Hanging Up The Cloak - A Charmed Roleplay

[Astral Alex]

Thought I'd try and kick start this part of the forum! I used to love roleplay, especially when people took it very seriously. Happy Charmed Day.

HANGING UP THE CLOAK
PLOT

May 21st, 2011. Five years since the Ultimate Battle. Piper, Phoebe and Paige are enjoying a relatively demon-free life as they raise their children. However, with the Underworld attempting to reform, and the sudden reappearance of a lost book, do the Charmed Ones have one final battle to face?

Starring:

Just Jad as Piper Halliwell

Astral Echo as Phoebe Halliwell

Astral Alex as Paige Matthews

Astral Alex as Leo Wyatt

AlyssaJMilano as Coop Halliwell

AlyssaJMilano as Henry Mitchell

Just Jad as Jack Thornson

Astral Alex as Billie Jenkins

And if anybody wishes to play a demon/warlock then feel free, I'm keeping the plot quite loose so their is room to create a story arc. also, if you wish to include another character into the story, then just ask and we'll see if it fits in and also, whoever played Piper and Phoebe/Leo and Coop can create the children for themselves, however, I would like to play Paige, so me and whoever plays Henry can brainstorm

Comment with who you want to be guys.

[Astral Echo]

I'd like to be Phoebe if you please.

Nice way to get things started, Alex. teehee

[Astral Alex]

Done! I will add you onto the main post later, I'm not at home at the moment and thanks Astral Echo, I justwish we could drum up some more interest!

[Astral Echo]

Hopefully interest will come soon enough.

[SARI-SINISTER!]

I'll play Henry!

[Astral Alex]

Okay guys, I'll add you to the first post. And hey avatar112boy I see your new! I hope that our RPG has attracted you to the site, and that you'll continue to post here

[Astral Echo]

We could probably begin soon, we could always double up on Leo and Coop if no one applies in the next couple of days.

[SARI-SINISTER!]

If no one applies in the next couple of days I could play Coop to, since Coop and Henry aren't really main characters, and I love them both! It'd be easy for me to play them!

[Astral Alex]

Hmm, I agree, okay I'll add Alyssa as Coop and I will play Leo unless anybody has objections?

[SARI-SINISTER!]

I think we're good!

[Astral Alex]

Shall I start?

Okay
--------------------

The rustling of leaves on concrete echoed down the dark, dingy alleyway. The sole light of a dull streetlamp partially illuminated the darkness, just as glowing blue lights appeared, showering the alleyway in dancing blue orbs.

"I can't believe you're making me do this now!" The voice of Paige Matthews hissed down her cell phone.

Their was a muffled noise as somebody spoke down the phone, which was pressed to Paige's ear as she edged forward a long the alleyway, dressed in an old, stained hoodie, pajama bottoms and Ugg boots.

"I don't care Phoebe! I've had to leave Henry with the twins and little Henry, do you know how difficult it is looking after two, terrible two year olds?! Double trouble, I'm telling-"

Paige was cut off as suddenly a dark mass emerged from a sewage grate and passed through Paige. She coughed and spluttered, dropping her phone.

Paige could hear Phoebe's tinny voice calling out from the cell phone as she turned to see the dark mass congeal into a human like figure, it began to run at her just as Paige thrusted out her hand.

The figure stopped in it's tracks and flew backwards, sheathed in white and blue orbs, it crashed into a dumpster and returned to the floating, intangible form.

"I'm not doing this! Cell phone!" Paige muttered as she backed away from the mass that was moving towards her again, her cell that she had dropped dissipated in glimmering orbs, reappearing in her outstretched palm.

The mass then lunged, like an arrow aiming straight for Paige. Wincing, Paige screwed up her eyes and orbed out.

[SARI-SINISTER!]

I'll go ahead and post Henry's horrible experiences with the twins and little Henry xD

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lights up, kids awake, Henry was about to go insane. Paige had left the twins and little Henry to his care for a little bit. He had no idea how Paige could honestly do it. Henry stretched back against the couch trying to rest, as one of the twins ran up to him stumbling the whole way. He sat up quickly as she jumped into his lap. "Dadda! Kat!" Tamara points at Kat. Whom appears seconds later. Tamara's identical twin ran in stumbling like Tamara had.

