The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Finished. Threw in an action starter maybe? Evil tree doesn't like the sound of being cut up? Yes? No? Just tell me if you have other plans.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

The physical renewal during they're stay in Sol was well appreciated by all, but especially by one whiny brat in particular, Lesley. Even on their way down the mountain, he was cursing to himself and making fake crying noises as he stumbled along like he had lost the ability to walk upright. As soon as they were lead into their own separate rooms, he trudged in like a lifeless ghost and passed out before the maid even closed the door. A knock woke him up the following afternoon, his energy had been refueled from the day long rest he was able to get. The humans had been gathered up for a funeral and as soon as he found out who had died, Lesley couldn't help but break into tears, clutching onto Riley who remained motionless with a far away look in her eyes.

The following rest days were made much more sorrowful because of the loss and before he knew it, they were packing up to go the Forest of the Ancients.

---

The hue of the sky was as dark as the rest of the forest. If one didn't look hard enough, it would seem that everything was the exact same color. Thank the Lord for these flashlights. The trees resembled mangled arms and hands, its branches posing as the pointed fingers, looking like it would crackle to life the moment you turned your back to it. Everyone seemed to be on there toes at every audible noise and rustle that made itself heard. Normally they'd be walking a good arms length away from one another, but the eerie atmosphere seemed to have placed a magnetic pull on the humans and guides, bringing them all together in a much tighter bundle.

Hugging his abdomen as they made their way along, two extremely creepy scenarios took place. First, a phantom gust tore their only map out of the guide's hand and blew it into the shadows. Second, their compass began to malfunction then stopped working altogether. It was like some sinister force was purposely causing them to get lost. Goosebumps sprouted up all over his arms from the chilly night air and the stress he was feeling from reacting to every little sound and movement the forest used to spook them. Beside him, he could tell Martini wasn't doing so well either. Her knuckles were white from clutching her weapon so hard. He was given the chance to interact with her during his time in Sol and he must say, he adored her so. She was a complete definition of 'fabulous'. A freak animal of some sort made a shrill growl at them atop one of the higher branches causing him to yelp and grab Martini's arm as she too inched closer to him.

"Omgee gurlll. I'm so scared ε=ε=(っ*´□`)っ. You better know how to use that giant fork of yours..." he said to her with a shaky voice, his head still frantically turning from side to side on the look out for any more suspicious activity.

Avian: "Seen anything?"

"No, not yet and I'm hoping I never will (⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾ Д ⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾)," he replied to the question before yanking the dragoon into his and Martini's protective huddle. With one arm hooked with Martini and Avian trudging along side him, Lesley was able to to feel a lot more comfortable than he previously was. Scary things were never his forte and if he ever happened to watch a horror film, you could bet he was going to have a nightmare that same night.

Meanwhile, Hakuren decided he was going to make some jokes while everyone was already on the edge. It was obviously not being tolerated by anyone right now as Avian snapped at him rather seriously, throwing the ice mage's comment right back at him. As of right now, they were definitely lost and even the guides had no idea where they were. It seemed as if they continually passed the exact same scenery every couple of minutes, but it was hard to tell since everything basically looked similar to the next.

Ace, who was oddly trotting at the front whilst singing a song, suggested that they mark where they've already gone and Jasper reached out to offer her a sharp rock to engrave the trees. Pausing on his own to inspect the current surroundings from where they stood, he asked Martini politely for her trident and also made an offering to Ace in an attempt to compete with Jasper's puny little rock. "Here, this should make a much more distinguishable scratch on the bark." He sounded confident, holding the three-pronged spear up to Ace, urging her to choose it over Jasper's dumb stone.

Suddenly, a pair of red eyes darted open on the trunk of the tree behind Ace at the suggestion of it being cut. Lesley shrieked as he dashed off, letting the trident clatter to the ground in front of Ace. \(￣д￣;)\=3=3=3

Bad move Avian. Your wifey ain't around jk. Martini is here now. I see them becoming very good friends. Hopefully Oblivion returns so we have a fashion troop :)

Gonna type up a post

Yes. I think to get relationships sinking into a deeper level, there has to be even just a little back and forth between 2 characters, which will hopefully not affect others since the interaction would be off to the side (unless they wanted to get involved) and I definitely needed to respond to a post where some delusional albino woman, controlled by a Korean side-dish, just let out her latest meal onto my fabulous Lesles.

THE FIGHT MUST RAGE ON!!!

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Listening to her clear her throat while still staring Inadi down, he was wondering why she started to look even paler and more nervous than usual. He stared at her with a face full of anticipation for her answer, hoping that it would be a straight up rejection. It would be best that way. Life is easier when there's no competition, not that he felt like he could lose to Jasper anyway. When she began to part her lips to speak, it seemed to draw his face even closer, just in case she decided to whisper it.

