Private RPG

[Kawaii Kyuubi Kitsune]

Just as an opening statement: RaZoR LeAf gave me permission to do this.

This RPG is a private RPG with no sign up thread whatsoever, and character sheets will be posted in this thread whenever a new character comes up (Skipping all sections that the person doesn’t feel like doing, and lacking detail if they can’t be bothered). Only GoGoTenda, LadyUmbra, Tiana_M, indigestable_wad, Lonely Wanderer, PsiUmbreon, Raposa Daula and I may post in this RPG (Unless someone get permission from me to join via PM or over AIM/MSN and thus is added to the list), anyone else will be reported to a mod.

A brief background of the situation
People who are different than the majority are always either treated as inferior or treated with fear and hatred. It was no different when long ago in the world of pokemon some humans started developing supernatural powers and divulging into magic. Things were never too bad for those who had psychic gifts, as with the existence of psychic pokemon their powers weren’t too frightening… It was those who practised witchcraft and sorcery, those who mixed cast spell and mixed potions, who were demonised by society. There powers seemed to common people to go further than even the abilities of a pokemon could, though in reality the powers were merely different, not more powerful, with different limits normal people couldn’t understand.

These people were forced to leave humanity, as they knew it behind, many of them forming cults deep in the wilderness, far from humanity. There was one group that was different, it gradually grew larger as it moved even further from the villages of normal humans, even gathering a few normals and psychics as it went due to the nature of its goal… It was looking for a land that could belong to those with magic, a land to practise their skills in without being feared by other humans. It is not surprising that a few normals and psychics saw the benefits of going with them, for one thing medical technology in those days was nothing compared to what magic could do in the way of healing and curing disease.

Eventually they found what they were looking for. It didn’t take long for a flourishing kingdom to be created, one they named “G’nik”. Time went on, and as the rest of humanity worked on technology, the people of G’nik worked on perfecting the magic arts. From time to time travellers from far away found the kingdom, and from time to time a magic user headed off to see how the outside world was doing. Coming closer to modern times, those who left brought news that normal humans were becoming more accepting, and thus more magic users started to head out, though the more skilled and intelligent ones stayed in G’nik for the benefit of being able to learn from the mistakes of other powerful magic users.

That comes down to the current situation. Its all due to the fact G’nik is and always was a monarchy. From time to time the entire royal family had to be changed due to corruption, though more often just a lack of heirs to the throne. Such a time for such a replacement seems near once more. The current royal family (The Lebon family) is close to dying out. The queen recently feel ill with an unknown illness and her death seems near, the king took an oath to never love another woman and is surprisingly taking the oath seriously thus requested an alternative heir to be found. Both the king’s and queen’s families have long since faded from sight excluding themselves. It is known that they had a daughter, but she disappeared from public view about a month ago and no one in the royal court will discuss why or why she’s no longer considered next in line for the throne. Odd considering how open they are about the current situation with the king and queen.

The solution is the same as it has always been when deciding the next royal family. The first step is always search down those with instinctive knowledge of magic. Those with no magical training, yet being able to use magic like they had, are always the ones picked. Because all those with any magical potential in G’nik are trained in it from an early age, all of them are instantly eliminated from the list. Traditionally it went to the most suitable of those recently chased away from humanity that ended up at G’nik… Alas such people are becoming less common as time goes on, due to the numbers of magic users outside being low and the fact the fear of them is fading, causing a lot more work to be needed to be done.

This is not the first time people have been sent out to look for outsiders suitable. With a bit of spying those who look suitable are quickly given an invitation to compete for becoming the heir to the throne. With the offer of luxury accommodation for the duration of the event and permission to bring one other human as well, and all their pokemon, few can refuse the offer. It’s worth it for just the bragging rights of being in such an event, free accommodation, and a chance to mess with black magic.

Because of the size of the turn out, everyone is split into small groups, being grouped with others with similar abilities to themselves, each group getting a small mansion and its grounds to themselves (Excluding the people there to serve their needs). The plan is then to observe how they act and how they deal with magic once they are given scrolls that explain its use… The magic that is to be taught is not magic commonly taught (With the exception of a few basics) because of how it is easy to miss use and is most often used for evil, though it isn’t actually lethal, just cruel. All the time the people serving them will be doing their best to convince the participant that they are merely waiting for the competition to get to where they can enter.

This segment of the story starts with the smallest group, the one that all of them have is a certain ability not associated with noble bloodline (It’s rarely seen outside the G’nik farming community) and thus isn’t expected to do very well at all. In fact the group was only considered just to be the punishment to a person who chose the royal family the time before last and made a huge mistake in it (Nah, just a scape goat for the whole King Huxian incident… Don’t ask, you really do not want to know).

My Characters
Name: Lilac Blossom All-Weather
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 10
Description: She looks like almost like a normal ten year old girl, except she is slightly more muscular though this is rarely noticed. Her green eyes sparkle like emeralds and with intelligence and her long black hair seems to never stay in the same place for long.
She wears a completely pink outfit that consisted of a long skirt, short-sleeved shirt, shoes, socks, and a wide brimmed hat, though the wide brimmed hat does have numerous holes in it that would seem to be from a carnivorous pokemon biting into it and there are burn marks around the area of the holes. She carries a completely pink tramping pack that looks like it should be a little too heavy for her to be comfortable wearing.

Name: Inari All-Weather
Gender: Female
Species: Deity pretending to be mortal
Age: pretending to be 7
Description: She looks like almost like an average seven year old girl, except she is slightly more muscular though this is rarely noticed. Her blue eyes sparkle with innocence and her long black hair has a health gloss to it.
She wears a completely white outfit that consisted of a long skirt, short-sleeved shirt, shoes, socks, and a wide brimmed hat.

Name: Kitsune
Species: Ninetales
Gender: Female
Description: Kitsune has pure white fur that never stains, even blood runs right off it, quite like her teeth except her teeth seem to always catch the light to make it absolutely clear that they are there and are sharp. Her pale blue eyes often always look like they are looking into the very soul of whoever she looks at; this is quite frightening for those who have anything to hide. Her over all appearance gives the impression that she should be drooling, which she probably would be if fire pokemon could.

Name: Biohazard
Species: Umbreon
Gender: Male
Description: Biohazard’s circles are a whitish blue colour, while the rest of his fur remains the usual black like most Umbreons, and his eyes are an emerald green. He seems a bit smaller than he should and his fur a bit thicker, almost like he isn’t fully grown as his overall body shape is more like that of an Eevee than a normal Umbreon, though few people would be able to notice such a small difference.
He wears a yellow bandana around his head, and on the front of it is the Biohazard symbol.

Name: Katar
Gender: Male
Species: Absol
Description: He looks like a perfectly normal Absol. His eyes are a not very unusual yellow, with black slits for pupils as one would expect a creature of the night walking around during the day to have.

Name: Omega
Gender: Male
Species: Mightyena
Description: Fiery orange eyes.

Name: Chu (Or Chew toy to Kitsune)
Gender: Unknown
Species: Pichu

Name: Ziggy (That’s the last time I let GoGo name one of my characters
Gender: Male
Species: Zigzagoon (What else could be called Ziggy?)

RPG Start Point
“…Are we there yet?” Inari had gone into a continuos loop of one set response, as she lay barely conscious across Kitsune’s back. Kitsune managed to ignore the young girls lightweight on her as she walked, with Lilac by her side.

“Yes, we’re finally here.” Lilac sighed, gazing up at the mansion before her. “Inari, it looks like your going to be introduced to what sort of accommodation our families wealth can get.”

It didn’t look too big, but it still had a feeling of class to it. It looked to a mere three stories tall, made of towering granite—not granite slabs, as there were no seams to suggest it being put together like that, but more like it had been carved out of huge a granite bolder— with some sort of metal trimming. Out around the building there were many outcroppings, many with gargoyle-like statues on them, also looking like they were carved out of the same block. Lilac gazed at the one above the door: It looked to be an aerodactyl in the middle of making a meal out of a— Lilac shivered.

I hope Kitsune is too busy with Inari to look up, she wouldn’t stop till she tracked down whoever designed this place and taught him a lesson… I’d also have to feel sorry for any aerodactyl in the area, if it wasn’t for the fact they’re extinct. Kitsune would love to use one to help prove the point. At least I can’t complain about the short soft grass and flat ground that’s all there is in this places grounds. Odd, the soft soil around here would mean the granite would have had to come a long way.

Lilac approached the door, noting how who ever build the place was smart enough to at least make the door hinges out of metal. On the door a piece of folded paper was stuck, and after Lilac tried the door handle, finding the door was locked, she grabbed the note so as to read it… It seemed impossible to remove it from the door without ripping it, so Lilac unfolded it where it was.

