Random Ramblings discussion

((thanks gabby... very useful!!))

Tiffany thought about all her friends, super friends. And she was the only one who didn't have any 'powers'.
"Do you think I might have some sort of power but like Eve, I just wait?" asked Tiffany eager for an answer. Dawn turned around and looked at Tiffany.
"There's something I need to tell you," said Dawn.
"Your mother and father told me to keep this a secret from you," explained Dawn. "That you have magical powers." Tiffany beamed with excitement!
"Really?" she asked looking at Dawn. Dawn nodded and smiled. Eve smiled at Tiffany...
"Maybe you will have some power like me," said Eve.
"What kind of powers do I have?" asked Tiffany.
"You'll just have to wait and see," said Dawn.
"Dam you!" said Tiffany and laughed.

Ahhh, Dawn thought, It is so much easier hanging out with superhumans, no wobbling around foolishly like most other mortals...
Dawnyzkira was curious about something. "What kind of superhuman are you, SD?, she wondered aloud, "What power do you possess?"
"I...", SD started, but was cut off by the sight of something travelling alongside them.
"What...", Tiffany started to say, but then she saw it too.
A robed figure sat atop a giant scorpion, with a grappling hook in his hand. The scorpion was lashing at Yuki's legs, trying to trip her. The rider fixed his gaze upon the group, his glowing red eyes daring them to challenge him. Then he focused on one of them in particular. Dawnyzkira. He knew her magic. She would be such a powerful ally. He then threw his grapple at her faster than she could catch it, twining around her and latching on itself. Eve let out a half-strangled cry, launching flames at the rope around Dawn, breaking it slowly. The rope was drugging Dawnyzkira; her eyelids were already half closed. All the rider needed to do was give the rope a sharp tug, and Dawn was his. But Tiffany stood up, surprising him with how she could do such a thing while riding at sonic-speed. In truth, their special-ness provided all of them with a great sense of balance.
While SD was trying to wake Dawn up, knowing if she was under the drug too long she'd die, Tiffany was fuming, her fists clenched. She was still standing, glaring at the robed figure, distracting him. She was sick of these Midnight Sun people. They needed a taste of their own medicine. More than that, they needed to choke down every last drop. So, with that thought on her mind, she raised her hands, fingers pointing at the rider, and summoned whatever power she had. Suddenly, the sky darkened. The winds whipped, filled with jagged blades of ice. They seemed to only hit the rider, making him nearly lose his balance.
Nearly isn't good enough, Tiffany thought. She pushed her power harder, willing it to pool in her body. Then lightning bolts shot out of her fingertips, blasting the rider off his mount, causing it to rear back, and soon it was left in the dust. Also, the grapple lost its contact to the drug, so it was easy for Eve to burn through it.
"Whew", said Dawn, regaining conciousness, "Ah... Tiffany." She smiled. "You are our savior. A fine title, yes? You used your powers, I trust?"
Tiffany nodded, staring at her slightly tingling fingers. "I... I'm a storm-bringer", she gasped.
((sorry! i should've let you pick your own power. i just thought that storm-bringing was super awesome, so i thought it'd be cool to have you have it. if you dont want it, i can edit this post... im so sorry about that...))

SD smiled, her friends could be great help with their powers.
"My powers are not as fantastic... One could simply call me an 'overdone' human, thus, a 'superhuman'. I'm stronger than the average human, I have more endurance,, and my brain has a larger capacity for retaining information... Making me more intelligent than the average human as well." This was the first time SD had been able to tell other superhumans about her secret. It felt good to finally tell her friends the truth.
Before anyone could reply, the moment was ruined.
SD spotted another figure in the distance.

Before this one had a chance to hurt her friends, Dawnyzkira conjured a jar full of green goop and chucked it at the figure. Be aware, Dawn would not throw this at an innocent. She was sure it was Midnight Sun backup before she even thought about throwing her weapon. The figure promptly caught on fire, reducing to ashes in less than 5 seconds.
"Greek fire", said Dawnyzkira grimly, "Deadliest substance in the world." Then she turned and saw another figure. But closer. Right at SD's back, in fact. With a knife. "What ho, SD!", she cried.
SD was confused for maybe a millisecond, if that much. Her superhuman brain could measure time that way. She immediately turned and attacked the intruder, knocking him out with a quick jab to the nerve cluster behind his ear. She kicked him off of Yuki, losing him in the dust of Kansas country roads.
"Hmm. That one was weak. I think they're running out of usable recruits", SD said.
"That would explain why they want us", Eve said.
"We must forge on", Dawnyzkira said, a phrase SD wished she could have monogrammed on a t-shirt.
So they all looked forward, watching their hair blow in their faces, gathering their strength for the inevitable next attack.

