Description Character: Alf
Color: Red
Stage: 2

D. Everything is fire and everything is not okay.

This scene was more inspired by RP than painted literally. It's also a long story and the posts look pretty ridiculous out of context. I grabbed a few, just the same! It was Alf's first moment back in the human world, and also the first time he took his collar off in Rp.
XD It didn't turn out like I wanted it to, and I'd like to try again some day, but I'm glad I 'finished' it anyway.

Grawlf-04/16/2017

Alf got what he deserved. Maybe not for this one little incident, but for all of them together. A payback that had been biding its time. Waiting. He'd just been bitten by the karma snake, and he knew it as soon as the air got still. His nose filled in the rest. He was in a house. Cori was here. Someone was cooking. And there was a thin wall between him and human civilization- one that he had already poked some of his claws into because he couldn't help but swing an arm for balance at the sudden, disorienting change. Alf was FROZEN. He was afraid to breathe too heavily. If he MOVED he might kill somebody. He still had enough of his marbles to blink at Cori, with half of his thirty two shark teeth.
What did you DO.

Themascura-04/16/2017

Cori stood stock still for a long, long time. It felt like an eternity. She waited for a noise, yelling, thunderous footsteps- any kind of sign that she'd accidentally ported Alf out of the game with her. There was only silence for a while, and then Andy's voice calling questioningly into the hallway. Her shoulders relaxed. Her hands slowly slid down from her puffy face. She turned, slowly, stepping over a discarded death star pillow in the process. Her desk passed through her view, cluttered with colorful jars filled with more pennies and more sea glass, her laptop and books. Then her bookcase, filled with comics and plants and romance novels. Her dresser, closet and bathroom door followed, all against one wall.

And then finally toward her bedroom door. And Alf.

She clapped both hands over her mouth and stared up at him. His face was at least half teeth right now. She took a half-step back, and then remembered how long his reach was and bolted to the other side of her room, climbing on her bed to give her some more distance. "Yeah!" She called toward Andy, never taking her eyes off Alf.


krepta-04/16/2017

Andy frowned harder to himself. Cori had answered, but it had come from her bedroom. He hadn't heard her come in. She wasn't that sneaky, and he had ears like a russian nun. Something about her tone sounded off. He took a step towards the bedroom.

"You're home early," he said conversationally. Another step. "Didn't hear you come in." He reached his hand towards the doorknob and slowly, quietly started to turn it.


Grawlf-04/16/2017

Alf watched Cori go like a stork watching a fish swim around in a pond. DON'T YOU FUCKING GO NO WHERE.

That did nothing to change the fact that he was afraid to move. What if the floor gave out. What if he took both of them with him. HE'D be fine, but nobody else would. He didn't know if there was ground under him or apartments. Alf picked his claws out of the wall as quietly as he could and had a minor panic attack when he heard another voice that sounded far too interested in Cori for his liking. He caught the door knob turning in his periphery.
Oh holy fuck no.

He stretched a leg out and pressed the back portion of his boot against the door. Please be a door that opens inward. Please. PLEASE.

Back to Cori. He put both hands in front of him, all claw, but seemed to be doing it to make a point. You are the world's biggest moron. "What did you DO." He said it through his teeth, as quietly as he could.
"PUT ME BACK."


Themascura-04/16/2017

"Uh-huh." She answered Andy distractedly, "I took a shortcut through a video game." She added. Didn't matter if he thought it was absurd. He helped people identify weird variations of vampires for a living. She'd been telling him the god's honest truth and he could just learn to trust her, dang it.

"I, um, I brought home company." She added helpfully. Until she saw the doorknob turning- mostly because Alf had stuck his leg infront of it. She panicked, flapped her hands wildly, then snatched up a wooky pillow and held it to her chest like a shield.

