Title: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on September 27, 2017, 06:14:30 PM
Ok, the last time I found out the rules weren't fully clear yet. Some details seemed to be ignored too.
Now, I'm trying this again, with some slight changes.

Beastopia, "Where luck is found", as the saying goes, is the biggest city on the planet Gaia.
It also serves as capital for Ythreïman, "Rock in the waves".
You take the role of a fortune seeker. You have just gained your Beastiopian ID and stand in front of the main city hall.

You can stay in the central city, Sterling Square, with its mild and timid climate.
Brave the simulated rain of Refreshing Rainforest, an imitated rainforest.
Face Dashing Desert, an imitated desert and its occasional fake sandstorms.
Go for a swim in the underwater city and the stormy waters of Soothing Sea.
Or step in the imitated tundra and the pseudo-blizzards of Intriguing Icefields.
Everything is connected by tram and metro (bus not available).

But. Know this. The city walls can become a refuge... or a prison.

1 city. 5 areas. Roughly 5000 square miles. An estimated 25 million inhabitants. All with a dream. Where do you go?
(P.S. listen "try everything" if you wish to really get in the mood  ;) )



Rules:
It is illegal to godmod or powerplay.
Romance and violence must be mild at worst.
Character limit: 2 (All characters are strangers to each other).

Use European metric systems (Confused? Read American units instead).
Magic or special abilities except flight (even if it belongs to the species) are illegal.
All species allowed (Aquatic species start in Soothing Sea, since fish can't breathe air).
Leaving Ythreïman = leaving the thread.

Background:
Time era: right now.
Currency: Gheo.
Environment: Grassy plains with patches of forest.

Character introduction:
Full name
Species
Initial dream (not obligatory)
Background summary



Name: Mary Love
Species: Sheep
Initial dream: Become a scientist
Background summary: Born in a small village, she soon left home as it had little to offer. With her savings, she travelled to the city to try to become scientist. Interestingly, she didn't really care whether or not she would become famous.

Mary still couldn't believe she was actually a resident of Beastopia. Holding the shiny new ID in her hoof, she kept staring at it, not knowing she was standing in the way. Filled with exitement, she decided it was time to make career. Putting the card away and looking around, she knew it was first time to get a real job. She wasn't content on the dishwashing she did daily at all. Though, she didn't think of what science she would study exactly. She kept it as a later concern. She started making her way to the tram stop.

Mary didn't notice Lightstone, as she boarded the tram and let it go to her apartment. She was living in the city for several weeks already. However, Beastopian schools were more likely to accept official residents, and she knew that.

Enters apartment and goes to check on neighbors "hi" he said to his first neighbor, a sheep

Post by: Ara Av-Toa on October 03, 2017, 04:42:10 PM
Mary pointed the ears. She turned around to find a fox standing next to her. She said: "Oh, hi. Can't say I've seen you before. My name is Mary. Mary Love. And you are?"

Mary looked confused. "Sorry, never heard of it. Try looking it up. ...Now I mention. How long have you been my neighbor? I haven't seen you moving in."

Mary's face went to surprise. "So, you just moved in! Interesting. How long have you been in the city already? Or did you want to get your ID before moving in? Me, I live here for about four weeks by now."

Mary looked at her apartment door for a few seconds before saying: "That means you wanted to register first. Either way, I'd love to help you out."

Mary tried to keep up with him. "Night shift! Bad choice right now. Well, if you trust your key with me I can at least put your belongings inside..."

Mary, in the meantime, went on to sit in her apartment, reading a newspaper.

The next morning Mary noticed Lightstone walking in the hallway and she caught up. She asked slightly drowsy: "Had a good night?"

Mary sighed. "Yeah... this night was noisier than usual, let me tell you. Despite that, it takes some getting used to indeed. You're lucky they build these apartments keeping that in mind. It's by far not as bad as it could be."

(Let's assume you're right about the time.)
Mary clacked her tongue and smiled. "I was just about to make it!" Her face went down. "...Well, make... frozen instant meal, that is... But, eh... Care coming?" She raised her eyebrows as she made the question.

(Note: Roleplaying isn't our real life, time and world. It's not bad to base your playing on those facts, but keep it in mind as time most often stands still between posts. Timeskips also occur.)

Mary answere: "Get my ID! And sort a job as dishwasher in a nearby cafe... I hate that. But, it beats having no income. What do you do for a living, exactly?"

Post by: Ara Av-Toa on October 04, 2017, 07:31:32 PM
Mary asked instantly: "Fortune seeker? The majority of the people moving here is exactly that. Me included."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset

Post by: Ara Av-Toa on October 04, 2017, 07:37:12 PM
Mary opened her apartment door whilst saying: "No. Only occasionally I put the radio on. Though, I can imagine you find that quite boring... Ah well. Entree!" She swung the door open and made an inviting gesture.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset

Post by: Ara Av-Toa on October 04, 2017, 07:42:43 PM
Mary took a pair of frozen meals out of her fridge and started: "Well. Then... If you're not a fortune seeker. You surely must have a reason to move to Beastopia." She put the meals in the microwave and switched it on, and continued by getting the table ready.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset

"well..." *looks nervesly around and wispers* "im trying to run from my past"
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on October 04, 2017, 07:50:56 PM
Mary stood still for a few seconds. "Run from the past... Which must mean..." she said slowly, and went on: "I don't think you want to talk about THAT. Must be a pretty stressful situation you came from. I came here for education, and my family full well knows it. Even so, if I'm not mistaken, your family doesn't know what you're doing here. Food's done in a few mins, by the way."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset

Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on October 04, 2017, 07:58:16 PM
Mary replied: "Science. What science, however, is still open. I moved in because Beastopian schools tend to accept residents easier than outsiders. Perhaps it has something to do with tax, but I'm not sure really."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: lightstone on October 04, 2017, 08:00:52 PM
so you like sience, i couldnt study that at where i came from, wasnt aloowed by my pare... any way is the food done yet
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on October 04, 2017, 08:06:51 PM
By way of answer the microwave started beeping. Mary didn't have to response and put the dish on his plate. She looked a bit doubtful as she said: "I hope you don't mind having only vegetables today? I bought it for myself, of course, so... yeah. But to your question: yes, I like science. But not all parts of it, of course. I'm most likely to do something in chemistry, however."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: lightstone on October 04, 2017, 08:10:03 PM
no i dont mind the vegtables at all sice im not good at hunting and needed to get own food in my pa...nyway any questions for me?
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on October 04, 2017, 08:21:07 PM
Mary said careful: "You come from a hunting tradition. So... Do you come from the north of the continent west of Ythreïman?"
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: lightstone on October 04, 2017, 08:23:18 PM
running from the past is hard but yeah where are you from?
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on October 05, 2017, 01:30:14 PM
Mary answered: "From a small village elsewhere on this island. I didn't have a possibility to grow there, so I came here- universities aplenty. You, on the other hand, could've gone anywhere. Why did you, out of all places, seek your refuge here?"

Mary whistled. "Then you've picked the right city. Beastopia's the biggest on Gaia. They've got a lot of searching to do- should they start. Plus, hunting is illegal on Ythreïman, what doesn't make it appealing for them to come to the island in the first place." Mary took a bite and looked Lightstone straight in the eyes.

From the center there was a direct connection to all other 4 parts of the city. Indicated by a sign, Sasha could go under the main square to a station.

Mary said surprised: "So, you'll be exploring, then. Useful tip: if you go to the central square, you'll see stairs and elevators going down to the main station that connects the parts of the city, and the city with the rest of the island. It should be explained further on the spot. Just... be careful, ok? See you later!"

Mary shrugged. "That's up to you. Personally I like Soothing Sea most. I mean, you'll travel through an underwater tunnel to get to its center! Best part for me... and the climate is practically the same. Just more windy. Cheated, of course, but still."

Post by: Alice_The_Mad on October 05, 2017, 03:56:05 PM

Full name: Alice Meyers
Species: Female Fox (Green fur, abnormally long bushy tail, red fox patterning)
Initial dream: To make it into one of the big computer security firms in Beastopia as an Ethical Hacker.
Background summary: Alice was born in the city to two loving parents. She went to college for computer science, but since then has struggled keeping a job. The tech industry even here was never kind to females. Mostly she works for freelance; cleaning code, small time hacking (Nothing illegal mind you), and website building. She calls her family every other week to say hi, and lives a fairly average life.
_____________________________________________________________________________


As the soft wisps of her chai's steam wafted into the air, dancing across her nose, Alice had a feeling today was going to be a long day. She didn't have any proof, of course, but just that sixth sense in the back of her mind told her.

It was blissfully quiet around her in the little cafe off of the central plaza. Her tail swished along the smooth tiled floor, her eyes scanning a new piece of code one of her compatriots on her forum had sent her to debug. The soft light of the laptop screen played with her naturally lime green fur.

The code was okay, nothing too special, just a cracking formula for helping people get into accounts they had forgotten passwords to. Definitely not elegant by any means. She tapped a few notes into the lines, giving advice where she could.


Man... She wished she could get paid to do this. Looking outside at the plaza through the window she saw the streets start to get a little busy.

Lightstone would find that every area in Beastopia had a different menu. Though, some things were everywhere the same.


