Emmett Warde II

Kai Engel - Somnolence
The Desert at Dusk


"Do you even know what that does to you?" Floure questioned Emmett and he knew she had every right to be worried. But also with that, he was well aware of what the Desert Flower is capable of. "Eyes red as blood, profuse sweating, and an overheated body...," that of course those were the effects lasting only for short moments after intake, which was obvious because he has never exhibited amongst the others those reactions once far after he had drugged himself up. As for the more damaging, he believed it be better for him to submit to the daily doses rather that suffer the risk of suicide. For it all boils do to which he rather have- sorrow or fury, he casts his best bets with a hot head. Progressing into maiden's words, Emmett was quite surprised for her to propose that she stay with him in some sense of supervision. Not that he did not trust her, but Emmett had suspected being caught was the worse known situation. Yet he never pictured Floure confronting him, perhaps due to his attempts to avoid her, thus preventing any awkward contact as he ever bore little to no company with girls his age. Even in his escapes in the tavern back home, Emmett skipped over any flirting with wenches and instead jump straight into fist-fights. But none the less, Floure definitely has his attention, even before this dreadful event.

"Does your uncle know about this?" What would Rook think of the situation? Emmett does have a clear prediction, but its fair enough to say that his uncle has far share of mysteries. Why can't Emmett be just as sneaky? He was not jeopardizing the rest of the group, just so long as he remain with caution, the kid found no harm in it rather than the harm against himself. But by Floure's response, his addiction was nothing he wished to share with the others. "No, just you. Look, I've been careful by tying my wrist to a tree using my rope so I don't wander off... I just need to keep this as a secret-- you need to keep this as a secret, please." He would have gone into more detail, but he did not know how long he had before they were both found.

Speaking of which, soon enough they were, so Emmett did it. He had to think fast because he could see a figure in the dark. Floure meant well when she was looking over her shoulder, but Emmett was at an advantage since could view what was directly behind her. Emmett did not care who it was, he had put his insurance into something. So, because Emmett is one with speed, or at least makes an effort to advance that aspect, it was in the blink of a second that he made a daring snap decision, not thinking of the consequences.

Emmett locked his lips with Floure's. The kiss came off more aggressive than intended, perhaps it was because of his sudden jolt to it, leaving him with no gentler approach. He felt bad throughout it all, he didn't think he was ready for it and feared that Floure would hate him afterwards, even then it was obvious to her that he was holding back. He wanted to hold her hand or hug his arms around her shoulders, though it was that fear again, scared that those things would only make it worse. In the end, he cut it off short, just as long as he had estimated who ever was out there would at least get a glimpse.

Stepping back, Emmett knew all he had left was to turn his eyes onto the intruder. Please be Othen, please be Othen, please be Othen, He kept chanting in his head in the rare moments that he thinks quietly to himself. Out all of the other explorers, he tagged along with Othen the most, thus he rather had been interrupted by a man he saw both as a buddy and a rivalry. But instead, just the person he did not want to see. It was Grace O’Faolain, or who Emmett has dubbed as, the Matriach.

Emmett just did something he regrets, something that he feared Floure would hate him for, all because that person was lurking about. He just wanted to be left alone, that was all he wanted the entire night. But if not, he was ready to storm.

All he had were short simply words to Grace, "Piss off."


@MacabreFox To me, I don't imagine any specific sleeping arrangements, rather some are in tents while others simply lying on mats. I had Emmett's post assume Floure was on a mat, thus giving reason how he could bump her. Hope that is a bit of help to you. I'm hoping to have the next post out pretty soon.
@dreamingflowers Thank you, I've decided to do something I that I believed adds more depth which is adding in the music. Throughout the roleplay with different scenes and such, I'll insert a new track. As, for what Floure can do, well she can snatch away his bag or allow him to use it. If she decides to allow him to use it, she can stay with him or not, its your choice. Just make sure she doesn't leave the scene just yet.
@Deserted@MacabreFox@dreamingflowers@The New Yorker@Fetzen

Alright guys, I just submitted the first post, and I don’t usually do this but for the scenario to play out well, I’m going to have to clarify a short order. The order will be 1st post- me (which is obviously already posted), 2nd post- @dreamingflowers, 3rd post- me again, and then @MacabreFox. The rest can jump in from there.


