Memories of a Shinigami (Invite Only): OOC

**Andromeda** · 08-09-2008, 04:48 PM

Well I'm working 80 hours now. So it is going to be even more difficult for me to make a post. I'm going to work on something for Steph so that I can keep posting. These 80+ hour weeks should not really last much longer. But I figure it'll be like this until the end of the month. Once that comes things should die down a lot.

**Xeim** · 08-10-2008, 03:07 PM

Sin: I was planning on getting mean after I caught up. =P So yeah, I'll PM the people I haven't heard from after I've posted.

Evangel: Thanks for letting me know where you're at. I'm moving the RP on in roughly a week, so try to finish up the week in that amount of time. How much detail you go into is up to you. I'm just writing for part of the evening on the second day, so... >_>;

Toph: I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes, I hope you'll write for the other parts. ^^;

Andro: No problem. If anyone is able to catch up after falling behind, its you. Besides, since Steph's on his own schedule, there probably shouldn't be any problems. But 80 hours? Don't overexert yourself! ^^;

I've got my post written up, and should be posting soon. Pardon how cheesy it is, I was short on ideas when writing it, and Haruka didn't really have much to add to Andro's scene so...

EDIT: PMed Oath, Fishie, Yuuki, and Cid.

**Victoria** · 08-10-2008, 09:25 PM

There we go. All caught up now. Minus writing for the end of the week. Although there's nothing to do for there except blackmail the history of zanpakutou teacher, but I don't think that has to really be mentioned unless people want a laugh.

**Xeim** · 08-19-2008, 11:14 AM

The RP is now open for people to begin the second week. I was informed by Fishie that he was unable to post, and the others did not send my PM back. I don't know what happened to Evangel. Evangel, if you still want to post, please go ahead, but try to finish the first week and begin the second within it.

I'll also add Fukumi, Mahonna, and Haku into the normal class list. I won't add those who have dropped or appeared to have dropped. If they want to pick the RP up again and catch up...they'll have to contact me through PM or MSN.

**Andromeda** · 08-19-2008, 11:46 PM

Second week huh? I guess I'll have to work on something for Kagashi then. Well I'm still working on Steph's post which is going to be a beast and a half to write. But its going along on a purpose. So I guess when I finish with Steph's post I'll do something with Kagashi as well and post them together.

I do have a little bit more time available to me now so I'm working on it a little more. I'm hoping to have it done soon. But I'm on call even if I'm not working 80 hours. So I could be at the drop of a hat. Anyway, it should be an interesting post for Steph. I'm taking the liberity of him being away and special time frame that he exists in to make some rather large leaps in time while keeping in the year time frame. Not really going to be using up more than half of it probably in this post.

**Andromeda** · 08-25-2008, 11:35 PM

Pardon the double post, but I wanted to say that I had posted in the RP finally for Steph. I had planned on putting in Kagashi as well, but it had already gotten to point that it was long enough the break things that I figured doing that would only break things further. Which as I found out would probably have been very possible. For those that have already looked at my post they know that I had to double post to make it all fit. It seems to have 75k characters, so that clearly illustrated to me that if I had done Kagashi as well I would have had to triple post for the RP to fit it all. ^^; Probably best that I did not.

It feels good to make such a post though, it has been too long. But anyway, that is all for Steph. It covers a huge amount of ground in his development and finally gives him a reason. I toss and turned over what I wanted to do and ended up with an unfortunately cliche answer, but in the end it works cliche or not. I will need to speak to you Xeim on the side about some of the things that I put in motion on the post and you were not on when I was finishing things up.

Also Xeim I did take some liberties with things. So let me know quickly if you something changed. Knowing how early we are still with things I scaled everything down as much as I could while maintaining a cool sounding effect as well. Keep in mind that I carry everything out within the bounds of Steph's powers even if I do not clearly outline it. So if you have questions or need some clarification just ask. If not, I'd like to keep some of the mystery in there until a later time. It is nothing too secret or anything. So let me know if you want more infomation.

