Town (Day 1)
Feel free to make posts for houses/other locations within town (or anywhere else that you think needs one!)
Zavier, Lior and Penny decide to take a look around town and see who all the other people are.
@zavier-untrust-au @pennyfew-untrustau
Zavier walks around with Lior and Penny, trying to better understand the layout of this place and see if there's anyone else who has shown up here.
The town is definatly a mess as xe noticed when they first arrived with Lior, it's in a state of ruin, it looks barely habitable, but there are traces that others have also been here recently.
It's quite strange that so many people seemed to show up today, why? It dosen't make much sense, this place was supposed to be abandoned after all, surely not everyone was running from somthing like I am?
Xhyr train of thought is cut off as they notice a mostly intact structrure in the center of town, just as a feeling of warmth washes over them, xe... xe dosen't like that feeling, it's warm but unsettling.
They point out the structure to thier compainion, "maybe we should look in there? it looks to be a centeral building of somesort?š
@pennyfew-untrustau @untrust-au-lior
(then i think it's @cheeto8 @untrust-nessie @violet-untrust-au @aster-amaryllis-mystfall at the beacon)
(this may be a big group to interact with at once as well, so we could split into smaller groups or they could go somewhere else in town)
«Sounds good, maybe there'll be actually something useful inside, instead of some dusty ol' book.»
@zavier-untrust-au @untrust-au-lior
Lior, who still doesn't feel like talking just nods and follows the others.
@pennyfew-untrustau @zavier-untrust-au
@cheeto8 @untrust-nessie @violet-untrust-au @aster-amaryllis-mystfall
(ok going to disregard my last ic post for sake of Being Involved /na)
Inside the central building is a person with tan skin, brown hair that seems to be a bit unkempt with a streak of magenta, magenta eyes and a soldier uniform.
In front of him is what looks to be a beacon, warm and in all its glory.
He picks up the sound of footsteps, and he looks back over his shoulder and spots Lior, Penny, and Zavier.
How many people are in this town??
I don't know, but I'll handle this.
He doesn't greet them, but instead narrows his eyes. "Who are you lot?"
@zavier-untrust-au @pennyfew-untrustau
Lior steps to the front and tries to look at least a little imposing: "Friends, we are friends and we don't mean any harm.", They calm their nerves somewhat after and add, "Name's Lior, nice to meet you"
(ooc: Frido stayed at L&Zs house so he isn't here)
@pennyfew-untrustau @zavier-untrust-au @untrust-nessie
@cheeto8 @aster-amaryllis-mystfall @violet-untrust-au
"I'm Zavier" ze says, from where they stand slightly behind Lior as they take in the newcomer, "Do... Do you know what this is?" They say looking at the glowing beacon with confusion, it's unlike anything they've seen before, xe doesn't think they like it
@untrust-au-lior @untrust-nessie @pennyfew-untrustau
His eyes narrow, and his lips seem to curl in a little as if baring teeth, but he realizes Lior's likely more able to overpower them due to the injury in his side, and he backs down.
"I don't know what it is. I don't trust it, I think neither should you. I do not trust it at all. I don't know anything." She's extremely insistent, and that makes him only look suspicious, but she is being genuine.
A glint in her eyes seems to change, and she clears her throat. "...Nessie Flowers, I'm Nessie Flowers." The name doesn't feel entirely right, something more feminine like Molly would work better, but his name is Nessie Flowers.
@pennyfew-untrustau @untrust-au-lior @zavier-untrust-au
Penny simply waves «I'm Penny, nice to meet ya.» She enter the half-destroyed central building, and gently taps the glass of the beacon, looking for some kind of reaction. When there's none, She shrugs. «I heard some rich people do not have candles, but use something called electricity, which lights up things without any fire: maybe this is something similar?»
@zavier-untrust-au @untrust-nessie @untrust-au-lior
Lior squints at the beacon not seeming fully convinced by Pennys explenation. They shrug: "I'm not so sure 'bout that. We, me and Zavier I mean, found something like this on the way here, only that one wasn't lit. Besides seems like an odd place for a big light like this. It would just light up the tower if it was still whole, thats an awfull lot of effort for something ypu could just as easily use a torch for.", they turn towards the beacon again and eye it suspicously and then back to Penny, "Then again rich folk aren't exactly known for their efficency."
@zavier-untrust-au @pennyfew-untrustau @untrust-nessie
(Also tagging @cheeto10 @violet-untrust-au @aster-amaryllis-mystfall bc I think they are also at the beacon)
"maybe... maybe it's like the book that disappeared..?" Xe says, looking to Lior and Penny
Their breathing is slightly faster in here, it's been a long day and a lot to wrap their head around, they came here for somewhere quiet, and they've found anything but that. And now there's this weird glowing thing that feels almost stifling to be this close to.
@untrust-au-lior @pennyfew-untrustau @untrust-nessie
(@cheeto10 @aster-amaryllis-mystfall @violet-untrust-au)
«I dunno, it seems a bit too solid to turn into dust, and It's not making anybody sneeze. It doesn't seem dangerous, i say we can safely ignore it, if we want.» Penny turns to Zavier, a bit worried: it's not normal for a person to be so scared of everything new, is it? She tries to think about something calming and reassuring to say, but closes her mouth immediately. She's not good at this kind of stuff. Instead, she comes up with a more practical idea, her kind of approach «I still have the book Lior gave me, y'know? If you want, i can try to read it, and, if i still feel normal afterwards, it means the dust on yours simply didn't sit well with ya. What do ya think?»
