I'm only in it for the Yazoo: Last 5 weeks: 51, 5, 9, 43, 54
Hometown AG win.
Fuck. I'm hoping a 60+ this week will salvage a sporadic fall. Of course, with my work sked, this is all but most certainly undoable.
22 - nice job, Dallas. The last time I ran that far was part of a marathon in August. Dang.
I echo bdub.
Last 5 weeks - 32, 46, 49. 45, 51.
I've all but given up hope of winning it this year...but there's still 3 weeks to train.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Does eating pounds of Holloween candy count as putting hay in the barn?
I also do a 2 week taper, but the 3rd week I just try and not do anything really stupid.
But ... Friday, I caught my little toe and only my little toe on something and its all black and blue and painful ... Hopefully its the only stupid thing I decide to do.
Okay, I feel better now. Carry on.
AT LEAST YOU CAN LIFT UP YOUR LEG. Okay, I feel better now. Carry on.
You ready to DNS?
It's gonna be a game time decision.
After 20 minutes of running the pain is replaced by numbness ... unless I run fast ... then it hurts again
I really do not see it as a problem ... I was just complaining.
This sounds like what Deanna has been dealing with for years. May not be the best way to do it, but she taped up and ran the monkey last year.

Poofessoria! Where you been? We've missed you. btw, the dude who stole your password likes women. Fargin bastage is cramping your style.
Canepa Report Card Quarterbacks - B. Rivers played a gallant game, but when you can't score touchdowns, you usually end up getting stuck with the check. Running backs - Inc. How can there be any grades? Mathews carried 9 times for 20 yards. Rivers almost outgained him. This team can't run the ball and for the most part didn't try. Dog ate the homework. Receivers - A-minus. Alexander is the find of the year, Gates had six catches and Floyd made some big plays. This isn't a bad group when Rivers has more than an instant to throw. Offensive Line - U. Unknown. Who are these people? Norv pulled a few down from the stands during the game. Defensive Line - C-plus. These guys played well enough and have been playing well enough. Linebackers - C-plus. Williams had a pick six, the team's only touchdown. No sacks, but did chase Dalton around. Once again, good enough, but not when it mattered. Secondary - C-minus. It's a tough job when you have to pitch a shutout. Lynch had a pick off a tipped pass but he also got run through by Green-Ellis on big 41-yard run. But who was that scoring in the fourth quarter? Special Teams - D. Scifres didn't have his best day. Novak missed a tough, 54-yarder. Punt return coverage stunk. And, of course, the Chargers couldn't return a punt if it meant their life. Coaching - B. For the most part, Norv outcoached his Bengal buddies. He's just so limited in what he can do. Next Opportunity (at Pittsburgh) - P. Please. The Chargers will win there when three rivers turn to two.
Loooooosey, I'm home !!!!!!! Farg these + 12 hours days, this shite is getting old reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal quick. Then again, at this rate I should be able to afford a trip back their next year to catch a few games ( Boston sounds good at the moment) and I probably will have to pick up the Missus and bring her back if nothing better shows up here shortly ........oh well, gotta take the good with the bad as they say. OK, time to chill a little here and catch up while also taking a peekaboo at the Eagles, no doubt, reaming that Tony rHomo kid a new one.
You DON'T even know what "bad is" until you've witnessed firtshand, the absolute shite that is "Australian homemade programming" mate............. Absolutely mindnumbing beyond belief, cant even begin to describe it............ its no wonder there are soooooooo many fargin' nuff-nuff's walking the streets these days, addiction to that shite is more harmful to one's brain development than any drug know to mankind.
Understood, seeing as you are a rather "petite" build yourself Poofessoria. Hell, I'm not that fussy, at this stage a decent blowup doll will do the trick........... or one of these guys below if the doll cant handle the pace.
Classic stuff, Man that guys is a dreadful QB ( yet another USC QB bust) ....................what a shame that the Cards suck the big ONE as badly as they do and couldn't take advantage of that. Fancy letting a team score only 7 and still beat you ( not even the Chargers have done that ..................have they ????)
Young ....Old......middle aged, seriously, what does it matter ? Another arse-beating coming down ..... who we got next week by the way ???? Any local High Schools looking for a beatdown by any chance ????
Well do YOU trust him Conc ? - to stay healthy - to hold onto the ball - to complete blocking duties - to follow his blockers - to run more North/South than East/SouthEast -to break a tackle OK, thats enough, I'm pooped.
Surely the guy who holds the towel for the players needing to take a slash on the field WILL keep his job ? Talk about thankless jobs !!!! Tough titties if he's canned ................. I'd go to war with that Man.
Couldyou even imagine what Shammy would be like to deal with if that eventuates ???? As long as Spanos sells, I couldnt give a rats right teste where they end up playing ...... I hear Anchorage is lovely this time of year ??? Damn, we could even get a little baby seal clubbing in between games !!!
What about the rest of us who foreseen this coming years ago ???................what, Chopped Dog Dork I presume ???
Have a feeling that Charger DC's should just have Queens "Another One Bites the Dust" playing on loop in their office during their ONE YEAR tenure.
Yes you would, lets not go overboard here. Speaking of Angelina ............... How bout that Brad Pitt guy !!!!!!!!!!!! ........nailing Robin Givens while she was STILL married to Mike Tyson !!! That redefines the definition of "BIG BRASS ONE'S" for Shizzle ......... my God, bet that bastard has some great stories to pass along.................lucky Farg'r !!!! Brad, you da MAN !!!

