Cursed RP 3T
Cursed RP 3
This is an RP that was originally made by Carolion K., and then brought back again my Mei-xue. I'm making yet another one because it looks like a lot of fun! Also, I will change some things.
The Plot:
A witch has put a curse on eleven innocent children. The curse is different for each child, and they will all come into effect on their fourteenth birthday, which is coming up soon. If they can find her and destroy her, their curses will be broken. But if they don't do it within a year of their fourteenth birthday, they will be stuck with their curses forever. They know that there are other cursed children, and they can sense when another one of the Cursed is nearby. They cannot tell anyone other than the other Cursed of their curse, or else they will be obliviated in the next 5 seconds. Their birthdays are coming up soon...
Here's the sheet:
Name:
Gender:
Curse (Please make it original, and no two people can have the same curse):
How many days until fourteenth birthday? (Anywhere from 8-20. Two people can have the same birthday.):
Appearence:
Personality:
Other:
Here's my charrie:
Name: Naomi Miller
Gender: Female
Curse: On her 14th birthday, she will forget about everyone that she cares about most.
How many days until fourteenth birthday?: 11
Appearence: Blonde, curly hair that never stays put, dull green eyes. Has an athletic body, and is short.
Personality: Generous, kind, and daring. She has always wanted to go beyond the boundries of the home that her parents keep her in. Sometimes she is sassy, and other times she can be too much of a people pleaser. Overall, she is a very confusing person, but is nice once you get to know her.
Other: Because she has been trapped in her home her entire life, she doesn't have many friends. The only time she leaves is when her parents need her to get something from the market. She has also been homeschooled her whole life.

Umm... that seems really similar to Moonfrost's charrie.... I don't know if this is still open...

I'M BACK!!!!!!! I'll probaly do a real long post tomorrow.
@Mantyx Wyrd, maybe we could ship Mantyx and Saphira? Their curses are similer so that might be fun.
(March 18, 2018 - 7:00 pm)
Sure that's what I was going for.

Key
Bold is Mordai
Italic is Mantyx
Im horrible at writing ;-;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mantyx~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I stare at the group of cursed kids just like me and my heart pangs as I look at them, they looks so happy, so determined.
I wonder if they would help a monster like me?
Who would help a monster like you? You are a worthless traitor, murderer, deceiver, liar.
Those taunting words swirling around my head repeating over and over. I feel as if I am going insane. As I clutch my head, shaking it in attempt clear those horrible thoughts from my head I look up catching one of the cursed eye(Saphira).
Like calls to like, ask who she is, I could spare her.
Never, I will not subject anyone to your sick form of torture. Trapping people inside their minds. "Get out of my head." I mutter, as Mordai starts to laugh quietly.
You know you will never be free of me. I am a part of you. You cannot destroy what is not physical. I am merely a fragment of soul now, but soon you will crumble and I shall be set free to destroy this world.
"Get out of my head" I say as I clutch my head under my hood trying to wrench my mind from his grasp. "No, no, nonono." I whisper as my eyes flicker to black I run away into an alleyway. One of them is following me, I zigzag through streets in hope to loose them.
Too late. You are and were too late.
Mordai forces me to spin on my heels and kick the cursed girl right in the ribs just as my eyes flick back to normal and I crumple to the floor from the force of Mordai using me to attack someone. My last observations before I collapse and everything going black is that a cursed boy(Phalan) is running to the girl I attacked. My watch starts beeping, signaling that I have only 9 days left before I black out.
When I finally come to I realize 3 things truths at the very same time:
#1. My head is bleeding and there is a stinging section on the left side of my head from where it hit the ground.
They know you are not normal.
#2. I attacked another cursed 13 year old.
They know you are a monster.
#3. I do not have much time left before the curse begins.
You do not have much time before I can flood these streets with blood and devour the life force of the innocent people here.
I breathe in slowly as I collect my memories, a good place to start seems to be some basic questions:
1) Where am I? On the floor somewhere.
