A currently unknown student walked the rolling hills of the Hogwarts grounds. He walked with an odd gate to his step, like he was half dancing half walking. He lips moved almost silently, singing under his breath. The wind blew lightly from the lake, throwing up with it the smells of the water. The wind disturbed the students purple locks slightly, and he pushed them out of his eyes.
He shifted his shoulders slightly as he readjusted his black leather coat and shifted his knees as he pulled his sliding pants up a bit. His pants were worn completely in the knees, though he refused to repair or get a new pair. He also had a black t-shirt with "Fall Out Boys" on it.
"Say a prayer but let good times roll. In case God doesn't show. Let the good times roll" he sang under his breath
Billy was sitting by an old tree trying to clear his mind by writing poems until he heard someone walking and sorta singing than Billy saw a guy walking and he gathered all his things and he just carried his poem book with him as he followed the guy for a little while trying to figure out how he could say hi and maybe mak a new friend or atleast someone to help him find his way back to the castle Billy looked up at the guy and saw his shirt so taking a chance billy walked up next to the guy "nice shirt man" said billy trying to act like he knew what he was doin
(you know that "Thnks Fr th Mmrs" is the title of that song)
((Yea, but that was a better title))
The kid stopped singing softly and looked at the other boy with half lidded uncaring eyes. It was how he looked at most people anymore, a neutral uncaring way brought on by his father.
"Thanks" he said, with a tone of being half asleep, though he was wide awake.
Rhyme didn't really know the kid, but he didn't know anyone at all really for that matter. He just got sent here from the States so he didn't even get much of the language. What were bangers? And what was with everyone saying 'bloody?' Britain was really weird.
((Why don't you try improving your RPing while you RP with me? I can actually give you structure that most others won't, and then when you get better you can brag about it. Also, watch grammar, I am not that good at it myself so I normally type it in a word file with spell check.))
((Here, this can help you. 1) What is your character thinking? 2) What does your character look like? 3) Why is your character there? 4) Why did your character just do what he did? These and other questions can help you lengthen your post. It comes with time though And as you can see with mine, if you don't give much, you don't get much back and you get stuck with a bad 1 line RP))
((better))
Albus was sitting high up in a tree. He heard something belowhim and he looked down. There he saw two boys. Both hadn't he seen before.
Albus liked to sit in high trees. It maked him relax and just float away. Well.... I think I'm going down there to meet those guys... But I am way much younger... Albus thouhgt too himself. He took a little brown hair away from his face so that his sight could be better.
He quickly jumped down and landed on his feet. But it was a bit too much for his feet so he fell on his back.
He quickly got up again and approached the two boys. " Hi! I havn't seen you guys here before. What is your names?" With his regular voice.
((Much better Billy, and truthfully it will come with time as you better understand your character. But if you let yourself just post one liners...you learn nothing about your character and get stuck posting that short.))
Rhyme looked up at the boy, a bit uncomfortable around all the people. His left foot went back, as he took a half step, weakening his general stance. He was normally a very private person, brought up with a close nit family, he didn't see much of other people. Even then his home life had challenges, his father was one of them, and mental scars still showed strongly in Rhyme's mind.
"...um...I am Rhyme." he said, a small waver to his voice.
Too many people...WAY too many people his mind raced franticly.
Noelle sat, reading her book peacefully. She heard people talking softly nearby and quickly glanced up from the pages. There was three boys talking. She hadn't met any of them before so she decided maybe it was best to just keep to herself. She flipped the next page, still eavesdropping on their conversation. She usually would have jumped up and sprinted over there to indroduce herself. Normally she would have been bubbly and outgoing. But nothing was really normal anymore. So she just sat there, letting the wind ruffle her dark brown locks.
Billy kinda jumped he wasnt excepting someone to just jump in front of them "im Billy Stevens um who are you?" Billy asked looking at the younger boy while he helped the kid up. Billy when the kid was up Billy looked around and saw a girl sitting down and what he thought reading ~i wonder who that is~ he wondered
Kira walked over to the boys becaues she most likely fits there better."Hey i'm Kira you are.?"she said looking at the boy who she was standing next to ((I think your name is Billy)) ........she looked over to the girl and smiled with a little wave then went back to them.

