[Zorolo]UZ's training thread!

[UZ!]

(OOC: Awwright, I'm the first one to make his new thread. 349 words. A bit over what you said, but bigger is better, eh?)

BIC:
“All right, what the hell is going on here!?” UZ screamed to nobody in particular.

Certainly, he had a right to be confused. He had just been sent through a giant hedge maze and an incredibly tiny hallway full of needles after he had wandered in a giant dome that had appeared in front of him only to wind up in an empty room with a strangely polite elf. Even after that fact, the elf had said not 6 words before he got called out and ran from the room. And sitting alone in rooms for reasons he didn’t know about was not tops on UZ’s list of favorite things to do.

Perking up, UZ decided to poke around a bit. Not much was in that room, excepting the table he had woken up on, and a locked cabinet on the opposite wall. More of the glow-in-the-dark lichen from that needle hallway was on the ceiling above him. He tried to open the small wooden door that provided the only exit, to his dismay finding it was locked tight. “Well, peachy. Now what do I do?”

After a few more minutes of inactivity, the lock began to jiggle on the door. With a snap, UZ looked over as that same elf from before stumbled into the room, out of breath as if he had just run a marathon. “Terrible news, sir” he said, “It appears that the teacher the Dome had chosen for you is missing. We’re trying to sort this out for you in as short a time as possible, so please just sit back and don’t panic. Please don’t panic! AUGH!” The last thing on UZ’s mind at that moment was panic, of course. He had only understood about half of that last statement, really. And what was this about a teacher?

It took even a few more minutes for the elf to return, looking as chipper as he did when UZ had first woken up. “Hello, sir. We’re pleased to inform you that we have found you a new teacher, and he should be here shortly.”

[Zorolo]

Since I haven't a moment to read up on your character, I'll give you a little assignment to kick start you. I want UZ to get fed up with waiting and go looking for his teacher. I want you to wander around the Dome for a bit, just taking in the scene, etc...You can wander into any of the Dome's FIXED rooms, that is the Fountain Room, the Gardens, the Cafeteria, the Dome Center, the Infirmary, etc.... but I want you to end up in a room that is basically a big lake. Oh, make sure you describe the door. The key to the Dome is its doors. There is an island in the middle of it, and I want you to get to it, whatever mode of transportation you choose (*hint hint*, be creative). Once there you will hear a splash, but that is all. Stop at that, and I will do the introduction between our two chars. Your teacher will meet you there.

Have fun. ^_^

[UZ!]

(OOC: Heh, I know, I went a bit overboard with the whole piranha thing. But hey, when your character can just glide across the water, you need some sort of obsticle, eh? Also, 879 words. I'm in a really "writey" mood today. Is that even a word? On that note, is "piranhaish?")

BIC:
“OK, this is starting to get ridiculous.” UZ had been waiting for a whole hour for that new teacher of his to show up, and he was getting restless, not to mention hungry. Peeking out to make sure no overly cheerful mood-swinging elves were around, UZ slithered out of the room and into the large hallway. It had been so long since UZ had been in a large, well lit area that UZ flinched when the sun from the windows hit his eyes. “Whew! That’s better. Now… where the hell am I?”

That hallway proved to be even longer than UZ had originally anticipated, and he had been going for a good half-hour before he finally found something recognizable to him. “Hey, I smell food in there!” UZ raced into what looked like a gigantic version of a school cafeteria. Not knowing whether or not he was supposed to be taking the food, he sneaked his way over to a large table, grabbed several pieces of fruit, and zipped his way back to the corner of the room, where he started gobbling it down. This drew many a stare from the students already in there, taking in the spectacle of the oversized orange worm speed eating apples.

