Friday, October 25th, 2013 | Day 34: 4/4 | Music | Location: Venice, Italy | ooc:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam was thinking over what to do to prove to Vinny he was an angel, when he noticed Hana had arrived, "Hey guys, that looks --" She made a gagging noise and continued, "--delicious."xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Hey don't knock it until you try it.""So, who's your friend?"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxHe watched her look towards Vincent as she asked her question. "Oh, h-hey Hana, this is-" "Well hello there, beautiful. My name is Vincent Zeppeli. It's quite a pleasure to meet a beauty such as yourself."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxHana held out her hand and returned the statement with, "Hana. Just Hana. Flattery is rather unbecoming."Vincent gently held Hana's hand, "I see. Even so, it's only proper to compliment beauty wherever it's found."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam noticed Joslyn start blushing again, and grinned, but then quickly cleared his throat and spoke, "Um, it seemed the compass was reacting to Vincent here... and we were just about to... prove what we were saying was true."" ... All on your own?" she pulled her hand away.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Ah, right. Proof. Yes, proof of your claims would help with this whole angel business."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam quickly looked around to see if anyone else in the restaurant was paying attention, "Alright then..."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam pointed towards his wine glass and flicked his finger. The mist appeared around his fingers and made it's way to the wine glass. When it got there, he raised his hand a bit and the wine glass was lifted from the table.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Adam, you shouldn't do that out in the open.""No one else is paying attention anyway." he replied as he placed the wine glass back down.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Well... That's... Certainly something... Ok, ok, I'll believe you with the whole angel thing, so what now? What's gonna happen now?""That's up to you. You can stay here and keep working, or you can come with and learn about yourself like everyone else. In time your powers will come as well."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxThere was a good amount of silence to allow the man to think about it, then he finally spoke up, "Hmm... Well, something like this doesn't happen everyday. And, it's not like I'm leaving much behind if I do go with you. Hmm..." He scratched his head again, "Going with you would be a refreshing change of pace, and it would be very easy on the eyes. Alright, after thinking this through, I think it would be good for me if I go with you."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam allowed himself to smile kindly, "Well then, welcome! I forgot to introduce myself didn't I?" he held out his hand and continued, "My name is Adam." "A pleasure." Vinny responded as he shook Adam's hand.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"We'll be leaving Venice in a couple days, so you should take the time to make any necessary arrangements." "A few days, huh? Very well then. Ah! I completely forgot, you must be hungry as well Hana. Would you like anything to eat? I can whip something up quick.""Mm yes thank you."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxHana named another Italian dish, he had no idea what she said but it was probably not the squid spaghetti. Then Vincent left to go take their orders and Hana took a seat looking thoroughly pleased, "The both of you did a fine job. It looks like you had everything squared away without really needing help. I guess that should be expected when Semyaza and Azazel are working together." "W-well... I hardly did anything..." Joslyn started to blush again. With the way this was going, he would have to change the nickname from Snow White to Rose Red.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxHana turned towards Adam and questioningly spoke, "When you were with Harbonah, did she ever tell you the stories about Semyaza and Azazel?"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam turned his head towards Joslyn, and remembered the stories, and then remembered Semyaza flipping the fuck out when she found out Joslyn was Azazel, "Yes, she did. And Semyaza wouldn't let me forget it.""Stories?""Mm. I don't think I told Joslyn those stories."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxHana turned to Joslyn and spoke, "While Semyaza is famous for being a leader, Azazel is knowing for being 'his right hand man,' so to speak. They were teammates. The only other pairs that worked as well together as those two are Michael and Gabriel, and Abaddon and Azrael. We have Samuel -- Abaddon --, though we are currently lacking one Dr. Grey. In due time I believe... Anyhow, I think the both of you could work just as well together as Azazel and Semyaza once did. It might even help you connect with your angel, Joslyn. You guys should think about it."
