Re: Krizak *sob* Did you forget about us? *sob*
Well, looks like Kriz is dead again. For those of you who weren't there for it this is why RT1 lasted two weeks.
I'd love to stay but I'm off to work in a few minutes. Ironically enough I'm a lifeguard, so I'll actually be seeing real speedos today. On real fat middle-aged guys. Pity me

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Two
Well, since Krizak hasn't shown up, I'll take on the burden of making a small omake round. It'll be good practice for me anyway.
Imaginary Act II, Scene II
The majority of the contestants finally stood before the underwater city Alteria, marveling at the clandestine beauty of the city's once-natural architecture. The enormous castle glittered in the waves of underwater sunlight, rays of sunshine reflecting off the myriad of glittering seashells mixed in among the pure white ones. There was a constant stream of aquatic visitors entering and exiting the city through the uncommon 'doorway'; a perfectly formed circular hole placed at multiple areas around the castle.
As the tournament participants swam closer to the city itself, they saw and recognized some fish, small sharks, and many denizens of the underwater worlds in their own respective home dimension or world. Others looked decidedly exotic, especially some humanoid figures hovering at all the entrances, controlling the traffic in and out. They seemed to resemble dolphins up to a point, but there was something mysterious, almost eerie about their otherwise casual gestures and movements. The contestants could all catch a glimpse of something that shone brilliant gold inside, and some of the less virtuous members felt the thrill of anticipation. As they got within 'speaking' distance of the capital, a group of the dolphin-men swam up to the group, and gestured to an entrance hole that was not plagued by traffic.
Welcome to Navare, the world of endless ocean. This is our capital city, Alteria. We know of your purpose here--your Host had arrived much in advance to inform us, which was very courteous of him. Everyone with the team bracer is allowed inside as a honored guest. It is rather likely that you are unfamiliar with our customs, but please observe our one cardinal rule if you wish to stay--no fighting of any kind.
There were some muffled groans and protests among the group, but they were immediately silenced.
Where is the Host now, Scarlet voiced a bit vexedly. We can't proceed further in this competition without him, correct?
I know little of that matter, the head Navarian of the group replied, but we do know that he is elsewhere at the time. Please enjoy your stay in Alteria for the time being, please.
The other two Navarians nodded courteously, and the group led the mass of contestants, Fallen and otherwise, into Alteria.
ERY-ATL-135: Alteria, Diamond of the Depths
Remember that this is an omake round, so you people can do literally whatever you want. However, break Alteria's cardinal rule and you'll be sent packing immediately--Navarians have little patience for those who disobey the rules.
Special Rules:
Since the host is nowhere near this planet at the time, the force of your bracers is weakened to the point where you can have individual participation; that is, teams are optional, and there are only singular awards for this event.
Everyone here has 10 Omake A-Votes and 4 Omake R-Votes. No special abilities are allowed here, because they might frighten the locals and get you kicked out. The special clause here is that you can only send Omake A-Votes by indirectly causing damage or other mischief to another character. Causing a fight will get the instigator immediately kicked out of Alteria. This is important, because anyone kicked out loses half their A-Votes and R-Votes alike, and cannot enter the city until the round is over.
There are three Omake awards for this event:
Omake Untouchable - To the player with the least amount of votes against him at the end of the round(That includes negative numbers).
Omake Punching Bag - To the player with the highest amount of votes against him at the end of the round.
Omake Otaku - To the player with the best-written Omake scene in this round.
This round ends whenever Krizak shows up and decides to end Round II, and if that's within the next two hours, the special awards are retracted. So, it could be within the next five minutes, or not even until tomorrow. It's up to chance, so knock yourselves out! Omake-style!

