Magical Creatures Roleplay

wolfmilk • 11 July 2012 at 10:46 PM

Dylan's gaze wandered over the objects. There were a lot to choose from and judging from what happened earlier with the bird, it would determine the type of creature which would hatch. He was indecisive on two objects - a curved claw and a razor-sharp fang. Dylan was so engrossed in thought that he paid no attention to chatter and conversation behind him.

His heart fluttered with anticipation in his chest at the prospect of having a companion. Resisting the urge to jump up and down like an excited child, his hand passed over the claw and a small tingle ran up his spine. Dylan smiled and said, "This claw please."

You can bring your character into the roleplay.

Laurel surveyed the crowd while Dylan took his time choosing. She wasn't in any rush, but to be completely honest with herself, she was excited to see the final product. Absentmindedly, she took the key out of her pocket and twirled it between her finger and thumb.

"Claw it is," she replied, slipping the key into the lock and twisting it. With light fingers she removed the claw in question and tossed it into the kettle. It landed with a sharp clink. As Laurel carefully locked the case back up, the mixture began to shift. Popping and sputtering sounds rose from it, and eventually columns of steam drifted up.

Laurel turned to face Dylan once more and held out her hand. "I'm going to need one hair, please," she instructed.

Dylan gazed at the kettle with unrestrained fascination as he absentmindedly plucked a raven black strand of hair from his head. With his eyes still focused on the kettle, he slowly placed it into Laurel's outstretched fingers.

"I can't to wait to see what would appear," He admitted, feeling rather giddy.

Hi! I hope it's not too lat to join 😸


Name: Ryu Kemi
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Apperance: Ryu is a natural blonde, but she had highlights put in. Her new hair is bleach blonde with a few neon blue stripes. Ryu wears a dark green hooded jacket with a dragon on the back. Ryu has very pale skin, and almost never gets close to tanning. Ryu always wears her jacket, whether tied at her side or actually on. She also always wears jeans and some Nikes. Ryu also always has her scarf around her. It is just a wispy silk scarf, but her sister gave it to her. It is bright orange, supposed to be a flame. Lastly, Ryu has a beaded bracelet. Nothing special. It's just a bracelet with medium sized red beads.
Personality: Ryu is normally very kind. She is quiet, so not many people see her as kind. She likes to meet people, but only really listens, not talks. Despite her quiet nature, she is a very curious girl. She may not voice her questions, but she cannot sit still, or keep from looking at the entire room. She is also pretty smart, and loves to read.
Other: Ryu's parents named her Ryu Kemi because of the meaning. Ryu (Ryuu or 竜) is Japanese for dragon. Kemi means that God is taking care of you. So Ryu Kemi would be the Dragon God is taking care of you. Viola~ A lesson in a sign up x3

Alura watched the kettle with interest from a corner of the stall.

@cqpkytty where are they?

I'm pretty sure everyone is in the shop 😋

"It's always an adventure," Laurel remarked with a smile, taking the hair from Dylan and dropping it into the kettle. The mixture let out a single pop before it began to gurgle. With practiced, graceful movements, she stirred the mixture three times clockwise with the long-handled spoon. Then, she laid the spoon aside and flipped the kettle over.

Ordinarily she would have asked Dylan to do the counting, but from his previous remarks, she could tell he was excited to move forward. Laurel simply smiled at him as she counted to ten in her head, then bent low to the ground and hoisted up the kettle.

The petite aquamarine had morphed into an oval the size of a football. Laurel's eyes went a little wide; it was bigger than she had expected it to be. "Just a moment," she assured Dylan, slipping away from the table to enter the back of the tent. She came back dragging what appeared to be a ten gallon fish tank and a running hose. She laid the fish tank to the left of the table, opposite the kettle, and then filled it full of water. "Getting these to hatch is the hardest part," she murmured with a smile, before she picked up the shimmering blue egg and submerged it within the tank.

No more than a few seconds passed before the egg began to wobble. It rocked along the bottom of the tank, clinking against the glass. Like with the red bird from before, a tapping sound could be heard coming from inside.

The shell splintered quickly, and a little grey beak peeked through the gap. Before long, the creature chipped a substantial portion of the shell away and crawled out into the tank.

It was about the size of a house cat. Its eyes were round and captivating, with shining yellow irises and circular black pupils. It had the head of an eagle, with a wickedly sharp ashen grey beak. Its front half was covered in wispy, fluffy grey-brown feathers; the creature was still a chick. At the bottom of its breast the feathers began to turn white, and they remained white down its front legs until they reached its hooked grey talons. The overall body of the creature was feline, from its cloudy brown-grey coat to its powerful back legs to its twitching tail. The fur was sparse and wispy as well, like with most young kittens. Folded on its back were a little pair of wings.

