You can call me Ze Operator, or Ze. Either is preferable. I have seen some of your work on Cloud <3's Light Vs. Dark thread, as well as one of...
Okay so basically I'm trying to make Etrius more complex then he should be, (At least, that's how I feel) and it's hard to keep the lock on certain things when it take a little long to go through it, if you're following me. What I'm trying to say is, I think Etrius is a bit of a shaky character on my part, and I'm asking your opinion. Do you think he's a bit much? Or is he fine the way he is?
Looks like this'll be smooth sailing from here.. Thanks for everything!
"Yes but-" Etrius started, but he cut himself off. His shoulders slackened and he lowered his head. "This woman is kind. But naive.." Etrius restarted his voice quiet but firm, "She doesn't realize that corruption will always find a soft spot. Even you," He pointed at Steel, "You look like you can hold your emotions well, but corruption has a habit of taking over even the strongest of people." He turned around as he went on, "The reason why I asked is because I've had a vision. It happens to me on certain occasions. This vision showed me one thing...." Etrius head suddenly snapped and Etrius stiffened, then lowered his head. When he raised it, two red eyes took the place of the yellow ones. "Cinderella's night was ruined!" Etrius's voice was not his own, but it sounded older, more animal-like, "And those two snobby hags lifted their heads and laughed! And the spiteful old bonebag of the mother just stood and watched, with a f*cking sneer across her face!" Etrius's neck snapped again to the other side, and his eyes and voice returned to normal. He shook his head. "I just think that we watch her carefully. Anything can go wrong, and nothing ever goes somebody's way when it comes to parties or balls." (OCC: Now is where things start to get a little interesting! >:3)
So by tomorrow, we start the thread?
Ya well I can't see them. If I did, I wouldn't have asked. And stop screeching.
Yes..you said to find your name on it but there were no names, so I got confused.
I have a question, its that supposed to be an example chart, or the real thing? Cuz I can't see the names... (the question itself sounds stupid.)
Etrius's eyes narrowed under his hood at the talk of Cinderella's family. After scoping the area for pearls, he had gotten a good look at them. They were nowhere as nice as the very woman who helped them, and that we helped her fufill her dream. They were the source of jealousy. His head started to hurt suddenly, and one image burst into his head: It was Cinderella, but she was crying, and the dress Jaq and the other's made for her was ripped nearly to shreds. For a split second, Etrius felt her aura. It was..... Etrius bent over in pain. He shook his head and asked, "I know this might sound odd, but do you think we should let her go?" His yellow eyes were now filled with worry, "I have a bad feeling that her family might do something to her. And I'm saying this for her well being."
Rexitus walked over to the door to where Xross had walked over. The door had what looked like it had a seal of light over it, something that Darks or In-Between's couldn't unlock. "Clever." Rexitus said, smirking behind his mask. He turned to Lexeain. Lexeain cocked her head. "You do realize that the spell can't be that simple, right?" Lexeain asked tartly. Rexitus crossed his arms and stared at her. Lexeain let out a groan. "Fine, I see how it is." Lexeain said as she summoned her Keyblade. She pointed it at the seal. Nothing happened. "Now what?" Lexeain asked.
Etrius dusted himself off and put on a narcissistic smirk. "I wouldn't be the same without you, Luna dearest." Etrius said in a heavy British accent giving a mock bow, "I came to fetch you because we missed your quiet demeanor and your protection, and I do not wish to carry your baggage." Etrius stood back up and pulled a real smile and spoke normally, "Just kidding. The others and I are looking for you. Jaq was in Cinderella's room the entire time, and then I told the others to look around. They should be back by now." Etrius then looked at the satchel that Luna was carrying for the first time. He looked back at her uncertainly.
Two sides of a coinBy Ze OperatorA person isn’t one; but two of a kind,They’re more than one, the heart that binds.One mere side shows the person you visibly see,The outer flesh, the person who tries to be, But there is one thing, which they cannot visibly see,The blinding lie that doesn’t show “ME!”The inner side, that blinds the eye,The Darker evil that binds the lie.The corruption within, the anger that cries,“Let me out, I want to see your friends suffer and die!”Clearly shows that you aren’t yourself,Making you look like a bottle on a shelf.The inner side, that claws to come out,Threatens your reputation,Worse than the threats emitted from the mouth. [DOUBLEPOST=1366292293][/DOUBLEPOST] BLOODLUSTBy Ze OperatorThe burden that plagues upon life, the strong or the weak.It has no bounds, destroying the mighty and the meek.Its path is unending; it goes abound on life's hell bending.Fool, follow this path and destroy your soul,Ripping it apart, until you are dull.As you crush the bones of the living to make your bread,You live in fear, you ran and fled.Life’s true meaning, is not taking the life of your neighbor,You are life's greatest hope,Don't give corruption its favors,And don't bear the fruit of its bloody labors.