Well hope you enjoy the post. I'll have Kagashi's post in at some point. I just got from pulling a really long weekend at work so I spent all of today finishing this up. I don't know how work will change for me this week if at all. So I may or may not have the time to make Kagashi's post. Though I will have to wait until someone posts anyway.

**Evangel** · 09-12-2008, 10:03 PM

Hi from beyond the grave. Um... well... sorry for not being on for a while now, school started last week and it's been pretty hectic. I do plan on trying to remain attatched to the RP and post more. My next post is going to be short, but a post non the less.I'm gonna get it done tomorrow so... yeah.

SPOILER!!:

**Evangel** · 09-24-2008, 02:04 PM

Short and sweet post. I'm kinda lost in the RP, now. I'd ask if I can just skip to where everyone else is after the first day but does that seem kinda unfair?

**Xeim** · 09-24-2008, 09:09 PM

Evangel, it's perfectly fine. I don't have a problem with it. Your next post can be post time skip, the information for which will be explained at a later time.

I've been working on the post time skip information, but I've been really busy lately, and when I've had time to work on it I've been too tired to get much done. I will get that out as soon as I can, though.

Until then, I don't want anyone posting for anything post time skip. You can post anything you'd like in the current "time", however.

Also, Andromeda, I need to talk to you on AIM at some point. It's not exactly a pressing matter as of now, but it will need to be discussed before the time skip.

**Andromeda** · 09-24-2008, 09:35 PM

Well I'm on AIM currently if you want to talk. Otherwise, I am pretty much always on AIM so just grab me whenever you need to.

I'm currently finishing up some things and I will soon be able to start making posts for Kagashi and Steph after that point. It will probably be around Sunday I figure right now. I will let you know if anything changes.

Time skip, excitement go! Hehe ^^;

**Xeim** · 10-13-2008, 08:54 PM

I decided it was time to post the time skip information. Sorry it took me so long. With this, you all can begin working on your next posts. I'll try to get mine up soon, but I have no idea when I'll be able to.

As always, feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

---

Okay, the three (or two for some) weeks we spent with our characters in the first year of their training have now come to a close. If anyone plans on posting anything else for this segment, please do so quickly. After the time skip occurs, I will not allow any more posts for the first year.

It is now time for us to receive our zanpakutos. There will be a time skip of three years, and our next posts will take place after this. A lot is going to happen in three years, and if there are specific events you want to have happen over the time skip, feel free to use them. However, convey their occurrence through flashbacks. Have your character walking to class reminiscing about the past year or something. I don't really care how you do it. If your character doesn't have anything special planned within the time we're skipping, then don't worry about it.

Our characters are now in year four of their training. From the negative view most of you had of your classes during this past segment, you will not be writing for classes during this one. This "year" will be devoted to the acquisition of your zanpakuto. However, you still need to remember the experience our characters now have. Their mindsets and power levels will have changed during the time skip. How much you want this to have happened is up to you, but they won't still be ignorant and awkward in their abilities.

Zanpakuto Acquisition

The only thing you are required to write for this time around is the process you take to obtain your zanpakuto. You may write side scenes which have nothing to do with it, but no one's going to force you to. When we begin writing, our characters will have already been trying to obtain their zanpakuto for a while. Starting from the beginning of the process would take too much time, so instead we'll be writing near the end of it. Having your character discuss/think about what they have been doing is encouraged, however. The process for obtaining your zanpakuto/learning its name is as follows:

-You will be given a normal katana.

-You will take this katana and find a calm, quiet place of your choice somewhere within the campus. Here, you will meditate.

-While meditating, you will be focusing on your soul, on the spiritual energy inside you. You will try to draw that spiritual energy out and channel it into the katana. When successful, you will have created your zanpakuto. Then, you just need to learn its name.

-To learn your zanpakuto's name, you need to focus on your zanpakuto and call out to it. When you are successful, you will be taken to a world that is, frankly, within your mind, where you meet your zanpakuto spirit. It tells you its name. This is not the manifestation of the spirit that is required for bankai; that manifestation is the appearance of the zanpakuto in the world around you. This isn't.

