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. ^_^

“My group’s here, you ready to move into the private room we rented?”
Datu chuckled.
"Why wouldn't I be?"
He got up from his chair, and looked at Hawthorne. She seemed to be a good friend, unlike others that he has met.
"So, um, where is your group?"
He looked around the place; it was hard to find a group of people from school he's not familiar with.

Re: Dragon's Breath Karaoke Bar ((Invite Only, PM to join))"Pleasure to meet you good sir."
Pax raised a quizzical eyebrow to the Jun fella, but shook his hand nonetheless. The man was friendly and polite, but he seemed a little stilted. Perhaps he, like the tall boy, was not so much for the present scene they were encountering. He decided that the samurai guy would get the benefit of the doubt for now.
" Well thank you for coming out with me. I really appreciate it."
“No prob, Ryoko. Anything fer a pal, y’know?”
Pax watched the small man blush as he looked at Ayeka. Interesting. It wasn’t exactly the reaction he’d give the plant lady, but, whatever rock’s yer boat, right? The man shook his hand, which impressed the 6’5 boy, and he returned it exhuberantly, the gaming calluses obvious on his palms and thumbs.
" Your Name is Pax, mine is Adrian but everyone calls me Grey. I hope no one minds but I brought my guitar, well actually its always with me."
" So, you play guitar? Me too. How long have you played?"
"A pleasure to have you join our group my good sir."
“Ye gots a good shake there, Grey. And a guitar? Nifty. I gots no musical talent, but I can certainly appreciate someone who does. Mayhap the lassies’ll convince ye to play later.”
Pax wasn’t quite sure what he thought about the ponytails. In his world only girls wore those, but again, different strokes for different folks, eh? The small man was pretty buff though, and the lanky lad bet the other fella could prolly take him in a fair fight. He wondered if Grey played DDR . . . Still, what was worse, ponytails, or the plant chick? Easy choice. And wait, did Ryoko say she played the guitar? He never woulda guessed. He was definitely gonna have to tease her about that later.
"John, I'd like you to meet my friends, this is Jun, the woman in the blue dress over there is Hawthorne, i think his name is Pax...he's one of Ryoko's many men, and this is grey, i don't know him."
"I am glad you decided to join us on this wonderful evening."
Well, the plant lady’s fiancée really existed, go figure. He never would have guessed that one. When she gave him his less-then-stirring introduction, he offered John his hand. If the man put up with that female, he was a saint of some sort. Pax spoke with a boyish smile on his face.
"Nice to meet you"
" What kind of a guy could put up with THAT 24/7?"
He tried not to laugh too hard at the guy’s fiancée’s expense while he was shaking the fellas hand. Damn but Ryoko was funny. Who saud the girl was allowed to be so quick witted? She’d leave him in stitches before the night was up if he wasn’t careful.
“Heya fella. Nice ta meetcha too. I’m not one o’ many men, in fact, this is practically the first time I’ve seen Ryoko around other fellas, but, as her roommate, perhaps yer girl there has seen more’n me. You can never tell, y’know?”
“Good to see you as well. Are you feeling well?”
” I'm good Jun-Bo. Feeling fine, yourself?"
Waitaminute . . . did the samurai guy just hug Ryoko? He was pretty sure the chicky wasn’t into things like that, at least not the girly part of it. He bounced back to his friends’ side and threw an arm over her shoulder, giving the other man a cheerful grin as he shook the hair out of his eyes. His voice was rather teasing, but was there a twinge of protectiveness in Pax’s eyes? It seemed he was out to protect Ryoko.
“Hey, hey there big fella. No pimping, eh? Ryoko needs buddies not boyfriends. Ye don’t need to hit on her, y’know?”
"Why wouldn't I be?"
“So, um, where is your group?"
“I dunno, just a thought I guess. My group’s this way, I can see them from here. Let’s go!”
Hawthorne chuckled and headed over to her pals. There were a few unfamiliar faces, but that was exciting too. She bet she could guess which one was Ayeka’s fiancée. After all, the only other person she couldn’t identify was rather intriguingly wrapped in spiked belts. Still, it was Jun-Bo in his suit that held most of her attention. Damn but he looked good. She blushed, since she was staring, and that wasn’t really cool.
“Hi guys! I rented us a private room in the back, so we don’t have to embarrass ourselves in front of the whole world, join me?”
She indicated behind herself, where the hall led to the private rooms. She wanted to get them all settled, so that they could really start to enjoy their night. Edited by: Hawthorne of Rathelle at: 1/2/07 3:47 pm

