[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1] I, personally, don't think it's need. If people did this, what would be the point of "Arena Underground"? Many RPG's have threads in this forum, to converse. about the RPG in the Adventure Arena specifically. So from my understanding if the RPG dies, it would be better to provide feedback in their Underground thread. Having a thread and posting "a bit more publicly," would allow you to know what went wrong. Or what the plot lacked, why they lost interest, etc. Doing this would also let you know what those out of the RPG thought about it. Also let you know what they think went wrong. Or if one of the RP'ers has to go away for awhile, wouldn't it be better to let everyone in the RPG to know how long you'll be go for. So that they don't just go and kill of the character the person is absent. It'd probably be less hassle and stress worrying about what will happen if your not able to post.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]Beaten at posting. Here's my try though. [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=20988&stc=1[/IMG] [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]I think this would be a fun idea. But rather then creating a forum for it specifically... Wouldn't it be better to try out one RPG in the already existing area? That way, you could see how many are interested, and would be dedicated to the idea. That way in the Underground you could find more people's thought on it. Or if you should draw by hand or Omekei. But there might be a few problems, mainly because of the RPG types and rating. It would also cause the artist a lot of problems with detail; scenery, character designs, persona, language, body movement, etc. So their character designs would have to be kept a bit simpler so that the artist would be able to draw the characters repeatedly. Or so that other people could include the other RP'ers characters in their post. Plus, I know many good, well rounded, artist sometimes have problems to draw or make drawings or paintings with more then one person. But can do it if they digitally edit, about, 4 pieces together. Unless of course, they're able to easily. Which I find hard for many people to do. Then there is also that possiblity that the RP'ers may loose interest or tire of drawing/painting/omekei. Still, the whole drawn out RPG would be a nice, unique, change. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Well as many of you may know, the 10th Anniverary of the movie Edward ScissorHands was this year. During school I thought of how Edward would look like draw in ?Anime Style? of drawing. I tried, but got extremely lazy halfway through. Realizing how much detail would be need. By that time, he didn?t have a draw head nor hands. (Ironic) So I finished it anyways, but it lost a lot. So I plan to go back and re-try. But I?m in need of some comments one the first version. ^^ His body looks extremely messed up, ne? [/SIZE][/COLOR] [IMG]http://brokeneyes.250free.com/edward.jpg[/IMG]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Taozao turned his blade, weaving it back and forth through the light. The place wasn't lit well, not even decently for that matter. The only light came from over head, that danced in and out of the dark hole of the spider's pit. Swiftly he slanted it upwards, causing a signal strand of green grass to fall. He then began to prick his gloved hand. Drawing blood from each fingers Taozao waited. There was a group of pesky little mercenaries fallowing him. A slight wind below over head, he could hear leaves flowing around. Dancing. Shifting his cloak he bend forwards. Kneeling he knocked his kanata against the bandages on his lower leg scratching it almost. To see if the group were vary alert. There was no sound from them, Taosao smirked. Hearing one of them men draw over the Spider's Pit Taozao struck upwards. Cutting the man in his leg then pulling him underneath. The grass and string flung, striking the first mercenary in his head with his kanata he dragged the blade down. Pushing his weight upon the blade, he jabbed it into the flesh causing a reflex bounce of one of the main veins. Using this he supported him self n the handle as he came flying out of the Spider's Pit. Looking around he say one of them yelling after the other, the third mercenary was fleeing. Taozao laughed to him self. Running towards the second mercenary, he drew his kanata to the side. As if to do a back hand hammer fist, it turned it on it's blunt edge as he struck the second mercenary in his stomach. Drawing back a few steps Taozao reached into his cloak's header neck pulling the string from around his neck. It gleamed red. A drop of blood staining the a blade of grass. He waited for the man to stand however, Taozao still kept the running man in sight. "You *******." he swore, slightly coughing. "...Then why did you fallow me, surely it has nothing to do with you. Money if I'm not mistaken." Clutching his side, the man drew a short edge. Turning it upwards to the side of his face. He had it exactly 5 inches away from his face. Both in volume and distance, his stance wavered back and forth. His style, was both offense and defensive. "Shut up!" Putting back his kanata, Taozao wrapping the string around his fingers. Creating cat's cradle, step 27; Faith's Broken Wall. Stretching his arms out wide, he stared at the mercenary. Remembering his movements, he charged. The man slashed and pushed Taozao back slightly. Dipping his heel into the ground Taozao was able to regain his stance much quicker then the mercenary and charged again. This time