Revelation

Oh goodness! They are both absolutely adorable.?

Not sure how I got myself back to OB and not sure if this thread is still alive but I figured I'd come back to check it out. Thus, here I am, writing this post. I hope everyone is doing well during this pandemic and has been doing great things throughout the years that I have been gone. As for me, after my long 12 years in the Navy, I left medically retired. I am now back at home, enjoying my life on the other side as a civilian. Honestly, it's strange for me to think I had a life before the Navy; seems like the Navy is all I know. But anyway, hope to see some familiar names pop up.

[size=3][color=#0066cc]Like always, I skimmed this thread. Although, I may go back and read what everyone has said later on. It seems quite interesting enough, though. And yes, I do agree with an OB Orgy! Oooh, that sounds like an interesting RP topic. >] Now then, on to my list. First and foremost, I must say I would LOVE to do my mentor and older sister, [b]Raiha[/b]. Then [b]Ikillion[/b], [b]Vicky[/b], [b]silpheedpilot[/b], [b]Gavin[/b], [b]Boo[/b], [b]Allamorph[/b], [b]Pumpkin[/b], [b]Zen[/b], and that's all I can think of right now. There are others but I can't seem to grasp my finger around them. At least...not yet. >;][/color][/size]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3][color=#FF5511]I love the idea; however, I was looking for something a lot more brighter and with more graphics. But I LOVE the idea.[/color][/size][/font]

[color=#FF5511][size=3][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Since my arrival back to OB, I realized my banner/avatar set is somewhat outdated. At least for me it is. So, I am asking the artists of OB if they could kindly create me a new one. The only thing that I ask is that the picture be Soul Eater related, brightly coloured (very little pink, preferably), and have the phrase "Your soul is mine!" Along with that, I would like my name somewhere in the avatar and banner.[/font][/size][/color]

[font=verdana][size=2][color=#660000]Push-buttons...psh. How are you liking it so far? I'm not exactly on a shore tour. It's on a shore-based facility but we have sea-shore rotations. I'm still on sea duty. I recently got my PTS approved so once I find out if I made Second-Class or not, that'll let me know how many more years I can re-enlist.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=2][color=#660000]Glad to see I'm still known around here. And it is great being back. I'm stationed in Camp Pendleton, CA. It's a Marine base but I work with the hover crafts there. I work as a GSE and I did hear that Raiha is in Virginia. What are you going Nuke for?[/color][/size][/font]

[font=verdana][size=2][color=#660000]I cannot believe I haven't been on OB in quite some time. I'll have to scroll through the pages and see who is still here from the Olden Days. Without further ado, here are some recent pictures of me. A little FYI, I have been in the United States Navy for almost 4 years. Hence, the picture of me in my uniform.[/color][/size][/font]

