The title basically speaks for itself. ^^ So yeah, anyone interested in doing a story with them? Cuz gosh, do I love them... they've been on my mind recently, for whatever reason. I think they'd be conducive to the written-out sort of roleplay, but we'd need a plot. Ideas?

Well...I see two options: 1.we could do some of their smaller run ins and work up to them meeting and joining up and work our way towards the huge plot of ness with the stone. 2. We could start with them meeting and joining together and then work our way up to the plot of ness with the stone. I vote for option one, and I am totally in!

So option one would be like, Giaccomo and Caprice doing their separate thing, and Kate and Frank doing their separate thing, and having run-ins of various sorts, and then meeting and working our way towards the huge plot of ness? ^^ That sounds like a plan. I like it very much. Who all would be included in this one? Abby's and Hanna's characters, or just the dynamic four?

I think it would be the most beneficial for the story line if we stick with the dynamic four for a little bit, if Abby and Hanna don't mind too much.

Yes, agreed. ^^ So are we going by what we roleplayed at Christine's house? Or are we doing something different? (Such as DQ. XD Haha...)

DQ? What is that? And I don't care we should just be them. Frank is very loud, he needs to get out.

Dairy Queen... I was trying to make a joke, and it was not so successful. XD You know... DQ, Something Different... yeah. But yeah. We could always just start something and see where it takes us. Caprice is pretty anxious, too.

Giacomo is saying that you all may as well do whatever you want with this, because invariably he'll be roped in without any say whatever happens XD

Alright Alright, I'll start it, if you really want me to...I'm gonna wrote screenplay, because that what I do, but if any of y'all want to write narrative whatevs, I don't think the format is all that important. I also think that it will probably make sense for the duos to be next to each other in the turn order...but again, no biggie.
EXT. CITY STREET NIGHT
KATE and FRANK are seen running away from us and rounding a corner sharply, we catch up with them as they come to a dead end, and turn around to see their pursuers at the other end of the alley...
KATE: I thought you knew this town like the back of your hand. FRANK: How well do you know the back of your hand? KATE: Better than you know this town. FRANK: I said I knew the town, not the alleys. KATE: Alleys are part of towns Frank. <<A gunshot is heard, the bullet hits the dusty ground at Frank's feet>> (Pan up to see the angry faces of the GAMBLERS that are following them) FRANK: I hardly think now is the time to discuss semantics. KATE: For once you may be right.
OOC: There you go, I started it.

EXT. CITY STREET NIGHT GIACOMO and CAPRICE come running around a corner; shouts are heard not far behind them. Caprice grins. CAPRICE: The thrill of the chase!! GIACOMO: <<looks much more panicked than Caprice>> Be thrilled later! We have to hide somewhere!!! CAPRICE: <<looks over her shoulder>> People get stirred up so easily here! <<looking up at Giacomo (she's very short)>> We should move on to the next town. Anyways, the rod isn't here. GIACOMO: Right. Yes. The rod. It must just be in the next town. CAPRICE: <<eyes front, panting a little>> It has to be! The compass was definitely pointing this direction, we just have to keep going down the line! GIACOMO: <<ignoring a painful stitch in his side>> Whatever you say, Caprice! CAPRICE: Hey - I'm just keeping us - <<trips a little, scrambles to catch up>> - on track!! GIACOMO: <<looks over his shoulder, immediately turns back forward and picks up speed>> Now is NOT the time to argue about this!!! CAPRICE: You started it!! <<grits teeth and tries to go faster>> You always start it!! GIACOMO: Like I said, NOT the time!!! <<hurdles over a pile of debris on the street corner>> CAPRICE: <<looking back and forth>> Where are all the connecting streets?! GIACOMO: I really don't know, Caprice, but right now I'm not really very concerned with the city's architecture! CAPRICE: Well it would sure be conducive to hiding! And stop yelling at me!! GIACOMO: I'll stop yelling when you stop putting us into situations of peril! CAPRICE: You really need to work on that vocabulary shift we talked about - it's called adventure! <<looks over her shoulder again, showing some concern>> And it's no fun if you get caught, and I'm running out of stamina here!! GIACOMO: I'm not exactly bursting with energy either! <<looking around, gets an idea>> Come on! He grabs her arm and pulls her across the street and over a short wall. Past the wall there is a yard and another, higher wall. He directs her to a stack of crates to climb to reach the top of the wall. GIACOMO: Climb up! <<follows her up, kicking the crates away as he does so, making it more difficult to follow>> CAPRICE: <<at the top, straightens and bends her knees a bit, then jumps down to the other side>> <<lands surprisingly well, stands and leans against a building>> There now... <<wipes her brow>> that wasn't so awful. GIACOMO: <<jumps down after her>> I think they're probably going to keep coming - we really should keep running! CAPRICE: ... Oh. <<is off like a little Italian rocket.>> (Sorry, a bit longer than yours, but we got carried away in the witty banter. XD Anyway, I thought it would be funny to create some parallel action. Sets them up as eventual partners. You know you are, guys. )

