Z**** Lily noticed dusk was starting to approach. “Hey guys, do you think we should set up shelter? It’s going to get dark soon and it’s probably a bad idea to stay out in the open at night.” They She said, pointing up at the setting sun and looking with worry at their his new friends.

An update for @untrust-vsmp-au

I won’t be able to be online for long stretches of time. I can only be on for about an hour a day. That being said, I won’t have to drop out. I just won’t be able to respond unless it’s in that one hour window.

[lily-teardrop]

For the ask game, 8 and 47! :)

8: What does your OC's family look like?

“Well, my bio family is just my bio mom Emily  and bio dad Juan, neither of which I’m close to, though I’m closer to my mom if I had to pick. My in-laws, however, there’s my mother in law Cadence, my father in law Frank, my brother in law Thaxel, and my grandmother in law, who I never got the name of, so I just call her Grams. Or at least, that’s who’s still alive.”

47: If your OC had to pick a new identity and skip town, what would they come up with? Where would they go?

“Well, I’d probably just pick a fake name and just avoid talking about my past at all costs. As for where I’d go, depends on what you mean. If you mean prior to Oakhurst, then the answer’s Oakhurst. If it’s after I got to Oakhurst, I’m not sure, but definitely not Mowe.”

[lily-teardrop]

Ask game!

6, 11, 35,

6: How comfortable is your OC in their skin? Do they like who they are? What would they want to change about themself?

“Well, maybe I’d like my body to be at least a little more masculine and not have to be forced to wear dresses, but in general I don’t really mind my body.”

11: What does your OC carry around in their pockets? What about their bag?

(Answered that here!)

35: If your OC had to kill someone, how would they do it? If killing is a near-daily occurrence to them, what is their preferred method?

“…No, no, I’d never kill someone, no…”

(Lily would only ever kill in self defense, and even then it would be an accident, and she would regret it for the rest of his life.)

[lily-teardrop]

Ask game! 2, 11 and 38

2: How does your OC remember their childhood? Is this an accurate reflection of what their childhood was actually like?

“Well, my childhood wasn’t bad per se, but it wasn’t the best either. My parents were emotionally distant, and they misgendered me a lot. Still do, actually. But, I had Hope and Thaxel, so I wasn’t completely alone. Though I didn’t meet them until I was about 12.”

(This is an accurate reflection of Lily’s childhood)

11: What does your OC carry around in their pockets? What about their bag?

“I don’t actually have pockets, (stupid dresses,) but I tend to carry a book and quill in my bag, along with a small sliver knife.”

38: What is the most recurring theme in your OC's nightmares?

“…”

(Fire. But not hurting him, but her instead. Every time it hurts her heart more than the last.)

Might be fun to do this @untrust-vsmp-au

[lily-teardrop]

(Ok, this looks really fun, yeah go ahead and send me asks about Lily, I’m happy to answer! :3)

[untrust-vsmp-au]

Town (Day 1)

Feel free to make posts for houses/other locations within town (or anywhere else that you think needs one!)

[untrust-everett-ward]

Everett notices a gaggle of people around town and decides to approach slowly, trying not to be noticed. Large groups are rather a pain.

[lily-teardrop]

Lily noticed some new people had entered the town, a group of three and one alone. Now that she had a sheep, he was in a much better mood and headspace, so she decided to call out to the one by himself. “Hello! Welcome to the town!” He carefully set down Lambert and waved over at the newcomer.

(@odette-untrust-vsmp-au rebloging this here :3)

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

Odette looks over where Lily is and waves the newcomer over. <<Oh hello! I’m Odette, who’re you?>> They stray slightly from their sheep pen after quickly checking the sheep would be okay alone and walks over to Lily, stopping right by his side.

@untrust-everett-ward

[untrust-everett-ward]

"I'm Everett," he says, pushing his glasses up further on his nose and walking closer to the other two, stopping at the appropriate distance for a casual conversation. Part of him mourns the loss of the useful viewpoint he'd gained from hanging back (it's much harder to look at the big picture from the inside, after all, and you can't figure out how something works without seeing the bigger picture), but it would make him stand out more if he refused their friendly overtures, and be rude besides. "I like your sheep. Have you been here long?"

( @lily-teardrop @odette-untrust-vsmp-au )

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<Oh! Thank you! No, we really just arrived. The place is kind of worn down, isn’t it?>>

[untrust-everett-ward]

"How funny, I've just arrived as well. It is quite worn down—I suppose that's just what happens when a place is left abandoned for long enough. What brings you here?"

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<Looking for a place to rest with me and my flock. What about you?>>

@lily-teardrop if you wanna join in any time go for it

[lily-teardrop]

“I myself came here to investigate the mysteries of this town.” Lily said.

