We have added a few things to the requirements to power and ability upgrades. Be sure and read the details in the most recent update when you request a new power / upgrade.
Well, its the weekend here at MHS. Wouldn't it be great if all schools started on a Friday for the first day of school. What a way to start off. You get a weekend right after your first day. Well, this is because we are done with the first day of class. How so you ask. As you only went to one class. yes, but I am sure that doing the same thing for each class would get boring. So the one class you experienced is basically how all the classes are going to be.
Teacher posts role. Day gets started, end of class happens, everyone goes to their next class, or home..
Well, ezboard still hasn't confirmed anything on a final date when everything is changed over to Yuku. And we are working on what to do next. We all want user friendliness after everything is changed away from Ezbaord, and we are trying everything we can to ensure that we have just that when we are at a new board hosting site.
We have a guest book. Take a look. If you haven't taken a look yet, be sure and do so. ^_^

Merciah's Sanctuary (For your reading pleasure only)
Walking into the Gardens, Merciah goes to the area he has spent the last year cultivating himself. Stopping outside of it's entrance of to large shrubs making a narrow doorway, Merciah removes his sandals on the granite threshold. Dropping once to his knees he offers a small prayer to the Buddha in the middle of the octagonal space. The large trees growing around the edge of the small inner garden provide a natural cealing made of leaves. The vines growing up through the trees intertwine one another pulling the branches together and taking up any space that might be left where the branches could fill, making the canopy block out any light that might be able to show from the outside. The shrubs growing around the edges grow as high as the begining of this living canopy blocking any other entrance for light. The only light enters either from the small doorway and candles that are lit strategically around the space to provide a living appearence to even the candles.

After offering his respects to his Buddhists beliefs Merciah continues into the small personal sanctuary he has created for himself. Quietly checking the plants, he takes a small blade, trimming any bush and flower by hand. Continuing by hand Merciah trims the grass that grows through out the small sanctuary. Trimming the height of the grass with his small blade by hand. Surveying the edges he takes small stones from his pocket and sets them on the outer edge of the grass, making the begining of a small barrier between the grass and the shrubs. After carefully placing twenty stones he appraises his work, the stones fitting together to almost appear as one. Walking the edge of the grass Merciah then insures that the small gap he cleared for the future placement of more stones hasn't allowed anything to grow, where something has he removes it, placing anything in his pocket as he has any clippins from all the things hea has been trimming. Finally, with another small prayer at the entrance, Merciah returns his sandals to his feet and exits his personal garden.

Re: Merciah's Sanctuary
Returning a few hours after the last time he had been inside Merciah goes through the basic ritual of his entering. A small prayer, and an inspection of all the plants in the space. Anything that is not to perfection is either fixed or removed entirely. Always placing any clippings in his pockets. Going to where he left off with the last set of stones Merciah begins placing more in line. After completing his task, and finding it to be satisfactory, he sits in the center of the garden, and with a quick prayer, he begins his meditation.

Re: Merciah's Sanctuary
Closing his eyes, thoughts rush away and everything is fresh. The sky is everywhere yet nowhere. This is his mind as Merciah travels in his own subconscious. Finding small groups of color and shapes her and there. Passsing through unvoiced ideas, old memories and current. Yet not finding what it is that he searches for.
Finally after three hours of meditating Merciah's eyes open again. Looking up to see the change in the position of the sun Merciah marks the time. Offering another prayer to the Buddha that accompanies him in his garden Merciah stands and walks to where his sandals stay. Placing them on his feet he exits the garden.

Re: Merciah's Sanctuary
Returning again, another day that he is in his garden Merciah does his usual daily upkeep in his personal garden. Greatfull that he has been able to keep it private Merciah spends his time pruning any plants that might be the smallest amount away from perfection. His extremely good senses, that including his eyes he fixes things that others would not have imagined to need any form of upkeep.
From his pockets Merciah removes twenty stones, similar to those that he has been placing previously. Surveying his garden Merciah notices that the next time he enters here, will be the last time he needs to bring any stones.
Moving to the center where he places himself infront of the Buddha, Merciah begins his usual meditations. His cleansing meditation, in which he cleanses his body of any and all illnesses. His strength meditation, in which he attempts to regain any strength lost to fatigue. His meditation of prayer, in which he offers any part of his being to becoming one with life that Buddha choses ready. And finally his meditation of life. One that he only does a few times a year, and during a specific time.
His day of birth is coming near. The sixteenth stone should be ready to light, yet he doesn't know what is required of him to do so. Merciah searches his past for the answers that his teachers might have provided for lighting his sixteenth stone.

Re: Merciah's Sanctuary
Walking into the garden, Merciah surveys the surroundings. He had been away from his garden for far to long. Greatfully though, he had left it in a way that should allow it to care for itself. Other then the simple over growth of a few plants. He sees to his own pleasing. That he was successfull in leaving it in great form.
Walking in after removing his sandals, Merciah begins the task of returning his garden to the wonderful state of serene peace he left it in last time he was here.

