Hmm...I see why you would be frustrated with it. Actually, in some ways, this actually works out. It gives the picture a very unique feel, a kind of 'looking through a security camera', with some areas fuzzy, and some clear...all things considered, very good. I'm sorry to say I don't have a solution to the colored pencil thing, at least in terms of scanners. I have found it works better if you use a digital camera, and zoom in on it from far away. That helped me a lot when I needed to upload some thumbnail sketches that wouldn't show up very well on my scanner.
Guys and girls, I'm sorry I haven't posted this fast enough. Things have been a little hectic. Here's the next chap: Kairi stretched as she sat up in her bed, pouting while doing so. There were a few things she hated the most: Staying in bed for no good reason, being sick, and feeling helpless (or if there wasn’t anything for her to do, whichever the two). While in post-op, she got to do all three at once. Lucky me, she thought. If there was any consolation at all about being trapped in the medical ward of the castle, it was that Aerith was there with her. Although she was in worse shape than Kairi, that didn’t stop the two of them from having some common conversation topics: Namely, they really didn’t want to be here. Although the reasons for not wanting to be in a hospital ward were similar, Aerith was worse in comparison, in terms their containment, to Kairi because Aerith was a bad patient. “There isn’t anything wrong with us!†Aerith voiced, loudly, “Honestly, if they’re going to keep us here, they should at least have a better reason than because we were just held hostage!†Since Aerith was a month along in her pregnancy, and that Kairi wasn’t sure if it was really Aerith or a mood swing talking, she agreed, albeit a bit reluctant. *knock knock* The two turned their heads toward the doorway. Tifa and Cloud, both smiling (Tifa more than Cloud), came into the room, both carrying flowers. Aerith and Kairi smiled. “Hey!†said Tifa. She walked towards Aerith and Kairi, giving the both of them separate hugs, “We heard about what happened earlier!†She straightened up from the hugs and looked at Aerith and Kairi slyly, “Why didn’t you two call us? We weren’t that far away,†Tifa crossed her arms, “It wasn’t nice of you to hog all the action like that.†Aerith looked defensive, “We were dragged into the fight, okay? We didn’t even know what was going on until that arm came and caved the house in on us! The next thing I know, I wake up in this place,†Aerith waved her arms around, showing her surroundings, “With Merlin examining Kairi! I find out that, later before this, everyone’s been on edge towards me and asking my husband why!†Cloud, who had been leaning against a wall opposite of everyone, spoke up, “That reminds me, Aerith,†he sounded slightly amused, “What’s this we here about you expecting?†Aerith’s face turned red, “…Well…I…Who said I was?†Cloud, while smiling, raised an eyebrow, “Merlin did. He told us just as we came into the ward. He should be telling everyone else right about now.†Aerith’s head dropped, “Oh, great,†she raised her head again, “Look…we were waiting for the right time to-,†Cloud laughed, a little harder than he normally did, “Relax, Aerith. I’m not angry.†Tifa turned around to look at Cloud while he laughed. He seemed so happy in that moment. In the short time that Tifa and Cloud had been together, the most Tifa got from him was a mild chuckle or a good blush… Tifa closed her eyes and then opened them up, smiling and facing Kairi, “What about you, Kairi? Word on the street is you’re the next Keyblade weilder.†Aerith turned towards Kairi, a mixture of shock and awe on her face, “When did this happen? Nobody mentioned anything to me about you summoning a keyblade!†As the ‘Wheel of Blush’ spun, apparently it landed on Kairi being next to blush, because she gave a good shade, “Well…I don’t really know what happened. While holding us hostage, Elanore demanded everyone put down their weapons and surrender, and…I don’t know, I just…lost it,†Kairi closed her eyes for a second, taking a deep breath. It never did her any good, having this many eyes on her like this, “It was like everything I ever held in, my frustrations, my anger, fears…it all just…blew out all at once. The next thing I know, I just stuck a sword into Elanore’s arm, and I’m in Sora’s arms.†A deeper shade of blush appeared on Kairi’s face. Tifa smiled, “Wow…that’s really impressive, Kairi.