The Papermen (started/ Accepting)

Lucian Samoan

In fact, despite my doubt, we did end up finding the cottage. It was a squat little building that reminded me of ny uncle.

"So... what now? We've woken up in the middle of no where, we've found the cottage that I didn't know existed and we all have names that sound like they've come out of a Star Trek rerun. Anything else on your bucket list?" I asked Trixie, she turned on me, angry.

"What the hell's your problem! It's not our fault we're in this!" She stormed off.

Hi! Can I still join??

Helping these people find where they belong is a great feeling. Also I got to meet another new person. Alexander. We finally got to Lucian's cottage. When we got there he started complaining about some stupid bucket list. "What the hell is your problem? It's not our fault we are in this!" I yelled. Then I walked off and Rhea came running after me. "Are you okay Trix?" she asked. "Yes, I'm sorry, I just feel like going home. I'll see you around." Then I walked back to my cottage and layed down.

Knock Knock

I heard someone at the door so I went to open it. "Hi. I was hoping you were here, I just came to see if you were okay?" Alexander said. "I'm fine. Just need some rest. Hope you have a good day." I replied. I looked at him one last time and then closed the door. "Maybe we can hang out later? Like me, you, and Rhea and possibly Lucian?" He yelled. I waited a moment then said, "Maybe."

Afterwards, I fell asleep.

Alexander Steel

As I turned and walked away I looked up towards the sky. It was a nice blue color and the clouds rolled lazily by. Walking over to a nearby tree I climbed up into it. From here I had a wide veiw of the area including Trixie's, Rhea's, and Lucian's cottages. Although we found Lucian's cottage we still hadn't found mine, though I didn't really expect that we would.

With my back resting on the tree I pulled out a book and began to read. Reading is an excellent thing, although at times I tend to get lost in it. Suddenly my stomach growled. It seems i forgot to eat again... It's a good thing I decided to sit in a tree that rested beside an apple tree. Reaching over, I grabbed an apple and continued reading.

After what seemed to be only a little while, but was actually a long time, I looked up from my book. It was getting late. Shoving the book back into my cloak, I thought about the events of the day. It was definitely an interesting day. And who knows! Maybe I actually do have a cottage, a home. Somewhere. Though I didn't notice it, soon I was surrounded in darkness, in sleep.

I awoken to a noise in my kitchen. I walked inside and there was a rabbit looking for food. "Hey lil baby! Where did you come from?" I asked, not really asking the rabbit. I looked at the name tag and it said Missy. From the looks of it, I guessed it was my rabbit. It hopped in my arms and I smiled.

Walking into the living room I saw a cage big enough for a rabbit so I put it inside and gave it a carrot to eat. "What to do now?" I asked myself. Pretty soon there was a knock at my door, it was Lucian. "Hey. I'm sorry if I made you angry, I just don't know what's going on." he said. "It's fine." I replied. "Would you like to walk around with me?" he asked. "Uhm, sure." I replied and smiled.

We left from my house and just walked around, pretty soon we came to a cottage with the name Steel on it. "I knew he had a cottage too!" I exclaimed. "Alexander!!!" I yelled. I knew he was around here somewhere so I kept yelling, "Calm down!" I heard someone yell, I turned around and it was Alexander. "We found your cottage." Lucian told him. He looked around and saw a big sort of mansion like cottage, "There is no way this can be mine. I told yall, I am a traveler, I don't have these big homes like everyone else does." He said. I reached into his pocket, "Really now?" I questioned. Then I walked over to the cottage and the key, sure enough, unlocked the door.

Walking inside Alexander looked sort of amazed. "It's nice." I said. "Definitely." Lucian agreed.

Mage Almost


After the horse left, Mage decided maybe that it would be better if they found the others. Mage sighed and went back inside Odin following her.

