Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-21 16:44:39 (edited 2008-07-15 18:15:30)

A strong gust of wind blew threw the small town of Lorraine. Flowers were ruffled, flyer's flew, and the frail elderly braced themselves to avoid toppling over. Sophie had just finished gathering up the last of the leaves when they were all scattered by the unexpected gust. Ignoring her work being ruined, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the sweet scent of the wind. If only she could freeze time at a moment like this. Not likely though, there was so much to do. She opened her eyes and frowned at the mess before her. With a sigh, she began to gather up the leaves for a second time. With only five days before the Autumn Festivals, everyone was busily engaged in preparation. Most were finally getting around to decorating homes, finishing up late spring cleaning, creating costumes and jewelry for the celebrations and trying to catch a breath in all the excitement. The air was stirring with an anticipation that slowly grew as the days passed. With Sophie, the air stirred with frustration at not being able to finish her chores. The leaves taunted her as they delicately floated back to the ground. Sophie growled at them. She gripped the broom tightly and her eyes narrowed. Suddenly, every single leaf within sight disintegrated. The air picked up in time to spread the ashes. Sophie smiled at her chore being finished. Now she didn't even have to gather the leaves into a wagon to be thrown away. She leaned the broom against a tree and headed towards the village square. At the center of this I shaped village, some of the best carvers were working on the customary sacrificial idol. A large wooden statue of a gorgeous man, that is set on fire as a sacrifice to the goddess of Listaya lake. This was all worked on behind large curtains, seeing as it was a great sign of disrespect to see it anytime earlier then when he is burned. Sophie heard the carvers working away and whispering softly to each other. She wondered what the idol was going to look like this year. The town square is the most populated part of Lorraine. Most of the shops are gathered in the general area as well as the home of the mayor, the church and the school. To the north was the church, the south was mainly for shopping, to the west was the home of the village's mayor and across from it was the only school in the village. To get to any other part of the small town you almost always crossed through the square. "Oh crap its Sophie! Run before she sets us on fire!" Loud laughter followed. Sophie didn't even honor them with a glance. Annoying boys. Onward she went. In the village or Lorraine, Magic isn't widely accepted. In fact, Sophie was the first to come out with strange abilities. Her unusual talent with fire. This resulted in being picked on and becoming something of an outcast. Though, Sophie being herself, never lets others get her down, and she respects all, even those who disrespect her. Sophie headed towards the bakery to pick up something sweet for lunch. She smiled enjoying the hustle and bustle of the square. Everyone was so preoccupied with themselves and getting things done. Just as Sophie looked up, the sky was beginning to darken. A drop of rain caught her on the cheek. Now rain too? What a day. Quickening her pace towards the bakery, she noted that others in the square were heading inside to avoid the rain. Must be a storm coming. She debated running home rather then treating herself to something sweet. She choose the sweet, her mother would no doubt load her up with more unwanted chores. Pausing before the Bakery's glass door, the reflection showed a deserted town, oddly though, there were odd splotches of red everywhere. Sophie turned around and saw nothing. "Must be the sun doing that." She mumbled to herself. Looking back at the door's reflection, she saw herself. A light skinned girl, freckled, with dark blue eyes, in a pale yellow baby-doll dress. It had been a gift from her mother. Her hair was a mess of dark brown curls, shoulder-length, inherited from her father. She rolled her eyes at herself, and walked into the bakery. She was assaulted by the sweet smell of cakes and pastries. A mini-heaven for Sophie. She immediately walked up to the counter and began browsing for something to satisfy her hunger.

