Me: Oohhhh!

Brian: *stands up and waves to new characters* Greetings, Ark and Dai. Welcome!

Emuna: *waves to new characters* Hia!

Me: Let Gavin join the dark side? *waves hand* Oh no! We went on that adventure once, Gavin isn't joining no bodies villains anywhere. ( Bad grammar is fun to use on occasion)

Vanessa: What adventure is that?

Mikhail: I don't think we know Gavin, Nessa.

Vanessa: I know...I just don't like all these people...thought it'd be fun to talk to the author.

Me: You're not really hear to talk to the author. So no story for you. You have to be developed.

Vanessa: What?

Me: Nevermind. *needs to get around to explaining the physics of writing to Nessa*

Me: *pushes Ark toward Bethany's characters* Go be social.

Ark: I was under the impression we were supposed to remain in character.

Me: Okay, don't be social, then. But be polite. Besides, it'll be more interesting than standing here doing nothing.

Ark: If you insist. *walks toward Bethany's characters* It is an honor to meet you. *bows*

Dai: *trails after Ark, still looking around*

Brian: *shakes head, grimaces, stops shaking head* Uhh...you don't have to bow. *rubs neck* Not like we're royalty or anything.

Me: Maybe one of them is royalty...maybe one of them isn't...they'll neeeveeer knoooww anything.

Mikhail: Umm...O...Kay?

Me: *throws book at Mikhail*

Mikhail: *dodges book* What was that for?!

Me: *shrugs* Character development... *takes notes*

Vanessa: *smiles faintly* At least she didn't hit you, Mikhail.

Mikhail: Only because I dodged...

Ark: Where I come from, a shallow bow is a customary greeting. What is the custom among your people?

Dai: *stands around awkwardly*

Brian: We have no specific custom for people to use as a greeting in Realta.

Emuna: But in Shamayim we don't bow either, only to Elah Shaddaih or those higher above us.

Brian: *smiles* Yes, what she said.

Me: I'm bad with explaining traditions and customs.

Vanessa: *ventures from beside Mikhail and walks up to Dai* Hello, nice to meet you. Where would you be from?

Me: Hey, most of the time I'm not even sure what the traditions and customs are.

Ark: I see.

Dai: Where I come from, we usually shake hands with equals. Ark doesn't like being touched, though. So we stick to his customs.

Ark: *sigh*

Alexis: Welcome Ark and Dai! *walks over to Vanessa* *smiles gently* You'll get used to it here. We're not scary. Or at least not all scary. *meaningful look at the congregating villains* Just stay away from them.

Me: Steve is back!

Me: *thinks* I might have to bug the villains for these two...

Mikhail: Pardon?

Me: Nothing.

Vanessa: *quivers and walks back to beside Mikhail* She didn't say there would be villains here.

Me: *whacks Vaness on the head* Uncharacteristic...try again!

Vanessa: Ow!....what? You wrote it?

Me: *shakes head* Let's play with the other two...

Emuna: Why doesn't Ark like to be touched?

Brian: *lightly hits Emuna's arm*

Emuna: What?

Me: 2 more pages... O.o

Kai: And you, lazy as always, won't read them.

Me: Hey! Not my fault I was gone 2 days anyhow...

Kai:

Klasina: @Whoever was asking here - No... I'll leave her alone... for now...

Me: The "for now" bit worries me. O.o

Klasina: *returns to hugging Kai*

Kai: Get her off me, please?

Me: Nah, this is good for you!

Kai:

Roel: Hey, Klasi, there's a cute little baby dragon over there. *points at Ember*

Klasina: Baby dragon! Cute! Oooo! *bounces over to Ember*

Kai: Thanks, Roel.

Roel: Does this mean you don't think I'm a traitor anymore?

Kai: No. But I won't kill you in your sleep.

Roel: Well, that's some comfort, I think.

Kai: *to self* Instead I'll do it in broad daylight in front of your mother.

Roel: YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!!!

Me: Whoa, guys! Keep the plot stuff in your story, okay?

Roel: *stalking Kai*

Kai: *safe up in the rafters*

Me:

Ark: *sigh* I just don't. And Dai talks too much.

Dai: Sorry? *sheepish grin* So, um, anything interesting happening?