NOTE: Just because you know its name, does not mean you know your shikai. You will learn your shikai during a segment that we are time skipping over. If, however, you would really, really, really, really like to write for the training of your shikai, please discuss it with me.

Also, you may start from anywhere in that process. I must require that you are at least close to channeling your energy into the katana when you start, but if you're too lazy to start there or just don't care enough to write for the whole process, you may start later into it. Remember, this whole thing won't take place in one hour or even in one day. You may time skip around a reasonable amount of time to do this if you would like, since we are all basically going to be doing our own things. Please don't go beyond a couple months, however.

If you have any questions on what may or may not be allowed, please let me know before you post.

**Victoria** · 10-13-2008, 09:06 PM

Hello.

I'm wondering if it would be all right for Shino to get into the 'training' for her Shikai. The others aren't as important. I've decided to have Shino as my main character, and the other characters I control are secondary and will not be written in the first person perspective. Only Shino will.

So yeah, let me know.

Thanks~

**Xeim** · 10-13-2008, 09:18 PM

Well, I suppose I can't tell you no. You'll have to understand that it'll be taking point in a space of time that no one else is writing for, though, so you'll want to keep character interaction to a minimum.

If you have a method you'd like to take for this, I'll need to hear it through PM or something before you start writing for it.

You'll also need to make sure you can get through the the required process and this without holding us up.

If you can do all this, then go ahead.

**Andromeda** · 10-13-2008, 09:43 PM

I sort of got busy with another writing project of mine or else I would have made another post, but oh well. This is exciting. I'll have to figure out Kagashi, but I have a good solid idea about how Steph will be handled as your already know Xeim. So it should work out well. While it will be noted in the post, Steph's post will primarily take place after everyone else has already managed to get their zanpukto. And since time and interaction are not a huge deal it will make things easy. So just bare in mind that Steph will probably start at the end of the two month mark you mentioned and go from there. Since it is all relative anyway, it should not really hurt anything. I'm not planning on the time duration for Steph to be a great length of time. So it should only be a short bit outside of your two month window.

I'll start working on mine as soon as I can. I'm juggling as I said another writing project that is consuming most of my freetime so I'm probably going to halt that for a day or two to get this done now.

EDIT:

I was just talking to Shadow when I realized something. You mention learning the name of the zanpukto at this point or at least it sounded like it the way you were writing. If my understanding of Bleach and the academy is correct. Part of the test to past the academy is to learn the name of your zanpukto and be able to display the shikai as proof of having learned the name. While the name and shikai might not be completely the same, in every shikai release the name of the zanpukto is called out. Meaning that the name is probably closely tied together.

Now if you wanted to take a different approach it is your RP. I just wanted to bring this matter up. Since I would have thought that gaining your zanpukto first is one step. And then being able to communicate with your inner self and learning the name the second step with the shikai following up right after. It would seem that if you were training for your shikai you would be training to learn the name as well. That was my take on the whole thing.

Learning the name of your sword is a pretty big deal since people can't become a part of the gotei 13 without knowing it aside from Kenpachi. And even if you have your shikai it does not meaning that you can actually use it properly since it is no doubt that all of those shinigami chasing Ichigo have their shikai, but as we discussed before it was likely that it would be a waste for them to attempt to use them. A certain level of training and ability was required to work with your shikai to make it usable to you in combat.

Those were my thoughts. I don't mind learning the name if you so wish now. I can adapt to whatever methods you want to take.

**Xeim** · 10-14-2008, 07:23 PM

If you still want to make another post with Kagashi you can if you do it quickly. But as you seem busy, I wouldn't worry too much.

And yes, I do know the relationship between zanpakuto name and shikai and the requirements for passing the academy. I thought this process out thoroughly, however, so don't think it was something I threw together half-assedly without really thinking it through.

