((Perhaps would be a good idea. Helloooo out there! Is anyone reading this who is not of the RP? ^_- ))

[[LOL! That would be hilarious. Watch, someone at their computer just recoiled at our statements. ]]

((Hey, if they're out there, they should speak up so we can see if they're worthy of joining us ^_- ))

[[ROFL. We should stop before we leave the others behind with our off-topicness. .. but I itch to post *cough*]]

((Convert the itch into art! I'm drawing what Phinney would look like at different ages ^_^ er... I mean, I'm working. <_< oh yes, I am totally drawing coping joints.))

[[OF COURSE YOU'RE WORKING 8D

Can I kidnap him when you're done?]]

((Sure you can. I'll need to scan the things though. God I am so sleepy today. Maybe I should cut my losses and go home early...))

[[*hugs Steffie* You too? Maybe today is just one of those days where everyone is tired?

OMG I need to do the writing for the final stage (don't worry, that doesn't mean it will come too soon LOL)]]

((What what final stage what? You mean like... write down the idea or something?))

[[The introduction to the last stage~

It won't have a number, it will just be "The Core". And I want to draw a picture for it too~]]

((So what's the statute of limitations on waiting for someone to post? *is gettin antsy*))

[[A day? LOL over a full page of OOC~

A day sounds reasonable, right?

Hm.. I'm trying to make an MAC for Yume in her more.. normal.. outfits.. LOL]]

((Oh snap, we OOCed all over ourselves. O_O I can't wait to get my own computer up here so I can use the MAC and do that art from the event!))

[[LOL Yeah, I never made an OOC thread because I never pictured needing one :XD

I'll link to another thread in a bit so we can OOC over there >w> ]]

((Good call, OOC threads are a pretty good idea, especially if we're not recruiting, we're popping up all over the forum.
Has it been a day yet? *knows she is annoying ^_^' *))

[[ Link

Not really OOC but a hangout, so we can go off on major tangents LOL ]]

((Hehehe! It linked to Lackadaisy XD I love that comic.))

((You did XD so I'll OOC in there... *pokes frozen players.* I thinks they's dead.))

((I dont know what to say. XD
Yuki is so cute! A very nice drawing Platty. <3))

Ani left the trailer and passed the sleeping Micheal on the floor, at least he looked like he was sleeping. She wanted to take a shower, something nice and cool in the summer night. She pressed her hand to the ground for a moment, looking for the nearest water formation. It was only a few miles away. Ani began walking towards her destination, glancing behind for a second. Her feet moved effortlessly around the trees and rocks.

Micheal heard the footsteps as soon as the hit the ground. His eyes opened from under the hat and as he lifted it up to take a look at who it was, Ani. He lowered his hat again as he saw her leave to go somewhere deep into the forest. Closing his eyes he really began to wonder what she had let plague her mind. He always knew that she wished she could live a normal human life, he himself sometimes wished her was just a human that lived a simple life.

[[LOL I think my patience is gone. Oh, look there it goes. It can fly!]]

Yuki slept deeply, dreaming of the white snowy landscapes he had been named for. He never knew if it was his mother or father who picked out his name. All he knew was that he had been named for the snow not because he liked the snow (even if he did), but because of his true form, which was so white it would nearly turn invisible against the whitest background. He dreamed of his mother, too. In his dreams she was always an angel, and they were always somewhere that showed no signs of ever being touched by man.

Shan's dreams were full of people; many kinds of people in many different places and times. The faces of the people she met before her fourteenth birthday all felt vague, except for a single face which repeated itself many times that night. There were the faces of old and new companions, and people she would never see again. One of the last faces she saw was Yuki's father. It had been a few years since she'd last seen his face in a dream or otherwise. And then again, the single intrusive face that had followed her in all her years appeared again; she woke up holding back the need to scream. Her breathing was quick and heavy.

She looked around, spotting the two boys and the hounds in the darkness. Ani had left when they had all fallen asleep. Shan walked over to the window and looked outside. It would be time to head out soon, but for now she began to calm herself down slowly. There was no sign of that face anywhere in the darkness, but it was still etched on her mind with stubborn permanence.

((Yay! A post! ^^))

Ani had stripped down to her bare skin. She waded into the cool water. The water enveloped her body welcoming her. It cooled her mind and frantic recurring thoughts. She ducked deeper below, submerging herself into the water. She released herself for a moment, just moment.

Micheal had awoken when Ani had left. He had a good couple hours of sleep, and really he wasnt one for sleeping long. His left arm felt a bit stiff as he sat up by the fire. Rolling up the sleeves of his coat he looked at the once blackened hand, clenching and unclenching it he sighed as he shed his trench coat, folding it neatly. He had a shirt under, but over, across his back was his bow and arrows. Taking it from its place, he took out one of his daggers and began sharpening the makeshift arrows. He would need to make more soon. His hat stayed on his head as he bent by the fire, back to the trailer, concentrating on what he was doing, but he was still forever alert.

With Shan and Ani's rising, Phineas was left alone in the middle of the bed, sleeping fitfully. He splayed one hand on the warm area left by Shan's body, whimpering quietly before silencing again.

Turtle opened one eye each time someone arose, watching Ani leave and Shan go to the window. His dream was false and easily paused to keep diligent over Yuki's sleeping form. He knew that everyone was having trouble resting, but was at a loss as to what he could do about it. He stuck out his tongue experimentally and curled it around one of the beetles living within him, which only stirred at night. He watched it trudge slowly around the tube he'd formed before slurping it back into his mouth. He was anxious to see what would happen in the morning.

Hearing a strange sound, Shan looked back to the bed. The hound had been playing with something, apparently. She sat on the edge of the bed, close enough to Phineas to touch his hand. She didn't see the point of trying to fall back to sleep. They would be setting out soon enough and sleeping more would ultimately leave her more drowsy. She let one of her legs dangle on the side of the bed. Perhaps thirty more minutes, and then she would have to wake them all up. After such a tiring day, she felt they deserved more time, but that was no longer possible.

Turtle rolled his eyes to look at Shan, not wanting to move his head from Yuki's waist for fear of awakening him. He grinned doggishly at her.
