[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Kayla looked around. "Nothing too out of the ordinary about this dungeon." she noted and beckoned the group towards the portal, swirling around the middle of the room.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]The Portal opened and two Crab Pinchers and Mystery Rock appeared. Kayla, Sakura, and Elk attacked a Crab Pincher while Crim, Subaru, the Silver Knight, and Shadow Mika attacked the other. Flame, Coal, Kia, and Kite took the Mystery Rock.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]After the battle, the group moved onto the next room, fighting monster after monster, opening portal after portal and collecting Bear Cat Eggs after Bear Cat Eggs.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Finally, after over an hour of trudging through the fierce dungeon the group stopped before going into the last room of the last level. Purple flames were rising from the doorway, Kia knew what those flames meant. "Skeith is in there. It's in there. It's waiting. Waiting for Aura...and us..." she said. Kayla nodded. "Well, is everyone ready?" she nervously asked, a bit afraid that something might happen to her. The same thing that happened to her Step-Cousin, Sakura's father, Kite's friend, and a few others, like Kasumi Tomonari a.k.a. Sieg, and Kazu.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Everyone quickly healed themselves, just in case, and made sure that they would have enough supplies before entering the final room. The room that would hopefully not be the last room they would see in "The World."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]Cliffhanger! Oh, and also, I couldn't remember the name of those crab-like monsters so don't get mad at me if I'm wrong, allright? I also couldn't remember which way Kasumi's name went...I couldn't remember if it was Kasumi Tomonari or Tomonari Kasumi, but, oh well![/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=navy][font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]Sorry about not posting! I don't get to get on the internet on a daily basis.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]Erin woke up to the sounds of her Dormmates getting ready for the first day. She looked at the old Grandfather clock along the wall. "6:30, so early..." she grumbled and began to dress.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]She pulled a clean set of clothes from her trunk and slipped them on as Faye walked up to her. Faye rubbed against Erin's legs affectionately and Erin took a minute to pet her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]Then seeing that her dormmates were leaving, she quickly caught up to them. She followed them down the stairs and noticed another first year, straggling behind the group of older of students.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]Erin came up next to the first year. "Hi, I'm Erin. What's your name?" she asked, hoping that she could make a friend of this girl. The girl smiled. "I'm Perri. Who are you?" she answered, just before tripping over a dropped book. Some older students chuckled while Erin helped Perri up. "You ok?" she asked. Perri nodded. "Lets go down to the Great Hall." Perri suggested. Erin nodded. "Sure, let's go."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]The two left the Common Room and made their way down to the Great Hall where everyone was seating themselves and getting breakfast. Perri and Erin took the only two spots left, near the front of the table.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]Erin grabbed some eggs and toast while Perri grabbed some bacon and waffles. They chatted about their families, Hogwartz, and other things as well. Erin began to look around the Great Hall and noticed all the other First Years she had seen while being sorted. She smiled at a few of them, although they didn't notice. "Well, I think I'm going to really like it here." she said happily.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]Ok, I hope someone signs up as Perri because if no one does, I'll feel [b][i][color=black]alone[/color][/i][/b]...[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#000080][color=teal]EDIT:[/color] [color=black]Black[/color] [color=teal]is so dull...[/color][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#008080]EDIT 2: Better, Ryu_Sakura?[/color][/size][/font] [/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Name: DDG (real: Kayla)[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Gender: Female[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Age: 12[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Appearance: I have no recent photos so I'll just make it a good description: 5' 2'', 120 lbs, medium brown shoulder length hair, light brown eyes, glasses. Most of the time I like to wear a black hooded sweatshirt with Eat, Sleep, Skate on it, baggy blue jeans, and black Vans Skateboard shoes.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Why: I am joining because DW is a very funny and likeable person. I also believe that we will get along together great because our personalities match oh so well.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Can't wait for this to start.