[COLOR=darkblue][i]As Chole and Iris sidetrack along the beaches of the island...[/i] Chole: I wonder...if I get to stay here for a while... Iris: Maybe... Chole: You, dont like it here? Iris: I think this place is wonderful...but you like staying here? Chole: It's better than living at sea Iris: Well, I do have people waiting for me back home... Chole: Hey, what's that? [i]Chole points to a huge dent in the sand...a bird shaped dent, and a person shaped one...[/i] Iris: Looks like we're close by... Chole: ;)[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole, carrying the boy, begin to blade home through the park...[/i] Boy: Are you really shure that it's okay? Chole: Yeah, I got a bunch of stuff, extra bed...lotsa food and all of that... [i]As the near the center of the park, a bolt of lightning strikes Chole down to the ground. A group of masked figures surround Chole and the boy.[/i] ????: Which one do you want? ????2: The boy will suffice... ????: Which one though? ????2: Just choose randomly...they look both the same, in some way... [i]Chole tries to struggle, but the group is too strong as they pry the boy out of Chole's arms...[/i] Boy: Help! O...god! Help! [i]Chole only looks in complete shock as they take him away into the night. The last masked figure kicks him in the head, knocking him unconscious in the middle of the park... "It happened all in an instant, a flash of lightning, then they came...the 'black lightning' I had a similar feeling as I touched the door of the fruit shop or when I touched the dead body of the man killed here earlier...somehow, I felt that they were the same group of people...as I lay in the darkness of Meteo City's centeral park...I thought no one would find me and I would be dead by morning..."[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]They start picking grapes and putting them into a large leaf...[/i] Chole: That enough? Iris: Yeah...now...how do we get back... Chole: I think it's this way... Iris: *Lifts leaf* You think? Chole: Well...I've never been out this late...[/COLOR]

I thought you're a bit older than I first thought in the picture...the year's been good to you...

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole and the boy make it to the shelter and look up. He sees night and gives him a thumbs up, who sets down on the roof to wait for Chole. He opens the door and looks around.[/i] Boy: It looks deserted... Chole: Hello?! [i]Silence...[/i] Chole: Hmm...it's empty...look I'm sorry...I thought someone would be here... Boy: I guess it's back to the streets for me... Chole: ...Why don't you come and stay with me for a while? Boy: ist that okay? Chole: Yeah...I live alone...c'mon let's go... [i]They head outside...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole climbs a huge tree and extends his hand for Iris...[/i] Iris: Thank you... Chole: ya-hum... [i]The stand up and see the vines of grapes climbing the tree and across it's branches.[/i] Iris: This is nice...*sits down* Chole: Dinner, I guess... Iris: We've been running around so long...and I'm hungry... [i]Iris grabbed a bunch of grapes and stuffed her mough.[/i] Chole: LOL Iris: What? Chole: Even I haven't eaten that fast before... Iris: :Rolleyes: Chole: *Pops in a few grapes*[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole, carrying the boy cross the park to get to the Shelter, hoping that Iris is still working...he spots a dark figured hybrid in the grass, looking down at a human body.[/i] Chole: *Walks towards the figure* Hey, is everything okay? Night: *Turns around* Hmm...it wasn't my fault... [i]Chole sets down the boy and touches the body...he viewed the final moments of this man's life...[/i] Chole: Sad ending...I just wish... Night: That things were better here? Chole: Yeah... Boy: Same here... Chole: By the way...I didn't catch your name? Night: Name's night... [i]They hear sirens off from the distance...[/i] Chole: This isn't good...if we stay here...things'll get more complicated.. Night: I know...I know...hope he can find some peace in death... [i]Chole picks up the boy and jumps onto the pavement.[/i] Chole: Where are you headed off to? Night: *Spreads his wings* Wherever...the night is still young... Chole: Okay... Night: Wait...how about you? Chole: I'm taking him to the shelter... Night: Those people who killed that man are still around, most likely...be careful... Chole: I will, thank you... Night: *Jumps up* I'll watch you from up above...just in case... [i]Chole starts blading towards the large shelter, tattered and tainted with neglect and age...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]You two make a nice couple... A year going strong huh...how'd you pull it off...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue] [i]As Chole walks towards his apartment, he notices a young boy huddling in an alleyway cardboard box...[/i] Chole: Hum kee day... Boy: WTF? Chole: Don't you have a home to go to? Boy: No...and what do you care?! Chole: Well, there's this girl named Iris...she works at the Shelter and she can help you and all... Boy: I don't need help...I can take care of myself... Chole: Oh yeah? Then what are you doing here? Boy: I like it here... Chole: Don't gimme that crap... Boy: *Stands up* Looking for some trouble, you've found it... Chole: :therock: [i]The boy charges at Chole...he jumps straght up in the air and steps on his shoulders and lands behind the boy.[/i] Chole: Don't even try... Boy: *pant, heave* Chole: Farewell... Boy: W-wait... Chole: What is it this time? Boy: Where's Iris? Chole: Glad you thought twice about that... [i]"Now it doesn't look like I'll ever get home before dawn..." Chole picks up the little kid and starts to blade towards the shelter...[/i] [/COLOR]

Woops...:whoops: that was confusing...but I fixed it...

