Character: Alistair Kioth
Gender: M
Age: Early twenties, late teens
Looks: Brown hair, brown eyes, taller than Dyani, average wieght.
Clothes: Brown pants and loose shirt.  He has a sword.

Dyani: ~poofs in and glances around~ Where the heck am I!?

Alistair:  ~also poofs in and grabs the hilt of his sword~  What just happened?

Dyani:  ~worried look~ Where's Durn!? 

-Dyani looks around as if expecting to find her spaniel running up from nowhere.

Alistair:  We have to get back to Iringar.

Sorry if I totally screw up the characters. I know how weird it is to see someone else writing for your characters. It's almost like they're pretending to be you! Anyways, here's my unneccisarily long post:

 

Shade: (Talking to Ava) A machine gun is a weapon. It's used to hurt people.

Elyana: (Also to Ava) Xell is my dragon, who unfortunately isn't here right now. Speaking of which, Draco, have you seen him? It's so weird being here with nothing but humans!

Draco: I know how you feel. Last I checked, he was with Kerra and Adela... now would someone please explain what's going on here?

Elyana: Far as I can tell, we're all from different places and times, and we're stuck here together in this weird one. Don't ask me why.

Draco: Who are they?

Elyana: *Sighs and introduces everyone* Okay, does everyone know who everyone else is?

~Chorus of yes's~

Myla: Great, now we're all friends. Happy day. (Sarcasm, if you couldn't tell)

Shade: So... what do we do now?

Celeste: We quit this pointless sitting around and go back to where we came from! *Annoyedly floats a few feet above the ground*

Draco: If you know how to do that, then feel free to tell the rest of us!

Demelza: I think it's pretty neat here. I mean, look at all those weird things rushing past! *Points to cars*

Ava: Ooh, I wonder if they talk!

Jesse: *facepalms*

Myla: They're called cars. Get a grip, people.

Dyani: Well, how were we supposed to know that?

Alistair: In case you've forgotten, we're not exactly from modern times...

Elyana: You said it.

Draco: Shh, I hear someone.

~Everyone listens~

Nico: Come on, stop whining!

Cara: But I don't know where I am! I'm so confused...

Nico: Well neither do I, but am I crying about it? No!

Celeste: This just gets better and better...

Ava: I want to go see who they are! *Walks around a corner for a few minutes, coming back with a scowling Nico and a scared-looking Cara* This is Cara, and this is Nicole!

Nico: It's Nico Le! Two words!

Ava: Oh, so your name is just Nico?

Nico: YES!

Ava: Okay, Nicole.

Nico: *Looks like she is about to scream*

Shade: All right, here we go. No I don't know why we're here, this is City 5N or New York in the 21st century, yes we are all from different worlds, and no I have absolutely no idea what to do.

Nico: You read my mind! Are you some sort of witch?

Shade: No. Just awesome.

Myla: *Sighs*

Cara: Um, I just really want to go home right now, so does anyone know how to do that?

Shade: I just told you, I don't! Were you listening at all!?

Cara: *Trembles*

Celeste: *Talking through gritted teeth* This is all terribly infuriating for me, so don't be surprised if my eyes start glowing red soon. If that happens, just run as fast as you possibly can.

Demelza: Really? Why?

Celeste: I'd suggest you not find out.

Demelza: Okaay... creepy...

Lily: I wonder what sort of story this is. It doesn't seem normal.

Nico: What are you going on about, girl?

Lily: Take you, for instance. You're obviously medieval, along with Elyana, Draco, Alistair, and... what's your name again?

Dyani: Dyani.

Lily: Right. You're all medieval, but Shade, Jesse, and Myla are definitely from the future. Probably some sort of sci-fi thing. Anyway, Ava is from the Victorian era, Celeste is probably from... oh, I dunno, not all that long ago, and Demelza and Cara I can't tell. Am I right?

