TheResplendent

[FONT=tahoma]Alright, I just fininshed watching episode 29. It's really quite early in the morning over here and it's possible that i'm not thinking too clearly (I'm just too anxious about watching the last bunch of episodes though to put it off). There is something i just need a little clarification on, though I'm almost sure I understand what happened. [spoiler]The note Light returned to Shidoh was the original notebook that Ryuk wrote the fake rules in, the one his father was going to use to kill Mello. Light relinquished ownership of it to Ryuk once again BEFORE it was exchanged to Mello's group. But having Misa's note, the one that was buried caused him not to lose his memories. It seemed very convincing that Light wanted the note back by any means however when he considered killing his sister. The plan for having his father make the deal with Ryuk was a result of the exchange with Mello and the failure of the preservation of that particular note in the first place. So his relinquishing of ownership seemed unnecessary despite turning out to be useful in the end. The assurance that he no longer had ownership allowed him to support his father making the deal with Ryuk and would use him to kill Mello while he himself would appear innocent if his father ever looked at him. So everything considered, he expected his father to die lest he would never be able to regain ownership of a note as long as his father lived with the eyes, and now there is only one shinigami Ryuk to match with one note, which is the one Misa currently owns.[/spoiler] Is that accurate? There is a question in there somewhere in the form of a statement, my apologies for it being a bit of a mess but as I said...i'm working on morning time and i'm not a morning person :animeswea. For a few moments I was confused at the appearence of [spoiler]Shidoh[/spoiler] and claiming the note in the [spoiler]Mafia's[/spoiler] control.[/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]Lol, White that's as good as we can expect from a canadian white boy ;). Hehe, j/k. I say whenever you're ready to put it up go ahead, unless you want feedback from everyone. In which case I implore everyone to give their opinions and let MC Whiteboy know if he wrote up a winner or not.[/FONT]

[QUOTE=Rachmaninoff] *dies* At least indifference's turned out to be a joke, but for a moment there she had me going. >_< [/QUOTE] [font=tahoma]How do you think I felt when I read it :animestun. You had me going there for a little bit, Indifference i'll admit it. *mumble* you big meany head... Anyway, I know myself and SunfallE stayed up super late and that's why our posts were up when they were, i think everyone else was just up early (or in Sandy's case, just up). [/font]

[QUOTE=SunfallE][COLOR=goldenrod]Don't make me sick indifference on you! *if she'll even let me that is* You can't hide from her! :p I guess that's my only complaint if we end it at this round.

[quote name='Sandy']Mwah, first blood is mine to draw![/quote] [font=tahoma]*mumbles* yeah yeah >.>, lol. You got lucky. :p Anyway, my intent is done. Either way it seemed as if Etamet and Mary were doomed since the first three killers had the same intentions. My my such bloodshed. [/font]