the man was unable to draw back, Taozao Gripped the Cat's Cradle around the man's head. Bringing it back he twisted and brung it back forwards suffocating the man to death. Still though the man was dead, Taozao held the weavings further out. More strongly them was needed. Taozao stopped as he noticed there was a slight crackling. Withdrawing the body began to drop. before it could he caught it and brought it over to the Spider's Pit. Dropping the body in, he barred the two. Sitting he listened for the other mercenary. Suddenly catching his shadow he ran after the man. Nervously, the third mercenary clutched to his sides. Shivering, knowing that he should've been killed with his friends. Thinking to him self, how could he have been such a coward. Why? Because he knew he was no match. Because he was afraid to die. Leaves fell from over head and from behind he felt a breath on the back of his neck. Leaping forwards he was brought back. "What is your name?" He knew the voice, Taozao. Too afraid to answer he jumped forwards again. Taozao let him go and jumped down from the tree branch. The man ran but in his confusion tripped. Walking over, Taozao helped him up. "What is your name?" "Ma-Mercenary Lee." "Nice to meet you, I have a job for you. Think you can handle it?" "Pa-Please, don't kill me." "No worries. Just do what I say, and you'll go scott free. Understood?" "Y-Yes, Sir." "If you ever happen to meet a boy by the name of "Karel Kaitsen," tell him Taozao is looking for him." The man nodded. Letting his grip around the man's neck loosen he jumped forwards running. Taozao watched as the man disappeared, he began to laugh. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]Zen felt like crying, but held back the feeling. Nodding she moved forwards, lancing her fingers with Blynd's. He blushed slightly. [i]"I had received an E-mail from Lyn, stating that she needed help. Someone was talking to her, driving bad thoughts into her head. And that she was in a lot of pain. And then I checked it again a few seconds ago...It changed, saying that she was alright."[/i] she replied, looking up to Blynd. [i]"Strange, I'm going to check if I can find where she's located."[/i] He froze for a few seconds, checking her location. It had said, Mac Anu. But Mac Anu was replaced by another sentence of symbols, this time by zero's and one's. Waiting a few seconds her location went blank. [i]"She's not on a normal server, she's probably gone to a private server. But her last location was Mac Anu."[/i] [i]"Should we check it out?"[/i] [i]"I think we'd have a better chance of finding her if we did. However it might be more dangerous considering that last little accident."[/i] [i]"It's alright, I'm ready."[/i] They two looked over to the others, explaining that they would be heading for Mac Anu. Balmung protested the two going alone, and that he and a few of the other's would be tagging along. Simply because it'd be safer. Once agreed, they all headed over to the warp portal.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Standing, the chalk fell out of her hand. Bouncing off and then rolling across the hall. Stepping forwards she paused, turning back she looked to the wall. Lei hadn't finished yet, it'd be wrong for her to leave without finishing wouldn't it. Lei turned again, sitting back down she leaned against the wall. The chalk smearing off in her hair. Rocking back and forth for a few moments it sounded like some of the other children had returned. Then foot steps were coming. The second board always squeaked. Jumping up from her place, she ran grabbing her piece of chalk. Lei paused as the others stared up at her, Jhellah smiled sweetly. Her eyes dodged back and forth then rested back on Jhellah. Smiling to her in return, Lei turned running back to her corner. Coming up, as they passed they stopped for a few seconds. "Hello, Jhellah, John, Anna, Michael, Ben." Anna waved, "Hi, Lei." Lei waved in reply, the other's gave her a nod of acknowledgement, as she turned slightly drawing a thin line across the wall. "I hope you all enjoyed your time out." "Sure did." John had a sad linger within his last words, "You should try going out." Lei didn't answer glancing at Jhellah she went back to writing.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Please notifiy me if there is anything that needs to be changed. Also, please don't mind me for saying this. But many of you are politically incorrect on Japan's history, weapons, fighting style, etc. The only gun that could ever possible to used in the RPG would be a gauntlet gun, even that is over century before the time line of which the RPG is in. (If I'm guessing the year and decade correctly.) >_< ---------------------------- [b][u]Sign-Up[/b][/u] [b]Position:[/b] Master Sin/Leader Sin. [b]Name:[/b] Shin Z. Taonao [i]- Taonao[/i] [b]Age:[/b] 26 [b]Appearence:[/b] Dressed within a light flowing, black, cloak, his body is rarely seen out of battle. The sakkhat shades his face. Over casting the depth of the hollows within his eyes. Approximately, he stands 6'4 and weighs at least 195 lbs. His build is on the neutral side, neither frail nor muscular. However, much of his weight comes from pure strength and training. This is also a factor of how he is able to penetrate so many mansions, towns, and an area without causing an commotion. Allowing him to train in almost any area without question. His hair is shaggy and a bit long, flowing with his movements. Large locks of his strands of hair often fall forwards gracefully. His black hair contrast to his deep brown eyes and extremely pale complexion. Within the