"Of course!" she smiled as she pulled her messenger bag on and adjusted her glasses. "I can't have you dying now before I get a chance to fight you" she smiled and giggled as she poked him in the chest as she walked out. "Later!" she said said gingerly as she raiser her hand up as she walked away. 'Hope Stein didn't worry too much' she thought as she walked home. "Huh... I wonder where Shizu is...Oh well, back to work" she said nonchalantly as he continued typing away at his typewriter on the keishen appearances of late, and knew if ll the small ones came to surface, then a bigger problem will soon erupt.

"Ha-ha very funny" she said blandly as she slipped on her shoes, "Oh... what happened to you?" she asked as she turned around and noticed his injury she stepped over and poked his injury out of curiosity, something she obtained from Stein over the years. "Hmm it's not too bad, just minor, here..." she placed her hand over his wound and slammed her hand hard into it 'Medi-hypothermia: Sutures' she whispered softly as she let her freezing soul wave length pass over his wound. "There... how's that?" she asked as she retracted her hand and rubbed it gingerly to get it warm again.

Shizu woke up abruptly and sat up on her cot, "What... where am I? And why does my head hurt so much..." She said to no one in particular as she rubbed her head. she looked over to the side of her bed and saw her glasses resting on the table, she picked them up and put them on, allowing her eyes to readjust to the clearness of the world around her. She frowned and remembered why she was in the room that smelled of sanitation and other various medicinal smells, 'That's right... I dropped all those books on my head' she thought to herself as she rubbed her forehead. She got up and began gathering her things and prepared to leave the office.

Stine smiled "Well of course you'll have to carry him across town, think of it as punishment for bringing a pet to school" he said jokingly to Keshamaru. "He'll wake up in about 15 to 30 minutes, it was only a light sedative that I gave him." Stine sat back down at his desk and started to go through some papers he had initially intended to go through, as he heard Seth's dull voice "You're very much welcome Seth, But today was just a warm up in comparison to the fight you'll have with my daughter" Stine laughed a bit and continued to work. "Oh, hey" Shizu said as Seth came up next to her outside of the class, "Stine gave me some money to go out for something, we should see if Keshamaru and Sula wanna come with us." She said as she tried to get a better grip on her books, but just as she did someone bumped into her and she fell back and all her books fell, unfortunately one fell stray and hit her on the head, heavy enough to knock her out.

Stine looked confused at the new pair as he held his hand up, "everyone stop, It appears we have a couple of late students" Shizu frowned, "And what makes you think that's your father?!" She finally said out loud pointing at Stine, she blushed a bit knowing she was being too loud. The room fell silent for a moment and then... *Briiiiiiiiinnng* "Oh, it appears as though we're out of time for today." Stine said nonchalantly, "As for homework you're all to tell me what you learned today while fighting me, and no sarcasm" he smiled and winked at Nat as he had his hand cannon pointing at Stine at point blank range. Shizu Sighed as she packed up her things and struggled once again to carry her assessment of school textbooks, she walked over to Stine as the other were leaving and asked "What was with that kid calling you dad?" she asked a bit angrily. "Not sure, but he must be confusing me with someone else.." Stine sighed, he knew this made Shizu upset for some reason, so he decided to make it up to her, "Tell you what, why don't you take your friends out for some pizza or ice cream or something, my treat." he said and smiled as he handed her some money "Oh wow, thank you Stine!" Shizu said as she hugged him tightly and ran out to meet up with her new friends. 'Good, keeps her out of the lab for a few hours so I can look into something while she's away' he though somberly.

Stine grunted as Seth attacked him from behind 'Bingo... Just as planed' He smiled maliciously as he changed his soul wave length to that of Seth's, canceling the electric shock from his attack. "Glad you could join us in the fight Seth" Stine said coldly and smugly as he reached behind him grabbing Seth by the neck and flipping him over him onto the desk in front of him and sent the same pulse of electricity down Seth's spine as Seth had tried, paralyzing his legs and arms so he couldn't move. "Two down, two to go", he said solemnly to him self as he set sutures over Seth's moth so he could give out Stines position again in the smoke.