Sasha had to deal with the fact that Dashing Desert was more rock than sand. It still felt like a desert however.


Alice wouldn't just see it was "a little" busy; the center happened to be a touristic attraction and was almost always crowded.


Mary, by now, was already washing dishes.

Sorry for the late entry. I've been a tad involved with a few things.


Name: Rayleonarde 'Ray' Blackburn
Species: Raccoonis Purpalis (Purple Raccoon)
Dream: To find the Truth
Background: Ray came from a family of reporters, freelance journalists who weren't afraid of what they'd find. Unfortunately this led to secrets that were best left alone, and cost the family everything. Ray fled to Beastopia in search of refuge, and the truth.


(Is this okay?)

Ray stepped forth from the tram, dragging a huge suitcase with him. He held his ID in his teeth, as he figured someone would check to make sure he was a citizen. Ray muttered quiet as he moved his stuff into the apartment building. A few minutes of conversation with the concierge confirmed his fears.
Third floor, last door on the left.
Ray dragged his massive suitcase up the stairs, cursing under his breath. The thudding and clanking echoed across the halls, along with the incessant muttering.

Ray instinctively fished around in his pocket and blanched. "I-I uh....um..." He started patting himself down. "M-My uh...my ID. I...I-I must've misplaced it." Ray looked over his luggage, even though the ID card was laying at his feet.

Ray turned to look at the new speaker, confused. "At my...Oh!" He knelt and grabbed the ID, checked it over, then handed it to Mary. "I-I'm Ray Blackburn. Of uh...the Blackburn family." He scratched the back of his head. "T-The uh...last...of the Blackburn family."

Mary raised an eyebrow. "The last of the Blackburns? How'd that happen?"
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Rayleonarde on October 16, 2017, 01:55:00 PM
Ray seemed to grow distant, his eyes hazed over, as he stared towards nothing. "How that happened....How did that happen?" The raccoon's ears twitched, as a ringing filled his ears. He could see it clearly. An ill-placed candle, a mother's embrace. His tail sweeping side-to-side in happiness. The clatter of brass on wood, the roar of the flame. Then, silence. Ray shook his head as he looked back to Mary, an odd half-smile on hi lips. "Y'know I...I can't quite remember."

Mary nodded in silence. "Doesn't matter. I can understand it's not an easy topic anyway. Something else; do you like the city?"
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Rayleonarde on October 17, 2017, 01:12:56 AM
Ray nodded. "Yeah, the city's okay. It's a little loud, but tolerable. I only just arrived, though." He smiled. "How 'bout you?"

Mary agreed: "Yeah, it takes a while. The noise is a part of the city, especially in its center. I've been here for several weeks already, and I'm pretty much settled in."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Rayleonarde on October 23, 2017, 11:00:39 AM
Ray nodded. "Hopefully...hopefully I can settle too." He had a flash of a thought, not nearly as debilitating as the last, shook his head and headed towards his room.  Ray fumbled with the door a minute, finally got it unlocked and entered quickly. The door slammed shut, and the lock clicked audibly.

Ray moved his bag to the center of the room, popping it open with his foot. He withdrew his clothes and folded them neatly beside the leather case. Only two sets of clothes and a change of underwear. He removed his coat, revealing the simple blue t-shirt he wore, the burn scars up and down his arms, and the medical information bracelet he got from his time in the hospital. Beneath that, however, lay a secret, second bracelet. Though most of the ink had rubbed away, 'psych ward' was clearly printed on the soft blue plastic.

Ray stepped out of his apartment, wearing a simple grey zip-up hoodie. The sleeves were stretched out and nearly covered Ray's paws, as the raccoon had a nasty habit of tugging the cuffs. He glanced about, as if he was being followed, before starting downstairs. He stumbled while heading down the hall, accidentally upsetting a picture frame. Ray scooped up the frame, and struggled to get it back in place, muttering to himself the whole time.
"Clumsy. Always clumsy. Two left paws and all. Did the glass break? No, no it's fine. Back you go, frame. Where's your home then?"

Obviously, the picture didn't answer. However, Ray could see Lightstone coming because of the reflection of the glass. Mary, in the meantime, went to get herself accepted to highschool.

Name: Hunter Karloff
Species: Red Wolf
Initial Dream: To make a name for himself


Background:
Hunter has worked as a lawyer for three years now, but has yet to see any real success in his home city. Mostly this is because he does not have a prestigious family name or education from a well-respected university, which are essential in getting hired by the largest firms. Because of this he has had to work small-time, no-win cases and has been frustrated with the lack of advancement. He is moving to Beastopia because he has heard that anyone can make it in this city, if they work at it hard enough.




Hunter stepped confidently off the tram from the center of Sterling Square to the apartment district. As he stretched his legs, he took a deep sniff of the city air, breathing in all the possibilities for a brighter future that he was sure were around every corner. He tucked his shiny new Beastopia ID badge into his suit jacket and hoisted up the lone briefcase that held all his wordly posessions, and strode towards his new apartment complex.

"I'm finally here!" Hunter exclaimed as he opened the door to the apartment building. He walked down the hall to the new room he was going to live in. The second he was inside, he opened his briefcase and took out his laptop and got to work on the defense for his first case in Beastopia district court.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset

Post by: Hunter568 on November 14, 2017, 05:56:18 AM
After a few hours of sifting through case documents and paperwork and finalizing his opening statements, Hunter laid back on his bed, exhausted. The trip to the city had left him pretty beat, and he figured a nap was in order. Without bothering to change or put his laptop away, he curled up and fell immediately to sleep.

Name: Geoffrey Noah
Species: Bear
Initial dream: To do something good.
Background summary: A creative with finicky motivation, Geoff spent year after boring year as a computer-addicted leech excessively sheltered at his father's house. In a sudden burst of determination, he finally hauled himself to the city to be productive for once in his life.

---

Standing in front of the City Hall, the cinnamon bear stared down at his ID with a grin he constantly failed to neutralize. His eyes traced every detail printed on its face, cautiously certified every letter of information, begrudgingly accepted the portrait that looked just a little off, and finally peered up to the bustling street, only to return to the card once again. The entire preparation for this day kept his heart pumping with happiness and utter shock. Any normal person wouldn't be so shook up, surely, and there was no doubt in his mind that the casual observers noticed and internally mocked his awkward behavior, but he was on a roll with no time to dwell on his own naive foolery. He was terrified, hadn't slept well in however-long, and had no idea what he was doing, yet he had never felt so free in his twenty-three years of life.
He fished out his wallet and gave the card another quick look-through before slipping it into the clear pocket, then giving it yet another look before clapping the wallet shut and stuffing it back in his pocket. He adjusted the bag straps tugging at his shoulders and headed off to his new apartment.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Hunter568 on November 16, 2017, 03:34:08 AM
Feeling well-rested and ready to start the day properly, Hunter awoke from his nap and stretched. He noted with regret that his one nice pair of clothes was now wrinkled and in need of pressing, due to his rash decision to fall asleep without changing. He pulled out of the only three shirts he owned from his briefcase and changed into it, hanging his dress shirt and jacket on a hanger. It looked like the first order of business would be a visit to the dry cleaner's to get rid of these unsightly wrinkles.


With the hanger flung over his right shoulder, Hunter stepped out into the hall and locked his new apartment's door. As he walked down the hall towards the front entrance of the apartment complex, he noticed a cinnamon-pelted bear entering the doors with a barely-concealed grin on his face and an overstuffed bag on his back.


"Hello there!" Hunter called in greeting. "Are you moving in today as well?"
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: The Past on November 16, 2017, 03:49:42 AM
Geoff nodded to his apparent new neighbor. "Yep, sure am, heh," he chuckled, voice wobbling a tad.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Hunter568 on November 16, 2017, 03:53:28 AM
Hunter smiled warmly and extended a friendly handshake.


"Nice to meet you neighbor! Allow me to introduce myself: Hunter Karloff, Esq. at your service!" he declared.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: The Past on November 16, 2017, 04:07:26 AM
Geoff accepted the handshake, though surprised by the enthusiastic greeting. Normally he'd be more intimidated, but his roll wasn't finished just yet.
"Geoffrey Noah," the bear replied, not quite as confidently but smiling just as well.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Hunter568 on November 16, 2017, 04:20:52 AM
Hunter nodded. "Good to meet you, Mr. Noah. I'm afraid I can't stay and talk too long, gotta get to the dry cleaner's." He punctuated that remark by flourishing the clothes he carried with him.  "However, I always make an effort to get to know my neighbors a bit. Just how I was raised. Would you be interested in sharing a pizza for dinner tonight? I've got to check in at the district court downtown and run a few errands after my dry cleaning, so I could pick one up while I'm out." Hunter flashed another friendly grin at Geoffrey.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: lightstone on November 16, 2017, 04:49:50 AM
when Light was walking down the hall to get to work he saw Hunter talking to another furr, a bear! "hey, whos the new guy?" Light said
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: The Past on November 16, 2017, 05:21:08 AM
"Sure, sounds good!" Geoff chirped. He then turned to Light. "Oh hey, I'm Geoffrey. Just moved in." He hesitated for a second or two, recollecting where his place was.
 "Heh, well, you guys have a good day."
He then shuffled off to his apartment.

