[SIZE=1]Oooh, religion. [B]1. What religion are you CURRENTLY following? If you don't have one, then why?[/B] Don't have one, but I wouldn't call myself an athiest, either. I don't actually know where I stand, to be honest the thought of having a higher power in my life sickens me, but the thought of God being real and I've got no chance in heaven scares me to death. I've got a few of my own beliefs, but I doubt I'll actually post them here. [B]2. Why do you follow that religion? Parents, personal reasons, etc?[/B] Well at first I was Catholic because of my parents and my school. I didn't get a choice in the matter. When I got older my first thought was that it was all a load of crap. Everyone told me my talents were given to me by God, all this and that and I didn't like it. The silly people I live with decided that God would take credit for everything I did. So, I stopped believing. But since I grew up a Catholic it's really hard to totally ignore the fact that God might exist, my family and school rooted me pretty firmly and it's hard to get away. [B]3. Do you ever feel that people often critisize you because of these beliefs?[/B] No, because I'll tear people a part if they start picking on my belief. [B]4. This one may spark a little bit of arguing: Do you believe that your religion is the one true religion? If so provide evidence.[/B] I love this question. Yes, but I also believe that so is Christianity... and Wicca... and whatever. It's my personal belief that whatever you believe in, no matter how whacked up and stupid, if you believe it with your heart and soul then it's [I]real to you[/I], and that's good enough. The Universe is so big that it [I]has[/I] to have room for everyone's opinions, right?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][I]OOC: This might get slightly confusing now XD Only changed it but if it's okay with everyone else we're all in different cells. Most of us in pairs, I mean. Just thought it would be a better idea than the one I had. Sorry folks, lol.[/I] -------- Dani mentally made a hit list in his head. First, he was going to kill Eddie and eat his eyes. Then he was going to beat Dorian to death. The rest? ah, he didn?t know. He?d just hurt them, maybe. Another cop walked in awhile later, someone walking behind them. Dani grabbed the bars and looked up trying to see who it was. A girl, he?d never seen her before. She was probably related to one of the losers locked up. Luckily Dani was on his own so he couldn?t punch anyway; everyone else was either paired up or in another cell completely. He watched the girl stand there, looking at everyone in the cells, making Dani slightly angry. He wasn?t an animal. [B]?Take a picture, it lasts longer.?[/B] Dani shouted. The girl?s attention focused on him. [B]?I just came to ask you some questions.?[/B] She said sternly. [B]?Good luck getting anything out of him, he landed us in here.?[/B] Dorian said, rolling his eyes. Dani moved from his place and slammed himself into the bars in the cell beside him containing Dorian, giving a low snarl and placing his forehead against the bars. Although, Dorian was right. Dani wasn?t going to answer any questions anytime soon. He sat down at the front of his cell and tapped the bars, drum beats, any old beat he remembered. He got a glance or two off everyone else, indicating he was becoming annoying, but to be honest he didn?t care at all. Not one bit. Once he was out of his cell Dani was sure he?d hunt them down. He turned his head away from everyone else when he heard coughing. No one had a cold, did they? He shrugged, thinking it was probably just someone in the other cell. But it [I]did[/i] sound like it was coming from behind him. He turned back to where the girl was asking questions, not interested in her at all. Dani did, however, become interested in the silhouette behind her. He stood up again, noticing it was a rather young looking lad. Dani smirked. When the boy?s eyes met with Dani?s, Dani gave a nod and indicated for him to come over. The boy didn?t move at all. Trying to be more convincing, Dani smiled (painfully) and mouthed for the boy to come over. After awhile, the boy decided to move? quite clumsily, in fact? and Dani wasn?t sure whether his own powers had done it or the boy just wanted to come over. [B]?Excuse me, but what?re - ?[/B] [B]?Hey, kid, come here. I want to talk to you.?[/B] Dani cut the girl off who was asking the questions. Everyone turned to Dani and noticed the young lad walking over to Dani?s cell at the end. Smiling, Dani lent over the bars and studied the boy for a moment. [B]?I think you should stay away from him, he?s nothing but trouble.?[/B] Brian had warned, across the cell from Dani. Apparently everyone had figured out that Dani wasn?t the nicest guy in the world. Offended, Dani looked over at Brian sternly, giving him a warning look. Brian didn?t speak after that. [B]?So what?s your name, kid??[/B] asked Dani. The boy looked a little suspicious as he spoke, then again he also looked a little lost. [B]?I'm Moses.?[/B] [B]??Right. I?m Dani. You don?t want to listen to them lot, they?re the ones who landed me in here. You can do me a favour, if you want, you know. Do you know where the keys are??[/B] Moses didn?t reply. Dani smiled and glanced at the others. Whether they knew about their powers or not, Dani certainly knew about his. He knew that he could easily input suggestions into people, others were easier to take advantage over. This young boy who had someone managed to find his way through the cells could easily obtain the keys, and Dani?s freedom. He stared at the boy for awhile, wondering whether he should take it a step further and touch his temple like he did with Charles to make [I]sure[/I] it worked. [B]?Leave him alone.?[/B] Eddie, once again obviously trying to make an enemy of Dani, warned from the other cell. It seemed everyone was looking at Dani now, even that girl who was asking the questions. The boy was looking at him even more suspiciously, and Dani rolled his eyes. Moses began to back away and when every stopped looking Dani lent forward and grabbed Moses, just running his fingers across the side of his face briefly. [B]?I?ll show you the world if you let me go.?[/B] Dani whispered in his ear. Dani backed away after that, retreating to the edge of his cell.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Actually it would be best to change it back. Sorry ^_^;; I hate making people change thigns but if you just mention in one sentence somewhere that most of us are in different cells. Doesn't mean we all have to be seperate, maybe two to a cell would be fine. Just I'm typing up a post and I had something planned. Again, sorry XD I also feel bad that you went and found some American - English translations, so next time to save you the trouble just send me a PM for some phrases, lol.