Sakura

[b]OOC:[/b] The others can post about what they were doing before the meeting later because I want to get this going. [COLOR=Purple]I forgot they use ID scan cards from the game to enter the World. Everyone can make up you ID number, it's just 8 numbers. Sakura and Sutiiven made it to the Shrine, everyone was already there, some were talking, while some were by themselves. [b]"Hey guys, sorry we're a bit late."[/b] Sakura grinned. The others nodded in acceptance and they talked a little before taking off for the VR Centre devoted to Third Edge. The group walked through the doors of the large building, it was huge, with many floors so there was rarely ever a time when there wasn't room. They got a large room as usual, it had 12 VR pods though the group only used 11 of them. They all slid into the pods easily, there was a card scanner in each and they all pulled out ID cards, they had information about their World self, a picture, name, gender, class, ID number. Sakura's number was; 15021989. She played with the card and sliced it through the thin slot, it read the barcode on the back and she tucked it into her pocket, closing her eyes as she fell into the World of Third Edge.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]Sakura opened her eyes in the World, waiting patiently for the others to appear, it didn't take long at all, soon they all stood in the middle of a plain. Everyone looked different from their real self. Sakura wore all black; a black, long sleeve top with the sleeves pushed above her elbows, and long leather pants, with gloves that only reached her wrists, with her only extra accessory being her goggles that sat on top of her head. [B]"Let's go!"[/B] Sakura said happily. They mostly all had new names and different looks, but they had already gotten used to it. They headed toward the town to look for a mission to do, as usual the town was swarming with NPCs and other players, everywhere was alive with music, and they all felt as if it was real, and not just a VR game.[/COLOR] [B]OOC:[/B] I gotta go. Anyone can make up a mission for us to do, or whatever.

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Yuna strolled down the path, watching her faithful red dog try to sniff out mushrooms, Kodago was also handy to destroy the enemies around for her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]She took time to take in her surroundings of the Mushroom Kingdom, there were clouds floating in the sky, they all looked identical and had faces on them. Yuna was thinking about how peculiar it was when she saw a little bush winking at her, she raised an eyebrow and continued on her way. She couldn't help but giggle when she saw some palm trees bending from side to side in a dance.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna came across more of those floating bricks. She didn't have her guns now so she couldn't shoot them, she walked under a glowing block and seemingly out of no where a Goomba was waddling quickly toward her, she jumped up so she could flatten it, but hit her head on the block.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Ding! Poof! [/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna was confused, the glowing box was now dull. She had ended up destroying the Goomba. She wanted to try that again and climbed up to the row above the one she was under. Yuna jumped, hitting the block with her head. There was a ding again, but this time Yuna was watching, a gold coin popped out of the box, disappearing in midair.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Great, we get money, but we need mushrooms." [/b]Yuna mumbled.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Kodago barked up ahead and Yuna ran, jumping off the bricks to see what he had found. It seemed he had rammed into another block, and there was a flower blooming on it. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Well the world has nice flowers." [/b]Yuna commented, she bent down and plucked the flower below the stem where it met the block.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Suddenly it disappeared like a lot of things in the world, she was puzzled but shrugged, continuing to walk. Kodago was far up ahead, Yuna just took her time, she was soon surrounded by the gang of Koopas she had gotten rid of earlier, now they were with a large black ball on a chain, it opened it's mouth widely, snapping with it's sharp, pointy teeth.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Eh heh, no hard feelings right?" [/b]Yuna held her hands up, she was afraid of the ball more than the Koopas, she didn't think destroying it by jumping would work.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The Koopas grinned and released the chain, letting the metal ball jump forward. Yuna screamed, throwing her hands out.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Blip! Blip! Blip![/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna was confused and saw a fireball bouncing along the ground, colliding into the Koopas. She dodged the ball just as it lunged and kicked the Koopa shells at it, running ahead.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]She sped down the path and met up with Kodago, panting. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"F-Find anything?" [/b]she grinned.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Kodago shook his head with a bark, leading them on. Yuna kept up with her dog in case something like that happened again, but she was wondering about the fireball. She pressed her hand forward, away from herself and Kodago, a fireball dropped from her palm. She smirked, this would be an advantage. Yuna practised more, soon she didn't even have to think and a fireball would form, bouncing off down the way. After she thought about it, she realised that it must have been the affect of the flower she had gotten.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Kodago disappeared behind a bush and started barking furiously. Yuna rushed over and saw he was wagging his tail, panting happily. She ran her hand over his coat and bent down, picking up the mushroom.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Good boy, Kodago." [/b]she smiled, growing up another length of her normal self. Kodago now looked very short from her height.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Keep going, Kodago, go find more." [/b]Yuna told him, he woofed and trotted on, sniffing carefully, not wanting to fail his mistress.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Daine sat, looking at the slip of paper in her hands, it had two names on it; Bianca Traise and Jason Ordon. She knew who Bianca was, they had been assigned to work together for a science project earlier in the year. She was slightly disappointed that Alexander wasn't in her group, she sighed quietly and waited as she saw Bianca coming over.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Hey Bianca." [/b]she greeted cheerfully.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Bianca asked about the boy named Jason, Daine's eyes sweeped the room, even though she wasn't friends with a lot of the members of the class, she knew everyone's names. She pointed him out to Bianca and they waved him over to them.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Are you Bianca and...Daine??" [/b]he asked hesitantly.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]They nodded and Daine got him to pull a seat over. While waiting for Jason to pull a desk over, she snuck a peek at Alexander Crowne, he had a soft smile on his face as he talked about himself, and small hand gestures accentuated parts of his life.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Daine snapped out of it as soon as she heard the scraping of a chair, meaning Jason had sat down. Bianca asked who wanted to go first, but no one volunteered so she decided she would. Daine was brought to the attention that Bianca's friends called her "B". She was surprised but thought of her own name, in fact her real name was [i]Veralidaine[/i], but she shortened it to Daine and never bothered to tell anyone that she had a longer name. It wasn't a normal name for someone of Japanese origin but her parents wanted something different and they found it on the internet.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Jason told them about him and then asked Daine to go, since she was last to do so, Daine just nodded and smiled.