“Welcome guests,” The paper seemed to speak the words that were on it, glowing as it did so. “I am sorry that I have had to go collect a little something to help remove the exhaustion caused by using magic, and thus cannot be here when you arrive. I gave a key to the door to the chief and entertainer (Though people of that class would probably try picking the lock before trying the key), thus if the door is currently locked it will not stay that way for long. Inside, please use act civilised. Please remind the chief, entertainer, and that druid that’ll arrive, to enter via the servant’s entrance around the back. Once you do get inside there should be simple practise magic on a scroll (It’ll be labelled Prestidigitation) on the table of the room the front door leads into. Just place a hand on the scroll and try drawing the magic into your mind, and then you’ll be able to use it. Incarnations and hand gestures will enter your mind, and they are likely to be different for each person. After it is used, the spell will vanish from your mind draining energy with it… No, a pokemon will not be able to use this the same way, as it is designed for humans and pokemon can’t preform hand gestures or speak the incarnations.”

No name at the end and no obvious way to make it repeat. Odd.

“Are we leaving yet?” Inari’s new question got the response it deserves. Kitsune tipped her off onto the soft grass beside her, putting a delicate white ninetales paw quickly on her throat, and growled a threat about if she continued pointless questions.


OOC: Everyone’s first post should include them getting to the mansion for the first time, but I hold no rule on what they then can do. This RPG will be slack on the no killing another person’s character rule, as we are mature enough to handle it reasonably. If anything does go wrong, then remember one thing: Magic can fix anything, or make things ten times worse. I won’t tell you which.

As for rooms and layout of the mansion, whoever gets somewhere first decides it, others adding extra details as they see fit. And, no, the inside is unlikely to be completely granite, so don’t even think about it…

 

[PsiUmbreon]

"Ooooooh... cool!" Kyra spoke as she was able to see the mansion sitting on the hill from the vantage point of Vyle's shoulders. Vyle was exhausted, having to carry Kyra on his back half of the way there. And he was not happy about having to do that, either. After all, he was an assassin for hire, not a babysitter. Yet he was obligated to protect Kyra. Her life was in his hands, and if he let anything happen to her, there would be dire consequences for Vyle, both physical and spiritual.

Eventually Vyle trudged up to the mansion's doorstep, still bearing the weight of Kyra. He did not pay particular heed to the scuffle of the Ninetales and what seemed to be its trainer nearby. A note hung at the side of the door. Vyle tried to pull it out, but the paper resisted, and as a result, partially tore. He settled on reading it as it was attached to the doorstep:

“Welcome guests. I am sorry that I have had to go collect a little something to help remove the exhaustion caused by using magic, and thus cannot be here when you arrive. I gave a key to the door to the chief and entertainer (Though people of that class would probably try picking the lock before trying the key), thus if the door is currently locked it will not stay that way for long. Inside, please use act civilised. Please remind the chief, entertainer, and that druid that’ll arrive, to enter via the servant’s entrance around the back. Once you do get inside there should be simple practise magic on a scroll (It’ll be labelled Prestidigitation) on the table of the room the front door leads into. Just place a hand on the scroll and try drawing the magic into your mind, and then you’ll be able to use it. Incarnations and hand gestures will enter your mind, and they are likely to be different for each person. After it is used, the spell will vanish from your mind draining energy with it… No, a pokemon will not be able to use this the same way, as it is designed for humans and pokemon can’t preform hand gestures or speak the incarnations.”

The words shimmered as he read them. Vyle complained in a muttering voice, "So this means we'll have to go around the back?" Kyra was entranced by the shimmering and wanted to see the paper again, but the paper would not react as she reached over from Vyle's back and pulled at the paper, tearing it even more. She stopped pulling once she heard the rip.

Vyle apathetically began to make his way around the mansion, ignoring Kyra's comments of wonder at the gargoyles decorating the outside of the mansion. "She thinks this is just a game," he sighed to himself. Such ignorance, such innocence... she doesn't have a fear in the world about the intentions of some random person inviting her to a mansion. And of course, I had to be dragged along..." His thoughts echoed in his mind as he trudged, ignoring everything, not because he was unaware of his surroundings, but because at this moment he couldn't care less. Although the person being attacked by the Ninetales did look vaguely familiar to him, he did not care to investigate. He just wanted to make his way into the mansion so that he could begin his mission and get his reward. He knew that a difficult mission stood in front of him: to dispose of his target and to keep Kyra safe.

 

[indigestible_wad]

I'll put up my characters' profile, considering no one has ever seen my characters and the story I'm making won't be up until I have time to write it so yeah.

Jordan
Female
Age: 17
Jordan has dyed blonde hair, but her natural hair color is a light brown or brunette color. She usually keeps it down sometimes in curls. Every once in a while she'll come up with some other hairstyle. Her eyes are of a deep, almost enchanting brown, but she covers them up with blue contacts even though she has close to perfect vision. She generally wears low cut jeans and tops ranging from skimpy to thickly covered. She is very self conscious about her appearance and tries to be the perfect shape and body. She goes out of her way to get to the guys. She is greedy to an extent and is just a brat sometimes.
History: She hates pokemon. Her mom was a pushy person and just made her whole childhood about pokemon. With her rebelious nature she grew to hate them. Adolescence just made it worse. She does have one pokemon though, because her mom made her.

Skitty
Female
Just a generic skitty. It's very similar to the one on the anime and is almost just as hyper. It's oblivious to Jordan's hatred and annoyance to it and just wants to play.

Jessica(Jess) Hawthorn
Female
Age: 17
Jordan's best friend, she has been the yin to Jordan's yang. Or the yang to her yin. Either way. Without Jess, jordan would have left her mother's house and probably on the streets. Without her, Jordan would be left drunk at parties in a drunk sleep. Jess is the smart one and can weave her way out of tricky situations. She has brunette hair and hazel eyes and wears blue jeans and different t-shits.

Pokemon

Butterfree
Male
Just a generic butterfree. For now.

Girafarig
Female
Same as above

Mudkip
Female
Same again. Anything to do with the pokemon will probably develop later.

-----------

"Wow, look at this place," Jess said as she gazed up at the granite building. "isn't it amazing?"

"It's made of rock," Jordan mumbled, "greay rock, so unoriginal."

Jess flinched. She was not very comftorable with the constant whinig remarks that Jordan had made on the trip there. It was always there's no boys or beer, it's boring. If Jordan hadn't invited her jordan probably would never have made it out of her house. Jess just wanted to put her stuff away and get away from it for a while. "Let's just go okay?"

They walked up the way to the mansion avoiding the few other people in the way. The walked up to the door to find a message torn almost to the point of falling off. Jordan reached to grab it when Jess yelled, "Stop!" But it didn't work. Jordan took hold of the paper and tore it off the magical tape it was stuck to.

"Whoops," Jordan said, though she clearly didn't mean it. She held it up to her face and read the paper to herself. She then let it fall to the ground and she turned around to watch the other people. "They look pretty boring," she mumbled to herself.

Jess frowned at Jordan. "Thanks a lot," she grumbled and she picked up the paper and read it. When she was finished she looked around to find Jordan in the same place she was when Jess started reading. Jordan was still looking at the other people and pokemon with the same bored expression. Jess walked up to her and asked, "So what do you think we should do? We can try to go around back and get inside or we can sit out here and mingle."

"I don't want to do anything."

"Fine, you can stay here and I'll go find the door out back," Jess said and she walked off around the building.

 

[Raposa Dalua]

Characters:
Name: Naomi Lament
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Species: Human, Druid Class

Description: Naomi is average sized for her age, standing at a good five foot eight. She has pale white skin, an indication that she either spends way too much time inside, or only goes out at night. Her pinkish-red hair hangs to about mid-back, with her grown out bangs cut off at shoulder length and shifted around to frame her face. Her eyes are a pistachio green color, and are strangely warm and inviting, despite her kind yet somehow cold attitude towards others. She's skinny at best, appearing rather frail looking. Despite this, she has surprisingly large amounts of energy and endurance, and it does hurt quite a bit when she whacks someone with the strange beaded staff she carries with her. Her main outfit consists of a black skirt, which is pointed around the edges. The points hang just below midthigh. Her shirt is sleeveless with straps that wrap around the back of her neck; it is also black in color. Over all this is a crimson hooded cloak, pinned together on her right shoulder by an onyx brooch outlined in silver. Her sandals are black, and they have thin black straps that wrap up and around her leg, reaching halfway up towards her knees.

Name: Cassandra
Gender: Female
Species: Espeon

Description: Cassy is a sleek, shimmering Espeon whose fur is a darker shade of purple than most Espeons' fur. Her eyes are a cold, pale blue color, that seem to spark with a hidden power that she only taps into when she really feels like it. Cassy has an opal to replace the normal red gem that is embedded into an Espeon's forehead. She is skinny and agile, capable of many acrobatic skills. Now, there isn't much to say about her physical strength, but her elemental powers are something to be feared.

