[COLOR=DarkOrange]ZOMG! The last episode was completely awesome!!! [spoiler]Despite what others say, I thought the fight between Patrelli and Sylar was more than gratifying, namely because I had been waiting so long to see Hiro impale that sunnuva ***** and now I finally got to see it! That alone was enough to make the whole thing amazing, lol. I also love how Peter's brtoher (forgot name) came through in the end. When it looked like he was gunna get shot by the cheerleader I was like 'oh man, I can't watch...' but the minute his bro showed up all of us immediately were like 'he's gunna fly him into space!' In the end, I loved both characters for it, and it was a beautiful ending to volume one IMO. Mr. Sauron was [i]totally[/i] god. No way around that one, lol. Any time there's a scene like that in a show -- you know it's gotta be god. And WTF of the century?! Volume 2 looks to be crazy and great! i just hpe it doesn't end up like ninja turtles 3 -- that was the first thing that came to mind when Hiro appeared there XD.[/spoiler][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Damn, you guys are good at guessing the punishments >_< I guess I gave a bit of a big hint. Honestly, I was surprised how fast 2 were broken - I knew some of them were simpler, but most are gunna have to take an extremely rutheless, cold-blooded inhuman rampaging psychopath to be executed by XD for the record, i gave Indiff no directions for the posts. They were 100% her ideas. I've just called 'dibs' on one or two people, and also if it's one of my characters it happens to, it doesn't get run by me beofre hand - that way I'll be surprised too, lol. I get the strongest feeling that all 3 of my characters are going to die by the end of round 1 >_< Darren, I LOVE what you did with Meredith! [strike]She better survive, dammit! >_

[QUOTE=Sandy]I'm sorry, [B]Premonition[/B], I know I'm sounding offensive, but that last post you wrote to the game... it was one of the corniest posts I've ever read. I mean, [I]come on[/I]! A hedgehog alien just [I]happens[/I] to know about his cartoon-lookalike invented in a whole other planet in a whole other time?! And Brittany just [I]happened[/I] to resemble Desmond's long lost sister who died an hour after they first met?! That's just overdoing it. Even in the game like this, there are limits to what's believable and what is outright ridiculous. Sorry, but I had to get this out of my system. And [B]Hellsminion6676[/B], godmodding much?[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed]I actually liked Hell's post. The mage guy seems to be able to move earth or something similar, and doing so straight-up knocks him out, so it's not like he's all-powerful. Godmodding would have to be Deoky Shilos who so-happened to be able to control everyone's minds, be an ultimate fighter, able to freeze time, and the most evil bastard alive. XD As for Prem, I agree, that's really ****ing corny, and also you realize you're not supposed to use the same main character in every post. Your practically putting a target on his forehead, and i'll be pissed if someone dies just cuz you overused them. You're on the edge, Prem. Don't make me push you off. I know none of these guys will wait at the bottom, and I'll laugh as i watch you hit the ground. Oh yeah, and the killing starts now :D EDIT: Because I always overdo it, here?s a list of the characters with their personality. If not for you, this is for me. I can?t keep up with everyone. [B]Sastasha Sandares[/B]: Very kind, rock star, willing to help the others, is used to people throwing themselves on him. [B]Mary Winters[/B]: A confused maid who has a tiny perspective on life. Rather weak - sticks to strong girls like older sisters. [B]Damian Legion[/B]: Quiet but powerful mage - has advanced powers but gets KO?ed easily. [B]Delilah Rousseau[/B]: A show girl - very calm and calculative. Beautiful singing voice. [B]Lucia Travera[/B]: A strong female with heavy beliefs. Understands the human mind well. [B]Marcus Fenix[/B]: Steroid-induced muscle-man who is also a soldier. Takes things seriously and doesn?t enjoy ********. [B]Claire Montoya[/B]: A grade-A ***** and rich would-be princess. Thinks she owns the universe. [B]Katar Dakit[/B]: A chauvinist bastard with bad intents. [B]Meredith Taylor[/B]: Doesn?t interact with others at all, just observes them and lives out sick mental fantasies about them. [B]Moatilliata Graden[/B]: A cool, calculating killer who thinks before he acts. Apparently fairly powerful. [B]Desmond Sykes[/B]: Just your average New York guy trying to get along with life. Cares deeply about his sister and is easily attached to others. [B]Nadia Dylenda[/B]: A druid with mild capabilities. Willing to put herself