[FONT=Tahoma][color=darkslategray]The scenery of the jungle didn?t change much in terms of all the dark trees and vines. Dafine still struggled with the little burning sensation left in her male body, but she would survive it seemed. Cameron watched her as she let her hands roam around Satasha?s body as if trying to brush something off. [b]?You still don?t have a clue what was causing that reaction within you??[/b] he asked, still curious himself. [b]?Of course not! Everything seemed fine for the first minute or so??[/b] she responded genuinely confused. Delita looked back at them as Etamet continued to remove vines and other nature like disturbances out of the groups way. He seemed rather accustomed to moving around in such venues. Delita thought long and hard?as the eternal onlooker he must have had some knowledge of how the last puzzle?s consequences must have worked?but nothing came to him. Either being in Delita?s body and actually being involved in the struggle had an adverse effect on his thinking?or maybe there were just things not meant for even him to know. The thought pattern continued as the group reached a real cave, rather then a corridor that simply looked like one. Etamet examined the outside edges, figuring that being too careful knew no bounds anymore. [b]?There must be another way, this cave is only one of many exits to this area of The Panopticon, right??[/b] Dafine asked, targeting Delita with the question. Cameron was nearly fed up with hearing the word ?Panopticon? already. He remained silent yet. [b]?It?s possible, but the jungle is vast. We were fortunate to find an exit as quickly as we did. I would not suggest roaming any further through the trees.?[/b] The Onlooker explained. Just then Etamet gazed upward, his attention influenced by a drop of rain. It was followed by more and in almost no time a few drops escalated into a downpour. [b]?Well, this is great. All the joys of the outdoors even when confined, eh??[/b] Cameron stated sarcastically, covering his head with his jacket. Everyone else tried to cover themselves as best as possible. [b]?Even if we choose not to proceed down the cave, we can atleast hang around inside for a little to protect us from the rain.?[/b] Etamet suggested, the others taking the hint and hurrying about 5 feet into the cave. They seated themselves, staying alert though at the same time. Delita looked into the cave further and could only see darkness, there was no telling what was in there. Etamet stared as well, he felt cold and tried to keep himself warm with his arms as best as possible. Lightning began to show in the sky and thunder crashed. It was a true storm now. It was then though when the realization came, almost to each member at the same time, as Delita spoke the common thought. [b]?The flash of light! The light that emitted from the pedestal?it must have done something to our bodies as a deterrent to ensure we solved the grid before we crossed.?[/b] [b]?I was thinking the same?even though it seems illogical.?[/b] Dafine admitted. [b]?Then?is whatever was done to us?still in effect??[/b] Etamet asked, his words choppy from the cold. [b]?I don?t know that. But it should only matter for that particular puzzle.?[/b] Delita answered. Nobody really looked convinced, but they were relieved that there was some light shed on their situation. The rain stayed constant, the real decision to be made though was what was more dangerous?proceeding into the cave, or the storm outside. Dafine stood and walked toward the cave entrance just a few feet to take a look outside. It was so normal looking?maybe not from where she was from, but the scenery, it was like a normal jungle with normal rain, normal everything. Yet the place they were in?it was anything but normal. Her somewhat peaceful thoughts were interrupted however. [b]?Can we get moving? If it?s best not to traverse the jungle then we might as well get seeing where this cave goes over with.?[/b] Cameron suggested. [b]?I think that?s best as well, anybody have any objections??[/b] Delita asked. There was no response of objections, so she and Etamet raised to their feet as well. Dafine sighed and turned around to face inside the cave. [b]?Alright?lets g??[/b] A crash of thunder followed by a lightning bolt hitting the top of the entrance to the cave interrupted Dafine?s sentence, as rocks and rubble from the cave broke from their structure and crushed Dafine beneath them. Etamet and Delita ran to the pile of rubble and tried to move them. Not only was it difficult due to the weight of the rocks, but probably an attempt in futility as well. The chances of Dafine?s survival were slim to none. Not only that, but had they remained indecisive, they had no choice now. The cave entrance was blocked off. [b]?How sad??[/b] Etamet said before giving up on moving the rocks. [b]?Come?we have to keep going.?[/b] Delita said with a sigh, walking slowly away from the pile.

