Impaqt — Roleplayer Guild

I'm no mod, but to answer your question:

There are many cases in which GMs post Interest Checks in both Advanced and Casual, and actually make the Roleplay in either or. This is typically done though to see where the Roleplay generates the most interest and that's where the Roleplay will take place. There are some advanced RPs where there may be some players that post a little less than advanced standards, and vice versa, as long as overall with the majority of the players, it still maintains those standards. There is also a Interest Check section without any standard immediately labeled to it, that you will probably want to post in if you haven't already. I imagine it would be perfectly fine, as long as you state that the standards are advanced. You'd have more leniency with that if the RP was in casual though, which sounds like might be a better fit for this specific Roleplay, but then again, I don't know the specifics of the roleplay. I hope that helps.

Taivion Agles and Charon (Haros)

"Alright Tai, open wide for me. Show me what a dragon's mouth looks like.", Doctor Dhabi spoke in a thick African accent. The first time Taivion had heard it, he nearly jumped out of his own skin. Quickly re-posturing himself, he asked the doctor what was wrong with his voice. Dhabi only laughed and replied that he had accidentally swallowed a horse fly, as big as a horse itself. He was reluctant to believe the man, cause his neck or stomach would have been simply huge. However, it took little convincing for him to consider the possibility, and to consider Doctor Dhabi the absolutely best doctor in the world.

Taivion chuckled, his face blushing red, before opening his mouth wide. As he did so, the doctor slid the tongue depressor into his mouth. Taivion offered a small growl, which turned into a muffled laughter that had caught him off guard as he struggled to keep his mouth open. Dhabi smiled wildly and let the boy regain his composure before turning on a small light which allowed the doctor to see further into his throat.

"Oh wow." The doctor looked suspiciously into his throat. "My suspicions were true all along." Tai couldn't move his mouth at this point, but he gave Dhabi a curious look. "Your definitely turning into a dragon. Your teeth are getting huge. You'll be swallowing cows whole in no time." The doctor removed the light and depressor from his mouth in time to allow the boy to laugh at his joke without gagging on the tongue depressor.

Marsha Agles, who had been sitting off to the side enjoying every moment of her son's laughter spoke up, and asked the question that had been on her mind for the past year. Make that, the past 8 years. She had seen her child suffer so much since he was born. She wanted to know why. "What happened?"

Dhabi smiled at Taivion and then took a more serious tone. "I wish I had concrete answers for you Miss Agles. You know I've worked with several patients across the world who suffered from the comatose state your son has experienced." He paused briefly with an expression of surprise on his face. "But none quite the same as this one. It's rather amazing."

Taivion listened intently to the Doctor, unsure if he was listening simply because they were talking about him or because after all this time, he still found the doctor's voice to be odd and yet still very cool. He flashed his teeth widely though as Doctor mentioned his condition being amazing compared to others.

Dhabi gave Tai another large grin before standing and signaling Marsha to follow him. "We'll be right back Tai. Do you need anything? Are you hungry?" 

Taivion nodded excitedly responding with, "Pizza!" He watched his mother walk out the door, wishing she would stay. The feeling under it though, was almost foreign to him. He quickly shook it off and watched as the door fell shut, and then popped back open just enough to see the concerned look of his mother in the hallway. He could also hear the conversation.

"...on his death bed, there is no way he could have survived." He heard the now familiar voice of Doctor Dahbi. "Whatever happened to all those comatose patients, including your son, seemed not to only manage to preserve his body, but heal it. The MRI scans we took show no signs of heart fracture. The only abnormality we even could find was an increase in brain activity. That's if you don't consider the fact that his body was unexpectedly healed."

"So what now? What is so concerning about my son's condition now?" His mother began to speak. "When will we be able to go home?"

There was a moment of silence. "As much as this was a scientific miracle. Something that shouldn't have been possible to begin with, your son was in a coma for a year. His brain structure looks fine, but the increased activity like this is often precursors to Epileptic Seizures. It's also idea to consider that he could suffer from Narcolepsy or even Edema which could cause further issues. Going home is a possibility but..."

