The woman shrieked

Chatterbox: Inkwell

The woman shrieked

The woman shrieked and lunged at the man, distended hair flying and nails bared as though she could claw out his eyes.

"Enough!" snarled the man in purple, grabbing her wrists and throwing her against the floor. "I grow tired of your games, Yysara. Who have you chosen? I know you have."

"Heroes!" the woman said, wild eyes growing regal and cold, clutching at the threads of dignity she had left, "Warriors from another world, come to free Sedirrealm!"

The purple-robed man barked a laugh. "I'm sure they'll be up to the task. How will they even come here? How will they defeat ME?!"

The world distorted and Yysara gasped as she found herself falling through a black void.

"I am the Lord Wizard!" hissed purple robes. "No one can match me!"

"They will save us," said the woman calmly as the world slowly came back into color and the sensation of falling stopped, "they will free our world from you!" 

 

Earth.

Garyville, OH.

"Hey," Brookeira said to her friends, running up through the aisles of the Dragonseye Game Emporium and rolling a twenty-sided die between her fingers, "up for a game of Magic and Mayhem?" 

 

 

So, if you want to be a character, just ask. No more than six mains and eight secondaries.

We're all normal (geeky) residents of a town in Ohio (I chose randomly) and are transorted to another world by a good sorceress named Yysara. We all play a fantasy board game called Magic and Mayhem. 

I will post weekly if I can, more or less. 

If you've played D&D, Magic and Mayhem is literally D&D.

Haven't played D&D?  It DOESN'T MATTER. You can still be in the story.

YAY, I LIKE DND!

[Spyro] Yeah, cause you're a nerd!

Shaddap, no one invited you!

[Spyro] Well, I'm coming anyway!

You're gonna be a secondary! You're be a secondary! Haha, aha!

[Spyro] FFFFF--

Ah-ah-ah! PG, remember?

[Spyro] *storms off* 

 

Are AEs even allowed? Are we gonna make character sheets? How will we roll dice? How do I make Spyro stop stress eating (he's getting kinda fat)?

[Spyro] Stop stressing me out, that's how! Also I heard that last part!

 

okay this post is way too long, I apologize, we'll leave now. *runs off to play video games*

NO MORE CAN I JOINS. This is not a rp.

 

Mains: Me, St Owl, Dragonrider, Indigo, Somebody, Shadow Dragon, Danie, Nora, and HAB. I know it's seven, but I accidentally drew that many. Ah well.  

 

Brookeira walked up to the counter with a hop in her step. "Is that the new figurine set? Can we play it?" she asked the clerk, Somebody.

Of course, the clerk's name wasn't actually Somebody, but she'd scratched out her name on her nametag and written Somebody.

"I guess, but you'd better buy it first, You-Know-Who will get mad-"

"You're NOT taking that without handing over some dough!" called a voice from the back.

"Speak of the devil," Brookeira muttered.

The owner of the voice stomped out of her office, cardboard dragon wings askew and brow furrowed. She was tall and muscular, with tan skin and dark, irritated eyes.

"Hey, Leslie," sighed Somebody.

"SHADOW DRAGON," growled Leslie/Shadow Dragon, folding her arms.

"Ah, give us a break, Sunshine," Danie said, eyeing the figurine set hungrily.

 

CONTINUED LATER.

CONTINUED:

 

"Stop calling me cutesy names!" snarled Shadow, "FIne! We can play with it. But if you get ONE SCRATCH on it I SWEAR-"

"We get it!" said Brig, aka St. Owl the Cleric or Somebody's Partner in Crime. 

Danie laughed as they opened the figurine set, but broke off.

"Woah," she said, "guys... these are our characters."

"No way!" called Hannah Alex Brixon III, also known as Hot Air Balloon because of her signature shirt.

"Yes way," Danie said, gesturing.

They leaned over the box.  There was Brookeira's Half Frost Elf Half Human Druid, Shadow Dragon's Dragonborn Fighter, St. Owl's Elven Cleric of the god Owlonicus, Somebody's Human Sorcerer, Danie's Half-Orc Berserker, and Hot Air Balloon's Elven Fighter.

The only people who hadn't arrived were:

"Hello!" called Indy as she walked in with Dragonrider and Nora.

"Just in time," said Somebody, "look!"

