Roukyou sht quietly as he contemplated the concerns brought up. Eyes flicking yo the Lord Second he could feel the man studying their dynamic. He half smiled. He would do the same if he found himself in such a situation. 
Roukyou splayed his fingers on the small table and looked back you Yuji. "I would agree with you. We can not risk something happening to you for being the tie for the Lord Second. Your idea to lay low for the time being is sound. Though I would suggest while there not just strategizing,  but using your summons and other resources to seek out someone to perform the rebirth as you suggested. Sadly I am not well enough connected to suggest many options. 
Provided you think you can trust your contact at the place you intend to hide. I see no reason for you to risk yourself needlessly. I believe Lord Sixth would concur on that even if he doesn't agree with our method." 
Cracking his neck Roukyou sighed and flicked the ash from the cigarette he still held studying the glowing tip. "I suppose I should stay where the possible action is. I may not be as good as I once was, but I can still be of use, and could possibly provide counsel to others. What good is a Dog of War if not in a place to be utilized. No offense intended to you Yuji as your current situation leads to prudence in laying low. I do not doubt your use of you were to stay."
Roukyou shifted mildly uncomfortable knowing full well the feelings Yuji had on usefulness.

Roukyou pulled out another cigarette and lit it taking this one slow. Reaching over he filled Lord Seconds cup and Yuji's cup with Sake before hovering it over his own for a moment then setting the bottle down leaving his own empty as he had already drank more than was prudent. 

"I have been in many wars and not to be arrogant or presume lack of ability in Lord Second, but yes more than even Lord Second. The tactics used always depend on the battle at hand. What may seem prudent to one may seem lax or imprudent to another. You bring a good point and one worth considering. The cubs of the village would be well worth teaching and recruiting to the cause for their own sake and sake of the future, but without sound foundations of old brick and stone I fear it would crumble. We need some of those before us and some of those in our generation besides ourselves to become that foundation. Without it we are two pebbles trying to support a new tower. We will last only so long before everything we built tumbles down. I believe possibly a two pronged attack would be best. We recruit the foundations and with their aid we send some to the younger generation to for lack of a better term preach the need and shaping of the progress that is made. We will not win the young demanding we return to the old ways. We instead must send the old to strengthen what is new and help mold it on experience. The other prong will be to gain influence with those of power through show of numbers. Bring in people like Lord Sixth and others. Lord Sixth os a man of the time of war. He may have resigned and gave this world to the youngergenerations, but surely even he sees that there is still need for what those now in charge are blind to." Deciding to pour himself another cup of tea Roukyou sighs and sips it. "Besides. Given Lord Sixth is at our door physically speaking I don't see we have much choice. We will either convince him or become fugitives for what was done here. We have little choice and less time. Though I don't believe Lord Sixth found his way here by chance. Fate has a way of working itself out to fulfill its design. Same as I dont feel I was here by chance."

Roukyou sipped his tea as he gathered his thoughts feeling more at ease now that the pain had subsided. He was grateful for the courtesy of the Lord Second and found he felt comfortable with the man despite the situation of his arrival. 
Roukyou set the cup down but didn't let go of it instead rolling it between his fingers as he began haltingly.
"Lord Second. I can speak of my own opinion and I am sure it coincides with Yuji-san's, but it is my observations and opinions. I defer to his plan and I believe we are on the same page, but it is yet to be seen if we agree on all points. We have in the past clashed mildly in the realms of right and wrong when it came to the village. Time and repetitive nature of history has tempered my earlier rashness.
I believe you are correct. It is a matter of manpower and influence. Those in charge now hold high honor and influence and rightly so. They are... heroes ... of the villages and of the war, but they are on a plane of there own. They in my opinion have lost sight of the reality of the world. Blinded by the taste of victory and success. They are young, though much is young in my perspective. They see only the now and have a glittering mirage on the future that tells them it will remain this time of peace forever now that they have accomplished their great deeds. Those in the village take their que from their leaders and celebrate and revel in this time of peace and prosperity. I will not deny that that is what this is. It is what it is and is well deserved after the trials this world has been put through.
Those of us that have been around long enough or are products of war and battle aren't quite  as blinded to the truth. Call us the sharingan of the village of you will. We see through the illusion that is built. We keep our fingers on the pulse of the village and know that just because all is well now that it wont stay this way. I believe we can get others to see this, but we need others of influence to help us in this. I am not originally of this village as is concerned to those now living and Yuji while known doesn't hold as much sway as would be needed. In my opinion Lord Second. The reason I allowed Yuji to commit to this path is because like him. I believe you are a realist. You know the harshness and reality of life. It is never fixed. I believe that of we get a few to accept you as back for the moment and side with us we will be able to advise and dispel the illusion the leaders are under. 
I am not saying inhibit progress. They have made many modernifications, but I think we should include militant and defensive modernifications as well. 
I am old and slow to changes, but I can see progress needs made or we grow stagnant and die. I just want the proper progress made instead of progress for progresses sake."
Looking up from his cup Rokyou looked into the Lord Second's eyes unflinching.
"If truth be told I believe a good start to the recruitment would be Lord Sixth Kakashi. He has always been a voice of reason and a mentor to Lord Seventh. What powers be seen to have delivered him to our very door step. I say we not spit on such a gift."
A half smile played on Roukyou's lips as he sat back a bit.
"As to my abilities. Well, I will admit I may have overdone it a bit tonight. I pulled out all stops, but if I tone it back i am quite capable of facing anything thrown against me. I am sorry you saw me at a weakened state Lord Second. I have had nothing to keep myself in line for. Now I do and my discipline which lapsed is resolved. You will not see such weakness again unless the nature of a situation calls for me to push myself beyond for the needs of the village or those that need protected."

Roukyou had sat listening to the Lord Second and Yuji, his head throbbed and his body burned from the residual efforts of his abilities, but he didn't let this keep him from taking in every word. He clenched his hand around the sake cup nearly hard enough to break it and his jaw clenched a muscle twitching in his cheek as he endured. He allowed his eyes to go out of focus simply letting the words wash over him. That was all he needed. He had perhaps overdone it popping that many chakra supplements. 

When the Second addressed him again his eyes snapped back into focus and trained on the man. He gave a half smile as he bowed his head low. Of course Lord Second had sensed his discomfort and malady. What else had he expected. 

Rokyou pulled a rather thickly rolled cigarette from his front pocket and using the same Jutsu Yuji had used for the candles lit the tip and took a long pull ashing nearly half the length before holding it in for a long moment. Slot his body relaxed and the fire and pain began to drain away.  With a soft sigh he let some of the smoke curl from the corners of his mouth before letting the rest out in rings away from the present company.
"You are generous Lord Second. I have been told these aren't the most pleasant of scented and despite my keen nose I have become rather blind to the scent. 
I am glad you will honour us with your assistance. I may be and old fox, but I can appreciate your wisdom all the same. Give me a few moments to recover from my self abuse and I will be ready to do as you need."
Roukyou finished the cigarette and took a cup and poured some tea sipping it as he awaited.
---
Kakashi winced and gave a soft shake of his head trying to clear the last of the genjutsu that had been flashing things through his mind. If this had been Yuji's work he would have to have a talk with the man about his more than suitable adeptnes. The darkness he still couldn't shake. He stood rooted unwilling to move and possibly trigger anything else. As he considered how to end his ensnarement he jumped as the darkness coelesed into a form he recognized. His eye widened and his mouth opened in surprise beneath his mask as the image of the Second Hokage appeared before him. Was this another part of the genjutsu? It had to be the Lord Second had been put back to rest. Surely... he froze and ground his teeth before echoing slow and loud. "Yuji" he spoke aloud to no one in particular. 
He studied the image and started when the image spoke. The message made him blink. No I'll to the village? Edo Tensei Jutsu had been used from the appearance of it. A taboo of monstrous and even treasonous proportions. Rubbing the back of his head Kakashi pondered. If Lord Second was truly here. It would be in his own best interest to wait ind find out what was going on before drawing any conclusions. An explanation was at least needed. He knew Yuji. He didn't know him as well as others, but he knew that in the long run Yuji had only ever shown loyalty and respect to the village and gone out of his way to uphold it and defend it. Surely he could let at least an explination be given. Sighing he let his head slump into his chest. "All I wanted to do was read my book. How do I manage to get myself into these things. The paperwork alone is going to keep me from my books for another week. "

Rokyou felt the eyes of the Second linger on him as he addressed Yuji. Roukyou folded his hands on the table as he listened to Yuji outline his reasons and explanations. He did so plainly. A thing Roukyou thought the wisest course of action. Upon his completion both friends sat awaiting the judgment of Lord Second. Roukyou took the cup served him and sipped.
***
Kakashi stood stretching. The long stent fielding paperwork was not his thing and he still had mountains of it despite no longer being the one in charge. Stealing a glance at the stacks on the desk he sighed before wandering casually to a window. 
Looking out he took a deep breath of the fresh air and smiled beneath his mask. A few moments break couldn't hurt. He hadn't gotten to read one of his books in a long while and Jiraiya had left him a box full upon his death and he had been itching to dig into it. 
Looking both ways the coast seemed momentarily clear of any aids or assistants. He leapt out the window and across the rooftops.
Settling upon the top of the ear of his own likeness on the Hokage Monument he reclined and opened his book with a lusty sigh and an almost giddy expression. 
He had only been reading a few moments when something tugged at his attention. Looking down he stared at the city unsure what was bothering him. A feeling. Something not quite right. Watching for a moment he saw nothing. With a shrug he returned to his book.
A few minutes later he sat up straight. He had felt it. A pulse. A deep designating thrum of chakra. His head whipped around and he stared avidly at a section of town now nearly abandoned. 
Standing he stowed his book away and stared. This section of the village was little used. If anyone were to try anything it would be the perfect place to work without drawing attention if he hadn't been relaxed and open to the city around him he wouldn't notice either. 
Scanning the section of city he went through a mental map recalling the buildings that had once stood there. His brow raised as he thought. The old library. Did we remove everything of value from it?
Dashing down his own head he leapt making his way quickly to the city.
***
It was near dark between the remains of the buildings. Power had never been restored to this area and Kakashi pulled a kunai holding it lightly. He crept to the edge of the abandoned library. Nothing seemed amiss. Stepping closer he stopped and visibly sagged in relief. There was chakra at work here, but he recognized it in an instant. It was that Yuji guy. The one obsessed with practice and that had been trained shortly by the Lord Third. Putting his hands in his pockets he stepped forward and froze. A swirl of leaves and suddenly he found himself in total darkness. 
The last thing he thought before the thoughts and images began was.
"What the hell is Yuji doing here?"

Roukyou stiffened at being addressed and lifted his eyes to the Lord Second. He wiped his nose with the back of his hand and gritted his teeth fighting to control the energies locking the extra power from the Kekkei genkai away behind the barriers. It strained, but with a shudder and a panted breath he held it firm. With a flash not usual to a clone's disappearance the four clones reinforcing the walls suddenly ruptured from their middles. Spinning balls of Chakra growing for a moment inside them the sound of them bursting making Roukyou wince. The excess chakra had to be purged or he would have died. 
Roukyou pulled himself together in time to hear the Lord Second ask for his tale first. Casting a side long look at Yuji Roukyou stepped forward and took the cushion offered him. 
"Yes, Lord Second. I am Roukyou Eko-itami. Not a clan most would know. To be honest I don't know if any of my clan exist aside me. The clans true name is lost with the ages and I chose the new name to commemorate their passing across the ages. 
I was there at the celebration when the Gold and Silver Brotherhood attacked and I fought in the First war on the side of the leaf. I attended your memorial and gave council to the Lord Third before taking my leave of the village. 
I have lived to see you and your brother's vision for the creation of the hidden villages. I have served nearly all of them."
He reached abscently brushing fingers along the metal plates sewn to the shoulders of his coat. 
"I have fought in all the wars on various sides and I will not try and deceive my Lord in saying it was always on the side of the Leaf, but in this last war I fought on the side of your people for the good of your people For a people I have come to care for and think if as my own. You know I am from before the villages, but I have come to regard this place as my home."
Looking the second in the eyes Roukyou clenched a fist fighting back his pain, but kept speaking.
"As Yuji-san has stated. We are both those who have devoted our lives to the protection of this village. Your village. We now have peace, but with it has come a complacency we both fear. Call us old dogs of war, but we know peace is the temporary state. There must always be balance and despite what this new generation of leaders think. Balance is not always pretty or gentle. We seek your counsel.  This old Kitsune begs your wisdom and guidance. Yuji-san had the courage to do what he felt needed doing for the sake of the village. This old kitsune was to complacent and it took him to open my eyes to the need Lord Second. I am old and as a cub I abused by power and now I pay the price for it. I fear I may not be strong enough to protect this village I call home from what may come. I try my best, but counseling is something those that seek wisdom must be humble enough to admit they need. I beg you Lord Second. Please guide us."
Bowing his head Roukyou feel silent his body trembling as the pain mounted. He longed for his cigarettes, but didn't dare in the presence of the Lord Second. 

Roukyou sagged back as the Zetsu was pulled into the mirror. The mirror suddenly exploded. Shards of glass sliced through the air. Raising an arm he felt the glass strike his oiled canvas coat. As it sure sided he peeked out. Yuji stood slightly worse for ware, but safe. Roukyou sighed in relief. The seal had worked. He had been concerned it wouldn't fool the Shinigami. 
Yuji stood stiffly in the middle of the room staring. Roumyou followed his gaze and eyes widened a small curse under his breath as his eyes found the form standing cross armed there. The Second stood there in all his glory. 
Roukyou went to one knee and bowed his head. Out of the corner of the eye he watched as Yuji slid the kuni with the control scroll to the Seconds feet. Roukyou felt the heavy gaze pressing down on them both. Holding his breath he gave a shudder. He wished he could get another cigarette, the pain was starting to get unbearable. Perhaps he had overdone it a bit. Blood dripped slowly from his nose. He waited for the Lord Second to speak. This was Yuji's rodeo.

Roukyou watched as the jutsu seemed to progress smoothly at first. He allowed himself a moment to think this might go off without a hitch, but his luck wasn't strong enough. The Zetsu began to jerk and resist. Roukyou lerched onto a knee, but as he did Yuji seemed to regain control. 
Roukyou knelt tense his already aching body screaming at the tension.  He watched eyes fixed on the two as the battle of will took place. The sudden bursting of the casket from the earth made him cover his eyes, when he looked back he realized the trouble. The Zetsu had ensnared Yuji. The roots spreading across the floor. Roukyou gasped as the room suddenly went dark and the air grew as cold as the grave. He couldn't see it, but he knew the Shinigami was there. Cursing he knew he only had moments. The Zetsu was molding itself and pressing into Yuji. If it did so there would be no saving him. Roukyou shot a hand forward stabbing the tip of his kunai into one of the roots tearing away a small chunk. Careful not to let the putty touch him he pulled out the parchment and stabbed the blade through the center of the seal mark. With a flick he sent the blade flying into the Zetsu's back hoping it would be distracted in its attempt to merge with Yuji. The kunai struck between the barely protruding shoulders making a sick sucking noise. 
Roukyou snarled and barked. Fūinjutsu: Shadowed mirror prison! The mirror across the room glowed with the same blue light that the seal had. A small vortex of blue energy formed over its surface rippling the glass like water and the bit of exposed Zetsu began to sluff off and into the vortex appearing in the mirror floating behind it's surface. Slowly the Zetsu began to be pulled back it's essence tied to the seal with the bit he had stabbed to the parchment and the seals drawn in chakra infused blood strengthening the seal. 
Roukyou held his breath still on one knee where he had thrown the blade. Would it be enough or would it be to little to late. His hope was the seal would pull Zetsu from Yuji body and essence and straight into the arms of the waiting Shinigami. If not, then at least it would be sealed in the mirror. 

Roukyou nodded grimly his mouth a thin line. Cracking his neck he pulled out his own scrolls. Trusting to the fact Yuji would know he was all in he began his own preparations. Not that he didn't trust the defenses set up by his friend, but because he knew the problamatic situations the Zetsu could bring about. Pricking his finger on the tab of each seal he pulled from their lengths a few implements of his own. First... a bottle of strong liquor. Taking a swig he set it aside before pulling on a long black trench coat with the metal plates from every ninja village he had served sewn onto the shoulders. All but the Leaf's had deep lines etched through their symbols. He wasn't going to do this as a member of any village. He was doing this as Roukyou Eko-itami the Wander of Lands. Adjusting the cuffs he pressed his bleeding thumb to a second and third scroll. The first contained a bottle of chakra pills. Opening the top he closed his eyes and braced for the pain. With a whispered word he loosed the hold on his kekkie genkai and felt the chaos of chakra flow through him. His head throbbed and his nose began to trickle blood. He coughed and spat into a dusty corner where blood mingled with the spittle. Tilting the bottle he let six or so pills fall into his mouth. If it weren't for the regenerative properties of his kekkie genkai this would surely kill him. He had discovered this improbable situation some 112 years before during a very dark moment on a battlefield he had wished to die on. Since he would use this abuse to his body as a way to drastically increase his power for a time. 
He winced as he felt his body react to the massive influx. His body burned as every nerve was seared by the chakra burning through him. His eyes widened and he gasped gritting his teeth, blindly he reached for the liquor and downed the rest of the bottle before tossing it away to shatter in the same corner he had spat. 
Closing his eyes he focused his mind and tried to force some order on the raging chaos inside him. After a moment he succeeded enough to carry on. His breath still raged he pressed his finger to the third and his familiar Faus the small fox appeared. If she was curious of her surroundings or going ons she didn't seem to show it. Roukyou leaned down whispering into her ear. After a moment the Fox bowed low and with a swirl of leaves vanished. 
Roukyou groaned and stood swaying a bit. Pulling another cigarette from a pocket he walked to the mirror. Circling behind it lifting it from where it leaned. With blood he drew a complicated set of markings on the back pulling out a small strip of parchment he drew an identical set on it and pressed a carefully detailed thumbprint onto the corner of each. For a moment each set glowed blue before fading. He slipped the parchment into his pocket and wandered to a spot against the wall. Closing his eyes he muttered a jutsu. Appearing one after the other four replica of himself stepped over placing their palms against the barrier and began reinforcing it their eyes closed. 
Roukyou slid down the wall pulling two kunai from his belt. From his pockets he slapped a couple of tags onto their hilts and held them on a finger in each hand. A half smile ghosted his lips his face hidden in the half light of the space. He looked up just as Yuji finished. Whatever happens happens. This was it. 
Roukyou clenched his fists around the hilts as he heard the final Summoning jutsu.

Roukyou sighed and reaching for the sake cup poured a second shot. With a flick of the wrist he downed it and grimaced. Setting the cup back down he ran a hand through his hair and rubbed the back of his head cracking his neck as he did. 
Looking back at Yuji as he sipped his tea he studied the shinobi before reaching up and undoing his hitai-ate with one hand and laying it on the table. Then standing he removed his vest folding it and and placing it next to the hitai-ate. Looking  back at Yuji he gave a slight bow.
"You answered my questions and I can not argue with your line of though. I will assist you, though not as a jonin of the village. I have turned a blind eye to many things that should be illegal in the name of protecting the village. I suppose this is just one more thing."
He looks down and gives a dark chuckle. "Here I go again. Returning to my 'roots' as it were."
As an after thought Roukyou reaches out and takes the rest of the bottle of sake.
"So, I suppose I am in this."

Rokyou held his position seated against the wall, taking long drags on his cigarette, eyes half slitted watching his friend busy himself with his preparations at the mention of Danzou Roukyou drowned and lowered his head. He did know much about Danzou. He had after all served in the Root for a time. The original I tent had been to do whatever was necessary to ensure the village's safety no matter the coast or distastefulness of the dead. Clenching his fists Roukyou thought of some of the things he had done for Root in the name of the visage first. He shivered feeling slightly as if the genjutsu outside of their position had seeped it's way inside him. Shaking hos head he came back to himself in time to hear Yuji's plan to bring back the Lord Second. He was slightly surprised as Yuji had always favored the Third, but seeing the mentality of the village he supposed he could see the draw. The Third had been a man of peace in a time of war. The Second would be a man of war in a time of peace. Something Yuji obviously thought the village currently lacked. 
Yuji surprised him by pausing in his preparations and pulling out a scroll he had seen many times with him out in the field. Roukyou couldn't help but let a smile ghost his expression as Yuji went about preparing tea service. Grinding out the cigarette he flicked it away. When Yuji offered him an invite to join him Roukyou gave a slight bow and knelt of the offered cushion. He had hoped there would be a pause. He wasn't sure yet if he was going to stop this. Many questions still needed answered and it seemed that this would be one rare instance when he would be indulged his request.
Roukyou politely poured a healthy measure of sake for each while Yuji pulled a set of candelabra from nearby and patiently waited for the shinobi to settle down. Rolling his cup between his hands he took a sip as Yuji began an explanation of his intentions. Roukyou stayed silent, but in his head he calculated the risks of allowing even this cleaned up version of a kinjutsu proceed. He had nearly decided that as a jonin of the leaf, whether he understood the reasoning or not, he couldn't allow this. He still had an obligation to the village even if he didn't feel as if it was his village anymore at times. Then. He hit him with the question that gave him pause. 
Roukyou listened to the rest of Yuji's well laid out reasoning and found himself with doubts upon his decision. Upon his completion Roukyou stared at the table his knuckles rolling against the wood. Without looking up he spoke.
"I do understand. This visage is not what it once was. Some call it progress, some call it folly. I call it the ever turning circle of time. I have seen much. More than maybe anyone in this village. I have watched tribes and cities rise in power, grow complacent and tumble when the peace they so held dear crumbled." Looking up he stared into Yuji's eyes and his jaw twitched. "I love peace, but I am not arrogant enough to believe it is endless or even not an illusion. Perhaps I agree with you. This village needs someone with a mind for war and conflict to shed perspective on the subject of peace and right now we have no one to do that. We have five people that think they know best and who knows. They may be what the villages need right now, but when they are gone or one stumbles in the mission of peace what will happen? I respect Lord Seventh, but he is idealistic. He may be a safe, but I don't believe he is truly the end all of war."
Taking a slow deep breath he downed the sake and placed the cup upended on the table before continuing. "If you would indulge me a few more questions I will make my decision and we will either finish our tea and then fight, we finish our tea and I leave or we finish our tea and I stay. So... the Lord Second... do you intend on leaving him his autonomy or keeping him on a leash? Second off. If you do bring him back and he decides to relieve you of your life for the violation of his rest would you accept that? Third of he arises and demands to be destroyed would you have the courage and respect to grant that wish? Answer me these and we will be at the point we find out how this plays out."

