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. ^_^

Testing new strengths and abilities (open)
X-oshi, had climb to the top of Aira Mountain. He easily gotten up to the peak a faster and easier way, but doing it manually would give him a workout.
It was weeks since his last fight. If could be called even that. He would climb to the top and test the his greatest of his abilities. Everything!
He looked to the top as he was making the last stretch all the way up. This would be just a test to show that he was truly the best. Almost there he keep pulling himself upward, using just his arms. His arms felt a little weak but it would be no different if he had been training all day as he had been doing in the last couple of weeks.
He reached the ledge and took a peek around. There was no one in sight. This would be a perfect sparring ground for himself. Except, the inside of his portal. At least there he would truly be alone. With no one messing with him.
He pulled himself atop of the ledge. And layed with his back to the dirt, he began to fall into a quick deep sleep. However, X-oshi had even acheived a way to meditate while sleeping. It was a good way of training while resting.
He fell into a sleep, and began to meditate. In the open air. The setting sun was his warm blanket however the cool breeze that came over the mountaintop, was the cooling the sweat set in his brow. He lay there, with his black Nike shirt, with slits and small stains of blood here and there. His balck Nike shorts were drenched with stains of sweat also. He had given himself a workout like no other. He would awaken from his nap, feeling great. But for now, its time to get some rest.

Hawthorne, on the other hand, had taken the easy way up the mountain, at least as easy as she could manage. She had her arm out, scrolling her a constantly changing map of the scenery, so that her path wasn't totally miserable. Still, she was getting a decent workout. She was starting to slim down with all the exercise she was getting lately, and she was thrilled with her newfound musculature.
Finally she made it to the top, and she stood there, panting in the thinner air. She felt great, she also felt exhausted. She didn't want to tackle the going down part quite yet. She looked for somewhere to sit down, when she noticed that she was not alone at the top of the mountain.
At first she was afraid, the boy looked dead. Still, after she watched him for a few moments, she could see that his chest was rising and falling, albeit slowly. He must be asleep. She didn't want to frighten him, so she summoned her stuffed llama and sat on it, watching the boy curiously.

Re: Testing new strengths and abilities (open)
X-oshi had done a quite bit of meditating while in his dream state. He started to toss and turn alittle. He was training his mind to caculate attacks and moves five to ten steps ahead from the first intiative attack. On top of that he was busy, caculating movements of when if he was fighting someone faster than himself, how he could move to bring the battle into his favor. Last but not least he was busy trying to experiment with his new powers.
Until something smelly came into his nose canals. It smelled way dfferent than the clean smelling air that called the mountaintop, home.
He rose his head slightly, and lowered, then again. He opened his eyes slightly and closed them and did it again. The hardest part about sleeping was the getting up part. So he tensed every muscle in his body, (or at least the ones he could control) and released. It was a way of warming up his body and alerting it for use also. He sat up with his head low and his left arm up for support. His other arm rubbing his face.
The mountain air had dropped the temperature slightly. Or maybe it was because his body was in a dormant state for so long. Well with his head still low and eyes still closed, he used his free arm and opened a portal and reached inside. It would be a while until he found another shirt.

Re: Testing new strengths and abilities (open)
The boy started to move a bit, and that freaked Hawthorne out. She scooted back a foot or so, but kept an eye on him. Maybe he was having a nightmare, that would be bad. If he called out or looked distressed, she'd have to wake him up.
When she summoned her poor, graying, mildewy llama, the boy rose his head, just a little. Hawthorne let out a small squeak. She hadn't expected him to awaken so quickly. She hoped she hadn't disturbed him. She watched his eyes flicker open and shut. He must be pretty deep into sleep, his body didn't seem to want to get up.
Then he sat up and she let out another little squeak. He was definitely quicker at the whole waking up thing than she was. She picked up her llama and cuddled it to her, rather than sitting on it. She must look a sight, wind-blown hair, ripped and dirty jeans and t-shirt, and a moldy doll clung in her arms. The poor boy.
Then he . . . his arm disappeared!!!! Hawthorne chewed on her lip ring, curious about what the boy was doing, and where his arm was. It was starting to freak her out . . . a lot. Hesitantly, and very quietly, she spoke up.

Re: Testing new strengths and abilities (open)
(OOC) Sorry you wouldn't be able to see the hole. The only thing you would see is a missing arm.... which is still freaky as shit. I mean I would do the same damn thing too. I mean come on missing arm. How many people do you know that can just make an arm disappear in plain sight. Espiecially if they had just woken up, on a mountaintop. Who sleeps on a mountaintop? Who? I'll tell ya who... a crazy. Thats who... and then to reach into the air and and just have most your arm disappear to that would be some real fucked up shit. I would probably lose my lunch. I'll tell ya, I ain't never seen no shit like that before.
...
....
.....
What the hell am I talking about? Well anyways, my portal is invisble, you wouldn't be able to see it. But you would see his arm disappear. Freaky huh. Look at my character sheet. It'll explain in there.
Ha Ha Ha im such a goofball.

