Someone switched their vote and now I'm sad ? Edit: So anyway. Warrior Lady was actually the first ygo girl that sparked ny interest. Even the classic dmg didn't. Something really cool and pretty about her design.

Would you rather eat something dry that's supposed to be wet or something wet that's supposed to be dry?

Words, Words, Words

Team Showdown, Temple of Time and Space Isole looked to where Taiga vanished. To Scarlet. And back again. She noticed how Scarlet was reacting to the disappearance. Though honestly she wasn't nearly as affected. Something was weird about all this and as far as she could tell Taiga didn't want to die. She may be stupid sometimes but she didn't figure the girl would do that without cause. So, as Scarlet went the other way, Isole shrugged and stepped off the path. "I really hate this place!" "It sucks." Isole agreed. She was standing next to Taiga. Appearing only a moment after Taiga did. Though it took her longer to follow. "I think Scarlet is stuck. Might as well keep going though." The inside of the temple was nearly empty. There were stone columns all around but beyond that there was just a single structure near the middle of the room. Steps that led up to a platform overlooking the area. The floor in that area itself also seemed somewhat different. There were a large amount of massive panels in an almost perfect square. There seemed to be one panel missing and, looking closer, the panels seemed to make up some kind of image that was broken apart. --- As Scarlet went the other way she found that she almost immediately ended up near the opening once more. As she looked out of it it would seem to simple be a window to the outside. Except that what she saw outside of it was....her. And the others. Standing with the elder looking towards the opening. Just like they had been before coming in. Team Mac, Ogren "Or you could've been even slower." "Wanna try it? We could race right now and find out!" Mac declared, before calming down slightly to listen to what Kazo's mom had to say. "Yeah that's right!" Mac said. "He wasn't really all that much though. We totally showed him up didn't we, Ari?" She nudged the boy a bit roughly. "Well, what say you, Mac?" Mac thought about it. "I kinda wanna get going..." Her stomach rumbled at that moment. "But it might be nice to have some food before we go at least. Yeah, let's do that, c'mon everyone time for a break." They went inside and got all settled in while they waited patiently. In Mac's case for only a few seconds before she began bouncing in place. "So. What's for dinner? Is it gonna take a while?" She asked. "Man, I'm starved, aren't you guys hungry too?" Team Neo Not Dark, Merm Palace "We return Phione to her mother, and then..." "We have a picnic?" Phione declared. Hands still holding onto the bubble as they sped through the water. Dora ended up getting a bit dizzy and decided to flop down on the bottom of the bubble. Sinking down slightly as her weight displaced the area of the bubble slightly. "I'm pretty sure looking for him is going to throw me headfirst into this Godslayer business, and I'm sure Brooke wants to stay out of it, for Dora's sake," That caused Dora to speak up. "I wanna help too though!" She said, struggling to roll onto her back in order to look over at Denku. They continued on without much trouble. Despite the soldiers that had been surrounding the area before there didn't seem to be any as far as they could see. Possibly they had been pulled away to stop them from escaping through the other, known, exits. Whatever the case they seemed to have lucked out. Dora's nerves were nonexistent as she began to name all the fish that they passed by on the way. Though it was likely she was making them up as the names were things like "Big squarey fish" and "That weird red fishy". It took some time before anything major changed. And that was when Phione fell backwards. "I'm gonna sleep now." and the bubble stopped its movement entirely. Simply floating there. And then they group saw something approach. Small, with a slight glow around it. A concerned looking woman swam up towards the bubble. She was staring at Phione, barely even paying attention to the others and, wordlessly, entered the bubble and picked the child up. Then she glanced up at the others with a nervous expression and began to back away. Team Karaoke, Alpha "No, I'm the one at fault," "N-no, it was...me." Kayla said softly, blushing slightly. A Legend. She had made a Legend run into her. She was silent and backed away as Shaymin explained everything. Seemingly fading from view. After hearing what the girl had to say Kayla felt a tremor through her body. "Um." She spoke up at last. "I...fought someone...not long ago. He was very strong. Strong enough to destroy a city. I, um, didn't want to fight him." She paused, shivering. "But I had to or he'd hurt...everyone else. S-so, doing it again should be...easy." Gwen let out a sigh of relief as she noticed Shaymin seem to stick around. The Bisharp beside her nodded slightly and looked to relax as well. Though his version of relaxed was much different. "It seems there was nothing to worry about." Gwen said. "For now." Came the response.