Etrius weaved in and out of the mouseholes, through the walls and up rafters. All of a sudden, he collided into someone, or something, making him fall back upon recoil. Fresh pain skittered up and down his back. "As if I didn't have enough trouble to deal with." Etrius grunted as he got up. He saw white hair and green eyes. What luck is it to collide into Luna when you had more pain to deal with? (OOC: I may have rushed this...)
All i can tell you about this is that it is amazing!
"Right then." Etrius said, "Steel, you check the out the outskirts of the house, leave no corner untouched. Kel, you having more power, you check the Living Room, see if that fat abomination is bothering Luna and she needs help. I'll check within the mousehole network, see if she is back on her way here. Jaq naturally will stay here, in case Luna comes back here. If Luna isn't here by 15 minutes, we regroup back here. Be wary of Heartless and Unversed." Etrius then took off in a gust, entering the mousehole and checking here and there.
I am young, I am old, I see what space and time could hold.
The Portal opened in Disney Castle, as Lexeain and Rexitus walked out. They looked around. They were in the hallway, near the the Throne Room. As Rexitus scanned the area, Lexeain rummaged through her cloak until she said, "It's here." "Good." Rexitus said, "Use it when the chance arises. As soon as the two Cornerstones begin to nullify, I will create a diversion, giving you time to plant the device. Got it?" "Yeah, got you." Lexeain confirmed. The two fell silent again.
Etrius remained silent to Jaq's question, and walked away. He grabbed a potion bottle from his cloak, and to took a big enough swig to make sure he's in good fighting shape. As what felt like a light feeling coming from his chest, he wondered where Luna might be. She seemed late. He went back to Kel and Steel; Steel's large slash wound magically binding up to what looked like a large scar. "Has anyone seen Luna?? She disappeared after I asked her to find Jaq."
This thread is backstory for the Cupid's Brew thread, explaining how Adrian and Tonitrui got into Fortissimo Academy. Now I don't need to say anything other than enjoy the thread, so yeah. --------------------------------------------------------------- 5:30 A.M., Gloval Residence, Seattle, Washington. A cold wind blew through the floorboards and walls of the house. Toni laid down on the driveway, looking up at the now fading stars. She was thinking about how her parents were doing. Toni's family was a bit wealthy, thanks to them winning the lottery, and now the parents were taking a private vacation. It was eventful to both Toni and her younger brother, knowing that their house will be completely empty for the rest of their summer. It did have Pros to being alone, of course. Toni and Adrian didn't have their parents ordering around, and personally, they didn't care if their parents disappeared altogether. Their parents controlled literally everything in the Apathy Twins life, what they wore, their manners, their choices and careers. They both became musicians, which was alright, but it still wasn't right to do stuff. It seemed like a dream that they were leaving for an entire summer. And that was it. At first, the brother and sister wanted to mess up the house, but they couldn't find the willpower to. It soon became pretty bleak. They didn't have any friends staying in the community for the summer, so after 2 months, things got boring. Luckily, Toni had found a camp to go to spend the rest of the summer. Adrian didn't really jump to the idea though, but Toni, being the older sister, signed them both up anyway and managed to coax the parents to pay for the fees. Tomorrow would be the day that they would be leaving. Toni rubbed a hand through her raven-black hair sighing. She then said, "You can come out now Adrian." Adrian's head appeared from the right side of the house from out of the shadows. He pushed his glasses more onto his nose, then put a foot on the garage door and leaned against it. "Your minds made up?" He asked quietly, crossing his arms. Toni got up and looked at her brother. He was two years younger than her, yet the two of them were refered as the Apathy Twins because of the way they acted. Adrian was cold, and he couldn't care less if someone called him a *****, but he had his reasons. After Adrian's second break-up with a girl, something in him shattered, and he became cold and uncaring. Toni on the other hand, Toni was a complete hothead. Anything even slightly annoying sets her off. And right now, Adrian had already got her annoyed