Once inside, the bear quickly set down his bags and paced about in thought. It was the cheapest apartment they had; small, minor damage, and unfurnished aside from appliances. In truth, he had no job yet, but had enough money saved up to keep the place until he finds one. He wasn't too bothered about the emptiness. Once he was earning and saving, he'll have this place fixed up. His own little home, all to himself, free to do whatever he pleased. The reality of it dazed him. A little worm in his brain was squeaking disapproval, that he jumped in half-cocked and was biting off more than he could chew. He ignored it. No turning back now.

So, he had pizza to look forward to, if he could manage being awake then. Come to think of it, he hadn't eaten much the whole time he was setting all this up. Normally food was always on his mind, but he was so concerned with happenings he barely had an appetite. He certainly did now and could use today's spare time to stock his kitchen, but he was far too exhausted to go back out in public. He opted to pull his blanket from his backpack and curl up to sleep.

Post by: Hunter568 on November 16, 2017, 08:13:32 AM
By the time Hunter finally arrived back at the apartment with pizza and several bags of groceries, the city was drowning in the orange half-light of late evening, and shadows were starting to lengthen into full-blown darkness. He was beat from spending the whole day running around on various errands, yet he still carried a spring in his step. Today he had officially registered himself as a practicing attorney in Beastopia, and his visit to the courthouse left him more excited than ever about starting his new life here. That, and he was hopeful about the prospect of making some good friends over dinner.


Hunter was almost at the steps leading up to the apartment building's entrance when he caught a shadow out of the corner of his eye. Someone or something moving quickly through his peripheral vision, gone when he looked around frantically. Suddenly, Hunter was aware that he was living in more dangerous environment now than he ever had before. Back in his hometown, it wasn't risky to walk home alone at night, but here in the concrete jungle of Beastopia he might be making himself vulnerable to muggings.


Now was not the time to ponder that, however. Hunter sped up his pace considerably, and rocketed inside the apartment complex.


Once inside, he deftly put the prospect of danger out of his mind. After laying out the pizza on a table in his kitchen, he called down the hall for Light and Geoff.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Rayleonarde on November 16, 2017, 02:38:07 PM
Ray made his way outside, but stopped on the sidewalk. To him, the city loomed, pulsed and swayed. He shook his head, and went to speak to the nearest individual. Ray nearly screamed as the faceless, jittery creature reached to touch him, and the raccoon ran back into the complex. He ran up the stairs, scrabbled as he stumbled on the last few, ran into his apartment and slammed the door shut. The picture he had fumbled with before fell to the floor, the glass shattering on impact.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: The Past on November 16, 2017, 04:21:35 PM
Geoff had woken up not long ago, blanket draped over his shoulders as he doodled on his electronic drawing tablet. Upon hearing his name called, he quickly put it in sleep mode and began heading out. He halted just in front of the door as the sudden slamming and shattering glass echoed the halls.

"Jeez," he muttered to himself before cautiously stepping out and walking to Hunter's apartment.

Hunter started in surprise as somebody raced past him frantically, upsetting the picture on the little table in the hallway and causing it to plummet to the floor and shatter into a million pieces.


He managed to process this fact just as the hurried, unkown raccoon bolted inside a room and slammed the door with a bang.


Hunter stepped fully into the hallway, still somewhat dazed, and glanced down at the glass shards that the stranger had left in his wake.


He figured he ought to call maintenance about that. However, he felt more obligated at that moment to check on the neighbor of his that had obviously fled to his room in a panic about something. Hunter cautiously stepped towards the stranger's door and gave a tentative knock.


"Sir? Are you alright in there?" He called.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Rayleonarde on November 18, 2017, 04:34:53 AM
"Go away! You're not real!" Came the fearful and deranged shouts. Ray had placed a his bag against the door, and held a table leg over his head. "You're not real...y-you're not real." Ray swayed gently on his feet, before slowly lowering himself down to the floor and and falling asleep, muttering quietly.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: The Past on November 18, 2017, 05:00:21 AM
Geoff had followed Hunter to Ray's door and stood several feet back. The raccoon's frantic shouting set him on alert, but he gradually relaxed as he quieted. The worry remained, however.

Mary heard all the fuss and went to check. She saw a small group standing in front of Ray's door. She thought about what she'd heard. What was it again? "You're not real", wasn't it? Mary decided to move to Ray's door and gave it a slow, soft knock.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: The Past on November 27, 2017, 11:01:41 AM
Geoff shuffled back from the group and out the building. He still wasn't in the mood to deal with people personally, let alone someone having a freak-out. He may be missing out on pizza, but this was a good time to escape the scene, go grocery shopping, and grab some dinner in the process. He'd have felt bad leeching off a brand new neighbor anyway.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Rayleonarde on November 27, 2017, 11:19:15 AM
Ray came around just as Mary knocked. He stood slowly, cleared his throat and spoke. "Yes? W-Who is it?" He approached the door slowly, silently laying the table leg down on a nearby counter. He peered through the peephole a moment, before undoing the deadbolt. However, the raccoon threw the chain-lock on, before opening the door as far as the chain allowed. A blood-shot eye peered out from Ray's darkened room. "H-Hello neighbors."

"Apologies for disturbing you, neighbor." Hunter said, in a contritional tone. "We thought you might be in some kind of trouble, since we saw you running down the hallway earlier."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Rayleonarde on December 03, 2017, 04:18:56 PM
"I'm not...uh...scared. Or in trouble." The raccoon retreated slightly, staring distantly at the floor. "Just...adjusting. T-To the city, I mean," he chuckled, looking back through the gap. "I'm uh...heh...I'm not crazy."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Hunter568 on December 03, 2017, 04:25:31 PM
"Well hey, I can sure sympathize with that!" Hunter smiled in agreement. "I'm not from the city either, and its definitely a new environment. I really had a difficult time just getting home from my grocery run earlier." Hunter beamed at the rest of his companions and began to try to heard them back down the hallway, judging that Ray probably needed some space. "Alright, we ought to head back to our rooms and let him get some rest." He declared. "Have a good night, sir!" He tossed back over his shoulder at Ray.

"Oh its no big deal. The man obviously wants some privacy from us prying neighbors." Hunter said, still keeping a cheerful demeanor despite the decidedly strange night he was having. "By the way, did you want to come over to my apartment for pizza now? It looks like Geoff slipped put during the commotion. I'm betting he probably needs some space too. We might as well go ahead and eat without him."

"I don't have any way of calling him. I just met him, so I wouldn't know his cell number." Hunter frowned.

"Besides, I'm pretty sure he left so quietly because he didn't want anyone to notice him leaving or call him back. If I'm wrong and he comes back, we'll still have some pizza left over for him." Hunter reassured Light.

Post by: Hunter568 on December 05, 2017, 01:47:53 PM
Hunter set out some paper plates that he had picked up at the grocery store and dished out pizza for both himself and Light. Then he dug in with fervor, hungry from spending most of the day running errands and not having eaten since yesterday evening.


After taking a few ravenous bites, Hunter settled back in his chair and struck up a conversation with Light. "So, Light, why exactly did you move to Beastopia? I never got the chance to ask you."

"Uh...o-okay," Hunter stuttered uncomfortably. He quickly regained his composure "So, what kind of work are you pursuing here? As an attorney, I'm currently working as a public defender to pay the bills, but I'm hoping to find some private clients or firms to work for. What are you interested in right now?"


As he was talking, Hunter reached over to the pizza box and grabbed a new slice, then casually resettled himself in his chair, trying to put Light's previous cryptic response out of his mind.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: lightstone on December 07, 2017, 05:30:01 AM
Light got a slice of pizza "im looking in the coding derection"
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Hunter568 on December 07, 2017, 05:47:09 AM
"Oh yeah?" Hunter's ears perked up in sudden heightened interest. "I dabbled in programming back in highschool. What kind of coding jobs are you looking into? Game design, cyber security, software engineering, etc?"


Hunter wondered if he might be able to enlist Light's help in the future. If he was skilled in the right areas, Hunter might be interested in hiring him to write sime algorithms to help with searching through case file data. He'd known some programmers back in his hometown that helped him with that kind of thing.


That was, provided that Hunter caught a client who gave him enough of a budget to pay for coding work. He certainly wasn't getting enough from his public defender salary to go around hiring people to work with him yet.

After Ray had closed the door and retreated to his room, he attempted to get the room in order.


A doctor-like individual ascended to Ray's apartment floor, he began knocking gently on any door nearby, always asking "Is there a Mr. Blackburn here? I'm looking for Ray Blackburn."




Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Hunter568 on December 07, 2017, 02:49:15 PM
Hunter and Light were interrupted in the middle of their conversation by a loud rapping at the door. Hunter looked up, suddenly hopeful that Geoff had had a change of heart and would join them for dinner after all.


"I'll get it," he told Light as he rose from the table.


Opening the door revealed not Geoff, but a stranger dressed in a doctor's uniform. "Is there a Mr. Blackburn here?" The stranger inquired. "I'm looking for Ray Blackburn."


