[size=1]A howling wind whipped around Nyx as she walked the empty streets of Prague in the Czech Republic. The night was the perfect time for her routine stroll. She nuzzled into her scarf, which was tightly wound around her neck. [i]What a bitter bite this wind has?[/i] The sky was crowded with dark clouds. Nyx almost wished it would snow. But the wind would shatter the delicate snowflakes before they even touch the ground. This thought made Nyx feel somewhat sad. She would have like to have seen the ?city of a hundred spires? covered in a light dusting of the white icing. This city had been her home for the past few months. It was a known hotspot for her chosen profession. There were many other Hunters, like her, staying in this most beautiful of cities. The gothic structures that surrounded them seemed to embrace the dark, sinister creatures that dwelled in them, posing as the gargoyle statues in the day. A tall, muscular man bumped into her shoulder as they passed each other. He turned and apologised to her. Nyx said nothing back, but noticed the small bulge on his hip ? a fellow Hunter. Obviously he was searching for the wyverns that were said to terrorise the night time streets. [b]? You shouldn?t be out here on a night like this,?[/b] he said, concern clear in his voice. [b]? As should you. Your skills aren?t strong enough for these creatures just yet,?[/b] Nyx replied. The man looked at her confused, as if he didn?t know what she was talking about. Nyx could sense the whirl of thoughts going around in his mind. She smiled to herself, her smirk hidden behind her scarf. This man was thinking about the rumours of the Hunter nicknamed [i]Ghost[/i]. [i]Ghost[/i] was a Hunter that was well-known around these parts. No one could tell you if the person was a woman or a man, but most have seen him or her in action. They all tell of her amazing acrobatic displays, as well as her finesse in wielding a chain-like weapon and an oriental-looking sword. Of course, Nyx was this infamous Hunter [i]Ghost[/i], hence the reason for her smile. She enjoyed the anonymity of the title, as well as her appearance. Most people in real life, when she wasn?t hunting, couldn?t tell if she was a man or a woman. Her hair was short, her chest was fairly flat and her voice could be taken either way. [b]? How did you know that??[/b] the man asked, a tone of anger creeping into his voice. Nyx?s almost-black eyes stared him down as a piercing screech echoed above them. The slow, rhythmic beat of leather wings greeted Nyx?s ears as she turned around, seeing the large leathery beast dive towards them, its sharp taloned feet stretched out towards them. Diving to the side, she knocked over the man as the wyvern swooped down on them, its talons barely missing her back. Nyx looked up wildly, watching the creature wheel around, ready for another attempt. There were frightened screams from children and women inside the buildings near them as the wyvern approached. Nyx stood quickly, facing the wyvern. Her eyes glinted with adrenaline. She felt her [i]mankiri[/i] slide down the sleeve of her shirt. As the wyvern came closer and closer, the adrenaline in her body heightened to a point where she felt she was capable of anything. The wyvern gave another screech and narrowed its focus to Nyx. The talons of the creature were two feet away when Nyx stepped to the side and hooked her [i]mankiri[/i] around them, lifting her up off the ground as it soared into the air. It screeched and struggled, trying to get its feet free. Nyx managed to climb up onto the wyvern, clinging to its spiny back. It thrashed side to side, trying desperately to get Nyx off its back. It barrel-rolled in the air but that didn?t deter the female Hunter. Up ahead, she could see that it was heading for St. Vitus Cathedral ? the biggest and most important church, historically and architecturally, to the country of the Czech Republic. A slight sting of panic ran through her mind as she tried to steer the wyvern away from it, using the [i]mankiri[/i] to urge it in another direction. Instead, the wyvern flew higher. Nyx noticed the wind had died and snow started to fall. She looked around at the rooftops of the city, trying to decide where to slay the wyvern without causing too much damage or disturbance. But before she could do anything, the long neck of the wyvern snapped around at Nyx, grazing her arms with its jagged teeth. Purely by instinct, Nyx reached behind her back and unsheathed her blade. She brought it down with a swift strike, decapitating the wyvern, killing it instantly. Blood sprayed forth, splattering across her face as she and the body of the reptile freefell down towards the cathedral?s spire. Nyx moved over to the wing and clung to it for dear life as the body was impaled by the main spire. The impact was incredible. It flung Nyx across the clay roof tiles of the building. She rolled and then fell down to the ground with a heavy thud. A small scream of pain escaped her lips as her shoulder bashed against the hard ground, dislocating it. For a few moments, Nyx lay still as if life had escaped her. Blood oozed down her arm where the wyvern had clipped it, and stained the pure white snow beneath her. Her eyes were semi-open as she watched a stray cat approach her with caution. The snow fell, slow and steady, dusting her short, charcoal-grey hair with specks of white. The feline licked her hand tentatively and miaowed at her. The young woman moved slowly to a sitting position. Winces of pain left her lips frequently, normally followed by a string of curses in a number of languages. The cat leapt into her lap and snuggled into her. Nyx looked down at it with a warm smile and a soft stroke. [b]? Loneliness is colder than any winter.?[/b][/size] OOC: I?ll do another post for going to the briefing. ^^

