OOC: Oh snap, didn't realize you had posted until it was too late. XD

Sowwy, won't post again. =3


IC:


Kaylae's sweatdrop returned as Jena nearly gave herself a concussion, then swelled up again at the captain's obvious display of disgust in young people, it was practically radiating from him, even if she couldn't hear what he was saying exactly.

"Relax, we're coming." Kayley said softly, boarding the water vehicle in a few moments, taking a few steps onto the deck before turning back towards the direction of the pier, waiting for the other to join.

Fishy tilted his head at Cascade's shout.

Refusing to leave Kayley's shoulder, he replied. {Change me mood? 'Tis quite easy, and is very fun, yes it is. Plus, it's very confusing for the people around ya, and that's very useful in battle. But I do it outside of battle too, merely because I am Fishy and I like to play games, and I find this game particularly fun.} He said, grinning wide.

{Anyways, yeah, changing my mood.. Usually I'm happy, and hyper, too, and that gets Razz really pissy when she's around, so I'm usually a bit calmer when she's around, but you wouldn't understand because you have never experienced her wrath. Not that I'm scared, mind you, it's just that if she hurts herself, then she can't play the game no more, and that's bad. The game is always much more fun when there's more people involved.

Eh, but sometimes I get all emotional because sometimes Kay-Kay ignores me.. Usually it's for good reason, but how would you feel if the mother-you-never-had ignored you, even when it was when you were just trying to make her laugh? Oh, confusing times indeed.

And then again, I am always random. But that is required, because in order for the game to be the most fun it can be, I simply must be random! That causes confusion and sometimes laughter, and I simply love those!} Fishy concluded, finally ending his rant.
 
Ooc-
Titan,did we swap patterns again,you starting to act temperamental*wags finger*
Fine,like,I'll think up of a way to amuse myself.

*goes and opens fridge*XD
 
{ooc| ^^; Sorry Alter. You should of told us you wouldn't be here...I assumed you were making an extremely long post, when you appeared and disappeared. o_o; We're so evil... We are worms! *bows*}
 
OOC: Gah, there's no way I can add retroactive actions to all of this, let's just assume that Rai has been very quiet and deep in thought for the whole time, but has followed the group, m'kay? Heh, actually...I see a spot to make a sneaky forshadowy-thingie.

IC:
{Erm...I think you lost me somewhere along the line there...} Chupon muttered, scratching his head as he tried to work out Fishy's statement. {But I know about temperamental women, Ashu is like that, you have to be very carefull and calm around her all the time so she won't get mad and treathen to chop of your limbs or anything.} he turned to watch the sea, a broad grin spread across his little gecko face, obviously enjoying the moment.

Rai on the other hand seemed to be quite far from the present for the while, his eyes bearing a glazed look as he stared at a single point in the horizon without really appearing to see anything, the others might have noticed him slipping into this condition earlier, but with all the commotion around Zachary's wound and the peculiar Wurmple who had joined Jena's team no-one had really payed much attention to it as the boy seemed to be following along anyhow.

In his mind however, the boy wasn't with his friends or even on the ship anymore, he was soaring far above, up in the skies, his body feeling strangely light and his mind filled with obscure thoughts that seemed to lack any real substance, all he knew was that he had to fly, to get somewhere...he didn't know where, he just knew it was somewhere...suddenly, he felt the urge to dive, spotting the ship below, vaguely aware of himself standing on the deck and staring out towards the horizon. But that wasn't important now, what was important was what he was staring at, following the gaze of his real body, Rai spotted a peculiar islet in the distance, the subtle and peculiar play of light in the water around it obscuring it from the sight of others, and he knew that that was where he had to go, where the calling was coming from. He flapped his wings, a majestic pair that seemed to create a spark of light and heat at ever wingbeat, even though he could not see them he could feel their warmth spread through his body, a similar sensation at the top of his head. It was a peculiar sensation, like being on fire without feeling the pain, only the soft, nurturing warmth, a slight ticklish sensation as the flames danced on his body, and it preoccupied Rai's thoughts so completely that he did not notice his own flight until it had come to an end. Peering around, the boy found himself standing in the middle of a small clearing, a thick jungle surrounding him on all sides, a tall mountain visible just beyond. In front of him lay the ruins of a practically ancient building that perhaps bore the closest resemblance to an incan temple, the pitch-black stones faded and chipped with age and overrun with thick, clinging, vegetation, but the pyramidic shape of the structure still clearly visible, he rose to his wings again, flying calmly up to the top of the structure and perching on top of a large slab located at the very center, cryptic runes covering the whole of its surface and four obelisks located at equal distances from it on the four edges of the plateau. This might have been an altar of sorts at one time, but an altar to what? What was the purpose?

