Pink Poogle Toy Forum

Deirdre smiled slightly as the boy ran to his mother, but at the same time, she couldn't help feeling rather deeply disturbed by what had just happened. According to Andrew's whispers as the blonde girl ran up and appeared to- well, bring him back to life- after she'd passed out, her sand storm had died; soon after, the vines that the woman claiming to be the High Geomancer of Ivy had shot at her also seemed to have withered suddenly- but in this case, because of some freak thing that had happened, that Deirdre still wasn't sure she believed.

Apparently, the light and heat had abruptly been sucked out of the world- or at least the beach- leaving the entire place darker and colder than- well, anything one could imagine. And when it was over, the child had just been lying there, deader than a frog that had swallowed lit dynamite.

And follow that, that annoying brat of a wannabe gothic jerk had run away. Right after, she'd woken up.

Coward, Deirdre thought with more than a touch of disgust.

Turning her thoughts away from what had happened, she looked suspiciously at the group of strangers- not fifteen feet from where she and Andrew sat- well, lay fallen, really- and asked, "Who are you all? No, wait, let me rephrase that. What in all magics are you?"




((Heh, I suppose Deirdre thinks that they're all secretly giant pink robo-dinosaurs or something. Though she does have the right to be suspicious, really, seeing how someone just shot vines- which could have killed her- at her and then someone else went and sucked all the light out of the area and then a little kid died and then after that someone went and resurrected said kid. If I were her, I'd be very much, "OMG AH WHAT'S GOING ON WHO ARE YOU GET AWAY, AWAY I SAY!" and then I'd proceed to run around like someone had just nearly cut my head off. After all, if they'd actually cut it off, I wouldn't be able to run around, you see.))

((

Hahahaha That made me fall off my chair from laughing so hard. ))

Talim grinned proudly as Joy brought the child back to life, however her victory was cut short when Joy collapsed from exhaustion. Talim's face fell and she moved forward on her knees to place her hands on Joy's cheeks and replace some of Joy's lost energy with her own. "I'm sorry we needed to do that. Our powers aren't nearly developed enough to do things like that."

Talim then stood up and brushed sand off her gown before walking over to Deirdre. "Greetings, my name is Lunetta Talim and I am the High Geomancer of the Moon. On behalf of the Goddess Alea I formally welcome you to our group High Geomancer of Sand." She gently reached out her hand and shook Deirdre's.

"We are all High Geomancers, and we are very different from normal Geomancers. Our powers have all only emerged recently and the proof of this is the Ankh which has appeared on our wrists. We also differ from normal Geomancers in that our powers aren't taken from our surroundings. Each of us controls one of the natural forces and each of us needs an object to help us, either a staff like my own, a wand like your own, or a bell. For example, Major Tira is the High Geomancer of Ivy, she can control and summon vines to aid her and she is high attunded to plants. She also uses a bell to help her channel her powers, though this is only really for difficult tasks. A demonstration if you will Major?"

Tira nodded and summoned her bell, she began to swing it in a figure eight pattern and a small tree began slowly growing from deep within the sand.

Talim turned back to Deirdre and smiled gently, "I know this is all a little overwhelming, but you must except it and learn to harness your powers. The fate of the world rests in our hands."

((Don't worry, we haven't forgotten Jason CD, we just need to do some other things first.))

((I was also laughing quite hard at that creative similie... or is it a metaphor... It's a Metaphor isn't it?))
Joy started to wake. She saw a tree. 'A tree? On the beach?' She thought. 'I must still be dreaming.' She pinched herself.
"OUCH!" She cried out. 'Nope I'm not dreaming.' She thought.

She decided to ask about it.
"Is it just me... Or was that tree not there before?" she asked. Getting up and brushing sand from herself.
<hr>
Anka, with his newly dicovered power, thought himself to be invinsible. Nobody in the world could stop him now not even the rest of the geomancers...
((Note: He only thinks this. It's not true, Just in case everyone thinks I'm trying to say he's invinsible.))

((Er, like all of the posts since the twenty-third are on the domain's forum. Well, in case this happens again, I'm saving all the posts, because I this RP. =P

Sooo. For now, should we move the posts over here, leave them there but continue from that point, or what?))

((I think we should carry on from where we were. Unless you have the posts saved. If you do then could you post them all in one big long post? Then we can carry on from there!))

(Ok people, remember that I'm stuck with Asha in the hotel, so I'm not with the group right now.)

((And Maya's still there, but... she's probably fainted, or still lying there. And no one's noticed her at all, even when she screamed. *Purposeful cough* Neva? Who knows. ))

((Ugh, i'm sick of PPT going offline, and this new forum is icky... We'll have to try to continue on, if someone's saved the previous posts please post them... I'll update soon, I've just been real busy with schoolwork...))