[center][IMG]http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bishie_owner/project-2.jpg[/IMG] [size=4]Project: True Destiny[[ RESURRECTION//]][/size][/center] [INDENT][size=1][b]What is this?![/b] [i]Rusti looked around wildly, her wine red eyes widening in amazement. Her long black hair swished over her shoulders as she tried to figure out where she was. She was floating in mid air. There was blue sky above her as she looked up, and far below her, a landscape of red and gold sands ? a familiar-looking desert.[/i] [b]Hang a sec. Isn?t that??I?m near the base.[/b] [i]In the distance, to the west, Rusti could see the dark speck of what was the Syon Military Base. This was the place where she and many other new recruits to the army were stationed to complete their basic training. But why on earth was she floating in mid-air and how did she get out of the base? Last thing she remembered was getting into the training mech. Was this a dream? Suddenly, a shrill bird?s cry pierced the sky, making it shatter like glass. The broken pieces all fell down around Rusti, tinkling onto the invisible floor. It sounded like sharp raindrops hitting a pane of glass. The sound died out and complete darkness now enveloped her. She looked around, hoping someone was around. It felt so lonely in this void ? a loneliness she had experienced once before.[/i] [b]Hello? Anyone there?[/b] [i]What was she calling out for? No one was going to answer her. That loneliness shuddered through her body again. Rusti shook herself mentally. That was in the past. It was a long time ago. If she had any chance to get into ANGEL Wire, the elite section of the military, she would have to push those memories out of her mind and focus on her training. Another abrupt shrill pierced the darkness. Rusti heard the gentle swoops of gigantic wings approaching her. She turned around quickly, her hair swirling around with her body, to see a massive red and gold feathered eagle. It landed in front of her, kicking up a strong wind that almost knocked the young woman over. It leaned over and looked at Rusti in the eye as she lowered her arms down from protecting her face. Rusti froze, not knowing what to do. This was a phoenix ? a legendary bird of flame. Its orange eyes scanned over her. There was a feeling like it could see right through her, into her very soul.[/i] [b]Who are you?[/b] [i]Rusti couldn?t believe what she was seeing. She stretched forward a hand, feeling the softness of the feathers tickle her hand. It was so real. The bird gave a soft shrill, as if it liked her touch. It looked down at her kindly with its orange eyes. Rusti nuzzled into its soft down feathers, feeling a warmth she hadn?t felt for the longest time. It reminded her of her mother?s warmth. It comforted her. Then, suddenly, she felt the warmth get hotter ? almost unbearably hot.[/i] [b]Ow? it?s too hot?[/b] [i]Rusti leant backwards and saw the phoenix burst into flame, also engulfing her in the licks of searing heat. She stumbled backwards, trying to put herself out. It was starting to sear her body, burning her skin into blackness. She looked in horror at the bird which screeched an ungodly cry. Rusti felt like her head would burst.[/i] [b]It burns! IT BURNS![/size][/b][/INDENT] [size=1][b]? CADET TITIAN!?[/b] Rusti?s eyes flew open as she sat up abruptly, startling all of the medical staff that were fussing around her. Her commanding officer, Wing Commander Keiller, was bent over, inspecting her body that was sprawled across the floor. [b]? Cadet Titian, are you feeling all right??[/b] he asked, concerned written plainly across his face. Rusti looked up at her commanding officer. [b]? What happened??[/b] [b]? You passed out in the training capsule. The medical staff said it looked like you were having a mild fit. They couldn?t rouse you from the state you were in with their skills so we had to wait if you come to. But, if you?re feeling all right, then I would like to finalise your module.?