I had lost direction of where home was a few times, but I had not seen or heard any sign of my mother or father for three painful years.<br />I walked along the sun-splashed sand, waiting for another town or village to slip over the horizon.

I recommend listening to it. ^^<br /><br />Onto the drawing! I've been working on this for about a month ha~~ Exams have gotten in the way, but I've been able to finish it bit by bit. I realise Gaara is majorly out of character here, but what I was going for was more of a metaphorical kind of version of him, after Naruto defeats him back in the good old Chunin exams. He's been in the darkness for so long, and Naruto turns his head and helps him to see all the wonderful colours of the world again. I've been learning about depression for my course recently, as I do psychology, and I read that when people are depressed, they almost see the world in black and white. So I thought this drawing could be kind of symbolic of a lonely soul being pulled out of the darkness, and remembering- actually, the world is a wonderful place. You just have to want to see it, and look in the right places. If you don't want to see that, then you won't. Which is why depression ends up being a bit of an endless spiral, unless you, or someone else in this case, pulls you out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/><br /><br />Sorry, that went really deep there. 8I But anyway, that's where I was going with the song as well. It's just all about fresh starts, forgetting what made you hurt in the past and moving on to a brighter future. &lt;3 <br /><br />If anyone is wondering, this is a purely traditional art. I draw with pencil, ink it, and colour it in with Letraset Promarkers, pencils, Fineliners, white and silver gel pens. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/> <br /><br /><sub>Aside from all this, the people living across the road are the most disrespectful gits I have ever encountered. It's still exam period, <i>they</i> might have finished, but they <i>know</i> damn well it is still exam period and they are having a very loud house party. For all they know, I could have an exam tomorrow at 9am. I don't. But I could. I still have one exam left, so I need to get sleep for revision. They did this a few weeks ago, and it was so loud someone called the police (I'm pretty sure they thought it was me because they caught me death staring at them woops...) I just really don't like them. &gt;8I </sub><br /><br />*Emma used passive aggression* Hmm sorry about that, I just really needed to rant that to people outside the situation. Seriously.

I recommend listening to it. ^^<br /><br />Onto the drawing! I've been working on this for about a month ha~~ Exams have gotten in the way, but I've been able to finish it bit by bit. I realise Gaara is majorly out of character here, but what I was going for was more of a metaphorical kind of version of him, after Naruto defeats him back in the good old Chunin exams. He's been in the darkness for so long, and Naruto turns his head and helps him to see all the wonderful colours of the world again. I've been learning about depression for my course recently, as I do psychology, and I read that when people are depressed, they almost see the world in black and white. So I thought this drawing could be kind of symbolic of a lonely soul being pulled out of the darkness, and remembering- actually, the world is a wonderful place. You just have to want to see it, and look in the right places. If you don't want to see that, then you won't. Which is why depression ends up being a bit of an endless spiral, unless you, or someone else in this case, pulls you out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/><br /><br />Sorry, that went really deep there. 8I But anyway, that's where I was going with the song as well. It's just all about fresh starts, forgetting what made you hurt in the past and moving on to a brighter future. &lt;3 <br /><br />If anyone is wondering, this is a purely traditional art. I draw with pencil, ink it, and colour it in with Letraset Promarkers, pencils, Fineliners, white and silver gel pens. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/> <br /><br /><sub>Aside from all this, the people living across the road are the most disrespectful gits I have ever encountered. It's still exam period, <i>they</i> might have finished, but they <i>know</i> damn well it is still exam period and they are having a very loud house party. For all they know, I could have an exam tomorrow at 9am. I don't. But I could. I still have one exam left, so I need to get sleep for revision. They did this a few weeks ago, and it was so loud someone called the police (I'm pretty sure they thought it was me because they caught me death staring at them woops...) I just really don't like them. &gt;8I </sub><br /><br />*Emma used passive aggression* Hmm sorry about that, I just really needed to rant that to people outside the situation. Seriously. I am going to have to wear earplugs. AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FO' DAT!!<br /><br />Hahah!

Other half of this building is used for a laboratory which is opened from 8am-4pm. Go here if you feel a need for creativity or a romantic night out. If you need to mix anything together to create a new item you can not find naturally the Laboratory is your place! Its a very long walk to the Observatory along with some nasty stairs you have to climb, but its all worth it. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>2</b><br /> The Main mountain, where you can collect anything your heart desires. There are 60 levels going all the way to the top of the mountain where there is a opening with a beautiful view of the whole island. We don't suggest walking outside the mountain top due to the heavy winds, yet it is a beautiful view from inside the cave. There are 50 bottom levels going all the way to the bottom of the mountain to a very wide open dark lake. Which is a beautiful spot for fishing. All of the stairs should be clears so you are able to climb. Yet some might be covered by rocks which you might have to brake. Be aware of pitfalls which will send you down further, or geysers which will send you up the mountain. The further you go down the mountain you might come in contact with more mushrooms. We don't encourage you touching them unless you can tell the difference between different species. We have people to walk the mines encase something does happen, but we do hope you be very careful while adventuring in theses mines. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>3</b><br /> This is the mining district. Where everyone lives, breaths and speaks about mining. If you ever have any issues about mining these are the people who could help you. Ebus is the name of the town in the middle. The building are all made from the rocks pulled out of the mountain, a rich red color. <br /> Up the road to your right is another cave entrance. This leads to a different cave which is made for the more advanced miners. There is 100 levels down leading to a huge cave filled with crystals. Along the way traveling down your might come across some old per-historical cave paintings please do not touch! This mine is more difficult do to. The over abundance of geysers which will send you flying up the levels. Along with some very nasty rocks which if you hit with a hammer will shoot out poison gas. If you can not tell the difference from rocks we ask you to please stay away from this cave. This is not for first timers, although if you want to find very expensive items in the mines you will most likely come across it in this cave in the lower levels. <br /> Up the road to your left the big white house would be where you will refine all your items from the mines. The Jewelry/ Blacksmith shop will be open from 8am-6pm. If you ever have difficulty finding a item you would like, you can bring all your questions to the blacksmith. He will be happy to give you any information you need. Also if you need to upgrade a item you have he will be your man. If you also have a question about up grading any items he can help you with that also. <br /> Down the road you can see a wooden building. That would be the carpenters house. If you would like to upgrade your house or add onto your house she would be your lady. She also sells wood that she gets imported from Serseri Island, so if you would like to build your own additions on. She also owns the woods that you see behind her house. Please do not chop down the trees in her woods. We have no control over anything that she might do to you if you are caught in her woods. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>4</b><br /> Surfers Paradise is a beach with very rough waves. This beach really isn't for swimming in due to the huge waves. Also we would like you to be very safe while surfing due to the rocky areas surrounding the beach. This is a very good beach to find seashells at, due to the heavy waves bringing in different things from the ocean. <br /> To your right you will see the hot springs on the island. The hot springs are open all the time, encase you are in a urgent need of some self relaxation. The pools are at a very nice warm temperature in a very nice setting. You do not have to pay to use the hot springs here, but we do ask for a small donation to help run the springs itself. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>5</b><br /> Itus Town is the main town on the island. This is where if you are looking for any needs you might have there is a shop for it. The shops range from Food stores, Rock collections, Flower shops and General store's. Also you will find our Library in this town and right next to it is the school house. It is always extremely busy in the streets of Itus. Also if you are sick, and need some medical help we have our doctors office there.<br /> Down the road past the town you will see one of the two Light houses on this Island. Nubble Lighthouse has to be run manually and is the second oldest light house on the island. It was newly renovated and now is a must see when vising the Island. It is a very romantic spot to see when the sun is setting just right. The light house is open from 5am-7pm. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>6</b><br /> You can see there are two very large spots on this island, these are the main squares. One has a stone design of a sun, the other has a design of a fish. These places are were the festivals will be thrown on the island. All the animal related festivals will be held where the fish is. Any other festivals that will be going on, on the island will be held on the sun. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>7</b><br /> Mermaid river is a great spot for fishing. It is also a great spot for you to be able to go swimming. You con't really find anything on the sand in this area. The rocks on the edge of the beach do collect some nice seaweed from time to time. In some of the shallow parts of the water you are able to go hand fishing! Also you can see there is a island in the middle of the river. Please don't try walking over to the island when the water freezes over in the winter time. Some of the ice is very unsafe when crossing. (If you do get across there is a cave in the middle where you can mine. There are only 20 levels which isn't a lot, but no one ever goes to that cave so who knows what you will find! Also the levels have a lot of water falls in them along with inserting plant life so be careful where you step)<br /> Up the road to your right you can see a small building and a few islands. Those are owned by the Mayor of the island. If you have any necessary questions to ask her and she is not at her office, or in the mines then she will be at her house. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>8</b><br /> If you go up the road when it splits in four you will be heading up to River of Life Church. Where you can go to pray to the Harvest Goddess and Harvest King. The Church will be open from 7am-6pm. All weddings on the Island can be held in the church or outside the church in the front in the court yard. Also the church has a grave site. Most people say the graveyard is haunted and the best time to see the ghosts is around 11pm-3am. But who really believes in ghosts right?<br /> If you go right from the fork in the road you would be heading to the Bitterroot woods. There are some nice hiking trails in the woods which will take you around to see the river along with the ocean. You can also collect wild fruits, flowers, and berries while in these woods, along with some mushrooms too. Just please don't pick anything your are unsure of. If you come across a poison berries please don't eat it. Also please do not feed the wild animals as well. Unless you want them coming home with you. You are also aloud to cut down some trees if you are in need of a lumber. <br /> When at the fork in the road if you turn left, and right before your head over the bridge you see a little white building. That is the Mill which is run by the water of the river. The Mill will be there if you need to make anything or need anything to be crushed. The Mill will be opened from 6am-11pm and closed all the time in the winter due to the river freezing. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>9</b><br /> This is the Itus board walk. When walking down the board walk you will be over powered by the great smells of all the different foods coming from all the different shops. Along this board walk you will find 5 star restaurants, Candy stores, and clothing shops. At the end of the board walk is also a great place to go fishing. Down below the board walk is Golden coast beach. This is a very great spot to go swimming in the water as well as searching the beach for any interesting object you may find. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>10</b><br /> Pier beach is the number one fishing spot on the whole island. You can also rent out a boat for the day, and go fishing or whale watching. If you own a boat this is were you could keep the boat. If you happen to pick up anything that is not worth any value to you while fishing we please ask you to throw it away properly. Please do not just throw it back into the ocean.<br /> If you go up from the beach you will be walking the streets of Aquul town. This is fishing district of the Island. Where everyone lives the life of fishing. The town is very busy around the fishing market. That is where you can buy and sells all types of fish that was caught that day. Very thing is extremely fresh and delicious! The fishing market is the very long building in the middle of the town. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>11</b><br /> Black Ridge Farms is the main farm for the whole island which is owned by the Boisson Family. Most of our food is imported from Anura Island. Yet we do get some of our fresh food from this farm, but most of the food goes to the restaurants around the island. Most of the fields that are on this farm are flower fields. The flowers get sent to the local flower shop in Itus town. Or sent to the laboratory to be made into perfume then sold at the flower shop also. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>12</b><br /> The Races, ever so often there is a animal for the whole island to join in for. You can bring any type of animal you would like to race. You just have to be able to ride it. You can also just sit and watch in the seat if racing isn't your thing. There are also some more events that are held in the racing area. <br /> Also around this area there are woods. Just be careful walking around them. There have been some recent reports that people have seen eyes watching them when walking back to the towns after the races. Be careful don't walk alone. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>13</b><br /> The great meadows is a beautiful grass lands. When walking past the meadows you can smells all the wilds flowers that are inside. You are aloud to walk threw them and gather anything you would like. Just please do not get lost while inside the meadows. This is also a great place to catch any bugs if you want to go critter catching. At night when passing by these meadows it just lights up from all the fireflies that live inside. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>14</b><br /> The train station is where you can go to the other islands. The train station never closes, and the train always runs every 2 hours. This is a great way to go and see the other islands. You can visit the different islands anytime you would like. Nomie island does not sell animals, so maybe you want to go on a trip to see the rural island of Anura. Or you could go visit the great city in Serseri Island, or go see a great concert. Also you could stop by Tojan Islands and take a long needed vacation! The world is your oyster.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>15</b><br /> This is the historical district of the island. when you first walk down the road you can see there is a small restaurant which was voted number one on the island. It over looks the beautiful view of the ocean and is very far away from all the busy streets in Itus. <br /> When you walk down the road a little more you can see City Hall. The Mayors office is inside this building. Along with a bed and breakfast. This is where you would stay if you were coming from a different island. <br /> If you walk past the City hall you come across the Cities library, and a museum. This is where you will find all the information you need on the past historical events from all the islands. Along with that it will have information on the cave paintings you might find in the levels of the mines. If you go into the museum part of it, you will might old artifacts that were discovered in the caves and around the islands. If you come across any artifacts in the island please bring them to the museum in return for a nice sum. Also in the museum you can find invention that were made on this island from our very own scientists and tinkers. <br /> At the very tip of the island there is Wyre Lighthouse. This is a very old light house and has not been restored in a very long time. It runs on its own and no one ever seems to want to go inside of it. It seems very scary from the outside and the inside is even more intimidating. This light house is only open for the maintenance workers who work inside. The worked themselves speak of ghosts being seen haunting the top of the lighthouse. Some people also say they have seen a lady with red hair standing on the railing of the lighthouse.<br /> At the very bottom of the island there is a small cave. We do not want any one stepping foot inside that cave unless granted personal permission from the mayor herself. The cave has many levels and no one has been able to find the end of it yet. The levels are very difficult and some consist with having lava in them. We do not want anyone playing around these cave, someone could get very injured. Even experts in mining are having a difficult time with these mines. SO please keep out. <br /><br />So that is Nomie Island I hope you will enjoy living here! And if you don't live here then come and visit some time! ]]></media:description>            <media:thumbnail url="http://th07.deviantart.net/fs70/150/i/2013/167/d/2/nomie_island_by_grilledandcheesed-d69asyi.png" height="109" width="150"/>            <media:thumbnail url="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/i/2013/167/d/2/nomie_island_by_grilledandcheesed-d69asyi.png" height="218" width="300"/>            <media:content url="http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/167/d/2/nomie_island_by_grilledandcheesed-d69asyi.png" height="744" width="1024" medium="image"/>

