Y-yessir! Thank you, sir! I'm very prone to mistakes, s-so I appreciate your help. I-I'll try to be as light as possible....

My name is Tad at least that what I think, but my friends sometimes call me Nimwad... or Wad for short....... I guess you should also know that sometimes I uncontrollably fall asleep at random moments...

*looks around* W-wait what happened to the other guy?

Re:
Charles 2008/7/4 (Fri.) 10:54:09
Well, then! Nice to meet ya, Tad!! Sorry it had to be in this situation!! The name's Charles Wilde or Charlie, whichever. On the field, my friends call me Duke...but we can finish intros for later! Right now, Mother Nature's against us and--

Wait. Where IS the other kid? *stops running* 'ELLLOOOO~~!! *to Tad* Hey, Tadpole! Heheh...I like that nickname for you...I might stick with it :P Where'd you see your friend last?

Return to the earth where you belong!

How about we leave it alone? It is nature, after all.

At least in this world it is...

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Cario 2008/7/1 (Tue.) 09:09:37
*sits down on grass at a safe distance, forgetting about the rest*

Say, this grass feels less dry. Or maybe it's because I have been in a desert too long... Perhaps there's a water source not too far down. I wonder what happens if I break this earth...

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Enlil 2008/7/1 (Tue.) 16:58:06

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Dusk 2008/7/2 (Wed.) 06:31:51
Since there's two, they certainly don't look uncommon! Nature or not, they're threatening us, so why the hell not?! People kill people out of self defense, too.

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Enlil 2008/7/2 (Wed.) 10:33:34
But I'M supposed to be DEAD.

*somewhat angry* Why would I want to defend my life when I should've passed on? When you're dead, you're better off dead.

*returns to indifferent demeanor* Nevermind. Ultimate reality has its own way of working things, and I'm not meant to understand it...

Whether I was transported here by mistake or not, it's not my problem. But I've put off my task for too long...

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Cario 2008/7/2 (Wed.) 12:45:39
*overhears Enlil*

*looks up* Why would you have a life when you're dead?

By the way, if you would stand aside, I could make a crevice and have the trees fall in.

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Enlil 2008/7/2 (Wed.) 16:40:51
*looks toward Cario's direction* ...... (That's my question: If I'M DEAD the why am I still ALIVE?)

Go ahead and make your crevice. While you're at it, shall I make a tornado?

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Cario 2008/7/2 (Wed.) 18:49:30
*suddenly looks dark and threatening* If you make a tornado, perhaps I'll give you a storm then...

...! *shakes head back to normal self*
Only if they dodged my crevice. Then you can blow them in or something. Stand back now. *gets on knees and puts hand on earth* Let's hope this won't be as hard as desert land... Open up.

[A crack forms under his hand, and moves towards one burning tree, growing bigger as it does, until it becomes a crevice under it.]

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Dusk 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 06:18:10
Who the hell cares if you're SUPPOSED to be DEAD. There's plenty of religious doctrines teaching about life after death, and even though I don't go through any religious experiences through the death and transition, but I've been given life.

Don't tell me you thought death would serve as an escape. Those thoughts are for hopeless dreamers.

*just now noticing the crevice* Wh-whoa....

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Syluran 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 06:19:39
There's no water under there, if that's what you're looking for.

*tree is falling through*

But there is no bottom, so you have my gratitude for getting rid of that one.

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Hans 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 07:37:27
Ooh~? Maybe there is water, and it's just hiding itself from you~ This place is not fit for explanations after all!

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Zarenth 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 09:10:31

Wait.

What is that?

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Cario 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 09:15:47
Who said I was looking for water? Now that this one's gone, we have just one left---

...What's what?

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Enlil 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 11:02:50
Death lasts only for an instant. But after death... what would call it? Life? *encircles self with a weak breeze, only enough to sway the grass* (Does that mean I'll end up living forever?) *smirk* How boring.

*glances down at the crevice*
*perks up and smiles* Excellent work! I think you have uncovered the source of the undead trees.

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Syluran 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 15:21:03
A bad assumption on my part. With your ability to use water, and the tree on fire, I thought that's be it. I did not mean to offend you if it did.

Ah, so the smell wasn't this tree's alone.

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Dusk 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 15:27:11
*raising an eyebrow at your use of wind for dramatic effect*

What's wrong with calling it life? It's not that much different. You're conscious, speaking, and have an identity. Besides, "life" is just a word. It really doesn't matter what it's called, right? We all have artistic licenses, so call it whatever the heck you want.

I think you're being overly dramatic about the concept of death. Just accept it, and if you really want to be "dead" so much, be patient and wait for this "life" of yours to end.

Holy sh---!!
*stepping back farther away from the crevice*

Maybe you could, uhh, I dunno, close it back up?

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Cario 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 16:05:52
It's fine. In my world, any mage can handle basic elements, I just went in depth with the water and specialize in it. There's also further specialization after that, but... *suddenly looks dark and hungry* I haven't been using it for a while...

*shakes head, then looks in the crevice* Huh. You wonder how they got to the surface. *pauses* Er, I don't know how to close crevices. Small cracks, maybe...

Oh hey, our tree's fire seems to catching on.

Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Hans 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 16:12:33
Ahahahaha!!

Look, Zarenth, it's the flames of hell!

Last I checked, hell was supposed to be an unamusing topic.

Guard me while I cast....

*draws out patterns in the air (flashy and bright like most magic-y scenes), creates a sphere around him, connects three lines from random areas and points them all in front of him* There's air, the dried leaves will do as fuel, and I should be able to concentrate the heat in the air towards this thing.

Help..?

Re:MEANWHILE

Well, I can't be the only one distracting the tree while he's casting. Besides you're dead. Does it matter?

Re:MEANWHILE
Dusk 2008/7/1 (Tue.) 06:42:44
*totally scared, but his face only has a few hints of it; starting to get kinda teary-eyed*

I'm dead, but I've been placed in another world to live in, so I'm not some ghost! I have a body!

......*still not moving, just staring and gawking at the tree that is biting Charles while falling on him*

Re:MEANWHILE
Enlil 2008/7/1 (Tue.) 07:27:20
Since you've died once, another death shouldn't be as traumatic.

Fighting is such a tiresome chore... But to avoid being a hypocrite I should put myself in the face of death and fight, I suppose...?

But I'd hardly care whether you think I'm a hypocrite or not...

Re:MEANWHILE
Syluran 2008/7/2 (Wed.) 06:29:56
Does no one here respect the lives of others?

Re:MEANWHILE
Enlil 2008/7/2 (Wed.) 10:21:31
It would be a hindrance to my job if I did. I'm supposed to punish them...

But there's hope. That blond one over there is trying very hard to save those two.

I could help them, if you so wish, but I don't think my skills would be very useful... especially since those trees don't seem to be rooted to the ground... They walk...

Re:MEANWHILE
Syluran 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 06:30:05
Hindrance or not, you determine what to respect, not your job. But yes, I do appreciate that man's efforts. *flipping through book trying to figure a way to destroy/keep tree away*

Your skills? I'm curious.

Re:MEANWHILE
Enlil 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 11:07:00
I manage a certain force of nature. But it seems that several of us can do something similar using different methods.

I wonder, if our skills, used at the same time, would conflict with each other.

Re:MEANWHILE
Syluran 2008/7/3 (Thurs.) 16:19:44
Without sufficient information, I cannot determine that.