[/b] Rusti stood slowly, aided by two of the medical staff. She wobbled a bit, but everything seemed like it worked normally. [b]? Everything seems to be back to normal. Let?s continue,?[/b] Rusti said confidently. She clambered back up into the training module and sat in the cockpit seat. Taking out a small slither of disk, Rusti put it into a slot beside the main controls. The computer screen came up with instructions for her to enter her details via audio input. [b]? Name, Rusti Ophelia. Rank, Cadet. Identification number, #002594. Age, 21. Speciality, flight. Initiate module SOUL.?[/b] OOC: Her appearance is attached at the end of this post.[/size] [center]======================================[/center] [size=1][b][u]Liberty Weekend[/u][/b] The World Government designated this weekend in remembrance of the people whose lives were lost in the Valentine's Day attack as well as the brave pilots of the MechAnimas that fought off the oncoming invasion force of aliens. The then President of the World Government was known to have said: [INDENT]" And to those pilots, who were mere children when they first took up arms, we all thank you for sacrificing your childhood, your life and your sanity to protect the rest of us from experiencing what you, as people, went through."[/INDENT] As irony would have it, the military organised for the ceremony for Liberty Weekend and the graduation of the year's cadets to be held simultaneously. This was where our story starts.[/size] [center]======================================[/center] [font=Trebuchet MS]This is the third installment in the 'Project: True Destiny' series. Some of you may have not heard of the previous two RPGs since they were held about a year ago, but the first was successful and finished, while the second was somewhat successful. Knuckle's Girl and I decided to make a third installment. If you have ever seen the anime series Zoids, then you will have some idea of what I am about to talk about. In the this RPG world, most wars are fought with giant robotic animals, or MechAnimas. However, there are a select few that have the power of the old version of the MechAnimas. I'm not going to tell you what the secret to this power is because it's a surprise. The characters of this RPG will be graduates of the military, having completed their basic training on Liberty Weekend. Knuckle's Girl and I have decided that, like my introduction above, we want people to write about the dreams in which a guardian beast appears before them. Here is a list of guardian beasts you can choose from: [u]Air Beasts:[/u] [list][*]Dragon [*]Phoenix [b](taken by Redemption)[/b] [*]Gryphon [*]Falcon [*]Eagle [*]Bat[/list] [u]Ground Beasts:[/u] [list][*]Cobra [*]Fox [b](reserved for Knuckle's Girl)[/b] [*]Tiger [*]Wolf [*]Panther [*]Scorpion [*]Cheetah[/list] Your sign-up is going to be the dream where you first meet your guardian beast (see the introduction above). Be creative about it and think of different ways you could incorporate these things: [list][*]Your chacter's full name [*]Your character's age [*]What they look like [*]What guardian beast you have chosen [*]Something of the past (could be memories, feelings, anything) [*]Your character's speciality (ground or air unit) [*]And lasty, your character's identification number and rank (we're all cadets at the present)[/list] NOTE: THIS IS NOT A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE RPG. There are enough places for people to go for the ones they want without much competition, so don't be put off by this. We just want it to be fair to everyone. I think that's about it for now. Enjoy. ^^ PS. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM Knuckle's Girl or myself.[/font]

