[I]After having Tritoch carry her down the cliff, Rinoa decided to NOT wait for Cid, and simply fly off to get one more Esper.[/I] [color=blue]Let?s see, I could go for an easy one?.Golem will do nicely! I?ll just have to earn some money..Alright Tritoch, off to Jidoor![/color] [I]Once Rinoa directed Tritoch the correct way, it took off in a burst of speed towards the town.[/I] ~Jidoor~ [I] After a few minutes of flying at mach speed (or so it seemed), they arrived at Jidoor, where Tritoch landed carefully, letting Rinoa slip off on it?s wing. Once off, Rinoa called Tritoch back into the crystal, then strayed off into town.[/I] [color=blue]Now?what kind of job can I get that will get me enough money to buy an Esper in one night?[/color] [I]After a while of boring walking through the town, Rinoa spotted a sign, ?Waitress Needed, high pay!?[/I] [color=blue]Wow..what luck![/color] [I]Rinoa cheered and rushed off into the?pub.[/I] [color=burlybrown]Hey there hot stuuufff?whatsa lady like yous doing hereeee?[/color] [color=blue]Shove your foot in your mouth and shut it. (Rinoa isn?t too great at insults)[/color] [I]Rinoa approached the counter, seeing an old burly man cleaning a glass.[/I] [color=blue]Excuse me sir, but I?m looking for a job?and I see you?ve got one open, yes?[/color] [color=silver]Yup, and you?re hired.[/color] [color=blue]..R..Really? No tests or anything? Just like that?[/color] [color=silver]Yup, now put on that apron over there and get to work, you deliver the food to the tables.[/color] [color=blue]Right?[/color] [I]Rinoa sighed, walked over to what appeared to be a coat hanger, and snatched the apron, slipping it on quickly.[/I] [color=silver]YO! Order up, table 9![/color] [color=blue]Ok..here I go.[/color] [I]Rinoa ran over to the counter, lifting a tray of strange looking food, then glancing around the pub for ?Table 9.? Spotting a table with a IX carved in it, and some scampi looking men sitting at it, she was reluctant to go.[/I] [color=brown]Hurry it up hotcakes![/color] [color=blue]What..WHAT DID YOU SAY!?[/color] [I]Rinoa took a deep breath, trying not to get mad, for fear she might lose her newly acquired job. She let out her breath slowly, put on a smile, and paced over to the table, dropping the food on the table with a ?thump?[/I] ~Two Hours Later~ [color=blue]Sir..[/color] [I]Rinoa walked over to the counter, and the old looking owner.[/i] [color=blue]Would it?be alright if I received my paycheck now?[/color] [I]The owner turned and looked at Rinoa for a moment, then smiled, showing his gritty yellow teeth. He reached into the register, and took out a large bundle of Gil. Rinoa noticed quite a few empty, uncleaned glasses of bear on the counter, and noticed the owner?s breath smelt of alcohol. He was obviously drunk, but it worked for her. She took the large wad in her hand, and held it tightly, just to make sure it wasn?t stolen.[/I] [color=blue]Thankyou Sir?I?m very grateful, and now I think I?ll be quiting. Thanks again![/color] [I]The owner?s face suddenly had a very blunt look, as Rinoa tossed her apron onto his head and ran off out the door. Finally, some Gil again! She raced off to the auction house, hoping to have enough to get yet another Esper?Golem![/I] ~Skipping ahead after Rinoa arrived at the auction and it progressed a bit~ [color=pink]Next up, a wonderous orb of amazing power! It is unknown what it truly is, but scholars say it?s priceless! What do I hear as starting?500!?[/color] [color=burlybrown]600![/color] [color=sandybrown]800![/color] [color=blue]I think I?ll wait a while to bid?let these two rise it up..[/color] ~After ?These Two? rose the price a bit (about 10 mins later)~ [color=burlybrown]2000![/color] [color=sandybrown]2500![/color] [color=blue]Time to jump in?3000![/color] [I]There was silence, and then the two other auctioneers stormed out of the building.[/I] [color=pink]3000, I hear 3000, any higher? Bid now! Any higher, anyone at all?[/color] [I]Silence once again?[/I] [color=pink]SOLD FOR 3000![/color] [color=blue]YES![/color] [I]Rinoa sprinted straight up to the Auction desk and claimed her prize in exchange for 3000 Gil. After receiving her new Magicite Crystal, she ran straight out of the building, out of the town of Jidoor, and stood in the field. Just then, her Magicite Crystal began to glow a golden color, and energy shot out of it towards the ground. Out of the ground emerged a large, machine-like Esper, Golem![/I] [center][img]http://www.angelfire.com/ex/desbreko/Golem.gif[/img][/center] [color=blue]There?s one more for me?and I think this is all I?m going to get..that?s enough running around.[/color] [I]Once she finished speaking, Golem waved kindly to her, and jumped right back into the Magicite Crystal from which it came. Rinoa simply smiled, and waited for Cid once more.[/I]