Jasper: "Uh..uhhhh..uhmmm. W-wuh-well.."

Lesley nodded his head quickly in encouragement, urging her to continue. "Yes? Yes? So what do you think about Inadi?" The hue of her face almost dove down into a bad shade of pure white, even though it should be hard to tell because of her albinism, but he knew that she didn't appear to be feeling very well. But still, the determined Les pressed on with a willful stare even as she started to waddle a little off balance in his arms. Next thing he knew, it seemed that her legs had melted because he had to hold her up. 'Wtf is wrong with this chic? Like seriously, it's a yes or no question' he thought as he hauled her back onto her own two feet.

"Woah.. are you okay? You don

All he could do was stare. It was a horrid mystery as to why he had lost all control and force in his body to move away as soon as she started to haunch over in a throw up position, but there it was. To his utter misfortune, his hand was still out stretched from when he flicked a hand to draw her attention to the main target of their whole conversation. But now it had found another purpose, Jasper was using it like some kind of toilet to empty all the undigested food initially floating in her stomach acid. It was warm and sloshy within his palm, and the strained puking noises she made were enough to set his own stomach off, making him him feel sick as he threw up a little in his mouth just from witnessing all this. Her back would arch up, tremble, release, and collapse back down until there was no more left.

She finally stopped and Lesley was still standing there, dumbfounded and flabbergasted in relation to what just happened. He was currently holding a hand full of puke with a large pool of muck underneath it. Then in a resurgence of energy, he turned his hand over to let the rest of the throw up join the rest of its pals who were slowly seeping between the crevices of rock. Looking straight up to the sky, he opened up his mouth and let out the most disgusted, banshee-like scream he could ever muster. This continued for at least five seconds before he looked Jasper dead square in the pupils with an infuriated 'GLARE OF DEATH' before stomping off to wash his hand clean. He would have loved to smear or throw her own puke right back at her, but Lesley only came to realize that he could have done just that while a soldier sacrificed the rest of the water in his pouch to wash off Lesley's hand.

"And to think I was actually starting to forgive her, UGH! That snarkle-kettle! I just wanna," he then commenced into gnashing a fist into his other palm like he was violently killing a bug that landed there. 'I swear, I'm gonna make her pay!' There was no soap around whatsoever so he was just going to have to travel the rest of the trip with one extremely bad-odored hand.

Returning to the front where the humans were gathered, he came just in time to see Leila part from the dragon's face from what seemed to be an embrace and they were all called to huddle closer together for a blessing. He almost fell into place beside Jasper, but he shot her a dirty look which definitely had some imaginary lasers blasting out of it before he stalked off father away from where she stood. As soon as he settled down in a spot where Jasper was nowhere in sight, he observed in curiosity at the clouds that began to arise around them once again. Upon the evaporation of the white wisps, he noticed that his open cuts had disappeared and he no longer ached.

Grandma Dragon: "So you saw our little Citrus with a bunch of witches and didn't even help him!"

Uh-oh, grandma rage mode. She looked rather infuriated and Lesley secretly cheered her on as he noticed who her anger was directed towards. 'Ehehehe. Jasper's gonna get it now ૧(^ಠﭛಠ^)ﾉΨ' But to his chagrin, her son-in-law fanned out the flames before anyone could get hurt. Lesley huffed ╮(　￣д￣;)ノ . Dragons, nobodies, and humans continued to discuss until Harper blurted out,

Harper: "We'll go after them and we'll save your grandson!"

Lesley groaned mentally, but watched in surprise as the Living List flew out from within Harper's pack and hovered before them to display the target for their up coming quest upon just achieving a Dragon's Laughter. Now it was Lesley's turn to throw up as his stomach began to churn and do flip-flops.

Harper: "Yes! We'll find your son and put a stop to the witches."

He couldn't believe it. This was surely not at all a coincidence. 'Darned list is a freakin' spy! IT'S WATCHING US... (ㅇㅅㅇ). Stalker...' he grumbled wordlessly to himself as he began to conjure a theory of his own. But they had no choice. The Queen wants what the Queen wants and a Queen gets what a Queen wants so they were just going to have to go and get it. He felt as if this Nowhere place where humans randomly stumbled into was just a more whimsical version of the movie "Saw" with the Queen playing Jigsaw. Goosebumps springing up along his arms at the disturbing thought, he mentally accepted their fate, preparing himself for yet another adventure.

