( featherleg Finished reading everything I think, it was a lot to take in but I'm sooooo excited to see it all. I've missed this rp a lot while I was gone, and I totally get what you mean when you say the characters aren't being developed as they should, and that's probably mostly my fault, with handling Dalton and all. I know I can't make up for time gone by, but I have recently rearranged my schedule- things are still hectic but I believe I can make it on a few times a day in between classes or at night after rehearsals. I'd definitely love to progress this story more.) ( mintedstar/fur That's awesome, I'm so happy for you! ^^) ( Misty Haha, yeah, that's always a good thing, it's freezing over here XD)

Rowling slowly nodded. Mom, and dad...... I missed quite a bit apparently he slowly made his way into the house, reviving his original confident smile. "Thank you very well much, my good sir." He slowly shifted his feet farther back within the hall. "Ah, okay!" He awknowledged, " So it's going to be a full house, after all. " he nodddd. He leaned out to see down the hall. "I appreciate the rather detailed directions. It will help me make my way, and avoid getting lost." He stated with an enthusiastic tone. Derrick tapped his cheek lightly, "Starting at a hotspot is always a great way to go. It assures you a lead, or drives you in circkes. But anyways-the fact far th started where they did was a risky one, not for themselves but the individuals they sent for their intentions. But we seem to have some it comcepts. We have names, backgrounds, location, but lack direct intention....." His voice fell silent . "Revenge, ambtion, obsession, and curiosity." He some softly. "the most common reasons to act under." shaking his head he let out a light sigh. "Don't worry, we'll come to a solution." "Come on Celestia it's clear that she needs it. I understand that the immortal part isn't exactly imortal, but I'm certain for certain that I can handle it." Derrick assured. heading about the promise he found himself at a half smile, overwritten by an expression of concern. "Say she does reveal herself, I think you would rather have her remain rational then irrational , rignt?" He tried to reason. " So please-do it me do it. " he begged celestia. The shift in attention, was a rapid one. Derrick made his way for the window, and slightly pulled back the edge of the curtain to get a small look outside. "Cekestia could it be one of your students perhaps? Someone from the courts, or someone we invited but completely forgot about?" He tried to reason with himself . With team kids im the house, whatever was nearby was a danger to the kids. But at the same for he didn't want to go around jumping over every little thing. featherleg

(And she's back!) Auransky and featherlegNow, how many years is this going to take off my life, wondered Tom. He was trying to climb up the drainpipe, like they do in movies. Clearly, this was something only possible in the movies. But he'd made it to the second floor at least. The logic was, that he'd probably find information there. Rowlin was still on the bottom floor, so the hope was that everyone else was as well. He stepped onto a window ledge, balancing dangerously. He'd at least looked in the window before trying this. The room was currently unoccupied and appeared to be bedroom. Wasn't that where people usually kept records of, say, visiting vampires? Tom honestly had no idea what he was doing. Mostly, he was moving. Staying still meant he had time to talk himself out of this dumb idea. Remember what happened forty years ago? said the sane part of his head. Tom shrugged, placed his hands on the frame of the window, and using inhuman force pushed it up. Turns out, people don't usually need to lock upper story windows. At least, not in the day. The window flew up and hit the top of the wall with glass shattering force. Whoops...

