Plot:
Centuries ago, The town of Bliss was the highlight of every travelers journey. They had festivals and celebrations all year and the town was famous for its breweries and shops. On the day of October 31, they threw a celebration, All Hallows eve, celebrating the dead. The uprising of an enchantress haunted the town. That night, a young child went to bed, unaware of the enchantress' return. He went to sleep, his mind drifting off into unknown worlds. The next morning his parent's found him in his bed, his stomach torn open. The officials of the town knew of the witch and tried to banish her. In attempt, the witch placed a curse on the town. Anyone who dreams, comes to life. The only problem is, no one dreams pleasantly. The town is now known as Nightmare Ville, and draws in travelers unknowing of its evils. Towns people have attempted to leave but keep getting drawn in. The enchantress has yet to be put to rest.
Aidin looked around at the empty pub as she cleaned the last glass with a damp cloth. She looked inside and held it to the light. "That's good enough." She set the glass down and put the cloth away. Letting out a deep sigh, Aidin went to the door and put the open sign in the window. She opened the door, letting a cool autumn's breeze into the dimly lit pub. She stepped outside and looked around. The sun had begun to rise. The dew on the patches of grass glistened in the bright rays. A young man walked up to her and nodded, walking into the pub and placing an apron around his waist. "Good Morning Miss Lohr." He said before walking into the kitchen. A clash of pots and pans made quite a clatter. "Try not to scratch them kid," Aidin joked walking into the kitchen. "Did you sleep alright last night?" She asked helping him with the pots. "Ehh, the dream catcher that strange Madam Pattel was selling seemed to keep away the evils." He looked at the stove and smiled. "So where is the bartender? He's late." Aidin frowned slightly. "He'll be here... He's never actually on time. You know that." Her eyes flickered to the boy as she smiled. "Try not to make a mess." She walked out of the kitchen and back out to the road. She leaned in the door way and shut her eyes. The sun rising higher in the sky, warming all that it beamed over.
-
Despite what the boy was thinking the bartender was not late, in fact he never left the tap and was sleeping under the counter. He felt someone turn on the tap and it shocked him awake as ale was all over his fur. "I'm awake, I'm awake!" he yelled as he got up and saw it was a waiter who was nice enough to not tell Aidin and let Chrono get found out on his own.
-
Aidin heard Chrono and entered the pub. "You need to stop doing that. I'm sure you have a home, especially with the money you make," She said leaning on the counter, her arms crossed. She looked at the Waiter who had found the bartender. "Go wipe down the tables," She ordered. She looked back at Chrono. "You smell like ale. Go get washed up and come back and ready your station. The autumn equinox is today, and the celebration is huge. We need to be ready." Aidin walked back outside and changed the flag that was hang next to the door. A small child walked up to her baring a bag of gold pieces. "Papa wants to make sure you'll have your best ale present. He has a large amount of people today and wants to have a large bash at your pub." The small girl smiled and held out the pouch. "Tell Paolo, That he is always welcome." Aidin smiled taking the pouch. She patted the girl on the head and sent her back to her father. Rowan walked back in and shook the bag. "You're going to be awfully busy today Chrono." She opened the bag and handed him a quarter of the gold.
Although the town is under a cursed spell, nothing holds them back from having celebrations. Many travelers come to celebrate unaware of the risks. The Autumn Equinox Celebration lasts three days in the Town of Bliss, or better known at Nightmare Ville.
-
He looked at Aidin in disbelief. "I have a home?" He then saw the bag of gold and his eyes opened wide. "Uh....What am I supposed to do with all of this again?" Chrono always had issues remembering ever, the only thing he could remember was that he was a bartender in Aidin's pub. "Seriously...you know I can never remember anything besides you..."
-
Aidin laughed. "Come on... The pub wont be busy till about 12. We have time to find you a cottage." Aidin went into the kitchen. "Hey Al! You gonna be alright if I leave for an hour?" She yelled. "Yea sure thing Miss!" Aidin smiled and walked back out to the pub. "Come on." She waved Chrono to follow her as she walked out the door and to the cobblestone streets.
-
"I'm fine with just sleeping in the pub Aid- where are we...this place looks, wierd" he said as he looked around the city he just couldn't remember. Hes been here all of his life, but soon after it became Nightmare Ville, Chrono couldn't remember anything if he tried, except his name, age, and odd powers. "Where is this cottage?"
-
A customer walked into the pub slightly perplexed at the lack of patrons "Hey can I get a drink?" he said before sitting down on one of the stools
-
Aidin smiled. "What am I supposed to do with you?" She walked down the road and pointed out a nice big cottage not to far from the pub. "That should fit you." She said smiling. She walked over to it and looked in the windows. "It's really spacious." She looked back at Chrono. "We can come back and see it later. Let's go back to the pub." She walked past him and waited for him. The cook walked out of the kitchen and saw the male. "So what Can I get you sir?" He asked getting a pint glass out.
-
Shot of vodka will do me nice thanks" said the Wolf smiling at the cook
-
He looked around and heard "Look mom, its that wolfy with am-am-amnesia, you think the wi-" it was cut off by the scared mother, who quickly picked the child up and kept going. "What was that all about, and how do they know me?" he asked as he caught up with Aidin.
-
Alpha downed the shot "Another please" NOTE: My charcter also suffers from less severe memory loss and doesn't know his name although he was originally called Alpha
-
The boy nodded. "Sure thing sir." He went for another cup. Aidin walked into the Pub. "Alright... You can get back in the kitchen were you belong," She laughed. She walked behind the counter and poured the man another drink. "So how are you sir?" She asked kindly. "Chrono, don't worry about that. People have been a bit on edge lately. Especially because it's getting close to that time of year again." She leaned on the counter and looked at him.
-
"I'm alright" said Alpha smiling at Aidin "names... whatever you want to call me" *laughs then downs vodka* One more please
-
"Good day everyone!" Philly shouts as he enters the pub and takes a seat beside Alpha. "Maybe you've noticed that I'm new in town. I'm traveling through on a mission to sell everybody life insurance!"
-
He walks up to the bar and hops over the counter. "Can I just say that I'm really thankful for giving me this job...and for helping me keep some sort of memory" he said as he accidentally triggered his illusion eye, causing Aidin to see the things she knows she likes. It then turns off when he hears someone burst into the pub. "Life insurance....sounds pointless since I don't see any weapons or armor on you..."
-
Yea coz I could really use money when I'm dead" Alpha had never been that fond of Insurance salesmen. "Another vodka please" said Alpha "Oh and I'm also new in town i fanyone cares
-
Aidin smiled. "You're just as lost as Chrono over there... I'm Aidin. It's nice to meet you... uh... Fang," She laughed at her choice of name. "Sorry... just trying to be a bit formal." She poured him another and poured herself one. Aidin quickly downed it and looked over at Chrono. "Alright, you can come do your job." She walked out from behind the bar and sat next to the male. Aidin looked at the new guy. "Life insurance huh? You'll be sure to make a large buck off of that in this town." She looked at him and downed another shot. "Chrono, you know where the brewery is right?" She looked at him hoping he did. "We got a large order today and we need some more ale."
-
Fang'll do nicely" he smiled going slightly red "another vodka"
-
"Ahh yes, well you all will be wishing you had bought some life insurance when you get into some major trouble. And if the rumors ae true about this town then I'm hoping I will" he says to Aiden. "Anyways, bartender, give me a glass of your strongest milk."
-
Fang gets up and sits on a stool far away from the insurance salesman "You know what just giv em ethe whole bottle" he said pointing at the vodka
-
"Uh.. strongest Milk?" She looked at him oddly. Her head went back as she laughed. "Sir, we don't sell... Milk." She looked at Chrono slightly confused. She looked back at the Life insurance salesman. "If you're lucky... You'll be able to leave this place." Her voice was stern, her tone solid and cold. A large man walked into the bar. "Aidin!" He said, his Scottish accent heavy. "Ah, Haggis. What are you doing this fine day?" She asked getting up to greet him. Her hugged her tightly. "I hear ye got chur self a huge bash on here later Lassy." He nudged her gently. "Of course, Paolo is throwing it. You're always welcome. We're all a family." She smiled and offered him a seat. "Nah, I best be off... I have to go get a wild boar for tonight's roast. Ye best be joinin' us Aidin. Bring Chrono and Al too. It wouldn't be a parteh with out you!" He smiled and waved goodbye. Aidin smiled and sat back down. "So ya up for a roast Chrono?" She looked at the others. "You two should come too."
-
Chrono came out of the cellar in the basement of the pub with two barrels of ale when he heard Aidin ask about the roast "But I just got the barrels....fine, I'm coming" he said with an exaggerated sigh, leaving the barrels behind the counter.
-
"A party huh? Well sure I'll go. Maybe I can make some sales there." He pauses for a moment then says "I haven't even introduced myself. My name is Philly, just Philly. I don't have a last name.....or is it that I don't have a first name? You know, I'm not quite sure."
-
"It's not till later tonight. So we still have to host the party." Aidin said happily. "Thanks for that Chrono." Aidin leaned over the counter and grabbed tequila. "Anyone care to have a shot off?" She looked at Fang and smiled. "We could use vodka instead?" She was in the mood for a good drink. Her eyes glistened with excitement. I looked at the Salesman. "Uh... I recommend not trying to do any sales at the party... Haggis dislikes that kind of stuff. And I'm Aidin Lohr... But You can just call me Aidin." She smiled and held out her hand.
-
Philly extends his paw and said "Well it is nice to meet you, and thanks for the offer, but I don't drink."
-
Chrono's ears popped up at that, and he quickly filled a pint with ale and almost slammed it in front of Philly. "Drink now..."
-
Philly gently pushes it away. "I couldn't. Do you know what kind of an impact drinking has on a person's life insurance...and life for that matter."
-
She smiled and nodded once. A small girl stood in the doorway. "Aidin... we need you! Hurry!" Her voice quivered in fear. Aidin stood, her face serious. She picked up the girl. "Whats wrong Gabs?" She looked down the road and saw a cottage on fire. "Mama is trapped inside and Papa is trying to get in but he's too hurt." Gabriella started to cry. "Alright, stay here with Chrono." Aidin set her on the counter and ran down the street. "Paolo... Where is Estelle?" She asked frantically. "She is the bedroom... She's stuck." He said his eyes tearing up. "I'll be right back." Aidin covered her muzzle and ran into the fire. "Estelle?" She yelled, coughing. She ran up the burning stairs. A piece of the ceiling fell in front of her. "Crap!" She uncovered her mouth and jumped up She spotted a beam fallen on Estelle. Aidin slid over to here and held her hand. "You're going to be okay!" Aidin comforted her. Estelle wailed as another part of the ceiling collapsed. Aidin looked around hoping for an idea. "Paolo!" Estelle shouted. Paolo stood and looked at the pub. "Chrono will know what to do." He ran to the pub. "Chrono! It's Aidin and Estelle!" He looked at him worriedly.