in danger for others. [B]Marik Jeffers[/B]: He?s a photographer and that?s about all we know. Could be a tortured artist. [B]Brittany Cossentine[/B]: A brash but sentimental individual who practices strong Catholicism. [B]Kayrel Malone[/B]: Has multiple personalities. His regular self is a cold and unfeeling killer wiling to murder anyone. When he gets a certain way, it?s like he?s watching things from behind his own eyes and becomes frightened and wary. [B]Oromis Tu?Wail[/B]: A strong, intelligent survivalist. Knows exactly what he?s doing and thinks on his feet. [B]Julian Marx[/B]: your average college guy. He isn?t a bad person - he wants to help, but he gets frightened and has little hope. [B]Lillathica[/B]: A vampire with a level-head and a straightforward mindset. Not the type to be offended or defensive. [B]Eliana Cedes[/B]: An exotic dancer who?s been around the block a few times. [B]Uriel Blaine[/B]: A scientist with a genius intellect. Hates kids and has a general curiosity about him. [B]Delita Lytle[/B]: A seemingly good person and a spy with amazing hearing. [B]Alcuin no Prideux[/B]: A dog-racing champion with a realist point-of-view. Is suffering from a hangover and very confused. [B]Dafine Hecata[/B]: Has a stern and focused personality and interested in getting the group out of here. [B]Etamet[/B]: A warrior with stern skill and concentrated thoughts. Doesn?t take kindly to bad people. [B]Penny[/B]: An annoying know-it-all brat who asks too many questions. She isn?t even slightly mature. [B]Serena Scarlatti[/B]: A computer hacker who clings to the outskirts of the group, following along the more concentrated members.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange] :animesmil I love them both!!! I had thought no one would answer and ended up making that kamina banner, but looks like ya'll came through just afterword, lol. Jeremiah, sorry, but since your's doesn't look like more that a cropping, I'm gunna use Jiggly's totally badass photoshop masterpiece![/COLOR]

[quote name='2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkRed'][When a character is imprisoned, they will go into a sort of solitary confinement. There will be a set, real-time amount of time in which they will remain imprisoned.[/COLOR][/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed]As stated in the very first post. I would make it game time, but then there's no fair way to judge how long they would be there. I thought it would work better, since all weekend there was a constant flood of posts, but it hadn't occured to me how much school would slow it down, lol. I fully intend to keep it real time , cuz that's what the 'CCC's time' means. I meant for it to be that the CCC operates on our time and the game's time progression is determined by the posters. I shold've thought of how that would be confusing before allowing the post, but I figured maybe Brittany just didn't realize that her time and the other time were different things. The sentence is changed to 56 hours -- 11 game hours :P Indiff is editing right now.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Rachmaninoff]You mean this part?Since Davis Henderson was indifference's character in the Maze and he was the sole survivor? I'm in agreement with SunfallE, any character that indifference gets a hold of is completely screwed. LOL Still... it was a funny 'WTF' moment when I realized that she had posted... That's for sure, especially since she didn't sign up so I never expected her to sail in there with a '[I]Violation Detected[/I]' post and put Brittany in that hopeless situation. *thinks about it* Yup, Brittany's screwed.[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed]That's all up to you - Indifference is only in here for 1 post when a violation happens. brittany's fate is up to you, and besides, it's already been almost 12 hours. I think I'll go for longer sentences in the future >_

[quote name='BKstyles][FONT=Tahoma]I too was wondering what was going on upon seeing Indif's post, but it seems the CCC has a representative now. Poor Brittany too, I don't think the good little catholic [strike]school[/strike'] girl likes pain and torture :p.[/FONT][/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed]*points to edited post on last page* did yall miss the explanation?[/COLOR]

