Ok looks like we need a mood change here it goes.

"Sweet Man of Mine"

He walked into my life,
And swept me off my feet.
He took my heart to places
I thought couldn’t be reached.
That sweet man of mine,
Such a gentle soul.
His presence in my life, makes me feel whole.
This void I use to feel, now has been filled.
That sweet man of mine,
Has me positively thrilled.
I love the way he holds my hand,
The way he plays with my hair.
I love the way he whispers in my ear,
And tells me that he cares.
I love the way he caresses my skin,
The way he looks into my eyes.
That sweet man of mine;
To me, he’s a winning prize.

Well, I started making stories again. not often...but I am writing again. I'm thinking I wanna join again. So...hiya again! ^_^ I see like a ton of people here that I don't know though. i feel like the new girl again...

hey ~X~, um... you remember that series I made right? Well... I filled in the chapters that I didn't have before so NOW it's actually postable in order. but um... with so many new people... Can I just start over? I've no idea where what story is in these pages... and I'd feel better posting it all together rather then hundreds of pages apart.

sure aasha give it a go its cool, hehe thease people will enjoy heh...

Bonus thanks for the reply. Your the only one who seem to have cared.

euhm well if you're talking about the 'pool game' incident... you dont think i was supportive?! lol.

anyhoo, X:
IT'S SPELT 'THESE', NOT 'THEASE'.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF THIS.
i think its the 4th time i've mentioned it to you know over the months, lol.
its pissin' me off!
just like how Mal used to say 'tomarrow'.... :@ GRR!! hahah.

Hmm...I guess people don't really remember me as well as they used to. Not that I give a shit anymore, it's sad how times change. So many good clubs that I miss, all have died now though. So that really sucks. And DAMNIT, it was my idea to start a new Late Night whatever that other one was called.

So anyways, how be the people tonight. I notice that Quisty has yet to end her story and tell us who killed Aasha, even though it's obvious Aasha is not dead. And Onic has yet to tell us who the furious masterbator was in his story. And I am still waiting to see who the heck is going to die in the next Control Chapter. Why must people always do them a little at a time, instead of submitting at once?

I think if it said 'could never' th syllables would work better from line to line. Just a sugesstion.

That sweet man of mine,
Such a gentle soul.
His presence in my life, makes me feel whole.

That line could be two lines. Again, just a syllable thing, but if it were me i would divide that up.

This void I use to feel, now has been filled.

Same thign here. those two lines stick out and are basically read as two line anyway.

Anyway, great poem. I enjoyed it, it was a light read. ^_^

Hey all, just got a home a little bit ago. I had to crash at a friends house cause I was just to damn drunk to go home. Now I'm having breakfast which is a beer and some ibprofen.

I've written a story, it's really just the beginings of a story, and I've been curious as to whether you guys would enjoy reading it. I've posted it at a private forum led by the above mentioned users. It's pretty long (12 MS Word pages) so I created an html document for you. I hope you guys enjoy it. I will be upgrading this page as well so you guys can follow along. I understand, seeing as it's a lot longer then the stuff i've seen on the last few pages, if you guys don't read it, just give it a taste at least and try to offer some constructive criticism. Thanks.

Here is the link: The Bracelet

Please read the above.

It was really close to the bottom of the page, so it makes since it got missed (hopefully not ignored). Please guys, I'd appreciate ANY input you can give me at this point.

Sorry, I forgot to make another link:

The Bracelet

Sorry for the double post >_<

^_^ Okies. I'll start it up right after this post. I'll put down the first chapter (each one is super long so it's best to just put one down at a time ^^;) for today and I'll put the next tomorrow and stuff. ^_^ Hope people don't mind my RP writing style.

Well, I've read the first 4 chapters and liked it (I started only planning to read the first one). I'm gonna finish it too but still have to make my own too so...well It's alotta time juggles and stuff. Oh and I'm really just not in the mood to read a story at the second. But I think I will continue it tomorrow. It's great so far. Hey but you might wanna actually post it in here instead of just linking to it. That's what people usually do with their stories in the LNL.