My simple logic was this: Writing for the acquistion of a katana with secret, hidden powers is all well and good, but in the end it won't mean anything on its own. However, writing for the learning of your zanpakuto's name is something sort of...monumental. It is an important memory in the existance of a shinigami.

And seeing as everyone is more or less fed up with the academy and wants to get out of it as soon as they can, I'm not going to make two scenes for it as it would double the amount of time we spend here. So maybe, MAYBE, in Bleach they don't learn the zanpakuto's name for years after obtaining it but...that's not going to happen for us. Besides, to join the divisions you have to have your shikai more or less mastered. That will take a while even after learning the name. The training of our shikai we are (more or less) skipping over, and that time factor is one of the reasons.

Toph, I know you're writing for it, so I expect that if you plan on MASTERING it, it'll take a while. Getting a good hold of it and doing the things you told me about wouldn't be enough to graduate, but would make a good sized scene. If you plan on mastering it completely, your solo scene will probably last several years. >_<

This might not be exactly what Tite would have done. But the information he has released is incredibly lacking. I'm following the guidelines as best I can with my limited knowledge, but things are obviously going to be different for the RP. This has been something that I've said many times now.

I thank you for your concern however, it was a good point to bring up.

**Victoria** · 10-14-2008, 07:35 PM

There's things called flash forwards for that. I'm not that stupid, lol. And besides.. it'd be over in a single post anyhow.

Don't worry about it.

Yes, that's right. I'm going to split and graduate in ONE SINGLE POST. BWA HA HA.

...Or something.

Edit: At least, from what I understand about Xeim's process descriptions. >_<

**Andromeda** · 10-14-2008, 10:10 PM

It actually works out well for Steph seeing as it would not put him in an strange or unfair position, since he is naturally inclined towards zanpukto in a strange manner. And I had no doubt you had your reason, just wanted to bring it up.

Anyway, I was going to be writing my post tonight, but I just go home. So yeah, not doing much of that tonight. I am going to see what I can do, but it will certainly take some time since I'm going to be writing for both Kagashi and Steph.

Looking forward to the next time jump. ^^ I think people will be happy and post more often when we have some mission or story thing that we are doing. But I guess we'll see when we get there. It'll be fun.

**Xeim** · 10-19-2008, 08:49 PM

I have a character that I'll be introducing pretty quickly here, so I thought I'd finally post his profile. I've had plans to bring him in since...pretty close to the beginning, and have been looking for the right place to do so. Now that we're close to graduating, I thought it'd be a perfect time. Anyway, here he is:

Name: Chikai-Asahi Tokoyami (lit Close Sun; Everlasting Darkness)
Age (of death): 22
Current Age: 36
Birthday: February 10th
Birthplace: Karakura Town
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Blood Type: B
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 150 lbs
Zanpakuto name: Datenshi no Sae
Zanpakuto element: Natural
Occupation: Third seat of the Sixth Division
Shinigami fighting Specialty: Kidou
Shinigami Fighting Minor: Shunpo
Standard Specialties: Speed, spells, endurance

Personality/Appearance: “He had long black hair that he pulled into a neat ponytail that ran down his back straight to his waist…He had smiling green eyes that seemed to make everything all right, as long as you stared into them. His skin was pale…and, his nose and mouth were delicate, almost feminine, but still masculine enough to make him devilishly handsome.” –Haruka

Personality-wise, Asahi is extremely kind. His spiritual power is vast, but he detests fighting and avoids it whenever possible. If fighting becomes unavoidable, however, he will not hesitate to attack. He always has a smile on, and never appears to be anything but cheerful.

Background: Asahi is Haruka's older brother. He raised her after his best friend, Akira, killed their parents. He was murdered himself, years later, on his way home from the store. He didn't spend much time in Rukongai; he joined the Academy only a few weeks after his death. He wanted to become powerful so that he could return to the real world and check on the little sister that he had left behind. He breezed through the academy, combining his natural and newfound power with his determination, but he was not quick enough. By the time he had become a fully fledged shinigami and was allowed to go on missions to the real world, Haruka had already passed on. Not knowing what else to do, Asahi continued to focus all of his energies on becoming strong to protect those around him.

