[COLOR=DarkRed][CENTER][U][B]Group 1[/B][/U][/CENTER] Oromis sat in silence. He watched Brittany hold tight to her cross and cry superfluously into it. Eventually he finally stood up. Brittany looked up and watched him as he shuffled along through the soft dirt into which his feet sank with each fall. He first went over to Mary. She appeared to be unconscious, though her eyes were open. Her face was covered in snot, tears, and vomit. Oromis didn?t have time to help her - she was choking on her own vomit. By the time he got to her and tried to tilt her head, her mouth had already filled with blood. There was a final gag as her heart shut off and blood covered her face. Oromis closed his eyes and rose to his feet. He walked over to where Julian was sniveling and holding his hand. Oromis stared down at him a moment. Julian turned his frightened gaze up toward the burly man who said and did nothing but walk away. He walked back toward Brittany, beckoning her as he did so. [B]?Come on,?[/B] he said flatly. Brittany remained sitting a moment before nodding and standing up. The two began walking off. [B]?WAIT!?[/B] Julian called after them. He rose to his feet, still slightly shacking with a wavering voice. His mind was back to normal, frightened as he was, but he was strengthened by the sight of the other two. Oromis only turned his head momentarily, shooting Julian a serious glance and Brittany turned to face him. [B]?I?m coming,?[/B] Julian said. Brittany nodded for whatever reason she felt necessary. On that same coin, Julian headed over to join them. The three headed off into the distance. Mary?s body sank into the ground. [CENTER][U][B]Group 2[/B][/U][/CENTER] Cameron, Etamet, and Delita continued onward through the cave corridor before suddenly Etamet froze. The others both turned to face him, glancing quizzically. [B]?You okay??[/B] Cameron asked. Etamet?s hand clutched toward his chest and he began grating his teeth. The hand started to glow green. [B]?Etamet? What?s wrong?!?[/B] Delita asked, placing her hands on his shoulder. Suddenly a voice boomed from above. [CENTER][B]FATE[/B][/CENTER] Delita remembered instantly how Etamet had placed his hand on the panel before and the voice that said his fate had been tied. Immediately, Delita began shaking him. [B]?Etamet! Speak to me! Come on!!!?[/B] Etamet let out a growl. He was straining just to keep breathing. His torso began to hunch over and his chest was filled with pain. [B]?ETAMET!?[/B] Just as the yelp left Delita?s throat there was a sound of a pop from Etamet. His hand, laying flat against his chest, exploded. A large chuck of his chest was blown open and a splatter of blood dressed the onlookers as well as the walls. Delita shook with sorrow that he had been unable to protect so many. Cameron was slightly shaken, but more surprised and finding it strange that he was there, and covered in blood. For a moment the two remained still before Delita turned and silently began walking down the corridor. Cameron silently followed.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Sandy]Yay, Beth, you did it! XD Your move leaves six characters alive (Julian, Oromis, Brittany, Dafine, Cameron and Delita), although there are still four Death Cards unplayed this round. My situation is looking pretty damn good anyway, if I may say so... ;P[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed]You can cross Dafine off now, thanks to Bk as well. This is where stuff gets really nasty cuz after I finish the fate card, all the characters left are ones i like! BTW, Sunfall, so much for your revenge :p [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Sunfall, that would actually be 4 you killed this round ^^;; in any event, yeah, I'm gunna make those 2 die ASAP.[/COLOR]

[quote name='Sandy']Mwah, first blood is mine to draw! I'm just worried that we don't have enough characters left for Chapter Four soon, especially if Mary and Etamet are taken by the bond of fate.[/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed]Don't worry bout it. I've got eeeeeeeeeverying under control and carefully idea-ified. there will be no problems with me at the helm :animesmil :catgirl: :animesmil [/COLOR]

