Strago suddenly looks up from his bed in the Student's Quarters and wonders why a character who was healed by out hero was just brutally attacked.

Hey, nothing personal... I'm almost to the point of contradicting my own attacks with R-Votes, because there's several people I'm not interested in attacking.

Angel's Fear

Randi was knocked against the wall by, what seemed to be a violent earthquake. Dust floated from the decorated walls as Randi felt the ground tipping itself forward.

Randi grasped the ledge of the elevator. "Are we...moving?!"


OOC: Thought I'd add a little spice to the setting. Someone's gotten into the lower levels and has started the transformation to the mobile garden. 0_0

I'll add more to who's doing it, unless someone else has an idea.

"Urrrrggh!" Exclaimed Ayla as the ground shuddered and tipped forward, causing everyone in the cafeteria to fall to the ground. Ayla picked herself up quickly and watched as everyone else climbed back to their feet.
Ayla felt the sensation of moving beneath her feet and watched the ground. She then realised that had forgotten about the subject whom she was watching, the strange woman, and looked around for her, but she had gone...

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

I like that idea Nif.

“I am alive again! Ahahahaha!” bellowed Golbez as he cut a swath across the Garden. He felled his foes with great force and vigour. Nothing would be able to get between him and his ultimate goal. Nothing he could comprehend, at least.

“Excellent work Golbez. You will show them all how it is truly done. However, there are those who have wronged you more so than others, is this not correct? I think it is. I think you know as well as I what you must do soon. Strike down the one who is to blame for your misfortune! The one who you need not gain acceptance from! He who is not fit to receive even your pity! Strike him down, and the truth shall be at last revealed to you!”

Golbez slowed his pace, and found a small corridor in which to rest. “What is it that you mean? The one who has wronged me is Zemus, and he has long passed from this life. I saw it with my own eyes, his dark legacy holds no more concern for me.”

“Oh, but doesn’t it? Besides, it is not he that I speak of. Look farther within to find what you are looking for.”

What's with all the TEHs?

OOC: Good, I finally was able to get on again...
----
Squall and his team had dispatched and targeted another person...thank God. Wait, what am I saying? I mean...not all of us have the intention of hurting someone...and I was the one who said that. I should've helped out. I cringed with guilt.

Then my other side came out. This is a tournament. YOu have to take care of yourself. Kill or be killed. But...still...

I ran over to the next area, ducking behind another plant. A few more uniformed students ran past, without noticing me. I suddenly shivered...how did it get so cold all of a sudden, anyways?

Oh. The water's...frozen? Hey, that girl's frozen too. That girl in blue...how is that possible?

I slowly walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. Frozen solid. Yikes...

I noticed a blonde running in the other direction, mumbling to herself. Had she done this?

"Hey!" I exclaimed, trying to catch up with her. She stopped and turned to face me, hesitantly. She looked unsure of herself.

"...Yes...?" She asked me.

"Um, well...you're in this too, right? The tournament, I mean."

She nodded slowly in response.

"I just wanted to say...that, uh...be careful," I finally managed, trying to smile. She looked unnerved.

"...Thank you..."

I fumbled around in my robe, and looked at what was in my hand. A Star Light. My last one. But...on impulse, I threw it to her. She caught it in her hand, and smiled back at me. Then, looking back at me quickly, she turned and ran back in the direction she was heading.

I suppose that makes up for not helping out before. I feel better, actually. Even if this is a tournament...helping people liberates me. It's just the way I am. Sue me.

Then the ground below me started to rumble and shake...

OOC: 1 r-vote to Princess Zelda.

Also, I can't work this into my story, but: One r-vote to Rydia. That's all for now...^^

EDIT: I love the idea, Nif. XD It spices things up a bit (this is one of the slower moving rounds).

VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Due to the instability of the forums at this time, the 6th FFO Survivor Tournament has been cancelled and postponed until January 2nd. A new drafting thread will start on December 19th, and any person in this tournament who wants to simply join up with the exact same character and EX-Type just has to say, "I'm here!", and they'll be added. You can also join with different characters if you wish, and people who weren't able to make the first one will also be welcome to join. There will be some rule tweaking, some locale rearrangement, and a slightly different story the next time around, so don't think for a moment it'll just be a repeat for the first few days; the tournament will be as fun and exciting as always!

See you in eleven days!

Gotcha. Just so it doesn't go to waste, I might as well post what I wrote during the downtime...
-----

“Peel back the layers of your mind. Do it now, look within your own thoughts to the deeper meaning. Think back to the words you heard, the things you felt. Dig down, more than before. Do you see how this works now? Do you understand how they will never accept you for what you are?”

“I think I can. I can almost feel their contempt for me, for what I’ve done. This hope is only clouding my judgment…”

“You’re tainted, Golbez. Inferior in their eyes. The world views you as an abomination, a simple reminder of the pain inflicted over the years. They all wish you would disappear, as though you never existed. Never felt, never hoped. They want you dead, the least you can do is repay them all in kind.” The raspy voice hissed slightly.

Golbez opened his eyes the carnage around him. He searched for the face of his brother, unsure of what he should do if he were to find him. He scanned, and finally located the warrior.

Cecil glanced up from the battle and locked eyes with Golbez. Then he turned sharply, and left.