*Look to pax as he got all protective over Ryoko. He smirked and looked to Ryoko. He puzzled over why he was doing this. He figured it was because he liked her for more then friends and was too shy to tell her.*
"I am good."
*He looked to the gaming friend and sighed as the man almost demanded that he back off Ryoko. To him it sounded like the desprate words of a man affraid another man was about to take his woman away from him. He gave him a look that spoke about as much. His voice was calm, but it was obvious that he was deathly serious.*
"Look, you are a friend of hers. That's great. Maybe we will be some time. And that you want to protect her is good as well. But when you try to tell me that I can not hug my friend and do what I want with her, wither that is show friendship, or flirt, or try to be more then friends, then you honestly have probelms and need to work threw them."
*He gave the man a warm but serious smile and then turned so he could look to John as he was entroduced. He smirked and steped towards him holding his right hand out to the man. His warm smile was an odd things with the what the man had just told him behind him.*
"Pleasure to meet you. I have heard a bit about you and have looked forward to meet you."

We live so that way the energy of life can continue to use us to as carriers in the world. Each and ever person effects the flow of life energy in the world. If one person was removed, the flow would be altered and everyone in the world is effected even if only on the most basic level. Life is very nice that way. But there are some people out there who have bad chi or life flow and effect everyone in a bad way. They are the ones that need to be removed. When the balance between good and bad chi is upset nature changes. If it shifts to the good side, nature will grew and become stronger. The world becomes more pure and more close to natural. If it shifts to bad, the nature around us starts to die. It can cause the nature around us to rear up and attack us with storms and earthquakes.

Grey tilted his head to look at the new comer, this girl seemed young to have a fiance. The his eyes slid back to the girl called Ryoko. He smiled at her, the full thousand watt smile. He felt a small blush stain his cheeks, she was very cute.
" Well thank you for coming out with me. I really appreciate it. So, you play guitar? Me too. How long have you played?"
Before he had time to answer her question, the man he saw on the roof stepped up for a hug. He frowned was this guy trying something with this girl too. He didn't even try to hear what the strange man( Jun ) said but kept the smile on his face.
“No prob, Ryoko. Anything fer a pal, y’know? Ye gots a good shake there, Grey. And a guitar? Nifty. I gots no musical talent, but I can certainly appreciate someone who does. Mayhap the lassies’ll convince ye to play later. Hey, hey there big fella. No pimping, eh? Ryoko needs buddies not boyfriends. Ye don’t need to hit on her, y’know?”
Grey felt the firs tstiring of his anger, his smile slipped down. He turned his steel gray eyes back to Jun. His eyes held the question, was he trying to harm another girl.
"Look, you are a friend of hers. That's great. Maybe we will be some time. And that you want to protect her is good as well. But when you try to tell me that I can not hug my friend and do what I want with her, wither that is show friendship, or flirt, or try to be more then friends, then you honestly have probelms and need to work threw them."
" Sir, your not up to your tricks again are you."
He stepped over to the other side of Ryoko, if he had to keep another girl safe from this evil being he would. His voice becomes deeper, the flick of power causing his body to stir. He held it back, no need to schock them yet.
"If any lass asks me to play my guitar I would be honored. I would also be honored to protect anyone of them form this man. "

Re: Dragon's Breath Karaoke Bar ((Invite Only, PM to join))
Ayeka noticed Ryoko and Pax whispering something to one another and watched as John greeted the rest of the group. She shifted uncomfortably when Jun hugged Ryoko however the next few moments would prove to make things more uncomfortable. First Pax shot a comment at Jun for hugging Ryoko, then Jun responded by shooting back. To add more fuel to the fire Grey decided to step into the conflict and seemed to side with Pax.
Ayeka could feel the tension mounting after Grey threw his two sense in. Before it appeared to be merely a mis understanding however, from the look in his eyes Ayeka could see he was ready to fight. Although Ayeka didn't know Pax well he seemed to be to passive to make things physical and while Jun had the potential to fight he was not the kind of person who would.
Ayeka suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Grey, her cloudy grey eyes showing how serious she was.
"Now listen here you, tonight is supposed to be about enjoying good company, you were not invited but we have been kind enough to allow you to join us. So if you want to fight well then you can leave right now because you will not ruin our evening."
John was shocked that Ayeka had stepped forward. Although she was the kind of person to stand up if she saw a problem after she had explained earlier about what Sakura had done to her he thought perhaps she would be more careful. He walked up and place his hand on her shoulder and gently pulled her away from Grey.

