Because you've been here for 3 years and are still yet to break 200 posts?
Well i'm not 100% sure but i'm going to assume Skyheart's location is the most geographically close to the Earth's core, so he's got my vote.
Callum Crux put away the letter once again. How many times had he looked at it now? Far too many to count. After getting the letter a few days prior, he had read the note several times a day, trying to make sense of it all. Why him? What made him so special? Was somebody looking to make his life worse than it already was? He hadn't been to school the last few days, choosing to instead squeeze what little joy out of life he could before he left to go to the place mentioned. Even that day, June the 4th, he hadn't gone to school. Truthfully he could have made it there and arrived at the address mentioned, probably with a lot of time to spare, but he hadn't. What was the point of attending there? Something was going to happen that day, he was sure of it. If it was a positive thing (like that was going to happen), he could just go back the next day and nobody would know the difference. If negative, then what would it matter if he suddenly vanished without a trace? Nobody would care anyway. Glancing once again at the letter as he took it out of his pocket, he took one last look at it before placing it on the table. "Love, your new friend" he echoed. A few moments passed as he thought about those words. "Tch, some friend. They made it sound like we know each other, but who would think of me as a friend? Damn idiots, all of them" he said, bitterness evident in his voice as he pulled on his clothes. Walking towards the door, he pushed it open and stepped out, making sure to lock it behind him. He hadn't needed to say goodbye to any friends or family, for he had neither. He lived alone, as he had for a few years. He occasionally got money sent to him, enough to survive, by his second cousin, who lived overseas but spoke a foreign language, but that was it as far as socialization was concerned. His family had died when he was a small child, and misfortune had followed him around like a plague, and he had every belief that this mysterious note was only going to add to it. Walking slowly along the street, he found the address rather easily. It really did look just like an office building, like the note had said. How much of the rest of it was true? There was only one way to find out, and he had nothing to lose. Walking inside, he found the steps quickly and ascended them with the same pace he had maintained on the walk there. Arriving at the top of the staircase, he glanced around a little to see if anyone else was there. So far, so good. Not a person in sight. Stepping forward, he placed his right hand on the scanner before him and spoke his name. "Callum Crux" the boy spoke, quietly and softly but with the slightest hint of sadness in his voice. Done with that, he then made his way to the conference room that was mentioned and pushed open the doors. This was where his luck ran out. There was another person in there, just his luck. It seemed she was distracted eating though, so he could probably avoid talking; if he got lucky, anyway. That'd be a first, he thought to himself. Walking in slowly, he kept his eyes focused on the girl inside. If he could avoid talking to her, he most certainly would, so he stepped very carefully as he walked over to a chair and sat down in it without a word. He then tried to make himself as comfortable as he was able to in that sitting position and simply waited.
