This little fic was inspired by an event that happened here on the forum, where someone was dared to copy me and my theme. I had been looking for inspiration, then that happened and the story just wrote itself. Mind you, it is sort of awkward and does feature a slightly out-of-character Kyouko Kirigiri, but it's an AU, so what are you gonna do? Also, no one other than characters from both franchises are featured in this, that much I can assure you. Anyway, Enjoy! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 I stared at the building in front of me. It was about 5 PM, and I had just gotten into Kalos. Lumiose City to be exact. It was a nice city, very large, and easy to get lost in. It didn't help that the entrance to the place I wanted to go to was in an alleyway, and that all of them looked virtually identical. But that didn't matter; I was here on important business. I entered the seemingly vacant building. “Hello?” I called out, quietly creeping into the main room. I investigated the room, looking carefully at each detail, and taking note of what was in it. There was a single notebook on the desk, and in it, a quick note scribbled: "Dear Super High School Level Detective, Thank you for deciding to be a detective the Looker Bureau! Please take a look around both the building and the city, as you will be working here for a while. I hope we can meet soon. Regards, Detective Looker" I put the note down, and decided to look around the city. Or at least, find someone that could help me. But first, I took the keys and made sure to lock the door. I didn’t need anyone breaking in on my first day. I wandered down the streets, not knowing where I was going. I soon stumbled upon a grocery store, where I figured food was in order as I had begun to get a bit hungry. After looking for a few minutes, I bought some noodles, paid, and headed back to the Looker Bureau. In one of the small alleyways, I stumbled upon what looked like a small cat, digging through the trash in search of food. It suddenly jumped out, its back still towards me. The tiny thing turned, and stared at me with blank eyes that I admit were a bit unsettling. “Mrew!” it cried out. ”Oh, hello,” I greeted, as if talking to a person. ”Mrew!” it said again. It approached me and sniffed my bag. ”You’re just hungry, right?” ”Mrew!” it said, a bit happier than before. I smiled down at it, “Come to the Looker Bureau with me, we can eat there.” The small thing jumped on my shoulder, and we walked back to the agency. Along the way, various people asked me where I had found Espurr, which was apparently this thing’s name. A girl named Serena gave me a device called a Pokedex, which registered data about Pokemon. She had some as well. They looked bigger and more powerful than Espurr, although looks can easily be deceiving. Serena asked to accompany me to the agency in case I got lost, and I agreed. Needless to say, she did have to help me find my way back. When we arrived, I prepared noodles for the three of us, then sat down and began to question Serena about the customs of this region. ”So, Serena… These creatures. You use them to battle others, yes?” ”Yeah!” she replied enthusiastically, “Others have them as pets, coworkers, and, in Mama’s case, for racing. She is a professional Rhyhorn Racer,” she slurped up her noodles, “What did you say your name was?” she asked. ”Oh, my apologies. I didn't. My name is Kirigiri Kyouko, Super High School Level Detective.” ”Huh? Super High School Level? What’s that mean?” ”I went to a school back in my hometown, and it was made for high school students with superior talents. My talent was detective skills, and so I was accepted for it.” ”Ooh, I see! I’d love to visit it someday and get to know your other friends!” ”My… other friends?” ”Well yeah! We’re friends now, aren’t we? You, Espurr, and me!” This girl… She was very similar to Naegi. The same optimism, the same willingness to trust a person she barely knew… It was… comforting. As if I had a little piece of home here in Kalos. I smiled. “Yes, we are friends.” I said to her. “I’m glad you feel that way.” Serena said. “Say, how about we get you and Espurr acquainted through a battle? I’ll take you on with my Braxien!” ”A battle? I’m not sure that would be appropriate at this point. I just arrived…” ”Aw, come on Kirigiri! Even Espurr looks ready!” I turned to my small partner to see that its face had changed. Espurr now wore a look of massive determination. It was similar to my face, when I had been determined not to be executed that day in that fateful trial… ”…Alright,” I agreed. ”Excellent!” Serena said, “I’ll meet ya outside! Get ready, cuz Braxien and I are a force to be reckoned with!” she stood up and rushed outside. I gave a sigh, then turned to Espurr. “I do hope you know what you’ve gotten us into, because for once, I really don’t.” ”Mrew!” Espurr said cheerily.
