npm module for A2P3
Register as a user
Create a CLI Agent at Setup and save the
device value
npm install a2p3
cd node_modules/a2p3
Edit the config.json file and edit the
appID and
name for as appropriate
npm run-script register
When installed, a default
config.json file is created in
node_modules/a2p3 if one does not already exist. This file shold be copied up into your application directory and the
device parameter must be inserted.
register.js script will use the values in
config.json to register the app with
appID and
name at the Registrar, and registers the app at the configured
resources (defaults to all resource servers - Email, SI, Health and People) and saves all the keys and key IDs into
vault.json. See the vault.json section for more details. You should keep the contents of your
vault.json file secret!
A config.json file configures how
register.js will generate the
vault.json file, and configures
a2p3. Looked at the
register.js source to see other defaults that can be changed for more complex development environments.
vault.json file has the keys and key IDs for the Identifier Exchange (obtained when registering the App at the Registrar) and for any Resource Server. Here is a sample file:
The easy way to generate a vault.json file is to use the
register.js script.
If you change the
appid or
resources in your
config.json file, you can generate a new
vault.json file
node node_modules\a2p3\setup\register.js config.json
This assumes config.json is in the current directory.
This command will generate a new
vault.json file in the current directory for you assuming all went well.
Creates an Agent Request using the values in
vault and the supplied
params object with the following properties:
returnURL or
callbackURL: where the Agent will return results for the Agent Request. If
returnURL, the Agent will send back results via a redirected GET. If
callbackURL, the Agent will POST the results to the URL as a JSON message. REQUIRED.
resources: an array of resources the application would like authorization from the User to access. OPTIONAL
var a2p3 = config = vault = params = returnURL = 'http://localhost:8080' resources = 'https://email.a2p3.net/scope/default' 'https://people.a2p3.net/scope/namePhoto' var agentRequest = a2p3
Helper routine that generates 16 bytes of random data encoded as a URL safe base 64 string.

Detectable <40
Mar 8, 2009
I am rather confused. For a number of years my VL has been undetectable <40. Today I was told it was detectable <40. If 40 is the "cut off point" for the equipment measuring how can it be detectable <40? I hope my question makes sense. Do I need to be concerned? Does this mean my meds are failing? Thanks
Response from Dr. Holodniy
No, your meds are not failing and I would not be concerned. The difference in interpretation is a semantic one. Undetectable below 40 does not mean zero. It means that the variability around 40 is such that you cannot give a credible result below 40.

As you know, I'm an ice cream fanatic. I eat the creamy, sugary goodness at least twice a week, sometimes more.
Brusters Real Ice Cream is my absolute favorite, followed by Ben & Jerry's and Maggie Moo's, but I like Stewart's well enough (and I love talking with their "cow" on Facebook). Not only does Stewart's have a nice selection of flavors, they're far more affordable than any of the aforementioned scoop shops.
You can have a sundae, or a cone, at any Stewart's for less than the price of a gallon of gas.
Or, if you go on Thursday and wear green, you can have a cone for two quarters.
That's right, wear green and 50 cents will get you a single cone filled with any of their locally made flavors. If you're looking for a suggestion, go with the chocolate peanut butter. You can never go wrong with PB (minus the J).

When I handed mom the therapy doll, I was casual. Making a big production might be overwhelming and lead her to reject it. However, from the minute she saw the doll, I could tell she was captivated.
By +Nancy Wurtzel
+Alzheimer's Reading Room
Those of us who are Alzheimer's caregivers are used to seeing abilities ebb away. My mom -- whom we call Mummy -- was once a highly social person who always had to stay busy. Cooking and baking were her passions, and so were endless games of cards with family and friends.
However, those days are long past.
As the disease progressed, Mummy's personality and abilities changed. Much of what defined her as a person has simply disappeared. Now, my sisters and I struggle to find activities to engage Mummy, something that brings a purpose into her life.
I'd read about doll therapy for those with Alzheimer's disease. When my mom's friend died recently, that left an empty space at the table for meals and an empty place in Mummy's life.
Was this the right time to try some doll therapy?
I went online to do some research.
The thought is to slowly introduce a life-like baby doll into the Alzheimer's person's world. Some sites suggest leaving the doll in a neutral location and have the person discover it for him or herself, although I'm not convinced this is always necessary.
Once introduced, many Alzheimer's people, especially women, but some men as well, will enjoy rocking and cuddling the doll and may even "adopt" it as their own.
Anecdotal research has also shown that doll therapy can sometimes be calming to people who have agitation as a result of the disease.
However, I also read that not every person takes to a therapy doll, and it is best accepted by women (and some men) in the earlier stages of the disease.

