RP ANYTHING!!! discussion

Jonathan Sherwood didn't get scared, he was a brave man, strong and steady. But now, now he was scared. A storm this large was unnatural, for a ship as large as this to be tossed around like a leaf in the wind was unspeakable. He knew he would die, even as he held his daughter back from casting herself over the back railing after her mother. "Tabby I'm not losing you or your brothers!! I can't!!!"

Slowly Tabby relised her grip on the railing and let her hand trail behind her as her eyes watched her mother's blonde head disapear under the waves for the last time. She didn't come back up. Tears streamed from her eyes and mixed with the water running down it, soaking her through. She stumbled as her father pulled her back towards the main cabin, numb.

"Taylor come back!!!" Tom burst out of the cabin after his brother, nearly colliding with his father and sister as he chased after him. Taylor had seen their mother go over and freaked. Now he was going at a mad sprint after her. Tom caught up and grasped his arm pulling him back. "Come on." At that moment the boat pitched again in the raging sea and Tom slipped on the soaked deck. Also in that moment Taylor jerked away and was tossed like a doll over the side of the ship. Tom jumped back up and rushed to the railing, and could do nothing as he saw his younger brother battered and won over by the sea. One second there, the next lost forever.

There was alot of confusion and sorrow over the next few days. But one of the most confusing things was that, after the storm calmed almost as instantly as it had come up. Johnathan Sherwood walked out of the Cabin to check on the rest of the crew, non of whom survived. As well as any passangers who lived, only a few. But when he approched the cabin again the door was thrust shut and lcoked from inside. Uppon looking through the small porthole on the door Sherwood saw the ship seemed to be stearing itself.

((Is it just me or did anyone else get tears in their eyes after the first post? Probably just me.))

((Yeah, sorry it made me really sad too, but I wanted a good start.))

((Certainly got my attention.))

((Well thanks!!! Haha))

((I didn't get teary-eyed, but that was emotional!))

Finn woke suddenly from his deep sleep on the plane and saw his writing all over the ground of the plane, suddenly, he felt the shaking and moving of the plane and realized it was out of control. He carefully unbuckled, grabbed all of his stuff, and took cover under one of the bigger seats. Finally, when the plane came to a crashing stop, he came out from under the seat and felt the plane slowly sinking into whatever surface it now lay on. He saw so many dead and bloody bodies and many suitcases and other luggage items everywhere, on top of people and so on. He kicked the door open and got out to find he was on a white sandy beach. He walked slowly out, pulling his shoes off and putting them in his bag.

After a few days, he had made a shelter of sticks and mud. He knew how to do this because for his latest novel he was writing of an African family. His research really helped him in his real-life situation now.

Tabby made it her personal misssion over the next few days to try and cheer people up, there were alot oc teenagers and children who had lost their parents. She wanted to help them even though she didn't know how to help herself.

Tom blamed himself for losing Taylor, and for along time after the storm stopped he still sat here his feet dangling over the edge of the ship looking out at the sea.

Arianna wondered threw the lowest deck possible. The memories of her mother haunted her and will for the rest of her life.

Finn came out one morning from his small hut and saw the ship. He was taken aback by what had happened.

Through the thick tropical haze Captin Sherwood looked out at sea. It may have been his mind playing tricks on him but the ship seemed to be steering itself towards a large island. Sherwood shook his head and turned away from the sight.

Tabby was sitting next to Tom now, trying to get him to eat something, trying to destract herself as well. Everytime she closed her eyes she saw her mother's frightened face as she was plunged into the raging waters and her scream as she was tossed like a feather over the side of the boat. That last scream echoed through her subconsiousness like a great and terrible forshadowning.

Tom ignored his sister's offers of food and sat as still as ever just watching the waves lap at the side of the boat far beneath him. His brother and mother were out there in that vast blue. Although if he thought about it and looked at the water just right he could see is as a massive black frothing pit of molten tar. Something ready to suck down anything that touched it, even the light.

Finn looked at the ship coming straight toward the island. "Wonder what a ship like that would be doing, coming here." He said to himself, and in some ways, to the small hummingbird he had befriended.

Tabby jumpped up, Could it be? She thought. As she spritnted towards the bow of the ship it became clear that what she was seeing really was what she had thought. An island.

Tom watched his sister leave, curious. Then he saw a quick flash of green ahead and stood up to follow.

Captin Sherwood was staring again at the island as they got closer, soon Tabby and Tom came running and stood on either side of him.

Finn waved his hands frantically at the oncoming boat.

The three Sherwoods looked towards the island as they drew ever nearer. On the island was a single person waving. Tabby and Tom waved back. Captin Sherwood was more cautios knowing of the dangerous tricks the Triangle could play on people's minds.

Arianna went up to the top deck for fresh air. When she got there, she saw an island in the distance. And was that a person? Waving?

((blah blah blah fastforward to the ship crashing into the sand on the beach))

Tabby acctually smiled as the ship ground to a halt on the white sandy beach of the island, it was beautiful. She grabbed a rope and swung down to the beach landing softly. Then she kicked off her flip-flops and ran barefoot towards the waving stranger.

Tom watched his sister go, but didn't move to leave the ship himself. Neither did his father.

((Okay we can all play the rest of the survivors until we have more characters, just leave out spacific names and be vauge.))