[FONT=Tahoma]Well that was quite easy to edit actually. I didn't have to change much and it still turned out to be fine. Guess I was too focused on putting that idea into action to notice the details of the card rules and what not. And um....[size=4][b]OVERRULED![/b][/size] *cough* Hey i can say it, i edited didn't I? >.>[/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]I too do not recall having seen that but apparently others have (I am still searching for it). *mumble*, there goes that idea. Thought it was rather good anyway. Also about the card, upon inquiry DB explained to me that when a body with another spirit inside of it dies, the spirit inside of it dies. Therefore Satasha's body was killed with Dafine's spirit inside, therefore Dafine is dead. I'll go back and edit the death card out since i have two others in mind i'd like to kill (unless nobody makes that kill until I get to), but according to the explanation I received i placed the right picture card there.[/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]Well, looks like if Satasha ever does make it back to a body...his is no longer available. But Dafine's never going to be using her's again. Looks like I beat Sandy to drawing first blood this round ;). As for my special card... I certainly found having possesion of that card to come with quite a lot of interesting options on how to use it :). Who knows why I made the choice I did, perhaps it's obvious...perhaps not. Mwahaha. [/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][color=darkslategray]Cameron stayed at the rear of the group as they walked, it was a measure of caution and to observe the mannerisms and anything else physiologically noteworthy of the group members...especially Delita. Etamet was certainly very odd looking to him as well, Satasha was probably the only one in the group who resembled the type of people he is used to seeing, well Satasha's body anyway. That wasn't enough to earn his trust either though. The corridor was a small one, but as they approached the end the insides were covered in vines of all sorts of colors, mostly greens and reds. It looked like they grew across the walls of the corridor from another source, it created an underground tunnel like atmosphere but the feeling amongst the group changed very little. Etamet just ran his across some of the vines as they walked by, they were normal and seemed harmless. [b]"It seems like we may be approaching some sort of outdoor part of The Panopticon."[/b] Delita said, continuing further as the same pace. [b]"Outdoors...wait, you mean we've escaped?"[/b] Dafine asked, though doubt was in her voice as well from how easy it seemed. [b]"No...The Panopticon has several outdoor sections to it eventhough they are all still within the confines of the walls. It's just another part of the structure."[/b] The Eternal Onlooker explained. Expressions of dissapointment emerged onto everyone's faces, though there was no surprise. Who knows how much confidence was in anyone left anymore at how likely their chances of escaping this place was anymore. The onlooker was indeed right as they came out into the open into a starlit jungle. It was almost beautiful if it wasn't so begrime infront of them. The group paved their way through handing vines and weaved in and out of tree trunks. A little further up they could hear the sound of running water, along with some splashes. Etamet wrapped his arms around a group of rather thick vines and pulled them out of the way while the Onlooker led the group through to a rather large clearing with a giant fountain in the middle. Water flowed down the middle of the fountain and spawned out in every direction, it was very gothic lookin and appeared almost new, as if it were put in that same day. Etamet stepped through behind Cameron, bumping into him by accident. Cameron eyed him suspiciously and watched him walk off as he apologized for it. He took his hand down from his waist and shook his head, figuring it was clear he didn't mean him any ill intent. [b]"L...look at that."[/b] Dafine said, alerting everyone's attention to the large tree-less clearing ahead of the fountain. [b]"Wow, now these are impressive."[/b] Delita said as she walked closer. The group stood and gazed up at the two giant golden statues of what seemed to be protective archers. They stood opposite one another and their bows were aiming downward into the path. Cameron raised an eyebrow and became greatly curious himself, though keeping it to himself. [b]"Statues...do they impede our path Deli...I mean...?"[/b] [b]"You may still call me Delita if you wish, it would probably be easier that way anyway. I don't mind."[/b] The onlooker interrupted Etamet before he could finish his sentence. [b]"...and no, the arrows seem to aim at the path but we can still go through."[/b] Delita walked to the pedestal infront of the statue on the left and examined it curiously while dropping Dafine's body to the ground next to it. A few seconds later a brief flash of light, lasting no longer than half a second emitted from the pedestal. Everyone shielded their eyes for that brief moment. The light was so quick but it emitted such a strong and burning feeling. An ominous voice began to speak seconds after. [center][color=goldenrod]Those who are left...to continue, solve the stone grid. If correct, you shall be insusceptible. If wrong, you will suffer the consequences.