If you tell me it's old, I swear I'll imagine you jumping off a bridge. Do your worst.

You're awesome reference to Douglas Adams literature makes me want to hug you, my spiffy friend. Take care. :glomp:
"That's unfortunate," Emiliana said sympathetically. She was going to ask how he came to live in Cala, when she heard the commotion becoming louder. "You're dead!" she could hear a deep voice shout from somewhere back in the city. "That doesn't sound good..." she said in almost a sing-song tone. She looked up at Risit with nervousness. The sounds of violence were unignorable, (OOC: lol did I just make up a word thar?) but there was no way of telling whether Risit was the type of person to investigate a situation like that.
^ Ultimately this. Humanity wouldn't be totally screwed. There would obviously be smarter and more mature people 16 and under, but there would likely be a fair amount of chaos as well. It would be hard, and it would take work to survive. Kids would actually have to get off their asses to help themselves, and we'd have to work together. But I don't think we'd be doomed.
Zoboomafoo whenever I see it on. That was my absolute favourite show when I was wee. I also watch Little Bear sometimes, not only for the memories but because I love the music and the home-y feeling it gives me. C: ... You know they're brothers, right?
****, this battle was over when this happened.
OOC: 8D Imma call him Alaric in the naration... just to avoid confusion, I suppose. xD BIC: "Not that I can remember," Emiliana replied. "I was born and raised in Welk. My family consists only of farmers and farmers' wives." She wasn't sure if she should be telling this new aquaintance of her background, but she continued. Anyways, it chased away the awkward silences. "I believe I developed this 'gift' during a storm one evening. I was struck by lightning, but to my surprise I wasn't injured. In fact, I felt stronger than I ever had before. I've been electrified ever since," she said, holding out one hand in front of her and small staticy flickers of electricity danced over her hand. "I can create bolts of lightning from thin air, anytime I want. But they look fancier when it's cloudy. Here, want to test it out?" She smirked and pointed at Alaric so that her fingertip was a couple of inches away from his arm.
That's a very tough one. If I was in that situation, and had about 3 seconds to think it through, I would almost certainly save the one I love most. But if I had more time to think about it, I'd probably be in a pickle. My loved one would probably want me to save the doctor (assuming I know the doctor isn't lying to save his ass), thus saving millions of lives. I'd be heartbroken no matter which decision I make.
Emiliana raised her eyebrows a bit in surprise, but she chuckled. "I don't think that's quite how it works, but fine. The name's Emiliana Haines. And now it's your turn, strange man."
Neville could have done it in 4 books.
UBER MISTAKE ON MY PART: It's called "How to Train Your Dragon", not "How to Tame Your Dragon". If a mod/admin happens by this, could you kindly fix the title of this thread, please and thank yous? :>
Plot: From the studio that brought you "Shrek," "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda" comes "How to Train Your Dragon" - a comedy adventure set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, based on the book by Cressida Cowell. The story centers around a Viking teenager named Hiccup, who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen's smarts and offbeat sense of humor don't sit too well with his tribe or its chief... who just happens to be Hiccup's father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup's one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe. It looks cute. ::L: It has the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, and America Ferrara.
Emiliana smiled back politely. She sensed something that seemed like excitement; something she hadn't felt so strongly since she first came to Aimat. She turned her head, hearing a commotion coming from somewhere on the other side of the city. I don't know what that's about, she thought, but it doesn't sound very friendly. "One last thing," she said, looking directly at him. "You haven't properly introduced yourself yet." She struggled to keep her smile from turning into a smirk.
If you had better timing, that could have been a spiffy Halloween costume.
Emiliana could tell that she needed to make up her mind quickly. This odd man didn't seem to be the kind to have much patience. "All right," she said finally. "I'll come with you." She slung her pack over her shoulder. "Except you haven't told me exactly where we're going yet," she added, trying to hide a smile.
The man had piqued her curiousity. Emiliana did enjoy experimenting with her magic, and whenever she encountered another of the Shau, they would put on great shows and earn more money. But that rarely happened these days. She liked the freedom that she had, but she never knew where her next meal was coming from, or where she would rest each night. The offer was tempting, but the man who made such an offer was very odd. Just as she was about to answer, he went into a kind of trance for a moment. She didn't know what to do. When he finally came out of it, he seemed to her to be almost embarassed. He was very strange, and she wondered where he came from and what his goal was. But she wanted to give him a chance, as he was giving her one. "What will I be doing?" she asked cautiously.

"Thank you, sir," Emiliana said as she heard a man put some coins onto the cloth near her feet. The lightning bolt vanished, and she slowly lowered and held her hand infront of her face. There was some visible bolts of static dancing across her fingertips. She looked down at the coins, not answering the man's question yet. Involuntaruly, she let out a "whoa" under her breath. Ther were gold coins. She had received the occasional silver coin, but hardly ever any gold. She looked up at the man who had left the coins. It was the same one who she had bumped into earlier. "Um... sure," she replied eventually. She knelt down to fold up the cloth so that it resembled a bag, and tied it shut. She put it under her tunic and looked back at the mysterious man, waiting.
So my sister's boyfriend may or may not have that thar swine flu. The test results haven't come back yet, so we're not sure. Thus, my sister might have swine flu. Thus, I may have it. BUT I just got one of those spiffy vaccinations today. However, they take a week to two weeks to fully take effect. What do you think will happen to me?