The gryphon opened its beak, exposing its pink tongue as it took in water. It appeared to have no trouble breathing, and its fur and feathers formed an insulating coat against its lithe body.

cqpkytty • 12 July 2012 at 12:25 PM

Alura watched, waiting to see what would hatch.

silver_winged • 12 July 2012 at 12:26 PM

"What lovely fur," Laurel mused. It was richly hued, with black spots and broken stripes like a fishing cat. The creature seemed perfectly at home under water, but Dylan was most likely eager to hold it. "You can take it out if you like," she instructed with a bright smile, circling around the back of the table to stand in front of the kettle once more. Her eyes found Elly's.

"Pick a rock," she instructed, having not heard the girl's question from earlier. She kept glancing back at Dylan and the gryphon.

The shop is a tent set up along the road. The neighborhood is having a street fair, so the whole atmosphere is bright and kind of busy. The introductory paragraphs explain it all.

cqpkytty • 12 July 2012 at 12:26 PM

@silver_winged
I know that 😋

hedwig68 • 12 July 2012 at 12:34 PM

Alex's jaws dropped and she gaped at the gryphon, "Whoa." She had read about gryphons in a fantasy book once but that was fictional. She was now staring at a living and breathing gryphon, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. First the beautiful bird and now a magestic gryphon, what was this place? All the questions that had entered his mind earlier reappeared in her head and she became confused again. She looked at the lady, Laurel, and asked, "What is this place? Who are you?"

buubles1688 • 12 July 2012 at 2:40 PM

@silver_winged
@cqpkytty can Hazel meet up with Alura
Thanks

taffy789 • 12 July 2012 at 2:53 PM

@silver_winged

Elly stared, wide eyed, at Dylan's creature.
"Is that...What I think it is?" she questioned softly, almost paling.
She quickly drew a deep breath to settle the shock, and tried to calm down. It was all too...new to her.
Even though she was now rather worried, Elly glanced back at the small bowl of stones, deciding to focus on choosing a gemstone instead.
They were all rather pretty...Could she only take just one? Her hands started to feel a bit twichy... But then she saw the stone she wanted-obsidian.
Elly had always liked obsidian...The deep black color had always mystified her.
"I choose obsidian." Elly smiled, picking up the small stone in her hand.

silver_winged • 12 July 2012 at 4:56 PM

@hedwig68 @taffy789

Laurel stared at Alex head on, a slightly awkward smile plastered to her face as she formulated an appropriate answer. "Well, like I said earlier, I'm a witch. There used to be more of us back in the day--before serious doctors and all that. Really our job is to tailor to the needs of the people. The way I see it, nowadays that need is social more than anything." Her eyes drifted toward Dylan, and then over toward Elly, before returning back to Alex. "Despite how connected the world is now, people feel lonelier than ever. So my service is to create friends--lifelong companions." She cast Alex a nod. "I can't tell you everything, but I can answer some questions I guess." Then she held up a hand, signaling Alex to wait for a moment, and turned to Elly. The girl had finally selected a stone.

"Nice choice," she replied brightly, taking the stone and tossing it into the kettle. She had the feeling that most of the observers had learned how it was going to work. "Next you have to choose a plant."

hedwig68 • 12 July 2012 at 5:03 PM

"You have no idea ," Alex mumbled to herself as Laurel mentioned the need for friends. Alex had never had many friends and she was never really close to anyone, she realized that she had been lonely like Laurel said. When Laurel signaled to hold her questions for a moment Alex began to think about what kind of creature she would end up with. She thought of many different things and she had one thought stuck in her mind: she hoped that it would be some kind of dog like creature. Alex adored all kinds of canines and she loved them a lot.

taffy789 • 12 July 2012 at 5:43 PM

@silver_winged

Elly pondered if she really NEEDED a friend...She had a few friends, but was she lonely? What did she really need?
...
...
...
After a good two minutes of hard thinking, Elly gave up, and decided just to choose a plant.
"Oh, a cactus blossom." Elly smiled brightly, picking up the small white flower in her hand. "I think it's cool how these flowers can grow on something that everyone is usually afraid to appoarch."
The girl handed the flower to Laurel, examining the woman carefully.
"So...You're a live witch?" , Elly started to say carefully, "To be honest...This is a bit too much to take in."

cqpkytty • 12 July 2012 at 9:19 PM

@buubles1688
Alura is in the shop with everyone else...

buubles1688 • 12 July 2012 at 10:01 PM

@cqpkytty

Hazel ran in the shop, hoping it wasn't too late. She squishes between everyone to find Alura. Finally she spots her. Then she looks up and sees something was about to hatch. She wonders what it is. She stops to look what it hatches into. Then she sees...

cqpkytty • 12 July 2012 at 10:38 PM

@buubles1688
...ok, 1, what's her rush? 😋 and 2, how does she know Alura? 😋

wolfmilk • 13 July 2012 at 6:21 AM

@silver_winged

As soon as the little gryphon hatched, Dylan's breath caught in his throat. It was beautiful - magical, something out of a fairytale and Dylan had to pinch himself to assure him that he wasn't in a dream.

