The Misadventures of Charlie Bombay

inkstep • 26 May 2012 at 6:25 PM

@swimforlife hehehehe

Shaking her head, she took a step back. "no its..its fine...I get it..." she muttered, frowning "I'm sorry..I..."
Kassy grinned at her "You're a burden, as are all Reves, your parents abandoned you for a reason! now get" she snickered a bit.
Backing up another step, Pixle's eyes brimmed with tears, flinging the disc to the ground, she turned on her heel and bolted down the hall, flying down the steps and into her room, a loud slam echoed through the house as she shut her door, quickly locking it.
"I'm such an idiot" she hissed to herself "Kass is what, 15? 16? I could have seen that coming..." she flicked her wrist, a small jade colored Skype appeared in a flash of sparks, curling around her hand and rubbing it's tail against her neck.
"Aw, why'd you do that Charlie?" Kassy giggled, rocking back on her heels and then forward on her toes

@inkstep Oh gawd! Charlie need a love consultant!

Kassy reeled back on her feet, her brow knitted. Her face read disappointment as she spoke, 'Aww, why'd you do that Charlie?' She giggled ever so slightly as a door slammed upstairs. 'Kassy! You can't just throw yourself all over me! Pixle thinks I have feeling for you, which I don't' he hissed, 'Look, I know you're family, but Pixle and I are too. If you can't deal with the PIXLE's and MY relation, then I'm out.' Placing a hand on her shoulder, he shoved her out the door. 'Only come back when you appolgized. To BOTH of us.' Charlie's damped spirit was crushed even more. If he asked he once more, Pixle would probably agree that he was a monster. Turning to the plush bed, a tear dripped from his eye and splattered over the wooden floor. Collapsing onto the shoft white comforter, he began to sob. Loud and choke cries were muffled by the wool blankets. Pixle's heart could not withstand such surprises, Charlie allowed this though to billow through his mind. Panic surged through his veins. He urged to see the albino girl, but knew it would hurt her more.

inkstep • 27 May 2012 at 1:13 AM

@swimforlife lol, I agree

Snickering, Kassy backed up as she was shoved out of the room, everything seemed to be falling into place, but she had one more thing to do to get her cousin out of the way. Rushing through the hall, Kassy leapt down the stairs to the landing, unlocking the door and letting herself in "Heyeyeyyyy orphan" she teased, closing the door behind her and grinning cruely at the girl.
Pixle un-tucked her head from her arm and glared at Kassy, but it faded quickly as she tucked her head back under her arm and rolled over "Go away" her voice was choked and weak as she spoke.
"Aw, but I just wanted to say you aren't welcome here, you aren't welcome on your "Home" either, you shouldn't even have been let on earth!" she laughed a bit as she spoke, tucking part of her hair behind her ear and hopping over to the bed, falling back and landing on top of pixle, crushing the small girl "Your parents betrayed us all, they /helped/ the enemy, they're the whole reason all this useless technology is around! and because yooouuuu are tha last lit'l stub of the Reve family tree, You, my friend, are going to pay." she snickered a bit, pulling the rubber band from her wrist and wrapping it around Pixle's hand, blocking the electric current, giggling the whole time.

@inkstep You're on! I have nothing to do but RP today 😊

Flopping about on the fluffy matress, Charlie blinked away the tears. Memories of Pixle flooded his mind. Losing Pixle to Kassy was worse than her death. The scuffle of feet and voices in the next room signaled that Pixle and Kassy we in a tussle. Charlie figured it would be better to allow the girl's woulds heal on thier own. Tucking a pillow to his chest, Charlie sighed. Guy were tough. Guys were strong. Guys did not cry. He repeated the simple phrases over in his mind until his tears subsided. A bubble of rage boiled in his gut. If he was not a monster before, he was morphing into one now. The skin on his shoulders rippled as his nostrils flared. Leaping off the bed, he hurled open the door and sprtinted downstairs. He tripped over his own feet and bounced over the remaining steps. Rubbing his back, Charlie's pace quickened as he ran out side. Once he was clear of the house, he screamed. The shock wave of the noise sent birds and small creatures skittering for cover. A pulse from his heart triggered a large tsunami-like wave to crash through the trees. Sevral pathches of brush and scrub were uprooted.

