Glorious Escapism Roleplay

Toutaku · Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2011 9:39 pm Post subject: Run Through The Forest

[The interior of most caves you'd immediately think of would be something dark, dank and slimey, with no end of creepy crawlies and dripping stalactites. Say any such thing about the not-so-humble abode of a certain Miss Anomly Ourobo, and you would be likely to receive a strong slap, or perhaps a rake from her almost too sharp nails. Damn it, you daren't insult this girl's class. Anomly had sophistication running out of her goddamn ears. From her voluptuous figure, to her tinted irises, she was every inch a woman, and Christ, she had been raised to be one, too. Her Snakemother had seen to that.

As she shook her hair from her face and walked into the beautiful Alternian night, she sighed slighty. She wanted to go and play with some of the other trolls, but her Snakemother, her responisiblities as someone important, and her own self-hating criticisms told her to go train in combat and perhaps work on her manners. As always, she found her index finger curled and between her teeth, the familiar pressure a reassurance and a reminder of sho she should be.

Huffing and pushing her childish wants down into a small pit somewhere in the deep recesses of her stomach, she marched into the forest, with the intention of finding some monster to gut.

Cleanly and elegantly, of course. The girl had class ]

[The forest was only small - in fact, it couldn't have been more than a few miles in its radius - and nor was it particularly pleasing, aesthetically. But to Adelia, it was the greatest place in the whole of Alternia. Because like the rest of the world, she could make it into whatever she wanted to. In her mind, it was a vast, magnificent jungle, dense with all kinds of wondrous treasures and ominous creatures.

But not too ominous, the young girl reminded herself as she tore through the undergrowth, unafraid of whatever may be near her. After all, nothing could be as scary as the monst--
No, Adelia corrected herself quickly. There was no monster on the coast that day, like Griffinmom said. Just a poor purple-blood who had a bit of a fall and scraped his face. Anomly was right, I need to grow up and...

The sound of someone - or something - stomping on a twig made the girl's thoughts trail off, and she grasped the Blunderbuss tighter in her tiny hands, her stomach springing alive with excitement. Boy, whoever stepped on that twig sounded angry! Maybe she'd finally be able to poach an infamous Musclebeast, or, better yet, find a friend to go on adventures with her.

Adelia progressed towards the source of the noise, her mind filled with thoughts of adventure, wanderlust, and, most of all, companionship.]

[Anomly tried to keep her level of annoyance down to a minimum as she fussed her way around the shitty little forest. She swore she'd be at risk of an ulcer one of these days. As she charged onwards, she was suddenly aware of a rustle from a nearby bush. Wishing to whatever deities governed over small, irritating, obviously friend-deprived thorns in her side, she slowly turned around and looked in the general direction of the disturbance.

There were not enough palms to decimate her face to create an adequate combo for what she saw. A small bush, wobbling slightly and eminating hushed giggling, a horrendously oversized blunderbuss potruding from one side, a pair of feet and a shorts-clad, softly swaying bottom on the other side.

'I don't want to live on thiss planet anymore...' She thought.

The sheer idiocy of Adelia's hiding spot offended her sensitives in a big way. Her stomach churned, and she could almost feel the ulcer forming. Holding her middle fingernail back with her thumb, Anomly could not bear to let such an inviting target go to waste, especially after the pain this was causing her rapidly diminishing sense of self-preservation.

Swiftly, she darted forwards and flicked the poor unsuspecting troll on the rump with enough force to lightly rip the shorts and (hopefully) score the skin enough to teach her to hide in better places. Or just leave her alone. Yeah, that worked, too.

"Immature child." She said, looking at Adelia with borderline contempt.]

