Introduction
Co-Creator:Rosabella
Set in the medieval land of Gratidia with cascading waterfalls, towering mountains, and fields and fields of tropical flowers as far as the eyes can see. Gratidia seems like the ideal place, an Eden if you will. Unfortunately, like most things, everything is not as it seems, and danger lurks around every corner. New and not so friendly creatures called humans,have began showing up in Gratidia, just along the border. How far will the Natives go to defend their turf? Nobody knows. But, what they do know is that they don't have much time before the creatures begin invading the land.
Natives include faeries, nymphs, elves, witches, and mermaids.
FAERIES
Faeries are small, standing only about 3-4 inches tall, and weighing no more then a few ounces. They have wings and dress in special clothing designed by the elves.
Faeries are kind and will not try to harm you, and will offer assistance if you ask.
All faeries have a special, elemental based power.
Land-Radella, a small, majestic plot of land shaded by the 'mother tree' their life-source. Flowers, and toad stools cover the ground, while small creatures flit around and birds soar.
NYMPHS
Nymphs are also small and can range from a few inches tall to 4 feet in height. They age irregularly i.e. a one year old nymph is like an 8 year old child. They wear whatever nature has granted them, whether that be a few leaves, or a pelt, or nothing at all.
Nymphs are cunning, and cruel, it would be wise to stay away from them.
Nymphs are not born to parents, but are born to either a stream, river, tree, flower, or the sunshine itself, thus their behavior depends on the kind of object they were born to. I.E. a nymph born to a rose will be lustful, and try to persuade you to sleep with them rather then do what you're doing.
Land-Avalon, a dusky place where mist floats along the ground seemingly smothering all those who enter, and small, glowing eyes peek out from the blackness.
ELVES
Elves are tall, and lean, and most are very agile. They also age irregularly, as they are immortal. They wear light tunics, and leggins with moccasins.
Elves are distinguished and refined. They may or may not help you depending on your situation.
Land-Alerus a majestic city, surrounded by huge, white marble walls, trimmed in gold. Their very streets are lined in jewels and speckled in silver. The Elvish is very much like that of a human kingdom, but perfected to the highest degree.
WITCHES
Witches are hit or miss. They are either unnaturally beautiful, or hideously disgusting.
Again..you either find unbearably nice witches, or disgustingly evil.
Land-A nasty area, equivalent to today's slums, in the back forests of Alerus called 'The Troves'. Witches are quite a nuisance to the elves.
MERMAIDS
All mermaids are beautiful, and can take either a walking form or a swimming form, but they cannot travel very far from the water.
Mermaids are like nymphs, cunning, and cruel, stay away from them.
Land-Morghosia, a large lake, surrounded by a small patchworks of trees. Fog that seems to stretch a million miles blankets this area, warning those who enter of the dangers within.

"Oh. So they are really counting on you then. I guess that makes it make more sense why she'd want you to have so many mates. You can have a lot more children if you have more then one mate. I promise that I'll give you tons of children though, so that should make your mother happy." That's what she was guessing that his mother really wanted it wasn't so much multiple mates for her son, but tons of children.

"Well yeah i guess your right it should but i have to say i don't think it would be so bad have some other mermaids around... Catering to your every whim it would certainly make thing a little easier around here." He said joking. "I think May would feel sorry for them a little but you'd have fun with them wouldn't you?"

"It would be fun to mess with them, but if they were to touch you they'd slowly start to dissappear. May wouldn't like it but i wouldn't let her get in the way." April wouldn't really want to use them as slaves to do thing for her, but more as entertainment purpose or have them to the hunting. Then again maybe she could get used to someone waiting on her hand and fin and sometimes foot.

Cadhla felt the little fairy climb into her hand. The fairy felt stiff, and wary. Cadhla gently closed her hand a little to get her hand out. When it was she looked down at the fairy, she was still shaking a little.
"Don't worry, I'm going to take care of you," Cadhla said. She then gently put her hand over the other to prevent predators from seeing the fairy. She then took off running back to her home. No one had gotten in her way the whole way there. She opened the door and walked inside. Her house was lit by a fire, setting a warm atmosphere around the small one room building. Dried herbs hung from all the way around the ceiling and canned fruit on the shelves. A cauldron of water was on the fireplace boiling.
Cadhla set the fairy down on a shelf by her mortar and pestle. She took her hair out of its braid, letting it fall almost to floor.
"I'll be back, just need to get some clothes off the line," she said. She walked over to the door and turned around as if she forgot something and said, "Oh and the mantle above the fire if a bed for you, you can also use anything you find to decorate with," she walked outside yelling back, "Make yourself at home!"

