Alexis listened to the others trying to think about what she could add in that would be useful information to the newcomers. After all... knowledge was very important. Knowledge meant survival. Survival was something these new guys would have to get used to quick if they weren't already. She looked at the new Acolytes and then to Lenny and back at the new Acolytes again. "There isn't much for me to add since the others have covered most of it. As Lenny said, I'm still new to this stuff myself." She pushed herself off of her chair and rolled her shoulders back before clicking them, loosening her joints up a bit. She instinctively felt her back pocket next for the pocket knife that Adam had given her when she first joined up. She knew it was there, and even if it wasn't, she'd still be able to access it at any time regardless. "Right. I know Lenny said he'd cover the Demonology stuff, but there is one thing I can bring up now since Luce partially covered it herself. You'll have heard her mention about Demon's possessing people, but before I go into that more... any of you have Tattoos?" she asked them. "Well whether you do or don't - you will." she turned around, which had been the reason why she stood up in the first place. She reached down and pulled her shirt up slightly to reveal the small of her back. Just above her ass in the middle was a small tattoo - it was a star in a circle, a pentagram. This one was different to traditional pentagram style tattoos as it had curves on the edge of the circle, making it look like a sun. It was something she had gotten pretty quickly after she arrived here. "There are these things called a Devil's Trap. Once inside, a Demon can't leave. They're all over the place here and in the cars too. This twisted one however, this tattoo that you see on my back, each of us current Acolytes and Lenny have. It's different to a normal Devil's Trap as it prevents a Demon from entering. In other words, they can't possess you." She lowered her shirt back over the tattoo and turned to face them. "So start thinking about where you are having yours, and don't even think about trying to get out of having one. There are no exceptions. Anyway, I'm sure none of you like the idea of being possessed." Alexis went and sat back at her stool and folded her arms again. She rarely talked this much, but she might as well add one more thing. "The last thing I can say, and it might be odd coming from me due to my lack of experience, but remember... None of this is a game. There are no extra lives or second chances." she said it matter of factly. "It might seem a brutal truth, but there is no way to be gentle about it. Mistakes can mean death. Not just for you, but possibly the rest of us. So take this all seriously and make sure you learn fast." She glanced at Lenny and the other acolytes one last time before finishing with one last thing; "I don't know your pasts just like you don't know mine or the other guy's here. Some of us may have more in common than some others, but we all share something the same with where we came from and that is why we are here. I'm not one for the sappy or emotional stuff so I won't go there 'nor do I expect you to come to me for that 'cause you'll just get nothing if that's what you're seeking. But, either way, Lenny says this makes us family. I may have had issues with this myself, the others here know this too, but Lenny is the head of this family. You listen to him. He's got more experience than every single one of us here and then some. If you want to survive, then you do what he says. It's as simple as that." and at last she finished, fed up of speaking so much. She tossed another glance to Lenny letting him know she was done. Other than the devil trap stuff she had mentioned which was essentially academics, the last stuff she had said had been advice from her own experience as the new girl. Things she had picked up in the last month and it was the best she could give from having experienced both sides of the fence. Again... she might have some major trust issues here even now, but if you were locked in the cage with a hungry lion, you wouldn't argue with the man who had spent his whole life around lions. You'd damn listen to him because he'd be your best chance of survival. The same could be said about the supernatural forces. Lenny was the person you listened to if you didn't want to die. This was something Alexis had definitely picked up from her three 'older siblings' and she indeed saw it now too even if she hadn't wanted to at first. Even though only a month had gone by... Alexis had said it herself. You have to learn and learn fast.
So... I'm true love between two awesome people falling through space who pilot a giant robot that surfs in the sky. Seems legit. And completely awesome.
Hmm... that may be an idea. Well.. I'd likely use a Bushy banner. XD
sunglasses theme*
That's awesome. XD You got an image in mind for the banner? (I was thinking Scar and his sunglasses would be a good option). But if you wanna have...
Agreed. XD Also... was wondering if it might be an idea to add a little thing on the front page which showed who is Cove staff? You could make a...

Liking it a lot. I'll have my updated and sorted reserve list for you soon.
"KING UNDISPUTED! RESPECTED, SALUTED! AND SEEN FOR THE WONDER I AM!"
Agreed. As I said in my edit; My last post was moot essentially. But yeah. XD She'd be able to handle those I'm sure, and I'd also include Alchemist possibly - at least because of her natural mixing abilities from FFX. I also think it'd be amusing to see how she'd handle Thief with the oversized weapons. They'd be more like weird swords to her than the daggers they once were. lol
Just gonna leave this little piece of awesome/adorable here for you all.
That sounds disasterific. XD Although, I'm curious... I didn't think her weapons would be that heavy. I mean, sure she's only eleven, but Rikku was known for being fast since she's a thief type. Her weapons wouldn't be that heavy to carry. Now I could understand an eleven year old Rikku having trouble using them because of the size. They'd probably seem really big to her compared to before. But yeah. I'm not sure about the weight thing. Hope you don't mind me throwing that out there, it's just something I thought about. EDIT: Nevermind... warrior dress-sphere huh? Yeah.. that changes things. Just ignore me. lol My point is completely moot.
I'm just gonna respond with this: And if you happen to be asking to be caught up on the Role-Play itself. There's been less than a page really. So I'm sure that's easy enough to be read too, right? As was said in my above quote... I'd be able to understand if pages had passed by, but since we're still waiting for post templates, not much has happened, so it shouldn't be too hard to read the 'little' that actually has.
Yeah. Cases like this are okay naturally. Not being funny... but is it that hard to read the last page or two of the OOC thread? I can understand people asking about the RP thread if a few pages have passed, but in the OOC; most of the stuff being a few lines long at a time and thus easy to read... I dunno why people are asking if they've missed something when they can probably catch up in under 2 minutes or less. Either way, you've not really missed anything, but yeah. EDIT: switching back to my previous blue... I prefer it, and it's easier to click.
You may say that, but I've seen you spoil a fair few things before and even be warned about it in the past. One example was a short while back where you just spurted out some key story stuff about Bleach. Dark Traitor had just started reading the manga at that time as well. Just remember in future that if you're gonna spoil anything at all, at least use spoiler tags. Please. For everyone's benefit. I'm sure everyone else here (and heck, perhaps even you) knows what it's like to have something spoiled for them and how truly annoying and frustrating it can be. Obviously, this doesn't just go for you, but everyone else too. You just happen to be the person I've seen do it the most. ~ Anyway as I said before, I may consider reserving the rest of the party from Tales of Graces too: Hubert, Richard and Malik. And the main antagonist: Spoiler Lambda
I'd recommend you use spoiler tags or at least warn somehow before you go and spoil key story stuff. After all, we have Tales fans here, and the game wasn't released too long ago. Not many people have played it yet.

I can't see it either. For me... it seems to be when someone has typed in the img tags by hand instead of using the button or just copying and pasting the image directly. :/ Either way, yeah. I don't think it's your browser anyway.
Dude... this happened a long time ago... A long long time ago, and has been mentioned by Zelda often. Considering all her mood swings etc
