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.

@Aspen, I omitted parts about Lyra going to the Academy, so you can decide her backstory. :)
Jaihra~
Next morning...
"Fairy land has been fun, but I really think we need to get to Jewel Academy." Phoenix said. We all sat in Saphira's room.
"We have both sides to the map now!" Galexia told Andromeda excitedly.
"I'm impressed. Where did you find the second half?"
"Turns out Saphira had it all along." I replied, a little passive aggressively. "But we still don't know what it means."
"Zephyr has been, right? He can show us where to go." Sam added.
"The location is very secretive, I could try and dechipher the map, but I don't know where it is."
I pulled up the completed map on my Byte. Zephyr pointed to a glowing jewel icon. "It's there."
"Ok, but where are we?" I asked. We squited at the map. Everything was in a different language. Swirling glyphs labeled the different areas.
"I think fairyland might be here." Saphira zoomed into a solar system and pointed to a small planet.
"Great, so now we have to somehow create a route. And get a ship."
"I can get us a ship. But someone has to fly it." Saphira replied.
"I CAN FLY IT!! I KNOW HOW TO FLY! PLEASE!" Phoenix shouted eagerily.
"NOOOOO!" Everyone said in unison.
"I could do it." Said Dathan.
"Me too! I promise I won't crash us like last time, because i have exper-"
"Dominique can do it too, he got me all the way here!" Andromeda flashed a smile at the pilot boy, and his face reddened.*
"Ok, then we just have to figure out how to get there."

Thanks, Fidelity.
A little more on Lyra's backstory: So I mentioned Lyra's foster parents in my first post. She's lived with them all her life. I'm not sure how she could have met Zephyr, but as that's been made a part of the plot, maybe we could work it out.
(June 22, 2018 - 11:30 am)
Just a suggestion: Maybe Lyra could have met Zephyr before she went to live with her foster parents? I'm assuming she's an orphan, since she's living with a foster family, so... maybe Zephyr could also be an orphan and they could have met in the orphanage? Aspen and Darkking, these are your charries, so, of course, you don't have to listen to my suggestion.
Gummy says paag. As in, page? Yes, I agree; TOP, and let's keep this amazing RP on the first page!

I’m sorry guys, but this calls for desperate measures.
Jaihra~
Great, our plan was a go.
“We can leave right away, follow me.” We followed Saphira toward the ship bay.
Then there was a scream. A scream followed by an explosion. An explosion followed by shouting.
”What’s happening?” Galexia whimpered. The shouting was getting louder. At the end of the hall, there was a gang of officials running towards us.
”Get the blue haired girl and the yellow haired boy!” Said the head official.
”That’s me!”
“Shush Phoenix.”
”Why aren’t we running?”
”Because the ship bay is on fire!”
”SHUT UP GUYS JUST FIGHT.” An official grabbed Andromeda’s hand. She shot a blast of blue energy out of it, sending the official flying. More officials we’re streaming in. Dathan and Lyra were stunned. I picked up the gun from the unconscious official, along with his byte. I stunned a couple guards, then passed it to Dominique. I scrolled through his byte carefully.
”Guys, this may be our only way out, but if we knock out the guards, we could take their ship out of here.” I’m not sure if anyone heard me. I could see officials grab Phoenix and Andromeda. Everybody else was stunned. I started to panic. There was no way I could fend off against that many people. I could hide. Then I could wait until everyone woke up.
I quietly shuffled into a corner.
“Jai!” A little girl reaches out for my hand.
”Galexia, shhhh.”
”Jai, Nixie and Andromeda are being taken away! You have to help them!” Galexia was tugging at her hair. It was caught in a door crack.
“I can’t fight against that many guards! They’re looking for us, we have to go!” I reached up to help untangle her hair.
“We have to help them!”
“Shhhh!”
Galexia prodded Lyra’s unconsious body. “Lyra, wake up! Come on, you have to help!”
“Get those two!” The guards noticed us. I grabbed Galexia’s hand, and kept tugging on her hair.
“Let go of my brother and sister!” Galexia was about to cry. “I need them.” Andromeda knew the voice of her little sister.
“Galexia? Go, we’ll be fine! Just-” Andromeda was struggling against guard. A guard raised his gun to stun her.
Through tears, Galexia screamed. The ends of her hair came off, and her hair turned into a wave of bright purple.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Was this way too much? @Cassandra, feel free to completely ignore the last part. Ok, well, someone post please. We’re almost at 200! <3
(June 27, 2018 - 7:37 pm)
Whoops, for some reason my last post auto corrected to my friend’s real name. I’m using their phone. Is there anyway to change that without deleting the post? It’s the most recent Jaihra one.
I just changed something, but I'm not sure it's the right one.