-
He looked at someone who just into the pub. Alot of sudden entrances today.... he thought before he heard what the person said. "First, who are you, and second...what about them?!" he was already out of the pub, but he waited on the person to say something before running off in a city he can barely remember.
-
A blazing building was in sight of Chrono. "They're in the house! I'm Paolo and my wife and Aidin are in that Fire!" He shouted pointing at the burning cottage.
-
Philly runs up to the frantic man. "Sir! Let me ask you something. Is you or your wife insured for something like this?"
-
Fang grabbed the bottles of Tequilla and Vodka and rushed up datring inside leaving his alcohol outside. "Aidin ar eyou okay!?!" he shouted
-
Paolo looked at Philly as if he were crazy. "No... But what do I care! She Isn't going to die! She's with Aidin!" He looked at the building. "Oh please Aidin... I know you can do it." Aidin looked around, still holding Estelle. "Don't worry I'm going to make sure you get out of here." Estelle smiled and held her hand tighter. A tear ran down her cheek. Aidin smiled as a tear ran down her face as well. I hope this works. Chrono! She thought, hoping it went through to him. Aidin listened for any hint of rescuing. She stayed close to Estelle waiting for Chrono or someone.
-
"Ah..." was all that escaped his mouth before he bolted into the blaze, jumping over the fire at the door and heading up the stairs. He saw Aidin and another woman that was pinned under a beam. "I thought you were stronger than this!" he said as he got beam off the woman and had it hold up the rest of the cieling. "I got the roof, now get out of here!"
-
"(sigh)You know I could've done that to" slurred fang before he ran out saving his precious booze from the fire. "Let's all celevrate!" He said glugging from both bottles at once
-
Aidin put Estelle over her shoulder and carried her out. Once she got out safely, she turned to see if Chrono was following them. "Chrono! Hurry!" She shouted. She set Estelle down and got her paramedics. She looked at Fang. "Thanks for trying to help." Aidin hugged him and looked back at the cottage. She spotted Gabby and picked her up and held her. "You mommy is going to be alright. Are you ok?" She asked searching her for injuries. Gabby nodded and hugged Aidin tightly. "Thank you Addy." Aiding smiled, "anything for you guys Gabs. You know that." She put her down and let her go to her mother.
-
I could still help with Chrono somehow" he said stumbling back into the blazing cottage
-
As soon as he let go of the beam, he heard it start to give and more of the roof fell, prompting him to go back and hold up the beam. "Uh...Aidin, I don't think I can without the roof breaking above me..." he yelled while still holding the beam up.
-
Aidin ran after Fang. "You're too Buzzed!" She tackled him and pinned him down. Aidin nodded and looked at the Cottage. She quickly vanished and appeared in front of Chrono. "Wow... I didn't know I could do that..." She quickly grabbed Chrono and looked out the broken window. She shut her eyes and concentrated. They appeared right outside, their fur smelling like smoke. "Wow... well that was different." She said brushing herself off.
-
Thanks for leaving me inside!" Fang said as the roof collapsed on his head
-
Aidin went back in and saw Fang. "Oh lord.." She held him and appeared back outside. "I'm really glad I can do that." She lied Fang on the ground and check his head wound. Paramedics came over and patched up his head.
-
He was unconsious when she got him out of the house, and from the marks on his hands and back, the beam was burning while he was holding it up, he probably passed out while still holding it up.
-
Oh god no my vodka! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed seeing the smashed bottle lying on the ground
-
Aidin went over and checked on Chrono. She looked on his head for blood and wounds. She waved another paramedic over to him. "His hands are badly burned. Bandage them up please..." She said walking to Paolo. "I'm sorry you guys. Would you like to cancel the party?" Paolo smiled. "Not at all... We still want to have a party." Aidin laughed. "You're crazy, but alright." Aidin turned at Fang. "Oh lord..." She picked up the broken glass. "You broke my bottle..." She looked at him smiling. "That's not cheap." She helped him off the ground and handed him the glass.
-
"sniff, he was so young!"
-
His eyes snapped open, and he weakly groaned. "Who broke the vodka bottle...." he didn't even acknowledge the paramedic that just finished bandaging his hands as he got up and walked towards Aidin.
-
Aidin shook her head and rolled her eyes. She looked over at Chrono, His eyes open. She smiled and relaxed. Aidin looked back at Fang. "Go back to the Pub I'll be there in a few minutes." She jogged over to Chrono and hugged him tightly. "I'm glad you're okay." She whispered into his ear.
-
My god... *passses out*
-
"What are you ta-" She grabbed his hands and showed it to him. "What did I just do to get my hands bandaged?" he said before seeing a building on fire. "Uh...thats new"
-
Is having a nightmare... body goes into spasm *dreams about things at the party bad things...
-
Aidin rolled her eyes. "It's getting worse Chrono." She said. "You saved me and my friend Estelle." Aidin ran to Fang and shook him. "NO! WAKE UP DAMN IT!" She slapped his face. His eyes flew open. "What did you dream about?!" She shouted holding his shirt.
-
eyes are glowing red* They're coming he said in a demonized tone before sitting up shaking violently
-
Leaning on the side of the bar door, Phil took a drag on his cigarette, ever since he could see into people's dreams, it acted as a release.
-
Aidin stumbled back and growled. "Damn it..." She said under her breath. She picked up fang and ran into the pub, shutting the door behind her. "Here drink this." She jumped over the counter and grabbed an odd looking purple bottle. She poured him a shot and handed it to him.
((Go to Nightmare Ville OOC For discussion on certain matters.))
-
"Yea sure" picks up the glass but as soon as it touches his lips his arm flew away from his mouth and smashed the glass off the floor
-
Aidin looked at him frustrated. "That's it." She jumped on him and pinned him down. She grabbed the bottle and stuck it in his mouth. After filling his mouth, she held it tightly shut, forcing him to swallow.
-
Swallows and begins going into violent spasm knocking Aidin off himself
-
Aidin held the bottle tightly. "That was close." She put the bottle behind the counter and walked back over to Fang's spazzing body. She waited a few minutes as he started to relax. "Feel better?" Aidin asked, her eyes looking off in a different direction not making eye contact.
-
How much did I have to drink? Fang asked his eyes still red
-
"Maybe you shouldn't go anywhere tonight..." She looked at him and lifted him off the ground.
-
Chrono came back with a barrel with a purple dot painted on it. "I figured you might need more...and sorry about the burns...I'll still serve drinks if you want" His and demeanor were different, as if the forgetfulness just melted away.
-
"You should rest your hands. I can handle the drinks. You just relax," Aidin smiled. She snuck a secret kiss onto his cheek and went behind the bar. She checked to see if vodka was left. "Do we have anymore vodka in the cellar?" Aidin asked sighing.
-
Finally deciding to enter the bar, Phil looked around and saw the life insurance agent who was quickly getting a bad reputation "Better watch this one"
"Excuse me Miss Aldin? long tme no see!"
-
"Phil!" Aidin jumped over the counter and hugged him. "How have you been?" She smiled warmly.
-
"Phil!" Aidin jumped over the counter and hugged him. "How have you been?" She smiled warmly.
Returning the hug "i've been better, trust me, i've taken to smoking as a release now..." Taking a seat at a stool, he checks his box of cancer sticks and realizes he's out already...
-
"Here... I figured you'd be coming today." She tossed a box at him and laughed. "Smoking huh? You really should quit that crap." She leaned on the counter in front of him.
-
He nodded and went back down-stairs to get a bottle of vodka, coming back up with it...but he seemed forgetfull again. "What was I doing?"
-
"Here... I figured you'd be coming today." She tossed a box at him and laughed. "Smoking huh? You really should quit that crud." She leaned on the counter in front of him.
"Well if you've seen what i've seen you'd be telling me to smoke my brains out, and thanks" Catching the box, he takes out out and lights it.
"Just get me some pure ale if you please..."
-
Fang tossed around on the floor before looking blankly at Chrono his eyes havn't seemed to change back "No more vodka!You strange person you" He said before slumping down against the wall
-
((would i be able to join in?))
-
"Well if you've seen what i've seen you'd be telling me to smoke my brains out, and thanks" Catching the box, he takes out out and lights it.
"Just get me some pure ale if you please..."
Chrono looked at the person, and nodded, putting the vodka on the counter and went back down the cellar, getting a small keg of ale and bringing it back up to the bar. "Right here sir...would you like it in a pint or straight from the keg?"
-
"Straight from the keg if you will good sir."
-
*eyes turn blue again* "... WHere am I?"
-
Chrono found a hose with a nozzle attached to it, and tightened it around the keg's opening before handing it to the stranger. "Its not as strong as you'd think, the best it can do is a steady stream...no jet or shooting of any kind..."
-
*looks up at Chrono* "..... Who are you?"
-
He turns towards the person who asked him. "I really don't know myself...just my name"
-
"Geez I can sympathize wiht that"
-
"But, unlike you, I remember the one person who helped give me another life, when I couldn't remember anything..." he got on his legs and almost tackled Aidin to the ground. "...and I'll never regret being her bartender..."
-
"Well isn't that sweet" Fang said his eyes welling up with tears
-
Chrono found a hose with a nozzle attached to it, and tightened it around the keg's opening before handing it to the stranger. "Its not as strong as you'd think, the best it can do is a steady stream...no jet or shooting of any kind..."
*using the hose to fill up a tankerd he always carries*
"I dont really care, I'd have it any way you serve it"
Grabbing the tankard and gulping the ale in one swallow, he placed it back on the counter for a refill.
-
Aidin laughed and smiled at Chrono. "You're crazy." A pain shot through her arm. "ah... I think I did something to my elbow." Aidin took her arm and moved it, another agonizing pain shot through her arm. She looked at Chrono and then to a towel on his waist. "Do you mind making that a sling for me?" She asked holding her arm. She sat down at the bar and put the sling on. She hugged Chrono and kissed him on the cheek. "Best get ready. Paolo's party is in about an hour." She stood and walked to the kitchen. "Hey Al! Get cookin!" She walked back out and behind the bar.