Re: Merciah's Sanctuary
Coming another time to his garden, Merciah removes his sandals and goes about the regular business of trimming the grass by hand. His keen eye leveling everything to near perfection. Standing he insures all the flowers and shrubs are growing evenly and if not, he evens them out. Finally after everything is once again in perfect order, Merciah walks up to the large Buddha statue in the middle of his garden and sits on his knees and says a silent prayer. After his prayer Merciah remains for just a while longer to meditate on the occurances of the past few days.
Finally after he has spent perhaps an hour meditating, even though it seemed like only a few moments, Merciah stands, only to find that rain had started falling. Looking around the garden he can see that he was successfull in pruning the trees above him to grow into a natural canopy to allow rain to fall only in specif areas, of which waters the entire garden, while still allowing oe inside to remain dry if they were to remain.
Merciah being one who enjoys mother nature more then most, returns to where his sandals lay, and returns them to his feet before exitinig throu the opening in the side of his garden.

Re: Merciah's Sanctuary
Once again Merciah is here to meditate. He stops at the edge of his garden as he enjoys the scents from the clean air as the flora grows healthily inside of the garden. Today though, Merciah has something new that he is bringing onto the garden. Something to make this area more unique from any other place of meditation. That addition sits in his hand.
A large uncarved ruby that weighs perhaps half a pound is being held by Merciah. He found it exploring the cave under the Calle waterfall. Most would have seen it and thought it nothing more then a simple rock. Yet Merciah had some knowledge about stones in their natural form, and what they looked like, and this caught his eye immediately.
Walking into his garden, Merciah sets it in front of the large statue. He already knows what he is going to do with it, but just now, he is noticing that his garden is going to require a bit of a change. Thinking on that, he smiles inwardly to himself as he sees a project that he has set for himself.
After finishing his thought on his project, Merciah places himself infront of the statue and meditates on some of the things that have been happening, both new and old.
After perhaps an hours worth of meditation, Merciah stands and prepares to exit. Yet before he exits he goes once over the details of the garden as he sees how he plans on making changes. Returning his sandals to his feet, Merciah steps out of his garden.

Re: Merciah's Sanctuary (For your reading pleasure only)
Entering his personal area of the garden, Merciah stops at the entrance of it as he removes his sandals. Leaving them sitting at the entrance, Merciah steps in and seperate his hands. Making visible a small spade, and a small plastic trash bag.
Begining next to the entrance, Merciah lowers to his knees as he begins using the spade to cut the beginings of what seems to be a small moat. He continues this for a short amount of time, following the outer edge of the garden, perhaps for a total of thirty minutes before stopping. Everything that he has dug out of his shallow moat is placed into the small trash bag that he has brought with him.
Finally Merciah takes the dirt and grasses, and proceeds to evenly lay it on the ground below the low edge of the shrubs that line the outer edge of the garden. Not removing the debris from his garden, simply allowing them to be moved elsewhere.
Complete with as much of the task he seems he is going to do today, Merciah proceeds to the center of the garden and lowers himself to his knees before making a small prayer to the large Buddha statue infron of him.
After his prayer, Merciah meditates like he does when he usually enters this area of the garden. Finishing his meditation Merciah stands and makes a small bow towards the Buddha, then moves to gather the items he brought with him into the garden. He places his sandals on his feet and proceeds out of the garden. Leaving with no more then he came with, as he has done since he first began his work on the garden. This is where I put my random thoughts. :)

Re: Merciah's Sanctuary (For your reading pleasure only)
Making a return. Merciah stops at the entrance to his personal garden again. He has made his way to a place he visits regularly. He removes his sandals, still at the entrance then finally steps past the threshold.
After making his way fully into the area of this secluded garden, Merciah stops and lowers himself to one knee. He removes a spade and begins where he left off the previous time he was here. The half hours worth of work he had completed the previous time is now furthered another half hour.
Surveying what he has done, he sees that he has made his way around half of the small garden that he personally tends. Cleaning himself with a quick wipe of his hands he then proceeds to the front of the buddha and begins his nightly meditation.
This is where I put more of my random thoughts. :)
Has everyone heard, there have been attacks in the forest. More and more students are showing up in Mrs Hanabishi's ward by the day. What's going on. It's the talk of the school.

Re: Merciah's Sanctuary (For your reading pleasure only)
A cold day today as Merciah stops outside his personal sanctuary. It isn't hidden from anyone, but he is greatful that people are respectful of the time he has put into this small area and not damaged it in any way.
Like usual he removes his shoes at the entrance to step barefoot on what would be cold grass. Yet the way this small garden of his is situated, the sun shines down and reflects off of some mirrors that he placed earlier this morning. Allowing light to pass through the thick canopy above by going around and coming through the edges of the garden. The light shines right onto the statue in the center, and being constantly hit with the suns rays it keeps it from becoming to cold, which in turn keeps the inner portion of his garden comfortably warm.
Lowering himself and showing respect to a person who dedicated his life to teaching others to reach a state of perpetuality that many can only dream of. Merciah then continues into the garden to put more time into the small moat as it only needs to have the last finishing touches with the natural clay to be pressed smooth before any water could be added.
This is where I put more of my random thoughts. :)
