TML: Ahaha I think all the characters with Japanese-ish names are actually Japanese, or at least partially Japanese in origin... hence the -chan, -kun etc. Hmm I think the only extensive use of -chan and -kun would be by me (Namie Lloyd) and B4 (Rywen Oro); I've tried to keep to English/international customs for everything besides calling EngiMatikul's character (Kuriko Shiamari) -chan though. (-chan in this context would mean they're pretty close to each other; they're first cousins and have been childhood friends) I guess I should stop assuming everyone watches non-dub anime/understands pidgin Japanese :x

(overdue) Glossary edition #1:
ojii-san - uncle
-chan - explained above
-sama - Lord (insert name here)
-kun - (young) male acquaintance

[Dark-San]

Hah is that so, Rebecca? Its not a problem as I will cut down on those Japanese-ish phrases much.

And yes, you are quite right on the RPG here having much Asian Flair. Considering the numbers here, I think you are quite right ^.^

Oh and also Courage test write up is already up. Check it out then dudes. I will be posting my character write up sometime later in the evenings.

[Bulbasaur4]

Rywen Oro- Colored!

^_^

[Dark-San]

0.o" What are you implying at Kalah?

Anyway I hope to start the visit to Whirl Island by next Sunday, 8th May. The activites that would probably be where everyone get to get into their swimming suit and make fun by the lake.

There would also be the existence of underwater caves around. Hence your characters might want to go on a little diving trip. Yes pokemons are in abundant here, so you can catch some pokemons here but a reminder that you are only allowed 6 pokemons per student for this RPG and only Kanto region pokemons can be caught here.

I will do up a sketch on my idea of the Whirl Islands and post it here by Thursday if I'm not too busy with my revision.

Another thing would be the modules for your classes. Classes would start on Wednesday (RPG timing). Hence if you have any idea on what relevant modules that each degree should attend kindly post them here too.

I should be able to post my plans on what should we do for the classes by next week. So remember to check on the chat topic regularly since I may post any updates.

[Bulbasaur4]

I wasn't implying anything. I posted a link to the colored picture of Rywen Oro. *squee*

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Okay, I think I'm grabbing Aubrey for the Courage test. Just posting here to show no, I'm not dead, just waiting for someone to post. *cough*
Oh and Darkmeng, how many Mew plushies are there in the shrine place?

[Dark-San]

Oh the number of mew plushies are limited to one per couple.

[Weasel Overlord]

YAY! AUBREY GRABBAGE! *dirty snigger* *imagines things*

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

erm. Anyone wants to partner my character or I shall have to skip the test of courage *YES* er. Ladidadidum.

[Dark-San]

There should be more guys to partner around with. After all in this RPG alone, we have 11 guys and 9 girls. Blademaster and Shadow Djinn have not found a partner so far and I do believe Kalah's character is available too.

PS> Rebecca, you around? I tag you in my last RPG post, so its your turn now. ^.^

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

very well... erm.. Kalah or Shadow Djinn, any one of you interested? ^^ Once I get a partner I'll be a good girl and post

EDIT: ooh, bad me, didn't go check the other topic >.>
thanks faiz

[darktyranitar]

I think Blademaster have partnered with Roy.

[Dark-San]

Okay if I'm not wrong, here are the current pairing.

Rebecca - me
Classycat_18 - Faiz
Kirst - Yi wen
Crazy Elf Boy - Mystic Clown
Kalah - Hyperness

The current active ones left are the following,

Prof. Jb Wolf (M)
EngiMatikul (F)
Perfect Chaos (M)
~Genki Katchum~ (M)
Shadow Djinn (M)

I am not sure about Blademaster partnering Roy's character but it was initially plan out that Akira partnered Chris Coleman. Roy would have to sort out with Blademaster on this.

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Oh Weaz - naughty naughty, dahling. :p It comes to mind that maybe I should tag another character and inflict Aubrey upon some innocent male.
Also, I will be making very sordid references to someone's drill should someone not post within this week, perhaps with post-finals Box to help...

[Bulbasaur4]

Partners with Hyper it is then!! I will attempt to post tonight. ^_^

[Dark-San]

The only female left is EngiMatikul's character. Any idea on whether is he pairing up with anyone?

[The_Missing_Link]

I'm here but I've been busy. I'll try to post something tonight

[Aide]

Dark, I'd like to start posting, but I'm not entirely sure where to start. I know I'd have to post my arriving at the university... but should I be a late student, or someone who was hiding in the back the whole time?


If I'm coming in late, what are the standard procedures for dealing with late students?

[Dark-San]

No restrictions really. You can start now or you can start after the whole orientation camp is over. I would not post any restriction on this one since creativity is highly encouraged around here and it would depend much on how you RPG your character to be.

@Rebecca~ Cheers sis!

[Aide]

Sounds like a plan, thanks.

Okay, just one more thing; do I have a roomate? That's all, and I'll be ready

[EngiMatikul]

The only female left is EngiMatikul's character. Any idea on whether is he pairing up with anyone?

Refer to PJBW's post.

BTW, how exactly is the courage test arranged?

[Dark-San]

Ouch! That was one silly punch to my character's face, Rebecca! I didn't expect that ^.^ Eitherway catch up on my next RPG which would be done within an hour or so.

Refer to PJBW's post.

BTW, how exactly is the courage test arranged?

^~$~^Visit the Old Shrine – Courage Test^~$~^

It is now Monday Night, as the dark cloud seems to gather together and the chill wind begins blowing lake- wards. One could only left that it would be time for the annual ‘Visit the Old Shrine – Courage Test’. The shrine is built for the Forest guardian and had been left alone for years.

Aim: From the starting point as indicated from the map at the Breeding Campsite, the freshmen’s mission is to venture through the thick vegetation in pairs to get to the shrine.