Since my mom is probably in the latter stages, I wondered if she could bond with a therapy doll. Would the doll be a nuisance? Would she see it as a burden, thereby defeating the whole purpose? Was this a good idea?
I didn't know.
What I did know is that my mom has always loved babies. With that in mind, I went online and ordered a moderately-priced doll and a few accessories.
A week later, the doll had arrived, and I had to admit she was cute and cuddly.
When I handed mom the therapy doll, I was casual. Making a big production might be overwhelming and lead her to reject it. However, from the minute she saw the doll, I could tell she was captivated.
The look on mom's face was one of nostalgia and love.
With watery eyes and a sweet smile, Mummy looked up at me and said, "Well, I'll be darned."
It was a tender moment.
Dating Dementia.
Since then, Mummy and her doll have become nearly inseparable.
The baby doesn't require anything other than love and affection and my mom is giving that in abundance. Mom coddles, kisses, hugs the doll. She carefully wraps and then re-wraps the baby blanket. She shows the doll to visitors -- pointing and saying, "The little girl."
Mummy and her doll are living and loving in the moment.
Baby Doll, as I call her, has reinforced something I already knew but had never put into words. The instinct to show affection is strong.
We humans need affection from others and we need to return that love and kindness. Baby Doll doesn't require anything from my mom other than affection.
In return, the doll brings comfort. Comfort to a woman who is nearing the end of her life. Comfort to an Alzheimer's person who is almost totally dependent on others to provide for her. Comfort to a person who deep down is still a mother.
I'm not sure if Mummy realizes Baby Doll is indeed a doll. I've explained it to her, but she ignores me when I bring up the subject.
Does it matter?
Whatever my mom believes, Baby Doll has made a positive impact and has been more successful than I ever imagined. When I think about it, doll therapy makes perfect sense.
After all, don't we all need a sweet Baby Doll in our life?

Cottage Rentals is better than Hotels, here's why
In my career I have had more than my fair share of hotel and motel experiences. I have vacationed with and without my family, and have used hotels for business over the years. I never really felt at home in a hotel. My sleeping patterns challenged, no matter how nice the amenities, the hotel never really made me feel like I was "at home". At the time, it didn't really matter to me, as I was away on business, and it was one or two nights. Yet as the years went by, I asked myself the same question? Why? Why do I feel more relaxed in a private cottage than in a luxurious hotel? In travelling with the family, and especially with all the kids, that question would creep up more and more, why? Then one day, as I was sitting down by the water, reading the local newspaper, it hit me, "you feel more at home in a home, than in a hotel room." This is how I came to be an owner of my own cottage, and decided to start sharing it with other families as a rental option.
Now, don't misunderstand. Hotels definitely have a purpose for the business type. Short stays, clean linens, beds made, fresh towels, great television, mini bar fridge, room service…pick up the phone, make a call, and BOOM! Someone is there to help you. When you are in a rush and have a schedule that is filled with business purpose, the last thing you want to worry about is plumbing or wifi connections. Vacations are different for different folks. Singles and young couples are looking for action and excitement.
Family vacations are not the same. You are on a budget, and you are there to relax. You don't want line ups to eat, or weird food you can't pronounce. You want to throw a line off the dock and maybe catch something. You want to leave your possessions by the water without the fear of theft. You want to eat on your schedule, not someone else's. You want to bring your own food and minimise your expenses. You don't want to tip every time you have a need. You want to do your laundry without having to shell out another $20.00 in quarters and detergent. You want to canoe without having to sign up for everything. You don't want to HAVE TO make reservations every time you need to eat or have a cocktail. Essentially, you want something at YOUR PACE and YOUR TASTE.
And what about the crowds, are they not more stressful on your vacation, than on the TTC Subway? Seriously, you anticipate being a sardine in the core of Toronto or Montreal when you are headed to work. When you are away with the family, do you really want to be stuck in a line up, crammed in a bus, on a plane, or in a stuffy airport where a bottle of water is the same cost as 2 cases of water back home?
You can always have a special night out in town and have a nice meal to pamper yourselves when you rent cottage. You can even have food delivered in many instances to relax and let someone else cook. Chances are that type of "room service" is not going to cost you the "Room Service" rate of dining.
And when you bring your own linens and pillows from your own home, it's just like that favourite pair of jeans, you just can't throw away….cuz they fit like a glove and you love them. Cottage remind your home, wherever you are, gives you a sense of safety and warmth that no other crisp, white, and starched hotel linens can ever do. The familiar smells and feels of a home, coupled with the sounds of nature and lapping waters, will bring you to a serenity that is unmatched by any crowded and impersonal hotel. Forcing yourself to migrate away from the television, the internet, the laptop, the work….will force you to spend real quality time with your family. Those are the memories that are truly special that cost very little by comparison.

