[C!] Dark Nightly Isle - a Semi Literate HTTYD RP

[SoftlyFallingSnow]

Brief Intro to my Characters

When Kalilia washes up on the shore of Dark Nightly Isle (a Night Fury inhabited island) after her mother drowns on a boat, she tries to find her brother and father, and her home. As time goes by, her childish ways become less and less. by the time she's twelve, she's struggling to survive. she seems to be hungry all the time (and trying to find food is almost impossible, let alone trying to catch it). Kalilia is now 15, and she acts like she's twenty. not in the, "ooh, make-up, hair, ooh lala!" type of way, but the way that makes you act like an adult; a responsible, respectful, caring, serious adult. mentally, she isn't a kid anymore. 

Zara is technically an adult, but she's just gotten out of the home. she hasn't had a whole lot of experience, so she's pretty curious yet. you could say she's a newbie at being an adult, nothing like Kali.


They haven't quite met up yet, but they are very close to meeting. they'll probably meet somewhere between my third and fifth post. 


Setting can be on Dark Nightly Isle, or on Berk. I don't really care which. But my FC's are on Dark Nightly Isle, for now.


RULES!!!

Please read!

1. You must post at least one paragraph, which is 3-5 sentences, I think. I understand writers block, but try to write 3 sentences at the very least, okay? If you have to, fluff it up!
2. No cussing! even with the stars (*'s), please don't cuss. I mean, I won't kick you out of the RP if you do, but you will get some warnings. Just keep it down, way down, if you can. I just... don't like people who swear. It makes me uncomfortable.
3. Grammar and spelling are important! Grammar doesn't have to be perfect, because, as you can see, my grammar isn't the best. But if you can, try to use spell check often. I'd like to be able to read your posts, thanks. 
4. Don't follow #8. I'm hoping to make sure people read these rules by putting this towards the middle, and by not bolding it. Please say, "I'm a tree-hugger" somewhere in your first post.
5. I encourage drama, just not too much. By too much, I mean like this, "oh my gosh! is he dead? he's so cold and bloody!" that's disgusting. yuck... eww... Please don't describe kissing scenes, either. I have a very weak stomach, and a vivid imagination (which is not a very good combination, if you must know). EDIT: For the lack of people joining, I'm going to edit the rules a bit. You may describe kissing scenes, as long as it's mostly the feelings of the kiss. For example: "She kissed him more desperately now, almost as if she needed him there. She loved him like no other." This is fine. However, no describing where you're kissing, unless it's a normal kiss on the lips. Thanks!
6. People who are going to be Canon Characters need to be as close to the real thing as possible. If you'd like to be a Canon Character, please PM me or go to the Discussion thread, okay? You don't need to PM or do anything in the Discussion thread if you're RPing a FanC, though.
7. Please follow the rules!
8. If you have read this, please say "I love Nature" in your first post.

Hiccup/Toothless - 
Astrid/Stormfly -
Fishlegs/Meatlug - 
Tuffnut/Barf(?) - 
Ruffnut/Belch(?) - 

I hope I got that right; I can't tell which is which (twins, no duh! haha). Well, please join if you have the time and the spelling skills!

EDIT NOV 25/13: We are starting this RP on Nov. 27, 2013, at 4 o'clock pacific time. 

EDIT March 4, 2014:

I'm so sorry, you guys! I haven't been active; however, I have an announcement to make. wyvern hasn't been active, and I have no idea why. So, I'll be kicking him off for now (however, if he wants back on, I'll give him a second chance). I'm letting another two people on. Welcome, thenightandthefury and Moo!! I hope you all have fun!

