IC Guardians of the Elements

[Jolterino]

Liro stood up and brushed the dirt off of his clothes. He looked at the scar on his thigh, where the leech dug in and all the various scratches and scars from previous battles. He then looked over to his left arm, or what's left of it. "Man I'm a mess." He muttered. Liro started walking silently back to his home when he felt something crash into the planet. He stopped in his tracks and started walking towards it. "I just can't catch a break." He said and sighed.

((@Everyone What should I be seeing on the way there, haven't been looking at the thread recently. ))

(( oh, guys, I'm sorry if you were all waiting for me to respond or something but I haven't been because I'm unconscious. Normally I'd wake up or something but considering I fell from space I feel like it would be more believable if I had to be revived by you guys so that's why I'm not doing anything. Again, sorry if you were waiting for me ))

 

[Hunter]

((did he crash into catco?))

 

[S_swimmer]

((did he crash into catco?))

(( no he crashed into the ground next to Zwn not harming anything except her state of mind assuming its my character you're talking about ))

 

[Kloud_Strife]

After everyone standing around for hours days weeks an indeterminate amount of time, Caithe prods the naked body with vines, trying to rouse him.

S_swimmer ((we've all seen enough hentai to know where this is going))

 

[S_swimmer]

Ark was having the last dream he would have for a very long time.

For the first time in years, it wasn't a nightmare, but a peaceful, blissful dream, as it should be. Ark was recalling all of his loved ones. As he thought of each one, they slowly drifted away from him. For some reason, this made Ark peaceful. He thought of his brother, his parents, Cynthia... and watched as they all melted away into nothingness. Ark smiled. It felt as though the weight of the world was off his shoulders.

He snapped out of his trance when he felt a strange ticklish sensation around his body. He giggled a little bit despite himself. As quickly as it came, however, it faded away. Ark looked around his dreamscape and felt a little suspicious, but he payed it no mind and went back to his sweet reminiscing.

(( y'all are gonna have to try harder than that, he's a heavy sleeper :---) btw sorry if my posts are long because i like inner thoughts for some reason ))

 

[CaffeinatedKitty]

"How do you suggest we do that...?" She looks at Airis, then back at the boy--and realizes he's lacking something in particular. Raising her eyebrows, she takes a quick step back and turns away. "Er... Without Zwn's help, that is."
She glances back, trying not to look at him- but sees that Caithe is doing... Something with some vines. "...what are you doing?"
...
((oh shit

[Timdood3]

Ross watched Caithe tickle the meteor with vines. Why doesn't she tickle me like that. Her rousing seems proves ineffective, though I'm not so sure about the arrousal, so Ross splashes the newcomer in the face with cold water.

 

[Hunter]

Cairne joins the game of Wake the Hell Up, and rouses his interest with a friendly foot to the kidneys.
Seems the guy's clothes burnt off in re-entry. It's a miracle he still has hair.

...Zwn appears to be traumatized. Wonder what she saw? Perhaps more than the spaceman's clothes were obliterated?
Cairne shudders at the thought.

He's a tad curious, but the poor sap's covered up with vines.
"Ugh. I'll just throw this over him," he says, whipping out his cape.
He flicks the boy with the corner before throwing the fabric over the surely-stung sleeping body.

 

[S_swimmer]

(( I suppose it's about time now ))

At last, Ark was at peace. At last! He was never able to experience something like this before, but finally, through all of his misery, he was finally happy. He always thought that the people he knew were the only things that brought him peace. He never knew, though, that what he really had to do all this time was to just let go.

Somewhere, though, in the middle of his dream, Ark felt a pang of panic in his stomach. He looked around wildly and saw his brother and Cynthia, their arms outstretched, trying to grab his hand. But they were crying. And they were being pulled away from him. When he realized the truth of what was happening, Ark's eyes widened and his jaw dropped.

He was losing his memories.

His chest felt empty. They grew further. He started sprinting. They grew further. He yelled to them. They grew further. He started crying. They grew further. He kept sprinting. They grew further. He reached out his hand. He stumbled. He tripped. He fell to the ground and began sobbing, wallowing in a pool of tears and snot. He lost them. Now he would have no memory of them. He cried and cried in hopelessness as all of his memories escaped his body.

He could never get his family back now. They were lost. Lost forever.

​

I awake with a start, eyelids springing open. Who am I? I am Ark. I am a boy. I... don't know anything else. It alarmed me, but not so much. It's not like I know what it's like to know anything else.

My body is sore all over. Groaning, I sit up, wiping my eyes and blinking a couple times. Finally, my vision becomes clear and I see –

People. People all around me. Looking at me. Staring at me. Menacingly. Immediately, I begin to panic and yell out, "W-WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?"

(( bout damn time amirite
btw who didn't see the memory loss coming? *cricket* ))​

((Not trying to sound too critical, but might I recommend roleplaying in third person? It's a lot easier (and sometimes, fun) that way.))

 

[Hunter]

A cliched leaf remains affixed to the spaceman's privates. The cape fell.
Alien guy's in hysterics. Cairne facepalms; this is ridiculous.

