RPG The Castle

[rokas]

"What a hell was that?"
"Sounded like someone laughing, maybe there really is someone living here." Richard said exitedly, "oh and the door ain't budging"
"What? You're doing it wrong, let me try!" Austin tried to turn the master key in the lock of the big, oak door, nothing happened.

The creepy laughter echoed through the main hall again.
"Wait a second," Richard listened intensely. "I think it's some creaking hindges, there must be window open or something" He grabbed his key and ran towards the stairs others slowly followed.
suddenly someone shrieked "Watch out!"

Giant shandelier fell to the floor in the middle of the group of kids, everyone jumped out of the way. Light flached and went out they were all covered in such darkness that they were unable to see each other. suddenly darkness something twinkled in the darkness, a ghost appeared at the top of the stairs, everyone ran their ways.

OOC: you're all separated, the first thing you'd want to do is to find each other and awooid ghosts and traps. good luck.

"Man, of all the rotten luck. I should of brought knight vision goggles or some thing" jacen said as he was walking in A hall way. ahead of him a suit of armor started moveing. "Well here goes nothing" jacen said as he with drew the sword he brought from home. The suit of armor with drew it's sword too. Jacen was able to defend against most of the blows but had to jump over A low swing. One of the swings hit him and sent him into A wall. "Well what ever this sword does it better do it soon" Jacne said as he defended against A attack. The sword started glowing and the armor stoped moveing so jacen struck it. The armor fell apart and some thing came flying out and went into the wall then dissapered. "Well now i'm begining to like this sword" jacen thought as he walked down the hall way.

He hated this part most. Silence. Ghosts, falling shandiliers were quite exciting, but simply waiting there in pitch black, was annoying and well scary.
He tried to take his mind of what ever he saw standing there. Then he remembered the chandelier. From outside the castle look anccient, how could there be a chandelier? He imagined that people at the time castle was build, lit everything with torches or something, but this big expensive thing for candles, it somehow didn't fit.
In the dark he bumped into a door completely unprepered.
"Eh guys! I think I found something! Guys?" There was no reply. Richard pushed the handle.

It was a bit lighter in that room, though there was no source of light. In the middle of the room there was a table, by it sat a cloacked man, his face invissible in the shadow of the hood. He held an anccient pack of cards in his hands.
"Hello Richard, sit down and lets play." The man said in a haunting voice.
Richard turned arround spooked out, trying to leave, but there was no door on the wall. He sit down, man shuffled the cards.

He saw as the women ghost,without her dacing partner,come to him.

Women:I'm sorry for that...I tend to do that.
Austin:It's ok....it didn't kill me.

He looked at her young face.Though he could see throught it,she was nice.

Austin:What is your name?Mines Austin.
Women:My name is Melfina.
Austin:Goodbye...Melfina.

He went out of the ballroom.HE stoped and looked back,as Melfina looked back at him.[/COLOR]

Sure as long as you don't leave the castle or end the night, anything is possible

[terra]

OOC: I didn't sign up, but I'll play if that's okay. Terra's 14 years old, long black hair and brown eyes, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, and brought from home nothing but her wits ...
------

Terra had run into what looked to be the kitchen of the huge castle and she stopped abruptly. There were several of each appliance: two gigantic refrigerators, four ovens, several microwaves ... and they were all of the same shiny metallic material. There was an island counter in the center of the kitchen. Above it hung a rack displaying knives ... paring knives, butcher knives, regular dinner knives ...

Terra looked up. "Knives in a haunted house ..." she said, not wanting to move. "Probably not the best place to be."

Suddenly she saw a movement. In the reflection of one of the shiny refrigerators, she could see a little girl, maybe six years old, walking. There was no one in the room but Terra ... The girl's reflection continued walking, from refrigerator to oven to microwave to refrigerator ... She stopped, looked at Terra and smiled.

"Let's play," a voice from nowhere said. It was coming from the reflection.

Terra's eyes widened and she felt as if she were glued to the floor as she watched the knives in the rack slowly float up and aim for her ...

[T man]

"Man who ever lived in this place last didn't clear out their stuff" jacen said as he looked at old painting and wooden statues. He had all ready faught three suits of armor. Suddenly he felt A vibration on his back. Jacen withdrew his sword from the shith on his back. The sword had A light glow. As he pointed the sword in different directions the sword glowed brighter. "I think I should go this way" jacen said as he went in the direction the sword glowed brightest. He came into A kitchen and saw A girl with knives aimed at her. One of the knives went at her. Jacen ran up to the girl and blocked the knive. "Are you o.k" jacen asked and the girl nodded.

[terra]

"Thanks," Terra said. "Nice swordsmanship. I sure wish I'd brought something from home besides my wits."