[size=1][color=#0147FA][B]Name-[/B] Zhang Long Mu [Named after the Mother of Dragons] [B]Alias-[/B] Flying Dragon Crane [B]Sex-[/B] Female [B]Age/Zodiac Sign-[/B] 28/ Earth Dragon [B]Social Status/Occupation-[/B] Free Agent; Ambassador; Owner of Huang Long [Yellow Dragon] Tea House [B]Affiliation(s)/Notable Relationship(s)-[/B] Although a Free Agent, Long Mu was once part of the [B]Brotherhood of Heavenly Peace[/B]; Family friend to Silver Fairy and Bear General [B]Personality-[/B] Long Mu is a self-assured and proud woman, supportive and admired. One of very few who uphold the traditions of old China thus making her a loyal, proud and noble person. Though she may appear rational and level-headed, she has a tendency to be dogmatic, violent, and brash. In more times than less, this leads to a variety of unreported “accidents”. [B]Biography/Motivation-[/B] Where there was peace, there was war...except in Long Mu’s tea house. It was a place of solitude and quiet, camaraderie and brotherhood. The Zhang clan extended the Huang Long tea house from China to San Francisco, creating one of the most widely known franchises not owned by a Brotherhood or Sisterhood. However this may be, the Huang Long tea house is a reflection of Zhang Long Mu- how she presents herself shows how the tea house is presented. [B]Appearance-[/B] [img]http://nd03.blog.cz/853/093/4de4108043_54957001_o2.jpg[/img][/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#C82358]Oh that's brilliant. I love the colours. Except, would it be possible to make it so that the pictures are more visible? The effects are great, but it's hard to differentiate in the pictures.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#C82356]Underworld as in the movie. =P I should have been a bit clearer on that.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#C82356]I know I have said I returned once before, but this is a DEFINITE return. And as such, I would like to finalize my return with a request for a banner/avatar set. The first theme I had in mind revolves around [B]Underworld[/B]. I'd like this to be a more dark, grungy themed set. I'll leave this up for your imagination. The other theme was more upbeat that revolves around [B]Alice in Wonderland[/B]. For this, I'd like one of these two quotes: "We are all mad here." or "Curiosity often leads to trouble." This theme will be more colourful and upbeat; also with a more cartoon-ish look to it. Let me know if you have any questions about the request for those of you who'll take it.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]About a month ago I started reading [B]I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell[/B]. It's a quite funny book that entails on the escapades of a man who finds life to revolve around beer and womanizing. The actions that he partakes in aren't all that hilarious-ensued but it's the way he tells his stories. A lot of people who've read this have told me, numerous times, that it comes from a male's perspective. So there's a forewarning to those who want to read it. On a side note, I've finished Stephenie Meyer's [B]Twilight[/B] saga. As far as the movies go with the book, I'm hoping [B]New Moon[/B] will be better.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]It's been a while since I've joined an RPG. And, as always, Vicky knows how to write the ones that'll tweak my imagination. SIS forever? Anywho, since my internet is currently my phone, I won't be able to get a sign up in anytime soon, but put me down for [B]Reshef[/B]'s clan; if not that then I will take [B]Chronus[/B]'s clan. I'll try to get a sign up in as soon as I can.[/size][/color]

[quote name='Rachmaninoff']I remember when you left and why you did. Just as I wondered if you would come back or not. It's good to see you again. :)[/QUOTE] [size=1][color=#8B008B]Thank you. It does feel good to be back. I did miss this place dearly. Triad? Psh. Triads are nothing compared to SIS! MOAHAHAHA! I mean...yes.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]Hookers? Psh. How about we just lure them with the [B]Bikini Bandits[/B]? Oh and as far as how many years, I have been here approximately 7 years- give or take a few months. And there have been a plethora of awesome-ness during those years. But back to my first and foremost statement: Bring on the Bikini Bandits.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]Oh how the times have passed me. It's been [B]AGES[/B] since last I've been to OtakuBoards. Come to think of it, it's been over a year since the last time I posted - give or take a few months. That's right, most of you don't know...I joined the Navy. Yes, I signed my life away to the masses of chaos and blame. Long live idiocy and power-hungry men who want the world and more. PS: I miss OB. And I do miss talking to my loverly people here. *sighs*[/size][/color]