I was actually planning for Galexia's powers to be revealed later, but . . . this works as well! Brings more drama into the story! And action is exactly what we need now! Everyone (Other than Fidelity, who just posted :D), please post! Anything!
~ Galexia ~
"Go, Galexia! We'll be fine! Just--" Suddenly, Andromeda was cut off by a guard throwing his hand across her mouth. He brought a gun up to my sister's head.
"NOOOOO!" I shrieked, tears streaking down my face. With a yank, I pulled my hair out of the door that it had been stuck in. Jaihra tried to hold me back, but I struggled against her. As loud as I could, I screamed, "STOP!"
Then, suddenly, the world went quiet. I struggled out of Jaihra's grasp and ran over, kicking and scratching at the guards holding Andromeda and Nixie. It was only after they both fell to the ground that I realized something was wrong. I looked around. Everyone was frozen in the positions they had been in.
"Andromeda?" I asked, my voice small. What had just happened?! "Nixie? Jaihra?"
My lip trembled, and I shook with fear. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past me, ruffling my hair. I tossed my pigtail back over my shoulder, and that's when I noticed the tips of it. The tips of my hair were purple.
My reaction was only natural. I shrieked, tugging at my pigtails. I yanked one hair tie out, letting half of my hair spill down around my shoulders.
"What happened to my hair?" I wondered aloud.
Suddenly, I heard a laugh behind me. It sounded like glass shattering and bells ringing, all in one.
I whipped around and saw a woman standing behind me. She has short, curly purple hair, violet irises, and a calculating look. A necklace of--were those teeth?--hung around her neck. Two silver earings glinted in each ear. She took a step towards me. For a second, I was relieved that she wasn't frozen like everyone else. Then fear gripped me.
"Wh-who are y-you?" I asked, holding my fists up in front of me and trying not to look terrified, like I was.
She laughed again, and I shivered involuntarily. In a flash, she was beside me. Playfully, she tugged my other pigtail out and toyed with the hair tie.
"Why, I'm your big sister in magic," she said laughingly, her voice low and soft.
"No, you're not. Andromeda's my big sister. My only big sister," I said quickly, taking a step towards my real big sister.
"It's a figure of speech," She paused, then a smile spread across her face, "My, what Chastice would say if she knew about this. Her own daughter..." she looked at me, "My dear sister, darling. I'm your Aunt Caroll."
"Aunt Caroll..." I said, doubt lining my words.
She nodded encouragingly, "Yes, little niece. And you, you know, are my favorite niece. I bet you didn't know that. We are very similar, the two of us. Just look at your own hair. It's turning purple, like mine."
I looked down at the tips of my hair and winced, "I want it to be brown again. Why is my hair purple?"
Aunt Caroll looked down at me, almost greedily for a second, then her expression returned to normal again, "Your magic is showing through."
I shook my head, "I don't have magic."
"Oh, yes you do, little niece. You and I, we have the most powerful type of magic. Purple galexial magic. So raw, so pure . . . You are full of power, little niece. Come with me, and I'll help you discover yourself."
For a second, I was tempted, but then I recoiled and shook my head, "I don't mean to be rude, but I . . . I wanna stay with Andromeda and Nixie and Jaihra and Raja and Sam and . . . and everyone. We're going to Jewel Academy together. I can learn magic there, can't I? It's a real magical school."
"Jewel Academy," Aunt Caroll mused, "Jewel Academy. Little niece, how about I meet you there? I suspect we'll have quite a reunion."
With another laugh, she vanished into thin air.
"Aunt Caroll? Where did you go?" I asked, but no one responded.
Suddenly, everyone began moving again. Jaihra clutched at thin air, surprised that I wasn't there. The guards behind them sat up, bewildered, and the rest of the troupe rushed in, screaming and crying out. Andromeda whirled around and started kicking the two guards, who, caught off guard, could only cower under her power. If I hadn't been so shocked, I would have jumped up and down and cheered for her. Chaos reigned around me, but all I could do was stand, dumbfounded, in one spot, thinking over what in the world had just happened.

