The Thieves' Museum (Open) - :) Easy to join for new members

Rudy blinked, okay, the detective agreed to go along with his naive and possibly half potential of an option? He stood there briefly dumbfounded. He herd the other kid's answer, but he didn't seem to physically register it. At least until he flinched, a means to snap out of his own surfaced stupidity.

"Aright then, let's try this." Rudy mustered some words after his brief baffle. He took a step onto the platform inspecting the feet, then the wall aroud him. He stopped a few inches away from the footsteps, then knelt down. On the floor he ran a gentle hand along the ground. He ran his fingers around the footsteps, feeling the surface. He proceeded to duckwalk away from the foosteps, still running his fingers along the ground, to where the platform branches into the hall he was standing into previously. There appeared to be no difference in the ground.

With the possibility of a false surface debunked, shooting down his own curiosity, he proceeded to the wall itself. He ran a hand against the wall now, kneeling down to feel the wall touch the surface. He noticed that there wasn't a dent there, but initially he didn't think too much about it.

He stood up once again pulling out the chalk in his pocket. He wondered about where to draw. So with that in mind he scooted back and stood on the footprints which were naturally bigger then him. From there he took steps forward to get a poor center as to where the door should go. With that in mind he walked up to the wall, and started to draw from the left, starting from the floor and proceeding up high until he couldn't go higher on his toes, then he proceeded to make the round arch, coming downwards on his right. He finished the drawing, then stepped back.

Nothing happened.

Rudy blinked, crossing his arms. "Some doors in chalkzone have to be more specific.." He recalled a few other ocassions. "Depending where you are, or where you are aiming to land in." He approached the now drawn door, then hovered the chalk over the internal of the door, trying to picture where he should shade in.
At the same time he looked at the floor, took a step back then glanced at the footprints on the ground. "J-Just to be safe.." Rudy approached the wall, drawing where the ground started a line, all the way across the platform to where the hallway was. He then drew a parallel line, from the hall all the way to the wall. Next, he shaded in between the two lines, shading over the footsteps as well. From there he continued shading up the wall, using the non curbed floor, filling in the drawn door from a frontward perspective.

When the shading completed, Rudy took a step back.

Nothing happened.

Rudy was optimistic , but seeing nothing happen was a big defeat. He turned to see Conan about to apologize for even bringing it up, until his ears herd white noise coming from behind him. He turned quickly, seeing the area that was drawn on the wall slowly disappear, leading into an opening that revealed a hallway on the other side. The other side of the wall was brightly colored, similar to that of a particular light gradient animation.

Following soon after, the ground where the footprints were was starting to disappear, with the exception of the area that was sketched in, now becoming a bridge from the hall to the drawn door. To the side of the of drawn bridge, it was easily seen that down below was an endless abyss.

"O-Okay something happened." Rudy softly brought up in disbelief. He had never seen the chalk react outside of certain surfaces.

Replies coming soon!]]

Rudy blinked in disbelief to the sudden appearance of a new door. The other side of the doorway appeared more brightly , with neon colors and almost sketched-similar to a vibrant Seattle he'd seen on TV.

He turned his head , when Conan offered he go first. Initially , the detective was taking lead but now giving him then chance to lead was very sureal. He hesitated for a moment , before slowly dragging his feet forward. "Sure." He softly commented , pressing forward. He made his way past the doorway , and I'm the otherwise everything was neon , vibrant colorful-art style, sketched, all across the halls on both sides. The floor was also colored in, with occasionally sketched that would appear in the blacktop playgrounds by other kids.

Rudy walked on, cautious in what he stepped on but hearing no response , it seemed like everything was just drawings, images, sketches. "Is this what you meant by strange?" He asked , referring to the museum coming to life.

"This reminds me of an exhibit where they let everyone take part. Every style is different." He couldn't help but observe.

Rudy turned his head back, "kinda.." He softly replied. " i mean , chalkzone is similar, in terms of a drawn out wprld, but here. " he took another step , using the tip of his toe to brush the floor. It seemed like nothing out of the ordinary, compared to what he was expecting , the floor wasn't going to run off, thankfully.

