”Oh, Stephanotis…
How far have you fallen?

Do you even remember?

Have you forgotten me?”
₊˚ ✧ ━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━ ✧ ₊˚


[This roleplay is a slight continuation/sequel/prequel to my old roleplay that was launched in 2023, going by the same name. Since the second part is taking longer that I anticipated, and because I have free time, I figured that I’d start a segment of the story with a friend. :>
I would not recommend joining this roleplay if you’d take a disliking to the countless references to TEOAE, the chaos, and the huge amount of lore. If you still wish to sign up, please send me a palpad/private message and I’ll consider! I don’t wish for the forum to become cluttered with sign-ups scattered across the place. ^^”
Please note that I’m only accepting 5 characters in, which means one per-person :>]


Characters:

⋆⁺。˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙⋆˚。⁺⋆
“Sometimes, it’s better to stay in the dark than to walk in the light. Majority of the time… the truth hurts. I’ll rather live a comforting lie than burn myself in the painful truth.”


Name: Ping (He tends to spell his name as ‘P1NG!?’ whenever he’s writing his name down. The punctuation is optional.)

Alias: Voidie (by The Lost Girl)

Appearance: [X]

Personality: Ping is typically childish, often saying random words he’s attempting to learn whenever he feels like it. He’s highly thoughtful of others, putting their thoughts and feelings into consideration before his own.

Backstory: Since he has yet to learn it fully, Ping tries his best to speak and form perfect English sentences.
Every time Ping tries to remember something about his past, all he seems to recall is static… and… blood…

She typically wears a black lace dress, and her skin is white.

”Everyday, we used to watch the sun rise over the mountain and sink below the lake together. Recently, I… I’ve been watching it alone. In the exact same place as we used to.
I… I miss you. I don’t know where you are, or what they did with you, but I miss you a lot.

Please… come back. I don’t care when. I just… I just want to see you again.

I-“


Ping regained his consciousness, awaking to find his chain chomp chewing the zip on his hoodie. Calmly, he sighed and snapped his fingers, causing his weapon friend to disappear.

“I… uugh, where am I…? Weren’t we in the forest not long ago? How did I end up…”

He glanced around himself. Unfortunately, he didn’t know the word to describe where he was. Ping squinted at the body of water which went as far as the eye could see before looking at the floor and picking up some of the sand, watching it sift through his hand and fall gently onto the floor.
He giggled and picked up more, seemingly intrigued by the minerals.

Ping seemed so interested in the sand that he remained oblivious to the scene that was to occur shortly…

The creature ran across the woods, their eyes were gleaming in the sunlight as the multiple spots on their body lit up spectacularly. They didn’t even know where they were going, but the instincts and childhood memories completely took over their mind. They wanted to explore, to find new places! No, they had to. They never expected what would happen next.

Tex rushed through the forest, unaware or uncaring of their surroundings. This exact thing was what has caused them to trip over a root, falling from the bushes into the sand. While jolly to find something that wasn’t just endless green, the happiness quickly left their face as surprise took over. They didn’t expect to find anyone else here; { Mind: Whuh…? What is this weird thing? Or is it a person? } they’d think, blinded by confusion. The Glowiie stared at Ping for a longer while, yet to say anything.

It was only now that Ping had noticed that everything surrounding him was an odd shade of white. His gaze slowly turned to the grey shaded sea before him.

(”Wasn’t that… blue before…?”)

He glanced to his side, finding a path leading to a forest not so far, with a large amount of dark grey pine trees behind it, standing proudly in the abysmal sunlight.

Ping got to his feet. He could’ve sworn he saw something blue fly out of the trees…


As he walked closer, it seemed evident that it was another life-form. He opened his mouth a little, moving his sharp, razor-like teeth away from each other for a moment. He shoved his hand in his mouth anxiously and glanced around, not knowing how to introduce himself.

After all, it had been… at least a year since he last communicated to anyone.

The creature looked at their surroundings, bewildered. While they’ve been through a lot of different things it was their first time seeing something like that. Tex tilted their head and continued to stare at the void entity before them with those large, yellow eyes.

Ping pulled his hand out of his mouth and looked at it, quickly adjusting the front part of his sleeve.

(“Just… s-say something to them…

W-What did she say t-to you… when she u-used to see you e-every morning…?”)


A memory floated into Ping’s mind, and he smiled faintly. He looked at the creature and waved slightly.

“S… Seasons… g-greet…ings…?”

Little did they both know, someone was watching this adorable scene unfolding in front of them from the shadows, literally of course. She just stays there, cold, calculating, staying safe within the cofines of Ping's shadow.
This is my boy. Help him be the pretty princess he was destined to be

"Salutations." The creature said, offering their paw to the entity. "The name's Tex, it's good to meet you." They looked back at the lake, staring intensly at their reflection in the water. "I suppose our paths have crossed?"

Ping tilted his head. He slowly placed his hand on Tex’s paw and did a slight, goofy smile.

“I… yes, they indeed have…! I.. I’m Ping…! It’s… it’s a delightful occurrence that our paths have c-crossed, sir.”

He seemed to have reorganised himself quickly and gazed out to the lake with Tex, oblivious to the figure watching over him.

The figure in question smiles to herself, before leaving Ping's shadow, in favor of becoming just another reflection on the water, taking on her true form, her black lace dress billows in wind that isnt there and messing around wit Ping and Tex's shadows. ("This will have to do for now. . .") She sighs.

Ping tilted his head. He thought he could see something in the water…

She somehow gest closer in the reflection, like getting closer to a camera. She smiles, evil intent lacing it.

Ping slowly lifted his hand, summoning his chain-chomp into it.

“T-T-Tex…? W-Who’s that l-lad in t-the w-w-water…?”

He took a step closer, holding his chain-chomp friend close to his neck. It rolled its eyes and let out an exhausted sigh.

They looked down onto the lake’s surface. “What… lad— AH! WHAT IS THIS THING?!” Tex shouted, bewildered by Venus’ reflection.

Her hand emerges from Ping's shadow and taps his shoulder. She snickers.

Ping shrieked and swung his chain chomp at Venus.

Venus bursts out laughing, silen from her place in the reflection but can be faintly heard from Tex's shadow. Venus hunches over, still laughing. ("How dare he try and attack me?")

The chain chomp missed and Ping pathetically fell over, with his friend not landing too far.

(“You idiot.”)

“Aah… s-sorry Chompy, I should’ve thought that was to end like this…”

(“Should’ve thought that before you summoned me, idiot.”)

“I s-said sorry-!”

Ping slowly stood up and snapped his fingers, causing his weapon friend to disappear. He slowly turned towards the lake, nervously tugging at his hair.

Venus is now silent, staring at Ping. She speaks, but nothing comes out.

Ping slowly waved.

“Err… hello. Perchance, do you know our location…?”

He gestured to the white world around himself.

“Because… this doesn’t seem like… where I came from…”
