[COLOR=darkblue][i]Lupos enters the huge circular room deep underground. Espa follows him and the doors close. The room remains dark until a small opening high above them shines a faint light through. Only Lupos and Espa can be seen as the Council of Nine finally speaks in shouting voices...[/i] Council1: Lupos...why has Liam called our attention to you? Lupos: I request that the Council of Nine acknowledge this girl... Council2: Her? Just a mere human! Council3: Yet, she wears Lupos' insignia around her neck... Council4: Lupos, you must have a good reason as to why this is. Lupos: I rescued her during her infancy and nurtured her back to health using my own blood as her source of strength. Council5: Why?! Lupos: I had sympathy for her...not only that but she carries with her a special aura. Council6: I see it...she also has special blood...much like that of a Triste Witch... Council7: Yet, she is not... Lupos: I request that you identify her as my trusted compaion. Council8: We will consider your request...but...Espa...what do you have to say?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]This outta be good...I'll make a banner for the story with some great art...so right now, I got Lupos, Espa, Liam, Siren, Neil, and Zack. :D (Art borrowed from BlackRose) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [i]Lupos pulls up the tinted window, blocking the butler's view into the backseat.[/i] Lupos: Put on your icepick...it'll tell the Council of Nine that I have accepted you and you are a trusted companion of mine. Espa: Are there any others that are wearing this? *Puts on necklace* Lupos: Only you and I will be wearing it...once we walk in, I will be doing most of the talking...just stand by me at the center of the Council...you'll get a chance to speak... Espa: Lupos... Lupos: Espa? Espa: Nothing... [i]Lupos holds Espa close as they approach the skyrise building near the center of LA.[/i] [/COLOR]

Good luck Adam...it'll be a month before I'll have to go through the same thing...

I'm not planning to have kids until after college, and marriage...so I'll be around my mid 20's...about my plan...it's a good plan that may work...but if my kids dont turn out the way I pictured it...then, well...I'll just use my best judgement when the time comes...which won't happen in a long, long while.

I'll just use my youngest creation...Chole ... Smokey Joe? Maybe your character's name should be... ~Jamie Pi~ (pronounced "Hi-mee pie") I dunno...:gulp:

[COLOR=darkblue]Sorry about that, Liam...I edited it a little...but it seems like I took a little too long to post... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [i]As night approaches, Lupos and Espa emerge from their small room.[/i] Espa: Lupos, don't leave me... Lupos: Not to worry...I've never left you alone before. Espa: Where's Uncle Fong and Liam? [i]Master Fong and Liam walk downstairs and meet up with the two.[/i] Fong: It's time... Liam: As our name suggests, we have the advantage at night. [i]The four of them walk upstairs and head towards the front of the shop.[/i] Fong: Well, this is where we part ways...I have one more thing to give you... [i]Master Fong takes out a silver icepick, identical to the one Lupos wears.[/i] Espa: What's this for? Lupos: It has the ability to kill you...yet it can kill others just the same. Think of it as a last resort... Espa: Either victory, or death...I understand... Lupos: Yes...to preserve our greatest weapon...Secrecy... Liam: We are never to be found out by the human world...Triste Witches know of our existence and look what's happening to us. [i]A limosene pulls up along the street curb.[/i] Lupos: Thanks for the escort... Liam: We need you two...our numbers are dwindling...good luck... [i]Lupos and Espa get inside the car.[/i] Espa: Aren't you coming along Liam? Liam: No...I have to stay here and protect your Uncle...if the Hunters are any good at tracking anyone down...they'll use Espa's scent and trace it back here. Lupos: A very faint one at that...yet they can still find us... Fong: We can hold ground...just make sure you come back safetly... [i]The limo, driven by the Liam's human slave for tonight, pulls away and heads towards centeral LA...[/i] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue] Liam: Whoever they are, they're seaching around your house...looks like they'll be there all day. Lupos: Well, it's alright...I'm supposed to be protecting your life instead of my house. Espa: Lupos? Why? Lupos: Protect you and care for you with all my heart and soul? Because the moment I let you feed from my blood during your infancy. I knew that I needed to protect you...for someday, you would care for me as you are now. Liam: Ahh, I see how it is now... Espa: Oh...but what am I doing that's so special...you can take care of yourself without me. You don't have to risk your life. Lupos: I've been watching over you and caring for you for a good portion of your life, I'm not going to give up on you now. Espa: Uncle Fong can take care of me...you don't have to. Fong: It would be best if you went along with Lupos...he has friends in high places who can help you two better than I can. Lupos: The problem is...they don't know I took you in. And they won't be so accepting to outsiders. Espa: Humans... Lupos: Which is why I have been considering embracing you as my kin. Espa: I'm not sure about that...I still want to retain my humanity. But...why are they after me anyway? Lupos: Because you possess the traits of a Vampire...but not the main weaknesses... Fong: You can still be killed by the silver blood...but you can't be killed by the sunlight... Lupos: But you possess the trait of seeing auras and having the ability to heal quicker than most people. Espa: Is that why they want me? Because they believe that I am one of their own kind? Lupos: You do reflect the traits of them...but I know that you're not a Tristae Witch...you're human, half-vampire. Espa: I don't wanna know what would happen if I got caputred... [i]Fong prepares a small room for them to sleep in during the daytime downstairs in his shop. Liam joins Fong in preparing a safe plan for Espa and Lupos to make a run out of LA... Meanwhile...[/i] Espa: Are you hungry, Lupos? Lupos: A bit...but I can control myself...you need all the strength you can get. Espa: So where are we planning to go? Lupos: The Council of the Nine...to see if they can grant you asylum as a human. Espa: How are they with humans? Lupos: I don't know...it never came up before...in nearly a millenia we've been here, it's never came up. Espa: So you broke the rules by taking me in... Lupos: Yes...but I did it with good reason which I will explain to them tonight... Espa: Would it be better if I were a vampire? Lupos: Somewhat...but we'll see if the Council of Nine will accept you. Espa: Okay...*Lays down on the bed* Lupos: *Lays down next to her* Don't worry...You'll be safe with me. [i]Lupos stares at Espa for a few seconds. Their eyes locked in a strange, unspoken bond. Lupos reaches and gently strokes Espa's hair, consoling her.[/i] Espa: For a nightwalker, you've been very kind to me. Lupos: As you have... [i]Espa takes his hand and holds it. They both stare at their joining and slowly interlace their fingers. Lupos and Espa tighten their grip as their breathing quickens. They both let go and hold each other, arm-in-arm.[/i] Espa: My love...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Whooo! Congratulations! :D If I have a child...particualrly with the person I love, We'd make sure they grow up happy...but give them a good amount of dicipline. But as I've seen...the child's attitude and persona is based on the parent's. So our children would be really sensitive, quiet...but very loud at times, kind, with a short temper. And a bunch of other personality traits from the mommy. Concerning the health of our kids...Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, social anxiety and these strange cysts that grow in girls from the mother's side of the family. But, they'll all be really tall...intelligent and, in an aesthetic viewpoint, handsome and beautiful.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Lupos walks downstairs and sneaks up behind Espa.[/i] Lupos: *Puts his hand on her shoulder and looks over* What do I have? Espa: *Hands him the envolope* This... Lupos: *Tears open envelop and pulls out a small piece of paper* Espa: What is it? Lupos: It says three words...[i]Get Out Now[/i] Espa: What? [i]They hear a loud banging on the door.[/i] Lupos: I think this letter may be too late to save us... Espa: What going on? Lupos: *Stares at the front door and looks at the auras of the people outside.* Espa: I feel...nothing... Lupos: Hunters! [i]Lupos takes Espa's hand and leads her upstairs into their bedroom. He shuts the door and locks it.[/i] Espa: Lupos, what's going on? Lupos: This is a little hard to explain, but, you know that there is another kind like us. Espa: Yes, they have identical strength...identical weakness. Lupos: But they're human...or they seem to be human. [i]They hear the door being destroyed by gunfire and the footsteps of three people walking through.[/i] Espa: What do we do now? Lupos: Stay quiet... [i]Espa creeps up onto the bed while Lupos goes into the closet and pulls down a chain hooked to the ceiling. A series of stairs pull down and he walks upstairs into the attic.[/i] Espa: [i](Lupos...)[/i] Lupos: *Finds a small metallic box* [i]Don't worry my dear, I'll protect you...[/i] [i]He takes out his icepick and inserts it into the keyhole of the chest. He opens it and takes out a light pistol, handmade. He reaches into the box again and pulls out a clip loaded with silver bullets. He locks it into the gun, closes the chest and heads back into the bedroom.[/i] Espa: They're almost here... Lupos: *Stands in front of Espa and crouches low aiming at the auras streaming through the door.* They know we're here... [i]The lead hunter takes aim at the knob of the door and puts his finger on the trigger.[/i] Lupos: Sh-t! Espa! Run! [i]Lupos pulls the trigger and the bullet streams through the gun's shaft, covering it in aged mercury and silverdust. It flies through the room, crashing through the doorway and into the skull of the lead Hunter, penetrating his bone and reaching into the inner depths. The silver bullet melts under the collision and spreads through his system quickly. The lead hunter falls dead on the ground, turns a pale white, and then crumbles.[/i] Lupos: We're getting out of here... [i]The two remaning hunters begin to fire violently, shredding the door to pieces. Lupos carries Espa and runs into their private stained glass window backwards, careful not to injure his dearest from the scathing glass. He jumps through and covers Espa the best he can. Falling 3 stories down, he lands hard on his back.[/i] Espa: *Gets off of him* Are you okay... Lupos: I'll be fine...owww... [i]Espa helps Lupos up and the run towards their car. Espa reaches into her shirt and pulls out an extra set of keys. She tosses it over to Lupos and they frantically get into the car and drive away.[/i] Espa: Uncle Fong's? Lupos: Yes...he's also the man who probably gave me the letter... [i]They make their way down the hills at high speed and turn into the Santa Monica expressway...heading towards East LA... ~Back at Lupos' house~[/i] ????: *Radios in* They got away... ????2: Don't worry...we have their house...it's nearly daytime...they won't go far... ????: But don't we want the girl? ????2: Yes...but the male vampire is her companion...wherever he goes, she goes...so there's a good chance they'll stick together. ????: So first thing's first...finding them... ????2: That's all the matter of finding the right spot...they hide well...but we'll be able to find them... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]I used to get pissed off at my parents a while back...but they don't get on my case anymore since they got tired of scolding me. Somehow...they make me feel incredibly guilty when they just point out my mistake and don't punish me. But I love my parents...they worked hard to give me a good life...[/COLOR]