Name: Furai
Gender: Male
Species: Shining Flygon

Description: Furai is a shining Flygon, thus having aqua replace the normal dark green and orange replace the normal red coloration of a normal Flygon. Coupled with this is a flurry of sparkles and stars that constantly dance around him. Furai has amazing physical prowess, and though he is rather slow on the ground his aerial speed is second to only a few other species. An apathetic aura emits from him at all times; even the sparkles that dance around him seem cold and lifeless. He has little care for what he eats as well, and the only reason he no longer feeds on humans is that Naomi had strictly ordered him not to. He will eat the pokemon of other trainers, however, as long as he can claim that he didn't know the pokemon belonged to someone else.

Name: Comet
Gender: Male
Species: Ninetails

Description: Comet is a bit taller than most normal Ninetails, though this is rarely recognized. His head and tails are usually hanging low, and his deep, emotionless purple eyes are downcast, as though he feels he has no right to look upon the wretched world he lives in. His fur is a glossy black color with random whiteish-blue streaks criss-crossing over it, earning him the nickname "Comet." He appears to be somewhat useless in battle, he barely moves and his attacks are half-hearted; he mostly waits to be defeated so he can curl up in his own little world again. Comet has a hefty curse placed upon him. Basically, anyone who gets near him, be it physically, spiritually, emotionally, or any other form of being close that you can think of, something bad will happen to that person. Now, this bad can be bad as in annoying, bad as in silly, bad as in physically/mentally harmful, and even bad as in death. This punishment for being near him is chosen at random. Also included in the curse is the inability to kill himself. This was included so that he must continue to make others suffer until someone else decides they need to kill him.

~~~~***~~~~

Naomi sighed as she padded on, lifting a pale white hand and running it through her hair so as to remove the offending locks that had been blown within her eyesight by the light breeze that wafted through the valley. The gnarled staff she used as a walking stick could simply be considered that, were it not for the odd symbols, beads, and pieces of fabric that hung from it, drifting to and fro with the wind. She now leaned on said staff for support, breathing lightly as she scanned the area. Her light green eyes swerved around, checking out the environment and finally landing upon her destination: the three-story mansion up ahead that seemed to be made of some sort of stone. Perhaps it was granite, but Naomi really couldn't care less, so long as the people who designed the building were smart enough to not make the door and window hinges out of stone as well. She leaned there for awhile yet, just absently staring at the area as though she were trying to comit it to memory.

After a good ten minutes or so, she felt a soft nudge at her side. Pistachio green eyes met icy blue eyes as her kindhearted Espeon companion stared up at her in concern, the opal embedded in her head glinting in the sunlight, sending out tiny little dots of multicolored light. Cassy tilted her head to the side slightly, her large ears flopping sideways and hanging at an odd angle. This action was enough to bring a grin to Naomi's face, coupled with a tiny chuckle. The pink-haired girl leaned down slightly, scratching the purple fox behind the hears.

"Thanks, I think I needed that. I was thinking too much again, huh?" she inquired.

The psychic creature only made a sort of shrugging motion, then continued on her way. Naomi shook her head, adjusted her staff, and started walking again. Once she got closer to the mansion itself, she saw several odd things. One was two young girls who couldn't be any older than ten, a completely white Ninetails, and two odd looking people who appeared to be sneaking around to the back entrance. She scratched the back of her head, not sure about which situation she should tackle first. This problem seemed to resolve itself, however, when the white Ninetails suddenly decided she'd rather not have a rider anymore. The young girl fell unceremoniously to the ground, and the fire fox proceeded to place a threatening paw on her neck and growled at her in an annoyed way.

"Man, we haven't been here for more than ten minutes or so and they're already trying to kill each other. I tell ya Cassy, this job so isn't worth what the master of this mansion is paying me..." she muttered as she watched the scene play out.

"But you aren't getting paid anything for being here."

"Exactly."

Thinking quickly, Naomi's gaze snapped to her right, where her second traveling companion was sitting quietly, his amethyst eyes downcast. The sleek, black and white-streaked Ninetails was already blaming himself for Naomi's stroke of bad luck, and he was quite surprised when he heard her dish out his first real order for the day.

"Heya Comet, could you do me a favor and stop that white Ninetails over there from killing her companion? A light tackle should do the trick, eh?"

Comet seemed a little startled at first, and it seemed his already drooping tails sunk lower at the thought of intentionally causing harm to another creature. He looked hesitantly over at the human girl currently pinned to the ground, then stood up. He took off at a dash, becoming increasingly faster as he charged forward. His light paws made no sound as he ran. At the last minute he turned, slamming his side into the white Ninetails he had been ordered to attack. The white fox staggered away from the human she had been threatening to kill, nearly falling over in the process. Comet kept his ears low and refused to make eye contact with the now recovering Ninetails; he also avoided looking at her two female companions. He chose to stare at an oddly bent blade of grass that seemed to stick out from the rest. Gosh... this blade of grass sure was... interesting...

"I-I'm really sorry about that," he managed to stutter out in his own, quiet little voice, "I hope I didn't hurt you or anything... But it really looked like you were going to kill this girl and that couldn't happen, ya know, 'cause there's enough death in this world already and... I'm just really sorry..."

 

[Tiana_M]

Here're my Characters:

Name: Tiana Morenza
Age: 25
Species:Human
Gender: Female
Description: Tiana stands at 5ft 9in and is lean. Tiana’s hair is rich golden red in color and it flows down to her waist when let loose, but is most often worn in a ponytail. She wears a green blouse, blue-jeans, and soft, brown-leather boots. When in the kitchen, Tiana wears a white apron over her clothes so as not to completely ruin them while cooking. When traveling, she carries a canvas hiking pack that has no frame.
Personality: Tiana is very good-tempered and kind to any who enter her domain(this being the kitchen), without intentions to steal. Tiana is very good at telling moods and is always willing to lend a friendly ear, and usually is able to give fairly good advice if it is asked for. Tiana can also be quite cunning especially if she wants information.

Name: Kindle

Gender: Male

Species: a mix between a Flareon and an Espeon

Description: This magic-made mix has the usual orange body and fire-fur, neck-scruff of a flareon, but this particular flareon has a sapphire on his forehead and the last fourth of his fire-fur tail is split into two distinct parts.

Personality: Kindle is a mischievous pokemon who likes to use simple illusions to play tricks on people. But other than that he is nice and wouldn’t harm a fly (unless it was buzzing annoyingly around his head). He is also rather loyal to Tiana who is still not quite sure of the reasons why he stays with her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

Tiana stopped on the hill that overlooked the mansion in which she would be living and cooking for quite some time. She adjusted the pack on her back and observed the place. She thought that the place was certainly a marvel in it's own right being made completely of smooth granite. Tiana assumed this had been accomplished by some not too small magic and was impressed by the workmanship showed by one who could create such a place.
"So what do you think of our new abode, Kindle?" Tiana inquired of her pokemon. Kindle, who was always allowed free range, had stopped to sit just at her feet, he thought the mansion looked somewhat dull and boring but, since that was supposedly where they were going to stay he just shrugged in reply to Tiana's question.

"Hah! is that all? well in any case it looks like there are people waiting for us seeing as we've got the keys." Tiana remarked.
Kindle got up and moved sinuously towards the mansion and barked, "Flare re reon. Fla flareon flare."
Guessing that Kindle's reply had something to do with going on and getting there, Tiana nodded her head and said, "Right you are, Kindle let's go." She then resumed walking towards the mansion and reached it shortly. She nodded to those people that had gathered around the front of the place and who had been watching her, and after stepping on the note, she heard it crackle beneath her feet and looked down. She then picked it up and read it through carefully.

Tiana then used a small mending spell she knew on the paper and returned it to it's original state, taped to the door.
"Alrighty then," She turned and announced to the others, "It seems you've all been waiting for me, I'm Tiana the Cheif Cook around this place starting now, this fellow here is Kindle." She said as she indicated the Flareon-Espeon mix who had so far chosen not to leave Tiana's side. "Anyway, I've got the key to this place as the note said, so let's take a look at the inside of these walls shall we? I'll go around and come back through the house and open this front door for you all alright?" Tiana smiled around at the others a bit, nodded satisfactorily and walked around to the back of the mansion leaving the others to wait.