@zavier-untrust-au @untrust-au-lior @untrust-nessie
( @cheeto10 @aster-amaryllis-mystfall @violet-untrust-au if they want to join.)
âYou found a book?â Riley asks. They wouldnât have expected there to be a bookstore or library nearby in such an abandoned town. âErâ Iâm sorry, I donât mean to intrude on your conversationâŠâ
@pennyfew-untrustau @zavier-untrust-au @untrust-au-lior @untrust-nessie
( @aster-amaryllis-mystfall @violet-untrust-au )
Lior is a bit suprised by Riley because they had been watching Zavier rather intently to make sure xe was okay. Once they adjust they turn to her: "Oh no worries we were just talking about a few odd things around here. Old books in monuments of some sort and these weird things." They gesture to the beacon.
@zavier-untrust-au (ooc: I think my thing about Lior asking Zavier if they should go back to the house got a bit lost. So we could either say Zavier is just a little slow to respond rn bc of stress or we just act like it didn't happen. I'm good with either)
@pennyfew-untrustau @untrust-nessie @cheeto10
(@aster-amaryllis-mystfall @violet-untrust-au)
Aster looks up from where she was petting The Scientist, their interest piqued. "You have books?" They realize suddenly that she hasn't introduced herself. "Oh, sorry! I didn't even say hello. I'm Aster-" she hesistates for a second- "Aster Mystfall. I'm a librarian, so," they laugh awkwardly, "I like books."
@cheeto10 @pennyfew-untrustau @untrust-au-lior @zavier-untrust-au @untrust-nessie ( @violet-untrust-au )
«Oh, hi, i'm Penny! And yeah, we found an old book in some kind of big tomb, with skeletons and stuff, but it turned to dust as soon as Zavier tried to read it. Though Lior gave me a similar one.» Penny extracts the old tome from her bag «It's called, uh...» Penny squints, reading the words slowly as if she had troubles decyphering the letters «The... Way... of... the land. The way of the land, yes! Might be something about mining.»
@cheeto10 @untrust-au-lior @zavier-untrust-au @untrust-nessie @aster-amaryllis-mystfall ( @violet-untrust-au )
It's hard to think in here, Penny's taking out the other book now, there's so many things going on, I could leave, I should leave, but... I really don't want to be alone.
Xe takes a step towards Lior "you mentioned checking on Frido?" Xe says, words quiet and rushed"
They feel bad, all of these people seem nice, and xe would like to like to get to know them, but this.. thing in the middle of the room, it's overwhelming, not necessarily a bad feeling but it's alot, and it's been a long day, xe would like to be somewhere that feels less stifling in this moment.
@untrust-au-lior @pennyfew-untrustau @untrust-nessie @cheeto10 @aster-amaryllis-mystfall
"Yeah, lets go" Lior and Zavier make their way back to the house
@pennyfew-untrustau @untrust-nessie @cheeto10 @aster-amaryllis-mystfall @zavier-untrust-au
âAlright, see you guys later,â Riley says to Zavier and Lior, waving goodbye. They turn back to Penny, looking a bit confused. âYou said you took a book from a⊠tomb? Were you⊠visiting someone, orâŠ?â
@pennyfew-untrustau @aster-amaryllis-mystfall

( @aster-amaryllis-mystfall @violet-untrust-au )
The ⊠beacon filled up with golden light, and sent a shining stream up into the hole in the roof of the building she was in. What a strange sightâŠ
It makes me feel quite light-headed.
How queerâŠ
She stumbled, and fell back into herself, back out of that glowing beam.
She stumbled, and fell to the floor. Her cane clattered loudly against the stones underneath her.
Youâve fallen. Youâve collapsed again. It was only a matter of time, youâve over-exerted yourself today.
How embarrassing. I might need to find somewhere to sit down. Those others in here are probably still in their conversation. They seemed busy⊠talking.
@cheeto10 @kismet-tal-untrust-au
Riley looked over at the crash. âOh my gosh, are you okay?â They glanced at the beacon, then back to Rosalia. âWait, why is it doing that? What just happened?â
@kismet-tal-untrust-au
I just fell. Iâll be ok in a minute though⊠Might need to sit down somewhere for a⊠a while.
Why do they care why do they care why do they care
They just met me. Iâll be fine.
@cheeto10 @kismet-tal-untrust-au
@violet-untrust-au @untrust-nessie (you two couldâve heard a loud crash and come to check it out?)
Footsteps come from outside the tower, and two people (@violet-untrust-au) rush on in.
One of them was a tan-skinned, brown-haired person with a magenta streak in his hair. He had vivid magenta eyes that seemed to not fully meet the surfaces in front of her, and she was in navy blue militia-wear with discoloured patches. There seemed to be an especially discoloured patch on its side, tinted a dark red. Could be dirt, could be something else.
Nessie seemed a bit shaken from the sound of the crash, but seemed to be alright.
But she didn't speak, opting to let Violet do so.
The girl on the floor looks up in surprise. Two more people? How abandoned is this place?
What are they here for? Dinner?
Oh yeah normal people care when strangers get hurt. They care. They care. They care. Get it in your head. You are the anomaly.
@violet-untrust-au @untrust-nessie @cheeto10 @kismet-tal-untrust-au
Violet barely noticed the person who stumbled over due to the sudden overwhelming presence that seemed hit her. Looking ahead she noticed the large yellow-orange cube. It looks almost identical to the one she saw by the lake.
Yet this one had its entire surface completely converted. And it was definitely giving off some kind of magic. Going by the colour and aura that it was giving off her best guess was that it was holy magic.
" woah... thats unlike anything I have ever seen." Violet said, looking at the beacon.