OOC: ah.. the novel type... it's been a while...brings back memories ^^ i definitely join this ______________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then the same boring day as ever, being scolded for not baking the bread right, being sent away to do chores, being told that what a lousy bakery son he is. What of it he thought, i like cooking not baking. in secrecy he been training to use fire and knife and pot and pan, but in the surface he's been doing only pounding every dough that his father told him to do. He remember what his father said that it's almost time for the festival, and that we have to prepare for the crowd. Then he was told to pound those dough to perfection and remember boy, do it with correctness and feeling, while he remembering his father words. Well duh, what was he doing all this time, i would like just to cut this to tiny pieces thank you, as he was hoping for the impossible to happen. Here he was, again, standing in the kitchen, facing himself against the dough. He inhaled slowing then exhaled, and with serious look on his face he pound the dough with incredible speed, just like the cutting he mastered, his father has change the table into iron and brick based and solidified it with cement and others, well this probably because what he's done before. To cut the story short, it was when he believe he's mastered the technique of cutting, and getting bored just to pound the dough like old same baker, so he use his hand just like he use knife. it was well at first, but just as the excitement get into climax, the table broke, but in half, or rather broke in half. His father yelled at him and punish him, plus full week detention doing chores like a donkey. yet despite that new table being purchase the next day. but then he broke it again, this time just his usual pounding, seeing that his father and order a stone table plus brick and metal layer on top. Sure it cost much more but this time the table won't budge a inch with his way of pounding. His father came and told him to mind the shop. Well it's just perfect because he cannot do anything but pounding in this bakery house, he lame at making bread. But you see, he's an excellent chef. Unknown to his father, during his free time aka holiday, he goes to other village just to enter cooking contest. Well sometime his father would have wondered why his boy randomly pick his day off at the shop and satisfied by the answered that maybe the boy has his own problem that need to take care off. "you're done key?? go to the counter and help your mother" "yes dad" He took off his glove and apron, wash his hand and face. then he walked trough the door that would lead to the shop. There he saw his mom talking to a customer "key, you finished? put those apron and hat" said his mom seeing him entering the shop counter The apron is different, the apron on the counter has the symbol of the shop in it. So he wore them and tied it up, he walked up front and wait to greet the next customer coming. the door swung over and this girl come up to the counter and start browsing "hey there sophie, another sweet again? you know i could cook something for you" said key

This looks like a very fun rp... this can help get some creative writing practice X3 join! joins! (I'll have 2 OCs; brother and his little sister ^^) --------------------------- A strong gust of wind blew from the far distance. The wind swept through Sayuri's long black hair and flew away the flower she has gathered in the forest. Sayuri quickly tried to pick up what she can. She walked home, she lived in the forest next to Lorraine with her brother Haru. Sayuri is a 11 year old girl and works as a flower girl, which she also enjoys, while her brother is a 16 years old, and works with odd jobs around town. Sayuri has a frail figure, with straight long black hair, and always wears mini skirts. Haru has a normal figure, and has straight short brown hair, with amber eyes he shares with his sister. They both make a living for themselves and lives in the outskirts of Lorraine. Sayuri rushes of to the town to go and deliver the flowers she gathered for the day to some of the villagers who would buy from her. After selling all her flowers she decides to buy dinner first, then return to get more flowers. She was on her way to the market when the rain started to pour. She only had her basket to shield her from the rain, she rushes off to the nearby bakery for some shade. Her white plain sun dress didn't get went fortunately, but she was panting frantically from the running she's no used to. There on the bakery she sees many cakes and treats she would love to try but couldn't. She sits quietly on the waiting bench waiting for the rain to stop. She stares at the girl on the counter, she was searching through the selection. She doesn't know any of the village people or anything about it so she doesn't know anyone. "Lucky her, she gets to buy stuff like that..." she says to herself.

Re: Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-22 05:05:52

Ill be joining as well.This looks interesting XD ________________________________________________________ A merchant caravan was traveling the road to the town of Lorraine.On the back most back part of the caravan a man with silver hair and red eyes sat sleeping covered with a black cloak. A gentle breeze suddenly came and he opened his eyes. "Hmp..Still not there.." he said as he looked at the man that was driving. "Well,you could at least help with the caravan." the driver said to him. "Dont want too." he answered as he stood up and the cloak covered his body. "Or you could at least tell me what it is you got hidden in that cloak of yours." the driver said as he looked at the stranger.He merely looked back at the driver. "erm..Ok ok...I get it..." the Driver said as he looked back on the road "At least a na~?" said the driver as he looked back but the man was gone.He was shocked as he looked around the back but suddenly a voice came from the roof of the couch that he was driving "Kenji." said the voice.The driver smiled. "Kenji-san then..Nice to meet you." the Driver said "Same here." Kenji said as the wind blew in his face once more.