THANK YOU Fidelity for bringing us back by thrusting the RP unceremoniously and beautifully and mercifully into action and BACK to da first page!!! YIPPEE let's keep it up! ACTION HERE WE COME!!!!!
*ahem.* Perrrfectly calm right now, ohhh yes... Ha, who am I kidding XP
Lyra~
As we're leaving Saphira's planet at last, suddenly a scream pierces the air. Then an explosion and several people shouting. Automatically I tense and arch my wings, ready to take off in a moment, and Galexia edges a little closer to Phoenix. "What's happening?" she breathes in a frightened whimper. And then as the noise intensifies, several officials burst out from around the corner, heading straight for us at a sprint.
The timing of the action which follows seemingly blurs into one swift-running... something in which I'm barely thinking.
"Get the blue-haired girl and the yellow-haired boy!"
"That's me!"
"Shush Phoenix!"
"Why aren't we running?"
"Because the ship bay is on fire!"
"SHUT UP GUYS JUST FIGHT!"
And then, in the moment that one of our assaulters catches Andromeda by the hand and I am just about to run forward and take off, something slams into my chest. The last thing I see as I fall is Dathan crumpling to the floor as blue light flashes from an energy blast.
***
I have no idea how long I lay unconscious, but when my eyes fly open, the fight still continues around me. I turn my head to see Dathan stirring beside me. "Lyra...?" he says in a hoarse half-whisper. I push myself up into a sitting position and shake the hair out of my eyes. And then, something clicks.
"C'mon! The fight isn't over!" I shout. My voice feels scratchy. Must be a side effect from the stupid stunning ray. Without thinking I grab Dathan's wrist and pull him to his feet. For a moment our eyes meet, and something fleeting seems to pass between us. We stand there, breathing quickly, before an official comes running toward us and we're back in the fight. ~
*muttering softly* Heeheehee possible ship ship ship SHH I said NOTHING mwahahaaaa *mischievious grin*
(June 28, 2018 - 7:59 pm)
Oooh... I ship Lyra and Dathan (if it's alright with Queen Elizabeth). I'm terrible at coming up with ship names, but . . . Lythan? Dayra?

I’m typing from the iPad so this will suck a lot... on vacation, so sorry for not posting!
Raja
~~
I look up from the delicious salmon on my plate and walk over to Pheonix and Galexia who are hugging a blue-haired woman and squealing. But my attention is suddenly on the winged figure close to Lyra. “ WHAT, ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!?” I yell at him, my fur standing on end, hackles rising.
” ME!?!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!?” Zephyr screeches back, his wings arching with anger.
“ I’M WITH THEM!” I gesture vaugly to Pheonix and the others.
My face heating slightly as Zephyr looks Pheonix up and down. “ Out of all of the poor souls you could have been *mated with, it had to be him?!” He said in frustration. “Wait,” he sniffed the air. “ You have another—“ he turned to Jaihra, and I punched him hard enough in the jaw for him to stumble backwards.
“ It’s not like that you dunce!” I say, face heating even more.
His eyes narrowed. “ I know what it’s like, Ra—“ He rubbed his sore jaw.
” Don’t call me that.” I growled.
” But,” he continued. “ I would have expected you to be paired with someone better suiting you. Someone preferably dead.” He crooned, brushing a strand of red hair out of his face. His voice becoming a little more than a whisper.
I felt the blood rush out of my face and I stumbled back as if he had hit me back.“ H-how...” I say, lowering my voice.
” You think you’re the only one with secrets, they will find out sooner or later, then what?” He hisses at me.
” Um, hey Pheonix here, question, do you know each other? Mates? What is going on?” Pheonix rambled on about what he didn’t understand and what we were doing and we all should know about it. I kinda zoned out till he said, “ Dead?! That’s horrible!”
“Pheonix, mind your own business!” I snapped, then slapped a hand over my mouth and backed away from them. I didn’t mean to yell I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry! I thought.
” Answer his questions, we are all just as curious!” The blue haired woman commented.
” Don’t give me orders.” I said too quietly. “ If you want to know, find out on your own.” I shifted my weight uncomfortably onto my feet. I quickly turned away from the group. I meandered over to a tree and huffily climbed and perched in it. I started when I saw a silvery figure approach and sit next to me. May. Her colorful figure now monotone.
“ You’re looking better than the last time I saw you.” Her voice sounded melodious to my ears.
“ I’m better.” I murmur to her, “ you look the same.”
“ No kidding.” She deadpans we both chuckle and sit in silence for a while before she stands, gives an extravagant bow and whips away. I smile softly at where she sat, leaning against the tree, and letting loose a sigh.

*Mate means they are chosen to be together such as Jaihra, Pheonix and Raja. Humans feel the faint connection in the back of their mind, and become more aware of it over time. They eventually become curious and walk across the ‘bridge(s)’ in their case and fins the other’s mind, where they have a slight telepathic connection they can only talk if someone wishes too, and you can tell if they want to talk, if you feel a tapping on your end. LYRA X ZEPHYR FOR THE WIN!!!!! Sorry if I controlled the plot, it was HIS IDEA! Points at Darkking.