She then suddenly became aware of the other person in the room.
"oh hi! Uhhhh Riley right?" Violet said " sorry for leaving that conservation so abruptly."
She swore she recognizes them from somewhere. Oh well that is for future Violet to figure out.
Gosh she has to figure out what is happening with this town.
( ooc I have no idea how this interaction is going to f up the timeline but im just going to go with it i guess)
@untrust-nessie @cheeto10
@aster-amaryllis-mystfall ( if you want to join in here)
The Scientist leaps out of Aster's arms as they walk into town, racing over to investigate the glowing cube of light. Aster follows her, looking anxious. They reach into their faded leather satchel to try and see if she can lure the cat back with another fish, but she doesn't have any left. There are people around the beacon. Aster doesn't know if she's ready to deal with people, but they'll have to sooner or later. Might as well be now.
She hopes they like cats.
âOhâ yeah, youâre Violet right?â Riley says before seeing The Scientist and getting distracted. They sit on the ground and slowly approach the cat until she lets them pet her.
(Ooc: if you want we can say this happens after kismet and rosalia leave to go pick a house and find somewhere for rosalia to sit down?)
@violet-untrust-au @aster-amaryllis-mystfall
Aster's footsteps slow further as she approaches the beacon, but her anxiety slightly eases as one of the people around it greets The Scientist with gentle affection. That's a good sign. They crouch down nearby. "...Hello," they offer quietly. "I'm Aster. And that's The Scientist."
(Ooc: sorry for the late reply!!)
âOh, hey!â Riley says quietly so as not to scare The Scientist. âIâm Riley. This is your cat? Sheâs so cute!â
(ooc: its totally fine dont worry about it :))
@aster-amaryllis-mystfall @violet-untrust-au
"It's nice to meet you," Aster said, smiling slightly. "Yes, she is! Thank you."
Riley smiles as The Scientist rubs her face on their hand. âIâve always wanted a cat,â they said. âAre you from around here?â
"Not really," Aster answers, smiling down at The Scientist. "I've been in the area for some time, but I'm from the capital. Are you from around here?" She looks around, taking in the town's state of disrepair. Hopefully they don't live here. She doubts it, but you never know.
âNo, Iâm from a town pretty far from here,â Riley says. âI didnât even know this place existed before I got here. I wouldnât have expected there to be so many people here. Someone I was talking to earlier seemed to know a bit about this place, and apparently there was some massacre here two hundred years agoâŠâ they look around anxiously at the ruins.

Aster's footsteps slow further as she approaches the beacon, but her anxiety slightly eases as one of the people around it greets The Scientist with gentle affection. That's a good sign. They crouch down nearby. "...Hello," they offer quietly. "I'm Aster. And that's The Scientist."
(Ooc: sorry for the late reply!!)
âOh, hey!â Riley says quietly so as not to scare The Scientist. âIâm Riley. This is your cat? Sheâs so cute!â
(ooc: its totally fine dont worry about it :))
@aster-amaryllis-mystfall @violet-untrust-au
"It's nice to meet you," Aster said, smiling slightly. "Yes, she is! Thank you."
Riley smiles as The Scientist rubs her face on their hand. âIâve always wanted a cat,â they said. âAre you from around here?â
The ⊠beacon filled up with golden light, and sent a shining stream up into the hole in the roof of the building she was in. What a strange sightâŠ
It makes me feel quite light-headed.
How queerâŠ
She stumbled, and fell back into herself, back out of that glowing beam.
She stumbled, and fell to the floor. Her cane clattered loudly against the stones underneath her.
Youâve fallen. Youâve collapsed again. It was only a matter of time, youâve over-exerted yourself today.
How embarrassing. I might need to find somewhere to sit down. Those others in here are probably still in their conversation. They seemed busy⊠talking.
@cheeto10 @kismet-tal-untrust-au
Riley looked over at the crash. âOh my gosh, are you okay?â They glanced at the beacon, then back to Rosalia. âWait, why is it doing that? What just happened?â
@kismet-tal-untrust-au
I just fell. Iâll be ok in a minute though⊠Might need to sit down somewhere for a⊠a while.
Why do they care why do they care why do they care
They just met me. Iâll be fine.
@cheeto10 @kismet-tal-untrust-au
@violet-untrust-au @untrust-nessie (you two couldâve heard a loud crash and come to check it out?)
Footsteps come from outside the tower, and two people (@violet-untrust-au) rush on in.
One of them was a tan-skinned, brown-haired person with a magenta streak in his hair. He had vivid magenta eyes that seemed to not fully meet the surfaces in front of her, and she was in navy blue militia-wear with discoloured patches. There seemed to be an especially discoloured patch on its side, tinted a dark red. Could be dirt, could be something else.
Nessie seemed a bit shaken from the sound of the crash, but seemed to be alright.
But she didn't speak, opting to let Violet do so.
The girl on the floor looks up in surprise. Two more people? How abandoned is this place?
What are they here for? Dinner?
Oh yeah normal people care when strangers get hurt. They care. They care. They care. Get it in your head. You are the anomaly.
@violet-untrust-au @untrust-nessie @cheeto10 @kismet-tal-untrust-au
Violet barely noticed the person who stumbled over due to the sudden overwhelming presence that seemed hit her. Looking ahead she noticed the large yellow-orange cube. It looks almost identical to the one she saw by the lake.
Yet this one had its entire surface completely converted. And it was definitely giving off some kind of magic. Going by the colour and aura that it was giving off her best guess was that it was holy magic.
" woah... thats unlike anything I have ever seen." Violet said, looking at the beacon.
