New RP
In the tradition of ZNZ (and probably many others), I'm starting a new RP thread, open to all! Create a character for yourself and put yourself in the story! I'm a fan of magic and medieval times, so that's where this story is set. My only request is that we don't add modern things like cell phones or laser beams... or spaceships. Right! Off we go!

"Dreg, I'm telling you, this is a bad idea!" Thresh hissed at his twin. Dreg of course paid him no mind.
"You remember your line, right?" asked Dreg, his eyes glinting with anticipation. That was the only visible difference between the two--their eyes. Both had long blond hair kept perpetually back in a ponytail, tanned skin, crooked grins that tended to make the opposite sex giggle, and perfectly straight, white teeth to go with. Dreg had blue eyes the color of the summer sky. Thresh, on the other hand, had red. Girls would fawn over Dreg until the cows came home, but one glance at Thresh and they would stare at him as if he were a new species of stinging insect. He'd learned to live with it--by sixteen he really hadn't been given a choice--but he'd be a liar if he said it didn't bother him. Dreg was the only one who looked at him like a normal person.
Which is why he usually went along with whatever his brother said, even if it was clearly a bad idea. Like right now.
"Yeah, but really... you're seriously going to go through with--"
"Thresh, please!" Dreg fixed him with a calm, blue stare. "This is going to work. I promise. And we'll be able to feed the girls for a month!"
Thresh pictured their three little sisters back at their house--hut, really; pictured how skinny they were and how resigned even little Terra had become to their tragic state of poverty. No five year-old deserved to starve to death. That made up Thresh's mind.
"Okay," he said, squaring his shoulders, "let's do this. Please make sure my head stays on my shoulders if something goes wrong."
Dreg grinned his crooked grin. "Nothing will go wrong, brother," he promised. "In three hours we will be feasting on roast pheasant!"

I'm Still Here!!!!!!!!!!
~Melayna~
I had three reactions when I saw Thresh 1) Hug him like crazy 2) Slap him in the face 3) Scream at him for deserting the family. I decided to avoid the second reaction, but it didn't take me long to breeze into the third. "Where have you been?? How could you leave? Didn't you care about us? How can I trust you again Thresh?" Then I turned to Clo, and basically yelled the same things to her. Thresh reached his arm out to me, like he had done so many times in our shack. But I put my hand out. To my surprise, icy daggers shot out of my hand against my will. Thresh fell back. I tried to help him, but a force field held me back, and I was sinking, sinking............................... and then it all went black.

/Clo//
No. It couldn't be. Melayna was sinking below the ground. I blinked to get rid of the illusion but a glance at Thresh's face told me it was true.
"Mel!" I cried. "Mel! I'm sorry, Mel, I just wanted to be safe, Melayna, Melayna, Mel..." I sank to my knees. Thresh put a hand on my shoulder.
"Clo--"
"What do we do, Thresh? We aren't safe here!"

Wheres Dreg?
This will be short sinse I'm in school.
//Rosalia//
I was floating between consiousness and unconsiusness. I could see Thresh and Clo sobbing, and I could sense that Melana had sunken to- I just hoped she hadn't sunk to where I thought she'd sunk.

I'm posting as Dreg, and right now I'm trying to figure out how to get him back in the story. Is anyone going to be able to do Noreen's part as well??? I don't know if I can do three characters.................but since I made her I'll play her part as well if nobody volunteers. I'll post a part for Dreg as soon as I get out of writers block...............

Is anyone else still posting???? TOP!!!!!!!!!!! (Dreg, right now)
Two of my sisters had sunk into the ground in the last five minutes. I stared at the French-sounding girl. She seemed to be explaining something to Thresh, but her accent was to heavy for me to understand. But it didn't take me long to figure they were talking about something, a prophecy of sorts. I kept hearing Thresh mention "The King," and it didn't take me long to put the pieces together. I walked over to Thresh, and pushed his shoulder so he faced me. I could tell he saw the anger in my eyes, because his face was in horror, before he vanished away. I turned to the now calm French Girl for some explanation. She held up a small mirror that came from out of nowhere. I caught a glimpse of myself, and my stomach wrenched up in horror.
My eyes were red.

That was good, but it didn't really make sense, especially because I'm technically unconsious.

I vanished? Where? How? I don't understand...
(December 15, 2010 - 12:05 am)
Well, when I typed it, I meant you dissolved to go get help for your sisters.
(December 15, 2010 - 5:43 pm)
What?
(December 18, 2010 - 1:54 am)
Now, I'm confused!!!!!!!!!!!! Explain??
(December 19, 2010 - 3:07 pm)
Yeah.... I don't get it either. So unless anyone strongly objects, I say we jump forward in time at least a few hours and whoever writes next does a little blurb of backstory to get everyone else on track. Because as I count it... Terra's been sucked into the earth and so has Clo, no one knows where Noreen is, Dreg's suddenly got red eyes, Rosaline is there (and supposedly unconscious), and Thresh and Melayna are just standing around clutching each other because the weirdest stuff is going down. Which I can sympathize with.
I'll write the next part if you guys want, but it might have to wait until the day after Xmas. Let me know what you all think.
(December 23, 2010 - 10:18 pm)
Actually, Melayna and Terra are the ones who have been sucked into the earth. ;) But you can definitely go ahead and write the next piece.