If you also have a question about up grading any items he can help you with that also. <br /> Down the road you can see a wooden building. That would be the carpenters house. If you would like to upgrade your house or add onto your house she would be your lady. She also sells wood that she gets imported from Serseri Island, so if you would like to build your own additions on. She also owns the woods that you see behind her house. Please do not chop down the trees in her woods. We have no control over anything that she might do to you if you are caught in her woods. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>4</b><br /> Surfers Paradise is a beach with very rough waves. This beach really isn't for swimming in due to the huge waves. Also we would like you to be very safe while surfing due to the rocky areas surrounding the beach. This is a very good beach to find seashells at, due to the heavy waves bringing in different things from the ocean. <br /> To your right you will see the hot springs on the island. The hot springs are open all the time, encase you are in a urgent need of some self relaxation. The pools are at a very nice warm temperature in a very nice setting. You do not have to pay to use the hot springs here, but we do ask for a small donation to help run the springs itself. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>5</b><br /> Itus Town is the main town on the island. This is where if you are looking for any needs you might have there is a shop for it. The shops range from Food stores, Rock collections, Flower shops and General store's. Also you will find our Library in this town and right next to it is the school house. It is always extremely busy in the streets of Itus. Also if you are sick, and need some medical help we have our doctors office there.<br /> Down the road past the town you will see one of the two Light houses on this Island. Nubble Lighthouse has to be run manually and is the second oldest light house on the island. It was newly renovated and now is a must see when vising the Island. It is a very romantic spot to see when the sun is setting just right. The light house is open from 5am-7pm. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>6</b><br /> You can see there are two very large spots on this island, these are the main squares. One has a stone design of a sun, the other has a design of a fish. These places are were the festivals will be thrown on the island. All the animal related festivals will be held where the fish is. Any other festivals that will be going on, on the island will be held on the sun. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>7</b><br /> Mermaid river is a great spot for fishing. It is also a great spot for you to be able to go swimming. You con't really find anything on the sand in this area. The rocks on the edge of the beach do collect some nice seaweed from time to time. In some of the shallow parts of the water you are able to go hand fishing! Also you can see there is a island in the middle of the river. Please don't try walking over to the island when the water freezes over in the winter time. Some of the ice is very unsafe when crossing. (If you do get across there is a cave in the middle where you can mine. There are only 20 levels which isn't a lot, but no one ever goes to that cave so who knows what you will find! Also the levels have a lot of water falls in them along with inserting plant life so be careful where you step)<br /> Up the road to your right you can see a small building and a few islands. Those are owned by the Mayor of the island. If you have any necessary questions to ask her and she is not at her office, or in the mines then she will be at her house. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>8</b><br /> If you go up the road when it splits in four you will be heading up to River of Life Church. Where you can go to pray to the Harvest Goddess and Harvest King. The Church will be open from 7am-6pm. All weddings on the Island can be held in the church or outside the church in the front in the court yard. Also the church has a grave site. Most people say the graveyard is haunted and the best time to see the ghosts is around 11pm-3am. But who really believes in ghosts right?<br /> If you go right from the fork in the road you would be heading to the Bitterroot woods. There are some nice hiking trails in the woods which will take you around to see the river along with the ocean. You can also collect wild fruits, flowers, and berries while in these woods, along with some mushrooms too. Just please don't pick anything your are unsure of. If you come across a poison berries please don't eat it. Also please do not feed the wild animals as well. Unless you want them coming home with you. You are also aloud to cut down some trees if you are in need of a lumber. <br /> When at the fork in the road if you turn left, and right before your head over the bridge you see a little white building. That is the Mill which is run by the water of the river. The Mill will be there if you need to make anything or need anything to be crushed. The Mill will be opened from 6am-11pm and closed all the time in the winter due to the river freezing. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>9</b><br /> This is the Itus board walk. When walking down the board walk you will be over powered by the great smells of all the different foods coming from all the different shops. Along this board walk you will find 5 star restaurants, Candy stores, and clothing shops. At the end of the board walk is also a great place to go fishing. Down below the board walk is Golden coast beach. This is a very great spot to go swimming in the water as well as searching the beach for any interesting object you may find. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>10</b><br /> Pier beach is the number one fishing spot on the whole island. You can also rent out a boat for the day, and go fishing or whale watching. If you own a boat this is were you could keep the boat. If you happen to pick up anything that is not worth any value to you while fishing we please ask you to throw it away properly. Please do not just throw it back into the ocean.<br /> If you go up from the beach you will be walking the streets of Aquul town. This is fishing district of the Island. Where everyone lives the life of fishing. The town is very busy around the fishing market. That is where you can buy and sells all types of fish that was caught that day. Very thing is extremely fresh and delicious! The fishing market is the very long building in the middle of the town. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>11</b><br /> Black Ridge Farms is the main farm for the whole island which is owned by the Boisson Family. Most of our food is imported from Anura Island. Yet we do get some of our fresh food from this farm, but most of the food goes to the restaurants around the island. Most of the fields that are on this farm are flower fields. The flowers get sent to the local flower shop in Itus town. Or sent to the laboratory to be made into perfume then sold at the flower shop also. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>12</b><br /> The Races, ever so often there is a animal for the whole island to join in for. You can bring any type of animal you would like to race. You just have to be able to ride it. You can also just sit and watch in the seat if racing isn't your thing. There are also some more events that are held in the racing area. <br /> Also around this area there are woods. Just be careful walking around them. There have been some recent reports that people have seen eyes watching them when walking back to the towns after the races. Be careful don't walk alone. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>13</b><br /> The great meadows is a beautiful grass lands. When walking past the meadows you can smells all the wilds flowers that are inside. You are aloud to walk threw them and gather anything you would like. Just please do not get lost while inside the meadows. This is also a great place to catch any bugs if you want to go critter catching. At night when passing by these meadows it just lights up from all the fireflies that live inside. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>14</b><br /> The train station is where you can go to the other islands. The train station never closes, and the train always runs every 2 hours. This is a great way to go and see the other islands. You can visit the different islands anytime you would like. Nomie island does not sell animals, so maybe you want to go on a trip to see the rural island of Anura. Or you could go visit the great city in Serseri Island, or go see a great concert. Also you could stop by Tojan Islands and take a long needed vacation! The world is your oyster.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="567" title="Bullet; Orange"/><b>15</b><br /> This is the historical district of the island. when you first walk down the road you can see there is a small restaurant which was voted number one on the island. It over looks the beautiful view of the ocean and is very far away from all the busy streets in Itus. <br /> When you walk down the road a little more you can see City Hall. The Mayors office is inside this building. Along with a bed and breakfast. This is where you would stay if you were coming from a different island. <br /> If you walk past the City hall you come across the Cities library, and a museum. This is where you will find all the information you need on the past historical events from all the islands. Along with that it will have information on the cave paintings you might find in the levels of the mines. If you go into the museum part of it, you will might old artifacts that were discovered in the caves and around the islands. If you come across any artifacts in the island please bring them to the museum in return for a nice sum. Also in the museum you can find invention that were made on this island from our very own scientists and tinkers. <br /> At the very tip of the island there is Wyre Lighthouse. This is a very old light house and has not been restored in a very long time. It runs on its own and no one ever seems to want to go inside of it. It seems very scary from the outside and the inside is even more intimidating. This light house is only open for the maintenance workers who work inside. The worked themselves speak of ghosts being seen haunting the top of the lighthouse. Some people also say they have seen a lady with red hair standing on the railing of the lighthouse.<br /> At the very bottom of the island there is a small cave. We do not want any one stepping foot inside that cave unless granted personal permission from the mayor herself. The cave has many levels and no one has been able to find the end of it yet. The levels are very difficult and some consist with having lava in them. We do not want anyone playing around these cave, someone could get very injured. Even experts in mining are having a difficult time with these mines. SO please keep out. <br /><br />So that is Nomie Island I hope you will enjoy living here! And if you don't live here then come and visit some time!<br /><div><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/i/2013/167/d/2/nomie_island_by_grilledandcheesed-d69asyi.png" alt="thumbnail" /></div> ]]></description>            </item>

