New Round Robin!!!!
New Round Robin!!!!
Aurore flung herself onto her bed. Tears fell from her face.Why? She thought. Why must I marry?
She heard her father’s footsteps coming up the stairs andflew to the door. She took the key and locked it.
“Open up! Aurore! Open the door! Now!” Her father shook thedoor trying to get in. Aurore covered her face and cried more.
Tears fell onto her velvet dress.
“NO!” She screamed. The room went silent. She heard herfather’s footsteps leaving.
She covered her face with her hands once more and sat inwoe.
A sudden idea brought her from her thoughts. I will leave. Forever. She decided.Aurore stood up and started to stuff clothes in a small leather bag. Then shepushed the window open and hopped out on the roof. She crept across themfinding places to hold in the shingle crevices.
Aurore made her way down the rose vines. During which shescraped her hands on the thorns. They bled slightly and she wiped them on herapron.
Aurore ran like the wind. She flew through the yard, feelingfree like a bird.
As she turned onto the woods path she was lifted off herfeet and blindfolded. She felt herself being pushed into something.
She tried to scream but her mouth was covered. She kickedand punched until her hands hurt. Aurore gave up and shed yet more bitter tears.
Freedom wasn’t what she thought it was. She was unprotectedand far from her family.

Can I join? Oh, and this an RR or an RP?
(May 3, 2011 - 2:15 pm)
Well, I don't know... Hmm... ZB made a character but I was kind of meaning this to be an RR but we can make it into an RP if that's better...

Sorry.
I don't exactly know the difference between an RR and an RP.
(May 8, 2011 - 12:25 pm)
That's okay. You know what an RP is so I'll tell you about an RR (Round Robin). That's where one person starts (like I did) and then the next person writes and so on. All with the same character.
It could look something like this:
Person 1:
Rebecca ran through the woods. The tree branches slapped at her face and scratched them. She winced but went on.
Person 2:
She heard gun shots above her head and moved faster. The grave tears ran down her face as she remembered how her family had been killed.
Person 1:
...
And so on.

Is that wrong, Admin? I mean I sometimes make mistakes like that (I am offended at you laughing at me, Greg.) I didn't know that it was wrong. I think I misinterpreted "grave". Admin?
When used as an adjective, grave means serious or solemn. So grave tears makes sense to me. I don't know what Greg would be laughing about.

For the RR:
She was thrown into a sack and borne roughly along a cobblestone road for what seemed hours. She didn't know where she was anymore, or what direction she was going in. She was frightened and half stifled through the thick fabric. During those hours she thought and cried and wished and wondered. She realized that even if she had not been captured, she would have nowhere to sleep, nothing to eat, nowhere to bathe, nothing to wear besides her old velvet dress. She understood the rashness of her flight, and how unprepared she was. She felt vulnerable and weak. She realized that she would rather marry a man she despised, the old fat man her father had selected for her, than die in the clutches of an unknown villain. She cried some more. She wished she had stayed home. She wished she had opened the door. She wished she hadn't run screaming away from her father. She cried some more. She wondered who had captured her, and what they were doing so near her father's property, and what they would do with her. She cried some more. At long last she fell asleep, scared and bruised, having cried out what seemed every last drop of moisture in her body.

What about we have a sort of RR, but there are two characters and we switch between just those two. What do you think?

Cool Idea!