[I]After waiting almost half an hour, Rinoa decided Cid was obviously going to be late, and she might as well make use of the time she had in Narshe.[/I] [color=blue]I guess I could climb up the cliffs here and get Tritoch?if I can survive long enough to make it up.[/color] [I]Rinoa stood up slowly, shivering underneath the coat. She walked along through the snow for a bit, until spotting a trail that seemed to lead up the cliffs.[/I] [color=blue]Perfect, that will make is MUCH easier![/color] [I]Rinoa hastily trudged through the snow to the trail, which she reached rather easily. The trail was much clearer then the surrounding land, so it was quite easy to make it to the top. Eventually, near the cliff edge, she reached an end to the trail. It turned out she would have to climb the rest of the way.[/I] [color=blue]Darnit?this just makes it MUCH harder..[/color] [I]Rinoa grabbed onto an outreaching rock, and pulled herself up onto the side of the cliff. Balancing herself cautiously, she started to climb. She selected each foothold and grasp hold(?) carefully, making sure none were loose.[/I] [color=blue]Gah?umph?this isn?t?quite as hard as I thought it would be, but I wish this stupid cliff?would end soon.[/color] [I]As if she predicted the future, Rinoa reached the top soon after she commented. She pulled herself onto the cliff ledge, lying down right afterwards in the snow.[/I] [color=blue]Finally, that was getting tiring. Now?to find Tritoch.[/color] ~The Top of the Cliff~ [I]It was snowing fairly lightly on the top of the cliff, but just enough to block the vision a small ways. Rinoa wandered across the cliff, squinting her eyes to help her see any signs of?anything but snow and sky. After wandering for a while, Rinoa finally spotted a large block of ice, with what seemed to be a creature of some sort frozen within. It overlooked a large trench, and seemed to be quite alive, though completely frozen. Rinoa approached it slowly, squinting her eyes still, trying to make out what it was. Suddenly, small shards of ice flew out of it, straight at Rinoa. The snow on the ground was too thick to let her lift her feet and roll away, and the ice was coming in quickly. Before she could scream, before the ice hit, before anything else could possibly happen, a large shield surrounded her, coming out of the pocket. Zoneseek had saved her from within it?s Magicite Crystal. It had sensed the danger and put up a shield to protect her.[/I] [color=blue]Zoneseek?th..thank you! Espers really are handy![/color] [center][img]http://www.angelfire.com/ex/desbreko/Tritoch2.gif[/img][/center] [I]Quickly, Rinoa glanced at the frozen creature, which she could see now, turned out to be the frozen Esper, Tritoch![/I] [color=blue]Guess I?ve got to defeat you to get you eh? Well, I?ll do my best! I?m going to guess it?s weak against fire?considering it?s surrounded in ice?alrighty then, here I go![/color] [I]With her shield weakening, but still surrounding her, she rushed through the snow towards the large block of ice. Once she got in range, she pulled back the sling to her weapon, and shot it right at the Esper, lodging it in the ice, but still able to damage it.[/I] [color=blue]There goes my physical attacks?time to start the magic! I?ve still got a few Firagas left, hopefully enough to defeat this thing..[/color] [I]Rinoa stopped running, and began to cast her spell. FIRAGA! The blazing inferno flew out if her hands straight into the icy prison surrounding Tritoch, melting away a fair part of it. The Esper was crying, Rinoa could hear it, and she knew she had to free it. Ice shards flew out of the ice once again, aiming right for her. Rinoa?s shield was running low, so though it stopped most of the ice, some got through, slicing away at her arms. Blood seeped through the coat in the area of the deep cuts, and Rinoa felt like crying from the pain. She held back though, knowing still she HAD to stop this.[/I] [color=blue]Don?t worry?you?ll be free soon Tritoch! You just wait![/color] [I]Rinoa cast Triple upon herself, hoping to make things easier. She cast Firaga at Tritoch, which, with the Triples? help, hit it three times. The ice surrounding started to melt away, and Rinoa?s weapon fell free to the ground. Quickly, she raced towards Tritoch, finally rolling to the ground and grasping her weapon. Now underneath the Esper, she hooked on her Blaster Edge, pulled the sling back, and shot it straight into the remaining ice. The freezing armour cracked away, and Tritoch was free.[/i] [center][img]http://www.angelfire.com/ex/desbreko/Tritoch1.gif[/img][/center] [i]It spread it?s wings out into the air, and took off in flight. It glided around the cliff once, then landed in front of Rinoa, sending her a noble and thankful look.[/i] [color=blue]Tritoch?I..[/color] [I]Before she could finish, the giant Griffin-like Esper shined with blinding light, and formed into a small, multicolored Magicite Crystal.[/I]

