[size=1][color=indigo]Velvet was still blushing, and quickly returned the kiss before grabbing a pleated mini-skirt in indigo, a whit tank top, and some other things. She handed them to Leslie, and stepped out of the closet, slowly closing the door behind her. She listened as Leslie got dressed, and went downstairs to find Julia. Someone rang the doorbell, and Velvet opened it, her face still warm. It was Sol and Sean. She smiled at them, and raised an eyebrow questioningly. [b]?Your face is red.?[/b] Velvet blinked a couple times, and then replied, ?[b]Leslie just took a shower and there?s steam everywhere. You two need something?[/b]? Sol began talking to her mentally, in private. [i]Velvet, I?m worried about you. We don?t even know- Sol, are you jealous or something? What? No, I-[/i] Velvet shut down her mind to him, but smiled at Shaun. ?[b]All right, you two, go home. You know we girls are fine.?[/b] She punched Sol?s arm playfully, but slightly harder than if she had actually been playing. She could feel Sol?s hurt feelings directed at her, but she didn?t respond. ?[b]Okay, lover boy, lets go.[/b]? Shaun practically dragged Sol down the steps, laughing. Velvet had the door closed before they were even off the porch. She stood in the hallway, suppressing anger. OOC: Tag anyone.[/size][/color]

[color=pink]Penny listened with her head cocked, slightly confused at all the information she was receiving. She blinked a couple times, getting mixed feelings as she listened to the people around her talking. [b]"And so, in closing..."[/b] Araby gathered his papers into a neat stack. [b]"Until the cause of this temporal shift has been discovered, I'm afraid all agents will be staying here."[/b] Penny knocked her head on the table with a groan. She left her head resting on the table, saying things under her breath. [b]"Yes, I realize this is an inconvienience for you...but the altenative is much less pleasant."[/b] Penny let out a very audable sigh as he said this; yes, yes, they all knew this. Would he get on the with the obvious and tell them something they needed to know? Penny was quiet as she heard Araby go back to the podium. [b]"And I almost forgot...would agents Diamond, Forsythe, Hayes, Henderson, Jones, MaBelle, Maxwell, Rhodes and Stanly please report to Director Riggs immediatly."[/b] Penny sat straight up as she heard her last name called, and looked at Araby with eyes wide in disbelief. She blinked a couple times, standing automatically at the command. Then she shook herself, and headed for Rigg?s office. She stepped sideways as Bulldog went barreling past, and raised an eyebrow quizzically at Riggs. ?[b]Sonofa? Ah, Forsythe. My apologies for his? behavior.[/b]? Penny did not question, and just smiled. ?[b]None needed, sir.[/b]? OOC: X3 I am so sorry, Ozy! *clings* Please forgive me! ;_;[/color]

[size=1]EDIT: I'm sorry, Cyriel, I would have liked to do this RPG, but my creative streak his suddenly disappeared. Apologies, Mouse[/size]

[size=1]Alicia felt a shock go through her as their hands touched, and she looked up at him, their eyes locking. She quickly took the plate, and looked down at it, hiding her obvious blush. They ate in silence, and then things were normal. Alicia began talking about her work with Tre, who seemed fascinated, before they took out the X-Box, and began play. The pair had been playing games on the X-Box when a servant came in to tell them dinner was ready. She was very polite and precise, not smiling once, which disturbed Alicia. She smiled fleetingly at Tre before disappearing into her room and quickly changing into a skirt and sandals with a halter top. Tre smiled at how quickly she changed, and how she looked. ?[b]You look beautiful.[/b]? Alicia flushed. ?[b]Thank you, Tre.[/b]? That was all she mumbled as she took his arm, and the servant led the way to the dining room. Alicia acutely felt Tre?s warmth as they walked down the hall, and pairs and singles joined them. Alicia finally looked over the rest of the people who had come, and smiled at each one. They all walked in a group, and Alicia began talking with a pair she found named Imogen and Xander. Two large wooden doors opened inward into a large room; the dining room was circular, with a large, circular mahogany table in the center. The Master sat at one of fourteen spots, and Alicia caught a glimpse of maliciousness in his eyes before it was replaced with old age and a smile. The girl and Tre sat down as servants bustled about, setting things on the table, pulling out chairs and helping everyone be seated. Alicia was seated near the Master before she realized she had been separated from Tre and was now sitting next to another girl and a man; both she had not met yet. She looked down the small way to the Master, hands folded neatly in her lap. OOC: SO sorry for my lack of posting, everyone! I hope this made up for it![/size]

[b]Name:[/b] Stephanie Cannon [b]Age:[/b] 15 [b]Appearance:[/b] Steph stands 5?6?, with a almost perfect figure(36, 24, 32), and nearly olive skin. The reason her skin isn?t olive is because of it?s pink undertones, making anything look good on her. Her face is slightly square, with a long, round nose, and lips that are simple and pink. She has long arms and legs, artistic hands, and she is almost always smiling. Her eyes are slightly Asian shaped, hazel, and her hair is mid-back length and wavy. In the summer, it is the color of tiger-maple wood: brown red and gold. In the winter, the gold fades out almost completely, and her hair turns mahogany: very dark brown and red. She wears whatever she feels like; girly, tomboyish, sporty, whatever feels comfortable to her. [b]Personality:[/b] Stephanie is happy-go-lucky, but her attitude can change in a second. She is very much a teenager, flirty, fun, but gets depressed easily. Unlike many others, though, she doesn?t STAY depressed for any long period of time. X3 Night_angel, only one character.

[size=1][color=indigo]OOC: SO sorry! I slept all day because of cramps. >.< IC: Velvet gradually composed herself, and looked to Sammy, Sol, Rita, and Carly. ?[b]Okay, everyone.[/b]? Her gaze turned to Leslie, Shaun, and Julia. ?[b]Here?s what we do. Everyone stay in pairs.[/b]? Sol moved closer to Velvet, and the girl shook her head. [b]?Sorry, Sol. Let us all see if we can arrange sleep overs or something; the Sandman won?t leave us alone now that he knows we saw him. Shaun and Sol, since you two are the only guys, you two can stay together. I?m with Julia and Leslie; I can?t afford to leave the two of them alone.[/b]? Leslie looked indignant, but didn?t say anything. Carly directed a thought at Velvet: [I]So you?re saddling me with Sammy and Rita?[/I] Velvet nodded, and Sammy looked slightly mad, but she didn?t say anything. Velvet glanced at Leslie and Julia. ?[b]All right, everyone, get going. And don?t say anything to anyone about this![/b]? Velvet turned on a heel, and made for her house. OOC: Sorry it?s short, I?m braindead.[/size][/color]

[size=1]OOC: Oops. I called Alicia Amelia didn?t I? XD Yeah, Alicia, not Amelia. And geez, people! I?m having fun keeping up! IC: Alicia stood looking up at the arched ceiling. The ceiling was carefully sculpted, and painted. She turned to a wall, and ran her fingers across it, feeling the texture of the tiger-maple wood. The woman turned as she felt someone?s eyes rest on her. Her eyes locked with a pair of dark brown eyes she thought she would never see again in her life. [b]?Umm...hey...my name's Tre...?[/b] Alicia gasped. Her eyes locked on a pair of familiar brown eyes, and Alicia nearly fell over, only her hand on the wall steadying her. [b]?Tre? Oh my goodness? it?s really you??[/b] Tre seemed to brighten considerably at her recognition, and she flung her arms around him in a hug. He hugged her back gently, and she had a grin plastered on her face. The girl was nearly bouncing in place with glee. Alicia calmed herself down, but couldn?t wipe the grin off her face. [b]?Wow? I mean, how have you been?[/b]? Tre smiled, admitting that he had been fairly good. The two went towards the rooms, and Tre?s was right across the hall from Alicia?s. The went into her room, talking about everything that had happened while they had been dodging around one another. Alicia stopped still. She gaped at the huge king mattress with it?s dark indigo comforter, large lush pillows, and canopy. She took off her shoes, leaving them next to the door as her feet sank deep into the black carpet. The walls were a shiny black, and a flat-screen plasma TV lined a whole wall. The ceiling arched high above their heads, and Alicia turned circles, setting down her suitcases. ?[b]Dear God, I wonder what your room looks like![/b]? Tre nodded in agreement, and Alicia ran across the floor to a door. It opened into a large closet, already decked out with the type of clothed she liked to wear. An armoire made of tiger-maple sat next to the door. Another door across the room, next to her bed, opened into a large marble bathroom. The tub was huge. Alicia came back out, flopping down on the bed, her grin even bigger. ?[b]Geez, Tre, I?m in heaven![/b]?[/size]

[size=1][color=indigo]Velvet had managed to regain her energy, and glared at Sammy and Sol. The other?s were watching them quietly. [b]?I?m sorry, Carly, Julia. These two fight like siblings sometimes.?[/b] She looked up at the other girl. ?[b]I didn?t manage to catch your name before.[/b]? The girl smiled. ?[b]Rita. It?s all right. But? who is David?[/b]? Velvet bit her lip. Then she took a deep breath and began: ?[b]David is? a boy from our neighbor hood. He was a friend of ours.[/b]? Then she explained the Sandman story to Carly and Rita. Velvet looked over to the boy who had introduced himself as Shaun; he had been very quiet. ?[b]Are you going to try to get him back?[/b]? Velvet nodded, and bit her tongue as a pair of hands touched her shoulders. She spun, and busted up laughing. ?[b]Geez, Les, don?t scare me like that![/b]? The younger girl looked sheepish, and then told that she had heard. Velvet nodded. ?[b]Okay, we need to figure something out. What exactly can everyone do? I mean, I?m a telepath, and I feel and control emotions.[/b]? OOC: Slow down, people, I?m having fun keeping up. ^^;[/size][/color]

[size=1]Unlike what most would say, I am not, in fact, Wiccan. :p I have been considering many different religions, even Christianity. I, myself, am a Unitarian Universalist. Let me give you all the mission statement for my congregation and I'll let you decide for yourselves what it means(see? true UU) The Unitarian Universalist COngregation of Gwinnett is a supportive religious community who's purposes are to explore spirituality, celebrate humanity, and respect diversity. I honestly don't think about whether God is or isn't. Something is there; maybe it can all be explained by science one day when we become advanced enough. Maybe there is a Diety that controls how the universe works. Whatever it is, I am thankful for just being alive. :) I am a witch, but I have been considering Christianity. So, I have no real religion, not really.[/size]

[size=1][color=indigo]Velvet put a hand to her temple, slowly letting down her shields. Her eyes went wide, and she physically shielded herself and Sol. Sol raised an eyebrow. ?[b]People, Sol? three of them. They feel us.[/b]? Velvet straightened to her full height, and mentally called only to the three, [I]We?re here.[/I] Sol looked at Velvet in shock. ?[b]Velvet![/b]? Velvet shook her head. From three different directions came three women. Velvet locked eyes with the youngest ? Sol stared at her. [I]She looks like you, Velvet.[/I] The girl nodded. Velvet looked to the girl who seemed to be her twin. The girl was watching her in disbelief. It was obvious how much the girls looked alike. Velvet moved forward, as did the other girl. Their hands touched, and Velvet gasped as a shock went through her. [I]Julia. Velvet.[/I] The girls knew each other?s names in an instant. A connection ran through them, their abilities being the same as well as their looks. Thoughts and memories whirled through both minds, and the girls folded into an embrace, sinking to their knees on the pavement. [I]I?msosorryI- NoI?msorry-[/I] [b]?Velvet!?[/b] The girls snapped out of their shared misery. They had been there only mere seconds, and it felt like they had known one another their whole lives. Velvet looked to Sol.[/size][/color]

[size=1]Okay, I'd like to draw everyone's attention to something: tsunami. The Tsunami that happened, killed millions (or whatever it was)? That certainly would have an effect on the weather everywhere else. That's partially why California got so battered; leftovers off the tsunami. And then there were all those hurricanes back in Spetember. :) Weather has an effec on weather.[/size]

