[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkOrange]Alright. At the risk of sounding repetitive, this thread has gone on far too long at this quality level. To avoid the lock that I am itching to do, I am giving you the chance to raise your quality level.

[QUOTE=Arcadia] [b]1.[/b] Post length and quality should be reflective of the collaborative storytelling that is going on in this forum.

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]Alright, kids, here's the deal. Your House of Horrors just got a slight bit more difficult. You have to raise the quality of this thread, or you meet the undignified end of Lockage, brought about by repeated whackings with the Stick of Smiting (atk +1000, def +50). I would advise reading the [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/rules.php?]board rules[/URL] and the [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=44318]Adventure Square[/URL] rules as well.

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]Alright, folks, this thread has gone on far too long. I am ashamed to say I [I]allowed[/I] it to go on. Each and every one of you have been warned in the Inn for various offenses, mostly [b]quality[/b]. The rules of Otakuboards - which you agreed to when you [b]joined[/b] this forum and began posting - are very precise on the subject of quality. A link to the rules on quality is [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/rules.php?#spam]right here[/url], and also on your sidebar. These rules of quality are stressed in the [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=44318]Sticky[/URL]. This sticky is at the top of the Inn and the top of the Square. There is no excuse for not reading (and obeying) the sticky. This thread fails to comply to the rules rather miserably. As such, it is being locked.

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkOrange]Alright. This thread has actually gone on long enough. According to the [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/rules.php?]Otakuboards Rules[/URL], [quote name='The Almighty Rules']Incoherent/Sloppy Posts: At OtakuBoards, we greatly emphasize the concept of having clear, easy to read posts. This includes correct use of spelling, grammar and punctuation. If a member is posting with very poor quality, they will be asked to clean up their future posts. If the member persists in posting poorly, they will be banned from the site.[/quote] Please, refrain from using the 'word' "u" in place of "you". Textspeak and internet 'shorthand' is unnecessary. Use a spell checker if you don't know how to spell a word, or ask someone who [i]would[/i] know how to spell it. Use puncuation to indicate pauses, use correct spacing in paragraphs, so you don't have one large block of text. Debates regarding whether a post/bio/signup is long enough should be handled via [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/private.php?]PM[/url]; the only thing besides signups that should be in a signup thread are answers to questions about the RP themselves, and we would prefer those be asked in the [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=88]Underground[/url], anyway.

