The Supernatural Games ~ RP (:

Phoebe seemed quite calm and content, event though she has the risk of dying everyday while in these games.
"How do you do it?" Claria cautiously asked Phoebe.

[Did you get the name Phoebe from the novel Walk Two Moons?]

silver_winged • 22 May 2012 at 5:35 PM

@whispers Nope, can't say I did. Phoebe comes from a Greek word meaning "bright one" or something like that. I was originally going to give her light bending/illusion powers, but when I joined this topic, that power was taken. I like the name, though, so I kept it rather than look for another one. ^^;

Phoebe raised an eyebrow in an unamused and slightly perplexed expression. First blatantly obvious, now hopelessly vague, she thought to herself bitterly. "How do I do what?" she then asked, prompting the girl to elaborate.

Going back a few steps, Aizel pepared herself to attack. Her feet were placed exactly half a meter from one another, her shoulders were lowered and her eyes-narrowed. Her trembling hands were gripping the large axe in anticipation.

The girl seemed harmless and appeared to be wanting peace, but in Aizel's eyes she still remained the heartless human who had left her to drown in her own blood. She had been there, right in front of Aizel and all she had done was watch. As if she had waited her to die... There was no place for trust to this girl in Aizel's mind.

[That's cool =) I remember that name was the main character's from Walk Two Moons, so I wondered 😋]

"You act so... calm and content - well, that's from what I've seen of you. How do you stay that way when you know death is possibly right around the corner?"
This girl didn't seem to understand her. But then again - she realized that nobody could.

silver_winged • 22 May 2012 at 5:50 PM

@whispers It's also the name of a character from the TV show Friends. XD It's not an uncommon name. What's that book about? I've never heard of it.

Phoebe paused for a long moment, taking in a deep breath. When the girl was communicating efficiently, she posed good questions. Phoebe had never been any other way, she realized as she stood there, staring at the potentially dangerous group of girls. Of course she was afraid that they might attack her--three against two, she and Kenny were at a disadvantage. Still, she'd never felt much comfort in burdening others with her worries, and acting nervous might only make her seem weak.

The incident from the first night then came to mind, in which terror had completely overwhelmed her and shattered her careful mechanism of self control. Once gone, she had hunted and killed and then bawled into the arms of a stranger without thinking. Self control was what kept her together, she mused thoughtfully.

"Self control," she replied deliberately. Her words seemed heavy, measured. "Emotion is a separate thing from behavior."

Hearing a shift in the dirt as well as in heart rate, she angled her head so that she was facing the dark-haired girl, Aizel. It was a wonder to Phoebe that Aizel was still alive; she was sure the earthquake would have done her in, if not the wound.

[It's a bit too complicated to explain XD]

Claria felt sympathy. Then feeling of unease going through her - that was Claria's whole life.

"So that's how," she mumbled, "That's what I must learn."
Her heads steadily shook. 'Not now, not now!' She thought.
Then her whole body started to shake uncontrollably. She wanted to run - but couldn't run.
Her knees buckled and she collapsed. She laid their shaking - just wishing it would stop. After a minute or two, it did.
Her muscles were sore and her tongue was bleeding. She didn't bother to look up at all the girls.
It was just too embarrassing, after what happened.
The anger building up inside her...she hated her life - she wanted to die. This stupid demon that randomly takes over - it was a curse that her powers probably gave her. She hated it.
Claria began to cry. This was unusual for - very unusual.

jupiter_hollow • 22 May 2012 at 6:07 PM

@silver_winged Bawling in the arms of a stranger? I missed that part, I guess... O.o

Aizel frowned, glaring furiously at Phoebe. Her eyes blurred with blind fury as she was ready to pounce onto her and rip that dull expression from her face. It did not matter what she said or did at this very moment, the image of her cold, impassionate eyes.

She straihtened herself, loosening her mad grip on the axe and decided to just stand aside and glare bloody death at Phoebe. The calm and collected posture of the girl irked her to no end. What was this human? Was she human at all? Right now, at this very moment, Aizel was ready to believe her to be some kind of strange humanized robot without feelings. Now that she thought about it, she'd never seen the girl smile or laugh, frown or show sorrow for anybody, despite the time she had spent observing her.