featherleg "I can do respectful as long as no one tries to [peeve] me off," he said with a shrug. Hopefully no one would make him angry because he didn't want to start trouble with any of the Court members. "Maybe it's been a major factor for most vampires, but I haven't really give a damn about it. Never really wanted to get involved in all of it, but it looks like I have anyway. It's probably about to bite me in the [butt]." He let out a snort and rolled his eyes. "Guess it really is a shame that loyalties exist." "Incident?" Lucas asked, raising an eyebrow and turning his head to look at his sister. "I'm not sure I know exactly what you're referring to, and it sounds like something I should probably know about. Judging from what you said, whatever happened sounds pretty awful, but the Court's reaction to it doesn't seem quite fair." He let out a sigh as he pushed a hand through his hair. "Of course, what do I know about any of this," he mumbled as he turned his head to look out the window. "I'll do what I can about avoiding them, but I can't make any promises about that," he said louder. "But I'll try keep my mouth shut about being a Flamed Tongue. ...Say, why would they automatically assume I serve him? It seems like an unreasonable assumption." Misty Selena nodded as she kept her eyes on the road, but there was still a smile painted on her lips. "Just try to imagine they're speaking a language you can't understand and you'll be fine. Actually, some of them might be. I've tried avoiding it but from what I've learned it's impossible." She laughed with him while shaking her head. "It is. It always is." "Wait, you've never heard of the Swan's Fountain? Then you've never heard of either the Verinith or Cyra family then I suppose." Story time, my favorite. She thought as she pulled the car onto the main road and drove away from the main city of Embra. "Alright, so, sixty years ago or so there was this Magic Borne family named the Verinith's. They were an Arcane family that were the first family to live peacefully within Embra's borders. They were part of the Arcancis Chamber--Magic Borne version of the Court but more so just for Embra itself and a few cities surrounding it--as well as the Cyra family. Super close allies of them, Magic Borne family as well. Anyways, what's important to know is that the Verinith family had ties to vampiric families. Powerful vampiric families. They also loved to throw meetings and balls at their palace, the Swan's Fountain. One night, they had a vampiric family over--rumor has it it was a Blood Seeker family--and while they were meeting they were attacked by rogue vampire. There's enough evidence to prove that it was a Frozen Heart as the whole palace is now frozen. All of it. Even the outside is. Not only that, but whatever attacks those Blood Seekers attempted are frozen as well. Verinith family though? Gone. Missing. Poof. Now the palace is over run by underlings and a bunch of creepy stuff that probably came out of a nightmare. So yeah. Swan's Fountain. Continuously argued about and questioned. Fun stuff." At the mention of assumptions Selena glanced over towards him before looking back at the road. "You really avoid vampiric society huh? Okay, here's the thing--Dasco Val is the first and only Flamed Tongue to hold a seat in the Court. Ever. He also is the Crowned Eye of the Golden Orchestra, which is the famous cultural hub of vampires and Magic Borne. You'll probably hate him. Anyways, since he was assigned to those positions every Frozen Heart assumes that anyone who is Flamed Tongue is in his secret circle. It's dumb but that's what they think since most of his bodyguards are Flamed Tongues. He was a few Mind Reapers working for him but you barely see them. He won't be at the Court but his people will be."

Auransky mintedstar/fur "You're welcome?" He questioned as he scratched his head. "Yeah, our Uncle Urian and Aunt Leila are coming over as well. Wish Mom had told us so many people were coming over..."The last sentenced he muttered under his breath as he shoved his hands in his hoodie pocket, his dark brown eyes holding a look of confusion. "No problem. It's kind of a big house, I use to get lost in here when I was younger. Oh! Name's Kai by the way. I'll be down here, my older brother Damien is in the kitchen, and my little sister Viola is running around..somewhere." Viola was always the sneaking one. Most of her time was spent either studying or playing "stealth missions" on her brothers, that of which she was rather good at it. "That's the thing I'm afraid of. Calhoun and possibly Steele see them nothing more than pawns that they can just add to their ladder of 'success'. My team mates mean more than that to me, hence why I, we need to figure out what their goals are and what could possibly still be in the Swan's Fountain that has caught their eye. The VDA has known of it's existence for years, and this is the first time they've taken full interest in the palace by any means." For a moment she mulled over the reasoning he prompted to her. "Revenge. It has to be. At least it was when they sent the two there first." Biting her lower lip, her eyes shut as she shook her head. "You may be right. She'll get caught and won't be able to contain herself. The longer we wait, the more her lust and hunger will grow. But consider what will happen if she feeds on you now. Her senses will come back to a full extent. Fresh blood, human blood becomes even more attractive to them after feeding for a long time. At this point she's been on reserves, substitutes. Her vampiric senses are dull right now which allows her to be in such proximity to humans without panicking. We let her feed now and that advantage is gone." At this point her usual voice was back--strong, confident--her eyes meeting his. "It's your decision Derrick, but know the risks we all take with it." Both Aika and Celestia shook their heads in disagreement. "Dormant hearts only belong to vampires Derrick." Aika said bluntly. "Our heart beats are low enough to barely be noticed by myself, but they all beat enough within the hours that they can be heard." Upon the hearing of glass shattering, Aika's eyes widened. "Your children. Keep them downstairs. I'll take care of this, we'll discuss this later when I've dealt with this. Keep Rowlin within your sights, don't let him get involved." With that, she became a blur of red before disappearing, her form moving quickly towards the room that the sound came from.