[quote name='Darren']Just who exactly is the person with pale skin and black hair? And what about Nadia Dylenda??? I'm just trying to be clear, because I'm too busy right now to make a post introducing everyone who I think should be...[/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed]Pale skin and dark hair is that one guy in group one with the metal-looking things on his head and the shmexy smile. I can't keep up with all the weird names you people came up with (though mine are equally, XD). And go ahead and introduce her too, I forgot about her entirely >_< [CENTER][U][I]Central Control Center[/I][/U][/CENTER] [B]The Panopticon[/B] is powered, manned, and operated by two super-entities. The CCC is made up of these two entities - both of which have computer-like brains and have been programmed to preserve humanity?s perfection. The two stand side by side on a layer of existence parallel to that of our own realm. From their space, they can manipulate the world that we live in. The best of humanity can be seen in a human?s conquest over trials. Humans are very distracted creatures, but when in danger their mind achieves it?s full potential. Under the correct circumstances, they reach their full strength and mental power. In an attempt to perpetualize the memory of humanity in it?s most powerful, the Panopticon was created. Not only does it keep it?s contestants in peek form, but it is intolerant toward things that humans created themselves with the only effect of causing them harm without real benefit. The entities themselves are mindless and perform these actions as directed eternally. The first of the entities is known as the [B]Inertiatic ESP[/B]. It was the original Panopticon gm, but simultaneous to it?s creation it found itself to be incomplete, deciding that it would need a copy so itself so that it could run checks and balances on it?s actions. It created [B]Cicatriz ESP[/B], a second entity that shared all the knowledge of Inertiatic, only it was crafted from the soul of the original winner of the maze, [B]Davis Henderson[/B].[/COLOR]

[quote name='Rachmaninoff']I thought you said everyone had six days? :p Sounds like your more impatient for the killing to begin that we are. lol [/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed]Only because everyone else has posted and he/she is taking forever!!! But anyway, I like how things are going, and other than the one guy with pale skin and the black hair, everyone is considered introduced now. If you want to introduce him, go ahead, I don't have time. In any event... :D get ready... there :devil: imprisonment! Explaination as to why it was who it was that made the post after school! I can [i]smell[/i] your surprise, lol![/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]>_< forget the list. I'm getting up at 5:30 AM tommorrow. I will read whatver posts you guys have done, and any characters I have not dee,ed introduced, I will introduce. No more confusion - before i got to school tommorrow everyone will be fair game, and Hell's better get the HEL IN HERE! *has an ulcer*[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=BKstyles][FONT=Tahoma]The introduction was for Delita since Uriel was already introduced in a previous post. I didn't mention Eloris in reference to my post either, it was in reference to Eloris being explained in another post. Also it wouldn't make much sense for a character to be the subject of someone's post as a main characters if they have been revealed in a previous post even if they weren't the main focus. Once someone's origin and occupation is revealed they should be considered introduced since it would be redundant to reiterate these facts in another post in order to label it as "officially introduced". There would then have to be at least 30 posts to introduce each character if it were one per. If that was the intent then i apologize, but i figured it would be quite tedious to formally introduce only one character each post when interaction could be heightened given the possibility of more than one character being the focus of a post. [/FONT][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed]Yeah, that was basically my train of thought when i used the 4 BK suggested. After all, it makes more sense that way, and I damn sure don't want to listen to all that rehashing. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Oh, let's see... well, there's all sorts of choices depending on what show this is. If i'm the director, but the network is forcing me to do something really cliche, it would most definitelly involve undead, and so the song would be [B]I Walked With A Zombie[/B] by [B]Wednesday 13.