Holy ****, so did I. And people wonder why I like it...
She heard him say his name. "Lucrix..." she repeated. Having committed the name to memory, she gulped as her keyblade armor reformed around her. She even wore a helmet this time to make sure she wouldn't be affected by the darkness. Stepping through, she arrived in time to see Beuce snatch Anta's crystal. Fortunately, the boy had latched onto Beuce and was dragged along with him. Sighing, she was prepared to head over there, but then she saw Karina. Her eyes widened as she looked at her old friend standing there in the flesh. Tears swelled up in her eyes as she approached her. "K-Karina...?" she spoke from behind the helmet, pain in her voice. Touching her shoulder, Ananta embraced her. "My friend...you are back!" she had begun crying behind the helmet. She didn't want to let her go, for she missed Karina very much. Natana had long since left the main group. The resulting shockwave of the attacks had caused her to want to approach the main fighting. The large dragon held her attention mostly as she watched it shoot a Dark Firaga at a girl. Acting fast, she zipped over and stood on the back of the dragon. She wasn't trying to injure it, she just wanted to see what he planned on doing. "Whatever you are gonna do, at least make it entertaining?" she asked of him. "Oh, we haven't met, huh? I'm Natana." she smirked at the dragon. Anta was yanked rather hard when his crystal was removed from his persons. Reacting quickly, he latched himself to Beuce as he ran over to some dude that was knocked out at least 5 pages ago. Jumping off, he looked at the fallen warrior. And then Beuce stuck his crystal in the guy's nose. Face scrunching with disgust, Anta snatched the crystal back and poured a Water spell over it to wash the crystal. "If you're gonna use it, at least use it right you a**hole." he spoke, holding it firmly in his hand. "Who's this guy anyway? He isn't familiar to me at least." he asked, placing the crystal on the man's chest and pressing it firmly in. Light poured from the crystal and seeped into the wounds of this warrior, beginning the healing process from within.
Doku turned her phone screen off and looked at Valinton. "I already have my ride coming, he will be here soon enough." she spoke. Grabbing Valinton's hand, she lead him trough the "STAFF ONLY" door and headed back to the surface. Up top, the same car from before had arrived. Sitting inside, she looked at the same man from earlier sitting across from her and Valinton. His gleaming eyes looked angry as he fanned himself hard. "This wasn't meant to happen..." he remarked, closing the fan and glaring at Doku. "You are not injured, are you?" he asked. Doku shook her head, "No, my Lord. Only a little shaken." she responded. In reality, she could go for a nice, long soak at home. "I would hope not, seeing as you had this brute defending you." he frowned. The car began to drive away as she leaned onto Valinton. The car bumped slightly here and there, but otherwise it was a smooth, relaxing ride. The ornate man gave a look at Valinton from behind his fan, seemingly scoffing at him. The car stopped at the edge of the Idenshi district. In front of the car was a very traditional looking Japanese home. Other than being surrounded by a great fence, it looked rather normal from above. Doku waited for her Lord to leave, as well as Valinton, before she attempted to leave. Unfortunately, she had a little difficulty. Waiting for her Lord to head inside, she looked at Valinton. "Please help me, Val..." she reached a hand out, great pain apparent on her face.
Would you rather I did this?
Yes.
I'm unoriginal, therefore I do not use macros.
Definitely OF.
Don't forget, he also runs an RP. So there's that.
The worst part is I was able to find said addon for xenforo and it works for other people...
But didn't hear wear one at the start of Ventus' story in BBS and wear a cloak at the same time?
