Ruins

NOTICE: NEW THANATOS
http://www.roleplayrepublic.com/roleplay/view_desc/10301/

REVAMP: After about twelve days of on and off working on it, the admins have finally finished a polished version of Thanatos. Those still interested, please apply there!

PLEASE NOTE: ALTHOUGH WE HAVE MAINTAINED THE BASIC SECTORS, A LOT HAS BEEN CHANGED ABOUT THANATOS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING.

Thank you and we hope to see you there!
Luhan (Yoona in new Thanatos) and Seo In-guk (Jeongguk in new Thanatos)

MOVING NOTICE: Thanatos is to be renovated. Instead of revamping, the admins have decided on creating a new roleplay. It will be under the same name, but many things will have been changed.

NEW LOCATION WILL BE PUT UP AS SOON AS IT IS FINISHED.

@Yook Sungjae Luhan walked silently, shoes occasionally scuffing against the rough rocks. He sat down on one, skimming his fingers over the dewy grass that insistently sprung up in the crevices. He wet his lips and blinked, angelic face showing no trace of the emotional mire he was stuck in. He braced his elbows on his knees, folding them neatly and leaning forward, looking out of place in the crumbling ruins.

What was he now? A soulless being, one with blood stained and slathered and splattered all over it.

A doll.



The doll stood up and continued its aimless walking. (What a funny little doll it was- a walking, living, breathing doll. One who looked like a human and acted like a human and was almost a human, but alas, was only a small porcelain doll.)

A sickening crack woke him out of his reverie and he ran towards the source of the noise.

His breathing sped up.

(Oh god, was that Sungjae? Thought the fragile doll.) Luhan lurched forward, feeling sick to his stomach, but the intricate mask he wore let nothing show- only paling in response.

Cursing the fact that he was no Aqua student, he ran towards the body hurriedly. S hit, the body was twisted in such ways that he couldn't do much other than looking at it. Touching his fingers to the pulse point gently, he waited for the worst. A gentle fluttering alerted him to the fact that yes, the worst was happening.

The boy was probably going to be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Life would never be merciful and just let death take over.

Luhan should have known that by now.

He slipped his hands underneath Sungjae, supporting as much as he could before teleporting to the infirmary.

The stubborn blades of grass danced in the wind, wearing fancy little dresses and suits of red.

@Bang Yongguk [[i didn't explain this shiz to you yet, huh? xD just wait for things to happen, i guess. sorry for my horrid writing.]]

[omg what haru what's happening what what]

Sungjae climbed slowly to the top of a decrepit stone building and propped himself up, hugging his knees. A soft, icy breeze ruffled his hair and it reminded him so painfully of his brother that his heart constricted in his chest. Why did he have to be so weak? If he had been stronger, if he had managed to get to the school earlier, then none of this would have happened. He wanted nothing more than to rewrite time, to clean his slate, and to right his wrongs.

"Aren't you cold?" A melodious voice like liquid silver echoed through the ruins. Sungjae turned to see a young man, barely older than himself and clad in black. He was, to be quite frank, beautiful. Feathery dark hair reached just below his ear, brushing against his flawless jaw. His features were warm, but he had a sad smile, as if he understood Sungjae's heart like it was his own. "Aren't you?" the stranger repeated, stepping a little closer. If Sungjae tilted his head, he slightly resembled In-guk. Or maybe Luhan.

"My brother's dead," Sungjae blurted out suddenly, and the words brought another jolt of pain to his chest. "My brother's dead, and I was too powerless to help him."

The stranger nodded sympathetically, kneeling down next to him. "You want to bring him back, don't you?" Sungjae nodded in the affirmative. Something about this man had him spilling out all of his secrets.

"I can give you the power to do that," the stranger murmured, biting his lip. "But there will be a price, Mister...?"

"Sungjae. And I'll pay whatever price it takes."

"Ah," the man smiled slightly, his dazzling eyes friendly. "I'm Seth. You do trust me, don't you?"

"I-I do," Sungjae mumbled, not sure why he was putting his faith into a complete stranger. Something about Seth just drew him in like a moth to light. He knew he could trust the man.

"Then close your eyes."

Sungjae complied. An icy sensation almost automatically sank into the pit of his stomach, evolving into searing, white-hot pain. He opened his mouth to scream, but no sound would come out. Inky black darkness shrouded his vision as his whole body felt like it was being torn to shreds and rebuilt.