Taivion wasn't following the conversation well, but he did understand the look on his mother's face through the crack in the door. It was looking into the cold stare of death. She wanted to cry, and he knew it. He even tried to look away, but his eyes kept wandering back to her's. He hated to see her like that. Finally, after several more moments, the two seemed to disappear down the hall, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He stared out the window for some time. He hated being in this bed. He began to wander what Kyler was doing. He deeply missed his brother. He thought of all the things they'd do together once he got home. It was because of his brother that he never felt alone. Abandoned. He always knew, that regardless, he'd always have him out there, somewhere. He imagined him waiting at home, ready to play a game of war. Perhaps they'd go on a treasure hunt. He always loved that, even though it always seemed to end messy. Mom hated it. The only time he didn't care for it, was once when the hunt ended in a tomato soup bath for both him and his brother.

"Hello."

Taivion jumped.

"Hahaha!" An old man sat beside him laughing. "I imagined you were a bit braver than that." The old man gleaned. He was a bald old guy, with gray stubble for his beard and crooked nose as if it had been broken several times. He looked fairly disheveled in his hospital gown, and yet his eyes seemed to glow with a brightness that reflected a long and happy life.

Taivion was unsure of how to respond. He knew better than to talk with someone he didn't know. However, for reasons he couldn't explain, he felt like he could trust the old man. Reluctantly, he responded. "I am brave." Then he seemed to stop caring anymore. He let it all out, almost forgetting to breath. "I like heights and the dark doesn't scare me, not like my brother. He hates the dark. Even when the hallway light is not on. And one time there was this hole in our backyard and Kyler didn't want to stick his hand..."

The old man burst out in laughter. Tai sat confused, for a moment. The old man sat smiling from ear to ear. "You are very brave then." He chimed. "You remind me a lot of my own grandson."

Tai quickly continued, "Yea, well Kyler is my twin so we are a lot the same too. And he is brave too, just not as much as me." It was almost as if the thought that someone could be more like him than his brother almost offended him, but he was curious. "I like peanut butter jelly with the side though, and Kyler don't. Does your umm..." He couldn't remember the word. "... does he like peanut butter with sides?"

The old man cackled, his face lighting up. He almost seemed to be getting younger as they chatted. "No, my grandson isn't a fan of the crust either. Slowly, his smile took a serious turn and began to fade. "I'm going to miss him."

Tai didn't like the change in the man's mood. It made him uncomfortable. "Why? Where are you going?", he couldn't help but to ask.

The man softly shook his head. "I'm an old man. I'm sick. I'll go where we all go when we get old, sprout gray hairs, and begin to lose our minds." He smiled faintly, but Tai could tell the old man wasn't telling him everything. Just like his doctor wasn't. Just like his Mom wasn't. Ever since he had come back, he could just tell that something was wrong. Off. With everyone he came had come in contact with, and here it was again.

"Where is that at?" He asked impulsively. He wasn't sure he really wanted to know, but then again... "Maybe my grandma is there too."

The old man smiled. "I'm glad I got the chance to meet you Taivion." Tai's eyes went wide for a moment, he wanted to ask how the man knew his name, but then again grown ups always seemed to know lots of things. Before he got the chance to ask, the old man continued. "You have a beautiful heart. Don't let that change. Fight it." The old man reached into his pocket and pulled something small out. Tai could only seen a small glint of light that had momentarily reflected off it's surface, before he noticed the old man holding his hand out. "Here."

Taivion reached for the object, and as it fell into his hand, his head began to spin and sear with pain. It felt like a spike ramming through his brain. His eyes began to fade and become blurry, as he heard the heart monitor going off. He was growing weak and unable to control his movements. He could not focus on the nurses as they ran in, but he could hear them.

"He's having an Epileptic seizure. Someone call the doctor."

"What's this?"

"Some kind of coin. Put it over there."

"I.. my heart?"