Gexln continued his act of looking sad, seeing that it was working. "P-please?" he asked, still sounding as sad as possible. He turned to try the same thing with Xepphiras for a moment, saying "I-i'm sorry, just come back and train and we'll train you well" he said. He would have continued this act, pushing forward until every single person in the area bent to his will, but his act was interrupted by an almighty explosion behind him. Turning to see where the noise had come from, his mouth dropped wide open in shock. Not only had Beuce managed to destroy the room, ruining any chance of actually training Xepphiras there, but he had also managed to make a big enough explosion people would surely be yelling at him rather than listening to Gexln's attempts to convince them to let him murder everything in the area. Beucefilous D. Alexander had crossed a line. "Never mess with a man and their murderous tendencies" he growled slowly. Leaping forward and into the huge area of molten rock and lava, he charged at Beuce as he jumped from rock to rock to avoid the lava as he raced towards his opponent. "I hate you!" he cried as he landed on a conveniently placed length of rock and countered Beuce's own force with his dark burst attack. The two forces collided, neither warrior giving up, as the room itself began to suffer the consequences. The very air around could be felt heating up, and huge vibrations were being sent from the intense force both fighters were giving off, and chunks of the roof began to fall. Parts of the walls around them began dropping until the place they were battling in could surely not be safe to remain inside anymore, but yet they continued. Eventually, the force got too much and a gigantic explosion went off, knocking both Gexln and Beuce into the remains of the walls around them. Getting up slowly, Gexln pointed his umbrella at Beuce. "That thing that you said, that was kinda gay man" he accused. "You think you're all that don't you Beuce? One day, I will become the most powerful Nobody EVER, and then I will be able to stop people from dying! I'll keep the ones I care about from dying, you think you can stand in my way of that? Like you're better than I am?!" he shouted. Racing forward, he tossed it at Beuce strike raid style, only to have it deflected a second later. Not stopping, the Nobody of the Dark stepped forward quickly. "We all know who the real brains are behind your posts! You're not even being original are you? It's all Rienzel doing the work, you're just some puppet on a string! Mine are my own, but yours are just somebody else's work!" he yelled as he struck out with the umbrella. In truth, Gexln had no idea who Rienzel was or what posts were, but he had heard Beuce talk about them so many times he had an idea as to how to use them as insults.
Gexln was still using his dark thundaga and shooting it at Beuce. "You deserve every bit of this for all your stupid babbling!" he shouted with a somewhat maniacal laugh. Right as the dark thundaga was about to hit, he was suddenly yanked back by his scarf and his arms went up into the air, causing the lightning attack to hit the roof and break a chunk of it, sending it crashing to the ground nearby Beuce. Gexln was about to turn around and give the person a piece of their mind, but he didn't the moment he heard the voice. After listening to her rant, he could only hear one phrase echoing in his mind. No murder. No murder. NO MURDER. Turning around quickly, there was only one thing to do. He had to get her to pity him and give him permission to continue the battle, it was his only hope. His eyes got watery and tears could be seen forming in his mind, forcing them to be there. He was going to do the unthinkable, he was going to make himself cry. Try as he might, he just couldn't force the tears to flow, but he could certainly get his eyes teary. "No...no murder? But...but...but why?" he asked quietly, making his voice sound as sad as possible.
Glen listened to what Braum Kuma had to say, and immediately understood what he meant by giving him fifty. That didn't mean he was going to do it though. He shook his head. "Uh uh, I'm here to learn to fight, not to learn how to push my body off the ground. What good will that do in battle? Are we going to knock them onto their back and repeatedly push them into the ground with our abdomens? I don't want people to think I'm into that kinda thing" he responded. His ears caught the sound of both Karina showing off and Eon either being stupid and trying to take his job from him, or genuinely not knowing what Kuma meant. Out of all that was said though, the thing that caught Glen off-guard the most was Eon's admittance to owning a copy of 50 shades of grey. He hadn't read it himself, but he had heard rumours about it. Nudging Karina with his elbow quietly, he spoke. "Looks like your boyfriend's been studying" he whispered. He then took a step back and over next to Eon. Nudging him, too, he spoke once more. "Looks like your girlfriend's a dude. I mean just look at how easily those push-ups are done, no woman can be that strong, seriously" he whispered. He then stepped back into line and stared Kuma right in the eye. "I'll give you 25 and promise to not embarass you in front of everyone here by kicking your ass, does that sound good enough for you?" he challenged.