[/color][/center] [b]"I see, a puzzle..."[/b] Delita spoke after the voice died down. Etamet and Dafine remained silent still a little weirded out by the words, where as Cameron just started laughing to himself. Everyone turned to him. [b]"Are you serious...is that thing supposed to scare us? I see nothing blocking our path."[/b] Cameron spoke, doubtful of the warning. Delita went back to examining the stone grid on the top of the pedestal, knowing full well that The Panopticon delivered on it's conditions. [b]"Actually, I must agree with him. This could be just another distraction. There is a way we can prove it too."[/b] Dafine spoke, as she leaned over and grabbed a nearby stone with Satasha's hand. [b]"Wait, what do you think you're doing?"[/b] The Onlooker asked, taking his attention from the pedestal. Dafine walked forward and tossed the stone into the path passed the two archers. Everyone grew silent and watched on as the rock flew through the air passed the statues completely unharmed. It landed normally and rolled a bit aways. [b]"See? It's fine. So let's just get moving."[/b] Dafine said as she proceeded to walk through. [b]"No...wait!"[/b] The words were ignored as Dafine walked through and between the statues. Everyone watched not daring to go after her because of how close she was to the point where the arrows aimed. Several seconds later though she stood on the other side, completely safe and sound. [b]"Hm...it seems to be true."[/b] Etamet spoke. The others, minus Delita, began to walk forward toward the center of the path. Before they made it though Dafine began clutching her, or Satasha's chest and began yelping in pain. [b]"Wh....what the hell! ARGH! Th...this pain...."[/b] Dafine screamed as she was taken to her knees. Everyone stopped short and watched on in concern. The Onlooker rushed to the center of the path, but without crossing the arrows and made sure to keep Etamet and Cameron away from getting too close. Delita closed her eyes and rushed through as fast as she could and grabbed Dafine's arm and hauled her back to the other side of the statues. Delita's hand burned for the moment it touched Satasha's body but they both fell to the floor panting as normal feeling returned to both of their bodies. [b]"What the hell...just happened?"[/b] Cameron asked slowly and seriously. [b]"It seems as long as we stay on this side we will be fine, but crossing for a long enough period of time is dangerous."[/b] Delita explained. [b]"Holy...."[/b] was all Dafine managed to say as she still tried to fully recover frmo the intense pain and buring sensation that attacked her body. [b]"We have to solve this grid."[/b] Delita said as she rushed back to the pedestal and began moving the circular tiled of the grid to match up the patterns. It was much more difficult then it looked, it was easy to match the symbols up, but only certain ones glowed when done. A part of the panel seemed to diplay the proper symbols that should be activated, Delita tried time after time to match them up in a fashion that would illuminate the correct six symbols. [b]"But...what do you think happened? The statues did nothing, but she was still in danger?"[/b] Etamet wondered outloud. Cameron didn't answer, just taking a seat on the edge of the fountain. He didn't know what happened either, it was something outside his comprehension. What he did figure though was that this place was definitely something beyond reasonable explanation. Hours seemed to pass as the silence continued, and The onlooker in Delita's body continued to work with the grid, growing slightly frustrated everytime he thought he had a pattern down. Several more minutes passed until Delita looked up. [b]"Ha! I've done it."[/b] Delita yelled, grabbing the attention of the other three. Delita walked away from the pedestal and over to the center of the path. [b]"Wait, how can you be sure?"[/b] Cameron inquired, not about ready to make the same mistake Dafine did. [b]"I'm sure, i've seen these types of puzzles around before. Not this one specifically but the correct symbols have been activated. As I've already said, my plan is to get you all out of here, I would not steer you wrong."[/b] Delita reassured them. The Onlooker walked ahead, Etamet, Dafine and Cameron hesitantly following behind. Delita's body crossed the center between the arrows when two golden beams shot out from the tips and engulged him. [b]"But...I thought the statues had no purpose? Is there more than one way to be killed by this puzzle?"[/b] Etamet cried, wanting to save The Onlooker. Moments later though the beams stopped and Delita's body received a very faint golden glow around it, only noticeable if you really concentrated. [b]"You're...alive?"[/b] Etamet asked. The Onlooker looked at his hands, or Delita's hands rather, and the rest of her body. He was fine...in fact, he felt incredible. [b]"I'm fine...everything is fine now. Come on, we shouldn't stay here."[/b] Delita walked off after once again hoisting Dafine's body up on her shoulders...the others slowly advancing as well. They slowed as they passed through the center but nothing happened. They looked at one another and continued on, still reluctant but not wanting to be left behind by the person who seemed to know the most about their situation.

[FONT=Tahoma]I saw the preview for this when I went to see PotC: At World's End. I do not recall it from anytime in my past, though I figured it was based off of something. I havn't read any of the book(s) but the trailer certainly drew me in with the concept and the visual effects. It truly does look like the "next epic movie" and I've marked it down for it's december release. I'm not really sure what to expect from it but it looks like the imagination at it's best.[/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]I was going to handle The Panopticon anyway, so you can go ahead and cross that one off and expect it from me hopefully sometime this week. I intended to cover both threads initially as well.[/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]I've revealed my intentions to only one person thus far, but I think I shall let my upcoming posts speak for me from here on out ;P. At this point it's easier to figure that everyone thinks they may know everyone else's character by a whole bunch of clues, but silence will be the best weapon here ;). Though the newcomer definitely throws things off a bit, but not by much. [/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]Fei watched Luyii as she led him further in. He tried not to let his eyes wander too much, but at times it seemed unavoidable. He was discreet about it however. They began ascending a flight of stairs before Fei Long spoke up a gain. [b]"So, I will meet the War Dragon personally?"[/b] he asked, figuring it was true but seeking the assurance anyway. [b]"Yes, he likes to meet with most first time fighters personally and match them up as he sees fit."[/b] she responded. Fei nodded as they reached Sai's door. Luyii knocked on the door, her heartbeat quickening from the idea of being able to see Sai again and spend some time with him while this new comer had his first match up. Sai sounded as if he deeply missed her presence as well from their conversation over the phone. Sai was expecting her, and Fei Long as well. When it came to a mixture of business and pleasure there typically wasn't too many problems, but the War Dragon had been up to his elbows in so much that he would welcome taking a sit back for a few hours with Luyii and leave the majority of the regulations to his assistants. The door opened and Sai greeted Luyii with a small kiss of greeting, then allowed her entry while Fei followed. Sai extended his hand to Fei and both bowed their heads to one another as they shook. [b]"War Dragon of the brotherhood of eternal repose, it's an honor."[/b] Fei said, standing with his hand folded infront of him after breaking the handshake with Sai. [b]"It is nice to meet a young and promising fighter such as yourself, the ring is always looking for your type to spice things up."[/b] Sai replied sincerely. Luyii sat in the chair behind Sai, observing him as he spoke, her legs switching their crossed placements every thirty seconds or so. The fight ring boss took a step back and shuffled through a few papers on his desk after they finished their small talk. He pulled the one he had selected earlier out after Luyii had given him a rundown of Fei's style and experience. Sai read it over quickly to remind himself of anything he might have not recalled from his quick looking over earlier and smiled at Fei. [b]"My assistant Kwan shall escort you down to the floor. Your fight will follow the next one. Your opponent is Fu Shao, a very capable kung fu stylist with a decent ground game as well. Fighting him will break you in nicely, and let you know right away if you truly belong here or not."[/b] Sai explained, his voice stern and serious. Fei Long nodded and bowed his head again in respect, accepting the match up willingly. He thanked Sai before Kwan took Fei down to the floor. As soon as the door closed behind them, Sai turned to Luyii who was already standing and walking to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and his around her waist and hugged him close to her, her cheek against his shoulder. He took her cheek with his hand semi-forcefully and planted a deep kiss on Luyii's lips. [b]"It's good to see you, I was growing much too bored with all the work here. "[/b] Luyii giggled at Sai's comment and brought him by his hand to his seat and sat him down, while she cleared a space for herself on his desk and sat infront of him in a provocative manner, her legs crossed with her bare foot resting up against his crotch, her back arched with her hands supporting her from the sides. [b]"I bet it is. You won't be bored anymore, I promise you that."[/b] she said, giving him an inviting smile as she massaged his area slowly with her foot. Sai clutched the arms of his chair and leaned his head back. His hands quickly found their way to her leg though, sliding them slowly up and down her calf. She grinned at him, and and uncrossed her legs to leave them open just a bit to him. [b]"So, I'm sure my father has spoken with you already."[/b] she said, alluding to something specific. Sai took some time to find his train of thought before he answered. [b]"Yes. He's expressed his desire for my fertility testing. Though personally I know I've...no problems in that area."[/b] Sai replied, still a bit distracted from the activity going on below the belt, as well as the feel of Luyii's smooth legs and visible lingerie bottoms. [b]"Heh, yes my father is quite thorough and straight forward. He very much looks forward to our day."[/b] she said while glancing into the air for a brief moment. [b]"Do you look forward to it?"[/b] Sai asked ,wanting to make sure Luyii was not discontent. Luyii answered initially with a glance that transformed into a smile. She knew that she would have to have a child, and that after the ceremony Sai would officially become the heir to Fai Chou's position in the brotherhood. She would be happy, Sai would be happy, and her father would be happy. The formula seemed to work out perfectly. [b]"It may be a forced marriage, but not only am I ready, I couldn't be happier."[/b] she replied confidently. She pulled him closer with her free foot by his chair arm and inched herself closer to him. His hands reached the inside of her thighs as she pressed her chest against his face in a tight embrace. The two stopped only for a brief second after hearing Fei Long's fight announced and the sound of the crowd cheering and chanting Fu Shao's name. Sai looked up and out toward the window of his office that overlooked the fight floor, though they were too far back to see anything or to be seen. [b]"I wonder how the new acquisition will do. Fu Shao is no pushover."[/b] Sai thought aloud. [b]"We can find out after we've finished."[/b] Luyii said, going back to what she was doing, much to Sai's acceptance.[/FONT]

