yay.
hey y’all
Rosetta sat up in her bed and stretched. She stood up and saw the list of people in her group.
Mylee. Yay! Mae. Haven't talked to her, but seems nice. Me, of course. Ben. Rosetta recalls the conversation from last night and smiles.
(anyone else here?)
The rest of the people on the list were people Rosetta hasn't interacted with, but is excited to hopefully meet them.
Ben looks at his group and sees Rosetta is in his group. He smiles, stretches, and gets out of bed.
(oh hey)
Naiyla sat around singing softly to herself. Her only friends were in the other group...well Ben she guessed she could consider a friend. She tied her hair into a high ponytail
Ben sat on the sand, humming Santa Fe (from Newsies). He was feeling better, and had accidentally set his hands on fire. He didn’t notice.
(I LOVE NEWSIES SO MUCH)
(ME TOO!!)
Naiyla heard Ben, “I love Newsies,” she smiled. WOAH WAIT DID SHE JUST SMILE.
(I'm back)
Wynter approaches Rosetta, unsure of how to become friends. She stands in front of her, trying to read her mind. Wynter smiles pondering on Rosetta’s thoughts.
Naiyla caught herself smiling and it slowly faded back to her usual intimidating, unamused demeanor.
Wynter stands for a moment, then picks some shells. She’s always loved collecting shells, such beauty. Wynter hands a shell to Rosetta to get her attention, “Wanna pick shells?”.
Rosetta smiles at Wynter. "Sure, I'd love to!"
Rosetta bends over and digs in the sand for shells. When she finds one, she taps Wynter's arm to grab her attention. "Look!" she says.
The shell is a beautiful shade of blue with hints of light purple throughout. She'd never seen anything like it.
Ben smiled back at Naiyla. “I do too!”
“Favorite song?” she then asked, no longer smiling.
Wynter picks up a shell and looks hard at it. She looks over to the grassy area and picks some daisies. She then walks over to Rosetta, giving her the delicate bouquet.
Rosetta smiles at the flowers. "Want to see something cool?" she asks Wynter.
(I FINALLY FOUND NAIYLA’S FACECLAIM!)
(Wynter you there?)
(I'll be right back. Sorry! Gotta cook something with my mom.)
Mylee found her group again after exploring on her own. She was in an awkward situation. Ben and Rosetta.. she doesn’t wanna be a third wheel. Naiyla.. they never really got along. And everyone else.. she barely knew.
Naiyla sat on a bunch of rocks near the shore as she looked at her necklace with a bird charm. She tucked it back into her shirt as she stayed quiet.
(BEN AND ROSETTA ARE A THING?)
Mylee walked up to Naiyla. “Hey,” she said calmly.
(I’m pretty sure look at the other chat from earlier)
(Well then.)
Naiyla looked up, “Hey?” she said, but it turned to be more of a question.
(I don’t think they’ve officially clarified it but..)
(I MISSED A FORMING OF A SHIP?! *explodes*)
“Sorry, I just have no one else to talk to.”
(I’m sorry for your loss)
“Well me neither,” Naiyla shrugs. She seems more chill then unamused surprisingly.
(the love triangle is now a love square)
sorry for the awkward silence
“You’re not so bad,” Mylee said.
Naiyla shrugs, “You’re not so bad either,” she admitted as she played with her bird necklace.
Wynter, being optimistic, “Sure.” She has decided she doesn’t want to read Rosetta’s thoughts because she doesn’t want to ruin anything.
(It’s soon to become a love shape)
(Oh dear. Kat exploded.)
“I’m surprised you haven’t threatened me yet,” Mylee said with a small smile.
(I'm back but I'll leave in prob. 10 mins. I'm cooking but waiting for something rn)
With a swift twirl of her fingers, Rosetta was able to make the flowers grow bigger and even more beautiful. Rosetta looked at Wynter's face for her reaction.
Naiyla laughed lightly. OMG GUYS SHE’S LAUGHING WHAT’S GOING ON W/ HER?! “Well, it’s just a normal day at the beach...I’m not evil,”
“I guess not,” she replied.
(a love octagon😂😂)
(lol yes)
(Rosetta are you and Ben a thing)
(I'm not sure yet)
(Wynter where are you girl!!)
😄🤔🤔😍😍
Naiyla unconsciously played with her necklace.
As Wynter watches Rosetta in amazement, she gasps seeing the flowers transform into a beauty she’s never seen before. “Oh my! They’re breathtaking.” She responds in astonishment, still glowing from joy.
(Gonna go cook now BRB!!)
