Hello!
Here we have an RP about the Dalmatians discovering a collection of books that appear to be family fantasy adventure stories. What the Pups do not realise, however, is that the spells within these books are real, and ones which may unknowingly cast if they read it.
I am also going to have a system for whenever a new spell is cast, where I shall make a D20 roll, to determine what the spell is, as well as who it affects, and how strong the spell is.
Players can have two Characters at a time, but if they want to swap one out for another during the RP, be sure to post so in the discussion thread, so we can make note of it.
The Post Order is...
Clayton; Clayton & Pumpkin. Shadow; Shadow & Genesis. Flo; Patch & Priscilla. Shawn; Turner & Lucy. Raine; Raine & Melanie. General; Stirfry & Tom.
Turns may be skipped after Twenty-Four Hours.
So, let us begin this RP.
--------
Inside the Barn of the Dearly Farm, there sat a soggy box. Inside the box, there was a collection of books that looked like that came from the first half of the Twentieth Century. The reason that the box was in such a soggy condition was that they had been laying about the ol' washing machine, that Swamp Rat called his store, for such a long time, that they were already gathering by when the Farm still belonged to Widw Smedley.
The only reason that they sat in the Barn now was cause Swamp Rat threw the box in as part of a "Bundle"" with Lucky, Cadpig, Rolly & Spot, after they had to purchase Dipstick back from him, after having initially traded the pup for some helium tanks. Though, if anything, it seemed more likely an excuse for Swamp Rat to get the box off his paws.
So, the Box sits inside the Dearly Farm Barn, but despite the marshy state of the box, the books inside appeared to be in a very good condition.
The question being: Who is going to be the first to look in this box?

Two Dalmatians slowly crept up to the box. One was plump, with spots in the shape of stars covering his entire body. In place of a collar, this Dalmatian wore a cape-black with a scarlet red interior. The other was Petite, but not too much. Their right ear is white with a black spot, and their left is black with a white spot. One black spot on forehead and one on each cheek. Other Spots cover their chest, belly, and pelvic region. Eyes of turquoise decorated with black mascara on their eyelids. Green collar. Purplish-pinkish paw pads.
"How long did we have these? They've been under our noses the entire time." The mascara Dalmatian pup said. They quickly pawed the books in the old box. "No mold!"
Then it was the star-spotted Dalmatian's turn to speak. "Genesis, whoever owned these books kept them in pristine condition. I do the same with mine. But reading can be fun, since when can books harm us?"
Genesis said, "I say we check them out, but at the same time being on our toes."

Two more Dalmatian pups entered the farm after a long night of getting from London to back to Devon. They both were average-sized with regular spot patterns and wore collars with yellow circle tags. One of them was Patch, a male with a large spot over his right eye, a solid black left ear, and a red collar. The other was Priscilla, a female with long eyelashes, solid black ears, a light blue ribbon tied to a bow on each ear, and a light blue collar. The two were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Patch and Priscilla were tired and wanted to do nothing but go inside the barn and go to sleep. When they reached the barn, though, they saw a couple of other Dalmatians there, looking at something. They both recognized one of them, which was Shadow, but neither of them recognized the other one.
“Hey, Shadow,” Patch said groggily as he and Priscilla entered the barn, and he waved a paw at the other two Dalmatians. “Who is that?”
“Hi, Shadow,” Priscilla said after she let out a small yawn and flopped down by the box. “Hi…uhhh…what’s your name? What are you guys looking at?”

Two more Dalmatians appeared, one Dalmatian was a Female Dalmatian with a left white ear, a right black ear and a series of spots on her back that form into a heart, her name was Lucy, while she saw the pups near the box, there were some pups that she wasn't familiar with, but there were also pups who were new to her, as she's never seen them around before. She went up to the other pups and kindly spoke. "Hello, new friends!" She had a smile on her face, she noticed the box filled with books, of course, this was really new to her as she's never seen books like this either.
one Dalmatian had a left black ear, a right ear with three black spots, a pudgy body, a black left foreleg and a right black hindleg, a right white foreleg and a left white hind leg, He had a Yellow Collar, his name was Turner. He walked up to Shadow. "Hey Shadow, who's your friends?" He asked him.

Two more Dalmatians enter the farm. There was a male normal sized pup who wore a red collar. He had a black right ear and a spotted left ear. He had brown eyes and raindrops for spots. His name was Raine. Alongside him was a female normal sized slightly chubbier but not that much. She had to waves black ears, blue eyes and a magenta coloured collar her name was Melanie.
“ Guys Shadow, Patch, Priscilla nice to see you again.” Raine said
“To the new faces what are your names I’m Raine and this is Melanie.” He said.

