Plot post 1: [u][i]The Disappearance[/i][/u]
*It was early morning in the Dojo, about six am. The air was cool and humid, and the sky was cloudy. The grass was covered in morning dew. A few crickets were still chirping but they were drowned out by the calls which started echoing through the Dojo. It was a familiar male voice with a thick Sphirinian accent.. Vorim'Tairn walks through the Dojo, calling out for Sketch.*
[u][b]Skeeeeeetch!!! Wheerrree arrre yooouuu!?!?!? SKEEEEEEEEEEEETCH!!!!![/b][/u]
*He reaches the cardboard box that sits right next to the inside of the entrance and starts banging on the front.*
[u][b]Sapphire come out![/b][/u]
*Sapphire walks out, still wearing her pajamas and yawning. She sounds extremely annoyed as she speaks and swishes her tail impatiently.*
[u]Vorim, I'm tryna sleep. What's the matter?[/u]
[u][b]I can't find Sketch![/b][/u]
[u]What do you mean you can't find Sketch? He's probably off with Leyla or something.[/u]
[u][b]It's Monday. We always stay up on Sunday nights and watch the Dojo together... We're brothers, it's our thing.[/b][/u]
[u]It's Monday? I thought it was Friday...[/u]
[u][b]That's not the point. He never misses it, not even for Leyla.[/b][/u]
[u]You're getting too worked up about this. You already follow him around half the time because you can't just walk up to people and start conversations on your own. I don't believe that it really scares you that much to-[/u]
[u][b]SHUT UP![/b][/u]
*Vorim looks like he's about to cry.*
[u][b]Just help me look for him!!![/b][/u]
[u]Okay, okay. Calm down. Just let me change my clothes.[/u]
*She goes back into the box, slamming the door. He just stands there, looking around with an extremely distressed expression on his face.*
[spoiler]Open![/spoiler]

[u]Anri, are you even listening?[/u] *Sapphire is looking at her now.*
-
"Yeah. I am." [i]Looking up, Anri simply sighed, shaking her head slowly.[/i]
-
[u]And??? No opinion?[/u]
-
"Well...you're not wrong, that's for sure."
-
[spoiler]No!!! She's treating Vorim horribly!!! Objection![/spoiler] [u]Thank you. Frankly, if he doesn't act his age and fast I think he should leave the-[/u] [u][b]G-Guys.[/b][/u] *Vorim is standing there, still sniffling.* [u][b]There's sh-sh-shouting coming from th-the village.[/b][/u]
-
[spoiler]Muhahaha![/spoiler] [i]Looking over at him, Anri only sighed towards Vorim, suddenly looking towards the village.[/i] "So maybe Sketch, then? We need to get going. Now."
-
[u]Oh, Vorim. How long were yo-[/u] *She stops talking when Vorim turns around silently and starts making his way towards the village, not even acknowledging her. Sapphire facepalms.* *Muttering [u]First upset about Sketch, now he's upset with me. Way to focus on the task at hand Vorim.[/u] *She follows, staying about twenty feet behind.*

Edited by Orn: 9/16/2016 10:59:49 AM[i]Anri followed as well, walking rather close to Vorim. Yes, she agreed with Sapphire in a way, but Anri simply thought that he needed someone to actually talk to. She remembered being similar to this. Always following around Patches before he eventually got too stressed out. She didn't want Vorim to turn out like her.[/i]
-
*Vorim notices her walking closer to him, but just chooses to not pay attention. The shouting coming from the village can now be heard my Anri too as they get closer.*
-
"Well, that's just grand..." [i]She walked beside Vorim, going silent as the three began to approach the village. Anri was actually somewhat nervous, to tell the truth.[/i]
-
*The shouting seems to sound different as you get closer. It's more like screams of terror than shouting.* [u][b]N-No... No no no no...[/b][/u] *Vorim breaks into a jog and then into a run.*
-
[i]Anri kept moving, silently drawing her coiled blade as she still went onwards into the village. She had to find out what was going on...and fast.[/i]
-
*Vorim and Sapphire get down to a building and look around the corner. They both gasp in unison.* [u][b]O-Oh my god![/b][/u]
-
"What?!" [i]Anri simply followed them, looking down at the scene and expecting the worst. She expected somebody to be dead, really.[/i]
-
*People line the streets, parents are forcing their children back into their houses. They are all watching Sketch being dragged up the street, unconscious. But what's dragging him is even scarier and more disturbing. A black figure, seemingly made of some pitch black liquid is dragging him. Its whole body is rippling and sections of it seem to remove themselves, hover in one place and then reattach in the same place. A grey aura surrounds it and tiny droplets of the black liquid float upwards off of it and disappear.* [u][b]THAT THING HAS SKETCH!!![/b][/u] *Sapphire was frozen in disbelief.*
-
"...What the hell?! No!" [i]Leaping down onto the street, Anri began to slowly approach, waving the coiled sword out to her side. Red flames had begun to surround her body suddenly.[/i]
-
*It turns around showing two circular glowing white eyes on rippling black liquid. Suddenly the front of his head starts turning grey and William's face appears.* *William "Oh, you? Ha! I should kill you now and have you go crazy! That'll make Wolfy upset when he wakes up!" *William lifts Sketch up by the collar, shaking him a little. Vorim and Sapphire follow Anri, Vorim's eyes turning blue then yellow.*
-
[i]Silently approaching, lightning had begun to form within Anri's left hand. An aura of heat was surrounding her body, and the area had begun to heat up ridiculously.[/i]
-
*Vorim and Sapphire stay back, realizing that it's getting really hot and their fur certainly isn't helping.* *William "What? Are you trying to cook me? I wouldn't do that because Wolfy's here too!"
-
[i]Anri simply ignored him, still silently approaching. In truth, she was just really pissed at the moment, she just wanted to kill William.[/i]
-
*William "Meh, fine. Kill Wolfy too then."
-
[i]Stopping suddenly, Anri simply slammed the sword into the ground, the blade magnifying into a 6'3 foot long flaming greatsword as she tore it from the ground.[/i] [b]"This'll be quick."[/b] [i]She began approaching slowly once more, going silent as she did so.[/i]
-
*William starts approaching as well, his other arm extending into a long, jagged spike.*
-
[i]Shaking her head simply, Anri raised the greatsword, waiting for William to attack, Something said that actually wanted him to attack.[/i]
-
*He suddenly lunges, swinging Sketch at her as he was a weapon.*