Ryoko didn't acknowledge John, she was more focused on what Pax had said. Did he really think she had more men? She didn't even have one to begin with. You can't have more if you don't even have one at all. She just figured he was joking, because it seemed like something he would do. She glared at him, but to him it should have been obvious she was only teasing.
“Hey, hey there big fella. No pimping, eh? Ryoko needs buddies not boyfriends. Ye don’t need to hit on her, y’know?”
When Pax threw his arm around Ryoko, it didn't bother her at all. She was used to the way he acted like that. When she listened to him talk about pimping, it made her smile and laugh a little. He was a joker all the time, and that's one of the reasons why she loved hanging out with him. Plus he was a gamer, and she needed a friend like that. She was looking up at her tall friend until she heard Jun speak.
"Look, you are a friend of hers. That's great. Maybe we will be some time. And that you want to protect her is good as well. But when you try to tell me that I can not hug my friend and do what I want with her, wither that is show friendship, or flirt, or try to be more then friends, then you honestly have problems and need to work threw them."
" What?" Ryoko asked initially, but her voice faded into a whisper. What was he talking about, try to be more than friends. Jun didn't like her that way, did he? If he did she was never aware of that. This information was new to her, and it showed on her face. But she also couldn't understand why he got so worked up when Pax was only teasing. " What do... you mean?" Ryoko asked, her voice filled with confusion.
" Sir, your not up to your tricks again are you."..."If any lass asks me to play my guitar I would be honored. I would also be honored to protect anyone of them form this man."
Then the stranger moved to her other side, and he seemed to be defending her as well. But what tricks was Jun up to? This whole situation was getting way out of hand, it was just a joke taken the wrong way. " Tricks? What tricks are you talking about Grey?" Ryoko asked, very interested to hear what Grey was talking about.
"Now listen here you, tonight is supposed to be about enjoying good company, you were not invited but we have been kind enough to allow you to join us. So if you want to fight well then you can leave right now because you will not ruin our evening."
Now Ayeka was getting angry? This had gone too far. Everyone just needed to calm down. At that point Ryoko just wanted to leave. Maybe if she left all this would have stopped. No, of course it wouldn't have. She spied Hawthorne coming towards them and breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe she could get them out of this.
“Hi guys! I rented us a private room in the back, so we don’t have to embarrass ourselves in front of the whole world, join me?”
Finally Ryoko decided to speak up. If she said a little maybe she could walk away with these two boys and everything would be alright. She reached over and locked her arm's in with Grey's and looked over to Jun. " Jun-Bo, don't even worry about it. Pax was just joking around, but you might have missed that. I'm not mad at you, or Pax, or anyone. This fight is stupid. It's going to ruin the night if you keep going, so lets just end it here." She said.
Ryoko looked to Hawthorne, and motioned for her to take them to the private rooms. She took both boys with her as she walked after her. Ryoko didn't want to give either boy a real chance to say anything back to him. She swapped looks between them both and spoke to them when they were away from everyone else. " Just leave him be, don't spoil the night." She whispered.