Me: Wow, I'll be gone for four days...I'll need another mod to keep up with this temporarily...

Rinifer: *still standing in the corner looking rather gruff and manly*

Cuoash: *still shy*

Emuna: Classify interesting...it certainly is interesting that the villains are creating a sort of pact...

Brian: I think there are fights going on as well...but I'm not sure.

Me: Yah, neither am I.

Vanessa: *chuckles* I don't believe talking too much is one of my problems...

Mikhail: Indeed...if anything she talks too litte...

Alexis: (@Dai) I'm sure if you want interesting here. The villains seem to be just a little too interesting. (@Vanessa) *follows her* Don't worry. They won't hurt you unless you provoke them.

Skylar: (@Raczr) Thank you.

Vanessa: (@Alexis) How do you provoke them?....

Alexis: Weeell. I'm not sure. I naturally provoke my author's villains because of who I am. I think as long as you don't join this battle they're trying to start, and you don't tell them not to do something, you'll be fine.

Dai: Hmm...*studies the villains*

Ark: Dai, if you wish to get yourself killed, there are easier ways.

Dai: I'm not going to do anything when I'm so badly outnumbered. *continues to watch the villains*

Vanessa: I don't think I'll be getting involved in that battle any time soon... *edges closer to Mikhail*

Me: For the record...I'm still deciding on exactly how these two's relationship gets to the point of where it is right now... So pardon me if I start messing with them by giving them mood swings and such...hehe....

Emuna: *quivers* You mean like what you did to me?

Me: Yes...and look how well developed you are now?!

Emuna: *hides behind Brian* She scares me sometimes...

Brian: *nods* Indeed she does.

Mikhail: Nessa, I think you'll be fine. As it seems we don't have any villain trying to kill us yet...

Me: *chuckles* yet...

Aris: [Laughs] Alright, you're all done. Go off and get yourself into trouble. [Tosses a bottle to Shawn] Here you go.

Me: Where did you get that?

Airs: It's magic!

Tynx: Steve!

Chayn: [Sniffs Steve]

Me: I like Steve. And the first smile smiley is better than this one which looks like

Tesmir: Random spurt of the moment.

Seymour: I believe I am in my late thirties, give or take a year.

Me: Yeah, somewhere 'round there.

Aris: I'm eighteen.

Tounon: It didn't? [Presses forward, cutting at Elanhil's middle, then knees, then thrusting at his chest]

Orrun: She's been playing the Third Age.

Me: Ecthelion Wrath! Mwahahahahaha!

Rune: And a little obsessed?

Me: I am not.

Rowen: [Snorts]

Me: Am not! I just like the game.

Orrun: Which requires strategy, of which you have little.

Me: Are you all going to slam on your author all day, or are we done?

Orrun: I'm done.

Seymour: Hello, new characters.

Me: I sense immense enthusiasm coming from the half-Elf.

Tynx: [Runs over to Ark and Dai] Hi there! I'm Tynx. You have cool names.

Mordir: [Looks at Dai] Join us, if you wish. We need all the help we can get.

Chayn: [Tries to stand]

Aris: Careful.

Chayn: I'm fine. I just need to fly for a moment to stretch. I'll be careful. Shawn, I'll be back soon. [Awkwardly jumps into the air.]

Me: Really?! Mid-thirties...I was expecting Seymour to be like...one hundred.

Brian: Why?

Me: Just because most wise characters are that old...

Brian: Oh, really?

Emuna: Name one of your wise characters that are that old.

Me: Well...umm...good point. I was being stereotypical...

Mikhail: What's all this talk about age?

Me: Nothing...say...how old are you?

Mikhail: ...late twenties?

Me: *shrugs* Yah, sure. What about you, Nessa?

Vanessa: I don't know...maybe stars don't have ages.

Me: Oo! I like that! *runs to notebook*

Dai: (@Mordir) Not a chance. For one, I'm not a villain, and for two, I'd probably have to fight Ark if I joined you. And there is no way I'm getting into a fight with someone who's--

Me: I don't think you're supposed to know that yet, Dai...

Dai: Sorry.

Ark: *ignores Dai and looks at Tynx* Hello, Tynx. It is an honor to meet you.

