Role Play Idol 【Challenge Three: Decision Making.】 ★ {WELCOME} ★ Hey, sorry for the wait. This challenge will be judge-interactive, meaning the judges will be posting as well. Please remember your critiques from the last couple of challenges and apply what you've learned here. It will help you. There will be a voting session this time around. The judges for this season's RPI will be... Machina Midnight Star hyuge-of-the-twilight and Jayn. Remember that our critiques are meant to help and encourage you. I hope that at the end of this competition, you will have become more confident in your role playing, and will feel more comfortable approaching us (the judges) and your fellow role players, even outside of it. We're here to help. <: ★ {THE CHALLENGE} ★ 'Kay so for this next scenario, hygue-of-the-twilight has offered a suggestion. This challenge will be interactive, and less limited. In this scenario, all of you are a team of rebels. The Judges will play a team of government representatives (essentially). You don't agree with the way the government is and in the midst of one of your missions (irrelevant), you've been captured. Our team has you trapped in a room with seemingly no escape. We promise to let you go if you give up the leader of your rebellion. The leader is not played by anyone. He is an NPC named Caden (we don't know which one of you is the leader). This challenge does not focus on fighting or idling around, but rather you must all debate and chose if you'll give your leader up or if you won't. This challenge focuses heavily on the discussion of your team and your all working together to finish this scenario and make a decisions. We'll also be looking at contribution. How many of you post regularly, those of you who disappear from the challenge, etc. In this challenge, you will be replying to this post written by hyuge. ★ {RULES AND RESTRICTIONS} ★ ♣ You can (and have to) post more than once. ♣ You must use ONE of your characters in this challenge. ♣ Remember that this is a competition. Try your best to impress me, and the judges. If you're not trying, it will be evident. ♣ For this challenge, you may interact with everyone. You all already know each other. ♣ Posts count, so be relevant. Please don't spam questions in this thread about this challenge, contact me personally if you're confused! ♣ You have until JUNE 16TH to post. Preferably before then, because we want as much time as possible for the judging process. <: If you do not make that deadline, you are disqualified. Talk to me if it's important. ♣ Be creative and have fun! It is a competition, but it's also about being creative, original and letting loose. ♣ Graphics are okay to use if you want them. But I'm not making them for anyone in this competition. If you use them, you're not scoring any extra points with the judges. I've made it clear that graphics does not equal superior. ♣ Post your posts in this thread, below my post. ♣ Powers and weapons are irrelevant and won't help you in this situation. The focus is on the discussion. ♣ Once you submit, that's your post. You can edit spelling errors and such, but please don't add more on. Only because it would be unfair to post, compare to everyone else's post and edit more in based off of what other people post. ♣ If you edit your post, leave a reason why. I CAN compare original posts to their edits, so please be honest.
Okay guys, lol. I need help because I am lazy and tired. I'd like Challenge Three to be more interactive in terms of all of us posting, judges included. I like Hyuge's idea about the rebels and stuff. But I need a way for all of us judges to interact with them as characters, too. So as stated, their characters are a group of rebels and they have to come to a decision about whether or not they'll give up one of their own to the authorities, or whatever. My guess is that we'll be the authorities. Maybe a team ourselves. ...A ...government team ... /derrrrp. First off, we all need to think up some characters. (Or one character per judge). I'd also like a more solid reason as to why we want this one person, and I'd like a more solid scenario, like ... should they be able to have powers? What about us? Weapons/Powers? And what exactly are we as the authorities? What time period is this? Blahblah. Any help is appreciated because I don't feel like coming up with all of that on my own.
I apologize for any mistakes or any super fails on my part. Spoiler: you guys dont care lol I also apologize for ... singing this. Out of my range forever. ALL OF THE FALSETTO. ... And I apologize for my voice acting. *Crying a little* Oh and my microphone died on me last night (or right after I finished the reference, thank god), so I had to use an old microphone of mine from like 2009-ish, which is so glitchy and terrible it blue screened me twice during driver installation, and has hiss that my other one didn't have. RIP Blue Yeti. I truly loved you. HD and headphones make a difference.

Sis Puella MagicaDeadline: Before May 23rd. What is Duet Roulette? How can I join? Notes; ★ I feel like I'm going to have a hard time finding people who can sing in this language (it doesn't exist), haha. I'm already having a hard time finding people who don't have 'another language' in their can't dos. ;A; I'll make a reference ... Mostly because the 'original' provided, isn't actually the original. It's a cover, and they're pronouncing the lyrics ... Japanese-ly. (Even though I'm not going to have that amazing fake latin-ish accent, either, you'll be able to follow along better with me.) We will probably not voice act, unless you guys want to. If you want to, I'll script some corny Meduka translation of the Japanese. It's not hassle to me, just let me know. If the majority want to voice act, we'll do it. (The original most likely took clips from the actual anime though it doesn't sound like the VAs, so we can do that, too.) ★ Now the way this works is that I'll have this thread closed until the singers are revealed and reply to my invitation. No one claim lines except for the ones who receive the invitation. This song was chosen randomly, as will the four singers be. You'll not know who you're singing with until I get a reply from everyone. ★ The deadline is shorter than a week and always will be unless the song is really long or in another language. There are only four people singing as opposed to 13+ so we really don't need more than a couple of days. That being said, there is no drop-out grace period. If you reply to my invitation and say that you can do it, I'll be expecting your lines unless there is a emergency. ★ If you KNOW you're going to be too busy to record in the next couple of days, then please reply to the invitation letting me know you'll be busy and can't participate. If I don't get a response from you in 24 hours or less from the time I send you the invitation, I'll be generating a new number to take your place. ★Keep in mind that there is a difference between busy and not knowing the song well/not liking the song. If you're going to be fickle depending on the song choice then this project may not be for you. The potential challenge/unfamiliarity is part of the event/game. Try to stick with it. I will always try my absolute best to be respectful towards you and the things you absolutely cannot do. I will re-draw if your name comes up and you've stated you're uncomfortable with the type of song. ★ I also promise on everything I love that I will not be tampering with any of the randomization of it all. I will hit generate, and that is that UNLESS two of the same numbers come up or the song that's chosen doesn't have a find-able instrumental. ★ To pick your 'parts', all you have to do is post when the thread is opened (I'll let you know) and chose the shape you want.

