A New Fantasy/Romance Thread...The girl in the Poster

[Jagged]

OOC
Background
My town in the middle of no where is a bit different then most towns in the United States. Witchcraft is a high school course, Jousts happen every Sunday, seeing a werewolf in the woods is a dangerous but not unheard of event. Even after my parents pasted away I couldn't move. So I remained in the family home after making some basic changes and started my own business. It is called Connor's Swords[/I though I keep other weapons and equipment in inventory. In this town it is not odd for me to walk to work with a cup off coffee wearing sneakers, blue jeans, a store t-shirt and a rapier at my side. The business is doing pretty well and I am even turning a profit which even if I am not thrilled with the bank is at least happy.

Only thing missing is meeting the right girl. I haven't had much time for a date with my folks passing on, a business to run and all those other things in life that keep you busy. One day I stopped at the gallery next door. The owner Sofia a kind woman in her 50's is always happy to chat with her new neighbor. As you may have guested she doesn't sell anything "normal" either. The paintings she sells have a funny habit of coming to life or letting you step into the scene. She had know I had been lonely and not wanting me to feel such gave me something. She said it was a WWII era pinup girl poster. She swore that it was nothing special and to just hang it on my bedroom mall like all sweat boys do with a pretty girl. I laughed but when I went home I hung it on the wall (you describe the pinup girl scene...remember women then were busty with curves) then went about my business.

The next morning I woke up to find that the poster wasn't on the wall but walking around the room.


Any interesting and imaginative ladies care to play with magic? I would love to bridge the two roleplay areas with a little romance and fantasy fun.

[Little Charming]

OOC:

Name: Veronica
Age: 22
Eyes: Green
Hair: Black down to her waist that she keeps back in a loose braid while at work
Height: 5’7 36C 26 37
Appearance: In the poster she’s wearing a nurse’s outfit with a stethoscope around her neck and a few papers in her hand being held on her hip. She’s standing in front of her hospital. She has fair skin that contrasts against her darker eyes and hair. A few freckles are spread across her cheekbones, giving her an innocent look.

Background: Veronica grew up with her parents during the WWII time and had always read books that involved witchcraft and creatures that were thought of as unreal. She had always dreamed of living in a time with vampires, warewolves, witchcraft and many other imaginative creatures. She had believed it was all fake until one day she bought the poster of a room filed with mystical items and posters of other times. She had tripped and accidentally fell through the portal. That was the day she met Sofia, and started learning her small spells. She was only 16 then.
Now:
She often times finds herself dabbling in magic in her spare time, usually while spending time with the shop keeper. She had learned just mostly defensive and shield spells like one that summons roots to entangle the attackers feet and a shield of ice. She is a nurse at Billings Hospital, the one behind her, and was popularly know for being the gentlest and kindest nurse there. Although shy, she was always polite and took good care of her patients.

IC:

Veronica had just gotten home from a long day at work. Mr. Rumpfield had gotten the common flue, and being a natural born stress ball, thought he was going to die. She had had to spend some time reassuring him that he just needed rest and drink lots of fluids. She sighed as she set her papers down on her kitchen table and headed for the poster in her bedroom of Sofia’s shop. Still in her work cloths she stepped through the poster. She called out to Sofia that she was there before she even realized she was in someone else’s bedroom.

“Sofia I’m he… whoa…” She paused as she looked around, stopping when she saw the man in the bed.Why did Sofia have to give the poster… she knows how shy I am! Well… I hope he is nice… She smiled shyly and introduced herself.

"Hi... I'm veronica..."

Mike had a lot of strange dreams growing up in his home town. I had to happen because of all the magic and other strange things that went on in the area. This though had to take the cake. Thing was it seemed like reality. The poster behind her showed only the hospital while before it had her looking sexy infront of it. Sofia was up to something he thought. What it was he didn't know.


He stood up and pulled back the sheets. He was only in an Eygptian lion cloth he had purchased from one of the merchants that travelled to the town's Time Square. Unlike New York this was an important place because it had many gates to alternative earths. The merchants there would often have the most amazing items up for sale. Mike looked at her and wondered where she came from a gourgous woman though.


"Ah hi Veronica I am Mike Conner and this is my house. What brings you here this morning? Your not in my poster any more? Not that I am complaining your really pretty but what is going on here?" He looked her up and down again head to toe. Very sexy woman. "Ah do you know Sofia by any chance?"

 

[Little Charming]

Wow... he seems nice...very friendly indeed! she thought as she blushed from his compliment.

