@Tummer; Truth. Truth or Dare? May be short.
I searched teacups the other day. I had been getting the same Teavana ad since then. Until I reinstalled AdBlock.
@Makaze; The Beast: Part Seven Part One |Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five | Part 5.5|Part Six | Part Seven (set up) You know you must leave quickly. The villagers are getting louder and more ferocious, shrieking all sorts of accusations at you. Or so you think. It starts off with the loud roar of Noroz's voice yelling at you to open the door and claiming you've kidnapped Saxima. Things like this go on for a while, and then you hear 'murderous witch', 'give us the witch'! Your eyes glance down at Saxima for a moment. This is all over a witch hunt? Before you can turn to PaW, demanding he explain, you rationalize with yourself and decide to focus on escaping. Hurriedly, the four of you make it out of the room. What? and PaW trail closely behind you as you descend deeper into the heart of the castle. The stairwells twist and glimmer beneath you, illuminated by the wall-mounted candles on both sides of you. You've explored the castle before, but it almost seems different now. As if, despite your occasional wandering, the walls and ceiling haven't ever really been alive until now. It's almost as if you haven't been alive until you met her. This wasn't an ideal situation for anyone, but at least you could feel your heart beating. You travel a bit further before stopping at a large portrait. You can't exactly remember how you knew to stop here. Yes, you have explored the castle before, but only briefly, right? ...Right? You can't remember much lately. Not how to break the spell, not how you knew where the secret entrance to the tunnels was...but there's too much adrenaline going through you right now to stop and figure out why. You place a claw on the wall to your right, trailing downwards and then up, until you grasp the bottom of one of the shining candle holders. You tug and retract, listening as the portrait shifts and creaks. Dust tumbles down from the ceiling and you step back, burying Saxima's face into your chest protectively. When the portrait is finished moving, you step forward and into the darkness that awaits you. What? and PaW hesitantly follow, looking at each other curiously. They seem unsure as to whether or not they were permitted to follow you. It's until until you face them yourself and ask them politely to keep up that they comply, tugging the portrait back the way it was and scurrying close to your side. It is pitch dark now. You can hear PaW and What? shift softly beside you, along with Saxima's shallow breathing. You can't hear the cries of the villagers anymore. You're used to silence. It's the darkness that bothers you. You wonder if you could have ripped a candle off of the wall and used it, but it's too late for that now. You slowly move your way through the darkness, keeping an ear out for anything suspicious. You begin to calm down a bit. You're certain the villagers will find their way into the castle shortly. You could only hope they wouldn't find the tunnels. You can feel the slop steepen, dipping at the tips of your toes. You warn the others to be careful and travel on. Saxima whimpers against you and you frown. She had such a vibrancy to her in her consciousness. Seeing her like this was driving you crazy. What could you do to help? Ah...That's right. You turn to PaW, though you can't make him out in this darkness. You ask about his diagnosis. What exactly did he mean by her not being human? And was there anything you could do to help? PaW explains that he may have been rash to deny her humanity and that she is, indeed, a witch of sorts. The way he says it reveals his insecurities about the subject. He tries hard to be unbiased and tolerant, but a shift in his general energy makes you feel uncomfortable. He explains the many types of witches and the dangerous spells and hexes they can create and utilize. He says that a witch is generally a human who makes a contract with the devil to receive unnatural spiritual abilities, and that payment can be given in many forms. Worldly possessions, a soul, mortality, sacrifices. What? figures Chevalier's group is probably after Saxima for being a witch, and for any crimes she may have committed from being so. He reminds you of the issues surrounding witches, and that witches are to be put to death if discovered. At least in some villages. Piecing things together now, you realize she probably left to hide out for a bit, if she truly was a witch. Then again, it could simply be speculation. A misunderstanding. You don't care either way, but you are interested in what type of witch she might be... *Note: All witches will wither and die, slowly, if their contract is violated. Witch of Despondency Price: Contentment. More info: ✿ Unable to ever become truly happy, without dying. ✿ Typically receives strength from making other's unhappy. ✿ Specializes in poisons and curses. Witch of Allurement Price: Fertility. More info: ✿ Unable to ever have children, without both the child and the mother dying. ✿ Unable to ever marry someone, or chose one life-partner, without dying. ✿ Typically receives strength from being intimate with one or several partners at a time. ✿ Specializes in charms and spells. Witch of Mutilation Price: Beauty. More info: ✿ Though maybe not actually physically hideous, no one will ever find her such. Whether she looks like an old hag, or would be considered generally attractive in our world, no one in this truth will ever find her beautiful, and no one is permitted to lie to her. ✿ Typically receives strength from compliments for her other skills. She fishes for them and preforms acts for others, only to hear such things. ✿ Specializes in almost everything. Charms, spells, healing, levitation... Witch of Manipulation. Price: Empathy. More info: ✿ Unable to be understand those around her. Unable to relate. Unable to care. Unable to be compassionate. ✿ Typically receives strength from be emotionally and mentally harming others--and especially being complained to about it. ✿ Specializes in the manipulation, lie-telling, secrecy--all magical forms. For example, if she were to steal a special necklace, even if one visited her home and the necklace was lying right there on the table, no one would ever find it if she didn't want them to. All lies she tells are believed. All secrets are never revealed. Witch of Vitality Price: Mortality. More info: ✿ Unable to die. Will live forever, and ever in the mortal realm. Even if the world was destroyed, she would still be whole and living. Will never achieve any sort of nirvana, or reach any sort of after life. ✿ Typically receives strength from reviving and re-animating the dead. ✿ Skilled in the art of revival and corpse animation. Otherwise specialized in medicines and herbal magick. Witch of Eminence Price: Remembrance. ✿ Unable to remember after a certain period of time. Unable to remember their past and significant events in their lives. Can only remember about a month back at a time. ✿ Typically receives strength from victory. Being right, winning an argument, winning a battle. ✿ Skilled in the art of battle and slaughter. Also skilled with various other common magicks. -- 1. If Saxima is a witch, which one will she be? The qualities listed won't suddenly apply to her, personality wise.