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Ok, here's my go at it. I hope you like it and if there's anything you don't like tell me and I'll change it.[/color][/size][/font] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=17730[/img]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]For me, it's .hack//SIGN. I've been obsessed ever since my best friend, Mai_Minase, let me borrow .hack//INFECTION to play. That was a few months ago, and since then I've played the other three games and beaten them.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray].hack//SIGN has changed my life because before I found out about it, I never really gave much thought to the idea of MMORPG because I never even knew about them but now I just crave to actually play one like .hack//SIGN.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Because this craving is so strong, it's encouraged me to write more complex and detailed stories enhancing my imaginative and creative mind. .hack//SIGN's confusing story line and plot has helped me realize that I could write something like that. It's made me want to become an Author even more and become a cartoonist as well, because the artwork of these games and the show are so beautifully done and so captivating.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]It's also made me a freak about collecting every single .hack photo I can find. I have so many that I filled up four floppy disks.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]So, I guess, .hack//SIGN has really changed my life, a lot because it has inspired me to be much more creative and imaginative when writing and drawing.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Kayla woke up as she fell off her bed. She'd had another nightmare about her friend and hadn't slept as well as she should've. She landed on Elk and he gently rolled her off himself. "Sorry Elk." she apologized and looked at the clock. "11:00 AM. C'mon you two, lets go get some cereal.." she suggested and walked out to the kitchen. Elk and Katsuki stood up and followed her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple][i]About ten minutes later...[/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]"Come on! I want to do some leveling up before we fight it!" Kayla shouted as Katsuki and Elk slowly finished up their cereal. "Fight what?" they asked. Kayla shook her head as she ran back upstairs to her room. "I'll explain once we log in!" she yelled and disappeared up the stairs.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Log In Screen---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Kayla waited to log in until Katsuki and Elk had came up.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]USERNAME: Kayla[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]PASSWORD: ******[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]USERNAME: Sakura[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]PASSWORD: *****[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]USERNAME: Elk[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black]PASSWORD: ****[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]The three logged in.

I have deciphered the message: Please come to Theta Bursting Forbidden Fortwalls. Skeith is here. Please come quickly.[/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=royalblue][i]I suggest that we should level up to around 30 atleast, before attempting to fight Skeith. Please meet me in Theta Server as soon as you are at atleast level 30.[/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]She hit send and logged into "The World."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Highland City Dun Loireag---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]"C'mon Sakura! Elk! Hurry it up! I want to get to atleas Level 35! I'm only at 25!" Kayla said impatiently to Sakura and Elk as they logged in. The two shook their heads disapprovingly and went with Kayla to a good area to level up in.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple][i]A half hour later...[/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]"Whew, ten levels in one day! That's the most I think all three of us have ever done, right?" Sakura exclaimed. Elk and Kayla nodded. "Yeah, sure is." the three logged out back to Theta Server Root Town.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Highland City Dun Loireag---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Kayla looked around at everyone. "Well, guess you're all here." she said. "Is everyone ready?" they all nodded. "Before we go, I'm going to count to three. Anyone who isn't comfortable doing this should log out before I get to three, got it?" they nodded. "Yes, ma'am!"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]"Ok, 1..." everyone looked at each other for a moment. "...2..." everyone looked at Kayla. "...3..." no one logged out. "Ok then. I guess everyone is ready for this. Everyone stocked up on Mage's Souls, Health Potions, Restoratives, Antidotes, and Ressurections?" she asked. They all nodded. "Ok, lets go then!"[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Must've been the cookies because I cleared those out last night and this morning. There were a bunch of them...but now it's changed. Thanks Shinji, now I can enjoy Elk without having to change my banner and avi.