Celia: *to Scarlet* SHE seems nice...
Me: Now Celia, what have I told you about the sarcasm?
Celia: Nothing. You MADE me sarcastic.
Me: Oh yeah...
Zach: Nice to meet you all.
Me: See, Cel? Be brave like Zach.
Celia:
Zach: *goes around and meets everybody* Come on, Cel, let me introduce you to these lovely people.
Celia: *is dragged*

Phaidra:

Seymour: Welcome, Phaidra, Celia, Zach, Charlotte, Geo, and Scarlet.

Me: Breathe.

Seymour: I am.

Me: What is this? I'm getting back-talk from you now? That's Mordir's job.

Seymour: Since when?

Me: Since he become more of an annoying villain than an evil one.

Seymour: True.

Mylo: [Lowers head down to Celia and Zach] Dragons are not scary, little ones.

Me: Oh yeah, getting up close will reassure them of that.

Scarlet: Ooooh! A dragon! Lazarus would let me ride one during training! *sniffles* I miss him...

Charlotte: Idiot; they don't know who he is!

Scarlet: Oh, right.

Me: *face-palm/sigh* Don't be scared Phaidra. Geo's gotten rejected plenty of times, so I'm sure he can handle one more.

Geo: Have not!

Me: Yes you have. I should know. I write your every move.

Phaidra: Oh, I see. *Mutters to self* Why am I not surprised?
Me: Phaidra! That was not nice!
Phaidra: What? You were the one that made me so introverted. You never said anything about me being nice!
Me: Ah, I can tell. Well just wait until I'm through with you...
Phaidra:

Zach: Yeah, see, Cel? *pats dragon's nose*
Celia: Uh... *tentatively touches dragon* Okay. *still looks nervous*
Me: Just to clarify, in my last post when it said Celia: *to Scarlet* I meant she was speaking TO Scarlet ABOUT Charlotte.
Celia: Yeah, yeah, they get it. If they were confused, they would have asked.
Me: >_> *cover's Celia's mouth with duct tape*
Zach: *Chuckles* Here, let me help you with that.
Me: Oh, no you don't! *zaps Zach's hand down*
Zach: Hey!
Celia: Mmmph!!!
Me: Well, you're going to make everyone hate you before they even know you!
Celia: *shakes head in disagreement*
Me: Promise to be nice?
Celia: *nods*
Me: *poofs duct tape out of existence*
Zach: *tries not to laugh*

Why are there no names in your post, Elan? I am now confused. Do not congratulate yourself if this was your goal; it is no great feat.

A boy with black hair walks in and stands there silently.

Me: This is Diki. I'm not exactly sure why I chose him to bring in here...maybe it was just to torture him. He is much nicer when he is older, so I like torturing him for some reason.

Mylo: [Looks at Scarlet] You may ride me, if you wish. I am not the best flyer, but I have been able to train myself so I don't look like a young duck in its first flight.

Me: How on eartyh were you able to fly? Just getting out of the water would cause alarm!

Mylo: I have my ways. You simply have yet to come up wth them.

Tarkas: [Approaches Diki] Hello. I'm Tarkas.

Scarlet: Don't worry Mylo, I'm not very picky. *mounts the dragon (on the dragon?)*

Me: Let's see if she can succeed... her old dragon was fairly smaller.

Me: Yes, he's a dragon, but more like a water dragon. His wings a front feet are one.

Mylo: [Stands on his hind feet, then pumps his wings, gaining height. Then flies off]

Me: ...Oooh, story idea! Dangerous, but epic!

Scarlet: WOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Geo: Why does she get to ride the dragon?!

Me: Because you would probably destroy the whole forum!

Mylo: [Circles back around behind Geo, flying low. As he passed overhead, he grabs Geo and flies off]

Me: Forgive him. He doesn't have much interaction with people where he lives. So he doesn't quite know how to behave.

Me: *sigh* Just make sure he doesn't do anything too crazy, alright Mylo?

Celia: Wait, if Mylo swooped down and grabbed Geo, wouldn't Geo be held in his claws/feet/talons? What could he possibly do from ther-
Me: *covers Celia's mouth with duct tape*

Me: Here, anything's possible.