Kali

"unh...." Kali stares up at the sun, yawns, sits up and stretches her arms toward the sky, greeting a new day, new challenges, and more hunger pains. She rubs her eyes with her hands, and looks at the fire, almost out of wood to burn. she blows on it a little bit to keep it going, yawns and stretches again, then stands up, stretching her limbs yet again. 
Sighing and realizing the firewood pile is empty, she slips on her hand-made moccasins, pulls on a pair of deer-skin pants, and grabs her bow and quiver full of hand-made feather-arrows, ready for going and grabbing breakfast.
She takes a deep breath and starts toward the woods on the edge of the island (Dark Nightly Island, as she calls it, for it is almost pitch black at night, and dangerous). As she tries to be as quiet as possible (which is almost silent, considering she's been doing this for five years) she spots a deer in a meadow ahead, along with her fawn, eating some fresh, juicy grass. She crouches low behind a bush and takes aim at the doe. As they munch on the grass, the familiar twang of a bow and the swift sound of an arrow whistling through the air caught their attention, but the doe wasn't quick enough to run away. Shot in the gut, she runs, but doesn't make it to the edge of the meadow. She falls and slides on the dirt, and after a few seconds, her breathing slows and stops. 
Kali walks onto the field, and the fawn, with small stumps of growing antlers on his head, stops and freezes, trying to hide in the tall grass. The ears go back, and the eyes widen, as if to run at any second. Kali crouches down, picks up some of the grass, and offers it to the fawn. 
He isn't big enough to eat... if he doesn't run and get himself killed, I might as well take him in for a while, until he's old enough. Kali figures. The fawn calls his mother, but the mother is dead. He calls him a few more times, then runs away into the thick foliage, while still calling his mother.
I guess I can't blame him.

Kali, now with breakfast, drags the doe by two legs over the thick foliage. With the deer now at camp, Kali cuts off one of the back legs, skins it, grabs some berries from her stash near the firewood pile (crap, my firewood is still gone) and sticks the meat onto the stick over the fire. she then goes back into the foliage while it is still cooking, trying to find suitable firewood. she goes back to the meadow, searching for some dead grass to get the fire in better shape. The hot embers will cook the meat for now... but I still need more firewood back there. She manages to find some dead grass, but keeps looking for better firewood.

((Well, here's my start ))

Seth opened up his dry, tired eyes. It had been a long night and not because he was awake all night either. He and his Night Fury, Rosco, were in a dream together last night. They spent the night on an adventure that they probably wouldn't attempt in the real world. Seth yawned as he sat up, leaning against the frame of his bed. The sound of the rustling blanket woke Rosco up. "Hey, good morning." Seth said, sleepily. The dragon opened his eyes and smiled at his human companion. He proceeded to slowly stand up off his make-shift bed and walk over to Seth's bed. "I guess that's one downside to dreaming all night; It takes a lot of energy out of you." Seth said to Rosco. The Night Fury nudged Seth's side with a grin. "How about we go get something to fix that?" Seth said with a chuckle, getting out of bed and leading his friend downstairs for breakfast. Once the two had made it towards the end of the stairs, Seth's father greeted them: "Hey, you two! Breakfast is almost ready!"

"Oh, what are we eating?"

"Chick'n N' Eggs".

"Mmm, sounds good."

Seth pulled a chair and sat down while Rosco sat next to him. After a few minutes, breakfast was served.

[night fury100]

He hadn't done anything but existing in three weeks but he couldn't exist in more enjoyable terms without a dragon to ride. However to get one he needed to find one himself which is easier said than done. He thought why not try tame a wild dragon? Kyle began to pack the stuff he needed to tame most wild dragon as well as the things he need for his search which wasn't much. After Kyle finished getting ready he went out of his house and headed for the dock to borrow a rowing boat so he could visit some of the near by pillars to see if the are any wild dragons there and if not then he would have to venture further away from the island.

(Private messaged you my answer, Night. Go look and see!)

     After gathering enough firewood, twigs and dead grass to sustain her fire for a week and a half, she put them in the pit she had dug and maintained, took some dead grass, a few twigs and three pieces of log-wood, and threw them into the fire to set it ablaze once again. The meat had been smoked for a few hours, so it was going to be delicious when it was done. She let the meat heat up again, letting the fire lick the deer-meat for around fifteen minutes before testing it with a stick. seeing that the skin was falling off and the meat falling off the bone, she quickly took it off the fairly thin branch before it fell into the fire. she kept the bones for tools to help maintain her small wooden shelter, covered with deer and lined on the inside with rabbit fur to keep the place fairly warm during winter and at night. she had made a small rug on the floor to help keep the sand out of her bed, and keep her fairly comfortable. With summer approaching, the small windows were swung open and the ceiling near her bed open to the sky (there was a door to the ceiling in the corner where her bed was) during the daytime and occasionally at night. She had figured out the way to make hinges about a year ago, and had started saving the thicker bones for tool-making to make changes to her make-shift shelter over the last couple years. She'd been hoping to make a better, lighter handle for her hammer rock, and she thought the calf bone of the deer she had taken down would be perfect.
     As she ate her fill of the deer, she heard a deep growl from behind her. Kali slowly turned around, and didn't make any sudden movements. A-

Night Fury?

