Ghost Town

[Smittee]

For the first time ever, I entered the world. As I look around the desert town, I found out it's more like a desert than I thought. No one is there. It's just me and the sand. I walk into the shop. It's like things left for strange reasons. Although, in this roguish mind I thought,'It would be the perfect time to loot.' Instead, I decided it best I find a reason, when I noticed the board showing me an area. Thinking that this place is important, I rushed to the chaos gate, and found myself going to the next area.

Never thought it would be Winter. (I'm sure my character's tail is freezing off. ) So many snowmen, but not another soul. As I searched this simple area, I started to feel the creepy feeling of the snowmen watching me. I walked over to chat, only finding I was just being silly. Then I thought, 'Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe these snowman ARE people!'

Afraid they would attack me, I then rushed back to the deserted town, and now plan to stay by the Chaos Gate. Even though I'm sure those snowman won't attack me, you just never know if some greater power is out there, and just decides to cause havoc to a game, where a lone player is the only one on. >.<

((Yes, my imagination likes to go wild. XD))

I love reading these sort of things lol. Thanks for writing it :D

[Smittee]

I got on again, on this night. Again, there was no one. So, I read the places posted. There was an excavation site posted! Thinking I may be able to find me something good to loot, I left for the area. But when I got there, there was another sign there. Apparently someone already came and found all the good stuff! Just to make sure, I went in. Nope, the sign wasn't lying! Tail swishing, I headed back to town. I sighed, knowing there was still know one around. That's when I noticed it. I never saw the second pathway into town before!

So, I took it, seeing where it would lead. Seemed like the perfect area to hide away-if you were looking for that sort of thing that is. ^_^o Though, I soon found myself back in the regular part of town again. So, I headed back to the crazy snowman area. I booed them, but nothing. I placed my hand on a tree and sighed.

Now that I think about it, I'm kinda glad no one was on, and in that area with me. Something about it makes me feel...glad to be alone there. It'll be a good place, in the future, to go and just calm down.

Anywho, perhaps I'll meet up with someone another day. Until then, I guess I'll be either waiting at the Chaos Gate, or in Sinking Distant Holyground.

[Smittee]

A wonderful thing happened! I was in Sol, the town when I first log in. I was just leaning against a stone wall near the Chaos Gate, when Balmung came on! I was no longer alone anymore. He took to me a new area called "Hulle Granz Cathedral", and told me a bit about it. It was so beautiful. The music. The statues. I spoke to him for only a bit longer, before he had to leave. I was sad he was going, but I was glad I met him in The World.It feels less of a Ghost Town for me now. ^.^

I will probably still be able to be seen in those areas in which I posted about before, but put that new one on the list too. Perhaps, one day I'll meet up with him again, or perhaps another player. Till then, I will stay in this peaceful areas...that is, until I find another one less peaceful, and start my search for good places to stach some loot. XD (Sure my character would waggle their tail at that statement)

[smittee is very sorry, if saw my last OOC edit thingy. Mind is trying not to work right.]

[TheSorrow]

This topic is making me feel go back and check out The World again XD

Not like i haven't because i didn't want to though....for 3 weeks or more i've been very busy with schoolwork XP I'm out of school now though, so i have all the time i wish :D

[hawthorneluke]

Makes me remember my love for The World too :D lol

[Smittee]

Today upon entering The World, I didn't go directly to MST, as I usually do. Instead, there I saw Ouka! O.O Someone right there as I got on. It was amazing! Ouka asked me to follow, and so I did. Arriving at the in, and inside the tavern, to my surprise there was more than one player! There I met Gin and soon after Apeiron (sp). We chatted a while, but I couldn't keep away from that beautiful Cathedral. So, while my tummy was rumblin', I told them I would be there. When I returned, there were others. And so, I spoke, as I polished my sword and sat in the shade.

