Abyss: Great…
~Kari~
The lion was no match for the bear, as I had suspected. If the lion was trying to commit suicide, then this was the perfect way to do it.
‘Damn! I have to find my sister!’
Leaving the two to finish the healing process—even though I could heal his wound to a better extent—I headed towards the dogs. Last time I saw, Claudia was headed there.
“Claudia!” My voice was lost in the thick amount of snow. It appeared I had to walk around, looking for her myself.
I spent the rest of my day walking, and I swore I got lost.
“Hello.”
“Who are you?”
Abyss: Short, but better than nothing!
Anyone can continue from this (if they want)!
~Jethro~
I sigh, looking up at the sky. Little snowflakes dance down from the clouds, landing in my eyes and on my hair and clothes. I'm surrounded by pure whit snow, in this place no one else knows about. I lean over the edge of the cliff and look down at the place where Maki's body lies. She's surrounded by a group of halfers, all heading to the same place. Harmony. I spot belk and Lucy within the group. Ugh! Why is he hangin out with her, a rabbit, and nor me, a totally awesome dog?! Makes me mad.
"it's time to head back." I say to myself, standing up and stretching my legs. I change into a German Shepard and head towards the group. When I got there, the twins were waiting.
"Jethro! We've been looking for you!" Zory says, hopping towards me.
"Yeah! Where have you been?" zack asks this while tugging my ear. I grin and laugh slightly.
"It's a secret." I tell them this because I don't want anyone else to know about my secret getaway. The two look at me for a minute, then turn to each other and shrug.
"Anyways," Zoey starts," we're having a snowman building competition. Wanna join?"
"Heck yeah!" this seems like fun. Zack and Zoey run off, and I assume they want me to follow.
"Let the epic snowman builing competition begin!" I whisper to myself, then run after them.
Tamotsu~
When the bear-halfer returned, I asked, "Are you better?"
"Much, Listen, I want you to go to that group of your and bring them here. This storm is going to get a bunch worse in a few hours, and I'm probably the only one here that would live through it," he replied.
I simply nodded and took off for the group.
On the way, I thought I saw Pierce trying to pry his hands off a snowman. What a weird guy!
When I arrived at teh group, I found Sky and told her what had happened finishing with, "The bear-halfer, I didn't catch his name, wants us to go to the cave because of teh terrible storm approaching. He seems trustworthy."
Sky nodded when I was done and told some of the others nearby to round up the group members and make for the cave.
Then I went off again to find Kasumi.
She was still standing guard over Maki's body like a loyal dog. We never really knew her but I could tell that death affected Kasumi in terrible ways.
As I approached, Kas told me, "She needs to be cremated. If we bury her in the snow, something will dig up her body."
I nodded and placed my hand on her shoulder, "Okay. We have to go to a cave now so I guess we'll have to bring her there. You can't start a fire in snow anyway."
Without another word, Kasumi lifted the girl's body from the snow, cradling her in her arms and began walking with the group.
I was about to go find Pierce to see if our plans were okay, when I spotted a figure galloping towards us through the snow.
Then I relaized it was a girl with short, black hair riding on the back of a centaur with a long golden braid.
Trouble.

Aditi~
Back at the anime con, I asked around to find that a large group of people had left about an hour or two before.
"Shiori, we missed the group again," I told her with a sigh. We weren't sure what we would do when we found them but we both agreed that Harmony would be our destination as well.
Then a small boy bumped into me, seemingly by accident, and said, "Oh, I'm sorryy miss!" Then he pushed his sleeves up in an innocent way to reveal a phoenix tattoo.
"Just watch it next time kid," I hissed and grabbed his hair in such a way that he could see the identical tattoo on my arm as well.
"I'll be more careful! i'm sorry!" he bowed and then slipped me a paper as he ran by.
"What's that?" asked Shiori, peering over my shoulder.
Unfolding it, I saw a long, formal message written to me from the head of the New Agency.
"To sum it up," I told Shirori, "I've been ordered to recruit useful halfers and if Kasumi isn't one of the recruits, I have to kill her. She is too much of a threat and also holds one of the keys to Harmony."
I sighed and began walking out of the convention. I didn't like Kasumi but I certainly admired her skills. Killing her would be a shame. Maybe threatening her with a death of her friend? But Tamotsu was no slouch either.
Thoughts tumbled around in my mind and I barely noticed the snow that began to fall just an hour or so after we began walking.
"Snow?" Shiori asked no one in particular.
I looked at the white flakes and then at ourselves. We weren't exactly wearing the right clothes for a blizzard but that wouldn't stop me.
"Hey Shiori," I said, "You can wait here until the weather clears or something but I'm going ahead."
She stopped in her tracks and I just continued ahead, but then to my surprise, she ran up and grabbe dmy arm.
"No way in hell am I staying behind," she said with a smile.
I grinned back although she couldn't see it through the bandana around my mouth and said, "Let's run then."
Starting out by running on just two hooves(she uses hooves instead of feet), I was overtaken by Shiori who had longer legs.
Then I transformed the lower half of my body from human to horse and became a literal centaur. I didn't fully transform so I could still use my gun when needed.
