After Death: The Letters (IC Closed) ( )

Postby CyanideButterfly on Sat Jul 04, 2009 6:56 pm

Alright so if anyone wants to follow this rp everything you need to know is here. after-death-the-letters-t24367.html. This Rp Is closed to others I'm sorry.

Alright here is my starting post. This rp will begin in a flashback like sequence. You'll post about opening your letter and such but then it will be the next day IRL when you are heading to the park. I promise this is the only time I will tell you want to post about >.< I'm not trying to be the over extreme GM but for this roleplay to work fluidly I need everyone to follow all of the rules and take note of everything that I have written down. I am warning you all now though that this first day might go very slow because it is the Fourth of July.




Flash Back

Nova’s breath caught as she read the next line of her letter. She immediately chunked the bottle away from her. Poison? My oldest and best friend just poisoned me? With trembling hands Nova touched her white throat and coughed a little. She had 17 days to live if this thing was true and considering all the resources and amounts of money that Samantha had Nova believed it.

Pushing back a strand of crimson hair from her face Nova read on. Silent tears welled up in her eyes as she folded up the letter. She couldn’t believe that this was actually happening to her. Standing up she looked in her mirror. Her green blue eye sparkled with tears and her mascara ran down her cheeks. Sniffing she wiped her face. The letter was so true. She had never thought about it before but she had let her best friend die. She had let everyone drift apart in a sense that she hadn’t done anything to stop it. Sobs wracked Nova’s body as she curled up on the floor. She lay there for three hours before she finally passed out.


Nova’s thoughts finally snapped back to reality as she wiped away more tears that had formed from thinking about the day before. Sniffing she pulled her fur lined winter coat tighter around her. The air was getting colder and even though there was no snow on the ground the temperature was 10 degrees below zero. Rubbing her toe in circles on the ground Nova stood by the old Oak tree they had played together as kids. She wasn’t sure what she was doing there but she knew the letter had told her to come to the park and she had been pulled here.

Checking her watch Nova saw that it was 1:58. She was early what a shocker. Blowing cold air from between her ruby red lips Nova licked them batting away the stiffness. She wasn’t sure what was about to happen. Was John going to show up and tell Nova something? Would there be more letters? Would the others show up? Did Samantha have bigger plans than killing her and sending her to the park. Nova hoped that she did.

James looked at the bottle and the note that were in his trembling hands. "Poison?!" He threw the bottle in the fire before re-reading the letter. He looked away with blue eyes stinging with tears. He had caused her death? He had never intended for that to happen. How was he to know! Why hadn't he been there for her? He looked back at the blank canvas in front of him. In a fit of rage, sorrow, and panic, he knocked it down and kicked his paints off the small table that was beside him.

His raven hair covered his eyes as silent tear ran down his pale cheeks. As his rage left him, he collapsed to the floor and curled into a ball. She was dead... he had pushed her away and now she was dead! Why hadn't he noticed her calling out for help? He was to busy with his lifeless art. Thats all. Lifeless... just like his oldest friend. He had let her down just for art. The candle light flickered around him, sending his distraught mind into memories. He had been laughing as a child, playing with his friends in the park. They were play acting and Samantha was the princess. Her face had been so bright with laughter.Now, all he could see in his mind was her lifeless body, pale and distorted with pain. He had pushed them all away for the sake of his art. Everything...

In the morning he pulled on his black sweats and walked out of his house. This time he left his hair a mess and didn't care less about his looks. He walked to the park where he was told to meet the others who had caused her death. This small little place they had all grown up together and always had fun was now nothing more than a trajedy waiting for him. Samantha's face again appeared in his mind sending fresh new tears rolling. As he walked he saw Nova sitting by a tree in tears. Was she one of them? He walked silently toward her. His tear stained face was voice enough to the horror.
What is immortality if not but a curse of the flesh? True immortality is not living forever, but leaving something behind to be remembered.