Avidin laughed as he scooped her up and set her on his lap holding her close. "Well i don't doubt that but if i know my mother she will have brought some of my fathers other mates to help her with her bags." He looked up at the surface of the pond they would most likely be here soon.

She held onto him once he put her on his lap. She wrapped her fin slightly around his legs as she did so. "Well as long as she doesn't push them on you, everything will be fine." April looked up at the surface of the water. She hoped that they'd be here soon, she was starting to get hungry again.

Avidin looked up in thought for a few minutes. "Hey you know what? I'm going to go and get some food i don't think my parents will be here for awhile and wanna make sure we are stocked up." He picked her up and set her own gently on a stone slab then went over and picked up his trident he then started to swim up but then turned and said. "I'll be back in a few minutes." He then breached the surface of the pond and looked around he had brought a jar with him full of a special kind of magic when above the water it seeps out fog in large amounts he hoisted himself up on the bank and started to make his way into the forest after awhile he crouched down and stayed silent he had heard something ahead. It looked to be a campfire a few in fact and some strange looking beings he remembered being called humans he had seen them crossing the ocean when he was young and remembered that April/May liked them as a food source he decided to wait and see if he could catch one.
Meanwhile back at the pond...
A noise could be heard above the surface it sounded like talking and arguing at the same time if you listened hard enough you could hear the voices talking. One of them a deep man's voice and another one a woman's. "No i distinctly remember the pulse saying their home is over here are you saying that the pulse was wrong love?" Said the man's voice then the woman said. "No i am not i just believe that it was off more in this direction."

April watch Avidin leave, she was going to stop him and remind her about what he had said about his father. However if he was right and his parents wouldn't be here for a while then it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to go and hunt.
April left the stone slab and went over to the bed she had made the day before. She was about to try adding more leaves and things to it when she heard voices above her. It didn't sound like anyone that she recongized, however the bickering that she heard did seem fimilar. It sounded like the kind of conversation that Avidin had said that he parents would have. April swam up to the surface to see who it was. She saw a merman and a mermaid and both of them looked a little like Avidin. They must be his parents.
"You must be Avidin's parents. Am I right?" she asked.

The bigger merman just looked at her was the spiting image of Avidin be he was much taller and his hair looked like a mohawk it had a pony tail at the back and that was split into three tassels he looked at her and said. "Why yes are you his neighbor?" The woman stayed back and watched april giving her a knowing look.
Meanwhile back in the forest. (See what i did there?)
Avidin was watching the humans in their camp he had been flooding the area with fog for a few minutes the magic would also really help him as long as he was crouching down in the fog he would be invisible he crept forward with the fog and waited watching the camp.

"Why yes are you his neighbor?"
"No, actually I'm his mate, April." She swam back a bit to give them room to jump into the pond. She had a feeling that this meeting might end up being slightly on the akward side now that Avidin was out hunting. "Please come in. Avidin will be back soon." April was trying to think of the best possible way to not make Avidin's parents hate her. She could just tell by the look on his mother's face that that was going to prove to be a difficult task.