Re: Dragon's Breath Karaoke Bar ((Invite Only, PM to join))
Pax’s grin faded as the man seemed to take offence to his teasing. Perhaps not everyone had a sense of humour, but he thought that all Ryoko’s friends would at least, well, all of them but the green-haired demon-lady. The more the samurai spoke, the more like some kinda whipped puppy Pax looked. He slumped his shoulders, and damn near pouted.
"Look, you are a friend of hers. That's great. Maybe we will be some time. And that you want to protect her is good as well. But when you try to tell me that I can not hug my friend and do what I want with her, wither that is show friendship, or flirt, or try to be more then friends, then you honestly have probelms and need to work threw them."
He was obviously young and inexperienced here at least, that’s what his reaction showed. It was prolly because he was the youngest in his family, and had been spoiled so horribly as a child. Pax never felt the need to be the macho man, and now was no exception. He had the biggest look of hurt on his face, and his lower lip trembled a bit.
" What do... you mean?"
Ryoko seemed as confused as he was by what was going on, which relieved Pax a little bit. He was teasing her earlier, but he would have been a little uncomfortable if the gamer girl really did have hordes of boys waiting in the wings to sweep her away from the gaming console.
“I was only joking guy . . .”
" Sir, your not up to your tricks again are you."
" Tricks? What tricks are you talking about Grey?"
Tricks?!? The guy had tricks? This was no good . . . Pax released Ryoko’s shoulder and backed up. Sure he was tall, but the other guy was tough looking, and, quite frankly, looked a whole heck of a lot stronger than Pax. He’d let Ryoko field this one since she was strong and fast.
"If any lass asks me to play my guitar I would be honored. I would also be honored to protect anyone of them form this man. "
Damn, Grey was getting all evil-eyed, and that was not cool. Pax did not want to be in the middle of a bar-fight, especially between these two. They both looked strong and fast, and the lanky boy was definitely feeling out-of-place and uncomfortable. He sniffed the air, but it didn’t smell like either of the two had been drinking yet tonight.
"Now listen here you, tonight is supposed to be about enjoying good company, you were not invited but we have been kind enough to allow you to join us. So if you want to fight well then you can leave right now because you will not ruin our evening."
Damn the demon-chicky was getting all up in this guy’s face, which was even scarier to Pax then Jun and Grey facing off. Her fella seemed to be trying to calm her down, but damn. Pax knew he shouldn’t of come out tonight. Why had he let Ryoko convince him otherwise? Stupid.
" Jun-Bo, don't even worry about it. Pax was just joking around, but you might have missed that. I'm not mad at you, or Pax, or anyone. This fight is stupid. It's going to ruin the night if you keep going, so lets just end it here."
Hawthorne looked startled and turned to Datu, who was supposedly following behind her. Had he heard the sounds of an argument? The situation did look a little tense. Oh! And look! Ryoko had her arms locked with two guys, Ayeka would never let her live that down.
“Umm . . . the room is over this way . . .”
Still unsure about what was going on here, she followed Ryoko’s suit and linked arms with both Datu and Jun-Bo, since Ayeka had John and that left the other two boys unaccompanied.
" Just leave him be, don't spoil the night.
When Pax whispered back to Ryoko, there was a distinct whine in his voice, but the teasing tone was back into his voice.

*If some one took the time to look at Jun's face they would not be able to tell he was so pissed he wanted to kill Grey or pissed enough to leave. This was probelly the first time that he had lost his cool in front of most of the people there. He did not like when his honor was called into question. The tricks that fool was talking of was a mis-understanding and that bastard knew it. He just still wanted to piss him off.
He watched as Ryoko took both Pax and Grey and walked off, which also confused him. She was taking saids with them. Did she believe them. With pax it was possible, but why Grey. He was starting to turn to leave when Haw took his arm in her and start taking him the direction they were going. 'Damn it' he thought, 'I do not want to be here right now, but I do not want to be rude either'. He was not sure what he was going to do. But for now he followed along with Haw.
Both of his hands were clenched into fists as he was trying to calm him self down. All it would take is another comment from grey about, that time on the roof and he was going to either put the man in the hosiptial or leave. Though leaving at this point did not seem like it would be an option. Of the rest of the people there, there was no one strong enough to stop him either, it would be the small man's funneral.
You could tell he was still upset. He had done little to calm down. He wanted to thrash something. He voice was low and deadly, yet soft.*
"I....he...."
*He looked to the Grey and more then a little mad at him. It just pissed him off so bad when people thrashed his honor for no reason what so ever. Like he would try to rape a girl, stupid bastard, needs to be put thru a wall. He thought to him self 'and will be if he keeps questioning my honor'. He continued to move along with them, but he was very much staying to him self. His mouth was locked shut.*

Grey watched as Jun seemed to seath with anger, he tilted his head as many thoughts raced by. He remembered somthing Cherry had once told him, Jun was very controlled but he was very strong. His attention was caught by the approaching girl, her grey eyes held thunder.
"Now listen here you, tonight is supposed to be about enjoying good company, you were not invited but we have been kind enough to allow you to join us. So if you want to fight well then you can leave right now because you will not ruin our evening."
He bowed his head, he didnot want to offend the hostess of the party.
" My lady, i apologize for my abrupt behavior. I will try harder to just enjoy the company and music. I will gladly by a few rounds of drinks and food to make it up to you."
Her fiance came and pulled her away, he was really going to have to do better.
" What?... What do... you mean? Tricks? What tricks are you talking about Grey? Jun-Bo, don't even worry about it. Pax was just joking around, but you might have missed that. I'm not mad at you, or Pax, or anyone. This fight is stupid. It's going to ruin the night if you keep going, so lets just end it here."
His eyes went back to the girl, she seemed confused. It made him feel even more guilty. The other man began to back up, sn that drew his eyes. Beofer he could say anyhting again, he felt her arm on his, then she was drawing them away. She led them into another room. He looked back over his shoulder, Jun was seething. He smiled his white teeth flash, it almost made him laugh. She had been wrong his control was slipping, he would have to stay very quite tonight. He flipped his hair as he looked back at the girl.
" My lady I apologize it just seems that the man and I...do not see eye to eye on somethings. But I want this night to be fun for all of us. Would you grant me the honor of a song. Maybe somehting we can do together?"
His voice was low and soft, he didn't want to startle anyone with his bold reguest.