The color was familiar, and the only reason she knew it's name was from her father when she was much smaller, only seven. Yet, she clearly remembered the terror on his face when the only night fury on the island had attacked just a few days before her and her mother had departed for one of the other farther islands in the archipelago of Misery. 

Back to the present, night was falling, as the sun slowly fell down the horizon and disappeared behind the trees on the western side of the island. She waited a while, but the black dragon didn't stop prowling just outside the reach of light of the fire, she could hear it's heavy paw-steps. She figured it was looking for food, so she nervously cut off the other deer leg and threw it in the direction of the dragon's hungry sounds. Kali picked up one of the burning twigs, and put the fire licking the air a little closer near the dragon so that she could see it. She could clearly see it was a female, with the leaner body and different shaped rudders on her tail. as she leaned closer, and she could see the last piece of meat just disappearing down her throat. she gulped, and sat back down, waiting for it to go away. She put the stick back down in the fire, and sat on the sand.

But the dragon looked at the meat hungrily, and quickly stole a piece off of it. Kali looked over to see a big chunk missing off of the stomach, and the black Night fury dragging it to the cover of the extreme darkness. she giggles slightly, upon seeing its face looking like a kid that got caught with his hand in the cookie basket. She realized that the  dragon was as afraid of her as she was of it, and slowly said in a soft, coaxing voice, "It's alright. if you can help me hunt, I'd love to have you here. please don't be afraid." When the dragon didn't step into the light, she took another piece of the meat and seemingly offered it to the darkness. "Please come out." she said quietly. The dragon slowly showed itself, stepping cautiously into the light of the active fire. Kali said gently, "I need a friend anyway, and I've been here far too long without anyone to talk to." the dragon padded up to her and gently took the piece of meat from her, swallowing it whole, as it didn't have any big bones in it; it was part of the deer's stomach. 

"I'm going to call you Dare, because you're so daring and brave to try and take food from me." Kali playfully said to her new dragon.

And so it was.

(the dragon looks similar to this, only all black. this might've been a better pic for reference on her profile, except for the fact that it isn't mine:link to what I think female night fury's look like only black.

P.S. I'm done, you may all post whatever! go ahead and post!)

After Breakfast, Seth and Rosco were planning to set out for a flight.

"Okay Rosco, What do you think about flying over to Cliff Beach and walking along the shore?" Seth asked the dragon, still sitting in his dining chair. Rosco nodded his head happily. "Isn't that one of your favorite places?" Seth asked inquisitively. Rosco walked up closer to Seth and nodded once more. "Well, I guess it's settled then." Seth said with a smile, gently rubbing the side of Rosco's neck. The dragon purred a bit and then quickly licked Seth's cheek. Seth chuckled a bit, but then took a sniff. "Ugh, Rosco! That stinks!" He said, starting to laugh. Rosco just sat where he was, looking a bit embarrassed. "That's okay." Seth said reassuringly, standing up. The two just smiled at each other for a second. "Alright, just lemme go get the saddle and we can be on our way." Seth said, hurrying towards the stairs to his room.

When Seth made it up to his room, he quickly scanned the room. To the right of him was his bed that he remembers picking up with a friend of his. To the left was Rosco's bed. It was a bunch of old pillows lining the floor large enough for a Night Fury to sleep comfortably. Seth thought back to when Rosco first set foot in his house. It was quite a momentous occasion for him and his dragon friend. In the middle of the room was the saddle setting on top of a wooden table. Seth walked up to the table and grabbed the saddle, sliding it against the table. The sound of the metal fasteners scraping against the table turned into robust clanks once Seth picked the saddle up completely.

"I got it, Rosco! You can go ahead and go outside!" Seth yelled down to the dragon. Rosco responded with a brief roar.

((Merry Christmas!))

As Kyle got into the boat he was using for his trip he started to think of all the fun he would have with his new dragon. When Kyle was half way to the pillars he was trying to remember what he learnt from Hiccup about taming the common dragons around like the Deadly Nadder or the Monstrous Nightmare and so on.

