Hello. I am a member of this wondrous (+ weird) fandom of ours, and I bid you welcome and good tidings friend.
As the rest of the team fervently rushed forward in pursuit of the birds, Steel just calmly floated after them. He couldn't see why they were all in such a hurry: They were the ones who said they didn't like Kuzco. In his eyes, their efforts seemed hypocritical and frivolous. Then again, he had said he would take them to the keyhole, and they probably weren't going to let their morals drop on the snobby brats account. Oh well. If they got to far ahead, he would speed up a bit.
Would very much like to spend 3 crowns on 1 AP and 4 crowns on 1 Speed. Please and thank you.
Yeah either is fine with me... except if you could start it near to a Sunday or Wednesday when It won't take me that long to post, that might be in your best interest... Jus' a sayin'... You don't have too... You're GM after all...
Sorry I can't just now. I am really pretty busy and only post in SOS regularly on Sundays and Wednesdays.
K then. How are you today?
Or is my avatar the one you were even speaking of?

Steel finally managed to knock Panchito on the side of the head and beat him in such a manner that The bird would surely feel it in the morning. The others seemed to have taken care of Donald. Now all that was left was Jose. Steel zoomed in Jose's direction and sent a flurry of rapid jabs and slashes at him, but to no avail: The blows merely bounced off Jose's magic umbrella. This irritated Steel, but he quickly came up with strategy. He Sent a few more slashes at the impenetrable umbrella, then quickly performed a reversal, slashing at the vulnerable side of the bird. Jose dropped to the ground and dropped the umbrella. He grabbed for it in vain as it was now in Steels' possession. He smiled at Jose, and what happened next was very entertaining: Jose launched an ice crystal at him. Steel used his combat acquisition to push the crystal in Donalds' direction, ensuring that his determination would not be a hindrance anytime soon. Jose cast multiple magic spells at him, but each merely glanced off Jose's own umbrella. Steel smiled as he ran up to Jose: Faster than the eye could see, and sent another flurry of slashes at him. With no barrier: the onslaught was effective and he managed to knock Jose across the clearing. They were almost finished.
As Aiden stood observing A piece of bark. He looked down from the thin tree branch he was standing on to see a small, round, and red object roll up to the base of the tree. He panicked and jumped three trees over. When nothing happened, He took another look. "Oh." He laughed to himself, relieved. "It's just some kind of berry... Thank goodness it's not a jawbreaker..." He shivered, then went back to observing the piece of bark in his hand. "Not this one..." He carefully put it down next to what happened to be what he was looking for. "...Well Thank you horrible memories of the twisted Leo... I guess...." He picked up the bark, and returned to the shack.
I missed you.
Eon's pleading reached Steels ears. As he continued to duel with Panchito, he wished he could do something to support him. But he knew the mission: It was one of self defense. They needed only to convince the trio that they could not win this battle. Over by where the others were fighting, It seemed that his stop spell had worked, but only for a few moments. "Ugh." In his brief distraction, Panchito had managed to successfully shoot him. He grunted and staggered back, then continued to block the bullets that came at him. It was a minor injury. He could take care of it later. "If Leo were here, he would be shoving SO many jawbreakers down your throat." He thought. Then he reconsidered. "But you guys aren't heartless...So I suppose it's a good thing he is not here." He put those thoughts aside and ran for a quick jab at Panchito. Upon a succesful hit, he went for a combo of a few extra slashes and an upward thrust. He tried to knock Panchitos' guns away but nearly got his face blown off. He jumped back before the bird could retaliate further. "Oh well," He whispered to himself. "It's Kingdom Hearts; he would've gotten them back anyway."
As the others fought off Donald and Jose, Steel and Panchito were dueling. Every time Panchito shot at him, he would block or deflect the fire. In return, every time Steel could get close enough to slash at him, Panchito would jump farther away. Steel wished he could use his own handgun: It would make this game of cat and mouse much simpler. He was extremely grateful when a fireball took his opponent by surprise, giving him a quick opportunity to slash at him, sending Panchito sprawling back. With a nod toward Cat, he used the opportunity to cast stop in the general vicinity of Donald and Jose, hoping to slow them down while they couldn't counter. He then turned his attention back to Panchito. "Shall we dance?"