"Looks like I win again, Itch." Hanzel hears Gilfried cheer as he lay down the cards in his hand on the stump the two sat at, holding the usual grin on his face.
"How do you win so much, Gilfried", says Hanzel in a frustrated tone, he didn't like being beaten, but he could handle it; besides, poker wasn't his best game, despite how much he liked to play.
"It's your face, Hanz, you can't expect to be good at poker with a face as revealin' as yours, you can't keep from bitin' that bottom lip whenever you get a bad hand. You gotta keep a poker face, like me; I always wear a grin when I play poker, no matter when I'm losin' or winnin'." Gilfried grins a bit wider.
Hanzel looks at him with dull disbelief, seeing his grin alter just slightly. "You always wear a poker face, then. Maybe you've been hiding more from me than just your cards..." Hanzel leans in looking closely at Gilfried, then leans back excited, "Another hand?"
"Well, Itch, we could pretend to."
"Pretend?", Hanzel asked, confused as to what he meant.
Gilfried passes out cards, "You hear anything, Itch?"
Hanzel listens, things were very silent in the forest. "No, I don't."
"Exactly." Gilfried mumbles, grinning through his cigarette, but you could tell he was tense or at least very focused on directing his attention to something else. "No owls hooting, no leaves rustling, no cheeky little laughs that freak me the fuck out", Gilfried takes out his cigarette and extinguishes it, looking at his cards as if nothing was happening, "and you know what that means."
Hanzel nodded, slowly turning his head to his cards, looking casual so as not to alert the predator of their awareness of it. "Something freaked the fuck out of the laughing things." He had no idea what they were, but there had been rustles of bushes and little laughs that sent chills up your spine all night.
"Yup, i got my gun at the ready." He snapped his fingers and motioned to one of the four men besides Horris, who was standing just a few feet off and never left Hanzel's side unless Hanzel told him to. He had heard the conversation but kept doing what he was doing for the past half hour--scanning the campsite calmly. Gilfried made a series of hand signs and the men started to fan out around the fog, looking over the ground with rifles at the ready.
Hanzel shifted his eyes around, Gilfried had returned to playing mock cards with Hanzel; both were laying down random cards at random intervals, and going on making idle chit-chat. Besides the orders to the men, no one looking from a distance would have noticed a thing different about what they were doing apart from what they had been doing for a good hour.

Avidin watched as the men where poking around in the grass they where very clumsy cracking twigs and sliping on rocks he was about to try and grab one but then he realized something the nymphs had stopped laughing and he then had an idea in a deep voice he yelled his voice carrying across the camp. "Leave now land dwellers you have tresspassed on my territory i give you this one chance of all of you to leave now or i will only leave one of you alive to tell the tale to others. It was a reaction in him that he could not discribe but his ansestors spoke through him.
Back at the pond....
"No, actually I'm his mate, April."
At that avidin's dad roared with laughter at that. "You're telling me my boy got a beautful catch like you?" He started to laugh so hard that tears started to form. "That is rich..." He looked at her again. "wait... your serious?" He laughed again. "So your his mate?" He leaned back to avidins mom. "The boy has skill." He then dived down into the pond. "Very nice." He said.

April couldn't help but feel flattered, she knew that she was beautiful but still she like many mermaid would never get tired of that compliment. "Well Avidin is quite amazing it's me that should feel honored that he picked me." It was a true statement, since it did seem that Avidin at first wanted nothing to do with her. She swam down to the bottom with them and once they arrived she spoke, "Avidin is out hunting, it seems that I need more food then usual plus he didn't want you to be disappointed about not having anything to eat when you arrived. Until he returns though maybe I should take your bags for you?" April had decided that the best way to go about meeting his parents was to take tips from May, as in be nice and polite in order to charm them. She could just hear May's voice in her head making suggestions and praising her for preforming the correctly. Really May should have been the one doing all of this, but April could tell that she was too nervous to come out. So for the time being it was just her and Avidin's parents.

"Leave now land dwellers you have tresspassed on my territory i give you this one chance of all of you to leave now or i will only leave one of you alive to tell the tale to others."
The man closest to Avidin yelps and stumbles away, tripping and disapearing in the fog on the ground, Hanzel stands up immediately scanning the area when he hears the voice and Horris steps closer to him, his large rifle at the ready. Gilfried laughs and grabs two pistols from his belt and puts one foot on the stump in front of him, looking around with his sharp eyes where the man disapeared. "We've got a live one!" he says, and the other three men look at where the man fell.
That voice sounded human... but not quite it... Land dwellers? Must be some hermit trying to play a prank. Hanzel grins reaching into his bag and pulling out a cool metal ball with a white marking on it. "Your territory? This territory is sanctioned for exploration. Now, I might take you more seriously if you stop the scare act and show yourself." He doesn't even wait for a reply, "No? Well allow me to cast a little light on the situation your in." He chuckles and tosses the orb into the mist, and it lands about 13 feet from Avidin; Three seconds after the orb hits the ground all of Hanzel's men and Hanzel himself sheild their eyes, and a bright light bursts from the exploding flash bomb along with a gust of wind that disperses the fog from a 20 foot radius.

Avidin Roars and stands up to his full height (7ft,1in) his eyes and teeth gleaming in the low light in his armor made from a special metal only fond in the ocean brandishing his trident he walks a few feet from the nearst man he says again. "I do not want this confrontation to be a violent one it will end badly for your side. now i give you this last chance again ask your questions and leave now before we both start praying to our gods for battle. By that phrase he ment it was a custom for mermen before fighting to pray to their gods before battle. "For if i was not curious of your being here humans you would be dead where you stand now make your decision!"