Near people who will kill you when the realize who you are destined to be.
2) Are there friends nearby? Not sure.
Your new "friends" will be dead in about 9 days.
3) Are there weapons nearby? I have a knife in my pocket but I can't reach it without alerting them that I am awake.
Using that blade could be the death of you, with so many opponents.
4) Am I safe? Probably not considering that they are whispering about me, believing I am asleep.
They whisper about you because they want to figure out who you are.
"You can not give up easily, if you stop fighting then they already have won" One of Orcus's favorite quotes, don't remember who wrote it but inspiring anyways. I sit up and touch a hand to my head, lookong at the group with my horrible mitchmatched eyes, and I ask them one question; "What happened?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BTW Mantyx's blood is black because all people with a valg in their head have black blood Also one or both of their eyes turns blackish obsidian, though Mantyx is different for him one of his eyes is always black, but theat is expected what is unusual is whenever Mordai takes control his eyes both turn black. Bye!

Phalan~
I stare at the boy with the mismatched eyes. He looks worried, afraid, even in his sleep. I help Saphira up, and then turn to him. He doesn't look that harmful. And yet he.... hmmm. I look over my shoulder at Saphira. The guys eyes literally flashed a different colour. I stragithen up, and turn to Saphira. "Does he..." I gesture to the boy, "Have the same Curse as you?" Saphira cocks her head, as if listening to some inner voice, and her eyebrows cricnkle. "I don't know.... Malum isn't saying anything, but I can kind of..... sense it..? I can feel this dark.... almost like a shield... thing emanating from him." Her eyes linger on the boy. For some reason I glance over at Brynn. "Is everyone okay?" The others have kind of been standing at the sidelines here.... Saphira, still looking at the boy, Maya, Viki, and Leanne nod. Leanne looks especially nervous. I start to step towards her to try to calm her down, but I hear a small groan from behind. I whirl around, and see that the boy is leveling himelf up from the cracked sidewalk. We lock eyes for a moment.
I rocognise some of what I feel, in the nighttime when I think about my curse. He looks hollowed out, like something reached out and scooped out all his emotions. But right now the light of fear is lighting up his eyes. He looks so scared.
Terrified, in fact.
I kneel down, and carefully touch the side of his head. "You're bleeding." I state. His blood is.... black? Maybe a side-effect of his Curse.... He shakes his head, and moves away from my hand. He flinched at my touch. "Never mind. What happened?" I stand up, and carefully dust off my pants. "Your eyes flashed a strange colour. You leapt up, spun around, and kicked Saphira here in the gut. Then your eyes changed back and... you just fell down and blacked out." He reaches up and gingerly touches the cut on his head. "Are you okay?" I ask. he looks surprised at me asking. He starts to try to get up, but Viki is there, pressing him back down into the concrete. "Woah there. You need some kind of bandage or something for your head." The boy starts to struggle, saying, "Stop it, I'm going to hurt you!" Tough words for the guy being shoved back into concrete by a figure skater. Howver, she's probably pretty muscley from it.
The boy's eyes flash black-oh. It disapears, leaving the boy looking drained. He lets himself be pushed back down, and Viki turns to me for a bandage. "Come on, use your coat or something," She snaps her fingers impatiently. I'm surprised at her urgency, but then I see the amount of blood pooling from the boy's wound. I wince, and quickly take off my gloves. She looks at me questioningly, and I say, "They're made of wool, so they're more likely to soak up the blood rather than my coat. Do you think they'll be enough to staunch the-" Viki nods reassuringly, and swipes the gloves from my hands. She kneels over the boy, who looks like he's struggling to stay awake. Leanne is standing awkwardly, looking like she has no idea how to tackle this situation.
Maya looks.... kind of angry. Angry at herself, it looks like. Her eyes go out of focous for a minute-(I was thinking she's having a premonition?)and then her gave focouses again. Sort of confused-looking though. Proobably she didn't think it would get this intense this soon. But our curses are closing in, our destinies unfolding. More and more strange things will be happening soon.