[Adelia dove inside a nearby bush upon catching sight of the silhouette which appeared to have materialised in front of the young troll in a matter of seconds. She managed to force back a small, overexcited squeak as she dug her index and middle fingers of each hand into the mud beneath her, then smeared the dirt on her face in some fashion akin to primitive warpaint. Oh, how she wished she'd bought along the headdress that Griffonmom lovingly fashioned out of her own feathers, when Adelia went through that phase of wanting to be one of those Nakey Indiams she'd read about in her Earth books. She'd look truly fearsome! Her prey would cower from Chief Fourhorns. Speaking of her prey, what even...

Oh. Adelia couldn't help feeling more than a little disappointed when she peered out from her hiding place, only to see her mighty prey was actually the not-so-mighty Anomly, the snooty troll who lived in a cave on the other side of the forest but, for some reason, didn't let Adelia try to explore such an amazing cave. Heck, she'd never seen Anomly explore anything, ever. A lesser troll would have pitied the girl for not going on adventures, but Adelia knew she must have secretly liked adventures, because, well, who doesn't?

Aha, Adelia thought to herself as she let the bush enclose her once more so she could conduct her master plan, unable to stop herself from audibly chuckling. That grumpy ol' serpent could sure use a scare. She thinks she's sssso grown up.
Adelia cackled a little louder as she imitated the slightly older troll's quirk, letting her guard slip. Realizing her mistake, she parted the branches around her once more, checking on her victim. Aw shoot, she ran away...

Just as that thought cross her mind, the plucky young troll suddenly became aware of the searing pain in her rump. What happened?!
As she fell back, whimpering and clutching at her painful rear, Adelia's gaze met that of a familiar, green-eyed troll's.
"Anomly, that huuuurt!" The young girl whined, everything suddenly making sense. Why, she oughta. . .
"I-I mean, who dares mess with Chief Fourhorns?" Adelia decided to correct herself quickly, scrambling to her feet and puffing her chest out, trying to look as ferocious as she could despite wishing she had worn iron underpants that day.]

["Adelia. Darling." She said this last word with as much sarcasm as she could muster. "You jusst called me by name and then assked me who I wass. Your incessent playing asside, you could do well to at least pretend to have ssome degree of culture or intelligence. Perhapss if you sspent the time you wasste gallivanting around doing something usseful, you'd have ssome mannerss. Or at the very leasst ssome decent underwear."

Anomly smiled a wry smile and turned, intent on heading back to her cave and reading a good novel by Troll Agatha Christie. Now, there was a woman who knew a thing about manners.

'Let'ss be fair, Anomly' Said her mind. 'Ssneaking up on her like that wass fun. Almosst like a game. Do you remember them, Anomly? Gamess were fun. I miss them. You miss them. Remember?'

Once again her finger was in her mouth, and she stood there gnawing, hoping the trecherous thoughts would let her be. She even temporarily forgot about the annoyingly annoying annoyance behind her.]

["I -was- pretending, silly." The younger troll shouted at Anomly's turned back, with as much venom in her voice as was possible for her to gather, despite the hindrance from the dull pain in her rear and her now quivering lower lip. "I was pretending to be a Nakey Indiam. Maybe you should try to have some fun sometimes."

After the lack of reply from the other girl, who now appeared to have her hand to her mouth, Adelia pouted and scuffed the dirt with her boot, left to her thoughts. 'Geez, what a weirdo. -She's- grumpy all the time, and -I'm- the one who has no friends...'

She stopped herself there, letting out a little huff. It just didn't seem fair. Adelia may not have known many trolls, but the ones she did know were always angry and trying to be grown ups. She considered returning to Griffonmom's nest and spending the rest of the evening reading about the adventures of Pupa Pan, or perhaps watching a Troll Indiana Jones film, when a thought suddenly struck her, and she sheepishly lifted the waistband of her shorts, peering down them thoughtfully, before shouting at Anomly once more, out of a want to be heard rather than actual anger.
"And what's wrong with my underwear, anyway?"]

[Being brought back to the world of the living by Adelia's shout, Anomly composed herself and turned around. Arms crossed, she flicked her hair from her face and smiled her knowing grin.

