"ARGH!" Damo cried as he awoke to someone trying to move him. The pain was the most intense he had ever felt...it wasn't in either of his wounds. They felt fine compared to the headache he felt. It became steadily worse and worse until he collapsed to his knees. Managing to look around at his comarades he could see Nayomi and Duke going through something similar. He tried to cry out but it was lost to him...."WHAT IS THIS!?" Damo yelled. As he did so the room kicked and shaked. The walls began spliting from the strain of his energy bouncing off them. Suddenly a huge chunk of ceiling directly over top of him collapsed. Suddenly a shield appear'd over him....a visible shield of energy.."Okay this is strange..."Suddenly the shield enveloped the ceiling in an orb. The orb hung there for a moment until itslowly lowered to the floor. "Okay that was odd" Damo said as he realized the pain went away...he felt strong again. That s until he looked down at his own blood seeping out his wounds. It wasn't enough to kill him but it was enough to slow him down. "Jinx!" Something was wrong with Jinx too. Running to her side Damo was suddenly aware of the heat she was putting off. Way to much to get close to....All he could do was sit and watchin horror. OOC: Not the most creative, but I do have a plan for it.

Obviously I'm not a mom. But I would like to say, and this goes out to any other Otaku mom, that I'm very proud that you takethe time to do something you love. Not saying that all you do its take care of your kids and post on Otaku. But obviously that's the only one I know of. Since that's the only thing I know of, I'd like to hear what else you Otaku moms are passionate about and how often you get to do them. Once again, though I'm grown and out of my nest I remember how my mom never took the time for herself and it eventually became the death of her. Unfortunatelly I took that from her so I'm scared to death, so I do challenge you to take whatever it is you're passionate about and make it a daily/weekly/monthly routine. (obviously depending on what it is). So thank you to all the moms out there.

"Shrimp?" damo growled softly. "Damo your awake?" Nayomi asked, her voice failing to mask the pain she was enduring. "Yes I've been awake for a couple moments now...trying to use even a small portion of my powers...but I can't seem to even make the chair shake for some reason." "Yes, it seems like there's something keeping our powers in check. I'm not sure what it is....Damo listen.." "Stop" Damo snapped "I heard what you said a minute ago. You can't blame yourself forany of this. We all CHOOSE to follow you...You did nothing wrong, besides I'm sure Duke and Jinx will be here anytime." "You really like her don't you?" Nayomi asked, her voice seemed to get weeker "Jinx that is" "no...well stupid to lie I guess I haven't been hiding it very well....but it doesn't matter all that matters is nomatter what they try. We face it together, and we'll be alright." Damo searched and found her hand behind him, and gave it a squeeze. "I made my decision in the battle knowing full well what would happen....you don't have to worry I won't tell them anything." He squeezed her hand again as the door opened up. "So little shrimp you're awake" "Yeah untie me and call me that you bastard" Damo could feel his powers sore within him...he couldn't however, focus them on anything....they were being blocked somehow. The man approached him with a hideous looking dagger. "I plunged this into your friend...her blood dried on it...and now It hungers for yours. I will ablidge it if you don't tell us everything about your little band of freaks. And why your impeding our ascent into eden." "well...it's like this We want to get to eden as well....except our crazy cult leader says we must save the children from other crazy cults....isn't that ironic?" Damo smirked until he felt the cold blade slice a deep cut from his left shoulder down to his right hip. damo only yelped slightly. All the mental energy he couldn't use agains them, he used to keep himself from screaming....that is until the man plunged the dagger into his thigh and twisted it in a complete circle. The next voice Damo heard was nayomi's coming across the com link 'Be strong damo....and I'm sorry" All he could do was hope his voice was heard. "I made my choice Nayomi...and no matter what. Id followyou to the gates of hell and back." Next was only darkness....and the strong taste of copper filling his mouth

Damo knew what to expect when he awoke. He tried to fight anyways. His arms bound to a chair in a dark room...silence..nothing but dark silence. He rocked his chair a slight bit and felt something behindhim. Before passing out he had remembered Nayomi dropping as well. Thinking she was dead at the time for a second Damo fear'd the same. "Nayomi! NAYOMI!" Damo heard himself scream. "Relax...I'm here" She replied faintly. He couldn't tell if she was hurt or if she was just waking up as he was. "I'm sorry I didn't run like you ordered me to. I just knew if I did I would make it to the others....but I Knew there was no way to get youout, and I also knew what they wanted...well at least that they'd want to capture us instead of kill us right out." Damo became woosie, wether from the blow he took that finally rendered him unconscious, or some sort of drugs they used to keep him dazed so there would be no hope of him using his powers. Damo allowed himself to be taken into the darkness of sleep, "God I hope they don't seperate us Nayomi..." He knew he didn't actually say it but he tried...he also thought he heard a mans voice through some sort of speaker. "Enemies of eden..." But that was all he heard.

