Seeing Shiina's health fall into the red Scarlet revealed a speed that remained hidden until now, using it to get to her partner's side before anything bad could happen to her. Kneeling beside the small girl Scarlet looked up to the PK with a blank stare. "I was not planning on winning in the end, being the host and all. But man do I want to fight you, in a real match someday. Until then though...I shall tend to this one." Her expression then changed as she began laughing. "How funny though, thinking I would ever feel embarrassment at your hands. It's already a trivial emotion as it is." Haha. After that those two were declared the winners and another series of boos ensued. It wasn't nice, being the loser to a PK in front all these people. But when she said she planned on losing anyway it was the truth, though it would have been nice if it had been at the hands of another. Especially with her and her familiars still in the green health wise, as surely they could keep fighting as they were. Victory wasn't even an impossibility, even with her partner down. Oh well, hardly important now. Leaving the stage she made way for the next match to begin. Some random players would fight before the final match began, which involved Mya and Masamune vs Star and Masaru.
[ Contact Information ► Mood: Thoughtful ► Subject: 001; Marina ► OOC: N/A ] Either this thing had some truth to it or she was quite the sly one. Card tricks aside, it felt impossible to deny this for any longer. Even if it was all some sort of joke it won his attention. "I-I suppose I have no choice but to consider this more than some well designed trick, a tactical play." Then Marina suggested a meet up, or perhaps research expedition. This proved to be the final piece to get Elliot to go along with whatever she may do or say now for any chance of learning about these new subjects could not be easily brushed aside. And though he dislike having to meet people face-to-face it proved to be a more effective way to study that person than talking to them online, which was such a pity. So a test? "Would you mind if I tag along? For to study them as well would prove useful, an opportunity I should not miss." At the end of his sentence he nodded as if to confirm what he just said. It was hard believing it, going along with this...person out of all the people in the school but convenience is quite the reason to brush aside some distastes, at least for a time.
I keep seeing this as well and it is always male as warrior classes and females as mage classes. Sure it can be cool for personality like you said but it feels so biased it just gets annoying and in the end turns me away from the game. I don't see anything wrong with having a strong female character being able to do those things either, ripped or not. And it's kinda sad it's becoming so common, though I suppose it really isn't anything new. I was just hopeful of moving away from this. For armour and stuff I suppose it can make more sense but in most cases female armour just ends up being revealing which is stupid and unrealistic, though realism is hardly a game's concern I know but gender neutral armour worked just fine in tons of games so it's practically pointless. Just what people want to see though I guess, which is a shame. In any case it is a pain when someone wants to play a class, ie a mage as a male but can only play it as a female or vice versa. It should be for both genders I think so everyone can be comfortable with what they are offered.
Hey, and welcome to the forum. Glad you like it here so far and hopefully it'd remain that way. Anyway, like others have stated you should feel free to ask for help when/if you ever need it because it's a pretty open and friendly community so I'm sure many would be more than willing to lend a helping hand. Enjoy your stay! c:
[ Contact Information ► Mood: Baffled // Displeased ► Subject: 001; Marina ► OOC: N/A ] O-oh was she...finding his reactions amusing? Laughable? Well...she looked like a cartoon, so aha! He would not say anything of this out loud for the time being but it still felt like a victory on his side and thus he was able to happily sit down, after wiping his spot up of course. And for this Marina was given thanks. Though what came after that, that joke or whatever it might have been, was completely lost on Elliot so only a blank stare was given in response. Perhaps he would had figured it but the necessary time to do so was not given before the other had moved on the those cards. What were they? Ah. Tarot cards. All of this was feeling rather silly, though the fact that the same cards kept appearing piqued his interest. Wait - No. No, she had to have been lying to him to set the mood or something. Dishonesty had to be the answer here, for no way something like that could actually happen. Anyway. Casey Heckles. That name... A fellow student. Someone else on the list. Was - Ah! The dreaded moment was upon him now. It was time for, he gulped, physical contact... Even as she cleaned her own hands he did not feel like surrendering his so easily, though was allowed no time and little choice in the matter. Twitch. Twitching the hand she grabbed had much difficulty staying still for the first few seconds though froze soon after. Why did she insist on prolonging this tragedy by showing him how this tasteless fact. Oh but it did not end there. No, of