The other surviving passangers were coming topside to see what was happening.

((Thank you! A time skip!))

((Yeah I can't stand lulls like that))

Finn walked over to the girl. "This is a miracle! I've been here for days! Maybe even weeks!"

Arianna stayed on the ship and watched the man. She wanted to make sure that he was safe to be around and not some crazy guy that they found on an island.

Finn waved for Arianna to come off the boat.

Arianna hesitantly made her way down to Finn and the others. There was a breeze that kept whipping her hair around her face.

"I feel like it's been forever since I've seen another human being. I'm Finn." He said to Arianna.

"I'm Arianna," she shouted over the roaring wind.

He held out a hand for her to shake. "Nice to meet you. Follow me!" He shouted, against the wind. He waved her on towards where he was going.

Arianna ignored his dirty hand and instead said, "Nice meeting you too," and followed him.

He nodded, accepting that she wouldn't touch his hand. "Alright then." He led her to his favorite part of the island (or at least so far): http://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&a... "What do you think?"

"It's beautiful," she took in the amazing view.

"I know. This is my favorite place on the island." He said with a smile. Without any further notice, he pulled off his shirt and dove in with a splash.

Tabby watched the others mill around quietly chattering, sometimes the younger kids would burst out crying, and calling for their parents. Tabby wandered through the small crowd with a small blonde girl who reminded her o Taylor crying in her arms.

Tom was also with some of the younger kids, he had found an old foot ball on the ship and had started to play with the boys. Keeping a careful eye to make sure no one got hurt too bad.

Captin Sherwood was proud as he watched his two children playing with the others, and cheering them up. Even when he knew they were so sad themselves. And for the first time since the storm he genually smiled.

Arianna watched him in disgust. How can he splash around and be happy when so many people have drowned and will never be seen again? She stood there, her eyes narrowed.

He looked at her, confused. "What?"

Tabby was starting to wonder where the boy who was here at first went, ((she had never seen Arianna on the boat so she assumes she was here with him.)) Tabby saw the footprints that led off into the forest so she followed them, still holding the small child and now with another older boy holding her hand and tagging along.

Tom let a bunch of the younger boys take him in a tackle and then rolled around with them in the sand. He sat up and saw a boy who looked like someone he knew running away with the ball. He got up and ran after him, near the edge of the forest the boy turned around and looked at Tom. "Taylor!" Tom cried, it was his littel brother! Tom took off after Taylor as he turned with a smile and ran into the woods.

Captin Sherwood was looking out into the sea, "Taylor!" He heard the name called and whirrled around, he saw a young boy tumble into the arms of his older sister, from the looks of her, and turned back around to hide the tears that had come into his eyes.

Arianna didn't respond right away. "It's...it's nothing."

He looked at her, right in the eye. "It's obviously something. I can tell."

Tabby came out into a clearing with a large pool with a curved waterfall. She gasped and suddenly both of the kids started crying, most likely remembering the storm, and water's roll in it. Tabby herself stood frozen with fear.

Tom crashed through the thick forest after Taylor, "Why are you running?" He called,"We thought you had died!!" Tears were steaming from Tom's eyes.

"It's just…" she glanced at the water uncomfortably. "The water..." Arianna took a deep breath. "That ship that we came off of got in a major storm and over half of the people on board drowned."

He looked at the surface of the water. "Oh. I got here from a plane crash."

Tabby faintly heard voices, but they hardly registered in her mind as she stood staring at the churning water.

"Taylor!" Tom said still running after his fleeing brother. There was thinning in the trees ahead and he saw his brother run out into them. A moment later Tom came crashing out of the woods just as Taylor cast himself over the edge of the cliff, in much the same way he had been tossed from the ship. Tom ran to the edge of the cliff and watched an almost exact copy of his brother drowning. The screams echoed deep within him and shook the core of his being. There is something very wrong with this place. Tom thought, as stinging tears ran down his face.

"Was it just you?" Arianna sat down on the sand.

Tabby turned back to walk back to the beach, but when she did the trail was gone. Confused she looked around and saw another larger trail to her right, she followed it, never realizing when it turned deeper into the forest. Towards the center of the island. Yet the whole while she kept getting shivers like maybe the island itself were watching her from all sides.

((You're planning something, aren't you?))

He shook his head. "There were at least 50 people on the plane, but I was the only survivor. And luckily, I saved my writing."

"Writing?" She crossed her legs and put her elows on her knees, her head in her hands.

He pulled himself out of the water. "Writing. I am-- or I was in college to become a journalist."

((Phss. What makes you think that?!?!))

((I know because you said 'there is something very wrong with this place' and '...she kept getting shivers like maybe the whole island itself watching her...'.))

((Haha, of course I have something planned, I put A LOT of thought into this rp!!! (no really it took me like and hour just to think of where to start and then the perfect beginning. Geeze I even had a hard time making the characters fit, but now it all sort of just comes to me. So yeah haha, something.))

Tabby kept walking, the two children with her were quiet as well. She set the little girl donw and held her hand as she walked beside her.

Tom turned to go back to the beach and found that where the forest had been before was another cliff edge dropping violently off towards the sea. As a matter of fact as he turned around in a full circle, he saw that he was on a tall pillar of rock twenty feet off the island.

"That's so cool. How long were you interested in writing?"