"Maybe we should find the others." Mage said facing Odin who was sitting on the floor. Odin nodded and had a bit of excitement in his eyes. Mage smiled back and went to pack up. She grabbed a bag she made while Odin slept and a handful of raspberry's. Odin pulled on his cloak and they set off out of their ratty old shack. They walked for a good two hours or so till they saw a couple of cottages in the distance.

"Do you think they're there?" Odin asked quietly his cloak slung over his shoulder. Mage shrugged and kept hiking down the hill. Her long blue dress as almost black from being dragged along in the dirt all day. Odin was happily running along side her shooting his "gun" at passing birds. Mage hiked up her dress and walked quicker to keep up with Odin. They could see people walking around the cottages and most of them were caring the leather bound books that all the characters had revived.

Odin Stone


"I guess this is it," Mage said finally catching up to Odin. Odin nodded and ran a little quicker towards the people. He walked pass the first cottage to see all the doors had names printed on them. Odin smiled and looked for his and Mage's. He found his and smiled at the word 'STONE' printed in large block letters on the front of his door. Odin ran inside to find a small cat curled up on the floor.

"I have a cat?" Odin said bending down to pet the cat. The collar read 'Magnum'. The 44 Magnum was Odin's favorite gun from his favorite game. He smiled and pulled the cat into his lap stroking his silky brown fur.

"I'm going to my place, I'll just be next door." Mage said halfway out the door. Odin nodded but she was already gone. He put Magnum down and walk around his small cottage. In the back was a small bedroom with a closet full of clothing just like the ones he was already wearing. It had a small kitchen and dining table with a rocking chair by the window. It was small but it was still pretty cool. He went out the front door over to Mage's place.

"Guess what I have a dog!" Mage said happily as Odin walked in to see her hugging a golden retriever. "His name is Basket."

Odin smiled and looked down to see Magnum rubbing up on his leg. Basket walked over and sniffed him. Basket wolfed and Magnum played with the dog and they ran outside. Mage laughed for the first time since Odin met her. He noticed that she had changed into a pair of overalls, a plain white shirt, and Hiking boots.

"Lets go meet the others." Mage said taking Odin's small hand and walking down the path. Odin smiled and was glad that he had this girl to take care of him.

Alexander Steel

I was suddenly awoken from my slumber by the sound of someone calling out my name. Who could that be? I wondered, though I already knew. Almost without warning I fell out of the tree. "Ow, this is the second time I've fallen from a tree..." I muttered to myself. Dusting myself off as I stood, I headed toward the sound of my name.

"Alexander!!!" I heard my name being shouted again.

"Calm down!" I yell back.

"We found your cottage." Lucian told me. I looked around and saw a big mansion like building.

"There is no way this could be mine. I told you guys, I'm a traveler, I don't have these big homes like everyone else does." This couldn't be mine.

Suddenly Trixie reaches into my pocket and takes something out. "Really now?" She questioned, walking over to the cottage. She placed the object, which had been a key, into the lock. As luck would have it, it unlocked the door.

I walked inside amazed. I still don't fully believe this is mine.

"It's nice." Trixie said.

"Definitely." Lucian agreed.

As I walked through the building I examined it. It was definitely a nice house. I started on my exploration of the house. The first room I looked into was the living room. It had comfortable looking sofa's, elaborate and beautiful decorations, and an inviting fireplace, it was definitely a lovely room.

The second room I saw was the bed room. I don't know if it was by chance or for irony, but inside my bedroom in the center of the room sat a large oak tree, which reached all the way to the high ceiling, and among its branches was built a large platform, upon which rested a bed. Great, now i can fall out of this tree too...

"You must really like trees." I say, as we enter his bedroom. "Like I said, it's kind of a traveler's thing. Gotta sleep somewhere." he replied. I never got the concept of travelers, it seems anyways. He's one of the cutest guys I met so far. I thought to myself. "Well have fun. And hate to say I told you so." I said and smiled. He looked at me and did a little chuckle, I'm guessing it's because he knew I was right.

