Exploration Adventure RP!
Exploration Adventure RP!!!!!!!
13 years ago the world was struck with a surge of tatanic earthquakes.
Japan was swallowed beneath the ocean's surface----taking two thirds of China along with it.
That was just one of the many casualties.
No one knew what had caused the tectonic playes to shift with such force. Till Months later- after a FedEx delivery plane crashlanded on a volcanic island on the pacific ocean.
An island that wasn't there before.
Germany was the first to send troops there-
They didn't come back.
Russia followed, but with the same conclusion.
America sent a team of the best scientists as well as a fleet of emergency back-up.
All that returned was a slip spattered with blood.
~✴~
Its now 2057, and president Terrilly is following up on his promise-
Pompeii will be habited.
Just as soon as it is scouted first.

Yay! I can join! And I'm going to break protocall or whatever and write my charrie sheet and a post at the same time. *everybody gasps*
Oh, and seeing as how Brook is head engineer, I'll go for second mate. (Assuming that nobody has that position yet, and I somehow missed it.)
Name: Angelica Aerheart. (She's descended from the original Amelia Earheart)
Age: 17
Role: Second Mate
Appearance: Long, strawberry blonde hair, usually thrown up into a french braid. Sparkling green eyes, freckles, slightly sunburned skin. Always wears a brown leather aviator's jacket and brown leather boots with the rest of her outfit.
Personality: Very adventures, always living life on the edge. She's traveled around the world, and loves sailing. She is very honored and excited to be on this adventure. She is rarely ever self conscious or nervous, and is outgoing, selfless, and kind. She can be a bit........ erm...... oblivious to, you know, feelings and stuff, but she would gladly risk her life for others.
Home Country: Atlanta, Georgia. And onwards from there.
Angelica~
I rev the engine of my motorcycle, and go zipping across dirty, broken asphalt. I'm on my way to an adventure, possibly greater than any of the ones I've had so far. I'm pretty sure it will be better than the time I got stuck in a hot air balloon while being shot at. Or almost getting trampled by that stampede. Or having a shark eat my oxygen tank while scuba diving.
I skid up to the hotel, raise an eyebrow at the tacky sign, and sprint inside. I grab the key offered by the receptionist, sprint upstairs, and throw my baggage on my bed. Then, I quickly put my hair up in a bun, put on a recently dry-cleaned sleeveless, knee length turquoise dress, slip on a pair of heels that match the dress, and rush downstairs to dinner.
When I reach the dining room, dinner is almost over. I quietly grab some food, and listen to the captain, who is speaking. Once he's done, all eyes turn towards me. I shrug. "Sorry I'm late; someone tried to rob me." The captain raised his eyebrow. "Tried?" I shrug again. "Yes, tried. It didn't work." The captain nods. "Very well. Meet the first mate, Pierre." I smile. "Hi! I'm Angelica." The captain turns to talk to someone else, and I say "So I guess we'll be seeing each other a lot." Pierre nods and, in a heavy french accent, says "Yes, I suppose so." I grin, and in French (I don't speak a word of French, so I'll italicize it) say "I've travelled the world, but the only language I've been able to pick up is French. Ridiculous, eh?" Pierre grins. "You travel? Where have you gone?" I take a deep breath. "Everywhere."

@Autumn leaves
you're Angelica, and Pierre's ingenuitive and fluent in French!
(October 8, 2016 - 1:45 pm)
Just a thought.. but... could there be some romance between Aileen and Pierre? Again, it's just a suggestion. We don't have to do it, but it would make it more fun!
~Aileen
Miss Adalicia said I could just call her Adalicia, but I'm going to stick with Miss Adalicia, her being my teacher and all. Plus, Miss Adalicia just sounds so pretty! I spoon some soup into my bowl, and pick up my spoon, smiling widely. This is so fun!
In what seems like no time at all, dinner is over, and the dessert plates are taken away by servants. I'm stuffed, and can't eat any more! The food has been delicious!
Everyone stands, and I stand, too, turning to Miss Adalicia, saying, "Good-bye, Miss Adalicia. I'll see you tomorrow on the boat!" I wave, and she smiles, answering, "Good-bye, Aileen."
I smile and walk toward Pierre, who seems pretty nice, "See you tomorrow!"
He smiles hesitantly back, "See you tomorrow," in his enchanting French accent.
I wave, and hustle out of the room, taking my room card out of my pocket. Room 313. I walk toward the grand, velvet-carpeted stairs, and slide my hand over the polished, dark wooden banister, smiling contentedly, thinking absently about what animals would be on the ship. I hoped there would be parrots, talking ones who repeated after you. They would make wonderful companions!