I missed this edit before. This scenario is common, but... it has never really been something that bugged me at the time, because in the past she actually asked for money. She'd say, "Look, can I borrow 5 dollars." and I was completely okay with it. And my mom never really payed me back in cash, instead she'd buy be an iced coffee or something, and that was fine, ice coffees can get expensive around here. More recently she'd borrow like... 20 dollars and then would say she was going to pay me back. And I wouldn't pester her about it. My family isn't in the best financial situation right now anyway, especially currently, my father's part of his job is connected to the federal government, guess who isn't getting paid? Anyway, she'd get the 20, and then I'd run into a situation where I would need $20 and would ask her if I could have a 20, and she'd pay it back, but there was a small little whine before I told her why I needed it. Now it's gotten to the point where she doesn't even ask for money. ----anyway, here's an update on the current scenario anyhow. My dad found out about it, and got a little mad about it. They had a talk, and my mom has been paying me back slowly in amounts of fives, and has been giving me "little gifts" I don't need... but they aren't gifts... she's exaggerating the point that "oh this wig was five dollars", as though she's trying to pay me back in the value of the items... I'm not THAT mad about it, but... I feel like when you catch a little kid stealing cookies, and they give you back each cookie one at a time, and then try to pretend they gave you them all, but they still have 3 cookies behind their back.
Friday, October 25th, 2013 | Day 34: 3/4 | Music | Location: Germany | ooc:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Wh-why were you l-l-looking at him like th-tha-that?" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam's eyes were narrowed in a slight confusion as he looked towards the compass again. He then looked over at the guy the others were recruiting at that moment.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Well... it isn't towards him..."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxHe sat back up and looked over at compass and raised an eyebrow questioningly, "How's that compass doing?"xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"H-huh? The c-compass?"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxHe watched with a smile as she looked at the compass and then turned her head towards the kitchen, she had caught on, "N-n-no way!? Th-that guy i-i-is a f-f-fallen a-angel?!"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam raised both of his hands up as he shrugged, "Either that or he's magnetic...""Th-tha-that's crazy... I-I guess w-we're just dr-drawn to o-o-one another..."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxI believe it.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxHe sat silently for a good 20 seconds, it would really make him look good if he managed to get Vincent to join them without having to call for Hana or someone else. Sure, there was Joslyn there, that he didn't mind. If she wasn't he wouldn't have known Vincent was one of them. He closed his eyes for a moment drowsily before he spoke, "Any ideas on what to say to him when he gets back?"xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"N-n-no...""I could pull a Brandon...""P-pull a Brandon?""Ya know, jump in, head strong?" he stopped himself for a moment and grinned with excitement and gestured with energy, "Hey guess what, we're angels."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxJoslyn giggled a little before she commented, "I g-g-guess he d-do-does that..."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam smiled a little bit more as he placed his hands on the table, "Well, I guess it'd be believable. After all..." Adam quickly winked at her, "You look like an angel."xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Huh?!" he watched her turn bright red again and it only made him grin more as he repeated himself, "You look like an angel."xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"I-I... Ah..."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxRight at that moment, Vincent had come back with their food. He placed it down and Adam couldn't help but notice how black it was, and then noticed the bits in it, and tried not to react externally.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Here you are, two orders of Spaghetti al nero di seppia. Ah, and before I forget, what would you like to drink?"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxIt's SQUID. OH MY GOD. IT IS SQUID.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam quickly looked back at Vincent and asked, "What's the drinking age in Italy?""Hmm... the legal drinking age here in Italy is 18 now. It used to be 16, but it was raised just this year. If you don't mind my prying, how old would you two happen to be?""A-Ah, me? I-I-I'm e-ei-ei-eighteen...""I'm eighteen as well." "Ah, then you're in luck. Seeing as you ordered this spaghetti, I have a red wine that would go perfectly with this.""That sounds wonderful."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam looked back over at Joslyn and remembered the compass, "Oh right... hmm." he turned back over to Vincent, he wasn't sure how well this was going to go over. "I have a question. It has nothing to do with anything." "Oh? what would that be?""Do you believe in angels?"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam watched as Vinny turned his head to look at Joslyn, "I most certainly do.""Huh? Wh-why d-d-did you l-l-look at m-m-me when you s-s-s-said that?"