School House Rumble, Part 1: Arcadia, school of Old

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Rhia should Be captain, and Dean should get vice. Mostly cause I love self promoting.

I would have nominated Xellos, but he's too behind the scenes, and would hate the job. Alexia is too insane.

Natalie would work pretty well, as would Selma, once she gets her head together. She's *way* to emotional as she is now.

....Levi would make a pretty bitchin Captain, come to think of it.

[Inverse Genesis]

"Had I summoned the real Phantasm, it would have ripped you, this arena, and half the crowd behind us apart. What you saw was mearly it's shadow."

"Now, concede, or I shall do more harm to your being."

The blade was almost finished forming, the short blade of the gladius almost reaching it's peak. He just had to keep her talking for one short moment more, and even now, if he turned quickly enough, he might be able to deflect the glaive. However, that wasn't really that point of creating the sword.

Almost.. almost.. there!!

A slow smile creeped across his face, as began channeling the rest of his ki to the back of his neck, hoping that if he released it there, it would slow the blade and allow him time to twist away. Either way, he was either going down from injury or unconsciousness in the next moments, and it would likely be both.

[GrampaGen]

Bloodmoon frowned.

"A curse? That Rune is of the highest, and darkest, magic. Hmm, if I recall my runeology, it appears to be the personal seal of......Solarius!?"


Bloodmoon stepped back, then her eyes narrowed as she steppd foward again, her hands coming up.


"Damnit! So it was Solarius that killed Gregory! And he must have cursed Tamiko too. From the looks of it, it's a complicated affair, set only to go off under the right circumstances."

"Solarius?"

There was that name again, the one she had heard from the two that assaulted Selma.

Walking up to the rune, she looked at it with a frown. She was unfamiliar with this method, there were no circles or seals, except for the one mysterious jagged character.

"Oh no...that would mean Tamiko is tied directly to this essence! Is there some way we can dispell it?"

[Eternal Torment]

Rhia kept frowning. "'Kay. Why not?"

"Because....I don't want you to leave me! I want to stay by your side." Alexia said while on the verge of tears. "It's...It's just not fair! You're the only one I feel close with. Without you, I'll be all alone like before! I don't want that to happen again!"

[FalconX2000]

OOC: I'm going to be out quite soon, too. For the rest of the night, to boot. Well, better hurry.

Clone Alex was lurking in the shadows, waiting for Xellos to come to the meeting spot. It wasn't long before his target had arrived.

"Now...time to vent my rage."

Xellos was almost within range. Just a few more seconds, and he would strike without mercy....

Xellos neared the meeting place. It was isolated, away from prying eyes. The agent wasn't in the open...there, a slight irregularity in the shadow.

He waited for a few seconds for the code question. None came.

Instead of advancing, he started backing off, blasting the figure with icicles as his protective ice armour formed over him.

[Silver Knight]

Nono, that IS impressive as a feat.

Problem is, Kekowa is arrogant, uses thug intimidation tactics, is overly aggresive, not all that smart and, as far as his time in the dorm goes, uninspiring. And these are established things about the character, its not like he can get rid of the traits so easily.

He's got his good points as a character, but aside from honesty they're largely irrelevant to leadership. His never say die attitude is irrelevant to those who don't like him, his bravado comes across as self promotional, and unlike Dean's unjustified levels of ego its not funny.

I don't hate Kekowa, but I pity the fool.

Nah, just messing with ya on that last one.

I don't hate Kekowa, but he's not suitable for leading this kind of group.

OOC: Humm, perhaps your right, I suppose I could lead my squad against the Norn Captain and then hand the reigns over to say Wei, Nat(hey gotta give her something), selma, or even perhaps you. Then go around as a Lone wolf for awhile, be sorta of a cool Aoshi of Vegeta type charecter with a strict moral code. Then Graduly be more of a team man. yeah I like the sound of that. What about you?

Bell couldn't see the blade, but she felt the ki preasure rise. Moving, she pressed down with the blade, the ki preasure resisting her.

OOC: Seconding Levi as captain, he's strong, compassionate, and works well impromptu with others, and knows to keep his mouth shut.

Natalie might be OK but has too much emotional baggage that'll reach a melting point. Vice or second lieutenant perhaps.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Solarius?"

There was that name again, the one she had heard from the two that assaulted Selma.

"Oh no...that would mean Tamiko is tied directly to this essence! Is there some way we can dispell it?"



"Hmm, perhaps. It seems if I try to disarm it, it will go off. However, if we don't do anything, it'll go off when Solarius plannedf or it too. Natalie, step back. I'm going to remove the seal."

[FalconX2000]

What about you?

As I said, Xellos prefers not to take leadership at this point. He'll be adopting the role in the sequel perhaps, but not now.

As for the sounding board on that character path, its up to you, and how much we play ball with you.:p Go ahead and do what you want IC, we'll see how we react.

....Levi would make a pretty bitchin Captain, come to think of it.

OOC: I agree that Levi would make the best captain. Not only does he seem to make something of a good effort to associate himself with the team, he's perhaps the most level-headed person we have so far.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Seconding Levi as captain, he's strong, compassionate, and works well impromptu with others, and knows to keep his mouth shut.

OOC: Dang I give LEvi a nod for vice and now he's edging me out for Captain. Guess that kinda backfired.:p

[GrampaGen]

"Hmm, perhaps. It seems if I try to disarm it, it will go off. However, if we don't do anything, it'll go off when Solarius plannedf or it too. Natalie, step back. I'm going to remove the seal."

Natalie was hesitant to resign, but obeyed. This was something she was relatively new at. So instead, she raised her hand and projected a field of energy.

"If anything escapes, I'll try to catch it," she nodded.

Then quieted, eyes at the ready.

[FalconX2000]

OOC: Alright, the dorm will have some sort of meeting after the round, then do the rigged vote?:D

[Inverse Genesis]

Bell couldn't see the blade, but she felt the ki preasure rise. Moving, she pressed down with the blade, the ki preasure resisting her.

Feeling the pressure of the blade increase upon his neck, only held by his ki, Ilias' muscles coiled likes springs, and then released all at once, spinning him around while also wrenching the nodachi from its place in the ground. As a result, the motion results in a swift swing of the blade, while also allowing Ilias the brief moment he needed to deflect the glaive's blade to the right of his neck as he spun.

As he spun, the last thing Ilias saw was the blur of his last, desperate swing of his nodachi hissed through the air.

[KamenRaida]

OOC: Alright, the dorm will have some sort of meeting after the round, then do the rigged vote?:D

OOC: Which round exactly? This one or the one against Norn?

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Dang I give LEvi a nod for vice and now he's edging me out for Captain. Guess that kinda backfired.:p

OOC: *shrug* Everyone likes him. Plus, on Natalie's part, he trained her in Tai Chi :D

[The Dog]

Selma raised her eyebrows in surprise as she saw Natalie flash past her, confused by the look. After a few moments, she sighed and walked over to an elevator, intent on going to bed. But in her state, she ended up pushing a button that seemed to be hers.

However, it turned out to be the button for the 21st floor.

Looking to the door, she didn't watch the various floors flash upon the screen above her, and didn't see as she passed her floor and kept going. All that happened was she sensed that the elevator ride was taking longer than normal.

When the doors finally opened, she stepped out, scratching her head as she looked around the floor in confusion.

'This most definitely isn't my floor... Where the Hell am I?' Selma thought, turning around to go to her floor. But she stopped, curiousity hitting her. She began walking around, studying her new surroundings, and looking at the only door the floor held.

Finally leaning against the door, she sighed and said "I guess I should just go back to my room..."

OOC: In case this post got lost 12 or so pages back.

Just in case.

Natalie was hesitant to resign, but obeyed. This was something she was relatively new at. So instead, she raised her hand and projected a field of energy.

"If anything escapes, I'll try to catch it," she nodded.

Then quieted, eyes at the ready.

Bloodmoon nodded, then she placed her hands on the coffin.

With a burst of psychic energy, the seal disappeared, and the coffin lid flew off.

There, inside, was Tamiko.


Or, something that looked like Tamiko.

Her hair was black, her face pale, and her dress was ragged. In her hand was her spear.

Her eyes snapped open, and they were blood red.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Alright, the dorm will have some sort of meeting after the round, then do the rigged vote?:D

OOC:Ahahaha. Indeed.

Xellos: The winner is...Levi!

Keko: What?! Bullshit! I demand a recount! I won the popular vote!

Xellos: The electoral is what matters here, sport.



BURN.

OOC: In case this post got lost 12 or so pages back.

OOC: Odd. I thought that incident was concluded, I mean all Natalie did was go to bed.

[Ghost]

"Because....I don't want you to leave me! I want to stay by your side." Alexia said while on the verge of tears. "It's...It's just not fair! You're the only one I feel close with. Without you, I'll be all alone like before! I don't want that to happen again!"

Rhia stared at her. "Lex are you... Are you're..." A smile crossed her lips and she pulled Alexia into a tight hug. "You're adorable, you know that? You silly girl, you!"

Letting go, she smiled and looked straight into Alexia's eyes. "Lex, I love you, okay? You've become like a sister to me. Nothing is ever going to change that. I... I don't know yet what my feelings for Henry are, but whatever happens between him and me, I'll never leave you."

OOC: Is it bad, I expect to see some making out?

hehe very funny. Well maybe after the Tourny Cleric could send me on a quest like he did with Dean and I hunt monsters or something, who knows.

OOC: Alright, the dorm will have some sort of meeting after the round, then do the rigged vote?:D

OOC: Thats cool. thats what I wanted anyway, that way Kekowa can talk to everybody.

[GrampaGen]

Bloodmoon nodded, then she placed her hands on the coffin.

Or, something that looked like Tamiko.

Her hair was black, her face pale, and her dress was ragged. In her hand was her spear.

Her eyes snapped open, and they were blood red.

Natalie stood unblinking at the strange figure before them. This flew against what she had learned about the mindscape from her sisters. Besides,s he had already learned in this very plane that appearances could be deceiving, and she shook her head.

"...this isn't right! The presence is all wrong; even in cases of possession the host's energy shouldn't be corrupted this far!"

She eyed Bloodmoon in front of her, waiting for some signal for what to do.

[FalconX2000]

OOC: Odd. I thought that incident was concluded, I mean all Natalie did was go to bed.

OOC: Xellos just grew ice wings and flew onto her balcony. If Nat is going to sleep, mind typing a scene out? Whatever it is, I'll carry on when I get back.

OOC: Odd. I thought that incident was concluded, I mean all Natalie did was go to bed.

OOC: Natalie will be happy to buy you a round in the executive suite once the inevitable backlash occurs :D

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Xellos just grew ice wings and flew onto her balcony. If Nat is going to sleep, mind typing a scene out? Whatever it is, I'll carry on when I get back.

As a result, the motion results in a swift swing of the blade, while also allowing Ilias the brief moment he needed to deflect the glaive's blade to the right of his neck as he spun.

As he spun, the last thing Ilias saw was the blur of his last, desperate swing of his nodachi hissed through the air.



The ploy worked.

The nodachi curved and bit into Bell, burying into her chest after cutting off her left arm.


Blood poured from the two wounds, but Bell made no sound. She looked at Iilas, then her eyes flashed blue as he was flung away by a massive Tk burst from Bell. This blew him away, leaving his nodachi buried in her chest.

With her one arm, she left go of her glaive (which floated in mid-air) and pulled the nodachi from her side. She looked at it, then threw it out of the arena. Looking over at Iilas's sprawled out form, her eyes flashed again, picking him up with her TK.

As she held him up, he beheld the blood stop flowing from both wounds. He then saw flesh burst from the wounds and begin to regenerate. In seconds, her side was healed and her arm was restored.

"Well played. You are worthy of the title of the strongest from Sun Dorm. However, you have lost."


"Begone."

With that, she TK blasted Iilas out of the arena and through one of the stadium walls. She then held him there while he was ten counted out.

"Bell of Norn as won! That means Norn will face Dragon in the Finals!"


Bell, without so much as a smile, grabbed her glaive and left the arena, her blood still decorating the floor.


OT: Excellently played, IG. You RP very, very well.:)

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Ya know MH I have a sneaking suspicion you wnat to be my next rival. am I wrong? Also whats with the Keko all of a sudden, its not that long of a name.

OOC: I've been calling him Keko since day one. It's standard procudre for me now. I dont know why.

Also, sure, Dean needs more rivals. It lets him know hes doing something right.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Hey, Kamen, were we near the arena?

I cant see Dean, even when zoned out, not finding his buddy Ilias getting owned, a bit unsetteling.

