Bewitched Diary RP!
Bewitched Diary RP!
Imagine you've just bought a new diary. It's a small, thick book, bound in brown leather, with "DIARY" in sparkly silver letters on the front cover. But when you open it up to write in it, you find words in unfamiliar handwriting, penning themselves across the page! They tell of someone in another world, another time, or even another universe, who has just bought a new diary. And you realize with a start that the diary they say they bought sounds eerily similar to yours...
This is an RP, but not a conventional RP in the sense that everyone creates a character and then relates events from that character's perspective. No character-creation posts are needed; others on the RP will figure out much about your character just by how and what you write. All story-building posts on this RP should be in the format of diary entries written by your character. The way it works is that all the characters, no matter what the setting they're in, have actually bought the same Bewitched Diary. It's enchanted to exist in many places at once, and any writing done in any one "copy" shows up in all the rest. The characters learn about each other that way, and probably end up traveling to each other's worlds somehow, but the rest of the plot will emerge as the RP goes on.
Have fun with this, everyone!!

Thyst flicked her tail and swam deeper into the ocean. "Diary- I haven't had a very eventful day. Just went to the mermaid academy, and I'm on top of the class. Well, not in PE. My lobster seems sickly, I hope he's okay.

Dear diary,
No luck catch any mermaids today. Only some trout. It made a nice dinner. Wait is this that mermaid thyst's entry?

Wait a sec- mermaids ? Mermaid hunters ? Yeah... If they hunt mermaids, do they hunt dragonets? Where are they ? What's with this dairy ? Can they even read this dragon-write ? I hope not . I just thought it was pretty with it's shiny " Dairy " and tough, good-smelling leather. I love the smell of leather. Most dragons do. But is the loss of the secrecy the dragoness insists on, is worth the leather-and parchment smell ? The scritch-scratch of charred wood ( I charred it myself ! My fire's getting better ) , the . . .
WELL . Touchy ! No more writing . Human-thing , huh ? It's mermaid ! Still, I'd better stop writing.

This diary is freaky. I mean, it shows up these random entries from what it seems like different people. But then, everything today was very strange. The bookstore I got this from had a oldish look to it, and a magical feeling, too. And the bookstore owner, boy, he was mysterious! He kept mumbling, something about, "You shouldn't have came here... And bought this book... You shou.. You sh... You...". Very scary. And i don't feel to go. Something is happening. Something.

Dear Diary,
I just got you today from the store, but I was very dissapointed to find out that there were already two entries in it. Really? I always thought Barney's Books was a credible place. In fact, Barney is my friend. Maybe I'll keep this diary, I guess. But I just don't understand. I thought this diary was blank when I picked it up...

Dear Diary,
I don't know what's going on anymore. I just don't. First Uzík, then the Phlasian soldiers, and now this. Ammaa said we haven't had to move since Thoë ran afoul of Oberon 8 Intergalactic Customs, and that was...four, five years ago, by this planet's standards? More? Less? Far from comforting. And Uzík's got the wet-breath disease, and I keep trying to tell myself that we're lucky to be here, that the people on this planet are serious about travelers' licenses.
I snitched you from a huge green metal bin, Diary. Everyone, all sixteen of us, were searching through the refuse for something to eat. Nobody found anything though. Just cellulose, low-grade polymers, and artificial pigment. I thought I'd seen something like you in a Stella's Warpspace Convenience Mart sometime. That's why I took you. I see two entries already in Tritonese, but I'm writing in Standard Zarminian so hopefully anyone who reads this will understand. Papaa says the silicon-and-oxygen building behind me sells things like you and they're called books, but Kkyon thinks that's a bunch of shadenipper scat. I like you anyway, Diary. Kkyon can go stick his head in a death-pitcher vine, see if I care.
Yours in consternation,
Inxi

Dear Diary,
This is wierd. Instead of finding a jewel in a laser-surrounded room, I find this book. I had a strange urge to write in it, and after I wrote this, there were other entries. That's kinda creepy. I encountered Draco two days back from when this entry was written. I wish everything was back the way it was. But perhaps this would have never happened. Anyway, I'm off to go steal something and then go back to jail. It's fun in there. See ya!

Dear diary
this is confusing. Whird symbols that look almost dragoon. Hehehe
" who ever is seeing this meet me at the malark bakery at 5:00 tomarow."
(August 26, 2014 - 3:39 pm)
This is werid. More entrys have appeared. And for some reason, I can understand them all ! I guess the gift of a dragon's all-speaking tongue streches to reading . What's the Malark bakery ? Is it a human or merperson thing ? Where is it ? Does it serve dragons ? I'll ask the old, boring Healer-human.
She doesn't know. To bad. I wonder if Five oo is a land ? Strange land. In a land of numbers, dragons aren't welcome, I'd say. Still, I'm curious . If I write in Tritonese or Zarminian, will they understand ? I hope so. It would be fire-hot to see what humans think about stuff .
I dunno. The dragoness will be SO mad. What if I don't say that I'm a dragon or anything ? Just " Testing . If you read me, reply " or something. What harm can that do ?
I can't resist. Here goes.
Testing, testing. If you read me, reply : name, kingdom, age, appearance , info.
Testing, testing. If you read me, reply : name, kingdom/land, age, appearance, info

I don't know what's wrong with me... I'm getting paws. And dog ears. and horns. I'm turning into some kind of devil dog. Luckly for me, I can still write in here.
I ran away a few days after this change happened to me. My parents freaked out. I'm on the run. I don't know what to do... Other diary writers, help!

Wait.....is this LAYLA's entry? Layla, how are you doing that?
(August 26, 2014 - 8:58 pm)
Dear Everyone,
Can you hear me? I just don't understand. Why can I see your entries? I can see them, but I just can't understand some of them. Does anyone else speak English? Maybe we could communicate through our diaries. I'm assuming you all have the one made out of leather with silver sparkly letters?

Holy wormholes! How many of you are there? And how many languages?! (By the way, Megon who writes in badly spelled Tritonese, what and where is the Malark Bakery?)
(August 26, 2014 - 5:14 pm)

Down the street from the muse township mall! Or do you not live in muse valley?

Naida- you seem to have some Wudu blood in your veins. If you are wonndering, Wudu are wolf-like creatures that disapeared from my land many centuries ago .