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam let out a chuckle, even though he wanted to laugh louder, and then he continued on, back in his serious tone, "Well... do you believe in fallen angels?" "Fallen angels? Why something so specific?""Well, have you heard about all the strange things going on around the world? He Rises in America, 'zombie' attacks in the U.K?"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam noticed Joslyn was fidgeting around, and realized that this this was bringing back memories she didn't like. He wasn't fond of them either.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"I most certainly have. It seems like everything is just going to hell these days.""Literally..." "Yeah, it really is... Why are you asking me this?""Well..."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam looked over at Joslyn, he gave her face that screamed I hope I don't mess this up and he started off, "Heaven and hell are real, and so are fallen angels... and I'm not sure if you are going to believe me, Vincent. But..." Adam motioned over towards Joslyn with his hand and then continued, "Joslyn and I, as well as others, are fallen angels, we didn't know it at first, but we do now... and we are searching for others that are like us, to help... save the world." Adam looked back over at Vincent, taking a deep breath as he finished off, "I'm telling you this, because we have an object that helps us find others who are like us... and it's reacting to you."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxThere was a long moment of silence, before Vincent spoke, scratching his head, "I see... Well, that's quite the pill to swallow... I'm not sure if I can believe you. This is pretty crazy. Well... I should go get that wine I told you about"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam watched as Vinny headed into the kitchen, and then he turned back to Joslyn gritting his teeth, "I hope he isn't running the hell out of here...""Well, I-I wouldn't b-be s-s-surprised if h-he did..."Adam nodded as he released without thinking about it first, "I probably would have if I had the chance..."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxThere was a long silence and Adam used that time to twirl his fork around the Squid Spaghetti. He wasn't sure what to think of it and was nervous about eating it, or maybe he was nervous about this recruiting. He hoped Vincent didn't run out of there. Adam finally gathered the courage to take a bite of the spaghetti, and he actually enjoyed it and let out a mmmm in response.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxNot long after that, Vinny came back with red wine and two glasses. He poured some into the glasses, and then he placed the wine down. He went and grabbed himself a chair, and sat himself down. Adam took a sip of the wine as he waited for Vinny to speak, "Well, after thinking on it a bit, I've decided that I'll believe you if you can produce some proof."
It really looks really cool, I feel like the colors are nice and the way the picture is panned is a nice choice. and I actually have a question I'm not sure if someone asked but I feel it is relevant to your graphics enough to post here. In a lot of your graphics to do this paint thing over their eyes. What does that mean if it has a meaning other than a style choice? I've been curious because it has always looked cool, and I've kind of associated it with your graphics at this point. And I wanted to know if it had another meaning.

Friday, October 25th, 2013 | Day 34: 3/4 | Music | Location: Germany | ooc:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx In the end, it seemed that they really did manage to convince Kai to come with them, and now they had another member in the group. He wasn't entirely sure how to react at this point, but he welcomed him in. At least he didn't talk, with all the talking some of these people did it would have been that much more annoying.xxxxxxxxxxxThey all got back to the hotel and collected the others that were still there, but they had all waited a good amount of time for Henrik to show up, and he wasn't showing up at all. They all needed to get out of there and were getting rather impatient. But after a good amount of time, Brandon decided to speak up.xxxxxxxxxxx"Don't worry, you can count on me to keep track of him."xxxxxxxxxxxThey all went with it, and a couple of them gave him cellphone numbers in order to contact him. They they all rode out to the airport.xxxxxxxxxxxAdam was a little upset about leaving Brandon behind, he was one of the few people that actually trusted him in some way, so now he was stuck with people who had unsure opinions about him. This meant he was going to actually have to put effort in to get people to like him now.xxxxxxxxxxxThey all traveled back without Brandon and Henrik to Berlin, and they boarded the plane they still had from last time. He wasn't sure how everyone else felt about jumping on the plane, but the second he got on the plane Rubbish ran over to him and kept meowing like crazy until he bothered to pick up the cat. He fed him even though they had left him more than enough food, and then he carried the cat over his seat.xxxxxxxxxxxAdam's headache was still there, and it wasn't getting better or worse. He was still nervous about why Semyaza was giving him the silent treatment, and on top of it all, he was still thinking about how he would manage to get Hana to trust him. He wasn't sure if anyone bothered to look in his direction on the plane, but as he pet Rubbish, his face had a clear look of distress.xxxxxxxxxxxEventually, he started to feel a little sick, and took some dramamine, which helped dull down the headache, but it put him to sleep for the duration of the flight.
And maybe some basic cooking skills.