pupils of his eyes, upon closer expectation. One would realize that he has none, they are simply where the broken seems to merge into a slight green hue. Taonao's eyes are cold and dead, dull without any shine nor gleam from them. They look as if though they are glass. Around his mouth, he wears a sin mask. The bands stretching back and breaking off into two chains hooked to the two pairs of Sais he has concealed underneath his black shirt. The handles come up hitting two throwing stars hooked with string to the back of his neck. Taonao wears a Black Sin over haul shirt. Long sleeved, all the ends are embroils in a silk white fabric including the cross hatch. The fabric behind the netting is slate gray. Around the end of the sleeves, unlike most sins' his has hand cuffs. Underneath has the bandage wrapping around, extending from his elbow down to his fingerer tips. There are over crossing straps, hooked to chains that wind all the way up into his back. From there it loops around his neck over hanging in an 'x' front and back, back down to his arms hook with a third break off into his Jurs and Katars. On his lower half he has the basic Monk's pants. The ends slighted wrapped in bandages that disappear underneath his soft wound boots. Around his waist he wears a black belt, hanging from each side is the sheath which holds his two Kanatas. [i]*** Notable things:[/i] Around his right hand he wears a black glove, fanning out it breaks so that two fingers are free of the movement of the fabric stretching back with the rest of his hand. On his upper left shoulder, under his clothing, he has a marking. Reading: "China Rose" in Japanese. In the same area on his right shoulder he has the marking "Dream" in Korean. On his back he has a large scaled marking of large black wings and a red heart in the middle. In the middle of that heart in black it read: "Devotion" in Chinese. [b]Weapons:[/b] Katar, Jur, Kanata, Thai - Nakio Throwing Stars, String, and Sai. [b]Skills:[/b] Mostly likely, faster then most men your able to meet. He's extremely quick, not only physical but mentally. Not having only been self-proclaimed genius everyone who has heard of him has also. Having a higher level of thinking and understanding, he is far ahead of his time in physics, science, and math. Because of this he is able to calculate all movements within a matter of time. Taonao is said to "physic," wither this is true or not he has no real "skills" since he doesn't need any. [b]Personality:[/b] Cold, almost emotion-less, Insane, and a genius. Taonao has fun with weapons and poison, simply put....He is the ultimate sadistic. [i] - Killing Kaitsen with poison, he killed the rest of his family all with a light smile. Killed the mother with a thread of string, cutting her repeatedly and then slicing her neck. Then slighting her wrist, he moved on the sister. For her he switched to using has Katar for something that would splatter, he collected the blood from off all of the weapons of which he used to kill the Kaitsen family. Gathering it he shifted it into a glass where the blood wouldn't clog, the drugs that lined the glass wouldn't allow it to. Swirling it around in side of it's little bottle, he was informed...That he had not killed them all, there was still a son. Vowing to him-self, he would not drink the blood until the boy was killed. Lifting his Kanata to his mouth he cut his tongue slightly drinking the blood, a bit anger with him-self.[/i] [b]Biography:[/b] Once long ago, so very long ago, the Kaitsen and Taonao family had had close ties within each other. As one of the many abounded children taken into the world of Sins. Taonao was the most skilled, certainly above Kaitsen and maybe even the leader of the organization. But as Taonao rose through the ranks of Sins his friends ship with Kaitsen went away, for good. After he had reached the top, Kaitsen went away. Running, Taonao had lost all feeling by time he was in the ranking of fourth and no longer cared for anyone. However, he let the man run. He was focused on becoming the best, and the strongest. As a child, Shin originally had lived in China. He was happy there, living with his mother and his father...His father though, he resented but still he had the utp-most respect for. His father was a good enough man, skilled in fighting. But he had been part of the Black Tigers, and would often go away to Korea. Still the man was kind enough to his family supporting them and taught Shin how to fight. Nearly the age of 5, wars started once more. The dynasties, the dictators, China was expanding too quickly. And after some time, there was a fight on the border. His father being killed, Shin's mother knew that the war would spread to their area. She sent Shin with a group of the family's friends to the south, from there they went to Japan. The journey was long and hard, for once arrival came he got word of his mother's death. Once this happened, immediately the next day there was a group of men who came picking him up. And taking him to the Taonao' house. From there he was given the opportunity, to join them or be sent to be killed by the Chung's organization as soon as he walked out the door. Shin, took the first and his last name then became "Taonao," knowing that he'd have a better chance. During training at the age of 16 there was another boy of who he developed a friend ship. He was older and could remember his real name clearly, Kaitsen. He didn't seem to have any real type of interest within the organization. And Shin then found that he rose in ranks much faster then Kaitsen. Drifting apart, Shin then learned what happened to Sin's who ran away. Seeing his sensei killed in front of his league Shin had an out burst of emotion. Then trying to execute the leader of the Taonao Clan, he was beaten and locked away for two years. Obviously, Shin began to take up their traits. [i]If a child, shows emotion. Simply lock him away, alone. With no one to react, there is no reason for emotion. The only reason there is pain, love, happiness, pride, is because you know some one will react to your pain.