THANK YOU VERY MUCH JERKFACE--I MEAN, LILBUENO FOR "HELPING ME" WITH THE ROLEPLAY. <3 ​

You're dead.​

That's the first thing you realize when you open your eyes, staring at the pale white canvas above you. You sit up, look around. There are others. Some wander aimlessly, others hurry forward in no exact direction. But you wait. You're frightened. It takes you several minutes before you remember how you died. Then you grimace, eyes gazing around the emptiness before you. Is this paradise? Or rather, hell? Or maybe those places never existed. Maybe you're in purgatory? Ah. That seemed the closest accurate guess. Those running before knew where they were going. Knew how to get to heaven. Or maybe to hell. Were they being guided?

Ignoring those thoughts, you figure you should hurry too. Maybe there's a deadline. A time the heavenly gates open. A time when darkness falls. Or a time when the beasts appear...

The World​

When you awaken, the only thing you see around you is white. So white, you can barely distinguish the walls from the floor or the floor from the ceiling. All you see in what seems to be the center of the room is a large black door with no knob. You approach the door hesitantly as the others do, wandering. You reach a shaking hand out to touch the wood and the door creaks open. You look around; suddenly the others are gone as a bright light pours from the crack of the door. You walk through...

Gasping, your eyes reopen. The space is wet, humid and small, nearly resembling a forest. However, there's an unearthly feel here. Something makes it all seem so surreal. As if it's all a dream. You sit up and see a few others lying unconscious on the ground.

Where is this place?

Why are you here?​

What's going on?​

And who's red eyes are those peering at you through the trees?​

The Weapons​

In an instant, the eyes seem to have disappeared. You feel yourself shaking, your entire being cold and difficult to control. You must be dead. This is too real, too breath-taking, too frightening. You look at your hands. They’re shaking violently, your eyes widening as your body seems to glow. Are you going to heaven now? You gasp, breath seemingly knocked out of you by some unknown force. You tumble to the ground, face in the dirt. You crawl up on your hands and knees. In front of you is what seems to be a weapon. A weapon? Why would you need one? What would you be defending yourself from?
You pick up the weapon. Around you, the others had woken up and were glowing now. You realize that your weapon is different from theirs. Reaching down, you pick up the tool and examine it. Why does it feel so right? As if it was divinely crafted for your hands only. As if you should have this weapon. As if…

It was made for you alone…​

The Demons​

As soon as you turn to the others, wondering if they know what’s going on, you hear a menacing growl from behind the trees. You whip around, gripping your weapon tightly. The others behind you do the same, shaking watching curiously. What is that? Before your mind can process the possibilities, a 4’2” creature lunged from being the trees, sharp claws outstretched, its long tongue swinging wildly with its quick movements as a threatening growl escapes from its throat. You’re stunned. You’ve never seen anything like this before. What could it be? And then, with your own realization, one of the other’s murmurs;

“Demon.”

You stumble back, gripping the weapon still and closing your eyes tightly. This is it. A loud bang is heard, a thick black liquid splattering onto your face and clothing. You groan but open your eyes. A woman had saved you, a cocky grin on her face.

They ask for your name.​

The Road to Heaven​

You tell her your name. Some of them look as frightened as you are, while some of the others look considerably more confident as they stare at the breathtaking girl. You shift nervously as this stranger begins to explain what’s going on. You were right. You’re in a realm between realms. The Middle Realm, she calls it. She tells you your mission. That you must find the way to Heaven.
She explains that this realm is a world of doors. That once making it from this world, you must journey through many conditions and fight many demons. She tells you that if you can’t survive, you’ll be dragged to hell.
You watch her. Her calmness frightens you. Who was she? How did she know this?
She turns from you, smiling and wishing you luck before disappearing into the shadows.

