Life As We Knew It

Dannick was done capturing the far left part of the 'Safe zone'. He'd snapped a picture of each and every type of creature or plant. He realized he was on the very left side of camp, the soldiers completely unaware of his absence.
Turning back to the forest leaves and trees in front of himself, he stepped forward, sweeping away a large leaf to reveal the forest view.
Ducking under some vines, he stood in awe, looking around amazed. It was mind-shattering, the beauty. Every inch of his surroundings glowed a hypnotizing neon, illuminating his path.
Slowly making his way through the trees, Dannick had even forgotten to snap more pictures. His eyes trailed over the magnificent landscape, the beautiful plants, the crowns of trees gently glowing above his head. Every thought of danger had exited his head swiftly, making him completely dumbfounded.

( ok Lets forget about last time 😉 )

Twilight Curled up under a tree as a cat . She heard noises behind the bushes. She wondered off alone and found some camp fire. She saw some humans passing by. Twilight followed them as they go.

Crouching behind a tree, the Water Tribe leader heard a -click- sound nearby. What was that? She peered over to see a human clicking a machine attached to his neck, snapping a flashy light at every single plant and animal.

The early evening light cast a glance at Syvara. Better head back to camp, she thought. She didn't want to be late for a delicious dinner. But then, she took another look at the boy. He was no longer clicking the machine. She walked home silently, trying to avoid any curious humans.

--

Lila and Evelyn looked around curiously. Once, they thought they saw a flash of green, but maybe it was just the light.

"It's beautiful here," Lila exclaimed, looking at the verdant scenery.

"I know right?" Evelyn replied.

They bumped into a boy that looked about their age, holding a camera.

"Hi there!"

Storm saw a human step out. He was a young man carrying a device that looked a bit old. Storm followed him at some distance, smiling as he stared in wonder at the beautiful world Storm called home. She hid in the bushes, enjoying the human's awe. A part of her was somewhat glad that she got to share this with the humans. It was in fact, truly wonderful, and some of Storm's tribe took it for granted.

(ninja'd!)

@ems

On her way home, Syvara bumped into Storm.

"What is going on? Have any humans seen you yet?" She whispered.

ems • 19 April 2013 at 11:06 PM

Storm spun to see Syvara, and put a finger to her lips before motioning to the awe-struck boy and a couple of girls who'd just bumped into him. "I'm kind if glad we can share this with them." She whispered.

twilight_ • 19 April 2013 at 11:09 PM

@ems

Syvara nodded, and silently took a peek.
It had been a long time since she took the time to enjoy the scenery. It truly is beautiful, the velvet sky, the ember green leaves of towering trees. The fantastic and unusual plants there were great too. She felt something on the ground, a bright, red fruit from the lofty tree above. She took a bite, and it was delicious.

At this point, Dannick had completely lost mind and words. His arms were limp by his sides, the camera from his hand had fallen to the ground. Bright blue eyes locked onto the equally bright world around him, he stared in awe. His hand reached over, nearly brushing the tender flowers, fingertips only an inch away from the soft neon glow. Glance after glance, his gaze kept on finding more beauty and more surreal glow and he simply stood staring, motionless.
"Amazing..." he breathed out.
In his awe he hadn't even noticed the two girls standing next to him, regarding him quietly.
The tranquility of this world pulled him in so easily.
And then there was the harsh reality that always tugged him sharply out. An ear-shattering gunshot rung through the air, making him jolt awake and frown at the smoke clowding the sky above them.
He glanced sideways at the two sisters, sighing. "They must have realized we're gone." he mumbled.

Storm was right about to say hello to the humans, a warm feeling inside her. They thought her home was beautiful, and it pleased her. She was happy that they--

A ear-splitting crack rang out. Storm yelped in surprise, covering her ears. She needed to know what it was; right now. She stepped nervously out of the bushes and looked at the newcomers. "What was that?!" She asked. Storm was rather upset, and though she wouldn't admit it; a bit frightened by the noise. Pandorrians didn't use whatever those things were, so it had to be the humans.

twilight_ • 20 April 2013 at 4:29 PM

@ice2505 Accepted, but you forgot the position you are in. It is right after the tribe names. The humans have just landed, we are stalking them(we being the Pandorrians 😋)

Lila and Evelyn sighed, walking away.

