I don't mind short posts. As long as it's progress. that's the reason why my most recent post was a bit on the short side.

It was all in a brief moment, but Caleb felt the full force of the coldness of her punch into his gut, which caused him to go a few feet back. As he staggered backwards, Caleb gripped his stomach area with on hand and as a result, his grip on the blue-hair maiden’s hand. Given that Caleb’s hand that was not gripping his stomach was the one that gripped his keyblade, it would disappear and the emblem would appear upon one of his glove-like gauntlets.

Caleb looked to the girl in front of him and tried to gather himself. He didn’t know what got into her in the first place, but perhaps what he told her made her at least rethink trying to kill Caleb. It was obvious based on the words she spoke that Caleb’s words indeed got to her and now she was asking him — or not — who did it. Caleb would just assume she was asking him and not just thinking aloud.

“Hell if I know, but I’m just going to assume that you got shot with a needle as well. Unless you’re some homicidal maniac that likes attacking people for no reason.” Caleb said rubbing his abdomens as it still had a stinging sensation from the female’s punch.

Who would have thought that the hot-head of the two(Caleb) would be the one with the common sense in mind. xD Also, posted~

Caleb stood ready with his keyblade held in front of him and his stance steady. It was a good stance and just as the woman in front of him asked him something in an angry tone, Caleb thought about it and he came to the conclusion that she was referring to the giant key in his hand. He instantly looked at it and then back to her. “I just got it!” Caleb said as he then looked to the girl once more and by this point, she was coming in hot with a piercing-like motion.

Caleb swerved to the left, back facing a window. He had no idea what got into this girl, but he wasn’t going to let her attack him without at least getting some facts about it all first. “Now, just hold up a moment.” By the time he had spoke, Caleb grab’s the woman’s wrist of her free hand and he would make sure she would feel the tightness of his grip. “Listen, I don’t know who you are or what you think that I might have done, but whatever it is, I didn’t do it.” Caleb was going to make sure each and every word he spoke got to her ears and into her brain. “As for this…giant key-thing, I have no flipping clue.”

With a mix of his own confusion of both what happened to him in Rabanastre and arriving in this strange new world, Caleb still would go on to see where exactly he was. On the same moment that he had decided to do that, he found himself walking only to feel a sharp pain in his lower back. Reaching along his back, Caleb felt around only to land his fingers on a thin needle. He grasped it and pulled it out only to release a slight grunt from the pain of pulling it out.

“What the hell?” Caleb said as he looked at the needle. There was nothing special about it other than the fact that it was a needle with a tip of red, obviously from the blood of Caleb’s body. Caleb let the needle fall from his hand and drop the ground, it in itself making a slight sound upon contact with the concrete floor.

Just as Caleb looked behind him hoping to find who — or what — shot him with a needle, he saw a rather attractive female with long blue hair. He didn’t pay no mind to her at first, but then he examined her body(more of habit than anything else). What he saw was some kind of ice magic forming on her tightened fist. Caleb raised an eyebrow. He didn’t know what she was up to, but as the following seconds would reveal, she threw all of that concentrated ice magic at Caleb in the form of an icy wind-like blast. Alarmed by this just in time, Caleb dodge-rolled to the right, and he was barely able to dodge the ice that came at him.

Once he gathered himself, he heard the blue-haired chick shout out something about Caleb being an assassin and facing her like a man. Also something about trying to kill her. To his knowledge, Caleb hadn’t even done anything to this woman, which was why he just looked at her as if she was crazy. She obviously was or else she wouldn’t attack him like she just did.

“I think you have me confused for someone else. I am not the guy that--” Just as Caleb was talking, he noticed the blue-haired woman had donned what looked to be like an over-sized key. Why does that look familiar? Caleb couldn’t place it, but he could have sworn that the giant key that she had looked a little familiar. “I guess you’re not going to listen to reason, are you?” Caleb just shook his head and he would raise his fists up and as he did, the key from before showed up in his left hand. “This again? Oh well, it’s better than my fists I suppose.” Caleb said as he just stood ready for whatever the female in front of him had to throw at him.

It must have been nearing supper time for the citizens of Rabanastre, as hinted by the way the sun was positioned in the sky. The smells in the air, aside from the dirty air and rancid body odor, there were hints of steak and veggies being cooked all over the city. For a one Caleb, his stomach was starting to react to such smells. It had been a good few hours since he had anything to eat. It was at least seven hours and after walking around all day, doing his usual fights with some of his best friends and rivals, Caleb worked up an appetite.