Some of you band together to make it through, while others search alone. Some will befriend each other while others will become enemies, using their weapons not to fight demons, but to fight each other…

Summary​

You wake up in a white room. Soon after you realize how you’ve died. After you walk out of the door, you’re in what seems to be a completely different world. You receive a weapon. This weapon is for you only. No one else can touch it. A girl appears and explains to you where you are and what you’re to do. Every “world” has a door. When you find this door, you are to go through. These are the orders of the worlds.

White Room
Where you first arrive, you wake up in an all white room. No walls or ceiling, just a huge black door in the center, leading to the…
Dark Forest
Where you meet the girl and get your weapon. This is the first world with demons, though no fighting.
Carnival
Completely empty with the exception of the rides. There’s an eerie feeling. Something isn’t right. And it seems particularly hard to find the door...
Deserted Island
Upon finding the door, you walk onto the hot sand of a deserted island. You wander through palm trees and alongside the water, keeping an eye out for demons in search of the door. Upon walking through…
The Mall
You arrive in a familiar setting. You instantly began to miss your friends and family. You know you can’t go back, but you almost wish you could. You keep pushing forward. Heaven’s near.
Floating City
This door is almost impossible to find. This world is plunged into darkness, demons lurking everywhere. It almost seems like you won’t make it out of this one alive.
Castle
For those who survived, you are in a castle. Water slowly pools beneath your feet. There are several black doors in the next hallway. Behind a few is the creaking of demons, and behind some is the eerie emptiness of the unknown. Which door is the way? Quickly, you’re running out of time, the water’s to your waist now.
Graveyard
You open your eyes. The sky is black, glittering with stars. You sit up and look around. There around you are tombstones. You’re in a graveyard, and in front of you is the door. You walk forward and then pause, a look of horror on your face. Behind you, your loved one(s) are/is walking to a tombstone. They gather around it. It’s your grave. This is where you reflect.
A world with Two Suns
Finally, you’ve made it. In the far distance, you can see the glowing white door on top of a hill. The girl mentioned this door! This is the door to Heaven! You’ve made it this far? You take a deep breath, confidently walking forward. But then the world is suddenly dark and still. You call for the others. Why are they so far away now? You turn once more and in front of you is a horde of demons. They are considerably stronger than before, evil looks upon their face. Don’t worry. They’re not there to kill you. They just want your soul. <3​

1. Played by: Ai Enma​

Character’s full name: Klover​

Age: Unknown.​

Appearance: Link​

Personality: Klover is very energetic and helpful. She loves giving advice and commenting on people’s actions. She’s also strangely fasinated with flowers. She’s very comfortable talking about death and shrugs it off as something everyone must go through. Though she is mainly reliable, there are some instances in which she cannot help and will seem to vanish for quiet some time. Not much is known about her orgins or her purpose, but she always says all will be revealed with time.​

2. Played by: Ai Enma.​

Character’s full name: Ann Marie Krevas​

Age: 18.​

Appearance: Link​

Personality: Ann Marie is a quiet and strange girl. She enjoyed reading when she was alive and was very studious. Some may think that she’s a tad insane, considering the fact that she finds the idea of death amusing and giggles in less than appropriate situations. Though she is easily amused and quite sarcastic, she is a very sad and lonely girl. She searches for the door to heaven in a mere attempt at leaving her human past behind and perhaps finding a happiness she didn’t even think existed. She is very anti-social but knows when she needs help. ​

Weapon: Ann Marie is blessed with a weapon she thinks suits her perfectly, a scythe.​

Other: None.

Character’s full name: Rhone Domi



Age: 17
Appearance: http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac20/XXxxJENOVAxxXX/Guy.jpg
He has one brown eye, and one green one.




Personality: Rhone is usually quiet. He's always been the follower, not the leader. He usually has trouble talking to girls, and tends to look away when talking to one. However, he's a gentleman and won't stand when someone disrespects a girl. He's so reserved and timid, that he usually won't say his thoughts when he disagrees on a plan and would rather go along with a bad idea, even though he's smart enough to come up with an extremely good plan.



Weapon: Rhone ended up with twin pistols, which he uses easily, but is afraid to shoot.