[COLOR=Sienna][SIZE=1]She hadn't been thrilled to get the letter. Strange letters never meant anything good. Ever. Specifically not when they talked of such nonsense. Last time she'd recieved such a letter, it had been after her aquaintence Harold - the math teacher at the small bording school where she was currently employed - had discovered Jules Verne... She hadn't been trilled to see the robed being, either. Thus far, her only encounter with robed beings had been when Harold (funny, most of her odd expiriences looped back to Harold) had decided to torment the English professor by sending the Ghost of Christmas Future to haunt him on All Hallow's Eve...while - normally - such childish pursuits were beyond her, it had seemed like an amusing diversion at the time... This, however, was no Ghost of Christmas Future, although he claimed to be from a time that wasn't quite [i]now[/i]...she had to rule out that this was Harold on the account that he - She? It? - looked to be several feet taller than the human norm. Perhaps this was all some odd dream, Maddie thought as she followed the robed being down the hall. She'd been tired the day before...robed beings and time travel...they were from speculative fiction, not something to be taken seriously...right? She maintained that mental viewpoint until something seemed to change. She almost stopped as the air seemed to become heavier...she stopped, shaking her head to clear it...when she looked down, there was an almost-lattice under her feet, support there and yet not-threre, black, with deepest, darkest blue and what looked like stars shining through...that darkness went on [i]forever...[/i] The figure turned, shaking his head. "You can't stop. Keep moving, I'll tell you when it's safe to stop..." Maddie couldn't take her eyes off the stars. "Safe?" "You're between timelines now. Stopping...could wind up with you being split across several timelines." Few things are half as motivational. Maddie sped back up, soon passing the robed figure - Time Lord? - as she did. Before too long, the weight was almost enough to make her feel moments from collapse...and then the weight was gone, faded away into mist as she stepped out into a room so clinically [i]clean[/i] that the reflections off the polished silver almost hurt. "We're here." Maddie fixed the hooded thing with a Glare. "I can tell..." The Glare did nothing. The Time Lord steered her to the canteen, where she was left to fend for herself. She squared her shoulders, stepping through the doors. This would be an odd expirience...[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]I used to try this with grade-school friends against my bedroom mirror....being six and seven year old girls, however, we always freaked each other out and never ever got to thirteen. A boy in our neighborhood had one with Freddy Kueger...if you said Freddy Kueger three times, his claws would show up behind you in the mirror, and you'd hear him laughing... Of course, at seven, I had no idea who Freddy was, nor that he was a [i]movie character[/i] and thus couldn't hurt me [i]anyway[/i], but the thought of claws freaked me out so I never tried.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1][b]Name:[/b] Mahima Gavaskar. [b]Age:[/b] 43. [b]Gender:[/b] Female. [b]Place of Origin:[/b] Born in Bangalore, India, moved to London, England, at the age of 20. [b]Known History:[/b] Mahima was born and raised in Bangalore, India, in a traditional Indian family. She grew up in that culture, learning to cook and clean and sew and be a "good wife". As such, not much of note happened to her in her early life. When Mahima was eighteen, her family set out to make a match for her. And, unlike some girls, Mahima agreed with the man who was chosen for her, and began what would be avery pleasant marriage to a moderatly sucessful businessman named Bhuta Gavaskar. Not a full year into their marriage, though, Bhuta decided London was the place to be. And so that's where they went. Several uneventful years passed. the couple had four children, and, thanks to Bhuta's sucessful career, had a large house near Hyde Park. Her children began to grow older - Mahima happily nagging them all the way - and soon, as her oldest, her daughter Indira, was old enough to be married, shocking the community (and her parents) by choosing (yes, choosing!) a Westerner, a nice man named David Finchley. After some time (and loud arguments) Mahima was forced to give in. Indira was given her parents' blessings...and the last thing Mahima remembers before awakening is the happy night before Indira's wedding. [b]Personality:[/b] Mahima's personality pretty is much what you would expect it to be. She's very motherly, with a slight - or maybe not so slight - nagging edge when she feels things aren't going her way. She is as protective as an enraged tiger over those she cares for. She also has a somewhat hysterical side, which often comes into play when she feels as if she isn't recieving enough attention...these hysterics often come in the form of the dreaded 'headache', a favored attention getter and convienient excuse. She also has a tendancy to pout. [b]Appearance:[/b] Mahima is a small woman, standing at four feet, eleven inches tall. She once had a graceful face with defined cheekbones and large eyes. Now some of the definition has faded, leaving behind a kind ? if slightly wrinkled ? dignity. Her body is slender and toned in a healthy - but not [i]too[/i] athletic - way. Her hair is short, maybe an inch and a half long, and black, beginning to grey at the temples. Mahima has brownish eyes that have a very strong golden-yellow tinge. She generally wears bright colors - yellows, oranges and greens - and skirts and saris; rarely ever will she wear pants. She also usually wears heavy makeup on her eyes and lips, but applied in a skillful manner. [b]Animal Genes:[/b] Chameleon ([i]Calumma parsonii[/i]) [b]Hybrid Abilities:[/b] [B][U]Color Changing [/U][/B]- Mahima can change the color of her skin. Stimulus for doing so can be involuntary, based on moods, but she can also change intentionally. It's a gradual process, generally starting at the extremities - fingers and toes, mostly - before spreading inwards. There doesn't seem to be any color she can't mimic, although hot pink gives her a headache and she refuses to try neon yellow. This is the strongest of her abilities. [B][U]Tongue[/U] [/B]- one of the abilities Mahima is not exactly fond of displaying is her tongue. [i]Much[/i] longer than a typical humans, and rather sticky, Mahima is capable of lashing her tongue out and drawing small items back to herself quite easily. However, the weight she can retrieve without hurting herself is rather limited - and there is no way on [i]earth[/i] she could lift herself with it. [B][U]Heightened Vision[/U][/B] - Mahima is capable of processing two seperate fields of vision. Unlike a typical human, she can focus her left eye fully left, and her right eye fully right. She tries not to think about the implications - it gives her a headache.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Sienna][B]Name:[/B] Cynthia Madeline Jameson, but I go by Maddie. [B]Age:[/B] 24 [B]Race:[/B] Human, thank you very much. [B]Timeline/Date:[/B] 1914 [B]Origin:[/B] Earth, United States of America, Milky Way Galaxy...anything else you need? [B]Special Talents:[/B] I have the rare ability of being able to cow a class of irate children, I do not see how this would help you...I also have the skill to teach what needs to be taught, and am inherently brilliant in the area of logic, though I don?t expect you to care. [B]Weapons/Items:[/B] Weaponry? I am about as skilled with weaponry as a kitten. As for items?a notebook and something to write with should suffice. [B]Appearance:[/B] I have blonde hair that ? when free ? reaches my waist, but I hardly ever wear it free as it curls [i]frightfully[/i]. I usually braid it and pin that up in a nice bun. My eyes are steely blue, and hidden behind a pair of light framed spectacles. For these I am extremely grateful, as I can hardly see worth two-bits without them. I?ve been told I am tall for a woman, which I would like to counter is rather unfair. I stand at five feet, nine inches tall. Perhaps that is a little tall, but surely it doesn?t warrant pointing out. I fear that despite all my schooling, grace and form escaped me. I have been described as being ?all legs, hands and feet?, which (while I dispute the inherent [i]rudeness[/i] at having that pointed out) I must agree with. For those looking for a ?classical beauty?, I am not much to look at. I have a sharp-featured face that matches my sharp-edged tongue, and dress sedately, keeping my skirts long and calmly colored. [B]Personality:[/B] Although generally quiet, I am [i] not[/i] in the [i]least[/i] reserved. As I mentioned before, I have a sharp tongue, and am very opinionated, although I will at least mask it with steely cold politeness. I do not miss much, and the students who tried to sneak anything past me usually regretted it in the end. I do have a sense of humor, but I do not drag it out to amuse my fellows, you need to earn a glimpse of it. [B]Biography:[/B] I do not have much to tell. As any young woman from my time can tell you, woman are for the most part not able to do much before they come of age, a mere six years ago for me. I was born in Kansas on a small farm. Not much happens in Kansas, and that?s precisely what happened to me: not much. I quickly grew tired of the monotony of nothingness, and decided to become a teacher. I moved out to New York City to better further this desire when I was fourteen. I have been a teacher since age twenty, and have supposedly risen in the ranks to become one of the better thought of teachers in the city since then. I suppose that will change, unless I can be back by the beginning of the fall term? [/COLOR][/SIZE]
