CURRENT CONTEST
Myself and Mkatsi are hosting a competition, the rules are simple and basic, the competion will be based on your RP and storytelling skills, but also that of interperating others characters. Throughout the guild and through knowing us we hope that you have got to know our characters Kirus and Aeval well, this competition will be based upon them.
We are looking for a several paragraphs describing Aeval's siring either from her point of veiw or Kirus, or even from someone elses perspective. This something we have never set in stone, but their are outlines that should be followed, these can be found throughout the guild, maybe from our posts, or profiles. You may even be able to decipher the emotions that link the two together from RP's that we may have done.
There will be a 5k prize for the winner and character or avi art by Mkatsi
Have fun, be creative and enjoy yourselves.

Well i must say you guys are really creative. Thats the hardest thing for a writer, writing from an unknown characters point of view. I really wish i could do that contest, crying but ive never even been in an RP with Aeval.
I know Kirus pretty well though. xd

Krookbook Well i must say you guys are really creative. Thats the hardest thing for a writer, writing from an unknown characters point of view. I really wish i could do that contest, crying but ive never even been in an RP with Aeval.

Haha, well it was pretty early on so Aeval would have been different anyway. There are roleplays around, specially the one in "desire for deviation" that you could read to get a hold on the characters a little if you wanted. Or perhaps just go off profiles?
If you want that is razz
It could all be from a passers by pov maybe, so you wouldnt even have to say about personalities much.
We know its a toughy, but we're not looking for perfection. We just thought instead of writing this scene ourself, it'll be cool to see how others play it out. Check the talent thread for pictures on the subject also.

Well, I attempted it. But I have it all typed up on Microsoft Word, so where could I e-mail it? I'm to lazy to go through and stick code in for all the italics and stuff.
sweatdrop
Unless you'd rather me just post it... Then I'll go through and do it all.