"Ice cold..." she commented, as Celsius yanked her towards the restaurant. Pele stood there as she listened and heard Celsius order. Looking at a menu, she tried her best to find something that was cold or at least cool enough. Tapping her chin and reading the menu for a good five minutes, she finally ordered something. "I'll have...a number 14. With the coldest drink ya can give me, please." she ordered. Afterwards, she stood there next to Celsius, not sure if they were going to sit yet or not. "Ya know, I ain't ta much a fan of the hot stuff...considerin and all. But I guess it's okay ta have somethin hot now and again, even if I ain't gonna taste the heat." She chuckled, sitting down at a table. As soon as she heard Damnation talk to Valinton about fathers, she knew that she had done a horrible job at hiding the fact she was pregnant. "Oh bother..." Doku sighed. Finally, the masked man arrived and was ready to take his slave. But wait, why was he talking to her and why...was she suddenly falling? The first thing she did was turn enough to try and take the hit with her shoulder, wrapping her arms around her stomach to protect herself and close her eyes. She braced herself to hit the ground. However, she felt something much softer than the floor. Opening her eyes, she saw Valinton had caught her. His eyes were looking rather wild as he laid her down. Sitting up, she watched as he flung a sword towards the masked man and rushed off towards him. The cry of pain that erupted from the audience let her know that Valinton had either missed or hit his target. Turning her eyes towards where he ran, she saw one of the purchasers of a slave was impaled. He most likely died in an instant. Doku heaved herself up and made her way off the stage, walking slowly to where Valinton was. Stopping halfway, she watched as the masked man slashed at Valinton. "No!" she cried out, hoping Valinton wouldn't get hurt. Yanking her phone out of her belt, she feverishly dialed a number and began to speak with the person on the other line.
"Sold to the masked mutant in the back." Doku announced, pointing towards the hidden Caleb. "Auction is over, you may all leave. If you purchased a slave today, come and grab them and pay your money now." she announced, watching the crowd disappear. Many stayed in the room, however, talking amongst themselves about what Damnation had announced as well as catching up on things. Doku stood there, handing off each slave and getting the money they were worth from each person. Oerva was last and Doku was curious as to why the masked man hadn't come and grabbed her. She kept her hand on Oerva's arm and dug her nails into the Mutant's skin. She really wanted the girl gone, seeing as selling her left a bad taste in her mouth. At the same time, Doku just couldn't wait for this whole auction to be over and to be able to go home and relax, finally. Looking over at Damnation and then to Valinton, she nodded towards them both, smiling meekly. She couldn't let them notice her pain, she didn't want to seem weak to them. Especially to Damnation, seeing as he put a certain amount of faith into her already. Adjusting her belt, she looked at the Mutant and asked her a question, waiting for the masked man still. Her hand loosed and soon let go of the girl as she spoke to her. "What did you do to Damnation to be put in this auction? He does not do this all too often, you know..." she sighed.
Pele emerged from her apartment and shut the door behind her. Turning to lock it, she placed her arms on her hips and smiled at Celsius. "Now, where do ya wanna go? Just lead the way, Queenie." she smirked at what she just called her. It probably wasn't the best thing to do, but she didn't want to keep calling her the same old thing. It got pretty dull and boring doing so. Besides, she was named after a unit of measurement for temperature, who the heck does that sort of thing anymore? Though, she decided that maybe calling her Queenie might be a bit much... Doku stopped to let Damnation make his speech. She felt a little awkward being here, seeing as she was a Spirox user, but even she hated the fact she was one in the first place. Scrunching her face and looking down at her stomach, she looked at the protrusion and frowned. As of now, she was doubting if this plan of hers would work and Valinton would stay and be supportive. But at the same time, she knew it would only be a little longer. Either way, she stood there as she felt a pang of pain shoot through her body. She was silent until Damnation was done speaking out to the mutants at this auction. Doku tried her best to hide her pain until the auction was over. After that, she could finally go home and rest with Valinton. They would also talk of many things tonight, but suffice to say, she still had to go to work tomorrow morning and that girl would be there most likely. Mentally facepalming, she remembered Xaria and cursed herself. Hopefully that girl won't suspect a thing about her being pregnant. Maybe if she wore a ring and said Valinton was her husband...? Thoughts were pooling in her head about what she could say, but in the end she could only stand there and hope that Damnation wouldn't notice anything. At least, not until the pregnancy was over. Day by day that was getting harder, unfortunately, so she knew she would have to start wearing clothing that she could try and hide it. Having finished his speech, Doku straightened herself and held the microphone as she approached the first slave. It was a young man, he seemed about seventeen and had auburn hair. He wasn't very handsome and had quite a bit of acne. A mutant that had only one eye won him. She was happy and immediately paid and left. The second slave was an upgrade from the last, but still not beautiful. Each slave got increasingly more beautiful until they reached Oerva. She was the most stunning and each audience member were stunned. None of them raised her flags, mostly because they knew she was a mutant just by the looks of her. Doku turned to the girl and then back at them. "Starting price is $25,000. Raise your flag if you would like to bid on her." Slowly, the audience were bidding on her. Doku gave them time to make their bids as well, seeing as she knew they would be hard pressed to purchase a mutant.