*Cracks knuckles* Er, first off, I'm editing my last post, because I really dislike how I wrote it- to put it quite frankly, Deirdre just ignoring someone sobbing behind her is very, very out-of-character: she may be harsh, rude and stubborn, but she can't stand someone in pain, whether it's grieving pain or, er, "Ouch, I just cut off my toe with a banana peel!" pain. Though I suppose the latter would also include a good deal of hysterical laughter directed towards the situation.

Besides, it wasn't very interesting and didn't advance the plot in any way.

But anyway. On to ze wonders of copy+paste. Along with a teensy bit of html/BBCode to pretty it up- otherwise, it's hard to figure out who wrote what. Well, at least for me and my ADD/horrid eyesight, anyway.

Deirdre raised an eyebrow at the sudden existence of the tree, but said nothing, choosing to simply ponder Talim's words.

Could these people really be Geomancers? They did seem to have the Ankh, but if they were what they said, then they were certainly being rather stupid about it. Oh yes, let's go and run around, flashing our Ankhs to everyone and casting as much magic as we can, and ooh, the Counsil's after us? Well, teehee, let's go and do some more stuff that'll make it incredibly obvious that we're Geomancers! Yaaay!

She snorted. At the very least, if they were Geomancers, she could help them. But at the same time, she'd have to be cautious- for all she knew, they could really be just part of the Counsil, and their Ankhs just acquired at a Tatoo Parlour.

Looking up at them, Deirdre smiled hesitantly and took Talim's hand.

"To be quite honest, I'm not sure if I really trust you. But at the very least, this should be interesting- I've always wanted to learn more about Geomancers, anyway. But-" her smile dropped and she scowled at "Major" Tira, "I'm not going to work with her."

<center>---------</center>

<center>.:Chronically Depressed:.</center>

Joy raised her eyebrow at this arrogant girl that stood before them. She watched her as she hesitantly shook Talim's hand. And Heard her say that she wouldn't work with Tira.
"What's she done to you? It can't have been very bad. Can it?"

<hr>

Anka smiled to himself. He had to get back to the others, otherwise they'd be wondering where he was.

He'd stir up trouble later...

<center>----------</center>

<center>...Alex</center>

Deirdre looked at the girl who'd spoken- the Light Geomancer, she assumed, what with her little show of raising the dead- and stared in disbelief.

"What did she do to me? Oh, I don't know, let me try to remember everything. Well, first of all, she leashed me with a freaking vine, as if I were some sort of animal to be tamed, then, when I tried to escape, she knocked me out with more vines, which, by the looks- and feel, for that matter- of it, were meant to kill me. So no, of course, she hasn't done anything horrible to me, aside from being a complete psycho," Deirdre finished, voice a cool hiss.

Turning to Tira, she stood haughtily and, glancing disdainfully at the tree, said, "And everyone knows that it's nearly impossible to grow things in sand- it's nothing like dirt. Creating that tree was an utter waste of magic, not to mention life. Ugh."

<center>---------</center>

<center>.:Chronically Depressed:.</center>

Joy's eyes widened as she heard what Tira had done.
"You didn't Tira! Did you?" She stared in disbelief.

<hr>

Anka had arrived back on the beach and he ran back up to them.
"Um... I guess everything worked out OK then?" He asked cautiously.

<center>----------</center>

<center>...Alex</center>

Deirdre and Andrew both stared at the newcomer in disbelief.

The former opened her mouth to retort angrily, but her friend spoke first.

"Okay? Excuse me? You killed a child. You're a murderer! You ran away, clearly not wanting to face what you had done, so now, not only have you shown yourself to be a criminal, but a coward, as well! And now that everything's over, you run back with your tail between your legs, expecting everyone to welcome you back with open arms? I think not," he said coolly, ending as he stood up, helping Deirdre to her feet, who was only thinking nervously as she dropped the sand cats- now sand frogs, for some reason- onto her shoulder, Andrew, you had better hope he'll just laugh in your face, and not kill you. The child was killed by magic- if I'm right- he seems to know these Geomancers- and if this boy was at the end of the death magic, he's the High Geomancer of Night. You absolute idiot, you don't just anger someone like that...

<center>---------</center>

<center>ria</center>

Tira scowled at Deirdre, so what if the kid hated her? The feeling was mutual. She frowned when Deirdre told Joy what she had 'done to her' then folded her arms in defiance, "I'm afraid you've only heard her part of the story Joy. You see I came here with Anka and we both tried to calmly tell Deirdre that she was Geomancer of Sand. Not surprisingly she didn't believe us, however she was also very rude to us and flat out denied that she had an Ankh on her wrist, even though it was in plain sight."

