Rosesong

I just don't do internet relationships. The people I'm shipped with are my nearest and dearest friends here; I talk to them most often and whatnot

Ok, does anyone know where Flux, Rielly, or Super is? Haven't seen them in awhile... Also, if you're still in this, post below so that I can start figuring out who I need to bunny

"That, Ivar," the Lord sang joyously, "is an excellent idea." Lord Gradun took a moment to dance around the table gleefully, before coming to a halt by Slairk and Mentheim, the clanking having turned into harmonies to his singing. "When shall we depart, dear gentlemen?" he rang out, giving his lyre a quick pluck.

"Ah, but you see, my dear Ivar, I am supposed to travel with my stories!" The Lord twirled around again, sending up the melodic clanking once again. "I simply must accompany them."

"But Ivar!" the Lord of Song and Dance sung out at a forte, "Going alone means that Slairk will have no companion. Therefore, I must go with him." Giving a small toot on his bugle, he continued, twirling around in melodious, clanking circles, "Now now, Mentheim, our skills are all to be used! However," he dropped the bugle and snatched his lyre, strumming it gracefully, "my skills are best suited for on the road. I am Lord Gradun, the Lord of Song and Dance, a bard that wanders to speak the stories of old."

Lord Gradun pranced over to Slairk, all of his ornate, shining jewelry and various instruments clanking against each other in a musical jingle. "I shall accompany you, good sir," he sang in a merry tune. "Together, we shall find what awaits us on the road and slay it with no fear! It shall be the newest, grandest epic that anyone has ever heard," the Lord melodiously sang, totally forgetting that he had been on Oohagan's side in the first place.

Happy birthday Mael~ hope you start feeling better!

Lord Gradun sang out, "But dear friends, we can't let one go alone." Strumming his lyre, he continued, "I, the Lord of Song and Dance, shall accompany the brave human Oohagan on this most excellent of scouting trips!" Dropping his lyre to hang around his neck, the self-proclaimed Lord rummaged about his person, finally pulling up a shiny bugle dangling from his waist up and giving it a quick toot. Getting up from the table, the Lord began to sing again, prancing around the table. "There once was a lass, that played mean brass. Through blowing her trombone, she taught me the most excellent technique," pausing to toot on the bugle again for effect. "Ever since, I've wanted to try out this most excellent of techniques, but have never run across unsavory fellows to test it out on!" Lord Gradun waltzed himself over to Oohagan. "So friend," he sang. "When shall we begin our quest?"

THIS JUST IN. Arnold Schwartzenager is going into the WWE Hall of Fame. Cue more rioting from the fanbase, please. Dear lord, this is, I think, the worst backlash I've seen in 19 years of watching WWE

Way to go Jeri, Dan~

Hi DD

Why not

Rose and Caleb Slowing slightly now that there was only one way to go in order to reach their destination, Rose looked back at Caleb, eyes troubled. "I'm not quite sure what the slums are," she admitted. "As for Gestas... he's the guy whom I think is in charge of this place. He may be able to get us to the portal to the next world; it's why I took on a job as a security guard."

We can't wait to have you!

Sorry mate, but as much as I really wanted to kill Mr. Taylor (and I was so close, believe me) I felt it wouldn't be right without Super around

Marcus, Mr. Taylor, and Reil ((until the time they come back, I'll be bunnying both Mr. Taylor and Reil)) Reil, who had been following Mr. Taylor quietly away from the aura fight and was now witnessing his confrontation with Marcus, turned at the sound of Kenny's body thudding to the floor not too far away to see an aura sphere speeding toward the two men that were in a heated confrontation. Um, oh no, this is really bad, Reil thought to himself nervously. I guess I could just... With that, the boy shut his eyes tight and sent an icy ball of wind toward the incoming sphere, freezing it into a glowing, glittering blue ball that dropped to the ground and shattered. As Reil fell back against the wall, utterly exhausted from saving the two older men, the ice caught their attention. "Don't think we're done Taylor. We made a bargain, and you will follow through," Marcus snarled, furious that someone may have been listening to them, not having seen Reil. "I've killed you twice, and believe me, I'll have no qualms in killing you again." With that, the killer strode off in the direction that Mr. Taylor had originally been going in, as the formerly elderly man breathed a sigh of relief. Rose and Caleb Not stopping to glance back at the boy, Rose continued turning down the twisted corridors of the bank, trying to find Gestas. "Not even close. We need to find the main office though, I think that'll be a start." Annie, Quincy, Ellaria As Annie dashed forward and kicked out, Quincy immediately pulled out the Preacher and shouted, "Time for a Sermon, girlies!" He flashed the gun at Annie and pulled the trigger before flashing the gun at Ellaria and doing the same in the seconds that it took for Annie's incoming kick to hit him. Ellaria cried out in pain before falling off of the rat's shoulder in a crumpled heap. "Quickshot Quincy always hits his target," the rat muttered before falling unconscious from the force of the kick. THE BANK The halls of the bank were suddenly filled with red light and a shrill, piercing bell. "Thank you for your hard work today, friends. Our wealth remains secure and beautiful because of your hard work. Please go back into the city and rest for another productive day," came a deep voice that boomed into every corner of the bank. "As long as we continue to work, we will all profit." At the end of the statement, all of the vaults sprang open, and workers began to pour out of them and into the lobby again. Then, the doors that led to the slums reopened, allowing all of the workers to flow back out into the slums. As those in the bank went to go outside, Gestas' voice boomed over the intercom. "All bank security, please report to my office. It shouldn't be hard for you, considering it's the only pathway open. Don't dawdle, if you waste my time there will be consequences." In the corridor where Edward and Kenny had fought, a trapdoor appeared under Kenny's unconscious form, dropping him to somewhere unseen before closing again. Before Edward could react, Prometheus rounded the corner. "Come little one," Prometheus rumbled. "We must discuss tonight with the others." Elsewhere in the bank, Bonnie and Clyde stumbled upon Reil's weakened form. "Oh lookie here, it's that little boy we stumbled upon earlier," Bonnie noted, glancing at Clyde. "What do you reckon we do love?" Clyde gazed back at her with a shrug. "I 'spose we should bring him back; he was supposed to be doing intel for us after all darlin'." With that, the two each took an arm and hauled the boy to his feet, helping him out of the bank and ignoring his murmured, "Thanks." ((so, in case it isn't totally clear, all those that started out in the slums should be heading back into the slums, while those that started in the bank should stay in the bank))

