Tanuchan

Peepi turns back when the flash of the camera goes off, and looks down at the babbling figure waving a sword at him. Huh? Dave steps ahead carefully, sword ready to slash at any sign of attack... when Peepi lowers his head to look at him with his big, innocent, cute eyes. Dave gulps down, and before he can make himself attack, Peepi's front paws grab him gently. Spiderman looks ready to save Dave when the giant hamster starts nibbling very gently at Dave, licking and slobbering all over him in a clear show of affection. Like you! You funny! Play with me?

Forgetting for a moment Miroku and Spider-Man, who are still looking at him quite astonished, Peepi follows the darting skunk with his eyes, almost absurdly cocking his head in evident confusion. He blinks, dizzy at Pepé le Pew fast digging, but decides to follow him. Friend? As Pepé shrinks away from the scene of the crime and starts talking to himself, Peepi stands behind him with an amused look in his big eyes. Funny voice... friend? He stoops, sitting and gently nudging the skunk with a giant front paw. Wanna play?

Peepi, after eating his fill of some farmer's grain stock while watching GIR playing with cows, and stopping by a lake to quench his thirst, comes sleeply back to the Arena. He watches as little figures examine what seems another big hole in place of double doors. Play? Both Miroku and Spider-man look up at him with some alarm, but Peepi just stoops to took better at what they are doing. Curious, he uses its front paws to move away some of the rubbish, almost toppling Miroku in the process. Then, with a somewhat puzzled expression, sits down looking at both of them. Play? OOC Ozy, I'm supposing you're Miroku... If you're not, I'll edit this later.

OOC Dean, the spelling is Peepi... and he is already the giant one... And... didn't Katz say in sign up that she wasn't playing? IC Peepi looks around with his big eyes, and follows GIR as he leaves to the farm. Food? There's a crashing sound and a giant-hamster-sized hole now occupies the place of one of the Animalympics arena's double doors.

I agree... but please, *no* Rich and *no* wolves for Gnarlitch... Or I won't survive first round.

The corridor is dark, but some steps awayfrom the door it spirals down gently. From that point on, there's a soft, diffuse light, revealing some landings and doors along its descending walls. Looking for the source of the faint light, Rialla notices small depressions high on the wall, regularly spaced. Small bubbles come out of them from time to time, looking exactly like soap bubbles. But these ones are slightly colored, some bluish, some dark-yellowish, and some greenish. They float gently, and when bumping into each other or into the wall, pop releasing a soft luminescence. Rialla stops for a while, entranced by the slow dance of the soap bubbles. A darker patch of shadow observes her from the end of the corridor. She senses. She can help. She has the acorn. But she needs the knowledge. Rialla awakes with a shudder, suddenly throwing her eyes and mind around. A very light awareness of something again catches her attention, but it fades away quickly. Sighing, she follows the corridor until her inner senses tell her that she's at ground level. A door opens at her touch, and she finds herself in an ample room filled with light. Her steps echoe a bit oddly as she goes to the big window with drawn curtains, her mind registering the sparse covered furniture. She stops some paces into the room as she sees what the light falls into: a statue... a woman carrying a bowl, her lower body again part of a seething mass of curves. However, although its face is the same as the smaller statue upstairs, this one is completely human. The curves around her legs haven't yet become tentacles. And there are no acorns around her. After examining the statue carefully, Rialla goes to the window in time to see Robby emerging from under the hedge wall. Fumbling a bit with its rusty panels, she opens it. "Hi." Robby jumps some steps back, completely surprised. Rialla grins in spite of all the mystery, and waves him inside. "There must be a door somewhere... I can't seem to find one, but maybe you find one from the outside."

The wolf crosses again the room, a bit slower after having chased away most of the frogs and looking curiously behind her to check if Wyvern is still after her. And she bumps straight into Savage Dragon's tail. As Savage looks down at her with a curious look, she decides it's better not to risk his anger... maybe he has a too good memory and reminds when he has last seen her as a wolf... Gulping down, she hastily changes back to human form. "Eh... hi, Savage... congratulations again... you're a big Page... I mean... a great one... yes, that's it... " As he blinks, she shakes his front paw and excuses herself. Near the chocolate mud wrestling arenas, she stops and looks at them quite puzzled, and soon grins imagining some people wrestling there... then decides to be a bit more composed and check what is going on at the tables. I wonder why people seem a bit worried about this party... I did listen to some mumbling around... She sees Finnius almost losing his fingers to Dean, and retiring towards the roof. And, remembering the description given in the flyer, decides to follow his example. Stars... and the sky. And feeling the fresh air at night. I really think it may be more enjoyable than the crowd that will soon be around here... Smiling, she joins the few people who are already in the roof.