[COLOR=Magenta]XD I love how quickly you all edited your posts. [B]Name[/B]: Joe Deadrien [B]Age[/B]: 29 [B]Gender[/B]: male [B]Appearance[/B]: [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/MetalSonic700/kyon.jpg[/IMG] [B]Biography[/B]: Joe has been at Esper Hall for 11 years now, and is one of the higher-ranked espers in both power and overall standing. Joe knows all the ropes and is well-acquainted with just about everyone on the premise. Despite his demeanor, always seeming completely uninterested in the surroundings, he is very knowledgeable in many fields. Joe is one of the older members who strongly believes in keeping Esper hall from becoming a school in any way. He is occasionally gives speeches about advances in research since he is one of the most knowledgeable when it comes to esper powers. Joe is almost constantly busy and is always being tugged away at random to be put onto some kind of job. Between being an important member of the community and trying to help others, he doesn?t have much time to himself it seems. Many people have noted that he moves so fast he seems to be in two places at once. This has never been confirmed. Joe seems to know a detailed amount about any given person in the community and acts as counselor to some. Aside from the people who are deliberately his enemies, most consider him a friend. Joe hates the leader of Esper Hall with an undying passion, as do most residents of the community, and he has gotten into trouble countless times for striking against him. [B]Powers[/B]: Joe has a pallet of powers that cannot easily be explained. He rarely showcases them unless in a demonstration. Many seem to think he can be in two places at once, though no one is sure if this is even possible. Some people theorize that he is a mage, but this is not true. [B]Affinity[/B]: Dude, quit giving me that look. [B]Other facts[/B]: Loves instrumental rock, published 1/11 of all (non-fiction) books on espers, is a certified genius.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=SunfallE][COLOR=goldenrod]And here it is! Haha! I guess I ignored it since my card could only be played in the underground so being able to use it in the same post was out of the question. lol Oh the delima! What's it gonna be BKstyles? Hehe.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed]It should be an easy choice, trust me. BK found a great way of using his cards, I doubt it'll be a problem for him to skip a post ;) in any event, his post will need severe editing though (not that I've read it yet ^^;;)[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=SunfallE][COLOR=goldenrod]Well because they say choice is a good thing....Here's another one for you DB. [IMG]http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/7905/dbva4.png[/IMG] [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR=Magenta]damn, that one kicks *** as well! Okay, I'll alternate between them for the duration of the rp. It seems like it'll be pretty long anyhow, assuming I get some good sign ups *winkwinknudgenudgepointSunfallEandDarrentowardsignup*[/COLOR]

[quote name='SunfallE][color=goldenrod']Uh where is that rule Sandy? I know Rach had that as one in the Maze since I followed along, but I don't recall seeing that here in this one. Or did I miss it? And yeah, you have the wrong picture up BKstyles. :p[/COLOR][/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed]I checked back at the beginning of ch 3 (5 pages back) it says 'you still can't use the card on the same turn as the death card' ^^;; sorry BK.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]10th anniversary DB's overly long episode review! My darlin' Darlin' FREEZE! God, I still haven't goten used to that >_< XDDDD!!!! I really have to know why Tsukasa is obsessed with balsamic vinegar! It deserves to be noted that this episode takes the cuteness of their outfits to a whole new level. I've liked how they've made certain outfits reappear to keepa sense of realism, but certain ones like Tsukasa's red and black stripes are welcome additions to the wardrobe. OH. MY. GOD! The scene with the store clerks is the best. ****ing. scene. EVAR! That's exactly what this show needed to take it bacl to it's full height! Purely amazing! My jaw was hanging open! "Even TV is starting to look like 2ch" XD we could say the same of 4chan and G4 over here... Kona's dad = coolest dad on earth. "A scene from my dreams!" Someone buy this man a lolipop! I love how the tears all of a sudden start pouring down his face as well. [strike]Plus I would like to snuggle that red sweatshirt Tsukasa was wearing...[/strike] Real quick: hair switch = strange, Kona's mom = goddess, Kagami = getting funnier with each episode it seems, Shiraishai cameo = awesome, Kagami-sama = why did they translate it as 'Kagami the great?' Shiraishai's speech was great, though not laugh-out-loud funny or anything. and .... wait... was Akira just SCRATCHING HER CROTCH?!?!?!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?![/COLOR]

