Looking For Some Adventure [Self]

Postby FrostWynd » 08/31/2016 11:14 PM

(All characters will be in human forms.)

Finally, today was going to be the day. The day that he was going to have a little adventure! It was something that he’d been carefully planning out, so that he could sneak away without anyone noticing for a little while. It wouldn’t have been all that fun though if he had come alone, so naturally he brought along his two best friends for this trip! ”We’re almost there, guys!” He told them, as some strange ruins began to come into view from a fair distance away.

Oh Raven won't you sing me a happy song

You don't want me to stay alone
That's why you gotta sing your song
You keep tapping at my door
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
But can I ask you something
A favor from you my friend
This song you keep singin'
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore

As he was telling them this, he didn’t seem to realize that he had been moving a little too fast. So Lavi ended up lagging behind them a bit, and needed to pick up his own pace to catch up. ”Are you... Sure... Of that?” He had asked his friend between a few puffs of breath. He could always typically keep up with Pyrrhus’ stamina, and judging from the time now, it hasn’t been long since they set out. But it really felt like they had been walking for ages now. When he saw the ruins, it was then that he realized just how much further they needed to walk still... So he was kind of hoping that somewhere along the remaining way, they could get a quick break in before they arrived.

Valent said nothing as he stared out at the supposed ruins they were meant to reach. He had been keeping pace so far, as he kept a good grip on Pyrrhus’ sleeve. From what he knew at the moment, there was apparently going to be something in there? But Pyrrhus ended up leaving out a couple important details during his excitement at home, so neither he nor Lavi knew the real purpose of this trip. They could only make guesses at the moment. Plus it appeared that it was going to be just a little while longer before they got there. Enough that they’d have to pass the time somehow. Or just run for it to get there faster.

But… he liked the former idea better, and looked back to Lavi.

What could they do to help pass the time? Out here there didn’t seem to be many options, especially if they wanted to keep walking. So Valent began to think about this for a little bit before opening his mouth. And decided to get some ideas from Lavi. ”Game?” was the only thing he said to him. But both his friends understood what he meant. Lavi liked the idea of playing a game. But what kind?

Pyrrhus had his own idea for a game though, and butted in immediately at the mention of it. ”Ooo! Great idea, Val. We can have a race! Readysetgo!” At that, Pyrrhus immediately took off. Neither Lavi or Valent were given proper warning, or a chance to respond. So with a surprised yelp, Valent was now being dragged along behind him. Lavi failed to react quick enough, and soon got left behind again. ”H-hey! Wait for me you guys!”

”You can’t wait around during a race!” Pyrrhus called back, laughing giddily. There were no signs of him stopping now. He was also strong enough that he didn’t slow down that much even with Valent clinging onto him for dear life. ”S-stop!” Valent pleaded, tugging at his shirt in the attempt slow him down. He did his best to keep up, but at the speed they were going, he wouldn’t be able to hold onto him for much longer. Glancing back at their poor friend that they were leaving behind, Lavi definitely couldn’t compete with this speed.

Why was there such a fuss? They were almost there anyway, and races were always fun to do. At least this way, they’d get there much faster! He didn’t want to stop!

It took a lot of concentration to watch where he was stepping. Valent’s attention on Pyrrhus had lapsed, and he hadn’t noticed that he was going even faster... Once he did, well… That shift in concentration led to him stepping on the ground the wrong way, and he tripped on something. He went down pretty fast, and lost the hold he had on Pyrrhus’ shirt.

Lavi saw Valent fall, and immediately became concerned. ”Valent! Are you okay!?” Coming up beside him, Lavi’s hands were hovering above his friend as he crouched down. Unsure of what to do. But other than a few scrapes, and most likely a bruise or two, he was actually fine. Irritated, but fine. Valent wasn’t able to stop that crazy redhead, and before they knew it, he’d left both of them behind… Letting out a frustrated huff that blew a few strands of white hair away from his face, he picked himself up and kept going to the ruins with Lavi.

When they finally managed to get to the ruins, they were both feeling a little exhausted. Lo and behold, they found Pyrrhus was there as expected. Sitting down right near the entrance. The moment he heard footsteps, he turned his blue-green eyes expectantly over towards them. A smile was on his face. ”Hey guys, you finally made it!” But both were still upset about what happened. Mostly Valent, who was still covered in dirt from the fall. Lavi frowned, and chose to complain. ”Yeah, we made it… But you didn’t have to run off without us like that…” Valent had nodded in agreement.

