Anyways, to whoever was reading this....(if anyone)....Illusion and I have decided to stop writing this online...look for the finished product when it gets published! (in a few years' time) Anyways, thx to all who read this. If anyone has any comments or suggestions, feel free to voice them, either here to through a PM to either Illuion or myself, Ecstasy. Ciao[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Nox and Julosophia sat on the leader's bed. Jul's body had taken quite a beeting from the advanced, draining magick, and needed to rest before she could address the large crowd waiting for her downstairs. "Jul," said her brother. "Are you feeling better now?" "Yes, brother," she replied. Her voice was already stronger, but her eyes showed her fatigue. "I think that I shall leave in a few minutes. You go ahead. Make sure that all is there, and that they are ready for the news that I bring." "Sister, is it really as bad as you say it is?" Nox asked, his voice slightly edged with fear. "It is as you know," she replied simply. "No go. I will be down shortly. I have a few last-minute preperations to finish." Nox looked uncertainly at his sister. Then stood up and bowed. "Yes, my Queen." Jul watched her brother exit her cambers through the great onyx doors. [i]I wish that they would all stop calling me a "Queen." I am, by no rights, a queen. I am merly the leader.[/i] She rose from her bed, and gathered her cerimonial clothing. She wanted to use this outfit because it seemed fitting. And the Guardians of Light could come at any time. As she dressed, she thought. [i]Those who were in the room. They could be of great service once all is revealed. And now, they know of the ancient magick. That could be a wonderous blessing, or a great travesty. I think that they will agree to the proposition I have for them. Nox, as always, will be by my side, but the others...well, no need worrying about it now.[/i] She placed the manifestation of her position, an large silver pendant in the shape of a crecent moon, onto a silver neclace and placed it around her neck. It rested just above her brest, bringing elegance to the humble part of her body. Then, she gathered her scrolls, placed them into her arms, and readied herself mentaly for the task at hand. [i]This will not be easy, but it is of great importance and must be done,[/i] she told herself. Glancing around the room one last time, she heaved a sigh and walked towards the doors. She paused briefly, then openend them, walked through. [i]Well, it's all in the hands of Fate, now.[/i] OOC: Well, guys. I'm not sure when I'll next be able to use a computer...it might not be for a while. Anyways, if you could carry my character, that would be great...but, if it's okay with everyone (a.k.a. Blayze), I'd like for Linkk to post Jul's speech, if I'm unable. Thx in advance to everyone![/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1]OOC: Sorry for the super-late post, everyone. I've been sick, and my computer at home is indefinitely out of order. I'll keep up to the best of my abilities. And now, the Leader's entrance. IC: Julosophia had walked to her room, her head spinning with thoughts. [i]Traitors. They have the Spear. Now, all we have to do is wait for the prophecy to come true. Heh, waiting. I hate waiting. I hope Seraph comes soon, or else -[/i] Her thoughts were interrupted by a banging on her chamber doors. "Come in," she said as she gathered herself together. [i]Apperances are always a must.[/i] She watched the dark onyx doors slowly swing open. In came a rather large group, which suprised her seeing as she had ordered all to wait for her in the Great Hall. First came in Perish and Umbradeus, followed closely by Cephus. Cephus was carrying, on his back, a figure that seemed to be dead. "What is the meaning of this?" she asked as she stood up. "Why do you come here, and not stay with the others in the Great Hall, as I have commanded?" "Sister," came her brother's voice. "It was I who told them to come." Jul glanced around her large room, trying to locate her brother, Nox. Finally, she noticed that he had just entered the room. "Nox. Good to see you." "My Queen," he said, bowing. "Now, why did you tell them to come here, brother?" she asked, all the anger from her voice seemeing to have gone. "It's Timmuns. Perish and Cephas found him just ouside the grounds, in an abandoned building. He's close to death." "I see," Jul said. She walked over to the limp body, which Cephas had laid on one of the elagant rugs. She manipulated darkness around her hands, and seemed to scan Timmuns' body. "He is close to death. You did right by bringing him here." Glancing at the group around her, she had to make one of two decisions. [i]I could ask them to leave, and perform my magick in private. Or, I could have them stay and marvel at my skills. Nox will undoubtedly stay either way, but the others. Can I trust them? Who's to say that none of them are spies for the Traitors?