lucathiaIs anyone interested in writing a Legend of Sun Knight round robin story with me? :3 I would very much like to work on a collaborative story. XD;
The basic idea behind it is that several authors will take turns writing the story and passing it along. There will be a central idea, but after that, anything goes! You just have to write a certain word count, and then you pass it on to the next person. The story doesn't have to make sense by the end. (In fact, I'm hoping it will be utter crack, though maybe it could turn out serious) The aim is just to have fun. :)
I used to looove writing 3 word stories where you had to pass on the story after three words and the next person had to continue it with 3 words. The results were always hilarious because you never knew how the next person would continue it. (Though, I'm proposing more than 3 words here, hahaha. Maybe something like 200~500 words. Not too long that it would take a long time to write, but not too short that nothing substantive has happened.)
If we can get maybe at least three authors on board (more can feel free to join in at anytime!), we can get something going. :D /wishful thinking
ETA: I'm going to try starting a Round Robin fic here in this post! :3;;
1. I will make a comment with the beginning of a fic, with a title in the subject line. Reply to this comment with a continuation of the story.
2. Each continuation only needs to be around 100~500 words, but we won't be keeping track or anything. XD; Shorter or longer = both are okay.
3. You only have to wait for one other author to comment before you in order to take another turn.
4. You can feel free to start your own Round Robin stories too! (Just make a new comment and label the subject line with the title for the new fic and we can start threading with you! \o\)
5. If you are an anonymous commenter, feel free to sign your part with your name, or you could keep it anonymous if you want. XD;
6. Feel free to join in at any time!
7. Feel free to comment/respond to the stories!

Re: Reply 2 Story 2: A Mission
Date: 2014-04-13 05:50 am (UTC)Ceo glared at the black caterpillar in his arms and grudgingly shuffled out of the door. He was grateful that he was completely covered by an archaic armour. He was at least able to somewhat maintain his dignity whilst carrying an overgrown worm... an annoyingly content black worm.
He did his best to ignore the pointing and whispering that followed them both. He was able to do quite a good job considering the ridiculous picture that he and his leader formed. He actually thought that he'd be able to discreetly slip away to their "travelling troupe" carriage, until he saw his storm knight platoon marching in their direction.
"What's up with that weird guy?" one of his platoon members mumbled.
"Not sure... that really is a very strange armour though. Its so weird and rusted, an absolute embarrassment to anyone who calls themselves a knight. That guy over there should take our captain as an example! He'd never be caught dead wearing something as disgraceful as that!" someone else interjected.
Storm felt his "package" trembling slightly from ill contained laughter.
"Wait a second... Is that a person he's carrying?" someone asked.
Storm flinched, it was about time to leave.
"Hey you. Come over here!" His vice captained shouted.
Storm considered his options, he could either toss Grisia onto his platoon and run like hell or he could throw this annoying worm over his shoulders and run as if his teacher's threat actually came to fruition and a pack of women were trying to gang rape him.
He couldn't deny that the first option was pretty attractive...
Nonetheless, he didn't want to have to cover up for the Sun Knight's secret hobby of dressing up like a flamboyant pirate. So with a huff, he lugged his leader onto his shoulders and ran like there was no tomorrow.
"Hey, are you running away?! Come back here!"
Ceo figured he'd have a better chance at escaping his... own platoon... by taking a detour through the Judgement's Complex. He sharply turned left and entered the dreaded area of the Church. All seemed to be going fine, even though he managed to startle quite a few judgement knights, until Grisia decided to begin squirming around.
"Deatheo?! What is going on? You're going so fast that I feel like I'm going to fall! If I fall on my face, I'll make sure that you'll have an extra bundle of paperwork to correct this month!"
.Trying to maintain a strong grip on his now jittery luggage, he almost crashed into a dark pillar... a very angry dark pillar.
The Judgement Knight merely glared at the rusty old knight who swerved around him and nearly let the screaming bundle in his arms crash onto the floor. His frown intensified as the pair was soon followed by a very angry, very loud mob of storm knights.
Recognizing the armour, Judgement sighed in annoyance.
"They only had to discreetly leave the church... not cause a stampede." He thought angrily.
Storm shivered as he felt a slightly murderous aura behind him.
Readjusting Grisia onto his shoulders, he lunged through an opening and finally saw his two very annoyed companions waiting besides a very colourful carriage.
Slightly out of breath he threw Grisia into the carriage, and while ignoring the latter's outraged cries, panted "Let's get... out... of here!".
Vival looked confused with the other's disarrayed state but after seeing several knights running behind him, some even pulling out their swords, he rapidly took the horses' reigns from an amused Earth and quickly ordered the carriage forwards...