I ended up getting to try and help someone. Although, it looks like he'll need mod help. So, instead I just stuck around with him and chatted. Although, it almost made me think of when Tsukasa couldn't log out. If that was the actual case though, I would ask him to teach me how. XD Junko and Divine Fist Ouka left, and so I just spoke with Jake.

[TheSorrow]

Darn, i missed my chance .3. I saw Ouka and Gin and Apeiron too (at least them speaking), but because of me reading a book and then playing MGS4, and not checking the game after like 3 hours, i completely didn't notice you all started talking; it was darn quiet by the time i got on 'XD

Oh well, next time i'll catch up on you >3>...Hopefully >3>'

[Smittee]

A strange thing has happened today. As I spoke to The Sorrow at the Cathedral, another player arrived. Their name was Trash_Data, but I just call them T.D. now. First, they ran off. They returned, and poofled again. Then they spoke. "You remind me of the past...like snowmen." So, I went to the snow field. There he was, with The Sorrow following. Then, they ran off again. I searched different areas. They spoke again. They spoke about not having their old home, and how they were looking for a new one. I returned to the Cathedral, thinking that I might as well do so. When I arrived, there he was. He said," They are the same." I asked him what he meant by that, but he did not reply. He left to outside the church, and mentioned the bracelet. Then, he joked around about Data Drain with The Sorrow. He then hoped he would see both of us again and left. What was strange was not that he left, but he left without the use of a Chaos Gate. Apparently, from what Sorrow said, he was able to do that when he was looking for him too.

A strange occurrence indeed. Is it a magical trick, or is it just magic? Is it good programming, or an accident? Whatever it is, I hope to see him again. Perhaps we could talk more next time.

The World is getting fun and more interesting day by day :D

Actually there was a common bug until a while ago where you couldn't log out XD

Also, you can press ESC or the X at the top left of the window to log out :D (Although I feel like the world would be better off and more interesting without me saying such boring things :x lol)

or just dont leave :D

[Smittee]

We found out who T.D. was. Ouka gave us the info. They are a mapper, which is why they were ableto move in ways no one else could. I thought of what a pity it was that we didn't meet a mysterious character....I should have known I shouldn't have thought that! We met mysterious characters all right!

Ouka, Apeiron, Burbon, and I heard someone call to us.

The voice said,"the question..come find me."

"Do you guys know this player," asked Burbon. Apeiron replied with a firm 'no'. So, Burbon replied with,"An adventure!"

I asked," Hide and seek?"

The voice replied,"Yes. Find me.."

Apeiron made a reward of mead to find me, and Bubon asked if we want to look for him. The voice told us the first to find wins. The hint that was given was that he was praying. So, we rushed to the Cathedral. Aperion made it first, and I arrived second. He asked us,"hu hu hu.. will u help this old man look for his daughter? T.T"

"You find my daughter.. in exchange i give you.. Time..Give me my daughter> days, seconds, minutes..," he added. "Now look for her! and i give u time"

He then began to spout off things. Omega, Citizen, and X. Ouka tried to explain there were only 4 players on. No 5th. He told her she was hidden. I pointed to statue.

" Aura?O.O," spoke Ouka

I said," He is Herman! Or...whatever the name was."

"Herman," asked Burbon

"Yes," replied the man,"Walk with me..."

Burbon and I followed.

He said,"This was the altar where i baptize my daughter.. she was crying so loud! :D"

"Is she in Morganna's grasp," I asked.

"Yes," he exclaimed. "Look deep within your heart."

"What is her name," asked Burbon.

"Aura," I replied.

"You will have to fight yourself to know the location," the man told us.

That's when I heard it. The voice of a small female child. It told me where to go. "Aura..."

"Yes, the man spoke."

I rushed to the city. There I saw a pink haired girl standing.

"YOU FOUND MEEE. Take me to mah daddy," she said to me.

"I found you...Okay, follow me."

While I was taking Aura back to him, the man spoke of a sun going to the gun store, and how he needed someone to help, I found out later. We returned to the Cathedral, seeing him praying.