Sven stopped at the base of one of the huge walls that surrounded the human district. Looking up, he could see just how high they stretched. Most lustors would be stuck there, unable to get in. The main gate would probably be guarded by humans and be instant death to any single person trying to get in. Luckily, he was no ordinary lustor. Sven began creating bones extending from his feet, growing longer and longer as he rocketed high into the air and up on top of the wall. Upon arriving at the top, he retracted the bones and immediately felt a huge amount of blood leave his system. He began feeling very tired immediately, but he could not afford to stop. He took a few steps along the wall, but it was then that a guard on top of the wall saw him. That one would have to be taken out quickly before he could alert others. Without a sound, Sven extended the bones inside his hand, causing three bony claws to stick out of his knuckles. Leaping over to the guard, he quickly cut the man's throat and let his body fall over on top of the wall. The next part of his plan had to come into play now. Looking around the area he was in, he saw from a distance a rather large home. Chances were the chief was there, as it looked like a rather important place. Now that he had found the house, he had to get there without being detected. Things were about to get interesting. Lilith caught up to the others as they arrived at Hunter and Gwen. She recognized the two of them as the archer and the *******. She knew Hunter especially well though, she had heard many stories, seen him gloating all the time. His ego was well known. In fact, he seemed almost convinced that it wasn't Jedediah who was humanity's gift from God, but Hunter himself. Part of the girl wanted to race in and start beating up Feo. It was far more entertaining than standing there doing nothing, but she had to think of the future. This was the perfect opportunity to build up Jed's ego and strengthen his belief that he was the gift from god, which would be all the more entertaining when he found out he wasn't. Keeping this in mind, Lilith started jumping up into the air and punching the air above her. "Yeah, kick his ass Jed! Murder him! Crush his little skull! Show him the strength of the lord! Teach him not to mess with God's chosen one!" she yelled out to him. Hunter was just casually nodding slowly as Gwen spat out her string of insults. They were nothing he hadn't heard before, in fact it would have been strange if he hadn't heard them come out at some point that day. It defined who he was, and he acknowledged that. "You know, Ginger, you say them like they're bad things" he responded simply, cocky tone to his voice. It was then that Lilith came in cheering as Jedediah attacked Feo. "Oh hey it's his holiness himself, Frank" Hunter said. He called Jedediah that because of how up-front he was about everything. This wasn't the first time he'd seen Jedediah, everyone in the human district knew of the boy who believed himself to be god's chosen one. They were wrong of course, everybody knew it was Hunter that was god's gift to humanity, especially himself. "You should step away from him though, holy boy. You ain't as good as you think you are, you need ta let the real gift from god take this one. You just sit there and pray 'til he's dead and see how that works out for ya, aight? I've got this" he said simply as he brandished his sword and took a step forward and leaped over the top of the spirits, coming down with a vertical slash on top of Feo.
Gexln parried the attack with ease and flicked his umbrella up slightly, knocking Beuce's away from himself. "Yeah that's a very nice toothpick you made there Xepphiras" he said, not focusing enough on it to actually let himself be distracted by it. This was going to be a difficult battle, he could feel it, so he would have to pull every little trick out of his ass that he possibly could. Thrusting his hand forward in front of him, he directed a small blast of dark energy forward at Beuce and knocked the keyblade wielder back. Not satisfied with that attack though, Gexln began his next attack. "You want to see some dark magic? See if you can copy this then" he called out to Xepphiras. His hand began glowing yellow, indicating thunder magic being prepared, but that yellow began to darken rather quickly to the point that within seconds his hand was glowing with black lightning shooting off of it. Opening his palm and pointing it at Beucefilous, he unleashed a beam of Dark Thundaga magic and shot it directly at Beuce.
Purchasing 1 strength boost for 8 crowns and 2 speed boosts for 12 crowns, totalling 20. 37(+2) STR, 19.5 SPEED should be those stats now. Last edit I promise. I'm also going to purchase Barrier Surge, unequip launch, equip barrier surge and then change Glen's equipped keyblade to Hidden Dragon instead of Oathkeeper. Glen's munny should now be 2600. Okay I lied i'm going all in with this. I'm going to also unequip Glen's phoenix down, purchase 2 elixirs, and then equip both elixirs. So his items will now be 1 Ultra Potion, 1 Hi-Potion, and 2 elixirs. Glen is now at 600 munny.
