Delilah, her focus having been on the castle, nearly leaped out of her skin at the sound of an unfamiliar voice. She whirled around to face the stranger, eyes wide, and relaxed only slightly as she realized the stranger wasn't a threat. "Um... hi?" She tilted her head to stare at his odd, dragon features for a moment, before averting her gaze so as not to seem impolite. "Do you maybe live here? I'm... sorta hungry, and looking for a place to rest." She smiled sheepishly. In all actuality, her assumption would be an embarrassment upon discovering Chase did not inhabit the castle. But how was she to know?

(It's gonna be fun if anyone ever tries to get violent while in the castle, since it somehow prevents harm. Like, guns won't fire and knives won't cut if they're used against somebody. I suspect if you tried to punch someone, your arm would just grow tired and heavy before making contact with them. Pandora's not going to be happy about any of that.)

"Which country?" Pandora pressed. "Well, she's obviously not a normal kid. I doubt she's human. Did you hear what Alfonse said about not finding a pulse?" Aurora wondered if the girl were somehow dead. No, but that wouldn't make any sense. But then a voice in the back of her mind nudged her, and reminded her that changing one's shape didn't make much sense either. |

(Ugh, jeez, sorry Moon. I've been so distracted and whatnot with our runaway washing machine and pack of practically-rabid dogs that I kept forgetting to reply.)
Alfonse sensed the girl would use the information to her advantage if she were to discover where he was from. He cleared his throat before taking another bite of his apple, and answered anyway. His tone was, for a moment, not that of a genius and of a prodigy, but of a somewhat ashamed teenaged boy, and he narrowed his eyes. "The United States of America."
Ferra nodded solemnly. "I feel some very bad energy from her. I'm not quite sure why, but maybe she is a sort of undead species. I've heard tales of stranger things."

(Wait so Sasha just switches from male to female whenever they want?)
Chase's gaze softened slightly as he realised she was no threat to him, but his face itself hardly changed. He looked at his side where he was wearing a satchel, and pulled out a pear from inside. He through it to her. "I have food, but I don't live here sorry." He said to him with a small polite smile. "I was actually going to ask you the same question." He added.

Delilah's cheeks reddened as she realized her assumption had been false; the adolescent was quite easily embarrassed. She was able to redeem herself just slightly, and caught the fruit with ease. "O-oh, thank you." She glanced down at the fruit in her hand, and then back towards her acquaintance. "I actually just found this place. I'm not sure if anyone even lives here, but I didn't want to go inside uninvited." The shapeshifter gave a small laugh, and tossed the pear from hand to hand. "Funny that someone else would show up now." A friendly smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

"Ah, I've been there before." Pandora shook her head and tut-tutted, "Americans. Such wasteful, ignorant, disrespectful creatures." She tut-tutted again. (*would go on more, but don't want to risk offending anyone* XD)
Aurora was an avid fan of Stranger Things. Aurora nodded thoughtfully, "It wouldn't really surprise me. I've seen things just as... unusual. I guess this place attracts it." She shrugged, "Where did you say you were from?" She said suddenly, trying to shift the subject to something less uncomfortable. At least, she hoped the question wouldn't make Ferra uncomfortable.

Alfonse's expression grew puzzled. "You have been to America, then?"
Ferra looked up from where she sat. "I lived in one of the human tribes to the north." She smiled only slightly.

Pandora nodded, "I lived in upstate New York for... a while. I'm originally from Europe, however." One could just barely make out the ghost of some European accent in her words, but for the most part, she sounded like a generic North American. Probably because she'd been there for so long before eventually coming to Lamura.
Aurora vaguely remembered seeing something about human tribes on a map. Then, something entered her mind and she suddenly turned to Ferra, "You mentioned that your father is an elf. Was your mother a human, or...?" She caught herself, realizing that Ferra may not like these sorts of questions, and apologized for asking them, "If you're not comfortable with answering that, I'll understand."

Alfonse's expression twisted into one of interest, and slight wonder. Although he wasn't fond of the child, he did find her rather interesting, if only somewhat impolite and strange. He frowned at the girl's mention of his home state. He didn't speak for a moment, unsure of how to respond. The genius's pride was somewhat wounded; he had thought, all this time, that he was the only one to have made it into this alternate universe. He tossed his apple core into a nearby wastebasket, and eyed the girl, almost angrily. "May I ask how you managed to travel between Earth and this planet?"
Ferra shook her head. "Oh, no, don't worry at all. My father was elvish, and my mother was human. She left me with her tribe when I was young. I don't remember her, or my father, very much. My grandmother raised me, but I think she's recently gone a little senile, for lack of a better term. She holds a lot of resentment, though, I think, towards my mother, for leaving the way she did."