[/i] After a few minutes, Cephas spoke. "My queen. He will die if nothing is done soon." This comment seemed to cement her decision. "I will now perform a very secret magick that is only known by my bloodline." "Jul, are you sure?" Nox asked, his face full of doubt and scepticism. Meeting her brother's eyes, Jul replied. "Yes, Nox. I am sure. They need to know their Queen's full potential." Turning back towards Tummins, "Now, all fo you, step back. And watch." Julosophia closed her eyes. The others could feel the darkness gathering around them, and heard Jul's chanting voice. Her voice had become not her own. It was much deeper. Darkness eminated from her body, flowing around her to envelop the limp form on the ground before her. She slowly spread her arms wide, and with each inch her arms moved Tummins' body levitated above the ground. Jul opened her eyes, now completely white. All around her, except Nox, gasped at the sight. Her chants grew louder, and the darkness grew thicker. Finally, just as the darkenss started to whip wind around the onlookers, her voice cracked and sounded as a banchee. At the same time, the darkness enveloped the room. After a few tence moments, in which the onlookers were hesitant to do anything, the darkness drew back. Then it only encompassed Tummins' and Jul's bodies. Tummins was once again lying on the ground. Jul was still standing, arms spread. Nox stood still, waiting. The others took his lead. Then, just as suddenly as when the ancient magick had started, the darnkess vanished and Jul fell to the ground. Nox ran to his sister's side, while Cephas went to Tummins. "All but Nox must leave," came Jul's voice, shallow and strained. After the various "Yes'" had been voiced, she spoke again. "I will be down shortly. Wait for me in the Great Hall. All will be explained there." Cephas picked up Tummins, who appeared to be doing much better, and followed the others out of his leader's chamber. OOC: A bit of a long post, guys. Heh, I got a little carried away. Anything you want changed, lemme know. ~.^[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Blaze. You've officially caught my interest. I'm going to be signing up for the leader of the Guardians of Darkness, if that's okay with you. Also, I don't have much time, so I'll start filling out the sign-up, then finish it when I have more time on my hands... *frantically starts typing* [center]= = = = =[/center] Name: Julosophia (pronounced "ju-lo-so-FE-ah"), or simply Jul {pronounced "Jewel"}, but only allows her brother to call her that Age: Looks to be around 27 Gender: Female Race: Guardian Position: Guardians of Darkness, Leader of Appearance: [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/angelboarder.jpg[/IMG] (I know, a banner I made, but it looks like her...hehehe) Personality: Jul is the typical leader: harsh, yet fair. She has quite a temper at times, but once she's with her brother she's fine...usually. As a leader, she has quite a bit of responsibility on her shoulders, and sometimes it shows more than she'd like. She is always trying to keep up apperances,, and seems to be a bit of a *****. Yet, she's deeply devoted to her followers, and tries to keep their best interests at heart. Weapons: A "Hanwei Tsunami Katana", found on this site [url]http://www.bloomington.in.us/~country1/sam_Tsunami%20Katana.gif[/url] is her main weapon. Her other weapons include a few hidden daggers, and a small hand gun. (I'll edit this better later with more info) Powers: Can manipulate ice into any shape by changing the moister in the air into, well, ice. Her powers over the darkness are unmatched by any other, except her brother Nox. Her strength is rather low for a G.o.D. (hehe, she's a god), but her stamina allowes her to keep up to even the toughest opponents. Also, her agility is rather advanced for a G.o.D., but not nearly as good as most G.o.L. Character Snippet: I'll have to think about this one... Notes/Other: ~Leader of the Guardians of Darkness ~Sister of Nox Anyways, that's about it for now...anything you want me to change, lemme know. I'll finish this by Sunday. Ciao ~.^[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Hehe....everyone thinks that this is a "teenage, highschool" romance. I'll let everyone in on a bit of a secret. I'm almost twenty, and Jose's going to be twenty-seven. Corey, stick that in your pipe and smoke it...hehehe. Not to be rude, just 'kina voids your points, is all. Anyways, he's come around and it doesn't look like it did much damage. He doesn't mind at all anymore, but I've decided to wait to tell him that again until he says it. And, yet again, thanx for the advice. The different views have been helpful, and no, I don't rely on these [i]totally[/i], so, ya. ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][b]jigglyness[/b] I like. The only problems I see are two: First, the Fire Fox thingy...is that part of the banner? It's a little distracting fromt the rest of the image. Second, and a minor one, is that on this computer I don't see a boarder. I'm adament about having boarders on both avis and banners. Anyways, I'll give you a 7/10. ~.^ ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Syrius, how do you know that I was "carlessly trowing" those words around? Did I ever mention that? No...that being said, I now agree that I should have waited, but I didn't...I don't think that it'll change our relationship any, but only time will tell. Anyways, once again, thanks to everyone. I think this discussion is closed, but if anyone else has some comments, or if anyone that's already posted had additional things to say, go right ahead. ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Thx, Ezekiel...and no prob with being "so involved." Now, if only the other three started posting ...*glares at Stark*... but, what can ya do? Heh... blackmail... heh... j/k! Good choice with not having posting orders. This RP would have been slowed waaaay down.

