Much Like a Glob of Gum on the City Streets...

My account, along with most of the memories I experienced in it, remains.

Hello! My name is Gummy, and I haven't opened this account in eight months. Long story short, a hurricane (two, actually) plowed through my tiny little island on the Caribbean, and the lifestyle I had built up to that moment got swept away along with it. By the time I managed to find a steady stream of spare time, I'd honestly long since forgotten about this Guild and its members. So sorry!

A-Anyway, my intentions are to continue roleplaying as a member of the Guild, should there be no inconveniences. I might as well be starting completely from scratch, so I'll post a little briefer on how I roll when it comes to RP.

How long have you been Roleplaying? Honestly, I wouldn't give myself anything over two years. I've had a lot of experience writing short stories and I've even finished a 50,000 word novella, but I don't roleplay as often as I write solo. Also, I might be a bit rusty on the proper procedure of roleplaying since I've been away for so long.

What types of roleplays are you interested in? I'm a casual roleplayer, and I much prefer roleplaying in a group, as opposed to one-on-one. My ideal types of roleplays are lighthearted, usually fantasies or shoujo-inspired romances, and they have pretty chill people worth having a friendly chat with, even if it's outside the OOC. I'm always willing to try new things and meet new people, and I might take the craft more seriously in the long run, but I'd rather take things--as the people in my country say--slowly.

What are your hobbies? Not much out of the ordinary, I suppose. I mean, I'd say I write, but I'm guessing pretty much everyone here does too! I'm fascinated by the worlds portrayed in light novels, anime, manga, etc., and I'm very open minded when it comes to what type of story I'm enjoying. I'll get hooked on just about anything if it's generally considered remotely... hookable, and I'm a firm believer that even a poorly-animated story can still be beautiful if the story redeems it! (*cough Dragon Ball Super cough*) Also when it comes to video games, I'm Team Nintendo, no shame.

Persona: Forget the Night

@Dogematix Don't count me out, either. My hope is still intact.

Tiina Bouquet

"Was that... a wolf?"

Tiina, being a half-elf, caught a chilling snarl coming from outside the Academy's grounds. All the way from inside the courtyard, she was certain that the noise came specifically of a particular type of wolf, and she could easily back her claim up with the poster that she had originally examined from the first steps she took inside Academy grounds... You know, the one that said "Beware of Wolves!" printed on the bottom right corner.

Trembling, she fumbled around for her phone and pulled her earbuds out of her breast pocket. She inserts the "R" earbud into her left ear and flips her Spotify playlist in the "Shuffle All" mode before turning the volume up to its maximum and shoving the other ear bud into the wrong ear.

"I will survive, I will survive!"

"Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'm still alive!"

...The irony of the song that had just popped out of Tiina's playlist caused her lips to quiver, and pretty soon, a pair of tears started rolling down her cheeks. "I will survive..." she started mumbling to herself as she tried her hardest to keep up with the lyrics.

About a minute in, she noticed the shadow of someone getting closer to her. As an instinctual response, Tiina curled her body up a little tighter.. but she started dropping her guard when she realizes that this person resembled a staff member. She turns her head back and and stares into the eyes of the lady in front of her. Her mouth was moving, but Tiina couldn't make out a word she was saying. It wasn't until the staff member made a miming motion that Tiina noticed that her playlist was still going on at max volume, and the music blasting out of her earbuds was drowning out any and all noise from outside.

"What are you doing out here, Miss? And what are you listening to that's gotten you so frightened?" the lady asked.

"I'm sorry, miss... I become extremely uncomfortable when I'm surrounded by big crowds, so I came here to the courtyard in search of some breathing room." She didn't even stop to consider the lady's occupation or position in the educational hierarchy, but out of distress, Tiina decided to spill her fears to this stranger. "I understand if you need me to go back to the cafeteria..." As she said so, in a disappointed tone of voice, wiping her tear-stained glasses as she helped herself up.

@Silver Carrot Gotcha. Expect a response in a few.

Hikari Academy

@Silver Carrot I'm not controlling a staff member, but we need to make this work somehow, I guess. Any ideas on a way to have Ms. Mako interact with Tiina at the moment?

Hikari Academy

@Lonewolf685 Hmm. You make a good point. Changing it right away.

EDIT: Fixed! Thank you for your feedback.

Hikari Academy

@Cerces22 I'll keep that in mind. :P

"Dammit, shut up!" Tiina cried out to the heavens, but despite the damage that the scream had left on her throat, it was absolutely ineffective, since the throng of students surrounding her in the first floor cafeteria were just as agitated. Resigning herself to the cacophony of screams and whimpers, she decided to take a seat in a corner, away from the tables and any area densely occupied by random students. "Honestly, I know it's a skill that I inherited from my mother, but I wish I could at least toggle the effects of my enhanced hearing," she sighed, fishing a pair of earbuds and her cellphone from her breast pocket. "This should tune everything out... hopefully."

She hadn't even placed her earbuds on her when a particular sound echoed throughout the hallway. Again, Tiina's ears perked up as she tried to pinpoint the location of the noise."This is... galloping? And I hear human footprints, too; fast ones." she muttered to herself, rushing over to the courtyard in search of some kind of information.

As she turned the corner to the courtyard, the rhythmic, yet muffled thumping of hooves stomping against the thick grass was gradually becoming louder and louder, until her other superhuman skill--her enhanced eyesight--could make out the silhouette of a centaur and a human, both of which were dashing away from the forest, in the direction of the Academy's building. The two of them were actually quite far away from her current position, but making out their faces was second nature after they started getting closer to her line of sight. "These guys look way too young to be professors here. Just by looking at the human's face, I can tell there's very little reason to worry about them for now." Just as she started turning on her heel, she caught wind of a third series of footsteps... Familiar ones. "Circe..."

With a loud sigh, Tiina tried to take a seat in a remote corner of the courtyard when her ears perked up again. This time, the noise that caught her attention was much more threatening.

Grr...

She couldn't pick up the species of whatever was making that intimidating snarl, but Tiina could only imagine that whatever it was wasn't very friendly...

"Was that... a wolf?"

Hikari Academy

@TheWindel Alive and kicking. I'm just waiting for everyone to retreat... Tiina can't see inside the forest for reasons already discussed, so right now she's just one in the crowd at the cafeteria.

EDIT: Posted! I figured I should put her ears into the spotlight instead.

Persona: Forget the Night

Posted! Oh, yeah, let me point out that the voice in red is not Jeff's Persona--it's actually the "voices inside his head". I think you could already tell, but...

Just in case.