As he continued to walk around the city, Caleb found himself at the South Gate, to which he went through. It was only then that he was just a few couple of yards away from the Giza Plains. At the first glance that he took with his auburn orbs, Caleb spotted nothing out of the ordinary. Sure he saw dark clouds, but he just assumed it was one of those days where the rain season was coming around. However, as Caleb would look a bit longer, he noticed that the dark clouds that he noticed from before were darker than the usual dark clouds that would gather above the plains. These were pure black, whereas the usual ones were more a dark grey-ish color.

Before Caleb even got the chance to warn anyone or say anything about it, the black clouds not only were above Rabanastre, but from the ground, he saw shadows rise. Now, this wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but these shadows soon took a physical form. They were small and they had insect-like antennas and even more to the bug similarities, their yellow eyes. They looked at Caleb with the emptiest of expressions. He wasn’t sure what to do, but as they grew in numbers, the screams of the people nearby set them off in a frenzy of attacking anyone who made a sound.

When the little black bug-like things started attacking people, they would move within the shadows and their claws dug deep into nearly everyone who couldn’t get away. Even the Archadian Soldiers who were nearby and those who were willing to fight off these creatures were being put to death, one-by one. Caleb wasn’t sure what he should do. His mind was split, but in a most of hastful actions, he didn’t think. He sprang into action and using his fists alone, he went at the Heartless. One-by-one he punched out, causing each one of them fade into shadow particles. Caleb was getting into it as seen by the slight sparks of fire around his crimson-red gauntlets. Each hit he would give the shadows would ignite his fighting spirit, which in turn created a small stream of fire flowing around his gauntlets, so much so that it scared off the black bug-like creatures.

“That’s right! You better run!” Caleb shouted out as he saw the black shadows starting to retreat.

Smiling as he thought he won, Caleb would then see that, from the ground, a big shadow was gathering. He stood in a fighting stance ready for whatever was going to come. However, as he would soon realize, the shadow wasn’t like any of the others. This one actually was many stories tall. Caleb officially was toast. Which was ironic since he’s the one that wields fire.

Not thinking(he does that a lot), Caleb rushed forward to the tall, black shadow, fists up and logic completely vacant. Halfway through the distance between him and the tall shadow, Caleb found his movements have been stopped. Looking down to see what happened, he saw that darkness was starting to eat him up from the feet and upward. He tried and tried to get himself out from there, but like quicksand, it was the more he wiggled the more he seemed to sink. By the time one minute of him wiggling passed, Caleb found himself halfway into the darkness and he eventually became enveloped completely, gone into the darkness and away from his home.

“Wha-what?!
SMASH

The sounds of Caleb’s head and his entire body crashing into steel trashcans could be heard off in the distance as he indeed fell head-first from the sky. Caleb didn’t know what happened. He shook his head, but as he did that, he felt a sharp pain from his forehead. Whether it was the fall or whatever happened between the current moment and him being sunk into the darkness, Caleb knew that he just had a major headache at the current moment. He would struggle slightly to get out of the mess that were the trashcans and the trash that were in them. Eventually after a half of a minute, he got out only to see that he definitely wasn’t home. He didn’t know where he was. He saw odd lights and what seemed like shops of some kind. There were inns and a bunch of other buildings that he had no memory of.

“Damn, I wish I could remember.” Caleb said as he scratched his head and he yawned, arms above him and fingers stretching. That’s when he noticed a chain hitting his face. “What the fuck?!” He looked up and if it wasn’t in his hands, Caleb wouldn’t have believed it. “What this giant key doing in my hand?” Before Caleb could answer himself, large key was gone and that same chain would be engraved on his right gauntlet. “That was weird. I could have sworn that the key looked like..no, it couldn’t be.” Caleb thought about it, but the thought soon left his mind and he looked around and he just would start walking to at least get some kind of indication on where he was.

Do you keep RPing a secret? Is it safe?

I really don't get why I would keep it a secret. It's led to me deciding to pursue something in the writing field be it a journalist or whatever. My family knows that I roleplay online. I mean, it's not really a big secret to them that I'm very creative as they have all seen my poetry over the years. As far as my friends knowing, some of my closest friends are my frequent collaborators in Rping. Even my RL friends — as few that I have — are well-aware that I do online roleplaying and they frequently ask me about it.

So yeah they know and no, I don't keep it a secret.
