I voted for Base, Beuce, and Kel, because I think they would each do an excellent job at moderating. I need to put more? Geez. Fiiiiiiine. I voted for the three I mentioned for similar reasons as each other. While they don't seem to post extremely frequently, they do seem to have a good grasp on the concept and mechanics of the rp, and I have faith that all three of them would be moderators that would do their job as well as be respected moderators. That is why I voted for them.
Day: 47(4/4) Date: Thursday, 7th November 2013 Location: Kimbe, New Britain Island, Papua New Guinea Nasir flopped into the seat in front of his desktop computer with a thud. He had had a fairly successful day, selling plenty of his 'product' and making a rather large profit. He hadn't gotten rid of it all; that would've been a very poor move on his part if he had, especially considering that there were certain people around the world "interested" in the specific drug he had access to. He looked down next to his seat and at the box that lay next to it. To many people, it would be seen as a risk of being caught, to Nasir though it was a large sum of money simply waiting to be collected. Nasir wasn't completely without worry though, but it wasn't for the drugs. After hearing about the storms occurring around Australia, he had attempted to contact possibly the only person he could call a friend several times, but not a single time had he gotten a response. Nasir lifted a cigarette to his mouth and after fiddling around a little bit with the lighter he held in his hands, he lit the cigarette and began enjoying the slight relief it brought. The man then opened up his internet browser and logged into his emails for signs of both a response from Elsie, and a response from one of his many contacts. He sighed as he saw the screen that his email provider had brought up; no dice. Just as Nasir was about to sign off for the night and get some sleep, a small, familiar icon appeared in the corner of his computer screen; which meant that Elsie had just signed on. Nasir wasted no time, quickly attempting to start a call with Elsie. Spoiler: call "Nasir! Hey! I'm so sorry man." "What happened? You should've contacted me sooner and not ****ing kept me waiting!" Nasir couldn't help himself, he opened up his mouth and the words left his mouth before he could think, as was often the case. "Dude, chill, the towers were out. I couldn't contact you or anyone else for days." Nasir heard a sigh from the other line. Regret maybe? "Look, I'm really sorry... Everything okay where you're at? You didn't get a freak storm, did you?" The drug dealer stopped and thought for a moment. He didn't remember any storms at all, let alone any 'freak storms'. Business had been pretty standard for him, something which pleased him. He exhaled some smoke, before taking another puff from his cigarette and then opened his mouth to answer. His voice came across incredibly calm, something he seemed to be able to portray most of the time. "Nothing really freaky here except the shitheads that come to buy...things from me" he explained, as casually as he could. He paused. Did he want to continue speaking? In his mind, Elsie was pretty thick, but then against most people were, there was a chance she could catch on though. "I still think you should have found a way to contact me sooner, anyone with a brain would be able to find some other way to do it" he said, stretching out his arms a little as he spoke. He sure was tired, sleep was sounding more appealing to him with each passing second. He was letting his thoughts drift away a little, he barely heard the comment about Morse code. "Still a jerk as ever. I didn't know better, I would think you were worried about me this whole time.' This comment surprised Nasir. He began losing his balance on his chair as he was rocking on it, nearly falling over. He managed to regain it without a sound, and now sat alert in front of the computer. "As if!" he exclaimed. "Awww, you still have a heart after all!" He ignored this part of the teasing; reacting to it would only give Elsie more ammunition to use against him. "I just need someone to rant to that's not going to lose their **** at all the things I say" he explained. It was the truth; if there was one thing Nasir was good at aside from selling drugs, it was keeping people away from him. Sometimes he wondered why Elsie herself even spoke to him, he wasn't really nice to her well, ever. "Mhm, sure you do. You wouldn't be calling me if you were so worried." To this Nasir found himself unintentionally rolling his eyes. While it was true he found a small amount of enjoyment talking to Elsie, the girl seemed to think he cared a lot more than he actually did. "So what's been going on your country Nasir my friend? Besides getting freaky weirdos coming around your place... You should really move or something. Or, I dunno, get another 'job'." Nasir found himself silently choking the moment he heard Elsie speak. So after not contacting him at all for the last bit, she decided the first conversation they had to lecture him on his career choice? The girl had some nerve. If it were anybody else, Nasir would have exploded on them there and then, yelling abuse until the night was over, but he bit his tongue. He would get her back, he knew. "My job is fine, I make a lot of money from this ****" he said. Now to drop the bomb. "In fact, i've been doing so well lately that i've been thinkin of using the money i've made to go over to Australia" he said. The next thing he heard was Elsie coughing a little, which was good; it meant he had surprised her.