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Wow...judging by your image alone, Ezekiel, I'm going to have to brush up on my skills....alot. *sigh* So, great image. It's absolutely amazing! Kudos! ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Okay, Ezekiel...one more question! When are the missions to end? I know you said around four days, but could you give us a date? A deadline would make things easier. Thx!

Alright, here ya go! [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/avi12.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/avi10.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/avi13.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/avi11.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/avi9.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/avi8.jpg[/IMG] Well, I obviously went a little avi-happy with this one...lol. Oh well, took five minutes to make these. Hope you like! ~.^ ~Ex EDIT: I forgot boarders, hehe...I added boarders, and changed the links for you!

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Hehe...sounds like fun. Thx for the clarity, Retri. XD Anyways, looking forward to do this thing with everyone. ~.^ And that program you sent me, Retri. Works like a charm. I can't thank you enough. *bows to great and honorable Retribution* ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Well...wait, don't wait. Heh, I'm impatient. So, I didn't wait. I thought about it, and thought about it, and finally told him today. Actually, I did what Lore said before I even read the post: Only say it once. If he doesn't say it back, wait until he [i]does[/i] say it. So, as I did, another complication arised. Heh, the story of my life, eh Linkk? Anyways, after I told him...talk about awkward. Holy ****, did he ever take it bad. "How do you know you love me? How [i]can[/i] you know you love me? After two weeks?" Ya, drama. Hehe...oops? Well, moving on, he said something like this: "Every time you say something like that, I feel as if you're trying to trap me." So, this part I'm confused about. Seeing as that's the first time I've said anything like that, other than "I really like you," I don't understand the "every time you say something like that" part. As for the last half, how is that trapping him? Okay, I understand the "three words," but...gee, my head's hurting now. *.* Anyways, thanks for all the advice, everyone: Drix, I understand where you're coming from now...hehe, hormonal fluctuations. *victory pose* Sandy, thx. Great to know that at least one other gay relationship is working out. Ezekiel, I agree with the "when you're with the right person, something inside you just knows." Thx, hon. celoctopus, thx for your comments and advice. Helped ~.^ ForgottenRaider, simple and too the point. Exactly what I like. Lore, great advice here. I know, as I've been in the [i]other[/i] person's shoes...almost as hard as the side I'm on now...almost. Linkk, my dear friend. Thanks for retelling that story...although I already knew about it...lol. Your advice, as always, is awesome. And yes, I do listen...sorry about the trunk thing, though. Loves! ~.^ ~Ex (never going to thank each person seperatly again...heh)[/SIZE][/COLOR]

lol...they're great, Ezekiel. Really, they are. Like you said, a [/i]little[/i] bit girly, but that's fine. It works great with the character, as you will see later on in the story. ~.^ Thanx to both of you for the great banners. The work is alot better than what I can do...heh, a-[i]lot[/i] better than what I can do. Kudos! KW, go right ahead. Don't mind if I do, either...hehehe. Ciao! ~Ex

