Mr. Enfield stood up, walking over to the group. "Oh, don't be scared now. It's just little old me, I don't bite. Usually," he laughed for a long while, seemingly never pausing for breath, before continuing. "Welcome to my home. I dearly hope you will enjoy your stay here." he said.
"Usually?" Maisie asked after Mr. Enfield had stopped talking. What the hell does usually mean?"
She didn't trust him. Not one bit. And second of all, she wasn't going to give her name to some old man that made her feel unsafe around him. She hated that feeling and just wished the man would disappear.
Jax stepped back as the man spoke, whimpering as he laughed. "I'm- I'm Jax," she muttered, her eyes flicking to the ground. The girl's legs were shaking as muddy water seeped through her tattered shoes and threadbare socks, and she shuddered as a breeze blew by.
"Jax, what a lovely name. I just might have to steal it for myself, yes. Come along inside, I have so much to show you!" he said, not bothering to turn the lights on at all, leaving the house engulfed in darkness.
Steal her name for himself? What type of old man is he? Maisie thought as she hesitantly followed him inside the house. The fact that he hadn't bothered to turn on the lights bothered her. She sighed, trying to tell herself it was just like a haunted house, but with an old man that was probably insane.
Emile looked around, fidgeting with his hoodie. The place was cold, colder than it had been outside, and impossibly dark, and when he looked down the halls he could almost hear howling and screaming. "R-right sir," he said, not wanting to offend this terrifying man.
Jaden frowned at the man's words, tapping their fingers on their other hand as they thought. Fae stories had taught them enough, never give out your real name. "You can call me Jade."
(Wow, there's a reply after I delete mine… Okay, my rude, sarcastic, annoyed self aside, I would like to announce that I am leaving. I feel like my OC will just be disliked, though her entire concept is to show that reputation and past mistakes don't determine who someone truly is. Also, I feel like I'll somehow get kicked out of the plot or kill this entire thing. So, removing what could cause issues, this should be fun. Also, yes, I do like this idea, and please, do have fun. :) )
(Aww, come on! I like Cam! Although, if you feel you need to leave, go ahead! I won’t mind at all, do what’s best for you!)
(Also, I have this tendency to completely kill things, so it's probably best to leave. If you want me to stay, I will.)
(Honestly, do what feels best for you, dude. It’s your choice.)
(I just felt like I killed it since I saw basically all of you guys online yet didn't get a response for three hours. Then I deleted my reply. Also, yeah, I am very sassy when annoyed.. Sorry.)
(No problem dude! Honestly, I was just waiting for others to reply before me because I feel like I get overzealous with replies sometimes.)
(Honestly, same. It's why I didn't reply at some point when this started. I was like, "Now this is basically a one on one. I'll let someone else reply now.")
(Lol yeah. So if you wanna stay go ahead, but otherwise feel free to do whatever!)
(I'm gonna stay. If I do leave, I either felt useless to the entire rp, felt like I killed it, or I somehow recreated my personal life problems that I'm using role play as a distraction from. Cam is loosely based off of me from her personality, issues, and coping mechanisms. I have a much better relationship with my family, though. The demonic reputation is also shared between us… Hah… I can do a crazy while being influenced by negative emotions character well because I basically am one. Again, she's loosely based off of me, but with more dramatic things here and there for backstory purposes and reasons for her to be there.)
(Honestly, projecting is so valid, I do it all the time.)
(Anyways, do you want another Cam moment?)
(Go ahead, if you want to!)
(Okay!)
Cam completely refused to say her name or even go inside. She only sent a glare that was even worse than a death glare towards Mr. Enfield and growled, a bit louder this time so he'd actually hear her. She continued to stand outside, her arms crossed. She wouldn't go in there. She didn't need to be there, so she wouldn't go inside. She refused to be held against her will like this. She felt like this was unnecessary, as if she was being held captive. The thoughts only made her growl louder. She was on the verge of attacking, barely keeping herself from doing so, her reputation proving itself there, showing that she is not to be messed with.
Maisie stopped and glanced outside where Cam was still standing. She hadn't even moved one bit since the others had gone inside. She quickly walked back outside and stood near the door, looking at Cam. "Are you coming or are you going to stand there? Go ahead and stay there all night if you want, it's obviously not my problem, but it'd be better if you come inside. I know what you're thinking. You don't like him, neither do I, but look, at the moment we're all stuck here and we can't do much about it."
"I don't just dislike him…I want to murder him…" Cam growled underneath her breath, shaking a bit from all of the rage. She then broke her glare and turned to Maisie. "I was trying to find a way out of here. I'm sure that none of us belong here! There are so many things wrong with this place and who's running it just because of the motives that it has! I thought that I could find my escape and get as far away from here as possible, but that doesn't look like much of an option anymore… I don't want to give in, but where I'd end up if I ran away is worse, seeing that my disappearance would be noticed.. No point in continuing to stand in the rain, I guess." She sighed in defeat as she stepped inside, fighting her thoughts of rebelling.
Jax finally entered the building, looking around at the darkened house. "I don't wanna stay here," she mumbled. "'s creepy." The girl was shaking less now, but her hands still trembled as she adjusted her mask. "Wanna go home."
(Terribly sorry for not being here… I was in trouble for something oops. How should I hop in?)
(Any way you like!)
