Now, what game are you from?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Yuna: [/b]I feature in Final Fantasy X and the sequel part to that, X-2.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Mog: [/b]Yes, Yuna, kupo!

Did you bring any photos, kupo?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Yuna: [/b]Yep, here you go. [[url="http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/3299/026lm.jpg"]Pic 1[/url], [url="http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/170/018xx.jpg"]Pic 2[/url]] *Hands over two photos* The first one is just a pose shot I did for a magazine, while the second one I took with Rikku and Paine, my sphere hunting companions in Final Fantasy X-2.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Mog: [/b]Great, kupo! They'll do just fine. *Places them into an envelope* Now, kupo, how would you describe your personality?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Yuna: [/b]Hmm...that's a tough one. *Puts a finger to her lip* I guess I'm gentle and strong minded at the same time. I like to get what I want of course *giggle* I'm extra competitive, especially if someone else is after the same thing I want, like a sphere *cough*LeBlanc*cough* Sorry, had a bit of a coughing fit there. I think that I work with other people incredibly well, seeing as how I did with Tidus and the rest of the group, then with Rikku and Paine.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Mog: [/b]Hn, yes kupo! Now, *looks down at clipboard* do you have any talents, kupo?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Yuna: [/b]Well...I've got a talent with the gun *touches the dual pistols on her hips* I've got great aim. I also have the ability to change my costumes using spheres that I accumulated, and with each different costume, comes different abilities, though I usually wear this one, which is Gunner. And as if that wasn't enough, I still have the ability to summon the Aeons I collected on my quest during Final Fantasy X.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Mog: [/b]Kuporiffic! Those are excellent abilities to have, kupo. Now, the final question is, what's your motive to join Survivor, kupo? [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Yuna: [/b]I just want something to do since I finished collecting my spheres and I've been bored for a while, just lazing around. Besides, it seems like fun so yeah thought I'd give it a shot, so it's not like I need the money or something. *Grin*[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Mog: [/b]Excellent, thanks for coming, kupo. Hope I see you again.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Yuna: [/b]Thanks, kupo. ^__~[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=2][b]OOC: [/b]Sorry, still preparing for my exams.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Tesera sat with her parents, they had moved away from her self guilt and were now talking about the dragons she had called, it was just too abnormal for all of them to go haywire at the exact same time.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"I don't understand how it happened, they're so majestic and perfect.

She saw Ashwin waving, with Kira waving hyper-actively on his shoulder, and Lynn standing beside her father witha somewhat sleepy smile. She also recognised Azufe from the barracks.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"Hey there." [/b]she stood.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]They walked over and looked at the two people beside her in question.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]"These are my parents; Zephaniah and Azalea.

[/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]They nodded and the group returned to the barracks and met up with Branit, Eso, Nait and James. Eso was glad to see her safe.

[/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]They all went into a room and sat down to listen to what Tesera had to say.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]"I believe that the end result was caused by a third party, I'm not aware of whom, but I'm sure there's someone.

[/color][/size][/font][/b] [b][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]They all agreed because there was no other logical conclusion that they could come up with.

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Woah, what a thread. I've learnt a lot from this actually, there's so many people's usernames that I've gotten wrong, like Chabichou (Chab-i-chow), ULX (Zai-on), Neuvoxetere (New-vox-ee-ter) and Baron Samedi (Sam-ah-dee)[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Anyways, I've been through 3 usernames:[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Sakuramon: [/b]Sakura, explained later, with mahn on the end, like Digi[i]mon [/i]or Poké[i]mon[/i]. I used it because it was all I thought of at the time[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Ohkami: [/b]I think this one was a little harder for people. It's hard to explain, a kind of [i]Oar-kah-mee[/i] with the O long and stressed. It should actually be written Ookami, but I decided to change it cause I don't like the spelling much. I was willing to accept anyone that called me Oh-cah-mee like '[b]Oh [/b]dear' and '[b]Kami[/b]-sama' - god. The reason I chose it was because I love wolves.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][b]Sakura: [/b]Hmmm....I don't think Sakura is that hard. The proper Japanese way is [i]sah-koo-rah[/i] with each syllable very short, with the koo shortest of all, and sah is the stressed. Like [i]sa [/i]in [b]Sa[/b]rs, [i]koo [/i]in [b]Coo[/b]k, and [i]rah [/i]like [b]Ra[/b]men.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]But I don't mind if people say it the English way without the Japanese sounds [i]suh-koo-rah [/i]with the koo stressed instead. I chose this username because I love the name, love cherry blossoms - my favourite plant/flower, and I was and still am a large CCS fan (Card Captor Sakura)[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]I don't know if that explanation made sense, but there you go. It doesn't matter to me how people pronounce my username anyway, I'm not at all picky but I thought I'd just add to the thread anyway.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]And [b]^.^ [/b]whenever I say your name in my head I always think back to JJRiddler and call you JJ. Because like you said, how do you pronounce a [b]^.^[/b][/color][/size][/font]