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Alright. I'm Daine Hiwatari. I was born here in Timber Valley, but my parents are both Japanese, so I speak English and Japanese fluently. Umm...I take lots of out of school activities to keep me busy and everything I do in my out of school activities are my hobbies, but my true passion is gymnastics, which I've been taking since I was very young. Though I do like all sports and play most of them." [/b]she said to them.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Daine had noticed that Leah walked behind them to get a bathroom pass. She returned some time later, going back to her group which had Alexander in it.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Daine had listened to each person carefully, and saw Leah walk over again, not to get a bathroom pass, this time she tapped Bianca on the shoulder and pointed at Mrs. Florh who was falling asleep. Bianca got up and the two girls snuck out of the classroom, running off down the hall.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Looks like it's just you and me." [/b]Daine chuckled to Jason. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]She looked over at Alexander again who looked in a far away place, she had studied his expressions long enough to know that straight away, he was either tired or thinking hard about something. Daine smiled softly and turned her attention back to Jason.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Yuna started to hop around instead of using her bullets. She watched Mario and how he did things since Mushroom Kingdom was his world. She was surprised as she saw him jumping on the enemies to destroy them instead of using other means.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna jumped up, flattening an evil looking mushroom with feet and teeth. Soon she was having a lot of fun, but she was still searching out one of those mushrooms they were supposed to be looking for.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Soon she had wandered far out, and still no sign, she guessed the others must have gotten the ones in the close vicinity. Suddenly a row of green turtle shells rolled down the path she was on. Yuna quickly jumped over them. They slowed to a stop and a turtle on two feet with shoes, they waddled toward her before popping back into their shells, hurdling themselves at her once again. Yuna jumped on their shells this time, bouncing from one to another. That seemed to stop them, and Yuna kicked them down the path in the opposite direction she was heading.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]After a while she came across some lines of bricks floating in the sky with a few glowing boxes with question marks. She pressed the glowing box and nothing happened, Yuna guessed that she needed more power, she stood back and shot twice. A mushroom popped out of the box and started moving away.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna swore, holstering her guns and chasing after the escaping mushroom. Suddenly she saw a gang made of Goombas and Koopas and they had the mushroom, though it seemed to have no affect on them.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Hey, give me that!" [/b]Yuna called, pointing at the mushroom in their possesion.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Hahaha, finders keepers!!" [/b]they called, waddling off faster than she expected they could due to their small legs.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna gave chase, the Goomba passed it to one of the Koopas who shot ahead in his shell. As she went she squished the gang members she came across, the Goombas were soon eliminated since they were slow.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna had trouble with the Koopas, they were all in their shells, speeding down the path and they constantly swapped places with each other to make it harder for her. She was utterly stressed and finally decided to use her sphere grids again.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna traced the path back to Trainer, Kodago appeared at her side.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Go, sniff out a mushroom on them, ok?" [/b]she patted her dog.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Kodago barked in response and shot off down the way, catching up fast. She watched as he rounded them up like sheep, soon the group was huddled together out of their shells. Kodago sniffed at each before stopped at one, glaring and baring his teeth, releasing a deep, threatening growl. [/color][/size][/font][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna came up and held her hand out expectantly.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"If you don't give it to me, you'll be seriously sorry." [/b]she said after some moments of hesitation.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The Koopa extracted the red and white mushroom from his shell and gave it to Yuna, she nodded to Kodago and he barked loudly, the Koopas shot into their shells, taking off again.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna felt funny as soon as she touched the mushroom, there was a strange crunching sound, and she realised it was her bones changing shape. Soon she was at least twice her normal size. Yuna had to bend down even more to pat Kodago for his good job.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Alright Kodago, I need you to sniff out more of those mushrooms." [/b]Yuna grinned.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Kodago nodded and yipped, his little tail wagged furiously with determination and he put his muzzle to the ground, sniffing left and right. Yuna followed her faithful dog, he was a lot of help in times like this.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Yay, we completed our mission! Nice ending Takuya.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]I had so much fun with that mission, and it was great working with the rest of the [color=green]Green[/color] team, I thought we worked together really well ^__^[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]I wonder what's gonna happen next....Go [color=royalblue]Blue[/color] team!!![/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]I'd like to thank the rest of the [color=green]Green[/color] team, it was a blast for our first mission, 2 pages, yay!! I wonder if Sakura got her guns back off Era. *shrugs*[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][b]OOC: [/b]The interesting thing is, I'm in Australia, and I [i]am [/i](hopefully) graduating in 2006.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][b]EDIT: [/b]Sorry it took so long, may edit Bio later.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][b]EDIT2: [/b]Changed Bio, realised it wasn't so short. I cut out a lot and shoved it all into a small paragraph, I don't have the ability to do short ^__^;;;[/size][/font] [color=navy][font=Verdana][size=2][b]Name[/b]: Veralidaine "Daine" Hiwatari (No one knows her real name, but you can have her say so if you wish.)[/size][/font][/color] [color=navy] [font=Verdana][size=2][b]Age[/b]: 17[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][b]Gender[/b]: Female[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][b]Appearance:[/b] [url="http://img301.echo.cx/img301/5099/girls836vv.jpg"][size=2]Here[/size][/url][size=2][color=navy], Daine likes to dress in a variety of things. Usually she wears a button-up shirt of any colour and[/color][/size][size=2][color=navy] a colour of cargo pants that goes well with the shirt. Though she does wear other tops, other pants, skirts and dresses. She stands at about 5'5" and has a medium build due to gymnastics and sport.[/color][/size][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][b]Personality[/b]: Daine is quite a tomboy, but not totally since she still wears feminine clothes every now and then. She is a loyal friend and very trusting, she can open herself quite easily to others because she has a good sense of who she can trust and who she can't. Daine's understanding and caring, so lots of her friends go to her to talk about problems and/or to seek advice. She's not afraid to say what she thinks, even if it will hurt the person because she thinks everyone should have a right to know things truthfully. She's a bit of a joker and likes to play tricks on people, which people have sought after her for revenge because of that. If someone insults her honour, or anyone close to her, she will stand up and fight. She has a lot of hobbies, like playing the flute, drawing/painting, singing, and practising martial arts, but her real passion is gymnastics.