~Okay here it is~

Tela<3sHaldir
~Well start us of~

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila woke up. The water was warm today from the sun shinning down through the clear sky. She swam over to her mirror and put her usual aray of sparkles in her strawberry blonde hair. Her aqua colored eyes, a very rare and unusual color for a mermaid shimmered. She changed into a red shell bra (( do they use those? I only know about Mermaids from The Little Mermaid lol )) She smeared some more sparkles on her arms and over her cleavage. She loved sparkles! As she got ready to face another day in what humans new so little about she thought about what she was going to do.

Tela<3sHaldir
Zane had been up early before light. He was already trying to make money for his family. It was helping. He sat at the store. Selling stuff and being still was not his nuthing, but it was his turn. Tatyana and Tiffany were looking for jobs.

BidMyBlood2Run
(( Do they have things that humans would have? such as back packs? or would a back pack me an empty shell with strips of plants for shoulder straps? ))

Tela<3sHaldir
(((I think it would be a regular back pack.)))
Zane looked around at the other stores and their customers.

*- - -*
~Yeah, they would probably be normal things found by certain merpeople called scavengers who swim around all day and then sell their findings to store owners.~

Chenelle woke up to a sharp pain in her cheek. She got up and looked down. She had been sleeping on a small pile of jewels. She must have fallen asleep on them after she got home the night before. She picked up a large green emerald. She had just found it last night, it was the newest to her collection. She was quite pleased with her self. Putting it down, she swam to her dresser. She pulled out a silver top and tied it around her torso. She took a ruby encrusted comb and set her hair up with it. Feeling satisfied with her appearence, she swam out of her room.

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila swam past her parents on the way out of the house. They were too busy with their newborn baby daughter to be concerned with her. Funny, they would give her all the money she wanted, but their attention was reserved for the newest member of the family. She wasn't the kind of mermaid to get jealous, but it got annoying. With her pocketbook strapped around her she swam into town to shop.

*- - -*
Chanelle swam down to the kitchen. It was still early, everyone else was asleep. She grabbed a handful of spiced seaweed and left.

LarryTheArch
"!Lord LTA of the merfish has arrived at his Royal Palace!"

*trumpets sound from the royal palace as the Royal King swims up wearing a flowing tunic that seems not 2 be wet at all. The Trident that is strapped 2 his slightly scaled back glows with a magical quailty that only the Merpeople could produce (that means dont mess with me)*

*- - -*
Chanelle watches as the king goes past.

LarryTheArch
Thaylaaxil watches his Queen watch him

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila can hear the trumpet from the palace, but continues to shop. Many of the merpeople go to oogle over their king.

*- - -*
~Thats right! I totally forgot I was gonna be Queen! eek! Bonus!~

LarryTheArch
Where is Lila!!!!
the Royal Dresser should be here by now!

*- - -*
~Are you sure she wants to be?~

LarryTheArch
Well she is my prime choice... unless That NPC wants 2 be it

BidMyBlood2Run
(( what? me? Lila is the royal dresser? ))

*- - -*
~Who?~

LarryTheArch
((if she wants 2 be!))



"I AM ANNOUNCING A NEW ROYAL COMMANDMENT! A NEW MILITIA WILL BE FORMED IN THE KINGDOM OF NEWER YORKUS TOO DEFEND AGAINST THE ATtACKS OF ANTALANTIA!!!"

BidMyBlood2Run
(( and what exactly does the royal dresser do? shifty ))

LarryTheArch
((gives lapdances. NOT! U basically go out and shop for the best cltohes for the King! Then U show me what 2 were it mornings, I dress MYSELF, then ur dun 4 the day. ocassioanlly u get paid 500 Denirks))

*- - -*
Chenelle swims up to her king. "Hello!" she says smiling.

BidMyBlood2Run
(( that's all? She doesn't get to assist him in dressing? what a rip off. I like the lap dancing better, even though mermen don't exactly have laps... *thinks for a moment* I guess Lila does need a job.. she'll do it. ))

*- - -*
~She better not give him lapdances!mad Kidding!! big grin~

LarryTheArch
((the perks: occasioanlly gets 2 dress up the king. 500 Denerks is like 200000 bucks.. i guess
the bad things:when ur called, u come))

hello my Queen!!!
*kisses his Queen passionatly be4 the Royal Guard escorts them both into the palace*

*- - -*
"Whoa, hey!" Chanelle laughs, pulling back. "Save something for the wedding!"

