Realistic or Modern The Town Of Fantasia Wood Pine

[Midnight Paragon]

Carmine raised his hands in the air in a playful defensive manner, a small grin spreading onto his face.


"Alright then, forget I asked. You're obviously mature and responsible enough to have a drink. Though, for future reference...."


He spoke a bit quieter at this part.


"Don't use Comic Sans as the font for your information. Anyone can take one look at that and see its fake. Anyone but this lady, apparently."


He took a swig from his glass, the tangy liquid going down quickly. He figured he was going to be in here most days if he didn't have much to go on, which he hoped he did. He didn't want to waste much time here.

Samantha kicked her feet up in the air then let them drag along the dirt of which her converse were already dirty which didn't make much difference to be brutally honest. She looked up when she heard someone taking to her, a male to be exact. It wasn't someone that she recognized, Her eyes peered up at a dark haired boy. "Hey." He stated extending his hand out to her. She glanced at it then up at him again. "I'm Jeremy." He said, She hesitantly grabbed his hand and shook it softly. "Samantha ." Samantha was kind of the awkward type when it came to meeting new people not like it was a bad thing she just needed to develop more socializing skills. Well, she never really left the house unless she were to wander the woods alone or had to go to school. Samantha didn't have many friends but it sure was a good time to, this was the perfect moment to actually get to know someone considering it is kind of weird that she alone all by herself in the middle of a park. Depressing.

Kara rolled her eyes, thank god he didn't crash the party, that would of ruined the whole party for her.


She crossed her arms, listening to his rant and raising his voice, "Seriously, calm down, I'm still alive, right?"



​

​

He frowned he wanted to yell at her further but realised it wasn't his job to do so."Yeah but I worry and you told you will come home earlier. Would it kills ya to call me? That is all I am saying, I could at least run interferencewith your parents."

 

[BasicallyMe]

Riley grins and her face turns red at the reminder she used Comic Sans. The fake ID was made at age 16 and she never thought of changing it to a more realistic look. "Hm, fair. Maybe changing the font will be on my to do list today." She rolls her eyes jokingly and sips at her drink once more. "Hey, um, are you new or something? I've never seen you around here before and curiosity is eating me alive." Riley stirs the blue liquid around with her tiny black straw. The swirls fascinating her for the time she awaits Carmine's reply. "Oh, and I have no idea what your name is. Not really safe to be having conversations with strangers now is it?" Her right eyebrow arches to give a stern look.


@Knight Nate


Jeremy watches as the girl examines him. He was beginning to think she wasn't too interested in having a conversation when finally she answered. "That's a beautiful name." He grins letting his pearly whites show, "To be honest I was going to come tell you to knock it off. The swing's noise is very irritating, but then I saw your face and thought 'Hm better not make myself come off as a jerk in front of a pretty lady'." He winks and sits on the swing next to her. His ears wanting to bleed from the screeching.

Lucinda woke up with her foot dangling from a tree. She looked down and noticed she was pretty high off the ground. Lucinda sat up and stretched, letting her muscles relax. She looked at her pastel pink wings and flapped them a little bit. The girl smiled and flew down from the oak tree.


The girl then went over to the stream and purified the water to drink. After Lucinda took a sip of the drink she yawned and took a little walk through the forest. She could hear some commotion going on in a little two story abandon cabin... Parties usually goes on in that house so she wasn't surprised.


Lucinda could start to see the empty road and made her pastel pink wings disappear. She then walked in the middle of the empty road humming, until she made it to town.


Once in town Lucinda could feel new presences. Lucinda wondered who they could be so she made her way towards the first place she felt the presence, the bar. Lucinda didn't go inside but she just stared into the window, putting her soft hand on the glass and watched the people.


There were barely anyone inside, just a few old drunken fouls and the the teen girl she sees around town a lot. But, there was a man, looking not to old but not to young. Strange, Lucinda didn't feel anything weird about him, just a normal human... But then again, there was something she didn't like... And she was going to figure out what it was.


Lucinda put her other hand on the glass window and continued to watch him.

Kara shrugged, "I was drunk, do you really think I had the common sense to call?" Kara couldn't help but laugh.


She then checked the time on her gothic vintage watch she always wears and sighs, "I have to get ready for school..." She said and stood up and grabbed her black leather book bag from her desk, "I'll see you later." Kara walked over to Derek and gave him a hug, "See you soon." She kissed his forehead and walked out of her room.


Kara causally walked out of the house and towards the school.