-
He looked around, somewhat forgetful. "So...why is there vodka...and what about those two barrels of ale?"
-
"Oh lord... We are preparing for a party, but we ran out of Vodka... So that's why I asked you to retrieve the Ale and the Vodka." Aidin laughed and leaned on the counter. She poured a shot of tequila to kill the pain in her arm. She quickly took it down and put the glass away. "That should hold off for a bit." Aidin walked around from the counter and rolled a barrel of Ale behind the counter. "Can you put this on the Ale table and place the nozzle in it?" She asked, one hand on the barrel.
-
"Oh lord... We are preparing for a party, but we ran out of Vodka... So that's why I asked you to retrieve the Ale and the Vodka." Aidin laughed and leaned on the counter. She poured a shot of tequila to kill the pain in her arm. She quickly took it down and put the glass away. "That should hold off for a bit." Aidin walked around from the counter and rolled a barrel of Ale behind the counter. "Can you put this on the Ale table and place the nozzle in it?" She asked, one hand on the barrel.
"Aldin, why'd you decide to run the bar, I mean there's better places for you then serving ale to schizophrenics and vodka to drunkards."
-
He made a dash to the counter and vaulted over it, quickly grabbing the nozzles, putting them on the barrels, then carrying both of them to the table and setting it up for easy-use. "Done, now what about the Vodka?" he asked after running back and grabbing the two bottles by the neck. "Or is it just for the nutjob who decided to break a bottle?"
-
"That's the reason I asked you to get them," She said, taking the bottles from his grasp. Aidin looked at Phil. "I chose to take over after my parent's passed." She wiped down the counter one last time before she took a seat at the bar. "Why did you start up smoking? You know that crap kills ya." She looked at him and smiled.
-
"True the cancer sticks kill me, but then taking a shot to calm your own nerves isnt doing to well for you either, so you cant complain about me missy... anyways I took up smoking because the 'Nightmares' my family complains about, and what i've had..."
-
"speaking of... things I'll have one shot of Vodka please" said Fang stumbling to his feet
-
Chrono pushed him back down. "No, until you can stand on your own two feet without stumbling...don't bother trying to get up..."
-
Aidin looked at Chrono. "Come on... Let the guy up. Better yet, help him up." She shook her head and looked back at Phil. "This shot was to kill the pain..."
-
He looked at Aidin with a pouty face. "But if he gets more vodka...I'll feel responsible if he does something increadibly stupid..."
-
"Oh don't worry about it. He won't be touching Vodka. Because he'll be in the kitchen... Helping Al." Aidin smirked looking at Fang.
-
He then gave her a further confused look. "Then whats the vodka for?!"
-
"For the party to twit!" She rolled her eyes. "I don't know what I'm going to do with you Chrono..." She walked over to him and pat him on the back and walked down to the cellar.
-
Aidin looked at Chrono. "Come on... Let the guy up. Better yet, help him up." She shook her head and looked back at Phil. "This shot was to kill the pain..."
"And you say me using cigarettes to clear up the pain is a bad thing too.. you take shots, I smoke...."
-
"Smoking is worse..." She said walking up the cellar steps. "I just think you should quit. I don't need to lose my life long friend because of cancer." She set down three bottles of Nuvo and leaned on the counter.
-
"Smoking is worse..." She said walking up the cellar steps. "I just think you should quit. I don't need to lose my life long friend because of cancer." She set down three bottles of Nuvo and leaned on the counter.
"At least I needn't worry about liver disease, which is just as bad" "Anyways I just came for a drink, not a lecture on how to live my life"
-
"I know.. I assumed that's what you came to do. What would you like?" She asked looking at him and then the shelves behind her.
-
"Your most potent stuff"
-
Aidin smiled and grabbed a martini glass. She took one of the Nuvo bottles and poured it. "It may look sissy but Its got a nice burn." She said placing it in front of him.
-
I'll have one" said Fang leaning against a nearby bar stool *looks at Chrono* "and you stay ou tof it this time"
-
((can i join in?))
-
((Just PM me with your information ^_^ ))
Aidin looked at Fang. "You should be in the kitchen helping Al. You have a drinking problem and I don't need you waltzing about the party." She said. She took out a glass and poured some Nuvo. "Here, but that's all for now. I can't give you too much."
-
"Kitchen? Helping? I thought this was a 4 start hotel..." *downs nuvo*
-
"It's not a hotel... It's a pub. And you're just going to be back there to stay away from the alcohol." She eyed his glass. "That's enough for you..." Aidin took his glass and put it away.
-
"I'm a paying customer and it's my right to.....What were we talking about again?"
-
Aidin slammed her head on the counter and pointed at the kitchen. "Either you work there or you stay outside. You have a drinking problem!" She said, her voice a bit muffled.
-
"I have a drinking problem?! Well I say you have a gambling problem!"
-
"Excuse me?" Aidin asked lifting her head. "I don't have a gambling problem! I've never gambled in my LIFE!" She said, her tone getting angry.
-
"Ah denial denail. Besides how would you know I have a drinking problem? I've known you for *does sums with fingers* seven minutes"
-
"Yes, and the whole time I've known you, you've been drunk, and you haven't STOPPED drinking..." Aidin looked at him, her face blank.
-
"Helothere barkeep one vodka please"
-
Downing his very potent Nuvo, and shaking at it's unexpected power, ge grabs Fang by the shit collar and drags him outside.
"If the lady says to stay out or work you listen!"
"Anyways Aldin thanks for the drinks... here's the money"
Taking out his wallet, he drops 50 dollars, much more then he needed to pay.
-
"Why so much money? You only owe like 5 bucks." She looked at him and smiled. Aidin looked back at the door. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore. Chrono can remember a thing and now this guy can't. I'm gonna go insane."
-
"Well since your my friend so i decided to pay 45 dollars more"
-
Aidin smiled and took the money. "Thanks Phil." She put the money away and walked back to the counter.
-
((would it be ok if i joined in?))
-
((just Message me with your information and then you can join))
-
Chrono felt somewhat insulted even though it was the truth. "Hey, I know we got a party later on...now is the ale and vodka it...or should I get some lager or other brew?"
-
"Get the best lager we have." Aidin looked at him. Her saddened, apologetically flickering. She smiled weakly and walked to him. "I'll help you."
-
Chrono held out his palm to show his refusal. "Look, my memory caused you enough problems...just let me handle it...I know the layout of the bar Aidin" he said before heading back down to the cellar and getting the lager...
-
Aidin stopped and frowned. "Damn it, Chrono... I didn't mean to say it like that..." She said following him down into the cellar.
-
He grabbed the lager and suddenly his eyes changed. "I....remember....oh man....I'm sorry....I'm so...so sorry" He put down the lager as he started to go into a loop, apparently apologizing to someone that isn't actually in the room.
-
"Chrono? Are you alright?" She asked, her eyes down.
-
He looked up at Aidin when he heard her, and when their eyes locked, feelings of immense sadness and regret just pour into her before he looks back down. "I'm sorry, so so sorry!"
-
Aidin sat down on the step, her eyes welled up with tears. One trickled down her face as she quickly wiped it away.
-
His demeanor became sadder when the memory he was re-living changed. "Please, stop crying...I won't do it again, just stop!"
-
"Ugh..." *vomits* "Guys I din't feel so good" *passes out*
-
Aidin wiped away the tears. She faced him with sad eyes. The crystal blue, now a bit of a deeper blue. She continued to sit on the step, not making a move.
-
The sunlight slowly strecthed across the valley, its pallid yellow light illuminating a small town amongst the large beach woods around... Kistrev took a deep breath, smiling at the view, he was finally somewhere where he may settle down... the town was not too large, and situated in the country, yet not a small backwater village... it had shops, plenty of space for small housing.... and best of all a tavern! Kistrev set of at a fast walk at the thought of a warm tavern to set his feet up, lugging his large rucksack with him he walked down the road, shielding his eyes with his flatp-cap he walked through the town, it was largely deserted, strangely quiet... but Kistrev liked it, it was soothing and comforting after his years on builders sites.... He turned the corner too the only tavern in the town, his rucksack slipped off his shoulder and he swore loudly as it crashed onto the ground, he saw two people sitting on the step ahead, which only made him blush as he attempted to pick the rucksack back up again from its new home on the road...
-
Aidin stood and halfheartedly smiled. "We'll talk later..." She made her way through the pub, that was becoming quite crowded from the party that is to be happening soon. She walked out of the tavern and saw a feline. She smiled warmly and jogged over to him. "Hello, haven't seen you around these parts. Are you new?" She asked helping him with the sack.
-
Kistrev smiled as Someone jogged over and helped him heft the ruckasack onto his back.. "no, im from up north... i came wondering about settling down"... he looked over her shoulder into the crowded pub.. "room for another in your party?" he smiled at her warmly standing back up straight... "the names Kistrev, and who would i have the good fortune to be talking to?"
-
Aidin smiled and laughed. "Of course. And I'm Aidin Lohr. I own the Tavern." She looked back at it then at Kistrev. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Come on. You look thirsty."
-
Fang is dimly aware of hissurroundings as he looked up at Aidin and Kistrev "WHere am I?... ANyone?"
-
"You're at the pub smarts..." Aidin said looking at him. She looked at Kistrev. "This is Fang."
-
"And this is... Me" *Fang looked around confused before staring at Kistrev* "Are you Fang?"
-
"How do you do, the name is Phil!" he started, extending his hand to the one known as Kistrev.
-
Aidin hit her forehead with her hand. "No... This is Kistrev. I was telling him who you were."
-
"So you're Fang?" He said looking at Aidin extending his hand "Could you maybe help me up Fang?"
-
Aidin slapped him. "I'm Aidin you dolt. You are Fang!" She sighed, almost growling.
-
Fang's head smacked of the wall as Aidin's palm collided with his face "... Ouch" he said as some blood trickled down the side of his head "Well... Aiden could you help me up?"
-
Aidin helped Fang up and dusted him off. "Sorry if I hit you too hard."
-
It's okay my nerves are blunted anyway... So em.. What are we doing?
-
"Kistrev and I were going to go back into the tavern to get a drink..." Aidin said looking at Fang, then Kistrev and motioning to the Pub.
-
Great! I'll pace myself though.... A beer should do me
-
"Good idea," Aidin said smiling. She slowly started to walk to the pub. She patiently waited for the two to follow her.