This money holder is constructed well. It's just not fun to play with. I suppose it's a puzzle - the trick is to figure out how to open it. The problem is this: the box is packaged and shipped with the lid off, so you have to close the box before you can actually try to open it. But with the lid open, the trick to the puzzle is revealed. So there's no mystery as to how the puzzle works. So if you intend to give this away as a money holder, it may serve its purpose. I did try to open the box following the instructions that were included, and I wasn't successful. I may have to try the other reviewer's method.
I am 12 and it only took me 30 min to figure it out!!I some open it by breaking it but i did it the right way. ~first find the right side and stand it ~ then grab a bar magnet and slide it slowly upward ~let go and look to see if the metal pieces are still there. if they are that's good. ~do the same w/ the other side and then open it up to get ur treasure. sadly mine did not have any thing it it. Ow well!! have fun and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
How do you open the 'don't count on it' box?

So after seeing his first stream and how he was a bit disappointed with the very slow pacing of his online game. He was playing FFA with just normal settings and frankly it didn't go so well for him or really anybody in general.
So I tweeted him and invited him to try again with us 1-4 year veterans in a 5v5 match up.
He actually agreed to it to the possibility. Though it won't be this weekend but at a later date. Problem is that if we do go through. My worry is that TB will just be slaughtered unless we can try to keep everybody at bay. I am unsure if we should try a custom map or go through with the random map.
I am being very optomistic about the situation.
If he could boost the popularity of this game maybe stardock could get more funds to help improve the game as well:)
thats the secret agenda mayall, shhhhh!!
It would be hilarious.
I would laugh
As would I, and then I would cry.
Oh dear lord. Hopefully ICO and the game won't do that to us.
Then we have to give him the "it's a beta" excuse
But then he would check the forums and know that we are lying through our teeth.
If only that wasn't true. To be frank I had only 2 minidumps since beta 2 came out so it seems to be getting better.
People often fake MDs.
Yes true, however he does review lots of indie/lesser known titles and loves them. It's not like he does Triple A titles only or FPS only. Quite the opposite, for instance he loved Terraria.
In my experience, which is limited, minidump happens early in the game, quit later on.
if you let me know when the match is i can tell you if i can play or not.
[DT]Radioactive / Star Player
hmm i've had minidumps occur at no regular pattern at all. If there was a regular pattern i'm sure the devs would have an easier time dealing with this bug.

Thunderstorms sweep Wisconsin
A double dose of thunderstorms swept into southern Wisconsin on Sunday flooding parts of the interstate system in Milwaukee County, spawning lightning strikes that damaged structures and delayed flights at Mitchell International Airport.
Thomas More High School will be closed Monday because of flooding in the building, though sports events are still scheduled.
Lightning struck a century-old barn in Muskego around 7 p.m., causing a fire that destroyed the building. A home in Franklin was also damaged when lightning struck the roof. »Read Full Article(4)

Brewers limp home after another loss
San Francisco - At least nobody was injured in this game.
That was the only consolation for the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday as they ended a discouraging, nine-game trip with a disheartening 4-3, 11-inning loss to the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park.
The Brewers ended their mind-numbing, four-game streak of having a player exit with an injury, but that didn't stop them from going 1-2 for the third consecutive stop on this trip. Battered and listing badly, they returned home with a crowded disabled list and a 12-16 record. »Read Full Article(28)
Man surrenders after standoff on Oneida reservation
Green Bay Press-Gazette is reporting on its website.
Police arrested a 30-year-old Antigo man Saturday after a 4 ½-hour standoff on the Oneida Indian Reservation, theA woman living on Echo Lane in Ashwaubenon called police at 10 a.m. Saturday to report that an ex-boyfriend was at her house and had a gun.
The man left the house and drove away, and a police SWAT team surrounded his car. Nearby buildings were locked down. The man finally surrendered 4 ½ hours later.
Compelling performance gives 'Goldfish' room to swim
A poor boy works hard, saves his money and leaves for college. Once there, he and one of his much richer classmates make eyes at each other in the library. Their names are Albert and Lucy, and they're soon madly in love.
That's the familiar tale at the middle of John Kolvenbach's "Goldfish," which Soulstice Theatre is introducing to Milwaukee in a production that opened over the weekend.
But it's through the expanding stories at the margins - literally, on Soulstice's tripartite set, where hinged walls can widen the sides by shrinking the center - that what's best in this play unfolds. »Read Full Article
DNR backed off in sending waste-hauler's case to Justice Department, paper reports
A top political appointee at the state Department of Natural Resources chose not to send a complaint against an Oconomowoc waste hauler to the Department of Justice for prosecution despite findings by agency staff that the company was treating fields with so much human waste from septic tanks it risked poisoning nearby wells, the Wisconsin State Journal is reporting.
The story, which ran in the State Journal's Sunday editions, said that Scott Gunderson, a former Republican legislator who is executive assistant to DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp, "made an extra effort" to deal with the complaint internally last year even though the agency's enforcement staff urged that the case be referred to DOJ, which could have imposed fines of tens of thousands of dollars.
The State Journal cited DNR records.

Sheboygan council to consider food truck limits
Sheboygan - The Sheboygan Common Council plans to consider an ordinance that would make it harder for mobile food trucks to serve festivals and other events.
The ordinance would prohibit vendors from parking with 500 feet of a fair, farmers' market or carnival without a special permit. They'd also have to shut down at 2:30 a.m. on weekends, and their fees would rise from $100 to $500.