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila quickly swam back to the couryard, carrying bags of clothes with her. She manuvered her way through the crowd of admireres of the king.

*- - -*
Chanelle follows her fiance` into the palace.

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila makes her way into the palace and bows before the royal couple. "Sorry I'm late your Excellency."

LarryTheArch
the wedding is only a few dayz away!

*walks inot the brightly decorated palace courtyards with his Queen-to-be, still barely believing that he was king. Then the thought of how his father had died in the raid, and he saddened visibly*

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila made her way into the royal bedroom to hang up the clothes she had just bout for her king.

LarryTheArch
King Roogna stops and shakes off the sadness

"no worries lila. i see ur looking lovely as ever today! Why, mAy I ask, were u late?"

BidMyBlood2Run
She blushed. "Thank you my lord. I apologize for being late, there was a line in the clothing store."

LarryTheArch
how could there be a line when everyone in the city came 2 "oogle" over me? U were out with sum guy huh!?

BidMyBlood2Run
She looked up at him shocked. "No my lord! Honest, I wasn't!"

LarryTheArch
"whos the lucky guy?"
Roogna's expression quickly shifted from an accusing frown 2 a light-hearted smile.

LarryTheArch
know that my full name is Thaylaaxil Roogna

BidMyBlood2Run
She looked down and blushed again. "I wish there was a lucky guy, King Roogna."

Darth Revan
Ewan woke up suddenly at the sound of trumpets. ((even though I don't think a trumpet would work underwater...))Damn! He had overslept again! Maybe if that ******* 'manager' hadn't worked them so hard he would have gotten up in time. He had worked until midnight the day before trying to find the king's lost tunafish. When he finally found it, it had been little more than a skeleton, apparently having been devoured by some seacreature. Upon bringing the news back to the palace, he had been slapped twice and sent to his quarters. Unlike some of the others in the kingdom, he wasn't a slave, but an indentured servant. To him though, it made no difference. It was just as bad as far as he was concerned.
Coming back to reality suddenly, he grabbed a jacket and headed off to see what he would have to do today.
"What does my lord require of me?" He hated those words. He didn't have anything against the king personally, in fact he thought he was a good leader. The part he hated was how unequal people in the kingdom were.

LarryTheArch
"oh. im sorry Lila. Just Call me Thay."
*hugs Lila*

Darth Revan
Seeing the king hugging his... err... 'dresser' seemed a bit odd to Ewan..

LarryTheArch
Hello Ewan

I want u 2 spread teh the proclomation around the city. *King Roogna handed Ewan a magically dry parchment*
Its a proclomation declaring that all the people are now equal. Everyone is free. Including you Ewan. U r now free, so im offering u the job of Royal messenger. I await ur answer!

LarryTheArch
"Ewan. Lila is one of my closest friends... why, u lyk her or sumtin"

((King Roogna has sum childish tendencies))

ps. most things in the city are migical

BidMyBlood2Run
She hugs him back. "Thank you Thay, but I am sure I shall find someone. Hopefully someone as wonderful as yourself." She said with a smile.

Darth Revan
Ewan is amazed by the king's recent proclamation. Though he doesn't openly admit to liking Lila, he finds it hard to hide the boyish grin on his face as he looks over at her. He takes the magic parchment and swims as fast as his tail will take him to town. On the way there, he sees the evil overseer who is watching all the poor mer-slaves farming seaweed.
"Just where do you think you're going?" came the raspy voice.
"The king has made a proclamation!!" He goes on to read the whole paper. When he's done, the overseer is dumbfounded. The slaves all look up and simultaniously swim out of the field to spread the news. Ewan the goes off to town to tell more people.