Re: Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-22 06:26:16 (edited 2008-05-02 09:15:03)

What had felt like hours, but in reality only lasted minutes, was finally over. Sophie had made a decision. Despite her array of choices, she overcame the odds, and amazingly, picked only one. Sophie's eyes sparkled with the sense of accomplishment, only she could feel, from making up her mind. Even with an assortment of strudels, cakes, donuts, pastries, swirls and crepes, all coming in a variety of flavors, most freshly made and still oven warm, and with the three-for-one special! Gosh, Gluttony vs. Sophie, Zero-to-One. Hearing a familiar voice she looked up. "Oh Key, Hey." She smiled sweetly at the Baker's son, "I know you can cook Key! But your father's apple swirls are just amazing. I'll have one please." As she headed to pay, she secretly wondered if Key was simply nice because his father would punish him, or if he was truly a friend. Very few boys treated Sophie kindly due to her 'freaky powers' as they say. A loud crash of thunder interrupted her thoughts and practically stopped her heart. She looked out at the square, now deserted and nearly pitch black. The rain poured like a waterfall, occasionally lit by lightning. Sophie never had great experiences with storms like these. She was slightly scared. She knew her fear was irrational though, she was safe inside. She zoned out in worry. I hope moms ok. How about the house... so many leaks... I knew we should have fixed them yesterday... Aw crap I left the laundry out! ]Key![I have no idea what Key looks like :[ Please incorporate that into your next post? Aside from that, your character description rocks :D Can I also safely assume english isn't your first language? ;] Thanks for joining<3 ][ ]darky![What happened to their parents? How does this change their outlook and interactions with others? Have they always lived near the village? Why not in the village? Those are the types of questions I think of when creatively writing, just trying to help ;] Is english also not your first language? Thank-you for joining:] ][ ]Kenji![Thanks for joining, in future posts, would you mind being a bit more descriptive? Please and thank you. Your character seems hella cool in a scary way :o! I like. ][

Re: Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-22 07:08:46 (edited 2008-04-23 03:34:48)

[ooc:@ilustt yup, english isn't my first language ^^, my english is still rough and need more polish, esp. the grammars part ^^] [ooc:@darky do the sibling separate right now??? sayuri in the bakery and haru on a smal shed near the windmill] He was disappointed but still do as he told, he wrapped the apple swirl and gave it to sophie. He likes to cook, frantically pretty much enthusiast by it. He would like to cook for other people, the more the merrier, that would be nice he thought. But truly the one that really make him happy is the one when he cook for someone dear to him and that someone replied back with smile and gratefulness....... he wondered when would he meet someone like that... But right now he didn't feel like doing the store chore, his mind is not there and it would be a waste of time forcing it. So he told his mom that he's going to take a break, then he grab some bread and pastries form the shop. He always do this when he takes a break. It more convenient than to cook. He put down his apron and hat, go over the counter and walked toward the bench where this little girl were sitting. He had noticed the girl before, she stared at the bread and pastries that were displayed in the counter. "what's your name little girl??" asked key without even cared for answer he continue talking while staring at the rain through the window. His look wandered off somewhere, far. Guess it was life is stranded in a place without knowing what on the other side. "ups, sorry there little girl, feel free to eat the bread i brought, on the house, just feel like doing some kindness today" he indeed took the bread for break time, but he barely touch the bread he brought. He still looking at the window, seeing the water coming down from the sky, the heaven. His black hair turn white when the lighting strike down and his black eyes reflected the light. He lean back to comfort himself. "you now I've seen you around, you were selling flower right, do you have one right now?? the one that smell that would help me relax, herbs, do you have it??" he thought about making herb tea or cook some herb tonight but for the relax part, this accompaniment really help him to relax. He at last grab a bun, his finger were decorate by small but apparent scar, the kind of scar that you get when chopping something, the scar by knife. Cut that become a scar. He had normal body size, not to big but not also small. And of course not slender, he is more muscle type, training with pan, and punching dough surely not a priceless effort, doing that over and over had build up his muscles. But it all under his cloth, no one would notice until someone touch his body.