[COLOR=Magenta] :animesmil I like it! the design is really cool, I like it more than what I had pictured in my head! I anyone else has an idea, they're of course allowed to try, but I'l put this up for now. domo arigatou gozaimasu![/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]O_o since when are the 90's considered oldies? Though i guess as a modernist I should adopt the mentality. [B]THUNDERCATS[/B]!!! Actually, i have no idea if that's an anime or not, only that I used to watch it when I came home from school. I never watched [B]Sailor Moon [/B] and i only saw a tiny but of [B]Gundam Wing[/B]. I guess if we're calling out the nineties than [B]DBZ [/B] would have to go in here and probably [B]Pokemon [/B] as well. Seriously, though, when I think 'oldies' i think [B]Robotech [/B] or something. By yalls standards, [B]Evangelion [/B] is oldies O_O[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Magenta]Ah, I should've been more clear on this, but some seem to be confused. Everyone seems to have a completely different perspective of how people show up at esper hall. Ayokano, may I remind you, Esper Hall is [B][U][I]NOT[/I][/U][/B] a school. It is a community. This is a place where people come to, they are not sent nor are they recruited or anything. It's not like this is a well-known place or something. Prem, it's also not something you 'get into'. You just go there.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Magenta]I'm looking for a banner (for my sig) for my new RP [B]Esper Jam! [/B] The key here is the color pink, since it's the trademark color of the rp. I want it to be nifty and cool and have lots of pink and white. Naturally, the words Esper Jam! have to be prominant on it somewhere. The word esper should be more serious looking while Jam! should look goofy and fun. Also, I'd like to get [url=http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r311/renagades187/?action=view¤t=kyon.jpg]this guy[/url] on there somewhere (his name is Kyon) and he must look bored or agitated (not hard to find, he always looks that way XD) I'd prefer it not exceed 100X350.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]ah, mitch. Always with your heisting of the popular poem-glomp threads. :catgirl: Anywho, here's a childish poem I wrote. The only line I don't like is the end of the second stanza. [CENTER][B]Look it Up! - [E][/B] I heard a word spoken aloud; From mother's mouth it was avowed, But I didn't quite catch the meaning; Didn't know what it was about. So I opened up this big book, Found the right page, and took a look, And what I saw was so revealing That a thought began to cook. I found my mom and said to her, "If you'd allow me to infer, If it means I'll have to clean my room I'll never be mature!" [/CENTER] [/COLOR]

[quote name='affection][SIZE=1][FONT=Georgia]It's impossible to define, of course. Not even a dictionary gives you something accurate. I didn't say that it was full of arguments, but people claim it to be. They say they are in love but they are the most miserable people I know.This goes for both married and unmarried couples. There is no possible way to define love, you can't even explain it to the one you love. When I say it is what you make it, I don't mean you can sit there put a little sugar and honey into love. No, I mean that you have to try. You can't be selfish because it's not going to work out. You need compromise and trust. If you don't have that, then you really don't have much.[/FONT'][/SIZE][/quote] [COLOR=DarkOrange]i think what Mitch is trying to explain is that love is immaculate. It's not something that has a definitive form - you can't add and take away from it - it isn't an action. It's a feeling. It's not something you control through your actions, nor is it something other people can control for you - love just is. If you feel it, you feel it, if you don't, you don't and that's all there is to it. The sort of love that has to be controlled is only the thing that we tell ourselves love its, brought on by the common idea of love. It becomes no longer an emotion, but a word subject to human definition.[/COLOR]

[quote name='BKstyles][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][/quote] [COLOR=DarkOrange] :p You can do the news article, but I've got dibs on writing the otakupedia article for the Labyrinth series. I'm interested to see what you come up with, in any event. I call the community anthology thread.[/COLOR]