"That might've been intelligent," Jacen agreed. "Let's get out of here. Kitchens full of knives that come alive just do not seem like a good place to be."

Terra glanced back at the girl's reflection and noticed her eyes were turning red. "I'd say," she said, and they ran out of the kitchen and slam the doors shut. "Now what are we going to do?" she asked. "We should search for the others, but how will we find them ..."

Her speech drifted off as a female ghost dressed in an ornate ballroom gown drifted towards them. "Someone ... needs your help ..." she whispered. "Caught in a game of cards ... that is really a game of life and death."

"Where?" Terra asked.

The ghost pointed at a door. Without hesitation, Terra and Jacen opened it and ran inside.

[rokas]

Pulse pounded into his head, making coloured lines appear in front of his eyes. The game, itself, was silly. The cards had some symbolic pictures drawn on them and a title (like "justice" card had a blindfolded woman with a sword in one hand and scales in the other). Richard's, head was filling up with different ideas, the most comforting one was that the whole thing was only a commercial stunt, made by the company selling the strange symbolic cards. That way, he would be only imagining that man before him radiated coldness and evil and that his life deppended on that "game". Though, Richard knew he couldn't just have simply "imagined" what he felt, he knew it was real.
But the game still seemed silly. There was basicaly no point to it all there was, were twelwe face-down cards on the table and a turn each to pick a card. Richard had so far picked "Courage", "Chance" and "Justice" the cloaked man had picked "Power", "Time" and was picking a third card when he said:
"We have visitors"-His red, faceless eyes gleamed in the shadow of the hood. Sudddenaly he hit a cristall ball in the middle of the table, with his boney palm.
It was as if the ball exploded, a force ran through the room, which now changed shape, it was round, like the ball itself. It seemed that it took richard forever to turn his head back and see two kids standing in what had to be a doorway. Then they dissappeared, together with the force that filled the room. As he turned back Richard noticed two smokky figures drifting inside the Chrystal ball.
"Is that them?"
"Play,"- was all that the man said.
"It is them.Let 'em go,"-his woice quivered a litle.
"Your turn,"- man picked a card from the table. It was "Duel".
Anger blanced out all the other emotions inside Richard, He no longer wanted to play some stupid game, he no longer wanted to fear the hooded man, but what he realy wanted was his friends.
"NO!"-Richard hit the ball with his fist and unnecspectadly smashed it. the effect was the same as when the man hit the ball, only now a dark hand of energy materialized where the ball was and grabbed Richard. It pulled him in to drowsines, darkness into something inside it. He couldn't fight it. He felt tired...
Something stabbed him right in the palm. Pain jolted through the arm, shocking him into awackeness. He pulled back, something new was holding on to him but it wasn't draging him back it was helping him, pushing him. He got back full control of his body, he got hold of the new energy and pulled it hard.

Two of them dropped outside the blank wall and landed on hard, stone floor.
"Where's Jacen?" Terra asked imediately.
"That man took him." Richard rubbed his hand. Jacen had obviousy stabbed him with his sword while in smoke form to wake Richard up, that's why he couldn't grab him in time.
"Stop, you cannot do this, it's not right." A female ghost was standing in front of a group of angry looking male ghosts.
"Why should we stop? They came here by free will, now they will suffer the consiquenses." On of the angry ghosts eyed two kids.
"Do you have any dignity left, can't you see right from wrong any more?..."
Something jumped in Richards mind. It all fit up. He looked at the cards he was still holding. Courage, Chance and Justice, it all happened, courage was when he stood up against the hooded man, chance was when he broke the chrystal ball and justice was what the she-ghost just said. On the other hand-what if he was only imagining the link between the cards and reality, what about the mans cards? Power, simply enough that must have been the chrystal ball, Time- Richard looked at his watch, it was showing exactly midnight, but clock struck twelwe when they entered and that was long time ago. And Duel...
"We have to go," Tera nudged him, not turning away from the angry ghosts. "Or be eaten"
they moved slowly down the corridor away from the ghosts.
They walked

"O.k so you want A fight i'll give you one" jacen said to the gohst who took him after saveing richard. The ghost didn't say any thing and made A black shining sword appear in his hands. Jacen with drew his sword and it was glowing. The ghost swung his sword at jacen but jacen blocked it. A couple of minutes after the fight began the ghost had jacen down. "I wounder what would happen if I tried this" jacen said as he held the handle of his sword in his right hand and the blade in left. He struck the blade to the floor and A hole opened below him. As the ghost made A swing for him he fell through the hole. "Man that smarts" jacen said as he landed in A hallway on his back. "Might as well look for the others because by my guess they're not doing so well" jacen said as he got up and went through the hall way.