"Yes, I usually visit her..." She looked around the room. "I'm guessing she sold the poster..." She smiled, feeling a little less akward standing infront of the stranger. "I came here to be with her...I've had a long day at work and I was looking for a little company. Nice house by the way." She looked at him and fluttered her eyes. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mike."

 

[Jagged]

Very sexy nurse infront of him seemed not to be just some magical image.



"Yes Sofia sold me the poster my shop is next to hers and well she said it was special and I would like it but she never mentioned that you were in it. Do you life in there?" Mike gestured to the poster. "Is it another world? I am sorry this is a lot to absorb right now. Tell me about yourself. Want some tea?"

Mike moved to his desk chair wear his jeans were and pulled them on followed by socks t-shirt and cowbody boots. When his back was to her he bend over and she got a pretty good view of his ass when the cloth moved. Mike had no idea that his guest saw him. He turned around and smiled. "That is better. Don't ususally receive guests this early..."

 

[Little Charming]

She blushed as she saw his butt, turning away slightly as she didn't want to get aroused while talking with her new handsome friend. "Yes, tea wold be great." She flipped her braid over her shoulder and took the rubber band out of it, running her fingers through her hair to straighten it out. "Yes, I live in there, and as far as I can tell, it's nothing like in here." She looked at him and smiled. "Well.. what exactly do you want to know about me...?"

 

[Jagged]

Mike smiled back as she spoke and glanced in a mirror. Even with a short hair cut after sleeping it didn't look great. He picked up his cowboy hat and open the bedroom door. "Let's go downstairs to the kitchen." He filed out into the halway and glanced back at her as her hair came down. "Wow your very pretty....I like long hair." The stairway was near the room and Mike and his guest soon were downstairs as the tea was boiling. The house had a lot of wood work and had a confortable lived in feel to it. Maybe once it had a woman's touch but things had moved on in a different route. When Veronica entered the kitchen a small furry white kitty ran out of the room. "Sorry that it Snowball she is a little shy. Ah what do I want to know about you?" He smiled," just everything."

 

[Little Charming]

The white flash running through the room made her jump slightly, but he had reashured her it was nothing to be afraid of. As far as telling him about herself... everything? Where do you start when they ask you to tell them everything! She stood and thought for a moment.

"Well..." Se began slowly, "I work at the hospital in the poster treating people who come in very sick and help them to get better..." She smiled up at him, feeling very proud that she had made it this far in her life. "I work as the docter's assistand I guess you could say... I used to come in here after work on some nights and in the mornings of my weekends to practice a few spells with Sofia..." She didnt know what else to say and was feeling slightly flushed from being the center of attention.

"What about you, what do you do around here? I never traveled out of the shop when I was here..." She fluttered her eyelashes instinctively as she smiled shyly, wishing to hear his calming voice again.

 

[Jagged]

Miked smiled at his new and surprize guest. He poured two large mugs and handed her one of hot tea. "Well me I do a lot of things around here at the house. It belonged to my parents. I read and stuff....I own the shop next to Sofia. I sell exotci weapons and stuff like that. Lot of young kids joust, sword fight, and many collect weapons." Mike smiled to himself. "So well what is the deal with the poster? I own it now but well you have a whole little world there. I don't know spells but I still have fun. I have computers upstairs for all kinds of stuff including games and well I collect other stuff to..."

He guided Veronica to the next room which had a display table setup. It was in the den and about 11 feet long. It had hundreds of minuture soldiers. One side red the other blue that looked at ancient Japanese soldiers and samurai. When Veronica leaned closer she saw that the figures were actually moving and fighting. The battle was actually going on on the table. She was amazed. "Ah wow that is very cool."

Mike looked over at it and at her. "It is one of three I have. They sell these at the hobby shop in town." He sat down on the couch andd gestured to her to sit across from him. "Ah are you single? Normal human female in other ways? Ah sorry I must be a pest. But do you have to stay in the poster? Because if you don't you can stay in the guest room if you want to see my world alittle. We have a local hospital as well that always needs staff." Mile looked her up and down again. She was beautiful and he was starting to like her...

 

[Little Charming]

She saw the figurines and then looked closer. They're moving! "Oh wow... cool!" was all she could say as she watched them but decided to take his offer up on sitting accross from him. "It is one of three I have. They sell these at the hobby shop in town." the blood was not something she wanted to see, even though she was a nurse. She sipped at the tea as he talked.

