• Victim fell victim to his own stupidity, and he fell into a deep sleep. By the time he awoke, it was midday, and the tide was nearly up to his neck. "Phawgh!" he leaps up, spitting sand out of his mouth. Apparently he'd rolled about in his sleep, and he was now completely covered in a hard mud. Stupid beaches! He looked down at himself. He was a small boy, no older than 14 or 15, and wore old fashioned clothing. His faded pants were well-worn and rolled up to his high calf. His reddish vest was all that covered his torso, and he kept his arms bare, save the two metallic bangles. He kept a small dagger in a waterproof sheath, where it was easy to reach. He rubbed his thumb over that idly now, looking at his surroundings. Now then, what was he supposed to do...? -- Victim?, 15:56:12 01/16/05 Sun
• Aena loved the smell of the beach. It was a salty smell, but she loved it. She walked in the water for awhile, the walked along the beach. She picked up a pretty shell and put it in her pocket. She started to run. She loved to run on the beach. Other people didn't like the feeling, but Aena love it. She ran and accidentaly tripped on Victim. She hit the ground hard and grouned. She suddenly looked up. ~What about the person I tripped on? I hope he, or she, is okay.~ She thought. She looked at Victim. "Are you okay?" She asked. (NT) -- Aena, 16:11:34 01/16/05 Sun
• "Oww..." Victim picked himself up, brushing himself off and shaking his head. Sand fell from his brown hair. He looked up at the elf, "Yeah, I'm fine...but...Sheesh, shouldn't you watch your step a bit more? What're you doing here, anyway?" (NT) -- Victim?, 16:15:39 01/16/05 Sun
• "I came here to play in water." Aena sat down on the sand and watched the waves roll in. She shook her head. "What are you doing here?" She asked Victim. (NT) -- Aena, 16:27:51 01/17/05 Mon
  • "Funny thing...I'm not sure anymore. Weird, huh? I've been sitting here and waiting for so long that I have no idea why I'm here at all. It's frustrating." Victim dug his toes a little deeper into the warm sand. He looks at Aena for a moment, and appeared to have reached a decision. Standing up and brushing himself off in one quick moment, he offers a hand to Aena, "Well, why don't we go play?" (NT) -- Victim?, 12:58:26 01/18/05 Tue
• Aena took his hand and stood up. "Play what?" She asked. She didn't normaly play games, but she could make an exeption now and then. (NT) -- Aena, 16:03:04 01/20/05 Thu
• Victim shrugs, "You're the one who suggested playing in the water, right?" He reaches into the sand and searches for a flat rock, "I don't see beaches very often," he lied, "So I'm not sure what to do. We could just walk or something." he tosses the rock and watches as it skips several times on the water. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he high steps into the water. "Well, anyway, I don't quite know your name. I'm Victim. Victim Mayhem." (NT) -- Victim?, 19:17:03 01/23/05 Sun
• "I'm Aena Longbranch. Nice to meet you." She follows him into the water and laughs when the water touches her skin. The water felt good. She splashes some water on Victim playfully. (NT) -- Aena, 17:45:24 01/24/05 Mon
• If Aena or Victim care to look they can see a dark shape floating on the surf. As it gets closer it can be discerned as someone clinging to a small piece of wood. (NT) -- Someone, 05:16:09 01/27/05 Thu
• Victim laughs and kicks a few waves at Aena. He casts a casual glance outwards, towards the open sea. He stops moving and squints his eyes, staring hard at the object. He looks terrified, "Oh no..." without another word, he swims hard towards the person. Victim is clearly an advanced swimmer, as he reaches the person within a minute, and manages to drag them (wood and all) back to shore without looking hindered. During the return trip he tries to wake the person up, "Hey, hey! What happened? You with us? Hey! We didn't crash, did we?" He gets a closer look at the clothes, "Oh. You may not be a member..." (NT) -- Victim?, 11:18:33 01/29/05 Sat
• OOC: Hello there. BIC: The boy (I guess you probably would've figured this out as you dragged him ashore) was wearing baggy pants rolled up around the calfs and a loose white shirt that laced up near the neck. He stirred slightly when hearing a voice but remained in a state of semi-consciousness. He appears to be roughly fourteen. A silver chain peeks out from the top of his shirt and a medalion of interlocking squares can be discerned through the wet shirt. The boy's sleeves have been rolled up to above the elbow and on his right fore-arm there is a black brand of lightning across a crescent moon. The boy's sandy blonde hair clings to his face and as his eyes flutter open to reveal dark blue eyes turned silver in the sunlight. The boy turns his head to look at the boy nearest him, "Where am I?" (NT) -- Someone, 20:04:55 01/29/05 Sat