Roukyou hadn't expected warm greeting from the man in front of him, the greeting had more been a courtesy to alert him of his presence. A courtesy he told himself he wouldn't have extended to others should they be found in similar circumstances. 
The acknowledgment he recieved was right on par with the direct no nonsense demeanor he remembered. Yuji had been to close to Roukyou to try deception. He knew better and Roukyou could feel the displeasure from the man even from here, not necessarily directed at Roukyou himself, but the situation in general. 
"I could say the same. I didn't expect to find anyone, but the squalered of the village in this part of town either." Roukyou sending Yuji's gaze looked up at the two beams as well and frowned. The polite if stiff suggestion to move made his frown deepen. He decided to let this scenario play out for now.
Upon his step back Yuji began his preparations to the site. Roukyou leaned silently against the wall eyes closed as he kept his senses open feeling the auras around him in his minds eye he saw the senbon still quivering in the wood glowing as the genjutsu traps flared into resistance with Yuji's words. They were strong and he pitied anyone that happened to wander into their clutches. To be blind and faced with your worst fears. Not an experience he wished upon anyone, let alone the few ragged individuals that may call this area home. 
His brow furrowed and arms crossed Roukyou felt the familiar rushing swirl of leaves as the genjutsu built up nearby even on its fringes his mind darkened and unbidden images began to flash through his thoughts. With a quick handsign he snapped the connection and opened his eyes to study Yuji stepping g up beside him. 
He was relatively sure his former comrade wouldn't attack him outright for what he was witnessing and the invitation while unexpected was not overly out of character. 
Roukyou nodded and followed the other Shinobi easily leaping to the beams above, protected from the screen of Jutsu bu invitation and his own control of his mind. Taking a seat where the beams met the walls of the building he looked up at Yuji and raised a brow.
"I am sure you haven't kidded yourself into believing I don't at least suspect what you plan on doing here my old friend. You are smarter than that." Rokyou teaching into a pocket pulled out a paper and a pinch of herbs and proceeded to make himself a fresh cigarette. "You also are smart enough to know that if I don't like the answers you give I won't hesitate to end this. So... I assume you can justify this to me and tell me why I won't. I know that stench. It is kinjutsu you plan on using and one that requires more than I know you are unwilling to face another to endure in sacrifice." Pausing Roukyou looks down unconcernededly in a show of trust he hopes will night bite him in the end and closes his eyes as he lights his cigarette and takes a deep long drag before speaking in a slightly strained tone as he holds the blessed smoke in. "Now... give me a reason and I will decide how this scenario plays out." Exhaling slowly he opens his eyes slightly head resting tilted back against the wall looking at Yuji. His appearance calm and relaxed.

I am rusty as hell hope that works. Sorry for the long wait. Phone takes forever as always. 

Roukyou Eko-itami stood at the counter of the herbal shop his gloved hand hovering over the services bell on the counter after having already rang it for the fourth time. He winced at the sound as he rang it a fifth. His hand going to his forehead where he kneaded and massaged the dull ache there that seemed never to go away. He had been stupid thinking he could hold out to renew his stock of herbs. The shop he normally went to in the center of the newly rebuilt village usually was able to fill his orders, but the decline in severe injuries due to near constant war had lead to a decline in the quantity of his herbs. The next shipment wouldn't be arriving for nearly a fortnight and Roukyou knew he wouldn't last that long. This being the case he had wandered through the village looking for a herbalist that gathered their own herbs and was off the beaten path. This had lead him on a rather depressing walk through the still somewhat damaged and neglected older districts of the city that had been overlooked with the renovations to the new updated and modernized "downtown" a thing that Roukyou accepted with a forced smile. He had lobbied heavily to rebuild the village as it was and to strengthen the defenses, but the new council had shrugged him off and went with the idea that the wars were over and it was time to celebrate peace. Roukyou had sighed and bowed out with grace even providing a sizable chunk of funds under an anonymous donation to begin the return to "normal" for the village. A normal that Roukyou felt left behind by, but what did he know. He was a relic of a different time. He strived to keep up, but found himself a step behind. He was just glad for a time of peace no matter how brief it may be in the scheme of things. He had seen enough war, death and carnage in his long life. Multiple wars and many friends gone later he would welcome any peace and do his best to be there for the new emerging society that was different from what he knew. With a sigh he rang the bell again, a gritted tooth smile plastered on his face. With a sigh he looked both ways before hopping the counter and to the multiple rows of cubbies, drawers and shelves and began rummaging around reading the name on each. With a groan of relief he found the shop had a large stock of all his needed herbs. Some were in boxes marked with a notation stating they needed an medi-nin's sign off to be issued. With a chuckle to himself he rolled his eyes and in a exaggerated official voice asked himself aloud. "Foxx, you were a medi-bin in the third war. Do you think Roukyou needs these herbs?" Turning completely the other direction he nodded imfaticaly and said in a different nerdier voice. "Uh.. It is my opinion this man would not function without them." Turning back to the drawers he gathered up the whole stock of the herbs he needed and placed them on the counter. From his pocket he pulled out a wad of cash and tossed it on the closed register at the end of the counter. Not waiting to get home he reached in a pocket and pulled out a rolling paper and began pinching herbs onto it before deftly rolling it and flipping it into his mouth. With a handing he flicked his thumb and lit the tip of the cigarette with the small flame there. Taking a deep drag he gave a moan as the smoke began to dull the pain all over his body. He gathered up the herbs tucking them into various impossibly places pockets. He suddenly looked up. Despite the slight smoke befuddlement to his sense of smell he though he caught the whiff of a familiar person. One he hadn't scented since the last battle of the war that had changed the world as he knew it. Curiously he wandered from the shop and stepped out into the shabby street. Raising his nose to the sky he took a deep breath and with a wince tapped into his reserves to help strengthen the sense of smell he used to be able to use without the help of chakra. He gave a half smile as he caught the smell. Yes, it was one he knew. He had fought along side this man and had been close friends with him. How long had it been? Months? A year? Be wandered casually down the road towards an even more derelict part of town. A brow rose as the area became a bit seedier and he saw homeless villagers huddling in alleyways looking out at him nervously. A jonin in uniform was something they obviously hadn't seen in awhile. Roukyou turned a corner and taking a quick sniff noted the man he had expected leaning against a building looking out over the city seemingly lost in though. Roukyou nearly called out, but something stopped him, nagging at his senses. He closed his eyes and took a long slow breath and reaching out with his mind gently prodded the mental barriers of the other shinobi. They were as strong as he remembered,  but somehow different. Twisted. Thorny and bitter. Frowning Roukyou sniffed again and this time his senses snagged on a rotten and vulgar aura wafting from somewhere on Yuji Itou's person. Cursing Roukyou ground out the cigarette and flicked it away taking a moment to clear his mind and force his chakras back in line. He sniffed again and his eyes widened as he recognized the foul stench from a summoning jutsu he had smelled during a very dangerous time. A growl escaped his throat as he made a snarl. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath. Just because "that" scroll was here didn't mean it was to be used. He would give the benefit of the doubt. Composing his face he stuck his hands into his pockets and strolled casually towards the man leaning at the end of the block. "Well look what we have here. It seems this place attracts old soldiers like the hotsprings attract tourists. If it isn't my old friend Yuji."

I don't take meds for my anxiety namely because my insurance sucks at the moment. I use CBS and meditation which keeps me at least stable enough to function. Though changes or little things can unbalance it fairly easily. Anyway, cool we can do it here. Apparently the forum doesn't support news phones networks. I will start a reply here in a min. Been busy. Sorry about that. 

Well crap. The site wont let me post on the forums from a phone anymore. 
Anyway, was the bio okay? I can play needed characters if need be and I can accept those relationships with Yuji. It fits the new character style. Anyway, yeah. Mine is never ever 0. I wish it would be, usually out of 10 I am an even five at all times. There have been a few days I couldn't convince myself to get out of bed and a few times I literally went clothed into the shower and sat there for hours even when the water was freezing.

Specialties: Chakra sensing, enhanced senses, kekkei genkai *regenerative abilities, strength and chakras enhanced when activated* studying vainly to learn senjutsu to help alleviate his failing chakras, unknown age limit.

Other notes: Veteran of many wars even before the creation of the villages he spent most of his life on a battlefield either being used as a soldier or later trying to save others with healing. As he grew older his taste for open warfare fades some. Still not one to shy away from a fight he much prefers to use his head to beat his opponents. Years of abusing his long ago nearly wiped out clans kekkie genkai has left his chakra flows damaged. Still unimaginable powerful, but prone to backfire and damage their users self. Chronic pain racks his body, but he muddles through with help of the nearly ever present herbal cigarettes. Usually cool and calm and happy to help those in need his patience quickly frays when dealing with those making things harder than needed. His desire to keep his temper in check leads him to self destructive activities and habits. He has more than a few times found himself without money for food due to a gambling debt, though when he strikes it big be simply takes what he owes or lost and donated the rest to the village as penence for his laps. Despite his ailments he still functions as village ANBU and is fully capable of carrying out any mission given to him. Still taking on even S ranked missions with high success he is often given the pick of missions first in order to accommodate his current capabilities. 

Having someone that gets it is nice. Tbh I don't really have anyone. I was diagnosed with severe generalized anxiety disorder and not many ppl I know get it at all and the few that understand it some still don't grasp it enough to know I am quite literally always stressed and on the verge of an attack. 
Anyway, glad you liked the changes. I will say forgive me if I take awhile to get back I to the swing of the Narutoverse. I may have to look up some things. Anyway. Also, I still use my phone to post so it takes some time. You can set up the scenario. I will work on a quick bio.

Nothing wrong with carrying a torch still. Well not in my opinion anyway. I still carry one for my "one". She knows it too. Anyway, I am not an overly bland person, but I like spunk and fire in a partner.
Anyway, I like the changes too. Feel free if you feel like writing the two together to use my Roukyou. As always you have my permission to use him as you will. I believe for sake of character I will keep Roukyou as the first name, but to fit the character even for what he was before will make his last to Eko-itami. Namely cause it fits and well I get to use my name in it. Anyway, I like that change to Yuji. It would fit the personality shift. Older will make it easier to play as well. TBH I don't think I could play a teen as well as I used to. I am to jaded now. Lol. Anyway, I see Roukyou as easy going and more tolerant to some minor things. Liked, but also feared not just because he is powerful, but because he isn't overly open about himself. He is good natured, but has a short fuse when he feels things are being complicated when they don't need to be. Capable of playing the long game, but being frustrated by it with impatience manifest in destructive tendencies that he tries not to let reflect outward and turn him to destructive inward things like alcohol, smoking and vigilante style justice. Maybe some dangerous hobbies or gambling. Things that vent his frustrations but don't hurt those he cares about in a physical way. Anyway, I think I will also tweak his stronger abilities and make them harder than when he was younger. Costing him more to use, but due to his nature he doesn't conserve them. He grits his teeth and bares the pain. He is a grizzled war vet after all. He will be in chronic pain and I believe he will chain smoke herbal cigarettes to ease the pain when he overdoes it. He will also I think lose control of his abilities sometimes and the power will backlash on his nervous system sending him into agony. Not often, just when he really really over does it. Ya know like levels 25 miles of forest. I think one of his eyes will be failing him some. Enough to where he covers it some days when he needs precision work done. Anyway, if Roukyou saw yuji using Edo Tensei he would be concerned. Understand, but be very concerned and confront him and try and stop him. 
Anyway, we can try here. Though as I said. My cannon knowledge Is far less than I used to have. Lol. We can try the RP section. 

Nothing wrong with having a type, and I don't think your type sounds weird at all. She sounds like she was/is a caring and good person. I am sorry to hear she was not available to you now. As to types. Well my "one" and I grew up inseparable. We were practically brother and sister until teen hormones and realizations started in. Then we were still nearly siblings. Just a bit more infatuated with one another in other ways. She has Chestnut coloured hair, is just as odd and mischievous as I am. We think alike, but have enough differences that it madeife interesting and richer. Sadly she chose the path of being exactly what her parents had in mind for her... well mostly... I kinda ruined some of their plans, but she now follows the path her parents put out for her and she was miserable for years and years due to that. when she finally broke that off and was her own person openly again *she was always herself around me and it led us to trouble a few times* I wasn't around. Some 2K miles away and in a happy relationship. She now has as she says settled for second best and is happy. Though we both rule the situations and timing of fate. ANYWAY, pardon the unasked for story. Yeah, I will admit Roukyou would probably have a few tweaks to him as well. Most likely to reflect changes in me. A bit more cynical, if possible a bit more reckless, a little quicker to anger, he already could be violent in private if you remember the forest he decimated. But now he probably would be a bit more likely to lash out in public, his abilities would probably be tweaked. Possibly if we started completely from scratch story wise would be based on Vulpine rather than Lupine. Kiba would be switched for Foxx. Possibly a full name change. We would have to see. Also, probably a bit older. Little more grizzled and careworn. Not letting true age through, but letting at least some of the damages of time show. Anyway, yeah. I was interested in where it went too. I will have to reread the story version and the RP. TBH I despite it being more recent I don't remember much of Shippuden due to life events and the RP stopping. Though I do miss the RP and mentally engaging back and forth we had. We would have to find a good platform for it. Here as always makes it hard due to no notices anymore that activity occurred. 

TBH I haven't been single since before I was 18. Married once, been in love multiple times. My "one" was someone I met when I was 8 years old. We have been and still are best friends. Though life, circumstances, marriages, mistakes and all manner of things kept us apart. Anyway, I am more rogue/knave than gentleman. Always have been. I may be a man of principle and honor, but it isn't always what ppl expect or wish. I live, love and carry on by my own rules and codes society and propriety be damned. Anyway, thanks. I am glad you liked my character.  Who knows. Maybe if we do start up an RP again I will revisit and rework him a bit. TBH he has more in him than is probably proper, but he was mine. Anyway, we should start an RP again, though on here I am not sure how well it would go. Lol. The RP section is pretty much dead.

Thanks, we do our best to keep things fresh and to stay close even on the days we work. Lol. Anyway, well. I appreciate the enjoyment of my character. While not outright god mode he was rather strong. At least I tried to put offseters into his character. Though in a world with just about everyone having powers of a near god in some cases... ehe. Anyway, it I were to do an updated new RP I would need to watch the full series again as it has been a good while since I have. Lol. I lost time and the means to watch it for a good while. Still love watching it. I also need to watch FMA brotherhood and Death Note again. Another few Iiked. Anyway, I like the ideas and the impromptu story bit. I always enjoyed your work. 

The rule keeps us from becoming to aloof. We live together, but since we see one another on our working days for about an hour and a half, we make the most of our joint days off. Otherwise we would drift apart and we don't want that. Anyway, yeah. That RP was rather predictive and awesome. Lol. Though I look back and see plenty of flaws in mine own character. Oh well. I still loved playing him. Anyway, I liked how yours turned out. He was interesting without being overbearing. 

I may only work 4 days a week, but the 3 days I am off two I have a rule I don't use the computer on those two days because I share them with my Significant Other.  So we really don't do many solo activities those days. On my one day off I have to myself I catch up on chores, play games and when the muse hits me I write. Sad thing as I said is now I have no one to read or care about it so i don't do that often. Anyway, yeah. I didn't really care for the remake and the franchise has been floundering for awhile. I too miss our days of long running RP with ppl here. Reading one another's stories and chats via PM. 

No worries. Adulting happens and life comes at ya in odd ways at times. As always it is good to hear from you. Anyway, I haven't gotten to write in a good while due to my work schedule. I work 10 hrs days, so by the time I get off I need to sleep. Anyway, I miss the days too getting to read up on your stories. I also liked your House stories too. 

I have an in with a printing company. Namely because I worked for them and left on good terms. I write original content just in case the story I write is worth publishing through them. Will admit I am still a Fur, and the company is a Furry publishing and print company, but I know a few authors that do that and make good livings. Anyway, I try to check here at least once a night. Hopefully we won't miss one another as often. 

True. Though in my case prob doesnt help much that I do mostly original content now. Lol. Anyway, if need be we can always find a common format to chat on. Then we might not miss one another as often. Lol. Some reason despite my settings I no longer get notices from here of activity. Just if I happen to pop on. 

I am doing fairly well. Lots of work and adulting. Still enjoying hobbies, though writing hasn't happened in awhile because I have no audience really. How goes life with you?

Seems I missed you again. 

Greetings friend. Hope all is well with ya. I miss chatting.

Wow, it's been forever, man! I haven't been on FAC in a while, but if you're around, I'll be happy to check in again. Pretty much everyone I know is gone here, sadly.

oops. I forgot to check for your response here on your profile. I do check in every few weeks or so. Just forgot to look here. I clicked your profile link and realized my mistake. 

Wow, it's been forever, man! I haven't been on FAC in a while, but if you're around, I'll be happy to check in again. Pretty much everyone I know is gone here, sadly.

it's okay how have you been? ^^

hiya^^

i hear ya

They're alright how are things with you?

Hey man it's been awhile :D how are things going? we need to catch up dude!!

Sorry for the late reply, after being on holiday my work piled up and I had to deal with it.
So yeah, I packed a lot of things in my little trip to Japan.  Would definitely go back again.
And I just read Okuden and I only have one thing to say;  What in the hell just happened?  If total mind bending is your goal, you have achieved it.  Surprised and confused, wasn't expecting that outcome.

Well aside from all the traveling, we did a lot of things.
Went to the Studio Ghibli museum.  Went to Nanako Broadway.  Went to the Meiji Shrine as well as the shops around it and Yoyogi park.  Went to the Tokyo tower, fantastic view.  Went to the Buddhist temple in Tokyo.  Went to J-World.  Went to Akihabara for our anime merchandise fix.  Went to visit Studio Mad House and see the guys and girls work on how they make anime.  Well actually to be more specific studio Mad Box, which is the umbrella company to Mad House, but still the same place.  Also went to the Hama-rikyu Gardens.  And finally on my free day I went to Ikibukuro (I think that's how it's spelt) and went around the shops there.
All in all, a jam packed experience.  Hoping to one day return again.

Hey!!!!!!!! Its been years!! (havent been on since 2012) How have you been doing?

Just to let you know, I'm back from Japan.  It was awesome

Sorry, my replies have been more and more spaced out recently.  Just working a lot.

That's good, at least something good came out of that :)
That's certainly true.  Sony still seems to have their head on straight.  Nintendo's doing good too, imho.  I just wish they would stop teasing and just announce a Majora's Mask remake already.  Microsoft definitely isn't in great shape.  But I'm not sure whether I want to fault them for it or not.  They were trying to be innovative and try something new, but were shot down because of it.  At least they tried to set things straight.  I can't say I'm going to buy an Xbone though.  It just doesn't look all that appealing to me.

That's what I was thinking!  If I'm the customer, I want the workers to finish helping me first before starting on another customer!  Really?  What has this world come to when people are expected to break the rules.  You seriously jumped on them?  That's hilarious!  I kinda wish I could have been there to see it XD  Sounds like it wasn't fun for the players though.

Yeah, you're right.  It would be awkward if we were using two different versions of Robotnik the whole time and didn't realize it.  I'm glad :)  I never cared much for the old Dr. Robotnik's design.  I mean he was intimidating and all... but... Dr. Eggman stays more true to the video game's design of him.

Huh. I'll have to keep that in mind if I need to buy a new tv.  You may be right about Microsoft; though I've heard rumors about Xbox becoming its own company so that they can focus on the games and hardware, but I don't know if that's true or not.  It was just a rumor I heard.  I actually think Sony will be fine.  They're still a fan favorite from the early Final Fantasy games, so, as long as there are FF fans out there, I don't think Playstation will ever go away. It would be interesting to see Microsoft work on PC gaming but... I think everyone likes Steam too much to bother with anything Microsoft tries to do.

I know, right?  Now you have to cling on to your job for dear life.  It gets exhausting.

Yeesh, really?  Wow, I think Best Buy needs to focus on getting their jobs organized.  I don't blame you for not wanting to take the job.  There was one job I quit because I couldn't handle the way they wanted me to handle customers.  I was a cashier at Party City, and part of my job was to blow up balloons for people. What bothered me so much about this job was that, if there was a line of people behind the person that bought balloons.  I was supposed to help all of those customers before I could blow up the balloons.  It was stupid, and I made that very clear when I quit.  It should be first come, first served, at least in my mind.

Oh, sorry, I didn't make that very clear.  My fic is going to use Dr. Eggman.  I just prefer to call him "Robotnik" because it sounds more intimidating.  That, and I don't ever plan on having Tiffany call him "Eggman".  She's either refer to him as "Doctor" or "Dr. Robotnik" in most situations.

The upside is that I wound up with a TV I really like, so it was a semi-blessing.  Good point about Sony, too. I've gotten more impressed with them, actually- it seems like they actually have bothered to learn their craft. They didn't make any of the mistakes that Microsoft and Nintendo made this generation, and they didn't price themselves out of the market like they did with the PS3.

You said it!

Wow, that really is dumb. If I'm the customer waiting an hour for six balloons, I'm ticked off and going to the drug store instead. Huh. I was once semi-fired because I refused to referee hockey the "wrong way". I always called penalties and enforced the rules; the players hated that and complained to the staff because the other refs were so lax. Thing is, there were less fights and injuries during the games I refereed. (I will admit, I was creative when I broke up fights. You ever see refs jump on top of a pile in a hockey game? I jumped as high as I could and came down elbow-first, lol)

You're okay; I ask because I want to make sure we're at the same place in the time line. That's a detail I think we should definitely agree on.

It destroyed your tv?  I didn't know a game console could do that O_o  I've never had a plasma though, I have an HD LED, and game consoles don't affect it in any way.  It just makes old games look very pixelated.  As cool as that would be, I don't see Sega coming back any time soon.  They kind of ruined their own reputation, and the only company that still seems willing to work with them is Nintendo (how ironic)  Same can be said for Capcom... well Megaman anyway.  Nintendo seems much more interested in Megaman than Capcom does these days.  I'm not sure how weak microsoft is right now.  They have sold a lot of consoles, and seem to be somewhat redeeming themselves after that terrible E3 conference last year.  Though there is no argument that Sony is definitely doing a bit better than they are at the moment.

That's how I see it.  Working as a manager in a corporate owned business is very unwise, as your chances of moving up are very limited.  If you can get a job in management in some private owned company or something like that, you'd definitely be better off :)

Hehe, yeah :)

That's a good idea.  Kind of the best of both worlds :)  Good thinking.

It seems that every job has an unadvertised portion to it.  I remember having a conversation with my coworkers at KFC about how when we applied to be cashiers, we weren't applying to clean bathrooms or scrub floors or anything like that.  They should really put a list of responsibilities under the job you're applying for so you don't get stuck with jobs you didn't apply for.  But anyway, I'm glad to hear you're going back.  Hopefully you can find a decent job quickly :)

No problem :)

(UGH!  I just wrote out a full reply and when I went to post it, it said I wasn't logged in! Even though I was, so I just lost that entire post!  I hate FAC sometimes)
Yeah, that's definitely true.  My N64 and Gamecube still work like new.  But honestly, I think it's not really old vs. new in the case of consoles.  Microsoft and Sony have never made very durable consoles, they were always breakable,  Nintendo has never made a console that breaks easily.  I haven't even heard horror stories of the wii breaking down at any point unless it was done deliberately by someone.  Yeah, unfortunately some people are like that. I have a facebook account so they don't complain that I don't have one... they just get mad at me for not using it.

Management seems like it could be a very difficult position.  I know my managers always look worn out.  They're forced to stay overtime every single day if they want to keep their positions.  I would never go into management at my store.  Aw, you're too kind NG :)  I'm glad someone appreciates my work ethic.  God knows my coworkers don't >>'

LOL, Honestly, Tiffany's age won't be a real issue.  She may be over 50 years old, but in reality, she would have only spent about 6-8 years of her life... well... alive.  .... I'm not sure if that makes the situation better or worse to be honest... Either way, you get the point :)  Yeah, their relationship is going to be fun to write about.

I don't know/  I'm torn on what to do.  If Shadow worked for GUN, it would make him and Tiffany enemies to a point, since she's not willing to forgive GUN for what they're done, and would treat her brother as a traitor for working for them willingly.  But if we do that, we can't make him a villain or have him work for Dr. Eggman at any point, so that would limit what we can do with him.

Cool, hope it goes well :)

Really?  You're apologizing?  No, I'm sorry it's taking me so long to respond.  I've got a lot of projects I'm working on, so they're taking up a big chunk of my time.  So don't feel bad about your response time, you're fine.  Life happens.

