Spontaneous RP!
Sometimes I feel like we get so caught up in the developement and rules of a RP that it dies before we even make it very far (I know that's happened to me...Combat Cliff RPG, Griffinfeather RPG the first...and more).
So, let's just do some writing.
two rules.
1. Put forth your absolute best. Even if it's not going to be published or maybe no one else but me will read it. It's good for your writing. Trust me.
2. Make sure everything lines up! Mostly!! Inserting random flying unicorns is okay, but killing a character off and then making them reappear might be a little confusing.
If you are still confuzzled, check out this thread to see what I mean:
http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/65463
just make up a character and join the story. You can be a character I've mentioned or somebody new. My characters are Pheonix and Carlena.
Without further ado, let us begin.
~
"Carlena scratched at the wall's smooth surface, her heart pounding so loud she could hardly think. The dark rectangle seemed to close in around her, pressing in on all sides; squeezing her lungs flat and yanking away all the oxygen. The air was hot and sizzling with frusteration and fear. Throwing herself against the wall, Carlena melted onto the floor. She was stuck. Enclosed in a horrible crystal box while her own dear sister, Caroll, was set on destroying Jewel Academy. All she could do was sit here, helpless and terrified out of her wits, while Caroll did away with everything she worked towards. Carlena tried to take a calming breath and found she could not breath. The walls were closing in...her eyes whirled crazily around the shadows; searching for an exit. If Cassey doesn't get the children out of the academy in time, they'll all... Carlena let out a frusterated gasp of despiration. Oh come on, Carlena! You can't let a little claustrophobia defeat you, girl! She said to herself. The spunky Galaxy Witch sat up slowly and brushed back the gigantic bush of chalk-white, ankle length hair from her damp forehead. Carlena then—"
"Pheonix! Jaihra's on the phone!" My older sister called from downstairs.
"COMING!" I yelled back, dropping The Charming Adventures of Carlena the Galaxy Witch to the floor. Galexia looks up at me in surprise from her nest of pillows on the floor, her eyes clouded, obviously still deep inside the story.
"But...that's not fair! Nixie!" My little sister moans, "What happens to Carlena? What happens to the seven sisters and the academy?"
"You're just going to have to find out next time!" I say with a wink. Galexia shakes her head furiously, sending her fluffy brown pigtails into a frenzy,
"It's not fair that I don't get to see what happens next because you wanna go talk to your giiiiirlfriend," she says angrily. On the last word, an evil smile begins to curl on her lips. I stop half-way to the door.
"Jaihra is NOT my girlfriend. And we have very important things to talk about," I retort hotly before rushing out of Galexia's frilly, pink bedroom and down the stairs, taking the story book with me. The wood steps creak under my feet as I race down, nearly slipping on the last one.
"Yeah, Jaihra, he's coming," I hear my 21-year-old sister, Andromeda, say, Rounding the corner, I can see her leaning against the counter in a red tank top and shorts, her long brown hair in a messy braid over one shoulder. She has my phone tucked between her hear and shoulder while she casually flips through pages of her sketchbook, twirling a bright blue pencil with her free hand.
"I'm here!" I yell breathlessly in her face.
"Took you long enough," she says, rolling her eyes and handing over the phone, "go take your chatting upstairs. You two 'll talk my ears off. Upstairs!" She commands, pointing her pencil.
"Hi Jaihra!" I greet into the phone.
"Hi Pheonix! Ummm...are you alone??" She asks cautiously, "I have an update on...you know...project Milky Way Sorceress and...uh...the Precious Stone School," she hints not-so-subtly.
"Yeah, just a sec," I answer, dashing back upstairs to my room and bouncing onto my bed.
"Okay! Shoot!" I exclaim, tossing down the story book beside me. It flips open to the title page; which is covered with words I'm glad Galexia can't read yet.
For my nephew, Pheonix. I hope you enjoy my charming adventures!!! Please keep in mind that these are all absolutely true and my heroism was not exagerated in the least. Hope that you can soon join me in Jewel Academy! Once you set out on your journey to find it, that is.
xoxoxoxoxoxo <3 <3 <3
Your Aunt Carlena, the spunky Galaxy Witch
P.S. do not show this to anyone or I may have to incenerate them.
I let the book cover slide closed. Yeah, Galaxia, we do have important things to talk about.