inkstep • 27 May 2012 at 11:28 AM

Giggling, Kassy grinned "Oops" she joked, knowing what had happened to Charlie "hey let's work on that memory of yours!" she pipped cheerfully, picking Pixle up by the scarf around her neck, and slamming her into the wall a few times, a soft trickle of blood ran down the back of her head as she passed out "There!" kassy yipped, clapping her hands "Yay!" she giggled again, skipping out of pixle's room, down the steps, and out the door. "Hi Char Char!" she joked cruelly, skipping backwards to grin harshly at him as she dipped into the shadows
@swimforlife hey I'm going to an air show soon =P I'll be gone for a few hours, probably be back no later than 5 ECT but I'm noping to be home earlier

Deleted • 27 May 2012 at 11:41 AM

@inkstep Aww, have fun! I went to an airshow years ago, but it was nothing short of EPIC!

Violent torrents of water ripped through the jungle. A surge of power and destruction coursed through his veins. He whirled on his heels at the sound of his name. Nothing more than a rustle of leaves greeted him. 'Pixle?' he called out to the shadows. His eyes narrowed, blinking through the darkness. Endless black filled his view, whatever had passed by was gone...or hiding. Returing to his passion of slaughter, he reeled about, poised on his toes. Darting through the trees, Charlie distanced himself from the house. Kassy. The girl's nefarious grin stuck in his mind. There was something about her that he could not put a finger on. Maybe it was the fact she looked so...familiar. Her resemlence to Pixle was nearly nonexistant. Feet pounding in the soft earth, Charlie inhaled sharply. Pausing for a moment, the bushes rustled once more.

inkstep • 27 May 2012 at 11:47 AM

@swimforlife haha, they're always fun, we live really close so we've seen them practice 😃

Kassy snickered a bit, stepping around to the back of the house and locking her hands on her hips "I should reeeeaaalllyy burn this eyesore down...with reve in it!" she glanced to her side, nodding to the black shadowy thing swirling next to her "But you couldn't kill her in your human form OR keep her dead! so I guess I gotta do it?" Kassy snickered again, walking off to get wood and kindling for a fire.
Pixle's head was throbbing, everything seemed so fuzzy, and the last thing she could remember was her father yelling at her that he wasn't going to pay for another patch for her heart. Looking around the dark room, she cringed a bit, not knowing where she was, it certainly wasn't the hospital she had visited so manny times, but it didn't seem like her house either. "Dad?" she called weakly into the darkness "Anyone?" she mutered, coughing a bit and placing a hand on the back of her head. Blood ran down the cool metal, dipping off at her elbow and creating a new puddle on the floor.

@inkstep Awesome!

Heart palpitations rising, Charlie jerked his head toward the rustling bush. Deep and throaty, a rumble errupted from the darkness. A pair of red eyes blinked bewteen the waxy leaves. 'KRUFF!' A moment passed before Charlie realized who the eyes belonged to. Sir Barks Oddly! Actually, his spirit. The black beast was now a shadowy mist. Two ember eyes still burned brightly in contrast to its skin. Yipping once more, it wagged it barbed tail. 'Go away!' Charlie commanded in a forceful tone. Cocking it head, it seemed to smile. 'Leave me alone!' Charlie spat, an icy tinge radiating through his voice. He conjured an orb of water and blasted the dog's face. The mist shimmered and reshaped. Sir Barks Oddly kruffed once more before diappering in the direction of the house. The stench of smoke filled Charlie's nostrils, but he ignored it. The pits of the jungle produced bizzare smells on a regular basis.

inkstep • 27 May 2012 at 12:10 PM

@swimforlife dogfight is what I'm looking forward to

Kassy snickered a bit as the house began to go up in flames, dancing around the clearing a bit, she congradulated herself "Finally! This is what you get for betraying your own kind, reve!" she yelled into the air "Say goodbye, cause she aint commin out!" she yelled again, laughing as the back side of the house was engulfed in the flickering orange flames that licked at the trees, heating the already warm air.
Coughing and trying not to breath in the smoke, Pixle curled into a tight ball, unsure of what to do, she couldn't remember anything, to her, she had stepped out the door, must have blacked out, and was now in an odd and burning building

Deleted • 27 May 2012 at 12:27 PM

@inkstep Oh, yesh =3

A misty appeartion appeared in the Reve house. A loud 'KRUFF!' echoed through the smoldering pillars.

inkstep • 27 May 2012 at 7:48 PM

@swimforlife amg epic >.< im exhaysted now but it was worth it

Coughing again, Pixle whimpered a bit, the barking of the creature beginning to rock her ssense of reality, she couldn't find it in her to move, it was just too easy to sit there and close her eyes. Her heart pounded in her chest, harder and harder, and all Kassy did was sit there, watching the house burn, laughing the entire time.

