[Side RP] Visions in the Dark

[blitzkriegzwei]

[OOC: So I had another idea for a side RP... this one isn't combat-based like the other one is, though. It's really kind of an experiment: I'm going to put your characters in certain situations, and I want to see how they react. However, not everyone has a scenario planned out for them, so I might be scavenging around for suggestions if you're one

Natalia stood, silent, just as the room is.

And then her power 'spoke' to her. It whispered words against it's wispy slithers, and she got the feeling of it basically telling her to do 'something'.

So she closed her eyes softly, as if expecting something to happen, and accepting anything that would.

((Oh dear god I hope I didn't just make a fool out of myself. XD Interesting idea, though.))

[blitzkriegzwei]

The voice entered Natalia's head once more.

...I see that you are not the type to simply give your name. I understand. I will get your name one way or another, unless you decide to speak it yourself. However, Now would be as good a time as any to begin...

As the woman's voice faded out, another one faded in to replace it: that of Ivan Braginsky, Natalia's beloved brother.

"Natalia..." The voice sounded very distant. The familiar thump of the Russian's footsteps echoed, even though Ivan himself couldn't be seen. He called to his sister again, this time sounding closer than before: "Natalia..." Then, as if a light had been suddenly turned on, Ivan appeared in front of Natalia. He gave her his usual suspiciously serene smile, then spoke:

"Dear little sister, how have you been?" His words seemed kind enough, but since the speaker was Ivan, the intent could have been anything...

[bela_natalia]

Hm. And didn't she just say that she was our minds? the female nation thought.

But quickly, Natalia's expression changed from neutral to excited, eyes widening at the sight of her brother.

"Brother~♪!" she chirped, and ran towards him, ramming him and latching on to him by the neck. "Where have you been~? We have to get married married married..." Natalia nuzzled into him and continued muttering that single word.

Nothing else mattered to her now. She hadn't seen her brother in such a long time, and it was like he was avoiding her! Her one-track mind about her brother continued on it's course, nearly completely oblivious to the world around her.

[blitzkriegzwei]

(OOC: Oh boy... Bella, I'm going to spoil this for you now: YOU were one of the people I had something disturbing planned for. My question is... how strong is your stomach? At it's "fullest strength," my plan is... nasty. Really nasty. Tell me how far you'd be willing to let me go (Natalia herself won't be hurt, but... yuck) before I drop the bombshell... if I can even make myself do it. X_X Yeah, that sounds stupid/I might be overreacting or overhyping the situation, but I'm testing the waters here. Or something.)

While Natalia was occupied with her brother, a sharp pain shot through her head, and then the mysterious woman's voice came back:

So your name is... Natalia Alfroskaya? I apologize for having to directly reach into your mind, but it didn't seem that you were going to give me your name. It is not something I particularly like to do... And to clarify, I am not your mind itself... all I can do is look inside it for your memories. But please, continue as you were going. Then Ivan himself spoke at last. "Ah, yes, about that

[drastic_shift]

'Speak your name, and then we shall begin.'

Much before that line had been spoken, Iceland had been on his toes. He was suddenly separated from everyone, and so he was far tenser than usual. His legs were set apart as he stood, arms out by his sides and bent at the elbow slightly as if ready to quickly respond to any sign of intended violence.

As the woman asked for his name, he hesitated, a bead of sweat rolling down his jawline. He swallowed, closed his light blue eyes to calm himself, and breathed in and out, in and out.

He opened his eyes again, this time his face serious and his posture a bit more lax. He stood mildly straight with his arms by his sides, his eyes a bit wide and darting around the room as he moved his head ever so slightly on its axis. It wasn't much movement but it was enough to get the feel for his nervousness.

"My name is Sindri Olvirsson."

Matthew looked around in the darkness for a bit, then noticed he didn't hear his brother's voice.

"A-Alfred...?" he asked, clearly unnerved. When he didn't hear any kind of response, he tried again. Still no luck.

Then, a voice started talking. He jumped a bit, he didn't know the voice...

He listened to her, though. Spirit? Well, with what they've already seen... Why not? He didn't like the fact that she could see inside their heart and mind...

But what choice did he have? He breathed a bit, calming himself before he spoke.

"My name is Matthew Williams..."

((Gah, sorry for the crap!post, it's 1:30am. xWx;;))

[blitzkriegzwei]

After a pause, Alfred's excited voice rang throughout the room as he went on and on about some kind of strategy. Slowly, the meeting room of the Allied Forces faded into view, with all of the Allies sitting at a table. Alfred was standing up at the head of the table, babbling away, when he finished:

"...And that's why I HAVE to be the hero for this to work!"

The meeting then drifted into assorted mumbling, with Arthur calling Alfred an idiot, Alfred returning in kind, then Francis calling them both idiots...

Not once of them noticed that Matthew was in the room.