[/B] If I am given complete creating control, then each episode will have a different opening song. Each of the songs would pertain to the plot of one of the episodes, but none would be put with the episode they go with. Assuming that I have to used liscence songs, and that there are 13 episodes of my show, there would be an opening for each of these songs. "[B]Battlesong [/B] - [B]Ensiferum[/B]," "[B]I Walked With A Zombie [/B] - [B]Wednesday 13[/B]," "[B]Kill All The White People [/B] - [B]Type O Negative[/B]," "[B]Bottom [/B] - [B]Tool[/B]," "[B]The Beginning and the End [/B] - [B]Isis[/B]," "[B]Bohemian Rhapsody [/B] - [B]Queen[/B]," "[B]Institutionalized [/B] - [B]Suicidal Tendancies[/B]," "[B]Blood And Thunder [/B] - [B]Mastodon[/B]," "[B]Remember Tommorrow [/B] - [B]Opeth[/B]," "[B]As I Am [/B] - [B]Dream Theater[/B]," "[B]The Widow [/B] - [B]The Mars Volta[/B]," "[B]Blood Red Summer [/B] - [B]Coheed and Cambria[/B]," and a song that I would specially write for the last episode. If it's a biographical story of my real life, it would have to be [B]In My Time of Need [/B] by [B]Opeth[/B]. *will edit in links to all*[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][B][U]INTRODUCED[/U][/B] Moatillata Graden Katar Dakit Desmond Sykes Lucia Travera Alcuin no Prideaux Elaina Cedes Claire Montoya Uriel Blaire Kayrel Malone Mary Winters Angela Godspeed Meredith Taylor Delita Lytle Sastasha Sandares Marius Stratums Marcus Fenix Eloris Renten Prem, I already answered that.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]the only local band i really know of is [B]The Minus Men.[/B] They're a goth outfit with long, dark songs in the vein of Bauhaus -- only with like 15 minute songs. They're style is interesting and cool, though it's not like it's anything special. I don't think their music could ever some close to being deemed sales-friendly, lol. Recently they apparently started playing acoustic versions of their songs too, which are somewhat better. My mom know about all the local metal bands -- she' got every last one of them as friends on her myspace and she jumps out to concerts all the time.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange] :animesmil :animesmil :animesmil I ate breakfast (watermelon) AND lunch today, despite it being Sunday! Excitement! both my parents were home, and we wanted to do something, but everyone was bored and din't know what to do. I wanted to go to Planet Music and buy crap, but my mum was bein a bum. Them she was hungry so she cooked waffle fries, and since there were waffle fries, everine made accompanying sandwhiches (mine was technically a sub!). The moment the meal was over, everyone was on their feet, moving about, and we were all out the door in ten minutes! That lunch bought me volume one of the Genshiken manga, volume 5 of Megaokyo, and the Ergo Proxy special edition with artbox! My first purches in months! This weekend kicks a whole new scale of ***, and I have lunch to thank![/COLOR]

[QUOTE=RiflesAtRecess][font=arial][size=1]Thanks, Jake. I was going to apologize for not really knowing anything about metal (seeing as the only style of metal I really like is Sludge), but you pretty much got the idea. All I was trying to demonstrate was that AFI was basically changing their sound (which I thought was really good) into something that at least sounds like whatever their target audience is currently into, which are bands like Green Day, MCR, and Cradle. Thanks again, Jake, for putting it in better words than I could have. I'm upset that you, DB, hold this point of view so strongly when you also say that the genre doesn't matter to you basically. Obviously, no amount of common sense will fix this (and I believe I tried in the past and you were a prick then, too). The point is, there is no art that can be defined as "bad," there's something out there for everyone. And if being an elitist means that I go out of my way to look for bands that I like that don't get MTV or radio play, deeply care about the music I like, and will continue to like it no matter what some little **** on the internet thinks, then yes, I'm an elitist.[/font][/size][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]nonono, 'elitist' refers to someone who is a fan of something and refuses to hear misconceptions about it. For instance, if someone told you that you didn't watch enough anime classics, if someone did what i did in that 'taste in manga' thread, or if someone's being overly picjy about genres titles, lol. you, me, and Jake could all easily be considered elitists. Now, while i am a natural leitist, I also recognize how useless it is to be one - you aren't going to chnge popular opinion, and everything you say comes off as condesceding (which is actually why I wrote such a pissy reply in the first place.) I don't want to derail this thread, too though, so I'm shutting up. Also, I'm adding Bad Acid Trip to one of those minor lists.