Seymour: [Smiles] Not quite that old yet.

Me: Not that old? You'll get there. You have a long life span. Like Elves. Just not crazy long, like Elves. It's a mix between elves and humans.

Seymour: Hence the name half-Elf.

Me:

Mordir: You really need to stop using the smilies.

Me: You're just being a spoilsport.

Mordir: [Looks at Dai] Oh, OK. My apologies, I thought you were a villain.

Tynx: [Wags tail] You're a human, right? Why is your name Ark? What's your world like?

Me: Social butterfly.

Kaida: *huffs impatiently* So, Meriak, ya wanna maybe, I dunno, react to me shoving my knife through your chest?

Me: You don't know that it made it...

Kaida: We've been standing here for three pages, don't think I was there the whole time saying "it's getting closer... iit's geeetttiiinng clooosserr."

Me: why must my sarcasm be so contagious?

Tanner: *blocks Rune's slash from a few pages ago* I don't know, maybe it's because sarcasm bothers you so much and you're a sucker for punishment.

Me: Rats, now you've got my ability to turn your hatred into something manifest.

Aren: Then perhaps you're here to learn just the same as we are author.

Me: (I think it's the eyebrows that make it weird...) Thank you Aren, I believe I am.

Ark: I'm not actually human. I'm Fae.

Me: He looks human, though. And I haven't done enough development of the race to work out many differences.

Ark: As for my name, I took it on many years ago when I chose to stop using my given name. And my world...it is a lovely place where islands float above the sea and flowers bloom all year round. What is your world like?

Dai: (@Mordir) Heh. With my author, you're best off assuming good guy. She doesn't have many villain characters.

Me: Although there is one from your story I could bring out...hehehe.

Ark: NO!

Me: Something wrong, Ark?

Ark: Yes! Don't bring her in here. Please.

Me: I don't know. I'm still thinking about it.

Ark: I thought you didn't like invincible villains in group stories, anyway. This is sort of a group story, isn't it?

Me: Yes...but she's not invincible, she just can't be killed. There's a difference. You know that as well as I do.

Ark: ...yes. Please don't bring her in here, though...

Me: We'll see.

Me: I WANT TO BRING MY VILLAIN!!!! CAN I BRING MY VILLAIN?! PLEASE!

Emuna: No! Please don't!

Brian: I don't like where this is going...

Me: *whacks the two of them* Shush!

Vanessa: W-what Villain?

Me: Not yours you don't have a main antagonist as well developed as Terminus right now.

Mikhail: Thank the...umm...what do we thank?

Me: *shrugs* The gods?

Mikhail: *makes face*

Me: Oh...right...forgot...I don't know...just say thank heaven for now.

Vanessa: I'm scared...is this Terminus a really bad villain?

Emuna: He's....just... r-really bad... *hides behind Brian*

Me - YES! Bring in more villains, by all means!

Traxus - DON'T!

Zanya - (casually waves at the newcomers) Hey there.

Sabre - (strides in, ready to take on the world) I'm back! What'd I miss?

Sylvia - Not much. Lots of new people. Hi! (Waves at Leandra's and Bethany's new charries)

Ember - (Purrs catlike at Klasina's attention)

Me - I'll let him be a baby for several most posts.

Sylvia - Wait, what?

Me - Wait for it . . .

Thysal - (Growls at Pirzak) Come on. I dare you. (Places herself between Pirzak and Jay)

Niarah - (Sits in a corner, with her head buried in her paws)

Ashrai - @Traxus: Go comfort your cousin.

Traxus - Why don't you? You're her friend!

Ashrai - I . . . can't. (Turns and walks off by himself)

Traxus - (Growls, then goes to sit by Niarah)

Me - I'm loving this. (Files character information for further use)

Me: Go ahead and bring him in, Beth. I'm sure he and Devon will have a blast.....if they can stand each other.
Alexis: That's....scary.

*briefly regrets never bringing in Gisbourne to wreak havoc*

Me: I got two okays (one being from an ML) so in comes Terminus!

Emuna: Please! Can't we bring in someone else?!

Me: Nah...it's only fun if the new villain makes you cry.

Emuna: *quivers and stays hidden behind Brian* This thread is quickly turning into a torture thread...