And to get away from Mowe.

Lily did not ask for her opinion.

(@untrust-everett-ward)

[untrust-everett-ward]

"That's not too far from why I'm here myself! I don't know anything about the mysteries you refer to, but I came to study the flora and fauna of the area. I've been researching a particular type of plant and its defenses against animals, and I heard this was a quiet place where I could so some observation."

Everett suddenly becomes uncomfortably aware of how long he's been talking. He's gotten better at not launching into explanations of his work, but... Anyway. Time for him to let someone else do the talking.

He clears his throat. "What are these mysteries you speak of?"

[lily-teardrop]

“Oh, around 200 years ago, there was a huge massacre of the people of Oakhurst, hence why right now, it is in ruins, and from what I heard, it happened extremely quickly, so I honestly doubt it was something like a plague, so I decided to come and investigate what may have happened. I wasn’t expecting so many people though, I think so far I’ve seen…”

Violet, Riley, Kismet, Rose, Odette, and Everett..

And I remember seeing three others besides them, so that makes…

“I think 9 people so far, including you and Odette but excluding myself.” Lily said, completing their thought.

(@odette-untrust-vsmp-au)

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<That is strange I suppose…>> Odette looks over to Everett. <<Could you tell me more about this plant? Is it dangerous to sheep in any way?>> (Ooc here! This literally feels like 3 people just talking about their special interests. It’s perfect I love this trio <3)

@untrust-everett-ward

[untrust-everett-ward]

"Well... it could hurt them. But it seems to emit a chemical that tells animals to stay away, and they'd have plenty of time to get away once they first get hurt from touching it, so they would probably be fine."

(ooc: I also love this trio! A true day 1 crew right here <3 )

@lily-teardrop

[lily-teardrop]

“Is it dangerous to humans then? If so, do you have a way to protect yourself from it?” Lily asked, concerned.

Why do you care about him? He’s not important, you literally just met him!

Shut up, H****, no one asked you.

Could both of them shut up? Now’s not the time.

…Fine

Sorry..

Thank you.

Without her realizing, a slight look of annoyance had formed on his face.

(Yeah, I’m really liking our trio! Also don’t mind Lily having a mini mental breakdown lol, she’s fine I swear.)

(@odette-untrust-vsmp-au)

[untrust-everett-ward]

"It can be! As long as you don't touch it for too long, you'll be alright, and it hurts to touch, so it's not particularly tempting to hold it for long enough to become a real problem. I use gloves to protect my hands when I have to touch them," He says, pulling out a pair of gloves from one of his pockets. The gloves are white, but the fingertips and palms are stained with a faded black.

Everett notices a hint of an annoyed expression on Lily's face. Oops. They've probably talked too long, haven't they? They shift their weight from one leg to the other, putting their gloves back away and only now realizing how relaxed they'd been. These two people seem nice. Everett likes them.

(@odette-untrust-vsmp-au)

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<Stay safe when working on them. Can they make you sick or is it just pain?>> Odette looks at Everett with a mix of curiosity and worry. <<And are you sure there aren’t any adverse effects? How long have you been working with these plants?>>

@lily-teardrop

[untrust-everett-ward]

"Oh, don't worry, I keep at a safe distance as much as possible. I'm still studying them, but so far I haven't found anything to suggest it's more than the pain—there's no long-term effects I've found yet." Everett pauses. "I've been truly studying them for about eight years now, although there was a patch in my hometown that caught my eye when I was much younger. How long have you been taking care of sheep?"

(@lily-teardrop)

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<…I’ll take your word for it. Just..be safe, yeah? If you feel anything weird let someone know. Anyways, I’ve been taking care of sheep since I was..12 I believe? So…>> She pauses slightly before saying, <<that’s 11 years at this point. Huh. What about you Lily? How long have you been studying the history of this place?>>

@lily-teardrop

[lily-teardrop]

Lily snapped out of her thoughts, only to be sucked back into them as he did the math. “Well, depends on what you count as studying. If you count just casual looking through old books about it for writing, then since I was about, 13 or 14, so around… 12 or 13 years I think? But if you’re talking about genuinely researching it and actually planning on investing it, then it’s closer to about 3 years.” She explained. 3 years ago. When he started to shut others out. When she used his research as an escape.

When everything went WRONG.

Z*** Lily shock their her head focusing their his attention on the two others in front of her. They He seems much more… Bouncy than before. “Guess I’ve been doing my thing for both the longest and the shortest out of all of us!” They She said cheerfully.

There are only three ways to make an enemy out of Lily:

Hurting someone she cares about.

Stealing his bow and not returning it when asked.

Stealing her ring, period.