Tiana had gone around to the back and found a Hazel-eyed brunette just trying the door handle. Tiana chuckled and then said, "Hmm, I don't think you'll get in very easily that way, at least not without a key." She said as she brandished the key in her right hand after having pulled it out of her back pocket. "Hi, my name is Tiana and I'll be the one letting you and the others in. I'm also the Cheif Cook around here, and if you'll just stand aside a bit, I could get around to unlocking the place if you don't mind." The girl moved to the side and Tiana finished the rather one-sided converstion as she unlocked the door, "By the way that little mischief maker there is Kindle. I'll go through and open the front door for you all. See ya inside." Tiana nodded to the girl and slipped into the now open house.

Not too unsurprisingly she was in the kitchen. It was a well-sized kitchen with plenty of cupboards, a one-room pantry in the right-hand corner nearest the outside door, or in any case that was what she guessed that small room off in the corner was, two large wall ovens, an island with a rack of pots and pans hanging over it, a large sink, and more counter-space than she had ever seen in one kitchen. This room had two other doors and seeing as Tiana couldn't linger too long in the kitchen she set her pack down by the nearest counter and told Kindle, "You stay and guard this until I get back. It shouldn't take too long to open that front door." Kindle glared at Tiana but sat down by the pack thinking to himself, Guard it against what, rats? I would be much better off exploring this place. but, staying none-the-less. In any case Tiana had already dashed off thorugh the door near the left-hand corner of the far wall to go find and open the front door for the others.

Leaving the kitchen Tiana found herself in a rather large hall with a long table in the center. On the table was a small scroll. and at the other end of the hall was the large frame of the same large wooden front doors she had seen from the outside. Tiana didn't bother to touch the scroll on the table, knowing that it was likely that she already knew the prestidigitations it was made to teach. So she headed for the huge double doors and along the way noted that there were two grand staircases leading from either side of this large hall and two doors set fairly far apart on the wall behind her, the one farther to her left(as she's still facing away from them) being the one she had just come out of. As she continued down the hall she noticed two grand side doors that probably led to two side rooms or maybe a workshop or two.

Once she reached the double doors, she saw that the key for them was on the end of the table closest to her. She scooped up the key and swiftly unlocked the doors and slowly pushed one of them open. Then she said to them all as they came in, "Ok then, Dinner will be served promply at 6:30. Now, I need at least three people to come back to the kitchen in about an hour or so to help me with the cooking so, are there any volunteers or do I have to choose victims?" Tiana said this last with a twinkle in her eye and a small quirk of the mouth.

[GoGoTenda]

"Thank you soooo much for bringing me along, Ryan." The girl's blue eyes smiled as she wrapped her arms around him for the umpteenth time on their trek. Her light brown hair lay freely down her back and a few stray strands fluttered about in the gentle wind. Soft cotton from her red shirt brushed against his arm, which he put around her waist.

"For the last time, you're welcome, Kenni. It isn't that big of a deal for you to come with me." The boy, likewise, was a brunette, but his eyes were green with traces of both red and blue that seemed to float about. He wore a long-sleeved white shirt with a yellow fleece vest over it. Six Pokeballs were attached to a black leather belt at his waist, the belt itself being in the loops of a worn pair of blue jeans. “Shinu desperately wanted to me to take him, but I told him I’d rather go with you.”

“Aw, that’s so sweet of you.” Kenni giggled childishly before lightly putting her lips to the boy’s reddening cheek. She withdrew and returned to laughing at Ryan’s embarrassment. “You know, we’re probably going to be late if we don’t hurry. That’s the house, right?” The girl pointed a finger towards the magnificent mansion they were approaching.

“Wow…it’s even bigger than I suspected. Which means, yes, I think that’s the place. And we won’t be late; there are still people waiting outside.” He could just barely see the doors open with a woman behind them, obviously addressing the other guests. “Never mind, we might be late after all. I don’t see a reason why we should rush, though.”

“Ooh, so laid back? How very unlike you…is it just your Ditto Personality Dysfunction Syndrome acting up again?”

“…you just aren’t going to drop that, are you? I do not have DPDS; for a Ditto, I have a wonderful concept of self-identity. My personality won’t be fracturing anytime soon, thank you. Why would you even want that to happen?”

“I don’t. It’s just fun to say, that’s all. Ditto Personality Dysfunction Syndrome. Ditto Personality…” Kenni continued to repeat the disorder’s name, getting softer and softer each time. Ryan smiled despite himself; he shouldn’t have expected anything different. As they closed in on the mansion, Ryan took in the sights. Gargoyles decorated mansion, but one of an Aerodactyl caught his eye.

I’m never going to see a real Aerodactyl to get transformation intel from; this may be the next best thing. Wait, what is it eating? He nearly burst out laughing at the artist’s obviously uninformed opinion of Ninetales. No Ninetales I’ve ever met would be prey to an Aerodactyl. Especially not oh God, she’s here! Ryan suddenly stopped as the pure white Ninetales came into view. Kenni caught on the brink of tripping over the boy she was still clinging to.

“What’s wrong, Ryan? Is something bothering you?” Kenni traced her boyfriend’s line of sight and dropped her jaw. “Kitsune is here? Why would she be here? It doesn’t make sense.”

“Lilac’s here, so it makes perfect sense.” Ryan rubbed his temples in an attempt to ease a building headache. His dread for the coming days was too powerful to stem, so he stopped trying. Instead, he pushed forward with Kenni in tow. The two of them effectively ignored everyone else until they stood before Lilac. “Hello, Lilac. Hello, Kitsune.”


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: As I introduce new characters, I shall put up their forms. For now, there are only two.

Name: Ryan (last name changes depending on who asks)
Gender: Male (for most forms)
Species: Ditto (typically in a human form)
Age: Appears 16
Description: In his normal state, Ryan is a typical Ditto: Pink, gelatinous, and unimpressive. While taking on a human form, Ryan stands about 5’5”. He has brown hair that stands in short spikes, and green eyes with hints of blue and red intermixed. His skin is lightly tanned and his body is toned, but not muscular. Ryan wears a white, long-sleeved shirt with a fuzzy, yellow fleece vest over it. He also wears a pair of blue jeans and some generic sneakers. His human mimicry is so accurate that using the naked eye, it is impossible to detect that Ryan is not what he appears. Being able to shape change, Ryan can exaggerate/subdue details of his appearance while still appearing relatively human.

Name: Kenni Windsor
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Description: Kenni has light brown hair that hangs down to her back and is left hanging free. Her eyes are a piercing blue that stare into the beholder’s soul and past falsehoods. She stands at about 5’6” and wears a red tank top with blue shorts. Kenni also wears a pair of simple brown walking shoes.

 

[Kawaii Kyuubi Kitsune]

OOC: Sorry, Tiana, but I decided it best to do my post as if GoGo’s was before your’s (Or more like at the same time, as my post makes it look like) as it made more sense. Not like it really makes much difference, but since I haven’t RPGed with you much I can’t be sure whether you are happy for things like this to happen. Also note, sometimes time in an RPG flows differently in two different places.
LadyUmbra: Reserving posts is the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard of, such ooc posts waste space in the RPG and serve no purpose. If you intend to just edit a post in, it’ll be obsolete as others posted after you took that spot thus making it so no one would notice it. Please just post when you’ve got a post ready.
Everyone: Lilac was the first to the first spell scroll, but she was unable to use it. If anyone thinks they can do better, then they’ll have to run into Lilac to attempt it.

IC:
Kitsune staggered a bit from the impact of the other ninetales. She had lost hold of her prey, which seemed more surprised about the attack than she had.

“Impressive skills,” She complimented the black ninetales with white streaks in his fur. Noticing how he was focused on a single blade of grass, she flicked her tails against each other to quickly form a will-o-wisp, making it float down and turn that blade of grass to ash. “You seem quite stealthy even with no cover to hide behind, and you must have been quick too for me to have not noticed you coming. But there is a little human phrase I’ve heard, ‘No good deed goes unpunished’… From what I’ve seen the humans were right about that, at least when the good deed involves a human.” Kitsune turned away, flicking a tail across the ninetales’ nose and started to walk off to Lilac.

Meanwhile Inari had managed to get to her feet. Then she pounced, “Yay, another ninetales!” She screamed out as she caught Comet round the neck with her arms, hugging him as tightly as she could… then there was a brief moment of hesitation. “… I could be imagining it, but your fur isn’t as clean as most ninetales keep theirs. Do you lack the self-esteem and confidence to regularly clean your fur or something? Oh, you’re a male ninetales too! You and Kitsune would make a great couple.” Inari’s hug tightened once more, and she seemed to start dozing off in the embrace.

“Hello, Lilac. Hello, Kitsune.”

Kitsune quickly jumped into the path of the speaker, Ryan. “It’s been a long time,” Kitsune growled, though her stance, with her rump and tail in hight the air, plus her front end low to the ground showed her true feelings. “I suppose you still aren’t too comfortable around me for no reason?” Kitsune leapt, deliberately missing Ryan and his mate, but landing behind them, a quick mid air turn due to her tails flicking kept her facing them. “First to turn around to look at me gets pounced on, same if you move at all.”