"Uh.." Hunter stumbled, not sure how to reply. "Well I do know that the raccoon living down the hall is named Ray. I never learned his last name. Who are you, exactly?" He asked.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Rayleonarde on December 07, 2017, 04:22:03 PM
The vulpine doctor nodded. "I'm Doctor Alexander Dresdo. I've worked with the Blackburn's for years now, and I'm here to deliver Ray's medicine. He's uh..." Dresdo's voice dropped to a whisper. "He's been fractured ever since the fire. He needs his medicine to help see the world as it is."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Hunter568 on December 07, 2017, 07:08:12 PM
"Ah, I see." Hunter nodded in understanding. "That explains some things. He had what I think you'd call a psychotic episode earlier. We thought he was being chased or something at first, but he just locked himself in his room and started yelling something about us being 'fake' when we came knocking. He seems fine now, though."


Hunter extended his hand. "By the way, my name's Hunter, Hunter Karloff. Good to meet you, Doctor. And good luck with Ray. He lives at the very end of the hall, down that way." Hunter jerked his head to indicate the direction of Ray's room.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Rayleonarde on December 08, 2017, 01:59:05 AM
The doctor nodded. "Thanks. And I apologize for his actions, but his remaining family wanted Ray to live a relatively normal life." He then walked to Ray's door, knocked gently and whispered something. Ray opened the door, just as he did before, took the paper bag Dresdo held, and retreated as the doctor left.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Hunter568 on December 08, 2017, 02:21:50 AM
Hunter stepped back into his room and sat down next to Light again.


"That was Ray's family doctor. Apparently he has some kind of mental condition caused by a fire he was in," Hunter explained. "I think thats why he had that breakdown earlier."

Mary stood around for a while after all the fuss ended. She tried to wrap he head around it while a doctor came down the hallway and passed a paper bag down Ray's door. She tapped his shoulder and asked: "Hello, mr. I'm one of Ray's neighbours, Mary Love. Can you explain what's with him?"
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Rayleonarde on December 08, 2017, 09:20:13 AM
Alexander nodded. "Without going into too much detail, Ray suffers from schizoid tendency and anti-social personality brought on by the loss of his family. His outburst probably came from his sudden lack of medicine. I don't know if it was stolen or lost, but he'll be fine now. At least while his mess last." He tilted his head, a paw on his chin. "I wonder...if you would, try and talk to Ray, perhaps his antisocial behavior stems from his lengthy hospital stay. I mean, not right now, his meds will make him loopy."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on December 09, 2017, 09:55:52 AM
Mary raised an eyebrow as she let it sink in. "I never expected that. Judging by what you say, I think the losing of his family was... not natural, if you know what I mean."

"Well, I'll let you know if I have an offer. I probably won't until i get a more complicated case than my current one. Its a pretty open-and-shut assault," Hunter said with an audible sigh. "I know it makes sense to give the impossible cases to your district's rookies, but jeez. I always seem to get stuck with the hardest stuff." Hunter's normally positive disposition wilted a little. "It wears on you after a while, you know? And back in my hometown, I had no hope of getting out of that situation since your career hinged on your last name, for the most part. That's why I came here, anyway," he said, brightening up again. "The concrete jungle of Beastopia. A land of possibility, I hope. I'm still a nobody here, but I'm gonna change that."

Alexander flailed as Mary mentioned the fire, and it's nature. "Shh shh!" His voice dropped to a whisper. "Ray accidentally knocked over a candle just hours after the floors had been treated with a very flammable chemical. So the detectives said. I believe that the Blackburn family had made unsavory friends outside the city." He stopped a moment, before shaking his head. "I-I've said to much. I'm sorry, I have to go."

Hunter was confused by Light's cryptic answers, but figured that he shouldn't push the matter any further. They were both done eating at that point anyway, so it was as good a place as any to end the conversation.


"Well, Light, thanks for having dinner and talking with me," he said. "However, its been a strange night and I've got to finish up some work and get bed. You better be heading on back."

Geoff had returned home with his groceries the night he sneaked off, and hadn't bothered to leave since. On this current day, he lay sprawled with his electronic drawing tablet on the floor of his empty living room, scrolling through a forum with a swipe of his finger. The thought of his lack of job nagged at him, but he didn't feel ready to search just yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Ray nodded with a good natured shrug. "Doc 'Xander spoke to ya, huh?" He chuckled as he walked to what functioned as a living room. "He's pretty alright. Stuck around after my dad's operation." Sipping his water a moment, Ray stopped himself. "Manners. Uh, would you like a drink? I mean, I've only what's in the taps."

Sighing loudly, Ray went to fetch Mary's drink. "That's uh...that's right. I-It's not really something I like to ah...talk about." He began to fill the glass and gasped quietly when the water, for a brief moment, turned brackish. The sound of water filling the glass turned to whispers, thing's like 'all your fault' and 'you killed them' echoed around Ray's head, before the loud crackling of glass shattering snapped him from his episode. "O-Oh! Whoops...c-clumsy me." Quickly cleaning the shards away, Ray grabbed another glass and filled it quickly. As he returned to the living room, Mary could easily see Ray had given himself a rather nasty cut on the palm of his paw, the blood smearing on the outside of his glass. The one he offered to Mary was very much untouched.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on January 14, 2018, 05:14:58 PM

Ray blinked again, and followed Mary's gaze to his own paw. "O-Oh. I uh," he sighed as he nervously brushed his hair from his eyes, "I'm a little more clumsy than I thought. I'll take care of this." Standing hurriedly, Ray moved quickly to the bathroom. The crimson stain on his glass caused the water to appear a vile pink.

Character Introduction

Full name: Leo Wintermane

Species: Human (Raised by a Lion Family, thus the Surname "Wintermane".  Adopted at the age of eight, after being found near their front porch, in the middle of a storm.)

Initial dream: To find a place to fit in.  Perhaps make new friends, raise a family, and just enjoy life at its fullest, and break out of his shell.

Background summary: Leo was never really one to fit in with society.  Being the only human in his old hometown, he was often the target for bullies while growing up.  Despite this, however, his younger brother, Edward, always had his back.

While all of the local stores couldn't hire him due to his unusual circumstances, he became a donor at an early age to the BDSR (Beastopian Department of Scientific Research), and as such, received a pretty nice amount of Gheo.  Not millionaire standards, by any means, but definitely enough to help him get started in life.

At least once a month, he would donate a pint of blood to them for research on his unusual species, and they would in turn donate roughly about 700 Gheo.  While it may seem like a lot to most, the fact that it's a monthly thing puts a pretty heavy strain on his finances.  As such, he had to wait a few years after he turned 18 before he felt comfortable enough to move to Beastopia, where the BDSR rests.  Maybe there, he could hope to find a job, or at the very least, help out around the place, doing odd jobs here and there.

While he's been trained by his parents and older sister in self-defense, relying on pressure points to pin a potential attacker down, he never truly needed to use such skills, and would rather play on his computer, a simple, yet sturdy laptop.  He spent a bunch of his school time learning more about computers, from software programming to coding and (occasionally) hacking, though again, he never exercised those skills, nor did he have any need to do so.

Fast forward to today, and here he stands, 24 years old, right hand carrying his briefcase and his left hand firmly gripping the rail as the tram creaks, before coming to a slow, and steady stop.

As he steps out of the tram, and into the ID Station, he takes a deep breath... his first breath into this new city.

"Where luck is found..." he silently recalls to himself, quoting from a billboard to the massive walled city he saw right outside the entrance earlier.  Relaxing on the chair in the waiting room, he gently sets the briefcase on the ground before him and folds his legs together, while giving the occasional stares a nervous smile and nod, followed by a wave of the hand.

"Next!" he hears the receptionist call out.  "Number 1,243!"

Looking down at the ticket in his hand, it reads "1,423".  Letting out a sigh, he slips his phone out of his pocket and begins going through the text messages he received from his family.  He would smirk as his brother once more found his "True Love".

It reminds him of the time Edward decided to come out of the closet.  His parents were shocked at first, but over time, they came to accept it.  As for Leo, he told him that, while he'll ALWAYS be straight, he doesn't mind that his little brother is gay, as long as he doesn't drag him to that club he always visited, or cause too much racket if he ever brought a boyfriend home.




"Next!  Number 1,423!" the Receptionist eventually calls out.

He smiles and nods his head before picking his small briefcase up and standing from the seat in the waiting room.

When the receptionist sees him, they look at him confusedly, before shrugging their shoulders and passing him an ID.

As he thanks the receptionist, he looks at it, and frowns slightly at the word "Primate" in his Species Label.  However, seeing that they likely don't have a "Human" tag, he decides to just go with it, while mentally telling himself that he may very well just be an "ugly monkey", or something.

Finally, with all said and done, he makes his way through the quaint streets of Sterling Square, on his way towards the Apartment Complex, where hopefully, he can find a room available for rent.



(( I hope this is okay, and meets your standards!  I've... never actually done a Forum-Based RP before... mostly just RP in Video Games, actually.  ^_^ ))

Post by: Ara Av-Toa on January 24, 2018, 03:47:15 PM
Leo had the full right to be looked at in a weird way. Humans were commonly never encountered in Beastopia or Gaia in the first place. Where he came from, nobody knew. How he got there, a mystery. Fact is, he was there and he was an official resident. The apartments he stood for was known for being cheap yet comfortable- a massive magnet for fortune seekers. Not for nothing it was called the "Fortune's Residence". There were rooms still available on the 9th floor.