[invisiblemaple]

Matthew looked around when he heard Alfred's voice. Where was he? Wait...

He looked around, knowing immediately where he was.

But how did I...? He watched as they argued, not even noticing him. Wasn't really a change...

After watching for a while, Matt decided to step forward, wondering if they'd even hear him.

"H-Hey, guys...?"

((Fail!Post is fail. =3=;;))

[blitzkriegzwei]

Yao suddenly looked around. "Did any of you hear that, aru?"

Ivan was the first to confirm the noise. "Yes, I thought I heard a little voice... kind of like when I was sitting on Canada for an entire meeting." The large Russian got up, inspected his chair thoroughly, and then sat down. "Well, at least he's not there."

Francis spoke next. "Isn't this kind of like that time we found that poor Canada had just been sitting there for a whole meeting, and we didn't even know he was there."

Alfred shrugged. "I don't see him."

Arthur glared daggers at Alfred. "Sure, you don't see him, but how could you not have heard that? Are you going deaf now, too?" Alfred continued to insist that he couldn't see or hear the Canadian. "I'm sure you can't hear him over your own meaningless noise. Everyone, search the room for Matthew. He's probably right in front of us and we just don't know."

[romano_vargas]

((why is it that these side-rps of yours seem more interesting than the logs? XD;; ))

He had hesitated to enter, but upon seeing the others to do how could he possibly stay behind?

That was the last thing that pretty much went trough his mind before darkness had completely taken over. As soon as that had happened Romano had run around aimlessly in the hopes of escaping. Yet somehow he could feel that he was getting nowhere at all, hell, he wasn't even moving now that he thought about it, just what was this place?

Romano had to calm himself down and the minute he did so he heard that....heavenly voice. Well, it seemed heavenly to him. Just what was this? Before he had the time to truly think that one over the voice had asked him to give his name.

There was a long silence as Romano shifted trough the darkness. It could do no harm playing along right? He swallowed nervously, took in a deep breath and stared straight into the darkness doing his best to control his nerves. “I'm Romano Vargas.” he declared with a quivering voice.

[blitzkriegzwei]

Welcome, Romano. Do not be afraid of what you will see. I will try to avoid anything that will disturb you excessively, but I can make no promises. Let us begin.For a little while, nothing happened. Then, a voice very familiar to Romano broke into the scene

[romano_vargas]

Where did he come from all of a sudden?! Romano stared at him confused. But he soon enough got over that.
“Oi...Oi! I told you not to hang around that potato bastard!” he frowned at his brother and watched him run around. No doubt that this was Feliciano al right. Poor idiot little brother, so foolish, so naïve. God, he didn't have the patience to listen to all his stories, especially if it included that bastard. Romano just simply blocked those stories out.

Thanks to that he almost missed Feliciano's question. “...huh?” It took him a while to put the sentence together. “Oh....right, well...” he frowned and looked away, “It's annoying with that bastard.” was his final answers. He wouldn't admit he liked living with him, no, never would he admit it.

[ibraginski]

It was impossible to see a thing through the deep darkness. Ivan didn't enter alone, but he couldn't feel the presence of anyone near him. He couldn't hear anything either.

Until a voice, coming out of nowhere, started talking to him. He looked around in an attempt to find the source of the mysterious voice, but found nothing. The content of her speech was rather interesting, he had to admit. A spirit that records memories using a unique process was something that made his curiosity to whittle. But memories of what? For what purpose? The only problem was that he was the one that was going to be used in the experiment. He didn't like that part.

'Speak your name, and then we shall begin.'

"May I ask what are we going to begin, exactly? I want a better explanation before giving my name" he tried to get to know more, although he knew he wasn't going to get any further answer. He really didn't like the situation. "I have no choice, do I? You're not going to tell me more, am I right?"

((I hope I did this right :'D))

[blitzkriegzwei]

Relax. I have no intention of hurting you in this process. You will... how to explain this... you will become part of some visions. It will be a bit like having a dream. Simply react to what you see and hear as if you were... "living the situation," so to speak. Perhaps you can call it... a simulation?

A single sunflower appeared in the darkness, tall and bright. In fact, it was almost exactly Ivan's height- were it a person, it might have been making perfect eye contact with him.

Is that a satisfactory explanation? If so, give me your name, and you shall see this and much, much more. I will let you out when we are finished.

[ibraginski]

Ivan let a small sound of surprise come from his mouth. He wasn't expecting to get an answer at all. Not to mention a convincing proof as well. He looked at the tall sunflower, which was kindly looking back at him, as kind as a sunflower could look into someone's heart, if it had eyes, Ivan thought.

"Your explanation is satisfactory. I wasn't expecting to get answers so fast".

In fact, he couldn't think of anything else to bring up as an objection. What could a simulation do of bad?

"The name is Ivan Braginski. I'm looking forward to see what has been planned for me".

((I really like this side rp idea~))
