'Oh… no, no, I'm sorry, I haven't. But at least we're here together.' She felt relief as the woman successfully climbed onto her back, and then prepared herself to run.
'Hold on really tight, okay?' She waited a moment for the stranger to settle in, and then she started to run at an extraordinary pace. Each step was small, but extremely quick, so the wind could be felt passing by, but the house didn't seem as close as it should be at this pace. But they were getting there quicker, halfway through the cemetery and towards the back door of the house.
'I CAN LEVITATE TOO, IF YOU FEEL IN DANGER' she yelled over her own wind, 'BUT IT MIGHT BE A BIT SLOW, IT ONLY GETS US AWAY FROM THE GROUND.' She didn't see such need for levitating now, but it was good to be prepared in case the killer came running at them. Melanie couldn't levitate on her own, she needed a weight to help encourage her legs go at full speed, her body to be balanced, and a few more physic reasons. Melanie looked back, but the killer was still standing in the one spot. We need a sure place to hide in the house she reasoned to herself, being inside won't be enough.
YEEET A RANDOM ROLEPLAY
school
amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) gripped the other's shoulders as tight as she could. She thought she might've done a little too tight, since she could feel their shoulder bones digging into the palm of her hand.
Finally, Melanie reached the end of the graveyard, and used her levitating to get over. She was worried the girl would fall off with how wobbly she was, but she felt them gripping on the tightest they could possibly do. Once over, Melanie ran towards the back door, slamming headfirst into the door so the girl didn't feel a thing. She didn't stop running until they went straight into the middle of the house, where she had to bend over and pant hardly. It was impossible to look up or speak as of now, for she suddenly felt very dizzy. Maybe the levitation was too much for her.
school
"Y-you okay?" amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) started to ask in a slow voice. "I heard a bang, did you hit something?" she blinked her eyes, trying to clear away some dust that had fallen into them. She slowly slid off the other's back, and turned towards what she thought was the direction she could go and be able to find a wall. Better safe than sorry, she thought to herself. "Sorry for the trouble…"
'Oh… no no, it's okay, I just went through the door' Melanie wheezed. She finally looked up and found herself in the middle of a big, beautiful Victorian living room, with a campfire and fancy chairs no doubt. A chandelier too! Unfortunately, absolutely nothing was lit, so the place was submerged in total darkness except for the few windows that showed the bitter storm outside. Melanie looked back to the stranger, who seemed to be quite injured and slow.
'That's okay, it was no trouble' she assured, 'I just shouldn't have levitated, that's all. But are you okay? I don't even know your name? Oh, right, my name. I'm Melanie.'
school
amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) gave a shaky smile. "Y-yeah… I'm fine… it's nice to meet you Melanie, I'm amy (the most wonderful woman in the world)… Where are we, by the way?"
'Hehe, hi amy (the most wonderful woman in the world), what a nice name' Although rather simple she thought to herself; longer names usually appealed to Melanie before.
'Where are we? Well, we're in the house now. Looks all Victorian like to me. Its dark too, so I don't think anyone's home…' And from the looks of it, it didn't seemed owned by anyone either. As nice and neat as it was, there was audible creaks everywhere they turned, valuable paintings lopsided or fallen down, wear and tear on every object, cracks visible on every window.
'We'll need to find a light switch' she reasoned, 'Do you see any near you? I mean, I'm hoping this is just Victorian style and not actually made in a time with no electricity or something.'
school
"I…" amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) started, but faltered. I guess I should've told her sooner… she told herself, sighing as well. "I- I can't see…" she started to feel her way around the house, one hand on the wall.
'Oh… wait, oohhhhh okay… is that why…' She wanted to ask, but she wasn't sure if was appropriate to ask. Besides, the answer was probably already known. She instead decided to describe herself, since often her appearance was rather unexpected or unusual to others, and amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) might freak out if she felt her odd tail, or spikes or big nose.
