Spontaneous RP!
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.

It's fine if you didn't post anything for the past month! We still included Sam in our posts. Currently, in what the rest of us have written, she's riding a purple pegasus with Galexia towards the royal palace of Fairyland, which doesn't really fit with what you wrote... Sorry, but could you rewrite it so it fits with what we've written so far? Thanks!

Saphira~~
I struggle out of the gaurds iron grip and give up.
"Would you please let me go?" I beg.
"Sorry Your, Magisty, her highness has comaned me not to let you escape." He says.
"I need to go check on my friends, they can't fly." I snap.
"No can do." He says.
I sigh, I hate playing this card.
"As your princess I COMAND you to let me go!" I growl.
He shakes his head no.
"Grr..." I grumble.
I free a hand and reach up to touch his face. With a pop and a flash of purple light he's turned into a frog.
"Now I want you to think about your behavior!" I snap.
I fly back the way we came and search for them. After a while I see the glittering wings of pegasuses. I fly over and am pleased to see everyone on their backs.
"Hi!" I say.
They glare at me and Galexia snaps out
"You're a fairy princeses! Why didn't you tell us!?"
"Uh..." I can feel my face blushing bright red "Not somthing I mention at first."
The pegasuses whine impasently. I look over at them and grin.
"My babies!" I squeal.
"Uh... what?" Sam asks.
"These are my pegasuses! You're riding on Shooting Star. The yellow one is Dancing Flames. And the red and pink one is Rainbow Razzle. Ahh, I missed you guys." I say.
"You have peguses?" Jaihra asks.
"One of the privleges of being royalty. Also, you don't have to use magic to control them they understand what you want. Just tell them." I say.
They nod and I'm pleased to see releash their magic on them. I can hear shouting in the distance and I grown.
"Great." I sigh.
The royal gaurd surounds me and starts talking about how I shouldn't fly off and blah, blah, blah.
"We're almost thier! Look, you can see the city lights from here." I interupt.
~~~~~
Hope y'all don't mind that I named the pegasuses! If you think I'm being to controling just let me now I'll lay off a bit.
(May 19, 2018 - 5:20 pm)
TOP!
(May 21, 2018 - 3:45 pm)
Hulllloooooo guess who's back from vacation!
Wildflower: Is it Queen Titania?
Sam: Merlin?
Wildflowe: No, maybe Hamlet.
Sam: Did you say omlet?
No, no, it's me! I'm back from vacation!
Wildflower: Oh, so we're not talking about anything exciting here. Goodbye.
Wait! Augh.
Anyway, it looks like I have a lot to catch up on. Fairies and pegasi and royalty, oh my!
Anyhoo, keep this topped! Let's blow some more things up and annoy stuffy fairy royalty! Yay!
(May 21, 2018 - 4:18 pm)
Yay! You're back! Welcome back, Rose bud! I can't wait to see what Phoenix has to say about this magic pegasi and fairy princess stuff!
(May 21, 2018 - 7:26 pm)
Raja
~~
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" I howl with the wind as we fly farther into the sky. I see Lyra catch Jaihara. Dathan was clinging to me for dear life, clearly not trusting this pegasis, what was it's name again, Rainbow Razzle? I grin, broadly. I have a wikid Idea. " Where to, Your Magesty?"
"Don't call me that!" Saphira hissed at me, then returned to cooing at her pegasi.
" Would you prefer Your Magnanimous Holiness? Its seems a better title for a highborn noble!" I say, my grin streching wider.
" I hate you, you know that?"
Pheonix burst into laughter, " Magnanimous Holiness?! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
" Can you two not?" She growled.
" NOPE!" I say cheekily, " its my job. To. Be. Annoying!"
The Fairy guards growl at me, " Feline brat, do NOT speak to your highness like that. You, being locked away for years, not bothering to aid others. Lazy, just like your cat friends." One snarls.
" You just spoke your death sentince." I say, in a dark voice, I feel my nails turning into claws.
" Raja..." Saphira warns me.
I turn my cat-like neon eyes to her. " Tell this trash guard who he is messing with. I am the ambasitor for the Dsacel. They have NO RIGHT calling upon our previous mistakes." I say, tilting my head in a menacing way, malice gleaming in my eyes. " C'mon Dathan."
" Nonono- WAIT-" We fly off to Pheonix and the others who were waiting a few yards away.
" What was that abou-" Pheonix wuestions.
" Later."
" Okay then..."
~~~~~~
Maby there was a war before, and the fairys asked for the Dsacel's help, but they couldn' t make it under mysterious circumstances. The Faairys won barely, losing many lives. Meep :P My captcha tho, Hpno XD
(May 21, 2018 - 5:55 pm)
I think Phoenix and Raja should hang out together. They'd make quite the mischevious pair!