I'm in, and have also decided to change characters ==> Peepi from Invader Zim's "Hamstergeddom" Hamstergeddon episode script Another picture

It was prudent of you... But, as I said... you could always have lynched me next round if Gnarlitch had been innocent *grins*

A black wolf appears from nowhere (taking a short break from Wyv's party, actually) and jumps playfully at Ozy, licking him thoroughly while he tries to scramble back. He can swear that the yelps from that wolf sound like giggling... The wolf sits back, and quickly changes back to her human form. Happy Birthday, Ozy! *hugs* (And consider all the jumping and licking as a happy birthday wish from another from the pack... dear wolf ) Changes back into a wolf, and runs off... Hey, it's way faster on four legs than two!

I think it would be a really nice idea, Elwen Most of us, as Gnarly pointed, just know one or the other... and as I'm almost null at cartoons, I don't know what most of you are talking about. By the way, still thinking... Dean, when will you be starting? =P

*hugs Gnarly* Sorry, Gnarly... It was sheer luck. I didn't want to vote to lynch anyone on first round, but really wanted the new players to survive at least first round. So, when Eirish pointed at Vahk, I followed because (1) Reason made sense IC for Arielle and (2) He was a safe vote... at that time. No idea we would catch a wolf! Then, my Seeing... I wanted you as an ally. So, instead of looking for the Wolf, I wanted to consolidate my position as Seer first. I was stunned speechless when I discovered you were the other wolf. And then, what could I do? As PMs were allowed, I PMd some key people... six in the total, plus Jamz who I teased. We were told we shouldn't use OOC in the posts saying we were the Seer/Baner... but we were free while keeping to PMs. (You know now why I am, basically, against PMs in a game... ) It was the only strategy because I didn't think they'd all trust me over you. That, and being able to be online to get the answer as soon as it was posted, which made possible for me to post my accusation before anybody else did. So, yeah, I guess it was a kind of ambush. Sorry... Yeah, very, very atypical game here at the Pen. But, really good RP before this unexpected end! Good game, all. *sighs and walks away shaking her head, still not believing this last game*

Hmm... *looks at Deggy* May we be OOC now?

"Well, Richard... so how about us both going to the Principal? I don't mind it. Do you?" Rich shrugs, "Sure, why not. Let's go!" "Well, as soon as you want then." Arielle sits down, not minding him anymore, and talking quietly to both Walter and Joe.

Nave, if you play Papa Smurf again I will kill you myself lol

I'm really bad at cartoons... I'll have to consider. I didn't vote on the poll, but count me on Japanese if I do play. And... maybe Serena from Sailor Moon. I'll come back to confirm if I'm in.

Tanny giggles at seeing Gnarlitch chasing and hacking frogs, finding herself willing to do the same for the fun of it. But she only could do it in her alternate form... and a wolf, although a friendly one, would probably scare some of those in the long line. And she didn't think it would be a good idea... She approaches the ogre at the door, remembering the invitation request... a cat Haiku ? She could try... what was the form? 5-7-5? She really wasn't that into form... freeform poetry was nice, but Haikus... Mmm... Morning Cat, harmless Afternoon Cat sleeps and dreams Night Cat... a cat is She grimaces. Nah, not quite right. But she didn't have anyone near to ask for some help right now, and she was pretty curious about that announced party. So... she smiles impishly, and her figure wavers and changes, drawing some "aahs" and "oohs" from those in the line close enough to see. A black wolf sits where she was, licking some unkempt fur back to line on her paws, then looking at Melba with a grin and a lolling tongue. Well, my most innocent, cub-looking face... not that I have the size of a cub but... oh well... Confidently, she passes by Melba with her Mighty Pen ID delicately held between sharp teeth, almost wagging her tail... Oops... no, that's not very dignifying... stop wagging tails, I'm not a dog!... ... while the ogre looks at her wondering how she is supposed to ask for boxers or Haikus from a wolf. Even if that wolf bears the Page title. *wink*

Walter, alone, rolls on the floor with angry tears on his cheeks and still yelling about Arielle and Richard... a scene that would be described by some as comic and by others as just plain sad. Arielle, at first taken aback by Walter's reaction, runs to him and kneels down. "Wally?! Wally!" She grabs his shoulders, shaking him gently, then harder as he fails to respond. "Wally, are you alright? Wally! It's me, Arielle!" Walter slowly focuses on her voice, still flushed and still angry, and stands up by himself quite ignoring Arielle's hand. He didn't want her help to stand up. "Yeah, I'm fine." He reaches a hand down to help Arielle up. "Never been finer." He smiles a bit. No, he didn't want her help. He wanted to help *her* to stand up. And he notices Arielle's smile, one quite different from her usual one. She holds her hand confidently, and whispers, "Wally, I may have been more than silly... we should talk..." Arielle recalls two pieces from small notes... one from Chandler... ... the other from Walter. She sighs. This was turning out to be a most confusing day in her life. She still couldn't quite believe that Rich, so-perfect-Rich, was a bully in his heart. But she had Seen it. She may end up at the Principal's, but she knew the truth. She had made a new friend... one she would never have considered as a possible one. Chandler was a nice guy... quite odd, and one who did things she really didn't like and disapproved completely. But maybe it wouldn't be always so, if he could have good friends. Like Jaquie... the sarcastic girl... she hoped she would be okay. She still wanted hard to learn how to deal with people like her. Even bomb-guy Jaime had talked to her! And Wally... well, they would have to talk. She was still in a dazed kind of shock, and she knew that. It was something new, and promising. Arielle blushes, looking around and seeing people in a bit different way. All in all, she was happy at herself. She wasn't feeling quite awkward anymore. ~~~~~~ Edit: typo