[KamenRaida]

OOC: Hey, Cleric, just to skip forward into the future just a little, we're going to need a reply from Doctor Bloodmoon about the aftermath of Xing's and Dean's Spar.

OOC: I was going to ask how the hell that works, but honestly, it's no crazier than anything else, I suppose.

Organic ice, not normal ice. The amount he can generate is much more limited, but its flexible, unlike real ice.

Think Hitsugaya. It doesn't have to make sense, it just needs to look cool.

She eyed Bloodmoon in front of her, waiting for some signal for what to do.

The dark Tamiko rose from the coffin. Her form and movements seemed wrong, twisted somehow.

She looked at Bloodmoon, and a cruel smile splayed across her face.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Thank you for understanding, Maria." Yong said, incredibly grateful as he followed the others to Dr. Bloodmoon.



"Well, it would appear that Xing here got into a sparring match with Dean. Don't worry, though the physical injuries here were caused by the young chap, the greater cause of concern was in no way the boy's fault. After the match, Xing began to convulse for no apparent reason. I cannot find anything wrong with the boy's body per se. But that he should collapse for now reason is very worrying."



OOC: Well, don't worry, Xing WILL have a very good reason to do so. In fact, Dean'd probably have to punch him dead if Xing's dumb enough to continue accepting the 'Healer's' help.

As for the sword, I'm just going to say I'm too stupid to understand the logic surrounding it and leave it at that.

Anyway, I'm tired and I think I need to take a long nap. See you guys in 8 hours or so. =.=

Ruman pursed her lips as she healed the wounds.

"Interesting. Xing's DNA seems.....off, somehow. Xing, can you hear me? How do you feel?"

[Silver Knight]

Buddha! Kekowa was amazed. He knew Bell was holding back her true nature, but he never knew what her rage could do. I defintly need the savage twins, one if not both, to beat her, Also peter his magic would be most helpful. I would like Daichi, but no he had to get sucked into another dimension. Selma too shes a great mage. So I got one or both of the Savages, Peter hopefully, he tends to be flaky, Selma, And myself, all I need to do is ask.

He headed back to the hotel. When he got in he noticed several of his comrades in the Lobby He sat down next to the fireplace and sat waiting untill more arrived.

[Silver Knight]

I still like Kekbozo!:D Xellos called him that once, recently. Cookie if you can find it.

OOC: Wasnt it after I confronted Sirus? Oh and its funny how you never said that to his face.

OOC: Cookie for you. Its laced with cyani...almonds.

"Another small glimpse of the Norn dorm..." Levi had hoped for something more, but for now, it would do. Glancing over, he saw that Monk Shu was gone.

[Inverse Genesis]

The ploy worked.

Ilias floated in a dream--or at least, thought it was. Through glazed eyes and numb body, he felt himself skidding along the ground, and then a sense of weightlessnes. Ilias beheled, with no emotion penetrating the fog that clouded his mind, the rapid regeneration of the wound he had caused.. what was her name? He could not remember through the haze.. no, it was Bell. That was her name.

Ilias watched as Bell mouthed some words, though he could not be bothered to attempt to read her lips, and then had the vague sense of rushing through the air, and then impact, and though he felt no pain now, he knew it must be excruciating.

Then, Ilias Lament's hold on consciousness faded, and he slipped into a deep slumber.

Life was just full of surprises for Dean today. The incident with Xing had put Dean in low spirits, and arrving to the arena just in time to see Illias get manhandled, didnt help at all. The fact he didnt even know Illias was even in the tournament until now, didnt help much either.

Ilias? I should have expected he would wind up here as well....

Sure, they hadnt spoken since Dean left for Arcadia, but they were still friends, damnit. And friends dont like seeing friends get crushed. Unless it was Dean doing the crushing, anyways.

Nonetheless, Deans already low spirt, hit rock bottom. Especially upon seeing the manner of his defeat.

To think he could be defeated so handily, even when going all out....She barely seemed to be trying....How are we supposed to handle a girl like that?

A medic on Sun's side stpped forward and took Iilas to the Medical ward, where other fighters were healing aswell.

OOC: Nah thats okay. I was kinda typing in a tired funk myself :)

OOC: Xellos just grew ice wings and flew onto her balcony. If Nat is going to sleep, mind typing a scene out? Whatever it is, I'll carry on when I get back.

Well it won't be much but here goes.

IC:
Natalie clambered to the elevator in a rush. Emotions spiraled out of control inside of her and combined with the fatigue left her feeling absolutely pained and hollow. When the door shut as the elevator raised up, she tried to relax, cut off from the rest of the world. Instead, she grew short of breath, as if in the middle of a cry, but no tears came, just the rattled feelings that wouldn't find a way out.

Her head spun, an odd taste in her mouth. She leaned back on the elevator wall and pulled back her sopping hair. Slowly regaining herself, she rubebd her eyes and started to mutter.

"Why does everything have to be so-,"

And with a chime, the elevator had reached her floor, the marble columns and stone garden with the fountains of koi fish just seemed to accentuate how much she didn't belong here. Shackleford stepped forward, eyes narrowed and nose in the air as usual.

"Ah, Madam has arrived."

Unable to speak, she nodded to him, bent low, and hurried inside and shut the door.

However, she gave pause, opened the door and took the ready tea tray the butler had at the ready.

"Danke."

Immediately she just sat on the bed, a single person dwarfed by a world of luxury. Why? She wouldn't be able to use all of it, some things not at all. Placing the tea tray beside her, she lay on her side above the cover and watched the steam rise from the spout.

Minutes, maybe hours passed, the vapours spiralling, expanding, the finally dying. It was almost hypnotic. When the tea fell chill, she had fallen asleep.

[Tami]

Bloodmoon nodded, then she placed her hands on the coffin.

With a burst of psychic energy, the seal disappeared, and the coffin lid flew off.

There, inside, was Tamiko.


Or, something that looked like Tamiko.

Her hair was black, her face pale, and her dress was ragged. In her hand was her spear.

Her eyes snapped open, and they were blood red.

Natalie stood unblinking at the strange figure before them. This flew against what she had learned about the mindscape from her sisters. Besides,s he had already learned in this very plane that appearances could be deceiving, and she shook her head.

"...this isn't right! The presence is all wrong; even in cases of possession the host's energy shouldn't be corrupted this far!"

She eyed Bloodmoon in front of her, waiting for some signal for what to do.

Slowly assuming a sitting position, this Tamiko turned her head towards the two. Levitating out of the coffin, floating mere inches from the floor, she turned to face them. Holding her spear next to her, she spoke without emotion, "You are Dragons, all Dragons must die."

[GrampaGen]

The dark Tamiko rose from the coffin. Her form and movements seemed wrong, twisted somehow.

She looked at Bloodmoon, and a cruel smile splayed across her face.

Natalie shrunk behind the instructor, waiting for a signal, but Bloodmoon's eyes only seemed deadlocked in the face of this false Tamiko. Unable to contain herself, the witch shouted at her.

"Where is she?! Tell us now!"

[Eternal Torment]

Xellos neared the meeting place. It was isolated, away from prying eyes. The agent wasn't in the open...there, a slight irregularity in the shadow.

He waited for a few seconds for the code question. None came.

Instead of advancing, he started backing off, blasting the figure with icicles as his protective ice armour formed over him.

"Ohhh....TOO BAD!"

Clone Alex dodged the icicles easily, rushing forward with a barrage of punches aimed at Xellos' vitals.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Slowly assuming a sitting position, this Tamiko turned her head towards the two. Levitating out of the coffin, floating mere inches from the floor, she turned to face them. Holding her spear next to her, she spoke without emotion, "You are Dragons, all Dragons must die."

Bloodmoon cursed, then, with a psychic shove, sent Natalie's presence hurdling back into her body.


Now, without Natalie there to get in the way, Bloodmoon turned to Tamiko and a slow smile filled her face.


"Solarius, I'll make you regret this."


Bloodmoon then unleashed her aura.


"Come at me, Curse, and show me the power Solarius gave you."

[The Dog]

Minutes, maybe hours passed, the vapours spiralling, expanding, the finally dying. It was almost hypnotic. When the tea fell chill, she had fallen asleep.

OOC: Don't worry, I think I can work with this.

IC: Looking up, she finally seemed to notice the butler standing outside the door to the room. Curiousity filling her, she walked up to him and asked "Excuse me sir, but could you possibly tell me the person staying in this room?"

[Tami]

OT: My connection is painfully slow tonight, sorry for the delayed responses.

Natalie shrunk behind the instructor, waiting for a signal, but Bloodmoon's eyes only seemed deadlocked in the face of this false Tamiko. Unable to contain herself, the witch shouted at her.

"Where is she?! Tell us now!"

IC: "All Dragons must die. That is my Master's will." Dark Tamiko replies, then points her spear at Natalie.

[Eternal Torment]

Rhia stared at her. "Lex are you... Are you're..." A smile crossed her lips and she pulled Alexia into a tight hug. "You're adorable, you know that? You silly girl, you!"

Letting go, she smiled and looked straight into Alexia's eyes. "Lex, I love you, okay? You've become like a sister to me. Nothing is ever going to change that. I... I don't know yet what my feelings for Henry are, but whatever happens between him and me, I'll never leave you."

Alexia knew that Rhia was right. "I can't argue with that. You always know what to say, don't you? Since you've convinced me, I'll accept this and leave him be." She throught for a moment. "But I want a gift from you. Maybe you could give me a little kiss....please?"

OOC: Well, that was strange.

[Ghost]

Alexia knew that Rhia was right. "I can't argue with that. You always know what to say, don't you? Since you've convinced me, I'll accept this and leave him be." She throught for a moment. "But I want a gift from you. Maybe you could give me a little kiss....please?"

Rhia smiled wryly. "A kiss? You mean, like a real kiss?"

OOC: Well, that was strange.

OOC: Never understimate Rhia's ability to consider love something inherently positive. ;)
EDIT: Besides, I don't think she quite understands exactly how Alexia feels for her yet.

[GrampaGen]

Bloodmoon cursed, then, with a psychic shove, sent Natalie's presence hurdling back into her body.

Now, without Natalie there to get in the way, Bloodmoon turned to Tamiko and a slow smile filled her face.

"Solarius, I'll make you regret this."

Bloodmoon then unleashed her aura.

"Come at me, Curse, and show me the power Solarius gave you."

Assuming Bloodmoon was turning to give an order, Natalie was caught quite unawares at this and everything in her view fell a dead black. When she opened her eyes, she was standing, hands still clutching Tamiko's face back in the medical ward.

"...no...," she weakly spoke. She wanted to get back in, but was overly worn by the unexpected force Bloodmoon unleashed on her, especially considering she was already projecting magical energies. She slumped onto the foot of Justin's bed and watched the determined instructor and her ailing friend, only wondering what could be going on in the mindscape.

OOC: Don't worry, I think I can work with this.

IC: Looking up, she finally seemed to notice the butler standing outside the door to the room. Curiousity filling her, she walked up to him and asked "Excuse me sir, but could you possibly tell me the person staying in this room?"

Shackleford turned and raised an eyebrow.

"I am aware there are a great deal of magical, martial, et cetera, warriors of a variety of sorts. Do pardon me, but I am not at liberty to say, but for the sure wishes of our dear attendee."

He scrunched his nostrils as he pompously bowed at Selma.

"Any further inquiries, hmm?" he asked, his tone suggesting that she should leave.

[kain5252]

So hows the thing with Tamiko going?

[Eternal Torment]

Rhia smiled wryly. "A kiss? You mean, like a real kiss?"

Alexia's face started to hover closer to Rhia's. "If you want it to be...."

OOC: This is starting to read like a bad fanfic. Just french her already, dammit! :p

[Tami]

Bloodmoon cursed, then, with a psychic shove, sent Natalie's presence hurdling back into her body.


Now, without Natalie there to get in the way, Bloodmoon turned to Tamiko and a slow smile filled her face.


"Solarius, I'll make you regret this."


Bloodmoon then unleashed her aura.


"Come at me, Curse, and show me the power Solarius gave you."

Dark Tamiko turned towards Bloodmoon, her hair flying around her face widly. "You will be the first to die." She then flew at Bloodmoon, thrusting her spear into Bloodmoon's heart.

[GrampaGen]

So hows the thing with Tamiko going?

OOC: Infected by Solarius, the power of which is so great, Bloodmoon punted Natalie out of her mind

[Ghost]

Alexia's face started to hover closer to Rhia's. "If you want it to be...."

OOC: This is starting to read like a bad fanfic. Just french her already, dammit! :p

Taking that as a yes, Rhia stroked Alexia's cheek. Then she leaned in a kissed her gently on the lips.