  • "The beach, boy. You're on a beach. A beach at Carnerik, to be precise. What's your name?" Victim sounds as nice as possible, but his eyes saw the brand and stayed there. His eyes furrow as he thinks furiously. He looks at Aena, then back to the boy. His tone changes as he asks the next question, "What happened out there?" (NT) -- Victim?, 11:29:03 01/30/05 Sun
• "Carnerik," the boy said trying the unfamiliar name on his tongue. The boy sat up and massaged his wrists, they was a two inch space on each wrist that was red and raw. The boy hesitated a moment before continuing "I'm Darmarian. I go by Dar though. There was a storm...the ship I was on...it er... sank...I guess. Who are you two?" (NT) -- Dar, 13:22:41 01/30/05 Sun
  • The friendly boy noticed the writs, but elected not to question them. He paled noticeably when he heard about the ship, "WHAT?! You...you weren't..." he leans closer, "you weren't on Captain Kinere's ship, were ya?" After a moment he shakes his head, "Nah, just nod if ya were. I'm in big trouble if that thing sank early..." he leans back and speaks louder, "I'm Victim. Don't laugh at my title, please. I tend to have a short temper about it. My friend here is uh...well, I'll let her introduce herself. Ain't my place to intrude upon a lady like that." OOC: Dar, huh? I know I've read that name before...Shoot, it was a good book, too. All well. Dar might want to take a gander inside, tho'. -- Victim?, 21:14:23 01/31/05 Mon
    • OOC: Inside please. I can't really post until we clear some things up. -- Dar, 06:36:12 02/01/05 Tue
    • OOC: Alright, you should check inside too. -- Victim?, 12:26:54 02/02/05 Wed
• OOC: Hey Aena's player could you check out the OOC board. i was just wondering if you wanted to play another character cause we need another and i have an idea you might like to hear. (NT) -- Ellendil, 09:23:56 02/01/05 Tue
• "Captain Kinere's ship? No. I've never even heard of it." Dar stared out to sea. In truth the ship hadn't sunk. He had to get away. These two looked friendly enough but he had learned long ago that appearances are often deceiving and he did not trust easily. (Inside) -- Dar, 05:03:03 02/03/05 Thu
  • Victim resists heaving a huge sigh of relief. Kinere was okay! No news had to be good news. Instead of celebrating, he looks back to Dar, "Well, I am sorry that your ship has sunk. Should we look for other survivors? I have a fishing boat docked not too far away." he speaks as gently as he can, but he's blunt, nonetheless. (Inside again) -- Victim?, 07:04:43 02/03/05 Thu
    • ((Wow. Typos are embarrassing.)) (NT) -- Victim's Creator, 07:06:07 02/03/05 Thu
    • Dar looked hesitant. He never wanted to see those people again and he wasn't about to go looking for them. If they found him then he'd wind up back where he started. "I've been drifting for days. There weren't any other survivors." he said finally. -- Dar, 09:01:22 02/03/05 Thu
  • Victim shrugs, "Well, maybe we can go fishing later anyway." He takes one more glance out towards the setting sun, estimating the time until it fell completely under the horizon. A storm would be troublesome...but if this Dar fellow really had been drifting for that long, it shouldn't be a problem. "I'm glad the sharks didn't get you, Dar. Do you need medical attention, or just a bit of rest?" as he speaks, he reaches into his puch and hauls out a small flask and a few dry crackers. Wordlessly, he hands them to the castaway. -- Victim?, 15:13:22 02/03/05 Thu
    • "Oh I'm alright." Dar said accepting the flask and crackers "Thanks." he begins to munch on crackers and drink from the flask almost ravenously. -- Dar, 05:27:29 02/04/05 Fri
• Aena, while the boys where talking, was skipping about in the water. She laughed when water hit her face and looked at the boys deep in conversition. She saw a large flat rock on the ground and picked it up. She examend the rock and found swiggle like writing on one side. "Hmm." She said. She stuffed it into her pocket and came over to the boys just in time to hear Dar say "Thanks." She knew she should feel sorry for the boy since he did wash ashore from a shunken ship, but for some odd reason, she felt suspious. -- Aena, 17:37:27 02/04/05 Fri
  • "Ah, Aena, there you are!" Victim stands and brushes himself off. He waves a hand towards the new washout, "This is Dar. He's a survivor from a ship-wreck, in case you hand't guessed." Victim turns back to see that the 'ravenous' Dar had eaten most of his supplies. He scratches his head nervously, "Err...I needed to stock up again anyway." He looks out to the now nearly-set sun. An idea strikes him, "Hey! Why don't we have dinner down by the docks? I've got a pretty nice setup there, and the food is fresh. It's enough for a 4-month voyage, so there's plently of grub! Whaddya say?" (NT) -- Victim?, 17:51:48 02/04/05 Fri
• Dar finished off the remainder of the flask and crackers. Then handed the flask back to Victim. "Dinner? Why not?" He still felt extremely nervous but it had been a while since he'd had a decent meal. -- Dar, 15:49:41 02/06/05 Sun