"The problem with thosse... Thingss, Adelia, iss that pantiess decorated with what appear to be pink and yellow ssmiling baby grubss are in no way befitting of a girl of your age. You're ssix ssolar ssweepss. Not four. Feel free to disscuss the finer pointss of lingerie when you can wear ssomething that doessn't make me want to vomit, you child." She said the last word as if it were an insult.

Turning from the small troll again, Anomly made as if to leave.]

["But they're comfy," Adelia whinged, stomping her foot in a mini-tantrum. "Unlike those silly looking grown up things I found when I snuck into your cave last week."
She made sure to add more bitterness to the "grown up", and puffed her chest out once more with pride, for as far as she was concerned, sneaking into the other troll's hive was her greatest adventure yet.

As she was gloating about her escapades, Adelia felt her lips curving into a small smile. A sneaky smile. A smile full of implications, accompanied by the tell-tale gleam of another trick that crossed the young girl's trademark yellow and black eyes, no signs of physical maturity yet surfacing in her irises. And, as the events which were about to unfold would tell, there wasn't much mental maturity behind those eyes, either.

"In fact, I bet you're wearing them right now!"
With that admittedly not-so-adventurer-like quip, Adelia took a few long, quick strides closer to the elder troll, unfazed by the noise her boots made, and the clang of her Blunderbuss as it fell to the floor. She hooked her fingers under the belt-loops of her foe's leather garments, and tugged downwards hard, hoping to humiliate the girl regardless of Anomly's belt, or the way her hips hugged the trousers.

And, perhaps Pupa Pan was right, and with enough lovely, wonderful thoughts and a sprinkle of fairy dust, anything is possible, for somehow, against all the odds, Anomly's leather trousers dropped to the ground.
"Ha!" Adelia barked, pointing at the other troll's undergarments. Black cotton briefs, with lace adorning the sides. She thought they looked silly, and didn't hesitate in telling her new "kismesis" (Whatever that word meant, it was a word that Griffonmom used once) exactly that.
"They're sssoo boring!"

Deep down, she knew the speed of her words was due to the need to get her words out before the she-serpent took revenge, but of course, a good adventurer doesn't listen to fear.]

[It took a moment for what had just happened to sink in. She was standing in a shitty little forest, with her trousers round her ankles, and her comfy black panties on show to a terribly annoying little girl. A girl who had the sheer cheek to insult her panties. Well, she couldn't have that.

Pulling her feet free of her boots, Anomly quickly shot behind the little adventurer (still quite trouserless) and plunged both hands down the rear of Adelia's shorts. Taking two strong handfulls of gaily patterened fabric in her powerfil grip, Anomly lifted with all her strength. She was faintly aware of light, but frantic kicking at her mid thigh, and she let her satisfied smile show on her face.

"How do you like thiss game, Adelia!?" She cried, giggling horribly. "Oh, how much fun we're having!"

She was faintly aware of the small trickle of blood running into her mouth from biting her lip, but it didn't dissuade her from her shenanigans. As she could lift no higher, the serpantine troll gave a few vicious bounces, and laughed a little harder.]

[Adelia didn't really have time to process what happened next. One moment she was standing proud, having ashamed Anomly. The next, she was being hoisted off the ground, presumably by her underwear, of all things, and was being bounced repeatedly.

After taking a second to take in the nature of the scenario, the young adventurer became aware once more of the searing pain - previously confined to her rump, which was now spreading to the entirety of her lower half, and becoming more intense each time she was bounced. Naturally, giving her Blunderbuss a wistful gaze did nothing, so Adelia instead decided to do the first thing that came naturally to her - to throw a hissy fit.

"Augh, let go of me!"
She accentuated each syllable with light kicks to Anomly's bare thigh - 'the poor girl must have something wrong with her think pan', she thought, as she noticed the older troll hadn't bothered to step back into her trousers, and, ultimately, something compelled her not to actively try and hurt her attacker - Compassion? Sympathy? No. Instead, Adelia decided, she still wanted to be friends with the violent, serpent-esque girl.

