Woo-hoo!!! We get to start!!! YAY!!! Alright well, as always, we get to start with rules!!! lol I am now entering mean mode lol jk. (1 No cussing UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. (2 Do not post what other people are going to say. Example: *"Rose, do you like Fred?" She replied, "Of course, Samantha!"* Only post for WHO YOU ARE! Not even actions!(3 Don't skip around with events. Example: *Post 1: Julie looked out her window gloomily. Post 2: Meanwhile, George thought that he should go home for Christmas. Post 3: Julie decided she should go talk to her mother.* DON'T DO THAT! It's too confusing and it doesn't even sound good! Also, if two people are having a conversation, and then you talk about your character's mother then we go back to the conversation, your post will be deleted. (4 No abbreviations please. If you want to write a word that has an abbreviation like... January. Write January. Not Jan. (5 Try not to write choppy sentences. Example: *Fred walked in. Looked around. Saw Samantha. Walked over to her.* What you should do is: Fred walked into the party and looked around. He saw Samantha and decided to walk over to her.* (6 Write only in 3rd person. If you are Samantha, do not do this: I saw Fred and walked over to him. Then we had a nice long chat about politics. Use this: Samantha walked in and saw Fred. She walked over to him and had a nice long chat about politics. (7 Put all actions in itlaics. Example: * Fred kicked Samantha in the shin* (8 All thoughts and flashbacks in bold italics. You do that by pressing B and in-between the tags where it says "TEXT" press the I button. Example: *I wish I could have seen him... one last time( )[/i] (9 All speaking is to have quotation marks. Example: *"blah blah blah."* (10 If there is a letter that someone wants to show or anything on paper, type: {quote} blah {/quote} and then replace the { }s with [ ]s. Example: (11 If YOU (not your character wants to say anything, put OOC before it, then when you get back in character put BIC. Example: *OOC: I love what I'm going to say! BIC: "GOOD-BYE FRED!* Okay that's all for now! Let's make this a GREAT RPG and happy posting!!! PLEASE OBEY ALL RULES, BUT ESPECIALLY RULE # 2 & 3.

It was a beautiful day in Port Royal, and young Sarah Turner looked outside her bedroom window. She looked at her room, painted gold and pink. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was her mother, Elizabeth Turner. She quickly grabbed a robe and answered the door.

Will Turner was working late at the blacksmiths. He banged his anvil hammer on the sword he was working on for Commodore Norrigtion.

OOC: Lady Elenanna- please do not skip around with events. (rule #3) I won't make you delete it this time, but please don't do it again. Thanks! (Sorry if I sounded like a brat!! I don't mean to! Honest!)
BIC: As Sarah let Elizabeth in, she looked at her gown. It was long and flowing. "Mother, is there a reason you are dressed up so formally? ... Where is Father?"

(OOC: *Is v. confused* Sorry ... I'm afraid I don't undersdtand - how was Lady Elenanna of Lothlorien skipping events? First she set the scene, then explained what he was doing in that scene. It's not as though she said, "Will was at the blacksmiths and then decided to go to the port. At the port, he..." Sorry if I sound way out of line but I'm worried I'll get my post wrong if I don't understand the rules! I'm also slightly confused about rule 7. Would that mean all of your text except for speech would be in italics? Please let me know - I really don't understand and can't begin posting until I do! ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) )

Elizabeth walks in and sees Sarah in her robe, then walks up to Sarah "There is no reason for this outfit and Father is somewhere in his shop."

OOC- Calwen: What I meant in rule 3 was that if something is going on in one place, it doesn't sound very good when that thing is going on, then you talk about your character, and then it goes back to the thing it was talking about before. Does that make sense? Yes, basically all your text except speech in italics. Does that help?
BIC- "Mother, I was just resting. May I get dressed, and then go visit Father?" Sarah asked. Elizabeth knew the fact that Sarah enjoyed visiting the shop and making swords, and hated it. But of course it was her Father... but Sarah knew it was a 50/50 chance because the final descion was up to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth thinks for about a minute and then gives her daughter an answer. "You may go see your father, just be back in time for tea time."

