[size=1]Roxie, me too. At malls, I always stay away from the edges on the second floor. I can't do the Sky Buckets at Six Flags, and I almost can't do rollercoasters. It's the falling I'm afraid of. Standing on Stone Mountain is fine - as long as I am in the middle of a large group, and not on a slanted part. I have a near phobia of heights, and a near phobia of spiders. Spiders reallly, really scare me. I guess I could say it is a phobia, but not as bad as someone I know. You say the word spider and it scares her. I'm almost that way; I can say spiders, but I can't think about them. XD Gah! Killer dolls! Bad Chucky ghost stories...[/size]

[QUOTE=Retribution][SIZE=1]Oh, but I can. Mu-ha. Treno and I will rise up together and rebel. We will rule the Art Studio with an Iron fist! Only Syk3 can stop us now! Heh. Anyway, the last banner you made was pretty good, I'd say. I only don't like the placement of the girl, and again, doubling her bugs me. But that's my personal taste. And yeah, like Ozy said, text loses it's power and originality if it's overused. But I think you broke the trend in using a new font. w00t to you. [B]Retribution & Treno (and Muse, since it's his wife) will rule soon...[/B][/SIZE][/QUOTE] [size=1]Wattaaboutme?? ??? I like the new font for the last one. It works better than the blocky one. Oh!! I like the stormy effect on the last girl banner/ava set. Very nice. :)[/size]

[size=1]Ryan rolled out of bed and landed on the floor with a solid clunk. The girl picked herself up, muttering imprecations under her breath. She shook her hair out of her face, and headed for the kitchen. She started some coffee, and then made for the shower. She emerged an hour later; she wore a pleated mini-skirt(brown), a turtle-neck(crème), thigh-high socks(white), and ankle boots(black). Brushing her hair back (which just fell into her eyes again), she glared at the malfunctional coffee pot, and grabbed her purse. Locking her front door, she headed for Camella?s for lunch. At the door she was met by Stan. Ryan flashed him a smile, which he returned, and showed her to her normal seat. ?[b]What happened?[/b]? Ryan looked up from her menu. ?[b]What?[/b]? Stan grinned. ?[b]You?re here early. Did you actually pay attention to your alarm clock this time?[/b]? Ryan stuck her tongue out at him, and then laughed. ?[b]Nah, I fell out of bed. And you?re not a waiter ? you?re the singer! Now get back to work![/b]? She poked him.Then she added, ?[b]Oh, and the Theatre is doing Cats tonight! Be there, okay?[/b]? She knew he probably wouldn?t but it would be good to try. She poked him again and he laughed, leaving for the stage. Ryan nearly jumped as the chair next to her was pulled out. ?[b]Geez Louise, J.T.! Warn me next time, why don?t yah?[/b]? The dark haired man smiled softly. ?[b]Sorry, Ryan.[/b]? OOC: Well, that is certainly a way to get involved. XD[/size]

[QUOTE=FireMage] The only thing I have any real problem with is the lack of differing fonts. I mean, what if there were a tonne of people with the same font in their banner? It'd be like, "[insert font-name here] Takes Over Otakuboards"[/QUOTE] [size=1]Geez, yeah. :sweat: Ozy Jones has made so many banners already. ^_^ I'm suprised Treno did mine before she did. Wow. I always like yours. I like the ones you made with Reiko on it. Those are really nice. :) I keep going back to look at them. I'm probably going to save these and use one eventually. 'Nuf said.[/size]

[size=1][color=indigo]Velvet looked down. ?[b]We?ve never had a relationship; but I ? I wouldn?t call it experimenting, either.[/b]? Sol was silent. The silence continued, and then Velvet said: ?[b]Sol, I do love you. I always have. But? you?re to much like an older brother to me.[/b]? Sol nodded, and then hugged her. ?[b]Hey, it?s okay, Velvet. I just ? needed to know.[/b]? He left, and Velvet was alone. She sat on her bed, her mind whirling. She had just told Sol no. And it hadn?t hurt him. That was so hard for her to believe, but it lifted a weight off her shoulders. Looking up at the creak of the door and the floorboards, Velvet burst into tears. Gentle arms went around her as Carly sat down. Velvet buried her face in the older women?s shoulder, and they sat there for ten minutes while Carly cooed to her softly. ?[b]Carly, I hate this![/b]? ?[b]I know, Vel, I know. Sometimes you wish this had never happened.[/b]? Velvet nodded, and Carly still held her. ?[b]God, how much I need a real mother figure.[/b]? She smiled softly, resting. ?[b]And god how tired crying makes me.[/b]? OOC: Tag, Arika![/size][/color]