Selena stared at the letter in disbelief. "Wha...Wha..what...." she said softly the open bottle still clutched in her hand. She thought back to her friends...her real friends. She had tried to keep contact...no...no that was a lie. She had dropped her friends as easily as they had dropped her...no she was doing it again, Blaming others for her actions. "I'm sorry Sammy..." she said softly to the letter. "I didnt...i didnt mean to..." She started to let a few tears fall before her cell phone rang, it was Jenny. Selena stared at the phone, then threw it into the wall, it didnt matter any more. Jenny, Liz, Valarie, they didnt matter anymore. She looked once more to the bottle and put the cork back on it, placing it into her purse. She picked up her letter. "17 days...17...." she cried and stood, her face blank save for the tears that fell.

She must have re-read the letter over and over and over since she recieved it, not sleeping a wink. She arrived shortly after James, and bit her lip when she saw him. "oh.." she said gently. She had forgotten how handsome he was in this light. she saw Nova next and smiled gently walking over to the two. She was in a black and white nice polo shirt and a pair of American Eagle Jeans. "Hey." she said softly and looked at the two, she held up the little bottle, "She get you two too?" she looked at the ground. "She's right you know...Its our fault...we deserve this..." Selena never could know when to keep her mouth shut. When she was nervious she just kept talking and talking and talking till someone shut her up.
Forever means nothing if your alone.

For every broken heart there is one near by to mend it.

Shadows are a girls best friend.

Flashback


The mist filed his lungs as he coughed and hacked. "What the?" he said out loud as he finially opened the last letter. The thought hit him. He had killed her, it was all his fault. It hurt him worse than anything he had ever done before. Instead of tears and sadness, he was filled with anger and hatred. He forced his balled fist into the wall. The drywall gave way easily and he retracted his now cut up hand. His memories of the past were foggy at best. One that stood out was the time the entire group would play tag in the park. They all said he wasn't fair because he worked out. "Imagine how unfair it is now? What is unfair is you trying to kill me. Do you hear me? Why should I die when you decided to leave us all?" He screamed into the empty room. His fist never left their balled up position as he looked at the stream of blood trickle down his right fist.

End Flashback


There he was, making his way down to the park that was their place. Here he would go to get away from his parents, away from the stress. His varsity jacket buttoned tight against his muscular form and large blue jeas hid his hands, one wrapped up from the injury. He knew he was lucky not to break anything. As the large oak came into veiw he saw two people he was not ready to see. It was Nova and James, two old friends from the past. 'Why are they here? Is this one last joke on your part Sam?' He thought bitterly as he reached the tree.

"Well look what the cat dragged in? What is the circus in town?" He barked at the two, the seperation was hard on him. He had replaced pain with anger a long time ago. They left him, was how he reasoned it. He wouldn't leave them, not when he still lived with his parents.

Nova looked up hearing the three other people descend around her. She quickly wiped her startling pretty green blue eyes. “Shut up Aiden.” Nova said roughly as a drop of water from the night before that had been hanging on a leaf hit Nova’s cheek. It was icy cold and made her flinch slightly. It was almost as if Samantha were telling her to be nice.

“I’m guessing that everyone got the letter like I did? I know Selena did she already talked about hers.” Nova said messing the ground up with the toe of her black converse. She tugged at the lip rings in her bottom lip before licking her lips again her bright neon green tongue ring jetting out. “Do you think that…Talli and Jace got one as well?” Nova asked the others softly. If they all got a letter that meant Samantha definitely had a plan. Nova just didn’t know what it was yet ot why she would put all of their lives at stake.

Aiden laughed when she snapped at him. "Samantha always did like these weird games, I am sure she decided to kill us all." He said as he looked behind him and didn't see anyone coming. "So Selena, it is strange to see you out here without your pose following behind. How have you been? Closer to death as always?" He couldn't help it. The fact that he would indeed die in a litle over two weeks made him so upset he could only laugh. 'If I am going to die I am going to go out with a bang. Just like you Sam.' he thought to her, hoping she could listen. The breeze the blew past him seemed rough and bitter. 'Yeah she heard me.' he cringed agaist his smile.

Selena looked at Aiden and then looked down. She spoke softly, but loud enough he could hear, "You know when you life is going to end soon you remember what's important. Besides, those people are what caused me to..." she shook her head, "You know what we're all upset you're not the only one whose going to die. So stop the agro. Or have the steriods stopped your brain from having higher thought." she bit her lip. Did she just say that? She would never say anything like that. Sure she would think it, but never out loud. She recoiled from him, afriad he might hit her. She looked away trying to figure out what had gotten into her. "I...I'm sorry...i guess it's this thats making me talk like this..." she motioned around them meaning the situation they were all in.