It was half true, it would certainly be difficult to get there. Had he been looking at flights though? Not at all, but he had considered it. Elsie didn't need to know that though.

I've got some interested clients that are willing to pay big money for the stuff i've got riiiiight here" [COLOR=#333333]Nasir responded, tapping the boxes to his left with his fingers. To the right buyer, they were worth a lot of money. [COLOR=#ff0000]"And no amount of demonic voodoo bullshit is going to stop me from getting my hands on that" [COLOR=#333333]he added. He did indeed have contacts in Australia that wanted their hands on what he had, but he hadn't finalised any plans.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] "Yeah, um, good luck finding me if and when you get down here, mate. If you decide to try to look me up while you're here." Nasir had to stifle a laugh at that. The use of the word 'mate', as simple as it had been, had amused him. Elsie, you still assume you're the main reason I want to go there, now who's the caring one? he wanted to say, but the words remained in his head alone, so he stayed silent. "So, I'm going to pig out now cause I've been busting my butt cleaning up water all day with this crazy cat lady, and I'm starving. Milk and cookies just doesn't do it after a while. You're going to stick around and hear me eat? Or you got more to say?" It appeared he was finally going to get to sleep. Part of him wanted to continue chatting like that, it wasn't often he actually enjoyed a conversation with someone, but at the same time he really didn't want to listen to Elsie eat. He exhaled one more puff of smoke, then put out his cigarette and threw it in the bin across the room. He didn't care whether it actually landed in the bin or not, either way he would probably have to clean it up later. "If I wanted to hear a fat pig eat, I live two blocks away from a police station, so I think I'll let you go. Catch ya another time, blondie" "Heh, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!" Nasir closed the communications program and logged off from his email, then he shut down his computer and stretched once more with a yawn. Maybe tomorrow he would book a flight for Australia and meet up with the interested client. While he wouldn't earn as much money because he would be travelling, one attraction was that people would get desperate and he could probably charge higher prices when he returned, which could turn into a huge profit if he played it correctly. Another yawn indicated that it was time for bed. He didn't bother to get changed into any pajamas or anything of the sort, Nasir simply collapsed onto his bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Kaxar's eyes widened as the blades went straight through her. Despite the blades impaling her from all sides, she was unable to stop herself from falling backwards towards the ground. Right as she was about to hit the ground, she felt herself stop. She looked to her side weakly, and to her relief she saw Gexln. For a moment he said nothing, just stood there in shock, and then he opened his mouth to speak. Kaxar let her keyblade fall to the ground, slipping out of her hand, as she raised a hand to Gexln's cheek. "Gexln..please don't cry..I don't want my last memories of you to be your tears.." she said quietly. Gexln held back tears as Kaxar had requested, and right as he was about to speak Kaxar interrupted him again. "Listen to me, Gexln. Where i'm going, you can't follow. I just wanted to let you know, just once.." she continued. Gexln could no longer be silent, no longer let himself be interrupted. "Don't talk, save your strength, I'll get you to someone that can heal you!" he exclaimed. Kaxar let out a weak laugh, one that sounded like she was having extreme trouble breathing. "Look at me..I have swords stabbing right through me..I don't think healing is going to cut it..this time" the girl said, struggling for breath. "I can't let you die, I won't let you die!" Gexln cried. Kaxar barely heard the words, all life leaving her body faster than she would've thought. She touched his cheek once again, stroked it gently once. "I just wanted to tell you.." she said, as Gexln's body gave in and she found herself falling again. "I...love you" she whispered quietly. Gexln sat still for a moment, unable to believe Kaxar was dead. His oldest and dearest friend, perhaps more than that, gone..just like that. As much as Gexln wanted to stay strong, even the Nobody of the Dark could not be emotionless forever. He collapsed next to Kaxar in a small, sobbing mess, unable to stop himself. It was then that Xindai's words came into his mind. I accept..after I have killed the one responsible for this..I will join you..I will