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!

~Meredith~
I was utterly relieved to have found a new ally, and that she wasn't dead as I had feared. But the message still troubled me. If this Professor was named Quizzely (as Jesse had said he was), then where was the London we were looking for? Then it hit me: Dehlia had not specified that this was where to find London. She'd only implied that this place would have something- or someone- who could help. When the general hysterics had died down a little, I asked Quizzely, "Professor? You know, we didn't come here without a purpose. We have to track down two people who may or may not be lost in time: the son of one Dawson Moreson from 1466, and someone from this time with the name London. Could you possibly-" I was cut off abruptly by the Professor's expression. When I mentioned London, he blanched and appeared utterly in distress, rocking back and forth a little and making an odd whimpering noise. Dora softly touched his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong, sir?"
Quizzely's original answer was so soft that not even Dora could hear it. Upon being asked to repeat, he whispered, "London. You must mean G-George. George L-London. He was a very good friend of mine from England. Just yesterday I received word that he had (gulp) passed away. Do you...do you understand what it is to lose a friend like that? One so close as to nearly be a brother? I had no idea you were searching for him." Quizzely sniffed and wiped a tear from where it had lodged in his mustache. "I'm s-sorry to have lost my composure. It's no f-fault of yours, but the mention of him reopened the wound." We all stood in silence for a moment, sharing the Professor's grief. Then Autumn shook her head sadly and said, "We all feel for you, sir. But that does not diminish the fact that we need your help. Your friend George may have passed beyond the grave, but surely there must be some trace of him left? Family we could contact, or a will perhaps?"
Quizzely brightened, sniffed again, and left the room with a promise to be back quickly. He did indeed return within a couple minutes, holding an official-looking slip of paper. Holding it up so that the entire group could see, he announced, "You were right about there being a will. The correspondence which informed me of George's death was, in fact, a notice that he had bequeathed to me a share of his property. No money, just a number of trinkets and curios that he collected over the years. I forget just exactly what he left me; maybe you would like to see?" We all crowded around the Professor as he opened the document and began to read it aloud.
************
By the way, George London was an actual person! He was a landscape designer from England in the late 17th century, and he did die in 1714.

I think... I can revive this.
Jesse~
I sighed. my wounds bugged me and I still felt a bit dizzy. I wasn't listening to this quiz guy. I really wish I was back at home, eating some bread and cheese and drinking coco. But that life is no where near here. I am laying on this bed, groaning with these other girls.
Wonderful life this is, isn't it? But I can't change it. All this time travel goo and such gets me dizzy. The document they were reading wasn't much of an excitment, either. All it said was that Quiz got some knickknacks, such as clocks, books, and time travel machines. What, time travel machines? Whoa. This is getting crazy.
I don't like this.
Not one bit.

Heun~
I turned around and smacked my head against the wall. When the other girls asked me why in the WORLD I had done that, I just smacked myself again. " UUGGHHHH! WHY DIDN'T I SEE IT BEFORE? Nazar has that boy the man was talking about! Nazar has his son!! Why didn't I see it?! oh, I'm so stupid! ohhh.." Meradith stared at me, clearly shocked."ooooooo... now I see. Wow, how did we all miss it? we have to go back soon, or the boy will be in big trouble... and then there's the matter of getting him back to where he came from, and all of us, too! oh man..." So now we had another mission; get back to Nazar's evil hut. Great. Just Great.
(September 4, 2014 - 10:53 am)
Jesse~
I grumbled. We have to go back there? I have way too many bad memories there. I push myself up, but -Dora?- rushes to me and says, "Stay in bed. The rest of us can go do it?" I growl. "Do you really think that is gonna happen?" I push her away and climb out of bed. I snarl at everyone. "So, it looks like we are gonna go on a misson for this weird boy ("He is not weird!" replies Quiz in the background) and save the world. Horrah." I pull my lightbulb out of my pocket. "Let's get this over with." Slowly but surely we feel ourselves disappearing. I hear Quiz crying out, "HEY! WHAT ABOUT ME!" I chuckle as we are pulled into Nazar's home/hut/thingy.
We are hiding in the bushes near Nazar's thing. I hear a guard pass by and grunt. I kick him and he doubles back, groaning. We rush into the hut and pull behind a corner. Another guard stolls by. I hit him in the head with a stick I found lying around. He screamed and fell down. Oops. Everyone looks at me and groans. I shrug and we carry on. We find the jail cells. Most of them are empty because we are supposed to be in them, but I see a boy in the far corner. Right when I come to him and fiddle with the lock, I feel myself get kicked in the leg. I turned around on the heel and gasp as I look into the eye of Nazar. He chuckles. "Well, well welll, if it isn't Jjjjjjjeeeeeeessseeeeee." I sigh as he kicks me into a jail cell.

