[b][font=Tahoma][color=darkorchid]EDIT: (Sorry, JJ, I decided not to join this RPG. I have a bad feeling that I'll end up killing it. The Mystery Female spot is open to anyone who wants it.)[/color][/font][/b]

[size=1][color=purple][b][size=2]OOC: I don't want my character stuck in one place forever. Time for a quick recovery. I'll see you guys at the club.[/size][/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][i]Sandy woke up and found herself in a hospital bed. She tried to think of how she had come here, and then she remembered the accident. She put a hand on her head and traced a finger along the stitches. Her head still ached a little but it felt a lot better than before.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"Boy, they must be pretty mad at me. I think I blew my chances of ever joining their band." [i]She whispered.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][i]Then, a nurse saw that Sandy was awake and walked into the room to check on her.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"Good morning, Sandy. How are you feeling?" [i]The nurse asked.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"A lot better, thank you." [i]Sandy replied.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"That's good. If your friends hadn't payed for you to come here, you would have never recovered this fast. You should be able to get back on your feet now and go about your normal business. Although you shouldn't try to drive right away."[/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][i]Sandy wasn't sure if she had heard right.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"Wait a second...They brought me here and payed for me?"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][i]The nurse nodded.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"Yes they did. If only everyone had such friends like yours. This world would be a much better place." [i]The nurse smiled.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][i]Suddenly, a moment of inspiration hit Sandy.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"Nurse, could you please bring me a pencil and notepad?" [i]She asked.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"Of course. I'll be right back."[/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][i]After the nurse returned with the pencil and notepad and then left the room, Sandy immediately began writing down the words that were floating through her head. A few hours of writing and rewriting later, she checked the clock.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"uh-oh. It's almost time for me to be at the club. I'd better hurry." [i]She thought.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][i]Sandy got up, got dressed, and left the room.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]-----------------------------------[/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][i]Backstage at Club Piston, Sandy took her acoustic guitar out of its case. She was no longer dressed in her normal skanky stage outfit. Instead, she was wearing a bit of blush, a dark blue jacket, a sky blue blouse, and a black skirt. It would be hard to imagine her as the same girl who went around calling herself, "Willow". She listened as the club owner, the Jewish Rabbi that she had asked earlier if she could play, announced her name.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"Ladies and gentleman, please give a warm round of applause to Sandra Davies."[/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][i]She took a deep breath and made her way onto the stage. She sat down on the stool in the center of the stage, adjusted the microphone, and tuned her guitar. Sandy looked out at the shadowed faces of the audience. Hopefully, Wild Angel was out there listening as well. As the applause died down, she began her first song.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple]"Thank you everyone. This is one of my earlier songs. It's called 'Broken Glasses'"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080][b]You can't see me[/b][/color][/size] [b][size=1][color=#800080]You're wearin' broken glasses[/color][/size][/b] [b][size=1][color=#800080]But no matter what I say[/color][/size][/b] [b][size=1][color=#800080]You'll always wear broken glasses[/color][/size][/b] [b][size=1][color=#800080]Will you ever get them fixed someday?[/color][/size][/b] [size=1][color=#800080]--------------------------------------------------[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=purple]Now was the time. This was the last song that Sandy was allowed to play. She pulled out the piece of paper that she had written on in the hospital, looked at it, and put it back in her pocket. She only hoped that the members of Wild Angel were here to here it. She looked over the audience, but she couldn't make out any of their shadowed faces.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Now this next song is one that I came up with earlier today. So if I make a mistake, it's because I've never played it before. I wrote it for a very special group of people. You all have heard of them, and they're going to be playing here tonight in fact. This song is dedicated to the band, Wild Angel."[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]After the applause died down from the mention of the band's name, Sandy nervously began her song. She knew that this wouldn't pay Wild Angel back for the way she treated them, or for the way they had treated her despite how she had acted towards them, but it would hopefully be a start.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=purple][b]A friendly smile[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][b]A cruel answer[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][b]You were so kind[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][b]And I was a b******[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][b]You saw behind my guile[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][b]You were always such a Wild Angel[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][b]And I wanted to be one too[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][b]But I was a devil without wings[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][b]I could never be like you[/b][/color][/size] [color=purple][size=1][b]You were always such a Wild Angel[/b][/size][/color] [color=purple][/color] [color=purple][size=1][b]---------------------------------[/b][/size][/color] [color=purple][size=1] [i][size=1]After her last song, Sandy thanked the audience and left the stage. They had seemed to like her new song, but did Ally, Kelsei, and all of the others like it as well? She looked around for them as she sat down at a table but she didn't see them anywhere. She decided to order a drink and watch the other performances until it was Wild Angel's turn to play.[/size][/i] [b][size=2]OOC: Well, hopefully this long post will make up for how long I've been gone. You guy's had better get on stage soon. ;)[/size] [/b] [/size][/color]