Yo if I had space for it I'd have so much crap by now

As the dinner went on Gabby began to feel more and more relaxed about the night. It really seemed like it was going well. She was certain it wouldn't, and certain questions about her "homeland" still made her feel queasy with worry and guilt, but things seemed to be...good. Really good. It was going to be a nice night. She didn't know why she thought this but she just felt it in her bones. As that thought crossed her mind she thought about her deck and the unintentional, if a stretch of one, pun made her giggle slightly on the way to the hall. She noticed Melissa beside her giving a quizzical glance and she shook her head. "No, it's just...bones, skeletons...ah...nothing, nothing, never mind." She should feel embarrassed by the awkward statement but she just felt really good at the moment. Which just caused her to laugh again. "Tonight is a lovely night isn't it?" Upon entering the Maiden Hall Gabby was rather astonished. So much so she let out an audible "Whoa." When she remembered who she was supposed to be she cleared her throat. "T-that is, it's passable I suppose. For such a small gathering." Even so she couldn't keep away the shine in her eyes as she looked around. It was so big! Is this what rich people lived in? She noticed the platforms on the second floor and remembered that a couple of her teammates -or was it clubmates?- were supposed to duel up there to start things off. "Ah, yes, there is to be a battle to commemorate this night. Between two of those lucky enough to share a team with me. We should find a good place to watch. I must show support to those beneath me, yes? And it would be good to see what level of duelist they are." She took Melissa by the hand and led her up to the second floor and to one of the balconies. Only once there did a thought cross her mind. "Ah, but you aren't all that interested in the duel team are you? I did not mean to force my desires upon you. After all I may be of royalty but tonight I am also your companion."

Is there a lot? I think i have 3 i dislike in total

hi yes that was me

There was a brief moment. As the two gnolls were struck with the ranged weapons. A moment where nothing happened. And then they all, with the two wounded trailing behind, charged. Letting out a chorus of whoops they brandished their shortspears and ran full speed at the group. Keres scrambled, with some difficulty, onto the right most wagon. Wading through the pile of vegetables she managed to get some semblance of balance as the gnolls reached the rest. Ryia and Reinaan would be mere feet from the larger of the groups of gnolls. They would have mere moments to react before the beast-men were upon them. The Water Chosen was more focused on the group of five coming in from the side. They seemed to be moving slower than the others. More carefully. Which made her concerned. Thinking they intended to wait until everyone was dealing with the charge and then coming in from behind. Coming up with a plan on the spot Keres created some water and, instead of launching it at the gnollls, picked up several of the vegetables in the cart and, using the water as a sling, began to throw the vegetables at the group. Slowing them down as they became pummeled by the fresh produce. Over on the other side Geoff gave a laugh and hopped off of his buffalo. Patting the mount he said "Hold, my friend, you can sit out of this one." The buffalo then moved towards the wagon Pyrrha was on and began to eat from it without a care in the world. As the four gnolls closed in he charged right into the group. Not caring as he got semi surrounded. As the gnolls tried to advance he swung his polearm in an arc, forcing them back. Then, with another laugh, rushed forward and slammed the end of his weapon on one of the gnoll's feet. Then, with a circular swing, knocked them off their feet. As one of the gnolls approached from behind and attempted to stab their spear into his back Geoff thrust his polearm backwards and hit the gnoll with the blunt end in the chest, knocking that gnoll off his feet too. Meanwhile the leader of the pack stayed in position. Watching the proceedings with one clawed hand in the matted fur of the beast beneath him. If anyone were to pay attention you would see what looked like a smile on his face.

How do you feel about carrot cake?

Happy Birthday!!! What kind of cake do you prefer?

Adding Sishunder Aqua Spirit

Leftovers was how we stretched out food and money to last. Make big batches with cheaper stuff and eat it through several days.

