Eclectic

Lora stepped out of the shadows, smiling slightly. "Hi, Rann! Sorry if I scared you. What are you doing out here anyway?" She watched him curiously, hanging herself upside down from a tree limb. "Whatcha doin' Rann? Hello, Rann?"

Arielle watched them around a corner, silently cursing to herself. Without Oni, she had no way of getting rid of them. She crept quietly into a nearby room and waited, hoping no one would find her.

Shay looked around at all the Hufflepuffs at the table. She hadn't known what to expect here, but this certainly wasn't it. She looked back up at the staff table, wondering who taught what and how hard their classes would be. Turning back to the table, she saw her favourite dish sitting right in front of her: filet mignon (dern french named foods, don't they know I'm on vacation?! Please ignore spelling mistakes for now). After eating a bit, she turned to Lorissa and started chatting. OOC: Short, I know, but I don't want to post too much.

Name: Lora Faustus Age: looks (and acts) 14, but is 59 Sex: Female Race: Half drow, half high elf Alliance: The Rebellion Weapon: chain scythe, several throwing knives, Appearance: 5'5, ebony skin, long white hair in a single braid. Wears black leather pants, boots, top, and gloves. Bio: Lora has always lived alone, shut off from the rest of the world. She doesn't care for any races in the world, especially humans, and will kill them on sight out of pure spite.

Name: Sharia Phoenix Year: 3 Team: Fight Club Label: punk, pyromaniac Description: see attachment Bio: Sharia's life was perfect. She got straight A's, her parents let her do almost anything she wanted, and she loved her little brother (scary, ain't it?). Then she dicovered the match and accidentally burnt her wonderful home to the ground. She was sent to a psychiatric center and when they could find nothing wrong with her, she was sent home again. She began kickboxing and street fighting in order to stay away from matches. Then she discovered the lighter and burned down her former school's gym. This time, she was sent to live with a distant cousin and now attends Kurookami. She always has two lighters and three books of matches on her at all times.

Name: Lorelai (Lor) Beckett Age: 13 Description: 5'1, light brown skin, hazel eys, red hair (dyed). Usually wears black tank top, low rise jeans, and Tims. Bio: Lor prefers to be left alone and usually draws in class instead of paying attention, though you'd never know by her grades. She's kind of interested in Clyde, but won't admit it. Schedule: Items: textbooks, notebooks, pens, pencils, sketch diary, CD player, several CDs, backpack. -------- Question: Can there be field hockey or lacrosse?

Malik, Jonathan, Steven: All guys I've liked at some point or another. That's the only real reason. Sad, ain't it? Jared: I knew this guy named Jared and he was one of the sweetest guys I've ever known. Marlin: funny guy I know. Sani: a kid I babysit. ----- Nichole: one of my best friends. Makes me think of someone calm, cool, and collected, but who can be a fangirl when she wants to. Alexandria: my name. I don't know why I like it some much, but I do. Marion, Venus, Serena, etc: sports stars I look up to. ----- I also like the names of deities, spirits, that kind of thing. Ebisu, Eshu, and Loki are a few.

Lore persona -------------------------- Name: Serena Faust (I'm obessed with the name Faust. It's true.) Age: looks 17, but is Race: Halfling Class: Thief Weapons: silver longsword with an onyx stone in the hilt, set on ten throwing knives, small dagger Description: Serena looks exactly like Allie. ------------------------- Real life ------------------------- Name: Alexandria (Allie) Bustion Age: 15 Description: Around 5'7, medium brown skin, light brown/hazel eyes, average build, and ruddy brown hair with fire-engine red streaks. Bio: Allie is an overworked perfectionist who only plays Lore to escape the pressures of high school. Slowly, she became more and more obsessed with the game and the world, eventually playing for hours on end after all of her various practices, rehersals, and games.

I knew I was forgetting something. Here's my signup. If I'm missing anything important, tell me. Thanks again Dmitri. ----------- Full name: Filius Flitwick Sex: Male Eyes: grey (?) Hair: white around the edges and bald on top (just a guess I'm making from the books and movies) Distinguishing Features: very short Voice: somewhat squeaky Age: very old (?) Wand: 10 1/2 inches, willow, dragon's heartstring House: head of Ravenclaw Field: Charms Office: seventh floor, near the base of the West Tower Interests: decorates with live fairies quite a bit Favourite Drink: cherry syrup and soda with ice and an umbrella

Why not do both? I'd really appreciate that.

OOC: Dmitri and Ben, you can continue your negotiations. The next day, Lydia called Christian into her office. She sat with her back partially towards him so she could just see him and his every reaction. "Christian dear, do you remember that darling little police officer I told you to get rid of?" He nodded. "Do you remember how, when you first became my bodyguard, Daddy told you to stay out of trouble?" He nodded again and she turned and glared at him. "You do? Good. Then do you realize that you left fingerprints after you killed him?" She heard him gulp, but she was just getting started. "How do you expect me to run a multi-million dollar corporartion when my most trusted employees leave fingerprints?! How?! And even better, one of this town's little wannabe superheroes found the body! Fix this problem now, or you're fired. You have two days, but expect you to be done in much less. Get out of my sight." After he left, she sat back in her chair, fuming at every little thing that was wrong. One of the many paintings in her office was slightly askew. Another had one of the worst color schemes she had ever seen. Yet another was just plain ugly. And the portrait of her late father was dusty. Heads would roll for the state her office was in, but they would roll later. She wondered how Dillion was doing. If she did have to fired Christian, at least she'd have a replacement ready.