Noelle read Billy's thought's. "My name's Noelle." She said softly, her eyes not leaving her book. "And I'm guessing your Billy."
Her voice was soft as it carried though the wind, being just barely audiable. She fliped another page and slid in a blue bookmark. She pulled over her bag and slid the book into it. She put the brown bag onto her should and slowly stood up. She pushed a dark brown piece of hair behind her ear as she walked over. It was usually hard for her to express much emotion so you couldn't really tell that she was happy to be talking to others. She smoothed out her dark wash skinny leg jeans for they had pieced of grass stuck to them from sitting on the ground.
"Sorry about eavesdropping. It's a bad habbit."
Kira looked over and thought *Hi I am Kira you are?* to Noelle
Al had just finished at the library, and was wondering the hills of Hogwarts.
His black hair covered some of his eyes, swaying in the breeze, and his nose in yet another book he had borrowed from Madame Pince, the librarian, whom he had become very amiable with over the years he spent in there.
He suddenly spotted a group of about 4 or 5 people, and began walking towards them, curious.
One of them looked like Albus.
The others, he didn't know.
He stopped about 5 feet short of where they were.
[[ Hey Harry, do you mind if I could improve my RolePlaying with you? ]]
Kira just stood there a diesided to walk away she thought every thing whould be differnt if she came here but she was wrong the people are loking write though her like she was just a big window and she didn't like that she started to get really mad about it but she just pulled her self together and walked off bumping billy in the shoulder as she walked by "oh.....sorry." she said in a kinda hushed tone sorta way . she went off behind a tree and her eyes started to teer up she didn't know why this was happening she bearly ever cryed the only time she did was when her old friends whould tell a really stupied jock.She finely looked up and saw a kid she has nerver seen befor walk out of the libray.
Rhyme's eyes flashed around at the different people quickly. Giving each a quick glance in slight terror. He was really uncomfortable with so many new people. Their voices, each different, tore into his brain through his sensitive ears. Wincing slightly at the pain he finally answered everyone in turn.
((RP Advice #2: If there are more then 3 people in an RP, do not go too far past the one person or it makes it complicated to post. It is easiest to go in a round robin style, unless the person does not post in a length of time. Normally a day or more))
"I am Rhyme, nice to meet you Noelle and Kira" he said to them, forced and quick from near panic.
When he saw a girl begin to cry behind the tree, he focused his powers and a small voice whispered in her ear. It was Rhyme's voice, though his lips didn't move. It wasn't telepathy, he couldn't do that, but he was good with sounds.
[Do you want to try to get out of here? There are way too many people here]
Kira just looked around not knowing who or what was talking to her *um who are you?* she said not knowing still.
cody was walking around a saw his little sis and walked over to her "hey sis is osmething wrong?" he said as he looked at her and sat down.
Billy just stood there for a while he was stunned about how many people where around him. He wasn't sure how he felt about it than the girl named Kira walked away bumping him and whispering sorry.He felt bad and than heard her crying but felt Rhyme speaking to her so he left her alone.He turned to the girl named Noelle and said "Hey my name is Billy" kinda quite but loud enough for her to hear him
"Noelle Paige." She said back, "I wonder whats wrong with Kira..."
Truthfully she didn't what to know. She hated it when people tried to cause a scene. She hated drama. So she just trailed off, not knowing what else to say. She felt another breeze and her hair fell in front of her eyes. She gentally pushed it away. She couldn't help but think Kira's tears were wasted over her. She didn't know what she did but she figured it was something.
Kira just got up and sotarted walking back tored every body and then she trun and went to the bench and took a sit down.
"um I'm not sure" Billy said worried but he wasn't sure why than he saw her stand up and walk to a bench ~better?~ he asked her through thoughts
`*" Dose it look lilke it?~*" she said back to him.