Game: Corpse Party. Size: 150 x 150 Amount: 24 CnC appreciated. There are no spoilers, though here's a warning for some blood and one semi-ecchi. There are a few with super awkward placement ... Experimentation on my part, sighhh.
Wall of very emotional text. My dad is a movie director/producer (my grandparents called me to tell me they watched his movie on TV yesterday), writer, photographer, graphic designer and musician. He pretty much has all of the same talents I have and some other ones, yadda. He's having a mansion built right now, and he has this giant music studio that I'm in love with, derp. He lives in another state, my parents have been divorced since I was seven. Cue daddy issues. Along with all of these wonderful talents and opportunities he also has issues. He can be a control freak, and his tough love is really ... tough. He also has issues with women for some reason. He's been married three times so far, my mom included. He recently divorced my second step mom and he apparently cheated on her, while I was living with him. Ugh, so much backstory needed. I'VE LIVED WITH HIM BEFORE. I lived with him for a little over 2 years before this happened and I had to move back in with my mom. Couldn't take it. Emotions. Guilt. I was fifteen, I think. ANYWAY. Talking to my dad has always been this really stressful, awkward situation. I can never be myself, and he makes me cry so ****ing easily. I'm the most sensitive person in the world, I swear. I have so much pent up inside. I'm upset my parents divorced. My dad promised to move back here, to be with me. When I was 11 (the age someone very close to me died and I was just emotionally hysterical for about three years) I finally called him out on it and he said 'Who cares?' and mentioned his new family, and my step mom, and my brothers. That's probably when it started. He's so strict. He's called me manipulative, constantly thinks I'm lying. He's very spiritual so he's said I was going to hell before, and has called me demon girl, etc. Despite all of that, I still love him, I can't help it, he's my dad. I want his approval. I want his praise. I want him to love me. But that's all...um...just extra angst, unimportant, sorry. I recently sort of dropped out of school. And as some of you know, a boy from KHV is staying with me. When my dad found out he was visiting, he FLIPPED. With the school thing, and the boy thing, I haven't wanted to lie to my dad. I don't want to lie to him, but if I don't...I just really cannot handle him right now. I can't handle the stress and the disapproval and the judgement. I can't. I can't handle anyone right now. Not from KHV, not IRL, I just want to be alone. I want to be completely alone, in a hole. Or just nonexistent. I don't want to tell him I'm still living with a boy. I don't to tell him I didn't do so well in college, and that I'm stuck and don't know what I'm doing in my life. I don't want to tell him I'm miserable and depressed and I hate everything and most people and I just want to die and I need help but I have no one and I don't want him to know how pathetic and terrible I've turned out to be. He's already managed to tell me, "Your mother ruined you." I'm just a motivation-less, bitter, pathetic, emotional little *****. tl;dr I DON'T WANT FEELINGS. So I haven't spoken to him. ... This backfired. He's called 5 times. I haven't wanted to talk. Today, he called his friend Lucas. Said friend came to my house in a panic, knocked on my door and handed me his cellphone, FORCING me to talk to my dad. I almost threw up. My dad demanded to know why I haven't spoken to him, and told me he's worried, and I'm just kind of like, stuttering and getting ready to cry. So I lied. And said my mom told me he called today, but I didn't know of the times before, and that I haven't been home and my mom's been out of town. Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. I can't take it. I don't know what to do. He told me to call him tonight, but what am I supposed to say? What will I do? Why? Why do I have to lie? I'm still trembling. He sounded so angry and panicked. It should not be a big deal, but the pressure and the explanations and the emotions drive me to wanting to just jump off of my balcony and die so I don't have to feel it. I don't want to feel it. How do you stop feeling? I don't want to cry. I wish I were strong. I wish I could talk to him, with strength, and determination and truth and just tell him how I feel. No tears, no wavering. I want him to know, I need his help, but I wish he weren't such a manipulative, controlling liar. I haven't explained half of the things he's put me through, for that matter. It would take too long. But I love him so much, I wish he loved me. I don't want to disappoint him, but I'm a disappointment. I wish my dad was normal. If he was kind, and understanding--yet firm, and supportive, I would be able to depend on him. He'd be able to help me through this rut. I'd be able to do something with my life ... so many opportunities. I'd have a job right now. I'd be singing, professionally, writing songs. I'd be meeting people and networking. If he would just...Ugh. I can't just use him for things. I can't take the emotional ... terribleness. What do I do? What am I supposed to do tonight? How do I talk to him? How do I explain why I didn't call him, even if I HADN'T gotten his messages? How do I sound strong, and not break? I don't want to break/cry. He'll say something. He'll judge me. How do I get over this? I don't really know what exactly I need...Maybe I just wanted to vent. I have no one. I feel so terrible. Thank you for reading, sorry for ... this terrible mess of feelings and sensitivity.