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]EVERYONE - please ignore prem's latest post anbout desmond liking Brittany. Prem, erase that abomination and try again - that's your first warning, an dI only play 2 strikes. EDIT: Alright, it's been deleted and replaced. Cause more confusion, though, and I think you'll be getting a visit from the CCC![/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Beautiful lists, Darren! I was going to do it later, but your list is far more comprehensive! I'm impressed! i hope you won't simply all use your death cards one after another, but I guess it won't be too much of a problem since we're right near the beginning, and it's not like every single little bastard needs to be important, lol. I'd like it if we continue posting while waiting for the others, though. After all, if we have most of the characters introduced by the time the killing starts, we'll be able to tear through whoever we want - 'tis why I've been trying to get a lot of posts in :animestun in any event, if wither of them doesn't post by the deadline, all their guys will be fried, so i guess they beter hurry up. I'm impressed how almost all of you jumped right on it :animesmil This game is going to be both long [i]and[/i] fast-moving then.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][CENTER][U]Group One[/U][/CENTER] Meredith Taylor was already full of disdain for her group. She never liked getting involved with anything involving people she didn?t like, and she immediately hated half of this group. Her biggest beef already had to be with Katar, the ugly bastard who was already harassing felloe group members. If he became a problem, she decided it would be best to off him immediately. In her mind there were no qualms about dropping dead weight, regardless of species. Then there was that other uppity bitch, Claire. The thought of grinding the bitch?s face under her heal made Meredith smile. She almost giggled at the squishing noise her brain matter would make. There was also the case of the flamboyant man standing aside in sunglasses, positively basking in self-importance. She could already tell that he was probably some kind of musician who was far too big for his britches. Another girl was dressed like a total slut. Meredith wondered what king of bugs were crawling around inside of her vagina -- how many abortions she?s had to suffer. The most peculiar character was a grey-skinned shady fellow with beautiful black hair casting shadows over his face. The man had a powerful presence that Meredith found attractive. He, too, was standing silent and observing. Meredith wondered - rather hoped he was as sick as she was.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Grah! for some reason, I can't copy and paste things from my blog, even when trying to edit it. i just typed a maniacally huge entry on my first impression of this show, but I can't repost it here. If you want to see me thoughts on ep. 1, just follow the link to my blog in my sig.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]My world is a world of afterthoughts and late realizations that ignore the here and now and have no sight of the future. It is also a world of forgetting the past and striving to find peace in the moment. This could be described as a very turbulent, raging sea, and I'm n00b poseidon. Yes, almost a year ago is when my world fell apart, and I think i can safely say that, since at the time that's how I kept describing it. the proof is in the poems, lol. Remembering what happened is damn near impossible. for some reason, most of 2006 (well, really from about September 2005 to October 2006) is an emotional blur to me. I can remembere what happened, but i can't remember anything at the same time - like I've been blocking it out or something. I can only remember the key events from the time as well as a lot of visions of lying in my bed crying myself to sleep. Melodramatic, i know, but i've always been a drama queen. In any event, it all revolved around a netship and me being hopeless. It took so many forms... between October 05 and February 06 was a really ****** up for me, and that's all I want to say about it. I'm sure at least someone here can attest to how ****** up I was, and if not, thank god they can't. Then from like April 06 to June 06 was a time that i was greatly in love with this girl over the internet. My whole brain was a big freaking mess, and I was so full of ****, thinking i knew all this stuff that I didn't even understand. I was reading all these religious books and **** and started babbling on about existential crap all the damn time. It was around then that I just started, like, hating everything. Like I was at the point where there was absolutely nothing i wanted more than death. ...except her. i was using her I guess as an excuse to go on living. I don't even begin to comprehend why I was so in love, but she was all I ever thought about, and it was really freaking weird. i remember that i kept thinking I had