"NO! Don't come in!!!" She yelped at the door, "I don't-" She squeezed her pillow. It growled loudly. Alf was trying to be quiet, but Andy could hear a cheeto drop from another room. She knew he'd hear, and then he'd ask QUESTIONS and-

"I didn't- Not on purpose! I'm sorry! I just- you licked my face and the sun was in my eyes-" She touched one black eye with the tips of her fingers, mostly out of reflex. It hurt. She was a dumb bunny. She winced, sucked in a breath, and blinked rapidly.

"I CAN'T. I dropped my phone!" She half wailed, lifting the wooky pillow to her head like a hat and pulling it, arms down, over her ears. She turned in a circle on her bed, the mattress creaking under her weight, and stared at the window across from her like she'd never seen it before. Then she glanced at Alf out of the corner of her eye, a calculating gleam in it.


krepta-04/16/2017

The door didn't budge, Cori screamed. Andy's ears twitched and he frowned at the wooden barrier between him and the end of the day's current mystery. Then there was a myriad of various other sounds-- something made a gargling growling noise-- the sound he knew to be one of Cori's childish pillows. The word 'company' clicked and he sat back a little, scowling at the door, brows trying to touch his nose. There were more sounds-- hurried whispering, the sound of a bed creaking. Andy's face twisted with disgust.

"Jesus fucking Christ, Cori, at least put a sock on the doorknob!" He called through the door exasperatedly. He hadn't known Cori had even been capable of a sex life, and he supposed she was an adult and he couldn't begrudge her it, but ugh. He stalked back towards the kitchen, feeling vaugely sickened.

Grawlf-04/16/2017

He made another face.
Well just TELL ALL why don't you!
He felt like he was in a sixteen year olds bedroom. Look at the things she owns. Andy was the dad. The angry dad with a shotgun. There were four different sets of alarms going off in Alf's head and he didn't know which one he was supposed to listen to. If the angry dad-guy called the cops, there'd be no where to hide. Literally. He was not going to fit in a closet. He was not going to fit under a bed. He could not pretend to be a lamp.

"Get another one." He growled, frantically glancing at the bedroom door and trying to keep his foot planted there without having to sacrifice balance. Any minute now, Andy would come in. Andy would see ALL. Andy made a convenient assumption and left them alone. Alf just.. gawked at the bedroom door for a while with bricks for eyebrows.
Huh.
Not a virgin then.

He picked up the dresser and put it in front of the door. Then made a come hither finger at Cori. He didn't know what he was going to do, but this... this was just. Just. Just-
This time I'm gonna kill her.

Themascura-04/16/2017

Cori opened her mouth and shut it again, staring at the door behind Alf. Wait, did he think- What?! Where had he even gotten the idea- She'd never had so much as a boyfriend before! He knew that! What the hell did he think she'd done, gone out and hired a male prostitute? Picked up a stranger and brought them home for a good time? She was so flaberghasted that she didn't snap out of it until she saw Alf move the dresser.

"From where, my magic hat? I'm sorry, Alf, I can't! Not until tomorrow, at least, but I think the arcade is closed at least an extra day for Easter-" She was muttering anxiously, actually feeling really bad about the whole thing. It was like she'd kidnapped him. Accidentally, anyway. "Wait, Andy! COME BACK! Don't leave-" She shouted. Alf crooked a finger at her. She felt her stomach drop. She pressed herself back against the wall, once again producing her pillow as a shield between them as she began to creep sideways toward the window. Maybe, if she moved slowly and quietly, he wouldn't guess what she intended.

krepta-04/16/2017

Andy's ears perked again. He had been ignoring Cori's weird ass garbled explanation about video games and-- Andy, don't leave. Andy's stomach twisted. Was the man who was in there the one who had given her a black eye? She sounded distressed now, and not over him discovering some secret tryst. He stormed towards the door and pounded on it with a fist.

"You have thirty seconds to open the door," he growled in his best angry werewolf voice. "You have picked the wrong house to cause trouble in. Now, or the cops will be the least of your worries."