The town was little more than an inn, a general store, and fifty-odd houses. It was one of the last refuges for fortune seekers and caravans on their way south to Yinn.<br /><br />The long circle around the desert took the caravans hundreds of miles out of their way, but to cut across the Kantasinda flats was unthinkably risky, an invitation to be pillaged or worse. Even the occasional caravan was taken at the edge of the desert. The Kantisindi tribeswomen that inhabited the flats were, as a rule, gigantic, violent and scorchingly horny. The only beings that could hope to safely cross the flats were the region's other indigenous inhabitants, the plantlike Cacta people. The green-colored Cacta had water-filled flesh that was covered with many tiny spines that discouraged the disconcerting Kantisindi tendency to hump anything even vaguely woman-shaped. Humans had no such luck.<br /><br />One of her deputies came riding up, eyes wide, horse blowing and winded. "Sharra!" he said. "It's just like we heard. Kantisindi at the south edge of town, about a quarter league out!"<br /><br />"Dammit," she growled. She quickly saddled her own horse, and swung up into the saddle. Turning her mount to the south, she pulled the spyglass from her belt and uncollapsed it. She peered into the distance.<br /><br />She saw an gigantic pale airship balloon floating there, with five enormous-breasted Kantisindi cavorting and writhing together on a hammock of black rope hanging beneath the balloon. Almost as a rule, their breasts were always gigantic; their bodies stored water there as an adaptation to the desert. The ship was sitting stationary in the air a few fathoms off the ground. Focusing the spyglass, Sharra saw that the 'balloon' was obviously Lana, who had gone missing a month ago. The woman's straining face was visible with eyes screwed shut; her head was half sunken into her enormous body's spherical surface. Sharra grimaced, one hand to her stomach in silent sympathy. The Kantisindi did that to captives sometimes; filling them at one of the Kantasinda Flats' helium geysers and using them as an obscene form of transportation. Bizarre things went on in their desert.<br /><br />"Poor Lana," she murmured. "But better her than me," she added internally, silently thankful. They'd both been there during that raid. A patrol had found a small Kantisindi camp, and fought the three Kantisindi there until they had retreated into the desert, or so it seemed. In the tents they'd found a few heavily pregnant human women, bellies swollen so large that they could not even be carried, much less walk unaided. It wasn't known what witchcraft the all-female Kantisindi used to make human women pregnant, but it was an all-too-common occurrence. The decision had been made to go back to town for a wagon to carry the swollen women. When the wagon had returned, the Kantisindi attacked again by surprise while the rescued women were being loaded onboard. <br /><br />The desert savages had never intended to retreat, she'd realized. They'd known that the humans would need wagons to get the enormous freed captives back to town, and were hoping to get some free additional livestock out of the deal rather than overwhelming the humans immediately. Only Sharra had escaped the second attack, slashing one of the horses free from the wagon train and riding away. No sign of Lana, the captives, or any of the other deputies had been found until now. Guilt twinged her about the event, but the desert demanded simple pragmatism. She would have accomplished nothing if she'd stayed, and it could very well have been her own enormous body floating above the desert right now. Or maybe pregnant beyond belief like those captives they'd found, middles swollen like they'd swallowed three dozen watermelons.<br /><br />But why were the Kantisindi floating there in their 'ship' right at the outskirts of town? It was unprecedented. They were known to use such human 'ships' in the inner desert, but rarely near the human lands. The sun must have glinted off the lens of the spyglass then, as one of the Kantisindi turned her attention from the near-orgy going on in the balloon's hammock, looked directly at Sharra, and made an obscene gesture. Then the woman deliberately turned back to kissing and groping her partner in the blimp's hammock below Lana's overstretched body.<br /><br />Sharra clucked and snapped the reins, bringing her horse to a trot as she rode towards the edge of town to investigate. As she passed the inn, the sounds of some kind of melee echoed from within. She hurriedly dismounted and tied her horse to the hitching post, then ran up the creaking wooden steps and peered in through the swing door. She gasped.<br /><br />A Kantisindi woman stood in the center of the tavern, trying to pull a shrieking barmaid down from the rafter she was clinging to. The desert barbarian was more than seven feet tall, towering over everyone else in the room. She was bare from the waist up, and clad only in a loincloth below. The woman's wobbling, bare breasts were the size of butter churns. They were doubtless full of gallon upon gallon of stored water. In the light of the fireplace, her skin gleamed as if it was oiled. She tugged and yanked on the frantic maid's legs, yelling, "You come down! I not bite much! Maybe only a little!"<br /><br />An underequipped bouncer was clubbing resolutely at the Kantisindi woman's back with a stout cudgel, to no seeming effect. He stood on tiptoe and landed one swing at the base of her skull, with a loud crack. The giant woman spun, keeping hold on the maid's ankle with her left hand while cradling the base of her own head in the right.<br /><br />"You stop!" the Kantisindi woman snarled. "Not interrupt!" She snatched the club away from the bouncer and smashed it into flinders with one swing against the table. She swung her torso to the side sharply, and one mammoth breast impacted against the man with a gigantic slap, knocking him back and sending him tumbling across the floor. Satisfied, the giant woman returned her full attention to the waitress clinging to the ceiling rafters, standing on tiptoe and grabbing the woman's skirts while laughing with glee.<br /><br />Sharra inhaled and gathered her courage. Here went nothing.<br /><br />There were a few sure-fire ways to distract one of the desert women. Striding across the room, she stopped directly behind the Kantisindi woman. She gulped, noticing that the woman's large behind was almost level with her collar in height. Sharra pulled her arm back and spanked the Kantisindi woman's right buttock as hard as she could, the impact of her palm sounding as loud as a tree limb snapping. The force of the blow left her hand tingling.<br /><br />Dead silence filled the room. From up above, the barmaid looked down at her in horror. The Kantisindi woman let go of the waitress and slowly turned, her gigantic breasts filling most of Sharra's field of view. A slow, disbelieving smile crept across the barbarian's face. <br /><br />"Nice ass," Sharra said, loudly. She understood that was one of the more direct invitations of challenge in the Kantisindi culture. The Kantisindi woman struck with the speed of a rattlesnake and seized Sharra by the collar of her jerkin and hoisted her effortlessly into the air until the sheriff's face was level with her own. The woman's enormous breasts pressed heavily against the outside of the Sharra's arms. The sheriff's boots were dangling two feet from the floor.<br /><br />"You look for trouble, tiny?" the desert woman said. Her expression was a grin of extreme amusement and a rather fixed stare of arousal. Not a good combination in the Kantisindi.<br /><br />"I was about ask you the same question," Sharra said, still dangling in the air. "Minus the 'Tiny,'" She stuck out her chin in defiance.<br /><br />The Kantisindi woman hauled Sharra in towards her mouth and kissed her passionately, the motion sandwiching the smaller woman inside her cleavage. Sharra flailed inside the boob prison, thrashing. She opened her mouth to yell, and this, in hindsight, was a terrible plan. As soon as the sheriff's mouth opened, the kiss became seriously invasive. The average Kantisindi tongue was about as long as Sharra's forearm, and nearly as thick. This one was currently going spelunking down her throat. In a rage, the sheriff bit down on the offending tongue. The desert barbarian grunted, but rather than cutting off the woman's kiss it became even more frenzied and passionate. The desert women were all completely mad. After far too long, the Kantisindi woman broke off the kiss.<br /><br />"You fun," the desert tribeswoman said. Sharra shook her head with bleary effort, struggling to clear it.<br /><br />"What the hell are you doing in my town!" she managed to squeeze out at last, though the words sounded strangled and breathless. She felt fitfully for the floor with questing feet, but was embarrassed to find herself still squarely held off the ground.<br /><br />"Come to trade," the Kantisindi said. "Come to bar. Buy alcohol. Bar wench say no. So decide to play with her instead. Then you come in."<br /><br />"Trade!" Sharra laughed, with more than a hint of a sneer. "Did you honestly think you would be welcome here?" With a grunt, the Kantisindi dropped her, and the sheriff tottered unsteadily and nearly fell.<br /><br />"Not stupid. Know we not welcome here." Suddenly, a large pouch was held in the woman's hand; it jingled appreciatively. Sharra didn't know where the nearly naked woman had been keeping that. She decided on reflection that she didn't want to know. The barbarian hefted the pouch. "Gold welcome here, though. Yes?"<br /><br />Sharra glanced back and forth between the pouch and the woman's face. There were no regular trade dealings with the Kantisindi. They had no official standing in the empire. But reclaiming that much gold from the hated Kantisindi's raiding would do much for the ailing town.<br /><br />"Maybe. What do you want?" she said.<br /><br />"Ale," the Kantisindi said, licking her lips. "Is good. Have five tens and three gold here in pouch. Want buy twenty kegs of ale." As she spoke she caressed the top slope of her left breast lazily. Sharra tried not to look at it. Kantisindi chests always looked monstrously ballooned and impossible. More than a few of the bar patrons were making no particular effort to not look at them, Sharra noticed. Irritating.<br /><br />"For twenty kegs, you give us the fifty-three gold and let Lana go. She's the one you've got floating out there with your friends," Sharra said immediately, hoping to bargain for the woman's release. A lascivious grin spread across the Kantisindi's face.<br /><br />"Really let her go? Big balloon like her? She float away," she laughed, seeming to find the notion hysterical. "Want her float away?"<br /><br />"Give her back to us," the sheriff clarified, growling. The desert woman shook her head, long black tresses brushing across her back. She started down with a smug air of superiority.<br /><br />"Take much longer to get back to desert without balloon. You want balloon back, you trade seventy-five kegs instead," she said.<br /><br />"The whole town doesn't have that much alcohol in it," the sheriff protested. "We would have to get shipments. Give us some time and we can work something out." The desert woman shrugged noncommittally in response.<br /><br />"Then we keep balloon until then. Not waste time. She be bigger before too long," the woman said, leering at Sharra's discomfiture. "For now, you sell twenty kegs for this gold, or we not ever give balloon back." <br /><br />The sheriff bristled. She would be damned if she let the desert women take advantage of her over the bargaining table. "For that price, we'll sell you five kegs. No more. You think I don't know where that money's come from? By imperial law I shouldn't sell you a drop." The giant woman frowned and lifted a corner of her lip in disdain. She set her hands to her hips and loomed over Sharra, causing the Kantisindi's enormous breasts to wobble.<br /><br />"Fifteen kegs," she said with a sneer. "Or else maybe we so disappointed someone forget to tie balloon down tonight after trip home. Big shame." The desert barbarian leaned forward at the waist until her smiling face was level with Sharra's own several feet below, her breasts pooling across the table in front of her. Sharra leaned back, worried the crazy giantess was going to try and kiss her again. The table's legs strained under the weight of the woman's mammaries. "Is fair price. Take fair price and maybe in few weeks we let you buy balloon back for more kegs," the Kantisindi woman murmured. Sharra understood the reason for Lana's monstrously ballooned presence at the outskirts of town now...she was both transportation to carry the goods back, and implicit hostage insurance.<br /><br />Sharra held the woman's gaze for a few long seconds before growling in her throat and turning towards the bar maid. "Get fifteen kegs," Sharra snapped. She snatched the pouch of coins from the giant woman, who released them with a smirk. "Pile up the barrels outside."<br /><br />"Not need stupid barrels. Just want what in them!" the desert woman said, straightening up to her full height again. Her head almost touched the rafters. Sharra's mouth fell open and she rubbed the bridge of her nose between finger and thumb in frustration.<br /><br />"I'm aware of that," she groaned. "But how else will you get-" she began, a patronizing tone creeping into her voice.<br /><br />"Drink!" the woman said, stomping over to the bar. She walked passed Sharra, the smaller woman only coming up to her elbow. With a squeal of abused chair legs, the giant woman sat down at the bar. She flopped her enormous tits onto the bar itself, and they lay there, covering a significant fraction of the surface and wobbling.<br /><br />"Excuse me?" Sharra said. "You're planning to DRINK fifteen kegs of ale?" The Kantisindi shot her a resentful look.<br /><br />"Was planning to drink twenty, but human too stingy," she said. Surely she was exaggerating. The Kantisindi reputation for liquid capacity was legendary, but that was absurd.<br /><br />"Fine! Drink till your boobs pop for all I care! Just get your booze and get out of my town!" Sharra spun and marched towards the door, not having a good day.<br /><br />"W-where are you going!?" the bar maid wailed. "Don't leave while she's still here! Who knows what she'll do!" <br /><br />The sheriff stopped and let out a long sigh. Her shoulders tensed and she slowly turned to walk wearily towards the bar. She pulled out a stool and sat down, leaving one empty stool between her and the desert giantess. "Okay," Sharra said, sounding exhausted and put-upon. She slowly paddled a hand through the air in a 'get on with it' gesture. The serving girl headed into the back.<br /><br />The Kantisindi woman slowly reached out an arm to her right, and then suddenly brought it down in an open-palmed blow to the stool between her and Sharra. The chair burst apart at the joints and tumbled to the floor looking like a swatted wooden spider. The woman reached over further and took hold of one of the legs of Sharra's chair, and suddenly dragged the sheriff over next to her, into the space vacated by the recently destroyed chair. The legs of the stool squealed in a high pitched whine across the floor as she was pulled. Sharra's closed her eyes and rested her head in her palm.<br /><br />The desert barbarian threw an arm around Sharra's shoulders and pulled inward, dragging Sharra even closer to her and mashing the smaller woman's face against the side of one enormous breast.<br /><br />"Mmmpgh!" Sharra grunted, squirming and trying to get free against the giant woman's ridiculous strength. Kantisindi skin was naturally oiled and slippery, and Sharra's face and jerkin were a mess from the breast contact. Up above her, her new 'friend' grinned broadly.<br /><br />The serving maid came to her salvation by rolling a keg out from the back. She quickly set an empty tankard before the desert giantess and began tapping the keg. The Kantisindi picked up the cup skeptically.<br /><br />"What this?" she asked, inspecting the tin tankard. Still squashed against the woman's breast, Sharra growled.<br /><br />"It's a cup," she said, voice muffled by boobs almost as big as she was. "Don't you have cups in the desert?" she demanded.<br /><br />The Kantisindi woman's arm around Sharra's shoulders dropped, and the woman's hand brazenly squeezed Sharra's front, her cupped palm groping and lifting Sharra's right breast beneath the jerkin. Sharra screeched.<br /><br />"Of course!" the woman said. "Know all about cupping things!" She squeezed the Sheriff again for good measure. Honk honk.<br /><br />"For gods sake!" Sharra said, pawing at the woman's side and trying to push herself free. She only accomplished setting up an obscene fluid wave bouncing around in the Kantisindi's gigantic chest. "That's a cup! You put things in it to drink more conveniently!" the Sharra growled, stabbing a finger towards the tankard. She sensed that she'd long ago lost control of this particular situation. Mercifully the barmaid filled the tankard with ale and set it before the desert woman again.<br /><br />The woman picked it up and sniffed at it.<br /><br />"Good!" she said. She tilted her head back and drank. From her position squashed against the woman's breast, Sharra could just barely see by looking straight upwards. The Kantasindi woman didn't drink and swallow, she simply poured the drink straight down her throat in one smooth motion, no swallowing. Sharra felt the breast she was pressed against wobble slightly bigger. The desert tribe girl made a noise of enjoyment.<br /><br />"Good!" she repeated, sighing and smacking her lips. "Humans bad at fighting. But you good at making ale and being balloons!"<br /><br />"Gee, thanks. Very gracious of you," Sharra growled, still pawing listlessly to try and shove herself away from the giant woman's arm around her neck.<br /><br />"Cup small though," she said with disdain. "Not good." She held out the tankard again, and the barmaid quickly filled it with shaking hands.<br /><br />Over the next fifteen minutes, the desert barbarian drank her fill, downing tankard after tankard. The Sheriff squirmed in her grasp and tried to escape from being squashed against the woman's breasts- they were blowing up to insane proportions with the alcohol that was filling them. Each cup of ale seemed to produce a moan of physical pleasure from the woman. Every tankard-full swelled her gigantic breasts slightly more. She never seemed to actually get drunk...not the way a human would. Just....giggly. And grabby. More so. Sharra surmised this was because majority of the alcohol was just sitting in the woman's breasts.<br /><br />By the time she'd finished two kegs, the woman's mammaries had almost doubled in size. By the time she'd finished eight kegs, the bar was distinctly beginning to bow slightly under their weight. After twelve, Sharra was beginning to wonder in horror if those breasts would even fit out the door. When the last drop from the fifteenth keg had vanished down the Kantisindi woman's lips, the sheriff was beginning to fear some kind of detonation. Each breast looked utterly replete, near spherical, with the skin as taut as a drumhead.<br /><br />"Ah-h-h," the Kantisindi warrior sighed, slapping one breast in satisfaction. That slap was the last straw for the bar, collapsing under the impact of even a little extra force. It gave way, leaving the the woman's breasts wobbling obscenely atop the rubble. She regarded it with mild surprise, and finally released Sharra, who gasped for air. She dabbed her cloak at her jerkin that was completely coated in oil from contact with the woman's skin.<br /><br />"This why not need stupid wood kegs. Flesh kegs better!" the Kantisindi moaned, rubbing her breasts languidly. "I go now. After tribe done with this ale, we back for more. Be ready then with more kegs if you want balloon back." She stepped back from the bar, her immense boobs reaching quite near the ground now. They met with a gigantic slap after being robbed of the support of the bar. They visibly inflated several more inches as the carbonation within the beer bubbled up, causing flesh-creaking sounds of tightness. "Oof," she grunted. She kneeled down and gathered the immense tan spheres in her arms and stood, lifting with her legs. Those ale-filled breasts weighted hundreds of pounds, wobbling in her grasp like unruly boulders. She squeezed through the door frame with obvious effort and went jiggling down the main road down to the sand, the townsfolk watching her go, with varying amounts of distrust, anger, or interest, depending on personal disposition. <br /><br />It wasn't until the Kantisindi girls in the balloon were helping to tug the ale-titted woman aboard Lana's gigantic, round body that Sharra realized she hadn't asked the woman what good it did them for a single Kantisindi to come fill themselves to the gills with alcohol when that left the rest of the tribe with thirst unslaked. It was just as well that she hadn't asked. As soon as the other Kantisindi had pulled her aboard, the others pounced on her and began busily sucking at her breasts with obvious relish. It was another detail of Kantisindi biology that Sharra could have happily gone without knowing.<br /><br />She tilted the view of her telescope up slightly, staring at Lana's puffy face almost lost amid the enormity of her spherical body. Sharra knew she was far too distant from Lana for the spherical woman to see her without a spyglass, but still...she couldn't help but read a hurt accusation in Lana's chubby face. The look wasn't cut off until one of the Kantisindi crawled up Lana's rope-covered side to lock lips with Lana and suck some of the heavier air-ballast out of her gigantic, helium-filled body. Lana slowly began to drift upwards, catching a desert wind as she rose and beginning to blow back out to the desert along with her crew of enormous-breasted Kantisindi. Shara felt guilty, turning towards her office and resolving to put in a requisition for some additional kegs of ale to ransom Lana back whenever the desert women got thirsty again. ]]></media:description>            <media:thumbnail url="http://th07.deviantart.net/fs70/150/f/2013/149/1/b/kantisindi_kegs_by_criticalvolume-d6700yj.jpg" height="150" width="150"/>            <media:thumbnail url="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/f/2013/149/1/b/kantisindi_kegs_by_criticalvolume-d6700yj.jpg" height="300" width="300"/>            <media:content url="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/149/1/b/kantisindi_kegs_by_criticalvolume-d6700yj.jpg" height="894" width="894" medium="image"/>