[b]"A New Way."[/b]
Chapter One

[b]Pharod:[/b] ::Pharod lived up to his name...or, at least, how some who knew him chose to interpret it: Fair-ODD. The old man--half elven by blood--always had a strange way of doing things, whether it was magical or every day, and had decided a long time ago to live apart from most people. So he'd set up his home in a fat old tree that caught the sunlight and kept pleasantly warm...magically hollowed out, of course. He'd made sure the tree didn't mind, and had even given it a sort of personality...it was still alive in fact. With a heave of a sigh he walked over to the large cauldron-like pot he was tending, a shimmering purple mixture bubbling away inside it. He was a packrat...most of the potions he made he kept at least one of, "just in case," and the others he used to make things "Fair" around him, whether it was prettiness or righteous fairness he was accomplishing...he did sell some, also, for food and supplies.:: Mmf...why do I even bother, these days...::Cue a short series of coughs from the old one, as he ran a hand through his beard wearily, the other hand remaining on his staff. Truth be known he was in good enough condition that he didn't need the staff...but he liked the appearance it gave.::

[b]Risuon'na:[/b] ::The pet of his --Risuon'na Na'ka was her name-- was sitting on the rim of the cauldron. It was something she did often even though just as often she was shooed off of it by Pharod. She wasn't being rebellious, but the little squirrel enjoyed the warmth. At times it was too hot for her and she'd know better then to jump on the rim. She realised the fire under the pot had to be small or she'd be burned. Or maybe it was just her natural fear of fire that warded her away from the pot at times like those. She had a funny personality. Currently she was distracted completely from Pharod's approach with her own grooming. She groomed alot. In fact she could rival a cat in grooming.

[b]Pharod:[/b] ::He chuckled, a soft noise from low in his throat, as he approached the grooming squirrel:: Yes, yes, you're as pretty as ever...now, for god's sake, get off my cauldron, would you? ::Chuckling still afterward as he scooped her up in one of his large hands...his hands seemed to be a bit oversized for his body. He'd hold her gently and stroke the fingertips of his other hand along her back before stirring the concoction with a large wooden spoon. It smelled faintly sweet--like Pez?--which was nice...some potions reeked so strongly that he hated making them, but still needed to.:: Been busy today, have you, little one? ::Idly talking with her as he held her near his chest...his hand actually resting against the long, flowing white beard that went down almost to his belly. She could move as she wished, he didn't restrain her...he just didn't want her falling in any of the potions, which was why he pulled her off the cauldron all the time!:: Maybe I should make a potion to make animals be able to talk... ::Admittedly, he was lonely; it showed by how he talked to his squirrel.::

[b]Risuon'na:[/b] ::Risuon'na barely made much reaction when she was held. The other squirrels in the forest had a fear of humans to a degree. This one seemed abnormally braver. She entered his house easily one day when lured by a pecan held by the chuckling old man. And to his surprise she didn't run off that day immidiately after grabbing it. She sat right where she was and since then had very constantly been his company. She'd wander in his window when it was open or under his door. Anyway, right now she laid on her belly and seemed to be soaking up his stokes. She was a spoiled little thing wasn't she? She always seemed either curious or rambuncious. Rarely completely still like this. So petting her had a sense of triumph in itself.::

[b]Pharod:[/b] ::He'd definitely been surprised at her willingness to be...well, around. Most squirrels he'd seen always had something they urgently needed to do, even if it was running around in circles or trying to tackle a falling nut. She'd stayed that time when he'd fed her, and even seemed to possibly listen as he talked to her...Probably just an old man's wishes, he sighed to himself. He'd never kept her in a cage, always letting her free; the window built into the side of the tree was always open, although he'd warded it against insects or anything with a desire to annoy. She, however, was very welcome. He smiled to himself as he felt her lay in his hand, and--letting the potion brew a bit more--sat in a rocking chair near it and put all his attention into relaxedly stroking her. Fingers and palm stroked over that soft, soft brown fur, and he nodded slowly before speaking:: Looks like all your grooming pays off, you spoiled thing...::Then a thought popped into his head, and he'd lift her up a bit, turning her so that they were face to face. Yes, he was looking into her tiny, cute squirrel face, his own wrinkled some with a mix of frown and laughter lines...sadly, more of the former. His beard was soft, and a very pure white; many was the time she'd gotten lost squirreling around inside it::

