Omg XD What have I done? I did not expect Suzy to get that reaction. That was great lol

Shine City II: The Next Season

The night was going extremely well, Suzy couldn’t have been more happier with herself. It hadn’t even been an hour and her collection of pictures was more than enough to please Mr.Jonal. Speaking of whom, had yet to show himself. She was beginning to wonder if he even existed. It was quite odd not to make an appearance at a party you were hosting. Oh well, all you have to worry about is doing your job.Sighing, she continued walking throughout the town hall when a high pitched voice broke her train of thought.

Facing toward the voice, Suzy surprisingly found the elegant girl she had just taken pictures of. A moment of excitment passed over her as she further inspected the girl’s choice of clothing. The sweetheart neckline with sleeves sounded like a rather odd choice but the girl pulled it off beautifully. She looked just like a princess. There was no doubt she was among the highest of classes here. The girl quickly praised Suzy on her own clothes, bringing a smile to her face. It was nice to think that at least one person could appreciate the skill of fashion.

Of course the girl had to go destroy any thoughts of happiness by asking for her photographs. It didn’t matter where Suzy ventured to take pictures of, there was always that one person. She wasn’t sure if other photographs just simply handed over their pictures but that wasn’t the way her job worked.

“Dear, I’m flattered and glad you have an eye for fashion but I don’t think you understand my job at all. I’m not here to be a charity and simply hand out every photograph someone’s in. All the pictures I take will go directly to the host of the party, Mr.Jonal, for that is why I was hired. If you wish to make any claims for the photographs, you’ll have to go directly to him,” Suzy sighed in annoyance. She couldn’t remember how many times she had to give this conversation to people. It was a shame though, she was just beginning to like this girl. She hoped the girl wouldn’t push the subject further for it would only delay her job and ruin the party.

“It was a pleasure making acquaintances with you but I must return to my work,” Suzy gave the girl one last smile before returning to the hunt for the right picture. As she left, Suzy couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. It seemed as she grew older, the more making friends became harder. Having at least one person to spend time in Shine City would have been nice but alas, that was where Suzy fell short. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t hold in speaking the truth. It seemed she lived in a society where showing someone’s reality was frowned upon.

Shine City II: The Next Season

New Year’s Eve - 7:30 PM

Arriving at the ball, Suzy couldn’t help but be impressed at the magnificent sight. From the lighting to the decorations, it was beyond perfect. She couldn’t have done a better job herself, and that was saying quite a bit. Part of her tingled with excitement at the thought of taking photographs at such a beautiful venue. While the majority of her job included endless photoshoots of designer fashions, most of which were beyond the price of anyone attending the ball, something about going to the fashion rather than having it come to her was exciting.

Suzy gracefully walked into the town hall, making glances at every possible area and calculating various shot types inside her mind. Very few people had arrived yet, although she still made note of them. One particular revealing, black gown had Suzy mentally gagging. Some people simply didn’t know how to dress, a startling fact. Very few people understood the time and effort it went into it as well. No one in the entire room would ever know how long it took Suzy to find the right dress and mask, how much time she spent making her makeup flawless, it didn’t matter that every inch of her look was perfect, no one cared. At least you look stunning. Smiling to herself, Suzy continued her search through the ball.

8:30 PM

As more guests began arriving, Suzy took her opportunity to begin snapping photos. The ballroom filled with swarms of blacks and whites, making her dizzy at times. It wasn’t long before the beautiful chords of the piano began echoing throughout the room and the guests began to dance. She lingered behind couples, carefully watching and waiting for the right moment. Photography was all about timing and perfection, something Suzy had practiced for years.

One couple swept across the dance floor, a petite brunette styled in a pure white gown danced in the arms of a towering man with obviously dyed silver hair. It wasn’t the way they danced that captivated her but the way they looked at each other, both full of passion and love.