[size=1]Yes. I don?t have to think about it. Yes. This sounds selfish, but I would not be able to look at their body ? no soul home ? forever in a coma, and hope they would get better. They wouldn?t I wouldn?t be able to watch them die before my eyes, not like that, when ?they? were already gone. My mom has it written that if she gets in an accident, if the doctors can help her recover, then they may. But if she is going to live the rest of her life in pain, or crippled, she wants them to end it. That would be really hard for me to get over, but it is what she wants, and I love her. So yes. Mouse[/size]

[size=1]PWEE!!! *huggles Sean to death* ^_________________________^ Thankiesmuchness, Sean-chan![/size]

[size=1]Cassidy stared in disbelief at the guy. ?[b]He?s fucking crazy![/b]? She looked down at the people she had known. ?[b]But?[/b]? The brunette sighed, and said, ?[b]C?mon, guys. We need all the help we can get. And since there?s no hospital?[/b]? She dropped to her knees, looked at the unconscious boy on the ground, and reached for his head, placing hands firmly on each side. ?[b]Cassidy! We can?t kill them?![/b]? ?[b]There?s no hospital, Marcus! They?ll die anyway! Better they die painlessly, and by the hands of their friends.[/b]? Before she could be stopped, the girl closed her eyes, and turned her band mate?s head sharply, snapping his neck. Cassidy heard the sickening crap, and let go, tears running down her face. There was silence from the other three near her, and she didn?t move. Her eyes were open, staring at her own hands. ?[b]I did kill him. Oh my god?[/b]? Cassidy stood, quickly unfolding her long legs to stand at her height of 5?11?. She looked down at the dead boy on the ground, and then looked to the other still unconscious boy. ?[b]Do I have to kill him, too? Or will one of you? Because we need that mans help, and if we lose track of him?[/b]? No one volunteered, and so Cassidy proceeded to break the other boys neck. Then she got back in the van, and lay down in the back, curled up and sobbing silently to herself. OOC: :)[/size]

[size=1]*takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly* I am not going to cry... aw, hell. If I cry, I cry. My first experiance with death was my grandfather passing away three days before New Years, 2004. He was in the hospital the whole time we (my mother, my brother, and I) were down in Florida. I was never told how he died, except he knew he was ready to go, and refused drugs. He wanted to know when he was gone. If I had the chance... The night we got to Jacksonville, we went straight to the hospital, and visited him. I hugged him, but I didn't say anything. I didn't go to the hospital again before he died. I regret having not said anything. *takes another deep breath* I would have said what I always said when we went down to visit: "I love you, Grandpa." And I wish he had decided to spend his last days at home. That way, when he was gone, I could tell. It wouldn't seem like he was still at the hospital. And if he had come home, I would have been able to say "I love you" one more time. Okay, I'll go cry now. Bye, guys.[/size]

[QUOTE=Generic NPC #3]Have you ever seen that show... It's some English show that's usually on PBS about people who work at some department store. I have no idea what the name is. Anyway, there's an old lady on there that always has purple or pink hair. I don't think you want to look like her lol.[/QUOTE] [size=1]XD 'Are You Being Served'. I've seen it, and I know who you're talking about. Yeah, as long as she doesn't put her hair UP, she should be fine. :sweat: Anyone know a good brand for highlighting hair in light golds and dark reds?[/size]

[size=1]Thanks, Sean. *huggles* Good idea. :) I can wait. And I gotsa quote that should work: Illegally Beautiful.[/size]

[size=1]Wow. Now the avatar is more... seductive. Like she's saying come and get me. :) THat I will take. I guess I should just change the quote for the banner... it's the quote that don't match.[/size]

[size=1]O.O That's really neat, Sean. But it's more... mysterious.. than naughty. I really like the effect, though, and I'll use it if I don't get any other replies. Because I still like it. :)[/size]

[size=1]Okay, I need a new banner an avatar. The pink is starting to get to me. Theme: It?s rather general. Naughty and red, though not to overboard, and around the same size all of mine are. :) Quote: I always was a sucker for a red head. And my name. :) The avatar doesn?t have to have any writing on it, just have it match the banner. Thanks! Mouse[/size]

[color=pink]Hehe, yeah, I was about to say: to late. XD[/color]