--Continued--

Risuon'na: ::That small tiny face looks back at Pharod's. Small, furry, and ocassionally with a twitching nose. An ear perks up as some light clattery "thunks" are heard faintly from the fireplace. It was a queer house yes. A fireplace inside of a tree. None the less, the house had never burned yet. Just one of many things that she did not understand. After a few seconds of hearing this noise a pecan forcefully ricochets off the stack of logs from up the chimny pipe. She scrambles to her hind feet --which gave her a cute look of a little kangaroo-- and darts a glance to the pecan as it aggressively rolls up the inverted books stacked by the table, and then simply rolls across the table opposite side of the pot. Seeing this was so inticing to the little squirrel that she sprung from Pharod's hand. However his hand was not a sturdy leaping point and his palm's flesh absorbed some of the force she used to send her over the pot to the table. Seeing where she'd land, which was in the pot, she flails her little legs out and looks like she was trying to run in the air to correct her aim. She lands with a "thwip" into the thick stuff. At the least it was easy to get out of being so full she just paddled to the side and pulled herself out. The nut forgotten, she hastely starts grooming again. Licking the potion off of her fur.::

Pharod: ::He'd never had her try to squirm out of his grasp before--although she did sometimes scamper around his shoulders, head, and beard just in fits of playfulness, it seemed--and so he was startled when she wiggled to her hind feet and jumped for the thing...And what was it? He'd heard some noises but paid them no attention...and sort of seen something move out of the corner of his eye from the fireplace; thinking it just a spark or puff of ashes, he'd paid it no attention...until she squirmed and jumped!:: Wh--Risu--?! ::His arm indeed not strong, it was pushed back slightly by her little squirrel paws, making her jump weakened in distance...His eyes went especially wide as she plopped into the purple potion. Knowing what it was made him especially alarmed, and he "quickly" tried to reach for her...but she'd already started grooming, and had even licked off some of the sweet stuff, he'd noticed: No, don't, you'll...! ::But he sighed, his hand just short of her, knowing it was too late.:: Oh my...

Risuon'na: ::Maybe it was the taste of this potion, but she continued to lick it off her fur. Normally, like if it were mud, then she'd wipe off her tongue with her paws each lick quickly. But she seemed not to mind this potion being ingested. She had finished her face and her feet completely. She slowed down as she saw her own paws after licking the potion off them however. They did not look like they used to, they had more of a human shape to them. She didn't think too much of it, since everything looked a bit different. Everything looked slightly smaller...like she was bigger. she didn't realise it yet since she had no idea to expect it, but she had so far gained size by three times what she used to be. Of course she was too busy with the grooming to have noticed before. She looks around only an instant before her size causes her to comically fall off the pot with a "thump" onto the wooden floor. Hidden on the other side of the cauldron, she can be heard breathing heavily. Was it the potion itself? Maybe she was freaking out?::

Pharod: ::He saw it happening and sighed with exasperation...but knowing it wouldn't really cause her any harm--maybe even lessen his old loneliness--he watched the process...surprised by the power of his own potions. Maybe even an ego boost, it was. He jumped as she fell off onto the floor...and heard that breathing. He stood as hurriedly as he could and made his way around, calling out to her while he did so:: Risu'onna? I'm afraid you took a dip in a anthromorphic potion...Life's not going to be quite the same as before...are you all right?