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][b]Short Bio[/b]: Daine has lived in Timber Valley for as long as she can remember, growing up in an upper middle class family. Her parents are both Japanese that moved to Timber Valley before she was born[/size][/font][font=Verdana][size=2]. She's an only child, but sometimes she wishes she had a sibling, younger or older. She's a good student, finishing all her work on time, and getting awards for doing well in tests. Daine takes a lot of out of school activities like; martial arts, art classes, singing, music lessons, and playing sport, but her favourite by far is gymnastics which she excels at. Her parents never realised but the reason she takes all the out of school activities is because they're always working and never have time for her, so the activities take her mind off things.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][b]The Crush List[/b]: Alexander Crowne[/size][/font][/color]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Yuna lounged in the pilot's chair, her left knee was pressed against the edge of the control panel, her right leg was relaxed below. She was holding her sphere grids again, looking at them. Yuna touched the Thief and Warrior sphere with care and thought, they reminded her of Rikku and Paine, since those were the spheres each girl respectively wore regularly.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna lazily ran her index finger along the grooves, each time she changed her outfit. The first change was from Gunner to Trainer, then to Mascot, Warrior, Thief, and back to Gunner. The door hissed as she traced Thief back to Gunner, there was a bright flash of light, and Yuna was back in her normal clothes. She leaned back a little more to see it was Mario.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Hey Mario, take a seat." [/b]Yuna waved with her hand to any of the chairs around the area.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Thank-a you." [/b]he replied, sitting in the seat where Kuja had sat earlier.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"What's up?" [/b]she asked, continuing to change spheres.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Mario looked at her strangely.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I-a just wanted to know how-a you feel about the Team-a Council."[/b] Mario watched her changes, interested.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Well, I was upset, it's never fun to vote out a team member. Though I wasn't sure whether the sadness came from the voting, or because we lost the challenge, and [i]that [/i]led to voting. But I've gotten over it mostly, because I know that it's necessary so we can progress further in the game. At the same time, I obviously [i]don't [/i]want to go through it again, which means we gotta try our hardest at the next challenge to win!" [/b]With that Yuna pumped her fist in the air.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I-a see." [/b]Mario said, nodding wisely.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna stopped her changing when she reached her custom made dress sphere, [url="http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/907/10yunaa2lq.jpg"]Summoner[/url]. She stood and whirled around.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"What d'you think?" [/b]Yuna winked at Mario.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"It's-a nice." [/b]Mario replied nervously.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna pouted and his reply and whacked him across the head with her staff.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I travelled around all of Spira in this costume, and it cost a whole lot of gil to have a sphere made of it, so appreciate it!" [/b]she huffed.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I'm-a sorry." [/b]he sweatdropped, not knowing what to say.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna looked at him from the corner of her eye and turned her head in the other direction. She sweatdropped and looked at him again.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Sorry. This dress sphere kinda comes with my old personality too. I was quite up myself and stuff like that. But come on, Summoners are very high up in the social ranks." [/b]Yuna told him.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Mario nodded and accepted it, though he was still a little unsure of what was going on.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Do you want to see an Aeon?" [/b]Yuna questioned, clasping her hands behind her back and leaning forward with a grin.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Why-a not." [/b]the Italian shrugged.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Alright!" [/b]Yuna cheered happily, she walked over to the window and started doing a dance, twirling her staff, spinning and touching the ground.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]There was a rift outside the window and [url="http://www.kristasalter.com/gamesguru/ffx/valefor.jpg"]Valefor[/url] soared from the sky, hovering outside the window, calling to Yuna because he couldn't reach her. He pressed his head against the glass and she stroked the spot, he seemed to accept that and pulled away. Mario looked at the large bird creature in amazement before Yuna dismissed him.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Cool, huh?" [/b]Yuna laughed, she changed her sphere back to Gunner and took her seat, Mario did the same.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Yuna watched sadly as Link got off his pillow. He waved to the group as he slowly disappeared into pixel particles. She sighed, looking over as Mitsurugi finished disappearing.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Mog told them that the next challenge would be in a few days, and to rest and prepare. Yuna picked up the green orb and held it out to the others, they all touched it, including Squishy who popped his upper half out of Riku's shirt.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]There was a flash of light and they were back in the [i]Fahrenheit[/i], in the conference hall again, Yuna immediately noticed that there was one less chair since Link had been voted out.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I'll leave the orb here for anyone to access it." [/b]Yuna told them, gently placing the ball in the metal basket that sat in the centre of the table.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I think we should all take some time to rest, and then we'll meet up and talk, ok?" [/b]the others nodded and mumbled in agreement. [b]"I'll be in the cockpit if anyone needs me."[/b][/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Everyone exited the conference hall and went their seperate ways, Yuna heading straight to her favourite area. The hiss of the door greeted her as she entered. Yuna walked up to the large glass window and pressed her hand against it, looking down at Arcadia. They were currently above the ocean, and it looked so clear.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna slipped into the pilot chair and turned on the manual controls. She steered the ship until it was over land, she stopped the airship, so it just hovered in the sky. Yuna looked through the window, the towns were simple, she could see lots of things.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]She returned to her seat and lay back, just staring out the window, she wondered what happened to Link and Mitsurugi, had they been deleted from existance, or returned home to their game?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna was determined that she'd try her hardest to win the next challenge, she hated losing, and she didn't want to have to vote another member of the team off.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][b]OOC: [/b]Eh? Sounds interesting I guess, I love the Amazing Race anyway.