Ayeka watched as the series of events took place before her, firstly Ryoko had dragged the two boys away in order to solve the conflict in front of them. Ayeka made a mental note to tease her for having the two men by the arm however it was not the right time to tease her now that it was so tense. She studied Jun's face as he was left standing there he did not look happy at all. Her initial reaction was to console him however she thought it might be best to leave him alone for now.
Ayeka was expecting the short man to snap back at her, it seemed to be the way problems were solved here at MHS and she had wound up in some very awkward moments because of it. The entire group then seemed to move towards the private booth perhaps things would loosen up there. Ayeka looked back at John, the poor boy seemed totally at aloss for what was happening.
"Are you alright?" She asked him he shrugged and took her by the hand.
"I have a feeling this party made need alot of alcohol..." He mumbled to his fiance. Ayeka giggled and walked alongside of him she had missed his wit most of all. John let go of Ayeka and quickened his pace to talk to grey.
"Please excuse my Ayeka, she is....in order to avoid getting into trouble i'll say "passionate" He said smiling at the boy. Ayeka wasn't a bad person, she was simply used to getting her way and hence had become very forceful at times.
Re: Dragon's Breath Karaoke Bar ((Invite Only, PM to join))
“But he started it.”
Ryoko sighed as she kept her arms on the two of them. That was a tense situation, and she was just happy to get out of it, for now anyway. But she just had to make sure that didn't arise again. How to do that? Maybe she should talk to Jun-Bo, yet she had a feeling she didn't want to look back and see how she was. Ah screw it, she looked back to get a look of him. He seemed mad, probably at Grey. If it was at Pax then she wouldn't be very happy about that.
" My lady I apologize it just seems that the man and I...do not see eye to eye on somethings. But I want this night to be fun for all of us. Would you grant me the honor of a song. Maybe something we can do together?"
The end of what Grey had to say threw Ryoko off a little. He wanted to do a song with her? She looked away from Jun and wondered how to get out of the situation. After all, the red eyed girl really came to hear Ayeka sing, she wasn't planning on doing it herself. She shrugged lightly before answering him. " Uh... I'm not sure... I uh... I can't sing." She flat out lied, smiling at him.
When Ryoko got to the rooms, she let the two boys go, allowing them to enter. But for herself, she turned to the people that were following her, and walked over to Jun-Bo, getting a hold of his arm. She looked to Hawthorne and nodded lightly, giving her a rather serious look, something not often sported by Ryoko. She pulled Jun-Bo aside, taking it upon herself to calm him down.
When they were away from the group, Ryoko looked up to her friend. She didn't want anything stupid to happen when they got in that room. Jun was so angry it seemed like one comment from Grey would set him over the edge. While still holding onto his arm, Ryoko gave Jun a serious yet concerned look. " Are you alright? You seem pretty mad. Don't let what Grey said get to you, no one hear believes him anyway. We all know your better than that." She began.
After a light sigh, Ryoko continued. " This seems pretty important to Hawthorne. I just don't want it to all get messed up for her, y'know? So do you think you'll be alright around Grey or do you need a minute to calm down?" She asked. Ryoko really didn't want this night to get messed up. Though she wanted him to know that, she tried to word it so he didn't think she was blaming him.

