"Yes, I've been told there's no place quite like Goh in late summer. Although, I've never been anywhere else, so don't take my word for it." She said rolling her eyes."
Sitting in a comfortable silence, Zarya admired the scenery herself. THe sun was caught just above the horizon, not sunrise but not quite midday yet. As per usual, the stalls were packed, selling goods of all kinds, from mecha to clothing to food and imports. Goh looked in everyway the thriving coastal town that it was. But, even a place like Goh lost it's beauty to familliarity. For Zarya, the past few months had been plagued by bordum. It aggrivated her to no end that she had such a perfect life and yet she wasn't satisfied. How greedy could humans get? She lived in a beautiful town with dozens of friends and a loving family. She easily kept food on the table every day and even after work she easily had 11 or 12 hours of free time a day. And yet, despite all of this, she wanted more; how pathetic. Maybe it was time for a change, she though dejectedly.
"So, where are you going, Row-"
He sentence was cut short by a sudden harsh cry. Quickly looking up, she saw a frightenly strong looking man approaching them. The odd thing was, he had addressed Rowds. Gods! Why did every living person on the planet want a piece of this poor kid?! Generally, Zarya's response to a situation like this would be to royally freak out, but for Rowds' sake, she kept quiet and let the scene play out. It things got out of hand, she would figure someway to intervene.

((Okay, I guess I should talk about Zarya a bit, since you're spilling your char's guts.
Well, she's pretty simple, really. Well, at least her original character is. At this point in time, she's doing a lot of questioning of herself. She doesn't like the way her life is going and is trying to change something about herself, she just doesn't know what. Because of this, her actions and reactions tend to be pretty inconsistent. One day she may be very spontaneaous and stubborn because she is relying on her instinct, her natural standards of behavior. But other times, like in the last post, she shows signs of wanting to change. She goes against her normal routine and becomes thoughtful and indecisive.
Because she's yound and her past is a pretty ordinary story, she's very focused on the future. She doesn't look to the past because there's nothing relevent to look at.
I'm nost sure how this will be resolved. It depends on the direction the RP takes. However it happens, it should be interesting. 3nodding
Anyway, great work guys! This is turning out great!))

Well, I'm not going to post yet. I'll give Nutz a chance to post first. In my last post, I upped the story to a small climax (may seem large but its not to me. When I do a large scene, people will know). Due to this, I'm giving all the characters a chance to respond, except Rowds since his reaction will be based on what Epsilon and Nutz have posted. So yeah. And if anybody wants to join, you can join now in a brief scene of action and just go with the flow or wait until the start of Chapter 1.

Two Noir Enrober had been conversing over a previous job when the man came. They knew he was different. They could feel the magic radiation from him. It was unlike any magic they had encountered before, except that it reminded them of Faris somehow. "I'm going to tell Faris that somone new is in town." As he back away, he saw the man bring the water from the fountain and souround himself with it. "Yah, definatly telling Faris" the other heard him say as he went down the back alley.
- - - -
Bill stiffened as a knive hit the wal abouthalf a centameter from his cheek. He knew it had been a chance, but he had had to take it. "Faris, your needed." Grumbling, she sat up and put her boots on. SHe stood and walked forward. She grabed her knife out of the wall, and took her robe from the peg on ther wall. Swirling it around her and fastening it, she headed out the door and downthe stairs to the common room.
"So," she asked. "Where's the trouble." she jumped the last few steps and landed on the floor, shaking it with her impact.
"By Our fountan. Some man is controling water and pestering a boy with purple hair and a girl that is with him." A new voice said. Faris looked around and her eyes landed on and Noir Enrober.
She nodded and whent behind the bar. Reaching up and findign the hidden compartment under the bar, she gathered more knives. There eleven, plus my staff. That should hold me. She turned to her informent, "Anything else I should know?"
He nodded. "He reminds us of you. And don't come running up. Only get involed if you can't help it. We don't know what he's capibal of, probaly alot worse then what he's shown us."
Faris nodded and grabed her staff that Bill was holding for her and marched out the door.
- - -
Faris took the same route the Noir Enrober had. Along the back roads, though the alleys. She wan't bothered, who in there right mind would? She came up behind the other Noir Enrober. "So," She whispered. "What's happened so far."
"Nothing much. He seems to be waiting for somehting."

