Gau was totally lost
in this huge amusement park. He was attacked by his most
trustworthy friend, Locke, just awhile ago and was still in a
daze. Nose was broken, apparently and was bleeding when he met
another of his friend Mog an Gogo, who cured him of his
injury.
Gau was confused. He could not understand why
Locke has attacked him. And being a simple guy, the only
explanation he can give himself is that the Locke that
attacked him was a fake, and was out to get him.
Gau
was determined to pay back the fake Locke the broken nose and
his trust.
Suddenly, Gau saw the fake Locke standing
in front of a machine playing jackpot and being a blue magic
user, he immediate uses behemoth's attack on Locke. Gau jumps
onto Locke and gave him back the broken nose Locke gave him
earlier and in addition, a black eye on Locke's pretty face.
"Ahh! Wait, who, What????" Locke shout out in shock.
"You fake Locke. Locke Gau's friend. You no Locke. Bad
guy!!"
"No, Gau, no! It was all an accident! I swear!"
But Gau wasn't listening.He finish what he did and ran
off, leaving Locke on the floor with a black eye and a broken
nose.
Gau continue to run away when he bumped into a
furry creature.
"Kupo! Gau, you again!"
"Mog!
Gau like Mog! Mog injured? Gau give dried meat!"
"Thanks Gau! And do you wanna..." Mog wanted to invite
Gau to his team, but Gau saw a chocobo and ran away.
"Weird guy, yah, Gogo?"
Gau continues his
journey... ---

Locke Cole

Searching. Endlessly
searching. After losing Celes, Locke once again began
wandering aimlessly throughout the Gold Saucer. "Ironic
isn't it," he realized, "I join this tournament for a
little excitement, and I end up spending most of the day
wandering around aimlessly by myself. Heck I haven't even been
attacked ye..."
Suddenly he bumped into a strange
looking 'man' wearing blue armor. "Get out of my way, you
homeless bum!" the swordsman demanded, and proceeded to push
Locke's nose into his skull.
Momentarily stunned,
Locke didn't recover quickly enough, Slash had already run off
to fight someone else. Only moments later, however, Slash was
back. He wasn't looking at Locke, though. Following his gaze,
Locke saw what was holding the swordsman's attention. "Oh,
CRAP!" Locke exclaimed. Of all his accursed luck a bloody
dragon! He was quickly on his feat, following Slash as they
both attempted to escape the frightening black beast.
KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Locke had no idea what was
happening, but he quickly realized he was in mid-air and
quickly falling. Luckily, Slash hit the ground before him, and
was in the perfect position to break his fall.
"Ooooooooff!" the air exploded out of Slash's lungs as
the treasuer hunter landed on him.
Slash was quickly
on his feat, but Locke had the advantage. Slamming the butt of
his dagger into Slash's helmet, Locke stunned the swordsman
again. "See you around," said Locke, as he jumped into one of
the graves before him, transporting him to another section of
the Gold Saucer.
When Locke was sure he wasn't going
to be pursued, he stopped and leaned against a wall. Wincing,
he popped his sore nose back into place. "Still got
it!" Locke thought to himself.
-------------------------------
1 counter
to Slash 1 attack to Slash
And that, with the
exception of one remaining counter, is the last of my votes. I
almost made it through the day without getting attacked once,
too.

About an hour later,
Locke was relaxing at the arcade. His nose was still sore from
the encounter with the swordsman in blue armor, but it felt
like the swelling was starting to go down.
Suddenly
out of nowhere, Gau attacked him.
When the surprise
attack was over, Locke lay on the ground in a daze. "Dab," he
said to himself, "Why did dey bod have to hit be id da dose.
Oh bell, I probaby deserbed dat."
Reaching into his
vest, he realized it was empty. "Dab!" he swore out loud, "Dat
wad dah last ob by potions!"

