Ripples in Reality: A World in Lines

Nice post, Tundra :D! I'm gonna get to work on a reply, do you want my charas to notice yours or would you rather they don't notice each other yet?

Ripples in Reality: A World in Lines

Yep, the waiter is an actual spoon in an apron 8D

Ehehe, anything goes.

Ripples in Reality: A World in Lines

Thanks, I'm glad you like it, Tundra :D! And alrighty, hehe, can't wait to see what sort of trouble Carlos and Lenore get into~

Ripples in Reality: A World in Lines

She woke up fifteen minutes before midnight, on a bus to Kingswood street. Audrey rubbed the sleep out of her eyes then stifled a yawn, midterms were officially over, and she had been out celebrating with some friends. The party had been a thrill, but now she felt exhausted and wanted nothing more than a warm bath and a soft bed to sleep in. The bus came to halt and Audrey shuffled out of her seat, walking past an old man with a newspaper pressed to his face, and a young boy who tugged childishly on his mom's sleeve as he tried to look out the window.

She dropped her change into the box by the door and made her way towards one of the streetlamps, it flickered, casting a warm glow that made the shadows by the sidewalk appear as if they were alive. The girl whipped out her phone and noticed a couple of text messages from her roommate. However, before she could open any of the messages, she was startled by a black cat.

"Hey, there..." the girl narrowed her eyes, watching as the cat licked at its paws. Its red eyes darted around shiftily. She couldn't put her finger on it, but there was something odd about the cat, something that felt almost eerie.

It gave her a long look before it started padding away towards an Alley. Audrey didn't understand why, but she felt compelled to follow the strange cat. Common sense told her not to, but she went against her better judgement and walked after it and into the alley. It was a dead end, but the cat was nowhere in sight. Preparing to leave, she pulled out her phone to text her roommate—something warm brushed up against her leg and the phone fell to the ground with a clatter. It was the cat. Strange, she could have sworn it had disappeared.

It sauntered towards the dead end only to vanish and Audrey felt sick to her stomach. She had only had one glass, but she decided to blame it on the alcohol. Approaching the wall, she pressed her hands against solid brick then turned around and walked back to the street.

A man with a lollipop head tipped his hat at her and Audrey fell back onto the sidewalk, eyes wide and lip quivering.

She wasn't in Kingswood street anymore.

"See ya tomorrow, man." His co-worker flashed him a grin. "Oh, dude, catch!"

Nikolai saw his jacket in his friend's hands. "I almost forgot, thanks, Ray." He caught it then pulled it over his head. The sky was filled with dark clouds and it looked like it was going to rain. "Well, I'm heading off. Thanks for filling in for me, I'm really worried about my Geom test tomorrow."

"The late-night shift is always the most relaxing one." Ray gave his pal two thumbs up, "beat the crap out of math for the two of us."

Niko laughed, "no promises, but I'll try." the young man raised a fist into the air, grinned then exited the coffee shop. As soon as he stepped out, a cold breeze made him shiver. It was always nice and toasty inside. He stretched his hands forward and began walking towards the parking area. The young man lived off campus, but it was in biking distance, and he could travel to or from the campus in fifteen minutes tops.

There was a man standing beside his bike, he had his back to Nikolai, and seemed to be staring up at the clouds.

He paused and considered returning to the coffee shop. It's nothing...he could just be admiring the view, the sky looks real pretty. His positive side thought, and besides, he couldn't waste any more time. He had one last test early in the morning and after that, well, midterms would be over and he'd be a free man. Yeah, the guy was probably just counting stars, right? Because who'd want to rob a guy with a creaky bike. Last he checked, it was the students with cars and motorbikes that had to be extra careful.

"The weather is really nice tonight, isn't it?" Niko approached his bike with a smile and a friendly tone.

The man spun around and Niko found himself frozen in place—the man had a clock for a head.

"Tick tock," he whispered, "tick tock." He reached out a gloved hand and Niko, on jelly legs, stared at it as if it were a gun. "H...H-E-L-P. Unstable. The world is unstable. Error in the code. Error. Error. H-E-L-P." His voice sounded more like static than anything else.

Nikolai forgot about his bike and the quadratic formula. "I-I have to do laundry," he lied. The strange man took a step towards him and he began running like a professional athlete, well until he reached the end of the parking lot and tripped. He coughed until his sides hurt and until the air had left his lungs. Niko leaped to his feet and looked right and left. The strange man was gone, but so were a lot of other things.

A wolf in a trench coat lumbered towards a place called the coffee shack. Its Neon sign looked about ready to come crashing down.

"Oi, are you just gonna stand there, or are you going to come in for a drink?"

Niko slumped forward, dragged himself inside the shack and sat himself down. The waiter that approached him was a spoon in an apron. He was shaking all over and didn't know what the hell to do. "I...I'll have a smoothie, yes...a smoothie, strawberry."

"Sure thing, honey, just sit tight."

Nikolai wrapped his arms around himself and did as he was told.

Heya Tundra, I'm gonna get to work on an IC post ^^ though that might not be up until tomorrow.