A lot have told me through PM, though occasionally I go to the Who's Online and catch Ikillion looking at the Panopticon Underground and I smirk wide with joy XD Speaking of, I know this rp is pretty time consuming, but I've got another one in the Adventure Inn now :p Don't be shy to sign up just cuz you're on this one; I plan to start the new one the exact day this one ends.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Magenta][CENTER][IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/MetalSonic700/esperjambanner.png[/IMG] [B]Esper Jam! [PG-13 - VSL][/CENTER][/B] [I]What the hell isn?t subject to change? Nothing! Anything can be edited. The universe is the playground of the mind! Don?t you agree? Ah, but of course it?s not like everyone has that kind of ability. Some of us are lucky, though. With the right kind of power, anyone can mold reality to their liking - we are the ones with that power. We are espers![/I] Naturally, the enthusiastic words of our leader don?t necessarily explain our power all that well. I mean, he?s right, but that pompous jackass is definitely working to make us sound like some all-powerful mages or something. Oh, right, I haven?t even told you who I am yet (silly me). The name?s Joe; Joe Deadrien. I?m the guy who?s giving the tour. Welcome to Esper Hall. What the hell is going on you ask? Well, this conveniently placed back-story should help a little? [CENTER][IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/MetalSonic700/esperhallbackstory.png[/IMG][/CENTER] Some of the people here, like myself, are fairly powerful, and others are new just like yourself. Don?t worry - most of the folks around here are nice and more than willing to help you out, plus I?m sure you?ll get along with the other new people. Let me show you around. [CENTER][url=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/MetalSonic700/DSC02006.jpg] [B]the Building[/B][/url][/CENTER] Sorry you had to drive for so long to get out here. I can?t think of a good reason why they built this thing so far out in the middle of nowhere, but it?s a pain in the *** for new members. Gives you an extra incentive to learn how to teleport, though. That?s most people?s first objective, heh. You probably won?t listen to me, but I warn you, it ain?t easy. [CENTER][url=http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?jji8pbd1zg0] [B]the Lounge[/B][/url][/CENTER] Ah, one of the many hangout rooms around here. Some have game consoles set up if you?re into that kind of thing. Since this is a live-in ?community? it?s important to have things like this to keep people from going completely insane with boredom? ah, let?s see. [CENTER][url=http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?jji9btyekno] [B]the Study Hall[/B][/url][/CENTER] Here?s the study hall. Being an esper requires important knowledge in quite a few fields. While you can be good without studying - you can?t be great. Also, it?s cool to know just what the hell your power?s actually doing. It also doubles as a library? gimme a second, I need to return volume 9 of Death Note? [CENTER][url=http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?jji9rc6f37o] [B]Your Room[/B][/url][/CENTER] And lastly, here?s your room. I?m sure you?re ready to unpack your stuff about now, so I?ll leave you be. If you need anything, ask anyone, and if you have troubles come get me and I?ll be sure to help you out. Good luck and good learning. [CENTER]***[/CENTER] Okay, whether you?ve yet guessed what this is about or not, here?s a little explanation. Firstly, Espers. For those who don?t know, espers are sort of like psychics. They can do all kinds of things using their minds. In this rp, an esper is defined as someone who can use their mind to bend reality. A weak esper might be able to levitate, move objects, or use a force of their mind. A strong esper can teleport anywhere in the universe, erase minds, or bend space-time itself. Legend has it that the most powerful esper to ever live made himself immortal. Next, Esper Hall. This is not meant to be like X-men -- we aren?t in hiding or something and this is most definitely not a school. If anything it could be compared to a scholaric community where people live their lives and train their talents at the same time. The design is meant to be like a university in a way, and naturally there are occasional evaluations of progress, since it?s not like they can have people freeloading off of them forever. What an esper aspires for or what they do later in life is all up to them. Your character is a new person at Esper Hall. Your powers are weak, and your training has just begun. As you can see, this RP requires loads of creativity to make it interesting. There are no boundaries here - god-modding is your middle name. For the most part, this will be a sort of slice-of-life story about espers as they grow up in Esper Hall. Everything from rivalries, battles, relationships, the hardships of life and love, and the ultimate mastery of the mind will be covered here. This is world for you to mold with your mind. Now, naturally, there will still be some structure. As the host, I will surely keep things interesting with sub-plots and event that will keep you on your toes and keep things interesting till the very end. And yes, there is an ending. If you?re interested, go ahead and sign up! [B]Name[/B]: [can be absolutely anything.

[COLOR=DarkOrange]First, Prem, ugh. Just ugh >_< Anyhow, considering that most of us would have never heard of anime if it hadn't been on TV for so long, we really have no right to complain about any of it. I am always happy to see more anime fans, and I fully endorse the concept of adding it to more channels, especially since most of those shows are on DVDs that I can't afford XD. So, yeah, only fools would complain.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed] :animeblus I might've gone a little overboard there. I'm sorry - I didn't realize how long it was until I posted it! In any event, that was either my most ruthless, brutal death or at least my favorite I think I've ever written. In fact, this is probably one of my favorite things I've ever written! And so, Brittany's power was finally put to use and I guess she's back to normal, unless one of you is interested in making her even stranger than before XD. In any event... yeah.[/COLOR]