[b]OOC: [/b]Decided to change from Trainer to a Guardian. [b]EDIT: [/b]Finished!! Let me know if I have to change anything. [color=Navy] [/color][color=Navy][b]Name:[/b] Lugia [b]Age: [/b]14 [b]Species:[/b] Lugia [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Type: [/b]Psychic/Flying [b]Attacks: [/b]Recover, Hydro Pump, Swift, Future Sight [b]Affiliation:[/b] Guardians [b]Appearance:[/b] [url="http://members.aol.com/me3146/images/lugia%5B1%5D.gif"]Here[/url], with the tattoo of the Guardians on her belly. Lugia's just a normal pokémon, despite being rare with only a few other of her species. She's a regular length of 17'1" and weighs 476 lbs. [b]Personality:[/b] Lugia is a responsible pokémon, and is quite required to be so, since her duties as the main Guardian of the Seas. She's incredibly reliable and will get everything that she's asked of, done as soon as she can. Lugia enjoys talking to humans because she's able to, and she helps to speak on behalf of the other Guardians. Lugia takes her duty as the Guardian of the Seas very seriously and is willing to do anything to protect the surrounding islands. She's confident and not afraid to tell others what to do if what they're doing is wrong. [b]Biography:[/b] Lugia was born in the seas around the Orange Islands, from birth she knew what her duty was and it was forever a goal that she worked for, to become as good as a Guardian of the Sea as her father was. The other lugia also guard the seas, but different sections of the world and only small sections, whilst Lugia herself should care for all of the seas and oceans around. Everyday her parents taught her how the ways of the Guardians, as she would eventually join the faction too. She grew fast as all lugia do and soon she soared through the skies and swam in the deep blue. She was a part of both air and sea, free to be. After her fourth birthday her parents died and she was alone, she had completed everything that she had needed to know, and now inherited the responsibility of Guardianship over all bodies of water. Lugia spent a year just guarding, getting used to it, then she sought out the Guardians. She had been expected for some time and was accepted immediately, placed up there as one of the decision-makers in the council, she was told that her opinion on things was very important since she governs the seas, especially of the Orange Island area. She was given a charge as a sort of embassador since she can speak to humans where a lot of the other pokémon are not able to. Lugia also provides aerial surveillance of large areas, and will transport other pokémon if they need to get somewhere far away in a short time, and have no other way of getting there. She is a proud member of the Guardians and the Council and takes her responsibilities seriously. [/color]

[size=2][color=Navy][color=Black][b]OOC: [/b]Sounds like a promising idea, Imi. [b]EDIT: [/b]Complete!! The snippet is before she became a defector, while she was still a slave to the SOUL Chip. I'm not sure if that's what you wanted though. Let me know if I should change anything.

And her goggles are a permanent accessory. She carries a pair of [url="http://img426.imageshack.us/img426/4462/jericho6ic.jpg"]Guns[/url] in holsters on her waist and [/size][/font][/color][size=2][font=Verdana][color=#000080]Twin Daggers [[/color][url="http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/24/yunablades3ck.jpg"][color=black]Pic 1[/color][/url][color=black], [/color][url="http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/2069/yunabladespainted3sg.jpg"][color=black]Pic 2[/color][/url][color=#000080]] that are in large, tight sheaths on her hips down to her thighs. They're wrapped tightly around her legs so they don't move much when she's being active. [/color][/font][/size][size=2][b][color=Navy] Personality:[/color][/b][/size][size=2][font=Verdana][color=#000080] Sakura is quite a cold person, she's not openly friendly to anyone unless; they can earn her trust, which is extremely hard since she has a tough time trusting anyone because of how she grew up; or she senses that they're ok. She has a strong sense of loyalty, and if you have her trust, you can count on it until she dies. Sakura is very reliable, knowledgeable, and strong in all ways. She'll never give up until she accomplishes what she set out to do. If anyone gets on her bad side, they will regret it because she will most likely challenge them to a fight, and most likely win since she hasn't lost a fight since she was implanted, and even before that she rarely lost.[/color][/font][/size] [size=2][b][color=Navy] Programme: [/color][/b][color=Navy]Sakura is skilled in all of the disciplines of combat and weaponry. She knows all the different varieties of martial arts and how to use all types of weapons. Along with her martial arts and weaponry skills, she has an excellent aim, having pinpoint accuracy with any projectile weapon. Sakura also has a large range of general knowledge of things, especially computers and programming. [/color][b][color=Navy] Feelings Towards Project SOUL: [/color][/b][color=Navy]Sakura doesn't agree with the SOUL Project because the people are used as robots, being forced to do what they don't necessarily want to. Sakura's glad that she's a defect because no one controls her. [/color][b][color=Navy] Character Snippet: [/color][/b][color=Navy]Sakura's eyes were lifeless and cold behind her thick goggles, just brown pools with no emotion held within. In her right hand she clasped one of her guns, she crept silently, the night provided sufficient cover for her. She produced a silencer from her pocket and easily screwed it on as she put her back against the wall, she cocked her gun and sprung around the corner, crouching and taking a shot at the guard that stood beside the door. He slumped to the floor with a bulletwound in his forehead. Sakura ran over and pulled the strap of his automatic rifle from his shoulder, slinging it over her own and tucking her gun back into it's holster. She grasped it and continued to move along with her mission, coldly killing anyway that guarded her way. Sakura stood in front of a door, she raised her boot and kicked it open, rolling through the entrance and spraying bullets around the room, each imbedding itself in one of the group of 15 men. She had hit one man in particular in a not so vital area. Sakura walked over and pressed the barrel of her gun against his forehead. [b]"Get up." [/b]she stated in a monotonous voice. He trembled and obeyed, pleading with her to let him go. Sakura didn't reply, but she prodded him in the back with her gun, forcing him to walk, though he did so slowly since there were a few bullets in his legs. Once she dropped him off at the station, her mission would be complete. [/color][/size]