"Oh dear," spoke Aura. "FATHER!"

He turned to see her, shouting,"Daughter! How I've saught for you. Come to daddy's arms."

"Yes father," she replied.

They then embraced each other. If there were others near, I noticed them not. I was just happy to see this sight. I smiled and said,"It's good to see you two together."

"Yes," spoke Aura. "So what does smittee get for finding me," she asked.

"Thank you," he spoke to me. "thank you so much...now...I...rest..."

Aura then said,"What about-?"

"Goodbye! may you be happy," he interrupted.

"-Smittee Finding me..o.o NO," shouted Aura.

"Remember I.." he started.

"DADDY! NO!"

"will always..."

"NOOO"

"love...you."

He began to fade, when Aura slapped him. She then growled out," GIVEE SMITTEE DA PRIZE!"  I, of course, was very shocked about this.

"The souls are calling me," he told Aura.

"NO! GIVE HER A PRIZE!"

"I cannot disobey them," he replied.

"You must!!! I am your DAUGHTER!"

"Daughter..."

"Yes?"

"Be...happy."

She looked wide eyed. "What about Smittee?...Okay..."

"I will give you all the time," he spoke.

"She needs something...Time?"

"Smittee is there for you," he said.

"Okay," she replied.

"Smittee will pay for your dinner tonight," he added.

"Wtf. No. I don't eat. Remember? I anorexic. That's why I'm a midget."

"Smittee will..," he replied. I of course was shocked, and my thoughts were screaming 'what' at this time.

"I felt the presence of death. Death is coming...for me..Oh death!! where art thee.." During this time, I did notice the arrival of Burbon, but I ignored for now, to step towards the man. "I will protect your daughter," I spoke.

"Take me, to me eternal slumber..Yes. Thank you, Smittee."

"Yes. Time to go," spoke Burbon.

"I will trust her to you..," the man said. "time to.."

Twilight Aura screen shotted his. (Whatever that means)

He finished with,"...go..Goodbye all..."

Then, he was gone. I walked over to Aura to comfort her, and tell her that he just wanted to see her again. Burbon spoke that it was the man's time. He spoke of no one escaping death, and I reminded Aura I would protect her. That's when her brother entered inside the cathedral.

"Sister, did you see father," he asked.

"Yes," she replied.

"Damn! I was too late," he yelled. "The souls have taken him hostage."

"And dads...dead," spoke Aura.

"brother-in-law," spoke the son, probably to Burbon or a male in the room. "Help me find out daddy."

"Dads dead..," repeated Aura.

"Nooooo," he replied to her.

"I FRIGGIN SAW HIM DIEEE," she yelled.

"He is ALIVE," he retorted.

"Of being shocked! Dead! I SAW HIM DIE."

"Damn souls.. damn.. souls.. uhu hu,"he cried.

I then spoke up. "Is he alive in code?"

The son looked to me. "Perhaps."

"No. I dunno," was Aura's answer.

"Let us venture forth to find clues where daddy is.."

"I saw him die," once again spoke Aura, still upset perhaps.

I asked him," where should I look?"

"What did daddy say before he left," asked the son.

That's when Gin entering asking what he had missed. The son looked to him and asked for him to help. Gin, of course, asked who this was, to get no answer. Apeiron asked what to help with.

"Our daddy...urhh the souls have taken him," he replied.

"Oh nooo. I see a light. Nuuu! NOO! My ANOREXIIAAn IS KILLING ME!!! WAAAHH!"

We all turn to look at Aura, seeing her pain.

"Nooo! Sisteeeeerr!"

But, it was too late to help. She died then. I shouted out, seeing as I was unable to protect her from herself. What seemed to be the fastest grieving period ever, the son spoke about finding a clue. His answer given was Mt. Rushmore. Gin, of course, was still confused.