[size=1][b]What year did you graduate from High School?[/b] I graduated in 04. Wow. Two years ago. I feel kinda old now. [b]What "clique" did you belong to?[/b] I'm not sure what clique I was in because I floated around a lot through a few groups of friends. There was the 'artists/musicians' group, and then the 'cool' group which, ironically, were the smartest people in our grade, and then the geneal misfit group. [b]Do you still remember your friends, do you still keep in touch?[/b] Some people from my highschool go to my university, although I don't see them very often. I keep in touch with a few, but because I go to univeristy an hour away, not work like most of my friends, I don't see them much. [b]What state/province/country did you graduate from?[/b] Queensland, Australia. [b]Do you remember your high school enemy?[/b] I tried not to make enemies in high school, but there were a few people that got on my nerves, and apparently a few people that didn't like me. There was one girl in particular that had it out for me. She spread rumours that I broke her wrist at soccer training, which I clearly didn't because I was all the way up the other end of the field when it happened. She was one of those rough/tumble girls that beat up a lot of people.[/size]

[size=1]My bedroom... Well, the walls are a sky blue colour with white heavily sponged onto it. I have three normal walls and one brick wall that is the backing for the fireplace on the other side. On the brick wall is a lot of anime posters, as well as my [b]Aeon Flux[/b] and [b]Kill Bill 2[/b] movie posters. I have my bed, which is covered with cushions, pillows and plushies, and a desk that was originally my family's dining table until my mum bought a new one. I also have a bookshelf stacked full of books, as well as my [b]Peacemaker Kurogane[/b] clock and photos of family and friends, as well as other little knick knacks. One of my other walls has a HUGE window in it, so I can see everything outside. Usually I have my bed next to it in summer so I can watch the lightning storms out near the coast. Then I have this little alcove thing that I keep all my jewellery, hair and body stuff in with a big mirror on it. I have built-in wardrobes and shelves too. And on my door is a [b]Kenshin[/b] banner.[/size]

[size=1]Hey Knuckles Girl. How long has it been since we RPed last? Project True Destiny I think it was. Wow. That's a long time ago. By the way, I'm really rusty at RPing. [b][u]Sign Up:[/u][/b] [b]Name:[/b] Nyx Fauve [b]Age:[/b]23 [b]Aperrance:[/b] See first attachment [b]Personality:[/b] Nyx is cool, calm and collected. Most situations that occur don't seem to surprise her, which unnerves a lot of people. She is only this way because she is confident in her skills as a person and as a slayer of wyverns. In her opinion, she sees no rational reason to panic. In normal social circumstances, Nyx does like to hang around with people. To most people, she seems quiet. But in reality, she just reserves her opinion and only lets people know when she think she needs to. Nyx goes at her own pace and doesn't let her job take too much of her santity away. [b]Bio:[/b] [Forgive me... my brain won't function well enough for me to write a bio] [b]Expertise:[/b] Wyverns - dragon-type creatures that are extremely vicious and wild. See the second attachment for appearance. [b]Weapon(s):[/b] [i]Mankiri - [/i] A mankiri is a basic chain weapon that are very effective in sword combat, and can be used for many other purposes. Nyx's custom made silver mankiri is 8 feet long with one end weighted so it is easier for her to maneuver it. She uses it specifically to tie down a wyvern, so it can't fly away from her. [i]Shinobigatana - [/i] A short sword that are normally used by ninjas. Nyx uses this to slice off the wyvern's head, as well as a combative weapon. Its sheath sits on her back for easy access. [b]Training(battle training):[/b] Nyx has been trained in a special form of aerial combat so she could slay wyverns effectively and quickly. It is a unqiue form of fighting, which no one seems to have seen before. [b]Extra abilities:[/b] Nyx has extraordinary gymnastic and acrobatic ability. She uses this to her full advantage in battle, even if it over-strains her body into exhaustion in a short time.[/size]