"Wahhhh!" Tamara began sobbing, Henry clung to her.

"Oh my god, Paige," Henry yelled without response, "You two are gonna drive me insane, thank god your little brother is quiet!" Proceeding to stand, he carried Tamara up into the air with him. Patting her back, and rubbing it softly until she was quiet. Little Henry sat in a play pen only a few feet away. Henry put his head down to view little Henry who sat there doing nothing.

"Looks like it's just me and you against these girls..." Henry said to the little boy inside the pen. He turned to look at Kat. Self-conciously, he picked her up into his arms as well. Each girl sat on either side of him. "Peace and quiet for two minutes." Henry closed his eyes.

"Are you guys hungry?" The children looked at him. Kat and Tamara both nodded, Henry turned to little Henry. Little Henry blew a spit bubble, and fell backwards when it popped. "You two, go sit in the kitchen-- Do not, touch anything until I get in there! Do not!" He let the two girls down, and turned to pick up little Henry. The two little twins ran, stumbling the whole way, together into the kitchen. They giggled as they shoved the kitchen door open.

"Paige, please hurry back..." He said out of breath, and picked up their little boy. Henry slowly walked into the kitchen to begin yet another horrible event. Eating...

The rustic grandfather clock chimed midnight as Paige materialized into the Manor hallway. She looked around, all the lights were off. She sighed and made her way into the kitchen, however a snore which sounded more like an earthquake made her jump and she instinctively orbed out.

"What's going on?" Leo cried, jumping up from the sofa that he had fallen asleep on.

Paige then orbed back in.

"Sorry hunnie, I never meant to wake you." Paige replied, sweetly, sitting down and running her fingers through her rather greasy hair.

"Surely Phoebe hasn't sent you demon-hunting again?!"

"You betcha!" Paige said, sitting down next to Leo as he scooted over.

"What is it lately? She's become obsessed, it's not as if you need to do it anymore, none of them pose a great threat." Leo said, yawning and stretching.

"Exactly, and she knows I was going to see Billie tomorrow, it's the anniversary of Christy's death isn't it?" Paige said, nestling back into the cushions.

"Oh god yeah, five years..."

Paige gave a half-smile as Leo got lost in his thoughts.

"So where's Piper? In bed?"

[Astral Echo]

With a crying baby cradled in one arm, her phone pressed to her ear and a mini version of the Book of Shadows in her hand, Phoebe Halliwell couched Paige from the other end of the line. "I can't believe your making me do this now!" The frustrated voice of Paige Matthews screeched down the phone.

"I'm sorry, Paige, is me wanting you to do a little demon hunting to make the world a better place for our children such a crime! Besides I had premonition and you know I don't ignore a premonition." Phoebe replied, rocking baby Ava back and forth in her arms.

"I don't care Phoebe! I've had to leave Henry with the twins and little Henry, do you know how difficult it is looking after two, terrible two year olds?! Double trouble, I'm telling-" Paige moaned before Phoebe interrupted sharply.

"I do remember the terrible twos Paige! But do you remember what being a new mother is like?" Phoebe asked, trying to settle the restless newborn. "And you know I'd love nothing more than to be vanquish some venomous little snake in the grass but I have Ava to think of at the moment!"

Phoebe stopped as she heard the cell phone clash against the ground as her sister dropped her phone on the hard floor.

"Paige?" Phoebe called. "Paige!"

Moments later, the phone bleeped as Paige went out of the signal range. "Great, just great!" Phoebe moaned as she chucked her phone and mini Book on the sofa behind her. She adjusted Ava in her arms before caressing her small face with the backs of her fingers. "Okay sweet heart, settle down, come on...can you stop crying for Mommy?"

[Astral Alex]

*Just a note*

Is avatar112boy really active enough to play Piper? What are your suggestions guys, as this story looks as if it's getting off to a great start and I think Piper could do with being introduced soon?

Coop hearted into the room after helping a couple solve their problems'. He kissed the back of his wife's head. "I'm home sweetheart..." He said calmly. Coop looked down at baby Ava. She was so tiny and cute. Ava resembled her mother a lot. Brown eyes, and hair. Nice smooth tan skin. He loved Ava almost as much as he loved Phoebe.