So lately I've noticed I'm not all into RPs on here anymore. I'm more into stuff that develop characters as opposed to being mission based, or posting abridged posts in spoilers and being funny, or that are story based. Lately, the stuff I see on here isn't that interesting. I keep waiting and hoping that I'll wake up to something like a murder mystery that allows you to develop characters as much as you want in such little time, especially knowing they can be killed off at any moment. Things with original concepts as opposed to already-made things (some stuff are exceptions, but they're pretty dark, or at least can be). In a sense, has the type of RP you like to be in changed from your first one to now? Or do you still like the same kind of stuff as always?
Before I begin, I would like to say that this has nothing to do with anything that I've experienced recently as an attack on me or anything, I just happened to stumble across something that really sparked my hatred of cyber bullying to a level where I had to say something. So please don't assume it's a call-out, or me trying to get attention and sympathy (because I will use examples from my life to make points), I just want a legitimate discussion. It shocks me there isn't a thread about this. Anyway, today I had the misfortune to stumble across this little tumblr post (I reblogged it since I dislike linking to others' blogs), and it just really made me mad. You have this girl, going through a tough time, you know, and venting innocently, when some dick had the audacity to tell her she should both kill herself and delete her tumblr. I immediately acted and told her that she had people who loved her and people who would back her up. I have friends who have struggled with suicidal thoughts over (what most of the older members would call "stupid kiddy drama") break ups, fights with friends, or overall just jokes that get taken too far. Then people have the balls to go and hide, THEN tell someone to kill themselves. It's just not okay. Cyber bullying is a legit crime and you can get arrested for it. If anyone EVER got a friend of mine to this point, I would easily report them. How do you know it's legit and not a grab for attention? Fair point. It could be a lie, it could be true. That doesn't change the main point, which is that cyber bullying isn't okay. The people you're insulting are exactly that- people. They aren't just some user you can manipulate. In my time on the internet, I have been cyber bullied. Call me overly dramatic, but the calling an attention whore, saying I'm plain out annoying, or making a recording imitating me and openly pointing out things you dislike about me is pretty much the definition of cyber bullying. Something as simple as calling someone a little **** could push them over the brink. I used to deal with it wrongly, I would get dramatic, I would go and make myself seem victimized to others who I knew would support me. I know that's wrong, and now I just think anyone who uses the anonymity of the internet to openly bully someone is just a plain coward. If you can't bring yourself to openly tell someone "I don't like you" to their face, and instead choose to do tiny things to attempt and crush their hopes, you're not cool. You're not smart, you're not popular. You're just that, a stupid coward. What really gets me though isn't the fact they're simply hiding, it's that half the people that do this don't even know the person. They just know what they see on the outside and not what's on the inside. I'll admit, I can be VERY judgemental, but I would never bully and attack anyone for it. If you don't know me, then that's your problem. There's a member here who I started on bad terms with. Many of you know them, and some don't. They're the equivalent of "popular" on here. We HATED each other at the start. Eventually, we just got to know each other, and now I consider them a friend, and we talk quite a bit. Hell, even most of the friends who I talk to now are the ones that disliked or hated me when they first met me, then just got to know me. If they still disliked me, they'd at least have my respect because they got to know me. These are all just my opinions based on my own experiences of course. Now onto the pressing question: what are YOUR opinions on cyber bullying? Is it too seriously punished? Is it not punished enough? Harmless jokes that escalated? I'd like to hear them from ya, KHV.
If you see me doing stuff I don't normally do, please don't be alarmed. That ***** Super High School Level Impostor has given their abilities to Hyuge and they are attempting to slander my name! Unless it's the same impostor, in which case I underestimated them... Either way, the culprit must be caught and put on trial! I concur! Fraud is not welcome in a Forum Environment! The culprit must be apprehended at once!
And I STILL don't post about my personal life as much as Amaury does.
Would anyone like to battle in Pokemon X and Y? Use anything you want other than Legends, of course. Friend Code: 4983-6333-6358
I finally got a female Bulbasaur ^.^ You guys have no idea how much this means to me.

It's a Shibuya Thing.