Better find the witch quickly then. I still feel like it would be wrong to kill her... I don't want to kill anyone. We don't even know who she is. Even after what she's done to us, I still feel compassion.
Stupid.
But there is nothing, nothing that justifies killing another human being-or animal-needlessly.If you need to eat, then yes, killing a deer is fine. There are exceptions, but killing another human is like literally ripping off a part of yourself. I see that deadened expression in warriors. In armies.
Some people are better off........dead... There are always exceptions to killing.
But is this one of them?
"What's you're name?" Viki asks, inturrupting my thoughts. The boy jerks slightly, and mumbles, "Mantyx..." Then he blacks out.
~~~~~~~~
Hope that worked! Oh Darkking, there's a book (I can't remember its name ARGH) with the main character with a literal black eye. Magic is black in colour, there are alternate Londons, it's SO GOOD.
(March 20, 2018 - 4:27 pm)
Maya~
Phalan, Saphira, Naomi, Vikki, and I continue walking down the street when suddenly this boy comes over. He stares at us with two mismatched eys. Very creepy looking. I barely have time to take him in when he has a suden maniacal look in his eyes as if he was being possesed and then kicks Saphira in the ribs and collapses.
What on earth just happened?, I wonder?
"Oh my gosh!", phalan cries out as he runs towards Saphira who is getting up.
"Are you OK, Phalan asks her.
"I'm fine, just a little bruised, Saphira says, standing up.
" It doesn't seem like he's ok", I gesture towards the boy, lying on the sidewalk. "Who the heck is he anyway?", I ask.
" I think he's definately cursed", says Naomi.
I look at the boy just as he begins to stir.
"He's waking up.", I whisper. The first thing the boy asks is, "What just happened?"
(March 20, 2018 - 5:24 pm)
Viki--
The boy with the multicolored eyes is... strange. Where have I heard of this before. Before Saphira, that is. But I have no time to worry about that because he is also bleeding and he might die becuase it looks serious and he needs a bandage of some sort and everyone else is just standing around and I can't let him die!!! I grab Phalan's gloves and wrap up his head, caught up in the whirlwind of taking charge. He manages to stammer out that his name is Mantyx before he passes out again. I look around nervously, hoping he'll be okay. I check the bandage again. I feel the adrenaline leave my veins and suddenly notice the awkward silence. "Um, I'm sure he'll be okay," I say, trying to sound more confident than I sound. Saphira seems more relieved than everyone else, which is weird because he hurt her. Suddenly, Phalan says in a quiet voice,
"Do you think she had a reason?"
I'm confused. Is he talking about Mantyx? "Who?" I ask.
"The witch. Do you think she had a reason to Curse us?"
Everyone contemplates this for a minute, when suddenly Leanne staggers back, eyes unfocused and horrified. My first instinct is to look behind me, but I realize she was having one of those premonitions she was telling us about. After a second, she grounds herself.
"Are you okay?" I ask, worried.
"Y-yeah. I... hope we can find a way to get free from our Curses," she says with a shudder. She looks at the ground and mutters, "Iknowyou guysallthink thatandstuff, but still..." she trails off, clearly embarassed by all of the attention.
"No, I think that too. Maybe the witch had a reason to Curse us, but it's no excuse. I hope we get free too," Saphira says, but she's looking at Mantyx.
Maya says, "She deserves it!"
Phalan looks uncomftoble, and I don't know which side to take. Suddenly, Mantyx comes to. He's bleeding less, thank goodness, but he still seems a bit woozy.
"So... sorry," he says to Saphira as he struggles to stand up.
Saphira respnds, "No, no it's okay. It... it wasn't you, right?" a glimmer of understanding and symapthy gleams in her eyes, and suddenly I understand. Mantyx has a similar curse. She's finally found someone who understands her.