[color=Navy]I watched Corey from across the table, he seemed deep in thought. When he lit the cigarette, I pulled a face of disgust and covered my nose and mouth from the putrid odour, I was never a fan of smoking. I coughed lightly and kept my eyes trained on him. [b]"Are you ok?" [/b]I said, trying not to inhale the smoke spewing forth from his mouth as he exhaled. He chose to take another drag before smashing the head of the cancer stick into the ashtray on the table. [b]"No, I'm not. Neither are you, so it seems." [/b]he said, his voice sounded strained as if he were holding something in. [b]"What do you mean?" [/b]I asked, I was confused of what he was implying. He stared at me, our eyes locked for a long time, before I pulled my gaze from his as a waiter approached the table. He took their orders, Corey got a black coffee, I just requested water. Corey took an unusually deep breath and opened his mouth. [/color][size=2][color=Navy][b]"I assume your family has been destroyed." [/b]I nodded, shocked that he knew such a thing. [b] "As has mine, or at least I assume. My father was killed in front of my eyes. I can only surmise that whatever is behind this has taken care of the rest of my family too. You asked if I was ok," [/b]Corey pulled another cigarette out of the pack and lit it.[b] "The answer, like I said before, is no. I feel like a coward for coming here. I should be back in my hometown BURYING MY FUCKING FAMILY!" [/b]I was in complete shock, I didn't even care about the smoke he was breathing out, my eyes widened to their extent. I knew he had been holding something in, his anger. And now he had unleashed it on her. [b] "I followed some [i]fucking[/i] voice halfway across the damn world! I've been in three airports! I haven't eaten since before this shit started! I lost my family! I lost my life! And now I'm sitting here with some [i]fucking girl[/i], wondering what the hell she is supposed to help me wi-" [/b]I was angry too, what right did he have to say these things to me. I stood as he had and slapped him hard across the cheek with my right hand. It made a resounding noise and his head snapped to the side, a red hand print very visible on his left cheek. [/color][/size][size=2][color=Navy][b]"You think I don't feel the same things?! I do! I feel exactly the way you do! [i]My [/i]parents were killed by some invisible force and I've been haunted by a voice through this thing!" [/b]I yelled, throwing my phone onto the table. [b]"I've been through three airports too! And don't you dare call me a 'fucking girl'!" [/b]I shouted at him. She had noticed him start to zone out as she spoke. [b]"Hey! Are you paying attention?!" [/b]Many people had turned to see what the commotion was. Corey rubbed the red cheek and tears spilled from his eyes. He grabbed my glass of water and threw it on his face. I didn't think I had hit him that hard. Then suddenly he let out a piercing scream and he fell from his chair, lying on the floor. I crouched beside him and touched his forehead, with my right hand, suddenly it felt like it hand been plunged into icy cold water, it went numb and I couldn't feel anything in it. I tried rubbing them together, but it didn't help at all. I tried blowing warm air onto it, and nothing. Slowly the coldness spread up my arm, and around my body, I took a gasp of air before... I stood in a dark alley way, looking out into the street. I wondered where I was, I walked out of the alley and I saw another me. I was talking with my friends, that was back when I wore bright colours, that night I had on a powder blue t-shirt and beige cargo pants. My friends stopped where their car was and asked me if I was sure that I didn't want a lift home. I shook it off, it was a fine night, perfect weather to walk home. They said goodbye and drove off, when they were out of sight, I continued my walk down the street. I recognised what was going to happen and ran out to follow the other me, I wanted to stop her, but I knew I couldn't. As the other me walked past another alley, a man stepped out from behind me and wrapped his arm around my neck. I fought but he shoved a syringe into my neck. I fell limp and he looked around quickly before picking me up bridal style and carrying me into the alley he had emerged from. I followed my past self reluctantly, I saw what was happening, and I felt like I was going through it all over again. I couldn't move, the drug he had injected me with had stopped my body from moving. I tried telling him to stop, but I felt so dizzy, everything was out of focus. He stripped me of my clothes and that night I was raped, and I could have avoided it if I only took a lift home with my friends. That's why I wear black, I lost my innocence and my happiness on that night, and I gained my fear of needles. Though I never noticed until now that the man had red eyes and sharper teeth than normal, they looked like...fangs. The street disappeared, along with myself sobbing in the alley after I had been violated. I opened my eyes, I was staring at the ceiling, back at the restaurant, Corey was over me checking to see if I was ok. I pushed him away and sat up. [b]"I'm fine." [/b]I said coldly, my attitude from right after the incident happened had returned, I was cold toward everyone. The maitre'd asked if I was ok too. [b]"I said I'm fine! I just have fainting spells." [/b]I repeated. [/color][/size]

[color=Navy]Oooh! Another Survivor!!! I don't mind what theme it takes on but I will most likely end up joining whatever is chosen. However, I would like another [b]Final Fantasy[/b] Survivor so I could get a chance to do a better job than I did last time, and hopefully go further than last time. But yeah, bring back Survivor!!! The main reason I haven't made one is because I want to participate instead of run ^__^ [/color]