LarryTheArch
Thay smiles at Lila "Ewan heres a good merperson, maybe u 2..." Thay winks at Lila

LarryTheArch
"Let me know If u want the job!" Thay shouted after Ewan
soon after an angry Overseer entered the Royal Chamber, rudely remarking 2 Lila as he passed her. Soon he approached. "WHAT is going on! Surely U dont mean that all of the Slaves are free!" "Sorry, but my father isnt ruling anymore. Things are going 2 change around here, and for the better! My father was a good ruler, but some of his polocies were not as very smart. From now on U leave Lila alone as well!" The Overseer hands moved 2 the Waterloggne Dagger strapped 2 his belt. Thay moved his hand 2 his extremely powerful magical Trident, and the overseer backed off adn stormed out of the castle.

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila blushed and glanced away in the direction Ewan has swam away in even though he was long gone. "I don't know my lord.. I mean Thay... He is indeed a wonderful merman, but I unfortunately don't think he likes me like that."

(( this should go before the fight between the two men ))

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila watched the two fight as she swam a couple feet away from the two men.

Darth Revan
Ewan swam back in excitedly, and somewhat winded. "Of course I'll take the job!!" He kneels and kisses the ground before the king's feet. (and no, Ewan is not gay, this is a traditional merperson gesture of respect) He looks at Lila and it should be obvious that he likes her, though he also thinks that she is too good for him.

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila glances at Ewan and blushes as she remember what King Thay had said. She feels like she's staring at him, and glances away, feeling the smile upon her lips.

*- - -*
Chanelle breaks in, and pulls Thay away. "Hey, baby. You seem a little to close to a certain mermaid in this room for my taste." she said slyly. She looked at Lila, a look was warning her about moving in on her man.

*- - -*
~Chee, just makin' it interesting.~

*- - -*
~Chanelle doesn't really like Lila, she thinks she and Thay are too close, since Thay knew Lila longer than Thay knew her.... ok with you all?~

BidMyBlood2Run
(( fine with me ))

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila looked at the soon to be queen strangely, and then began to slowly swim away to the bedroom where she would put away the king's new clothes.

*- - -*
Chenelle narrowed her eyes at the mermaid swimming away. She knew she was being jealous, but after all, jealousy ran in her family.

~I like my characters to be conflictios, conlitciononous, um, I don't know what the word is..... I like them to have conflict.... sometimes, I go through huge long rpgs and none of the players have conflicts, and it just doesn't seem right, you know? But Chenelle might warm up to Lila someday.... big grin~

Tela<3sHaldir
~Okay I'm lost~
Zane watched all the action. Tatyana swam beside him. "Never a dull day here right." she said sarcastically. Her backpack was slung over her shoulder.

Zane shrugged. He yawned before smiling at his oldest sister. "Wanna go to the surface?"

Tatyana shook her head. "Nothing too see up there. It's boring, but now that I think about It's the same way down here."

The Force
~alright b4 i join in could someone tell me what's going on?~

Tela<3sHaldir
~Wish I knew, Force~

Darth Revan
Well king LTA and his queen *-----* or whatever her name is are in the throne room and Lila was but she swam away just now I am also in there but I probably have work to do sooo... Really depends on your character--their job, etc.

Ewan bows before the king and asks: "What else would you have me do, my lord?"

The Force
Johannes swam up to the surface, and looked around, he could hear the seagulls, but he couldn't see anyone. He dove back down then swam up really fast, and jumped out of the water anbd did a couple flips, then he came back down. Then went back underwater.

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila finished with her chore and swam out of the palace, but not without bowing before Thay and bidding him good day with a warm smile.

Darth Revan
Ewan suddenly got a burst of confidence and swam after Lila. He found her outside the palace. "I was wondering if you wanted to.. uh.. have dinner with me tonight?" There. He had said it.

BidMyBlood2Run
She stopped swimming and looked at him. She thought he was the shy guy who served the king, just as she, except he was of lower status. She had talked to him a lot among her chores and duties, but she never thought he would ask her out. "Dinner?" She repeated. Slowly a smile crossed her lips. "Yeah, dinner sounds great."

Darth Revan
Ewan couldn't help smiling. For a moment he couldn't talk. "Great. What time?"