-
Fang stumbled and sat down at the barstool "Right then" he muttered before starting to sip on his beer
-
*Kistrev seemed to be shaking peoples hands left right and centre.... really this was a good first impression for a town, somewhere he felt he could settle down and sort out a house.... He walked into the bar with Aidin giving a short whistle as he tilted his flatcap back to look up at the masonry, being a builder he knew when a building had been built with love, and this place oozed it from every brick and doorway... he sat down on one of the stool, dropping his heavy bag beside him* "so youre the owner then?" *he looked up at Aidin as she passed him to the bar*
-
"Hey! Cat man! Come and sit next to me we can talk" said Fang in an attempt to be friendly "My name's... erm Fang and I'm.... the... the guy!" he said putting a friendly arm around Kistrev
-
"Oh dear.." Aidin said under her breath. "Yes... I inherited it from my parents." She smiled and got out a pint glass for Kistrev. "So what would you like?" A large burly bear ambled over. "Hey Paolo. How's it goin?" Aidin smiled happily. Paolo held back an ale belch and smiled. "It's goin! Where is Haggis! I thought he'd be here." Paolo looked around. "Haggis will be here soon. He's always around when beer is," She chuckled. "Oh.. There. He's over there talking to Karena." She pointed to a Scotsman, another burly looking bear, who was in a deep conversation with a small deer. "Go have fun!" She nudged Paolo away and looked back at Kistrev. "So what will ya be havin?"
-
*Kistrev made a small face, almost sub-consciously* "never like beer too much", *he looked over the back shelves of liquors and spirits, most where unusual and unknown to him... having come from slovakia he was used to the slavic spirits and palenky* "uh, you see... im not from round here at all.... europe in fact, sooo... i'l have whatever you think will give me the best impression of this town here... *he smiled at her hoping she understood... he looked round at fang* "so your the guy then? nooo, not the famous guy? you know? you!" *he tipped Aidin a wink as he talked with Fang*
-
Aidin laughed and grabbed some Nuvo. "This is some strong stuff. It's a bit stronger than some vodka. Imported from France actually." She poured him a glass and set it down in front of him. "I'll be right back. Have fun with.. The Guy." She laughed and went to the kitchen. "Hey Al! Get those ordervs out there!" She went back behind the bar and looked at Fang. "You bumped your head too many times."
-
*Kistrev watched her pour the glass* "Nuvo, now theres a spirit i know!" *he drank a mouthfull, letting it pool on his tongue, marvelling at the warmth and surprising strength of it*... "you ever tried Nuvo Sparkling Cosmo? two parts Nuvo, one part premium Vodka ?" *he smiled up at her, taking another mouthfull slowly the warmth had already spread from his throught and stomach to his arms and legs... strong stuff indeed...* "ive grown up with some stuff that could turn you blind, so im glad to drink somthing thats less dangerous and nicer.."
-
You say you're from Europe? I could've sworn I was from... Oh well maybe it'll come back to me soon. Say you don't have any absinthe do you?" He directed at Aidin
-
"Absinthe? Not sure..." She turned and looked at lit up, glass shelves. She spotted the green bottle and reached for it. "Here we are... I knew we had it." She poured him a glass and put it in front of him.
((If anyone is wondering, the bar looks like this: http://www.onthesnow.com/ots/images_u/dp/120_21037_dp.jpg_p.jpg ))
-
"mmm, im sure it will Fang" *Kistrev pulled out a hipflask of slivovica and poured in a good swig into the Nuvo... taking a mouthfull he let it slide down his throat and over his tongue, he sighed deeply taking in a long breath...*
((nice bar... and slivovica is a palenka, or slavic spirit made of distilate and plums.... (http://www.vanapo.sk/img/produkty/royal/prava_makovicka_slivovica.jpg) ))
-
Aidin took a short glass, filled it with ice and poured Nuvo for herself. She then cut a slice of a lemon and put it on the side. She drank some and looked back at Kistrev. "So what are you doin' here in Bliss?" She asked, keeping the old name of the town.
((this is nuvo: http://local.content.compendiumblog.com/uploads/user/851c0ba1-a380-102a-ac6d-e4aebca50425/1fa55b41-a383-102a-ac6d-e4aebca50425/Nuvo%20picture.jpg ))
-
me? *kistrev looked round at her in mock surprise* im hoping to settle down somewhere, ive made my money working my paws off... and now i want to live somewhere with my own roof, and my own friends... *Kistrev was unaware of any name for the town other than bliss as this was what was marked on the map...* i worked as a builder and in the fields in slovakia... hoping to build myself a place where i can live out the rest of my life... *Kistrev nocked his hip-flask off the bar top, however much to his surprise as everyone elses it didnt even spill a drop as he caught it only inches from the ground...*
-
"Well.. There are plenty of homes. And lots to build upon. I hope you stay, I think you'd like it here." Aidin smiled and took another sip from her drink. She looked at Kistrev again. "Do you want a little tour of the town?" She asked, hoping to get out of the Pub for a little.
-
sure... i'd like to see a bit more of bliss.. *he downed the rest of the Nuvo as they did in slovakia... with one large gulp and a shout of "SERVUS!" he blinked rapdily as the liquor burned its way down his throat and hefted his bag onto his back, his balance only slightly affected by the mix of nuvo and slivovica....*
-
Aidin smiled and hopped over the counter. "I'll be right back Al!" She shouted into the kitchen. She made her way to the door and walked out to the street. Her hair blew as a fall wind picked up. "It's a bit chilly. Aint it?" She went back inside and grabbed her scarf. "Ah, That's better." She looked at Kistrev. "You can leave your pack here. No one will take it." She smiled at him.
-
*Kistrev seemed unwilling to part even for a while with his pack... but then put it down next to the bar as she smiled...he pulled his flatcap down against the slight wind and huddled into his jacket..* lets go?
-
"What's that Aidin do I want a tour? No you two just go but it was nice of you to ask" Fang said sarcastically before grabbing a bottle of NUVO to himself
-
A large 'boom' goes off in the cellar, then a few moments later, Chrono comes back up with lager, acting like he did as usual... "Aw...you started the party without me?...I just got the lager!"
-
"Aiden's taken some guy for a tour but I'd happily help you with that ale" Fang motioned for Chrono to sit next to him
-
He quickly dropped the lager and bolted towards Fang. "Where and how long ago....wait, you can't help me" he ran out the door, and also not realizing he has no idea of the city lay-out, he gets lost trying to find Aidin.
He later ends up in an alleyway and thinking he sees a figure similar to Aidin, he walks towards her in concern until the figure turns around, and she looks nothing like Aidin, not even remotley like a wolf. "Um...can you he-" he stopped when he heard music being played from a box the female held. He started to stagger while his mind started to gradually shut-down, then soon nothing but black was there for him to see...
-
Fang bolted away in pursuit of Chrono but he was too fast
******
"ugh I knew I shouldn't have followed him now I'm lost* said Fang as the sound of ominous music filled the air and as he rounded the corner he saw the unconscious Chrono before passing out
-
Aidin spotted a large wolf drop. She rushed over and noticed it was Chrono. "What the hell did you do?!" She shrieked at the woman holding the box. She looked at the woman who had an elderly feels to her but appeared young. Aidin knelt down next to him and cradled his head. "Chrono?" She said looking at him, her eyes searching his face.
-
is dreaming...
-
Chrono seemed to be either in the middle of a rather nice dream, or really relaxed as he had a grin on his face while nuzzling his head into Aidin's arms while asleep. The woman in the alley smiled, a young-sounding voice betraying her looks. "Good, he still has dreams...." she said before vanishing into the alley, her scent and presence untraceable.
-
Rolls over face first into a muddy puddle as the blood seeping from his mouth mixed with the muddy water turning it a rich burgandy
-
Aidin growled as the woman disappeared. She smiled when she looked at Chrono. She leaned down and whispered into his ear. "Wake up dreaming one. The sun is up..." Her voice was calm and soothing, almost seductive. Her eyes lit up blue then quickly faded.
-
((must be invisible since he's lying next to Chrono drowning in a puddle of mud and blood)
-
((you randomly bleed and pass out a lot... care to explain why?))
Aidin looked over at Fang and shook her head. "I don't understand you." She nuzzled Chrono's cheek then focused on Fang. "Wake up dreaming one... Your time has come." Her eyes flickered blue again.
-
((prolly coz my charcter's been steaming drunk for like ten hours))
-
((Not my fault you drink vodka....))
He started to wake up and the first thing he saw was Aidin with unsusually blue eyes. "Now I don't see that everyday, but then again...neither do I wake up in your arms...where are we?"
-
*rolls over and wakes up* "Am I bleeding!?! Man I need to stay off the booze" *looks at Chrono* "WHo was the weird music lady?"
-
"In time we'll discuss who that was..." She looked at Chrono and smiled. "It's an unusual gift I have developed, and We're in the town." She smiled warmly and hugged him.
-
"Aw thanks for the hug" *is hugging a trashcan placed next to Aidin*
-
"Uh... alright then... You need to stay away from the booze." She stood and held her hand out to Chrono.
-
"See Chrono I think what she's trying todo is help you up... She is right?"
-
"Aidin...I can faintly remember this place being called 'Nightmare Ville'...is there a monster going around, or....what was I talking about, oh the party!!" he shot straight up and almost jumped off the ground. "Wheres the pub?!"
-
"relax.. and yes this is Nightmare Ville. I'll tell you the story later." She began to walk towards the pub. "Come on Kistrev. Back to the party we go. I'll show you around later."
-
"Nightmare Ville? I must be hallucinating again... You guys go to the pub and I'll stop having a nightmare"
-
"You aren't having a nightmare... It's true. I try to ignore the fact but I just can't hide the truth anymore." She looked at the ground and sighed. She ambled down the street, her tail swaying gently.
-
Chrono was right behind her. "What truth...its okay to tell me, I'll probably forget as soon as we reach the bar" he looked at her with his rather silly attempt at a reassuring smile.
-
Awwwwww don't be sad *puts arm round Aidin* This isn't really happening you're just the orange lady in my dreams you'll be much happier when I wake up
-
Awwwwww don't be sad *puts arm round Aidin* This isn't really happening you're just the orange lady in my dreams you'll be much happier when I wake up
Chrono tenses up for a moment before kicking Fang in the ribs. "You are too drunk to be friendly...go to sleep!"
-
Hey what was that for *swings for Chrono's face*
-
Aidin looked at them both and shouted, "Stop it!" Her eyes lit up intensely. "That's enough..." She stood between them and continued walking. "I'll tell you tonight after the party Chrono."