I think I referenced earlier that Phoenix is 15 ("kept all this from us for 10 years, then left us for five years" or something like that in the second post). I think he should be younger like I said in my last post about him being 13.
I would warn you about the length, but at this point, I think y'all know my tendencies.
Phoenix~
I can feel that Jaihra has been glaring at me from behind ever since Lyra dropped her back on my pegasus. Geez, Pegasi should have seat belts.
"It was an accident," repeat, twisting around to face her.
"Hey! Watch the road!" She exclaims in response, and I quickly bend back over Dancing Flame's wild yellow mane, making sure not to dangle my legs where they might be swept up by the pegasus' great, sweeping wings.
"It's okay," Jaihra says softly next to my ear.
I let out quick, relieved breath. Okay, so my only friend in the world isn't mad at me.
Good to know.
"This is just amazing, you know? The magic, and the fairyland, and Saphira being like, a legit fairytale queen—not sure how I feel about that, anyway, but it's cool, so..." I shrug and continue, "and the pegasi! I'm a natural flier, of course." I flip my now almost completely lemon-yellow hair so that it catches the wind and blows straight back. With every majestic flap of Dancing Flame's wings, my heart jumps as the thrill of soaring, the danger of the ground whizzing fast below, and the rush of wind all whirl together.
Jaihra gives a rare laugh at my antics. Encouraged, I bend low over Dancing Flame's neck, drawing her into gentle swoops and turns, while I whoop and holler along with Raja, flying beside me. Somehow we both end up laughing and screaming insanely, doing crazy stunts like holding out both arms ("LOOK JAIHRA NO HANDS!! oops...), and twirling into devilish loop-de-loops.
When we finally catch up to the others, exhausted with laughter, I gently encourage Dancing Flames to slow down. The fairyland sun in front of us is much larger than the one on Earth. And it also seems to give off the same amount of light without being painful to look at.
"You may be completely insane," she starts between breathless gasps, "but you do have more energy than a hyper child. And your optimism..." She continues talking, but I barely hear her. Instead, another, softer ghost of a voice fills my head.
I don't want you to be like me. You will always have enough hope and joy that you will inspire everyone around you, alright? A flash of memory quickly flits through my mind. My mother's face; tired, faded. Her skin, pale and cold to touch. Her eyes, which may have once been the same Day-Glo, gleaming shade of yellow as mine were the color of dying amber embers. I get the sense in the dim memory that her swishing locks of cream hair were brushing against my face as she leaned in close to say something more...something important...
but then it's gone. All I can think of is yellow. A yellow flash of magic. Gold ruffled phoenix feathers. Yellow like the last sparks I always looked for in my mother's eyes.
Gosh, I'm just drowning in yellow over here. Can something happen to me that's like green-themed? Or not so magically, metaphorically yellow? No? Okay, thanks anyway for trying, galaxy.
"Uh Phoenix?" Jaihra says, bringing me to the present.
"Yeah?"
"You looked like you were thinking profound, philosophical thoughts."
"Ummm....no," I answer.
"Oh good, I was worried."
"Ha ha," I retort, but my heart isn't into it. The strange memory is already starting to fade. It seems misplaced somehow, like I can't even imagine when it happened or what it's about. The more I think about it, the less sense it makes. Mom never let her hair down, like ever. And that flash of yellow I associated the memory with. Is that just my weird brain, thinking about magic, or did something happen...something that I can't quite remember.
AUGH this is going to drive me nuts.
Suddenly realizing that I'd fallen slightly behind the others, I pull up by Raja, who is quickly closing in on Saphira, cheekily teasing her. Okay, note to self, spend more time with Raja. I mean, Magnanimous Holiness? I should take notes.
"Tell this trash guard who he is messing with. I am the ambassador for the Dsacel. They have NO RIGHT calling upon our previous mistakes," Raja bursts out in a sudden change of conversation. Okay, she lost me at ambassador.* What does that even mean???
I pick up the pace, hoping to get another loop-de-loop in before we get to wherever we're going. Raja pulls up beside me.
"What was that about—" I begin, but she cuts me off.
"Ooookay, then."
Behind me, Jaihra gasps and prods me in the shoulder. I look up. Against the setting sun (which I can look straight at in fairyland!!! yaaaay) rises several tall spires.