Reluctantly ceasing her struggling, Adelia murmured something under her breath, blinking back tears from the pain, which seemed like it would never end. An adventurer couldn't cry, after all.
"I'm sorry for embarrassing you, Anomly."]

[Having received the apology she wanted, Anomly let the poor girl fall to the floor.

"So you should be, child. Now compose yourself and get yourself home."

Despite herself, Anomly was having fun. Though in an overly violent way, she was still enjoying herself. Playing was fun.]

Sorry for the short post. A little stumped for ideas.

[Sniffling slightly - although not enough to even let Anomly get the slightest hint she was upset - Adelia tried to stagger to her feet as gracefully as the dull throbbing in her lower half would allow, brushing the dirt from her shorts. She wanted to shout at the Ophidian-esque troll, to tell her that she wasn't a child, but Adelia still had her heart set on making friends, and that was no way to treat a new friend.

The adventurer gulped nervously, swallowing any insults that may have otherwise flown from her mouth, and - meeting Anomly's cold, serpentine glare - decided to propose a truce.
"Okay, fine. I'll go home." She started, trying (and failing) to restrain a small grin from creeping over her face. "If you promise to play with me tomorrow."]

It's fine, friend. This is mostly dialogue at the moment. Small posts are small.

[Sighing audibly, Anomly Ourobo admitted defeat.

"Well, fine." She said. "Ass long ass you agree to never wear thosse terrible thingss again." Anomly doubted they'd be wearable after her abuse, anyway. Walking back to her discarded trousers and boots, she dressed herself and made sure to tighten her belt another notch, just in case.

It wasn't so bad, the prospect of playing with Adelia again tomorrow. She would have an excuse to torment the girl a little more, which she was slowly realising was both hilarious and beneficial for holding back the inevitable ulcer. Besides, something about her company amused her. It wasn't boring, and Anomly hated being bored.

'bessidess,' she reasoned, 'at the very leasst, it'ss a good example of how not to act.

Now fully dressed and ready to go, she turned back to the quivering troll.

"Sso. I guesss I'll ssee you tomorrow then, kid."]

["O-Oh. Yeah. I'll meet you outside your, uh, your cave at noon, I guess." Adelia beamed at her new friend, having to curl her toes inside her scuffed ankle boots a little to stop herself from jumping for joy and embarrassing herself even more. She never expected Anomly to agree, after all.

A few moments of uncomfortable silence - and perhaps something else entirely - lingered in the wintry night air, and Adelia, not knowing how to properly bid farewell to her friend, quickly turned on her heels and bolted back towards her hive.

'Wow, a new adventure!', the small girl chuckled as she leapt over tree roots and upturned piles of leaves, thinking back to her newest (and for now, only) friend. There was something odd about Anomly, Adelia decided. It wasn't her weird underwear, it wasn't the green tinge her irises had developed, nor her strange, curvy figure, which the younger troll had seen some of her elders sporting. It wasn't even the fact she didn't like playing all that much. No, instead, it had more to do with what she felt when she was around Anomly. The concept was alien, that Adelia found someone she actually wanted to go on adventures with. Yet at the same time, it stirred an excitement in the pit of her stomach, like when she found an unexplored grove in the forest, or read fantastic stories about the world around her.

She wasted no time in running home, and although she could navigate the forest decently in the dark, by the time Adelia made it back to her hive, her breath was so ragged she couldn't even muster the fluency in her speech to tell her Griffonmom about the events of the evening.]

As Adelia left and ran back home, Anomly let her shoulders untense themselves, and began the longish walk back to her cave and snakemother. Upon reaching said abode, she kicked off her boots in the hallway and trudged up to her room. Among the freakishly neat assorted bottles of nail varnish, nail files, nail sharpeners and other assorted nailcare items, her computer beeped with an unread message. Hoping it would make her day slightly less surreal, she decided to humour whoever it was for a second.
