The Answers Lie Within - Altered Tundra and Kingdomkeylight

The group was in the courtyard, only for a moment. Olette, sarcastically mostly, said that they shouldn't go in. Or rather, she asked if they were just going to go in without knocking or making some kind of notice that they were there. That's when Pence said that it had been abandoned for almost half of a century. Though, he made a slight mention of the rumor that every teenager and kid in Twilight Town know and that was about how there was said to be a girl living in the mansion on the second level.

Jaakuna remembered hearing that one and it was often associated with the girl having hair as white as snow and her dress blue as the ocean waters. There were also retellings of the rumor with her having black hair and being a prostitute. Obviously the truth is always going to be stretched. One can't hope for a straightforward story when it comes to rumors. Still, the fact remains: every telling of that legend was that there was a girl living in the Abandoned Mansion on the second level. That, at least, was worth looking into.

When the group entered the mansion, the difference between the courtyard and the inside of the mansion was a drastic change. From the worn down and rather unpleasant look that the courtyard had to the more up-to-date look that the inside of the hallways of the mansion had, Jaakuna definitely took notice to this. He noticed that the floors were freshly cleaned. There wasn't a spot of dirt that he could see. The pictures framed up on the white walls displayed an exquisite taste of art.

When the group made their way into the main room -- the first from the entrance of the place -- Jaakuna instantly took notice to the stairs. They were carved from a premium marble. The shine of the stairs gleamed from the multiple light sources that eliminated the darkness. There was the natural light from the sun that beamed through the windows, but that only made up half of the lighting in the room. There was also a series of chandeliers hanging high above the room, with lights so bright that you would think that they were in a tanning bed. However, the lights did not clash with the natural light from the sun. No, it was like they were being dimmed on purpose.

JAakuna and Hayner looked in awe and surprise. They had never seen anything so beautiful. More to the point, they were more surprised than anything else. They couldn't believe that the mansion looked like this given that it was supposed to be haunted and abandoned.

"Pence must have been right, then," Hayner said, neck arched back, body spinning slowly. He was just looking at how everything looked in comparison to the outside.

"If he is, then that makes me want to meet her even more," Jaakuna said, with a smile on his face. He was filling up with excitement and anticipation.

Though he was smiling wholeheartedly, there was still a feeling of...unsureness inside of Jaakuna's mind and gut. Ever since he got that omnious and confusing feeling back in the forest, Jaakuna couldn't shake it off that perhaps Olette might have been right. Perhaps they shouldn't be in the mansion. Even though it was only a minimal doubt creeping into his mind, JAakuna somehow knew that something was going happen. He couldn't explain it, he couldn't prove it, but he knew that something was going to go wrong. I hope that I'm wrong.

Corrupt A Wish

Granted, but people think you're superficial, so you lose all of your friends and are exiled from any charitable functions you belonged to.

I wish to be rich and wealthy.

Corrupt A Wish

Granted, but it's actually a cumin roll.

I wish for peace on earth.

@kingdomkeylight

Oh yeah, I forgot you're in the army, right?

Corrupt A Wish

Granted. It will now try to kill you and your entire family.

EDIT: Granted, but it will be slow...very slow.

I wish for something.

What is High Casual?

I'm surprised Low Advanced isn't a term used.

@Ace of Hearts

Oh it is, but not as much as High Casual is. Essentially they are the same thing, though. Obviously the main difference is that High Casual is used in the Casual section while Low Advanced is used in the Advanced section.

Using artwork for characters/Art stealing. (Civil discussion please)

An interesting topic.

I am one of those people that use images from say DA and sites like it. I don't change up the image or anything like that nor do I take ownership for it. If anything, I use it as a reference. What I mean is that I would write up a basic description for a character like "tall, slender, white hair, red eyes". If by chance that I come across an image that fits my descrption, then I'll use it as a visual reference. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong since I'm obviously not making any profit off of it. If anything, I think artists should be flattered that so many people use their images. It just means that they're doing great work. The fact that people use their images as visual references is proof of that.

@Altered Tundra I am quite flexible when it comes to applications. Six people is the desired amount, but if there are more quality characters being submitted, I will not dismiss them just because the quota is met already. So, no need to feel as if you are competing against each other.

@Prisk

Oh, okay. I guess I just assumed cause you mentioned in the OP that you were looking for six or so people. In that case, I retract what i said before in response to @DukeOfMadness's inquiry. It also takes off some previous worries I had myself about how the process would go. Just going to make my character(when the character Sheet Skelly is given), and just hope for the best. :)

Pretty good. I woke up a few hours ago. And yes, I know how that sounds. I'm currently on a nightowl sleeping schedule.