-
*eyes turn red and is growling* Do that again and I will end you >:(
-
He looks at Lone and snorts. "Fine, but I'm kicking him out if he decides to get drunk like that again..."
-
As if you'lle even remember it! Fang cruelly taunted> He gets quite spiteful when his eyyes are red
-
Aidin growled and snapped at the two of them. "Did you not hear me? Was I not speaking English!?" She asked angrily. Her eyes still illuminated intensely. She bared her teeth. The image of the strange woman played in her mind over and over.
-
The eyes seemed to knock all the fight from him as he quickly gets close and almost shivers. "Sorry, I'll try to leave him alone"
-
"Good. Now lets go." She walked into the pub and went behind the counter.
-
"Right sorry" *Fang cast a disgusted look at Chrono his eyes still red*
-
Aidin poured herself a glass of Nuvo and gulped it down.
-
*Fang sat down at the bar and looked at Aidin* So. Why do they call this place Nightmareville?
-
Aidin poured herself a glass of Nuvo and gulped it down.
"You need to take it slow on the Nuvo sister..."
-
She laughed and looked at Fang. "Later... not around all these people."
-
She laughed and looked at Fang. "Later... not around all these people."
"Oh please Al' I know the story as well as you do... after all it's affected all of us"
-
Well I really think you should tell me since I was told the town was called bliss
-
"I'll tell you when the others leave," She growled.
-
"I'll tell you when the others leave," She growled.
"O why do you want me to leave.. it's not like i'll make anything worse, heck i'll tell it to the drunkard if you want me too"
-
"No... I meant the party guests. They tend to not want to be reminded..." She looked at him then at everyone else.
-
Well I can't sleep because I don't have a bed! I can't drink because I'm steaming and I've lost my pills so I can't sleep! So what am I supposed to do!?!" shouted Fang
"Oh and I'm really really angry!" said Fang pointing to his gore red eyes
-
"Who wants more alchohol?!" Chrono yelled as he got a barrel of each brew lined up on the counter, the party-goers cheering and heading straight to their favorite tap.
-
Aidin shut her eyes and clenched her teeth. Her hand flew up and across his face. "Shut it.. Just shut it!" She whispered loudly, pulling him by his collar.
-
GRRRRRRRRRRRR was the only reply Fang could muster the anger boiling up inside him before he grabs Aidin's hand "LET GO OF ME!!!!"
-
Aidin Growled and picked him up. "That's it!" She threw him outside and followed. "Lets go!" She put her hands up in defense. Her eyes glowing again. "You're starting to REALLY piss me off!" She bared her teeth and waited for him to ready himself.
-
Fang pickedhimself up and just stood there shaking with rage "I really think you should go back inside" he said constraining himself
-
"Come on! You think your angry?!" She yelled getting up in his face. Her fangs grew slightly, her eyes intensely illuminated. She snapped at him and walked away. "You're pathetic." She pushed past Chrono, who was standing in the doorway.
-
Lone clecnhed his heart as it was beating faster and faster "I've gotta find my pills" he said dropping to the ground and frantically searching for them
-
Aidin spotted his pills under the bar and tossed them next to him.
-
Chrono looked at Aidin. He immedeatly takes all the taps off and puts the barrels away, which leads to some drunks heaving a few nasty words at him. "If the owner of the pub is not well, nobody is getting anything...understood?" nobody had to look at him to see how angry he was, but they moved outside and started to leave the pub in a relativly clean state. "Now to clean this place up..."
-
Fang desperately opened the bottle and popped one in his mouth "Now I've just got to wait for affect to kick in... and somewhere safe to sleep before they make me drowsy he said wondering off offering a middle finger to Chrono and Aidin
-
Aidin turned around at his profanity and jumped on him. She hit him once more then pinned him against a wall. "You don't understand... DO YOU!? You're stuck here! You're never leaving! And every night you're faced with life or death!" She shouted in his face.
-
Chrono finished cleaning and walked outside, prying Aidin off of Fang and closing the bar door. "Tell me what the deal is with Nightmare Ville before I forget yet again, forget about him and focus on me for once..."
-
*whether it was the pills taking effect or the realization of what Aidin just said the red began draining from Fang's eyes* ".... Huh?"
-
"Although I hate to admit it Fang was correct, this place is still Bliss, however on one unfortunate Hallow's Eve, a wicked enchantress cast a curse on the town, anyone who sleeps within the aura of the curse, has terrible terrible nightmares, some people dont wake from." Phil said walking outside
-
Aidin looked at Chrono. "Nightmare Ville was cursed centuries ago... And if a nightmare occurs, then what ever happened, come to life..." She looked at him then continued. "And those who come here... can never leave." She looked at him angered and saddened.
-
"Never leave? Just watch me" Fang said slowly walking into the distance
-
"So essentially this town is a living hell when asleep, and a party palace during the day.. what happens to the people, is unique to the person..."
Watching Fang leave, Phil says "I give him 2 minutes before the curse takes effect"
-
"It's superstition you're all crazy!" Fang shouted getting further in the distance
-
Suddenly Fang's surrounding change as the town reappears the further he walks.
((uh.. I'm gonna be narrating.))
Aidin laughed and looked at Chrono. "Do you understand now?" She looked around at the pub.
-
He started to look forgetful, but shaked his head. "Look, I don't know how I can keep this up...but never bring up the name of this town near me for awhile..." he took a deep breath, his features showing a wince. "Also, see if you can find any records of the name Tyrus J., and show them to me when I get like this again"
-
Fang doesn't see the barrier and keeps walking and suddenly stops dropping to his knees in the middle of the street "I did it I'm out hahahaha who's crazy noooooooow" he said laughing maniacally "I'm out I'm out I'm out ahahahahaaha!!!!"
-
(since Gabag isnt allowed to narrate, you just got warped back to town, sorry)
"As I said, 2 minutes"
-
Aidin looked at him oddly. "Is everything alright?"
-
"Guys y we're all out!" He continued ranting in the middle of the road rocking back and forth "We're all goin to France!!!" he said sticking his arms out to represent plane wings "We're allmost in France!!! hahahaha" he continued to rant losing all shreds of sanity
-
"I believe Mr. Insanity here is saying"
"We're all screwed there's no hope for me, so just give me lots of beer and ill pay more then the origional pricing"
-
"hahahahahahahahahahaha WE'RE OUT GUYS WE'RE OUT!!!!!!" he said now curled up in a ball
-
Aidin tossed a rock at him, hitting him in the head. "That'll keep him quiet for a bit..."
-
He shook his head more violently, apparently trying to ward off whatever is making him forgetful. "No, I'm forgetting my past every ten seconds, I just now regained a shard of it, someone doesn't want me to remember the name I just told you, now write it down, and never show it to me until I come back" He took a quick breath, and then pecked Aidin on the cheek before continuing "I'm sorry I kept forgetting about saying this, but I really enjoy being with you, even when you are violent" he let out a growl of pain as the feeling returned, just barely getting pushed away again.
-
we're experinecing turbulence! Fang shrieked before the pills had made him sufficiently drowsy and he lulled off to sleep
-
Aidin looked at him shocked. "Alright... I enjoy being around you too."
-
tosses around peaccefully letting out an insane laugh every now and then
-
He almost fell on her at the end of the growl. "Man this is getting annoying, I'll write it down for you..." he wrote down the name on a napkin and handed it to Aidin. "That musicbox...its...gah!" he fell sideways towards the ground, then got back up a few moments later and looked around. "...Did I fall asleep on the job again?"
-
*Is having a nightmare* "No must wake up" however Fang did muster the will to shoot "WAke me up!" into the real world as the nightmare was slowly beginning
-
Kistrev had ben listening to the whole ordeal quietly, slowly taking mouthfulls from his hipflask.... he didnt seem to bothered by the whole curse and life or death thing and walked over to Aidin... "so, when does the curse kick in?" He took another swig before putting the hip flask away....
-
Aidin saw Fang lashing about. "Damn it! This guy is not allowed to sleep!" She ran over and hit his face again. She then illuminated her eyes and whispered in his ear. "Wake up dreamer. Or you may never wake up at all. Don't be afraid to open up. The night is near and the closer is fear. Wake up dreamer." Her eyes dimmed as she stood.
-
He lounged against the wall watching Aidin trying to wake fang, he yawned and looked up at the sun and the lowclouds scudding across the sky.....
"so..... when does this curse like take affect?... and is there any way to wake?"
-
Chrono looked at the other new-comer "I can't remember the exact details, but she said it only takes effect if you try to leave, or if you have a nightmare...otherwise its just a normal dream...whatever shes talking about" He heads behind the counter, and opens a hidden door for his gourd of sake, which he uncorks and drinks before putting it away.
-
well personally there is nothing to worry about.... we're all stuck here and thats that by the sound of it.... *Kistrev sat down on the bar stool and looked over at the other..* sooo, i dont think we where properly introduced... my names Kistrev, and yours? *he looked quizikly at the other behind the counter, absent mindedly playing around with a cutlery knife, spinning and twirling it waiting for a reply..*
-
Aidin sighed and looked at Kistrev. "You can't leave... and If a nightmare occurs and you watch the results of it, the end of the nightmare, then what ever happened... actually occurs."
-
right.... well, whats going on with the celebrations? *he gestured to all the hangings and alcohol, set out and ready for a rowdy group of people to turn up*
-
"No one really puts any thought to where and how we live. We push past it and remain what used to be before the enchantress ruined our future," She said smiling at the large parties around.
-
well why should it? this place is still called bliss on my map, and bliss is where i want to live... *he crossed his arms looking up at her from the bar stool*
-
*stumbles into the pub with clothing ripped to shreads still looking at my new furry paws and as I am halfway to the main bar table I lose my balance and fall down to the ground dazed and confused*
-
((moon, have you posted your character in the ooc thread? its not my rp, so i cant say your in.....))
-
((my bad i shall post character info now))
-
"Names Chrono, i'm the bartender here, but don't be surprised if I forget you...." he starts cleaning mugs and putting them away, and after a few minutes, starts humming a tune that was very familiar to the music box, but without the side-effects. His cloak (in case anyone forgot he was wearing it the entire time) started to give off a soft teal glow, but the lights in the bar kept it hidden until close inspection.
-
*sits at the bar table quietly still feeling faint* ummmm got anything that will wake me up?
-
*wakes up dozily* " yawn Hi guys! What's up?"