Avidins father laughed when april offered to help with the bags avidins mother had already told avidins fathers other maids to do so without question they trickled back and forth putting down bags and going back avidins father went up to april and whispered in her ear. "We will both be fine if we just stay out of her way." he said with a joking voice.

Horris jumped back at the sight of the behemoth, "Wh-what is that thing!" he thinks, shaking at the sight of the fish-like humanoid before him. He was brought out of his state of fear as the sound of lifting and cocking guns sounded while all the men aimed their guns at Avidin. Hanzel sees Horris and gilfried step a few inches in front of him, both of them had their weapons aimed at the thing. Gilfried glances at Horris, "I thought you said you were an only child, Horris!". Horris glares back at him for a split second but returns his gaze back at the creature. "Yah, yah, I guess this isn't the best time" Gilfried continues.
Hanzel clears his throat, putting on a welcoming smile and looks up at the creature, slowly walking between his two best guards, and just a foot behind them. "Gilfried", Hanzel whispers without moving his lips too much, "keep a tranquilizer at the ready in one of your guns just in case, Horris you keep your gun filled with live rounds if this situation gets out of hand." Horris slowly raises his hand, standing at only 5' 5" himself, and looks at the creature in the eye as he waves. "There is no reason for deadly confrontation, but I assure you if you try to make it into one you will not survive, you brought a pitchfork to a gunfight." Hanzel looks over Avidin's armour. "Your armour... It is unique, no? Interesting, but I doubt it can stop bullets, especially the calliber round that my guard Horris uses. I will not back down and our weapons will reach you before you reach us; I have never seen another creature who could talk my language before and I don't want you to get the wrong impression of me if you have not seen my kind before; so yes, let us keep this peaceful." Hanzel smiles a bright smile, pushing his glasses up on his nose as his brown hair blows in the forest wind.
"First question; who and what are you?" Hanzel says cooly, and Gilfried, Horris, and the rest of the guards grip their guns ready for anything.

Avidin looked at hanzel he was a child and they send him? Avidin shaked that off and said. I am Avidin son of Groiuis warlord of clan Doris'kor in short land dweller a term you would be familiar with is "Merman" and i am the protecter of this part of the forest. He lifted up his hand and pointed all around. Don't you see that this glade has grown silent? it is because these creatures reckogize my power and have grown silent they are still here and are waiting to fest of whatever I leave behind. He then said about the remark about his weapon and armor. My armor is more then enough to deflect your progjectiles it is made of Rivions stone it is an unkown metal to your kind for if you had known about it then you would have come prepared. He smiled a sinister smile. You have obviously not fought one of my kind welp this "Pitchfork" is more then enough to kill everyone here and then some... now of my question: What provisions have you brought? This was ment as an insult and a demonstration of his power: He wasn't worried about killing hanzels men he was more worried about cleaning up afterward.

"In short land dweller a term you would be familiar with is 'Merman' and i am the protecter of this part of the forest... Don't you see that this glade has grown silent? it is because these creatures reckogize my power and have grown silent they are still here and are waiting to fest of whatever I leave behind...My armor is more then enough to deflect your progjectiles it is made of Rivions stone it is an unkown metal to your kind for if you had known about it then you would have come prepared. What provisions have you brought?".
Hanzel twitched a bit when he heard the word 'merman'. So they did exsist, of course he had heard of them but never had he imagined them being real. He ignored the merman's question, he knew better then to let another gain control of the situation, and said, "Well, I want to start this off civily, and because you introduced yourself as Avidin is it alright that I refer to you as such? Or would that be too informal? Can't be more informal than 'merman' now can it?". Hanzel sat back onto the stump and kicked his feet casually, alternating legs. "Now, Avidin, my name is Hanzel Icheru, leader of research and exploration efforts on part of my people. I have a few things to say about your speech before we continue;", Hanzel tilts his head to the other shoulder. "You said your armour is more than enough to deflect our weapondry? I simply meant to ask you not to underestimate us, I did not mean to insult you, yet you underestimate me. Why? Is it because of my size, or is it simply because you have not fought people like us before? Either way if we both underestimate each other a conflict will arise, and I would like to avoid that if possible."
Hanzel chuckles and brushes his hair out of his eyes, and was about to ask if he was there just to threaten them when he heard Gilfried speak; "Merman? Well aren't we lucky, if you were a mermaid we might have been in trouble there, I didn't bring earplugs." Gilfried glares menacingly at Avidin and crosses his arms, examining joints in the armour, then looking around the forest mockingly. "Well, merman, this doesn't look like a body of water to me, this here is Avalon, right? I always thought you merpeople were partial to Morghosia." He looked sideways at Avidin slyly. "What are you doing so far from home 'protector of this forest'?"
Hanzel looked at Gilfried with shock, he had no idea that Gilfried knew about these creatures, did he know about their existance as well? He would ask him that later, and looked back to Avidin with a smile that you wear when you catch someone bluffing, and he whispers to Gilfried; "You didn't tell me you knew these things existed."