She then suddenly became aware of the other person in the room.
"oh hi! Uhhhh Riley right?" Violet said " sorry for leaving that conservation so abruptly."
She swore she recognizes them from somewhere. Oh well that is for future Violet to figure out.
Gosh she has to figure out what is happening with this town.
( ooc I have no idea how this interaction is going to f up the timeline but im just going to go with it i guess)
@untrust-nessie @cheeto10
@aster-amaryllis-mystfall ( if you want to join in here)
The Scientist leaps out of Aster's arms as they walk into town, racing over to investigate the glowing cube of light. Aster follows her, looking anxious. They reach into their faded leather satchel to try and see if she can lure the cat back with another fish, but she doesn't have any left. There are people around the beacon. Aster doesn't know if she's ready to deal with people, but they'll have to sooner or later. Might as well be now.
She hopes they like cats.
âOhâ yeah, youâre Violet right?â Riley says before seeing The Scientist and getting distracted. They sit on the ground and slowly approach the cat until she lets them pet her.

Rose perks up a little like she heard something, but no itâs the people just coming in the ruined tower that she noticed.
@kismet-tal-untrust-au
âWhatâs your name?â Kismet asked
Rosalina, and yours?
Theyâve a bit of an odd vibe
@kismet-tal-untrust-au @violet-untrust-au @cheeto10 @untrust-nessie
âKismet Talâ
The lycanthrope can tell
⊠could you help me up,⊠Kismet?
Or just stare at me on the floor like Iâm a taxidermised butterfly. Thatâs fine too.
@kismet-tal-untrust-au
(The lycanthrope cannot tell shes just judging everyone)
They blink, rushing to help the second it clicks, âYeah, yeah, sorryâ
(the Iris donât know that lmao)
Rose takes the assistance in getting back on her feet. She still looks a little faint though (her vision feels fuzzy).
I think ⊠I need to sit down for a while, a bit further from here.

Town (Day 1)
Feel free to make posts for houses/other locations within town (or anywhere else that you think needs one!)
Going to also add this as a reblog in case anyone wants to interact through reblogs instead of comments!
Violet enters the town just as Lior, Zavier, Penny and (i think) Riley leave into the forest. She sees the hoof trails left behind from the horse and considers following them for a long moment before deciding not to. Looking around it looks just as in ruins as she was expecting. So why so many people? Was it some kind of meetup? Its to far away from any real town to be that.
She hears a sound coming from somewhere behind one of the ruins in the town.
" Um... Hello?" She calls out, half hoping that no one will respond.
Lily had just arrived in town, hearing the sound of hooves trancing away. Wonder what thatâs about. She was about to call out when he heard another voice beat her to it. âHello?â He called back, walking to where she heard the other voice.
"Oh.... uh...hi?" Violet says.
Violet walks closer to the sound of his voice to see a person with a bright pink dress walk in from behind it ruined house.
" oh hello! Sorry! I wasn't expecting anyone in this town. From what I've heard it's been abandoned for years."
Violet awkwardly puts her hand out to shake hands with her.
" nice to meet you? Uh...What's your name?"
Lily takes Violetâs hand and shakes it. âLily Teardrop, She/He. Itâs a pleasure to meet you.â She replies, his voice warm and smiling softly. âAnd you?â
"Oh right my name! That would beeeee... Violet? Yeah Violet! Violet Penrose." Violet said is she awkwardly let go of Lily's hand.
" what the heck are you doing out here in that fancy dress? You don't really look like you quite belong in this town... be fair I don't look like I belong in this town but I'm curious! The Town looks just as abandoned as I was expecting it to be yet they're somehow people?"
âOh, well, itâs somewhat frowned upon for a woman to not where a dress where Iâm from. And I really like wearing too, itâs one of my favorites.â Lily explained.
âAs for the abandoned town part, I actually just arrived. I wasnât expecting anyone else either, but hey, the more the merrier, right?â She said warmly.
" oh yeah I get... trust me I would have been in such a hassle with my parents if I ever wore anything that wasn't a dress!" Violet sighs," Though it seriously sucks sometimes! It'd be so much easier to get around in this darn forest without the stupid skirt!" Violet unenthusiastically kicked the inside her skirt.
"No hate on that dress though! you look gorgeous! Seriously I need to meet your tailor oh my goodness!" Violet paused " oh and yes it is much nicer to have other people help out with making camp than doing it on your own. That is if you're planning to stay"
âOh, yeah, Iâm definitely planning on staying. Iâm actually here to try to investigate what happened here 200 years ago. It seems a little suspicious how over 2,000 people all died in such a short time span, donât you think?â Lily says, her eyes glowing with a new kind of light.
Though, at Violetâs earlier comment about meeting Lilyâs tailor, there was a slight twinge of something almost akin to sadness that flashed over her face.
" oh! those weren't just rumors? I just assumed that was the people told everyone to explain why this place was abandoned! Never really thought about it that much. Oakhurst just seemed like the place to stay for a few days."
Was that why she was set here? To figure out what happened here? And she wouldn't put it above the Holy Spirits to do that.
" but if that's true that's really strange indeed. If you're here to investigate it I wish you the best of luck!"
Riley wanders through the town gates. âZavier? Lior?â
They finally find Violet and Lily. âOhâ hey! Are you two visiting here as well?â
"hello there! Yeah I'm planning to stay here for a few days. You know more people here?" Violet said turning their head to face the newcomer.
(Seriously how many people are there!? I was hoping for some peace and quiet for the next couple days in the beautiful fall Oakhurst Forest. This place was supposed to be abandoned!)