[/size][/font] [color=navy][font=Verdana][size=2][b]Name[/b]: Sakura [b]Age[/b]: 2 years, 8 months[/size][/font][/color] [color=navy] [font=Verdana][size=2][b]Your Knowledge[/b]: Erm....I'll say about a 6 [b]Threads[/b]: 73[/size][/font][/color]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Yuna glanced up as the horn sounded, echoing throughout the dungeon.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Does that mean it's finally over?" [/b]Yuna cried in relief.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Sora patted her on the shoulder, keeping a strong grip on the remaining lemming. Yuna sighed, all the lemmings had started to move more frantically when the horn sounded, jumping into spike pits, lava, incinerates, into the way of flames. They had one remaining, there was no way they would win the challenge, but she was glad that it was finally over.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The portal appeared in front of them, the rest of her team ran through. Yuna put two fingers to her lips and emitted a sharp whistle.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Kodago, here!" [/b]she called into the dungeon.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]There was a bark in reply and her faithful red dog came galloping up to her side. Yuna stroked his back, it was covered in green goo but she still thanked him for the help. The pair of them finally walked through the portal and it closed behind her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Mog was waiting for them in the CPU, and he checked each of the teams for how many lemmings they had left. He was shocked to find out that all they had was one.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Yeah, umm...the others got away." [/b]Sora explained, opening his fist to show the last lemming, well, the only living lemming, excluding Squishy the Heartless lemming that was hidden in Riku's shirt.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]As it was now free, the remaining lemming leapt off Sora's palm to explode with a happy giggle.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b][i]'Stupid suicidal lemmings.' [/i][/b]Yuna sweatdropped.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The Red team had 15 lemmings remaining in their counter, they were all crawling over Dante with little hearts over their heads.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]But the Blue team had won once again with a total of 21 that had been kept inside Pac-man's mouth.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Green and Red had lost the challenge, and now they had to go to Team Council for the first time, where each team would lose one member.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The two teams walked over to the floating blue pillows, they were in groups of six, for each team to be together. Yuna didn't trust it, and tested it, pressing down with her hands. When she was satisfied she hopped onto it, and was pleased when it didn't move at all. The others all got on a pillow and waited.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]While Yuna waited she pulled out her sphere grids. She found the same one she had activated during the challenge, and redirected the path so she changed back to Gunner. There was a flash of light, and her dress and Kodago disappeared, she was back in her previous clothes, equipped with guns.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Mog came over and explained the rules, and told them that it was time to vote. Yuna was sad that her team had lost, but more so that they now had to vote out a member. But that was how the game was to be played, they had to vote out their friends so they could progress further in the game. Yuna reluctantly sent in her vote and waited for everyone else to do the same so they could find out the results.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Sakura and Arachnid landed on the cold sand of the shore. She made a quick shapeshift back to her human form and watched as Arachnid gently lay his cargo down.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Era? You awake?" [/b]Arachnid asked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy][b]"Arachnid?we must get back. This?it was a decoy." [/b]she answered before her eyes closed.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"A decoy?" [/b]Sakura asked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"No time to think about that for now, we have to go find Liquid and the Rogue." [/b]Arachnid replied.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Sakura shook Era. [b]"Hey, Era. Wake up." [/b]she said quietly.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Era moaned and her eyes fluttered open, looking up at Sakura. She smiled down at the other girl and gave her a hand up.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]"What were you saying about this decoy thing?" [/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I don't know, the girl told me that there's something more important happening somewhere else. We have to go." [/b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"We can't leave now, we have to rescue Liquid, and you're still tired. We'll get the Rogue first, and check on Liquid, then we can go." [/b]Arachnid reasoned.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The others nodded, they left the girl on the sand, hiding her behind some large rocks. The group ran across the wet sand, further down where they saw Liquid facing off against a man.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Sakura continued running, making a moving change, she morphed into the dark creature they had faced earlier, and used it's speed to get there faster to help out Liquid.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"You have reinforcements, that won't change the fact that you'll all die here." [/b]the Rogue laughed as he fought Liquid.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Sakura jumped into the battle, slashing at him with the large claws her morph provided. She backflipped out of range and charged forward again, he waited until she was close and let out a strong blast of fire. Sakura dashed to the left, but she was singed on her right side from not being fast enough. Sakura hissed, and Liquid took over. Arachnid and Era caught up, Era started firing immediately, picking her shots in case she shot one of her comrades. Arachnid helped to trap him with webs, letting them have a few free shots before he broke free.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Liquid sent blasts of water toward the Wizard, using all the water that surrounded her to her advantage. Liquid looked at Sakura meaningfully, looking at the ocean. Sakura understood and ran over to Arachnid, warning him. She stood beside Era and dug into the ground, putting Era into the ditch she formed and lying over it to cover the hole. As she had been doing that, Liquid summoned a large wave, making it crash over their area. Sakura breathed normally, changing her breathing at the last second. Era was in an air filled ditch, getting a little wet as the sand became saturated. Arachnid had held his breath, wrapping webs around a tree a little bit away from the shore.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The water subsided and they all got up, they looked around but the Wizard wasn't there.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Surprise!" [/b]he roared as he came down from the air, using his magic to boost him into the air, avoiding the large wave.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Sakura rolled and jumped up to meet him, they exchanged blows in midair, they blocked each other until he sent another magic spell at her, an orb of darkness, it hit her, sending her back along the ground, making a furrow with her body.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]She winced, and watched as the others continued to fight him. She slowly changed back to human, the right edge of her clothes was burnt, with holes in it and a dark burnt colour. Sakura didn't like making herself or any part of her an inanimate object, because it felt cold, since there was no warmth in it. She transformed her hands into long blades, running forward to enter the battle.