This journal has seen much abuse.

Pages warped and wrinkled from water, much of the letters have smeared and mutated into unrecognizable characters. The entire first half of the tome is illegible now.

The cover has fared little better. What the original colour is is impossible to guess, so stained is it, but two distinct features still remain: one are the scorch marks strung violently across the surface, almost as if they were the result of a bitter, vindictive act; and the other is the dribbling of some brilliant green substance along the bottom edge. It seems to emit a faint glow in dim lighting.

Now that Mackerel's a teen, it's time for a rite of passage: her first (part-time) job! (If you're curious about what sorts of businesses are in the town, or would like to suggest some, just ask.)

Does (s)he flip burgers? Wash cars? Walk around with a billboard? How does (s)he get to work, and how does (s)he get along with co-workers? Do his/her...unusual...abilities cause any problems there?

:: Rules & Regulations ::

This journal is going to be kept a little differently. There shall be NO Role-Playing going on here! The posts will consist of two things: prompts and 'abstracts' of RP. Any RP that goes on at Elf's home have to be posted there. If you are dropping off a gift -Kerel loves gifts-, then drop it off at the Home thread. Anything that is posted here and not supposed to be here will be asked to be deleted. If this is the case, I will post what was written here in the other thread. I request that you do as I ask.

:: NO RP in this Journal :: I want to keep this journal strictly for prompts and 'abstracts' or shortened descriptions of Mackerel RP (non without her involved in it).

:: Guardian ::

User ImageName :: (Classified)
Called :: Elf
Gender :: Female
Species :: Human
Age :: A woman does not tell her age... (between 20-25 years old)

Occupation :: Recently Graduated College Student: Pilot-for-hire, Amateur Archaeologist
Personality :: Usually, Elf is a very happy kind of person; cheerful with bright eyes. She is usually very curious, but many plans are thwarted from her extreme clumsiness. She isn't just slightly off her rocker, the woman is a walking time-bomb when it comes to how clumsy she is. At this point, she has accepted it; though her tendency to fail has started to eat away at her self-confidence. When it comes to her studies and flying, though, Elf is not clumsy or a failure. She gains a kind of professional attitude that allows her to succeed in those two subjects.

Appearance ::
-- :: -- Height :: 4'10.5''
-- :: -- Weight :: (Classified)
-- :: -- Skin :: Tannish
-- :: -- Eyes :: Golden-brown
-- :: -- Hair :: Short, brown/red with teal streaks
-- :: -- Clothes :: Elf's clothes change, she doesn't wear the same clothes every day. Usually, she is seen in a pilot's goggles, cargo pants, boots, and a shirt. While in her house, she can many times be seen wearing her prized penguin slippers.

History :: Elf was an only child who grew up in the suburbs. She was always a kind child, an interested in reading. One day her father took her to an airshow and the girl was hooked: she wanted to be a pilot. Her life's goal followed that dream. Eventually, the girl turned into a woman, and she moved out on her own. Her parents gave her the money; Elf bought a one-story house with a basement, and a lot of land ? enough for her very own runway and hangar. She also gathered some very interesting pets around her.

Special Abilites :: Doesn't really have any. Is a pilot. Is a little sensitive to radio-waves - a by-product of all her flying.

:: Photo Records ::


User ImageCert :: Uncert
Elf found a fallen messenger one day when her plane decided to crash emergency land by the mountains. Determined to not ruin her day, the human went exploring and found the dear creature. Accidentally, she ended up sacrificing a bottle of radiactive waste. It was anything but a decent sacrifice, but it was accepted by the Herald.

User ImageCert :: Uncert
It was August.... the gypsies were hosting a party, and the first night a small girl walked in unattended. She had pale white hair, her skin was light, bright blue eyes.... and strangest of all, glowing-green phantom wings. She knew Elf was her guardian, but even at this age had an astounding amount of independence; strange.

:: Pets of the House ::

~{ Random Pets }-

User Image Name :: Atalanta
Species :: Kochii
Size :: Large rabbit (not jackrabbit)
Communication :: Is actually really quiet. She usually emits little squeaks and something that could be termed as purring.
Notes :: Atalanta is very shy, and doesn't like the sun/light very much do to her large eyes. She is somewhat like a bat, except she isn't blind and her wings are made of feathers.
Sleeps :: On the bed

User Image Name :: Azhure
Species :: Dach
Size :: German Shephard
Communication :: He sounds very much like a dog. Barks, yips, howls, and growls; you name it!
Notes :: Azhure is very playful, and many times demands attention. If he doesn't get it, he'll just try harder... sometimes that can be a game as well. This dach is very loyal, though. He'll follow you around like a tail sometimes.
Sleeps :: On a mat by the back door

User Image Name :: Minerva
Species :: (Fuzzy Slipper) Dog
Size :: Lab
Communication :: Sounds like, well, a dog. There is nothing unnatural about her except she was 'born' from a slipper (but don't tell her that).
Notes :: Minerva is a sweet dog. She loves people, and is always trying to jump up on them to lick their face. Not as active as Azhure, she prefers to lay in the sun and appreciate the gentleness of life.
Sleeps :: At the foot of Elf's bed

User Image Name :: Dreeh
Species :: Cirque (Tiger)
Size :: Large House Cat
Communication :: Does just about all the kitty sounds. That includes meows, purrs, growls, yowls, and rather audible snuffles. Usually, though Dreeh prefers quieter sounds of those listed above.
Notes :: She is a very happy-like tiger-kitty. She prefers to play than fight, and is generally quite guiet... except for that elusive bell on her tail which does not seem to be quiet nor want to be removed.
Sleeps :: on an installed windowsil

