tune

so um first of all i don't want anyone to feel like i'm stealing an idea or anything
but i got really inspired by this one name of a thread, "garden of EDEN" or something like that.
so i don't really have a decent plot idea but-
i do have a half-baked plot tho, if that helps

so our characters are in the garden of eden and uh something happens and then they are kicked out into the real world. now, i'm not going to make this religious, but i do know how the beginning of this story goes in the bible. adam and eve are actually nude in the beginning, but um, i prefer that not to happen so, they are not going to be nude, but they basically are going to be helpless in the real world. let me know if you have anything to add to this. and no, it's not going to necesssarily go according to the story, maybe they accidentally stumbled upon something they weren't supposed to find, or did something they weren't supposed to do, or maybe they said something they weren't supposed to say. or disobeyed a rule

idk. but i'm going to lay down some rules
-please don't swear
-i'd prefer it if you had at least a decent rate of response. now, because of school and other things, i understand that you might have school, or maybe you have work. but please, try your best to respond at least once a day, or try to let me know ahead of time that you won't be able to get a reply up. if that's not possible, whenever you get a chance, please let me know what happened. however, forgetting is inexcusable for this rule. please, if you know you have at least a 50% chance of forgetting, please don't join
-i reserve the right to say no, even if you want to join
-try to be as descriptive as possible
-and if you are having trouble figuring out what to repl, at least write more than say, micah just fidgeted with his fingers or "oh," he said.
-also, if i haven't rped with you before, i may ask for a sample of your writing
-please ask to join
-and as always, all of andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules apply. there is never an excuse to be unaware of them, even ignorance. the moment you joined this site, you agreed to those rules, and that you would stand by and uphold those rules.

i know that was a lot of rules, but-
they're necessary. quite necessary.
i'll get a template up once someone who wants to join is approved and a-okayed

Jaclyn didn't know how old she was. She didn't know why she was here. But she was clothed, fed, and healthy, and she lived in a paradise. That was all that mattered to her. the owner of this place let her and one other stay here. why? she didn't know. all she knew about this place was that there were certain things they weren't supposed to touch and do. trees covered the patch of land, and vines hung everywhere. the weather was just right, and the sun shone down through the treetops. the land didn't seem to end at all, and there was a single stream of water running straight through the middle. they weren't alone in this place, but there were only two humans. there was a great variety of animals, and they were told it was dangerous outside of this land.

Sammy got up, she had no idea where she was or who this other person could be! All she knew was that she was safe here and that there were rules in place that she had to follow or else she would be thrown into the dangerous world outside the garden. She spotted some interesting creatures swimming in the water, fish, she thought that had a nice ring to it. She walked up and sat by the water, dipping her hand in for the fish to nibble. "I think I'm going to like it here…"

She headed in a random direction, which happened to be deeper into the forest. encountering all sorts of creatures with strange names like "snake" and "bird" and "frog", her eyes widened with curiousity. eventually, she came to a stream. it wasn't terribly wide, but the current was relatively strong. Jaclyn found this out by cautiously dipping a hand in the water and nearly fell in, not expecting such a fast current. she watched the fish swim by, wondering how on earth they were able to breathe.

Sammy heard someone coming up behind her. She jumped up and turned around, frightened. It was just the other person she ended up herewith. "Do you know where we are?" She asked with caution.

jaclyn turned around, surprised. breathing a small sigh of relief, seeing that it was the other person who lived here with her, she said, "i think it's called a garden… of something. i remember seeing a sign closer to the edges of this forest," she answered. "i answered your question, now could you answer mine? how is it possible that these… 'fish' creatures are able to breathe underwater?"

"I have no idea! But it is quite fascinating isn't it?" I marvel over the girl's question, watching as these fish swim around without a second thought.

"yeah!" jaclyn tried to poke a finger into the water, attempting to touch one of the fish. but it didn't work, the fish immediately shying away from her finger.

Sammy chuckles as the fish moves away from Jaclyn's finger. "They are quite shy aren't they?"

"i guess… have you seen any other creatures around?" jaclyn inquired. the animals around here really weren't very social.

"I walked straight here. I haven't explored the rest of this incredible place yet!" She looks up and smiles at the other person there. "I'm Sammy."

"Oh, I'm Jaclyn. Nice to meet you," she smiled.

Jaclyn is a pretty name. "Very nice to meet you, we should probably find some food!"

"Okay, yeah, good point!" Jaclyn looked around maybe there was a food source somewhere. She saw several fruit-bearing trees in the distance, and pointing them out, she said, "Look, there's some trees over there that have fruit, shall we go check them out?"

"You can, I think I'm going to stay here a little longer…" I watch as she walks off into the distance.

"Okay then," in twenty minutes, Jaclyn returned, her arms full of bananas, apples, and peaches.

"You clearly have a feast on your mind hun." Sammy looks at all the fruit Jaclyn came back with, her mouth-watering.
