Elm walked by the lake. he had gone around it 2 times thinking one thing, why didn't my soulmate accept me? he sat down on one of the logs nearby and watched a buck and doe run in front of him. they stopped at a berry bush and nuzzled each other. he stood up and angrily walked back to his house. As soon as he got out of the trees it started raining.
Sam uncorked the serum, draining the vial of part of its contents and pocketing it. The mist around their feet suddenly changed from a melancholy blue to a bright red, then gold, then green, flashing the colors of the rainbow, until it turned into a sad gray fog and disappeared. They climbed the stairs up to the rooftop, about to take off both of their shoes as they swung open the door-
A girl with dark dreadlocks stood on the ledge, prepared to jump. (who wants to play the girl?)
//me
"Hey, don't do it!" Sam yelled, pulling the girl back. "What the hell were you thinking? Why would you try and kill yourself?" Truthfully, they didn't care. They had seen too much of this to feel anything now.
(sam's a dick but this will be used as character development)
“Why are you trying to stop me?” Victoria hissed, slapping his hand off her shoulder.
Sam was taken aback at the question. "Because it's… you know, a waste. Don't throw away your life like that," No, because you're in my fucking spot. Deep down, they knew that answer would only encourage the girl to jump, so they shifted gears. "Why are you trying to jump?"
“Um. You’re a stranger. Why in this whole wide miserable;e world would you care?” Victoria grumbled, stepping closer to the edge.
I don't. "At least get it off your chest," Sam said encouragingly, feeling dead inside. "Have someone understand and know you before you disappear,"
“That’s okay. I’d rather just disappear.” Victoria tried to jump for reals, but the boy stopped her again.
(*person) "No one deserves to be forgotten. No one deserves to fade away. No one should come and go and have no one know that they were ever even there. No one deserves… to disappear," Sam said fake-comfortingly. The stupid girl didn't even know that they were reciting lyrics.
“Uh. Isn’t that a song? You don’t even care.” Victoria shook her head. “Well, you can go home. You’ve done your good deed for the day.”
"No!" Sam yelled in an outburst of desperation. "But if you know that musical, you should know what I'm going at. Connor didn't deserve to die, and neither do you. So I'm staying here because I'm not going to let you jump," Because I don't want to do it alongside anyone else.
“Mmhmm. ‘Kay well, bye theatre nerd.” Victoria walked away, already mapping out the city in her head. Next tallest building is probably… well… I should wait.
Sam nodded, not even smiling. Good. Now I can jump in peace. But then the large clock in the middle of the town rang, signaling that it was four in the morning. Too late… I still have enough formula to try again tomorrow. (btw, the serum cancels out powers. so sam took it so that if they jump, they won't try and go back to try and stay alive with their powers.)
//mkay Why is this so suicidal all of a sudden
"HEY! WAIT UP!" Poppy yelled getting closer to the others.
(@Meow, can Corvin and Saya be paired up?)

I had an idea previously: maybe that's how Sam meets Virgil? Either: Virgil saves them with his powers, Virgil saves them by just talking to them as his civilian self, or Sam saves Virgil by talking to him. also i like sideplots in superhero rp's… you know, just seeing what their civilian lives are like. Two of my favorites are that the dark villain is actually the golden boy/girl who wanted to let loose their dark side through their powers; or the shining superhero is on drugs/depressed, so they save people because they don't want others to be like them. Sam's reason for being a superhero/villain (they're on the morally gray side) is because they want to be looked up to, to be admired. In real life, they're the agender "freak" who gets bullied at school, so when they get to put on their mask, it's like becoming a whole new person, and they can hide their gender and pretend that they're male. Can we please do some civilian sideplots?
//yes nice I like that
(anyone on?)
//hey
//moi
(I am here, but I'm not sure how to proceed. I haven't seen @Meow on, so I haven't gotten a response back as to whether or not our characters could be paired up.)