And the winner is... Congratulations to the clever Dr. Wigglz & Tale. They both are immune from this voting session. Your scenarios was fun to read, and you guys actually finished, which was one of the points of the challenge. Don't be discouraged! Keep on truckin'. Go to the challenge thread for your critiques if you've not seen them already. Feedback! The judges have already touched up on this, but once again, if you need more time ask. But you should be making a dedicated effort to post, you know. In other news, the RP Idol pin is DONE! What is this? While we have a winner (who is immune from this poll), we also need to eliminate someone. In this voting session, we'll vote off ONE person. You're voting for who you think should stay, and you MUST post in this thread with a valid, detailed critique/reason WHY. There is no voting for yourself. I'll restate my original rule which is be fair about it. Please do not vote for your friends because they're your friends. Please refer to the sign ups thread for more information on voting. (Though, you should have read it already.) You are REQUIRED to vote. You are REQUIRED to read the other contestants posts. You are REQUIRED to give a reason why. If you're in the bottom (least amounts of votes), the judges and I will decide who stays and who goes. If you need extra help, the judges will be critiquing each role player in the main challenge thread. If you're just following the competition, but you've not entered in it as a contestant, you can vote too. But you're still required to follow the same rules and give a valid reason. If I feel your (or anyone elses) reason is not detailed enough, I will call you out on it. c: (You guys can do the same to me if I seem vague) Happy role playing. :]
lol ponies. Anyway, Maka and I sang a duet together. I really don't know what to say. xD It was for fun...Anyway, it's almost 4am and I'm really derping right now on what else to say. Thank you, Maka, for singing with me. I had fun. [video=youtube;gX3yOs3vpl4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX3yOs3vpl4[/video]
I prefer doing this on MSN, it takes a shorter amount of time, but our timezones don't match up very well. x: We'll be giving immunity to a pair. Which pair do you guys think should win?
For those of you who don't know, I have a Youtube channel on which I upload a lot of covers and such. As you may also know, Youtube likes taking down covers, lol. I haven't had any on my stuff taken down yet, but I'm bound to have a strike against me in the future. ...This is also a concern for KHV Chorus, I guess. My question is whether or not covers fall under Fair use. Obviously the original songs aren't mine and I don't own them at all... But I'm also not claiming to. Fair use seems to have a lot of gray areas that I would like clarification on. It seems there is a rift between people who believe that covering songs (singing songs originally by someone else, can also be an instrument cover, etcetc) is covered by fair use and that you're able to dispute a claim against you in this case and those who believe that it is not covered under fair use. Something I read recently stated that it depends on what you're doing. So, for example, if I was parodying a song--that's under fair use. f I'm critiquing the original song, then it's covered under fair use. If I do something to transform the existing song and somehow make it my own, that's under fair use. However, if I don't do anything terribly dramatic to the original song and I just upload it with minor twinges, it's not under fair use. ...I don't know if anyone here would actually have an opinion or know more about this in detail, but my original question remains. Is it possible to dispute a copyright claim against you via Youtube under fair use? Is it okay to upload cover songs, under fair use? I'm asking out of ignorance. I'm not claiming to actually know anything, which is why I'm looking for opinions and information. Here's some guy talking about it, who apparently successfully disputes the copyright claim by using the fair use argument. Here's some video about Fair Use, and a PDF guide-book.
Zero to HeroDeadline: Before April 26th. What is Duet Roulette? How can I join? Notes; ★ AHAHAHA, good luck. Who suggested this? xDD Oh man. What a great night. Ahem. But seriously.

Finally, I know. Please don't throw rocks at me. Alright, so the poll is still open in V&S, so vote away if you haven't (even though I'm pretty sure our winner is Under the Sea)! I'll probably launch another Duet Roulette during my 'break'. During said break, I will be working on the KHV Chorus Album. In said Album, we'll still have the message from our lovely chorusers, and a special surprise... For the album, I'll also be remastering and mixing some of our older things that make me cringe when I listen to them. At least, I think I've improved since Sep? I'm also afraid of copyright stuff, so I've started to backup our KHV Chorus videos to like mediafire and such (since I can't keep them all on my hard-drive). If anyone wants to help me out by downloadin' them and saving them, too, just in case, I would appreciate it. Just let me know! So the idea behind the names below were that I only showed name when the person hadn't been previously introduced. Names are tedious. /dies [video=youtube;tipc2cy-HZE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tipc2cy-HZE&feature=youtu.be[/video]