(Sorry gotta help my mom with dinner)
“Are you and Ben friends, or do you just talk to him sometimes,” Mylee asked Naiyla. It was a weird question, but what else could they talk about?
(anyone on)
“I guess we’re friends...” she shrugged, “Or at least colleagues...” she stated. “How about you?”
(I am)
“He’s nice I guess.. he just has a lot of different personalities.”
“I feel like everyone has a lot of different personalities...” Naiyla commented.
“True,” she responded.
“But everyone tries the hide the fact that they have so many feelings,” Mylee pointed out.
Naiyla shrugged again, “More or less...Like yesterday or something I threw a tomahawk at your head, but now here we are sitting at the beach...Life works in crazy ways,” she commented.
Mylee laughed. Naiyla was right, yesterday they were threatening each other and competing but now they’re having a normal conversation.
“But don’t expect me to go easy on you now,” Mylee said.
She laughs lightly, “Same for you.” she smirked lightly.
(This sounds like a fun conversation 😂 I will be back tomorrow. I must sleep.)
Mylee said nothing for awhile. It wasn’t an awkward silence though, just natural.
goodnight bro
(Wait I can be on for like 10-20 minutes)
(YAY)
Ben sat alone on the beach, the waves lapping up on his feet.
Mylee motioned for Ben to come over.
(The other group is not doing anything at all so Noa is going to join this one)
(okay😅)
Ben got up and walked over to Mylee. A wave of guilt washed over him. “Hi.”
Anyone still on? Done cooking.
I was making dinner with my mom sorry
(Get it? Wave? 😅)
“Hey. How are you?”
“Good. How are you?”
Naiyla looked up to Ben and said nothing. You couldn’t read her face...it was almost as calm, unamused, and intimidating wrapped into one.
(ba dum ching🤣🤣)
“Good I guess.”
Ben looked at Naiyla. He wished, at that moment, that he was a kind reader like his twin sister. Naiyla’s face showed almost no emotion.
“That’s good,” Ben replied. He turned to Naiyla. “Um, so, thanks for helping to save me. I guess I kinda owe you now, don’t I?”
Mylee sighed. It was really hard to act normally right now, especially after last night.
Rosetta traveled along the beach by herself. She hummed the lullaby her mother would sing to her when she was a child.
Naiyla unconsciously started playing with her songbird necklace as she looked back at the ocean.
(WHAT THE HÈCK HAPPENED LAST NIGHT)
Ben felt incredibly awkward. (LoVe OcTaGoN gUyS wHaT?)
Now Mylee wanted to disappear. “I’ll be right back..” she said and ran in the direction of the bathroom.
Ben stared after her. He felt bad. He rocked back and forth on his feet.
“So?” Naiyla asked.
(I felt bad cuz of the dragon stuff and then I chickened)
“So...I owe you. Thank you for saving my bûtt.”
(Guys I gtg)
“Of course,” Naiyla said. There was a hint of a smile of her face, but she was mostly quiet as her usual self.
Mylee started to walk. She went by the bathrooms but instead of going in she just laid on the sand. It was so warm, it made her feel happy. She closed her eyes and smiled.
Rosetta kept humming and kept walking and stared at Naiyla and Ben standing together. Rosetta sighed. Not because she didn't like seeing them together but because she was so relieved Naiyla saved Ben. It could have been a lot worse and Rosetta was just relieved it turned out the way it did.
(ok bye)
Rosetta laid down in the sand. She turned over so now she was on her stomach. Her arms were crossed and her chin was resting on them.
(anyone still here)
Mylee didn’t really notice, but she had begun singing softly. She a decent singer, but not nearly as good as Naiyla.
Rosetta started humming the same lullaby she was earlier. Whenever she heard the lullaby, it made her feel calm and relaxed.
(not trying to copy you singing i didn't see your comment 'till i refreshed so we must have sent them at the same time)
She began walking back. She no longer saw Ben, and she let out a sigh of relief.
(that’s ok)
Rosetta was in her own world, thinking of her mother as she hummed the tune. She felt vibrations in the sand and looked up.
Mylee was walking in her direction.
Rosetta began to stand up. She hadn't talked to Mylee all day.
Mylee noticed Rosetta and waved.
Rosetta waved back at Mylee and grinned.
(Naiyla still here or just us)
(Sorry my grandma was telling me to sleep😂 I gtg)
(is Naiyla still here)
(Ok good night! sorry i wasnt able to rp with you i had to cook dinner w/ my mom)
(I’m here)
(oh hi)
(hi)
(Can we go back to RP?)