As he peered around, Rai felt the familiar tug once more. It was urging him to go onwards still, telling him that he still wasn't quite there. But he was close, oh so close, the thing he was looking for was just beneath his feet, if only he could find a way to get to it. The boy groaned, flapping his wings in aggitation as he circled around the slab, looking for some kind of clue of what to do, as his fury built, he suddenly came to a decision, ceasing his circling and raising his head upwards, feeling the heat build in his throat and holding it in until the sensation became unbearable, at which point he released it, sending a blast of fire diagonally downwards, causing it to strike the runed slab, briefly obscuring the area in smoke and dust.

As he nochalantly flapped the debris away with his wings, the boy was shocked to discover that his attack had been completely fruitless. The slab was still intact, even as the structure around it had taken the full blow of the assault, a sizeable scorched circle surrounding the slab, but stopping just before it reached it. Raistilin released a cry of rage at this indignity, gathering energy within him once more. This time however, he did not release it in a blast, using it to fuel his own strike instead as he soared upwards almost vertically before plummeting in a lethal diving attack aimed straight for this insolent piece of masonry that dared defy him.

Just as he was about to strike it however, the boy suddenly felt his movements slowing, grinding to a halt in mid-air as the peculiar symbols suddenly took on a faint glow. Turning his gaze around in panic, the boy noticed that the symbols were everywhere on the whole plateau, what he had thought was simple black stone turned out to be a mass of symbols, a wreathing teeming mass that seemed to move ever so subtly as he watched, tiny unblinking eyes becoming visible, all focused on him. In panic, Raistlin flicked his eyes downwards towards his feet, quickly noticing the reason for his screeching halt. The symbols were there too, countless diminutive creatures clinging to every inch of his feet, clambering up on them, their unblinking blank stares locked on him. The boy struggled to get free, attempting to unleash another burst of fire only to find the heat stuck in his throat as more and more of the creatures leapt upon him, the outer ones beginning to swirl about in an orb that encased him altogether, chanting rhytmically as they closed in on him from all sides. Closer, closer, closer...

"
Uuuu-nooown...
Uuuuuu-nooooown...
Uuuu-nooown
"

{What are you?!} he tried to shout, his words drowned in the chanting {What do you want from me?!}

The creatures moved ever closer, their chanting growing louder, their movements faster as they swirled around him, closing in for the capture.

{No!} he cried out {Not that! I will not suffer that indignity! I will soar free! I must soar free! How else will spring come?! Don't! I'm warning you! No!}

"Nooo!" Rai exclaimed, suddenly snapping out his trance and jerking forward, just barely managing to catch the railing and clutching to it for dear life, his knuckles whitening. The boy did his best to calm down, taking a few deep breaths and attempting to make sense of these events in his head, his face deathly pale and a haunted look occupying his eyes.

Oh,yayness!!Titan's done,congrats to you Titan!!^^
Yeah,we RPed alot today,and,if I'm going to be a worm,I shall be,but I must be a cute one!And,a tasty worm at tha too!!^^

I actually did something constructive and read today's paper.o.0
(After opening the fridge and finding out tha there were no more cheese and clams in there.)
Goshness,too many things are happening in Singapore,Yibber and her mind cannot keep up,she really half-snoozing infront of the comp,till' her sister came out and woke her with her incescent shouting,asking me to play the X-box her.^^''
Now,I have passed the controller to my dad,and he and me sis'll be distracted by the X-box,so Yibber can RP even more!!
Muahahahahaha!!!*hack*
Oh,and such a good post,yes,it makes Yibber's brain hurt just thinking about it.