I climb the three flights of stairs and walk to my room, sliding the card in and opening the door, putting it on the drawer, and looking around. Someone has taken my suitcase up already, and there is one bed with clean, white sheets. I sit on it and change out of my spring green dress, putting on my white, cotton nightgown and, after brushing my teeth, slipping into bed and closing my eyes, already descending into the world of dreams, dreams of the adventures tomorrow was sure to bring...
~~~
I opened my eyes to the warm sunlight shining on top of me through the glass window, and sit up, cheeks rosy with excitement. Today was the day! Today I would board the boat and sail off into the great, blue ocean! I hurriedly get up and change into a dark blue sailor's dress that goes just past my knees, with white lines on the sleeves, feeling like the adventure had already started. I slip on my brown ankle boots, and pick up my suitcase and the room card, happily rolling it down the stairs, bouncing on every one. On my way down, I pass Miss Annas, who nods at me, "Hello there, Aileen! Ready for the big adventure?"
I nod, "Yes, I am! It's going to be so jolly and exciting! I do wonder what the island is going to look like. And what types of animals there are, there. Don't you, Miss Annas?"
She nods, "I sure do! And please, just call me Rachael. Miss Annas is just too formal for me."
I nod, hesitant, "But... can I call you Miss Rachael?"
She smiled, "Of course you can."
I nod, grinning, "Okay!" And walk the rest of the way downstairs, a bounce in my step, to the lobby, where everyone is gathering.
(October 8, 2016 - 5:21 pm)
@Alexandra, about the romance, definitely! It would be interesting.
Pierre

I stand at the rail, enjoying the sea breeze washing over me. It's only eight in the morning and it's already ridiculously hot. Reminds me of home, and all the days I spent on my father's boat. Life was simple. All I needed for a good day was a few odd jobs and a can of Coke.
That's my philosophy. Life is simple.
Of course, a can of Coke can't hurt either.
I've lost track of where the other sailors are. I finished all my assigned "first day" jobs, as well as about ten more, and I think I deserve a break. I wish someone aside from Angelica knew French.
The scientists begin to file aboard. I recognize Aileen and Mallorie. I've been raised to be indifferently polite, but secretly, Mallorie annoys me. I avoid her and walk over to Aileen.
"Good morning," she says, smiling.
"Good morning." This is part of my (limited) English vocabulary. I'm still regretting not learning conversational English. I doubt anyone is going to ask me to conjugate tenses of "to be".
"Are you excited for the first day?" Aileen asks.
I nod. I understand more than I can speak, so I can get the meaning. But I can't think of how to ask her back. I give up. "Et vous?"
Maybe she can tell what I'm asking from context, because she responds enthusiatically. I do my best to follow along.
She seems to sense my confusion. Wow, how does she seem to know me this well when we only met yesterday? "Do you want to learn English, Pierre?"
I nod. "Yes..."
"I can teach you." She pauses. "If you teach me some French."
I grin. "Good!" She smiles back.
Yes, this should be great voyage.
(October 9, 2016 - 11:08 am)
Adalicia speaks French too. . .
(October 9, 2016 - 3:11 pm)
Pierre doesn't know Adalacia yet
(October 9, 2016 - 3:36 pm)
So, I decided to change my character. Two reasons. One, I didn't really like my character. Two, I haven't written from the boy's perspective in a long time. I'll try my best to do so now, but it might be a bit weak from lack of exercise. XD
Name: Aaron Aerheart
Age: 19
Appearance: Light green eyes, short strawberry blonde hair that he wears in a crew cut.
Role: Head ornithologist
Personality: His sister is my first charrie, Angelica, but even though they are similar in looks, they are very different personality wise. While she is loud and adventurous, he is soft spoken and kind tempered. He is brave in his own, quiet way, and loves birds. He graduated college at nineteen, and immediately signed up to go to Pompeii.
Home country: Same as Angelica, Atlanta GA.
(October 9, 2016 - 2:06 pm)
Thanks a million! I feel like every RP I'm in I have the only boy character!

Zeus, do you really speak french? I'm learning it in school. If it wouldn't be too many people knowing french, I would love for Rose to speak it so I could practice.
We'd rather you don't submit foreign words. We won't post any that we can't readily translate from our own knowledge. We don't have time to check the meaning.

The waiting room buzzed with activity as the crew waited for president Turrilly to arrive and send off the expedition.
I gradually meandered over to the scientists who had congregated in a corner, their separate scientifical instruments splayed over the floor like stray islands. I quickly picked out Pierre and Aileen, as well as Malorie, Adalicia and a few others.
I shipped a crooked smile and nudged at Aileen who had been chatting with Rose black. She turned and squealed, her face splitting into a blindingly bright smile.
"Miss. Rachael!!!" She cupped her face in her hands and began to wiggle excitedly.