(yeah)
(WAIT THEY FIGURED OUT IT WAS NAIYLA SINGING)
(yes)
(ok)
(yeah I did)
Rosetta walked over to Mylee. "So, Mylee. What have you been doing this whole time?"
“Bathroom”, she said unconvincingly.
"I see..." Rosetta said, not believing Mylee's response but deciding not to question it anyway.
gtg
Rosetta conjured petals from her hands and released them, watching them float gently to the ground and landing in the golden sand.
I’ll be back soon
(ok bye)
(yay but like how soon)
(Naiyla you still here or am i alone until mylee's back)
Naiyla looked out to the ocean. She was silent as she hummed quietly.
(I’m here)
(Ok hi)
Rosetta watched Mylee walk away. She watched until she was a tiny dot on the horizon, then she turned back and stared at her hands.
Rosetta plucked a rose from the flower crown perched upon her head, and made it wither. Then she reversed the process until it was a beautiful healthy rose again.
Naiyla started to take a walk along the beach as a faint memory of her and her mom doing this before she died.
Rosetta examined the beach in front of her and noticed Naiyla walking. She seemed lost in thought so Rosetta deemed it best not to engage with her for now.
A few minutes passed and Rosetta wondered if she should go and talk to Naiyla. Besides, it was just them two on the beach and Rosetta had nothing else to do.
Rosetta strode on over to where Naiyla was.
Naiyla heard sound behind her and whipped her head around, “Oh.” she stated promptly, “Hey...”
Rosetta stuck out her hand and waved, hoping Naiyla would notice her.
"Hey," Rosetta replied shyly.
“You’re Rosetta...right? I remember seeing you...” she stated looking straight into her eye.
"Yep, that's me." Rosetta replied. "And you must be Naiyla, if I remember correctly." Rosetta met Naiyla's gaze confidently.
(hello?)
(Hi)
“Mhm.” she said, “So?” she asked.
Rosetta's confidence started to descend quickly. "Uh...well you said my name so I said yours?" was all she could manage to say.
*remembered not said
(gotta eat dinner brb)
Naiyla just looked at her for a few moments, “The beach is pretty...” she said quietly
(Ok bye!)
(anyone)
(I’m here)
(anyone still here i'm done with dinner)
(I’m here)
(I’m here)
(I’ll be back in 3 minutes sorry I had to leave for a while)
will anyone still be here
(Anyone still here?)
I’m here
(yay wanna rp?)
(Ok goodnight everyone)
(Alright Goodnight. I’ll be on a lot tomorrow)
(Hopefully I will too. Who knows what my family is planning for tomorrow.)
(It’s almost 2 so I should probably go to bed as well. gn!)
(I’m here now)
Good morning
(hi anyone one?)
Imm on
Mylee had just gotten back from a walk on the beach. She barely saw anyone so she sat down but the water.
Naiyla was walking by the shore quietly lost in her thoughts
*by
Ben and Noa sat side by side on the beach, laughing.
(Helloo? Anyone here?)
(YES I)
(Gute)
Mylee looked over at Ben and Noa and smiled slightly. It would be nice to have someone who’s always there for you, no matter what.
Noa looked at Mylee and waved her over.
Mylee waved and started to walk towards Ben and Noa. “Hi,” she said.
“Hi,” Noa said. “How are you?”
“I’m good,” she responded with a shrug. “You?”
(Hi I’ll be on in a few minutes just woke up)
“Good. Good,” Noa said, sitting awkwardly between Ben and Mylee. “Hey,” Ben continues. He smiles.
(Yay!)
“Hi..” Mylee said awkwardly with a faint smile.
Naiyla walked around.
(Yay!! Kat!!)
(let’s have a CHICKEN PARTY!!👍👍👍👍😋😋😋😋🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🎉🎉🎉)
(HAIIII)
(Hi I'm back!)
(no one knows how to respond to the chicken party)
(YEET)
(YEET)
(🐓🐓CHICKEN PARTY🐓🐓)
(let’s continue the rp shall we?)
There was a long silence. Mylee sighed and considered walking away.
(Oh by the way I said something to Mylee on the high school)
Rosetta walked along the shore by herself.
Rosetta stretched out her hand and made rose petals fall from her fingertips. She watched them glide softly to the bed of sand beneath her feet.
(k)
Rosetta stared off into the ocean and watched the waves crash.
She walked over to the sand and laid down on it, enjoying its warmth.
(anyone here?)
Ben looked up at Mylee. “Sorry if I made you feel bad earlier. You kinda just...left.”
(MeeEeee)
Rosetta spotted a seashell and reached over to grab it.