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1]Balancing on the branches a few feet above the floor, June followed her cell-leader through the trees. She was going cautiously for two reasons. First, the heights. They've always [i]kind[/i] of given her butterflies. Second, the neumerous spiderwebs that made home in the dence growth of the trees. "Kana-sensei?" Kazuko asked cautiously, knowing his Jounin was still angry. "Why are we up in the trees?" "Because it's good training," Kaname-sensei replied. "Besides, we have a better view, giving us a better chance of seeing the herbs." "Uh, Kana-sensei?" said June, hesitant as Kazuko. "Didn't Doctor Enichi's letter say that the herb was found on a small plant, hidden under dence shrubbery and extreamly hard to find?" Junko snickered, but quickly silenced himself when the other three shot looks of daggers his way. Kazuko could be heard muttering under his breath, but Junko either decided to ignore it, or didn't hear. "Yes, that is true," replied Kaname-sensei, impressed at June's memory. "Still, my points are no less valad. Thank you for voicing your concern." June was proud of herself, and even forgot about the buggs all around her. That was a mistake. Just as she hopped a good seven feet or so from one branch to another, she got tangled up in a spiderweb in midair. "Ahhhh! Geteroffme!" Her screames quickly changed, as she fell to the forest floor. One of the larger plants, which was watching her fall, had grabbed ahold of a corner of her shirt, which happened to be the only part of her not wraped in the spiderweb netting. "Kaname-sensei! Kazuko! HELP!" June screamed as the plant dragged her closer to it. She wouldn't normally be scared of the plant, seeing as it was so small. But, as the fates would have it, because of the spiderweb wrapped closely around her she had no way to defend herself and could get seriously hurt. [i]Damn[/i], she thought. [i]Some predicament I've gotten myself into now.[/i] She glanced up to yell out for help yet again, but then saw that the spider, and all of her little babies, had come down to take their revenge on their broken home. [i]Great.[/i] She screamed long and hard, and saw Junko jump down from the trees onto the forest floor just before she stooped over, succoming to shock and terror.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

KW...I love both sets, but...haha, the dreaded "but." But, the black set has no boarder...that's my BIGGEST pet-peeve. All avis and banners MUST have boarders. Other than that, they're awesome! Kudos, and Much Thx! ~.^ KW & Ezekiel [i]both[/i] rock my socks! ^.^ ~Ex

Woooooooooow...I'm board. This story has great potential, but it seems as if only half of us, if that, are posting. Come on, guys...time to post, methinks. ~.^ Anyways, I'm not posting quite yet. I don't wanna "dominate" the RP by throwing in my character all the time...did that before, and it was the downfall of the RP. Anyways, looking forward to the rest of the story...and hope someone posts soon! Just remember, the fire needs to be put out! ~Ex

O_o...right. That's cool, KW. I'm sure that I'm going to love whatever you pull outta your *enter word here*. Also, I've decided to change up things a little....let's do this set WHITE! I know..."Oh-my-god...Ecstasy's wanting a [i]light[/i] banner/avi set? The hell?" Well, I've decided to change things up a bit...also, the text for the banner will be, the elegant tomboy, instead of, The Graceful Tomboy, so...no capital letter, and elegant instead of graceful. Thx in advance, one again. (Bows to KW for..."SO FREAKING" liking me...heh, I do what I can...*shrugs*) ~Ex EDIT: By the way, F.Y.I., there's been alot of Naruto OC requests directly because of Ezekiel, indirectly because of me ...*victory pose*... hehehe. Ezekiel's RP, Fallen Leaves, is a spin-off of Naruto, and I was talking to KKC about getting a banner/avi set to "advertise" the RP...so, there's the explanation. At least for this and the other two threads...hehehe. ~.^

[SIZE=1]Alright, guys. That's the first chapter. I was just wondering, is anyone actually reading this? If anyone is, comments/beefs/whatevers would be nice...it's a little discourageing to think that noone's even paying any attention to this...*sigh* Oh well. I'll probably start the next chapter sometime later on this week, ok Illusion? Even if it [i]is[/i] for our own entertainment. ~.^ ~Ex[/SIZE]

o_O...I forgot about this one. Hehehe. Anyways, Oblivion, is this thing still gonna happen, or is it a lost cause? If you don't think anyone else will join, I'm sure that just the three of us, if we're really dedicated, can carry this story by ourselves...or, if you want to forget this, that's okay too. Just let us know, kk? Don't wanna be left hanging. ~.^ ~Ex

