[quote name='White][COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma] Personally I like Zeke's better. It seems to match our colour scheme a bit better (there's more red and it's less bloomy).[/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote] [SIZE=1] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Tahoma]Psht. You're telling me? I already knew that. :P Jamie pwns me all the time that my butt hurts too much from all her pwning. And yes, sexual innuendo was intended, thank you very much. Well, bloomy suits my personality, so nyar har. XD Anyway, so, yeah. I'll also be away this weekend as well. Going to London the whole day on Saturday, so just wanted to give you all a heads up. Also, next weekend, I'll be gone for getting ready and actually going to Prom. So... I hope I'll have fun then. In the meantime, you all are invited to my Graduation Partay on June 9th. :D[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]I really adore the Firebrick Red... it's so sexy, like me. :P And as for the name, I rather approve of The Aces rather than The Smoking Aces. It just sounds rather corny to me than anything else. Anyway, as Jamie, I will also start a group design for our flag and you guys can pick whichever ones you want (though, Jamie'll win, LOL.). So, yup. :D[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Ahahaha.... yeah. *Ahem* I wonder how I still managed to stay alive after all this time I've been gone due to school... Oh well. Sweetness anyway. Well, I won't be able to post much now, off to school, but red sounds really good... how about crimson red? As for the Smoking Aces, sounds awesome, but also like an old pilot division in a war or something, but I digress. Anyway, you all can read more about me in The Titans thread. I can help with graphics and whatnot. But, I also want you all to know that my time is limited for the moment being, what with graduating and Prom. But I'll do all I can. I hope my losing streak doesn't continue any further. :P (No hard feelings, Team Argo. I loved you gais.) kthnxbai.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Aaaah~ I've been waiting for you to open an art thread in due time, Delta, and here you go. You always make my day and bring the art studio back to life. I'll claim [B]20. Tranquility[/B], please. It'll give me an excuse to use my Tablet and draw again. I missed the art studio for a long time now. :D[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Yes, it has been awhile, sakurasuka. You all have such wonderful names. =] Anyway, since my name comes from the Filipino and Hawaiian language, most people in the US and here in the UK have a ultimately hard time pronouncing my whole name... and it's not even that difficult, really. My first name is Tiana, which is the Filipino part. You can imagine how many [I]other[/I] different names people come up for me. [B]Yo. What's your name? Tiana. Oh, okay. Hey, Ta-Tiana. Umm, no. There's no Ta before Tiana... just... Tiana. What? Taina, then? No. The I is before the A. Ti. A. Na. Uh... Tania? No! Tiana! TEE- AH- NA!! T-I-A-N-A!! TIANA!!![/B] You can imagine how annoying it is to have your English teacher pronounce your name wrong everyday, even with me AND my English class reminding her. She still hasn't gotten it yet. -_- My middle name is the hardest for anyone to pronounce because it's Hawaiian. My middle name is Kawailehua, which means, "The radiant flower in the rain" or something like that. The W is pronounced like a V in the Hawaiian language, so it's more like Kavai. When I was young, I learned how to spell my name by thinking of Kawaii, so... yup. A normal conversation with my friends about my middle name. [B]Hey, Tiana. What's your middle name again? Ahahaha, it's K- Wait! I remember it, just let me try to say it. Lol, okay. It's Ka...Kalehua. Nope. Keleiha? Nah. Kawelhu? Not even close. Fine then! What the crap is it?! Kawailehua. K-a-w-a-i-l-e-h-u-a. The W is pronounced like a V, remember? I knew that.[/B] Then, my first last name is Talbert, which is my mom's side of the family's name. It's special to me, so my parents let me keep it. No one usually gets it wrong, unless they say Tallbert or something really unique. And finally, my last last name (lol) is Lovett, which is my step dad's side of the family. He adopted me and my sister, so we got his last name. I really love it because, well... it's Lovett! A lot of people like to make fun of me and saying that I Loveit! or something. Well... my whole name is: Tiana Kawailehua Talbert Lovett. I love it because it's so unique and has different languages in each name. That name's going on my High School Diploma when I graduate soon... I can imagine it taking up all the free space and our announcer pronouncing it wrong, lol.