[font=Tahoma][size=1][color=purple][i]A look of surpise came over Emryss' face. She had completely forgotten about the boy named "Skyler". She nodded her head.[/i][/color][/size][/font] [size=1][color=#800080]"If he is what he says he is, then he probably would be in danger. Also, an angel might be a little bit helpful right now. He might be able to help us find the crystal. We'll search for him first, but then we're going to Germany. Alright?" [i]Emryss asked the others.[/i][/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Kit and Doll both nodded. Emryss then grabbed one of Doll's arms and put it over her shoulder. Kit did the same and they both helped her walk to find the angel.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]"If this vampire is thinking what I think she's thinking, then I just might be able to use it to both of our advantages. Her 'curse' will end up to be a blessing for me." She thought.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080][/color][/size][/i]

[b][size=2][color=purple]OOC: No hard feelings, but where's the fun if you guys make it to the gig all right? Sorry. ;)[/color][/size][/b] [b][size=2][color=#800080][/color][/size][/b] [size=1][color=#800080]"Yeah you're always! Up to no good!" [i]Sandy sang along to the chorus as she listened to "Big Brat".[/i][/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]She smiled and took out the CD. She didn't know what it was, but she loved that song. She grabbed her other Phantom Planet CD, the one with California on it. She liked that song and all, but now way too many people play it.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]"Oh well. There are still other good songs on it." She thought.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]But before she could put it in, her car hit a bump and it fell from her hands. She leaned over to pick it back up but it was a little bit out of her reach. Just when she almost had it, her car slammed into a Mustang GT. Her head hit the steering wheel, right before the airbag inflated, knocking her unconcious. A crowd of people came by to see if everyone was okay, and a woman with a cell phone called the police.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080][/color][/size][/i] [b][size=2][color=#800080]OOC: I wonder if you guys will ever let my character join the band after this...lol. :p[/color][/size][/b]

[size=1][color=purple][i]To Ally's relief, Sandy forgot about the little game she was trying to play with David.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Kelsei? Who's that?" [i]She faked ignorance. Everyone who had heard about the band knew who Kelsei was.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"She's one of the leaders of this band. We don't make any decisions unless she's around." [i]Ally said.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Oh. When's she getting back?" [i]Sandy asked, pushing her hair out of her face.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"We don't know." [i]Ally replied.[/i][/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]A frown came to Sandy's face. She grabbed a nearby piece of paper and a pen. She wrote down something on the paper, and handed it to Matt.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Well, I'm going, so here's my number. Call me. Even if you don't hear from her."[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]She looked David up and down. She then wrote down her number again, tore it off, and handed it to him as well.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"You're pretty cute, too. Give me a call, okay?"[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Sandy waved by to the band and drove off.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]"Well it looks like those two are too caught up in their girlfriends for that trick to work. Maybe I didn't try hard enough...Oh well. I highly doubt they'll call me. I've got to talk to them again when that 'Kelsei" person gets back. I'm thirsty, I think I'll get a drink." Sandy thought, as she headed into the nearest coffee shop.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080][i]After she bought her coffee, Sandy was about to walk out when she heard two guys talking about the gig that Wild Angels was doing. She sat down at their table.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Hey, cuties. What were you saying? Wild Angels is having a gig? Where?"[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]The blond guy that she was sitting next to smiled at her.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Yeah. It's at Club Piston. Do you need a ride?" [i]He asked her, smiling even more.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Know, but I need some sugar in my coffee. Can you get me some?"[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Sandy took the plastic top off of her coffee cup. Just as she was expecting, the guy put his hand on her leg.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Sure. But I can give you a better kind of sugar. It's much...sweeter."[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080][i]Sandy picked up her coffee.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Whatever." [i]She said.[/i][/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]She threw the hot coffee at the guy's face, screamed rape, and ran out of there and into her car.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"What a loser. At least now I know where Wild Angel is going to play." [i]She laughed as she drove off.[/i][/color][/size]