He dipped both of his hands into the water and lifted the creature out. It squawked in protest at being taken away from its environment but soon settled down into Dylan's arms. The water rolled off easily from its fur and feathers from a coating of oil, much like a duck's feathers. Soon, it was happily snuggled against his chest. Even though its small talons dug painfully into his arms, Dylan found it too adorable and innocent to care. As Dylan gently cradled the creature, he felt himself grin like a happy idiot.

After taking a quick glance between the gryphon's legs, he determined that it was male.
"I name him... Affremo," He announced softly.

Affremo looked up to Dylan and squawked again with approval of its new name. It looked around at its surroundings with curious eyes and shuffled its wings slightly.

For the first time since the egg hatched, Dylan looked up and met Laurel's eyes. "Thank you, thank you so much!" He gushed.

buubles1688 • 13 July 2012 at 10:36 AM

@cqpkytty

1. She's in a rush cause...hm, I need to think about that.

2. Can they be friends? Sorry I didn't ask before

cqpkytty • 13 July 2012 at 1:51 PM

@buubles1688
Sorry no, she doesn't have any friends 😋 But if you want, Hazel could be one of the people who teases Alura (Don't feel mean about it, she's teased by literally everyone who knows her 😋)

buubles1688 • 13 July 2012 at 2:57 PM

@cqpkytty Nah, Hazel is nice 😊

Hazel went toward to stage. When she was walking, she accidentally stepped on someone's foot. She looks up, she saw Alura. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to step on your foot!"

silver_winged • 13 July 2012 at 3:10 PM

@hedwig68 @taffy789 @wolfmilk @buubles1688

"If you want to speed things up, you can make your choices now so there's less waiting once it's your turn," Laurel said to Alex as she waited for Elly. The girl finally decided on a round white cactus flower, with pointed petals and pale, yellow-tinged stamen.

Laurel herself preferred the pink cactus blossoms, but accepted Elly's choice with a bright smile and a hasty deposit of the flower within the kettle. "It's pretty cool," she replied in a tone that sounded almost distracted. Cactus blossoms were perhaps the most symbolic flowers she provided, representing either resilience or duality. "I'm a real, live witch," Laurel confirmed with a nod. "You don't have to believe it if you don't want to. So, now you have to pick your perfume. One scent or two, if you can't decide."

In that time, Dylan had retrieved his creature from the tank of water and held it in his arms. Affremo sounded like an odd name to Laurel, but she wasn't one to voice her judgments. "You're welcome," she replied gently, with a pleased smile.

Another girl rushed into the tent area, barging into the crowd like a charging bull. "Careful!" Laurel shouted to her. She couldn't afford to replace anything that was broken. "I believe we have a line now, so remember your place and I'll get to you in a while."

hedwig68 • 13 July 2012 at 5:28 PM

Alex had been so lost in her thoughts that she jumped in surprise as Laurel spoke to her. She managed to hear what the witch said and she nodded, "Ok." She looked at all the stones and began to shift through them until she held up a smooth green stone. She knew nothing about the stone so she asked, "Excuse me ma'am, what kind of stone is this?" She looked at it curiously and she held it out so that Laurel could see.

taffy789 • 13 July 2012 at 8:24 PM

"Well, I would say you certainly seem like a witch to me...With the creatures and all..."
Elly mused outloud in thought.
She wondered about which perfume she should choose, sniffing each of them, trying to decide.
As she sniffed the bottle labeled "Lemongrass", a sharp smell filled her nose.
She'd never even heard of lemongrass before, much less smelt it.
"I'll choose this one." Elly decided, pointing to the small bottle.
"Next I choose from the fur. And things, correct?"

cqpkytty • 14 July 2012 at 11:02 PM

@silver_winged
I changed some things on my charrie's form, I didn't like a few parts of it that much 😋

@buubles1688
...How does Hazel know Alura and not tease her? Those statements don't work together 😋

---
Alura shrugged at the girl. "It's fine." She decided to pick her things in advance. She walked over to the stones and, after some indecision, took a smooth, reddish gold stone. It was glossy, and had an almost velvety feel to it. She moved on to the flowers, and immediately chose a goldenrod. She sniffed each of the perfumes before selecting one. Its label was smudged, but it reminded her of how Amy* smelled on a hot day. Finally, she turned to the case. After looking at all the objects, she decided on a large yellow feather that had caught her eye. Holding three of the things and keeping the feather in mind, she waited for it to be her turn.

*One of her cats.

buubles1688 • 15 July 2012 at 11:01 AM

@cqpkytty fine, 😊 Hazel doesn't know her but she still stepped on her foot.
~~~~~~~~


The forest was Hazel's favorite place to go. She likes to take her camera and take pictures. Also, Hazel was very friendly to the animals there.

So that day, Hazel walked outside to see the fresh air. Hazel walks back to the forest. Hazel walked in the forest, expecting the usual, but then she saw another girl, sitting on a tree.