It wasn’t unusual for Pyrrhus to get too caught up in what he was doing. But seeing the way his friends were looking at him, he had to admit that he might’ve messed up there. ”Oh. Well gee... I’m sorry! I guess I got a little carried away.” It couldn’t be helped, since the opportunity to run wasn’t something he could just pass up.

A thought then came to mind, and he slipped off the backpack that he brought along. ”Oh yeah! Here!” Rummaging around through it, he brought out some water and a couple of snacks for everyone. ”I thought it would be a good idea to bring these!”

Hoping that yummy snacks would make it up to them, he chose to hand over some of the best ones that were his favorites. Holding them up to his friends.

Lavi wasn’t too sure at first, as he was still unhappy about what happened. But… He could smell the irresistible deliciousness of those snacks, that he quickly gave in and took some. After a little more coaxing from Pyrrhus, Valent took some too, begrudgingly.

For a few minutes, they all sat down to eat, and take a little break.

Looking up at the decrepit exterior of whatever building these ruins were supposed to be, curiosity took over while Lavi munched away at his food. ”So… What is this place exactly, and why are here again?”

In response to the question, Pyrrhus’ blue-green eyes trailed after his friend’s to the building as he continued to munch away on some of his snacks. ”An excellent question…” He mumbled between his chewing. Valent really wanted to know as well, and pretty soon they were both staring at him, waiting for an answer.

As soon as he realized that they had stopped eating, Pyrrhus knew then what it was they were wanting from him. So he gave in. Setting aside the snack he was eating and brushing off any leftover crumbs. Then he stood up to go up towards the doors of the building. Turning to his friends in an almost dramatic fashion. ”These, are some really old ruins!" Which... was pretty obvious at this point. "They used to be something special, I think? But we aren't really here for that. We're here to look for, and find something amazing that should be hidden inside!"

They were both a little confused by this. Going out on an adventure was always totally okay with them. But just looking at the state of those ruins... Were they really gonna find something in there? It was Lavi who chose to voice his confusion. "Okay...  And what exactly are we looking for in there?" Even Valent had his doubts about this place. Rubble might just be the only thing in there.

Pyrrhus was not deterred though, and almost seemed like he totally expected that exact question. "Alright, so get this... We're gonna go in there to find ourselves... A ghost!"

He was met with immediate silence...

It's not like anyone could really blame them for being skeptical. Eventually, Lavi dared to attempt in bursting his bubble as gently as he could. "A... ghost? You do know, that they aren't real. Right...?" Or at least that's what Lavi preferred to believe, since that entire subject was, well... pretty spooky when you got too deep into that stuff.

Pyrrhus wasn't going to take no for an answer though, not when they were already here! "Oh come on! Aren't you at least just a bit curious? Even this thing says that places like these are normally where ghosts hang around." That was when he then ran over to pull out a book out of his backpack. Slapping it right onto the stone ground, and flipped through several pages before getting to the one he wanted. "See?" He pointed right at the illustration, and a few sentences about it.

Valent was the first one to take a closer peek at this book. While Lavi was a lot more hesitant. Soon he found himself also taking a look though.

Slowly, Lavi started reading it aloud. "Ghost... Also known as a spirit, or apparition. Are the souls of dead people, who sometimes appear before the living. Usually as a simple presence, or a translucent shape..." There was a fairly large amount of information in here, that he started skimming a little bit. "That sometimes haunt certain locations..." Yeah, that didn't sound good to him.

It took them several minutes to let the information contained within that book to sink in by even only a little bit. By the time they were both finished and Lavi had shut the cover, they were greeted by the sight of a very eager Pyrrhus looking over at them. A wide grin was on his face.

"Well? Doesn't it sound cool?" After looking at that book, they must surely be curious about what might be in these ruins by now!

Lavi scratched the back of his head uncertainly, and his gaze shifted away suddenly. I... I don't know Pyrr..." Some of the things he read made him a little nervous. What if they got themselves into trouble by doing this? He still wasn't convinced that this was a good idea.

Valent really didn't like what he saw, so he had to shake his head in response. If at all, he would prefer that they found something better to do, that didn't have anything to do with this supernatural stuff. "Do something else!"