Re: Dragon's Breath Karaoke Bar ((Invite Only, PM to join)) "I....he...."
Hawthorne gave Jun a stern look and tugged on his arm. She wouldn't let the boys and their silly fighting ruin her evening. After all, she had wanted to spend some time with Jun-Bo, in a group setting so that there was no pressure. She loved to sing, and she knew she was pretty good at it, so this was the perfect place, and now people were ruining it.
"Let it go Jun. You have to stop taking everything that everyone says so seriously. Let it go, please. For me."
She looked up at him with a pleading look in her eyes, practically begging him to let it go. She wanted this night to be perfect. Then as they made it to the room, Ryoko came over and linked up with Jun's other arm, so Haw released him and dragged Datu into the room.
Pax, meanwhile, had settled himself onto the chair that was the farthest away from the devil microphone. He didn't sing, and he was gonna keep it that way. He turned to the Grey fella.
"So, interesting night so far, eh?"
Meanwhile, Hawthorne was trying to think of a way to break up the tension, and she was pretty sure she had a good one. A light, funny song to brighten the mood a little. It was cute, and it still reflected how she was thinking about Jun, especially when he distanced himself from her. She picked up the mic, and cleared her throat, before launching into song.

When you're not on this ride,
So pack your bags there's nothing to it,
Call in sick and stay,
With me everyday,
Call in sick and run away.
Have you been dreaming?
Have you been wondering the same?
Oh how I missed you,
Oh how I needed you today,
It's never felt more to see your face,
To wake up next to you,
Inside your roaming grace.
So pack your bags there's nothing to it,
Call in sick and stay,
With me everyday,
Call in sick and run away.
Call in sick and be,
On the run with me,
Call in sick and run away, away, with me.
I've spent and i'm tired of getting bent,
And i'm tired of always looking forward to a better day.
I've spent and I hate feeling so used
And I hate my attitude,
I've gone and lost and run away
(Call in sick and stay,With me
everyday,Call in sick and run away.)

When she finished she wandered over to where Pax was sitting and pulled him to his feet. She was gonna help her BFF with her mission to socialize the gamer. So she gave him a devilish look.
"Your turn."
"Umm, I don't sing." "You do now, do it for Koko."
Pax sighed, assuming that if he didn't do it willingly, Ryoko would do it for him, so, looking pained, he picked up the microphone. Clearing his throat he started to sing in a clear, if off-key, voice. He was pretty sure that no one here would know the Dresden Dolls, but they were his dirty little secret.

*First Haw told him to calm the hell down and he was trying, but he had other issues he was dealing with as well, so it was not an easy issue. He was about to say something and then Ryoko grabbed his arm and dragged him back from the group and then she told him to calm down.
He took a deep breath and then exhaled, his whole bdoy shook with the exhale. To be honest he looked almost like he was going to cry. He grinned and laughed nervously for a moment as she tried to get him self under control.
Ya he knew he had to look like he was about to break down and loose it. He was close to loosing it enough that he was going to need with a brick wall of a drink.*
"No I am not ok, I have some things bother me and I need something, but gah.. never mind I will deal with."
*He closed his eyes and tilted his head to the right and just keep going tell his neck poped. He seemed like he was relaxing. When his eyes opened back up, he had force all the thoughts in his mind to the back and seemed almost back to normal. He had almost told her about his probelm, but she had not asked to know, so he had no right to burden her with his probelms.*
"Ya I know she wants it prefect. I am alright now, let us join them, before they take it the wrong way."
*He heard some singing going on, but at this time the words were not coming to him as his mind was still lost on the probelms he was causing as well as the probelms he had left to slove.*

We live so that way the energy of life can continue to use us to as carriers in the world. Each and ever person effects the flow of life energy in the world. If one person was removed, the flow would be altered and everyone in the world is effected even if only on the most basic level. Life is very nice that way. But there are some people out there who have bad chi or life flow and effect everyone in a bad way. They are the ones that need to be removed. When the balance between good and bad chi is upset nature changes. If it shifts to the good side, nature will grew and become stronger. The world becomes more pure and more close to natural. If it shifts to bad, the nature around us starts to die. It can cause the nature around us to rear up and attack us with storms and earthquakes.

He let his eyes search ehr face, he nodded and walked into the room with Pax. He looked around thier was enough stuff in her to make it a good party. A part of him wanted to just be back at the dorm. Heck he would even settle the club with Cherry if this didn't work out. He was seated next to PAx, his guitar bag on his lap.
"So, interesting night so far, eh?"
Grey watched the girl Hawthorne walk on to the stage, she seemed to have a song already picked out. He shrugged and then looked at Pax.
" It seems like it will be a very intresting night. I just hope when I sing I do not offend anyone....Do you think they serve drinks here?"

Next thing he knew the girl had talked Pax into singing, he smiled as the boy started. He seemed very nervous, Grey looked at the girl.
" You have a very lovely voice...do you preform at shows?"
He unslid the guitar from its black bag. It gleamed in the light, it was ebony and steel. Thier were long grey and white feathers etched into its dark surface. He ran his hand down it lovingly.