Mount Calvary - A Fond du Lac County convent that opened its doors 160 years ago will be shutting down this summer, a victim of aging facilities and decreasing occupancy.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Convent in Mount Calvary housed countless nuns since it was founded in 1852. But time has taken its toll on the old building, and the remaining 20 nuns have made peace with the fact that it's time to move on.

is there a well-documented/measured route like the one described in this article located anywhere in the chicagoland area?
...or somewhere in/near milwaukee...
would be interesting to see where i stack up in the cycling universe with various bikes.
I don't think there's anything like that but you'd have to find perfect conditions (i.e. absolutely no wind, nothing on the course to slow or stop you) to use a road course to get your power output. You could use heart rate measurements to get a rough idea of how you stack up or you could go to one of the places in town (e.g. get a grip, athletico, uiuc) to get a LT/VO2 max test. It's a bit pricy though. Of course, you could always jump in and race in a crit, it'll cost you around 20-30 and you'll see how you stack up with the local competition which is probably a better measure than seeing how well you can do against pros that may or may not be doped to within an inch of their lives.
Come to Vision Quest, And we can test you at our chicago or Highland Park Facility. We do a 20 min all out effort. You need something controlled with no variables that can be a true all out effort.
Feel free to contact us-
And how much does VQ charge for that, about $200?
Good question, Robbie Ventura does our Lab testing and its a Performance assessment. Its A to Z -
* bike fit
* pedal stroke analysis
* Blood LT test
* and some of bike components such as core, agility, range of motion assessment. This is the best way to figure out what your LT is.
If you want just a field test, come in and check out one of our "taste of vqs" its $165- heck we have one starting in a week called "the taste of the taste" for $75 bucks. We will test you in the class (field test) but will still give you that same number that your looking for. And, take the 4 other classes as learning how to training certain aerobic systems.
Let me know if you have some other questions- If you ever want to come by and check us out, please feel free to do so.
The reason the River Road climb up to Route 9W works well is because it is a long, steady, gradual climb without cross streets that takes 5, 6, or 7 minutes. Your ability to overcome gravity is an effective representation of your power output, because the power required to do the climb overwhelms the effects of the wind and other day-to-day variables cited by S in his/her reply.
Alas, there are no long, steady, gradual climbs, with or without cross streets, that take 5, 6, or 7 minutes in the Chicago metro area. That's why, in this area, we need a Compu-Trainer or power meter to evaluate our progress.

Obama Returns to Middle-Class Tax Cut Pitch
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- President Barack Obama reiterated a commitment to cut taxes for America's middle class Monday in a speech that appeared to be more like a campaign pitch than a call for Congress to act.
The speech called on Congress for a one-year extension on tax cuts for households that earn less than $250,000 a year.
"It's time to let the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, folks like myself, to expire," Obama said in a press conference. "What's holding us back from meeting these challenges ... is a stalemate ... in Washington between two very different views about where we should go in this country."
Most economic analysts and political strategists have said that this action likely would be stalled through the rest of the election season.
Tax cuts for the middle class have been a crucial talking point of Obama's campaign, which may be hoping the issue will drive the election among undecided voters who have struggled throughout the president's term.
Obama has previously pushed the so-called "Buffett Rule," which would ensure that taxpayers who make more than $1 million a year would pay at least the same rate as middle-class families.
"He has to believe ... that the fairness argument is going to prevail," Gary Dorrien, a social ethicist at Columbia University who just finished a book about Obama's first term, said in a previous interview. "He's running against a guy who's a poster child for the 1% -- someone paying 14%
With unlikely passage by Congress, Obama's speech signals another chance for the president to take a dig at Republican nominee Mitt Romney -- a wealthy individual who repeatedly has been attacked for a lack of transparency with his personal income taxes.
Legendary investor Warren Buffett -- for whom the Buffett Rule is named after -- did speak up for Romney in January, when he said it's not the former Massachusetts governor's fault for having paid a 15% tax rate.
Romney's campaign tax proposals for individual earners includes a permanent, across-the-board 20% cut in marginal rates, continuance of current rates on interest, dividends and capital gains, repeal of the alternative minimum tax and elimination of interest, dividends and capital gains on earners who make less than $200,000 adjusted gross income.
Fellow private equity business people and economists argue that eventually a President Romney would have to raise taxes .

I was working out of town in Cortez, CO when I hit a deer between Cahone and Pleasant View. Fortunately the main damage was a smashed windshield....unfortunately the windshield was smashed. The car was towed to a dealership in Cortez but they didn't seem in to much of a hurry to check out the damage. I talked to Renee at Integrity Glass and explained that my car is my office and I needed to return to Denver in two days. Renee called the dealership and got them to check the damage around the windshield to determine if a the glass could be replaced. My company is also self insured so she contacted the claims department and once she had all the pieces in place she had the windshield replaced in less than 24 hours. I was going to meet Jeff at the dealership but he was so fast he got there early and had the work done before our scheduled time. He called me and told me I was good to go. He made every effort to clean up the glass in the car so it would be safe for me to drive. I don't know what I would have done with out Renee and Jeff! Thank you!

White smoke rose from the Vatican on Wednesday as the College of Cardinals confirmed the election of Argentinian Jorge Mario Bergiglio as Pope Francis.
According to a live CNN report, Bergiglio, 76, is the first non-European pope in centuries. The South American native replaces Pope Benedict XVI, who retired last month at age 85 because he felt he could no longer fulfill his duties.
It was the first time in nearly 600 years that a pope resigned.

