Strange Horizons

#1

((Hey guys. We are going to try something new. Me, Jent, Swix, and CP started this in chat, but we decided that to make it work it needed to be a posted RP.

I'm not actually going to play a character, but will be playing a whole building. This will be based on the FC Minecraft Server's encampment world, as well as my new base. I will be provide details of the environment, actions done by NPC's within the building, etc, as well as pictures when appropriate. In essence, I will be the DM (for those familiar with D&D). I will be denoting my part in Italics to help keep in clear in the RP.

This is set immediate after the events in "Reality Rebellion", and is the case with any great RP, it starts in the "Horn and Halo" Tavern.))

*It was a time of great confusion, and worry. PAX was back to normal, but so, so many were lost. One of the few places of stability, the Horn and Halo Tavern, was restored to working order rather quickly. In this time of mourning, when so much was unstable, it appeared the Encampment has put a priority on getting this little bit of normalcy back.*

*And today appeared to be no exception. It was a solemn group, but it was no doubt a full house.*

((And thus, I await the actors to enter the stage))

Swix walked out of the room that served as CPs living quarters, after having finished their little chat. The Split humanoid was wearing the black dress with the white trim, and the white tear patterns where once there had been an actual tear. "Well?" she said, looking sideways behind her "Are you coming or not?"

Jent · #3

"Who are you talking to?"

Announced by someone lounging in the inn, sitting with a more casual style compared to Swix. Faded denim jeans battered by the rowdy elements followed the miss-matched patchwork of a shirt the man wore. Clearly not in the best mind for caring for looks. "I imagine that simulacrum I gave you didn't prove any trouble in the long run," Jent inquired.

#4

"Maybe someone, maybe noone" Swix answered, shrugging "It really depends on him. Oh, hi Jent" she said, noticing who it was that had spoken to her when she looked back around "The simulacrum you gave me hasn't been any trouble, no. My thanks for that. It helped a lot after the nightmares"

#5

"Fine." CP said from within the room, leaping out of the darkness to sit atop Swix's head. He scrambled into a comfortable position, pushing her hair into her eyes, then waited for the adventure to begin.

"You have a terrible way of talking me into things..."

#6

"Ugh" Swix said, pushing her always messy hair out of her eyes, irritated "I can't believe I agreed to let you stay up there" The Split humanoid rolled her shoulders and sighed "I had to talk you out... So, Jent, we're going to go and investigate what's down that new path. You wanna join us?"

Jent · #7

Surprised that Swix put up with the electric rodent using her head as a perch, promptly agreed to the offer. "Sure, I'm in the mood for a good stroll," Jent beamed happily. After that Halloween fiasco, he needed some time to straighten out his legs.

#8

"Excellent" Swix said, and started walking down the stairs so she could get out of the tavern and start on the way to the mystery path. Any company right now would be welcome, especially when they were planning on walking right out in the open. "So how did being a scarecrow suit you?"

#9

((I will be using a copy of the server map I download to my computer to do creative experimentation on. SO if you see something in pics like me adding a ton of armor stands, I will have done this singleplayer, and your build on the server is safe

))

*as the group heads downstairs, they are met by a rather large and rowdy group. The barkeep is doing the best they can to keep up, but at some point there is just too many patrons*

((Please use your imaginations. I could have grabbed random people for the player heads, but yeah....))

Jent · #10

"Very eerie, I still have the felling straw is just under my sleeves," Jent said, perturbed by the sudden change in atmosphere. Even now, his sense of security was not particularly comfortable by the the people currently occupying the Inn, disturbed by the thick clout of some of their boisterous body odor. Let's hope none follow us, Jent thought as he tried to move throw the crowd, heading towards the door.

Laur · #11

Without the confines of the crowded establishment of Pax there arose an electrical noise reminiscent of the sound of a plug socket failing after being exposed to water, it rapidly ascended into a crescendo of sound as a bright tear in the dimension struggled to dispose of its cargo.

The adult mutant previously incarcerated within fell through the tear onto the earthy ground and abruptly turned her attention back to the rip, fixing bright blue eyes upon the hole in anxious anticipation for what might follow. What she feared did not come to pass as the tear ceased to exist, and the once reluctant mutant known as Laur brushed a strand of errant dark brown hair back over her shoulder.

Laur arose from her landing, taking the brief reprieve to stretch languidly. It had been a while since she'd felt something as mundane as a gentle breeze. The atmosphere itself felt sweet. The woman took a moment purely to savor the sensation of the environment, life encompassing every area surrounding her exploding in her mind.

Laur turned her attention towards the Horn and Halo, company was desired after the magnificent isolation she'd suffered, but a it was mayhaps a bit too crowded.

A stroll through the second home she had been absent from for so long is what was required, the once reluctant mutant decided. She turned to follow the path.

#12

"You agreed to let me stay up here? I just hopped on thinking it would be easier than walking." CP offers a smile but his heart isn't really in it. Instead he looks to the people around the bar and seems to grow rapidly uncomfortable by their presence. Crowds no longer seemed to be his cup of tea, and he reflexively buries himself in Swix's hair.

"Can we not bring up Halloween? That wasn't exactly great memories for all..."

#13

"Fair enough" Swix said to Jent, then grimaced when both CP buried himself in her hair and she caught sight of the crowd "Oh come on, Halloween wasn't that bad" she commented, before joining Jent in attempting to push through the crowd.

Jent · #14

"Says you," he said in a huff. The three of them managed to break through the stuffy establishment, all feeling relieved to be back outdoors. Jent, scanning the road, noticed another traveling down the same path. Not recognizable to him, he ignored the worry and pressed on to the road.

#15

"Yep, I'm pretty sure that that definitely was me speaking then" Swix told Jent, a bit sarcastically after they moved outside "None of us could have known about that old woman, it's not my fault you two picked something that couldn't move to dress up as" She frowned at the unfamiliar figure, and simply followed after Jent.
