MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE (forum camping/low fantasy)

inspiration the white lotus, hsmtmts, the odyssee, gossip girl.

CONTEXTE.

“lundi, c’est aquabike,

mardi, c’est randonnée dans les bois,

mercredi, c’est bronzette sur la plage,

jeudi, c’est cours de poterie avec les amis,

vendredi, c’est initiation au tai-chi

samedi, c’est soirée au camping,

dimanche, c’est pic-nic avec les voisins

et après ?

et après c’est la même chose,

lundi, c’est tournoi de volley-ball,

mardi, c’est veillée autour d’un feu de camp à faire griller les chamallows

mais on repart quand ?

pourquoi tu veux repartir ? on est pas bien là,

on est bien là, oui”

tel un cirque itinéraire, le campus du lotus blanc s’était installé ici-là pour une durée de quelques mois. Il attirait les foules, offrant un complexe et des infrastructures sans pareilles et les gens restaient, sans trop savoir pourquoi, goûtant les mets les plus somptueux à base de lotus. et puis lorsqu’il y en avait plus, c’était la fin des vacances, tous pliaient bagages et reprenaient leur vie jusqu’à ce que le lotus blanc apparaisse à un autre endroit du globe.

Le camping, c’est le théâtre de la découverte de soi, de la découverte des autres, des rencontres amicales ou amoureuses, des drames soudains, du divertissement sans borne, des limites franchies allant jusqu’aux plus noires envies.

vous aussi, rejoignez le lotus blanc parce qu’on sait pas jusqu’’à quand ça durera, ni où ça nous mènera.

PRESENTATION DU FORUM.

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE (MIAB) est un forum de type camping se voulant être éphémère, c’est-à-dire qui dure entre 4/5 mois et après ? si ça marche, l’endroit, le décor, tout change, vous pourrez conserver vos personnages ou en changer car le lotus blanc se veut être itinérant.

c’est aussi un forum qui se veut être chill, pas de mots ou de lignes exigées, on répond quand on veut, à son rythme. Les rps courts sont plutôt privilégiés, en plus des différents moyens de communication qui seront mis en place. Des animations inrp seront là pour satisfaire à la fois celleux qui n’ont pas trop le temps de se consacrer au forum ainsi que celleux qui veulent s’investir à fond. le but (même si c’est toujours une douce utopie) c’est que chacun.e y trouve son compte.

A CE STADE

Je lance l’idée, je suis seul à bord avec mon petit imaginaire et mes petites mains pour écrire, évidemment, je cherche un à deux compères qui seraient partant.e.s pour se lancer dans l’aventure (à savoir que je vise personnellement une ouverture fin avril). Je cherche aussi quelqu’un qui serait prêt à coder/grapher, sans forcément être dans le staff s’iel ne veut pas. évidemment avoir déjà administrer est un plus et se montrer communicatif aide aussi.

bref si ça vous intéresse, go go go et mpottez moi.

Having an adoptive son like Alfred and him finding out that she's an awesome swordswoman, he would probably gift her a toy- maybe even real lightsaber for Christmas or for her b day.

And since swords became old fashioned, she's probably ecstatic about it and start doing tricks with it.

england x reader || married au || bonus, water park fights

this made me think about that skin in league of legends with a really good dualist. I will mention it later.

🤍 It started at the water park, you were with Alfred, Arthur and Matthew. 

You hid your face from the sun, your hand over your skin and roots of your hair still damp from the pool.

Walking with Alfred towards the main entrance, you two went to walk around in need of the warmth.

Being in water for hours, swimming around  and often sleeping on the fake plastic grass where you found a spot in the shade this morning occasionally made you cold.

The warm water from the special pool wasn’t warm enough anymore and neither Arthur’s body and his embrace could warm you up.

Even with a beautiful blue sky and a mid day sun, the wind occasionally gave you chills, only your towel as coverage.

So now you’re walking around with the American around the water park. You carefully walk bare foot over the designed path so the travertine tiles being exposed all day to the sun would bring heat to your feet and bodies.

As your feet take every step it burned, but rapidly the heat became comfortable.

The same heat earlier absolutely burning your skin now feels incredible against it.

You notice the main pool facing the entrance, few life guards standing around the fake rocks and high chairs surrounding the different areas, all connected to the same pool. However only random lines separated the areas, many people just walking over them to jump in another pool.

The lifeguards, mostly students on their summer jobs have been the same ones over a week now. They were really nice to you  and Arthur. They occasionally talk to families or say hello to the kids asking them random questions. 

“Is there an event today ?” 

You stopped, making the blue eyed American next to you also stop, few steps after. 

Alfred looks up at the main pool and takes a step closer to the fake orange-pink rocks. Many people were sitting down in the pool, with aqua bikes below them.

“Aqua bike event— I think”

Alfred’s head turns to you.

“I didn’t know, I thought it was only around 11 in the morning.” You said.

“Maybe they changed, happens” Alfred added.

You two put your forearms over the rocks, the heat radiating from their fake materials making the most uncomfortable place in the park suddenly the best spot to lay on. 

You two leaned, watching curiously the group, it just looked interesting to watch people do aquabiking, specifically when you were facing-laid against this warm rock.