[/FONT] [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Well, since it's almost that time of year, I just wanted to ask what my fellow OBers have to say on this certain time of night during your High School years. Yes, that's right... Prom. Since this will be my first and last prom, I just wanted to see what to expect from it and also want to hear what kind of stories you guys have from when you went to your High School Prom. You can be in High School now or already graduated, but let us hear what kind of night you had on that special date. What your dream dress/tux looked like, any stupid/embarrassing things that happened, how it went, who you went with, how you got there and anything else you want to tell us. As for me, well... I already bought my dress and can't wait for it to get here. It's so pretty and I can't wait until it gets here. (Also, if you need a prom dress, that site is really good and has a lot of choices to choose from. ;] ) [CENTER] [URL=http://www.cbslimited.com/prom-dresses/detail_prom_cire-P705]My Prom Dress[/URL][/CENTER] As for a date, one of my friends (which is totally cute, btw) asked me to go with him and I was ecstatic. Why would anyone want to go with an ugly duckling like me? Oh well, I was happy anyway. :] Anyway, have any stories or pictures to share with us, let's hear it! I want to see what to expect on a special night like this. :D[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1][B]?Graaah? what the crap does y=2x divided by 4e plus 7 equal?!?[/B] Aizen scratched her head annoyingly with her mechanical pencil, irritated by a certain problem that she couldn?t solve on her Algebra II homework. Her cat ears slightly twitched as the breeze picked up a little, causing her to quickly grasp her papers. It was already 7: 50 AM and school would start in about ten minutes, Aizen already rushing through all her homework she hadn?t finished yet because of her frequent cat- naps and ultimate laziness. Cheshire High was unique for it?s strict policies and special students, but that still didn?t change the fact that she wasn?t ready for another unique day at school. [B]?Agh, damn,?[/B] she sighed as she looked at her watch, then looking up at the slightly cloudy sky, [B]?maybe if I listen to my music, I can think straighter.?[/B] Lifting her right hand and digging through her school bag, she then grabbed her iPod?s ear phones and placed them in her ears. After turning it on, she picked her favorite song and pressed Play with her thumb, looking at her paper and thinking harder about how to solve the math problem. [b][I]Gosen mairu hashitte iki wo kirashite Adorenairin hyaku litoru go tai subete furu kadou Koko made kureba ii darou? dokomade ga ok?

Till where is it ok? The trees that paint the streets, appear to be repeating in a cycle The whiteness that has changed, the weakness that cannot change I want to believe in myself that is here. Waving my left and right hands over my head, I cut through the darkness GO! There?s no lie, I have decided to be ready! Right from the start the world is expanding![/I][/b] [b]?Yo, Aizen.?[/b] Aizen slowly opened her brown eyes to reveal a young man with long dark blue hair tied into a ponytail, bright glowing gold eyes and the school?s uniform open to show his white shirt under it. He seemed quite popular around school, what for his good looks and good grades? but something about him attracted her. Not in a crush way, but as if he knew everything about her. [b]?Hey, Shy,?[/b] she replied as she took her earphones out of her cat ears, then standing up and brushing loose grass off of her uniforms skirt. [b]?What are you doing here? Classes start in about five minutes.? ?Yeah, I know,?[/b] he smirked as he slightly lifted his right index finger, causing her books and papers to levitate in the air towards her body. [b]?I just noticed you sitting her by yourself looking angry as usual, so I decided to see what was up.?[/b] Slightly grabbing her floating school supplies, she grimaced a bit and started walking towards the school building, Shy right behind her. [b]?Well, I?m kind of stuck on this one math problem,?[/b] she replied, still walking with stopping, [b]?I don?t understand why I don?t get it? maybe it?s because math just sucks in general?? ?It isn?t all that hard. I mean, all you have to do is multiply both sides by the demoninator and solve it from there.? ?Uh? excuse me? How did you know what I was learning about in Algebra II class?? ?Read your mind, as usual,?[/b] he smirked, giving her a thumbs-up. [b]?Agh, dammit, stop doing that! You creep me out when you know all the answers to my questions like that!?[/b] Aizen annoyingly stuck out her tongue at Shy and lightly punched his right arm, making him playfully flinch as if she was actually hurting him. After laughing for a bit, Shy raised his left arm and pushed his sleeve backward. [b]?Ah, only a minute left until the tardy bell rings,?