Fantasy Fairytales are real

Elias

Doesn't look like anything to me.
Fairytales are real. Legends are real. All the stories that you heard since you were a kid exist. Living in a far-far away land, all the story book characters live their life, unaware of our little world, universes away from their land.


But now, our ''little'' world has become their home. Ripped away from their land through a powerful curse, all the storybook characters we've ever known we're transported here, in a place called Fabletown, a place where they are all toghether.



A place where their happy endings will be no more. A place without magic....



You are one of those fables,legends,fairytales. You choose how to live your life now, and what do you do with it. By the standards of the humans, you are just a story. You decide what you'll do.

1.I'm looking for serious people who can roleplay good, and who are able to write more than just 2 pharagraphs per post.

Whoosh! The fiery sound of an arrow flying towards its target could be heard, as Robin targeted his enemy. The arrow went flying as it dug itself into the man's foot flesh. Robin smirked. Sometimes his job was too easy, bad guys we're just burglars or thiefs, who didn't have the actual guts to fight. But, as a sherrif, it was his duty to keep Fabletown safe. It was his job after all.


Throwing the man on the back seat of his police car, Robin started to drive towards the station. Sighing, he pulled a picture from his pocket and looked at it deeply. ''Marian'' he said as he stoped the car in front of the station and shoved the man in a cell . ''This is for you''


Richard laughed as he gulped down another cask of beer. It was late in the night at Devil's Horn, yet he had costumers. Unlike Alice's place, his bar was a kind of place, where the darker fairy-tales and myths would fool around in these late nights. Among the common costumers of his bar, you could always see Grendel ((from Beowulf)) gulping down casks of ale, trolls playing chess at the tables and The Big Bad Wolf, always sitting in the last darkest seat of the bar, ordering his ordinary pig-blood-drink. It was where the less-human looking fables would gather to share tales and stories of jest. Tonight, was special. It was Tuesday, and it was drinking-contest night. Jersey took a good look at his opponent: the Mothman ((google him)) a big, fierce, moth-like beast who looked like it could bring down his entire shop if angry. ''Let's start'' Jersey said as he started gulping down his beer, trying to defeat the opponent.
 
Alice was at her bar across the other side of town. Customers often commented her on her unique style of decorating, but it was just the way she liked it. In all honesty it looked like shed been high when she'd decorated it but it reminded her of home. Wonderland. She wasn't working tonight, but she still spent her evening in there anyway. Sipping an upside down virgin-cocktail, she looked around at all she had achieved. It was busy, especially for a Tuesday night, and she was happy that she'd made a new life here but she longed for Wonderland.
 
Changing his ever-present green hoodie to some casual clothes, Robin left the station and headed for Alice's bar. It was his favourite place, where he would cool off everytime he finished fighting crime. He wasn't a drinker, so he went there for the less-alcholohic drinks of Alice. Plus, he liked talking to the people there. Unlike, Devil's Horn, Alice's bar was a bit more unique,and it sure fell a lot more welcoming for the ''good'' fairytales character. He never liked Devil's Horn anyway, too many myths and dark fairy tale characters roamed there.


Entering the bar he sat down and asked for a drink then waited...
 
Scarlet pulled her red leather jacket closer over her black v-neck as she turned from locking up the pet shelter. The cool night breeze blew through her dark hair as she cast a glance towards the old '72 Camaro that sat in one of the few parking spaces just off the sidewalk. There was a moment's hesitation before she decided she'd walk. It was a nice night after all, full moon and everything. Her red Toms made small padding sounds against the sidewalk with each step she took closer to the The Rabbit Hole.


She'd reached the bar in a matter of a few minutes and slipped inside with the hint of a smile resting on her lips. Although she frequented the end stool of both bars, this one was far more hospitable than The Devil's Horn. When she entered there on a whim no one usually asked questions. As long as she took her usual seat and kept her head down, half the customers didn't even realize she was there. But as for tonight, she didn't feel like forcing herself through the rowdy atmosphere. Not to mention, it was a bit of a longer walk to that side of town.


Sliding onto the end stool, Scarlet ordered her usual bourbon and let her blue eyes scan the room.
 