THANK YOU, DANIELLE!!! *SUPERFLYINGTACKLEPOUNCE*
~Heun~
Back
again. Back in a cell. But this time better; no chains. As Jesse
prowles around and the other girls chat in a corner, I start searching
the walls for loose stones. I search for a long time. But I find
nothing. I don't, but Dora does! [PLEASE WRITE, BHR! PLEASE!] She groans and leans her head back against the wall. I jump on her and knock on the stone. Insted of solid rock, I hear a hollow tinkle! "We FOUND it! We FOUND it!" I shout, knocking on the wall so hard that I don't hear the boy in the next cell run to the hole he had been chipping, hoping it lead to the outside.
Does the boy have a name? If so, just assume that's what I said. If not, well here it is!
~Cy (eye with a c)~
I had been sitting in this cell for weeks. On the 23rd day, just when I was starting to leave all hope behind, just when I was sure my hole, which I hoped against hope led to the outside, was useless and the stone was miles thick, I heard some chatting and other noises near my hole. The voices sounded like girls. Since when did Nazar the Nasty want anything to do with girls? Silly creatures, if you asked me then. But now, I know for sure just how heroic (and dangerous!) girls can really be. I put my ear to the hole for a miunite or two, while I heard a faint knocking on the other side of the wall, moving closer to my hole. And then I heard it! They were talking about "Where could the man's son be? He must be here somewhere!" They were talking about me, I knew it. I padded back to my seat, right under the thin ray of sunlight coming from the high, barred window. Then I herad a girl groan very loudley and knock her head against.. my hole! I leaned closer, just because. Then I herad an "Oof! Heun-" and a "Get out of the way!! I'm onto something!" Before a rapid knocking and 'Heun' yelling "We FOUND it! We FOUND it!" I dashed my fastest over to the hole, now half an arm's lengh deep, and started tapping with my large, pointed stone. The rapping suddenly stopped. I pounded harder. Excited voices came from the other side. Harder. Gasps and running feet. Still harder. Finally I break through, feeling the sunlight warm on my face... untill my fantasy is shattered by a girl that must have been a fairytale. She had thin eyes, pointed at the corners, just like the fables of people from the east. Were they real? I drew back, startled, as the girl spoke to me. "Are you the boy? Well? are you?" She draws back too, reveling 8 other girls, one with shortish hair and dark skin, but I can tell she's female. Another one has a brooding pout on her face, like she'd rather be in a pit of lava then sitting where she is in a corner. "Girls?" I say. "My father sent a bunch of girls?" While I was speaking, I hardly noticed the brooding girl plod over to the hole and stick her skinny arm through, grabbing my neck. "What about us?" She growls, Holding her other fist so I can see it.

No, Winter Firefly, it most certainly is not too late! We need all the help we can get to revive this RP!!
(September 17, 2014 - 2:45 pm)
Is Amelia Earhart’s other daughter still on here? Eh-hem, Anywho, l will start;
Finally she was flying her own plain! Soaring over the Atlantic, just like her mom, It was breath-taking! My mom disappeared here, she thought to herself, on this date at this time-. She hadn't had time to finish that thought, because her plane was rumbling, and the tips of the wings started to sparkle, Time-Tears! and she was gone, plain and all. She fluttered open her eyes still in the plane, which landed on a ship! “My, my, now, let's see.”
Then she saw a man. “Excuse me sir, but where am I?”
He sighed, “The Mayflower! The Mayflower! How many times do I need to say it!”
She cleared her throat. “So sorry to trouble you!”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How was that? Short I know, but it is what it is! Oh and I had a thought, what if Amelia Earhart’s other daughter is still on here, how ‘bout we don’t know each other were born? ‘Cuz I had no clue there was another daughter when I posted that! Oh and can you make her a new plane, Corina? Hers got beat up.
(September 17, 2014 - 6:59 pm)
I don't think the other "daughter of Amelia Earhart" ever posted. The spot's wide open, Winter Firefly.
Cappie says pecy. That isn't a word, but somehow I think it should be.
(September 17, 2014 - 7:48 pm)
Great! (but please catch up to the rest of us)
(September 17, 2014 - 7:51 pm)
I think Jesse must be the pouting girl. (And even if she isn't, I would love her to be it.)
Jesse~
I snort at the boy. What's wrong with girls?! I would much rather be a boy than a girl. I snarl at the boy again. "Okay girls, let's get this over with." I glare at everyone, my hands on hips. "So, any plans?" The boy opens his mouth, but I snap at him. "I wasn't asking you, boy!" I hear him grumble, something about not asking anyone in particular. Humph.
(September 17, 2014 - 8:25 pm)
@Danielle: yup, that was Jesse!
~Heun~
"So, any plans?" Jesse snarles. Then when the boy starts to answer, "I wasn't asking you, boy!" I tapped my head. Plans... Plans... "PLAN! PLAN!" I shout, jumping up and almost hitting my head on the low cealing. "Let's make this hole bigger, " I look at the boy, "unless you can squeeze through a 20 inch space. Can you?" He looks at me like I'm crazy. So much for jokes as an icebreaker. "What's your name anyway?"
~Cy~
"Let's make this hole bigger, " the Eastern girl suggests. "unless you can squeeze through a 20 inch space. Can you?" Is she trying to be funny? I thought. If so, she is failing miserabley. "What's your name anyway?" "Cy. My name is Cy," I say. Finally! A proper introduction. "Who are all of you?"
After a great deal of jabbering, I got the idea of what was happening. Was my father that worried about me? But anyway, I took Heun's suggestion. We started chipping away at the hole.
The next fiew weeks were tough. At least we knew when the 'Foodman' (thank you for the name, Jesse.) was coming, because he was so clanky. So we decided to make the outside of the holes only big enough so a person could hide it by sitting in frount. while that happened, we made the inside big enough to fit me through, and probobley most of the other girls, too. Finally, after what seemed like thousands and thousands of years, we were ready to make the outsides bigger. The holes had one advantage, at least for me, though. My hands were getting very strong. Most of the other girls (except for Jesse and Meredith) were cut and bleeding, but still working viggorusley. All in one day, we finished the hole and I climbed through. Then we made a small pile so the guards and the 'Foodman' couldn't see the hole. Then we had to make a plan of escape. "Why not just go from here?" Heun asked, looking meangingfully at Jesse. "Oh, definitley. We can ABSOLUTLEY time-warp out of here on purpose when we are being held captive by the MOST POWERFUL WIZARD ALIVE!" Then Jesse hit Heun so hard she collapsed. "How thick can you get?"
@Danielle: if you don't want that to happen, just say so! But it seems so Jesse, and Heun's a weakling.