Doku nodded in response to Valinton. Turning back towards the cage, she looked at the slaves that were locked away. The green haired girl seemed like she would fetch for a high price. The others were nothing to write home about. They were all either Spirox, Mutant, or Human. Either way, Doku stood at the gate and opened it. Walking inside, she held heavy chains that she began to attach to each of the slaves. Chains were on their hands, feet, and necks. Each shackle connected and all the slaves were attached to each other. This was so none would be able to escape without pulling everyone else. But who would want to escape anyway? If they tried, Valinton would just force them back into the chain anyway. Doku saved the heaviest of the shackles for the little green haired girl. She walked to her and attached her to the rest, making sure they were locked extra carefully. "Seeing as you are the prettiest, I will sell you last little lady. And for a high price." she added. Standing up, she began to lead the small line of slaves out. In total, there were about ten of them. "Lock the cage, Val." she called to him as she lead the line down the hall. The auction hall wasn't very far from the cage, luckily, so there was little doubt that any of the slaves would try and escape. She Doku approached the hall, she could already hear the crowd that had formed. Smirking at this, she walked into the door that read "STAFF ONLY" and waited for each slave to go inside before she too followed behind. Shutting the door, she made sure nobody else saw and locked it. Doku continued to lead the slaves down this hall until they reached the back of the stage. "Alright, each of you are going to be sold depending on how you look, okay? Only one of you will fetch the highest price and that should be an honor. Do not worry, there is always a chance that you will be bought by somebody that will not use you for something gruesome." she spoke. Reaching for signs behind her, she began to write prices down on each. The cheapest slave was only worth about $2000. She kept walking and hanging signs around their heads until she reached the green haired girl at the end. "Seeing as you are the prettiest of the bunch, you shall be sold for..." she spoke, writing down the price. After hanging it around the girls neck, it read out $250,000. "Be happy you are worth that much. You would have gone for more, but the marks where Val strangled you are still visible. So that took away from your price." she commented, shooting a quick look at Valinton. Leading them onto the stage, she stood at the podium off to the side and began to speak into the microphone. "Okay everyone, thank you for coming to the 92nd Slave Auction! Today, we have both affordable and expensive prices that we expect you to pay as soon as this auction is over. Now, let us get started!" she spoke, smiling.
"The truth...?" she questioned. The only thing she knew of this war was that it would end. It would end horribly and many would lose their lives while a few survived and would live to tell the tale. Then, they too would die and the tale would soon become a story or even a myth. Perhaps, the story would come to repeat itself. Whatever the case, Ananta couldn't help but feel like she should agree with Lucrix. "I am sorry...but I do not believe you have told me your name. If you have, it has slipped my mind. I feel like two people, no matter if they are enemy or friend, should at least know the name of the person they are talking to. My name is Ananta." she spoke to him. Time had passed long enough for her to calm down and regain some energy, but she needed to leave this place if she wanted to regain the crystalline energy she had spent to travel to this war. "I never said everyone would survive, either. I know some are going to die or have already died. I may even die." she nodded at that. "But, I know I do not want to go through this war without at least trying to not die. My son got that from me, I suppose, seeing as he was beaten pretty badly last I saw of him." she chuckled.
Sorry! :(
Yours is not all that different. They both take you to random threads. So, really, this will be rejected too.