~umm well~ he wasnt sure what he should say so he just said to Noelle "im gonna go see if shes alright i'll be right back" with that he walked up to the bench "mind if i sit here?"Billy said pointing to a seat at the end of the bench
"No you can."she said looking at him she couldn't belive that someone like him whould want to sit by her.
Seeing she was shocked he smiled and said "thanks" he sat down and was quiet for a moment than remembered " oh yea umm are you ok you seemed upset?"he said still wondering why he cared so much
"Umm I don't know something dosen't feel right you know well of cores not you aren't me no one is like me no one acks like me or dresses in black like me or well i think you get the pictuer."she said.
"well i think we will get along great than" he said pushing his long hair back
"What do you mean that we get along great then?"she said.
"well were alot alike" he said as he moved his foot around the grass waiting for her to answer
"oh I see ."she said and looked at him and smiled.
he sat and smiled at her ~wow~ is all he could think
She chold see he was thinking something and she though she knew what it was.
"so are you alright now" trying to get his mind back to the real world i mean theres no way she would like him
"Umm yeah I think ."she said as she got up and stared to walk a few stepsand she turn back around"You comeing?"she siad .
"what oh yea sure" he said and started to walk beside her
kira was walking a took ahold of his hand and walked right beside him.
he gave it a little sqeeze to reinssure her that he wanted to hold it
Kira stared to laugh hysterically.
he let go of her hand not sure what to do so he just stopped
"Oh my gosh sorry."she said as she looked like a retard.
"oh umm its okay" he said unsure still what she was laughing at i hope it wasnt me he thought to himself
" Oh sorry , Hwat are you thinking??"she said looking down at her feet.
"well im mainly thinking that your laughing at me and i dont like being laughed at"he saidwith some force in his voice than his facal expresstion changed it was now kind "im sorry" he said as he put his arms around her and hugged her
"No I wasn't laughing at you ." she said she backed away.
((OOC: -holds head in pain- Oh the illiteracy))
Rhyme slowly backed out of the mosh of people, backing his way toward the school once more. At least there he could easily here people coming and get out of their way. From what he heard off the echoes and gossip, there were lots of cool secret passages in the school.
As he backed up he found himself slamming into a person walking toward the group as well.
"Sorry dude," he said, turning swiftly around the person, trying to make a dash toward the school.
"oh okay" he said taking a step closer to her he wrapped his arms aound her a gave her a hug
She just stood there and huged him back and took a deep breath.
[[ Ugh, I'm there with you, Harry ]]
[[ Oh, btw, does Rhyme know Al? ]]
[[ Whatever, we'll play along with them not knowing each other. ]]
Al was walking, alone, back from, of course, the library.
He was minding his own buisness, when, out of nowhere, a person ran into him.
Al heard him mumble something, but caught the word "sorry."
S'Alright... he said.
He looked up, and saw an unfamiliar face.
Hi...? he said.
I'm Al... And... You are...? he asked, rather uncertainly.
[[ To Billy and Ms. Kira ]]
[[ Again, I repeat myself. ]]
[[ ONE LINERS DO NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE. ]]
Rhyme gave the kid a frightened look before he quickly swallowed his fear. He had to control himself. Taking a few quick mental breaths he answered.
"Hi Al, I'm Rhyme...and what is up with those people. Is their some curse put over them? They will only move once, say a single sentence and stop, while someone else will do the same. It is like they don't understand that they can talk for long periods of time, or do more then move one body part."
Rhyme cast a fearful look at the people, hoping that he never got put under the same spell, it seemed so boring and it took forever to get anything done. And what about real conversations? It would take forever to get anything said at all.
((OOC: I love the use of half OOC character, like in video games. Anyway, yea, Rhyme doesn't know Al just yet. And posting one liners drain everyone's posting ability, I find myself having a hard time posting long since there is absolutely nothing to go off of. ))
((Also, Ninja? You get to that site I sent you? I didn't see you there yet unless you changed your S/N))
KeKe walked up and saw what was going on " Hey ." she sid even though she didn't know any one.