"No, actually it wasn't," he says, suprised, "It was this... this being called a Valg. It's inside me. It sometimes takes over. In nine days it's going to murder you all...."
He tells us his whole story, and despite the darkening sky and the darkening circumstances, I feel a bud of hope unfolding in my chest. Maybe everything will be okay. Maybe we can all band together. Maybe, come my 14th birthday, I'll be happy for the first time since the witch. Maybe we can all be happy one day. Maybe....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, aside from that deep note, I'm looking for someone to ship Viki with. Anybody? Anybody?
(March 20, 2018 - 6:02 pm)
Saphira~~
As the sun sets, I start to feel Malum's hold tighten on me. She's always more powerful in the dark espessally when the moon is dark like tonight. My eyes start flickering and I concentrate on holding her back in.
"You should find somplace to go to sleep. That's not near me. Malum is strongest at night and I don't want to have an episode while you're asleep." I say, "Let's say we meet here tomorrow at say.. 7:30?"
I walk away from our little group of... friends? Are they my friends?
You'll never have any friends. Nor should you think that they are your friends.
Malum once more tries to gane hold on my thoughts, and I bat her back down again. Soon I make the long walk up back home, where I fall asleep instantly after I hit the bed. My usual nightmares plauging me all through the night.
(March 21, 2018 - 8:13 am)
On with the story!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I walk to my place, I can't stop thinking. That boy Phalan, he saw me; he saw who I was not who I pretend to be. How? I wait for Mordecai's sarcastic remark but it never comes. There is an odd silence in my veins and I can't help but think that he is gone, until I fella tug on my mind, enveloping me in my fears. I hear the ragged breathing of my brother on his deathbed then the horrible silence that silence that meant he was gone. My big brother Orcus, the rock to my ice and to Erawan's fire. I see Erawan, bending over, coughing, then he collapsed after an argument with the last words he said to me; "I hate you!" echoing through my mind. My world was shattered in just a few months. My mother, accused of being the witch who cursed us, beheaded. My father who was so much like Orcus perished in a fire. I have no one, nothing. The world is shrouded in a fierce darkness, taking all the air from my lungs, suffocating me. I see my failures over and over. Then I am on the floor of my house Mordai hissing a steady stream of curses in my head I start to feel weak I stumble to my couch and fall into a deep sleep.
I am woken up a few hours later by a loud, persistent beeping. I check my watch, it says 7:28. "Gah! I'm gonna be late!" I cry out as I race down the stairs and stub my toe as I run out the door, still in the same clothes as yesterday, my hair is ruffled and looks like I ran my hands through it multiple times. The cut on my head has scabbed but it is still throbbing painfully. As I run through the streets I slip just as I turn into the alleyway where the other cursed are waiting. "Im he-" I say slide on the wet street into another alleyway filled with trash.
From my vantage point under a trashcan I can see five pairs of shoes. As I crawl out and brush myself off I can feel heat rising to my cheeks as the other cursed look at me. "S-Sorry" I start to stammer but I am interrupted by a dark voice coming out of my mouth. "That was hilarious to watch and experience Mantyx." I clap my hands over my mouth.
Did you just talk out of my mouth?
Yes I did, I was not expecting that so soon either.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Short but to the point and (hopefully) funny
(March 22, 2018 - 1:27 pm)
Viki--
My nightmares are full of witches and demons. I wake up sweating, and quickly get up, get dressed, and pack my stuff, eager to shake the feeling away. I hesitate before grabbing one last thing from the kitchen counter and dropping it in my bag. In a few minutes, I'm walking into the alley when suddenly Mantyx skids in and lands in a pile of trash. It's actually quite funny. I'm stifling a luagh when suddenly Mantyx says in a voice nothing like is own,
"That was hilarious to watch and expirience Mantyx."
This serves a grim reminder to all of us that our birthdays are drawing closer. The word "birthday" has pretty much become synnonimus with the phrase "worst nightmare".