[color=pink]Maya smiled, and the little spirit on her arm glowed warm. It?s long, sinuous tail reached out and wrapped around Cainan?s arm. The boy startled, and looked at it in disbelief. ?Apparently Hyurr likes you.? She smiled, and then her eyes caught on someone in the stands. She was breathless. ?Oh, wow? Jordan, Kin-ha, look!? Maya discreetly pointed to a girl in the stands. She was up at the top, and her skin shone iridescent in the sunlight. Her dark red-orange hair was loose, falling to just past her knees in waves. ?Wow? isn?t she gorgeous?? The girl looked down at them, and smiled. Maya flushed with embarrassment at being caught staring, and looked down. When she looked up, the girl was gone. Maya seemed confused, and also realized that the girls hair? it was the same red as her own. Maya looked around, and couldn?t find her. She sighed, and sat back to watch the game.[/color]

[size=1][color=indigo]Velvet felt Sol?s mind probing for hers, but she was so confused by the Sandman?s appearance that she was giving him confused directions. She finally cleared her mind, and sent out a touch to Sol. [I]Sol? I?m here? sorry?[/I] She felt his mental ears perk up. He locked on her location, and was soon there. Velvet smiled meekly, and then her face became serious. [I]Sol, something is very wrong. Sandman-[/I] Sol was alert, looking around. Velvet shook her head, and touched his shoulder, showing him briefly what she had seen. Sol cringed; Velvet?s sending power was strong, and the teen had to tone it down slightly. [b]?Sol, he?s gone. He-?[/b] Her voice choked up, and Sol put an arm around her shoulders gently. [b]?Velvet??[/b] The girl looked down, eyes watering. [b]?He took David, Sol.?[/b] Sol gently pulled her to him, and she cried into his shoulder. Her emotions were pouring through them, down into the ground, dispersing so they would do no one harm. Velvet?s empathetic abilities were amazing; she was very strong. Velvet sniffled once, and then composed herself. She felt a mental touch ? and stiffened. She locked up her defense system that made any one looking for her just seem to? not see her. She wasn?t there, no, you don?t want me? that was what it did. Sol looked confused. [b]?Someone?s looking for me.?[/b][/size][/color]

[size=1][b]WARNING:[/b] To everyone who plans to read this, this is likely to be graphic in every aspect put in the title. Don?t say you weren?t warned? [color=pink]The chapter system is to keep it smooth, though what happens during that chapter is up to the players. Main objective of Chronicle One: to rescue David. Destroying Sandman probably will not happen, but if it does, I will personally PM everyone, and that means there will be no Chronicle Two. Hopefully, though, we can pull this off this time. Each Chronicle will contain 7 Chapters, each, but each Chapter will be fairly long. At the beginning of each chapter I will put up the objective. So, who?s ready to play? Players/Characters: Sunofexiles - Samantha ?Sammy? Scope Kittychannan - Rita Symphonic Reise - Shaun Glacier Sonata - Liaou "Leslie" Gardner Tash - Sol Armstrong Neuvoxetere - Carly Matthews Simplicity - Julia Reeves Rhian(me) -Velvet Letrain[/color] [center][color=indigo]An old man sat at a fire. He was surrounded by the village children. He smiled lovingly, and began his tale. ?There was a man. Father Time, you know of. This was Father Time?s son, Sandman. Sandman has lived as long as Time, and won?t die till Time does ? or until someone takes his place. Sandman was just human, to begin with. But he was immortal. Once he reached the older age, 60 years, he stopped aging. He came to children as a kind old man, and put them to sleep by dusting their eyes with sand. This man was always kindly, and always his magic wore off with the sun?s rising. But, there was a tale of the Sandman kidnapping. Children started to disappear, and then come back a week later. It was said that Sandman was tired of his job, and wanted someone else to take over. So he gave possible ones a trial, and none have been worthy yet for training. But I must warn you: do not accept the Sandman so easily. The ones that returned ? some didn?t ? came back maimed and lame. Some came back haunted. The Trial of the Sandman is no trivial task.? I understand you?ve been running from the man That goes by the name of the sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye Of a hurricane that?s abandoned.[/center] [center]Chapter One: Finding Sandman[/center] The street was silent, and nothing moved in the rain but two people on opposite sides of the road. No cars came, and the houses that lined the street were dark. They loomed silently above the two loners, and a ghostly presence told them to stay away. On one side of the street, the person was a girl. She was only 12, but she could pass for a 16 year old. Her name was Velvet, and the rain did not hinder her. She had nowhere to go, and the rain was no problem. Opposite of her, was a young man. He was 17, and his parents had kicked him out of the house. He could not make out much about Velvet, except that she was there. His name was David. He sat on the sidewalk near his house, and didn?t expect to be let in. A white limo drove up, slow so as not to slosh muddy water on the two. David looked up, and one window rolled down. An older man, maybe 60, smiled at him from inside. ?Do you need a lift, young man?? David shivered, then shrugged. Someone stepped out of the front of the car, holding an umbrella. David blinked rainwater out of his eyes as the rain stopped pelting him. The door to the limo opened, and the umbrella was held over David. The man was still smiling. He held out a robe, and David slipped it on before getting in the car. He took off his shoes as the man closed the door. Velvet watched from the other side of the road, her 12-year-old brain working fast. Something?s not right. I can feel it. She blinked once, to clear her eyes ? and the limo was gone. Velvet?s empathy was in turmoil. The magic used was strong, and even a minor could feel it. The girl started running, slamming her shields up. She tried to sort it out. Then it clicked. I could see the old man. His eyes: he was older than he looked. The butler: he, too, was older. And the car ? Velvet stopped, and turned to look at the road again. Sandman.[/color][/size]