“Don’t mind Kitsune,” Lilac giggled, “She’d never really do anyone any real harm without a reason, I even trust her to take care of my little sister now—“ She noticed a certain flick of annoyance in the way Kitsune wagged her tails due to what she had said. “—Okay, I’m still not comfortable playing with her myself and seems to get on my nerves a lot of the time. It’s not like I’m delebratly putting her at risk or anything, Kitsune’s taught her a few survival skills too.”

All this time Lilac hadn’t been paying attention to what was happening with any of the other people, confident Kitsune’s sensitive hearing and impressive listening skills would pick up anything important…

… Still Inari shouting out, “I volunteer for it, and I volunteer this black and white ninetales for it too” was quite a shock, and certainly, since Inari was still hugging Comet, it would of hurt the poor creature’s ears. Still it made Lilac look towards the door and see it had been opened.

“Well, Ryan and Kenni, I’ll see you later, I’ve got to see about learning some magic.” Lilac turned and jogged towards the mansion and into it through the door, “Either one of you move and become a toy for Kitsune to play with for a while, or you could just wait for her to get jealous of whatever company I get inside."

Ignoring the rest of the entrance room, Lilac went straight to the table that had a spell scroll on it. Unrolling it, she could see it was covered with strange runes, things that looked like they were part of an ink blot test (Lilac had been through many of those since she left home, she never really saw much in them), and the word Prestidigitation at the top. Placing a hand on it she focused on drawing the magic out as she was instructed… She actually felt the magical energies flow towards her, but they stay just out of reach, and even after what seemed like an eternity she still failed to draw it completely to her.

Well, the was probably a good attempt for a beginner like me, though it’d be no surprise if either Twilight left some barrier in my mind to stop me using magic or that I’m just too weak in magical energies to use this spell… Well, no harm telling anyone till I’m sure why I can’t use it.

She let go of the scroll, sitting down on a chair that was next to the table, putting her bag down beside her after extracting four small but heavy objects to keep the scroll unrolled on the table. Then she sat, staring at it as if trying to make sense of the symbols, while still making it possible for someone else to make an attempt to use it.

 

[Lonely Wanderer]

Name: Andixara Condilax

Gender: Female

Species: Mage

Age: Is unknown even for her, but she looks like in the age of 30 for humans

Description: An exotic woman, people could know straight off the bat that she is different from human. While her body is almost exactly like the shape and form of a human body, her skin is the color of pure white (meaning no color in her whatsoever), and her form is a little bit more triangular in shape; this could be mostly be known in the shape of her head. Her finger/toenails are also different, being a peach color rather than pink. Her hair is a faded black color, but when catching sunlight, it gives off a navy-blue shine, almost like an aura. It is also tied up in a rather-complex ball on the back of her head. Her amethyst eyes are full of mystery, giving no emotions—and yet power is also in them, making it seem she is a very known user of magic. She is usually seen wearing a unique dress; its fabric is mostly a mixture of violet and cerulean, while it’s decorated with silver lace. Around various spots on the dress are small jewels of amethysts, aquamarines, sapphires, and opals. Her feet are covered in a pair of black fur boots, though it is concealed mostly inside the dress. Usually, she carries around with her a long, skinny staff made of wood with crystal decorating along the pole. On the end of the staff were jewels of various colors, each one shining as Andizara's mood (such as red for anger, blue for sorrow, or plain gold if emotionless).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------​

How odd this is for me becoming a teacher to unskilled magic-users? This echoed repeating in Andixara's mind as the mansion slowly came into her view. It seemed that she was exhausted from the long walk; crystal-clear sweat dripped from her forehead unto the ground. It's not like that she couldn't just use magic to get to the mansion immediately, but it was just the fact that she was going to have "visitors" (she prefers calling them "Unskilled-magic-users") at the mansion, and she had locked the main doorway with magic so the "visitors" couldn't get in without being watched. After all, she didn't want them wondering in a place that could injury them with certain objects...

...Then again, it might as well do good to let them get hurt to quickly so that fewer would get taught and it could end sooner, but it couldn't happen. Apparently, Andixara was only doing this "teaching" for one and only one reason. It wasn't because she wants the magic to be once again controlled by humans (Pokémon were an excuse for this, because it had never happened before in which Pokémon could use such magic), or because it was simply requested.

It was because of a punishment...

Around her shoulder was a single string of gold supporting what looked like a big emerald pouch, carrying something inside that must of been quite heavy. The end of a thick book of somekind stuck out of the end; a golden ribbon, representing a book marker, swayed light with each step of this rather mysterious mage. Ignoring the heavy weight of the pouch, Andixara paused in her spot. She was about a half-a-mile away from the mansion, but with a little help with some magic, her vision soon enhanced so it could see more clearly about the few people that were still wandering around the locked entrance.

She caught sight of a rather bored-looking girl with curls in her (was it like a mixture of blonde and a light-brown color?) hair. It seemed nothing interested her, not even the statue of the Aerodactyl eating the dead Ninetales. Andixara knew that this was probably the one called "Jordan". To tell the truth, Jordan was probably as interesting as the bored look she gave. Finished observing her, Andixara soon caught sight of the "Druid" that was to arrive. At first sight, the druid didn't look close enough to what Andixara would be imagining; then again, she'll have to do, since she was carrying a staff and her skin also made some sign of being rather "different". Two more people that were caught in her sight was a young man carrying around a girl on his back. Andixara could see that the man wasn't pleasant carrying the girl as they headed around to the back of the mansion. The girl seemed excited about being around the mansion. About the man...well, Andixara ignored him, since he probably wasn't going to bother to be taught magic. The group of people she saw so far wasn't the entire reason why she gave a disgusted look.

It was the last three that caused her to be more disdainful. One was a 16-year-old boy, looking like any normal boy...then again, there was something rather unusual about him, but Andixara ignored that. The girl that stood beside her was also like any normal 16-year-old girl, aside that her eyes were rather more piercing than most humans eyes. She was able to guess that the boy was Ryan, while the girl was Kenni-- or was it Kenny? Shaking her head slightly, it was the sight of two creatures with a 7-year-old girl that made her feel uneasy.

The two creatures were Ninetales, although one was pure white while the other was black with whitish-blue streaks randomly going along the fur. Andixara then cutted off the spell, and her eyesight fixed back to normal human sight. Andixara bit her lip angrily; she loathes Ninetales, and since there were going to be two, she might as well have every right of being grumpy. She did, after all, dislike most Pokémon, but the Pokémon she hates the most was Ninetales.

This will be quite fun... Andixara thought with sarcastic humor. I might as well prefer going to the mansion by magic rather than go up to those two-- beasts!

With that decision, Andixara closed her eyes, and summoned the magic to teleport herself to the kitchen in the mansion. For a moment, the sound of her surrounding was muted, and she felt a slight breeze circling around her. It was soon when the familiar scent of her mansion had filled her nostrils. Opening her eyes, she found herself looking at an open door in an empty room; Andixara wasn't surprised by this, though, for usually the mansion wasn't busy.

Going through the door, it wasn't long until she soon found herself at the servant's entrance room. Sitting on a chair next to the only table was a lonely 10-year-old girl, studying the scroll of Prestidigitation. The guess from the black-hair and her emerald eyes made sense that this was "Lilac". There was also hints in this because she wore entirely pink clothing, which only this girl could wear. Giving a generous smile, Andixara walked up to the girl, trying to look as pleasant as yet.

"Greetings, Lilac," Andixara said with a sweet voice; she sounded rather like a young, beautiful lady, although the appearance might disagree. "I am Andixara. I am rather sorry that I am late, but as the note said, I had to get some things to help us with this training of magic...I saw the others, and they should find their way soon. I expect the cook to arrive soon, hopefully to prepare us for supper..."

Andixara realized that the girl wasn't saying anything, so she said, "I would appreciate it very well if you spoke up immediately."

 

[indigestible_wad]

OOC: Dag, I missed a lot I wanted to post about. Oh well, I think I can pick up where I left off.


