Uh.. dry...

while your totals may be true, none of those are from my team (as far as I know. I know for a fact they're not from me.)

Just thought I'd mention that...

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Five - The Return of...
(OOC: Yeah, but you're the next closest team, after "The Reluctant Ones". You now have 8 votes...and that's counting what I did. We still have 14. I just wanted to make to where there was SOME chance that we might actually survive this round...but alas, it seems that it is not meant to be.:( It seems that people don't take kindly to second chances. :( :( :( )

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Five - The Return of...
It DOES matter that I can't find a reason to attack. During these tournaments, I halfway change into my character. I know what makes him tick, and for the most part, he'd have no reason or means to attack anybody right now!

This is not about winning for me, either. Winning is a mild second, something offered to draw in people. I view these things as a chance to improve my writing skills. I can watch the reactions of people in a quick-decision environment, and draw what I need from there. I'm only sponsoring because it adds a bit more spice to the mix, and because there were no Sidekick positions open this time around.

One of the things I can't stand is undescribed votes. If someone attacks me without a description, I'm left with nothing to work off of. I don't like leaving someone else in that position any more than I have to. This is why my vote dumps are either explained briefly, or self-nullifying, like A-voting and R-voting the same person. Or, as in a previous round, Absorbing off one member of a team to heal another member of the team.

Now, without further ado, I am off to bed.

Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Five - The Fall of...
(OOC: ...I can understand what you're talking about. RPing just for the sake of RPing. Getting into character. As for me...I'm here to win. Or to lose knowing that I gave my best effort to win, and that the only reason I couldn't was that the cards were stacked against me. I just don't like losing. :\ But that's me. If you just don't care, then that's you. :blank

Oh, well...if we don't win this time, maybe my team will win the next time...|I

By the way...what's the name of the desert that Black Mage is obsessed with in the 8-bit Theater?! I can't figure that out...:( )

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Five - The Fall of...
I hear where you're coming from, Dareon. I'm in it mostly for the writing, and couldn't really care that much if I didn't win. I do undescribed votes, though, because they're something that I don't want you to work off of. My character never ran up to Yoshi and punched him. An undiscribed vote is about the same thing as E-mailing Krizak and telling him that I'm voting, except that you get XP. I don't bring them up in the story because there is no reason for me to do that.

And also, I do undescribed votes because I want the XP, most of all. After all, I want access to the special level-3 abilities. When I do undiscribed votes, my character isn't doing it, I'm just telling Krizak that I want to burn some votes.

Yeah, yeah, I know that I shouldn't do them, but I get to the end of the round and realize that I haven't used any votes. Sorry.

Did you notice that the two great angels only have one wing each...?

According to a legend handed down in Nisan...
God could have created humans perfectly...
But then, humans would not have helped each other...
So that is what these great single-winged angels symbolizes...
In order to fly, they are dependent on one another.

Dry: Krizak said "dessert"(something sweet tasting that comes after a main course), not desert(a barren place with no water). And as we all know, the dessert Black Mage like's best is "pie".(Mmmmm. Pie... :lick )

Blarg! My brain goes dead whenever I try to write something. Guess I should just start planning my character for the next tournament.

Round 5
Two Hands - III

Ivan winced in the dimming daylight, bolting up from where he sat. He had slept too long! He could've been sniped at by the others...or worse. Breathing heavily as if waking up from a restless dream, he looked around.

"Alright Ivan, time to stop moping. No Djinns, no Psynergy...just humanity. Just, for once, being like everyone else, like I used to wish. When you're normal, you're not an easy target for people who're afraid..." Memories of the hardships he'd endured due to people mistrusting his powers flooded back to him. It was always the people he really wanted to help that seemed to be his greatest critics.

It was only as he took another look around did he see the dark figure standing several meters away, casting him a sidelong glance. Was it... Ivan scanned his bracer - the jewel was glowing its iridescent blue. It was true, then - that man was Kuroki Kaze, the Black Wind...and the third member of he and Vivi's team. He almost felt as if it must be a mirage, that if he approached, the image of the black-caped man would flutter and disappear.

But he kept looking at Ivan, and Ivan decided to come closer.

"Hey...you're Kaze...aren't you?" The young adept started slowly, his eyes open and observant. "I'm Ivan; I'm your teammate. I'm glad to finally meet you." Kaze made no move, and Ivan decided against extending his hand for a friendly shake. "So...what do you think about all this here?"