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]" 'Night Katsuki..." Kayla mumbled as she continued playing the game.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Aqua Capital Mac Anu---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]"That was fun!" Flame said excitedly. Kayla nodded and leaned against a wall, thinking. [i]If that monster was so hard to defeat, then I just can imagine how hard it will be to defeat the Phases...I'm not sure if we can even do it anymore[/i]...she thought to herself.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Helba came up to her. "Kayla, we must prepare for the next stage of our plan. We should commence it tomorrow, but if we do, we need everyone to be well rested and wide awake because a single mistake could mean failure, and failure cannot be an option during this mission." Kayla nodded. "Ok, Helba. You're right."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Kayla walked into the middle of the group and announced the plans. "Everyone, please get a good night's sleep and try to get on tomorrow around noon. We will commence the operation at Theta Server Root Town, Highland City Dun Loireag." she addressed the group. "Yes, ma'am!" they all responded and began logging out.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]The Silver Knight was the last to Log Out. He took a last menacing glance at Kayla before disappearing in a yellow swirl. Kayla shook her head. "Wont he ever give up?" she mumbled and quickly logged out.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---ALTIMIT Browser---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]"Huh? New Mail?" Kayla said and opened the email.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=royalblue][i]From: Au&@[/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=royalblue][i]To: Kayla, Kite, Sakura, Elk, Subaru, Crim, Ginkan(silver knight), Shadow Mika, Flame, Coal, Helba[/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=royalblue][i]Pl3a53 (0m3 70 7h37a 8ur571n9 f0&b1dd3n f0r7w@ll5. 5k317h 1$ h3r3.

Skeith is here. Please come quickly." Kayla nodded. [i]Riding the wake is Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.[/i] She recited in her head. It was part of the promised stanza in the Epitaph of Twilight. She sighed. "Tarvos, your end will come soon...soon, once we defeat Skeith, you're only 6 more Phases away..." she mumbled with a fierce tone and pulled her Neuro Goggles off.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Elk had already gotten out of his chair and laid down in his sleeping bag so Kayla shut the game off. She climbed into her own bed and recollected her thoughts of the past few day's events before drifting off to sleep.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Dream/Flashback---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue][i]"This is fun Kayla!" Kayla's friend, Krueger, in "The World" and Trevor in the real world, said.[/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue][i]Kayla nodded. "I told you you'd like it!" she said and then began to look around with a slight nervousness. "Something wrong, Kayla?" Krueger asked. She nodded. "This, this doesn't feel right.." she mumbled and suddenly, a large monster appeared in front of the two.[/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue][i]Krueger went into a battle stance. "C'mon, Kayla! Lets get it!" he yelled and charged at the monster. Kayla screamed at him to stop. "NO! That's, that's--" she was cut off by Krueger's scream of pain as Tarvos, one of the eight phases, used it's spear to Data Drain Krueger. Not wanting anything to happen to herself, Kayla pulled her Neuro Goggles off and saw her friend, her cousin Trevor, in the real world, lying on the floor [color=darkslateblue]unconscious.[/color][/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---End of Dream/Flashback---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Kayla woke up with a jolt and sat up. She looked around her room. It was still dark out but she could see a bit of a morning light out the window. She glanced at the clock. "8:30..." she mumbled and laid back down for more sleep.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]OOC- Yay! It's up! It's up![/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]IC- Katsuki sat up in a tree, wiping the fresh blood off her katana. [i]Another poor soul who lost their life only because they hit on me...[/i] she thought to herself and sheathed her katana. She carefully watched as a Police Swordsman argued with a young girl who looked very similar to Katsuki and Katsuki's other lost siblings.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080][i]Could it be...[/i]she wondered and continued watching as the girl ran from the Police Swordsman. Katsuki then noticed her waving to a man with long reddish hair and a cross shaped scar on his cheek. [i]No, it can't be them. Could it? Maybe I should--[/i] Katsuki's thoughts were interupted by a man yelling up to her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Hey you! Get down here and give me your sword! You know there are anti-sword laws!" the Police Swordsman yelled. Katsuki shook her head at the Police Swordsman. "I have as much right to use this sword to defend myself as you do to use your sword to defend the anti-sword laws." Katsuki said defiantly to the Police Swordsman.