Mylo: I will keep them both out of trouble. Have no fear.

Me: Geo is capable of doing something from there Celia. And thank you Mylo.

Celia: * rips off duct tape before I can zap her hand away* Again?! And ouch, that hurt! *rubs reddening lips*
Me: ZAP!
Celia: *arm snaps down to her side* What?!
Me: Sorry, I was a little late... *releases hold on Celia's arm*
Celia:
Me: *presses button on end of magical zapping pen*
Celia:
Me: There we go!
Celia: HEY! Stop that!
Me: You look so much prettier when you smile!
Celia: You're an evil author!
Me: Don't MAKE me write some MORE terrible things that happen to you...
Celia: *grumble grumble*
Zach:
Celia: Stop laughing, Zach. It's not funny.
Me: XD HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Charlotte: *tries to suppress a giggle*

Me: *hold hand up to ear* What's that Charlotte? *gasps exaggeratedly in a joking manner* Is that a LAUGH I hear???

Charlotte: What? No...

Me: I think it was! And luckily I have a secret camera peeping out through a hole in my hat, that caught the whole thing!
Celia: She probably made it invincible to your power, too. *tries to stop ing*
Me: How did you know? Invincible to muscle power, as well.
Zach: Why can't Cel be invincible?
Me: Because then she wouldn't need you to protect her! *gets warm fuzzies*
Celia: *looks up at Zach with ridiculous smile on her face, then looks at me* You know, he's not ALWAYS the one protecting me. Sometimes it's the other way around...
Me: I guess not... *more warm fuzzies attack*
Zach: Usually I am...
Celia: I beg to differ! And can I please stop ing now?! My cheeks hurt!
Me: Fine... *clicks pen*
Celia:
Me: Watch your face! Don't make me do that again!
Celia:
Me: That's better!

Diki: * sits down and looks slightly bewildered * Is this a dream? Why does everyone looks strange? And why are they all doing strange things?

Me: Because they *points to Zach and Celia* ARE strange.
Celia: Speak for yourself!
Zach: I guess we can be, sometimes...
Celia: We?
Me: *duct tapes both mouths before Celia' causes trouble and Zach doesn't know how to get himself out and therefore digs himself in deeper*
We're all mad here...

Geo: YEAH, WE AREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! *yells while flying*

Tarkas: [Looks around] I haven't figured that out either. But everyone is friendly. Which is nice. I like new faces.

Me: Well duh, you've been cooped up in a palace your whole life.

Seymour:

Me: Four your own protection, of course.

Tae: I've never understood that.

Me: You will later.

Tae: I will? What are you not telling me?

Me: Lots.

Me: But Mist, if your characters are wizards and using their magic comes so easily, what are their weaknesses?
Zach: *tries to stop Elizabeth before she can explain the weaknesses of her characters*
Me: *clicks pen*
Zach *is tied to a chair, mouth still covered in duct tape*
Celia:
Me: For my characters, using their power takes their own energy. Several of them have passed out from the effort-
Zach: *wiggles chair in attempt to drown out Elizabeth's next words*
Me: -including Zach.
Zach: Mmmmph!
Me: I don't remember if Celia has yet or not...
Celia: *gulps*

Me: Trust me, it doesn't come easily to them at all. Problem is, I'm stuck with a bunch of stubborn characters that don't want to admit that they have to make efforts for their talents.

Charlotte, Scarlet and Geo: HEY!

Me: *ignores them* They are strong, definitely, and there are some stuff they can do with ease, but they do lose energy. Depending on their surroundings of course... Geo is a Life wizard, therefore, if he is in say, an area full of trees and animals, he grows stronger and can use the already existing energy around him. Same goes for Charlotte if she's in a cementary or something. It's a bit complicated... my explanations always come out better when I'm writing the actual story for some reason.