âI saw a few people earlier. I think they went to collect resources, they seem to be planning to stay for awhile as well.â Riley looked around at the clearly abandoned buildings. âI wouldnât have expected this place to be such a tourist trapâŠâ
" yeah right! All of this feels a little huh?" Though Violet is genuinely curious about the people in this town all this unexpected social talk have been making her exhausted.
(ooc gtg and sleep now I've been up for 36 hours and my brain feels like its melting)
@lily-teardrop ooc: if you want we can keep rping after violet walks away?
âOhâ ok,â Riley says as Violet leaves, muttering some excuse Riley doesnât catch. âI wonder what happenedâŠâ they turn to Lily. âI donât think I caught your name?â
Lily watched as Violet left, concerned. What had caused her to be so nervous? When the other person addressed her, he turned to them. âOh, my name is Lily Teardrop, She/He, itâs a pleasure. What about you?â She said.
âIâm Riley, uh, they/them. I seem to be a bit lost⊠Iâve never been here before or even heard of this place, do you know where we are?â
âOh, this place is known as Oakhurst. Around 200 years ago, there was a massacre that killed over 2,000 people, and I came here to investigate why that was.â Lily explained, her voice growing more excited as he talk, but she quickly realized this and cleared his throat, regaining her more formal composure. âSorry, I started rambling there. Though I have to ask, why were you wandering in the woods alone? Did you have another destination that is past here?â He realized that she had asked a somewhat personal question and raised his hands. âYou donât have to tell me of course! Iâm just curious.â She reassured Riley.
Riley runs a hand through their hair and wonât look at Lilyâs eyes when they answer, clearly nervous but trying to hide it. âYeah, I was just⊠curious what was this way. I live not too far from here, but Iâd never been this far south before.â
Lily could sense how nervous Riley felt, and she started feeling guilty about asking them that. âRight. Sorry, that was a little personal, and you barely know me.â He apologized, fidgeting with her hands. He didnât know what else to say.
âNo, no, itâs okay. Donât worry about it.â Riley forced a smile, looking around awkwardly. Their gaze caught on the beacon in the center of town. âHang on, what is that?â
Lily looked over at where Riley was pointing and tilted her head. He walked closer and crouched down by it. âI donât know.. Iâve never seen anything like this before.â The beacon was glowing a light creamy color and- Wait, was it glowing brighter now? Or was it just an effect of getting closer?
âŠ
Nope itâs definitely glowing brighter now.
Riley crouches, too, and feels a familiar tingly feeling pass through the air. âOh, this is like the one I saw in the forest...â They stand up, then hesitantly crouch again, tapping at the glass cover around the beacon. âI wonder what it does?â
ooc: @kismet-tal-untrust-au said Kismet would be hiding in the beacon tower so maybe thats a good point for them to join in?
yes, thanks
âShitâ Kismet stumbled back, slight panic, but their face is incredibly blank, the purple in their eyes is a lot clearer
Lily flinched, looking up at the new person. She could feel the panic in them. âHey, are you okay?â He asked, concerned for the new individual.
(@cheeto10)
âFine, why wouldnt I be?â Their voice had a slight echo, the purple in their eyes brighter, their face portrayed nearing zero emotion at all
Something felt off. Not the, âOh, this person is a bad personâ off, just, off, and Lily couldnât put her finger on it. Whatever, heâs sure itâll be clear in due time. âOh, itâs just, you stumbled, and I wanted to make sure you didnât hurt yourself.â She said, clasping his hands and twiddling her thumbs. âIâm Lily Teardrop, by the way. He/She. What about you?â
Hello?
A voice calls out from outside of the beacon tower. It sounds unsure and unused.
I heard people in here, and thought I should say hello.
Iâm RoseâŠ
A girl dressed in purple layers steps in, leaning on her cane. She looks a little tired.
@cheeto10 @kismet-tal-untrust-au @lily-teardrop
Riley turns around, surprised to see so many people appearing at once. âOh, hey. Iâm Riley, they/them.â They turn to Kismet, looking suspicious. âWere you⊠what are you doing in here? Do you know what this is?â they ask, gesturing to the beacon.
@rosalina-blackthorne-untrustau @lily-teardrop @kismet-tal-untrust-au
âKismet Tal. Thereâs not a need to know.â They replied quietly, âAnd no, I do not, but itâs certainly magical is some regardâ
Rileyâs eyes narrow in distrust. What did they mean thereâs not a need to know? âI assume you donât live here either?â
âNo, I arrived here just a few minutes ago. And why do you need to know? We donât know each other, you donât have a right to me.â Kismet muttered, the brooch on their chest glowing slightly with the same violet light that matched the hue of their eyes
Riley held up their hands, taking a step back. âSorry, I donât think itâs crazy to want to know whether someone was spying on your conversation.â
(im not mad at you at all ooc, im trying to do what i think riley would do in character but if you dont want to rp like this thats totally fine just lmk! /gen)
(youâre fine dw)
Kismet hummed, âWhy would I spy on a conversation, besides, I was under the impression no one was hereâ
âWhat do you mean you wereâ never mind.â Riley crossed their arms. âSo why are you here, then? Just visiting, as well?â
âLooking for a place to stayâ They remark
âOh⊠alright,â Riley says, dropping their arms. âWhere are you from? Somewhere near here?â
âNo, not close at allâ Kismet remarked, âoh- you.. you mentioned pronouns, sorry, they/sheâ
Another pause
âAh- you wanted a name of the town, Moweâ
Riley shrugged. âIâve never heard of there, sorry.â They look around at the decrepit beacon tower and crumbling buildings around the town. âAny⊠reason you picked here to go?â

Lily watched as Violet left, concerned. What had caused her to be so nervous? When the other person addressed her, he turned to them. âOh, my name is Lily Teardrop, She/He, itâs a pleasure. What about you?â She said.