"WHHOOOOOAAAAAAHHHH!!!"Umaro screamed.
The girl's attack had sent him into one of the transport
tubes. He was now zooming the the tubes backwards, not having
a clue of where he was going. He eventually reached the end of
the tube, flying out and colliding with a man dressed in red.
The two crashed into a wall together, the blond man taking the
full force of the impact.
"Ugh... dizzy!" The
sasquatch got up slowly, and looked at the man who had
"helped" him. "Thank's for breaking fall." He told the stunned
wizard.
He looked around, wondering where he was, but
his eyes rested on a familiar face. "Mog!" He ran up to his
friend, and noticed multiple bruises on him. "You okay?"
"I'll live." The moogle answered bluntly. "Hey, have
you got a spare potion I can use?"
"Huh? Yeah, here
you go." He replied giving the moogle a much needed hi-potion.

the next turn.
------
Annoyed, Koren considered his
next targets. He had refused to fight Hawk earlier, but he had
also missed an easy chance for an attack that way.
Then, he picked his target, and made haste before it
was too late for him.
"Prepare yourself, Golbez!"
Koren shouted. The dark knight turned, only to discover a
mighty wave of magical energy to blow him out of the man's
way.
Koren hurried down the hallway, only to see
General Leo in front of him. "I'll not allow you-" the man
started, as Koren blasted him with a quick spell. Gannon and
Starman, the two warriors fighting him, were struck by the
spell's power, as well.
Koren slowed down, floating in
mid-air, watching if anyone was going to follow him.
Unexpectedly, a robot walked down the corridor.
"You
will do as my pawn for now. Do you have healing powers?" Koren
asked, quickly using his spell to manipulate the machine.
Soon, his wounds much better, Koren teleported away.

"Here's your room
key. Have a nice stay..." Mr. Hangman gave the door key to
Angela after uttering an evil laugh.
"Thanks..." the
sorceress replied. She made her way up the stairs and to her
room.
To her surprise, the room was occupied by two,
strange figures...
"Hey Angela! Long time no see," the
first replied as he floated in the air. He was a small, blue,
genie-like creature. The other appeared to be a strange, black
form.
"Who are you...? Oh... wait! You're Elementals,
too, right? Jinn and... Shade?"
"That is correct,"
Shade responded in a dark, evil voice. "Your power is growing,
Angela. It is time that you expanded your reporitore of
spells. I am Shade, the Elemental of Darkness. This is Jinn,
the Wind Elemental."
Jinn floated closer. "Nice to
meetcha!"
"You mean, I can gain your power as well?"
Angela asked with a gleam in her eyes.
"Correct. Use
it in any way you wish," the dark form replied. "I shall grant
you the Evil Gate spell."
"And I'll give you the Air
Blast spell. Pretty handy-dandy stuff, if you ask me!" Jinn
bobbed up and down in the air.
"Wow... in one day,
I've gained control of four Elementals..." Angela said. "If we
were back in Altena, I'd never have believed it." Saying this,
she reminisced about her home that she had left behind.
However, she quickly pushed the thought aside... if she'd
still remained there, she would have been killed casting the
Sealed Ancient Magic. Why would she want to go back there...?
"You must be tired, Angela. You have endured a great
deal, today," Shade observed.
"You're right. Guess
it's time to sleep. Goodnight, you two... and thanks for your
help. I'll try to put your magic to good use tomorrow... if I
make it."
The two Elementals slowly disappeared,
leaving Angela alone to rest and prepare for what the next day
would bring.

Gau was running away
when he saw General Leo getting hit.
Gau remember him
vaguely. He was the man killed by Kefka before. But...he was
alive again! Odd...
"Gau give tonic. Leo don't die!"
With that, Gau ran away. Thinking it was Kefka who
injured General Leo, Gau was determined to get Kefka for it.
"Gau fight you! Kefka bad!" Gau ran up to Kefka who
was at Chocobo Square watching the racing chocobos when Gau
gave him a kick in the face.
Afraid of being attacked,
Gau ran away, knowing that he will never win Kefka and his
strong magical powers.
While running away, Gau knocked
into a strange man, also watching the chocobos and he fell of
from the stand.
"Ah! Gau sorry! Gau sorry!"
But the person has already fell to the bottom.
Gau ran away in fear. He didn't mean to knocked into
the person. But what is done, cannot be undone. Oh
well. ---