*Making me think of a scene from the old Newsies. You know what scene :P

(May 23, 2018 - 10:22 am)
Nice idea.
(May 23, 2018 - 8:30 pm)
hi everyone. Is it okay if I join the RP for just one scene with two characters who I would like to reaccur in other RPs for just scene? In movies and books there are often characters that are introduced briefly and don't really come back again. I could also do a few smaller scenes if it would make more sense. I did read through the whole RP so far and everything.

Sounds great, Glampanda. You're welcome to join in at any time or join the group if you want to.

HERE COMES THE DEBUE OF THE CHARRIES THAT WILL JUST REAPPEAR IN MANY RPs, LENNON & WINN!
- Lennon-
Ribbit, Ribbit
Oh no.
Ribbbitt
NOT AGAIN!
A purple burst of magic shoots out of me to turn Winn back to a human.
Winn flips his short white hair, which usually means he's happy, but his face doesn't show a gentle expression...
"Oh my gosh, IT HAPPENED AGAIN!" Winn shouts. "Can't that darn princess respect her elders orders?"
"Winn, have I ever told you how cute you look when you are angry?"
"OH STOP it, Len. My face is getting red, I'm clenching my fists, how could that look attractive?"
"Maybe you are turning.... frog evil? And after how I changed for you, Winnie."
"Now I can't be mad anymore. Thanks for turning me back, Lennie."
" I lo-
"What's that windy sound?"
"Sounds like pegasi, but..."
"I wonder who is riding them..."
It was kind of short, I know, but hopefully Winn and Lennon will meet the rest of the gang soon?

