Archived Roleplay:Maia and Ri-chi's RPs

Zach and Maia
''It was a perfect Sunday afternoon. A light, cool breeze passed through the rocky edges of the cliff. The sun was descending into the vast ocean, casting red, orange, and pink hues into the heavens and causing the waters to shimmer like glitter. On top of a cliff, two people were destined to meet... only, they knew not how Fate would make it happen.''

Zach: ''Without knowing why, he had began walking towards the cliffs, as though pulled there by some unknown force. He climbed and climbed until he was on top of one which overlooked the ocean and part of the forest.''

Maia: ''She was already near, throwing a rock into the ocean. She was alone, not even her violin was there. She forgot to bring it. And with all her rocks already somewhere on the ocean floor, she really had nothing else to do. Except sing. So she sang the song, "And so it goes."''

Zach: ''Without realizing it, he had sat down crossed legged close to the edge of the cliff, simply watching the waters below sparkle and shine. Light splashing sounds made their way to his ears, soon followed by a melodic voice. His head slowly turns in the direction, his eyes closing as it did so. He knew that voice. How could he not? It was so sweet and gentle....''

Maia: ''So she sings. As with the violin, Maia goes completely unaware of her surroundings, simply letting herself go into her own world of music.'' ... a sanctuary safe and strong, to heal the wounds, from lovers' past, until a new one comes along...

Zach: ''Despite the crashing of the waves against the shore, he could hear the daughter of Apollo as clearly as though she were standing but a few meters in front of him. The song seemed, to him, familiar; as though it were one which he had heard many years ago. Failing to control himself, his eyes open and he sees the familiar figure of Maia Ashman. As he sees her, a smile graces his lips.''

Maia: I've spoke to you, in cautious tones. You answered me with no pretense. But still I feel... I said too much, my silence is my self-defense. She hums along as she looks at the sunset, and the wind suddenly blew, through Maia's hair.

Zach: ''He was enjoying the sound of voice but, when the wind suddenly blew into the daughter of Apollo's hair, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. ''

Maia: Her face goes >.< when the wind blows, and she has to pat it down to make it not look like she wrestled a crocodile all over again. Gee.

Zach: ''Deciding that it was no longer nice to spy, he called out to her. ''"Seems like you're having a bad hair day."

Maia: ''She recgonizes the voice, only one certain boy had that voice. It caused her heart to skip many beats. It wasn't like this the whole'' day, Flower Boy. ''She smiles a little, turning towards him. And to stop her hair from looking like a rat's nest, she ties it up into a messy bun.''

Zach: ''He grins and lightly nods his head into the other direction, gesturing to Maia to come up to where he is. ''"Mind accompanying me up here for a while?"

Maia: She grins back and nods, walking over and sitting next to him. Hey.

Zach: ''He jokingly gives her a two-fingered salute. ''"Hey there."

Maia: What brings you up here? She tucks a few strands of her hair behind her ear.

Zach: ''He shrugs nonchalantly. ''"I don't really know to be honest...."

Maia: Maybe you just wanted some time of peace. I mean, everyone has that moment in time where they would want it. She stares at the sunset.

Zach: ''He shrugs and watches the sunset as well. ''"Perhaps..." ''Without meaning to, his eyes slide over to Maia. In silence, he watches as the setting sun creates a halo-effect on her hair, giving her a somewhat surrealistic effect.''

Maia: She looks back at him, blushing madly when she sees him looking at her. Uh, is there something on my face. She touches her forehead consciously.

Zach: ''He chuckles and shakes his head before turning his whole attention to the sunset, glad that its red hues hid the blush on his face. ''"Don't worry, there's nothing on your face. It's... perfectly fine..."

Maia: Ha ha. Riiight. ''She pats her forehead one more time before thinking, whatever and just puts her hand down. She sits in a crossed legged position and faces him, a blush slightly visible.''

Zach: ''He notices that she faced him and he looked over at her questioningly. Instead of asking anything though, he decided some light talkibng would ease the thick tension between them. ''"So... it's almost been a year since you got here."

Maia She blinks, suddenly it was dawning upon her. Oh yeah. She laughs. Time sure does fly by...

Zach: ''He nervously twiddles his fingers as he says his next lines. It came unto him out of impulse but it felt right to say it. ''"So... do you, uh, maybe want to have dinner together? To commemorate your one year here at Camp?"

Maia: It must've been butterflies that were in her stomach. Sure! I mean, why not? She smiles wide.

Zach: ''His eyes widen in a little excitement and hope. "''I'll pick you up on Saturday then? I mean, if Satuday's fine with you."

Maia: Saturday sounds awesome. ''She gets up and just watches the sun. And she lends him a hand if he wanted to get up too.''

Zach: ''He gratefully takes her hand and stands up, dusting off the dirt from his camp shorts. He could feel his heart beating wildly at the thought of taking the daughter of apollo out to dinner. He smiles again at her. ''"Saturday then."

Maia: ''She smiles back happily, her own her fast in beats too. She glances at the sun, it was almost out of view. She looked back at Zach and just stares.''

Zach: ''As though something come over him, he swiftly bent down a gave her a peck on the cheek. Even as he did this though, he felt incomplete... almost disappointed in himself. ''

Maia: ''Her eyes widen, her heart beats fast. Then she just smiles, shyly putting a hand on his cheek and drawing him close, until their lips touch.''