IC: Jess had just layed her hand on the door handle when a woman with long red hair came up to her. "Hmm, I don't think you'll get in very easily that way, at least not without a key." Jess was a bit shocked at the sudden appearance of the person to talk right away. She also felt a bit shy too at seeing another person there. The lady flashed a key and stuck in in the lock. She then turned back to Jess and gave Jess proper greetings, "Hi, my name is Tiana and I'll be the one letting you and the others in. I'm also the Cheif Cook around here, and if you'll just stand aside a bit, I could get around to unlocking the place if you don't mind." Jess took no time in stepping aside. She grabbed her bags and shuffled her feet backwards out of the way. Tiana opened the door and stopped, "By the way that little mischief maker there is Kindle. I'll go through and open the front door for you all. See ya inside." She then walked into the doorway and closed the door behind her.

Jess felt sort of stupid now. She could have said something but something had held her back. She could have just said hi and given out her own name. She had always been a bit shy. Jess decided it was nothing and went back around to the front of the house.


Jordan was still bored. There was nothing fun to do. But she had spotted a cute boy in the midst of all the girls. Why were there so many girls? And ninetales. It sort of cripples the idea of having boys to myself. Wait a second... Jordan's face curled into one like the grinch might pull Competition. This will be interesting. She took a look around spied a boy with a girl attached to his arm with another girl nearby and a...ninetales. Great. Just great. Now I have to wait for the thing to go away.

Just then Jess came up behind Jordan and grabbed Jordan's shoulders and shoulted, "Boo!" Jess jumped up in fright and made a small shreik. Everybody around them took a glance in their direction and then went back to their own business.

Jordan's face turned scarlet. She turned around to face Jess, her face burning. "Why did you do that? I was thinking!"

Jess was doing all she could to keep herself from going into hysterics. If she opened her mouth she would start laughing hard. Jordan realized Jess would not be capable of giving a straight answer so she crossed her arms and turned around to look at the boy again.

Jess pulled herself together and said, still smiling, to jordan, "You should have seen your expression. It was priceless."

Jordan grew red in the face again and spun around so fast it was amazing she didn't fall over. "That was not funny. You made every single person look at me and think I'm a creep. Even that boy."

"You're so cute when you're angry," Jess said without realizing. She then pinched Jordan's cheek and wobbled it around. "So you like that boy over there? Let's go over there and say hi. It can't hurt, we're going to have to meet these people some time or another." Jordan mumbled something incomprehensible. "Oh come on Jordan, it's not that bad," and Jess pulled Jordan over to the exciting part of the front yard.

Jess propped Jordan in front of the boy and girl. "Hi, my name's Jess, and this is my friend Jordan." She didn't seem to realize that Ryan was in a corner and unable to make a move. Jordan just stood there silently, looking at Ryan, waiting for the right time to butt in. "I'm here with Jordan as guest. She's the one with magic and can talk to pokemon. Although she really doesn't want to. I'm just the dead weight," he boy and girl stayed rooted to the spot without moving or speaking. Jess's attention went over to the ninetails. "Hey cutie, what's your name?" she asked as she lifted her hand towards the creature's head.


OOC: oh, and just one more thing, wouldn't it be a nice idea if we turned off our sigs for this?

 

[Kawaii Kyuubi Kitsune]

Which one will move first? It’d hardly be fair to just attack the one I most wish to attack, but this on the other hand is more fun and fair… It’s hard to tell which will move first too, Kenni is more impatient but Ryan is sick of my little games already. Neither of them will give up without a fight either.

Kitsune’s tails wagged in anticipation, ignoring the approach of two other human females… up to the part where one reached out to her and spoke “Hey cutie, what's your name?”

“My name is Kitsune,” She growled back, shifting her position slightly so as Jess would be easy for her to quickly pounce at. “I’m not sure how to translate your name to pokemon language, so I’ll just call you dinner for now”

Kitsune pounced, her front paws landing heavily on the female’s shoulders, knocking her to the ground. Kitsune let the momentum of the impact make her body take a laying down position on top of the girl, her jaws near the girl’s throat. It was then Kitsune’s tongue flicked out, licking the girl’s neck expecting a shiver of fear… All the while Kitsune’s tails wagged vicously.


"I would appreciate it very well if you spoke up immediately."

Lilac looked up from studying the scroll at the owner of the mansion, and smiled.

It’s so great that Kitsune isn’t with me, by now this person would have been down on the ground with Kitsune’s fangs in her neck for talking to me like that. Well, at least I’m not defenceless without Kitsune… Yes, I heard this kingdom doesn’t have pokeballs, I wonder how she’ll react to one.

“Sorry, I was just trying to figure out how this works,” Lilac spoke, reaching a hand into her pocket to grab a pokeball. “It looks a bit beyond me, so I think I’ll need a little help…”

The pokeball she had her hand on in her pocket burst open, and there was a faint red glow for the moment as a small average looking pichu materialized. Of course Chu didn’t materialize in line of sight of Andixara, Lilac released it behind her chair. Chu quickly dashed up the back of the chair and on to Lilac’s shoulder.

“This here is Chu,” Lilac giggled as Chu rubbed itself against her neck… It never seemed able to act normal, but this was a recent quirk. “Chu is certainly the most intelligent pichu around, and seems almost telepathic at times. I’m sure it’ll do better than me at figuring this scroll out.”

Chu jumped down onto the scroll and appeared to be studying it like Lilac was before.

… Well, Chu will figure it out, but Kitsune would have to translate the results for me…

“So what was it you wanted to talk to me about?”

 

[PsiUmbreon]

OOC: For a description of my two characters, please read Chapter 1 of my fic. (link is in sig). It's like, barely 3 pages on Word, so it shouldn't take very long at all. The little girl in the chapter is Kyra, FYI.

IC: Vyle made his way to the back of the mansion, ignoring everything, yet remaining subconsciously aware of his surroundings. It was sunset, and Vyle's black robe began to sway a bit in the breeze. Kyra picked a few of the flowers growing on the side of the mansion, next to the gargoyles, from atop Vyle's back.

As they rounded the back corner, Vyle instinctively peeked into the back windows to see what was inside. A lavish kitchen, with pots and pans hanging and a large amount of counter space, sparkling clean and with two rather large ovens greeted him. "Hmm... this is a nice house... might be able to swipe a few gems while I'm at it..." he thought to himself. Most notably, he was able to see something that resembled a Flareon, but wasn't quite it. This alarmed him slightly, but he reasoned with himself, "we're invited guests, so I guess they wouldn't mind us coming in through the back that much... plus, most wouldn't hurt someone with a little girl around."As he approached the back door, he let Kyra down off his back gently, and breathed a sigh of relief, as he no longer had to carry her.

"I can't wait for the party inside!" Kyra shouted excitedly. Vyle chose not to respond, leaving Kyra with the impression that she was being invited to a party. Kyra did not comprehend the gravity of the situation. Supposedly, a position of royalty was being offered. Vyle was suspicious of the motives behind the invitation, but he was only here to fulfill a contract. Once he had done his job, he planned to escape with Kyra, hopefully before they could do anything to her.

Vyle tried the back door, and to his surprise, it was left unlocked. Kyra excitedly strolled into the room, suddenly full of energy again after her incessant complaints of being tired on the way to the manor. The not-quite-a-Flareon thing looked at both of them cautiously.

"Ooh, how cute!" Kyra screamed, beginning to rush over to the Pokémon. But Vyle put his hand on her shoulder, holding her back.

"C'mon, we have to find the host," he spoke grimly.

 

[Tiana_M]

At the front door:
At Tiana's announcement about needing volunteers she heard someone yell out, "I volunteer for it, and I volunteer this black and white ninetales for it too.” The source of the voice was not hard to find, looking just a little beyond her feet Tiana saw a young girl hugging a somewhat bewildered looking ninetails. Tiana smiled as she took a step closer and squatted down to be nearer the girl's eye-level.
"So you want to help me huh? and you think this little fella can cook do you? Well, I guess we'll find out 'cause at the very least he'll be able to keep Kindle company hmm? Alright then, report to the kitchen in promptly 30 minutes and bring this little ruffian with you alright?" Tiana winked at the girl as she stood up to see if there would be any other volunteers or if she really would have to choose victims.

As she was standing though, Tiana spotted someone lying on the grass with a pokemon lying on top of them, through a few people's legs, whose backs were turned to her. She recognized the girl who had been at the back of the house with a white ninetails lying on her full body. Tiana couldn't see exactly what was going on down there so she slipped around the few people in front of her to have a better look. Tiana finally saw that the ninetails was licking the girl on the throat. Tiana rolled her eyes and grinned then, after clearing her throat she said loud and clear, hoping that everyone would hear her this time, "I will repeat myself once more and once more only. I need volunteers to help in the kitchen in about thirty minutes and if I don’t get them, I will choose victims!”

In the kitchen:
About three minutes after Tiana had left, Kindle heard wind but it wasn’t coming from outside. It was right next to him! When he looked there was suddenly a very strange-looking woman standing right in front of him! But she had her back turned to him and she ignored him completely and swept out of the room through the same door Tiana had used earlier. Not having had any time to react, Kindle ended up giving a feeble yip at the lady as she left in remonstration for having surprised him. He promised himself that she would get a surprise in her bedroom sooner or later as retribution. Until then he was willing to let it pass and he settled his head back down on his paws near the pack.