After he had his fill of fruit (and had enough of the staring) UZ left the cafeteria to try and find that elusive teacher of his. Eventually he found a door with a large rain drop painted on it. The door had nothing special on it, and in fact resembled pretty much every other door in that portion of the hallway, but UZ felt somehow drawn to that door in particular. Opening it, he found himself in another large room, which in any other building could’ve passed for a hallway itself. Around him were all numbers of different shaped and colored doors leading to who-knew-where. The aspect that they all shared, however, was that they were all some shade of blue or green. The floor in the area was covered with a thick layer of wet algae and moss, and the sounds of waves hitting a beach could be heard echoing through the room. “There seems to be a pattern here…” UZ mumbled.

To his dismay, most of the doors he tried to open were strangely locked. Looking around in frustration, a small dark blue door caught his eye. The door wasn’t the most spectacular door in the room, it wasn’t even close. It didn’t even have a strange shape to it, being a rounded off rectangle. What caught UZ’s eye was that the door was only about 3 feet tall, which would’ve seemed small to most species, but not to him. It almost looked like the door had been custom-made for him especially. “How many 2 and a half foot tall worms do they normally have come by here, anyway?” he asked himself. Looking closer, UZ saw small letters carved into the side of the door near the handle. “Lake,” it said.

Swallowing in expectation of disappointment, UZ was pleasantly surprised when the door opened easily for him. “Cool beans,” he said, “let’s see what we got here…” On the other side of the door, a small beach awaited him. The beach went around in a large circle for what looked like almost a mile, surrounding a lake. Beyond the beach was straight water as far as his eye could see. In the center of the lake was a small island with a single palm tree on it, and what looked like a small chest underneath the tree. Never one to pass up free treasure, UZ began to wander the short stretch of beach to get to the lake. Feeling confidant, UZ began to hum a little tune. “Oh, I can’t help but smile, cause I can slide across the wa-” UZ’s little ditty was sharply cut off by a pair of large jaws being implanted into his head. “This lake has piranhas? Great. Why should my day get any easier?”

Thinking quickly, UZ tightened up so the piranha would fly off. “Now how am I supposed to get to that treasure…” It was quite a pickle. UZ could, in theory, just glide across the water on his hole, but he didn’t really like the idea of getting eaten. With a start, UZ lifted his head as an idea came to it. “Sorry about this, Beatrice…” he mumbled to his mandolin as he held it out. He started banging out some rather ugly chords on it while holding it out over the water. Piranhas started swarming out and frenzying over each other, trying to stop the horrible racket, until there was a rather sizable pile of dead piranhas lying on the beach. Putting away his now nicked mando, UZ starting covering himself with the corpses of the piranhas. UZ then glided over the water, and with his new disguise and piranhaish smell, he avoided getting attacked by the incredibly confused fish.

“I’m shocked and amazed that actually worked,” he thought to himself as he set himself onto the beach. As he approached that lovely looking treasure chest, (while shaking piranha off of himself) he heard a distinct splash behind him. UZ turned to look, but all he saw was ripples. “Hmm…”

[Zorolo]

OoC: Good, interesting post. ^_^

BiC: Zorlo, the Aura Master and Fencer of Tasogare, in the most showy way possible, rose from the water, crossing his arms and smiling at his new student as the creature noticed him. However, what Zorlo was doing was a bit amazing. His body was rising out of the water, not wet in the least. "Sorry I'm so late," he told the worm as he rubbed the back of his head. "I'm Zorlo, your new teacher. Now then, shall we begin?"

OoC: Now that UZ has met his new teacher, its time for UZ to ask any questions to Zorlo about the Dome he may have. After UZ is done asking questions, Zorlo will have UZ go off and into the water in search of a water dragon. A long serpent with razor sharp rows of teeth and arms with claws sharp as swords, and a tail with essentially a sword blade on it. End your post with UZ defeating this creature, and then we'll continue. 600 word minimum.

Also, I want you to read The first ten posts in one of the threads under Zorlo's Rival section. That should help you get a better grasp of Zorlo as a person. ^_^b

[UZ!]