[[ Harry :: Yeah, I got it. ]]
[[ I'm still trying to understand it though. ]]
[[ I'll figure it out soon. ]]
Al grinned, and said, Nice to meet you.
I dun think they're under a spell... he continued, but, they're definitely too thick to string more than 2 sentences together...
Evidently, they've never heard a full conversation, or don't get out and talk to new people, much...
Wow... Al thought to himself. This guy's really cautious and... superstitious...? Nah, he's just really cautious...
" You to umm what is your name i'm KeKe.?"she siad .She didn't know alot of people but she hoped that whould all change well that wasn't up to her if people didn't like her they don't like her but she just hoped peple do like her.
((If you have any questions, feel free to PM me on either site. I am Van Gogh there...don't ask, long story))
"Good Good," he said, giving one last look back over his shoulder. "So...do you know anything we can do here? I was trying to explore the grounds when I got swamped by all those people. Is the whole school like that? "
Rhyme really hated crowds, especially if people he didn't know. Crowds had so many different voices that didn't harmonize well. Each voice would combine, creating a screeching effect on the walls of his mind. It was horrible. And them not talking to much made it pulse, which was different but still painful.
" Hey I am KeKe you are?"she siad she didn't know him but she didn't know alot of people.
"Hey I am Kira you are KeKe right?"she said as she walked over to her.
Billy walked over to KeKe with "hey im Billy"
"Umm we should hang sometime but I have to do something."she said as she walked off.
"Oh ok bye."she soad then truned around.
Al laughed.
Unfortunately... yes. It does get rather annoying... he said.
I dunno what to do, really. I'm more of a reader and spellcaster... And I train.
He looked at this Rhyme kid, not knowing if he was for real, or if he was just joking.
It almost seemed as he was from another planet or something.
"bye Kira" he said as she walked off he turned around to see if he know then people who were talking and he did he knew Rhyme "hey" he said as he looked at Al "whats your name I'm Billy" he asked
((OOC: Lol, Rhyme kinda is...another forum, and I think he is the first music based character ever here, wasn't one when I first joined and isn't one now.))
((And Billy, you ready to post a decent length again? If not tell us now so we can go somewhere else))
"Cool, I normally train too, though I am not sure where I can do that, my training normally makes a pile of noise." he said as he absently pulled a kunai out of his coat arm.
He then began to throw it absently in the air over and over again as he talked. If Al would have looked closely at Rhyme's one hand he would notice that there was a thin yellow film that glowed over his finger tips when he caught a bladed part during a throw.
"I am glad my MP3 player still works here. Heard gossip around about electronics not, though I don't understand why they wouldn't."
Rhyme didn't know about the workings of electronics. His MP3 player was far from electronic. It was made of pure magic, conjured by his father for him for his 12th birthday. It runs off of Rhyme's own powers and actually has a mental link with Rhyme.
Then, by accidentally he threw his kunai a bit off, having it go in an arc toward the forest. Without a glance at the others he shot his arm out, and a single yellow ribbon, which upon close examination would be shown to be made of musical score, flew out of his one middle finger. It rapped around the ring in the handle of the kunai and made it come back, flying into his jacket arm again.
(I can write long posts but the people I post with normally post short ones and I cant write long ones because like you said they don't go anywhere and it's hard to post with those people so I can write a pretty decent post so you guys can stay and I'll try and make them longer)
Billy wasn't paying that much attention to Al and Rhyme he had his mind on other things. Billy looked over at Rhyme when he brought out a kunai out of his coat arm -I wonder why he carries a gardening tool from Japan with him well some people do sharpen them and use them as weapons- Billy was thinking to himself "Where did you get that" Billy said intrested in it as he watched Rhyme throw it around like he has been using it for a long time "that's really..." he said as he watched it fly out of his hands Billy's mouth flew open as it went right by his head than closed it as Rhyme throw a ribbon and it wrapped its self around the handle and went back in to Rhymes coat arm again "How How did you do that