[color=Navy]Tesera was about ready to give herself up to all the people that wanted her dead. [i][b]'Everything's my fault....I summoned the dragons, and they terrorized the city, and whoever wants me dead will leave the city alone when I finally die. I've done all of this, it's all my fault, no matter what Eso or anyone else says.' [/b][/i]Tesera thought, her head full of guilt. Tesera was seated beside Eso in a sector of the barracks. She made a decision and reached into her cloak, producing her crystal flute and the gem that had adorned the end of her instrument. She picked up Eso's left hand, which was closest to her and placed the two items into his grip. He looked at her with confusion written all over his face, Tesera looked him in the eye. [b]"They'll be safe with you, I know it. Thankyou again for all that you've done for me, take care, Eso." [/b]she said quietly, she kissed him on the cheek quickly. Tesera got up and dashed out of the room, moving through the halls quickly before anyone knew what had happened, she heard Eso running to catch up to her but she was fast. Tesera escaped the barracks and fled, tears were in her eyes as she ran, she didn't know what to do, should she just give herself up? Tesera bumped into someone that held her firmly by the shoulders, she squeezed her eyes shut, expecting it to be someone that wanted her dead, she was ready to accept her fate when a voice cut through. [b]"Tesera?" [/b]a deep, rich male voice said. Her eyes snapped open and she gasped, there was a familiar, smiling face. Tesera smiled honestly for the first time in quite a while, they hugged fiercely. [b]"Dad!" [/b]she cried into his shirt. [b]"Tesera, it's been so long since we've seen you." [/b]a gentle, musical voice rang through. [b]"Mum!" [/b]she hugged the woman. [b]"What are you doing, Tesera? Your eyes are all red and puffy." [/b]she smiled, wiping away the tears. [b]"This city, it was destroyed by dragons, and it's all my fault." [/b]Tesera cried, a new flood of tears errupting. [b]"Sh...I'm sure it's not your fault, come, explain what happened." [/b]her father said, leading them to a bench under a tree. Tesera told them everything that had happened, they had of course heard it by others, the reports were all bad and blamed Tesera for all that had happened to their city. When Tesera finished her tale, her parents smiled. [b]"It's not your fault Tesera. How were you to know that the dragons would go crazy and destroy everything." [/b]her father said. Tesera opened her mouth to say something but her mother cut her off. [b]"Your father's right, and you didn't make the dragons crazy, someone else did, so it's their fault." "Argh!" [/b]she cried out in frustration. [b]"Everyone's told me this, but it's my fault because I called the dragons to the city in the first place. If I never did, then none of this would have happened!" [/b]Tesera sniffled wetly. [b]"Oh Tesera....This is a power you were born with, you can't control what the dragons do though, especially when someone or something else is controlling them over you. But never give up, stay strong." [/b]her father hugged her gently, her mother hugged her from the other side. [b]"Mum...Dad...I don't know what to do...." [/b]she whispered. [b]"That's why we're here, to help by offering advice. We were the neighbouring city, and news came fast, some members of Alsoto ran over for shelter. They said it was a girl named Tesera, we knew you'd appreciate us coming, especially since we haven't seen each other in so long because of all the travelling we all do." [/b]Tesera's mother told her. [b]"It took us a while to get here though because of all the people trying to get away." [/b] [b]"I'm glad you came. I was ready to give myself to the people that want me dead." [/b]Tesera admitted. [b]"Don't, don't ever give up." [/b]her father shook her gently to emphasise his point. Tesera sat between her parents, on the bench beneath the tree. They talked, and they took her mind off everything that had happened, though she still had it in the back of her mind. Tesera was grateful to whatever force that had her parents be close enough to come over and offer comfort and guidance in her time of trouble.

[color=Navy]Sakura was very careful when they entered the room, she was sure that something was going to happen, it wouldn't be this easy. As she predicted, creatures appeared, her senses alerted her and she started to move around to make herself a harder target. She locked her gaze onto one of the creatures in particular, taking everything in. Sakura stopped in her tracts and kept her gaze on the creatures, she groaned at the new, unusual change, her body re-arranging itself to match those of the creatures. She stopped and looked at herself, she was an exact copy except for her claws, which she left different on purpose for the benefit of the others. Her senses as that of the creatures' was incredibly fast. She dashed forward, slicing through the creatures as she sped past, easily learning control of the new body. The creatures made questioning sounds as she killed them off, wondering why one of them was killing them. As they thought about that, she killed them. Sakura descimated the numbers and soon they were all gone with the help of the rest of the group. They finally moved on, and Sakura reverted to herself, flexing her fingers after spending time in that body. She stored the image into her mind so she'd be able to use it again at another point in time. The group found the light at the end of the tunnel and approached cautiously, not knowing what to expect. They followed Kaida through the door and looked around, suspecting something, anything, but there was nothing. Sakura frowned, it was way too strange, they were in a brightly lit room, with nothing in it. They carefully explored, and after searching, they couldn't find anything still. [b]"Is this the end of the line?" [/b]Arachnid questioned. Sakura knew it couldn't just end like this, she changed her nose to that of a bloodhound and started to crawl around, sniffing. She took the different scents as colours. Everyone had their own unique colour to their scent. Kaida's was green; Era was orange; Arachnid owned a pale blue; and herself was a navy blue. Then there was a grey, it didn't belong to any of them and she didn't recognise it. She followed it around the room until she was against a wall. It seemed like a dead end, but she could tell the scent continued on further. She rapped her knuckles against the wall, it sounded solid enough. Sakura tried everything, with the others watching, there was a secret to it, but she couldn't figure it out. She got frustrated and told everyone to back away. Sakura underwent another shape shift, growing larger, pale blue scales, a large, heavy tail, a long snout. When she was done, a large blue dragon took up most of the room. She faced the wall and tapped it again, each section until she found a part that sounded hollower than the others. Sakura growled and reared her head back, lashing it forward, releasing a large icy breath. The wall was encrusted in ice, and swung around, smashing it heavily with her tail. The wall shattered and Sakura examined the inside of the wall, it seemed like a key and voice recongition system. She changed back and told the group to continue, still slightly frustrated over the wall. She mumbled about it as they walked on, the others were a bit surprised and slightly humoured by her attitude over a wall. [/color]

[color=navy]I'm glad I got through, I can't wait to battle. But call me stupid all you like, I don't understand the bracket thing you made, so if you could explain it to me, that'd be great ^__^.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]Thanks,[/color] [color=#000080]~[b]Sakura[/b][/color]