[b][font=Tahoma][size=2][color=purple]*Heh* Time to mix things up. :devil:[/color][/size][/font][/b] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Imi didn't know how right she was. They all stopped and listened as they heard a car pull up, follwed by the sound of someone slamming a car door. A girl with short black hair walked up to where the band had set up their instruments. She was wearing a strange black outfit that left her back bare, revealing her red tattoo. She smiled and walked up to the group.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"You guys must be the 'Wild Angels'. I've heard a lot about you." [i]She said.[/i][/color][/size][size=1][color=#800080]"What do you want? Are you a fan?" [i]Ally asked her.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Yeah, sort of. My name's Jennifer Sandra Davies, but everyone calls me 'Sandy'. Although I would like them to call me, 'Willow'. And that's where you guys come in. I want to join your band. I'm usually just a singer, but I can also play the bass, so I don't mind doing backup vocals. What do you say?"[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]The group just stood there and stared at her. None of them said a word.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]"Huh. This isn't going as well as I thought it would." Sandy thought.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]"It's time to take another approach..."[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]An evil smile lit up her face as she walked up to Matt. She grabbed his arm and leaned on it.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"What do you say, hottie? Can I join your band?"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"T-that's not my choice." [i]He stammered.[/i][/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]She gave him puppy dog eyes.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Aww...please? We'll have so much fun!"[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=purple]"I'm not exactly sure what she's planning to do, but I might be able to guess. Anyways, this is all about a crystal that will grant you - well, I'll wait to tell you that until I know I can trust you a little better. Why don't you join us on the boat to Germany and we'll talk there? You seem to be someone who would like a good adventure. And to answer your other question, I'm not sure what to do about her. I have an idea though."[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Emryss cut her own forearm with a knife. Kit gasped as she watched the blood hit the ground. Doll's nose twitched in response. Emryss held out her arm and whispered to the vampire.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Doll. Doll, can you hear me? Do you need some blood?"[/color][/size]

[i][font=Tahoma][size=1][color=purple]"What's up with this girl? Is she crazy or something?" Allycia thought as she followed Steff outside.[/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Times New Roman][color=#800080][size=1][font=Tahoma]?What are you doing?!? [i]She asked Steff.[/i] [/font][i]Steff breathed slowly. [/i][/size][/color][/font] [size=1][color=#800080]?Kiros? he needs someone? he needs help, he can?t do this on his own!?[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Allycia grabbed Steff by the shoulder and turned her around.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Hold on a minute there. Who's this Kiros, and what does he need help with? Maybe if you explain this to me I can help you out someway. And even if I can't, I'll do the best I can. You're obviously very worried about this guy. Is he your boyfriend?"[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Allycia waited as Steff took a few deep breathes and answered her question...[/color][/size][/i]

[b][size=2][color=purple]Thank you so much, Sun! You're an angel! :angel:[/color][/size][/b] [b][size=2][color=#800080][/color][/size][/b] [size=2][color=purple][b]Name: [/b]Jennifer Sandra Davies A.K.A. "Willow"[/color][/size] [size=2][color=purple] [size=2][b]Age: [/b]16[/size] [b][size=2]Appearance:[color=purple] [/color][/size][/b][size=2][color=purple][url="http://img66.photobucket.com/albums/v201/Alice1/willow-promo-poster.gif"]Her "promo" poster.[/url][/color][/size][size=2][color=purple] ([/color]In the pic, Sandy's wearing her stage outfit. She tends to like to dress in more of a gothic manner on stage.)[/size] [/color][/size] [size=2][color=purple][b]Personality: [/b]A bit on the talkative side, Sandy is also very stubborn and refuses to ever give up when she wants something. If she doesn't get what she wants, she controls her temper and silently gets revenge later. If and when she makes friends with the people who were once in her way, she becomes very open and friendly towards them.[/color][/size] [size=2][color=purple][b]Bio: [/b]Sandy moved away from England when she was young, but not so young that she didn't keep her accent when she reached her new home. Her dream has always been to join a band, whether its her's or someone elses, it doesn't matter. She also would like to change her stupid name, but since her parents won't allow her to do that, a stage name will do just fine for now. (If she ever does become part of a band, she wants her stage name to be "Willow".) Sandy is a great singer, but she is thankful for her parents who bought her a bass and payed for her lessons since most bands usually want their members to have more than one talent. She'll do anything shy of murder to join the new band, "Wild Angels". Including bribery, seduction, or defaming one of the band member's names to get them kicked out of the band. If she doesn't get to join the band, she doesn't know what she'll do. She'll probably just add to the nasty rumors that are going around and start a competing band. [/color][/size]