Other: He's ambidextrous, making it easier to wield his pistols.

Appearance: http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn194/black-mage-paradise/Kazuma.jpg

He's a loner and would rather do everything by himself. When faced in an unfamiliar situation, he'll stick around long enough to figure out what's going on and would then go on his own path. He's the token "cool guy." He's enjoys fighting and, although quick to anger, maintains a calm facade. He also has a very soft spot for animals.



Weapon: Axel's weapon is a broad sword. While it looks extremely heavy, to him it's light enough to wield in one hand. It's almost as tall as he is.

OOC: Starting now. :3 Other's, feel free to join.​

The girl slowly opened her eyes, directly faced with the endless red sky above her and basked in the pastel light of a lavender moon behind her. She narrowed them, squinting in the light before sitting up, slender pale fingers digging into the earth beneath her. Her head tilted, silvery strands of hair falling into her eyes. Her lips began to part, arms lifting. She smiled slightly, closing her eyes and speaking.

Her voice was soft and smooth. Her skin sparkled, indulging in the rare moonshine as she lowered her arms again in a small stretch. She stood up, the hem of her violet dress resting lazily on the grass, damp with its dew. She tilted her chin forward to gaze further past the horizon, words hushed still. She stopped talking, turning and fixing her eyes on a black and rouge butterfly fluttering passed her. With contained excitement, she spoke again. This time, her voice was strong and loud; echoing eerily in the large space.

She giggled and straightened up again, turning to gaze up at the moon.

“Here we go again.”​

♥♥♥​

Ann Marie’s eyes opened, a soft gasp escaping from her dry pink lips. White...That’s the only thing she could register. Just a bright, white sky above her. Or was that a ceiling? She peered deeper into the whiteness, trying to decide before pulling herself up, long black locks of hair falling over her shoulders. Her movements were swift, as if she were weightless. Odd. She thought, looking around. She appeared to be alone, the blankness stretched out for what looked like an eternity, though an oddly misplaced door sat still in front of her. The small girl peered to her left, past the door. It didn’t look like a wall. But then again, she couldn’t figure anything out.

She took a small step forward, her clothing feeling unnatrual and loose, her eyes burning. Something felt so wrong. Where was she? This couldn’t be the emergency room, could it? Ann Marie stopped walking, her arms dropping limply to her sides and her eyes widening.

The emergency room…

The whiteness surrounding her suddenly felt too bright, the walls getting closer. She stood there, trying to breathe but not finding the air. She kneeled down, her arms wrapping around her torso tightly, painfully. Her eyes shut. She remembered. This wasn’t the emergency room. She never made it to the emergency room. It was too late. All she remembered was blood. So much blood on her face, in her eyes, her mouth.

That bastard… Ann Marie’s hands loosened, her body shaking. Her career was finally coming together, everything was perfect. And he ruined it. That man she once called ‘daddy’. She shook her head, her pigtails swaying lightly. Her eyes lowered. He had killed her. Just for the money. Everything was for the money.

The girl stood up, looking at the black door and following the outline with her eyes. There was nothing more she could do but accept whatever fate called for her. She took a step forward, the door opening slowly.

“It’s only death, after all…”

 

OOC: I can never make long beginning posts....; ;

BIC: Alianne blinked, opened her eyes, then stopped, closing them. No no no no no, this couldn't be right, this couldn't be right.....peeking her eyes open again, she uttered a soundless scream and began banging her head against the wall, again and again until she was dizzy, then fell back on her butt, dazed. So she had actually followed through. Her ears rang, making her head spin, giving her a headache. Clenching her hands, she put her head in between her knees and took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.

Eventually, the white room stopped spinning, or she thought it did. She thought there were others there, but she couldn't tell. Getting up, she stumbled, smacking into a wall again and half yelling a curse. There had to be a better way to get around.

