Current Geez, it's been 11 months since I last logged in. Sorry to anyone I was RPing with, real life got in the way and I guess I just lost track of time.

So just making sure I understand completely, the village itself is in the 'normal' world but with a barrier that crosses into a magical world?


The barrier conceals the Valley and the town within from Feyless observers. It's kind of a similar situation to Hogsmeade/Hogwarts in Harry Potter. The Valley, Pixiewick, and even the underground area technically exist in the "normal" world, but their existence is hidden from "normal" people. As for the reason why magical people would hide from powerless normies, we could say that Feyless can turn into demons or something if they are exposed to too much ambient magic. Whenever a Feyborn has to traverse Feyless communities, their glamour charm could also act as a magic dampener by absorbing ambient magic before it can affect any Feyless in the immediately vicinity.
Glad some peeps are interested XD. Before I develop the town further, what ideas do you all have for your characters and what type of activities/events/organizations/etc. would you like your characters to interact with? Would you guys like there to be some kind of danger for anyone who wants to have some form of magical combat, like a monster infestation in the mines or something? Maybe a group of miners kept digging hoping to find new veins of mithril and instead they accidentally break into an Underdark-like subterranean realm, and some of the monsters there make their way up into the mines and onto the surface in the Valley. That's just one idea. That would be a good intro point for any characters who are new to town - maybe they have come to investigate the underground realm or to help provide security for the town against the monsters. Maybe some people are also there to help protect the wildlife in the Feywood Forest from monster attacks. Let me know your thoughts XD.

I’m interested.

How magical are we talking? Are we playing humans, or fantasy species (fairies, elves, etc.)


Any fantasy race is fine, but we could probably say they have human disguises/glamour charms when needed, like if they are venturing outside the magical barrier concealing the Valley. We could say the different races spawned off from unions of Mortals and Feyfolk in ancient times, and the non-magical people could be called Feyless by the Feyborn races. If we go with that, then characters could look anyway you want when in Feyborn spaces XD.
I want to get back into RPing, but I am also aware that I sometimes get caught up with real life and am away from the site for stretches of time. So I had the idea for a larger RP set within a magical town, where people play the various residents and the different stories within the town can move forward even without my direct involvement, and then I can drop in and out when I can. The idea would be sort of like a Stardew Valley/Fields of Mistria/Palia type thing, but where people can play whoever they want within the town. I would play a few characters, such as the mayor of Pixiewick, and also create a handful of community NPCs to fill any roles not covered by you guys. Those NPCs would be merchants and would basically be free use for anyone to control while their characters are interacting with those NPCs.

Pixiewick is a small town that sits in Mithril Valley, which is a magically-concealed space within the Cascade Mountains of Oregon in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The Valley was named such because it contains a huge underground network of mithril mines, but they have been mostly dried up for decades. Pixiewick is the only community within the Valley that endured until the current date. The town sits at the south end of the Valley, near the Unicorn River, which runs south from Mythwater Lake at the north end of the Valley. Surrounding the lake is the Feywood Forest, filled with many types of magical flora and fauna. At the north end of the lake is Mythwater Falls, where water feeds into the lake from a series of holes in the side of Dragonroost Mountain. This is where several underground rivers collide and exit out of the mountain and falls to the lake below.

If there is sufficient interest, I will develop the town and the surrounding area further.
Just to give you guys a heads up, my time on this site may be a bit sporadic for a while due to some real-life stuff. If it gets to a point where I feel like I might not be able to post enough, I will temporarily remove Bobby so that I don't hold up the flow of the RP. If it comes to that, I'll have Bobby kidnapped by the Corvonero Family and held in a prison cell somewhere. Then Nico can lead the crew in attempts to find out where Bobby is being held. I'll also post a list of suggestions for a variety of "Find Bobby" missions that you all can RP through, and then once the real-life stuff is resolved, Bobby will be rescued and return to the RP.
Figured I'd throw in a ton of enemies so each of you can have some fun and kill as many as you want XD.
“Richie Laviano,” Bobby said in reply to Alícia’s question about his full name. He then nodded along with everyone’s suspicions about the gang’s funding. “You’re right, they may have some big ballers fronting the costs. We’ll get their sources while we’re there. I’m sure we can find a way to make them talk,” he said with a sinister grin. “So, we head in there, wreak some havoc, send a message, and see what information we can get out of them. Pretty simple plan. When everyone’s ready, we’ll apparate into the Park and make our way to the Terrace.”