Zach: ''His eyes widen minutely before slightly leaning more into the kiss, deepening it. With his right hand, he holds Maia's free hand and, with his other hand, he manages to bring her closer to him.''

Maia: She grips his hand, and after for what seems forever, she lets go gently, resting her forehead on his, smiling happier.

Zach: ''He's shamelessly grinning at her. He notices that he's still holding her other hand but he doesn't let go yet. He leans back to give her some space but he clears his throat nonetheless. ''"So, yeah. Saturday." ''His grin becomes even wider. ''"No need to go dress all fancy, alright?"

Maia: She laughs You know I wouldn't.

Zach: ''He nods in an embarrassed manner. ''"Haha, yeah... but you never know..." He smiles again at her.

Maia: Ah, so.. She glances at their hands still together, blushing loads.

Zach: ''He looks down at their entwined hands, his eyes widening again before he reluctantly let go. ''

Maia: But when he lets go, her hand feels empty :c She turns to the sea.

Zach: ''He stares at the ground before lightly nudging Maia with his elbow to get her attention. However, he doesn't look at her yet. ''"Do you think... if, hypothetically speaking, we became... more than friends... do you think your half-siblings would approve of me."

Maia: I know the head counselor would approve. She chuckles. It's Kylie.

Zach: ''He chuckles along, thinking fondly of his friend. ''"If I'm not mistaken, that girl's been trying to spy on us for some reason."

Maia: She laughs Crissy too.

Zach: ''He smiles a half-smile at her. ''"Do you think we should tell them about..." He gestures to the two of them.

Maia: You know, if we do, Kylie would scream so loudly I'll be a violin-playing Beethoven. She cringes, imagining it.

Zach: ''He laughs out loud this time, knowing it's possible. ''"I wouldn't put it past her to do that. When that happens, I'll be sure to bring in a lot of nectar.

Maia: She grins I love you, so much. She immediately realized what she said and looks away, folding her arms to her chest, blushing all over again.

Zach: ''At her words, his face turns a bit reddish before he looks away, scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment and... happiness while he did so. ''

Maia: Well... She finally glances at him after the long moment.

Zach: ''He purses his lips before suddenly blurting out. ''"I like you.... a lot." ''As he said this, he kept his eyes on the ground, but his face was turning very red. ''

Maia: You already know how I feel. She walks closer to him, fidgeting with her hands.

Zach: ''Thorugh his peripheral vision, he can see her walk closer to him. He feels nervous again all of a sudden and when he spoke, his voice was soft. ''"I know I'm not as powerful as other guys nor as talented as others... but... w-will you give me a chance to become that person who would stick with you through thick and thin? I.... I want to be that person who protects you from others even when you can very well protect yourself..."

Maia: Deciding to be brave once again, she wraps her arms around him, giving him a hug. Yes, a really big yes.

Zach: ''Hearing her answer, a grin appears on hias face and he gently hugs her back, burying his head in her hair while doing so. ''"I'm very... very happy that you said that."

Maia: And I'm very, very happy that you asked. She lets go, but keeping her arms around him still, smiling like there was no tomorrow.

Zach: He again smile at her. "So, Saturday?"

Maia: She nods, grinning. Saturday.

Zach: ''He suddenly seems to notice how dark it suddenly was. ''"Oh, uh, I think we should go now..."

Maia: She mumbles. Oh, look, the moon's coming up. She nods over to the quarter moon rising into the sky. Hey, Aunt Artemis.

Zach: ''He scrunches up his face at the word "aunt". ''"Technically speaking.... isn't Lady Artemis my cousin or something? And... if she's my cousin then that makes Lord Apollo my cousin too....then that means..." ''As he speaks, his expression turns from .-. to -_- to O.O to @-@ and many more.''

Maia: Her expressions goes poker face. Trust you to break into awkward details. She sighs and laughs.

Zach: ''He laughs nervously and in embarrassment. ''"Hehe... s-sorry about." He makes a ._." face.

Maia: It's alright, I.. guess. >.< How about we just don't think it that way? Besides, the godly side doesn't really count.

Zach: ''He nods in agreement. ''"True, true.... but still, when you think about, it's slightly disturbing..."

Maia: She looks at him. Zach?

Zach: ''He turns his head to her, tilting it ever so slightly in curiosity. ''"Hm?"

Maia: Nudging him in the ribs lightly, she says Do keep your mouth shut. She flashes him a jokingly smile.

Zach: He turns red at her joke before just laughing it off.

Maia: ''She glances at the moon, which was now up in the sky. ''Yeah.. I should go.. tend to that cute puppy Danielle found in the Dark Cave. So, I should be on my way to the Infirmary. See you tomorrow?

Zach: ''Another grin forms on his face as he nods enthusiastically. ''"Tomorrow.... Do you want me to, you know, walk you to the infirmary?"

Maia: She smiles Sure.

Zach: ''In a gestures of gentlemanliness, he held out his arm to her. ''"Shall we go then, m'lady?"

Maia: She takes his arm. We shall, good sir.

''Zach leads Maia to the Infirmary, helping her get down the cliiffs and generally being a nice guy. They soon reach the Infirmary.''

Zach: "Well, he we are." ''As he says this, he seems look rather... sad.''

Maia: She gives a small smile at him. Thanks. She gently takes her arm out from his. I hope Kylie isn't here... yet.

Zach: ''He chuckles. ''"I don't think so. Last I heard, some kid was forcing her to go on a scavenger hunt or something."