[/i] Once release, Shin no longer took any liking to that name. From then on, he rose in ranks even higher. Killing countless, he was known only as Taonao and nothing else. His real name has since been forgotten by all. Word had came back to him that Kaitsen had ran away and had yet to be killed. Also learning that the man had started a family, it brought something into Taonao's heart. Admiration for Kaitsen, Taonao had been weak. Not even able to avenge his sensei and then being beaten to try and right that wrong. With a smile, Taonao took it upon his self personally to kill Kaitsen and his family. [b]Sign:[/b] Gemini[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Beautiful bg, MarkAnthony. I like the colors you've chosen for an over all feel. Since all of them flow so well together. A warm yet cool feeling. Not to method how it flows along with the persona of your art style. Really admiring how you had done the CG for the character's hair. You've made it define in shades and highlights, matching to the, jetted like, hair style. The same about the shading goes for the clothing. A good job on shading, you seem to know where shadows and reflections would hit fairly well. However, a few things you may want to improve on. [b]1.)[/b] Your perspectives are a bit off. Which, kind of, messes up the facial expression. And the movement of the character and fabric. May also what to add more detail once you've gotten perspectives a bit better. [b]2.)[/b] This may not really be taken into consideration, since it is a more personal opinion from the rest. But I dislike how the large, faded in, image has a different color sheeting then the front image. The larger one: Blond-ish hair, blue eyes, and the clothing is a bit more on the purple side. [b]3.)[/b] Mixing of CGing styles. - After staring at your drawing for a bit. I finally realized that you've used three different types of CGing styles in the picture. Although it can be interesting in some art work. I don't think the mixing suits this one in particular. Taking into consideration of how long it's been since you've last CGed. Extremely nice job.

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]Please let me know if anything needs to be changed. ------------------------- [b][u]Sign - Up[/u][/b] [b]Name:[/b] Guardian Siaga [i] - Real Name: Siaga Z. TecAmoray[/i] [b]Age:[/b] 23 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b] Appearance:[/b] Standing exactly 5 feet and 4 inches, she only weights 105 lbs. Her build is thin, but still she's strong. Siaga has long gray hair, that is often mistaken for white. It reaches down to the back of her ankles. On the front side, she has long neatly cut bangs that reach down to her eye-brows. her hair color doesn't contrast too much with her complexion. Wearing a slate gray/murky blue dress that goes half way down to her knees. The top goes off into four straps. Two that go normally the other two make an "x," front and back. At the end of the dress it breaks away in ruffles, underneath she wears a double layered thin under skirt that makes it cool enough in the heat but keeps Siaga warm enough in the cold. On the lower parts of her legs, she wears long over hang socks. That come up, folded, to her upper thighs. Siaga wears basic foot wear. Ankle high boots made out of a comfortable fabric. Around her neck she wears a silver nickels with two pendants. One is the symbol of the kingdom, the other is a small, empty, heart shaped locket. However, draped around her body she wears a large white cloak. Or you can just [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/Zenjia/sleep.jpg]click here[/URL] for apperence. [b]Persona:[/b] Intelligent, smart, and kind. Siaga is extremely loyal, having devoted her self to serving the Royal Family for a large part of her life. She's been there to watch them grow up and feels as though they are like little siblings. Thus is the reason of which she has chosen, freely, to become a guardian and to help insure they're safety. Probably one of the more 'feeling' guardian, she wishes them never to see any side of her other then that which would make them happy.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]The story does have potential. I'd sign up if some of the things were fixed, since the story's plot does appealed to me. But you do need to fix some things within your plot. 1.) Lack of detail. [i] - Something very important within a story or RPG. Judging by the type and classification this is in, there would probably be a lot foreshadowing. Meaning detail would be a strong point to getting people to sign up in the first place. Not to mention keeping their interest.[/i] 2.) Strength of persona and characteristics. [i] - There isn't much strength to the Sins. Mainly to their; motivation, organization, acts, etc. I, personally, think that it could be stronger. Along with the relations within the family ties. 3.) Grammar and Punctuation. [i] - Some of the sentences are written...Incoherently. Leaving some confusion for what comes next within the plot. Plus separation of ideals, i.e. separation of paragraphs.