Flux 3668-9057-6019 Flying Woobat, Farfetch'd, ??? Pretty dang good, right?

Nope. Just me again. Alplha?

No, I'm back again. I have a habit of randomly taking large breaks. Cobra?

I've posted in Group 2 since nobody seemed to be doing anything... Watches can probably start now. I'm thinking that it's probably time to move on without Es in group 1 as well. From now on, there will be a 5 day waiting period until your character is removed unless you notify me that you won't be able to post. Hopefully that works for eveyone. Let me know if not, and We'll see what we can do. Just post! We've barely started, and it's already slowing down.

Rhea sighed. It appeared that no one was interested in telling a story due to the silence, and Roland had already prepared his bedroll. She guessed that it was to be expected. They were certainly tired from the walking, as well as dealing with bandits on the first day. She had just been trying to lighten the tension. "Well, since it appears that no one is interested, I guess I'll call it a night," Rhea said to the group, pulling out her own bedroll. "Hold up. What happened to me telling a story?" The gruff voice belonged to Nash. He appeared to be scraping out the last bits of the stew from his bowl. "You said if they didn't want to, I could." He was talking through a mouthful of food. "Right?" Rhea smiled. "Well, I suppose I did. Let's hear it then," ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nash swallowed the last of his stew. "Hmm... Which story to tell...?" he said, thinking. "Well... I suppose I'll tell an old favorite. The legend of the hero, Lagerius. It's certainly suitable for the crisis we're in right now." He cleared his throat. "Now, as you all probably know, Lagerius was around during the Demon Age. This was well before any of our modern cities were built, back when demons roamed the land. There were many battles between the allied forces (Made up of the humans, Shantii, Vanda, and elves), and the demons led by their king, Craes." "The Dok didn't participate in this war," he said, looking towards Megaira. "I don't think the other races even knew they existed yet, honestly.... Perhaps they didn't. Anyway, back to the story. I'll tell the tale of one of the battles -- the most important battle that ended the war -- The Battle of the Blackened Plains. "The previous battles in the war between demons and humans had weakened both sides tremendously. However, the allied forces had finally reached a point where victory was within reach. They had cornered Craes' forces on the Blackend Plains, between the allied armies and the Knotted Mountains. Despite this, the demons were fighting back stronger than ever. It appeared that the alliance might be defeated. That was when Lagerius left the main fray along with his friend and mage, Grist. They tore through the ranks of the demons, using the might of Lagerius's sword and Grist's magic, slowly approaching the plateau where the demon king rested. Eventually, they reached the bottom of the plateau, and climbed the spiral path, chiseled by magic, to the top. The sky was dark, and there was a great storm overhead. This plateau would be the deciding point of the war. A battle between the greatest of the demons, and the best warriors the alliance had to offer. The demon king's back was turned to the two. Without turning, he laughed a dark laugh before saying: 'So this is it. You think by defeating me here, you can save this world? Ha! Look around you. It is already destroyed by war. Besides...' the demon king turned, 'You won't be leaving here alive!' With that, the battle began. As the battle between demon and man dragged on, the outlook appeared more and more hopeless. Even with the support of Grist, Lagerius's attacks seemed to have no effect on the demon. Grist's magic was the same. Meanwhile, Lagerius was wearing down and receiving injuries as his movements slowed. 'Grist,' Lagerius said, 'use it. It's the only way we can have a chance of winning this war. I'll stall him long enough... and provide the necessary cost. My power should be enough...' Grist started to protest, then solemnly nodded. He knew it was the only way. Lagerius spoke again. 'I have received a prophecy...my last one to deliver. Please here it.' Lagerius began, When all hope seems lost, he shall arrive, He shall come to the tiered city, ragged in appearance and with hair as bright as the full moon, But a small boy, his power shall be great, Train him, and he shall deliver the world from the greatest evil it has known. When Lagerius finished, he gave a short nod to Grist before returning to battle. Grist took out the magic scroll they had received from the elven mages prior to the battle. It was to be used only as a last resort. Grist began to chant, while Lagerius used his remaining energy to keep the demon king at bay. As Grist finished the chant, he shouted, 'Craes, daenic deth wrathi...VANESHTA!!' A rope of light reached between the scroll and Lagerius, before extending to Craes. As it connected to the demon, the rope turned startlingly black. The demon king let out a scream of agony, and Grist released the magic. A pillar of light and fire appeared around him, before exploding outward. Grist's vision went black for a long time, and when it finally returned, he found himself to be the only one remaining on the battlefield. The soldiers of both sides were nowhere to be seen. The plains had been charred black by the blast, hence the name "Battle of the Blackened Plains." Grist wept tears of happiness for the war finally having ended, and sorrow at the loss of so many lives. He returned home, and Lagerius's prophecy has been passed down through his decendents ever since." "At least, that's how the story goes," Nash said to the group. "I don't hold any belief in the truth of it, but hey, you never know. Anyway, I'm pretty tired now, and I have 3rd watch, so I' like to get some rest. 'Night everyone." --------------------------------------------------- Rhea smiled as she walked over to her bedroll. That story was one of her favorites. A sad twist at the end, but a victory overall. It was a bittersweet story, and a good one, even though Nash wasn't the best of storytellers. She thought of how she would like to be as strong as the heroes as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Gillem was winded. He was not used to dancing, and it was especially difficult in his heavy armor. Still, he was glad he had participated. He felt like he had come to know Eleriese much better -- like a connection through dancing. However, the music had now ended, and most people had already left to their business after thanking Olrien. He looked around. He knew Eleriese and Olrien were both here due to their participation. Kho didn't appear to have moved an inch from where he was standing when the dance began. He looked for Braius, before eventually spotting the tall Shantii's head in the dwindling crowd. It appeared that Es was the only one unaccounted for. Gillem wondered where the elf could possibly be. They had spent a lot of time dancing, (actually too much time, now that he thought about it) and Es still didn't appear to have arrived, unless he was among the last group of people left in the crowd. He frowned, then walked over towards Olrien. He would just have to wait for the crowd to completely dissipate, then look for Es. "That was some nice playing," Gillem said, trying to catch Olrien's attention. "You were definitely being modest when you said elves don't have much talent for music." He gave an earnest smile. "With you and Eleriese along, it's almost like having our own private troupe. I'll have to call on your talent again sometime."