Avidin smiled at that and pulled something out of his bag it was a bunch of strings but at the end of them where a bunch of human skulls and tied to them was a part of a gun he threw the tangled mess at Gilfried. "Reckognize those? He said Sorry i'm usually a pretty laid back Merman but they caught me on a bad day and they where in my territory chasing after a mermaid for... questionable reasons if you catch my drift. He sighed and said. "You have to understand humans that there are reasons for me coming here and threating you for one i preseved you as a threat and your past with my people didn't help ether. you intruded on my territory in fact i'm suprised my traps didn't get any of you: Your camp is on the edge of a bunch of traps i have laid out. And on top of that my mate views you as a food source. He then leaned against a tree and spoke to Gilfried. Your confidence might be the death of you human for your distain for my kind is notable because you have fought the bottem feeder mermen that seem to be previlent in this area who cannot catch a a single fish to feed their family at night if you had even a small knowlegde of merpeople clans then you would know exactly what you are dealing with. He then looked up at the sky. I am not underestimating you humans I know exactly what you are capable of which is inexpiriance with the natives here and underestimating what we are capable of. You strut in here believeing that you already own the place and i hate to be the one to break this to you: But you are going to find that wrong my friends.

April smiled, "Of course." She wasn't too sure of what Avidin's mother thought of her, so far it seemed like his father liked her well enough. "Well please make yourselves at home." April then looked up at the surface of the water and wondered what Avidin was doing, he had been gone longer then she had expected him to be. The night before it had only taken a few seconds to catch that dolphin. "I wonder if he's okay," she whispered to herself.

"Protector of this forest?!" Lillianna yelled, bursting from her hiding place, she was truly offended. A merman thinking he was a protector of a forest, as if. She walked towards him, glaring, but a small smile never left her face.
She gave the humans one enticing look for good measure, but continued to approach Avidin. Though she did not know many words it didn't matter, for her point and emotions came across in the way she looked and walked. She was angry, and all creatures knew it was not a wise idea to upset a nymph.

Avidin looked down at her. "A nymph... being polite must not be her strong suit" He thought to himself he then spoke to her. "Oh well if you recall i said this part of the woods...But if you don't mind we where kind of having a conversation here." Avidin generally liked nymphs but he found they got upset over the the simplist things one time he had a friendly conversation once with one of them and had said. "I'll see you later." when he left which in the nymph's mind ment he would see it again a specific time and place when he didn't show it droped a herb into his pond that made it smell like rotten onions of a month.

April started to get a strange feeling. Could something be wrong? She focoused for a moment to try and sense where Avidin was and what she was able to tell was that he wasn't hunting in the lake. She turned around to Avidin's parents, "I'm getting a bad feeling about something. So if you don't mind I'd like to go and check it out. Is that okay with you?" She really didn't want to upset them, but she just had this feeling that she couldn't shake.

Hanzel looked at the skulls with terror, and then disgust, was this all there was to the natives? Sheer brutality? What a... disappointment... it looks like force is all that will be able to solve things now... Poor merman, he doesn't know what he's dealing with. "You have faced nothing..." Hanzel reached into his pouch for another bomb but stopped when he saw a small creature jump out of the bush, it was yelling at the merman, and the merman seemed to talk civilly to it, not brutally. He was perplexed, and he looked over at Gilfried to ask what the little green girl was, but when he turned to him he got the real shock; Gilfried was gritting his teeth, looking at the human skulls, the grin finally vanishing from his face and he raised his gun, he popped in a shell that was clear with a green cloud of gas inside it. Hanzel's eyes widened in shock, [i]"Whats he doing? Is that a bio-round?! Gilfried what are you thinking!" Hanzel stepped back as he heard Gilfried laugh and yell at the merman; "You fucking lamprey! You bottom feeder! You have no right! I'll make sure those gills of yours rot while you still struggle to breath through them! Anyone of your precious mermaids that you touch will become infected and your young will become diseased! Your precious children will only be able scream and cry your fucking name while they struggle to move before they even learned to walk!" He cocked the gun and all of the men, including Hanzel and Horris, stepped away, putting on coverings over their noses and mouths. Horris put Hanzel behind him and raised his gun at the merman and said, "Gilfried don't be stupid!". Gilfried laughs manically; "Don't worry boys this is just for fish fry!" He pulls the trigger and the round fires with great speed at Avidin's plated chest.