Quote:"H- hello...?"
Came a voice... from in front. He eyes shot upward as he was grasped onto a shirt. He wasn't sure what it looked like becuase he had a couple of them floating around in there.
He pulled it out and closed the portal with his arm to his side all in the time it took for his eyes to focus on the new person that had now occupied the mountain.
"What tha... What tha... who are you and what did ya see?"
He said with his head cocked back a little. He spied the thing she was clutching. He made a weird look of slight disgust on his face and looked back at her.
He jump to his feet, with his shirt in his hand and one fluid motion twisted around, straitened the shirt out and slipped one arm in with his back to her. As he was finishing his twist and coming back to face her his other arm would be as his other one. He began to button up his shirt. Then he looked down and realized it didn't match what he was wearing. In fact it was very ugly.
He took his right hand to his head and shook it slowly. A sign he was irratated with the outcome of shirt fishing. He looked back at the girl who was looking at him still.
He pointed a finger at her and asked again. With his feet spread shoulder width apart and other hand on his hip.
"Whatcha see?"

Promptly the llama disappeared and Hawthorne jumped to her feet. She stared at the boy in front of her, the fright in her eyes belying the strength of her defensive stance. She was ready to protect herself, but all she really wanted to do was run away.
"I saw your arm disappear, if you really need to know. Do you normally just lose limbs randomly and then get them back? Because it doesn't seem like normal behaviour to me."
She was trying to be bold in her speech, but she couldn't keep a little quiver out of it. After all, this was a large, dangerous-looking black man in front of her, which was one of her special paranoias. After all, this fella was like an echo of Drewe in her mind.
"What's it to you? It's a free world, I can climb the mountain if I wanna."

He stood there and with is head forward listining intently for an answer. Then the big doll thing she was clutching dissappeared. That made him start to wonder if that is where the smell came from.
Quote:"I saw your arm disappear, if you really need to know. Do you normally just lose limbs randomly and then get them back? Because it doesn't seem like normal behaviour to me."
His eye brows had released the tension that they were holding, and his body became less ridgid. He realized that this girl had no idea what had just happened, but for now, just for now. He would let her know just a little. But then she started going off on him.
Quote:"What's it to you? It's a free world, I can climb the mountain if I wanna."
"Yeah I can dissappear completly. But you'll never know until its too late." He made his arms outstretched and put them out to his side. And placed them to his side. "Yeah you climb this mountain. "If ya wanna we can play king of the mountain."
He made a little joke to clean up some of the hostility he had created.

That was an interesting ability . . . she made a mental note to ask him about it later, if they ever became friends. It was a curious thing, and she was concerned about what he could do later. After all, you could never trust a man . . .
"Yeah you climb this mountain. "If ya wanna we can play king of the mountain."
Apparently he was trying to diffuse the situation. Hawthorne tried to smooth her raised hackles. Not everyone was a viscious brute, and he had just woken up. She inhaled deeply, and stuck out her hand.
"Only if I get to be the King. I'm Hawthorne, by the way."

He looked at the girl rather intently.
"Hawthorne, huh."
*What a weird name for a girl* he thought.
"So you if ya wanna be king then thats fine by me. I mean, I thought you would wanna be queen. Anyways, girl Im X-oshi." He says with a grin on his face.
He walks up to her to give her dabs.

"Hawthorne, huh."
"Yes, Hawthorne. It's the English translation of my Ojibwe name, Miinensagaawanzh. Most people can't say it, so I just introduce myself as Hawthorne."
"So you if ya wanna be king then thats fine by me. I mean, I thought you would wanna be queen. Anyways, girl Im X-oshi."
She raised her eyebrow at being called girl. Well, he was african-american, so she guessed it made sense. Still, she laughed at the whole queen issue. Prolly most girls would prefer the title.
"Dragon females are Kings, and I wanna be too. It's a pleasure to meet you, X-oshi. I've heard good things about you."
She was glad that, rather than a complete stranger, she had run into one of Jun-Bo's friends. It made her feel much safer. After all, aside from that Daedelus fella, most of Jun-Bo's friends were pretty decent folks.

She turned down the gesture for giving dabs. He just shrugged it off and chocked it up to her whitness.
As she began to say her name his head started to spin. He just let it be. "No comment on that one," he said to himself.
Then she said Dragon Female. He raised an eyebrow when she said that.
"What the hell is a Dragon Female...and why are they kings?"
"And whos been talkin bout me?"