James looked at the others around him. It was a bitter sweet thing. They were all back together again, but it was horrible the way it happened. They had all become so bitter... they weren't the same anymore. James sighed and looked at them. "Nice to you guys are alive and well for the time being. What have you been up to?" What else could he say? They had to wait for the others anyway. He might as well find out what had been going on with his dear friends before his paintings took over his mind. He did miss them and their warm happy times, but he thought it was best. How was he to know everyone would drift so far apart from each other? Guilt settled over his heart again. 'I am so sorry Samantha... If I had known, I would have thrown away my paints before all this happened.'

Nova shook her head a little crimson locks falling down around her face as the wind blew softly the rustling orange and red leaves beginning to fall off of the trees. Winter was coming upon them fast. "This is just great. I won't live to see my next borthday if we can't all get along." Nova said softly to herself. She didn't mean to say it aloud but she did. Looking up at the all she squeezed her eyes shut falling to the ground her back against the oak tree as she pulled her legs to her chest she looked down at the ground.

"Selena is right about that. If we only have 17 days to live I'd rather not spend it fighting with all of you even if you were all my best friends at one time." Nova said her gaze lingering on Aiden for a moment. She didn't want to admit the fact that she used to like him. It was painful because Nova had really liked him. Thankfully she didn't like him anymore though it would have made things real uncomfortable. "My letter said that if we worked together we'd find a cure, did all of your letters say that?" Nova asked looking around at them all with wonder.

Aiden watched as everyone got defensive and seemed to mope around. Not him, no he didn't have the heart to mope. "Yeah, there is supposed to be a cure, and she wants us to work together." He laughed. "You know what, I almost don't believe her. Why poison all your friends so they can go off and cure themselves?" He found a spot on the ground and sat. It looked like it may be awhile until the rest showed up so He figured he would make himself comfortable. He looked around and his eyes landed on Selena. She was the one that hadn't changed the most. She was still the quiet overly nice girl he knew and liked from times past. It caught him off gaurd when she yelled at him. A side of her, he was sure, not too many people got the chance to see. She was still beautiful, but the girl he knew was now a wannabe, and Aiden couldn't be with a wannabe. No, he needed someone that was set on their tracks for life, like he was. 'Was is the key word their [i]friend[/].' He scorned Samantha again in his head. He was starting to think he had gone crazy, all ts talking to dead people.

Flashback

The bottle crashed to the floor as Jace read the letter. Poison? My fault? He thought shakily, placing the letter down. He hadn't thought about Samantha for a while, and now she was dead. He sat down on his bed and dropped his head in to his hands. A few tears escaped his eyes as he thought back to when they were all close friends, and he wondered if the others got letters too. "JACE!" Screamed his newest stepmother's voice, but he didn't comprehend. All that he could think was that Samantha was dead. And it had been partly his fault.


With his hands stuffed deep into his jeans pockets, he twisted around the small spider man doll. It was his little comforter and it made him feel a little better. His green hoodie with yellow stars was hanging over his head and his black converse squished into the mud of the park. If it was all true, then he had 17 days to live and his old friends would probably be in the park too. When he spotted them under an oak tree, they seemed to be arguing. He put on a cold front, not showing how he truly felt as he walked up to them. Nova was there, and his mind went back to their childhood when he used to like her a lot. However he knew that she used to like Aiden, so he just bottled up.

Nova shook her head a litlte from her thoughts of Aiden. She had used To like him. That was then she no longer felt that way. Standing up her green blue eyes hardened she sighed a little bit the wind wiping her crimson hair out like a sail of silk behind her. "Alright obviously we have all recieved the same letter I bet Talli is just running late or didn't feel like coming." Nova said addressing them all. Her voice was soft in its usual melodic form but it was also firm showing that she meant busniess.