Steel was about to take Etrius up on his offer when Panchito, Donald, and Jose jumped out of the bushes. Steel was completely silent as Kuzco did a monologue about how much the party talked. He briefly smiled as Kuzco was thrown in a sac and kicked. He summoned his keyblade and wondered about how he could do this. He had Learned the spell to summon the three of them a long time ago, but he had never used it... Which is likely why the didn't recognize him. However, that didn't mean he had no spell... What would happen if he tried to summon them now? Would they just move to a slightly different position? Would some strange space/time distortion occur causing two sets of the caballeros to exist at once? Or would the presence of the three merely proceed to boost His critical hit rate... as he attacked them. Steel Smirked at the thought. It was then that panchito began to shoot at him. He blocked each of the bullets as they came, spun his keyblade in front of hiself to deflect a few more, and sliced the last one in two. As this strategy was determinant upon his speed stat, he was pretty sure it wasn't god-modding. Donald aimed a fire spell at his side. He held out his hand and cast his own fire spell, which blast through donalds and went for Jose. Jose, however, used his magic umbrella to deflect the spell. It was then that a horrible realization dawned upon Steel. "The Magus Sisters!" He exclaimed within his mind. "Except... their boys... and birds.... Magus Caballeros?" Whatever, the point was that the Delta attack would be dangerous. He addressed the group. "We need to split our focus so that at least on of us is attacking each." He said to them. "Try to focus as much power as possible on Donald and Panchito." He then charged at Panchito with several rapid thrust.
Well... I finally finished chapter 3! My computer is still a pain. With the tech difficulties (of which I know the cause but do not currently have the capabilities to fix) I couldn't really type much at all, and when I could I couldn't think of much to type. I also seemed to have planned it out as a longer chapter in general... But anyway, I got access to a much faster computer and I wound up finishing in no time. YAY! However, I was so happy that I was getting so much done, I left some of my more descriptive moments out. Didn't really pay attention to how fast I was trying to take it till after I finished writing. Still don't know How it's different... I can just tell, y'know? So anyway, with that in mind CnC-ing would be greatly appreciated. I should be able to type this story at a more regular pace now. Last Note: Because I made this chapter so long, and just edited my chapter 3 post little by little over the summer, I thought I would post the rest as a "Part two" To announce the grand reopening of the story. Here we go: Chapter 3The Library(Part two)“Excuse me?” A voice whispered from the end of isle. The two of them turned their heads and were quite shocked to see Clair staring at them from the other end of the isle. “What are you two whispering about?” She said with a look of suspicion on her face. “Oh, nothing…” Leonidas spat hastily. “Just about how it’s strange that scientists are focusing more on discovering elements than the practical use of them, it’s all like: “Look! We discovered a new element! That’s great! …Now let’s discover the next one.” It’s a strange way to behave…” Clair merely stared at Leonidas. He was hoping that she hadn’t heard enough of their whisperings to know it was her they had been talking about, but the look on her face said she likely heard more than he would have liked. Her facial expression changed to a smile. “I see.” She responded. Leonidas was relieved. Even if she had heard something, she was willing to let it go for now. “So what are the two of you here for?” She asked them. “Oh, we volunteer after school here most days.” Leo responded. “What about you?” He asked. “Find anything interesting?” Clair’s eyes went down to the book in her hand. “Well there was this…” As she brought it up into his line of vision he nearly lost his composure. He coughed once and ignored the smile in Alice’s eyes as he continues the conversation. “Ah, that one…” He said with a smile. “It is VERY interesting, but unfortunately that one cannot be checked out at the time: It’s still being studied you see. I believe Alice has likely told you of the statue?” “Yes…” “Well, that’s the book.” “I see… That’s too bad, but why is it still on the shelves if people can’t check it out?” “Oh, most people aren’t that interested in it, so why hide it away in some dusty room in the back?” Clair seemed to be growing increasingly curious about the situation. “I can’t see why people wouldn’t be interested; I wouldn’t want to put it down if I could understand more than a few paragraphs.” Alice came to the rescue. “Oh well, just because ignorance is bliss doesn’t mean it’s entertaining! Here, I know where to find some books that you would enjoy.” She quickly took the book from Clair, gave it to Leo, and dragged her away from the isle before she had time to argue. Leo let out the breath he was holding. “That was close… though it might not matter much soon…” He looked down at the book in his hands. A chill once again ran down his spine as he wondered what in the book had interested her so. It looked simple enough: A dark blue leather-bound book with no title on the cover. It was ancient after all, and therefore did not exactly seem up to date with more modern works. But it was in surprisingly