Time Travel RP!
Time Travel RP!
So this is Part 2 of our "I was thinking..." thread (http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/108646) . True and I have been keeping it up for an entire year (yes, we litterally made the final post exactly one year later!). We've loved doing, and have decided to make a Part 2! This is for new people who want to join!
The idea is that you make a character that is related to someone famous in history, but that person can't be an actor, actress, singer, etc. For example, here's my character:
Dehlia Ludington.
Related to a heroine of the American Revolution: Sybil Ludington.
Lives in Fredericksburg NY, 1777
Suddenly transported to the 21st century.
Age: 14
Short length blonde hair, blue-gray eyes, exactly 5 feet, rather pale.
Personality: Quiet most of the time, yet speaks out passionately when its something she cares about, strong, dependable, loving.
And here's True's (I hope you don't mind my putting you character as an example):
Name: Doralynn Barton
Age: 12
Related to: Clara Barton
Lives: Maryland, at her Aunt Clara's house
Appearence: Curly Black hair, light skin. Is short. About 5'
Personality: Is kind to all animals. Is a nurse to animals. A tomboy.
The story line so far is that we just saved the world in the future thanks to "time tears". They're a liquid substance that allows time traveling. Well, we've all returned to our respective times. But we discovered the original way we showed up was we each had a time-tear-infused object. For Dehlia, it was a book. For Dora, it was a handkerchief. The characters still have these items, and we were thinking of starting another adventure! So this is open for anyone else to join!

@ Brooke E.: Okay, we'll miss you!
@ Danielle P.: Basically, we got separated from Dora when we were pulled into the time stream away from the old man with the time machine. We are on a mission to a) reunite with Dora and meet Heun, who are being held captive by an army lieutenant (or something of that nature) with a sword (who is evidently evil and after the time tears) in a small town in the west in 1881. Dehlia and everyone else have found them in the cellar, but were caught by the army lieutenant. He is holding Emily at sword point.
That's basically where we are. I hope this helps.

Can I jump in somehow?

Army guy's already been taken care of (tricked, kicked, and knocked out cold), but we still need to get past a locked door and possibly others who heard the clamor of the fight in order to get to Dora and Heun. Perhaps your character could help us with that. Cappie says "wrut," which could be taken as support or as the word "rut," which I don't know what to make of.

@ Danielle P: Of course! If you could look back toward the bottom of page 10, there's an explanation of this RP. Basically, it's where we make a character related to somebody famous (no actresses, actors, singers, etc) in history. Don't worry if you get a little confused, we still confuse ourselves! But just read the explanation, and the first comment at the top of the page, go ahead and create your character!

@True: So sorry you're confused! Or were. You and I are now in a dungeon, in 1886. I just got here and you were separated from the others' time stream. The others know you're in here, but they have no idea I exist. Nazar (the evil guy who has us captive) wants our time tears, even if he has to kill us to get them. I recently swallowed one to keep him from noticing that I found one. He is coming down the stairs. Also, we are chained to the wall.
~Heun~
A time tear is not fun to swallow. Nothing happened though, which was a good thing. Just as Nazar leaned over to say something nasty, a small piece of paper fluttered out of his pocket. Just then, the voice of his nasty assistant came from upstairs.
"Lord Nazar? I need your help!"
"Coming, coming. And you, girls, don't go thinking that you're out of anything." And then he left. I reached as far as I could toward the scrap of paper. Just my luck! I thought. The paper was only 2 inches away from my fingertips! Then came another moment of my luck. A gust of wind from the barred window near Dora blew the paper into my outstreched hand. The tiny scrap had an address. "Hey Dora! Take this!" I said, blowing the paper to my companion. Dora caught it, and I saw a black girl's face at Dora's window. "Meredith! Take this... It might be important... and while you're there, can you find a way to get us out? Oh, this is Heun Rhee, from South Korea in 1948. She found this out of Nazar's- Nazar? He's the creep who has us in this place. Anyhow, it fell out of his pocket. You've got to help us!"

Jesse Telsa
I held a lightbulb, running through passages and hallways leading to no where. Oh, how did I get myself into this! Just a few seconds ago I was having lunch with my family and holding one of the light bulbs my great great (eyc.) grandpa made. And then suddenly poof! I disappeared into this dungeon-like place. I ran farther, hearing guards trying to get me. Suddenly I felt hands reach to my neck and I was pulled by a strange man. "Aha! Another one! Bring her into the cellar!" I was pulled by my hair, and I screamed and tried to wrench myself away. But I knew it was no use. The man opened a door, and I was kicked into a small room. Someone chained me up next to some girls. I looked around wide-eyed. The man smiled evily and said, "I want your time tear."