He smiles as the boys song ends, he knows what song he wants to do. He bows to Hawthorne.
" We will continue this conversation in a moment, i have this urge to sing. "
He walked to the stage and smiled at pax, he dialed int he number he needed and then the music started. His voice was not as deep when he sung but the tone was good and he had sstyle. He sat the guitar down, he would use it later. His dark eyes watched the screen but he knew the words.
Hey j-jaded
You got your mamma's style
But you're yesterday's child to me
So jaded
You think that's where it's at
But is that where it's s'posed to be
You're gettin' it all over me
X-rated
My, my baby blue
Yeah I've been thinking about you
My, my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded
And I'm the one that jaded you
Hey j-jaded
In all its misery it will always be
What I loved and hated
And maybe take a ride to
The other side we're thinking of
We'll slip into the velvet glove
And be jaded
My, my baby blue
Yeah I've been thinking about you
My, my baby blue
Yeah I'm so jaded
And baby I'm afraid of you
You're thinking's so complicated
I've had it all up to here
But it's so overrated
Love and hate it
Wouldn't trade it
Love me jaded
Hey j-jaded
There ain't no baby please
When I'm shootin' the breeze with her
When everything you see is a blur
And ecstacy's what you prefer
My, my baby blue
I'm talking about you
My, my baby blue
Yeah, I've been thinking about you
My, my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded (baby)
Jaded (baby)
You're so jaded
'Cos I'm the one who jaded you

Ryoko listened to him talk. It seemed like Jun could handle whatever he was dealing with in his head, yet in the back of her mind, she knew he was trying to blow it over. Maybe he just didn't want her to ask him about it... She was worried that if she asked what the problem was, then he would get more angry because he would have to talk about it. So Ryoko wouldn't ask then, but she'd show him that she wanted to know anyway. She took a step closer to him before putting her arms around his waist and pulling him into a hug.
" You don't have to tell me about it if you really don't want to. But just know that I'll listen if you want someone to talk to. It makes me worried to see you this angry. I just don't want you to do something you'll regret because I care about you." Ryoko explained. She froze suddenly and thought over what she'd said. She told him she cared about him, that wasn't very like her at all.
She quickly took a step back and tried to cover her inner confusion with a smile. " Your right Jun, they might suspect something if we don't go in there now. Too clever." Ryoko explained. She just wanted to get out of the situation. The red eyed girl heard a male singing and she wondered who it was. They weren't very good, but there was nothing wrong with that. " Who is that?" She asked, getting a little distracted from the problem standing in front of her. She stuck her head in the doorway.
It seemed that she caught Pax's performance. When he was finished and Grey got up, she pointed to Pax, biting her tongue as she laughed quietly. She then turned her attention to Grey. When he was finished, Ryoko realised that someone had to go next. Like hell it was going to be her! She needed a reason to leave for a while. She looked to Ayeka and John, and remembered hearing John mention something about alcohol.
That's it! Ryoko would do a drink run. It was the perfect way to get out of them possibly making her sing for a little while. She stood in the doorway after Jun-Bo had gone to sit down. " I think I'll go get drinks. Anyone want anything?" She asked, rather proud of herself for thinking of this way to get out of singing.

Ayeka sat down next to John on the lounge and watched her three friends perform. They were all very good singers and she was pleased by the effort they put in. She casually browsed through a book of possible songs and thought about which ones she might like to sing, she would wait a while though as she was not that confident.
John was surprised by the quality singing in the room, he wasn't going to get up and sing anything but he did enjoy listening to them all sing. When Ryoko asked if anyone wanted anything he raised his hand towards her.
"I'll have a scotch" he said reaching for his wallet. Ayeka shot her fiancee a disapproving glance then turned to Ryoko.
"No you won't have a scotch John. We'll each just have a lemonade." She was about to reach for her wallet when John got up and walked towards the door.
"i'll help you get the drinks" He said to Ryoko as he walked out the door. Ayeka glared at Ryoko and mouthed at her "if you hurt him i will kill you." When John was out the door he looked back to Ryoko, who was still standing in the door taking orders and said softly.
"my god I'll need a scotch to get through this"