Sven turned his head away from Orpheus. Even if he didn't agree with his methods in the slightest, he knew that the necromancer was right. By injuring Cierra and spilling her blood he had saved her from The Warden. By nearly killing her he may have saved her life, but only if something was done about the bleeding. Someone would have to go to the human district, someone that was both quick and could get the healer with haste. As much as he loathed the humans, the very idea of losing Cierra was one he hated more. He would go, as he would have even if Orpheus had requested somebody else. He gave a brief nod before taking one more glance at Cierra, laying there, her breathing not as fast as he would have liked it to be. "I'll deliver your message. If the humans don't listen and they refuse, then I'll take the healer by force" he said, his voice grim and a little edgy. With that being said, he took off without another word, running with great speed towards the human district. Lilith stuck her tongue out at Charlotte. She didn't particularly like Charlotte very much, she always treated her as though she had some dislike for her. So, it was only fair to dislike her back wasn't it? "Charly you should be nicer. If you keep frowning all the time and being all uppity you're going to wind up getting wrinkles, and then who's going to want you?" she teased. Lilith would have continued her little tease, but that was when Emi began running further down the tunnel. Having as short attention span as she did, Lilith's focus was immediately switched. "Oooooh, something interesting's happening! About time!" the girl said, blinking away a couple of metres and breaking into a run after Emi. Hunter genuinely looked shocked at Gwen's statement. He looked that way because, well, he was indeed shocked and that's usually what happens when people are surprised. Gwen never asked for his help, she never seemed to do anything that would inflate his ego. Hunter's brows furrowed into a frown as slight anger began filling his body. This was his time to shine, his moment of truth. If he didn't kill the spiritia here and now, then they were both probably screwed. Everything. Depended. On this moment. Hunter turned away for a brief moment. The man thought of every moment he had ever been jeered or laughed at, every moment he had been sneered at or attacked, he let the rage bubble away inside of him. Turning back with incredible speed, he took a step forward and.... ... ... He stared at them. Oh but it was not just any stare, it was the death stare to end all death stares. He even put Luigi's death stare to shame, that was how intense it was. Here was a man with such hatred and ferosity an aura of rage could be felt coming from him, but unfortunately the spiritia sensed it too, which was his plan all along but he really hadn't thought things through. Why would he listen to Feo? In his mind he was far too inferior to have an opinion worth something. The spiritia became empowered by this rage, became ever more violent, and unleashed an unbelievable barrage of headbutts into Hunter, knocking him clean off his feet. His body now aching, Hunter slowly climbed up and stood tall. "Right, right, they feed off hate don't they. Looks like we're gonna have to drown 'em in love, happiness and joy then" Hunter explained. He then reached into his pockets and made a gesture to show they were clearly empty. "Sorry Ginger, I don't got a lot of love in me, not the kinda love they're after anyway" he said with a sly wink. Not satisfied enough with that, he opened his mouth once again to speak. "Y'know, we could always make so-" he was interrupted with a sharp jab to his stomach by the spiritia, who knew exactly what he was going to suggest and knew that it made Hunter a very dirty old man indeed. For all his sarcasm and cockiness, it appeared that Hunter's very existence angered the spiritia, which really didn't help their situation.
Despite everything that had gone on, Glen remained surprisingly quiet. After how badly (yet humorously) his plan to distract Karina had failed, he had come to the conclusion that if he tried to intefere with anything he would only make things worse. Making things worse seemed to be a particular talent of his, one that he was not particularly proud of. Perhaps if he had taken things a little more seriously back in Corona, done things differently, maybe they would have beaten Vanitas, and maybe they would have been able to save Rapunzel. With that on his mind, he decided he needed to become stronger. Part of him wanted to go to the library, to learn more about the darkness and how he could use it and turn it against Vanitas, but at the same time he needed to be physically stronger. And if that meant having to survive with Karina The Terrible, well he would just have to manage somehow. He took a step towards Huey and hoped he had not offended the other two ducks, and he, too, summoned his keyblade. "I'm going to the training grounds" he said simply.
