Seeing actual bushfire footage looks straight out of Hell... It moves so quickly and so powerfully, literally the trees just ignite. You firefighters are absolute legends, but please, don't die.

Just you...

and me.
Welcome to my little personal den of Hell! Sorry, sorry, I meant my personal profile. Same thing, right?
I'm a roleplayer, same as any around here. I've been doing it for about five years now, coming up to six in September. Its been quite the time, thinking back. I started out fresh as can be, understanding the basics of writing but never quite knowing how to become better, or become as great as those around me. In the end, I did the only thing I really knew at the time:
Write as much garbage as possible and hope for the best!
As you can see, that particular tactic fucking failed. Jokes aside, I like to think I've developed a lot over the years, both as a writer and as a person. However, absolutely nothing can dissuade my weeaboo ways and supporting my OTP with all that I can freaking muster! If you haven't already guessed, said OTP is Chrom x Robin (Chrobin) from Fire Emblem: Awakening. Highly recommend the game, there's a reason (other than nintendo's cheapskate attitude) that it hasn't dropped in price, it's honestly the best place to start off in the series. And hey, maybe you'll end up addicted like me and want to buy every game on the 3DS like a fucking loony?
Speaking of loonies, the Fire Emblem Chrobin Comic Dub Project has recently finished, so for those of you who also appreciate the best ship in existence, I highly recommend it. Hell, even if you're not interested in that, I do highly recommend watching it for those into fantasy love stories. The quality improves drastically with each episode, so trust me when I say by the end of it you should be thoroughly impressed. It has helped motivate me in ways I can hardly describe with words, and so I thought the least I could do was put this out there. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I know it was the perfect thing for me.
"Do you think you can tip any of the scales in here?" "Chrom, for the love of Naga, I'm thinking..."
"So I heard."
"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know."
There is a universe. No-one knows it's name, where gravity wasn't strong enough to bind matter together and no stars formed. And because no stars formed, no stars exploded. And because no stars exploded, no planets came about. And because no planets came about, there was no life.
There's another universe, no one knows it's name, where gravity was strong enough and did light the stars and planets came about and boy, they were gorgeous, planets in perpetual winter, planets in perpetual summer, planets that could rival the Garden of Eden and no bloody snakes! And on one of them, eventually, complex life evolved and one of the species developed large brains learned things like manners and dabbing, when they looked up at the stars and wonder what they were doing here. You called them octopuses, I suppose. Gosh, they were clever, for octopuses, and one of them, several million years in, almost wrote something in ink on the seafloor, a message to its friend. And the message almost read: "Hi! How are you?" And a few millennia later, space folder back on itself and, you get the idea. Goodbye Octopi.
There's another universe, where life formed on every planet, in every solar system, and it was carbon-based, it was silicon based, it was made of crystals and water and plasma, it was made of quantum fields and light, and everything was alive, everything was doing a boogie, and it was everybody's birthday, everyday, relatively, and everyone got presents, and they had over a trillion languages, some written down, some only spoken, some conducted telepathically, and they bought a galactic civilization together, as a perfect unity, sharing stories, sharing technology, speaking a common tongue, understanding everything about how the cosmos been put together. And finally, when everything was sorted, the galaxies were arranged into perfect geometric formations, transmitting pure love, and wisdom, and birthday greetings to all species in the universe, for all time. Papercuts never happened, coke came in glass bottles, no one even remembered the word for war, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
And yet, for a quirk in their evolution, because resources weren't scarce enough on the planets these species developed on, not a single creature in the universe was conscious. Food was eaten and no-one enjoyed it. Movies were released, and there was no laughing, or crying. No-one chuckled at a joke. Ever. Space collapsed back on itself, eventually, and there hadn't been a single moment of sentience in the entire history of creation.
