thomas were halfway out of the door Darrin turned and said, "It's okay, you can cry now, and I promise that I won't even say anything about it." he said in a hushed but sympathetic tone.

Thomas nodded and put the key in his pocket, he then trudgged after Darrin, tears streaming down his face.

Darrin just watched him, knowing how it felt when he was his age, living at home with horrible parents.

Rizz watched as Darrin and Thomas walked off then she quickly turned towards Sye and said under her breath "I might know a place...only thing is that it is a ways from here and I haven't been there in a while so I don't know what sort of shape it's in..." she paused then added "No one would look for us there though I can almost promise you that, I've never shown it to anyone, I built it myself and never told anyone, it was sorta my home away from home" she slipped a hand into her pocket leaning against the wall waiting for an answer.

As Darrin and Thomas rounded the corner, there was a huge lampost in the way (doubt this makes sense, but whatever) Darrin walked around it, and warned Thomas, "Watch out for that post." he said. Thomas, who was now wiping the rears out of his eyes, didn't hear him and walked straight into the post with a Bang! Darrin turned around and helped him up, "I told you to watch out!" he said acessing the damage "Nothing to serious, just a briuse on your left eye." he said as they continued walking. When they got back, the now red eyed and briused Thomas sat down and Darrin just leaned up against the wall, staring into space.

(Hmm, I wonder if the others think Darrin might have beaten Thomas up???  *winks* )

Rizz glanced towards Darrin and Thomas not noticing the bruise right away "Welcome back" she said as she caught sight of Thomas's face "What the?!" he jaw nearly fell open, in the short time they'ed been gone he got a bad one pretty quick, she turned towards Darrin "What'd you do to the poor kid? Some way to feel bad for him, you go and hit him in the face!" she shouted but her voice somehow managed to stay quiet so they didn't attract to much attention to themselves, that was a real shock and she never would've expected that Thomas actually ran into a light pole.

((nice hint lol))

Darrin snapped out of his daydream, "Huh! What! You think that I punched him?!!" he snarled standing up his hands balled into fists, he had a temper so it wasn't good to get him rilled up. "Why in the world would I do that?!! Do you not see how innocent and helpless he is?!!" Darrin said angrilly, he then turned to Thomas, "You tell her what happened since she probably wouldn't believe me." said Darrin his gray eyes colder and sharper than ever.

Thomas stared at his shoes like they were the most interesting things in the world, "D-Darrin is right, I-I was c-crying and h-he was j-just trying to make me feel better. T-Then I walked into this lampost and he h-helped me up." said Thomas in a small, frightened voice.

 

Rizz was suprised at the excuse for the bruise on his face but the expression on her face didn't show it as she shot an icy glare at Darrin, she let out a growl and spoke, her voice was harsh "What are the odds that he would've ran into a lamp post in the first place and that it would have been my first guess? After all you did pull a sword on us earlier, how was I suposed to just assume you didn't do it?" she looked back at Thomas and her icy cold glare softened a little bit but not much "You alright then?" she asked looking at the bruise on his eye.

Thomas nodded, "Umm, yeah, Darrin tried to warn me but I couldn't see with all the tears in my eyes." he said still looking at the floor.

Darrin just glared at Rizz, "Now if you think that Thomas would lie then you are seriouly mistaken!" he said as stormed out of the room. He angrilly kicked an empty soda can that was lying around. Darrin pulled the collar of his coat up to his face and put his hands in his pockets, it was getting chilly. He walked down the road and climbed into a tall tree, he sat there thinking, angry, but soon he calmbed a bit, I mean could he really blame Rizz, after all, they were runnaways.

Rizz sighed as she watched Darrin leave, after a little while she went after him, seeing him up in the tree she looked up at him, her voice softend as she spoke  "Hey, look I'm sorry, I guess I probably shouldn't of just assumed it was you." she hesitated then continued "If you want I know a place we could go, it isn't much but it's hidden, and it might put Sye at ease a little, we don't have to if you don't wanna go though, I don't know, I just figured I would offer is all." she turned and walked back towards the others again.