A loud gasp escaped his lips as Rhone jerked up. His head was hurting...bad. His heart was beating so fast and so loudly, he thought that it was causing his headache. All of a sudden, he noticed something. Starting to freak out, he jumped to his feet. What's going on?! He thought, looking around. Am I blind? That was the only thing that could explain the lack of everything in his sight. That is, until he saw the door. Stopping to look at it, he noticed shadows. "Other people?" He wondered aloud. "Where....where am I?" Why couldn't he remember? Why was his head throbbing like it was smashed through a wall...no, a windshield... When that thought crossed his mind, the pain not only increased, but extended all over his body. "Ugh..." one hand on his head, the other on his stomach, he fell to his knees. Pain...hurts...head..blood, The pain was so strong he couldn't even piece his thoughts together. His eyes narrowed slowly and then fully closed as images flashed through his head. It was dark, his hands were in front of him, holding a steering wheel. That's right...I was driving... he remembered as the images continued to speed through his head.

It was a dark night, he had just gotten out of church. He took Krystal home. That's right...tonight was the first night I kissed her, he kept remembering slowly. He had finally gotten the nerve of making a move on his best friend...what happened after that? He couldn't remember that, but the next image was her street speeding by. "Drive safely" her soft voice echoed in his head. Her last words to me? He wondered silently. Wait..."last words?" Why did he phrase it like that? He fell to his side, crouching in pain. The next image was the road going dark, Why does she have to live out on the backroads? he remembered wondering. There were no streetlights, the houses were too far from the road to shed any light, and of course, it just happened to be a cloudy night so the moon wasn't visbile. It was impossible to see, even with his high beams on. The next images flashed even quicker through his head. The road ended, no, curved. His hands jerked the wheel, his foot slammed the brakes. The car skid, first into the left lane, then into the right lane, and finally....into the tree. A deafening smash. Rhone opened his eyes and looked down, gasping. He was covered in blood, glass was everywhere, his legs were around the steering wheel, and his torso on the hood of the car. His vision faded...and then the pain was gone. Now he saw nothing but pure white.


"Should have worn a seatbelt," Rhone mumbled, smiling as he realized what happened, "Maybe th-th..then I would have," he gulped, "lived..." Krystal's face was beaming in his mind. Such a great night...and now...his train of thought derailed as tears started streaming down his face. He didn't bother to wipe them as he followed everyone to the door. As the image of Krystal faded, he didn't think about what was beyond the door as it started glowing, he didn't think about what would happen now, he didn't think about where he was going, the only thing on his mind was a simple question, Can ghosts cry?



---


Black...then a small, bright, horizontal line of white. The line fluctuated, decreasing and increasing in size until finally, the black was gone. His eyes fully open now, Axel stared into the whiteness. Others would have thought they were in a hospital, but Axel knew better. No hospital had a ceiling that white, that bright. No hospital was this quiet. No hospital could have saved him...not after what happened. He raised his hand over his face, and just stared at the wrinkles in his palm. Heaven? was the simple question he asked himself as he visually traced the lines, reading his own palm. His hand slowly lowered onto his chest. He slowly moved it downwards until he reached his stomach. He felt his every inch of his stomach, but something was missing. He raised his head and looked down. There was no hole in shirt, no blood, no knife. "Stupid, good-for-nothing, moronic, piece of crap IDIOT!" He ended up yelling in anger. He rolled over and changed his posture so he was on his knees. His fist was trembling. He knew he was dead, he knew what happened as well. He was walking out of the mall, his new necklace dangling under his shirt. He knew he was being followed by that guy...but it didn't worry him. He beat that guy senseless just a week before. That guy's existence was so pointless that Axel didn't even know his name...that thought calmed his fist and made his mouth slightly twitch upwards. The guy's girlfriend was flirting with Axel. He flirted back, why wouldn't he? She was a pretty good-looking girl. But her boyfriend thought Axel was to blame. "Moron," Axel spit. How was he supposed to help that SHE was flirting with HIM? The guy threatened him. Just another guy who thought his empty threats would scare Axel. A quick punch to the face made him shut up. But it also made him angrier. He attacked Axel...who easily fended him off and left him with a broken nose in front of his little girlfriend. When he noticed him following earlier, he thought he simply wanted a rematch. He let the weakling follow him. Why embarrass him again in front of a huge crowd? "He should have apologized to me, that little jerk!" Axel muttered in the whiteness. As he exited the mall, he heard his name, and before he could turn around, a sharp jab shocked him.