Risuon'na: ::Now looking like a small child of 10, save for her being covered in the same tan fur and having a tail and set of ears, she looked back up to him with wide eyes. There were bits of the potion still on her. Though the same amount as before, her now larger size made that bit seem much less. Only a patch of purple wetness on her face and a patch on her tail. Those eyes she looked up at him with looked completely lost, as if to ask what had happened. They did not look scared, just curious. That was curious, yet when you thought about it that seemed rather much her normal self so far. She looked pretty cute. She had a little bit of babyfat in her cheeks it looked like, and her body seemed perfectly in proportion. She seemed very thin. not unhealthy, but thin.::

Pharod: ::He had to blink and do a doubletake as he saw her...What a complete metamorphosis! He gave an uneasy laugh as he saw her and knelt down, offering her one of his large old hands to help her up:: Well...looks like the potion works well enough. Welcome to humanity, Risu'onna...or part of it, at least. ::Cue a small cough to clear his throat:: You're not quite what you used to be. Come, look. ::Helping her stand he pulled her lightly over to the mirror he used...it was full-length, along one wall of the tree, so she'd see her whole cute body at once. He smiled warmly at how cute she'd turned out to be...It was so fitting, considering how he'd admired her and owed her for her company.::

--Continued--

Risuon'na: ::Taking his hand she grins and pulls up. She was not used to the way this new body felt or moved. She had her tail to keep up for balance however, and it was large. In fact her tail was larger then her body and head! Well actually it just seemed it. The way fur "poofs" out and all. She follows the short distance to the mirror and looks into her own eyes. It was odd but she had no pupil like Pharod did. Her eyes were blue, but with no seeable pupil. she cocks her head as she twists her body in different ways. Back when she first arrived here she had thought that the mirror was actually another room that another squirrel always got in the way when she tried to pass through. She'd spent an hour the first time trying to weave around the "other squirrel" and get into that other room. Many times having instead ran into her reflection and thinking it was another squirrel. She had realised after a few days that it was her and now looked at herself intently. She noticed she looked like a smaller Pharod! She let go of his hand to turn and look at her back, moving her tail to see herself better, and falling on her face flatly. She was not used to this body yet XD::

Pharod: ::Only when she stood up could he see just how overbalanced her tail was...but, reflecting on the body of a squirrel, he could understand. Although why she was so THIN eluded him...squirrels looked fairly chubby from what he'd seen. Hmm....--He stood back a little and watched her, chuckling to himself--occasionally speckled with fits of coughing; he waas old, after all--And a thought came to him:: Hm...Can you speak, Risu? I'm not sure how...complete, the transformation was...::He distinctly remembered how she'd run into the mirror so MANY times trying to attack herself or...whatever she'd been doing, and he had wondered if she'd do it again. He jumped as she fell over again and tried to catch her, but instead just ended up falling:: Oof...afraid I'm not in the chivalry department so well anymore...Help an old man to his feet? ::He appeared to be trying, but having some...problems.::

Risuon'na: ...Mm...? ::She light-footedly hops up and grabs his hand like he had tried to do for her. It was a wonder how she didn't hop up and just fall over the other way. Then that question would be answered as one would look down and see that she was using her tail as a 3rd leg. She basically was a tripod ^^. She giggles and pulls up, though she didn't have much strength being she wasn't but 10 physically. Or was it 11? Judging by her chest she had reached puberty as a human, or more closely like she was in the middle of it. She didn't say anything yet. Apparently though from the giggles she could talk. She just didn't know how. She knew only the common words that Pharod had said to her.:: Hello :D ::She said that one word with the same nod of her head that Pharod always did::

Pharod: ::He smiled at her warm, generous nature and stands, with her help...sighing afterward.:: That didn't used to happen...::He looked her over once again, curiously, from head to toe:: What an amazing transformation....Do you feel bad at all? Soreness, stiffness, aching joints..? ::Oh, wait, he was listing his symptoms.:: --! So you CAN speak...But you'll probably have to learn quite a bit...::Cue another big smile as she mimicked how he'd always treated her, and in response he chuckled and petted her head lightly:: Yes...hello, little one.