With a grunt, the Kantisindi dropped her, and the sheriff tottered unsteadily and nearly fell.<br /><br />"Not stupid. Know we not welcome here." Suddenly, a large pouch was held in the woman's hand; it jingled appreciatively. Sharra didn't know where the nearly naked woman had been keeping that. She decided on reflection that she didn't want to know. The barbarian hefted the pouch. "Gold welcome here, though. Yes?"<br /><br />Sharra glanced back and forth between the pouch and the woman's face. There were no regular trade dealings with the Kantisindi. They had no official standing in the empire. But reclaiming that much gold from the hated Kantisindi's raiding would do much for the ailing town.<br /><br />"Maybe. What do you want?" she said.<br /><br />"Ale," the Kantisindi said, licking her lips. "Is good. Have five tens and three gold here in pouch. Want buy twenty kegs of ale." As she spoke she caressed the top slope of her left breast lazily. Sharra tried not to look at it. Kantisindi chests always looked monstrously ballooned and impossible. More than a few of the bar patrons were making no particular effort to not look at them, Sharra noticed. Irritating.<br /><br />"For twenty kegs, you give us the fifty-three gold and let Lana go. She's the one you've got floating out there with your friends," Sharra said immediately, hoping to bargain for the woman's release. A lascivious grin spread across the Kantisindi's face.<br /><br />"Really let her go? Big balloon like her? She float away," she laughed, seeming to find the notion hysterical. "Want her float away?"<br /><br />"Give her back to us," the sheriff clarified, growling. The desert woman shook her head, long black tresses brushing across her back. She started down with a smug air of superiority.<br /><br />"Take much longer to get back to desert without balloon. You want balloon back, you trade seventy-five kegs instead," she said.<br /><br />"The whole town doesn't have that much alcohol in it," the sheriff protested. "We would have to get shipments. Give us some time and we can work something out." The desert woman shrugged noncommittally in response.<br /><br />"Then we keep balloon until then. Not waste time. She be bigger before too long," the woman said, leering at Sharra's discomfiture. "For now, you sell twenty kegs for this gold, or we not ever give balloon back." <br /><br />The sheriff bristled. She would be damned if she let the desert women take advantage of her over the bargaining table. "For that price, we'll sell you five kegs. No more. You think I don't know where that money's come from? By imperial law I shouldn't sell you a drop." The giant woman frowned and lifted a corner of her lip in disdain. She set her hands to her hips and loomed over Sharra, causing the Kantisindi's enormous breasts to wobble.<br /><br />"Fifteen kegs," she said with a sneer. "Or else maybe we so disappointed someone forget to tie balloon down tonight after trip home. Big shame." The desert barbarian leaned forward at the waist until her smiling face was level with Sharra's own several feet below, her breasts pooling across the table in front of her. Sharra leaned back, worried the crazy giantess was going to try and kiss her again. The table's legs strained under the weight of the woman's mammaries. "Is fair price. Take fair price and maybe in few weeks we let you buy balloon back for more kegs," the Kantisindi woman murmured. Sharra understood the reason for Lana's monstrously ballooned presence at the outskirts of town now...she was both transportation to carry the goods back, and implicit hostage insurance.<br /><br />Sharra held the woman's gaze for a few long seconds before growling in her throat and turning towards the bar maid. "Get fifteen kegs," Sharra snapped. She snatched the pouch of coins from the giant woman, who released them with a smirk. "Pile up the barrels outside."<br /><br />"Not need stupid barrels. Just want what in them!" the desert woman said, straightening up to her full height again. Her head almost touched the rafters. Sharra's mouth fell open and she rubbed the bridge of her nose between finger and thumb in frustration.<br /><br />"I'm aware of that," she groaned. "But how else will you get-" she began, a patronizing tone creeping into her voice.<br /><br />"Drink!" the woman said, stomping over to the bar. She walked passed Sharra, the smaller woman only coming up to her elbow. With a squeal of abused chair legs, the giant woman sat down at the bar. She flopped her enormous tits onto the bar itself, and they lay there, covering a significant fraction of the surface and wobbling.<br /><br />"Excuse me?" Sharra said. "You're planning to DRINK fifteen kegs of ale?" The Kantisindi shot her a resentful look.<br /><br />"Was planning to drink twenty, but human too stingy," she said. Surely she was exaggerating. The Kantisindi reputation for liquid capacity was legendary, but that was absurd.<br /><br />"Fine! Drink till your boobs pop for all I care! Just get your booze and get out of my town!" Sharra spun and marched towards the door, not having a good day.<br /><br />"W-where are you going!?" the bar maid wailed. "Don't leave while she's still here! Who knows what she'll do!" <br /><br />The sheriff stopped and let out a long sigh. Her shoulders tensed and she slowly turned to walk wearily towards the bar. She pulled out a stool and sat down, leaving one empty stool between her and the desert giantess. "Okay," Sharra said, sounding exhausted and put-upon. She slowly paddled a hand through the air in a 'get on with it' gesture. The serving girl headed into the back.<br /><br />The Kantisindi woman slowly reached out an arm to her right, and then suddenly brought it down in an open-palmed blow to the stool between her and Sharra. The chair burst apart at the joints and tumbled to the floor looking like a swatted wooden spider. The woman reached over further and took hold of one of the legs of Sharra's chair, and suddenly dragged the sheriff over next to her, into the space vacated by the recently destroyed chair. The legs of the stool squealed in a high pitched whine across the floor as she was pulled. Sharra's closed her eyes and rested her head in her palm.<br /><br />The desert barbarian threw an arm around Sharra's shoulders and pulled inward, dragging Sharra even closer to her and mashing the smaller woman's face against the side of one enormous breast.<br /><br />"Mmmpgh!" Sharra grunted, squirming and trying to get free against the giant woman's ridiculous strength. Kantisindi skin was naturally oiled and slippery, and Sharra's face and jerkin were a mess from the breast contact. Up above her, her new 'friend' grinned broadly.<br /><br />The serving maid came to her salvation by rolling a keg out from the back. She quickly set an empty tankard before the desert giantess and began tapping the keg. The Kantisindi picked up the cup skeptically.<br /><br />"What this?" she asked, inspecting the tin tankard. Still squashed against the woman's breast, Sharra growled.<br /><br />"It's a cup," she said, voice muffled by boobs almost as big as she was. "Don't you have cups in the desert?" she demanded.<br /><br />The Kantisindi woman's arm around Sharra's shoulders dropped, and the woman's hand brazenly squeezed Sharra's front, her cupped palm groping and lifting Sharra's right breast beneath the jerkin. Sharra screeched.<br /><br />"Of course!" the woman said. "Know all about cupping things!" She squeezed the Sheriff again for good measure. Honk honk.<br /><br />"For gods sake!" Sharra said, pawing at the woman's side and trying to push herself free. She only accomplished setting up an obscene fluid wave bouncing around in the Kantisindi's gigantic chest. "That's a cup! You put things in it to drink more conveniently!" the Sharra growled, stabbing a finger towards the tankard. She sensed that she'd long ago lost control of this particular situation. Mercifully the barmaid filled the tankard with ale and set it before the desert woman again.<br /><br />The woman picked it up and sniffed at it.<br /><br />"Good!" she said. She tilted her head back and drank. From her position squashed against the woman's breast, Sharra could just barely see by looking straight upwards. The Kantasindi woman didn't drink and swallow, she simply poured the drink straight down her throat in one smooth motion, no swallowing. Sharra felt the breast she was pressed against wobble slightly bigger. The desert tribe girl made a noise of enjoyment.<br /><br />"Good!" she repeated, sighing and smacking her lips. "Humans bad at fighting. But you good at making ale and being balloons!"<br /><br />"Gee, thanks. Very gracious of you," Sharra growled, still pawing listlessly to try and shove herself away from the giant woman's arm around her neck.<br /><br />"Cup small though," she said with disdain. "Not good." She held out the tankard again, and the barmaid quickly filled it with shaking hands.<br /><br />Over the next fifteen minutes, the desert barbarian drank her fill, downing tankard after tankard. The Sheriff squirmed in her grasp and tried to escape from being squashed against the woman's breasts- they were blowing up to insane proportions with the alcohol that was filling them. Each cup of ale seemed to produce a moan of physical pleasure from the woman. Every tankard-full swelled her gigantic breasts slightly more. She never seemed to actually get drunk...not the way a human would. Just....giggly. And grabby. More so. Sharra surmised this was because majority of the alcohol was just sitting in the woman's breasts.<br /><br />By the time she'd finished two kegs, the woman's mammaries had almost doubled in size. By the time she'd finished eight kegs, the bar was distinctly beginning to bow slightly under their weight. After twelve, Sharra was beginning to wonder in horror if those breasts would even fit out the door. When the last drop from the fifteenth keg had vanished down the Kantisindi woman's lips, the sheriff was beginning to fear some kind of detonation. Each breast looked utterly replete, near spherical, with the skin as taut as a drumhead.<br /><br />"Ah-h-h," the Kantisindi warrior sighed, slapping one breast in satisfaction. That slap was the last straw for the bar, collapsing under the impact of even a little extra force. It gave way, leaving the the woman's breasts wobbling obscenely atop the rubble. She regarded it with mild surprise, and finally released Sharra, who gasped for air. She dabbed her cloak at her jerkin that was completely coated in oil from contact with the woman's skin.<br /><br />"This why not need stupid wood kegs. Flesh kegs better!" the Kantisindi moaned, rubbing her breasts languidly. "I go now. After tribe done with this ale, we back for more. Be ready then with more kegs if you want balloon back." She stepped back from the bar, her immense boobs reaching quite near the ground now. They met with a gigantic slap after being robbed of the support of the bar. They visibly inflated several more inches as the carbonation within the beer bubbled up, causing flesh-creaking sounds of tightness. "Oof," she grunted. She kneeled down and gathered the immense tan spheres in her arms and stood, lifting with her legs. Those ale-filled breasts weighted hundreds of pounds, wobbling in her grasp like unruly boulders. She squeezed through the door frame with obvious effort and went jiggling down the main road down to the sand, the townsfolk watching her go, with varying amounts of distrust, anger, or interest, depending on personal disposition. <br /><br />It wasn't until the Kantisindi girls in the balloon were helping to tug the ale-titted woman aboard Lana's gigantic, round body that Sharra realized she hadn't asked the woman what good it did them for a single Kantisindi to come fill themselves to the gills with alcohol when that left the rest of the tribe with thirst unslaked. It was just as well that she hadn't asked. As soon as the other Kantisindi had pulled her aboard, the others pounced on her and began busily sucking at her breasts with obvious relish. It was another detail of Kantisindi biology that Sharra could have happily gone without knowing.<br /><br />She tilted the view of her telescope up slightly, staring at Lana's puffy face almost lost amid the enormity of her spherical body. Sharra knew she was far too distant from Lana for the spherical woman to see her without a spyglass, but still...she couldn't help but read a hurt accusation in Lana's chubby face. The look wasn't cut off until one of the Kantisindi crawled up Lana's rope-covered side to lock lips with Lana and suck some of the heavier air-ballast out of her gigantic, helium-filled body. Lana slowly began to drift upwards, catching a desert wind as she rose and beginning to blow back out to the desert along with her crew of enormous-breasted Kantisindi. Shara felt guilty, turning towards her office and resolving to put in a requisition for some additional kegs of ale to ransom Lana back whenever the desert women got thirsty again.<br /><div><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/f/2013/149/1/b/kantisindi_kegs_by_criticalvolume-d6700yj.jpg" alt="thumbnail" /></div> ]]></description>            </item>