Truthfully, they have the ability to make smart phones more durable, but they won't do it because they want you to break your phone and have to pay to get it fixed or replaced.  It's all about the money with them.  That's why I waited so long before I got my galaxy S3.  I have to admit though, online accessibility from anywhere is pretty nice!  I get ya.  It's so hard to tell people that you want to be left alone without them taking it the wrong way.

You're not afraid of giving bad news, and you think being encouraging is better than bossing people around?  Those two things right there would make you the perfect supervisor, NG.  I'm terrified of giving/receiving bad news, and I'm a bit short tempered and very sarcastic when I'm in a bad mood, so most people wouldn't like me if I was in charge.  Have you considered looking for a job in management?  It may not be a supervisor job, but it's a step toward it.
I see where you're coming from as far as good and bad deeds being grouped together goes.  I don't see it as much where I work because we're under a union.  Most of us have even met our corporate bosses, or at least someone right under them.  We're also rewarded/punished individually based on customer reviews and complaints, so we don't have to worry about getting in trouble for one of our coworkers not doing what they were supposed to do.

omg, I really like that idea!  I don't know why, but the thought of Ekyt being a "father figure" to Tiffany is absolutely hilarious and adorable to me!  I mean that in a very good way, by the way.  I think it's funny, because Tiffany's so independent, yet so naive at the same time, so having someone be overprotective of her when it comes to boys would just be adorably funny!  I don't know if that made sense at all...  Point being, it's a great idea :)  I'm really enjoying the connection these two are going to have.

Oh, btw, are we going to have Shadow work for GUN or should he be independent?  I feel like it could bring up an interesting point of conflict between Shadow and Tiffany, but I'm not sure if we want to go that direction with it.

Hey, there you go!  Don't over think what they say about "party schools".  Usually that stuff is restricted to the dorms, so as long as you're not living there, you should be fine.  I'd definitely say it's worth looking into :)

I can understand not wanting a smart phone. They're expensive and extremely fragile.  The only reason I have one is because I am a Youtube Creator and I need to be able to access my channels from anywhere.  Though I have to admit, smart phones do make texting much less of a chore.  Flip phones are nice, they definitely last.  I used to have one, and dropped it so many times I lost track.  It didn't break until I accidentally dropped it down three flights of metal stairs, and even then, it was still perfectly functional, the screen was just messed up. 

Hehe, solid point.  It is cool that you got to work in a place like that :)  It's too bad they didn't offer you any room for advancement.  I imagine being a manager or something would be a pretty relaxing job.  Coworkers can definitely make any job more tolerable.  I probably would have gone insane by now at my job if it weren't for my coworkers.  Me? A supervisor?  That's nice of you to say, but I couldn't do it.  I don't like stressful jobs, and the last thing I want is to be in charge of other people.  When my boss put me in charge of the night crew, I told him I'm not cut out for leadership.  Unfortunately, due to my seniority, I don't have a choice >>'  Thankfully my coworkers are reliable enough that I don't really have to supervise them.  I just have to answer their questions.  You, on the other hand, would probably do really well as a supervisor.  You seem like the type of person who can take charge when the situation demands it.

That's a great idea!  It ties everything together quite well :)  The whole situation would start to break down Tiffany's barriers too.  Due to her past experiences with death, she would do everything within her power to make sure Ekyt got out of there alive.  That type of devotion toward someone she only recently met would most likely raise questions about her.  And when it comes down to them talking, it will really be a moment of realization for her that someone genuinely trusts her, and she doesn't have to be so closed off.

Geez, not very discreet are they?  I wouldn't give a single dime to a school like that.  I'd rather go to a more expensive school than a racist school.  You really could have pushed the issue.  It isn't right for a college to do that.

 

Instant messaging is like that for me.  I hate texting or sending messages on my phone though; especially if I'm having a full conversation with someone.  I hate the idea of wasting time writing everything out when I could just call them and talk to them.  I used to be like that when making phone calls.  That changed pretty quickly when I got my first job because I was forced to answer the phone.  Yeah, that's true; wearing certain clothes can give you more confidence.  Not sure why, it must be a psychological thing.  Weird, huh?

Cool. I'll take a look :)

Geez.  I couldn't work in an environment like that.  I like to know that my boss trusts me, so having rules that are too strict is an immediate turn off for me.  At my job, I never see my boss.  I'm "in charge" of night shift, and work hours that never overlap with his, but he trusts  me enough that he rarely feels the need to check on me.  I like to be trusted like that, it makes my job much less stressful.  I just have to keep up with what's expected of me and I'll be fine.  That really does sound frustrating.  Guess you guys had to be old fashioned and keep a watch on you, huh?  Yeah, I can see why undershirts wouldn't be preferred in that situation.  I work in a cooler most of the time, so I don't generally have to worry about being too hot.

Hehe, that would be fun :)  Tiffany would be on board with that, more for the sake of making sure he doesn't kill himself in the process of trying to take (insert enemy here) down than anything.

Ugh, that sounds terrible!  I'm sorry you have to put up with that.  Even if it seems minor, you would still think that they'd help you in some way or another.  I guess it's one of those things where if you don't have it, you can't understand it.  That's truly unfortunate.  Yeah, I figured as much.  racially biased schools are annoying.  I didn't pay enough attention to really be able to tell if my school is biased or not, but it never seemed to me like it was.

Cool, we can stick to that version of him then :)

 

Haha, It's not arrogant at all :)  I get what you mean. Speaking to others can be a real chore at times.  Having to focus on the person you're talking to and come up with something sensible to say can really be frustrating.  Most of my friends know that I don't think before I speak, so they know to be forgiving with me when I say something insulting or stupid.  I guess that's why I prefer to message people.  I have as much time as I need to come up with a decent response to what they say.  I don't know what it is with me and public speaking.  Even though I know the subject, I still get super nervous when everyone's attention is on me.  What makes it weird is that I can get on stage and act/say lines without a problem.  I think it's because I have more confidence in the character I'm playing as than I do in myself.  I will admit to having very little self-confidence.

Geez, that sounds like a really cool opportunity!  Too bad it fell through, but it's still cool you got to participate in it like that :)  I'm a bit envious, to tell you the truth!  I would love to be involved with a video game company!

Really?  That's dumb; they shouldn't stop you from buying food just because you're in uniform.  We don't have rules like that where I work, but most of us prefer to wear a shirt under our uniforms.  That way we can just take off the uniform shirt when we go to lunch and avoid having to talk to customers.  Yeah, they don't want us to keep our phones on us either, but it's not reinforced.  Mainly because there's no other way for us to keep track of time when we're on the floor,
 
Hehe, yep, someone's got to keep him in line.  It may as well be his girlfriend and a good friend :)  I figured there would be a few issues with him formerly being human; but I look forward to seeing their trust in him grow over time.

Ugh, I don't blame you there. school "politics" are the worst, and sometimes just aren't worth the time or stress. Pfft, I don't blame you, I would have some very unchristian words to say to them too if they turned me down for that reason.  I think having a functional family should be rewarded!  I can't say I know too much about anxiety, but from what I've seen, it doesn't seem fun to deal with.  It's really stupid they wouldn't take it into consideration just because it's not "visible".  ADHD isn't visible, yet everyone seems willing to help those people out!  And ADHD isn't even that bad! 

Wow, what did they do to him!?  He seems like he was such a solid character before.  If you want to, I'm all for using this version of him instead for the story.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how their relationship develops

Aw, don't take a situation like that to heart.  She was probably an introvert too, so it most likely didn't mean anything.  I know what you mean.  I can be socially awkward from time to time.  I mostly talk to weird quirky people.  If a person opens up to me first, then I don't have a hard time talking to them.  As far as public speaking goes.  I can't do it.  I always start shaking and get super nervous. Don't know why.  You're lucky that you have such an easy time with it.

You have a friend that's making the game?  That's awesome!  It'd be cool if they could make a couple changes before the final release.  I forgot about Sonic's arms being blue.  It ticked me off too when I saw him like that.  Yeah, I agree.  As long as the voice acting is good or decent.  I can handle cheesy dialogue and can tolerate poor writing as long as the VA is decent.

Wow, really?  It seems like at my job they want us to take shorter lunches.  I always take 30 though.  They like to squeeze everything out of us that they can get, so I won't give them the time of day.. We have lockers in my workspace.  We can bring anything we want with us, as long as it stays in our lockers until we're on break or lunch.  I get extra leeway because I work so late, and my boss put me in charge.   Ooh, I love Arby's!  I like my down time though, so I'll just buy food at the store instead of going to a restaurant.  I don't like feeling rushed.

I would say so!  It's gonna be fun!  Aw, it'll be nice to see something good happen to him for once!  Poor guy deserves it once in a while :)  Though I am ruining your dark plans of keeping him from being liked most of the time, because Tiffany will like him, and she'll enjoy being around him, so HA!

LOL, but yeah, that's unacceptable.  If I had a teacher like that, I would drop the class and ask for my money back.  I don't pay hard-earned cash to have someone blow me off like that.

Wait, what!?  He is?  I never knew that about Charmy, now I'm super curious!  erm... I never played Knuckles' Chaotix... just to make that clear.  I liked his voice in Sonic Heroes, I felt like he was supposed to be annoying, and I found it kinda cute!  Besides, I think his personality goes humorously well with Vector's, but I see why you dislike it.

Ah, that's true.  I was considering that myself.  I just wasn't sure how well their personalities would mesh.  But you make a good point with Bunnie being so friendly.  And having them spar would be cool.  Since Bunnie has a different fighting style than Sonic and Shadow, sparring with her would be pretty refreshing on Tiffany's part.

 

Got the impression that the battle had a lot of holding back.  Chiyoko for wanting/needing to die again and Ryofu for feeling somewhat guilty for having to kill her again.
Yuji hitting breaking point is always (For me) very interesting, as he seems to have many of them and all for various things.  But mostly it's what he does after each of his break points that make the story worth while as it can either cripple him or make him stronger, sometimes both.

I'll be hanging around in and around Tokyo city going to the parks, shrines and various other landmarks.  Also going to the Studio Ghibli museum as well as an anime studio, which one I don't know but it'll be exciting.

I've had that happen once or twice.  But usually when I plan on going somewhere, I look forward to it, and I'm happy I went afterward.  That's natural, we need sunlight to survive, though some need it less than others.  I'm one of those people.  I can stay indoors for days without being bothered from lack of sunlight... though I do go a bit stir crazy from lack of social interaction.

Yeah, I'm kinda curious about Sonic Boom.  I'm also nervous, though.  I'm okay with most of the designs. Tails looks cool, I like Amy's.  Sonic's was unnecessary.  And WTF happened to Knuckles?  Also, they don't need sports tape...  I saw a design for Shadow too, and I'm not sure if it's official or not, but it made me cringe!  I really hope it's not official.

We have forced lunch at my job too.  If you work 8 hours, you have to take a lunch.  I totally know where you're coming from.  When I'm on lunch, I don't want to talk to anybody.  I usually watch Youtube vids on my phone, or play with my 3DS.  It bugs me when one of my coworkers comes in and try to be social with me.  I know they're trying to be polite, but I'm not much of a conversationalist.  It is cool when people are inclusive like that though.  It makes them easier to get along with.

Hehe. this is going to be cool!  I look forward to these portions of the story :)  Ekyt's going to be such an interesting and nontraditional character!
I like the way this is going with Tiffany.  I need to make sure I balance out showing how awful she feels without making her act too dramatic over it... I have a bad habit of making characters over-dramatic haha.  Good time to work on that I suppose.

Yeah, that's definitely true.  I've never had that problem with any of my professors.  Most of them are pretty genuine, and are happy to teach and help you learn.  Though I do see a difference between Gen Ed professors, and professors who teach classes toward a certain type of degree.  I think gen ed professors are just tired of no one really caring about their classes, and just taking them because they have to.

I can totally see that happening!  The chaotix are going to be a riot.  I love how calmly Kurt will react to them.  I can just imagine him feeling all smug inside after proving Vector wrong about something.

Veru true.  Her friendship with Sally would open a window of opportunity for her, so that'd definitely be good.  Tiffany probably won't get too involved with many of the other freedom fighters.  She would enjoy the challenge Sonic offers her as far as speed and combat go, so they'd get along all right.  She secretly thinks Tails is adorable, but won't admit it, not even to Ekyt.  I can see her and Rotor having a very similar sense of humor sometimes.  I could actually see them becoming decent friends.  I see Antoine as being the one that trusts her the least, so she'd keep her distance from him... or play a prank on him at Rotor's suggestion... I could see that too.

Okuden Chapter Comment;  If Chiyoko had lived longer, I wonder how the battle with Ryofu would have gone down.  And Yuji's repressed memories is making me wonder that maybe his own memory might be altered to hide something.  The mystery is very intriguing.

Sorry for replying late.  Been busy planning a trip to Japan.  Small details can't be overlooked, so many hurdles to jump over.
How you been doing?

I don't have to be so much motivated as I have to be in the mood to go out.  However, if I make plans, I usually look forward to them and don't bail out unless I have a good reason to.  As for going outside... I'm not big on going outdoors.  Though I do enjoy zoos and going for walks in the woods' but that's usually the extent of it.

Yeah, I got that vibe too.  It seemed like it could have carried on.  I kind of wish a different company would remake it without Chris.  The show had some potential.

I'm not too friendly myself, I just like to think that my coworkers and I are on the same side.  We have to deal with the same problems and the same customers, so we understand each-others pain.
Hehe, yeah, I would be uncomfortable with that too.  Though they probably meant well by it. 

Ah, so he'll be the type to hit the books!  That's cool.  It'd be neat to see old, unused techniques in use!

Yeah, that will definitely make her more comfortable.  She'll appreciate him a lot for that.  Hehe, It's cute.  I love how open they are with each other :) 

Yeah, I have to wonder how people come to enjoy college so much.  I guess it's those groups that make a hundred friends and go out partying all the time that enjoy it so much.  I enjoy it decently, but it gets tiring after a while.  Well, I hope it all goes well for you.  All you can do is hope for the best.

Oh, that's a good idea!  You're right, they always seem to rush into things without thinking.  It'd be good for them to have a strategist on their team.  ...At least, it will be if they actually pay attention to what he's saying.  I can see Vector trying to brush him off from time to time, only to find himself stuck, then turning to Kurt, looking for a plan.  Something tells me he and Espio will get along quite well though.

I would imagine so.  There's no way they've gone through this without losing a few people on the way.  Tiffany would feel for her, and they'd probably become decently good friends :)

I think so too.  Not that I'll turn down every invitation to go out, but on most occasions, I would rather be comfy at home than out doing something,

The main problem was that there wasn't really a sense of closure.  If they hadn't used that scene with Shadow at the end, it would have been fine to end the show, but they just kept us hanging, so it didn't work.  I can agree with you that the English version may have been the reason the show died so quickly though.

Hehe, I'm the 1% at my store that actually likes my boss most of the time.  Sometimes my coworkers like him, but most of the time, they think he's a jerk.  I guess he's just extra friendly toward me, because I don't see that part of him.  I honestly think that some people need someone to direct their frustration at.  so they look for every reason to dislike their supervisors.  That's what it seems like at my store, anyway.  For me, I want to make the best of the situation.  I don't know how long I'm going to be stuck with the people in my store, so I'm friendly toward all of my coworkers and supervisors so there's no drama.
.
Yeah, his fighting style alone will be enough to differentiate their powers.  The simple fact that he actually thinks before he attacks is what makes his fighting style so unique in comparison to Knuckles and Sonic.  Sonic's not the type to plan ahead, and Knuckles is too hot-headed to stop and think for the most part.

Tiffany would try to do the same for him.  She tends to look for the good in people, and she would definitely have uplifting things to say about Ekyt.  Yeah, I think making it a gradual thing would be for the best. Tiffany would start off telling Ekyt some of her story, but she would leave out certain details.  I don't want her to steal the spotlight during this scene, so it'd be better to bring the rest of her story back to attention at a later time.  Having to admit that she killed so many people on the ARK would not be easy for her, so she wouldn't bring it up at a time like this.   I could see the guilt she's going through becoming too much for her at some point though.  She would most likely pull Ekyt aside to talk about it, since he's the only person she feels she can trust.

I know; It can be overwhelming.  Technically, you can take whatever classes you want... you just won't get a degree out of it if you do it that way.  Definitely the most painful thing about going to college is seeing the hole in your wallet afterward.  That's why I can't bring myself to get my bachelor's degree.

:)
Cool!  That'll come together nicely.  btw, what role is Kurt going to play in the chaotix?  Just curious :)

Yeah, I can see them earning each-other's respect.  The word "Princess" virtually has no meaning to Tiffany, so she wouldn't treat her any different than she treats the others. Her respect for Sally would come from seeing how hard she works, and that she genuinely wants to protect everyone.

I hear ya.  My family always tries to tell me that I'm wasting my life by not going out and doing stuff.  I would much rather sit down and play a video game or watch videos on Youtube than go anywhere.  I'm fine with doing stuff, but I don't want to go by myself, and my friends are all busy when I have time off.  I don't think we can communicate our personality types to people, NG.  It's like they can't understand how someone can prefer to stay home rather than go out drinking or partying!

Yeah, that was the least threatening version of Eggman yet.  It was very disappointing.  At first I couldn't get into the space arc, but curiosity got to me after a while.  I kind of appreciate how threatening that alien group wound up being, and that they were actually intelligent creatures.  But I hate how the finale keeps you hanging.  If you didn't see it, Sonic and Shadow had to destroy a planet egg, but at the last second, Shadow punches Sonic in the stomach and sends him back to the others before taking off his inhibitor rings and destroying it himself... disappearing completely afterward...  Yep, that's how they left it.  It switches back to Sonic and the others, and the fact that they had to kill Cosmo completely overshadowed Shadow's possible death.  ...I hate that show sometimes >.>
Alright, I'll look into it.  It sounds entertaining :)

Yeah, it is.  She sounds pretty annoying.

I'm not saying my supervisor is decent.  He likes me, so I can pretty much do and request anything I want.  If you asked my coworkers, most of them would call him an unkind name.  ,,,He has his good moments and bad moments.   Ugh, I hate it when supervisors do that.  You would think they would understand the meaning of availability.  I'm grateful that most of my bosses never did that unless it was an emergency.
That's cool!  Lucky her, that will definitely look good on her resume.

I see.  In the case of this being a story about our OCs, I don't think you'll have to worry about him overshadowing the others.  I think everyone will get their time to shine in this story, and there's nothing wrong with bringing attention to your characters :)  But I see what you're saying.  You want to make Ekyt more of a strategist and let Knuckles be the one that just rushes into the fray without thinking.  That would make sense.  It is sad to see someone work so hard to reach a goal that seems impossibly out of range for them, so I can see him getting pitied for that.

I think so too :)  I just hope I can translate it well into writing.  Ah, I see!  So their pasts would just be shown through them simply telling it to each other.  I can see that.  I don't think Tiffany would just start talking about her past though, especially if Ekyt needed someone to talk to about his.  She wouldn't feel like it's appropriate to bring it up unless he urged her to.  But she would definitely be more willing to talk about it after Ekyt shows that he trusts her enough to talk about his own.
Hehe, yeah, they do get mixed up with non-hyphenated names, so you don't notice them that much until you see them in a list.  I like Lia-Na.  I think that will work just fine :)

Either that or she passed her computer class by the skin of her teeth.
Never taken accounting, and hopefully never will, especially if it's anything like Stats.  ugh.  Anyway.  Good luck to you, you'll definitely need it.

Yep, it's all too true.  I'm just glad there are still a handful of gentlemen out there.  Guys like yourself can be pretty hard to find.
I'm glad you agree.  They really do seem like they're going to get along well.  It's cool how alike Tiffany and Ekyt are.
Hmm... both sound interesting.  On one hand, it would be a really good learning experience for Ekyt to attempt to save his life, but on the other hand, having a chaos syphon involved would be awesome too...  I would say have Ekyt save him, that way they can still be involved with each other, despite us taking out the adoption thing.  That's what I would do,anyway.

Yeah, that would work out well :)  Good thinking!  That could definitely be an interesting encounter too.

Yep, same here.  I'm always afraid my quirks will scare people off.  My personality can be a little bit overbearing.  I'm usually either very quiet and introverted, or very loud and obnoxious.  There is no in-between for me; at least not that I've noticed.  Not to mention I can become obsessive over a video game or story.  I think before I start dating, I want to experience living by myself.  Right now, I'm living with my parents, who are being generous enough not to charge me rent at least until I pay off my schooling.  I just want to know what it's like living alone.

Ugh, I know!  Chris was the most annoying human character I've ever seen!  I liked Uncle Chuck(even if they did totally steal that name from the comics/cartoons), and even Mr. Tanaka a little, but every fiber of my being hated Chris!
NCIS is by far my favorite show.  And strangely enough, Tony is my favorite character.  Him and Zeva, anyway.  I'm so sad she left the show!  Hehe, the Janitor in Scrubs is hilarious!  I've never seen The Middle, but if it's funny, I'll look into it.  I'm always tracking down comedy shows.

Exactly.  Though, to be fair on her side.  Cream is only six, so I guess we can't expect that much from her.  She needs to grow up.

Yeah, I consider myself fortunate for being "transferred".  Since Prepack is a part of the Meat and Seafood department, all I had to do was ask my supervisor to let me shift responsibilities.  Thankfully, he likes me, so he was fine with it.  Sorry it didn't work out for you at the museum though.  Paperwork sounds like a more active job than just being a socializer.  It's cool that your friend started an internship there too.  What's he doing there exactly?

I always felt like it was the only way to describe Ekyt.  He's a fighter.  Somehow I've always seen Ekyt being more involved in the action rather than being behind the scenes.  That's how you've always portrayed him, anyway.  It'd be an interesting shift.  I know, I like to make characters who are pitied by others too.  You seem to pull it off especially well with Ekyt.  I'm sure the situations we put him in will make everyone somewhat worried about him.  

I think with Tiffany, I want most of the characters to be unsure of whether they should feel bad for her or not.  Since she doesn't give much away about herself, most of them wouldn't know what to think, and most of them probably wouldn't trust her at all.  Narrating the story that way?  Like, the whole story, or just when they're explaining their pasts to each other? Sorry, I just want to be clear.  I really like the idea of Tiffany and Ekyt getting along so well.  I can see a real brother-sister relationship forming there, and it would bring them to rely on each other a lot.  I feel like they would understand each other in a way no one else really could because of what they've gone through; it'd be really sweet.
Well, going back to how little I know, I looked up a bit about the family you mentioned, and it looks interesting!  For the sake of not sounding like an idiot when writing about her, I'll either avoid bringing her in until I know enough about them, or have her be unaware of her family's lineage.  Also, for the sake of tradition, I should probably change her name to Li-Ana, or Ana-Li; since every female echidna's name seems to be spelled like that... how did I not know this!?!?

Oh geez, that's awful!  I hate it when teachers are like that!  Well I hope you at least walked away from that class with something.  It really blows my mind when people try to learn how to use a program without having even the most basic knowledge on how to use a computer.  Wouldn't it be better if they just took a basic computer class rather than a complicated Adobe class?  I just don't get it.
Ohhh, well if that's the case, you really should take Statistics again.  I know you struggled with it the first time, but if you need it eventually, you might just want to get it out of the way now; even if you don't plan on getting your business degree until later.