Ted Ligety was virtually unknown when he skied for Olympic gold in 2006. But as he picks up more wins and more notoriety, Ted just strives for more. And, thanks to generous people like you supporting the United States Olympic Committee, he continues to deliver. His win at the 2011 Alpine Ski Racing World Championships in Germany made him one of six Americans to win a World Cup and an Olympic gold medal. And now he's pushing toward another medal in Sochi.
The youngest of five children in a Vermont family full of snowboarders, Hannah Teter started riding when she was 8. Over the next 10 years, with the support of Americans like you pushing her, Hannah became USA Snowboarding's youngest member and won half-pipe gold at the Torino Games. She added a silver medal in Vancouver four years later and has a chance to become one of the first snowboarders to win three Olympic medals with a Sochi win in 2014.
Despite reaching the top of his sport in the U.S., a degenerative eye disease called keratoconus had ravaged Steven Holcomb's vision and forced him to consider retirement in 2008. But thanks to support from people like you, the U.S. Olympic Committee and U.S. Bobsledding Foundation were able to pay for an experimental surgery and restore Holcomb's vision. He has since led his team to the first U.S. four-man bobsledding gold medal in 62 years and put himself in position for Sochi success.

<Zanark: North Sector>
Fukiya led the squad of five in from the northernmost reaches of the city, covering the city from the high route. She set up on a rooftop, dropping down to one knee and aiming through the scope, closing one eye as she used her telescopic sight to view the surroundings. As the two rearmost soldiers caught up, to the rest of the group, their conversation began to reach Fukiya's ears.
"Why are we still talking about this? You know that you don't apply to join Major Rovina's branch, she chooses you."
"No! No! I'm not saying I want to join her special forces group, all I'm saying is she's really nice looking, but something tells me she's actually a royal bi-"
"Tracer! Hollowpoint!"
The two soldiers furthest at the back of the group snapped to attention.
Fukiya sighed, placing her hand on her forehead.
"Come on guys, you're lucky you weren't court martialed for that little stunt in the officer's latrines, could you at least take this mission seriously? This is your last chance to show the brass it would be a waste to make you guys stay at home and scrub dishes all day."
"Ma'am, I would like to reiterate that I had nothing to do with the firecracker that Private Tracer..."
"Shh! I see something! Everyone get down!"
Immediately, all of the soldiers dropped low to avoid being seen. Fukiya had spotted a strange, armored man, walking from rooftop to rooftop, not headed towards them at the moment, but she could clearly see he was armed. Her finger began to brush against the trigger, as she waited, knowing that if she fired a shot, they would have to fight, but if she didn't there was a chance the man would simply walk away.
"Guys... hold your fire..."
<Zanark: South Sector>
Maxim and his men took a less subtle approach from the south, simply walking in at street level and making no attempt to hide their presence.
"Wadcutter! Magnum! You two take the southeast! Everyone else! We're going west!"
The soldiers split into two smaller teams, a pair going off on their own to the southeast, with Maxim and the other two to the southwest. Both teams took a very blunt approach, showing pictures of Raiku to the populace and taking direction from them.

Zanark: Upper Plate
"Okay, here's the upper plate, now to investigate." Crest finally arrived at the upper plate of Zanark City, which was drastically different from the middle plate and more importantly, the slums.
"Hmph, with all that money they have, they could have put it into better use than burning it on materalistic stuff." Crest said bitterly looking at the houses.
He never liked coming here, he came mostly because the rich houses usually had objects that sold for big money and he was a thief after all. But it still got on his nerves that the people here spent more time using all that money on cold lifeless objects than use it for good things.
Like helping the people of the Slums, who were struggling to live as it was.
Crest shook his head after that, since now was not the time for that.
The voice came back but this time it was more clearer and it came from the direction of the castle. "No way, so it really was the castle...Okay, time for the Midnight Thief to put those skills into use." Crest stretched before heading to an pipe of one of the houses and climbed up to the roof.
Once on the roof, he jumped along the rooftops with the ease of a Genji, the only serious jump he had to work on was the one jumping from the end of the roof of the last wealthy mansion over on to the ramparts of the castle.
Crest went back a little to give him some space before running as fast as he could to the edge and jumping as far as he could. Luckily, he made it to the rampart, but it was still a close call.
"Whew...at least the worst part is over, now comes the sneaking." Crest sighed in relief. He ran as steathly as down the ramparts then sneaked past any of the Zanark Castle's royal guards. With loads of luck and a little improvising from the Midnight Thief himself, he managed to sneak into the castle.

<Zanark City: Rooftops>
Another voice sounded again, and it was far stronger, enough so that Fractal was able to pinpoint the direction it came from. He leapt up, beginning to float, and allowing him to ascend. He directed himself towards the castle walls, looking down at the guards from above. He could see someone else from his high vantage point over the castle, someone who apparently also had heard the same voice as him. He could see a guard up ahead was about to round a corner on his patrol, and would, in essence, discover the man sneaking into the castle. Without waiting, Fractal dropped, descending right on top of the guard in question, wrapping his arms around the guard's mouth and body, and beginning to fly straight up again, taking himself and the guard skywards.
"Remain calm, I am not your enemy."
The guard was beginning to panic, he was very high off the ground, supported only by the odd, gravity-defying elf who held him captive. He refused to stop struggling, and at risk of dropping him, Fractal was forced to knock the guard out with a well-placed, telepathic strike aimed directly at his consciousness. The guard fell limp in his arms, immediately beginning to snore.
Fractal looked over the sleeping guard back down at the man, who now successfully made it inside. Relaxing, Fractal set the guard down on the limb of a nearby tree, before quietly following the man, observing him from a distance by following the neural signal that all living things seemed to constantly admit while they were alive.
<Zanark City: Southern Sector>
"Maxim! Sir!"
Maxim snapped his head to the side, seeing one of the soldiers waving for his attention.
"We've got the location, apparently this Raiku guy lives in an abandoned estate a few blocks up ahead!"
"Good work! Let's go check the lead!"
Maxim directed the two men with him to follow, leading them both towards the front of an old, ruined mansion. The two men with him immediately pressed themselves against opposite sides of the door.
"Lay low... let's not bust any doors until we know he's here."
Maxim crept along the side of the mansion, raising his head up and looking into the glass.