--
Syvara almost fainted at an ear-splitting noise overhead. She ducked for a second, not knowing what to do. Pandorrians were see t quiet, peaceful tranquility. She could tell that this would be a very, very long night. The humans, again, had done something wrong.

jupiter_hollow • 20 April 2013 at 4:57 PM

@twilight_ Oi, mind if you tell me more about Pandorra? ^^ I can't understand the concept of the planet being highly technological, but also covered in forests and the people living in tribes and also wearing normal clothes...? :/ I thought it was like indian tribes, who lived in the wild, without technology and all. @ems@twilight_fox Yo mah homies! What up!
@ice2505 Welcome aboard, sailor! *salute*
-
Dannick was planning on going back, already trailing after the girls, when a small ruffle of neon leaves caught his attention. Responding automatically, his head snapped back in fear of whatever was the source of noise.
The plants behind him were shifting forcefully, as if a creature was pushing past. In a split second, the realization that he was completely weaponless hit him hard and he prepared himself to run upon sight of the being.
What emerged from the bushes, however, was the least he expected. A girl... She looked awfully human, normal appearance and fearful expression.
And then her words reached him - 'What was that?'
She lacked knowledge of human weapons, he mused silently, still fully transfixed on the obviously foreign creature. She wasn't from Earth, despite the typical clothes, which made him confused.
He remained silent thoroughly, only staring.

ems • 20 April 2013 at 5:03 PM

@jupiter_hollow Hai. o3o
@twilight_ Yea, I'm confused too. I'd like to think they're more evolved or whatever.. Advanced? But they live in forests, in tribes. XD
@twilight_fox
@ice2505

Storm frowned. "Well? Surprised I look so human, eh?" The boy was just staring at her. "Hello? Could you please tell me what that was?" She was getting impatient and antsy. She thought she heard someone running through the bushes, but told herself it was nothing. /They haven't declared war... That haven't declared war.../ She thought repeatedly, trying to calm herself. What sort of weapons had the humans brought...?

jupiter_hollow • 20 April 2013 at 5:13 PM

In the heat of the awkward moment, Dannick could only open and close his mouth like a fish, utterly confused and obviously speechless. He hadn't gone as far as to make any motion or say a single word. At last, he emmited a single letter, before being cut off.
"I-"
Another gunshot,t his time coming from a closer range, the sound of heavy hectic footsteps accomanying it along the way. He could hear them coming, smellt the smoke in the air, could almost see the camouflage uniforms coming close through the forest.
They were coming fast and they were armed heavily.

ems • 20 April 2013 at 5:21 PM

@jupiter_hollow
@twilight_ Well... Sorry if this isn't the case, but I'm going for the "primitive" thing.
@ice2505

Storm coughed as the smoke filled the air. "What did you guys bring here?" She asked horsely, pulling out her knife. She'd carved it herself from a creature's tooth, a predator similar to the saber tooth tiger. She turned towards the noises, poised and ready to attack if the time came. "They plunder around like it's their planet." She muttered, watching the beautiful plants rustle. "They aren't even sneaky about it either... I come to welcome them, and I'm met with loud noises and pollution. Not to mention potential hostility..."

She glanced over her shoulder at the boy, who still appeared to be confused, but said nothing.

jupiter_hollow • 20 April 2013 at 5:31 PM

@ems In that case I'll edit my post about her normal clothes xD
@twilight_
-
The loud thumping noises combined with the girl's angry voice jolted him awake from 'slumber' and he blinked rapidly, trying to gather his thoughts. Whirling around, he looked back to see the uniformed men advance on them quickly. His head snapped back towards the surreal human and with one swift move, he lightly nudged her back, pushing her back into the bushes right when the army forces barged into the clearing, firearms raised high on alert.
Dannick instinctively flung his hands in the air, giving up.
"Don't shoot, it's me!" he informed them quickly. Still, there was a loud gunshot as the trigger of a rifle was accidentally pulled and a bullet wheezed near his leg, embedding on the ground nearby. "It's me!" he yelled, jumping in fear from the accidental assault.
Receiving glares from all sides, he realized he was in trouble for sneaking out. One of the men tugged him sharply along.
"No, wait, my.. my camera." he shuffled to get away fromt he man and retreive the device from the ground but the grip on him was only tightened.
The camera remained where it was, laying in the glowing grass.