good condition. No worn pages or mold anywhere on it, which was quite a surprise since it was found in a grotto. Leonidas opened the book and slowly flipped through the pages. Some were holding unintelligible text, some had foreign language, and others were blank. But Clair had just had it, which meant it should have still been in there somewhere… Leonidas stopped flipping as he found what he was looking for: A few lines of text in perfect English. The letters seemed to glow, though not strongly; he couldn’t tell for sure. He silently read the text to himself. Oh brilliant Sun, Oh shining light, do not despair in this your plight. Your wounds will heal in all do time, and those who caused them turn to grime. When we reach the castle wall I shall not let you fall. This Reality is on the brink of insanity. Please believe in me. Leonidas was somewhat taken aback; this entry was not like the others. Alice had been right: There WAS something different about her… Even “he” seemed to treat her with special respect…and he was also warning her about something. He stared off in the direction Clair and Alice had gone. “I suppose we’ll be getting a visitor at the castle tonight.” He muttered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Leonidas was nearing the boy’s dormitory, he heard a bark coming from up ahead. He looked up and smiled as a large white German Sheppard ran towards him. When it reached him it simply stopped and sat down. “Good boy!” Leo scratched the dog behind its ears. Sors had come after the dog, with a straight face as usual. “Why, hello there.” Sors said nothing, but he nodded his head. Leo had always known what Sors meant…Somehow… Which is what frightened him about the recent smile: not only were they unusual (No matter what mood he was in) he couldn’t figure out what it meant. “Thanks for walking him again Sors.” Sors once again said nothing, but the look on his face said “Sure, no problem. I love walking Prince!”…And yes, he accomplished this look without a smile. It was a mystery that still haunted him. Leonidas thought, not for the first time that, despite the lack of proof, Alice’s theory had quite a bit behind it. The way Sors acted on a daily basis had some… strange aura about it. The way he could live a perfectly normal life without ever speaking a word or showing much facial expression seemed supernatural. His thoughts were interrupted as the rain began to come down harder, so the three of them ran through the rain a short distance to the dormitory. By the time they got inside, they were soaked. Prince saw fit to shake the water off of his body, and the stench of wet fur proceeded to fill the air. Leonidas smiled. Prince lived at the dormitory with everyone; but the dog belonged to him and Sors. It had happened a few years ago. Sors had carried an injured puppy into the dormitory. Sors naturally wouldn’t tell him how he had known the puppy was outside the dorm, and it really wouldn’t have mattered if the puppy died. So Leonidas and Sors, with the help of a very worried Alice did their best to nurse it back to full health. Somehow, the board gave them permission to keep the dog at the dorm, (something about teaching responsibility) and everyone had wanted to come up with a name for it. Alice, having been much younger at the time, suggested the standard “Princess” nearly all girls did. One of the other boys had rudely and immaturely interjected that princess was a girly name, and a boy needed a cooler name. When Alice asked how he had known it was a boy, the students simple minded answer had been: “Because he had been outside the boy’s dorm. [paragraph]As flawed as that logic was, he had been right; the puppy was male. So in an attempt to make as many people happy as possible, Leonidas made his own suggestion amongst the flying insults that the others would have named him. [paragraph]The word Principality referred to Kingdoms and Domains ruled by princes, or angels that oversaw entire kingdoms and gave them blessings if they strove for goodness. This name could also be shortened to to its root word “Prince”, which would give him the royal position as Alice had wanted. This name made everyone happy, and it was the name the dog had kept to this day. [paragraph]As Leo took Prince upstairs to get him dried more thoroughly, Sors walked into the Kitchen. Leo smiled and his stomach growled in anticipation of the coming meal. Sors was an awesome cook. When he was done drying off Prince, the German Sheppard simply wandered off. Leo had no homework to do: He had finished it off at school. So he thought he would just go to his room and see the latest updates in the scientific community. [paragraph]So he went upstairs to his room, turned on the light, walked around the tables holding beakers full of glow-in-the-dark beads, sat down at his desk, and flipped on his computer. As the device loaded up he wondered to himself about the passage that had been in the book. “Please”? He had said Please? It was so unlike him. It wasn’t as though he was a commanding tyrant, but He wasn’t exactly the type to say “Please” either. [paragraph]The Honey mustard scent of Sors’ cooking pleased his nostrils as his thoughts turned to his own entry in the book.[/paragraph] [I][paragraph]Behold the Courageous Lion: In his wake he places knowledge of the dark Scion. Its conscious brims with mental might, no wonder shall escape thy sight. The heart shall bring a horrid trial; He shall face it with his fearsome smile.