(Heads up, Raine; Clayton is not currently present).
As noted, the books were in pristine condition, despite the mouldy and practically melting state of the box.
The Books had some cover art printed on the dust jacket of each and everyone. An oil paint like style, which depicted numerous scenarios featuring the same collection of characters. A Late Teen Boy in Blue with a Knight’s Shield. A Teenage Girl in Red with Glowing hands, a pair of children in school shirts, and their Golden Retriever Dog in a Purple Robe. It was kind of reminiscent of those books about the pair of hard investigation boys, or something.
There are, at least a dozen of these books.
Who shall be the first to read, or shall greetings come before.

Genesis reached into the moldy box, ignoring the smell-if there was a pungent smell and pulled out the book that had the picture of the dog wearing a robe. They opened the book, and examined it thoroughly. Words that they can comprehend. "Hmm... This book has already grasped my interest," Genesis sailed through the book, skimping the pages. "I call dibs on this one!"
Shadow smiled at Turner and Priscilla. "This is Genesis," He gestured to the Dalmatian pup with their face in the book of their choice. "They are into music and performing; music truly soothes one's soul."
Genesis looked up from their book. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Having still enough energy, despite being tired, Patch walked over to the box and looked in it to see that there were books in it. As he looked through the books, he became less tired and rubbed his eyes with his right front leg when he saw one that he believed would catch Priscilla’s interest.
“Wow, look at all these books,” he said, sounding as if he was out of breath. “I know how much Priscilla likes books.”
The one book that Patch had his focus on was the one that had a boy in blue with a knight’s shield.
“I think she’ll be interested in this one the most,” he said as he grabbed the book and took it out of the box, and he looked up to see the pup named Genesis looking through the book that had a dog in a robe. “Hello, Genesis. I’m Patch. Over here is Priscilla, my girlfriend. You’ll have to pardon us for coming in here all tired, but we’ve been up all night getting back here from London. Great choice of book there, by the way.”
Patch then got down from the box with the book he chose and brought it over to Priscilla.
“Look, Priscilla,” he said. “The box is full of books, and I think I found one that you’ll find interesting.”
Tired, Priscilla turned her head to see Patch with the book he chose with a tired smile and her eyes half-open. Before she could react to that book in any way, though, she and Patch heard more Dalmatians come in, two of which they recognized, and two of which they didn’t. The two that they did recognize were Raine and Melanie.
“Hello, Raine and Melanie,” said Patch. “You won’t believe what we’ve all found here.”
“Hi,” Priscilla said as she waved a paw at Raine and Melanie before she let out a huge yawn, smacked her lips a few times, lied her head down, and closed her eyes completely. “Sorry. I’m just tired.”
With Priscilla now resting herself, Patch looked over to see the other two Dalmatians he and his girlfriend never saw before.
“Hello,” he said to them, and he spoke directly to the one wearing the yellow collar. “You know Shadow?”

"My name is Lucy." Lucy said to Raine and Melanie. "Nice to meet you." She always loved making new friends, some were acceptable to her friendly nature, some weren't.
"Pleasure to meet who?" Turner asked Genesis. Then heard Patch ask him a question.
"Yes, I know him." He replied.

Technically, all the books has the entire party of Blue Boy, Red Girl, The School Pair and the Robed Dog. It is that each cover had them in different situations. One had them sliding down a snowy mountain on top of the shield, another had them tumbling down a dark cavern with the Girl seeming to be able to levitate them, another had the humans watching the dog as they worked with an alchemy kit, a fourth had them surrounded by an army of animated knight armour, and a fifth where a School Children was examining an ancient rune with the dog.
There we more than that, of course, but that is to name a few.
Who would also like to take a book?

“Priscilla and I have been friends with Shadow for some time,” Patch said to the pup named Turner. “He showed us something interesting we can do with books. Did he tell you about it?”
Patch then looked over to Raine and Melanie.
“Raine, Melanie, take a look at what’s in this box,” he said as he patted a paw on the box full of books. “There are a lot of books in it, and we have chosen some from it. How about you choose one yourselves, as well?”

Turner shook his head. "No." He replied to Patch. "What can we do with the books, besides eating them?"
While waiting for Raine to say something, Lucy was curious of one thing. "How did you and Melanie meet, Raine?" She asked him.

Melanie took a look at the books. She held a few of them in her paw hands. “ Ooh hard to decide. Any suggestions, any horror books or thrillers?”
Raine looked at Lucy and said to her “I remember her having parent issues at a carnival and before I met her I was one of the world’s biggest pranksters. I would of made fun her issues but I didn’t and I knew something changed in me. So yeah.”
“ What about you what do you do with yourself?” Raine said.
