When Kai had one foot out of the palace gates, he found himself stopped by a number of things. The first that was the most prominent of that which stopped him in his tracks was Mother Nature herself. She had blown a strong gust of cold wind into his face, caused his blond strands of hair to stand up in a frenzy and his entire body to start shaking. It was around that very same moment that he had been bumrushed by panicked guests, whom in which Kai recognized from the party. They trampled all over his thin body. Wool boots and heels crushed him until the last one ran over him. By this time, Kai was beaten and bruised, but his resolve to go after Anna was still just as strong as before he was the exit mat of those who lived in Arendale.

As he got up and went to leave, Cielle tugged at his arm, forcing him to stay for a moment or two longer. This time, however, Kai wasn’t being physically assaulted by strangers. The only punishment he endured was the ever-enduring torture of common sense. Oh how Kai hated that, but he couldn’t deny what she said was absolutely right. With the weather, he wouldn’t make it that long out there in the freezing cold that was suddenly brought to the land.

“Fine. Let’s get the proper winter wear.” Kai said, grunting. He was starting to feel the effects of the cold and the various bruises all over his body.

Kai wasn’t far behind Cielle when she led him to a different area of the castle that was west to the courtyard. It was less inhabited as other places seemed to be. Good thing, because Kai watched her say some things (and later do) that weren’t exactly, as Kai thought, exactly preferred to be done to the castle. The first thing that she had said was about the Keyblade and how it was much more than a shiny object to wave at enemy hostiles. Like its name had hinted at (though Kai never put the pieces together), it was a blade that was the literal key to things. Cielle demonstrated by pointing it at the door in front of them, which had a lock. As she did, Kai watched intently as a bright, thin beam of light came from the tip of the blade and had unlocked the door, allowing Cielle to open it with ease.

“Wow. That was way cool!” He didn’t have any other words.

Kai was still in a bit of a state of shock, but he was brought out of it when he saw what was on the opposite end of the door. What he saw in place of whatever it was Cielle wanted to show him was an assortment of the creatures -the Heartless - that they had encountered in Traverse Town, though they were strikingly different. He remembered what the ones from before looked like. They were just normal shadows, but the ones he saw, while they did have the same black heart emblem, they were vastly different. The little ones looked like those little shadows from Traverse Town, but they had blue hats and were surrounded by an icy aura. And as for the bigger one behind them, it looked like a big snowman, except it wasn’t jolly at all. It meant business.

Kai smirked towards Cielle. “You take the ones in the front and I’ll take the big boy.” Kai nodded, not waiting for Cielle to agree before heading first into battle.

With his Keyblade held in a reverse grip, Kai jumped high above the little ones. His plan was to jump behind the big one and strike it that way, but as it would turn out, the snowman heartless saw him coming a mile away. Before he even realized what had happened, Kai was given a direct upercut from the big, white heartless, and ended up laying flat on his back next to Cielle, who hadn't even moved from where she stood.

“Well, that could’ve gone a little smoother,” he grunted, looking towards Cielle’s way.

What you call disgusting, I call a very therapeutic ritual.

Palm Beach Royals: Senior Year

I should be able to get my Stella intro up tonight. Got an idea while I was doing #2 bathroom business. Just gotta do the writing for it. xD

Ban the Person above you

I ban you for setting a limit of how many times one can ban another.

Hey guys!

The Palms GM Team would like to ask for line breaks whenever you have multiple characters speaking in your paragraphs. Essentially, if character A says one thing, then character B's response to that will be in a new line instead of the same paragraph. See the below for an example.

Character A looked at Character B. "Hi!"

Character B smiles, "hello!"

Apologies if this wasn't stated beforehand. But we please ask everyone to do this for all future posts, and thank you for bearing with our last-minute rule additions. <3

As Zestasia waited for the tall, dark-haired woman to say something back to him, he heard a couple more voices come from behind him. As soon as he heard this voice, he knew who it was, but he had to turn around to confirm it. Sure enough, he saw that red hair of the short, little swordswoman who, as Zestasia recalled, didn't like him too much. He couldn't remember if she had actually said it to his face, but that was the vibe he remember getting from her. And much like the one before her, she also had a word or two about his "stupidity", though she didn't seem to be as careful with what she said. If Zestasia was being honest with himself, he much preferred the worried, yet furious, tone the woman behind him had.

"I was just going to see--" As Zestasia went to respond to the red-haired girl, he was inturrupted by that guy with the silver hair. As it would seem, he wasnt necessarily criticizing Zestasia for what he was doing, but, as he soon found out, there was no sign of support. It wasn't like he expected any, but it was disheartening to know that nobody was going to come to his defense. His only hope was that Pagonia would, if he would hurry his up, that is.