âIâm Riley, uh, they/them. I seem to be a bit lost⊠Iâve never been here before or even heard of this place, do you know where we are?â
âOh, this place is known as Oakhurst. Around 200 years ago, there was a massacre that killed over 2,000 people, and I came here to investigate why that was.â Lily explained, her voice growing more excited as he talk, but she quickly realized this and cleared his throat, regaining her more formal composure. âSorry, I started rambling there. Though I have to ask, why were you wandering in the woods alone? Did you have another destination that is past here?â He realized that she had asked a somewhat personal question and raised his hands. âYou donât have to tell me of course! Iâm just curious.â She reassured Riley.
Riley runs a hand through their hair and wonât look at Lilyâs eyes when they answer, clearly nervous but trying to hide it. âYeah, I was just⊠curious what was this way. I live not too far from here, but Iâd never been this far south before.â
Lily could sense how nervous Riley felt, and she started feeling guilty about asking them that. âRight. Sorry, that was a little personal, and you barely know me.â He apologized, fidgeting with her hands. He didnât know what else to say.
âNo, no, itâs okay. Donât worry about it.â Riley forced a smile, looking around awkwardly. Their gaze caught on the beacon in the center of town. âHang on, what is that?â
Lily looked over at where Riley was pointing and tilted her head. He walked closer and crouched down by it. âI donât know.. Iâve never seen anything like this before.â The beacon was glowing a light creamy color and- Wait, was it glowing brighter now? Or was it just an effect of getting closer?
âŠ
Nope itâs definitely glowing brighter now.
Riley crouches, too, and feels a familiar tingly feeling pass through the air. âOh, this is like the one I saw in the forest...â They stand up, then hesitantly crouch again, tapping at the glass cover around the beacon. âI wonder what it does?â
ooc: @kismet-tal-untrust-au said Kismet would be hiding in the beacon tower so maybe thats a good point for them to join in?
yes, thanks
âShitâ Kismet stumbled back, slight panic, but their face is incredibly blank, the purple in their eyes is a lot clearer
Lily flinched, looking up at the new person. She could feel the panic in them. âHey, are you okay?â He asked, concerned for the new individual.
(@cheeto10)
âFine, why wouldnt I be?â Their voice had a slight echo, the purple in their eyes brighter, their face portrayed nearing zero emotion at all
Something felt off. Not the, âOh, this person is a bad personâ off, just, off, and Lily couldnât put her finger on it. Whatever, heâs sure itâll be clear in due time. âOh, itâs just, you stumbled, and I wanted to make sure you didnât hurt yourself.â She said, clasping his hands and twiddling her thumbs. âIâm Lily Teardrop, by the way. He/She. What about you?â
Hello?
A voice calls out from outside of the beacon tower. It sounds unsure and unused.
I heard people in here, and thought I should say hello.
Iâm RoseâŠ
A girl dressed in purple layers steps in, leaning on her cane. She looks a little tired.
@cheeto10 @kismet-tal-untrust-au @lily-teardrop
Riley turns around, surprised to see so many people appearing at once. âOh, hey. Iâm Riley, they/them.â They turn to Kismet, looking suspicious. âWere you⊠what are you doing in here? Do you know what this is?â they ask, gesturing to the beacon.
@rosalina-blackthorne-untrustau @lily-teardrop @kismet-tal-untrust-au
âKismet Tal. Thereâs not a need to know.â They replied quietly, âAnd no, I do not, but itâs certainly magical is some regardâ
Rileyâs eyes narrow in distrust. What did they mean thereâs not a need to know? âI assume you donât live here either?â
âNo, I arrived here just a few minutes ago. And why do you need to know? We donât know each other, you donât have a right to me.â Kismet muttered, the brooch on their chest glowing slightly with the same violet light that matched the hue of their eyes
Riley held up their hands, taking a step back. âSorry, I donât think itâs crazy to want to know whether someone was spying on your conversation.â
(im not mad at you at all ooc, im trying to do what i think riley would do in character but if you dont want to rp like this thats totally fine just lmk! /gen)
(youâre fine dw)
Kismet hummed, âWhy would I spy on a conversation, besides, I was under the impression no one was hereâ
âWhat do you mean you wereâ never mind.â Riley crossed their arms. âSo why are you here, then? Just visiting, as well?â
âLooking for a place to stayâ They remark
âOh⊠alright,â Riley says, dropping their arms. âWhere are you from? Somewhere near here?â
Town (Day 1)
Feel free to make posts for houses/other locations within town (or anywhere else that you think needs one!)
Going to also add this as a reblog in case anyone wants to interact through reblogs instead of comments!
Violet enters the town just as Lior, Zavier, Penny and (i think) Riley leave into the forest. She sees the hoof trails left behind from the horse and considers following them for a long moment before deciding not to. Looking around it looks just as in ruins as she was expecting. So why so many people? Was it some kind of meetup? Its to far away from any real town to be that.
She hears a sound coming from somewhere behind one of the ruins in the town.
" Um... Hello?" She calls out, half hoping that no one will respond.
Lily had just arrived in town, hearing the sound of hooves trancing away. Wonder what thatâs about. She was about to call out when he heard another voice beat her to it. âHello?â He called back, walking to where she heard the other voice.
"Oh.... uh...hi?" Violet says.
Violet walks closer to the sound of his voice to see a person with a bright pink dress walk in from behind it ruined house.