Grawlf-04/16/2017

She had one thing going for her. He wasn't willing to lurch across the room- until he noticed the window. All bets were off. If she got a way, he'd be stuck. He'd have to figure out his own way in a world he hadn't seen for Twenty, going on TWENTY ONE years. NU UH. NO WAY. She owed him a little more than an I'm sorry and I dropped my phone. She didn't get to just LEAVE. She had to fix this.

He crouched. All hands and feet touched the ground like a lion ready to pounce. Then the door man came back and Alf looked over his shoulder panic-faced again. FUCK. FUCK. He looked rapidly between Cori and the door. Thirty seconds.

Fuuuuuck.
Alf reached for his collar and dug around the base, then started pulling up, HARD. It popped off all at once, like a wine bottle that had just been uncorked. There was a POOF. A flash of green smoke. And the sound of lose ibuprofen bouncing off the walls.

Themascura-04/16/2017

Alf dropped down to all fours. Cori bolted for the window, losing a shoe in the process. Andy started banging on the door, demanding someone answer it. He was strong. Strong enough to lift her like she was nothing at all. He could probably budge that dresser in a little while- and destroy her things while he was at it. And Alf might have actually for the first time ever actually be scaring her, but he HAD been just snatched out of his comfortable world by surprise. He was probably just as scared as he was angry. Right? He'd calm down. She didn't want him to get hurt!

"Andy, wait!!!" She yelled again, "Don't break the door! I just- This is all a huge misunderstanding. I can explain-" And then Alf was tugging at his head- Alf jail again? She laughed hysterically. Here? Now?! Did he think that was going to accomplish anything? There was a 'pop' noise and suddenly she couldn't see for all the green smoke. Something pinged off of her cheek gently, and a few more tiny pellets peppered her body. She froze yet again, covering herself like a bashful maiden with Chewbaca. What was that? Had Alf just exploded? HAD HE JUST EXPLODED?!

krepta-04/16/2017

Andy growled and thumped the door several more times. There was screaming, and he barely made out the words in his haze of rage. The hair along the tops of his arms and the back of his neck was thickening, starting to stand at attention. He shoved the door hard with his shoulder, and something on the other size toppled over with a horrible crash. He climbed over the remains of the dresser. His stun gun was in his hand now. Being only stunner, he never bothered to lock it in a safe. Cori made worse weapons out of household objects anyway.

"Get on the ground," he snarled, pointing it at Alf. There was maybe one too many teeth in that mouth, but he was holding onto his temper the best he could. "Hands above your head! Now!" Cori was still shrieking something, but he wasn't paying attention.

Grawlf-04/16/2017

Alf was sitting on the floor with his arms thrown into his lap and his legs halfway bent before him. His back was against the wall, figuaritively and literally. He didn't do anything. He was a deer in headlights. He was also short, possibly South American, and wearing a yellow and orange poncho that did nothing to dispell the South American theory. His collar was still around his neck, but it hung at an angle. FAR too large. It was this or try to hide from a police search in a room that could barely fit him into a corner. He came to enough to look side-long at Andy and sneer. The body went, but the attitude didn't. He hadn't become a big human because he was afraid of physical abuse.
"Fuck off."


Themascura-04/16/2017

Oh no, it was happening! Andy was going to maim and/or kill Alf, and it wasn't Alf's fault at all! Cori did the only thing she could think to do at that moment in time, and it was pretty much her default reaction to these kinds of situations. She threw her pillow at Andy. It roared pitifully as it soared through the air. Poor Chewbaca. He was probably going to get torn to shreds. Then, as a precautionary follow-up, she threw herself at Andy.