[color=green]NOTE:When Cid drops me off in this post, it's inbetween the time he is dropping Des' off and picking him up, and when he picks me up and the end, it's after he drops Des' off once again.^^() Thought I would clarify that.[/color] [i]After leaving the house, and town of Jidoor, Rinoa was picked up by Cid outside, ready to be taken to her next distination.[/i] So, where would you like to go Miss Rinoa? [color=blue]Well..I was thinking maybe..the Yeti Cave in Narshe.[/color] The best I can do is drop you off at the Narshe mines, you'll have to find the cave yourself. Anyways, if you're sure that's where you want to go, then let's get on with it! [i]Suddenly, the ship took a jump off the ground, rose in the air, and sped off towards the northeast.[/i] ~Narshe~ [i]Cid had dropped Rinoa off at the snowy town of Narshe, near the hidden mines lying behind the town.[/i] [color=blue]I guess...this is where the Yeti cave is...better hurry.[/color] [i]Rinoa trudged through the deep snow, lucky enough to have borrowed an extra coat from Cid, though it didn't help as much as she would have liked. She reached an entrance to the mines, and wandered off inside, hoping to find the Yeti's Cave soon enough.[/i] ~The Mines and Yeti's Cave~ [i]Rinoa strayed through the damp mines, eyeing many interesting things as she went, but none a Magicite Crystal..[/i] [color=skyblue]Mmmm....Who there..?[/color] [color=blue]What..who..I mean, my name is Rinoa...who are you?[/color] [i]Rinoa glanced around the cave, watching out for whoever, or whatever this voice came from. A large figure suddenly stepped out from behind a wall of rocks, covered in white thick fur, and about 6'10.[/i] [center][img]http://con.opgaming.com/ff6/images/umarosprite.gif[/img][/center] [color=skyblue]I Umaro the Sasquatch...who you, and why you, pretty girl, in Umaro cave?[/color] [color=blue]My name is Rinoa..[/color] [i]Rinoa stepped forward, approaching Umaro cautiously.[/i] [color=blue]..and I'm here looking for a Magicite Crystal...do you know where it is?[/color] [i]Umaro turned around, crossing his giant muscular arms, almost like a pouting child.[/i] [color=skyblue]Umaro know where it is, but why should Umaro tell Rinoa?[/color] [color=blue]Because..[/color] [i]Rinoa reached up high, putting her hand on Umaro's shoulder[/i] [color=blue]..because I need to know, I need the Esper within the Crystal, I need it's assistance, and I would be forever thankful if you would guide me to it...please?[/color] [i]Umaro struggled a moment, thinking as hard as a Sasquatch possibly could. He wanted to help, but he also didn't want to lose his precious orb.[/i] [color=skyblue]Alright...since Rinoa so nice about it, Umaro help..[/color] [color=blue]Oh THANKYOU Umaro, you won't regret this, I promise![/color] [i]Umaro guided Rinoa through the catacombs of the mines, eventually leading her to a stone carving, sitting alone in a small room.[/i] [color=skyblue]Here, orb be over there, take..[/color] [color=blue]Thankyou Umaro..I've very grateful.[/color] [i]Umaro once again crossed his arms, to show that he was pouting, and Rinoa simply smiled gently, and walked over to the stone carving. She reached for the crystal, but a challenge arose before she could take it. Numerous small, but dangerous monsters lunged out of the wall at Rinoa, who was just barely pushed out of the way by her yeti friend. Umaro yelled, sending a large echo throughout the cave, and causing the monsters to jump back off of him. After his large scream though, the monsters started to surround him quickly, ready to attack again. But before they could lunge, a light glimmered from Rinoa's hand, and Odin flew out of an energy hole, striking each monster once, cutting them to pieces.[/i] [color=blue]Are you ok Umaro?[/color] [i]Rinoa ran over to him, as he slumped over, holding his arm.[/i] [color=skyblue]Monsters hurt Umaro, but did they hurt Rinoa?[/color] [color=blue]Only a few scratches, they would have hurt me much more if you hadn't saved me..thankyou once again, Umaro.[/color] [i]Umaro smiled for the first time, no longer pouting or angry.[/i] [color=blue]Here..let me heal us, it'll be easy.[/color] [i]Rinoa held up a different Magicite Crystal, a yellow one, Starlet, whom she summoned to cast "Group Hug," healing both Umaro and herself.[/i] [color=skyblue]Thankyou, Rinoa. You help Umaro.[/color] [color=blue]Because you helped me..[/color] [i]Rinoa sent a gentle look at Umaro, then walked once again over to the stone carving, which appeared to be a snake holding the crystal in it's mouth. Rinoa carefully removed the Magicite Crystal from it's place, and once removed, it started to glow a green/yellow color. Suddenly, there was a flash of green light, and then...a large snakelike Esper emerged from the crystal.[/i] [center][img]http://www.angelfire.com/ex/desbreko/Terrato.gif[/img][/center] [color=blue]Terrato..the Esper..of the Earth and Winds?[/color] [i]The snake-like creature nodded and blinked towards Rinoa, sent friendly hiss at her, then faded away back into the crystal. Rinoa grasped the Magicite in her hand, then slipped it in her pocket. After leading Rinoa out of the cave, Umaro gave her a large "Yeti" hug, then they said their goodbyes, and Rinoa waited out in the snow for Cid.[/i]