course it did not. For now he must pick some cards. Wonderful! Well, his hand was already tainted so long as it was carefully used this could be dealt with in a neat manner though afterwards the hand sanitizer greeted the person like an old friend who had faded from from everyone's lives for years only to return in a tearful reunion. That and a pair of latex gloves pulled from the black jacket's pocket's and promptly used to cover the pale hands of Elliot. All the while doing this though replies were given in accordance to the email. What a silly thing. Though with each passing moment it became harder to deny it's plausibility... Science could not fail him now, not after these long years of existence. It was the only source of comfort, truth, and stability known. So for it to vanish now would mean life held little meaning at this point. Though, if science no longer proved as life's greatest mysteries did this mean magic would consume all in its place? Dear Hawking, save him from this cruel life. "I grow more wary of this...thing we must play our way through in order to reclaim our original lifespans more each day. First, haha, game? Hundred days to live? Ha! Though after the rain and snow, with the sun still out? Not to mention quake and eclipse... Floods and deaths..." Pausing for a moment he adjusted his mask in thought. "I shall study the ones involved and figure out which piece they are. Are you a queen? Or a knight? Maybe just a pawn. We could all be pawns but how boring would that be?" He paused again, though this time to laugh. "A god passing time with a game. What a waste - if it's real mind you - to do such a thing with said power."
[ Contact Information ► Mood: Thoughtful ► Subject: 001; Marina ► OOC: Less sleep = longer posts?? but also intro post so who knows. ] Every morning Elliot ate breakfast of the healthiest foods he could get his hands on, though today it had been a bit lacking. How awful. Horrid. A simple nightmare. Nothing could be found but simple whole wheat toast. No, how could he ever forget to go shopping for things to digest? Oh yes, it had been that email's fault. At first it was brushed off with laughter but after the series of events that seemed to followed the teen could not bring himself to leave the room other than for class as he racked his brain over the possibilities. How could a prank result in natural catastrophes? It was blasphemous! Simply an act standing to rebel against the laws of physics, something that should never be tampered with. Oh, it was going to get everyone killed. Everyone crushed in earthquakes or drowned in floods or even maimed by the next lunatic to pass through. Though if that meant a few less annoying creatures roaming about Elliot could hardly complain. But pushing that aside he had to get on with his routine for not a moment could be wasted as once gone time could never be restored. So once finished eating a twenty minute hot shower was taken as it was taken at the start of every day at the same time, 9:00am. Once out he felt exposed and disgusted with himself so drying off happened quickly and the putting on clothing even faster. On top of his layers of clothing which included a t-shirt, sweater, and jacket along with thick jeans there was his ever present medical mask covering his face. And with that he was ready for the day. The day...ah, right. He had an appointment. Was he so tired that a feeling of obligation to do things that...woman's way appeared in him? How awful. This called for an extra layer of black nail polish to be applied before his departure, as even though it contradicted nearly everything he done to stay as clean as possible it soothed his mind. Yes. So he was ready now. And being late was not a good thing to do, never a good thing. So why was he walking so slow? Aha. What nerves were these? Oh, this female he had to interact with now always gave him an uncomfortable feeling. Not only did she believe in what he thought to be a sign of insanity she so openly had sexual intercourse with so many people. Just one person touching another was a thought that made bile form in his throat so this...was already getting to be too much. No matter...he would just have to get this over with. It was far too late to turn back after all. So after a deep breath he knocked on the door before him, nearly a hundred percent sure it was the correct one. A moment later a voice called for him to enter. Ah...pity. She was in. Another breath would take place before he finally went inside, examining the room through the lenses of his glasses with curious eyes. It was nothing past what he expected though still lacking in what he thought he would see. This was good though. And she even remembered the disinfectant! A pleasant start. "Good afternoon, M-Marina," he choked behind the mask before checking his watch, "it seems I got here just as it became twelve o'clock so this is good, correct?" The young adult moved to search for the place which he was meant to sit but everywhere screamed of someone else's presence. Filth. But he had to sit, didn't he? That is how he had assumed these things were done. So he shows no signs of the anxiousness he felt swelling up inside and smiled, though it would not be seen. "Pleasant day, pleasant room... Yes, this isn't as bad as I thought it'd be, so far. So we shall sit? Or do your...c-clients normally stand?"