"Oh yeah, Miss Aileen." I wiggled my eyebrows.
She laughed. "Oh come on, miss Rachael sounds waaaay better."
"I personally think "doctor" Aileen suits you the best." I retorted.
Pi grunted his approval, slipping effortlessly off my backpack and over to Aileen who looked ready to explode.
"OMIGALOSHES HE IS ADORABLE!!!!" She swept Pi up into her arms and began coddling him like a newborn baby, cooing like a mother seal to her pup. And pi? He began purring like a tugboat.
"Wow girl. He NEVER let's me do that to him." I answered near speechlessness.
Aileen chuckled. "You just gotta now what they like."
~Your then guys!
FLY thread FLY!!!!!!
(October 11, 2016 - 8:34 pm)
Do you want more of the story on the boat or on the island? Or half and half? And can there be a storm that blows them to the island?
~Aileen
I scoop the cute little cat up in my arms, and he began to purr like a tugboat. I smiled, as Miss Rachael says, "Wow, girl. He never lets me do that to him."
I chuckled, strocking him, "You just gotta know what they like."
She nodded, "You can play with him for a while, if you'd like."
I looked up, happy, "Oh, thank you, Miss Rachael! I'd love to!"
I stratch him behind his ears, asking, "What's his name? Assuming it's a boy?"
"It's a boy," she answers, "And it's name is Pi. Like the number."
"Oh, the number pi! Isn't it just so interesting?"
She nods, "Yes."
I put him down, and he starts walking around me, meowing beautifully, "Awww!" I laugh, petting his soft fur.
Miss Adalicia walks over, asking, "Aileen, do you want me to show you the animals?"
I look up, eyes shining. The animals! I'd heard that there would be parrots, and more cats... and dogs! "Of course! Just... one second."
I hug Pi one more time, then hand him to Miss Rachael, who promises me that I can play with him later, and follow Adalicia under deck, to a whole new world underneath. The ship is bigger than it looked, and she takes me to a greenhouse, with two more on either side of it, "The parrots like to reside here, on the tropical trees, their natural home. We have three of them here, but there are more birds, many more. They come and go as they please."
I gape at the amazing scene around me. Plants of all kinds imaginable are planted, but there are lot's of tropical plants, with birds fluttering around. I spot a parrot, flying high up in a tree, and gasp excitedly, "Look! A parrot!" It is a brilliant green, with patches of red on it, and some yellow on it's neck. It's wings are giant and spread out, and it flies toward me, surveying me with a critical eye.
"That's the male parrot. We have a female one."
"Oh... what are their names?"
"Well, we haven't named them, yet."
"Oh, may I please name them? Pretty please?" I clasped my hands together and looked up at Miss Adalicia, waiting for her answer with bated breath.
"Well... I suppose you may." She smiles at me.
I grin back, as the femals comes to rest on a branch near her mate. She's smaller, more red than the male one, with some yellow on her stomach, almost like a flower. A flower... a rose! "Rosy!" I cry, pointing at the female, "Can we name her Rosy?"
She nods, and I turn to the male, a name popping into my head, "Ronal! He'll be Ronal! Rosy and Ronal... perfect!" I clap my hands in delight, as Miss Adalicia lets out a low whistle. Ronal flies over, and lands on her arm, calling out, "He-llo!"
I gasp, "Wonderful!"
"Try Rosy. Just whistle, at a higher pitch. She'll come."
I whistle, in my high, sing-song like voice, and Rosy flies over, landing on my wrist that I extended. I laugh with delight, slowly reaching toward her bright red feathers and petting them. How soft they were!
"They're very well trained parrots. They can say a lot, and repeat whatever you say. Try it."
As if on cue, Rosy calls out, "Try it! Try it!"
I laugh, nodding, "Of course I'll try it! Rosy, say Rosy!"
"Rosy! Rosy! Rosy!" She calls out, "Rosy!" She opens her wings, flapping them against my face.
I smile as the wind she makes blows my hair back, "Good girl!"
She stays on my hand for a few more moments, then flies away with Ronal back into the trees again, "Marvelous!" I watch them go.
She nods, "Yes. Our parrots are very marvelous. But wait until you see the snake."
I smile, "There's a- snake? Amazing!" I jump with excitement, "Is he in this room? Can I name him again? If he doesn't have a name yet?"
She nods, "You seem to love naming animals, Aileen. Yes, you can name him. Follow me." And she led me deeper into the room.

I'm learning it too but I'm almost fluent by now. Admins: I'm only posting basic words anyway because I don't feel like writing a huge translation every time Pierre talks.
Other people can speak French as long as it doesn't get in the way of the Aileen-Pierre thing.
(October 11, 2016 - 8:47 pm)
You could use google translate. Just a suggestion.