†Cloud nodded, “Definitely not a small feet. You’ve got some real potential.†“I’m sure the others are going to be surprised when they hear this.†smiled Aerith. Kairi lowered her head a little in embarrassment, “Thanks guys…I just want to talk to Sora and Riku little more about this. I’d like to know why I’m suddenly able to do this.†As if on cue, Sora burst through the door, looking like something from the Underworld had been chasing him. “Kairi!†Sora ran past Cloud and Tifa and grabbed Kairi’s hand, “Wha…When…How…Who got you pregnant?!†Tifa and Aerith’s jaws just dropped. The two of them stared in amazement at Sora, then looked at Kairi. Kairi, however, looked as though someone had just slapped her in the face. If it was possible for her head to turn any more red, it happened right then. On top of all that, she was starting to shake slightly. Cloud, on the other hand, looked mildly annoyed. He rubbed the temples of his head with one hand, “Sora, when I said you should ‘hold on to your light’, this isn’t exactly what I meant.†Tifa turned and looked at Cloud, a little appalled at the fact that he said that. Cloud looked up at her and shrugged with a slightly confused look on his face, as if to say ‘What?’. Aerith closed her mouth, opened it, closed it again, and then spoke, “Umm…Sora? Are you sure you don’t mean me? Because I am pregnant.†Sora, looking like he was about to fall to pieces, shook his head without taking his eyes off Kairi, “No. Merlin told us you were pregnant, Aerith, then said Kairi wanted to have a word with me ‘about the child we were going to raise’.†Aerith suddenly burst into laughter, then quickly tried to suppress it. Everyone turned to look at her, confused. Aerith looked up at Sora, “I’m sorry, but that’s partly my fault!†Aerith then turned to Kairi, who was still unresponsive, “Remember when you told me about your problems with Sora? Well, Merlin and I came up with something that would force you and Sora to talk to each other…Him saying you were pregnant was pretty much the only thing we could think of that would make Sora come running…It looks like it worked a little too well.†Sora was starting to calm down a little bit, “So…Kairi’s not pregnant…It was all a setup?†Aerith fidgeted a little bit, and nodded. Cloud cupped his face, and Tifa just stared at Aerith, “…you and Merlin forced two teens to talk to each other by saying one of them was pregnant?†Aerith shrugged. Tifa then cupped her face and shook her head, “Remind me to never ask you for help if Cloud and I ever get in a fight,†she muttered. “…baby?....†Everyone looked at Kairi. She was slowly starting to come out of it: Her eyes were slowly starting to blink. Sora held one of her hands in between both of his, “No. I’m sorry, Kairi, but you’re not pregnant.†Kairi recoiled like she was just slapped. She quickly made a fist and punched Sora’s arm as hard as she could. She was back. “OW!†Sora gripped his arm and attempted to massage it, “That hurt!†“You idiot!†Kairi was red again, but this time from anger. Sora backed up a little bit in fear. “Of course I’m not pregnant! How could you possibly think that I was?! We never…†Her face turned very, very bright red. Sora’s face was starting to turn the same shade, in realization of what Kairi was saying. He started, “Hey, I’m sorry, all right?! It’s just…Merlin came out, said that everyone was fine, we somehow got onto the subject of Aerith being pregnant, and then he brought it up that you wanted to talk to me about our unborn child!†Tifa grabbed a chair, sat down next to the standing Cloud, and sighed, “All we need now is for one of us to have amnesia, and we’ll have a soap opera on our hands.†Cloud chuckled at that. Kairi turned at them, “You find something funny about all this?!†Cloud looked up at them, still smiling, “No, Miss. Nothing at all.†Before Kairi could retort, the door opened again. Everyone turned in surprise to see Vincent walk in. “Are you all done yelling?†he asked, grinning slightly. The majority of the room, except Sora and Kairi, sat there stunned. Tifa got up and quickly hugged Vincent, “Vincent!†she let him go, “What happened to you? We all heard that-,†Vincent took Tifa’s arms off of him, “Believe me, I’ll explain about what happened with me and Hiashi in a few minutes. We’re getting everyone together for a meeting in the throne room, and you all need to come.†Vincent looked at Cloud and nodded, “Cloud.†Cloud, looking serious, nodded back, “Vincent.