" oh hello! Sorry! I wasn't expecting anyone in this town. From what I've heard it's been abandoned for years."
Violet awkwardly puts her hand out to shake hands with her.
" nice to meet you? Uh...What's your name?"
Lily takes Violetâs hand and shakes it. âLily Teardrop, She/He. Itâs a pleasure to meet you.â She replies, his voice warm and smiling softly. âAnd you?â
"Oh right my name! That would beeeee... Violet? Yeah Violet! Violet Penrose." Violet said is she awkwardly let go of Lily's hand.
" what the heck are you doing out here in that fancy dress? You don't really look like you quite belong in this town... be fair I don't look like I belong in this town but I'm curious! The Town looks just as abandoned as I was expecting it to be yet they're somehow people?"
âOh, well, itâs somewhat frowned upon for a woman to not where a dress where Iâm from. And I really like wearing too, itâs one of my favorites.â Lily explained.
âAs for the abandoned town part, I actually just arrived. I wasnât expecting anyone else either, but hey, the more the merrier, right?â She said warmly.
" oh yeah I get... trust me I would have been in such a hassle with my parents if I ever wore anything that wasn't a dress!" Violet sighs," Though it seriously sucks sometimes! It'd be so much easier to get around in this darn forest without the stupid skirt!" Violet unenthusiastically kicked the inside her skirt.
"No hate on that dress though! you look gorgeous! Seriously I need to meet your tailor oh my goodness!" Violet paused " oh and yes it is much nicer to have other people help out with making camp than doing it on your own. That is if you're planning to stay"
âOh, yeah, Iâm definitely planning on staying. Iâm actually here to try to investigate what happened here 200 years ago. It seems a little suspicious how over 2,000 people all died in such a short time span, donât you think?â Lily says, her eyes glowing with a new kind of light.
Though, at Violetâs earlier comment about meeting Lilyâs tailor, there was a slight twinge of something almost akin to sadness that flashed over her face.
" oh! those weren't just rumors? I just assumed that was the people told everyone to explain why this place was abandoned! Never really thought about it that much. Oakhurst just seemed like the place to stay for a few days."
Was that why she was set here? To figure out what happened here? And she wouldn't put it above the Holy Spirits to do that.
" but if that's true that's really strange indeed. If you're here to investigate it I wish you the best of luck!"
Riley wanders through the town gates. âZavier? Lior?â
They finally find Violet and Lily. âOhâ hey! Are you two visiting here as well?â
"hello there! Yeah I'm planning to stay here for a few days. You know more people here?" Violet said turning their head to face the newcomer.
(Seriously how many people are there!? I was hoping for some peace and quiet for the next couple days in the beautiful fall Oakhurst Forest. This place was supposed to be abandoned!)
âI saw a few people earlier. I think they went to collect resources, they seem to be planning to stay for awhile as well.â Riley looked around at the clearly abandoned buildings. âI wouldnât have expected this place to be such a tourist trapâŠâ
" yeah right! All of this feels a little huh?" Though Violet is genuinely curious about the people in this town all this unexpected social talk have been making her exhausted.
(ooc gtg and sleep now I've been up for 36 hours and my brain feels like its melting)

Nope itâs definitely glowing brighter now.
Riley crouches, too, and feels a familiar tingly feeling pass through the air. âOh, this is like the one I saw in the forest...â They stand up, then hesitantly crouch again, tapping at the glass cover around the beacon. âI wonder what it does?â
ooc: @kismet-tal-untrust-au said Kismet would be hiding in the beacon tower so maybe thats a good point for them to join in?
yes, thanks
âShitâ Kismet stumbled back, slight panic, but their face is incredibly blank, the purple in their eyes is a lot clearer
Lily flinched, looking up at the new person. She could feel the panic in them. âHey, are you okay?â He asked, concerned for the new individual.

âFine, why wouldnt I be?â Their voice had a slight echo, the purple in their eyes brighter, their face portrayed nearing zero emotion at all
Something felt off. Not the, âOh, this person is a bad personâ off, just, off, and Lily couldnât put her finger on it. Whatever, heâs sure itâll be clear in due time. âOh, itâs just, you stumbled, and I wanted to make sure you didnât hurt yourself.â She said, clasping his hands and twiddling her thumbs. âIâm Lily Teardrop, by the way. He/She. What about you?â
Hello?
A voice calls out from outside of the beacon tower. It sounds unsure and unused.
I heard people in here, and thought I should say hello.
Iâm RoseâŠ
A girl dressed in purple layers steps in, leaning on her cane. She looks a little tired.

Riley turns around, surprised to see so many people appearing at once. âOh, hey. Iâm Riley, they/them.â They turn to Kismet, looking suspicious. âWere you⊠what are you doing in here? Do you know what this is?â they ask, gesturing to the beacon.
@rosalina-blackthorne-untrustau @lily-teardrop @kismet-tal-untrust-au
âKismet Tal. Thereâs not a need to know.â They replied quietly, âAnd no, I do not, but itâs certainly magical is some regardâ
Rileyâs eyes narrow in distrust. What did they mean thereâs not a need to know? âI assume you donât live here either?â
Town (Day 1)
Feel free to make posts for houses/other locations within town (or anywhere else that you think needs one!)
Going to also add this as a reblog in case anyone wants to interact through reblogs instead of comments!
Violet enters the town just as Lior, Zavier, Penny and (i think) Riley leave into the forest. She sees the hoof trails left behind from the horse and considers following them for a long moment before deciding not to. Looking around it looks just as in ruins as she was expecting. So why so many people? Was it some kind of meetup? Its to far away from any real town to be that.