Aaaaah! Only a few minutes left to go,

Having no magic makes it difficult to describe multiple votes,

Attack Votes to: Boomer, Dhaos, Shadow, Ryu,
Kefka (all at random) Recovery Votes to: Driscoll,
Gilgamesh, Setzer
If they don't count because I didn't
describe them, I'll have to accept the Vote Burn, I don't have
the time or the imagination to write out a description at the

the dragon in the back. The dragon jumped back and three

Rydia of Mist
|
*snapcraklepop* o_O;;; Ugh... Sorry Ex!
*cringe* I couldn't get that damn post through, adn I
had to take a benadryl... I'm still congested, but at
least my nose wasn't stuffed enough to make my head hurt. :P
Lesson: Don't ever get locked out in cold windy rain. *cringe*
I sleep, and everything happens, eh?
Now to try and
make some sense of this day...
{ FFIV :: Suspicion }
-------------- Rydia seemed to
awake from a fog of sleep. Everything seemed so blurry and
distant, lost in some far away time. She still couldn't seem
to focus, her mind still held within the grasps of the mist.
What is happening....?
'Rydia...'
Her attention shifted to the voice she heard, dazedly
loking for it. Mother?
'Rydia... wake up. Wake
up! SEE!'
Startled by the forcefulness of this new,
masculine voice overriding what sounded much like her mother's
voice, she focused on her will on snapping out of her dazed
state, opening her eyes to see Edge kneeling on the floor.
They were now in a whole different place than she recalled.
She could see traces of what looked to be some attacks. Her
blue eyes traced over the familiar form, and she frowned.
What's happened?
She looked into his eyes as he
turned to look at her, something behind their normal clarity
that troubled her. "Rydia..." His tone was concerned, pained,
and troubled, and for once, she actually btoehred to care
about this.
"Edge? Are you alright?" She rose
slightly, and her frown deepened as she watched him back up
slightly. "What... is it? What's happened?" Conern laced her
voice, and for once she wished she had her white magic again.
The onld days before her mother's death, before everything
that had seemed to ruin it all...
But then she would
have never met Edge. Its was a twin-edged sword that fate had,
and it was never kind. Edge spoke at last, breaking the
building silence. "Rydia... don't you remember anything?"
"I..."
She recalled
something, a penetrating force that seemed to override all
sense of logic and control, throwing her back into the
recesses of her mind, and from there.... nothing much...
...thogh flickers of combat tinged the fringes of her
mind, and many scattered fragments of talk, of many voices she
could and could not place, and then that one voice.
"Edge.... I... I...."
"Why?"
She struggled for her breath, sitting
up more, biting her lip a moment, trying to make sense of
everythign now. She ahd come to the tournament to right the
wrongs in her world, first for herself, and then the sudden
intrusion of reminders of other races who needed her help, and
then finding Edge. She had never intended that things become
so personal, so twisted, and so complicated. It pained her as
she drew conclusions and realized she had fallen to something
which an ally once had.
"I... wasn't myself."
Edge's eyes narrowed slightly, looking her over, the