While the man was wearing such strong colors she disapproved of, the way his alluring, chestnut eyes glazed into the girl’s was as if he had been waiting years for this exact moment to dance with the one he loved. It was absolutely breathtaking. Suzy snapped several shots, hoping to catch the same magic she beheld now.

Taking a step back, Suzy made her way to a small corner in the room where she could peek at her pictures. She couldn’t have been more proud. They were absolutely gorgeous, particularly of the couple dancing. Mr.Jonal was extremely lucky to have chosen Suzy as the photographer for the pictures were absolutely perfect. What a great way to start here in Shine City. Suzy smiled to herself, forgetting all about her lonely and boring Christmas. Feeling satisfied with her pictures so far, Suzy returned to scouting the ball for the hottest trends and stunning gowns.

Fairy Tail: We Are Family

Paige grinned at Terra's adventurous spirit. While finding Cilia was the priority, who said they couldn't have a little fun along the way? Glancing back at Terra, Paige took off sprinting, manipulating the wind to create a boom effect the moment her feet moved. Maybe they'd even run into some hooligans, a grin spread across Paige's lips at the thought.

"You coming?" She called out to Terra.

Shine City II: The Next Season

December 25th, 10:00 AM

Christmas. The time of year where friends and families got together to celebrate the birth of Christ and the spirit of gift giving. Suzy sat perched on her couch while drinking a fresh, hot cup of tea. It had been a long time since she had celebrated Christmas with her family. She sighed heavily and stared out her window looking over Shine City.

Moving here had seemed like a nice break from Soul, away from the constant memory of her family. It didn’t matter where she hid or where she moved to, Christmas would always tear down the iron wall of her locked up memories. She supposed that was what she deserved after ignoring her parent’s wishes. It had been her choice, and she chose her passion over her family. Shrugging it off, Suzy took another sip of her tea. Despite the fact that it was Christmas, there was a lot of work to do before New Years.

Suzy had been invited to photograph a masquerade ball hosted by someone of the name Jacques Jonai. It was actually a great opportunity to start her collection for work and possibly converse with the city’s elite. Connections were everything in her profession and if she wanted the best pictures, she needed the best people. Plus, anything that gave her the excuse to go shopping was worth participating in. She’d already booked an appointment at a spa and planned on visiting Shine Junction for the perfect dress the next day.

Hundreds of dresses sat within her closet, all of which would be useless for the ball. One dress in particular, a beautiful white dress with a golden, regal pattern covering the top, was a dress she had kept forever, waiting for the right time. No matter how pretty it was, if she wanted any chance of taking pictures at the ball, she couldn’t wear it.

After finishing her drink, Suzy quickly washed all of the dishes and straightened anything she might have tampered with. It was better to clean up everything right away than let it turn into a disaster later. People who simply left things around and waited until the last minute drove Suzy insane. Order and perfection were everything. It was the reason she had gotten as far as she did in such a short amount of time. If people weren’t so lazy, the world would be a much better place. Shaking her head, Suzy strolled to her office, where she spent the rest of the day researching and writing for her blog.

New Year’s Eve

Suzy stared into her closet mirror, examining her body from head to toe. A smile crept up her face. Choosing to go with a simple laced white dress proved to be an amazing decision. Touched with pink, cherry lipstick, a light pink eyeshadow, and the typical mascara and eyeliner, she looked absolutely stunning. While she may be coming for work, Suzy had no doubt she would capture the eyes of some in the room. Perhaps she’d even have the chance to dance. Thanks to her parent’s political status, Suzy had been forced to attend several balls and had even been given lessons for dancing. While she was by no means a professional dancer, she had worked hard to learn the craft and could dance fairly well. Work would come first though, of course.

