Kingdom of the Strange

Kingdom of the Strange

0 INK

Tucked away in the countryside there is a school for gifted children of all ages, though their gifts are not what one might expect. The academy wants order and discipline, but the students want freedom.

1,478 readers have visited Kingdom of the Strange since Inspector-Storyhead created it.

Introduction

Welcome to Kingdom of the Strange: a text-based RP adventure. (WIP[?])

The story:
The S. T. Ranger Academy for Gifted Youths (or as the students call it, The Strange House) was originally created to provide a safe environment for children of all ages who were gifted with extraordinary abilities, such as telekinesis, enhanced strength, shapeshifting, and anything in between.
However, the academy's motives have begun to be called into question. The faculty has become much more urgent in its search for new students and now strives more than ever to "protect" these students from the outside world until their Graduation. From within the academy, a resistance arises; a group of students determined to unravel the mysteries that surround them.
They are known as The Kingdom, you are a new student, and it's time to pick a side.

The game:
This game is similar to a text-based computer game, meaning that I, the GM, will describe the scenes and situations, and you, the player, will respond accordingly. Though this RP follows a set storyline, your character's role in it will depend completely on the decisions you make.
You can choose to play alone or work together with other players to explore and solve the mysteries of The Academy and The Kingdom.

Rouge would occasionally glance at the clock every now and then, continuing to take his notes until the bell rang and class was dismissed. He thanked Liza for helping him and began to gather his things together, and return them to his book bag with a sigh, throwing it over his shoulder and heading towards the door.

"Guess so." says Wynona absently. "But as long as you don't hear a time bomb or anything I don't think it's anything to worry about. Anyway, I've almost got this schedule. The dean changed some of his passwords so it's taking a little longer than I thought. When I'm done I'll send a copy to a printer in the library."

Rouge
Liza waves goodbye and scribbles down her room number on a scrap of paper in case you need help studying later. As you walk down the hall, you here voices coming from the auditorium. The security tape from in front of the door has been torn down too. Just standing there, you feel an odd sensation of approaching danger that you don't know what to make of.

Rouge peeked through what he could see of the doors the were strapped together thoroughly with the tape. He frowned, trying to listen to the voices. He was extremely curious.

She shrugs. "Not really my concern. Who would even bother to steal a class schedule anyway?"

Rouge
You hear two distinctly female voices and the shuffling of paper. Someone talking about... something in the library? The voices don't sound old enough to be teachers or faculty, but students aren't supposed to be in the auditorium because of construction. You lean against the door for a better listen and you feel it give a little. With the right amount of force, you should be able to open the door just enough to peek inside without making yourself known.

Rouge looks around for a moment, to make sure no one was around, he then glanced at the clock to see that passing time would be over soon, but there was the blame-it-on-the-new-schedule thing he could always use. Once he was sure it was safe to open the door, he slowly but firmly began to push it forward. He felt nervous, trying desperately to avoid getting caught.

Xenyx sets upon his task, searching through the books with determination. After not finding anything after looking at each book three times, he decides to get a closer look at the drawer.

Skye
The low buzz of electricity is suddenly accompanied by the short creak of rusty door hinges. You're prompted to turn towards the sound and...

Rouge
The door opens with a creak. Inside you see three students investigating what appears to be a pile of abandoned bookshelves and such. It's an odd sight to say the least, and the students themselves seem like equally strange characters. You see a boy edge towards a metal file cabinet atop the pile and...

Xenyx
You reach towards the file cabinet. Your barely touch the drawer but you can feel something in it shifting. You immediately get the sense that something has gone wrong. Electricity courses through you against your will. In the midst of all this, the previously illegible words scratched into the drawer suddenly become clear. "IN THE BASEMENT"

There's a flash of light and the screech of metal against metal. Wynona screams bloody murder as her laptop shorts out. The cabinets shiver as if alive and their draws fall out of place. The balance of the pile shifts and it collapses. The room buzzes with electricity and then goes still and silent. Tension settles over everyone and everything in the room.

Xenyx's jaw falls, and he instantly jumps back, and curls up on the ground, shivering. Shit, that was bad, real bad.

Rouge winces at the scream. What had happened?! Did that boy get electrocuted? Rouge just stands there, still looking through the crack in the door, it had made a rather loud squeak, he wondered if he should just reveal himself. He turned around to glance at the clock. He was now officially late.

