Well, considering I never used the Mirage Arena for anything other than a place to have my butt handed to me in BBS... I wouldn't care, honestly.
@Krowley is a red reporter...so a beet?
@Llave deserves a million votes jk i luv u <3
Makaze isn't a newbie. @Misty what says you? He should be removed in my opinion.
"Yes and then they all will die and only one will remain. And inside that one, the twenty hearts will reside and conflict one another, eventually causing the x-blade to appear and we beat the big baddies, right?" Ananta said. She didn't like this plan and she certainly didn't want any of the children to be sacrificed for this. Crossing her arms, she closed her eyes and thought. "But I might be wrong, seeing as I do not understand the x-blade completely. Nobody does, seeing as the only occurrence or hint of it happened centuries ago. All we can do is hope and pray that what I said doesn't come true and we don't lose those twenty souls. It would be quite tragic." she said, opening her eyes again. Scratching her head, she looked at R. "Do you have an idea of the twenty who will be used for it?" she questioned R. "Do not even mention Anta or I will kick you out of my world." she frowned at him. She didn't want Anta to be caught up in all of this. He was already pretty much in the middle of it, she didn't want to hear he had to join too. It'd be suicide. Well, at least the guy was a little nicer. After he introduced himself, Anta felt a little light bulb go off in his head. "Oh, you're Kross?" he said, standing straight and approaching him. "Mom used to talk about you to me and how you were a really strong Mystic way long before I was born. She always said she missed you..." he smirked. "I wonder what happened?" he thought, turning to his mom, talking with the other adults. "Then again, she's not very good at telling what a person is feeling. She can tell if they're sad, sure, but she can't tell if they have some kind of a feeling for her. That's why when she married my dad, it was all over for them. Though, I'm happy you're back. Maybe she'll be happier now." he said, crossing his arms. Anta saw Kross' keyblade and blinked. "Well, yours looks pretty different compared to mine or hers. But she says everybody gets this kingdom key or whatever." he said, calling his keyblade out. "She says she'll give me a keychain soon, but she just hasn't found the right one yet..." he sighed, sending his keyblade off. Then Kross talked about Ananta throwing him for a loop. "You still look like she's throwing you for a loop. The way you look at her and all..." Anta pointed out.
Ananta had peeked a little to see that cross touched the plant and seemed a little happier now. 'Well, at least that helped him a bit.' she thought to herself. Hiding her face again, she began to wonder how she would talk to him and try to be friends. It was pretty hard to do so, seeing as so many of them came from so many different places. For instance, her world was far more advanced than any other world she had seen and heard of so far. It was a little surreal and she didn't like it all too much. Back on her world, it was easier to be friends or acquaintances with people because of common interests, but here it was very different. Gripping her legs tightly, Ananta wasn't expecting Kross to touch her knee. Her head jolted up to peer at Kross. "Nothing is wrong, honest." she said smiling at him. "Just trying to think, is all. Sorry if I made you worry." she said, scratching her head. Letting her legs stretch out in front of her, Ananta looked at Kross and blinked. "So, you must have had a very natural world then? I mean, it must have had lots of plants, right?" Ananta asked, clearly not remembering Kross not wanting to talk about it right now. "My world had a lot of natural beauty. I may not have mentioned it, but we have lots of parks and the houses and buildings have tons of grass around them. My house was pretty big and we had a huge yard in the front and the back. I was going to inherit it once I became a Sage." Ananta smiled at Kross. "Maybe some day I can take you to my world and show you? And then you could do the same for me?"
Makes sense. Whatever works for you guys :3
They gotta make money somehow, I guess.
A bot on the front page. What a treat. Stay classy <3
What a stretched definition, lol. Traditional used to mean "drawn and scanned" while digital meant "drawn on the computer"xD
So, what do you guys mean by traditional here? Drawn irl and edited on the computer or..?
Wtf Jayn, why do all the polls have cute emotes god.
What glider recolors?! Oh god, I missed something.
Kingdom Hearts SOS has graphics?