Indigo was always a sight to behold: Her clothing was Indigo, her eyes were indigo, and the sheen on her raven hair was indigo. Her hair fell in ringlets about her face as she gasped and picked up her Gnome Rogue.

"Cool!" said Dragonrider, picking up her Elven Ranger with an excitement that made her fire red curls boune, "it's mine!"

"Ooh," Nora said, picking up her Half Elf Bard, "they look exactly like us!"

The building went dark like a candle blown out. "Hey, I paid the electic bill!" Shadow Dragon growled.

A whirring noise started at the center of the building as they held their pieces. The earth shook thoroughly.

"This isn't scientifically" began Brookeira.

"What-" began Somebody and Brig.

"WHAT?" yelled Shadow Dragon, not liking that it was HER STORE that had to be hit by an earthquake.

"Huh?" said Danie.

"Oh no-" began Dragonrider (fearing an earthquake).

"MY $800 DRESS!" yelped Hot Airblloon as Danie's soda spilled onto her silks, "Well, I don't care, but MY PARENTS WILL KILL ME!"

"AUGH!" yelled Indigo.

Everything shuttered into darkness, and it was warm.

I can verify that I am indeed a male.

So, er, instead of Hannah I could be Harry whatshisface. And... we'll say it spilled on my new Ice Bear shirt. Hah, that would tick me off.

Erica "Somebody" Domino woke up groggily, her first sensations being warmth and a fuzzy head. As her mind cleared, she began to feel a growing feeling of panic. And she was getting hotter. 

She sat up and moaned, feeling her aching back and shoulders. She looked at her clothes and her brow furrowed.

She was in a red robe with a small brown leather belt and a too-small-for-much-use dagger. She pinched herself to make sure she wasn't hallucinating and stood up, stumbling over the heavy fabric of her robe.

She was in a thin forest, with bizarrely colorful leaves and a sky the color of a robin's egg. It was perfect; just the kind of Magic and Mayhem area where a monster would be hiding.

The hair on the bakc of her neck prickled and she whirled around, taking in black scaled hide and dark wings before the thing came towards her.

SHe yelled and flung her hand out and a fireball flew from her fingertips.

The thing fell back and cried out in a too familiar voice. "Shadow??" Somebody called,  shocked.

"OF COURSE it's me, WHO ELSE would it be?!" she hollered.

Who else indeed; the thing in front of her looked like a scaled version of Shadow but with the horns-and WINGS-of a dragon.

"WHAT," yelled Shadow, "WAS THAT?"

"A-a fireball!" gasped Indigo from a few yards away, "Somebody, you-you're a SORCERER!"

"What?" Somebody said, but realized it was true. Indigo was unusually short now.

"You're a rogue! A gnome rogue!" Somebody cried.

"No I-" It suddenly dawned on Indigo that she was, indeed, way shorter than Shadow and Somebody. "I AM!"

"So I guess I'm my dragonborn?" Shadow Dragon said, jadedly suspicious but with a hint of excitement.

"Come on!" yelled Somebody, "Let's find theothers!"

Harry woke up feeling rather sleepy but nice and warm. It was very relaxing, lying here, in this grass-

Wait...

...grass?

Harry bolted upright, checking himself for sunburns. No. Good. His parents would kill him if he ruined his skin. He looked in shock at his clothing: he was in light armor with a greenish tinge.

He decided to focus on that later.

He felt the back of his neck, no sunburn. Shoulders? No sunburn. Ears? Pointy.

He felt them in fascination. His ears were definitely pointy. Very pointy. He had a sword at his side. He shook his head, but he wasn't asleep. He could feel the pain that jarred his neck when he shook it too vigorously.

He looked to his side and gasped; Nora was prone on the ground, brown-black hair unbraided and tasseled around her face. She had a rapier at her side and a gitar on a strap around her neck.

"Nora!" he said, shaking her awake, "Nora!"

She groaned and sat up groggily before gasping."We-"

"I know," he said.

St. Owl, Brookeira, and Dragonrider were walking towards them. "You guys-" Nora and Harry started in unison.

"We know!" they said in unison.

St. Owl moaned. "Ugh, I feel awful... and I can't control my powerHOOT."

SHe suddenly turned into a disgruntled looking owl.

"Where are Somebody, Indigo, and Shadow?" Brookeira asked, fingering her scimitar, "we need to find them, no matter what we look like."

"You're right," said Dargonrider."Come on, guys. Let's go look."