[/b] he said, quickly hurrying towards the school, [b]?we can?t be late again? you remember what the principal said last time.? ?He can suck eggs for all I care,?[/b] Aizen replied annoyingly, then taking her sweet time looking at the clouds as she licked her hand in a cat- like manner. [b]?If you don?t want to be late, just say the word and I can freeze time so that we can have a little fun.? ?That?s what you did last time! When your power is over for however long you set your time limit, everything fast- forwards until the time is equally set? causing us trouble again!!? ?Come on, live a little!?[/b] Aizen replied, swinging her arm around his shoulder and grinning a big smile. [b]?It?s not that bad and besides, it?s fun making people do stupid things!?[/b] Shy sighed, knowing that he was losing this battle. [b]?What made me hang out with someone as bad as you?? ??Cause I?m a cool cat, that?s wh-?[/b] Aizen gently bumped into someone without realizing it, what with her big mouth open. [b]?Hey, I?m sorry, I didn?t mean to do that,?[/b] she replied, slightly bowing. [B]?Hey look, the two dorks!?[/B] [CENTER]~*~ OOC: Meh, I just wanted to make sure just in case. =P Anyway, I changed my character's name to Aizen Nightwillow, her powers are cat- like fighting/manners and being able to stop time. She's a real gutsy gal, not allowing anyone to get in her way and standing up for the weak. Oh, and the song she's listening to is called Shissou, the ending theme to Ouran Host Club... my favorite! :D Shy, if you want me to change anything on your character, just say so in our thread, 'kay? :] Oh, and the person can be anyone they want and can make that quote in a friendly or bully manner. [/CENTER][/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Oh, this one sounds very interesting, Sandy... I loves it. Anyway, I just wanted to ask: can we/do we change our characters and personalities? I just wanted to make sure before I posted anything. Yay!! Sandy, I love this RP so far.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma][CENTER]OOC: Oh yeah, before I forget, here are me and Shy's appearances her in this RP or unless Shy wants to change his character later. [URL=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Artwork/Warrior.jpg]Tiana[/URL] and [URL=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Artwork/Rei02.jpg]Shy.[/URL] I have more of a tanned skin and brown hair, if you get what I mean. ;] ~*~ [/CENTER] [B]?Getttttt ooouuuuttttt??[/B] The best grumbled under it?s breath as it lunged its sharp black claws towards Tiana?s chest, causing her to dodge the blow at the very last second. As she rolled over to the side in the clinging mud, the silver earrings on her cat ears jingled, causing the monster to quickly find the route she had gone to and lunging at her side once again. [b]?Dammit!?[/b] she gasped loudly as she brought her Keyblade up to her face to dodge the blow, her strength blocking the monster?s claws while her arm was shaking with force. She looked behind it and spotted Shy throwing his darts at it?s back, but failing miserably and only bouncing off in other directions. [b]?Shy! Don?t you damn well know that those things don?t work on this beast already?!?[/b] [b]?Hey, I?m doing the best I can! What else do you want me to do?!?[/b] Shy yelled back, anger and stress ridden on his voice. [b]?I can?t do any magic and I don?t have anything else to throw at it unless you want me to throw some rocks at it or something!?[/b] Tiana quickly thought for a brief moment, then looked at her glowing Keyblade. Her eyes then widened in a drastic manner, as if a light-bulb had just turned on in her mind. [b]?Aha! That?s it! Quickly, Shy!?[/b] she yelled and pointed her free hand at a boulder, [b]?throw that boulder at it and hurry!?[/b] Shy gave a confused look, as if saying, ?Wha? Are you for real?? [b]?Don?t give me that look and throw the damn rock at this thing already!? ?Okay, okay!?[/b] Shy yelled annoyingly as he headed for the boulder on the ground, [b]?just don?t blame me if your stupid idea doesn?t work.?[/b] With a grunt escaping from his lips and a heave from his strong arms, he lifted it up off the ground and slowly but strongly threw the stone at the back of the beast?s head, only to bounce off of it and causing the monster to turn around towards Shy with a nasty growl from his drooling mouth. [b]?Umm? uh,?[/b] Shy stuttered, pointing all fingers towards Tiana. [b]?It wasn?t my idea, it was all hers. I think you?re the best, Mr. Beasty Weasty, yes you are??[/b] Before the beast could open its mouth for a Shy treat, Tiana quickly pointed her glowing Keyblade before the beast and yelled, [b]?Blizzaga!?[/b] Streaming from the tip of the Key, snowflakes and cold winds stormed before the monster and wrapped around him with its chilly atmosphere. With its final roar of plea, the beast quickly froze into a thick block of ice, chilling it from the bone to the outside. Staring at it for awhile, Shy slowly walked up to it and started poking it with a stick, getting a final touch of seeing that it truly was frozen solid. [b]?Are you sure this thing won?t break out any sec-? ?ROARRR!!!? ?KYYAAHHHAGH!?