[SoftlyFallingSnow]

(Hey people! sorry I've been inactive, but better late than never, right? if you're wondering why I was gone for so long, please PM me. Also, please check my edited post above. I've kicked wyvern off because he's really kind of busy and isn't motivated to post. I've added in his place thenightandthefury and Moo! Welcome them, you guys!)

Three weeks later, they were best buddies, but Dare still wouldn't let Kali get on her back. They spent all of their time together, since Kali didn't have much else to do but hunt. Kali would talk to her for hours on end at first, since she hadn't had someone to talk to in so long. Sometimes they would even hunt together. Like now, for instance.

A bear had lumbered into the meadow they were hunting in, and they hoped to catch a few rabbits or something small like that for lunch. The bear seemed to smell them, then it was charging. It was an adult male bear, and this was his newly established territory! When the bear got too close and was about to pounce, Kali cowered on the ground and screamed.

The bear stopped in response, kind of hesitated. Kali stopped cowering and looked up. The bear was growling, but wasn't going any closer for fear it would get it's ears hurt. Kali screamed again, this time smiling. She yelled to Dare, "Hey! Make SOME NOISE!!" Dare roared extremely loud at the bear, and the bear ran away. "This is our territory, ya hear! Get OUT!" Kali shouted at the bear's retreating figure, and eventually the bear disappeared into the forest.

"Yes!" Kali looked at Dare, who was smiling a toothless smile. 

~*~

Early the next morning, Dare nudged Kali's sleeping figure. She made a quiet chirp, and Kali opened her bleary eyes to see Dare looking down at her. "What, Dare? What could you possibly need this early in the morning?" Kali sat up and asked, slightly irritated. Dare just lowered her back. "...What?" Kali's eyes widened, then, realizing this action was an invitation to get on her back, she jumped up and got dressed. "All right! I love you, Dare!" Dare just rolled her eyes and smiled knowingly. 

She had made a rucksack and padded saddle out of deer hide and bones two weeks before, so all she had to do was pack some berries and cooked rabbit meat, and she was on her way. She grinned as she carefully got onto her dragon's back.

"Okay, Dare. Let's go! Home, here we come!"


(Also there's going to be a side RP focusing on wild dragons on Dark Nightly Isle, if you guys want, you can join Moo and thenightandthefury in the Night Fury side RP!

Edit 3/11/14: Just so you guys know, they're going to continue another Private RP they had started before. You can jump in whenever!)

Wo wo wo what are yous to doing we are serpost to take turns or else other people in the RP will get lost and trust me that's not fun I more or less miss out on the entire RP once because of that so please take turns OK

(>_<

Dern it! please post in OOC, thanks. They're going to make new characters and start over. how's that, Night? Happy?

I did give them permission, but I guess it's not going to work out. thenightandthefury PMed me, she said the plan was to make a completely different story line and characters from their RP.

Ugh. do I have to make Moo's character? I'm sorry, but I'm too lazy and I don't have enough time to be able to make his character, as I'm also working on a Crossover fanfiction at fanfiction.net, and I should be working on that right now, probably. I should probably PM thenightandthefury about this, huh? Well, we pretty much figured it out. Hopefully we can figure the rest out. Also, they're going to delete their posts soon. You guys can totally ignore their side post, for now; Night and Moviemaker, you two can post a reply to mine, if you have any ideas.)

Dare and Kali glided above the clouds, scanning the sea for any signs of life on any land. it had been around a day since they had left Dark Nightly. it was now nearing nightfall of the second day. "Dare, I can't remember where Berk is. I think we're lost." Dare snorted, then sniffed the air. Her eyes went wide, then she had a fixated stare at the horizon. A small, extremely sharp rocky island graced their eyes with land, finally. "Dare, It's not too hospitable, but let's go and look." Dare angled her wings to land, gliding lazily towards the rocky island. 

Meanwhile, on the island...

"Night Fury!! Get Dagur!!" A messenger quickly ran to get Dagur, who immediately commanded, "Shoot it down! Capture it! I want it!" None of them realized that this wasn't Hiccup... This was his sister.

In the sky...