[color=green]Where the heck are BB and Zidargh?Oo() They best hurry up..[/color] [i]Rinoa walked along the streets of Jidoor, examining the list of Espers, pondering which to get next.[/i] [color=blue]Hmm, looks like there is another Esper in Jidoor, that I luckily don't have to pay for..Old Rich Man's house..where do I find that?[/color] [i]Rinoa looked around, hoping to find someone to ask for directions, when suddenly, she felt a hand..[/i] [color=blue]WHY I OUTTA![/color] [i]Rinoa swung around quickly, nailing the "theif" straight in the face with the back of her hand.[/i] [color=seagreen]GYAHHH! OW! You...that hurt![/color] [color=blue]It was meant to.[/color] [i]Rinoa turned to her visitor, leaning down to get a closer look at a young man in rags, whom had been smacked straight onto the ground.[/i] [color=blue]Who are you? Tell me now, or..or face my wrath once again![/color] [i]The man stood up, dusting himself off, and examining Rinoa carefully.[/i] [color=seagreen]Such a lovely young lady, what're you doing in a place like this?[/color] [i]Rinoa gazed around herself, just now noticing she was in a back alley; or the slums of the city.[/i] [color=blue]Well...I was looking for something, do you think you could direct me there? I'll forgive you for...umm..well...[/color] [color=seagreen]I'd be happy to help youout ma'am, if there's money in it of course, where ya wanna go?[/color] [i]Rinoa sighed, taking out her pouch of Gil once again this night.[/i] [color=blue]I'm looking for the "Old Rich Man's House," would you happen to know where-[/color] [i]The young man quickly interupted Rinoa, motioning out of the alley, towards a dark, but fancy street.[/i] [color=seagreen]Not sure why you wanna go there, but it's directly that way, you'll know what it is when ya see it. Now, I'll just be taking all your-[/color] [i]Rinoa interupted the theif this time, pouring the contents of her Gil on the ground for him, then quickly walking away.[/i] ~The House~ [color=blue]This must be it..guess I better knock.[/color] [i]Rinoa approached the mansion, reaching for the knocker which said "Owzer" She knocked; no answer. Again she knocked; still no answer, so she decided to just go on in, hoping the owner wouldn't mind, or better yet, wouldn't know.[/i] [color=blue]Wow...fancy. Guess I'd better loo for this monster..Chadarnook...[/color] [i]Rinoa wandered off down a lonely corridor, which seemed to happening quite often lately. She reached a large room, which appeared to be a library. Rinoa approached a bookcase, removing a large book from it's place.[/i] [color=blue]Hmm..monsters of the world?[/color] [i]Rinoa opened the book, skimming through it carefully. Reaching a page that caught her attention, she stopped to read.[/i] [color=blue]Chadarnook...that's the monster I'm looking for..two forms. One of so beautiful, and one...so menacing..[/color] [i]As she read about this monster, a dark shadow seemed to overtake the room, surrounding her slowly. She turned around caustiously after noticing this change, dropping the book once she saw what lay behind her. [center][img]http://www.angelfire.com/ex/desbreko/Chadarnook2.gif[/img][/center] A large monsterous woman hovered in the room, a solemn look on her face as she watched Rinoa studder.