Kindle picked up the sound of footsteps outside about two minutes after this and so he had gone to the kitchen window to see who would be coming in the back door when the front one was open. When he looked he saw a cloaked, shady looking character dressed all in black that surprisingly had a small girl riding on it’s back. Kindle’s interest was immediately sparked. Hmm, time for a little fun. He thought to himself. It was as they were entering the door that Kindle remembered Tiana’s command to guard. He struggled with himself for the few seconds it took the boy (?) to reach and open the door then he decided that he would obey Tiana, but still have some fun. He watched them thoughtfully from a sitting position by the pack trying to decide what trick to play when the little girl began to rush towards him as she shrieked, “Ooh, how cute!” The other person held her back and said in a voice that was definitely a male human’s, “C’mon, we have to find the host.”

Kindle let them walk past him as he was still thinking about what prank to pull, when he noticed that the girl had a rather funny looking ball attached to a belt that was colored red and white. He wanted to examine the ball further so as they were leaving, through the door that neither Tiana nor the other lady had used, he snuck out behind them and made sure the door didn’t shut all the way so he’d be able to get back to the kitchen. He proceeded to sneak up to the girl and carfully took the ball between his teeth and stopped letting her keep going, hoping the ball would come free after a bit of a tug. Of course, it didn’t, so he kept his teeth on the ball and followed them, momentarily leaving the pack alone knowing that it was unlikely to be stolen or stolen from. He looked at the way the ball was attached to the belt and concentrated on imagining it unclipping itself, then time froze and he knew exactly how the catch released and how it worked. Time resumed and he was left behind standing there with a new play-thing that would hopefully keep him entertained for a while.

He padded back to the door, clawed at it until he could nudge it open and walked back to where he had left the pack to find it undisturbed. Satisfied with a job well done, he began to examine the small ball. He found that it had a tiny button on it so he lightly tapped the button with his nose. To his surprise and delight, the ball grew smaller. He tapped it again and it returned to it’s original size. He did this a few more times and on the last time, meaning to leave it at it’s original size, he tapped it harder than he had meant to and as well as changing back, it emitted a bright red light that surprised him so greatly that he closed his eyes tight and so he did not see it when the light coalesced and solidified into another pokemon. When he opened his eyes he was quite surprised at the fact that another pokemon had seemingly come out of nowhere. He looked around to see if he hadn’t heard the door open and try to catch it swing shut but no swinging door in sight. Just another pokemon standing right in front of him. “Where’d you come from?” he asked rather instinctively.

OOC:Sorry if Kyra doesn't have a belt Psi, but, you didn't give a description of her either here or in the fic and I really wanted Kindle to have something to do. And next time, if you don't want things like that to happen, put in a description!

 

[indigestible_wad]

OOC: Just for future reference, Jess freezes up when in fear or some other emotional thing. And sorry Tiana but I have to change a scene just a tad to make more sense.

IC: Jess was not expecting this. Before she could lay her hand on the ninetails, it growled at her and shuffling slightly where she growled again, this time a little longer. Then she lunged forward. Jess did not know what to do, she froze fearing the worst. The ninetail's paws made contact with her shoulders and she toppled over. She closed her eyes and waited for impact with the ground, where imminent pain would soon be upon her.

Falling on dirt was one thing. Falling on stone, however, was another. Stone, concrete, and asphault do not feel good. Especially when you have a larger than normal ninetails on top of you.

Jess still had her eyes closed and was waiting for the ninetails to do something. All it did was lick her face. Jess breathed a sigh of relief. The sense of reality flowing back to her as her limbs gained movement again made her shiver slightly. She started to laugh. Luagh at herself and everything that had happened so far. She was silly to think another trainer's pokemon would ever try to kill her or anything of the like.

"Get off of her you beast!" Jordan yelled. Jordan was trying to pull the ninetails off of her friend but to no avail.

Jess stopped laughing and yelled at Jordan, "What are you talking about?" Jordan tried to say something but before she could a voice yelled out from above her.

"I will repeat myself once more and once more only. I need volunteers to help in the kitchen in about thirty minutes and if I don’t get them, I will choose victims!” It was the kitchen lady, the one who had told her not to go through the door out back. Jess pushed the ninetails off her. Having some similar experiences with jordan had strenthened her enough to make this a generally easy thing to do. The ninetails semed a bit suprized the skinny girl from beneath her was able to push her slightly into the air, but the expression had only been a flash, nothing too long to make sure of.

As soon as the ninetails was not blocking any of Jess's vision anymore, Jess leapt to her feet and ran towards the cook. She yelled, "My friend and I would love to! We volunteer!"

"What?!" Jordan barked.

 

[Kawaii Kyuubi Kitsune]

A brief moment of fear and shock. That was all Kitsune got from her prey. The girl did not mind potentially lethal fangs in her face, and after a brief shiver the girl started to laugh. All the while another human female was trying to pull Kitsune off, the fun of struggling against being pulled off the girl was not enough to keep her tails wagging as they were and they slowed down a bit.

Certainly not how I planned it, but I can still try to freak her out.

Kitsune heard the humans speak, her mind skimmed though the meanings of the words, none of it seemed very important to her. She opened her jaw and prepared to grab Jess’s throat in her mouth… The sudden feeling of being lifted off the girl shocked her into stopping and she was quickly no longer holding the girl down at all. She hesitated for a moment while Jess volunteered to do the cooking.

“I’d love to say I’m impressed with how you lifted me,” Kitsune began to circle her prey, Jess, and her prey’s friend, Jordan, ignoring everything else. “But it’s happened a few times before. Usually my victims are a bit too scared to resist like that… I am surprised that you don’t consider me scary at all.”

Kitsune turned her attention to Jordan. She gazed right into the girl’s eyes, and lowered her front end, preparing to make another playful pounce.

“You are meant to understand pokemon, right?” Kitsune growled, her voice lacked the playful tone it had when she growled at Jess. “That means I can challenge you and your friend to a little fight, I’ll promise not to eat any of the pokemon you use till after I’ve defeated them all and that I won’t harm either of you two as you’ve both got things to do in a short while… Oh, in case you’re wondering, I do not have a pokeball and do not belong to anyone.”

True, I sort of broke the one Lilac caught me in and she never really owned me. Any trainer would be tempted, as I implied that I have no human without actually lying, but I’m completely safe. No way they have anything strong enough to beat me… I just hope that they understood me, if not I’ll just have to make me challenge clear by ripping a chunk out of one of them.


OOC: I know I could of also posted for Inari, but I think it’s best I wait for Raposa to post before then. It would have been a bit unfair to volunteer one of her characters for something, then not give her a chance to complain before Iari drags Comet to the kitchen (Assuming they don’t get lost on the way).

 

[Tiana_M]

Tiana watched the crowd and kept an eye on the girl who was still weighed down by the ninetails. Her friend ran up to try and pull the pokemon off of the girl but to no avail. It was amazing then when the girl seemingly effortlessly rolled out from underneath the pokemon. The girl quickly dashed the few paces between them yelling, "My friend and I would love to! We volunteer!" Tiana did not hear Jordan's retort and so she smiled at the girl, "Alright then, no need to yell. Can I get your names? I'm Tiana by the way."

 

[PsiUmbreon]

OOC: major apologies for not giving a description, I thought there was one in chapter 1 of my fic. Well, guess not, but I'm sure one is in Chapter 2 or 3. Since I'm kinda pressed for time right now, I don't have time to do a high-quality description, but I guess i can do a brief one for Kyra and her Pokémon. Vyle's Pokemon will be described as they come out.

Kyra:
A young girl about ten years old. She has on a pink sweater and blue jeans. Her hair is dark brown, almost black, and she has hazel eyes. She stands barely above 4 feet tall. As you have seen, she is mostly innocent and has no particular reason to mistrust people or Pokémon. One thing to note also is that Kyra is an orphan, and really, her only guardian is Vyle, who is basically bound by a magical oath to protect her. Although she may be small and young, watch out for her natural magical talents!

(yes, she does have a belt, and she owns only one Pokémon, an Eevee, given to her by her deceased parents)

The Eevee:
This Eevee, who Kyra hasn't named yet (mostly because I haven't thought of a good name for it ^_^;;; ) was given to her by her parents shortly before they died in a... tragedy (mentioned in Chapter 6 of my fic). Kyra keeps it neatly groomed and cared for, and gives it lots of attention. The Eevee loves attention, and will often just beg for it, even from strangers. However, around other Pokémon, he is much more apprehensive. He will instinctively try to defend himself or run away using Quick Attack, depending on the Pokémon threatening him. (yes, the Eevee is male)