-
*lost in thought looks at my torn clothes and still cant believe that the rumors were true, nightmares do come true here*
-
Aidin runs out of the kitchen. "Some one call the doctor or something. Al just severely burned himself." She looked at Chrono immediately.
-
He sighed and put the pint down, the glow disappearing from his cloak. "Well, if you can give me a map...I could get the doctor.." he walked around the counter and went to grab and ice pack, filling it and handing it to Al "This'll help lessen the pain while we get a doctor here to help with the burn..."
-
Aidin nodded. "How about I just come with you then." She looked at Al. "Will you be alright until we get back?" She asked her ears down slightly. "Of course Ma'am." He nodded to her and sat at the bar.
-
He walked back to Aidin and smiled, gesturing towards the door. "Lead the way, Miss Aidin"
-
Aidin smiled and walked out the door. "He isn't too far from here," She said walking down the cobblestone road.
-
He followed her out and while walking with her, looked around while whistling the music box tune. There were few people on the street, and the ones who were on the street, were either drunk, homeless, or have a mental illness preventing them from sleeping.
-
"Please stop whistling that tune... It makes me feel uncomfortable."
-
He quickly stopped, but then immdeatly started to think about it. "I thought it sounded rather calming...although I don't remember where I heard it from, I probably had a music box at some point...but its not in the room upstairs" He continued walking until a rather tipsy female chameleon tumbled into him and held on. "Oh....hello there wolf-boy, whats up?" Chrono just stared at her and stiffened up "Who are you and why are you this close?"
-
"An odd woman held it... it caused you to pass out." She looked at the chameleon and growled. "Scat!" She shouted. The female looked at her and let go of Chrono. Aidin continued walking down the road, silently.
-
He shaked off the uneasiness of the confrontation, and walked closer to Aidin. "I didn't ask to come over, honest!" he said, trying to defend himself. The road seemed empty now save for the two walking down it at that very moment, but feral owls and the occasional wind kept it from being eerily silent.
-
"I'm sorry for being tense. I just don't like this time of year." She looked at Chrono apologetically.
-
"Well, she was just had a little too much...but whats so important about this time of the year?" he occasionally looked back, and saw the chameleon girl leaning against the wall, still looking at him, and smiled when they made eye contact. "I don't think you scared her enough..."
-
*after drinking my drink a weird urge to howl explodes inside me and I raise my head and howl instinctively*ARROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!*as i lower my head I look and see everyone staring at me and I turn away embarrassed*
-
*Kistrev suppresed a laugh as the wolf howled, he wasnt spitefull, or instinctivly mean.... taking another swig from his hip flask he walked over to the bar and sat down next to the wolf... * hey... the names Kistrev... and who would i have the pleasure of meeting?
-
*looks back at the figure and replies* ummmm josh
-
*Kistrev took another swig from his hip flask...* so... Josh... what you doing round here then? you live here?
-
Well you see I don't live around here, I came to see if the rumors of this place were true and well.....I see that they are
-
hmmm..... so i see.... well seeing as we are most definatly stuck here what do you plan to do? *Kistrev took another swig waiting for a reply*
-
*thinks for a moment* I don't know, what is there to do around here?
-
well i dont know precisely as ive only just moved in.... but i suppose you could either wallow in self pity and alcohol.... or you can come outside and take a walk and some fresh air while i look for a place to build my house.... either is fine with me of course... *he stood up and watched the obviously confused wolf*
-
Ill take a walk with ya..Oh and while we are out can we stop by a clothing store, the clothes i have on are torn to shreds.
-
*Kistrev looked down at Josh's torn clothes* that you can.... *he stepped out onto the street and took a deep breath* i think the centre is this way... god i need to find out where everything is if im going to be living here..
-
*Fang walked over to Kistrev and Josh slightly delirious and still convinced he'se in France* "Bonjour missuers! Baguet?" he said offering the two an imaginary baguet before laughing to himself
-
*whispers to kistrev* I think that this guy has a screw loose or something....
-
Screw loose? No but some came off the plane due to turbulence ((if you're wondering why I'm crazy check a few pages back ;)))
-
"Hey guys I'm goin go to sleep... night ya'll" Phil called, exhaustion taking him down an he falls asleep on a pile o' hay.
-
Hey wait you should try this bagguette befor eyou sleep! *shouted Fang at Phil*
-
*Kistrev took fang by the shoulders... * its alright... here i'l have the baguette, and you can come and take a walk with us ok? a tour de france if you wish! *he winked at josh behind fangs back* Anyway.. josh, youre looking for a clothes shop right? il shout if i see one...
-
Rowan turned to the Chameleon and barked at her. Her teeth bared, her fur standing on end. Her eyes lit up blue. The female's eyes widened as she turned and scurried away. "You were saying?" She turned back around and continued walking. "It's getting close to all hallows eve." She looked at Chrono hoping he would remember at least a little.
-
*starts convulsing and foaming at the mouth in the real world*
*in the dream world*
"Had enough Phil...." said his silent and unknown tormentor, he wasnt the only one being tormented by this man, for another dreamer was with him. Phil was shackled with heavy irn chains, and steam was rising from his body, due to the fact of a high voltage shock that enveloped him recently..
-
"You mean the day when I lost pratically everything of my past...oh, and that enchantress lady too?" he tried to avoid saying 'I really don't know', so he came up with whatever went into his head.
-
"Exactly..." She looked at him. An urge built up inside her. She leaned into him and kissed him gently then pulled away. "Sorry..." She walked away quickly.
-
A tour of France? Great! Here have the baguette!
-
*smells the baguette and finds that bread dosn't appetize me anymore* ill pass*stomach rumbles* but I really could use something to eat...something meaty.
-
He felt a little dazed after getting kissed, then quickly caught up with Aidin and grabbed her around the shoulders. "Don't just do that for a split second and walk off...what would you think If I tried to avoid you after kissing?"
-
"I would understand..." she looked at him and smiled weakly.
-
"good.." he returned the kiss, then immedeatly walked back to the bar, retracing his steps. He stopped half-way down the street, then walked back to Aidin "I forgot where the bar was again..."
-
Aidin smiled and walked next to him, her tail occasionally brushing him. "Come on... This way."
-
His tail automatically wrapped around hers as he kept pace. "Um, Aidin...what would you do if you were in my situation, having no memories of your past, barely remembering your name..and only be able to remember one person out of everyone you possibly met?"
-
"I'd try to do as much I could to remember things... Like write down events that happen. I'd keep a journal of some sort." She looked at him then grabbed his hand.
-
he tensed when he felt her hand grab his own, his emotions almost making him forget "What if you suddenly remember everything at random times, and the emotions attached to it are too much?"
-
"Then let them flow... I'll take you some place to them all out... No one will know about it." She smiled, her fingers entwined with his.
-
Chrono tensed further, but then his mind went back to the present. "Wait, where are we going again?"
-
"The pub..." She shook her head and continued walking.
-
His eyes shooting open, and the smell of burnt flesh and hair on the air, probably from his charred body, Phil stumbles into the pub and plops down in a seat, a trembling hand reaching into his pocket.
-
"No, before that...it was something important...gah, stupid memory!" he slams his fist into the wall, almost breaking it in the process.
-
"Chrono... relax... Try to remember but you need to calm down first." She held his fist and kissed it gently. "Relax."
-
(are you guys in the pub or out walking in some random ally?)
Phil's twitching hand, partially from electric shocks, and partially from horror, finally reaches his pack of cancer sticks, and he lights one up. "I probably look like a substance abuser now....."
-
He calmed down and started to think back. "Al...burn....doctor, thats all I can remember" he started panting, since forcing himself to remember puts alot of strain on his mentality.
-
"Oh that's right!" Aidin turned and ran down the street. "Come on Chrono!" She stopped in front of a building and walked inside. "I need a doctor... My chef has been badly injured."
-
(is someone gonna tell me where you are at all?)
-
(down a street, and in front of a doctor's office) He managed to get up to her before almost passing out right on top of her. "Remembering, is surprisingly tiring"
-
The doctor grabbed his back and ran out the door. "Is he alright?" He asked looking back at Aidin and Chrono. "He's badly burned," she replied. She grabbed Chrono and lead the doctor to the Pub.
-
*looks at Phil* "You knon what you need? A baguette! "Fang said handing Phil one of his invisible baguettes
-
"Is this really necessary?!" he said while being pulled to the pud, his heels and calves dragging along the street.
-
Ignoring Fang, Phil walked up to Aldin, twitching involuntarily and smelling like he got burnt badly "Hey doc... you wouldn't mind helping me out too right.....?" Phil asked, slightly out of pain, more so out of what happened.
-
The doctor assisted Al and turned to Aidin. "He can't work for a couple weeks. I'm sorry." And with that he left. "Oh.. what am I going to do?" She said to herself sitting down holding her head.
-
Chrono, thinking absolutely nothing at the moment, walked into the kitchen, and started juggling knives. After five minutes of amusing himself, he started opening cabinets, cookbooks, and various pantries to start cooking. about half an our later, he came out with a bowl of rice, meat, and some kind of sauce. "If Al ain't cooking, then I guess I'll have to fix myself somethin' to eat"
-
"Hello?... Does anyone care that i've had a cattleprod shoved into my chest numerous times at a high voltage?"
Phil asked, now collapsed on the floor.
-
"What can I do, I usually forget how I do things when someone interrupts...I can make you some food if you want" he put another spoonful in his mouth before continuing "Buh 'dats ih"
-
"Maybe you should've taken my baguette... It was magical" said Fang still out of his mind crazy
-
Aidin assists Phil then goes to the Kitchen where Chrono is. "How about you take Al's place while he heals..." she looked at him hoping he would say yes.
-
He finished his bowl then looked at Aidin and smiled "Sure, would you like some curry, I found it in one of Al's books" he nodded towards the steaming pot of rice, ready to be used.
-
"Sure.. Why not?" She responded. She looked around and sat on the counter. "So I take it you can cook well?" She looked at him happily.
-
"Sorry to interupt but is they're somewhere I can sleep? I tthink I've got jetlag"
-
"well, i would say you could sleep over at mine... but i havnt finished building it yet!" *kistrev laughed as he sat down at the bar beside Aidin and the dragon* "but seriously, once im finished building, come over any time, k?"
-
"Either that, or I can follow directions to the letter" he laughed and walked off into the kitchen, coming out minutes later with a bowl of curry, and a pint of ale. "On the house since you are the owner" he said with a smile.