Squinting her eyes, Aizel glanced sideways at Claria. She seemed to trust Phoebe(why, Aizel did not know...). She snapped her head back towards Phoebe and snarled.
"Why do you bother to talk to us? Aren't you here to attack?" she growled.

silver_winged • 22 May 2012 at 6:22 PM

@jupiter_hollow Well, back when Kenny was a stranger. ^^; He's an ally now. I love playing Phoebe because she's so completely unlike me. I'm the most expressive person I know. XD
@whispers @blackdeathkitty @bunnyshadow

Phoebe kept her eyes on Aizel, hearing Claria's comment but not paying it much heed. The girl was glaring pellucid hatred, and all but strangling the axe with her grip. Her black eyes were seething, piercing--and Phoebe could only stare. Her own eyes, cool and grey, tightened slightly as if in scrutiny. She wondered what could have prompted this kind of hostility. Was it possible that she remembered her, from right before the earthquake struck? It was unlikely, as she was just on the brink of unconsciousness, but it was the best explanation Phoebe could come up with (other than genuine mental handicap.)

Then the girl was shifting and whipping her head around and snarling like some beast. Both Phoebe's eyebrows raised this time (albeit slightly) in true surprise.

"If I was here to attack," she said as neutrally as ever, "I would have come from behind."

No sooner had these words come out of her mouth when Claria hit the floor. Phoebe stared down as the girl trembled in the dirt. She opened her mouth slightly as if there was something she wanted to say, but not a single word came out. Instead she peered down, waiting until the girl became still. (In her unprofessional eyes, it looked something like a seizure.) "Are you all right?" she asked warily.

@blackdeathkitty

As soon as Claria had broken down, crying and sobbing on the ground, warm hands quickly embraced her, gripping her shoulders tightly. Aizel was gently soothing her, worried expression plastered to her face. The axe lay completely forgotten in the dust next to her as she was looking at Claria with worry. True, the girl was barely an acquintance of hers but she seemed like a gentle person none the less.

It didn't matter that they were now vulnerable to the robot girl. She had only the useless power of sound and frankly, Aizel didn't know what she was capable of doing with those powers.
"Does she look okay?" Aizel murmured quietly, not even bothering to turn to Phoebe.

Deleted • 22 May 2012 at 6:38 PM

Lupa glared at Phoebe. While Aizel calmed Claria down, she stayed standing with her dagger out. "One wrong move and your dead." She growled to Phoebe and Kenny. "What is your skill?" she asked.

@blackdeathkitty @jupiter_hollow @whispers

Phoebe looked on as Aizel rushed to Claria's care. Her arms stiffened slightly; the blatantly affectionate gesture made her feel awkward, or at least a bit discomforted. She wondered whether the other girl found the embrace comforting.

As soon as Aizel abandoned her axe, Phoebe turned to face Lupa once more, careful to face the most immediate threat. I should say the same for you, she snapped internally, but on the outside Phoebe merely blinked.

"Sound," she replied to Lupa, ignoring Aizel's ill-intentioned retort. While not particularly specific (it was never good to reveal all one's secrets), it would hopefully demonstrate that she was not trying to be evasive.

Her heart raced, and she was still in a bit of shock. Her seizures hadn't done this for a while - she thought she had been freed of the demon.
"I'm alright," she slowly stood up. Her kneecaps were bobbing up and down. "Just my Epilepsy acting up."

Lupa got up. "Can you walk?" she asked Claria. She turned to the others. "We should go. What weapons do you have?" She asked Phoebe and Kenny.

silver_winged • 22 May 2012 at 7:12 PM

@blackdeathkitty @bunnyshadow @jupiter_hollow @whispers

Phoebe nodded in response to Claria, secretly grateful that the situation wasn't going to get much more emotional. Already an outcast to the group, she wasn't sure they'd accept her if it came down to having to demonstrate compassion. She felt sympathy for the girl, but she certainly did not appear to.

"The dagger," she replied curtly. "We had a spear but it was lost in the flood. Where are we going?"

Noticing that Kenny hadn't spoken a word since the interaction had begun, she shot him a terse, disapproving look.

jupiter_hollow • 22 May 2012 at 7:23 PM

Helping Claria up, Aizel glanced sideways at Phoebe and Kenny with wary eyes. The two still didn't seem trustworthy enough and she was fairly reluctant to go with them. They still remained the outcasts of the group and she knew all too well that she wouldn't accept them easily, if at all.