Deleted • 28 May 2012 at 4:49 PM

@inkstep Sounds fun! I'm sunburnt and heat exausted, so my posts may be a little off...

Gravely and deep, a voice spoke within Charlie's head. 'Its your time Charlie; its up to you now.' His gut clenched as if he had been punched, it was his father's voice. One that he had no heard in months. 'Dad?!?' he called out, voice torn between anger and sorrow. The only reply was the echo of words that greet his ears. A new sensation washed over, he began in the opposite direction. Soon the smoldering wreckage of the house was clean-cropped in his feild of vision. Kassy threw her head back and laughed maliciously. 'Kassy!' he screeched, his voice slightly exausted from the run. 'What did you say to her? What did YOU do?!?' His red-rimmed eyes darkened. Grasping the fabric of her collar, Charlie raised the girl a few inches of the ground. Pressing his face close to hers, he spat,'You messed with me once, and you tried again!?! You worthless peice of s---! Are you even related to Pixle? Maybe your just one of them. I was a fool trusting you. Pixle did not even recognize you...You-You tratior!' Posion seethed from his voice.

inkstep • 28 May 2012 at 5:55 PM

"Are you kidding!? Pixle is the last of the reve side of my family you pathetic idiot, do you even know what they did!?" she snickered a bit as part of the house collapsed "if she would have stayed dead, none of this would be happening!" she said around a laugh.
Pixle coughed a bit more, trying to shout for help again, her lungs were clogged with smoke and there was no oxygen going to her brain. "Help!" she managed to cry out
@swimforlife its k!

Deleted • 28 May 2012 at 6:02 PM

@inktep

'She's still in there, isn't she?' Charlie snipped, his tone dropping. 'I don't care what her family did. Its Pixle I care about. Did you ever learn forgiveness?' He thrust the girl to the dry Earth and burried his nose in his elbow. Beams of the house tumbled to the ground with such force that left Charlie's bones rattling. Before ducking inside the collaping doorframe, a ripple of water protected his skin. Some second nature kicked in, Charlie had no control of his powers. Begining to second guess the power of his "wet-suit", he had no choice but to procede. A muffled cough and wheeze echoed through the crackling cinders. 'Pixle!' he called out. A weak cry for help cut through the snapping timbers. Assuming the dark shadow in the corner was Pixle, Charlie sprined to the far quadrant of the house.

inkstep • 28 May 2012 at 6:12 PM

@swimforlife it didn't ping haha

Laughing a bit more, Kassy watched as he ran into the burning home, the black whispy thing appearing next to her again "Well done" it hissed in her ear before vanishing.
Whimpering, Pixle was curled up tightly, holding her legs to her chest and pressing her forehead into her knees. The flames licked at her sides and singed the metal of her arm. "Somebody please hep!" she called again, around a painful cough

Deleted • 28 May 2012 at 6:18 PM

@inkstep Ooops! I've got to go. My brain is dying...

'Someone please help!' cried a voice, choked with smoke. The black shape had now taken on a familar form. 'Pixle? Can you hear me?' Charlie shouted over the crackle of the flames. As he approched, he bent down and scooped her up. Pixle's almost weightless body seemed to melt into Charlie's frame. 'I've got you, Pixle. Eveything's going to be just fine.' A resounding crack of wood beams echoed overhead. Suddenly, cpain clamped Charlie's eyes shut and everything faded into the blackness.

inkstep • 28 May 2012 at 6:22 PM

@swimforlife aw, it's fine ^^

Whimpering a bit, she burried her head into his chest, figuring he was just a valunteer that had been on-call when the building had started to burn, she yelped as part of the cieling caved in, sending them both to the ground

