Looking for something fun | Casual-Advanced

Hello hello hello. I'm carsgovroom. Call me carsgovroom. Or cars. Or vroom. Whichever floats your boat. I'm looking for one or two nice, fun 1x1s.

~I do write primarily at an advanced level and prefer my primary character to be female, though I do enjoy doubling up with a male character and playing multiple supporting characters as well. I like modern plots, sometimes with fantasy elements, as well as a bit of romance when the situation calls for it. Well developed romance, of course. I like friendships, as well, so if romance isn't your thing not a problem. I also enjoy Doctor Who and think that it makes for some excellent 1x1 roleplaying.

~We all have lives and I don't demand or expect a bunch of replies every day. Post a couple of times a week a least and warn me ahead of time if you're going to be absent for an extended period. I will do the same for you. Communication is key. In fact feel free to chat with me in the OOC if you want to^^

~I can do MxF or FxF romances but I don't do smut. Sorry. I also don't do anime stuff.

Things I would be interested in (# indicates craving, * indicates a plot idea):
-FBI Agent x Conman/woman (Like White Collar? The FBI agent has been hunting the con artist for years and when they finally catch them the con makes a deal to be a consultant and will only work with said FBI agent, to their horror.)
-Time travel
-Merperson/selkie/water nymph (Not sure on specifics. I just love water creature mythology)
-Paranormal investigator (Urban fantasy idea slightly inspired by The Dresden Files. I just like the idea of a supernatural underworld in a modern city.)
-Alien x Human
-Witch x Guardian* (This is F/F specifically. A powerful young witch wants to live outside of the coven so she's assigned a guardian of supernatural origin. Sparks fly.)
-Vampire x Werewolf* (Ft. Vampire/Werewolf conflict/feud/war maybe? I have a couple of starting ideas.)
-Prince and the Pauper situation#* (It would be a princess and a female pauper who are identical strangers that have a chance meeting and decide to swap places [or it happens by accident?]. Hijinks and romance could ensue. We would be doubling ideally.)
-Cyborg (Futuristic setting and cyborgs are second class citizens. The idea came from the Lunar Chronicles series of books and I'd like to flesh it out some more.)
-Doctor Who# (I'd like to play as an OC companion with either a canon or OC Doctor)

~I would like detailed, creative posts with good grammar (although I understand that typos, of course, happen to everyone). A couple of decent paragraphs or more would be nice for the majority of posts. I care about the quality of story/writing/characters more than quantity honestly. I might ask for a post sample from you.

~If you have ideas you think I would like feel free to share! Same goes if you have any input to the ideas I've already suggested. I like to plot with my partners and form stories together.

~I really want some fun, engaging stories with fun, engaging characters.

Please PM me. I mean it. I will rarely look back at this thread and PMing is the best way to get my attention~

When the door opened and all Will could see was a burly chest and a beard he couldn't help but swallow a bit nervously as he tried to peer up into the face of the large man. Then he was staring into the man's eyes when he stooped down. Will tried to appear calm, but with the men straggling along behind him and Liam leaning heavily against him and moaning softly he knew that he must have looked desperate. After a moment of silence in which he gazed intently at the man, Will finally spoke. "...Please," he said, managing to at least keep his voice mostly collected. "Sir, I know that this is...that it looks..." He was at a lost and after a brief pause he simply repeated, "Please."

The man finally stood b ack, allowing them entry, and relief washed through Will like a river. "Thank you," was all he could say, and he must have repeated himself at least a hundred times and he led Liam into the warmth of the farmhouse. He barely had time to notice the vastness of the interior, nor the scent of the food that made his stomach ache (soup n the road was fine enough, but not very filling). His primary concern was Liam for the moment, and he gently helped the prince into a chair in front of the fire. Liam himself didn't seem to be able to speak, still too panicked and shocked from his sudden blindness. He simply curled up onto the chair, almost appearing to shrink into a shell of his real self. Will made sure he was secure before whispering that he would be back in a few moments. Liam didn't respond.