"Ah are you single? Normal human female in other ways? Ah sorry I must be a pest. But do you have to stay in the poster? Because if you don't you can stay in the guest room if you want to see my world alittle. We have a local hospital as well that always needs staff."
He was talkign so fast the words were spilling out of his mouth and he seemed excited, yet he still spoke slower then some of the high school girls now a days. At least... you could understand him...right?

"Well... I could always take a week off for vacation I suppose... They do need me over there though... and I hardlyknow you... but I wouldnt mind getting to know you..." She smiled sweetly at him. "And yes... I'm a single, normal female human... with the exception of some minor magic..." She took another sit and rested the cup in her lap, twirling it slightly in her hands.

"What about yourself? You seem too sweet to be single..." She fluttered her eyelashes a few times, blushing at the comment that slipped out, smiling shyly.

 

[Jagged]

"Well this is my family home. My Parents both passed away within a year of each other. I started my own business which has kept me pretty busy. There is always Snowball." Mike gestured to the kitty sitting on a window sill. Mike smiled and looked over at Veronica. "Your right it is alittle fast, but it is nice to be called sweet again though. Makes you feel better I can charge you rent." Mike smiled thinking this would smooth things over a bit.

"So how big is your little world in the poster? Just was is in view. This is all so utterly amazing. Don't take this the wrong way but how old are you?" Mike looked her over up and down. She was beautiful and he always loved girls with long hair.

"I think you will like Town X though."

 

[Little Charming]

"No, the world is much bigger over there, not just what you see n the poster, billions of people all over. it's quite busy!" She giggled at his question of how old she was. " I'm 22 and counting" she said. "As for rent... how would I be able to pay... if i don't have a job?" she smiled with a slight wink, his excitement was like that of a child infront of a candy shop, knowing he would get something soon, and it was very cute to her.

"What about you? How old are you? If this... Town X big too? I haven't traveled outside the shop... I really don't see how anyone couldn't think of you as sweet... and not call you a sweetie, cuz you really are one from what i've seen, and I'd love to stay with you for a little while if it is okay with you..." She smiled and blushed, took a sip of her tea and looked at him straight in the eyes. How long had it been since she'd been around such a handsome, nice young man... she was definately realizing ho wmuch she had mised having a companion of sorts.

 

[Jagged]

"Really is there another planet behind the poster side? I mean wow....your very interesting." Mike smiled at Veronica looking over at her.."Ah we could work something out as far as rent. You don't get paid at you nursing job?"

Mike fixed his cowboy hat and tipped it to Veronica. "Oh me I am old. I turned 26 this pasted summer. Your really nice to say I am sweet. It feels good." Mike glanced down at her feet. "Town X is pretty big it has some 30,000 people living here with alot of visitors coming and going like you." Mike smiled.

"I have to say sorry to you though. Here you are in a new place and away from your home realm, and I just dump on you....If you want you can go back in the poster and I will take you back to Sofia and the gallery." He secretly hoped she won't want to go back. At least not right away.

 

[Little Charming]

"no no no.. you don't need to take me back to her shop and I'd love to stay with you and yes... I get payed at my nursing job it's just... I kinda have to BE there.. in order to get payed.. and if I don't show up... I could get fired...but that's alright, I'm sure it would be worth it" She smiled sweetly and sipped the last of her tea out of her mug. She shifted and crosed her right leg over her left, causing her skirt to ride up her thigh a little.

 

[Jagged]

Ever since he was a boy Mike had thought women were beautiful. If he had to pick one area specifically had to pick one body part it would have to be Legs... ONe of the most awsome and femine things about a woman, and right now Veronica was giving him an eye full. She looked very hot in stockings and sneakers. A nurse wouldn't wear heels would she?

Mike forced himself back to reality so he wouldn't be caughty staring at Veronica. "Ah....ah well that is good I guess you have known Sofia for awhile. I don't want you to be fired, but well maybe we could work something out. I mean I could use help in the shop and like I said we have a hospital here..and...ah" Mike thought may as well go for it...why not?

"A lot has happen today. You like rootbeer and pizza? There is a place down the block that is fun and the food is pretty good. It won't be a date or anything just a chance to talk. Sound cool?" Mike finished off his tea.

 

[Little Charming]

Veronica

Why the hell not... nothing bad could come of it, right? it's not a date... and.. even if it was, I haven't seen a guy this good looking and even half as interested as it seems he is...

"Sure, sounds fun" She smiled sweetly at him, "You wouldn't mind too terribly if i went home real quick and got out of my work cloths, would you?"