Auransky and featherleg"I'm dead, I'mdead, imdead," muttered Tom. He only just saw the streak of red that was Aika before he tilted his center of gravity to his heals and tumbled backwards. Whether the 'I'm deads' were what would happen if they caught him or some type of reassurance for falling from a second story window he didn't have time to figure out. The largest problem was, he knew in the few milliseconds that he'd seen Aika that his fall would be no where close to fast enough. She'd grab him before his heals left the ledge. (Tom, why do you put yourself in these situations. XD ) (I have to go for now, but I'll explain what I think I figured out/what I want to happen when I get back.)

featherleg((HYPE HYPE HYPE I was replied too! xD This is like thee thing that keeps me role-playing intensely xD Not too many imortal vampire rp's in the forums as of recent. It upsets me. Q.Q )) Rowlin nodded at the mention of familiar names. "Ah that's fantastic!" He snapped his fingers. "It'll be one big happy family." He considered with enthusiasm at the thought. It'll be, right? We are considered a broken distant family right? At least that's how I been telling my students... "It's a pleasure to meet you Kai, I'm Rowlin. Or-Row works fine too as I been nicknamed by my students." He recalled. D.B's nickname is still better though...Seeing the boys confusion he couldn't help but kneel a bit to meet the boys gaze, "Small or large house, I will get lost, regardless. I was that one kid growing up who would get distracted by everything in his surroundings only to realize the whole group was gone. Field trips were interesting, still are-but everything is more urbanized out here too. I live in Europe's more smaller rural areas and visit the cities for work purposes. So the few times I go I'm hugging my GPS like a teddy bear." He admitted shyly. "Stealth huh?" He raised a curious brow. "Sounds like fun, reminds me of the time my friend and I toured this castle over the lake in Sweedon. We joined another friend's class as chaperones. We were lucky enough as a whole group to play mission impossible throughout the castle. We had tour guides with each individual group off course, but it was still a fun experience." "Well I guess I will head up-" He paused at the sound of the glass shattering. "On second thought, I think I will stay put. I think you should too." He pointed towards Kai then stood back up fully. "We should set up the table, don't you agree?" He smiled. Damien rushed down the hall from the kitchen in surprise. "D-Did you guys hear that?!" He asked, wanting to head up the stairs but the sight of Rowlin shifted his priorities. "More company?" He asked in a rather confused tone. "Are you a friend, family, student?" He now asked bluntly. This was completely odd. Rowlin laughed lightly, then snapped his fingers. "Tell ya what, let's set up the dinner table as your father expects, and then you can ask him yourself as to your deepest questions. He asked me to keep quiet on the matter, well like a surprise type thing." He considered now himself. Oh boy... improvising is fun..Damien raised a brow,"W-Well okay, but I'm gonna go check on Mom and Dad-" He stepped back seeing Rowlin shift his postition against the stairs. "And maybe the excitement of seeing Aunt Aikia was too much to bare!" He considered. "Nonetheless, we should trust them to be alright, and let them come down when all is well." He nodded at the thought. "Now come on, let's go to the kitchen." Rowlin lightly tapped the two boys. Before I drag you two..."It's upsetting when using power like a game of sorts. Send those below you and if they live, die or end up with some bizzare result, you simply move onto the next group until you finally hit success. Like a video game with infinite lives. You simply reset, in this case more employees." Derrick compared, while sharing his thoughts. "Revenge..." Derrick repeated softly. "Considering the history between the ones involved it's most likely the possibility. But overtime it overlaps with ambitions. What better way of obtaining something then ridding of the ones you despise, right?" He nodded slowly at the thought. "Despite my crazy role of ideas, we may need to pay a visit ourselves. We wont know a thing unless we set in and get a direct look. Dangerous yes, reckless sure, but... if they saw something we just need to snoop around until we see exactly what they saw." "I-I understand all the risks that come with it. But-there's also the possibility of I dunno, doing a blood transfusion and setting it in a bag for a few days. With a little bit of chemistry we can speed up the aging process and have it as a reserve?" He raised a brow at the thought. He was obviously picking straws now, but just doing nothing was not on his agenda. "But I'm willing to take the risk of awakening her full senses once again. I mean two months... they'll come and go and we'll be probably up countless nights scurrying through the city to stalk people for leads. Assuming, Aika wants the help." His eyes rolled over towards Aika, with somewhat mischief. Derrick leaned back now, "By students I was referring to your unnatural users. Non-human's but I don't think you've been doing much teaching as of late right-scratch my comment pretend it never happened." He waved a hand dis guarding himself now. The sound of shattering caught his attention. The kids don't do those sorts of things... probably the extra guest Aika felt. He flinched, "Right the Children!" He nodded, seeing her go out quickly was still a shivering expereince. He was going to ask another question, but she answered it directly. Sidelines for the boy downstairs... and watching him? Okay.He looked over towards Celestia, "I guess I'll head downstairs." He placed a hand on the door. "I trust you and Aika to handle it this time?" He smiled a bit. "I'll just take the next shift." With that he headed out the door then quickly rushed down the stairs. Seeing Kai, Damian, and Rowlin he rushed down the stairs. "Boys why don't we prepare for dinner downstairs? K-Kai where's your sister?" He raised a brow keeping a calm front while thinking at the top of his head on where his little princess Viola was. "U-Um dad is everything Okay?" Damian raised a brow. "Yes, just a little over excitement, and we knocked something over. The girls are handling it." He assured. "Are you sure? I can go-" Damian stumbled back. "They can clean it up, besides they want to catch up on their girl talk. And you never want to mess in girl talk. They will eat you alive." He warned the boys sternly. "O-Okay so how about that kitchen." Damian blinked.

