Graceling RP!
Graceling RP!
I've read Fire and Graceling so far and I'm planning on reading Bitterblue soon. I really love these books so I thought we could make an RP. I think it should take place in the seven kingdoms. You can be a Graceling or a human being if you want. And we can also have Monsters even though they technically live in the Dells. Should Leck still be alive during the RP?
Name: Cayenne
Age: 16
Appearance: Light blond, shoulder-length wavy hair; light skin; one green/brown eye and a gold one; medium height
Other: She's a Graceling with the power to turn invisible.
Please join!

Lottie awoke in a small room, light filtered through a small window, showing on two people sitting by her bed. Her lip throbbed, and she suddenly remembered the previous nights events. Being chased, biting through her lip, collapsing in this inn, being sown together by a boy named Po. The boy stands up and walks over to the Lottie. "How are you feeling?" "Sore," she tried to say, though it came out like gibberish with her lip all swollen. "Well, don't worry, your safe." Lottie thought about that. Was she really? "What is your grace?" Po asked her. Lottie didn't answer. These people may have helped her now, but she didn't fully trust them.
Okay, I'm letting someone else do the next part. Forgive me if I don't potray the characters very well, you are aways welcome to correct.

I don't think I have much control over Cole, as he's kind of Melody's character, but I'll try posting without too much Cole stuff.
Brenning-
"What're you doing here, anyway?" I ask Po.
"Getting the girl a glass of water." He explained.
"You're still playing the doctor, huh?" I say. "We all know you're not graced with healing." I smirk. Po looks at me, as if he's annoyed.
"You really are a nuisance, you know that, don't you." He says.
"It takes one to know one, Lienid. Now go away." Lilac demands abruptly.
"I second the motion." Cayenne says from a hidden corner.
"All in favor, say aye." I say. Everyone, including Ember, joins in with me as we say, "Aye."
"All against, say ney." The room is silent.
"Motion carried." I smirk again.

Graceling's in my stack of stuff to read. I tried to get Fire, too, but Barmes and Noble was out of stock at the local store.
Lilac~
"Ah, and is one of these apes Graced with knife fighting?" Po says with a grin.
Brenning grimaces. "No. That would be disgusting."
"This is Cole," Po says, "He's one of our best men, so I sent him in here to help you."
"Wait, one of your men was sent to kill me?!" I scream.
Po looks at me, startled. "Cole?"
"Side work," he mumbles, his head hanging. The Lienid prince glares at him. Po's kind of defensive towards me since I'm Lienid.
"We should get to work now," Cayenne reminds us.
"And I need to get a real healer to Lottie."
"I thought you were graced with healing," Brenning states in a flat voice.
"Fiddlesticks. I forgot who I'm talking to."
"What are you Graced with?" Brenning asks. Po runs out of the room. "He's acting suspicious," she adds.
"Let's just get to work," Cayenne says, "Cole what can you make of it?" He picks it up and turns it in three different directions.
"We're going to the castle," he says.
(January 26, 2013 - 11:01 pm)
I'm just wondering if Melody's and Gollum's posts are meant to go together or not... Because I'm a little confused.
(January 31, 2013 - 8:04 am)
I think so. Maybe. Possibly. Ish.
Brenning-
"We just came from the castle, idiot." I say.
"No." Cole interjects. "Leck's castle. To assasinate him."
"And we are doing this because?" Cayenne asks.
"Um," Cole says unsuredly, "Have the rumors been getting to you in Randa's court?"
"What rumors?" Cayenne asks again.
"All the rumors. About his wife hiding in the tower room, and locking her child in with her." Cole says.
"Oh." I realize. "Those rumors." I had overheard some of the boys who worked in the stable talking about them. Once they realized I was cutting leather for a saddle in the hayloft, they stopped talking, and looked at me suspiciously.
"We've been hearing a lot about them in Lienid." Lilac murmers.
"So I'm in the dark." Cayenne pouts. "That's just great." she starts fading back into sight.
I notice Po walk by again, with a glass of water, and see a very doctor like looking older man behind him. I roll my eyes.
"This," I say, "is going to be a long treck."
^^^
Just as a question, are we going to be outlining the events from the book? As in finding Bitterblue and going over the mountains as a group? And such? Because I think that would be fun.