emotion behind warring between believing her, the one he'd
fallen for, and that it was a cover up. But he knew Rydia -
the same Rydia who'd verbally kicked him around before and got
his attention in Cave Eblan about Rubicant and going alone
(and probably saving his life wiht that lcture) - would never
lie like that. He'd gone after the thing he'd held
responsible.
He laid a hand on hers, and for once she
didn't feel like slapping him or pulling away. It was a touch
that brought reality back, one that reminded her of so many
lost days. Of so many years in isolation that she never really
minded, but now felt keenly.
Do the Lunarians think
much of their isolation? I know the summons sometimes do not
like the isolation, and wished they could interact with many
others. They are so lonely. I was so lonely. Why has it never
bothered me?
She stood then, with Edge's help, and
they walked quietly and carefully through the halls. She noted
Edge was worse for wear, and really wished again she culd have
had her white magic back. INstead she chose a moment when she
heard two otehr souls nearby who also seemed to have had a bit
of a hard time. Her sympathy went out, and she stopped Edge a
moment.
"Let me refresh us before we go on with
Ashura." She let her wish trail out mentally to the Queen of
Summons to heal the other two as well as herself and Edge.
"Mightly queen of powers light, grant us some
refreshing power or protection that we might not falter, great
Ashura."
Sure enough, her call was answeered with the
soft glittering light of cure magic, and Rydia smiled for a
moment in the pure power of the healing magic.
Perhaps this is another reason Rosa sought the path
of a white mage... the pureness matches her so well... while
I... I delve into the dark of black magic and summoning...
'My child, never fear that which you do,' Ashura sent
telepathically, 'seek what your heart desires. Was it not
yourself who told a young one of my kind that its 'the heart's
what is important'? Go, my child, and seek what you wish.'
Rydia sighed, and then yawned, feeling the strains of
the day. At least her butt didn't hurt quite so much anymore.
Perhaps what reminded her of that was the fact Edge had just
laid a hand on it, trying to act smooth again.
"Edge!"
she snapped, swatting his arm. "Do you mind?!"
"What,
geez, I was only showing my appreciation for the help."
"Appreciation?! I'll show you
appreciation..." She chased after the fleeing king of Eblan,
although they both knew, no matter how mad she was at him, the
moment was still worth it. Even if she did still want to wring
his neck with her whip. ------------ Reversal Votes: Angela Relm
IF I can defend someone AND use and R-vote on them,
then Edge as well. If not, then oh well. :P I
tried.
Whew.... Damn.... that's my "long post
fo the day" there... interesting turn of events. ^^ Hope you
didn't mind that one Ex. XD And yes, I HAD to break the magic
of the post with that ending.
Edit: Wow... o.O; that IS one long post!
O_O;;; Ah well... o.o BTW, no fair picking on my typoes. ;p
I'm kinda tired still, so I probably made some mistake. Now,
to start grabbing this thread for archive. (Which reminds me,
I need ot kick up the drafting thread online for anyone who
wants/needs it...)