Avidin simply watched as the bullet sped to his chest and bounced off avidin didn't look happy "You guys just don't seem to pay attention." his hands went into the fog jars he had with him and an even more dense fog then before billowed out and avidins voice seemed to come from everywhere at once You have made your choice now pray to whatever god you have. his voice rang out again as he prayed to his. "We strike from the dark unseen until it is too late. when to do see us we strike fear into friend and foe alike... Cargoen great lord of the twilight please grant that my power be strong and my trident true and if the worse should come to past... I will be granted peace."
Back at the pond...
Avidin's dad laughed. "I like this girl!" But he then took on a serious tone. "I can't let you go out there alone i am coming too." he then went over to one of the bags and pulled out armor just like avidins except a heck of a lot more thicker he then picked up his dual trident and said "Lets go."

Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Do I need to edit either my Skyla or Cadhla posts to make it easier for you guys to write a response post?
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Hey Reima could you post for Maya again soon, I want to get Cadhla back into the story again
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
yeah well in writing there's bound to be some corn, or cheese, or fluff, ect. It's inevitable for all writers. And yes that is too bold. ;P
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
LOL I love the coincedence XD just happens to be making a fungus antidote for the exact one :3. Lol Im fine with her finding the herb but thats a bit... corny if i may be so bold :3. I know your just trying to help progress the story I'm just being a little brat X[.
Reminds me of Superman 2.

Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
So I need characters for my forum, and I was wondering if you guys are up for the job. I'm not pushing you guys into doing this, so if you don't have the time, you don't have to join, or if you do have the time.

Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
I will make my posts shorter If you want, Allison :P. I may be off and on in posting though.
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Shoot! Your right! I completely misread that. I'll go and edit my post.
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Ooh, sounds nasty, ummmmmmmm gaaaah X[ ooH! may can walk by you (and of course you don't trust mermaids at first) when looking for the herb and i will remain at the camp gaurding the camp in case mermaids try to take the pond and maybe kill the weakened men (doubt they'd want fungified men) or i could be gaurding May from other mermen, and come across you with her, and we both are like holding gun/bow at each others face or something :D
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
You don't have to, it was just a suggestion, I just thought you were suddenly favoring him. I dirges. Hey maybe you could post that they walk past Skyla's cave and maybe I could get her back into action. I'm having writing withdraws, you know fidgety, twitchy eyes, the whole shebang.
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
ugggggg but I didn't even want him to be a main characteeeeer! *groans*
Allison is just not posting >.< I really was thinking horris was going to die but he didn't get killed, so I used that to my advantage. Now that hes a main character he's going to be harder to kill. Craaaaaaap. >.< I like Hanzel and Gilfried the best. I'm probably going to make Horris' posts shorter as soon as Hanzel gets to talk with Pickerella and Lillianna :/
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Also I wanted make a suggestion, this is to you GodZagnith, if you're going keep using Horris this much you may want to create a character profile for him so he can become a main character instead of a background character, especially since you're using him as a main character. Like I said before, this is just a suggestion.
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Ok I'll work on it, but I don't exactly how to squeeze that in. Maybe she could meet someone, whoever would like to, and that person could ask about her past? Anybody wanna step up to the challenge, granted I know it's not much of a challenge, but a challenge none the less.
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
I think a battle with Ckyla and Cohr would be really interesting, probably Necissary since he will fight a lot like her. And I don't think that Cohr will be arriving at THAT scene, I am thinking he will either be sailing over next to the lake (and maybe through it because water travel is faster) or near the troves. But Cohr is going to be placed high in the rising action (he knows of the threats; he's gonna be prepared) of this roleplay, I would still like to have you make some background for Skyla :D.