"I cannot help you. I am weak." Kaze slumped down against a smooth, gently curved metal surface. As if to illustrate a gospel truth, he brought forth his arms from under his cape, opening his empty palms upward, a profound show of nothing. "Nothing to offer, nothing to give."

"Hey, what happened to your Demon Gun? That pod on your arm's gone now!" Ivan marveled in amazement as he saw Kaze's two bare hands. For as long as he'd been part of the tournament, he'd associated Kaze with the image of the transforming golden pod - the two were practically the same thing. To see him without it...it was like looking into the face of a man not quite the same.

"Demon Gun..." Kaze rubbed his right wrist, as if assuaging a deep-seated pain that troubled his bones.

"Listen..." Ivan sat down beside the noticibly taller man, his yellowy-blonde hair a stark contrast to Kaze's long length of dark brown. "...I don't know what you're feeling, but I'm scared right now, to be honest with you. You may wonder how I knew your name - it's because I saw it in your mind; it's not your name, but it's what everyone calls you, the closest thing you have to a name. I can see peoples minds, touch and feel them. Been able to ever since I was born. But now, somehow, I'm without every power I have...and I feel so..."

"Helpless." Kaze's one mellow word finished Ivan's sentence effectively.

"You too, huh?" Ivan stretched his hands to make a cradle behind his head, slouching back against their great steel recliner. "Growing up as a psychic was tough sometimes, but those abilities and powers...they helped define who I am, how I act! But I wonder if that was a folly all along...to grow up with those powers in such a way that they became integrated into my everyday life. And now look at me; I'm weaker now because of it. Maybe those nay-sayers were right, that power should always be held at arm's length..."

Kaze held his right arm out in front of Ivan, and the boy could see the faint marks of old scars and abrasions along its length.

"Power is not specifically for creation, or destruction. Its one duty is to serve a master." Kaze mused at his own words, turning his right hand over in the late afternoon sun. "When the battlefield calls, do you not answer?" He saw Ivan nod his head slowly. "Then do not regret your choice. Power alienates; power brings scorn and solitude, power ensures misunderstanding and hardship. It serves love and yet makes love impossible. You gain greatness...you pay in sleepless nights and dry tears. My payment...has been the utmost." He slowed and softened the last sentence, taking his bare arm back into the folds of his black cape.

"Kaze..." Ivan could not manage a word more; the feelings of that man had so fittingly described a conflict that had raged his whole life through that he sat in silence, trying to absorb the words.

"I need that power" Kaze continued. "But when I am slain, no grave shall I have. My corpse will wither and rot in the elements." His gaze seemed to peer into Ivan's heart as he spoke. "You could be like me...if you could give up everything. Don't, though. Your way is different from mine. Your friends will strengthen you; when you stand, it will not be alone." He bowed his head and closed his eyes, breathing slowly but not asleep.

"Thanks...I think." Ivan looked up at the reddish sky, heard the roar of a dragon. Everyone's helped me to get this far...my own powers too. But I don't need the kind of power Kaze sacrificed everything for; the power to anhillate and obliterate. But then again, I've never had a choice - I was born with power. But why do I use it? I use it to protect the ones I love, to try to add my little bit to the whole to make the world a better place. Isn't that all the power I need?

Ivan stood up and tapped Kaze's shoulder, causing the man's eyes to fly open.

"I'm going to the Castle...why don't we go together?" Kaze had already been to the castle, been turned away. But the least he could do now was to give this boy, Ivan, the strength of numbers. He rose to his feet, pushing off his right knee to stand up to full height. The two started walking toward the castle, a Wind Adept and a Black Wind, their only powers the hands at their sides.

You wanted to open up some distance?! WHY?!! Couldn't you open up some distance with someone else too?!

But I guess there's no point in griping about it.

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Five - The Return of...
Since he hasn't closed it, I'm gonna just bang out something.

1 A-Vote against each of the following:

Ivan
Kaze
Vivi
Isaac
Yoshi
Laguna
Scarlett (sorry, you two lovebirds! *rubs back of head*)
Glider


By the way, do I get no EXP from the prior round, or did you just not calculate yet? Just cause I haven't gotten any from any round yet (from my complications trying to get here in the first place), so for the rounds I can make it here for, I'd be happy if I got some credit for it.