Re: Dragon's Breath Karaoke Bar ((Invite Only, PM to join)) " It seems like it will be a very intresting night. I just hope when I sing I do not offend anyone....Do you think they serve drinks here?"
Pax grinned at the other fella, leaning back and enjoying listening to Ryoko's friend. She could sing well. He chuckled at Grey.
"I hope they serve drinks here, Ryoko promised me drinks, its the only reason I came."
Hawthorne slid neatly into Pax's seat as he got up to sing. She gave him a little wave and he stuck his tongue out at her before launching into song. He wasn't that good, but he was participating. She turned as Grey began to speak to her.
" You have a very lovely voice...do you preform at shows?"
She blushed. She knew she could sing, and she had been complimented before, but each and every time it happened she was surprised. She fidgeted with the hem of her dress and chewed on her lip ring.
"I don't perform in shows. I'm usually pretty shy, its just that its mainly my friends here, so I'm not as worried."
Pax fled the stage like it was on fire, darting into a corner and sitting alone. Ryoko came in and . . . was she laughing at him? No way! That was not cool. Maybe he would leave, he didn't see any drinks.
" We will continue this conversation in a moment, i have this urge to sing. "
She smiled at him and got comfortable, waving as Ryoko and Jun enter the room. Poor Pax, looks like Ryoko had managed to hear him singing, that should be entertaining. Still, as Grey finished she noted that no one else looked like they were going to get up and sing. So she stepped up to the microphone, touching Grey's shoulder and complimenting his singing voice as she passed him.
She took the microphone and her eyes went dark, a stormy grey that reflected the mood of the song. Singing was performing, and Grey had reminded her of that. She looked at each member of the group, eyes lingering on Jun for a moment longer than the rest of them. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Hey girl, you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Cover up with make up in the mirror
tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again
you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.
I see the way you go and say you're right again,
say you're right again
heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
Face down in the dirt, she said,
this doesn't hurt, she said,
I finally had enough.
[x2]
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
he's coming round again.
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end

*As Ryoko went to walk out to get drinks he leaned in close to her and whispered into her ear softly. He was trying to make sure no one would be able to hear it. He did not need more people asking him about things. Then again they might anyways.*
*whisper* "I will talk to you later about it."
*Once he had whispered that to her he moved further into the room and looked to Haw as she started to sing. He grinned lightly as she let her self go and got into the song. She had a nice voice, he might have to tell he such later if he got the chance.
His mood was still not the best, but it had strightened it self out to a point where he could control it. He looked over each person in turn. He waited there for a second wondering where he should sit down. He did not have a place in mind so he just looked around for now.*

"I'll have a scotch"..."No you won't have a scotch John. We'll each just have a lemonade."..."i'll help you get the drinks"
Ryoko simply laughed at the bickering couple. It was funny how Ayeka controlled John. And when Ayeka mouthed something to Ryoko, she bit her tongue and mouthed back " Well I just might." It was so much fun to mess with Ayeka. What she said should have gotten her a little rowdy.
"I will talk to you later about it."
Ryoko kept looking forward as he spoke. After he did she just watched him enter the room. A moment passed before she finally spoke. " Uh... sure." She replied. Damnit all... Ryoko thought. She looked to Pax and nodded, a cheeky smile on her face. " Don't worry darling, I promise I'll get you something. Now don't you worry, I'll be right back dear. Try not to miss me too much!" She teased, before blowing him a kiss and turning away.
"my god I'll need a scotch to get through this"
Nodding, Ryoko began to walk with John to the bar. She suddenly remembered that she didn't bring any money to this thing. The young thief knew Ayeka was coming. And well... Ayeka had money, a lot of it. She assumed she would pay for things! Ryoko leaned over to John. " You better have money... Cause uh... I didn't bring any, rich boy." She said to him, smiling.

Ayeka glared a hole through Ryoko as she turned to leave, she would have replied however the thief had left before she had the chance. She knew Ryoko was only stirring her to get a reaction but damit she knew exactly how to press the rich girls buttons. She decided that perhaps she should do a bit of stirring of her own. When the two left she slid over next to Pax and batted her eyes at her.
"So, has Ryoko explained to you all about her other little "dates?" Ayeka asked looking very concerned.
John walked with Ryoko towards the bar, from what he could tell everything Ayeka had said about her was probably just her being...well Ayeka. When the girl asked about money he laughed and reached for his wallet.
"Don't worry i can cover it" he said smiling at he girl. As he walked he decided he'd try and discover how much of what Ayeka had told him was true about the school.
so, this school of yours...is it really as violent as Ayeka makes it out to be?" he asked.