Then, through the blinding haze of pain, came a falling sensation and the sickening crack of bones shattering against rock.

[[up for luhan]]

[[IMPORTANT: We are having a masterlist clean-up.

@Seo In-guk [Hiatus] Luhan took a small step forward, and left only a gust of wind where two people were originally.

[["And Team Rocket is blasting off again...!" He yelled.]]

@Luhan "Sure," In-guk smiled. "You take us there; I recall that my teleportation is somewhat faulty."

Luhan averted his eyes and grabbed at In-guk's arm, feeling worse internally about how nice In-guk was being to him.

"...Bye, Kay? Kai? I'm going to have to steal him away from you." Luhan bowed to the man and then softly asked, "Dorms?"

@Luhan "We just met, so friend isn't the best term. This is..." In-guk racked his brains for the name. "Kei or Kade or something like that." He nodded at Kai. "Uhhh, what's-your-name. I'm probably going to leave now."

Standing up and stretching, he stuck his hand out, hoping it was near Luhan. "Shall we go? And also, stop feeling so guilty. I can hear it in your voice, and it's making me feel worse."

@Seo In-guk [Hiatus] Luhan arched his eyebrow at In-guk, before remembering that In-guk's vision was taken away- by him, no less. He swallowed a small lump and bent down. "Who's your friend?" Luhan sighed quietly, not being able to quench the feeling of his guilt.

@Luhan "Luhan," In-guk answered, almost immediately. He knew his voice too well to mishear it. Scratching the back of his head, he faked a laugh. "Sorry, I'm being stupid again, huh? I'm always running off and making you worry."

Hearing conversation, Luhan lifted his head and looked around for any signs of humans. He stared at the familiar silhouette of In-guk- he had seen it too many times to forget- and another boy.

He walked over smoothly despite the rocks that attempted to hinder him. "Hello," he called softly. He looked over the two suspiciously. "In-guk." He nodded curtly.

@Kai In-guk relaxed at the sound of the familiar name. It was one of the members of Ventus. He contemplated lying to the student, but decided that he might as well accept his condition. "I'm blind," he said flatly. "Of course I can't see you."

[[Sorry for the late reply]]

@Luhan [[Ignore the last kick. I lost track of my sentence/question.]]

Kai's lazy smirk is evident on his lazy face. But he isn't much of a bad guy so he walks nearer and grins. "Kai." He gives the boy an odd look. "Why, can't you see me?"

@Seo In-guk [Hiatus] Luhan muttered to himself angrily as he kicked the stones around. Right before they flew any further he stopped them, making them hover in midair. Soon, he had an army of hovering stones.

Kick. "Where is that-"
Kick. "Goddamn-"
Kick. "Idiot--"
Kick. "Gone to?"

@Luhan [[No you shut up.]]

@Seo In-guk [Hiatus] [[Shut up, Meanwhore. Look, I'm training people and having a Seohan moment.]]

@Luhan [[Shut up. I'm still faithfully bailing it out. And you need to get your prim little ___ here, too. Kai's the only nice person. THE REST OF YOU ARE HOES AHFJSFHJSKFHJSAKFSDA]]

Hearing footsteps, In-guk shot to his feet. "Who are you?" he asked harshly, hoping he didn't sound as fearful as he felt. If someone were to attack him here, he wouldn't be able to fend them off. The memories of pain in this place were too fresh for him to shake off.

[[In-guk's blind right now, sorry^^;;;;;]]

@Seo In-guk [Hiatus] [[Sinking... The dinghy with a cannon hole is sinking...]]

Kai walks in the ruins calmly, feet emitting soundless footsteps. His eyes land on a student as he blinks, surprised. What was he doing here?

[[SOMEBODY GET THEIR ___ OVER HERE AND HELP ME OUT BECAUSE HOBABY'S BEING UNRESPONSIVE]]

[ poor gukkie. D: ]

[[Oh god, you're still here.]]

[[Stuck in the ruins, stuck in the ruins, dum dee dum.]]

@Seo In-guk [[*it]]

In-guk appeared in the ruins, wind brushing back his hair slightly. He sat down on a rock, listening to the grass rustle.

Strange, how he never appreciated the view of the ruins, but he missed them now.