Deleted • 29 May 2012 at 4:38 PM

@inkstep Hey^^

Eyes fluttering, Charlie blinked in his torched surrondings. Now, he was spraled across the cinder crusted floor, cradling Pixle. Five minutes. Ten minutes. Any amount of elapsed time could have progressed, Charlie had been uncontious. The slow, rhytmic beat of Pixle heart thumped against his heaving chest. Oddly, he felt no burns or pain. Raising his arms to the flickering light, he could seem a thin jacket of water lacing his skin. The glare of the flames danced across the clear surface. Etwined within the procteive layer, Pixle was also unharmed. However, her her contiousness was questionable. Without refraining from running, Charlie sprinted toward the gaping hole in the far corner. Wheezing on a plume of black smoke, he paused mere inches from the wall. 'Can you hear me Pixle? Its Charlie. Kassy...she did this to you. I think we were set up!' he whipered, stepping into the backyard. The dewy grass blanketed his toes as he walked deeper into the jungle. Locating a rock, Charlie gingerly set Pixle with her back supported by the stone.

inkstep • 29 May 2012 at 5:06 PM

@swimforlife hey I gtg for about 45 min, I have violin practice, I'll be back in a bit!!!

letting out a slight 'mmnph...' Pile's pale red eyes slowly slid open, she looked up at Charlie with an unfamiliar look, a mix of unknowing and exhaustion. Blinking a few times, her eyes slid back shut as she frowned for a few seconds, her breathing was a bit raspy and she stayed completely silent.

Deleted • 29 May 2012 at 5:28 PM

Intently watching as Pixle's eyes breifly slipped open, Charlie kneeled in front of her. 'Earth to Pixle! Come in Pixle,' he said, fanning her with his hands. 'Its me, you're alright now. I don't exactly what occured, but we're both safe now. Kassy had something to do with this.' Taking an exasperated breath, Charlie hugged the girl tight. 'Whatever you witnessed was one of Kassy's ploys to eliminate you. I would never do anything like that to you. If you though I was capable of that, then woman, your deranged!' he added, lacking seriousness. Placing a hand on her shoulder, Charlie tipped her chin upwards to examine the burn on her neck. 'Did you lay on your prostetic? This looks electrical,' he replied, gesturing to the pink tendril crawling down her flesh. 'Did you even know Kassy? Before this, I mean.

@inkstep Have fun! Play some groovy tunes, or else Slenderman will get 'cha! See you later

inkstep • 29 May 2012 at 6:27 PM

@@swimforlife hehehe

Wincing a bit, she pulled back, a slight whimper excaping her throat "no I...who are you..." she muttered ,shaking a bit "and how do you know about my arm!?" she snipped, her good hand clamping down on her shoulder. Getting to her feet and stumbling backwards, Pixle slammed into a tree and re-opened the wound on the back of her head "Nyeah!" she yipped, her hand dropping from her shoulder and going to the wound.

Deleted • 30 May 2012 at 3:07 PM

@inkstep Must've just missed you! Slenderman hasn't gotten to you, has he?

Pixle bashed her noggin on the surface of the stone. Her pursed for a moment before letting out a 'Nyeah!'. Dropping to his knees, Charlie supported her head and shoulders. 'Pixle? Are you okay? Its me Lime Head. Charlie, you know?' Worry streaked his eyes, as it seemed she had developed acute amnesia. 'You're gonna be alright, I'm right here' he cooed, hoping his voice would relax her. Her blank stare sent a pang of worry spiraling to his gut. 'Do you remeber anything? Phase 4? Kassy? The fire?' he asked, dropping his voice to a hushed whisper. The color drained from the already pale girl's face.

inkstep • 30 May 2012 at 4:10 PM

@swimforlife no, haha sorry, I was loading up for a yard sale

She whimpered a bit "What the hell are you talking about!?" she coughed out, her vision focusing a bit "Wait you're that bombay kid from school..." she looked over at the house and back up at him, glaring a bit "What the hell is wrong with you!?" she coughed a bit more, part of her hair falling into her face, quikly her eyes widened up as she covered them, pulling her knees to her chest and tucking her head behind them "F*ck" she hissed, whimpering a bit more and starting to shake, her own father never even knew she was albino, she had always dyed her hair herself and kept the green contacts in, even while she was sleeping.