Brian: I'm inclined to agree.

Me: It is what it is. *makes Villain appear* I'm lazy today so I shan't describe what he looks like above the fact that he is male and human.

Terminus: *scowls* Really?

Me: *shrugs* I said I was lazy.

Devon: *visibly inspects Terminus* My author says we'll either really get along, or hate each other's guts. So which will it be?

Me: Way to cut to the chase, Devon.

Me: HAHAHAHAHA!

Terminus: *crosses arms and looks at Devon* I don't know. How old are you boy?

Emuna: *stays hidden silently behind Brian*

Brian: *whispers to Emuna* I don't think he even know you're here...

Emuna: *whispers* I know...j-just...would prefer to...to stay back h-here.

Brian: *nods* As you wish. I'm not to keen on the idea of him being here either.

Terminus: Shut it boy!

Brian: *sigh*

Vanessa: I don't think we know this person, Mikhail.

Mikhail: We don't. From my perspective though, he doesn't appear to be all too friendly...

Me: He isn't.

Devon: Nearly nineteen. *lifts head proudly*

Alexis: (@Emuna) *whispers* He sounds like Devon.

Emuna: (@Alexis) *shakes head* He's much worse...much much worse.

Brian: Emuna, I don't think he'll be able to hurt you in here.

Emuna: *doesn't move*

Brian: *sigh* But you can stay behind me if you wish...

Terminus: *scoffs* Nineteen are we? Ha! My daughter looks older than you and she is two years younger...scrawny boy.

Me: Tell me if he gets too rude. I can always duct tape him to a chair.

Terminus: How dare you!-

Me: *whacks Terminus* Hey! When you're out of the book I control you?! Comprende? *mumbles* Lucky I'm letting you insult Devon ungrateful antagonistic brute...

Terminus: *scowls*

Devon: *face turns beet red with anger* *sneers* So that's how it will be, is it?

Me: He can be rude all he wants. Devon and I deserve it after Devon bad-mouthing Brian.

Emuna: (@Alexis) H-he really shouldn't get T-Ter...the other guy...umm...angry...

Brian: *smiles* Don't know, Emuna. This could be fun.

Emuna: *starts to quiver* No it can't!

Brian: *stops smiling* You're right...sorry...

Me: Like I said...tell me if he gets annoying.

Terminus: I suppose. *pokes Devon's shoulder* Not that I would need someone as weak as you on my side.

Vanessa: *watches wide-eyed* This could go south pretty quickly.

(Me: Just a warning for everybody, I'm playing with her dialogue so if she starts talking southerN or British that's me trying to figure her out. )

Mikhail: I agree...this can't end well...

Devon: *eyes spark fire* *shoves back hard* Weak, am I? Keep your hands off me!

Alexis: (@Emuna and Brian) It might be good. Maybe they'll obliterate each other.

Brian: Oh Terminus can't be obli-

Emuna: *lightly hits Brian's arm* *shakes head*

Brian: Umm...never mind.

Me: For the record...Terminus is more like forty or thirty years old (haven't decided, but just picture an adult male)

Terminus: *pushes Devon back really hard* Yes, weak. Like a girl!

Vanessa: *continues to watch* If this gets violent...

Mikhail: I'll just end them both an-

Vanessa: Mikhail!

Mikhail: Oh, right. Sorry...sort of hard to switch on and off...

Devon: *really angry* A girl! *shoves back even harder* A GIRL?! *shoves again*

Me: (@Beth) Is he unkillable, or something?

Kai: Ooo, look, a fight! *walks over to Terminus* Want some help here? *flashes his katana with a grin*

Me: Don't go getting yourself killed, Kai.

Kai: Oh, don't worry, I won't! I don't want you to make Klasi hug me again.

Klasina: *kisses Ember* Awwwwww! He is so CUTE!!!! How big is he? Can I pick him up? Can I dress him like a baby???

Me: O.o

Terminus: *effortlessly pushes against Devon's broken ribs than sweeps his foot under him* Yes! Like a girl! *hands begin to glow a dark shade of blue* Touch me again. I dare you. *glares at Devon*

Me: (@Raven) No, he just has this really advanced sort of power that makes him next to unkillable. He can create forcefields and such...so it's hard to beat him.