"Wait!" said Darrin as he hopped down out of the tree and trotted over to Rizz, "You don't have to apologize, I understand completly." he said, "and I'm sorry for my temper, I shouldn't have yelled." said Darrin apologetically as he continued walking, "And thanks for inviting me, it sure beats  staying at that dump, or toughing it in a tree out here in this weather." said Darrin as they reached the others.

Thomas wiped his eyes and looked up at Darrin and Rizz, "A-all I do is cas trouble and arguments, I-I bet that's why m-my p-parents hated me." he said sadly. "I-I'm sorry."

Rizz nodded towards Darrin accepting his appoligy (doubt thats spelt right) then walked over towards Thomas again "Hey, tell ya what, you come with us and we'll keep you out of trouble." she patted him on the shoulder, she understood Darrin when he said he felt pitty for Thomas, she began to feel it too.  She turned her attention back towards Darrin "Here's the thing, the place I know of, it's definatly safe and unknown and well hidden, you guys would be the first I've ever brought there, you tell anyone about it, I'll kill you." she had a dead serious look on her face then continues "But I haven't been there in a long time, like a couple years, haven't had the time so I don't know what kind of shape it's in, there might be a few cob webs around, I built it myself so odds are its still sturdy."

Darrin nodded hands in his pockets, "Well, whenever your're ready to go." he said with a kind smile. He then walked over to Thomas and slapped him on the back, "Chin up! Your smart...........and nice so don't worry about your loser parents." he said trying to cheer him up, "Stick with us and you're gonna make it far!" he said as he grabbed his bag and laced up his sneakers. "C'mon, It's getting dark out and we better find somewhere to settle down for the night." said Darrin, as he walked out the door.

Thomas nodded and felt a little better, he grabbed the blankets that Darrin had bought and put them in his backpack, he then followed him out the door.

A fairly large town in the Western side of the USA, with loads of woodland and busy streets. The woods might be considered a safe haven, but there are always forest rangers on the lookout for anythung unusual. There's a small herd of elk somewhere nearby, near the edge of the town in the forest, but nothing else besides rabbits and wolves inhabit them. The woods are fairly easy to search, so you might stand a better chance of toughing it in the cold city allyways.

These kids are runaways. For their own personal reasons, be it for the challange or to escape family, they're on their own now. Evading the cops, sheltering in hidden coves, and mostly just trying to stay alive and unseen keeps them busy most of the time. They refuse to be caught; in fact, before running away together, they all made a pact to die rather than be caught. Liberty or death is their motto. Their plan? To escape capture until they reach the legal age where they can live by themselves. After that, the cops are off their tails and they are free to do whatever they wish.

These kids are on the run- and they're all under 18.

None that I can think of.

1) No unnecessary blood, gore, detailed romance, or violance. I understand this is a runaway RP, but really people, no 'details'.

2) Only one character, please.

3) Ages must be between 13-16. Nothing over age 16.

4) If you'd like, your character may die- but only if you give the OK. If they die, you may join again with a new character, or use it as a way to quit the RP.

5) NO pets- or siblings! No bringing your horse, dog, cat, parrot, ferret, or even goldfish.  No sisters or brothers as well.

6) Wepons are allowed, and actually incouraged. You may bring something to keep you safe- or to hunt, hmm?

7) To keep things interesting, I may butt in once in a while with a cop, newspaper advertisement, or radio ad, any of which may advertise the missing kids/look for/find the kids. But, I cannot harm your character in any way, unless you wish me to.

8) NO godmodding! You may ONLY control your character! No controling ads, cops, other players, animals, weather, surroundings, or anything else. The only thing OUTSIDE of your character that you may add in once in a while is the parent(s).

9) When creating your character, please include their quirks, crushes, weapons, skills, trinkets/items, and why we're bringing them along.

And that's about it! :)