Gau was really angry this time. He was hit again without a

Culex walked away from the
Battle Square, scattered monsters still running about and
evading the meager attempts from security to corral them.
Culex had been singularly disappointed with the whole ordeal.
He had been expecting more of Lady Yume's Knights to appear to
protect the innocents that were trapped with the monsters, but
few appeared, even the ones who later tried their skills in
the arena.
The Vandan sighed heavily and prepared to
leave. He made one last sweep of the premises, now nearly
empty because of the late hour. He had little hope that a
fighter would show up, and he prepared to open another portal
when he saw a warrior appear through one of the tubes and stop
in front of the stairs.
He immediately began to
descend the long flight and approached the newcomer, who was
quickly revealed to be a young human woman. She possessed
blonde hair and a military-style uniform and was placing
succulent magic crystals into her sword, covered as it was
with various runes.
He stopped several feet away from
her near the base of the steps and addressed the woman. "I am
Culex, Dark Knight of Vanda. I have crossed into this
dimension to fight the Knights provided by Lady Yume. Will you
accept my challenge?"
The woman, caught by surprise,
merely stared. "What?"
Culex sighed. "I am Culex,
Dar--"
She shook her head. "No, I understood that. Did
you just challenge me to a fight?"
An astute one,
her. "Yes, I did."
She shook her head. "Sorry, no.
I just came here to get away from-- well, an enemy. And I was
looking for..."
The Vandan abruptly turned partly
away, preparing to leave. "You are wise to hesitate. Despite
your weapons and armor, you have no chance." He began to walk
away.
"I am a Knight... after a fashion." she stated,
eyes glittering. "I do accept your challenge."
The
Vandan smiled. "That's better." His eyes suddenly began to
glow a deep, piercing blue with hints of white at the edges.
As the woman stood in surprise the Wind Crystal appeared
between Culex and the human. She could see the very essence of
the storms swirling around in the multifaceted shell, and it
was unnerving. "En garde!" came his cold voice.
Culex
suddenly attacking, claws on both hands hardening into diamond
edges and he struck. Celes did not even see the blow coming,
and doubled over as the claws sank into her stomach.
She recovered quickly, however, striking at Culex with
her materia-enhanced blade and scoring a wound on his left
arm, tearing slightly the robe he wore.
The blue eyes
expanded and it nearly seemed as though lightning crackled
from them. At that instant the Wind Crystal's luminescence
doubled, and warped blue light poured from the gem. A swirling
colorless aura then surrounded Celes and she gasped in
surprise; the gasp turned into a cry of pain as the
Electroshock sent arcing electricity into her metal
weapon and armor, and she fell to her knees.
Not
finished, she prepared to counter with one of her Runic
skills, but Culex did not allow her the time, striking once
again, this time with a punishing radiant sphere that washed
over Celes. She fell forward, sword falling from her hand and
clattering to the floor below. She was asleep, the victim of
the secondary functions of Culex's light attacks.
"Sleep peacefully, human. Rest and recover. Like the
Knight Leo, I look forward to seeing you again."
Culex
left her and gated to the poorly-named Round Square, home of
the Gold Saucer's "gondolas." Culex was not here for the
sights, however.
Looking around, he gazed over the
superstructure of the ride and examined it closely. Satisfied
no foul treachery had been done to it aside from surface
damage caused by combating warriors, the framework was sound.
Culex gated to the highest point of the beams and sat there in
a pose of meditation.
He looked up at the stars, the
one constant that this world had with his home. Even as a
young Dark Knight, milennia ago, he had always enjoyed
stargazing. Culex was as curious as he was ambitious, and
constantly sought to visit other worlds and various peoples.
If he possessed a weakness, it was certainly not fear or
self-doubt.
No, it is probably my goal that costs
me the most. I have doubts... doubts that I will ever defeat
the greatest warrior. I wish only to try my strength in
battle, to fight and to destroy. It is the way of people. It
is the way of the Dark Mage.... But is it my way? Should I
proceed in my goal, when there is so much to do in this great
universe than fight? Perhaps I should ask Lady Yume for her
opinion, or wait for her to give it. If any would know my
plight, it would be her.
Culex had no need for
sleep, but he did start to feel rested as he sat in the cold
night air, gazing across a world he could never touch and the
stars he could never leave.
Or, rather, he did, until
he heard the sound of screeching metal and a childish yelp of
pain, followed by a distant cry of, "Gau angry!" and another
ringing sound.
Culex sighed heavily. Fine. He
flicked a finger toward the sound and pointed, and instantly
an enormous Flame Stone rained down toward the source
of the disturbance. Several seconds later the low roar of the
fiery impact followed immediately by a shrill yell of pain met
Culex's ears. Then silence.
Much better.
-----
One vote against Celes. Another
against Gau.
And that will be all. Perhaps next
round I can use up all my votes... I was too busy catching up
with what was going on to post often this time.