@Danielle P. Yay! a new friend! Jesse is AWESOME in my opinion. Welcome to the basement. dun dun dun...
~Heun~
"I want your time tear," Nazar snarled down at a short girl with windswept brown hair, newly chained to the wall. Thank goodness Meredith had gotten away from the window in time! The girl looked back at him, wide-eyed. "What? T-time tears? I d-don't have a t-time t-tear," The girl stammered. "I d-don't even know what they are! Now GO AWAY!" My new friend was evedently brave, and slightly bossy. Nazar stepped back quickly. He had been evedently startled by her sudden outburst of screeching. "Stupid girl! How DARE you tell me what to do?! You'll pay for this! Just you wait! I'll get you, I'll get you alllllll!!!!!!!" Nazar backed up the stairs under the new girl's glare. "I'm Jesse Tesla. You?"
Cappie says "zenb" which leads me to belive that he(she/it?) is stressed and wants to be relaxed, zen style.

"I am Heun," the girl said. I growled, not happy with all these girls. She was used to being surronded with boys, and was happy with that. I sighed as I slipped through the chains. Heun looked in surprise. "What?! The chains were big. He forgot to tighten them." Heun sighed. "Well, can you get me out?!" "I don't have a key. Whadaya want from me?" Suddenly I was slapped from behind. The evil man picked me up by the neck and pushed me into the wall, nearly cracking my head. "You girl! Trying to escape ME? I am the most powerful, the most evil, and the most clever person in the world!" I rolled my eyes. "Then how did I get out?" He gave me a glare and pushed a knife aganist my throat. I quivered as the man spoke. "Don't sass talk me girl. I will kill if needed." I slapped him. I know I shouldn't have done it, but I did. He cried, "You are dead! Dead my girl!" His knife was nearly touching my chest when I disappeared. I screamed as I felt something pierce my skin and I doubled back. Suddenly my surroudings changed. I was soon in a vast prairie. Heun and the other girls were there. But I didn't have enough time to check what was happening when everything went black.
(July 28, 2014 - 7:03 pm)
@Danielle P. cool! Jesse is really unique, and so brave! though, I have a question. so, you said "Heun and the other girls were there too" but Meredith says that they saw the light but were not there in the prairie. If it was just refurring to Dora, then I understand. Thanks!
(July 30, 2014 - 8:35 pm)
There are two ways that this could be dealt with: first, that I made a misinterpretation and we're all in the prairie; or, second, that only Dora, Jesse, and Heun are in the prairie and Danielle made a slight typo. Opinions, anyone?
(July 31, 2014 - 3:22 pm)
Sorry guys for the misunderstanding! Curious Dragon is right, that only Dora, Jesse, and Heun are there.
(July 31, 2014 - 6:59 pm)
What do you mean by "She was used to being surrounded by boys and I was happy with that"?
(July 30, 2014 - 8:44 pm)
~Meredith~
A paper. That was all we had now. A paper with a single address, passed to me by Dora out the barred prison window. Where had it come from? How had Dora gotten hold of it? And what was the significance of "14 Cobberton Drive, London- possible lead?" I dropped on my stomach to peer in the ground-level window again, hoping to signal Dora or that Heun girl until I saw Dora waving frantically at me to get out of the way. I pulled back just enough to be less noticeable, then risked a look in. A man whose clothes might have been a noble's from that medieval city was handling a brown-haired girl rather roughly, forcing her down into the prison. I heard them shouting about time tears. Time tears! That probably meant the new inmate was a time traveler as well! The man pulled a knife on the new girl. She responded by slapping him, which wasn't the smartest move (but, come to think of it, that was probably what I would have done in the same situation).
Then, wonder of wonders, a familiar white light blazed through the prison! I could hear the man's anguished howl and a female-sounding scream, and then the man was left kneeling on the ground, knife in hand. The rest of the room was empty. I decided I'd seen enough and stood up, noting as I turned around that Dehlia looked concerned. Autumn peeked through the window at the mostly-desertd room, then stood up hurriedly as she noticed the man still there. "Where are they?" seemed to be the rallying cry. Rose put forth the theory that they were at 14 Cobberton Drive, London. Dehlia disagreed, saying that it was unlikely they'd ended up there. We argued for a few minutes over the likelihood that the three from the prison knew where they were going, until I realized that Diana hadn't said a word the whole time. She had the look of someone who, by long thought and deliberation, was slowly teasing out the solution to a difficult problem. She looked up at the bickering group, and said once she'd caught Dehlia's attention, "I think I know how to find out where they are."

Tovah, please write! I have Diana ready and waiting to do the next part!
(July 31, 2014 - 6:57 pm)
Okay, sorry y'all! I haven't been on lately, but I'm schooling throughout the summer, plus I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo. I only just got to my word count last night, and I can't write right now (I have to catch up to where y'all are). I WILL WRITE SOON!
@ A Curius Dragon: Tovah hasn't been on for several months at least. I don't know if she'll be on to write any time soon or not.