In the while, Mary was kind of in a predicament. Should she help Lightstone or not? She began thinking out loud: "Well, he was trying to run from them, after all. So it's totally possible. Mind if I have a look?" Without awaiting Ray's response she peered in the hallway and saw two figures, looking somewhat similar to Lightstone. Then, she sighed and told Ray: "Yep. It's his parents."

Post by: Justin93Daniels on January 24, 2018, 07:30:30 PM
Leo accepts the key to his apartment room with an appreciative nod, before making his way to the elevator.  Once inside, he visibly relaxes at the sound of the Elevator Music.  Though the speakers sound quite aged, and emit a bit of static, he seems to be quite accustomed to such simple technology... almost nostalgically so.


(https://pre00.deviantart.net/a41c/th/pre/f/2010/276/7/8/anime_style_house_2_by_deannart-d301nzd.jpg)
"Fortune's Residence" - Floor 9


As soon as the bell rings, and the doors open, he enters the hallway on the 9th floor.  Upon stepping outside the elevator, he gives the hallway on the 9th floor an inquisitive glance.  Just what is it that he sees before him?  From the looks of it, he could see a sheep and a pair of foxes.  However, he could hear the voice of another figure, male from the looks of it, behind the wall where the sheep peers her head.  He guesses that he could hear a male inside the door with the two foxes, but the words are muffled.  He thinks he sees a few other tags on some of the doors surrounding the area, with names written on them, but he doesn't pay it much mind.

Whatever the situation may be, he decides it's best not to stick his nose into another person's business while he has so much to do anyways.  He walks towards the room with the number on his key.  Whatever the foxes are yelling about, he isn't quite sure, having just entered mid-conversation.  However, their tone does make his eyes shift wearily towards them in suspicion that they aren't here on friendly terms.

"Someone should probably call security here..." he thinks to himself, as one hand makes its way to his left pocket, while the other moves the key towards the door handle.

He is about to enter his room, unless stopped by one of the neighbors.

Immediately, time seems to freeze for the human.  A hidden instinct within him, "Fight or Flight", soon takes over as he hears the scampering of the foxes, forcing his heart rate to spike, if only slightly.

At once, the case flips open, and from within it, he draws a Civilian-Grade Taser - a gift from his parents, and perhaps one of the ONLY weapons legally allowed to be used in the public, when out of self-defense.  Despite being Civilian-Grade, however, it holds enough strength to stun a bear, and have them pinned to the ground in mere seconds.

Flipping the metal device on, he turns around and intercepts the fox's path.  With the taser crackling to life, the sparking metal pins quickly face its target, and is set for a direct collision course!

The human, having seemingly stunned the female fox successfully, rushes to the wall, or more specifically, towards the Breaker Box.  From below it, a red button with Caution Tape surrounding it can be seen, with the word "Security Alarm" written below it.

Hovering his hand over it, he turns to face the fox dragging the resident, and shouts, "POLICE, FREEZE!"

The human smirks, before saying, "Oh, I'm not talking about me.  I'm talking about them!"

He then presses the button, causing the metal security fences to shut in front of the windows and doors, sealing them all inside!

The bells begin to loudly ring, and the building's been sent into lockdown.  The police have, furthermore, been notified, and are now on their way to investigate!

Still holding the taser firmly, the human once again points it towards the aggressive Fox approaching him.  The metal prongs spark to life, as it once again is set on a collision course to stun its next target!

Mary quickly closed the door of Ray's apartment, not planning on letting Lightstone's parents in. She said, slightly frightened: "This is trouble, man. Lightstone's parents are in front of his door dealing with a... Yeah, what? I dunno. Looks like a weird monkey or something. But that guy got a taser. And those parents seem to be looking at me as potential dinner! Now I understand why he wanted to run from them..."


Of course, this situation raised commotion among other residents too. On the moment that the human pressed the alarm the police had already been notified. In minutes, local authorities came into the hall, yelling: "Police! Freeze, all of you! What's going on here?" There were three officers coming in the corridor: a lioness, a gorilla and, strangely, a duck.

The human motions towards the two foxes, replying, "Attempted abduction, officers.  They were about to kidnap the tenant in that room against his will, while the other one attempted to attack the sheep in that room there."  He then points to, perhaps the only closed door besides his own at this point.

"And you may as well add in attempted assault, because of that.  You can ask her for verification, as well as the others that might've witnessed it... and then you can check the Surveillance Footage, also."

Light looked around scared before going to his room and closing it

Ray shrugged. “It’s apparent that Lightstone’s parents have an issue with their son. In my experience, I would not interfere with familial affairs.” He smiled and winked. “‘Sides. If they were to attempt to attack you in my home, they would have to deal with me.”

Post by: Justin93Daniels on February 02, 2018, 06:04:19 AM
Leo grins at the foxes, before turning the tazer off.  "Actually, officers, I may have evidence that speaks of these parents' ill intent on me, if you'd like to see it?"

He slowly draws a phone out of his shirt pocket, and turns the screen around, revealing the red word on the top-right corner... notably, the word "REC" on it... he was filming the incident the whole time!

He then stops the recording, and plays the footage, with the volume high enough for the police to hear, and the parent foxes appearing on the screen, clearly speaking.

"Hey!  Sheep and weird monkey!  Stop right there! Do you guys know my son?!  Is he just going about, befriending a sheep and not hunting on 'em?! This is the final straw!"

It then reveals the mother rushing towards the sheep, before getting caught from Leo's taser.

The rest of the events soon transpire on the screen, before Leo finally slips his phone back into his pocket.

"Well, officers?  Would you really want to let those kinds of individuals wander around the streets, with clear, concrete proof of attempted murder towards the sheep over there?" he asks, still standing in place out of respect for the officers' demands.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on February 04, 2018, 05:27:42 PM
One officer in question watched the tape in silence, then asked Lightstone: "If what this footage says is correct, all we need is one piece of evidence. Your ID, please." Another turned to Leo: "You got a licence for that taser? If so, you must show it along your ID."


Mary answered: "Yeah, makes sense. I'm not much good at self-defence, I'm afraid, but if you are... They might find me a difficult target if you shield me."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Justin93Daniels on February 04, 2018, 07:02:18 PM
The human nods his head to the officer, before handing them his wallet.  From inside, two forms of ID can be found - one being his ID given to him back at the station, and another granting him permission to carry and use Civilian-Grade Weaponry - such as Tasers and Common Firearms.

His Identification reads "Leo Wintermane", his age would be "24", born October 15'th, and his species, though difficult to identify via picture, would classify as "Primate", while notes below it would identify him as being "Adopted" and the species clarified as a "Close Approximate"... a rare, but seen case before from a few "Exotic" mammals, such as rabbits that resembled mice, and vise-versa.

His picture on both IDs would match up accordingly, and if run by a scanner, be counted as "Legal", and "Untampered With".

"Right here, Officer.  Though I do have legal rights to bear a firearm as well, I only have a taser as a means of self-defense, and no intent on killing.  Furthermore, I hold no prejudice against Predators or Prey, as my parents were both lions who resorted to only consuming Wild Fish.  My father was even friends with a rabbit, who went to school with him while they were both children.

"As such, the use of the taser was out of defense of both myself, and the sheep, and not out of prejudice, should they attempt to say otherwise.

"On my phone's footage, you can see that my hand was on the key first, because my original plan was to head inside my room to unpack, and then get a good idea on what all I need to go shopping for, once I've found a job somewhere.  The conflict then resorted to me acting out of defense, while also avoiding lethal force, and going instead for a simple stun, until you got here.

"In my bag over by the door, is nothing more than a laptop, a folded cloth, a pillow, and two chargers - one for the laptop, and the other for the taser.  If you look at the taser, itself, you'll see that it is of Civilian Quality, and wasn't tampered with illegally, so there is no way I would've threatened anyone's lives.  If anything, the voltage inside it might not even be able to kill a rabbit, let alone a fox!

"If anything, it would stun and lead to discomfort for, perhaps, a few minutes at best... the rest, of course, is for you all to decide... eyewitnesses can even verify these foxes' hostility, if you'd like further proof."

With that, he folds his arms, calmly and patiently waiting an answer.

Post by: Ara Av-Toa on February 07, 2018, 06:02:32 PM
The officer checked Leo's ID and inspected his arms- and took the conclusion: "You are correct. We have no right to arrest you for anything." The other officer glanced at Lightstone's ID and especially Light's birthday (I assume he's old enough here) and sighed, before telling the parents: "Sir, Madam, we believe you were the attacking force in this specific case. But, unfortunately for you, your son is considered mature and thus no longer under your responsibility. Which means he is not obliged to follow you and make choices independently. You have no right to force him to come with you and additionally the citizen with the taser acted out of selfdefence, leaving you to blame." After saying this they freed Light, cuffed the two, and said: "You are under arrest for harrasment and unnecessary violence. You do not have to say or do anything, but whatever you do say or do may be used as evidence against you. Is that clear?"


Mary heard the talking in the hallway and said: "Well, I suppose. But it sounds like the police got things under control, so we have no reason to interfere."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Justin93Daniels on February 07, 2018, 06:27:52 PM
Leo accepts his belongings with a polite bow, and a slight smile.

