Wow.. that's a lot of Chibi...

...and hamsters...

-----

The three continued to explore the strange land. Beowulf still couldn't get over the size of the place, and the strange technology. Take one example. The three of them had passed what must have been one of those mini-airships, when a voice had called out.

"Step away from the vehicle!"

This place just got stranger and stranger. Flying carts... moving surfaces. Automatons, like Zynk, but much cruder. The occasional contestant - the two arguing men were a good example. Similar looking, they must have been brothers. Still... a good sleep spell had got them out of the way without undue violence.

These people are still pawns, like me! I can't let myself hurt them if I can avoid it!

And then there was the pair of pants lying in the centre of the causeway...

Bumping into Ifrit and Minsc again came as a shock - and this time, Beowulf wasn't jumping off the edge for anyone. Course... the hamster guy was too dangerous to attack, but Ifrit was fair game... He'd left that fight with a pretty nasty burn on his arm, but one of Zynk's 'magic drops' had cured that...

Sorry, my posts are getting sucky. I'm not handling the late nights as well as I was before.
Votes as follows:

Tatsuya
Katsuya
Ifrit

NOT Minsc. None of these votes are personal, by the way, it's just that Minsc is one of my favourite characters

*is gonna get killed for this post*

OOC:Quite correct!!! The game is awesome! But keep an eye out, cause it is possible to skip Ashton and not be able to have him in your party....

TH: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Keep drawing!!! They're awesome!

And since I have nothing intelligent to post, I'll leave you with an even more juvenile remark: BARREL!!! ^__^

Leon watched as Rena watched Dias.
"You have Claude" he said under his breathe.
No one had heard him. The day did seem to get a little more interesting.
As he was thinking about Dias, he heard a scraping noise coming from behind. He turned to see what it was and noticed an automated machine strolling his way.
"Interesting..." Leon said aloud.

The robot approach Leon:
"My you are looking good today, young sir" the robot said.
"You are a good person, a nice person" he continued.
"My you are looking slim and trim"

"Uh, thank..you" Leon said a little confused.

"Have you done something new with your hair?" the robot asked.
"It looks fabulous, it makes you look so young."

"What is wrong with you..." Leon said to the bot.
As he finished his sentence he noticed a sticker placed on the robots arm.
"Self Esteem Bot 2060" Leon said aloud.
He started chuckling to himself.
"How do you like my clothing?" Leon asked.

"It's looks great!" the robot replied.
"Have you lost weight?"

"This is too good." Leon said while laughing.
"His love is real, but he is not."
He continued laughing.

The robot had taken off, but not without saying: "Goodbye, young sir."

Leon watched the robot disappear toward the horizon.
All he could think was: 'Why did these people need Self-esteem bots?'

OOC: Saint7, i'm not all that clear on Ashton's barrel obsession, I just played off on it.^.^ He's a weird one.^^;;

OOC: Ugh. Note to self: Buy your own computer. It sucks to have family that wants it too!

---

Hours of walking through the giant city had revealed nothing... not a single person in sight. There were a few drones milling about, but many of them wouldn't respond. The only one that actually said anything was along the lines of "unable to comply: ordered not to take orders from anyone" or such...

Perhaps Vivi was the only one here...?

"Great... small problem..." Sylph suddenly said. The mage spun around only to see him vanishing before his eyes. "The Mana has weakened... I guess this means it's time to go... I'll see you soon, Vivi..."

"W-wait...!" the mage yelled. But it was too late. He was alone again...

Now what to do...? Traveling alone was dangerous, especially with all these drones that were capable of... well, anything.

A strange, rotating set of rings lay to the side of the road... the mage went over to examine it. Perhaps it would tell him something about Esthar...?

Touching the rings produced a keypad with a green and red button. An automatic voice responded. "Do you wish to save?"

Huh? "S-save...? Save wh-what...?"

"Do you want to save?"

"O-okay..." the green light on the panel lit up and the mage pressed it.

"One moment please..." The rings began to spin faster and faster... then, there was a pulse of blue light as the computer spoke again.

"Save complete. ID saved as "Vivi," Level 60. Thank you."

Well, whatever that did, the mage was uncertain. Unfortunately it didn't provide him with the information he required... well, there was always the handy dandy Scan spell... good thing spells don't disappear as you use them! That would really stink...