((sorry, I'm low on time, so this'll be short.))
For a single nerve splitting second, everything went still. The innocent bystanders stared, afraid but grotesquely facinated. It was a typical human response, like how crowds gathered around alleyway gang wars. But, also like typical humans, they crowd would quickly disperse as soon as the real danger appeared and posed an actual threat to them. The Water Manipulator stood still, awaiting a response. Rowds just stared. With eyes like his, Zarya wondered how Obnoxious Water Boy could take it. Of course, his eyes weren't exactly "standard issue" either, so she supposed it all canceled out in the end. She couldn't tell whether Rowds was unnerved or just surprised. Deciding to find out, Zarya broke the eerie silence with a timid "Rowds.....do you...know this guy?"

The scene erupted into chaos as people fled and others came to watch the apparently snowballing confrontaion of powers. The fountain was empty as the water slithered to Sol, leaving Rowds in in a stupor. Who was this man? A clear look of bewilderment spread across his face as he stood up in youthful defiance, the bandage flowing through the wind. Swinging the rifle off his back, he held it in his right hand, his finger on the trigger. Giving a glance to the woman who saved his life, he forced another smile, choosing not to answer her question. Something was awry. Who is this man? What does he want with me? Finally, he tok a step forward and began to take his stand.
"Sir, I don't know who you are, but I refuse whole heartedly. I don't know what you want with me but I have things to do. So if you'll excuse me-" His sentence was cut short as he noticed a young girl next to the man. The girl's short blonde hair flew in the wind as a ponytail. They're eyes connected and a feeling of familiar warmth swept over him.Taking a step forward, Serai looked into the boys eyes. Steppin gover the water, her new boots made a soft clank sound against hte craggy pavement of the streets. Sol stared as Serai stopped midway between himself and the young man.
Holding out her hands, she began to smile as a pink sphere burst from her heart. As Sol watched, a second aura erupted in his vision but this time it was coming not from the boy but from Serai. However, the feeling was exactly the same. It wasn't good nor was there any evil connotation of it. BUt it was strong. Swiftly, he grabbed repentance from his waist and threw it just behind Serai. "Victagti Nan!" Sol's voice suddenly ringing out at the sword as he held out his palm to Serai. Suddenly she fell to the ground, her body appearing as if some force was holding it down. She let out a small scream as the pink orb flew back into her heart.
Staring in disbelief Rowds suddenly found himself running towards the girl, placing a two rounds in the rifle and swinging it up to aim at Sol. "What are you doing?! Can't you see shes in pain!" The gunshot rang out through Goh as the bullet hit Sol in the shoulder. Smiling, Sol looked at his shoulder as the bullet had stopped only by a small margine and collapsed to the ground. Suddenly a small piece of ice fell from his armor as he began to laugh.
"A modern weapon? You know, unless you know how to use it properly, you'll never find yourself getting anywhere." speaking while grabbing Aquarius from his back. In the blink of an eye he had swung it at the water circling around him, nearly a hundred spiraling threads of water shot at Rowds. In disbelief Rowds found himself running about as the threads crashed behind, srilling into the ground and walls of Goh. Suddenly he stopped as the last half of the threads surrounded him. Squeezing his eyes shut, he fell to the ground and let out a scream.