'Okay, just so you know, I'm not human' she started, rather unsure why people don't expect any other creature other then humans, 'I'm a Yoshi. It's like a big lizard slash dinosaur from a video game or something cartoonish. I have an extremely large nose, big eyes, a stubby tail, red spikes, black and white scales, and little boots. I can levitate when I have passengers, can run fast, can eat up enemies, shoot things with my tongue, and jump a bit higher then humans.' She looked around the mansion once more, aware she had to light something up herself.
'Do you have any idea where I can find a light source? I can't see well in the dark, and it will useful for finding a hiding place.'
school
amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) was silent for a bit, taking all this in. "So… if you're a mix between a 'big lizard' and a 'dinosaur,' how big are you, exactly?" Then after asking a question of her own, she silently listed off the questions she was going to answer. First, she would return a question with another question, since it was never fully finished. "Why what?" Secondly, she would see if she could remember where light sources were usually placed. "Um… flashlights are used, and there might be a light switch around here somewhere, if there's electricity.
'Well, just as big as you, really' she responded, 'I believe that's pretty normal. And uhh… don't worry about the other questions, I can answer them myself… and yeah flashlights would work, but maybe I should look in the kitchen for one? If we can't then we could light a fire.' For a second Melanie believed she could try and swallow the fire to lit up inside herself and navigate the house, but then she realised that, oh yeah, cold storm. There would be a need for a warm fire and a main light source. She wasn't sure about how to start a fire, but there was a clear fireplace just in her direction.
'Alright, I've found a fireplace' she told amy (the most wonderful woman in the world),'it's right in front of me, and with any luck, there should be some firewood left to start one. Do you want to come closer?' She knew amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) couldn't be left alone, not with a killer on the loose, so her top priority was to have her in sight at all times.
school
"Oh, I just heard that dinosaurs were supposed to be like, big. Inhumanly big, you know? So, uh, just wondering," amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) let out a soft noise that sounded almost like a laugh. "And, yeah, sure, that sounds good. Is it near a wall?" she asked.
'Yeah, yeah, it is. Just follow the wall to the left and you should feel a brick layer protruding out.' Melanie soon started to rub some sticks together to try and make a fire. She had no idea if that was the way to go, but it was the best thing to do at the moment. Besides, the exercise made her warm up in a jiffy.
'After this, best to find some safe rooms to sleep in or find some help once we find of a phone' she puffed.
school
"Okay that's good to hear," amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) found that it was indeed her left hand on the wall, so she assumed that she was on the 'wall to the left' that Melanie referred to so she followed the direction of the wall. Not long after, she felt a rough texture beneath her hand, which she assumed was the brick that Melanie had mentioned. Ah, I forgot to tell her that I don't know what brick feels like, but it'll be okay, she thought to herself.
'Alright, you reached it, now you need to stay there, okie dokie? Hopefully there'll be a way to carry some fire with us to explore and all.' She tried harder and harder to rub the sticks together, feeling like her head was heating up more then the fireplace. The exercise was a good way to get rid of her stress, though. And in an instant, a baze set alight, surprising Melanie but extinguishing all her worries in one go. She let go of the sticks and a small but prominent fire started to flicker and heat up their area.
'Sweet… okay, it's lit now, amy (the most wonderful woman in the world). Get your hands away from the surface, it'll heat up soon.' She backed away, and soon looked around again. She wanted to start searching for help now, but she couldn't leave amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) alone or make her run around the place. A steady plan was needed for this situation.
'Alright, so I believe this house should be connected with modern stuff… but if not, what can we do? If we're lucky, we can escape the house and find a town… if we're near civilization… do you know anything about old houses? Telescopes? I'm afraid I'm a bit behind when it comes to history'
school
"Uhm…" amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) started, stepping away from the brick wall, edging towards the regular wall. "Didn't they use to have septic tanks?" If she was being honest, she didn't really know much about old houses either. She knew how telescopes worked though… right? Ah, who was she kidding? In theory she knew how they worked, but definitely not in real life.