[size=1][color=purple][i]Valerie glared at Kaitlen, but she pretended not to notice and avoided her look. Maybe Valerie was wrong though, maybe Kaitlen was the one with the right to be angry, and not her. Valerie had always put off doing anything with Kaitlen since her first time, just because she was afraid of what everyone else would think. When she walked in and saw Kaitlen with that Raider, she was filled with feelings of jealousy - yes, jealousy - she would admit that now. There was no denying it. There was nothing else it could be. Although she had tried to hide or make excuses for these feelings she had at Kaitlen, she decided to let them out now. She felt more comfortable with this group of people for some reason. She knew they wouldn't tease her or make fun of her because of what she was. Valerie and the others mounted the horses. It seemed like it would be a silent trip, all the way back to the city, with everyone occupied in their own thoughts.[/i][/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]"It's true. I really do have feelings for Katie, and I was jealous at that raider when I saw him with her." She admitted to herself.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Suddenly, a voice broke her concentration.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]"Don't worry, Valerie. Everything will be alright."[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]"Miyuki? Is that you?" Valerie thought the question, but there was no reply.[/color][/size][/i] [center][i][size=1][color=#800080]"How can everything be alright with Katie mad at me and with a group of angry raiders who will soon be on our tails?"[/color][/size][/i][/center] [color=purple]------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#800080][/color] [size=1][color=#800080][i]After a few minutes of riding, Valerie heard more horses. She looked behind her. Just as she thought, the bandits had nearly caught up with them. She decided to call out to the others and ask what they should do.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Should we keep running? Or should we stay and fight?"[/color][/size]

[font=Tahoma][size=1][color=purple]Well, I hope I'm not making a mistake posting in this topic, but since Skye has already done it, it should be okay. I'll skip my life story and get to the subject of this topic. If you want to hear it, you can PM me. Anyways...[/color][/size][/font] [size=1][color=#800080]I've never really thought about girls that much, but here's what I would look for.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]-Eyes: Brown is too boring to me, (although it can be pretty sometimes,) I usually prefer green, or at least blue eyes.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]-Hair: Darker colors interest me a lot more than light blond. Usually I like dirty blond, to brown. Black's okay sometimes.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]-Race: I'm not trying to be racist, but the only race I would date outside of my own, so far, is Asian.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]-Skin color: Vampire pale has it's laughs, but only for a little while. The Goth look is only interesting sometimes to me.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]-Height and Weight: I'm not to particular about this, just as long as I'm able to rest my head on their shoulder. (I'm pretty short myself, so they don't have to be that tall.)[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]-Tattoos & piercings: Tattoos are a no-no if they're a lot of them and there where everyone can see them. Piercings are the same.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]-Dress: However they're comfortable.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]-Everything else: Doesn't really matter. Personality makes up for that. ;)[/color][/size] [b][size=2][color=#800080]Note to the guys: I know this topic was meant for you, but Skye had already posted before me. So...blame her. (Just kidding, Skye. ;)) [/color][/size][/b]

[i][size=1][color=purple]Emryss knelt down next to Doll as well.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"You said you wanted to die, right?

She didn't know what it was about churches, but they sort of drew her towards them, and pushed her away at the same time. She set her helmet down on her bike. Something was wrong. A putrid smell was in the air, and there was blood leaking from her front door. She ran to a neighbor's house for help. Allycia knocked on the door, but there was no answer. She opened the door and a body fell out of the house.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Oh ****!" [i]She yelled as she ran back to her bike.[/i][/color][/size] [b][color=purple]________________________[/color][/b] [b][color=#800080][/color][/b] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Allycia had no idea what had happened back in her town. All she knew was that it must've been pretty bad, and she was glad that she hadn't been there. The death of her family really hadn't sunk in yet, and she didn't want it to. She had to find some place to keep her mind occupied. Maybe she could head over to the new club, "Visions", or whatever it was called. Suddenly, a girl stepped out into the street. Allycia lost control of her bike as she swerved to miss her. As the girl tried to wake her up, what she had said echoed in Allycia's head.[/color][/size][/i] [i][size=1][color=#800080]"Heaven betrayed me! I want to die!"[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"looks like-you almost got your wish..." [i]Allycia mumbled.[/i][/color][/size]