Will pushed himself to his feet and moved over to their host. The small dog at his knees made him smile for the briefest of moments, but he could not get Liam, nor the Marshal's words to Raquelle, out of his head. He nodded respectfully and gratefully to the man when he approached him, though. "We were told we could find shelter here. I don't know how many of us can ever replay you for your kindness... My name is Will. The man in the armchair is Prince Liam. Of Itelia."

Sam watched as August spoke to the beautifully intimidating woman in the mirror he had had in his pocket. She didn't need to hear August address her as "my queen" to be able to know that this woman was Narissa herself. The woman who was the cause of all of this. But she could barely pay attention to her when she was listening to August was saying to her. Her gray eyes were fixed upon him, widening with every word he spoke, and she watched him essentially resign and tell the queen to go to hell. Then he threw the mirror, shattering it before the woman could get in a word, and it startled her slightly. But she wasn't able to look away from him as they started off again, and she nodded her head in understanding when he spoke to her.

"So...you basically just...quit your job?" Sam still felt shocked about this unexpected turn of events. The previous day he had been telling her how vital it was that he keep his cover with Narissa, but now she had just watched him purposely blow it. Something must have happened in these last few hours. Something big. Still...watching him basically tell the queen to go fuck herself had been so satisfying, and there were a smile flickering across her face as she looked at him. "I thought...you had this whole covert, lone wolf thing going on. You know, couldn't trust anyone, couldn't let the queen know you were working against her." Sam's head titled slightly as she studied him, and her tone became softer, more serious, when she spoke next. "What happened? What changed your mind?"

Will stared between the Marshal and Raquelle during their exchange, mouth slightly open as he tried to wrap his head around what the Marshal had told him, an what the two of them were saying. Raquelle had done this? He knew that she had been pursuing Liam for years, but this... Liam was blind now. Because of her. Was she really willing to go to such extreme levels for her crush? Will considered the princess for a moment as he held the still shaking Liam up. No one had rushed to the princess when the cat had attacked her and she had screamed and thrashed about, and now her gown was all but ruined and she had blood from her wounds. She should never have come. That was clear.

"Perhaps your attendants should take you back to Eldonia, Princess," he said in a cool, passive tone before securing Liam and gently urging him forward with the other men as they started towards the horse farm. It was eaier with the Marshal helping him, but for a short while he went back. For Samantha. Will paused momentarily to watch him go, his brow furrowed in thought. He had told Raquelle that her mother needed a new agent, and even if he wasn't too busy thinking for the company and for Liam he wouldn't have any idea what he had meant by that. One thing was for sure. The Marshal had a lot to explain to them.

After a short while the farmhouse came into view out of the darkness, and Will led Liam and the rest of the men towards the house. There was dim light in the windows and smoke emitting from the chimney, and Will took a breath as he rocked out his hand to knock on the door. He looked behind him to the rumpled looking men and then beside him to the blinded prince. He only hoped the owner of this farm would be as willing to help them as the dwarves had said he would be.

~~~

Sam stirred a little when she was picked up again. Her eyelids were heavy, but she managed to blink them open to gaze blearily up at August as he carried her. Her lips flickered into a small smile and she rest her head against his shoulder again, making a sleepy murmuring sound as she did so. "Hey. Did you get the fire out?" The smoke from the remnants of the destroyed filled her nose and she made a slight face at the unpleasant smell as her head rose once again to look around.

The camp was all but deserted and empty, except for the burned tents and supplies and Raquelle. She looked like...crap. Her dress was dirty and bloody and her hair was a disaster. It filled her with a slight sense of satisfaction, but she'd never tell anyone that. Besides all she really cared about at the moment was everyone else that had been at the camp. "Where is everyone? Will, Liam, and Dorothea? Are they okay? What happened?" She turned her head to look back up at August, and she seemed to realize for the first time that they were moving away from the burned campsite. "Where are we going?"