It was getting colder as they travelled and soon all the girls were shivering. Dawn whispered something in Yuki's ear and Yuki turned and turned a sharp corner. He charged towards a stone wall. Tiffany and Eve screamed. The wall disappeared just as they were about to crash into it. Suddenly there were in a luxurious house with a blazing fire roaring in the fireplace.

Eve blinked in surprise, her mouth wide open. They were in a high ceilinged room with a large stone fireplace and expensive-looking paintings hanging above the hearth. Floral couches were scattered across the room, and vases of bright flowers sat on surfaces all around the space. Above them there was a sparkiling chandelier with tear drop shaped crystals hanging from the gold frame. They all moved over to the fireplace, and Eve sank to the ground in front of it, grateful for the warmth after the freezing flight.

Suddenly, a man appeared through large wooden doors at the other side of the room. He appeared to be an older man, perhaps in his late seventies. He was wearing a long, black trench coat and he had shockingly white hair.
Eve and Tiffany were completely nonplussed. SD looked at the old man slyly.
Before she could say anything, he pulled a knife out of his trench coat. Any happiness that might have been on SD's face quickly disappeared. She shot him a pained, horrored look...
...and then he ripped off his face!
Or at least, a FAKE face on top of his. Beneath it was a man in his late twenties who SD knew to be--
"Howard!" She shrieked in excitement when she saw his grinning face beneath the mask.

Tiffany and Eve looked at Howard.
"Hey," he said and plonked himself on the lounge. Tiffany moved awkwardly away from him. She had this feeling there was something strange about this person. He turned and smiled. She attempted a weak smile back. He lent forward to the fire that was gradually going out and blew the faintest blow. Suddenly they had a roaring fire again. Eve and Tiffany looked at Howard.
"What?" he asked smirking at their astonished faces.
"We all have powers," he said and got up and went to the kitchen. SD sat down next to Tiffany and Eve.
"He comes and go's through time so he has this sort of mist that hangs around him from travelling back and forth and it will affect you for a while but you get used to it," explained SD.

Eve nodded, not quite understanding, but too confused to question what SD actually meant. Seeing the fire reminded Eve of her own powers. What was their limit? Did they even have one? Eve frowned to herself. Did she have any OTHER powers? Just as she was pondering this new thought, she felt a strange tingling sensation running up her arms. Alarmed, she began to call out to her friends to move, believing it was the magic flames that erupted from her palms, but stopped herself. This was different. It wasn't the unnatural heat of the flames. It was a slight tickling, like tepid water running over her limbs. The feeling spread to her torso and down her legs until it consumed her body. Suddenly, white fur sprouted like shoots of grass from her skin. Eve screamed in shock, causing Tiffany and SD to turn towards her, the blood draining from their faces. Howard ran back into the room at the sound of the girl's yelling and he froze in the doorway, his mouth gaping. They all watched helplessly as more white fur spread over her back, gradually darkening to shades of cream, dark brown and grey. Eve looked at herself incredulously and then in horror as her fingers and toes shortedned, her fingernails growing longer. She felt her face narrow and shorten, as her normal brown hair was sucked back into her skull. She tried to cry out to the others to help her, but she felt her vocal cords thickening and all that came out was a strangled sounding combination of a shriek and a squeal. Her body and legs grew shorter, as her ears grew larger and moved to the top of her head, while her teeth became pointed, like thorns, and whiskers sprouted around her new nose. New smells and sounds invaded her senses, and she looked up at the others, who now towered above her, and simply stared at them in shock, seeing the same emotion refelcted in their eyes. She had changed into a cat. She was a shape-shifter!