"Does anyone know where the witch lives?" asks Naomi.
"I might," says Leanne.
"Wait, really?" I say.
"Well, uh, it's probably nothing. Or stupid..."
"No, no," I say, "We want to hear it."
"Well, in this, this premonition, I saw us all standing in front of the witch, all wounded, dying, and in kind of looked like those hills east of town...."
Our heads snap in that direction. "Well," I say briskly, "Only one way to find out!" I take off running, and yell behind me, "It's not like we have anything to lose."
***
We roam the hills, looking for any signs of the witch. We got into the thick of the hills at noon, and we've had no luck so far. I'm staring up at yet another hill, trying to decide if that's a dead bush or a witch hut, when Mantyx punches me in the back. To be honest, I'd been waiting for this to happen, but Mordai's sudden appearance makes me sure of something that I'd been trying to decide all day. I whip around, looking to see if anyone else is seing this. His green eye is flickering. I can see the internal battle, and I realize there's nothing I can do. Luckily, he prevails, and everyone else comes running. While they're all gathered around Mantyx, I find Saphira. This is what I knew I had to do. If we were going to stay here any longer, the person who was closest to Mantyx needed to have this tonight. I pull her aside and pull out the thing that I pulled from my kitchen counter this morning. I press it into her hand, and she looks down at it, realization dawning in her eyes.
A Valg's weakness is fire, and I've just given her a matchbox.
(March 22, 2018 - 4:52 pm)
Saphira~~~
Soon after we break for lunch, Viki pulls me aside and hands me a matchbox. I look at her and and nodd softly. I knew just what to do with this. I put it into my pocket and join everyone as we plan what to do next.
"Are you sure we're in the right spot?" Naomi asks.
"Maybe? It was kind of hard to tell." Leanne.
Everyone starts talking about where an evil witch might make a lair. I close my eyes and only partlly lisen in. I'm about to do something risky, real risky and I don't have time to tell anyone of it. Or SHE might notice. I plunge into the dark dismel place that is Malum's mind. I'm whipped into her memories trying to find the witche's lair.
I'm walking aloung a valley. Following the faint signs of gray that the witch left for me to follow. It's time for me to inhabit a new host, this one is now old and close to death.
----------
I'm screaming in pain as the witch pulls me out of Lillian, my old host. She forcfully sends me down, down, down, the mountain into a sleeping baby named Saphira. Soon I settle in nice and cozy inside my new host.
WHY YOU LITTLE!!!!!!!!!!!
I gasp and fall forwards, Malum's rage is like nothing I've ever felt before. She screams out of her cage and forcfully pulls me in. Too quick to warn my friends what's happing.
--------
Saphira's silly little friends stop arguing, and ask me if I'm fine. They've yet to scence there danger as I'm keeping my eyes hidden.
"Oh... I'm perfectly fine." I purr.
They pause... thinking that something's not quite right. And they are correct! I leap up into the air, sending a circular blast of power around me. Nocking them back. They're slow to get up, and I watch them strugling for a while. I send a bolt of energy at that boy who fell into the trash bens. To my dismay he doges the attack. Everyone's running around as I send dark bolts of energy at them. But, all to soon I feel Saphira gaining control. I gasp as I'm pulled in..in...into the cage.
-------
"It's OK. I'm good now." I groan before passing out.
(March 22, 2018 - 5:33 pm)
(March 24, 2018 - 7:32 pm)
(March 25, 2018 - 12:52 pm)
Certainly!
Phalan~
We all rush towards Sophia. She's passed out now. Luckily Malum only took control of her for a few moments. I sigh in relief, and kneel down towards her, just to check that everything is okay. I wave the others away, and they walk backwards a few paces. Everyone except for Mantyx. He looks really worried, and slightly guilty. Probably because he just got possessed again. Nobody got, like, mortally injured or anything, but he looks so worried. Mostly he's staring at Sophia. However, he should probably back off a little farther. If Malum takes hold while Sophia is passed out.... I sigh, and turn away from him. He seems really attacthed to Sophia. It would probably hurt his feelings if I waved him away. I turn my attention to Sophia, and suck in air through my teeth.