A small gasp, something that almost never came from the always-calm Axel, accompanied his head tilting down. The tip of a large knife was visible in the middle of his stomach. It must have severed his spine to be right in the middle. As the pain grew and the blood gushed, Axel fell, turning around to land on his back. He slid off the knife. The last thing he saw was that guy's twisted smile as a security guard tackled him and a crowd forming. He could see them screaming, but he couldn't hear them. They blurred, they faded, they vanished. And then, he opened his eyes to find the white ceiling.

"Oh well," he said, standing up. He looked around and noticed the monumental door in the middle of the room. Was it the middle? He couldn't tell. He was unable to see a wall behind it. Or in any other direction. A crowd was creeping towards it. He paid them no mind as walked towards the door as well. "Heaven, Hell, resurrection, Hades, or nothing. Whatever afterlife this is," he calmly stated as he stopped in front of the door, slowly raising his hand to touch it, "I'm not afraid." As the white light engulfed him, his mind betrayed his words and sent the most fear he's ever felt down his spine.

OOC: My god, that was a long post.

 

James felt as though he was being ripped from the inside out; since he couldn't feel his arms and legs, that might have been understandable. He saw nothing but white, but his vision felt clouded. He couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on, nor could he remember how he got to where he was. All he knew was, he wanted out of this place. He wearily and absent-mindedly reached for the knob to the door he just suddenly noticed.....

James wakes up face down in some small rocks, a very small trickle of water flowing over them. Feeling was starting to return to his limbs, slowly, as he struggled to get up. He looked around, noticing other people starting to come to; an odd dream this was turning out to be...if it was one.

He looked down at the sword that was appearing before him, and picked it up. Runes slowly started to appear on it, ones that he had never seen before.

What?...., he thought.

 

It was an odd feeling. Going through a door, a gateway, then opening your eyes to a dark sky. It was as if the room before was a dream and you were awaking reborn in a new one; The same surreal element unnerving you, the sourceless light twisting your head and luring your mind in circles. But she wasn't thinking enough about it to realize the power this world held.

Ann Marie sat up again, grumbling softly to herself with irritation. Where was she? This couldn't be Heaven. And from what she had heard, there was a lot more torture in Hell, unless they had been wrong. She looked around, the palms of her hands laying flat on the damp soil beneath her. She was in a forest. If it weren't for that weightless feeling she had, she might've believed she had descended back to earth. But she knew better.

She couldn't believe she had actually been killed. That he would get away with it. That she hadn't fought back, thinking the abuse would be alright, thinking it would end like it always had. How stupid. She thought. She should have seen it. But she wasn't the type to look beyond the obvious, not until now. It all seemed like play to her. But then again, she looked at everything as a game.

She somewhat wished this was all it was, a game. Her head spun as she bent forward onto her knees. It was too much to take in. She needed an escape. She needed help, guidance.

"What's happening?" Her voice cracked, eyes blurring. "Please help me..." She murmured, collapsing on her side after.

OOC: Added. ​

 

Slowly, the ringing went away. That didn't mean she was happy, but doing that kind of stupid thing wouldnt help her, yet. She stood on wobbly legs, without the support of one of the almost invisible walls, and opened the door, practically slamming it against the wall. If it was going to open, it would open goddammit. She went through the door, a sudden thought hitting her. She probably shouldn't swear like that, or she would end up in hell. Not that hell was a bad way to go, there was probably a lot of fun people down there. Grinning, she let the door shut on its own, kicked it, then turned around to survey this place.