[b][font=Tahoma][size=2][color=purple]OOC: I'm Back! :angel: ~S.A.~ A.K.A. "Taryn"[/color][/size][/font][/b] [i][color=purple]Valerie was in too much shock to fully realize what happened to her friend. When she came to her senses, she ordered everyone to follow her to the nearby stable. She jumped on the best horse she could find and threw some money to the stablemaster.[/color][/i] [color=#800080]"I just need to borrow a few horses! But in case I can't bring them back, this should pay for them!" [i]She said as he picked up the dropped coins.[/i][/color] [i][color=#800080]All of her friends stared in amazement at her unknown ability.[/color][/i] [color=#800080]"When did you learn to ride?" [i]Lei asked.[/i][/color] [color=#800080]"Before my dad messed everything up, he used to own a ranch. Now, everyone get on a horse and let's go!"[/color] [i][color=#800080]Her skill wasn't the only thing that surprised them. It was unusual for them to hear the so far soft-spoken Valerie, giving orders. Daniel mounted on Valerie's horse and sat behind her. They waited for everyone else to find a horse and mount, so that they could pursue their quickly disappearing friend.[/color][/i]

[size=1][color=purple][i]The knife-seller wasn't the only one who was surprised at Kaitlen's ability.

[i]The knife-seller suggested.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Sure, but first I need to find something for my friend."[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Of course." [i]The knife-seller nodded in agreement.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080][i]As Kaitlen looked through the assortment of weapons, Valerie protested.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"But, Kaitlen...I don't even really know how to use any of these kinds of weapons!"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"That's alright. I'll teach you. Here, this one will be perfect for you." [i]Kaitlen said as she pulled up a short sword.[/i][/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]It had a slight curve to it, and there was a hook at the top of the back of the blade. The hilt was gold and was covered with a beatiful mixture of blue, and purple cloth. Kaitlen handed it to Valerie. It was very light.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Alright. If you say so. But if I'm going to have a weapon, I'm not sure if I really want a sword...You have to get pretty close to fight with them."[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080][i]The knife-seller's eyes lit up.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"That is not a problem, young lady. I sell more than just knives here."[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]He picked up a metal glove and brought her out to the target range. After he had her put it on, he gave her instructions on how to use it.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Just tap your thumb and index finger to shoot out the whip."[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"You mean like this?"[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Valerie did as he said, and a long metal whip shot out of a bulge at the top of the glove and hit the target.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Exactly."[i] He said, smiling. [/i]"Now, to bring it back, you just tap your thumb and pinky together."[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080][i]Valerie tapped her pinky with her thumb, and the whip was pulled back into its compartment. Valerie didn't even hesitate to decide if she wanted the glove or not.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"I'll take it!"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Very good. Now if you young ladies will hand those back to me, I'll polish and sheath these and make the changes to your dagger."[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080][i]Kaitlen and Valerie both thanked the man. Valerie started talking to Kaitlen while they were waiting.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"So, where do you think we should go next?"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"I don't know. I just want to explore around for a little bit."[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Valerie nodded.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"So what do you think of Miyuki, Katie?" [i]She asked.[/i][/color][/size] [size=2][color=#800080][b]OOC: LOL. Tag, Skye! :angel: (Oops! I forgot about Daniel! Can you work him into your post, Skye? Sorry Daniel!)[/b][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=purple]"I'm not exactly sure who she is, but if I were you, I'd listen to her."[/color][/size] [size=1][color=purple][i]Emryss walked outside where everyone was gathered. Since she had only heard pieces of conversation when she was half-asleep, she didn't exactly know what was going on but hearing, "Blood Crystal" and "I [color=purple]think you will tell me about the crystal now." was enough to rouse her from her nap. The girl that knew the man looked at Emryss as she unsheathed her sword.[/color][/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080]"Although I trust that this vampire's powers will be able to handle the job," [i]she said, motioning towards Lex.[/i] "if he fails to kill you if you don't tell us what you know, this sword will be more than enough to take care of you. It works on more than just vampires, you know."[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Emryss resheathed her sword and decided to use a different form of persuasion. She unzipped her backpack, and brought out the shard of crystal she had taken from the church.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"Recognize this?"[i] She asked.[/i][/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]The man's eyes went wide.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"It's a piece of a Blood Crystal locator!"[/color][/size] [i][size=1][color=#800080]Lex tightened his grip on the man.[/color][/size][/i] [size=1][color=#800080]"So you do know something, huh?" [i]He said.[/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=purple][/color][/size][size=1][color=purple]Sorry, Xion. I would've replied sooner, but my internet went down. The banner's great and all, and I don't mean to complain, but can you make the text a bit larger and bolder so it fills in all of that empty space? Besides that, it's great. :D Unless you can make the pictures of the characters a bit more circular. Thanks again, Xion. ;) [/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800080][/color][/size] [b][size=2][color=#800080]~S.A.~ A.K.A. "Taryn" :angel: [/color][/size][/b]