“Your birthday is tomorrow Alfred— do you want me to sign you up to the aqua bike morning session ?” You joked, still looking over the kids, older people and many randoms trying to follow the instruction of their “coach”.

The woman keeps screaming, instructions from her bike, out of the water and blasting electro, dubstep songs for people to get into the activity.

You were amazed by how the instructor skin was glowing under the sun, her job being, biking under no shade, almost in a full gym outfit, only sunglasses covering her eyes, screaming over the blasting electronic music and doing the same amount of exercise as the people in water, but outside from the pool. However, when the music became a bit less louder from a minute ago, your heard clicking sounds.

The clicking sounds could be anything. You didn’t turn around at first, thinking that it could just be someone fighting with their beach umbrella and the wind, or trying to hold their whole’s family umbrella and bags in one trip. Casual family water park problems you experienced in your life already, specifically with all the colonies, and still with Alfred and Matthews sometimes. 

The clacking sound sounding like plastic kept going, you didn’t notice Alfred leaving your side silently as you were fully staring at the people biking in water to the music beat.

It’s only when you noticed his silhouette missing from your side that you turned around, looking for his familiar figure. 

Quickly you did notice him, arms crossed over his chest looking at kids, fighting with plastic light sabers, known from their design in the movie Stars wars. 

Kids aged around 6 to 12 were in pairs, fighting for fun. 

You approached the American, three steps away from you, now concentrated by the kids activity.

Yoh kept your towel tightly around your body, noticing the families around the kids laid on their towels sleeping, tanning or just sitting there watching over nothing. 

Alfred sees the woman giving the light sabers to kids coming up to her, she walks over to the him and you.

“What’s happening there ?" Alfred asks, pointing to the light sabers and kids,

“We just got these for people who wanna play around, we can teach you quickly how to fight with those, obviously it’s all for fun,” the woman says, looking behind her to the pairs fighting around, nothing serious.

“Do we have to pay or something?” The American asked,

“ Absolutely not, it’s all fun and games, just don’t run and hit the people laying around—“ she laughed, earning from you and Alfred childish smiles.

“Can we try?” You blurted out, the woman nodding, handing you light sabers.

“Don’t hit your eyes or the head of course— you should be fine!” She warns, but her vibe becoming more friendly as she looks at a dad playing with his daughter behind.

“Thank you,” you and Alfred thanked the woman before walking in an empty spot, near all the pairs but not too far away from the people laying around. 

“It’s just like fighting with our pool fries—“

Alfred teased, starting to make moves with the green lightsaber in his hands.

“I did beat you with those, lightsabers are no different—“ you commented,

“You have more experience and did fought with real swords— it’s not fair—“ Alfred fake cried, still hitting your lightsaber lightly. 

You two were barely fighting, keeping it playful, to not go overboard and hurt a someone.

Alfred was smiling, really happy to be able to share this moment with the woman he saw as his mother figure. 

He was happier then, he was a child, but he is happy and grateful now. 

This smile over his face gives him a glimpse of memories he has with you. When you would fight for fun with Arthur in the living room or telling pirate stories before bed to him and Matthew playing the fights described in the stories. 

He remembers the costumes Arthur would take out from his special closet, how he would love with amazement your fake duels. Furthermore, your feet work and how each of you would dodge the others swords. 

When you thought it was time to go back to Arthur and Matthew, probably either sleeping on the plastic grass with two towels on top of their heads, laid over their stomachs. Alfred told you he’ll join you in a few minutes. Saying he wants to check out something.

“I’ll be back with them then, at the towels.” 

You announced to the blonde, earning a nod from him as he walked away.

You walked back to your husband and the Canadian next to him, chuckling over their tans forming on their skin, when you could clearly see from their swim trunks their original skin color. 

“Alfred says he is coming soon,” you announced, now sure that they knew about your presence next to them. The towels over their heads did block their views, plus they couldn’t really know from the sound of your steps if it was you or any other stranger walking around instead of taking the right walking path.

Later on, Alfred came back, hurriedly walking to you. By then, Matthew sat back up, his back against the wall behind him, phone in hands looking at pictures you took of them.

You noticed the plastic grey package in Alfred’s hands immediately,

“What did you bought again ? We already have pool fries and water guns—“

“Happy early birthday—“ he cut you, shoving the object in your hands.

“Oh well, thank you but what is it— ? A lightsaber— why ?”

You smiled as you asked and looked up to Alfred, his talking figure in front of your sitting on, hiding the sun perfectly.

“You’re the most amazing swordswoman I met, plus the old man right there,” he points to Arthur, still head fully under his towel and mumbling insults to his own “son”,

“Said you didn’t have any lightsaber from Star Wars— so I got you one!"

Alfred finished,

“No need to Alfie, oh but thank you— I’ll try it now if you want—“ you thanked and opened the plastic package, trying the lightsaber in your hands. This one being bigger and heavier than the ones the woman gave you earlier, obviously for kids. 

You felt the lightsaber in your hands, the sounds coming from it and vibrations, faking the movie effects. When done doing pretty tricks with it and turning it back off, you hugged your older son. Thanking him again for the lovely gift, it wasn’t much, but the thoughts and memories associated with this plastic toy meant more than a real sword and meant more duels with your boys.