So...yay <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=":D (Big Grin)"/><br /><br />Sorry it's so long, oh my gosh...but even so it sounded a bit rushed once I read back through it for typos (which I probably still missed because I'm reallllllllly tired @~@). This is as good as it's gonna get though - I spent way too much time on this as it is <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="417" title="Sweating a little..."/> And still haven't gotten any work done on the two new fics I have planned for my fanfiction dot net account - still plotting things out. Not that anyone here cares <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="397" title="=P (Razz)"/> I might upload this there too, since I actually kind of like it, and give my readers over there something to gnaw on before I get the other projects done OTL<br /><br />Anywho, there you go. *jazz hands* Hope you liked it, even if it's lame XD<br /><br />Hinata, Hanabi, Sasuke, Itachi, Hiashi, Fugaku, Konohamaru, and any other characters I managed to throw in here are copyright to Masashi Kishimoto. Please don't sue - I'm broke anyway ;A; ]]></description>            </item>

The dim haze of morning was trying to break through the blanket of night as Wheeljack brought himself to a tire-screeching halt, sliding into Miko's driveway with tire tread painting the ground and smoke rising from the asphalt.<br /><br />	Utilizing his hologram, Wheeljack blared his horn firmly three times in a row, not caring if he would wake the entire neighborhood. In response, he saw a face in the window and Mrs. Davis cracked open the door quickly, swiftly tying the knot of her robe.<br /><br />	"Wheeljack?" She took a half step ]]></media:text>

An old eight-wheeler, her elegance matched only by her simplicity and beauty of function free of unnecessary trappings. What she was and had been was good enough and if that was not good enough for others, their way would not follow hers. The journey of three thousand miles was nothing to the sturdy, one hundred and fifty year old locomotive who's wheels had traversed, by this point and time, nearly one billion miles. Telegraph signals that originated in Alaska turned via relays into gigahertz frequency radio waves, travelling from tower to tower, set to set, then being turned into track and signal data and being relayed through boxes, towers and automated systems. Far across the country, and into the state of Connecticut, ties turned once again from concrete back into wood, the track grew more than the customary two rails, and the signals turned back into the low voltage Direct Current clicks in a telegraph system. <br /><br />When the signals were received by Stratford Box, another engine, hulking and seething, drew herself out of a shed in Stonington and began to move. Fitted with every conceivable appliance and apparatus, bristling with ingenuity and experimentation at the cost of what some would call "good looks", four cylinders packaged tightly under and around her smokebox, drivers that stood nine feet high, feedwater heaters and economisers, Lemprex exhaust ejectors, thick rods holding roller bearings, oscillating cam valvegear driven by a new linkage, lamps by the dozen, buffers, a fold-down knuckle coupling around the customary hook, vacuum and westinghouse braking systems, compressed air sanding, and a Brotan boiler to feed it all at a pressure of six hundred pounds per square inch. <br />The engine crawled out of the yard, but reached a hurried pace once out on the mainline. Faster and faster and faster she went, blowing by the old towers, once controlled by New York, New Haven and Hartford, then Penn Central, and most recently MetroNorth, at one hundred and ten miles per hour with ease, only slowing once to accomodate a speed restriction placed by a track gang. The engineers could not help but smile as they passed a gang of men three hundred strong, working with tools driven mostly by the hand and only a few by steam, and not one high-visibility vest to be seen. <br /><br /><br />The locomotives met in quite an unusual fashion, coming to a stand beam-to-buffers, link-and-pin to hook-and-knuckle, exactly at the central column of the McCook Sound Span, a bridge that branched off of the coastal mainline and out toward Millstone Powerplant, in order to provide it with a railroad link. The bridge had been built by the Mystic River in 2004, when it first began doing business with another railroad, one on the exact opposite side of the country. To symbolise the strong link that had been formed, half the span was built of iron reinforced stone arch, the Mystic River's standard, yet the other half was built as a sturdy span of timber, built to the standard of the other road, requiring more of a different kind of maintenance. The timber span of the bridge was built resiliantly and as such, a speed limit of sixty miles per hour was placed upon it. The crew who maintained the bridge fell in favor of the timber side, for although it required more attention and upkeep, if a single piece did fail or need replacement, ONLY that piece would have to be removed, and it could be done with great ease and lack of equipment, and furthermore took a much shorter time. The wood was also far cheaper than the stone, and easier to transport and manipulate. <br />Here, almost ten years later in 2013, these two locomotives from the two railroads mentioned above, rolled to a stop facing eachother, so those on board could have a long discussion. The Western road had recently come out barely on top of some very difficult and trying times and situations, compared to the usual trying times and situations that the eccentric and strange Eastern road was seemingly always engaged in. With a promise of resources and time being devoted from east to west as needed, what was more was a firm hand of friendship being re-extended between the two parties. A link-bar was placed firmly in the grasp of a hook coupling.<br /><br /><br />It always surprises me how two things of such drastic differences at first glance can really have so much in common. I had never, ever, ever, ever in my wildest dreams, at the time this bridge was built, expected such a wonderful and prosperous thing to bloom. I have always admired the elegance and simplicity of that Western Road, and I will never, not now and not on the day I drop, ever stop caring for its welfare and helping it flourish. <br /><br /><br />I might actually shade this damn drawing later. It is 3 AM, excuse me while I sleep. ]]></media:description>            <media:thumbnail url="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/150/f/2013/161/7/8/meeting_at_mccook_sound_by_steamby51-d68lbof.jpg" height="116" width="150"/>            <media:thumbnail url="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/f/2013/161/7/8/meeting_at_mccook_sound_by_steamby51-d68lbof.jpg" height="232" width="300"/>            <media:content url="http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/161/7/8/meeting_at_mccook_sound_by_steamby51-d68lbof.jpg" height="786" width="1017" medium="image"/>

Lifelike as the show portrays. I have always pictured it made from multiple plates of metal put together, and their eyes either a grid sonar like portrayed, or pixilated eyes. I chose the sonar for this because the pixilated eyes just looked too dull.<br /></i><br /><b><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="450" title="Star!"/>Kaaryn Goldsun</b><br /><br />A trainer of Poke'mon that not only have High Offensive stand points, but massive Defensive stand points. Often refereed to by those back home, as "the Tank", Kaaryn makes sure each of her poke'mon have moves that can turn the table in battles and ones that seriously midigate overwhelming odds.<br /><br />Kaaryn was born and raised a few miles outside of Goldenrod City, on small farm where her mother bread and raised dog and horse like pokemon. The majority of her family were experienced Pokemon Breeders, extending from her mother, to her grandmother who breeds more dog like pokemon, her uncle who breeds fighting type, to her cousin who breeds Shroomish.<br /><br />She and her brother were both entranced by pokemon from the moment they first saw them. Her brother was 1 year older than she was.<br /><br />While her parrents were breeders they were not very well to do breeders, making barely more than enough to get by, and they were not experienced trainers. When it came time for her Kaaryn's brother to have his first pokemon, her parents bought 2 pokemon they could afford, and they placed the balls out for the son to chose. It turned out he chose the one containing a Zubat, which left the last ball for Kaaryn. When she came of age she got the ball. For a long time she was made fun of for the pokemon inside, but she loved and cherished it besides the jeering... A Magicarp.<br /><br />Due to the... Lack of ability to do much in a battle, she fell behind her brother when it came to training. He came accross a Marril and a Sandshrew and even his Zubat evilved into Golbat as the years went by, while Kaaryn stayed with only the Magicarp. She refused help from her brother and insisted on training her beloved splash-tacular fish on her own, without any help. Much toil went into training the seemingly useless, clueless, fat little fish, but to no avail, yet she still loved it.<br /><br />Now Kaaryn can swim, but not very well... At the age of 16, her brother now 17, she and her family took a trip to Cerulean City. Her brother insisted on taking her to the nearby abandoned Power Plant in search of one of his favorite Pokemon, a Magnamite. While traversing the dangerous road along the fast moving river, letting her Magicarp swim along size, she slipped and fell into the fast moving waters.

While most stand about 7 feet and weigh close to 600lbs, Ralph stands at nearly 11ft and weighs as much as a Snorlax, at 1100lbs. To put it in perspective, Kaaryn can sit crosslegged in the palm of his hand... His life in the mountains nourished his massive growth and strength, as well has his overall skill. His size, while making him strong as about as movable as a brick building, make him slow... VERY slow...<br />He was owned by a martial arts master in the mountains since he hatched from an egg. His master taught him everything he knows, including how to speak... Somewhat.<br />Ralph can say a few human words, like his name, YES, NO, UP, DOWN and a select few other simple things.<br />He is so intensely trained, and can focus so well in a battle, that even though he is MASSIVE and slow, he can time snatching a Crobat out of the air mid dive...Perfectly...<br /><br />His master was sought by many a trainer for his knowledge and skill in Fighting Type training, and would only train those he deemed worthy. Many years passed and Ralph's master passed away, leaving behind his knowledge in a book at his old shack on the mountainside. Ralph stayed on the mountain, at his master's grave for many more years to come, letting only those whom he deemed worthy have access to the book and it's secrets. <br />Trainers came, and went, never proving worthy to Ralph... Until Kaaryn came along. She was no match for the master fighting type poke'mon, and thus failed, but with grace. She impresses Ralph. When she made her way down the mountain, Ralph followed, book in possession. She took it but has never opened it, saying only "I am not worthy of this gift... yet" <br />Ralph continued to follow Kaaryn dispite her worries and concerns. Eventually they became good friends and he is now a powerful member of her team, and family.<br /><br />He is fond of Scraps and attempts to teach him the ways of a master fighting type.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b> PET</b><br />Scraps<br />A goofy Scraggy that has followed Kaaryn for a while.