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Sakura heard a hollow clicking, Era had finished the two clips of her gun, they [i]had[/i] been using them the whole day. She ran over to Era, getting her to retrieve the spare clips she always carried, since she was incapable of doing so with blade hands. Era loaded up again and resumed firing.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Sakura ran forward again, arms outstretched, they had to kill the Rogue fast, because if what Era said was true, this was only a diversion from the real thing they were supposed to be doing.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]It didn't take long for Yuna to realise how suicidal they were, soon the little critters started running [i]for [/i]her bullets, trying to get shot. Two of them had successfully run into her bullets path. Yuna cursed and realised that using her guns wasn't a good idea, because that's exactly what they wanted, another method to die. She slid the guns back into their holsters and tried to think of another way.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Mario had jumped over a small group of lemmings, only to have them scurry to his landing point, being squashed by the plumber. Yuna sweatdropped, the creatures were dropping like flies.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Kuja was still shaking himself, flinging the creatures around and eventually into a hazard.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Sora had his keyblade, he was standing still and prodding the creatures if they got too far over. He couldn't move because some of the lemmings had decided to get under his yellow, clown like shoes and had killed themselves that way.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Riku had a flood of creatures approaching him, which he was kicking away, some were hoping he would kick hard enough to send them flying, he did so on two occassions.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Umbrella!" [/b]Yuna called, Mog had said you could make the lemmings do things.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Small umbrellas appeared in their hands and they floated back to the ground with glee on their faces from the ride, only to go back to attacking Riku to see if they could go for another ride.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna realised another way and pulled out her sphere grids from the pouch. She shifted through them to find the right one, and activated a path. Her gunner outfit changed into a dress, and her faithful dog, Kodago appeared by her side. And she stood, in a new costume, [url="http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=yunatrainer0to.jpg"]Animal Trainer[/url]. Yuna sent Kodago to do some roundup duty trying not to hurt any of the little people with green hair.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna rushed over to the edge of a lava pit and plucked three little lemmings from tottering over the edge, she set them back down in a thought-of safe spot, but they moved to the other side where a pit of spikes was waiting. She ran over and picked them up from that edge, holding them in her arms instead. They were squirming and making noises, trying to climb over her. Yuna dropped them off in a corner and got the first lemming of the group to stop in front of the ledge, that provided a sufficient blockage before they decided to climb over him and plummet to their deaths in a lava pit.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]I'm trying *whimpers* But in a way I [i]do [/i]have to depend on others, because you said that if only one person posts then the team can't expect to win. But I dunno, I can't think of any good ways to protect/kill the little walking critters.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Do you know much about the game? Because I read on a site that you can give them Umbrellas, and I was wondering what that was for? Also, how does making them float, explode, block, dig, and whatever else they can do help? I have no idea about this game but I'll do my best.[/color][/size][/font]

[size=2][font=Verdana][color=navy]Go [/color][color=green][b]Green Team[/b][color=navy]!!! We can win this challenge if people post, and I'm going to have to rely on others, because I don't do humour very well at all.[/color][/color][/font][/size] [font=Verdana][size=2][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Please post!!! We need to be more active!!![/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Yuna, Kuja and Mario rushed to the conference hall, Riku stood there holding the green orb in his hands. Yuna frowned, she hadn't realised when the orb had left the cockpit. She shrugged and waited as Link entered the room. The group lay their hands on the orb and they were transported back to the CPU.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Mog told each of the teams their new mission and with that they were all teleported to the Lemmingbane Dungeon so they could start trying to protect the suicidal creatures.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna and the others all landed in a dark dungeon area. She scratched her head and looked around along with the others. It was a hell hole, with traps, firey pits, drills, cliffs and a number of other things that would get anyone killed, let alone these Lemming creatures.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Alright guys, try to keep as many of the little creatures alive as possible, even though there's all these hazards. Just do what you have to, ok?" [/b]Yuna held up the victory sign, winking.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The others nodded, and as soon as they did, an entrance opened nearby and a row of little creatures with green hair wobbled out, heading in a straight line. They realised what was happening and jumped in front of them, blocking the creatures off.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The creatures bumped against Yuna's leg, who stopped them from plummeting off a fall and turned in the other direction, toward the pit. She looked around at the rest of the team, they were protecting other small groups that had walked away from the rest of them. Yuna quickly turned back to the Lemmings she was protecting and panicked as they were about to walk off another ledge into a spiked pit. Yuna wouldn't be able to get in front of them in time, she pulled out her guns and aimed in front of them, she fired off a few shots, scaring the little creatures, they started to cry and scurried back toward her, this time climbing up a ledge they had passed.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna swore and hurried after them, taking a look at the others for how they were doing, Kuja was rushing backwards and forwards, saying things, they saw his long silver hair brushing the ground and grabbed a hold, climbing over his head and tugging at his strands. Yuna chuckled. Riku was shooing them in different directions. Sora had Lemmings crawling over him so they could continue their journey. Link was frowning, he swung his sword down a few millimetres away from the head of the line's nose. They jumped and squealed before rushing in the other direction. Mario was jumping around, trying to keep the Lemmings in a huddle.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna shook her head, she could tell it was going to be a long few days taking care of the suicidal Lemmings. Whoever created the game was warped.[/color][/size][/font]

[color=navy]What do we know about these Lemmings besides that they're suicidal? I don't understand how we're supposed to save them.[/color]

[center][font=Verdana][size=2]The thread's up in the Adventure Square[/size][/font][/center] [center][font=Verdana][size=2]Post and have fun!!!![/size][/font][/center] [center][font=Verdana][size=2][/size][/font] [/center] [center][font=Verdana][size=2][url="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?p=692276#post692276#post692276"]LINK[/url][/size][/font][/center]