[QUOTE=BlueEyedAngel]Redemption: I do not consider whites superior and other races subordinate in the sense that you might think. In general, Asians have more intellectual ability; blacks more athletic ability, and whites are about in the middle. I do not desire to see whites rule over blacks or visa versa. I wish to see whites rule over whites; blacks over blacks, Asians over Asians. We all have the right to our soveriegnty and independence.[/QUOTE] [size=1]At least you acknowledge that you know whites are not superior to other races. That's a start. But the comment with 'whites rules over white' etc. The world isn't divided into races. It's divided into countries and nations. Enough said. And we do have the right to soverignty and indepedence. That's why you vote. :)[/size]

[size=1]Since my sisters have an English essay to do on both the new movie and the TV series, I have now been well versed in both versions. They both have good and bad aspects to both of them. The movie has been 'sexed' up for the cinemas. I do like the new version because I can relate to it,a nd because it has been 'sexed' up. But I can also appreciate the TV series, although my sisters really don't like it. It has a more realistic, non-Hollywood approach to the story. Not much, but there's my two-cents.[/size]

[size=1][u]First Name[/u] [b]BROOKE[/b] Gender: Feminine & Masculine Usage: English Variant of BROOK [b]BROOK[/b] Gender: Masculine & Feminine Usage: English From an English surname which denoted one who lived near a brook. [u]Middle Name[/u] [b]RENÉE[/b] Gender: Feminine Usage: French Feminine form of RENÉ Heh. There you go. Brooke Renee. I hate my name with avengence.[/size]

[quote name='BlueEyedAngel']I'm a huge fan of Japanese anime, and also a hardcore white nationalist. Yes, it is indeed possible to be both.[/quote] [size=1]Welcome to the forum [b]BlueEyedAngel[/b]. I hope you find your experience with OB pleasant, although your introduction might spark a little furious (not angry) debate here. Glad to see you are honest, however.[/size] [quote name='BlueEyedAngel']1. I opposed the FORCED integration of people of other races AGAINST their will.[/quote] [size=1]As [b]Red[/b] said before, how are people being forced to integrate with each other against their will? Where? When? I live in Australia and am a proud Australian at that. We are a very multicultural society and integrating with other races is a daily activity for me. I go to university where there are many many Asians around. I haven't experienced, in any way during my life, that I have been forced to integrate with people from other races.[/size] [quote name='BlueEyedAngel']2. I prefer the company of people of my own race. This does not mean that I have no friends of other races, it merely means that I am more comfortable amongst my own kinsmen.[/quote] [size=1]I can understand where you are coming from. I have many white friends that are not comfortable talking to, say, my Asian friends. However, I don't see why you feel this way, since they are exactly the same as us. Human. Just because they look different, and have different beliefs and/or values, doesn't mean they are dramatically different from you.[/size] [quote name='BlueEyedAngel']3. I do not believe that inter-racial relationships are bad or wrong, however, they're not for me. I like white girls with blue eyes and blond hair, that's my preference.[/quote] [size=1]I'm sorry to say but that sounds very superficial and elitest to me. I have blue eyes, don't get me wrong, but blonde hair and blue eyes?[/size] [quote name='BlueEyedAngel']4. Let's face the truth, our country was established by whites. For those of you who disagree, would you care to explain who it was established by?[/quote] [size=1]If you live in America, wasn't your country also founded by convicts?[/size] [quote name='BlueEyedAngel']7. It is the racist who will exploit people of other races for his own benefit; it is the nationalist who will sacrifice his own self for the rest of his people.[/quote] [size=1]The brilliance of Wikipedia: [i]Racism is an ideological superstructure, and has been defined as the predication of decisions and policies on considerations of race for the purpose of subordinating a racial group and maintaining control over that group. Racism can more narrowly refer to a system of oppression, such as institutional racism, that is [u]based on the concept of social discrimination by race[/u].[/i][/size]

