Current Graduation has happened - I am no longer a teacher. Won't have to work 12 hour days + weekends anymore, so maybe I'll actually have enough time for hobbies.

I sound like a broken record, but only 2 months left till I'm done teaching. Not sure what's next, but it feels like anything would pay more and be less stressful lol

Teacher update: I feel like a villain from a cartoon. The laughter of teenagers gives me migraines, and I no longer feel guilt when giving bad grades to kids that sleep through my lessons.

Interested, will post CS later today or tommorow.
Sorry for short post, internet is still out and I'm posting from phone...

I hate power outs...
Samuel is very tired. Apparently, all the work he did during the exam tired him out a lot more than he thought. He was alerted to the sound of his name being called from Okami.

"Samuel...I was just surprised you'd do that, knew we only met recently but thought we were pals. It's okay to be honest now and tell us if you want to leave our team."

Samuel looks shocked as he hears this. What ad he done to make Okami think like that?

"Of course I do not wish to leave the team. I promised that I would help. Besides, I may not look like it, but I'm pretty useful!"

The pain that Samuel felt earlier has died down completely, and Samuel watches the girls begin to leave. It seems like they were going to have a party with Vilivyn. As he thought of this, he realized that he didn't have any money.

"I would love to take you up on that offer Okami, but I need to sell some things. Otherwise I don't think I will have a place to sleep tonight... Also, do you mind showing me a place that is willing to take camping supplies?"

Samuel looked to the young man, Alex, and talked to him.

"I know I said I would introduce you to the other members, but I need to take care of some business, and it seems like half of them already left... If you would like, you can come along with me, but I'm sure Okami wouldn't mind taking you with him to the inn."

Samuel carefully stroked the small bird's feathers. Gabriel seems to have passed out. Samuel began to wonder what the bird was even thinking. Unlike many of the others, he could not understand anything that Gabriel does or says.

"What do you guys think of that boy from earlier? He seemed to be important, but his views are very... controversial, to say the least."

Samuel smiled. Maybe he had what it takes to go through the tower. And whatever he didn't have, the others probably did.



...



Samuel is still on the first floor of the tower, but is asking Okami where he could sell some camping supplies.
I'll post sometime today, phone is the only thing I can post from so it'll take a while.
@RokkuHoshi
Interested.



If the powers are too OP, please tell me what to change.

Name: Karn

Other: Plant. Can only move via current. Capable of photosynthesis.
I would also like to join, if I'm allowed.

Will we decide the theme of our side-effects all together (Mental, physical, etc.) or does it change from player to player?

Personally, I'd like it if we made our own side-effects and PM them to you for approval.

Also, a mix of side-effect types seem good. It leaves space for joke characters, but also has room for serious guys as well.
@cloudystar
How do skills work? Is it just more a constant thing, or is it something we have to specify in the post.

Samuel wants to be nice diplomacy guy.
Samuel was nervous. Here he was, standing on a podium in front of dozens of people, several of which could kill him extremely easily, and both sides were awaiting his response. Obviously, Samuel did not approve of this harsh treatment of the spirits. They are god's creations, and they inhabited one of the locations where god's presence can be felt the most! But... this boy... he was dangerous. Samuel could tell that with a passing glance. No matter what he said, Samuel would never step on Gabriel; Gabriel is the last friend Samuel had left.

"Listen, we should all just calm down and talk about this-"

"Scum...you're flat out scum! Even worse than the bugs at Ad Vitam, and I clean that place every day. Spirits are our partners, our family, and you lot just step on them! As if, step on me too then why don't you try?! And Samuel, why are you up there? You actually want to support this guy!? Thought you were a part of our group...if you really do support him Samuel, I'm sorry but that's a jerk move, and I hate...absolutely hate people that just go against us for a bad cause."

Okami! Lord, how am I going to explain this!? Samuel began to listen to the blond boy as soon as he heard his name.

"...And you, the one that boy calls Samuel...are you really a part of his group? Tell me how pathetic that kid is, I really wish to know. All I see is someone who can kick and run like the dog he has under his command."

Samuel turned to his friend and the blond boy, and gave his response.

"I do not share his beliefs, however, I do not wish for us all to fight. We can solve this peacefully. Their is no need for useless bloodshed, even with healers on standby!"

"And no, 'that boy' is far less pathetic than I was at his age."


Samuel looked behind Okami and, thankfully, Lena was coming to help. Thank goodness. She is usually the one who is calm and collected... She'll help me sort all this out. A smile that was flashed his way and kind words nearly assured this thought in Samuel's mind, but a drawn blade quickly corrected this.

"I-I am unaware of of you or your house, However...I do know that this is not right nor good behavior. You will cease this abuse, or I will be forced to act."

Samuel was in shock. Of course he couldn't accept or relate to the blond boy's beliefs, but the way his allies turned so quickly to violence... It scared him. Is that all it took? A single insult and we become... like this? Samuel worried that this would get out of hand very soon. The young man next to him, Alex, also decided to comment.

“You’re asking me… to see the one creature that helped me the most in my life… as a tool?”

Alex quickly leaned close to him and whispered.

“There are two kinds of evil. Those who act evil and those who close their eyes to it.”

... This... Hurt. This hurt Samuel. He always thought that he was a mediator, a person who settled things civilly... Was this how people thought about him? A sharp pain rings throughout his head, and by the time he gathered his bearings, Alex had whispered something else in his ear.

Samuel sighed and looked towards the blond boy.

"As you can probably tell, I do not share your beliefs. I believe that all beings are different... but, in their own ways, equal. You will likely disagree with this view, but that is what I believe. If you would like, I am more than willing to discuss these ethical and philosophical issues over a nice cup of tea!"

"However, I must give you some advice; not as a competitor, not as a holy man, and not as an enemy. I tell you this as a man who has seen and done many things in life, not all of which were... commendable. Humility, diligence, and friendship are the keys to success."

"From what I have seen, you lack two of these things. I apologize, but these people are my allies. I pray that you find others who choose to join you."


Samuel moves to stand in front of his friends. If this kid throws a tantrum, I'll take it... Besides, I said I was the meat shield.



I am angry.

I am angry.

I am... very tired...

I knew I shouldn't... have kept guard watch over the camp.... last night....

Why did master have... to use so much energy...

...A quick nap couldn't hurt.