Saphira~~~
The pegasuses land on the landing pad and everyone slips off of them. They're all staring with open mouths at every thing around them, all I feel is dread. Soon stomping fills the air and my mother rounds the corner. Her long brown hair is flying and her crown sits crookedly on her head. My little brother follows slowly behind her, his blond hair getting blown around by the heavy breeze. I wince in preperation for the lashing about to follow.
"SAPHIRA!" She shouts.
"Hi Mom." I mumble.
"NOT A WORD! FOR THE PAST CENTURY! YOU NEVER VISIT, YOU DON'T CALL, THE ONLY TIME YOU GET HOME IS WHEN YOU NEED SOMETHING!" She roars, "BETWEEN WORRY ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DAD IT'S A WONDER I GET ANY WORK DONE!"
She then swoops me up in a huge hug.
"Please, call every once in a while." She whispers in my ear.
"Saphira!" Adrian shouts.
I smile and hug him fondly.
"You're finally back! And who are these people?" He asks.
"Well, these are the new students for my school! Of course... we'll have to save the school first. This is Sam, Raja, Phonix, Jaihra, Galexia, and Lyra." I say.
"Cool!" He exclaims.
"Mom, is it OK if we can settle them down into a room... maybe get them some new clothes? Then we can catch up." I say.
"Sure, that's fine. We'll talk soon." Mom says.
I nod and walk over them, with Adrian following.
"If you follow me I can show you to your rooms. We can rest and recuparate before finding the next part of the map." I say.
They nod and I lead them down the hallways to the sleeping quarters.
"Who are you?" Sam asks Adrain.
"I'm Adrain." He says, "Saphira's little brother."
"Anything else you forgot to mention Saphira?" Jaihra asks.
"Nope. The only thing I need to add is that my father is out exploreing and we'll probaly be forced to attend a ball." I say, "Ah! Here we are. Just choose what ever room you want. We'll be attending diner so you should clean your selves up. Just open the wardrobe and it'll choose the right outfit for you to wear. When you're done you can come find me or just hang out."
They nod and I leave them to choose out their room. I wave to Adrain and fly off to my room.
~~~~
OK! If anyone wants to they can take over Adrain (He's about eight years old).
(May 25, 2018 - 11:31 am)
Winn-
As we were going upstairs, I saw Lennon's gorgeous short violet hair flow in the air as he ran.
"Wait up!" I hollered at him.
Alas, Lennon got to Saphira's room first.
"Listen up, Princess Saphira the Buttercup! You turned my...um....friend into a-"
"Wait, he has purple hair and eyes. Doesn't that mean he has evil magic?" said a male voice about our age.
"Um, actually....."
"Allow me to explain." I say as I finally reach the room out of breath. "Lennon, well, when I first met him he definitely had evil magic in his heart, and he still does, I mean, he changed soon after. I don't know how or why though. He just uses his evil magic for... good things."
"How did you get here, Lennon?" said the boy who had lemon colored streaked hair
"Funny story. I was on my way to Jewel Academy when my evil magic got out of control and they had to drop me off here. Anyways, FROG! You turned Winn into frog!" he said to Saphira.
"Again!" I say. "The day before you left for a century, you turned me into a frog! Thankfully, your mom saved me! I don't know what all the faires would do without her. Oh, and Lennon, he turned me back this time."
"You need to promise to stop, Saphira!" Lennon exclaimed.
At that second it occured to me that I didn't know any of the names of the teenagers sitting in front of me, listening to our conversation, so I cast a spell to put name tags on all of them.
"Help us find Jewel Academy and you can have anything."
__________________________________________________________________________________
I'm really excited for Winn and Lennon to be part of this. I hope I didn't go to far with Saphira!

~~
I quickly skirt to my room, thank my escort & stare at the large space, the walls are sky blue, with a chocolate brown wooded floor. There is a huge canopy bed which is a lovely soft evergreen color. " Nice~" I purr as I peek into the luxuriously large bathroom, complete with a bathtub! I retreat to the main room and drop my satchel onto the bed, and wrap my previous injury which still had that tingling sensation, from when Pheonix had healed it. A smile ghosted my lips at that, then I remembered. " Saphira said something about a ball..." I fling the wardrobe doors open and make a sound that sounded like a gasp mixed with a squeal. Garments of all colors, shapes and sizes fill my view I quickly pick out the two that 'speak' to me. One is a light green with a moss-like pattern on the bottom, with a sash at the waist and neck with evergreen gloves. The other is a soft, light tan color with roses from the collar down to the hip, scattering from there to the bottom, and on the other side at the chest are leaves, and they turn into branches at the hip, winding around the side of the dress, it comes with elbow length white gloves. I choose the second, and preen in the mirror, before I out a rose in my hair. I grin at my reflection then stick my head out and ask a passing fairy when the ball will be.
~~
Assuming the ball is tonight, she was asking for the time! I drew the two drawings! Hope you like them!