Ruined Mansion
In the midst of cleaning the table with the help of some of the children, Raiku brought his head up as if he had sensed something, and the aura it brought sounded danger to his senses.
"Kids, stay here. Do not move from this spot." Raiku told the children who were still in the dining room before he left to check, while avoiding being spotted, he noticed that there were soliders from the Gewehr army, however, much to his shock and panic, Lola who seemed to have noticed the people outside and innocently obvlious to who they really were was opening the door.
"Lola! No! Those people aren't friendly!" Raiku shouted and sheilded the young girl when she had opened the door, he turned around to face the soliders. "What are members of Gewehr doing in this neck of the woods? The Slums have nothing of intrest to you." Raiku asked.
Lola had hidden behind Raiku, relaizing just how frightening they actually were with their armour and guns. "Who are they...? They're scary..." Lola shivered.
Zanark Castle
Crest sneaked through the hallways, making sure not to be detected, considering the person he keeps hearing was in trouble, he guessed that the person must be in the dungeons, and that was where he was heading right now.
After some looking and even more sneaking, he found the stone staircase that led downwards, which must be the location of the dungeons in this castle.
He looked to one side to the desk with the prison guard, sleeping on the job with the keys just laying there waiting to be taken.
He quietly sneaked over to the desk and gently and slowly got the keys and made sure not to awake the guard.
Once the key was in possession, he went down the stairs that led to the many dungeon cells.
"Wow, so this is where all those who comitted crimes come to when captured. Good thing I never got captured." Crest commented. He walked along the cells until he came to a mysterious looking person in one of the cells who...well...looked like shouldn't be here at all.
"Hey...Can you hear me?" Crest called out, hoping to get the cloaked person's attention.
The cloaked person seemed to heard this and their head snapped upwards immediately.
"...Who...are you?" A young female voice called out from the hood that covered her head in darkness, especially in this dim light.
"You're a girl?!" Crest blinked for moment before gaining his composure. "I should have figured, it sounded like a girl voice when I started hearing voices in my head." Crest sighed.
"...?! Did you...hear my plea?" The girl asked.
"Ah...yeah? I take it you were the one who was buzzing in my head, right?" Crest answered with a question of his own.
"I'm so happy! Someone heard me! I was beginning to lose hope after using telepathy for the last day and half." The girl sounded joyful and stood up.
"Damn, you've been in that postion for a day and half? That sounds tiring." Crest cringed, that sounded painful to have been sitting in that postion and using something called 'Telepathy' over and over again for a whole day.
"Can you please help me? I've been falsely accused of attempting to steal a relic of the Zanark Royal Family treasury. All I did was request the king to hand over the relic in order to prevent a terrible tragedy from occuring. I never wanted to steal it." The girl explained.
"Ah, so that's what happened, huh? I guess I can help out, I mean after all, I might as well after coming all this way to find out where the voice was coming from." Crest shurgged. He placed the key into the cell door and unlocked it, allowing it open and allow the girl access to freedom.
The cloaked girl exited the cell and turned to her savior. "Thank you so much for helping me. I'm so grateful. Allow me to introduce myself," She bowed in respect before pulling down the hood to reveal her true face.
"...!! You're an Elf! What's an Elf doing in a prison?" Crest took a step back in shock, he didn't know the girl was an native Elf from one of the most remote and isolated countries in Elyansia.
"Are you surprised? My name is Farune Glendall, but it is easier to call me Faru. I am the crowned Princess of the Elves." Faru introduced herself politely.
"A Elven Princess? Wow, the royal family of Zanark is REALLY losing their regal touch if they're throwing foreign royalties into jail." Crest whistled.
"I do not remember the king of Zanark being like that though when I last visited him, he was a very noble man who only wanted what's best for his people. Something must have bewitched his mind and caused him to think I was a thief." Faru shook her head.
"Hmm...Now that I think about it, the rumors about a upcoming war could be related to what's happening to the king. If what you say is true, then what could cause such a change in a short amount of time?" Crest asked.
"I beleive that this is the work of the Loire Ragnarok Tear, one of the ten that was given by the Goddess to protect them from evil hands." Faru looked determined.
"Ah...Ragnarok...Tears? Well, anyway, I've saved you now so now I can leave, right?" Crest tilited his head but decided to ignore it, after all, it wasn't his problem.
"Wait! I have a feeling that out of all the people who could have heard my plea, you were the only one who acted upon it. You must have been brought here by fate to help." Faru added.
"I don't beleive in fate though, Princess. Besides, it's not like your defense-less." Crest shook his head and pointed to her staff.
"There is only so little I can do by myself and I relaize now I cannot do this just by myself. Won't you help me at least until we get the Tear and escape this castle? After that, I promise, you won't have to help me again." Faru made a deal with him after explaining her reasons for her request for his aid.
"...Well...Alright, I'll help you a little while longer, after that though, we go seperate ways, deal?" Crest sighed in defeat.
"Agreed." Faru smiled. "Thank you so much....uh, what is your name, if I am allowed to ask?" Faru thanked but relaized that she didn't even know the name of the person before her.
"Oh yeah, kinda forget to introduce myself. I'm Crest Faile, the Midnight Thief of Loire, at your service." Crest winked.
"...Nice to meet you, Mr. Faile." Faru bowed again in respect.
"Ah...you can call me just Crest, you know. Being called 'Mr' makes me sound old." Crest commented.
"Oh...alright then. So then, shall we leave this place and look for the location of where the Loire Ragnarok Tear could be hidden, Crest?" Faru asked.
"Sure, let's rock." Crest nodded and they both exited the dungeon floor while making sure not to get spotted by anyone.