Hey, that's a really good personality trait to have :)  Girls look for guys like that.  It means that they can get all cuddly and not feel like they're overwhelming you.  I love the idea of a couple taking on the world together.  That's the way it should be.  But it seems a lot of people forget that.
Hehe; I wanted to say it wouldn't be that big of a transition, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that's not the case.  She's not used to affection, so going from a "Don't touch" character to a "somewhat cuddly" character would be a huge transition.  Most likely it'd start after she and Ekyt talk.  That would make the most sense in my mind.  Then she would start to open up more once she meets Kurt and starts getting to know him.
Yeah, I was wondering how we were going to pull him in.  I figured that, after some time, we would just do a time lapse and bring him in later; but I really like the idea of him being a member of the Chaotix.  You're right; he would fit right in!  How do you plan on turning him into a living chaos emerald again though?

That's what I was thinking, honestly.  I think making her a night watch of sorts would be the best role from her.  I figure her senses and instincts would be honed well enough that when she needs to sleep, she'll be able to sense danger.  Most likely she wouldn't sleep until the sun starts to come up though, just to be safe  I'm not sure how much rest an Ultimate Life Form needs, but I'd imagine she and Shadow wouldn't need as much as anyone else, so I figure 2-3 hours would be plenty for her.  ... wow I'm detail oriented... sorry about that.

I did reply to your PM, by the way.

I'm right there with ya.  I want to make sure I've reached a certain level of maturity before I start to include someone else in my life.  There's no point in dating before you're ready.
I'm not actually into cartoon shows all that much.  But I usually prefer an animated movie to a live action movie.  I know about Psych, though I don't care for it, but I've never heard of the other two.  The shows I watch are NCIS, Scrubs, The Office, and occasionally, Once Upon a Time.  For animated shows; Family Guy, Phineas and Ferb, and Regular Show.  Sometimes I'll even go back and watch Sonic X... Japanese, not English.  The English version was awful!
I wouldn't say that guys are the only ones that are "sex obsessed".  Girls can be too.  Strangely enough, my best friend makes the most perverted jokes out of anyone I know.  In reality, she's super shy around people, but when she and I are hanging out on our own, she becomes a whole other person.  It's hilarious!  I'm cool with it too, because we usually get a good laugh out of it.  But anyway.  You're not boring, NG, it's wise to be financially prepared.  Most divorces happen because of financial issues, so I don't blame you one bit.

I have three workbooks and a dictionary, so I think I'm all right.  ...I just need to remember where I put them  >_<'

Yeah, Cream is very obnoxious.  I think it's because she doesn't have any real purpose.  She's just there.  If she wasn't so innocent and actually tried to be helpful, then I wouldn't mind her nearly as much.  I hate useless characters!

Hehe, I know how that goes.  Thinking about it, I would go stir crazy with your job!  Before I was stocking shelves, I worked in the Seafood dept.  When I ran out of stuff to do, I would have to stand by the counter and try to convince people to buy something just to keep me occupied.  I was way too active for that department.  I kept trying to run off and do chores for meat and packaged meat; which left the service case unmanned.  So when the packaged meat guy quit (he didn't like our boss), I asked to have his job so that I could be consistently active.  Worked out pretty well in my opinion.

I never took Ekyt for being a rebel.  He just seemed to be a fighter to me.  And he earned a lot of respect from the others.  I can see how trying to balance out his character can be difficult though.  It can be difficult to make make a serious, block-headed character come off as nice.  Though I thought you had it down pretty well in your stories.

I think it's the first time I've brought up the secrecy of her story to you, so you're good.  I just figure it wouldn't be wise of her to share too much about herself to begin with.  I like stories like that too, so it's fun to incorporate it into my own characters' stories.  Tiffany's backstory is pretty dark, so what will probably have to happen is someone will have to get close enough to her that she's willing to talk about it with them.  Either that, or Shadow would push her to tell at least one of them the truth.  He knows that she is potentially dangerous, so he would warn her that if they truly are her friends, then she shouldn't hide what she is from them.
I agree!  I like seeing a character change over time.  Yeah, I want Liana to be a reliable character.  She's not a fighter, but she'll do what she can to help.   She's very approachable, so yeah, Ekyt could easily talk to her about Linda-Su.  She enjoys listening to people, so she'd be happy to help him sort out his feelings.  It occurs to me, I need to decide how to bring her in.  You know the echidna lineage better than I do.  Would there be a family she could fit well into?   Maybe I just won't go into details about her family and just keep her identity a bit of a mystery.

I kept my book from my photoshop class. It was really fun to learn how to use layers and masks and stuff.  Not to mention it was incredibly useful.  If you have the chance, you should try to take a college course on it.  If you're having trouble remembering how to do stuff, you should just write down the steps in a notepad or on sticky notes so you can just come back to them when you need to remember something.
Hehe, I take it math isn't your thing.  I get why there is so much to statistics, but it can be a bit of a headache.  I don't like finding out the odds of a pair of dice landing on a six and a one four times in a row.  Yeah, it doesn't help if your professor isn't very helpful.  General Math is a wise choice.  The only reason I didn't take it was because my councilor told me I wouldn't learn anything new from that class.  I shouldn't have listened to her.

That'd be cute :)  I like how you're willing to get into the mushy romantic stuff once in a while, NG.  Most guys I know don't seem into that.  You just make Ekyt and Linda-Su so adorable!  ... I think I'm gonna have to soften Tiffany up a bit later on so Kurt can be more romantic with her if he wants to be.
Hmm... I haven't actually thought about Tiffany's living situation.  I don't really see her settling down in a house or anything quite yet.  She's more of the type to just take a nap in a tree, rather than curl up in a warm bed.  Besides, she's trying to avoid GUN, so she wouldn't want to go back to the same place all the time.  

Cool, I replied to it.

Maybe, maybe not. On one hand, she is working around a lot of sick people, but on the other hand, she probably has really good health benefits and knows how to help cure illnesses better than anyone.  Just saying, dating a nurse wouldn't be that bad imho.
That sure is what it seems like.  I never watched sitcoms as a kid though, so that never wore off on me.  I always was(and still am) into cartoons more than sitcoms.  That may have been for the better.  The idea of fitting in never appealed to me.  Especially when it comes to sex.  Honestly, I see where you're coming from.  I get super awkward when people around me start talking about who they had sex with, and I usually change the subject.  It's just weird how open some people are about it.  Thankfully, my friend isn't THAT into it.  He'll make innuendos once in a while, but not very often.

I learn better from writing things down.  So I'll probably use one anyway for my own practice.

Yeah, I think so.  Though Sonic X got its own spin-off comic.  I don't mind Cream's presence, I just wish they didn't focus on her nearly as much.  She's not that important.
Well that's good then.  Half the reason I don't like talking to customers is because I'm afraid they're going to be rude or mean.  It's so nice when people are openly friendly like that!  I'm not surprised you ran into so many friendly people there.  People usually go to museums for fun, so they're already in a good mood when they get there :)  Then there are those people that are determined to put you in a better mood, like you said.  They're hilarious, but can be really annoying.  I'm a busy body at work, so if someone starts trying to get me to chat while I'm working, I tend to get aggravated.

That's an amusing way to put it.  But I see what you're saying.  That's one of the more interesting personalities to work with.  It'll be cool to see how it plays out :)

thanks, but I don't think I'll use it for the beginning.  I really want to emphasize how sparingly she relies on that power, so it would need to be a really serious situation for her to use it.  Besides, she won't want to give too much about herself away in the beginning.  Sure, it'll be obvious by appearance that she's related to Shadow. but she'd probably avoid talking about herself too much.  Especially when it comes down to details about her being an unfinished prototype.  Mainly, she'll doesn't want to make anyone afraid of her.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.  Maybe I'll have her start off as a quiet, shy character, and slowly develop her into a more interesting and cool character.  Meeting so many people during her travels will be really helpful too.  She'll hear other people's stories, which will lead her to look for ways to be more helpful to those around her.  Well, once you get past the shy part, yes, she's willing to be friends with almost anyone.  She loves to listen to people, so she enjoys having lots of friends.

I know!  Titles are so misleading in college!  I needed an extra art-based course in order to get a degree, so I thought I would just take a Photoshop class.  Nope.  Didn't count. Even though it was a digital art course!  Though I am glad I took that class.  I learned so much!  I just barely passed statistics.  That class was awful!  Calculus would be even worse.  You should probably just take that general math course.  It would be the easiest out of your options; unless you feel like you could do better your second time around on Statistics.

I can see that :)  It'd be perfect for him and his abilites.  Good thinking!

What the...?  I'm so sorry NG!  I replied the other day, but it didn't go through!  I noticed it this morning, but didn't have time to repost it, so sorry it took so long.

Wow, that's a coincidence isn't it :)  But it was probably wise of you not to ask her out in that situation.  Though you could always try going back and asking her out without your dad being around... as long as you don't make it creepy, anyway.
Nah, he's the type of guy that can get any girl he wants, so I don't think I could sway him too much..  He's cute and fun, but I don't think we could ever be more than friends.  I'm okay with that.

Sweet!  Thanks for helping me out on this :D  I don't have a Japanese font installed, but I can get one.

I think at the time they were trying to keep up with the games, so they introduced the characters in their "game segments".  Such as Sonic Heroes, where both Cream and Big were supposed to be there for the story.  Granted, the comic would be just fine without them, but I can at least see what they were trying to do.  As far as Marine goes... I get way too much amusement out of watching Shadow slap her in the face with a towel...  if there was one reason I was happy she showed up in the comics, that would be it.

Agreed.  I don't feel satisfied with having money unless I know I earned it myself.

That sounds nice!  The constant change of scenery must have been so refreshing!  Honestly, I couldn't handle being moved around with my job because I am ridiculously OCD when it comes to organization; but a job like yours would be very easy and fun to move around in :)
Your job sounds relaxing.  But I don't think I could do it.  I don't like people enough to be friendly toward everyone.  I think I'm happier organizing boxes in a cooler than I could ever be standing around talking to customers.  It's cool that you enjoyed it though :)  It's especially cool that you keep in touch with your old coworkers too.  When I worked at KFC(worst job ever), every Friday we'd go bowling after work.  It was awesome!  I miss those guys sometimes :)

Haha, you should just draw it for the satisfaction of it :)

I'm not sure I would label Ekyt a "typical teenage boy"  And by that I mean, he doesn't eat all the time, and he doesn't seem to get a kick out of doing something just because it is potentially dangerous. I'm stereotyping a bit here, I know, but I had friends like that when I was a teenager... my friends were idiots.  Anyway, back on topic.  From what I've read, I've always interpreted Ekyt as being mature in most situations.  And that's a good thing; especially when it comes to love.  :)

Thanks!  It was one of my ways of making her different from Shadow.  And since she's a prototype, it would only make sense for her to have a couple of "failed" powers that were not passed on to Shadow.  Such as the force field ability I gave her.  She can make a really powerful force field, but it drains her stamina fast.  Even using it for a few seconds can bring her to her knees.  Though, it could come in useful if someone's life is in danger or something.  But for the most part, she'd have to avoid using it.
That was my main fear, actually.  I didn't want to make her too much like Cream or Tikal, but I needed her to be gentle and kind in context of my story.  I can probably change her personality up a little bit now though.  I was actually thinking about making her a nurse, but I like your idea better.  It will give her more purpose in the story.  She'll still be proficient in the medical field though, so she can help people who need it when she encounters them.  I don't want her to be a burden, so she'll be able to defend herself.  She won't be very strong, but she'll know how to get herself and others to safety.

Yeah, I'm not sure how college used to be, but I imagine it was more like what an internship is now.  You would work directly with someone that was a professional in a certain field, and they would teach you exactly what you needed to know, without adding a bunch of useless junk you'd never think about again.


As for your idea.  That's actually a really cool power to have!  It's really unique, and it would come in handy in so many situations.  I say, go for it :)

I like the idea of his home being off on its own in a hidden place.  That seems like the type of place Ekyt would live.  And it seems like it would be very pretty.  The type of place he could go and just relax.  Good idea!

Yeah, It's too bad the opportunity never came up for you.  It's nice to meet someone who has some things in common with you.  But I know where you're coming from.  It takes a lot for a guy to get my attention too.  I can only think of one person that actually caught my eye.  I used to work with him, and we still hang out from time to time.  He's a social butterfly and doesn't feel complete unless he's out doing something every day of the week.  His activeness rubs off on me and gets me out of the house more often; which is good.  Unfortunately, he doesn't share the same views on sex as I do, so I won't ask him out.  It's too bad too, because he had a lot going for him.
Exactly.  That's what sex should be; the ultimate sign of trust.  Not something to do just because it's fun.

Oh, could you?  That'd be great!  Mainly what I need is someone I can practice having conversations with in Japanese.  That would be incredibly helpful to me :)  I understand sentence structure for the most part, there are just times where I get confused.
That seems to be happening quite a bit, actually.  Community colleges try to offer Japanese, but then discontinue the course.  I think my school stopped offering it too right after I finished my class.  I guess the professor couldn't get enough students to take the course.  

You're right.  I think it gets tiring having tons of new characters pop up.  I'd rather see the older characters be developed more rather than trying to fill space by making tons of useless characters.

I was in the same situation originally.  I was planning on leaving my first job, but my boss asked me to stay a while longer.  The second job didn't work out, so it was good that I stayed.  Yeah, it was dumb of me to try to keep both jobs though.  My health definitely did not benefit from it.  I'm never going to let my life get that busy again.

I'm not sure how different the jobs are at a museum, but I think I can understand why there wouldn't be very much cross training.  It seems like the type of place where the jobs are usually pretty specific.  At my store you're either stocking shelves, cashiering, unloading a truck, or running a service counter.  So there isn't much variety.  Cross training happens a lot.  They usually call people from other departments up to the front to run a cash register on a daily basis.  They're not allowed to with my department, luckily.
So was that your job then?  Or was that just something you were doing to help out?  It sounds more interesting than mindlessly putting boxes on a shelf for hours on end.

Pfft, oh dear.  yeah, THAT would be weird XD  Ah, you make me laugh, NG

I figured as much.  It just seemed that in that situation they would be very alike.  It's cute how neither of them want attention.

I always appreciate input :)  I already have Tiffany's powers sorted out, I wasn't worried about that.  It's more of her personality that I've been having trouble with.  I wanted her to be interesting without outshining her brother.  But I think I may have sorted out her personality a bit more now.  I thought about it a lot while I was working last night, and think my idea's becoming clearer.  So yeah, back to writing.  I like your suggestion on having her powers compliment Shadow's, but since she's a prototype, it wouldn't really work.  She was supposed to be used to simply test DNA samples before they were used on Shadow, so their powers are virtually identical.  I gave Tiffany a couple extra "glitchy" powers,  Those powers have massive drawbacks, so she can barely use them at all.
I'm actually thinking about bringing another character in later.  I created her originally as a test subject on the ARK, but I decided against using that idea.  However, I still like her design a lot, so I want to re-purpose her.  Her name's Liana  She's a light brown echidna with white tips on her quills.  She's quiet and shy, dislikes violence, and has a longing to help people.  She was originally going to be Tiffany's best friend, and was actually going to be the character that I mentioned before who was supposed to die.  I think I'll still make her and Tiffany close friends.  Though aside from that, I don't know what I'm going to use her for.  If you have any suggestions, I'd welcome them :)

Yep.  That's how it is, unfortunately.  If you want a degree, you have to take a ton of unnecessary classes to get it.  College is stupid >:(

Aw, that's cute NG :)  I would say she probably wasn't the one for you, since the right opportunity never opened up for you to tell her how you felt.  Give it some time, there are a LOT of fish in the sea.  I'm totally with you on the sanctity of marriage.  I don't get why it's cool to have sex whenever you feel like it with whomever you want.  It just takes away some of the importance of marriage for me.

Yikes!  I would drop out too if my bill was that big.  It's really cool that she was willing to tutor you though.  It seems like it worked out very nicely for you :)  I was fortunate that my class only cost about $350; but I attend a community college, so all classes there are cheap.  If I had the time and money I would hire a tutor to help me learn; but I'm saving up to pay off my student loan right now, so I can't afford it.  But it's fine, I enjoy learning it on my own anyway.  I already know how to pronounce everything, I just need to work on sentence structure and learning new words.

Geez, I had no idea any of this was going on.  I haven't followed anything archie's done recently; so it's all news to me.  I think it's time for their editor to retire though.  90 years, geez.  I wouldn't want to work into my nineties.  And it seriously doesn't help that they're trying to tale control of someone else's characters.  That's not cool.  If he created them, he should have a say in what's being done with them.  Ugh, there's a reason I don't want to work for someone as an artist.  There's always going to be that pesky copyright issue.  "You created them, but you made them for our use, so it's ours, not yours"  I hate that argument.

Two jobs and one was third shift!?  Are you insane!?  Oh my gosh, I couldn't imagine trying to live on that schedule.  I do not envy you.  I suppose I can't complain much about my sleeping schedule because at the time, I wasn't attending classes, and that was my only job.  It was just a pain the way they wanted to go about doing it.  I actually confronted my manager about it; trying to get her to let me just work one whole week of third shift.  But she didn't let me, because she still wanted me to do my regular job most days of the week.  So, my sleep suffered rather than my work.  I swear, if they try to make me do that again this summer....  Anyway; rant aside.  I suppose we all have our ambitious moments from time to time.  At one point I did try to work two jobs while attending high school.  Big mistake.  Luckily, my second job wasn't able to provide me with many(if any) hours; so I just wound up quitting.

Oh, that would make sense.  It's still weird though.
Hehe, I know, I'm not really responsible for cleaning; that's the janitor's job.  I'm in charge of stocking, organizing, and maintaining packaged meat.  On slow days, I usually wind up counting everything on my carts and hunting for close-dated product to mark down to a cheaper price.  I hate mark downs; but they're time consuming and give me something to do, so I can't complain.  Honestly, if I could, I would go help out some of the other departments in our store; but because I work in meat, I'm not allowed to.  Weird union stuff gets in the way of that.

I think what you did with him works.  It balances out well, and he doesn't look like some weird freaky mutant or anything.  I think you got just the right amount of human-like features, if you add any more, he may start looking kinda silly.
Oh wow, I didn't even think about how weird it would be for Ekyt when he has to switch from wearing clothes all the time to being naked most of the time  That's a hilarious scenario!  Considering he has fur.  I think that wearing regular clothes would automatically make him feel like he was wearing two layers of clothing.  The heat would be unbearable in most situations.  Especially when he's fighting.  Good call on just having him clothed during formal occasions.

You give me too much credit, NG.  I'm not sure how "capable" a girl who never wears a dress unless she absolutely has to is, but thanks for the confidence :)  I should be able to come up with something half-way decent.  Actually; as far as colors go, white is fine, as long as the dress isn't too fancy, or is complimented with another color or highlight. Black is worn by women for many occasions, not just funerals.  It all just depends on the style of the dress.  I completely agree with you on one thing though.  Pink is a no go for her.  I also think I'll stay away from black in the design, mainly because it would be too big of a contrast with her fur color.  I could see her wearing white or maybe tan with emerald highlights.  I'll play with some other colors a bit though.
I could see that happening very well.  It's so funny that they're so much alike when it comes to that situation, but neither of them really notices the other.  It's cute!

Ah, I don't mind.  You have more to talk about than I do.  Honestly, there isn't much to discuss with Tiffany.  That and I'm still trying to flesh her out.  I don't know why, but I'm having the hardest time just trying to flesh her out in my own mind.  I don't know, I may just be over-thinking it.  I think it's just hard to know what to do with her because I don't want her to overshadow her brother.  I don't like making OCs that steal attention away from main characters too much, and since I made Tiffany Shadow's sister, I have to tread lightly,,, or I feel like I have to, anyway.  I'm starting to think I shouldn't even worry about it, because; in retrospect, Shadow is a brick wall.  So trying to make Tiffany even more so just isn't going to work. Geez, listen to me ramble.  To heck with it!  This is a story mostly about our OCs, so I should just let her take the spotlight for a little bit.  I develop characters better when I can focus on them alone anyway, and this first chapter should be the perfect opportunity for me to do something awesome with her!  ...Now I just need to stop being so indecisive.
Anyway, just so you know, I haven't been neglecting the story, I'm writing it, it's just moving along very slowly.  Again, because I'm indecisive.  Sorry it's taking so long.  Like I said, I haven't written anything for anyone else to read in a long time, so I just want what I wright to be decent before I post it.

I'm like that too.  I want what I learn to be useful immediately.  And unfortunately, as an artist, that doesn't always work.  It takes patience to become good, and that's just something I don't have when I need it.  But yeah, we are way too overeducated.  I just want to take what I can use and use it.  Not take what universities say I need and then only wind up using a handful of that knowledge.

Of course!  I don't mind making drawings for you at all :)

Nah, it's not wishful thinking or anything..  You will know the right girl when you find her.  I don't really believe in love at first sight or anything, but I do believe that every person has a soul mate and that they will encounter them at some point or other.

You have a tutor?  Lucky. I've never been able to afford one but I did take a Japanese language course in college.  I don't know why, but when I'm stuck in a classroom with a bunch of other people, I completely lose interest in the subject; so I didn't do so well in that class.  Though my professor said that I spoke it very well (I pronounced everything correctly, and didn't stutter).  That alone motivated me to keep learning it outside of class

Aw, really?  That's upsetting.  What's been going on with Archie?  I don't really follow their internal affairs; so I had no idea what they've been doing.  And geez, what on Earth caused them to sue each other?

That's not good.  Yeah, third shift can really screw you up, and it certainly doesn't help that you were around when maintenance was being done.  I don't quite work third shift; I usually work from about 4:30-1:00 AM.  I like it that way because I'm naturally a night owl.  Though I'm not night owl enough to fully work 3rd shift.  There were a couple weeks last summer where my manager had me work third one day a week in order to do some cleaning.  It was awful; but mostly because I constantly had to change my sleeping schedule around.  I never want to do that again!  I don't envy that situation for you.  Since the store I work at is corporate owned, my paycheck doesn't come out of anyone else's pocket.  I would feel really weird if I knew my paycheck was coming out of my coworkers' paychecks.

.... the fire was in the fish tank?   ... What?  How?  That has to be the most obscure thing I've ever heard.  I'm glad to hear no one got hurt.  How big did the fire get anyway?  Did it just stay in one section of the building, or did it spread?  I've never been in or near a building that was on fire; thankfully.  And I'm really happy I haven't.  It sounds scary.
Heck yeah!  It felt weird too, because once everything was covered, we couldn't do anything until the truck got there.  So we were literally being paid to sit around and wait for a truck.  I usually feel guilty for not working when I'm being paid, but there was really nothing else we could do because the entire store was pitch black.

Haha, it's not weird to think about this stuff.  I still play with Tiffany's design from time to time; mainly her clothes.  I wouldn't make him look too human, because, honestly, that could get weird.  But I can see him being a bit taller than Knuckles.  I'm not surprised Knuckles isn't fully grown though, he's only 16 or something like that.  As far as clothing goes for Ekyt.  I could see him wearing a jacket or something, but I think full clothing  would be a bit overkill.  Just my opinion.  You could find a way to make full clothing work.

Green might be a little too informal for the occasion.  But her dress can have green highlights.  Highlights can actually bring out eye color more than a solid color does.  The dress idea you picked out is really nice, and I can work with it.  I'll make a couple designs and play with the colors.  I'll email them to you when I have a few designs down.
Hehe, it'll be cute to see Ekyt in a bowtie.  It's just so unlike him, it's adorable :)  Especially since he doesn't even want to be there.