I watch as Raja walks away towards the banquet table, then wink playfully at Phoenix and Jaihra, "Good idea. Let's go get some food!"
I bounce off after Raja, leaving Phoenix and Jaihra to follow me. I hear Phoenix mutter something about "annoying little kids." I look back and roll my eyes, something I've observed older kids do a lot when they get annoyed. It seems like a good idea, especially because it annoys the older kids when I do it!
I turn around and grin to myself. I really am evil.
I start running, past Raja, who looks surprised to see me whizzing past. I sprint into the palace and dance and see Adrian standing by the buffet. I skip over to him and share my latest prank. We laugh until our stomachs hurt, then Adrian picks up a flower and says, "You should try one of these."
I look at it dubiously, "Flowers are edible? Since when?"
"Well, they're edible in fairyland, at least."
I shrug and pick up a purple one, "Here goes nothing." I plop the whole thing into my mouth and chew on it. My eyes widen at the delicious, sugary taste that pervades my mouth, "Mmm..."
"Yummy, right?"
With my mouth full, I can't talk, so I settle for nodding.
Suddenly, Jaihra, Raja, and Phoenix walk over to us. Nixie looks annoyed, "Did you just roll you eyes at me?!"
Adrian and I exchange and glance and laugh, "Yeah."
"Young lady, since when did you learn how to roll your eyes?" Nixie asks, throwing his hands up.
I laugh at his exasperation and wave at the flowers, "Come have one. They're delicious."
Raja nods in agreement, "Yup. Saphira gave me one. They're quite good."
Phoenix--all for food--grabs a yellow one and pops it into his mouth. Jaihra follows suit.
"Good, right?"
They nod, and Phoenix grabs another one, "C'mon, guys!" he says with his mouth full, "Let's EAT!"

I am mucking out the stables when I get the news about the ball, appartenly they need a fill in for a sick guard and everyone else was either going to the ball or had something else to do.
When the time for the ball came I put on some armor that fits around my wings and my usual golden brown cloak. I look myself over in the mirror, golden tan skin, ruby red hair that is always ruffled, alert hazel eyes, tall figure, I look almost human exept for the 5 gold flecks that adorn each side of my face in order from largest to smallest, the largest being just past my eyes on the outer side of my face and the smallest just past the other side of my eyes, closer to my nose. I think I look good considering that I spend most of the night flying instaid of sleeping. Then I walk into the ballroom and stand at my position near the balcony.
A few hours later an actual guard instaid of a replacement informs me that my shift is over and I can 'Go join the revalries.' which I had no intention of doing in the first place so I go into the restroom and took off my guard uniform to reveal a simple white button up shirt with black pants. I even switch out my shoes, if you start something you might as well finish it, though I keep my cloak on which ruins the 'casual but cool' effect I was going for but I don't mind. Not when I could hear the wind rustle through the trees, calling my name. I was given the name Zephyr which means Wind Chaser because I am always flying, always going where the wind tells me to go. I look around to make sure no one is watching as I stride in the direction of the highest balcony which is above the garden. When I get to the balcony I stretch my arms but not my wings, seeing as I stretched them earlier and considering that they are still beneath my cloak, then I stand on the edge of the balcony and I jump off. I let myself freefall for a good 30 secconds as I hurtle twards the earth, then I open my wings and catch the updraft and soar into the night, so absorbed in my exhilerating flight to notice the people in the garden.

Moriel says "taux" which translates to rate in french. I didn't know you spoke french! What are you rating?

Phoenix~
It kind of seems like we've been in fairyland forever.
Like this strange limbo between everything real and everything crazy is now home.
I'm good with crazy.
Twirling Jaihra around the fountain, I leave her breathless, shaking her head and laughing like "can you believe him?" I thought I was really light on my feet.
That'll show Galexia.
Then I sense fairy food and saunter over to Raja, and join her in devouring these yummy little flower thingies. Meanwhile, Jaihra chases Galexia around the garden, yelling for the little monkey to give her byte back. She would have sounded intimidating if she weren't trying so hard not to laugh.
If only Andromeda were here. Then maybe I would be able to completely except the whole magic thing. Because I feel like a part of me is still back home. Doing my homework. Reading to Galexia. Listening to the boisterous singing accompanied by the clanging of dishes from Andromeda downstairs. Maybe I'd text Jaihra or sit back and look up at the stars, fleeting thoughts of Mom or Dad or magic or my crazy aunts flitting through my head occasionally. I've always wanted to be different, right? But now I'm here. Having a blast in fairy land. And it's fun and cool, and more natural then anything back home. But I do miss my sister. My family. I wonder if we'll ever all be together again.
Having retrieved her byte, Jaihra sidles up next to me.
"I think I've got some info about the fairy tech," she says in a low voice.
"And....?" I ask, letting her have her line.
"So, Jai Trey's gonna hack it," she provides, right on cue. Now this is something totally normal. In fact, seeing Jaihra go without messing with some techie thingie or breaking into important files for so long is very unusual.
"Okay gre—"I start to say, but I'm cut off as Galexia gives a little scream of surprise.
I look up in time to see a great shadow swoop over the garden.