OMAKE Act 2, OMAKE Scene 1 - "Speedo"
(And if you take any of this as actually happening, Conker will puke on you :P)
----------
Ivan twitched slightly. This was ridiculous! On his left, the dark-haired man known as Laguna was doing some kind of strange dance, involving putting his left leg in, and his left leg out. On his right, the elf boy posed seductively in a leopard-skin speedo, his 'sword' in his hands. Further down was a space where Scarlet should have been - and strangely enough, the gunman, Gilder, was missing, too. Kaze stood to one side, deliberately ignoring everyone - his golden pod arm contrasting against the black lines of his wetsuit. The image was strangely impressive - or would have been, if it wasn't for the flippers on his feet...
A commotion signified that Aeris and Delita had arrived - obviously startling Kaze, who seemed very interesed in the auburn-haired girl. Ivan swore he'd heard him muttering "It moved..." under his breath.
Cinder would have been a fairly impressive entry into the competition. If you could see him past the cloud of steam, anyway. Oh wait, no, that was coming from Scarlet and Gilder...
Yoshi had been eliminated early on, on the grounds that it was a swimsuit competition, after all - and he wasn't wearing one! Conker had gone out on the same grounds - he'd complained of course. How did it go? Oh yes... "Look, you f%&#ing moron, I'm WEARING speedos. See?" (Zzzzip..) - followed by screams from the various female entrants...
And after all, Vivi was still wearing his hat and robes.
To be quite honest, Ivan didn't blame him.
----------
OMAKE votes? 1 A-vote to Conker and Yoshi - eliminated! 1 A-vote to Gilder and Scarlet, for not showing up. R-votes to Vivi, Kaze, Laguna and Link.
XD
And remember kids, this is all performed by trained actors. Do NOT try this at home.
Really.
I'm not gonna be responsible for the law suits.

Re: OMAKE Act 2, OMAKE Scene 1 - "Speedo"
Laguna followed the crowd of oddly and scantily clad contestants into the city of Alteria. He was unable to keep himself from eyeing the other Speedos with envy, but the rule against hurting people within the city stayed his hand. He did notice that the other Speedo-wearers were very careful to stay far away from him, and that made him smile with satisfaction.
Nobody can beat purple, he thought with a smirk. Little did he know that he was going to get the opportunity to prove that.
Ivan grabbed his arm unexpectedly and hauled him onto a nearby stage.
"SPEEDO REVUE!" he yelled in Laguna's ear, causing the dark-haired man to wince and grab his head.
Link and Rouge (now Blue) hustled their way onto the stage, making it rather crowded. Delita examined the spectators with a disgusted look and then edged onto the stage himself, sticking close to the exit. Vivi was at the other end looking decidedly out-of-place in his mage robes and hat.
Laguna leaned over towards Blue and poked him in the biceps.
"Hey dude, you look different," he told the man, once again demonstrating his acute powers of observation.
Ivan strutted to the front of the platform and grimaced menacingly at the gathered crowd which consisted of tournament contestants and puzzled citizens of Alteria. They shrank back in fear, pointing at the green spandex. An altercation occurred between Ivan and Yoshi and Conker, ending with the latter two being eliminated.
Laguna sighed with resignation and began doing the hokey-pokey for the hell of it. He tried to ignore the fact that Scarlett was nowhere to be seen, and then decided that it was a good thing she wasn't around to see this. His hokey-pokey just didn't have the same panache and verve when he was feeling down.
He finished the dance with his signature roundabout and hat tip, and then muscled his way off the stage to grab Ward by the arm. The big man was doing his best to ignore the fiasco being performed on-stage.
"Dude, let's go get a DRINK," Laguna urged, and then got a worried look on his face.
"Do fish-thingies drink?"
"....."
***
1 Omake A-Vote to Ivan for actually taking me up on the Speedo Revue
1 Omake R-Vote to Ivan for looking tastee in a green Speedo
1 Omake R-Vote to Ward 'cause he's gonna need it later
Edit1: Added Votes.

Just a little...
OMAKE Chibi-theatre #1
Silver Fin vs Grumbling Stomach: Ryo's Desperate Act
Chibi-Ryo (not a hamster in sight) had reached Atleria not long after his fight with Delita. All the swimming had made him hungry so he decided that the first order of business was to get some food. As he approached one of the many entrances to the city an elegant dolphin-like creature swam out to greet him. The Navarian sang its greeting to Chibi-Ryo in a language too beautiful for mere words. However, it was interupted by the loud growling of Chibi-Ryo's stomach at which point the pint-sized brawler clocked the fish solidly on the nose and dragged its body into the city.
Fortunately there were several rooms within the city that contained pockets of air, so chibi-Ryo was able to build a fire with some pieces of coral that he had snapped off the wall. Chibi-Ryo drooled in anticipation as he cooked the meat.
After he had eaten about half of the creature, chibi-Lise and bishonen-Shadow (normaly chibi characters become bishonen, so Shadow looks kinda like Zack) walked in.
"Where the hell have you been?" Chibi-Lise fumed.
"Jusht wunted sumthin to eat" chibi-Ryo mumbled with his mouth full.
"Looks good" bishonen-Shadow said as all three tucked in to the remainder of the meat.
"Tastes good too" chibi-Lise added. "Where did you find this?"
"Is jusht shum dolphin I found outshide"
The other two stopped in mid-bite and the blood drained from their faces. Outside they could hear several Navarian guards growling angrily.
"Whut?" Chibi-Ryo asked oblivious, his mouth stil full.