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Yuppers, you're good StarrStruck, nice to have you onboard ^_^ I was going to have the characters in one cell but it's better in different cells now that I think about it. We'll end up killing each other, haha (that's actually good, this is the kind of character conflicts I was hoping for). I've actually figured something really nifty out for the bad guy stuff and how to tie it in with the whole Zodiac thing. Stick around long enough and you'll all see. [B]EDIT: Oh ja one thing you can change Only, I think that the '------' part that seperates the OOC in your post stretches the page. I think. Well, it does on my screen anyway, so if you could make those little lines smaller on btoh posts that'd be cool.[/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Sorry Kredion, maybe next time, mate? =( I put your character in the police station anyway Eclipse, I hope that was okay ^_^;; A new chapter beings, peoplez! Go post! Nehway, I forgot about the snakes (I hope there were some) so I added a few in the post. I [I]knew[/I] I'd forgotten something. At this post, we all should know something weird is going on. Obviously it'll be a lot easier for the folks in jail to talk to characters, so anyone else can feel free to walk around the city and walk into other poeple like them. Or, if you're feeling like you want to really jump in, come and visit the police station, lie to the cops and get bullied by Dani (...or speak to someone else XD) Have fun folks! [B]EDIT: Whoops, we must have posted at the same time Ikillion, lol. If you want, since it's directly after the fight, you can have your character get dragged in late, either for the same reasons like the fight or for others, and have him get thrown in the same cell. Up to you really, I won't mind.[/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Dazed and rather confused, Dani blinked several times and try and figure out exactly what had just gone on. When he noticed the man in front of him ? fists raised and everything ? he realised he had obviously charged into the wrong person. Dani didn?t have time to think on it, though, as his new enemy had lunged forward for Dani?s throat. Quickly, Dani raised his hands to try and stop the man. He managed to grab his wrists but Dani was being choked, not to mention he felt like his palms and neck were burning. What the hell was this idiot on? The two struggled for a moment, Dani easily losing from being dazed, his throat and hands hurting so much from the heat that he just wanted to get away. He wasn?t going to have any of it. With no other option available, Dani raised his hand to the man?s temple and dug his fingers in. The shadows became thicker again and Dani stared into the man?s eyes. Dani, not entirely sure what he was doing, summoned the darkest, most disturbing and off putting image he could think of ? which wasn?t hard ? and watched as the man?s eyes widened. The two released each other in shock, it seemed there was something wrong. Dani?s curse, it worked but not entirely? some sort of feedback, probably like with Dorian, had caused more than the image to be exchanged. Information, images? Dani even knew the guy?s name: Charles. Dani turned around to Charles; the tables had been turned now. Charles was the one dazed and Dani was on the attack. Dani ran forward to Charles and raised his foot, laughing when it collided with Charles? head. Dani didn?t know Charles was a competent street fighter. He just got back up. Charles punched Dani in the jaw sending blood onto the pavement. He punched Dani again with his other fist, knocking Dani backwards. Dani looked up, his mouth so full of blood that he was drinking it and decided he was really, really pissed off now. When Charles was heading towards him to do more damage, Dani raised his knee fast and hard, right into Charles? legs? where it hurt the most. Now that definitely took Charles by surprise. He tumbled backwards onto the ground, giving Dani a chance to check what was going on around him. He caught the sight of a young looking man (Dani didn?t see who) falling to the floor after someone had attacked him and several others around and about. They were all freaks, Dani concluded, getting involved in a street fight. He looked around for Eden, slightly worried that she wasn?t okay (if she was dead then were was Dani meant to stay when his house got taken away?!). Charles got back up and Dani noticed this. Taken aback, Dani prepared himself to keep the man down once and for all. Dani had never truly used his powers to such an extent but maybe today was his chance. Suddenly the sound of sirens were heard, Dani must have missed them. He looked around frantically and noticed that there were police and riot vans everywhere, detaining people all over the street. Dani?s first instincts were to run, run fast and far. He didn?t get very far. As soon as he turned around he was met with the hard, plastic-glass shield of one of the police from the riot van. He landed on the floor with a loud crack from his already hurting jaw, opening his eyes and noticing a snake in front of him. A snake? He rolled over, rather scared, and saw the police above him, taking the snake off his mind. [B]?I didn?t do anything!?[/B] Dani protested, getting up violently only to be shunned back down by a cop?s boot. He was kept there for a moment while another police man came and locked Dani?s hands behind his back. He snarled angrily, looking to the side only for a moment to catch Charles being arrested against a wall by a dozen police men. Now that made Dani smile. After a few issues with crowd control with the growing curious faces the police had gathered as many people who they thought were involved ? which seemed like a lot of innocent people, too. Not to mention a few snakes... for some odd reason... had seemingly gathered and the police looked rather confused about that. They were obviously having a bad day as well. [CENTER] [IMG]http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/5900/giftsandcurses2ov9.png[/IMG] [/CENTER] They really [I]were[/I] having a bad day. Anyone who seemed to have been mildly involved in the fight had been kept at the reception by the police for hours. A punishment? Well it was fucking annoying. Dani had watched people walking in and out of the station, seemingly ignoring the group that were handcuffed to chairs (most of them, anyway). There was another girl there, she didn?t look like she had been involved, and Eden was there. She didn?t look like she was loving the situation at all. In fact, she was worrying Dani. Dani wasn?t allowed to get worried. He leaned over this one man, probably Spanish because that?s all he ever spoke, to see Eden. Dani was about to talk to her, but he frowned and left it. He wasn?t [I]allowed[/I] to be worried. Charles was sat across on another set of chairs from Dani with Dorian. Every now and then Charles was looking over and smiling sadistically at Dani, teasing him. When Dani caught Charles? mocking smile, he stuck his bloodied tongue out at him along with a loose tongue piercing. Charles just laughed. [B]?I?ll eat you alive??