[QUOTE=Rachmaninoff]Well irony isn't what I was aiming for. I was planning on hurting one of the two players I see as a big threat. You and BKstyles.

[FONT=Tahoma]It's just bewildering to me how some people are still actually convinced there's a possibility of a hentai forum being put up. The purpose of this thread is long since finished. Time spent arguing about the addition of a hentai forum here from these people could be spent looking around the internet for hentai. This is like arguing that a McDonalds should be put in the empty lot when you could go to the McDonalds across the street instead to save time and get what you want anyway.[/FONT]

[QUOTE=Rachmaninoff] Also...you must have missed my post then since I had Oromis completely and totally suspicious of Brittany due to what had happened to her. >_< [/QUOTE] [font=tahoma]Eh, everyone is allowed one mistake, afterall I can't be perfect allll the time :rolleyes:.

[QUOTE=Darren]I like the room of mirrors... Though I'm trying to come up with a very creative trap to use it with. I don't suppose it really matters though since we can't kill yet. One thing I've noticed about this whole thing was that Julian is the comic relief of this story. First, teleporting into Lucia's position with Katar, and now all of this... Also, BK, I'm not sure if you did it on purpose, but there was no mention of Brittany in your post at all. Like I said, you might have done it on purpose just because she's not much of a talker, but I'm not sure. And I'm not sure if DB granted everyone with just 1 card, or if he allowed himself a card to play with. If so, then I'm assuming that everyone has played their card except 1 person: [B]Player Killer, Infinity, Fate, Creation, and Life[/B]... Now we're just waiting on the other one. (By the way, DB, I'm really liking some of these cards you're coming up with. Now I can use them for mine when the time comes :D )[/QUOTE] [font=tahoma]I do not believe Rach has used his card yet either. He's been waiting to see all the others, and I've been waiting for a certain time as well. That will come soon though. Also, i didn't make mention of Brittany because I was going by DB's recent list: [QUOTE=Da guy who be runnin dis show][color=darkred]Also... Group One: Julian Marx Oromis Tu'Wail Mary Withers Lucia Travera *Sastasha's Mind* Group Two: Dafine Hecata (In Sastasha's body) Etamet Cameron Desouza Delita (With the Eternal Onlooker's mind in her body) *Dafine's body* My god, it's confusing even with the list O_o[/color][/quote] So I didn't realize Brit was still with em, heh.[/font]