Huh, well I only just dicovered both this and the actual challenge thread itself. Damn alerts not functioning properly. Will try to cook somethin up tomorrow though.

Forgive me if this is in the wrong section, as I am not entirely sure where it belongs. Anyway, what I'm trying to do is animate a simple sprite so that it's simply running. This one in particular. Spoiler: image Now, I know it could technically be done frame by frame and simply changing the image displayed rapidly, but I was wondering if there is a program that would do this for me that is free seeing as I am broke. I'm attempting to make an opening cinematic for a RPG i'm working on, and any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Equipping Launch for Glen, thanks.
The entire time that things were going crazy, Glen stood there without a word. It wasn't out of sense, or him wanting to observe the situation, it was just him being so shocked he had difficulty putting words out. Not only had they been abducted and taken to a foreign world, but Krowley had no mask on now, Karina was flipping out, and now Kaida was panicking too? Was he next to lose his sanity? Had he ever really had that anyway? Maybe he should do something to calm them down, and some part of him genuinely wanted to, but he decided to avoid it. He let out a short laugh and pointed at Kaida. "You punched your boss? You are so screwed!" he said, finding the situation far more amusing than he should. He was about to continue, before he took notice now of just how bad Karina's freakout really was. If somebody didn't do something, she would surely destroy the entire place, knowing how aggressive she could be from his time in land of dragons. Ideas began hurrying through his mind. Maybe he could talk to her, but that would wind up with him being killed. Maybe he could get somebody else to talk to her, but that could result in him being attacked anyway. Suddenly a suitable idea came into mind, sort of. She needed a distraction, and it had to be one that would surely keep her busy from destroying the place. After seeing what her reaction to seeing Beuce again had been, it was fairly obvious that there was some level of dislike for him. Strolling casually over to Beuce, he had a sly smirk on his face. "Well, if you reeeeeally want to know what we did in that world...we sort of learned...well, to show you you're going to have to step onto my hands" he said, cupping his hands and making way for Beuce to step onto them. The very second he did so, Glen launched Beuce into the air and sent him crashing into Karina, making his plan a success and making Glen eligible for one of the bigger *******s of the SOS team.
Podcast seems entertaining so far, still haven't listened to the entirety of it but hey if it's kept me interested thus far I doubt I'll lose it anytime soon. On another note, I didn't realize this was the debate corner :P
Running at full speed was the trickster and thief, Lilith. She wasn't alone though, she was being pursued by a male that looked to be about sixteen years of age. She had had something taken from him, and it was not what he had planned to have taken from him. Oh she remembered the look in his eyes so well. His eyes had lit up, thinking he was about to have the experience of a lifetime as she had promised him. Shirtless and laying on his bed in wait, he would have been imagining all the things that were about to happen, only to have those thoughts be hushed away as he heard the sound of a door slam and a girl gleefully running away, his grandmother's valuable necklace in tow. Lilith hadn't known about the necklace until she had gotten into the home, but you can bet that the desire to take it far outweighed the desire she had had only moments before. Faster her feet ran until she at last headed to the entrance to the tunnel the other humans and lustors had gone to. Arriving at the entrance, she turned and gave a little wink. "Maybe next time, buh-bye!" she teased with a little laugh. Then, in less than a second, she was gone. She had 'blinked' a few meters away into the tunnel, but to the boy it would look as though she had simply vanished. Running along the tunnel now wearing the necklace around her neck, she hurried to where Jedediah and the others were. With a slight skid, she stopped next to the aforementioned 'hero' and gave a slight laugh. "Oh man, you wouldn't believe how gullible the boys around here are!" she said with a slight giggle. Gawain sighed a sigh of relief as he saw The Warden leaving. While he knew that The Warden would more than likely keep his word and come back for them later, they were safe. For the moment. General