[color=ff00cc] [size=1]N64 is probably my favorite console, sooo... ^^;; [b]Mario Party 4[/b] - Er... at least I think it was four. Anyway, it was so fun playing it with friends, though it took quite a while for us to complete. The mini-games were especially fun, and I really liked the game where you had to try and stay on this raft, while all these cannons just flew towards you. ^^;; [b]Mario Kart 64[/b] - Gosh, I loved this game so much! I loved this game since the first day. Racing games have always been fun for me, so I really enjoyed this since it had all the items and different courses. My favorite course was the rainbow course, and Wario's, since I never lost in those. I remember loathing Bowser's Castle, though. I always got squished by those... block-thingies. >>; [b]Pokemon Stadium[/b] - I have to say my favorite part about Pokemon Staduim one and two were the minigames. Since alot of my friends or family had no clue about what the Pokemon's moves were, we just played the minigames, and they loved it. My uncle wins everytime in the scyther-cutting one, since he always makes us laugh right before they fall. - .-;; I think the multi-player games were alot better on the N64. The controllers were alot more comfortable to me, too. [/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]I didn't watch the show, but I saw 'Miss Universe' on the front cover of a newspaper. ^_^ She's very pretty. I really love the white gown with the beads. ^^;[/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]Well sure, you should be able to post your opinion, but it's not as simple as putting down everything that comes to mind. I mean, when you make your point, you should still be somewhat careful about whether or not people may take offense to it. Even if it is a joke, it can still offend people, and some people might not even see it as a joke. Especially when it deals with personal issues. You never know. Though, I don't like all the references to newbies in this thread. Quite a few members here have a very high post count, but their posts are very hard to understand. I've seen quite a few newbies around the boards with great post quality, even better than some of the older members here. I really don't think physical age matters when it comes to maturity, and it gets really annoying when people make reference to that. [/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]That's very neat. ^_^ I like how the font color suits the avis really well, though the text is a little hard to read... But you forgot one of the most important people!! >.>; [spoiler]Adam! :p[/spoiler][/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1][b]What genre of music do you listen to?[/b] Umm... any kind of rock, I guess. ^_^; [b]What are your favorite bands?[/b] Kittie, Evanescence, Hoobastank, and... Tori Amos? [b]Why do you like them?[/b] Kittie has a great beat, Evanescence has great vocals, Hoobastank has great music, and Tori Amos's songs get stuck in my head. >>;; It's fun singing Kittie's songs, too. I love singing 'Charlotte'.[/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]I think they're doing a fine job. Besides, I've been to forums where they're less strict than this, even a little bit, and it's been totally hectic. xx; And so far, I haven't seen any unfair bannings, soo... yeah.[/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]Wow! That's sooo much better than my first attempt. >>;; I love the cleanliness of the whole banner. It's simple and kewl at the same time. ^_^ 9/10.[/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]ooo.. nifty... o.o I love the water effects. It kinda sets your mind into this dark, depressed flavor. 9/10.[/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]Wow. I just saw this movie last night, and I thought it was awesome! My dad and I were both really in the mood for a good action movie, and this movie was perfect. It kept you guessing what would happen next, and the heists were so creative. 'The Italian Job' was alot better than what I was expecting, and the stunts are amazing. ^^ I highly recommend this movie. What do you think about this movie?[/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1][b]Name:[/b] Terrance (Demi) Kittana [b]Callsign:[/b] Silhouette [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Build/Appearance:[/b] Tall, slender, and delicate. In appearance, she seems very weak and fragile. Terrance has long dark-brown hair that travels down to her waist, and chestnut eyes that shift to hazel when angry. [b]Clothes:[/b] (see pic, only shirt isn't as baggy) [b]Abilities:[/b] Terrance has the ability to see through solid objects, and also become invisible. When she disappears, it is almost impossible to track her. Since she is weak physically, gangs usually protect her, and use her for the simple task of stealing. Also, when her eyes change to a clear hazel, she bursts into a state of rage, sending tremendous psychic waves at her opponent. Once her rage ends, she usually faints, or becomes very weak. [b]Biography:[/b] When Terrance