"Real" RP. AGAI
"Real" RP. AGAIN.
So, I started this a while ago, but then the, um, "Incident with AEs" happened and it all got messed up. Pretty much the same thing. To recap: you wake up in the morning and have your CB appearance/powers/alter ego(s) (if any). Then you go on CB, see a lot of posts that say stuff like "AAHHH MY ALTER EGOS ARE RUNNING AROUND IN REAL LIFEEEEEE" and "GO TO LAS VEGAS" so you do. Go to Las Vegas, that is. And we hang out.
I'm not very good at plotlines so I will leave it to you. Charrie forms are not necessary as we already know one another.

Let's just assume Di and I were there too.
~Curio~
I am having trouble keeping up with the others. Holy cheese balls, that Spyro is fast!! And what's more, Di has decided to race him, which is making him go even faster. I am really not that good at flying. Then Air stops short (as much as one can stop short in the air), causing me to almost run into her! It takes a couple seconds for Di and Spyro and Shadow, who's joined in the race, to realize that HAB and I are hovering and Air's solarpunky airspeeder-hoverbike-thing is now in neutral, so they have to turn around and come back while HAB asks Air, "Why'd you stop?"
Air points down below, and I realize that we're now over a freeway. Rock-solid pavement. No tire tracks to be seen. Air confirms: "We've lost them. We've lost the trail." Everybody is silent for a moment. "Now what?" Di asks hesitantly, an instant before swooping upward in a massive facepalm. "Oh! Great stinking bantha dung, I'm so stupid! Curio, can you grab your CB-enabled tablet and Koda's carrier from out of the Rift we packed our stuff in? See, I mostly exist on the CB, where there's nearly always a Storyline. Things such as plot twists and Admin intervention make ripples in it, and since this is some sort of CB fantasy, we should be able to track the van by the ripples!"
Honestly, I don't know why Di thinks she's stupid. That was brilliant of her. I quickly summon our "suitcase" Rift and pull my tablet and Koda out of it. Koda doesn't look happy about being stuffed in her carrier for hours upon hours, but we're about sixty feet in the air and she can't fly, so in her carrier she must stay, at least for now. And then I discover that my tablet, which usually just shows the CB website, is all high-tech and confusing. Instead of words on the screen, there's a pirate ship, a crazy-looking city that's being rebuilt after some great disaster, a prep school, Hogwarts Castle, and so much more in the Inkwell alone! I test out a sidebar on one edge of the screen and find that it allows me to write. I fly over to Di and hand her the tablet; she knows more about these things than I do. She expertly swipes and taps at the tablet, typing what looks like a few lines of computer code before showing her post to Koda, who lazily says "Umpv." and lets it through.
However, it takes a couple hours for such things as CB influencing to work. Everybody's wings get tired (and Air wants to conserve power in her bike's fuel cell), so we land by the side of the road to wait it out, seeing nothing better to do. It's really quite an enjoyable time; the dragons take turns fanning Silvery with their wings until I think to do an endure elements spell on her, at which point they take to the sky again, continuing the race. I am content to sit and talk with Air, HAB, Booksy Owly, and Silvery, who is a surprisingly good conversationalist for an Alter Ego. Things go on like this until suddenly, with a cascade of popping noises rather like Air's tictac gun, several sets of high-tech holographic glasses pop into existence! There's one for each of us; the dragons soon swoop down wearing theirs. Di instructs us to put them on. As soon as I do, the world begins to look different. Everything is outlined in light. Di's tablet is glowing brighter than anything else, though, and there seems to be pulsing ripples of light extending several inches from it in all directions.
Di explains that she summoned the glasses with her post (as I suspected), and that they make distortions in the Storyline visible. "There's an app for Storyline tracking on the tablet, too, but I figured this would be more helpful 'cause then everybody can see," she says offhand. Excited, I take off over the freeway, hoping to spot some mark of the van's passage. Sure enough, I can still see a faint ribbony trail of light going off down the freeway. "C'mon, guys!" I call down to the others, who lift off as well. "We're going to find our friends!"

Don't panic, I tell myself as I soar above the city. Silvery will be alright as long as I find a freezer. I fly over the many buildings around and around. Then, I see a sign. Ivy's Ice Cream Factory it proclaims to the world. Ice cream? They need freeezer for ice cream!
I find Air, who is following the tire tracks. "I found a freezer!" "You found a freezer? Wh-" "For Silvery," I hurriedly explain. "You see, she is an arctic moth and can't stand high temperatures. That's why she passed out. And the closest temperature to the arctic, is the freezer."
"I understand now," she says, "so c'mon, let's get going!"
"It would be faster if I flew."
"But I don't know where you are going. We might get separated."
"Well..... I could carry you."
She looks thrilled, "Really? That'll be fun!"
I take the bike with Silvery in my claws and Air climbs onto my back. I take off, and streak to the factory. "Whoa-ho!" Air yells. "This is great!"
"That is, until you fall off."
"Oh come on, I'm not going to fall off."
By that time I had landed by the back door of the factory. I melted the hinges off the door and Air and I sneaked inside.
We were in a room full of huge freezers stretching from one end to the other. I grin, "Just what we need." Air opens one and I place Silvery inside. "She ought to come around in a few minutes."
A factory worker comes in though one of the doors. He takes one look at me, screams, and runs away. "Oh no" Says Air, "we have been noticed."
And before anything else, more workers come though the door, and run out again.