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]He growled and began climbing the tree after Katsuki. "Well, I really do wish I could chat longer but I've some business I must attend to." Katsuki smiled and pulled out her sword. She swung it and sliced the Police Swordsman's sword in half. She smirked and sheathed her sword. Jumping quickly from the tree, Katsuki looked around and spotted the girl and the long red-haired man speaking to each other near the river. A young boy was also beside them, waiting for them to finish.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]The young boy said something that, from this distance, Katsuki could not hear and then the three left. Katsuki took one last glance at the Police Swordsman who had climbed up the tree after her, and was now stranded, noticing how far off the ground he was. Katsuki laughed at the Police Swordsman's stupidity and quickly tailed the group.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080][i]If they truly are two of my siblings, then I will have almost fufilled my goal...[/i][/color][/size][/font]

[quote name='AzureWolf][font=Georgia][color=blue]I was just thinking... There are far too many SPAM and/or closed threads bogging up a few of the forums, pushing down some of the real, noteworthy threads. So, I was thinking that threads closed or right-out SPAM could all be moved to a separate forum. That way, the person could go and see why his thread was closed, [i]WHILE[/i] still keeping the forums clean. That entire forum could serve as an example of what to do and what not to do.[/color'][/font][/quote] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]I agree. I see many many closed or spammy topics that are cluttering up some forums and limiting the noticeability of other threads.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Having a SPAM/Closed Thread forums would be a great idea in my opinion. It would definitely be a great place for people to see what not to do when posting and what contributes as SPAM and such.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Plus, I don't think it would be too hard to move the threads to the forums. I personally have my own forums and it's simple to move a topic to another board.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]But I do believe that this would be a very good idea. It would definitely clear up some forums at OB.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]I'm having the same problem as Boba Fett. Every time I open my Edit Content page, my quote is missing and I have to retype it.

The governent hates competition.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Why is this happening and is there a way to fix it?

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]"Kite, Kayla, Sakura, Elk, welcome to Paradise." Helba greeted the four. Kite looked around. "So, this is Net Slum?" he said astonished. Helba laughed. "Yes, but most call it, Paradise."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kite nodded. "Why do you want to meet with me?" he asked. Helba smiled. "To explain our, Kayla, Sakura, Elk, and the rest of her friends, plans." she said. "We need to defeat the Eight Phases and the only way to do that is with your Bracelet." Kite nodded. "Yeah, because the only way to defeat them is to Data Drain them, right?" Helba nodded. "Correct."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla was listening to Helba intently, even though she knew all the plans by heart. Then she noticed that she had new mail. "Hey, I'm going to go check my mail." Sakura nodded. "I've got new mail as well." Elk and Kite said the same. Helba remained silent before Gating Out.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---ALTIMIT Browser---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=royalblue][i]To: Everyone From: Shadow I need help, i was tircked into coming to an area to fight the monster that cannot be defeated, I cannot log out or hurt this thing.

She quickly Logged back into "The World".[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Aqua Capital Mac Anu---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]As Kayla logged in, she noticed everyone else was there. Everyone. Sakura, Elk, Kite, Flame, Coal, Kia, Shadow Mika, Crim, Subaru, the Silver Knight (obviously just trying to protect Subaru), and even Helba.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Helba began addressing the group. "I did some quick research and I believe that this 'monster who cannot be defeated' is a "Guardian" similar to Tsukasa's was. I don't know much about how to defeat it, but I believe that if it is Data Drained by Kite, it can be killed." everyone nodded. "Now, I will be watching everyone's back and making sure everything goes according to plan." she looked to Kite, then to everyone else. "Kite, everyone, are you ready?" They all nodded. "Yes, ma'am!"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Delta Existing Marvel Platue---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]"Ok, let's find Shadow Mika. Quickly!"