"Just doing my duty as a Good Citizen, Officers... in addition to that, I thank you for your timely arrival.  Had you not shown up and reacted as quickly as you did, the perpetrators would likely have been able to shake off the paralysis and turn their attention to me... that, or they would've done worse to the sheep.

"In any case, do take care, Officers.  And good luck on your next cases.

"As a Transfer Student about to be in Law School, I can only imagine the nightmares' worth of Paperwork that awaits from all this... from a case of The Self-Defense of an oddly-shaped Primate, stacked with The Attempted Assault of a Sheep from a Pair of Foxes, and The Near-Abduction Against the Will of Their Legally-Aged Son... and Sunday Night is just around the corner, as well, so there's the Endless DUI's on the way, as well as The Drug Trafficking that follows with the Saturday Crowds, who aren't fully recovered from their former Friday Nights' partying... and the cycle only continues from there... not counting the Random Acts of Civil Disobedience in-between.  Total chaos both inside and out of the Office, correct?"

(Wilco: Of course! Anyone is welcome.)


The officer raised an eyebrow. "Hoho! Someone here studies law. Well, let me say it as follows: it's a nightmare to keep control over a city this size sometimes. But anyway, we're just doing our duty. Be safe, mister." He tapped his hat and walked away along with the other two, that were taking the parents along.
Light's parents got the response: "It is because he is mature that you can't control him. He has the right to go wherever he pleases within the law, even without telling you. And about that sheep you wanted to hunt... Beastopian regional laws state that hunting is illegal on city grounds. So if you did, you'd only be in more trouble than you are now."


Mary answered: "You may if you want. But I don't need to- I'm sure the police will teach them their lesson."

Full name: Wilco Whiteheart
Species: Wolf
Age: 25
Initial dream: MX Racer and weapons specialist
Background summary: Wilco is an ex-military soldier and as so, holds the license to have any weapon. He used his knowledge from the military to help people with weapon difficulties. He took up his dream as a MX Racer and is on the rise. He has no one else with him... Just his sister.



Full name: Willa Whiteheart
Species: Human x Wolf
Age: 17Initial dream: following in her brother's footsteps
Background summary: Willa is the adopted sister of Wilco and so sticks to him like glue. She looks up to him like a hero and he looks after her. They both came to Beastopia to start again with new lives. Hopefully this'll work out...


*The bus pulls away and two grey wolves are left standing on the pathway, the smaller one having more human like features.* ''So... This is Beastopia, not too shabby...'' *Wilco says as he hefts his bags, a few making metal sounds. The younger one looks to him and does the same* 'Yeah... at least it's good...' *Willa replied as they got going. They carry their ID's and enter the apartment block, seeing the police escort some foxes out* ' 'geez... looks like something happened...' ' *They see a few people and walk over to them*

Seeing that the fox was, indeed, addressing him, Leo smiles and nods his head in greeting.

"Light, huh?  Nice to meet you... name's Leo.  Don't worry, I ain't gonna even bother you with asking what that was all about... all water under the bridge, now.  Just lemme know if someone tries something like that again, and I'll buzz the fuzz back in for ya."  He chuckles slightly, before extending a hand out, offering a handshake... (pawshake?)

He also looks to the side, and notices the other human headed his way.  Though confusion sinks in at why there's another human nearby, due to their rarity, he decides not to question it, and respectfully nods his head her way in response to her greeting.

"And hello to you as well, Miss... sorry, but can you give us a moment, please?" he would ask her, motioning towards Light, as if silently letting her know that they were both in the middle of something at the moment.

"Does that imply a scented candle? Not that it matters much, of course." She looked puzzled, then sighed. "Listen. I realise all too well that it gave you a trauma. Point is, accidents happen and some accidents go out of control. Neither of us can change that. And I know all too well that I may not be able to take your fear or despair away. But, if you don't mind... I can pray for you. Because I know God can do that. I don't know if He will, but He can!"


The police went up to the hallway and noticed Lightstone. "Hey, mr. Lightstone. We wanted to ask you some questions. Your parents aren't exactly co-operating, so it'd be helpful if you shed some light on the case. What reason in particular caused you to run from home?"

Then she looked at Ray and sighed. "Well... I'm afraid I might not be able to do more." She raised from her seat and said: "I'll go back to my own apartment now, if that's ok."

The police officers were somewhat surprised about that story. "A troublesome relationship with your parents, as I hear. Well, you're not the only one to run for that.

Mary shrugged. "No problem." She left and saw Lightstone in the hall with a police officer. She frowned. The officer took another look at the card. First casually, but soon he squinted at it. He took out a pocket magnifying glass and started inspecting it. Mary stood there watching it happen. Finally, the officer concluded: "Hm... Mr. Lightstone... I'm afraid I'll have to arrest you for carrying a fake ID. Hands behind your back, please." Mary couldn't believe her ears. Though, she knew it wouldn't be a good idea to interrupt.

Leo would look towards the sheep, and lightly nod his head in greeting.  However, he would then look back towards the officers and the fox, who was apparently being accused of carrying a fake ID.

"Fake ID, huh?  Well, I guess given his situation, he would've had no other choice, considering his parents would've tracked him sooner, otherwise... odds are, the Police might at least count it as a simple misdemeanor, then, and give him a fine instead of actual jail time... if they aren't in a bad mood, that is." he would think to himself, rubbing his chin in thought.

( Wilco, I think Willa needs more detail to what the hell she's doing... just saying.  Can't read minds, dude... from the looks of it, it almost seemed like she started to randomly flirt with him, or gave the implications that she was planning to, then suddenly takes a 180 and becomes an "Emotional Wreck" while talking about some dark cliched backstory that about 95% of Gary Stus/Mary Sues have prior to them becoming godly "Main Protagonists" in a story... like, how SHOULD I respond, when
A: Something's going on between Lightstone and the Police right in front of them, and
B: They LITERALLY just met, and would realistically treat the situation as such, with them not pouring their hearts out after just meeting each other, what, 2 minutes ago?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against getting characters to know each other, but if you want someone to reply to your actions in a certain way, it would be a LOT more beneficial to elaborate on what it is your character's doing... and it would be even MORE beneficial if you read up on the situation at hand, and have your character act as realistically as they would in the given situation.  There's a time and place, y'know... >_> <_< )

Leo would notice Willa covering her face with her tail, but pay it little mind, as he tries to focus on what's going on between Lightstone and the Police.  However, he at least replies with an understanding nod.

"Grew up in a Lion's Den.  It can be tough sticking out like a sore thumb, but hey, at least the Human in us makes us quite resilient and capable of adapting... at least compared to most of the others out here."

(Ok... *sighs* Here goes...


So basically, Willa was embarrassed because of her tail touching Leo. Then she remembered what it was like during childhood and then cries. That's basically it. Hope that clears it up a bit...


As for the other things, Willa hasn't had the most fantastic experience with police and that's her standard reaction to them now.
And with the just meeting bit, I guess seeing and being able to talk to another human overwhelmed her.

That's basically it. Hope that clears it up a bit.)

The police took Lightstone along to the station and set him up against his parents. There, they explained the situation: "Madam, mister. It seems we hit a critical junction. As for you..." The officer glanced to Light. "I must say that your son, in fact, came here with a fake ID. This means that the provided information on it may all be false. Tell us, how old is 'Lightstone' actually and what is his real name?"


Mary saw Liightstone being taken away, and then noticed the fox couple. She asked: "Hey, did you hear all that?"

The officer peered over the paper. He clacked his tongue. "Well then... Lightstone, I want to know where you got that ID! Because according to that, you're 18. But if you're 16, you don't have the right to move around Ythreïman on your own. As a result, your parents had, in fact, all the right to come and take you. This means you have to go back with them... Unless, of course, your parents are willing to file a form that allows you to operate individually or with a volunteer foster family."

The police officer scratched his head. "Well, that is a point. We'll need a search warrant, though. Perhaps we have to bring this matter to court. I'll speak about it with the Commision of Law. Even then, we can't ignore you, Light, despite you're underage. But, you still haven't told me where you got your ID yet... There's NO WAY we can let that go unpunished."

The officer stroked his chin. "A faker, huh? If you give us his address, we can get him to justice and we can seriously consider relieving your punishment. A win-win. For now... Hmm. We have no choice but turn this into a court case. We'll let you wait here for a few days until the case." He brought all three into cells before walking off to phone.

Leo sat down in his room, with his phone up to his ear.

"Yes, sir... I have completed Law School.  Yes, sir, I can begin as soon as you need me to."

...

"Oh?  There's someone who has a case in just a couple of days, you said?"

...

"Hmm... would it be alright if I had a talk with this person before agreeing to defend him?"

...

"Yes, sir... then I'll be there as soon as I can.  Thank you."

...

"So, I'm already in the System?  That's great!  So when can I get my Attorney Badge from your office?"

...

"If I do well enough in this case?  I... well, I guess I can't argue with that."

...

"Alright, then... thanks again, sir!  And don't worry, I won't let you down, sir!"

Upon hanging up his phone, he relaxed on his couch and sighed, before smiling to himself.

"Alright, then... looks like I've got a job!  Now to get ready for my first official Court Case here!"

He looked into the mirror and grinned.  "My name is Leo Wintermane... and I will become the best Defense Attorney this city has to offer!"