█████████████████████████████████████████████ ███████ █████████ Art: redjuice Hey! With the overall success of KHV Chorus, I've been thinking about creating something like this for a while. I was originally going to create a KHV Chorus family, but I think something like this is much more open-ended. This family welcomes all who love to sing. Whether it's digitally, in a choir or band, professionally, or just in the shower for fun, we look forward to having you! This family will be used for typical family things, but we can also share our covers here or any musical experiences. We can also rave about singers that we enjoy listening to, and even come together for some duets and/or collaborations. You do not have to be a good singer, or pursuing a singing career. All that matters is that you have a song in your heart, and you aren't afraid to sing it! While the emphasis is on singing, we also welcome songwriters, music composers/producers, and music enthusiasts (Like music? Want to share? Hello.) so don't be afraid to join if you fall into that category. ~ I will do my best to maintain a positive, encouraging atmosphere, so even if you're not the most confident in your abilities, we will love and support you all the way. I've decided to also include voice-actors/voice-actresses, considering that can be apart of the performance and has a bit of the same qualities ... voice & passion. c': I hope that you will consider joining, and thank you for browsing nonetheless. People always associate me with it, so no, this is not a RP. It is just a normal family with pictures and colors. 【♫】Be nice, okay? Please come and talk to me if someone says something offensive or if you feel uncomfortable with another member. I will do my best to help rectify the situation! /superJayn 【♫】Everyone is welcomed! Please don't tell members that they have to be this or have to be that to participate, because it's most likely not true. 【♫】Activity is never required, but always appreciated. ❤ 【♫】Tastes in music vary. I would like to ask that if someone shares a song that either they produced/sang, or are just sharing for the fun of it, please do not judge based off of musical genre. That being said, I would also like to ask that if someone indirectly expresses distaste for a certain musical genre, you do not bombard them with how amazing you think that genre is. 【♫】We may be playing some games! We can set up some family playdates and vote on what we want to play. If we do this, please be respectful and behave accordingly, even if the game is offsite. 【♫】Have fun! Unlike Heart's Content, there's nothing really strict about this. It's just the average forum family, so please try not to feel intimidated or pressured into anything. They're just colors and pictures. 【♫】If you decide to sign up as the father, you're also signing up to be my musical hubby and help me with this family. No sweat, though. I'm used to being a single forum mom. I'M AN INDEPENDENT WOMANZ WHO DON'T NEED NOBODY SOB. * = Required. Spoiler: Notes An alias is what you would like to be known by, forever, regardless of name changes. You may change your alias. The picture is just for fun. It'll be used the way you see mine being used below. If you leave it blank, I will find a picture I think suits your personality around the forum. If you're really opposed to a picture, then we'll avoid. ~ It will be based off of your favorite color, if you let me pick. If you're going to choose your picture later, state so. c; Code: [COLOR=red]*[/COLOR]Alias: Family Member/Title: Musical Talents/Interests: Gender: Theme Song: Personality: [COLOR=red]*[/COLOR]Contact: Picture?: [COLOR=red]*[/COLOR]Favorite Color: Favorite Genre of Music: [COLOR=red]*[/COLOR]Do you have a microphone?: Anything else you'd like to share?: Alias: Jayn Family Member/Title: Mommy Dearest--*Shot* Nah, the melodic mommy is kawaii desu. Musical Talents/Interests: I like to sing, write lyrics, compose music and put together choruses! I love singing duets, and joining other people's singing projects.

When I'm in a good mood, I'm creative, easily excitable and engaged. When I'm sad, I'm just a giant ball of angst, though I keep it to myself unless someone harasses me about it. When I'm angry I'm kind of a really big jerk, which is also kept to myself unless someone harasses me. *Contact: You may contact me here on KHV, and also on Youtube, LiveJournal, Tumblr, Twitter, MSN (xjayn@live.com) and Skype (LittleJayneyCakes).

When I'm happy, I'm usually quite polite and 'nice', but I get a bit cheeky sometimes. When I'm sad or angry, you'll never see it. The only thing that'll even point towards me being like that is if you see me being ridiculously polite, or maybe even a tiny bit cynical. And just letting you know, I suspect I'm Bipolar. *Contact: I can be contacted on this here site, youtube (hercules1100), MSN (hercules1100@hotmail.co.uk) and that's more or less it, other than my tumblr, the link for which is in my sig. *Favorite Color: Light Green.

I don't really listen to 'normal' music too much, but if I had to pick it would be pop. *Do you have a microphone?: I do, it is built in though, so the quality isn't amazing. Though if need be I might be able to use my PS3 headset, assuming that would work. Alias: Kelly Family Member/Title: The Consulting detective//the middle child.

Gender: On KHV, I go by female. In real life//afk, I plan to cosplay Ciel Phantomhive, my best friend said if I had a male persona, it’d be him, haha. Theme Song: I don’t really think I have a theme. But I guess if I had to choose it'd be either this or this. Personality: Varies. When I’m in a good mood, I can be creative, excitable and easily motivated. When I’m in a sad//bad mood, I tend to curl up in a ball and sleep//cry, a suicidal girl. I don’t tend to tell anyone, in fear I’d be bothering them.

Gender: Female Theme Song: The obvious one and the other one Personality: Generally, I try to be as happy and energetic as possible, but I cannot tell jokes for my life. I'm somewhat shy and I'm actually scared of several people. According to some people I'm really tsundere, but it's really hard to make me angry.

Family Member/Title: Old Grandfather Musical Talents/Interests: I enjoy singing quite a bit, and have dabbled in a range of musical instruments, namely the trombone, trumpet, piano, tenor saxophone, guitar, and cello. I can safely say I am absolutely horrible at these things however. Sometimes and secretly I attempt to write things that vaguely appear to be some manifestation of music. Gender: Male. Theme Song: x Personality: Typically it appears that people consider myself a bastion of serious attitude and some sort of intellect. In reality I am extremely silly with a horribly unfunny sense of humour. I am usually upbeat and chipper and attempt to stay optimistic but at the same time I am also usually under some sort of stress which ebbs and flows in intensity like the tide. One does not often see that side however. *Contact: Skype (microstrigidae), Tumblr (in my signature), MSN (taur_is_cool@hotmail.com), Facebook. *Favorite Color: Green.

Gender: Female, though I often reply with androgynous. Theme Song: Can't Complain by Nickel Creek Personality: I'm a generally nice person, I guess.