Derek sighed in resignation watching back from school and hugged her back when she did. "Good luck and don't have too much fun in school."He said kissing her back before letting her go, he walked out of her room with her and went to his. Compared to hers his room was very spartan, just a bed and a cupboard, he didn't need more. He undressed and tried to get some sleep while he still could for the next hour or so before he had to go and do some work. He was hired to fix up toilet at the near by bar.

Samantha found herself smiling when he complimented her name, that was rare thing. Peole never complimented her name because it's not as pretty as some other names likes Clarissa, or Angela or something like that it was a name like Bailey, pretty bland. "That's a beautiful name." He said, grinning showing his straight white teeth, "To be honest I was going to come tell you to knock it off. The swing's noise is very irritating, but then I saw your face and thought 'Hm better not make myself come off as a jerk in front of a pretty lady'." He winked at her, She felt her face get hot just a little bit. "Oh...Sorry, I'll stop." She stated chuckling a bit placing her feet directly on the ground to stop it from swaying back and forth creatin a eering sound that nobody liked to hear. "Yeah, Um...This might be a really stupid question. But, Have you seen a man thats fairly tall like around six foot and has dark hair and a beard that is a little long and slightly bigger built?" She asked Jeremy curiously, He could have seen him but she wouldn't know until he had asked. "It's my father, He went missing a couple days ago and I haven't seen him since." She stated, her head leaning down a bit to peer at her sneakers with her curly hair brushing in front of her face loosly.

@BasicallyMe


(Sorry for the late response my computer was being dumb.)

 

[Midnight Paragon]

Carmine stopped for a second. He needed to choose his words carefully. He couldn't really just outright say he was a P.I, people would get suspicous. He looked away from her and then back after a second.


"Yeah, guess you could say I'm new. Im...a reporter, here writing a piece on Fantasia. I'm Carmine. And who would you be, underage drinker?"


He continued sipping his whiskey, keeping his best poker face as he could. His eyes began to glance around, and as he did so, he thought he saw a face and a hand on the bars window, but he returned his attention to the girl.

 

[BasicallyMe]

Riley listens to Carmine and nods seeming fascinated. "Alright, look. I'm 20 years old so I wouldn't count that as an underage drinker. Just one more year and I'll be good to go." She very well knew that this was a lie, but anything to get Carmine to stop being onto her about it. "And as for my name, I'm Riley Anne. I'd prefer to be called Riley but either way I could care less. Not going to make a fuss about what people call me." She sips the last bit of her drink down and slides her glass towards the bartender. "And I don't have a last name, not anymore at least so don't bother trying to dig up one." She flashes a short smile at him and jumps off the stool. Her feet couldn't reach the ground yet and most likely never will. "Would you mind taking my number? I could give you some stories on this crazy ass town sometime." She grabs his hand and writes it down with the bartender's pen. "Just call me when you decide to get information." Riley could feel a headache coming on. She was prone to deadly migraines every now and then; a side effect of being different.


@Knight Nate


Jeremy listens to her description of a man, apparently her father. "Well, unfortunately I am going to say no because I've seen plenty of men like that around here and none of them had been interesting enough to pay more attention to." He shrugs and relief floods through his blood as she stops swinging. "Sorry, if you ever need a place to stay I could hook you up with that. A place that's not lonely to be more precise." Jeremy shivers the slightest as a cold breeze passes by. For these past few minutes Samantha seemed to get his mind off of the delayed drug shipments, causing him to simmer down from earlier.


@Dylans Wife


((It's ok!))

 

[XxKaraxX]

Lucinda could hear the conversation the teen and the new guy were having. She didn't believe him for one moment that he was a reporter, not one tiny bit. No one wants to have a report on the boring small town... She was surprised when Riley actually believed him.


She wanted to go in there and figure out herself. Technically she would be able to go in there due to her extremely old age... But sadly, she looks six, no one would believe her.


So, she'll just wait until her comes out.


Lucinda continued to watch him...
​

 

[weewoo]

Samantha stared at him for a long moment studying his face, he was quite gorgeous she wasn't gonna lie but she didn't expect herself to fall right at his feet. She wasn't in love, she actually quite afraid too due to her mothers affair with a man leaving her with her father, just past experience but it doesn't she mean she won't, trust is the key. She scanned his face softly with her pretty big hazel eyes tucking the hair that was dangling in her face behind her small ear carefully. "Oh, it's alright." She said said softly, now she knows that she probably has no chance in finding him. "Uh, Okay... I don't really know, I don't want to cause any trouble. Thank you though." She stated, Her eyes looking over at him then up at the sky above their head. "You must know this place very well." She said chuckling a bit.

