Introduction
"One little step for man, one huge step for mankind", is what they said when they landed on the moon in 1969, but they didn't ever think... it would lead to a war.
Now, in 2035, a series of events happened one after another. First, a hostile spaceship attacked earth, but was destroyed. From the records of its engine, which report that the engine didn't work for a long time at all, as if the spaceship was new, a theory can be brought up, that that spaceship came from somewhere close to earth. The second event is, that the moon started to lose from its brightness. Scientists aren't even close to find what is behind this.
Then, how to unveil whats behind those mysterious events? A few people were granted with a gift of special eyes which were basically meant to make them more attractive, but they have another effect... one which might be a great clue for our mystery of the moon. What the gifted humans see is TWO MOONS, one which loses its brightness, and one which becomes MORE bright as time passes.
(The gift will be called by us roleplayers "Eyes of the moon", but its unnamed in the roleplay itself. Like, non-talk lines like: the character used his eyes of the moon - are accepted, but a character can't say "I have eyes of the moon", because they are unnamed in the roleplay.)
(there aren't any supernaturals beyond that, except the "aliens", but they too, aren't REALLY supernaturals...)
You are a soldier on the front line, just above the stratosphere, with your ally soldiers in the spaceship, and a war is about to begin with an unknown force. what would you do?
("aliens" are unplayable, because we didn't define them in any way except calling them "aliens". I'll give you the fact that they are not really aliens, and they have another name unknown to earth.)
(Also, did you notice that the roleplay's picture is the 2 moons near each other?)
Take your positions, as the war is about to begin...

The nurse approached Kaguya while almost pushing Alice with purpose, and gave her the box. Kaguya then pushed the button, which opened a finger identification area on the top of the box, touched with her right finger on the area, and then, got the potion out of the box. It was in liquid form, outstanding red liquid inside a test tube. Then, Kaguya closed her eyes, as if she was going to tell a story.
"I took that elixir without knowing the rules behind it, finding out the rules only later, so I let you know before its too late... The rules of this elixir is this, in the ancient languge: 'The first time one takes it, one cannot become adult; Take it twice, and even the pain of sickness will be gone; Take it three times...', and the old page was cut off in that sentence. I didn't know if it was good or bad, and I took it three times... Now I found out I'm actually cursed with this immortality, with dark faith all the way in history, and all the way to the future. I can't be saved, at least you... Take it once, and only once; don't do the same mistake."
Meanwhile, the nurse was upset about those words. 'Why is she telling this to a human? If you're making her immortal and not me, that was acceptable still, but if you're making HER immortal already, let her do the mistake, that way we won't have much trouble...' She thought.

"You won't see the changes now except for a bit of extra energy, but- Hey, watch out how much you drink! How many times you take it depends on how many times you swallow it, not how much!" Kaguya closed her eyes and turned her face 90 degrees away, opening her eyes slowly.
"H-How many times did you take it...? I only took it three times; I don't know what will happen if you take more than three... If I'm not mistaken, a human body can't even hold the energy of more than three times! What... What if you'll die?!"
Kaguya was horrified, while the nurse almost died out of laughter.
"She did the mistake herself! One can't expect more than that from just a foolish human anyway... maybe I should have expected this result?" She chuckled.

"I..." gasped Alice. She didn't realize how many times she swallowed. Uh oh! It didn't look like she had taken that much. Suddenly, she felt funny. It was almost as if she had taken an energy drink, and was now on a caffine high. If she didn't know this was a powerful magical potion, she wouldn't have been too alarmed. It was nothing she couldn't handle. "Oh God! I feel it doing something! What's it doing?"

Kaguya was greatly releived. "PHEW... Calm down..." She told Alice to calm down, but she took a few seconds to calm herself down.
"If you took it three times, you would feel much worse than that, one of my worst memories from 1000 years ago, which still stays with me now, is the pain I went through when I took the elixir three times... ugh, it hurts... I felt like I was being electrified in water, and I couldn't move for the next 3 hours... Relax, you took it only twice. It reinforces your cells, to protect you against all diseases. Also, if someone shoots you, even if the bullet is in your heart, you won't die - instead, the damaged part will heal itself amazingly quickly, something about 5 seconds."
The nurse was very upset. 'If she didn't take it twice, I would poison her right away, that human...!' The nurse was like the native Lunarians, and even worse.

"Well, that's nice to know," Alice said with a sigh. She glanced over the nurse. She didn't like the look the alien was giving her. It was really creepy. Alice could only hope the queen had a better handle on her people than humans had on thier own. It was bad enough there were extremists on Earth. No one needed alien ones too.

