Kim & Family Fact: In the Appleberry/Faye household, Michaela has the highest cooking skills; Clair, while not a bad cook, is better at baking; Kimberly is a moderate cook; the one time Ghost “cooked” something (popped popcorn in a microwave) he managed to burn half the popcorn while simultaneously leaving the remaining kernel unpopped; and the food that Nancy made was legendary: her cooking was so bad that it was thought that it could decimate entire populations. Luckily, the military did not discover the potential of Nancy’s cooking as a weapon.

Edit: The part about the popcorn is based on what really happened to me. I still have no idea how I did it... I just put the popcorn bag into the microwave and followed the instructions, but I still burnt half the popcorn and left the other half unpopped... twice, in two different microwaves. It's a talent :)

Unfortunately, no.

Prisk said Save your facts in your character sheets, people! I love to read them (over and over again), but it can get quite tedious to scroll through all previous posts. So far, only me and Rockette have random facts in our sheets.Also... I have to study for a resit on the 20th, which is boring as hell. I'll still be here and stuff, just have to share my pain, because it's.. horrible.

...*Looks at past post*

Prisk said It would be nice if we could add our random facts to our character sheets—optional of course—so that we can easily backtrack and do check-ups.

The “optional” part may have to do with the lack of random facts on the CSs.

Also, good luck on your studies!

Rockette said Knowing Julian's rather sadistic nature, he might like an impromptu spanking from the doctor, o;

Dr. Perth: *Stops slapping the air*… Damn it. What’s the point if he likes it?
Dr. Ramirez:….! I know! *Straps Julian down in a chair and gives Dr. Perth a dummy that has Julian’s picture on it* Now spank it!
Dr. Perth: What?
Dr. Ramirez: Spank the dummy in front of Julian! Torture him with the prospect of a good spanking!
Dr. Perth: …
Dr. Ramirez: No? We can tickle him instead! Oh, oh! How about we force him to watch obnoxiously sappy and happy movies for an entire week? A family movie… A chick flick marathon maybe? Or let's dress him in drag and post it on the internet!
Dr. Perth: … (Why do I think Haziq is forgetting that Julian is his senior?)

Rockette said I need to finish his character sheet so he's more official and real in the story... I just keep putting it off.Ghost and Mags can totally gush over sweets together, it'll happen.

Can't wait to learn more about Julian :) Ghost and Mags will gush over sweets together... someday.

Oh, also PMed you with some questions.

Discovered that onion ice cubes was an actual thing.


@Rockette: Ah Julian… you are a sadistic psychotic spoiled child. Though, he may want to be careful with Dr. Perth. She will not take his abuse ;)

Dr. Ramirez: Athene, what are you doing?
Dr. Perth: *Slapping the air* Practicing.
Dr. Ramirez: …for what?
Dr. Perth: For when I need to smack someone’s, not saying who's, bottom for being a very bad, bad boy.
Dr. Ramirez: ????

Kim and Family Fact: There are very few things in the world that Kimberly doesn’t like to eat (most likely due to the wide range of animal spirit’s tastes), the very few being Sweet Dreams’ products. Sweet Dreams is a company notorious for it’s bizarre candy, which Nancy absolutely loved, including Balut ’n Cream with Licorice flavored lollipops.

Ghost, on the other hand, doesn’t like really spicy foods or bitter tasting things, but has an extreme sweet tooth. If he had his way, Ghost would eat cake for breakfast, chocolate for lunch, ice-cream for dinner, and wash everything down with honey.

Busy day for me. I have a feeling I’ll be busy tomorrow too, so I posted a short one.

The Spirits Within

-----Battle II-----
“What’s this…? There’s no room for this…, Kim. That man dies before we move…,” Olivia pointed her Gunblade at the soldier’s neck. “It’s not our job to take prisoners… so, either you do it or I do it”

Kimberly pushed Olivia away from Storm Guard Delta, picked up the unconscious body, and held it close to his body. The giant shook his head feverishly. “Who said… it can’t be? No one… forbids us… from… taking prisoners. Why… why can’t we… take prisoners?” The bear hug around the Nautilus soldier tightened more. “I thought you… wanted to fight… xenomorphs… not slaughter people…” Kimberly stared right into his Captain’s cold gaze. She changed.

---

---Norton City---
Kimberly’s sensitive ears heard Olivia scolding him even with the distance between them. “What’s wrong with you?! Do you even know what you just said? How do you get off calling someone’s friend a ‘useless dead carcass’?”