"I'll check the spire," I said, hearing him agree.  Ouka had returned, and had chosen to check the tavern. Apeiron also searched the areas I did, being one step ahead of me every time. The son apparently went to the snow fields, to then cry in both sadness of his father's death and self pity. That's when he called everyone to the snow fields. He said he had found his father. I didn't expect he would think his father was turned into a snowman. Then, he saw the another snowman, and thought he had two fathers. He began to debate on who was the real father.Then something about the father fighting a doppleganger, and himbeing to late to stop it. Ouka reminded him that the father had died, but he wouldn't believe that. Then Apeiron started to mess with his mind, telling him that he split them in two, which later leads to him killing the father to killing the daughter. Gin tried to figure out a way if one can restore the father to normal, instead of a frackin' snowman. I suggested taking him to town, since it's a frackin' desert. Gin realized I was meaning the3 sun. Then, we found how long winded the son is.

"by the grace and compassion in my heart.. that is of this world, of this time! i vow to take you back from the souls!!! Apeiron, i will have vengence.. i will.. start a guild!"

Gin added," Your resolve to this matter will Face you in a finality beyond your comprehension!"

"The "daddy where are you?" guild. Yes gin dono...i may.. look endlessly."

Ouka shouted," HE DIEDDD!AURA KILLED HIM!" Alas, he seemed to ignore her again. Out of surprise though, he actually DID hear her. He denied it. Apeiron egged the son on. Ouka told him she killed him with her words. That is when Apeiron shouted that he killed her. Ouka tried to say that Aura made her father jump off a cliff, because she turned him suicidal. That's when the son's tone of voice changed.

"I.. need time to think.. this matter is throwing me in the grave.."

Apeiron still egged him on, by saying he fed Aura to ahkamakegiom, the sun monster. The son asked Gin for support. Then, apparently, Ouka ate the father. Gin told the son he would support him. The son returned to what appeared to be his normal self. He had figured out what he would do.

"Kill me," asked Apeiron.

"I must go to the souls gound-"

"And kill me," asked Apeiron again. I hit me head on a tree, hoping that the son would just get on with it.

The son went to Apeiron and asked," Aperion sama.. pls kill me so i can be with my daddy once again."

I, of course, hit my head against the tree over and over again.

"NO, do it yourself," told Apeiron.

So, the son looked to me. "Smittee.."

"Yes?"

"Aperion refuses to kill me.. will u kill me?"

Smittee slapped him. "Snap out of it!" Although, it didn't have the right effect.

"I...am dead," he spoke.

Apeiron tried to tell him that he was his father and get him to change his mind,but still the son was dying. He was spouting mumbo jumbo as well, about owls and flying.

That's when I said," You have a sword, symbolizing a warrior...and a slap is killing you?"

"yes.. you have found my weakness smittee san," he replied. " a slap is stronger than a sword I say!"

I look around. "Somebody give him a Sanity potion, before I do something cruel and laugh."

" i would like to stay.. but i need to go," the son announced. 'The portal is openining. A ra han ma yo.. ko no min chi!!"

"This is one morbid storyline," spilled out of my mouth.

"By the power invested in me... i now pronounce me, gone!" And with that, the son was indeed gone.

After he was gone, we discussed some things, but we wouldn't have anything stop there. Terminator arrived.

"Herro, Terminator," I said.

" It's MR.T," shouted Gin.

"You guys.. im looking for clues," Terminator spoke. "I'm from the soul society."

Ouka groaned," Not this again..." Sorrow asked what was going on.

"A terrible burdden has come before us," He started.

"You have got to be kidding me," I said.

"I'm looking for clues," he then said again. "He was going to kill me.the enchantment.. was so strong...i feel the presence...the sorrow... Smittee...Ouka... Your names have been written. You are now the chosen ones."

"I is chosen one," I ask surprise.

"Yes, Smittee," replied Terminator 8.