"Ooooh", murmured Dawnyzkira, "what a beautiful cat." She smiled and walked over to Eve, each of her steps exploding in golden light until it engulfed Dawn's body. Then it disappeared leaving a snow-white wolf in its place. It cocked its head at Eve, and spun around, turning back into Dawnyzkira.
"I am a shape-shifter as well", she said, "I can do many things...." She looked off into the distance, deep in thought. Howard's eyes never left her.
"Wow", he said softly, but Dawnyzkira obviously heard him. She turned and smiled at him, exposing rows of perfect white teeth. [omg its great to be back! ill be on much more often now, i promise]

Eve cocked her head, still in her cat form. I wonder if I can change into anything else... Eve thought. She brought up the image of a fox in her mind, a red bushy tail, tipped with white, glittering amber eyes. She concentrated, visualising it in her mind, until she felt the tingling sensation that signalled her changing. She looked back at her flank and saw tufts of new red fur poking from between the brown, cream and white tortoiseshell pattern on her back. Her snout narrowed further and her tail grew bushier, whilst the red fur began to overpower the white, but leaving clear patches on her chest, paws, tail and face. Her waist and chest grew lither and her vision fragmented as her eyes changed from deep blue to rich amber. As the change finished, she crouched low to the ground, admiring the strength in her new limbs, and took a leap, pushing off strongly with her hind legs. She landed lightly on the back of one of the couches and sat down, rather proud of herself, with her tail wrapped neatly around her white paws. She barked cheekily at the others, who were looking at her with mild surprise and she attempted a grin, which probably looked more like a snarl. She jumped down from the sofa and then leapt back up to land on Tiffany's shoulder,who stumbled backwards before righting herself and laughing. Eva sat still on Tiffany's shoulder while she turned and addressed SD and Dawnyzkira.
"So," she said, "What now?"

"Yes, what now", Dawnyzkira murmured, staring into space. She focused on Howard, who as still staring at her in awe. "Do you have a room where thoughts flow like water, and plans can be made?" Howard nodded, still in a daze, and led them to the back of the house. ((sorry! im SO tired at the moment, so this probably sucks))

Then soon, he stopped at a door. It's handle resembled that of a vault, and it was HUGE.

When Howard opened the door, all of the girls were surprised to see what was on the other side. It was just an empty room with gray rocks covering the walls, floor and ceiling.

Howard concentrated on the room, and moved his hands in an almost watery way. They seemed to carve into the still air, strangely hypnotic. As if he were trying to change the air--

The girls watched this entire display in confusion. Then, Howard stepped into the room.

Or rather, he floated into the room.

"Antigravitiy." SD said, beaming. "Very good, brother."

Howard grinned back at her. "Well, I had a great teacher." Then he turned to the others, "This room is plated with the thing the Midnight Sun want most". He patted the rock, still swimming through the air. "The rocks can do anything, if you know how to harnest their power.

"This is the perfect room to make plans," he continued, and dropped to the ground. Apparently, zero gravity wasn't the right condition for plan making. "It can be anything you want it to be."

Dawnyzkira laughed. "Like the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter!", she said happily, "This is perfect!"
"Glad you like it", Howard said. Tiffany and Eve were doing backflips through the air behind them. Dawn jumped into the zero-gravity zone and twirled around with them. "Whee!"
Meanwhile, Howard had put a bit of a force field around him and SD so they could talk. "Who is that woman with purple hair?", Howard asked. "Oh, that's Dawnyzkira!, SD replied, "She's the only immortal daughter of Iris, and minor goddess of magic. She's helped us out a lot already."
"A goddess", he murmured. "What? Do you like her?", SD joked, nudging him in the ribs. But Howard's face turned red, and he looked up at Dawn, who was still cartwheeling in the air, like he could stand there forever, watching her. SD gasped. "You do like her!" Howard stared at the ground. "Do you know how disasterous this could be?! It could effect your judgement on more important things, make you lose your focus, it could-"
"Stop!", Howard said, cutting her off. He was still a bit flushed. "I won't let this go to my head, alright? It's just... I've seen her in my dreams before. She warned me the Midnight Sun would be coming, and that my sister would be paying me a visit." He looked at her, smiling. "But I should have known; immortals never do themselves justice in their beauty, only when you see them in person do you know what they really look like. Sometimes they're uglier, sometimes prettier. In my dreams, Dawn came to me as a blurry figure in the distance. How would you feel if you were a lovesick 28-year-old who had just seen the literal girl of his dreams, kinder and more beautiful than expected?"
SD had no answer.

