Yu-Gi-Oh! - Hijacked

I can also vouch that the Azures are very underwhelming next to how they appear.

Also, waiting on a yay-or-nay on doubling up before getting to an IC post. Still too late for that atm anyway; it's almost 2-freakin'-AM here

Katawa Shoujo ~ Disability Girls ~ (All Genders Welcome) REBOOT

Ami

Name: Amity "Ami" Cole

Age: 17

Grade: 2nd year

Disability: Paresthesias (lack of sense of touch)

Personality: Ami is about the friendliest person you'll ever meet. Which is kind of odd, considering that she's typically a very monotone and expressionless girl. Her voice will probably be completely devoid of emotion as she's complimenting every last thing she can possibly compliment, and she probably won't be smiling when she gives you a big hug. At first glance, feeling physical sensation would just be the start, and one could guess right after meeting her that she can't feel emotion either. This is quite far from the case. It's not that Ami is emotionless, but just that with one exception only, she has a real hard time expressing herself. That exception? Puppets. Yes, that's right. Puppets.

Ami has an odd obsession with puppets, and at least one can often be found on her person at all times. Her myriad of puppets do wonders at unleashing the unbridled force of Ami's bottomless reserve of playfulness and creativity. Perhaps as compensation for when not puppeteering, anything she does with a puppet will always be bursting with emotion, for better or for worse. Puppetry is also her favorite pasttime, quite possibly because it's when her emotions can finally run wild. Even if the show isn't always a cheerful one. She's tried being more expressive without puppets before, but to no avail.

Background: Amity Cole was born with a little bit of a neural problem in her noggin. If the doctors hadn't managed to detect and repair it, she'd have lost all five of her senses. Sadly, they weren't able to operate in time to save her sense of touch, which was the first and only one to go. It wasn't just sensory impairment that she'd been diagnosed with; there was absolutely zero sensation of anything involving physical touch. She also had problems expressing herself, but it was insisted upon by professionals that she was just fine.

Growing up, Ami had quite a few things to compensate for. A lot of basic human functions required a sense of touch, so not having that made things difficult. But she put on a figurative smile and puzzled out how to get around all the obstacles in her way. When she was little, she discovered an old and worn hand puppet on the sidewalk on her way home from school one day. Ami took it home with her. That evening, Ami's parents could hear her, speaking with more emotion in mere moments than she had her entire life, albeit in a squeaky falsetto. She'd discovered a love for puppetry of all forms. Over the years, in the interest of hoping she'd get more expressive in day-to-day interactions, Ami's parents began buying her more puppets, one at a time. By the time she was 15, she'd collected 107 unique puppets. Then it was time to transfer to Yamaku academy. Of course, she took the puppets with her.

Now it's her second year here. She's made absolutely no progress whatsoever on her goal to be more expressive on her own, and she still wouldn't feel a thing if you dismembered her. But she's not upset at all. Rather, Ami's happy to be back. Now it's another year, with new students! New students, of course, means new friends.

Other Info: Unless she miscounted last time, Ami has collected a total of 162 different puppets, including but not limited to varied hand puppets, ventriloquist dummies, and marionettes.

After some minor wikipedia browsing, a small amount of inspiration struck. So sure, I guess I'll get in on this :)
Gonna go ahead and put a reserve on disability of having no sense of touch. If you happen to have a CS ready this soon, mind my asking if you could post it up so I can get it done before going to bed?

Katawa Shoujo ~ Disability Girls ~ (All Genders Welcome) REBOOT

Might join this, but might not. At the very least, I'll have to look into Katawa Shoujo. I'll make sure to let you know once I come to a final decision on joining or not.

The World of Wasted Dreams

and like that, we have a post :3

The World of Wasted Dreams

Reiko bent down and picked up her shinai. At least it wasn't broken. Just carrying it was helping her nerves. The rest of the group...well, those whose insides were still inside them at least, still looked anywhere from shaken to paralyzed with fear. The girl who claimed to have been here before - what was her name again? - said they would have a long journey ahead of them. Putting her shinai over her back and through her shirt to hold it in place without needing one of her hands, Reiko said "If we've got a long journey ahead, let's get going. Sitting here scared won't do us any good." She was still kind of scared herself, but she was at least carrying her shinai now. She figured, as long as she had this, she could at least try to fight. Knowing that alone at least did a good number on her fear.

Then there was another girl. Smaller than herself, and clearly younger. The one who had called out to Reiko by name when she'd been tossed by that Friagne thing. She knew the girl's face, but not her name. She'd seen the girl at practice for the kendo club, so Reiko at least knew she was a club member. She seemed locked in place, no doubt from what she'd just witnessed. No point in moving on if they left a living person behind. At least, that was how Reiko saw it. If this girl had been the one to die, that would be one thing. But it wasn't that thing. This girl Reiko was vaguely familiar with was alive, and to her, that was what mattered. At the very least, she could try to train her to help out defending the group if it came down to it.

Reiko made her way to the girl in question. She was pretty sure she'd heard the girl's name mentioned at least once before, but couldn't remember. Admittedly, she was a bit of a slacker as far as club presidents went, so it would kind of make sense if she forgot another club member even existed if she didn't personally know them. Making sure her shinai was in a position where it wouldn't fall through her shirt, Reiko picked up the club member she couldn't quite recall. If this girl wasn't going to move, Reiko would simply move her. "It's time to move on," the kendo club president said, partially to her fellow club member and partially to the one who had all the knowledge about this place. "You said it yourself; this won't be quick. Let's get started."

Do we know if Shino's in the kendo club or not? I know she likes kendo, but whether she's a club member or not affects how one or two things are worded.

Pokemon: The Spectre Conspiracy

Major props to RB for setting up a list of what Pokemon we'll be able to catch, even going so far as to sort it by order of where we'll be at which point in time. The list is on the main post if anybody would like to take a look.

The World of Wasted Dreams

I volunteer to move the petrified Shino. Gotta prove that senpai did in fact notice her.

The World of Wasted Dreams

Reiko is now Senpai. Shino/Reiko now canon. Hands off the muffler girl.
In all seriousness, I'd ship that. I'd ship that so hard.