Arielle hesitates a bit, knowing she shouldn't give attention to Richard. But Walter's support makes her somehow stronger. "Well, Richard... so how about us both going to the Principal? I don't mind it. Do you?"

Arielle looks at Rich and Eric, still flushed. "Yes, there is another one, Eric. Richard is the one. I SAW him doing it. " To Rich, she just throws a look of disgust. "It's my word against yours. Fine. But if I'm taken to the Principal now, by next break everybody will know I'm innocent. And if you try to do anything to me, you will be admitting guilt. So, whatever happens to me, you will be punished. I'm happy just knowing that." With that, she turns her back to Rich. ~~~~~~ Edit: Just making it coherent with Merelas' post, below

Arielle looks at Rich, now getting furious. "At least admit what you did and explain why Jaquie! Matthew was more honest than you! He at least showed that he despised non-Christians! You go around being all friendly to everybody... then hurts those you don't like! Why did you pick Jaquie? Because she wasn't afraid of speaking her mind? Because she hated being pitied? Did she give you a tongue-lashing when you tried to help her? Was it?" Wally and Joe restrain Arielle, stunned at her vehemence. "You are a bully. And I am ashamed to have fallen in love with you," finishes her, blushing but this time looking at him in the eye.

Arielle pales visibly, so much that Lia has to grab her elbow to support her. "Hey, no passing out here..." After a while the other students arrive, and Arielle looks frantically around her, trembling when she sees Richard and unconsciously stepping away from him. As soon as she sees Wally, she throws herself in his arms, crying. "Ari... Ari, it's terrible, I know... please... don't cry..." Not knowing what to do, he pats her back timidly. Arielle shakes her head violently, grabbing his hand and calming herself in a sheer effort of will. "No, you don't understand... it's... it's terrible..." She turns then to Joe, and Chandler, all the while squeezing Wally's hands. "I SAW Rich tripping someone at the stairs. I had no idea it was Jaquie. He was laughing and I got scared... really scared... I ran to class thinking it was some bad joke... " "How could you? We all saw you at locker room..." Interrupts Laurie, so surprised she actually speaks aloud. "I saw Rich right when I was entering class... he saw me, I turned... when I turned back a second later he was just going to the other side. I got curious... " She blushes, and wipes tears away angrily. "I followed him. You know I'm good at lurking... no one really notices me. I SAW he tripping someome. I didn't know it was Jaquie... I didn't know..." She starts crying soflty again, her heart hurting for the knowledge that her perfect pair was a bully. "Believe me... Richard did this..." Whispers her again. OOC A vote for Richard Smith/Gnarlitch

Arielle changes faster than Jaquie, but decides not to wait for her. "Jaquie, I'm already going. I'll meet you at class." The blind girl nods once, and Arielle leaves soon after Tiff. On her way to class, she looks around, hoping to find Walter. I want to know what is happening... Wally, you *are* my best friend! She stops for some moments, sighing impatiently. And sees Rich looking at Tiff. Aww... And Tiff doesn't need to make any effort... She blushes again. And as she suddenly notices Rich looking straight at her, she turns away blushing harder.

Got completely by surprise, blushes madly at listening to the toasts and finding her name in them. Thank you... I don't know what to say. Just that I'm happy to be here, and I hope I can keep helping the Pen to grow strong. Finally calming herself, goes around hugging the other promoted friends Congratulations to all! *and a bear hug to MeThinksUFoolish, for the fun time at the Werewolf games *

Arielle gasps softly, surprised. Then, quickly, adds, "Sorry Jaquie... you surprised me. Of course I can tell you. And... if you want..." She hesitates a little bit, but decides to push a bit her luck, "There's a place to the corner, it's a bit more private. I usually go there because I hate when the others look at me while changing, and I always have the impression they're comparing me to Tiff." She blushes. "If you want, I can show you where it is, and later you can go there by yourself." Please, please... don't let her think that I'm considering her an invalid... she has the same problems as me... Arielle braces herself for the customary sarcastic answer, thinking if she shouldn't just leave. And Wally... and what Chandler said? That I may want to ask him about... things he hadn't the nerve to talk about? I wish Wally were here... I wish he still trusted me... She blinks tears away.