What the heck's an OMAKE?
Yeah, look at my title. I have no clue what's going on.
Well, it seems like the scene is being described in detail now, so I guess I'll continue on.
---
Billy and the Navarian floated silently through the many decorated halls and passageways of the city. He couldn't help but gaze at the beauty of the entire city. No beauty had ever been seen by him, even in the Etone headquarters.
This is marvelous, Billy thought to the Navarian. You live here?
Not here, it replied. This is the tunnels which lead to the residential area. My home is farther in.
Billy passed a window to see the other contestants slowly entering the city. They weren't fighting at all. Looks like the others decided to make peace, Billy told the Navarian.
The Navarian stared out the window and grinned its dolphin-like smile. Yes, it looks like we're goinig to be safe. Come on, my family's just ahead!
Billy grabbed onto the Navarian's fin and held tight as it pulled him through the last tunnel. Billy's eyes opened wide as he saw thousands more Navarians playing in the water, eating food, moving things with psychic powers. Billy could have sworn that he saw a few smaller ones playing a game similar to football. He smiled. Sunlight broke in through cracks in the roof, lighting the area with great beams of sunlight.
Billy looked at his friend. You know, you never told me your name, said Billy.
Name?
You know, what other Navarians call you.
The fish shook its head. We don't have... names. You may call me whatever you want.
Billy looked at it. It was a darker gray, and looked more powerful than a normal dolphin. Suddenly, it clicked.
I'll call you Weltall.

Re: What the heck's an OMAKE?
Billy - I can't remember the exact meaning of Omake, but in this situation, it basically means FAKE.
Just passin' the time til Krizak shows up...

Re: What the heck's an OMAKE?
Omake (oh-MAH-keh)
n., adj. - From the Japanese, meaning "extra" or "bonus", omake are exactly what they mean - extras or bonus that can most commonly be found in manga, but which can also occur in anime. Omake can take many different forms, whether it be commentary and exclusive character designs from the manga artist or animator, footnotes, or unrelated comedic side stories involving the characters (even normally serious and evil villains).
There you go!

By the Way, good job with the fakey round Baka. You don't give this mob something to do, they will start looting.
Come home Krizak!

Baka, bakabaka, bakabakabaka, bakabakabakabaka...
Ok, a little to the left...
There?
No--ouch!--more toward the right, actually.
You're confusing the life out of me, lady.
I'll admit, it's hard to get a good angle given the circum--aah, watch it!--circumstances, but I'm sure if you're sailed the skies you can turn your body in the right direction!
Look, lady, you're missing the point.
I think the point's being missed on YOUR end, Gilder.
Funny.
AAh! Hurry, damn you!
Well why don't you contribute a bit?
Do you think I'd be any help in this position? Scarlett sighed and tried to pry herself loos from the cluster of plants that her anklet and right earring had gotten caught in. Look, if you don't get me out of this mess NOW the next time that punk with the bow on his neck shoots you I'll force Rami to do the healing. You don't want THAT, do you?
Gilder rolled his eyes and went back to loosing Scarlett's jewelery from the clutches of the plant. It's your fault for giving 'em all ideas...

Waiting For Godot... er, I mean, Krizak
Allow me now, to tell you a story.
The Dark God of Board Destruction was furious. For the longest time, he had dedicated his evil powers to the destruction of any place Rurouni Taikai set foot on. He had destroyed the FFO forums countless times, created havoc at Underclocked, and had killed several versions of Random Insanity. But now that infidel Krizak had gone to ezboard with a tournament, and the DGoBD could not wield his awesome powers there.
"So be it," he finally proclaimed. "If I cannot destroy the forums, then I will destroy the host's internet connection, and throw the tournament into chaos!!!"
And so he caught a nearby packet of information and rode the 'Net to Krizak's cable modem, where he then proceeded to create a sturdy and impregnable barrier to all data. Nothing could get in, and nothing could get out.
---
Well, that's a stylized way of saying that my internet connection died yesterday, and didn't get restored until this morning. Needless to say, the round is now over, and I'll be tallying the votes... now.