[size=1]Well, I have high-lighted my hair: once. And it was only to enhance the natural gold that my hair poseses. Tht was three years back, and I haven't gotten it re-done. I have a natural tigfer-maple color in my hair(red-brown with tones of gold tossed in), and the gold comes from being in the sun so much. :) I have a picture of five minutes after I came home from the salon after getting my hair dyed. Unfortunatley, the lighting really sucked, so you can hardly see my hair at all. XD After a whole winter of not going outside, of course, my hair turns mahogany instead of tiger-maple - the gold disappears and my hair is a really dark brown-red. [img]http://img111.exs.cx/img111/7760/moihair0gm.jpg[/img] Two years ago, in January. That's the best I could do to show you my natural hair color. I'm planning to get white-gold highlights and maroon lowlights before highschool starts.[/size]

[color=pink]?Hi!? Jordan jumped as Maya sat down next to him, a big grin plastered on her face. ?Man, you are so much fun to scare!? She hugged him lightly, and patted the seat next to her. Kin-ha appeared and sat down, still quiet. Maya was wearing a pair of red harem-cargo pants, and had the ends of the legs draw tightly at her knees. She also wore sandals, and a spaghetti strap shirt in the same red, with a black leather jacket. Oddly, the red matched her hair, and she had a huge grin on her face. For a moment, Jordan thought he saw a fire-red dragon on her shoulder before he blinked and it was gone. Maya looked over at him. She laughed at the look on his face. ?You saw her, didn?t you?? Her grin got bigger, and she reached up to her shoulder. The small dragon gradually became visible to Kin-ha and Jordan, while curling around Maya?s arm. ?She?s Hyurr, a fire spirit.? She smiled widely. ?Now you see why I was so interested in spirits?/ I?ve got hoards of them following me all the time.? OOC: Whee! See what I mean about naïve, Bryan?[/color]

[size=1]Geez, no girls yet? Dude? [b]Name:[/b] Cassidy Denver [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Appearance:[/b] [url= http://www.psycko-manga.de/gallery/babe/40-2.htm]Cassidy & Aimee[/url] (Cassidy is in the back; one with the brown hair) [b]Strengths:[/b] Cassidy has a way with words. She loves writing lyrics, and has written half of the band?s songs. Cassidy also plays keyboard, and her hands are long and graceful, artists hands. She also loves to play soccer, along with Marcus and Zack. [b]Short Biography:[/b] Cassidy has always felt slightly shut out, as being one of the only girls in the band. She?s single, but that isn?t exactly her fault. Ever since Marcus broke up with Andrea, she?s been trying to show him her affection, but he seems totally immune. Thus, Cassidy seems far away from the rest of the band, as no one [I]really[/I] pays attention to her. The gig was exhilarating, but something about it was just [I]wrong[/I]? :) Hope this is okay, guys.[/size]