[/b] Shy yelled at the top of his lungs as he fell backwards, quickly skittering behind a nearby tree- trunk and hiding as his whole body shivered in fear. [b]?Kya ha ha ha ha! I can?t believe you fell for that one, Shy!?[/b] Tiana spoke through her hearty laughter, slowly walking towards him from behind the frozen monster, her Keyblade slung over her shoulder. She stared at him for awhile with a big grin on her face, a sign telling him that it was only a joke out of her weird good- nature. Making an angry yet embarrassed face at her, he slowly stood up and quickly walked over to her. [b]?You know, you really suck at knowing what?s a good time to pull a fast one like that,?[/b] he growled as he lightly punched at her shoulder, [b]?you don?t know what else could be lurking in this creepy forest!? ?Oh please, don?t tell me that you peed your pants,?[/b] Tiana teased, her tongue pointed in his direction. [b]?Whatever! I am n- oh crap.? ?What is it?? ?Well, you know how I said that anything else could be lurking in this creepy forest?? ?Yeah, so? Don?t tell me you?re trying to scare me, because you know damn well that?s never going to work.? ?Umm??[/b] Shy muttered under his breath and pointed in the west direction where the castle was. Tiana quickly turned around and looked up into the air where he was pointing, her eyes turning into an annoyed yet ready look. Stone gargoyles where flying in the air towards them? flying in fast and looking vicious as hell. [b]?Damn,?[/b] Tiana gritted under her teeth as she tightened her grip on her weapon, [b]?Obsidian Gargoyles? and they?re coming in fast.?[/b] After thinking for a moment, she tightened the fabric that was around her waist and started running in the direction the gargoyles were coming from, already knowing that Morgwyn was getting ready for them and others who were trying to take back the Phoenix Heart. [b]?Wait, Tiana!?[/b] Shy yelled as he quickly followed her, not know what recklessness she was thinking about this time. [b]?Stoned gargoyles aren?t easily defeated from any normal attacks, duh! You can?t just barge into them and think that just by swinging your Keyblade that you?ll defeat them!? ?I know that, I?m not stupid!?[/b] she yelled as she kept running, the demons already close at hand. [b]?Don?t do anything, just stay right behind me and dodge when I tell you to, alright?!? ?What?! Are you crazy?! I can hel-? ?Shy! Just do the hell what I ask you, dammit!?[/b] Without another word, Shy clamped his mouth shut and nodded, still angry that he was told to sit and stay like a dog, but past experiences let him know that she was worthy to be depended on. As they ran onward towards the castle, the gargoyles suddenly flew low enough to get to the adventurers level, their stone mouths open and demon- like shrieks could be heard throughout the entire forest. Four were in Tiana?s eye- level, already prepared to attack her on sight. When they were in her reach, she grinned and sweated a bit, then pointed her glowing Keyblade at them and yelled, [b]?Stopga!?[/b] at the demons. As her spell predicted, the stone gargoyles ceased to move anymore and stayed in their same position, but now falling in her direction. With one swing of her Keyblade, she had chopped them all in half and their pieces flying all over the forest, crashing into things. Shy?s eyes were wide open and his mouth agape at the amazing strength that she had in one blow. [b]?What the? I didn?t know you could do that!?[/b] Tiana looked behind her and gave him big thumbs- up, winking. [b]?A good magician never reveals her secrets until the very last second!? ?That?s stupid! And besides!?[/b] Shy yelled as they continued onward, looking at the horde of gargoyles and how far they actually were from Morgwyn?s castle, [b]?there are too many of them? you don?t have enough strength in you to do all that and more before we get to the castle!? ?Have faith, my friend,?[/b] she replied, still looking onward and getting ready to beat down some more gargoyles, [b]?believe me, I will get us safely there. And I also have you to come up with another plan, right?? ?You?re stupid as always,?[/b] he grunted as he looked to the side, a laugh escaping from his lips. [B]?Isn?t the courageous hero always that way??[/B] Tiana laughed as she jumped upward to fight the next enemies. They continued onward with her plan of fighting the gargoyles and headed towards the castle. More were probably coming, and Tiana would continue on with her plan of action unless she or Shy came up with another good plan.