She paused for a moment, glaring at Deidre before resuming her retelling of events, "I then moved forward to grab her wrist when my newfound powers decided to kick in and I ended up launching a vine at her arm. It was after this that she got rather angry and then proceeded to start a sandstorm. After being pounded at with sand for a few minutes I got very frustrated and somehow created a shield of vines around myself. I then launched vines out blindly in all directions, hoping to stop the sandstorm."

Narrowing her eyes at Deirdre she looked back at Joy, "And that's what really happened."

<center>---------</center>

<center>.:Chronically Depressed:.</center>

Anka, startled, took a step back from Andrew.
Joy stood in front of Anka. She started to fume.
"If this is true then Anka, who only found out he is a Geomancer today I might add, might also have used his powers in self defence, not knowing what he could do, and lost control of them. Most of us have only found out today. He had no way of knowing what his powers would do. After all he's called the Geomancer of the Night, not the Geomancer of Death! So don't you attack him for something he didn't mean, and is probably regretting as you all have your Petty arguments!" She shouted at the three of them.

Anka was surprised, he and Joy hadn't liked each other from the moment they met, but here she was, Defending him! He remained quiet.

<center>---------</center>

<center>...Alex</center>

"Oh, for... What are you, his bodyguard? Because after your little feat of resurrection, it would seem that you're a Geomancer of Light. As a result, you imbecile, you'd be his-" Deirdre gestured angrily at 'Anka' as she raised her voice, "opposite. Everyone knows Light and Dark always end up hating each other. It's the story of time, idiot. Light and Dark are enemies. Always. Light against dark, day versus night.'

"And-" she continued breathlessly, glasses askew, hair starting to come out of it's braid, "everyone who's ever researched Geomancers know that Geomancers of Night are bringers of death. It's not freaking self-defense if someone dies. The second he realized he was the one behind the light and everything being sucked out of here or whatever, he should have stopped. And if he couldn't, he still shouldn't have run away once it was over. A child died, and you're yelling at me for not knowing that our new Geomancer of Night had only discovered his powers today?'

"Death isn't something you should deal with lightly. Instead of throwing a temper tantrum on someone else's behalf, you should be finding out how he lost control of his powers, and what he should be doing to stop it from happening again. Next time, he'll only be stronger. Next time, more people could die. And what will you do then?" she asked, glaring at the group in front of her, thoroughly irritated.

"And as for you, Major," she spat, glaring at Tira, "I have one question- if you were lauching 'vines out blindly in all directions', how could you not think that you could have strangled someone? Oh, never mind, I just answered my own question," she said, wearing a vicious smile, "you weren't thinking, obviously."

"God, what idiots you lot are. You're exactly the type of Geomancers my father warned me abou-" Deirdre stopped short, mentally cursing herself for saying too much, but managed to finish with a short, "Never mind. I give up on you all," as she spun on her heel, marching back to the street as she dragged Andrew by his wrist, intent on reaching her mother's bookstore to see if it had sustained any damage during the earthquake.

<center>---------</center>

<center>ria</center>

Tira's eyes narrowed to mere slits, she ground her teeth together to stop herself from saying any more and her hands were clenched so hard they were trembling.

Talim on the other hand was trembling from being so upset, her eyes were clenched shut as she tried not to cry. Why oh why was nothing going according to plan? When Deirdre announced that she was leaving Talim finally decided that she couldn't take it anymore.

Sinking down onto her knees, Talim let out a heartwrenching sob. Tears began streaming down her face and her whole body was shaking.

Tira snapped out of her angry daze and turned in shock to look at Talim. She was rooted to the spot for a moment as she watched their poor leader let out all her sorrow and grief. "Oh Goddess..." she whispered, voice cracking as she felt a tear slide down her cheek, "Why are we all so stupid? Poor Talim has being trying so hard to unite us... and there are still only half of us here... and what do we go and do? We fight and argue amongst ourselves. By now we could have found all of the High Geomancers and begun our training..."

Also sinking down onto her knees, Tira bowed her head down in shame, "I'm sorry Talim."

<center>---------</center>

<center>.:Chronically Depressed:.</center>

Joy glared at Deirdre.
"He ran off to get ME! YOU STUPID GIRL! And I may not like him but that doesn't mean I'll stand by and watch as you gang up on him!" Joy's hot-headed nature was coming into play, She hated it when people ganged up on others. It reminded her of all the times her little brother had been bullied in school.

They heard a sob. It had came from Talim. They listened to her talk to the goddess. Joy started to feel guilt, she had forgotten of their quest to find all of the Geomancers in all of the action that had took place.

