Scholastic Forums » You see a boy herding some giant crabs.

General Zura · 3/26/2020 9:40 pm

(First RP here, wooo)
He escorts the crabs through the fields, smiling all the while, and you wonder how he avoids getting trampled by the beasts. They're huge, way bigger than any crabs YOU'VE ever seen, and you blink several times, wondering if what you're seeing is legit.

You blink again.

The crabs are still there.

And there's something on the horizon.

The boy takes no notice of it, or maybe he doesn't see it in the first place. Either way, it's moving fast, and it's something big. Something bad.

North called out, guessing he should warn the lad, "Sir?! Be careful! Over there!"

North pointed at the thing in the horizon, squinting at it as he did so, trying to figure out what it was.

Lavender · 3/26/2020 10:57 pm

Lavender's eyes widened first at the giant crabs, and then at the thing in the horizon. She had no idea what was going on, and yet she felt kind of unnerved as well.

"Hey, dude!" She shouted to the boy, pointing to the thing in the horizon. "There's a thing over there! You should avoid it!"

((Sorry if my RPing skills aren't up to par. I'm kind of tired.))

Samurai blinked and squinted at the horizon. Now that he thought about it, he DID see something over there - it was very blurry, but it was a threatening kind of blurry, and there was only one thing to do.

His swords were drawn in an instant.

EchoDraws · 3/26/2020 11:11 pm

North, seeing the boy's reaction, summoned a sword from his arm, preparing himself to fight. He continued to squint, and his wings positioned in a way so that North could easily fly upwards if needed to.

General Zura · 3/26/2020 11:19 pm

"Go home," Samurai whispered to the giant crabs. "I can handle this."

The crabs scuttled away, veering towards the mountains to the north, and Samurai looked at North, or where he thought he might be.

"I can't see for crap," he said. "What's that blob over there?"

Lavender · 3/26/2020 11:20 pm

((Oof Lavender's there, too.))

EchoDraws · 3/26/2020 11:21 pm

"Give me a moment to let me see," North replied, taking flight. "It's quite far." He went closer to the ominous thing to see what it was.

Aaaah sorry! I'm half dead, oof.

"What about you?" Samurai asked Lavender. "Do you see anything?"

(@Whoever wants to describe it: It's an ominous-looking starship. Feel free to add stuff to the description! :3)

EchoDraws · 3/26/2020 11:40 pm

North's eyes went wide.

"Uuuhhhhh! It's a thing, a, like, a space thing!" North yelled over, flying back over. He landed before Samurai. "I never seen anything like it except in photos...Like, I don't know the word for it..."

North said something in Glitchian, and he muttered in more Glitchian, and then translated himself into English.

"Starship! I think that's what they're called! A starship!"

North beamed at the fact he figured the word out.

General Zura · 3/26/2020 11:59 pm

"A starship," Samurai repeated. "Interesting..."

He cleared his throat. "Well! That's probably not good. Can't think of any friends we've got in outer space."

SpecterTheGreat · 3/27/2020 12:13 am

((OwO crabs))

"Friends from outer space? Is that possible?" Specter squinted at the shiny starship. "You have cool crabs, btw."

General Zura · 3/27/2020 12:20 am

"Thank you," Samurai said, quite proud of his crab army.

He exploded into a new shape, a seraph, and started to fly towards the ship. "Possible or not, let's see what they want."

EchoDraws · 3/27/2020 12:26 am

North nodded, and followed behind Samurai in the air.

"It's sorta cool! The starship!" North smiled. "Hey, maybe the beings inside are friendly! Maybe we'll, like, make new friends!"

SpecterTheGreat · 3/27/2020 12:30 am

Specter just kinda ran behind the two flying beings, as they didn't have wings.

General Zura · 3/27/2020 12:52 am

"I hope so," Samurai said. "I'm running on two hours of sleep and a pack of Ritz crackers, so I'm not exactly keen to fight anyone."

He took notice of Specter and greeted them.

EchoDraws · 3/27/2020 12:55 am

"At least a pack of crackers is better than no crackers!" North chirped.

SpecterTheGreat · 3/27/2020 12:58 am

"You need to sleep?" Was all Specter commented while waving to Samurai.

Lavender · 3/27/2020 11:21 am

Lavender flew up and also followed North and Samurai, also hoping that the spaceship's inhabitants were friendly.

PoisonIvy · 3/27/2020 2:04 pm

[i was just scrolling through here and my chromebook did what it always does which is taking me to the bottom of the page for no reason and we go from crabs to spaceships ok]

Hehe. >:3

________________________

As they got closer, Samurai still couldn't see the starship all that great, but he could hear the deafening silence thundering from it. It was a dreadful, eerie silence, a silence that threatened to suffocate all three of them, and the longer he looked at the blurry form of the starship, the more uneasy he got.

He, uh...

He didn't think the inhabitants of this thing were friendly.

SpecterTheGreat · 3/27/2020 7:11 pm

((o.o trouble?))
Specter stopped running and instead squinted at the thing again.

Lavender · 3/27/2020 7:26 pm

((Yep!))

Lavender flew backwards a bit when she heard the silence, not knowing whether to fight the urge to unsheathe her claws or not.

EchoDraws · 3/27/2020 7:26 pm

North said nothing, but kept going. He was interested in the starship, so he ignored the fear nagging in his gut.

General Zura · 3/27/2020 9:16 pm

(Will POV later - my creative brain cells went yEET. But there's someone veryyy important in that starship. >:3)