Now, here's an outline of what C does, since I'm too braindead to write something (I'm so braindead, in fact, that I get my "too"s crossed with my "to"s, hence the second edit):
-wakes up
-gets pissed @ Krizzy for taking his (wife's) katana
-runs from a big dragon
-gripes about how the dragons are "worse than those on Sandman Isle"
-Meets Billy, makes mention of his sword; realizes the Billy here hasn't seen Citan with his sword yet
-thinks about the whole weird circumstances of this tourney, specifically how Krizzy NUKED AN ENTIRE CITY two rounds back, even while he was dinking around cranking the output on his buster cannon
-sort of complains about how Krizzy should be helping people with his powers (he'd be most helpful taking out D(CENSORED FOR BEING A SPOILER), who has his planet under siege right now)
-diddles together a couple of grenades (I assume he still has his intelligence, too, which happens to be massive; if not, let's just say he bumps into the resistance and gets a few from there) (shrapnel calls for the A-Votes, since he never specifically bumps into anybody)

"I'm just a dancer... Looking for a partner..."
Conker continued to follow the dragon, carrying Bowser. He knew he wouldn't be able to catch up to the majestic beast. Noticing a black mini, Conker realized it was fully operational.

"These things are everywhere! This could be useful." Conker stepped in, finding the keys in the ignition. The squirrel pulled the seat forward, allowing him to reach the pedals. An eightball replaced the stick shift.

"Stick shift? How do I work this thing again?" The car started, then stalled immediately. Expletives filled the car as Conker slammed the dash. Eventually Conker got the car rolling, grinding gears as he went.

"Get the f#$% outta my way!" Conker drove through the crumbled city flipping others off. On the way he managed to side swipe a man with black hair, a guy with freaky hair, and a guy who shot him from the first round. He managed to follow the dragon, who went into an old stadium.

---

"Well! I hope you are HAPPY! ARE YOU GOING TO EAT ME NOW!" yelled Bowser.

The dragon roared in a scandilous manner. In some sense, yes.

The dragon reached over to an intact stereo system, playing:

*Ginuwine - Pony*

"R&B! This is the kind of music for... Oh... Fun.. gah... HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!"

(Author's Note: Yes, I realize the following situation is impossible, and is not very serious at all. But I'll be damned if I let Scarlett and Laguna score the romance award!)

*SCENE MISSING*

"Wow! This is better than I thought! I doubt even Peach could--"

*SCENE MISSING*

"WHO'S YOUR KOOPA? WHO'S YOUR KOOPAAAA?"

*SCENE MISSING*

---

Conker arrived at the stadium. Frying pan in hand, he walked inside. His contorted facial expressions (Think of the Sunflower and King Bee scene from BFD) were priceless.

"You know... I bet there are some freaks on the net that might enjoy this shite. But who would look at... that?" Conker looked back towards the reader.

Conker left the stadium. Crossing his arms, he leaned against the mini, trying to look somewhat badass. He reached in, pulling out a CD and a stereo faceplate.

*Eminem - Buisness*

"Fitting. Kinda." Conker banged his head to the beat, still leaning against his mini.

(Author's Note: I sure like to put a lot of music in my stories. It started with 2nd round, what can I say?)

A brick crashed through the mini's windshield.

"Hey! Don't f$%$ with my ride! Oh, it's you Yoshi. Can I offer you another concussion?"

"Where is Bowser?" was all the dinosaur said.

"Oh, he's in THERE. He's been waiting for you." Conker smirked evily.

Saying no more Yoshi ran in.

"3... 2... 1..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yoshi ran back out, covering his eyes.

Re: Whew
Sorry folks for not participating this round. I had a Grad. Party yesterday and I didn't get back until like 8 or 9 eastern time.

Then, we received a call from my Aunt, and she said that she couldn't get a hold of my 89 year old Great-Grandma, Nana, because the phone had been busy for a couple hours.

My mom and uncle decided to go over to my Nana's house to check on her, and when they got to her house she was lying unconscious on the floor.

She is in the hospital right now, and is all right as far as I know.

So, because of all that I just haven't been in the mood to write, so I didn't. I would have liked to participate in this round because it definitely seemed cool. But I just couldn't read all of the posts, let alone write my own.

Sorry.

PS: I just didn't want you guys to think that I wasn't participating just because I didn't get brought back as a sponsor. I'm not that immature. :p