[color=purple][size=1]I'm a new Radiohead fan as well. Like Mitch, the first album I bought was [i]OK Computer[/i]. To me, at first, it was just a novelty album. Just something to listen to and laugh at it. Then I heard [i]Karma Police. [/i]After the line, "For a minute there, I lost myself", got inside of me, all of the other songs started to get inside of me as well. After that, I knew I had to hear more. So I decided to buy [i]Kid A[/i] but they didn't have it at Sam Goody's. So, taking a chance, I bought [i]the Bends[/i] and hoped I wouldn't be sorry. As you can guess, I wasn't in the least. Well, enough of my musical adventures, I have a question for everyone. How is [i]Kid A[/i] different from all of the other albums? Does it have a lot more ambient noise and synth effects or something? (Most of my friends can't stand that stuff.) And is [i]Hail to the Thief[/i] very similar to [i]Kid A[/i]? [b]Let me just end this by saying that unlike other groups I listen to, Radiohead is the only one that I don't really pay attention to the words. I don't even know most of the lyrics for their songs. It all just melts together so much, it's great.[/b][/size][/color] [size=2][color=purple][b]~S.A.~ A.K.A. "Taryn" :angel: [/b][/color][/size]

[color=purple][size=1][i]Emryss looked around the apartment with a feeling that bordered on disgust. Everything was classy, sure, but she would definitely not have wasted her money on about half of the stuff in the room.[/i] "If I were him...I would redecorate." [i]she whispered, eyeing the posters. She walked over to the black couch, set down her jacket and backpack, and sat down. She put a hand to her forehead and closed her eyes. "What am I even doing here? I don't even need to stay out of the sunlight." She thought. "Especially with all of these vampires." She opened her eyes and looked over at all of them. "They seem pretty nice, but still...at least I'm immune to their bite. Maybe they have the same purpose as me. Maybe they are looking for the crystal as well. They all seem to be searching for something, anyways. In fact..." Emryss looked around the richly decorated room. "This Rook guy might even have it here. He has pretty much everything else in this apartment..." Although it was against her better judgement, Emryss closed her eyes again and tried to get some rest.[/i][/size][/color]

[color=purple][size=1]Hey, I hope this isn't too much to ask but can someone make me a Star Ocean banner using the pictures I've attached? (I'd try it myself but it's a little too early.) Anyways, I'd like it in soft colors like white and blue, and I want it to say "You've seen my heart" on the left, and "Won't you show me yours?" on the right. And could you please put the characters faded somewhere in the middle of the banner? With Luna on the left and the guy on the right? Feel free to use whatever designs you think would help liven it up. Thank you very much. :D P.S. I cut out their faces to make it easier for you, but I also included the original image if you want to do it yourself.[/size] [b]~S.A.~ A.K.A. "Taryn"[/b] :angel:[/color]