Very true.  Martial arts are good; but in the Sonic universe, you need a little more punch; so that works out perfectly!  Yeah, that'll be easy to implement into the story.  It'll be cool that Ekyt's wish is actually granted :)

That's how I feel.  I actually feel like we're over educated, and the odds of us getting a job that we want is incredibly low, since there are tons of other people out there trying to do the same thing.  I would rather just learn everything at home on the internet where it's free; rather than putting myself in debt for the rest of my life.  I'm glad I got my associates though.  I'm happy with what I've learned, and now it's time for me to hone my skills into what I want to do.

Finally got it sent!  Sorry that took so long.

It's cool that they're considerate of you :)  I find that a lot of people are; actually.  When I tell someone that I want to wait until marriage before I have sex; they usually respond by saying they wished they had waited.  It feels reassuring to me that I'm making the right decision
Haha!  Nice!  That's cool that you can speak Japanese so well :)  I studied it independently for a couple years in middle school and high school.  But I didn't have an instructor or anything to help me practice.  My friends were really cool about it though!  A couple of them would steal my Japanese notebook and would tell me to say words in Japanese without looking.  It was awesome!  That being said, I couldn't survive in Japan.  I don't know enough to ask people questions.  But it was still fun to study.  Maybe I'll go back to studying it sometime.

Yeah, It does seem like more rude people are popping up everywhere.  There's a reason I work semi-third shift.  There aren't as many people at night.

Oh my gosh!  That's a bit scary, but kinda cool!  It's neat how you all mutually worked together to make sure the kids still had a good time :)  It's too bad the fire happened, but I'm glad it all worked out.  Besides, it sounds like a nice change in pace from the usual routine.  At my store, we had three power outages this year; and every time that happens, we have to cover everything that's perishable.  One time we had a really bad storm that shut down all electricity in at least three towns.  We had to get a refrigerated truck in to put all of our perishable products in.  We wound up being the only store in the area that didn't have to throw everything away (Even Wal-mart had to pitch their perishable products).  It was a lot of work; but it was so much fun!  We camped out in the store and ordered pizza from the closest open pizza hut.  I think I enjoyed those two days way too much.

Yeah, it definitely works!  I think you're design is perfect for him :)  I like the new tribal look too.  It's very fitting since he's a guardian

I can make a few designs for Linda-Su's clothing and send them to you.  Will she be the one picking them out, or would the other girls kinda "doll-her-up" for the event?  This matters, because the way I see it is that if Linda-Su picked her dress, it would be something easy to walk in, probably about knee-length. and definitely something that wouldn't catch people's attention.  However, if she's being dolled up, she'd most likely be stuck in a longer dress that makes her the center of attention.  I'll make designs for both, just let me know which you prefer.

I didn't know that either.  How cool!
Very neat idea.  Using chaos energy to make up for being weaker is a great way to balance his strength out :)  I can already picture those battle scenes!

If that's what you want to call it.  I don't know if an associates degree really counts as "finishing" school, but thanks anyway :)

Phew!  What a busy weekend!  As fun as Anime Central was; It's nice to be home again.  Sorry I didn't reply yesterday, I was kinda exhausted so I just wound up collapsing in bed and playing video games.

It's so good to find out you're not the only one.  Seriously!  There would be way less drama in the world if everyone understood this concept.  Unfortunately, society isn't very accepting of those who haven't gotten laid before a certain age.  It's so dumb. I don't like the idea of having to prove myself to my friends by having a boyfriend or formerly having one.  So I made friends who are on the same page with me :)  I was fortunate enough to find a handful of people like myself where I live.

Wow!  That's awesome!  I see why you loved that job so much!  You're old bosses sound awesome too!  Knowing all the nooks and crannies helps too :)  There's nothing like knowing how to escape from people.  Sometimes customers can just be overwhelming.  My store has a long storage hallway that stretches across the entire back of the store, and the meat cooler door is connected to it.  So if I want to do something without being stopped by customers, I can just take the hallway to the other end.  We also have a truck dock where we can leave the doors open on nice days.  Sometimes my coworkers and I will go take a breather back there.  And the best part is that the doors are facing west, and we can watch the sunset in the evening.  It's so nice!

Sounds good :)

Yeah, I like what you did with him.  I think it all balances out pretty well   His design isn't overwhelming, and he still has that "Ekyt" vibe to him;  I made a quick sketch of him where I tried to implement the idea of your design.  I'll email it to you when I can get it uploaded.  My computer is giving me trouble right now, but I should be able to put it up shortly.  Have to say, he's fun to draw.  And I really enjoy his design :)

Aww, it'll be cute to see Ekyt confront Linda-Su about it :D  His shyness is really adorable, and it'll be cool to see how the situation plays out!  I agree, it would be cool if we had this in real life.  Heaven knows we could use it.
I find it entertaining how neither of them is interested in this ceremony.  Especially Linda-Su since it's all for her.  It's cool how you're taking your time with having them meet too.  I like the idea that they never get the chance to actually speak when they're there.  It kinda adds an aspect of mystery to the scene!
I figured as much.  The way you described him made it seem like he wouldn't be as physically strong and would be more speed or acrobatic based (Smaller hands and longer legs, respectively)  Anyway, interesting concept; can't wait to see how it plays out! :)

Aw, thanks NG :)  I appreciate it!   Not sure what I'm going to do with it, but, hey, a degree is a degree.

Take your time.  I enjoy reading your stories, so I know your worth the wait.  After all, I'm taking forever and a day to even post something here these days.  So don't worry.

Hehe, it's no problem :)  Oh, I nearly forgot, I need to apologize in advance.  I'm going to be out of town for the next couple of days, and sadly, away from my computer(yeah, I have a desktop), So I may not be able to talk again until Sunday.  Just a heads up so you don't think I'm ignoring you.

Exactly!  Why suffer the heartache when you don't have to?  When I think of having a relationship, I'm thinking of a life long one.  I don't want someone that just likes me for now, but expects our relationship to end eventually so he can move on to someone else.  I see no appeal in that type of relationship.  And you're right.  A person who works hard is more likely than not to work hard on keeping their relationship.  Good thing to keep in mind :)

Yeah... thankfully when my job becomes too overwhelming, I can go hide in the cooler (I work in meat dept.) and organize boxes for an hour or so.  That tends to cool me off after a rough encounter.
Wow, I couldn't do that job.  I'm not particularly fond of children.  Not to say I dislike them, I'm just not great with kids,  It's cool that you enjoyed it for the most part; aside from getting sick, anyway.  It's cool when a job is worth missing.  I hope I get a job I fall in love with eventually.  For now, stocking shelves, organizing boxes, and answering stupid questions... yay...

Yep, It sure will!   Which reminds me, how are we going to write this when we get further into the story?  Are we going to switch off chapter by chapter, or do we want it to be more like a role play?

I know, right?  There's so much to enjoy!
Heheh,  It kind of occurred to me about five minutes after I posted that last comment how dumb it was for me to say Ekyt looked too much like Knuckles because honestly, nearly every male echidna looks almost identical to him. lol.
So, that being said.  I like both designs.  Whichever one you think suits him better is cool with me!  Interesting idea of having his chaos power show through.  Unique :)

Ooh you have a picture of him?  I'd love to see it :)  My email address hasn't changed, so you're good.

Wow, these are cool!  I already knew about Tikal's prayer from SA and SA2, but I didn't know about Soultouch and the Unveiling.  They're good ideas to work with!  Having Ekyt and Linda-Su experience soultouch before Ekyt's transformation is so cute!  Good idea :)
So Ekyt will see her for the first time at her unveiling?  I'm guessing Ekyt's unconscious or something in the beginning where Tiffany helps him, Linda-Su and Knuckles escape from Eggman's base.  Or did you want to do that differently?
And with Tikal's prayer, you're saying that before he transforms, he has to use the prayer in order to use any form of chaos power?  That's an interesting concept.  It definitely would make his change into an echidna more worthwhile.  Ooh, I like that idea!  That'd make for an awesome scene!  Yes, definitely go with that.  It'd fit in there perfectly :D

Today was actually my last day.  I'm graduating with my Associates in Art.  I don't plan on continuing on to get my bachelor's though.  At least not for now.  Another year of school and I'll shoot myself in the head.  I'm nowhere near "scholarly".  So I know where you're coming from.  School is difficult, and I'd rather just learn at home.

 

Phew, I'm glad I'm not the only one!  Sometimes it feels like I'm the only person in the world that doesn't rush straight into a relationship.  I'm only 21, I don't see the point of devoting my life to someone else before I've even had the chance to live.  There's plenty of time to find someone in the future, right now, I just want to focus on the things I enjoy :)    I feel like I've met a lot of sensible guys.  I know that they want more than just looks.  I can actually say that I've been fortunate enough to only encounter 2-3 fake guys in my life.  Everyone else is pretty genuine with me.  Guys just seem so relaxed around me, and we usually have a good time :)  And honestly, I love every second of it.  It's nice to have a clear cut idea of the type of person you're looking for.  You seem to have a very rational idea of who you're looking for :)  Believe me, there are a handful of women like that out there.  You just have to know where to look.  I think if I were to start dating, I'd be looking for someone that I can be at ease around.  Someone that takes me seriously when I want him to, but makes me smile and laugh otherwise.  I want to be with a guy who enjoys the same things I do, but also drags me out of the house once in a while, 'cus god knows I need to get out more often.  But yeah, I'm not rushing into it.  Life's not so bad on the single side.
I won't argue, some people are really pathetic.  I work at a grocery store, and I watch so many people throw a fit because the special gluten-free, nonfat hot dog they wanted was out of stock.  Ugh, sometimes I hate people.  And I know I shouldn't, but it's so easy to hate them where I work!  I need an office job.

I agree, those two are perfect for each other.  Or at least they will be once they get past the awkward phase.  Can't wait to see how it plays out :)

All too true, my friend.  That's one thing I love about the Sonic universe though.  It feels like it was made to be accepting toward new ideas and characters.
Ah, okay.  Sorry I wasn't sure.
Hmm... not bad, but I feel he may look a little too similar to Knuckles.  Maybe give him some bangs or darken/lighten his fur color?  Oh wait!  Is he still going to wear his mask?

Sounds good :)

Yeah, that was the same issue I had with it.  It's kind of clunky and I'll always be trying to figure out how to pronounce it properly.

Haha,  It's no biggie.  Video games make me retain information very well (I can't say the same for reading a book or comic, unfortunately).  So I still remember nearly everything about the Sonic games regardless of the fact that I haven't batted an eye in their direction for the past 5 years.  ... Now if only I could put my school notes in the form of a video game...

Really?  I always thought that guys were into the more innocent, cute girls.  Guys never really seem to have a genuine interest in me as far as dating goes.  Most of them kind of sister-zone me.  But generally, I'm okay with that.  I get really awkward around a guy if I know he has a crush on me, mainly because I don't know how to react.  I've never had a boyfriend in my life.  Probably because I'm just too independent.  But yeah, I know where you're coming from.  I commonly refer to them as "fake girls".  The innocent act is complete bull.  It's so easy to tell the difference between a girl that is actually innocent and a girl that's playing innocent to get attention.  Wouldn't it just be better for them to be themselves?  I don't get it, honestly.
thanks! I think he'll have to be a bit more laid back or they'd probably never wind up together.  It's not like Tiffany's ridiculously oblivious, it's just she has no experience in that area.  The only life she's ever known was being cooped up in a lab and being tested on for hours on end, so that sort of thing doesn't really cross her mind.  Anyway, yes, this should be a really cute and entertaining scene :)

Yep!  Honestly, I understand where you're coming from though.  I spent days trying to figure out if the mind control problem I gave Tiffany was going to be too much.  Then I came to the same conclusion I gave you.  "What am I so worried about?  Sonic turns into a werehog, so who cares if Tiffany loses her mind once in a while?"  But anyway, you mentioned Ekyt being in a comatose?  You mean that idea you were telling me about for your story, or is this something else?

Yeah.  I think I can balance it out though.  Oh, and please don't feel like you have to match my story in length.  The cuts I'm going to have to make are most likely going to severely shorten my story, and I know there's a lot you want to cover.  I'll still put in as many details as I think can be reused later, or maybe even used against her at some point.  That, and I need to give enough background that her personality is understood, so... hopefully I'll at least have a medium length chapter.  I'll get back to work on that now.

That was E-102 Gamma in Sonic Adventure.  E-123 Omega is a completely different character.  He's much more confident in himself than Gamma was.  In Sonic Heroes, they tried to give the idea that he knew how strong and powerful he was, but Eggman didn't recognize it and made him do nothing but guard a room rather than send him out into combat.  So he became angry with Eggman for not seeing his full potential and decided to get revenge on him by teaming up with Shadow and Rouge (albeit reluctantly) and destroying everything that represents Eggman while hunting him down.  Then over time, he actually became fond of Shadow and Rouge and is less agressive with them; even treating them as his friends.  Gamma was the one that was struggling with his humanity.

Nice, personally I think between those two, Saloc sounds a bit better, but it's up to you :)  Looking forward to see what you decide on.

Haha.  I'm that way too.  I don't leave the house unless my parents or friends try to drag me along with them.  I'm not really guy shy.  But I don't know how to act around guys in a "girlish" manner.  Whenever I make friends with guys, I usually just become "One of the guys" because I'm into video games and don't cause drama.  I feel like I made Tiffany like that too.  She's a living weapon, so she's kinda oblivious to the idea of romance, and doesn't think of guys very much as potential mates.  She gets along with guys well enough, but has no idea when they're flirting with her.  Kurt would probably have to spell out his feelings for her before she gets that he wants to be more than friends, and honestly, if we decide to bring him in later, this could be hilarious and adorable.
NG, this is the Sonic the Hedgehog series we're talking about.  Sonic has been turned into a werehog, been a knight in shining armor(along with Shadow and Knuckles), and turns into a super-saiyan knock off on a regular basis.  How do you define "Too weird" in the Sonic Series?  Alright, standing back and looking at it.  I don't think it's weird at all, I mean, he's a human that's being trained as a guardian.  It might be more appropriate that he was adopted into their family before that happened.  Do you plan on covering any backstory on it?

Agreed, the beginning is the hardest part.  I think the reason I'm having trouble is mainly because of how short her story actually is.  I mean, I have a lot of content, but none of it would be relevant to this story, so I don't want to bring up a bunch of topics that won't be touched on at all later in the story.  I just need to balance it out so I don't give you an information overload that isn't necessary.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.  I'll look into it sometime.

Ah, yeah, having him talk like a robot would have helped a lot.  I understand that they're trying to get across that he has a spirit and can think for himself, but he's still a machine, so I can't imagine he would talk so much.

Hmm, well, I looked up some tribal names, and there are a few that stood out to me.  I thought these had a nice ring to them and fit in pretty well:  Karok; Meskaw; Dakelh; Algier; Abaven, Asmund
​Those last two aren't tribal, but they mean "Defender" or "Guardian"  I'm not the most creative with coming up with names, but I hope these helped.
 

Yeah, it's so much more realistic when a couple has to work to make their relationship successful.   I feel like it's not portrayed very much with most pairings, so it's refreshing to see that with Ekyt and Linda,  Having a strong character go after a shy character is an excellent twist too :)

Yes!  Onward with the cheesiness!  ...as soon as I stop being nitpicky over the beginning of the story... man I'm a slow writer...

I've never played the Resident Evil series.  I should try it some time.  Is 6 really that frustrating?  Don't tell me it's one of those game with quicktime events.

I know.  Omega had way too many lines.  Again, this wouldn't have been as bad if he had the same voice as in Sonic Heroes, but still.  He really doesn't need to talk so much.  ...Actually, maybe it's not that he has too many lines, I think his dialogue is just too lengthy.  In Sonic Heroes, he talked a lot, but usually it was short, straight to the point messages or one-liners.  In '06 he pretty much gives speeches.

So he'd have a title, but everyone would still call him Ekyt?  Sounds cool.  What did you have in mind?

Yeah, I enjoy drawing other people's characters.  It's always a good time.   I have to say, I'm surprised I've never drawn Kurt and Tiffany together.  I've only ever drawn their kids.  I should do that some time :)  Thanks, I'm glad you liked my designs for Kyle and Tracey!
KurtXTiffany is one of my favorites too :)  Along with EkytXLinda-Su.  Those two have such great chemistry! 

Well, that works out well then, I won't worry about the cheesiness of it then.

No such thing as being too kind!  A good idea is a good idea :)  And I agree, that would have been the right way to do it.  I bet they would have too if they didn't have technological limitations.

Yeah, that's part of it, but honestly, I really do have poor reaction time.  I can't tell you how many times I've thrown a controller across the room because I didn't react to something fast enough.

I agree that Shadow and Rouge are fine on their own, but I do like them as a team, especially with Omega.  I like Sonic Heroes Omega much better though, Sonic '06's version was just bad.  His controls were glitchy, and his voice was off... way off.  I do enjoy Omega as a character though, and I like to think that Shadow and Rouge think of him as an ally, if not a friend.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.  The case with every character I've created is that their name is stuck to them like glue, and I can't undo it.  I wish I could just change their name on the spot, but nope, I can't do it.  The only time I can pull it off is if I have a character that is trying to hide from someone, so they change their name and identity to help them disappear.  I was even considering doing this with Tiffany at one point, but it seemed silly, so I didn't.
Paula-Su may sound weird to you now, but I find that the more times you say a name in your head, the more accustomed you'll get to it.  The awkwardness goes away after a while.

Of course!  I'm always happy to read your stuff.

I remember that pic :)  I even drew her a couple times for you. She's a cool character to draw!

Right!  Working on it!  ....and trying really hard not to make it cheesy, but it most likely will be anyway... oh well.

NG, have I ever told you how brilliant you are?  Because you're brilliant!  That would be an awesome feature!  Roboticizing animals?  Why didn't I think of that?!  ... though I'm not sure if I'd wanna give them to my chao... he'd have a bunch of omochao running around, lol.

True, speed segments do have a nice feel to them.  I do enjoy the speed, I guess I just need to work on my reaction time when trying to play through those levels.

That's the scene I was talking about!  Shadow says that line while he's removing his inhibitor rings.  Agreed; that scene was all-around awesome!

Haha, really?  Ah well, it happens.  I'm actually in the same boat as you.  Admittedly, I find Tiffany to be a very uncreative name; especially for an Ultimate Life Form.  I don't know why I gave her that name, I guess I just liked it at the time.  I've been thinking about changing it, but I feel bad for changing an already-named character's name.  I guess I could just say Maria named her or something like that so she gets away with the completely un-epic name.  As for Paula-Su, I don't see why you dislike it, I think it's cute :)  And agreed, I love the name "Kurt"; it's perfect for him.

I figured as much, I couldn't really imagine Linda-Su allowing Tiffany to help her unless she was injured, or just too drained to fight.  For some reason I had completely forgotten that Julie-Su and Linda-Su were sisters (facepalm).  Oh, I really need to re-read your stories.  But anyway; what you said makes perfect sense, so we can go with that :)

Tails' levels were okay.  I just wish he had played a bigger role in SA.  I completely agree with you on SA2.  I was really disappointed to find out that Tails was in a mech the whole time.  I just wanted to play as Tails!  Not mecha-suit; Dr. Eggman-clone Tails.  Heck, just having him tail Sonic the whole time would have been better than that.  Oh well, at least you could play as normal Tails in the chao garden.  Also, I would have enjoyed having a couple more mechs available to Dr. Eggman.  I mean, it's Dr. Eggman!  He has a mech for almost everything!  Why limit him to only one?
Really?  You like the mach-speed segments?  Those drive me insane.  Though, I guess with a bit of practice they could be fun.  I don't remember Amy turning invisible...  unless you were running into a wall out of random; in which case, every character turns invisible.  Was that given to her as an ability?  Weird.  It would be awesome if they would make a Sonic game based around the comics, but I doubt it will happen(at least not any time soon).  It would have been much better game if it took place in the Kingdom of Acorn.
I completely agree.  Shadow isn't the type to get close to people, so it drives me insane when I see so many people trying to make him and Sonic best buddies.  Their rivalry is what makes their relationship so great!  It just wouldn't be the same if Shadow was "good".  In my opinion, the best thing about Shadow is that you never know what he's going to do or whose side he's on.  And it's usually a big surprise when he decides to help Sonic and co. at the very last second.  That being said, I actually did kind of appreciate his role in '06 (Though I think it was complete bullshoot that Shadow would join GUN after all they've done).  I feel like they balanced out his and Sonic's relationship pretty nicely.  They weren't really "friends", but they recognized that they'd need each other's help if they wanted to get out of this in one piece.  And I loved that line Shadow used at the end of his story!  "If the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight as I always have"  I feel like that one line summed up exactly who he is, and I love it!

I like that idea; especially the legend thing.  It would not only give a reason as to why Ekyt would turn into an echidna, but also how Kurt is infused with chaos energy later on!  Great idea!  I'm totally up for the added drama.  If you couldn't tell from Tiffany's bio; I am a sucker for drama.  In my opinion, drama helps character development, so it will be a nice addition for this scene, since Linda-Su, Knuckles, and Tiffany will have to deal with the guilt of putting Ekyt through that, and Ekyt will have to decide whether or not he'll forgive them for it.

(I posted Tiffany's bio, sorry if it's a bit rushed; if something doesn't make sense, just ask me about it and I'll clear it up)
Good thinking, NG.  That will work out perfectly.  I'm not sure how Tiffany would know to take Linda-Su to the freedom fighters though.  This is her first time being on Mobius(and not in GUN custody) so she won't really know anything as far as who the freedom fighters are, who Dr. Robotnik is, etc.  Someone would have to point her in the right direction(Maybe Linda-Su herself if she's already friends with the freedom fighter, but that's your call), or she could bump into Sonic or another freedom fighter.
And thanks, I'm glad you like my idea.  It just seemed natural that Robotnik would have stolen the emerald. Plus; having them team up to get it back would be a fun way to show off their abilities :)

If there is one thing i really appreciated about Adventure, it was definitely the Echidna history stuff.  I'm obsessed with time travel, so going back in time and witnessing the events that took place with Tikal was fascinating to me.  Sonic's levels weren't bad, but, like I said; SA2 ruined it for me.  I guess I was spoiled.
The glitches usually make me laugh out loud, to be honest.  I'm usually so entertained by them that I forget to be angry.  I still can't get over how funny it is to watch Sonic just go for a nice stroll around an automatic loop.  It kills me every time!  Yeah, I don't really get why people freaked out over them kissing.  I mean, I hate Elise, but I don't hate her because she kissed Sonic.  I hate her because she does absolutely NOTHING!  And then decides she'd rather let the world burn forever than say good-bye to Sonic.  Ugh... I hate her... moving on!  Silver needed work.  I loved the telekinesis thing, but I really wish he could still perform a homing attack.  Sometimes telekinesis just wasn't fast enough.  Also, he's a complete idiot.  He barely says "hello" to Mephiles and automatically believes what he's told without questioning it.  Geez, I thought at least Blaze would have thought something was off, but apparently not, she's just cool with doing whatever the heck Silver's trying to do.  ... By the way; her presence confuses me.
I know!  The opening to Shadow the Hedgehog was awesome!  Some parts made me face-palm, but oh my gosh, the cg was awesome!  Yeah, I'm abusive to my main characters too, so I cheered a little when I saw Sonic collapse. Then I just smirked because Shadow is a badass and Sega pretty much just admitted that he's stronger than Sonic... I was very happy with this... admittedly.

Ooh, that'd be interesting.  It could be that the Master Emerald recognizes him as a guardian, and in turn gives him the proper form that a guardian should have.  Sorry if that sounds silly, I just think that would be pretty neat, because it'd be the greatest form of acceptance Ekyt could get as a guardian.  When did you want it to happen?  Early in the story, or later on?