Ananta's eyes stuck to Kross like glue and she saw how uncomfortable she had made him. The guy even held himself for whatever reason! Looking down at the ground, she listened to him some more and she could easily tell he was uncomfortable around here. Glancing back up, Ananta opened her mouth to speak, but was cut short by Hikaru coming from the elevator. He seemed to be preoccupied with talking to Anora, Raisor, and Aden, considering what he had just said. Ananta's eyes glanced over Kross and then returned to Hikaru. She could tell he was referring to those three, simply because of the way he called out to them. Not wanting to interrupt their reunion, Ananta grabbed Kross by the arm and stepped off towards a corner of the Main Hall that had a few plants sitting around each other. Letting go of Kross' arm, she turned to him and smiled awkwardly. "I know it isn't like being outside, but I thought you'd be a little happier with some plants nearby." she chuckled, clearing her throat and leaning against the wall. Slowly, Ananta slid down until she was on the floor. 'What do I say now? Can't ask him about his world, seeing his reaction and all, so what do I say?' she sighed, tracing circles around on the floor. Pulling her legs closer to her body, Ananta crossed her arms on her knees and hid her face away, racking her brain for things to talk with Kross about. 'I really want to talk to Kross, I want to make friends, but the last time I tried, the person hated me. So now I'm better off not trying.' she sighed heavily. This was going to be difficult.
Added some new stuff!
Ananta smiled, finishing the energy bar, and turned to throw away the wrappers in a nearby trash bin. Returning to the group, she listened to them talk. Turning to Kross, Ananta smiled lightly. "It's alright, you have friends and we have all the warmth you need." she nodded, patting his head. Raisor asked a question now and that caused Ananta to turn towards him and lower her head. "To be truthful, I haven't had anything amazing happen. I...I left my world just as it fell to some dark creatures. All I remember was my mother telling me I possessed the greatest weapon of all. Then I fell down and felt a very warm light. I passed out and appeared in the Castle of Dreams." she scratched her head. Hearing Aden's story about his keyglider caused a light chuckle to escape Ananta's lips. "So you had to hitch a ride with somebody, then?" she asked, placing her hands on her hips. "Don't worry, I had no previous training with my keyblade. Although, I do remember some weird dream I had, but that doesn't matter. Anyway!" she said, clapping her hands. "When I went back to the Land of Departure, I asked Sebastion to give me a few pointers about keygliders." she chuckled. "Not to say I didn't have any accidents, seeing as I hit my head with my keyblade a few times, but after awhile I was able to make my keyglider appear. In fact, if I can time this right, I think I can make my keyblade armor appear..." she said, scrunching her face and holding her keyblade, Spellbinder, in front of her. A light emitted from the end and enveloped her, causing her keyblade armor to appear. It didn't stay around for too long, seeing as it poofed once more. Ananta blinked and frowned. "Well, I guess I can't have it out for a long time without my keyglider or something..." she sighed. "Anyway, I want to relax, Kross, do you want to sit with me?" she asked him, turning her emerald eyes towards him. "I actually would really like to speak with you about your world, if you don't mind."
Ananta walked along with Kross. She could tell he wasn't liking that a younger Beuce and Glen were causing such trouble. Instead of dwelling on it, she shook her head and continued along until they entered the Main Hall. She saw Anta standing around, looking as if he just woke up, and she headed for him quickly. Ananta pulled Anta into a hug, a tight hug, and smiled brightly. Compared to his mother, Anta was a little short. He hadn't exactly gone through puberty yet, but his voice was beginning to crack sometimes. After she finished hugging him, she turned to Kross and watched as he placed a hand on Anta's shoulder. Stepping beside Kross, she whispered into his ear. "Anta doesn't know you, dear, so don't take it personally when he asks who you are." she smiled and turned back towards the Mother Crystal. Stepping up to the gigantic crystal, Ananta placed her hands on it. The surface was wet, with pointed parts underneath that were warm to the touch. The water draining down the crystal was cold, so placing your hands on the crystalline surface was shocking. Closing her eyes, Ananta's crystal gave off a faint glow as she hummed and spoke in a foreign language. Anta's eyes widened as soon as his mother hugged him. This was the first time in awhile they were on their home planet and after waking up from a much needed rest, Anta enjoyed the hug. His arms wrapped around her tightly and let go only when she let go. Looking at his mother, he smiled at her and watched as she talked with a man that had very long, very white hair. His mother was smiling, for whatever reason, and so he tilted his head at this. When the man stepped forward and placed a gentle hand on Anta's shoulder, asking him if he was okay, Anta got a little creeped out and wiggled away from the hand. "Uh...I...don't know you, dude. Who are you?" he asked, frowning.