Date: 2014-04-18 11:36 pm (UTC)Grisia picked up a wig and sputtered, "You couldn't have made me a clown instead?! I wouldn't have even needed to buy any make up with my facial mask supplies! And do you know how quickly I'll tan without a shirt?"
Ceo cautiously offered, "You see... It wouldn't be much of a performance or a cover if we only had a bard playing. Earth had to have someone dancing to his accompaniment."
Vival was suddenly glad that the bard costume had already been taken when he came in to choose his outfit.
In contrast to Moon's relieved expression, Georgo looked furious at the thought of spending entire days with a half-naked man dancing in front of him. Damn that Sun. Not only will seducing anyone be ten times harder, but he'll be stealing all the limelight as I play for him in the background!
Giving a trademarked Sun-style smile with more tooth than usual, Grisia said, “Sun hopes the God of Light's radiance shall illuminate Sun's understanding of the far-seeing plans of His most benevolent and wise Pope, though Sun fears the rays of enlightenment will not be enough to penetrate the clouds of confusion without the gracious assistance of Sun's brothers. What Sun is most unable to comprehend is the method of the execution of the God of Light's divine will. Does He merely wish for his holy knight children to spread healing laughter through the blessed land of His children's brothers and sisters?”
_______________
^.^" Probably the toughest part about even attempting a fanfic is that I'm not good at characterizing people, so they always sound OOC. I tried to keep it short to reduce some of that. And just to make it hopefully clearer, Sun wants to know what kind of insane plan by the Pope requires him to wear a belly dancing uniform.

Date: 2014-04-22 05:04 pm (UTC)"Sigh...No we, in fact..." said Ceo sighing in exhaustion, and making more pauses to take breath. When he noticed everyone was looking at him he corrected his way of speaking. "Sun wants to know what we are going to do," he explained to the others.
Then he turned towards Sun. "We are going to infiltrate into the Kingdom of MoonOrchid as the Spotlight troupe, to investigate the supposedly rising of a new church. We have 'permission' from the MoonOrchid Kingdom but we have to take care of the Church of the God of War since rumors said the new God is close to the God of War."
Grisia nodded to the explanation in understanding. Then he asked, "Being the Spotlight in the night is quite satisfactory but I worry it will blind everyone in the morning, perhaps even the his grace the pope was blinded by its splendor"
"Yep, it was the pope's idea to also promote the God of light... I know it is somewhat misleading but at least it was better than the Closet Lights, the Ding dongs, the Fabulous Lightning or the Backlight Dudes..."
"Then the pope must rejoice for when Sun comes back, Sun will give him his most sincere and caring gratitude for such a 'magnificent' names. Anyways, back to topic, may Sun inquire which deity fell down to earth to grace with its embrace the lands with its unending love and care?"
"That, is what we are going to investigate"
"Oh, then it is a truly loving God, for it to spread its arms in a celebration for everyone to enjoy its graces. Such a magnificent splendorous day it is indeed!"
"No, we somewhat know the location or at least the area where they are located..."
"So many brothers and sisters in festivity! Festivals are indeed a blessing for everyone in the lands. Hopefully this will help spread the love of the Gods, hopefully also the God of light which is always embracing its childrens in its warm graces. They are indeed in need of a satisfying celebration for the coming of this new deity. Rejoice your hearts brothers and sisters, since for each beating of your passion your God gets revitalized."
Ceo was so exhausted that for a moment he just stared at Grisia in a daze. Thankfully he was still able to answer, "They are not that many, they are about a hundred or so. Now I'm going to sleep. If you need more answers ask the others."
"..."
He wanted to ask more about the case but Ceo seemed too exhausted to answer and he was too lazy to ask in Sun-style. He actually could speak any way he wanted since as of now he was a random - but handsome - belly dancer, however he kept that way of speaking when in private with his companions to make them suffer as much as he was suffering wearing that outrageous costume... How dare they!
As soon as Storm turned to sleep, everyone kept in silence. Georgo even pretended to be asleep, so as to not be one of Sun's-speech victims. Vival didn't have any such plan, but he was so engrossed in making more realistic his new identity that he was not even paying attention. In fact, he was even practicing reciting false enchantments, perhaps he should ask Sun for advice since inside rummors say - though none will ever admit to really know -, he can do magic and is even proficient at it.
And so their journey was a boring and uncomfortable one in a carriage. With many bumps and stops. They ate and slept in the way. Had to change horses in two occasions and in other three occasions unfortunate thieves appeared. They were the unluckiest since two groups decided from the start that Grisia was the weakest of the group... and the last thought it would be a good idea to attack the knight while it was sleeping...