Oh, I forgot to mention in my last post.  Do we want to change the beginning of the story, since Linda-Su won't be there?  I think it will work fine if we just alter it slightly.  Tiffany would most likely notice the battle and investigate,  Upon seeing Ekyt and Knuckles in danger, she would help them escape.  The only "problem"(if you want to call it that) is that we'd have to come up with another way for them to encounter the freedom fighters.  Though this could lead to an interesting scenario where Tiffany helps them retrieve the Master Emerald, since Robotnik would most likely have taken it upon their absence,

Heroes is right before Sonic Adventure 2 for me.  I enjoyed Adventure, but I made the mistake of playing SA2 first, so after Shadow was introduced, every game felt like a disappointment to me if he wasn't in it.  I'm sure I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I had played it first.  Thankfully, SA2 never ruined the classic sonic games for me :)  1, 2, and 3 are still just as enjoyable as they've always been.
Okay, I'm sold, on my next paycheck I'll get Generations.  I just bought Sonic '06 this week (I've played it before, and I know it's awful) for both collection purposes and just to make fun of it.  For some reason, this game is still kind of... fun... I don't know why...  It's almost in the category "So bad it's good" for me.
I know where you're coming from.  Shadow the Hedgehog made me use a long list of vocabulary words that I promised myself I would never use.  Now I just don't care.

Usually that's not an issue, as long as you make it clear on the description that you're not sticking to the canonical story.  Also, Author's notes tend to help ease the tension.  When I posted stories on there, I always mentioned the contents in my story on the description followed by a "don't like? Don't read." and "No flames please"  Worked like a charm for me.  Never received a negative comment on that site.

Good idea!  That comes in handy for story purposes.  Okay, so from Tiffany's side, after she gets away from the swatbots, she would probably find herself by the roboticizing chamber, where she would witness someone being roboticized.  Now realizing the danger of the machine, she starts looking to see if there are any other victims and finds Linda-Su.  She breaks her chains and they begin looking for a way out; but soon find themselves cornered by a large group of swatbots.  They manage to hold strong against them, but without chaos energy, they're trapped.  Once Ekyt overloads the machine, Shadow goes to Tiffany's aid and they wipe out the remaining swatbots.  Tiffany questions what was interfering with the emerald's power.  Shadow offers a very brief explanation, mentioning how Ekyt managed to shut the machine down.  Realizing that Ekyt was there, she demands that they go back for him. which Shadow very reluctantly agrees to.  Sound good?

Yeah, Sonic Heroes is one of my favorite Sonic games.  I don't know why there's so much hate on it, it's a good, unique game.  My main complaint was that the game virtually no story until you got to Team Dark, where they just tease you the whole time!  I just remember getting so mad when they implied that the Shadow they had with them was just a clone of the original, but refused to tell you if this was true or not.
Truthfully I haven't played Generations yet, I've just seen the god-awful cutscenes.  I keep hearing it's a fantastic game though, so I definitely want to play it!
Ugh, don't get me started on Vector.  I wanted to shoot him in the head half the time he was following me.  I swear, if I hear him say "Find the Computer Room!"  one more time, I'm going to lose it!  For some reason, I can't see Shadow tolerating half of these characters, even if he's rooting for the good side.  They're just so annoying!

You should post your stuff on Fanfiction.net.  That's the place to post if you want views and comments, DA and FAC are more for art than fanfiction.  I haven't been posting my stories at all, mainly because everything I write is just for my own entertainment, and I don't think anyone would really care to read them.
Yeah, I've been talking to A1 too.  He didn't mention wanting to rp again, but I'm not all that surprised.  He keeps telling me how bored he is, so writing would be the perfect thing to fill his time.

Is it possible to block off the chaos emeralds' power?  I think Robotnik would be using that to his advantage way more often if he had that type of power. It's a cool idea though... heck it'd make an interesting plot device if we decide to stick with it.   Using chaos powers without an emerald... I think I know what you're talking about.  I remember reading one of the comics where Knuckles explained something about how Guardians had the ability to use chaos energy without an emerald, and for some reason, Shadow has this ability too (I don't know if they gave a reason why aside from him being "The Ultimate Lifeform")  So yeah, it would make perfect sense that Ekyt could use chaos energy without an emerald.
I think using a probationary mission works fine for why she's there,  But Shadow and Ekyt know Tiffany would be fine on her own, so why would they be looking for her?   Maybe when she got there, Robotnik set up a barrier, blocking the chaos emerald's power from bring used, and effectively trapping her inside his base, so now,Tiffany has to face a hoard of robots using hand-to-hand combat only.  If she was having too much trouble escaping, she would contact Shadow and ask for back-up, but she would definitely warn him that for some reason, the chaos emerald was powerless.
So you want Tiffany to meet Linda-Su first?  That'd be an interesting change.  She could be trapped in Robotnik's lair as well, and while trying to find a means of escape, Tiffany finds her and they work together to find a way out

Sonic Heroes wasn't that bad.  I actually liked it a lot.  I do agree that Tails' voice sounded silly, but everyone else was voiced decently well.  The writing was terrible though.  They had some of the worst lines in any Sonic game. But If you want to hear bad voice acting though, play Sonic Generations... ugh... it's so bad...  Anyway, I thought the art style was gorgeous in heroes, but I will admit the characters looked like they were made of plastic.  I understand where you're coming from though, since SA2 was the last 3D Sonic game released, it seemed like they were going to keep that style up, just with upgraded graphics, but truthfully. I think Sonic Heroes style works quite well.  It reminded me of the original Sonic games for some reason.
That's true, minus some annoying obstacles, Shadow had a lot of room to run.  And yeah, you would think they would have adapted some sort of lock-on system since you're using a gun... or anything for that matter.  I can't tell you how many times I've attacked the wrong side while trying to use a homing attack.  It also drove me insane that, even though you were on the dark missions, the Black Arms still attacked you... fantastic.  It's be nice if Black Doom would tell them that I'm on their side.  sheesh.  Okay, I'm done ranting.

Sure, I can go first, Though just a warning, it's been around 5 years since anyone has read anything I've written, so bear with me if my writing comes off as s bit cheesy, I don't get any feedback on my work anymore.  Alright, with that said, I'm going to finish up Tiffany's Bio, then I'll start on my first chapter.

Yeah, Sonic and Shadow seem to have a friendly rivalry going on now.  Shadow and Ekyt having to work together? Ooh, I like that idea... what could we do with that?  ... Mainly, what type of situation would they be stuck in that they can't get out of on their own?  I'm going to give this some thought, These two are really strong characters, so it's going to be tough finding something that they need each other's help for... Unless... maybe someone they both care about (I guess this would have to be Tiffany unless we decide to find another person that Shadow and Ekyt both seem to tolerate) is in danger and they have to work together to save them?  Eh, just a thought.  Do you have any ideas?

Knuckles is pretty easy to control in the games.  Handling a speed character can be a pretty daunting task, especially in the newer games.  Sonic Heroes really stands out to me where I used Knuckles the most, mainly because Sonic was ridiculously difficult to control, and Tails was stupidly slow and his attack sucked.  I swear, that game could have only been made with power-based characters and it would have been perfectly fine.  
You like Shadow the Hedgehog!?  I thought I was alone in that!  Yeah, the game had a lot of flaws, but I still thought it was fun and challenging.  Plus the idea of it wasn't that bad.  I liked the idea that your decisions mattered... what I didn't like was that you had to beat 10 bosses just to get to the final boss... where you realize that every decision you made in the game did not matter one bit.  That ticked me off quite a bit.  I feel like it would have been better if they just made it one solid story.  I actually didn't mind that Shadow was using a gun.  I mean, they obviously live in a world where guns exist, so why not.

It doesn't really matter to me.  I was just going to post Tiffany's bio separately as a round-about backstory/explanation for her, then post the main chapter under the actually story.  But if you want to do two chapters for Ekyt, go right on ahead :)  I would post two chapters for Tiffany, but considering she's spending the first 2/3 of the chapter in GUN custody, it wouldn't really be that interesting to read if I stretched it out too much.

Thanks for the read mate. I replied via Email and PM. LOL. I'm rather bored right now.

Alright then :)  I agree, it will be nice to have Shadow as an ally more often.  Tiffany and Linda-Su are going to have their hands full trying to keep Shadow and Ekyt from tearing each other apart though XD

Yeah, I never really cared much for Knuckles, I mean, I liked him, he just wasn't my favorite character.  One thing I did appreciate though was how much backstory they were willing to give him.  Shadow's still my favorite character, I'm always more attached to the characters you kind of feel bad for.  Before Shadow was around though, oddly enough, Tails was my favorite.  I admired how smart he was at such a young age, and to top it off, he could fly!  He's still my second favorite character in the series :)

Okay, that sounds like a good idea.  Hmm... I don't know where to start with my chapter.  I might have to write the beginning Tiffany's story out as a biography since it takes place over a set period of time.  It'll be easier to understand that way.  Then I can explain where she was when GUN found her, what they planned on doing with her, and how she managed to escape.  It probably won't be too long of a chapter, but I'll try to add as many details about her past as I can.

Ah okay.  Sorry if I made it seem like Shadow was really racist towards humans, he doesn't have to be that way.  It just seems to me like he still has a hard time trusting humans; but the more reasonable approach would probably be to make him more forgiving, since that was what Maria wanted.  That and it would open up more opportunities for him to side with them without too much conflict.  I like your idea better, it works better for the context of the story.

I see.  That would make sense.  I'll let you handle the echidnas' stories more, because honestly, I'm not too familiar with their back stories.  I'm starting to read through the comics again, so hopefully I can get caught up pretty quickly.  When I was younger, I had a bad habit of skipping past the echidna stuff because it was too wordy, so I really need to re-read it,  I'm more familiar with the games than the comics.

I don't really see why Shadow would target the master emerald.  He never really seems interested in it in the context of the games or even the comics.  ... unless... maybe he would just be going after it to give Ekyt trouble since he's human?  I could actually see him trying to drive Ekyt away and maybe even attempting to convince the others that humans are nothing but unreliable, meddling creatures who shouldn't be trusted with any form of responsibility.
Oh, while I'm thinking  about it, quick question, is Shadow going to be the main villain(Aside from Robotnik) in this like he usually turns out to be, or a kind-of back and forth anti-hero?  Or did you have some other plan for him?

Oh yeah, I forgot about Nack!  It would be interesting to see him come back.  Some sort of bounty for Julie-Su would be a good idea, what would we have for the prerequisite though?  I'm going to guess it would be Dr. Robotnik who set the bounty for her.  Maybe she had a sabotage mission a while back and afterwards, Dr. Robotnik hired Nack to capture her and bring her back to be roboticized or something along those lines.  Funny how he manages to find her on the day of Ekyt and Linda-Su's wedding... haha, those two can't catch a break!

I agree!  It's a great start so far.  Good idea, it'll be easier to keep track of this way
Here's what I've got:

- Tiffany is in GUN custody and is promised her freedom if she cooperates with them; however, after learning that they had no intention on setting her free, she escapes; but is chased by some robots, which she effortlessly shoots down before disappearing in the forest.

-Deciding she needs to have some sort of idea on where she is, she scouts out the terrain, soon discovering Angel Island, where she notices the battle.

- She makes her way onto the island where she encounters Linda-Su, whom she helps escape from the island using Chaos Control (through the master emerald's power)

- (You summed up that part pretty well, so I'll skip past that; also, feel free to add to this if you have an idea for it, I'm kind of winging it here)  Tiffany joins the freedom fighters and slowly starts to gain their trust, but doesn't really get "close" to any of them 

-  A couple weeks later.  While Tiffany is on patrol, she bumps into Shadow, who is surprised to see someone had finally woken her up, and naturally won't admit he's happy to see her.  They begin to catch up, however, their conversation is cut short as a group of GUN robots managed to locate them and attack.  Shadow questions how much trouble Tiffany had gotten herself into, and Tiffany assures him it wasn't nearly as much as he had caused (Sonic would most likely have told her about Shadow's attempt to destroy the planet).  They take out the robots and Tiffany coaxes Shadow into coming back to Knothole with her.

I'm not sure how you want Shadow and Ekyt's first encounter to go, so I'll leave that to you.  I'm not sure who to have crash the wedding... I'll sleep on it and see if I can think of anyone (Too tired to think of good plots right now, sorry)

Interesting idea.  That could work very well, in fact.  It just dawned on me that Tiffany's portion of this story could easily pick up where my story leaves off.  In the "end"(not sure if I'm going to continue it or not in its own dimension), Tiffany will be on the run from GUN, who think she is too dangerous to be set free(Don't worry, I'm not massively spoiling the story by telling you this.  It was kind of a given); also, they really don't want another "Shadow" running around.  After escaping, she could find herself near Angel Island and see an explosion from the ground, which she decides to investigate and what you said happens.  Though if we go with this, Shadow would not yet know that his sister had finally been taken out of suspended animation(If he even remembers he has a sister, after the whole amnesia thing); so she would most likely be on her own.  Since the master emerald is there though, she'd be able to handle herself and get them out of there using chaos control.  Maybe Shadow could later on sense her signal or something via telepathy(Mind hive or whatever... weird alien telepathy... that's what I'll call it) and come looking for her.

I like the idea of Ekyt and Tiffany having that kind of understanding.  Tiffany would hold a lot of respect for him for sticking with the freedom fighters despite how poorly he's treated by some of them.  That alone may be the reason she was willing to join their side in the first place.  After what happened on the ARK, she may have some trouble trusting humans(She absolutely despises GUN at this point), but she would warm up to Ekyt pretty quickly

Wow, you just read my mind.  I actually had this scenario in my mind about a week ago.  The thought came to mind that Ekyt is Tiffany's future father-in-law.  Then I thought about Shadow's reaction to being "related" to one of his arch-rivals, and I nearly lost it.  I don't know, it came off as a very comedic scenario to me.  It's just so ironic you would bring that up!  And it just works so well too; Tiffany wouldn't want them fighting and most likely would want to find a way to intervene and get them on the same side.  
As for helping plan Ekyt and Linda-Su's wedding; I don't think she'd really have enough experience to plan a wedding(At least at that point in time),  She's happy to help of course, but she would probably be more on the technical side of things(setting up decorations and whatnot).  Unless you had some idea already as to how that would play out; 'cus I'm happy to hear it :)

Ideas from me... hmmm...  Well, I was trying to scrap together how Tiffany actually came to join the freedom fighters, since I was kinda.... really vague about her meeting with them.  Though most of my ideas haven't gone anywhere,  It might be a good way to establish a stronger bond between her and the other characters.  It might even add a bit of drama(If you're up for that, of course).  Most likely some of them would have doubts about her thanks to her brother's wonderful track record.  I could see a handful of interesting scenarios coming out of this.  What do you think?

I know, we need editors, NG!  That way they can do all the annoying proof-reading for us!

Ooh, a co-op fic?  That sounds like fun!  Sure, I'd love to!  I haven't done any collaborative writing in a while, so it'll be a nice change in pace :)

Ugh, I've done that before with Link when he was supposed to lose one of his weapons.  Or I forget that I gave him an injury, or forget which part of him I injured.  Luckily, I don't post anything I write(Since I never finish anything), so I catch it and just fix it.  I actually have a lot of stories.  I wish I could get myself to finish them so I wouldn't feel guilty about starting to write a story and leaving my readers hanging by not finishing it :(  I'm going to make myself write Prototype though.  Poor Tiffany needs something to redeem the lack of character I used to give her.
You know, it occurs to me that using her in your stories was probably quite difficult for you since you didn't have much to go off of, sorry about that  ^_^'

I understand how that can be.  I'm usually the sort to think a story out forever until I no longer progress in the story because I can't limit myself to one idea, so I have a hundred alternate dimensions that don't go anywhere due to my lack of focus.  It's annoying.  I've never finished a story because of this reason alone.  I think I'm just going to have to just sit down and type the story out without allowing myself to change what's already been written, otherwise my story won't go anywhere.  Yeesh, maybe I'm just not cut out to be a writer.  Oh well, it's just a pastime anyway.

I too experience fanfiction guilt.  And I handle it the same way...  well, I don't usually give them their own story, but I do make alternate realities where the character doesn't die.  You should see how many scenarios I've made for Link's father in OoT XD  but yeah, if It really hits me hard, I might do a one-off for them.  Hopefully I can power through it without feeling too guilty.

I know, right?  I'm going to have to force myself not to do that, because the impact won't be as strong if they don't stay dead.  *sigh*  I just like this character so much, it's going to be hard to say good-bye!

Ah, I gotcha.  Well, I'm glad you got a good balance in there that works well :)  I suppose it's true you don't want to make a story too depressing.

LOL, getting excited over a fatality?  You crack me up NG!  I'm actually going to have a hard time killing this character off.  The more and more I develop the character, the less and less I want to kill them :(  It's going to be a sad death indeed.

Don't be silly, you deserve the praise with how much you write :)

​Aww, it's so sad, but I like that idea.  I don't see the problem with making the Sonic series more dark and depressing in fan fictions.  I've always been kinda fond of depressing stories.  I actually intend to kill off at least one character in my story, so I definitely wouldn't judge if you had gone with the more depressing version.  That's just my opinion though.  Whatever you go with, I'm sure it will be cool :)

Disappearing?  Like being erased from existence?  Yikes, that's quite a twist!  How did that come about?  .......I know, I know, I'll have to wait to read the story.  Darn it, NG!  Now you've just got me really curious as to what's going on and you haven't even posted a chapter of the story yet, well done NG, you truly are the king of fan fiction!

2 years?  Wow, sounds like a lot of thought went into it :)  I can't wait to read it.

You know, now that you mention it, I haven't been receiving notifications either.  I'll have to check my settings, I'll let you know when I post mine, and if you could tell me when you post yours as well, I'd appreciate it :) It might be a while before I start posting mine though, I haven't put a ton of thought into it yet, right now I'm trying to decide on the layout of the story.  And thanks, btw, I'm glad there's one person who is still interested in my stuff ^_^

You are!?  Cool!  I'll be looking forward to reading it!  Your works have always been so good, it's going to be fantastic now!  ... I need to re-read The Next Guardian though, it's been so long, my memory's gotten foggy.

Thanks :)  It's going to be called Prototype, and I'm actually going to introduce four new characters. It's going to go further into Shadow and Tiffany's backstory and it will cover how Professor Gerald settled on a Hedgehog to become the Ultimate Life Form (I never bought the whole thing about Biolizard being the only prototype to Shadow)  So... here's hoping it goes well :)

Ah, a sad thing indeed.  And you only have one reader????  YOU???  Nah, I bet more people are reading your stories, they're just not commenting!  I'm way behind on your stories, but I'll try to start reading them in my free time(Though I'm still the slowest reader in the world)  Just let me know if there's one you're particularly proud of, and I'll start there :)

On the topic of stories.  I actually just got back into Sonic, and it occurs to me that dumb fourteen-year-old me never actually wrote a halfway decent story about Tiffany.  I remember I was working on one, but it was garbage(Hence deleting it).  I actually have a newer, better idea for it, and think I might start writing it :)  
...I think my FAC account is just turning into my Sonic account, and my DA is my LoZ account.  ...Works for me!

Yeah, me too :)  I missed this site.  I've been trying to track down all of my/our old friends, but it looks like nearly everyone has left without leaving any DA info behind :(
I'm glad at least you and A1 are still around!

Hi NG!  I just wanted to say Hi!  I haven't talked to you in forever and I missed you :)
Oh, and I'm actually going to be picking up my account here again, so hopefully I can see you around,

Okuden chapter comment: All I can say is; Why did I not see this coming sooner?  The REAL mastermind revealed... or is it? Can never really know with your stories.  Also, looking forward to see the duel with Ryofu and Chiyoko, should be very interesting to see how that turns out.

Seeing as I recall you like Mikos that can fight, here are some short episodes with one.  If you have the time that is.

Ep1 Stolen Spring incident (What I would call but not sure)

NOTE; All the animation and voices are fanmade, as there is no official Touhou anime, as the creator of Touhou doesn't want one.

As I said, their interaction after what's happened between them will be interesting to read.

It's good to give Yuji his moment(s) of power.  For all the abuse he receives, and there is A LOT of it, it's nice to see that he can be powerful when things fall into place.

Been doing alright.  Was at the Glasgow film festival for an interesting event/panel.  Story Writing for Video games, was somewhat informative, if not a bit short.
Other then that, just work, playing some new games and thinking on story ideas.  Speaking of, I've got 2 to 3 stories for 'the rise of Urufu' as you so called it, where Urufu would be in more conflict.  One would be for the reunification of the Land of Sound after Orochimaru's death and the other(s) will be what happens beyond that.  I feel something of a need to write more on the Sound, seeing as it gets all but forgotten in the main story of Naruto.

What about yourself, anything happening on your end?

Okuden CH Update;  The whole thing was one big revelation and seeing Yuji coming into his own for the moment was great.  Also wondering how everyone will react to Chiyoko,further down the story, Ryofu more specifically, since he was the one who originally killed her.

Oh thank you so much! Nice, if you want would let me know your user name?

Hey there. Long time no talk. I'm good, you?

Okuden chapter update:  A rather interesting turn(s) of events going on here.  Most prominent was Chiyoko.  I'm actually rather interested in how she will react to Ryofu.  Will the two of them meeting be a wrench on the whole plan?  Or will it be a chaos festival?  Or even a chance for forgiveness?  I can see so many ways as to how things could turn out that it's just crazy.
Yet again another great chapter

Okuden chapter update:  Creepy is the word to describe it.  Something felt off the whole time and seeing everyone doing what they were doing without a second thought, just made the whole thing strange.  Starting to hate that little brat now.
Another great chapter

Found your comment, it showed on the RSS feed.  Thank you.  I've been meaning to write about how dangerous Urufu could be if he was allowed to cut loose, the war power of his blood control. I used the DW battle of Guan Du as the basis for the whole thing, I think it worked out.

Just to let you know that I added a new chapter to my spontaneous writing.  The Great Fuma Rebllion.  Let me know what you think.

Looks like it's gonna be an intense one.  Again Looking forward to it.

I'm doing good here, just waiting for the PS4 to be released on our side of the world.  Got a pre order, but not for release day, but for pre Christmas so it's all good.
What about yourself?

Okuden chapter update; I can see why Yuji would be angry with himself, he did get his hide kicked rather soundly.  More importantly I'm rather curious as to this new girl you've introduced, so black that it turns white, fascinating.  Waiting to see how things develop from here.

Okuden Chapter update; I had a Darth Vader noooo moment at the end of the chapter, so that really sums that part up.  I like how Ryofu's Blood controlling powers is actually being used as a medical jutsu rather then a way to seriously kill someone and that he is  actually starting to see the Leaf as a home rather then just another place.

This news has got me buzzing all day.  Now I really can't wait for Dynasty Warriors 8 Extreme Legends.  This girl is in it.  This is Lu Ling Qi.  Finally she in a DW game, haven't seen her since Dynasty Tactics 2.  In case you're wondering who this girl is, she is Lu Bu's daughter and her weapon of choice is Lu Bu's weapon from DW6 the cross halberd, so much badass stuff going on.

As always I look forward to how your stories progress.

My personal choice would be the Playstation, mainly cause the Japanese love the thing more then they do xbox, so I'm more likely able to get the Japanese games I want.  That and I also am loyal to the consoles, grew up with them really.

From where I live going to an anime convention MUST be planned in advance.  I live in the Western Isles of Scotland you see, and most conventions are all the way down in midland England or London itself.  It takes at least a whole day for me to get from where I live to a con.