EXT. CITY STREET NIGHT CONT. FRANK: (scoffs) I'm always right KATE: Shut up and get us out of here. FRANK: Why am I getting us out of here? You're quite capable too. Geesh you make me do all the work. KATE: (shortly) You're the one who said this was the way out of town. FRANK: I said probably, I never guarenteed that it was. KATE: I thought you said you were always right. FRANK <<while they have been arguing Frank has been appraising the surroundings, there is a clothes line hanging a few feet in front them, the angry mob approaching fast>> FRANK: (Smiles slyly) I am.
FRANK grabs his gun and shoots an end of the closeline so that it falls to the ground clothes and all on top of their persuers they struggle tangled, he rushes forward taking an end of the clothesline
FRANK: (calling behind him) Little help? KATE: (slight amazement) On it.
KATE and FRANK each have an end of the clothesline they wrap it around the gamblers, tying them tightly together so they can't move.
FRANK: Don't you know gambling is a bad habbit? KATE: Stop taunting them and let's get out of here? FRANK: Yeah. yeah.
KATE and FRANK start running again.
KATE: I'm really surprised you thought of that all by yourself. FRANK: What are you implying. KATE: Nothing, nothing. FRANK: (sulky) Well it's this way out. KATE: Is this going to lead us to another dead end? FRANK: No!

EXT. OUTSIDE OF CITY WALLS NIGHT GIACOMO: (sits leaned against the wall, head slumped forward in exhaustion) Remind me never to let you talk to anyone. Ever. CAPRICE: (chest heaving; ignores this comment.) Alright - let me get out the compass... (begins to rummage around in a bag at her hip) GIACOMO: Do whatever you want, but there is no way we can make any progress tonight. I need sleep. CAPRICE: (finding it, holds it close to her face, follows the needle's path with her eyes and points) There - that's where we're headed. (smiles at Giacomo) At the break of dawn! GIACOMO: (dryly sarcastic) Sure, dawn, whatever you say. (unwillingly pulls himself to standing) Come on, we've gotta find someplace outside of town to sleep, since someone got us run out. CAPRICE: (frowns, standing) That walking stick could very easily have been the rod. GIACOMO: Caprice, it belonged to an old man. I think he was a priest or something. It would explain the dress. Robe. Whatever it was. CAPRICE: I saw a chance, and I took it! (starts to trudge away from the city, scanning the landscape for shelter of some kind) That's another problem of yours; you never take chances. GIACOMO: I don't steal from monks! (follows her) That's a problem of yours! CAPRICE: What if he'd been an evil monk? Hmm?? It's not so unlikely... and even if not, if an innocent monk or two is wronged in the process of getting the inestimable treasure, (adorably steely look) so be it. GIACOMO: ... an evil monk? What in God's name is an evil monk? CAPRICE: (looks over her shoulder, eyebrows raised) ... A monk that's evil? GIACOMO: (keeps walking, talking more to himself than her) Right. Of course. How silly of me to question it. CAPRICE: (smiles, keeps walking) You are pretty silly sometimes. GIACOMO: And you, Caprice, outdo anybody I've ever met in that capacity. CAPRICE: (stopping at a tree) ... Good enough? GIACOMO: Well, it's as adequate as every other tree in this forest so I'd say yes, good enough. CAPRICE: (lying down at its base) Well, normally I'd say that adequate is never good enough... but my legs hurt. (stretches, smiling nonetheless) GIACOMO: Good enough for me. (drops his bag, rummaging for something. He withdraws an old threadbare blanket, laying it on the ground and placing himself atop it) CAPRICE: (lays her hands beneath her head, staring up at the sky) It's out there, Giacomo. And it's close. GIACOMO: Sure it is, Caprice. We'll find it. (is already drifting) CAPRICE: (shuts eyes) I know we will... (a long pause) CAPRICE: (suddenly remembering) Oh - (sits up enough to turn and look at him) are you asleep yet? GIACOMO: (little sigh, eyes still shut. He doesn't move) No. CAPRICE: ... Goodnight. GIACOMO: Goodnight, Caprice. (subtle smile)

Kate and Frank continue running down several more streets and finally make their way out of town. They run a little ways farther, just to be on the safe side, and then slow to a walk...
KATE: Some nice work with that clothesline Frank, almost nice enough to redeem yourself for getting us lost. FRANK: We were not lost. KATE: I count dead ends as lost. FRANK: We weren't lost. KATE: Then what were we? Enlighten me. FRANK: We were simply misplaced. We knew where we were, it just wasn't where we wanted to be. KATE: I hold that we did not know where we were. FRANK: I knew where we were. KATE: And where was that? FRANK: We were in a dark alley which ended shortly off of High street. KATE: Thank you for that wonderful vision, its all clear to me now. FRANK: Shhh...<<points to a duo sleeping at the foot of a tree>>
They stop for a moment and examine the duo (OOC: I think you know who they are!)
FRANK: Do we know them? KATE: I don't think so. FRANK: They seem to be carrying a lot, KATE: I think we should ease their burden.
They set to it, taking several things from them, money and the like. Kate considers Caprice for a moment,
KATE: Frank, what do you think shes holding?
Frank steps away from Gicamo and considers her a moment. Caprice is clutching the compass and stone tightly, the compass out of sight.
FRANK: Looks like a rock. KATE: (disappointed) Thats what I thought. FRANK: Lets go, I think this ones a light sleeper. KATE: Alright <<Looks at Caprice again>> Yeah, lets go.
Kate pulls the Rod from its home on her belt and holds it out. Frank takes it in his hand as well. Kate says a couple of words and pushes a button on the top. A blue flash of light and a soft hissing sound and they vanish into the night...
(There you go, sorry if the lost vs. misplaced dialogue drags a bit...but I like it a lot.)