There's another universe, where the strong force is too strong the weak force is too weak and nothing forms. Another, where life develops too late when the Stars have all gone beyond the light boundary and there's nothing to even see. Another with too many dimensions. Another with not enough. Another where time goes in the opposite direction, and species begin as gods, and wind backwards to cells, and never learn to survive. Another that only lasts milliseconds, and collapses in on itself, and heads straight back to oblivion. And that's how it just might be, across all possible universes, across all possible space times. Problems with the laws of nature, not enough resources, missteps in evolution. An atlas of dead-ends.
Then again, there is one exception.
There's another universe, a big one, where life is rare, where intelligent life is very rare indeed, the stars are very distant from each other, the laws of nature are very complex, it's extremely lonely for any species developing, and most never even develop at all, but somewhere, we believe, is a planet where the oceans are vast, and the climate is varied. Where the smartest species on the planet may have developed just the right mix of ambition and kindness. And if you were to travel there, to this unbelievably rare statistical anomaly, to this impossibly lucky planet, where evolution, biology, chemistry, nae, the laws of physics themselves have come together to create sentient intelligent life, you may be able to catch the native inhabitants singing for joy. Of what an impossibly lucky, and rare position they find themselves in. It is a chant of gratitude, a ritual of showing appreciation for ending up in perhaps the one universe, in the one solar system, on the one planet with all the basic ingredients for intelligent, conscious life.
@MyCatGinger I had a feeling that was the case, hence why I was thinking about having Mokyu playing at the Arcade in case anyone was interested. :P
@KoL I once had a Shrine Maiden character that I never got to play. I think it'd be cool to have a shrine, just to add some more traditional elements to the city :P
@Delta44 "Hey! I might not be the sharpest sword in the armory, but I'm no country hick!" Connor exclaims, before slapping Riz upside the head. "Now, what were going to say, Sheil?" He asks.
"I'm just shocked that you haven't heard of my family's exploits. Then again, you are a member of one of the lesser species on this planet." She replies in a rather distinguished and insulting tone... before squeamishly lowering her head and looking rather cowardly, tucking her body close. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, please ignore me!"
"Ow! Okay, okay! I gotcha! Jeez, no need to hit me over it..." Riz says, rubbing the inflicted area tentatively. "And what's up your butt, miss? I thought Elven people were supposed to be assholes."
"I always saw elves as those kinds of people too. Guess you can't judge a book by it's cover." Tiz remarks, walking over and petting the elven girl on the head. "It's OK, no need to act all high and mighty because of some title."
Iosef then hops onto the horse, and looks at the priestess and the Jester.
"...if you guys want to come, just ask. I'll deal with the gnolls..."
"I would very much like to see the Universal Blade Earthrent in action!" Exclaims the Jester gleefully. Seems he was all for coming along. "Ooh, how much power is it worth? Just how much~? Just how much~?"
"Where will we go?" Asks the girl curiously. It seems she was willing to go along should he explain himself. He had time to if he wanted to, the Gnolls were still a ways away... though they were approaching quickly.
Name: Mokyu Mochizukki Age: 19 Height: 143cm Weight: 44kg Likes: Sweets, making music and remixes, playing games with her sister, sleeping, yaoi. Dislikes: Veggies, her brother's flirting, mean people, bugs. Party Trick: "Umm... I can eat lots and not get fat? It's kinda depressing since I can't grow, though. Ooh, I can name any retro game you throw at me, and people say I have an anime girl voice, but I don't think so." Profession: Makes remixes and "Dj's" for fun, though sometimes plays her songs at the arcade (Club LUSH scares her). Works at the Shine City Ice Rink as an instructor for newbies. Bio/Personality: The younger adopted twin born a minute after midnight of the new year, Mokyu is incredibly sweet, but also straight up flat (in terms of personality... and physicality). She's always looking so tired that it's a wonder what she does in her spare time that makes her so deadpanned. Part-English, part-Japanese, Mokyu was taken in by the Mochizukki family with her brother in their early years, and has been eternally grateful for that. Though she's only been recently made aware of the fact she's adopted, she still treats everyone as though they were her family, with all the kindness in the world.