[color=pink]Alicia was silent as she was held down, heart beating like the wings of a butterfly. [I]Tre?[/I] She looked up to the man holding her down, and said, her voice calm and commanding, ?[b]Would you let me up. Now?[/b]? The man seemed slightly surprised at how strong she was. Alicia was out from under him, and was dressing quickly. She ignored the man completely, and was out of the room in seconds. She passed through shadows and light with equal concern. Ghostly hands grabbed at her, but she stepped into the light, ignoring them. Alicia was walking quickly, hair hanging loose down her back. She followed her insincts, and ended up at a door that said ?Master? on it in embossed gold lettering. Without hesitation she opened the door. It swung open easily, and she stepped in, eyes flaring in anger. ?[b]You are a bastard, you know that?[/b]? The man was watching her from his seat, looking sickly amused. Alicia?s hands clenched at her sides as she kicked the door closed. ?[b]And don?t bother giving me a speech, old man, about how I should not look for Tre.[/b]? The Master chuckled. ?[b]I wasn?t going to. It?s pointless anyway, and if the ghosts get you, what concern of mine is it? It will take you off the list, though, and make Tre un-useful.[/b]? Alicia was barely containing her rage. ?[b]You?re screwing with our heads!![/b]? The man nodded. ?[b]Hmm. Yes, I think that is it.[/b]? He nodded again, and Alicia was seized by two burly men. She struggled, nearly slipping from their grasp before she was knocked out. The Master sniffed disdainfully. ?[b]Pitiful. Make sure she forgets this, won?t you?[/b]? Alicia was carried back to her room, unconscious. OOC: Hope that was okay, Kairi. :)[/color]

[color=pink]OOC: I?ll put up spoilers. :) Alicia?s breath caught in her throat, and she looked up to him, eyes bright with tears and love. Her voice was soft, and she pulled his head down next to hers, lips tickling his ear, ?[b]I love you, too. Don?t leave me ? please.[/b]? Tre smiled, a true smile. ?[b]I?d never leave you, ever.[/b]? Alicia smiled back. [spoiler]Her lips gently caressed his earlobe as he slipped her top down over her shoulders, hands gently touching her skin. His lips moved to hers, tongue tracing her lips. His lips slid down her cheek and her neck, gently biting and licking her. She gasped, letting her head fall back. Alicia?s hands clutched at his shoulders as Tre?s lips moved to her shoulder, and her shirt came unlaced and fell to the bed beneath them. ?[b]Tre ? oh, God-[/b]? His tongue led a wet trail down her skin, leaving a tingling feeling in her chest. She felt him hesitate, and her hands went to his face, bringing him back for another kiss. They broke it breathlessly, and Alicia gazed at him, smiling.[/spoiler] ?[b]Did I mention how much I love you?[/b] Tre laughed, still smiling. OOC: Tag.[/color]

[size=1]Home to me is a two-story house with a backyard that has a swing set and a trampoline and a dog and tons of sweetgum trees - oh, and the cats. :). I lived in that house for years of my life, and I remember it so well. Getting up in the morning, getting dressed, going down stairs where my grandmother would have cereal and milk or pancakes ready, and I would eat before going out to the bus stop. The bus stop was right next to the stop sign on the corner, in our front yard, and my friends from up and down the street, round the neighborhood would come and we'd wait for the bus. I was so attached to that house; in the back yard was a pink little house, a shed, that my grandfather had built for my aunt, and it kept our bikes. In the yard in front of the fence, beside the house, Misty the cat was buried. She's probably decayed by now - that was years ago. My other home was a small three bedroom apartment with a tiny kitchen and adjoining dining room and livingroom. Everytime I would visit my grandparents, I would be reluctant to leave. Now that I live in a house, I don't mind so much; I'm not attached to the house yet. I was very depressed when my grandparents moved to a new house; my dad and aunt had grown up in that house, and so had I. :) I can't imagine living anywhere where I wasn't loved. Despite sibling quarells, I love my little brother, and I couldn't imagine life without him. If he moves to Massachusets to go to shool, I'll go too.[/size]

[size=1][color=indigo]OOC: Yeah, you go sleep if you need to. ;) I?m gonna put spoilers up, so no one has to read what they don?t want to. [spoiler]Velvet let her tongue trace Leslie?s lips, her hand resting on the other girls thigh. The other went to Leslie?s waist, and the girls lied down on the floor, Velvet on top of Leslie. Their lips were still locked, and the younger girl slid a hand up Leslie?s shirt. Velvet broke the kiss, lips trailing down Leslie?s cheek and to her collarbone. Leslie gasped as Velvet?s hand touched sensitive skin beneath the skirt. The girls wore nearly identical outfits, and Leslie unbuttoned Velvet?s skirt. ?[b]Velvet? are you-[/b]? Velvet pressed a finger to the girls lips, and slipped their tank tops off. Her lips traveled farther down Leslie?s torso, fingers working at the buttons on Leslie?s skirt as she kicked her own away. She paused to listen for sounds of Julia, but heard none. Suddenly, Velvet took one of Leslie?s nipples in her mouth, trace around with her tongue. Leslie gasped lightly and her back arched.[/spoiler] [I]Why?[/I] The girls jerked up, and looked to the window. Sol and Shaun knelt on the window sill, and Sol?s face was one of pure rage. Velvet hurried to dress, anger boiling up inside of her. OOC: Tag, Spencer.[/size][/color]