[/i] These are the three main elements of story and English Grammar you should, probably, work on to help get your RPG's off the ground. If you need anything explained more in depth or clarified, please let me know.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1][i]Thank you, Blynd.[/i] The rock that petrified Macha's state began o crack. Slowly moving it's way in irregular patterns, the group moved into a fighting stance. Flame with held his gun up, not waiting for it to come fully un-petrified, he shot rapidly. The rocks flew up bursting into dust, it took moments to clear. When able to see, the thing was blinking with an aura of different colors. It was down to another stage of hit points, Flame's rapid seemingly did a lot of damage. Zen became uncertain of his level. He had a higher level of STR then the rest of them. Macha turned, heading to attack Flame. He ducked off to the side as it seeped at him, while it was doing this it found it's self attacked from the side and back by the others. Slowly while it was pre-occupied by the rest, Balmung moved nearer to Flame as he slashed at Macha. "Flame, where were you? Lyn might have gone to the same place." "I don't know." Flame replied shooting at Macha. Zen dogged off to the side, freezing her character, she tried again to contact Lyn. Still no reply, coming back Macha was ahead of her striking down. Unable to move, she heard a clash. Blynd was protecting her, his blades crossed into an "X" block. "Move!" Doing just so, she moved off to the side and upwards. Charging her sword into Macha's side. It backed away and turned, hitting her into a wall. She checked her health meter, it was fine. Checking Blynd's his was alright two. With a sigh of relief she took a step back and charged.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1][b]Name:[/b] Lei [b]Age:[/b] 10 [b]Gender:[/b] Female. [b]Personality:[/b] Seemingly enough, she's considered to be aloof and paranoid on the out side. This is the closet thing that may be described to the truth. Constantly with drawing her self away from other people, she spends her time reading and writing the same words and paragraphs over and over again in a small little corner of the Inn in dirty white chalk. And every time, she has filled that corner, she moves on. Her mind jumping by a tenfold, the way she acts for her age seems to differ within each corner. She's on the quite side, knowing that her chances of being able to find a brighter future is slim to nothing. Still, there are a few of which she admires wishing only to be able to talk to them. She's obedient and does what is asked of her. Naturally intelligent, but she isn't smart enough to use that intelligence. Lei seems as though she would need allot of protection since other's think that she suffers from a slight depression. [b]Appearence:[/b] Very thin, and has an extremely frail built. Not very strong, and matches her will strength. Her body is easily bruised, much like glass. She stands at exactly five feet. Her skin is extremely pale, since it was meant to once be a tanned color, the shade of her skin has turned slightly gray. Underneath her green eyes, the skin has become hallowed pulling deep within her skull. Underneath her pants, she has a large scare that rounds all of her right leg. Breaking away from that there is another large scare that goes down and disappears underneath her foot wear. Dull purple rounds the edges, not very contrasting to her dull short black hair. Her hair always seems to be fairly neat for some one of her persona. Around her body she wears tattered clothing. Now gray, it once was white but since has gotten to grungy to ever be the same shade again. Simply, Lei wears a short sleeve shirt. The left shoulder has been torn off, it buttons 10 ways up wards. Breaking off into a high neck collar. The collar is torn, and large cuts seem to have lined it near the back. Along from were it buttons across her chest 7 buttons are missing. Along it rims the bottom in a folded edge, on the sides it has to more tattered slights heading inwards and up.. However, even though it is torn, it fits her body perfectly fine. On her lower half she wears white/gray pants, that end 6 inches up from her ankles. On the side of those they have slight slights on both the inside and out side of her legs. On her knee there is a threading hole. On her feet she wears worn out black shoes, the threads are all coming undone. And the seam is wearing out. The only thing notable is what is wrung around her neck. A black leather strap that has a chain hole link, a piece of string drops down is a crudely cut piece of wood in the shape of a heart. The link seems to have broken near the top. [b]Bio:[/b] Lei cannot remember anything before her life with Jellah at the Inn. And for all that time, she only knows that Jellah is the only one she can really have any contact with. The other children and thouse out side of the Inn scare her. Never leaving, she knows for sure she has no family left within her Purgatory. Jellah was probably the one who gave her the piece of chalk, and the one who taught her what she knows. Another factor of why she fears the out side, however. Once and awhile, if the Inn is ever in need ot anything, she'll leave. Steal, lie, or do what ever means is necessary for the others. [b]Any Resources:[/b] She has no real abilities or resources other then her abilities to understand almost everyone's English, regardless of how poor it is. So fairly good hearing.