"We All knew Samantha and we all knew that she had access to a lot of things because of all the money that she had. I believe that she poisoned us all because we were her only friends. We left her for our own selfish reasons. I for one believe that there is a cure. Samantha wouldn't have lied about that she never lied. I think she gave us 17 days so that we have time to actually find this cure. She doesn't want us to die. She wants something else. I don't know what it is but I feel like its bigger than any of us." Nova said pacing a little as she thought about it nibbling away at her bottom lip. She had known Samantha for a long time and thought she knew the girl pretty well after all Samantha didn't change at all she just killed herself.

I wish I could tell what you were thinking when you did all this. No I wish I could go back and apologize. I don't know why I went to that party but I wish I could have been there for you. Nova thought looking up at the heavens for a moment. Even though Samantha had committed suicide Nova believed that she went to the better place. A sweet soul like Samantha must have. If she didn't then the world that Nova knew was even more fucked up then she could have imagined and Nova had one of the best imaginations around.

James sighed in agreement. "Yeah. She wouldn't have lied. There is a problem though. If Talli doesn't show up, we are all screwed. We each have a peice of the puzzle. Maybe one of us should go get her." He hated to admit he really wanted to see her. He was afraid for her to. She had been quite and saw things in a dark light. He didn't want to loose another friend. He wondered how much she had changed. He remembered clearly that he had a crush on her and tried to show her how he felt. It didn't work out. Would he still like her now? He shook his head of such thoughts. All their lives were at stake. He needed to foucus on that.

Postby Talli Kile on Sun Jul 05, 2009 9:24 pm

Talli's hands trembled as she read her letter. She didn't want to think that it might be true. Licking her lips for a minute she put it down looking at the bottle absentmindedly. She knew that it was true. Samantha had been her best friend for ages and she had held on to her longer than anyone else. The girl wouldn't have lied about something like this.Talli sighed a little bit shaking her head. She was going to die. Giving a dry laugh she pulled out her razor. What better way to celebrate the coming of ones death but by adding a few more lines to the ones she already had and she did add them five more lines to the ones on her thighs. She knew that no one was going to be seeing them.

Talli shook her head forgetting the memories that had plagued her of yesterday. Coming out from behind the bushes by the oak tree Talli stood looking at them all. "No need to go and fetch me as I am already here." She said her voice hollow of any emotion. She didn't want to let them think that she was sad or anything of the likeness. She was emotionless towards what was happening."So we've all decided that Samantha is telling the truth. So why bring us here? Is part of the cure here? I don't see anything here do any of you?" Talli asked obviously angry before giving the oak tree a good kick. As she did a package dropped from the limbs falling directly into Nova's arms almost as if it had been planned like that. Seeing it made Talli widened her eyes. "So I'm a magician now too." She added hollowly.

Nova looked at the package that had fallen into her hands with wide eyes. Blinking she slowly sat back down on the ground and licked her lips. It was as if Samantha was speaking to them like some sort of ghost helping them along the way when they didn't get stuff right off the bat. "I'm going to open it." She said with determination in her voice. The package could be more poison that would kill her instantly but she wasn't thinking about that. She was thinking about the fact that it was something else from Samantha. Slowly she unwrapped it and pulled out an envelope that was inside of the box.

Dear Everyone,

If you are reading this then you have followed the intructions and made your way to the park. Inside this package there is six maps one for each of you with a specific place on it. There is also six credit cards. You will know who's are who's just by looking at them. They have $10,000 on them each. I hope that you use them wisely because if you run out of money you might find yourself stranded. The maps also have your names on them so you will know who's map is who's. The maps also have numbers on them. It would do you well to go to that number first. If you all stick together I promise you won't end up in a coffin like I did. Love, Samantha.

Nova read the letter aloud for everyone to hear before she gulped a little. She didn't like the way the letter sounded. With a shaky hand she pulled out the maps and handed them out to everyone. Talli was number 1, Jace number 2, Selena number 3, Nova number 4, James number 5, and finally Aiden was number 6. Taking another peak in the box Nova gasped a little her breathing ragged. It was obvious who the credit cards belonged to because they had pictures of Samantha and who ever they belonged to on them. Tears began to whell up in Nova's eyes. She didn't want to look at them but she really had no choice. Her hands were shaking to bad she couldn't even hold one of the credit cards before it fell back into the box. Tears clouded her eyes to where she couldn't see. "Someone else will have to..." She couldn't even speak ehr voice trembled so bad with her tears. Nova hated to seem this weak but she couldn't help herself.