When they parted again, she giggled. "That was the first time I ever kissed a girl," she admited. Then she got a thoughtful look on her face. "Actually, come to think of it, that was probably my first real kiss period."

[Kevin M.]

What's going on with Tomiko?

[Miburohunter929]

What's going on with Tomiko?

OOC: So, Did Ilias make the cut for the World Tourney, despite getting totally owned by Bell?

More importantly, Anyone think Dean has a good chance of getting her number?

[kain5252]

OOC: Infected by Solarius, the power of which is so great, Bloodmoon punted Natalie out of her mind

Wow, that bad? oO

[Kevin M.]

OOC: So, Did Ilias make the cut for the World Tourney, despite getting totally owned by Bell?

More importantly, Anyone think Dean has a good chance of getting her number?


OOC: Kelly is going to talk to him...and what is up with Tomiko?

[The Dog]

Shackleford turned and raised an eyebrow.

"I am aware there are a great deal of magical, martial, et cetera, warriors of a variety of sorts. Do pardon me, but I am not at liberty to say, but for the sure wishes of our dear attendee."

He scrunched his nostrils as he pompously bowed at Selma.

"Any further inquiries, hmm?" he asked, his tone suggesting that she should leave.

A voice filled Selma's head again, this one being older and more feminine than the last two that had done so.

Please excuse this rude creature. The person who is staying in this room is a friend of yours, one miss Natalie Schroeder. the voice 'said', the tone so calm and caring that Selma could practically see a woman's face smiling gently in her mind's eye.

'Na-Natalie?' Selma asked, eyes widening. She then felt her heart fall from her chest as she thought 'I-if Natalie could afford something like this, then... Then what would she want with me?'

Not seeming to notice the tone Shackleford took with her, she gave an automatic "Thank you." before walking to the elevator to leave.

Frowning at the scene from the corner she was hidden within, Charlotte sighed as she thought 'Oh dear, I think I've made things worse here...' She looked to Selma and thought 'I do apologize for inadvertantly harming you, Selma. Please forgive me...'

With that, she disappeared from the floor in search of someone to talk to.

[KamenRaida]

It was a strange, what Xing was experiencing right now. A moment ago his body felt like it was about burst open from the inside. Now, he felt strangely at peace. Like nothing could harm him. Xing didn't really know why. He couldn't really see anything at the moment. Then it occured to him that maybe if he just opened his eyes a little, he'd be able to see a little bit more.

Xing now knew why he felt so comfortable. He was resting on someone's lap, it appeared. Though Xing really couldn't get a clear view, he knew full well who was comforting him at the moment.

"Hello... Brother."

"Xing... It seems as if the time of our separation has not come yet..."

"Yeh..... Where....?"

"You were rendered unconcious by the inconsistencies within your genetic structure. Remember what I told you when we last saw each other?"

"Yes..."

The spirit leaned over to Xing's ear and whispered to the boy he had watched over for so long, "Xing, we weren't born through natural means into this world. And because of that, perhaps nature wants to see us dead. That's why our lives were meant to be short. But I wanted you to live. So I did the only practical thing I thought there was."

"I fixed your DNA using my own... and from the way it looked, it seemed as if it was going to work. But... recently, your DNA... it's detiriorating... My... What I tried to prevent, I failed... I'm sorry Xing... I don't know when... but you're going to die. I'm so sorry."

"But just a few moments ago, I felt fine.... Better than fine even. I felt more powerful than I ever had.... Then... I don't know, I think it was after me and Dean left Sabin Shi Fu, I felt a little bit tired, but, it wasn't as if I was going to die any second... Then..."

"It was that man."

"What?"

"You remember, surely."

"You mean the one that told me he'd correct my DNA?"

"Yes."

"Right, we have to go see him again. I can't afford to be a burden right now. Not when---"

"Don't. That man is up to no good."

"What!?"

"When he 'healed' you... I felt it too. I felt as if some invincible power had its hold of us.... Unfortunately, I was right. Something had us under it's control... I don't know what, but I knew it was there. Xing, that man's doing something to us. Don't try to find him again. And if he comes to you, don't even try to confront him. He's----"

"Brother, I'm sorry but I can't agree with you here. I... I don't want to die.... And this man... Whoever he is, he's giving me another chance at life. Listen, if it'll make you feel any better, I'll ask about his intentions the next time we see each other."

"Xing, don't----"

Ruman pursed her lips as she healed the wounds.

"Interesting. Xing's DNA seems.....off, somehow. Xing, can you hear me? How do you feel?"

His brother's last warning was cut short as Xing's eyes flew open, sitting up as he looked around.

"What....?" Then he remembered what happened and laughing rather awkwardly said, "I guess I should've slept last night."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Dark Tamiko turned towards Bloodmoon, her hair flying around her face widly. "You will be the first to die." She then flew at Bloodmoon, thrusting her spear into Bloodmoon's heart.

Bloodmoon caught the spear, and heaved, throwing Tamiko, who was holding the spear, away. She then dispersed the psychic spear with a thought and turned to face tje infected student.

[Silver Knight]

Taking that as a yes, Rhia stroked Alexia's cheek. Then she leaned in a kissed her gently on the lips.

When they parted again, she giggled. "That was the first time I ever kissed a girl," she admited. Then she got a thoughtful look on her face. "Actually, come to think of it, that was probably my first real kiss period."

OOC: Holy Crap:eek:

[Miburohunter929]

Taking that as a yes, Rhia stroked Alexia's cheek. Then she leaned in a kissed her gently on the lips.

When they parted again, she giggled. "That was the first time I ever kissed a girl," she admited. Then she got a thoughtful look on her face. "Actually, come to think of it, that was probably my first real kiss period."

OOC: Just then, Kiran had the misforutune of walking in on them. He couldnt believe his eyes. Not only was his daughter a lesbian (Which wouldnt be so bad, if it was someone elses daughter. Infact, he would have pulled out his cameraphone) not only did he have the misfortune of seeing her making out, but now their line would become extinct. Okay, not really, but still. Kiran was always one for dramatics.

Kiran: NO!!!!! WHERE DID I GO WRONG?!? WAS IT THE PAMPERING?!? IT WAS THE PAMPERING, WASNT IT?!?! GOD DAMNIT, I TOLD YOUR MOTHER! WAIT, IT WAS THE FIGHTING, WASNT IT! GOD DAMNIT, I TOLD YOUR MOTHER! *Jumps out window*

*Teleports back in*

Kiran: Nah, whatever kids, I'll come back when you're done.

Not my best work, but damnit, I find it funny.

[Eternal Torment]

Taking that as a yes, Rhia stroked Alexia's cheek. Then she leaned in a kissed her gently on the lips.

When they parted again, she giggled. "That was the first time I ever kissed a girl," she admited. Then she got a thoughtful look on her face. "Actually, come to think of it, that was probably my first real kiss period."

OOC: Good enough. *gives Ghost a chocolate chip cookie*

Alexia gave Rhia a sly smile. "That was pretty good. And I even got your first kiss, which makes it even sweeter."

She caressed Rhia's face with her right hand. "Maybe we could do this again later...."

[Kevin M.]

"Bloodmoon report" Kelly yelled into his stone. His request was greeted with nothing.

Kelly put the stone away as an angry scowl formed on his face. "Gentlemen" Kelly said as he turned towards his fellow comrades. "It seems that something is amiss, and I require your unique talents" he said.

The group smiled as they heard this.

"What do we need to do?" Wilks asked with a sinister grin.

"Your going to partrol the arena" he said as he walked towards the Sun dorm. "Make sure that this place dose not all to hell"

Kelly made his way towards the medical ward in search of Bloodmoon.

[GrampaGen]

Wow, that bad? oO

OOC: Why not bring it back to character :D

IC:

Natalie slumped at the foot of Justin's bed watching Tamiko undergo further procedures. She turned to him, and shook her head, sadly.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: HEy where could Kekowa go to do some good. He's just kicking it toill yall come back but I since some events are happening past tense I could sya earlier he came upon... Or jsut say he happened to go out and see...

[kain5252]

OOC: Why not bring it back to character :D

IC:

Natalie slumped at the foot of Justin's bed watching Tamiko undergo further procedures. She turned to him, and shook her head, sadly.

"What the hell happened in there?" Justin asked as he got up. Concerned by Natalie's expression.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: HEy where could Kekowa go to do some good. He's just kicking it toill yall come back but I since some events are happening past tense I could sya earlier he came upon... Or jsut say he happened to go out and see...

OOC: He could try to talk to Selma maybe

[Ghost]

OOC: Holy Crap:eek:

OOC: We're guys RP:ing as girls. Stuff like this happens.

That, and I'm currently listening to a lot of Disney movie love songs so I'm really agreeable to mushy stuff right now.

OOC: Just then, Kiran had the misforutune of walking in on them. He couldnt believe his eyes. Not only was his daughter a lesbian (Which wouldnt be so bad, if it was someone elses daughter. Infact, he would have pulled out his cameraphone) not only did he have the misfortune of seeing her making out, but now their line would become extinct. Okay, not really, but still.

Kiran: Nah, whatever kids, I'll come back when you're done.

Not my best work, but damnit, I find it funny.

Worst part is, that's probably pretty much how Kiran would react. :p

OOC: Good enough. *gives Ghost a chocolate chip cookie*

:3

Alexia gave Rhia a sly smile. "That was pretty good. And I even got your first kiss, which makes it even sweeter."

She caressed Rhia's face with her right hand. "Maybe we could do this again later...."

Rhia laughed. "Maybe. But for now, let's not get carried away, okay." ^_~

She sighed and smiled. "You know what? Suddenly this whole date thing doesn't feel like such a big deal anymore. I don't understand why I got so worked up about it, really. I don't know what might come out of it, but finding out is kind of the point, right?" She chuckled. "Plus, Henry's been nice to me. I'd say he deserves a chance, at least."

She looked at Alexia. "Thank you, Lex. You've really helped me put things in perspective."

[GrampaGen]

"What the hell happened in there?" Justin asked as he got up. Concerned by Natalie's expression.

Natalie removed her hat before she continued.

"It's not good, ja? Her emotions have frozen, the soul blank. Everything, but for a dark rune circle stamped onto her consciousness, of one named "Solarius"."

She gripped her hands together.

"It's a dark magic I am not sure even Lehrer Bloodmoon can dispell," she added looking worriedly at her and Tamiko's two blank-faced bodies.

[Kevin M.]

Where are you guys?

[Tami]

Bloodmoon caught the spear, and heaved, throwing Tamiko, who was holding the spear, away. She then dispersed the psychic spear with a thought and turned to face tje infected student.

With little effort, Dark Tamiko regained her footing. She then placed her hands together and summoned a large sword, a claymore sword with the engraving of a serpent attacking a dragon engraved on it's blade. Holding the sword high, she leaped up into the air, higher than Bloodmoon's reach, then came back down quickly. As she desended, the sword was expertly aimed at Bloodmoon's neck.

She gripped her hands together.

"It's a dark magic I am not sure even Lehrer Bloodmoon can dispell," she added looking worriedly at her and Tamiko's two blank-faced bodies.

Justin was quiet for a moment. "Isnt there anything we can do to help them? I refuse to believe we cant help Tamiko".

[GrampaGen]

Where are you guys?

Natalie, Tamiko, Justin, Bloodmoon = Medical ward

Rhia, Alexia, Henry = Executive box seats

Xellos, Alex clone = fighting in a corner of the arena

I'm not sure were everyone else is. We did a quick future-con a while back for the sake of romance plots, and thats getting somewhat outta hand :o but to keep everything in the present, thats where everyone is post-norn fight.

[Eternal Torment]

OOC: We're guys RP:ing as girls. Stuff like this happens.

She looked at Alexia. "Thank you, Lex. You've really helped me put things in perspective."

OOC: When it comes to writing, I'm not horrendously bad. The exception to that is love scenes. I don't know if I've ever written a good one before.

"No problem. After all, that's what I'm here for. To help you."

Alexia felt much better now. Her thoughts were starting to shift towards Rhia.

"....and later, maybe we can go a little bit farther. What do you say to that?"

[Miburohunter929]

Where are you guys?

OOC: Who?

*Char-Dance*

[Eternal Torment]

Natalie, Tamiko, Justin, Bloodmoon = Medical ward

Rhia, Alexia, Henry = Executive box seats

Xellos, Alex clone = fighting in a corner of the arena

I'm not sure were everyone else is. We did a quick future-con a while back for the sake of romance plots, and thats getting somewhat outta hand :o but to keep everything in the present, thats where everyone is post-norn fight.

Actually. Clone Alex and Xellos are fighting in some dark street a good distance away from the arena. Or that's the impression I got from Falcon's post.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Christ, I didnt know Alexia was so damn horney.

