(no problem, Idk if we should start yet, or wait for other people, or just start and let them join if they want-
but could I get a writing sample?)

(I just copied and pasted one from another rp

Nothing could describe how she was feeling at the moment. There were so many emotions hitting her at once, all from one statement said to her. She felt as if everything up to this point was nothing more than a lie. She never expected this to be the truth. Her own mother, someone kind and caring, had actually been a murderer this whole time. She felt betrayed, though simultaneously angry and in disbelief. She didn't want to believe that her mother was guilty of such a thing. Only a teenage girl at the time, she swore that she would find the true culprit. To think that the world could be so corrupt.

((Not sure why this was my first idea… I usually just write fluff and angst, not this kind of drama… An example of my usual writing now))

Tears were streaming down her face as she ran out the door. Anger, betrayal, and heartbreak hit her all at once. Her girlfriend broke up with her, only a week from their year anniversary, while on a date. She knew she messed up somehow, that she acted in a way that made her now ex no longer want to be around her. She thought back to her impulsive tendencies, how she'd get angry and jealous easily. It was from then on that she'd just act as if she was fine for the sake of those she loved. Hiding her emotions would be hard, but it was better than hurting someone.

Weeks passed, and she found someone new. She was still distant with her new girlfriend when it came to negative emotions. She'd only express them when alone, letting them out on a nearby object before crying, occasionally drawing or writing to help. It's not like her girlfriend didn't know something was wrong; it was quite obvious. She did notice that she grew closer to her, just a bit more open with her emotions, whenever they'd hang out together. She was going to help the one she loved through whatever was wrong. She was going to help her accept and love herself again.

Eventually, at 16, they got bored of this same life and decided to travel the world and learn the arts. Now that the King is posing a danger they have got to leave their tranquil life of art and flee to Blossomia.

And this is my RP sample:
The little girl turned around. Immediately Jo saw that where the girl’s eyes should have been was filled with thousands of black spiders. Jo froze in terror, her docile smile replaced by a grimace as she realized just what this little girl really was. The girl smiled a dreadful smile as the spiders all consecutively looked at Jo, and the girl’s mouth opened “You’ve finally taken notice of this terrible web you’ve spun for yourself.” Jo, still paralysed in fear, began to quiver. “That’s right, I am one of the fair folk, and you have wounded the ties between my world and yours. Because of you, our once beauteous realm has been shriveled into these unsightly grounds you see around you” The girl’s face began to morph as Jo thought maybe she should have never torn the gate between worlds “ So you understand why I brought you here.” She bellowed, now towering over Jo, taking the form of a tar black, winged giant “ I must make you feel the pain me and my people have endured” and she lunged forward in a flight of oily blackness.

Charlotte threw the diced carrots into the pre-boiling cauldron she had set up in her tree, she also managed to put cabbage and other vegetable inside the boiling water, she put out most of the fire after a few minutes, leaving the homemade broth to simmer, and she used a ladle; which she had stolen from the nearest village a little while back, to pour a small amount of the soup into a hand carved, wooden bowl.

She then took, a dish towel, sliding it under the bowl, grabbed a spoon, which she had also stolen, and slid her hand under the towel; making the soup easy to carry. She sat it on her hand carved wooden bedside table and sat near to top of her bed, laying horizontally, she prevailed herself to lay backwards, where the high ceiling of her tree, had been painted with a galaxy, she admired the galaxy and then picked up her spoon, and began eating her soup, blowing on it, gently before scooping each spoonful into her mouth.

Nilo stood outside in the light of the soon to be setting sun and stared at the canvas before them as they thought of what they could add for the final touch on their painting. It was NEARLY perfect. A beautiful representation of their childhood home; a night sky with an enormous white moon, undulating dunes of sand, with a small oasis near the left end of the painting, with many merchants, all human, taking their goods to the market. The painting seemed as much joyful as it did sad, it showed beggars on the roads and magical creatures as well as slaves in cages and in chains being sold. They thought for a long time what they could add to the painting to make it a perfect portrayal, they could add the face of the beautiful women dancing in the night life of the oasis, or maybe the birds that would fly above the desert sky decorating it with colors. They thought long enough for the bowels of the birds in the tree above to loosen and desecrate their beautiful painting. They pooped on the painting. Nilo stared in absolute horror at this disgusting stain until they couldn't hold in their emotions any longer, they let out an almost painfully angry scream and snapped the canvas in half, the ambient around them echoing with the sound of wood breaking and cloth ripping.