Risuon'na: ::She blinks each time he pets her brownish red hair. Somehow her fur and head hair were different colors. After he pets her she smiles and again repeats his word.:: Hello Risu. :D ::She nods again, her eyes showing that she was very entertained with the events going on.:: Have you been busy? ^^ ::She didn't really know what that meant but it was something he said to her often.::

Pharod: ::He laughed as she blinked every time, having forgotten the nerve connection between the top of the head and the blinking reflex for humanoids. His own eyes twinkled like they hadn't in years, and then he shook his head, knowing a lot of work would be ahead of them for teaching her how to speak...Then he realized her nakedness, mostly from seeing the slight swells of her breasts.:: Hmm...we need to get you dressed...::He rummaged through his old cloaks and found a small one that would fit her and look like a sort of dress. He'd come up behind her and try to drape it over her:: ah...there?

Risuon'na: ::The tail got in the way as he tried to fit it onto her though. Instinctively she usually had her tail lifted off the floor. She tries to tuck her tail for a moment but with one hand leans on the wall as she pulls the back of the cloak up, allowing her tail to come out. Of course this somewhat beat the purpose of the clothing since it lifted it up to where her cute little rear end was easily seen! XD::

Pharod: X_x Ah...Hm...that won't do. ::He knew she'd instinctually NEED to have her tail up, so he hunted down a pair of scissors and, tugging the cloak back a bit, cut a large hole where her tail could fit through...a very large hole. Then he'd try to guide her tail through it, lifting the cloak up quite a bit and then 'helping' the tail through:: Maybe this will work? ::He felt possessive of her, like a father for his daughter, and didn't want people gawking at her...he knew her mischivious nature would get her enough attention!::

Risuon'na: ::She wore it more for the reason of doing what he was doing. He wore clothing, so she was trying it too! So far she was doing things she saw him do before, save for using her tail as a tripod hehe. She watches curiously as he makes a hole and sticks her tail through it. It felt weird but at the moment it was hard to feel used to anything wasn't it? After all she is in a brand new form. The thing that really seemed the most different was her size. She hadn't had a day go by that she wasn't doing things only something small could do. She bubbled up a thought about seeing what the outside looked like now that she was bigger. She started for the door but then saw the crack under the door was alot smaller now. She turned to the window and darted up to the sill, sprung out, and tripped over the dress by snagging one of her claws in mid jump. She lands and rolls a few feet. She promptly kicks off the dress then gazes about from where she sat on her knees. It all looked the same, but smaller.::

--Continued--

Pharod: -! You can use the door--::He grimaced as she tripped over the window, knocking over several things in front of it..Oh well...it couldn't be helped. He walked outside to make sure she was all right and saw her sitting there...with the dress next to her.:: Now now...you can't go around nude, in the name of decency, you know...::Calmly walking over and picking it up. Old people tended to be really calm or really...not calm. He was the first one. He stopped thinking/worrying about what to do to teach her how to speak, and instead just watched the wonder in her eyes...How cute.::

Narration: ---Over the next month it appeared that Risuon'na would not wear any clothing. All of Pharod's attempts ended with Risu eventually removing the clothing and becoming nude without any bashfulness in the least. She had learned how to speak pretty well, being able to say sentences. Though at first she still called Pharod "Risu". He stopped that of course and instead she started calling him "Papa". They had already been close before she was even human. Now it was more like a parent and child would be. Pharod of course had a job he enjoyed: taking care of his little girl. A month later however it had begun to be quite snowy and cold.---

Pharod: ::The winter had brought some kind of sickness upon him, and he'd felt it settle into his bones...to stay. He hadn't brewed a potion since she had transformed, focusing instead entirely on raising her as a child. Teaching her to sleep in a bed had proved to be nearly pointless and impossible. He'd eventually caved in to her cute and wild attitude and let her do...well, whatever she wanted, except things he found morally wrong. "Unfair." Nowadays he mostly watched and spoke softly with her, wrapped in several blankets...Maybe the months of teaching her how to speak and whatnot had exhausted him, but more likely they'd added a month of joy to his life.::