~Zanark City *The Slums*~
While walking around the slums, the Elderly man notices suspicious figures in front of the Ruined Mansion he dropped off the drunk man over a few hours ago. He stopped and hid himself from a distance to spy on the soldiers in suspicious uniforms.
"Oh no. There are children in there... Those boys are running a great place for them, I can't let these soldiers tear it down!"
Raiku presented himself by the door shielding a little girl. All of a sudden the elderly man had a cold feeling struck him in the chest. He senses something dangerous about to happen. Out of impulse, the Elderly man sprints across the street and grabs Raiku and the girl.
" Get inside! Run!" - Elderly Man
He pulls them in and closes the door, and attempts to lock it.
" I know you don't know me, but I came by earlier and dropped off a guy in need. I realized what a great place you guys are running and doing for these children, and I can't let these guys hurt any one of you. I have a strong feeling those soldiers are going to tear this place apart. You gather up all the kids and anyone in the building, and leave out the back. I'll hold them off!" - Elderly Man
~Zanark City *Middle Plate*~
Daisuke and Etsuko are shopping in a nearby weaponry and item shop. Daisuke is about to pay for the items he just recently bought, and put down the paper of Eiichi on the counter of the cashier.
"Oh are you looking for this guy?" - Cashier
"Yeah, he's my father. My friend is trying to find him and I'm helping her out. So far we've had no luck. This city is huge..." - Daisuke
"He bought some items a while ago and he said he was going to go back to the inn in the lower plate. I remember him because he was incredibly nice to us by giving us extra change." - Cashier
"Oh wow. How lucky, thanks a lot." - Daisuke
He pays the amount for the items he just purchased and put it in his backpack. He left and grabbed Etsuko and told her that his old man was in the lower plate. They started walking lower into the slums of Zanark City.

.:Zanark City, a street near the square:.
The person who made the first move was Kuro. He whipped out a couple of shurikens and threw them directly at the figure. As soon as he did, both of them, Kuro and the figure, jumped into the air at the same time and clashed, Kuros short-sword that he took out at a very fast pace and the figures axe. Hanaiko sighed and ran forwards to catch the figure as he came down. When the figure finally came down, with a cut from Kuros blast, Hanaiko slashed at the wounded figure on the floor. To his amazement the figure very quickly defended himself with his axe and regained his smile.
Damn you. Hanaiko grunted, being overwhelmed by the strength of this person.
Kuro started to run towards Hanaiko, to try and save him but as he approached him, Hanaiko shouted.
Im ok. Hanaiko reassured Kuro. After he said that, he managed to break away from the lock of weapons and regain his stance.
The figure stood up, his hood had fallen down and revealed a face. Kuro first looked up at the face and saw that the figure had red eyes and a bald head, apart from that the face was very messed up and disfigured.
I recognised him!
Hanaiko thought to himself.

<Zanark City: Castle>
When they began to backtrack, coming the way Crest entered, they would have come across a pair of unconscious guards in one of the rooms Crest had to pass through to find Faru. Both guards were unconscious, dazing as if they had merely fallen asleep beside one another, their spears stacked in a neat pile against a corner of the room. At about this time, another guard entered, seeing the unconscious men, and Crest standing in front of their former prisoner. He opened his mouth to shout out and raise an alarm, but an armored elf dropped from the ceiling, defying gravity and floating upside down; he wrapped one hand around the guard's neck, placing the other on his forehead to secure it. A light, electrical shock seemed to leap from his hands into the head of the man, quickly and quietly knocking him out. The elf then righted himself, moving the sleeping soldier over and laying him neatly beside the other two.
When Fractal noticed that he had been seen, he seemed to stare at them, the glowing eye markings on the band of metal covering his real eyes seemingly piercing through Crest and Faru, analyzing them, estimating their abilities based on their bodies. His gaze seemed to focus mostly on Faru, analyzing the abilities of her mind, and eventually coming to the conclusion she was the source of the psychic signal. A moment passed, before the elf wordlessly righted himself, allowing his feet to finally touch the ground, he spoke with a cold, efficient demeanor, his monotone voice carrying with it a sense of machine-like efficiency.
"Please continue your escape, I will eliminate any threats the guards ahead possess to your departure."
Fractal began to levitate again, flowing backwards into the hallway ahead before again vanishing from sight.
<Ruined Mansion>
Maxim could see Raiku inside approaching the door, and recognizing him, barked out a command.
"It's him! Breach the door!"
Maxim immediately fell back, standing in the middle of the street in front of the mansion and attaching a flare to the muzzle of his rifle. When he pulled teh trigger, a loud 'ploomph' sounded, and the flare rocketed skywards, bursting into a large, very visible red fizzle, able to be seen for kilometers around. The rest of the soldiers throughout the city immediately moved in reaction to the signal, coming to where the red flare was launched from.
Maxim immediately returned to the door, when it was slammed shut and locked on him, he grabbed his pistol, which was loaded with live rounds, and simply shot the lock, breaking it and allowing himself and the other two soldiers to easily barge inside.
"Raiku! You are under arrest as an enemy combatant!"
The other two soldiers lowered their rifles, both loaded with the special, rubber bullets, while Maxim cocked his pistol, setting it away in its holster.
"Come peacefully, and we will treat you accordingly, resist, and you will be given the same treatment as any other breaker of the law."