-
*Fang looks at Kistrev* "Yeah... thanks.. yaaaaaawn!" Fang slowly curls up into a ball in the middle of the floor
-
Aidin smiled and took the curry as she began to ingest it quickly. "Wow... This is amazing!" She complimented finishing the bowl.
-
Chrono saw a piece of paper near Aidin and picked it up. After a few moments of looking, his face went from confusion to disbelief, then to grief before he looked at the kitchen. "I think I need to call it a night...." he said before almost bolting up the stairs to the storage room he usually slept in.
-
aidin looked at him oddly. "You alright?" she asked looking at the paper in his hand.
-
Chrono looked back and nodded before continuing up and out of sight. Then the door slammed shut five seconds later. He walked over to a nearby barrel and sat on it, then noticed the music box he kept hidden. He thought it was unusual how it always put him to sleep no matter how stressed he was. But now was not the time to sleep, he needed to straighten his mind out before going to sleep and forgetting what he just went through today.
-
Aidin looked confused but shook it off. "Ok.. whatever." She got up and went behind the bar. She cleaned a dirtied glass and set it down. "Well I'm a bit confused," she said to herself looking around at the empty tavern.
-
He started to calm down until he looked at the paper again. Why is this guy's name over by her, is he a boyfriend, am I cheating on someone?! he balled it up and opened the door, throwing the paper out and didn't even watch fall down the stairs before slamming the door shut again.
-
(i thought this rp was going to have nightmares spring to life to be honest, can this y'know... start happening please?)
-
(i thought this rp was going to have nightmares spring to life to be honest, can this y'know... start happening please?)
(so you wish it, so it shall be :P)
Chrono yet again forgot why he was so sad and got on the pile of straw he calls a bed and forgot to turn on the music box before going to sleep.
-
Rowan put her head on the counter and quickly dosed off to sleep. She opened her eyes just before she fell. "Oh my god..." Rowan looked around and held her head. She ran to the sink and splashed ice water on her face. She ran outside to make sure everything was in place. A black cat ran down the lantern lit street. She took a deep breath and let out a sigh. She went back inside and sat at the bar.
-
Already fallen asleep, Phil was on another road to pain
(in the dream world)
"Welcome back Phil.... I was expecting you..."
said an unknown, but apparently evil figure
"Round two" muttered Phil who had dreamt up a knife
-
*Kistrev saw Rowan walk back into the bar, he gave a big yawn as he waved to her* god ahm, *yawn* tired.... dun think ive slept since i *yawn* travelled here... *He stood up from the bar and attempted to stagger out of the bar, not really even sure where he was going as construction on his house hadnt yet started...*
-
Fang began tossing and turning in his sleep trying to think happy thoughts...
-
Rowan looked around at everyone sleeping. "This is not going to be a fun day," she said aloud looking at the clock hanging above the alcohol rack.
-
Chrono started to whimper as his nightmare began. It started out him walking through a street, his vision blurred by the dream-like scenery. He then walked into an alleyway and saw the same figure that held the music box, although he couldn't recognize her in the dream. He then felt a flash of pain spread through his whole body, he looked at his hands as his fur turned completely black, his claws grew, and there was a red outline all around him. He then immdeatly walked out the alleyway and let out a howl before his body lept at some nearby villager and starting to rend him.
Outside the bar, screams and the usual noises of a panic could be heard through the entire village.
-
wassat? *Kistrev turned to Rowan as she spoke aloud, before collapsing from exhaustion on his large rucksack....*
-
Rowan looked around and put her head back down.
-
[dream]
hey ya little slav! get back to your own country! *some hooded furs where shoving kitt, slamming him down in the tarmac, they spat and tore at him with claws.. slamming his face into the dirt again he could feel bleeding down the side of his face, heavy bruises blossoming across his cheek like stains of dark blood.... whimpering he staggered to his feet only to be shoved up against the wall* you ******* foriegners disgust me! just leave and die you ************! *Kitt let out a meowl of pain as one of the furs pulled back on his ears before slamming his face back into the concrete wall, as he did so the furs hood slipped back.... he was a canine, dark fangs, grey fur... the others pulled back theyre hoods... all the same... he whined before they pulled him to the ground and kicked him repeatedly in the face*
[dream]
-
(dream)
Fang was standing in front of the Eiffel tower "Oh... I thought I wasn't crazy anymore... meh" he said as he ran up and the strange music from the strange figure filled his ears as a strange figure weilding a halberd appeared in front of the tower "Tickets please!" it said ".... I'm confused" said Fang before the halberd went into his stomach
(real world) Fang staggered up muttering something about crazy before pulling out the sharpest nearby knife and plunging it into it's stomach
((Kistrev where the hoodies in real life or dream?))
-
[Dream]
Chrono finished mauling the man in front of him, but still not satisfied with the carnage he caused. So, he walked towards a nearby woman who was staring at him in fear, grabbing her by the neck. He then tossed her into a nearby window, where people were eating. So not only did he just basically cripple the woman he tossed for life, but now the people eating have gotten massive gashes all over them. His body started speaking against his will "I am the incarnation of your sins against the enchantress, beg for mercy and maybe I might leave you with only a missing limb!"
[Reality]
A cloaked drolf repeated all of the moves in Chrono's dream, but wisps of dark energy came off of his body as he made a spectacle of himself.
((Chrono is still a wolf))
-
Aidin lifted her head and looked around. "Damn it... I need to lay off the vodka." She held her head as a migraine set in. She stumbled over to the cellar door and walked down the steps. "Chrono?" She turned on the light and squinted. She saw him thrashing about and ran over to him. "Chrono! Wake up!" She shouted shaking him.
-
(Dream)
Chrono was about to launch himself into the room and set it ablaze, but then felt himself get slammed into the ground and see Aidin yelling at him....and thats when he woke up
(Reality) The creature was about to continue attacking, but suddenly fell down and dissipated in black smoke.
"What, what did I do?!" was all that Chrono said when he was woken up by violent shaking.
-
[reality]
Kitt staggered to his feet, weak morning light streaming in through the bar windows. Leaning against the bar he gave a small whimper as he felt the gashes and bruises over his body. Giving a groan he sat down on a bar stool leaning his head on his hand, not one of the best nights sleep he'd ever had...
((sorry fang.... i ammended it... it was in a dream...))
-
"I don't know.. You were going to attack me!" She shouted crawling away from after being tossed on the ground. "You're acting real strange and I want an explanation!"
-
Fang wakes up seeing the knife lodged in his stomach behind the bar just out of Kistrev's line of sight "Uh... you know consedering the circumstances this should be very painful" murmered Fang grabbing the nearest unsmashed vodka bottle and stumbling to his feet hoping not to startle Kistrev
((Me got new computer :3 so now I can post more regularly again :)))
-
Chrono cocked his head to the left in confusion, then the memories before sleeping came back and he became depressed. "Why, I'll end up forgetting, not apparently like the guy you're going out with..." He looked at a nearby keg and thought about a one-time binge, since his sleep didn't help him get over the depression.
-
Fang poked the knife and it dissapeared in a shroud of black smoke then stares at the stomach wound "Hmm... It's open but blood isnt coming out... and it doesn't hurt just tingles. Hey I wonder what the other... bad.... memory... guy thinks?" Fang said deciding to invite himself down to the cellar
((Chrono ar eyou a wolf in this rp? If so what colour?))
-
*Kistrev looked up at fang, his bruised and gashed face set in grim determination.... the wounds where healing extraordinally fast... but not fast enough for them to be visible...* well, i guess that wounds caused in the dream lose strength as the day go's on... suppose the magic loses power under the sun or sumthing... damn! and i was going to go see some builders who will be helping with construction of the house! i cant go like this.... bah!
-
Aidin looked at Chrono oddly. "What do you mean?" She asked. Her eyes flickered with concern and curiosity.
-
"I mean this Tyrus whos name you had right next to you while eating the food I offered!" He soon calmed down after realizing he snapped at Aidin, which was not a way he wanted to bring it up. "If you were already taken, why did you even bother with me?"
-
"Whoa... where am I?"
-
"I'm not taken!" She shouted at him throwing her arms up. Frustration formed as a lump in her throat. "I'm not taken... Or at least... as far as I know I'm not." She looked at him and moved closer.
-
Chrono began to calm down, but then he looked up at Aidin, his eyes filled with an almost unnatural emptiness. "If nightmares come to life, did my nightmare just maul someone?"
-
"Only time will answer that," She muttered calming herself, a tear dropping to the ground, making a quiet splash on the floor. "I'm be upstairs if you need me." She turned and began to walk to the stairs slowly.
-
The emptiness vanished when he saw Aidin walking away and almost crashed into her while catching up. "I really want to know, whos this Tyrus...and why was his name next to you?" He didn't want to see someone getting sad over what he thought was his own issue, so he was trying to change the subject.
-
"I'm not really sure. I don't have any recollection of that name ever being mentioned before." She turned and faced him, her face close to his.
-
Chrono felt a wierd form of insecurity setting in, and got within centimeters of her before saying out of a somewhat befuddled mind. "You, Me, upstairs, we stop at second base..."
-
Aidin looked at him oddly. "What?" She asked confused.
-
"I need you to prove you don't know him with more than just words..." he was tempted to wrap his arms around her, but that would be forcing the issue too much.
-
Aidin stood still and hesitated to turn to face him. "I don't know who he is... and actions speak louder than words..." She turned to him and blinked slowly.
-
He quickly kisses her and with half-lidded eyes... "Then please let me have this moment before I am cursed to forget yet again..." he grabs onto her shoulders firmly, but not enough to feel discomfort.
-
Aidin nodded. She smiled and fell into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and shut her eyes, holding on to the moment.
-
He felt a random thought go into his head, but ignored it. I planned on something more than just an embrace, but I guess I'm shooting too far for now...
-
Aidin laughed at his comment. Oh come now... I'm not that dumb... I'm simply holding you... not telling you no. ((if this is continuing on any further then take it to PM... no need to get the RP shut down haha))
-
Oh you're no fun at all... Chrono started to relax in the embrace, almost to the point of sleeping again. "Music, box, need...." he mumbled while trying to fight the urge to sleep.
-
Aidin smiled and gently bit his ear. She bit hard enough to wake him up. "No sleeping silly..."
-
He he shot up from the bite and stared right at Aidin. "Thanks... although I think you might have drawn blood..." he siad feeling his ear.
-
She liked his ear gently. "No I didn't. Don't worry."
-
"I guess I'll go look up the name after some food, know where I can do that?"