was seven years old, she had moved to San Francisco, from a small town in Montana. During her first week at school, she was very cautious about what she said or did, to set a good impression. One day, while performing in a play, she tripped and fell on center stage. Everyone around her seemed to be laughing. All she wanted to do was disappear. And her wish was granted. She really had become invisible. Gasps and murmurs went about the audience, as well as her classmates. Quickly, she hurried off stage, and curled up in a corner back in her classroom. When she calmed down, Terrance became visible again. A few minutes later, a man appeared at the door of her classroom. Reluctantly, she opened it. The young man explained to her that she was more advanced than her other classmates, and all she had to do was learn to control her powers. Terrance agreed, and followed the man. From there, her memories are unclear. Now, she stays at Professor Xavier's Institude for Gifted Youngsters, while still trying her best to hide her powers in public. [/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]I don't understand why people are so determined to live forever. oo; You live, and you die. While you're alive, you should just try to enjoy it, and experience as much as you can. Besides, if you gain immortality, you'll stay alive while all of your friends age and die. Also, you'll have to hold onto all those sad memories of the world...etc, etc. I wouldn't want it whether it worked or not. [spoiler]That guy has the same name as the guy who likes me at school. oo;;;[/spoiler] [/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1][b]When was the happiest moment of your life?[/b] I've had alot of happy moments. It's quite hard to pick one, actually. ^^;; If I had to choose, I guess it would be either today or yesterday. It might be because I haven't laughed in so long, though... [b]When was the most pressured moment?[/b] When I got a B- for math. My dad kept yelling at me, when Ms. Cockburn was the one who didn't enter my semester test. --;; He kept telling me I had to keep up the tradition of high grades in our family...blah blah... [b]When was the saddest?[/b] Well, when my parents divorced, I guess. But even more, I get really, really depressed when my friends start talking about suicide.[/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]Doesn't the fact that you are a minority differ depending on where you are? oo;; ...anywho. >>; I'm just plain old 100% Korean. Nothing too special about it.

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]Whoo! Another KOF fan! ^ .^ *high fives* That's really great how you cut him out. I can never do that with my KOF pics. >>; It's great!

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]Well, there is a small town in California up for sale. :D (It's on Ebay.) ---- I'm not sure what it would be called, actually... oo;[/color] [/size]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]OOC: Uh-oh. oo; -------[/color] [/size] [color=purple] [size=2] [center]-Cyrine-[/center] [/size] [size=1]Elijah extended his arms. A veil of light caressed gently against his fingertips, a soft breeze brushing through his hair. In front of his eyes, he could see the face of a beautiful maiden, smiling and singing softly. Only her face was visible, for he was lying down, and lines of veils lapped at his sides. The vanilla light softened, as the maiden?s face pulled back and vanished. She was gone. He opened his eyes. It wasn?t the first time he had dreamed of this woman. How he wished to meet her. Somehow, he knew she was alive, for his dreams never lied. Shortly, Elijah recovered his senses. The lush, matted grass was damp with dew, and the trees above him swayed silently. He was at the border of the forest of Ceria. The fatigue and toil from the previous night was finally catching up with him. It was worth it, however. If he had not run, he would?ve been forced to wed the next day. To a princess cold with hate and anger, cloaked with a radiant smile. He did not love her, however, and he would not marry her. Taken as a crime, he had been chased out of the kingdom of Isguil, and put in exile by her father, the king. Rolling over to his side, he rose from the organic carpet, and limped over to a nearby stump. Perhaps a log wasn?t the best choice of accommodation for a night. His right knee was in pain, and his right elbow still ached from falling off the horse a week before. No worries. All the pain would be over soon, for his home was rather close. A day?s walk or two, not that time mattered, of course. He had all the time in the world. A month was still left until he would be crowned king, and his father wished him all the time he needed to prepare himself. Fixing his coat, Elijah rose, and began to head over towards the meadow. Suddenly, he felt his toe knock against the stump. Next thing he knew, he was lying on the ground, a few inches from a glowing stump. ?A glowing stump? Something wasn?t right. Elijah tapped the stump with his knuckles, and leaned against it. Immediately, a puff of smoke rose from the stump, creating a thundering cloud above him. [i]Elijah?