Spoiler: Ambiance

Finding themselves surrounded by forest, lost in this maze and far from the kingdom, the Tilly's sat in a small clearing, eating the last of the food left in their cart. Somehow, at some point, this family of merchants had taken a wrong turn and never made it to Spiritcrest, a town a day away from the kingdom where merchants and adventurers go to exchange goods. Now they were stuck here, unsure of which way they came and unsure of where to go. Their only choices left was to allow themselves to die or to make the best of their situation. Choosing to live, the small family of five began building a small hut to live in, keeping themselves out of the weather and out of the way of the creatures roaming at night.

For some of the creatures, fire was enough to keep them at bay. For others, objects they had on hand helped in ways they would have never guessed. But there were a few who watched from the shadows, the kind that the family couldn't fend off if they attacked. Over the centuries, the small hut turned into a small town, clearing a part of the forest to make room for the new houses. Others who had become lost eventually found their way to Tilly's Town and for generations their family's thrived here, any who came and left were rarely ever seen a second time. While much of the world outside this forest has moved into a more technological advancement, Tilly's Town remains forever stuck in an ancient era and it seems the human residences do not want to change that.

Plot

An anonymous letter was picked up by Eve's familiar, Styx, and dropped into her lap upon returning to her hut hidden away in the depths of the forest. In it was one piece of parchment, with a spell for immortality. Several of the items listed she already had on hand, while a few she could easily gather in no time at all. However, there were two items in particular that would prove to be difficult; the bone of a black dragon and the heart of the person she loved.

Never having bothered to go to Wyrmbone Woods, she was sure it would still be easy enough to gather a piece of dragon bone. Though deciphering which type of dragon she was looking at would no doubt prove to be a chore itself. The last item, however, was the only thing stopping her. Eve had no love for anyone. She was never shown it so how could she show another? With a roll of her eyes, she handed the parchment back to her familiar who flew over to set it on her desk.

"Not going to at least attempt it?" A high-pitched voice came.

Eve hadn't bothered to look over as Styx spoke, hearing those clawed feet of his hop along her desk. "The last item doesn't exist. Why should I gather everything else?" There was a silence that followed and she could hear him rumbling through papers on her desk. After a long moment, Eve finally pulled herself to look away from the window to see what he was doing. He had started tearing apart the parchment, bit by bit with his black beak and Even had to quickly run over and stop him. "What do you think you're doing?!"

"If you don't need it, no one else needs it."

Even pressed her lips, picking up the holed parchment and looking it over. "You just want me to do something."

"Mistress has been locked in here for weeks."

He wasn't wrong, she had no want to go anywhere nor the energy to watch the humans mingle with one another. Eve sighed, thumb smoothing over one of the holes made. There were five total items she needed and three of them she could easily buy from the humans in Tilly Town. This was, assuming, she could get in and out before a witch hunter picked up on her trail. "Fine, fine. I'll figure it out. Maybe it'll be your heart I sacrifice for my immortality."

Styx cawed and flew away, back out the large window he had entered from. Eve was left with the parchment and silence once more, watching as the rain drops slowly began to land against the windows. It did give her something to do, at least. In the morning, she would head to Tilly Town and see what she could find.​

Looking For

This little town came randomly while I was rereading a prompt I wrote about three years ago. Since I am not a dungeon master of any sort and planning something out before hand is not a strong trait of mine, the best I can provide is the setting and a starter. I develop everything on a whim and am offering for anyone who wants to join and mutually build this little town and some of it's surrounding inhabitants, consider this your invite.

The characters and world need to both be able to grow with the story. I'd like to see it be alive and growing with more depth while our own characters are working on their own growth. I enjoy smut when it comes to my character and we can discuss that further in PMs. She is not an easy character to get along with and I will not downplay it. Eve is mean and aggressive and a bit more sadistic than she is masochistic. However, I do prefer plot with the smut and the latter not to be a main focus. A lot of this is to help me write better and dig deeper into my character(s).

Since it's open as a free place to write in, I'm game for any kind of roleplay and multiple can happen at once since time doesn't need to matter. Adventure or wars between the supernatural over land or even romance can happen easily, I'll leave it up in the air for you. Though, if trying to eventually build any kind of relationship (friend or lover) with Eve, she is toxic. I hope your character is strong.

If you're interested, feel free to send me a PM, the plot above is where the roleplay will start initially, but if you have a character you want to implement we can work out more plots to fit to it!​