[quote name='Nerdsy'][color=deeppink] makes me think you don't really know how tabeltops work, despite the fact that you take your handle from a DnD character; [/QUOTE] Actually that's not true. I got it from R.A. Salvatore. Though I'm not sure where he came from first.

Damo concentrated all his mental energy on the group of small maple trees nearby. Three of the trees lurched out of the ground causing damo to cry out in pain. "Eat this!" Damo yelled as he flung the trees in the direction of the right flank crashing them into the area Nayomi wanted to cluster. Four rows deep were pounded by the young trees, though they were no more than 15 feet tall and only 8 inches thick they still did major damage. As the trees settle and the sea of red began clamering over, they burst into flames. Damo smiled as he watched Jinx go to work. Everyman within 5 feet of the tree was instantly incinerated, others died slower, and even others were incopacitated with 1st degree burns....Suddenly one of the ones laying on the ground rose and flung a knife at damo. Purley out of instinct Damo deflected the dagger back at him, plunging it into his heart...."How did I do that?" Damo wondered as he looked at the man "How did I summon my powers on instinct like that....by all rights I should've been dead" Damo willed himself over the flames and into the sea of red. As he landed he let out oa burst of mental energy knocking the close by enemies to the ground....with a short lived smile Damo glanced at Louis...was he staring at Jinx??? Damo couldn't fight back the jealousy, he knew he couldn't compete with Louis...Jinx would never like damo like he liked her and he accepted that fact. But Louis liking hertoo.. I'll never have a chance now. Using his jealous rage as a catylist. Damo stripped two of the downed men of their blades and threw his into the air. "I can't take this....you evil men will PAY" Damo was surprised at the volume of his voice...it didn't even sound like him. He began spinning all four blades around him in a furry. As themen around him did all they could to fend off the furry of blades, But it was short lived, Damo's furry caused the blades to move to fast and man after man was cut down in his furry.... Suddenly it seemed Damo had reached his limit...All his power drained for teh time being he collapsed to his knees. As the men surrouned him. Damo saw Nayomi, Louis, and Reiku were all busy. He was done for...noone would be able to save. him. He began summoning all his energy for a possible levitation...but he knew he probably wouldn't be able to do it...."Looks like the dream is becoming a reality for me...damn"

This may come off as me being sarcastinc but it's not meant to. I'm just confused on the whole Dungeons and dragons thing. You pay money for a couple books that tell you how to use your imagination? Now I'm not"poking fun" or anything like that, but it just seems to me that you could use your already indepth knowledte of monsters, dungeons, heros, ___sided dice, and huge fantasy worlds to play the same thing with your friends and make it better (since everythings better when you have a say in how its run. Since we're all ego maniacs of somesort and love to have our say in things) That also goes for buying the expensive figureines. Now I can understand that more because once again you are able to add your influence...though I think it'd be morefun to get one of those weapons and warriors games I used to have with the cannon and giant crossbows (I know they're called balitsas but not everyone may know that so backoff). Get a ton of risk pieces and just go to town ON a side note I agree with cards being table top games...but what about indian poker (I know it has another name but I'm not sure what it is. I do know it's the one where you stick a card to your forhead) Would that be sort've advanced table top gamig.....and on that note if it is, does that mean people who play advanced dungeons and dragonsstick things to their foreheads?