Dianne’s ears perked up with the soft, faint, and sorrowful moan she heard coming from inside her house, who is making that racket?! She thought. For, to her ears, that soft moan was like someone shouting right next to her. She listened for anything else that might give away the presence of the one who made the noise, but hearing nothing. She tossed her perfect bright red curls over one shoulder and returned to shelving her precious books.
But a few seconds later, she heard the sound of a heart pounding wildly, like that of a mouse that was hiding from the stealthy cat. She resisted her urge to poke her head out her window and shout for whoever it was to keep it down, but humans cannot help that their hearts beat. She heard a coat brush against the ground outside. The noise was… irritating her, to say the least. The air was thick, humid, and sticky. She wrinkled her nose in an expression of disgust. She hated being able to feel even the slightest of these weather changes. She placed another book on the shelf and, almost simultaneously, heard a gasp. She turned to see if it was coming from inside, but saw no one. Stupid kids. Probably found someone to rob. She sniffed and then heard a soft, feminine voice, “Kirus? Is that you?” the voice whispered.
Kirus… Hm… I think I have heard that name. Dianne thought as she shelved her books, one by one, still listening to the streets below her.
She heard a male voice laugh, deep and resonate. It almost sent chills down her spine. Almost. “I see you’ve been tasted.”
Dianne tensed. Either this was a boyfriend whose girlfriend had been sleeping around, or she was listening in on an agitated vampire. She prayed that it was the first. Vampire politics could get pretty messy, and the last thing she wanted was to have to deal with someone else angry with her for her nasty habit of eavesdropping.
“No one has tasted me.” The female voice whispered, “And what if they had? There’s no reason that you should be bothered. If someone had, I am yours no longer.”
If this girl was speaking to a vampire, then she was awfully bold. She knew that she wouldn’t have dared to speak to a vampire like that when she was human. Though it seemed so many years ago, she could remember her human life perfectly. Everything from beatings she had received for misconduct to the soft touch of her mother on her brow. It tingled her head just thinking about it.
Dianne heard fast steps, too fast for humans. She gave a light sigh, knowing that they were too occupied to notice her. I really need to learn to keep my ears shut. She smirked, then again, there might be a reason I have two ears and one mouth.
The male voice, this “Kirus” if that was his name, was resembling a snarl, pushed through his teeth. The air became tense, Dianne not moving a muscle as she listened. “Don’t lie to me, girl. This blood… it has been tainted… and taken.”
“And what if it has?” the female snapped, her words ending in a snarl.
My, my. She is much too bold. Dianne smiled, knowing all too well that this might snap the restraint of this Kirus fellow. Dianne walked over to her window, peering through a slit in the blinds to see. The male was handsome from what she saw, then again, what vampire wasn’t? He had dark brown ringlets, much like her own, but with her being as vain as she was, she believed that hers were far better with their almost glowing shade of red. His skin was chalky pale, and like marble, even from this distance. The girl was also fairly pale, with black hair that was perfectly straight. Clearly human thought Dianne, No vampire lets themselves go that unkempt.
The male spoke again, “Then, my dear, you have broken our bond. All this time I hunted for you, for all I knew you were dead because I couldn’t feel you… You have done me a great disservice.” He tightened his grip on her throat and licked her neck. The girl whimpered quietly. He forced her against the wall and walked back off into the shadows. Looking very angry, if one was to state the obvious.
Dianne smiled, a bit impressed by the man’s restraint. She herself would have killed the girl right there for her impudence.
A tear shone off the girl’s cheek, “Yours… is that all I am? A slave to you? God, you wouldn’t even care if I was dead.” She sank to the ground, her hands around her neck.
Uh oh, now she’s done it. Dianne smiled. This was becoming an interesting show, though she knew she would probably get killed if she was caught.
She watched Kirus stop in his tracks. Here it comes… She stood up, put her hand on his shoulder, the she passed out on the ground.
At first, Kirus didn’t seem to even notice. Then, he was suddenly at her side, all his anger dissipating into concern. Dianne couldn’t seem to place the cause of it, but either way this was turning out to be an interesting show. His hand almost touched her cheek, but the he pulled back, “Dark” He spoke firmly, “Dark, you must wake now.”
Dianne smiled, realizing already that to this fellow, all he really seemed to know was to command others. She wondered if he had perhaps been a military officer or a noble in his human life. No, there was no probably about it. He had that commanding air. He was definitely either a noble or military officer.
The girl woke, then pulled away from Kirus, “Please don’t hurt me.” She whispered.
Dianne gave a light snort, I’d do worse than hurt you, girl. Be glad you are in his hands, not mine.
“Dark…” The man whispered. Dianne was able to see tears in his eyes.
What was this affection that he had for her that he would not only be so forgiving, but also cry when she had said something so simple as ‘Don’t hurt me’?
Dark, as he had called the girl, clung to Kirus and pulled close to him, “Oh God… I am so sorry, Kirus, I should have never left you! I should have never run off to the other clan… I never meant to…” She held him closer, “Please forgive me.”
Dianne held her breath, watching Kirus hold still in shock for a moment, then hold Dark close to him, his arms cradling her head and stroking her hair gently, “My dear, there is nothing to forgive. I am your sire no longer; any clan you join is your own.”
Dianne heard Dark’s heart pounding and her breathing quick and heavy, “But…” she looked down, and then back up at Kirus, “I never wanted to join the clan! They said they would hurt you if I didn’t! I couldn’t let them… you wouldn’t of had a chance, they were too many. I never wanted to leave you… never.” The last “never” was spoken in a whisper.
Dianne still held her breath. To any human, holding it that long would have been an impossible feat.
Kirus sighed, “You hated me, I felt it. You broke our bond and that is something only you can do and only you and I can feel. What would the profit be for my enemies? If you had come to me, I would have taken you away from them, Everywhere I go, my name is known and there are those who wish to kill me, but those who would give me the world also… This is all I ever wanted to give to you.”
There was a moment of silence, Dianne still holding her breath with the tension of it all.
Dark spoke, “Can you really say that you didn’t hate your sire? Even for the slightest of a time?” Her hands closed into a fist, still holding onto Kirus, “I loved you, but also hated you for what you did and what you kept on doing… But, I acted on a sudden impulse… One I have regretted for ages.”
Kirus stood, his voice shouting in pure heartache. A heartache that Dianne didn’t understand, “I loved my sire! I loved him…” Kirus’s voice broke toward the end.
Dark scrambled away from Kirus, no doubt to run from the fury that the Dianne and Dark were probably both expecting. She didn’t say a word, Dianne still held her breath. Dark started to walk away. You can’t just let her leave! Go and stop her! Dianne thought.
Kirus fell to his knees in pitiful sobbing. He glanced up to see Dark walking away, “Don’t!” he cried out to the night so loudly that any others would have heard it. If there were any others. They had fallen prey to Dianne long ago. “Don’t leave me again, Dark. I can’t order it, I have no authority on you now, but I’m asking, begging, please don’t go.”
Dark turned, her dress whirling with her movement, “I never wanted to leave in the first place.” She ran toward Kirus, sinking into his arms, an arched her neck. Dianne knew only to well what this simple gesture meant. “Please, I can’t live without you.”
Dianne turned back to her books, listening, but not watching. This moment was to private for her to dare watch. If he knew that she had watched that, she was positive nothing would stop him form torturing her for hundreds of years. She heard Kirus sobbing even more. “Dark…” He murmured, “Be my equal.”
Dianne smelled the blood in the air, shelving her books slowly, still paying attention for any further conversation between the two of them. But, all she heard were moans of pleasure emitting from the two of them.
”Oh… Dark… my angel…” He whispered reverently.
Dianne resisted her urge to peak again, listening to the stillness of the night air.
"My dear, never leave me, this, what we have now, it is eternal" Kirus spoke.
”I would never leave you... not unwarranted” Dark said, her voice making it sound as if it were obvious.
Dianne felt the dawn drawing closer and she closed the blinds on her window shut to protect herself. The events of this night had left her much to do when the next night came around, but she wouldn’t have changed her actions if given the chance. These two had given her much to think on.
She listened as Kirus spoke again, “There is no reason to fear, no reason to cry, my dear.” Then he whispered, “Come, my love, we must avoid the dawn.”