Emmett Warde II


Kai Engel - Somnolence
The Desert at Dusk


If Emmett were a dog, he'd foam at the mouth. Coincidentally, he was called his uncle's Little Pup for being a runt, not for his now yearnful crave for the hallucinogenic dust of a Desert Flower. It was his secret, his addictive burden- one he rushed to replenish. Hurriedly in whirling anxiety, the kid bounced from off his slumbering rags. Often, Emmett is skilled in his attempts at a stealthful escape, yet his hunger prevented that for when pacing his steps Emmett nudged Floure and soon regretted it the second after he realized. So he stood there still in silence determining whether she would wake, because he had to be sure at least to himself that none of the others would recognize his scheme. No nothing, she just slept, or so it seemed. Silently backing away with caution, Emmett left the sight of the rest with a firm grasp on the strap of his pack.

“That was a close one,” Emmett spoke softly in a whisper to himself as self-talking was a habit for him. But it was safe as camp stood far behind him at this point. He headed to the nearest tree he last sighted. Its leaves had withered away yet the trunk posed sturdy, and a few of the strong spare branches surrounded the tree. His plan was simple, grapple one end of the rope he kept inside his pack around the trunk with the other end of it tied against his wrist. With this, Emmett could inhale the powdery drug of the flower, enhance a trance, and be shielded away from wandering off and potentially getting himself hurt or lost. But before that, he simply picked the stem out from his bag and stared at the precious petals.

Every time before a hallucination, Emmett thought of home. He imagined himself seeing his mother, yet remembering his immature fits, the ones he has carried with him on the journey. But now because of an addiction, they have been intensified eliminating his sense of standing in line. Then the grief ensued, though he did not cry because this was suicidal sorrow mixed with frustration. The expedition grew hopeless and he knew that. Water supplies near dwindled down to nothing while they exhausted the last of their horses the morning prior. He felt the agony getting the best of him with a sweat laid face and an uncomfortable shaking of cold palms. But soon those palms turned into fists. With the Desert Flower in his right hand, he struck a blow to the tree, before allowing the flower to drop in a glide to the grains of sand. Yet, as soon as he turned around he was no longer alone.

"Here me out, please," he pleaded with the begging eyes that stared straight into Floure's. He frankly relieved it was here to unravel his secret, but being in front of the sight of her, speaking to her, that was nerving racking by itself. He had an attraction for the young girl near his age, but sad enough with feelings he stood too uncomfortable to show, he bottled them up, ignoring her. Sometimes with the flustered anxiety he acted pushy around her, but not now, now he wished only for mercy. Emmett believed that she could distinguish the flower in front of him as she had skills in medicine, thus meaning that she dealt with herbs and other sorts of resources. Letting out a sigh he confessed, "It may sound pathetic... sometimes I can't help myself. Honestly, you are really the only one I can trust." Emmett glanced down frowning after scooping up the drug and shoving it back into his pack.

@dreamingflowers@MacabreFox

I take both of your comments to heart, and I'm actually a little stunned that you think so. Although I have always anticipated in this happening, it feels unreal to have this much support. So thank you :)
I do feel a bit of some pressure with the first post, especially with me doing things a lot differently than I normally do which will be reveal quite soon. I will say that all the characters have been perhaps the best bunch I have ever seen because they are all so far different, thus foretelling immensely unique character interaction.
@MacabreFox I love all the positive feedback. I'm feeling like I'm on cloud nine right now, and I was not even quite sure about the character relationship, but I stuck with it anyways. Yeah, I like to have my roleplays set up right before some drama, not orchestrated for some meet and greets.
@MacabreFox Hats off to you on the character relationship sheet, I almost nearly choked because I was laughing as I read Grace's feelings for Emmett while also eating.
Now, I just can't wait to start
@Deserted@MacabreFox@dreamingflowers@The New Yorker@Fetzen

The character relationship sheet is out. Try having it finished as soon as possible because once all them are in we can then begin with my first post. I most likely have already clarified this, but we will begin a week after the arrival into the Whispering Badlands. Because of this, the characters should know each other to a certain extent through either friendships, rivalries, romantic interests, or somewhere in between. Once you have finished your character relationships, post it in the character slot below where I put Emmett’s, you don't need approval for that.
Emmett Warde II

Age:19 | Role: Adventurer 1 | Reason for being here: To prove both his manhood and that he shares the same glory as his father

Friends ☺ | Romantic Interest ♥ | Neutral ◑ | Friends with benefits/flirtation/together ♥♥ | Enemies ☠


Emmett Warde II
"I want help, but I don't want to admit it."