Wow MUG. Why you let Jasper feel Inadi up so voluntarily huh? Is ok, my Lesles can make a move sooner or later. Watch out

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

The food, oh lord<runs off to the kitchen

Yup, the site is getting cray. Anyways, that interview is funny. You guys did good given your characters have no knowledge of one another.

@MUG: It should have just been Les, but Jasper butted in. It is ok man, embrace it. It isn't very often you have a character that gets glorified by a bisexual, pink haired man, that also looks like a woman.

That video was very interesting and disgusting< runs to washroom.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Holding on tightly, his long legs flew around vigorously as the dragon continue to thrash and flail in attempts to shake him off. Just when he thought he could no longer keep his gradually loosening death grip, a beautiful savior jumped onto the reptile's back to rescue him. His mouth agape, he stared in awe of the fiery beauty. Her name was Ace.

Ace: "Hold on, I'll help!"

The way her muscles tensed while she skillfully maneuvered the course of scales and points on the moving creatures back was admiring to watch and she accomplished it all with grace. Not to mention her bouncing- 'No don't look' he thought with a dedicated will to abstain from thinking such things. With males, it was different, but he knew that the ladies deserved respect, not some slobbering dog.

Ace: "Oi! Lesley! Give me one end of the necklace, and I'll hook it to the otherside! Stay still for one second crazy dragon! We aren't trying to hurt you!"

After multiple failed attempts and almost in every single one he was sent dangling around with just the support of one arm.

Harper: "Lesley, hang on tight!"

The two offered their hands and he waited for just the right moment to lunge. As soon as the dragon's action seemed to slow down a bit more than usual, probably from fatigue, he used the swinging momentum from its shaking to lock both his hands to Ace and Harper. Hauling him onto safety, well at least a safer situation than he had just been in, the three of them clung to the beast until once again, the glorious female warrior took a leap of faith which ended in success as she finally got the necklace over its head and around its neck. The two males served as support by catching her before she was able to go plummeting to ground, but their relief was only temporary.

A flashback as he fell off the mountain side earlier. He was luckier then, but what about now? Soft fluffy white clouds. 'Am I still dreaming?'

Harper: "A-Are we in heaven? I always thought heaven would be more fabulous."

The dragon was still stomping and roaring above them, but somehow he felt at peace. They had survived. What luck. Leon beckoned them to a safer location and they all trusted him as they landed softly on a secure area of the mountain slope.

From there, they had front row seats to something that could only be seen on screen back on home turf. The dragon went berserk. His wife contrasted him as she was calm, but he knew the amulet was the thing causing his panic. Colorful parades swam out and dove around and around the unhappy beast. Soon enough, he was crash landing to ground level where the two creatures actually began to talk. One soothing and stern, while the other was clearly suffering from both mental and physical torment. As the husband finally settled down, the couple questioned the humans about a baby dragon that resembled its mother.

The others seemed to show looks of knowing and responded with more information. Lesley, on the other hand, was pretty confused and couldn't recall ever seeing a poofy tiny dragon. In fact, this was his first time meeting any dragon(s) and it wasn't at all pleasant.

They were told about the witches and their evil plans. As things were being brought to the beast's attention, Jasper went around on a check up. He waited his turn and he knew there was no point in denying her helpful intentions. Ace had tried, but failed.

Biting his lip as Jasper gazed over him, he couldn't help but feel a little less angry with her about Inadi, but the longer she stood their examining him, the more he wanted to clear up the issue. "Don't worry dear. I'm in tip-top shape," he leaned in closer as he shrunk the gap between them a little more, wrapping an arm around over her shoulders. Turning her and himself so they were in perfect angle to get a good view of the framed faced boy, he reached out a hand as if to draw her gaze towards him.

"A handsome man isn't he?" He glanced down at her face and she looked somewhat blank in expression. Lesley wanted to know if she was interested, but didn't really want to straight up ask her, so he was just trying to swerve the conversation to his conclusion. "Fancy him at all? I mean, how couldn't you? He's so unknowing and to himself. Doesn't his mystery just reel you in?" He had to swallow a pool of spit forming in his mouth just from looking at Inadi for this long; basking in his exquisiteness. Wrenching his hungry stare from the living sculpture, he took the time to observe Jasper's responses to his prodding questions.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Oh my lord. I can take this. Its 4am and I haven't slept, but I'm cooking up a plot tomorrow morning.

This is the first roleplay I've been in and this gives good insight on how to make a roleplay work. I will continue to do my best!

Phones, WHY YOU LEAVE? Les had a thing for Haku. But I guess we will miss you and to think you've been here for so long. You are on original. A yellow Lays potatoe chip bag. See you around... read you around?