Edit: D'oh. In that case, Krizak,
does this post count? It's mainly Slash going to bed. ^^;
Thanks, KyleIII, I appreciate it. As for the nose bit, well, it just goes to show you
how much people around here appreciate Locke's honker.
...boy, did that sound wrong. AH, but, anyway. Since I
only have half an hour left and it's really gotten a bit
confusing as to who's...um...left? <=D I'll take the 4-vote
burn and give Slash the rest of the night off. The poor chap
needs it.
---
Slash finally hauled himself up
from the remnants of the table, his body aching as though it
had been put through a meat grinder. His right fist ached from
the punch to Locke; his head stung from constant beating and
tosses; his back had been absolutely abused by that damn
dragon, which was still running amok somewhere in the place,
and above all else, his arms and legs were in severe pain. In
fact, all of his muscles were sore- putting himself through
two of his best techniques after such a long sojourn in the
endless void was like running a ten-mile marathon after a
Porre feast. The Slasher II had nicks on its dull edge, which
would definitely have to be fined out again overnight, and the
hilt pin was coming loose- he'd have his work to do before the
night was over.
"...I've missed this," Slash said,
suddenly breaking out into a shadowed smirk. Indeed, he had
missed the little aches and pains that reminded him of his
very existence. He'd missed the thrill of the moment, the joy
of battle, and the pains it brought to both victor and victim.
Such was the glory of war; not nearly enough warriors realized
what a blessing it was to fight. To test the skill of the
sword against fighters of the same calibur was an honor Slash
would respect until the day he, too, fell. And now, in this
chance tournament, for as long as it would last, he was once
again a warrior.
As those days were in
Guardia...days of fighting under Prince Magus, days of respect
and bloodshed and glory. We would have fought, we would have
conquered, had it not been for the sheer incompetence of
General Ozzie. But I remember those days with
fondness...running across the battlefield, humans dropping
into puddles of gore, my men standing high on the bridge with
swords raised and shouting my name...
Slash
gritted his teeth. He didn't have his men anymore, didn't have
his troops or supporters...it was every man, woman, Mystic, or
creature for his/herself. There was no army to lead into
victory- only himself. But the prize at the end, he knew, was
greater than anything Guardia could ever offer him. Greater,
perhaps, than anything great Prince Magus could have ever
offered him. A dream...
Slash brought the Slasher II
up, grimacing at the movement, and sheathed it across his back
once again. The day's bloodshed was over, and the wounds hurt-
terribly, in fact. But he wasn't finished by a long shot.
"Oh, you're awake!"
Slash looked in the
direction of the new voice. At the hotel counter sat a young
girl, probably seventeen at most, with a bandana and some
hiking garments. She waved perkily in his direction, a cheesy
grin on her face.
Slash cocked a confused brow, looked
from side to side, and pointed questioningly to himself.
"Yeah, you! You look...odd, to say the least," she
commented. "And you don't even have any materia. Mondo weird."
"...eh...whatever. You work here or something? I had
sort of a rough landing," Slash said, gesturing to his bruised
tailbone. "Gimme a room, will you, Miss..." He squinted.
"Yuffie."
"Wha!?" The girl sat up from her stool, her
eyes narrowing in challenge. "How'd you know my name?"
"Your nametags."
"...oh." 'Yuffie' scratched
her head and coughed. "Yeah, I work here part time, though I'm
only here now because some dragon got loose and they're still
trying to bring it down. So, for tonight, the rooms are free.
Go on up if you'd like."
Slash nodded curtly, fishing
into the pocket of his robe as he walked to the stairs. His
hand reappeared with a coin inside it a moment later, and he
flipped it in her direction. "Here's your tip anyway. Just
take it and make sure I have an easy night."
Yuffie
caught the coin and blinked. "You had a rough day or
something?"
Slash groaned as he walked up to the
bedrooms. "Nothing compared to the days
ahead."

Well, Iz, I had some sleep beforehand,
but then again, I have benadryl in my system to try and NOT
pass out from this stupid cold.
So, I had a minor 1-up
on that post, and I don't doubt i ahd a typo. I am Typo
God(dess)! XD I've proven that enough, no? (Winder? Or my
coincidence?)
I also was saving upto page 20, and
totally missed Cloud's lovely interpretation of Edge and Rydia
( ). Ah... some men just CAN'T stay out of trouble, can
they?
I'm highly impressed wiht the first round.
Despite everyone's annoyance at some things, and some
ill-timing on posts (I'm just running slow today...) which is
ALWAYS normal. *takes deep beath* I love the smell of Survivor
in the... er... night. :P
Exeter is as good with a
brooding silent... er... man that can change into cool forms
as he is with a flirtacious twitterpated ninja prince.
Mwahaha....
:P I feel a song parody coming on... yes I
do... me an eights... *goes to pass some time writing
something stupid until she can sleep again, or take mroe
benadryl*
And Kriz, don't delete this thread. I'll be
very unhappy if I miss something.
Edit: Bwaha! I
thought round would end about when I was posting. XD *cough*
Good...