~~~

Raquelle would not need to tell her mother anything. Darius had been there, ever watchful in the trees. And he had seen everything. And if he saw it, Narissa saw it. She was wrenched from her bed that night, her heart pounding and her eyes wide and furious as the vision of Marshal Derrick declaring she needed to find herself a new agent flashed in her mind over and over again. She was out of the room and striding down the hall to her quarters in a heartbeat. She didn't bother covering her nightdress, she didn't have the time for such things. All that mattered was the Marshal.

She was slipping behind the secret door and striding through her archway into her hallow in no time at all. Her green eyes lit with a furious fir, she wrenched the drawer pen to pull her mirror out and she did not bother lowering her voice when she spoke. "Marshal!" she spat in a rage as she glared at the smooth surface. "August Derrick! You will speak to me! You will explain!"

She knew that she had asked him to put her down, but even as he did it and she found herself resting against a tree Sam felt reluctant to let go. But she did as she watched him go off to help put out the flames. She blinked her eyes lazily as she looked at him as long as she was able, then she became aware of Coralie right beside her. Sam looked over at the dwarf woman and her smile flickered across her lips. She laughed, though the sound was quiet and tired and with the destruction happening all around them her heart wasn't very into it anyway. But she had to react to Coralie's words in some way. "There's nothing going on with August and me....the Marshal. I meant the Marshal and I...me..."

She was quiet for a moment, but it gave her a headache to think about it. "There's nothing," she repeated in the most serious tone she could muster, and then she leaned her head back against the tree and closed her eyes. Sam was vaguely aware of Coralie patting her head, but mostly all she could think about was how much comfier she was against this tree than she had been in Raquelle's tent. She must have been tired, and Sam quickly felt herself nodding off into the best sleep she had had in days.

Will was rubbing his eyes, feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, when he heard someone clear their throat. He opened his eyes and it took a moment for him to look down at the dwarf in front of him. He barely had time to blink in surprise or wonder where he had come from when the dwarf began to speak. He mentioned he had companions, an Will briefly glanced about, maybe making out two more dwarves in the vicinity but he wasn't able to make an effort to look closer before the one speaking admitted to starting the fire. Will looked back at him, more shocked and confused than angry at the moment, but he wasn't able to get a word in as the dwarf apologized and bowed and offered them shelter an supplies at the farm they had spotted hours earlier. Will wanted to be furious, wanted an explanation for why they had done this. Many supplies were lost, there were undoubtedly men injured, and Will wanted to demand to be given a reason for this. But maybe it was the dwarf's tone or expression that stopped him from yelling. Or maybe he was just too tired. Will just looked at the dwarf and let out a breath and nodded before turning around to give directions. The men began packing up what was still usable and gathering the horses, and Will spotted Liam where he had left him out of harm's way. Raquelle was with him, and he immediately moved forward.

Raquelle's clutching hand and simpering tone was all that Liam became aware of, and he wasn't able to keep a civil tone this time. Not in this state. "Let go of me, Raquelle!" he said furiously, looking about the campsite as though searching for her, and he pulled his hand out of her grasp. She had been blathering about Samantha and the girl trying to kill him. It made him want to laugh, but he didn't seem to be able to. He began speaking furiously about her blathering, dangerously close to throwing insults at her. He felt another hand on his arm and was about to yell at her again when he heard Will's voice. It calmed him a little, but he was shaking his head wildly when his friend tried to cooax him up onto his feet. "Will, no. No, Will, I can't..."

"Yes you can, sir."

"Will, I...I can't see. I'm blind."

Will grimaced, but tried to remained as stoic is possible. "I know, Liam," he responded softly.

Liam's tone was shaking in hysterics and fear and his sightless eyes gazed around the campsite. He looked vulnerable, like a mouse caught in a trap. "I'm blind...I can't see anything... I don't understand... What happened? Why can't I see?"
