It's a regular
It's a regular summer evening. You have your window open, and a faint but cool breeze blows in. Suddenly, the wind blows harder and colder, and a number of dried leaves and a white envelope blows in. You bend down to pick up the envelope and find, to your surprise, that it is closed with a medieval-looking wax seal. The seal bears an emblem of a dragon, curved around a tree. Inside is a letter.
Greetings, CBer:
If you are reading this letter, you have been invited to an exclusive trip. Our organization has found disturbances in an unknown mountain range. We mean to seek out this disturbance and study it; it appears to be a living species. Your assistance is crucial to this project. Though it is entirely at your discretion, we hope you choose to come. If you do so, please fill out the form attatched and leave it on your windowsill with this invitation. Regards,
Lady Saga Tremayne
As you open the envelope to look for the form, you find two pieces of paper. One is folded neatly and seems to be the same cream-colored paper that the invitation was written on. The other is slightlly crumpled and is made of a different paper. It's darker, and bears a water-stain in one corner. Of course, you open the crumpled one. It appears to be completely blank, but as you turn it this way and that, you notice faint and hastily scribbled lettering, reading: Help, CBer! You and the others must go to Lady Tremayne's "expedition," but you must only pretend to follow her orders. What she intends to trap and train is a wild beast, and one that must be protected. I am disguised, but I will give you a message when the time comes.
As soon as you finish reading the note, it crumbles away to dust in your hands.The other paper is a the form:

Okay that's it. Sorry it was long! I'll post my character a little later. The first, oh, 12 or 13 posts will get in (the number might change)
*Disclaimer: this is my first rp, so I'm probably going to make mistakes. I have literally no idea what I'm doing (I don't even know if this rp is going to succeed), so correct me if necessary.*

I like the "magic on the harness only allows children to touch it" idea.

Usually in myths the kelpie helps a poor farmer plow his fields. But Lady Tremayne is rich and probably doesn’t even want to think of a farm. So the kelpie wouldn’t help her in that way.
Maybe a person who traps mythical creatures to sell to royalty has promised Tremayne tons of money if she can give him the kelpie that resides on her property. Tremayne has to have children trap it because the magic on the harness only allows children to touch it.

Don't let this die! Sirin, if you need longer than this to formulate a good plan that's fine, I'll keep this topped.

I'm mostly done planning so we can probably continue the rp now :)
Okay so I was thinking about the kelpie...the bridle thing sounds good. This errs on the side of being innacurate to the original myth, but maybe the kelpie can reveal itself to adults at will, but doesn't usually do so. Once the bridle is on the kelpie, it becomes visible and is forced to submit to whoever put the bridle on it. That might work. So then Lady Tremayne is getting the children to capture the kelpie and bring it back to her lab/mansion so that she can easily put the bridle on it.
I like @Peregrine's idea about someone paying Lady Tremayne for the kelpie, so I'll likely go with that. And then there's the thing about the spy. I think I mostly have that worked out, but if anyone has any suggestions that'd be great too.
once again...sorry for my planning (or lack thereof lol) originally...

-Maybe someone is paying Tremayne to capture the Kelpie-but in reality, she wants the kelpie for herself, so she can siphon its magic and become ever the more powerful.
-the bridle thing sounds good.
-the children find a secret room (connected to the room they found thru the O) thats Tremayne's secret office? and thats where they find the plans? :)
i know im not in this (i dropped out with Moon :l) but those are some ideas.

What do you mean by spy? Is that one of your ideas or have I missed something? Or is it a secret for now? Anyway, the plan sounds good!

I was kinda intending for the person who added the note in the invitation letter to be a spy. ("You and the others must go to Lady Tremayne's "expedition," but you must only pretend to follow her orders. What she intends to trap and train is a wild beast, and one that must be protected. I am disguised, but I will give you a message when the time comes.") Sorry if I didn't mention that.
I'm writing the next part tonight so I'll probably post tomorrow idk.

Okay! And also, I think that the trapdoor Megumi found could lead to kelpie-catching equipment or something. I look forward to the next part!

Sounds great!
