After quite the spectacle at one of the coming-of-age ceremonies the Plane of Pride finds itself in outrage. According to some rumors, a god had appeared and stolen a child out of the ceremony. There were also the rumors that a young man was going to take a group of children to challenge this god. He sounded insane, but most were willing to sit by and let him be the insane one. However, several children heard of this and went in search of him, hoping to lend their aid. They found that in fact two children had been kidnapped, and that the group assisting in their return were not just a group of any children but the friends of those that had been taken. Still, the young man wasn't one to turn down a little extra help... Tobias Hartford's House, Plane of Pride Tobias didn't have a large house. In fact, it was merely a single room built over some ruins. The kids had all crowded in to the cramped room with the proprietor, and now sat uncomfortably on the large woven rug that covered the floor. Their host sat cross-legged in the corner furthest from the door, and hadn't budged at all since his guests entered. It was making the whole group rather restless. Their unflinching host and his drab room seemed so out of place for children who had grown up in what equated to luxury in this unforgiving land. Even the white walls of a cold laboratory felt more welcoming than this place. After a couple minutes of awkward silence, Tobias finally spoke up. "You all seem anxious." He said without opening his eyes, "We'll start with some breathing exercises then, calm your nerves before we begin our planning. I'm sure you've all been through this before during your training, so I won't explain the how, simply follow my lead. In..." Tobias took a slow, deep breath. "And out." He exhaled at a similar pace. He repeated this a couple times until everyone was doing it, and then simply sat there breathing as the children followed along. Even those who were annoyed by the exercise did find it somewhat calming. Yet still, meditative breathing wasn't what they had come for, and the air of nervousness remained.

I lied, life happened. The RP has finally begun and you should expect far more consistent updates from here on out

This Ekko hurt to play against. But hey, I got Mastery 6 Annie

Is not hard to win, you must simply know the strategeries. Such as this: 1. Play Poppo 2. Be annoying 3. ??? 4. Profit Anyways, I threw a friend request at you, if I can catch you online when I exist then maybe we can play some games

Yo, I know fer a fact there's other people 'round these parts that play OJ, but I ain't seen anyone talkin' 'bout it so I thought I oughta go an' make a thread 'bout it. (...I just noticed that I typed that in an accent, oops, perhaps I'm too tired for this.) In the likely case you don't already play OJ, lemme give you a quick run-down. It's a multiplayer board game in the vein of Mario Party, but replacing minigames with dice. There's cute grills and also a couple dudes (but not Kyousuke, Kyousuke is clearly a woman). It's a rather fun bottle of randomness and pure, unadulterated salt. The Steam page is here if you wanna check it out: http://store.steampowered.com/app/282800/ Personally I've spent 120 hours on OJ, currently level... 43? I've beaten all but one of the Breaker's stories on normal. I main Saki, Kiriko, and to a lesser extent Kae. I'm KosherKitten/MasterWeavile898 (I can never remember which actually finds me) on Steam and I usually play a few games every day if you wanna try and join me. Some balance thoughts... NoName needs to give 1/4th stars on both deaths, rather than just getting out free on the first one. Kiriko seems way too limited in card options. Syura is much more fun to play as and against after recent changes. Nath feels too consistent. Krila is always stronk. Sweebo is sadly rather boring. 7gull is OPOP. And Poppo always wins.

It's not secularism if you're trying to remove religion entirely But I suppose if she's actually perfectly secular then I just have another reason to support her, no? Also I actually don't see a problem with Islamism in the middle east right now. Those are Islamic states, and while I think Islamism is a bad thing, I also think it has the right to work itself out without outside meddling

Unfortunately, this is starting to look like the way things are. While I have nothing against the practice of Islam as a religion nor the Muslims who practice it, I do very strongly believe in secularism and Islamism as a political ideology directly rejects secularism. I've come to realize, however, that there's not a very thick line between the two. If Muslims wish to participate in western society, I think they're going to have to reject some of their values. ~~~ As for Macron and Le Pen, I actually think Le Pen has a shot at winning. I don't think she will, but I don't think it's as set in stone as some people seem to think. With the massive tantrum the EU has been throwing after Brexit, I'd personally support Le Pen over Macron because he's pro-EU. It doesn't help that he's a socialist either, which is something I'm definitely not ~~despite what that one game says.~~ I also have my qualms with Le Pen though. Particularly how her attitude towards Islam is extremely paranoid, far beyond disavowing it as a political ideology. I'm concerned that she'll place heavy restrictions on its practice or even attempt to ban it entirely. (Again, I'm a very strong supporter of secularism, which Le Pen does not appear to be.) TBH tho, I'm pretty biased, I might just be against Macron for being a guy. With Hope, Lexi

(OOC: Alright, fighting it is then. Also, in favor of time, the system from earlier is gon be nope. I'm just gonna run through important events) "Thanks. Take care." Blink said, smiling softly. She waved at the sky, there was a flash of light, and then she was gone. Wine and Merlin had slunk off at some point as well, leaving the group alone with the adorable chess foes. It was time to fight. Wine and Blink were replaced by a small bomb thing with a skull on it and a living wheel, respectively. Chronos moved forward, hefting Meta Knight's sword. "We've wasted enough time, I've recovered enough to assist." Location: Screw it. Battle: Turn 1 Initiative: Party Status: Enemy Status: (OOC: I'll be cycling turns regardless of posted actions, anyone who doesn't post an action before I cycle with perform either a basic attack or defense, depending on a coin flip. Basic attacks will have reasonable target selection. Turns cycles will occur at a minimum of 48 hours apart)

Chronos moves up slightly but finds himself in the path of Flamer1. Check (OOC: Only did this because I'm ending things before it matters) Atton: Attack D3 (fail) Waddle Dee5: Hold Laser Ball2: Attack G8 (success) Laser Ball2 shoots a beam of light, amplified by stimulated emission of radiation, which zaps Merlin off to the side Wine: Attack D1 (fail) Seeing that they're in a bad spot, the cute foes forfeit. Chess End Drop List: Victoria gets to keep the popcorn: Blink "Universe eating monsters." Blink laughed, "That's fucking something." She didn't really find it funny, her laughter was more that of surrender. What else was there to do in a situation like this? "Anyways, Watcher said to give you this." Blink held out a piece of cloth shaped like an eye, "He said to call him if you're ever dying and he'll bring you home. Not sure if that means he's going to prevent you dying or just let you be with your family and shit. Either way, try not to need it." She stood up and brushed herself off, sliding the game system into the bosom of her dress. "Anyways, I just came to fuck around and say hi. I have to get back to trying to keep order in Envy which is not easy, a semi-anarchic society does not cope well with sudden changes and possibly universe-destroying phenomena. Any messages you want me to carry back?" (OOC: Gonna take a Hiroki post and then move to the next stage, please get on Discord sometime this afternoon. I've pinned a couple messages for everyone to read)

I have finally broken the losing streak. Woot I don't really play Ali, but I figured he was a good choice for playing with a Rengar ADC