help you with whatever you need, so long as you help me become strong enough that I never need to suffer again Gexln thought in response. He then got up into a crouching position. The time for tears had passed, the time for vengeance had arrived.The Nobody of the Dark could think of very little he wanted to say to anybody at that point, so instead he expressed his feelings by slamming his right fist into the ground, causing an earth-shattering smash to be heard in a small area. He turned and he glared at Caleb, not with an expression that suggested anger, but one that suggested bloodlust, murder, and inconceivable rage. "CALEEEEEEEEB!" he roared as a great cylinder of darkness engulfed Gexln in an almighty explosion. Debris flew around Gexln and the area he was in, the explosion so fierce it even knocked Caleb off his feet and a moderate distance away from Gexln. The Nobody had delved deeper into the darkness within him than ever before, his power much higher than it ever had been. Once the explosion had subsided, Gexln's skin was entirely black, blood-red eyes could be seen, and darkness itself fumed off Gexln's body. This was not the only change though. In Gexln's right hand, he held his summoned keyblade, Midnight Venture, the keyblade of darkness itself. Gexln turned slowly on the heels of his feet until he faced Caleb. "You...will...die" Gexln hissed. Caleb readied his blade. He felt somewhat bad that Kaxar had been killed, but he had not done it intentionally. What he was about to do to Gexln was without a doubt intentional. "So this is what killed my village...this is what killed my family and friends.." he said, voice trailing off. He looked Gexln right in the eyes, returning his glare with an equal amount of determination and fury. "For all the people that you have killed, for all the lives you have ruined, you will die here Gexln!" he yelled.
I've decided that the time-skip won't happen. While a few of you have said you are okay with it, the fact is that two characters are currently engaged in combat and it may cause problems if that was simply skipped. I will, however, do my best to keep this rp going. I'm sorry that I haven't been posting much as of lately, I've recently joined a lot of rps and personal problems are conflicting with my ability to post in majority of them. I won't go into detail with them, but I will just say that there are currently quite a lot of problems at home, one of them being my internet is slowing to a crawl quite frequently, which makes it phenomenally hard to actually post sometimes. Like I said though, I will try to do what I can to get this thing going a little faster, I thank you for your patience, all of you. This is only my second RP that I've ever run, and I admit I'm both still learning and I kinda suck at it, but I am trying and I am surprised people have stuck with it for even this long in all honesty. I may be rambling but my words are sincere, so thank you and I will try to put up a post today or tomorrow, preferably today. Those underground mages are going to absolutely love us aren't they? They must be earning a lot of money from this rp........
Glen sat up and blinked twice. One moment, he had been seeing stars, the next he had had some potion thing thrown at his unconscious body. Regardless of the fact that the phoenix down had revived him, his back was still aching; having a glass bottle thrown at him had reeeeeeally hurt. He rubbed his back slightly as he stood up. "I appreciate the help, but next time I think just giving me the damn thing will do instead of throwing it at me" Glen said. Now was not the time to focus on his injuries though, not while Shan-Yu was still standing, not while Mulan's world was in danger. He didn't like Mulan, and he felt no obligation to help her, but he wasn't going to stand by and let someone threaten someone else's life. Where there was danger, he would stop it and not let someone else do it. He remembered the last time he had let someone else do that. The last time had been when his father had gone to stop the heartless attacking Aatarsilu, and that had also been the last time he had seen his father alive. Glaring at Shan-Yu now, Glen raised his keyblade. Maybe it wasn't the smartest idea to charge head-on towards Shan-Yu, maybe it would wind up in his death or at least being knocked out again, but it was something that Glen felt he needed to do. He had to stop Shan-Yu, no matter the cost. He ran over to Shan-Yu and immediately his keyblade began releasing flames that flowed around its shape, flames that would sear Glen's enemies. The keyblade wielder swung his keyblade in a mighty arc aimed for Shan-Yu's skull, utilising his Flame Strike ability with all the strength of a raging fire.