Rona noticed first when the peaceful night took a turn. She was already on her feet when Leon called to get ready and was halfway to Cormag when the creature let out a howl. This beast was unlike the others. Not only for its size. It was, frankly, terrifying. What could her axe do to something that looked so insubstantial? But Rona knew one thing. She had to kill it. Cormag, as the monster roared, took off towards his rider and landed in front of her. Refocusing her on the present. "Thank you my friend." She muttered, climbing atop of him. "Falcons!" Leon shouted. "Let's go!" "I'll clear a path, just stay behind me!" Rona followed up. The battlefield was, thankfully, spacious enough for Cormag to accompany her. Though there were still patches of dense trees that would be impossible to travel through. There were foes directly in front of them. Walking corpses, zombies, wielding weapons in their rotting hands. One, a lance holder, was far too close to Leon for comfort. Drawing her Bronze Axe, Rona urged Cormag straight forward and swung her axe, tearing into the monster's flesh, carving a path through its shoulder and partially into its chest. The softness of the bodies was disturbing. Had it been a regular human the blow would have slain them but the monster still seemed prepared to fight. With the number of these creatures in this area she imagined this fight could take some time. Could she hold out? If that...thing attacked her, would she be able to stave it off? Rona clenched her teeth as she fought the urge to tremble. Alexis felt pretty good. True, things weren't necessarily going perfectly as planned, but she had a good feeling that there would be plenty of opportunities to see love blossom within this group. Though it seemed that a strange and vicious beast wanted to make that more difficult. She noticed that the creature seemed to hone in on specific members of their group. Very specific. Mysteriously, suspiciously, specific. It only added to her concerns that these things were growing in frequency and strength. Leon called for battle and, though she wasn't technically a member, she wasn't about to sit this out. "Tana!" She called out for her Pegasus. The girl took a few steps forward and noticed Edda, staring in fear. Putting a hand on the girl's shoulder she declared. "No worries. Whatever it is, it's not confident enough to take us alone. That means we can bring it down." With that said she got up onto Tana's back and moved into position. Given how the trees were laid out she couldn't get a perfect view of the field but it was enough to identify where the threats were. There was an easy target off to the left...but that would leave her open. The path to the right looked to be a more suitable path, yet she couldn't reach there right away. Decision made the girl flew off towards the tree line. Using it as cover and watching through the gaps to see the enemy's movements. From here she could decide how to attack. She made sure to make room for one of the ranged fighters to reach the monsters on the other side, calling out "Use the trees to your advantage. They won't be able to easily cross and we can take em out as they try and maneuver around them." These foes were many, and fierce, but if they were careful...they could win.

Valerie and Pip v.s. Yuuka and Yuri Yuuka...Yuuka...what was her Quirk again? She only really remembered that the girl was rather quiet. Not very heroic seeming. She thought perhaps the girl was kind? Though that could only be because she didn't stand out as much as some of the more outgoing students. In the end what really mattered was if Valerie thought they could beat her. And since no one in her class got to that level she wasn't too concerned. "So it's just a couple other students? No problem, thought we'd have to fight a teacher or something. This'll be a snap." "Yuri's kinda bouncy...hard to get a read on her. But her quirk's pretty simple. She just makes super dense smoke...but it's kinda like a 'her world' type deal in the smoke...you know?" "Not sure I get it but..." Valerie turned to face the two directly, standing straight and proud, "all I gotta do is blow whatever they send my way back right?" Having said that one of her arms reignited, though not to the same extent as before. She had to take care of this fast. She couldn't imagine she had much more in her. And while she could she would prefer not to have to show herself in that state. The ground rumbled and she had to crouch a bit to keep her balance. As they stood there green turf rose up from the ground. The same could be said for the entire room. Even beyond the entire room it seemed. As the room began to stretch out, to more resemble the rectangular sports field it was becoming. The faux-grass ended up covering the entire room. On both ends of the field the ground, in a small square, slid open and soccer nets popped up. Each with a picture of Hitosume's face, giving an exaggerated wink, on top. As they stood there something fell down from the ceiling and hit the middle of the field. A simple, plain, soccer ball. It hit the turf and bounced. Once. Twice. On the third bounce Valerie made her move. She started running towards the pair and, with a grunt, shot out a gout of flames rushing towards the other girl. The one from the other class. She would end this before it began.