'Septic tanks… yeah, sounds about right. Maybe they will have telephones too… maybe…' She looked on again in doubt about the room, with little hope. But an idea struck her.
'Well, there's nothing I can see down here, but maybe upstairs will have something? Maybe an old fax machine or telephone or… a tunnel system? I mean, you don't have to come if you don't want to, but I'll have to stay by you.'
school
"I-I'll come with. You don't have to stay with me, I'll be fine. I've lived my whole life like this. I know my way around fairly well," amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) laughed softly.
Maya growled softly to herself. That girl, amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) and Melanie were in the house. And she had to kill them. She entered the house, shutting the door behind her silently. She could hear the chatter of the two girls around the house somewhere, but close by. She stayed silent, making sure that the tip of her sword didn't touch the ground.
'Oh, you sure? I'm just a bit worried about…' She paused. Melanie wasn't really ready to except any horror right now. She never was, this was too out of her league. '…predator… lion guy in a human suit or something. But yes, we'll go upstairs to try and find something. The stairs are behind you, next to the wall.' She started walking her up them, making sure to step clearly for amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) to hear where exactly the stairs are. A bit of her wanted to race to the top, but the mere fact that it wasn't the time to do it made her upset. amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) seemed like a really nice person, why couldn't they have met in a different situation? Two winners in a race maybe. Both greeting each other, then a one-on-one battle, which she could train for months for. Maybe once they escape, they can do something similar?
'Do you like sports, amy (the most wonderful woman in the world)? Any kind of sports, really, chess, esports, dancing, and maybe just battles? l love competing in everything possible myself, which is why I try not to disagree with anyone. Have to win everything, you know? What's the point of losing?'
school
(Really quick, my friend wants to join! She's not exactly the best at roleplaying, (but she's my irl friend aha) but she would like to join, since I recommended this to her, saying that it was slow and easy, ect., you know? Just gonna real quick summon her aha… @catternap )
(Yello :) )

"What's the point of losing?" amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) echoed, a look of confusion and surprise entering her expression. "You learn things from losing. You learn how to be a good sport… not everything is about winning. Sometimes you need to cooperate…" she trailed off, thinking about Anna once more. Although, she couldn't stay in one place forever. She listened for Melanie's footsteps, and turned around, following her footsteps as closely as possible. "And as for if I like sports or not… too much competition. Why compete all the time? What do you get out of always turning everything into a competition?"
Maya watched the two girls walk up the stairs from her hiding spot. She would get them, there was no doubt about it. It frustrated her that she couldn't just capture them in one small room, then she could just kill them right there and then. It seemed they were talking about competition, or at least amy (the most wonderful woman in the world) seemed to be analyzing it… oh well. She continued the conversation in her head, responding to amy (the most wonderful woman in the world)'s question. You learn how to fight. You learn when a good time to celebrate is. Cooperation never gets you anywhere. It only creates pain, and bad memories…
(Also I just gotta say, I really love that c h a r a c t e r d e v e l o p m e n t you got there!)
(Shweet that sounds cool! She's more than welcome! Sorry about the absence, but there was no internet for a week, so I'm a bit thankful I didn't miss out on too much)
school
(It's okay! And that's fine)
(Oh- also @catternap is right next to me, I'll let her know.)
(Yeeeeee! Sheeterino, maybe I'll wait for her to join and then post mine???)
school
(Maybe! She's been looking for a slow one for awhile, so she may take a bit to respond, maybe a couple months at most. If you want, you could go ahead and post yours. Actually, one of the things I like about this rp is that it's really easy to just jump in even if you haven't actively been a part of it since the beginning.)
(that's really cool! And yeah, she can join in whenever she wants, I'll wait instead))
school
(alright, that's really nice of you!)
(aright, is everything ready or do you want me to post again?)
school
(you can go ahead and post again, my friend won't be on for a long time aha)
(she's not as invested into being active on notebook as i am)
(and this is the year where i'm finally figuring out what "school is keeping me busy" means, oof)
