An actual rp! - An open rp for the actual rpers...

[Roll]

[ooc] ...Razz, even though you're barely ever on anymore, and even though people have finally stopped trying to keep the story up, I'll try to make your smallest wish come true...

Also, the rest of you, if this story just burdens you, or you just want to leave, just say so. That way, I know who to include in future posts, and who supposedly "died" or something.[/ooc]

The village of the Werewolves is famous for its ability to never be found. In fact, because it is never found, it's really infamous. This does not include, however, the many legends and stories about the village, which are theoretically impossible to be true. However, as these are legends, and legends are usually based on truths, people believe them and go on searching. Yet, no matter how many legends are made up, they never mention that you cannot find the village without a guide, as everyone who has no ideal conciousness of something needs to be guided in the direction of it. The werewolves are an exception to that rule, because they were the ones that actually found that specific spot, and settled down in it. All in all, the village is famous for being infamously famous without the knowledge of it being famous. That's a story for later times, though, and we shall now get back to the original story.

It was total chaos in the village, as just a little bit ago, the village elder was found to be dead, and most likely murdered. However, some of the villagers were searching around the bushes, and in the village, ready to kill the murderers if they ever found them. Unfortunately for them, Mizuki wasn't prepared to die before saying goodbye to her friends at least, and the thought that they had no one that could cook meals for them (not well, at least)also made her move on. She had to crawl to remain unseen, and even hid in some bushes. Fang was doing extremely well as far as the movement went, but he occasionally had to stop and wait for Mizuki since she wasn't going really fast. Mizuki was crawling slowly through a bush, when Fang signaled for her to hide in it. She did so, but as she hid in the bush, it rustled, and she did the one thing she rarely ever did.
She began to sweat. She heard the sounds of footsteps nearby her, and apparantly they were only coming more and more near to her. She looked to see if she could see the owner of the sounds, and saw a furry tail swinging behind some moving legs. She saw the legs move closer, and then she saw it stop. She heard the being move his arms into the bush a little, and Mizuki closed her eyes in fear. However long she kept her eyes closed, however, was the amount of time it took for Fang to get up and run away very fast, which got the person to go after him. Mizuki cautiously crawled out of the bush, and since she was alone, she decided to move on to the temples like she was supposed to.

The rest of the path to the temple was fairly calm and unnoticed, and at one point Mizuki decided that she could now run without being noticed. As soon as she was about 3 miles away from the village, Mizuki began to see the temples. There was no way to distinguish them, as there were no markings or signs of anything to indicate the owner, but there was something new that she just noticed. Each of the temples were connected in a sort of square thing, but they all also connected to the one in the middle. Mizuki went forward to inspect the temples to find some way in. She looked around the first one she came to, which she called temple #1, but had no luck. The only thing she was able to see were some strange markings on the side but they were made of blood, so it might have just been from someone being tortured. After thinking this, Mizuki shuddered and quickly moved on to the next one. She stopped in front of it, bent down and picked up a rock, and wrote the number "2" on it quite large enough to see from 200 meters away. Satisfied with it, she kept the rock so she could mark the next temples, and then she moved along it's side while trying to find a way in. Unfortunately, there was nothing to be found except for a crack in the walls which was just from aging.

Of course, it's not needed to say, that Mizuki got bored with that temple and moved on to write a giant "3" on the next one, which then began her next search. Strangely enough, though, Mizuki noticed that it was directly on the path to the village, and the village could probably see her if they could see better than a hawk. She moved out and looked around the third temple, only to find out that there was something written on it. Mizuki had problems distinguishing it, bt she managed to understand it. Upon reading it, though, if there was anyone looking at her, they would have noticed that her eyes glazed over intently while reading it. Sadly, as Mizuki read it, she found out that the only way to enter into this temple was to jump into it after stepping on the stones in front of it in the right order. Since no order was given, let alone which rocks, Mizuki just moved onto the next one and marked a giant "4". To Mizuki's surprise, this one had a door. She just thought that the owner was either very sure of himself, or very stupid, and that both applied to any of the mages. Mizuki tried to open the door, but it couldn't be moved, and didn't even budge when she tried magic. She tried pushing the sides, and pushing the bottom, and even kicking it, but there was nothing that could be done. She sat down and leaned against the door, and closed her eyes to think. She was thinking so hard, though, that she didn't even noticed that Fang had appeared next to her, and began thinking as well. Then he spoke.

Fang: "So, what kept you?"
Mizuki: "Oh, I was just trying not to be seen. I mean, I wouldn't like to die before I stop the mages, right?"
Fang: "I guess."
Mizuki: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Fang: "Nothing, nevermind. All I know, is that this is the only temple with a noticable entrance, and we need to open it somehow."
Mizuki: "Well, I already tried everything as far as pushing goes.."
Fang: "Me too, but there has to be a way, right?"
Mizuki: "Of course. If the dingbat that made this door can open it, then I think we can too."
Fang: *stands up* "Well, why don't we try pulling it?"
Mizuki: "Alright, but how do we pull on it?"
Fang: "I was hoping you would have a suggestion as to how we do that."
Mizuki: "I see.... but I don't know of any ways we can do that, at least not without something to pull on."
Fang: "You're right.."
Mizuki: "Goodness, I love hearing that.."
Fang: "But what should we do? We can't sit out here forever. If the mages find us, then it's all over you know."
Mizuki: "Well, duh. But what do you propose we do?"
Fang: *leans with one arm against the door* "Well, we ca-- WOAH!"

At the precise moment that Fang put his hand on the door to lean on it, Mizuki fell backwards, and Fang stumbled to his side. He helped Mizuki up, who dusted off her clothes. After dusting herself off, Mizuki felt inclined to ask if Fang was ok, but couldn't, because she saw he was ok, and he already beat her to the question. They both looked around outside to see if someone was nearby, but saw no one, so they entered. It was really dark, and Mizuki could barely see where she was going. They were walking down a corridor, which apparantly led to a room, because there was another door. This one, however, had a knob, and Mizuki applied the theory (after trying several other things) that if she turned the knob while pushing or pulling the door, it would open. It was successful, and Mizuki opened the door to a room filled with light. Fang and Mizuki entered, and the first thing their eyes saw was the coffin sitting in front of them.
The next 42,000 things they saw were also coffins...

High up and in the sky
I'm strong and so cold
As I stand alone
Goodbye, So long, Adieu..." - Excerpt from "Adieu" (the song in my sig)