"Is that geodude all you've got, or can you keep fighting?" "Ha, of course not! You haven't even met my ace yet! This guy won't lose to anyone! C'mon, go Machop!" Kenta sent out his next Pokeball to reveal the humanoid Fighting type Pokemon. The Machop, as soon as he saw Kanon, started to flex as if showing off. Kenta laughed at his Pokemon's antics. "C'mon man, you can show how strong you are by fighting, go on, Karate Chop!" The Machop went directly from flexing to diving towards Bubbles and aiming a powerful downward chop at the Poliwag. --- "If we can't get up close without getting whipped, we'll keep you at a distance instead! Archie, light him up with a Thundershock!" "Tch, don't you know anything about typing?" Chad said, crossing his arms and smirking condescendingly at Oswald. "Bellsprout you can take that, just use another Growth." As Chad said the electric attack hit Bellsprout and, while it was a direct hit, didn't seem to affect the Grass-type much. "Now, Vine Whip again. Sorry dude this is gonna hurt." At least it would, if it had got off. However as the Bellsprout prepared to attack its body seized up in paralyses. "Damn, rotten luck. Shake it off Bellsprout you only need a couple hits off, he can't out damage you!" --- "Horn Attack." Naomi said to Princess, confident that the Rhyhorn was able to get the attack off. Unfortunately she was still struggling with the smoke and her attack went wide without even the trainer having to say anything. At another simple command the Horsea shot out more bubbles at Princess and the Rhyhorn seemed to struggle to stay up. Naomi frowned. This wasn't going well. She vaguely remembered that she was supposed to try harder. But what was she supposed to do? She heard the girl call out for a third Bubble attack and then it hit her. "Towards the bubbles, Horn Attack." Princess grunted and waited for a moment. As she heard the bubbles coming out of the Horsea she lunged in that direction and slammed her horn into the smaller Pokemon. The Rhyhorn was still peppered with the Bubble attack and, having taking several strong hits, simply dropped down. "Dang." Naomi said. "Well, you hit it, good job Princess." She said and returned the Pokemon. "Guess it's up t'you." Then sent out her last Pokemon, the Hoppip, Knight. "Should have switched right away." Fuyumi said. And gave a slight sigh at Naomi's confused look.

Girl's Night "Well, I need to know where to sleep anyway. So let's get going and meet this mystery person." Morgan grinned. "Very well, then let us be off!" She was a bit sad that the girl scout would be coming along. She was bound to ruin any potential fun Morgan would have with the Grand Reveal. But she could still try couldn't she? On the way there she told the girl, "Just be sure not to stare too much. Who knows what would happen to you if you did. But I'm sure it'll be fine....probably." Upon reaching the arena they found that the arena itself was closed for the night. "I always wondered what it is like after dark...maybe some other day." They had to enter through the apartment doors instead. Entering the, still rather unusual, elevator, with its many buttons going in directions beyond up and down, Morgan brought them to the lowest level where the security station was. "We should probably stay back." Morgan told Aurora. "I'm sure it will want to talk to her herself. You know. To make sure she isn't a problem." With that she directed Ross towards the security station. No one was there but, if Ross hit the button that was labelled "If service is needed, Gnash, the beholder security guard, would lower from an opening on the ceiling of the security station, having been on another floor, and turned towards the girl. With its many eyes, large, sharp, teeth, Gnash looked completely monstrous. Even his grin, meant to be friendly, would appear more savage and hungry. And then he opened his mouth.