[FONT=Tahoma][color=darkslategray][center][b]Group 1[/b][/center][/color] [b]"Mary, Lucia...it's time to go. Are you feeling alright?"[/b] Oromis announced, directing the last question to Mary. Lucia stood up and helped Mary to her feet while Julian leaned against the wall trying to rest as well. [b]"Yeah...it wasn't really all that painful. Just a little shock."[/b] Mary answered. Lucia let out a yawn and the two ladies followed Oromis out the only opening from where they were. That option soon proved to be as counter productive as staying still as they reached a wall blocking their path. Oromis just looked at it dumbfounded, but at the same time not very surprised. [b]"That...wasn't there before...right?"[/b] Julian asked in a defeated tone. The girls looked at him, Mary especially with an expression that said [i]"Of course not, what did you expect?"[/i]. Julian took the hint and decided to stop saying stupid things, at least not out loud infront of everyone else. Oromis just sighed and turned around to face the others. [b]"Well...there is one thing at least that we can count on. There has always been a way out..."[/b] Almost instantly as soon as Oromis spoke, the ground collapsed beneathe him causing him to plummet downward. Lucia and Mary gasped and ran to the hole. They peered down into it, to their surprise it wasn't very deep at all. They just saw Oromis there in a seated position rubbing his head, probably hurting from some of the debris falling on him. [b]"Hey! Are you alright?"[/b] Lucia cried down to him. Oromis just continued rubbing his head and looked up only moments later to the other three looking down toward him. [b]"Yeah...no problem."[/b] he said, standing himself up. [b]"Well, there's the way out you were talking about!"[/b] Mary said with a giggle. Oromis just rolled his eyes and took some time out to examine where he had fallen. Forward from him was a short corridor leading to a very elegant looking silver double door, it was gem encrusted and clearly resembled something that you'd normally find in a very high class place, like a royal palace of some sort. Behind him was what seemed to be a blocked off path by a cave in, he could hear the flickering of flames from behind it and even felt some of the heat radiating from it. [b][i]'Was there some kind of blast of some sort that caused the floor to give way?'[/i][/b] he thought to himself. He walked a little closer to it and examined the rocks. He decided it was best not to mess around with anything after a good look. Plus, he liked the sight of the door a lot better. [b]"Jump down, I'll catch each of you. It looks like we can go through this door."[/b] Oromis yelled up to the others. [b]"Jump? A..are you sure?"[/b] Lucia asked, a little shakiness in her voice. [b]"Hey i'm not short on muscle or anything, It's not like i'll drop you!"[/b] Oromis answered, leaving Lucia feeling a little silly. Lucia nodded to Mary, as she walked as close as she could to the edge without falling. Mary did the same, Lucia motioned for her to go first. Mary closed her eyes and counter to three in her head, leaping with a little yelp afterwards. She landed in Oromis's waiting arms with ease. He put her down and she immedietely became fixated on the door. Lucia was up next, Oromis held out his arms and motioned for her to jump. Lucia was mumbling a bit to herself, mostly about what she was doing there and wondering why jumping about 10 yards down into the arms of a well built man of about two hundred and seventy pounds was even a concern in her head compared to everything else she's been through so far. Finally she just took a deep breathe and jumped down, Oromis catching her with almost as much ease as with Mary. He placed her down softly and she walked over to Mary after bowing her head in thanks to Oromis. Julian looked down a little hesitant, Oromis just sighed and waved him down. [b]"Look, just fucking jump would ya? I'm not going to drop you."[/b] he said, as if his frustration with Julian had carried over from their previous experiences. Julian wiped a bit of sweat off his brow and took a few practice tries at how he was going to leap. Oromis was clearly in a state of impatience as he bellowed upward one last time. Julian snapped to and decided that it was time to go. He counted three to himself like mary did and forced himself over the edge. As he fell, Oromis stood ready to catch him. Exactly one second after Julian's free-fall scream began though, Oromis's nose began to tickle. [b][i]'Uh oh...'[/b][/i] he thought to himself. A split second later a giant sneeze erupted from Oromis causing him to retract his arms momentarily. A definitive THUD sound came next as Julian landed where Oromis's arms were before the sneeze. Julian lied there on his back looking up into the air, his eyes with a glazed over look in them, the only thought going through his mind being [i]'He did that on purpose!'[/i]. Lucia and Mary covered their mouths at the sight, more so to try and hold in some laughter. They both knew it was a little harsh but it was just too funny to not at least giggle a bit. [b]"Ehehe, sorry about that buddy!"[/b] Oromis said semi-facetiously as a smile forced it's way on his face. He helped Julian up with one arm and shoved him forward toward the girls. Julian looked at both of them and could tell they were trying to keep their laughter in. The group made their way toward the large double door. Lucia and Mary were commenting on how beautiful it was. Oromis pushed his way forward and took the liberty of opening it up, not wanting there to be any more hesitation. A great deal of light shone through as the doors opened, so bright that it temporarily forced everyone to shield their eyes. [b]"Eh, so bright!"[/b] Mary said, hiding behind her arms. Oromis advanced in first using his left hand as a feeler. It took a few moments for everyone's eyes to adjust but as soon as they did they looked around with the utter definition of confusion in their eyes. [b]"W..what the hell? How are we supposed to find out way through this?"[/b] Julian asked aloud. Everyone just surveyed the area, but all they ever saw was...themselves. The door had closed behind them and the reflecting images of themselves within the myriad of mirrors that surrounded them was all there was to behold. There appeared to be pathways, but every wall and even the ceiling were lined with mirrors. Mary tried to take a few steps forward to see if she could get a better look around but she crashed into a mirror causing her to fall back into Lucia's arms. [b]"Well...this is new..."[/b] Oromis stated before sighing to himself. [/FONT]