Tela<3sHaldir
Zane looked at Tatyana. "Any luck on a new job?" he asked.

Tatyana shook her head. "Tiffany's lucky you know. She's beautiful and can find a job anywear she wants. I'm surprised she doesn't have a husband yet." she said laughing.

Zane looked at his sister. "And you?"

Tatyana laughed again. "My only concern is to make sure your safe at all time little brother."

BidMyBlood2Run
She thought for a moment. "How about six o'clock?"

*- - -*
~Chenelle is engaged to the King Thay, and they r gonna get married soon. But Thay knew Lila long before Thay knew Chenelle, so Chenelle is jealous. And Ewan likes Lila. And I think thats all that happened, I didn't exactly read it allembarrasment...~

Darth Revan
"Sure. Six o clock. See you tonight," he said, still amazed at his luck. He turned and swam back towards the palace.

BidMyBlood2Run
"Bye." She said returning his smile. She then swam away to shop for herself.

Tela<3sHaldir
Tatyana had started towards the same direction and bumped into Ewan. "Sorry, wasn't paying attention where I was going." she said nonchalantly.

Darth Revan
"That's okay," Ewan said, still smiling innocently. He swam back to the palace and went into his room. He went to the small cabinet he had, dug a can of fish out from the mess inside, and started eating.

Tela<3sHaldir
Tatyana was reading a book as always. She swam with her nose stuck in it.

Darth Revan
((*waits for something good to happen*))((DR I mean not Ewan))

Ewan finished eating and flopped down on the small couch that he had salvaged from a shipwreck. He turned on the radio (or whatever the mer-people equivalent is) and glanced down at the heart and his sister's name tattooed on his shoulder. God, he missed her. She had been captured, and presumably either killed or sold into slavery on one of the raids.

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila purchased a red silk button down shirt that looked lovely with her hair. She quickly bought it and swam out of the store and began her way home.

The Force
Joey swam right by Lila, he looked back for a second then kept swimming, he was headed toward his friend theo's house.

Tela<3sHaldir
Tatyana then preceeded to run into Joey. Her book was knocked to the floor. She swam down and retrieved it. "Sorry about that." she said.

VallejoKid707
Theo was at his house and was bored. Today was his day off from work as an police officer.

*- - -*
Chenelle was bored at the palace. Thay was off somewhere, so she swam out of the castle and into a nearbye cave. The cave had some random holes that let in thi beams of light. Chenelle began to slowly dig in the sand. She was looking for something she ad hidden there a while back. She knew she had hidden it there, she just didn't remember what it was.

Darth Revan
Ewan got up from the couch and swam off to the market. He stopped at Zane's shop. He had a lot of different kinds of stuff--a salvaged Nickelback CD, some jewelry, and a lot of mismatched clothing. He found a pair of spiked wristbands that he liked and asked the shopkeeper: "how much are these?"

Tela<3sHaldir
Zane looked at him. "Um... two clams." he said. (((What do they use for money pearls or what?)))

*- - -*
~Sand dollars!! big grin~

Tela<3sHaldir
(((Good Idea)))
Zane chuckled. "Just kidding two sand dollars." He said looking at the stranger. "A nice choice."

*- - -*
~Yurp.~
After a while of digging, Chenelle found a box. She opened it up, letting out a small burst of bubbles. She looked inside. "Aww. Thats lame." she said, disappointed. It was a wooden carving of a mermaid, and not a vry real one at that. "What the hell am I gonna do with this?" she wondered as she swam out of her cave. She decided she'd try and sell it. She walked into the first shop she saw and walked up to the storekeeper. ~Zane.~ "Wanna buy a wooden mermaid?" she asked lamely.

Tela<3sHaldir
Zane arched an eyebrow. "I couldn't if I wanted to. I don't have any money." he said.

*- - -*
"Hmmp. Well, do you want it anyway?" she asked, pushing it over to him.

Tela<3sHaldir
Zane looked at it. He smiled. "thanks." he said setting it up in a spot in his shop.