multiple personalities and even had rather lengthy conversations with myself a couple of times. What that means i don't know, and I really hate thinking about it. Eventually it broke off when she moved to Japan. Her life was apparently a hell of a lot worse than my own, so i think both of us were just two canisters of crazy going insane on each other, lol. In any event, there was some point afterward where i totally freaking broke down. I just starting getting on about crazy **** and was obsessed with love. All I ever did was try to fall in love with people and constantly write love stories and **** (you can see one here on OB - most are positively soaked in sex). I started, like, signing up for sites like Gaia and just profusely trying to fall in love - worse yet I had a female character too -- I honestly scare myself totally when I think about it, but those were some dark *** times. all that finally ended the first week of October, and I'll never forget how it was. There was one week where I was 100% level-headed. I didn't have any thoughts about anything strange whatsoever - I even specifically remember that I played video games non-stop that whole week. Then all of a sudden, the next week, it felt like the entire experience was miles behind me, and i ended up basically with what I just told you about. I mean, i remember a few more details, but nothing significant as to how things got that way. That's why I dumped the name 'Tical' entirely. I just -- pop - erased myself from that title. Mind you, Tical is a name i've been using since i was 8 years old, but the time that i was 'crazy' (as I like to think of it) I referred to myself as Tical and believed that Conrad was a former presonality which no longer held control over by body, but only served to perform basic functions of life. So yeah, I don't ever want to ****ing be called Tical again. as for how I dealt with it, i didn't deal with it at all - i just suddenly went from crying my eyes out nightly to bathing myself in complete apathy and aking a breather. Mind you, i haven't stopped being depressed, though now I found out I suffer from manic-depression which literally explains everything. I still have a very negative outlook on life and all -- but i know for a fact i am [i]nothing[/i] like when my world 'fell apart'. Also, @James: I can't even fathom what that would be like. I love my brother way too much to have to deal with that. If my brother ever died, I think there'd be a soon-after cluster suicide >_

[QUOTE=Allamorph][FONT=Arial]Well, we could pretend he's schizoid. That's always fun. Let's see. . .a bipolar fifteen-year-old elvish assassin who's having gender clarification issues. It's almost like Saya from Blood+, but with random bouts of testosterone. Yee-haw.[/FONT][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkRed]Yes! That is what we shall go with! he has MPD and is crazy ****** up. Sometimes he's a wuss, but when he gets in the mood, he's an emotionless psychopathical killing machine. This would also explain why he can't figure out why he's so scared. Now someone just needs to make him gay and he'll be the most interesting character ever lol. (and naturally, we'll end up with one half of his personality [spoiler]sexually assaulting[/spoiler] the other, lol) cut, print, that's a wrap. Beautiful idea, Allamorph.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=RiflesAtRecess][font=arial][size=1]Haha, I was laughing until I read down to this. It's clear to me that you have absolutely no idea what emo is. AFI was a punk band until they ruined their sound by becoming something of an alternative rock band with black metal vocals thrown in to cash on the Cradle of Filth obsession that everyone got into several years too late. MCR was never even related to Emo, ever. Allow me to Jake-off for a minute. :) Emo/screamo/emocore/whatever is all synonymous. The purest form of the genre died along with Moss Icon in the early 90's. This pure form of emo was strongly related to hardcore punk (such as Minor Threat, Black Flag, and Bad Brains). What separated emo from hardcore was that it actually changed rhythms up and added elements like spoken word and sent messages that were about more than angry subjects. Then, a reviewer dug up the dead Emo term to describe bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate, The Get-Up Kids, Dashboard Confessional, etc. just because they had emotional lyrics, regardless of the actual style of the music. It basically just regressed from there. Meanwhile, there is still a underground Emo movement, which has nothing to do with what you think the genre is. The suicidal, make-up wearing, tight-pants kids are not "emo" in this sense of the term, and are following