I think this could be a fun RP if it's given the chance. Name: Travis "Lunar stalker" White Age: 21 Personality: Likes to be a loner, but as his half wolf nature he feels the need to protect the pack and will take a bullet for any ally. Appearance: Travis is covered with black hair dusted with silver. His face is that of a wolf. His red eyes areblue during the daylight, but in the dark they glow red to allow for his advanced vision. His body is more that of a mans, except his arms are elongated to allow him to move on all fours, and his hands are much larger. [url]http://www.tlucretius.net/ote/erwolf.jpg[/url] Weapon: Though his 1"long fingernails double as claws. Travis prefers his special blade "Leader of the Pack". Its blade is 4' long 8" wide slightly curved blade compliments Travis' 6'8 frame perfectally (Thik of something similar to Auron's type of weapns from FFX) Abilities: Alpha Male: As his allies grow weak in battle. Travis can take their weakness and gain a super burst of strength and speed. Though he pays hevily and if he gains to much he will die. Haunting Howl: Calls upon his ancestors classic howl. The howl Travis emits can mess with the mind of opponents bringing out their worst fears. This does not work agains experienced opponents. BIO: Travis was born to normal parents in the "normal" world. Fearing for his life they fled into the rural countryside where they lived for 2years. Being that Travis was part wolf his mind aged almost like a canine. By his second birthday he was already doing things that most 7 year olds could do. Things were great He had plenty of room to run....One day however it changes...as it always does in these dark times. One day Travis returned from a walk through the woods. It was the day of his third birthday. When he returned he was horrified, his fathers severed head layed upon the ground just a few feet from his body. He heard his mothers cries for help from their shack.Rushing to her aid Travis saw a man with a shroud over his head raping her....Suddenly Travis' love for his mother and father their own little pack surged a power within him. Green energy appeared, only to Travi's eyes, to float from his distressed mother and dead father. The energy surrounded him and entered his body. Though there was no visible effect on his motherthe energy caused an erie green glow from travis he was sure could be seen since the man turned and stared at him. "I knew the welp wasn't dead as you said, you traitors will all pay" The man arrose drawing a blade and lunged for Travis, not knowing that though he was that young he was as strong as he was. Easily dodging travis insctintively sunk his teeth into the mans neck severing the precious juggular vein. The man collapsed and Travis ran to his mother...suddenly something wizzed by his head. A large Chakram flew past travis and imbedded itself into his mothers chest so suddenly her eyes went dark in an instant. Turning to face his new foe his strength suddenly left as the state he was in wore off. He saw another man standing in the doorway. He looked exactally like the first even sounded like him. "For a lil wolf pup you certainly don't have very good senses perhaps I should let you live...no its time to......" He never got to finish his sentence, three wolves lept upon the man from behind and instantly killed him. Travis lived with the pack for 10 years. Always the alpha male protecting the pack, but never letting himself get to close because of what happened to his birth parents, and also since he would live to see countless generations of his wolf brethern fall, but he himself would age as a human. Wandering through the forest one day Travis wandered into a clearing on a hunt. His 13 year old eyes grew and a smile crossed his face. There were people like him, half animal half human everywhere. Though he loved his pack he returned only to ask they join him, of course they declined but promised they would center their pack just outside the clearing sothey could always be together. Travis returned to the clearning, he noticed all the eyes staring at him unknowing, untrusting, until a girl approached him Travis was unable to descern if she was older or younger but she introduced herself as madeline neko..and she needed him.

"Keep up if you can Jinx!" Damo yelled as he made his way to the right flank of the men. Damo went into a baseball slide as a sword narrowly missed his head. [I] Antidote or not that woulda killed me either way [/I] Coming up in a roll Damo's daggers were already in his hand. "Common let's do this" Damo growled. The man slowly drew a second shorter blade and began charging at Damo. "Yipes!" Both men's blades rang loudly as they met, a second clang. Just as Damo realized Jinx wasnt going to make it before the other men surrounded him. "Sorry bout your luck big guy but I don't have time" Damo immediately lept bak bring a nearby branch full force into the back of the mans skull, dropping him to the ground completly unconscious. "Hmmm Jinx, at this ratethey're just going to keep scattering towards us....unless" Damo glanced over at a nearby tree a small smileon his face.

I this contest's rules need to be more defined. We have the first story by Crimson that's only a paragraph long. Then there's Chibi's story thats....well lets just say it's a lot longer. Also, should we be voting now since both of you posted a story? I'd like to participate but I'm confused about the whole thing.

I'm not going to add quotes in here or anything. I'm just basically going to paraphrase. 1) Never be afraid to ask for help 2.) Make sure you have an idea and an outline of an eventual outcome. I've seen too many RP's die off because of lack of direction. Not that you should plan every step in reaching the eventual "goal". That would take any creativity out of it for the players, just make sure that it has a begining, an end, and keep in touch with your players so they're all involved. It sucks when it seems like you have to go out of your way for your character to matter. Never leave anyone out, they will quit if they don't feel like they're an important part of the story. Hmm that's about all I have. I'd love to be involved in some way shape or form, I've never hosted a RP here, but I've been in more than a few and I know what seems to work.