Spoiler: The Object of Discussion Seems pretty innocent huh? A rather simple meal. It's even simpler than you'd probably think. It is literally a package of premade fried rice, I just like adding egg. So I added egg into it and fried an egg and put it on top... I was feeling a little fancy. IT IS A DECEPTIVE IMAGE. DO NOT TRUST IT. Now, it is 1 in the morning here, I started cooking at around oh... 1:10? Finished around 1:25. It is a 15 minute meal at the most, and it could probably be a whole lot easier then that. Now let us start the story about how everything that shouldn't have gone wrong. Went wrong. I finished a small conversation about how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop, and left to grab the rice I had been defrosting for... 2 hours I'd say? It was really frozen. I get out there, grab all the (food supplies) I needed, lit up the skillet, and let it warm up. I tore open the bag of rice and poured it in, and threw out the bag. I don't ever read instructions, and this is where things start to go wrong. First, my dad freaks out because he heard the pilot light, and I said to him, "Oh don't worry, it's just me cooking." and he laughed. I shrugged and said, "Well, I know it is 1 in the morning, but I need to eat." And my dad shook his head and said, "It's not that, it's just that you can't cook to save your life." This is a very true statement. And then he says, "Would you like me to help you?" and I said, "It's only fried rice and egg, I don't think I can mess it up that bad." ...as soon as my dad left the rice was a decent enough heat to add egg, so I did so. And I cracked the egg and it broke all over the place. None of it landed in the skillet. So I cleaned that up quickly and added in another egg, but I accidentally got shell in it, so I picked out the shells and then smelt burning (don't worry no people were harmed... physically) I freaked out because I thought the edamame was burning and shut off the skillet while still stirring it(the egg cooked in at this point don't worry) and I tried to plate it... but for some reason there were no spatulas in the kitchen. So I went on a frantic search to find one just chillin there in the living room, I picked it up, washed it off, tried to get the fried rice out of the skillet. Have you ever seen rice just fly up in the air and land halfway across the kitchen? I managed to plate the rice and then decided to fry the fried egg, but for some reason the egg was not cooking, so I turned up the heat a little, and the whites spread a little bit and hissed. I put up the heat again, it kept doing this. I finally stopped myself and backed away and the YOKE EXPLODED. Yeah, have you ever had that happen to you? This was a new experience for me and at this point I look like I had cracked an egg on my head or something. I finished up with frying it and got it plated and washed down everything in the kitchen. Cleaned up my hair, finally sat down, took a bite. While the eggs were cooked nice, the edamame I could have sworn I smelled burning, was frozen. The rice was cold and it just... UGH. so in the end I decided to just dig through the trash and read what I did wrong because it was ridiculous.... "Instructions on how to cook in a microwave oven."
Friday, October 25th, 2013 | Day 34: 1/4 | Music | Location: Munich, Germany | ooc:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam woke up with a headache again, and he slowly got himself out of bed. He sluggishly got himself ready and aimed to head towards the door, when his head suddenly felt dizzy and he grabbed onto a bed post.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxWhat the hell was that?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam sat back down on the bed and layed back down for a moment closing his eyes, he wasn't sure if he actually fell back asleep at all, but he knew he couldn't lie there all day and he decided it would be best to just get out of the room. He grabbed his backpack and headed to the lobby.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxWhen he got there, he saw Richard was present, and so was the new guy...Logan was it? But he was surprised to not see anyone else, particularly Brandon. Maybe he had run off for a few minutes. Adam probably would have started conversation with Richard if he wasn't asleep and Logan wasn't so absorbed in his phone.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam sat in a chair in the lobby and closed his eyes to block out light, hoping it would help the headache.
ugh UGH, WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? (I like your pets) I don't even know! -crying- (goes into complete guess mode) Beau Forsaken Ars Nova Mish Dr_Wigglz ⎡Red⎦ LaRiA ~Phoenix~ and in time we will see how badly I failed...
Hello relevancy how are you today?
I am confused how this went from such an innocent little "lol look at what's visible, everyone's premium" thread into an actual offensive thread for normies... O_O YO. If you are so offended by his little observation because he didn't know you were online, why are you invisible? -rolls away-
Thursday, October 24th, 2013 | Day 33: 4/4 | Music | Location: Munich, Germany | ooc:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam was still not sure how the hell they managed to get Kai this time, considering he ran off at one question. What did Brandon do that Adam didn't? He had no idea and it was killing him a little.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWhen they got to the hotel room, Adam layed in the bed and stared at the ceiling. He felt so out of place in this group, and felt like he was just taking up space. It had also been a day since Semyaza had bothered to communicate with him. No questions were being answered, and he was becoming even more concerned that they might have given up on him.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAdam fell asleep, feeling like his usual defeatist self.