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]It didn't seem right. And the math wasn't adding up anymore, how her calculations be wrong. How could this boy known as "Flame" be Lyn's brother. Zen had been certain that it was Ryu. Angry with her self, she stared at the petrified Macha. Flame's eyes still piercing and hard, flickered into a soft sad motion but then went back to the same gaze. He still held his gun out steadily. Not dropping his guard no one moved nor said a word. The petrified monster had no movement as if it never had life. Taking a step back, Zen froze sending out a PM to Lyn's character address. Nothing...What had happened to her? Zen glanced to Blynd then, one of their eyes trailed off to Ryu the other to "Flame." Checking their party list, Flame's name was flashing in different colors. He was on their party list, but not really a part of their party. Meaning a glitch was somewhere in the system. Blynd glanced suspiciously, "Ryu, what was that attack?" He stammered, "I-I don't know..." Balmung walked forwards, uncertainly. Same data streams were floating upwards from the ground around Macha. Flame drew his gun back to his side, he stared down in a forlorn motion. Balmung placed a hand upon Flames shoulder, speaking the words [i]'I'm sorry..."[/i] So softly the rest could not hear, but the rest did see how he drew away. His motion back was unnatural, Flame's eyes still lowered to the ground. Zen tugged on Blynd's sleeve, having a whisper chat so that the rest could not hear. Zen:[i] These events are unnatural, something wrong within the game.[/i] [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]"Where do you suppose they went?" "I don't really know," Blynd replied, "I'm sure we'll find them once there's screaming." The two walked came to a stop at the bath house. Going in the went to the bath house keepers, inquiring if a group of males had come bye. The two's answers were both the same. No one had came by fitting the descriptions. The two went back out side, taking a seat on the steps. Zen froze, sending a whisper to Lyn, there was no reply. Zen sighed looking up. "They shouldn't have gotten lost." There was a slight scream coming from the bath house. It had sounded like Ryu, the two stood heading back inside. Only to be pushed back out by the group running fallowed by the girls in towels. All of them with their weapons ready to strike. The girls were yelling and screaming, Blynd and Zen unable to make out their words guessed by the expression upon the guys' face. All of the guys were out and hiding. All of the girls having a satisfied look upon there faces headed back into the bath house. The door slammed behind them. "Ryu's naughty." "I noticed..." "I'm not the only one who went in!" Ryu came out, "It was their choice to come along." Zen shook her head, "Why did you go in the first place?" Not knowing what to answer, Ryu turned and sat down on the ground. He looked as though he was pouting, the others came out knowing that Lyn, Ouka, Naomi, Mistrial, and the rest were gone. Blynd sighed in distress for a moment, "You're all lucky they didn't kill you."[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]Sitting in amazement, Zen watched as Blynd beat the other players down. He was laughing, she was happy to see him so glad. But it wasn't in her character to let him beat up so many characters. He had already taken out 3/4 of the crowd. Standing, Zen walked up to Blynd's side. He had a somewhat surprised look on his face as she leaned over and quickly kissed him. Reki laughed as he raised his hands to the two. "The official winner: Blynd!" Reki announced, "Congratulations!" Blynd glanced over to Zen, "You ruined my fun." Zen smiled, "You would have kept on fighting." Blynd smiled, he looked forwards as people walked out of the water. Once everyone was out the stage materialized back to it's original location. Reki waved, [i]"Enjoy the rest of the day."[/i] He added as he transported them to their original place before the event had started. Looking around they could see where the girls had went. However they did find Balmung and Ryu, Ryu was snickering. "Where did everyone else go?" Balmung looked at Zen and Blynd, "Congratulations on winning the event." Blynd nodded, adding in a "Thank you." Ryu stopped, "The rest of the group went to the bathhouse."[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1] Blushing, Zen stammered to speak. Not knowing entirely what to say. She never discussed her age only, and begun to figuring that her character model's age was good enough. Not to mention she begun to grow afraid of the large crowd. Never before had she actually stood infront of group this large. Looking over to Reki he smiled. "M-my, my name is Zen, m15." She said her age so quickly no one seemed to even care, "My...My hobbies, are studying, Martial Arts--" Before finishing, Reki took the microphone away. "Isn't she lovely now? By the end of this event this beauty could be on a date with anyone of you!" There we're cheers and whistles again. Reki quieted them down, "To build up anticipate, we shall release this days event, however to be fair, it will be brought for within a matter of minutes allowing you all a few seconds to prepare for the challenge." By this time a few of the others had managed to get to the front. Getting out of the chair she leaned down shouting to them, hoping they would hear over the other people's voice. "Do anyone of you want to trade places?!" she yelled over, but none of them could hear. "What?" was each of there reply. Suddenly, she was pushed back into the chair by Reki. "Please wait to talk to your friends afterwards, thank you." he said. Reki turned to the crowd, rasing his left hand three lights burst off around the stage. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1][b]OOC:[/b] Houka, Sevotharte, you two pawn all. ------------------------ [b]IC:[/b] "Hey Blynd Zen hurry up the events gonna start!" Lyn yelled, loud enough that it was able to break the silence of which was around the two. Drawing back, Zen felt as though she didn't want to let go. However, knowing that she'd have to eventually. Taking a few steps back she broke the embracement. Staring up, gazing, she smiled sweetly. [i]"Thank you..."[/i] she whispered. Zen watched as a single tear left the blind fold and hit the ground. Remembering her bonnet she took it out, turning it inside out. The bonnet seemed to be made out of solely the black material. Standing up her tiptoes she wiped what was left of the tear way. Placing it back underneath the sash, she bowed. "W-We should get going." Blynd nodded, "Right." The two begun to walk out of the area, suddenly Blynd paused. Zen turned, pondering what was wrong. She waited as he walked up along side of her. The two then walked out into where the majority of the people were. Where the event was being held. Emerging from on the path from behind a group of trees, Lyn waved. "What took you guys?" she said. "Sorry." Zen said bowing. "Nah, it's alright." she replied, "You made it in time for the event. All that really matters." [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]With Blynd turning, Zen's hand was slightly knocked off from reaching upon his shoulder. Taking a step back, she bowed. Although his blind fold was on, Zen knew he that he would know it was her. "Zen..." he said almost in a hush. She still didn't raise her head, "I'm sorry, Blynd. I didn't mean to..." Blynd grunted slightly, listening to her apologizes repeatedly but never finishing. Every time she tried, her words never came out right. Taking a small step back she bowed her head further, finally making the words that were on the tip of her tongue come out. "Blynd, I-I'm sorry," she said feeling as those she was about to cry, "Please forgive me, I had never meant to listen in on you but...I just wanted to find you. Please forgive me." He was silent for a moment, moving forwards, Zen was about to take another step back. But her steps were small and only half of his. He lifted up her chin. She opened both of her eyes. "Please don't be mad." she said, almost not hear able. "Don't cry." Blynd paused, "I forgive you." Feeling as those she could not help her feelings. She dropped her inking brush and the cloth like paper of which she had been given for her wish. Wrapping her arms around Blynd she held him as tight as she could. A slight wind blew, rolling the paper along the ground. Wavering it caught on a tree trunk. Blynd looked over, not knowing what to do. He could help but feel the need to read what he could. Zen's Wish: My wish, for Blynd to be find happiness. Another wind came and the wish blew away into the darkness of the trees.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]After Ouka and Ryu left, the tree tops begun to shake. They could hear breaking of a few, Lyn shook her head in disapproval. They listened as a few more trees begun to snap. Green leaves fell to the ground, Lyn smashed the ones that landed near her into pieces. A small wind came and picked up the pieces. Zen watched as Lyn grew a bit angry. "Argh!" she exclaimed, "They're going to mess up the event!" Suddenly, Lyn and Balmung walked threw the trees over to where they heard the fighting. The two moved back, dodging a tree that fell in front of them. Lyn grunted as the rest of them came threw the trees. Lyn raised her hand into the air, calling upon a fairly weak ice spell. She cast it around Blynd's feet. Ryu moved back, still in a stance motion of fighting. Ouka stood in a ready to move position, she licked her lips quickly showing a smug smile. The two resumed a normal stand point. Lyn no longer had an angry look on her face. However, since she had choose to use her level one spell the ice was almost completely gone. Still she was happier now, hoping they could get back to the event. Zen smiled, waving to Blynd. "Hi, Blynd." she called out. Lyn and Ryu glanced over at her, [i]"You know him?"[/i] they said symmetrically. Zen didn't answer instead she backed down, Balmung grunted. His grunt went off replaced by a small laugh. The other confused and no real reaction of which they thought would have been appropriate.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Taking out her kimono out of her bag, she laid it down. Examining the shades of blue, thinking of Blynd's comment earlier. She didn't really want to know why she was even thinking of his comment. Ryu had been talking to him, before Lyn had pulled him away during the middle of their conversation. Trying to recall what they had talked about...She couldn't. Zen had been pulled away by Ouka a few minutes after she had heard her yell his name. [i]"I'll ask Ryu or Blynd next time I see them."