(OoC: Heheh, 600 word minimum. I'd hit 600 before the fight even started. It's 1,164, by the way.)

BIC:
It was quite a sight, really. A small orange worm sitting next to a rather tall man decked entirely in green. UZ’s jaw was wide open in awe at what had just happened. Almost immediately as he had touched the island, a man had floated up next to him and introduced himself as… what was his name again? Zorlorn? Zippo? Either way, it took UZ almost a minute of “uh” and “er” sounds to finally put together a coherent sentence. “So… uh… why exactly are you here again, er… Ziggy?”

“That’s Zorlo. And I’m here to teach you. You came to the Dome to be taught, didn’t you?” came the answer. UZ was still bewildered, almost more so. He had just finished schooling from his colony a short while ago, and now he was back to doing more school? Something just didn’t seem right about this whole ordeal. The fact that all of this was occurring in one day wasn’t helping the poor worm’s mentality.

“So… let me get this straight, Zorlo,” UZ began with a confused look in his eye, “after wishing that I could get training, a giant dome passing as a school appeared in front of me out of thin air and now I’m being taught by… you?”

“That’s one way of putting it,” came the reply, “Your assumption of the Dome appearing to you out of thin air is correct, sort of. And, as I said before, I am indeed your teacher. Do you have any other questions for me?”

“I don’t think so, if I ask any more questions, my brain might implode.” UZ was still as confused as he had been when the Dome first appeared in front of him, but at least he had gotten some closure out of knowing that this actually was happening and he wasn’t totally crazy.

“Anyway, it’s time for your first assignment.” said Zorlo. Seeing the angst-filled look on his student’s face, he quickly continued “Don’t worry, you won’t have to write anything or something busy like that. I just need to see how you handle yourself in battle.”

UZ perked up at the mention of battle. After the day he was having, having something small to beat up on was just what he wanted. He replied, with a touch of sarcasm “Battle, eh? What evil force will you be pitting me up against, some sort of mythical dragon creature?”

Zorlo got a sly grin on his face as he replied “That’s not a bad idea.” Zorlo chuckled to himself internally as UZ’s emotion spiraled from cocky to scared out of his wits. “Don’t worry, it won’t be much of a dragon, just a little water dragon. I need you to go into the bottom of the lake here and find one, then defeat it.”

“Water dragons? I’ve heard of those before. Aren’t those the ones that are basically blue blobs of scales surrounded by sharp objects?”

“Basically.”

UZ really didn’t like this whole dome thing so far. “You know, already today, I’ve almost been killed by invisible death forces, giant needles, and piranhas, couldn’t you start me on, I don’t know, bunnies or something?” The look on Zorlo’s face didn’t change as he pointed to the lake. “Dammit. Say, one more thing before I go. Is this sand made of chocolate?”

“Uh, no,” Zorlo replied with a confused look on his face.

“Damn, so I’m not dreaming.” And with that, UZ slithered down the slope of the sand leading down into the lake. It wasn’t as deep as it appeared to be from above, but still was deep enough that any human would have trouble with the pressure. “Good thing I don’t have to breathe down here, it’s going to be hard enough fighting a dragon,” UZ thought to himself. Suddenly, the ground began to rumble and Piranhas began to scatter from the area as an ominous shadow approached from across the lakebed.

“Ah, there he is!” UZ thought as the giant creature approached. It was not quite as large as UZ had imagined it would be, but it was still quite an imposing creature. Perhaps 18 feet long and serpentine in appearance, it could’ve easily been mistaken for a giant eel, if not for the giant clawed arms it had. Its tail had the appearance of a huge axe blade, nicked and bent from past scuffles the dragon had encountered. Obviously a seasoned fighter, the dragon almost didn’t even notice the small orange blob that was sitting in its path.