[color=purple][size=1][i]As they came to the entrance of the village, all of them, with the exception of Miyuki, Tanji, and Kayin, gasped in amazement. Although it was a simple village, the highly detailed houses, the wonderful smells in the air, and the light from the rising sun was simply breathtaking. After taking in all of the beauty, Valerie stopped and thought about this. How could the sun be rising? When did the night come? She didn't remember it getting dark. Miyuki, who seemed to always be able to read the newcomers' thoughts, explained this phenomenon to Valerie.[/i] "It's one of their little tricks. The people of this village have made it so that whenever a stranger arrives, the sun will rise, no matter what time of the day it is. It's not only beautiful, but it's also a great early warning system." [i]Miyuki was right. As they walked into town, the streets were already empty. Valerie looked at the hiding villagers and noticed that their wasn't fear in their face, but anger. "If they're so angry at us, then why are they hiding?" She thought. The group looked ahead. They were not the only ones on the street any longer. A strangely dressed blond boy, who looked like he would be in some of Kaitlen and Valerie's classes if he went to their school, walked up to them and greeted Miyuki.[/i] "Welcome, Miyuki. I see you have some new...guests." [i]He said, looking back at Valerie and the others.[/i] "Hello, Ichiro. Tanji actually found them for me. I thought they seemed like a nice group of people, so I couldn't help but to ask them to come along." [i]Ichiro nodded.[/i] "Yes, of course. But you know the rules. I'll have to bring them to Rujek the Elder before anything. Follow me." [i]By the tone of his voice, Valerie guessed that he only wanted her and the other new people to come along, but Miyuki, Tanji, and Kayin followed anyways.[/i][/size][/color]

[color=purple][size=1][i]Valerie looks around, with a strange look on her face.[/i] "What's wrong, Val?" [i]Kaitlen asks her.[/i] "It's strange...I can hear music too. Can you, Kaitie?" [i]Kaitlen listens.[/i] "Yeah. But...it's inside of my head, not coming from the outside." [i]Tanji looks back at them and explains.[/i] "We're getting closer to the village. One of its many qualities is its love for music." "Then what is there to be afraid of? It sounds like a great place." [i]Daniel asks.[/i] "You shall see once we get there. I am hoping that the villagers will accept all of you." [i]Miyuki replies in a way that none of them like.[/i][/size] [b]OOC: Ugh! Awful post! I hope you like your character's nickname, Skye. ~S.A.~ A.K.A "Taryn"[/b][/color] :angel:

[color=purple][size=1][i]After the vampires had left, Emryss moved from her hiding spot and walked over to the wall with the stained glass window. After she had managed to get beack up to the second floor, she walked over to the walkway in front of the window and looked up at it. In the center of the stained glass designs, their was a single crystal. "Well...here it goes..." She thought as she jumped out the window. It crashed to pieces around in her, and after she rolled and landed on the ground, she found that she held the crystal in her gloved hand.[/i] "Could this be it? Is this the Blood Red Crystal?" [i]She examined it carefully. She found it wasn't even whole.[/i] "Wait a second..." [i]She looked through her tattered journal until she hadfound the page she was looking for.[/i] "This isn't it! This is only a piece of a Locator Crystal!" [i]She said angrily. She almost through it on the ground, but after cooling down, she put it in her backpack. Looking over to her side, she notices some of the people that she had met in the park, plus the half-vampire she had sensed earlier. "Could they have seen me? I'll go talk to them and see what's going on. Maybe they know something I don't." She thought as she walked over to them.[/i] "Hey. I thought I would run into you guys again. It's a little late though, isn't it? What are all of you doing out here?"[/size][/color]

[color=purple][size=1]Hey. Nice to see you again, Annie. Let me know if I need to change anything in my sign up. Expect future changes in my sign up before we start this rpg.[/size] [b]Name:[/b] Allycia Vanessa White [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Species:[/b] Human (Unawakened Angel) [b]Appearance:[/b] Allycia's black hair only comes down to her chin, and she wears small, circular-framed glasses over her blue eyes. She usually wears a baggy, red tanktop which says "Ambion" on it in black, and black shorts and sneakers. [b]Side:[/b] Undecided (For now) [b]Powers:[/b] None (So far) [b]Personality:[/b] Allycia loves to make up fantasy worlds, and she is usually quiet around those she doesn't know. Sometimes she is mistaken for a "bookish" type of person because of her glasses. [b]Biography:[/b] Alllycia has always felt like she was supposed to be more than who she is in life. She couldn't really say how, but she just had a feeling that she isn't living up to her full capabilities. She has no idea, however, that there is a reason behind those feelings. Allycia is one of the few Unawakened Angels in the world. Angels that were thought to be non-existant but were "reincarnated" later. She will soon find out why she sometimes has sharp pains in her shoulder blades when the Angel inside of her finally awakens.[/color]