[/i] Elijah froze, bewildered. ??Yes?? The cloud formed into the shape of a woman, folding one hand over the other. Her pupil-less eyes gazed down towards him as he gazed back in shock. She extended her hand, and helped him up, lips curving into a gentle smile. ?Do not be afraid, young prince.? She spoke, her voice echoing through the trees. ?I am the oracle. Ask me one question, and one question is all you may ask.? Elijah stammered, and began murmuring to himself. One question. What would be a worthy question for the oracle to answer? Without much hesitation, he asked, ?Where can I find the woman I see in my dreams?? The oracle was delighted ?or at least seemed to be. She lifted her palms, as a small board of clouds formed at her side. As the oracle waved her hand above it, the board showed an image ?an image of a large city, busy with chariots and warriors. ?The woman you seek lives in the city-state of Eithenoir. She has dreamed of you as well. Go out and seek her, young prince, for she is waiting.? Instantly, the oracle vanished. In his palm, he found a scroll, gilded with gold along the handles. Biting his lip with anxiety, his heart leaped. For inside, he knew well what would be inside. Elijah opened it, and found a sheet of blank paper. Groaning with discontent, he threw down the scroll, and sat down by the stump. The paper glittered, and markings began to appear where sunlight reached it. Being the clever man he was, he quickly took the paper and made his way into a clearing. There, the light fully shone on the scroll, as a vivid map could now be seen. Elijah grinned, and studied the map carefully. A crimson dot showed where he was, followed by an inky-blue dotted line, leading up to a green dot in what seemed to be, mountains. A small notch opened at the top of the scroll, with a small sphere of sapphire inside. After absorbing the sunlight it needed, the gem unleashed a line of light, circling the labyrinth of trees and moving its way up towards the mountains. Assuming that was the path the oracle wanted him to take, Elijah followed the light. Each time the sun set along his trek, he had to stop and rest, for the light would dim shortly, and he was afraid he might lose his way to the city. One night, as he was setting camp, a cloaked figure walked his way around the mountain path, face hidden in the dark. The figure sat down, across from Elijah. Despite the flickers of the campfire, the stranger?s face still could not be seen. Elijah drew along the dirt, using a twig he had found earlier. ?It?s a rough walk up ahead.? Elijah paused. [i]That voice?[/i] The stranger removed her cloak, and set it aside. Elijah didn?t dare look up. ?Where are you going?? The woman asked. ?Eithenoir.? The woman chuckled, and ran her finger across the dirt. ?I?m running away from that city. What a coincidence.? ?Why are you running?? The woman silenced for a moment. ?My father? He has arranged for me to marry someone I don?t love. And I know the man he wants me to marry doesn?t love me.? She replied. Elijah?s eyes widened. ?That? is the same reason I ran away.? The woman?s head lifted in shock. The coincidences were too strange. Both stood up, and studied one another. It was too dark to see each others? faces, yet the gleam in their eyes could be seen. ?Who are you?? The woman asked, eyes narrowing in suspicion. ?I am the prince of Rithenor, Elijah, son of Demethor.? Elijah replied. ?And you are?? ?Cyrine, lady of Eithenoir. Daughter of Thesius.? Cyrine replied, taking a step towards the fire. The two?s eyes fixed on one another, chins held up high above the flames. Suddenly, Cyrine receded, eyes turning away from his. Then, her eyes lingered back towards Elijah?s, as she stared at him speechlessly. ?You? you are?? Cyrine stuttered. Cyrine stepped closer to Elijah, and placed her hand below his chin. Then, she stroked his cheek, and gazed into his eyes. ?It?s you? You?re the man from my dreams?? Cyrine spoke, her silver-blue eyes wide with shock. Elijah?s eyes lay bedazzled in her eyes. It was her? the woman from his dreams. ?Perhaps even the oracle cannot see all ends.? Elijah whispered to himself. ?I have dreamed of you as well.? ?Then it is fate.? Cyrine whispered, holding him close. Her eyes closed slowly, as his lips caressed hers. It was like a dream. The ground below seemed to disappear, as well as the sky above them. All ends of the earth seemed to vanish. It was silent, and all that could be heard was the flickering of flames. Cyrine kissed her lover once more, and then opened her eyes. In the distance, she could hear quiet clogging of horses. She pulled away, and gasped. ?What? What is it?? Elijah asked, turning his head in her direction. ?He?s coming!? Cyrine exclaimed, pulling away. ?Who?? An ear-splitting sound of a horn thundered throughout the cliffs. ?Dethinor. T-The man I must marry.? Cyrine exclaimed in a whisper, panicking. ?Hurry! You must leave, you must leave before he finds