Wow. Just.......wow. Words could not describe just how incredibl......"wow" it was. It was all so "wow" in fact, that Zarya was having trouble mentally moving past that point; for a number of reasons. First, that water was floating around Freaky Boy.....then Freaky Boy's Friend stating to feel a bit pink....and then the bullet-freezing thing.....and DAMN Rowds' shooting was good! Just.........wow. Zarya was frozen in her place beside the empty fountain. Geez, Rowds could run too! Tearing her attemtion away, she looked down at the girl, limply sprawled on the ground. Feeling a stab of sympathy, Zarya really wanted to see if she was okay. Even so, she was way too clase to Freaky Boy to approach. And even if she did make it that far alive, she knew nothing about health. For the second time in thirty seconds, Zarya restained herself, waiting for the right moment to.......to...crap. What could she do? She wasn't some martial arts monk or travelling mercenary! She was just a civilian; a passerby who hadn't run away when she should have. And, in all likelyhood, in five minutes she would be the nameless corpse of some bumbling idiot who didn't have enough sense to get out of the crossfire. Kneeling behind the edge of the fountain, Zarya hid as best as she could, eyes peeking out cautiously, like a child's during a strictly enforced naptime.
((Sorry about the first few lines. I meant to capture what she's thinking, but it's really just crappy writing. gonk ))

Rowds sat there in fear as his screams radiated throughout the city, his hands covering his head as if some magical event was supposed to happen. However he didn't feel any pain. Only the feeling of his trembling body and the roaring of his heart within its cage. In bewilderment he opened his eyes expecting to be greeted by the calm of the heavens. However what he found was far more perplexing than any celestial plane could have shown him.
The threads seemed to move as if in slow motion as if some force was keeping them back. Not only that, but everybody seemed to be moving slower. Maybe it was his memories flashing before his eyes. Maybe it was the drugs he had taken earlier. Either way he knew that not only were they moving slow, but his body could not move as well. Scanning the area, his eyes caught a glimpse of the woman, crouching behind the fountain as if it were some magical barrier.Suddenly he saw it, a familiar face staring at him, kneeling just in front of the on coming barrage of water. Turning around, he could clearly see it was a woman. Slender. Elegant. But the most peculiar felonious eye. Stepping over his body, he heard a slight giggle as the woman disappeared through a wall, leaving behind an echo of her words inside him. "You can use it you know. I give you full permission to. Either way, I'll still love you."
In an instant, time seemed to resume as Rowd's screams began to echo further. However something was different. A faint violet light suddenly appeared from his head as the threads wavered and diverted around him. Taken back, Sol watched as the light erupted, forming in the shape of an eye above his head. The water suddenly froze as a mixture of pale blue and white auras surrounded Sol's body, his eyes watching as the small boy fell over, clutching his head. The scars on his back opened up as a dark slime began to free itself of his body. However more was yet to come as two thin, black arms flew from his back, its large rasping fingers clinging towards the cry like an infant child. The screaming finally ended as the hands extended fully, forming two black "wings" with black ooze dripping from them. Uneasy, Rowds found himself standing again, his eyes completely void except for the faint gray tinges of his pupils and iris.
"Who could do such a thing to children?" Sol muttered under his breath, his eyes transfixed into the boy's void. "May the path justice be the only one I walk." Raising Aquarius into the sky, the water began to to formulate itself into a second figure in Sol's likeness. Swinging the sword down in the direction of Rowds, the replica began to run at the young man, its long sword slowly beginning to fine point itself and harden into ice. Suddenly the eye swung around in the direction of Sol and Rowds turned his head. Flicking his wrist, the rifle switched to his left hand as he knelt down and took aim at the stomach of the replica and Sol. The wings began to press against eachother as the eye began to focus onto Sol. Pulling the trigger, a violet light flew out as Rowds flew back against the wall, the wings taking the brunt of the hit before disappearing into a black ooze on the ground along with the eye. Uncontious, he felt himself drifting away again. A feeling he found so familiar seeing as he had just felt it the day before he reached Goh.
The replica collapsed flowing into the cracks of the street as the bullet continued to soar towards Sol. Throwing his gauntlets to the ground, he held Aquarius towards the bullet, the blatant white force focusing into the blade. His voice became rasp as he let out a deafening roar, Aquarius shaking in his hands before shattering and forming water dragon. Blood trickled from Sol's eye as he covered the now vacant socket. As the dragon and the bullet clashed, a violet light erupted. The victor anonymous until the light disappated.