[/B] Dani said manically, licking his lips for effect put spreading blood on them. [B]?Be quiet over there!?[/B] an angry cop shouted from the desk. [B]?Moody fuckin? police ba ? ?[/B] [B]?I think you should do as he says.?[/B] A guy whispered beside Dani. Dani looked at him lazily, his jaw feeling heavy and his entire body feeling weak after the fight. [B]?Who the fuck are you??[/b] he slurred, meaning to sound like a bastard. [B]?I?m Brian.?[/B] Replied the man with a warm smile. [B]?Nice to meet you. Go shut up and die.?[/B] Dani spat back. Another hour or so went by, few words exchanged between the people sat on the chairs. Dani managed to gather everyone?s name from his brief conversations. Charles, Dorian and Eddie were sat on the other set of chairs whilst Eden, Brian, some girl called Beth and Dani were on the other side. Dani didn?t know half of them but he seemed to think he knew something about them? something strange. They were all different. All like him. He knew some of them most definitely possessed a power, but if he found out any of them really did he?d kill them. A police man, looking rather ill, annoyed and angry, walked in with a clipboard in his hand. He checked the people over, noticing a few of them with bruises, blooded faces and ripped clothing, before going back to his clipboard. He placed it in both hands and stood in the middle of them all. [B]?I want each of you to come up to the desk when I release you and tell me your name. You?ll be interviewed later on and I want to know exactly what happened.?[/B] He said, sticking out his large stomach and frowning. He came up to Eddie first on Dani?s side, who looked slightly disorientated for some odd reason (Dani didn?t remember him in the fight). He talked at the desk for awhile, gave some information, and was sat back down without the hand cuffs. Dani was next to be untied. [B]?Your full name, please.?[/B] The cop asked him, the grumpy, fatter policeman stood suspiciously behind Dani. Dani was looking around like a lost puppy, taking in his surroundings and just trying to annoy the police. He didn?t like them at all. He wasn?t going to make this easy. [B]?Your [i]name[/i].?[/B] Snarled the officer behind him. Dani looked at him in a questioning manner. He titled his head to the police officer, dying not to laugh when his bloated cheeks became red. [B]?We?ll lock you up in prison if you don?t speak!?[/B] [B]?Good, I?ve been looking for a place to sleep.?[/B] Dani laughed. The police man brought the handcuffs up to Dani?s face. [B]?Look, I?m warning you, don?t play games. I?ll lock everyone here up for the night if you want and you can laugh about it all night!?[/B] Dani?s eyes darkened. [B]?Goths like you running around the street are nothing but trouble!?[/B] Dani didn?t like that. He didn?t like being labelled. Angered, Dani spat the warm, loose blood in his mouth at the policeman, it spattered all over his eye and brought a satisfactory grin to Dani?s face. The police man wasn?t happy at all. [B]?Check them for weapons and lock them all up. [I]All[/i] of you can pay for this clown!?[/B] Dani rolled his eyes and was dragged off to the chair while they checked him for weapons.[/SIZE] ----- [SIZE=1][I]OOC: Anyone who isn't in jail it's still completely free for you. Come visit us if you think there was something strange about our characters, go meet up with everyone who isn't in jail... yeah, just some suggestions. The game begins, people.[/I][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Everything should be fine now methinks, to end the confusion anyone who was outside (that includes Brian as well) will be arrested. Kredion, once again, due to the confusion, we'll have to ignore your post. And unfortunately that's the second time, please be careful, break up your post, check it over so it's readable before you submit it. Now since I'm nice (...am I?) I'll give you three warnings. This is the second though. Next time you'll have to be out =( Sorry. So let's get this straight before I post: we have [B]Brian, Charles, Dani, Dorian, Beth, Eden[/B] and [b]Eddie[/B] sharing a cell tonight. If anyone doesn't want to be arrested, say so now and I'll remove you from my post. And tell me if I missed anyone, too. Eclipse, I know your character doesn't like violence (unless I read the wrong sign-up lol) so I'll try to shove that in somewhere. I was hoping you could have posted before we got arrested so I'd know what to do with your character, so if I screw her up, don't hesitate to tell me so and I'll fix it. Because I'm nice. When I want to be...[/SIZE]

[QUOTE=Boo][size=1]Wikipedia is your good friend. [[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollocks]Click here for information about Bollocks[/url][/size] [/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]Some sad bastard actually WROTE all that about the word bollocks? Just goes to show how colourful the language is XD I gots the entire day off school because I was 'ill', so that means postage for me today. But I'll wait for awhile until night time. Just to clear up something else that could be confusing, the fight's [B]outside[/B] (haha, sorry Ozeh =p). So anyone who wants to post before I end this chapter and get their arses landed in prison for the night with the rest of us, now's yer chance. All other characters can... I dunno, watch it on the news and figure out that they're not alone (hence, the chapter title: You're Not Alone).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][I]OOC: Okay, we had a lil' bit of a mix up. Kredion, we'll have to ignore your post for the time being as it has caused a bit of confusion. Ginkaze's as well as it carries on from Kredion's post. I'll PM you about it later Kredion. Sorry you two, and to make things clear this post is set directly after Zeke?s, directly as in no other post in the way. Once again, sorry Ginkaze. Right, basically, my next post we move on (finally) to chapter two. In this post my character will cause... how shall we say... havoc. Or at least enough of a disturbance to draw any other characters around the cafe/restaurant/wherever. That can, really, be anyone. Get involved if you like, in my next post anyone who jumps in with this little confrontation will be smacked up in a prison cell for the night. You'll see soon enough. Even those who don't get involved with the 'havoc' will still obviously notice the powers being used, which means ever character will therefore know that they're not alone. I hope I'm being clear, but you'll see soon enough. And I promise to try and not ruin anything ^_^;;[/I] It wasn't right. He wasn't right. That stupid man who had walked into Dani wasn't normal at all, he wasn't afraid of Dani at all, wasn't afraid of the