OOC: Lonewolf, you double posted. Please edit your second post into your first. I watched the tram come out of the GoldSaucer thankfully. It was about time. First Vukodlak jumped the mission and then I got stuck out of the tram. [size=4][color=red][font=century]BANG[/font][/color][/size] I looked up to see the tram smoking from one of the engines. There was someone inside. All the people that had been waiting for the tram scattered into North Corel. The cable snapped and the tram started to fall. Darken jumped out just before it hit the ground. I ran out of the way. It hit the ground with a metalic crunch. Shrapnel flew everywhere. Red hot pain flared into my leg. I stumbled and fell. The world went dark. The pain in my leg no longer seemed so intense. 'Oh man.... I hit my head too.' I thought just before I went under.

Not long after I had the confrontation at the pub I went to the herb shop. I sold the two herbs that the man had given me as pay. It turned out to be nearly as much as he promised me without even selling the liquor. I walked out of the shop with the gold jangling in my pocket. I looked around and saw the coach of the King stopping in front of a house. Someone bowed, in mock-respect, and hurried back into the house. My curiosity was perked. I felt some kind of magic from the individual. I walked toward the house, averting my eyes from the King. I felt his piercing gaze travel over me breifly, and snap forward again. I was pushed aside by one of the gaurds and had to restrain the urge to light him on fire. Inside the house small candles were coming alight. It felt odd... Like... My mind opened completely. [b]Ryan-[/b] "The Aniar Stones..." I walked up to the house and knocked on the door three times fast.

OOC- Very sorry guys, I've been working for two days straight, and no time to get on the computer. Looked to Iondarc. [b]Ryan-[/b] "Go, help her. I'll search for the others." Iondarc nodded and bent over Samantha. I stood up and looked around. I saw Indrid standing over Angel and ran over. "What's wrong with her?" Indrid said nothing, a semi-worried look on his face. I bent over Angel, taking a little sand in my hands. I sprinkled it over her chanting a healing spell. Her body lit up with light momentarily and then stopped. Angels eyes fluttered open, she smiled weakly and slipped into sleep. I gave Indrid a squeeze on the shoulder and ran across the sand, looking for the others. Seeing no one after about ten minutes of scouting I stopped. I traced a small symbol in the sand and it erupted in flame. The fire consumed my robe and I flew into the air. The view was amazing. Green, fertile land on one side of me, and blue sparkling ocean on the other. Too bad it was no time for sightseing. I twisted around looking for signs of movement. I saw the small section of beach I had come from. Four people stood there. No other movement was visible on the beaches. I floated back downward toward Iondarc and the others.

Oh yeah. Metallica rules. People make fun of my group for liking them as well but I just point out that if Metallica never existed then... well then I just say that their rap bands suck.....

:: Offers PiroMunkie a small cup of Peptobismol :: Here... It'll help. ..Ow my stomach...

Zoidberg- "Mom, Pop don't make me choose!!" haha... I love that show. My favorite episode is when they go to visit Amys parents on Mars and they have that adventure with the Bugalow. hehe... ..Ow my side..

I can say nothing about corporate america due to the fact I would probably be banned. However, the double-time sentence for big company execs is totaly bogus. Why should they be punished more for things smaller companies do all the time? I'm not trying to defend them, if that is what has creeped into your head, I'm just saying that it's unfair to make one rule more intence for one type of person than another. It's like saying just because this upper-class person commited murder his sentence is 100 years, but this middle-class person commited a murder in the same way and only gets 60 years. In my mind it's unfair.

I caught something about Big Boss and the three snakes. Are you possibly talking about the Metal Gear series? If so you shuld probably make this a little more clear. I don't really understand what you are asking at all. Maybe this should be moved to the Sony forum...

Did anyone else that saw it catch the part !!SPOILER!! where they did a mimic of the movie AirPlane? Anyway I thought it was a cool movie. I am currently working on a banner of Cobra Bubbles. Lol... heh...

I'm probably going to be made fun of for saying this but.... Everyone should go see Lilo & Stitch. I was dragged along with my friend and her boyfriend to the movie. It was absolutly hilarious. It was great and funny and... ::Notices people straing at him:: ::Clears throat:: Anyway just go and see it...