[/i] [color=blue]Chadarnook..the monster I must defeat..[/color] [center][img]http://www.angelfire.com/ex/desbreko/Chadarnook1.gif[/img][/center] [i]Suddenly and without warning, the beautiful woman lunged at Rinoa, transforming into a grim, menacing(as the book decribed) monster. Rinoa rolled sideways, the monster crashing into the bookcase behind her.[/i] [color=blue]Umph...I'm gonna have a tough time with you if ya keep that up.[/color] [i]Rinoa readied her weapon, prepared to launch it at the monster once it attacked. Chadarnook pulled itself together, scattering away books crumpled around it. Suddenly, it flew straight towards Rinoa once again, its' claws extended. Rinoa knew she could not dodge this, and her weapon would never be able to stop it, therefore, she must use magic..[/i] [color=blue]FIRAGA![/color] [i]The monster screamed in terror as it's cloak and what little skin it had caught on fire.[/i] [color=blue]Yes..it's weak against fire, that helps a lot![/color] [i]Rinoa smirked at the burning monster, then raced across the room to a larger area, where she could actually fight. The monster swung around, still with flames upon its' robes, scowling crudely at Rinoa. Before she could attack it again, it let out a deafening cry, and flew straight at Rinoa once again. Rinoa tried to roll out of the way, but her stomach had been caught by Chadarnooks claws, tearing a small, but painful hole in her abdomen.[/i] [color=blue]U..ugh..you stupid monster..I'll get you back for that..[/color] [i]Rinoa's eyes glazed over as she fell to the ground, and she wondered if she was going to make it out alive. This monster was much stronger than her, and there was only one way she could possibly defeat it.. ANGEL WINGS! Rinoa floated up into the air, her eyes still glazed over, and wings seeming to emerge from her back. The monster shreaked at the light given off by Rinoa's power, but this was nothing compared to what was to happen next. First off, Rinoa cast cure upon herself, which didn't do much, but partially closed her wound. After this, Firaga was cast two times in a row, but much more powerful than before. Chadarnook again shreiked in pain, it's robe burning clear off, showing only a skeletal figure with hanging skin. Before the phantom could strike her, Rinoa once again cast Firaga, burning the monsters bones to the ground into nothing but ash..leaving behind only a small yellow orb... Rinoa then floated to the ground, her wings dissapearing.[/i] [color=blue]I told you..I'd get you back...stupid monster...[/color] [i]Rinoa stood up slowly, and inched over to her prize. When she reached the Magicite Crystal, it started to glow, sensing her pain. Emerging from the sphere was none other than Starlet, an Esper of Healing.[/i] [center][img]http://www.angelfire.com/ex/desbreko/Starlet.gif[/img][/center] [color=yellow]I am Starlet..let me heal your wounds, and remember to call upon me whenever you need my assistance..[/color] [i]A feint light shined from Starlet's palms, surrounding Rinoa, healing her with a Cure 3.[/i] [color=blue]Thankyou...my new Esper.[/color] [i]Rinoa stood up straight, smiled, and stuck her newly earned prize in her pocket, ready to venture on.[/i]