[color=magenta]Yeah, Altron's right. :) Tash and I are trying very hard not to post again. This RPG will die if the rest of the posters don't take initiative. Geez, that's a long word for me to be spelling when I'm half asleep. XD[/color]

[size=1]Yume, edit next time. XD Now let me see... 1) I am the only person in my group of friends who can settle an argument peacefully. 2) I am the stability factor in my household. 3) Kyuai would kill himself if I died. 4) I haven't recorded my hit single yet! 5) I haven't met my idols yet. 6) I haven't met half you pipples yets! 7) I wanna go to the Ren Fest again! AHEM... erm... >.>[/size]

[QUOTE=Juuthena][size=1]=O! Evanescence [i]killed[/i] me during a performance two years ago. I believe I also caught a cold after that as well. 'My Immortal' and 'Tourniquet'. Bah. ¬¬ For a while I thought acid was actually bad for zee throat, since all these singers would complain about acid reflux giving them scratchy voices and such. But that comes from junk foods, right? o_o; Wellll either way, I'll have to take my dad out to get some orange juice. I am soo sick of lemonade. [/size][/QUOTE] [size=1]I wa sin Florida round New Years, had a really bad cold(I had trouble breathing at all), and I snad Tourniquet. It cleared my sinuses so well I sang it everytime I started to get stuffed up again. XD Acid reflux is where acid from your stomach gets into your lungs. It has nothing to do with your throat.[/size]

[size=1]You're welcome, Juuness. Orange juice sounds like a good plan; it has the Vitamin C and the acid that will help to clear your throat. :) Yeah, my mom doesn't rely on medicine, either, because letting your body fight it off makes your immune system stronger. Yeah, I think junko had it switched around. Singing helps stuffy noses(especially singing Evanescence; ask me how I know.).[/size]

[QUOTE=junkobakaiba] [font=Verdana][font=Comic Sans MS][size=1][color=navy]Oh and (at least according to my school?s chorus teacher) stuffy noses really help with singing![/color][/size][/font][/font][/font][/QUOTE] [size=1]Actually, it's the other way around. Singing helps clear the sinuses(if you can breathe enough to do so).[/size]

[size=1]Dang, I hate strepp. FIrst: no milk. Milk is really bad if you are trying to sing, and so is mint tea. Coke or some type of soda with a lot of fizz is good right before a performance. I usually have to take medicine for strepp, so I don't know what is going on with that. Try not to talk to much if you don't have too; it will help your voice com eback quicker. Other than that, I can't help you. Of course, you could find a way to make yourself cry until you're very tired. That should clear your sinuses, and sleep always helps when your sick. :) Good luck, Juu-san.[/size]

[color=pink]Jeez, this is great. O.O So many sign ups so fast. I feel so loved! AHEM. Just my opinion on everyone?s sign ups(so far): [b]Natsu[/b], this looks pretty good. I like this. :) [b]Sean[/b], you know I will wait until you get your sign up done. I wouldn't think of doing this one without you. [b]Kitty[/b], you know I like yours. Heh, I'm surprised you had any writing skills left. 20 whole pages. [b]Spence[/b], EIDT: Looks good! [b]Simplicity[/b], I absolutly LOVE your sign up. This is fabulous, babe. She looks like she could be related to Velvet, like Velvet's twin only elegent and seductive instead of simple and shy. [b]Neuvoxetere[/b], EDIT: Thanks, hun. Looks lovely. I will wait until everyone has edited and added and messed around with their things to say who is(officially) in and out. I am also waiting for Alice?s sign up, but I hope to have this up by the end of the week. Thank you all so much for signing up! For anyone who has not sign up yet, sign ups are closing on Friday, so go ahead and get your sign up in! If it is unfinished, then put it up anyway, and then finish it as soon as you can. Thanks![/color]
