(OOC: Erm... it seems we've come to a bit of a standstill. I'm not entirely sure how to proceed, so I dunno if I'm the best person to continue this right now, but... the RP must go on! )

(OOC: Photobucket has just gone blah, hasn't it.

Ahem. Indeed, it has reached quite a standstill, a month...Yuki-san is getting worried about whether this is going to live or not. I personally will continue if we all want to, and it will probably be in the right if I say Yuki-san wishes to continue as well. We need only Batou's consent and perhaps we can continue.)

(OOC: I'm in if we decide to continue! )

(Yeah, that's usually how it happens [no offense to Shiro-san, that is. ^^] I couldn't think of anything my character had to say, either. )

(No offense taken, since I don't know what there was to take offense at. *sweatdrops* But yeah.)

sorry for the intoruption what is it about

I'd like to direct you to the first page to read the story and rules. If you want to join, just...join, I suppose, but you'll have quite a bit of reading to do to keep with the story. After doing that bit of reading (it shouldn't take more than a day or two), figure out the best way to join while keeping the flow of the story. For the convenience of all the players, I would especially like to reinforce the rule that clear posts with good punctuation/grammar should be used.

Thank you.

'I don't mean to mean, dear sister, but what's wrapped in there will greatly increase your power, even if only for a bit. If you're smart, you'll keep it. And please, don't open it until you're in trouble...'cause if you do, you'll go crazy...and nobody wants that.' I thought. "Well, then, if you haven't any questions [OOC: assuming that no one did since we were practically on hiatus for a bit], I'll just be going on my way.

Farewell to you all, until we meet again." I said, and walked out the door, at which point I ran away into the forest.

"Well then," Luthien said after the mage had departed. "If that is all, I suggest we all get some rest. It will be a long day tomorrow, and we have yet to prepare supplies for our journey."

Luthien had always loved adventures...

Before her father disappeared, he would tell her ancient stories of elves, men... many races and the adventures they had which had been recorded in elven history--and quite accurately, since the elves lived for thousands upon thousands of years... and had seen much. When she was younger, Luthien had always imagined herself on one of those adventures. Although, back then, she had always imagined herself traveling with her father on those adventures. She did not know quite why he suddenly disappeared, but... she had decided to finally begin her own adventure in search of him.

Unfortunately, that adventure had not gone very far. For some strange reason, she could not find a trace of her elven father anywhere. He could not have died... for she would have felt it. But, traveling across the land had caused her to grow to love it, and soon she became content to just travel the land, exploring and learning new things... which was how she had come to learn about the legend of Beren and the Mystic Mana Gems.

Although, she wondered why her father had never told her of it. Especially since this one seemed widely known. Her father had prided himself in knowing many tales, and since this one was so commonly known... why had he not heard it? Or... had he purposely kept it from her? And if so, why? She had gone looking for more information on the one adventure tale her father had forgotten... or for some reason, purposely neglected to tell her... and had ended up where she had began... among elves.

Yes, this would be an interesting journey. A journey to regain the lost gems of Beren.

(OOC: Sorry this post wasn't very inclusive to the other characters. I just couldn't leave it at that one thing Luthien said though, so... I expanded on the story about her father. ^^)