User Image Name :: Spyte
Species ::
Size :: Medium-size Dog
Communication :: He barks and yips and whines and growls and pants, all like a dog. Spyte is not afraid to make noise, and will clearly explain to you his wants.
Notes :: Never goes anywhere without his scarf or bone... they are his toys (his being the key word there)
Sleeps :: outside, under the awning

User Image Name :: Piff
Species :: Mouse
Size :: Mouse/Gerbil
Communication :: Mostly just squeaks, but Piff can do a little more huffs and snarls every so often.
Notes :: He wears a big polka-dot bow all the time, and you can see it... if you find him. Piff came with the house, and lives in a little hole in the wall. Don't worry, though, he's pretty clean, has a mini-litter box and everything.
Sleeps :: In his mouse-hole

~{ Elemental Dragon Spirits }-


User Image Name :: Pou Fisaei
Species :: Elemental Dragon Spirit (Air)
Size :: Ferret
Communication :: Pretty silent. When he makes sound, it is hard to tell, for it sounds like a breeze. The loudest noise he can make is a kind of squeaky whistle.
Notes :: He doesn't sport any wings, but Fisaei floats around on air, literally. His sleek body also allows him to fit into many places. As such, he is generally very calm and tries to help out where he can.
Sleeps :: On the bookshelf

User Image Name :: Iambe
Species :: Elemental Dragon Spirit (Water)
Size :: Ferret
Communication :: A little more vocal than her brother Fisaei. Iambe makes noises that sound more like a babbling brook, and she likes to chitter-chatter away. It gets really freaky when she makes sounds like bubbles popping.
Notes :: As before, she doesn't have any wings. Unlike her bro, she cannot use the actual air to allow her to remain aloft. Instead, she can use the water that is in the air as a kind of 'surface'. If the air is really dry (like a desert), then Iambe cannnot float around.
Sleeps :: On or in the fishtank

User Image Name :: Pyrozoe (Pyr)
Species :: Elemental Dragon Spirit (Fire)
Size :: Ferret
Communication :: Pyr likes to make noises. He has the same chittering and chattering as the other Elemental Dragon Spirits, but he always has an underlying sound like fire crackling and devouring whatever is in his path.
Notes :: Pyr likes to go anywhere he can and hates to be tied down. He uses the heat in the air to help elevate him in the typical EDS floating.
Sleeps :: Oven or stove

User Image Name :: Silic
Species :: Elemental Dragon Spirit (Earth)
Size :: Ferret
Communication :: Silic's tone of communication is mostly grumble-sounding barks, squeaks, and sighs. She is generally slow and flowing with her sounds, and it is by the pitches she uses that you can tell her mood.
Notes :: Doesn't like to float much, Silic prefers to run, climb, and dig. If she needs to, she'll use the dirt and dust in the air to buffet her floating.
Sleeps :: In the garden or in the tree

~{ Sentinels of the Four Winds }-


User Image Name :: Rho'en
Species :: Byakko Sentinel
Size :: Young Tiger
Communication :: Outwardly, she speaks in the usual purring and growling. But, she can also speak to Elf, Mackerel, and Arrakis, through a kind of mind-speech.
Notes :: Rho can 'disappear' if she wants, and goes into her own little world, but still guards the house like any other Sentinel. She's also loyal and playful.
Sleeps :: under the tree or in her own world

User Image Name :: Bubba
Species :: Genbu Sentinel
Size :: A horse
Communication :: Outwordly, he is mostly silent. He can make a dry hiss like many other turtles. But, he can also speak to Elf, Mackerel, and Arrakis, through a kind of mind-speech.
Notes :: Bubba can 'disappear' if he wants, and goes into his own little world, but still guards the house like any other Sentinel. He's also lazy and quite disgruntled.
Sleeps :: On roof or in his own world

User Image Name :: Apep
Species :: Herald - Snake
Size :: Coral Snake
Communication :: Outwardly, he is almost absolutely silent. He can speak through mindspeak to Bobby, Bubba, and Rho'en.
Notes :: He is pretty lazy, always lazing in the sun, and don't even bother to try and dislodge him at night.
Sleeps :: Under a heat-lamp
.


User Image Name :: Bobby
Species :: Herald - Pig
Size :: Pig
Communication :: Outwardly, she sounds like a pig with grunts, snorts, gurgles, squeals, and so forth. She can speak through mindspeak to Apep, Bubba, and Rho'en.
Notes :: She is pretty out-going, alway running around. She has a pretty mellow attitude.
Sleeps :: In the garden

:: Gracious Thanks ::

Truly, this journal, especially Mackerel, would not exist without the love and support from many friends. Unofficially, I would suppose, Kerel has had many aunts and uncles; before she even came in to existence. There are many people, more than I can even remember, who deserve thanks. For all those unnamed here, I would like you to know that you are still loved!

Allure :: Donated goldies and stuck by me. She never allowed me to give up.
Black Duvet :: I couldn't have done it without her, truly. She gave up her inventory when mine wasn't enough to win the auction.
Chibi Hige :: He is always there to whisper nice things in my ear. He donated goldies and well-wishes.
Coronaviridae :: She knew my desire for a Herald well, and in the previous auction pitched in a lot despite having her own quest. Also made the AWESOME sacrifice item for Mackerel!
Eamane :: Has been there since the beginning, we were questors together for over a year. She always offered kind words, and helped out in the auction as well.
Sarielle :: Despite being the owner of the shop now, Sari is a good friend. She couldn't help directly (had to be fair), but she was never short in giving encouragement.
Sian :: Also donated to my dream. Sian is a little strange, but a great cheerleader.
Suboshi-sama :: Also been there since the beginning, Subo and I have been great to each other. She is always there with me to offer her assistance and support.