For your first post, I want you to be outside of the game, then you can log in in your second post. At the end of your first post, have yourself meet with the others at the Shrine.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2]Any questions can go into the Underground thread.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=purple]Sakura walked into the park slowly, it was a beautiful spring day and the Sakura trees had started to bloom, explaining why the park was packed with bodies. She made her way through, excusing herself as she stepped over people's limbs. She walked over to a tree beside her and clambered up into the boughs, she used a hand to shield her eyes and searched the crowd. She found the mop of hair she'd been searching for. Sakura cupped her hands around her mouth and released the howl of a wolf, it was very convincing and many people actually looked around frantically in case of danger.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]The head of messy brown hair shot up and searched around, turning his gaze to the trees. He grinned and waved his arms. Sakura smirked and waved back as he made his way over to her perch. She slipped out of the tree and waited.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Hey Sutiiven, lots of people here, huh?" [/b]Sakura smiled.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Yeah, but this is what it's always like when the cherry blossoms bloom." [/b]he replied, catching a falling flower, he handed it to Sakura with a light blush.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]Sakura accepted it. [b]"Thanks. We better go, you wanted to check out my dad's facilities right?" [/b]Sakura looked at her watch and tugged on his arm, she tucked the flower behind her ear and the two ran out of the park, crossing the street carefully.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]Sakura glanced at Sutiiven, he was a casual kind of guy, wearing a pair of jeans and a simple t-shirt, today he was without his hoodie. She did love his eyes though, they were a kind of amethyst colour, and his brown hair was in it's usual organised mess. She smiled, they had been friends for quite a while, along with her other gaming friends.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]Sakura and Sutiiven stopped in front of a large building that reached up to the sky.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Welcome to GO; Game On, my father's corporation." [/b]Sakura said, entering the large doors.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]She walked past reception. [b]"Hey Kisa, this is my friend I'm bringing in to check out the stuff." [/b]Sakura held out her ID tag that hung off a string anyways.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Sure, go on through, your Mr. Hiwatari's been slaving over a project for months, he hasn't told anyone about it." [/b]Kisa smiled.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Yeah, I know. Dad's been asking me for some help on it, it's got real potential." [/b]Sakura grinned, waving and entering the elevator with Sutiiven.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]The steel doors slid shut and Sakura fished in her pocket, extracting a bunch of keys. She flicked through them and inserted one into the keyhole beside the buttons, half of the buttons were unlit, turning it. The rest of the buttons lit up besides the very last one. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"The lower few levels are the store and can be accessed by anyone. From there we've got the testing rooms, creation rooms, conference rooms, etc. The proper offices are on the highest few floors, to get to all those levels you need this key, all the employees have one, and the game testers. Now, this key is needed to access the highest of the floors, that level is entirely occupied by my dad's office, only the head of each department and I have they key." [/b]Sakura explained as she slid the second key in, turning it. The final button lit up and she pressed it, the elevator started moving upward.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]Sutiiven nodded, watching Sakura. She was wearing a simple white button-up shirt with navy blue cargos, but the look suited her well, she looked pretty in whatever she looked, especially in dresses because it accentuated her curves. Sutiiven blushed slightly at his thoughts. She was a beautiful girl, with double toned hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a slight tan. He blushed deeper and shook his head, trying to rid himself of the thoughts.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Are you ok? You look a little red." [/b]Sakura told him.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Ah, I'm fine, really." [/b]he laughed nervously, hoping she didn't know about his crush on her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"If you say so." [/b]Sakura shrugged it off, the elevator lowered, and the two of them felt the g-force. There was a ping and the elevator doors slid open.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]Sakura stepped out, her father looked up from his desk, he looked tired, but his face lit up when he saw who it was.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Sakura! Welcome back, and you've brought a friend." [/b]he said, getting up from behind his large desk.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]Sakura watched her father with a look of worry in her eyes. His hair was disheveled, he had dark bags under his eyes and his eyes held a look that told her he'd been working on it for the past few days, only getting a few hours sleep. When he was really involved in something he would stay at the office, which was big enough to house a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a bed.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Yeah dad, this is Sutiiven, I've told you about him." [/b]Sakura introduced.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Ah! You're Sutiiven, yes I have heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you, I'm Takeo Hiwatari, father of Sakura, and head of this here corporation." [/b]Takeo shook hands with Sutiiven.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Pleased to meet you, sir. I'm a fan of your games."[/b][/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]"Haha, you should thank Sakura and my team for that, without them, and her especially, they wouldn't be all that great." [/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Aw, come on dad! You came up with the ideas in the first place." [/b]Sakura laughed.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"So, was there something you wanted, Sakura?" [/b]he asked, his fingers brushed against the petals of the sakura flower that she had behind her ear.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Huh? Oh yeah, Sutiiven wanted to take a look around, is that ok, dad?" [/b]Sakura questioned.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"No, not a problem. I'll take you around myself." [/b]he straightened.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Are you sure, I mean, if you have work to do I can lead him around myself."[/b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"No no, I've been working for a long time, I think I need a break. Let's go then." [/b]Takeo led them into the elevator again and pressed the lowest button of the key accessible only buttons.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]In a few hours, Takeo led them through the entire building, letting them try the newest games they had. Sakura commented on them as she usually did, the words rolling off her tongue were professional like she was a real game critic.[/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]"Alright, thanks for the tips Sakura, I'll tell that to the team later." [/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]Finally they had finished, Takeo took them down to the ground floor and said goodbye. He shook hands with Sutiiven, who thanked him, then hugged his daughter.[/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]"Tell your mother I'll be home for dinner when you see her."[/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"Will do, bye Dad." [/b]she smiled as he waved as the doors closed.[/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080]"That was great. Thanks, Sakura." [/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080][b]"No problem, now we gotta hurry, we're supposed to meet the others at the Shrine in 10." [/b]Sakura jogged off, Sutiiven watched her before following her.