I walked out of his bedroom, Lucian stayed to talk to him. Then I went to his livingroom. It was pretty and the couches looked welcoming. I looked around a moment and decided it wouldn't hurt to sit on his couch for a few minutes. "I've never seen anything that looked so comfortable." I said to myself. Taking a seat, it immediately sucked me in a little. I layed back and let my mind wonder.. eventually I fell asleep.

Waking up, I realized where I was, I hurried up and ran out the house. On the walk back to my house I seen someone laying on the ground, it was a girl. "Hello?" I said. There was a notebook laying beside her, I opened it up Allestie Grace I said to myself. She was still passed out so I shook her until she woke up. Immediately she scooted back away from me, "It's okay, I'm not here to hurt you." I say. She looked at me and said,"Where am I? Who are you? Why am I on the ground?" but I didn't know how to answer that, because, I was still in the same position. "Just look at this notebook." I told her.

She looked at it and read the first page. "Allestie Grace?" she repeated. "My name is Trixie." I told her. Then pulled her up and I led her to my house. "Well I guess I gotta explain some of this place to you, huh?" I ask. She smiled and said yes.

I watched as Trixie walked out of the room. Lucian stayed and we started talking. We talked for a while before he decided he was going to head back to his own cottage.

"Bye," I said, as he walked out the front door.

"See ya around," he replied. The door shut behind him.

I walk down the hall, wondering what to do know. I guess I might read or something. Maybe go exploring. As I passed the open door to the living room, I saw something from the corner of my eye. I glanced inside. Laying on the sofa was Trixie, asleep. I stared for a few moments at her sleeping form. She looks so pretty sleeping there. I won't disturb her.

I continued to walk down the hall. Suddenly my stomach growled. I guess I should go locate the kitchen now.

Trixie Love

I told Allestie some of the stories of what has been happening, as I told her, we walked around the town until we came to her cottage. "Look, there is your cottage. It says Grace on the mail box." I say. She smiled and walked in, "Hey I'll see you later, I gotta go talk to someone." I yell. She smiles and waves good-bye.

Walking I go, Rhea came up to me. "Oh lord, your just the person I wanted to see!" I say and smile. "A new person has arrived. Allestie Grace. But anyways, that's not what I need to talk to you about." I say. "What is it?" she asked. I looked around to make sure no one was around before I said it. "I know this is weird, but I think I find Alexander a little attractive." I say. She smiles and says awww. "You only knew him for like 3 days though." she says. "That's the bad part." I say and laugh. Right then he walked up from around the corner. "Hey." he says and comes up and stands beside us. "Hey!" Rhea and I say at the same time. "Yall wanna hang out?" he asks. "Sorry, I gotta go do something right now." Rhea says, right then I knew why she was doin that. "Okay." I reply. Then Rhea walks away.

"Do you still want to hang out?" he asks. "Sure. What do you wanna do?" I say. "We can walk around I guess, I haven't really got to explore the place since I been here. Matter of factly, that's what I was doing until I seen yall." I smiled and we started walking and talking.

Jean sat up with a jolt.

A lone drop of sweat rolled down her forehead as she frantically looked at her surroundings. She was in a bed, but not her bed. Whose was it? Or was it her bed? What did her bed look like? No, this was her bed... wasn't it? Her previous feelings of disgruntlement began to fade; she knew where she was. She was in her apartment, in her bed, where she has been waking up most mornings for almost a year now. As she got up and washed her face, she still felt a nagging feeling like everything was somehow... new.

To get rid of the feeling she did what she always did. Or, thought she always did. Talked about herself.

My name is Jean Deyre. I am 23 years old. My favorite activity is travelling. I work part time at the Papermen bookstore. Today is Tuesday. I have work today.

I have work today.

Jean's eyes widened. What had gotten into her? Why was she all of a sudden forgetting simple things in her life? She cast the thought aside and began quickly getting dressed. On the way to work she'll have time to sort through what might be happening.