Katsuki grinned wider.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"I knew you'd met him outside "The World!" Katsuki exclaimed.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Elk had took off his Neuro Goggles. "Um, who are you?" he nervously asked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"I'm Katsuki. You'd know me as Sakura in "The World," though." Katsuki introduced herself.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Elk nodded. Kayla motioned to the computer. "You going to plug-in and play or what?" she asked. Katsuki smiled. "Sure." she pulled out her Neuro Goggles and her controller.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Highland City Dun Loireag---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla looked around. "Kite should be here. I told him to come." she yawned and called him over Flash Mail. He responded that he couldn't be there for a little while. Kayla nodded.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Well, what should we do until he gets here?" Sakura asked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla shrugged. "Lets go to Aqua Capital Mac Anu." she suggested. The three walked up to the Chaos Gate and went to Mac Anu.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Aqua Capital Mac Anu---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"This is relaxing, isn't it Elk?" Kayla said, turning to Elk. They were sitting on a boat with Subaru, Crim, Sakura, and a few Crimson Knights, floating down a stream in Mac Anu. Elk nodded. "Yeah, it is." he was a bit nervous being around all of the people but he was doing okay.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]The Silver Knight spoke to Sakura. "Is this Kayla?" he asked suspiciously. Sakura smirked. "Yeah, that's her. I'd be careful if I was you though. If you mess with her, she'll do some pretty nasty stuff to you." The Silver Knight frowned. "I'll get her...one day..." he mumbled and went back with the rest of the Crimson Knights.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Subaru shook her head. "Silver Knight is never going to give up on arresting/deleting anyone who is in league with Helba." then Subaru lowered her voice. "is Kayla a Hacker?" she whispered. Sakura shrugged. "Not that I know of. Of course, I didn't even know she knew Elk in the real world so she could be."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Crim looked around and saw a player waving at the boat to stop. Crim stopped it and let the player on. "You're Shadow Mika, I take it?" he concluded. Shadow Mika nodded. Crim called Subaru over and the three began to talk.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla looked around. "Shoot, I have to go meet Kite!" she exclaimed. The boat hadn't begun moving again so she grabbed Elk and pulled him off onto land with her. Sakura said bye to Subaru and Crim and jumped off after Kayla and Elk.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Highland City Dun Loireag---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Sorry I'm late Kite." Kayla apologized. Kite nodded. "It's ok. I haven't been here very long anyway." he looked around. "So, where are we going?" he asked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla smiled. "Net Slum." she answered and led Sakura, Kite, and Elk to the Chaos Gate. "Lambda Cultural City Carmina Gadelica..." she muttered.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Real World, In Kayla's Room---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]In the real world, Kayla had pulled out her laptop and opened up a program. She hooked the laptop up to the main computer and used the program to hack into Lambda Server. Katsuki had lifted up her Neuro Goggles slightly upon hearing the words of an in-accessible Server.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Katsuki gasped. "Kayla, you're, you're--" Kayla interupted her. "Yes, I'm a Hacker. Why do you think I admire Helba? She's the one who taught me everything I now know about Hacking." Katsuki shook her head. "Well, I guess, now that I know you're a Hacker, there's only one more thing I don't know about you."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla frowned. "The reason I'm trying to return "The World" to normal, to help the comatose victims, is because--" Kayla's mom walked in. "Kayla, it's getting late. You need to go to bed. Just because you're on Winter Vacation doesn't mean you can stay up late every night." she looked at Katsuki and Elk. "Are your friends staying the night?" she asked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Katsuki and Elk looked at each other, then at Kayla's mom, then at Kayla as she casually closed her laptop so as her mom didn't see her hacking program. "We'll go call our Mom's." Elk and Katsuki said and put their Neuro Goggles and Controllers down on the computer desk. They left the room with Kayla's mom.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla put her Neuro Goggles back on.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Lambda Server Root Town Cultural City Carmina Gadelica---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Sorry about the delay, Kite. Sakura and Elk will be back in a minute." Kayla informed Kite.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#000080]Hmm...mwahahaha...I worship Helba...