I chose the sonar for this because the pixilated eyes just looked too dull.<br /></i><br /><b><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="450" title="Star!"/>Kaaryn Goldsun</b><br /><br />A trainer of Poke'mon that not only have High Offensive stand points, but massive Defensive stand points. Often refereed to by those back home, as "the Tank", Kaaryn makes sure each of her poke'mon have moves that can turn the table in battles and ones that seriously midigate overwhelming odds.<br /><br />Kaaryn was born and raised a few miles outside of Goldenrod City, on small farm where her mother bread and raised dog and horse like pokemon. The majority of her family were experienced Pokemon Breeders, extending from her mother, to her grandmother who breeds more dog like pokemon, her uncle who breeds fighting type, to her cousin who breeds Shroomish.<br /><br />She and her brother were both entranced by pokemon from the moment they first saw them. Her brother was 1 year older than she was.<br /><br />While her parrents were breeders they were not very well to do breeders, making barely more than enough to get by, and they were not experienced trainers. When it came time for her Kaaryn's brother to have his first pokemon, her parents bought 2 pokemon they could afford, and they placed the balls out for the son to chose. It turned out he chose the one containing a Zubat, which left the last ball for Kaaryn. When she came of age she got the ball. For a long time she was made fun of for the pokemon inside, but she loved and cherished it besides the jeering... A Magicarp.<br /><br />Due to the... Lack of ability to do much in a battle, she fell behind her brother when it came to training. He came accross a Marril and a Sandshrew and even his Zubat evilved into Golbat as the years went by, while Kaaryn stayed with only the Magicarp. She refused help from her brother and insisted on training her beloved splash-tacular fish on her own, without any help. Much toil went into training the seemingly useless, clueless, fat little fish, but to no avail, yet she still loved it.<br /><br />Now Kaaryn can swim, but not very well... At the age of 16, her brother now 17, she and her family took a trip to Cerulean City. Her brother insisted on taking her to the nearby abandoned Power Plant in search of one of his favorite Pokemon, a Magnamite. While traversing the dangerous road along the fast moving river, letting her Magicarp swim along size, she slipped and fell into the fast moving waters. Neither her brother nor her little fishy could get to her fast enough and she was swept under and down river. Her loved Magicarp swam as fast as she could and as hard as possible but could not gain on her. It was then that the once useless fish, evolved into the fierce, feared, and respected Gyarados. Now evolved and mighty, Tiamat managed to catch up to Kaaryn and pull her from the water.<br /><br />Tiamat brought her glory in many a battle and was her cherished friend.<br /> When their vacation was finished, her brother took her through the Rock Tunnel on the way back home. Her brother's Golbat seemed agitated from the moment they entered and flew off on his own in the dark, returning several hours later with a abnormally small, fuzzy, strangely colored, badly injured Zubat. She took this poor little guy and cared for him. After recovered she took care of it and it became quite attached to Tiamat.

While most stand about 7 feet and weigh close to 600lbs, Ralph stands at nearly 11ft and weighs as much as a Snorlax, at 1100lbs. To put it in perspective, Kaaryn can sit crosslegged in the palm of his hand... His life in the mountains nourished his massive growth and strength, as well has his overall skill. His size, while making him strong as about as movable as a brick building, make him slow... VERY slow...<br />He was owned by a martial arts master in the mountains since he hatched from an egg. His master taught him everything he knows, including how to speak... Somewhat.<br />Ralph can say a few human words, like his name, YES, NO, UP, DOWN and a select few other simple things.<br />He is so intensely trained, and can focus so well in a battle, that even though he is MASSIVE and slow, he can time snatching a Crobat out of the air mid dive...Perfectly...<br /><br />His master was sought by many a trainer for his knowledge and skill in Fighting Type training, and would only train those he deemed worthy. Many years passed and Ralph's master passed away, leaving behind his knowledge in a book at his old shack on the mountainside. Ralph stayed on the mountain, at his master's grave for many more years to come, letting only those whom he deemed worthy have access to the book and it's secrets. <br />Trainers came, and went, never proving worthy to Ralph... Until Kaaryn came along. She was no match for the master fighting type poke'mon, and thus failed, but with grace. She impresses Ralph. When she made her way down the mountain, Ralph followed, book in possession. She took it but has never opened it, saying only "I am not worthy of this gift... yet" <br />Ralph continued to follow Kaaryn dispite her worries and concerns. Eventually they became good friends and he is now a powerful member of her team, and family.<br /><br />He is fond of Scraps and attempts to teach him the ways of a master fighting type.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b> PET</b><br />Scraps<br />A goofy Scraggy that has followed Kaaryn for a while. She kind of adopted him as a pet but never uses him to battle. He LOVES Kaaryn and Ralph is his idol.<br /><div><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/i/2013/145/1/3/bfoiy2__team_shield_wall_by_auffallend-d66l6tn.png" alt="thumbnail" /></div> ]]></description>            </item>

He taught him many things about the world, including history. Mostly about the Great War which Esmaraldo was a part of as a warrior of the sand. Around the age of five Esmaraldo began to teach the young monster how to fight and defend himself. Training was often brutal and left Zalgo exhausted every time. Despite this Zalgo looked forward to training with the older monster. Eventually Esmaraldo taught Zalgo how to fly, called him a &ldquo;natural.&rdquo; Zalgo enjoyed flying.

She is soft spoken and observant silently judging others around her by the standards of novels shes read. During her brief existence she stuck to her books. The only thing she could trust that wouldn't leave her or leave any harm in their wake. All they could do was take her on adventures that she was too nervous to take herself in the real world. It let her escape from her boring life with the safety of being able to close the book and place it down if things got 'too real too fast'. She always did ruthlessly envy the protagonists that could throw everything aside and start an adventure and if despises happy endings. "There is never a true happy ending for everyone. someone somewhere got the bum end of that stick. maybe the prince and the princess get to be happy but what of the rest?"</blockquote><br /><b>Character Alignment:</b><blockquote><b>[x]</b> Neutral Good: <blockquote> Type 1 are those who are passively good- they have fairly normal lives and ambitions but will do good as the situation arises. They will help anyone they come across who needs it, then get back to their normal routine.They will do what Good they like or what needs to be done, and then they will go home and carry on as normal. &lt;/blockqoute&gt;&lt;/blockqoute&gt;<br /><b>[x]Applied:</b> Will do what seems right at the time. but wont go 'too' out of her way to do it as well- example. Allen sees a young boy of peculiar/negative character alignment struggling in quick sand... she has two choices.<br />if the quicksand bound victim sees her she will 'rush' over to help. with the underlying thought that he might beable to aid her later down the road.<br />if the quicksand bound victim were to miss her, she'd prolly avoid it the best she could. Allen:" I rather keep my nose clean of all this business..."<br />she'll save her own skin above someone elses. However if the mood strikes or if it seems profitable on her end she will lend a hand.</blockquote><br /><b>Character trope(s):</b> ===</blockquote>&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /><hr/><b></b><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><b> [x] B a c k g r o u n d C h e c k [x] </b></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><hr/><br /><b> Biographical Background:</b>&lt;/b&gt;<blockquote><b>[x]</b> Allen. Born of awkward parental decent.

Clicking through she notices a peculiar email. one with what looks like a game attached to it... She opens the exe. file and eagerly and proceeds to download it- hoping it as one of the finished point and click choose your own adventures<small><strike>romance</strike></small> she had signed up for... only to be disappointed. Technology's never really been her friend in the long run so she decides to return to her paper bounds books instead.<br /><br />Locked away in a room; books lay stacked upon books. Creating towers of literature and little cities with paper skyscrapers. Stacked precariously atop- lay a unread book. one of the last in the collection. bound in a dull brown this lackluster book had no discerning features. Just a symbol shaped as a star. But its so high up. Allen reaches for it. Fingertips skimming the spine once, slipping along the corners twice, and slicing her flesh via the thrice. She flinches in pain briefly before everything goes black. ==&gt; <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://25.media.tumblr.com/f050dd011ea9fd12c09bfd8eec22b3bf/tumblr_mm1sdkRTEB1qfbcr4o1_1280.png">[link]</a> </blockquote></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><hr/><b></b><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><b> [x] M i s c e l l a n e o u s I n f o [x] </b></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><hr/><br /><b> Miscellaneous Information</b><blockquote><br /><b>Likes:</b> the smell of paper and ink, antacids, ginger ale, or bubbly carbonated drinks<br /><br /><b>Hates:</b> burping, bugs, and coffee stains<br /><br /><b>[x]</b> secretly enjoys romance novels <br /><b>[x]</b> suffers from Polycythemia <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycythemia">[link]</a> and sometimes low blood sugar <br /><b>[x]</b> will try to keep sweets in her large sweater pockets- but sometimes she runs out.<br /><b>[x]</b> is easily frustrated when her blood sugar is low OTL and quick to anger. //freaking eat a snickers Allen OTL//<br /><b>[x]</b> true believer of dressing in many layers. bit of a prude like that. but does not like having her legs restrained by too much clothing. when reading books she'll sprawl out and this becomes problematic in pants and slacks.

The only thing she could trust that wouldn't leave her or leave any harm in their wake. All they could do was take her on adventures that she was too nervous to take herself in the real world. It let her escape from her boring life with the safety of being able to close the book and place it down if things got 'too real too fast'. She always did ruthlessly envy the protagonists that could throw everything aside and start an adventure and if despises happy endings. "There is never a true happy ending for everyone. someone somewhere got the bum end of that stick. maybe the prince and the princess get to be happy but what of the rest?"</blockquote><br /><b>Character Alignment:</b><blockquote><b>[x]</b> Neutral Good: <blockquote> Type 1 are those who are passively good- they have fairly normal lives and ambitions but will do good as the situation arises. They will help anyone they come across who needs it, then get back to their normal routine.They will do what Good they like or what needs to be done, and then they will go home and carry on as normal. &lt;/blockqoute&gt;&lt;/blockqoute&gt;<br /><b>[x]Applied:</b> Will do what seems right at the time. but wont go 'too' out of her way to do it as well- example. Allen sees a young boy of peculiar/negative character alignment struggling in quick sand... she has two choices.<br />if the quicksand bound victim sees her she will 'rush' over to help. with the underlying thought that he might beable to aid her later down the road.<br />if the quicksand bound victim were to miss her, she'd prolly avoid it the best she could. Allen:" I rather keep my nose clean of all this business..."<br />she'll save her own skin above someone elses. However if the mood strikes or if it seems profitable on her end she will lend a hand.</blockquote><br /><b>Character trope(s):</b> ===</blockquote>&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /><hr/><b></b><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><b> [x] B a c k g r o u n d C h e c k [x] </b></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><hr/><br /><b> Biographical Background:</b>&lt;/b&gt;<blockquote><b>[x]</b> Allen. Born of awkward parental decent. Deadbeat father figure and deceased mother&hellip; she inherits a book collection from her sketchy ass godfather. <br /><br /><br /><b>Just how is it you died miss?</b><blockquote><b>[x]</b>After a long day of errands Allen sits down to read her mail. Clicking through she notices a peculiar email. one with what looks like a game attached to it... She opens the exe. file and eagerly and proceeds to download it- hoping it as one of the finished point and click choose your own adventures<small><strike>romance</strike></small> she had signed up for... only to be disappointed. Technology's never really been her friend in the long run so she decides to return to her paper bounds books instead.<br /><br />Locked away in a room; books lay stacked upon books. Creating towers of literature and little cities with paper skyscrapers. Stacked precariously atop- lay a unread book. one of the last in the collection. bound in a dull brown this lackluster book had no discerning features. Just a symbol shaped as a star. But its so high up. Allen reaches for it. Fingertips skimming the spine once, slipping along the corners twice, and slicing her flesh via the thrice. She flinches in pain briefly before everything goes black. ==&gt; <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://25.media.tumblr.com/f050dd011ea9fd12c09bfd8eec22b3bf/tumblr_mm1sdkRTEB1qfbcr4o1_1280.png">[link]</a> </blockquote></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><hr/><b></b><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><b> [x] M i s c e l l a n e o u s I n f o [x] </b></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><hr/><br /><b> Miscellaneous Information</b><blockquote><br /><b>Likes:</b> the smell of paper and ink, antacids, ginger ale, or bubbly carbonated drinks<br /><br /><b>Hates:</b> burping, bugs, and coffee stains<br /><br /><b>[x]</b> secretly enjoys romance novels <br /><b>[x]</b> suffers from Polycythemia <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycythemia">[link]</a> and sometimes low blood sugar <br /><b>[x]</b> will try to keep sweets in her large sweater pockets- but sometimes she runs out.<br /><b>[x]</b> is easily frustrated when her blood sugar is low OTL and quick to anger. //freaking eat a snickers Allen OTL//<br /><b>[x]</b> true believer of dressing in many layers. bit of a prude like that. but does not like having her legs restrained by too much clothing. when reading books she'll sprawl out and this becomes problematic in pants and slacks. So she covers them up with stockings.<br /><b>[x]</b> tad bit twitchy. will always be touching her face, hair, or fidgeting with objects //sob<br /><b>[x]</b> will count from 100 to calm herself down- if that doesn't work she'll go from 1000, 100000, ect<br /><b>[x]</b> numbers and repetition seem to calm her- but shes horrible at memory and math- so sometimes she'll repeat numbers or get lost and have to start all over again OTL<br /><b>[x]</b> if you give her a sheet a paper she will fill it with abstract scribbles. again repetition helps. even if its just drawing spirals over and over and over again<br /><b>[x]</b> will 'trope' characters : and label them as how they would be in context to a literary story. Allen " looks like you're a bit of a woobie hmm..."<br /><b>[x]</b> dosent like to clean but feels the compulsive need to do so-!<br /><b>[x]</b> seems sweet and innocent at first glance but it quite judgmental and bitter. she will use that innocent guise tho if its helpful<br /><b>[x]</b> her ears turn red if she feels helpless or emberrased uvu<br /><b>[x]</b> has chipped front teeth- they seem quite gimpy and she is sensitive about them. usually will smile closed mouth/pursed lips for this reason. in the past she feel while reading and walking.