UZ realized at this point that he had no plan at all. How do you kill something that’s 9 times your size? Back in the colony, all he had been taught in the ways of combat involved killing something maybe 7 feet tall at the most, so he could fight off a human. Settling down, he realized that the dragon would probably not even try to fight unless he was really provoked well. UZ grinned as he psychically picked up a good sized boulder about 3 feet from him and swung it in front of the dragon, slamming him in the face as he unknowingly swam into it.

Visibly annoyed at a rock suddenly appearing in front of him, the dragon turned a few feet only to find that same rock in front of its face. After a few more rounds of this, the dragon, totally pissed off, slammed his tail into the rock and turned towards the closest thing to him, the small orange worm. Quickly, UZ picked up another boulder and began to stop the dragon from reaching him. By now, the dragon had obviously figured out that the worm was the rock-throwing nuisance, and began slashing the water with his claws, trying to no avail to break the steady stream of rocks that UZ had began tossing in his direction.

Eventually, the dragon began doing exactly what UZ had wanted, as he began simply breaking every rock that was in the general area. As Z’eed had always told him, ‘the easiest enemy to defeat is one that is blinded by rage.’ UZ grabbed the hardest, largest rock he could manage to pick up with his powers, and waited until the dragon had turned himself completely around in his fury. With a grunt, UZ tossed the rock toward the tail of the serpent.

His aim was true, and the rock, catching the dragon off guard, slammed into his tail, the sheer momentum folding him in half and impaling the sharp end of the tail into the dragon’s head. With a roar, the dragon fell to the ground as the blade dislodged itself from his skull, spewing dark blood all over the lakebed. Slowly, the horribly wounded dragon slinked away in pain, with the rock still stuck to his tail and blood flowing from his head. UZ had won, and he didn’t even have to engage in real combat. Hopefully, he thought, Zorlo would be pleased.

(OoC:
I thought this was humorous. It's UZ when Zorlo first appears )

[Zorolo]

The Aura Master clapped as the dragon was defeated and promptly slain. "Excellent, student. You've done well. Now then, I think it is time to get you a place to rest. So now, let's go forth and find your room," the fencer said as the room faded away and became a hallway of the Dome. "Now then, let us find it," the fencer stated with a smile. On another note seconds after, he said, "And you wanted to start with bunnies. Hah. The bunnies here are stronger than that dragon," Zorlo stated with a smile.

OoC: Okay, new assignment time:

Assignment 3: The Room Assignment.

Simply put, this lesson is a description of your room. Your character will be told to find his/her room. Each room is different and unique. Take some time and describe the door; the secret to the Dome is its many doors. Each door is unique and elaborate, and gives a clue as to what lays beyond its closed surface. Afterwards, your character will enter their room, which reflects the character in some way. Take your time and describe EVERYTHING. That means furniture, colours, décor, etc...EVERYTHING!! I want you to SHOW me the place, so I can imagine what it looks like. This post is all about description, NOT necessarily action. For help, check out other people’s training threads. Minimum 600 words.

Good luck, and get to work. ^_^

[UZ!]

(OOC: Allright, didn't go totally overboard this time, only 608 words. I've always said my biggest problem was in description, so this might not be the best work I've done. I still like it.)

BIC:
“Wait, rest? You mean like sleep rest? YEEHAW!” screamed UZ, overcome with joy. It had been quite a long day, and rest was sounding pretty good at that moment. Quickly, UZ followed Zorlo to a large hallway with a small sign on the wall reading “new students.” The door they stopped in front of was rather small compared to the other doors in the hallway, some being almost as tall as the dragon he had fought before. This door was only a good 5 feet tall, and any good sized human would have much trouble using it. The door was a dark orange stained wood with small specks of gold in it. There was no handle on it, just a small sign where a handle would normally be reading “push.” In small green letters near the top, it read “UZ.” “I could really get used to this Dome thing” thought UZ as he followed the sign and pushed the door in. To his surprise, the door didn’t open, but turned with the floor, like a revolving door, in toward the room.