...

His stomach began to grumble, causing him to deadpan at his reflection.

"... Riiiiiight after I grab a quick bite to eat..."

And with that, he left his room, back into the hallway, ready to search for any nearby restaurants that served, preferrably, seafood.

Leo could not know he was summoned to defend Lightstone in the upcoming court trial. He'd be surprised, so much was clear.


(Ythreïman's army is mainly naval, air is strong but not as important, ground has least power and material)
A truck drove to Willa and Wilco. It bore Ythreïman's naval symbol. It stopped in front of the building, apparantely expecting someone.


Mary had trouble focussing on her study. Her mind kept wandering to Ray and Lightstone. She hoped they were OK.

Ray, who had fallen asleep, awoke to an eerie sight. The apartment had flipped upside down and the door, along with the furniture, had melted into some bizarre shape. Ray shook his head and attempted to navigate the apartment, clattering and clanking along the way. He reached the kitchen and tried to find his medicine, causing glassware to rain down around him. Eventually, despite the whole upside-down room, Ray was able to take his pill. He closed his eyes and waited for the room to return to normal.

"You might wonder why we bring you here. The sole reason for that is that the military has a small portion of the sea in town for practice. Perfect as there are no real enemies. They have their HQ in the harbour, but their training facilities stand here. I hope you're fit, because it's not for the light-hearted. It's also used as the training post for local police, so you'll encounter them as well. Beastopia is so huge they decided that every biome is a police district on its own, if you were wondering. Anyway, we're here." He stopped the truck in front of a large, white building. The sign "Soothing Sea - Training Post" was near its entrance.

It's taken a good few hours for Leo to prepare himself for the assessment of his Client, but after a bit of gussying up and cleaning himself off, he felt ready to take on the world!

"Alright, Leo... you've got this!  Heh... it's not like your whole future is in this case, right?"

...

"Oh, who am I kidding?!  I just got here, and already I'm taking on a case!  How can I not be nervous?!  I don't even have the name of my Client!  For all I know, it's somebody that I haven't even met, yet!"

His internal conversation with himself began to make just the slightest amount of sweat to form in his brow.  He was, without a doubt, nervous... even if his stoic expression stated otherwise.

"Excuse me, are you Leo, the Defense Attorney?" the Bailiff asked.

Leo stood up from his seat and nodded his head.  "Yes, sir.  I take it the Client is ready?"

The Bailiff shook his head.  "I believe he's still being questioned at the moment... however, you can go on ahead and wait in the Meeting Room.  He'll be out shortly."

With a polite bow, Leo replied, "Thank you, Sir... umm... please, lead the way."

"Of course... but for the record, I'd be careful about this guy, if I were you."

"Hmm?  How come?"

"He... already is being charged for having a fake ID, so you'd be defending someone who's at least got a Guilty Verdict on his neck... and frankly, the idea's being passed around that he might be going back home with his parents, should they pay a fine."

"... Hmm..." Leo scratched his chin, lost in thought.

"Fake ID?  He can't mean... eh, probably not.  Odds are, this kind of thing happens quite often... what are the chances that they'd book me to defend Lightstone?"
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on April 05, 2018, 05:41:24 PM
The court sent Leo a detailed explanation on the case at the office as preparation. The seating itself would be tomorrow- first, he would have time to interrogate Lightstone, his parents and the police beforehand to get an idea of the case if he needed to.

The paper said the following:
To attorney Whiteheart,

Because Lightstone has no attorney for himself, you were called in. The case goes between him and his parents.
The facts are that the defendant has travelled to Beastopia carrying a fake ID around. However, according to his story he tried to flee from a difficult home situation. It is by all means clear that the defendant will be punished for the fake ID. You can either way try to prevent him from going back to his parental home. Should you wish to have contact with any individual involved in this case, come to the police office on working hours. You are allowed to interrogate them. Neither the defendant or the parents are in possession of a crime record. It is known that the parents are involved in hunting activity, but they did so on legal territory until today. We trust your education and hope to grant you practical experiance along the way.

District: Sterling Square, Beastopia

"Huh... well, then!  Guess some miracles do come true after all!"

"It says here they don't have a Criminal Record, except for just recently... likely the incident involving the attempted assault.  I'll probably have to ask that Sheep about what just happened... odds are, we'll need a Witness, after all."

"I should also ask the Police to bring in a recording from the Surveillance Cameras in the Hallway... wait, did the Apartment even... yeah, I think they did catch it on camera, as well, so that should secure the Assault Charges on the Parents."

"As for the Fake ID... well, I can't really say he's innocent for having it, so he'll definitely have to face the music.  However, that doesn't mean I can't lessen the blow... perhaps have him spend some time in Juvie, or sentence him to Probation around the Apartment Area... would be a lot more easier than going to actual Jail for a few years, at least."

"Now, comes the kicker... who could his Caretakers be?  Technically he'd only need one responsible adult, but I doubt if... hmm... I wonder if that Sheep would mind him staying with her?"

Leo looks up from his papers, after hearing the door on the other side of the window open up.

Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on April 08, 2018, 02:24:07 PM
The judge looked at all the parties coming in. On the moment Mary saw that Lightstone would be trialled, she rushed to see the conviction.
On one side were Lightstone's parents with their lawyer, and on the other side was Lightstone with Leo as attorney. The police was in the middle. The lawyer pointed to the parents and exclaimed: "Mr. and mrs. Stone, it is known to us that you have had some issues with your son, Light, standing here as defendant. Please testify on the family relationship."
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset

The judge raised an eyebrow. "If you're asking me, no child would 'suddenly' flee." He took a bundle of papers and pressed down on them with his fingertips. "According to these police reports given to me, you have been heard stating that before your arrest, he did not eat a sheep, unlike your expectations. Now, it is known that you are part of a hunting family, situated on legal territory. This hunting, though, would make both the core and the cause of the conflict, as is stated in the reports. Give me your story on this, because I have the feeling you are holding something back." His look pierced the parents' eyes as he said this last sentence.

The judge shook his head. "Hmm. As I understand it, everyone fends for themselves. That could be a great point to argue about, if you ask me. However, it is now time for the defendant to give his side of the story. Defendant, please give us your testimony."

(Sorry, Wilco. I did not realise you were waiting for a reaction from me.)
The trainer closes an eye. "Tensed, sonny? Yer' right to be that... But we'll see whether you are enuff of a man. As for madame... we don't see many women 'round. So don't go gawking at the boys just 'cos they gawk at ye, ok? Now, here's yer schedule: every morn', yer here at 6. We'll count heads and have breakfast. Training starts at 7 and ends at 12.

"The Defense can confirm that my Client did, and still slightly does, in fact, show signs of Malnutrition, according to the Health Records submitted to us by the Medical Team." Leo says, offering the Medical Papers to the Judge.

The judge narrowed his eyes at Leo as he spoke in a strict tone.
"Attorney Wintermane? I have not allowed you speech time! Now, I understand that this is your first real case. Despite this, I will consider you a professional and treat you as such. This action will stain your report, I can assure you!"
He continued as normal.
"As for the content of the both of your testimonies... I understand that this created a problem for the defendant. As for your account on the attempt of homebringing, this is also stated by the police reports and underlined with multiple witnesses. One of them is present right now, in fact. I herefore call forth Mary Love as witness."

Mary subconsciously already knew it would happen. With all the calm she had, she stepped forward out of the audience.

(Ehhh... I didn't mean to offend you, of course... Sorry if I did. I only wanted to point you at the courtroom law.)

Mary went off. "The day his parents came, they were definitly yelling at his doorstep. I didn't see everything happen as I was visiting a friend right then, so I can't say what exactly was going on. However, I did hear they did some aggressive door treatment. I dare not say wether they actually used violence."
The judge nodded. "Thank you. You can sit down." Mary returned to her seat. He turned to Lightstone. "It is evident that your parents were handling aggressively. Still, the reports state very clearly you used a fake ID to escape home. I can see why, but it remains an illegal act. Attorney Wintermane, now is your turn to defend by presenting the evidence you collected for the defendant's cause."

(( Eh, don't worry, that was mostly my thoughts towards the Judge... though it would've helped if I was actually POINTED to the Courtroom Law, and not be stuck as the victim of being left behind in a "Random Timeskip".  It kinda feels like you and Light are just trying to ignore the fact that I'm here ( which I KNOW isn't your intention, before assumptions are made ) but... eh, to Hell with it.  All's forgiven, and all that.  And I'm not pointing fingers at anyone, but can we please just make sure that everyone else is alright with Time-Skips next time?  We've missed some HUGE RP Opportunities because of it, after all, such as "Collecting Evidence", "Interviewing the Client/Witness", and our characters making preparations for the Court Session... but as you said, it's a bit too late for that, now... don't worry, though, I might have a solution for that bit. <_< ))

(http://u.cubeupload.com/Justin93Daniels/13JasonReady.png)
Leo nods his head, and straightens his posture.  "Gladly, Your Honor."

"First of all, the Defense would like to apologize to the Court, in advance, for my sudden outburst.  As I'm sure you're all aware... I'm not really from here.  Where I'm from, the laws work differently... just as the laws from my Client's home work differently as well.  However, due to the sudden nature of this case, I wasn't really given much time to examine the differences between the City's Laws, and the ones from my previous home... a situation that I do intend to correct after this case, I assure you."