[size=1]Seems like everyone likes RPG. I think we're all fans of a good story. Anyway, I would be in that category too. [b]RPGs[/b] is probably my favourite genre of game because of the storyline elements. You can get deeply attached to the characters if you can relate to them in small or large ways, and you want to see them triumph at the end. I also really like the gameplay systems they employ in many good RPGs. Like [b]Bombu[/b], strategy RPGs are what you could classify my games collection (with the odd exception). I enjoy using the battle systems in a strategic way. A good example of this is [b]Final Fantasy Tactics[/b] for GBA. I think I've finished that game four or five times now, and I can never completely finish it because of the various jobs and skills you can learn, as well as the strategies you can use in the battles. The [b].hack[/b] and other [b]Final Fantasy[/b] series are like that too, although I've only played [b]FF X[/b] and [b]FF X-2[/b].[/size]

[size=1]Heh. :animeswea I do too [b]Shiros_Hime123[/b]. I can't remember how many I've had with my bishies in them. But they are always the best dreams to have, yes? Another one I remembered was [b]Peacemaker Kurogane[/b]. Again I played out my fanfic character. I like that one because I actually fought samurai style with other people and I could feel the adrenaline pumping. Dreams are excellent for living fantasy, feeling things you don't normally feel and experiencing things you don't normally experience.[/size] [indent][size=1][color=#007520]Do you really need to use the quote feature if you're just repeating the most recent post in whole? You can choose a specific portion to quote if you want to show what you're replying to specifically, otherwise, we understand you're replying to the most recent post. -r2[/color][/size][/indent]

[quote name='Gavin][SIZE=1']My other guilty anime pleasures are the first two series of Zoids, Guardian Force and New Century Zero, I'm counting Chaotic Century as part of GF as really it is one series.[/SIZE][/quote] [size=1]I would fit into that category too Gavin. I think I taped most of the series when it was on TV here in Australia years ago. I still have the tapes too. :animeswea I think my guilty pleasures would be [b]Sailor Moon[/b]. The whole over-the-top girlyness of the American version now makes me think 'why oh why did I watch it'. Sometimes the predicaments they get themselves into makes me wonder about my sanity. I do like the anime because of the girl power, but Serena irritates me the most [spoiler]with the romantic situation with Darren/Tuxedo Mask[/spoiler]. Another would be [b]Beyblades[/b]. I go all fan-girly over [b]Kai[/b] from it, and that's probably the only reason why I ever watched it, other than the great designs of the Bit-Beasts. [b]Yu-gi-oh![/b] too. Fangirly over [b]Yami[/b] and the great designs for the monsters. Plus I love Egyptian mythology. Mythology in general actually. There's my confession.[/size]

[size=1]My dreams are usually in anime. That's probably because I watch anime often before I go to bed. I had an excellent [b]Naruto[/b] one the other night. It was amazing. In real life, my friend and I are doing an RP between ourselves about Naruto and basically my dream played it out, and further on. I woke up with a huge grin on my face because, for once, my dream actually stopped in a good place, not in the middle of an exciting part like normal. I did have another anime dream last night. This time is was [b]One Piece[/b] - the Japanese version. It was fantastic. I was my fanfic character Kura. I played out the story exactly how I wanted to write it. Pity I can't remember most of it now. ;_;[/size]

[size=1]It's not my favourite gaming moment, but it is a friend of mine's. When I go over to his place, I play [b]Need for Speed: Most Wanted[/b]. You should watch me when I try to drive with a million coppers after me. I must do things really strangely or amusingly because he and his brother are in hysterics by the time I get my way out of the pursuit (normally by getting caught by the police). I've been told I'm quite a spectacle. >>[/size]

[size=1][b][u]UPDATE![/b][/u] Ok everyone. Sorry about the lengthy delay. I have some new announcements. If you have read my post in the RP thread, then you would have found out that there is no posting order anymore. I decided that the RPG was moving too slowly (if its not already dead) so I've taken away the posting order. Another thing is that I have set up the thread for the races in the Square. Please read the rules and see the list before we get up to actually posting in that thread. Other than that I have three words for you guys. [i]FREE FOR ALL![/i] [b]- Dare[/b][/size]