Emuna: B-Brian...

Brian: It'll be fine, he doesn't even notice you're here.

Emuna: *nods* I h-hope not.

Vanessa: Wow...that's a new thing... *looks at Terminus' glowing hands*

Me: Not really, just not in your book.

Vanessa: Right, we just have the invented race.

Me: So does the other one...

Vanessa: Aww...I thought that was a one time thing.

Terminus: *glances at Kai* Help? You want to take care of this kid? *motions to Devon* Have at it. *steps back*

Kai: Sure. And afterwards, I want to fight YOU.

Me: O.o B-but, he's invincible!

Kai: All the more reason for me to kill him. *draws katana and proceeds to kill Devon*

Devon: *wonders how on earth Terminus knew about his ribs* *mutters* A little birdie must have told him. *glares at Brian* *grabs Kai's katana as it comes down, shoving it into the dirt* *hand gets badly cut* *jumps up* *lands a viciously strong hook punch on Terminus's face, followed by a hard stomp on his foot* You tried to CHEAT!

EDIT:
Me: If I'm getting out of things too much by him pushing the katana away, feel free to ignore it.

Kai: No, I have no problem with that... *whilest Devon is distracted, cuts off his head*

Me: O.o

Terminus: *seems unfazed by punch* *kicks Devon on the side, hard* Foolish boy! *disappears in puff of small smoke*

Me: Didn't think he could do that yet...hmm...I guess he can now that I finished the book...*shrugs*

Emuna: *watches silently*

Brian: I don't see why I would tell him...I hate the guy...

Terminus* *reappears behind Devon* Hello. *kicks Devon hard in the back*

Me: I've never exactly had Mr.magic and sorcery over there fight with a person of average abilities and strengths...so excuse me if I jumble you up some.

Vanessa: That disappearing thing is new too...

Mikhail: Indeed...he would be a valuable asset to my race.

Me: Ha! Yah, I'm not planning on combining your worlds anytime soon.

Devon: *grimaces as the kick lands on his ribs* *doubles backward (sort of, as much as a person can)* *grabs Terminus's leg as he falls, bringing him down with him* *turns over quickly, burying his face in Terminus's leg to keep it from getting kicked*

Me: I know, I'm leaving him in a vulnerable place, but I don't want to cross the unspoken rule for the number of moves per post, whatever that number is.

Me: *tries to picture* Okay...I think I caught that...

Terminus: *easily pulls Devon of him and throws Devon a few feet away from him* *stands up and brushes self off* Congratulations, *holds hands up as if holding a bushel of fire wood* You got me mad...

Me: I don't think my position is any better to leave him in....

Emuna: *gasps* Brian, I have to do something.

Brian: *frowns* No, you don't.

Emuna: I can't just let him kill him!

Brian: Yes, you can. It's character intro-

Emuna: *scowls*

Brian: *sigh* If you want to...

Devon: *lands hard and lies motionless for a moment* *eyes flash open* *jumps up, runs, and shoves Terminus, using his motion to get the strength to push him over* *lands on top, straddling* *mutters* Wish my silly author person had made Brian give my switchblade back. *punches Terminus hard in the face*

Me: *sigh* Devon has no fighting imagination. (more like I don't )

Dai: (watching Terminus and Devon) And you want to bring in a villain why?

Me: Entertainment? Besides, she could use some development too.

Ark: *groans*

Emuna: *timidly ventures out from behind Brian*

Terminus: *dodges blow and grabs Devon's arm* *twists his arm while grabbing Devon by the other arm and pushing Devon off him* *throws him again, harder this time* *hands glow blue again creating a small trail off light whenever he moves them* Before I was mad... *holds hand up to Devon* Like when ironman does that thing with the light on his suit and he holds his hands out wide open? and now you're dead...

Emuna: *whispers* I'm going to regret this... *hurriedly creates a small purple glowing orb that floats above her hands*

Me: Wow...I really hope that didn't go over my max number of moves...

Devon: *lands hard again* *arm breaks under him* *lies still* *raises good arm to shield his face, not sure what's coming*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: Yay! I found a picture of an older Devon! Now I just have to find one for the age he actually is. Not much chance of that.