"Are you talking about the rumors about Leck?" asked a graceling girl. "What's it to you?" inquires Brenning. "Well, I um heard some of them, and had seen a couple things that back it up a bit," she answered, wary of the others unknown graces. "What kind of things?" Cole says continuing with the interrogation. "The fi- I mean a friend said that he was hurting animals, and I saw someone hurt one, but it could've been anyone. I mean, I was far away, and they could be only rumors," she stuttered. No one knew if they could trust her. She was obviously graced, with what, though, was the question. "What's your grace?" asked Cayenne. "What's yours?" the stranger countered. "Invisibility, oh and my name's Cayenne by the way." "Well Cayenne, you all seem like reasonable people so I'll tell you. I'm graced with breathing underwater, and can talk to certain fish. My name is Fellia too. I'm just as trustworthy as most of you here." "How would you know how trustworthy we are?" Lilac wondered out loud. "I've been watching you guys. I wouldn't have talked to you otherwise. That would've been stupid. Before you ask, yes, I have heard everything you've said, and know you plan to kill Leck. I want in, but I also want to make sure these rumors are true before we reach the castle. Otherwise I won't help, and believe me you want my help." "Should we let her in?" Lilac asked the group. All of them anwered with some variation of yes.

@Gollum- That sounds like a really awesome idea. Let's do that.
And what if Lottie comes from Leck City and she worked in the castle or something and saw how the queen hid Bitterblue. So when she's better she'll tell us all this and we'll go on the mission with Kasia and Po to find Bitterblue. Is that okay with you, BlondeHeroinesRule?
I will post soon but I've got to do some of my homework. :-)
(February 5, 2013 - 7:39 am)
Yes! Because I really like long treks through snow. I think that Lottie should be coming from Leck city, and have replaced the map Randa wanted to give us with another map.
(February 5, 2013 - 5:53 pm)
Sorry I havent posted yet! My computer died and I had to delete everything on it and restart the whole thing. Also, I have no idea what to write. Can someone introduce me please?
Spamdragom says mxfx. I think he's insane.
(February 4, 2013 - 5:38 pm)
Sorry I haven't written in a while! Yes, I'm fine with Lottie being from Leck City. Makes it more interesting! @ Flaming Girl; Well, I'm not very good at this, but since we have the same grace, perhaps I could introduce you? We could somehow know each other? I'll wait to post till I hear from you. Also, yes, I do believe the Captchas are crazy. And rude. Mine insults me repeatedly.
Cappie says cymh.
(February 5, 2013 - 7:45 pm)
@Blond Heroines Rule: I think that's a great idea! Thanks, I had no idea how to start.
Spamdragon says icpa. I never new you were in a secret association! Is the cpa like the cia?
(February 6, 2013 - 11:24 am)
@ Flaming Girl; 1.) Yes, I believe all captchas are part of a secret association. 2.) I don't know how well I'm going to do at this, so please forgive in advance if its terrible!
Po had brought a doctor with him, who looked at Lottie's lip, then, using a lot of big words, stated the obvious, she had, in fact, bitten through her lip, Po had done well sewing her up, and that the stitches should come out in a week or so. Lottie herself, still felt pretty poorly, frequently light headed, and her lip still throbbed. Po and Katsa left for a few moments, leaving Lottie alone.
Meanwhile, downstairs, a cloaked figure walked into the inn. When it pushed down the hood, short red hair was revealed. Tan skin, and one blue eye, the other green. She silently across the room, and confered with the inn keeper. Then she walked upstairs, counting room numbers. Finally, she stopped and pushed open a door. It was a small room, a small girl, about ten, lay on a bed. She moved swiftly across and stood by the bed. "Kira!" Lotte cried happily.
Okay, here is where I leave it. Again, forgive me if this doesn't work. Anybody is welcome to tweak it. @ Flaming Girl; I don't know how you'd feel about this, and you can absolutley say no, and I won't be offended, but do you want Lottie and Kira to be sisters? At least maybe adopted sisters? Of course, they can still be just long time friends. Just suggestions... Cappie says urko. Are you urked, Cappie?
(February 8, 2013 - 7:11 pm)
@Blonde Heroines Rule- That was good! You don't have to worry too much. You're doing great :-)
I wanted to apologize for not posting. I know I've been promising to post and stuff but I've been really sick for a week. I'm feeling better now, though...
Cayenne-
Brenning stands in the kitchen, using a knife, that looks like it could cut through steel, to chop vegetables. She probably thinks she's alone so she's humming something that I don't recognize, that could also be because it's off-tune.
I creep up behind her, until I'm so close my breath blows strands of hair from her head. I suppress a giggle. She never catches me when I'm invisible.
"BOO!" I shriek, jumping out of the way as the knife flies an inch past my arm.
"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT?" She exclaims, angrily, as the knife clatters to the floor.
I become visible, grinning and laughing. "You didn't catch me, Brenning. I was right behind you." I snort. "Katsa-"
"If you tell Katsa, I'll murder you. Now, why are you here?"
"Po healed the girl and some cloaked person arrived and he thinks we should talk to her."