And her goggles are a permanent accessory because they help her see on the further planes that demons usually hide on. There's always an item she carries tucked away in a pocket, and that's a large stick of white chalk.[/size][/font][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][b]Character Snippet[/b]: Katchya stood at attention in the centre of the room, she looked at a man sitting at a desk across from her, watching her through small spectacles that were balanced on his nose.[/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][b]"You think you're ready?" [/b]he boomed with a hint of disbelief in his voice.[/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][b]"Yes, sir." [/b]she replied, her head held up high.[/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][b]"Start, I will inspect it when you're done, and then we'll see from there." [/b]he nodded, steepling his hands as he rested his elbows on the table.[/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][b]"Yes sir." [/b]Katchya walked across the floor to a corner of the rug she had been standing on.[/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana]Kat bent down and pulled up the corner, dragging it to the diagonal corner so the wooden floorboards were revealed, they were worn from plenty of scrubbing. She walked back to the centre and reached into her pocket to reveal a piece of white chalk. Katchya had memorised the pentacle very well for this moment.[/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana]Kat drew the circle with the five pointed star within it, then she slowly moved around the circle writing the necessary runes until she was back at the beginning. She double-checked, then triple-checked before standing. She drew an identical pentacle a distance away and stood, dusting her hands off and looking at the man.[/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][b]"Done?" [/b]he got up from the chair slowly and walked around the pentacles, checking for any mistakes. He was proud, yet slightly disappointed when he found none.[/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][b]"Continue." [/b][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana][/font][/color][/size] [size=2][color=navy][font=Verdana]Katchya nodded and stepped into the second pentacle. In a loud, clear voice, she pronounced the correct incantation, and a demon appeared in the other pentacle. She had successfully completed her first summoning, she was only 9.[/font][/color][/size]

[b]OOC: [/b]Sorry I haven't posted in so long. [color=navy]When Tesera was led into the tent, she was slightly nervous because she didn't know if these people would blame her too. She stuck to Eso as he moved to the back where another man was, she had seen him at the festival.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]Tesera was introduced to him, his name was Branit. She was asked about what happened, and she had to answer the same as always, that she didn't know. She wished she knew more, she wanted to understand what happened.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]As Eso started to tell Branit of the battles they had faced, she unconsciously brought her hand up to rest on her waist where the sword was. [/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]Branit let them leave, so they slipped out of the tent and relaxed for a bit.[/color][color=#000080] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080][b]"Thankyou." [/b]Tesera said as they walked beside each other.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]Eso looked over at her. [b]"You've put your life at risk to protect me since the beginning, without hesitation. So, thankyou." [/b][/color] [b]"Don't worry about it, glad to help." [/b]Eso replied smiling. Soon enough, it was time for them to return to the Command tent again. They told Branit the entire story, when they were done, they were allowed to leave again.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]The first thing the two of them noticed were their travel companions and escorts walking over to them. The group talked for a while, seeing if anything new had come up, which nothing had.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]They walked back to Alsoto together, Tesera was scared of everyone's reactions toward her. When they entered the gate, a soldier yelled that the city should be secure, so that took a weight off her shoulders.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]As they walked through the streets, Tesera felt terrible, there was destruction everywhere, and people were still weeping and mourning for the loss of loved ones. As she walked past some, they stopped their crying and glared at her, but did nothing else. [/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]Soon it was time to say goodbye to Ashwin, Lynn, and the cute fairy creature; Kira. She was glad for their help and thanked them. She watched them walk down the road, with Kira floating around.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]As they walked further into the city, they passed a shortcut to Nait's inn, so her and James said goodbye and left. Tesera thanked them too, she was so grateful for all of their help.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]Now Tesera was left with Eso again, they walked through the ruined city, tears pooled in Tesera's eyes.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080][b]"It's all my fault." [/b]she whispered. Broken families continued to glare at her with red, puffy eyes. A tear slipped down her cheek with sorrow.[/color]

And her goggles are a permanent accessory.[/size][/font] [/color][color=navy][size=2][font=Verdana][b]Bio:[/b] Sakura was born in the slums of a corrupt city, to a woman who was a prostitute, and had conceived unbelievably. As they lived in the slums, it was dangerous and the number one rule in the streets was not to trust anyone, not even family.[/font][/size][/color] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]She was forced to learn how to protect herself from day one if she wanted to survive. Sakura's mother never helped, they had an extremely poor relationship. As a child, she often came home cut and brusied from getting into fights with others who lived in the slums. Sakura learnt how to become watchful of all things, she would pay attention to her enemy, and later would copy them to protect herself. When she was 12, she decided to get actual training, and found someone who was willing to teach her, his name was Dale. Neither of them trusted each other, but came to an uneasy, mutual agreement that they wouldn't try anything until they she stopped her training. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]Sakura learnt a large variety of martial arts from Dale, she discovered that he had previously been a monk in a large city where all they did was martial arts, but he had been ex-communicated and kicked out after he commited an unforgivable sin that he wouldn't say anything about.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]It was a year after she started her training when she had perfected her martial arts, she moved onto gymnastics and weaponry. When she started weaponry, Dale asked her which weapon she would like to mainly focus on because she would need her own for them, Sakura decided to choose twin daggers, and Dale gave her the ones she carries with her now. The two of them trained everyday until she was 17, after all of her training was perfected and complete. On that last day, the two of them fought as they did in the streets, and it was to the death. Sakura barely won, with a stab to a small, exposed part of his abdomen. Dale fell in defeat, and Sakura was ready.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]She left her prostitute mother and made her money by street fighting. Sakura proudly beat all of her previous enemies and gained much money, also forming a strong reputation. She got many challenges, and won them all. Sakura feels she can do anything if she sets her mind to it.[/color][/size][/font] [size=2][font=Verdana][color=#000080][b]Personality:[/b] Sakura is quite a cold person, she's not openly friendly to anyone unless they can earn her trust, which is extremely hard since she has a tough time trusting anyone because of how she grew up. She has a strong sense of loyalty, and if you have her trust, you can count on it until she dies. Sakura is very reliable, knowledgeable, and strong in all ways. She'll never give up until she accomplishes what she set out to do. If anyone gets on her bad side, they will regret it because she will most likely challenge them to a fight, and most likely win.[/color][/font][/size] [size=2][font=Verdana][color=#000080][b]Weapons:[/b] Twin Daggers [[/color][url="http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/24/yunablades3ck.jpg"][color=black]Pic 1[/color][/url][color=black], [/color][url="http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/2069/yunabladespainted3sg.jpg"][color=black]Pic 2[/color][/url][color=#000080]] They're in large, tight sheaths on her hips down to her thighs.