Ananta waved at Aden and smiled. "Hi Aden." then she heard Anora say the other guy's name. Pointing at Raisor, she confirmed. "So, you're Raisor then?" she said, nodding her head. "Interesting names, guys." she said. Looking at Anora, Ananta tilted her head and raised an eyebrow at her placing a hand over her heart. Not wanting to turn things sour, Ananta chose not to press Anora as to why she put her hand on her chest. Instead, she listened to what Anora said next. "The princesses all have a light in them that's very warm and bright. I felt that in Castle of Dreams. It's like they have no darkness inside of them; like their hearts are just filled to the brim with light. It was a nice feeling." Ananta said, smiling sweetly at that. Perking up, she heard Anora's small speech about light winning over darkness. "You're right, Anora. Light can most definitely win over darkness. There's always a small light in the deepest darkness, I'm sure of it." Ananta nodded. Blinking her eyes when Anora asked about her world, Ananta frowned at it. It still hurt that Crystallis was gone, but she couldn't let that cloud her heart. Instead, she looked up at Anora again. "Well, our world is pretty odd compared to a lot of other worlds. Everyone has some magic capability that they apply into their every day life. Everything on Crystallis is made up of energy, as is everything else in the universe. The Mother Crystal on my world would create and gather energy and give it back to us through the water that pours from the bottom point of the Mother Crystal. In turn, we drink the water and use it to water the plants and food and everything else. People on our world are all able to use magic freely and for whatever they want. In turn, the crystals around our necks-" she held hers up as an example "-all house the energy that we collect from eating, breathing, and living on Crystallis. If we stay away from our world...we get a little deprived. I mean, naturally, everything has energy like I said, so eating food and drinking water helps restore a little, but my people need a lot of energy to live. I'm fine, though, since I eat like crazy. Speaking of eating..." Ananta said, reaching into her pocket. She pulled out an energy bar and began to eat it. "Oh, and to your question of the paths we chose, I of course chose Mystic. I sacrificed the path of the Guardian." Ananta finished saying, eating her energy bar happily. "I could go on forever about Crystallis, but I'll stop for now. Don't want to bore you and all." she laughed, pulling more energy bars out. "Anybody want one?" she offered.
Ananta smacked herself in the face at Gexln calling her a...well...anyway, she couldn't believe he would be so arrogant to base his assumptions of her strength on outward experiences. "Don't worry Glen, I'm pretty sure you're not stronger. What with you losing your heart and becoming a Nobody and all...but that's neither here nor there, right now, we shouldn't be fighting." she said, her keyblade disappearing in a storm of light. She watched R appear and cause Gexln to fly off. Ananta was unfazed by this and simply shielded her face from the gust of air. Looking up, she saw a very angry R yell at Beuce and Gexln. Beuce admitted defeat, apparently, and started to walk off towards the Mother Crystal Main Hall. Ananta crossed her arms and walked over to Kross. Standing by him, she turned to R. "What are you planning? I dislike it when plans are made and I'm not told...especially if they're made on my own world." she said, giving R a stern look. "I don't distrust you, I am just wary of you." she said, nodding. "But, I will allow it. Kross." she said, turning to him. "Let's join the others at the Main Hall." she smiled, grabbing his hand and giving him a kiss on the cheek. She skipped off with Kross towards the Main Hall. Anta had actually been laying under the Mother Crystal this entire time. Dawn and Dusk stopped talking to him and he had no idea what he wanted to do. So he did what he did best, sleep under the Mother Crystal. When he awoke, he noticed people were gathering underneath the Mother Crystal and so he decided to walk over. Groggily, he rubbed his eye and yawned. "What's going on, why are you all here?" he asked, stretching and looking at nobody in particular.