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Tahoma]Like some, I rarely get sick ever, but when I do... it's the worst. It's like, a whole life of sickness bottled up into one, if you get what I mean. Anyway, I haven't thrown up much, so this story doesn't mainly involve my puke, but... my dog's. Yes, my dog. Well, it all started out one day where me and my dog, Pono (Hawaiian name, go figure. :P), were sitting on the couch one day, just lounging around and watching T.V. Right into a show we were watching, he sat up on my lap and started looking around drastically. Needless to say, I was being stupid and lazy, telling him to sit down and what not. Next thing you know, he starts doing those convulsions with his head and making weird gaging sounds. I don't know, I was stupid because I didn't do squat, just asking what was the matter. Then, out came the doggie puke... all over my clothes and some on my bare stomach. I thought it was so gross and I was so angry, but I felt sorry for the poor guy and it wasn't really his fault. So, I took him outside so he could get some fresh air while I quickly changed my clothes, washed the nastiness off and hung it outside to dry and took a shower. It's all a good life- long lesson for me anyway, though. Every time I see him do a convulsion of some sort or making some weird gagging noise, I quickly run over to him, pick him up and hold him far away from my body and throw him outside so he can do his thing... well, not really throw outside, but you get what I mean. ;D As for people puking, it's just stupid to make fun of them or be all like, "Ew! That is so gross!", because that doesn't help at all, it just makes the person feel much, much worse. Let's grow up, 'kay? :][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Yah- ha! Alright, Mr. Wright is first up to bat to endure my lame *** captions! Whoope! =] Numero Uno: "[B]Objection, Your Hon- what?!

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]And so, the awesome RP of the century now begins... it is our duty to keep posting and kick all the other members down. =] Anyway, I have just posted, Shy, so whenever you feel like it (hopefully very soon), just post whatever you feel that goes along with it. If you want me to change anything, just tell me here and I will do it. As for characters, I resided myself around [URL=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Artwork/Warrior.jpg]this[/URL] sort of appearance, except my hair is dark brown and I use a Keyblade as a weapon, dur hur. =P As for you, my dear, I resided yours as [URL=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Artwork/Rei02.jpg]this[/URL] appearance. Hope that's okay, and if you want me to change the picture or anything, just tell me and I'll do it right away. Not that you'd want to 'cause you'd be the hottest person in this RP, but moving on... As for weapons and spells, I don't have any spells and my only weapon is the Keyblade. If you have anything important as of weapons and stuff, just post it here. As for moves, I'll be posting that later in the game. Get a move on it, love, as how posting is probably limited and we don't know when Sandy is going to change the genre. He's probably off lurking somewhere and changing it already. *shifts eyes all around* EDIT- PS: Don't forget that we will have different themes, so you might want to put a little thought and pizzaz to your character or something.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma][B]?And so, off starts another boring day here in our lonely camp grounds??[/B] [B]?Your momma is another boring day.? ?What was that about my momma?? ?Oh, nothing at all, Shy,?[/B] Tiana replied, licking her index finger and gently flipping towards the next page in her book. Her and Shy were leaning on a nearby tree near the Aria Kingdom, taking in another loss and losing one more member of their adventurous team. Ever since their Dark Knight Allamorph left on his own, their confidence seemed to be wearing thin every minute. Now all that was left was the two Argos: Shy the Modjestic and Tiana the Keyblade Wielder. Shy sighed once again as he quickly stood up and walked towards the edge of the hill, looking upon the vast Kingdom. [B]?Tiana, I seem to think as if we have no chance to win anything now that there?s only the two of us,?[/B] Shy sighed as he slowly turned around, his dark blue cape spinning along with him, [B]?everyone else has more members than we do, and now?? ?Gah, quit your whining, Shy!?[/B] Tiana yelled annoyingly as she slammed her book and placed it on the green grass. [B]?Look here, just because we?re the only one?s left doesn?t mean we?re automatically going to lose! Besides,?[/B] she walked over next to him and placed her hands on her hips, [B]?when we conquer the next challenge, we?ll definitely be a force to be reckoned with.? ?Oh, really??[/B] Shy grinned as he crossed his arms, his sleeves crunching up at the corners. [B]?Of course,?