Roads of Fate -> Looking for players!!!

[Maeve]

Introduction:

The world is strange sometimes. You think everything is under control and, suddenly, something happens. Your life takes another path, one that you couldn't even have imagined before. But what can you do anyway? Try to adapt as best as you can, hang on and wish things will get better soon.

Plus, there are some things you know won't change. Giant winged rabbits with horns won't appear in your neighbourhood and ruin everything during the night. You won't wake up lost in the desert without knowing how you get there. It's all just minor changes, right? Or at least you thought so...

Little Note:

The base of this role-play is that the setting will randomly change from time to time, with just a little explanation about what happened. When the change happens, all characters are taken to the new setting. Your characters' goals can be multiple though, from understanding what happen to getting back to their original world or finding something interesting and valuable objects along the way. I'll let a small description of the current setting below, so you can always know where we are.

Current setting:

Downtown: This is the heart of the city. Its paved roads bordered with trees and flowers, old houses and small cafés create a relax atmosphere that tourist and residents alike seem to enjoy. The center of the downtown area is a large park located on the side of the river. It is were most of the outside events are held, with a large central place made of the same paved stones as the roads around. Large trees with benches and picnic tables complete the picture. Artists and teenagers love to hang out in the park and cafés and can often be found wandering around in group.

Races: Humans and all common animals.

Description: Hubert looks like your average guy. He stands at 5'8" and has a slender build. He has short black hair with some bangs and deep blue eyes, most of the time partially hidden by a pair of glasses. He wears is uniform almost all the time, even when he isn't at school, because he thinks having clean cloths on makes on a good impression on other people. The uniform consists of a white shirt and a deep blue tie, often with a black blazer or sleeveless knit shirt over it, for the top and a pair of straight black pants with white socks and shiny black leather shoes for the bottom. Hubert can often be seen carrying a pile of books or, more rarely, some gardening tools.
Hubert could easily be qualified as a bookworm and a nerd. He is intelligent and studious, but don't get along too well with people. He doesn't love loud crowd and noises and will most likely isolated himself from those. He doesn't mind being with a few people though. However, since he spends so much time alone or with his dog, he has forgotten a bit how to act with other human beings. And since he is perfectionist and doesn't love to look stupid, he will often prefer not to approach others rather than doing it and looking awkward. He can often look cold, but it's just a look. He can be quite friendly with people he likes.
Biography: Hubert grew up as the only child of a local wealthy family. Both of his parents were working a lot, and Hubert ended up spending most of is childhood alone or with his dog. His parents hired a personal teacher for him when he was 4, and Hubert started to study really hard, thinking that if he had good grades, maybe his parents would be pleased and spend more time with him. After a while, it became an habit though, and the little Hubert started to study more and more to forget he had no life. When he reached the age of 12, his parents though it would be a good idea to send him to a private school, so he could meet other kids and maybe make some friends. It didn't go that well though, as Hubert as no real social skills. Instead, he chose to spend his time at the school's library and study even more.

She wonders why she has hazel eyes because all the other blondes she sees (at least on TV) have blue or green eyes. She usually wears short dresses or shirt and jeans, both ways she always looks very rich and posh. She has an air of authority about her, which people think she got from her multimillion dollar rich father.
Dania likes being the one who's in control when she's around her friends. They admire her (at least she thinks so) and like to hang around her. It hasn't occured to her that they might only be with her because she's rich. She enjoys fliting around boys. She always manages to get in trouble with the teachers, but somehow she always passes. She has hardly picked up a book in her life other than in school, even with the immense library in her mansion.
Biography: One of her past boyfriends, Tim, was a bit wrong in the head almost killed her by shooting at her with his gun. She was lucky that he missed most of the shots and only hit her once in the shoulder. She doesn't talk about it, and pretends it never happened, but his face still taunts her nghtmares.

Hubert woke up in his room at his parents house, Colleen laying at his side. The boy stood up and stretched, then went to pull the curtains covering the large windows of his room. It was Saturday and he didn't have much to do, so he didn't need to press himself. He went to his wardrobe and picked clothes that looked appropriate for this time of year: a white shirt with a blue tie, a pair of black pants, thick white wool socks, a pair of black shoes, a deep blue wool blazer and an assorted scarf. He then headed for the bathroom attached to his bedroom, took a short shower and dressed up. He then returned to his room and took his watch, bag and Colleen's leash laying on his desk.

"Come one Colleen," he called while heading for the door. The dog immediately got up and jumped close to her master, having been awaken for a while but waiting for his order to decide what to do. Hubert passed the leash around her neck, gently ruffling her fur at the same time. "It's only nine, so the park should still be quiet," he said with a smile as he walked through the door, closing it behind him. He then headed for the kitchen and grabbed the lunch bag he had asked the chief to prepare him yesterday, placing it into his bag. He then exited the mansion and headed downtown.

The air was still a bit cold, but the morning sun added a little warm. Most of the trees had lost their leaves by now, but the landscape was still nice. Some little birds were singing, apparently happy that the weather was good for them this fall. Hubert walked at a good pace, lost in his mind, with Colleen following at his side. They reached the large park in the centre of the downtown area about 20 minutes after leaving home. Hubert immediately headed down a familiar path to a large group of pines with a couple of benches and tables placed under it. It would make a good resting place, the trees blocking the wind and the sun warming them up.