Getting his drink, Robin gazed around the room, trying to see who was here tonight. The bar was pretty full, even at such a late hour, and everyone was seemingly having a good time. There were the usual customers: Snow White, Prince Charming, Jack Frost, even the little midget Rumplestilskin, and a lot others. Grinning, he took another sip out of his drink, noticing Scarlet sitting at the far end of the stool. Red Riding Hood he thought as he smirked. Up in her usual seat. Sitting up from the table, Robin paced towards the middle of the bar, and took a seat at a table not far from Scarlet. Brooding, he placed his coffee on the table and pulled out his picture...


''Five more, five more, five more!''. The whole bar was chanting as Jersey gulped down cask after cask after cask. He wasn't winning, yet he wasn't losing either. The mothman also finished his drink, coming at 5 drinks also. Grogilly grinning, Jersey watched the moth-creature as it grabbed 3 other casks, gulping them down, at it's hideous-insect-jaw. Rushing, Richard did the same, willing to win this wretched game...
 
Mary walked along the sidewalk, her brown hair falling lightly along her back. Pushing the strands from her face, her scarred face reflected from the variety of street lights. Pushing through the stark doors of The Rabbit Hole. The noise and stench was a little unraveling, but she kept a straight face. Spotting many faces she knew well. Some not for the best reasons. Hearing the shouts of the many attendees, she spotted Jersey, just another idiot drunk she thought to herself.


Mary wore casual clothes, coming from work only an hour ago. A business skirt and casual jacket, along her white button up shirt. Sitting along one of the farther tables, staying a fair distance from the crowd, she sat, her light brown bob settling. Her eyes dotted about the bar, not sure if she would get a drink. She didn't live far from the bar, but walking home wasn't best done intoxicated, even in these parts of town.
 
Huffing, Jersey gulped down another drink, and reached for the last only to see the Mothman already done, all his casks empty on the floor. ''Looks like you lost Devil'' the Mothman said in a gruff-low-pitched voice ''Pay up''. Sighing, Jersey reached in his pocket for money, yet it seemed he did not have any at him. ''I don't have them'' he said as he raised quietly from the table. ''I'll pay you another time''. ''You better pay me right now, or you'll regret it'' Mothman said as he stood in front of Jersey.


Annoyed by the insect, Jersey tried to pass from another angle, yet he bumped again in the creature's black chest. ''Fine you asked for it'' he said as he threw a quick punch in the Moth's face. Screaming, the creature returned a punch as well, sending Jersey through 3 tables, knocking down several bottles as he flew by. Slowly the Mothman walked to him and reached to hit him again. ''Leave me alone!'' Jersey said as anger flowed through him. The Mothman laughed and threw another kick at his ribs, not noticing Jersey's already brown eyes, growing bigger. ''I said LEAVE ME ALONE!'' Richard said as he transformed into his true form.. The Mothman was only an insect, standing besides him now. Chanelling his anger into one strike, Jersey kicked him out through the front door, sending him in the middle of the street.
 
Alice ran a hand through her hair and looked up to see Robin. She winked at him and went behind the bar, pouring herself another drink before sitting down in front of him. "You know," she said smiling. "Things would go a lot faster if you talked to her."
 
Jefferson shuffled into the Rabbit Hole, stuffing his keys into his pocket. He'd been locked out of his apartment again because he had forgotten to pay his landlord. Not that Jefferson minded being locked out, there were always other places to sleep. Looking around he chose a spot at the bar and reached over to pour himself a drink. He knew Alice wouldn't mind, and if she did there was nothing she could do about it. He took a sip of the crazy concoction he had just brewed up and glanced around, searching for his friends.
 
"Hey Jefferson," she called out, not turning to look at him. "By all means, help yourself," she giggled before turning to face him. She moved over to him and looked at the drink curiously. "What drink is it this time, cause you know your drinks are my best sellers."
 
"Thanks Alice," he mumbled before taking a swig and grinned. "It's a new one." He pulled a small bottle out of his jacket and handed it to her. "That's fairy dust, for you. Bought it off some guy who came into my store. Mix it with a little whiskey and ice and, ta-da!" He downed the glass. "Beautiful."
 
"How's life going, Jefferson?" she asked, leaning against the table as she sipped her cocktail.
 