IC:

Kyra was disappointed at the fact that she could not pet the Flareon-like thing, as Vyle had held her back. Disappointed, the two started to walk out of the kitchen and towards the front, looking for someone to ask as to where the host was. It was at that moment that Kyra felt a slight tug on her belt. Unsure what it was, she turned around and saw red blur dash behind the island.

"Hey, that cute thing just..." Kyra blurted out, unsure of what it had happened. She assumed it wanted to be petted.

"It did what?" Vyle asked harshly. He had had enough of Kyra's acting childish for one day.

"Umm... it pulled me... it pulled my belt..."

To ordinary people, this would not seem like a notable thing. But Vyle was a thief. He knew something was suspicious about it. "Check your belt, dear," he recommended to Kyra. It was at that moment that she noticed her Poké Ball missing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Flareon-like thing had caused the Eevee to materialize next to the pack in the corner of the kitchen. Eevee was surprised at being released from its ball so soon. He looked around, curious about his unfamiliar surroundings... only to see a large, intimidating Pokémon standing in front of it. It had orange, fluffy fur, and a sapphire gem in its head. It was looking at Eevee intently. Worse yet, he did not see his trainer nearby. Alarmed by this, the Eevee growled at the strange Pokémon, arching its back, ready to lunge at the enemy's throat.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where did you see that Pokémon go?" Vyle demanded. Kyra pointed behind them to the kitchen, behind the island. At that moment, Vyle ran back into the kitchen. He damn well wasn't going to just let something like that happen to Kyra. As much as he did not like to admit it, he felt a responsiblity for Kyra's safety and well-being, like a father figure. Kyra ran after Vyle. Vyle stopped as soon as he saw the Eevee and the Flareon-like figure in a confrontation with each other, his hand ready at his side to battle the creature with one of his own. Kyra stood behind Vyle, astonished.

 

[Raposa Dalua]

Comet was mildly surprised when the white Ninetails didn't retaliate; she didn't strike him back or even call him harsh names. While this was a little disappointing (he'd been hoping to loose some blood today), it only got worse when the female human he had saved decided he was the top most huggable creature on the planet. While trying uselessly to struggle out of her grasp, he managed to overhear her volunteer him to help prepare the food in the kitchen. This was a more startling instruction than being ordered to tackle a fellow Ninetails. He flinched at the thought of attempting to cook the meals; most likely everyone would be dead before desert (if you'd like to imagine what he was imagining, then think of every single guest suddenly bursting into flame). He was surprised that nothing singularly bad had happened to the girl that was currently strangling him.

At the same time, Naomi was trying to find a way to get her fellow companion out of his predicament without completely and utterly insulting him. The aqua colored beads clicked against her staff as she came walking over, Cassy following with a rather amused grin on her face. By the time the pink-haired girl had gotten close enough to speak to Inari, Comet had managed to slowly wriggle out of her grasp. He bowed his head apologetically at the young girl and backed away from her, standing at a distance behind Naomi.

"I'm sorry about that, but Comet is a terribly shy fellow," Naomi apologized sincerely, nodding her head slightly, "That and he is a vegetarian, so he isn't the best help with cooking as our chef will probably be handling raw meat at some point. I'm quite sure that you all don't want a Ninetails being sick in the kitchens, m'yes?"

Cassy saw this particular moment as a chance to escape from all the drama currently taking place. She knew Naomi trusted her enough to not run off and get into trouble, and luckily for her human companion she didn't plan on doing that this time. She simply wanted to... volunteer her services. With a flick of her forked tail the psychic fox was off, searching for the human who insisted on needing help in the kitchens. She located the chef soon enough, the red-haired girl seemed to be out recruiting more helpers for in the kitchens. Tiana appeared to be speaking with two other girls at the time, and although Cassy didn't want to be rude and interrupt them, she felt she'd never get the chance to say anything unless she spoke up now. She nudged the back of the girl's leg to get her attention, and sent her a simple message via telepathy, all the while smiling brightly.

'I'd also like to help you prepare the meals, if that's alright with you of course. I enjoy a well prepared meal as much as the next person.'

 

[indigestible_wad]

"My name is Jess, miss, and my freind here is Jordan," Jess jestured toward Jordan, who had the most bizarre expression on her face. Her jaw was hanging there like it had become numb and her eyes were just there, almost expressionless. Jess thought the expression was priceless and she let out a snort of laughter. Tiana simply stared politely at Jordan. Jordan turned back to Tiana and asked, "So when do we start?"

"Wait, Jess," Jordan was poking Jess in the shoulder, "it wants to fight with you." Jordan motioned toward the ninetails that was now circling them like a shark would circle its prey.

"What, 'it'?" Jess asked aprehensively, "you don't know it's name or gender yet?"

Jordan sneered, "Fine, her name is Kitsune. You happy now?"

"Okay then, where's her trainer?"

"Jeez, why do you always ask me these things?!" Jordan exclaimed, snapping her arms out into a W shape.

"Okay, fine," Jess said, starting to get annoyed, "Kitsune, I'd love to have a battle with you. Where's your trainer?"

 

[Kawaii Kyuubi Kitsune]

How cute, he’s struggling. Inari thought as she just squeezed Comet tighter trying not to lose hold. They always do. He’ll break sooner or later, then he’ll be mine forever and ever. I shouldn’t need to have to do this; I am the deity of foxes after all, as well as a few other things too, but I can hardly be angry about that… This is too fun.

It wasn’t long before the ninetales broke free of her hold despite both her efforts and the usual physical weakness of the ninetales species. The black fox pokemon bowed his head as he backed away from her; his lack of confidence was clear as he avoided any eye contact.

“I'm sorry about that, but Comet is a terribly shy fellow,” A female human voice spoke; Inari didn’t bother looking at the talker as she continued to stare at Comet greedily. “That and he is a vegetarian, so he isn't the best help with cooking as our chef will probably be handling raw meat at some point. I'm quite sure that you all don't want a Ninetails being sick in the kitchens, m'yes?”

“I’m sorry for volunteering him without your permission,” Inari spoke, sounding too sincere for anyone, except someone who was paranoid or knew her. “He’s just so cute I wanted to hug him all day and night, plus to use him as a taste tester for my cooking… He’d still be willing to taste test anything that didn’t contain meat, right?”

Inari suddenly pounced on Comet once again, giving a loose hug while she whispered into his ear. “I’m off to explore the place, please make sure my sister Lilac doesn’t find out I’m off alone or she’ll overreact. I’ll have some special treats just for you at dinner time if you do”

Inari let go of Comet and dashed off. “Sorry, I’ve got to go arrange a few things to do with dinner before I can play some more.” She shouted out as she ran, stopping for a moment by the cook, “Hi, my name is Inari, and you’ll never guess the sorts of lists my name pops up on… Oh, and some of the info is inaccurate in most of the books.”

Inari then dashed inside, though the door, quickly ducking to the right to make sure Lilac didn’t spot her. From there she went deeper into the mansion…


Kitsune’s tails began to glow and stiffen.

So many questions, so little action. I need to be tired out to enjoy food the most, not bored to death.

Kitsune burst into a quick attack, racing between the two females, leaping a moment before reaching them so as to get the sharp tips of her tails at face height.

If I judged it right, a tip of one of my tails would of hit each of their cheeks, cutting into it a bit… Too bad I had to give it a little leeway so as to not risk seriously injuring them this early.

Kitsune spun in the air and skidded to a stop facing towards the two humans. Her eyesight was accurate enough to see if her tails sliced them, or how bad, as it was too soon for there to be enough blood for her to see. The wind wasn’t even blowing her way to allow her to pick up a scent of fresh blood if there was one.

“If you beat me, then you’ll be my trainer,” Kitsune’s tails started wagging again as they unstiffened, as the thoughts of how impossible them defeating her was filled her mind… Even if Lilac had threatened to allow other trainers to catch her when she pull tricks like this, and Lilac never made empty threats. “Not that you could manage that. Still if I enjoy this fight enough I won’t eat your pokemon, I might even be nice… Oh, any more pointless chatting and I’ll just rip out the throat of which ever of you two I consider the most annoying.”


OOC: It feels so wrong to type up thoughts of a mind as disturbed as Inari’s, so don’t expect too much from her in that way even if I type from her perspective a bit.

Tiana_M: Please do not do any more posts of that short length, it would be far better for the RPG if you merely waited till you had more to post about than to post at every possible opportunity.

Wad: Looks like this is likely to be your first real RPG battle sequence. These cannot be done without bunnying characters; otherwise it’d take forever. You know what Kitsune is capable of from my fic (Even if your characters don’t), so just bunny her as far as you think you can in your next post, though I do not really expect you to do the whole battle unless we discuss how it’d go over AIM.
