Sparrow liked it here.
It was extraordinarily peaceful here. And, considering the harshness of what had come to pass so far, this particular place was more than needed. There was something very gentle about being here; something very soothing, especially in the feel of the water as he touched his head down into it, letting the coolness sweep across his face, dousing his hair.
He liked the way the water felt when he carried it to the tree, which looked sadly ill and terribly sad. Sparrow knelt beside it, carefully poured the water onto its base, and was nicely rewarded for his troubles.

It was such an easy decision, really, to step into the lake. It was quite gentle, quite lovely, and Sparrow did not hesitate to move closer to it. If he had to guess, he would also have used the words friendly and inviting, but it seemed silly to add personality to an inanimate object such as a lake.
Still, there was something quite...personable about it...Quote: Your character exists in a timeline where everyone eventually became consumed by Insanity. Everything is grey now, chaotic and bleak. All you can hear are the voices, and the voices of the Queens that reside over you, lording over everything you do. You exist just a little better than a worker bee. Regardless of if you are Human, Halloween, or Horsemen, you are simply broken remains of yourself, mutated beyond recognition. A claw, hand, arms, limbs, everything has merged together in a distorted shattered world. All else you can interpret as you please, including roles and canon. You are only writing your character's POV but you can borrow NPCs and any players characters you got permission from. Quote: Sometimes, if he thought about it long enough, he still held regrets. Regrets weren't a bad thing, he had once decided - long ago, long enough that he no longer remembered when it was that he had made this particular decision. Regrets served a specific purpose - to remind you of what you should and shouldn't have done. Sparrow had tried to live most of his life without them, of course - he didn't like the feeling of something hanging over his head, like he had forgotten to do something particular. Regrets, however, have a way of eating one from the inside out. It was a particularly apt description, all things considered. He sat, half sunken into the grey of the world beneath his feet, buried in chaos and submerged in a tangled mess of confusion. Sometimes he could hear his own thoughts. Sometimes he couldn't hear anything at all. Sometimes the voices overtook him, pulled him down into their depths and drank at his sanity like water, surrounding him, burying him. He particularly liked this because it meant he wouldn't remember anything that he was trying to forget, because the blackness would encroach upon everything inside of his mind, rendering it useless. Sometimes, when he had little control over where his thoughts went, he thought of Wren. She was around somewhere; he knew that much, at least. But she, like him, had been overtaken by the grey, had been swallowed whole by it. He had tried to save her, had tried to push her to freedom while being drowned in it himself, but it had not worked, and they had both been captured by it. And now they were broken. Broken, he thought, one day when his mind seemed to work. Broken, but not entirely unfixable. Or maybe that was just wistful thinking, maybe that was just one of the voices talking to him, laughing at him, mocking him for what he had once had and would most likely never have again. They tended to do that sometimes. The grey slipped inside of the cracks in his skin, bleeding silver. With each movement, his body cracked and splintered like broken marble, and it was only with a great amount effort that he moved at all. He supposed it was a bad thing, to not move, but at the same time it gave him an odd sense of satisfaction because it meant that he could simply stay where he was. Stay, and be drowned in the voices. They needled at him, drove into the thoughts in his mind and buzzed against his skull. There had once been color in his vision - Sparrow remembered seeing vibrant, brilliant blues, and sweeping cascades of greens, rich, dark browns - but now it was all faded. The brilliance had seeped from the world like water and now it was nothing but grey. One day, Sparrow thought, as he sat there, saturated in the shades of it. One day he would break free of the Insanity that held him here. One day is what he told himself every day, but he never remembered it.