 

James clutched his head as he tried to keep from falling down, using the sword for support. He opened his eyes more as he saw a glow coming from the sword. The black runes on his sword slowly started to glow white. It wasn't a bright light, or anything, just a soft glow. He stared in disbelief at what was going on. Just how did he get here, again?

 

"What?" Rhone didn't believe it. The trees, the dark atmosphere, he was back on Earth! A smile started to form on his lips as a giddy feeling started to take over. Then he realized he was wrong. He still felt as if he was dreaming, as if his body wasn't his own. The dark forest was dark, but in a different sense then where he...died. The thought gave him slivers. He was taking death pretty well, but the false hope of being back home...back with his familly...his friends...Krystal...and then realizing he would never see them again. He sat down, pulled his knees to his chest, buried his face in his arms, and let the tears flow, his body shaking slightly. He didn't care who was around him to see, after all, he didn't know them. He hadn't spent his life with these strangers, hadn't grown up sheltered by them, hadn't worked up the courage to kiss any of them. He heard footsteps next to him and then a scoff.
"Get over it, you're dead. Crying's not gonna help."
Get over it? How do you get over being dead? His face still wet from tears, Rhone turned his head, showing his green eye as he looked at the jerk who scolded him. The guy looked the same age as Rhone did. Yet there was a sharpness in his eyes. He was looking back at Rhone, staring deep into the single visible eye. "You--You're not scared?" Rhone asked simply. Was "scared" the right word for it? Rhone didn't know. He was sad beyond belief, that was true, but he was scared?
Axel looked down at the weak boy, obviously crying in front of all these people. Did he have no self respect? Axel looked around for a quick second. He noticed a few others were crying as well. Weak...he thought as he looked back at the boy. The fear he felt earlier was gone, but he remembered feeling it. "Scared? Of course not! There's nothing to be-" The fear returned and he gulped mid-sentence. He started to sweat a little, staring at the boy. The boy saw him gulp, could see his sweat forming, but simply turned his head into his arms again. "Damn it," Axel growled as he started walking again.

 

Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Alianne watched them all with a slight smile. All dead, all in some kind of afterlife. No more bills, no more hunger, no more worries. She looked up at the sky, then spread her arms out and spun. Soon she was laughing, and dizzy. This felt good, though. Spinning faster, she stopped, giggling, as she stumbled to the forest's edge. Staring, her giggles died down, and she pushed the vines aside slightly, her eyes narrowed. If someone was in there, she was gonna make sure they were sorry.

 

James did all he could to keep from falling back down. Somehow, feeling was starting to leave his legs again. Just how did he get here? He couldn't remember what had happened before the light, nor did he remember how he had become so weak. He tried walking forward, but fell flat on his face. He muttered something indecipherable under his breath, and tried to move forward. That seemed to be the only thing that mattered at the moment: Moving forward...

He didn't notice that his sword was starting glow more intently, more blue. More fierce.

 

Seth slowly began to awake as his eyes slowly opened. He sat up and scratched the back of his head "man what happened?" Seth muttered but then noticed where he was and looked around in awe and began to stand up "wow its so.......white" Seth said looking around "but wait how did I get here?" Seth said. The moment he heard that a voice rang in his head "hey watch out" the voice yelled. "that voice.....thats my voice.........wait I remember now.......am I dead?" Seth said. Noticing ths tears began to run down his cheecks "t-that means I will never see my mom or dad or anybody ever again" Seth said as he cried for a while but then stoped and wiped his tears away and sniffed "I-I have to stop crying......I'm a big kid and I should not be crying right now" Seth said looking forward and looked at the black door unsure if he should go or not "what a strange door......I might as well go. If I don't I will be stuck in this white romm doing nothing" Seth said as he walked forward and opened the door and walked in

 

James tried harder to stand up right, making just a little bit more progress. He finally noticed his sword glowing, but now starting to dim. He looked up, and saw more and more red eyes starting to appear from behind the trees just ten feet away from him. He turned around to see everyone else.

"Guys," he said, "we've got some sort of company..."