The sand you're standing on is just as pretty and dangerous as the view. It can be brimming with life and be a source of inspiration. Then in the next minute the waves come in and everything becomes washed out to shore, leaving the sand under your feet unsteady and quite incomplete.<br /><br />So as you walk through life, walk like you're bare footed - feeling each step you take and make sure you tread on secure ground. And remember there is a Guy up in the sky guiding you through it all.<br /><div><img src="http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/300W/i/2013/143/b/2/bare_footed__the_beach_by_ricaelaine-d669mb6.jpg" alt="thumbnail" /></div> ]]></description>            </item>

There will be a few minor violent scenes, language, and mild sexual content.<br /><br /><b>My Comments:</b><br />This is a sneak peek of chapter two to (Un)Beautiful.

Silky nickered softly and nuzzled Felix's nose nibbling gently on the soft whiskers that sprouted from his muzzle. The two massive creatures got along perfectly together never drifting too far away from the other on their travels to the stable where Kayta lived. Bane stretched out in the long thick reeds letting the two play in the calm surf before they headed up the long dirt road. From where he sat he could already make out the happy sunning forms other the stables other horses.<br />Silky's head shot up as she looked toward the farthest end of the beach where the surf was the highest. Her silver eyes glittered as she called louder into the breeze. Felix looked up and uttered his squeaky foal like whinny. Bane groaned rolling his eyes and covering his ear as the massive stallion's calls grew louder and even squeakier. A golden dot glittered off on the beach followed by another golden dot, Bane squinted hard cursing his bad eye sight as he tried to make out what the two were so worked up about. Silky pawed the sand flicking her ears back then forward nose butting Felix in the rump to push him out of the way. The dots danced along the tree line drawing closer.<br />Bane was now on his feet next to his large Dapple Grey just incase he needed to make a quick get away. Just like an illusion the dots poof, vanished and for a split second the man thought he could hear thunder off in the distance. That is until the source of the noise came charging over the hill, Hototos, 4 massive hototo stallions rarer over the small berm of sand ears back and auras blinding. <br />"Oh shit!" Bane barked throwing himself up onto Felix's back just as the head of the herd went steam rolling by.<br />The diamond teal palomino pinned his ears back flat against his skull and took a small swipe in Felix's direction, the big dapple grey snorted indignantly and bucked a little leaping toward the younger stallion. The small herd scattered, the sorrel one dove for the ocean, the Palomino veered away with an annoyed squeal and the buckskin came to a sliding halt turning on his heels to bolt in the other direction. Out of all of them one stayed, a dappled wild bay, his ears flicked back and forth in thought as he and Felix stared each other down. Silky peeked over Felix's butt to get a better look at the obviously younger horse the sweet solemn look in her eyes sparkling with curiosity. <br />Bane tried turning Felix away to go up the road but he didn't budge after another 10 minutes the younger horse wavered and Felix lurched forward nearly landing Bane flat on his ass. The Stallions massive body pounced a little too close for comfort near the smaller horse sending him skittering away with a frustrated grunt. Felix tossed his head and turned to give chase but was instantly stopped as another even larger stallion darted in front of him this one was bigger, taller and obviously angrier than the other four. <br />"Shit!" Bane spat attempting to yank Felix back away from the colossal blue roan beast but again he didn't budge. Seems today was the day for his horse to play chicken with a freight train. Just then Bane's phone rang, he intently answered,<br />"Hey where are you," Kayta's voice sounded kind of impatient on the other side. "And what on earth are you bringing. i-"<br />"Quick! Kay! Theres a huge horse standing in front of me and i don't know whether he's friendly or not?!" Bane was mildly panicked as the Blue roan lifted his head up and gnashed his teeth.<br />"I need a little more description than Huge horse."<br />"Blue! green stripes! Black face! White hair-" He was cut off as Felix shied away just as the stallion made an angry charge. The blue roan rarer in anger flinging his feet up way above Bane's head nearly clipping him off Felix's back. "Angry! Very Angry!"<br />"Thats Cronus get out now! He can kill you!"<br />Bane didn't need anymore reasons to get the hell out of there. He grabbed the lead to silky's halter and hauled her along side Felix as they fled the scene nearly being run over by the now rogue Cronus.<br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />"That horse is freaking insane." Bane snorted shaking his head in disbelief. "I thought this breed was harmless and immortal!"<br />"They are." Kayta sighed rolling her eyes, clearly unamused by his distress as she curried down Fadir's side. The large dominant white stallion stood there pleasantly nibbling his knotted rope while he waited for his coat to be thinned and his mane and tail braided for the summer months. "But the personality all depends on the horse. Cronus is grief stricken of course he's going to act like that to a complete stranger."<br />Bane gave an exasperated sigh leaning up against the fence that Fadir was tied to. He couldn't help by notice the gentle slope of Kayta's back the soft curve of her collar bones and of course the handsome cleft between her breasts. The she-guardian shot him an annoyed look as she patted Fadir's thick neck making him glow even brighter with a warm happy purple light.<br />"Just how many of these things are there?" Bane leaned back trying to make the air less awkward and the even more awkward bulge in his pants less obvious.<br />Kayta paused for a second Fadir's beard entwined in her fingers as she started a nice neat tight braid. "There's currently around 30."<br />Bane nearly fell off the fence as his jaw dropped. "30! 30 0F THOSE MASSIVE ANIMALS! How many are tame?!"<br />"They all were once." Kayta shrugged. Iv only been back for about a week but from what i know most of that 'Wild' herd were shown and bred by my great great great grandmother. Cronus being the pride and joy of the stable and one of the top horses she owned. Why do you ask?"<br />Bane tried to swallow his grin as he stepped a little closer to her so he could see the look on her face when he told her about Silky. "Because i think its about time i showed you my surprise."<br />Kayta took a step back from him looking slightly spooked as if he were going to flash her or something. Bane gave a low whistle that was met with a squeaky whinny and that same warm nicker. Her jaw dropped as the saw the two hototos come trotting up the driveway happily tied together and looking more than content. <br />"This my Dear Kayta is your new Hototo Silky." Bane chuckled gesturing to the dark dirty purple striped mare. His scat became that much more satisfying when he could see a clear blush forming over Kayta's cheeks when she finally looked back at him.<br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />New story, new characters, old characters, braided beards. It seems like BCRS is slowly getting back up on its feed doncha think?

Silky peeked over Felix's butt to get a better look at the obviously younger horse the sweet solemn look in her eyes sparkling with curiosity. <br />Bane tried turning Felix away to go up the road but he didn't budge after another 10 minutes the younger horse wavered and Felix lurched forward nearly landing Bane flat on his ass. The Stallions massive body pounced a little too close for comfort near the smaller horse sending him skittering away with a frustrated grunt. Felix tossed his head and turned to give chase but was instantly stopped as another even larger stallion darted in front of him this one was bigger, taller and obviously angrier than the other four. <br />"Shit!" Bane spat attempting to yank Felix back away from the colossal blue roan beast but again he didn't budge. Seems today was the day for his horse to play chicken with a freight train. Just then Bane's phone rang, he intently answered,<br />"Hey where are you," Kayta's voice sounded kind of impatient on the other side. "And what on earth are you bringing. i-"<br />"Quick! Kay! Theres a huge horse standing in front of me and i don't know whether he's friendly or not?!" Bane was mildly panicked as the Blue roan lifted his head up and gnashed his teeth.<br />"I need a little more description than Huge horse."<br />"Blue! green stripes! Black face! White hair-" He was cut off as Felix shied away just as the stallion made an angry charge. The blue roan rarer in anger flinging his feet up way above Bane's head nearly clipping him off Felix's back. "Angry! Very Angry!"<br />"Thats Cronus get out now! He can kill you!"<br />Bane didn't need anymore reasons to get the hell out of there. He grabbed the lead to silky's halter and hauled her along side Felix as they fled the scene nearly being run over by the now rogue Cronus.<br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />"That horse is freaking insane." Bane snorted shaking his head in disbelief. "I thought this breed was harmless and immortal!"<br />"They are." Kayta sighed rolling her eyes, clearly unamused by his distress as she curried down Fadir's side. The large dominant white stallion stood there pleasantly nibbling his knotted rope while he waited for his coat to be thinned and his mane and tail braided for the summer months. "But the personality all depends on the horse. Cronus is grief stricken of course he's going to act like that to a complete stranger."<br />Bane gave an exasperated sigh leaning up against the fence that Fadir was tied to. He couldn't help by notice the gentle slope of Kayta's back the soft curve of her collar bones and of course the handsome cleft between her breasts. The she-guardian shot him an annoyed look as she patted Fadir's thick neck making him glow even brighter with a warm happy purple light.<br />"Just how many of these things are there?" Bane leaned back trying to make the air less awkward and the even more awkward bulge in his pants less obvious.<br />Kayta paused for a second Fadir's beard entwined in her fingers as she started a nice neat tight braid. "There's currently around 30."<br />Bane nearly fell off the fence as his jaw dropped. "30! 30 0F THOSE MASSIVE ANIMALS! How many are tame?!"<br />"They all were once." Kayta shrugged. Iv only been back for about a week but from what i know most of that 'Wild' herd were shown and bred by my great great great grandmother. Cronus being the pride and joy of the stable and one of the top horses she owned. Why do you ask?"<br />Bane tried to swallow his grin as he stepped a little closer to her so he could see the look on her face when he told her about Silky. "Because i think its about time i showed you my surprise."<br />Kayta took a step back from him looking slightly spooked as if he were going to flash her or something. Bane gave a low whistle that was met with a squeaky whinny and that same warm nicker. Her jaw dropped as the saw the two hototos come trotting up the driveway happily tied together and looking more than content. <br />"This my Dear Kayta is your new Hototo Silky." Bane chuckled gesturing to the dark dirty purple striped mare. His scat became that much more satisfying when he could see a clear blush forming over Kayta's cheeks when she finally looked back at him.<br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />New story, new characters, old characters, braided beards. It seems like BCRS is slowly getting back up on its feed doncha think? In light of the announcement that we can create two starters i made my darling Felix who is my last starter and my big beef cake. (like really look at that face &lt;3) Silky came from the Grand Hototo auction and i must say the mare i draw this plucky little mare the more i lover her &lt;3<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hototo breed by *<a class="u" href="http://jullelin.deviantart.com">Jullelin</a><br />Breed <a target="_self" href="http://hototos.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/o/hototos.gif?1" alt=":iconhototos:" title="Hototos" /></a><br /><div><img src="http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/i/2013/151/9/7/bringing_home_silky_by_bdsm_stables-d67951d.jpg" alt="thumbnail" /></div> ]]></description>            </item>

