• Flame watched them from a decent distance, observing carefully. She was the kind of person who liked to see EXACTLY(italics!) what she was getting into. (NT) -- Flame, 18:42:34 02/20/05 Sun
  • OOC: be back in a minute, gotta practice cello, wait if ur still here. (NT) -- Flame, 18:44:59 02/20/05 Sun
• Dar smiles at seeing the boat. It was beautiful, absolutely wonderful. He hopped up onto the dock and knelt down by the side of the boat to get a closer look. "She's beautiful," he said finally to Victim. (NT) -- Dar, 07:00:32 02/21/05 Mon
• Flame recegnized one of the boys, she'd seen him on occasion, the other though, was a complete stranger, she had never met him before, and she really got around. Her curiosity overruled her caution and she walked over to them, sun glinting off her reddish hair (NT) -- Flame, 09:21:15 02/21/05 Mon
• OCC: Sorry for butting in, but would you guys mind if a new character joined? This thread looks interesting. I can't post very often, like Aena, do you guys mind? (NT) -- Lark, 09:45:34 02/21/05 Mon
• OOC: Please join! Yeah! New people! BIC: Dar looks up at the newcomer wondering who she was and if the others knew her. (NT) -- Dar, 14:30:07 02/21/05 Mon
• Unbeknownst to the four at the dock, there was yet a fifth person in view. A young, pale-skinned girl was standing at the edge of the dock. Her raven's black hair swirled around her, tossed in the breeze. She seemed to blend in to her surroundings to perfection. Her eyes flicked from face to face--there were three people clustered around a beautiful boat, which she looked at enviously. Her eyes flicked to a newcomer, a young woman with flaming red hair. She nestled against the wooden work of the dock, choosing to bide her time and watch these four strangers until she understood more about them. (NT) -- Lark, 19:15:31 02/21/05 Mon
  • Flame approached the threesome but stopped when she felt eyes on the back of her neck she turned and saw a girl watching her carefully, just as she had been watching the others. She stood frozen, not sure now what to do. She glanced over to the group clustered around the boat and saw that they had not noticed her, so instead, she walked over to the girl. (OOC: her hair isn't bright red, rather a dark chestnutty color, and only 15, so still bacically a teen) (NT) -- Flame, 21:35:01 02/21/05 Mon
• OOC: Um, Lark said in her post that she was "unbeknownst" to those on the dock, so Flame shouldn't have seen her and Dar already saw her so how could she have not been noticed? (NT) -- A confused Dar, 07:41:18 02/22/05 Tue
  • OOC:Well she WAS unknown until Flame saw her and I thought Dar had seen LARK not Flame. (darn we need italics) (NT) -- Flame, "trekka no diam consol dis nah", 12:36:14 02/22/05 Tue
• OOC: As Flame was the one walking up to us on the dock Dar was referring to her but whatever let's continue with the plot now. (NT) -- Dar, 07:10:49 02/23/05 Wed
  • OOC:Sure, now all I have to do is wait for Lark to come back.*sighs and sits down to finish writing fanfiction* (NT) -- Flame, 11:44:37 02/23/05 Wed
• OOC: Hello, Lark and Flame. I'm always glad to have more people, but I'm adding a few cautions inside that the other two already have heard me whine about. I like giving people a heads up though. Oh, and Flame, while WRITING LIKE THIS is fine, it's also considered correct to /emphasize like this./ It makes it feel less like shouting, for the record. BIC: Victim had noticed both newcomers, but since neither seemed interested in talking with the three already at the boat, he decided not to bring it up. After a silent moment, he reconsidered. Turning suddenly he waves, "Hey you two, c'mon over! She's a beaut, isn't she? We're taking a quick ride, so come with us!" OOC: And Lark, I realize your character was hidden. Trust me when I say that Victim rocks at spotting hidden things. He's just bad at noticing the obvious. -- Victim?, 12:16:28 02/23/05 Wed
  • OOC:inside. BIC: Flame hesitated, not used to this kind of invitation, she wasn't very sociel by nature, despite that, she complyed, and strode over to the gorgous boat. -- Flame, 17:52:31 02/23/05 Wed
• Aena rubbed the well polished side of the boat. "You did a good job, Victim." She wished she could get into the boat and go on a sailing trip. She looked out on the water and sighed. She looked back to the beach and saw Lark. She frowned. She hadn't seen her when they came onto the dock, so she must have sneaked up on them. OOC: Children, Children, lets not fight. *LOL* BIC: In the corner of her eye, she could see Flame walking towards Lark. (NT) -- Aena, 12:24:05 02/23/05 Wed
• OOC: Is it to late to join? If not, can I join? (NT) -- Acorla, 12:49:22 02/23/05 Wed
• (My OOC is inside, but it's a good read *wink* Acorla, you're welcome to join, just be sure to take a look too.) Victim grins and opens his arms wide, "I've got a full larder, a polished deck, and some sails I'm just dying to try. Anyone up for a bit of a voyage? We won't go far. I think this boat can safely fit..." Victim does a quick calculation, "Well, if we crammed people into the darker areas, we could fit a good two-score. Comfortably, I think I could get about 8 people on this thing, not counting myself." he says that last part loudly. He then waves the people at the edge of the dock over, "So?! C'mon, or we'll leave without ye!" -- Victim?, 21:16:49 02/23/05 Wed
