YOU HAVE BEEN SHIPWRECKED

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
The thick fog surrounding everything makes everything not in front of you hard to see...





Or at least that's the first thought that crosses you mind, as you look at the growing pile of students all heading towards the tent. There is a small commotion going about: first of all, where are all the staff and ToTer's?. It seems strange that they would just all disappear at once.

Examining the Surroundings
Right beside the supplies tent is the strangest contraption. It seems to be made of a strange glowing blue material, emanating a slow, humming noise. Touching it only creates a light sparking sensation, like being shocked, and nothing much else. What on earth could that ominous looking monument be for?

You get a little closer to it when suddenly - a figure pops out of the contraption. It's a face you have never seen before either - what the - wasn't that the Amityville crest on their shirt? They seem as bewildered as you, but unfortunately move into the crowd fast enough for you not to really see much more of them.

Behind the supplies tent a little away, next to a cracking bonfire is smaller shed made out of an unrecognizable solid material. This only door to this shed is locked, knocking on it creates a strange hollow sound.

The supplies tent:
At least the supplies tent seems friendly, if not well overly equipped. In fact, there are exactly three tables in the supplies tent. The first tent is littered with uniform brown knapsacks. At this point you can use any supplies you can get, considering you have no clue what is waiting for you.

You can always open it up later in your own time.


On the second table lies an assortment of blunt objects, from sticks to wooden clubs, to... was that the end of a table leg? You have nothing, not even your Fear to fend for yourself, so picking up any sort of offensive weapon is a good choice at this point.

The last table is empty... but it looks like it had prior activity before hand. It is the only table not covered in a fine layer of dust.

Choosing a weapon and HP values:

- All students will start off 25 HP. THIS VALUE WILL NOT CHANGE. Hp damage is cumulative, with the exception of boss ORP threads.
- Occasionally in your rps you will be attacked by mysterious hooded figures. Please adjust your HP values accordingly, and use the battle system below to attack:

Attacking:
- Roll 2-6sided dice, and rp using your blunt weapon. Subtract 6 from the result

- During battle please make sure to QUOTE your opponents posts so we know they are engaged in battle. Battles are 1 VS 1, surrounding opponents are cannot engage themselves in battle for fear of hurting their allies as well.

KO:
- If you are KO'ed please return to this thread when 12 REAL TIME hours have passed. Your character will dissipate if you have been KO'ed, please rp out the action. Upon 12 REAL TIME hours (24 IC hours), your char will reform at the strange glowing contraption with a full HP bar. You must RP their reformation. Something is now interfering with this. A KO'd student now dissipates without respawning!

Escaping:

THE STRANGE CONTRAPTION

The portal is smoking! It is all but broken, the contraption spinning wildly, fizzling every so often. Large gouge marks, similar to that made with a sharp bladed weapon remain impressed deep into the portal itself.


((OOC FOR LATER: The strange contraption seems to radiate with a light source of its own. For some reason, students are seen coming out from it, though noone can come back in. Though the object seems extremely foreign, standing next to it makes you feel more at ease...
- Once a day, you may choose to rp your student resting next to the contraption. This will FULLY recover your student's hp. You cannot rest if you are "traveling" in another ORP thread.
- As mentioned above, when your student is KO'ed they will pop out of the contraption 12 OOC, 24 IC hours later, fully formed, but most likely shocked and confused. They can continue and choose a different direction upon reviving.
- If your student is KO'ed in a PRP thread, please have the other student "wrap up" the RP .
-If you did not participate in the boat RP, you can rp your student suddenly arriving from this portal. They are probably shocked that they were pulled from this last location, and also, the stranger reason why?
- Please note: you can only have one student in this event thank you!))

PLEASE ENTER A PASSWORD?

The door of the only locked shed has some faded out writing on it. Apparently the lock needs a combination password of letters and numbers? Or just letters... or just numbers, it is very vague. The rest of the door is covered in strange scratches, making everything very hard to read.

Wait where can you get a password?

Figuring out the daily password


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


- Each day, the door will ask for a different password. THIS IS MONITORED ON SITE. We cannot tell you where the password lock is located, you must use the item clues on the site (mostly) OBTAINED from this forum to figure out the daily password. You will get one piece of a strange map for solving it... which you can ICly rp out.


The bag is for...?