[violet-untrust-au]

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-teardrop]

Lily had just arrived in town, hearing the sound of hooves trancing away. Wonder what that’s about. She was about to call out when he heard another voice beat her to it. “Hello?” He called back, walking to where she heard the other voice.

[violet-untrust-au]

"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-teardrop]

Lily takes Violet’s hand and shakes it. “Lily Teardrop, She/He. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” She replies, his voice warm and smiling softly. “And you?”

[violet-untrust-au]

"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?"

[lily-teardrop]

“Oh, well, it’s somewhat frowned upon for a woman to not where a dress where I’m from. And I really like wearing too, it’s one of my favorites.” Lily explained.

“As for the abandoned town part, I actually just arrived. I wasn’t expecting anyone else either, but hey, the more the merrier, right?” She said warmly.

[violet-untrust-au]

" 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"

[lily-teardrop]

“Oh, yeah, I’m definitely planning on staying. I’m 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, don’t you think?” Lily says, her eyes glowing with a new kind of light.

Though, at Violet’s earlier comment about meeting Lily’s tailor, there was a slight twinge of something almost akin to sadness that flashed over her face.

[violet-untrust-au]

" 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!"

[cheeto10]

Riley wanders through the town gates. “Zavier? Lior?”

They finally find Violet and Lily. “Oh— hey! Are you two visiting here as well?”

[violet-untrust-au]

"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!)

[cheeto10]

“I saw a few people earlier. I think they went to collect resources, they seem to be planning to stay for awhile as well.” Riley looked around at the clearly abandoned buildings. “I wouldn’t have expected this place to be such a tourist trap…”

[violet-untrust-au]

" 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)

[cheeto10]

@lily-teardrop ooc: if you want we can keep rping after violet walks away?

“Oh— ok,” Riley says as Violet leaves, muttering some excuse Riley doesn’t catch. “I wonder what happened…” they turn to Lily. “I don’t think I caught your name?”

[lily-teardrop]

Lily watched as Violet left, concerned. What had caused her to be so nervous? When the other person addressed her, he turned to them. “Oh, my name is Lily Teardrop, She/He, it’s a pleasure. What about you?” She said.

[cheeto10]

“I’m Riley, uh, they/them. I seem to be a bit lost… I’ve never been here before or even heard of this place, do you know where we are?”

[lily-teardrop]

“Oh, 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.” Lily explained, her voice growing more excited as he talk, but she quickly realized this and cleared his throat, regaining her more formal composure. “Sorry, 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?” He realized that she had asked a somewhat personal question and raised his hands. “You don’t have to tell me of course! I’m just curious.” She reassured Riley.

[cheeto10]

Riley runs a hand through their hair and won’t look at Lily’s eyes when they answer, clearly nervous but trying to hide it. “Yeah, I was just… curious what was this way. I live not too far from here, but I’d never been this far south before.”

[lily-teardrop]

Lily could sense how nervous Riley felt, and she started feeling guilty about asking them that. “Right. Sorry, that was a little personal, and you barely know me.” He apologized, fidgeting with her hands. He didn’t know what else to say.

[cheeto10]

“No, no, it’s okay. Don’t worry about it.” Riley forced a smile, looking around awkwardly. Their gaze caught on the beacon in the center of town. “Hang on, what is that?”

[lily-teardrop]

Lily looked over at where Riley was pointing and tilted her head. He walked closer and crouched down by it. “I don’t know.. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” The beacon was glowing a light creamy color and- Wait, was it glowing brighter now? Or was it just an effect of getting closer?

…

Nope it’s definitely glowing brighter now.

[cheeto10]

Riley crouches, too, and feels a familiar tingly feeling pass through the air. “Oh, this is like the one I saw in the forest...” They stand up, then hesitantly crouch again, tapping at the glass cover around the beacon. “I wonder what it does?”

[untrust-au-lior]

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?

[kismet-tal-untrust-au]

yes, thanks

“Shit” Kismet stumbled back, slight panic, but their face is incredibly blank, the purple in their eyes is a lot clearer

[lily-teardrop]

Lily flinched, looking up at the new person. She could feel the panic in them. “Hey, are you okay?” He asked, concerned for the new individual.

(@cheeto10)

[kismet-tal-untrust-au]

“Fine, why wouldnt I be?” Their voice had a slight echo, the purple in their eyes brighter, their face portrayed nearing zero emotion at all

[lily-teardrop]

Something felt off. Not the, “Oh, this person is a bad person” off, just, off, and Lily couldn’t put her finger on it. Whatever, he’s sure it’ll be clear in due time. “Oh, it’s just, you stumbled, and I wanted to make sure you didn’t hurt yourself.” She said, clasping his hands and twiddling her thumbs. “I’m Lily Teardrop, by the way. He/She. What about you?”