Kimberly froze for a second. Several thoughts came to him at once. He had many questions, but only one thought stood out from the rest.

Olive cares more about dead bodies than an actual person’s life?

Something inside Kimberly twisted its shape, turning into something dark and ugly. The animal spirits inside him were unsettled.

Kimberly whispered, “their spirits... moved on… there’s nothing left... in a dead body.” He wasn’t sure if Olivia or the bawling soldier heard him. He wasn’t sure if they would have cared.

She cares more about a dead body… than a person’s life.

Ghost burst out laughing. The hysterical laughter continued to ring in Kimberly’s ears as he worked on the other soldiers. It only eventually died out when WARG began their decent into the sewers.

---

-----Norton City: Sewers-----
The Norton City’s sewers emulated Kimberly’s mood perfectly. It was dark, gloomy, cramped, noisy, hard to breathe, and filled with a Kami awful smell that seeped into Kimberly’s helmet. It was difficult to imagine that people could work in such an environment.

I don’t know how Mr. Rose managed to clean sewers for a living.
“Obviously he didn’t have much of a choice in the matter did he?” Ghost flew over the contaminated wastewater. “Hey, maybe Nancy’s dad is floating around here somewhere!”
I honestly doubt it.

As the group continued their journey through the narrow sewers, Kimberly became increasing distracted by an unusual noise. He wasn’t quite sure what it was, especially with the loud ruckus above him. He could have ---should have--- brought it to his Captain’s attention, but he didn’t. His sensitive hearing always picked up things that could be ignored. It was possible that he was just hearing the heated battle occurring above ground. The past few conversations with Olivia also made the giant reluctant to talk to his Captain.

He should have warned the team, regardless. They may not have been able to dodge the tail swipe, but if Kimberly had warned them ahead of time, the group may have been prepared for the hideous aquatic creature.

---

---- Boss Fight I----
Kimberly was the last person and thing to get hit by the wave of sewage and the aquatic xenomorph’s tail. He half expected himself to be flung across the confined area, but even to his surprise, Kimberly had grabbed onto the monster’s tail, feet firmly planted to the ground. He could feel the earth spirits holding onto his feet, helping their host stay where he stood. After mentally thanking the spirits, the arms around the tail held onto it with renewed strength. The giant did his best to keep the gargantuan fish-like-amphibian’s wild thrashing to a minimum, hoping that it would give his friends enough time to recover.

Summary

• Kimberly manages to grab onto Boss’s tail and keeps it from attacking the others immediately, hopefully giving enough time for the teammates to recover from Tail Swipe

The Spirits Within

@Rockette: And anyone who had a crush on Samuel.

Edit: Also, what in the world did Dr. Perth do to Julian to be on his hit (?) list?

Dr. Perth: It probably has to do with the time I told him he was an overgrown spoiled child who really needs to grow up, because his "tantrums" are quite annoying.

...Ah.

Archangel89 said Well since Ghost is just an extension of Kim I assume that Fuzzy would take on the mental aspect of Ghostand fight since Ghost is really just an extension of Fuzzy.....O.o I think Ijust confused myself

*Zooms in*

Archangel89 said Ghost is just an extension of Kim

......*Smirks*

The Spirits Within

Wow… I guess a lot of people are looking forward for the supernatural teen drama...

Archangel89 said *looks to JJ*You and me...lets take this outside...for Maggies honor, a duel to the death. What say you XD

You and me? Oh, then obviously you already won! I only have maximum of 1 HP: an insult will easily defeat me.

Actually... how does one fight a person who (almost) everyone doesn't acknowledge? I guess Aaron could beat up Kim instead if he ever wants to duel Ghost. I will say that Aaron does have a great advantage over Ghost though: he can talk and touch Mag whenever he wants!

@Tenish the Mighty: Considering this music quiz is called Boromir Music Minute, I assumed the songs all played when enemies defeat the characters.

Hmm… “dreaming of you”… “dreaming of you”… uh… any of the characters who has (or had) an unrequited crush on someone else.

The Spirits Within

@Instabile: Glad to hear that you’re (will be?) okay!

@Archangel89: Kimberly won’t be a problem… it’s his roommate that might be >:)
Ghost:

And while I'm at it, Kim Fact: Kimberly actually wanted an occupation in either the medical or science field.

Edit: @Tenish the Mighty: Why do you torture me so? *Hours of guessing later* ... The song sounds like it can match anyone...