you!? ?No, I will not leave you to marry him against your will.? Elijah spoke, reaching for his blade. ?Just leave. We will meet again. In my city.? She wept hastily. Cyrine embraced him again, as he departed reluctantly into the bushes. She turned away from the direction the sound was coming from, and waited. Soon, a well clad prince and a party of horsemen appeared before her from the eastern trail that led to Eithenoir. ?Ah, Cyrine! How relieved I am to find you unharmed.? Dethinor stated, dismounting his horse. Cyrine did not answer. ?Come, it is time to return to the palace.? He murmured, grasping her wrist and heading over to the horses. From the bushes, Elijah kissed his index finger, and placed his finger between his eyes. Smiling, Cyrine did the same, and waved. ?Goodnight, my dear prince.? She mouthed turning and mounting her horse. Dethinor turned, and glanced back at the bushes. Seeing nothing, he mounted Cyrine?s horse, as they rode forth to Eithenoir. Immediately, Elijah took her cloak, and wrapped it around himself. Then, he followed the stallions towards the city-state. About three hours later, Dethinor raised his palm, and signaled the other riders to halt. Elijah, not knowing what the signal had meant, stopped a step late after the others. The last horseman turned to see what was there, but couldn?t see anything in the dark. Feeling a little uncomfortable, the horseman slowly turned forward again biting his lower lip. From behind, Elijah silently leaped on the horse, covering the horseman?s mouth and laying the edge of his sword at the horseman?s neck. The horseman froze, as he felt the flat of cold steel along his neck. Elijah gestured for him to continue moving, and he obeyed. Once the sun began to rise, Elijah dismounted the stallion, and hid behind a corner of the mountain. Then, he waited until the cloak of night to continue his trek. The next morning, he found himself before a vast lake. There was a trail around the lake, but it stretched for miles and miles. Without much hope, he pulled out his scroll to see if there was an alternative direction. As the sun caught the gem at the top of the scroll once more, it reflected, and drew a circle in front of him. Then, a tunnel appeared below, with a rope ladder along the side. Checking to see if no one was watching, he made his way down. It was pitch dark in the tunnel. He couldn?t see his hand an inch away from his face. Following his instincts, he began to step forward. For two days, he walked blindly through the tunnel, until he finally bumped into a wall. Up above, he could see light. It stung his eyes after being in the darkness for such a long time. Slowly, he climbed up the ladder. When he reached the top, he found himself inside a palace. Servants hurried in and out of corridors busily as he made his way through the hall. Finally, on the last door to the left, he found her. Cyrine. She was sitting in a chair in the center of the room, as if waiting for someone. Cyrine?s eyes shot up, as she mouthed the word ?no?. Elijah tilted his head, and didn?t understand. He stepped towards her. Suddenly, two soldiers appeared before him, equipped with dagger-like swords. ?So, you found your way around the lake?? A voice asked from behind the soldiers. He didn?t answer. Dethinor smirked, and stepped in front of the two soldiers. ?Prince Elijah. Please, step this way. There is someone waiting for you in the common room.? Elijah?s eyes narrowed as he followed Dethinor down the spiral stair. Sitting on a sofa was a raven-haired woman, with two soldiers on her side. She was sewing quietly, busy at a strange design of a spider. Hearing the footsteps, her head turned in their direction. ?Lady Persephone. She has traveled far to meet you.? Dethinor hissed in his ear, a light chuckle in his voice. Elijah glared at the woman, as she rose and stepped towards him. ?Dear Elijah. So glad to see you?re safe.? She remarked, lips curving as she held his face in her hands. ?Your father has postponed the wedding. We will marry tomorrow night. If- that is alright, of course.? King Demethor stood beside Persephone, placing a hand on her shoulder. ?My son is greatly looking forward to this wedding.? Demethor replied firmly. Elijah began to speak, only to be silenced by his father. His father left the room. Elijah followed, then was stopped by Persephone. ?Take the prince to his room. He?s suffered much toil.? Persephone chuckled. His eyes lingered over to Cyrine?s. Cryrine?s eyes lingered to his. ?No!? Elijah exclaimed, breaking away from the guard?s grasp. He ran towards Cyrine desperately, and kissed her passionately. Quickly, the guards pulled him away from the princess. Dethinor and Persephone stared in dismay, then turned their noses as not to have noticed. Elijah and Cyrine had exchanged their last and final kiss. In his room, Elijah sat sternly on the cot in deep thought. He didn?t move for hours. Silently, he pondered as what to do. His first attempt had failed, and now that he found his love, he was to wed Persephone in one night. Elijah still