While visiting your home town, the last thing you expected to happen was to wander into a Yokai's domain. Yet, that's exactly what happened. While taking a walk at night to unwind from the day, you see an odd light in the distance. Curious, you decide to check it out. As you walk through the forest, you can see the light growing brighter with each step, and eventually, you can see the source. Two long rows of torches lit by blue flames, lighting the worn stone path. The blue flames are unnatural and make you hesitate, but seeing as you had come this far already, you decide to find out where the path leads. At the end of the path lies an old temple, you can tell that in its prime it had been a regal structure, but now it seems to have been abandoned for several decades. Which leaves you with several questions: Who had lit the torches? How were they blue? Who had the temple been dedicated to? And why was it now abandoned? Looking up at the blue-hued moon, you realize that no time has seemingly passed since you entered the forest. Cautiously, you enter the temple, hoping to find some answers. Upon entering the dark temple, blue flames suddenly burst into existence, forcing you to shield your eyes from the brightness. After a moment, you open your eyes to see large dragon statue staring down at you. It wasn't what you were expecting, but what surprises you more is the person sleeping as they leaned against the dragon statue. Something draws you to move closer to the person, and as you kneel down next to the person, you reach for their face. when their hand suddenly grabs your wrist. Their ocean colored eyes snap open and lock on you, a mixture of surprise and annoyance swirling within the two turquoise orbs. After a few seconds of silence, the man lets go of your wrist and sits up. Without a word, the man walks towards the entrance to the temple and opens the doors, gesturing for you to leave. Confused by the whole encounter, you follow his instructions. You step outside and turn back to the man, puzzled. He finally speaks to you, warning that it is dangerous here for a human and that you should leave before its too late. You try to ask what he means by that, but he makes no effort to explain further. Before shutting the door, the man gives you one last piece of advice. Do not wander off the path. And with that, you are alone again. Making sure to stay on the path, you ponder why he said that. After what feels like an eternity, you finally leave the forest, just in time to see the sun begin to rise. You decide to return the next night, to figure out who that man was, and why you felt something pulling you back to that place.
- Just post a simple form like mine and jump in.
- The RP will start with your character returning the following night.
- The general story will be about your character becoming entranced with the Yokai domain and Ryuu himself. After a little while, it becomes too dangerous for your character and Ryuu tries to keep him from coming back by making the temple unable to be seen by your character. But as Ryuu watches him keep returning each night, even after he cannot see the temple, Ryuu is forced to confront his own feelings.
- I'm all for dramatic plot twists. ie. your character being lured off the path and kidnapped by another yokai (prompting Ryuu to try to keep him from returning for his own safety), or even potentially having your character become a yokai after spending too long in the yokai realm (and them either trying to return your character back to human form, or your character wanting to remain as a yokai).
(( Sorry if all this is kinda confusing... If you have any questions, just ask~! ))