It's fine, but I still need more people.

I like the show, mostly because Eve's in it. Other than that, the animation could be better, as well as the voice actors. But it's still okay and better than watching reruns of Punk'd.

Name: Sani Age: 17 Gender: Female Weapon: crossbow Power: ice-water

Everyone is fine. All I need are people to join as machines, then this can start. You can make a second character if you wish and please tell others about this. Hopefully, it will start soon.

Meteora might not have been the best, but I still enjoyed it. I'm sure they put a lot of hard work into their album, like most artists do, and decided that Meteora is what they wanted the public to see. Personally, I like Breaking the Habit, Session, Nobody's Listening, and Easier to Run.

Two new poems I've just written. Give me any feedback and I'll try not to bite your head off. ^_~ Jumpin' and Fallin', Runnin' and Funnin' i look over at him and see his fear is he too scared to jump? i smile a little to comfort him that should make it better he smiles back but it's so forced he doesn't mean it he's not going to jump doesn't he know? It Ain't The Fall That Hurts And The Jumpin's The Best Part Now Run Straight Ahead And Close Your Eyes When You Open Them Again You'll Get A Great Surprise That Rush Of Adrenaline The Cool Water On Your Face You Don't Want To Be Left Just Runnin' In Place So Take The Plunge And Get To Jumpin' It's Really The Best Part I'm Gonna Go So Why You Keep Funnin'? ---------- Caged Ever feel like You're stuck in a box? No matter how hard you fight Or how hard you struggle You'll always be stuck in that box For some It's their home For others It's their current job And for still others It's the life they lead Everyday Closing in Folding over Getting smaller and smaller and smaller Until there's no more room And their Box is a Cage And they're put on display Like an animal in a zoo Glad you know how they must feel

I love them all and I like heavy images. The colors seemed to explode out of the screen at you. I can't wait to see more, if you make them.

The Matrix, the perfect world created for man by machine, is being to collaspe. Everyday, more and more people are waking up from their lifelong dream to a harsh reality and more anomolies are occuring within the system itslef. Some accept it and try to begin a new life; Others refuse to believe and try to find their way back; and still others fight to free people and machines like themselves. The reigning machines see only one way to conquer this new menace, this spreading plague: the total and complete annihilation of all who have been freed, born free, or know the truth, including the people living in Zion. Only one question remains: Is this humanity's last stand, or will we die another day? (Oy, cliched movie titles. What is my imagination coming to?) Just a few reminders and such: 1. You're either be a human (in the Matrix, out of it, or born free and sided with or against humanity) or a machine (sided with or against the humans). No matter what side you choose, you can change sides. But remember, if you do, you'll be under almost constant suspicion by the side were formerly with and the one you are now with. 2. Anyone who was once in the Matrix has a hole in the back of their head. You better include that in your appearance! 3. The machines are futuristic. Try to make them appear that way. 4. Anyone who is in the Matrix will be freed or learn about it at some point. Just because you know about the Matrix doesn't mean you're no longer in it. 5.

Lydia was just flirting with yet another man undeserving of her attention when her cell phone rang. She read it and frowned. Didn't that idiot know that the sky's the limit when it came to a new minion...recruit for her little force. She grudgingly replied. [multimillchick]: Offer him whatever he wants, you great dolt! If you need me, I'll be at home. She left immeadiately headed home. There was still the world to conquer.

Just to let you know, I use AOL, so you know I've been having some problems. Second, I've been trying to find a pic to use for Sharlette and it ain't working. Beside, I've been overworked IRL. Tomorrow going to be even worse. I'm working on it, alright? Don't mean anything by it.

I swear, I'm working on a signup, but I'm more than a little busy right now and even if I do finish it by tomorrow, I don't think I'll be able to post it. So just save me a spot and start without me if ya need to.

Lydia turned on the large plasma screen TV in her office. Spin Cycle had escaped from prison. As interesting as that was, she had work to do, companies to forcefully take over, lives to destroy/control, monopolies to create. There were a lot of things in this world she still didn't have control of. And then there was the little problem of that speeding ticket. Was it her fault people didn't know she was exempt from the law? But Christian would take care of that, he always did. "Dillion!" she snapped. He slunk from the shadows of her office. She shuddered a little, though not visibly. Who knew where that little prick followed her. "Yes, Ms. Folcroft?" "Find out more about Spin Cycle and offer him a job for me. I have a feeling we'll be in need of his services. Go. NOW!" He nodded and left. Lydia yawned and stretched. It had been a long day and she thought she deserved a treat. She pulled out her cell, looking through the phonebook. None of them really deserved her attention and she had no reason to give them any. Sighing, she headed for a club instead.

^_^ AYA!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for the banner terra! You did a wonderful job on it! Thanks again!

Arielle stared on helplessly. She had no weapons and couldn't possibly help Oni. Or could she? She stared at one girl, slightly apart from everyone else, holding a very large blade. She concentrated a little and shot a beam or pure energy at her. The girl was thrown backward by the force and stood the face her. Arielle smiled a bit and prepared for another attack. Tami was a little dazed, but could still fight. She looked at Oni, then Arielle, then back at Oni. Should she help her friends or accept Arielle's challenge? She looked at her friends, hoping one of them would help.