[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]"You think Vicky and Eriju are bringing trouble?" "Probably. Eriju would do it just to see me suffer."[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [size=1][color=#8B008B]Knock, knock. Mommy's home! And Rai, I would [i]never[/i] bring trouble just to see you suffer. Maybe torment, but not suffer. I may be sadistic but that's just down right mean. Don't you think? =P In all seriousness though, I'm glad to see that at least [i]this[/i] story hasn't ended. I'll be looking forward to more.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]The sound of the water running seemed to soothe me somewhat. I still felt shaken and I hated feeling that way. I reached for a drink in the fridge when the door knocked. With my eyes on the door, my hand reached for the switchblade hidden on my inner thigh. I flipped it open and asked who was at the door; even though all of me knew it was Kenso. And it was. I let him in and threw him a drink from the fridge. He walked further into the apartment and immediately saw the trail of clothes. [B]“Well, well. That’s one hell of an invitation, ain’t it?”[/B] Immediately the protector in me erupted. [B]“Don’t even think about it, Kenso. I’d hate to have to shank you for doing such a lowly thing like that.”[/B] He merely chuckled and picked up her clothes. I chuckled as well and took a drink of my Coke. Just as I was about to sit down, the door knocked again. My eyes shot towards Kenso and then to the door. My first instinct told me it was Mike but as I crossed the small walkway towards the door, another instinct told me otherwise. I stood near the door with my switchblade out again. My heart raced as my free hand grasped the doorknob. I opened it enough to see who was outside. It was that sliver that made me drop my blade to the ground. [B]“Holy shit. Gavin?”[/B] And here I thought he left the City for good; but it seems I was mistaken. He looked at me with concern, slowly putting the gun in the back of his pants. We exchanged a few words, most of which were a bunch of mumbles, to be honest. All I could think of was how he could be standing in Rai’s apartment. It baffled me that he was even capable of standing here; was I dreaming? I couldn’t believe Gavin was in the City in Raiha’s apartment talking to me as if nothing had ever happened. I stared at him in a dream-like state, Gavin managed to bring me out of my daze. [B]“Jae, where’s Rai and Mike, I’d like to see them if they’re around?”[/B] I walked past Gavin and picked up my switchblade, putting it back in its rightful place. My eyes stayed on the ground as I reached for a drink and threw it to Gavin. I stayed hidden from his view behind the fridge door. He called my name again and I had no choice but to look at him. [B]“You might want to sit down. By the way, this is Kenso. He’s one of the decent uniforms in the City.”[/B] The two exchanged a nod and drank their drinks. I looked to the bathroom door and back to Gavin. He took a seat, as did Kenso. I leaned against the fridge and put a hand to my mouth, wondering where I should start. After a few moments of silence, I closed my eyes and started with when he left, told him how everything went to hell and how everything began to rot around us. I told him about how Rai and Mike were surviving, how I was surviving, how everyone was surviving. I told him everything that happened and was happening. [B]“And before you showed up, something was going down on 15th. I called Rai and had her come pick me up but just as soon as she did, some prick cop pulled us over and...”[/B] I couldn’t go on but I had to tell Gavin the story. He had to know. [B]“He tried to rape her, Gav. That dumb fuck tried to rape Raiha.”[/B] As calm as he looked, Gavin was struggling not to explode. I quickly added, [B]“But thankfully Ken here saved the day like regular old Superhero or some shit. If it wasn’t for him, Rai and I would be dead and none would be the wiser.”[/B] Gavin took a gulp of his drink and set it on the table. He never took his eyes off of the bathroom door; he probably wondered what Raiha would think. I answered that question for him. [B]“Raiha thinks you’re dead, Gav. We heard news that you died. She really thinks you’re dead.”[/B][/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]I'm not an avid drinker of sodas and energy drinks but on occasion I like to dirnk [B]Starbucks Double Shot[/B], [B]Starbucks Iced Coffee[/B], [B]Full Throttle[/B], and [B]VISO[/B]. Once in a blue moon, I'll drink [B]RockStar Juiced[/B]. However, lately I've been drinking milk, [B]Starbucks Shaken Iced Green Tea[/B], and [B]Izze[/B]. It's mostly whatever I can find and how much money I've got to spend.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B][B]Alfie[/B] - About a guy who works as a limo driver and sleeps around with many many women but finds out something's wrong with him. After he finds out, he is determined to make his life right. [B]Black Sheep[/B] - The most ridiculously stupides movie I have ever seen. Okey, ONE of the most ridiculously stupidest movies. It's about mutant generated sheep who can change people into "sheeple" [sheep people] and they like to eat humans. [B]Dragon Wars[/B] - Second time watching. Second time loving the graphics and despising the outlay of the entirety of the movie. I still think it's a disgrace to Korean movies. Although, I STILL think the graphics are eyegasmic. [B][i]Movie Count:[/B][/i] 57.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B][B]Alien VS Predator[/B] - Predator kills ugly, mother-effing ***** of an Alien. Pretty much a kick-*** movie, considering Predators are the ultimate hunters. [B]Pan's Labyrinth[/B] - A story about a young girl who struggles to keep her identity as a child yet is on the verge towards preadolescence. Great reviews were given and the movie won many awards, was even on over 100 movie critics top 100 movies to watch. [B]P.S. I Love You[/B] - The story behind it all is amazing and the way everything is organized it just absolutely incredible. I'll admit, I bawled like a baby while watching this. I mean, how can you not? A man leaves behind letters and tries to get his wife to live life the way she's supposed to: without regrets and without worry. You can't NOT love it. [B]I Am Legend[/B] - A man trying to find a cure to a syndrome caused by a cure for cancer. It's quite sad that he lives life like that and even sadder that he lives with this mindset that the syndrome killed everyone and that it was his duty to find a cure and save however many people are left on earth. [B]Reign of Fire[/B] - A movie about dragons and how man comes to defeat them. Simple as that. [B][i]Movie Count:[/B][/i] 54.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]Felix?s sister looked at him with incredulous eyes. She couldn?t believe what he was saying. It was written on her face that she didn?t trust outsiders, people who never knew them from years before. She crossed her arms in an angry pout- typical teenage attribute- as her brother explained to her the things he at first didn?t know. She still didn?t relax her pose nor did the fiery betray leave her eyes. That was it. She felt he was betraying her. Juliet scoffed and shook her head as she sipped on her coke. She sighed, wishing it was a glass of Wyborowa instead. Juliet shook her head lightly and turned her attention back to Felix and his sister. They were signing furiously now, the expression on his sister?s face still angry as ever. Watching his brother and sister argue, Victor quickly came in between them. He signed as quick and as furious as his siblings, who both calmed a bit after Victor had stepped in. [B]?Sorry about that.?[/B] Juliet sipped on her coke more. Without glancing at Felix she asked, [B]?Sorry about what, boy? That you and your sister were arguing about the ties of families and how outsiders didn?t understand what you all had gone through? Or perhaps you?re sorry that you bear a responsibility on your shoulders and had nowhere to turn except to us? Or...?[/B] Juliet was now looking at Felix. His brow scrunched in a guilty yet surprised expression. [B]?Perhaps you?re sorry that all of this had happened and you wished it never did??[/B] Felix stood there silently, his expression still the same. Everyone had become silent. [B]?So tell me, boy. Which is it? Surely you have an answer??[/B] Before Felix could answer, his sister spoke first. [B]?He doesn?t have to answer you. You?re not our mother. You don?t know the first thing about him or us.? ?Did I ask you...[i]girl[/i]??[/B] The way Juliet said ?girl? made Felix?s sister drop her arms and take a step back. [B]?I do not remember asking you anything nor did I say you can speak. Speak only when you are spoken to, girl. This conversation is between your brother and me; you have no place in it.?[/B] The words flowed out like acid, burning Felix?s sister. Though she could have retaliated that with something coarse and rude, she seemed terrified of Juliet. Nam and Harry both looked down at their plates while Juliet scolded Felix?s sister with her eyes. It was one thing to want to protect family but it was another to try and demean and guilt someone. In one lithe movement, Juliet stood. She knew there was much to talk about, but so little time. She knew it would be best when everyone had their rest and were at their most alert. [B]?Where is the guest room??[/B][/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]It was still a bit early for me to leave, so I decided to stay at the Y a bit longer. Unlike Raiha, I didn’t have anyone to take care of, just me and myself. Besides, the Y was something like a safe haven to be. I was at peace there; I could think only about the music and the dance and nothing else. It was my escape from the outside world. But the guy at the front desk had to bring me back to reality when he announced he was locking up. It was only then that I realized what time it was- 9:50. I was going to be late. A trail of swears- both Korean and English- flew out of my mouth as I juggled my things in my arms while I fumbled with my car keys. Once I managed to put everything in and turn everything on, I sped down the road to my uncle’s