Charlotte's ears perked up, as she heard a faint scream, she got up, quickly setting her bowl of soup back down on her bedside table, half eaten. She then stood up, her hooves clicking against the floor of her tree, which was a cloth she had nailed down.

She then galloped quickly through the forest, listening, her ears continuing to stay perked up. She then followed the angry sounds, and followed the path, she assumed it came from, when she approached a clearing she saw a Djinn. or what the other magical folk in the forest called them, a genie.

"Hello" she called to the Genie's back quietly, she then walked closer stopping abruptly a couple feet from them.

"I hope you are okay, I heard a scream, followed by tearing of cloth" she stated, her eyelashes fluttering as she blinked.

Slumped on the tree Nilo looked up, a faun stood before them " My painting was ruined by some STUPID birds" they groaned waving their arm at the tree, where two birds sat almost SMUGLY looking down at them. Nilo no longer felt angry, just a kind of dull sadness because their masterpiece was ruined.

"It's fine though, I'm fine" they stood up and stretched out "It's getting late anyways, I haven't even eaten yet"

Charlotte dipped her head slightly, her chin facing the ground, her ears lowered slowly, and her tail twitched once then remained still. She looked up at the birds the genie had gestured to, then back down at their face, their eyes were a beautiful piercing green. Charlotte blinked a couple times to take in how bright the genie's eyes were and then stepped forward, closer to them.

"Luckily for you…I just made soup, its still simmering above the cauldron in my tree, you're welcome to join me for supper if you'd like." She stated, a tone of hope in her voice, she had been friendless for quite a while, more like ever since I've lived here she thought to herself, a friend would be nice. Or at least a little company for a while.

"Im Charlotte by the way" she added quietly, yet slowly. Her tail twitching in unison with ears, which perked up when she said her name.

Charmed by this stranger, Nilo smiled, flashing their teeth "Nilo" they held out their hand, eyes locked onto Charlotte's twitching ears, it was pretty cute. They giggled " I'll definitely take you up on that offer"

Charlotte briefly shook Nilo's hand, her skin warm on theirs. She gave a soft smile and turned around, walking slowly so it was easy for Nilo to follow her, she looked back at them, as the wandered through the trails of the thick wood, and gave a smile, her hooves clicked against the packed dirt of the trail.

When they finally arrived to Charlotte's tree, she lifted the moss entryway up and entered, her home and its furnishing came into view, she brought another carved bowl out, and another spoon, she used the ladle, which rested in the simmering soup, and filled the empty bowl, she placed the spoon in the bowl with the soup and handed the lukewarm bowl, filled with soup, to Nilo, and sat down in the chair; another hand carved thing she had made, and sat down, squishing her tail.

When Nilo entered the tree the air was filled with a joyous scent, it was rich and sweet and savory all at once, and immediately Nilo's palate began to salivate, as Charlotte pulled out a chair for them they couldn't help but imagine just how delicious this meal would be, and they knew delicious food like the back of their hand, having travelled the world in search of art they had come by many scrumptious delights and delicacies. They sat down as Charlotte placed a spoon in front of them and began to eat, the food that entered their mouth was even MORE delicious than what they had smelled, they savored every slurp of the soup so much, it left almost a disappointing feeling when they finished their bowl. "That was delightful, thank you very much" they stood up and smiled again "We should get together more often"

Charlotte gave a small nod at the suggestion of herself coversing and seeing Nilo more often, she was trying to play it off, as if it were not a big deal, but in all honesty, it was, she hadnt had a friend in almost ten years.
She brought her hand to the back of her neck and rubbed, giving an awkward, yet soft smile.

"Yeah… where are you staying exactly, i don't know much about genie–sorry Djinn, but if you ever need somewhere to sleep, you're welcome to stay, that is if you do rest–" she said, rambling about how she knew almost nothing about the Djinn kind.