Date: 2014-04-22 05:08 pm (UTC)And so, rumors spread and people started talking.
"Have you heard of the Spotlight troupe?" said a random man
"The one with the strongest magician/clairvoyant in the world?" answered another anonymous
"Yeah that group! Recently I heard their knight is so strong it even protects itself while sleeping!"
"Really? I heard the bard was the one actually behind all the magic, they said his music is otherworldly as well as his looks!" said a random woman with dreamy eyes.
"They also have a dancer have they not? Perhaps it was also his doing?" asked random woman's friend
"What can a belly dancer do?!" said everyone in unison
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sun was getting goosebumps. 'Perhaps I'm getting a cold?' he thought 'I hate adventuring!'

Date: 2014-05-09 01:11 am (UTC)As far as history knows, gods don't really have an "good" (just imagine the teritorial war!) relationship with each other so having any god vessels at the "descent" would be outright disastrous! Confronting a representative of the god is one thing, but confronting a god himself is just plain suicidal! Hence Sun find himself dragged in this undercover mission. Hence, he is wearing a ridculous belly danceer's outfit (don't ask!), and hence no one should know that a dignified, respectable Holy Knight (the head of it, on top of it all) is on shady journey that can even rise a dispute that can cause another holy war! And he is not alone. Sun looked ahead with Ceo winking (don't blame me, it's a habit!) at every eligible women they passed by, Georgo sereneding every women Ceo winked at, and Vival who is mumbling something under his breathe.
It's over, they're dead! I can't even put my facial mask on! There's a lot of mosquitoes feasting on my super exposed milky skin and I'm having rashes at these cheap customes! (Give it to Pope to be stingy!)
"What are you doing here!?" Someone shouted at the back of their little caravan.
Sun stiffened recognizing the voice in an instant that he didn't dare to look at the owner of the voice. With his other companions being petrified on sight, Sun peeked, and there standing arrogantly at the middle of the plaza, at the middle of the day, was the Son of God of War wearing a clown outfit!
Pointed hat with bells attached, heavily-done make-up, clorful barage of red, blue and green completed with an elven shoes.
Now Sun was thankful he wasn't dressed as a clown.
"And why are you---pft!" the Son of God of War dropped laughing at Grisia "You look pathetic!!!"
Actually, you looked more ridiculous, Grisia thought deadpanned.
"Eh? What's the commotion going on here!?" Another familiar voice, and just as Grisia thought, Awaitsun came sweeping in with his horse, wearing a royal guard outfit ready to apprehend the cause of this trouble.
WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY ONE DECENT HERE!? cough, I mean why is Awaitsun here!?
A well-hidden surprise came over Awaitsun's expression before it went blank as he recognize everyone in the side of the road (disguise remember!? what's the point of disguise if everyone can pinpoint who is who!!!!) As if, reading Suns's thought, Awaitsun dismounted and said through telepathy 'If you are going to infiltrate a place, do it where you can really infiltrate it!' Sun can't believe you can even hear this loud of a laughter through telepathy!
"Good Sir, don't be rash, we are only performing for our good audience." Earth said, continuing his serenade and beckoning at the crowd gathering infront of the caravan. Little kids, women and spectators alike came to see this group of (gorgeously handsome-the women outnumbered the men by 4 out of five) entertainers.
"Sun, go!" Ceo shoved Sun onto the space suddenly appearing on the center of the plaza.
"What-" Grisia staggered and infront of him is an omininous crowd, chanting, 'Dance, dance, dance."
God of light, ever merciful and benevolent, please kill me now, or better yet, kill everyone else!!!
Georgo didn't stopped playing, and Awaitsun was just as excited as the others to see Sun Knight dance! (or downright humiliated, or which ever is more embarrasing!)
With murderous aura permeating every cell in Sun's body, Grisia just smiled radiantly. And his body started to move.
Hah! If there's one thing his master was proud of him was his gracefulness! Sun started to walk, then sway a little, then glide, then raised his hand...he made this small every-day gestures but it was so graceful and elegant that everyone who doesn't know Sun can actually see him sparkling and...miraculously dancing!
Cheater, Georgo muttered
Is he starting yet?. Vival asked
Boooo, Ceo thought
