Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

"I consider us even, and have already put such events behind."

Maximus sighed, glad that she did, though he knew why, since he had seen her trapped up in the net. Quite adorable it was. Adding in the blush as well he smiled but said nothing. He then noticed Eva moving on her own.

Gippal had looked into Eva's eyes as she stared into his just inches from his face. He couldn't say anything, but he noticed her hesitation as she quickly moved off his lap next to him. He didn't notice how warm he was feeling at the moment. She then asked what happened and he was still silent for a moment when Saina took advantage and told her.

"You dozed off for a moment when we came into the temple, and were been offered a room to stay in for you to come to." She nodded to Gippal. "He has stayed with you the whole time..."

"Now that you're awake, I think I'll take a moment to freshen up... Excuse me."

Maximus nodded and moved out of the way that she could walk past. He then looked over to Gippal and Eva, who were both still sitting on the bed. Eva looking quite embarrassed. Maximus cleared his throat, "You've said this happened before...do you know why?"

Gippal looked up and shook his head, while Eva did the same. "I... I don't know...It's just that...when ever I'm here...just can't handle it." She answered softly as she lowered her voice and wring her hands together.

Gippal glanced at her, and at the room. "But you are managing fine now. You didn't peep a word the last time we were here." He spun a forefinger around with out moving his hand, indicating the room. "Maybe this place was familiar to you."

Eva looked at him and nodded, " I...I do feel comfortable in here. But...no new memories." She started to rub her arms again. As she did Gippal took off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. She smiled and pulled it over herself more. She knew Kilika was important to her. She had a life here before. She just...couldn't stand to be here. But somehow the temple grounds was different. It felt... like home. Yet... it felt so different, something...some one was missing. A flash of the blond haired boy came to her mind. Was it him? She jumped as the door slammed open. She wrapped her arms around Gippals. While Gippal reached for his knife, and Maximus glanced at the door.

"GIPPAL!" Braska burst through the door, "We got problems. Some jackass name Si...Saf...Sifan....you know him..welp "accidently" brought the authorities to Nai, Alex, Urick, and Maximus. They are now currently residing in a jail cell. So ya know.......we gotta save'em."

Maximus raised an eyebrow. "How did the authorities get to me?" He asked very calmly. Though a little confused.

Gippal stood up, Eva let go of his arm as he did. "What?" He took a few steps to braska. "What the hell happened? Why were they arrested?" He didn't believe Sifen would actually send the authority's after them, he didn't know him that well, but seems he's not one to back stab them.

Before Braska could say anything Gippal sighed, "The last thing I wanted do today is to play politics..."

He glanced to Eva and said, "Please wait here... you need some rest."

Eva sat up as to protest but she stopped herself, he did need to take care of his friends. She nodded and said, "Go on.. Ill be fine."

Maximus then added in, "I know some higher up's in the youth league, perhaps I can get some unpaid favors to help us."

Gippal nodded, "Good, we need everything we could use." He pushed both Maximus and Braska out of the room. "Tell me exactly what happened, "

Leaving Eva to herself, as the door shut behind her. She laid down on the bed and pulled the jacket closer to her, breathing in Gippals smell, She closed her eyes, curling into a fetal position.

Urick now sat in a cell a crossed form Alex and Nai, all three in different cells. Nai had woken up and started muttering as she dragged herself to the wall.

Looking over to her he asked softly..."Are...you..Ok...Nai?" He stood up and moved to the bars. placing his hands on them. Rubbing them slightly, they had taken his gauntlets from him... and he felt quite naked with out them.

Edit: I'm taking over Maximus for this turn since he can't get on.

@rivaanno
@Experiment 249just the fact that people have the knowledge that if you attack a guard you will be punished,

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

I wouod say it's in the cuffs, since a lot of people do know magic

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

Urick will fight you the whole way just so you know

But they aren't. Characters like that is actually considered a sin amongst most roleplaying. Cause that's like giving them knowledge from a different perspective. They can share a certain side, like the psychopath side. Doesn't mean they will do or think like you.

And that's a lie. There are plenty of times prisoners Attack guards. Namely jailbreak and usually it's stealthy.

But again, because of Alex being electrocuted, she won't be awake for awhile. And Naisha got beat up so she probably won't be good either. Sooo guards are not probably going to be not attacked.

Edit: I hate autocorrect

@Silver Fox

you missunderstood me. I said characters are a sense of you, meaning that they are a part of your personality. Even if it's a small part. which you agree with. We say the same thing but you said it a different way.

how was it a lie? Everyone knows you attack a guard, you will be subdued and punished accordingly (if you fail) and even if you don't you will be chased). I never said that no one attacks guards I said they wont attack the guards if they don't want the repercussions. Which is a true fact. of course there are people who attack anyways knowing what will happen. This is common knowledge that everyone knows of. Including Nai and Alex, It's common knowledge for them as well because they do live in a world where there are prisons and guards and all that.

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

even if they are characters they still are a sense of you. Besides EVERYONE knows if you are in prison you don't attack the guards if you don't want repercussions I'm sure Nai and alex would be smart enough to know that.

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

but you have to remember if you were knocked out and put into prison, and start attacking the guards do you think that is going to end well?

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

the whole point was to throw everyone off guard. including the players involved. It gives us a chance to roll with the punches and write on the fly and not get bored with knowing everything that's gunna happen, and also remember our characters actions do bring consequences. Though a bit strong in the reaction, withe the lightening and kicking, it shows that the party cant get away with doing what they want, that there is still a law system *though highly flawed* in the game.

Before Lenora was just going to put them in handcuffs and walk them away for questioning, and a fine. But with the assault of the youth league member and the threat against everyone not involved in the issue she was forced to put them down. Though she enjoyed it too much she was doing what she thought best for the safety of the people of Kilika.

This is also going to reveal more about Urick Gippal and Maximus, and who they are. For the reader's point of view

edit: @Rivaan How is Lenora supposed to know how strong or not a person is. But because she gave a threat to destroy Kilika, a town that was destroyed multiple times by Sin, it still holds some weight for all those who live there. Kinda like the twin towers and how it sparked such a change in the world of security. Making threats like that even if they cant be pulled off, are going to be met with extreme action,

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

ok so from all of this we can get one thing. We all are working on becoming better writers. We all have to remember we don't have every member of the group's character memorized like we have our own. So we must continually periodically explain why/how our character is doing something because we will forget. Showing more flaws (raw emotion flaws like fear and worry) is a perfect way of bringing the character back down to earth so everyone is happy.

Also, even though everyone has been training to fight for at least like 11 years or so. Besides Maximus who is the oldest of the group. Even though we have been through some hairy things for our characters stories, they are still technically kids, adventuring to the side, still green in the world.This is what I'm stressing, I want them to find others who are stronger than them and get ass's handed to them so they grow even more in the rp.

I am no where near perfect but When I look at this from a Reader's standpoint it helps a ton, I have to remember that we to write the obvious *For us* down so the reader can learn more, As for me I understand each character more than everyone because I do see the pm's and work out back stories. But others don't, so give them a reason*withoutrevealiingthebackstory* somewhat understand
