Quixotic Souls

Quixotic Souls

0 INK

A group of people enter a new world after death. Lacrimosa, as some call it, is anything BUT Hell, Heaven or Limbo. Yet, at the same time, it is. {ONE SPOT OPEN}

2,360 readers have visited Quixotic Souls since Lamia_Era created it.

Introduction

{THEdamned}
This all started a while ago, but I don't know how far ago. I've lost track of time. However, I do know this: it's year 2015 & I'm dead.

I was the first one to fall into a deep, painful coma & I was the first one to be engulfed into the unknown. Other people followed me, but not at all willingly. It was distressing for all of us, but I was the one that was cursed into continuous torment. The rest were allowed to linger around blindly—at least they got that freedom.


{DREAMYtimes}
2013 was a year that many people saw as cursed. A vast amount of children & young adults alike disappeared completely--as if their bodies simply vanished from the face of the Earth, without leaving so much as a thread of evidence to help them. They were just gone.

The 'underground government' had found out, through theory, that they could create incredible humans… after toying with their DNA, of course. To test out the plan that would "for sure improve their power," they had to collect the specimen. In other words, poor impotent humans--preferably little ones.

They turned to mostly orphanages but with the help of those with power on their hands, they were able to 'collect' from other places as well. Everything was covered up; if anything leaked out, a slap of money took care of it right away. So because of this cruelty, blood pooled easily.

Many people died after not being able to handle the strange DNA that was injected into their system. However, there were some that could, in fact, take it in & let it make changes to their bodies. The amount of successful 'specimen' was little compared to the amount of people they had gathered up, but the scientists behind it all were happy nonetheless.

Soon after, things went wrong. The other side of the government found out through a broken leak & the kidnapped people were put into intensive care instantly, but they all fell into a coma upon touching the hospital beds. The sick people behind it all were dragged into interrogation & their death sentences.

& the 'patients'? They didn't awake from their coma; instead, they died. They didn't go to Heaven, Hell, or even Limbo. They landed on a world that seemed to hold anything & everything within it. Almost like a place where all the dreams & nightmares dripped into. It was their new home, a place that the dark organization didn't know of whatsoever, & a place to perhaps rest after so much pain.

{THEfacts}
There are three types of beings in this RP: the Fallen, the Damned & the Native.
- the Fallen: the humans that were experimented with; those that fell into a new world.
- the Damned: the humans that were experimented with. However, these are the ones that went wrong, but still fell into the same world that the others did. They all have one thing that makes them different from the rest: a curse. They want to destroy anything that's the opposite of what they are or that contribute to their curse. It could be something like continuously retaining nightmares & wanting to destroy whatever they see in their dreams… to hating anything adorable. There can only be three of these.
- the Native: the creatures that have never been human, although might look half human. They've lived there for all their lives & may or may not have special powers. There can only be three of these.
- The new world can hold anything within it; castles, an underground world, a magical garden, amazing seas. In turn, there's also other creatures that live there. From squirrels to fairies; from dolphins to a magical being.
- It might seem a bit odd, but your charii doesn't have to fall into the new world with hospital gowns. Whatever the picture is wearing, our charii can wear that as well. We don't want half-naked people running around with strange powers.

#, as written by Tanman
Liri had remained silent for a time, her initial questions being unanswered by the witch as she was drowned out by more important issues. She had the feeling that she was purposefully ignored, which was one of her pet peeves. Normally, that would set her off and make her fairly mad, especially with the way both Vin and ‘Red’ as she came to think of him were given full attention. However, being both in a strange new place, and amongst people she barely knew; getting mad at them and offending her only possible help would leave her without any answers or help. Not the best situation. As such, while the witch attended to Vin and Red’s personal problems, Liri merely folded her arms and pouted some, unable to completely contain her sour mood as the attention remained away from her. For the briefest of moments, one might have noticed how she flickered translucent, but that lasted only a moment.

After witnessing the impressive healing agency of the plant upon Vin, Liri was feeling a tad guilty for believing her own issues were more serious then bullet wounds, lowering her head. She was being selfish really – She wasn’t the only one who had issues that needed resolving, and on top of that, these people had probably had a harder time getting here. But still… She wanted to know why she was here! Heck, how she got here? She didn’t even know what happened!

"So, if you don't mind me asking, I'm curious, what are your names?" The question came from Vin, Liri snapping her head up, having been lost in her thoughts again. It was the perfect opportunity to redirect some of the attention her way, and some small talk wouldn’t be bad while the witch was dealing with Red.

“My name’s Liri. Liri Thatcher if you feel like being formal. It’s nice to meet some nice, helpful people for once.” She glanced over at the Silver haired fellow with a bit of a snide glare, indicating that he didn’t meet that expectation.

Siiver sees Liri shoot him the glare and he sighs to himself. He kicked at the floor lightly with his heal a few times and looks and Vin, "name is Siiver." He say in his strange tone that could only be explained as angry mixed with monotone. He looks at her for a moment then looks straight ahead. Te girl had asked his name was, and he said it, until she asked otherwise, he felt no reason to say more.