Suddenly the walls of the building crumbled down until they were fine grains of sand. Tiffany walked over to the edge but as she approached she felt a burning heat blocking her way. She held her hand out and it hit an invisible barrier that was so hot to the touch that she leapt back, looking at the burn mark on her hand. She turned to the others.
"Is this Midnight Sun's powers?" she asked looking at SD and Dawn. They both nodded. Tiffany sighed and went to the kitchen to run her hand under cold water. She could hear the others talking. Suddenly Eve came in.
"I feel left out, don't you?" asked Eve, examining Tiffany's hand. Tiffany thought about it for a moment. She knew what Eve meant. SD, Dawn and Howard seemed to all know each other so well but Eve and Tiffany sort of followed behind. Tiffany hadn't really talked to SD the whole trip. She felt their friendship fading.
"I know what you mean," said Tiffany placing her hand under the water again.
"Are you okay," asked SD as she came in the kitchen. Oh crap. SD might have heard what what we were talking about thought Tiffany.
"Just fine," replied Tiffany. "I just burnt myself when I touch the wall surrounding us." SD looked at Tiffany running her hand under the water.
"There's nothing you can do about that burn," said SD. "You're scarred for life with that." Tiffany looked down at her hand. She looked at her friends. Suddenly tears were spilling down her cheeks.

((Well, there are 4 characters (SD - Sarah, Dawn - Proud, Tiffany - Becky and Eve - Gabby) and they each have a power. We are in a house that the walls have just faded down and Tiffany has been scarred by Midnight Sun (the baddie!). I suppose you could jump in. Just go to the characters in the role play folder and add a character. Thanks))

SD's eyes seemed as if they might bulge out of their sockets, but she tried to remain calm.

Tiffany's hands were turning green. Not just a normal green, but a glowing green. The kind of green you only see in the brightest of glow sticks.

"Dawn!" she shrieked, choking back tears as Tiffany began sobbing even more hysterically. "Dawn, come quickly!!!"

Eve stared in horror as she watched the blood drain from SD's face. She rushed over and placed her arm around Tiffany;s shoulder, guiding her onto one of the soft couches in the lounge. She held onto her wrists and yelled out, fear vibrating in her voice as she called to Dawn, Howard and SD.
"It's spreading up her arms!" she shrieked, dropping Tiffany's hands as the glow reached her clasping fingers.
The others rushed into the room, and Howard gasped, his eyes widening. Dawn crouched at Eve's side and examined Tiffany's hands, her fingers trembling.
"Everyone," she called out in a shaky voice. "Put...put your hands over mine" she commanded, a trace of her former confidence returning to her voice.
She moved her hands to cover Tiffany's, and the others obeyed, covering Tiffany's hands with their own. Tiffany's breath hitched in her throat.
"Try to direct all of your powers into your hands," Dawnykazira said, "Without using them outwardly" she told them, with an eyebrow cocked at Eve, who ducked her head. "We don't want anybody's hands burned off"
"Can we please not talk about hands being burnt off?" said Tiffany, who looked close to breaking down.
"Sorry" Dawn said, with a guilty glance at Eve. There was a tense silence as they all concentrated on their powers. At some point, Dawn started chanting in an ancient sounding-language, her voice vibrating with power. When she had finished, they all lifted their hands away from Tiffany's, desperate to know if their magic had saved her.

Tiffany had her eyes closed. She didn't want to see her hand. What happened if it had fallen off?
"Tiffany, you can open your eyes now," said Dawn. Tiffany shook her head.
"Please. If you don't, Midnight Sun will get power over you and try and harm you again. Tiffany opened one eye and slowly turned her head. She looked at her hand and instantly threw up all over Dawn. She then started shaking uncontrollably. She stood up but collapsed back down on the lounge. Suddenly Tiffany opened her mouth and blue mist flew out.
"Get out of the room!" screamed SD. Everybody ran out of the room. Tiffany shook even more violently. The mist turned from blue to yellow to pink. After about an hour Tiffany stopped. SD, Dawn Eve and Howard had been sitting in the kitchen, occasionally peeking around the door. Tiffany opened her eyes and swallowed. She stood up and put her hands beside her side. She couldn't control herself. Suddenly she felt herself lifting off the ground. She started screaming. Her friends hurried into the room. When Eve came in she fainted. SD helped Eve while Dawn and Howard went to Tiffany's help. They starred up at Tiffany. Dawn jumped onto the lounge and tried to grab Tiffany's leg.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me," Tiffany said. She hadn't spoke for the last 2 hours and her voice felt dry. She coughed but suddenly she rose higher.
"OH MY GOD!" shouted Dawn. "You can fly!" Tiffany started to laugh.
"Thanks Midnight Sun," laughed Tiffany. With a jolt, Tiffany fell back down. She had lost complete control of her body. She was thrown around.
"Okay, you can't fly, Midnight Sun has taken over your body and is controlling it!"
Tiffany's face went pale and she swallowed.
"Guys, HELP!" she screamed.
"Just stay calm ," said Dawn. "I'm getting help." With that, Dawn ran through the barrier around the house and she was gone.