She became interested in music and learned to play the keyboard thanks to her sister, Ryoki, and has learnt how to DJ and remix due to her own practices.
Name: Kimasu Mochizukki Age: 19 Height: 176cm (hair included) Weight: 67kg Likes: Girls, flirting with girls, complimenting girls, being around girls... yeah. Girls. Dislikes: Sausage-fests, people who take advantage of others kindness (in fact he hates it), alcohol, broccoli, people who don't try. Party Trick: "Would you believe me if I said I could steal your heart without you even knowing it? No? Well, allow me to give it a try...~" Aside from his incredible flirting, the boy is also gifted in playing the "Knife Game". Profession: Training to take over his father's company; currently unemployed. Bio/Personality: The older adopted twin born a minute before midnight of the new year, Kimasu is about as charming and outgoing as they come. With words that could infatuate a deaf person, Kimasu does his best to please the fine ladies in which he'll converse with. Part-English, part-Japanese, Kimasu was taken in by the Mochizukki family with his sister in their early years, and has found great comfort in growing up with the family. Though he is aware of being adopted, he treats the Mochizukki family like his own, and due to this is training to become the heir to the family's company.
He learned how to sweet-talk so well from "The Master", A.K.A. Ryoki, though refined his techniques all throughout high school to become a better gentleman.
@Bozo I think it'd turn into a competition of sorts for Ryoki, to see if she can beat herself at making a man like him blush in record time. But if worst comes to worst, there's always the trump card:
The eleven girl seems about ready to interject, though is silenced by one of the two twins: Riz. "Shh, he's a country hick like us! Of course he hasn't heard of you! Use some common sense!"
"You're not supposed to talk to girls like that..." Tiz remarks, clearly displeased by his twin. It seems that although they looked practically identical, their personalities were vastly different.
Aaaaaaaaand the post is up. Ah, that felt good to write, though I felt I could've done it better and made it more understandable. Even so, I think Ryoki can officially be classified as Anti-Shou XD I'm pretty sure they're almost total opposites now.
Man oh man, I'm kinda wanting to bring out otaku Ryoki now, just to torment her... Mwuhahaha~!
"Ah, hello, miss." Spoke the man beside her, the man who had caught her attention the most so far. It was like a combination of Yutaro's looks and Kaori's modest yet seemingly innocent nature (though presumably not so innocent), blended into a style of its own. The calm and calculative type - reserved most of the time, though wasn't quite quiet, if you could call it that. It was like his actions could speak louder than his words, at least that's the impression Ryoki got from him; that's what she could gather from him given a quick study. Although, progressing further with the conversation would give her the necessary details to fully get an understanding on him...
'Ugh, I really should relax... Calm down, Ryoki. You're here to have a good time, not commence an operation on how to toy with boys.' She thought to herself, showing him a genuine, relaxed smile. Something about her demeanor seems to change then, like she'd suddenly become more passive. Despite the thoughts that were racing around furiously in her mind, Ryoki kept composed on the outside, deciding on keeping things "casual" for now and elaborating on her attitude depending on how the situation progressed.
... Which, funnily enough, was progressing towards flirting again. Seeing the man's bashful reaction, Ryoki leans in closer and takes off her jumper, revealing a plain white shirt that wasn't buttoned quite to the top. 'Guess this shirt will be seeing some action tonight... Aww, look at the poor guy! He's so shy!' She muses to herself in her head, outwardly projecting her likening of his shyness by giving Shou a devious grin as well. "Well hellooooo~," she trails, resting her head against the palm of her hand, "who do we have here? I get the faintest impression we've met before." She says that, though honestly wasn't sure. There was that vague recollection of when she performed at the end of school assembly last year -- when she first met Kaori -- and saw someone similar. Even so, it didn't matter. Ryoki always lived in the present, and today was no exception!