Re: Testing new strengths and abilities (open) "No comment on that one,"
She chuckled. It figured that he would have nothing to say to that. As if the name X-oshi was common and ordinary, right. Oh well, boys tended to be like that, she assumed. Though she still didn't know why he had had his fist out like that.
"What the hell is a Dragon Female...and why are they kings?"
That made Hawthorne raise an eyebrow. She knew people around here were from all kinds of different places and cultures, but still. Him not knowing that one made her want to shake her head in shame.
"You read books, right? You know what a dragon is, don't you? Giant-sized lizard, has wings, can fly, breathes fire? No? Doesn't ring a bell?"
Sheesh. Where was Datu when you needed him. He was much better versed with fantasy then she was, so he would prolly describe it better. Oh well, what could you do?
"And whos been talkin bout me?"
"Jun-Bo mentioned you in a conversation we had. He seemed to think you were the good sort."

"He laughs to himself. "Yeah I know what a "dragon" is. But a "Dragon Female?"
As she mentions Jun-Bo. He nods his head in a confirming notion.
"Yeah, I know Jun, he's fucking wierd. But nonetheless tolerable. He aight."
He turned to see that the sun was beginning to go into its hiding phase. He rubbed his head, and brushed whatever hair he had on his head backwards as the sweat had dried up.
"So, why you here at tha school. I ain't never seen ya here before. He pops a squat on the nearest rock he could find that could act as some type of seat. Takes a look at her and raises a brow. He takes a look at her face. She wasn't as... concerned with her looks like the other girls here. At least she wasn't superficial. He took a quick look at her style of dress.
And confirmed in his mind she wasn't as superficial as the rest. She was normal. But not quite.
Whats ya powers. Everybody got one, whats yours."

Re: Testing new strengths and abilities (open) "Yeah I know what a "dragon" is. But a "Dragon Female?"
"Well, y'know, dragons have males and females too. They're intelligent creatures, with a hierarchal society, matriarchal actually. The females are in charge, but the title is King. Still, you didn't climb the mountain for a lecture."
She shook her head. Boys could be so . . . obtuse. Still, it wasn't her fault. Not a lot of people put the amount of effort into their reading as she used to. Not a lot of people used it as their escape, after all.
"Yeah, I know Jun, he's fucking wierd. But nonetheless tolerable. He aight."
Weird? She supposed a lot of her interractions with the samurai boy could certainly be described as weird. She would say he was a little more than tolerable, though. After all, she rather liked the fella.
"He's not overly weird, he's just . . . I don't know how to describe it. I don't think he really understands how to relate to other people properly."
"So, why you here at tha school. I ain't never seen ya here before."
"Well, not that it's really your business, but I was sent here because my neighbour felt that I needed looking after. My old man was too busy drinking himself to liver failure to notice that I even existed, and the meddler thought that coming here would be good for me, on account of my . . . being different."
She watched him sit down on a rock, and felt that perhaps taking a seat would be a good idea. Still, the air was a little chilly and she didn't really want her butt to get cold. With a small grimace she summoned the stuffed llama, gave it a quick hug, and sat on it, looking up at X-oshi.
"Whats ya powers. Everybody got one, whats yours."
"Well, I can make the llama appear, or disappear, and I can make a map."
That one wasn't really explanatory so she held out her right forearm. Furrowing her brow, she concentrated on the picture. Carefully outlining in a thin black line, a map began to form of the mountain, and the various paths to the top. She held it out so that the boy could look at it.
"See?" She pointed to a spot near her elbow. "This is where we are."

He smiled at the girl. When she got finished with her explanation. of why she was here at the school. He thought in his mind that he was just asking a question. He didn't think he would get the awnswer with a side of attitude. Oh well he thought.
He flinched as the smelly llama appeared. He twinged his nose when the smelled entered his body.
His attention got stolen from him more as he saw the girl make a map of where they were. It was amazing. He would need here for future missions. He began to ask here more about the mapping power.
"So, I like that, thats pretty tight you can do something like that, tell me some more bout that map power you got there."

Re: Testing new strengths and abilities (open)
X-oshi had a nice smile, she noticed. It had kind of an ironic tilt in the one corner, but it made his whole face look nicer. She smiled in return even, since he was making an effort to be friendly. She silently reminded herself not to take offence at everything people said.
Hawthorne raised a curious eyebrow when the boy flinched as her llama appeared. He had made his arm disappear, and a llama freaked him out? Then she watched his nose twinge, and it all became clear. She chuckled. Perhaps Lily was due for a bath.
"So, I like that, thats pretty tight you can do something like that, tell me some more bout that map power you got there."
"Well, its nothing special really. I can make a map of anything, anywhere. As long as I can think of it. Also, and this was just a new development, I have a perfect sense of direction. I can orient myself to any map, it's like a draw to magnetic north. Pretty spiffy, eh?"
She'd never met someone so interested in her mapping ability. He seemed genuinely impressed, which made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. She gave X-oshi a genuine, bright-eyed smile, unconsciously leaning a little closer into him.
"What about your power? You made your arm disappear!"