Now, he is the third seat of the sixth division and is quite content on staying in such a position. He is ignorant of the fact that his sister is slowly working her way through the Academy and will soon join him in the protection squads.

**Sinister** · 10-19-2008, 08:55 PM

He better have manners! >< Lmao But it's good to see you take up a second character. You were the only one with a single char. It worked well up til now, but it means you'll write more, which will be more to read. Always good.

Anyway, I like Asahi's profile. One more char to the cast. ^^

-Sin

**Xeim** · 10-19-2008, 09:33 PM

Three more profiles for you guys. However, these characters are NOT PLAYABLE CHARACTERS. They are three original characters who will be filling the gaps left by Aizen, Tousen, and Gin for the sake of this RP. I did not create all of them, the first two were created by OmniTense and the last by me. Toph helped us work on them.

These characters will be introduced into the RP soon enough, and I'm posting their profiles now so that you can all get used to the idea of them. They will be included in the first post under a new "Non-Playable Characters" section. The previous section titled this has already been renamed as "Dropped Characters."

Fifth Division Captain:

Ninth Division Captain:

Third Division Captain:

**Andromeda** · 10-19-2008, 09:35 PM

I'm currently working on my post. I have been for most of this week. I have Steph's zanpakuto training almost completed and will be moving on to Kagashi soon enough. I don't know if I'll be working on Kagashi tonight or not. But I think Kagashi should take less time to write. But that is going to because Steph's section is so insanely long that anything else I wrote for Kagashi would certainly take less time. But I'm going to try not to make Kagashi second fiddle too much. So I'll find a way to get his to not pale in comparison. But either way, this is going to be a very long read, hope you enjoy it. I have a lot of things that I'm covering due to the accelerated nature of what we are doing.

What I write might seem unimportant to the characters, but they are all pieces to the development of them. So they are all necessary pieces even if they are going to be long. I'll let you know when I finish with this. I'm hoping that it'll be tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.

So you are putting your brother into the RP now huh, Xeim. Well that'll be interesting to watch those two. I'm guessing that we see him after the whole academy thing is done.

**Victoria** · 10-19-2008, 09:38 PM

I suppose since we are nearing that time, I'll post up Nagi's profile as well.

Name: Ohkouchi, Nagi
Age (of death): 19
Current Age: 29
Birthday: August 23rd
Birthplace: Hokkaido
Hair Color: Silver
Eye Color: Blue
Blood Type: B+
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 220 lbs
Zanpakuto name: Touketsu Kokoro
Zanpakuto element: Ice
Occupation: Fourth seat of the Second Division
Shinigami fighting Specialty: Hand to Hand
Shinigami Fighting Minor: Shunpo
Standard Specialties: Speed, strength, endurance,

Personality/Appearance: His silky silver hair flows in the wind and occasionally gets into his eyes. The length goes slightly above his shoulder. His blue eyes are as cold as ice, and his demeanor is opposite of that. He's a loner, and doesn't like receiving aid from anyone. Stubborn and rash. Somewhat like that girl Shino. He has a scar across his right eye and down his chest. The chest scar was received from that invisible foe that killed him and sent him here to Sereitei.

Background: He died from an invisible monster after he masqueraded a robbing of a convenience store to put Shino in a test of her strength. He was given the task to gauge her growing and also to see if her illness had returned from its slumber. However, the battle had gotten too heated from their personalities, and she wound up dead, along with his cousin, and her "sister" Mai. The store incident had left a sour taste in his mouth, and to top that off, some invisible monster beat him into a bloody pulp and left him for dead. And that was how Nagi arrived to Soul Society. He didn't stay in Rukongai for very long, he joined the Academy to become a Shinigami to put a stop to those evil monsters, and to perhaps check up on his cousin Mai and his childhood friend's sister, Shino.
------------------------------

Ooooh... Plot development... (And technically Sin's second character was already introduced like once. =P)

**Andromeda** · 10-21-2008, 10:11 PM

Well I finally posted and yes, you are not mistaken your eyes are not playing tricks on you. I did in fact write so much that I was forced to triple post to make it all fit into the forum. I finished out on 42 pages of work for this. The sad thing is that I cut out a number of things in an effort to shorten it too. I tossed around the idea of putting Kagashi first since it does happen mostly before the events in Steph's post, but I decided in the end it actually worked better to the development and story of Kagashi that he go second.

As I said before Steph post contains a number of things that I see as character development and important to the post. The same goes for Kagashi. Which is why they are such long posts. Kagashi has gone through a number of changes due to a number of different factors. So he is not like you remember him anymore. When writing his stuff I went back to old Suzu posts and grabbed things and remembered a rather important key point that I feel stupid for forgetting. So Kagashi actually shapes up to be a more developed character now. It is difficult to say if he went back closer to what Suzu had originally in mind, but either way the way I was playing up to now is pretty much dead and gone at this point. But he has personality and spunk now. So that will make him more interesting in the end.

It is indeed a long read, but Xeim let me know if there is anything that you wish changed. Due to length I did leave out some things so I will explain what I can if needed. Hope you enjoy it. I know I had fun writing it.

**Xeim** · 10-23-2008, 09:14 PM

I am posting because: Rika is a self-proclaimed "wuss," and would like me to tell you that she has gotten her life in order and is returning to the Roleplay with a new character.

All these words came straight from her mouth.

**Lady Rika** · 10-23-2008, 09:20 PM

Why thank you Xeim for that lovely introduction and yes all these words came from me and all I say is true. So my dears thank you for understanding that I had life to attend but never forgot about TFF, it is too special to me. And since Xeim is also special to me I am continuing with a new character because my old one was a flop and under-developed. So without further adue my new character!

Name: Belladonna Thrace (Belladonna is another term for Deadly Nightshade)
Age (of death): 14
Current Age: 24
Birthday: December 10th
Birthplace: Wales
Hair Color: Dark blonde
Eye Color: Emerald Green
Blood Type: O
Gender: Female
Height: 5’4
Weight: 124lbs
Zanpakuto name: Himei sono yorukaze (Screech of the Nightingale)
Zanpakuto element: N/A
Occupation: Academy Student
Shinigami fighting Specialty: Kidou, Swordsmanship
Shinigami Fighting Minor: Hand to Hand
Standard Specialties: Spells, endurance and attack
Personality: Belladonna is a very quiet, shy girl who prefers to not talk to others because in her opinion they won’t like her anyways. She is actually afraid of them most of the time so looking away or down at them seems to be her defense against anyone noticing her, also why she sits in the back so she isn’t noticed. Shyness aside she is very sweet favoring to watch her neighbors or just observe life in general with a quiet calmness around her. Belladonna on occasion will watch the other academy soul reapers ones she “knew” or accomplished soul reapers train or tell stories. She likes to listen and wants to help out but in the end that would require talking which no one would want to hear.
Appearance: Always said to be a cute girl Belladonna was blessed with a pretty face which is normally hidden with her hair as she hangs her head frequently. She is averaged shaped with long hair that is just a little above her butt. She never cared much for her appearance though her mother fussed over her when she was alive. Trying to get her to be proud of her appearance and try to get boys attention but that was another thing she didn’t care for.
Background: Belladonna means deadly nightshade in plant terminology, her mother was an avid planter who seemed to fancy the poisonous herb. Preferring to be called shady over her dramatic, despised real name or at least at home she was called so. Belladonna went to a strict school in Wales where she grew up so nicknames were never used. All her cram school was for her own good as her mother would say, so she would grow up and be able to “make something of herself” as her mother would say.
She’d lived in the same place for as long as she could remember and had the same friends for nearly that long. Usually active and energetic that all changed when “Shady” was framed for something related to her best friend and a new girl who had came to their school. Belladonna didn’t even know what was going on until the new girl hit her and the fight broke out. She ended up crawling away with a broken rib and bloodied mouth, and when she returned from the hospital everyone was under the impression that she was a double crosser who would spread lies and say cruel things behind peoples back. Even her own best friend turned against her. The fights that occurred frequently with her against other girl eventually got her pulled out of school and into home schooling. She never won any of the fights she got in, not one. She never got the chance to defend herself or even speak up to tell the truth, her own mother didn’t even believe her. So in the end she just stopped talking all together unless it was really needed. For fear of saying something that would end up possibly causing the same thing to happen again, as well as acquiring friendships.
At least she got to be called “Shady” when she was home that was one of the things she tried to think of as a plus but all her spirit and energy was gone from the hurt and betrayal of nearly everyone she loved.

When “Shady” was fourteen she was walking home late from the movies when a few of the boys from her old school started following her. They shouted crude comments but didn’t chase her though she was very much afraid Belladonna did not say anything back to them or call out for help. Finally she decided to run across the street to just get away from them when a car came flying down the street. Supposedly their headlights were broken and couldn’t see her but Belladonna figured they were just speeding or didn’t care. They hit her full on not even stopping to see what happened to her, though they most likely didn’t even notice. The boys though ran over to her while another called an ambulance. She died there in the street.
Now years later her idea of heaven was very different then the stories her mother had told her. Some people were in poverty and that shocked her. Shady soon came to live with these people, in a one room shaft she got a nearby neighbor to build for her. Living alone was hard as was getting food. Mostly she ate when she went to the academy and those were her meals for the day which she was fine with. The reason she decided to be a Shinigami was a little unusual even in her own mind she questioned it often but now that she got a fresh start she vowed never to be the weakling she had been before. Though she never speaks up in class or is even noticed Belladonna does well in her classes and looks forward to it everyday. It was an escape, this new world was so different then she’d expected and that in itself amazed her.

I must say that I was a little surprised when I saw your name on the last posted. Haven't seen you in months or longer in the thread or club and well my eyes in the other areas of the forum are less than I wished at times. Needless to say it is good to see that you are back and going to be RPing again. Since you're back will you be returning to the TFF Royalty as well?

Since she is joining us at this critical junction with the characters will see just simply be making her Zanpakuto post and picking up from there Xeim? Or were you going to have her do a little more than that?

Well don't I sound all weird tonight, I guess Code Geass is rubbing off on me. Welcome back Rika, sound a little more normal. ^^;

Thanks Andromeda its nice to see you too. Its nice to see that everybody understands that life happens and I finally have got my life in order...and yes I did instruct Xeim to call me a wuss. Heh heh. ^^;

And yes I would love to return to Royalty and im surprised that you'd let me return especially because of my absence.

I know this is a critical time to be returing in the roleplay but because of my character it will make it a little easier. The whole shy/quiet thing really works out surprisingly.
But most of it is up to Xeim when it comes to little details.

However you manage it I'm not too worried about it. Just asking to know what I should expect in the post that is to come from you. But yeah, shy and quiet can help. Didn't even realize you were there until suddenly you're next to us. Well depending on how soon everyone posts we'll be moving again I suspect. I was almost figuring I'd be one of the last ones to make a post since I was taking a week to write it, but I guess I was just getting hopeful that people would jump on the opportunity to do something that wasn't classes. Oh well.

And yes Rika you are always welcome in the Royalty. No one ever leaves permanently, you just get moved to the guest list or however I have it worded. Simply put you can come and go as you please, though I would much prefer to be told when you are going. Coming is as simple as posting saying you're back.

**Lady Rika** · 10-25-2008, 10:15 PM

Yes I understand, I don't wanna do that just run off and come back whenever the time strikes me. Its so cruel to my friends and...lets just say I never meant to do any of that. But I've returned now and am happy for it and can't wait to post. Might take me a day or two but I'll get right on it tonight after I get off MSN.