The last book I read was one called "The Trap", which is part of a trilogy of books; the first being "The Hunt" and the second being "The Prey". The plot in general is pretty good in my opinion, it goes back to the vampires being bloodthirsty, hungry monsters sort of thing, but at the same time it explores the author's interpretation of what their everyday life would be like if they were unaware of humans being there, it's really quite good.
I've never heard of them before this moment, but if their other sounds sound anything like the ones you have linked, then I have a feeling i'm going to be listening to them A LOT more.
Individual contacts you simply right click on the contact you wish to rename, then click "Rename" and type in what you want, followed by a press of the enter key. Same thing with group conversations, it's easiest if you use the conversations under the "recent" tab for that though. Entire lists? However over the list name itself, and to the right of it should appear an icon that looks like a pencil writing something. Click that, type what you want in, then press enter. Done.
Top ten? No idea. In my opinion though, my top 3 in no particular order would be.. Xemnas, Riku, and Young Xehanort. Although my short list could be extremely biased. I just feel that their fighting styles are the "strongest" really.
Simple, yet effective. I like it. The outline is really good, I think you've captured the shape of him quite well, you should be proud of what you've done here for sure. I'm not even really a fan of Doctor Who but yeah, this artwork is refreshingly different from a lot of other pics I've seen made for it. I agree with the text being maybe a little too bright, it makes it kind of hard to see with the writing style aswell, but at the same time I think it simply wouldn't look as good if it were anything different.
Wow, I never really thought about it like that. That's kind of creepy, but it's also kinda true..I doubt it was intentional to have it like that though. I thought of another theme though. It may have been said, it may not have been, my internet refuses to load majority of the posts on here for some reason (surprised it lets me post honestly), but one of the themes I like about it is also the whole message of caring about your friends. I love how Sora is willing to risk everything to protect and save his friends and those connected to them.
I look forward to seeing this when it's done, I've always wanted to play Final Mix on an emulator, but the japanese was murdering me, so thank you for at least getting started on this!
Banned for taking the name of a famous videogame character.
I consider them, and have always considered them, as holidays. They are days that for me are different to other days, so they stand out for me. Also, so long as it's an annual day that is in commemoration of something positive I see it as a holiday. Heck, I even think of "talk like a pirate day" as a holiday, so maybe i'm not the best when it comes to them, but that is my two cents.
I think what your best bet is is to equip as many AOE spells and abilities as you can, and use them. Probably take as many ethers as you can with you into it, you're going to need it. That's what I did and it worked like a charm, I hope that you have the same amount of success as I did.
I've tried quite a few of the KH games on proud, and I haven't completed one of them, so good luck to you. My suggestion is take time to learn the attack patterns and react accordingly, and don't rush anything or you may regret it. May the odds be ever in your favor.
I would have to say Chain of Memories. There's no doubt in my mind about that, it took me months on months to finish CoM and for some reason I decided to try my hand at Re:CoM recently, let me tell you I have regrets about starting that.
Damnit Base I really love this writing, I'm dissapointed it seems to have stopped. RESSURECT IT :D I need more things to read and this was one of my favourites!
Wow, I love this small series you've got going, it blends together pretty well and it makes for a good read! Keep up the good work, looking forward to reading more!
Better than the bosses in days, definitely, those were just plain annoying. Although sometimes the music isn't particularly suitable I like the mood that it sets you in (especially TWTNS). The combat itself against most of them is somewhat easier because of the flowmotion system, but I felt that i really enjoyed the fights a little more, I don't know they were more fun. Perhaps it was because I never really played birth by sleep and it was more or less my first introduction to the command system. Overall...i'm going to say they improved on the bosses for this game.