[/B] she nodded, her short black cape swaying in the wind as her long brown hair got in her face. [B]?Pbbth! This cursed hair always gets in the way of my dramatic speeches! I swear, I?m going to cut it all off one day?? ?And finally reveal that you actually are a boy?!?[/B] Tiana glanced her brown eyes to the side, glaring at a laughing Shy. [B]?What was that, hmm? I hope you know that I AM the Wielder of the Keyblade and can shove this thing up ANY hole??[/B] She slowly reached her hand towards her back and tightly gripped the handle of her Keyblade. [B]?Uh, um,?[/B] Shy sweated as he waved his arms in negotiation, then glanced his eyes toward the Kingdom. [B]?Hey? you hear that?? ?Hear what??[/B] Tiana annoyingly answered as she slowly let go of her grip on Shy?s cloak. She stepped closer to the edge to get a better view and a better point of hearing. Everyone was crowding in the town?s square, circling around someone whom was shouting something that seemed of extreme importance. [B]?Here ye, everyone! I, the Kingdom?s Official Reporter, have just gotten news of the robbing of King Sandy?s most prized treasure, the Phoenix Heart, by the evil Sorceress Morgwyn!?[/B] The whole crowed gasped in horror and started talking amongst themselves, everyone starting to become worried and irritated every second. [B]?The what now??[/B] Shy questioned in confusement. [B]?The Phoenix Heart,?[/B] Tiana replied sternly, her eyes narrowing in anger. [B]?It has been the great treasure of the Aria Kingdom for millions and millions of years, only recently being passed on to King Sandy.?[/B] She thought for a second, then turned around to face Shy in annoyance. [B]?Wait a second, we both reside in this kingdom? so, why do you know didly squat about of how much importance this is??[/B] Shy merely shrugged and shook his head in innocence. [B]?Just because I live here, doesn?t mean I know every single thing about it.? ?But tha- ugh,?[/B] Tiana sighed, placing her right hand on her head for assurance. [B]?Nevermind. Just realize that this news is of utter importance, got that?? ?Yes, Leader!?[/B] Shy nodded in a mocking tone. After another sigh, Tiana crossed her gloved hands over her chest and raised her right one to her chin, her leather fingers rubbing her chin. [B] ?Either way? why would Morgwyn steal something of such great importance? Surely she realizes what trouble will fall upon here for something big such as this??[/B] Her thoughts were interrupted by a slight tapping on her shoulder, her head then turning towards her partner. [B]?Sorceress Morgwyn stole it in order to restore her youth, learning that the jewel has sorts of magical healing powers.?[/B] Tiana?s faced scrunched up into a weirded expression, her mouth about to fall onto the ground. [B]?Wha? whe? wher? ho? How the hell did you not know about the jewel a second ago, but now you know so damn much about it?!?[/B] she replied in anger, her voice angry and annoyed. [B]?Well,?[/B] Shy replied as he put his index finger on his chin and looked away in a thinking notion, [B]?that?s what the Kingdom?s Reporter just said; I was just paying attention.?[/B] Tiana sighed and looked the other way, already feeling tired just by talking to this guy, wondering how in the world did they meet. [B]?So,?[/B] she replied, her eyes glancing towards his for a straight answer, [B]?tell me, did you hear anything else of utter importance that I should know about?? ?I?m glad you asked,?[/B] Shy smiled and nodded, [B]?Morgwyn resides at her castle to this day and the Kingdom is asking for courageous heros to retrieve the precious stone. Anyone who brings it back will be hi-? ?Forget about the reward.? ?What??[/B] Shy questioned in astonishment, his eyes slightly widened, [B]?but you don?t even know what it is!?[/B] Tiana wrapped her arm around his shoulders and smiled a heroic smile, her face telling him that she was ready to protect her Kingdom no matter what. [B]?Who cares? Only those money- loving creeps will die in the end? we?re real heros and we?ll do whatever seems right.?[/B] And with that, Tiana ran down the mountain as she grabbed her supplies, her sense of justice in order and her goal placed: to regain order in the Kingdom and retrieve the precious Phoenix Heart jewel. With Shy right behind her, they both set off on their journey, ready to cut through anyone that stood in there way. [B]?Wait? does that mean I?m a money- loving creep, Leader??[/B] [CENTER]~+~[/CENTER] OOC: This is on friendly terms, Shy, don't worry. ;] Come on, let's get to it, Team Argo!![/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]*Ahem* Well... I have banners and different avatars for both if you would like them. I know you didn't use my avi's, but... just thought I'd put some to good use. Anyway, I'll show you some samples and see if you would like to use them. The avatar's don't have your name on them yet, I'm just seeing if you would like to use them.