Wow, hi! I get home from work to find, not one, but TWO new folks? That's terrific! So, nice to meet you both, I'm Rose, our temporary host while the creator of this RP, Notus, is away at school. Let's see what we've got here... Alright, this looks fine, welcome to hell UtH, Will! If you can expand on the limits of his telekinesis, that would be great. Alright, you look great as well Tema! Welcome aboard, both of you! I'm going to PM you both so that we can get you involved in the story ASAP, alright? Currently we're finishing up scenes, which I'm aiming to have done by today. Again, great to have you both, and welcome to hell~

Ok typh, I wasn't sure if you wanted to have some inflection or whatnot

Guys, we have to get this moving please. Super is being waited on, I don't know where Rielly is... Come on, let's get the ball moving! Everyone finish up the scenes you're in now, I'm going to try to move things to the next step in the next day or so

Rose and Caleb Rose groaned as she heard the joke that had riddled her as a child. "Please, no thorn jokes," she requested dryly. "We need to figure out a way out of here." With that, she turned a corner, dragging the boy with her." Annie, Quincy, Ellaria At Annie's call, the rat turned and told the girl he carried, "Drop it, let her see us." At his command, the girl, still quivering, dropped the invisibility, revealing themselves to Annie. The older girl could clearly see the mangled, broken legs that Ellaria had received, as well as the smug face of the rat. "Lookie here girl. If you try anything, the pipsqueak here is going to get it." A smug smile made its way onto the deranged rat's face. "She won't thank you, that's for sure," nudging Ellaria's leg hard and elliciting a groan of pain from the girl.

Clanking and singing could be heard for a few seconds before the Temple doors swung open once more, revealing the one and only Lord Gradun. His ornate jewelry shone in the light, while instruments hung off of him in great piles. He didn't seem to be weighed down by them though, jumping and twirling around as he strummed on his lyre in great happiness. "Greetings, fellow travelers! It is I, the most famous Lord of Song and Dance, Gradun!" he sang, bouncing around the room in delight and neglecting to mention that he gave himself that title. "I have come from my engagement in the Shattered Hills to attend this quest that our hosts," he took a moment to bow graciously to the humans that were in the room, "have set aside for us!" Lord Gradun strolled around the table, clearly at ease in his new surroundings, continuing to strum his lyre. "I have traveled the world, learning about different cultures and their histories," he boasted, uncaring of who was paying attention.

Aww, thanks Sheep <3

Sarah, who had been daydreaming nonstop about finding her parents since they'd gotten to camp, shook her head and looked at Gen? "Hackers? That would be me!" she chirped, oblivious to what had been going on prior. "I just computer work, it's just so much fun." The girl looked around. "Everyone should cheer up! We made it here, we're alive, and we're on our way to finding a cure! There's no need to worry!"

FEEDBACK Thanks to both of you, I have not read The Giver before. I'll definitely make sure not to infringe on it though. DEVELOPMENT Ok, so the first segment is up. The pacing is a bit fast, but seeing as the whole premise is about finding your soulmate, I figured that the connection would click. Also, I'm going to add on a bit to the world building right here, to explain a bit of that last bit, as well as the reasoning behind why I've done it. How the World Works Ok, now for this. I will be fusing factual information with my own world for this. For each real world thing, I'm going to give you the factual stuff here for information. Olympiadane