I was hooked on risk in high school. We always used the floor instead of the table though. (Had a friend who used to play dungeons and dragons. Think he still does...and that's probably all he does)

It'll all seemed to happen so fast. First this girl crashed through the window. Damo did his best to take charge until Nayomi arrived but it seems like he was just ignorned. [I]Grr that's aggrevating. There's no reason Louis couldn't have interegated her with the rest of us. What would he have done if those demons would have decided to attack. As a group we could've dispatched them easily. Foolishness[/I]. Damo began walking out of the room to go find Nayomi. About to knock on her door Damo heard a noise from inside. Muffled at first it became clearer by the second. [I]Oh dear god, what the hell[/I] Damo decided he was going to go back out and finish his walk. Maybe scout around for the men who were after Kai...it indeed there were any. [I]I just need to clear my head[/I] As he walked past Jinx Damo grabbed her shoulder. "Hey do me a favor, when you hear someone leave Nayomi's room go find her and tell her I'm going for a walk and I'm going to see if I cant validate Kai's claim...or disprove it. Either way I need to get out of here". Not waiting for a reply Damo exited the mansion in an angry state. [I]Don't see why Louis couldn't wait for Nayomi...she's the leader afterall. Oh well, not like anyone would listen to your protest anyways.[/I] The night air chilled Damo as he began his walk around down town rome.... OOC: This will be my last post until either Sunday night or Monday morning, so anyone feel free to manipulate my character as you see fit....well as long as that doesn't lead to my death...that would suck.

After Louis introduced himself it was Damo's turn. "I'm Damo Jackson...and you are?" Damo wasn't like Louis, and he knew it, he couldn't hide the suspicion of the newcomer. "I'm Kai Salems, and yes I am like you" As Damo shook her hand he thought he had heard a low pitched growl coming from her. "Wait...you just crashed through our window...what's going on?" It was easy to see she was being persued. Damo stepped to the window and examined the area within his sight. Nothing, nothing but a cool Roman night. "Louis, If you can get a message to Nayomi and Duke...I'll round up the others." He looked right into Kai's eyes. "You're staying with me until you can explain to everyone what's going on. You're safe in this house with me and the others." He motioned for her to follow and lead her to the common room to await the others.

"Umm I don't think this is a good stop for ice cream...I think we need to go somewhere else" Damo said as he started proding Sin the other way. Damo saw duke and Nayomi strolling though the fountain and didn't want Sin to see them. As they strolled back in the direction of the mansion they heard a crash. "Back at the mansion Sin, lets get going!" damo started running for the mansion as fast as he could. He hadn't thought about securing the perimeter before taking off and apparently neither had Nayomi or Duke. [I]damn this figures, can't seem to get one night of peice and quiet in this dam line of work[/I] As the mansion came into sight Damo could see the broken window. It was right next to Jinx's room. A rush of energy flowed through Damo and he began running faster than he'd ever run before. Tearing through the mansion and bursting through the door to the hallway Damo saw a curious sight. A young girl, probably a little younger than Damo was standing in the hallway by herself. He could sense a strangeness about her, he was about to speak to her to find out what the hell was going on when someone beat him to it....