Deleted • 31 May 2012 at 3:52 PM

@inkstep I know! We always just miss each other

Polished aquamarine eyes filled with worry, Charlie forced a weak smile. 'Yes, I'm Charlie Bombay and you're Pixle Elikis Reve. Do you have any idea where you are?' he asked, pondering her memory loss. Charlie wondered where the breaker began for her memory laspe. 'Can you tell me today's date, Pixle?' he questioned, calmly. His purpose was to determine when was her last recollection. Sinking to his knees, he looked up at the sky. The harsh rays of the two suns beat down. The beams spun dizzly, refracting light in every direction. Damp soil leeched into the cloth of his pants. The uncomforable senation of wetness crawled up his legs. Chirping loudly, a bird released an abrupt scree. Charlie's mind raced, recalling the mechanical bird that Pixle had patched earlier. Had she forgotten about that as well?

inkstep • 1 June 2012 at 2:23 AM

@swimforlife hey idk how much I'll be on, everyone is DYING! and I'm losing control of the muscles in my foot and arm! GRRR

"I...its..How do you know my full name!?" she let out a slight whimper that sounded both human and animalistic "Its feburary 20th...i...isnt it?" her lip was beginning to quiver, she could sense the worry and urgancy in his voice, it was simple, and it struck fear to her core.

Deleted • 3 June 2012 at 2:09 PM

@inkstep Oh my gosh! Are you alright?

'Pixle,' Charlie crooned, voice laced with confindence, 'You've hit your head. It's June 3rd, actually. I don't think I can make you believe me, but we're no on Earth anymore. We're on Klaxion...' The glimmer in his eyes faded, as he knew it would be diffiuclt to convice her of thier adventure, or misadventures. 'Look up, Pixle. Did Earth ever have two suns?'

I'm going on a semi-hiatus. I will be on every few days to check in. Hang in there buddy! Once finals are done, I'll be on more 😊

inkstep • 4 June 2012 at 5:02 AM

@swimforlife not sure;-; but I probably wont be on a whole lot this week! sorry!!! hope we'll both be on more soon! good luck with finals!

Shaking her head a bit, Pixle's eyes slid shut "Look I can't handle a joke like this, I don't know what kind of sick mind you have bu this is pathetic...Please just...just stop..." she muttered, taking a few raspy breaths before getting to her feet, stumbling a bit and struggling to keep her balance. "When will you people just leave me alone..what pleasure do you get in teasing me like I have a better life?" she muttered, turning and hesitating before starting off into the unfamiliar forest.

Deleted • 8 June 2012 at 12:39 PM

@inkstep

The inky clouds closed in around the second sun, giving no water to Charlie's argument. Shrugging his shoulders, he sighed.

'I'm sorry, you;re correct. I was just joking, its horrible I know. You don't deserve to be preyed on like that. My fault, totally. I'll leave you now, but take care of that wound, head injuries are serious matters.' Turning toward the thicket of vines and shrubs, Charlie's feet moved, but his mind did not follow. Continuing away from the girl, every bone in his body ahced to cast a quick glance back. Forcing himself to keep his eye foward was next to impossible.

Woah! 6 days of not writting can really throw you off. Sorry, that was kinda terrible 😱

inkstep • 8 June 2012 at 12:52 PM

@swimforlife hah it's fine

Quivering, Pixle slid down the base of a tree, hugging her knees to her chest "Can you at least tell me how far away I am from my home?" she muttered, taking a few short breaths "I don't have much time...I need to get back..." her voice was shaky and uncertain, her spotted memory staying on the morning of February 20th

Deleted • 8 June 2012 at 12:58 PM

@inkstep

Pixle's quivering voice cause Charlie to wheel around, pivoting on his heels. 'Home?' he asked, heart sinking. How was he supposed to direct her home?

'Pixle, you're not in any condition to walk home by yourself.' Pausing for a moment, he regained his scattered thoughts. 'Look, we were on a feild trip, you and I were paired up. We were supposed to bring a specimine on moss back, but I kinda got us lost. I didn;t want to admit that we were lost, then you slipped on a slick patch and hit your head. I can't believe I let that happen. I've been so irresponsible latley...'