Re: Testing new strengths and abilities (open)
She had a great smile. It was accepting. She didn't seem like a bad girl at all. Somebody he could chill with. When she started talking more about her mapping power. He was extremely interested. But at the same time he thought of a way she could become real useful to him. He was going to use her for some missions... if she wasn't afraid. Other ideas crossed his mind when she started explaining more of her powers. It was nice to meet someone new.
He shook his head yeah, when at her conformation question. It was something unique. When she started asking about his arm, he knew it was a chance to get closer to a new friend.
He looked down at his arm. And clenched it and released. Looking at her, and then trying to decide in his mind if he should tell her the truth of what he could do.
He scratched the back of his head and smiled some more.
"Well, I got a whole lot more power than just making my arm disappear."
She gave him a description and example of her might. Well, he felt that he'll do the same.
"Ok, ya wanna see something tight."

Re: Testing new strengths and abilities (open)
He seemed to agree that her power was special, at least, which made her feel a lot better. It was nice to have someone around that validated her, after so many years of mockery and rejection. Particularly since his power's were rather evidently stronger than her own.
He clenched ther muscles in his arm, almost in mirror image of the way her own body tensed when she made a map. He seemed to be debating something, which definitely peaked her curiosity, especially when he went so far as to scratch the back of his head. That was just funny.
"Well, I got a whole lot more power than just making my arm disappear."
That didn't surprise her so much, after all, most of the people here had several different abilities, rather than just one. She was curious as to what else he could do, since the disappearing arm had returned holding something. That was a pretty impressive power all on its own.
"Ok, ya wanna see something tight."
That word, tight. It seemed to be something he said a lot. She assumed that it meant something positive, given the context it was always used in. She just wasn't familiar with the slang, but that was no probelm.
"I'd love to. What are you gonna show me?"
She leaned forward in anticipation. Lately she'd been awfully excitable, and new things were always interesting. She didn't always like them or feel comfortable with them, but if it was as nifty as the whole arm-disappearing thing, it was right up her alley. Powers were so unique and interesting, and it was just too much fun to see new ones.

Re: Testing new strengths and abilities (open)
He nods his head quickly in agreement. And he looks around on the ground. His scanning leads to success as he sees a rock about the size of a normal-sized baseball. It was just a yard away in front of Hawthorne. He walks over towards her very casually and picks the rock up. He tosses it slightly into the air and catches it. Does it one more time and catches it succesfully. Then when it would seem he is about to do it once more. He takes the rock and with a furious throw, it is thrown quickly of the side of the mountain.
As the rock left his fingertips, X-oshi takes off running after the rock to the point where he is off the cliff and he opens a portal to keep from falling to his death. He enters the portal just as he was about to use all his kinectic energy up and free fall. He quickly opens a portal for the rock. It is now in X-oshi's space. They both exit and appear in real space across from each other. X-oshi comes out in a forward tumble. With his knees in his chest, and hands around them to make sure he is tucked in tight.
The rock on the other hand is bearing in on X-oshi and is spinning rapidly. Quickly, in one fluid motion he breaks open and snatches the rock from mid air. Opens another portal as he began to fall once more. With the rock in hand and almost done with his demostration. He floats in his space for about five seconds. Moving in a bullet-type spinning motion, he attempts to gain more speed. As he would be going straight into the air at a 45 degree angle, back towards the moutaintop. He emerges over Hawthornes head. He would be seen moving in an upward angle spinning upward with the rock being clutched in his hands near his pelvis. He goes as high as he can and tucks inward and begins to forward tumble towards the ground.
He continues to fall in foward tumble position until he reaches the floor. But even then he dissappears again into another portal just as he would slam into the ground, which would shatter every bone in his body. At the speed he was going, something like that would kill any normal man, But X-oshi was no normal man. He enters his portal and closes it, he attempts to slow his velocity. Enough for him to be able to stand up (whichever way up was) and open one more portal right in front of Hawthorne. Of course she wouldn't see the portal in front of her but surely she would see X-oshi walk out with the rock in his right hand.
He stands in front of her now. With sweat on his brow and an extreme look of determination on his face, he sets it down at her feet and sits in front of her indian style. It was his way of calming himself down after doing such high adrenaline moves. He raises his head upward slightly. Only his eyes can be seen.