Ic-
Jena was startled by Rai's sudden outburst,quickly putting the Wurmple on the deck of the ship.The boy looked as if he'd just been through some sort of ordeal.But,wasn't he with them,the whole time?True,he had been mysteriously quiet.

"Rai?Rai?You okay??"the girl ran beside the boy and snapped her fingers infront of his face.Shaking his shoulder as she did.

{Gahah!!}Cascade,too was taken by surprise,jumping backwards, landing on his back.
Ryne sighed and helped the Mudkip up,suddenly,she felt rather strange again.The Ralts sensed some sort of emotion emitting from the boy,she just couldn't place her hand on it.

{Humph!What's the boy's problem,the boy's probem,what is it?Looks like he's seen a Pigeotto or something.}the Wurmple asked the pokemon,crossing his six of his front legs.
 
{Yeah, you're looking real pale Rai. Are you sick?} Chupon asked worriedly.

"I...the island...I..." Rai mumbled incomprehensibly, loosening his grip of the railing just a bit and quickly peering out over the horizon again, as if expecting to see the islet like he had in his...dream, yes that's the only thing it could have been, a crazy dream. But how did he remember it so clearly still? The feeling of flight, of complete and utter freedom and the horror of those creatures climbing up on him...dragging him down...taking away his precious freedom. It had all been too logical for a dream...and how could he have been sleeping if he had kept up with the group for the whole time? He did remember discussions, an encounter with a Wurmple, was that a dream too? No, the Wurmple was right there, watching him with his tiny arms crossed, so that had been the real happening then.

"I...I'm fine..." he replied at last, attempting to put on a smile even though it turned out rather half-hearted "I was just...just spacing out for a moment. I have no idea why I shouted, like that. Sorry if I scared you." Jena looked honestly worried, it was a new feeling for Rai...to have someone who looked out for him, other than his pok?mon. Granted, his parents had loved him, at least his father had, and mother too, he supposed, in her own manner. But they had never really been there for him, always having some own bussiness or the other to attend to. Rai decided not to tell Jena, or anyone else in the group for that matter, about the dream. That was all it was, a dream, an illusion, he didn't need to get his friends worried for him just because of that.
 
Maxie narrowed her eyes. As usual, the change in them was immediate; there was that intelligent spark again, the one that suggested that she knew far more than she was letting on.
She didn't run and fuss, knowing very well that it often makes the person feel worse. Many times in the past, Maxie had just managed to control her emotions, when Fang or some other well wisher had started clucking and cooing and asking what was wrong. That normally broke her angsty dam and sent tears flooding. Instead she simply watched, her suspicion growing all the while.
She and Fang exchanged glances. She could tell from his quivering ears - the zubat's equivilant of not meeting your eyes - that something was not quite right about Rai's 'spacing out'. Nothing escaped Maxie's quick eyes, and Fang's ears never missed a trick. Together, the pair were sharp as a blade. The girl turned to Rai, looking strangeyl dangerous.

"What did you see?" Maxie demanded, an edge to her voice. She moved towards Rai, with her hands locked together and her teeth clenched. "What did you see just then?" If Rai had been anyone else, Maxie would have pushed him out against the wall and held his throught until he talked. But Rai was her target... she had to be nice.

{Maxie, calm down.} Fang whispered.

"Are,are you sure?"Jena still felt rather worried,it wasn't everyday somebody would just suddenly shout out 'no' for no peticular reason at all now was it?

{Ooohhh...looks like someone fell asleep eh??}Cascade rested one side of his head on both his paws,pretending to be asleep.

{Now's not the time to fool around Cascade!}Ryne reprimanded the Mudkip,softly slapping his back.

"Well,if it was a bad dream,that would explain it but...you were here all along right??"the girl noticed her Mudkip's actions,looked at the others for support.Maybe she was just imagining things,rubbing her eyes with one hand before slowly blinking them.
Cascade stuck his tougue out at Ryne,who,like the Wurmple crossed her arms as well.