[b]OOC: [/b]I'm baaaaaaaack! ^__^ Is this the RP you were telling me about? I may edit the sign up if I can think of anything better. [font=Arial][color=navy][b]Name[/b]: Katchya "Kat" Valentine [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Appearance:[/b] [url="http://img461.imageshack.us/img461/507/0515fx.jpg"]Here[/url], make her look older I guess. She wears a white button down, collared shirt, with a navy blue, pleated skirt, with a white section between each pleat, that reaches just above her mid-thighs with navy blue ribbons in her hair. [b]Reason for coming along:[/b] Kat decided to enter for two reasons. the most dominant reason was that she's willing to accept a challenge and is competitive, and when Jacob put forth the idea, she jumped in, so as not to go against her usual personality. The second reason of course, is her love for writing, she's a good storyteller and can weave stories well. So besides the fact that it was a competition, she wanted to write the best story so she could beat everyone else.[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=navy] [b]Snippet:[/b] Katchya was perched in her favourite spot, between the high boughs of a tree that stood in a quiet area of the park, beside a small pond. She was lounging, her back leaning against one thick branch, her feet were cross and propped up on another. Her skirt was positioned in such a way that if anyone walked under her, no one would see anything. She made quiet 'thinking noises' as she gently tapped her pen against her chin repetively. A notebook sat in Kat's lap, the current page was blank. [b]"Hmm...A witch?...Perhaps too cliched." [/b]she mumbled in thought. Kat scribbled 'witch' down on the paper anyway as she planned the story. She started to think of other things that could happen to a group of characters in a 'magical' forest. Kat wanted her story to be the best out of everyone else's. Katchya started to hum a tune that she made up on the spot and sat up quickly with a grin on her face, she furiously wrote on the notebook, making a few pages of messy notes. She had inspiration and she was sure it would make a good story, may have been used before, but she believed she could revive it. Katchya finished her notes and stood in the tree, leaping down and running back to her house so she could start drafting the story. [/color][/font]

[color=navy]Lrb!! *glomps* It's been way too long, I hope you haven't forgotten me ^__^.[/color] [color=#000080]I feel like an old member, yet I've only been here for a few years, 2 or 3 I think, compared to those who have been here since V1.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]It's nice to see Braidless Baka again too.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]I wish all of the old members would come back again, I remember GinnyLyn as well, she was a good RPer.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]I wonder if everyone still remembers Final Fantastic Survivor, made by Sage. I was still quite new then but I had a lot of fun getting to know some of the other RPers.[/color]

[font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Argh, I was a n00b pretty much throughout the enitre period when I was [b]Sakuramon[/b]. That was when I first learned how to RP, and I was a shocking poster, but I'd like to think I'm much better now since time has passed and now I've had more experience. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=navy]Element X brings back a lot of memories, it was pretty fun despite most/all of us being new at the scene. Man, the first RP I participated in was a real shocker.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=#000080]But yeah, I'm not really embarrassed about it because no one's great during the learning phase.[/color][/size][/font]

[color=black][size=2][font=Verdana][b]OOC: [/b]I'm up for a little sparring.[/font][/size][/color] [color=navy][size=2][font=Verdana][b]Name:[/b] Sakura Hiwatari[/font][/size][/color] [color=navy][size=2][font=Verdana] [b]Age:[/b] 22 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [/font][/size][/color] [color=navy][size=2][font=Verdana][b]Appearance:[/b] [url="http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ai9yl.jpg"]Here I am[/url], but I usually wear a black, long sleeve top with the sleeves pushed above my elbows, and long leather pants, with gloves that only reach my wrist. The goggles are [i]always [/i]on me.[/font][/size][/color] [color=navy][size=2][font=Verdana][b]Fighting Style:[/b] I usually use quick attacks, but with many of them, so instead of relying on heavy attacks, I utilise lighter attacks, with still a good amount of force behind it. I'm more of an evasive type and I always wait until I see a perfect opening before attacking. I know a wide variety of martial arts and utilise them in fighting. I'm also very flexible, agile, acrobatic and gymnastic.[/font][/size][/color] [color=navy][size=2][font=Verdana] [b]Weapon:[/b] I'll bring the [url="http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/9195/rikkublades2xt.jpg"]Twins[/url], the main part of it's navy blue, with silver grips. I also carry a pair of [url="http://img426.imageshack.us/img426/4462/jericho6ic.jpg"]These[/url] babies in case I'm outta reach. [b]Ace:[/b] I have the ability to turn invisible for periods of up to 20 minutes, then I have to rest for at least 20 before I can do it again. [b]Why Are You Here: [/b]Indeed I am a criminal, I am a well known thief and I don't really need the prizes here, I've got enough from all my thieving jobs. Honestly? I just want a bit of competition. [b]Personality:[/b] Don't mess with me. If you leave me alone, I'll be civil, but irritate me and you're as good as dead. I could take the clothes from your body without you noticing until I waved them in front of your face. I am swift as the wind, silent as the night. I don't kill for the sake of killing, but because [i]I[/i] will be killed if I do not. As a thief, I have a cunning mind and in such, I am a great strategist. I am both rash, yet I plan my moves wisely. Don't come into a battle with me expecting a walk in the park, or you'll regret it.[/font][/size][/color]