[ LEVEL SEVENTEEN - BGM17 - STATUS: ??? - UPDATE ] Worried about his room mate and anxiously awaiting a reply from Cherno caused an unpleasant evening for Anthony. He could not eat like this so he ended up missing every meal before finally stuffing some chips down his throat. How awful. Muttering to himself as he paced he thought about which rules could be broken. Really, only one caught his interest. For he never had any worry about romance nor did he wish to tell anyone outside of the game. Expect maybe Sophie, so he could say bye ahead of time for the truth of the matter was that there was no winning this. Maybe he could make a deal...? Why was this so hard... Worn out from everything he decided to curl up and go to sleep, hoping to think of something tomorrow instead.
[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] After thanking Allison it soon became their turn and Elizabeth got her things ready and headed back towards the door where she waited for the other while taking a few sips. To be honest she had money on her, but this was a small payback for her morning being ruined today. So now she could hold on to some cash for a while as she dragged on the paying back part. Once rejoined with Allison they walked back to the dorm room together where she ate in silence before going into the bathroom to change into pajamas when the hours were late. After that she laid down to go to sleep, hoping to wake early tomorrow and make up for the wasted day. Noticing her room mate leave Daniel felt a ping of guilt, wondering if she had been too harsh on the kid. It wasn't like she cared, really. Just...being turned down so cruelly did a number on the softies. She would have to invest in that later. For now, though, tumblr called. Amazing, really, that she somehow managed to waste an entire morning online. Maybe a job would prove as a good idea. After all without need to pay rent anymore the money would really start stacking up. So with that in mind she went to the school website to look around for info on said topic, finding little to do. Least by her standard of 'worth her time.' In any case, early or not she felt tired still. How lazy was she? Oh well. It hardly mattered now as she decided to just go back to sleep. ………………… Tumblr › Wearing › Mood ›› Sleeping › Interaction Level ›› 0
Chaotic Neutral .
Mya's silence proved one thing at least, the girl wasn't sure why she was there either. This opened Scarlet to thinking that perhaps it would be okay to focus her efforts on the PK, as both players over there seemed to have their health bar in the orange now. Rushing in she slide up behind Masamune before spinning to speed up her sword as it went in for a slash attack. Sure Shiina seemed like she needs this chance for herself, but standing idly by pained her too much so the need to act kicked in. Plus Sol was still over here, and it was impossible to leave her pet who acted like a family member alone and vulnerable.
[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] Instead of going to the mess hall, or what have you, Elizabeth lead Allison to the coffee shop but while in line she looked at the other girl with a thoughtful expression. "I'm sorry to burden you, but it seems like I have forgotten my wallet. Would you care to buy me an espresso and perhaps something else like... Oh, I would love a croissant. I will pay you back later, promise. Though you are free to say no, I will not mind." She spoke while shifting through her pockets and purse, still in search of money but finding none. [ LEVEL SEVENTEEN - BGM17 - STATUS: ??? - UPDATE ] Anthony had pulled out his phone to check for messages only to discover Elizabeth had finally managed to find out his number. So, those thoughts last night, they were real and not imagined...and she had won whatever that was. Did this mean he was free to do whatever he wanted without dying? Well, he was sure he was already marked for death either way so it hardly mattered. Still...what if breaking one of these rules helped another? He would have to talk to someone smarter than himself about this. Like the Master of Logic for one. Simple text, one he did not bother signing. And as soon as it was sent his attention returned to his room mate who had replied to him. So Matt thought he was cool? This brought a smile to Anthony's face. But before he could introduce himself as well to boy took a fall, hurting himself pretty bad by the looks of it. "Whoa, you alright?" He called out, rushing over to the guy and examining him. Seemed out cold. Running out to the hall he called out and got the attention of a passing teacher. One to watch the dorms while school was out, he guessed. In any case the man promised to watch out for Matt and took him to whatever medical center the campus provided.