Whoosh! a roped net sailed past Kali and Dare; Dare had seen the net coming at them, and quickly swerved, her slitted eyes signaling she was turning to war mode. Kali had almost fallen off, considering she didn't have all of the equipment that Hiccup had. Dare went up into the dark clouds, signaling a storm was coming on and night was falling. Kali could tell Dare was getting tired, and this didn't help. "Dare, it's getting dark out. if we can  go away for now and wait until dusk, we should be able to get onto the island without them seeing us.  What do you think?" Dare just turned around in disappointment that they couldn't land and rest, maybe fill up on food. "Sorry, Girl. We'll be back." Dare swerved as another net almost hit them, then flew away.

They'll be back, Dagur thought, when night falls.

((Alright, sorry about the hiatus guys! I've been pretty busy lately. Hopefully, we can get back to posting in this RP. This is gonna be a placeholder post until I write the full post in a bit ))

Seth and Rosco walked outside, excited for the planned adventure ahead of them.
"Okay, Rosco. Let's saddle up and get to the beach." Seth said, briefly visualizing the plan for that day. Rosco happily sat down as Seth attached the saddle around his neck. As long as the two have been flying together, Seth has known how to correctly and comfortably put on the saddle for Rosco. "There we go!" Seth said as he finished attaching the saddle upon his companion. "Is there anything else we need before we go?" Seth asked, pausing and looking around as if he needed to find something. Rosco, jokingly impatient, quickly nudged Seth from behind. "What th-?" said Seth as he snapped out of his searching and looked back at Rosco. "Yes?" The dragon playfully avoided eye contact with Seth. "What are you doing, Rosco?! I'm trying to figure out if we need anything more!" Seth said, being on the brink of laughter. Rosco shook his head, indicating that he knew that they were ready to go. "We don't need anything more?" Seth asked. Rosco shook his head once again. "Alright, let's go." Seth climbed on Rosco, ready to get flying. He sat and looked around at the surrounding buildings and scenery. Rosco waited for Seth to hold on and then lifted off.

The fresh, morning air was perfect that day: not too warm, not too cold. It felt good to get out of the musty house everyday. Seth saw a few other riders and their dragons flying around the village, but none were headed in their direction. Cliff beach was a favorite spot for the two. It provided a way to cool down on the rare warm days and was a generally good spot for a nice stroll.

"Hey, Rosco. Let's start at Cliff Corner." Seth said, leaning over towards Rosco's face. The dragon nodded concordantly.

After a few minutes, they arrived at Cliff Corner. This spot was right where the beach started and the rocks ended. Since the two preferred to walk on sand instead of stone, they chose to walk on the beach.

"Ah, nothing like a walk on the beach to...uh..." Seth said, stopping to remember where he was going with what he was saying. He briefly looked over at Rosco, who looked a bit confused, before asking: "Nothing like a walk on the beach to calm the nerves?". Both of them sort of shrugged at the completed sentence as they began to walk along the shore. The only things that could be heard was the sound of the ocean rustling along the beach and the sound of sand sliding against itself with each step.

"I think I may be a bit off today." stated Seth, breaking the near silence. Rosco turned his head and looked at his companion mildly concerned, but still prepared to listen to anything more he had to add on. "Like that whole...sentence...thing..." continued Seth. "I think it's because I woke up really tired this morning." Rosco nodded his head, sorta agreeing to Seth's statement. "Maybe...maybe it's the dreams..." pondered Seth. This got more of Rosco's attention and made him a bit more concerned. "I mean, I did go to bed early last night." Seth said. Rosco then looked at him with a more than doubtful expression. "Okay. Okay. I went to bed early-er!" Seth admitted, a bit annoyed. "If's before midnight, that's early." Rosco rolled his eyes at the statement. "But, seriously. It could be the dreams taking some of my sleep away." said Seth, getting back to his issue. Rosco then cut Seth off and stopped, now looking worried. He knew that Seth was going to make some kind of sudden decision. "What if we...uh...reduce our time for a few nights and see how it does." Seth said, looking into the dragon's eyes, a bit troubled himself. "...and we can go back to full nights after that." Rosco took a sigh of slight relief as he nodded to Seth's proposal. At least they could still dream together for a little bit.

The two continued walking, both thinking out the decision that was made.

((Sorry again about the hiatus guys! I'll try to do better on posting! ))