[color=Navy]Sakura talked with Jo, about their pokémon. She looked up and saw Yuusei and Latias still playing together. They would disappear, then reappear in a game of chasey. They all boarded the ship, Sakura stood with Jo at the front, Sakura was leaning against the rails, watching the pokémon continue to play. [b]"Do you know how Latias and Yuusei were seperated in the first place?" [/b]Sakura asked. They had been friends for years and had never really thought about it. Yuusei had been injured when Jo found him, and Latias was crying and hiding. [b]"I don't know, I asked Yuusei but he doesn't remember, I think it was too traumatising." [/b]Jo replied. [b]"Latias told me that she went to sleep with Latios at night, then when she woke up, he was gone. She tried to find him but ended up being lost since they went out of their area." [/b] Sakura looked at the newly acquired pokégear and called out to Latias. She appeared and flew down until she was hovering in front of Sakura. [i][b]"You called?" [/b][/i]Latias asked, cocking her head. Sakura pointed the item at her and watched as the hologram appeared. [i]-Latias, the Psychic/Dragon pokémon. Latias is highly sensitive to the emotions of people. If it senses any hostility, this pokémon ruffles the feathers all over its body and cries shrilly to intimidate the foe.[/i][/color][i][color=Navy] Latias is highly intelligent and capable of understanding human speech. It is covered with a glass-like down. The pokémon enfolds its body with its down and refracts light to alter its appearance.- [b]"It's a good entry, quite accurate. Is that all?" [/b][/color][/i][color=Navy]Latias asked. [b]"Yeah, sure, go back to playing, if I need you I'll call." [/b]Sakura nodded, tucking the device back into her pocket. Latias smiled and sailed back into the sky where her blue counterpart was waiting. They raced across the sky happily, Sakura was glad for them. When Sakura and Jo had become friends, their pokémon met, and they two were re-connected. [b]"Free Spirits, aren't they?" [/b]Jo said quietly, watching them as well. [b]"Yeah, too bad we can't be like them." [/b]Sakura smiled. Sakura pulled out a pokéball and opened it in her hand, aiming at the sky. There was a screech and Skarmory appeared, his steel wings shining in the sun. Sakura pointed the pokégear at Skarmory to see what his said. [i]-Skarmory, the Steel/Flying type. Skarmory is entirely encased in hard, protective armor. This pokémon flies at close to 190 mph. It slashes foes with its wings that possess swordlike cutting edges.[/i][/color][i][color=Navy] Skarmory's steel wings become tattered and bashed in from repeated battles. Once a year, the battered wings grow back completely, restoring the cutting edges to their pristine state.- [/color][/i][color=Navy] Skarmory flapped around in the sky. All of her pokémon didn't really like pokéballs, but her two flying pokémon disliked them the most since they were used to being free. She watched as Latias greeted Skarmory happily in the sky, she smiled peacefully and looked down into the water, seeing several water pokémon move beneath them. [/color]

[color=Navy]Sakura had waited, trembling in anticipation. She was a bundle of nerves about what she was about to do. [b]"Ladies and gentlemen[/b][/color][size=2][color=Navy][b], we have some special events going on this evening...and I wish for you all to enjoy them." [/b] Sakura had his eyes on him when he turned his head slightly and gave a nod in her direction. Suddenly a servant appeared beside her and handed her a note. Sakura opened it and read it quickly, it was only comprised of a sentence. She tucked it into trenchcoat pocket and pushed her chair back, standing up from her seat. Sakura tried to calm her nerves and took a deep breath as she opened the tie of her coat and flung it from her body. The coat had covered all the way down to her ankles, and now what was beneath was revealed. She wore a sexy, semi-transparent, red dress that was tight, and clung to her body in some areas, but loose and flowing in others, along with a long slit up to her left thigh. She had talked to a lot of the servants earlier to prepare the whole thing out. The lights dimmed and she walked out into an open area at the opposite end of the table from where the master was sitting. There was silence, with only the sound of her heels as she walked along the wooden floor. She struck a pose and the music started slowly with a heavy beat. Sakura steeled herself from practise and changed into a different person as the music started up, she kicked out her right leg and bent her head back and stepped forward, spinning and she moved to the end of the room and she ran forward a few steps before twisting into a gymnastic routine of backflips, cartwheels and ending with her constricting her body and launching off the floor to land on the table in a laid out position, with her left arm stretched out toward the master. The music thrummed now and Sakura got up, running her hands down her body while walking along the table, nimbly avoiding the dishes, glasses and cutlery. She stopped in the middle of the long table and danced to the music sexually. Sakura finished up and struck a pose as the music ended before hopping off the table and returning to her seat, picking up her coat and just wearing it loosely since everyone had seen what she hid. Sakura was back to her regular, shy self and flushed about what she had just done. [b][color=Black]OOC: [/color][/b][color=Black]Sorry, a little rushed near the end.[/color] [/color][/size]