He remembered the day of every birth of every single one of his children. Each day was special, and he fell in love with all of them equally. Coop loved holding them, and kissing their foreheads. They were perfect just like their mother.

It was hell sometimes though. He was the man of the house, and the rest were all girls'. It is horrible with one guy in the house and four girls' in the house. He was always out numbered. He loved them all though, they were perfect in their own way.

Coop looked into his wife's eyes, smiling at her happily. "Is Ava doing alright? And how is my lovely wife?" He spoke softly to her, with his crushful voice. The voice he used so many times before when trying to get her to feel the same way for him. He turned her towards him fully, and kissed her lips softly.

[Astral Echo]

Phoebe turned to look as Coop teleported into the room in a burst of bright pink light causing little Ava to coo as she sensed her father's presence. Typical Daddy's girl, Phoebe thought to herself.

"Ava is doing fine. A little grouchy but I she's all the better for you being here." Phoebe told him, rubbing Coop's arm lovingly. "And Mom is doing okay too." She smiled, kissing him lightly on the lips.

"Mommy." A little voice whined from the corner of the room. Stood in bright pink pajamas, four year old Prudence Arianna rubbed her eyes as she held her stomach with her other arm. "My tummy hurts." She complained, tubbing her belly.

Phoebe looked over to Arianna standing in the doorway to her bedroom. "Alright sweetie, get back into bed and I'll come in and make it all better. Okay?" Phoebe told her lovingly before passing Ava to her husband. "Try not to wake your sister though, she's only just fallen asleep." She added.

"Lets hope you hasn't picked up the same bug Allegra got from playschool!" Phoebe told her husband, kissing Ava on the forehead who now lay in Coop's arms.

It was just another normal night at the Glide Memorial Homeless Shelter for one Jack Thornson. He was a 40ish year old man over six foot and in good shape with a heavy brow and strong chin and an easy smile. Everyone at the homeless shelter knew Jack by name as he'd volunteered there for years. He was always upbeat and friendly with the clientele without being patronizing.

Jack was done with his shift after midnight and as he was want to do, he walked home through the tenderloin district of the city. A district well known for it's sex trade and drug trade, but it seems that Jack could walk these streets without fear. Many of the people who worked the streets would greet him as he walked by.

But, on this night, as Jack walked by a dark alley, a figure stepped out of the shadows. The figure was male but maybe not human as he had a severe sunburn and what looked like redish scales on his forearm and forehead. He conjured a fireball and threw it at Jack before Jack knew what was happening.

Good thing that Jack was magically immune to fire and heat damage as the fireball engulfed him. Jack could feel the heat and some of his hair was sninged, but other than that he suffered no ill effects. Alarmed, Jack turned to face in the direction that the fireball had come from. The demon was just as shocked that the fireball had done no damaged as Jack was.

Using this to his advantage, Jack ran down the street as fast as he could with the demon in hot pursuit. Jack had just left the tenderloin when the attack happened so there was no foot traffic on the street at this time. Jack ran for a few blocks before he ducked into an alley with the demon still chasing.

When the demon raounded the corner into the alley, he ran straight into a magical trap that was prepared there for just such eventuallities. On the cement covered ground there was acircle engaved with occult symbols all around it. The demon slamed into it as if a force field had been thrown up around him.

The demon got back on to his feet as he'd been knocked down when he ran into the force field circle. He said, "Let me out of here or my clan with flay you alive one inch at a time."

From further down the alley in the shadows, Jack spoke, "Very funny, but if you notice the archaic writing around the circle. If anyone should try and track you, they will track you to the junction of ley lines in this city."

OCC note- I left this pretty open as Jack used enough magical power to spring his trap that either Paige or Coop could sense it. Onthe other hand if this demons clan mambers were tracking him, it would lead them to the manor.

[Astral Alex]

Very nice Jad! But guys I need an answer, shall one of us take over the role of Piper or what? It doesn't look like avatar112boy will be returning?