I used to play the piano and the recorder. I am interested in learning to play the drums. Every night I fall asleep, listening to my iPod. Gender: Male Theme Song: This song, perhaps. Personality: I tend to keep a lot of things to myself. I get kind of paranoid a lot and there's a chance that I have depression. But if you get to know me, I can be energetic and talkative. But that usually depends on my mood, which tends to vary a lot. Also, I am really indecisive. (hence my title) *Contact: My MSN/Email: Kingdomcrown98@yahoo.ca Skype, but I rarely use it, cause I am shy and my mic broke. Also, on KHV a lot. *Favorite Color: Pink, blue or purple.

Role Play Idol 【Challenge One: Mild Interaction.】 ★ {WELCOME} ★ Hey. You guys did pretty well last time. Please remember your critiques, though, and apply what you've learned here. It will help you. There will be a voting session this time around, so. Secondly, Dr. Wigglz is back for this challenge, considering we didn't vote anyone off and it was an emergency. The judges for this season's RPI will be... Machina Midnight Star hyuge-of-the-twilight and Jayn. Remember that our critiques are meant to help and encourage you. I hope that at the end of this competition, you will have become more confident in your role playing, and will feel more comfortable approaching us (the judges) and your fellow role players, even outside of it. We're here to help. <: ★ {THE CHALLENGE} ★ As you may or may not have noted in the sign-up thread, challenges will be a bit more role play like this season. You'll have a chance to interact with each other a bit more than previously have. This challenge will be more like your first evaluation. The judges will be giving you strong, personal critiques to help you improve and start out well for the challenges to come. That being said, no one will be eliminated this last challenge (edit: referring to challenge 1.). This does not mean to slack off, however. We will be looking very closely at your level of effort and creativity. 'Kay so for this next scenario, Midnight has offered a suggestion. This challenge will be interactive, but still limited. In her own words; In more detail, in this challenge the first poster (whoever posts first is the first poster) will be setting the stage. A 'pressured circumstance' can be anything stressful, like there's a bomb about to go off and you have to escape from a building before it explodes. Or there's someone hunting you and you have to navigate and get out of a certain area alive/kill 'em. Whoever posts first gets the chance to choose what the situation is. The second poster, however, chooses their relationship with the first poster. Are you friends? Mortal enemies? Either way, you both have to decide if you'll team up to defeat the bad guy/escape the place/etc whatever you chose. Message me for clarification if you need it. For this challenge you will be paired up. You'll have until the posted deadline to wrap up the scenario. You may only use ONE of your two characters, and only interact with YOUR partner. Tale_Wing x Wigglz miaulement x flowergothic Nights x Master of Keyblades If you post consistently, but your partner fails to respond regularly, YOU will not be penalized. ★ {RULES AND RESTRICTIONS} ★ ♣ You can (and have to) post more than once. ♣ You must use ONE of your characters in this challenge. ♣ Remember that this is a competition. Try your best to impress me, and the judges. If you're not trying, it will be evident. ♣ For this challenge, you may interact with your partner only. ♣ Posts count, so be relevant. Please don't spam questions in this thread about this challenge, contact me personally. ♣ You have until APRIL 17TH to post. Preferably before then, because we want as much time as possible for the judging process. <: If you do not make that deadline, you are disqualified. Talk to me if it's important. ♣ Be creative and have fun! It is a competition, but it's also about being creative, original and letting loose. ♣ Graphics are okay to use if you want them. But I'm not making them for anyone in this competition. If you use them, you're not scoring any extra points with the judges. I've made it clear that graphics does not equal superior. ♣ Post your posts in this thread, below my post. ♣ You may not have powers but you may have weapons. ♣ Once you submit, that's your post.