Well, I'm not gonna hate.

[Kevin M.]

OOC: Who?

*Char-Dance*


Bloodmoon, and everyone.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

With little effort, Dark Tamiko regained her footing. She then placed her hands together and summoned a large sword, a claymore sword with the engraving of a serpent attacking a dragon engraved on it's blade. Holding the sword high, she leaped up into the air, higher than Bloodmoon's reach, then came back down quickly. As she desended, the sword was expertly aimed at Bloodmoon's neck.

Bloodmoon formed her own blade, and parried the blow. Twisting, she flicked the blade and scored a hit across Tamiko's check.

[GrampaGen]

Justin was quiet for a moment. "Isnt there anything we can do to help them? I refuse to believe we cant help Tamiko".

She nodded, then shook her head again.

"It was a sigil I've never seen before. The way Bloodmoon spoke, it was if it belonged to somebody who had taken an interest in her soul."

Pondering, she then askedn "Justin, did Tamiko ever talk about somebody named Gregory?"

[Eternal Torment]

OOC: Christ, I didnt know Alexia was so damn horny.

Well, I'm not gonna hate.

OOC: I'm thinking that a guest viewing this thread might get ideas and invoke Rule 34. Rhialexia FTW!

[kain5252]

She nodded, then shook her head again.

"It was a sigil I've never seen before. The way Bloodmoon spoke, it was if it belonged to somebody who had taken an interest in her soul."

Pondering, she then askedn "Justin, did Tamiko ever talk about somebody named Gregory?"

"No, I dont think she ever has told me about someone named Gregory. Why, do you know who he is? Is he the one who did this?" Justin asked.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: I'm thinking that a guest viewing this thread might get ideas and invoke Rule 34. Rhialexia FTW!

OOC: In my mind, I see Alexia and Rhia fighting cause Alexia isnt the type to take no for an answer :P

[GrampaGen]

Actually. Clone Alex and Xellos are fighting in some dark street a good distance away from the arena. Or that's the impression I got from Falcon's post.

OOC: Ah I see. Guess we'll find out when he gets back.

OOC: Well Post Norn fight I was heading out of the arena to go to the Hotel. Although if Xellos and Clone Alex are fighting near the Arena I could hear something, go over and check it out, maybe join in. Would that be cool, ET?

OOC: Oh, were you waiting for me?

[Eternal Torment]

OOC: Well Post Norn fight I was heading out of the arena to go to the Hotel. Although if Xellos and Clone Alex are fighting near the Arena I could hear something, go over and check it out, maybe join in. Would that be cool, ET?

OOC: Well, that scene is supposed to be a characterization moment for Xellos. I'm not sure how we'd be able to fit you in.

[GrampaGen]

"No, I dont think she ever has told me about someone named Gregory. Why, do you know who he is? Is he the one who did this?" Justin asked.

"No, Gregory is dead; Lehrer Bloodmoon mentioned that name. But the one who did this is something, or someone, named Solarius," she replied.

"I am not sure who this is, but the very name struck fear into her, even somebody of that Bloodmoon's level of power. But I don't think we can do anything, which I guess is why she sent me back here."

She sighed and slumped forward.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Well Post Norn fight I was heading out of the arena to go to the Hotel. Although if Xellos and Clone Alex are fighting near the Arena I could hear something, go over and check it out, maybe join in. Would that be cool, ET?

Well if you're going back into the 30-minutes-later time, go talk to Selma.

When you were off, SK, I wrote a minor characterization between the two after Selma got enraged for not being able to help Natalie. He sort of pepped her up and offered to spar with her.

[KamenRaida]

OOC: Oh, were you waiting for me?

OOC: Well, in all honesty I was waiting for Bloodmoon, seeing as Dean's pretty much gone to check on Illias (sp?). Though I must admit, I have no idea at what point in time Xing's collapse is at the moment. :confused:

OOC: When it comes to writing, I'm not horrendously bad. The exception to that is love scenes. I don't know if I've ever written a good one before.

OOC: Really? I kick ass at love scenes, which is funny given my extreme practical inexperience in that field. :o I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic at heart.

"No problem. After all, that's what I'm here for. To help you."

Alexia felt much better now. Her thoughts were starting to shift towards Rhia.

"....and later, maybe we can go a little bit farther. What do you say to that?"

Starting realise exactly what Alexia was suggesting, Rhia blushed and smiled nervously. "Lex... I-I'm not sure I'm really that way. I mean, I-I don't think I'd mind, but I'm not really ready to..."

She sighed. "Let's take is slow, see what happens, okay?" She playfully ruffled Alexia's hair. "I just got used to you being my sister, after all."

Kelly walked a long the bowls of the aren, looking for Bloodmoon. She had not checked in with him in over an hour. That meant something was srong, and was going to make sure ehat it was.

Kelly stopped as he looked into the medical ward, and seeing the boy who fought bell laying on a medical ward bed. Kelly smied, adnd walked in for a wuick look at the boy


OOCL Good night.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Well, in all honesty I was waiting for Bloodmoon, seeing as Dean's pretty much gone to check on Illias (sp?). Though I must admit, I have no idea at what point in time Xing's collapse is at the moment. :confused:

OOC: Indeed :P

[kain5252]

"No, Gregory is dead; Lehrer Bloodmoon mentioned that name. But the one who did this is something, or someone, named Solarius," she replied.

"I am not sure who this is, but the very name struck fear into her, even somebody of that Bloodmoon's level of power. But I don't think we can do anything, which I guess is why she sent me back here."

She sighed and slumped forward.

"Damn it!" Justin growled as he would make certain to remember this name. Even ignoring the venom traveling faster through his body as he got more angry.


"Solarius you say? Ill have to remember and look up that name" Chiaki said as she was sitting less then eight feet away from them in a chair next to the wall.

[Silver Knight]

Well if you're going back into the 30-minutes-later time, go talk to Selma.

When you were off, SK, I wrote a minor characterization between the two after Selma got enraged for not being able to help Natalie. He sort of pepped her up and offered to spar with her.

Well dang, would have liked to have known that sooner. Also I would if Dog was online, havent seen him, also I have no clue where Selma is. Oh about how far back 100, 200 pages?

"Solarius you say? Ill have to remember and look up that name" Chiaki said as she was sitting less then eight feet away from them in a chair next to the wall.

Natalie suddenly remembered that Justin required medical attention as well.

"Ahh! Don't sit up!" she started,"Now is not the time! I know, we are helpless to this case, but what can you do with this wound?"

Turning to Chiaki, she asked,"Oh, what kind of a teacher would do this to their student, he's poisoned!"

[Silver Knight]

The_Dog's on right now, and really there's not much more to that scene, but I'll go digging.

OOC: Thx a bunch, where was Selma last I could go that general direction.?

[The Dog]

Well dang, would have liked to have known that sooner. Also I would if Dog was online, havent seen him, also I have no clue where Selma is. Oh about how far back 100, 200 pages?

OOC: Actually, its a lot farther back than that, pre-tournament. And Selma's on the 15th floor.

Selma sighed as the elevators doors opened again, revealing the hallway her hotel room rested on. Her body seemed to not want to move any further, as if it would like nothing better than to lay in the elevator and never move again.

But she kept moving, moving toward her room and her bed. She wanted to scream, wanted to cry, wanted a release for her various emotions... But she just didn't have the energy to.

She shrugged. "Let's take is slow, see what happens, okay?" She playfully ruffled Alexia's hair. "I just got used to you being my sister, after all."

OOC: Well, you just have great skills in that area, I guess. Well, this'll have to be the last post of the day for me. Sleeepy ET is sleeepy.

"We may be sisters at heart, but not in blood. There wouldn't be any wrong if we chose to do it. But I won't pressure you into doing something that you wouldn't want. That wouldn't be right if I did. However, if you made the decision to be with me in that way, then I'll do my best to make sure that you will be happy." Alexia paused for a second.

"Even if we did it only once, that would be good enough for me. And since you did say we should take it slow, I'll honour your request. But when the time comes, I hope you'll have made the right decision."

[kain5252]

Natalie suddenly remembered that Justin required medical attention as well.

"Ahh! Don't sit up!" she started,"Now is not the time! I know, we are helpless to this case, but what can you do with this wound?"

Turning to Chiaki, she asked,"Oh, what kind of a teacher would do this to their student, he's poisoned!"

Justin gave Chiaki a irritated stare but sat down anyway as Natalie didnt give him much choice.


Chiaki simply smirked at Natalie. "That isnt any ordinary venom and I wouldnt recommend treating it. Besides its for his own good despite the pain it'll cause him for the nextseveral hours" her smile simply grew. "But, no pain no gain I suppose".

"You're his teacher? Mein Gott! What is he supposed to learn from this?"

She analyzed the wound. The venom was somewhat magical in nature, to treat it was beyond Natalie's knowledge regardless.

"What did he fight?!"

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Ok Ill just say Kekowa got tired of waiting and decided to go up in real time.

Kekowa grew weary of the lobby he did not feel like sleep, but he did not know where he could go, he wanted to talk with someone but he did not know who. As he walked past the front desk it hit him "Excuse me clerk a dormmate of mine is staying here can you by chance tell me where she's at, her name is Selma (insert last name when I find out)." The Clerk clicked his computer. "Why yes, on the 15th floor her room number is... *whispers*" Kekowa started walking towards the elvator 'Why thank you good sir."

*Ding* "!5th floor mens wares, housewares and any wares you might find." Kekowa made a small joke to himself when he got off the elevator, it had been awhile since he had laughed. He started walking down the hallway and came across her.

"Hey Selma, whats up, do you need a hand?"

[Tami]

Bloodmoon formed her own blade, and parried the blow. Twisting, she flicked the blade and scored a hit across Tamiko's check.

As blood dripped down her face, it pooled at a spot high on her chest. There it took the shape off Solarius' rune. Dark Tamiko's aura flared up intensly, as if her powers had multiplied. Dark Tamiko smiled faintly as she held her sword in front of her. Casting a spell onto the blade, it grew dark with a magical poison. One cut from that blade, no matter how small, causes paralysis.

Letting go of the sword, it danced in the air by it's self. Motioning a direction with her hand, Tamiko sent the blade flying towards Bloodmoon with the same power and force as if it were wielded by someone with twice Tamiko's strength.

[kain5252]

Natalie dropped her jaw.

"You're his teacher? Mein Gott! What is he supposed to learn from this?"

She analyzed the wound. The venom was somewhat magical in nature, to treat it was beyond Natalie's knowledge regardless.

"What did he fight?!"

"That wound wasnt from his fight. I stabbed him myself when we were alone. But he did fight this when he challenged me not long after he woke up" Chiaki made several lightning fast hand seals with her right hand, placed her hand to the ground, and summonded the Gremlin from before.

"Hey Selma, whats up, do you need a hand?"

Selma turned to Kekowa and gave him a tired, 'I'm not really in the mood' sort of look. But she said "No thank you Kekowa, I'm good, just a little tired that's all. I think I'm just going to head for bed and get some sleep. Good night." before turning and heading toward her room again.

"That wound wasnt from his fight. I stabbed him myself when we were alone. But he did fight this when he challenged me not long after he woke up" Chiaki made several lightning fast hand seals with her right hand, placed her hand to the ground, and summonded the Gremlin from before.

"So you stabbed him?! Once again, wha-"

Natalie dropped her tongue mid sentence as a wild fear entered her eyes.

Gremlin.

"YAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Picking up her staff, she cast the Zerutten spell, and exploded the giggling creature, scattering green and red gore about in a mess that looked like hotdog relish, but smelled of spoiled milk.

Clutching her chest, she hyperventilated and sat down on the bed.

"Was...du...ficken..."

"You alright?" Justin asked as he sat up again.

Chiaki couldnt help put laugh at the scene. "I have to say that was pretty amuesing. Still, Im impressed you can fight and sceam at the same time" she said as she sat back and crossed her legs.

Rhia smiled. "Thank you."

She's so sweet. Maybe I really should... I mean, if it would make it happy, wouldn't it be worth it?

Only, what if it just ends up hurting her in the long run? What if she really just needs validation and I'm just the first person she's ever dared consider? And besides, what do I want? What do I feel?

It was all so confusing, but somehow Rhia still felt bubbly and warm on the inside; a strange and unfamiliar happyness. The logical part of her mind told her that the whole situation should be giant emotional mess of awkwardness, but somehow it seemed to have worked out anyway.

I guess I'll figure it out eventually. I usually do, after all. Just take it one step at a time...

[GrampaGen]

"You alright?" Justin asked as he sat up again.