The room itself was one of the most beautiful things UZ had ever seen. It was almost how he had dreamed his eventual home would look like. It measured around 50 square feet total, with a 7 foot high ceiling, plenty of room for stretching (unless you happened to be one of the taller species) and was completely green. Not green with paint or wallpaper, mind you, but green with vines. The entire room was built like a small jungle. Vines and leaves covered the walls, which themselves were composed of jutted rock, and the floor was essentially a bed of grass covered in leaves. A slight dampness seemed to cover the room as well, coming from a small pond slightly off the center of the room. UZ noticed small red and purple fish species he couldn’t identify darting through the waters of the pond. Starting on the far left side of the room, stretching towards the door and covering almost half the room was a large moss covered rocky hill structure next to one of the more pillow-like sections of vine, obviously meant to be where UZ would sleep and lounge. The rock was quite smooth, was warm to the touch and had just a slight feel of grain to it when rubbed. “It’d be a perfect place for any guests I have to lounge,” thought UZ to himself.

On the north side of the room was a bookcase carved into the wall, already filled with hundreds of books about fighting, magic, life and music. The right side of the room had hooks on it where 2 classical and steel string guitars, both dark crimson red in color, were hanging, above a miniature jet black grand piano. UZ slinked over to it and found it to be perfectly in tune, much to his delight. Also present were an accordion and small collection of harmonicas on a shelf next to the Piano. Picking one up, he said “Heh, they’re all tuned in A. My favorite key. You guys are funny.” On another shelf next to the door was a collection of small glowing orbs labeled as “recording orbs.” No furniture was present besides the obvious step-like portions of the rock, and a few large hammock-like leaves stretching between one of the corners of the room. The leaves were quite thick and looked as if they could support a good deal of weight if they needed to. The overwhelming color of dark-green filled the room with a luscious lively feeling.

“Wow.” UZ said, in awe. “So… now what?”

[Zorolo]

OoC: Pretty good. Now then, let us continue:

Now it is time UZ to get some sleep. What I want you to do is, aside from having him go to sleep, have him recap on everything that happened through the Dome. The main things I want here is him to flash back to his arrival and stuff he's done and what he thinks of Zorlo so far. Word minimum is 700.

[UZ!]

(OOC: 727 words here. You know, if I had actually posted once in a while back when Altamira was my teacher, I'd probably already have been to this point in my training, heh.)

BIC:
“Well, I’m going to leave you alone for the night,” said Zorlo to his new student. “Enjoy the evening, get plenty of rest, and I’ll see you tomorrow.” With that, Zorlo ducked out of the revolving turntable of a door, leaving UZ alone in his new room. UZ slithered his way to the top of the rock bed on the side of his room and set his head against the wall, letting out a huge sigh.

“What a day it’s been,” he thought to himself. “I’m not even sure if I can remember what happened throughout the day.” Deep in thought, he grabbed a notepad from the bookshelf and began to record what he could recall from the day…

It had started around 6:00 that morning. He hadn’t been able to sleep that evening, as had been the case for a few evenings previous. He had been going slightly insane in his head due to his inactivity for weeks. All he did was scream that something, anything could happen to change that, and suddenly, an earthquake had hit. Strangely, when he awoke from the daze the earthquake had caused, he was sitting in front of a large dome. THE Dome, it would turn out to be.

He had entered the dome and wound up in a gigantic hedge maze, which left him wandering for what could’ve been hours. The hedge maze had lots of horrible noises echoing through it, which followed him annoyingly and frighteningly throughout the entire maze. Eventually he had hit the end of the maze, which had 2 forks on it. Both signs under the forks in the road had long since rotted away, but he swallowed his fear and went into what he assumed was the fork he wanted.

A long dark tunnel was what awaited him when he hit that side of the road. After a few minutes of wandering, the tunnel suddenly shrunk down to being only about 2 feet high and only slightly larger than that widthwise. The tunnel had been filled with large spreads of glow in the dark lichen and moss, which had brushed off on him in some spots, much to his hatred. Suddenly, the entire hall had begun to fill with large needles protruding from the walls. Being unable to contain himself in the sight of so many needles, all coming toward him, he fainted.