Let me just say that it'll likely be fairly obvious who I'm referring to in this thread, but I am not calling them out, I am just at the point where I need help. Anyway, at this point, I just feel like I'm the only one messing up, just as the thread title states. I don't want to get too ahead of myself, but what needs to be known is that about a week ago, my girlfriend and I decided to take a break. I was in a pretty crap mood, so I ended up losing it and saying things I shouldn't have, but we got over it and are talking again. Or so it seems. Every time I go to talk to her, she seems okay with talking to me. I usually have to start the conversations because she doesn't, but I don't hold that against her, even if I feel she just doesn't want anything to do with me anymore at all. We talk for a bit, then she just closes off and acts like "okay Hector go away I'm busy", and is just too nice to say so. Normally, i'd lose my temper pretty fast, but two things happened that basically ensured I wouldn't do so anymore: A) I played The World Ends With You and realized a lot of my internal and external conflicts are just due to past experiences that I have to learn to let go of. B) I am sick of getting upset and us landing in square 1 again. I'd get mad, we'd make up, and then she'd just do it again. Like I said, not going through it again if it won't be fixed. So anyway, I now just say I'll leave her alone and that she can speak to me later if she wants to, well knowing she won't because she'll occupy herself with her friends (whom she's been siding with lately, so I kinda haven't been able to count on her support because of that, and it kinda hurts). It's basically just my way of telling her I'll be out of her hair if she wants me to be. Now onto the main subject. Am I really doing everything wrong? Am I not caring for her enough? Am I too focused on my stuff? I'm to the point of tears and hating myself because I just don't know what I did or what I can do to repair things. I don't mean to incessantly whine, but I'm just feeling like everyone is against me for things I accidentally did. I used to be on such good terms with everyone, and now we have my girlfriend's friends who don't like me, half the people I see on here just want me to go away, and even my friends, who I knew before she did, are becoming distant from me, because they're friends with her too. Heck, it seems I just can't grasp what I learned these past few weeks. I figured that having my own values and letting everyone keep theirs would work. That i should only love and trust those who do the same with me, protect them because they care, and just not give two craps about the people who don't like me. But in all honesty, it's easier said then done. She's done so much for me, she's helped me through a lot, and I wish I could say I've done the same for her... but in all honesty, her attitude states otherwise, and it makes me feel worthless. Like I kinda deserve to have her leave me, which is another thing that I keep getting from her attitude. I just feel like one day she's gonna message me and say it isn't working out, because I'm just not doing enough. I'm stuck in a hole, where I just can't get out and fix anything. I'm just scared. No one understands me as well as she does. I can't form connections with people at my school, and I don't trust anyone else enough. Even now, she's more mature than me. She acts like an adult, and I still have the mentality of a child. I know it sounds like incessant 'Oh, I love her and need her, wha wha wha', but it's not that. I seriously feel like I'm doing something wrong and have it coming if she does decide to leave me behind. So... am I really messing up, or is this just how life goes?
Have you ever had beautiful Skype moments where a funny quote comes along, and you quote it in your sig, then something better comes along and you have to replace it to save room? Well I thought it'd be a good idea to make this thread as an archive of all those funny moments.
The 104 Building is an important part of the Reapers' Games.It is here that the Players will complete various missions, as assigned by the Reapers.
View attachment 36819 Doin' this on Difficult because why not. Here is where it all begins.
(No prior knowledge of TWEWY required) The Reapers'Games Hello there. Welcome to the games. I am the Composer and you have found yourself dead in this UG (Underground) forum. You have been summoned to this place to redeem yourself. These games are known as the Reapers' Games. You will be judged by Reapers to get a second chance or not. What are the rules for these games, you might ask? #1- You are dead, as in, no one can see you. Players are not allowed to speak with one another outside this thread (due to them being dead). RPs and off-site messaging such as Skype (especially because of rule #6) do NOT fall in this rule. Players will be identified by a black-and-white skull pin in signatures. #2- You need a partner. If you do not get a partner, you will be hunted by the Noise until you are erased. No exceptions. #3- Honor your pact. Do not leave your partner behind, and do not form another pact. You will face erasure for violating your pact. #4- You may only challenge other players for a hint or a pin. Otherwise, be a good sport and do not use this to solve outside problems. #5- I will PM Challenges and a different hint to each set of partners at the start of the day. You have 24 hours to solve the challenge. #6- (Not a rule, more of a guideline, but useful) Collaborate with other players. Don't think it's just you, everyone here is a player. Now what If you win these games? You and your partner will have the option of never coming back to these games, playing once more, or become a Reaper and discuss the Next set of tasks for the new batch of arrivals. What's more- I become a player once the flag is handed down to the next Composers. You have a week to acquire a pact and sign up here. The first 3 pacts will be the ones who will partake in the Reapers' Games. I at random will kill a pair of members to join you as well. Oh, and please don't get erased by any of the Noise. Use your Pins wisely. Current Players: Cat~ and MarushiRoxam and hoodrat daddy Moksha and calxiyn
Psycho got a high kick Collect and select Show me your best set~
Or am I just not seeing the polls as new posts..?