Chiaki couldnt help put laugh at the scene. "I have to say that was pretty amuesing. Still, Im impressed you can fight and sceam at the same time" she said as she sat back and crossed her legs.

"Hah...hah...hah..."

If anyone else looked at the scene, they'd think Natalie was the one that needed visiting.

"Gremins?! Mein Gottin! Sancti Deus! GOOD GOD! What is wrong with you woman?! They are born of destruction and rain havoc and putrid waste on all! Chaotic abyssal ones! Possibly children of Loki!"

Letting go of the sword, it danced in the air by it's self. Motioning a direction with her hand, Tamiko sent the blade flying towards Bloodmoon with the same power and force as if it were wielded by someone with twice Tamiko's strength.

Bloodmoon gestured with her hand, and banished the sword.


"You forget, Curse. In here, I am the strongest of the Arcadian Teachers. Even Solarius him self could not best me in here without help."

[Silver Knight]

Selma turned to Kekowa and gave him a tired, 'I'm not really in the mood' sort of look. But she said "No thank you Kekowa, I'm good, just a little tired that's all. I think I'm just going to head for bed and get some sleep. Good night." before turning and heading toward her room again.

"Yeah thats cool I guess." Kekowa said turning away. A down dweary tone to his voice. "I guess I'll go back to my room and do handstands all night to train. not like anybody would want to hang out with me..." As he started to walk away he felt something in his jacket pocket. He stopped as he pulled it out. It was the bottle of blue elixir he gave to Natalie. He saw her put it down but somehow it ended up right back in his pocket. He turned around and jogged back to Selma. "Here," handing the bottle to her "Its a special elixir Ruman told me to get, said it would heal me faster, but Im fine now and Ill be fine by the time the next round starts. Take it, it'll give you new life." With that he sunk back down and turned back around. "Well I guess if your just going to go to bed I wont bother you anymore..."

[kain5252]

"Hah...hah...hah..."

"Gremins?! Mein Gottin! Sancti Deus! GOOD GOD! What is wrong with you woman?! They are born of destruction and rain havoc and putrid waste on all! Chaotic abyssal ones! Possibly children of Loki!"

"Whats your point?" Chiaki asked in a amuesed tone.

[GrampaGen]

"Whats your point?" Chiaki asked in a amuesed tone.

Natalie was poised to deliver a speech about the rigors of black magic and summoning things for the sake of mischief as absolutely unscurpulous. But then again, Justin was hurt. So instead, she shook her head and resigned herself.

"Where did you ever meet someone like her, Justin?"

[Tami]

Bloodmoon gestured with her hand, and banished the sword.


"You forget, Curse. In here, I am the strongest of the Arcadian Teachers. Even Solarius him self could not best me in here without help."

The curse smiled, "You have done enough. With the shedding of her blood I am now awake and in full control. Remain here if you like, while I warm my hands on the blood of your students."

With that, back in the infirmary, Tamiko opens her eyes, and her eyes became dark and empty.

"My father asked her to train me. He's a old friend of hers and figured she'd be the best to make me stronger and prepare me for Arcadia and whatever I encounter" Justin explained.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Oh dear... oO

Whoa, Django was there too?

[Ghost]

Whoa, Django was there too?

OOC: Not sure. Last I saw Django he was in the infirmary, having just agreed to lend his body out to Gregory's ghost in order to help Tamiko. Did that happen already? I think I missed a lot...

"Tamiko?" Justin asked as he noticed this.

"My father asked her to train me. He's a old friend of hers and figured she'd be the best to make me stronger and prepare me for Arcadia and whatever I encounter" Justin explained.

Natalie stole a glance back to the smiling Chiaki, her one eye glinting with laughter.

"...well I suppose despite questionable methods, she has done quite a job. That was an interesting method of summoning, the handseals.|"

I'm like a bottle of water in the fridge, noone really wants me, but I'll do if there's nothing better in it."

If I like someone, in this case you, then I will offer my friendship and from what it looks like you need a shoulder to cry on." He moved closer to her every so slowly "Just becasue I want to protect Nat doesnt mean I want her. I owe her my life is all and I need to protect her untill that happens." Kekowa walked closer and used his finger to lift her chin up. "I came to see you, not Nat, Not Riha, you."

In spite of herself, Selma felt her cheeks darken as she looked at him. However she moved backwards as she said "Kekowa, I'm sorry. But if you're looking for something more than simple friendship, I can't oblige. There's already someone close to my heart, and I'm afraid that it isn't you..."

Turning away again, she rubbed her left arm with her right hand, saying "I'm sorry Kekowa..."

Turning away again, she rubbed her left arm with her right hand, saying "I'm sorry Kekowa..."

Kekowa took a couple steps forward ever so carefully. "I never said I wanted more. I came looking for a friend tonight. Someone to laugh with, cry with, share my troubles and maybe make me feel better. And from the looks of you, you need a friend tonight as well. So I tell ya what, we are friends nothing else deal?" Kekowa extended his hand so that if she turned she could shake it.

OOC: AHAHAHA! KEKO GOT BURNT, SON!

His dreams at romance have been crushed!

I bet Selma would have fallen for Deans game :P

OOC: Wanna make a bet that he can pull it off WITHOUT flexing? :p

[The Dog]

So, uh...Tami? Are we gonna die now? Or does the scenario need Cleric on hand as well? :D

OOC: Well, Charlotte could come in and deal with Cursed Tamiko if necessary.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Well, Charlotte could come in and deal with Cursed Tamiko if necessary.

OOC: Could work, but I think Tami and Cleric had something planned.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Wanna make a bet that he can pull it off WITHOUT flexing? :p

OOC: Thats a tough one. On any other girl, (Save alexia) sure, but Selma already loves Natalie.

I may need to flex a pectoral, or something.

[Inverse Genesis]

When Ilias awoke, it was to a dull pain in both his ears, back, and abdomen.

Slowly sitting up, Ilias glanced about the room, while ignoring the flare of more intense pain coming from his stomach; it was clearly a room in the Infirmary of the arena, though it could have been a room in any hospital anywhere: white walls, white roof, white.. well, everything, accompanied by the standard desentisized smell of all hospitals.

Sighing lightly to himself, he focused on taking stock of himself, having already remembered the situation that had brought him help. Bah. . . my back and stomach are alright, but the buzzing in my ears is damn annoying; on the bright side, I can actually hear something, which can only be good. Man, I hate bandages, they're so restricting. . .

Talking aloud to himself, if only to make sure he actually could hear things, he said, "Well, everything seems to be in the correct place."

[The Dog]

Kekowa took a couple steps forward ever so carefully. "I never said I wanted more. I came looking for a friend tonight. Someone to laugh with, cry with, share my troubles and maybe make me feel better. And from the looks of you, you need a friend tonight as well. So I tell ya what, we are friends nothing else deal?" Kekowa extended his hand so that if she turned she could shake it.

Selma turned to Kekowa and looked him over carefully, taking time to study his face. Finally, she nodded and took his hand, saying "Deal."

Turning, she walked to her room, opening the door as she looked to Kekowa and said "Come on in friend... Unless you've changed your mind about being my friend." She then entered the room and turned on the lights as she waited for him to walk in.

[KamenRaida]

OOC: Thats a tough one. On any other girl, (Save alexia) sure, but Selma already loves Natalie.

I may need to flex a pectoral, or something.

OOC: That's still a flex. But, nonetheless, should Dean fail, it is understandable. Especially if Selma cries, in which case, all hope is lost.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: That's still a flex. But, nonetheless, should Dean fail, it is understandable. Especially if Selma cries, in which case, all hope is lost.

OOC: What if he touched his toes?

[Froggy]

What have I missed?


And what's this about Ramus's mother?
She came to visit her boy, an d he's kind of excited telling her about the place.

where is everybody?
Apparently she's a hottie. :rolleyes:

[Tami]

So, uh...Tami? Are we gonna die now? Or does the scenario need Cleric on hand as well? :D

OOC: Just wanted to see if Cleric responds, didn't want to be unfair about it. ;) So, who wants to die firsr? [just kidding]

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Thats a tough one. Selma already loves Natalie.
OOC: Wait a minute you mean Natalie is the one holding me back into a just friends area with Selma? Wow I knew high school romances could be confusing but damn this takes the cake

Selma turned to Kekowa and looked him over carefully, taking time to study his face. Finally, she nodded and took his hand, saying "Deal."

Turning, she walked to her room, opening the door as she looked to Kekowa and said "Come on in friend... Unless you've changed your mind about being my friend." She then entered the room and turned on the lights as she waited for him to walk in.

Kekowa entered the room and closed the door behind him. Not bad, not as fancy as the one Natalie had but it was pretty decent and spacious. Kekowa walked over towards the other end of the room and sat down in a comy chair/sofa. "Well Selma, friend, whats troubling you? I could tell the moment I saw you."

[KamenRaida]

OOC: What if he touched his toes?

OOC: Good point. It really depends on how much of a mood Selma probably is at that point. It sure as hell would get her on a bad day, but anything above is quite dubious.

She came to visit her boy, an d he's kind of excited telling her about the place.

where is everybody?

OOC: We seem to be split into two different time-zones at the moment. As it is with Xing though, he just woke up from his coma.

[Miburohunter929]

When Ilias awoke, it was to a dull pain in both his ears, back, and abdomen.

Slowly sitting up, Ilias glanced about the room, while ignoring the flare of more intense pain coming from his stomach; it was clearly a room in the Infirmary of the arena, though it could have been a room in any hospital anywhere: white walls, white roof, white.. well, everything, accompanied by the standard desentisized smell of all hospitals.

Man, I hate bandages, they're so restricting. . .

Talking aloud to himself, if only to make sure he actually could hear things, he said, "Well, everything seems to be in the correct place."

"Well" Dean said entering the room, with an empty smirk. "Looks as though you've had a rough time out."

Although Dean still felt weary from all the comotion involving Xing, his state of mind had improved somewhat upon Xings admission to the infirmery. Still, the whole ordeal had taken alot out of him, resulting in a less cheerful, and more dejected attitude.

Although he felt that he should probally stay by Xings side, there was nothing he could do, and staying there longer then necessary would have been akward, atleast for Dean.

Besides, he did have other friends to check on.

"You think someone would have remembered to drop these off for you." Dean said, glancing towards the two weapons he carried on his person.

Slung over his right shoulder, he carried the Nodachi that Illias had lost during the battle, and his Gladius in his left hand.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: going to bed because I gotta get up for work in 3 hours, lets finish this tomorrow Dog.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Just wanted to see if Cleric responds, didn't want to be unfair about it. ;) So, who wants to die firsr? [just kidding]

OOC: We seem to be split into two different time-zones at the moment. As it is with Xing though, he just woke up from his coma.

well hawaii is like 3 to six hrs diff from everyone else

Maria and Ramus walked into the room Xing was in (he's sitll iln a room right?)

[KamenRaida]

well hawaii is like 3 to six hrs diff from everyone else

Maria and Ramus walked into the room Xing was in (he's sitll iln a room right?)

OOC: Yup, I think he's still in the room

IC:

Shaking his head, Xing raised a hand to Ramus and Maria, turning his head to smile lightly at his father and Xiong Wei. Then realizing something, Xing asked, "Wait a minute. Where's Dean?"

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Wait a minute you mean Natalie is the one holding me back into a just friends area with Selma? Wow I knew high school romances could be confusing but damn this takes the cake


OOC: Wait you dropped the Natalie chase after one conversation with her? She hasn't picked anyone, and didn't say much to Kekowa because it kind of creeped her out to see him come up all at once, bowing and calling her Fraulein while offering mysterious blue drinks 0o Everyone still has a chance!:D

[KamenRaida]

OOC: You know, at this point, I'm just going to count how many have attempted to court Natalie. Then I'll count how many people don't. Just to get a ratio. And I somehow think that the answer will freak me out in incredibly scary ways.

5:15, last I checked :)

[KamenRaida]

5:15, last I checked :)

OOC: Actually that wasn't as bad as I thought. Though having one-third of the class after one girl is still pretty scary.

[The Dog]

OOC: Wait a minute you mean Natalie is the one holding me back into a just friends area with Selma? Wow I knew high school romances could be confusing but damn this takes the cake

OOC: Well, Natalie, Django, Peter, Tamiko, Sirus, Anselm, Alexia, Xing, Rhia, Henry, Shamra, Kiran, Jinmu, Alex, Xellos, Samuel, Kelly, Tenten, Raksha, Bitey, Maxwell, and Ramus. But after them, you'd be in!...

Kidding. :p (mostly)

Kekowa entered the room and closed the door behind him. Not bad, not as fancy as the one Natalie had but it was pretty decent and spacious. Kekowa walked over towards the other end of the room and sat down in a comy chair/sofa. "Well Selma, friend, whats troubling you? I could tell the moment I saw you."