She was about to continue, however was distracted by a cute-sounding waitress behind her. Ryoki was going to dismiss the girl as she turned to face her, however as she laid her eyes on the bunny girl...
... her heart skipped a beat...
'H-holy crap!' Her jaw dropped, and she could feel a faint tingling in her nose. 'T-that's a... a...! A BUNNY GIRL!' Ryoki was speechless for a moment. She was bewitched. It was like looking at another Kaori, but... in a freaking bunny suit!'I-I need to get myself one of those for Kaori...'
Stealing her thoughts back, Ryoki slaps her cheeks with her hands to wake herself up. 'Stop it, Ryoki, she's waiting! Argh, quit thinking up this stuff!' Once again, her mind was in a state of disarray, though her face showed no signs of it, carrying a calm and mature demeanor that gave the impression she was thinking. Though, her eyes were a little bit creepy, since she'd been staring at the poor girl the whole time. "I'll have a Long Island Iced Tea, if you have it, please. If not, I'll have vodka as it is." Ryoki answers with an easygoing smile that could alleviate any nerves, as she gently pats the waitress on the head and adjusts her bunny ears so they were just right. She was hoping to help calm the poor girl's nerves by giving her a gentle pat. "There you are! No need to feel embarrassed, honey, we're all adults here. Just focus on the task, not the environment, and you'll be fine. Don't think, just do."
It was pretty sound advice, though it was coming from someone who generally wasn't a good idea to take advice from. Even so, Ryoki hoped her maturity and motherly-like qualities would ease little Iruka's mind just a little bit. It always helped with Kaori, so she assumed it could be applied similarly here. It was strange, for someone who was so incredibly flirtatious to have a "mature side" that could help others when they needed it. Ryoki always claimed it was her superpower, though even she admitted it was pretty lame compared to other super powers. She'd much rather have the power to cause massive destruction or manipulate time like those Spirits from that one anime she loved so much. But alas, this was the real world, so this was probably about as cool as super powers came...
Once the others had ordered (or not) and the waitress went on her merry way, be it frightened or calmed, Ryoki turns back to the two men with a grin. "So, where were we? Ah, yes, introductions. My name is Ryoki Mochizukki, and I'm pretty good at blackjack." She says. Yutaro may be able to pick up the faint emphasis in her tone as she spoke - an indication she gave that, in a way, said "hello" on a level unheard. It was like she were saying: "Hi, I'm Ryoki, but you already knew that," but without actually saying it, all the while introducing herself to Shou in a proper and slightly playful manner. Though she never thought of it before, perhaps it was her incredible charisma that could be considered her superpower. The thought only just crossed her mind, and as she mulls it over, the thought of having the ability to charm everyone she met was certainly promising.
'Something tells me tonight is going to be a fun night, teehee~!'