[center][IMG]http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bishie_owner/F_F_Monaco2.jpg[/IMG] =================================================[/center] [size=1]Welcome to the racing thread for the Fast and Furious RPG. This thread is specifically for the races that occur in the RPG. By races I mean that only the drivers (players) in the race are allowed to post in this thread and the posts are only allowed to be about the race. When I feel the race is decided, I will post who the winner is, etc. Each driver is allowed 2-3 posts in each race. They can be as long as you like, or as short as you like, but remember that your creativity is what decides who is the winner. If you don't understand, post your questions in the Underground thread. I will put up a list of drivers for each race in this thread and in the underground. Pay close attention to both. Thanks[/size] [center]================================================= [u][size=4]Race 1[/u][/size][/center] [size=1][b]Drivers:[/b] Crash [Kitty] Harry [Illusion] Mike [The Boss] Jackie [Athena] Michael [Gavin] Sakura [Sakura] If anyone else wants to join, PM me please. The course for the race will be up before I post for the start of the race, which will become an edit of this post, so please keep checking up on this thread.[/size] [center]=================================================[/center]

[color=Teal][size=1]Rei chuckled to herself as she watched Carter, AKA Crash, sit down with his date and got her a drink. It was rather amusing the way he asked her if there were assassins coming along to the race. She thought that Crash would have been used to this by now. Didn't he realise that Sakura was an assassin? Rei chuckled to herself again. The answer would be probably not. Digging into her satchel, Rei took out her PDA and accessed the word-processing program on it. She entered Crash's name and what car he would be driving into a page specifically designed for her job as organiser of the races. A soft buzzing rattled her handbag as her mobile was vibrating again. Rei sighed and took it out of the bag, flipping it open to see who was messaging her. [INDENT][i]I?m finally here, how have you been? I?ll be there 2morrow, driving the Diablo. Heard from Crash? Cheers, Harry[/i][/INDENT] Rei smiled and looked up at Crash. He would be furious to know that Harry was joining the race, with the Diablo too. She wanted to see his face when she told him Harry was back and racing against him. It would be priceless. But Rei decided to leave that to the actual race night, making a mental note to bring a camera. She looked down at the keypad of her mobile and started typing her reply. [INDENT][b]Nice to hear from you Harry. Good to know that you're racing. Crash is too with the S7. At his bar atm. - Rei[/b][/INDENT] After pressing the 'send' button, Rei set about organising a course for this race. She brought out her PDA and a large map of the small country of Monaco. It seemed hard to decide how difficult she should make the course. It was the first race in a long time, so there had to be some fireworks to get everyone pumped for the race. The annoying sound of her mobile vibrating on the bar's hard surface echoed loudly in the bar. Rei cursed and picked it up quickly. [b]" Sorry everyone..."[/b] she said to the occupants of the bar, who were all now staring at her. Again she flipped it open to see she had received a number of messages. The first was from Brian. She didn't know him very well, but Sakura said he was someone that had potential in the racing scene. Rei wrote down Brian's name and entered his Skyline into the page of drivers. Next was from Mike. Another person she didn't know very well, but he had street cred from the underground fighting arena. It was enough to get him on her contact list. And it also seemed that he was also messaging on behalf of a friend of his, Jackie. It looked like they both wanted in. But they didn't send what car they would be racing in. Rei wasn't a mind-reader. She had no idea wat kind of vehicles they owned, even though she had their rap sheets on hand. Letting out a somewhat frustrated sigh, Rei messaged Mike back. [INDENT][b]Mike, What cars are you and Jack driving? Need to know ASAP - Rei[/b][/INDENT] Yet another message from a driver wanting to compete. At this rate, Rei would have to run two races. This was getting far too complex. But then, it had been a while since the last one and people must have been getting antsy from not being able to feel that incredible rush of adrenaline. This one was from Michael. He was the one who had the job at that bank. Rei smiled. She wondered if he was a prime candidate for the Interpol investigation. Unfortunately he, too, forgot to mention was car he was racing with, so Rei messaged him the same message she had sent Mike and Jack. By the time Rei had read this last message, the bell tinkled to signal someone coming into the bar. The curly-brown hair girl looked up to see one of her good girl-friends, Katrina. She smiled. [b]" Look who the cat dragged in,"[/b] Rei taunted as Katrina sat down on a stool beside her. [b]" Oh you're so nice Rei,"[/b] Katrina said with a stinging tone. [b]" How's it been? Get the message?"