shadows. There was something, undoubtedly, wrong with that man. Perhaps not as badly as Dani, but there was something there. Dani wanted to know what it was. He slowly reached for his sleeve, pulling it up a little like he was getting ready to punch the man. Then he turned away. The offender glanced over at Eden, he moved forward and moved past Dani, lightly brushing his shoulder. Dani was confused as to what was going on for a few moments until he noticed the man talking to Eden, words that Dani didn?t hear. He had taken her arm and helped her up, said something else that seemed like an apology. Why was he apologising to her? The man turned and began to walk off, leaving Dani staring after him. For the first time in awhile Dani was unsure about himself. He wasn?t sure whether he should fight in front of a woman, let alone this Eden he had met, nor was he sure why he was questioning himself. Dani snapped out of his brief moral discussion inside his head. Eden was a woman, so what? She gave him a meal, she seemed like she was somehow in the same league as Dani but no woman had ever held back Dani Anderson. He wasn?t going to start questioning himself now. He grabbed the man?s arm and pulled him backwards viciously. Dani felt his powers pumping through his veins like lightning. Dani smacked the man in the face with his free hand, a spark of dark igniting between the two. Dani, for a moment, had a connection with the man?s mind. He found out? he was Dorian, he seemed to be connected to the dark and he? ?he was just like Dani? Dorian had almost fell over his own feet and he was no doubt feeling incredibly sore, not just physically. Dani wondered if their momentarily connection worked two ways, after all, Dani was very, very good at implanting disturbing thoughts. The crowd was growing thick now, panic was settling in, voice shouting, some people contemplating whether to run into the circle and detain Dani. They didn?t. Dani couldn?t hear them at all. He couldn?t even see them properly anymore, he wasn?t even sure if Eden was still there. Shadows were becoming thicker on the ground and the crowd became aware of this. A lot of the backed away from the two but Dani wasn?t going to just let up after one hit. He ran forward to Dorian, probably not fully recovered. He proved Dani wrong, this Dorian fellow, by defending himself. Dani was met with a horrible smack to the jaw, sending him off his feet. [B]?You cocky little fucker??[/B] Dani laughed on the floor, holding his bleeding jaw. He swung his legs around and made sure his heavy boots met with Dorian?s kneecaps. The attack made Dorian back off with a loud crack, which gave Dani the chance to stand up. Then it happened, again, whilst the panic was getting much worse. The ground shuck and rumbled violently, Dani was even sure that his body was shaking. Painfully, in fact. He felt his balance falling a part inside of him, he was beginning to topple backwards by himself, still feeling painful inside. Noticing this, Dorian took his chance to keep Dani down on the ground by pushing him violently into a lamppost. The entire area was pretty much chaotic now. Darkness, the shaking, the blood on the floor from Dani?s mouth and the slightly loose lamppost after Dani?s skull collided into it. The crowds were moving away, only those who dared to wonder dared to stay. Dani dared because he started it. Disorientated, he managed to pull himself upwards, catching the sight of Dorian looking around. Maybe he was looking for Eden. Maybe he was looking for the police to come and arrest Dani. Dani closed his eyes and tried to control the thoughts in his head. The darkness grew thicker around him and only him as he stared at Dorian, not knowing his enemy was back on his feet. Angered by the mere sight of this man, Dani charged forward and pulled himself up on Dorian, wrapping his legs around his waist and pulling Dorian?s head up with his arms. There was no way in hell this ?Dorian? was going to survive the shaking of the ground and the shaking of his own sanity.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Nope, no edit nescessary. In fact it'd get even more confusing if people started editing their posts XD If your characters in the cafe where the action is (or close enough), keep 'em there. Sorry if I wasn't being clear... I spent the weekend trekking up mountains, I think the excercise fired my brain. Bollocks to anyone who says exercise is good for you.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]XD Welp, soz Kredion, but we're going to have to ignore your post as it confused me as well. Anyone can still post and I'll be posting tonight. My next post will most definitely be a new chapter as most characters will meet (or I'll post tomorrow for a new chapter, depends). Basically, I plan to kick things off. Now I'll go about this carefully, obviously, and I have an hour or so to think about it. What I want is for every character to notice each other, or notice a group of people in around the cafe with a mystery about them, and we'll find a way for some characters to keep together (hopefully most, maybe I should have the police arrest us all for disturbing the peace, lol). Like I said. I gots an hour or so before my TV programme finishes. I'll think on it. Post before me if you like, I don't mind. But remember, Kredion post doesn't count until we sort it out.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Well, since I was away, I kinda lost track of things. But I did get something written. ... a lot written, actually.I told you, I have so much free time on my hands it's stupid. Didn't upload it yet but I've done on my smaller laptop 13, 490 words, or something like that. It's about 15 pages or so right now, I guess I got bored and had nothing to do at night time this weekend >_< I won't be adding anything else to it until I actually check the last few pages to see if I'm not just rambling like an idiot. I probably did ramble, just like I'm doing now. I think I won't get it finished though. Apparently, we got some tests in school this week. Nothing important, and I also remembered I'm going trekking up mountains next week. I seriously hope they have a plug socket on those mountains...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I'd love to post tonight guys, but I'm going to bed right now and I'll be away for the weekend. Please do me a favour and post if you can. I'd also love to continue for your post Vertias, but if it's not too much trouble I geuss Eclipse will have to. Apologies for going away over the weekend, promise I be back soon, heh. Dani is totally up for grabs for anyone who wants to [strike]abuse[/strike] [strike]beat up[/strike] interact with him. Seriously, if either Eclipse, Vertias or even a new character want to come along and use their powers on Dani, have Dani use his powers... whatever, it's all fine. My character's completely up for grabs while I'm away. Don't get use to it, once I'm back he's all mine. [Oh yeah, just to annoy Prince Van, he's also away for the weekend. That's right. [I]We're both going to the same place... >=D[/I] Let's hope he doesn't read this or I'm probably going to get a slap this weekend...][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][I]OOC: I'm away until Monday, so if you wanna have your character run a head, foxtu, that's fine. Let's just say Sergei's battling some wild Pokemon for now if you want to get a head >_