Dance, my little drug-induced Illusion, dance! o_O...lol. Your welcome, my girl! Um, so what you meant by "I could always use another avi after the same fashion" is that you want another one like the one I made? If so, NO PROBLEM! Just lemme know whatcha want image-wise, and I'll have it done. ~.^ Didja want the same image used, but a different section? Or a different pic? (that's what I meant by "watcha want image-wise.") ~Ex Just as a side note, I really liked making this set for you. The avi has a great effect, as is the boarder of the banner. The colors I chose for the banner makes it seem like the black boarder is only evident on the "flash" of color, while the blue is only evident on the black background...look closely, and you'll see what I mean. An Illusion if ever I saw one! ~.^

A-MAN-NAMED-DA....lol, sorry, Illusion, I couldn't resist. Anyways, this seems like an interesting idea. I'll gladly help you out, girl. If no help is needed, then I'll just sign-up! When you start it, reserve a spot for me, kk? As for the "good vs. evil" thing, I have to agree that it's a bad idea. However, I do like the idea of each group being from a different School, as per FFVIII. What I'm picturing is a kind of Zoids thing going on, but Amanda-nized...lol, Amanda-nized. Funny word. Anyways, Illusion, you have my full support, as always, and expect me to be there when this little shindig starts! ~.^ ~Ex

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Hey everyone, I have a question. When is it too early in a relationship to tell the other that you love them? I'm in a really hardcore relationship right now, and I've been wanting to tell my boyfriend, Jose, that I love him. The only thing that's hindering me is the thought, "Is it too soon?" We've been dating for two weeks now, but we've known each other for about a year. I've had strong feelings for him pritty much since the day we met, and they've only gotten stronger since we've started to get closer. I'm 'kina hesitent to say "those three words" for a couple reasons. First, will it drive him off? Will it push him away? Second, what should I expect when I say it? Will he say it back? If he doesn't, will it make things extreamly wierd between us? Third is the title of this thread: Is it too early? Any advice you guys have will be really helpful, but first, a few things you should understand about me. First off, I'm not one to say anything about the person I'm dating in the lines of "like" or "love." The farthest I've gone to say anything is "Wow, he's friggin' hot!" Other than that, I'm very hesitant to say "those three words," or anything even remotely similar to them, just for the simple fact that I don't belive in saying them unless you truly feel it. I believe that love isn't a word to be thrown around, and that love is more than a word. Love is forged by two people through time, and I know that. I don't want everyone to think that I'm some nieve kid who is way in deep over their head. I do know that I am rushing things a little, and I may be taking the nieve, immature way with going about this...but I can't help what I feel, right? Anyways, now that I've poured my heart out on the internet, I think that I'll save what little privacy I have in this matter to myself and let you guys go about commenting and giving advice. ~Ex Just to let you know, I'm open to anything: from helpful advice, to tough-love critisicing. Talk about his openly. I'll take everything you throw at me. ~.^[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Alrighty, Amanda...I took a shot at this, as well. Hope you like! Banner [URL="http://photobucket.com"][IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/illusionbanner.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Avi [URL="http://photobucket.com"][IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/illusionavi.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Hope you like! Anything you don't, lemme know and I'll try to change them. ~.^ ~Ex

*sigh* I guess that since two others already have done it, I'll post mine down now. *shakes fist at KKC for stealing [b]MY[/b] idea* Anyways, here's my request: [URL=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b256/Drummingfoo/choice1.jpg][u]*This*[/u][/URL] picture for my avi and banner. I know, it's not colored, but I like the black and white. So, I would like the set to be dark, as per all mine seem to be, and maybe the picture of June with the colors inverted or something like that. As for text, I'd like to have her name, Akano June, in the avi. In the banner I'd like, The Graceful Tomboy. Anyways, that's about it. I'll leave the major details to the great artists here...I'd make it, but I can't do what I want with just paint...*sigh* Thx in advance to everyone that tries this out! ~.^ ~Ex