At this hour, the park was still deserted, so Hubert chose his favourite table, the one closest to the river, and sat down. Colleen walked around and then chose to lay down beside her master's feet. The boy opened his bag and took out the lunch box, opening it and grabbing an apple for him and a special pack of Colleen's favourite food for her. He opened the small bag and placed its content on a napkin, placing it in front of the dog. He then threw the empty pack back into his bag and grabbed his physics book, starting to read it while eating his apple.

Dania yawned widely. She slowly opened her eyes, and winced slightly as the sun shined into them through the window with heart-patterned curtains. She let out a small groan as she lifted her head off her pillow, and sat up. She slipper her feet into her silk slippers and walked down to the living-room, where hot cocoa was usually waiting for her. There was none today.
'Why, Dania, you're never up this early!' exclaimed the cook, Mary. 'It's only nine o' clock. I'll get you a cup of cocoa right now.'
Dania smiled. No wonder the sun was so low. Once she had finished her cocoa, she ran back up to her room and got changed into a mini skirt and top. For some reason, she felt like going to the park. So she went out the front door, and walked up the steps.
Once at the park, she spotted a boy and walked up near him, putting on a smile. 'Is this seat taken?' she said, sitting down next to him.

[Maeve]

Hubert looked up at the girl. He was so absorbed by his study that he had not heard her approached and was a little surprise by the sudden appearance. He looked around him for a second, wondering if the girl was really talking to him. It was somewhat unusual for him, having someone his age talking to him. And it felt even weirder considering they were alone or almost in the park and the girl could have easily picked another spot.

Hubert looked back at the girl, a sheepish smile on his face, and said: "No, this seat is free," as nicely as he could. Looking at the girl, he was pretty sure he had saw her before somewhere, at school probably, but it wasn't one of the few friends, if you could call them like that. "My name is Hubert," he added, not really sure of what to say, but figuring it would be a good start to introduce himself.

Colleen gently moved closer to her master, looking at the newcomer. Noticing the girl wasn't apparently doing anything wrong to her master, the dog laid back to sleep, still keeping her ears alert in case something happened.

[killerkitty]

'I'm Dania,' she replied, 'What a cute dog.' She reached over to pet the dog's long white fur. Then she looked back up at Hubert. 'Isn't it a bit boring to study on a Saturday?' she asked, glancing down at his book. She wondered why he'd do such a thing.

((edit: =o I made your spider pet evolve ♥))

[Maeve]

((Thanks! ^^))

Colleen gently lifted her head as the girl reached to pet her. She wasn't used to that, but having someone taking care of her was certainly an interesting thing. She then returned to her nap as the girl started to talk with her master.

Hubert blushed a little, interiorly at least. "Uh, maybe," he said, looking at the book like if it was going to give him an answer. He shook his head a little, before adding: "I don't really have the choice. I have exams to prepare." Though, in his mind, he was mostly wondering what he would do if he wasn't studying. Hanging out with friends? That was unlikely to happen any time soon.

"Do you have anything to propose?" he said after a short pause, wondering what the girl could be planning to do on a Saturday.

[killerkitty]

Dania shrugged. 'Go to the cinema? Anyway, see you later.' She waved goodbye, and walked away. She found that boy rather boring.
She let her feet take her anywhere, and before she realized it, she had ended up in front of a small shop. She cautiously opened the door, and what was inside took her breath. On all walls there were paintings of all sorts: abstract, portraits, surrealism, etc. 'W-wow,' she murmured.
'Hello, how may I help you?' asked a woman behind a counter. She had dark frizzy hair that seemed to go everywhere, and she was covered in paint splodges. 'D-did you do these?' asked Dania nervously. The woman replied, 'Only the portraits. Say, you've got a fair face. Mind if I paint it?' Dania nodded.
The woman scuttled behind a curtain, and she followed. The room was filled with paint brushes, canvases, easels and tubes of paint (mainly acrylic and oil paints). The woman beamed. 'Sit there,' she instructed.

[Maeve]

Hubert was a little surprise to see the girl go away so quickly, but then again, that was how it usually ended when he talked to someone. He managed to wave at Dania, and looked at her as she walked away. He then shook his head. Why would it have been different this time? He just wasn't someone fun to be with.

He shook his head again, this time chasing those thoughts from his mind. He had more important things to concentrate on right now. Hubert brought his book closer to him and turned the page, reading through the first paragraphs of the new topic, then he took out a notebook from his bag, along with a pencil, and started writing down some complex equations.

The park was getting busier now, as more and more people arrived to enjoy a beautiful day. Hubert lifted his head from his book, blinking a couple time to clear his vision. He then look at his watch. It was already close to 11 o'clock. Time passes so quickly, the boy thought as he looked through the pages of his notebook, checking how much of the important topics he had managed to cover. Almost everything, he realized with a smile. I should be done in an hour or so. He replaced everything in front of him and pursued his writing.