Brenning cleans her hands on her apron and hangs it up on the hook by the door. Then she opens the door, which leads to the stairs. As we walk up to Lottie's room, she mutters: "Po didn't heal her."
"What do you mean?" I ask, confused. But we're already in Lottie's room so she doesn't answer.
Lottie sits propped up upon a mountain of white pillows. She has dark circles under her eyes and her face is pale but she seems no where as exhausted as when she first arrived.
"So why did you call us here?" Brenning glares at Po and then Katsa, who returns the look with even more menace. Lilac slips in through the door and stands next to me.
"Well, the little girl has some interesting tales to tell and her friend-" He points at a girl in a short green dress and riding boots. Her one eye is violet, the other blue. A frown twists her features in such a way that she it seems as if the frown were permanent.
"It's Kira." The girl says. Her voice is harsh and cold but young. She seems just a few years older than Lottie, who is about ten.
"Yes, Kira came last night... From Leck City." At the mention of the name there are some gasps. We all know the rumors of what the King is up to in his palace. "Lottie, do you feel ready?"
She nods and straightens herself up in her pillows. "I was a maid in the palace in Leck City. I served the queen and Princess Bitterblue because her mother thought she needed someone her age around." Lottie talks a little funny because of her lip. "But King Leck had his eye on me. I don't know what he wanted to do... But I'd heard the rumors of what happened to Louisa McNire." She looks at Kira.
"He sliced her body up. Like the squirrels he keeps." Kira says flatly.
Lottie nods and goes on. "One day when I was getting a pitcher of water for Bitterblue, he found me. He was holding a knife and there was this weird gleam in his eye. But I felt like I had to follow him. It was like he'd taken over my mind. Like a Graceling. I couldn't think, actually I've never had a clear mind there, if you know what I mean. I've heard the queen talk about him having powers that let him take over other peoples minds. I don't know how I managed to escape. I hardly remember but I got out somehow and they chased me to the mountain... And then they gave up."
The room is silent.
"Princess Bitterblue and her mother are trapped there. They need to be saved. He wants to hurt his own child." Lottie closes her eyes, exhausted from so much talking.
(February 13, 2013 - 3:54 am)
@ Elizabeth; Thanks for the support! I really like where this has gone!
Lottie ~
I had been so excited to see Kira, I pretty well forgot the pain in my lip. She smiled gently at me. We've been close forever. Then she sees my lip, and a frown of worry replaces the smile. "I was worried after you left," she says. I sighed. "I really didn't have any choice, Kira. Leck was after me. He wanted me for the same reason he wanted that other girl, Louisa. The queen is right. Leck does have some sort of power to take over people's minds! He did it to me! I'm not really sure how I escaped. It's all kind of fuzzy, but I remember thinking of you, and it helped me clear my mind. Then I focused on the knife he had, and the terror I felt when I'd heard about Louisa, and I just fled! I suppose he hadn't been expecting it, because he was slow to react. By the time he called for the guard, I was well out the door. I didn't have time to tell you what had happened. And I feared if he knew about us, he would come after you too." I finished looking down. Kira was silent a moment, then hugged me. "I'm just glad your okay. As soon as I'd heard what had happened, I went out looking for you, but you'd just disappeared. I've been searching every city on the road for you. Then, I'd heard from somebody on the road a little graced girl collapsed in an inn not far, I knew I had to see if it was you." I smiled. "And it was!" Kira smiled in return. Suddenly the door opened and Po walked in. He stopped short when he saw Kira. "Who are you?" he demanded. Kira stood quickly, as if ready for a fight. "Po, calm down!" I said quickly. "I know her, she's been looking for me. She's from Leck City, as am I." He looks back and forth between us, then seems to calm down. I give Kira a should-we-tell-him look. She nods. "We also have some things to tell you."
After having told him our story, he sat back and thought a moment. Katsa had entered the room and heard the story as well. She was currently standing behind him. A moment later, he called everyone up. Several minutes later, Cayenne, Brenning, Violet, and some boy I don't know, all file in, and I repeat what I had just told Po. By the end I was pretty tired, but glad to have it off my chest. I finished up by saying that we needed to rescue Princess Bitterblue. I made sure to say "we". Princess Bitterblue had always been good to me, and I was going to make sure no one protested I go on this mission. They were all silent a moment before all speaking at once. Po finally quieted them. "One thing is for sure," he said. "We're going to rescue Bitterblue, and we're leaving as soon as possible." "That includes me," I said, to insure I was going. "You're not up for it," he started, but lack of strength or not, I was going. I cut him off. "I'm well enough, and Princess Bitterblue was always kind to me. We were like friends. I'm not going to stay here!" "If she's going, then so am I," Kira said, folding her arms. He looked between, a cross between amusement, exasperation, and admiration. "Fine," he said finally. "If I absolutley can't stop you."
Here is where I end. I hope I didn't encroach on anyone's character too much! Cappie says ikmc.