Naturally, stream water contains whatever minerals it comes in contact with...IE: Eroded Soil, the pebbles on the bottom of the stream...anything that happens to fall into it etc. Tap Water is a little different...it's filtered to an extent, treated with various chemicals (which they say are safe) and taken to your home. It could carry anything...the pipes for instance may carry Lead...or some other stuff like Zinc or different metals. This water comes from the stream...so whatever's in the stream, it'll likely be in your Tap water. Bottled water is most likely from that tap water...but it's treated even more and filtered a whole lot (as Alhambra, Black Water or Evian says)...they go through a lot of filtering, ionization (electricity treatment), and exposed to UV radiation (to kill things in there). Sometimes, they do miss some stuff...but not enough to kill you. Some companies put in trace amounts of their own minerals like iron or whatever you need.

They started off as moderators...but they became valuable assets to our staff...so, they have more abilities that mod's don't normally have.

Some codecs that RealPlayer need are already installed with your operating system...try updating your OS....

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole and Iris end up at the edge of the island, where rocks meet the waves. They help each other up towards the edge as the gentle current sweeps through their feet and ankles.[/i] Iris: This is nice...watching the sunrise... Chole: Sure is... Iris: So what's here? I'm hungry... Chole: *crouches and picks up a shell* Clams and Oysters Iris: Seafood? Chole: Had enough already? Iris: Got anything else here that we can eat right off? Chole: ...hmmm...there's some grape vines not too far off from here... Iris: Let's go get some... [i]The head back down to the sand and run into the jungle...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]1.02.02 [i]As Chole blades towards his apartment, he stops on the sidewalk for a small breather... "My head still hurt that night...as morning came, I realized that I hadn't had breakfast yet.." Chole looks around to find a small fruit stand nearby. "So I decided to buy some...little did I know what kinda stuff had happened here a few hours before..." Chole takes out some pocket change and asks the storekeeper for some fruit...[/i] Chole: Hey, can I get this? Man: Sure thing... [i]He grabs a pack of bananas and gives it to Chole in exchange for his §.50[/i] Chole: Thanks! [i]"As I walked out of that store, I opened the door, of course, I touched the handle and I paused for a short moment..."[/i] Chole: *GASP! Chole lets out a breath of ice, freezing the door partway.* Man: Hey! If you're gonna practice using that breath of yours, take it outside! [i]"I left the store...but something came over my mind as I touched that door...I witnessed some kind of ambush, with someone getting sprayed, me...but in someone else's eyes. It was strange. But I thought nothing of it...and headed home..."[/i][/COLOR]

Oh darn it...okay, I'll do this in order (first come first serve)...I won't post everyone's intros though...I don't have the time...

Well, there are games that require you to play for a certain amount of hours to get secrets and all (IE: SSBM). So there are people who do that...it just doesn't make any sense to leave the TV on while they're at it...

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole wakes up again...this time...morning...[/i] Chole: *Yawn* Good morning... Iris: Morning Chole... Chole: Hey, how come you decided to sleep here now? Iris: Take a wild guess... Chole: Umm...maggots on your bed? Iris: :rolleyes: Chole: Let's go for breakfast... [i]Iris stands up and waits for Chole.[/i] Iris: Where to? Chole: I know a good place on the island... [i]Chole takes Iris' hand and they start running.[/i] Iris: Hey, c'mon I just woke up...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Iris walks over to the child...[/i] Iris: Are you lost... Liam: Of course not, why? Iris: I voulunteer at an orphanage nearby the park... Liam: I'm not an orphan... [i]Chole comes running down...[/i] Chole: If I knew that you couldn't blade well in the grass, I'd be here long ago...huh? Iris: Hi Chole, so we meet again... Chole: Not really, I was here the entire time... Liam: You look, familiar... Chole: I've never seen you before... Liam: Nevermind... Iris: Do you two have a place to go? Chole/Liam: Of course I do! Iris: Sorry...well, I have to tend to the kids...they really need me... Liam: Okay...bye... [i]Liam runs off.[/i] Chole: *Stares at Liam...* Hey... [i]Chole looks around to see Iris, gone...[/i] Chole: Nevermind... [i]He runs to the paved surface of the park and jumps up. He blades away... "Hmm, I wonder if I'll see them again..."[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: *Looks around* wait...where am I going? The other way? I must've been knocked out a whole lot... [i]A young girl spots Chole and stands up[/i] "Excuse me..." Chole: Huh? "Are you okay?" Chole: Yeah...I guess... "Here, let me tend to that wound of yours..." [i]She gets out a white cloth from her pocket and wipes away his bloody cheek.[/i] Chole: Thanks...umm..what's your name? "Iris..." Chole: Hi, Iris... Iris: What happened? Chole: I don't know...something hit me, hard...not far away... Iris: *Looks around* Well, there's no cars around...and theres no one here except...you and me... Chole: Wait... [i] Chole points to a dark area of grass nearby. Iris looks closer and sees a child there walking around...[/i] Iris: Oh... Chole: Hey, wait for me... [/COLOR]

Chole: What? Can't we just let the TV crew handle our mess?

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole gets up from the fire and looks back at the beds in his hut.[/i] Chole: Iris...[/COLOR]

It's in the middle of the G&S fourm...

[COLOR=darkblue]Lupos: Besides...there's video games there...we can hide out until the others come back... Matt: Not into it... Craig: Well... Neil: I'd rather be killing in real life... Lupos: OKay.... Espa: We're going in...they'll catch up and we'll be in a heap of trouble... Neil: What can the police do to us? Lupos: You never know if there's a Tristae witch.... Craig: And even we can't stand against an entire force...with 100-200 men and women fighting us...[/COLOR]

I understand...hmmm...if anyone wants me to write their intros...I'll be more than happy to...