"No fair!" she yelled as I galloped ahead with a laugh.
Feeling better than ever, I turned around and put her on my back.
As half-horse, we could cover more ground in less time then the halfers and catch up to them.
In no time, I we came across the group and the first people I saw were Kasumi carrying a girl in her arms and Tamotsu staring at us.
"What should we do?" I asked Shiori, "Approach them or stay at a distance?"
Continue?

There is a CF meeting today that take place in theOtaku chat room~
Name-Community Fusion <-duh, what else would I call it?
Password-harmony
Room Topic-Oh you know, this an that~
Time-5:00 PM central time, I will edit this post and the title will be renamed "Chat Room Meeting" letting you know that I will be waiting there.
Things To Discuss-Other story line ideas(orz seriously people, I'm running out of ideas *flaming eyes* but I will not let this place die!!! >3), mission ideas (I'm actually thinking about repeating some missions that I had over last summer unless people have ideas *stares at you*), how to get more members involved. Anything else you would like me to bring up? (even if you don't think you'll be able to be there, please tell me~ ^^U)
So yes, I'm trying to get more people to show this time ^^' Thank you :D
<~/Poochy/~>
EDIT OTZ Sorry I'm a little late, I kind of sort of fell asleep for awhile XDD Anyway, I'll be in the chat room now ^^
Summery
Okay, thank you to the people who were able to make it to the chat room last night ^.^ It was very fun(but random) to talk to you all and to discuss thing(as well as get off topic) with my oh so lovely members~ XD
So this is what I had typed last night. Please add to it or tell me other ideas if you weren't able to make it~
New Plot Ideas
- Go over seas/to one of the great lakes.
- A labyrinth where you can only use your human form and if you use your animal form something happens
- They see Harmony but it disappears at midnight.
- They go into the labyrinth, and they can't transform. Something happens. So they see harmony, and they're so excited about it, but there's a restriction, you have to be in animal form to get in. then it disappears and they're sad and stuff. So they leave the labyrinth and go over seas, and run into a skiing place.
Summery-We discussed ideas for new plots, got off topic, tried to continue, again got off topic (see, if you attend a chat room meeting for the first time, that is seriously what you should expect~) Discussed other missions and no one really had many in mind... and talked about how to get more members in, never really got that far actually cause we started talking about other things......Yup so that was the around four hour meeting.
A other category? (for wall papers and ecards) <-Do you think this is a good idea? Since I know most members, at least most of them know how to do a ecard or wall paper, but than that leavs some that do not know how to/do not have the program to do it. So I'm not really sure if I should add this part or not, I was just trying to get a viraety in. XP
Mission/contest ideas
How harmony looks
And I know Moon-Chan told you, but again, I'm really sorry that I just disappeared from the meeting oTZ My brother was mad that I was using the internet for a long time and disconected me by taking the air card out of the router so there for, no internet for meh T^T Since I had ended the meeting and we were just randomly there I don't think I missed anything, right?
If you missed this meeting, there is always the next one and I hope to see you there~ ^^
<~/Poochy/~>
PS ^^U Never assume the chat room meeting is over unless you see this posted edited with the summery cause usually a few people stick around after I ended it and its always really fun xDDD
PSS DX I’ll try and get Isoka-Chan to show at the next meeting because by the time she got on she thought that the meeting had ended even though it hadn’t orz
As I huddled in the coat with Fai, cold from under me seeped from my feet, now wet from snow, up into my legs, then arms and face. I started to shiver, despite the warmth around me. Suddenly a smell hit my nose, and I started coughing and gagging.
"Are you okay?!" asked Fai worridly.
"It smells like... *cough* blood..." I managed to say.
"Hmm... If you go on like this, you will get sick." He gave me a look, and placed a hand on my forehead. "You already have a mild fever." I shook my head furtiously.
"N-no!" I chattered. "The smell..." He gave me a more serious look. It was strange on him, since he always seemed to smile. I sighed. "F-fine..." I stepped out of the coat, and focussed on changing.
In the moment of change, I experienced a short flash back.
~~~
"M-mommy?!" the young me cried. "Daddy?!" The bodies on the ground were mangled and beaten beyond recognition. Blood was everywhere. Reaching out, my small hand touched my mothers head, and was covered in sticky red blood. I screamed, trying to get it off. Sitting down, I put my hands over my face, but moved my little fingers, unable to look away...
~~~
As the change completed, I sat as the panther, looking down at the white snow. The smell of blood was overwhelming now. Fai came up and put his hand on my large head. "Flash back?" he asked. I looked away. I heard him give a small sigh. "It looks like the kids are having a good time." I looked over where he was pointing. Two of the younger travelers with us were making snowmen.
The snow was starting to come down harder, the wind picking up a little. I knew the storm was going to turn worse. I didn't need the snow owl next to me to tell me that.
"We need to find shelter. It may be fine now, but it's bound to get worse." Fai looked around. I couldn't see any shelter in sight. What would we do?
By now, the smell of blood was really getting to me. I turned away from the smell, and sat down again, but it hardly helped...