The Terminator turns towards The Sorrow. "The Sorrow you...are awesome." Sorrow thanked him. During this time, we were also talking about Final Fantasy, so Terminator told Ouka to play certain ones, and about not living till she did. Then, he told her she is also awesome.

Then pops in Vermouth, looking for Gin. Sorrow wants her. Terminator told her she is not awesome.I said out loud to Ouka that, since we were the chosen ones, I feared the World was doomed. She agreed. Then, Terminator told us to remember this to save the world: We save the father...we save the world. While this happened, Sorrow was flirting with the gal Vermouth. This caused Sorrow to be considered more awesome by Terminator.

Then, Terminator told us that father was our only clue, while Sorrow chased Vermouth. I was saying how much I wanted to gouge a snowman's eyes out. Terminator was going on about long journeys, so I said we should look for Father in the Cathedral. And so, he tells me to go there, if I want to live.

When we arrive, he felt a presence, and then we entered. There was Vermouth, and Sorrow following us inside. Terminator wanted Vermouth on the left, Sorrow on the right, and me in the middle. Somehow I'm not sure if it was right or not. Terminator was going to make a vow for those two of eternity, so she ran. She spoke of how long she would wait for Gin. He renounced them man and life though. While Sorrow and she fought, Terminator stayed out of the way. She then said she would wait forever as a statue, and so she was gone.

Apeiron then showed up, and I thought he and terminator were to have a battle. Instead, Terminator spoke on how he wasn't strong enough to defeat him, because he went from armor man to data drained jacketed terminator. At the same time, Gin showed up to look for Vermouth, only to soon be battling Sorrow. Terminator begged to have his life spared, only to be able to do iy by giving his lunch pass to Apeiron, who he starts to call a king. Although, Terminator stepped into the fight with Gin and Sorrow and got his arm taken off. So, he has to return to Delta Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground Omega Sega Wii, to make it a gun arm. Before he does, I give him pie to eat in honor of King Apeiron. The fight with Gin and Sorrow ends, with Gin waking up not knowing who he is. Terminator tells me again that I must save the World, before he too disappears. Sorrow also figures out he must be the meaning of his name.

I look upon the statue of Aura, and ask her to guide me. So many things transcended this night, and all before hawthorneluke showed up to say hello.

[timo_tom]

Hahaha that was awesome I wish I was online when you were xD

" GIVEE SMITTEE DA PRIZE!" That was my fav bit!

[TheSorrow]

Wow. That was way more awesome than i thought it happened...that, or you're just that awesome in writing it down XD

Anyways Smitteh keep up the good work!

I want to know more about your adventures!

[Princess Rei]

AAHHHH!!!! -.- So mad... O.O *sees snowman* ... *raises her scythe * ... *cuts off snowman's head* ^-^ Stress is gone. All better now! (This is what I do in [The World]. Yes, I sound like a murderous princess. Don't make the joke. Apeiron already did....-.-')

[TheSorrow]

Snowmen are cute o3o

[Smittee]

Eep! A snowman! Anyways, as for my adventures in the world....A lot of them I must keep to myself now. There has just been too many strange things happening. But now, messages from Aura....What is going on within the depths of The World? Will my knightly wishes conflict with my curiosity?

[Smittee]

So strange, and yet its beauty is unbelievable. Searched long did I, in that strange a place, only to find myself here? I find myself unable to log out,f o rI don't wish to leave it. Even though I can return to this place anytime now, with going through the long and dreary path of finding it, I still wish not to leave. And so, I will stay here as long as my connection allows. Then, when I return, I will immediately come here. Something about this place-There is something that seems to draw me here. And this-The strange globe within the center. What is it? Is it a mere decoration, or perhaps something more?

I am unsure of what to say or think about this place. While I long to share the name of this place, I have this sudden pit of desire to not. Instead, I will see who will find me here, and who see this unusual of places. For while it is beautiful, I feel unusual here. Perhaps you will find me, other players. Perhaps you shall not.

You can only hope to find the way passed the labyrinth.