[color=pink]Alicia looked slightly annoyed as she slipped a hand to her neck. She easily disengaged the camera, letting it get crushed between her and the couch. The girl covered her annoyed look with one of mischief, and she traced Tre?s mouth with her finger. ?[b]With me, of course. Only one bed.[/b]? Tre didn?t seem to have expected that answer, but he didn?t look unhappy about it. Alicia tuned the lights down a little, so it was calm but not shadowy. She remembered the warning about the ghosts, and she took it seriously. The two didn?t go to the bed, though. Alicia found herself suddenly kissing Tre, hands laced through his hair. His tongue traced her lips, and she returned the caress before pulling back slowly. Alicia?s eyes were misted over slightly, and she looked away. ?[b]I shouldn?t have done that, Tre, I?m sorry?[/b]? The woman pulled away from him, standing. She walked over to the bed, and slid in, to the far side, not looking at him. OOC: Whee! :) TO much funsies.[/color]

[size=1][color=indigo]?[b]No![/b]? Velvet reached out and pulled Julia back in the house, and the girls nearly identical eyes flashed. [I]You can?t keep letting yourself be beaten, Julia! What? I?m not! You are! He?s battering your mind, and I won?t let you take this by yourself! I?m not you, Velvet! I can take this! I know you?re not me! That is not the point! You?re only human![/I] Julia stopped trying to fight, and slid to the floor. Velvet knelt next to her, and looked at her sternly. ?[b]You go take a long, hot bath ? not a shower ? and I?ll order pizza.[/b]? Velvet smiled softly. ?[b]We?ll watch some movies and have a pillow fight. We need to loosen up.[/b]? Julia nodded blankly. Velvet hoped she hadn?t hurt the girls mind while getting her point through. She helped Julia stand, and they went back to Velvet?s room. Soon Julia was in the bathroom, and Velvet ordered a large pepperoni pizza and cheese sticks. She and Leslie dragged out Velvet?s large collection of movies, and waited as the pizza came. Velvet looked over to Leslie, and scooted closer. She hesitantly put an arm around Leslie, and kissed the girl before she had a chance to move away. Velvet looked into Leslie?s startled eyes, and said, ?[b]Leslie?[/b]? OOC: Tag. ;)[/size][/color]

[color=pink]Alicia scooted over, allowing him space. She paused the movie, and looked at him. ?[b]I locked that door, Tre.[/b]? Tre just shrugged, and smiled at her. Alicia sighed, and relaxed. Tre slipped an arm around her shoulder, and she rested her head on his shoulder, suddenly realizing how much she needed the companionship. Her stomach rumbled, but she ignored it as the movie played. Tre?s arm went around her waist, and he kissed her forehead lightly. Alicia flushed, but smiled. She hugged him tightly. ?[b]I kind of missed having someone to talk to.[/b]? She looked at him warmly. An hour later, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King was over, and Alicia hopped up, turning off the TV. She looked at Tre. ?[b]Bedtime. I?ll see you in the morning, neh?[/b]? Tre looked slightly uncomfortable. ?[b]Could I stay here?[/b]? Alicia laughed. ?[b]Sure. I don?t mind. Let me get dressed.[/b]? She still had her robe on, so she disappeared into the bathroom with her pajamas. OOC: Tag, Spencer.[/color]

[color=pink]Alicia watched as the Master left, curiosity getting the better of her as she unfolded the card. She read it carefully, and then folded it up and slid it in a pocket. She stirred her food around on her plate, but refused to eat, smiling pleasantly. [b]?Well, that was interesting. I?m tired; I will be seeing everyone later.?[/b] The girl stood, winking at Tre across the table, and left, heading for her room. The tall pillars in the main hall cast long shadows, and she stepped around them carefully. Her stomach rumbled in protest, but she ignored it. She often had to do so when work called, and this was a small feat. [i]No doubt this will become exceedingly difficult, though. Of course...[/i] Alicia locked the door to her room, turning the lights on high. She grabbed a robe, and stepped into the bathroom, and ran the master bath full of rose-scented water. While the bath was running, she took out a bottle of vitamin supplements, and a glass of water. She looked at the glass, and finally decided that water did not constitute as food, and thus, she could not eat it. She downed the full glass and the vitamins and stripped, sliding into the hot tub. The young woman lay there for a while, and then got out, dripping. She dried off, and wrapped herself in her robe before letting out the water and going to watch TV. OOC: I hope that wasn?t violating it. ;_; I tried, I really did. :