He felt kinda out of place at the moment, like he was a bug in a room full of frogs. He couldn't understand why it felt like this, but he was sure he had never felt that way before, or at least he thought that was true. He looked at the people in the room, they all seemed nice, so he couldn't really understand why he felt against them all.

Vin beamed at the two that just introduced themselves and stood up and pretended to curtsy once more. "Well hello Liri and Siiver, pleasure to meet you," she told them and sat back down on the chair, crossing one leg over the other. Her eyes darted around to the others outside and thought they would introduce themselves in their own time.

Her eyes wandered to the outside of the window again, curious. She really wanted to explore the new world she was in and saw people that would do it with her. She was certain most of them would want to come, they had to be curious! Well that was what her logic argued with her. She sighed and smiled again, still looking on the outside. "Who wants to go explore? Well, check out what this place has to offer? I mean, that would be cool eh?" She said dreamily and smiled. She was excited to go out.

"Please?" She added in and giggled a little, she was hoping they would say yes.

"Why you're being chased?" the Pythoness echoed before pondering his questions for a moment. She wasn't a fortune-teller & she couldn't seek for that sort of information without... preparations. However, considering that he's a fire elementalist, she guessed that water elementalists were after him because of their obvious differences. "I don't know who you are exactly, for I've just met you. I don't know the answer to the rest of your questions, but everything happens for a reason. I believe you were brought here for a reason. Also, if your hunters come here, I won't hesitate to take action," she replied with a kind expression.

Then, she turned to Liri & nodded in acknowledgement. "The Records is a place within Aventurine City, just north of here & by Eternity Woods. It's a place that gives you information about others, yourself & this world. I recommend going there if you have anymore questions to ask. Plus," she paused to look at Vin, "it's quite the chance to explore Lacrimosa, as well. I'm sure I have a map around here somewhere."

The Pythoness looked back at Liri & crossed her arms, her complexion level. "You cannot go back. There's no 'they' & there's no 'me.' All of you, except for two beings in here, were placed here & I suggest that you stay together for a while. There's strength in numbers... My dear, this is your home now."


Iris looked at Liri & Siiver with a smile & a nod. "Hello ~ My name's Iris if I haven't mentioned it before." She wondered what their powers were & decided to ask later; however, when she remembered Liri's previous words, she wondered if she even had a power. Had she not been experimented with? Or did that have nothing to do with it in the first place? She normally would have questioned her reason for falling into Lacrimosa like they had, but she remembered the Witch's words: everything happened for a reason.

"If I may, I would like to ask a few more questions. I too would like to explore, but I want to know two things first. One, may I ask for your name? You've helped us so much & we still don't know your name. Also... this stone, what is it for?" the young lady with the heterochromatic eyes asked, her fingers brushing the stone atop her lap during her last question.


"Ah... My name is Cossette," the Pythoness replied with a smile on her lips. She then walked towards the young Witch & slowly took the stone from her. "This is a rather large one but after you gain more control over your powers, you'll be able to make them even smaller &... stronger. They don't have much of a purpose, especially when you have other powers. However, for fire, you can keep warm with it & you can do this."

Once the last word rolled off her tongue, Cossette gracefully tossed the clear stone into her fireplace. It exploded, tearing the stone apart & sending a multitude of sparks about. She controlled the reaction by raising her hand & facing her palm straight at the hollowed part of her home, preventing the fire to spread. The stone that remained rested with the ashes & if there had been more wood, a fire would've certainly grown. "Comes in handy with those that cannot control the fire element. Also, this can be done with any other element."

Liri was surprised when the witch suddenly redirected attention back to her, explaining both the records and their location. From the sounds of things, it would be relatively close to the house, and they’d be much more capable of helping then Cosette as she would become to be known. Not that Cossette hadn’t gone out of her way already, healing Vin, telling them all this, and it sounded like she may even have a map for them. The next few words directed at Liri however, sent a bit of a chill through her body, despite the attempt by the witch at comforting her.

There was no return. She was stuck here - wherever here was. Surely there had to be some sort of mistake… She was just a regular girl. Sure, she’d gotten wildly drunk, but the people here had been through something completely different to her. They’d been some sort of scientific experiment. Why had she been selected to enter this world? It didn’t make any sense!

As Iris spoke, Liri restrained a comment about the girl’s name, instead politely nodding back, trying not to stare at the dual-eyed nature of the girl. She was given an easy distraction, as Cossette demonstrated the power sealed within that stone, Liri flinching at the explosion. Localised fireworks were pretty neat, as were most of the things Liri had seen so far. Everyone here, with the exception of Siiver and herself, seemed to have some sort of power. Judging by what the witch had said they’d need them and each other in future. After all, Liri had her doubts that she could make her way to the Records on her own. It seemed she’d need to use these people and get this whole problem sorted out at that Records place.

“Alright then, it seems it’s settled.” Liri spoke up, eager to take command and get the group rolling.

“We’ve all got to stick together if we’re going to get through this, and it’s clear that if we’re going to explore and work out what’s going on we need to head to the Records.” Liri paused as she thought through her next words carefully.

“So, who’s with me?”