[/paragraph][/I] [paragraph]Leonidas wasn’t sure he understood it. He couldn’t generally be considered a lion if not for his name: “Son of the Lion”. As far as fearless went… No. It couldn’t be referring to him… but who was it talking about? His computer came on and he clicked the shortcut link on his desktop that would take him to the scientific updates page. He was met with disappointment. [paragraph]“Oh, look, they discovered a new element. “Whoopee” He said sarcastically with a much less than enthusiastic arm pump. He shut down his computer and read a children’s book of mathematics. (Ah, the simple days of Pre-Algebra.) Then he went downstairs to the now overpowering smell of Sors’ current dish. This time he was not disappointed as he walked into the kitchen. He saw about a dozen of the other boys surrounding Sors’ at the table. Leonidas looked to his right and saw Prince eating out of his dog bowl. Sors had cooked for him as usual. He turned his attention back to the group of students. [paragraph]It seemed that everyone wanted seconds. [I]“How do they eat so dang fast?” [/I]He asked himself. Of course there wasn’t enough left for everyone to have seconds. Apparently Sors hadn’t eaten yet and Leo knew he hadn’t. [paragraph]“He won’t come down anytime soon anyway!” A student near the back complained as Leonidas walked up behind him. “He’s too busy studying or something! Let him starve.” Leo cleared his throat. [paragraph]Suddenly the room was empty other than Him, Sors, Prince… and a few smoky silhouettes that quickly vanished. [paragraph]Leonidas observed his surroundings. “I could have sworn there were more People here.” He said to Sors. Sors nodded in an agreed confusion and the two of them sat down to their dinner. It was a long time since Sors had served this. The couscous pasta went well with the chicken and the honey mustard sauce. It was a stir-fry of sorts and it had a deliciously sweet flavor. [paragraph]The meal was quick, and Leonidas helped to do the dishes. The kitchen window looked out onto the street, lit only by a single street lamp. He barely twitched as the Masquerade began to dance by. He had nearly forgotten they existed. He hadn’t seen them all day. Sors noticed it too. He stopped to watch as the group was passing by; which took a few minutes. Leonidas didn’t mind: He just kept doing the dishes. Sors did this often and it was just another one of the mysterious things in this town that Leo knew not yet the logic of. [paragraph]This, however, was slightly different: it involved his friends’ personal emotions and interest. Therefore, it could wait. When the Masquerade had left, he two of them quickly finished the dishes. Leo knew what came next. The two of them walked into the lobby and Sors put on his coat and opened the door into the dark pouring rain. [paragraph]“I Suppose I can’t say anything that will convince you against the major risk of pneumonia?” Sors shrugged. [paragraph]“You know how I am about these walks.” He replied. [paragraph]“Well yeah…” Leonidas then stopped cold. Sors had just spoken. “Leonidas lost all sense of sanity for a brief moment: he nearly screamed. [I]“What twisted alien law of science had forced its way into my universe just now?” [/I]He returned to his normal stature and pointed a shaking finger at Sors. “Did you just… talk?” Sors cocked his head with a confused look and just stared at him questioningly. [paragraph]This was an uncomfortable moment for Leo. “I… think I’ll go to bed… I feel really tired.” Sors nodded; a slightly concerned look on his face. He turned and walked out into the pouring rain, closing the door behind him. Leo turned around and forced himself to walk to his room slowly. He went upstairs and got ready for bed in anticipation of the answers he hoped to get tonight. Prince lie down next to his bed as he himself climbed in. It was then as he was lying there that a single sentence from Clair’s Entry forced its way into his head: [I][paragraph]“This Reality is on the brink of Insanity.”[/paragraph][/I] [CENTER] [/CENTER] [paragraph]He fell into sleep.[/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph][/paragraph]
Steel merely sighed as he stalked behind the llama known as emperor Kuzco. The Reality Theory was indeed correct: Everything he said seemed to be translated into something that was the OPPOSITE of his meaning. Humor became rudeness, and rudeness was funny. Words were worthless if Ananta thought he had been fighting with anyone. So he merely kept walking with the intent to kill anything that stood in their path.... Unless he was hungry... Then he would eat anything in their path... Including the trees... he was an omnivore after all.
Aiden sensed a ripple in the fabric of the universe and suddenly it was Mist who had left him holding Kessha: Not the other way around. "Weird." He muttered. Then Mist took her dragged her over to Presea. "... Alright then." He shrugged. "If Rachelle and Elisa will find the blue clover, I'll look for the sacred tree bark: I have a certain fondness of high places, so it shouldn't take to long." He turned to walk out the door. "Will you be staying with Kessha Mist?"
Darn...
Steel facepalmed as now Also Seemed to be missing the point. "I'M BEING A SARCASTIC ****( an actual beep came out of his mouth) PEOPLE! HOW CAN YOU NOT NOTICE?" He calmed down. To Etrius' "No offense" He replied with a simple "None taken." And decided it would be better if he just took the lead, as everyone was pretty much just talking. He started walking in the general direction of the palace.