Exciting turn of events...

Actually, the setting for HV3 is going to be a few more generations later...so everybody's gone/deceased...new characters...new beginnings...just new stuff

[COLOR=darkblue]I'd say a mix of both...I guess I'll start getting ideas now (by reading)...it probably won't start until a bit later in the month...[/COLOR]

Linkin Park is a really good band overall...but I'm not really into the Rap/Metal hybrid lyrics...they're not a boyband IMO because most of their fans don't consist mostly of girls...

The bands from there are going to be playing here in CA later on...tonight!... for the "Not So Silent Night" fest...can't wait! But no Blink 182 and Crystal Method...they're going to be subbed by Linkin Park, Alien Ant Farm, Sum41, and AFI.

An M5 is a high speed sedan from BMW... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [COLOR=darkblue][i]Espa and Lupos keep their eyes on the mysterious teenager as he runs away with unusual speed and stealth.[/i] Espa: He feels lost... Lupos: He survived the crash...*gets out of the car and takes a look at the huge dent on the hood* Espa: Should we go looking for him? Lupos: No...it's almost sunrise...I must get home... Espa: You know who he was? Lupos: I know little of him...embraced at 14, never becoming older...trapped in that hormone producing body... Espa: Poor kid...so much emotions running rampant. Lupos: Espeically when he's hungry...We can go looking for him tomorrow evening... [i]They go back inside the car and head for home to sleep.[/i][/COLOR]

I dunno...it feels like the people at Sony sold out the early buyers with overheating, slower load times (due to a weaker laser), choppy FMV streaming, and this issue with hangups on newer PSX games... But I guess they had their reasons.