Selena had been silent, listening to everyone Talli scared her a little, she always felt that way, she stepped behind Aiden a little, away from Tallie. When Nova faultered she stepped in, "I'll hand them out Nova." She touched the other girls shoulder in comfort, then picked up the box. "Talli." she said and handed the girl her card, "Aiden." one after another she named off the people she had once been so close to, giving each their card. "Jace, James...Nova..." she spoke Nova's name softly and placed the card in the other girls hand, before taking her own. She looked down at the picture and smiled. She remembered that day. The picture was of Samantha and her on the floor of her house playing a boardgame. She couldnt tell if the game was Clue or Sorry, but those were the two that they always loved to play. She remembered they'd stay up late, giggling and just being girls. Selena had always felt so confident, so...happy with Sammie...What had made her turn her back on all of that so easily? She looked down at Nova and sat with her, offering a napkin for her tears, "Its ok Nova...We're here for you." she smiled warmly. She was starting to feel more and more like her old self...Sure she was always a little nice, but...last week she wouldn't have taken a second glance at Nova...But now she smiled and stroked the girls hair. She stood and spoke again. "Well, Tallie. It seems your first on our list." she stared at the girl who had always frightened her a bit with an expectant look.

-This is the real post XD-

James took his card and looked down at it. It was of him hugging Samantha. They had been playing dress up which was the reason why he had been wearing a pink dress she had made him put on. He gave a grim smile at it. He missed her. Why had he turned his back on her? She had reached for him and he ignored her like she was nothing. He put the card away and blinked away his sadness. Then he looked up at Talli. She was number 1. They would follow her to her positon on the map. He tucked his away in his pants and waited expectingly. He glanced at Nova who was shaken. Why didn't he go to her? He had always tried to comfort them before. Ashamed at breaking apart he looked down at his feet.

Nova looked up at Selena her astounding big green blue eyes sparkling with the tears that had fallen down her pale cheeks. "Thank you." She murmered sniffing a little as she took the credit card from her. She looked at it a small smile appearing on her full lips. It was her most missed memory of her and Samantha. They were in the kitchen baking a cake from scratch. They both had on white aprons and tall chef hats. They wore the chocolate cake mix all over them and the walls along with bright smiles from their laughter. Samantha had accidently pulled the blender out of the mixing bowl before Nova had turned it off causing chocolate cake mix to be thrown everywhere. Nova touched the credit card softly. "I rememeber that day..." She said to herself softly.

Whiping away her tears Nova stood up pocketing her credit card along with her map. "Well Talli's place is first. I suggest that we go there first that is what it says to do in the letter. I don't know about all of you but if Samantha is telling us to do something I'm going to do it. She already poisoned us and now she's trying to cure us. I'll believe it." Nova said tucking a stray strand of her crimson colored hair behind one ear. Licking her lips Nova sniffed again. Crying always did this to her and during the winter it just made things worse. Going cross eyed for a moment to look at her nose Nova saw that it was indeed red like she had feared that it would be.

Talli looked down at her credit card and it was all that she could do to not give a giant sob. She had been holding her resolve this far but looking at the picture made her want to break. She and Samantha were jumping on her trampoline in the middle of a pillow fight. The pillow had burst open causing feathers to fly every where when Samantha's mom had snapped it. Talli had been mid jump a giant smile on her face while Samantha giggled crazily. Sniffing Talli didn't look at any of them instead she slowly unfolded her map. "Well sense I'm first might as well see what this is about eh?" She asked trying not to let her emotions spill over.

Looking down at the map Talli's eyes widened in surprise. It was a map of the city starting at the park. It was hand drawn and had a red line as to where they were supposed to go. Following it with her eyes Talli realized that it would lead them to the forest the place that she had talked about with Samantah the most. TAlli loved the forest and always wanted to build herself a little house in the middle of it. Blinking she looked up at everyone her blue eyes startled. "Well...we don't have to go far. We can drive to the forest in a little over half an hour." Talli told them all with a bittersweet smile.
