RP Sample

He almost missed the sound of heavy footsteps sloshing through the mud. His own heartbeat pounded so loudly in his ears it seemed to dull all outside noises. He was 'stuck between a rock and a hard place', as his mother would say.

Well, more like stuck between a swamp and the underside of an alien spaceship, but hey, no need to get technical.

Mercury struggled to calm himself, convinced every living creature within a mile could hear his sharp, shaky breaths. The footsteps grew closer, until he was able to see their owner's legs through the darkness. Every fiber of his being was begging him to run, but he couldn't. The best he could do was very slowly inch backwards, away from the searching flashlight beams. From what he could see, the thing hunting him appeared to be a man; mud-caked boots that rose nearly to the knee, and dark military style cargo pants. Mercury continued to scoot backwards, using his elbows for leverage. His hiding spot was tight and even with his body pressed firmly into the mud, his back and shoulders brushed against the metal husk of the ship above him.

He had to be very careful. If he moved to fast, the sound of slurping mud would surely give him away. The man was just passing in front of him now, less then four feet away. Mercury held his breath, freezing in place. The man continued walking, flashlight sweeping back and forth. When he was a little further away, Mercury continued his retreat. He felt his shirt snag on something, but realized it too late. He heard an painfully loud ripping sound and gasped in surprise as a piece of metal raked across his lower back. Less then a second later, he was blinded by the harsh beam of a searchlight.

Sweet! :D When posting characters, should we post them right in the Character tab, or OOC and wait for approval?

Project Freestone

Looks cool! How big of a group are you aiming for?

Hey guys, sorry for falling off the Earth. I'm going through some complicated stuffs and my inspiration to write dried up because of it. I'm working on pulling myself back out of a hole, so if you guys can gimme a little more patience, maybe we can bring the ship back to life. :')

So, I vote we do a jump to kick the rp back into gear. I was thinking maybe a deserted island or something where we can create a new plot since this one doesn't really seem to be going anywhere.

@Ellion

Yeah, something like that would be cool. The inspiration for our current plot has kinda vanished, so it'd probably be easier to just move on to something else. So if you have more ideas, please share. ^.^

“I can try to fix up an old gun and make it like new so you can have it... maybe?"

A wide, stupid grin stretched across the boy's face. “What, you don't trust these guns?” He teased, holding up his scrawny arms in a mock pose. “Yeah, naw, I wouldn't either. But seriously, I'm not worth a crap with a gun anyway. Thanks, though.”

Aubrey followed her to the galley. He kept his thoughts in check, not letting him think about the butterflies in his stomach. He convinced himself it was just nerves. After all, he had only been a pirate a few months. Though he had already participated in quite a few raids, this one seemed bigger then the others. Looking at those sketches the captain had shared made him weary. They were dealing with weapons and technology they had never encountered before, and that made him nervous.

He took a piece of the offered snack and thanked her, munching on it thoughtfully. He considered asking her if she still got nervous before stuff like raids, but he didn't want to seem like any more of a wimp.

Before he knew it, they had eaten the whole stash of cheese and crackers. “I guess we were pretty hungry. Winter's gonna kill us when she finds out.” Regardless, he popped the last little slice of cheese in his mouth. They were gonna get killed anyway, he might as well eat it. His heart did a little flip when he realized they had probably lost track of time. Aubrey checked his watch and almost choked on his cheese.

“Shit! We're supposed to go soon! Now she's gonna kill us twice. C'mon, we gotta go get to the boats.”