[SIZE=1]Sergei and Ashin walked through Viridian Forest, looking for the two trainers they had seen before. They seemed to have ran off pretty fast, if they noticed them or not. Ah well. The two companions spent most of their time spotting the different Pokemon in the forest. Charmander was inside his Pokeball but just having a Fire Pokemon made him feel mighty proud amongst the bugs. They wouldn't stand a [I]chance[/I]. [B]"How long until we reach Pewter?"[/B] Sergei asked, bored. [B]"Maybe in a few hours. We're halfway there."[/B] Ashin, coming from Pewter herself, knew the route through the forest much better than Sergei. She was leading, of course. Sergei didn't mind following, in fact he rather enjoyed spotting all the different Pokemon around him. [B]"Hey, Ashin! Look!"[/B] Sergei suddenly shouted. Ashin turned around, noticing Sergei was pointing in the bushes. She didn't know what he was pointing at, but then it became clear; a Pokemon. A Pikachu, to be exact. The Pikachu's ears perked up at the sound of Sergei's voice and both trainers noticed that one of its ears didn't have black fur on the end. Strange. [B]"I'll catch it!"[/B] Sergei declared. However, when he released his Charmander, Pikachu gave a loud cry and ran off into the trees. Dumbfounded into thinking all Pokemon wouldn't run away, Sergei looked for Ashin for guidance, who merely shurgged. [B]"Guess it was scared."[/B] Sergei frowned, recalled Charmander, and the two continued on their way. Sergei was getting really, really bored now. The bug Pokemon were everywhere and he didn't like them. He felt that most of them were pretty weak, especially against his fire Pokemon. He wasn't interested in catching them at all. Pikachu was probably the most interesting Pokemon he had seen, but it was a bit of a coward. [B]"Are we there yet?"[/b] grumbled Sergei. [B]"No, not yet."[/B] [B]"Okay. How about now?"[/B] Ashin rolled her eyes and didn't reply. Sergei grumbled, kicking a stone into a tree. Suddenly, there was a rustling, and a small Pokemon ran out of the bushes. Another Pikachu. No, not another one, the same one! [B]"It's that Pikachu again! You won't get away this time!"[/B] Sergei yelled. He ran off into the trees after the Pikachu, speeding up in hopes of catching the Pokemon or cornering it. [B]"Sergei, wait!"[/B] ---- [I]OOC: Yeah, rather rushed, I'm tired and dying. Don't worry, I won't catch the Pikachu right away, but I do intend to. Muwahaha.[/I][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Oooh, that gave me an idea. I guess changing sides won't happen until the third chapter or so until all the characters are comfortable... but another letter. If the characters that change sides recieve a letter, convincing them or something, then that means there's a much darker force at work. Someone's very interested in the powers are characters have and hired one of our own to kill you all... that's right... [strike]you're all going to die, kids.[/strike] ...Or... something... like that... O_o Aaaannyway, you don't have to break up the fight if you don't want to. Since there's an opening, maybe the next person to post could have Dani use one of his powers (like make some dark evil thing out of the shadows that scares everyone away) then use your powers and have Dani/your own character run off. That should leave you a good chance to post without breaking up the fight, Eclipse. And any other characters a good chance to become aware that they're not alone.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Nice. Dani managed to get a free breakfast out of his rough night, he was getting to be quite confident about this act. If he was nice enough, and if he played his cards right, maybe he could end up finding himself a place to stay for a week or two. It was amazing that he hadn?t stared this person away, maybe if she wasn?t convinced enough to let him stay he?d have to convince her himself? fear was a great companion. Though there was something strange about her. The most of tremors and shaking, mostly whenever [I]she[/I] did something. For a moment, Dani thought maybe she was one of those people with those powers that advertisement was talking about. Nah, that seemed pretty impossible. [B]?I?m a magician.?[/B] Dani said, somewhat out of the blue. [B]?Hmm??[/B] [B]?Yeah, you wanted to know my job.?[/B] He began, warming up to a lie. [B]?That?s what I do. I?m a magician. A dark magician, to be exact. I entertain those teenagers who hang around at night. They?ll pay a truckload of money if you convince them they?re seeing the Anti-Christ, or a truly dark demon? or? some other crap they believe in. You know in two years time they probably change their mind about all those chains and death metal music.?[/B] Eden raised an eyebrow. [B]?You didn?t.?[/B] [B]?That?s because I?m real. I told you, I?m a [I]dark[/I] magician.?[/B] Dani gave another uncharacteristic fake smile and Eden laughed lightly. When she walked off again Dani made sure he followed. They were coming to a street were their seemed to be a few more people and already Dani felt a wave of anxiety inside him. He took out his lighter just in case, though his powers were already making his head easier to control. [B]?I?m going to be late, I have to go soon.?[/B] Eden told him, glancing back almost as if Dani were an annoying stalker. Damn. Dani twitched a little and ran to walk beside her, trying to think of something to say. All of a sudden he passed a lamppost and glimpsed a copy of the letter he had seen the night before. He ripped it off the lamppost and grabbed Eden?s shoulder lightly. [B]?Hey, wait, wait a second! Look at this!?[/B] Eden didn?t stop, she kept on walking but turned to Dani, interested in what he had to say. Dani read over the letter again for a brief moment, before running towards Eden. Unfortunately, he didn?t notice a person jogging along. If Dani had been more careful he would?ve seen, but he didn?t and he walked right into the runner. Dazed, Dani was thrown into Eden. The runner was also knocked off track a little, into the very lamppost Dani had gotten the letter from. He looked down at Dani who was awkwardly on top of Eden, though Dani himself really wasn?t too bothered about how he was lying on the floor. He just seemed pretty pissed off. Dani rolled to the side, his face on the concrete and looking around frantically for his lighter. He saw it in front of him and reached out for it, looking as though he was going to throw up or as if he was very, very ill. When he touched his silver lighter a small patch of ground around it became darker, shadowed. The shadows grew around his lighter until they were dark, Dani knew what he was doing. Voices around him, asking him if he was okay, the runner apologising, maybe even a slight tremor from Eden (he really wanted to know what that was all about). Dani shot up from the ground and walked towards a sorry looking man, who didn?t mean to cause any trouble. [B]?Why the fuck did you do that??