Challenge: After surviving the thick vegetation, you are to enter into the main hall of the old shrine and retrieve the Mew pushie placed there on purpose. From there, you will have to leave the shrine, go through the thick vegetation again and reach back at the breeding campsite.

The enemies: Beware the thick vegetation are ladled with many routes and just going through them is a mammoth task. Nocturnal creatures like Zubats and Hoothoots are common inside the creepy forested area itself. There are more dangerous pokemons like ghost types still existing around there.

Besides this, the student council would be on stand by on different location to scare the wits out of the freshmen with their costumes and props.

Winners: Those who arrived back at the finishing point still in pairs and the Mew pushie in their possession wins the challenge.

Here it is.

Sounds like a plan, thanks.

Okay, just one more thing; do I have a roomate? That's all, and I'll be ready

I'm not so sure. Perhaps you can linked up with a current member in the Kuro Dorm and asked if they want to share the room? 'Cause all the male characters in the Kuro dorm are living together. Chances are either you are together with another female character or alone by yourself.

Hence the current pairings for the courage test would be as followed,

Rebecca - me
Classycat_18 - Faiz
Kirst - Yi wen
Crazy Elf Boy - Mystic Clown
Kalah - Hyperness
Prof. Jb Wolf - Engi
Roy - Blademaster/ Chris Coleman?

Sorry Aide, Perfect Chaos, Genki Katchum and Shadow Djinn, you will have to go with an imaginary female freshmen or you can linked up with each other.

Without further a do, let me present my plan for the Whirl Islands...

^~$~^The Whirl Islands^~$~^

The Whirl Islands is a general name given to a set of four island located off the shore of the Battler's Forest in the middle of the lake. The freshmen would get to tour the Islands on Tuesday and would travelled there by boat from the jetty onto Miho Island, the largest of the four islands.

Miho Island: The largest of the four islands. This is where you would start your journey and from there you would venture into other smaller islands by crossing the bridges. Do be careful when venturing into the thick vegetation as it is the thickest among those in existence. Pokemons inhabitating there are fierce and would strike if provoked.

Hibi Island: Besides possessing a thick vegetation, this island's scenery is at its best when the sun sets since it is located westwards.

Yui Island: Or better known as the 'Fishing' island. From there you can start renting your very own fishing rod and fished for water pokemons. Old Rod, Super Rod, Good Rod, whatever you name it, they have it all. Besides fishing, you would get to dive to marvel at the sight of the underwater lake cave that is located between Yui and Miho Island. However be careful when diving as pokemons such as the Mantine and Gyardos resides there. It is their nesting ground after all.

Kiba Island: The least interesting of the four since it has pratically nothing except for the thick vegetation and weird stone structures. The island itself has a myth. It is said that whoever can find a stone structure located deep in the forest vegetation that is shaped like a Arbok's fang and touches it, would be blessed with a year of good luck.

Note: The swimming area is confined within the area of water body by the four islands. Do not let your character swim out of the confined area if not they would be swept away by the lake water currents.

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

@ Wurzworth: Oh gods I'm juggling both this post (large) and a COTR post (larger), as well as overtime work/random relatives dropping in, so mine won't be up that quick :x if you get home and actually feel like posting, I've done mine up to the point where they ride elegantly on Briar to the forest - let us dazzle the ghosties with our impeccable fashion sense. Or something. I'm planning to leave off at the shrine for you to write grabbing plushie/the way back.

[The_Missing_Link]

You made a few mistakes, Dark

1) Isis punched your Hiroshi in the arm
2) They were already deep in the forest when the argument occurred
3) Andy also has a map but not a compass
4) Andy's not usually that stubborn. She's just momentarily pissed off at Hiroshi

[Dark-San]

Hah, thanks for pointing out. I will remove my RPG and will re-read yours. ^.^

Edit~ Just realized how different is yours from mine >.<

Man, the night is getting into me.

[Shadow Djinn]

If you don't mind, I'm just going to create an NPC female then. ^_^;

[Dark-San]

@Rebecca~ Hey sis, I will try and get the RPG up by Monday. I have this mind block on how to proceed at the moment, hence unable to roleplay further.

Edit* My post is up!

[Dark-San]

Apologises, I bumped the chat topic to remind the rest of the RPGers who is still in the forest that a second wave of ghostly attacks had begun.

So you might wanna take note of it. Incidentally any comments on the Whirl Islands so far?

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

*tiptoes in sheepishly* Errr. Is it okay if my next post just glosses over running from mad ghost pokemon in the forest and continues into the events of the next day (Whirl Islands day)?

[Dark-San]

*Is glad that someone finally posted about LVU*

Sure why not?

[Bulbasaur4]

i'm sorry, but i'm going to have to officially resign myself from this RPG. I should have done it a while ago... x.X. The reason being is that in the beginning I felt the RPG was forcefully being moved a bit too fast and I just couldn't keep up. (Rywen 'tis a bit slow... and me too... xD) So I appologize. I give Wolfy, Hyperness, Engi and Yi-wen free reign over Rywen. ^_^;

[Shadow Djinn]

Are we supposed to be in the Whirl Islands now..?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Yes I think so, unless you haven't finished with the ghosts, then you should do that

[Dark-San]

My apologies for the slowness that the RPG had become into, I was pretty much engaged in Pearl and had a couple of real life issues to sort out. Now with them out of the way, I supposed we can continue on the RPG as normal. ^.^

@Shadow- For those who have not continue on the ghost portion, please complete them so that we can move on to our next phase. *cough* Blademaster *cough* *cough* Engi *cough*

@Kalah- Moving too fast? And I thought we were already too slow here. >.<; But then again we would miss on out on your darling character and only have Weasel's dahling to keep us entertained.