Risuon'na: ::Risu usually would have slept through the winter. But she ignored that instinct. Another instinct told her there was something wrong with Papa. She oftenly just stayed by his side now. She didn't want him to be alone for even a moment. And in fact lately she did sleep in the bed he slept in. only because she knew huddling would bring more bodyheat. She wasn't bashful about getting close after all. her huge tail alone was more then enough to cover and warm most of him. She'd snuggle to him each night now, instead of in the trees.:: Papa, you'll be okay? ::He had not told her too much about what to expect, but she laid there with her eyes open, sad eyes...worried eyes... She knew something was wrong.::

Pharod: ::He appreciated it more than words could say, and only slept well with her comfort and her warmth next to him...That was one thing that helped him stay alive so long, and he never got unclean thoughts about holding her during the night. Her tail made the nicest blanket he'd ever been warmed by, he had to admit...! -- He smiled softly...a sad smile; what an irony that once he'd come to truly enjoy life, it was about to be taken from him. His eyes looked into her adorable, well-loved face...his eyes a shade of azure blue that spoke of sorrow and tears. He lay on his back, as he did most nights now, since it made it easiest to breathe...and breathing, lately, had become difficult. Constantly he was plagued by the choice of whether to explain to her or to...not...and have them both happy while they were both alive...but he couldn't make her suffer the tragedy of learning about death through experience.:: Risu...my dear sunshine...I will...explain, in the morning...For now, just...rest with me.

Risuon'na: ::Now knowing there was something wrong...or at least knowing it was confirmed by him made her whimper. She did as she was asked though and did not ask anymore about it...yet. She wraps an arm across his chest and hugs him. She doesn't sleep easy. Dreams of many unwanted things happening enter her mind. Including one somewhat accurate dream of papa and her. Back when he was healthy still, she worked when she saw it as fun. And she was working alongside him happily carrying collected pecans from the branches and dropping them into a basket. He'd usually be at the basket watching. Now when she looked down he was gone. She dreampt she cried out for him. She looked into the cabin. She raced around the tree. She felt it a dire NEED that he be found. She didn't find him. Even in her dreams she was getting no peace from her worries now.::

Pharod: ::His heart was heavy...he would have to abandon the source of his greatest joy through all his years...all because of something beyond his control. He'd tried to find out whether a potion could cure it, but...there was no potion of life. If she were paying attention, she would feel his warm, bitter tears soak through her hair and fur the whole night...Sleep did not come for him until just an hour before sunrise. Even with her warmth next to him, and her tail blanketing him, a weak shiver ran through his body incessantly...He knew it was only a matter of time now. His sleep, when it came, was so shallow that he would wake the moment she moved, that morning.::

Risuon'na: ::She had wept in her sleep as well. When morning finally came she opened her eyes. There were streaks on the fur of her face where she had cried from her dreams. She moves her head up a bit to look up to his, staring. Wishing she had found him. Feeling somehow that since she didn't find him then, he was now going to disappear. Her tears whelm up again as she shudders and hugs him.:: I...I had a bad dream. ::She says in a soft light voice that even they could barely hear. She remembers his word's last night, that he'd tell her in the morning. Now she wanted to not know. She knew it would be something that woud be bad. She didn't ask. It was quite a contrast from her usual bold and playful personality.::

--Continued--

Pharod: ::For several minutes if not most of an hour, she would be alone...but once the blood dried, she would feel a soft, familiar voice in her mind...:: Risu...? Risu, my angel...can you hear me? ::Quieter than a whisper....like the suggestion of a whisper, maybe, yet inside of her, from that one tiny spot upon her wrist:: Please...tell me you can hear me...