"I'm not sure if they came this way. It just seemed like something possible , seeing as the other options were cleaned , in terms of direction. But , we have had a case of two where Someone wanders into chalkzone, and the trail stops at the entrance. SO it kinda brought a nostalgic feeling." He lightly chuckled

" but , there's no better way to figure out an answer, then by checking it out. "He encouraged. He tried to excite himself. There was no need to fret over the unknown. "Well, let's just see what we can get out of this, and there is nothing then we just turn around."

I am back now! but I am also sick now so replies will be here but probably tomorrow after I sleep xD]]

( XD Yes. Hello, poor sick Hime.)

Comfortable was half of it. While this reality, drawn up the world was similar to ChalkZone, it was vastly different. The artstyle-or in his case the world he was used to visiting was more lively and exagerated here. Furthermore, every step they took had a puddle like an effect, with pink paint splashing but not staining on their clothes.

"O-Oh Right!" Rudy flinched, as he proceeded walking through the hall. He had forgotten for a moment that they were still in the museum. Despite this area looking vastly different than the rest of the way. Good thing Conan brought that up. At the end of the hall, there was a wooden frame, with a map of the area or at least partial.

Rudy noticed the frame but was unable to tell what it was exactly. The only way to tell was to approach it. "If it's not a map, it's probably a bulletin board." He suggested. "But bulletin boards are just as helpful. They usually have notices, mentions, and announcements to the area around it. In this case, well here."

The wooden frame at the end of the hall was indeed a map. A map that marked where they were, in a bright rainbow dot. The hallway they had just walked down, was labeled the main path. Taking the right would continue the main path, then branch off into crystal showers. Whereas the trail on the left was called rocket trail. Along the rocket trail, there was three other paths that branched off from the rocket trail. The first one was ocean, the second one was jellybean farm, and the last one was 'X'd off with a large red marker.

A soft chuckle of embarrassment came from the count and he flashed a sheepish grin. "My answer for that question happens to be the same as my previous response: I do not know quite yet," he said. Saint-Germain crossed his arms and turned to face up ahead where the hallway turned. "I was intrigued by whoever left this note behind, and felt that I would like to pick his mind for any answers before making a final decision," he explained. 

(mintedstar/fur - Is it okay if I rejoin this?)

Welcome back!]]

"I would rather not," said Sally with a sigh. "The problem with the main part of the Museum is that it can kill you. And I would rather not have to almost die or get very hurt for curiosity just yet." She waved around at the collection of junk - or rather items - around them. "This probably is enough without having to worry about such things." Her tone was a bit dry.
She leaned forward, looking at the book and catching a glimpse of some of the writing. "Possibly." She didn't like how excited he sounded at the prospect. "Or maybe it's a cookbook from another world and you just can't read it because of that. Can you even do dark magic?"
She hoped the answer was no.

A map or a bulletin board? Conan found that suspiciously helpful. Too much so. He wasn't sure what to do about it after all this time. He was hesitant to approach. There had already been several taps before. What if this was one as well?
But he couldn't think that far. Instead, he followed after Rudy and hoped that things would be alright. Maybe, just maybe, Rudy was right and what the board said or showed would be helpful. And if it wasn't - if it was a trap - then it would be better if he was there to protect Rudy. Though he wasn't sure if he would be able to.
The map, for that was what Conan could see it was, wasn't as helpful as he had been hoping for. He looked at each title for the locations on the map and his lips parted as he tried to figure out what was going on.
"The X'd out part ... we need to go there," he said. He didn't look at Rudy when he said it. But it didn't leave room for much speculation.

I have Newt free, if you want to toss her at him. He can be wherever you want. ))

( WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! First real front page update and revamp in three years is now complete!

Auransky Kuragehime --cato phoenix broken <Raintalon> Protractor Redfleck Ver Million Sησω Lark
I believe you are all the current members and perspective members.

The most prominent updates can be caught up on just by reading that blurb on the front page! The group/single player feature was removed because it didn't factor largely into the RPing experience. I've had three years to figure that out. Trust me on this. Other than that, according to Sable - Sable's Life is now a 1 use 1 person deal. I don't want to reverse any current 124 pages of knowledge, so it's sufficient to say and I'll tell you all that Sable is lying and it can be used more than once. But I added this to add a bit of urgency and incentive for our characters.
How you incorporate these changes going forward is up to you! You can say the paper your character has with them has ALWAYS said this - or you can say that it only recently changed. It's up to you! What do you think would make a better story? We'll go with your choices. This is a RP that has and will continue to be shaped by all of you and what you want to do. )