Robin smirked at Alicia's remark then took a final sip of his coffee before putting it down on the table. Jefferson recently arrived, and Alice was already serving him, so he got up and passed their tables. ''Jefferson, don't get too drunk, or else I'll have to arrest you'' he said laughing as he exited the door, in the cool air outside. He needed some fresh air, so he sat on the bench that laid in front of the bar. Suddenly he got up as a large noise could be heard. He went around the corner, just in time to see Mothman fly through the glass plated window of Devil's Horn. Jersey was there, in his fearsome true form roaring as he threw the creature in the nearby bulidings. Sighing he grabbed his bow ''Not again'' he mumbled...
 
He shrugged. "Nothing really happens in the hat business." He poured himself another glass. "Other than that, I'd say pretty good." Robin walked by and Jefferson smirked at him. "No promises," he said with a high-pitched laugh, then turned to Alice. "What about you, dear? How've you been?"
 
Alice laughed. "Better with you here, Hatter. You remind me of home. You're drinks are on me tonight," she said smiling at him kindly.
 
He smiled. "Thanks, Alice. If it weren't for you here, I might've gone insane." He winked and laid his head down on the counter. "Alice," he whispered. "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"
 
Pounding the Mothman through the streets of Fabletown, Jersey could feel his anger flowing through his veins. He knew this was making him turn, yet he couldn't stop pounding the moth-like humanoid who threatened him earlier today. If real life people could see him now. Monster, they would call him and they would be right. Roaring, he charged again at Moth, only to feel a stinging sensation in his arm. Looking down, he saw an arrow, and Robin shooting another one. The second one hit him in the chest, releasing a sleep-paralysis venom in him, which came from the arrow. Roaring, his vision went dizzy as he collapsed to the ground.


Robin closed in on him and watched him turn back into a human. Glaring around to question the Mothman, he noticed that the beast flew off, leaving him alone with Richard in the street. Sighing, he stood next to him and spoke ''Richard, in what trouble did you get yourself this time....''
 
Alice giggled. "I have no idea Hatter," she said smiling at him kindly as she moved around the bar. "Is it because Poe wrote on btoh?" She giggled, grinning at her friend.
 
Finishing off the remainder of her drink, Scarlet slid a few bills across the bar and stood up. Though she would typically stay longer, she'd have to be up bright and early the next morning, checking on the small litter of puppies that had been dropped off in a box outside the shelter a few days prior. Sliding her hands deep into the pockets of her jacket, Scarlet slipped out the door and onto the sidewalk, taking a moment to tilt her head back towards the moon. A smile crept over her features and she took a deep breath of night air.


Her peaceful moment was interrupted, however, by a series of shouts and crashes off to her right. Raising an eyebrow, she let curiosity take over and turned the corner only to meet the sight of Robin standing with Jersey and a small trail of destruction in the legend's wake. "Figures..." She mumbled under her breath.
 
He began to chuckle, then he broke into a full-on laughter fit, lifting his head from the counter and threw it back as he roared in laughter. "That's a good one!" he cried, slamming his fist on the table. "Because of Poe!"
 
Robin sighed as he entered the bar. Altough he was a strong man, Jersey was kinda hard to carry, even in this form, his human form. Glancing around Devil's Horn, his eyes fell on Grendel ((from Beowulf, google him)) , the white beast who was in good terms with the Devil. ''Hey Grendel'' he whistled. ''Come pick him up for me?''.


Gren sighed as he pulled himself from the table and headed for the body.''To the station'' Robin mumbled as he motioned the white-hulk to follow him. ''
Ok'' Grendel hissed as he followed Robin around the corner. Robin nodded a ''hello'' to Scarlet as he went on his way to the sherrif station.
 
She gave a slight nod in return, glancing over her shoulder as the three passed her before turning her gaze forward once more and continuing on her way. Humming softly to herself, Scarlet took her time wandering her way back to where she'd left her car. The tune was one she remembered from before, far before. Back when they'd all lived in their stories as they were meant to and her grandmother would sing her to sleep as a little girl.
 
"I live to amuse you Hatter," she giggled, grinning at him happily as she poured him a new drink. An apple and pineapple upside down cocktail, with ice cubes and a large quantity of rum. She made herself one quickly before sliding it across the bar towards him.
 
He took a swig, smacking his lips. "Not bad," he said with a grin. "Hey, where's Robin? And Scarlet? And where in devil's name did Marchie run off to?"