[Removed mister XD] [merged post above to this] [Fixed problematic part..] ----------------------------- Sayuri silently stares at the view of the village from the window. She yawns and grabs a soft throw pillow bedside her, she embraces the pillow. The rain pours on, Sayuri's brother, Haru sits and waits for the rain to stop in side the windmill shed in the town. He and Sayuri have been alone since he was 6 and Sayuri was 1, that was 10 years ago. Their parents were traveling merchants, his mother has magical abilities that she uses to prepare raw materials they use to make the wares they sell. Their father was an ordinary man, who just wanted to make his family happy. They settled on the outskirts of Lorraine in the forest where natural resources are easy to find. Sayuri and Haru were merely just children then. Their happy days soon came to an end when traveling rouges found their residence.In order to protect their merchandise, and most importantly their family, Their parents tried to fight of the rouges, but the enemy was simply outmatched them. Their mother gave them some luggage and orders them to escape from the place, but at first Haru refuses but in the end they were forced to leave the place and after 2 days Haru with his little sister returns back to their residence to see it completely empty. They have no knowledge of their parents, or anything. All they have is the luggage that contain necessities for a month Haru decides from then on that it is his responsibility to give a happy life to his little sister. Sayuri has no recollection of the events, Haru just tells her that they went out to see the world, and would come back soon. Haru has made quite a name in the town as a handy man, and can repair many things. He does many other odd jobs like delivering love letters, doing grocery work, and cleaning chimneys. Sayuri in the other hand, just likes to play around the forest and never really played with children of her own age. She sells flowers that she gather. Though she is well known to be the flower girl nobody really thought more of her than that. Haru has also noticed that recently that he would see a phenomenon that flower petals glow and circle around Sayri, but he just considers this his imagination. He even asked Sayuri one time, but she doesn't know anything about it. The rain continues to pour down as both siblings wait for the rain to stop so they could get home. Sayuri still sits quietly on the bench,and continues staring at the counter in front of her. The man who sells the bread came out of the the counter. "Maybe for a break?" Sayuri thought. He approaches Sayuri. "what's your name little girl??" he asked. "It's..." but before she could say it he says, "ups, sorry there little girl, feel free to eat the bread i brought, on the house, just feel like doing some kindness today". Sayuri takes the bread that the man gave her and takes a bite on it. As she chews on the delicious bread the man asked, "you now I've seen you around, you were selling flower right, do you have one right now?? the one that smell that would help me relax, herbs, do you have it??". "Flower that relaxes like herbs? Maybe like the ones brother uses...but these are for later..I could some more I guess..." she thought as she looks at the flowers in her basket. "Umm.." She gets a couple of flowers that had ripped petals in it, "Do you think this is what you are looking for?" She shows him the flowers, "I don't know how much to sell these... well you can have it free for the yummy bread you gave me, mister" she then gave out a big smile.

Re: Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-23 06:04:53

As the carriage reached the town Kenji bade farewell to the people who helped him get there.It was raining hard by the time they reached the town. "Sure you'll be Alright?" said the couch man he was riding with "Yes..Dont worry about me..As they say Idiots dont get sick." Kenji said as he pulled a hood over his head. They both laughed and he got off and made his way into the town. "Now where to stay for the night.." Kenji said as he pulled out a bag containing his only gold. "This storm looks like it isnt going to let up soon..." Kenji said as he put the bag in and looked around for shelter.He saw an abandoned store and he got in. "Excuse me for intruding..." Kenji said as he pushed the door slowly and saw it was an old bar. "Hmp..This'll do for now then.." Kenji said as he removed his cloak Under his cloak was hidden the two most prized swords.Both of which were strapped on his left side. "Hope you guys dont rust..." Kenji said as he put the two swords on the table and he pushed out of his eyes. "Now then..to get dry and warm.." he said as he pulled on sword out and started to cut the wooden things inside the tavern to get some firewood. "Now..Where to get a flint.." he said as he looked at the wood infront of him.

Re: Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-23 12:42:18 (edited 2008-04-23 18:56:13)

Sophie looked over at the two, Key and the really cute little girl with long hair. It reminded her of the loneliness she felt at home, being an only child and all. Shrugging it off, she noticed the rain was beginning to soften. The lightning and thunder had passed and all that remained was a slight drizzle. Feeling slightly insecure because the two talked so easily, she waved goodbye to key and headed into the rain. No one her age ever really talked to her. She was a freak. An outcast. 'Hey witch of fire' one of the boys once yelled to her. Shrug it off. It's what she taught herself to do. She made friends with either the elderly, or the toddlers of the village. Bitter sweet friendships. The town square still remained deserted. Sophie walked leisurely not at all minding the fact that she was getting soaked. Her yellow dress outlined her frame, and her dark curls were a complete mess. She broke off a piece of her apple swirl and savored it's sweet flavor. Suddenly she heard screaming, like cries of agony behind her. She quickly turned around but saw nothing. Her eyes narrowed in wonder. "Strange..." She muttered to herself. Beginning to take another bite of her swirl, while pondering what she heard, she completely missed and dropped it onto the soaked ground. She stared at it. Bursting into laughter, she couldn't help it, her complete miss was priceless. Off towards the east, she walked home.