[color=green]Awww...he looks so incredibly cute! Especially the naturally oversized head of an unborn baby...it's just so...chibi.^^() I wish you the best of luck with your child, and I do hope he is blessed with a wonderous and exciting life.

[color=green]What are you doing with the image tag? You have to insert the url to your image inbetween, if you aren't doing that.^^() Here's an example. [*img]http://www.yourhost.com/yourname/yourimage.jpg or gif[/img*] Just take out the little stars-* and it should work fine.^^ EDIT:I've been beaten.Oo Oh well.^^()[/color]

[color=green]*Decides to go ahead and post again, since she has nothing better to do.*Oo Oh and Ginny, I found you a pic of Seraphim right [URL=http://www.zellfantasy.it/strate6/esper/sraphim.gif]here.[/URL][/color] [i]Rinoa had ventured back through the chilling tunnel to Figaro Castle, meeting up with King Edgar and Cid in the main hall once she returned.[/i] [color=darkblue]Were you successful in your quest, dear Rinoa?[/color] [color=blue]I sure did, see?[/color] [i]Rinoa reached into her pocket upon her duster-like coat, revealing a small black Magicite orb, glowing with a purple hue.[/i] Amazing, really it is, but we've got to hurry this challenge up. You need to go anywhere while I'm free on time? [color=blue]Oh sorry, yes, I'd like to get going right away![/color] [i]Rinoa slipped the orb back into her pocket, and rushed off with Cid to the airship, waving once again to King Edgar. After reaching the airship, Rinoa directed Cid to where she wanted to go, and they took off, on their way to Jidoor. ~Jidoor~ After landing at Jidoor, running inside the town, and wandering to the auction house, Rinoa slipped out her bag of Gil, ready to buy.[/i] [color=blue]Hmm..I'll only be able to afford one, IF I'm lucky, better hope nobody else knows what it is..[/color] [i]Rinoa walked up to the large doors of the Auction House, pushing them open, revealing bright lights, numerous people, and plenty of rare items on display.[/i] [color=blue]Wow..this is..amazing..[/color] [color=pink]Next Bid, a mystical and beautiful stone, it's whereabouts unknown, it's powers untold![/color] [color=blue]Wha..oh my! I'd better sit down![/color] [i]Rinoa grabbed a number stick, and ran to catch a seat near the front.[/i] [color=pink]What do I hear for this dazzling item? 100, 200, 300 gil?[/color] [color=sandybrown]400![/color] [color=burlybrown]500![/color] [color=sandybrown]Fine, 600![/color] [color=blue]Hmm...guess I better jump in, it looks like a Magicite Stone..alright then..700![/color] [i]The prices rose and rose, and the auctioneers were growing tired and short on Gil.[/i] [color=sandybrown]2500! I won't go any higher![/color] [color=burlybrown]3000, and that's final![/color] [color=blue]Hmm, I've got 5000, so if anyone goes higher than that..I'm out of luck, 4000![/color] [color=sandybrown]That's it, I'm out..[/color] [color=burlybrown].....[/color] [color=pink]4000, 4000, do I hear any higher? Anyone, anyone at all!? Fine then, SOLD FOR 4000 GIL![/color] [color=blue]Yes![/color] [i]Rinoa ran up to the counter, where a nicely suited man handed her the stone in a box, in exchange for 4000 of Rinoa's Gil. Rinoa happily retreated with her newly earned Esper, which once she was outside, emerged from the colorful orb.[/i] [color=blue]Wow..a..another Esper..[/color] [img]http://www.zellfantasy.it/strate6/esper/zoneseek.gif[/img] [i]Zoneseek, the giant, protective Esper flew above her, shining its energy's light upon the town of Jidoor. Before Rinoa could say anything else, Zoneseek nodded towards Rinoa, and flew right back down into the Magicite Crystal.[/i] [color=blue]Two for me...how much more to go?[/color]