Selma sat down on the bed, pulling her right leg under her as she did so. Looking over at Kekowa, she sighed and said "Well, there's this girl... Natalie, to be exact, who I really like and care about. Unfortunately, there's other people who like her as well. To make matters worse, I don't even know if she could possibly like me that way..."

Laying back with another sigh, she asked more herself than Kekowa "Why does life have to be so complicated?"

[Froggy]

OOC: Yup, I think he's still in the room

IC:

Shaking his head, Xing raised a hand to Ramus and Maria, turning his head to smile lightly at his father and Xiong Wei. Then realizing something, Xing asked, "Wait a minute. Where's Dean?" "I think Dean's in the other wing" Ramus said, as his mother nodded.

OOC: Actually that wasn't as bad as I thought. Though having one-third of the class after one girl is still pretty scary.

OOC: stillt hoguh..insane

[Inverse Genesis]

"Well" Dean said entering the room, with an empty smirk. "Looks as though you've had a rough time out."

Although Dean still felt weary from all the comotion involving Xing, his state of mind had improved somewhat upon Xings admission to the infirmery. Still, the whole ordeal had taken alot out of him, resulting in a less cheerful, and more dejected attitude.

Besides, he did have other friends to check on.

"You think someone would have remembered to drop these off for you." Dean said, glancing towards the two weapons he carried on his person.

Slung over his right shoulder, he carried the Nodachi that Illias had lost during the battle, and his Gladius in his left hand.

It did not suprise Ilias to see the weapons carried, but it did suprise him who was the one who bore them; after all, he had sensed his own weapons steadily coming towards him since he had awoke. Glancing Dean up and down with a small frown and heavily lidded eyes, Ilias silently mused that it seemed like it was Dean who had had the rougher time, even though it was he himself who had gotten busted up not long ago.

"Hello, Dean. It's been quite awhile, hmm?"

Smiling amusedly, Ilias held out his upturned palms casually, and unnessarily reformed his blades into his hands. The distance truly did make a difference in how long it took--he probably should have made sure they were all close to the arena ring, but he had decided to leave it be. It hadn't made much of difference in the end, anyway.

"I really must thank you for picking these up for me, eh, old friend?"

[Miburohunter929]

5:15, last I checked :)

OOC: I may have Dean try. But he wont do it with words, no sir.

He'll do it with actions!

Slaying Dragons, smiting her enemies, killing some animal for some rare treasure, Love Poses, the Whole nine!

Thats how Dean Gatlain gets his chicks, damnit.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: I may have Dean try. But he wont do it with words, no sir.

OOC: Only to be outdone by Sabin again!

Though the end result of that will be that Natalie will be in some sort of pit of leather and chains.

[KamenRaida]

OOC: I may have Dean try. But he wont do it with words, no sir.

He'll do it with actions!

Flexing, all day, all night. Seranading babes with his muscles, and giving them flowers made from the very flesh of which he is composed.

Thats how Dean Gatlain gets his chicks, damnit.

OOC: Fixed it for you :D

"I think Dean's in the other wing" Ramus said, as his mother nodded.


Nodding, Xing began to get out of his bed, before a hand stopped him from getting up.

Sighing Xing said, "Father, you do not need to worry, I'm quite fine."

"No, Xing, you're not. Listen, Dr. Bloodmon told us that something was wrong with your DNA and personally I want to know what's wrong with it."

Eyes widening, Xing said, "Father, please. I'm quite alright. I just lost a little bit of sleep the other night. No harm done. I just want to speak with Dean about this entire marraig----"

"Son. I do not know what troubles you, but I know I cannot force an answer out of you. I just want you to know though, that you can tell me anytime you feel like doing so."

Nodding, Xing said, "Don't worry, father."

With that, Xing walked out.

[Tami]

OOC: Well...Cleric's off, crap! We're gonna be in this infirmiry forever!

OOC: Sorry about that. I'll do what I can to speed things up.

[Froggy]

"Why won't Xing tell us? Ramus asked.....not noticing his mother ha dlef tto watch the other students,

[Miburohunter929]

It did not suprise Ilias to see the weapons carried, but it did suprise him who was the one who bore them; after all, he had sensed his own weapons steadily coming towards him since he had awoke. Glancing Dean up and down with a small frown and heavily lidded eyes, Ilias silently mused that it seemed like it was Dean who had had the rougher time, even though it was he himself who had gotten busted up not long ago.

It hadn't made much of difference in the end, anyway.

"I really must thank you for picking these up for me, eh, old friend?"

"You know. If I had remebered you could do that, I wouldnt have bothered."

As Dean said this, he couldnt help but reflect on the fact that he had never seen Ilias outmanuevered in such a manner before. Dean actually found it somewhat amusing. Ilias was his friend and a good one, but Dean loved mocking him. It always made him feel better.

"I'd say I'm surprised to see you, but after running into Jon, I probally should have expected as much." Dean said, as he leaned against the wall to the side of Ilias.

"Of course, I didnt think we'd meet up in a hospital, because you got your ass kicked. Life's funny like that, eh? "

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Fixed it for you :D


OOC: So much awesome :P

OOC: Only to be outdone by Sabin again!

Though the end result of that will be that Natalie will be in some sort of pit of leather and chains.

OOC: Cursed Sabin. Such a Cock Blocker. He'd screw Dean over, and say that sorrow and anger will make him stronger.

One day, the student will surpass the master.

[KamenRaida]

"Why won't Xing tell us? Ramus asked.....not noticing his mother ha dlef tto watch the other students,

Yong sighed, "I guess for someone like him, it's difficult to share his problems. He always seemed the type to lack some degree of self-conciousness. But, he'll tell when he wants to."

[KamenRaida]

OOC: Cursed Sabin. Such a Cock Blocker. He'd screw Dean over, and say that sorrow and anger will make him stronger.

One day, the student will surpass the master.

OOC: Considering how agreeable Xing is, I'd probably laugh my ass off if Sabin decided to put Xing through one of his training regimes.

[Inverse Genesis]

"You know. If I had remebered you could do that, I wouldnt have bothered."

"Of course, I didnt think we'd meet up in a hospital, because you got your ass kicked.Life's funny like that, eh? "

Letting out a loud bark of laughter, Ilias only shook his head in reply. But, abruptly, Ilias narrowed his eyes, and stared intently at Dean. Dean wasn't often a subdued person, and when he was, there was usually a pretty good reason for it. Not only that, but Ilias had known for a good, long time now, and there was one thing that Dean was prone to when he was sulking; he'd let it go for now, but he would definitely be asking later.

Shaking his head once again to dislodge that train of thought, Ilias say, "Yes, I had figured that Jon would make it here one way or another; he's always been that way. Knowing him, he either won a bet, or blackmailed someone." Waving the gladius vaguely at Dean, he continued, "Also, was that girl from Norn alright--Bell, I think her name was? I remember seeing her regrow her arm, but considering the condition I was in there at the end, I'm not so sure my memory can be relied upon."

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Considering how agreeable Xing is, I'd probably laugh my ass off if Sabin decided to put Xing through one of his training regimes.

OOC: Indeed. Also...

Natalie: Dean, I love you, take me into your mighty arms, and hold me, as only a man like you can...

Dean: Okay. *Holds her in a totally awesome way* Now?

Natalie: Now kiss me, you fool! I am yours!

Dean: M'Kay.

Sabin: DYNAMIC ENTRY!!! *Kicks Dean away before kiss* Not on my watch.

Natalie: Ah! You're not Dean!

Sabin: *Kisses natalie* And you're not over eighteen. I'll live with it, if you can.

Natalie: Eh, what the hell.

Dean: @*(*(!*#@!!! SABIN!!!

[Froggy]

Yong sighed, "I guess for someone like him, it's difficult to share his problems. He always seemed the type to lack some degree of self-conciousness. But, he'll tell when he wants to." "Ahh....I understand"

[Miburohunter929]

Letting out a loud bark of laughter, Ilias only shook his head in reply. But, abruptly, Ilias narrowed his eyes, and stared intently at Dean.

I remember seeing her regrow her arm, but considering the condition I was in there at the end, I'm not so sure my memory can be relied upon."

Dean nodded his head in agreement with Ilias' statement. "Yeah. She didnt even seem fazed by your attack. She regrew her arm in an instant, and simply walked off."

Dean couldnt help but sigh, upon considering the prospect of facing a girl like Bell. Hand to Hand was Deans specialty, and the rate of her regenration, along with the rest of her talents, would make dealing with her quite difficult.

Atleast alone.

"Well, all things considered, you got off pretty easy." Dean said, smiling, although it was obviously forced. "I suppose you should be thankful."

[KamenRaida]

OOC: Indeed. Also...

Natalie: Dean, I love you, take me into your mighty arms, and hold me, as only a man like you can...

Dean: Okay. *Holds her in a totally awesome way* Now?

Xing: Father, is it at all appropriate for one's Fiancee to be shared with another?

Yong: That, my son, is what would technically be called adultery!

Xing: So, it's bad?

Yong: Most certainly, my child. And now, I'm sure you want to know what to do about this. And of course, I shall give you an answer. You must CRUSH the one who dares to take your fiancee! Crush the fiend with your might!

Xing: But I don't think---

Yong: Do it, or you will prove yourself a warrior willing to give the enemy every chance they have at you!

Xing: Oh no! *taps Natalie on shoulder*

Natalie: Ja----

Xing: *WTFPwns Natalie* GET AWAY FROM MY FIANCEE, BITCH! :mad:

[GrampaGen]

OOC: I'm just thankful that Xing isnt trying to drag Dean off to the jerry springer show.

[Froggy]

OOC: Xing! GET YO MAN!

[Inverse Genesis]

Dean nodded his head in agreement with Ilias' statement. "Yeah. She didnt even seem fazed by your attack. She regrew her arm in an instant, and simply walked off."

Atleast alone.

"Well, all things considered, you got off pretty easy." Dean said, smiling, although it was obviously forced. "I suppose you should be thankful."

Ilias couldn't help the slight twitch he did at Dean's forced smile; it was, to put it nicely, rather annoying. It was fun to watch most people sulk, but Dean was more like a kicked puppy. It made him want to kick him even more, either way, though.

Grumbling silently, Ilias leant his nodachi against the side of the bed, and reached into the inside of his coat, moving for the pocket sewn there, and as he withdrew his hand, light glinted on a silver surface as he he

"Alright, Dean. Quit being a wuss, and let's get this the hell over with. Did someone eat your kitty? Did your dog get run over? What?" As he said these things, Ilias waved his hand around threateningly. Of course, only Ilias would take himself seriously when he was waving a spoon at someone in a threatening manner.

[The Dog]

OOC: Everyone still has a chance!:D

OOC: But Selma and Natalie have been working up to a relationship for so long! If they don't get together, then... then... then it'll be like The Wonder Years. Or the Rankin-Bass version of Jack Frost!

[KamenRaida]

By the time he had gotten out of his room, Xing had switched on his Qi Gan. Standing still so that he would be able to find Dean's Chi for a moment, Xing made his way to the left only to nearly crash into another figure.

"Slow down for a moment, Xing." Xiong Wei laughed as he patted his student on the back, "Are you sure you should even be out of bed? I just only left for a few minutes to get a drink, and when I come back, you already look like you want to get yourself into another scrap like before."

"Forgive my rush, Li Shi Fu." Xing said, "But I was merely looking for Dean. Though our battle may have ended on difficult circumstances, I felt as if my understanding for Dean grew in the battle. A proud warrior, he certainly is, guided by the ways of strength. I wish to see if he feels the same way."

Sighing, Xiong Wei thought if he should reveal how mistaken Xing's perception was, but decided against it, "If you say so. But at the very least, don't forget your Dao." Pushing the Dao into Xing's arms, Xiong Wei walked away, "Don't strain yourself too much now!"

Nodding, Xing focused his attention back onto Dean's location and mere minutes after his encounter with Xiong Wei, entered the room where Dean was.

"Dean!" Xing smiled, tapping his friend on the shoulder, "Yo!"

OOC: All Your Relationships Are Belong To Dean.

Resistance is futitle.

[Froggy]

ramus mother sat in the chair...deep in thought. *These kids.....so young......remind me of my earlier years.....as she reminisced to being the same age...same age as when I met his father.....*


Ramus meanwhile, walked otu of the infirmary hall where Xing was and walked to follow him. "conserve enrgy"

[Miburohunter929]

Ilias couldn't help the slight twitch he did at Dean's forced smile; it was, to put it nicely, rather annoying. It was fun to watch most people sulk, but Dean was more like a kicked puppy. It made him want to kick him even more, either way, though.