After they finished their food, the group rose from their seats, paid their bill, and then disapparated from the bar. They rematerialized under the cover of some trees in Central Park before heading out onto the walkway and making their approach to the Bethesda Terrace.



Upon arriving, Bobby looked to make sure there weren’t any No-Majes watching and then whispered “Revelio” under his breath to reveal the exact location of the entrance to the speakeasy. The group passed through the hidden archway without being spotted and found themselves walking down a long hall into a magically-expanded extradimensional dining hall. There were at least several dozen people drinking and eating, and Bobby was a bit shocked the Blood Pack was running a place of that size and caliber. But still, a job’s a job.

“Alright, listen up motherfuckers!” he yelled out. “You’re dealing booze in Serpeverde territory, so you’ve obviously forgotten who the fuck we are. Consider this a reminder! Bombarda! Bombarda! Bombarda!” Bobby started swooshing his wand around, blowing up chairs, tables, and glasses. The patrons started screaming and running out the door or disapparating away.

“Who’s in charge here, cocksucker!” Bobby demanded as he zeroed in on a terrified bartender. He pointed a shaking hand towards an office door in the back. The mobster threw the guy to the side and blasted his way through the door, finding a group of twelve gangmembers who had been sitting at a table counting money but were rising to their feet to investigate the commotion. The room was quite large with a tall safe in the back and multiple stacks of crates with liquor. The thugs began pulling out their wands as several more enemies began apparating into the room to aid in the fight against the attackers.

“Leave at least one alive! Kill the rest! Expelliarmus! Avada Kedavra! Expelliarmus! Avada Kedavra! Expelliarmus! Avada Kedavra!” Bobby began chaining the Disarming Spell with the Killing Curse to quickly dispatch their enemies while ducking behind one of the stacks of crates in the room for cover to dodge incoming blasts. But like rats coming out of a sewer, more and more gangmembers kept apparating into the fight…
Sorry all, real life has been something else lately. Post should be along soon.
I was sick for a while and I mentioned it on my other thread but I think I forgot to say anything here, so I'm sorry about that. Was initially waiting for WhiteAngel to post and then just lost track of time. But yes, I'm still here as well and will post once WhiteAngel does. And no worries about RL stuff, that always comes first. I mentioned it in my other thread, but we could always move this to Discord and then if we can all get on at the same time, we could write a few sentences back and forth in real-time for a couple hours like once a week or something. Then we wouldn't have to worry about constructing long posts at once, it would just be our characters interacting back and forth in the moment in real time.
Sorry it ended up being a shorter post, something came up that required my attention so I had to stop it there and just post it. I'll have Alpha download English from satellites and then awaken Zordon in my next post.
“I mean, I do kinda feel like we should take them,” admitted Eddie.

“Yeah…” Tommy stared at the red crystal in the containment unit as if in a trance. Suddenly, the gems began to vibrate and emit a high-pitched electric buzzing. As if pulled by some unseen force, they flew out of the unit, shattering it. The teens watched in wide-eyed wonder as the crystals that had clearly chosen them went right into their grasp, like being drawn by a magnetic field. In that moment, they each knew they were chosen for something greater, something that they couldn’t really comprehend yet.

The remaining, unclaimed crystals floated there for a brief moment before vanishing in flashes of light matching their respective colors. Suddenly, the teens saw similar lights rapidly engulfing their own bodies. They felt themselves shift into some form of energy and then shoot straight up into the sky, phasing right through the roof as if it wasn’t there. In mere seconds, they traversed the entire depth of Earth’s atmosphere and shot right out into space. They rapidly approached what looked like a giant silver seashell in the planet’s orbit, and then phased right through that into what they soon realized was the inside of a spaceship.

They landed in a Command Center of some kind and felt themselves materialize back into their physical bodies, still grasping their crystals in their hands. The gems that hadn’t been claimed yet were floating in front of a small robot of some kind.



“Xwai xwai xwai xwai xwai! Tzentde gieh fgew lugfe enda pwofwey! Geraiswyyu? Dbakdae…” The robot began speaking in a high-pitched, worried, mechanized voice, but his words were some kind of alien language.

“Whoa!” Eddie looked around wide-eyed, then at the robot. “A fully sentient, multifunctional automaton! I've never seen anything like it!”

“What the hell just happened…” Tommy was just as bewildered.

Meanwhile back on Earth, Professor Cranston walked out of his office to find an empty room and the shattered containment unit on the floor…