Orpheus' plan had seemed to work, and Gawain had to admit that it was an interesting idea. While it was a good one, and arguably the thing that had won them the battle, the warrior did not agree with him sacrificing a comrade to do it. Normally he would argue, give Orpheus a piece of his mind, but his injuries were getting the best of him, and he at last felt the fighting spirit leave him. The battle was over, and he allowed himself rest as consciousness left him and he passed out in the middle of the battlefield. Sven simply stood there, eyes wide open in shock. Part of him wanted to be thankful for what Orpheus had done; he had undeniably saved them all. The move was a smart one, but the other part of himself could not get past one simple fact: he had brutally harmed Cierra. After all she had been through, after everything that had happened to her before, she had escaped her captor before and come to them. And then Orpheus went and did that. Walking right up to Orpheus, he stood up to his full height, which wasn't much but his posture suggested aggression and he stood right up in Orpheus' face. "What the **** was that?! I'm all for beating back The Warden, but that was not the way to go about it! We're supposed to protect Cierra, to keep her safe, not throw her out as the sacrificial lamb!" he screamed out. The tension in the air could have been cut with a knife and could most certainly be felt by those around. The young lustor was losing it bigtime and it was obvious. Hunter pulled his hands out of his pants quite fast after Gwen's remark. He held his right hand over where his heart would be and did his best to feign a look of hurt and shock. "I am offended! How could you think that I would do such a thing? I think we both know I'm a gentleman and a very considerate man!" he cried out. At this, he felt two little spirit orbs ram into him. "Ow! Okay, okay, not even I can believe that. But seriously, why would I do that in the middle of a-" he began, but was cut off by a strange tingling sensation in his body. Was this what guilt felt like? Regret? Was mother nature calling? No, it wasn't that. It couldn't be that, he had answered that call just before he went into the tunnel. This was- yes! It was that power he had read about in the book. He could barely remember the name of the book. An...anne...anne..eee..my? He could have sworn it was something like that. The book stated that when confronted with a higher power, by the logic of anime a strange and powerful force would empower a person. At the time he had shrugged it off as nonsense, but the proof was there. He was the chosen one. The one destined to defeat the spiritia. "I knew all this awesomeness wasn't for nothing!" he exclaimed. Leaping into action, Hunter hopped forward and swung his sword with extreme speed, straight through one of the spiritia. Not one to be deterred so easily, he tried again, and once more it passed through harmlessly. "Excuse me, I don't know if you know how this works. You're supposed to be..y'know, dead" he said, pointing a finger accusingly at the spiritia.
Username: Gexln/Dr_Wigglz Character Name: Lilith Age: 17 Gender: Female Appearance: Spoiler Bio: Raised an orphan, Lilith never knew any sense of family. She was raised by a kind stranger, who gave her food, shelter, and a place to call home. As she got older, Lilith grew less and less attached to her savior. He was too boring for her, so she made the decision to leave. Packing her things, the girl took what food the man had and then utilized her ability to leave the home in seconds. Travelling across the lustor district, she sought some form of entertainment, some way to cure her boredom. She found it in the human district with the one known as Jedediah. She knew from the moment she met him that he was a lustor, but he seemed very convinced that he was not a regular human, but a "gift from god". This belief was entertaining to her and very amusing, so she made the decision to stay in the human district and take whatever treasures she found, all while reinforcing the idea that Jedidiah really is "the gift from god". Primary Power*: Lustor Sense - Very simple. Can tell whether somebody is a lustor or not, but before upgrades can't sense what powers they may or may not have. Inherited Power*: "Molecular dispertion" (teleportation) -limit: Cannot "blink" further than 5 metres at a time. Weapon: Dual daggers Starting Location: Human District Other: Is bisexual, and deceptively manipulative. Theme: Here
Upgrade for Sven: Bones now cost a smallish amount of blood to generate, cost is the same for retractionn/detachment. Upgrade for Hunter: Physical strength increased.