"Scan!"

Lifeforms detected. Select a target.

The first name that came to the mage's mind was Marle, the girl that he traveled with yesterday... was she safe?

Lifeform ID: "Marle" confirmed. Level 62. HP within acceptable levels. Distance: 506 m.

Well it was good to know she was safe... the mage had felt bad about leaving the group suddenly the day before. He set off in pursuit of his friend...

Oh, Thunder Blossom, I almost choked on my cookie from laughing at your picture!! That was hillarious! Well done!
*will not be eating any more when he clicks on fanart links*


And, just to leap on the bandwagon, my first two votes go to Ryo, and Zidane.

Ronfar - FFO Survivor

Ronfar was appalled. “I’ve been in some hell-holes in my time, but this place is absolutely disgusting.” There were no saloons or shady basement bars in Esthar. Every centimetre of space had been accounted for at the design stage and there were no variations. The Ragnarok winebar in which the adventurers found themselves gleamed as though every surface had just been polished. There was a fresh and invigorating scent of mountain pine in the air. Tinny instrumental renditions of instantly recognisable popular music wafted down from the PA system. “This is no place for civilised men to drink.”

Izlude and Ronfar both sat down on stools at the bar, waiting to be served. Ghaleon found a comfy armchair nearby, sat and crossed his legs. When it became apparent that no one was tending the place they took their bottles of choice and left an IOU stating their names and normal planets of residence. Ghaleon on the other hand simply watched them, and when it became apparent that they were not going to do or say anything of importance starting flicking through a nearby copy of Timber Maniacs.

Several bottles and some random banter later, the warriors were beginning to appreciate the surroundings far more. It was at that point that they heard a faint sobbing coming from a booth in the corner. As they shuffled over to investigate they found an android slumped over a table mumbling, “No dishashemble, no dishashemble…” repeatedly.

“How the hell does one of these mechanical things get drunk?” Izlude whispered in awe, “Get me whatever he’s having.”

The table was covered in batteries, some of them showing signs of having been chewed on. Ronfar picked one up and examined it. “I see. These expired five years ago. An excellent year.”

The android sat back and looked bleary-lensed at the pair. “Whoo, shoo twoo?” It asked.

“Ronfar, look!” Izlude pointed at the robot’s chest, on which was embossed M.A.R.S.H.A.L.L.-05. “It’s the Marshall!”

Ronfar bashed the Marshall repeatedly over the head with his mace (it made a hollow clanging) until the drunken droid started to register that someone was trying to get his attention. “The keys” Ronfar spoke loud and clear, pointing to the handcuffs, “Where are the keys?”

“The keesh? The keesh… Keesh!”

“’Keesh’? You mean, like a flan?” Ronfar asked it.

“I think he meant keys”, Ghaleon pointed out as his leaned against a wall watching them with a mixture of amusement and tired resignation.

“Yes, where are the keys?” Ronfar asked again, even more loudly.

“The keesh areee … I hash to tell you, I’sh been working ash a mainenansh droid on the shide. I’sh shorry. I’sh betrayed my dutish ash a offisher of da law.”

Izlude patted to android sympathetically on the back as it stood and wobbled towards the door.

“The keesh …. miritery compreksh … compreksh”

“I belief he means that the keys are at a military complex.” Ghaleon translated.

The three warriors followed the Marshall as it shuffled out of the bar.

“No … dishashemble”

“Alright, man” Ronfar comforted it, “It’ll be alright.”

Feanor
FFO Survivor - Zynk

Zynk had been more than eager to get into a fight by the time one arrived. He had been upset with having to run away from the Hampster Man called Minsc and the fighting he had done so far today against the Oriental youth had not been satisfying enough for him. Zynk had not been entirely as a figting maching but during the tournament it was the thought of battle that was forever on his mind.

Thus when the team once again encountered Minsc and Ifrit he was pleased that Beowulf was ready to do battle this time. However Zynk had been warned not to attack the hampster was dangerous not only from Beowulf but Angrim as well who still was cautious of the man and his hampster.

Zynk could not take the heat from Ifrit any more than a normal human could. His body and circuits prone to over heating at times. Thus Zynk resorted to using a more long range and effective tactic against the massive beast.