Bending down to pick up her axe, Aizel grunted slightly when pressure was trained onto her left side, where the giant snake had left her a bloody gift. The gash still bled but the unbearable pain she used to feel before was now dulled to a slight itch. She wondered if the brandy that she'd drank from the pond had some strange painkiler laced with it. She was still suspicious about the creatures and places on the island...

"I think we should go... We should track down people with supples." she rapsed again. Her voice seemed louder now and more confident as well. "We've agthered a fairly large group so we might as well use numbers to our advantage." she had to pause every now and then to cough slightly but she was used to that since she was a child. Having lost two of her chords, she was forbidden to talk too much because of the inevitable danger of losing the little voice she had left...

whispers • 22 May 2012 at 7:24 PM

@blackdeathkitty
"Yes, I can"
She began to walk over to a rock and sat down.
A bit shocked by the incident - she was going to go low key for a few days. Just go along with the crew, and be as settle as possible.

Claria stared at the dagger, it was sharp, and it seemed to have a bit of a stain on it. She wanted to rip it out of her hand. That would definitively get her killed though.

Then the rustle. The twigs crackled under the person's weight. This was her time to gain proof that she was valuable. She mutated into the form of a large cat. A panther. It was her favorite forum to be in.

With her claws out, and her fangs baring, she lunged out of the bushes and onto this unknown person that was coming near them. She thrashed at this person. She was letting all her anger out on this helpless person.

Then she awakened her eyes, "I've done it."
But baffled, she had no clue who this girl was.

jupiter_hollow • 22 May 2012 at 8:18 PM

@whispers

Despite the maddened girl who was currently ripping an already ripped and blood splattered body apart, she simply stood there and watched without so much as blinking. It did not amuse her or surprise her whatsoever.

It was true that her knees would usually become unconvenently waggly at the sight of blood, but that was all in the past now. She had come here and had faced death with a proud stature. She had survived so there was no place for any fear anymore.

As Claria was done devouring the girl, she calmly walked pver to her and placed a comforting hand onto her shoulder.
"Are you done?" she asked. Her voice was laced with compassion, but the feeling was barely coherent.

whispers • 22 May 2012 at 8:27 PM

@jupiter_hollow
She looked up from the already torn up body, "Oh, uh, yes."

She stood up. Her uniform was a bloody mess. It smelled too, which was even worse.
[Is there a sign to show deaths, like in the Hunger Games, they have the cannons, then at night they show the deaths?]

"Do you have any idea who in the world this is?" She looked at the girl. Looked a bit dizzy, and shocked at her own recent actions.

"I must've scared you..." She whispered.

"I'm sorry, I'm not good with blood. My partner recently died. I really have to work on getting stronger..." Lupa sighed. "I think her name is Selena." she continued. "Let's see what she has. Then we should burn her." sh said.

Grace mouthed the word 'run' as she heard people coming. She hopped through a long line of trees. Then she panicked. Selena wasn't near her. It felt like a thousand boulders were pelting her as she heard a cannon. Grace lost her breath as her eyes watered. "No," she whispered.

Feeling slightly more comfortable among them, Phoebe lowered her dagger to her side, though she would not completely put it away. Let a full night go by before I decide, Phoebe thought to herself.

Then, a rustle in the bushes, from very close by. She hadn't been paying attention. "There," she murmured coldly, her head whipping to face the sound; but Claria had already gone after it, and the sound of screams and tearing flesh echoed out through the trees. Phoebe winced slightly, her chin dipping toward her chest as her eyebrows knit together, but soon the whole ordeal was over. She approached behind Aizel, observing the scene from a distance. Claria practically dripped with gore, and the figure on the ground was nearly indistinguishable.

"Not at all," she replied coolly to her comment about scaring them. In all honestly, it was comforting to see an animal morph acting like an honest animal morph. Irregularity was what she needed to be afraid of. "If we burn her, we need to get out of here immediately," Phoebe piped up. "That other body has been going for a while; the others are bound to have seen the smoke by now. Burning this one will only confirm that we're still here."

"You're right. We should bury her. We could throw her into the ocean, but her body would be recovered later..." Lupa thought out loud. "We should go hunting. Do any of you have arrows?" she asked. "I have a bow but no arrows..."

"I don't have arrows," she mocked. "The only weapons I have are my claws." As the words left her lips, a dark and sinister smile grew across her face.