[/B] Dani snarled, right in the runner?s face. A crowd began to emerge around the scene, confused and slightly wondrous about the lack of the light the area suddenly gained and the look of anger on Dani?s face. ---------- [I]OOC: lol, gods man, we definitely like running into each other ^_^ yeah, I just made another opening for someone. And there?s a crowd! If anyone is struggling to find a way to get involved, why not come see what Dani has to say to the runner? Muwahaha.[/I][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Welp, yep, there still hasn't been everyone who hasn't given their two cents. And as for the story moving on, give me... two more posts on my part. I'll post tonight, however I must stress everyone to be careful now with the next posts. Things can get confusing (if you want put in an OOC who you've just met or... somethin'). I won't be here on the weekend, from Friday to Monday I think, but when I get back I'll make a new post. On my third post, those who haven't met any other characters will have a huge chance to. New post = new chapter. I'll have each and every one of your characters learn that there are others like you, in the very town. Searching for the others in the next chapter is up to you guys... if we don't find you first >=) [B]M.Ali[/B], you're accepted. I was curious to see what other sign-ups we got (no offence intended there, by the way, I was just looking for two or more sheets to compare) but I've decided not to wait any longer. I guess that means the sign-ups are offically closed, therefore you're in. Do us proud, M.Ali ^_~ Oh ja, another small thing. It's not too much of a problem but anyone posting character speech, could you leave an entire blank line between each new character speaking? Many of you do this anyway, just a slight warning as because I've been a little ill my eyes are... going really weird... basically. Reading on a computer screen isn't fun ;_;[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Oi Ozy, Dani wants to try out the darkside as well! XD That aside, it's a good idea like I've already said. I guess we should see what everyone else thinks of the idea. Using already existing characters as bad guys would obviously be easier, wouldn't need to worry about any extra characters. The only problem with this is that choosing characters (I'd say only two or three) might be unfair, or other players might've wanted to be evil. I don't know yet anyway. I'll keep this in mind and we'll see how things go. Also, Kredion deleted the first post, so that means my character is still sleeping on someone's doorstep. Hehe. Go get 'im folks![/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Oh shizzle, double posting =p s'not my job to say so I'm sure a mod'll come along and merge yer posts ^_^ The next sign-up, is the answer. Well, the next sign-up I'm happy with. Anyone who wants to join for the last spot better jump in now; the first one I see that meets the standards, or I really, really like and I can trust the RPGer... they're in. I think having a set of 'darke zodiacr' villians would be cool. Though that'd mean 13 of them, and I'm not too sure about the numbers. No, I don't mean 13's unlucky, I mean that it'll be a lot of villians to keep track of. Unless... they appear one after the other, like we beat one and another jumps in to take their place, each one being stronger and stronger. Maybe that would work. I'll have to consider it, it's a good idea, thanks Darren. It's up for discussion if anyone else wants to add to it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Nidoran was already eyeing Charmander, pointing its horn forward. Sergei wanted to wait for Nidoran to make the first move, it was a tactic Sergei had learnt from watching his brothers... and Blaine, whenever he got the chance. The Nidoran kept staring at Charmander, flicking back dirt with its hind legs every now and then. It was definitely spirited. Suddenly, in a flash, Nidoran cahrged forward for a Tackle. [B]"Charmander! Move!"[/B] Sergei yelled. Charmander, instinctively rather than obeying the order, leapt to the side and went to tackle Nidoran back. Nidoran seemed to be pretty witty as well and managed to dodge Charmander's attack. [B]"Keep 'em busy Charmander."[/B] The two Pokemon didn't put much effort into their battle at first, they circled each other and occasionally tried to tackle their foe but missed. Sergei wasn't going to let this Nidoran pass. He watched the Nidoran, trying to figure something out to get an advantage, hopefully an advantage that would help them win. Afterall, Sergei knew you couldn't catch a Pokemon at full health and if the Nidoran kept dodging his Charmander they'd be there all night. Then he noticed it. Charmander almost slipped and his tail, along with its strange large flame, waved in front of Nidoran. Nidoran seemingly backed away fearfully from the flame. [B]"Charmander, back Nidoran away with your tail!"[/B] Charmander whipped his tail around at Nidoran, Nidoran flinched and backed away. Charmander then quickly leapt forward, hitting Nidoran in the side with a full on tackle. Nidoran fell backwards but upon noticing the flame wasn't in its face anymore the spirited little fighter got back up. Sergei swore under his breathe. Nidoran went for a tackle but he was a lot slower this time. [B]"Dodge and attack it, Charmander!"[/B] Quickly, Charmander jumped to the side, narrowly missing Nidoran's sharp horn. He then clawed the Nidoran with a scratch attack, knocking the Nidoran back some more. Sergei took his chance and threw the Pokeball at Nidoran. In a red glow Nidoran was absorbed into the Pokeball. The Pokeball crashed the floor and wobbled for a bit. Quite a awhile, in fact. All the time Sergei was incredibly nervous that Nidoran would break out. With such a fighting spirit he wouldn't put it past the Nidoran. Ashin and Sergei, even Charmander in fact, gave a sigh of relief when the Pokeball stopped moving and Nidoran was secure. Sergei picked up the Pokeball and sighed again, smiling nervously over at Ashin. [B]"I guess that makes us even. We both have a Pokemon each!"[/B] The two shared a light laugh before going back to the camp they had made. ----- [U]The Next Morning...