I CAN compare original posts to their edits, so please be honest.
The Beast Note: This is an interactive story for Makaze, spawned from a game of ToD. While you may read and comment, I don't really want high criticsm on it. I'm not really trying to write well. Also, Makaze is in control of the decisions made and where the story goes. I suppose you could always suggest choices to him. I'll be communicated with him through MSN for the duration of his ban. If this sort of thing doesn't belong here, that's fine. Just don't move it to the Playground, or the Spamzone. I really do not want to deal with that right now. Before I actually update with Part Nine, I need some time to re-read and get back into it. It's been a while. Contents Spoiler: ToC Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five Part 5.5 Part Six Part Seven (Set-Up) Part Seven Part Eight P a r t O n e You are a beast; transformed into an ugly, hideous creature by almost everyone's standards by [#1]. In your village, you were intentionally or unintentionally egotistical, placing yourself higher than the ones around you for whatever reason. You were stoic and cold to everyone who wasn't in your your friend or in your interest. Cast away and exiled by the village you once lived in after the curse that turned you this way, you find yourself on the outskirts of town. You seek refuge in an abandoned castle, hiding yourself away not out of shame--but rather to avoid the conflict and taunts bestowed upon you and your family (for housing you). The curse can be broken, but only if ... I won't reveal that yet. The castle you reside in is large and luxurious. You have everything you need here, and are able to efficiently hunt due to your appearance and enhanced strength. While in the castle, you have a lot of alone time. Maybe too much. You don't leave the castle often, there's no where with actual humans that would really accept you. One day while you're out hunting, you spot a girl stumbling through the trees, muttering to herself. She looks lost. You can't tell if she's from the village you used to live in yet. _______ Who is the one who turned you into this? (#1) They must be an active member of the forums (KHV). Why would it be them? Would you help the girl, or would you not? Why? Spoiler: Response P a r t T w o You approach the girl, weaving through the trees and pulling yourself through the snow curiously. Her back is turned to you and she is mumbling to herself, unsure of her surroundings. You confirm she is lost that way and alert her of your presence. She [#1] turns around and her eyes widen when she sees you. She thinks you some sort of bear or other animal at first, and draws a hidden blade from the basket she's carrying. She means to attack you, but before her blade can penetrate beneath the heavy fur of your arm, you softly take her wrist and stop her hand. You let her know you mean no harm to her, and ask where she is from and what she is looking for. Her face is pale, and lips blue; though her eyes are fierce. Her knuckles are white from her grip on her thin cloak and the blade. She is unable to answer you, much too cold and frightened to function properly, but still conscious. Only meaning to help, really, you lift her up into the warmth of your arms and bring her to your castle. Treating her to a meal and placing her in front of a fireplace for warmth, you patiently wait until she's able to talk. You have no real connection with this girl, nor do you have any deep feelings for her. You're simply curious, and a tad bit lonely. Realizing you truly don't mean to harm her, she begins to open up. She was thrown out of her home by her family for a reason she refuses to share with you and she was trying to find her way to the village next over to her own, where an old friend [#2] might have been willing to let her stay. She explains that this friend is fickle, changing their mind often and only sometimes pulling through with their promises. You feel you might know who she is talking about, but do not pry. You offer to let the girl stay with you until the blizzard outside stops. She refuses at first, but you remind her that she could very easily die out there and she changes her mind. You show her to her room and awkwardly leave her be, going back to your chambers for the night. _____ 1; What member is the girl? Why? 2; Who is the 'inconsistent' member? Why? 3; In this situation and scenario, how would you be feeling in general? How would you treat the girl during her stay? Spoiler: Response P a r t T h r e e The weeks went by slowly and the snow began to dwindle. During her stay, the girl is treated with kindness. She has a place to stay, and had things to eat. She would watch as you hunted for you both, and as you prepare things. She watches the way you function, and listens to what you say. You begin to feel closer to her, and she begins to open up to you a bit more--though she still refuses to tell you why she was thrown out. She tells you her name. Saxima. Gradually, you begin to introduce her to other places in the castle. The gardens, the library, the guest rooms, the sparing quarters, and the ballroom. She likes to read, but she would much rather spend time with you, for a reason you can't exactly figure out. You're not overly nice to her. You treat her with respect, but you don't kiss her feet. You make jokes, sometimes mean, but she laughs at them. She's sensitive about certain things, you can tell. But you can talk with her normally without censor. She's interested in your curse. Not to mock and scorn you like the others, but to think of remedies, or find out more about you as a person. As a human being. You begin tending to other places in the castle. She helps you get the garden to something that doesn't look utterly ridiculous. You mop and clean the floors together. Everything she touches seems to brighten. The flowers come to life and the castle glows. Door to door, room to room, you clean and straighten and organize. The lonely, abandoned castle you once resided in is filled with warmth and light. One night, while you lay in bed drifting off to sleep, you feel a presence. A body curls up behind yours, seeking your warmth and mumbling something about being cold. You don't turn around. Knowing she's there is enough, and you fall into the most peaceful slumber you've had since the curse. Soon, the weather begins to warm and the snow ceases. You had almost forgotten about your arrangement, until you hear her beginning to pack away some food and such for her journey. She thanks you for your kindness, and mentions she'll visit if possible. She is off to visit that family friend, Noroz, and ask to stay there for a bit. She says now that the snow has stopped the village will be easier to find. _____ 1; Would you offer to take her there or let her find her way herself? Would you let her go? 2; Describe one of the 'good memories' you may have of her during this stay in the castle? Something I didn't mention. Just an overall good memory you might have in this scenario. 3; In this situation and scenario (her leaving), how would you be feeling in general? Spoiler: Response P a r t F o u r You don't want her to go. She brought you comfort and company, and you enjoyed being around her. As she picks up her basket and starts heading towards the entrance, you force yourself to step forward and gently touch her shoulder. A bit awkward, you look to the ground trying to find the words to say. Something that might convince her to stay with you. She stops, and you can hear her sigh softly under her breath. Does she want to leave? You shake your head once to stop the confusing thoughts from stopping you, and you ask her not to stay. You recognize the name Noroz and don't believe she'll be safe there. You want to protect her. Stubborn as always, Saxima mumbles that he will be expecting her and that she'll need to settle down soon. She doesn't understand why you don't trust him, and tries to assure you that no matter what happens during her stay there, she will be safe. You turn her around to face you and wrap her up in your arms again. She has become very dear to you, and you do not want to risk losing her. She resists you at first, telling you that you don't know what you're dealing with. That you're being naive in some way and she has to go. She tells you that she feels as if time has stopped. That being with you made things on the outside seem less important--but that that's not true. She mentions wanting to start a life, and awkwardly, a family. You're not sure if that hurts you or not. You haven't thought much about the physicalness of things. But you don't care. Every time she resists you, you bring up another memory. You only want her to stay and let you take care of her. She feels she needs to struggle, for some reason. It's like she enjoys causing pain to herself and you don't know why. You don't understand. Finally, she looks up at you and gazes into your dark eyes. She drags her fingers over your fur tenderly, and sighs again--this one much gentler. She looks as if she's about to cry, but the basket she had been clutching before has dropped. Her body surrenders to your embrace, and you stroke her hair. She has decided to stay. Months go by and she stays. She is happy, and so are you. The castle is warm and inviting, and spring is approaching quickly. Warmth spreads throughout the gardens and fruits begin to blossom. Together, you pick them and enjoy them. There's just one thing missing. The castle is lovely, no doubt. But sometimes you see her staring out of the windows like she's a prisoner. Like she's stuck. You figure she might want to go somewhere. Maybe she wants to travel? She hasn't had many interacts besides you, and you do not like leaving the castle. You would rather avoid the criticism of the outside. You don't want her being associated with you, the beast as well. You decide to try and contact a friend of yours from your previous village. Maybe they can help. You write a letter to them asking them to come to the castle. _____ 1; Who is the friend you would trust to take care of Saxima and take her into town and such? Active KHV member, of course. Who is trustworthy enough? Spoiler: Response P a r t F i v e Only a day passes before you get a reply. Your good friend What? arrives at the castle. Well, you were good friends before you were cursed and isolated yourself. No matter, he seems to accept you and greets you when he arrives. You introduce him to Saxima, and they quickly become comfortable with each other. You take a bit of time showing him around the castle to ease his curiosity, and catching up and joking around a bit. He says your family misses you, but