Zanark City: Castle
The entire encounter with the strange magi-tech looking Elf took both Crest and Faru by surprise after a few minutes, they finally managed to speak.
"What the hell just happen?" Crest asked.
"I...am not quite sure. Did he not come with you?" Faru asked.
"No way, I never even seen him before, why was he here? Bah, anyway, do you have any idea where this tear could be? I mean, it's obviously in a place that's very secured."
"Hmm, the Ragnarok Tears are extremely dangerous to be seen or kept in public view, perhaps it's in one of the turrents." Faru answered.
"Then that's our next location. C'mon." Crest nodded and they went down towards the inner parts of the castle to find a staircase that went up to one of the many turrents. They just needed to find the right one...
Ruined Mansion
"Come peacefully, and we will treat you accordingly, resist, and you will be given the same treatment as any other breaker of the law."
"Hmph, I know you. You're Maxim Cordite, the 'grand' so called leader of Gewehr. I feel honoured that you would come over here just to capture little ol' me." Raiku replied sarcasticly.
"Answer me this, Maxim, you know that I have not done anything, yet you want to arrest me. If it's information about a certain item, I'm afraid you came all this way for nothing, because I ain't telling ya anything." Raiku scoffed.
"However, I have a better idea. I know you Maxim, you were the one responsible for the 'Cluvern Massercre', where you slaughtered all those innocent people, even children. So, here's my deal, if you promise me that you will not harm these children or this elderly man; then I will come with you peacefully. Although don't expect me to tell you a thing, because my lips are sealed." Raiku answered.
"Please don't take Raiku away! He means everything to us!" Lola begged Maxim, teary-eyed in fear of all the guns and the man before her.

Maxim was a bit surprised he was recognized, and in response, clicked the latches securing his helmet in place. He removed the piece of headgear, dropping it on the floor. When the Cluvern massacre was mentioned, he only narrowed his eyes, not saying a thing, letting him finish his little speech. He ignored the cries of the young girl nearby, waiting for Raiku to fall silentm before picking his rifle up, calmly walking to Raiku, and slamming the butt of the gun hard into where his neck met his shoulder to drop him to the ground. Giving Raiku a moment to recover, Maxim spoke.
"The people of Cluvern were never massacred. If you read the official report submitted to the nations of the world concerning my attack... you would find they were resisting the technological development of Gewehr, and of the world as a whole. The minerals underneath their town were invaluable in the development of all sciences, and yet, their people so selfishly refused to allow us to even approach their city..."
Maxim sneered, knowing full well the minerals in question were just a good excuse for him to level Cluvern to the ground. He knew well beforehand they would refuse his 'peaceful negotiations', and he knew that Zanark's officials would desire the military power he promised them if he was allowed to take the minerals by force; Maxim knew what he did was nothing more than a government-sanctioned extermination. He waved his hand to gesture to the other soldiers, and they both immediately entered a shooting stance, aiming their weapons at the old man, the only other one they felt might be a threat.
"Cluvern was populated entirely with enemy combatants, it isn't against the laws of war to kill an enemy. No crime was ever committed, only a victory. You too are officially an enemy combatant, Raiku, I have the right and consent of Loire's governing body, to put a bullet between your eyes anytime I wish. I strongly suggest you choose your words more wisely in the future... after all, it would be a shame to put all these people out on the street without you to take care of them..."
After Maxim finished speaking, the other soldiers readied themselves to fire.
"Nobody move, or we will shoot... Maxim, you need the cuffs?"
One of the soldiers briefly lowered his rifle, reaching to his hip and pulling out a metal cable, throwing it to Maxim. He caught it, and bent over to secure Raiku's hands together. It was also about this time the other soldiers began to arrive. Fukiya was last through the door, wiping her brow.
"Maxim, you got it in here?"
"Everything's under control, nice and clean."

The elderly man saw Maxim abounto cuff Raiku with the metal cords. Once Maxim kneeled down he pulled out a staff and castes a wind spell to make an attempt to blow away Maxim away from Raiku. He the. pushed Raiku to give him ahead start to escape.
"Raiku run! Now!!" - Elderly Man

Zanark City, Church
Symon had finished his duties in the church, however the sense of dread from earlier did not leave him and now he wonders if he was getting paranoid.
"Symon, what's wrong? You look sick."
Symon turned around and his gaze met with an elder woman with a kind smile. "Mother... No, I'm fine."
Laura Sainte smiled but still had a worried look on her face, "Are you sure? maybe you should head home and lie down."
Symon shook his head, "It's alright, mother. I..err... have to be somewhere."
Laura sighed, "Same as always. I wish you would tell me where this 'somewhere' is. I am your mother, you know. But still, if you have to go, be sure to stay safe."
Symon smiled, "I will, mother. See you back at home." Waving his mother goodbye, Symon left the church and made his back to the slums.
A little while later...
Making his way to the mansion, Symon walked as fast as he could. He couldn't explain why, but he hoped the dread haunting him had nothing to do with Raiku. Along the way, Symon overheard people talking, something about the Zanark military being in the slums. Symon immediately felt something pulling his gut, "Oh no..."
Upon reaching the entrance, Symon's worst fears were confirmed. "Raiku...!"