Risuon'na: ::She looked over to Papa hopefully.::Papa?! Did you say something, Papa? ::She wasn't certain if she heard him or not. It felt so faint. She saw is eyes...closed. Maybe he was asleep. Or resting still...Impossible hope, but this was a 10 year old girl. At least physically.::

Pharod: ::An extremely relieved, soft chuckle echoed gently in her mind...his familiar little laugh:: Oh Risu...My body could not go on...But I was able to put my spirit, my ghost, into the drop of blood on your wrist...Now I will never have to leave you...::And while most children would hate to hear that from their parents--especially around age 10--their relationship was a little bit different, no?:: Mm...Just have a care not to have that spot of your skin rubbed or cut off, my child... -- Hmm.... ::He seemed to be pondering something....then he 'appeared' at the base of the bed, his body a hazy, blurry shadow of softly glowing blue...Yet he could see her, and she could see him::

Risuon'na: ::At the sight of him she stared and wiped her eyes. She glanced at th bed to see his form still laying there and looked at this new glowing version of him. She knew it was magic.:: Papa! :D ::She leaps at him without thinking that even if he were solid she'd likely knock him down. Luckily though (?) she instead went through him and ended in a crumpled heap. Her legs and tail crooked and sticking up comically. She crawls up to her feet quickly and seems to have not noticed that she had just flown through him, or not acknowledged it.:: So you live in my hand now, Papa?

Pharod: ::Even he, in his old age, expected/hoped to be hit by her-- his ghostly form raised its arms to catch her and hold her close...yet she went right through him, and she'd feel an ethereal tingle throughout her whole body, like a mixture of suddenly being hit with ice water and the sensation when your foot falls asleep. He blinked as she went through him and turned, kneeling beside her...he seemed to be in the shape that he was healthiest in while she knew him, which still wasn't saying much.:: Are you all right, child--? ::But before he could finish the question she was already up again, and he chuckled softly, "standing," then opened his mouth to tell her the truth...and realized that...explaining his death to her...might not be the best idea.:: Ah...yes. You can think of it like that, my dear Risu.

Risuon'na: ::She puts her hand up trying to touch his. When her fingertips just go through she whimpers a little bit but then seems to change back to a normal happy demeanor.:: Papa, we can live here still! You are back! ::She holds herself off from trying to jump to him again. She's learned by now that she'd just simply pass through him and smack herself into the bedpost.::

Pharod: ::How it relieved and touched him to see her so happy again...His ghost actually grew brighter as his soul warmed from just the sight and sound of her:: Risu...I can't say how happy I am to still be with you...but it's different now. I won't be able to take care of you like before, you see..I can still talk with you, but...not much else. ::He wasn't sure what should be done with his body...Maybe the tree would absorb it, and make use of him like he'd made use of it over these years.:: I think...I would like you to explore the world, Risu...I will be with you, of course, but I want you to meet other people and experience....your new life.

Risuon'na: ::No telling how she'd react to anything about his body. Obviously though she was thrilled now!:: ^^ I will go anywhere my Papa goes! I'll take care of you! I can sleep with you and keep you war--oh um... I think I'd fall through you now. ::She cocks her head when he asks her to explore the world. Her exploring so far had been only as far as she could still see him or the house tree.:: Um...I will but I might get lost. I don't know where to go. ::She runs out the door promptly on all fours.:: ^^

Ok, i just ordered a book and the DVD Troy anyone like thisfilm as much as me? I thought the battle scenes were excellent, and the storyline of the movie is almost as good as the Homers Iliad.

Mm.. I'm worried that's what everyone will say. maybe I should just turn it into shorter installments... but the story will last about 2 weeks longer ^^; ...oh...well hey I'll do that. <.< but the first chapter is my favorite and it's kinda important later on in the story (chapter 4 and on).

Yeah, that wasn't my intentions. I thought it got skipped over since it was at the bottom of the previous page. And twice hardly qualifies for a million >_<

Okay, cool :)

It's great so far.

Thanks :D

Hey but you might wanna actually post it in here instead of just linking to it. That's what people usually do with their stories in the LNL.

Well, I didn't want to do that since it was so long, but after your story post I guess it's alright to post long stuff. See, this is my first time in here so I wasn't to sure how things roll. I guess I'll just post chapter by chapter, and only post the next chapter if people like the story enough. I don't want to clutter things in here.