((OOC - I think I get it now - but I'm still not 100% certain, so don't get mad if I get it wrong! ;D)
BIC - Catherine Main - Kathy to all her friends - was a dark-skinned girl with straggly black hair who was nearly always covered in some sort of grime. If someone gave her a good scrubbing and some proper clothes, she might have been what you'd describe as pretty. Her hair was pulled back into thousands of tiny braids and she wore a pair of red shorts and a matching shirt with combat boots on her feet. A red bandana covered the top of her head.
Smiling her wicked smile, Kathy ran from the docks - where she spent most of her time - to her best friend Sarah's house. Sarah was, and had been as long as she could remember, her best friend.
Peering up at the large house, her deep brown eyes watched carefully as Sarah's mother Elizabeth and Sarah herself conversed on the doorstep. Kathy watched carefully as Sarah went back to her room then ran round the back of the house. Picking up a good, sturdy-looking rock, she tested it with her hands before hurling it full-force at the window of Sarah's room.
"Oi!" she hissed, as the stone bounced off the reinforced glass. "Sarah!"

OOC- TO ALL MEMBERS OF THIS RPG: Rule #2 is bogus!!! Please don't pay any attention to it! (But just don't go overboard!) Calwen- you got it PERFECT!
Just as her mother was leaving, Sarah heard a rock on her bedroom window. She opened it and saw her best friend, Kathy. Sarah smiled gleefully at Kathy, and Kathy waved. "I'll be down in two minutes!" Kathy nodded as Sarah closed her window and quickly changed her clothes. She raced out of her bedroom and looked at the long spiral staircase. It will take too long to do it Mother's way... but if Mother catches me doing this... She quickly brushed away the thoughts, situated her rear end on the handrail, and flew down. Luckily, no one saw her. She opened the door and then ran to Kathy. It had been so long since she had seen her! Nearly a week! "Kathy! It is so good to see you!" Sarah said as she hugged her. "Come on, let's go to the docks, and then to Father's workshop!" As they skipped with linked arms down to the docks, Sarah realized how lucky she was to have Kathy. Even if all of Port Royal thought it was disrespectful for the young, white granddaughter of the Governor to be friends with a "colored" girl, Sarah didn't care. When they reached the docks, Sarah looked out onto the ocean. She could just make out a very fast ship. She looked even more closely. It had black sails! The Black Pearl! As it came closer, Sarah and Kathy could make out one figure. Jack Sparrow. "JACK!!!" Sarah screamed at the top of her lungs. "Sarah!" Jack yelled back. When they reached the dock, Jack jumped off the ship and hugged Sarah. "It is so good to see you!! Oh, where are my manners? Jack, have you met Catherine Main? She is my best friend."

Margo awoke to the sound of an incoming ship's bell ringing. She got out of bed and into the kitchen, where a sack of flour rested near the table. She had asked Sam last night to get it for her this morning, and she smiled in pride. Sam was such a hard worker and a good son. It was his birthday today, and the flour was for the cake she was going to make for him. But, she had not told him that.
Just then, she heard the front door shut.
Sam! Margo shouted.

Jack gave a dramatic bow, whirling his hat about with a flourish, "Hello, my lady, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." He quirked an eyebrow teasingly at Sarah, "Though some of these interesting people hereabouts insist on calling me Jack."

Will was walking to his house when he saw his daughter and two others. He suddenly recognized the other and ran to them. "Jack! What are you doing here in Port Royal?"

Kathy giggled, and responded with a mock curtsey. "Much oblidged, Captain!" She grinned wickedly, instantly liking this man. Sarah had told her many times about the brilliant Jack Sparrow and to actually meet him really was quite an exciting experience. She suddenly became aware of a shadow behind her and turned to see Sarah's father Will behind her also welcoming Jack. Kathy quickly bobbed her head politley. "Good morning, Mr Turner!"