Eve's eyes flickered open to see SD staring, mouth agape, to the centre of the small space. Eve lifted her head slightly and stared with unfocused eyes at the scene that had erupted in the room. Blue, pink and yellow-tinged smoke was drifting around in the air and Tiffany was sprawled in a heap on the floor, groaning in a hoarse voice. Dawn was nowhere to be found and Howard was standing by the fireplace looking dazed and confused, much like Eve felt. She slowly managed to pull herself to her feet and began to walk shakily towards Tiffany. After a brief nod at Howard, he followed her over to the girl on the floor. As they reached Tiffany, Eve noticed that something wasn't quite right. Tiffany was...twitching. No, that wasn't right. It was more liked she was jerking about. As if she had invisible strings tied to her, and someone was yanking them in random succession. The thrashing became wilder. Eve gripped Tiffany's shoulders, attempting to hold her to the ground, but Midnight Sun's control had given Tiffany unnatural strength. Tiffany's leg, now completely out of her control, lashed out, connecting with Eve's stomach, throwing her across the room. She collided with a stone wall and fell in a heap on the ground. Her stomach felt like an elephant was sitting on it. She couldn't breath. Something warm and sticky was running through her hair and down her neck, while her head was pounding. Every part of her body screamed at her to stay still, to not move ever again. She felt desperate hands grip her arms, shaking her ever-so-slightly.
"Eve? Eve, are you ok? Can you hear me?" Howard's voice sounded in her ear, urgent and slightly fearful. He opened her eyelids, checking for signs that she was concious. Eve didn't resist, she didn't think she could if she tried.
"Oh Dawn..." Howard said quietly, worriedly. "Please hurry."

Tiffany blinked a couple of times and stood up. She felt awesome! She felt like nothing in the world could spoil her happiness! She laughed out loud and Eve, Howard and SD all stared at her.
"You're okay!" said SD and came and gave Tiffany a hug. She instantly pushed SD off. SD looked at her strangely. In the blink of an eye, Tiffany was gone.

((sorry it's so short, 2 minutes past midnight and i'm exhausted!))

"WE LOST HER!!!!!!" SD shrieked, hysterical. This wasn't normal behavior for her. There was rage in her eyes, and there was a palpable fear in the room.
Everyone was silent for a moment, nonplussed. The color drained from their faces, panic clearly visible on their faces. Howard, who was standing behind SD, turned a sickly green.
"Jessica!" He yelled at her.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!!!"
"I'm sorry..." he said hoarsely, until he could choke out the words, "your back!"
SD turned around frantically, trying to see her own back. "WHAT?!" she screamed, before running about the room, throwing herself at the walls.
Soon, the others could see what Howard saw.
Glowing handprints were on her arms, right where Tiffany touched her.

Tiffany woke up in a dark black room with only a slit on light. It ran across her body and she backed out so she was surrounded by blackness. She couldn't see anything in the room and she felt weak and sick. She lurched over and vomitted all over the floor. She shook violently. She fell back down on the floor and closed her eyes.
All of a suddenly she was being pulled, like a rope was tyed around her. She screamed but it burned her throat, she coughed and spat. She was stopped in a bright blinding light before she felt everything around her push against her body. She felt like someone was crushing her. Then she blacked out.

Eve's head was a ball of blazing, blinding pain. It felt like someone was trying to pull her brain out through her ear, splitting her skull open like a rotton egg. ((is that too graphic??)) Despite this, she managed to pull herself into a sitting position, while a small voice in the back of her mind, wondered, annoyed, why Howard wasn't helping her. She opened one eye slightly to take in the scene around her, before both flew open in surprise. There was no sign of Tiffany. Howard was standing by the couch with a look of pure terror on his face. And SD, she was where Tiffany had been the last time Eve had seen her. Two hand-shapes were imprinted on her arms. They glowed a familiar sickly green. Eve somehow staggered to her feet and stood, swaying, feeling nauseous and dizzy. Howard, finally noticing her, looked her up and down, then glanced at SD, who was still looking bewildered.
"Stay here" he said biting his lip, then disappeared into the kitchen. He came back within moments, holding a jar of deep purple powder. He screwed off the lid and pulled out a fistful of the mixture, which Eve noticed also had some kind of leaves through it.
"Close your eyes" he said, and Eve obeyed as Howard threw the power over her. The pain disappeared. Her body tingled, she stood steadily on her feet. She opened her eyes. Howard was already setting the jar on the coffee table, and looking worriedly at SD. Eve walked over and joined him.
"What would happen if we... if we touched it?" Eve asked, gesturing towards the glowing hand-prints.
"I don't know," Howard sighed, shaking his head, "I really don't know."
Eve reached out tentatively to place her hand on the mark.
"NO!" Howard shouted. He reached to swipe her hand away. But Eve's fingers were already on SD's arm. SD cried as Eve's body warped and distorted. She disappeared. Howard and SD stood in shock, staring at where Eve used to be.
"It was a trap," SD said wearily, "To take us to them."
Howard sighed, "You do know what we have to do, right?"
"I do"
And so, they both placed a hand each on SD's arms,shuddered slightly, and disappeared.