--

The hot, warm liquid trickled down her throat as Paige held her mug loosely in her hands. She was slumped at the breakfast bar of the Manor, Leo next to her, giving Melinda her nightly feed. Paige smiled and began tickling Melinda's cheek, she giggled and spat out milk all over Leo's jeans.

"Oh god! I'm sorry Leo, little Henry always loves it when I do that! Samantha too." Paige said, hurrying over to the sink and grabbing a tea towel.

Leo chuckled, but his face soon turned to a confused look:

"Samantha?"

"Yeah, I've started calling Kat by her middle name, I don't know, I just thinking; Katherine Samantha Mitchell and then realised how nice Samantha sounded."

"Aww, that's sweet honey." Leo said, dabbing down the rest of his jeans and manouvering Melinda, so that she rested over his shoulder, burping her.

"Fancy helping me put her to bed before you leave?" Leo said to Paige who was still cooing at her niece.

"Sure, then I better get back, I've left Henry on his own too long!!" Paige smiled as she and Leo walked up to the nursery. On their way, Paige peeked into Piper and Leo's room and saw Piper, flat out in bed.

Paige watched as Leo put Melinda down and checked on Wyatt and Chris in their bedroom.

"Right, Leo, I'll be-" Paige said, readying herself to orb out. However there was then a bang, and a crash from the attic. Turning to Leo in shock, Paige orbed out and orbed back in in the centre of the room.

A demon was stood there, his face disfigured by raw, red scales which expanded down to his forearms.

"What the?" Paige asked, her mouth open in surprise, the demon looked around, Paige noted that he looked as shocked as she did.

Gritting his teeth, the demon conjured a fireball, however Paige was one step ahead of him:

"Fireball!"

The fireball orbed out of his hand and into her's and she threw it at the demon who ducked, it hit a bookshelf which shattered, charred pieces of wood flying everywhere. The demon looked at Paige and conjured another fireball, but this time Paige waved her arm, much like her older sister Prue use too, and the demon flew backwards, sheathed in a coating of orbs, crashing into a shelf full of potion vials that smashed under his weight.

"Leo?! What's going on?!" The sound of Piper's voice echoed from down the stairs as the demon groaned and picked himself up, looking round in panic, Paige saw an athamae that had fallen to the floor after the collapse of the cabinet and called for it.

"Athamae!" Paige yelled as the athamae orbed out, and orbed back in, hurtling through the air at the demon. The demon opened his mouth and a slurring, spitting sound came out, and the athame stopped in it's tracks, in mid-air and spun round, darting towards Paige.

The blood drained from Paige's face, her reaction times weren't that good, as she screeched and held up her hands to cover her face, she heard a rushing sound and then silence. Nervously, she removed her hands from her face, Piper was stood there here hands outstretched, looking slightly manic, dressed in a pink dressing gown and her hair everywhere. Paige looked straight in front of her, the tip of the athamae was just touching the skin in between her eyes.

Piper had frozen it just in time.

Phoebe sat on Arianna's bed and swept the flowing brown hair from her daughters face. "See honey, Mommy can always make it all better, can't she." She smiled, closing the small black book she had in the palm of her hand. Casting spells to ease her daughters pains wasn't personal gain as such, she always saw it as magics little way of giving something back - and Grams had always used the same spells on her and her sisters when they were young. "Now you get some sleep, you have a big day tomorrow." She told her, kissing her daughter on the head.

"Mommy!" Arianna squealed, grabbing Phoebe's hand tightly as the psychic witch stood up from the bed. "What about the monsters?" The little Halliwell added.

"What monsters, Ari?" Phoebe queried, having never heard her daughters speak of such monsters.

Arianna looked across the room, a shadowed figure stood behind the door. The tall, mysterious figure placed his finger to his lips hushing the vulnerable young girl, his bright red eyes sparkling in the moonlight that bled into the room via the gap in the curtain. "Nothing." Arianna elusively muttered, lying back down in her bed and pulling the covers up to her neck.

Phoebe furrowed her brow, concerned out her daughters random outburst. She looked over her shoulder to where her daughter had been staring and low and behold, there was nothing there. "Okay sweetie, try and get some sleep." Phoebe hushed, kissing her daughter on the cheek and then leaving the room. Pulling the door closed with small click.