Re: Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-23 18:49:48

[truly this getting interesting ^^] key waved back at sophie, and followed her with his eyes until she disappeared walking to the east. Key sighed but soon he's back to reality. the girl had offered him flowers, and called him mister, she called him mister. Key laugh hard, so hard that he bent his body forward, now all the people in the room stared at him, including his mom. "mister... mister... you called me mister..." key chuckled as he speak, but then he put his hand on his mouth trying to silence his laughing. He is now making sound like a pot of boiling water "pft... pft... pft..." after a while he stopped and leaned back. "that was good, that was really good, lil' girl, you know i'm not even twenty, well sorta almost, but still" he paused again chuckled again and with small voice repeated the word "mister" again. "well lil' girl what you're name?? sorry if i wasn't paying attention before, got little something on my mind, but you really help me out there, calling me mister. it's like i have to stop worry for anything because it makes you like an old guy" he chuckled again, his laughing nerve must be hit hard, he couldn't stop laughing, though he can suppress it. He looked at the flowers that been offered, he thought for a second and smiled widely. "well then lil' girl, could you wait for a moment, my throat is dry from all the laughing, i will make herb tea for both of us, it will do you warm. and we could talk some more, by the way the names key, you could call me key, or oni-chan if you like" he took the flowers from the girl hand and goes to back to brew some tea.

Re: Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-24 02:32:37

[Akihiko read the rules, pm to join] --------------------- The girl who just bought some pastries waved goodbye in her direction, Sayuri responds to her and waved back. The girl leaves. Then her view comes back to the man, and repeats what she said "So mister.." but before she could continue, the man suddenly bursts into laughter. Sayuri is frozen in shock of the man's strange reaction, to being called "mister". He asks again for her name, she tries to reply but he is still preoccupied by himself. He gets the flowers she offers to make some tea for the both of them. "..by the way the names key" he said. "You can call me key, or oni-chan if you like" he continues, as he walks away. Sayuri stands up. "Hey! I'm not "lil' girl". My name's Sayuri~! got that?" she shouted to Key. She then returns back to her seat with an angry look on her face, but after a few seconds she smiles and giggles.

Re: Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-24 05:42:49 (edited 2008-04-24 05:46:07)

A burning smell in the distance.The sky was orange and there were screams about.Metal clanged against each other.The bows sang their war song.But amidst this, the church in the middle was still peaceful. The friars kept the doors barred and what little force was left to safe guard the church was already engaging the enemy outside. "Father! Get them to safety!" said a man ran inside with a bloody sword. The priest just nodded and escorted the women and children to a door at the back of the altar.As they reached the door,it slowly opened.The priest that opened the door was cut in two as a sword came swinging down upon him. A man in black armor then came out.His sword crimson with the blood of innocence. "Going somewhere,Heretics?" said the man that had cut down the priest. "Kill them all."said a man who appeared to be the captain in the back to his knights at the back "This is for the crime they have committed.The King has ordered their execution." he said this more to the people in the church rather than his knights. The knights then drew their swords and ran towards the people inside the church. Suddenly Kenji awoke drenched in his own sweat.A few Tears flowing down his face. "W-what was that.." Kenji said as he looked at the pile of wood infront of him. He remembered that he was looking for an object that will light a fire for him but he gave it up.He just sat there drenched and cold.He didnt notice he had fallen asleep. "Amnesia eh..." Kenji said to himself as he stood up and strapped his sword to his waist. "Heh..The truth is I travel around the world looking for people who might know who I am..."Kenji thought as he remembered what the Couch man had asked him. "Well..The rain has passed then.Time to get dry.And time to find somebody to ask some directions...Its no use to ponder on such things without even knowing ones self.." Kenji said as he went out and stretched his arms.He then decided it was time to look for someone to help him get out of his predicament. He walked for sometime and he saw a girl(Sophie).She was alone and appeared to have had a good laugh. "Great..First person I see is a girl..And alone no less..I'll be lucky is she did think of me as a stalker or something.." he thought as he mustered up the courage to talk to her. As she approached Kenji put on his cloak at covered his body,pulled the hood up and walked towards the girl. "Excuse me..Can you spare a few words with me?" Kenji said as he smiled at the girl,waiting for her reply. _______________________________________________________________ ooc: Long post..XD @ilustt-Hope you dont mind me putting something not in your plot.Ill rewrite it if you want me to. Anyway..Light(Akihiko)..I knew you'd find this RP interesting too XD.. We really are Cousins XD