(Yay Hi)
“No it’s ok, I just had to go to the bathroom,” she said unconvincingly.
Rosetta put down the seashell and crossed her arms behind her head. She rested on the sand and let the sun shine on her face, warming her up and relaxing her enough to start falling asleep.
Naiyla sat down on a bunch of rocks as she started to sing again, a little louder then she expected to. It was a song her mom used to always sing...
“Ah,” Ben said. He didn’t believe her, but he also didn’t want to say anything. “So, then...”
Rosetta woke up a while later, because the clouds had shifted and now the spot she was laying in no longer was sunny.
Mylee looked over at Naiyla for a brief second. She saw her lips moving and knew that she must be singing.
Rosetta scanned the beach, remembering the list and wondering who was actually here.
As she looked around, Rosetta saw Ben and Mylee sitting together, talking, and Naiyla by herself, singing.
Mylee looked at Ben for a second and then looked at her fingers. She made the small, candle like flame appear above her pointer finger.
Naiyla then got up as she started to take a run on the beach. She was able to run 85 miles with ease.
Noa decided to leave Mylee and Ben alone. She got up and went over to Rosetta. “Hi. I don’t think we’ve been formally introduced. I’m Noa.”
She then did what she had done the other night, she passed the flame from finger to finger.
Ben looked at Mylee’s small flame and made an identical one. He looked at her and smiled.
Rosetta turned around and saw Noa. She replied with a smile, "Nice to meet you. I'm Rosetta."
When Mylee saw what Ben was doing she smiled to and laughed.
Once Naiyla finished running she started working out. She was pretty much alone...
Mylee sighed and looked down. Her smile suddenly faded.
“Nice name. I saw you with the plants the first day. That was cool.”
Ben made his flame larger, until he had large orbs in both his hands. He tossed them back and forth.
“It’s sad to think that in the end, there can only be one,” Mylee said.
Rosetta grinned. "Thanks." she said, conjuring a marigold and offering it to Noa.
Ben saw Mylee look down. His fire went out, and his smile disappeared.
Noa took the Marigold and examined it. “Pretty,” she said, smiling.
“At one point we could all be fighting each other to the death..”
Rosetta changed her focus from the flower in Noa's hand to the smile on Noa's face. She was as prettier than any flower.
“I don’t think so, but, if it were to happen, I don’t think I could kill anyone.”
Naiyla pretty much was bored. She wasn’t in the mood to sing or exercise. She just sat on the rocks alone.
(come over here and be with us Naiyla)
Noa looked at Rosetta. “May I sit?,” she asked, gesturing to the sand next to Rosetta.
(Yessss come join ussss)
“You never know... but still, one by one people will be eliminated. Some of those people could be your new best friend.”
Rosetta looked at where Noa was gesturing and replied, "Yeah, definitely." and took a seat, too.
(See I would, but Naiyla would never do that😂)
(#loveoctagonclub)
“Yeah,” Ben looked out over the water. “Still, though, it’s not like we can’t see them again afterwords, right? I’m not sure, but I think that’s how it works.”
Noa sat. “Do you have any siblings?,” she asked Rosetta.
(#loveoctagonclub 😂)
“I guess you’re right..” Mylee said. She tried to act positive, but after this camp she’ll probably be on the run again, and that doesn’t give her much time to socialize.
(that’s my new bio😂)
Out of the blue, Ben asked, “Where do you live?”
"Nope. I'm an only child." Rosetta chuckled to herself and imagined her mother with a whole bunch of those magical seeds. Then they would have a big family. But no, Mother Nature only had one seed.
(Haha yes we should all put that in our bio 😂)
(Yes!)
“Ahh. Lucky,” she looked at Ben. “Siblings can be annoying.” Noa smiled.
(doing that😂)
“Umm, I live in North Carolina I guess,” she replied.
(already done😂😂)
“Oh,” Ben said. “I’m from Minnesota.” He shrugged and then laughed.
Naiyla stared out to the ocean as she braided her hair slowly. She watched everyone’s movements because that’s what came natural, you had to evaluate the competition. The water slowly came up and soaked her toes as she looked out to the ocean.
Rosetta followed her gaze and her eyes landed on Ben. Rosetta smiled. "Who's older?
“Cool,” she said with a smile.
Rosetta followed her gaze and her eyes landed on Ben. Rosetta smiled. "Who's older?" she asked Noa curiously.
“I am,” Noa answered. “But only by a minute.”
(oh yeah I forgot they were twins)
“What sports do you do?” Mylee asked. It was nice to have a conversation that took her mind off of, well, everything.