Standing to close to her gives her the creeps, and a brush in the hallway will have her snapping at you. If you actually grab her... well, may god have mercy on your soul. <br />-Mae is fastidiously clean, and goes to great lengths to keep her naturally fluffy fur tidy, unmatted, and dirt-free. Even the sensation of water on her fur makes her cringe, rain showers in particular. <br />-Building off of that, Mae has a bit of a complex about her looks. She knows she's not pretty, but she still does her best to seem presentable, and is always trying to gauge the thoughts of others on the matter.<br />-She actually doesn't like having her hair in her eyes, since it makes it hard to see, but she's never been brave enough to cut it. She's afraid that if she pulls it back or trims it, she'll look silly.</blockquote></sub></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><b>E X P O S I T I ON</b><br /><br /><blockquote><sub><b>Talents||</b> <br /><blockquote><b>[Precise Knife-Wielding]</b> Mae can gut a fish in under a minute, de-bone a chicken in two, and leave every part of it 90% intact. This is a skill developed out of necessity more than anything, because as a general rule, she has a strong aversion to anything that might dirty her fur. Learning quick, efficient preparation techniques was the easiest way around this problem.<br /><br /><b>[Reading]</b> Less of a 'talent', per say, but certainly something she enjoys. Mae devours books by the chapter, whenever she gets the chance. History books, fiction books, fantasy, mystery, anything she can get her paws on. Being very money-conscious, it's difficult for her to afford that many, but she's developed a clever trading system with the local bookstore.<br /><br /><b>[Imagination]</b> Not always a good trait, but one that ties in very closely with her love of books. Mae is a spinner of tales, and when left alone for too long, a daydreamer. She rarely shares the stories in her head, but can be persuaded to impart them on occasion if she trusts the cat. She tries to keep it to a minimum, but this also gives her the tendency to unrealistically romanticize things.</blockquote><br /><br /><b>Personality||</b> <br /><blockquote><b>[<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="565" title="Bullet; White"/> Passionate; <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblack.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="564" title="Bullet; Black"/> Hot-headed] [<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="565" title="Bullet; White"/> Sensitive; <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblack.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="564" title="Bullet; Black"/> Insecure] [<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="565" title="Bullet; White"/> Straightforward; <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblack.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="564" title="Bullet; Black"/> Standoffish]</b><br />Mae is not what you would call a sociable cat, by any stretch of the word. She's strong-willed, aggressive, loud-mouthed, and very frank with her opinions. Her tolerence for what she deems stupid or trivial is very low, often landing her in arguments and fights. She has great distrust for any and all strangers, and finds it hard to open up to others, even if she knows them well. <br /><br />Strangely, despite her issues with socializing, she is very crowd-oriented, and feels most comfortable when surrounded by other cats. Not interacting with them necessarily, but being close enough to observe and feel welcomed. She circles the edges of large groups of cats, watching and listening and occasionally daydreaming, but she would never consider just jumping in. Her dislike of physical contact, for one, makes it difficult to navigate the inner reaches of crowds, and her repressed shyness keeps her from engaging cats on the outer edges. If someone approaches her, she will not shoo them off, but she will almost never initiate a conversation. And even then, it's likely that the discussion will turn sour when she doesn't reciprocate flirting, or calls someone out on their flaws.<br /><br />Beneath her rude and anti-social exterior, Mae is really quite insecure. Being left on her own, especially for long periods of time, makes her nervous and lonely, and she often berates herself for her inability to appear friendly. She tries, but she never feels she is trying hard enough, because she would never give up her independent and outspoken nature just to be more well-liked. <br /><br />The only times you can find Mae truly at peace are when she is deeply concentrated on something. The two most common instances of this are when she is a) reading, or b) in the kitchens. Books should speak for themselves, but Mae finds great delight in the precision required of cooking, preparing meat or fish in particular. She always wears gloves for this, regardless of how messy the task may seem, and becomes deeply engrossed in perfecting dishes for her own enjoyment. If she gets it right, it's a beautiful creation. If she gets it even slightly off, it's a disaster and a mess and she is hopeless.<br /></blockquote><br /> <br /><br /><b>History||</b> <blockquote><br /><br /><b>[Childhood]</b><br /><blockquote>Mae was born in California, close enough to the Nevada line and close enough to Las Vegas for the culture to have spilled over just a little bit into the neighboring towns. Their town however, was just beyond the reach of Sin City, much to the disappointment of Mae's brother. <br /><br />They were a family of four, in the beginning at least. Her father ran a reasonably successful family restaurant, and his wife was his assistant when she wasn't looking after their two kittens. They were well-fed, and their lives were not unhappy. True, Mae was often teased by the more ruthless kids at their local Catholic school for being a 'midget', but her brother Charlie was always there to stand up for her. Maybe their parents argued sometimes, when they thought their children weren't listening, about things like money and God and having 'sheltered' children. But they were happy for the most part.</blockquote><br /><br /><b>[Adolescence]</b><br /><blockquote>That was what Mae thought, anyway. Until they turned eighteen, and her brother ran off to Vegas with only a raging arguments' notice. Until her father collapsed in the middle of opening shop, and didn't get up. Until the hospital bills were so high, and the restaurant failing because Mae and her mom couldn't run it alone, and no one knew how to contact Charlie and tell him what was wrong.<br /><br />Until she was nineteen and they were living in a small apartment with no air conditioning because the restaurant had been shut down six months prior. Listening to her mother pray for hours on end to the sound of the heart monitor. Piecing back together the rosary she had thrown to the floor, proclaiming that God was 'no longer with them', and never had been. </blockquote><br /><br /><b>[Young-Adulthood]</b><br /><blockquote>Charlie came home when they were both twenty, with enough money to make a small living and a collection of not-so-legal tricks he had learned in the City. Their father had been dead for four months, and he hadn't known. Until she told him, quietly, so their mother wouldn't come screaming down the stairs again and try to beat her son senseless. <br /><br />He wanted them to come live with him in Vegas, in the apartment he'd bought with his own money, just big enough for three if the girls shared a bed. Their mother refused with a passion. She would stay in the town, and she would die in this town, and as far as she was concerned, Charlie was no longer her son. <br /><br />So Mae went away with him, and he got her a job working in the kitchens of a well-known casino. It wasn't much, but to Mae, anything was better than spending another day with their mother. </blockquote> <br /><br /><b>[RP History]</b><br /><blockquote>N/A</blockquote></blockquote></sub><br /><br /><br /><b>P L A Y E R</b><br /><br /><blockquote><sub><b>Timezone||</b> EST<br /><b>Preferred Medium||</b> Chatroom/Skype<br /><b>Secondary Medium||</b> Chatroom/Skype<br /><b>Unaccepted Medium||</b> Notes<br /><b>Skype Username||</b> Ask me!<br /><b>RP Example||</b><br /><blockquote>Immediately upon knocking, Leif regretted it. Had he learned nothing of being cautious? It wasn't as though Gweillan was safe anymore, though I'm his mind it still remained his home. To look back over the bluff and see scorched lines in the sand, black from the heedless digging of whoever had been searching so hard, always shocked him. He could see the same sight dozens of times, but in his mind, the kingdom he had been born in remained a pale and faintly glowing oasis of memory. Good memories, most of them. But not all. His paws shook, the flashing milliseconds his thoughts took manifesting themselves in physical distress. He should turn, he should run. Back to... Where? His home? He wasn't so sure he had one of those anymore. <br /><br />He stood, then. Not so much resolute as at a loss. Whatever happened next, must be either fate, or... survival of the fittest. If his curiosity ended up being the death of him, then perhaps they would all be better off. The world didn't need another scrawny coward anyway, not a cat who ran away from trouble only to find yet more heartache. The door slammed open and he flinched, awaiting almost certain death. A momentary pause granted him just enough time to think to himself, 'don't be so melodramatic', before it dawned on him that something was wrong. His flitting, bemused gaze turned up (and up, and up, good heavens,) not quite meeting the storm-green and impassioned eyes of the stranger in the doorway. What was the wait, now? He would almost have been frightened more by the pause, if it weren't for the chill numbness that still gripped him as a reflex every time he was taken by surprise. <br /><br />Caught like a deer in headlights, (not that he would have understood the simile,) he gave no immediate response to the questioning enunciation of his name. Really, it had been so long since anyone had called him by any name, he hardly recognized it as his own. In stupefied silence he stared back, wide-eyed, and waited for clarification. This hulking and scarred tomcat before him bore no resemblance to anyone he knew, not with those haunted eyes, not with the guarded way he held himself, not naked of the crimson and gold and music that had adorned the cat he met all those many months ago, before life had turned sour and days duller. When no explanation or introduction was offered, he hesitantly put forward his own query. Voice husky with almost a year of smoke and disuse. Eyes clouded with tamped-down emotions. He spoke with the almost impassive curiosity of someone meeting a stranger on the side of the road, one who greeted him like a friend but provided no introduction. <br /><br /><b>"Sorry, do I know you...?"</b></blockquote></sub></blockquote></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><b>R E L A T I O N S</b><br /><br /><blockquote><sub><b>To win her over||</b> Be gentle.

Standing to close to her gives her the creeps, and a brush in the hallway will have her snapping at you.

Even the sensation of water on her fur makes her cringe, rain showers in particular. <br />-Building off of that, Mae has a bit of a complex about her looks. She knows she's not pretty, but she still does her best to seem presentable, and is always trying to gauge the thoughts of others on the matter.<br />-She actually doesn't like having her hair in her eyes, since it makes it hard to see, but she's never been brave enough to cut it. She's afraid that if she pulls it back or trims it, she'll look silly.</blockquote></sub></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><b>E X P O S I T I ON</b><br /><br /><blockquote><sub><b>Talents||</b> <br /><blockquote><b>[Precise Knife-Wielding]</b> Mae can gut a fish in under a minute, de-bone a chicken in two, and leave every part of it 90% intact. This is a skill developed out of necessity more than anything, because as a general rule, she has a strong aversion to anything that might dirty her fur. Learning quick, efficient preparation techniques was the easiest way around this problem.<br /><br /><b>[Reading]</b> Less of a 'talent', per say, but certainly something she enjoys. Mae devours books by the chapter, whenever she gets the chance. History books, fiction books, fantasy, mystery, anything she can get her paws on. Being very money-conscious, it's difficult for her to afford that many, but she's developed a clever trading system with the local bookstore.<br /><br /><b>[Imagination]</b> Not always a good trait, but one that ties in very closely with her love of books. Mae is a spinner of tales, and when left alone for too long, a daydreamer. She rarely shares the stories in her head, but can be persuaded to impart them on occasion if she trusts the cat. She tries to keep it to a minimum, but this also gives her the tendency to unrealistically romanticize things.</blockquote><br /><br /><b>Personality||</b> <br /><blockquote><b>[<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="565" title="Bullet; White"/> Passionate; <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblack.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="564" title="Bullet; Black"/> Hot-headed] [<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="565" title="Bullet; White"/> Sensitive; <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblack.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="564" title="Bullet; Black"/> Insecure] [<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="565" title="Bullet; White"/> Straightforward; <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblack.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="564" title="Bullet; Black"/> Standoffish]</b><br />Mae is not what you would call a sociable cat, by any stretch of the word. She's strong-willed, aggressive, loud-mouthed, and very frank with her opinions. Her tolerence for what she deems stupid or trivial is very low, often landing her in arguments and fights. She has great distrust for any and all strangers, and finds it hard to open up to others, even if she knows them well. <br /><br />Strangely, despite her issues with socializing, she is very crowd-oriented, and feels most comfortable when surrounded by other cats. Not interacting with them necessarily, but being close enough to observe and feel welcomed. She circles the edges of large groups of cats, watching and listening and occasionally daydreaming, but she would never consider just jumping in. Her dislike of physical contact, for one, makes it difficult to navigate the inner reaches of crowds, and her repressed shyness keeps her from engaging cats on the outer edges. If someone approaches her, she will not shoo them off, but she will almost never initiate a conversation. And even then, it's likely that the discussion will turn sour when she doesn't reciprocate flirting, or calls someone out on their flaws.<br /><br />Beneath her rude and anti-social exterior, Mae is really quite insecure. Being left on her own, especially for long periods of time, makes her nervous and lonely, and she often berates herself for her inability to appear friendly.