<Zanark City: Ruined Mansion>
The instant Maxim was pushed back, the sound of gunfire began to echo through the mansion, non-lethal rubber bullets sailing through the air and peppering the man's chest. The soldiers also opened fire on Symon, rubber bullets zipping by, aimed for his body. Although in theory, completely non-lethal, capable at most of a very stinging bruise; the rubber bullets did not judge the young from the old, and were still powerful enough to break the bones of an older, more frail man.
Fukiya dropped down to pull Maxim back behind the firing line, but he immediately stood back up, pulling his hand back to signal the cease fire. The rifles remained at level, ready to fire again at the drop of a hat.
"Now! Raiku, I suggest you surrender immediately, you've done enough damage!"
Maxim advanced again, this time taking a more brisk walk and roughly forcing Raiku's hands behind his back to try and tie the cables around his wrist.

Ruined Mansion
Symon had no idea what happened. He had merely called out Raiku's name and the soldiers present there had opened fire on him, causing him to fall to the ground. Although not seriously injured, the rubber bullets had inflicted great pain on Symon's body. Symon had recognized the uniforms, they were Zanark military. Symon had attended a military ceremony once and was familiar with them.
Wincing from the pain, Symon tried to stand up. Despite the fact that his hood had fallen off, he could care less about hiding his appearance. Even more so since the military had assaulted an old man. Glaring at the man who is trying to tie Raiku up, Symon shouted, "I am Father Symon Sainte! Who the hell are you, and why are you here?!"

~Zanark City *The Slums*~
The flare has been shot above the city, where Etsuko and Daisuke had clearly seen it.
"Oooh! Fireworks! Come on let's go check it out!" - Etsuko
Etsuko grabs Daisuke and starts dragging him where the flare has been shot.
"HEY HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! THIS IS NO TIME FOR FIREWORKS!" - Daisuke
~Zanark City *Ruined Mansion*~
Etsuko drags him in the middle of the ruined mansion where there were a crowd of people hidden inside. As they walked through they peered through the window of the mansion, the elderly man has been shot through the chest. Having him fall down to the ground, blood leaking everywhere. At that momeny, Daisuke's eyes had widened.
"EIICHI!" - Daisuke
Daisuke jumps through the window leaving Etsuko outside and passing by Maxim and Fukiya and kneeling down next to his father.
"Dad! Dad what happened?!" - Daisuke
The elderly man looked up and can barely see through the blur, but finally sees his son through his own eyes.
"Daisuke...? You're in Zanark City? You looking for your blood parents again?" - Eiichi
Daisuke begins to sob and holding Eiichi in his arms, his adoptive father.
"Daisuke, I tried to save these kind people, from these soldiers... I believe they are after those tears I told you about, before... Listen Daisuke, those tears are drenched with dreadful power... Don't let anyone use them..." - Eiichi
"Shut up dad! The more you talk the more you-" Daisuke
Eiichi interrupts him midway through his sentence.
"Daisuke... I know you aren't my real son, but I always loved you like one... Believe in yourself, and always have trust in your power.... You are gifted... I love..." - Eiichi
Eiichi's voice starts to fade and disappears. His pupils faded to white and his head fell back into Daisuke's arms. Daisuke hugs the corpse of his adoptive father and begins to cry. After a while, he looks up at Maxim with rage in his eyes. He let's go of the corpse of Eiichi and two swords have been summoned to his hands, and starts to charge blindly at Maxim, screaming in rage.

Kia Englehart ~ Ruined Mansion
Kia walked halfway into their guests room and paused, observing the older man from afar. He didnt like the idea of having this man in his home, but then, he couldnt just leave him out in the streets of the slums either. When he was about to step closer to the unconscious man, a sudden racket outside caused him to jump and his heart nearly skipped a beat. Knowing fully what the sound was, he immediately bolted out the room and down the hallways to the dining room.
Damn, I hope the children are all right!
Kia thought and his hand caught the edge of the doorframe of the dining room. The children were huddled together and hiding underneath the table. Tears flowed freely from their eyes and their whimpering cries increased when they saw Kia at the entrance.
Kia, Im scared! they cried and tried to crawl out of their hiding places, Wheres Raiku? Is he okay?
Stay where you guys are! Kia said firmly and the children froze, remaining in their hiding places in the room, Ill go find Raiku, just stay where you are!
After that, Kia rushed back to the main hall where the entrance to the mansion was. Several shots rang out through the manor while he ran and that only fueled more of his worries, as well as sparking a bit of anger inside his chest. He knew that the gunfire would cause the children to become more scared and at that thought, his anger grew. As he turned the corner and entered the main hall, Kias pale yellow eyes widened as the Zanark soldiers started firing their guns at the elderly man within the room and at someone outside.
Kia was frozen in place for a moment, unable to move from the sight before him of the elderly man dying. Though, when their leader advanced briskly forward to Raiku and cuffed him, Kia was finally to gather strength into his legs and pulled out his tanto from the holster strapped against his waist.
Rushing toward Raiku and the Zanark soldier, Kia held the tantostill inside in its scabbardbehind him, letting it trail back as he ran swiftly. Like the man with the twin swords that had also rushed at the soldier from the elderly man's side, Kia swung his tanto as if it were truncheon weaponnot intending to unsheathe itwhen he was close enough to the Zanark soldier, intending to get him away from the drakonite. With anger building up inside Kia, he didn't notice the other soldiers behind the older man.