Yeah, I was kind of waiting for Subkoopa. I figured he would have to show up some time during this dance, so I was waiting for him to post.. I suppose I'll just end it now anyway. If he doesn't post anything soon, we'll just have to continue with out him and say Es changed his mind or something. It's hard to tell if he's been on because his activity settings are private. ._. On a side note, I want your opinions on the pace of the story. Am I moving it too slowly? I like to go into detail, but I don't want to bore you all. Also, the map is in the works, and I lied about it. I ended up making it fairly complicated. Here's a preview: Obviously, I still need to add deserts, snow, forests, mountains, and cities. I've been having some trouble with some of it, but I hope to have it done soon. On another side note, when your character is standing watch, I'm going to pretty much leave what happens up to you. Use it as a time to develop backstory for your character, make bandits or something attack, make it calm and peaceful, whatever. Just keep it within reason. Obviously, it's unlikely that something will attack every night, or every watch.

Quite the contrary. I am death itself, not a person. Alpha.

Don't forget about Garchomp... QQ

Cyndaquil of course. It's my all-time favorite, despite popular belief.

Electrode. You evolved.

Well I suppose that could work. I'm willing to help if you want, then.

Woooo!!!! Noibat is available!!! Also, Macho Brace in Episode 11? Pwease?

I'd personally be sad to see any character go. It might just be me, but I hate it when fighting games remove characters. Some people have worked with those characters, grown to like them, and mained them, and then when they're removed they need to start all over again. Granted, I'll definitely be playing the new characters too, especially Megaman, but if Marth (My main) were to go, Smash Bros. wouldn't be the same experience for me.

Nope. I'm here 1 post late. Banana?

Flux entered the healing room just as Sarcus was leaving. As they passed, Flux thought Sarcus seemed a bit shaken, but didn't press the matter. He had plenty of secrets of his own. Then there was a message over the intercom. "Please be in meeting room #2 in five minutes." Flux sighed. He still needed to heal Ogre, and he had no idea where meeting room #2 was. They sure weren't giving him much time. He quickly placed Ogre's Heavy Ball in the machine and waited as the Aggron was healed. He thought back to the battle with Sarcus as he waited. "He was definitely a good trainer. He's obviously battled plenty with Absolution before. Unfortunately, I don't have that sort of experience with Ogre. The only reason I even managed to pull even with him was due to Ogre's natural abilty, high defenses, and love for battle. At least he seemed to enjoy himself." Flux shook his head. "I don't want to be a hindrance to the rest of the team. I'll have to practice battling with Ogre more often now." There was a dinging noise signaling that Ogre's healing was done. Flux quickly grabbed the Heavy Ball and started through the hallways, looking for meeting room #2.

I kind of feel the same way. Still, I suppose I'm fairly interested.

MOAR video game music. But don't worry, I'll always try to bring the best.

Yes, Dissidia!!! Aggron

Why does everyone hate Muk... Don't worry Muk, I still love you... Now on to the ones I hate... Be warned, there are a lot. Litleo - I don't have a problem with Pyroar, but Litleo's eyes are just...wrong. They don't seem to fit with the rest of the Pokemon. Fennekin's Evos - I'm not a big fan of how these turned out. I expected much better than foxes wearing dresse/skirts standing on two legs. Chespin and Evos - Just poor design in my opinion. Spritzee/Aromatisse - Dat nose. Swirlix/Slurpuff - Just... Cupcakes? Helioptile - Frilled lizards are so cool! There was so much potential for a cool Pokemon, but Helioptile let me down. Gourgeist - I was actually thinking of designing a Jack-O-Lanturn fakemon before X and Y came out. Pumpkaboo lived up to my expectations, but Gourgeist is just ugly. Avalugg - I just hate how its sooo flat on top. It almost looks like a graphical glitch, like something got cut off. --------------------------------------------------------------- Alright, enough hate on Gen 6. Most of the other Pokemon it introduced are actually really cool, like Noivern, Yveltal, and others. Gen 1 escapes judgment. I'm probably biased since they're what I grew up on, but I'm happy with all of them. After looking, so does Gen. 2. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Volbeat/Illumise - I've just never been a fan of these two. They always just seemed weird and annoying. Spinda - I just hate it. Watchog - Needs no explanation as posted earlier. Arceus - I just don't like the idea of a god-Pokemon. Besides, didn't they use to say that Mew was the first Pokemon? Genesect - What even is this thing?

I've tried this, but it doesn't work. Also, there is music from the game that's not included in the files, though they might just be slowed down versions of the original songs. (Not positive on that... there could be others that I don't remember.) In conclusion, I don't think the game actually reads the music files from that folder.

It is I, the guy. Banana, I call upon thee.