"While I do understand that, regardless, it will be on my record, I'd also like to request that my foreign status be noted as well, at least for future references."

He would politely bow his head to the Judge, before turning to face the Jury.

"Most importantly, though, let's get back to the subject at hand."

"The Defense has Video Evidence that shows the attempted assault on the Witness, Mary Love, as well as the Health Records from the Medical Team that show Malnutrition, as well as marks and scratches on my Client's wrists and arms that show a struggle of some kind, as the Evidence would confirm, towards my Client and his father.  There are other details within the Medical Records, as well... though I'm sure you would like to read them to the Jury yourself, Your Honor, to confirm any doubts."


(http://u.cubeupload.com/Justin93Daniels/JasonPoint.png)
"And the suspects, as the Defense would like to remind the Jury, are none other than Mr. and Mrs. Stone, my Client's parents!"

The Bailiff would pick up the Medical Records and the Phone, to present them both to the Judge.  He would place them onto the Evidence Table.


(http://u.cubeupload.com/Justin93Daniels/JasonGrin.png)
"Furthermore, I was also able to collect surveillance footage from the Apartment's cameras during the time of the attempted assault, as further evidence, should any suspicions of tampering with the video from my phone be cast.  The two would, without a doubt, match to the very second."

The Bailiff adds the Apartment Video to the Presentation Table.


(http://u.cubeupload.com/Justin93Daniels/JasonInterrogation.png)
"And as for the charges of the Fake ID, the Defense understands that my Client is, without a doubt, guilty of possession.  However, the Defense would also like to point out that, like his parents, this would be the first recorded crime on his record.  As such, Minimal Charges are requested, such as Three Months Probational Period within the range of the Apartment and his work, with either a Probational Officer, or the Witness, Mary Love, as an appointed caretaker, due to his age."

The Bailiff brings the Fake ID to the Evidence Table.


(http://u.cubeupload.com/Justin93Daniels/13JasonReady.png)
"And since he does have a job, the Defense would like to extend that job towards Community Service... if that's how the laws here work, at least.  This way, he can serve his time in a just manner, while not having to return to an abusive home, nor risk further neglect from an unknown foster family, due to his age already being a mere two years away from proper adulthood.  It would also allow him to safely avoid the dangers of a Jail Cell, or a Detention Center."

"And while a Detention Center could prove to be an alternative, the Defense believes that my Client isn't necessarily the kind of person that requires it, due not only to his background, nor the fact that he has a fairly clean slate prior to this case, but also the fact that, while he was raised under bad influence, he obeyed the Officers without question, and showed no restraint, as most juvenile delinquents would, that require time within a Detention Center."

"Finally, the Defense would also like to request that he be granted permission to enter the nearby DPS Office, so that he may receive a Legal Identification Card, and that card's details to be mended to his job's files, to prevent any further confusion down the line."

(Wilco: I try to juggle it all... Not always easy since the court case takes a lot of attention.)
(Justin: in Ythreïman, they don't work with a jury system. Shouldn't matter in the long run...)

The judge commanded, "Play the records." The images and sound records made their way into the courtroom. The judge commended after it was over, "You are no doubt correct. Your statements match with the collected evidence. I am not saying I do not understand why he did this, mind. This is some strong evidence, I must admit. I can imagine the offence will have trouble debunking this. Now it is time for the offense attorney of the Stone family to present the evidence to support their case."

The trainer had given the two time to unpack the first day, but when they arrived the second they were mercilessly thrown into an obstacle run with all other new recrutes. "It's to test yer condition," the trainer explained. "Ye can imagine we can't have it that someone collapses mid-mission. I will record yer time. Now, GO!"

(Ray: you can go on and do some individual RP in the meantime. Nobody's gonna fall over that.)

the parents stood up and brought some tapes of Light's childhood where he seemed happy and the fake ID (the tapes they shown were from Light's happy times)

The twins work their way through the obstacle course, managing to clear it in ~1 min.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Ara Av-Toa on April 19, 2018, 07:54:49 AM
The judge Inspected the content of the tapes. Then, he remarked, "What you're showing me now is recordings of happy times only. Plus, given the total playtime, this is only a margin of his life. And, yes I am already aware of the fake ID. But now explain to me... If he was actually happy, he would not have any reason to run in the first place, right? Besides, the fact that he escaped using a fake ID means that he must have been desperate. Fake IDs are an extreme measure to attempt to stay somewhere. Plus, you've heard the testimony of your son. Do you or your attorney have a comment on any of this?"

The trainer set up big eyes upon their score. "Yowie! Ye two are in good shape! Most take longer on their first day. These scores are for trained men, lemme tell ya. This means that ye mean it's business! Take a break and next ye'll have to show me how yer' in the water. Can't be in the navy if ye can't swim!"

(It's simple. He's basically saying that they are very serious about their training routines.)

The trainer showed the two their training pool. It was the size of a common Olympic pool, and it was clear it had a wave function. The trainer, now having high expectations, pointed at it, saying, "Well, here's yer next task: get across the pool and back. Oh, by the way, we'll crank the waves up max." He signalled to some helpers, who turned the waves to their highest, before taking up the stopwatch again.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Wilco Whiteheart on April 19, 2018, 10:34:02 PM
They dive in, showing no fear.


Wilco used the waves to his advantage, managing to move faster then Willa, by using the waves as ramps of sorts.


Willa followed her brothers example, managing to catch up to him.


When they turned around, they dived under the water, managing to get through it in about ~5-6 minutes.

The trainer checked the time of both and picked an eye. "Hm... For a pair o' wolves, that's a decent time. Ye sure did yer homework. I gotta warn ye that ye might be deployed anywhere. How 'bout we do some classic jobs? See how much the two of ye can deadlift." He led the two to the indoor gym and pointed at the dumbbells. "Ladies first, hm?"
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Wilco Whiteheart on April 21, 2018, 08:12:58 AM
Willa walks up to the dumbbell and puts on 100 kg, before preparing herself and lifting it successfully.

(The judge was talking to the prosecution.)
The judge grumbled. "Hmpf. You keep up with it, eh? Very well- I know enough anyway.
Defendant Light Stone is sentenced with community service for 36 hours for the fake ID. However, you win the case- you will be placed with a foster until you're 18. Local authorities are going to look for a suitable home.
As for the prosecution... Mr. and mrs. Stone, you are each sentenced to a 750 Gheo fine and 72 hours community service. To top it off, both of you gain 1 year prison unconditionally and 1 year conditionally.
Alternatively, I have 2 years prison unconditionally and 1 conditionally, but without the fine and service... your call.
Last, both attorneys will get a final word to change the verdict. Wintermane, go ahead. You have 1 minute. After you finish, the prosecution gets 1 minute as well."

The trainer puffed. "Ye can lift alright... For a rookie, yer frickin' tuff. How 'bout ya, boy? Can ye keep up with miss 'ere?"
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
Post by: Wilco Whiteheart on April 22, 2018, 09:14:49 PM
Willa places the dumbbells down, before moving out the way.

(http://u.cubeupload.com/Justin93Daniels/JasonInterrogation.png)
"Alright, now we've got him on our side... but if I leave it to the Local Authorities to search for a Foster Family, that could still end with him having to move away from the Apartment Area, if he ends up in a Foster Home... however, there MIGHT be a way for me to secure his future... wait a second... of course!"



(http://u.cubeupload.com/Justin93Daniels/13JasonReady.png)
"Your Honor... The Defense believes that having the Local Authorities search for a Foster Home wouldn't be necessary, for there is already someone who can, without a doubt, take good care of him."

"In fact, the one I would suggest happens to be inside this very courtroom!"

"Should she agree with the idea, then I would like to request that, instead of troubling the Authorities to go through the process of searching though the whole city for a proper Foster Family, we have my Client move in with one of the closest connections he has, who is already verified to be of Legal Age!"


(http://u.cubeupload.com/Justin93Daniels/JasonGrin.png)
"The connection, of course, is the victim he was trying to defend from his parents... Mary Love!"

"After all, she does have a job, so food and utilities wouldn't be a problem.  And she lives close enough to his work place, that he wouldn't even have to search for a new job, and could keep his current one."

"This is what the Defense requests, Your Honor... however..."


(http://u.cubeupload.com/Justin93Daniels/13JasonReady.png)
"I also believe that it should be Mary Love's choice, in the end... however, should she refuse..."

"I can't just let him go into the Wilderness... he might not make it... I have to improvise!"

"Then I will choose to adopt him, myself!"

The judge clacked his tongue. "You're certain about this, attorney Wintermane. Witness Mary Love, do you agree with this proposition?" Mary shook up. She didn't expect this to happen. She reckoned Light wouldn't make too much trouble, so she replied, "Well, I'm willing to give it a try." The judge continued, "Then it's an agreement. We'll work out the papers. Now the prosecution has one minute defence time."

The trainer crossed his arms. "Heh. Looks like the lady is no match for ya. Maybe miss can lift more than she showed?" His eyes met Willa's. His question was posed more like a statement and it was clear what he was aiming at.
Title: Re: Beastopian Tails- Reset