[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]SM13, I hate to be mean but I can barely understand what you said. Next time you post, you think you could maybe clarify who's saying what and maybe read back over your post before posting it because you've forgotten a lot of words that can make a sentence hard to understand, words like [font=Arial Black]a[/font].[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]I'm such a grammar freak...[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]"Well, Flame, this is Elk. He's, he's my, friend. A very close friend." Kayla explained to Flame.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Flame smirked. "You mean he's your boyfriend, right?"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Well, I guess you could put it that way." Elk mumbled. Elk was wasn't very comfortable when talking to a number of people at one time. He was socially inept.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"We're here to admire the wonders of Virtual Realism and to level up." Kayla said.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Flame nodded. "Well, have you found out anything of importance?" she asked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla shook her head. "No, I was just about to go check the board, though." she grabbed Elk and they both Logged Out.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---The Board---[/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Re: The Monster Who Cannot Be Defeated[/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Author: Kayla[/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]This area is a hoax. There was no monster there.[/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Highland City Dun Loireag---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Kayla looked around. "I guess I should try and call everyone to see if they've found out anything." she mumbled and began calling everyone.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]A Phase may be coming soon.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Kayla waited patiently outside for Elk to get there. She looked at her watch. "6:00. Wonder if Mom'll let me take him back home for dinner." she said quietly.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]She looked down the road and saw Elk pedaling towards her on his bike. He hit his brakes and schreeched to a stop next to her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]He smiled. "Hi Kayla." he hopped off his bike and hugged her. She smiled and hugged him back. "Hi Elk." she grabbed her bike from the bike rack and climbed on. Elk got back on his bike.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"So, where do you want to go, Kayla?" Elk asked as they slowly pedaled down the street.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]She looked at him and shrugged. "How about you come back to my house? My mom should be making dinner pretty soon." she suggested. Elk nodded and the two pedaled towards Kayla's house.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---After Dinner, In Kayla's Room---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla and Elk both put on their Neuro Goggles and picked up their controllers.

Kayla asked. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Elk looked around. "Let's go to the Theta Server. It's open now, and if we did, we could level up a lot because the area's there are a lot stronger." Kayla nodded and they both used the Chaos Gate to go to the Theta Server's Root Town, Highland City Dun Loireag.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Theta Hidden Smiling Wavemaster---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"This area is beautiful as well." Kayla mumbled as Elk and her stared up at the sky, but on guard in case any monsters came wandering by.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Yeah..." Elk mumbled.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]Elk! I just love him...[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]Thank you so much. Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again for your help.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]I've always noticed that some people have a color effect in their signatures. I've been wondering how this is done.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]For example, in Sara's signature, there is a sort of 'color transition' on the words: james has geish fetish.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]I'd just like to know how to do this so I can spice up my signature.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=gray]OOC- My stupid computer was being stupid again and didn't post my very long post. Now I have to try and remember...[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]---Net Slum---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Kayla, I haven't seen you in awhile. What did you wish to meet with me about?" Helba asked as Kayla Gated In to Net Slum.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"I wanted to talk about Kite, the bearer of the Bracelet." Kayla answered as Helba and her began walking around Net Slum.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Helba nodded. "Yes, Kite, the bearer of the Bracelet. A key asset to our plans. Without him, we cannot defeat the Phases."