What happened to the other 3 people who voted last time? :wave:

[COLOR=darkblue]Don't worry, I'll think of something good, wholesome...mature and something that kicks a lot of arse...:help:[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Fong, Lupos, and Espa go into the back room and shut the door.[/i] Fong: I trust that Lupos explained the entire situation to you in excellent detail? Espa: Well...:rolleyes:...yeah, yeah he did. Lupos: You know much more than I do on what's going on Fong... Fong: Perhaps I do...Espa, Lupos has been deciding ever since he brought you back to life, whether or not to embrace you has his kin. Epsa: For that long? How come you never told me? Lupos: It's a very hard decision on whether or not to give you immortality. Fong: At a price... Lupos: The hunger... Espa: That I will not like...that and the other burdens of becoming a nightwalker. Fong: Lupos, Espa isn't mine anymore, so it's your choice. Lupos: I don't own her either... Espa: So this decision rests solely on me? Fong: Yes... Espa: But why? Lupos: You have a unique situation and a special aura that I have never seen before. Fong: And you are well known by many other vampires. Espa: I'm so...popular... Lupos: That's the dileema I have...once I embrace you...you become my sole companion and you will finally understand all the evils and burdens we possess. Fong: All vampires are not evil...but only misguided. I think you'll be a good teacher to my Nes. Espa: I'm not sure yet...but don't worry about me, I'll eventually come to a decision. Lupos: Okay... [i]They all leave the room and go back to the front of the store.[/i] Fong: Thank you for coming. Come again when Espa is ready... Lupos: I will... Espa: Goodbye Uncle! [i]They go back inside their M5 and head home[/i] Lupos: Espa... Espa: What is it? Lupos: *Flash* Oh...nevermind... Espa: Um...okay... [i]Lupos: oOo(The Seven Seals prophecy, could it be true?)oOo[/i] Espa: Is something troubling you? Lupos: I'll tell you later, my dear... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]I never really understood why Sony created different versions of the PSX...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Lupos Takes a good look at Espa and hugs her warmly. He notices her hightened aura.[/i] Lupos: Looks like you got into some run-in while you were away. Espa: I'm alright, aren't I? Lupos: *Recalls* Yes, you are... Espa: What is it? Lupos: *Sigh* I know that you had a really pleasent past...but seeing you in your infancy and childhood, you weren't "loved" as one would think. Espa: What do you mean? Lupos: The first time I found you wasn't when I took you into my house as a young adult. I found you during your birth. Espa: That can't be...I was raised by my uncle and my parents are away. Lupos: That's a lie... Espa: It can't be...my uncle told me... Lupos: He told you so he could see you grow up to be a happy child. [i]Lupos puts his hand on her forehead and conveys his thoughts.. "I killed your parents...not because of hunger, but because the way they were treating you. That alleyway I took you to two days ago. I wanted to show you how bad the conditions were when your parents mistreated you." "How?" "Things in the past should be kept in the past. But I'll just say this...your mother didn't want you around and wanted you out. And your dad? Well...in a way, he loved you a little too much." "Oh my god..."[/i] Espa: *Sits down on the bed* I never knew these things...but why don't I know? I was old enough to remember, but I can't. Lupos: When your mother took you outside to be beaten and left to be picked up by strangers, I was overhead...and I dropped down to confront her. Espa: And you... Lupos: Yes...but you were better off with me, 75 years of experiences can gurantee that. You were in a terrible condition...the last beating that your mother did to you with such a hatred almost killed you. You lost a lot of blood...and I took you into my house and nurtured you as a Fledgling, but you had enough strength as to not take in the Hunger when you fed from me. Espa: So your blood flows within me? Lupos: True...which is why you can sense auras and which is why I sent you to your uncle after you recovered. He went through the same thing as a child. He fed off a sypathetic vampire in his darkest hour. Espa: As I have you...and the history as I know it followed... Lupos: Sorry for keeping it a secret to you. Espa: I understand... Lupos: I wanted to save you so you can lead a normal life. Espa: That's not all of it is it? Lupos: No...its your aura...you can't see it but others can. It remained constant all your life, never growing or shrinking...it had something special that to this day, I have never figured out what it is. Espa: My uncle once called me "The Child of Dawn" Lupos: Your uncle is much older than I am...he must know something about it... Espa: It is nighttime...shall we go see him? Lupos: Okay...this might be a little interesting...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Looks like another close one:bow:...I hope we get a few more votes tomorrow...[/COLOR]

Not sure...SNES has the Super FX (8-bit RISC expansion chip) N64 has the extra Rambus DRAM expansion pack. GameCube? It might...later on. But why such a device though...the games run fine...