Only one thing was missing from her look-a mask. It had been pure luck that she had found the perfect one to go with her dress. Suzy tied the white mask around her head, careful not to smudge any of her carefully applied makeup. Taking one last glance in the mirror, Suzy gave the final approval to leave. She grabbed her well-loved camera, her purse containing the ticket to enter the ball, and headed out the door. It was still fairly early before the party actually started but Suzy wanted to scout the area, find out where the best lit areas were and what scenery she could play with. Suzy climbed into her car and drove off to what would hopefully be a memorable night.

God's Shattering [Concluded]

Fei

Fei should have known better. Walking around with her crimson hair out in the open and an Imperium guard by her side was completely foolish. She should have known those around here wouldn’t care who her mother was. How could she have been so stupid? Despite the fact that both Jessi and Fei were more than capable enough to take down every one of the scumbags in the room, fighting all of them at once would be difficult, even for Fei. Calculations ran through her head of ways to get it over with as quickly as possible while she waited for the bartender to apologize for his tongue.

The sound of incantation caught Fei’s attention before pain beyond measure bursted into her stomach and darkness filled her vision. Sweat formed around her brow as she clutched her double swords for support. The pain was incredible but Fei would rather die than let such cowardly exiles take her.

An aggressive voice screamed at her and Fei had barely enough time to flinch before a powerful arm swung into her gut. A loud growl escaped her mouth, followed by a spur of curses as someone dragged her by the ponytail outside.

How...

Dare..

They...

Music for your enjoyment

Fire began to entirely consume Fei as her anger surged. The necklace under her shirt glowed furiously. No one would make it out of here alive. Any chance of mercy had diminished. Fei let the deadly flame within her completely take over She didn’t care if she used up all of her fire and heat tonight, these people would pay. While all she could see was blackness, Fei flicked open her eyes and let the burning flame glow within her pupils.

Screw her eyesight, she’d win this fight with or without it. Fei had gotten sick of the endless scene of sand but right then she was grateful someone had taken her out into it. The moment the person moved, Fei could hear their footsteps in the sand. She tightened her grip around the swords to reassure herself they were still there. The fools had forgotten to remove one of Fei’s deadly skills. Idiots. She didn’t have enough time to move out of the way before the person’s feet left the ground and pounced on her but Fei swung with her right arm, hoping to hit the person’s neck. Without knowing the size or height of the body, Fei wasn’t sure exactly where she hit only that she made contact. The moment her sword sunk into flesh, she pushed the person to the ground hard, and rose from the ground.

Fei looked at where she thought the body was and glared. She smacked her foot into where she believed to be their stomach. “I don’t need my mother to protect me, you little bitch,” Fei cursed loudly toward the body. Hopefully whoever it was would stay on the ground, she had more important things to worry about.

She needed to get Jessi out of the tavern and leave far from this rotten place, and quickly. Without any eye sight, she was practically useless. Fei reached out with her hands, searching for a door or any building. After a moment of foolishly walking around and repeatedly kickings of the sand, Fei finally regained back her eyesight. One moment everything had been dark, the next her entire collection of color had returned. Jessi was the first thought that came to her head. She swept around to find the tavern directly behind her and huffed in annoyance.

Fei closed her eyes and once again let the flame within her burn brightly. She could feel the fire within her reaching halfway down the well of her ability, but it didn’t matter. Fei was only focused on the task on hand. Stretching her hands out, she left the bloody sword to continue dripping blood. She thrusted the doors to the tavern open, practically pulling them off the hinges. The first man she laid eyes was struck by a slash to the stomach, the next a kick to the face. She quickly caught sight of her protective guard fighting and a smile spread across her lips. He’d fought his way through, something Fei found extremely impressive. Striding over to him, anyone who would try get in her way would either get a severe burn or a slash to the throat. Fei was in no mood to play around.

“Still alive? I’m surprised you’ve made it this far,” Fei said when she reached Jessi. Glancing around, Fei knew no matter how powerful they were, they couldn’t defeat this many people. She needed to get Jessi out of here and then she could follow through with her plan. There would be a bonfire in Exilia tonight.