Lutz was tired... The
healing potion that Tthe Motavain Gryz had given him was
working though. His energy was coming back. Quickly unpluging
the ether bottle Lutz knocked it back, down in one. As he
was standing an orange bolt of Thunder balsted down from the
ceiling. It felt familiar... And it hurt... but the ether was
coarsing through Lutz's veins... with all his strength he
reversed the power, turning it back. Over head a similar bolt
of Lightning turned around suddenly, and darted back to it's
owner...
VOTE:- Defend!
Reversal for Rune Walsh. Attack part goes to Gannon I
think. Bear with me and I'll confirm (and edit) this bit. Yes,
its gannon. But does this count? I was writing it as the bell
went. And I still didn't get rid of my last attack vote.
Grr... I've been pounded!

Zelda and Link came out of the tube
and ended up in Station square. Zelda had been thinking a lot
about what Chaos had said. "Love? Do I...is it possible
that...no...It can't be....Besides...it could never be...I am
a princess, and he is but an adventurer...yes..he has saved my
life...on multiple occasions...but I could not...actually feel
for him could I?"
Link's voice snapped her back to
reality. "Zelda..You look tired, are you alright?"
Zelda looked at Link wearily. "Yes...I'm fine Link,
thanks for asking though" She said as she gave him a smile.
"Actually though....I'm really...really tired..."
Link
looked at her with genuine concern in his eyes. "You're not
exactly used to adventuring yet are you Zelda? Well, lets head
to the hotel, There's nothing more we can do tonight, and I
don't see any reason to stay around and keep fighting..."
"Yeah Link, You're right...lets go...I'm really
tired.." Zelda gave Link another smile and leaned on Link's
shoulder as they made thier way to the Ghost Hotel. They
stepped into the tube, and came out a grave. "Well...This is
eerie.." Link said as they stepped into the Hotel.
"Two rooms please.." Zelda said as she got to the
desk. "Sorry Ma'am, but with all the people here all the
sudden, we only have one room left.
"Well...I guess
that would be alright...If you have nothing else.." Zelda
said, taking a look at Link. They paid, and walked up to thier
room.
Link walked in first. "What? Only one bed?!?!"
Link looked somewhat taken aback at this information.
"Well...I'll take the floor I guess" he said, looking at the
princess. "No, Link...Its alright. We're friends, and I'm kind
of scared here anyway...you can stay up on the bed with
me...You've gotta protect me after all." Link looked at her
somewhat surprised, but eventually agreed, took off his shoes,
and set aside his sword, and laid on the bed next to Zelda.
Zelda took a look at Link. His shirt sleeve had moved
up some, revealing a nasty gash surrounded by a bruise. Zelda
gasped. "Link....are you alright?" she said as she moved to
examine the wound. "Yeah...its fine Zelda.." Zelda moved
closer. "No...Let me heal it for you...it won't take long...or
much energy..." Zelda put her hand over Link's wound and a
gentle warmth went through her hand and the wound started to
heal. "That's as good as it'll get...I'm too tired to do
anything else today....goodnight Link..." Zelda snuggled up
against Link, feeling warm and protected by his presence.
"Goodnight Zelda.." Link said to her, and put his arm around
the Princess, and they both fell into a deep sleep.

Good thing I don't have
a class until noon tomorrow. I love Monday nights!
That was my first round of survivor ever, and I must
say it was a lot more fun then I was expecting it to be. I
almost made it through the entire round without getting
attacked once, then I got three votes in the last hours. Oh
well, I don't think Locke's in much danger of getting voted
out.
I feel sorry for Bowser and Boomer, though. Why
was everybody picking on them?

Thanks for the R-Votes, guys. I would've
used my remaining two on you if I'd been paying attention to
the clock. D'oh! Oh well, I think I'll survive. And that's
what the game is all about!

dark characters usually tend to catch
more votes.. which sucks.. but its true... and in the case of
TG, well he showed alot of inapropriate behavior in the last
tourney and i am guessing some still hold a grudge.

Well, I know everyone was picking on
boomer because everyone from last survivor voted for him,
simply because he managed to get on just about everyone's
nerves last tournament, and none of us want to see it happen
again. As for Bowser...I'm starting to think that anyone who
chooses someone from Mario RPG gets a death sentance
immediately placed on thier heads...last time it was Mario
that was horribly manhandled....