“We started out the same, you and I. One of us was to bathe in the light of the heavens, while the other to wallow in the shame of this wretched existence. It could have been you.” Golbez wasn’t sure what he was thinking, if they were thoughts he should even be considering. But they burned at his heart, and had to be acknowledged.

“Damn you Zemus for ever choosing me…”

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

“I hate them all, but I have no reason to. Is there something wrong with me? I don’t remember ever feeling quite like this before. Did I feel like this when Zemus had control over me? I don’t remember…”

“No…” is snarled at him. “It was never quite like this before. Then you had no choice, now you can decide what to hate on your own. Now you can choose your own battles and destroy all those who would stand opposed to your will. Isn’t this freedom wonderful? Isn’t this freedom horrid? Do you see the lies? Can you feel the truth?”

“Stop it, please. You’re only confusing me…I’m so confused. I don’t know what to think, to feel, anymore. I wish I could be like I was, free from these choices. And him…he torments me with his presence, his mere existence burns at me.”

“And what will you do? He is your brother, after all.”

“I don’t know…I hate this place…”

I... will... not... perish... as... long... as... there... is... evil... in... the... hearts... of... people...

Krizak: You mentioned that new people could join or that current members could switch characters. Would I be able to switch to Sponsor? I'm not sure if I will or not, but I'd like to know how you'd handle that. After all, I can't have my brother (Chaos) have all the fun, can I?

PS: What had happened was a lot of fun, though. It wasn't perfect, but then, with a diverse bunch like us, how could it be? I just wanted to let you know that Ben and I were having a blast, and thanks for doing your part hosting: I've done things like this before (not quite this scale, but close) and I know how hectic it can be.

Well, I guess I've bowed to conformity and made a FFO Survivor Signature.

I know it's not as kewl (TM) as everybody else's, but I was working on it while waiting for FFO to come back online. ...and while Krizak was counting the votes for Round 2.

Since the new time is more convenient for most, some people have already told me that they won't be able to make it. That means that there will definitely be some open Sponsor slots... Come forth, Culex! Join us in the true battle!

This is definitely for the best. Even though I won't have quite as much time, I'll still be able to sponser. It's no fun trying to role-play with all of the bandwidth problems, so hopefully everything'll be working by then.

Krizak: Would it be possible to give a one-day grace period when the drafting starts for previous sponsers and sidekicks to reclaim their character? It would really suck if someone took Locke because they saw the thread before I did.

Kriz, when you post the new drafting thread, how about you also post the original member/character list? Say something along the lines of people not being able to take a character unless the person who chose him/her originally decides to change. That way everyone gets to keep their chosen characters unless they choose someone else. Keep the sponsor list clear to fill up, though, so more people get a chance to bump up a character from Sidekick to Sponsor and there's less chance that no-shows'll get in.

Krizak - Can you put me down for the drafting with the same character and Ex-Type now? I know I'm not going to be around for the drafting - I'm going snowboarding.

And I think that Slipstream's idea is a good one. It stops me from stealing Celes, Cyan, Kain or Frog from under someone else's nose.

Darkken
The Scarlet Magician

What? DAMN! All my hard work, gone to waste...

Does this mean that all the events in this tournament never happened, and all the character relationships built during this tournament are gone?

Well, looks like Gryz got his chance for a rematch with the Scarlet Magician...

Anyway, I'll certainly still have Koren - I have a sub-plot to take to an end. Though I might have to become a Sidekick, this time... I'm not sure I'll have the time otherwise, and besides, with the nasty anti-Dark sentiments others seem to harbor, there's a good chance I'd bite the bullet too early anyway to make for a good story... but Sponsoring is also just so much more fun. Oh, I'll just decide it later.

By the way, I've made a few observations about the system already, especially in terms of Dark characters (having played one, duh). The few main things I've seen that the inability to use R-Votes is pretty painful, as good characters can basically shower in them. Also, having 8 Attack Votes is more of a hinderance than a blessing, as attacking tends to cause people to counterattack, since one can't attack the same characters twice, making them "easy" targets - especially during the first, "No private votes" round. Certainly, Manipulation is magnificently fun as I've already noticed - no doubt the best of the special abilities - but regardless, Dark is probably the weakest of the classes.

Now, what would help, then? How about that the Dark Ex-Type has a second special ability named, say, Stamina, which basically functions as two extra R-Votes used for them at the end of each round. Those R-Votes couldn't, of course, be used for others. Seeing that Dark characters are naturally bound to get much more random attack votes than others (with the "He's evil so it doesn't matter if I kill him" sentiments on the loose here), it might make things a bit more fair. Perhaps Shadow characters could use Stamina, as well, although since they have one R-vote, they could have just one point of Stamina or something.

The voting system is changing, Darkken. It hasn't been finalised yet but I think that every sponsor now gets 8 A-Votes and 4 R-Votes now regardless of EX-Type, the differences between the classes being decided by special abilities.

Tell you what, come along to Random Insanity (the FFO Survivor messageboard) and post some suggestions in the 'Plans for the Future' forum.

I'm probably going ot change characters. Flammie's cool, but most of the venues the tourney takes place in calls for human-size contestants. Plus the lack of background for her made it a little hard.

I think I'll go Dark this time. After all, they have more fun.
