I'm also suffering from lazy syndrome, so I'm just going to post the entire first part of the RP without editing it. My post will be at the bottom.))
“Really, this is sooo stupid,” Hyde complained, tapping his long, unkempt nails on the black leather of his sofa. He almost looked like he didn’t have a bottom half to his body – black leather pants on a black leather couch, didn’t leave much room for contrast. “Why can’t those rats watch you themselves?” Hyde glanced down at his great-grandson, whose back was to him, resting lightly on the sofa

while his nose was buried in a book, and the sandy-haired boy regarded him with a shrug.
“Who knows.”
“I bet you do.”
”Mm.” Pax shrugged, his attitude easily letting on how little he liked being talked to when he was reading – which he about 13/7, the rest of the time was devoted to sleeping and the occasional piece of bread. Even if the boy did eat more, it wouldn’t have had any effect on his scr

awny body – he was a twig like his mother.
Hyde rolled his eyes, looking to his two great granddaughters, hoping they’d be more willing to disclose some insight.
Tawny, however, was entirely entranced with a video game, tapping the screen of her DS at an alarming rate; the ticking noise was about to drive Hyde up the wall. She would be of no help.

The teen was sitting inbetween her older relatives, Hyde and J. She looked up at Hyde, never wanting to get on either of their bad sides. "Maybe becaause they havne't been on a date in a while?" she suggested, offering a small smile. "And their parents wouldn't watch us?" She wore a black leather jacket, hoping that this would get her on her great grandfather's good list, and a tube top along with

Her hair was in a ponytail, a high one. She looked between the two of them, curiously.
"Possibly." The Sandman muttered, shrugging. "I dont' mind it so much. Gives me time away from my job..." He said. He wore the same clothes as always; gray jeans and greay t-shirt. Everything was either gray or sand colored for him.

“BAAH, dates are for squares,” Hyde exclaimed, crossing his arms and sliding down low on the couch, pouting like an angry five year old. “Besides, you lot are boring – one of you only reads, the other only plays video games, and you only such up,” he stated, referring to the third great grandchild.
Then, looking to Jan, he raised an eyebrow. “And you just sit and…do nothing, which makes you the mo
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
st boring of all.”
Both Pax and Tawny shrugged lightly, absorbed in their own things at the moment.
Tawny shut her game off suddenly, flipping the DS around in her hands and looking at the back. “Sis,” she piped up, ejecting the current cartridge and studying it for a moment. “Do you know where I put my blank cartridge; the one that had the blank white box on the front? I wanna practice.”
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
((What she means by practice is practice her puppeteering skills - she can only summon things from a digital abyss, aka her blank cartridge |D; ))
[Des] The Voice says:
Rino looked up, raising an eyebrow. "How should I know? You're room's a pigsty." She said, crossing her arms. Turning to hyde, she added, "And I don't such up!" She told him, glaring.
Jan looked over at Hyde. "Hey, leave Rino alone... She's just trying to get on our nerves. The other two could care less..." He said, sighing. "Take it as a commpliment."
[Des] The Voice says:
((I'm gunna get off at nine))
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
((Kaay))
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
“Meh.” Hyde shrugged, as if he weren’t fazed either way.
Tawny wrinkled her nose, glaring at her sister before jamming the cartridge back into the game system. Well, there was no denying that fact – her room as in a constant state of complete disaster. However, when she turned the game back on she was only greeted by a blank, black screen. “Heeeyy,” she whined softly, flicking the game off, and
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
then on again.
Again, only black. Then, the screen rippled and the blackness shot upwards. Tawny’s first reaction was to throw the DS away from her, straight forward, and it was Rino’s misfortune that she was directly in the line of fire. The DS smacked off her knees, falling to the floor, and then suddenly the darkness was upon her, jumping and twisting up around her legs.