Re: Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-24 07:53:57 (edited 2008-05-02 09:15:38)

“Excuse me..Can you spare a few words with me?” Sophie suddenly stopped, caught off guard, she instinctively stepped back. His words weren’t expected and neither was he. She didn’t even notice the man considering she had been staring at the state of her sandaled feet. Covered in mud, she would certainly be in trouble when she finally reached her home. She was too busy imagining the her mother’s temper when he disturbed her train of thought. She wore a blank expression, taking in his smile and his attire. A stranger no doubt, so he probably had no clue about Sophie and her strange powers. Excellent, time to practice her conversational skills. “Certainly. What do you need?" She blushed internally. Trying to control her shivering, she put on her game face and kept her eyes on his. She had no fear of strangers considering she was one to herself. Though, she didn’t like the state she was meeting one in, soaked to the bone. Oh well, one can’t control these things, she thought to herself. She awaited his reply and hoped her mother would be more worried then upset when she returned home. @Kenji-Nope it's totally a ok with me, I'm curious to see where it goes =] @Akihiko-Uhm, you should have read the rule ! But I guess its ok. Your welcome to post after kenji the next time his turn comes around. That is, if your still interested.

Re: Sheltered Link | by on 2008-04-24 10:25:44 (edited 2008-04-24 10:29:39)

As key went to the kitchen she heard the girl yelled her name, he smiled and continued walking to the kitchen at the back of the store. His mom followed him with her eyes until he vanished from the sight as he passed through the door. She thought of something but then keep it to herself. Soon the atmosphere in the store were back to normal. "what are you doing here?" asked his father when he saw key enter the kitchen. "just making some tea" said key normally. He was ready for his father preaching but this time he guess wrong. His father said nothing. So he goes to fill the kettle with water. Then he boiled the water. After the water boiled he then brewed tea and the flower in the kettle. After a minute he poured the tea to two cup, then he brought both cup to the store and gave them to sayuri. "here you go miss sayuri" as he gave her a cup of tea, but then he chuckled, humor by his own saying. He sat beside her and sipped his tea, it was really delicious that he surprise himself, what would make this kind of taste he though, is it the flower. Regardless the tea really help him relax. Before it was raining outside and the weather getting cold, now when the rain had become drizzled the cold humid weather stayed. But his body is warm, because of the tea. But then his mind wondered again, how was sophie doing right now? she had left when the rain still pouring, he hope that she got home pretty quick and had warmth up herself.

Key returns with the tea he brewed. "Here you go miss Sayuri" He said as he gave a cup of tea to Sayuri. They took sips of their tea. Sayuri always loved this tea, her brother always brews her one before she goes to sleep. She blew on her tea because it is a bit too hot for her, Haru usually mixes it with lukewarm water to make it cooler, but still pretty warm. She then stares again to the window, and notices the rain had finally stopped. She was having such a good time, until she remembers she has to go home to prepare dinner. "umm.. Key-onii-chan? I have to go now, I still have some chores to finish." she says to Key who is sitting next to her. She finishes up her cup of tea, and stands up, and runs to the entrance of the bakery. "Key-oni-chan, thank you for the bread and the tea, I'll make sure to drop by again next time." and then she smiles and leaves the bakery. She quickly ran to the marketplace. Her hair gets messed up as she runs further. She reaches the marketplace and buys ingredients she needs to make tonight's supper. She quickly runs back home with a basket full of groceries. -- Haru notices the rain had stopped. He took his tools and went out of the windmill. "Thank you for repairing the windmill, Haru" said by the man who hired him, "Here's my payment" he gives Haru some money. Haru walks back to home.