​

@BasicallyMe

 

[BasicallyMe]

Jeremy nods in agreement to her uncertainty and shakes his head. "You're right, that's weird. Don't even answer that. Just a civilian trying to be welcoming. Unfortunately it came out really.. weird." He brushes his fingers down the top of his head to the back and grins. "Yeah, I've been living here for quite a while. Just a year and a half I believe. It hasn't been that long." Jeremy continues to sit very still on the swing in order to not move it and make the thing scream. "You must be new then, asking me this question?"


@Dylans Wife

 

[Midnight Paragon]

Carmine rolled his eyes at her remark at being twenty. He could tell just by her manner that she was, at the least, seventeen. He was surprised when she took his hand and wrote down her number, though. Old memories of his high school days resurfaced, girls usually writing numbers on his friends somewhere, but this was the first time someone wrote theirs on him, albeit for a different reason. He held his hand up to his face and then looked back to the girl as she stood, one his eyebrows raised again.


"I'll keep it in mind. Thanks."


He turned back to the bar and to his drink, sipping a bit more as he watched the girl out of the corner of his eye.

 

[Domxx]

Noah woke up in his small cabin in the woods, just outside of town. He stretched and yawned as he walked towards the window, "I wonder if I'll meet anyone today?" He said to himself before grinning and changing out of the t-shirt he slept in, into a new one. He left the cabin and walked through the woods, towards town.

 

[BasicallyMe]

"No problem." She set a tip on the table while keeping an eye on Carmine before turning her attention to somewhere else and leaving. She halted right outside the door and looked at Lucinda. The little girl was peering inside the bar for some odd reason which made Riley interested to spark up a conversation. "Excuse me young lady, but aren't you a little.. little to be curious of what's in a bar?" Riley kneels down beside her and follows her gaze straight to Carmine. "Ahh, he's handsome am I right? But just a tad bit old for you. Tell me, where are your guardians?"


@Knight Nate

 

[weewoo]

Samantha stood up pushing the swing away from her and brushing of her purple shirt that's sleeves reached her elbows. She turned to look at him playing with end of her nervously. "Oh, that's cool." She said smiling to herself looking down at the ground below her feet. It was green, and dark and healthy covered in small little yellow flowers. "You must be new then. Asking this question." He said in more of a question. "Yeah, I am. I've been here for a couple days... The car broke down so I would've been gone by now if my father didn't disappear. I've been looking for him for days, we were heading to a small town in Michigan which quite far away from here but... It looks like it's not happening anymore." She said nodding her head, not explaining why they were moving. "Sorry, I don't want to bore you with my bullshit. tell me what something about you."

​

@BasicallyMe

 

[XxKaraxX]

Lucinda watched as Riley left the bar, she then heard the front door of the bar open, but she ignored it and continued to stare at the man.


She then heard Riley begin to talk to her, she turned her head to Riley and she slowly put down her small hands down from the glass window, leaving little tiny smudges.


Lucinda let out a small laugh, only if she knew that he was actually a bit to young for her. She nodded and smiled innocently then her eyes widened.


Her parents died a long, long, long, time ago...


"Well..." Lucinda says trying to think of something as she averted her big green eyes from Riley to the ground, "I...I don't know... They just left me here and went away..." Lucinda said, it was a complete lie... But Lucinda was a great lair. @BasicallyMe
​

 

[BasicallyMe]

Jeremy shakes his head, "Actually you're not boring me with your bullshit, your shit is actually quite interesting." He rubs his head again and looks up to the sky as if thinking about more to tell her. "Well not much to tell, I live in a house close to the woods with my parents and everyone thinks I'm a jerk. Either that or they think I'm odd, or hiding something. People think my whole family is odd." He shrugs and scans the area around them.


@Dylans Wife


Riley's brows furrow at the little girl and her heart begins to ache ever so slightly. "They just left you? Well, why would you choose a dangerous bar to come for comfort. Is there something specifically you're looking for? Did you think your parents would be here?" She questions the little girl while still kneeling. "I can give you a quiet place to stay, some hot chocolate? It's too cold to be out here all day."


@XxKaraxX

 

[Domxx]

Noah was almost at the town when he actually realised what day it was, "Crap!" He yelled, scratching the back of his head, "I actually have school today.." He started to walk back to his cabin to get his stuff. Hmph. Why am I always so forgetful? He thought to himself.