Grumbling silently, Ilias leant his nodachi against the side of the bed, and reached into the inside of his coat, moving for the pocket sewn there, and as he withdrew his hand, light glinted on a silver surface as he he

"Alright, Dean. Quit being a wuss, and let's get this the hell over with. Did someone eat your kitty? Did your dog get run over? What?" As he said these things, Ilias waved his hand around threateningly. Of course, only Ilias would take himself seriously when he was waving a spoon at someone in a threatening manner.

Ilias sudden outbust had taken Dean by surprise, somewhat. Ilias always had a gift for noticing things that were none of his damn business. Dean found it pretty cool when he did it to other people. When Dean was the victim, however, he found it annoying as all hell.

Dean considered answering his query, but he couldnt find the right words to adaquately explain how because of a slight miscalculation, he had nearly killed one of his friends.

Besides, this wasnt the Doctor Phil show. Dean deals with his guilt, alone. That was his way. Dean decided to focus on another subject.

"What the hell is with you and that spoon? It's not even time for-"


"Dean!" Xing smiled, tapping his friend on the shoulder, "Yo!"

Xings arrival took Dean by surprise. Although he was obviously relieved to see him up, and well in both spirit and body, Dean still found himself at a loss for words. Not three hours ago, he had been convulsing on the floor, curtesy of Dean.

Somehow "Hey, Sorry for nearly killing you" Didnt seem to cut it.

"Yo." He replied, not quite sure how to react towards Xing. "Nice to see you're up."

[KamenRaida]

ramus mother sat in the chair...deep in thought. *These kids.....so young......remind me of my earlier years.....as she reminisced to being the same age...same age as when I met his father.....*


"I was wondering where you were." Yong said as he sat himself next to Maria. Sighing, he looked to her, "Looks like you're thinking of something. I've given up trying to get something out of my son for today. If you don't mind my asking though, what troubles you?"

[The Dog]

OOC: Once Natalie assists Selma's issues so that she stops cracking, maybe even blasting her parents with a SONDERSTRAHL KANONE, we'll see ;)

OOC: But a lot of Selma's issues and the reason she's cracking extend from the fact that she believes no one will ever love her. And I don't mean in a parental way, I mean in a relationship way.

So, if Natalie were to love Selma, it would be the panacea that Selma needs. Blasting her parents with a SONDERSTRAHL KANONE would merely be highly theraputic (which is a good thing). :D

[Froggy]

"I was wondering where you were." Yong said as he sat himself next to Maria. Sighing, he looked to her, "Looks like you're thinking of something. I've given up trying to get something out of my son for today. If you don't mind my asking though, what troubles you?" She smiled at Yong, and said "Nothing really.....just reminiscing. I met my husband when I was the same age as these children.....seems like life hit me so fast.......at least one good thing came out of it" as she thought of her son. "When we got married, I loved his passion for his fighting, and thought ti was great ideal.......little did I know it was cause he was insane........but enough about him....how about you, waht were you like at this age?

[Inverse Genesis]

Ilias sudden outbust had taken Dean by surprise, somewhat. Ilias always had a gift for noticing things that were none of his damn business. Dean found it pretty cool when he did it to other people. When Dean was the victim, however, he found it annoying as all hell.

Dean considered answering his query, but he couldnt find the right words to adaquately explain how because of a slight miscalculation, he had nearly killed one of his friends.

Besides, this wasnt the Doctor Phil show. Dean deals with his guilt, alone. That was his way. Dean decided to focus on another subject.

"What the hell is with you and that spoon? It's not even time for-"



Xings arrival took Dean by surprise. Although he was obviously relieved to see him up, and well in both spirit and body, Dean still found himself at a loss for words. Not three hours ago, he had been convulsing on the floor, curtesy of Dean.

Somehow "Hey, Sorry for nearly killing you" Didnt seem to cut it.

"Yo." He replied, not quite sure how to react towards Xing. "Nice to see you're up."

Glancing at the boy had entered the room, Ilias absently stuck the spoon in his mouth and began to gnaw on it, while his mind put together the puzzle pieces presented here. A: Dean was guilty, B: from the way that Dean shifted about, that guy had something to do with why, and C: combined with the "nice to see you up" comment and the fact that they were in the hospital. . . well, it didn't take a genius to figure it out, even though Ilias was one.

Yawning widely, he turned drowsy eyes once again upon the person who had entered the room; it wasn't exactly unexpected, really--Ilias had felt the Dao approaching the room.

"Hello, I don't believe we've met."

[KamenRaida]

"Yo." He replied, not quite sure how to react towards Xing. "Nice to see you're up."

Not quite sure if it would be all too appropriate to refer to what caused him to take that short nap in the first place, Xing laughed nervously.

"Thank you, Dean. Sorry about... what happened... I don't even remember how long ago that happened." Mentally, Xing regretted what he'd just said and berated himself for wandering into that sordid territory, "Nonetheless, that most certainly was an entertaining we spar which we had! I hope that if the circumstances allow, we will be able to do battle once again."

"But Dean, I came just to tell you that I felt that I was able to gain a greater understanding of you from that spar, and I was wondering if you perhaps felt the same way."

Glancing at the boy had entered the room, Ilias absently stuck the spoon in his mouth and began to gnaw on it, while his mind put together the puzzle pieces presented here.

Yawning widely, he turned drowsy eyes once again upon the person who had entered the room; it wasn't exactly unexpected, really--Ilias had felt the Dao approaching the room.

"Hello, I don't believe we've met."

Noticing the other man, Xing at once recalled that he had detected another prescence nearby Dean within the room. This person was likely the source of that prescence.

Bowing low to the other man, Xing replied, "No, I believe we haven't. If I may introduce myself, I am Lin Xing, Bat-Fist Practitioner of the Beast-Fist School. An honor to meet you, sir!"

Thinking to himself for a moment, Xing asked, "Am I right in assuming that like Dean and Jon, you are of the Warrior Birthland, Nevada as well?"

[KamenRaida]

She smiled at Yong, and said "Nothing really.....just reminiscing. I met my husband when I was the same age as these children.....seems like life hit me so fast.......at least one good thing came out of it" as she thought of her son. "When we got married, I loved his passion for his fighting, and thought ti was great ideal.......little did I know it was cause he was insane........but enough about him....how about you, waht were you like at this age?

"Ah, the days when I was a youth." Yong smiled as he lay furthur back on his seat, "Truly, they were much simpler days. I remember the days training with my dear siblings in the way of the martial arts, helping my parents with the daily chores which we needed to accomplish for survival."

"I think it was around that age that I decided to no longer act as a burden to the mother and father who had raised me, and left to seek my own way. It was difficult at first, for the only ways I knew were those my family had thaught me. But as any true man should, I coped well enough. I think it was the year after that when I met Wang Shi Fu. When I had nowhere else to go, he invited me to his sect, the Beast Fist School, and his virtues and morals being one which I found flawless, I decided to train under the great man."

"But, Maria you say that your husband was not of sound mind? Though I may be breaching into areas you would rather not discussed, I must ask what actions had the man done to make you decide that?"

[Miburohunter929]

Not quite sure if it would be all too appropriate to refer to what caused him to take that short nap in the first place, Xing laughed nervously."Thank you, Dean. Sorry about... what happened... I don't even remember how long ago that happened." Mentally, Xing regretted what he'd just said and berated himself for wandering into that sordid territory.

Dean found Xings words confusing. Technically speaking, Xing hadnt done anything to Dean, certainly nothing meriting an apology . Infact, seeing as how Dean was the one who sent him to the hospital in the first place, he should have been the one to appologize.

"What? I should be the one apologizing to you, after all the..." Dean stoped, looking for the correct word to describe the situation. "Unplesantness." Dean said finally.


"Nonetheless, that most certainly was an entertaining we spar which we had! I hope that if the circumstances allow, we will be able to do battle once again."

"Umm..." Dean began, his mind replaying the outcome of the last time they spared. "Sure, well see what happenes."

In his heart, Dean knew very well that he had no intention of sparing with Xing. He wasnt going to risk slipping up again. They might not be so lucky again, and Dean had no desire to give Xings eulogy.

It just wasnt going to happen. Of course, He didnt tell Xing that.


"But Dean, I came just to tell you that I felt that I was able to gain a greater understanding of you from that spar, and I was wondering if you perhaps felt the same way."

Dean paused to think for a moment. He hadnt had much time to contemplate what he learned about xing, due to his sudden collaspe, and checking on Ilias. However, although he didnt dwell on it much until now, he indeed did get a better understanding of his friend.

"Yeah." Dean said with a slight grin. "Same here."

[Miburohunter929]

Celestial traveler, I call upon thee to lead my enemies to their final rest under heaven’s menacing glare! Meteor Storm!

Thinking to himself for a moment, Xing asked, "Am I right in assuming that like Dean and Jon, you are of the Warrior Birthland, Nevada as well?"

Humming slightly in reply, Ilias shook his head. "Not quite--Xing, was it?--though I do live there now. Really, I'm from all over, but I was originally born in Texas; Houston, to be exact, though I didn't spend many years there."

However, he abruptly sat up straighter, and hid a wince when it agitated his stomach and back wounds, and said, "Ahh, how rude of me. I haven't properly introduced myself, either, have I? My name Ilias Lament; my style of fighting has no real name, really, though I 'pose I will have to name it later.

"Yeah." Dean said with a slight grin. "Same here."

Throughout this whole spiel, Ilias lightly noted that Dean seemed quite reluctant to fight Xing again, and along with other comments, it seemed clear that Dean had made a mistake during a fight, and had accidentally injured a dormmate who was obviously a friend of his.

However, really, it wasn't Ilias' job to fix Dean's problems--he was a big boy after all. This train of thought, however, was derailed by a large, jaw creaking yawn, where upon he had to precariously balance the spoon so that it did not fall.

Murmuring tiredly that he needed some sleep, Ilias slipped the spoon back into its pocket and, his hands lightly gripping both his nodachi and gladius, he drifted off to sleep, not even bothering to inform the others in the room.

OOC: I, myself, am going to stop RPing for tonight--I've got a massive headache, and I'm probably gonna slip off into dreamland soon as well. Goodnight, everyone.

[Inverse Genesis]

OOC: By the way, it was great roleplaying with you all. I'm looking forward to continuing this again tomorrow.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Ugh, Phantom Post.

[KamenRaida]

Humming slightly in reply, Ilias shook his head. "Not quite--Xing, was it?--though I do live there now. Really, I'm from all over, but I was originally born in Texas; Houston, to be exact, though I didn't spend many years there."

However, he abruptly sat up straighter, and hid a wince when it agitated his stomach and back wounds, and said, "Ahh, how rude of me. I haven't properly introduced myself, either, have I? My name Ilias Lament; my style of fighting has no real, really, though I 'pose I will have to name it later.

Xing nodded, "Though I suppose that a fighting style does not truly require a name, for what is a name but a title? The power and heart behind the style is all that should matter!"

Dean found Xings words confusing. Technically speaking, Xing hadnt done anything to Dean, certainly nothing meriting an apology . Infact, seeing as how Dean was the one who sent him to the hospital in the first place, he should have been the one to appologize.

"What? I should be the one apologizing to you, after all the..." Dean stoped, looking for the correct word to describe the situation. "Unplesantness." Dean said finally.

Xing sadly shook his head at the apology Dean presented him. Though he was flattered that Dean did care that much, Xing was uncomfortable with what felt was the uncharacteristic hesitation on his friend's part.

"No, Dean, I overestimated my own abilities that time." Xing reassured, "It's just that I didn't get any sleep the other night, so I think I'm to blame for what happened back then."

"Umm..." Dean began, his mind replaying the outcome of the last time they spared. "Sure, well see what happenes."

In his heart, Dean knew very well that he had no intention of sparing with Xing. He wasnt going to risk slipping up again. They might not be so lucky again, and Dean had no desire to give Xings eulogy.

It just wasnt going to happen. Of course, He didnt tell Xing that.

Xing clapped his hands excitedly at Dean's answer. In his heart of hearts, Xing truly did wish to engage in another sparring match with Dean. In his view, a fair and honorable fight was, while not necessarily essential, an excellent method in solidifying the friendship between any two individuals.

"Excellent!" Xing couldn't help but send a punch into the air to show his excitement, "Although, I think we should wait awhile before we get into another spar. I wouldn't want to bore you by utilizing the same old tactics as we did in our last one!"

Dean paused to think for a moment. He hadnt had much time to contemplate what he learned about xing, due to his sudden collaspe, and checking on Ilias. However, although he didnt dwell on it much until now, he indeed did get a better understanding of his friend.