[/U] Sergei awoke slowly, wanting to go back to sleep again. He closed his eyes again and rolled to one side and tried to ignore the world around him. It didn't work too well. He heard a crackling sound, followed by a burning smell. It was a pretty warm morning... maybe the sun was burning the ground. He opened his eyes again and was met with a thick grey smoke in his face. Quickly jumping up, he noticed his sleeping bag was on fire with Charmander's bright tail resting on it. [B]"Shit!"[/B] Ashin awoke suddenly along with Shinva and her Rattata, catching the sight of Sergei furiously stomping on his sleeping bag and Charmander looking at him quite nervously. When the flame was put out, Sergei collasped in a sigh of relief, giving Charmander a stern but joking look. [B]"You know, we really need to invest in a Water Pokemon for you."[/B] Charmander seemingly scratched the back of his head nervously, but Sergei gave him a smile to let his friend know he was only joking. [B]"Do you think we should head out now?"[/B] Ashin said, followed by a yawn. [B]"Probably. I think I saw a forest before we came here, past Viridian. Maybe we could check that out, unless you want to go to the Pokemon Center while were here or check out some more parts of Viridian."[/B] Sergei replied, packing up his things. [B]"I don't mind where ever we go!"[/B][/SIZE]

[I]I am the harsh words stuck in your throat.[/I] He turned over, dragging the covers up to his mouth and closing his eyes tightly. [I]In memory of our freedom I shall gloat.[/I] Dani shot up from his bed and put a hand to his forehead. He pressed down, hard, trying to push the headache out of his head. He breathed heavily until he calmed down a little. The panic and anxiety was going away, his head was blurry but it was clearing. Normally, he wouldn?t recover from being so panicky that easily? but nowadays? after that night? he was more in control. He heard the faint repeat of the words that had made him so afraid in his sleep. A song. A bloody song was playing. He fumbled around in the dark for the torch, knocking over quite a lot of crap as he did so. When he found the torch he switched it on, pointing it around his room until he found the culprit of his disturbed sleep. The small stereo was still on, the ?4:00am? still flashing on it and the track number. Swearing under his breath, Dani lay the torch on his desk and open the stereo, taking the CD out. [B]?Legion of Doom? What the fuck is this shit??[/B] he snarled at the CD in his hands in a stern, almost ?cliché? British accent. Frustrated, he began to bend it with his hands until the CD cracked from the middle. Dani was only satisfied when it broke in two; he dropped on it on the floor and walked on it, the sharp edges cutting into his feet just a bit. He took the torch with him as he wondered around his ?house?, or what was left of it. A torch was needed for light since he didn?t bother to pay his electric bills, he had next to nothing in his cupboards for food and didn?t have any water or heating, either. Dani really only used the place to store his crap and to sleep in. He would probably be kicked out of his home soon, by the neighbours complaining, his lack of effort to pay bills or some other reason. Any money Dani got he would spend on clothing, drumsticks to add to his unusual collection or any number of pointless things. They weren?t pointless to him, though. His living room was full of boxes, most empty. He looked around using his torch for eyes and pinpointed a pile of clothing on the sofa? if a mangled piece of furniture could be a sofa, that is. Dani, quite honestly, didn?t care. He hardly ever sat on it anyway, it was like his second wardrobe. He picked up a black pair of pants and pulled them on without any thought. He took up a black jacket, and pulled it on, not really caring much for a t-shirt. After ?getting dressed?, he sat there for a moment, the torch shining in his face, wondering what to do with himself. Rubbing his eyes, he decided a morning stroll was the thing for him. So that?s what he did. It was wet outside from the rain just hours before. And dark, only lit up by the orange streetlights. It was terribly cold morning even for winter, the streets were, as to be expected, deserted and lonely. Only Dani was walking tonight and he was still annoyed that his sleep was interrupted. His awakening had caused his concentration to be put off, he was feeling very, very like his old self and he didn?t like it. He didn?t like it when his emotions rose to the surface. There was a wall plastered with notices and posters beside him. Curiously, Dani began to read them. Concert advertisements, job applications, random pieces of paper? [B]?Nobody wants to hear this.?[/B] He told the wall. Slowly he clawed at the pieces of paper, ripping them off one by one and only glancing at them briefly. He started laughing to himself, walking along the wall and ripping the paper off as he did, only reading a few of them. [B]?I don?t care about your stupid Thronopgrahy concert, nobody wants to work in a fuckin? café, I hope your lost dog gets run over, you can?t sing, nobody cares??[/B] He trailed off and stopped in his tracks at what he was reading now. His ?nobody cares? comment was certainly a lie, because he did care now. He wasn?t sure if what he was reading was true or some kind of fictional advertisement? but it definitely stirred an interest in Dani. [CENTER][I][B]Zodiac: The Gifts and the Curses![/B] Come and see the wonder of the 21st century, a once in a life time chance to witness the power of the stars! For centuries, mankind has fabricated legends around these birth signs and many people believed them. The stars were the key to our curiosity, they always have been. But many people believe the myths around birth signs and the zodiac to simply be fantasy, a lucky guess at our personalities. The stars had granted us scared nights in which we are at our best, qualities for our personalities beyond our imagination and now they offer us one more thing: power! Many, of course, will not believe this. We invite you to witness evidence that the stars themselves have granted several chosen ones unlimited power! Come to the Harlem Academy to learn more about these secret, gifted humans! From burning objects to the touch, breathing deadly gases and enforces dark images into ones mind?[/I][/CENTER] Dani stopped reading there. He felt his body tense up at the thought that other people were like him. Someone was [I]granted[/I] a gift just like him? He wasn?t granted a gift, Dani was cursed with it and he had to go through torture just to make his unique power work for him! Years of suffering, he knew that whoever these other people were, they obviously didn?t go through any of it. And it was probably a lie, too! Dani was officially jealous. People had been given, like Christmas cards, something he went through hell for and still pays the price? [B]?Fuck ? You!?[/B] He threw the paper on the floor in frustration and stomped on it with his foot several times. He really wasn?t happy. Leaving the paper to rot in the damp ground, he walked off, taking out his lighter. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine? He kept counting until he calmed down, until enough was enough. He was calm but still pissed off, greatly pissed off. He would lay [I]waste[/i] to anyone who claimed to have the same gifts as him. He?d make them cut their own eyes out and eat them! When he moved into the middle of the road it seemed the shadows followed him. Then it became unnatural. The wall with the posters on it and even the very ground he walked on became engulfed in black, creeping black, like living colour (or rather lack of colour). It wasn?t long until this dark blanket began to shift, more colours emerging. Mostly reds and pale oranges, all twisting around the make images on the black void. It was like the void became a blank wall so that images could be projected onto it, real images, like real life touching you, real death. They weren?t very nice images? but, then again, Dani?s thoughts weren?t normally very nice either. He closed his eyes for a moment. No, he was too tired to do this right now. He didn?t want to make things worse for himself. He didn?t want to make things worse for himself? Okay, now he really was getting tired. And he felt ill, very ill and weak. Groaning, he started to slow down, thinking about heading back ?home?. The rain began to fall again, dissolving the image behind him like it was acid taking apart fabric. Dani staggered a little like the rain was dissolving him, too, and felt a powerful urge to escape from it. He kept moving wearily until he came to a row of houses with large steps at the bottom and a large roof above the door, almost like a huge hole for the doors to sit in. Not really caring about who lived inside, Dani let himself collapse inside the opening, resting his head against the door and making sure every part of him was out of the rain. He was never, ever going to do that again. Ever. Bringing up such mental images whilst he was still half a sleep? he pulled his jacket over him some more, mumbled something about not having a car and went to sleep on someone?s doorstep. As if he cared. [CENTER]-------------------[/CENTER] Oh God. The night was horrible. Dani must have gone through dreams that only demons would dare to imagine instead his head, just because he had used his powers on the brink of exhaustion. He felt strange when he was coming out of his sleep, very strange and tried. He groaned, moving his head side to side as if to shake something out of him. Obviously, it didn?t work. It never worked. He drifted in and out of sleep, opening his eyes every now and then, concluding it was morning. Not four in the morning, either. He banged his head back against the door he was lay on, twice, a little loudly in fact. He knew he should get up before the house owner found him resting at their doorstep like a hobo, but really, he was far too tired and very, very hungry. Perhaps if he liked the person enough he?d play the ?recently abandoned, poor guy? act and get some free food. If not, he would trick them into it. He had to put his powers to good use? and really, he didn?t care if what he did was pathetic and against all good morals ? The door suddenly opened and Dani fell backwards. Wide-eyed and dazed, he starred up at the blurry image of a boy? or a girl? a person. They didn?t seem very nasty (not as nasty as Dani, anyway) from his blurry first impression. Letting an uncharacteristic grin spread across his face, Dani winked at them and gave a loud introduction. [B]??Ello!?[/B] ------------- [I]OOC: Which poor bastard is going to greet Dani? There?s an opening for anyone to meet my character, do as you please with him, haha. Also note you can have your character getting clues about other people like them, or not. First chapter is complete freedom, kids. Go wild.[/I][/SIZE]

My time is running very short, so I wouldn't have had time to start the RPG after Monday. I apologise for that. Kredion has a place in the RPG, if you still want to pick another sign, that is. Therefore there is only one place left to fill and the sign-ups will remain open until that place is filled. Prince Van has been... shall we say... 'presuaded' into joining the RPG as Taurus, so I've saved him a place. It's silly, but I do need an entire cast for this RPG and as many as I can get before the start. Offically it's Monday here, so I'll be starting the RPG. My character has given a pretty big opening, anyone can jump in at the point I've made. However, no one can post until they have a complete sign-up, haha. I suppose though, since you're all accepted, no pressure in making the samples/biographies extra long. And I need a date from those who didn't give one. Also, Kredion and Ginkaze, you're both accepted of course but I would suggest to read over a few of your posts before you post them in the RPG and use spell-check if you can. Not having a go at you two, obviously, just a minor suggestion since a lot of the RPGers here are long time RPers and whatnot. Like I said, I'm not having a go at you to, just trying to be helpful ^_^. Also, if you have time, check the Underground and post your opinion. I don't want the RPG to be solely run by me, so if you guys have any suggestions then go right a head of post them. The Underground thread is located [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=55584]Here[/URL]. Thank you all for joining everyone.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]*Scratches chin* I think I might give it a shot, never heard of it before... but might as well. Unlike most people I've got loads of free time on my hands (because I have no life) so I guess it'd be a good time waster. Although if I really wanted to cheat I could just enter Dogarta which is around 50, 000 words or so ^_^ (nah, I won't, I'll play fair). ...Yeah, I'll give it a shot. Although I do tend to be really paranoid about these kind of things, mostly because I'm scared about being eaten alive by the better writers XD Which, of course, is ridiculous (I taste to bad to be eaten, lol).[/size]

[SIZE=1]I know this has already been answered, but I was wondering about evolution again. Could my Pokemon evolve like they do in my games? Most of my games have the same pattern to it. Although I do train my Pokemon a hell of a lot before each Gym (I went up with a level 29 Charmeleon and lv25 Nidorino against Misty XD but I only had three Pokemon...), I think I won't train my Pokemon so much in the game. That'd be unfair. I'm asking this because I normally evolve my Charmander halfway through Mt. Moon, or somewhere before battling Misty. It's also the case for the Nidoran I normally catch, too. I was wondering if this would be way too soon to evolve a Pokemon. Though like I said, I don't plan to have my character capturing a lot of Pokemon (it's harder to train a bunch than just two, heh).[/SIZE]