*- - -*
"No problem." she said. She looked around the store. "I don't think I've ever been in here before." she said, picking up a broken glass elephant and looking at it. "Cool stuff. Where do you buy it all, do you know? Or do you just work here?" she continued, looking at him.

Darth Revan
Ewan dug around in the pocket of his jacket and pulled out two sand dollars. "Here." He put on the wristbands. They were nice, and well worth the "money."

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila decided to swim to the palace to see if there was anything she could do for King Thay before she went home. She searched the palace for him.

Darth Revan
Before leaving, Ewan turned and adressed the shopkeeper. "Oh, by the way, I'm Ewan. Nice to meet you," he said, holding out his hand.

*- - -*
Chenelle watched Ewan introduce himself. She thought him too be a tad strange, introducing himself to a shopkeeper as he was leaving the shop, but she kept it to herself. She slowly flipped through a dog-earred magazine.

Tela<3sHaldir
Zane shook his hand. "The name's Zane." he turned to Chanelle " And my sister Tatyana and I find the stuff and sell it."

*- - -*
"Cool. Maybe I could show you some good spots one day." she said, setting the magazine down. She swam to the door, and waved as she left.

~Ho, I keep almost putting walk instead of swim. messed Very confusing.~

Darth Revan
Ewan suddenly realized how odd he must look doing this, but he was still a little shocked (in a good way) at the king's recent proclamation. As a result, he had been feeling quite confident.

*- - -*
~Whoa, you'r dudes like, psychic! wacko Amazing planets!! ~

Tela<3sHaldir
Zane smirked as his sister swam in. "Any luck?" she asked.

"Got new merchandise and that gentleman." *points to Ewan* "Bought the wristbands you found." he said.

Tatyana laughed. "Really?"

BidMyBlood2Run
"My Lord?" Lila called as she swam about the palace.

*- - -*
Chenelle swam back to the palace. Iside she bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm sor-" she began to apoligize kindly, but then she saw it was Lila. "I'm sorry." she finished, her voice icy-cold. She swam away quickly, and her jeweled hair comb began to fall out. She took it out and replaced it in her hair, as she swam into a side room. She went to the window and looked out at the city. At first glance, it was a beatiful thing. But then you began to notice ugly stains on wall, trash floating around and sickly lookng merpeople. She sighed, and looked down. She saw her mother, Jill, approaching the palace door. "Mum!" she called, swimming out the window and down to her mother.

Darth Revan
((heh my guy's a mer-punk stick out tongue))

*- - -*
~My girls a mer-loner...~

Tela<3sHaldir
(((Completely cool)))

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila fell back a little. "Sorry Miss Chenelle." She said quietly and swam away thinking 'Jeez, you're not queen yet.' as she reflected upon her rude apology.

*- - -*
~big grin embarrasment~

*- - -*
~Maybe I should stop having my character be SO mean....~

The Force
Joey picked up the girl's books, and gave them to her "It's ok." He smiled then swam off to theo house. Joey got there and knocked on the door.

BidMyBlood2Run
(( I don't care if she's mean.. it's just a character, it's not you ))

*- - -*
~yup, yup. good point.~

The Force
~i am so totally freakin lost~

BidMyBlood2Run
(( what are u lost about? ))

*- - -*
~Yus, maybe we can help you find your waywink Or at least explain things to you....~

The Force
~well i just want to know where this place is set, is there a palace or a castle, is their even a MerArmy? y'know just shizzle like that~

*- - -*
~Yup, yup, and I'm not sure. We're in an under water kingdom, off the coast of New York.~

The Force
~what?!?!?! why new york, we should be in the pacific big grin~

*- - -*
~Because the pacific isn't very polluted, and this isn't happyland here, we want it realisticstick out tongue~

The Force
~it doesn't have to be happy, there more sharks in the pacific stick out tongue, but i'll just say that my char. came from the pacific~

Tela<3sHaldir
Tatyana chuckled. "I've come to relieve you."

VallejoKid707
Theo's sister Starla answered the door. "Theo its for you!!!!. He'll be right down." Starla flipped her hair trying to impress Joey. "So how you doin?"

The Force
Joey... noticed. "Hey i'm fine, how are you doin?" Joey winked at Starla.