Finally she shut her mouth, and her tail twitched as she stood up, her ears stayed lowered and she bowed her head, her chin pointing to the ground.

They looked up "I actually don't really have a place to stay" they said "I just kinda shapeshift into a bat and perch on a tree or something" they put their hand on their neck, feeling a little embarrassed " I didn't really feel like burdening anybody… plus Djinn aren't typically somebody you want in your house, y'know "evil spirit" stereotype and all. I don't tend to stay in places longer than a month, but now I have to and I have nowhere to stay. Kind of ironic isn't it" they shook their head and laughed softly "Anyways, have a great night" and they turned to leave.

Charlotte managed to blurt "wait!" when she had realized what she'd done, Nilo was facing her and a blush crept up her cheeks. She put a hand over her mouth, then slowly lowered it.

"What I mean is , don't go, I don't mind you staying here, from everything I've experienced so far, you aren't evil, and its been awhile since I had someone to talk to" she admitted, turning her gaze away and her head, to the side.

"The bed seems big enough for the both of us, when I built it when I was younger, I always thought I would have massive amounts of friends, that were other magical creatures, so I built the bed to be big enough for me and my, at the time imaginary friends, to sleep in." She admitted again.

She didn't know why she was telling Nilo all this, things she'd kept secrets for years, things that were embarrassing, but she found herself blurting them out nonetheless. Her ears perked up, and her tail twitched slightly, so she turned her gaze back to Nilo's and awaited their answer.

Nilo looked at her, a little shocked that she would offer her house so willingly, but she was so cute they couldn't help but say "I… I'll take you up on that offer" The took off their bandana smiled and looked around " You know, I didn't say it before, but this place is really nice" they looked back at her " Also, you're really cute when you twitch your ears" They smiled even wider

Charlotte suppressed a bright blush, and her tail twitched repeatedly, staying moving. She looked away, and felt her ears perk up, and stay like that. She then turned her head forward again, and gave Nilo a small smile.

"Thank you, I haven't been called cute since I was like five" she said with a small laugh.
She admired Nilo, and then smiled, she sat on her bed, and gave a small, relieved sigh.

"So Nilo, whats your story?" she asked with a sly grin.

"Well" they started " I was born into the world by storm" they sat down on the bed next to Charlotte " Quite literally" they sighed " Djinns don't have kids the same way humans and other mystic creatures do, we just kinda, pop out of each other, we're just like pieces of each other that rolled out into the world, I was born when my parents were deceiving a human couple and made a storm to destroy their crops and then I popped out of the clouds" they glanced up at her " I didn't really have a… healthy childhood" they laughed " Right after I was born I joined my parents in messing with humans, I would kill their crops and steal their money until my parents abandoned me." They chuckled and shrugged "I didn't care though" they lied "I was a strong kid, so I held my own" their voice began to silence "I eventually got bored of that though, started pursuing the professional arts rather than the scamming arts. That is, until the kings decree. I didn't even know that all the Djinn were extinct, I guess I never did see another Djinn in any of the cities I visited but… that was some really bad news for me. So I came here, to find safety and time for me and my art"

Charlotte looked at him in awe, she her eyes wide a doe like (hehe), her jaw held open in awe, she slowly closed it, and blinked. All Djinn are extinct? she thought to herself, her brows scrunched in anger, the king had apparently ordered the Djinn to be executed as well as the Whimsicals.

Suddenly her chest ached, with feeling of similarity, though her parents murder were to be the reason she were left alone for so long, she still felt she had been abandoned, she felt an aching sorrow for the Djinn sitting next to her, a craving to make all their hurt and trauma go away, but even though she was 'magical' that was something she would never be able to do without words.

Charlotte leaned over, wrapping an arm around Nilo's shoulders, their skin warm and soft. She rubbed her palm above their left shoulder in a calming, comforting motion, she stopped after a minute or two, then cast her gaze on Nilo's.

"Im sorry…I–I didn't know the Djinn were extinct, I though it was–y'know only Whimsicals–" she managed before she closed her mouth inhaling and then said "im so sorry."