[b]OOC: [/b]Are we supposed to be doing something in particular? I don't like the post but I didn't know what to do. [b][color=Navy]"C'mon, just one day! You know you wanna." [/color][/b][color=Navy]Takao tempted. [b]"Takao, it's not right! What if I fall behind?" [/b]Sakura sighed. [b] "Sakura! You're the top student in your course, you'll be able to catch up easily, just come with me." [/b]her twin argued. [b]"Fine, fine...Just this once. But if I fall behind I'll kill you." [/b]Sakura groaned after half an hour of non-stop pleading. Sakura and Takao left the house shortly after the conversation ended and they headed to the main city section of Tokyo, they were squashed on the train ride there as it was packed as usual. They made their way to a café that they knew well, being family friends. The two sat at a table and didn't touch the menus, knowing immediately what to order. They greeted the waitress warmly, and they had a short chat as they ordered their regular. The plates of food were set before them and they dug in. Sakura's meal was her favourite foods for breakfast; crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, a large stack of pancakes with maple syrup and a glass of orange juice. Takao had his usual breakfast; porridge. Sakura and Takao's similarities were vast, with the main difference as their genders. They had the same almond shaped eyes with the same shade of brown. The same firm mouth and stubborn chin. They shared the same shade of tan from being outdoors, and their hair was partly black with brown from sun exposure, though Sakura's had dyed parts of her hair brown. And she hated that he was slightly taller than her. The two finished up and payed for the meal, leaving a generous tip. As they walked down the street, they both stuck their left hand into their pocket. They were so similar, yet different. They shared a lot of habits, and tastes, but different in study interests. They had always been in the same classes throughout school since they chose the same subjects, but when it came to going to university, Sakura decided to do Genetics, while Takao enrolled in a Computer Engineering course. Sakura walked around with Takao for the whole day, they went shopping and bought a whole load of things. She watched people as she always did since she discovered her powers. If she saw a possibly good disguise, she memorised their description in her mind for use at another time. There was nothing else to do, so they went home to relax. Well, Takao relaxed. Sakura pulled out her text books and looked over what they were supposed to be learning in class. [b]"Sakura!" [/b]he cried in frustration. [b]"What?! I don't want to fall behind!" [/b]she said as she read the chapter. [b]"You're such a nerd." [/b]Takao snickered playfully. [b]"Better than being a slacker." [/b]Sakura retorted. [b]"Hey, I'm a slacker that's acing the course." [/b] [b]"That's because you're always on your laptop." "And you've always got your face buried in books." "Do not!" "Do too." "Not." "Do." [/b]The two of them childishly argued but stopped when they forgot what it was they were arguing about and shrugged it off as nothing important. Sakura put away the text book and lay back on the side of her bed, Takao moved up and lay beside her, they sighed in unison and started talking about random things in their lives. [/color]

[color=Navy][i]July 31 - Evening[/i] Kat made her way back to the tavern, she had completed the job that her last client had set for her, but since he was a high up guy he had a lot of security. Unfortunately for her, she was caught by a sensor gun. It was camoflauged extremely well, and as Kat sneaked past, it released a barrage of bullets, she dodged most but one hit her arm. She made the kill and escaped quickly, disposing of a few guards that were around. Katchya entered the tavern and walked up to the bar, asking for the roll of bandage. She took it and went back over to the table where the men still sat, missing Anders who had returned to his wife. Kat sat at the table and inspected the wound through the hole in her top and took it off, esposing her breast band. They were all family and she was comfortable with doing anything, they joked around but she knew they weren't serious. She carefully pulled the bullet out and cringed, she slowly started to wrap the bandage around the wound. The door to the tavern opened and Kat looked up to see who entered, it was Ark. He looked around and approached the table, blushing at the sight of Kat without her top. [b]"U-Uh Katchya, I need a job done." [/b]he stammered. Kat nodded and clipped the bandage before slipping her top back on. She stood again and exchanged the roll of bandage for the key, going back upstairs. She pulled out Nova's file from the cabinet and started to list the details of the job, it was a spy job. [b]"Nova needs you to do an undercover with a female client. Find out information about her outside nation, and if possible, try to get information about the plot that's going on there." [/b]Ark relayed. Kat made notes on it quickly. [b]"There's no time limit, and there will be a large reward for the information." [/b] Kat nodded, she would do the job for Nova even if she didn't get paid, because Nova was incharge of the entire Guild which she was devoted to. [b]"When I've completed the mission I'll report to Beast's Lair with the information. I need to do some planning." [/b]Kat told him. [b]"Right, we'll be waiting. Thankyou." [/b]Ark stood. [b]"Not a problem, I'll always serve Nova without hesitation." [/b]Kat shook his hand and Ark left the room. Katchya planned out her idea of how she would do it, first she had to find this person, shouldn't be too hard if she talks to some fellow spies in the Guild, one should know her. Then she would have to spy on her for a while and find out her schedule, then meet up with her sometime during the schedule. After that she'd be able to discretely pry out information. Kat folded the sheet of paper that her plan was written on and slipped it into her pocket. She returned the file and exited the room. Kat left the tavern again and headed over to the hideout where all the thiefs, assassins and spies usually hung out as their small groups. She knocked on the door and they asked for a password, Kat rolled her eyes at the formality and whispered the password through the door. They admitted her entrance and she was greeted loudly. She grinned and addressed the whole room. [b]"Alright guys, this is serious, I need some info for a job but I'll need a bit of help." [/b]Katchya told them. [b]"'Ey, whatta we get for givin' ya the info?" [/b]one of them asked. [b]"Arty, it's a job directly from Nova, bud. You don't get jack. So, her name's Sharona, anyone know her?" [/b] There was silence around the room, a few quiet whispers started up. [b]"Aw, c'mon guys, it's for Nova!" [/b]she encouraged. Someone stood finally to Kat's relief. [b]"Yea, I know 'er." [/b]his gruff voice rung out. [b]"Russ!" [/b]Katchya exclaimed, making her way over. The two embraced, he had been gone for a long time and she wasn't aware that he had returned. They went somewhere more private and he gave her information, she was told where to find Sharona. Kat thanked him for the info and wrote it down on her plan. She left the hideout and headed off to the area where she should find her to start her spying. [/color]

[color=Navy]Noah had listened to Yuri's speech attentively, paying close attention to everything he said in case it was vital to the quest. When they were asked the question he had answered with a scientific perspective, that evil is evil, and cannot love or care. He was surprised at the response he got in return, he had never thought about it that way. When they were dismissed Noah debated whether he should talk to Leonardo, he hadn't been able to find him earlier. Noah decided not to, instead he would talk to him later, they'd have plenty of time to discuss things while they travelled. He returned to his quarters and brought his bag out from beneath the bed where he had stored it. He began to slip all of his items into their respective places. Noah travelled a lot and knew where everything belonged in his bag so everything would fit and sit comfortably on his back. He closed the windows he had flung open last night and took a look around the room in case he had forgotten anything. With everything taken care of, he slung the bag over his shoulder and closed the door after he exited, and went out into the courtyard again. Even though he had only stayed at the castle for a few days, it felt like a home. He wandered around, just making memories. [/color]