could not understand. He did not love Persephone, nor did she love him. It was all about the gold, he knew it. Thoughts of Cyrine taunted his mind, toying with his heart. Just then, a faint image of a woman appeared before him. It was familiar, and he immediately picked up who it was. The faint image slowly grew clearer and clearer, until she finally became solid. ?Oracle?? The woman?s eyes snapped open, as she smirked at the prince elegantly. ?Indeed, it is I.? She spoke majestically. ?So you found your princess?? ?Yes? I did. But now I am to wed Persephone. A woman I do not love.? Elijah replied. ?Hmm? I see. I am sorry, Elijah, but I can?t do anything to help you.? Elijah hung his head. The oracle stroked his wind-blown hair, and smiled softly. ?Here. Take this. It is a gift to you.? She oracle spoke, handing him a golden, rectangular case. Elijah opened the case, and saw a thin, golden pin inside. It was about seven inches long, with a small notch at the end, where you would tie the string. Unlike many other large sewing pins, this one was oddly sharp. ?Why are you giving this to? me?? Elijah questioned, staring strangely at the queer gift. ?It is a gift to you to give to Persephone. If she pricks herself with the needle, she will faint for exactly one night. However, if the needle draws a drop of blood from her, she will vanish forever.? The oracle replied. His hand shook nervously. If he would be able to return to Cyrine, he would do anything. ?Alright. Thank you- again.? ?You?re always welcome, dear prince. I hope we meet again soon.? The oracle smiled, and faded until all that was left was a puff of smoke. Elijah stared at the puff blankly for a few minutes, until he broke out of thought. He shut the case, still observing it carefully. A sinister gleam sparkled from its shell, just as the blood-red velvet inside felt. Griping the case tightly, he placed it in his pocket before making his way down the hall. Cyrine had been weeping for hours. She would not marry him, even if she had to kill herself. Immediately, she began rummaging through the drawers for a knife. Nothing. Even the sword and spear had been taken out of the room?s décor. Obviously, Dethinor wasn?t quite as stupid as she thought. Sighing, she glanced down the hall, and saw Elijah heading towards the common room, where his fiancé was sewing. Feeling a slight brush of jealousy, she denied he was going to see her. As he reached the common room, Persephone was still sewing. Coincidentally, her pin broke. She threw down her design, grunting with frustration. Elijah slid next to the sofa, and gave her case to his fiancé. Persephone grinned, as her eyes widened with delight. When she opened the case, she found the beautiful pin, and picked it up with her fore and thumb finger. Just then, she yanked her hand away, and shook her wrist. After shaking her wrist vigorously, she fainted, breathing peacefully. Once he knew she was asleep, he returned the pin to its case. Hearing distant footsteps, Elijah quickly shoved the case back in his pocket, and hurried back down the hall. The princess leaned against the frame of her bed, watching the hall through her open door. She knew her fiancé would be entering any moment now, bringing her life to an end. Instead, Elijah swept past her door, not even noticing her. She understood he was in a hurry, but for what? At least he seemed happy? Then, a quick gleam caught her eye between the cobblestones. Cyrine crawled over to the hall, and saw a golden case. As she opened it, she saw a golden pin, with a point as sharp as needles. Turning her head, and seeing her prince walking happily towards his chamber, and her fiancé nearing her room from the other end, Cyrine bit her lip. Either way, her life seemed meaningless. And it was going to end. Now. At that moment, Cyrine pulled out the pin, with two hands, and thrust it into her chest. Panting heavily, her eyes closed, as she collapsed to the ground. Instantly, Elijah turned, and saw Cyrine lying on the floor, lifeless. Doubting her death, he rushed over to his love, turning her over, and finding the pin in her heart. Immediately, he checked his pockets. The case was gone. Slowly, the Princess began to fade, just as the oracle did. At that moment, Dethinor and his men arrived. Murmurs and gasps ran through the party of soldiers, as Dethinor fell to his knees across from Elijah. She was dead, and she was fading. Soon, her body was no longer visible, and only the pin remained, still standing upright, tainted with blood. Face paled with terror, and eyes watering with tears, Elijah rose, and slowly walked back to his chamber, petrified. The oracle appeared once more before him, eyes deep with reassurance. Elijah ignored the oracle, and walked towards his window. The breeze whipped the curtains at his sides as the black moat trickled below, and the sky twinkled above. He stood at the edge, emotionlessly gazing at the drop below. ?It?s a long drop.? He stated slowly, as a tear fell from his eye. The prince closed his eyes, and leaned forward. The End.