Quote: Your character is a private eye detective, and this time, they have been hired on what is claimed to be an unsolvable case. You arrive there with only your handy notepad and your own, sharp eye. Something about the case seems odd, from the body, to the events happening, something paranormal. You feel like there is more to the story than what you've been given, but you can't place a finger on it, not quite yet. If you are a horsemen, hunter, or student, it doesn't matter, you are a detective, in Film Noir setting (in the 1930's). You are only writing your character's POV but you can borrow NPCs and any players characters you got permission from. Quote: The Peacock PI Agency sat at the edge of a street crowded with various shops, businesses, and places to eat; a nondescript, quiet little building with a simple peacock feather as the only sign on its door. Most who passed by did not even notice this oddity as they walked on, making their way downtown to go on with their shopping and finish what business they had in town. And that was just how Sparrow liked it. The good thing about the PPIA was that although it was not a widely publicized agency, everyone seemed to discover it one way or another, and they always had a steady stream of visitors, which Sparrow much approved of. He did not go looking for cases; cases came looking for him, and this was just how it should have been. The PPIA consisted of three people in particular: Sparrow Heartreed, founder and top PI in the area. His partner, Jack, who was mostly the one to gather information, seeing as how Jack had a strange talent for moving unseen in the city. There was no one better at sniffing out the truth than Jack, and most who knew him (or rather, knew of him) called him simply "The Cat" because of his stealthy abilities. The last member of the PPIA was Jack and Sparrow's secretary, a pretty young thing by the name of Wren who managed their books and kept track of all of their cases. Sparrow did most of the write-ups when it came to the files, but it was Wren who kept everything neat and organized, for which Sparrow was grateful for (considering he usually had things in a terrible mess). Wren was shy and sweet and careful, and Jack and Sparrow had never had such a good secretary before. Sparrow, for the most part, tried not to think too much of Wren, though he was very fond of her indeed (and she was very pretty, but again, he tried not to think of this too much because she was his secretary). Sometimes he worked late into the night, just writing out case files: February 24th, 1932. Was approached by a young man by the name of Mr. King. His safe had been broken into at his home by an unknown thief, and wanted our help to discover who the culprit was. Jack did a bit of searching and determined that someone named Remi had paid a visit to Mr. King's home the very same day as the incident...
April 2nd, 1932. Still no word on the Xiuying case. She's been missing for several days now, and her husband is getting worried. I suppose he should be, considering that Jack and I are relatively certain that he's the one who made her go missing in the first place...
April 5th, 1932. Successfully rescued Miss Xiuying. She's a bit shaken up, but otherwise in good shape.
August 19th, 1932. Miss Hell (what an unfortunate last name) stopped by today to ask with our help regarding her missing sister, Freya. We assured her we would find out what happened, although there's not much information to go on, unfortunately...And so it went. Sparrow enjoyed the times when he could just sit back and write; there was something very satisfactory about having everything down on paper, all neat and organized inside of a file. The view from his office to the front desk where Wren said wasn't bad either, if he was being entirely honest with himself. But again, Sparrow very forcefully reminded himself that getting too attached with his secretary was entirely prohibited, and besides, he wasn't really that attached to her anyway, she was just particularly sweet and gentle and pretty and he liked the way she smiled and the sound of her laugh, but really he wasn't very attached to her at all, not at all. This not-attraction carried on for several more weeks until at last, with Jack's encouragement, Sparrow finally asked Wren out for dinner late one evening, trying very hard to make it sound casual. She said yes, to his great relief, and the rest is history.

Quote: Your character has been a minipet their entire life. They grew up in the Scarefari, where their parents told them to go to Minipet Battle School. Their hopes is to one day breed with a big, strong minipet and create beautiful children. However, on the way there are many adventures, including being bullied by stronger minipets in the Battle Arena, and nearly being sold to the Black Market, or taken to the Altar of Sacrifice. It's a cruel world in the minipet world, and not everyone is out to help them. If you are a horsemen, hunter, or student, it doesn't matter, you are a minipet, in the minipet setting (anywhere on the site is fair game for interpretation "icly"). You are only writing your character's POV but you can borrow NPCs and any players characters you got permission from. Quote: The very last day of Minipet Battle School consisted of Sparrow deciding that he and Jack needed to spend more time being unruly and getting sent to Minipet Detention because they couldn't stop getting into trouble.

Sparrow's pick of the pools was also an easy choice.
