Guardians of the Realm-Alice

[Puck]

Wind howls and thunder rumbles through thick grey clouds. Massive waves crash along the shores of a rocky precipice. A sensation of predatory anticipation sings through the air as the small isle is rocked by the furious touch of nature. A masculine voice rises on the wind before a wave crashes down from the ground to strike a giant figure. The creature battered by the current twitched in agony. Its mandibles clacked as the red carapace on its body dented from the force of the liquid. Drops of black moisture spilled from the hair thin lines splintering its chest and the insect shaped mass curled in on itself and shuddered, retreating from the force driven through it.

“Back to whence you came Demon.” A strong voice whispered before a sensation of ancient fury fills the air. Following the motion of a figure near six feet tall with a voluminous cape stream after stream of black liquid rushed from the insect and hovered in the air. In minutes a large black ball of glimmering liquid floated above a crushed up shell.

“You are no match for us.”

====================

Alice abruptly awakens to find herself drenched in sweat. The aftermath of the dream was fast fading, but a sense of something more lingered. The house was quiet as usual. Her dad was away, and the silence welcomed her with open arms. Her packet of schoolwork was where she left it yesterday. Other than that there is nothing pressing. Maybe she can go down to the local pool and swim.

\\\\k so were gonna do the one shot thing until we get 1 more person Ill post the background info and other stuff like npc profiles somewhere or another, will see where.

(ooc: I was hoping that my house had a pool lol no biggie ;D )

Alice awoke from, what was probably the weirdest dream she'd ever had..what was all those things talking about? Was it something from one of her novels? Or maybe some English/history homework? Whatever it was, it wasn't good..

After something like that, homework doesn't sound too appealing. Besides, she was drenched in sweat..she had to go rinse her body off..time to head for the pool too wash up and cool off! After that, maybe a shower. She gets her towel ready, and goes to get her bathing suit. She puts her bathing suit on under her shirt and shorts, then heads off to the pool. (ooc: You decide if its at home or the local pool )

"Still..that was a weird dream..no, i shouldnt think too much about it..might have been the TV turned on last night..whatever.." She thinks trying to shake the dream away.

ON her way out the door Alice's eye catches on her baby. A delux pool eight feet deep drained in her backyard. She still wasn't sure what was wrong with ti. The filter had been checked and the body seemed to be solid. But her dad had insisted, on one of the rare times he was here that it was broken. And since he drained it and left her no easy means to set up she was forced to resort to the Public pool.

The Public pools, despite being public were still pretty nice. There was a cute dark haired lifeguard a year or two older than her on duty. He always gave her a passing nod and grin. At the moment he was reading a large textbook. That was fine, this early in the morning he was mostly just decoration. This was the time athletes, professionals, and competitors came. Before children could overrun the place. The mornings here were awesome.

One lane of the deep pools was open. A couple were racing each other back and forth in the lanes next, and the other side was empty altogether. Two people in a pool that could easily fit eight racers.

\\ill compromise, since wealth isnt a modifier you have

"Well, guess i'll have to make due." Alice says walking to the public pool. Sure it wasn't quiet there, but it was sure not to have kids there. That was at least good..

When she gets there, she sees the handsome lifeguard that works there. She smiles in her own shy way at him, but then goes to a changing booth. (ooc: Assuming there is one ) She takes off her clothes, and already has her bathing suit on. So, time of a little swim. Nothing big, just a dip in the pool for now. She jumps in, and feels the relaxing feel of cool water on her body. So nice..she just sits in one area taking in the feeling of the water. Half her head/face is in the water as she's enjoying it all.

For a time Alice treads water and relaxes. The soft sounds of the pool slowly fade as she's overcome by the comforting sensations of home. The water welcomes her if a whole new way. Promising rest, rejuvenation, and safety. She finds herself extremely content simply be. Tranquil and serene as the pool itself.

Abruptly Alice can feel herself dragged under the water. The moment of panic one finds when they believe their drowning flares up. Despite struggles she can't move. She's drug to the bottom of the pool by currents of slow moving liquid. It shouldn't be possible but it is. It holds her beneath it for ten minutes. Breathing does not seem to be an problem. Despite being in a position to drown she still feels content, safe.

Looking around Alice can see the beginnings of something in the water around her. Colors, varying degrees of blue shades in the liquid. Faster and faster they swim around the girl. They blend and melt, darkening and shading until theirs a face staring at her. Dark toned and strong features. A handsome man. As he opens his mouth to speak bubbles drift out. He favors Alice with a quick grin before he blows the bubbles away and tries again.

Before he can utter a peep Alice finds a pair of strung arms circle her waist and feels herself being pulled up. The image in the water fades as she breaks the surface and finds herself towed to the poolside and promptly given CPR by the hot slightly frantic lifeguard.


\edited! assigning you a color, shade of blue please for speech text

Alice breathes for air! Coughing all the water in her system out. She feels like shes gonna throw up, but that feeling passes after 20 seconds. She's a bit confused as to what happened. She was being pulled down, the water was doing..weird stuff..a face appeared and blew bubbles at her, and then she was being revived with CPR? She held her hand to her head as it all was being summarized in her head. It must have been a dream, but it was all way to real, right? Alice snaps out of the moment to heavily thank the lifeguard. She shows her appreciation with a hug, a nice sincere hug while thanking him continuously.

[Puck]

The lifeguard sputters and awkwardly pats Alice across the shoulders. By the back of his neck he seems to be rather embarrassed, to the amusement of the spectators. Looking on Alice catches sight of a boy. Standing apart and near the entrance he seems nondescript. Brown hair, brown eyes. Yet something about him is familiar, almost welcoming. A kinship, like Alice's old stuffed toys. It was a primal thing, stranger more so after the occurrence only moments ago.

"Ah, senorita, it is quite all right, if you would ah..relinquish me?" The lifeguard says after a moment.

[Ushima911]

"R-relinquish you? What do you mean..?" Alice asks.

(ooc: Really, idk what it means )