- Please RP your student obtaining a bag, and also include in your FIRST RP POST, your minipet profile name. A bag will be sent to your items inventory.

exclaim Visit your items inventory here!

The foggy ocean waves crashed down ont he sand, carrying something large and lumpy in it's shallows, slowly pushing it towards the shore. Christof was not a strong swimmer. In fact, his idea of swimming involved flailing madly in terrified panic until the waves had swallowed him and engulfed his senses and he sank like a rock.

His body was limp and still as the waves hit him again, pushing him a little further up onto the shore, too filled with water to breath but too undead to be drowned.

((I have to jet to work so Chris is unconscious until I get back, just wanted in on the party. X) Minipet Profile. He'll wake up once some sexy ghoul gives him mouth-to-mouth someone kicks him enough. I have more than 4 posts rockin' for the record. ))

There had been a storm, mini pet models on a rampage, and chaos. Absolute and abundant chaos. The last thing she remembered before they'd all been thrown overboard was pain and light. a shock of electricity through her system strong enough to sober the djinn almost completely before lightning began crashing down in quick succession upon the monsters. They got strong, over powered everyone, and took over the ship. All previous crew, Hyde included, had been thrown into the ocean. She didn't know where her classmates were, she didn't know where anyone was. Once surfaced the djinn had grabbed onto anything she could and clung to it for dear life as she was tossed about through the storm.

It had eventually passed, and with the returned calm of the ocean came sleep from sheer exhaustion. Draped over her bit drifting wreckage the djinn had slept, dreams swirling and unfocused, until she was washed up on shore. Tossed by the washes until she eventually found herself sprawled out in the wet sand of some beach.

Pushing herself up on shaking arms the ghoul crawled forward, out of the surf, and tried to stand. Only to crumple back to her knees as pain shot up her left leg from her ankle. It was enough to tear a startled gasp form her, tears welling at the corners of her eyes as she turned, automatically pressing hands over the injury and recoiling immediately from the touch of her own hands.

Pulse now beating in her throat, the marid tried to calm her frantic breathing as she stared down at her own leg. From about mid calf and down the tanned length of her leg was swollen, blossoming with dark bruises. Sprained at best, if not broken.. She must have gotten it caught, or bashed it against the side of the boat when they'd gone over. It wasn't life threatening, but it was serious enough. Without proper healing the djinn wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Soaking wet and seemingly alone, she touched a fingertip to the swollen injury experimentally, cringing at that tiny pressure. This was most certainly not good.

And where were her classmates? Were the other ships alright? She stared around herself, looking for any sign of anyone. There was a fire down the beach, and the silhouette of a tent. Something blue. Then there, further down the beach, was something large and lumpy and vaguely person shaped. Was it Christof? He wasn't moving..

When the frankenminis threw her and the rest of the passengers of The Risk Factor overboard, Tess decided to just wing it and fly. Or rather, she would have, had the lightning storm not hit. She didn't have time to weigh her options or even try to help the other students when a wave swallowed her into its watery embrace.

Eventually, a mess of hair and wings washed up on the foggy shore. Crimson eyes slowly cracked open, blearily peering through drenched strands of black hair. She wasn't certain if she was seeing things but was that a bonfire in the distance? She could almost make out other figures. Were they her classmates from the Risk Factor? Or were they from the other boats? Or...

At all this speculation, pain shot through Tess' head. When she opened her mouth to groan, what came out instead was water. Lots of it. Followed by a long series of coughing. Oh Jack, everything hurt. Water-soaked wings weakly flapped, the pathetic motion kicking up clods of damp sand but little else. It was clear Tess didn't have the strength to get air-born, which meant if she wanted to get away from the water she was going to have to crawl (as undignified as it may have looked).

Her only alternative was if someone came across her and helped prop her up. In her proper state of mind, she would have simply whined about it in her head. But the residual effects of the Hell-O had her growling aloud "Just my candlejacking luck."

-----------------------

((ooc: Tess will not be joining the event and I will now proceed to get the necessary 4 posts for Petro))

Petro pulled the door to his lair open, stepped through the threshold, and was greeted by the sight of other students and his nostrils assaulted with sea air. "A-anak ng-?!" he exclaimed, thoroughly bewildered and confused. He could have sworn he had gone into his room and not wherever this place was. Hands immediately balled into fists, his muscles tensing in the event he needed to defend himself.