"No no. It'll break through the walls and go to all the sides of the room!" "That's, um..." Cora was going to say that wouldn't happen. But truth be told the walls weren't all that strong. So the girl couldn't help but glance back at the wyvern with a bit of unease. Maybe it could break through? She doubted it'd eat them but...she'd rather not have her parents come back only to have to explain why they were missing a wall. “I don’t know why you’re so afraid of Peaches here, but she won’t burst through the wall, and she’s not nasty.” This should have made the girl more at ease but then she followed it with saying that the wyvern had a habit of doing things without its rider's consent. She knew how strong Abel was and knew that when he got something in mind it was hard to stop him. "Er...You sure she won't get....overeager?" Cora asked. "If she, ya know, really, reeeally wanted to get in?" "Now that we're all in one place, we should search the village and find out why it became like this. However, it would be prudent to meet up with the other three first. They should still be at the square, unless they have moved on." Cora jumped a little. The tone the girl used reminded her of the militia captain and she found herself snapping to attention for a moment. Relaxing as she remembered where she was she rubbed the back of her head awkwardly, hoping no one noticed. "Hey, um, I was thinking. If all the villagers are gone, what about the animals? That is the animals that were here before. My, um, friend has a horse named Cain you see. If we find him, maybe that'll tell us...something?" “Um… Other than a few times I’ve had to eat it because it’s all Peaches and I could come up with, I’d say that Raw Meat is… Kinda bad.” "Hm, hm, I see I see. So it hasn't gone that far...perhaps it takes more time. Or maybe it's only if you go into combat with them? Interesting, interesting...." Penelope could tell that Citron was feeling awkward. Truly, as a diplomat, she should stop. However this girl was just a simple traveler. It was refreshing to talk to someone she didn't know who she didn't have to worry about appeasing. It had been a while. So she was more than willing to continue with the conversation to see just how the girl would react. "Penelope you should get away from it! They're nasty, and eat people whole. And then your horses. And then your crops!" "It's okay, Tsetseg, I don't have a horse nor any crops!" She tilted her head, and tapped the side of her head with a finger, pretending to be thinking it over. "Though I suppose right now you all would be included in the 'people' portion. But I'm sure we'll be fine. It's not the first time I've almost been eaten, anyway, as you know." Citron used the opportunity to slip away and before Penelope could try and continue Catriona remarked that they should move out. The younger princess's face grew more serious as she nodded. "Yes, I'd like to see things for myself. Whatever happened here is most troublesome and I'd like to find a solution soon. Perhaps Gunther and the others have learned something." Gunther couldn't help but feel a bit proud he had managed to decipher what the animals were trying to say. Even if he felt that it might've been easier had they been real animals. But wait, if there were people running around that were animals what about the beaver that they had encountered before. The ones that he had been petting, especially...His eyes trailed to the beaver that was following them around. At the actions he grew curious so, as the trio set out to meet up with the others, asked them "Is something the matter? Apologies if I'm prying but you seem...upset. Though, I suppose anyone turning into an animal is bound to be upset...." He looked up at Shiro. "No offense intended."