We danced until the song was over.
"Want to get some food?"
"Why not." Lennon smiled.
We saw our new friends eating the kingdoms' specialty sugar flowers.
"Delicious, aren't they?" Lennon exclaims, calmly.
"That is what everyone has been saying for the past twenty minutes." Raja replies, as she puts another sugar flower in her mouth.

Jaihra~
A giant bird like figure swooped over us; Galexia screamed. Lyra? I quickly scanned the garden, and Lyra was sitting at the fountain, wings in. The mystery figure landed right next to her, folding his wings simultaneously. Lyra, with her calm and poised demeanor, didn't hesitate to stand up and introduced herself calmly.
When it seemed like they were in conversation, I turned back to Phoenix. "If I do manage to get into the system, we can find the second half of the map, and get out of this place!"
"Ok cool, so... when can you do that?"
"As soon as this ball is over, but we still need something. They have a fancy DNA encryption thing for the most important files. Only the King and Queen have access. We need to get a hair or something from them, and tonight is our best bet. Tomorrow they won't be out in the open like this."
"They have body guards, how are we supposed to pull on if their hairs out?"
"Maybe check their seats? A hair might have come off." Phoenix and I loitered around, casually checking the seats they were sitting on.
"So the King has black hair, and the Queen's is sort of rose gold-ish." Phoenix informed me.
"Strawberry blonde?"
"Um I guess." We double checked the seats.
"This isn't going to work. We need a distraction of some sort."

Saphira~~~
I sigh inwardly, all this boring talk about this and that... I wish my father was here. But he's off exploring Fairy Land probaly getting into some big trouble. I look around and notice everyone snooping around the chairs. I quickly exsuse myself and sneak up onto them. I over hear them talking about trying to find the next piece of the map. They're talking about hacking into the fairy files to try and find it.
"You do realize that you could just ask me for the map right? It's kinda rude to hack into the private files of the people who are allowing you to stay." I say.
Everyone jumps and looks at me with a guilty look on their faces.
"Don't worry, I won't tell any one. You'll want this," I pull out one of my hair and hand it to Jaihra, "And the password is SaphiraIsAwesome. You didn't hear this from me by the way. Also, please don't snoop into the other files I would perfer to have some of our secrets intact."
(June 8, 2018 - 11:04 am)
Wait, actually, I said earlier that Phoenix's last name was Starz. Never mind!
(June 8, 2018 - 11:58 am)
(June 8, 2018 - 7:48 pm)
Sorry, that post was a little random. I said that I didn't give them a last name, and so maybe it could be Letter, but then I looked back and like my second or third post, and I said it was Starz. But it doesn't really matter anyway!

I was more planning an "oh gosh I didn't see you people there sorry for scaring you by jumping off a balcony" enterance but this is fine too. I'm imagining that Lyra and Zeph were friends but he had to but off communications with her because something happened, possibly because he was framed for something and he dissapeared. He has been hiding from her since because he didn't know how to tell her that he was kicked out.
~~~
I flew around for a few minutes before I saw Lyra. Just as I last saw her, what was it, 5 years ago? Sitting alone in a garden, watching, waiting for someone who would likely never show up. Me.
Suck it up Z you have to tell her now or you might not see her again. Also why wait much longer? Some hope that you might be redeemed? It's been years. You're not going back.
I think to myself as I start my decent, banking to the right to spiral down swiftly before landing next to her. "Hey L."
"Zeph! Where have you been? It's been years!" she exclaims
"How've you been holding up at Jewl?" I respond
"Quite well I think... my memory's a bit fuzzy" Lyra says "Anyway how have your studies been holding up?"
"Not too good considering..." I trail off as she looks at me expectantly
"Considering what?"
"I kinda got kicked out of Jewl."
"WhAt?"
"Yeahhhhh..."
"wHaT?" Lyra repeats, dumbfounded.
~~~
Hope I didn't control Lyra too much