In the end goal, Emmett is not here to get something, he is here to prove something. He understands that, though he begins to see the unknown parts of him and the desert is drags out intense emotions. One thing Emmett hates about himself is his indebted relationship to his drugs. He wants to be cured yet he does not want a doctor for the fact that he rather keep it a secret between only himself. But the secret in itself scares him as suicidal thoughts flood in the absence of the Desert Flower. Usually this happens in the late hours of the night, for in the day comes the time of confidence and a cocky attitude, keeping his chin up and demanding respect through effort. It is then that Emmett carries himself the best.

☠☺ Othen Perelyn ☺☠
"I swear on some days, I just want to slap the silly war paint off his silly face... On other days, I bloody want to hug the brawny berserker."

The two are rivals, there is no question about that, yet Emmett does not clearly despise the berserker. Instead, the boy comes off moreover annoyed by Othen's tests of manhood, or the fact that he loses his bets against him. They have clashed before as Emmett has adapted a short fuse and a hot-head due to his drug addiction, however it is not only that because the two also are both very stubborn. All in all though, Emmett never wants to see Othen go, strangely enough, the big man is Emmett's big hero. He just doesn't show it because the thirst to beat him just once in a match of hand-to-hand combat far exceeds feelings deep down. The closest at this point Emmett will get to friendly interaction is a teasing banter or mischievous prank. In conclusion, to Emmett's perspective, it is a love hate relationship.

Rook Warde
"Love my uncle, but I would also love some answers to my question. But that's the thing, I'm a little scared to ask those questions."

What hurts the most to Emmett is to be so close to a man whose rumors circulate around the fact that he could have possibly killed his father. It is not right, not right at all, so you imagine how much harder it is to ignore the bad rumors. But he is a good mentor and great teacher, Emmett cannot deny it and he cannot let the naysayers get to his head. Yet he must instead hold his uncle responsible for everything he sees with his own two eyes. And so far the man has partly raised him with his mother, Emmett just wishes he could diminish the mysteries and boil down to just who his uncle. But no matter, the nephew trusts his uncle with his life or he would not embark on the journey in the first place. Emmett hopes the journey will not only his rite as man, but that it will show his uncle's true colors.

☠♥ Floure Camlo ♥☠
"Both frustration and attraction... I wonder if she ever notices. Yet again, she is a fortune teller, they read people for coin."

It is no surprise that a young attractive woman near the same age as Emmett would grab his attention, and grab it she does, tightly at that. Floure must sense it too if she is as intuitive as it seems, although Emmett has not verbally expressed the liking, his eyes say a lot has he has gave long unintentionally gazes to her form. But even her as a person makes him crack a smile on the inside. Other than the stares, he has not spared much more communication to her as he in fact fights himself to hide the expressions as much as possible. Emmett is not a romantic, and with his feelings, the best he does is bottle them up and ignore them causing him to be pushy when he is speaking to her. Either he keeps his feelings hidden or she pries them out. Though perhaps even pure circumstance has something to orchestrate...

Grace O'Faolain
"I know I piss her off... And I don't forget it when I really do."

Here we have a cocky young buck who is a bit chippy and lippy at moments, and then we have a woman with real right to brag if she does with the experience and background she has. This will show the disrespect inside of the young Emmett as he is more inclined to back talk and defy a woman than a man, reasonably because his mother is quite more of a pushover than his uncle. But Emmett remembers that Grace is there navigator and he wants to at least force himself to trust the one who is holding the map. What would seem even braver of Emmett is if he were to rebel against her direction on the journey due to one he finds superior. Speaking of superior, Emmett's obsession with manhood seeps sexist remarks bringing even more tension.
Cillian O’Houlihan
"Mr. O'Houlihan, I don't know if he hates me or not. One thing's certain, I don't get in his way. But it's not that I am afraid too, I simply just don't, at least not for now..."

To Emmett, Cillian, or how Emmett most often addresses him as, Mr. O'Houlihan, has been quite forgotten. He just doesn't think of the man quite often, but when he does make contact Emmett is relatively respectable, as he doesn't have anything against Mr. O'Houlihan. It is not the scars or even the bloody knuckles that wards Emmett's testosterone off, because those things usually invite him even further to challenge a man like so. Instead, it is Mr. O'Houlihan's eyes and constant face of disapproval. But facial appearance is little of what makes Emmett simply back off, it is the fact that everyone else seems so much more relevant to Emmett's life- Othen is like a competitive big brother, Rook is his uncle and the man he strives to impress, Floure is the dreamy girl whom he tries to bottle up feelings for, Grace is the woman who he smart-mouths, and Cillian... well that's Mr. O'Houlihan, a man he has not clashed with, nor conversed.