you ignore him. You can't help but think of [#1] and if they miss you too, though. Saxima gets ready and What? lets you know they won't stray too far. They're going to visit the market in the village next over. They give you a time they want to return and leave the castle. You're alone again, but it brings you comfort to know they'll be back. That she'll be back. So you simply sit and wait for them to arrive. > You've fallen asleep in a lounge chair in the library, finding that you didn't get much rest the previous night. You're woken up by a loud banging at the entrance. You can hear What?'s voice, but you can't make out what he's saying. You gather yourself and head down to the main entrance, opening the door for him. He's holding an unconscious Saxima in his arms. She doesn't look injured, just pale. What? first explains that nothing had been done to her, and she was still breathing and alive. He states she just claimed to feel ill and fainted, but she seemed to be having a good time before hand. He didn't want to contact a medic or healer without your permission, so he brought her back first. You take her to her chambers and lay her in bed, tucking her in. This is when What? explains something else. While they were in the village, he noticed a few signs about Saxima. She was being searched for. He didn't make out exactly why, but he assumed maybe it was because her family hadn't heard anything from Noroz, or because Noroz hadn't found her. _____ 1; If you were to disappear, who (Active KHV member) do you think would miss you the most? 2; In this scenario, what would you do? Would you try to take care of her in the castle, or would you contact someone to help heal her? Would you want to find out why she was being searched for? Etc, etc. Spoiler: Response P a r t 5 . 5 A few hours pass and you tend to her as best as possible. When things don't look any better, you start to think of a possible healer. Someone compassionate and intuitive, who knows what they're doing. [#1] You can't think of anyone off of the top of your head, so you ask What?. He mentions someone that he knows, and tells you he's willing to go off and send for them. You nod and ask him to come back with information about why Saxima is being searched for. When he leaves, you sit by her bedside and wait for him to return, keeping her warm and safe until his arrival. _____ 1; Who is the healer? Spoiler: Response P a r t S i x The whole time you're with her, Saxima does nothing but sleep. Her skin is cold to touch and her breathing is shallow. You take care of her as best as you can, though she doesn't seem to be getting any better or any worse. After a few hours, you get up and make yourself a small meal, sitting at her bedside and propping her up. You try to offer her something, but she doesn't move. You sigh and lean back in your chair beside her. Your mind begins to wander. You think about your time in your own village. First, you think of your family, then you think of your good friend LARiA, and then you find yourself thinking of Clawtooth--the one who cast this spell on you. Clawtooth was a sensible guy, if not a bit dramatic at times. You know that he could have done much worse to you if he wanted to, but instead decided upon this. Something to 'teach you a lesson', you think. If he had never done so, you may not have met Saxima. But you would have been able to stay with LARiA, and [#1]. Every time you think back on the spell, you can't remember it's condition. You can't remember what breaks it. In fact, you can't even remember how much time you have left before it's permanent [#2]. It's like something is missing. A loud crash snaps you out of your thoughts and you sit up, placing Saxima back down comfortably. You move quickly, closing the doors to her chambers and going back to the entrance of the castle. Another crash, and then a voice you recognize. You open the heavy door and What? falls in, followed by someone you've never met before. Hurriedly, the stranger closes and locks the door. Both men are breathing hard, looking flustered. "Where is she?" The stranger asks, removing his soaked hat and cloak. What? introduces him as PaW (Peace-and-War), the healer. You lead them up the staircase. As you do, What? begins to explain that you don't have much time. A crowd of villagers are heading towards the castle, with Noroz leading half of them. Noroz's half believes you've gone mad and kidnapped Saxima, holding her captive. The other half is lead by [#3]. They are the group searching for Saxima. It doesn't take long before PaW turns away from Saxima and stares hard at you. He says there is nothing he can do. He tells you she's not human. _____ 1; What offline, blood family member (brother, sister, mother, father) do you feel closest to? If no one, do you have a good offline friend you feel close to? You may give them an alias. 2; How would you feel about staying a 'beast' forever? 3; Who is leading the second group? Spoiler: Response P a r t S e v e n (SET-UP) @Makaze; She looks pretty human to you, but you turn back to PaW anyway and frown. You want to ask what she is, but it takes a while to form the words. It's not as though you were treat her any differently, right? So what does it really matter? Still... She could have said something. You figure this might have something to do with why she left her old village. You sigh, feeling a headache come on. PaW asks you if you would like to know what Saxima is. [#1] Before you answer, the sound of angry villagers reaches your ears. They're at the front entrance demanding that you come meet them. Seems like Noroz got here first. You can hear a strong male's voice edging them on. You turn away from What? and PaW, going back to Saxima's bedside and picking her up gently in your arms. There are two places that you know of that you can go for safety. [#2]. _____ 1. Do you want to know? 2. You can either take a secret door to behind the castle and escape that way (you'll be outside), or you can take a secret passage underground and travel that way. Alternatively, you can stay in the castle and face the mobs head-on. 3. If you chose to escape, will you take What? and PaW with you? Spoiler: Response P a r t S e v e n You know you must leave quickly. The villagers are getting louder and more ferocious, shrieking all sorts of accusations at you. Or so you think. It starts off with the loud roar of Noroz's voice yelling at you to open the door and claiming you've kidnapped Saxima. Things like this go on for a while, and then you hear 'murderous witch', 'give us the witch'! Your eyes glance down at Saxima for a moment. This is all over a witch hunt? Before you can turn to PaW, demanding he explain, you rationalize with yourself and decide to focus on escaping. Hurriedly, the four of you make it out of the room. What? and PaW trail closely behind you as you descend deeper into the heart of the castle. The stairwells twist and glimmer beneath you, illuminated by the wall-mounted candles on both sides of you. You've explored the castle before, but it almost seems different now. As if, despite your occasional wandering, the walls and ceiling haven't ever really been alive until now. It's almost as if you haven't been alive until you met her. This wasn't an ideal situation for anyone, but at least you could feel your heart beating. You travel a bit further before stopping at a large portrait. You can't exactly remember how you knew to stop here. Yes, you have explored the castle before, but only briefly, right? ...Right? You can't remember much lately. Not how to break the spell, not how you knew where the secret entrance to the tunnels was...but there's too much adrenaline going through you right now to stop and figure out why. You place a claw on the wall to your right, trailing downwards and then up, until you grasp the bottom of one of the shining candle holders. You tug and retract, listening as the portrait shifts and creaks. Dust tumbles down from the ceiling and you step back, burying Saxima's face into your chest protectively. When the portrait is finished moving, you step forward and into the darkness that awaits you. What? and PaW hesitantly follow, looking at each other curiously. They seem unsure as to whether or not they were permitted to follow you. It's until until you face them yourself and ask them politely to keep up that they comply, tugging the portrait back the way it was and scurrying close to your side. It is pitch dark now. You can hear PaW and What? shift softly beside you, along with Saxima's shallow breathing. You can't hear the cries of the villagers anymore. You're used to silence. It's the darkness that bothers you. You wonder if you could have ripped a candle off of the wall and used it, but it's too late for that now. You slowly move your way through the darkness, keeping an ear out for anything suspicious. You begin to calm down a bit. You're certain the villagers will find their way into the castle shortly. You could only hope they wouldn't find the tunnels. You can feel the slop steepen, dipping at the tips of your toes. You warn the others to be careful and travel on. Saxima whimpers against you and you frown. She had such a vibrancy to her in her consciousness. Seeing her like this was driving you crazy. What could you do to help? Ah...That's right. You turn to PaW, though you can't make him out in this darkness. You ask about his diagnosis. What exactly did he mean by her not being human? And was there anything you could do to help? PaW explains that he may have been rash to deny her humanity and that she is, indeed, a witch of sorts. The way he says it reveals his insecurities about the subject. He tries hard to be unbiased and tolerant, but a shift in his general energy makes you feel uncomfortable. He explains the many types of witches and the dangerous spells and hexes they can create and utilize. He says that a witch is generally a human who makes a contract with the devil to receive unnatural spiritual abilities, and that payment can be given in many forms. Worldly possessions, a soul, mortality, sacrifices. What? figures Chevalier's group is probably after Saxima for being a witch, and for any crimes she may have committed from being so. He reminds you of the issues surrounding witches, and that witches are to be put to death if discovered. At least in some villages. Piecing things together now, you realize she probably left to hide out for a bit, if she truly was a witch. Then again, it could simply be speculation. A misunderstanding. You don't care either way, but you are interested in what type of witch she might be... *Note: All witches will wither and die, slowly, if their contract is violated.