So for the beginning, I was thinking they see something strange and all wind up in the other world? There, they bump into each other and then we can go crazy and just have fun with it :D. How does that sound?

Edit: I got a post up, hopefully, it'll suffice ^^

A 1x1 Between Altered Tundra and Curious Cat

---

Curious Cat

1.



Name: Nikolai Barker
Age: 19
Height: 5'9

Niko is a familiar face on campus, probably because he works part time at the school's coffee shop. He's sociable and cheerful, all in all a sweet young man. Maybe it's his smoothie addiction, or maybe he's just a really friendly guy.

He's a science enthusiast and he's got a passion for Physics even though math doesn't seem to ever love him back. Niko's also got a passion for dance, so he likes hanging out at the school's music room. However, despite being an outgoing guy, he's not exactly one to appear at parties, neon lights and pounding music just aren't his thing and he'll probably be at the library studying for his next Geometry exam.

He's a pretty practical and studious person, and he believes in hard work before play.

2.



Name: Audrey Calloway
Age: 19
Height: 5'5

Often seen with her nose buried in a book. Audrey is a bookworm and theater kid, but that doesn't mean she's shy.

The stage is her home and nothing gets her more excited than a Midsummer Night's Dream or a Streetcar named Desire. She's quite the good charmer and deceiver, something that has served her well in her roles. From bubbly child to stern librarian, she just melts into the role and becomes an entirely different person on the stage.

When not performing, Audrey is an artsy girl with a love for fun. A party at the park, well, she'll most likely be there. She's friendly, but she won't take crap from anyone and one thing that annoys her is stupidity. So if you're going to start a stupid conversation, expect to get a sarcastic retort in return.

Altered Tundra

1.



Height: 5’11; Weight: 190
Name: Carlos Santiago
Age: 20
Gender: He definitely has a dude

As a lover of music and everything that it embodies, Carlos thrives on the college music scene. To be the center of it, he took a part-time job of being a Disc Jockey at parties and other social gatherings. People really seem to love his work and he’s been known around campus as DJ Swagstar. He also has his own solo project that he calls “Trident Revolution”, which generally deals with Progressive Rock fused with Electronica influence.

When he’s not in his job or working on his music or in class, he’s usually seen around campus. He is very laid back and often chill. He really does like taking the almost-lazy approach to things. He’s usually seen hanging around those who often are also music nerds. Though, he’ll befriend anyone and he pretty much has a nice face for people to like, so no punching there. His attitude towards people is indeed laid back and he will often crack a joke and use sarcasm here and there.

2.



Height: 5’6; Weight: 120lbs
Name: Lenore Robinson
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Oh what is there to say about Lenore? She’s a charming, sexual gal. She is not afraid to flaunt what the good lord gave her. She has gathered a reputation throughout the school of being slightly slutty and promiscuous . That isn’t to say that she doesn’t have respect for herself. She really does. She just doesn’t get why people would care if she fucks a few guys — and girls — here and there. She is in college, so why not get it out of her system? As for meeting people, she’s sometimes a bit assertive, but she can be modest if she needs to be. Though, she’s really just friendly and all types of good. People will really love her when they get to know her.

For her actual interests of school, Lenore actually has a love for Writing and Art. Perhaps it’s something about expressing herself in the fullest way, but she just loves the feeling of painting a canvas or putting pen to paper. That’s why she has classes that allow her to do that.

People are disappearing, and there are no clues.

No bodies thrown behind dumpsters, no psychotic kidnappers, not even a sliver of evidence—they vanish into thin air. The authorities are stumped because nothing adds up, they think it's some sort of mass kidnapping, but it isn't.

The truth is, people are wandering off into another realm. It sounds unbelievable doesn't it? But It's as simple as that. There are no convoluted schemes or holdups, no threats, no nothing. They just walk into a door and never come back, or sometimes they do, but they're never the same and they sputter all sorts of things, things that don't make sense at all. They talk about wolves in overcoats and streets made of cheese.

The line between our world and a magical realm that exists parallel to our own is blurring. The worlds are bleeding into each other, and the ripples in reality are starting to become apparent. If this is not stopped then the world will end.

Here we Go Again [HIGH-CAS/LOW-ADV ONLY]

Hello there, I'd be interest in a school RP with elements of modern fantasy thrown in :) here and there.

I hope it'll suffice.

Hello, lovely interest check you have here :)

Are you still looking for partners? If so, I'd be interested in a school/dorm life RP with modern fantasy elements thrown in here and there. I don't have any concrete ideas at the moment, but I'd love to brainstorm with you.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our annoyances.

Well, YOU managed to bother a lot of people too, Outlaw.

I'd say more, but we're leaving Fonz cool territory, so over and out. I hope you have a nice day.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our annoyances.

HollywoodMole is right, this thread was made so people could get stuff off their chests. Why do you care so much?

You say people shouldn't waste their time complaining, but you're doing the same thing. Outlaw, you're complaining about other people's complaints. Lol, if you're so above it all, then why can't you leave people be?