Joy ran over to her and knelt beside her to try to comfort her.

<center>---------</center>

<center>...Alex</center>

Not looking back as she stomped onto the street, Deirdre yelled back, "Gang up? Don't be stupid, there are two of us, while we're being fought by three of you people!"

As she marched towards the opposite sidewalk, a group of shrieking tourists- upset because of the earthquake, sandstorm, blizzard and Mother knew what else- separated Andrew from his irate friend and drowned out the sound of Talim speaking. Muttering darkly about stupid foreigners, Deirdre waited for the group to move on.

Eventually, they did, and to her great chagrin, she could now clearly see that one of the Geomancers- the Moon one- was on her knees in the sand, sobbing, clearly quite horrified at how the others had been squabbling like infants.

Unfortunately, however, Deirdre's attention was brutally ripped away from Talim when she noticed that Andrew had vanished, seemingly into thin air.



((Ow. My fingers hurt. But I know I must write this endnote, for when I die, you must find this and make sure my evil son will not inherit my planet- er, wait, wrong universe. Anyway. When I write 'Mother' or 'Mother of magic' or whatever, I'm just using it as an exclamation. Kind of like 'OMG/OH MY GOD', as in, 'OMG THE BOOGIE MONSTER IS BEHIND YOU AND HE'S EATING YOUR COLLECTION OF BRITNEY SPEARS CDS!!!'.

Perhaps Deirdre and Andrew just made it up when they were younger, or some such.

(I like to make up new exclamations or phrases when I'm writing, so that's why I made it up. )))

(...Wow.
Still waiting for Shadowfare. What's taking so long?)

((Hmm. Looking back, the last time she posted here was on April fourteenth- she may have simply forgotten about the RP. But according to her posts, the last time she even posted on PPT was May fifth. So... I've no idea what's going on with her.))

((Hmm, I'll try PMing her, but if she doesn't come back on we'll have to take care of Asha for her...))

Talim shook gently, tears rolling down her cheeks as she bit her lip to try and stop herself from crying. She felt Joy's hand on her shoulder and through her clouded vision she could see Tira's muddy boots. Trying to calm herself down Talim slowly raised her head and looked around the beach, she looked at each of the Geomancers that were there and they after taking a deep shaking breath began to speak. "Please... everyone... we are supposed to be united, not divided. There are obvious going to be some... bumps... along our journey, but the most important thing is that we're all together. We still have so many Geomancers to find, and we need to discover the cause of the blizzard and the earthquake. Can you all please try to get along? If not for the good of the world then at least do it for me...."

Tira felt a tear trickle down her cheek, turning back to see Deirdre she walked over slowly to her and held out her hand, "I'm sorry."

"I am truly sorry Miss Talim. I just got caught up in the argument. It won't happen again." Joy assured her.

She, still feeling bitter, followed Talim.
"Um... Are you saying that other Geomancers created the earthquake and blizzerd? Which ones would have the power to do that?" She asked, feeling amazed at this information.

Anka just watched. He felt above these lowly lifeforms, he could choose one to rob of their life at any second and they couldn't do anything about it.
<hr>
Jason sat alone, cold and unable to move his body.
"HELP!" He cried out, but there was no-one to hear it.

((Poor Jason! He's been stuck up on a mountain for ages and can't get off, while everyone else is <s>tearing each other's throats out</s> making friends.))

Worried, Deirdre replied, saying, "Okay, whatever, apology accepted, but did you see my friend leave? You know, the boy I was with? Because he was right behind me, and now he's gone..."

Trying desperately to think straight, she couldn't help but feel that something was off- Andrew wouldn't just leave like that, and he certainly wouldn't leave her here, alone.



((Ha, that has to be the shortest thing I've posted on this since I joined. But anyway. Everyone- feel free to say you saw Andrew disappear or whatever. He's half NPC, I suppose, even if I <s>own his soul</s> created him.))

((Yep Jason is <s>Doomed to die</s> in a bad situation because <s>no-one cares about him</s> everybody's been distracted... I've stolen ...Alex's thing ))
Joy felt strangly drawn towards the mountians, but she Ignored it. She looked over to Anka. She had a bad feeling about him.

Anka felt as though somebody was watching him. He looked up to find Joy staring at him. He half-smiled at her.

He began to walk towards her.
"Listen Thanks for Before." He said to her. "I never would've expected for you to stick up for me."
"Don't mention it." she said
"No really..."
"I said don't mention it! Literally." She interrupted. She walked away from him

Anka Scowled at her. 'How dare she!' he thought. 'I could kill her at any time. Doesn't she realize that? I'll get her back later...'
((Anka's <s>going kill you all</s> really messed up...))