He tried to revert himself back to his real form and found himself unable. Okay, things just went from bad to worse in the tikbalang's opinion. And when he did not like something, his first instinct is to hit it. But since the object of his ire was his situation, well, he'd have to settle for the next best thing: Firmly grabbing the first body he could and demanding in a none-too-friendly tone, "Did y' do this?"

If one looked closely enough, one could see a distinctive orange-and-yellow blob careening towards the island at great speed. One moment, she was on a shark and paddling just fine, thank you, and the next thing she knew, she was faceplanting quite hard into some beach. Now Carthusia, demoness of Pride, was acting the part of an ostrich, hand firmly planted in the sand. She wanted to just give up at this point. The beach wasn't even sunny. Her bag had been kept safe being strapped to her, though she was waterlogged through and through. Growling into the dirt, Carry finally stood up to survey just what in Jack's name they had so unceremoniously crashed into.

Bleh, it was not good enough.

There were tents and masses of students crawling up the beaches like something out of a war movie. There was that onryo student she saw earlier running merrily up the beach like a weirdo to assist others. She stopped at some students and tried to help them up before wandering over to... were those portals? What the Jack was going on? Oi. Carry raked a hand through her tangled blonde locks and looked about, trying to figure out what to do next. Something about supplies? Ugh. Slinging her duffel bag onto her aching shoulder, Carthusia made her way towards the tent to check out just what they had to take with them on this Jack-awful field trip. And where was Livi?!

(( I have four posts already for Carry, and here is the minipet profile!. Kasumi will be staying behind to look after other students and assist whatever staff is staying behind as well.

In subsequent RP posts, Carry has gotten to the tent and acquired a knapsack and an empty medical kit!))

LW had NO JACKING IDEA what had happened. They had been dodging tables and Sarias was getting on her last nerve. Then quite suddenly, Red had appeared, shouted those words LW had feared hearing...and they'd been ejected overboard. Into the ocean. THE OCEAN. And some fish...no shark! Sharks had given them rides. And she was wet, so ready to be done with this, and...

...CRASH.

Stupid sharks.

The she-wolf was sprawled on the ground, not wanting to move at all. She was on land now, right? RIGHT?! Oh Candlejack! LAAAAND! She didn't even care if there was anyone that had landed on her right now. All she cared about was no more small boat! And no more being stuck out on the ocean. Then her mind reconnected and a squeak like sound escaped. Oh JACK! Who was around her? Was it safe for her to be just sitting there like an easy target?

Scrambling to her feet and looking very much like a drenched cat (there were going to be several of those, quite literally), LW glanced all around to see if there were any familiar faces about. Especially a particular ghost ghoul.

Waitaminute. They were on land! That meant one thing. WHERE WERE THE OTHERS?! Oh Jack she wanted to find them. But so far, she didn't see any of them. Although there seemed to be a stream of students heading towards some tent looking thing. Taking a few shuffling steps, she started to head towards that. Maybe the others were there...OH HEY CARRY! THAT WAS CARRY!

"CARRY!" LW ran after the demoness. She needed at least one buddy that wouldn't try and do anything to her right now. Until she found the faces she was looking for.

Oh god, the world was spinning. Just getting up the beach was work enough, and Carthusia found that the island was strangely tilted to the left. She blinked a few times to catch her bearings when she'd heard her name being called. The blonde turned around to see One Familiar Werewolf running up the beach towards her. "Ell Double Yew~!" cried the demoness, and suddenly they were transported to a field full of dead sunflowers, gazing at each other in loving familiarity, running in ridiculous slow motion. Finally, they were reunited after a hellish journey, to be together forever! Working as one against all odds---!

Except none of the transporting or slo mo actually happened.

Instead, the demon's toe hit a rock, sending her flying towards the werewolf. They embraced at some point (messily) and crashed into the soft sand of the beach in a pile of hair and tail and utter disappointment. And perhaps pain. Carthusia blinked, ending up on the bottom of this pile of fail, and she spit out some sand. "Good to see you're still alive, comrade." she said, picking a seashell out of her teeth. "Now that reintroductions are in order, shall we go check out those tent...thingies? Have you seen anyone else?"