[color=green]Wow Ginny, that post, very touching.^^ I love the way you expressed the Phoenix's cries. Ah and Ginny, I shall copy your use of piccies!^^[/color] Anyone else need to go anywhere? Cecil, Zell, Zidane, Rinoa? [color=blue]I believe I will be staying here at the caslte for now Cid, so I won't need the airship yet.[/color] Alrighty then, if you're sure. [i]Cid turned to the other survivors, and Rinoa motioned for Edgar to follow her. She walked off down a corridor, and into a random room she had picked. It turned out to be a study, where she and Edgar sat down.[/i] [color=darkblue]Dear Rinoa, do you need to speak to me of something?[/color] [i]King Edgar smiled gently, waiting for a response.[/i] [color=blue]Actually..I was wondering...if you knew where the secret passage leading to Ancient castle is?[/color] [color=darkblue]Is that all you needed? Why I believe I do, and it's quite simple to get to. Come, follow me.[/color] [i]Edgar led Rinoa throughout the castle, eventually leading her to a secret entrance, which opened almost "magically" when the King appraoched.[/i] [color=darkblue]Will you be needing any assistance from here?[/color] [color=blue]No, but thankyou. I've got to do this by myself, but I'll be seeing you after the challenge.[/color] [i]Edgar quickly took Rinoa's hand once again, kissing it before she left. Blushing, Rinoa turned around, straped on her Blaster Edge, and waved goodbye to the King of Figaro, wandering off into the dark tunnel..[/i] ~In the Tunnel~ [i]Rinoa traveled on through the dark, and chilling tunnel, slinging her weapon at the small but still threatening monsters the came by once in a while. Each step seemed to make her colder, for the deeper she went, the icier the dark road became.[/i] [color=blue]I..better get to this Esper soon...or I'm..gonna freeze to de..what is that..[/color] [i]A bright light shimmered forth, and an exit to the tunnel appeared right in front of Rinoa. Revealed through it was a giant, dark, and old castle, of which she stepped caustiously into.[/i] [color=blue]This must be..the Ancient Castle..brr..[/color] [i]Rinoa shivered, as it seemed only a tiny bit warmer inside the castle. She walked over towards a large staircase before her, that seemed to lead up to an even bigger room than downstairs. Rinoa approached the stairs, then began to climb them tediously. As she reached the top, she noticed a large pedistal, that was sculpted as two arms, with the hands holding up a small dark orb.[/i] [color=blue]It must be...the Esper..[/color] [i]Rinoa reached the top of the stairs, and walked slowly over to the stone appendages. When she had come to the orb, she reached out to grab it, hoping to take it quickly and retreat. Before she could touch the orb though, a faint light shot her back, and suddenly, a stream of dark, misty energy emerged from the sphere, and Rinoa could now hear a horse in the room.[/i] [color=blue]What...who's there?[/color] [i]Rinoa looked up, and to her amazement, a dark figure riding a six legged horse hovered only a few meters above her.[/i] [img]http://www.zellfantasy.it/strate6/esper/odin.gif[/img] [color=purple]I am Odin, God of Lightning. I can strike down your foes, if only you might call upon me.[/color] [i]Suddenly, after a large gaspy sigh from Rinoa, Odin faded back into the Magicite orb, which floated over to Rinoa, landing in her hands.[/i] [color=blue]Whoa..looks like...I've gotten myself an Esper...[/color]

[color=green]I believe he's talking about the Guru Quizzes on The Otaku. There are quizzes there such as "What Inu-Yasha Villian are You?" or "Who's your Anime boyfriend?" and such.Oo I'm really not sure what my favorite would be, and I'm also not sure whether this thread is relevant, but that's not my decision to make.^^()[/color]