Zynk reached round to his side where a small brown pack was attached. He slipped his hand in and took out a simple, small white ball.

"BLIZZARD" He shouted as he through the ball straight at Ifrit while he engaged in battle with Beowulf.

The small white ball struck Ifrit on the side of the head and cracked open. A blinding light poured up from it and as it disappeared a shower of minute ice shards appeared from behind Ifrit and struck him in the back.

Zynk then turned his attentin towards the man with his hampster. He was determined to see why evertone was so afraid of the man. No longer in the mood to fool around Zynk touched the dark ring of twisted metal on one of his fingers, the cursed ring.

"BOLT" A series of neon blue thunder bolts came down upon the knight and fried not only him but the hampster everyone else seemed so afraid of.

"What was all that about dangerous hampsters? Zynk thought to himself. Unaware of the army of small cretins that was still roaming the city.

------------------------------------------------------

Ok here are my final votes for the round

IFRIT
MINSC
KATSUYA


R-VOTE GOES TO GHALEON (gotta be careful of all the private voters neh?)

OOC: Like Nick said, it's late again here. I haven't used up all my votes but then I can't be bothered at 2:30am. (I won't even put colours in on this post) I'll try to spread my votes out over the course of the whole day tomorrow. Here's hoping I make it through.......

What ever happens. You all tomorrow!

Thunder Blossom
All-purpose Magical-girl!

After moving away from the source of a strange burning meat smell, Mizuki unplugged her nose and took a deep breath of the wonderful aroma of cold metal. Once again, she had lost track of whomever she was pursuing... so she sat down near a buzzing noise, and took a closer look at her wound. Since the attack, she had spent her time teleporting or walking. Whenever walking started to make the wound hurt, she'd switch to teleportation... but whenever she overexerted her powers, she would go back to walking. But now, it became more painful...

Still, ever since she was betrayed by her master... a strange flame had been born in her. She couldn't let anyone walk by who would do this to her. She was going to track down that blue-haired man... and... and...

// I'm not that destructive, am I? //

She heard a strange sound, then heard footsteps... small ones. The way this person walked... familiar. Mizuki would've hid in time... when she recognized a figure coming forward. The small mage with the oversized hat.

// What was his name again? ...Vivi? //

She stood up, hiding the wound from the mage with hands clasped to her chest. It still hurt.

"Is that you, Vivi-san?" she asked, almost bringing a hand out to motion to him. The mage looked up, surprised... but in a pleasant way. Finally, he had found some life out here. Still... there was that aura of worry that forever followed him. Mizuki could tell...

"Don't worry too much, Vivi-san. Other people are here too, and everything is all right."

Mizuki considered that Vivi could tell her what was going on... or at least lead her to that blonde girl or Beowulf-san.

"Could I come with you, please? I can help you out..." Mizuki said, stepping towards him. She decided she had to sound more confident than that...

"A ghost, a toast, a roast, bring 'em on!"

// Did I really just say THAT? //

-------

Not a movie quote, but an RPG one... ^-^ And with her condition... Mizuki is on the brink of being a closet EX-type Shadow. Gah... (scrambles around for my Star Wars quote book...)

Red Mage For Life

She wasn't Marle, but she was someone he knew... somewhat.

Mizuki didn't seem too dangerous, at first glance... but the mage knew about her teleportation powers... that and the fact that the smallest individuals can be the most powerful sometimes... never judge a book by its cover.

Whatever the case, a companion was more than welcome. "S-sure! I w-was looking f-for someone... a-anyone..."

"Well then, let's get going, Vivi-san!" the cheerful girl smiled as she teleported off, then reappeared a few seconds later. "Whoops, forgot you can't do that!" She smiled, a little embarrassed.

As the two walked onward, Vivi noticed the girl was clutching her stomach... he knew there were hostile enemies here, as fortunate as he was to avoid them all so far. Unfortunately, it seemed that Mizuki lacked the luck the red mage had had today...

"A-are you al-alright...?" Vivi asked the wincing girl.

"I'm alright. Just a small injury... no big worries."

"I-I th-think I c-can help..." he took his staff in hand and chanted the spell of Curaga. The winding green and blue auras healed the injury completely.

"Thanks, Vivi-san!" she cheerfully exclaimed. The two continued onward, looking for anyone familiar along the way.