[Des] The Voice says:
((ok XD))
[Des] The Voice says:
Rino screamed. "NERD!! What did you do?!" She yelled at her sister, frightened now.
Jan rubbed his eyes, and glanced over at Hyde. "Hyde...? Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" He asked, staring at the vines of shadow. "I've never seen this, have you?"
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
"UH - nope." Hyde stated, blinking a bit. Ooh. This was interesting!
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" Tawny shrieked, jumping to her feet and glaring at Rino. At about the same time, the vines conjealed into two large hands which grasped Rino by the legs, pulling her down into a mass of blackness that had formed at the base of the jello-y arms.
[Des] The Voice says:
"Hyde...? How in the world do we stop it??" Jan asked, now knealing on the floor, looking at the arms carefully, but cautiously and curiously.
"I called you a nerd! Stop them~" Rino screamed, clawing at the hands vigorously. "Make them stop!!"
[Des] The Voice says:
((I love how they're juust not doing anything about it. XD))
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
"I'M not doing it!" Tawny defended, glaring at her sister while, simultaneously, wishing she WAS the one doing it. UGH, what a rat! Calling her a nerd, oh, she'd get what was coming to her. Later, at least, for now Tawny planned to do absolutley nothing to help her sister.
Hyde knelt down on the floor, poking at the arms which seemed intent on dragging Rino into the dark mass. "Uhm...dunnno." But
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
as he poked them, the hands pulled even harder, yoinking Rino right off the sofa and onto the floor, though not quite into the darkness.
In response, the darkness surged up around the hands, and the stretched and solidified into about half a body, which took a stronger hold around Rino's waist, pulling her harder now than before.
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
((LOL, they're all so used to weird things happening that they don't even -bother-))
[Des] The Voice says:
Rino screamed. "JAN!! HYDE!! HELP MEEE!!!" She screamed, and turned to her little brother, reaching for him with tear filled eyes. "PAX!!"
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
Pax looked up, about to say something as he laid his book down, but there wasn't enough time between him having to think, having to react, and the time it took for the body to pull Rino into the darkness completely for him to actually do anything helpful. Well, that sucked. He probably would have grabbed onto or something, but he was so ridiculously scrawny that he would have lost his grip in abou
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
t three seconds.
"...UHHHH." Hyde noted Rino sink fully into the darkness, a little put off by the fact that she had actually been -crying-. "Well....that's not good. UHM, hmm. We should probably figure out where she went before her parents get back." Such a statement was followed by a face that held resemblance to this "=|".
[Des] The Voice says:
Jan had the same expression. "Yeeeahhhh..." He said, and looked into the screen. "Mayyybe we shoouuuld..." He muttered, and licked his lips, taking a deep breath. "Well, I got work to do! See ya!" He said, standing, waving and turning to walk away.
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
"HEY!" Hyde grabbed him by the hair, yanking him back. "You are -not- leaving me to do this on my own!"
Somewhere, on the otherside of the world, or maybe even universe - afterall who could really tell? - the darkness suddenly subsided, in rolling waves, revealing a room that was furnished in furniture that was hidden beneath white sheets and covered in several layers of dust - except for one dar

[Kale] Inkspell! says:
now?" He questioned, leaning on what appeared to be a giant paintbrush which had materialized with them. "I got the kid."
[Des] The Voice says:
Rino looked at either of them, pushing her bangs out of the way. "What... what do you want with me?" she asked, wiping at her tears gently, and biting on her knuckle nervously. "Whatever it is, my grandmother can pay! I swear, whatever your price..."
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
"Pssh, I'm not looking for money," the first boy replied, hopping off his chair and crossing the room to stare at Rino. He wrinkled his nose, scrutinizing her for a moment before looking to the other boy, who still had his arm around the girl's waist. "Are you -sure- this is the right one? Aren't there three?"
"There are only two girls, and this is the one that was nearest that technothingamabob.
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
So, I'm assuming."
"You're assuming?" The other boy scoffed, rolling his coffe colored eyes. "Alright then. You, girl. You are going to forfeit your puppet powers to me, mmkkaay?" Though, the way the boy said it implied that it was really a question, and more of an order.
[Des] The Voice says:
Rino blinked. "Wait, what? I... I don't have those powers!" She said, shaking her head. She was frightened, and she hugged her jacket close to her, not trusting these two new boys at all. She knew what a perv was. "Y-you've got the wrong girl!"
[Des] The Voice says:
Jan yelped in pain. "OW! Hyde, that hurt you baffoon!" He yeleld, and slapping his hand away.
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
"Uh, duh, that was the point," Hyde stated, raising an eyebrow. "It's the only way to get your attention, other than hanging your wife over a pit of scorpions."
The first boy blinked, once, twice, very slowly as if he didn't quite understand what she had said. "...what?" He blinked again, his cheeks starting to redden. "WHAT?!" he whipped his head around to stare at the boy holding Rino, his fac
[Kale] Inkspell! says:
e growing redder and redder by the second. "YOU IDIOT!" he screeched, flailing his arms. "YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE!"
"Did it ever occur to you that she could be -lying-?" The second replied, raising an eyebrow. "No one ever said these Ripper descendants told the truth."
[Des] The Voice says:
"Eh, you wouldn't do that..." Jan thought a moment, and shook his head. "Pax, Tawny, we're goignt o need your help finding her." He told them, folding his arms.
Rino began to panick slightly. "No! I- I don't have any powers!" She said, trying ti wriggle free. "I know my family lies a lot but I'm not lyingt o you now... let me gooo!!" She cried, looking at him with her big purple and very wet eyes
----
Harlyn, the first boy, looked doubtfully at Rino. She had to be joking - they seriously couldn't have the wrong kid. That...that was -sooo- much wasted effort, just to end up getting the WRONG PERSON ENTIRELY?
Alright, not entirely - they were close. They'd at least gotten one of the siblings they were looking for. So, if they reopened that portal...but it had taken a lot of effort on both Harlyn and his comrades part...
"Ampersand!" He practically shrieked, his voice hitting an unnaturally high note. "I can't BELIEVE you FUCKED UP...AGAIN!" Harlyn threw his hands up, storming back over to the chair and flumping down in it. "Now what are we going to do?"
"Pull a switcharoo?" Ampersand suggested, shrugging lightly before squeezing Rino tighter around the waist. "Or we could keep her. You never did try to see if the gloves work without an outside source of power."
"Oh, for pete sake, I see where you're getting at with this - no. Besides, I did TOO try already. It didn't work." Harlyn sulked, leaning on his hand. "I told you, I got gypped. I killed -all- my cousins for a grand prize that totally was -not- worth the effort."