OOC: takuuya, I make a reference to your power in this post. I was assuming that it would be something that fell into what Sin can do with his power. If it isn't just let me know and I'll edit accordingly. [I]What the hell is going on here?[/I] Damo thought to himself as he watched his shadow dance on the wall...Suddenly he realized who was behind the elaborate prank. "hehe, good one sin" Damo laughed. "Too bad I can't dance as well as you made my shadow" Sin materialized out of a small black circle that appeared on the ground beside Damo with a grin so big, all of rome could surley see it...Damo couldn't help think while he thought about the younger members power. [I]Wow, so young and already such control over his powers.[/I] Damo was impressed, it took so much out of him to consciously use his powers, but here Sin performed an immensly difficult shadow manipulation/teleportation and didn't seem to be phased one bit. "I see you learned the teleportation from JB quickly, you must have pretty sharp mind like him" Damo could see Sin's face light up from being compared to his idol. "Oh I wish I had a mind like Mr. Brookstone's. It would be such a nice addition to...." " Sin!" Damo cut him off "I'm not trying to be mean but you need to start calling him JB, I know your happy to meet him and JB's a hell of a guy. But you need to remember that he is a person too, just like the rest of us he makes mistakes and he needs people to watch his back just like the rest of us...though attmitingly he doesn't make mistakes often. He's still going to need you watching his back and if your awe struck you could make a mistake as well." Damo couldnt help but wonder if he'd hurt Sin's feelings. Picking up a rock from the ground he stoped walking and motioned for Sin to do the same. "Want to have a little wager?" Sin looked at Damo wondering what he was talking about "Lets see if you can hit my fastball. Pick up that stick laying over there and see if you can hit it. "You're on!" Sin exclaimed excitedly. Damo began winding up like he did in little league baseball. "Remember it's not going to bounce, it's not like cricket." Damo grinned at his own stupid crack. He released the rock down the alleyway waiting on Sin. As he saw the shadow begin his swing he immideateally grabbed the rock and shot it into the air so fast the shadow dimminished in a heartbeat and by the time Sin finished his swing there was nothing there. "Now that's not fair!" Sin yelled releasing the shadow. Damo couldn't help control himself, he'd been the best pitcher at his high school for a reason before the incident. "Don't worry I'll still buy, you just have to do one thing for me" Sin stared at Damo perplexed. "You have to laugh" Sin stared at damo "Laugh at what?" Sin didn't know damo had been tracking the rock since he launched it, he used his minds eye to guid it right back into Sins shoulder. "Oww!" Sin said as it struck him. Looking down at the rock and back at damo Sins face grew tense. "Not healthy to hold it in" Damo told him through his own laughter. Laughter suddenly exploded from Sin as well. "Common lets go, I'm in the mood for some ice cream."

Rome...the ancient city. [I]If only this could be a vacation[/I] Damo thought to himself admiring the lights from his room. Damo had began reading about ancient Rome in school...well before the incident. damo could still hear his fellow classmates screaming as the bomb exploded in the cafeteria. A religious fanatic decided that a school that did not practice religion was the devils doing and it and all the students who attended needed to be "Saved". He planted devices all over the school, suddenly when it went off everything was enveloped in flame....everything except Damo. Unknowingly releaseing his powers he was able to form a "wall" around himself with his thoughts. He survived and everyone wanted to know why. His parents gave him up for adoption just a week later and then he found his way to his real family eventually....It was time to put everything behind him...time to enjoy himself and relax a little. Damo decided a walk was in order, everyone would be using the showers until later and he'd always wanted to see Rome.... Walking down the hallway he paused at the door to the showers, he could hear Nayomi and...someone else. "Son of a bitch finally did it" Damo smiled. Everyone knew Duke had a thing for Nayomi..."Just hope she feels the same about him" Pausing at Jinx's door Damo thought about knocking...[I]I shouldnt bother her now. She's probably feeling jet lagged anyways.[/I] Instead Damo choose to knock on JB's door. "Who is it?" He could hear JB's voice. "It's Damo, Nayomi's in the shower and I didn't want to take off without anyone else knowing....if anyones looking for me have them give me a call, I'm just going to check out the area around the mansion...see if there are any sites to see or security risks." Damo walked down the stairs with a little skip in his step. He'd been able to flush his memory of all the negative stuff from the past couple days. All he could think about was he was in Rome....and how he wished he could be a little more like Duke right now.

I thought I'd add that I've been serving in the Air National Guard for almost 5 years now. Currently a Staff Sergeant and Loving it. I've been deployed to Iraq, England, and the most recnt will be South Korea in less than a week.

All I have to say for bad weather is....snow...We just had snow come through on April 29th here in Ohio. Now IDK what the man upstairs is trying to do, but that's just cruel and unusual.

The #1 thing for me that has worked throughout the years is balance the mental with the physical. If you get tired of staring at the screen, go for a run. if you can't run, do push ups and sit ups till you can't do anymore. Then by the time you shower up you'll either be ready to crash out or hit the books again.

I always try and get a voluntary deployment around sprintime. It's the best time to go most anywhere. This year however I'm scheduled to go to South Korea, I don't know if anyone from there can verify. But I hear in May it starts to get HOT over there?

Though I don't have the time to post half as much as I did years ago. I still follow the basic routine. I check whose online and what they're doing (To make sure I don't RP or post somewhere someone already is) Check my messages, and then proceed to check the lounge for anything new to post in.