[/b] [b]" Why else do you think I'm here?"[/b] [b]" Point taken."[/b] Katrina looked over the map of Monaco and then at Rei's PDA. [b]" Wow... everyone wants in..."[/b] [b]" You're telling me. I'll have to run two races at this stage. That's going to be difficult with the cops on high alert after the first."[/b] [b]" What are you going to do about it?[/b] Rei's reply was interrupted by her phone again. But this time, it rang. [b]" Sorry Kat..."[/b] Rei flipped open the phone and put it to her ear. [b]" Hey Sakura, what d'you need?" " Where are you? I'll meet you and we'll talk,"[/b] Sakura replied through the phone [b]" Formula-1, I'm at the bar. Katrina's here."[/b] [b]" Ah, good. See you in a few."[/b] She flipped her phone shut and smiled. Katrina looked at Rei, questioning her about who it was. [b]" Sakura. Wanted to know where we were,"[/b] Rei replied simply. [b]" She'll be here in a few."[/b] [b]" Will you be partying tonight?[/b] Katrina asked, now looking at the map. [b]" Yeah... even though I have assignment on Interpol to finish. How ironic."[/b] [b]" Especially with this investigation going on. What's the deal with it anyway?"[/b] [b]" I don't know but I think this race on tomorrow night will really weed the men from the boys."[/b] The tinkling of the door announced Sakura's arrival. She walked over to the two young women and sat on the other side of Rei, ordering a drink for herself. [b]" Katrina, Rei."[/b] Rei and Katrina greeted her back and contined their conversation about this Interpol investigation. Sakura chimed in once and a while, adding her thoughts and views on certain points. The sky outside was starting to turn orange as the sun set in the east. Soon this bar would be alive with moving bodies and thumping tunes. [b]"So, gonna race tomorrow?"[/b] Rei asked, turning to Sakura. [b]"You bet. I'm taking the Koenigsegg CCX to the streets. I haven't driven it much since I arrived in Monaco."[/b] Sakura flashed them a smile and took a sip of her drink. [b]"Good good, this should be interesting."[/b] The three young women stood, Rei stretching as people started to filter into the bar. Soon it would be full of people - drunk people at that. She didn't mind the whole drunkness-thing until some people took it overboard and found themselves covered in vomit in an alleyway somewhere, having no idea how they got there. [b]" I'm going to head back to my apartment to get ready to come back here. Want to have a bite to eat at my place?"[/b] Rei asked her two friends.[/size][/color] [center]+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++[/center] Ok [u]ANNOUNCEMENT[/u] From now on there will be no posting order. Yes, that's right, no posting order. It seems that the RPG is far too slow with it so I'm taking it off. And sorry about the delay in the reply. Internet has fried at home. Check the Underground about the new racing thread and the rules to racing, as well as info on the course for the race and just general information that you'll need to know.

[size=1]Loooooks good guys. I asked this because I wondered what I should go into in the gaming area. I think I'm going to become a script-writer/scenario writer/character and environment concepter - that's if my degree overseer is nice to me. XD Anyway, another question. We've all known for a long time that virtual reality is going to be a huge thing when it comes into gaming. I'm meaning the whole shabang - headset, mind-reading thing - the works. How do you think the introduction of true virtual reality affect gaming? Do you think it will be a good thing or a bad thing? Will it affect people's health? Will it only affect certain types of gaming (eg. RPG, fighter type) ? Explain why.[/size]

[size=1]I've never seen a DDR tournament before, but I like playing the game. Gives me a fun way of exercise. It's better when other people play it with you though. And times, however, my sister picks the really fast paced songs when she's at beginner and I'm on light (not very good mind you).[/size]