 

[weewoo]

Samantha nodded her head slowly listening to the words that rolled of his tongue softly. She smiled widely, She rocked back and forth on her heals of her feet placing both arms across her chest comfortably. "No really it is, I don't want to sound like one of those girls." She said honestly staring at him for a long time. She couldn't seem to look away from him she then realized she was probably staring too long snatching her gaze away from Jeremy. "I like odd people, everyone is a little weird." She said simply with a shiver crawling down her spin due the soft breeze whooping through the thick trees and landscape around her. "Really, out of everything I didn't bring... A coat." She sighed rubbing her hands along her arms slowly to make herself warmer. "People are different around here, Like not normal...Human."

​

@BasicallyMe

 

[XxKaraxX]

Lucinda shakes her head, "I was hoping someone would help me..." She continues on with the lie, "But no one was coming out..." She sighs and then smiles softly and nods, "Really?" She got pretty excited, she loves anything chocolate.

​

@BasicallyMe

 

[Midnight Paragon]

Carmine watched her go with a smile, but as soon as she left it returned to his usual serious looking gaze. He could feel it...there's something off about these people. He didn't like it here; he wanted to solve this case as quick as possible and leave. He finished his drink and turned to the bartender. He asked her if there were any good rumors around lately, and got a good response. She said that there was an unusual amount of tourists like himself wandering off into the woods, never to return. He looked down at the bar again. People just wandering off? This was more strange than he previously thought. He stood from his chair and put down a five for his drink, rubbing the back of his head. Perhaps he was in over his head...

 

[Domxx]

Once Noah had gotten his backpack and school stuff ready he ran all the way to school. He still managed to get there late, bursting through his classroom door.

 

[XxKaraxX]

Kara actually made it to the high school at a decent time.


She walked into the entrance of the school, watching all the other teens chatting then looking over at her with glares, or wide eyes, some eyes looked like they were in awe. Some of the teens even looked scared of her.


Kara didn't really mind though.


The reason everyone knows about her is because of her home that looks pretty creepy, well thats one of the reasons. Theres a bunch of rumors about her and her family. Plus, some people just hate Kara.


Once Kara made it to class she was pretty late because she was exploring the school.


Kara waved to the teacher and the teacher rolled her eyes and pointed to a desk in the back to this teen she hasn't noticed before.


The blonde shrugged and sat next to him, opening up her book bag to get her notebook to take notes. @Domxx

[Katerang]

Michael Parked the car in the cracking driveway and stepped out of the car, he looked up at the house and sighed. So much for his plan to unpack and maybe do a little dusting before school, this house needed much more than a dusting. He grabbed his small box of possesions out of the back seat, it was mostly clothes, with one old picture from when their parents were still alive, and his computer. He also grabbed his sisters box of clothes from the trunk. The two boxes were heavy, but he hardly noticed and could hold them with one hand if he needed to. Runa followed him with a more diverse box of jars and books and other nick nacks that were mostly hers but had a few of her brothers science books in it. Michael wanted a job that could provide for his sister without much schooling so science was only a hobby. He planned to be a plumber or contractor instead since he was just naturally good with his hands.


They entered the house with a key the lawyer had given them and when they got in they found the house in a bad state. Everything in the house was expensive but most of it was covered in a thick layer of dust. There was also alot of strange knicknacks just hanging around everywhere. There were bookshelves in every room filled with large tomes, some with titles in a strange language. There were jars filled with who knows what just sitting on tables and in drawers. All of uncle mortamers nicknacks looked creepy, like a stuffed crow whose black eyes seemed to follow you and weird orbs covered in runes of some sort... Runa could not have been happier.


Michael put down the boxed and dusted off the mirror in the front hall, seeing himself looking back he sighed. "When the lawyer said Uncle Mortimer was eccentric I was not expecting it to be like this..."


"This is the most amazing thing to have ever happened to us... I am not leaving this place for weeks!"


"Runa no. You need to go to school today you haven't been for a few weeks while we were settling everything with the lawyer."


"Neither have you!"


"But I need to start cleaning this place up!"


"I can help!"


"I am not leaving you alone with this stuff."


"And I refuse to go to another new school without you!"


"Runa, You need to... oh..." Michael took Runa's box from her and set it on the floor. "I suppose... I suppose we could both go..."


"Yeah..?" Runa looked up at him her eyes a bit wet from frustration.


"Yeah... We'll figure this out when we come back..."


They pulled their bags out from their respective boxes and found some random notebooks to fill it with for now. "You sure we shouldn't get settled now?" Runa asked nervously.


"No you aren't missing any more school..." So he took her hand and they left locking the door and heading down the street twards the school they passed earlier.