"Going all out huh?" Stine grunted as felt the dog tugging at him, he then saw the arrow coming at him and smiled he picked up Kekoshi, his next move needed to be quick to be able to pull off the distraction he needed. "Experimental Ectoplasm", he softly said as he focused his soul wave length to create his expanding soul double, but with enough wave length to make the soul double black, as well as fake Kekoshi's soul wave length and to block the incoming arrow. As this all occurred Stine injected Kekoshi with a sedative to put him to sleep for an hour, he then matched his soul wave length to Kekoshi's and set an aura around him as he then set his double to explode covering the class in a thick smoke. He then took the opportunity to run behind Sula and her meister, he needed to wait for the smoke to settle before he could start the next part of his attack, it had to work off the shock and surprise of his presence.

Stine quickly acted as the bayonet nearly missed his arm, he took position and slammed his hands against Nat's chest "Double Palm Soul Force-Twin Spears" he grunted as he connected his soul wave force at Nat's chest knocking him back before he could get a shot off from his leg cannon knocking him on to his back, possibly unconscious, but not as powerful as he usualy hits so not as to cause Nat any serious internal damage. "The purpose of this Seth, is that you're all supposed to be working as a team, no matter how slim the odds are, you always back up your comrades." Stine said coolly as he stood up and adjusted his glasses, "But so far you're all failing to see that fact, and are going to fail if this keeps up." He extended his hand to has head and twisted his screw a few times and looked towards the other boy and girl, "Care to make your move yet you two?" he glanced over at Seth "Or maybe you?"

As the dust settled from Nat's attack, Stine still sat in his chair unscathed. He mockingly faked a yawn and sighed, "Surely that isn't all you can do?" Stine stood up and rolled his head to the side and cracked it. "Your soul wave isn't self-sustaining like Justin Law's, you have a long ways to go if you plan to be anything like him." Stine pointed a finger at Nat's transformed arm "Your aim is off by 2.376 centimeters because you have no true sight behind your actions, if kid were here he would be disgusted in your accuracy, but I'll just have to take advantage of it" Stine snickered a bit and again tuned the screw to his head to clearly see his path to the student, in a way of distraction Stine tore off his lab coat and tossed it in the air as he sped towards Nat at a break neck speed as he dropped to his hands and round gave a round house kick which connected right below his knee.

Stine saw the boy's soul wave length, 'He's arrogant and over confident, but he's strong.' Stine analyzed as he started at the boy's soul, 'Maybe I could get him angry so he'll try and attack me.' Stine smiled, "My dear boy, I could beat you while sitting in this chair with my eye's closed" he said she he stared daggers at the boy "Go on, make your move there sport." Stine thought to himself as he prepared himself mentally before the boy had a chance to decide if he would attack first or not, 'If I'm correct he's a ranged weapon from what I heard about his performance in his last class, if he moves first I'll dodge it and counter with a kick to his shins, and make him lose he's center balance... If he doesn't make his move first, then that will give me a chance to be creative.'

'Please Stine... don't go all out this time...' Shizu thought solemnly as she watched and felt the tension build in the air Stine looked between his students reading their emotions, trying to predict their future moves. He knew already that two of them were an established pair, and were a ranged duo, 'I'll have to watch out for ranged attacks and sever the meisters' soul wave length from the weapon so he won't be able to use it let alone even pick them up.' he thought carefully. 'The other two must be the lone weapon, and a lone meister...' the weapon he knew he could take, but the meister... he could be like Blackstar and may be able to use soul attacks. Stine lifted his hand to his screw and turned it a few times, "So, who's first?" he stopped turning and smiled crookedly, "And may I add, if you don't attack me, you will fail my class."

"Well, now that the formalities are out of the way let's start class." Stine stated blandly as he searched his coat pockets for his lighter. "Really? You know those cigarettes will end up being the death of you.." shizu sighed as she took her seat. "More likely to die by a witch's hand than these relaxing babies." she said with a wink as he finally lit his cigarette and took a long drag. "Now as for class today... You're all in for a real treat" Stine stood up and walked in front of his desk and put out his cigarette nonchalantly and adjusted his glasses. "You're all going to fight me." he said with a warm smile. "Except you Shizu... It'd be cheating if I let you join in, after all you already know how to fight me." "But that's not fair!" Shizu pouted as she slumped down in her seat "You know damn we you're doing this on purpose because I took the last muffin this morning" she said in spite. Stine smiled and knew he was doing this for that exact reason, blueberry was his favorite after all, "I don't know what you mean my darling dearest Shizu" Stine playfully said receiving a crimson red face in response from Shizu.