[color=green]Tis the Antlion, yes yes?^^() Question: Name each of Kimahri's limit break attacks![/color]

[color=green]I do believe that it is in the castle hallway, after you receive your Uncle's sword in the waterway. In the next hall, where there are two guards(or is it just one?Oo) I'm pretty sure it's two. Anyways, you go to the right and there it is on this...thing...with stairs..yeah. Well either way, you receive a rupee of fiveness. Question: Similar to Keese, _____ are a slightly different species of bat which hide in cave ceilings and swoop down on their prey? Name this monster, and a hint...it's from AoL.^^[/color]

[i]Rinoa and Edgar chatted along, as Team Redwings entered the newly emerged castle.[/i] [color=blue]Such a gentleman, I wish there were more men like you in the...well, the many worlds.[/color] [color=darkblue]Haha, I'm glad you think so highly of me, such a kindly and absolutely beautiful woman you are.[/color] [i]Rinoa giggled at his remark, and Edgar smiled with delight, and signaled a thumbs up to the team behind him. Edgar slipped his arm around Rinoa's shoulders, and offered her a tour of his castle.[/i] [color=darkblue]So what do you say, would you like to see my wonderous castle?[/color] [color=blue]Hmm, I think that would be enjoyable, so sure, I'd love to![/color] [i]Edgar led Rinoa off towards a staircase as the team watched, but just then, Cid jumped in.[/i] Alright Team Redwings, you can either tour the castle, like I said before, or explore the land! Your choice, I'll be waiting here in the castle when you're done. [i]Cid walked off, towards anothea hall of the castle, dissapearing in the corridors.[/i] [color=orange]I think..I'll just...tour the castle...I'll find that stupid King, show him he can't take my target![/color] [i]Auron laughed under his breath at Zidane, and Cecil simply shook his head and smiled.[/i] [color=teal]Such jealously Zidane, maybe you should just give up on Rinoa.[/color] [color=crimson]Indeed, there's no possible way that YOU could compete with King Edgar...[/color] [color=orange]What!? Why I...gahh..you just wait and see![/color] [i]Zidane stomped off after Edgar and Rinoa, while the Crimson Knight and Team Gentleman stayed behind, feeling as though they should follow and taunt him even more, but resisting such urges.[/i] [color=teal]It seems we are the only ones left, what do you suggest we do?[/color]

[color=green]If you're stuck on anything..maybe you should read the walkthrough Des' posted earlier in this thread.^^()[/color]

[color=green]Go to [url]http://www.theotaku.com[/url] and simply click on the .hack//sign section under series. There is plenty under that section, and should be enough to explain the story line.^^[/color]

[color=green]Makar!^^ Question: In OoT Master Quest, in the Spirit temple, there are four chests in the entrance room. How do you get each of them?^~ EDIT:Gahh...you mean he wasn't sure on his answer to Des' question?--[/color]

[color=green]Hmm...let's see.. Favorite Food: Ohh...it would have to be Alfredo Cheese Pizza from CiCi's(southern U.S.A thing>>) It's absolutely the BEST! So juicy...so cheesy..so yummie...Oo Least Favorite Food: Seafood, ick, just...ick. I can't stand seafood, don't know why, it's just...well...icky.Oo[/color]

[color=green]GC for me.>> Though the controller may be a disadvantage to others, I enjoy it.^^ I also enjoy the game selection much more than GBA. Though they both have their pros an cons, such as portability for GBA, and amazing graphics for GC, so it made it rather hard to choose. I'm still just going with GC though, I adore the gameplay, and I'd just rather stick with it.^^() My latest posts have been so scritchy scratchy...hmm...[/color]

[color=green]Never noticed the similarity before...but now that I actually think about it, yes, they are quite a bit alike. I could say the same for Kaola Su(Love Hina) and Ed(Cowboy Bebop).^^() They are both incredibly insane, absolutely adorable, and some other descriptive words that both begin with the same letter.>> Character similarities are common in anime, whether they look alike or act alike.^^()[/color]
