Richard walked into the house with Briar. He looked around at the house as he listened to the message that Briar played on the machine. Her parents would be really happy that she had come home. But seeing as the time they wouldn't be back anytime soon. He brought Vii over to the couch Briar had indicated and layed her down on the couch. He sighed as Briar asked what they should do. "I really don't know what to do. She looks uninjured at least, so I don't think anything like first aid is going to work. I think she probably needs some rest." After stating the obvious Richard glanced around the room he had been let into. It seemed like a nice house. Nothing fancy, but well used. He liked it. His house was constantly a mess. "So his is your house?" He asked absently.

Briar nodded. "For now, at least. I'm moving out as soon as possible." Her hands seem to wander as she sat down on another couch. They reached through the cushions to pull out a notebook, colors and pencil included. A small smile slipped onto her face as she quickly sketched the ballroom scene and the two hanging from a tree. Briar flipped the page after the outlines were done. "I hope you don't mind if I draw you, Richard." She smiled benevolently and used a pencil to draw a rough portrait of him, going over it again to add details and finesse.

"Oh!" Her head shot up. "I almost forgot. Would you like to use the phone?"

Richard looked as Briar started to draw him. He looked over and confirmed "Yeah, I don't really mind" He figured that his process usually takes a while so he began to sit down, until the realization came over him that he should probably remain standing, for the sake of the picture. Richard's head was still spinning from the day's earlier events. He just decided to remain standing there awkwardly as Briar sketched him. It felt kind of wierd being sketched, like taking a picture and people telling him to move his face to the left or to the right, except nobody was doing that. Soon, a realization came over Briar. She asked if he wantd to use the phone. Well, he probably shoudl return to his house soon, he had to see the status of whatever happened there. But he soon decided to surprise them. He would just show up at the door. It would be nice to be home again. But also it wouldn't hrt to stay here and talk to Briar some more. He hated to admit it but this was probably the most he had talked with somebody at one time, especially a former stranger, at on etime since he had moved to Manchester.

Lionel had turned a corner and walked into an alleyway, not something a normal person would do considering he could be wanted as far as he knew, amnesia was the first thing he had noticed after he calmed down and it seemed a good idea not to get involved with anything too big.
"Hey! help me please!" a young voice yelled, maybe no older than 14. wasting no time Lionel ran towards the voice trying to pinpoint it as best he could. hearing the sound of a dozen switch blade knives it became apparent that he had been lured into a trap. a man slightly younger than himself walked into view with a knife and a small tape recorder playing the voice of a small boy crying for help while a dozen or so yobs followed behind him. turning around there was another wall of them behind himself.
"Your money or your guts, what's it gonna be?" the man said threateningly.
"hmm lets see... I think, your life!" Lionel yelled as he rushed at his assailant, somehow through sheer luck his fists had turned to fiery brimstone again and he made no reservations to use them against these pathetic yobs. he punched the leader in the abdomen and nearly sent him flying while the fire burned away flesh and cauterized it afterwards. A small barrage of punches later the leader lay dead in a bloody heap, it had been too quick for his gang to do anything.
"you men will redeem yourselves or die as well" Lionel threatened. there were many nods of agreement and many more people fleeing for their lives.

Briar didn't even look up from her sketch as Richard stood. She waved her hand, motioning him to sit. "I don't need you to pose, I've got it in my head." Her pencil hand pointed at her head. "Are you planning on staying the night? You can, if you wish. It is getting rather late."

She propped her feet on a ottoman as she finished up. Flashing Richard a smile, she pulled out a black colored pencil. "I'm soory I'm being such a bad host. I don't usually get company. Would you like anything? Food? Drinks? A deck of cards?"

Richard sat down as Briar indicated him too. But when she offered for him to stay he shook his head. "I really should go home. My family will want to know I'm safe. After all, I've been gone for quite a while. Although, really, I appreciate the offer, Briar." He smiled at her then saw out of the corner of his eyes Vii laying on the couch. "Do you know what day it is, by the way? Because we'll need to go to school tomorrow if neccessary. If there is school tomorrow, tell me how Vii is then, and if there isn't... I'll walk over here. Sound good?"

Vii sat up from her spot on the couch, stifling a yell when she saw Richard and Briar near her. She put a hand on her forehead and fell back, sighing. "What happened? Why am I- No, where am I?" Her eyes closed, but underneath they darted about, confused. She had such a headache. "Augh.." She muttered, rubbing her skin. Vii was tired, so tired...

But no she had to stay awake and find out where she was and why. It was probably safe to guess she was in one of their homes, but which? Frowning, Vii relaxed. As long as her eyes were closed she couldn't see the shadows.

Briar offered Vii a small, kind smile when she woke up. "Chill - you're at my house. You fainted after battling the dar- shadow monster." She figured it was probably wisest not to directly name the thing, as it might trigger trauma or something.

"So, you can stay the night if you want, Vii. Tomorrow's a Monday, but I doubt school will care we'll miss one more day after the time we've been gone." She shrugged at Richard. "Looks like she's fine. We should probably report our kidnapping to the police. They might want to know. There were more of us, after all. Can-" Briar paused, unsure of how to continue. "Did you find you can do anything special, Richard?"

Richard looked at Vii as she got up. She was awake already? That was good. He walked back over to the couch and knelt down. "You okay? You got knocked out." But at the same time Briar had brought something up. They probably should tell the police. There was probably a missing person's for all of them. Knowing his parents there would at least for him. He waited for Briar to finish before responding. "You're right, we probably should go to the police about this. After all, we've been missing for... a while. I can't even tell how many days it's been. But as for strange things... there's one thing. I... bent a steel door. I know it sounds crazy but after I go tout of the restraints of that... place. The door was locked though. And I punched it, and it bent. I don't know how it happened, it just... did." As Richard related this story he looked down at his bruised knuckles from the same time.