He half-prepared himself to head back. He knew, just moments before the essential big sister type stopped him, it was a bad idea. He didn't always know when the right time was to admit he was wrong. He new it was now, however, so that's why he started to walk past the group, though something unexpected happened. Well, more accurately, something unexpected was said.

"Wait what?" Zestasia thought he heard wrong, but then he heard the redhead state her abilities. "It's really happening, huh? Fine, then I guess I should state my thing, huh?" Zestasia cleared his throat. "As if it wasn't completely obvious, I'm what you would call an Ignis Magi. It took me studying under Ignis Magi, Anatoli Solis, to know that I possessed an affinity to fire, though if we really want to get down to the finer details, I have more in common with the sun than actual fire. I use a special art of Ignis magic known as Sol Vibrante. It's a versatile one that allows me to draw in power from the sun and use it in a number of ways. I can absorb it and store it for later use. I can shoot powerful sun-based beams and streams at people. In rare instances, I can create a supernova-like thing, though that's my last resort. Additionally, I can use it to empower my fighting capabilities, though it's nowhere as powerful as my more general uses." Zestasia explained his magical capabilities, "I will say this. I am weaker in darkness and in the moonlight."

@Inkarnate Are you even surprised at this point?

When it came to the school, Kavi Salvador wasn’t necessarily a fan. And as it would turn out, they weren’t a fan of him, either. Much like other colorful characters that Kavi has had the displeasure to know: JJ, Andreas, and Santa De La Clause himself - just to name a few - Kavi was one of those guys who you either liked because you knew him before he was a bastard or you were on his list of people to torment. Let it be known that Kavi is, without a doubt, the senior class’ president - well, the class bully, that is.. Last year he was the junior’s bully and same for Sophomore and Freshman years. A lot of fights and a lot of visits to the principal's office have been fond memories for Kavi, though he does get a lot of shit from the company he hangs out with.

Basically everyone.

It wasn't that Kavi was necessarily a bad guy. To his friends of the Misfits and general miscellaneous people at King's, Kavi has the potential to be quite pleasant company. He just has this attitude about him - an edge, if you will - that makes him, for the most part, antagonistic. Whichever social circle he hangs out with or whatever person out there he chooses to spend his time with, he does let his ego and anger get in the way and sometimes that does result in some unflattering shades of his usual brownish-gray to show. At its best, he just insults. At its worse, Kavi will resort to physical violence and would likely distance himself from that group for a few days. In the meantime, he resorts to him taking his frustrations out on everyone beneath him (his own words).

As he entered the parking lot, Kavi saw a lot of familiar faces. Not all of them were necessarily bad. He saw Archer and Marisol. They seemed to be heavily in some kind of conversation, so Kavi would leave them be. Traveling elsewhere - closer to the main campus - Kavi saw the one person he not only wanted to see, but he was so delighted to know that they weren’t scared off from last year.

Kavi walked up to the “nerds”. He didn’t socialize with them all that much, but they weren’t that boring sometimes. They spoke a different language than Kavi did,so obviously he wanted to know more about them. Okay, no, that’s actually a bullshit lie. He just wanted to greet the resident Jewish boy. He approached Elijah, seeing him with that black nerd, Aly or whatever her name was. He smiled at the girl and placed his fit arm on Eli’s head. “Oh hello, there’s my favorite armrest Have a good summer?”

@Jay Kalton And like most bratty little bratty brothers, Zestasia is using the "I'm an adult" excuse.

When he felt the wind rush past his face, his golden hair flew to the back of his head due to how fast the blond teen had been running. He zipped past the trees, swung from branches to gain some height, flipping backwards as he flew through the air. Once he landed on his feet, Zestasia kept running forward, aiming to get to the source of everything that’s been happening to the area.

As he managed to get about halfway to the finish line - potentially even closer - Zestasia stopped in his tracks, skidding about three paces. He decided to look back. He didn’t know why but something told him that this really was a bad idea. The others weren’t following him like he thought (and hoped) they would. Perhaps they were being the smart ones. “Maybe I should head ba--”

He was interrupted by someone suddenly tugging at the collar of his jacket, whipping him back with such an alarming force that it had literally knocked the wind out of his body, forcing the teen to lose a breath or two. It was, as soon as he was able to catch his breath, he was able to see who the person was that had jerked him back so suddenly.

“You..” Zestasia said, coughing. He couldn’t remember her name, or if she even said who she was, but one thing that was clear to young Zestasia was that she was P-I-S-S-E-D. And that made Zestasia nervously gulp, afraid to say anything. He had never seen such a look on someone’s face before.

“I, uh..”

Get it together. Say something and it’ll be all fine.

“I’m not a boy. I’m practically a man!” Zestasia hissed back. He might’ve put on a good showing that he wasn’t afraid that it was taking everything he had not to collapse right then and there.