Sorry for the late reply

I like how you've managed to duel life of Oshima/Yuji thus far, I can see that developing into something later on.

Have you played Tales of Xillia by any chance?  It's a good game and I recommend that you at least take a look at it.

No real news here.  The only excitement for me is when I vanish to an anime con, every so often.

Recent Okuden Chapter review.  Classic Naruto with Gai's face memory problem.  Was expecting a little more ruckus on the return to Konoha, but the current result work.  Can't wait to see what happens next.

On another note, I'm planning to to a Kingdom Hearts RP on the forums if you like to join in.
And an anime convention that I regularly go to has a web series on the go and I've put my name forward to doing some stories for them.  The stories I'll be doing won't go on the web series but on their continuation of the series via a dossier of, hopefully, mine and other peoples stories that contibute to the series.  Just in case you ask about my writing.

How are you?  Any news on your end of the world?

I would love to do some writing, but I have been to busy with convention stuff. I miss writing. I have been reading a bit while I travel. Reread waterways and am rereading the Mortal Instruments. I haven't been to FF.net in months. Anyway, Yeah both things really are irksome. I know the feeling. I like your choices of careers. They are fairly tough ones though.

Have been indeed. Now am also the Admin of the conventions Forum as well. I don't mind being busy. Just wow when i get busy I get BUSY! Glad your doing good you can always use a break with a slower period. Never hurts.

Doing Pretty good. Been doing a lot of traveling. Was at my parents a week at the beginning of the Month. Did a few comedy shows at a convention on the 10th-12th. Got home for a day then started running up and down the state for meetings related to the Pandoracon/Fur Reality conventions I am doing program director for. Then also been working on and doing a few pic commissions from my D&D Group. SOooooo. all in all I've been one busy furson. lol. how you bee?

Miss you, man! I haven't been on in forever! How's things going?  Boyfriend's playing Ninja Storm 3 and it's inspiring me to write a little, lol.  I'm in the process of copy/pasting Serving so I can send it to my kindle.  I'm gonna have to get caught up on Okuden. 

How are you?  We need to catch up.

Okuden Latest chapter Comment:  I found the two earth clones to be rather cute, could totally see the in an anime/manga.  Also grinned at the way you made Ryofu feel nervous around Yuji, very interesting.
Your resident Evil fic is quite big so reading it will take a while, but first impressions have in intrigued.
DW8 is very well done.  The return of what if scenarios is a welcomed one.  They fleshed out the characters a bit more, the new ones too.  Also, when you can, check out some cutscences involving Xu Shu, I seem to visualize him as Yuji... maybe I'm reading your stories too much lol.  (Note; Not to be confused with Cao Cao's rotuned bodyguard Xu Zhu)

Oh and my writing is okay enough.  I'm mostly just scribbling away things here and there.   That reminds me, I am going to an anime con next week and they do usually have at least one fanfiction panel there, so maybe it can help get me back into a proper gear

I think from here on I'll comment on chapters through your main page rather then on the stories, as the keep getting eaten.
Oh a resi fic, I'll take a read as soon as I can.
Oh have you managed to play Dynasty Warriors 8 yet?

Lol. yeah. It's the largest in the Country. Right now I'm digging through thousands of pics finding pics of me in suit.

Anyway, hmmm. TBH I have no idea which girl. lol. I will have to find out. lol.

It's Anthrocon.lol. There are ALWAY thousands of ppl there. We will actually be in the Guinness Book of World Records this year. Anyway, yeah a subtle little break of the door that took the dumbass hours to fix and figure out would be more amusing. Anyway, yup I am a fan of RE.

Lol. Nice. Would have been amusing if you had been able to figure it out. Anyway, yeah.HUGE turn out. There were over 5500 attendees and 1300 Fursuiters.

That the way to deal with it. lol. Hmmm. Anyway, it was a good con. I had a really good time.

Sounds like the guy was a real smartass indeed. Pardon the long wait for reply. Was at Anthrocon all week. Just got home yesterday. Now have a bit of PCD. lol

Yeah it was. lol. They spent my entire shift and a HUGE investigation costing literally millions to find out it was nothing more than a relay burnt out due to a faulty heat sink melting near it in one the 43 server rooms of the security grid.

Sent you a PM about a rather annoying event of today.

I hear ya. lol. I was always bored, but there were the few times things went haywire!. lol. Like the time the US Marshals, FBI and such came storming in because the US District Attourney Office, DoE and DoD Security systems failed. Anyway, I guess so. lol. I try to be a good leader. I have a few good previous experiences.lol

Indeed it sounds like a reaction to a environmental allergy. Sucks you had to leave. Security work isn't bad. just depends on the site and company. Mine ignored my contract. Anyway, i have a fairly good paw on things here. lol, but i still take the advice of the other three admins.

I quit due to personal reasons and mistreatment.  I hope ya find something good for urself once you get a breather in. And thanks. It is fun being the man in charge, but still a pain in the tail. lol

haha....you say the nicest things!.....i'm a bit rusty and out of  practice but i'm  sure i'll improve soon.

really? :)    i'll try my best to draw something soon.

well...i've been busy ...haven't really drawn a lot ...but summer vacation starts so may be i'll  start to draw more.  how about you?

hello!

What up mate! been busy! Not found new work, but I'm now the chairman of our local Furry group. lol. Also been playing D&D and such.

Cool.  I'll take a look when I can.

I shall look forward to that.

Things have been alright, neither good nor bad, so can't complain.  Just got into watching Game of Throne and It is an epic, just when you think it's all sorted, something happens to turn everything upside down again, I love it.
Writing wise, I've, obviously, not posted anything on here, but I have been scribbling away on my original story.

What about yourself?

I haven't? huh....I though I had. I do stand up including story comedy. lol. Mostly it is just at cons and such. ANyway, being bored right now.

I'm doing pretty good. Still out of work, but now I have been getting things together for my Comedy gigs this summer. That and trying to get a quick show together for a comedy contest this wednesday that was sprung on me. Lol. Other than that. trying my paws at drawing again and redoing the chapters and outlines for my stories. lol

SOOOO! What up mate? I'm still about; just decided to throw a sketch from my sketch book up. Another attempt at human...which i suck at. lol. ANyway, what new?

Pssst. Check out what I submitted. You might be amused.
I think it's the first time I made you look fuzzy. Hehe! (runs off before you slap me)

ehe. I don't mind the way it plays out. Call me a hater, but i hated the Shattner. His acting was annoying to me. The plot reminded me of the more action voyager plots. As I do agree with the JJ comment. I overlooked it for that movie.

I actually liked the new movie. I liked the new Kirk. lol. I am looking forward to it that and curious about the new Iron man.

I agree. A cameo would have been nice, but not a bad idea on the movie as awhole. Anyway, I haven't seen the Jurassic Park 3D. Still debating on if I will. Mostly I'm saving up for Iron Man 3 and Star Trek. lol

Writers block tends to suck. I know the feeling. Anyway, Just got back from the remake of Evil Dead. Not bad. def a lot more gore than the original. lol

I'm okay. Just odd not working. Anyway, how you doing?

I've had a read, as always, very well done.

I've been doing alright, surviving as they say.  What about yourself.
Oh and I've been scribbling about something of a story, an original fic.  I might decide to drop a rough draft of it here, I'm really liking how I'm going with it, just need to fill in some blanks here and there but I do have something of a structure for it.
Okuden aside, How's your writing.?
Just to let you know, if you haven't already, Dynasty Warriors 8 is getting a west release this July

Sorry for the short replies. Was a messed up and very hectic week. Should be around hope to chat to ya soon.

I'm hoping that it will be resolved soon. not sure if it will or not. Anyway,I possibly will be.I will be looking for some income soon.

It seems to be just on my phone that I can't comment. I can get to ya fine from the lappy. I was annoyed since i was actually on earlier when you left me the last comment, but now it has taken to not allowing me to be even logged in here on my phone. I know the site has had trouble before with keeping up with phones being a major way of connecting to the site. Before when they were not allowing those that had ad blockers to login. I will have to drop the admins a line.

So....Yeah...Realized that my phone can no longer make comments on the site for some reason. They just simply won't show up despite saying they were accepted. Couldn't get on my lappy as i was patently waiting for a new keyboard to come in so i could replace the one that somehow shattered. Anyway, Now Have a working Lappy again.....AND lots of time on my paws seeing as of the 4th of April I no longer have a job.

Aye I'll have to speak to the tech of this place about the comments disappearing.
My recent comment on Okuden is; I found the chapter rather sweet, but, knowing what happens later on, almost rather foreboding.

Just to tell you that I am commenting on the stories I read.  But the comments don't appear.  Thought I'd tell you that, since I was looking at Okuden and found that my recent comments did not show up

Why put the dark stuff aside?  Writing is freely creative, you could always make a dark toned version of naruto fanfic, and there are some dark toned stuff on fanfiction believe me.  I like Sonic but I don't tend to read any of the fics as I usually find them dull and rather predictable.  Resident Evil I'm not too familiar with the story, but I do know some of the key parts.  Xmen I would like, but then I do like marvel and dc stuff anyway.  Death game I'll need to read again to catch up on... in fact I don't remember finishing my reading of it.

My writing?  Slow is the only answer I can give you.  The problem is not inspiration or lack of plot, but me actually getting round to writing things down.  I have this and that in my brain but getting it onto paper is well... slow.
How about yourself?

I'll live. lol. been looking fur a new job. I will try and get back into the RP soon. just getting my mind back together.

and the madness of the week continues We have alot of garbage going on at work. Namely the fact my company has lost the contract and i may not have a job soon.

Sorry about the wait mate. I been dealing with alot of work garbage. I had to work a quadrupal shift this weekend. Was murder. I should be on today. On days I work. Thurs-Sunday I am usually off after 2300.

Yeah. So... how's it going?

You're welcome. :) And like I said, I'll think about it.

sounds interesting. Lol. Though soon we may have to take it to PM if we keep these together. lol. So ketsu will "own" azami? hmmm. A shift to these to. what would we do there?

so were we gonna go from here so i know where to steer

She likes to be paid and if she says that her fee is higher so possibly. lol

i will be on  after  11

will be here.

KH fic update in my spontanous writing.  Hope you like

Thanks, again. :)
Um... I haven't really thought about video games before. Short animations are as high as I've been aspiring. Thanks for the offer, and I'll think about it, but (a) I don't know if it's wise to put another project on my agenda at this point, as I'm kind of busy, and (b) I'm not sure how well Bryce models would interface with whatever programs y'all are using... I'm complimented that you want me on your team, though!
Also, agreed on Hawkeye being awesome. ^_^

h.aving fun too. i'll be around still tonight.

Trying to figure life out. 

Hi! Thanks for the comment. ^_^ I'm glad you enjoy it.
I use Bryce 3D by Daz for the models. I'm currently running 6.3, but except for a couple of the colors/textures, 5.5 is pretty similar.

Sorry it took a bit. did a quick backstory to answer the question. Hope it fit well into the RP still. i enjoy this Rp hope you are too.

I don't mind in the least. Hope u don't mind if i flirt with Azami a bit. If i cross any lines let me know. Kinda fun to have a more adult RP. lol

Not bad. I just butchered my way through a post. lol

Sure thing mate. I will try and get a new post up in a few. lol. How you been?

I will be around tonight most the night. Lol. Sucks my phone won't post. Anyway let me know when you are around and i will think of a post lol

Well actually it's only one update.  I comented on the last chapter but it failed to appear so yeah.

Lol. shorter names are easier to deal with. thus the shortening of Ketsueki to ketsu. Anyway pardon my introduction to more risque material into the rp. I saw you put some in and to be honest i think the either way mentality of ketsu fits her or at least gives her a flaw of sort lol. and feel free to exploit it later on. hell i would even do a bantering rivalry with Azami over you or her. or her getting annoyed with Ketsu flirting. lol. I just find that a fun bit to explore in this character. do as you like.

Thank you. It actually is rather pretty isn't it. i also like the ability to shorten it to Ketsu. Anyway, Mate if anyone could find a girl like the you dream about it would be you.

Well i really hope you are able to obtain the prize my furend. You do deserve it and it would be funny and fitting for you to get what is the root of our running joke on the subject. Anyway, I liked the look and manner of the person in the frame. Very fitting. Oh and have you noticed ketsu's name meaning/ lol. cliche i know.

Thanks. it would just be a bit odd for me to play the ANBU and issue the orders. I don't know why. Lol Anyway hope u don't mind my lead in to the conversations. Anyway, all u can do is try mate. She may bite she may not. I know you will try though. lol.

thank you kindly. would you mind playing one of them to start the assassination attempts. I am kinda just setting up chracter at the moment. lol. Anyway nice, well maybe she will see what a great guy you are and allow an exeption. lol. Other than looks your more Japanese than some japanese i think. lol

PSt...who would head of ANBU be at this point? Or a good member to pass jobs a bit out of taste with village law.

I'm great. So what ya been up to lately?

posted. So...what do u think of Ketsu?

We can start if you like. hopefully the new character is up to par for you. As well as hoping the timeline is okay. I took a bit of time line liberty to allow some back story for the character. I actually know little of Pains occupation of the village in the rain, but it seemed a good back story and The Lady Angel's alliance with Naruto seemed a good place to stick her moving to the Leaf as well as put some play into the fact Yuji didn''t make Kage. Start when your ready mate.

----------CLASSIFIED----------
*For the eyes of the Kage only*
 
Name: Ketsueki Tama (血液滴)
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Appearances: Ketsueki stands at 1.62m. She is strong and athletic despite her slight build. Her brilliantly blue eyes have a habit of being hidden by her chestnut bangs, her hair flows free down to her mid back She ties it in a loose pony tail when on missions. Her wardrobe is composed of a simpe short khomono top adapted with multiple padded poison vials pockets. Her simple shinobi gui pants have been augmented with multiple blade straps and hidden sheaths for all manner of short blades. Even when not in combat she always carries a few vials of poison and a couple hidden blades. On missions she carries an heirloom collapsable sword that belonged to her father. It is all she has left of her father who died in the 2nd shinobi war.
Class: Assassin.
Specialties: Poisons, non-based stealth technics and charisma.
Village of Origin: Amegakure
Village allegiance: none.
Current residence: 7.4 km outside Konohagakure.
Bio: Ketsueki lived in Amegakur during the reign of Pain. Lacking much interest in Genjutsu and Ninjutsu she was trained as an assassin of old style, purely cloak and dagger with an affinity for poisons. After Pain’s death and Konan “Lady Angel” giving the village’s allegiance to Naruto Ketsueki took to living outside Konohagakure. She has since taken to using her skills as a hired hand for any mission not exactly in the parameters of Village law. She has boosted her skill in poisons by breaking into the Private Library of Tsunade stealing several of her personal research tomes on highly classified poisons. Her latest assignment was one that will change her life. An assassination of a former Village ally.

By the way i will be on for all night pretty much.

Hey long time no see. How have you been? 

We will see how it goes. some reason my phone won't let me post on the profiles. Anyway, i will work up a new character profile. I have decided on a female character. hopefully i can hear from ya more soon.

well i haven't watched even into the shippudon episodes. Anyway, i agree that we did a good job with the fights. To be honeset we didn't follow much of a cannon line. lol. Anyway, I am thinking a Cloak and dagger female good with poisons and such. Would def enjoy giving you a run for your money in a few assasination attempts. Fiery and good in combat, but lacking more in the ninjutsu and genjutsu department. Relying on the natural surroundings to actually hide unlike most the shinobi. Anyway, def would be an interesting plot line i would enjoy finding more about it. You don't stay on much, lol. Anyway, where should we have the RP? If you can fill me in on ay other events i am missing and remind me with a bio of the other members of our RP. i mean the other NPC,

I will have to start to construct my new character. do you want a male or female. Anyway, I wil have get u to give me a review of the characters and story. i am so so behind on Naruto. But i always can follow your lead. I wouldn't mind having a assasination attempt on u yuji.

Sounds interesting. If i was in it would u want me to keep Kiba or whatever i call him now or create a new OC and where would it fit in? i like the idea. AND would be nice to get to chat to ya more.

I really wouldnt mind getting an rp together. I haven't kept up with the Naruto or things. Mostly i been watching Voyager and MLP. lol. Anyway, I may possiby try out a new character myself if we get one going.

Indeed. will be a bit before i know if this year is on my side. Anyway, i miss it too. the Rp was great and don't be so hard on urself. our characters have evolved and of course we will look back on them with distaste. imagine where they would be now if we had kept with them. they would be new ppl, new experiences, wiser and better for it. lol.

Lol. I am cautious of the new year myself. Not expecting much of it. Anyway, i couldn't figure out where the pm had gone since the update. lol anyway, glad u liked the story.

A (belated) Happy New Year to you too.  So far this year is alright, a bit too soon for me to judge if it will be a good year or not.
Writing is doing alright aswell, at least in terms of planning my KH fic.  I got some insperation for it from a visual novel called Princess Waltz.  It's actaully quite good.

Happy New Year mate. How is 2013 treating ya?

Cool. i'll send you a copy of the two chapters i have. Original works take much longer. Good thing I don't have a time limit.

You work to much mate. Anyway, I can focus on occasion, but my brain is fried from writting and rewritting the chapter. I had it go like ten different ways, but scrapped them all. I finally got it how i like though. If you would like you can see it. It's an original work and I always can use a fellow authors critics.

I have the horrible habit of now neglecting my writing in persuit of other things that pop into my head. Namely lately catching up on *call me weird if you like or not lol* MLP:FiM

Lol. We will see. I have given the first chapter to a few critic groups and all i fricken get is "MORE!!! Is the rest written yet?"

I can imagine it does take up alot of ur time. I been really busy myself. I been working a lot, not to mention i got to start writing again. Lol. I have writing to do for a possible agent. lol

I suppose that is true. BUT it hasn't been this way in so long i can barely remember it. lol. I think it was when i was just a lurker and not a member. Lol. SO, pardon the absence. WHat with the holiday and such been busy as hell.

I always felt that Kingdom Hearts could be turned into something of a dark story.  So I eventually came up with this.  I'm getting my insperation from scenes from RE1 Remake.

I have an update for the spontaneous writing.  It's a Kingdom Hearts fic.  Think Lisa Trevor from Residant Evil Remake and you'll understand where this chapter is going.

I've actually taken to writing some scribbles during my off time at work.  For some reason I'm more productive when I'm on break at work then at my own home... probably I have more vices then at work I suppose.

I updated my spontaneous writing. Its the Naruto fic.  The chapter is very small, but I intend the next chapter of it (Whenever I get round to it) to be a fighting chapter.

SO still not digging the new lay out of the site. I miss the old stuff. lol

The two Yuji's did give me the runaround.  I thought I miss read the story at first thinking I mist a part were time went back or forward.  In an anime setting this would be a badass scene.  In writing it's rather difficult to accomplish.  I think you did a good job on it though.

I have a question for you.  I have some chapters ready in my spontaneous writing, but I don't know what to put on here first, artist perogative.  I have a naruto fic (The continuation of the fic already on) and a Kingdom Hearts fic.  I would like for you to chose which one you want to see first.  Don't say both though

Hi. Look at all the older comments I have yet to delete!

Thank you so much!

doing okay. Had a doozy of an anxiety attack earlier, but the damn thing has subsided. Watching Naruto episodes to refresh my memory of the time period I am writing in and also to chill out. BTW, if u don't want to watch Eden of the East in Japanese. I do have dubbed as well.

Guess whooo.
I'm such a jerk. Let's start over, sir. Hi, how are you? Name's NPG. Yours?
J/k. I miss you, NG! I know it's all on me why we haven't talked in so long.
How have you been, if I may ask? :)

I sent you the 'official' copy in an email! Have fun!

Aw, well I hope things get better for you. ): Yeah, I'm hoping so too. But it's going to be kind of hard when there's so much rain and wind nearly every day, lol. How are you feeling now? I hope your cold is going away. xC

Mhm-mhm! So how is your art going for you? Haven't heard about it in a while. :D

Aagh, I know what you're talking about. But it's mostly him marking certain areas of the house... mainly the kitchen for some reason. Oh well, I love him, so I can deal with it. :) It's good she learned, must've of been a good surprise for you to know she learned spontaneously like that. XD

I do like suspense more, I just get sick to my stomach easily with gore. I hear you say that a lot, but I must agree, it's just so cute. I like the sweet but also tough and determined heroines.

Oh really, why, because it just seems better with more people? Lol, I have no idea, I'm just curious- because I've never tried it.

Well it's good that they do now. When not even my pets like me, I feel like an awful person sometimes XD lol. Awh, it still must be nice to have them around. I never had fish before, it's fascinating to watch them swim though, hehe.

Seriously... I get that too. And that definitely made sense, I get what you're saying XD

Yes, yes indeed! Music can be more than catchy and have such meaning to me, and inspire me to do a lot.

Why thank u very much. I'll tell ya I've been really bored lately lol!

I know, it's like she doesn't listen to anybody else but herself since everyone are just ordinary and boring humans. XD It looks like a interesting anime and pretty unique, lol.

O.O Oh, really? Sometimes I hum a song while listening to it. Listening to music helps me draw and I am easily inspired with songs when I draw, usually not when I write though. xD

I'm was sick today and how the request going?

I was just taken aback that you made Kimi use a water clone from blood. Because that concept was something I was going to make Ryofu do at some stage in the story.
In fact he has already begun to show signs of blood minipulation... I'll leave you to guess where he used the jutsu. HINT; it happend in Ukigumo.

Anyway I've updated the Naruto Co-op fic. I'm not really sure I like this chapter but I'll leave you to be the judge of that

I know what you mean T.T That stinks though

Yep XD I had another influx, sorta, lol. But thank you ^^

Aw, well thanks ^^' Art is really subjective...you're right. That's why even though I like to draw, I always hated art classes in school, because they're grading you based on their opinion it seems. And that's just not fair :( Plus I nearly got a B in art T.T Which made me sad.. because I'm a straight A student and I do enjoy drawing, so to be graded worse because of the teacher's opinion just seems absurd.

Oh, most definitely! X3 They're real entertaining and fun to watch. I really like the Haruhi Suzumiya ending, Haruhi gots the moves! XD

Why thank you! ^^ I was writing the lyrics around all areas of the picture and I was listening to music that I thought worked with the picture and what inspired me to do it. :)

Just finished reading the chapter. I am definetly liking the way you portrayed the situation.
I'll start working on my side soon.

Hey how you doing?

Aw man! I knew it would happen! I knew it! DX FAC comments are cursed to jinx us when we're having good days, lol. It's been proven. I'm really sorry to hear that T.T I'm almost tempted to say DON'T tell me if things get better because it might just mess things up again DX Awww

xD Thanks for saying so, lol. I think you're good with your OC :) Better than I am anyway. My style of him is totally different, and probably too cute to fit his person, lol.
I like to draw from nothing actually, but I find it much harder to get creative that way with the subject of the drawing. Once I think of something though, I'm usually ok ^^' I don't have the patience to think about it like you either. My best pics done without ref are all by accident if you ever noticed :) lol

Btw thanks so much for faving my picture! :D That made me evening. (obviously faves mean a lot when you're still at my level XD)

I recently got another fan and rq, which I'm thrilled about ^o^ It's all such a big deal for me when that happens...lol

oops, I meant MY evening -_-

I've updated the Co-op fic
I think that was a record speed by me LOL

Awh, humming it? C: That's sweet. There's a lot of cute and good songs in Bleach and Naruto. I love Lucky Star's opening. XD

O.O Really? I drew something actually pretty good for pratice. I thought it went well. It's a girl looking at the mirror and she looks unhappy. I was writing some lyrics with it as well. :)

They destroy my artwork. :(

Aw! That's great ^^ That's very good to hear actually, because you've seemed down for so long. I'm having a better weekend than I've had in a while, so let's just hope stuff stays this way :) Last time things started going ok and I told you, I jinxed it and things got worse XD So let's hope neither of us jinxes anything, yes? lol

Oh Ryouko, I remember him! I haven't drawn him for you a while ^^ But I still look at my drawings of him sometimes. He looks nothing like he's supposed to when I draw him XD That much I remember, lol.
Usually I don't come up with a story when I do an OC. I'm good at doing it in my head when I daydream, but when I go to draw him/her I don't really think about it ^^' That's a really cool idea though.. I'm really glad you told me

Here my drawing:
http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-779652.html

You're welcome. I'll definitely tell you. :) I tried to work on it yesterday but no ideas for a beginning popped up.