When he awoke, he had been in a stone room almost like the room he now called his own, with much less greenery and instruments, of course. An overly cheerful elf had told him something about a teacher and how the teacher wasn’t going to be there, and how the teacher was being replaced by another teacher… it was all very confusing to UZ at the time, not knowing what teacher they were talking about in the first place. Eventually he had tired of all of the hustle and bustle and gone off himself to find this teacher. A few short stops at a few hallways and the cafeteria later, he was in a large beachy room with a lake in it.

After narrowly escaping a horrible death by Piranhas with a plan that was as odd as it was… well… stupid, UZ got across the lake to an island with a treasure chest on it (“I never did find out what was in there, dammit”) and was soon greeted by a strange man decked in green who called himself Zorlo. He was forced by Zorlo to fight a water dragon, overcoming it with clever use of boulders to make the dragon stab its own head. Eventually it was explained to UZ that he was a student at the dome, and he was going to be trained by Zorlo.

UZ stopped writing for a minute to consider Zorlo. He seemed like a nice man, stern but fair in his teaching so far. And he had a sense of humor from what UZ could tell, always a plus. “In fact,” UZ thought out loud, “He almost reminds me of Z’eed in a far off sort of way. Maybe it’s just the fact that Z’eed was green. Heh.” UZ set the notepad down near the bottom of the rock bed and settled himself down near the pillow-like vines on the wall. Soon, exhaustion took him over completely, and he had gone to sleep.

[Zorolo]

OoC: I think you've probably got one of the most interesting characters I've ever come across. Now then, have UZ wake up after a good nights sleep and recall the treasure. It is time for him to go claim it. After UZ has opened the treasure chest, i want you to describe whatever is in the chest (you choose) to a great extent. From there, I want you to give it a special power that it gives to UZ when he uses it (even if UZ doesn't figure out what it does then). I'm gonna say a 500 word minimum. Good luck. ^_^

[UZ!]

(OOC: Heh, thanks. I've always said that what I lack in actual talent I make up with originality. Anyway, 502 words.)

BIC:
“Ugh…” UZ awoke with a start. The clock on the bookshelf revealed to him that it was 11:00 AM. “Wow, I slept that whole morning off.” He dragged himself off his rock and down to where he had dropped the notepad the previous evening. “Hmm…” He re-read everything he had written, chuckling at how obvious it was that it was written while he was sleep-deprived. His eye caught a certain line near the bottom of the page, however. The one about treasure was underlined. “Right, that treasure!”

UZ zipped out of his room and toward the hallway with the water themed doors. A few wrong turns and a nose smashed into a wall later, he was there. Opening the door, he found himself at that familiar lakeside beach area. Quickly gliding across the water (and dodging a good number of piranhas on the way) he got to the chest in record time. A silly grin plastered on his face, he pulled the chest open to reveal a lone gemstone.

The stone was round, polished, and about 2 inches long. It was a deep shade of blue, giving away its identity as a sapphire. It was inset in a small ring of silver, making it look like something that was once part of a necklace, minus the fact that there were no signs of holes or rope or much of anything touching it in the past. “This is it? I came all the way back here for a tiny sapphire? Dammit!” UZ threw the sapphire out toward the lake in disgust. The sapphire had other ideas, and promptly flew right back to him. “Eh?” UZ tried several more times to rid himself of the gem, and each time it gave off a small hum and flew right back to where it started from.

UZ decided to check out the sapphire more closely. Engraved into the silver were the words “third eye” repeated 3 times around the oval. Knowing how third eyes tend to work, UZ pressed it against his forehead. To his surprise, it stuck there quite firmly, only coming off with a great deal of force. It also seemed to work in the third eye sense. As soon as he put it on, his head felt clearer than normal, his mind functions seemed heightened, and he could almost feel vibrations in the air around him. UZ started back toward his room, with a sly “Cool, but can I tell people’s fortunes?”