"Okay good, cuz my apartment's right here." she pointed to the building behind them. Walking over, she stood there a moment to let Celsius catch up before heading inside. This building looked decrepit on the outside, but was fairly well maintained on the inside. Nothing seemed old and about to fall apart, so there was no fear of being killed by a falling piece of wood. Pele stopped at the mailboxes and pulled out some mail from one of them. Flipping through it quickly, she shrugged and stuck it all in her bag. Whilst in the bag, she pulled out three baggies of Spectro rings. They glowed softly as she placed them in a few boxes along with the mail of other guests. Finishing the box, she began to head up the stairs. She only walked up one flight and arrived at her door. Opening it, she looked at Celsius, "Stay out here if ya want. Don't gotta come inside, but I ain't shuttin it either, so come in if ya want." Unlocking the door, she pushed it open to reveal a rather tidy apartment. The living room was plain and had some old furniture strewn about. Two couches and a tv were in the room, with a mirror on the wall and a bookcase by the window. The dining room was blocked out of view by a curtain, possibly to keep any cold air contained in the living room. The hallway also had a curtain blocking it, as Pele walked under it and into her spare bedroom. While in there, she sat her bag down and looked around at all the things. The door had many locks on it, all requiring different keys and combinations, so as to keep just anybody out. What she kept in here was all the merchandise she was selling. Stolen Spectro rings, drugs, among other illegal things. "Ah, shoot, I gotta sell some of this...oh well." she spoke to herself as she left the room, locking it back up. "Of course we had gotten drunk and fooled around, that is both on our hands." she spoke. Though, she did not know the one slave who dared to talk would open her mouth at the worst of times. Jumping in place, practically, Doku turned around and saw a mutant girl behind the bars with green hair. She shot a glare at the girl, mad that she was talking to them and trying to butt into their conversation, though they really shouldn't have had such in a place like this in the first place. Shaking her head, she noticed Valinton had walked away and was dealing with the green haired girl. Doku only stood there and watched as he strangled her. Frowning, she was about to tell him to stop when he did so by himself. Blinking at him, confused, she kept her eyes on him as he walked back to her. He stopped and kept his face darkened, so as to not show any emotion towards her. Sighing softly, she walked over to the cage and looked at the slave mutant. "Whatever you did to be put in this cage, you just angered the only people that may have let you out..." she spoke with a monotone voice. "Luckily, you can wait a moment before I deal with you, wretch." Doku stood up, using the bars as support and turned back to Valinton. Reaching up, she placed a hand on his cheek and rubbing his face gently. Her other arm reached around and gave him a slight hug, to try and calm him. "If you want, we can talk of this in private, where we will not be disturbed." she suggested. "But we first have to do this auction. Once we are in private, we can talk all we want without disturbance." Doku didn't let go of him, at least not yet.
Ananta couldn't tell what her teammates were trying to acheive. They seemed to be all over the place, but at the same time, they were working. Ananta herself was standing there, about ready to just send a lightning bolt towards Gilgamesh. She didn't like standing in the back, attempting to defend, but she knew she was weak and couldn't do much in the way of physical damage. All she had was her magic and that caused her to doubt herself. She doubted that in the near future, she would be of any use. She felt like she needed to just give up. Giving up, however, was not a good thing, she thought. If she gave up, she would die and well, that wasn't what she wanted to do. Not before restoring her world that is. But she also had friends here that shared a common bond with her and she needed to protect them the best she could. Looking at each of them, she thought about what they meant to her. Suffice to say, the only one here that meant anything was Beuce but even then that was stretching it. Lowering her keyblade, she scratched her head and played with one of the braided pieces of hair. What could she do next, what? Could she try and cast lightning and do some damage, but at the sacrifice of a chance to protect Wart, Goofy, and herself? Or could she rush forward and stab Gilgamesh with an ice shard in the hopes that his arm would freeze over? The second part was doubtful, seeing as she just wasn't strong enough. Gripping her keyblade, she realized all the doubt from before, the doubt that she was useful, was coming back to her. Shaking her head, she slashed the keyblade in the air. She was mad at herself and only herself for being weak. Holding her arm up, Ananta began to gather cold air around her hand. The cold was stinging and she was sure she might have a frozen hand, but she didn't want to rely on her keyblade so much. As soon as she thought enough ice had formed, she shot a bolt of blizzard straight at Gilgamesh, even going so far as to say "Blizzard!" with her spell as well.