  • e(OOC inside) Flame stepped into the boat with Victim and the others, still not used to such open friendliness. she turned and saw that yet another girl had appeared. She gave a little smile, who knew a little walk on the beach could lead to an adventure? -- Flame, the fiery one (long story), 22:03:25 02/23/05 Wed
• Dar stood up and looked at all the newcomers. He smiled, the first real smile he'd had in a while. Maybe all the bad stuff was behind him. Maybe he could finally settle down and maybe even make some friends. OOC: Fate inside. -- Dar, 05:34:45 02/24/05 Thu
  • Victim leaps over the rails and starts preparing the ship for a quick voyage. "The sails are below. I'll grab them just before we head out. For now, would everyone please stay on deck? I gotta make sure that everything is...umm...tidy before you go exploring." Victim dashes into the indoor section of the ship. ((OOC inside. I'd /really/ appreciate it if everyone looked, por favor.)) -- Victim?, 14:42:14 02/24/05 Thu
    • Dar eagerly climbed aboard the deck and imediately fell to examining everything. -- Dar, 16:32:11 02/24/05 Thu
• Aena stepped into the boat with glee. She had hoped to go on a trip and low and behold, they where going on a trip! She turned back to the dock and saw the other girl. "Hey, are you coming?" -- Aena, 16:32:56 02/24/05 Thu
• Acorla smiled shyly and hopped into the boat. She had wanted to make friends and she had. "Thanks. I thought you would leave me behind." She frowned. "People seem to do that to me alot." She smiled again and sat down on the deck. "So what are your names?" She asked, talking to everyone. -- Acorla, 16:36:22 02/24/05 Thu
  • OOC: Hey two minutes ago your posts weren't here. Guess we're all on at the same time. BIC: Dar looked up from a rail he was examining and replied simply, "Dar." (NT) -- Dar, 16:38:36 02/24/05 Thu
    • The girl looked up, "I'm called Flame", she said quietly."don't ask, its a long story." (NT) -- Flame, 23:21:07 02/24/05 Thu
• It's all inside~ -- Victim?, 10:00:34 02/25/05 Fri
  • Flame calmly picks up an apple and bite into it. (ooc: did you get my email) (NT) -- Flame, 21:15:48 02/25/05 Fri
  • As soon as Victim brought up the tray Dar could feel his mouth salivating. It was all he could do to restrain himself from attacking the tray of food. As it was he took an orange and quickly began peeling it. It had been so long since he'd had any /fresh/ fruit. He threw the peel overboard, ate the orange and then took an apple. Dar looked around the ship once more. It was much different than the last ship he had been on and he was glad. He didn't need any more reminders of that past. (NT) -- Dar, 07:06:04 02/26/05 Sat
    • (OOC:Hi, is anyone else here?) (NT) -- Flame, 10:52:20 02/26/05 Sat
• OCC: Sorry, it's been a while. A very long while. BIC: Lark took a deep breath, calming herself. She continued to watch as yet another girl joined the others as the stepped into the beautifully crated boat. She knew at least two of the others had seen her, and she shrunk further back into the shadows. But as they prepared to push off from the dock, she steeled herself and stepped out from her hiding place. She noted they seemed to be eating something...fruit. Her mouth watered. "Hello," she called, stretching her arm up and waving timidly. (NT) -- Lark, 11:04:05 02/26/05 Sat
• Inside, for Victim. -- Lark, 11:17:43 02/26/05 Sat
  • Flamw looked up at Lark and with some sudden sixth sense, knew that Lark was like her, alone. She gestured to the other girl to come in.(OOC: for victim inside) -- Flame, 11:37:39 02/26/05 Sat
• Dar returned to the tray and selected a piece of the cooked bird. He began munching happily on it hoping that they would set sail soon. (NT) -- Dar, 07:31:15 02/27/05 Sun
  • Flame took another bite of her apple. (NT) -- Flame, 18:39:41 02/27/05 Sun
• Hrm. Over 1,360 words ain't bad. It's inside, yo. -- Victim?, 19:36:51 02/27/05 Sun
  • Flame held her hands out in front of her, "Hey, don't look at me, I'm not going next" (NT) -- Flame, 19:47:38 02/27/05 Sun
  • Dar frowned. He was ready to make friends but not quite ready to tell them his past. Not to mention the fact that telling them would completly destroy the happy, carefree feeling aboard right now. He quickly snatched another apple and took a bite. He chewed very slowly to avoid speaking. (NT) -- Dar, 04:54:24 02/28/05 Mon
    • The read haired girl looked around her and saw that no one was volunteering, "Ok fine, I'll go". (inside) -- Flame, 07:39:24 02/28/05 Mon
      • OOC: do all you people have 24 hour jobs or somthing? You're never here during the week (NT) -- Flame, 20:48:42 03/01/05 Tue