Hmm opening up with a Benny Goodman classic, nice. I still hold Artie Shaw above him though http://youtu.be/1OixqPThDNE I like his version of stardust better than most others because it just has that extra swing feel to it :3

First question that I would ask myself (if I were writing it) how is he going to get "there"? Train is decent but doesn't allow for much action or drama, but more of a filler where he can look back on memories of why he's doing this and his thoughts on his decisions about it. He could go by foot, but there's multiple paths you could take, he could hit the road and follow it's winding path, though no doubt it would lead to the next town, or he could risk life and limb by trekking through the Everfree forest, but I wouldn't suggest that in my opinion because he's just a kid, and it'd be hard to give much t him in defense rather than run or evade his pursuer. I think if you wen this way it gives you more literary sandbox space to work, there's much more that could happen by chance or coincidence. One other random idea could be Pinkie's hot air balloon, it'd be interesting to use as well as using that as one of his first over coming obstacles such as the balloon becoming punctured, or running low on full, or heck even crashing into a mountain side. Random thoughts I had going through my head as I was typing out ideas of travel.

No, her name did come up (Tiberia Wind) as well as BlueBlood when asking who the boss was. I just found it easier to reply with "Mare" rather than typing out Tiberia, that and laziness X3

It's really well done, And I tired it multiple times with all 3 races and found no bugs, other than the demo ending after agreeing to leave with the mare to meet The Organizer, Unless that is a bug XP. But other than that I'm a bit excited for the release on EqD

I know a good handful, not a WHOLE lot, but enough to get me by X3 there's Blood Tsunami, Atheist, Dead Brain Cells, Xentrix, Nevermore, Metallica, Messiah, Slayer, Exodust, Pantera, Toxic Holocaust, Venom, Mega Death, and Testament. All I can think of off the top of my head right now, pretty sure there's more on my MP3 player. Edit: OH I almost forgot Sodom... and I was listening to them as I was typing this too ;~; lol...

It just takes practice and patience, a lot of it. As to what you should do, is whatever you're more comfortable with. For me I'm more comfortable with pencil and pen, and if I ever do use a paint program it's PaintToolSAI, pretty decent program and easy to use, and pretty cheep as well. And if you're too busy to draw one for yourself but have a reference of what you want you could always post on Creative Resources and see if anyone would willingly do it for you.

Eh, for me I didn't care much for Power From Hell, they were still punk at that time and I'm not THAT big of a punk fan but I'll listen to it now and then. The Force was better in my opinion cause they got darker and started converting over to thrash. In Search of Sanity is probably the best album in my opinion, they have SO much going on in that album, I could listen to that fucker on repeat for days on end X3 My favorite song has to be this one though: http-~~-//youtu.be/HFnWgosW-uY I'm not sure how to feel about it honestly. I mean sure it's hard and a great listen to, but for some reason it just doesn't feel like the old Onslaught. It feels a bit modernized, take that how you will. But... eh I guess if I word it to an action it feels more like something I could headbang or circle pit to rather than moshpit to.

Thrash is all good, there's alot of thrash like music on KillingFloor alone X3 http-~~-//youtu.be/6YFunYXk0jo But I also really like listening to Slayer or Onslaught when I'm playing LFD, LoL, WoW, Borderlands, or even just grinding on Maplestory (guilty pleasure) X3 http-~~-//youtu.be/yHvqNe9lVi8

Oh man, thanks NNL <3 Half I have listened to and do enjoy, but the other half I have yet to experience X3. I'll have to give them a listen through as I play some LFD/2 or some other killing spree game XP Speaking of hardcore drummers, reminded me of Dance Club Massacre, but they're more Grindcore than Metalcore :x http-~~-//youtu.be/2a5ReBmM29Y

That's what got me into SYL <3~ I think it was the drummer that got me to like SYL in majority though, and devy's creativity kept me there. I remember hearing it for the first time thinking "Damn, he's got fucking fast feet..." but that was before I got deeper into more hard core stuff. ._." http-~~-//youtu.be/RExPetQHvvI What can I say, I like the sound of a heavy drum beat down.I have yet to find any super hardcore speed drummers though, I've been slacking as of late and haven't been searching ><. Any suggestions Metal thread?