"Yeah." Dean said with a slight grin. "Same here."

A grin too formed on Xing, "Well, that's a relief. So, since we both agree on that the spar has allowed us a greater amount of understanding of each other, does that mean we are viable to be fiancees now?"

[KamenRaida]

OOC: By the way, it was great roleplaying with you all. I'm looking forward to continuing this again tomorrow.

OOC: Same here, IG. Hope you have a good sleep. :)

Either way, I'm going to need to go over to my new house which has no connection as of yet in a few minutes. So I'm just going to disappear as well. Buh-bye.

[Tami]

The curse smiled, "You have done enough. With the shedding of her blood I am now awake and in full control. Remain here if you like, while I warm my hands on the blood of your students."

With that, back in the infirmary, Tamiko opens her eyes, and her eyes became dark and empty.

"Tamiko?" Justin asked as he noticed this.

Natalie stole a glance back to the smiling Chiaki, her one eye glinting with laughter.

"...well I suppose despite questionable methods, she has done quite a job. That was an interesting method of summoning, the handseals.|"



Natalie looked over to the bed next to Justin.

"Oh! She's come to!"

"Careful kids, she isnt normal" Chiaki said, now being serious.

Justin glanced at Chiaki then looked back to Tamiko.

Django, who had been sitting quietly hearby, suddenly stood up. Turning to Chiaki, he spoke in a different voice, "Madam, please hurry and get your student and the others out of here." Django/Gregory then turned to Natalie, "Miss, please get out of here now."

Cursed Tamiko then turned to look at Django, and quickly got out of bed. Levitating several inches above the ground, she summoned her Psychic spear and headed over to kill him.

[FalconX2000]

OOC: Wasnt it after I confronted Sirus? Oh and its funny how you never said that to his face.

OOC: Of course Xellos never said it to Kek's face. There's nothing to gain from provoking him. He just used the phrase to put Sirus at ease.

OOC: Ah I see. Guess we'll find out when he gets back.

Dark street. Sorry gramps.:o

"We may be sisters at heart, but not in blood. There wouldn't be any wrong if we chose to do it."

Since they're not mixing their DNA into a baby, it wouldn't matter either way, would it?;)

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Of course Xellos never said it to Kek's face. There's nothing to gain from provoking him. He just used the phrase to put Sirus at ease.


OOC: Surely, Xellos wouldnt have such a name for Dean, who he's totally cool with, right?

Dean would be heartbroken, which results in something else being broken by Dean.

Hint, Hint.

[FalconX2000]

Kekowa looked back with a half cocked smile. "Now why would I do something like that? I am a man intergrity and honesty. If I like someone, in this case you, then I will offer my friendship and from what it looks like you need a shoulder to cry on." He moved closer to her every so slowly "Just becasue I want to protect Nat doesnt mean I want her. I owe her my life is all and I need to protect her untill that happens." Kekowa walked closer and used his finger to lift her chin up. "I came to see you, not Nat, Not Riha, you."

OOC: Aside from that first sentence, this whole paragraph actually sounded genuinely honest. Alot of his niceness comes off as contrived to me, but this was well written.


"Ohhh....TOO BAD!"

Clone Alex dodged the icicles easily, rushing forward with a barrage of punches aimed at Xellos' vitals.

Xellos loosened his muscles even as the ice formed over him, deflecting those aimed at his throat while accepting the blows to the lower torso with tai chi bending.

It hurt more than it had any right to regardless, the impacts travelling through the armour and into his organs. Xellos reeled in pain, but pushed his body into the next blow and froze the assasin's fist in place.

Blood welled up in his throat. Xellos froze it, coughing out ice shards into Alex's eyes as he grabbed Alex's arm and started growing mini ice-stalagtites into them.

[FalconX2000]

OOC: Surely, Xellos wouldnt have such a name for Dean, who he's totally cool with, right?

Dean would be heartbroken, which results in something else being broken by Dean.

Hint, Hint.

Dean breaks other things in his body all the time, so I have no idea what you're talking about.:D

And Xellos likes Dean. Somewhat crazy, but in a good way.

[Kevin M.]

OOC: It seems that a lot has happned during my absence.

[Ghost]

OOC: But Selma and Natalie have been working up to a relationship for so long! If they don't get together, then... then... then it'll be like The Wonder Years. Or the Rankin-Bass version of Jack Frost!

And that would be bad.:(

...

...

...

...

;)
OOC: Once Natalie assists Selma's issues so that she stops cracking, maybe even blasting her parents with a SONDERSTRAHL KANONE, we'll see ;)
OOC: But a lot of Selma's issues and the reason she's cracking extend from the fact that she believes no one will ever love her. And I don't mean in a parental way, I mean in a relationship way.

So, if Natalie were to love Selma, it would be the panacea that Selma needs. Blasting her parents with a SONDERSTRAHL KANONE would merely be highly theraputic (which is a good thing). :D

Rhia: You guys fail at this whole love business, you know that?

*frenches Alexia, then Henry*

Rhia: Now excuse me, but we're going to have a threesome. See ya! ^^

OOC: All Your Relationships Are Belong To Dean.

Resistance is futitle.

...What, even Henry? oO

Dean breaks other things in his body all the time, so I have no idea what you're talking about.:D

And Xellos likes Dean. Somewhat crazy, but in a good way.

Hah! Thats how Dean fights! He can afford to injure himself while attacking you! Durability + Healing=Win!!!

Although he dosnt actually have to do that anymore.

Smokebomb+Shingan=PWNESS. :)

Remember what I told you GrampaGen? She's looking for pity sex!

[FalconX2000]

Well it won't be much but here goes.

IC:
Natalie clambered to the elevator in a rush. Emotions spiraled out of control inside of her and combined with the fatigue left her feeling absolutely pained and hollow. When the door shut as the elevator raised up, she tried to relax, cut off from the rest of the world. Instead, she grew short of breath, as if in the middle of a cry, but no tears came, just the rattled feelings that wouldn't find a way out.

Her head spun, an odd taste in her mouth. She leaned back on the elevator wall and pulled back her sopping hair. Slowly regaining herself, she rubebd her eyes and started to mutter.

"Why does everything have to be so-,"

And with a chime, the elevator had reached her floor, the marble columns and stone garden with the fountains of koi fish just seemed to accentuate how much she didn't belong here. Shackleford stepped forward, eyes narrowed and nose in the air as usual.

"Ah, Madam has arrived."

Unable to speak, she nodded to him, bent low, and hurried inside and shut the door.

However, she gave pause, opened the door and took the ready tea tray the butler had at the ready.

"Danke."

Immediately she just sat on the bed, a single person dwarfed by a world of luxury. Why? She wouldn't be able to use all of it, some things not at all. Placing the tea tray beside her, she lay on her side above the cover and watched the steam rise from the spout.

Minutes, maybe hours passed, the vapours spiralling, expanding, the finally dying. It was almost hypnotic. When the tea fell chill, she had fallen asleep.


OOC: Won't be much huh?;) Wonderful read. Just wish I didn't accidentally close my first reply without posting.

BTC:

Xellos tried the balcony door. It was locked.

He gathered a puddle of water into his hands and fed it into the lock, lowering the temperature as he did so. He let the excess drain off, the remainder flowing along the inner workings, feeling for the appropriate contours.

When the appropriate shape was formed, he froze the water solid, then turned the ice key to unlock the door. He stepped onto the waiting Persian rug, raising his body temperature to dry off.

The lights were dimmed, but he could still make out Natalie on the bed, curled like a shrimp, hands held together at neck level.

He walked softly to her side, staying there for some minutes. Gently, he pulled the bed covers over her.

Brushing a lock of hair aside, he bent down. His lips inches from hers, he remained poised there for a long moment.

Shifting his weight slightly, he leaned over her ear and whispered,

"Do you comprehend love in that way Natalie? Selma, Sirus and I all love you in our own way, but instead of experiencing joy, or even a welcome headache, you withdraw into yourself."

He grew sad, his brow falling,

"Does it stress you so that one would love you, cherish you, want you to be their partner in life? Why? Do you wish...that I hadn't fallen for you?"

He stroked her cheek before turning. He walked to the fireplace, stretched out on the couch, and fell asleep.

[Kholdhearted]

Especially Henry.

Awesome!

Wait... what? :confused:

[Ghost]

Awesome!

Wait... what? :confused:

Yeah. I try not to think about it myself.

[Miburohunter929]

Wait... what? :confused:

You heard me. All Your Relationships Are Belong To Dean.

If Rhia has a releationship with Henry, both of them now belong to Dean.

You there, Henry is lonely. RP with him immediatly or get Mind Crushed :p :)

[Ghost]

You there, Henry is lonely. RP with him immediatly or get Mind Crushed :p :)

Sure. Do you want to set it before or after Rhia and Alexia's little make-out session?

(I personally can't keep track of the chronology anymore, see.)

[FalconX2000]

As far as I know, only the hotel scene is happening outside chronology. That is, that emotional scene with Natalie, Xellos, Sirus and Selma. In that same future, Selma is now talking with Kekowa and Xellos just had that scene I posted with Nat after she withdrew into the suite.

That's right! Alexia got there first! XD

Well, okay, it wasn't that hawt. They just kissed. (There was an implication of HLS to come, however.)

And if it's any consolation, it paradoxaly got Rhia to get over her nervousness regarding Henry.

After I suppose.

Cool.

IC: Feeling far too wound up to sleep, Rhia told Alexia she needed some fresh air and left their room.

[Kholdhearted]

Henry was on a balcony, letting the night air blow through his hair. He like Rhia was also to wound up to sleep. Though he was unaware of this. He was always avoided looking in Rhia's mind lately, afraid of what he might see or hear.

Henry let out a sigh and leaned forward on the railing.

Henry let out a sigh and leaned forward on the railing.

The rainstorm had been sudden, and the air still smelled like rain. In the far off horizon, thunder still rumbled.

But then the clouds parted, letting the light of the full moon shine down, and suddenly the tones of a bamboo flute (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5w7ToxsrUw&feature=related)drifted through the still air.

On the beach, Rhia stood on top of one of the large boulders, playing the music of her homeland in the moonlight as an offering to the winds, the stars and the everlasting sky.

[Kholdhearted]

On the beach, Rhia stood on top of one of the large boulders, playing the music of her homeland in the moonlight as an offering to the winds, the stars and the everlasting sky.

Henry saw Rhia as she sat down by the beach playing the flute. "So dazzling, talented too. Perhaps I should go talk to her, she doesn't seem too busy... thuogh I don't want to interrupt her. Ugh..." Henry said, flustered and frustrated. He honestly hated how his new feelings had him seem so helpless, he was used to being independent without a care in the world. Now? Now his heart was in the hands of this enchanting young lady and he didn't know what to do."


"Go talk to her." Sirus said, lying on the top bunk staring at the ceiling.

"Wha--"

"Shut up and go talk to her. Man up, take a chance because you don't know what you have until its gone."

Feeling a wave of strong emotions coming from Sirus, Henry decided that perhaps he was right. 'What happened that he is feeling like this? I'll have to ask him later... he's right though, I should head down there.' Henry thought before jumping off the balcony and flying towards Rhia.

'I think at least one of us should be happy, thats all.' Sirus thought to himself before curling up in bed and going to sleep.

"I didn't know you were a musician as well." Henry said as he landed next to Rhia with a smile.

[Ghost]

"I didn't know you were a musician as well." Henry said as he landed next to Rhia with a smile.

Rhia turned her head to glance at him, and smiled back. "It was part of my education, so I've had plenty of lessons. I also play a mean sitar," she added with a wink.

[FalconX2000]

Until I get to brutally massacre someone, I'm not satisfied.

You threw away your chance at Beggan, whom Xellos (after ganking him with other students, including yourself) killed by jamming his stick down its throat till it suffocated, even though it was already quite helpless.

[Froggy]

OOC: yeesh i miss a lot when i sleep :(

[Kholdhearted]

Rhia turned her head to glance at him, and smiled back. "It was part of my education, so I've had plenty of lessons. I also play a mean sitar," she added with a wink.

"Psssh, and all I'm good at is knowing what people are thinking, oh, and I apparently know german now." Henry said with a weak smile.

"Sie sind ein ausgezeichneter Musiker mein liebes."

[Miburohunter929]

You threw away your chance at Beggan, whom Xellos (after ganking him with other students, including yourself) killed by jamming his stick down its throat till it suffocated, even though it was already quite helpless.

Yeah, but that was because I didnt want to be a glory hog. Besides, there has to be *something* else that can die in a gory fashion.

....Coincidently, I need to get Dean Smoke bombs and stuff....