[/color][/size][/font][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#800080] [/color][/size][/font][font=Verdana][size=2][color=black]Take it away guys, do whatever for your first post before meeting at the Shrine. Thanks, have fun, and enjoy![/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Yuna left the cockpit again and entered the conference hall they had been teleported to. She looked around, only Kuja was present, seated in a cushioned chair at the table, there were exactly six chairs at the table, one for each of the members of the team.[/color][/size][/font] [color=#000080][font=Verdana][size=2][b]"Hey Kuja, no one else around?" [/b]she asked.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000080][font=Verdana][size=2][b]"Ah, no. They're still exploring I think." [/b]Kuja replied, nodding.[/size][/font][/color] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna noticed that there was a wire basket in the center of the table, exactly the same as the one situated in the cockpit. She reached out her hand and shook it slightly, it was just as solid as the other. Yuna guessed there were several around the airship placed in strategic places.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I think they might take a while, do you want to check out the cockpit?" [/b]she asked him.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Sure, nothing else to do here." [/b]Kuja shrugged, standing and following Yuna through the hallways.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna entered the cockpit, taking the pilot seat. There were seats around the room for other people to sit, Kuja took the seat closest to Yuna, which was to the right, about 100 metres away.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Do you know much about airships?" [/b]Yuna questioned.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Yeah, there's a lot of them back in my world." [/b]he smiled softly, tucking his silver bangs behind his ear.[/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]"What world is that?" [/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Gaia, one of the planets in Final Fantasy IX, the other being Terra. What about you?"[/b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Final Fantasy, really? I'm in Final Fantasy X and X-2, our world is Spira. We have a few airships there, but we've got more Machina. Hey, do you think I should try this thing out?" [/b]Yuna waved at the controls in front of her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Why not? As long as you don't crash it." [/b]Kuja grinned.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna laughed and flicked the switch that controlled the Autopilot, turning it onto manual. She grabbed the U shaped wheel and pressed her foot down onto the accelerator lightly, the ship moved faster and Yuna was soon doing aerial acrobatics, hopefully not injuring any of her team mates, but then she realised that the gravity setting inside the ship adjusted itself and held everything perfectly in place. The only ones who knew that something had changed were the two of them, because they could see out the window.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Neat." [/b]Yuna beamed, turning the autopilot on again.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"You have good piloting skills." [/b]Kuja commented.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Yeah, I spent over two years in an airship, Brother let me pilot quite a lot when he got lazy, and when I begged him." [/b]Yuna winked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Hmm...don't you think we should name this ship? We can't just keep calling it the 'ship' or 'Arcadian Airship'." [/b]Kuja rubbed his chin.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I agree, I was thinking about that....I was thinking something along the lines of [i]Fahrenheit[/i]."[/b][/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"[i]Fahrenheit[/i]? Where did you come up with that?" [/b][/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Well...the airship I travelled in for over two years was named [i]Celcius[/i], so I was thinking that the other common unit of temperature measurement is [i]Fahrenheit[/i]." [/b]Yuna explained.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I see, I don't have a problem with it. And I don't think the others will really care what it's called." [/b]Kuja accepted.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Great! I know christen this ship the [i]Fahrenheit[/i], property of the Legends of the Green Gem!" [/b]Yuna explained, pumping a fist in the air.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The two of them were satisfied with the conclusion they had reached for a name of their new home. They would tell the rest of the team later when they were to meet up again. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Kuja and Yuna joked together, sharing their experiences. It turned out Kuja hadn't been the perfect character in his world, being a villain and all. They talked about the differences between their worlds, though still in the realm of Final Fantasy.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]I just thought of something.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]What world is the [color=green]Green[/color] team's ship in? Since you said the ship's from FFXII World. Are we in Arcadia like the puzzle said, or FFXII?[/color][/size][/font][/b] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Since none of the [color=green]Green[/color] team except Imi has replied about re-naming the ship, I've decided that it'll now be called Fahrenheit, unless someone disagrees? If anyone disagrees let me know.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Come on [color=green]Green[/color] Team! Post more! I can't do this on my own.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]And [color=blue]Blue[/color] Team, just curious, but how would spying on the other teams help in any way???[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Okie dokie, Sandy. Thanks for the extra info. I'll try to keep this going as long as I'm a contestant and as well as at least someone else posts after me so I can post again. ^__^[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]I just took out the OOC from my last post, so here:[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=black][b]OOC: [/b]Please note, I'm making up what the teleporter is, anyone got a better idea?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2]BTW, I know nothing about Skies of Arcadia, let alone it's Airship, so I'm making that stuff up too. I'm kinda modelling it after the Celcius (FFX-2) and Ragnarok (FFVIII).[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]The reason I put the OOC with my post is because that's where it's relevant, I'm used to it from other RPs, and typing short sentences feels like spamming for me and I don't like doing that. But if you ask us to put them here, put them here I shall, all hail Mog! *salutes*[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]I think I'm gonna have a bit of fun with this airship ^__~ Buckle your seatbelts team, we're going for a spin in my next post.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]So [color=green]Green[/color] Team, any ideas on what to name the Airship? Because I don't like calling it 'the Airship/Arcadian Airship. I was thinking [color=#000000][b]Fahrenheit [/b][/color][color=#000080]since that is your measurement over there, I think? And because it's the opposite of Celcius, which is the large twin motorcycle looking airship in Final Fantasy X-2.[/color][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=1][color=black]Green's going to be my new favourite colour soon, I think. Two RPs and in Green Team for both, along with Imi, my Legionnaire pal.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Yuna and Kuja were pleased that they had finally solved the puzzle. Mog finally revealed where their homes would be, describing each. Yuna stared at their airship that would be their new home, she was excited to get there.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Since Yuna and Kuja were closest to Mog at the time, they got the teleporter. Yuna held it in her hands and returned to the rest of the group.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Let's go home." [/b]Yuna smiled. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]She held the Green orb they had recieved by the base and stretched out her arms, the others put a hand on it. When the last hand came in contact with it, it glowed from within, making the orb glow a deeper green than the colour it was. The group of six disappeared in a flash of green light.