-
Aidin smiled and nodded. "Of course. We can head to the library. They have everything there." She touched his face gently then walked downstairs to the bar. "Care for a drink real quick?" She asked holding up coke and rum.
-
Chrono laughed at the drinks she held up. "There better be more rum than coke in mine..."
-
I'm not going to be able to post for a while so untill I can post more just say my character has somewhat unspectacularily gone missing ^_^
-
"Of course!" She laughed taking a drink out of the glass. "Its about seventy percent rum." She leaned on the counter and smiled at him, her eyes happy.
-
He quickly walked down and took the bottle out of her hands. "Please let me do my job Miss Aidin" Chrono said in a mock professional tone as he filled his glass, and cut two slivers of lime, putting one on each of theirs.
-
"yea yea yea... At least I remember what I'm doing," She joked lightly kissing his cheek.
-
Although you can't see it because of the cloak he wears almost like a second skin, Chrono's ears went back and he frowned. "Now that was a low blow...."
-
"I was just kidding with you. You know that." She smiled and kissed his lips this time. She backed away and laughed lightly. "Ok... So lets go shopping. We need to stock the fridge and freezer."
-
"Oh...can we get shark meat, I wanna try some sushi, or maybe sashimi...or even cajun!!" Chrono replied, almost on the verge of hopping. It seemed he really wanted to either cook different styles, or find more ways to put their previous chef to shame with his cooking variety...
-
Aidin laughed and let out a deep sigh. "Sure, I suppose we could." She touched his cheek gently and walked from behind the bar to the door. She grabbed her scarf off the coat hanger and looked at Chrono. "Shall we go then?"
-
Chrono walked past her and out the door, but instead of seeing a single lane heading only two ways, he saw a cauldesac on his right as he left the Pub. "Aidin, did we use to work at a dead end street before?"
-
"I believe so... Yes," Aidin smiled. "Come on sweetheart. Shark awaits us." She went down the street and turned back. "Are you coming?" She asked.
-
Chrono nodded before walking back to Aidin. I remember walking with Aidin down a two-way street starting from the pub... but there was a street where that dead end was... or maybe I'm just forgetting again... he let the thought pass out of his head when he walked right behind Aidin. "Has anyone ever walked down the streets with their eyes closed?"
-
"Not that I've seen," She said with a hint of curiosity dancing on her tongue. "Why do you ask?"
-
hello every one
:3
-
"Maybe whats keeping the people here is an illusion that works on the eyes, making you see one path, but your body actually walks in circles. Its just a theory though, since I havn't seen anyone walking without using their eyes..."(Go to OOC thread and delete post please? :/)
-
"Oh... You meant if that Culdesac was there once before. And the answer is no. The streets change every no and again. Your theory is right Chrono." She frowned and continued walking.
((Yes, if you are to join. I would appreciate if you went to the OOC and deleted the post. Thank you.))
-
Chrono smiled at the possible solution to the illusion that appeared in his head before following Aidin. With my memory, I might be the only one who can get through on their own... well I'll just have to come back later...
-
"I wouldn't recommend it Chrono," She warned. Aidin turned and stopped. "I can help... But It can greatly alter the curse and possibly awaken the Sorceress. And that's a whole bunch of chaos in itself." Aidin's eyes flickered in the setting sunlight.
-
"Its rude to read the thoughts of others... although I guess I should think over the possibilities, if I even remember what I was going to do" he said with rather loud laughter
-
Aidin laughed. "Of course. Come on... Let's hurry before it gets too dark." She looked around and shuddered as a cold breeze blew through the streets. Yellow and orange leaves whipped around her as she waited for him.
-
Chrono was already in front of her, his eyes closed as a leaf smacked him right in the face. "This entire village doesn't like chronic amnesia..." he said before walking back to Aidin and keeping pace with her.
-
Aidin smiled as the sun finally set completely and the full moon was present. "come on," She said. She stopped and jumped on his back. Her mood went from calm to a playful mood.
-
"What makes you think I know where to go?" he smiled and kissed her neck entirely on impulse before walking the same direction he was before.
-
Aidin laughed and nuzzled him. "Alright, go straight... I'll tell you went to turn," She said still clinging to his back.
-
He nodded and kept going forward until a rock whizzed past his head and hit a nearby wall. He then turned to see a group of rather angry people holding pitchforks and torches, the generic angry mob equipment. "Theres the monster that killed my husband, and hes abducting a woman too?!" Chrono started to step back, having no idea whats going on, but not willing to stay and find out. "I didn't kill anyone, did I?" he whispered to Aidin.
-
"I'm guessing it involves the dream you had Chrono. I'll go talk to them," She said angrily as she slid off his back. "Excuse me... But He would never harm a living being. I am not abducted. He works for me and He's been with me all night and day." She looked at them angrily. "Madame, He killed this woman's husband." A man said calmly. Aidin bared her teeth and growled. "No sir, He didn't. You know what happens when dreams go uncontrolled. I would greatly appreciate it if you consoled this woman and told her it was a simple accident. I can't control all the dreams in this down Sir." She walked back to Chrono and grabbed his arm. "Let's go... No one is getting in trouble." She smirked at the people and walked down the road.
-
"Great, my nightmares don't kill me, they kill everyone else..." Chrono's ears lowered in his hood while continuing forward somewhat depressed.
-
Aidin stopped and turned to him. "Chrono... Relax, It's happened to me once before. And I know you're hurt by it... but don't sweat it hun," She said taking his hood off. She held his face and kissed him gently.
-
"I guess, but does every nightmare start with the Sorcress appearing before all hell breaks loose?" Chrono always slept with the music box in his room playing, and he never had a nightmare until he slept without it.
-
"Usually... But why do you ask?" Aidin looked at him urgently.
-
Chrono shrugged. "Its my first nightmare since i've been here, and she had the same music box, but I got enraged instead of sleepy..." His mind began to drift back to what he did on the stairs. What in the seven circles of hell was I thinking?! he thought as he blushed under his hood.
-
She stopped and looked at him. Her hand reached into his hood and touched his warm cheek. Her eyes shut as she blew a sweet mint breath that could be seen as a blue glowing mist. Suddenly the town began to spin and they appeared in a grave yard that was not inside the town. She opened her eyes and put his hood down. "Follow me."
-
"H-how did you....nevermind, I don't want to know!" he said as he followed her, his cloak/coat giving off glowing runes that illuminated the space around him.
-
Aidin shook her head. "Don't worry about it... There are things you don't know about me that you might find out" She looked at him then continued to walk forward.
-
Chrono walked with her, glancing around at the gravestones. "Do the nightmare related deaths occour more around a certain age group, because I'm seeing alot of small graves"
-
"Not usually. These are from the flu that struck here a few years ago. All the children were more susceptible to the illness. I remember that year, first year no celebrations took place." Aidin looked at Chrono and looked at the small grave stone. Her tail brushed over many others as she continued walking. "Come here... There's something I want to show you." Aidin walked to a large marble grave site. "I'm going to need your muscle to move the door..." Her eyes glistened in the moonlight as she walked over to him and kissed his neck gently.
-
feeling the kiss on his face motivated him all the more, and he almost knocked the door off its hinges while opening the grave site. "This looks....fancy" Chrono obviously pointed out while looking around the interior.
-
"Yea... That's what you get for being rich. What I'm about to show you can not be told to anyone." Aidin walked down the stpes as torches lit as she walked.
-
"Uh, alright, its not like i'll remember....wait, where are we?" he asked while following Aidin, but still trying to remember.
-
Aidin walked to a grave stone and showed Chrono a large Silver Coffin. Aidin leaned on it and frowned.
-
Chrono looked at the coffin with a 'still have no clue' look on his face. "Whats so important about this silver coffin, we gonna be selling it?"
-
[[woah... ive been away from this rp a while.. hope you guys dont mind me still joining in ^_^ ]]
"You got yerself a fine house there..."
"sure is..."
Kitt looked up at the small house he had finished during the last week... situated on the harbourside it was built like a small corner shop, with a turret style room set on top looking out to the sea...
"well... happy living.."
"same to you James..."
Opening the red oak door he stepped into his house for the first time... small, cosy it was perfect... climibng the small winding stairs to the tower room he found the single bed he had managed to get up there.... opening the window to let in the sea breeze he leant on the window sill and let out a sigh.... home...
-
Aidin stood up straight and walked over to Chrono. She pulled him to the marker that read "Chrono Blackwing". She stood silently and looked up at him.
-
Chrono's jaw drops when he looks at it. "T-That can't be true.... I'm standing right here!!" he slumps against the coffin, wanting to break it open, but feeling something hold him back. "Why is my name on this grave?!"
-
"You... are dead. But I couldn't let you go. I had to have you, so I erased your memory so you wouldn't know. I didn't want you to fret and ask questions that I couldn't answer..." Aidin looked away from him and leaned against the wall behind them.
-
"So, am I undead, living, or some physical spirit... because part of me is getting a different vibe that something here doesn't add up" He got off the coffin and looked back at Aidin
-
"That's just it... You're living, but you were on the verge of death from a devastating accident. So I made a deal with a woman. The woman, whom the music box is from, said I had to kill another to save you. So I seeked a murderer, someone who deserved to die, someone who resembled you in physical appearance." Aidin looked away then back up at him. "I couldn't let you go."
-
Chrono shook his head, he felt like something was still missing, the enchantress wanted the entire town to suffer, why did she give Aidin the chance to bring him back? "I'm...happy that you brought me back, but I keep thinking theres more to why she actually decided to make the deal, rather than just laugh at you... somethin I can't remember!"
-
"I can only bring your memory back for a short amount of time," She said looking at him.
-
"Fine, I just need to know exactly how much of my life i'm missing..." Chrono felt a twinge of anger course through his system. Not only was he supposed to be dead, now hes in the body of a murderer...
-
Aidin looked at him. "I only took away your death. The rest is vague but there... Certain things trigger the memories."
-
"Oh, like that name eariler..... or that mu- augh!" his head throbbed as a chunk of his memories flashed painfully in his head. "I...couldn't even think long enough to remember whatever just caused me that... so annoying" he rubbed his eyes before looking at the coffin. "Maybe theres something in here...."
-
Aidin stooded against the wall. "I'm sorry..." She said saddened.
-
Chrono shook his head and looked at Blair. "Its not your fault, it just hurts for me to remember, it was my own desire to remember" He went back to the coffin and pried open the lid to see something most people would consider very unusual. "Any reason theres a live body in this tomb...and why does it look like me?"