[QUOTE=Rachmaninoff]Destiny Bond? o_O Am I the only one here who has never seen Pokemon or played it for that matter? Seriously, until I heard the song due to the Titans using it in one of the challenges in the Survivor RPG I had never heard it either. Also...I still want to see more cards before I play mine! Dammit! Only three more posts and the killing will begin. Forcing me to decide what to do at that point. >_< This round is killing me![/QUOTE] [font=tahoma]Blashphemy O.O All know the great song of pokemon greatness! *Squirtle attacks Rach with water gun* Annnnyways, my post shall be up momentarily and yey it shall be fun :) [b]Edit:[/b] I shall use my card in my next post (which will more than likely come relatively soon), i was just eager to get this idea going for someone to run with :p.[/font]

[quote name='Baby Girl][color=deeppink']I think you're just seeing things. Maybe you should clean out your eyes. You wouldn't want to accidentally get hit with a banstick! Hee![/color][/quote] [font=tahoma]Frightening :(. I don't like Baby Girl, she's a mean individual. Certainly characteristic of a terrorist.[/font]

[FONT=Tahoma]You know what else is kind of weird...I mean...I wasn't sure if i should have brought this up, i mean it's probably just me. Well here goes...I found it a little odd that well...Charles's first post in the terrorist thread has all of a sudden become Baby Girl's post O.O. I mean, it's like his name just dissapeared and she took over....does anyone else see that or am I just going crazy, because I don't think I can handle it if i'm seeing things ;_ ;. I think someone should alert James or Des about this >.>[/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]First off, do not take everything you hear on a show like Oprah (especially Oprah) too seriously as the fact of the matter with that is that anybody will believe what a rich host of a highly rated show will say despite holes in the validity of most of their so called statistics. Too much is involved with compiling an accurate sample to make such a claim with confidence to as large of an audience as the people who watch Oprah, and i do very much doubt that each one is taken properly. So whether it's true or not I don't know, but i wouldn't put too much stock in the presented number. What your asking is completely based on the individual and his/her personality or own agenda. Though stereotypes arise from the amounts of such instances within each gender in comparison to the other is widely accepted, but it would be inaccurate to believe that this is some kind of gender scheme or expected method of behavior because no matter what the percentage, the minority is still an extravagent number considering the people you'd personally meet in your own lifetime. This goes for many things, not just who doesn't give closure and who doesn't tell the truth. Personally, I have been through a very hard break-up about 3 1/2 years ago. I've had a few but this one I took the hardest because I legitamately loved her with all my heart. This was a very life changing one at that and i'd honestly rather not get into it now. Simply because it's an exceptionally long story. Even now, I don't think I can admit to being completely over her. But thankfully our foundation of friendship was strong enough to keep us as best friends to this day. I wouldn't neccesarily say I need closure, things are alright for the most part. Saying there aren't any unanswered questions would be a lie, but we've been open enough with each other since then about what happened, how things went wrong, etc. So i'm not at a lack for closure. It's more like a lack of being completely ok with what happened. Honestly though the friendship is very worth it, and I am satisfied with the way things are now. Friends will typically last much longer then any boy/girlfriend will in your lifetime.[/FONT]