Me: Hmm... I wonder whose fault that is... *reluctantly poofs duct tape, ropes and chair out of existence*
Zach: *falls on his rear*
Celia: *stretches previously taped lips*
Zach and Celia: *tackle Elizabeth*
Me: HEY! Ouch... Don't make me do more horrible torturous things to you guys...
Celia: Like you haven't done enough to deserve being tackled!
Zach: *helps Elizabeth up*
Celia: Always the gentleman.
Me: Got a problem with that? Would you like to speak to a manager? Oh wait, I'm the manager!
Celia: Hey! I'm the sarcastic one...
Me: And who MADE you sarcastic?
Celia: *pretends not to hear*

I don't understand what you mean by that...

Haha, sorry. I meant about the stubborn characters.

Me: Ah.

Phaidra: *Watches dragons with bulging eyes* Wha-what are those things?
Me: It's a dragon.
Phaidra: A dragon?
Me: Oh, that's right. You've never seen or heard of them before. They are pretty much just gigantic, powerful, fire-breathing reptiles that can fly.
Phaidra: *Watches with fascination*

Scarlet: YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A DRAGON?!?!?! I FEEL SO BAD FOR YOU!! HEY MYLO, MAYBE WE SHOULD LAND SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO SCREAM!

Me: It's okay Phaidra, they usually won't hurt you.
Celia: *goes over to Phaidra* Don't listen to her, she likes to mess with people. The dragons here won't hurt you, at least.
Me: You ruined it, Celia. I had her all nervous and stuff...
Zach: Could I ask for a better author?
Me: Thank you, Zach!
Zach: I was kidding.
Me: You were?
Zach: No.
Me: You were serious?
Zach: Nope.
Me: You weren't serious?
Zach: Nada.
Me: Huh?
Zach:
Me: WHAT?
Zach: Zilch.
Me: I don't get it!!!
Zach: Nil.
Me: YOU'RE CONFUSING ME!!!
Zach: Nuh-uh.
Me: Yes you are! *clicks pen*
Zach: *mouth superglued shut*
Me: That's better.
Celia: I hope you're not planning on letting him rip his mouth open... That IS something he would do, and it would ruin his lips...
Me: Don't you mean hurt his lips?
Celia: Oh. Yeah. THAT'S what I meant.
Me: XD Don't worry, it's super-strong superglue. His mouth isn't opening until I say so.
Zach: Mmph!
Me: Hehe.

Scarlet: *lands with Geo* Let's help you get over your fear, Phaidra! *sings 5-note tune* *Rinabeth, Scarlet's dragon, lands gracefully next to her* Feel free to pet her, she is very sweet.

Me: Yeah, she is. But she's still pretty small; only one person can ride her at a time.

Scarlet: But she's growing quickly!

Mylo: [Puts Geo on the ground before landing a few feet away. Begins picking bugs out of his teeth]

Me: Ew, really Mylo? Not in public! Honestly!

Mylo: What? You can't expect a dragon to know all of your special Human rules.

Me: No, but Chayn would better than that.

Mylo: Chayn's a girl.

Me: -_-

Me - Goodness, you forget to post, and everyone else on the forum jumps in.

Thysal - *lifts her head and sniffs the air* Hmmm.

Zanya - That's all? "Hmm?" Really? *looks at newcomers with wide green eyes*

Thysal - And I don't breath fire. I'm an ice dragon.

Me - Snippity, are we?

Vala - *waves at Phaidra and Celia* Hey there! Where're you from?

Arath - *appears seemingly out of nowhere* *looks around* Uh-oh . . .

Thysal - *watching Mylo intently* So do you eat bugs or is that just a hazard of flying?

Phaidra: *Steps back some when Rhinabeth lands* Wow! She's pretty!*Pets dragon*
Me: *Makes sure Phaidra can't hear* Now she'll never let me rest until I give her one!
Phaidra: Why aren't there dragons in Ciarda?
Me:
Phaidra: You didn't answer me. *watches transfixed as Mylo cleans his teeth. Makes a face*
Me: *Nods toward Mylo* Does that answer your question? *Replies to Thysal* Forgive me, I was sort of describing the usual stereotype that people give to dragons. *Whispers* Sometimes Phaidra doesn't need to know all the details.

Me: - noms jelly beans -

Viarri: - fiddles with Skyburner's tail-tip -

Skyburner: - thwacks Viarri with tail - Stop that. It tickles!

Viarri: YEEOUCH!! - rubs face - Sorreeey..