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Yeah, well, I met him today while checking out that area that was posted on the board. He's agreed to help." Kayla informed Helba.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"I though he would. Next time you see him, please tell him to meet me here." Helba said and Gated Out.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla nodded. "Ok Helba. Will do..." she mumbled and walked to the other side of Net Slum where Elk was waiting for her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]---Plenteous Smiling Hypha---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Isn't this place beautiful, Kayla?" Elk asked. Kayla nodded. Elk and her were laying amongst the flowers and grass of Elk's favorite area.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]The area was a very beautiful one. Wild flowers and grasses grew everywhere. Mushrooms, Grunty Food, were plentiful and very easy to spot.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Kayla, can we meet at the Internet Cafe again?" Elk asked suddenly and unexpectedly.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla stared at him. "Of course Elk. Why?" she questioned.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]"Because it's fun to be with you outside of "The World". I really like you. So, when can we?" he asked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla looked up into the sky. "Can you come right now? Because I'm actually at the Cafe at this moment." she answered, looking back over at Elk.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Elk smiled. "Ok. I'll be there soon." he Gated Out as did Kayla.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]---Real World---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla pulled her Neuro Goggles off and looked at Carrie and Amber. She hated to leave the two without telling them anything but meeting Elk was something she had to do alone. She didn't want the two tagging along or something.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]Kayla silently put her Neuro Goggles and Controller into her backpack and slipped it on. She walked out of the Cafe, taking one last glance at Carrie and Amber before the Cafe doors closed.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#808080]That was way different from what I was originally going to post, but, I think this one is much better.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]Kayla looked around the field. She didn't see anything wrong at all. "I hope this isn't a hoax, we've been getting a lot of these lately..." she mumbled and led the group to the dungeon.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]The group entered the stone wall dungeon and still didn't notice anything strange. They quickly made their way through to the bottom level, only stopping for Sakura to collect eggs.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]"Sakura, haven't you got enough Bear Cat Eggs for one day?" Kayla complained.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]Sakura shook her head. "I'm not going to stop collecting eggs throughout this whole dungeon! I want a Bony Grunty!" Kayla shook her head as Sakura ran to a Golden Egg and grabbed it.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]---A Little Farther Into The Dungeon---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]"Well, here's the last room." Flame said.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]Sakura nodded. "Is everyone ready?"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]Coal, Flame, Kia, and Kayla all nodded.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]"Remember, if it's Skeith or something, immediately take off your Neuro Goggles if it comes near you. We can't fight it. Not yet." Kayla ordered. Everyone nodded.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]They all ran into the next room. Kayla, in the real world, had put one hand on the side of her Neuro Goggles, and was now playing with one hand.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]She had been expecting to see Skeith, Aura, or even some other Phase. But all she, and the rest of the group saw was a Twin Blade boy. He looked at the group.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]"I see you read the post on the board as well." He said and the group nodded.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]Kayla stepped forward. "Your name wouldn't happen to be Kite, would it?" she asked. The boy nodded.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]She then ran up to him. "Kite, my friends and I, are investigating the strange happenings in "The World" as well. I know about your Bracelet. I know that the only way to defeat the Phases is if you use your Bracelet to Data Drain the monster." She explained to him. "So, will you help us?" she asked. Kite thought about it for a moment before nodding.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]"Lately, I've been getting a lot of these kind of hoax areas. I've seen a few on the board and checked them out and sometimes people email areas to me because they think it's funny to play tricks on me." Kayla said with an angered tone.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]Kite nodded. "Yeah, I've seen a lot of hoax areas on the board. People think this is just a joke. That nothing is going to happen. That this is just something that's not going to escalate into something dangerous."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]The rest of the group walked up behind Kayla. She introduced them all to Kite.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]She looked around. "I have other things I have to do elsewhere in "The World" so, I'll see you three," she pointed to Sakura, Coal, and Flame. "later, in the Cafe. Maybe I'll see you later in "The World" or something." she said to Kia and Kite. They all nodded.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]Just before Kayla used a Sprite Ocarina, Sakura took her off to the side. "Where are you going?" she demanded.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]Kayla smiled. "To Net Slum. I want to talk with Helba and I told Elk to meet me there as well."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]Sakura shook her head. "You've really got a thing for him, don't you?" Kayla smiled and nodded. "Have you met him in the real world yet?" Sakura asked.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]Kayla smiled mysteriously. "Maybe, maybe not. That's something that I'm not going to tell you..." she used a Sprite Ocarina and left the dungeon.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=dimgray]OOC- Eeeeeh!! Elk!!! Oh, and we had to meet Kite so as we can defeat the Phases. *marvels in the glory of how long her post was*[/color][/size][/font]

[color=navy][size=1]Kayla looked around. "Damn, Mom's making me do the laundry. I'll be at the Cafe ASAP, though." She logged out. [i][b][u]Real World[/b][/i][/u] Kayla quickly did the laundry. She did it so fast she wasn't sure she had even put a dryer sheet in the dryer or detergent in the washer. "Ok Mom! I'm done!" she yelled after throwing the last load into the washer. "Ok, you can go do what you want then." her mom yelled back. She ran to her room and grabbed her Neuro Goggles and backpack. She put her goggles and controller inside the backpack and grabbed her stocking cap, it was rather cold outside. She pulled her coat on, yelled to her mom where she was going, grabbed her shoes and put them on as she ran out the door. She looked at her watch as she hopped on her bike. "4:30! Oh, I'm way late! I hate chores!" she yelled and began peddling down the road to the Cafe. [b][i][u]Internet Cafe[/u][/i][/b] Kayla parked her bike outside on the bike rack and walked inside the Cafe. She looked around and saw Katsuki sitting at a table with a few other people. Kayla walked up to them. "Sorry I'm late. My Mom made me do--" "She made you do [i]all[/i] the laundry, didn't she?" Katsuki said, smiling slightly. Kayla frowned. "It's not funny Katsuki!" she yelled and sat down in a chair near a girl. "Well, Kayla, this is Carrie a.k.a. Flame," she pointed to the girl across from Kayla. She smiled and waved to me. "that's James a.k.a. Shadow Mika," she pointed to a man beside Carrie. He smiled at Kayla. "and that's Amber a.k.a. Coal." she pointed to the girl next to Kayla. Kayla frowned. "Wait, you're a girl in real life, but a guy in "The World"?" She exclaimed. Amber nodded. Kayla shook her head. "Well, let's get to work then." she said and smiled at the group.[/size][/color]

[color=navy][size=1]OOC- Hehe, you and your Noble Grunties, lol. IC- As they walked down the stairs to the next Basement Level Kayla and Kana were still discussing Grunties. "I think it's really funny that you can only raise Noble Grunties because, even though I'm not an expert, I've raised a Noble Grunty, a [spoiler]Poison Grunty[/spoiler], a [spoiler]Iron Grunty[/spoiler], a Bony Grunty, and an [spoiler]Aqua Grunty[/spoiler]." Kayla said, laughing. Kana hit her on the shoulder. "Shut up!" Kayla kept laughing as the group walked into the next room. A portal whirled and spun as a few monsters appeared. The group fought the monsters off before heading to the next room. OOC- Can't type much *coughs*. I am sick. *coughs* And I can't think of much to type about. *coughs again* I couldn't help but use the spoiler tags, I know I told Mai some of the Grunties but I don't know if she remembers and I'm going to make her find out on her own. *laughs then has coughing fit*[/color][/size]

[color=navy][size=1]The group wandered past numerous portals, a few having treasure chests while the others having monsters. The Area Level was low so it was easy for Kite, Kayla and Kana. Kia was struggling in the area. She was much lower level than everyone else but she was perservering. Because her level was so low, though, she was leveling up every few battles. After the group defeated the last portal in the field, they ran to the dungeon. They ran into the entrance of the dungeon. It looked like a large dragons head because it was a flesh wall dungeon. Inside they looked around, astonished. The inside of the dungeon had holes with lines of data showing. Suddenly, a flash went through the screen but was gone as soon as it had come. "This, this is weird. I've never experienced anything like this before." Kayla muttered. Kana nodded but Kite and Kia remained silent. The group continued on through the next few rooms fighting monsters and collecting treasure and eggs.[/color][/size]