As if some god got impatient the rest of the day seemed to simply speed by for everyone in MechA cademy. The day turned to night and then, as it always does, turned back to day again. Kelsey groaned as she heard her alarm go off and threw something at it. This, unfortunately, didn't serve to do anything but knock it off the desk. And so it lay there beeping and beeping. Another groan. "Ahhh, Stella the thing won't shut up." It was then she remembered she wasn't in a room with Stella and that, in fact, she had an entirely different roommate. The memory stirred her to get up and out of bed. Then she saw what she had thrown at the alarm. It was her arm. She laughed awkwardly and avoided eye contact with her roommate as she struggled to get the arm back onto her body. She vaguely remembered receiving a message from the school stating that everyone was to gather on a field attached to the gymnasium to have a meet and greet with the teachers. That's right. Tomorrow classes actually started. She had gotten used to waking up when she wanted but soon enough she'd have to go back to a regular schedule. Sighing at this realization she took extra time to get ready to go. Even if she didn't actually have much to do. The school had a uniform but it wasn't required, and the uniform was pretty much a glorified tracksuit anyway, so she just threw on her everyday clothing and set out. The gathering place was a giant field. It somewhat resembled a football field but much more vast. Clearly made with mech in mind rather than regular people. There was even giant goalposts at each end, though no clear end zone, and stadium seating lining the edges. They had been loaded up onto a large, flat, floating device that brought them out into the middle of the field. It was uncertain why they had to go there for this, perhaps to give a scope of the place, or perhaps just because it felt more cinematic. Either way they were dropped off in front of a small group of people who were standing behind the vice principal. "Good. You are all here. No need for role-call I have already memorized all of your faces and know that there are no one missing. No one that would be missed at least. I will make this brief. This group of fine and talented individuals are the people hand-picked by our principal to teach at this school. You are to treat them with utmost respect at all times. Some of them may seem young but they are the best at what they do, each and every one of them. Now, stay silent as they introduce themselves." The first was a middle-aged man. Stocky, but not muscular. With rectangular glasses and a fatherly smile. "Hello, my name is Dalton John, or Mr. John I suppose. Please, no toilet humor." He gave a pause and looked around, as if expecting laughter, before continuing. "Ahem, I teach General Education. I know, not the most exciting thing, but I assure you it's entirely important to know the basics in life. And I look forward t-" He was cut off as a small, black and white, dog popped out from the back of his shirt. How no one noticed the bulge was unknown but the dog immediately ran towards the students and began weaving between them, stopping every once in a while to be pet. "Mr John." the vice principal said, a warning tone in her voice. "I thought I said to leave that thing in your room." "I did, I did, oh the rascal must've slipped on board. Quite the expert stowaway he is." He knelt down and held his hand out and the dog ran back towards him. "Aren't you?" He said, baby-voiced, "aren't you a little stowaway?" The vice principal cleared her throat and Dalton nodded, scooped the dog up, and stood. "Er, well, that's all then. Suppose I should stop now before I get put in the dog house." another pause for a laugh before he chuckled to himself and backed into line again. The next to step up was a rather unusual sight. Someone you'd see in ancient documentaries about cowboys rather than an elite mecha school. She tipped her hat at the vice principal, who was looking on with barely contained contempt, before looking towards the students. "Howdy! The name's Charlotte. Charlotte McCarty. But y'all can just call me Miss Charlotte. I'm the history teacher in these parts. I bet y'all think history is just dusty books and stuff but I'm here to show you it's a lot more than that. Why just last week I was tunnelin' through some ruins and found an ancient mummy curse..." At the sharp gaze from the vice principal she laughed. "Guess I'll save that one for class, when the boss lady isn't watchin like a hawk." She winked at the students. "We're gonna have ourselves a real good time this year, promise." After that came a tall and powerful looking man. Somewhere between standing in line and stepping up to address the crowd he had lost his shirt and his rippling muscles were full on display. "YO!" He shouted out. "I'M JAX, THE MAX, BENTON! Don't forget it! I'm here to make sure you SCRAWNY WIMPS turn into REAL MEN by the end of the year. Anyone who thinks physical education doesn't matter to a pilot is an ABSOLUTE JOKE! I won't rest until you can fight off mechs WITH YOUR FISTS!" His eyes darted around the group. "BY NEXT YEAR YOU'LL ALL BE AS STRONG AS ME, JAX, THE MAX, BENTON!" With that he stepped back into line, shirt mysteriously back on, and the vice principal stared, stunned for a moment, before nodding to the next person. Lighting a cigarette before slowly approaching the next teacher had black hair and was wearing a bulky track suit. She looked at the crowd and sighed, kicking the ground absently. "Lilith Malkin, Mech Combat instructor. Just call me Malkin. I doubt any of you have what it takes but I guess I'm supposed to try and make sure you don't get yourself, or any innocents, killed. I'll be real if you can't handle my class you shouldn't be here. And if I catch anyone failing and trying to go rogue and pilot a mech anyway." She took a long drag of her cigarette then stared straight ahead at them. "I'll kill ya." With that she moved on back into position with the rest. There was a long pause while the last, rather familiar, face stared off into the distance. Only when the vice principal approached her and said something into her ear did she perk up. She took a couple steps forward, not nearly as close to the students as the rest had, and inclined her head. "I'm Florence Patete. Call me whatever. I teach Mechanics. Can I go now I've got projects to work on." The vice principal sighed. "You have to give them the devices." Florence stared at the other woman for a few moments before slowly nodding. "Right. Those things." She pressed a button on a remote and a large tray, held up by some kind of floating semi-sphere, moved towards the students. Each with a name on them, one for each student, they appeared to be some sort of bracket with a large dome on it. "Squeeze the bracelet. The dome opens. Press the button. Your mech will come for you.....As long as its within range...and not broken....and you're alive." She paused. "I guess if you're not alive you can't press the button." Another pause. "I might have to fix that. Maybe a dead person will want their mech." She started muttering to herself, not moving from her spot, and the vice principal moved in front of her. "And there you have it. These will be the teachers that you'll learn from the rest of your time here. Any questions ask them now. Otherwise you're dismissed."