The memory flashed in her head over and over; strange creatures glared her way, a voice called out in her head, a being was called forth by her, the fight... It's been nearly a week since then and despite thinking everything would change after that normal life just carried on. Had it all been a dream? Sighing in disappointment the raven haired teen turned her head to peer beyond a few students to see out the window. It would seem that dark clouds had rolled in, blocking the sun out entirely today. What was with this strange weather? It's almost as if it's been an omen, with that and those monsters. But nothing else had happened. "Miss Williams, I don't know how they do things overseas but here we expect our students to pay attention in class." "S-sorry sir," this teacher... Despite Karen being the best in class the man still seemed to loath her. Was it really just because of her American origins? Other than that incident class went on without issue, soon ending at the sound of the bell. Thank god, Karen thought, happily getting out of her seat and heading out. However once she got to the exit it appeared locked. In fact, all windows were suddenly blackened out. How did she not notice that before? Panic began setting in the crowds and even the teachers seemed fearful though they were telling everyone to calm down and return to their homerooms. Karen, on the other hand, found herself frozen for a time. And when she could finally move again she turned to find the halls of the first floor empty. "Hello?" No one answered her call. Everyone seemed to have disappeared. Though in reality a few had remained, separate and alone. They would find no way out of the school and soon the walls began to drip a black liquid that formed puddles on the floors.
With the issues seemingly dealt with the keyblade in her hand was dismissed and Yana looked towards the others after giving this king a bow. It was unclear what they were supposed to do now but with everything that's been happening one thing became clear; this was hardly a hallucination. Still, talking animals... "Oh man," she mumbled, wondering what she got herself into this time. In any case, some events seemed yet to unfold so she moved off to the sidelines while waiting to see what would take place next.
//late to the party per usual. but was unable to say it before. but yeah! happy birthday <3 i'm so happy to see you getting that present and all...
[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] It was hard to tell if Allison was timid or just having an off day, but in the end it proved amusing either way. Enough so to even make her give a small laugh. "I'll just go back to reading while you do that." Elizabeth waited for the other girl to disappear into the bathroom before turning back to the hard cover, opening it once more but finding her attention simply gone. Sighing she gave up on the idea and returned to unpacking. There was a fair bit of clothes here along with an old ipod and notebook. Oh...hm. It was one she used to catalogue her thoughts in and if Victoria had read it before sending it over there would be an issue. But knowing the woman a talk would have been had already, so she had to be safe. Right? No way it could stay though. The thing had to burn. But before she could get to that the voice of her room mate returned, becoming more annoying than entertaining already. Whatever, it could wait to later but for now back into the box it went. Looking around Elizabeth saw the bag Allison spoke of and went through it for a towel. Once one was found she walked over to the bathroom and opened it just enough to stick her hand through with the towel. Surely the shower was close enough for Allison to grab it now. "Here you go." Pausing she took a moment before continuing. "Do you have any money?"
"Then why waste your time with him?" Scarlet asked, jumping back once more and while watching as Sol took a blow from the wolf as it was thrown into him. Would have been an easy dodge, but since he stood his ground the wolf was able to come off with little damage and get back on its feet, if able. And then she saw it, a chance. That PK was stuck with one of the wolves on his back and seemingly injured so she gestured to the raven, having it swoop down and aim its beak to the ribbon. During this time she put her guard up, not making another move against Mya just yet.