Tela<3sHaldir
Tatyana sighed as she watch mermen flock her sister. She rolled her eyes. Zane growled. The merguys were making him sick.

VallejoKid707
Theo came to the door. "Ok Starla go away. Ay wassup Joey!"

The Force
Joey watched as starla swam away, then turned his attention to Theo "Hey man, wassup, dude i'm bored do you wanna go do somethin?"

Darth Revan
Seeing as there are a lot of people in here that he doesn't know, Ewan decides to go have some lunch. He swims into a small cafe nearby and orders a seaweed salad and a bowl of shark fin soup.

*- - -*
Chenelle swam to her mom. "Hey! Whats up?" she asked her mom smiling.
"Oh, Jimmy wanted to ask you something. He said he wanted to be best man in the wedding. Now, I told him that he was already being allowed to be ringholder~I think thats what they r...~ but he seems to have his heart set on bestman." Jill said, flushing with embarresment. Chenelle looked confused then unsure and finally, a little worried.
"I'm not sure Mum. I'd have to ask Thay..." she said slowly.

Darth Revan
((who's Jimmy?))

Anyways, it was 3:00 in the afternoon, so Ewan figured he'd better get back to the palace. Once there, he found Chenelle. "Is there anything you would have me do, m'lady?"

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila had searched the whole palace for her King, but he was no where to be found. Of course she only went in the areas where she was allowed. There were many more places he could be.

*- - -*
~Jimmy is Chenelle's little brothersmile~
"Oh, no thank you Ewan." she said smiling.

VallejoKid707
''Yeah we can check out that new amusement park."

BidMyBlood2Run
She swam out of the palace and began on her way home to get ready for her date.

LarryTheArch
((Im back baby!!!!!!!))

The king woke up suddenly on his bed, a stream of snot flowing from his nose, his throat incredibly sore, and a doctor uhhh doctoring over him. "How much longer am I gonna be sick?" he asked. "another day or so." "tell Lila and Ewan they have the day off, and get the queen in here please"

Darth Revan
((woohoo no work!!!))((hmm what do mer-men wear on dates?))

Tela<3sHaldir
Tatyana sat a plate of food down in front of Zane. He smiled and quickly ate it. "Thanks, Taty, it was delicious." he said wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

Darth Revan
Ewan bowed his head slightly in a gesture of respect and went back to his room.

The Force
"Sounds awesome." Joey agreed

VallejoKid707
"I know the secuirty guard there, he'll get us in."

BidMyBlood2Run
Lila got the message she had the day off. She got ready for her date, wearing the red silk shirt she just bought. She tied it so it exposed her stomach, and didn't bother to button it. It didn't show anything unless she moved a certain way, and mermaids weren't shy at all about their bodies. Her tattoo was also visible on her back. She ran some sparkles through her hair, and then put some on her stomach. She found a special diamond necklace her father bought for her on her sixteenth birthday. She loved how it sparkled. She couldn't believe he got her something so beautiful. That was before their new child came into the world.
Lila decided to swim to the palace to see how her king was doing before she went on her date.

*- - -*
Chenelle was told that the King wanted her, so she swam to the room where he was. "Hello?" she called into the room.

The Force
"You do?! Alright let's go now!" Joey said as he swam off towards the amusement park."

~that be one strange amusement park~

*- - -*
~Why's that?~

The Force
~well i can't really imagine a real working amusement park under the sea~

*- - -*
~Hmm. Maybe they made it waterproof or something, or they use mer-magic! stick out tongue But thats a good point. I doubt merpeople would use an amusement park anyway....oh well. Its just and rp, right?smile~

The Force
~i'd bet it does work on mer-magic laughing out loud ya your right it is just an rp big grin~

*- - -*
~Mm-hmm!yes~

The Force
~and i guess that the mer-elders know the magic confused~

*- - -*
~Yup. I'll bet some stingy old mer-elder runs the amusment park...~

The Force
~lol, hope he's not to stingy~

*- - -*
~Maybe he is? And maybe he isn't. stick out tongue~

BidMyBlood2Run
(( waits for LTA so they can continue LOL ))