[b]Ryan-[/b] "Look... All I want is what you promised me... I took care of the graverobbers and now I want my payment. That's all! All I want is what you owe me." I turned around to look at the five people that had hired me. A band of graverobbers had been defiling local cemeteries. They would crack open the coverstones and steal the good the deceased were buried in. [b]Pub Owner-[/b] "We didn't expect you to get done so...," The pub owner ran a hand through his oily hair and skittered to another part of the room. "So quickly. We need time to get your pay. We haven't had enough customers to get the whole of your payment." I stared at him, tightly gripping my knife. I looked away and pushed my weapon into it's sheath. I looked back at them with semi-softer eyes. [b]Ryan-[/b] "I'm usually not one to act rashly. How much do you have? We might be able to strike a bargain." The pub owner stepped behind the counter and brought out a small, leather bag of coins. He pushed it down to me and I looked inside. I brought my face out of the bag after a moment of dissapointment. "It's less than half... We agreed that I be paid 200 Gold. This is only 80." I sighed. The pub owner looked nervously at the other four men. They were large, burly men. He brought them with if this meeting got out of hand. [b]Pub Owner-[/b] "I have no more. I swear! All I have is herbs and liquor!" My eyes perked up. [b]Ryan-[/b] "What sort of herbs and liquor?" The men tensed slightly. [b]Pub Owner-[/b] "I have five pounds of Devil Grass and one pound of Dragon Scale Powder. Thats all the herb I have." I nodded and crossed my arms. [b]Ryan-[/b] "Your up to 140 Gold. The liquor?" The man looked pleadingly at my stone stare and then walked behind the counter again. [b]Pub Owner-[/b] "I have three small bottle of Blood Wine, one medium bottle of Ashline, two medium bottles of Wheat Grain Whisky, and a large bottle of Ruby Water..." he put the bottles on the counter. I walked over and uncorked the Blood Wine bottles. The first was spoiled. The others were fine. The bottle of Ashline was a very good batch. The Whisky was too strong for my taste, and the Ruby Water was also satsfactory. I gave him back the one bottle of Blood Wine and the Whisky. I nodded and brought out a small box. "Wh...what's that?" The owner stammered. [b]Ryan-[/b] "It's a storage box. I can store as much as I want in this small box." I put in the two small bottles first. I closed te lid and opened it again. The bottles were gone. I put the rest of the bottles and the herbs in, in their own order, covered the box and put it in my pack. "Consider my services payed for." I turned to leave and was gripped firmly on my shoulder. When I turned around I was face to face with the four large men. I sighed. One of the men threw a punch at my face. I froze his entire arm. It dropped off his body and shattered on the ground. The man stumbled over and passed out from shock. Two more men made a dive for me. I blew them away with a wind spell. The crashed into the back wall and fell in a crumpled heap. The last man pulled a small knife on me. I lifted my hand and the knife was crushed into a small metal ball. I lit the mans pants on fire and pushed him out of the door. "It's been good doing business with your sir." I did a small bow and walked out of the door.

Is this going to start soon Arikel?

Ryan- "Hey. Hey! Get back here!" I jumped off of the tram just as it launched off of the platform. "Vukodlak! Hey!" I looked around but could see no one but the attendant. I turned around scanning the area. I still saw no one. I slapped my hands in frustration and sat down to wait for the tram.

Also in the Gelnika each enemy you fight can be turned into a Source. Be it Gaurd, Magic, Speed, Strength, Luck, or... I forgot the other one. It's a very cool fact that I just found out. I just thought that since you might be talking about the Gelnika that I would post a little bit of interesting info,

Thanks Rico, but I would like peoples consent before I put their poems into a book. If I get it published it will be for legal reasons.

Honestly I'm not sure if I have posted this in the right forum. If I have not please move it to the correct forum for me. For a while I have been toying with the idea of making an OtakuBoards Book Of Poems. I would collect poems from this site and put them in a book. I would give everyone complete credit for their work and would mail/e-mail everyone a copy once it's made. If anyone is interested please post the poem/s you would like to be put into the book on this thread.

I really like the poem. It's very dark and interesting. It seems that whenever I try to write things like that they end up rhyming even if I'm not trying to rhyme them...

I can't wait untill Xenosaga comes out. The game that spawned it was so incredibly awesome that I simply can't wait to purchase this one. I am expecting great things from this game.

This game is so incredibly awesome that I would buy it for 60 pounds and ship it to my house in the US if I had that much money. It's in the genre RPG. It took me almost 74 hours to get to the end. It is one of the earlier RPG's to come out on the Playstation and is quite graphically graced for it's time. It has an entangling story with a wonderful battle system and a myriad of charaters. I would give this RPG a 9/10. EDIT- I just checked on a currency convertion website and found that 60 Pounds is equal to about 91.29 US Dollars. That's quite a hefty price. You would do better to buy it here in the US where it only costs 30 to 50 US Dollars (19 to 32 Pounds).

I wish I would have got to this topic when it first came out. All of the things I wanted to say have already been said. However, I would like to reinterate a question that was asked earlier in this thread. Now, leaving a baby or small child in a car is absolutely one of the worst things a parent can do. What should someone do when they see a pet in a hot, un-ventilated vehical? Pets have no more resistance to heat, if even less, than children. I know that to some of you a pet dying will not seem to even be on the same tier as a child dying. However, there will be some that feel the same way about a pet as a child. How, if someone does spot an enclosed pet, should they handle it?

Nice job man. ::Shifty look:: You wouldn't want to... Slip me a copy would you? Lol. j/k.

I just bought their CD an wanted to know how you guys/girls feel about them. I, myself, really like them. Their songs are perfect to work to.

Looks stunned. [b]Ryan-[/b] "That really wasn't nessesary. It was sent to me by Master Unets. It was not evil." Walked away from Iondarc, leaving him and the smoldering pile of ashes alone.