  • "Great! C'mon, Aena, I'll race ya both to the docks!" Victim takes off down the beach, and the sun sinks lower into the sky. OOC: I'm waiting for Aena to post before actually posting docks. If you'd like, Dar, we can have a chat while running. -- Victim., 19:02:38 02/07/05 Mon
• OOC: Sounds good. BIC: Dar jumps to his feet and races next to Victim, following his lead. "You said this place is Carnerik. I've never heard of it before. I'd ask where it was but I'm not very good with directions." Dar's feet splashed through the breaking surf and the salty wind began to dry his clothes. He smiled, /So this is what it's like to be free/ he thought to himself. (NT) -- Dar, 05:10:02 02/08/05 Tue
• Aena took off after Victim, sprinting at great speed. She thought about the rock in her pocket. She would look at it when she got to the docks and had time to wait for Victim. -- Aena, 14:35:38 02/08/05 Tue
• Aena looked back to see if the boys where keeping up, and ran into a post. "Omff" Her breath whooshed out and she fell down. Shaking her head she got up. She felt dizzy and felt her head. A thin trickle of blood spilt over a small cut on her forehead. She wiped away the blood and looked back at the boys behind her. -- Aena, 14:47:57 02/08/05 Tue
• Dar caught up with Aena and knelt in the sad beside her "Are you alright?" He then glance up to see what this post was that she had run into. -- Dar, 05:15:13 02/09/05 Wed
• "Yeah, I'm fine." Aena said to Dar. "Thanks for asking." She pulled out the rock and looked closely at the markings. -- Aena, 17:42:08 02/09/05 Wed
• Dar looked back at Aena and offered her a hand to help her up, not noticing the rock. -- Dar, 04:59:08 02/10/05 Thu
  • victim had fallen behind, not really paying attention to anything. He jerked back into reality when he heard Aena hit the post. Letting Dar run ahead, he jogged up to her. Victim took a deep breath, but didn't appear worried or tired in any way. He glanced at the wound, and then at the rock. The cut didn't look too deep, so he wasn't concerned. "What's that?" he asks, pointing to the small item. -- Victim?, 10:37:30 02/10/05 Thu
• After Victim's statement Dar finds his attention drawn to the strange rock. He waits for Aena's reply. -- Dar, 05:07:23 02/11/05 Fri
  • OOC:...Which should be arriving Tuesday night, apparently. (NT) -- Victim's Player, 08:18:14 02/14/05 Mon
• "This?" Aena held up the small rock. "I found it on the beach. I don't know what it it. Here, you can look at it." Aena handed the rock to Victim. "You might be able to read the squggles. I couldn't" -- Aena, 12:41:04 02/15/05 Tue
  • Waits for Victim's verdict. (NT) -- Dar, 05:00:39 02/17/05 Thu
  • OOC: Augh. BIC: Victim takes the rock casually and affords a glance. He squints, making a great show of turning the rock every which way and holding it up to the light. After a while he shrugs, "Nah, I can't. It might just be scribbles, it might be too worn to read. Mind if I hang on to it anyway? Sure is a pretty lil' specimen." (NT) -- Victim?, 08:28:58 02/18/05 Fri
    • OOC: hey, you guys don't know me, but I was wondering if I might jpin up with your little group, our charactors are about the same age and this looks really interesting) (NT) -- Flame, 15:04:57 02/19/05 Sat
• OOC: I think it would be fun to have another char. join. So it's fine by me. BIC: "Well should we keep going then?" Dar asked (NT) -- Dar, 08:39:38 02/20/05 Sun
  • OOC: sure where are you going? I'lll try to show up there, or I could just be walking on the beach, how bout that? (NT) -- Flame, 12:35:05 02/20/05 Sun
  • OOC: Didn't you say on the OOC board that you had already joined something else? (NT) -- Dar, 13:29:08 02/20/05 Sun
    • OOC:I did by accidenr but they said i could leave so i did. can i come a walkin' now! (NT) -- Flame, 16:47:10 02/20/05 Sun
  • OOC: Sure, it's no biggie. Be hanging around the docks, and you'll meet us. We're at the dock now. In fact...now that I'm not a slacker and I'm posting, I'll be moving us to the docks. We should caution you Flame, that not everyone posts often. There may be a few pauses. BIC: "Well, Aena, you don't look hurt. C'mon! I wanna check on my boat before the sun sets completely! Let's go!" He then dashes to the dock, not waiting for anyone to race him. (NT) -- Victim?, 18:18:38 02/20/05 Sun
• OCC: Hey, sorry for butting in, but mind if I join too? I don't post too frequently, like Aena, but this thread looks pretty interesting. (NT) -- Lark, 09:42:59 02/21/05 Mon
• Aena puts the rock in her pocket and starts off after Victim. She could hear a ringing in her head that was probebly from her ungraceful crash, so she shook her head. She glanced back to make sure that Dar was following. OOC: Sure you can join, Lark! It would be fun to have more people! (NT) -- Aena, 20:30:06 02/21/05 Mon