It seemed to be a rather slow day on the internet with no one to talk to and nothing to do, causing Daniel to think about just logging off. However, though she tried, the girl could just not stop refreshing the page. Was she really this lonely? Kinda lame. At least the problem was solved at the sound of a voice, a rather soft one but still easily heard. Turning her head she saw that the source had been her room mate, who had awoken from her slumber. Was it her fault? Pfft, like she cared for this girl. But being rude...to someone you had to live with... Well it could have draw backs. Let's just hope this girl wasn't one to seek out vengeance. "Hey," she started, showing a lack of interest, "I'm Daniel, or Danny. Whichever." ………………… Tumblr › Wearing › Mood ›› Groggy › Interaction Level ›› 1 [ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] "Hm." Elizabeth had only started reading when the voice came out, making it rather annoying. At least she wasn't in the middle of a dramatic part though so it was easy to just set the book down. Turning her chair to face towards the bed Elizabeth made a note of this Allison and her appearance, crossing her legs before going to talk. "No worries, I didn't hear you enter. My name is Elizabeth. It's nice to meet you, too." This person did not look familiar. Was she not one from their school? "And yes, it would seem so." Reaching up to touch her hair Elizabeth combed through the black locks with her fingers in thought. How to go about this... "Hey, do you want to get breakfast together?"
[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] Waking early Elizabeth found herself no longer alone in the room. At least the other person seemed asleep still, giving her the time to shower and dress without being disturbed. Once finished left for the library, returning shortly after with as many books as she could carry and sat them upon the desk before sitting there herself, taking one from the top of the pile to read. And every now and then she would glance at her room mate, wondering who exactly was this person and if they would be any fun. [ LEVEL SEVENTEEN - BGM17 - STATUS: ??? - UPDATE ] He left Nora behind. Lost Heidi. Accidentally summoned the demon that would be his death. ... "Failure..." the word slipped out right before his eyes started to open, his head turning in a quick reflex. "Huh?" Looking around he noticed someone new in the room. Who was that? Rubbing his eyes now Anthony sat up, turning off the game boy even though it had already died. For the next few moments he just sat there in a daze, yawning one or twice before finally feeling awake, though only slightly. "Who are you?" The day started off with a fit of coughs that ruined an otherwise good morning. That was, until she realized there was a bump in the other bed. What was it? ...Fuck. Right. Dorms. Well that sucked. Still she ignored the other form, figuring as long as she was asleep it was hardly any of her concern and decided to pull out her laptop setting it up on her bed. Perhaps it was a bad idea, to get online before preparing for the day, but as she had no plans why bother? Tumblr was always company enough anyway. And oh, there seemed to be two new messages for her. ………………… Tumblr › Wearing › Mood ›› Groggy › Interaction Level ›› 1
[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] With that settled she felt much better and happily returned to the girl's dorm. After cleaning and stashing the knife back in her purse, of course. It would just be foolish walking back with it all bloody and in the open. Didn't know what to do with the body though, so it was left as it was. And then there was her room. Two boxes were on her side, though only one had been opened and its contents placed in the dresser. Hardly much, but it was at least enough to keep her well off for the starting few weeks here. A job or something would be needed, as her...hobbies had to be put aside for the time being. Oh well. That was tomorrow's worries. For now all she wished for was sleep so she changed into a nightgown and laid down. It only took moments before she discovered a blissful slumber. [ LEVEL SIXTEEN - BGM16 - STATUS: ??? - UPDATE ] He had spent most of the day walking about in a daze before finally realizing that it was getting late. With that he went back to his room, carefully opening the door just in case Elizabeth remained inside. When he saw that the coast was clear a sigh of relief escaped him. After that he went to sit on his bed, playing the game boy he had brought with though neglected until now. Who knew how much time passed before he fell asleep. Minutes, or maybe it was hours? In an case he had left the game playing, the deceive in his hand as he slumped over and began lightly snoring.
Releasing a sigh of relief Yana turned to the king, unprepared for another fight though showing no signs of weakness. "You want to fight us next? I could use a nice new rug." She said, ending her sentence with laughter.