"Andy, No!" She was willing to get tased for Alf, because she knew, deep in her heart of hearts, that this was all her fault. She couldn't let Andy hurt him. Even if he had been a little aggressive a moment ago. "FUDGE!" She corrected at the top of her lungs, squeezing her eyes shut and preparing for the worst. Just before she reached Andy, which took just a handful of seconds, she realized he looked like he had a few too many teeth. Maybe a lot too many teeth.

krepta-04/16/2017

Andy's lips pressed themselves into a fine line. His finger tightened around the trigger. It was only set to low level stun, but plenty enough for someone this guy's size. It was hurt too. If he hurt Cori though, then--- Something hurled itself at him garbling. He reflexively shot it instead, and the thing made a crackling noise and stopped garbling. Cori's pillow, he realized belatedly. Cori followed it. He made a garbled noise himself and twisted the gun so it wasn't pointing close range at her gut, and reached out one arm to catch her. He was surprisingly strong.

"What. The. Hell, Cori!" He shoved her away, though not towards Alf and potential danger. The little punk was sitting on his ass in the middle of her floor wearing a dog collar. Just what the hell was Cori into anyway? He grunted and stared at her.
"You had better start explaining Cori, and fast."

Grawlf-04/16/2017

Chewbacca flew. CORI flew. Alf barely blinked because for the moment, he was in something akin to shock. A white cat shot out from under the bed and resituated itself in Alf's lap. Not because it wanted to help, but because it hadn't seen that lap in a while and wanted to get a minute alone with it before it became electric. Hood Wink was his best friend, but he was useless. Alf was thinking about Star Wars and finding it strange that the only smell pungent enough for him to pick up on was the remains of Chewbacca.
Rrrrrrr-ghghghghgh!

Themascura-04/16/2017

Cori bounced softly off of Andy, largely because he just sort of caught her and then casually tossed her aside- gently, at that. Still, she was klutz. She tripped over her own foot, stumbled, and then landed half on her side. But she HAD heard the stun gun go off, and heard Chewbaca's noble sacrafice. She knew it would take a second for the gun to recharge, which bought her some time. She looked frantically around the room. Where was Alf? Who was this guy? Had Alf really exploded? The other guy sounded a lot like Alf, and he was wearing Alf's collar, but not his other things and there was some strange cat there and Andy was demanding an explination and- She worked her fingers through the roots of her hair on one side.

"It's all my fault! I messed up! I was in the video game and I was having an argument with him, and then I just tried to come home but I accidentally brought him with me-" She burst, practically in one breath, as she scrambled across the floor on her hands and knees toward Alf. Tiny pills scattered beneath her as she went, hurrying over to the small man.
"I- Are you-.... Alf?" She paused when she was finally close enough, staring at him with shock and concern. She lifted one hand, put it down, then lifted it again and slowly reached for his face.


krepta-04/16/2017

Andy stared after her. This video game crap again. There were tiny pills all over the floor. Was that her medication? Had she stopped taking her meds? That would explain a lot. There was another growing fear in the back of his mind. What if she had kidnapped this guy, thinking he was some video game character or something? This was the exact kind of bullshit Cori would pull. He groaned and ran his free hand down his face. The man on the floor wasn't looking great, and there was a cat here, another one. God he hated cats. Mean, furry little bastards just pooped and ate and never did anyone any good. He pointed at Cori.

"Get away from him and sit your ass down on the bed. If I come back and you're not there--- I don't know what the hell I'll do, but you won't like it Coriander Rice." He stalked out of the room and returned a few moments later with a blanket, cautiously approaching Alf over the wreckage of Cori's room. "Easy pal," he said in what he hoped was an approximation of a soothing voice. "We'll get this figured out. Just... Sit tight, okay? Here."

Grawlf-04/16/2017

Alf didn't move. She could have touched his face and he wouldn't have said a word. Andy could put five blankets on him, and he might not have woken up. The cat looked obnoxiously serene. Then all at once, he came back.