If you point out whichever one you want, I'll gladly edit it for you. Both roxorzs.

[quote name='Sandy']Tiana, a week always ends to a Sunday. Don't they teach anything at school anymore? *rolls eyes melodramatically*[/quote] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Oh geez, Sandy, I totally forgot about that when I learned it in 1st grade. And as for the rolling of the eyes, that is definitely a sign that you love me. Yes, I know you do. ;] As for the music link, Shy... I love you and you make me have orgasms with all the things you do around here. Really, you do, seriously. XD Anyway, I think the MIDI version will work better than the video because it would probably just distract people. Okay, then, since no one has any complaints, I'll start working on our song and graphics, having it in by Sunday. Great work, guys, really, I actually have a feeling that we might win... but, since when will we not? :P Any problems, just talk to me about it, 'kay?[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Hmm, I was wondering... I know Sandy specifically said in the OB Survivor 4 thread that these were due at the end of the week, but... what is the end of the week, technically? Today? Sunday? I'm just freaking out a little because I don't know when it is and I have work today and won't be back on until later... do any of you guys know? As for the link, Shy, do you have anything? I'm starting to put the lyrics on the graphics, but, that won't help unless we have some sort of music link... Let's go, Team Argo! Time is precious and we don't want to lose just because we weren't on time!![/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Sweet... this sounds like a whole lot of fun. Count me in, Stephen, you already knew I would. ;] As for taking screen shots at your local bookstore, that's going to be fairly hard, as how where I live in England, the nearest place that has manga is an hour away. But whatever, I shall do it for justice!! Or my nerdy otaku way, anyway. My knowledge goes a long way in anime and manga, so... this'll be fun.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Sandy']In my opinion, that's just one of the cheesy movie-phrases that are best to be avoided. I don't think there's any need to beat around the bushes like that. Doesn't "I just want to be friends, that's all" sound a whole lot of better and honest?[/quote] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Yes, Sandy, that is the most honest answer... but sometimes, it doesn't work the first time. >>; Anyway, basically, there really isn't a way that I know of that you can't hurt that girl's feelings even a little, but that's natural. You can't really help it, if the person likes you, it's only natural for them to be hurt by you telling them you don't like them. People have this hope of the other person to tell them they like them to, which is why she told you. But anyway, I digress... I'm just stating how I feel when I tell someone that I like them. Well, as Sandy said, the honest way to go is just saying that you'd just want to still be good friends and don't want to lose her friendship. All I'm saying is that no matter how awkward it is around her, don't ignore her. I mean, just because something deep happened between you guys is no reason to where you can't talk to her anymore. That means you're just as bad as any jerk out there. This should make your friendship stronger, much less you guys will be really close to each other after this. Another thing is that if she really was a "good friend", then she will understand and also still be friends with you. If she was only your friend because of the fact that she liked you, then that's not good either. Some girls aren't all that clingy and don't easily get angry if they're turned down, we move on and hope for the best in both of us. That's how I feel, anyway, and what I've done before. However, if she gets all jealous because you talk to other girls and you're going out with someone else, if she then tries to break you guys apart and tries to keep you for herself, then she is definitely not someone you should be friends with. Just saying for future refrence. I'm sure she'll just accept it and still be your friend, helping you out in whatever way she can.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]It isn't all that hard to actually talk to a guy and probably get him to like you. As it's been stated before, just be yourself, no matter how crazy or nerdy you are because most guys (the ones who aren't after mostly looks) like girls who actually show their real selves and not pretending to be someone else. The only real problem sometimes is that some guys tend to be slow or shy at explaining their feelings if they like you or not... trust me, I know. Also, IM is really great, because it's easier to talk to that one person so you can't see his face. XD It does really work, after all, with the guy I liked, I talked to him for over three hours about how I feel and he listened... then said that he liked me to and whatnot. I was so happy... it was a "Just shoot me now and I'll die happy" moment. Although, he might be a little crazy because I'm not all that good looking AT ALL. Period.