• OOC: I'm here everyday, but I just said that Dar is avoiding speaking so there's not a lot I can do with him...Fine how about this? BIC: Dar finishes his first bite and quickly takes another, still chewing slowly, to keep his mouth full. (NT) -- Dar, 06:19:38 03/02/05 Wed
  • Flame glanced over at Dar and saw that he was avoiding talking, she left him his silence. (NT) -- Flame, 12:07:52 03/02/05 Wed
• OOC: sorry it's taken so long. BIC: Aena could see that no one wanted to talk. That was okay, she didn't want to talk either. "Victim, can you tell me where we're going?" She asked. (NT) -- Aena, 18:18:46 03/02/05 Wed
  • Flame growled slightly to herself, first the got her to talk and then no one else did, she felt mildly annoyed (NT) -- Flame, 20:18:33 03/03/05 Thu
• Victim was also a bit put off. He was just trying to be friendly... he gives a huge smile to Aena, "I don't know yet. Hey! We could make this a two-day voyage, if y'like. Do any of you have reason to be back anytime soon? I've never had a chance to test out the guest quarters, since most of my voyages are by myself." As Victim suggests the idea, the sun sets completely into the horizon, leaving the stars alone to light the sea. There is no moon tonight. ((OOC inside)) -- Vicitm?, 22:12:49 03/03/05 Thu
  • "I don't have to be back. I don't even live here yet." Dar said with a small smile. OOC: Inside. -- Dar, 05:08:53 03/04/05 Fri
• Lark sat quietly, her back up against the side. She tilted her head back and watched the stars, swaying to the waves shaking the ship. The black sails swirled marvelously against the patchwork sky of stars and clouds, and Lark sighed in content. She waited for someone else to answer victim's question, and turned to study the face of the young boy, Dar. (NT) -- Lark, 17:01:37 03/04/05 Fri
• OOC: I shall take this as a great opening to describe my character without actually having him speak. Thanks Lark! (Inside) -- Dar, 20:12:29 03/04/05 Fri
  • Flame, watched the boy carefully, he was definatlaly holding back, (thats ok, i guess)she thought (after all, we all have our secrets....) (NT) -- Flame, 22:03:15 03/04/05 Fri
• Lark continued to watch the boy. He's hiding something, she thought. Cringing at the thought, she turned her glance away and gazed instead at the black ocean supporting their lone vessel. (NT) -- Lark, 12:29:52 03/05/05 Sat
  • Flame pulled a chunk of driftwood out of her pocket, and began to meticuously carve it. (NT) -- Flame, 17:02:48 03/05/05 Sat
  • Dar turned around and placed his arms on the rough railing. He watched the waves. He felt comfortable aboard the ship. /It was so different this time/ (NT) -- Dar, 09:26:15 03/06/05 Sun
  • Since the unofficial crew seemed to be in agreement for the longer voyage, Victim quietly excused himself to prepare the guest rooms. After a few minutes he returns, and after making sure that most people were comfortable he sidles over to Dar, joining him at the rail. He had changed his shirt while inside, now wearing the sleevless red vest alone. It's now clear that Victim has something similar to Dar on his left bicep. A black tattoo portrays a full moon hidden behind two clouds. Victim watches the sea for a moment, occasionally glancing over to Dar, "You're lucky." he smiles weakly at last, "you got a cool lookin' lighting bolt. All I got were some flimsy clouds." (NT) -- Victim?, 09:18:44 03/07/05 Mon
• Dar turned to look at Victim's tatoo, he then shifted his blue gaze to Victim's face, "Where'd you get yours?" (NT) -- Dar, 14:31:38 03/07/05 Mon
  • Flame glanced over at the two boys talking, then turned to Lark. (NT) -- Flame, 18:42:11 03/07/05 Mon
• Lark sensed the girl's gazed. She turned, and their eyes met. Something told her the two shared a common bond. Breaking contact, Lark turned to watch Dar and Victim. She flinched when she noted the tattoo on Victim's arm. Now where had she seen that design before? (NT) -- Lark, 12:33:57 03/12/05 Sat
  • "Boys", Flame sighed, "showing off there tattoos". she smiled at Lark, hopeing to draw the girl into a conversation, (OOC: wow, my charactor woul never really do that but I'm bored out of my wits and want to talk to someone) (NT) -- Flame, 21:56:37 03/12/05 Sat
• Aena shifted uncomfotably in the silents. She much prefered talking. She Lark and Flame talking and Victim and Dar talking. Aena had always seemed to be the odd one out, but she didn't begrudge anyone. She looked at the stars and found the brightest one. It was the star PreneaOOC:made up name.BIC: and it was her favorite. It was always in the same place no matter what. She could depend on that star. She liked that. (NT) -- Aena, 14:23:37 03/14/05 Mon
  • seeing that Lark was not in the mood to talk, Flame turned hopefully to Aena (still very out of charactor but I don't care) (NT) -- Flame, 16:56:30 03/14/05 Mon
• FYI: New post at the top of the page. (NT) -- Dar, 08:14:33 03/18/05 Fri
  • Yup yup, sorry about that. I made one earlier, but it never posted...So now post under the one called Victims Ship, or whatever I call it in the end. Sorry about that mix up. (NT) -- Fate, 08:49:19 03/21/05 Mon