The qualities listed won't suddenly apply to her, personality wise. Spoiler: Response P a r t E i g h t You continue to talk until you feel a wind hit your face. You chin turns to point left, the direction of the breeze. Reaching out in front of you, you can tell that this is a fork in the road. Wind comes from the left, while the right seems silent and stale. You don't exactly remember what direction to go in, so you go with the safest option. Some sort of wind must indicate an opening at the end of the tunnel. You don't see any light, but the tunnel on the right isn't any brighter. Your grip on Saxima tightens as you begin to walk. You hear footsteps trailing behind you and sigh exasperatedly. Such a shame that it had to come to this. You thoroughly enjoyed your time with Saxima. You were hoping she would stay with you, in the end. If she's a witch, and she's sick, that must mean she's voiding some part of her contract. You wish she would have said something to you. Given you a hint of some sort. You walk in silence for a bit longer before something rips you out of your thoughts. You can hear a loud, long cry coming from somewhere in the tunnels. You stop walking, feeling a body nudge against yours when you do. PaW groans, rubbing his head and wondering what's wrong. You wait for What? to do the same, but he doesn't. You don't hear him at all. No footsteps, no breathing, no anything. It finally occurs to you that you must have gotten split up somehow at the fork in the tunnel. How could he have gone the wrong way? Why did he keep going for so long? Why did he yell? Is he hurt--or frightened? You gaze out ahead of you, a faint glow of light in the distance. It must be the way out. _____ 1. Do you go back for What?, or trust he'll get out on his own? Why? Spoiler: Response