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=1]Yes, I apologize for not interacting with you guys and how the graphics are going. I'm just so lazy to post anything and I can't really come up with anything great for lyrics as of now. :/ As for Shy's PM, that's really good and we should really use his version unless you also came up with something, Allamorph. As for graphics, it's almost ready, just needs a few finishing touches and it'll be complete. Come on, let's go, Team A- R- G- O! *congas behind the Village People* EDIT: Anyway, wah- lah! I finished my graphic, so I hope it's all good. I went for a 70s Disco theme like you insisted, Shy, and I made the disco floor flash, so I think that's a plus, too. I was going to make the words do stuff, too, but I thought that would be a little too much... but, if you would like that, just tell me here and I can fix it! Also, keep in mind that I do realize that it is pretty big... I can change it, if you both like. [CENTER] Anyway... HUUURRRRR IT IS! [IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Artwork/User.gif[/IMG][/CENTER] Hope it's to both of your liking. Oh! I also have another version that is non- moving and has the basic layout if you would like to compare between the two. [CENTER][URL=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Artwork/DISCO.png]ENTRAR TEH DISCO THEME HUURRR![/URL] [/CENTER] I'd have to say, though... as for my two cents, the flashing one is a bit more interesting than the latter, but I have to admit, the plain one looks a bit more pro than the flashing. It's not a grainy and it's a little more better and easier on the eyes. I couldn't save the flashing as anything else but a .GIF, so... I hope that's alright. Anyway, you guys give me your opinions on which one you'd rather have. And please tell me soon! Just because this has to be done by the end of the week and I don't know how busy I'll be what with work and all... so, vote now! When you guys tell me, I'll edit everything and put the lyrics in there, so that you don't have to worry. As for the link, has anyone found any MIDI or song clip of YMCA? I'll have a hard time looking for that one, so I'm depending on you guys to work around that, kay? I love you both and our team so much, so let's band together and kick everyones butt, yeah? Don't forget to tell me: which one you like, make it smaller, more flashy, less flashy, what to add... anything that will increase our chances of winning, alright? LET'S GO, TEAM ARGO![/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]That's because we're so top secret that we keep it even from you, Sandy. :P Anyway, as for the rundown of what's going on in Team Argo, everything is going rather smoothly yet probably hectic as well. [B]Shy[/B] has been doing an amazing job with our lyrics, seeing as how his is probably the most greatest I've ever seen. As for [B]Allamorph[/B], he's also helping out with the lyrics and keeping us together, thus being our cheerleader and officer at the same time. XD And for [B]KWs[/B] status, she's so f***ing lazy that she should automatically be kicked off the team because she's too d*** lazy for her own good.... just kidding. (Though, The Titans might say otherwise... hahahaha @ you guys. >>) Anyway, I'm doing the awesome graphics and working at it, so, I'm pretty busy as well. Overall, things are going great and probability of the song completion by the end of the week is 100%. Good luck to you guys at trying to win this from us. ;][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Wow... summer is coming by so quickly. It's hard to believe that I'll be graduating from high school in a few months and applying to colleges quickly enough. Anyway, as for what I'm doing, I'll be working at my job throughout the whole summer, bagging other's groceries and getting tips every time. Needless to say, though tips alone, it's not half- bad... I get about $40 each day I work for the three hours. I'll probably go traveling with my folks since we have a good opportunity to travel since we're here in England. Italy, Amsterdam, Germany, Paris, Bahamas... sometimes, it's good to stay with your folks for awhile until you feel okay leaving on your own. Partying all night long, birches. ;P No, seriously, after finally finishing high school and all that hard work, I'm going to party and hang out with friends a little more... and maybe even warm up to someone special. Reading big books, playing video games all day, watching anime, reading manga, drawing, chatting online... I'll also be doing that as well over the summer. Because, well... once you're on Otaku, there's no going back. ;][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