Not good. When Malum was in control, she was hovering, so when Sophia shoved her inner demon back into its cage, she fell. Right on her ankle. It's twisted in a uncomfortable-looking way.
It looks like her it is really badly sprained. I start to wave over Viki, she's the best at helping treat wounds, when I have this... weird premonition-like feeling. Like there's another world where I'm just kneeling in knee-deep grass, waving gently in the wind. Hills all around me, and where the town should be, just...... more hills. The sun, shining down on me. Comepletely silent except for the soft rustle of grass. No animals at all. Even the plants just feel... dead.
I feel alone.
Comepletely alone.
Then it passes. Viki is right next to me, feeling Sophias' ankle, saying, "How about here? It hurts more? More than here?" She moves her hand to a different part of Sophias' foot, and Sophia gasp slightly. "No, no, what you just pressed hurts the most." Sophia's awake now. When did that happen?
Never mind.
"Oh-I think I know where the witch is now." Sophia exclaims. She starts to lever herself up into a sitting postion. Viki glares at her for a moment, and then nods her assent. Sophia gets up into a sitting position, as Maya asks, "How do you know?" "I kind of... reached into Malums' memories. That's why she got mad and possessed me. It's right up.... that way."
Sophia points to my right. There's a large hill, nothing especially special except for....
Mmmm.
That grass looks suspiciously unhealthy.
Kind of gross too.
I start to walk up to the hill when Brynn grabs my arm. "Why are you just walking up there? We don't know what kind of defenses the witch would have put up to ward off intruders. Plus... this is kind of going too quickly...." I stare at her for a moment. She quickly lets go of my arm and retreat back a few steps. "Yeah, you're right. Maybe we should eat lunch. It's about one o'clock now." I say. It's surprising how quickly time passes here. I turn back to the hill as the others unpack lunch. This seems too simple..... I look back and see the others involved in conversation. Perhaps to go and look onto the ridge wouldn't take too long..... I have to know. I turn back and quickly and silently sidle up the hill.
~~~~~~
I was thinking that the witch's house could move, a bit like Babba-Yagga's house. Then this RP could go on for a little longer, and more plot points could develope.
Also, as our Curses draw closer, maybe the symptoms could surface more and more.
(March 25, 2018 - 3:20 pm)
Leanne~
"I'm fine." Saphira mutters in a sort of purr that doesn't sound right. I narrow my eyes. She doesn't feel right. Getting my visions... I don't know, I guess it's sort of a side effect... I see more than other people. It's like I have an inner feeling of the past, present, and future, and the people in it. I don't know how to explain it.
Suddenly, Saphira's eyes flash and she rises into the air. She sends dark bolts of energy firing down at us, and nearly gets that boy- Mantyx?, but he dodges skillfully. And suddenly everything goes dark. I see a flaming village, with people running haphazardly away from the flames. And over it all hovers Saphira-Malum, letting out a manic laugh, her eyes glinting with malicious pleasure at the destruction.
And then the scene changes, shifting to an old, bent woman in a hood, humming to herself and using a gnarled stick to get along. And without warning voices call through the vision. "Leanne? Leanne?...
"Leanne!"
I awake on the ground, with everyone's anxious faces peering over me, including Saphira, who looks tired, shaky, and a bit guilty. I am trembling in a cold sweat, my chest heaving. "H-how bad..." I breathe shakily. The other Cursed look a bit uncomfortable. "Wellll..." Naomi trails off, but Maya finishes bluntly for her. "You were shaking on the ground, and muttering... things."
I hastily get to my feet, still feeling weak from the visions. "Oh." I fix my eyes on the ground.~
Sorry, that's all I got time for.