I duck and roll under a bank of freezers, then take my tictac gun out of my pocket and click a pack of tictacs into the cartridge spot. Shadow raises her giant black wings, covering the freezer with Silvery inside. Workers surround us.
I hear a scratching inside. Thank goodness -- Silvery's back. I fire a few tictacs at the ceiling, where they bounce off, distracting the workers while I dash over to Shadow and pull Silvery out of the freezer and onto Shadow's back with me. Shadow pumps her wings and lifts off, rising ten feet into the air.
She glides through the warehouse, crashes through a metal wall, snatches my bike up in her claws, then pumps her wings again and rises into the sky. When the city is the size of a postage stamp, Shadow turns her head back to look at us.
Silvery has lifted her wings and is now gliding next to Shadow. "I'm fine," she calls, doing a loop-de-loop.
I fire a celabratory tictac. "I'm good too," I say. "Thanks for getting my bike."
"Where to now?"

Wait, why aren't Danie and Squeak in the story ?
(May 13, 2015 - 4:57 pm)
*headdesks* I'll see if I can fix that...

We hover in the air, not sure what to do.
Suddenly, a giant wheel slices through the sky, making Silvery do a somersault.
"Ya-hoo!" yells Danie. She slows down, coming nearer us, and I can see that she attached one of Somebody's rocket boosters to a large carriage wheel (no idea where that came from) and put Squeak on it. She's riding it like a horse.
"I... feel... sick..." Squeak is holding on to the side of the wheel so tightly, he might snap it.
"Hi, Danie!" I call. "I'm glad to see you! For a second we thought you'd been taken, too?"
"Taken?" she asks.
Shadow and I tell her the whole story.
"Well, we've got to go rescue them!" She makes the wheel do a loop-de-loop, and Squeak looks like he might barf really soon.
Shadow says, "We're following the tire tracks." She points a claw down at the road.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Shifting Sands~
A guard walks by. "Help me... PLEEAASE GET ME OUT OF HERE!" I moan.
"And why would I do that?" he asks.
"Because I'm trapped with the biggest ADHD-infected idiots in all creation! PLEEEAAAASSSSEEEE get me out before I go insaaaane!"
"I DON'T SUFFER FROM ADHD!!! I ENJOY EVERY SECOND OF IT!!!!!!!!!" Volcano yells.
"I see what you mean," he says, unlocking the door. I float out.
"Sorry," I say. I summon an iron anvil and drop it at the end of the corridor that says BATHROOM. Then I summon a large, powerful horseshoe magnet around his waist. The magnet zooms toward the anvil, landing with a KAAAAAAAANGGGGGGG. The dude smooshes against the anvil with a loud "OOOOF!!", trapped by the magnet.
Then we run the other direction.
It isn't long before we get to the lobby, where the poor, unsuspecting guards are having coffee.
Oh, who am I kidding. I'M AN ALTER EGO!
"EAAAATT BRUSSELS SPROUTS!!!" Devil yells.
"BUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRNN!!!!" Volcano hollers.
"TASTE MY PIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Masked shouts.
"CAAAAAAAAAANNNDYYYYYYY!!!!" Candy KING screams.
"Here are some presents for you!" I cry, summoning mass amounts of hazardous materials from different dimensions.
The carnage is soon evident.
"You think you've won, don't you?" a SPEC agent asks.
"Well... it looks like it," I say.
"Hmph." He presses a button. "Did you know that this compound was built over Tartarus?"
I hear pistons, and it suddenly dawns on me. "No..." I murmur, my eyes widening. "No!"
He smiles. "Oh, yes."
The floor we're standing on flips over and we fall into the abyss below.
Somebody~
I play Yankee Doodle on the air. I can create sound vibrations that make music.
"Shut up!" the driver yells.
"No, I don't think I will," I tell him, starting in on A Song About a Circle Constant.

Silvery~
We have been following the tracks for sometime and it is getting dark. Everyone is tired, and it is getting hard to see everybody especially Shadow, blending in with the oncoming night.
We agree to stop by the side of the road. It is nearly dark by then.
l land, expecting to hear Shadow behind me.
But l don't. "Shadow?" I call into the darkness. She is there, l just can't see her. l think.
l don't hear anything. "Shadow? Where are you?"l call again, trying to keep to fear out of my voice.
She doesn't answer. Did she just fly off? Did we some how leave her behind?
l fly above the road, looking. But all there is, is darkness.
The sight rings a bell in my mind. Darkness. l remember Shadow saying something about her real name, Shadow Dragon of Everlasting Darkness. She never uses it and only told me because l asked. Does it have something to do with her disipearing into the night? Because she isn't here for no reason that l can think of.
l fly down to Air, making her jump. "Shadow isn't here. She's gone." It takes a moment for that to sink in. "What? Why whould she be gone?"
"l don't know. All l know is that she is gone."
We tell the others of this. They have no idea either why she went and where she is.
Shadow~
We could follow those tracks forever and not find them. That's why a have a plan. A plan to rescue them. But the only thing is, the other CBers would never adgree to it. That's why l'm going alone. To fulfil my plan.
The other CBers don't know where l am, which is vital to the plan. l don't want them coming after me.