Maybe it's not for everyone, but I know it was the perfect thing for me.<br>	<br><br>	<br>	</sub></div></th></tr></thead></table></div><br><img src="https://alynerd.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/tumblr_nvrmdwbdkf1ruyji8o1_1280.jpg?w=840" /><br><br><div class="bb-right"><font color="darkblue"><sub>"Do you think you can tip any of the scales in here?"</sub></font><br><font color="purple"><sub>"Chrom, for the love of Naga, I'm thinking..."</sub></font></div><hr class="bb-hr"><div class="table-responsive"><table class="bb-table table"><thead class="bb-thead"><tr class="bb-tr"><th class="bb-th"><font color="darkblue"><sub>"So I heard."<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	</sub></font></th><th class="bb-th"><div class="bb-center"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkvxGnlWwAEShes.jpg" /></div></th><th class="bb-th"><div class="bb-right"><sub><font color="purple">"There are better places<br>to take a nap than <br>on the ground, you know."<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	</font></sub></div></th></tr></thead></table></div><div class="hider-panel"><div class="hider-heading"><button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button" data-name="A Hymn For Goldilocks">A Hymn For Goldilocks [+]</button></div><div class="hider-body" style="display: none"><div class="bb-center"><img src="https://static.tumblr.com/b572f57912d8b5345269f9dc72e04359/yveunmd/zEwn8f4ke/tumblr_static_4fc6jqggm90kg048ok0kkw0ww_640_v2.jpg" /></div><br><br>There is a universe. No-one knows it's name, where gravity wasn't strong enough to bind matter together and no stars formed. And because no stars formed, no stars exploded. And because no stars exploded, no planets came about. And because no planets came about, there was no life.<br><br>There's another universe, no one knows it's name, where gravity was strong enough and did light the stars and planets came about and boy, they were gorgeous, planets in perpetual winter, planets in perpetual summer, planets that could rival the Garden of Eden and no bloody snakes! And on one of them, eventually, complex life evolved and one of the species developed large brains learned things like manners and dabbing, when they looked up at the stars and wonder what they were doing here. You called them octopuses, I suppose. Gosh, they were clever, for octopuses, and one of them, several million years in, almost wrote something in ink on the seafloor, a message to its friend. And the message almost read: "Hi! How are you?" And a few millennia later, space folder back on itself and, you get the idea. <br>Goodbye Octopi.<br><br>There's another universe, where life formed on every planet, in every solar system, and it was carbon-based, it was silicon based, it was made of crystals and water and plasma, it was made of quantum fields and light, and everything was alive, everything was doing a boogie, and it was everybody's birthday, everyday, relatively, and everyone got presents, and they had over a trillion languages, some written down, some only spoken, some conducted telepathically, and they bought a galactic civilization together, as a perfect unity, sharing stories, sharing technology, speaking a common tongue, understanding everything about how the cosmos been put together. And finally, when everything was sorted, the galaxies were arranged into perfect geometric formations, transmitting pure love, and wisdom, and birthday greetings to all species in the universe, for all time. Papercuts never happened, coke came in glass bottles, no one even remembered the word for war, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. <br><br>And yet, for a quirk in their evolution, because resources weren't scarce enough on the planets these species developed on, not a single creature in the universe was conscious. Food was eaten and no-one enjoyed it. Movies were released, and there was no laughing, or crying. No-one chuckled at a joke. Ever.<br>Space collapsed back on itself, eventually, and there hadn't been a single moment of sentience in the entire history of creation.<br><br>There's another universe, where the strong force is too strong the weak force is too weak and nothing forms.<br>Another, where life develops too late when the Stars have all gone beyond the light boundary and there's nothing to even see. <br>Another with too many dimensions.<br>Another with not enough.<br>Another where time goes in the opposite direction, and species begin as gods, and wind backwards to cells, and never learn<br>to survive.<br>Another that only lasts milliseconds, and collapses in on itself, and heads straight back to oblivion.<br>And that's how it just might be, across all possible universes, across all possible space times. Problems with the laws of nature, not enough resources, missteps in evolution.<br>An atlas of dead-ends.<br><br>Then again, there is one exception.<br><br>There's another universe, a big one, where life is rare, where intelligent life is very rare indeed, the stars are very distant from each other, the laws of nature are very complex, it's extremely lonely for any species developing, and most never even develop at all, but somewhere, we believe, is a planet where the oceans are vast, and the climate is varied. Where the smartest species on the planet may have developed just the right mix of ambition and kindness.<br>And if you were to travel there, to this unbelievably rare statistical anomaly, to this impossibly lucky planet, where evolution, biology, chemistry, nae, the laws of physics themselves have come together to create sentient intelligent life, you may be able to catch the native inhabitants singing for joy. Of what an impossibly lucky, and rare position they find themselves in. <br>It is a chant of gratitude, a ritual of showing appreciation for ending up in perhaps the one universe, in the one solar system, on the one planet with all the basic ingredients for intelligent, conscious life.<br><br>~Exurb1a</div></div></div>