 

[Jagged]

"Ah no not all Veronica. You walk back through the poster? I would like to see that..." Mike stood up and tipped his hat to her like a real cowboy. I would like to grab a shower before we do lunch. When Sofia gave me your poster I never thought this would happen...Not that I am not really happy to meet you, but I wonder what was are friend was thinking? She is very sweety but very crafty." Mike laughed and started to walk upstairs gesturing to Veronica to come along.

He turned around half way, and looked back at her and smiled. "You know your really flattering me by going out to lunch with me...I get to be seen with a beautiful woman."

 

[Little Charming]

Veronica

"You know your really flattering me by going out to lunch with me...I get to be seen with a beautiful woman."

She blushed and smiled back at him. "And I get to be seen with a handsome man." She smiled brighter and and followed him up the stairs to the bedroom.

 

[Jagged]

Mike smiled as the pair walked into his bedroom and stood by the poster. "Well it will be cool to see this Veronica." He took both her hands in his and held them gently. "No pressure to hurry back." He gave her a peck on the cheek and smiled. "Though I would like you too....."

 

[Little Charming]

Veronica

She smiled as he grabbed his hands in hers and she blushed a deep red when he kissed her on the cheek. "Though I would like you too....."

"I will hurry back." She smiled reashuring him, letting go with one hand and sticking her hand in the bottom of the poster, pulling the corner down and watching as it stretched down on the wall before stepping up into it, turning around a bit and smiling at him again as she backed into the portal type poster. As soon as she was in, the poster returned to it's normal state, high on the wall and not all stretched out anymore.

Once inside she skipped to her dresser and pulled out a sky blue color teeshirt and and layed it across the bed before going to her closet and pulled out a long, hip hugging jean skirt. sheading her cloths and and putting the new ones on. She waited a few minutes before poping her head through the poster, it immediately stretching again to let her through.

"I'm back..." She called out, not wanting to catch him naked again... but at the same time she did...

 

[Jagged]

Mike had seen a lot of things leaving in Town X both magic and otherwise, but this was a new one to him anyway. Like any good cowboy he tipped his hat to her as she went through the portal. She was very nice, and well it was good to have a woman back in his life. Though this by no means is what he had in mind.

Time to get ready he thought. He quickly went through the pile of clean unfolded clothes in the laundry basket and selected a pile and went into the bathroom. He took a nice hot shower aware of what it would sound like when Veronica returned. I he washed he thought of how nice it would be to have Veronica in here with him to clean up...well just a thought for now. Also what was Sofia up to with this whole thing?

With the door half open Mike began to towel off when Veronica returned. Without thinking Mike yelled out..."In here babe almost ready."

 

[Little Charming]

Veronica

Babe? Oh.. that's hot.. but... why's he callin me babe? Intersting... she thought.

"Alright!" she called back, stepping through the poster completely and brushed herself off to straighten her cloths, turning around to sit on the bed while she waited. She decided to just intertain herself and used her rooting spell, creating vines from the wooden floor and made them dance like cobras for a little while.

 

[Jagged]

Mike finished drying off, and slipped on a white botton down shirt and blue jeans and a fairly new pair of cowboy boots then his white stetson. He walked out to look at Veronica.

"You look really nice honey." Mike offered his arm to her which she took it and he led her out of the house. It was a nice day and the sun was out. "Today is the day I open the shop later in the day. Plenty of time for lunch." He smiled at her and felt good to have her with him.


Nearby a bunch of little boys dualed it out as knights in real small suits of armor. They had wooden swords but were still going at it pretty hard. Mike looked over at Veronica. "Jousting is a big sport in our town. Ah we are pretty different here you will find. I hope you like it though."

 

[Little Charming]

Veronica

Veronica smiled when he called her honey, no mater how odd it wasto be called that, it was a sweet treet to her ears and she decided not to say anything about it. "You look great too" She said as she hocked her arm in his. The sun felt good on her skin she thought, it hadn't been very nice weather in her town lately, always overcast and gloomy like. She was also very happy that they didn't have to rush to eat, she liked to take time to enjoy her food, and more importantly, she wanted to enjoy the person she was currently with.

As they passed the boys pretending, though rather murselessly, to joust and smiled at how cute it looked. It was also quite amaizing that they did take it so serously. "Jousting is a big sport in our town. Ah we are pretty different here you will find. I hope you like it though."
"I'm sure I will love it, it sounds like a great place to be so far, and I am liking it more every time i find something else out." She looked at him and smiled brightly. "So, what are the people like here? I mean... not too hostile to newcomers, I hope?...."