((Mini Profile))

Before Bul could swipe another potion to throw from his boat, he and the others had been cast about in a ruthless manner by the contact of the boat to the shallow waters. At this time Bul had nobody to thank but Hyde for providing the lime Hell-O that had his heart racing and keeping his mind off of the chilly water at his knees. "Risk Factor has lived up to it's name," he snarled as he jogged up on shore.

Slowly he turned to see what carnage may be behind him in the ocean but saw relatively nothing. Only the lighting lit small portions of the heavy clouds and dark sea before him. He could make out the figure of Christof in the water and when his body floated close enough actally made an effort to draw him unto the dry sand. Heh, why not afterall? Of course Bul did nothing further and instead looked around to see if there was anyone he could get help from.

"Damn, where's water girl?" he groaned and trudged up the shore hauling Christof as far as he could until he saw the group of students nearing the supplies tent. Quickly he arrived and looked around at all of the faces. "Hey guys uh patchwork boil is unconscious... wait what the hell is going on, did everyone else shipwreck too?"

Bul nipped his lip angrily and looked to the supply bags and the weapons lying around. "Is this some kind of fright club boot camp thing?" he asked.

It was a magical experience, running towards the demoness. The demoness running towards her. They both held their arms out, ready to embrace each other like long time friends, maybe lovers, and all the happy field of gold type of stuff. It would be perfect...FAIL.

Carry seemed to have tripped and LW had a demon careening into her. They went down in a tumble of wings, tails, arms and legs. BUT THAT WAS ALRIGHT! They had succeeded in embracing. Sort of. LW blinked down at the demoness and grinned. "Good to see you too, partner." She plucked a shell out of the demonesses hair and tossed it over her shoulder.

Carefully moving to get off the demoness, LW got back on her feet and blinked at her tail. There was something attached to it. Was that a crab? Flicking her tail hard, she sent the little thing flying and waited for Carry to get to her feet again. "Yes. Reintroductions are out of the way now." violet eyes glanced towards the tent...things. "Sure. That seems to be where other students are heading. And not yet." But hopefully she would soon!

[[ kuromizuki - Ren has all of his posts in already! <3 ]]

The first thing Ren thought was I'm going to die.

This rather ridiculous thought was followed closely by OH DEAR JACK I'M REALLY REALLY GOING TO DIE.

The boat, Professor Blue's lovely Lady in Red (though "lovely" was a wildly generous exaggeration in Ren's mind) had hit - well, something. What exactly it had hit, Ren was not entirely sure of at all, but whatever it was, the boat had shuddered into it with a horrible shuddering and a terrifically loud crash! and the next thing Ren knew he was airborne.

Airborne. That was not even the worst of his problems. Almost as soon as he had been flung into the air, Ren discovered the magical wonders of that thing called gravity. In a few seconds he had plummeted downwards into the ocean with a loud, indignant, and slightly terrified squawk. It was only after he was in the water that he found Gabrian and clung to the nix for dear life. He blacked out a bit after that, the only thing in his mind the desperation to get to land and holding onto the demon's neck and shoulders to keep himself from drowning.

When he awoke next, he was...wait, not...in the water. Blearily Ren blinked awake, pushing himself to sit up, the world spinning around him. His fingers touched sand - wait sand! Oh, dear Jack HE WAS ON LAND.

Wide awake now, Ren scrambled to his feet. Yes, he was definitely not on a ship, he was on land, and steady land. Resisting the urge to drop to his knees and scream gratitude up to the Diety of Not Being On a Ship Anymore, Ren's head turned quickly left, then right, looking for anyone, any familiar face - (where had Gabrian gone, anyway?) where were Alessa, LW, and Jove? Or Natalia or Vaith or -

There. A wonderfully familiar redhead flashed and without another thought in his head Ren raced across the sand towards the tent he could see.

"ELLLLLL DOOOOUUUUBBBBLLLEEEE YOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!" he screeched, and all but threw himself onto the werewolf, tackling her to the ground, not particularly caring who saw or who was around or who she had been talking to. Ren had not seen the shewolf in over two weeks, and his relief at her being all right, mixed with the relief of being on land, overtook any really rational emotions.

"LW!" Ren cried out, his arms around her neck. He kissed her cheek, burrowing his face into her shoulder. "LW I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE ALIIIIIVEEEE!"