the same image that these bands who stole the genre portray. Go look up the band, Pageninetynine. Funeral Diner, Phoenix Bodies, and Majority Rule are also good examples of modern emo. If you don't like it, that's cool. But on the real, don't insult me by bringing up AFI and MCR in reference/defense of my music tastes. :)[/font][/size][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Well, seeing as we're both obviously very much a couple of elitists, there is no way around calling this a battle between two people who don't understand each other's music. You see, the most widely accepted use of emo is on bands such as My Chem, the Used, and their kin. Wether this term is correct is one of my business - in fact, i'm of the belief that if the word 'emo' is most commonly used to describe those bands, and in a way has been officialized toward them, then that's how they should be concerned. It's no different than how 'gay' became synonymous with homosexuality - it just did. When you think about how most of the people who [i]listen[/i] to those bands call it emo, it starts to take on that meaning. It's not right, but that's how i'm looking at it. After all, as Jake explained, you obviously don't understand black metal in the slightest.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]>_< Damn! Me and Allamorph same time post! And thank god for his post, too, because we had both introduced the same person, only i had mistakenly called him a girl throughout my entire post! I had to go back and edit the whole thing XD Luckily, though, his is set before mine - but they both give him a completely diffrerent personality (namely because I thought he was a girl >_

Group Two Kayrel Malone was wary of the others in his group as well as slightly apprehensive. This wasn?t something he was in any way familiar with. None of the people around her looked anything like people he had seen, and one of them even looked to be some kind of humanoid animal. He had some experience with alien beings, and had even been assigned on killing them before, but this was beyond strange. The fact that some had maintained their head so well was bewildering. A few of the more normal-looking ones looked to be frightened, but no one was breaking down. He was a trained killer - so why did he feel so frightened? Still, though, the entire group seemed to be fueling it?s own courage. The fact that any were taking it calmly was enough to bring the frightened nature of the group down substantially. Kayrel focused on taking deep breaths -- this was going to be fine? until the first death, he thought. He shivered and tried to maintain his constitution, unaware that he was hugging the back of the group. The corridor was especially extensive -- he wondered why any sort of place would need such a massive, empty corridor. ?Hey,? a voice suddenly came at him. Kayrel maintained a façade of cool, but Julian Marx could easily see how he had nearly jumped through his skin. ?it?s gunna be okay, alright? I think it?s just a joke,? he tried to assure him. Kayrel nodded slightly and pretended like he wasn?t frightened in the slightest, deliberately increasing his pace to meld in with the group. Before long they reached the end of the massive hall and Oromis calmly opened the sliding door at the end. No one wanted to step into the next room immediately. Each of them merely stared inward a moment, wondering how they should go about it. Tired of waiting, Brittany finally stepped through the door and into the mysterious room. Unlike the cube room, this one had a more unique shape. While the ground was flat, the rest was a large round dome - one the size of a two-story house. Brittany?s courage felt a sharp decline when entering the room became being in the room, but after a moment she realized that nothing had happened. She breathed a sigh of relief and moments later the rest of the group began to enter the room one at a time. Curiously, they all walked around the circular room, examining the walls and trying to figure out where it would lead to next. Only Oromis and Moatilliata stayed at the door, sharing a quizzical glance. Both knew that nothing would get accomplished just standing in the doorway, so they proceeded into the room. As they did so, the door suddenly vanished, transforming into more of the wall. Everyone?s eyes immediately shot to where the door had once been. This didn?t look good. From overhead, the sound of a sprinkler suddenly shot out. A wave of liquid began pouring down upon the group. Some looked up, others down. Everyone was aware of what it was. Thick, crimson liquid. Lillathica felt it touch her lips -- a taste she knew well. Moatilliata watched it flow across his blade like he was standing in the shower. A vision he recognized all too well. Julian looked at his hands, his eyes full of shock. They were covered in blood. ?Blood!!! It?s ******* blood!!!!? he began hollering frantically. ?Calm down.? Oromis shot back. ?