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]They reappeared in a large hall area, they were within their new home, the Arcadian Airship. Everyone took their hands away from the orb and looked around the area. Yuna held the orb and grinned.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"How about we all go explore our new home, go find your rooms, then we'll meet back here?" [/b]Yuna said cheerfully.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]The others agreed and split up, off to explore the large airship. Yuna knew straight where she was heading. She tucked the orb under her arm and ran through the halls, all the way straight up until she came to a automatic sliding door. She pressed the button on the wall and there was a hiss as the door allowed her entrance.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna walked through the threshold, she was in the cockpit area where the ship could be piloted. She sighed happily, it reminded her of back home, safe in the Celcius with Rikku, Paine, Brother, Buddy, Shinra and Barkeep. She saw there was a strange pedestal thing with a metal wire basket that went down into the pedestal. She cocked her head to the side. Yuna's face lit up, and she carefully put the orb in the basket part, ready to catch it if it broke or something. Nothing happened, it fit perfectly. Good now there was a place to keep it, and they could take it from there when they needed to return to the CPU.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna looked out the large windows, it stretched across half of the cockpit, allowing her a 180 degree view. She put a hand against the glass and peered at the surroundings below.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b][i]'So this is the world of Arcadia.' [/i][/b]she thought silently.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna saw the piloting controls and took a seat behind the panel, lounging comfortably. She chuckled, no wonder Brother liked being pilot so much, it seemed fun just sitting in the chair. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna ran her hand over the control panel, it was steel with wood parts. The steering wheel was a U shape, with cushioning so it was easier to hold. There was pedals at her feet to for accelerator and break. There was also a clutch and a gear stick so they could go faster. There were screens that monitored everything, and meters and buttons and switches and dials. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Beside the area full of piloting things, was the other half of the panel, occupied by a keyboard and a thin, flat screen monitor. She hit the 'ON' button at the top of the keyboard and the screen lit up. She started explore, it was a database about the ship, she read the manual part of it, about how to pilot the ship, then she browsed through more files. And then she noticed that it had access to the internet.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I guess I'll be spending most of my time here then..." [/b]Yuna giggled, leaning back as she hit the 'OFF' button on the keyboard.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Her mind drifted back home, she missed Besaid, the warmth of the sand, and the warmth of friendship that existed in the small community. Yuna shook it off, she was in a different place, with different people, these people were her new team mates and she would have to get to know them and co-operate with them if they were to win challenges.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna got out of her seat and looked around the cokpit more, it was huge. After exploring, she went back to the main part of the ship. The others had found the rooms and had all picked out where they would be staying. Yuna chose the room that was between Kuja and Mario.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna explored the rest of the Airship, she bumped into Kuja a few times on her travels, just talking for a while before continuing on their way. She found the recreational rooms, the kitchen, dining room, toilets, etc.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Soon enough she had been all over the airship and returned to the cockpit. She stood at where the orb was, resting her palms on it's cool surface as she stared out at the sky of Arcadia. Yuna vowed that she would try harder on the next challenge, she was determined to do better.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Hey, let me know if I start posting too much, I've got a lot of free time on my hands since I've got holidays. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]I was wondering two things about the [color=green]Green[/color] team's new home:[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]1) Is there a proper name for it or do we just call it the Arcadian Airship?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]2) Can we fly fly around with it or is it just in one spot?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]You said that 2 contestants would be leaving, is that 2 from one team, or one from each of the losing teams?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]What's the teleporter look like? I'm kinda making it up.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Most of the teams are pretty unactive except for one or two players each side. I hope it doesn't turn into FF Survivor again, with only one team being really active and the others aren't.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]*Sighs* I'm booooored....[/color][/size][/font]

[color=navy]Hey, since we've got an airship, does that mean it's our mode of transport for challenges or whatever? If so, what about the other two teams? And one more thing, why did Blue get a [b]whole island[/b]??[/color]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=black][b]OOC: [/b]Wow, that was way hard!!! I [i]never[/i] would have guessed. Thanks for the clue though Sandy, very muchly appreciated. *Throws away home-made Scrabble tiles* *Hugs Anagram Generator*[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Yuna sighed heavily as the Blue team, followed by the Red team got their answers and told Mog, she held her breath to see whether they were right. Mog nodded to both teams and they cheered loudly.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]She frowned, they had come last and wouldn't recieve the prize, but they still had to solve the jumble of words to discover where it was they would be staying for the duration of the game, or at least while they remained in their current teams.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]She started to think it over, she had heard the answers of the other two teams; Solitary Island, and Liberty Tower. From that she suspected that the second word should be the word of a place. She tried to create a word, but she always came up short, with a word missing one or two letters. Yuna played with her long, bound braid, she gnawed her lip as she became more frustrated by the second, since she could hear the other teams congratulating each other for solving the puzzle.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna turned to Kuja as he exclaimed that he had discovered something. The others in the group kind of just stared over, Yuna shook her head and stood beside him, looking down at the feminine scrawl in the dust.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Airship." [/b]he said.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna grinned and nodded, she wrote the remaining letters again as everyone else cheered, they crossed out the used letters from Airship and continued to find the second word.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Soon Yuna's head shot up. [b]"Arcadian!"[/b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Arcadian Airship." [/b]everyone tried out the two words and nodded.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Yuna walked over with Kuja to where Mog was.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Do you have your answer, kupo?" [/b]he asked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Yes, our guess is Arcadian Airship." [/b]Yuna said, praying it was the correct answer.[/color][/size][/font]