Xenyx breathed in sharp, narrow breaths, trying to quell the remaining static forces inside to a close, his anxiety at the other's possible reactions not exactly helping with that. Every now and then, a few visible shocks would emanate from him. He'd scrunched himself in a ball on the ground and wrenched his eyes shut.

Skye jumped, and covered her ears from the scream. She holds her breath, and listens to the electricity buzz, soon realizing it was from that other kid...Had he been electrocuted? She thought, slowing uncovering her ears.

Rouge blinks as the mood settles and he looks around, nervously even. He turned around in hopes no one had heard, then he quickly stepped in and closed the door behind himself. It was dark, so there was hope he hadn't been spotted yet.

"Who's there!?"

Rouge jumps, should he respond? He kept his back against the wall as his mouth opened and shut again. He didn't know what to say. "Hi," he replies softly, his voice cracking. Rouge rubbed the back of his neck, wondering if he should run back to class.

"You didn't answer my question,"
Skye told him. Or, at least she assumed it was a boy. She walked his way, and was soon right in front of him.

Rouge blinked again, pushing himself farther against the door. It was a girl, only roughly an inch shorter than himself. It was dark, so he could just barely make out her facial features. "I-I'm Rouge..." He bites his lip softly.

"W-well, yeah, but um, I h-heard noises, a-and uh.." He huffs softly, his eyes beginning to adjust to the dark, even through his glasses. "Shouldn't you?" He wanted to ask the girl's name, but first things first.

Xenyx
From out of an apparent state of shock, Wynona clutches mournfully at her felled laptop. "M-my..." she gapes. She whirls on you, rage in her eyes until she actually sees you and reluctantly softens up. The anger is still there, but it flickers in and out of her expression as if she were carrying the heavy emotion and unsure where to put it.
She attempts to ease you out of your curled up position, then pulls back as a little ripple of electricity shocks her hand. "Do you think you can stop doing that?" she asks irritably.

I'm sorry I've been so inactive lately, and they'll have to continue to be for a bit longer as I may soon be without internet access again. Thank you for your patience and feel free to go ahead without me until I can be online longer. So sorry for any inconvenience u-u

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

Just a heads up: I'll be starting school again soon and may not be able to contribute as often. I hope you all understand. I'll still try and write as often as I can.

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

skycatdog- Well I can tell you right now that your character has been accepted, and to start, please read the first post under the "posting" tab or "activity" tab, as it's sort of an intro to all new characters. After reading that, you can begin whenever you like. And if you look under my username on the right here, you should see a PM button, should there be anything you want to ask me privately. --->

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

Okay then. So, how do I tell a character has been accepted, and when can I begin roleplay? Only real questions for now. Also dunno if you can pm on this site >_>

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

skycatdog- Don't worry about it. Your character looks just fine, and if you've got any questions about anything just ask and I'll try to answer as best I can.

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

Hello! I submitted a character. Although admittedly, I should have gone over a few details here first o-o. I'm a bit new to this site and all. If any details of my character don't fit in with anything, just let me know! Thanks, sorry for bothering and posting and all xD

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

Okie dokie thanks! I would like to focus mainly on Rouge, but I just love the bliss inducer so much so I wanna snatch it before anyone can have it.

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

Castiel_Told_Me_To- Since we have a shortage of characters right now, I'd say go for it, but perhaps keep Ro as your "main character" and make the other a background character (maybe more NPCish?) who is already in the academy.
PS that actually sounds fairly similar to an idea I had for waaay later (Spoilers!) but go right ahead. This sounds like it could turn out interesting.

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

Hiya! I already have Ro as one of my characters but I would like to make another. Should I refrain from making another character?
And if I do make one, should I just start with the first post, or should my character already be involved?
(Anyways! I have a great idea for a bliss inducement ability, basically the person is capable of making the victim see pretty lights and relax them)

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

A quick tip: new characters should read the first post of the RP, as it addresses and sets the scene for all new players.

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

ShatteredWings22- Of course. Feel free.

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

This looks interesting. May I make a character?

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

Thundergod1020- I don't actually know what you mean by "Grues" so I'm gonna say no?

TnevdaNai- Pictures or descriptions are both fine. You can choose either.

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

I'm interested in making a character. :D
Are pictures a necessity? Do you prefer pictures or would you prefer descriptive takes?

Re: Kingdom of the Strange

Will Grues be involved?