Did you say today is October 24th? I know the year is 2013... The 33rd day of what? I know the day is 4/4 over. I'm in Launceston, Australia. I'm wearing work clothes. I have nothing else to say.Lauren was sitting on her porch with her eyes shut, enjoying the night air as she felt the purring of Avery on her legs. It was the furthest she would dare go with it, even though from a distance it could pass as a cat. The ocelot always behaved itself, and Lauren loved not having to chase after it. Lauren heard footsteps come from the inside of her house, to the outside. She heard them approach her, and felt a form rub against her accidentally as they took a seat. She felt someone grab her head gently and heard the voice speak. "Sometimes I wonder if you purposefully get hurt to freak me out." Lauren smiled small and opened up her eyes looking at Alice and spoke, "Nah. I purposefully get hurt to remember I'm still breathing." Alice's face quickly shifted to a look of fear and Lauren busted out laughing, "Nah nah, I'm kidding you, your face when I say that though," Lauren sang the last part. "Rack off ya ratbag!""Hey, don't be mean about it!" Lauren said as she lifted up her left hand and flexed her ring finger, "You're stuck with me, love." Alice let out a small chuckle at her and let go of Lauren's head and spoke, "Good thing it wasn't a boomer huh? You'd be dead.""Not true," Lauren sang again, "Boomer kicks just make your head feel lighter.""Pardo-""They get ya in the right spot, winded. Wow, one time with my pah I got kicked in the neck, the sucker jumped away and my pah told me I was one lucky shit... makes no sense though, do I look like a shit to you?""Aw that year after musta been hell!""I just vegged out for a month, sophomore year was a blast... ah!" Lauren kicked up her legs, causing Avery to jump for a moment before climbing back up to Lauren's lap, "We needa go to the mainland and go shooting for some roos." "I think you're fine without it...""You haven't seen me with a gun!""I don't want to.""AY! You're killin me." Lauren collapsed back on the porch and Avery climbed up on her stomach, "I may seem stupid... but I'm not. Like my pah says, I've just got a thick skull."Alice stared at her for a moment then, layed back with her and whispered, "Thick enough to protect that brain of yours.""Damn right."Alice leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead and spoke, "Maybe you should go and rest that brain for the night.""My brain doesn't need any sleep.""Oh believe me, it does." Alice sat up and grabbed Avery from Lauren and ran inside, "I've got her hostage.""H-hey! Mate! Leave her outta this!" Lauren jumped up and ran through the house and followed Alice up the stairs. Alice ran into the bedroom and Lauren aimed to, but ended up colliding into the door frame. Alice freaked out and let go of the ocelot and ran out into the hallway and crouched down next to Lauren, "You alright?" Lauren grabbed Alice and flipped her over and pinned her down and giggled, "Momma says I shoulda done theatre.""Hey that isn't fair, you're hurt!" Lauren leaned down and kissed her on the lips and then spoke, "I ain't hurtin."Alice pushed her off and walked into the bedroom and Lauren followed, "Aw Love, no don't be like that please? I'm sorry." Alice sat down on the bed and Lauren layed down on the bed and leaned her head back on Alice's lap speaking, "Your little rabbit is sad when you are sad." Alice looked down at Lauren, who quickly shot up and pecked her on the lips and then both sat there straight faced. After a few seconds the two busted out laughing and Lauren curled up with her head still on Alice's lap, "Alright, I'll sleep now." Alice chuckled and then realized Lauren literally fell asleep right then, she sighed and moved her up to the pillow, and climbed in bed just in time for Lauren to grab Alice in her sleep. Alice chuckled to herself and eventually fell asleep too.
Kind of, I might not be the best at explaining it, but it also includes transgenders and other gender things like that... someone better at explaining this should probably jump in after me.
So I found out, not too long ago, that pansexuality does NOT fit it. In fact, it appears to be a common mistake among a lot of people. It turns out I am demisexual... but people tend to take a lot of parts of demisexuality and categorize it with pansexuality. Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is sexual attraction, sexual desire, romantic love, or emotional attraction toward people of all gender identities and biological sexes. Demisexuality is the lack of sexual attraction outside of strong emotional connection. It is distinct from, but related to, asexuality, the complete lack of sexual attraction. Sorry I put LARiA in this, you were just the one who pegged me as pansexual and I needed to link that comment. But, I hope this helps clear things up for people who may have this confusion? I doubt it, but I figured I'd address it here.
Not sure if sarcasm... or if you genuinely found it funny...
....So I just realized one of those threads was my own and was just about to comment about how unoriginal it is following that theme...
