Forest Role Play

Forest Role Play

Forest Role Play

In the middle of a huge sea of trees lies a tiny town.  

The forest used to be called Silva Vivus Umbrare, which, when translated from the old language, means the Forest of Living Shadows, but the people just called it the Woods. Still, the forest lived up to its old name.

The trees moved during the night, uprooting themselves and gliding across the earth to a new spot. Sometimes the guards on duty at night would catch a glimps of an elk or deer gliding through the trees with a tall, graceful figure on its back. Occasionally, a larger creature slipped past the guards and stole away a cow or pig or goat.

But even with all of the dangers which surrounded them, the people of the town were proud to say that through the half-decade of the existance of the town, they have never lost a person to the woods or to any creature living in the woods.

Until now.

This year, during the Cilana festival, a time in the spring when the people cut down all the trees which have grown at or moved to the edge of the town, three young children disappeared.

Alana, an eight-year-old girl with frizzy red hair and a quick smile, Jakob, a serious five-year-old boy with sunburned skin from too many naps in the open, and Zena, a talkative seven-year-old girl with intense blue eyes. Their disappearence stopped the Cilana festival and threw the town into chaos.

The townspeaple knew that the three would never have gone off into the Woods by themselves, for the fear of the forest was too deep set in everyone, so the townspeople could only think that they had been kindnapped or stolen. Although the townspeaple were frightened and scared and the parents of the children were frantic, only a few people dared to go out into the woods.

You, along with a small group, have decided to venture into the forest to see if the children can still be found. Your bravery has given the town new hope, and the townspeaple have provided you with weapons, tools, and horses. You will leave on the new moon.

Iyara’s POV

I grab my canteen, and Azi, Jeannie, and Caston grab theirs. We race back to the clearing, but when we are about eight feet away, I stop. “Caston, Jeannie, sneak around that way.” I point. “Is your water cold?”

“Y-Yeah.”

“Good, throw it over the- I’m sorry, what did you call it? Just throw your water at it, Azi and I will try to put out the fire.” They nod and sneak away. I walk confidently into the clearing. “If you hurt either one of them I swear by Zathon’s sword that you will die painfully. Put down your bow and arrows!” The- whatever it is- dangit Iyara, remember things names better!- looks stunned. I keep talking. “I really don’t care a thing about you, so if you want to live, you will back away slowly. Go!” I pray that Jeannie and Caston are in the right place. I step forward and Azi follows. “I said, go!” It stammers. I carefully, quietly, unscrew my canteen cap. Then I leap forward and dump the water onto the fire. It goes out immediately. Azi sloshes his water onto the things face, and I see the others dumping their water onto it from behind. Thank goodness!! It freezes, then toppled over. I shoot it with its own arrow and walk away.

 

 

I’m not entirely sure I got all the names right so feel free to adjust this as you need :)

"You are foolish! You would give up your life for a child?" Enoch asks

"Yes now hand her over." I say not flinching.

The fire seems to grow hotter, "You are not actually considering this are you?" Enoch stares into me "You don't want to go back. A heroic end would make you well known. Maybe your mother would be proud."

"You know nothing about my mother." i spit. Caston may have failed to mention that they can get into your memories. This is not fun.

"She was nice and kind, played with your hair and baked the most amazing cookies!" Enoch steps closer, "Am I wrong"

I pull up my swords into a fighting stance, "Shut up."

"Such a shame she, left." He is close enough for me to hit him. I can't move. "I never understood you humans. Running away for no reason."

I feel tears streak down my face, "I said shut. up. let the girl go."

"Oh you're being heroic! The hero in the story! Well they don't even like you! The only reason you're here is because you know it. No one needs you. Ha! even your father expects you to die."

"If you hurt either one of them I swear by Zathon’s sword that you will die painfully. Put down your bow and arrows!”  Iyaara shouts

"I really don't care a thing about you, so if you want to live, you will back away slowly. Go!" Enoch shouts

I can see more and more people step out from the trees

"I said GO!" Enoch stammers

Then they dump water over the fire and an arrow sails through the air and finds itself in Enoch's side.

I stumble back free from whatever spell he had me under.  

Sebastian runs to Zena and hugs her crying. 

I feel someone grab my arm and sit me down on a log, "Hey are you okay?"

It's Zander

What the heck

My heart is racing but I'm totally sure it's from the weird experiance I had before. right?

Hey, about the post where Bradley kinda mutters "Especially not me" or somethin' like that, I was like "Hmmm, what could he mean by that?" So, maybe, just aybe, he could be somethin' like a creature or somethin' that the postion activates over a certain amount of time. I mean, if that works for you guys...

*throws self on ground in dispair*

OKAY I ADMIT IT I CAN'T WRITE LOVE SCENES I'M SO SORRY ZACY I LOVE YOU BUT IT ISN'T GOING TO WORK OUT *dramatic faint*

*revives*

Okay, sorry about that... whatever it was. I hope you got the point? Anyways, here's a Jeannie post that basically sets Sammy and Duck up for a Zacy moment:

Jeannie~ 

She couldn’t help but eavesdrop. Hey, it wasn’t her fault! Okay, maybe eavesdropping wasn’t exactly morally correct, but at least she had an excuse: she was eavesdropping to make sure Macey was okay.

“Hey, are you okay?” That was Zander, who still didn’t have his memories back, which probably said something significant, though Jeannie wasn’t exactly sure yet. “I- what? Yes, I- I’m fi-ine.” Macey’s voice wavered on the last word, going up an octave in pitch before settling back at its normal tone. “Don’t sound fine,” Zander said bluntly. There wasn’t any answer. “Sorry, I just meant-” Zander spoke again, this time kind of apologetically. “I know what you meant,” Macey said.

Jeannie smiled and walked away. However much she did want to eavesdrop, this probably wasn’t a moment anyone wanted her to eavesdrop on.

“Hey, Jeannie?” Iyara called, gesturing towards Alana and Jakob who were standing with Ash, looking shaken and a little bit lost. She hurried over. “Are you two okay?” 

~~

ok I know it's short and filler-y, sorry.... but there's a Zacy moment set up and someone can maybe talk about packing up?

Because now the group's mission is basically just to get back to the village safely... unless we have a plot twist. *grins evilly*

Because we still don't know why Alana, Zena, and Jakob disappeared.... *grin widens*

I SEE BAD THINGS IN THEIR FUTURE, BAAAAAAAAD THINGS--

Drop it, please, you're just being... weird...

I am?

Yes, you are, stop.

*shrugs* *evil laughing*

Um-

Uh... I'm just going to pretend I'm not your AE...

*posts comment before this can get any weirder*