Vii sat up in puzzlement. "Bent a steel door? Sounds like some kind of illusion to me. Are you sure that it was pure steel?" The girl had some doubts about her ability to mobilize, but she stood. Hand to her forehead, she looked around for the shadow-thing before taking a step.

"Thank you very much for bringing me here, Briar, and carrying me, Richard. But I think I'd better go home. My parents must be so frightened." The tall girl grinned and stumbled to the door. "See you at school soon!" And she was gone.

Vii walked home alone amongst the early morning. She found herself enveloped in a warm hug she had missed before she finished knocking on the door, and her mother was sobbing. The events happened fast, too fast, but she thought the police were called and everything. Exhausted, Vii went to bed around 6, her mother still crying.

Richard scratched the back of his head in befuddlement. "Yeah..." He started "I still must've been seeing things. I mean, a pure steel door? That's... That's... That's crazy." He laughed nervously about the thought and said bye to Vii as she left, hoping she would be alright. "Well." He said to Briar "I guess I should go too. After all, I don't know what my family's going to think and... frankly I miss them..." He trailed off somewhat, thinking. "I know!" He said looking up excited "Could I come over after school tommorrow? I'd bet it would be nice to have company after being alone so long..." Richard shook his head reprimanding himself "What am I doing? We're home right? So... See you at school tommorrow, Briar. I'll look for you."

With that Richard waved as he left Briar's house withone last wave back to Briar. But that door still haunted him. An illusion, right? It must've been. Nobody can bend a steel door. It's impossible. But it was REAL. That's how he escaped. It couldn't have been an illusion... Oh well. He was home.

As he entered his house he was greeted with tears and astonishment. And after surviving the interrogation of what happened from his family and their sympathy (Which didn't really help, as it was already over, but a nice gesture nonetheless) he retreated to his room that had been left intact. He lay down on is bed, which seemed so comfortable after such a long time, and drifted into the best sleep he'd had in a LONG time.

Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

I er, left it for dead, er, too. Sorry. But I posted!


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Ah... Sorry I hadn't posted in a LONG time. I had kinda left this RP for dead. I assume others did so too though. You might want to PM some of them Music, telling them that we're trying to breathe life into this again.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Sorry shinigamivixen, but signups are long over. Also, many of the people as part of this roleplay have stopped posting and disappeared. Including the people who I needed to post in order to respond, which is one reason I haven't posted. o_O

If you want, I guess you can submit a char sheet; just PM me if you do.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

im tempted to join but with my exams coming up i might be a little late with the bio. T.T But can i reserve the wind element?


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Okay, Okay! I posted! Sorry about the wait - Vacation!


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Nah. I described it a bit in the last post. It's just a big grey house on a street that is just a short walk in the woods away from the school.

@Lightning: I'm waiting for Celetar to post, so sorry if you're getting impatient.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

It is currently Sunday morning. Your characters should take the day to get reaquainted with family and report that 'something' happened to the police. Although, considering all the weird powers that they're beginning to notice, they perhaps should just say that they've been kidnapped and not get too specific about what actually happened.

Okay, I'll give her a house in a bit. I was under the impression that Briar lived on a street corner somewhere, so feel free to correct me.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Yes, I happen to do that often. As my sister puts it, I 'have mad skillage.'

Oh, and Music? Briar doesn't have a house yet. Do you think you could make one?


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Wow, feral, you called that. I looked on right after I saw your post and celetar had posted.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Yeah, I'm waiting for celetar too. I'll tell her next time I see her, unless she posts today. Which she probably will, only because I said I would talk to her, henceforth... oh, nevermind.

What day is it? Should the characters go to school after being missing for a while or no? Personally, I'm going to send Briar. Her parents don't really care.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

It's pointless for me to post anything right now. I have to wait for people before moving time along... :/ Andrew's at home, so it'd be kinda monotonous to post as him, and I'm waiting on mrbeanerboy for this AND another roleplay.

So, this is madness... we can fix it, though, as long as we stay dedicated.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Yeah, I'm waiting on celetar. I can't really do anything until she posts about her hallucination behind my head.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Ahhh dis is bad, I'm waiting on everyone now and I can't do anything else until some more people post.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

It's alright. It makes sense what you said and did. I don't think any of us can control our powers yet, and you did try to clue us in as much as you possibly could.

On a completely unrelated note I'm glad that the chara slots have filled and this is finally getting rolling!


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Yes, exactly. Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I didn't want to control your characters and Briar hasn't learned how to see into her accidental illusions yet.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Hey, Faralfairy! Just read your latest post. And with the staring around in wonder, did you mean to say you used the illusion power for the scene you described?


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

Hi, it's your extremely busy GM! I've been trying to work on some RL stuff. I'll have a post up soon. If I get lax, feel free to PM me. Sometimes I forget stuff.

As for the antagonist role, yeah, that would actually be great. Add some conflict. Maybe he can get another character or two on his team.

Just so everyone's aware, I don't have a specific plot planned, so feel free to do what you like. If you do something that's not allowed, I'll kindly let you know.


Re: [OOC] Elemental Decay

where is Everyone? I have been waiting all day for another post and we have 9 guys!

Oh yea would it be much of a problem if Lionel fell into a antoganist of anti-hero role?
