Imagine that the world is made out of love. Now imagine that it isn’t.

The world of Storybook Cove is divided into four areas; each fairytale belonging to one of these parts. North was the home of Animal Tales. Where the main character of the story is some kind of animal or mythical creature. South the home of Magic; the stories where magic is the main factor instead of just a tool to progress the tale. For example, "Rumpelstiltskin" and "The Princess and the Frog. Next we have the East, the land of monsters. Ghouls, ogres, witches, trolls you name it. The part of Storybook where stories like "Jack and the Beanstalk" and "Hansel and Gretel" reside. Now the last area, the west, the land of royalty. Princesses, Princes, Kings, Queens, and Knights. Stories where commoners marry into royalty or characters discovering they are royal.
Now, I know what you are thinking. That is a lot, how could they all possible get along?! Well, they get along quite well I must say. And despite roles, everyone loved the world of Storybook Cove. Well…that was until they came.
Like a thief in the night
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
They came like a shadow quiet but cold. They said nothing nor greeted anyone. Their story was unknown and ending unheard. They lived amongst the other fairytales in peace for so long, so no one had bothered questioning the strangers. So when the strangers had moved, it came with no real surprise.
It started off as a simple space nothing to big. They took over the center of Storybook Cove, creating their own little area, separate from the original four. Though there were many who protested and disagreed with what they were doing, at the time it seemed they meant no harm. So the four sides pushed their lands back to make room for this new land, the home of the Cursed.
Soon the strangers once again blended into Storybook Cove with their new home, and the land of the cursed became merely another piece of the fairytale world. And harmony continued...if only that was the truth. If only. No, something was wrong, and maybe not everyone realized it but enough did. Sadly, by the time these suspicious fairytales reacted it was far to late. Fate had already been set in motion and the four lands could only standby as one by one each of them fell.

Imagine a story where everything goes wrong, where everyone has their back against the wall, where everyone is in pain and acting selfishly because if they don’t, they’ll die.

It wasn't long until all of the North land had disappeared, replaced by the now growing Cursed land and erased from the minds of those who lived in Storybook Cove. But the chaos didn’t cease there, it only continued to grow. Next the East, the land of Monsters, was taken over. But unlike the North, the East wasn’t erased, but instead the cursed land, in one huge swoop, enslaved the lives of the monsters and killed off all those who were utterly useless to them or dared to resist their reign. It was at this time the fairy tales started to figure out the tragedy that was befalling their world. But by then only two lands were left, the South and the West, and the world of Storybook Cove had not yet seen the true powers of the cursed.
It was a full out battle now as the South and West combined together to protect what little they all had left, which wasn't much. But the Cursed land was only growing and lead by their Leader, The One Who Destroys All, their reign was approaching quickly. The once beautiful world of Storybook Cove no longer shined with its everlasting brilliance, but now was taken over by a grey cast so sinister that it even started polluting the minds of those who were still free from the grasp of the Cursed. With their minds and bodies growing weaker and weaker, and the impending enemy continuing to grow stronger, those left of Storybook Cove knew something had to be done if they wished to survive.
So the fairy tales hatched a plan, a plan which would preserve at least some of the lives of this once magical and brilliant world. Using the magic of the South, the fairy tales began to create a portal, to where, no one knew. But they didn't have the time to worry about every single detail, the Cursed were approaching fast and they could hold them off no longer.
Preparations for the journey was finally completed, and as those who were left of the residents of Storybook were about to go through the portal, they were attacked. OWDA and the Cursed stormed in capturing and killing every fairytale in sight; no one spared from their cruel extermination. As the Cursed drew closer a small group of fairytales, those who were left over from the ongoing attack, ran through the portal, escaping the wrath of the Cursed. To chase after them OWDA sent a group of his cursed ones to capture them. But what no one knew was that the world those who went through the portal are going to wind up in is a place where fairytales don't exist. Planet earth, the world of reality. And what these group of Fairytales and Cursed was that fate was about to pull a cruel joke.

Imagine a story, not of good against evil, but of need against need against need, where everyone is at cross-purposes and everyone is to blame.

...
Awaiting the change of lights, you went over your daily schedule. It was just another typical day and the usual events was to be followed.
Letting out a sigh, the light flashed green and the people pushed you along. Walking against the crowd, you spotted something in the distance, a shadowy figure smiling at you. Noise was all around you so you couldn't make out the words it was saying. Memorized you began to read its lips. Mouthing out the words, trying to make out what was being said past all the noise. As you were about to say the message out loud, a bright light filled your vision, and everything went white.
Lying there paralyzed, everything moved in slow motion. The people, who surrounded your vision, spoke in slow sentences. Even the rain had slowed down to a turtle-like pace. Turning your head you saw that the person was no longer there, and their words slipping from your memory... "Do you wish to live?"
An umbrella was held over your paling face, as the one who asked the question repeated herself, "Do you wish to live?" Maybe it was the pain that overtook your whole body, but for some reason something inside you wouldn't allow to say anything but..."Yes."
As if in response, your heart started to slow down and the air around you thinned. The person who was holding the umbrella had disappeared, and everything was going at normal speed. Gasping for air you hold out your hand, toward the greying sky. The cold rain mixed with your salty hot tears ran down your face. No words could escape past your lips; slowly you descended into darkness.
Empty. Floating in an ocean the color of darkness. It wasn’t terrible, but something felt off…you wouldn’t move, or it was better to say that you couldn’t move. You started to wave your hands all around in a panic, soon a strong force pulled you under. Gasping for breath under the pitch water, memories flashed before you. Some brought feelings of sadness, others anger, and many of happiness. But what was strange was that none of these memories were yours. These images were of someone else's life or something else's life, pictures straight out of a fairytale. But you couldn't look away, you were drawn to them rather they made you happy or sad, they pulled on you. Lifting your arms you reached for them, for the memories. Before you could touch them, right in front of your eyes they were ripped to shreds. A loud wail escaped your lips, as your whole being was consumed in raging water.
Waking up you gasped for air. Once in control you realized that you are lying on a dirt ground. There you are surrounded by three others, you sat there processing the information you just acquired. These eight innocent children, their lives will forever be changed, and their fate set in stone. As they were happy in one world, and now returning to their original world, fate had turned them against each other. Oh, how life has hurt them so. Lover against lover, sibling against sibling, and friend against friend fate has done them a cruel injustice.
Direct all reservations to the Reservation thread. There you will see a form to fill out for your character reservations. If questions arise concerning the content on the reservation form than please pm me OR state them in the Q&A thread and I will answer them as quickly as possible. Please do not post them in the general OOC thread. This is not first come first serve, or only one character per person, you will compete. If that doesn't agree with you I don’t think this rp is for you. Once reservations have been made and you have been accepted you will have 10 hours to submit a WIP. Following from there I will announce in the announcement thread how much time you will have to fully complete the character once every role is taken, failure to complete character(s) results in immediate removal, so please pay attention to the announcement thread.
Remember, you’re in fairytale world so the characters should have a certain theme to them or at least look fairytaleish (I understand this isn’t a real word). No theme should be the same as someone else’s. Also make sure age and appearance match.
This is self-explanatory. Don’t join if you can’t join.
Please, oh please be literate. It's fine if english isn't your first language, but make an attempt to look over your words. If you need help, you can always ask me. Also, I'm not picky about post length, BUT don't write a sentence when someone gives you a good size post.
All other information and etc will be posted in the Announcement thread.