**** you! It?s ******* blood, man!!!? ?I said shut the **** up!? Oromis yelled. ?Well, ****, what the **** do you want me to do, man?! We?re ******* trapped, there?s ******* BLOOD coming from the ******* CEILING!!!? Oromis walked over and delivered a heavy jab into Julian?s jaw, knocking him to the ground. Julian fell face-first into six inches of accumulated blood, from which he immediately shot up, startled. ?It?s rising?? Kayrel announced, detachedly. The sight of blood was not unknown to him - in fact it was a major part of his job. He had seen people get torn open from the stomach, their organs a mess on the ground as they emptied the contents of their stomach through every orifice. There was no reason for him to be afraid about being covered in blood. He couldn?t understand that the overwhelming circumstances were causing him to panic. ?Everybody remain calm?? Oromis commanded in his deep voice. The blood was climbing quickly. ?We have to find an exit - it?s probably behind one of the walls or in the floor. Try banging on everything and keep your eyes peeled.? The group began banging on the walls and stomping around through the blood to try and hit the floor. This became more and more difficult as the blood continued to rise, the state of panic increasing with every inch. Within 20 minutes, it was up to 8 feet high. Everyone kept themselves gently afloat at the surface. Utter terror was written on the faces of several members of the group, and even Oromis was starting to wonder if there was a way out of here. ?Don?t try to swim too hard; if you get tired you?ll end up drowning.? he explained. ?Oh ******* look around! We?re already going to drown! Screw you, dude, I?m diving down there to see what?s up.? Julian took a deep breath and ducked his head under. ?Wait!? Kayrel called too late. Seconds later Julian emerged again, his eyes closed tightly. ?****!? he griped as he wiped at his eyes, feeling like an idiot for trying to see through blood. Once more he started trying to bang on the walls, but to no avail. After several minutes he succumbed to Oromis? advice. It had been nearly an hour, and for a long time, everyone had been fairly silent, merely trying to keep on the surface. Julian fought to keep himself from breaking down - a general sense of hopelessness was abundant amongst the group. As they neared the ceiling, though, Oromis exhibited an odd calm. He eyeballed the ceiling almost constantly. Kayrel noticed this, and part of him had some hope that he had a plan. The blood was almost 2 feet from the ceiling. The group was in a circle, only 5 feet in diameter due to the dome shape of the room. Suddenly, Oromis shot out of the water and grabbed onto the sprinkler. Everyone turned up in surprise to see the older man grating his jaw as he hung from the mechanism. Oromis jerked his body, attempting to pull the thing straight out of the ceiling. After a moment in realization, Julian turned to the others. ?Let?s help him out, come on!? At these words the group snapped into action and several of them grabbed onto the older man?s legs, pulling as hard as they could. Oromis howled as he pulled with all his might, backed by the strength of the group. Finally, there was a sliding noise. The base of the metal device had slid from it?s place - it had come out of it?s hole! The only thing holding it up was a metal cord that led up through the hole. Seeing this opportunity, Moatilliata quickly propped himself up using Julian?s shoulder and climbed onto Oromis? back. Using one quick slice of his blade claw, he cut the cord. Oromis fell from the ceiling, knocking back the people who were pulling on him. The shower of blood had stopped only a foot from the ceiling, and there was a small hole that seemed to be their only way out. They were all swimming so close that they were touching. Immediately Oromis punched the place where the hole was as hard as he could, and began doing so repeatedly. After 3 punches, the area around the hole cracked and began to crumble down, a piece or two toppling onto one of the blood-soaked contestants. Once the cracks had formed, Oromis pulled at the edged of the hole, knocking the pieces downward as the hole expanded. When the hole was wide enough, he climbed out, followed quickly by the rest of the group. Each of them stood or sat around the hole, gasping for breath. A mix of triumphant shock and surprised hope was evident in their minds. Leaving the stagnant pool of blood behind, they continued into the new corridor.