for being out past his bedtime. "Shouldn't you be asleep?" She asked impaitienly. "You may be the bigger sister," Adrian said, "But last time I checked, I don't need you to tell me what to do." "Well we have a big day today. Don't you wanna sleep in to be totally refreshed later on?" "I couldn't sleep anymore. So I got up and saw you. Now answer my question. Is your mind made up? Adrian asked more intently. Toni kept herself calm and not snap at her smart aleck of a brother, and said in response, "Yes we are going. And if you dissagree, I'm sure we can settle with a small struggle battle." She looked at him with an angry smirk. Adrian shrugged. "Nah. Too tired to." He said. He yawned, bored, "And anyway, I change my mind about not agreeing to go." Toni sat up in surprise and looked at her brother, searching his face if he was bluffing. Adrian's face didn't change. "What made you change you mind?" She asked. Adrian shrugged again. "They said that its a music camp. Music is the one thing I never said no to." He said in a flat voice. Toni nodded. That was the only thing that made Adrian happy. He managed to learn 3 different instruments, as well as using his voice to sing. Toni had only known how to use the Organ. "Glad to hear that your mind changed." She said, smiling, as she laid back down and continued to look at the purple sky. Something still bugged Adrian though. "Toni?" He asked "Yes?" Came the reply. "You remember the Cupid's Brew site, right?" Toni sat up again. "What about it?" Adrian closed his eyes as he said, "I'm not getting the product. It's just some stupid bottle that people sell for cash. And I doubt it actually works." Toni cocked her head at her brother. "And if it does work?" She asked. Adrian opens an eye. "Then it would probably have dangerous side effects. And besides, I'm not desperate." Toni smarted from that last remark. "Just because people buy that doesn't mean they're desperate," Toni snapped, "They could use that thing for helpful purposes." "Still risky in case it actually works." Toni stood up, her eyes flashing in bitter annoyance. "Why can't you at least give a less harsh remark?"She growls. Adrian let out a stiff chuckle. "Why should I? To me, it's all a bunch of bullshit. And you can't deny that you're thinking the same thing. You are always skeptical when it came to advertisments. And if I didn't know any better, I'm thinking you were planning on getting it." Toni opened her mouth, then closed it again. Adrian had a point. She sat back down and thought about it. What were the chances that this "love potion" would actually work? She grunted, "I'm not getting that crap." Adrian closed his eye again as he said, "There you go." "But what choice do I have? I'm so interested on how it works. And plus, can you imagine if a boy actually fell in love with me?" Adrian reopened both eyes and trained them on his sister. "Don't tell me your desperate." Toni spun arround, her eyes like daggers. "I am not deperate! I'm just sick and tired of people taking me for a complete hurricane." Adrian sighed. "My advice," Adrian inquired, "Wait for the right one. God made us to be with someone else. Although I doubt that's true, it's my advice nonetheless." Toni narrowed her eyes and sneered, "And how would you know that? Your love life was nothing but pain. And another thing is that you can't stop being cryptic." It was Adrian's turn to narrow his eyes, as he said, "One, every second I'm talking is a second that you are not, and two, shut up before I shove a baseball bat so far up your butt, that you'll be spitting out toothpicks." Toni giggled. "I'm kidding and I'm sorry Adrian. I just want you to lighten up. This might be a good experience for us ever since our parents left for their vacation." Adrian frowned, then smiled slowly. "We better have breakfest." Adrian said suddenly, "It's already 5:56. We need to leave by 6. "Yeah." Toni got up, dusted herself, then walked back in the house. Adrian followed silently.
As soon as the Portal close, Lexeain felt a disturbance. She stiffened, and instantly felt afraid. Rexitus looked at her carefully and asked, "Are you alright? You're not afraid of this mission, are you? I've already sent you to Disney Castle once." Lexeain shook her head, throwing her previous thought away. "I'm fine. I just thought that maybe one of us should have stayed back." She said. Rexitus whispered, "You know that's not an option. We follow orders until circumstances change." Rexitus looked at Xross, and said, "Let's get this over with. The quicker this mission is done, the better it is for all of us."