[rosalina-blackthorne-untrustau]

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.

I’m Rose…

A girl dressed in purple layers steps in, leaning on her cane. She looks a little tired.

@cheeto10 @kismet-tal-untrust-au @lily-teardrop

[lily-teardrop]

Ok, Lily was starting to understand Violet’s earlier confusion. 1 or 2 other people made sense, naturally, there were of course travelers and other people who were probably curious about this town. But so far Lily had met a grand total of 4, and she had a sneaking suspicion there were more. But, the new person had asked a question to him as well, it was common courtesy to answer them.

“Lily Teardrop, it’s a pleasure to meet you Rose.” She said, trying to keep the tension out of his voice, but it wasn’t helped by Riley’s and the now named Kismet’s growingly tense talk. “I’m… Going to step out for a moment, please excuse me.”

Lily stepped outside the tower and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. He looked around the town, noticing some new people were now here. Lily prayed to any god that was listening that no one would notice her.

(@untrust-au-lior @odette-untrust-vsmp-au @zavier-untrust-au & @pennyfew-untrustau ya’ll can interact with Lily, but she’ll be more tired and probably less formal than he was previously)

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

Odette is shepherding their sheep into a newly built fence when she spots Lily out of the corner of their eye. <<Oh! Hello there! I don’t believe we’ve met yet. I’m Odette.>>

@lily-teardrop

[lily-teardrop]

Ok then, whatever gods had heard it didn’t care, check. Lily had never really been a religious person anyway, so she guessed that’s why. He looked up at the newcomer, Odette, noticing their ability to guide the sheep. That’s a cool skill. Wait, she needed to answer Odette, right. “O-Oh, I’m Lily Teardrop, She/He. Sorry, I spaced out for a bit.” He apologized, rubbing the back of her neck with his hand.

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<No worries! This is kinda a lot huh?>> Odette notices Lily’s interest in their sheep, <<I’m a shepherd, I brought my flock with me!>> Odette shows off her flock, now fully safe inside their little pen, proudly and with a smile.

[lily-teardrop]

“Oh, that’s really neat!” Lily said cheerfully. People were complex and tiring. But animals? They were fun and calming to be around. Plus, the sheep looked adorable. “Do any of them have names?” She asked, practically vibrating.

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<Well this one…>> Odette beckons to a small sheep with flowers in his hair, <<Is Fluffy! The rest of them I don’t want to get too attached too. But Fluffy has a special place in my heart. If you want to you can name one of them?>>

[lily-teardrop]

“Aw, that’s such a cute name!” Lily said gleefully. At the mention of naming one of the sheep, she lit up like a kid on Christmas Day. “Really? I can?” He asked. At Odette’s confirmation, she looked at the sheep, noticing one of them was smaller than the others. “Oh, can I name this one Lambert?” He asked.

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<AWWW of course!>> Odette holds out some wheat for Lambert and then carefully picks the small sheep up and carefully holds onto it somewhere in front of Lily but not to close to him as to not scare her. <<Would you like to hold Lambert?>>

[lily-teardrop]

“Yes!” Lily practically squealed, carefully taking the small sheep from Odette’s arms into her own. “He’s so fluffy!”

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<Im glad you like him! He’s a very friendly sheep.>> Odette is beaming and clearly very happy that Lily likes Lambert. It’s then she hears some “talking” coming from the towns beacon. <<Hey…Do you hear that?…Wanna check it out?>> (Ooc here: You wanna join the conversation on the other side? It would be very funny to have two people just walk in the tower beacon to two people they don’t know being really pissed off at each other for no apparent reason.)

[lily-teardrop]

Lily glanced back at the tower, then shook her head. “No, I don’t do well with confrontation, and that’s what that sounds like.” He said. She was not going to tell his new friend that she actually got overwhelmed by the strong emotions and walked away, he didn’t want to seem fragile. Though, her words probably didn’t help with that idea either. Damnit, people are hard.

(I think they finished the argument actually, because Kismet and Rosalie are in their shared camp now.)

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

(Ah okay then lol we need some sort of system for all these reblogs I cannot keep up. I think duck and verdant may need a little bit more help [also I’ve just found out how to look at all the reblogs so that is very helpful] ah well, fun Lily character moment at least!)

[lily-teardrop]

(Hey, I noticed Everett came into town, do you think we can invite him to our conversation?)

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

(Oh yeah definitely!)

[lily-teardrop]

Lily noticed someone new had entered the town. Now that she had a sheep, he was in a much better mood and headspace, so she decided to call out to them. “Hello! Welcome to the town!” He carefully set down Lambert and waved over at the newcomer.