Pandora giggled, her eyes glinting mischievously, "No, I think I'll just keep that to myself. But I will say, it's not too terribly difficult. If I really wanted, I could go back."
As Aurora listened, her shoulders began to sag. She'd been hoping for a slightly different answer, even though she still was very happy to have another half elf around to talk to, "I'm sorry that happened. I suppose I can relate to that. My father sort of abandoned me, but left me here by myself instead of with a relative." She shook her head, "At least he left me with a friend." She said, thinking on Catori.

Alfonse's jaw dropped almost instantaneously. He had spent so much time, so much effort, simply to prove the existence of this place, and now a mere child was telling him that it "wasn't that difficult" to just travel between the two worlds, as if they were only a few miles apart? He didn't betray his discontent, however, but instead cleared his throat, and began to make his way out of the kitchen. "Enjoy your hunt." Immediately after having left the kitchen, Alfonse began to search for another resident whom he knew wasn't human. He had to confirm Pandora's account. What if travelling between dimensions was actually a simple matter, and humans were just too dense or stupid to have figured it out? Still, Alfonse stroked his chin, he was the first he had known of to have made the discovery. That had to count for something, right? Ferra blinked, and recalled seeing the gray wolf walk with Aurora earlier in the day. "Well, at least you weren't totally alone. Sometimes, I think it may have been better that I was in the same predicament. I never got along well with any of my tribemates. Many of them felt that I was too different to ever really be a part of the tribe. Granted, our chief was an exception, and that helped, greatly. See, I... I have this ability. I can sense others' auras, not just people. Animals, and even plants..." She paused and leaned forward in her seat. "I was supposed to take my grandmother's position after she passed away; she was a tribe councillor. I'll never know if that will have changed my standing with my tribe, but... really, I guess it doesn't matter much. I'm not going back. I-I don't know where I'll go, but I won't go back there." (I'm off to bed, guys.  Good night!) |

(Cool! I can add that, if you want. Also, I photoshop a lot so if anyone has pictures of characters they would like edited - or really, any pictures at all - I can do that. I'm working on a picture right now of one of Qtip's characters. :3
After I finish typing my post, Pandora will be free to interact with. She's so fun to RP.)

"Funny that someone else would show up now." A friendly smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Chase nodded and put the rapier back in it's holder, figuring she was not going to attack or anything. He shrugged. "Fair enough then. Of course, what if no one lived here and we are missing out on something to explore through?" He said with a raise of his eyebrow, though he didn't mind not going in anyway. "Hey actually is there an easier way to get here? I went through way too many thorns then I'd prefer." He asked her curiously. |

As Alfonse left the kitchen, Pandora burst into a loud fit of gleeful laughter. She'd taken great pleasure in angering the scientist. "I guess I'll go on that hunt now." She skipped out of the kitchen and headed for the exit, humming to herself innocently.
Aurora paid close attention as Ferra told her story, taking in every word. In some small way, she wished that she'd had the opportunity to grow up around other people. She was socially stunted, and wondered how her life might have gone if she'd grown up with her mother or father's family. But she well knew that never would have worked. Her parents had made it clear that neither side would accept her, and it was extremely dangerous to make her existence known to either parent race. "I don't think you would have much enjoyed living here all alone, even with a wolf for company. It was quiet, but really lonely. I use to wonder a lot what it would be like growing up with actual family. I guess I'll never know. But in the meantime, you have a home here for as long as you want it." She wondered for a moment what Ferra meant by 'aura', but she didn't ask.

Sasha was all right with that he laid down and curled up. He had an eye on the water but other than that he left the hatchling alone to sulk. Surely he will come to his senses and stop acting like a child. And if not he was a patience dragon. He could wait.
And as luck would have it, the dragon was something with no life.
The nymph reappeared and immediately gave the most displeased of chirps. "Why are you here?" He sounded to be at the end of his rope. |

Mako whistled as he makes his way down a empty hallway. He wondered what the castle looked like in its prime. He always thought living in a castle was pretty epic. Heck being royalty sounded good to him. To be adored by all and to have servents doing whatever you say, sounded like the perfect life to him.

(You can just make another character, if you want. You don't have to make the form right away. That character, as well as Mako, could both interact with each other and my character, if you want. I try really hard to make sure that everybody has someone to RP with. I've got four characters, and may eventually add more as the role-play progresses.)

(Sasha has no life tis true)
"Because I'm hurt and I do not feel like changing again. It wastes energy that I do not have. So you are stuck with me Shafer." He told the boy as he opened one eye and looked at him. "I am not going to bother you with questions that your child mind can not handle."
(Also he can be sassy)