Haha. XD Yeah, we have a collar for our dog but we haven't put it on him, only once. It's not annoying though, lol.

*sigh* no cause i cant draw

yup it is and hi happy late new years

Hawkeye had watched as Holmes began to walk away. By his posture she could tell he had more to say so she waited still in her at ease stance. As the Pvt turned back to face her she cocked her brow and listened to him. So a hidden message was it. The Private knew she hated black coffee. The bottom of the pot bit had been clever. Hawkeye nodded, "Thank you Pvt. That was thoughtful of you. Next time I take Cream and two sugar with my coffee. That will be all." Feeling a small bit impressed by the Pvt Hawkeye did something she rarely did to subordinates and saluted the young man. She couldn't be sure, but she though she could see the tips of his ears turn beet red. Hawkeye shook her head and turned away from the retreating Pvt and considered the paper cup sitting on her desk. Walking over to her desk hawkeye she picked up the cup and emptied it into the flowerpot outside her window. Immediately the flower wilted a bit. The coffee from the diner really was bad. Looking at the bottom of the cup Hawkeye noticed small writing etched into the bottom. An address and what appeared to be a pack of cigarettes. Hawkeye nodded to herself. Clever and impressive using alchemy to burn the address and symbol into the paper bottom was a good move. This Pvt was full of surprises. perhapse he would be a useful tool in getting through everything going on. Hawkeye considered the symbol. Cigarettes. Hmmm. That had to be Havoc. The man smoked like a fiend. As to the address She could only figure a secure location. Given the fact that the government and military had been taken from the top down by the homonculi it was reasonable to assume that Holmes was worried about her. That was sweet. Un necessary but sweet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ed took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Mustang is a pompous @$$ bag and the only thing he is good for in my opinion is approving my research fees. Ed sighed and looked up at his younger brother, but perhapse you are right. He always seems to know more than what he lets on. Look at what he did on our first trip to Central. He deliberatly put us on that train. Anyway, he might have something of use for us.

Hawkeye gave a Holmes a flip of her wrist in acknowledgment of the salute, but didn't return the gesture. Instead she squinted down at a sheet of paper with that days duty roster. Without looking up she address Holmes with her usual crip and clipt tone. "You are supposed to Report to Mustang." Hawkeye looked up at Holmes and raised a brow. "Aren't we a lucky one? It looks as though you have some fun in your future." Hawkeye lowers her clipboard and cocks her head a bit as she relaxes into her normal at ease stance. "Are you familiar with the situation at Ft. Briggs? I assume you have some information after all you never go home. All you do is work." Hawkey narrows her eyes at Holmes. "If you don't watch it you will turn into a second Roy. Not that that is a bad thing." Hawkeye let a brief smile cross her lips and unusually it actually reached her Eyes. "Anyway. If you aren't familiar with the situations the get familiar with it. We need you and we don't have time for unimformed bunggling idoits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ed looked down and shook his fists balled and vein pulsed in his forhead. Speaking slowly through his teeth Ed didn't turn to face Al. "Who are you say is to short that if he wanted to he would have to have the girl on her knees to reach with pole." Ed Turned around and growled at Al. I don't visit home because We still haven't found a way to get our bodies back. Once we do we will return home. As for Winry. She has nothing to do with why we don't go home often. Besides the last thing I want is a wrench to the side of my head. She would take a look at my arm and try to tear me apart.

..... nope! *ignorant smile*

Oh, why thank you! ^^ YAY! I have my own gingerbread house fanboy! Will you do a fanboy squeal next year if I post another one? lol!

Great. Haha, Happy New Year :)

So what've you been up to lately? :)

thats good. same.


happy new year :]

I think I will rename him then. As for the picy. Not that I know of. it could be I don't know. Anyway. Kilynn says okays. yeah it would be funny. Now she is going to cover you in steak sauce and eats you RARW!

Ooo. Cool RL is on. Anyway. Well I might just rename him. It might be easier. (barking laug) Anyway. Nice. I love the entries. Anyway Kilynn says she approves too, although it is a bit creepy she says.

I figured you would be thus why I lapsed back to some understandable concepts.(barking laugh)Anyway. I don't really know how often RL is on anymore. I hope she is on more so we can get it started. Nice changes to Holmes. Do you happen to remember my Oc's name anymore. (facepalms and growls at myself for furgetting)ANyway. Yeah. Trust me I would love to keep away from "I can't take this garbage anymore says ed as he cradles his broken arm. You morons have taken it to far." AND take it more to "I have had it with this Sh*t! Ed attempts to flex his wrecked arm as he does so the mucles attached to the automail snap and blood spatters across his shirt. You Sh*t faced bastards have got me pissed now." LoL

Hey! (sorry for the late reply) I've been, well... busy. ^^; I'm on break now though. Sorry, I never got back to you on the FMA RP thing ^^;

How have you been?

Well. it is coming. I almost have an lvl 80 toon. I'm at 73 and the lvling has become tedious and boring so I have been fooling aroung with another toon as well. But yeah. Back to subjects you would prob know.(barking laugh)Well hopefully I will begetting my compy back here soon. We have pretty much taken over Kilynn's mom's compy so we have it almost all the time. I might be on alot more now. I would love to get into a FMA RP so long as it is a bit more of a mature audience one like the real show.(Not CTN's version)I can't remember my OC's name, but I do remember everything else about him and so long as he fits in your guidelines I would love to join in once you get it going.

Ah. I see. Your usual routine huh. Well besides the relaxing part. Me believe it or not am being a bored pup. I am not working and have not moved yet wo I am filling my time playing WoW, writing and loving on Kilynn.

i been on waiting for you this time. I waited for awhile yesterday, but I had some things to do on WoW.(barking laugh)ANyway. what you up to mate?

I'm still here mate. just working on getting a story down onto the compy from paper.

Ello mate. Happy New Year to ya. How is the new year treating you. Oh and Kilynn asks if you have an account for Hentai Foundery?

Who doesn't want to get something out of it? I try to think it over before I do something, so at least, I kind of expect the outcome. I do try to take a breath and remember why I did it, and how it's helped me. Everything comes with it pros and cons! Or at least I think so.

Well, that's a nice relief. I was worried about it for a while, but that helps. Oh, what would I do without FAC! XD

You're such a loyal user of FAC, I try doing that. But things just get in the way, and I know I'll get too emotional XD Besides, I have this myopia (nearsightedness) problem, so I've been trying to avoid the computer at times.

WHAT?! That's just so much work! And I'm sure I'm not making it any better by freaking out. -calms down- You're amazing. I would have such a fit if I had to do something like that. I actually had to write a character sketch on someone I knew, so I ended up picking you. But my teacher took it as a sample, and I only found out like a week after that it was gone. XD Kind of funny since I never got to write it on the comp.

Awh, thanks, and I hope you did too :) You doing good, as of late?

Sorry I missed you mate. I will try and be on tonight. I miss talking to ya. ANyway. Samhein was very nice. I did get in a bit of trouble by a few parents of ticker-treaters. I will admit I was all be it only slightly. I was Intoxicated a bit. We left out our offering to the dead and performed our rituals. It was a nice evening. Anyway. even though Our New Year was earlier we will prob celebrate this one a bit. I know we are having a steak dinner and wine. lol. anyway. talk to ya later.

Hello mate. What up. Just wanted to let you know I might be around tonight. So hope to see ya.

*pulls out a 1700's cannon* ok!!

Aw, thank you ^^ It didn't take too long though. Or maybe time just went fast cuz I did it with my family and friend :) Its sorta a tradition here. That was my best house yet ^o^
Oh that's fine XD Its totally ok

i've been good. you?

hey!

we because no one would suspect a woman to do such things. but a you maybe. xD

Thanks for the comments NG! ^^ I didn't make everything on that gingerbread house though, in case that's what you thought XD The marzipan decorations came with the box set.

I understand, but I think you're smart and will do well :)

Thanks NG ^^ -hugs- Its nice to have people who consistently believe in my artwork, even after I haven't drawn in forever. Did you see my newest submission? I was trying to relearn how to draw ^^'

im so innocent *big innocent eyes*

Just like to say that I'm sorry for not updating any of my stories. Aside from finding the time to delete some of my stories, I've been really busy and My time on here has been sparadic.

But I will start updating on one of my stories ASAP.
Just letting you know. Bye

Well, I like to think that my hard work is positive, failure or success; at least I know I'll pick myself up after it, and go for it again! -raises fist in the air- YEAH! I feel pumped for some reason now. XD

I agree 100 %. But hey, I was meaning to ask you about this... I heard from a friend that FAC is going downhill, and that it won't last much longer? I just wanted to know if you knew anything about it. I was worried at first, but I don't know anything from the staff about it, like she said. So I ended up forgetting about for a while since I didn't see/hear any proof of it.

Oh really? That's good for you! :) I'm sure it should be faster and such, yeah? Ah, that's fine! Just glad you're back ;D

XD Aaah, yeah, I know, I think the same...when I'm moody. Yet, lately I've been so distracted I can barely focus on anything! It's really frustrating.

Oh wow, Good luck ^^ I'm sure you'll do fine.
Yeppers, I has gotten more time lately so I've been popping on. All my doubts are coming back though DX That's mainly the reason I'm here. I wanna get rid of them again, cuz they're annoying T-T I guess it's cuz I started talking to Cc again; it reminded me of her artwork... ~sigh~ I wish I'd learn.

HAHA!! *point*

Band was pretty rough, but I'm free now ^^' It was fun none the less. I've been getting more time to hang out online, and we are close to the holiday vacation :) Which I've been waiting for since like, Thanksgiving!
I feel bad for never being on this site T-T I wish you had a facebook or email I could talk to you at or something. I check my email much more often than anything else, so we can talk there if you ever want to ^^ I hope you've been well lately. ~hugs~

Awh. . .I'm sorry to hear that. :( I have a lot of trouble when I write my new ideas as well, I keep on erasing and rewriting them over and over again. -.- Eh. Haven't worked on a fiction in a while.

It is a shame. D: FAC's members are decreasing!

I'm doing pretty well. Probably going to get a snack soon! What're you up to?

Well, I wish you good luck.

That sounds reasonable to me, I try and do the same with my essays. Recently, one of them was actually graded pretty well, too. It may seem like a little thing, but I really worked hard, so it's nice to see it pay off.

I think that's why we understand each other with things like that. I can actually talk to you about worrying without feeling bad about it. Like you said, it's not so bad, especially if I don't cross that line.

Somehow, it does, you're right. XD I know what you mean, I'm in dire need of gaining some confidence. But little accomplishments here and there help up my esteem. Which is always positive.

If I read that right, are you implying you aren't drawing them right or something? :( That made me frown for some reason.

*holds up a sign "i like losing" on it*

Well, I hope you get it eventually.

Important Notice on my stories
http://www.fanart-central.net/blog_entry-9834.php

meh winning is boring.

Alright, I'll think about that when I take it in college.

TTYL ALL! CATCH UP WITH YOU TOMORROW!

its obama's fault! >:O lol, but yeah i see what you mean, i tend not to look at the news anymore.

there is to much structure in Japan.

i think i enjoy japan alot, but america is my home

No luck. I get the same old access denied bit.

Nope. Nada.

oh thank you. ^^ me and my friend are working on that story Celestials. i draw the art, and she writes, all though i can write, very well ^^ i might help out with that too!

Oh dear. I'm going to have to work very hard on those.

Ok, Setsuna is 17 years old and comes from a very traditional family in Japan. her father is a very proud man who will never tolorate a loser or someone who is inperfect. He runs a Dojo so she knows her Arts. ^^.

but he father will drive her over the limit and it has caused very bad injutries, most of with are on her feet.
her best friends Are Yakumo Fujiko, and Madoka Jones (her father is an ameircan man Ergo her last name) setsuna often comes off as a very cold and reserved person, but is a loyal friend.

she has a bad temper when she is at the point of rage, but its hard to get her in that state of anger. she goes to a school known as Claymore high, a public school, she fights with a katana, and is apart of a groupe called Celestials. she's a demon hunter of sorts. she becomes leader eventally and runs her team with an iorn fist, you can't slip anything past her.

but that dosen't make her not any less flawed than the others. she's a perfetionest thanks to her father and everything she does has to be perferct or its nothing.

but she always remains a loyal person, even if she's hard to get close too.

Something about me not being authorized to comment on your profile page.
Welcome back :)

I just tried again. No dice.

heck yeah! :3.

i could even tell ya about her. :3

don't worry about it, ^^ i hope to put up more Art soon. that is one of my Characters in my profile pics. setsuna is her name. :p

do not be alarmed! i be harmless! >:O

i sent you a PM

hello :3

Oh yeah, there are those times as well. Lately, I try to draw first, and fix the flaws later. Even then, I dunno, I'm rarely satisfied XD

Yup, I think that'd be the best way to put it. And when it all comes down to it, it's good to be prepared. I've been told how worrying is negative, and I should just be more free and forget about it.

Ah, thanks! I'll be sure it's just right! That's one of the reasons why I end up taking longer than I would've liked to with my requests. Just like with school, I've got to go back and make sure I understood the topic, etc. I just like to make sure of things, is all.

That sounds like a good idea! Though, I usually think of sketches as free-writing in a way. It's not meant to look great, but to assist and help you with your studying/goal. Then, you go back and polish it up :) I don't know if that made sense, lol. But it's great to know you're working hard!

You're back from the dead! Hi! How are you? I can't comment on your page, for some reason.

eh no body wins, there is just a feeling of winning.

Ah, I see. So you just have to memorize what it looks like

I agree with that, lol. I always think it looks pretty good when I finally finish a pic, but months later I usually end up shuddering.

Decaf tea, huh, I could use some, but I'll have to grab that at the store my next visit. I dunno, I'm just a paranoid person, lol. Like every night, I just worry about a lot of things.

I was going to work on it today, but I ended up being bombarded with a lot. And I'm heading to bed real soon, so I'll probably do some sketches tomorrow. XD Heck, I'd love someone to draw out some of my ideas, I don't feel like I can do some of them either.

Wow, that must hurt. D: Whenever I have inspiration I just can't stop writing. XD I hope ideas pop in your head soon!

I know, you're right. Not too many people want to comment and there aren't too many users online at the same time!

How are you? :3 I haven't talked to you in a while.

That's alot of kanji. Is there some special tecnique you use for memorizing them?

Thanks again, your comment kind of got me curious, lol. I even started looking at some of my past work!

I can't sleep good either. I'm always worried about my rest issues, but it's hard to fix.

Aha, thanks! This really helps, I won't tell you what I'm going to do though. -whispers- I want it to be a surprise. ;D And no problem, I love doing RQs for you.

*puts aviator sunglasses on and folds arms behind head* have fun ^^

I will try very hard, because I'm going to minor in Japanese. My major is going to be creative writing.
Right now I'm in spanish, but I'm not liking it very much. I'm just got done with a big project and I barely get it done. After this year, I'm going to be done with spanish. I just love Japanese so much. In fact, this project is about a story, and my story is from Japan.

Oh, yes, I am! But I'm both flattered and surprised you'd say that; I always thought I had such a weird style it wouldn't look like anyone else's. XD Thanks though, it's the first time I've ever heard that.

I don't think anyone would like being disturbed by some screechy scream, in the middle of the night, right? I'd be the same. But I'm okay with my kitty quietly coming in my room. I do wake up, but not by noise, I don't know. Maybe I sense he's there.

Very! Psh, I agree with you. The last pic I posted was of Conan Edogawa. Probably because I've been hooked on Detective Conan. Hey! I've got an idea, do you have any requests? It's fine if you don't, but I usually get right to working on it, especially since you have good ideas. Just offering, lol.
Btw, that's nice, thanks. :D I will, definitely.

Soul Eater update
Glad your starting to catch up.
I'll start getting to work on the next chapter of our Co-op fic now

nopers

Ick! I no like kanji! DX I only learn romanji. But I'm going to minor in Japanese so I guess I'll need to learn kanji too. XD

nope.

Just believe in yourself.

Sounds like a nice experience altogether. I'll just be patient until I'm allowed to, though.
Oh, wow, is he afraid of being alone, maybe? I don't know, picturing that is quite interesting, lol.

I've learnt recently, that being busy isn't entirely a bad thing, I kind of like it. It allows me to have focus on something. The stress is inevitable for me, but I find ways to cope. I've been...okay, just kind of troubled, besides that, fine. :) Thank you.

*lays on the ground*

Naruto Co-op fic updated

Agreed.

Haha, good luck.

True to that. it is impossible no matter how hard you try, but even if it were possible not many would want to bother with it. Anyway. Indeed it does. Now if only the Victorian age, Futal age and the more noble and well mannered ages would return as well. (barking laugh) ANyway. That would indeed be a cool attraction. I would go to it. ANyway. Nice a co-op fiction huh? Me I am working on my book now. Have it all planned out. now the hard part of getting it from my head to the paper. Not so easy. Especially with how detailed my mind is. I can see down to each little leaf in the breeze and every angle of light. Nearly impossible to wirte like I see, Write it I must. (barking laugh)

Yeah, but they won't ever see it. It isn't to hard. it's to inconvenient to see their own flaws. ANyway yup. your style is coming back mate. (barking laugh)That would be an interesting concept. a matial arts Jurassic Park. lol ANyway.I will drop her a line soon.

True. Common sense goes out the window now aday. it's sad. ANyway. you may get your wish mate the 80's looks and demnors are coming back. ANyway. Oh. I am working on a new WOF site. I went back to the old server. Right now I am renting the site, so the name isn't my own at the moment. But hopefully it will be up and running soon.

Indeed. I would run a business personally too. No need for outside burocracy. I hate it and I don't want it. Anyway. Lol. nice quote, but still it will hurt to have her so far away. I will miss her greatly. ANyway. never been to the site huh? hmmm. missing out on some good yet provocative art. lol

We is good and yeah. Don't know what caused her comment. I was dozing and got a pounce from her. (barking laugh) How is ya?

What up mate. I will be around tonight. so if you show up drop me a line.

*ducks* haha!

I know, it's sucks that all the avid readers are now gone.
Okay

I see. Well my other reader of my Soul Eater story lost interest and I was begining to think that you lost interest as well

Soul Eater update. Come on man catch up....or have you also lost interest in reading the story?

*siting on a komodo dragon with armor* buhahahahha!!!

I've updated our Co-op fic

Well, I can understand why, a lot of people need the money. And especially for the type of postion I'm in, it'd be great to be doing something I love, while helping my family at the same time.
Seriously? My kitten literally whines for me to let him in our room (since I share with my sibs), and it's so cute. He'll usually cuddle up on my blanket. It's hard to believe he can eat so much without gaining a ton of weight, is he active often?

Thanks! :) Oh, so how has your day/night been? Hm?

Aw, that's too bad ^^;

Yeah :) And I wouldn't mind trying out an FMA co-op fic. ^^; Might be kind of slow moving though... Heh heh

*pulls out a bat and hits back at you* buhahahah!

Haha, yeah. O_~ It was fun~! Have you heard from Kiba lately?

No, it's not MY site ^^; Hahaha, but it is a nice roleplaying site that I like to go to. Luckily, it's back up and running. Apparently they were down for maintenance... for five days... haha I thought it was gone~ Anyways, yeah. It's nice.

HAHA!

I've updated the Naruto co-op fic

*spits watermelon seeds at you*

Thats cool.
I have to be away now. Bye for now

Nah your alright. Besides I have an interesting plot twist for the fight in mind for this story. So your in the clear about what attacks Ryouko is capable of at this point in the game

XD Wow, sorry for bringing back memories, lol! Hm...but I am curious to read that. -rubs chin-

That's true, I just never thought of it that way. I'm horrible to myself. I don't think it's because I'm lazy, I just don't think I can do it. But wow, babysitting...not sure if that'd be fine with my parents, I'm only sixteen. Never hurts to ask, though.
I'm with you on that. Oh, my, now this is making me recall that stomach flu I got in March. Ugh. Okay, I think I've heard enough about needles and flus. XD
Oh, yeah, that's right, you told me about that! Well, I'll just be patient, like the good little girl I try to be. 0:)
If anything, that sounds like a pleasant surprise. I would love to end up finding a kitty at my door.

Well, time's up for me. I'd better go finish those potatos, I'll talk to you soon, NG! Lovely talking, as always. ^^

Sounds like a good idea. Hmm, I just had a thought. Once I get to work on my side of the story - which is the finish of the Ryofu vs Ryouko battle and the explaination of the mission - I think you will have a few opportunities to intorduce one of the three

Awesome.
Two more Oc's? Let me guess. Would that be Azami and Ryouko's apprentice (Can't remember his name)

Mhm, yes! We're having a big dinner tonight, so I'll probably be running off soon. :) It's fun helping. -hiding a tape recorder behind my back to record that scream- We'll let Sakura hear that sometime, lol.

That'd sound like fun, too bad I'm not much of anything at sports. ._.'
Well, thankfully. But even though I'm scared of shots, if it helped my chances of not getting the flu, then I'd do it.
I don't care! I wanna see it! Oh, can't wait, can't wait!

Aah, lol, I see. Now I know, thank you! I wish I knew when my kitty was born. Ah, shucks. :\

I've been doing great.
I've bought assassin's creed 2 and have been playing it almost constant (Hence why I have no new story updates)
Also there could be a chance I can get out of my currents status of unemployment by being self emplyed via selling anime/manga
SO yeah, I've been busy and things have been good to me lately.
What news from your end?

Gasp, we're both on! I'll try to stay for a bit, though dinner's almost done, and I have to make mashed potatos.

Ha, you think? That's well, so nice of YOU to say! I've always considered choosing a career that had to do with helping kids.
I know how that goes. Hopefully you don't have to wait as long when you do get it.
All right, all right, I'm just anxious to see it! It'd be nice to see a recent pic by you. ;D So let me know whenever it is ready.

XD Wow, she's a fast learner. I may have forgot, sorry, but how old she now? ^^

Well this is a rarity. We're both online at the same time. How's things?

Oh, it sounds like a lot of fun! I like being with my siblings. So, I'd prefer volunteering at a kindergarten. So far, I've got nothing, sigh.
Eh, as long as it was worth it, right? It's amazing that you survived those six hours, j/k. XD Oh, and how's that WIP coming along? :)

Well, wow! That's one smart puppy. Anyway you can distract her from doing that? In a few years, my parents are going to adopt a puppy, so I'm excited when the time comes. ^^

Hey~ ^^ Alls ben well and boring on my end, aside rom the mysterious disapearance of my roleplaying site (roleplayersguild.com). You?

no i ment in the poems

*throws an elephant at you* >D

Math and spanish

Well here I am. Late, but on. Hope to see ya. I will be here all night. so ignore it if it says I am offline. I'm not. I'm here.