((That's fine Gabby, we wouldn't want all gross, blood guts stuff like that))

Tiffany opened her eyes and stared around the room she was in. She had been moved to a different room. Suddenly a pair of doors opened that she hadn't seen in the wall. SD, Eve and Howard came through. Tiffany ran towards them but stopped when she saw the guards behind them. She ran back to the spot she was sitting in. Then in a blink of an eye, Howard was fighting the guards off him and was kicking them all unconscious. Eve gestured to Tiffany to follow. Tiffany scrambled up and ran towards the group. They all clambered into a small room.
"Hold on tight!" said SD and clicked a big red button.
"WRONG ONE!" screamed Howard and suddenly the floor below them disappeared. Tiffany screamed as she fell and she heard her friends screaming too. Then they slid into a round yellow ball which started rolling down a hill. Howard, punctured the ball and tried to rip it apart. Then, water started seeping into the ball, rising higher and higher.

SD laughed lightly as she struggled to stay on her feet in the ball.

Something happened then.

Her eyes flashed red, her body glowed green. The small laughed turned into psychotic cackling. There was no lightness to the laugh anymore, and soon you couldn't even call it a laugh. It now resembled the screaming of banshees. She threw her body around the ball, screeching with a sort of demented pleasure.

The others, meanwhile, could only stare in horror and try to find out how to stop it.

But it was too late. The ball had already dropped and was bouncing off course. On the first bounce, SD flipped upside down within the ball and landed on her head.

Crrrrack!

An awful noise to hear.

She opened her eyes, very briefly, but enough to show everyone they were back to their original brown color. Replacing their previous state of insanity was a look of total fear.

"What's happening to me?" She whispered, blood trickling down her skull. "Help me!"

Tiffany watched in horror as blood ran down SD face, like a waterfall.
Tiffany rushed over to SD and put her hands around her. But not knowing about the burn marks from her hand, touched the hand prints.
"No!" screamed Eve. But it was too late. Tiffany was gone.

The ball gained speed as it shot down the slope. Water sloshed around, knocking the group around, disorientating them even further.
"Tiffany!" Eve screamed, "Tiffany!"
Eve, SD and Howard were flung over and around, as if they were stuck in some sort of crazy, yellow, washing machine. Suddenly, there was a flash of purple hair, glittering rainbow streaked eyes.
"Dawn!" SD yelled jubilantly, "Help us!"
Dawnyzkira didn't seem to be thrown around in the bubble like the others. It was more like she was hovering in the middle, spinning slowly, but never touched by the slippery yellow walls, or the icy cold, sloshing water that flew around the bubble.
"Hold onto each other!" she shouted, struggling to be heard over the yells and the roaring water. Eve stretched out her hand, felt the brush of skin, and held on tight. She felt a sharp jerk as Howard's body was stopped from flying into one of the smooth yellow walls. Eve reached with her other arm and quickly grabbed SD, bracing herself for the tug this time. SD and Howard joined hands as well, so that they were in a strange ring formation, holding on as well as they could whilst being tossed around in a swirling whirlwind of plastic and water.
"Hold on!" Dawn roared, and she grabbed onto Eves shoulder and shoved. Eve felt a quick jerk on her arms, but held on. They exploded from the ball, like a psychotic version of a chicken breaking from an egg. They tumbled down a lone, gently sloped, steel ramp inside a dark and seemingly endless world. At the bottom of the ramp was an opening, no doubt to catch and take them right back to Midnight Sun. Eve felt helpless. They were sliding straight into the waiting arms of their enemies. She felt a sudden wave of fury. No way. They couldn't have come this far for nothing. Just to lose Tiffany.
" SD! Grab my waist!" she yelled.
"Excuse me?" SD shouted in surprise.
"Just do it! Howard, hold onto SD's legs! Dawn, hold Howard's."
"Why!?" Dawn yelled, "Are you crazy?"
"Just trust me!"
Looking slightly alarmed, SD wrapped her arms around Eve's waist, with Howard and Dawn trailing from her legs. Eve summoned her power. A tingling ran through her skin. Brown fur sprouted. With seconds, Eve was no more, and in her place was a huge, brown grizzly bear. Eve roared and dug her claws into the metal below her. There was a hideous screech, and it felt like her claws would surely be ripped out, but eventually they slowed to a halt, hanging by Eve's claws.
"So..." SD said after a long period of silence, during which the yellow ball fell into the gaping hole at the base of the slope, "What now?"