Accessories: Jewelry: (right arm/hand) 2 small gold wristbands, 1 thick gold wristband with inscriptions, 3 medium gold wristbands, 1 white ring on pinky, 3 rings on ring finger (1 silver with inscriptions, 1 black with inscriptions, 1 gold), 2 gold rings on pointer finger - - - (left hand) 1 thick black wristband, 1 gold ring on pointer finger
Weapons: golden staff imbued with strengthening magic to make it able to be used as a weapon

((if you're nude, the staff is gone unless you're lying on it, right?))
Fiestaguy he is alternating between first and third person

Cairne quickly explains the concept of guardians.

[CaffeinatedKitty]

She smiles as he sits up, but flinches as he yells--though it was to be expected.
"Well, um... We're Guardians. We're supposed to be making...this-" she gestures to the landscape around them- "habitable. Quite obviously we've been having a bit of trouble with that." She laughs slightly. "My name's Alouette. What's yours?"
...
((S_swimmer do whatever the hell you want with your RP style ^^))

 

[Kloud_Strife]

S_swimmer yeah i dont think anyone cares what perspective you roleplay from.))

Caithe pulls the vines away from his body, remaining silent.

((*intense vine lady snare*
*slowly retracts the vines*
*even more intense snare*
**

 

[S_swimmer]

(( aaah I'm sorry guys but I actually got my laptop taken away for 4 hours today, sorry for not responding!
For the whole writing perspective I thought it would be cool to flip writing styles when Ark became a new person and I'm going to continue to do that. Thanks for your suggestion, though, Fiesta, I'll keep it in mind if I start feeling awkward with first person))

After my scream is let loose, there are a lot of reactions. Everyone is surprised, some flinching and some smiling. They all begin to try to explain to me, but they are so surprised that they're all talking at once, stumbling over their words. I start to back away when someone reaches out and puts their hand on my shoulder.

"Well, um... We're Guardians," a slightly high and soothing voice says. I look towards it and find a girl smiling softly at me. I ease up slightly, feeling a little bit safer. "We're supposed to be making...this-" she gestures to the landscape around them- "habitable. Quite obviously we've been having a bit of trouble with that." She laughs slightly. "My name's Alouette. What's yours?"

"A-Ark," I reply nervously in a quiet, weak voice. I try to smile back and return the favor. However, I am still dumbfounded at what she said so easily. "Guardians?" They're supposed to shape an entire planet? I feel like I'm surrounded by gods now. Harsh, commanding, intimidating presences. But Alouette continues to smile at me and I feel bad for judging them as scary people.

I look around me and see all those faces in a new light. I see people - all people with real feelings and real experiences. I can see in their eyes that everyone has been through a lot. But they're still all trying their best. I see someone with water dripping from their hands, someone with angelic white wings, someone with a crooked, mischievous smile... All around me, people with such amazing powers, and they all are showing genuine concern for me. I feel bad for yelling at them. I also see a girl with vines, staring at me in an expression that I can't quite describe but sends a shiver down my spine.

A small breeze goes through my body and I immediately know the first thing I have to do. "Um..." I speak up. "Um... I'm still not sure how to take what you just said, and I have a lot of questions, but first, do you guys have any clothes? Is it ok if I get some?"

(( EDIT: Would it be ok if you guys PM me some of your character bios? I'm still not sure on everyone's appearances ))

 

[Hunter]

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT. USE THE CAPE," he says to the dripping newcomer.
The thin brunette rests his head in pale palms, exhaling a sigh of exasperation.

((you're the guardian of what now))

 

[Timdood3]

((you're the guardian of what now))

((heh, don't rush him.))

The newcomer, Ark, introduces himself, and seems awestruck by the Guardians surrounding him. Ross takes a moment to closely observe those with whom he's spent his existence on this planet. Most look concerned for his well being. And then Caithe. Caithe is staring him down like he just ruined the whole fucking jungle they just made. You know, the one no one has noticed. Ross nudges Caithe and speaks in an undertone, "Could you at least try to be nice to the guy?"

"I'd offer to make you some robes, but they'd be made of ice....Perhaps Caithe could help?" The suggestion is pointed less at Ark and intended more to prod Caithe into being friendlier with the newcomer.

[S_swimmer]

"Ah, no it's ok, really." I grab the cape that is lying on the ground and tie it around my waist. My upper body is still shown, but this is the best that can be done right now. "Thank you."

I look at everyone sheepishly and then, out of the corner of my eye, I spot a girl with her back turned to me. I walk towards her. Alouette calls over to me. "Um, Ark, that may not be a great idea right now–"

"What do you mean?" I continue walking towards the girl. She has long brown hair and no shoes. She wears clothes that look like a leaf on her body and flower petals as shorts. A circle of roses rests around her head, reminding me of a familiar laurel crown. She's pretty, but it seems like she's a bit fragile right now. I consider putting a hand on her shoulder to get her attention, but I get the sense that she wouldn't want to be touched right now.

I around to face her. She looks a lot younger than me, but also not too much like a little kid, so I'm not really sure how to introduce myself. The height difference is awkward, so I kneel down, crossing my arms on my knees, and look up at her face, which is being covered by her hands.

"Excuse me?" The girl separates her fingers for a moment to reveal striking emerald eyes. I put on my best smile to show I mean no harm. "My name's Ark. I guess I'm new here. What's your name?"

(( Toiletprincess excited for how she'll react to this one lol
Hunter I'm actually going to keep this a secret for now, I will reveal it later ))
