The Anything RPG

Houses

Emma

I love the pool. My spirits perk up again and before long I do some magic of my own. I wave my multicoloured wand round and suddenly everyone is wearing a rainbow coloured bracelet.
"What are these?" Asks Violet curiously.
"Well Echo is such a big place we could easily get separated. If you double tap these bracelets-" I demonstrate, and it immediately sends up a bright rainbow flare. "This way we can always find each other," I finish.
"Why does everything have to be bloody rainbow with her?" Vertia hisses to Midnight. I try to pretend this doesn't bother me, but it does. It's always been a bit of a sore point with me that I can only do spells that involve rainbows somehow. It's a perk of being born into the Rainbow family.

Vertia is still whispering to Midnight with a smirk in her face. I just about manage to ignore her until she finally sets Midnight off laughing, and soon everyone's laughing at me.

My temper goes and suddenly everyone is wearing rainbow clothes and their skin is rainbow coloured.
"Try being rainbow for a change!" I shout before running off with tears spilling down my face. The spell will wear off in a few minutes, I'm not that mean, but I would like them to get a taste of how horrible my life is, with all the taunting and teasing and leaving me out of EVERYTHING. it's just not fair

Violet

I LOVE RAINBOWS! I twirl around in my rainbow-dress.

Vertia

"I'm sorry!" I yell, not sorry at all." Don't you have any HUMOUR?" I stomp off.

"I DO! JUST NOT WHEN HORRIBLE PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE BULLYING ME!" She yells back.

I narrow my eyes. "I'm very tempted to lose my temper, but I wont. If this was back home, I'd storm off back home, but we're here in stupid Echo, so we might well try to just get on, ok?"

Elle

I cry out.

"Emma!"

' what' I hear her exasperated answer.

"I love your style, I wish I was rainbow" I say kindly.

She just blocks me out with her magic and I begin to feel exasperated too. No one listens to my kind gestures. Ever.

I try to double tap the bracelet and a ravishing rainbow flare springs out and engulfs me in its innocentness.

Emma just keeps on running into the whiteness. My body turns normal again, and I smile. Its beautiful being rainbow, but its great being Elle too.

I giggle at TAC. I conjure a soft white towel and hand it to him.

" here. You might want to get dry. You look freezing " I say honestly.
Tac smiles.
"Thanks, Elle. you werent the snowball-chucker I though you were after all! "
I giggle again, and glide off. Violet is laughing and chatting with Vertia, and I join in.
"Hey, Vi, congrats!" I smile.
"Yeah, thanks Elle. You know your actually like a best friend to me now in echo"
I raise my eyebrows and smile. This is what we're supposd to do: create a kingdom?
I carefully conjure a white cottage, but it takes many efforts. It has honeysuckle and violets woven around the thatched roof.
I smile.
"Somewhere to live."

Violet

"It's... it's... wonderful!" I gush, delighted. Then, consentrating hard, I create an adjoining cottage with little rainbows on various parts of it. "Let's hope Emma likes it!" Then I make a little garden and a veggie patch. I grin. This is awesome.

Elle

I smile and laugh.
Everyone?
I conjure Vertia's , and tac's one, somehow I cannot change the colour from grey.
I conjure Midnight's too! This is amazing!

Midnight

I'm now back in mostly high spirits, and my little house is amazing. It is high tech and modern, with navy blue window panes, doors and roof. I love it!
'thanks! ' I shout, and rush inside.
Nothing. The house is just a spell.... A shell.....
I come over to ask the happy faces. I tell Violet I need to talk to her in private, and we split away from the group. "the houses are completely empty." They're all just shells. You should tell them "I add.
" why me? "she asks, I can tell she's bewildered and scared from the reaction she'll get when she tells the news.
" because your the leader, and that's what leaders do "
" OK, fine "she gives in. We walk over to the group.
Violet finally announces that the houses are empty.
The group are in a stunned silence.

Elle

I laugh, weakly.

"shouldn't we just conjure objects inside? I mean, it's not that hard..."

They murmur and we each follow each other into Violet's house, since she's leader we should experiment on hers. If something happens, of course all bad credit goes to us.

We mutter spells under our breath.

Violet's house is now complete. Like a decorative haven.

We finish off the other houses, then admire our work. But we feel so tired and painful. we have to sleep.

We bid each other goodnight and step into our houses...

Emma

I walk back over and say sorry for getting upset.

"I'm just angry about being in echo and I shouldn't have taken it out on you- is this house for me?"

I run inside the house eagerly while the others call warnings after me. Inside the house is nothing- just a big vast white space. But I can fix that. With a wave of my wand I furnish the house with carpets, walls, curtains, giant armchairs, a large bathroom and a double bed. The others follow me in.
"Wow," says Elle, bouncing on an armchair. "How did you do this?"
Midnight tests out the bed. "It's real..." She says

Violet

I go inside my cottage. It's so nice now I've filled it. The living room is pink, the bedroom is purple (well, what do you expect? I'm VIOLET Black, after all), the bathroom is white and the kitchen is wood.

Real wood. Like at home in the kitchen. A flash of memory.

"Hello, darling! How was Hoggywarts?" asks mum.

"Hogwarts. Great! I'm so happy that it's the hols though. I learnt how to make a teapot change into a mouse and vice versa yesterday..."

And it's gone. I wave my wand at my new orange teapot, mumble something and voila! It's a mouse. Wave it again- teapot.

"Woah!" says a voice, and I turn around to see TAC. I can't help noticing that he has turned a slightly lighter shade of grey. Weird. Oh well...

"How's the rainbow house getting along?" I ask.

"Fine..." says TAC, still staring at the teapot/mouse. I realise his hair has turned slightly brownish-grey.

Elle

I giggle. Emma's room is clearly amazing!
She twirls, and I smile. Emma is so pretty! I watch her rainbow curls flare out next to her and I giggle again.
' i wish i looked like you emma. your amazing'
She smiles.
'im tired. I'll get to bed. Go into your house! Night night Elle! '
I creep into my house, not tired at all. I disappear under the plush white duvet and smile, my own little world. Slowly, i drift off to sleep...