Storm was pushed back into the bushes, but she watched the angry humans pull the kind boy away. He wanted his "camera", but the men simply tugged him away. "Well... He seemed nice. I suppose I could hang onto it for him; he did save me from... Whatever those things were." She wondered about their strange technology for a moment as the footsteps faded, and she skittered carefully out of the cover to retrieve the boy's device. Then Storm did something stupid: she followed the humans. She could return the device, and also gain knowledge of the intruders. They weren't exactly hospitable.... Maybe just afraid. Maybe that's not why they were so hostile, but Storm was getting to the bottom of things.

twilight_ • 20 April 2013 at 6:19 PM

@ems
Sorry for not explaining, there are, like in our world, different parts in Pandorra, so Liek there are districts where there is the highest of technology, but since it is so beautiful there, people live in tribes and the high technology gets sent to them once in a while, does that help a bit? And yes, they look like regular people.
--
Syvara wondered where Storm was. No...She thought a terrible thought. Had she followed the humans? If so, Syvara had to help. Seriously, didn't Storm know she shouldn't go on an adventure without her?

jupiter_hollow • 20 April 2013 at 6:20 PM

@ems When should I introduce Danny's bro? @twilight_ @twilight_fox @ice2505
-
"Would you stopp dragging me now?" the young man protested angrily against the iron grip on his forearm, but the soldier currently anchoring him in place refused to budge. He couldn't match the hectic pace of these men and was left to trip and fall and get dragged along after them.
From his place at the very back of the group, he could detect a light ruffle of bushes several feet behind them. It was clearly following them.
He looked back while walking, examining their surroundings for anything suspicious. Through the bushes he met a pair of neon green eyes that actually stood out, brighter than the glow of the plants. The girl was following them.
He frowned pointedly, completely engrossed in attempting to swat and signal for her to go back. Hence the lack of attention to their road, he soon accidentally slammed his head into something hard and winced, looking up to discover it to be a branch.

twilight_ • 20 April 2013 at 6:22 PM

@ems @jupiter_hollow @twilight_fox Now is fine with me.

Syvara ran to find Storm, and found her Pandorrian friend spying on the human boy.

"What is he doing here?"




(Wait can someone catch me up on the plot? Sorry, I was gone for a couple and I'm kinda confused...)
@nasyiaxm

jupiter_hollow • 20 April 2013 at 6:47 PM

@twilight_ I feel like making a tribe boy for some reason 😋 I've got Dannick, I'll be making Tyler (his bigger brother that is also part of the military forces) and now if I'm allowed, can I make another male character? ^^

ems • 20 April 2013 at 7:04 PM

@twilight_ Dude! D: Why can't Storm go alone... Ever? Also, she has no friends. :x So it's sort of silly for your charrie to be offended by the fact that Storm went off by herself... Is it okay if Storm ignores that for now? Also, she isn't spying, she's following.
@jupiter_hollow
@ice2505
@twilight_fox
Sorry this is so short guys... :x
--

Storm blatantly ignored the boy's signals, but quieted down, making only the slightest rustles in hopes that the humans would dismiss the sound as their own movements. She needed to know more of these people. Besides, a little adventure never hurt her before.

twilight_ • 20 April 2013 at 7:28 PM

@ems sorry ☹️ I'm still kind of new to this whole roleplaying thing...I guess we can restart that part
@jupiter_hollow fine by me!

Syvara walked home.

(Don't know what else to say...)
And I'm still kinda confused about the plot...Not to be a drama hog but how am I involved in it...

ems • 20 April 2013 at 7:39 PM

@twilight_ 😋 It's okay, I just want Storm to be alone right now. *patpat* And you can always talk to people in the water tribe... Just make some peeps up until we have more people. You'll get back in the plot, I promise. Sometimes charries are kind of out of the action for a bit. 😉

twilight_ • 20 April 2013 at 7:42 PM

@ems *sniff sniff* Really? O.o

Syvara walked back to camp, but got lost on the way there for some reason. She just couldn't wait for this day to be over.

ems • 20 April 2013 at 7:52 PM

@twilight_ Uh huh. ^^ I have to wait for Jupe to reply though. xD

twilight_ • 20 April 2013 at 8:01 PM

@ems Who's Jupe? All I know of is...Oh wait.
@jupiter_hollow

Syvara did more random stuff.

@twilight_ @ems @jupiter_hollow @ice2505 . Sorry 😃 . My internet is real slow :/

Twilight heard clapping noises behind her. She turned. She saw a shadow of a human. She crept into the bushes to see who it is. She tripped over a rock and landed in a hole. Twilight found three lost pandorrians in that hole. She started speaking " Who are you ? What tribe are you from ? " . The pandorrians shrug and shook their heads. Twilight got confused and climb back up. She come upon Storm and told her what happened.