"Dear gods, you guys", Dawn said, exasperated, clutching Howards legs so hard she was surprised the bones weren't breaking. "I leave for ten minutes. Ten minutes! And you manage to get yourselves into one of the biggest messes I've seen since the Trojan War. And where is Tiffany?!"
SD looked guiltily at the glowing green handprints. "Umm..."
Dawn gasped, "Seriously?"
Eve had changed back into her normal form. "Dawn, are you okay?"
"I'm not in the best mood", Dawnyzkira grumbled, glaring angrily into space, "my help wouldn't come. But I'll get Tiffany back, just give me a minute..." She started reaching for the handprints on SD's arms.
"No!", SD cried, jerking away, almost knocking them all off each other's legs. Dawnyzkira, surprisingly, started laughing.
"Don't worry", she said, "I'm immortal." She reached again for Tiffany's handprints on SD's arms, touched them, and disappeared.

((I just compiled our whole Roleplay into 1 word document. It's 19 pages long!))

((wow!! we should submit it to a publisher or something XD))

((That is really long... O___O))

((haha, well we should probably continue with the story now :P))

"Well, what do we do now?" Eve asked, her eyebrows furrowed in thought. She was able to let go of the slope without sliding down because the slope wasn't too steep, and they didn't have any momentum any more.
"I suppose the logical thing to do would be to get out of here," Howard suggested sarcastically.
"Oh, right," Eve replied embarrassed at asking such an obviously answered question. "Well...how?"
Now Howard wasn't so cocky.
"Umm...well we could...no...err," he stuttered, "I don't know. I mean, without Dawn, there's not much we can do."
Eve turned her attention to SD. "Where do you reckon we are?"
SD bit her lip. "I don't know, I doubt we're anywhere in the mortal universe though,"
Eve looked surprised. "There's more than one?"
"Only two," Howard put in, glad have one sure piece of information to cling to, "The Mortal and Immortal, y'know, like Gods and stuff, and they're both pretty vast."
"Well, how can we get back to the mortal universe then?" Eve asked, exasperated.
"Without Dawn? I don't know if we can," SD sighed.

Dawn, meanwhile, was searching through Olympus for Tiffany. Olympus, the capital of the Immortal universe, and the biggest city in any. The place of her birth. She looked to the temple on her right, the temple of her mother. Mother had taken her there many times, and told her of the night of her birth.
"It was a warm summer night," Mother Iris had always started, "the moon was clear and the stars shone. I'd been sitting in here, in my temple, next to the brazier. I felt you kick, then a sharp stab of pain. I knew it was time to give you to the world. I called to Artemis, my wonderful midwife, and she got me everything I needed. When it was all over, she handed you to me and said 'She's beautiful, Iris'. You didn't cry. You smiled. I looked down at you, my daughter, and found the perfect name. Dawnyzkira. For the light of dawn was glowing in your eyes."
Dawnyzkira fingered her necklace, a powerful amulet her mother had given her. She still didn't know what it did, but she always felt safer when she had it. She felt a tear drip down her cheek. Her mother never had time for her anymore. Nevertheless, she walked into the Temple of Iris.