Auransky(Oh my goodness, I'm glad it is! Sorry if replies take a bit longer, I'm trying to go for the quality over quantity approach with my replies for as long as I can. Wait, really? I haven't checked out any other rps besides this one and the one Rose has but wow that's a bit crazy. I'm also not sure if other rp makers put as much lore as I do.....)

(Yeah, Shinining's right about there not being very many vampire roleplays. If there are any, they don't last very long and probably don't go beyond basic issues for vampires. Feather, you're right about them not putting as much into the lore as you do. Heck, I don't know how many roleplays have put as much effort into the lore as you have.)

featherleg(I don't mind waiting one bit! I think quantity is what keeps the excitement going. And part of what makes it very exciting to reply has more to do with the fact that I usually have to be up for work and school super early for my long commute. That means I can't stay up late or past 9pm Pst. my time usually. And sometimes I want to stay up all night to reply but that become a a hazard for me over time when driving the distance I do with hardly any rest. ) (So the hype builds up, and usually waking up in the morning like now. [7am ] I just check to see if you did reply of something. If not I just drag my tablet with me wherever I go and check every few hours for a surprise. Technically I'm moderating the forums, but as of recent most activity happens when I'm sleeping so... the others are handling it. ) (On the original forums there was another rp about vampires. Posts were required to be a certain long length to add depth. What made it so interesting is that posts literally took from 12 to 24 hours. Not so much about filling in life, but because where the role-players were literally located on a global scale.) (If I remember it was Australia, Canada, U.S, England, Germany, and new Zealand. ) (With that in mind it wasn't easy to all be on at the same time all the time. Not without someone sacrificing an all nighter. ) ( It was about a distant future when human war hit the point for vampires to rise and easily dominate the human race. As a result humans became, either rebels, or drudges. There was a court of five which ran all operations, and at the same time smaller courts for individual cities etc. There was an over arching plot but at.the same time smaller plots. ) (It was doing good, and between this and that one , really engaging.) ( Misty I sometimes want to fill in that void by creating a vampire based rp. Then the question would be , what will it be about and direction to take. There are other rp's that have vampires in them, but more as a minor extension rather then the main attraction. And it's cool, but even more of those are romance based. >.< )

(Heh, I just spent so much time reading you comments, Shining and Feather. Now I have to read the actual RP post. XD I haven't seen a vampire RP around in a long time. I've never seen a RP have as much lore as this one, at least not without being very inactive (do to nothing being left to the interpretation of the RPers) or very old (having made the history for later RPers as they've gone along and somehow made an interesting plot/s). So I'm very happy that this one is still going and that I'm starting to catch up, lore wise. Replying, or reading, now. )

(Tom is way over his hhad this time. ) (But I been thinking. Tom keeps !mentioning 40 years ago, coincidently big plot event happened forty years ago. What if....what if , Tom was helping Evaline with a scoop for her articles. Specifically a party happening at Swan Fountain. Tom agreed to help, not (exactly) because of kindness but more along the lines of adventure, recklessness, and trying to prove that he could get in there without being on the invited list.) (Just like he got in, he got out right before things got t to he current state. And if feather were to say okay, then maybe she could give your character some form of information tnat would be of value story wise. Like he saw something he shouldn't have and despite it happening he's not so sure of the importance . It would be considered more along the lines of bad luck.) (This is just a random thought,might as well find a way to connect the story right?)) mintedstar/fur