"What are you looking at, human? Well, I see there is still a bit of the elixir, so hand it over to its proper owner, the queen of Luna, her highness!" The nurse said, whispering to Alice at first. Kaguya hardly heard this, but she knew that nurse wasn't going to take it with respect to her newly obtained friend.
"Nurse, you mustn't do things without respect, even if Alice is a human. That's a lesson for life for you, so be sure to remember it. About the elixir, you should give it, if you don't want to suffer from its third time like me, do you?" Kaguya responsed with a neutral as possible face.
"W-Will do, your highness. What she finds in you human I want to know..." The nurse whispered again, and this time, Kaguya heard it all.
"She is not a human anymore, my nurse. She's an immortal who will outlive even you. What I find in her is the good sides in a human - patience, care, and wits. She isn't just a normal fool like you think, she can even fix me if she truely wants to, I just gave her an infinite time to do so." Kaguya's response wasn't so harsh this time.

Alice felt faint. Had she heard correctly? Was she indeed immortal, never to die? She handed the elixer to the nurse. A million questions swirled through her head. However, she decided to wait until the Lunarian left the room. The last thing she wanted was to start an uprising on the moon.

The nurse went on her way walking fast after bowing to the queen again. Then Kaguya returned to Alice again, seeing something wrong with her.
"Hey are you okay? You can tell me what's wrong, can't you? You can have some rest in Luna, and I'll tell the ship to take off earlier if you need to arrange your thoughts or something..." Although she was an immortal, Kaguya didn't really know what was really wrong with Alice; The only thing she knew, is that it wasn't sickness.

Making sure there were no other Lunarians around, Alice sprang her question. "How come you are not like the others? All the other Lunarians have pale skin, and hair; yet you have color. It's just something I noticed that seemed different. I don't mean to pry."

"I have 2 possible explanations of this; Or its because of the elixir, or its because I have been to Earth once, and not only for a couple of days, it was on Earth for years. Don't worry, you aren't prying until I say so. So it really was disorder in your thoughts, huh... Well, if you come back to Earth now, it will be daytime, and you won't be able to sleep properly, so why not sleeping on Luna?" Kaguya really wanted Alice to stay with her, and as real as Kaguya wanted the reason for her staying to be, it sounded like an excuse.

"So you're a Lunarian, just like them?" asked Alice. She didn't feel like returning to Earth just yet. She wanted to get a few things cleared up before she returned to get her affairs in order.

"The truth is... that I don't even remember if I'm a human or a Lunarian... The first thing I remember from myself, is my time on Earth, when an old couple took care of me, but they couldn't be my parents, even though I wasn't a child back then... Ah, You got me thinking, my friend, even I need a rest now... Would you please assume what you wish about my race?" Kaguya was lying about needing rest, but she didn't lie in the answer.

"My apologies," Alice said. She knew she had reached a sensitive spot and decided not to pursue it. "I guess I could use some rest too."

"Good, my bed is in the floor below us. This is also very useful when I don't want noise here on this floor. Come to think about it, that bed is very big, it only seems full when my hair is all over it... I think we both will fit in there, if my hair will be out of it, the floor is pretty clean anyway. Shall we go then? As a human, Alice, it will be easy for you to sleep on Luna, because the gravity here is not as strong as on your planet." She tried to get up from her throne, but she tripped from her long dress. "Immortal or not, it still hurts..."
She got up again, and started walking, happy as she goes, towards the elevator.

Alice followed the queen out of the throne room. She was starting to feel a little better, and not as scared as she had first been. The queen didn't seem as mad now. In fact, she was acting more and more as child. Alice wondered how old Kaguya had been when she stopped aging and became an immortal queen of the Lunarians. Probably in her teens, she was as giddy as a school girl.

When they got to the floor below the throne room, Kaguya walked straight into the bed, which was in the far right corner of the room... Well, it wasn't that far because the bed itself was very big. Except for the bed, the room was quite empty, with only a chair and a desk with some papers on it, and a drawer built in it, all that in the other far corner. The walls of that room were all painted in blue, light in some areas, and dark in the other. Kaguya laid down on the bed, and drifted with her thoughts to somewhere else, probably to her far, far, past.

Alice sat down in the chair and let herself rest a while. She lost track of time as she watched Kaguya seemingly drop off to sleep. She glanced over at the papers on the desk, but could not read the writing on it. Presently, she began to doze.

Kaguya opened her right eye suddenly, seeing Alice sitting on the chair near the desk. She tried to sound sleepy, and said:
"Its useless, you can't read it, come here and rest instead maybe...? I've already moved my hair out of the way, theres plenty of space..."

Kaguya turned her head towards Alice, and giggled slightly. "I guess thats what happens when I play with those humans too much, huh... Well, lucky for us that the gravity here isn't that much compared to Earth." After those words, she just remained with her right eye opened, watching as Alice slept. After 3 hours, she did fell asleep too though.

Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
Well, let's see: we solved the mystery of the aliens, the disappearing moon, the identity of the alien queen, and averted war. What else do we do?
Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
Why I didn't post last night: I DID have a post ready to be posted, but my screen froze and I couldn't do anything but to restart my computer. Then my computer went crazy, and every time I tried to make it work, it froze before I could to anything - not google, not connect to the internet, don't even talk about getting a new post ready. so here I am, posting THIS before my computer will freeze up on me again... and trying to post.
Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
i think you're going to have to play the part of the messenger who discovers the proper legend, because the only thing I know about Japan is samauri, ritual suicide, Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, and anime.
Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
It depends on how you define "misbehave". They think highly of themselves (especially "her highness", who really just played with you just now, you could see it in the message - "Now now, didn't I tell you the ship carried no weapons? Did I lie that much? haha!"), and they sometimes show it in front of your face, but they won't really misbehave (shout, insult back, and a reduce in cooperation) until someones insults them or abuses them.
By the way, thats what you just did -w- .

Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
just a warning, Alice intends to torture the aliens and use harsh interogation techniques if they do not cooperate or if they insist on being stubborn and belittling. She is starting out soft, but will get more and more abusive the more the aliens misbehave.
Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
I dunno what happened to my computer, but I can't view that... Well, every character in every one of my roleplays, I first try to draw him/her in my head, and then try to get the situations going, all in my head. I suck at real drawing by the way. Really dunno what happened to the picture, I searched in google "chan.sa (*I forgot what was here, only the starting 2 letters...*), and I couldn't enter even the site the picture was on... :S
Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
Ok, time to answer your biggest question so far - How the hell the "ET"s look like?
Now, although Rio's not there, probably sleeping on the chair, I'll tell you what exactly happened without using your character at all, and use the least amount of time in the story itself (That so you could react (or punch them) of course)
Just informing you here. The aliens' look will be a clue non the less, but it won't give us exactly why they are attacking Earth or something major like that. Still, a surprise + a clue. After I post on the roleplay (post 21st), tell me what you thought ;) .

100?!?!?! wow, thats hot! well, my weather condition says 77-91 , so I'm not better by far...
Anyway, expect a huge surprise from how the "aliens" look. Well, it won't be THAT much of a surprise, because I already told you they are not REALLY aliens... But I don't know what you've planned about their look, so I dunno...
Heh, taking her anger... Well, I can't afford to tell you more at the time, so lets post to see! To the moon!

Lol, YOU tell ME about the huge distance? Most of my friends from the US connect in hours like 1AM to 3AM in the early morning! XD I can't even post in their time!

Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
time zone +2 is written in the bottom of my screen as " UTC + 2 hours ", is that helping?
if not, its a little bit east of the Mediterranean sea.

Where is time zone +2? Mountain Standard Time runs along the spine of the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Madre Occidental in western North America.
Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
I'm in time zone +2, WITH Daylight Saving time, and now, its 9:13 PM (the time I posted this post).
Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
Is that Mountain Standard or Pacific time? Or some other time zone? It's 12:03 Mountain Standard Time (actually, I'm an hour behind because my state doesn't observe Daylight Savings time)
Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
Fridayyyy, I'll be able to be on until 11PM instead of just until 9:30. And you're on now, so we can post one after another. Opportunity - found!
Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
Ok, anywayyyyyyyyyyy, that battle lasted one post, so no big deal.
By the way, that ship isn't large, but it was bigger than a fighter for sure, bigger than the 2 fighters together. But still, not very large. The American and Russian spaceships were bigger than Rio's ship.
Now, I'll take your advice, and relax a bit with the "hurrying for the end" thing, and proceed with some other stuff ^^' .

Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
I don't even know if the space ship is the size of a rocket capsule or the size of the Enterprise. I thought Alice would be sitting a row behind Rio or something, making it easy for him to over hear her.
Re: [OOC] Never die, to the moon!
Sorry, sorry, so I'm moving fast after all huh...
I thought she hated the pilot though ^^
Also, for my last post, I planned Rio giving Alice's question an answer by talking from the pilot's room to "no one" too, but somehow, I didn't do it... I'm not completely sure what were my reasons now, except for the size of our spaceship, which can be ignored if we know our ship had the pilot's microphones on all the time... so I'm not sure what were my reasons.
So after that carrier and all of its ships are down, we can do character development, and who knows, maybe I'll give a hint that will get us closer to the solution? (well, I DO know, but to keep it secret I put the sentence like this :D)
Ok, NOW I didn't miss your post, and I can even post today once more too, so... here we go! to the moon! (again, not really ^^' ... at least not that fast. By the way, am I being too hyper or what?)