Then,at Maxie's words,something clicked at the back of the girl's head.Something about this wasn't right,the girl was sure she had studied on this before.About seeing things in the mind.One Sensei had taught her about it and the alinement of the stars or something back when she was just a little hirlOh!If only she had been paying attention!Something stuck at the back of her mind was trying to get out.Jena bit her lip in fustration,furrowing her brow with concentration,but to no avail.
 
OCC: Okay.. Flissie's here now.. Now all of you posted so much.. Have ta' think so hard ta' think on how ta' make an entry.. That's what I hate about turning up late...

IC:

Silver was left speechless for quite sometime after the half-hug Jena gave her.. She has never been hugged before by anyone except for her Master.. Maybe she was hugged before when she was younger..when her real parents were still around.. but it was too long ago for her to remember.. All she could remember about her real parents was that her mom was a really beautiful woman and her dad a real handsome man.. Her parents love to travel around the regions alot and often leave her with her uncles and aunts.. Although the time Silver spent with her parents is very little, it's still better.. compared to now where she don't even get to see her parents.. All thanks to those stupid Neon knights.. I'll hate them for all my life.. I vow to take revenge on them when the time comes..

Just then, a sudden shout from Rai interrupted her thoughts... "Rai, are you alright? You really look bad.. Is there anything wrong? You can confide in us.. It's alright.. Really... alright.. Come on.. share it with us.."

OOC: Fuu... -_- Tried to wake up early, but I guess I was too sleepy. ^-^; It's like 6:30 AM here!

Ah well, not too much happened while I was away. ^^

Oh! I am left-handed! ^-^ Though, I was ambidextrous (both) for a short time when I hurt my left arm. Got pretty good at writing with my right hand, and drawing with it too. Probably not good at it now since I haven't used it for a while. I swear I used to hate it when I was in class playing soccer or softball or something in PE, and I would use my left hand/foot/whatever to play and the others kids would shout at me "Stupid! You're doing it WRONG!" and I would have to remmind them that I was left handed. Ugh... -_- Kids can be so accusatory. I didn't like 6-9th grade, those years were very bad in the area of teasing. o.o

As for religion... I am a biologist. ^-^ Plus I grew up in a family that wasn't too strict about religion; my parents believe in an odd mixture of Chistianity, Hinduism, and Daoism. ^-^; They're an odd bunch. Me, I don't really have one; the ones I've learned about and tried to practice just don't do it for me. *shugs* Perhaps I'll settle on one someday, but for now... I do love learning about all of the various religions though; they're so interesting! I think my favortie to learn about is the Hindu religion; it's just so different from the ever-prevalent Christianity over here in America.

Holy bananas I tyed a lot! o_O Ah well, I had to read all of your guys' posts. ^^ Now 'tis payback!! *evil grin*

Oh! And Bubu ish adoable!!! Plushie has cute goldfishies. And Flissie, it's not a Lanturn I'm drawing, but it does slightly resemble one. *is sneaky*

You shall see though in a couple hours. When I have time to color it. O_O

Okay, now to the RPing! *just as everyone's leaving* ^-^;


Zachary
===========

Zachary was enjoying the ocean air; it was something he had hardly ever gotten to smell and enjoy. Ron wasn't, the air thick with salt and water was making him feel a bit woozy... and the boat wasn't helping. His shiny head swayed back and forth, his light blue eyes going back and forth too.

{Ugh... don't know about this boat Zack... oh... I think you'd better put me back in my ball...,} he said woozily, tugging at Zack's jeans. Zachary looked down.

"Oh... right," he said, and soon Ron was gone in a flash of red light.

That's when Rai began to yell, and the others all turned around to him. Jena seemed pretty concerned, and Zachary didn't blame her; it was a bit unnerving. Maxie spoke up and seemed utterly convinced that Rai had 'seen' something. Zachary folded his arms, seeing Rai's expression of which looked like he didn't really want to discuss it.

"Eh, it was just a dream or something; nothing too serious, right Rai?" he asked, trying to make the situation seem less strange. Truthfully though, Zachary had never seem anyone come out of a dream while he was walking with his friends....
 
