Introduction


This is a role play based around two songs that I've currently become stuck on, and I've managed to make a very good storyline dealing with it. The songs are "According to you" by Orianthi, and "Fireflies" by Owl City.
(If you've never heard the songs, I'd suggest seeking them out on YouTube and listening to them."

Part 1: "Fireflies"
You would not believe your eyes,
if ten million fireflies
lit up the world as I fell asleep.
'Cause they'd fill up the open air,
and leave tear drops everywhere.
You'd think me rude
but I'd just stop and stare.

I like to make myself believe
that planet earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say I'd rather stay
awake when I'm asleep
Cause anything is never as it seems.

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs,
from ten thousand lightening bugs.
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams




Part 2: "According to you"
According to you
I'm stupid,
I'm useless,
I can't do anything right.
According to you
I'm difficult,
hard to please,
forever changing my mind.
I'm a mess in a dress,
can't show up on time,
even if it would save my life.
According to you. According to you.

But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
he can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
irresistible,
everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
so baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
according to you.

According to you
I'm boring,
I'm moody,
you can't take me any place.
According to you
I suck at telling jokes cause I always give it away.
I'm the girl with the worst attention span;
you're the boy who puts up with it.
According to you. According to you.

But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
he can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
irresistible,
everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
so baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
according to you.

I need to feel appreciated,
like I'm not hated. oh-- no--.
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad you're making me decide.

According to me
you're stupid,
you're useless,
you can't do anything right.
But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
he can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
irresistible,
everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
according to you. [you, you]
According to you. [you, you]

According to you
I'm stupid,
I'm useless,
I can't do anything right.

Storyline


So many years ago... the two kings of the countries Munda and Manera were young twin brothers, sleeping in the same bed, playing in the gardens and taking their vows to become the heirs together. The twin kings were close and loved each other with a passion and they vowed to unite the kingdoms they were born unto rule, and create a oneness between their peoples. But again...so many years ago. Now each is full of bitterness for his brother and seek to wage war against each other... a product of being tainted and brainwashed by their advisers and country. Hate reigns between the two countries, and it is just as strong in their peasants, their nobles, their knights and their rulers...
But who was it that really betrayed them? Was it the Royal Advisers who have plotted together for many decades to take over the countries for themselves? Or was it the Immortal Sorceress' that each king has in his palace, sleeping peacefully, only to be awakened soon by the disturbances that have happened? Or was it the actual Kings themselves?

Actually... it was the Advisers, who over see punishments and are in charge of negotiating with the other kingdom... They have spread lies and deceit towards their kings whenever they have had the chance, anything to make the gap bigger. The line was crossed when the Manera Adviser ordered a raid on the his kings opposing country, killing many innocent people and violating many women, taking them back to their own homes for servants. Now the twins are waging a war against each other that is unjust, each believing the other betrayed the other.
The Twin Kings profiles I will leave up to whom ever wants to play them.

Now, Aska and Kanya have been awakened by their panicking faerie familiars, begging them to end the injustices and find out what has taken place.
In revelation to "Fireflies." The sorceress's see the present, past and future while they are asleep, and gather power from their dreams and the imaginings of other people. When they awaken they are a force not to be reckoned with, and they are the generals in time of war.
(I will be playing Kanya, and Aska is open for whom ever wants to play her)

In revelation to "According to You"
The Twins each blame each other for the wrong doings of each Adviser's treachery, each scheme perfectly planned to pit them against one another. There is some hositlity between Aska and Kanya as well until they solve the riddle and are now working on trying to get evidence of the Advisers betrayals.

1. I know this is an RP Guild, and I know everyone is welcome to the RPs in here, but PLEASE be literate. Use ((OOC)) or something signifying when its OOC, and also please use quotation marks and paragraph form. I dont want to see *actions* for actions.
2)Please PM me your profiles and what character you want to play and label the subject of the PM "According to Fireflies." somewhere in your pm please put a ninja emoticon so that I know you've read the rules.
3) Romance is encourage but no cybernetical porno please. I will have delete your posts and kick you from the RP. There are, as shocking as it may be, some very young people on gaia, and we don't need to teach them Sex Ed 101 yet.

5) There will be NO killing of characters unless the victim has PM'd me informing me that it is indeed okay for you to kill them and they will either make a new profile or they are just no interested in staying in the RP any longer.
6) Duels are accepted, and arguments are encouraged, especially between the twins. Remember the countries are side by side and it wouldn't be hard for one twin to go and see the other lol.
7) I uphold the right to change, add, subtract, and permit special one time omits to rules as I please.