Me: Welcome back, Ciela and Viarrio! You didn't miss much... Just me being awesome.
Zach:
Celia: Uh... Yeah, let's call it that.

Mylo: A flying hazard. There aren't many bugs in the water. [Tries to pick out a rather firmly stuck bug]

Me: You're grossing out the others. Stop it.

Mylo: My apologies. [Voice dripping with sarcasm]

Me: You're worse than Mordir.

Me: It's okay Mylo, I'll help. *gets rather sturdy stick*
Zach: Be careful...
Celia:
Me: Don't worry guys, he's nice. I think... *picks out the bug Mylo was working on*

Phaidra: It takes more than that to gross me out.
Me: Since when?
Phaidra: *Glares* I still say there needs to be dragons in Ciarda.
Me: Who said there wasn't?
Phaidra: I've never seen them.
Me: *Mutters* You've never seen anything.
Phaidra: . By the way, you are going to fix that aren't you? I've been stuck in that awful citadel for so long...
Me: Yep, I know. Just be patient and we'll see what happens .

Celia: Phaidra, be afraid. Be very afraid. When authors say that, something awesome might happen, but the awesome factor is drowned out by something terrifying.
Zach: Not all authors are like Elizabeth...
Me: Hey! >.>
Zach: We love you...
Celia: I think...
Me: grr...

Charlotte: *mutters* Try having an author like Natalia...

Me: HEY!

Charlotte: Can't blame me! You killed all of our parents!

Me: It was necessary for the plot! And I didn't kill *all* of them. Scarlet's mother is still very much alive.

Scarlet: *mutters as well* Yeah, a drunkard who doesn't love me, but still alive.

Me: Don't you start!

Geo: It *is* a bit unfair...

Me: Shut up. I'll do whatever I want.

Geo:

Me: Oh my goodness! Getting a little snippy there, aren't you, Natalia? Can't say I blame you...
Celia: Shh! Charlotte might hear you...
Zach: You're scared of her?
*Charlotte glares at Zach*
Zach: I mean, uh... Oh, you're scared of her.
Me: XD Don't worry, I won't let the mean Death wizard hurt you. Oh yeah, Max... *drags Max in*
Max: Hello! *hugs Celia and Zach and shakes everyone else's hands with a wide grin* Nice to meet you all!
Me:
Celia: What's wrong?
Me: I can't tell you... You'll find out soon enough...
Zach: Uh-oh... Something bad's going to happen...
Max: Eh, so many bad things have happened already, what's another one?
Me: If only you knew, Max. If only you knew.
Max:
Me: ANYWAY, Max, let me introduce you to Mylo! Feel free to help me pick the bugs out of his teeth.
Max: Ha! Cool! *rubs Mylo's nose* What's up, Mylo? Cool name. You're a dragon, right?

Charlotte: *lifts Zach by the collar of his shirt* *eyes turn red* Trust me, I haven't given you anything to be scared of yet. *drops and walks away*

Scarlet: Trust me Celia, you're right to be scared of her. Anywho, if Elizabeth brought Max in, can I bring Dawn?!

Me: Sure.

Scarlet: Yaaayyy! *creates a red mist* *mist dissapears and Dawn materializes*

Dawn: What the... where am I?!

Scarlet: Hi Dawn! You're in the Holy Worlds Character Role Play now!

Dawn: Uhh... okay then...

Zach:
Max: Hi Dawn!
Celia: Hello.
Zach: Hello. *still ing at Charlotte*
Me: Did you ever notice how Charlotte and Scarlet sound almost the same? And don't worry, Zachy, I won't let her hurt you-too badly, anyway.

Me: Yeah, their names rhyme. That's how their first conversation kicks off.

Dawn: *waves at everyone, still unsure as to why she's here*

Charlotte: What's the matter Zachy-boo? Didn't expect to be bullied by a weak little girl like me? *speaks in a sarcastic tone and smirks*

Me: You can be quite the meany sometimes, you know?

Zach: I know from experience that girls aren't weak. I never thought you were.
Max: Oh yeah, COMPLIMENT her...
Celia: Max! Shh!
Me:
