If you are reading this right now, you have decided to either lurk upon or participate in this roleplay. Well, I hate to break it to you, but this is not just a roleplay. This is an RRM, or Random Roleplaying Moment. An RRM starts off in Medias Res, or in the heat of action. Biographies for charaters are not constructed, but features are explained as the roleplay goes on. Posts rarely consist of more than a few short but deive paragraphs. Basically, the person who creates the RRM (namely me), will decide what is going on at the moment. Yes, I know this is a lot to take in at the moment, but it will make more sense as we progress in this roleplay. Please attempt literacy. To join, just ask to join. No bios are needed, and anyone can join at any time.
Love is unconquerable. For love needs not the pleasure of outward beauty, as it takes great pride in the inward. Love needs not the cushion of luxury and riches, for lovers tend to grow closer in strife. Love needs not fame, for those true to love will not host greed.

((Haha, let's do this.)) Crispin grasped her fragile arm with his strong one, the auburn ringlets of his hair obstructing the view of his milky grey eyes. He shuddered, bracing himself against the brisk autumnal air. The time progressed to the acme of midnight, and the sky was jet black and cloudless. Sitting on the faded, rusted parkbench with her reminded him of when they had thought of each other with love, and the memory itself was colder than the breeze. He craned his head by hers, bittersweet tears rolling down his porcelain face. "I still... love you," Crispin whispered. "I always have, always will. I regret that night..." He cried, knowing there would always be an untrusting tension between them.

A breath racked the girl's lungs as she took in the autumn air. Her brown hair blew in her face, and she gingerly slipped her fingers through it, removing it from her eyes. She didn't really have any words for him at the moment. Maybe it was just time to move on -now- and forget about this whole thing.
Their relationship had been a let down anyhow. Sometimes, she felt like it was almost too much to be true. He was one of those guys who seemed to go for the best, yet...in this case, he really didn't. Nal was as ordinary as a girl got. She was an artist, loving her work, never faltering in what she was born to do. Crispin was the type to 'go-out-there-and-get-it' at every chance he had.
Well, he had his chance. With her, at least. She looked down at her hands, finding herself gripping the end of her dress she wore for that evening. "I don't think you need to say anymore, Crispin....Haven't you done enough?" Her jade eyes found his silver ones, a pleading ex pression on her face. "Tell me you never regretted being with me...Or was I just a pawn in your life?"
She shifted slightly, wanting to stand. His hand held her fast, his ex pression unwavering. "I need to go..Crispin." She waited for just a moment, listening to the night air through the trees. It was a sad sound. The sound of whispered secrets...

The wind whistled through the muscular elm trees that served as a backdrop for the bench, and the amber waxing moon shone through them. Crispin felt so disconnected from life. His slender fingers tore at his hair manically, seemingly to dig his skull for the right words, and he stared disjointedly at the cobblestone below. He was surprised to hear words stream from his lips, his voice somber. "Wait. Nal..." His eyes once again glanced back into hers. "Do you-- Do you love me? I mean, really?" He asked innocently, combing his long bangs from his eyes. The first drops of rain started to drip down, saturating the cobblestone tenderly. Crispin was grateful for the drizzle, because it disguised his tears.

Nal was so tired. Hadn't they already been through this questionnaire? All of it was such a huge headache...The girl sighed and stood, lifting the hood over her head. "I..I'm not quite sure any more, Crispin. Maybe you should have thought of that before cheating on me...With my best friend."
She started to walk away from him, then suddenly turned. Anger filled her face, annoyance was brimming over the look in her eyes. "Why did you do it, anyway? What could I have possibly done...to make you do this?.." Like it mattered now, but a little clairification would be nice. It might end up as closer for both of them. She stood there, the rain starting to beat down heavier now. Also as heavy as her heart was now..

"Because.... because I am stupid, Nal. I didn't mean to, at first. It was just one kiss, and before I knew it, it became two kisses and then..." He whimpered, guilt clouding his entirety. "It was the most stupid, reckless, arrogant thing I have ever done. I want you back, Nal." By now, he had managed to walk over to her, and enclosed both of her hands in his. "I'm so sorry. I'm not asking you to forget, but... Could you find it in your heart to forgive? I swear, I would never have done it had I known I would hurt you." He babbled on stupidly, trying to say the right words and hold back the wrong ones. He leant his mouth over her left ear, whispering promises. "Even if you don't know if you love me, I know that I love you. And you should know that, too." The faint choking of tears clogged his voice. He once again looked at her, the handsomeness usually embracing his being drained out in sadness. His hands clung to hers desperately, not wanting to let her go.

Nal shook her head at him, backing away slightly. "No! I can't...I can't, Crispin." Her hands ached from him gripping them so tightly. "Let me go, Crispin. Let go! You're hurting me!" She struggled with him, finally being free from his grasp. She took off at a run then.
Thunder clapped loudly, along with the lightening brightening the sky. Nal ran towards her home, the rain beating down hard against her body. She wanted to forgive him, but forgetting it was impossible. If she did forgive him, he'd have to understand that there was no other way for them to work things out. She couldn't live with him then. Be with him. Was the sky pouring down all the tears she could not? Nal felt like she was drowning due to sorrow and a broken heart.

Crispin sat back on the bench, his heart and thoughts weighing him down. "Don't... go..." He said breathlessly to an invisible audience. Why couldn't Nal forgive him? He'd forgive her. People that love each other forgive each other. Wasn't that how it was supposed to be? Crispin's mind seemed to surrender to grief, and began playing clips of when he and Nal used to get along, before he met her friend, Allison, who got a bit too close with him. He suddenly had a flashback, to just a few months before. Unlike the others, this time, Nal wasn't featured in his memory. He was alone, in what seemed to be a small store. Large diamonds shone with dazzling grandeur, protected by a transparent counter-top. Although some of the stones were enormous and expensive, Crispin admired one that was slightly more quaint, with a thin, silver band. That same ring was on Crispin's bedside table, and though he intended to give it to Nal, he never got the chance. He had spent a great portion of the payment he received from his job as a waiter on that ring. Another flashback ran through his mind. The next month was Nal's birthday, and Crispin hosted a small get-together for her and her friends at his house. Given Nal had turned 21 that very day, Crispin, who was a couple of years older, naturally suppied alcoholic beverages. Nal ended up getting sick, so she went to bed, but her friends and Crispin stayed up. He then met Allison, who didn't handle the alcohol quite as badly as Nal, and it all went downhill from there. Crispin felt disgusted with himself, and withdrew his cellphone from his pocket. He immediately texted Nal. I miss you, Nal. I'm so sorry.

Nal made it back to her loft just before the heavens opened upon the earth. Thunder broke the sky with loud cracks, lightening flashed brightly. She sat in front of her vanity, staring in the mirror at herself. Her eyes wondered all over her face, taking note of her blanched skin and wet, plain hair.
A few memories suddenly came through her mind. Most of them really good memories, and they all involved Crispin.
Nal laughed hysterically at the face Crispin was making at her. "Why do you have to do that?! You look so stupid, haha!" She giggled, feeling his hand graze against her cheek. "Because I love seeing you laugh, that's why." He gave her one of his mischevious grins, moving to lay on his side and prop himself up on an elbow.
Nal grinned, twirling a blade of grass between her fingers. They both decided to take a walk in the park and have a picnic. The day was nice, wind was cool, but the sun warm. "Are you excited for my art exhibit tonight? I've worked so hard to finally complete it.." She had a thoughtful look on her face, her eyes half-way closed, staring down at the piece of grass.
Crispin looked over at this girl, entralled by such...patience. She was so...comfortable. Why in God's name was he head-over-heels for her when he knew his life probably wouldn't demand him to stay in a relationship? The answer to that was irrelevant. He could change his habits. Just as long as he had his Nal..."I'm -more- than ready than you are, I'm afraid.." He chuckled softly, tickling the girl's sides. She laughed loudly, pushing him away. He grabbed her then in a daring embrace, catching her lips with his...
Nal blinked repeatedly and swallowed dryly. She shook her head some, trying to forget that day. That one day...was when she was happiest. Tentively rubbing her hands over her face, she sat there, elbows pressing down hard on the top of the vanity. A loud ring sounded throughout Nal's room, and she jumped up quickly. She banged her knee hard against the vanity. "Ow!..Shoot.." She hurried over to her phone, the piercing shrill of the ring almost giving her a headache. Her heart was beating fast and with a clammy hand, Nal reached for the receiver. "..Hello?" She answered softly...
"Hi, Nal...It's me, Allison."
"A..Allison?" She didn't need to play dumb right now. She would not go down as being the one at fault for her and Crispin's relationship ending. "What do you want?"
"Look..I..I know this is hard for you, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry.."
Nal had to keep herself from snorting at that comment. She frowned some, crossing her arm over her stomach. "Yeah, well. Congrats on getting what you want. I'm sure you two will be happy together."
"No, wait, Na-.." Nal hung up. She really didn't have time for such ignorance. Especially from her. This all was just a really huge mistake. Sometimes, Nal wondered if the friends she made here were of any worth to keep. Trust in anyone right now seems like a gem to have. Sighing, the girl ran her fingers through her hair then started to get undressed. A nice hot bath, then bed would be good. Her mind wouldn't leave her alone. She switched on her radio, liking the sounds of the band Red blaring out their lyrics from their single, Shadows.
I can't pretend everything's alright. Please don't let me fall forever. Can you tell me it's over now?...
There's a hate inside of me like some of master! I tried to save you, but I can't find the answer! I'm holding onto you! I'll never let go! I need you with me as I enter the shadows..

((Cool, full. <3)) Crispin groaned, tired after waiting for ten minutes for Nal to respond. He gently slipped his phone into his pocket and rose from his seat, the worn bench groaning from his applied weight as he sprung off of it. Nal still consumed his mind, even an hour after she left him alone. He didn't understand why he loved Nal, actually. She wasn't exactly beautiful, though not particularly hard to look at. He wondered if it was just the prospect of dating he enjoyed. But no, that wasn't it either. If there was anything outstanding about Nal, it was how happy she made him. He was always surprised by how talented and smart she was. Crispin was so used to dating girls who were incredibly gorgeous, ridiculously popular, and so arrogant. Nal wasn't any of those things. She was perfect, because her imperfections made her that way. Allison, in contrast, was so... fake. Sure, she was very attractive, but she wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. She had so little personality that it made her seem robotic. And she had little discrepancy in who she dated, so that she didn't seem like such a catch. Nal was the real catch. True love is when you see that spark in someone. However, Crispin didn't see sparks in Nal- he saw fireworks. Nal could have lit up all of New York on a cloudy night. Without him knowing it, Crispin's body started wandering- no, running- to Nal's house. And in what seemed like a bl ink of the eye, he was just outside her second story window. He picked up a small pebble, and threw it accurately at her bedroom window, attempting to get her attention.