No Lanturn? O well.. Never mind.. Flissie randomly noticed that meh Pokedex ish very empty.. 106 Pokemon only(National Pokedex).. Needa go catch those rarer and common ones pokemon in Hoenn.. And yeah.. Everyone's leaving.. Flissie's going soon too..
 
Meh?? Pissed off? Rarely do.. I seriously didn't get pissed off though.. Surprised ya' Yibber?
 
OOC: Fweeee! Yibber's drawings are so cool! You draw people very well Yibber, and pokemon too. I remember asking Alter who drew the Alphimega piccy because I was so impressed with it. ^-^ Aww, and Ron's so cute too! Your drawing style makes me think of the pokemon mangas (big surprise there, huh? ^-^). I've always wanted to read those; maybe I should buy some.

So, great job Yibber! Oh, and I can't post an IC because no one's posted one after mine... XD
 
OOC: Like PMs checked, and comments have been given in the reply PM so yeah, check thy PM inbox Yibber. Oh, and please, no more OOC only posts from you two today, m'kay? This is supposed to be an RP after all. XD Oh, and I've figured out a loverly little twist for the big plot...*Rubbs hands together and cackles in an evil manner*

Muahahahaa!!! Yes, you shall feel the fearsome fury of the...thing which I won't reveal yet. >=-D

IC:

As Maxie advanced on him, demanding the boy to tell her what he had seen, Rai felt a strange sensation within him, turning to look the girl straight into the eyes, the boy's own pair seeming to hold a peculiar glow to them, hatred blazing in every inch of them, the blue carrying an unusually dark shade

How dare she? Rai thought furiously, How dare that pathetic human make demans on me? Just as he was about to express these thoughts out loud, Rai finally caught onto the strangeness of them, the glow extinguishing and leaving his eyes as they were before. Pathetic human? he thought for himself Why would I call humans pathetic? I am one myself. And Maxie...she's not pathetic...she's just...well, kind of blunt and short tempered...but not a bad person, really---- he shook his head, hoping to dislodge these strange sensations by doing so, before finally preparing to reply, gratefull for Zach's intervention.

He nodded, "Yeah, it was just dream." he concured "It was nothing really, and I don't think I can even explain what I saw. Like I said, it's no big deal. I mean, dreams don't mean anything, right?" he waved a hand dismissively "They're just...well, dreams, fiction."

OOC: This might be my last post for a little while; Yugioh's on at 8:00!! ^____^ *has been waiting for this season to come for a year* Me likies Egyptian stuff!

Heh, Alter sounds like a teacher. XD


Zachary
==========

Zachary stared with a slightly open mouth. He thought that for a moment he had seen Rai throw out an expreesion of the utmost hate upon Maxie. He was about to leap over and grab Maxie away from the boy before he exploded on her like a volcano. That must've been what he looked like when he had confronted Ron's previous owner. Maxie was being a bit rude with her prying, but yeesh....

However, the look passed quickly, which was even stranger, and Zachary hadn't needed to act. He tried to shrug it off, but it was quite odd. He figured that perhaps there was more to Rai than he though, and once again became his usual, cheery self.

"Well, that's that, now, how well do you guys think you'll be as trainers? Think you'll be good or bad, or in the middle?" he asked, attempting to change the subject. He certainly didn't want to see that face on his friend again. Hopefully Maxie would take his cue and Rai's glare and just drop it.

EDIT: Spelled 'shrug' as 'srug'. >.> Oh well, wasn't as bad as my 'noobs' slip-up in another thread. @_@ I had accidently put a "b" as the "n" in that thread. XD
 
OCC: Meh, I actually clean forgotten about the RP..

IC:

Still not convinced by what Rai had been trying to assure everyone about for the past few minutes.. Silver asked "Has it got something to do with us?? Or anything of that sort?" She was pretty sure it was.. If not why wouldn't he share it with all of them?

{Hey!! What about the game? Shall we continue? Let me ask a question.. How do you all feel about your trainer?} Yukari asked feeling ready to critisize Silver..

{Err.. Silver's a really great trainer.. I so enjoy her company..} Miruka replied seeing an argument following up..

{You sure she is? I doubt so..} Yukari said..

OCC: Meh.. I think i should log off...