It took about 20 minutes to get his way back to the room from that lake. (“Maybe I should get a map from someone, this is ridiculous”) When UZ got back to his room, he placed his new treasure on top of his harmonica shelf and sat back to relax at the piano. “I’ll have to speak to Zorlo about this later, maybe he’d know more. After all, that is where he had me meet him…” UZ thought to himself as he banged out a nice melody throughout the room.

[Zorolo]

I love it. A third eye sapphire. Good call. That's the most interesting thing I've seen in a while. ^_^

ANyway, now that UZ has found that Sapphire, it's time he goes to search out Zorlo. Much to UZ's luck, Zorlo will appear outside of his door the next morning. Have the two began walking off towards the Fountain Room. While they walk there, have the two discuss UZ's new item and Zorlo will be able to tell UZ a few things about it, but not too much, as Zorlo had only read bits about it. End your post with the two sitting down on a bench at the Fountain Room.

[UZ!]

(OOC: Thanks. I enjoyed the idea myself. This one is 457 words. And probably 400 of those are dialouge )

The next day, UZ awoke to a knocking at the door. Shaking himself awake, he went down to the door to find Zorlo standing there with a smile on his face. “Are you aware you snore?”

“How did you know I snored?” asked UZ.

“I could hear you from across the hall, UZ.” Zorlo said, as he began walking toward another side of the Dome, with UZ right by his side. “I heard you found the third eye sapphire in that chest. Good work, I had hoped you would take the initiative and look for it.”

“Ah, so you were the one that put it there for me?” asked UZ.

“No,” replied Zorlo “but many of the rooms in the Dome contain unseen treasures, since the Dome is, by its nature, ever changing. It’s only natural that magical items and artifacts pop up every so often. I happened to spot that sapphire, it was already there, and figured that it would suit you well.”

UZ looked rather confused about that statement. “Wait, why would you think I could use a third eye mind clearing sapphire thing in the first place?”

“Well, you don’t actually have weapons of your own, do you? I mean other than your ability to use other objects as your weapon; your arsenal is quite small.”

“Yeah, but how does that answer my question?”

“If you could have total concentration, wouldn’t that help you out immensely with what little powers you have?”

“Oooh.” UZ said. “Now I get it. Good call, Zorlo. I suppose that’s why you’re the teacher, eh?”

“Yes, yes. Now, I should probably tell you what it does. I looked up a few things on the sapphire before I met you the first time. It basically works like a good nights rest would, except much more sharply. You have a clearer mind and concentration boost. You probably felt something like that the first time you tried to put it on. It also, as the name would suggest, gives you a sixth sense. I’m not quite sure what that means, the artifact book I was reading was very vague about the matter.” Zorlo opened the door to the Fountain Room as he continued. “Of course, the obvious meanings of the sixth sense are that you’ll be able to tell when there are presences nearby that shouldn’t be there, spirits and such. Perhaps it has other powers and such. You’ll have to find those for yourself. But please, enjoy the sapphire, it’s all yours.” As he finished, he took a seat on a bench and gave an inviting signal to UZ to do the same.

“I would join you, but that would require me to be able to sit, wouldn’t it?”

“Good point.”

[Zorolo]

Okay, one thing:

When doing two phase dialogue (I.E. "Okay," he said as he walked along, "what do you think?" he asked, ending his thought.), you put a comma before the next set of Quotes. And as of now, you're training here is going to be paused so you and Wisp can be part of a joint Assignment. If you have any questions, either post in the homeroom or PM me, both will work. ^_^

[UZ!]

Oh, right, sorry. I'm just not used to that much dialouge in one chunk of writing @_@

Also, YAY JOINT ASSIGNMENT