She hears a sound coming from somewhere behind one of the ruins in the town.
" Um... Hello?" She calls out, half hoping that no one will respond.
Lily had just arrived in town, hearing the sound of hooves trancing away. Wonder what thatâs about. She was about to call out when he heard another voice beat her to it. âHello?â He called back, walking to where she heard the other voice.
"Oh.... uh...hi?" Violet says.
Violet walks closer to the sound of his voice to see a person with a bright pink dress walk in from behind it ruined house.
" oh hello! Sorry! I wasn't expecting anyone in this town. From what I've heard it's been abandoned for years."
Violet awkwardly puts her hand out to shake hands with her.
" nice to meet you? Uh...What's your name?"
Lily takes Violetâs hand and shakes it. âLily Teardrop, She/He. Itâs a pleasure to meet you.â She replies, his voice warm and smiling softly. âAnd you?â
"Oh right my name! That would beeeee... Violet? Yeah Violet! Violet Penrose." Violet said is she awkwardly let go of Lily's hand.
" what the heck are you doing out here in that fancy dress? You don't really look like you quite belong in this town... be fair I don't look like I belong in this town but I'm curious! The Town looks just as abandoned as I was expecting it to be yet they're somehow people?"
âOh, well, itâs somewhat frowned upon for a woman to not where a dress where Iâm from. And I really like wearing too, itâs one of my favorites.â Lily explained.
âAs for the abandoned town part, I actually just arrived. I wasnât expecting anyone else either, but hey, the more the merrier, right?â She said warmly.
" oh yeah I get... trust me I would have been in such a hassle with my parents if I ever wore anything that wasn't a dress!" Violet sighs," Though it seriously sucks sometimes! It'd be so much easier to get around in this darn forest without the stupid skirt!" Violet unenthusiastically kicked the inside her skirt.
"No hate on that dress though! you look gorgeous! Seriously I need to meet your tailor oh my goodness!" Violet paused " oh and yes it is much nicer to have other people help out with making camp than doing it on your own. That is if you're planning to stay"
âOh, yeah, Iâm definitely planning on staying. Iâm actually here to try to investigate what happened here 200 years ago. It seems a little suspicious how over 2,000 people all died in such a short time span, donât you think?â Lily says, her eyes glowing with a new kind of light.
Though, at Violetâs earlier comment about meeting Lilyâs tailor, there was a slight twinge of something almost akin to sadness that flashed over her face.
" oh! those weren't just rumors? I just assumed that was the people told everyone to explain why this place was abandoned! Never really thought about it that much. Oakhurst just seemed like the place to stay for a few days."
Was that why she was set here? To figure out what happened here? And she wouldn't put it above the Holy Spirits to do that.
" but if that's true that's really strange indeed. If you're here to investigate it I wish you the best of luck!"
Riley wanders through the town gates. âZavier? Lior?â
They finally find Violet and Lily. âOhâ hey! Are you two visiting here as well?â
"hello there! Yeah I'm planning to stay here for a few days. You know more people here?" Violet said turning their head to face the newcomer.
(Seriously how many people are there!? I was hoping for some peace and quiet for the next couple days in the beautiful fall Oakhurst Forest. This place was supposed to be abandoned!)
âI saw a few people earlier. I think they went to collect resources, they seem to be planning to stay for awhile as well.â Riley looked around at the clearly abandoned buildings. âI wouldnât have expected this place to be such a tourist trapâŠâ
" yeah right! All of this feels a little huh?" Though Violet is genuinely curious about the people in this town all this unexpected social talk have been making her exhausted.
(ooc gtg and sleep now I've been up for 36 hours and my brain feels like its melting)
@lily-teardrop ooc: if you want we can keep rping after violet walks away?
âOhâ ok,â Riley says as Violet leaves, muttering some excuse Riley doesnât catch. âI wonder what happenedâŠâ they turn to Lily. âI donât think I caught your name?â
Lily watched as Violet left, concerned. What had caused her to be so nervous? When the other person addressed her, he turned to them. âOh, my name is Lily Teardrop, She/He, itâs a pleasure. What about you?â She said.
âIâm Riley, uh, they/them. I seem to be a bit lost⊠Iâve never been here before or even heard of this place, do you know where we are?â
âOh, this place is known as Oakhurst. Around 200 years ago, there was a massacre that killed over 2,000 people, and I came here to investigate why that was.â Lily explained, her voice growing more excited as he talk, but she quickly realized this and cleared his throat, regaining her more formal composure. âSorry, I started rambling there. Though I have to ask, why were you wandering in the woods alone? Did you have another destination that is past here?â He realized that she had asked a somewhat personal question and raised his hands. âYou donât have to tell me of course! Iâm just curious.â She reassured Riley.
Riley runs a hand through their hair and wonât look at Lilyâs eyes when they answer, clearly nervous but trying to hide it. âYeah, I was just⊠curious what was this way. I live not too far from here, but Iâd never been this far south before.â
Lily could sense how nervous Riley felt, and she started feeling guilty about asking them that. âRight. Sorry, that was a little personal, and you barely know me.â He apologized, fidgeting with her hands. He didnât know what else to say.
âNo, no, itâs okay. Donât worry about it.â Riley forced a smile, looking around awkwardly. Their gaze caught on the beacon in the center of town. âHang on, what is that?â
Lily looked over at where Riley was pointing and tilted her head. He walked closer and crouched down by it. âI donât know.. Iâve never seen anything like this before.â The beacon was glowing a light creamy color and- Wait, was it glowing brighter now? Or was it just an effect of getting closer?