Naiyla pulled out her Tomahawk and sharpened it quietly. No, she wasn’t going to throw it anyone, she was just bored.
"Hm." Rosetta said in reply. She looked off into the ocean, then back at Noa. "Got any powers?" she asked.
(I actually live in California but oh well😂😂)
(Yeah I don’t live in Minnesota but I was born there.)
( I was born in Washington)
“Yeah,” Noa replied, bringing a dome of water over her and Rosetta.
(Cool)
(born and raised in California)
(😉😉)
“I, uh, used to do basketball,” Ben told Mylee. “I swim competitively, but not as much as Noa does.”
(I live in Georgia)
(Also cool)
(I’ve lived in California for about 7 years but I moved a lot before)
(You guys are on opposite ends of America)
Rosetta stared at the dome in amazement. She always liked seeing people's powers.
(Yeah I’ve moved four times)
“That makes since,” she responded.
(oh yeah we are)
Noa smiled at Rosetta’s amazement.
(what’s you real name because idk what to call you)
(sorry random question😂)
(YESSS! And there should be a panel for roleplayers)
(Mine? Jordan. Like the country.)
Naiyla got up from the rocks and slowly moved away from everyone. She wanted someone to talk too, but then again, she didn’t. Everyone started becoming smaller and smaller.
(cool👍👍)
(I'm Izzy btw but you probably know that from my username)
(Thanks 😊)
(what's your name mylee)
(I’m Rilyn and it’s pronounced Ri lyn😂)
(Coolio)
(yeah)
(That's a cool name)
(thanks👍👍)
(I can never find a keychain with my name though😡😡😡)
(I was almost named Rowan.)
(really?)
(Ugh yeah that must be frustrating)
(Yep)
(I’m just going to go now. See y’all later)
(okay where were we in the rp)
(Bye Kat!! 👋)
(Uhhhhm)
(byee)
(sad)
(Bye Kat)
(is Kat short for something)
(Um I think Ben just told Mylee about his sports and Noa is showing Rosetta her powers.)
(okie)
(No you're right)
(its short for Kat in the hat)
(Yeah! 😂)
(Is that her old username)
(no)
(no it’s just kinda a nickname I think)
Mylee looked out at the waves. They were incredible. She could watch them roll over the ocean all day.
(oh)
Ben looked at Mylee. Her eyes seemed to reflect the ocean, and they were beautiful.
Rosetta looked at Noa, thinking about what else to say.
Noa looked at Rosetta.
(I like how Rosetta wants to talk to everyone but never knows what to say)
Mylee imagined having powers like Noa’s, controlling the water would be amazing. She was stuck with fire powers though...
Noa came up with an idea. She pushed the water back a ways, so she and Rosetta could walk out into the water without getting wet.
Mylee didn’t know what to say to Ben. She just sat there, watching the waves and burying her toes in the sand.
(its funny how the other chat has no comments at all)
Rosetta smiled and had an idea too. As Noa pushed the water back she lined the sides with all sorts of flowers.
(Alright I’m back.)
(hey bro)
(Hi!)
(Jordan are you still here)
Naiyla slowly disappeared from everyone’s eyes as she continued to walk. Well...she was pretty much invisible to begin with, but she just needed to think.
(Maybe Jordan is making the next task)
(oh yeah)
(idk what to do cuz before she left me and Ben were talking)
(same me and Noa were talking)
Mylee motioned for Rosetta to come sit by her.
(Well I’ve been lonely this whole time soooo🤷🏻‍♀️😂)
(then come over here bro)
(Sorry I got distracted I have returned)
(can you give me like 6 minutes my mom texted me to get ready to go somewhere brb)
Naiyla’s hand then flew up to her neck...Her necklace was gone. She ran back towards where everyone was and tried to to find it.
(I think I’m going to do eliminations now)
(spicy)
Mylee saw Naiyla running around and went up to her. “Are you okay or...?”
(does this have a newwwssssssppapppper)
(No not yet but that’s a good idea)
“Well I mean I lost my-“ she paused, “The last piece of my sanity,” she said promptly.
(why'd all the people who are active be on this chat RIP)
“Sure. Well good luck finding whatever it is your looking for.”
(Hi, I'm back!)
(Can we still RP here or?)
Naiyla nodded. She wasn’t exactly lying...That necklace was the last thing she had of her mother. It was the last reminder that she wasn’t her father.
Luna wondered why no one was at the library so she came to the beach
(Well Challenge Three has been posted.)
(No one was RPing with me soooo)