Suzy

Name: (full please): Bae Su Ji (Suzy)
Age: 16-35: 23
Height: 5’6
Weight: 105lbs
Likes: Fashion/Photography/Order/Perfection/Intelligent people/ Origami/ Control

Dislikes: Slobs/Lazy people/ Ignorant + unintelligent people/ Messes

Party Trick: Suzy is exceptional at origami and can create practically anything out of paper

Profession: Professional Photographer for popular Korean magazine, CeCi

Bio/Personality:

Everything was planned out for Suzy before she could even talk. Born from two distinguished politicians in Korea, it was expected of her to achieve excellence in life. For them, that meant placing at the top of her class and becoming a successful lawyer in her future. Suzy grew up obediently, studying until her eyes dried out and following any orders her parents gave her. It wasn’t until high school did Suzy finally began speaking her opinion.

Planning her outfits and going on endless shopping sprees were things Suzy extremely loved. With her life constantly filled endless equations and rules, her clothes were the only outlet she had. She's also extremely girly, always making sure she smells nice and her nails are perfectly polished. During high school, she stumbled across a photography class and instantly fell in love. At the age of 16, Suzy started her own blog online, using a fake alias, and shared the pictures she took of various fashionable people with the world.

Life for Suzy was all about perfection and because of that, she expects nothing but the best of herself. Things must be done right, otherwise there’s no point. She follows an exact schedule, often OCD at times but the idea of structure puts her at ease and calms her. Lazy and unmotivated people drive Suzy crazy, something she’ll make sure everyone knows. Suzy’s also not afraid to tell people her mind and can be outright bossy. While it might come across as rude, Suzy likes to thinks she tells it as it is. On top of that, she tends to be judgmental about the way people dress. Appearance tends to tell a lot about a person, something Suzy practically lives by.

By the time she turned 18, Suzy had no intention of becoming the perfect lawyer her parents wanted her to be. It didn’t go well though when she skipped the college exams her whole education had been preparing for, resulting in the biggest argument she’d ever had with her parents. After bombshells of truth and shock, Suzy's parents never trusted her again. When she graduated high school, her parents chucked her some money and threw her out the house, disowning her completely. It was the most humiliating thing she’d ever experienced, she even changed her name to Suzy so she wouldn't have to face the mockery of it. Like everything else around her though, Suzy moved on.

With the money her parents gave her, she moved into an apartment and focused all of her energy on fashion and photography. She invested half of the money her parents gave her into local stocks, which eventually grew into enough money to financially support her, but she still worked two part-time jobs for security. Before she even realized it, her blog became incredibly popular among the teen community and had over half a million views. At the age of 20, Suzy received an invitation to work at one of the most popular magazines in Korea, Ceci. With her career rocketing and the stocks flying, by the time she was 23, Suzy was already extremely successful and wealthy for someone of her age.

Ceci Magazine recently issued a story to be done over Japanese fashion, assigning none other than Suzy for the task. They flew her and a new and shy writer to Shine City, where she would spend the next two months collecting pictures and absorbing the overall culture.

@BlueAjah You could say she won her ticket on the radio! That's how a lot of the newest Shine City residents are getting them. Or, if you want her to sort of be working at the same time, you could say she got hired by the event coordinator to be their photographer for the night! ^.^

@Narcotic Dollie

Suzy would probably be more likely to work there than enter a radio contest so let's do that! Thanks! :D

@Knight of Doom
Thanks

Shine City II: The Next Season

Do let us know. :) In particular, our lovely female characters because I notice the majority have diminished. Perhaps Suzy @BlueAjah makes a debut at this ball?

Also, use the time between the time skip and the ball to describe and sum up holiday shenanigans. Go crazy, you kooky kids!

@MyCatGinger

I would be down for that! How would she be invited though? I'll start searching for some dresses though :P (Also, is it okay if I put my Cs in the Character tab now? :)