club. The clock read 10:01. Even in the somewhat safe confines of my car, I was wary. It was one thing to work the corners at night, but it was a completely different concept to be on a corner at night. I definitely didn’t want to be caught dead doing the latter. Literally. I finally arrived at the club and parked my car in the back parking lot. Some of the girls were out taking a smoke break, teasing me as I hurried into the dressing room. I came back out wearing a hooded trench coat over a short black skirt and a low-cut red halter top with black ankle strap heels. One of the bouncers gave me a lift to my spot and wished me luck. Like I needed it. Then again, maybe I did. Everything seemed to be the same old- small gang fights, drug deals, women yelling at men, men yelling at women, children crying. Nothing was any different from yesterday or the day before, everything was the same. Except for one thing. It was too quiet. When things got quiet on the streets, it meant something was going down. I heard tires squealing and guns firing. I’d only been on the corner for less ten minutes and already, my ass was about to die. I dialed Raiha’s number and hoped to God she was home. The other receive clicked; she was home. [B]“Hey! Raiha! Can you pick me up from the corner of Smith and 17th? It looks like something’s happening on 15th. I don’t want to be there for it.” “Yeah. I’ll be right there.”[/B] Raiha and I shared a one-minute conversation about the “cholo convention” that was taking place near 15th. I heard the faint sirens grow louder and knew they were going to come down this road. I watched the corners for red and blue flashing lights. Just as I was about to curse Raiha’s bucket of a car, I saw its headlights head towards me. I flagged her down and jumped into the car before Raiha came to a full stop. The police were sitting like predators with their lights off. I told Raiha to go the way she came because they were about to turn their sirens on. She made a U-turn while I fastened my seat belt and clenched my coat tight around me. Right as she was about to turn the corner, sirens blared behind us. I sat up straight and pulled my hood over my head. From the corner of my eye I saw a policeman walk up to Raiha’s window. He tapped with the butt of his flashlight. When she rolled it down, he blinded us with its blinding light and asked Raiha a question. [B]“Do you know how fast you were going girl?”[/B] I rolled my eyes, thankful that he wasn’t able to see that. Cops always found some stupid excuse to stop people. Every cop had a superiority complex- they thought they were above the law and nothing could touch them. Raiha replied with a slight nerve-racked tone, [b]“I believe I was going 25 officer.”[/B] Being a cop, he said he caught her at 45 in a 25 zone. I cursed under my breath and watched as he told the both of us to get out of the car. Something about the cop gave me a weird vibe. Cops usually gave tickets and left; speeding never warranted for the people to get out of their cars. Something was up. I stepped out as calmly as I could. Without a word, he grabbed Raiha and pushed her onto the front of the car. Her face was slammed onto the hood while the cop held a gun towards me. So many things ran inside my head- help Raiha and get shot; run and get shot; run and break my ankle; not run and watch Raiha get mauled by this bastard...too many things. I didn’t know what to do. Raiha began to cry quietly. She began to plead with the cop but he wouldn’t have any of it. Still holding the gun towards me, he pulled her pants and threw them somewhere. With the gun still pointed towards me, he smirked and threatened to kill me if either of us did anything. I badly wanted to tell him to fuck himself in the ass, but I knew he’d hurt Raiha even worse. I felt hopeless; all I could do was close my eyes. But the sound of a somewhat familiar voice made me look desperately in the dark. All I could see in the dark was the spark from the gun and the cop falling to his knees, dropping his gun. Raiha didn’t move from the hood of the car; she laid there as the man came up to the cop. She stayed on the hood of the car as he shot the wounded cop twice before reaching him. Once he came close to the cop and Raiha, he held the gun to the cop’s forehead and shot him. Raiha was still on the hood of the car with tears rolling down her face. I began to pull off my trench coat as I walked towards Raiha. I wrapped her around it as I picked her up from the hood. [B]“Anything else that needs to be taken care of?”[/B] was all he asked.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]Someone needs to calm down, and yes, I am talking to you [B]Felix Freeman[/B]. First of all, my life does NOT revolve around the OB. Second of all, perhaps there's a slight chance that I haven't been able to think up anything to write. And lastly, I've been working my ass off for the past weeks therefore haven't had time to write anything. Which brings us back to my first point, my life doesn't revolve around the OB. With that said, I'll TRY and get something up as soon as I can.[/size][/color]