~Everyone stares blankly~

Lily: Oh, forget it. All I'm saying is, this is one pretty weird story. Maybe it's a character lounge!

Elyana: What the *dragon swearword* are you talking about?

Lily: You know, you're the second person to say that to me today...

Okay... here goes...

 

Nico Le: Okay... little pale girl, first of all, you remind me of someone I don't like. Don't get on my nerves.

Lily: ?!

Nico Le: And what the heck is medi vahl? Is it some sort of religion? Or is it code for the Kashiden? But you don't have a scarf so I don't think so-

Lily: Yup, definitely a charachter lounge.

Nico Le: *glares at Lily* Stop using terms I don't know. *Whips back twards Shade* And I take back what I said about you being a sorceress. You don't seem the type. Too tall for one, and too emotional, we magical beings must hide our emotions...

Shade: *Pulls out weapon* I wouldn't be talking shorty!

Cara Coope: Erm... I'm magical too. I'm from the academy and I just want to get back home!!!

Nico Le: *at Cara* Shut it girl. I'm not too fond of you either. *at Shade* And if you don't want to get killed, I suggest you put that pretend weapon away. *Whips out magical sword*

Draco and Elyana grab arms of fuming Shade and pull her back.

Nico Le twirls sword and leans against wall smirking.

 

Notes On My Charries: Nico is a sorceress from a very medival-like world with just one large city in this time point. She is part of a two-sided revolution against the government, but she's on the bad side. Cara however, is a student of magic in a world where you are taken from your family at age 12 to be tested for magical abilities, and it you have them, you are put into the Academy. She's also planning a revolution against the government with a snobby girl, her twin brother, and her friend Katy who's half evil elf and half human.

 

Hope that was good!

BTW: BRILLIANT portrayal of Nico amd Cara;Alexandra. :)

WEell... since we're supposed to see how our characters act in a different setting, and my characters are talking into a recording device so it's from their point of view.... AND Shade is banging in my head with a sword... better let her have her go at Nico Le.

Nico Le: Sorry, but I think Shade's going to try and kill you now. Disclaimer: I, SC, did not try to kill you. Shade did. Entirely her fault whatever happens next.

----------

Shade Eza Chase

This little upstart should really stop relying on her stupid magic sword.

She thinks she can take on us? Me, Jesse, and Myla at the same time? OK, she is like Holly. Insane. Crazy. Loco.

Celeste flew away.

I pulled my other sword out and smiled.

Myla and Jesse got my signal and moved to my sides. Jesse stretched his back and shook out his wings. Fifteen feet, looking like rippling water when he moves them, and very, very strong. I've seen the wind wish they hadn't bothered him. Myla took out her swords, and Jesse held out his hands in front of him. If you didn't know, you'd have thought it was surrender, but he was really readying to shoot out a deadly bolt of ice. And the thing was, he could shoot forever.

Nico Le, on the other hand, could not. And, yes, I was being unfair, three against one, but really, she called my sword pretend. And she was implying that I could not fight, and I could not stand a chance against her. Idiot.

"So, Nicole," I said, slowly moving to the right. Jesse took flight and hovered slightly above us. I set a time bubble around all of us. It wouldn't effect because I made it, Myla because she's got some of my dad's blood, and Jesse for complicated reasons. Unfortunately, Nico Le was not as affected as she should be and still moved decently fast. Stupid enemy magic.

"It's Nico," she said tightly.

"So, Nicole," I repeated, "you seem to think that I couldn't fight my way out of a prison with my hands tied behind my back. Well, you see, that offends me a little bit, and Jesse and Myla too."

Nico Le steadied her sword. "You seem to think that I can't take all three of you," she smiled too. Well then, I'll just have to kill all three of you to make sure you can't bother me again."

Myla spit at her feet, and Jesse froze the spit in midair and splattered it onto the wall behind Nico Le, where it shattered with a little tinkling noise. Nico Le didn't flinch. "You see," Myla said, "we can't die. Kill us, we'll reappear on Drevost, we'll kill ourselves, and then we'll be right back here in no time at all. Good luck with that."