Damo couldn't cringe when he saw the last thing Jinx wrote. [I]You look like shit from where I'm sitting WTF happened?[/I] Damo considered a moment looking over at Jinx...he couldn't lie to her....but could he let her know what had happened. "Jinx...can we talk in private" Damo stood up and motioned to the back of the plane. Waiting on Jinx to follow...Damo picked out two seats in the back of the plane that would provide the most privacy possible. "So what's up Damo?" Jinx asked in a whisper. "Well....I had this dream...In it our mission was..stopped by men wearing red cloaks." He waited for her obvious response. It would be bad he knew he let her in for the first time ever and she was going to annhialate him for it. "Damo it was just a dream, a bad one yes but nothing to be worried about. Yes its odd you had a dream about guys in cloaks seeing as our mission has to do with a cult but its nothing to worry about." She was surpirsingly reassuring...no sarcastic tones in her voice. Damo broke into a smile that was short lived. "Besides, If any strange men try to hurt you I'll get umm for ya chief" Damo knew it was coming but he still walked right into it. Sensing the obvious doubt in her voice Damo continued..."Listen you have to promise me you won't tell the team...especially about the eeriest part. The symbol on their cloaks was the exact symbol on the computer." Damo could feel the color rush out of his face. Though he didn't have a clue what she'd say. he sat waiting for her jabs at his childlike behavior...

Damo's knees went weak...the symbol. The picture on the webpage matched the symbol on the dream monk's Cloak exactally. The whole dream came flooding back to him almost as if it was happening again....again he saw his whole team killed just as it had been before. Coming too in a cold sweat he debated telling his team. [I]What if I'm wrong and this dream is meant as a warning to me alone...maybe nothings going to happen to anyone but me...[/I] Deciding it was better kept to himself damo cranked up the volume on his Ipod. Being so close to Jinx earlier had him listening to slower music at first, some lovey dubby stuff he downloaded. Deciding he had to get his mind right however, he switched it to his collection of "pump" up music. The same music he worked out too, Sether, Puddle of Mudd, Metallica, and other "hard Rock" music to put him in the mood... For a second he switched it off noticing Sin's boyish idolization of JB...[I]Well it looks like he is going to be a great addition[/I] Damo thought to himself, [I]Out of everyone he could've lined up behind, he picked one of the more "lighthearted" of the group[/I] Damo smiled at this thought as he placed his earphones back and lost himself in the beat of his music.

OOC: Sorry about my post, I was making it as The last post was made....If you're all okay with it I'd like to leave it. I'm just going to add to the end of it "Louis!" Damo jumped up as he heard the older agents voice. He ran to the conference room to meet the senior agent. Louis was a legend in his own rights, his powers over magic were amazing. Snagging Jinx's ipod she thought she had so well hidden. "First lesson Sin!" Damo yelled to the newest member of the "family" " If you mess with jinx, make sure you do it in a run, otherwise you'll need new shoes hehe" He proceeded at a full sprint closing the door behind him to slow her down. He liked the new agent, he was confident and seemed pretty wise for his age....there was however an uneasyness in his eyes. [I]Probably just jitters, i was uneasy until I got to know everyone[/I] Passing Louis and duke in the hallway he paused. "Louis, will you put this into your pocket and hold this for me, Just for a moment, I'll be right back." He raced into the briefing room and sat down before anyone else. [I]hehe, hopefully he'll think it's mine and won't give it to jinx when she runs by[/I] Damo sat with a smirk on his face, with Louis' addition to the group nothing could go wrong. He'd just hoped that Sin would be ready. [I]So young, I hope he's ready for this[/I] damo suprised himself, he wasn't used to thinking of anyone else as "young". It was sort've nice however though. During the Briefing.... [B]Crunch Crunch Crunch[/B] [I]God does he have to chew so loug[/I] Sometimes Damo despised Duke's "I don't give two shits attitude" He knew it was a cover up. Though he couldn't place it, Duke had a deep urge to be the "leader" of the group. Though maybe that wasn't the way to put it...maybe it was more of a need to be the best. Which wasn't bad, It was evident with Louis' arrival. Duke immediateally acted different around Louis...more "mature". That word struck Damo..."mature" "Grown up" Foreign words to him...but he knew he needed to start acting more his age....Though after glancing at Jinx and immediateally wanting to mess with her. [I]Okay maybe I'll start acting more mature when we start the mission....[/I]