Phew. Actions scenes are a pain in the a** when your older! gonk I don't remember them being this hard to describe before! Damn! Takes a lot out of an old man! Oh well. I've still got meh mojo.
Lets see. To start things off, I'll talk a little about Sol since that seemed the most confusing. As everybody knows, Sol has a silver and blue dragon's eye in place of his real eye which he lost during his past (not giving that one out until later). This dragon's eye, is in fact the one thing which allows him to sense things that normal people wouldn't and do certain techniques which a normal human couldn't do. However the eye is very much a mind of its own and in case you guys couldn't guess it, the eye is in fact Aquarius which happens to be his sword. Now the sword is actually a fang from the Water Dragon Prince of his land as well as the eye being the Prince's eye (I must have been watching Inuyasha while making this apparently. sweatdrop Oh well. It works). SO yeah. can't go into any more detail on that since it will give away much more of Sol's past than intended and cause many people to ask more questions.
NOTE 2 Epsilon: Sol's in his late twenties/early thirties at the time of this. So hes not as young as you make him sound. Sorry. Age is sort of a pet peeve for me in RPs. BTW, hows the pictures coming along?
Next is Rowds. Lets see... I think that I came up the idea for his wings from FLCL. They're like hands but they function as "wings" and other purposes I suppose though I haven't decided that for myself yet (I'd like to see him open a can of soda with them! That'd be too cute). Originally, Rowds's powers aren't supposed to form an eye. Originally it was supposed to be more like his vision is amplified through his mind though his eyes aren't fully functioning. So in a way, a third eye. But this seemed sortah shifty so I made it a little more artsy fartsy and decided to make it like an ominous eye above his head. Also, his powers allow him to amplify the power of his bullets by putting a little bit of a "psychic push" into them. SO yeah. Hard to explain but its there. xp

((*Holds head* I'm so confused. But thats okay, ask Buckle-chan, it happens often. I'm sorry I havn't psted a lot. I'm a mod if a DRoP guild and the Hatching just started and I had to help it get up and running. Again, Gomen! sweatdrop And correct me if i get any of the summation wrong.))
Faris watched as the boy was pushed up against the wall by the water. Her mind searching. She had heard of a man with power like this. Power over the water. She turned her attention back to the courtyard. She saw an eye forming above the boy, and the man make a second form from water and send it towards the boy. SHe watched on as the kid fired a bullet that shot though the water form. The man (who Faris realized looked strangely familure) had that dragon that he shared a body with come forth and clashed with the bullet. This is so strange. It's all familure. I mean....I know that man, I'm sure of it. How, now that I'm not sure of. But I know it has somthing to do with the desert. Whatever it is, I want them out of our side. I want them doing this out of my jurisdiction. Faris watched, waiting to see the outcome of this battle, her brow furrowed, she need them out of middle of the street and she wanted to talk to that man.

Clink. Clink. Clink. The tapping of metal against the ground broke the silence as the light began to fade away. Standing above the boy was a tall man, a large katana hanging from his back and his hair blowing violently into the wind, a streak of blood running down his right cheek of his eye socket where a silver and blue dragon eye was glowing softly. Picking up the boys body, he examined the circular scars along the boy's spine and vital spots. Walking to the fountain, he placed the boy's body against it. His eyes took a glance at the woman behind the fountain and shaking his head again, walked to Serai, laying on the ground in tears, not a sound of pain escaping her lips.
"Cogtio tam," the whisper escaping his lips. The area around the Repentance lifted slightly as the force disappated. Sliding on his gaunlets, he picked up Serai's limp body. "I'm sorry... Both of you. It would seem that there is a monster growing." Yanking on the chain from Repentance, he placed it on his waist and turned, walking away to the shores. Stopping briefly, he glanced at Rowds once more. "May fate smile on you kindly child. Oh yes." Waving staring at the fountain again, the water flowed back into it, the water spouting from its top once again. walking again, he started to make his way back to the shores.