“Certainly. What do you need?" said the girl in reply to Kenji's Question "What's with this strange girl....Staying out in the rain.She's starting to shiver..." he thought to himself "Well you see I need a place to stay for the night.Can you tell me a place to stay for the night." Kenji said as he removed his cloak. He revealed his appearance to the girl.He was wearing a white long coat and a black suit inside.His two swords hidden under his coat.But the most noticeable accessory he had was a pendant.A pendant off a sword pointing downward.At the side of the sword there were wings of a dragon. "Here." Kenji said as he gave her his cloak "It looks soaked on the outside but It'll keep you warm at least.I just cant stand not helping people when I see they need help." ________________________ ooc:Akihiko said he's gonna post.Just wait for it.He's still at school.

A lone figure was walking towards the town.His ink black hair wet with the recent rain.On his side was seen two swords.On his right hand an arm guard with a strange symbol. As he walked he saw a caravan that was in flames.It had been apparently been attack while leaving the town by bandits.The man just walked in the middle of the battle zone.He looked around and saw bodies. He then reached the last carriage.He stopped as he sensed somebody still alive.He drew one of his swords.The blade as black as his hair. "Who's there?" he said silently "Show yourself." "I..I-Im here.." said as voice coming from the last carriage. He went there with his sword and saw the man who had was impaled to the ground with two spears,One on his shoulder and one on his right foot. "P..Please..Help me..." said the couch man. "I intend to do so." he said as he kneeled over the man. "A...Are..you going to the town?" the driver said to him. "Yes.I have to do some business there." he answered as he pulled the spears out.The man suppressed his cries of pain. "T...Thanks..." the driver said as he was helped to get in a sitting position,with his back on the couch. "I..I think Ill live...Now why dont you put your sword away?There is no danger here." said the Couch driver to the man who was standing over him. The Stranger still had his sword drawn. "Genesis." he said simply. "Your name? But why tell me you~?" said the couch driver but he never finished his sentence. "A man once said to me 'You must always tell the man you are about kill your name.And In return you will know the name of your killer.'" Genesis said as he stabbed him him the Heart.He had died that instant. "Helping others doesn't always mean letting them live." Genesis said as he pointed his strange gauntlet at the sky. All the dead bodies then became liquid and started to flow into the gauntlet's crystal. "Hmp...Time to find some other battle field..Or to make one.." Genesis said as he looked at the town below.

"Here." "It looks soaked on the outside but It'll keep you warm at least.I just cant stand not helping people when I see they need help." The man said as he held out his cloak to Sophie. She stepped back and shook her head no. "Thank you, but I'm fine, really," She finished with a smile and a slight bow. "Uh, about lodgings for the night.." She imitated the usual thinking pose, one hand rested on her hip, the other near her mouth with her index finger tapping her lips. "We don't exactly have an inn... You see, not many pass through our village. But if they do, they usually head towards the mayor's house." She pointed towards the west, directly across from their current position. "Are you here for the festival? Coming this early, you'll probably be asked to help out." She finished with a shrug. Tilting her head slightly to the left to see past him, "And from what I see, the mayor is out. The gates are closed." "What will you do now?" She asked, a frown decorating her face. Short :[ Sorry :[

After bid farewell to his new friend he goes back to helped in the bakery, the rain almost stopped and more people coming to the store. But then again it's almost past the busy hour, so after a little burst of customer getting their bread early afraid that the rain might pour again, the shop was almost empty, just bit of customer that his mom could handle alone. So after getting permission he goes back to the kitchen, there his father told him to help pounding the dough again. 'Use you hip!!, Your hip is not firm enough!!!, Lower your center of gravity!!!!, ARGH!!! this way you never get the dough done!, Your stance is not strong enough!!!!!' that is what his father were yelling all afternoon. "what am i??? a martial art student??" key thought but nonetheless he do as he was told, this has been happening for a long time now. Every time he were asked to pound dough with his father supervise him, this is what happen. And without him knowing, his father exchanged the knife in the kitchen once a week and it getting heavier every week, sure key was suspecting something strange, but he let it be by just thinking that he was tired. So from early age, key was unknowingly been trained by his father
