ENTERIN' FOR BEAT YO
Your Name: Divena
Beat's Talent: If it’s possible to have a different talent for each form, I would say Reaper for his reaper form, because it encompasses what he is in that state. Loyalty would be for his normal form, because it is his love and loyalty for his sister that drives him forward for the most part. If I can only have one talent, I would say Loyalty for the reason I said above.
Beat's Home: Again, if two homes are possible, Nightmare for his reaper form, and Dream for his normal form. Nightmare because the reapers are the “villains” of the game, and dream because Bump is essentially a good hearted person. If only one home is possible, I would say dream for the reason mentioned above.

Okay, so my folks keep nagging me to stop hanging around with my skateboard, yo. They keep saying things like “get another hobby.” Like skateboarding ain’t a hobby. Maybe that makes sense, yo. So… what? I’ll bet they’d want me to do something totally different from what I usually do. So, I should prolly stick around inside, yo.
Beat thought long and hard (a whole five minutes, yo!) about the problem before he came up with the perfect solution. That weekend, he went down to the mall and, using all of his saved up allowance money, he bought a game system at the store. That was the easy part. Sort of.
Next came which games to pick. He was thrilled when he found that there were actually video games that simulated skateboarding. Score! Now he could make his folks happy and pursue something he loved anyway! That game definitely went onto the pile.
Moving haphazardly through the store, he tossed a few more games down, mostly ones that looked interesting. A little more thought went into his choices and he put a couple back so that he could pick up some two player games. Maybe his sis would like to play with him. That could be fun, and if she was doing it too, the ‘rents couldn’t complain, right? Right, yo!
Satisfied with his choices, he paid and headed home. By the time his folks got home from work, he already had the system hooked up. Okay, so Rhyme helped him set it up, but the point was that all the wire do-hickies where connected to the TV and the two of them were happily killing zombies.
Beat missed the annoyed expressions his parents exchanged when they discovered his new “hobby.” This wasn’t what they had meant. In fact, they weren’t even certain if this was an improvement. But, it was a change, so that was good, right? Ah well, it was a battle to fight on another day.
His sister, on the other hand, was thrilled to have something to play with her big brother, even if it was a little graphic.