It was the same as always, the bronze brazier for burnt offerings in middle, the stained-glass paintings covering the walls. When the sunlight (for there was sunlight in any universe) casted its light through the beautiful glass in early morning, rainbow flecks danced around the room. Dawn sat down on one of the benches that circled the brazier and put her head in her hands, thinking.
"Dawn?" The voice came from behind the brazier. Tiffany poked her head out from behind it. "Dawn!", she cried, running around the brazier to Dawn for a hug. "Oh Dawn, you won't believe what's happened!"
"I certainly do," replied Dawn, embracing Tiffany. "So," she said casually, "how do you like my birthplace?"
"It's brilliant!" said Tiffany, beaming, "The people are so nice, but they aren't exactly people. And the food is great, but one of the wind spirits told me not to eat the ambrosia and nectar or my blood will turn to fire, so don't worry, and didn't eat that. This place is so beautiful, Dawn, why'd you ever leave it?"
Dawn hoped that was rhetorical, 'cause she wasn't going to answer. "I need to take you back to the Mortal universe. Our friends are in danger."
The smile was wiped off Tiffany's face. "Why didn't you say so?" she cried, "Let's go!"
Dawn steadied herself and grabbed Tiffany's arm, but just as she was going to make the jump, Tiffany said "Wait".
"What?" Dawn asked. They needed to get going.
"Will we ever come back to this place? But with SD and Eve and Howard next time?"
Dawn smiled. "Sure," she said, and made the jump from one universe to the other.

When they got back, they had to hold on to Howard again to avoid falling down the slope, but Howard steadied them so they could both sit on the slope without having to cling to anything.
"So," Dawn said, "what did we miss?"

SD kept gaping and gestured next to a big blue box.

"Do you guys know what that is?! It's the flipping TARDIS!!!!" she said, clearly stunned. Howard did not look so impressed.

"So? I don't know how it got there, but haven't we seen stranger things?" he asked quizzically.

"No, Howard--" Dawn began to say, but she was interrupted when a man stepped out of the TARDIS.

The Doctor


((heheh....sorry guys... feel free to completely ignore this one XD))

((OH MY GOD OH MY GODD OHH MYY GODDD!!! THE DOCTOR IS IN OUR STORY!!! excuse me while i freak out and hyperventilate and have hysteria and all that))

The man stepped down from his TARDIS and almost fell down the slope, but Dawn steadied him just in time. "Oh," he said, disoriented, then focused on Dawnyzkira, "Oh! My Lady, a pleasure to see you again." He took her hand and kissed it, which made Howard visably miffed. Dawnyzkira blushed, and her cheeks turned a soft golden hue, for the blood of Immortals was golden ichor.

HAHA!))

Tiffany couldn't believe! THE DOCTOR WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF HER!
"Oh my god!" Tiffany said. "I am your biggest fan!"
Tiffany ran to the kitchen. She looked through the draws until she found a pen and paper. She raced back into the living room and held them out.
"Um..." said the Doctor taking the piece of paper. He placed in on the table and scribbled a signature of it. Tiffany squealed in delight.
"Go grab the camera Eve," Tiffany said. Eve ran into the study and grabbed it.
Tiffany stood next to the Doctor. He smiled weakly and turned towards the camera.

"GUYS!!!" Dawn said, "Is this really the time?!"
"It's... it's... The Doctor!" SD said.
"We're in the middle of a crisis, now is certainly NOT the time to be taking pictures!"
Tiffany, Eve, and SD were crestfallen. SD pressed her hands together and silently begged Dawn to let them have just one picture.
"Oh, fine." Dawn said. She stood next to Eve and SD while Howard took their picture. She stared at the Doctor and smiled. "Still wearing the bowtie, I see."
"Of course I am." He said, without missing a beat. "Bowties are cool."

"They definitely are!" agreed Tiffany and she grabbed one, that just happened to be sitting on the table. She put it on then faced the doctor.
"You look amazing with that on!" he exclaimed. She blushed

"All right... enough of this." said Dawn, stepping between them all. "The world is in danger and you are comparing bow-tie's

((Ugh, did we have to bring Doctor Who into this?))

((Yep!!))

((ewwwwwwwww... can my character at least hate him? Pwease????))

((Sure))

((oh gabby, if only you liked him...))
Then Dawn smiled and whirled her finger in the air, giving herself a bowtie as well. The Doctor stared at her and smiled.
"What?" she said defensively, "Bowties are cool."
The Doctor smiled wider and put an arm around her shoulders. Howard glared at him doing this.
"Well", the Doctor said, "it seems you guys have a problem I can help you with."

((Lol no...but I suppose we could pick it back up again =). And nope-a-doodles, you don't have to get it approved, just start writing! =D))

{I don't even think I was ever a part of this...}

((It was sorta in the early days of Random Ramblings ;D))