[/i] she said, whispering to her-self. Taking off the over hang netting she folded it and placed it next to the out stretched kimono. As she eventually finished, she slipped the skirt like half of the kimono. Looking over next to the sash she made sure every thing had been folded correctly, lifting the pile she lightly slide it into the bag. Taking up the slash she held it in her mouth at one end. The other was wound around her right hand. Folding the left flap over the right she tied it around her waist. Lining her fingers around the bow in the back, she knew it was slightly crocked. Walking over to the more still water she turned to the side. Trying to adjust it made it a bit loose. Pulling on the bow again she tightened it. Spinning she held grasp to the basic ideal of how she looked. Noticing that she still had her black and blue bonnet on, she untied it. Slipping it underneath the slash around her waist, the two long black strings tangled out. But it looked just find to her. Getting her bag, she walked over back to the water's edge and stared down. Not lifting her head Zen called to the other "Let me know when your all ready." "Your done?" Ouka replied. "Yes." Lyn came over, "Then how about guarding the area. So Ouka can change too." "Alright." Standing, Zen went over to Ouka was. They exchanged a quick smiled and Ouka went further back to change into her kimono. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Zen giggled, watching Naomi rub Ouka furry ears. They twitched forwards in a relaxing motion. Ouka then stood up straight fixing small bits of hair that had fallen out of place. The locators around her head begun to spin, before they could make a half lap she opened her PM. Lyn poked her in the arm. "Can't you turn those things off? They're annoying!" "They're kind of dizzying..." Ryu added in. "Sorry Lyn, I'll try to keep them in track." "Humph." Zen smiled and turned, "Naomi, your coming with us aren't you?" Naomi nodded her head nervously, not sure if she should answer, "Yes." Lyn glanced over to Naomi, "Did you pick out a kimono yet?" She shook her head. A few of the girls walked in the kimono shop with Naomi, looking around they helped her to find the right one. Something that would go well with Naomi's character design. Or maybe something that would contrast with her character's eyes or hair color. Out of the corner of her eye, Zen saw a taller character. White/silver-ish hair dressed in darker colors...[i]Blynd?[/i] Standing on her tip toes she tried to see over the other player's head. But to no avail, the people seemed to shift directly into her view. The thought of him being in the shop popped into her. [i]"He'd never come in her, would he?[/i] she thought, [i]"Is that in his character?"[/i] Standing for a few momments she stood thinking upon it. Coming to the conclusion that it wasn't him, she went back to Naomi. But before she wa sin sight, Zen turned back around, just to check if it was Blynd... [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Blynd: [i]Don't apologize next time. They project their voices as if they wish for the whole world to hear what they are talking about. It just begs for interruption.[/i] Zen: [i]But, I don't mean to be rude to any of them.[/i] Blynd: [i]They're rude the selves, I doubt they care.[/i] Zen stopped looking at the rest of the kimonos. Looking through she found a pale blue, but it had no real pattern design. Rather it was the texture that struck her mind. The cloth was soft and smooth. The middle cloth piece was a much darker blue contrasting to the rest of it and it matches the embroilments on the end of the sleeves, collar and dress. They had small dark blue leaves that cheeped in three inches. "Zen, hurry up!" Lyn yelled from out side of the shop. "Yes, Lyn." Taking the kimono up to the counter, she paid for it. The man at the desk handed the bag to her. "Thank you." she said slightly bowing. "Your welcome." was his reply. Running out side, Zen apologized to the others for taking so long. Looking around she noticed that Ouka had was sending a message. Reminding her that she had forgotten to reply to Blynd. Turning she send a PM rather then getting an instant reply. Especially if he had gotten mad for she said. [i]Blynd, I look forwards to seeing you there.[/i] Turning back around, Ouka, Lyn, and the others had a smile on their faces. Confused, Zen thought she better not ask. Looking around again, someone was missing... "Lyn, where's Ryu?"[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]Logging in...Please wait. .... Log in successful, please wait while transporting. Zen transported in blue data streams. Coming on the ground, bend on one knee as if she were bowing, the metal floating around her head begun to beep and flash a bright, vivid, green. Standing, she froze as she checked her PM Whispers: [i]Zen, Hey. Read the special event today! Isn't it great? Did you Guys Hear about The Valentines special event? Balmung asked me out to event. Who's gonna take you? I'll be waiting at Mac Anu by the Chaos Gate to help buy you guys some Kimonos. OMG! I'm in love! Lyn[/i] "Wow, that's so cute...I'm so happy for Lyn." Zen said to no-one, but her self. Checking that her Jester's Bane was equipped, the indicators around her head spun as she sent out two PM's. The first to Lyn and the second to the character from yesterday; Blynd. In the first she wished Lyn good luck, and that she'll be there soon. But not to wait up for her. In the second, she simply asked if Blynd would be coming to the V. Day's Event. Over the coarse of the day, she had become interested in him. Thinking of what role he was to play out within the confusing mess that bond the players together. After she had logged off...She checked around message boards collecting info on his character. Turning back to the Chaos Gate she rose her hand and whispered: Mac Anu. The three rings spun as she was transporting. Coming out she immediately ran over to read the sign. So she would know what everything was about, after wards she headed over to Lyn. "Lyn! Good luck!" she yelled over. She waved over, seeing that Ryu was with her. Ryu was laughing, and Lyn looked a bit mad. Once by Lyn she stopped, and bowed to the two, "My apologizes for interrupting, gomen.." [/COLOR][/SIZE]
