more of the lovely story i'm building for you. so this is ryu, once again. and here's more about him: Physicaly: average height for his age [whatever that is] is a bit too thin black hair blue eyes, a scar on one pale never very clean so where we left off, everything sucked, and it will continue to do so after a bit. after his little episode that ruined his life as he knew it, he left it and didn't do much but wander farther and farther away from it til he reached a place inbetween the bad and the okay places and found himself a friend- 2 really. An unsusually tall man, and a sickly-looking girl, both w/ strange hair colors and friendly dipositions. and naturally, they took the grungy stranger in to thier home and almost immediately adopted him as part of thier mistfit family. things went well for a day or two, and then ryu realized the people he was staying w/ were pretty bad off, but happy people. they had a safe home, thier sanity, school and work to go to, friends to meet, and lives to live. And he knew he would ruin it. he would hurt them like he had hurt his old friends, and he had to leave. But the tall man wouldn't let him- he had buisness there, he said- something ryu had to do, a good thing. and he was telling the truth, ryu will go on to do good things, cuz he was made to do them. but if i explained those things, i would have to explain about here he lives, and that would make this description way too long- so till next time, kids. *pic desciption:* he's speaking about the birds and the shadows.