Still Nico Le didn't show suprise. She was pretty good. "I'll keep you dead," she snarled, "I'll find a way."

I charged.

Guns, she was good. Pretty good technique, plus that magic sword. We were even. Up, down, parry, slash, back, front, hold. She could have been a good Hunter. Slash, parry, front hold. She hooked one of mine at the hilt and flung it away. Parry, up, back, riposte, slash. She was slowly winning, but only because she had that stupid magical sword. It kept ____________insert whatever her sword does______________. Jesse occasionally threw down ice to trip her up, but it melted under her feet. Myla, like the idiot she is, just yawned.

I didn't want her as an enemy. Then I would have to watch my back way too much.

But I had Jesse and Myla as well, and she seemed to realize that. She could definitely take me, but not all three of us at the same time. We slowed and backed away.

I stuck out one of my hands. "Truce?"

"No."

I pointed to Celeste, who had flown back in. "Not even for pizza?"

She hesisitated, smelling it. "Smells good."

"Is good," Jesse said.

"Fine." She stuck out her hand, and gave an abrupt handshake.

And then we all ate pizza, a were-wolf and a half-syen showed up, and we talked about how messed up our lives were.

"I think I win," Draco said. "I'm a runaway from the most famous family of dragon slayers, every single boy in my family is one, and I speak Draconian, and I love dragons. And then Kerra got kidnapped, I tried to rescue her, and then Elyana and this horrible guy named Endey helped me, and then I learned that he was a dragon slayer. So I'm in depressed mode right now."

"Nuh-uh," Jesse said. "I win. I was born into the Police, I was supposed to me one of the elite, so I had to learn to expect attack at all times, so my childhood was basically my dad and brothers beating me up all the time. My dad was going to execute Myla when she was ten, and she killed him. But I continued my training, this seriously messed up woman named Holly tortured me for a month so I could learn how to keep a secret, I was set up to become Myla's prisoner so I could spy on the Hunters, and then Shade came. She beat me half to death, Myla disappeared, everybody kept beating me up, I grew wings and could shoot water and got out of there. Now half of my time is spent being Shade's adoptive brother, and her punching bag. I've spent half my life with broken bones, and Traya calls me psychologically damaged. Hows that for messed up?"

"I don't get it," Ava said.

Jesse sighed and patted her had. "I hope you never do get it."

Uh, yeah. A lot of that is kind of my fault.

Genius, SC, GENIUS! I love how they had a truce over pizza, and how they were arguing about who had the worst life. I would write something, but technically I'm supposed to be doing my homework now... so, Ciao!

 

P.S. Elyana is kicking me repeatedly and Celeste is making a valiant effort to steal my shadow right now because they're both so annoyed. Fortunately for me, both actions are fairly difficult when done from inside the victim's head.

If Nico was a just a little more experienced... she'd just be toying with Shade. Keep in mind that there is only one more evil/powerful person in Trill than her. The sword is only magical to an extent, but she is powerful, so let's say she kept blocking the ice gun thing (no clue what it's called) with small amounts of magical shield, and her sword kept bursting into purple flame. :) She desroyed an entire country in about 5 minutes, so I think that's realistic for her.

But, of corse she isn't that powerful yet so Shade and the others probabaly would have ripped her to shreds eventually.

 

I have no clue how to continue this because of how many characters there are, but maybe we could split them into two groups? Have tham try to find out a little more about this strange place they've been dumped into and try to find a way back.

How does that sound?

Well... the thing is... Shade really, really really really does not like Nico Le. So... maybe they split into to groups, one headed by Shade and the other by Nico Le? And then... who know?

Here's an idea: One day we all become rich and famous and then we sit down and do this all over again.

Also, there is no ice gun thing. That was from Jesse's hands.