"YES." What a STUPID question! She was the worst kind of sobering. "The HELL do you think I am!?" He hadn't seen himself in a mirror in a while, but he was pretty sure he looked like the bigger version of himself. Pretty sure. WHO IS NEAR ME. He tried to lift his arms and scramble to his feet but something between his brain and his legs had a miscommunication about the amount of spring needed to do that and he found the side of the bed instead.

Themascura-04/16/2017

Cori touched the side of his face softly with just her finger tips. He didn't move. He didn't so much as blink. She touched his face with her whole palm. It was fuzzy. He had a lot of stubble. She exhaled shortly. Oh no, this wasn't Alf! Alf would never let her- She turned to look at Andy as he demanded she go to sit on the bed. She stared at him for a defiant half-second, then slowly dropped her hand and got to her feet. She padded backwards, bare feet scattering pills in her wake, until her knees found the side of the bed. She dropped bonelessly onto it, staring blankly at the stranger across from her.

Andy came back with a blanket and wrapped it around the poor man. Cori pulled her knees to her chest and watched, working through the idea that she may have actually caused Alf to explode. He may have been dead. It could have been her fault. Andy was so good with people. If only she could be more like hi- Alf burst to life suddenly. She knew that voice! She knew that rage! She perked up just in time for him to collide with the side of the bed. She yelped and threw her hands up, shocked and startled. What the- Why was he throwing himself into things?!
"I don'- You look-" She gasped and peered down at him, "You look..."

krepta-04/16/2017

Andy stepped back, momentarily alarmed by the sudden motion and anger from the previously still man. But nobody talked to Cori like that but him. He stepped forward. Alf was already off balance. He reached for one shoulder, aiming to push him the rest of the way down, onto his chest. Andy's knee was ready to follow and plant itself between his shoulders to keep him from coming back up.

"Chill the fuck out," he growled. "I said we'd figure this out. That doesn't mean you get to talk to my room-mate like that. If you don't settle I really will shoot your ass. Now what the fuck is going on?"

Grawlf-04/16/2017

Hood Wink gave up his perch begrudgingly and snuck out of the room to see if the kitchen floor had anything meaty to chew on. Thankfully, he wasn't interested in desserts. A moment after Alf hit the bed he was on the floor and the room was kind of spinning. He knew he was being held down. He hated it, with every sour little fiber of his being. He kept talking.

"Human?" He hissed, because he didn't have the equipment to growl anymore. "Yeah."

(No worries, I'm over 18! XD ) I usually lurk, though... Plus I have a tendency to drop out after a while, which I hate doing, especially when the story's fun. I'm also afraid of my characters being too "OP" you know? I do try to keep that to a minimum, though. Ah, I'll be there anyway. Because what better way to improve, right? Also, I'm used to RP in a script form, but I think I can handle paragraphs. I just keep things basic and leave details to the other party. Never did a proper group rp, either. I have read some others, though, and they're all better than what I could do... Then again, I might be underestimating myself. I dunno!

Sorry for rambling on like that! I'll try to join in the group! But like I said, I have been lurking around a lot.

Sounds like you just haven't given yourself a chance yet! And hey no worries, there's no harm in lurking. I encourage people to do it until they get comfortable, or for as long as they need!

XD I've worried my OCs are too OP sometimes, but it's all about how you play it and being in it for fun and story instead of glory. There's nothing wrong with a strong characer if the people you're playing with are in to it.

And yeah, it's all about fun! I hate the glorified characters, they take fun from everything. And you're right! Also, I do need to make profiles for my characters, but I'm super lazy...

We have: Anita, Jim, Mary, Ana, Jessy, Dred, Alyssa, Gardenia, AJ, Felicia, Beast, Timothy, and Chris. I had more in the past, but one; some don't have context anymore, and two; it's been so long since I used them, and the origins of them have been lost, that I scarcely remember who they were. Heck, a couple of the characters I mentioned I have some difficulty remembering their details. But yeah, that will be my list. If you're still interested, I'll tell you more later; the sleep is calling for me, lol.