Okay. Thank you for letting me know. c:
The OP is edited with the applications. PM them to me, please.~ I'll work on the tutorials when I get home.
Shot my laptop keyboard.
Crap! I drew your glasses, just forgot to unhide the layer after I colored the eyes. Sorry. xD
Thank you all! C: For those offering to help, I'll give you all more information once I put together those tutorials and work some things out, but I appreciate it. And yeah, its much better to be honest about too busy a schedule than to try anyway, so thank you to you guys too. xD
deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp
I am always awake. :c
Probably not. But I hate being around people, and being active at night prevents me from forced social interaction. >> Um. For the most part,...
Okay. So I'll be 'closing' the poll next week, so keep voting. In the meantime, I'm going to put up 'Happy Birthday'. The deadline will be like three days, but there won't be any slot limit. As long as I get the lines on time, you're in. I was looking for instrumentals at first, but most of them are really horrible and cheesy. So I thought it would be kind of fun to do it acapella. I'll record a reference, and we can all go off of that. At the end, we can all say Happy Birthday from KHV Chorus! whooo....or something fun. Also, KHV chorus is fun as it is, but I think it's time to spice things up a bit. I've been trying to think up some kind of event that doesn't have anything to do with making someone feel bad about their singing capabilities, or microphone quality (in other words, no singing competitions). Some kind of event(s), that keep the consistency we've been having, but mixes things around at certain points. -- On a more serious note...so far with KHV chorus, I have been doing everything completely alone. Mostly because I'm terrified splitting responsibilities, only to have someone not pull through. By running the technical things alone, I've been able to get a video out once a week (minus voting) and always get it out and always pace things accordingly (on my part). But I know not everyone is as obsessive as I am with KHV projects, so I've refused to trust anyone to help me. This project has been amazingly successful and I thank everyone who's ever contributed. You're all incredible people. I never expected anyone to join Still Alive, or hold interest, or mention it out of this thread, or even acknowledge it as a KHV project, lol. So for it to have taken off...I'm beyond grateful. But sometimes I get stressed out. As obsessive as I am, I end up pushing everything--I mean, literally, everything that I can aside to finish a video or mixing lines, or to photoshop, or upload the vid/post the thread/ split the lyrics/etcetc. That was fine to do before I started school (Jan. 3rd). Now I've started pushing homework aside, and my time with Fuzzy Blue aside. I am unhealthily dedicated to you all. >: As some of you know, I have carpal tunnel and recently my wrists have been driving me nuts. I've been using Dragon Voice Recognition software for quite a bit now to stop straining my wrists as often when I'm role playing, but for the past few chorus videos they've literally given out of me. I think I'm getting to a point where I need to rest, and where I genuinely need some help. Even just a little bit. But I will never forgive myself if I start depending on other's and KHV Chorus flops because the team can't come together on time, or someone drops out, and everything dies. IOW; if what happened with RP Idol happens with KHV Chorus because everyone has lives and no one is as crazy as Jayn. Anyway. I'm going to start making up some tutorials, and opening up applications for the following positions; Animator; You do the chorus video. Mixer; You receive all of the lyrics (mp3s and wavs) and put them all together. Graphic Artist; You make the photoshop images. This doesn't mean I won't do any of these things anymore, I will, lolol. But as you guys can see, I try to keep everything in a schedule. We're on a break right now, but for the most part it's 3-weeks and then a break. Week 1; (Top voted song). Week 2; (Randomized song). Week 3; (Second top song). > Voting. So keeping this in mind, it will never be sprung on anyone. You guys all know how it works pretty much, lol. Anyway, I'm still thinking...I'll keep in constant contact with anyone who helps me, constantly. You'll have my phone number and everything if you need me. The only requirement would be dedication, to keep this running as smoothly as it has been and to come together as a team. I'm sorry I can't offer anyone anymore than being credited in the video and such, and some reputation when I can give it, but I hope there's someone here that will help out a bit once applications are posted. I appreciate any and all who read this. Thank you guys.
If you want to block him specifically, adding him to 'Ignore' will prevent you from seeing what he writes on your profile, as well as around the...
You. You and your love declarations for me, scattered around the forums. They have made my day several times over. I will be returning the sweetness shortly, my dear. /kukukulurklurklurk. <3
Dude. I'm sorry. Spoiler: Jayn had a good day Spoiler: She feels weird posting a good day in response to this thread Spoiler: So on a note unrelated to the OP Today, Fuzzy and I went downtown on our own. Had a nice dinner together, saw a movie. Then we went to a cafe and just talked. Had a nice bus ride home, which surprisingly wasn't full of people. Then we walked the rest of the way hand in hand. ...Now I'm doing KHV crap. >:| I also remember one Friday the 13th, my dad came to visit me out of no where. Complete surprise. He had bought two plane tickets, and I spent the weekend at Disneyland. This was, like, in late Elementary school days though. The rest have been relatively average.
Oh wow, congratulations on that at least! You're being strong about it, and I admire you for that. Keep your chin up, you're both still...
How do you feel about it?
Really? Just that blunt? He didn't give a reason...?
WHAT? Why? D:
