Sellesion Amu Tsukiyomi-sama Sellesion Amu Tsukiyomi-sama Sellesion Amu Tsukiyomi-sama 「 It is a bit....but at least it could be on anything I chose.
So I chose something I know rather a lot about; aspergers.
I just have no motivation to write it... 」 Oooooh Smart idea. 3nodding I know how that can be.. *had no motivation for anything today* 「 I BARELY managed to finish the paper in time to be about ten minutes late for the technical deadline and the teacher had decided to wait for me, so I still managed to turn the paper in.
In no way, should that have worked. 」 Oh wow! Talk about a close call. O: Here's hoping you did well! ^^ 「 Yeah, tell me about it...
Same here.
At least I know I won't fail the class.
That paper was worth 300 points out of...about 700 possible for the entire semester. 」 Oh Geeze! I had a paper like that once. ORZ. So glad that's over. And for sure, even if you didn't get 100%, anything is better than a 0. 「 Yep.
At least It'll be better than getting a zero... 」

Sellesion Amu Tsukiyomi-sama 「 Good.
That....what?
Then again, my mom STILL has a rule about guys not being allowed upstairs....
Mostly so she "doesn't have to explain to their parents".
Which is silly.
But yeah....I think that is especially true when the child in question has many issues....like me.
*sigh*
Oh well.
Just have to find a way to force the issue without causing mass chaos, is all. 」 Yep. Crazy mom. >w< I see I see. I can kinda understand that though I think... *nods* Interesting how much the human element compliments things.. considering that it really varies from person to person. Good point. *nods* 「 Well, yeah....but it doesn't mean I like it any...
I mean, I'm 21, give me a bit more "rope".
Human element compliments things?
*doesn't understand what that means* 」

*doesn't understand what that means* 」 Oh, I agree on that. Not saying that it isn't still uncomfortable and constricting. *nod nod* Well like, for example, a situation may be simple and black and white, but when you introduce humans to it, suddenly everything could change, and there are practically countless ways it could turn out. Because one person might act in that situation, very differently from another, or another, or another. So, one mom, might treat her kids one way, while, another mom, might treat/raise the very same kids another way. And the since everyone is different, and you add another "wild card" by having different children in each situation to interact with each different parent, the combinations are endless. People complicate things.

Amu Tsukiyomi-sama Rugiagele Amu Tsukiyomi-sama 「 I turned in all the papers I had due (3), took my one true final and was given things in my third "Final".
The teacher of that class is returning to JApan, so she was giving her things away.
I got origami paper, huroshiki fabric, a book and caligraphy items.
It's been a pretty good day so far!
^_^ 」 Sounds nice. 「 It was!
Though I'm sad she won't be on campus next semester.
She was a really nice person. 」 What did she teach?

Quote: Where were you...?
The question drifted through your mind as you rested in the dark void. You had been walking and then...
Your memory blurred away to nothing. You could not remember exactly what had happened. You had slipped on something and fallen. Then there was nothing but darkness.
That was not exactly true, however. The daily noise of people nearby met your ears. You could feel cool cement on your back and the heat of a sun warming your face. You opened your eyes and stared up into the aqua sky. White clouds drifted by like ships at sea. A breeze playfully laced through your hair.
You lifted yourself up into a sitting position and looked around. Two buildings flanked you on either side as they made up an alleyway. Your vision blurred and flickered causing you to grow disoriented. One moment the buildings were a plain grey and then they were golden brown brick. What the heck? Did you fall and hit your head? The back of your head was throbbing a little bit from pain.
Shakily, you stood up and bent to brush some dirt off. You stopped half way as a wave of panic washed through you. You stared down at your shaking hands, unable to look away; unable to fully comprehend what you were seeing. Wh-What?
You could see the alley floor through your hands. Your transparent hands. Your heart skipped a few beats and frantically you looked your entire body over. You were transparent. You could see through your entire body. This could not be...Were you...? You shook your head as if to somehow rid the thoughts that were now filling it. It must be a head injury. The feeble explanation did little to ease the worry and fear that was rotting away at your stomach.
The sound of laughter and chatter made you look up from your trembling form. Ahead, the flow of people on the main street passed without pause at the mouth of the alleyway. The lively forms drew you forward like a moth to the flame. You had to get help. You were obviously not well.
You stepped out of the alleyway and your vision once again flickered. You saw the crowded street, but then saw another street. A familiar street with a few cars rustling pass as a few pedestrians walked the sidewalks. The vision disappeared as soon as it had come. Again you were back in the city of golden brick buildings and crowded streets full of people
Shaking your head, you tried to focus on what was around you. You had caused a break in the flow. The people who saw you froze as if turned into a statue. Whispers began to spread as they took in your incorporeal form. The word "shade" slipped from one mouth to another. A few glared at you angrily and you took a step back into the alley from the scrutiny of the crowd. Something was not right.
There was a disturbance in the crowd as a guard pushed his way through. He wore armor that seemed to glow light blue in the rays of the sun. A visor covered his eyes and he clutched a spear in one hand. He was making a beeline for you and instinct made you take another step back.
"Halt right there." The guard ordered as he lowered his spear until the tip was leveled at your chest. "Living Shades are prohibited here and absolutely will not be tolerated in the sanctity of this city!"
You held up your hands, backing away as the soldier grew closer. "I...I'm sorry. I don't know what's going on or...what's happening?" Your confusion mixed with your fear as you continued to step back, wary of the sharp tip of the spearhead. The annoyed crowd grew restless behind the guard. You could see the guard adjusting his grip on the spear, getting ready to lung. Heart pounding, your fight or flight instinct kicked in. You ran.
The guard cried out behind you as you took off down the alley and into the maze of paths that were hidden between the streets. The noise of your heart pounding away and the sound of the footsteps from the guard behind you filled your ears as you ran. He shouted some more, but you could not make out the words. You just ran and ran; unaware of where you were going.
You turned a corner, ran down the alley, and turned another corner. It was a labyrinth and only the fear of the guard behind you kept you going deeper into it. Breathing ragged, you pushed off the coarse brick wall as you made another turn.
Uh oh.
Skidding to a stop, you stared up at the tall wall in front of you. Of all choices, you had to choose the path that ran into a dead end. Breathing hard, you whirled as you looked for somewhere to hide. Absolutely nothing. You muttered a small curse as you clutched at a cramp in your side and turned to face where you had came.
The guard was there, breathing hard, but ready for action. His armor clanked as he wiped at his cheek before he lowered the spear once more.
"No where to go, shade." The last word was said almost like an insult.
If you weren't so breathless, you probably would have said something in agreement. Your mind whirled as half of it tried to figure out what was going on, while the other half concentrated on getting your breathing back to normal.
The guard approached you once more, his face like stone.
"I..." You finally began, but the rest of your sentence was cut off by a new voice.
"Now this is an interesting sight,"
The soft voice drifted from the entrance to the dead end. The guard spun around to face the new person, clearly as surprised as you were.
It was a young girl. Her hair was as white as the clouds above and her eyes as pure as the blue sea. She wore a simple light blue sundress that shifted ever so often in the breeze. A small smile lit her mouth as she gazed at the situation before her with mild amusement.
The guard paled slightly and immediately lowered his spear. His back straightened as he addressed her, "My apologies, ma'am. Er, uh, it's just this Living Shade here was-"
"I saw the entire thing," Her eyes twinkled with amusement as she walked passed the guard and towards you. "I think it best to allow me to handle this situation," the girl winked at the guard, "Or perhaps you wish to make this person into a new citizen of this city?"
The soldier's cheeks flushed slightly from the playful scolding of the girl, but clearly her words were a dismissal. He bowed his head, "I-I leave this matter in your care then. Ma'am." With a quick stride, the embarrassed soldier disappeared from the alleyway as fast as he could.
Your head throbbed with pain and disorientation. During the conversation between the two strangers, the world had flickered and changed again. At one point, the two before you were transparent and you were the solid one. A plane roared overhead and a few kids laughed as they ran through the alleyway to their house. Then, the kids and the plane disappeared, replaced by the empty skies now currently above you. Your form was as transparent as ever.
The girl waited until the guard had rounded the corner before turning to you. She gazed at your transparent form, her face growing serious.
"You must be terribly confused right now," she commented, "I am afraid you slipped out of your realm, o' living one."
"My realm?" You're mind struggled to make out what she meant.
The Phantom nodded, "This is a city for the dead and only the dead. The Living are not allowed here and should one slip through, the guards will turn them into a citizen to rectify the break in the law. Just as that solider was about to do to you."
This...was impossible. Your expression said as much, but the girl's serious expression did not change. You looked down at your transparent hands. This place was a ghost realm? Your head was aching even more. This couldn't be happening.
"Sometimes the barrier between realms are weaker in areas. It is how you slipped through," the Phantom crossed her arms in thought, "But fear not, I can return you to whence you came."
Hearing her words broke you from your stupor, "How? I mean, please if you would. I just want to go home." To that other place where everything made sense. Your head felt like someone was taking a sledgehammer to it.
Another mildly amused smile formed on her lips, "Very well then. Forget and return to your world, Living One." Her hand began to glow with a smooth gentle white light. With a wink, she lifted it and pushed you.
Your vision blackened as you began to fall back and the world reeled by. Any thoughts melted away as darkness consumed you once more.
Where were you...?
The question haunted your mind like a memory. For a few moments, you lay still in the comforting darkness. The back of your head throbbed and you grudgingly opened an eye. A plane flew overhead and cars passed by.
"Are you all right?" A stranger peered down at you.
You wobbled to your feet and rubbed the back of your head with a small wince. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just slipped on something." Your cheeks flushed from slight embarrassment. You weren't even sure what you had tripped on. You had been walking, then bam. You were on the ground.
The stranger nodded and walked away, her light blue dress catching in the breeze.
You brushed the dirt off of you and started to walk the other way. A nagging feeling made you frown and you had the oddest feeling that you were forgetting something important. Unsure why you were doing it, you turned around and searched for the stranger in blue. However, she had already disappeared from sight. Shrugging if off, you continued down the street once more.
--- Phantom Anon (whoaaa. your stories are awesome! thank you so much! i want to know more about the golden city of the dead. you're so mysterious phantom, mentioning all these fantastic places, or interesting pasts, hinting and never telling more. i want to know more about the golden city of the dead, though i doubt you'll tell me.) *i couldn't get the image of that girl out of my head all day. i couldn't remember where i saw her though. it was like she was out of a dream. but she couldn't have been. i suppose i'll never know...*

skylarklovesme Oh, I don't read staff alerts. What was it? We had to fight off dragons and slay them by matching to the roll that they drew on their post. If you posted before the dragon was slain, then you got an item. There were 9 different dragons with different individual items. It was pretty fun

Quote: From: An anonymous benefactor Message: A gift appears in you car one evening, with a note. It reads: 'Don't die. It is against the rules. All of our rules.' The cryptic note is typed, not signed anywhere, and found inside your locked car. No one suspicious appears to be around. You look closer, Each ribbon is marked with a number, 1 through 6, but no explanation is given. You think of calling the bomb squad, but no ticking noises emanate, and the box doesn't respond to your refrigerator magnet. Hesitantly, you open it. It is not at all what you expect... A puzzle =o *turns the box over and over searching for clues* This will require a lot of analysis ninja

Phantom Anon KuroKageHane I swear. You've done yourself this time Phantom. To be honest, this is the first time I've read your letter so up close. All the other ones I've just skimmed through. And I have to say, I was missing out on a lot of things. The imagery is just breathtaking. I don't even want to describe it because to me, it probably won't be enough to satisfy how much I want to express how stunning this piece is. I thank you for sending me this! I'm happy that you decided to send it to me! ^^ Don't be shy Phantom! Your pieces are always brilliant! heart