†“I’ll see you all in a few minutes,†Vincent turned and left the room. Everyone was silent. Finally Cloud spoke up, “We better get going,†He was halfway out the door before he stopped, “Oh, Merlin also told me to tell you that you two can leave the ward whenever you’re ready.†Cloud then proceeded down the hallway. Kairi, relieved, got out of the bed and tried to stand up, but buckled a little bit. “Whoa!†Sora caught her, and put her arm over his shoulders, “I’ve got you…you mind if we talk a little along the way?†Kairi was a little surprised, “…okay…what about?†The two were out the door, “Well…a little bit more about my behavior…and what’s next for us.†The two left the room. Only Tifa and Aerith were left. “So…,†Tifa started, just sitting there. Aerith nodded, “So…Is there anything you want to talk about before we go to the throne room?†Tifa frowned a little, but nodded, “Yeah, actually…it’s about Cloud.†Aerith raised an eyebrow, “Oh no…please tell me you’re not having problems too?†Tifa, still frowning, shook her head, “No, not exactly. It’s just that I’m having a hard time getting Cloud to open up to me.†Aerith frowned in response, “Oh. I’m sorry, Tifa,†Aerith straightened up a little bit, “That’s kind of to be expected, though. Cloud’s always been a little…introverted, especially when Sephiroth was involved. I heard that you two were going out a few times, though, especially when Zack and I were on our honeymoon.†Tifa nodded, and looked down, “Yeah, we went out a few times, and earlier today we had a picnic, but…that’s not what I wanted to know.†Tifa looked back up at Aerith, “…What exactly happened between you and Cloud while he was hunting Sephiroth?†Aerith cocked her head a little, “Huh?†Tifa started to walk around, pacing a little, “While the whole ‘heartless’ thing was going on, Cloud was always on the move until he came back to Hollow Bastion, but even then he wasn’t really willing to talk to anybody. When I finally found him, he was still hiding from me, even though he knew I was looking for him.†Tifa stopped pacing, “You were the only one he was willing to talk to…to open up to, even if it was a bit reluctant. Why is that?†Aerith looked a little puzzled at Tifa, “I’m sorry, Tifa, I’m afraid I don’t know what to tell you. Cloud and I just sort of hit it off when we reunited. We were never involved romantically, so nothing really happened…I guess he just felt he could trust me, compared to what he felt from everyone else.†Tifa sat back down, a little frustrated, “But why didn’t he feel like he could trust me? That’s the part I don’t get!†She cupped her temples with her left hand, and lowered her head again, “He knew I cared about him since we were 14! He knew I would’ve helped him through any troubles he had! I mean, I would’ve given my life to save him, for crying out loud!†Aerith’s eyes widened a little, “Tifa…I think that’s why.†Tifa looked back up at Aerith. “I heard a little bit about Cloud while Sora, Donald, and Goofy were traveling, back when we were in Traverse Town? From what they told us, Cloud wasn’t exactly on the side of the angels,†Tifa listened carefully to what Aerith was saying, “Remember what Cloud said to Sora earlier? ‘Hold on to your light?’†Tifa nodded. “Sora said that Cloud was still searching for his,†Aerith stood up, â€is just a guess, but I think Cloud didn’t want you to find him, at least, not until he knew where he stood in life. At that time he wasn’t a hero, but he wasn’t a complete villain either.†Aerith walked towards the door, “Sephiroth wasn’t exactly a help. He kept torturing Cloud’s mind with…well, things I’m probably better off not knowing.†Tifa lowered her head. What Aerith said made sense…so why didn’t she figure this out before? Aerith put her hand on Tifa’s shoulder, “But all that’s over now, Tifa. I’ve known Cloud for a while, and if there’s anything I can say for certain, it’s that he will open up. You said so yourself, he’s going out with you. That’s a pretty big step so far.†“Aerith,†Tifa looked back up, towards Aerith. Aerith smiled, “He just needs a little more time, that’s all.†Tifa smiled, then nodded, “Yeah, you’re right. Thanks…let’s go catch up with the others.â€
Shiny...too shiny...I'm blind! That's Terra, right? I can't tell very well.
Your obsessions are swirls and lines. Very nice wallpaper. Looks really official. Can you make one were all the characters are running in the same direction, or has one already been made?