John Shea reporting from Minute Maid Park . . .
Chris Young was the man of the hour for the A's, his three-run homer in the ninth sinking the Astros 6-5 and keeping Oakland's perfect record intact against the American League newcomers. It's 7-0.
But, man, there were some good times in the ninth inning on the A's infield. While Grant Balfour was nailing down his 28th consecutive save, 10th this season, there were some smiles behind him.
Adam Rosales had exited for a pinch-hitter, and Jed Lowrie was shelved with a sore foot.
So . . .
First baseman Brandon Moss was at third for the first time in his big-league career.
Third baseman Josh Donaldson was making his major-league debut at shortstop.
And catcher John Jaso was making his second career appearance at first base.
"Put me at second base," center fielder Coco Crisp was saying after the game. "I started out (my career) at second."
To which reliever Jerry Blevins said, "In 1991."
There was no need for a different second baseman. Eric Sogard was the only infielder at home, and he made the first play of the inning, throwing out Trevor Crowe.
Balfour walked the next two batters. Then sturck out Robbie Grossman.
Up stepped Jose Altuve, the Astros' best player. He grounded sharply to shortstop.
Uh oh.
No worries.
Donaldson made a clean play and threw to second for the force.
Even though it was a one-run game with the potential tying run at second, the players seemed relaxed on foreign soil.
"We were all excited and happy, all switching positions," Jaso said. "We were having a good time with it. It's kind of nice having a fun, loose situation like that."
Fun and loose might not have been how Balfour would describe it.
Moss didn't have a ball hit his way, but he was quite vocal afterward, saying he had full confidence in himself, having borrowed Rosales' glove.
Last year at Triple-A Sacramento, he said, he had asked then-manager Darren Bush to play third. Bush wouldn't let him. So tonight, Moss was saying, "Now I'm a big-league third baseman. Book that."

Ex-President Burrus's open letter "To APWU Members" on the proposed APWU contract:
The union negotiators have performed their constitutional duties in finalizing a tentative agreement for your decision. This decision will shape postal employment for decades far into the future. The benefits received for efforts involved in postal employment have accumulated over 200 years, with each generation of employees making its contribution leading to those received to date. Our ability to provide housing, food, transportation, medical care, raising our children and all of the other benefits that we receive through our employment have been secured on our behalf through past efforts. Can you imagine how your life would have changed if we had decided 30 years ago to exchange your wages for other contractual entitlements?
Those union leaders including Stu Filbey, Moe Biller, John Richards, Jerry Monzillo, Doug Holbrook, myself and many others made significant contributions in the 1970's when we struck illegally, jeopardizing our own employment, but we set the stage for collective bargaining that has led to the conditions now enjoyed with each generation looking beyond their present needs. The same is expected of this generation on behalf of those who will follow. This tentative agreement will turn back the clock and erase those years of struggle.
Notwithstanding the rationalization, if this contract is ratified, future employees will suffer reductions in pay of more than $300 per pay, more than $600 per month and over $8,000 per year. Over a 30 year career these losses will exceed more than $250,000 and will continue into retirement, when the annuity includes the salary reductions. In total, each employee hired after the date of this contract will receive over $300,000 less for performing the same work. Can you imagine why postal management would agree to non economic changes if they can succeed in lowering wages in this amount? The result will be over $1.5 billion per year transferred from the pay of APWU employees to USPS future health care cost, supervisor bonuses or any other expenditure that management chooses. After benefiting directly from the contributions of the preceding generations, you are now being called upon to determine the future of those who will follow? Ironically they may be your son or daughter. Supervisors, managers, letter carriers and mail handlers are not controlled by this decision and will continue to receive the salaries that they fought for over the years.
Contract negotiations are never easy and this negotiations presented special challenges so I commend the union negotiators for their efforts. The uncertainty of arbitration imposes the fear that it could be worse, but if one is convinced that the Postal Service and its employees are not responsible for the Congressionally imposed deficits, what justification exists to impose these costs on future employees? Either we believe the union propaganda regarding the USPS' financial position and rate discounts or we silently agree with our detractors who say that we are overpaid. If we believe that we deserve the fruits of our past struggles why would we voluntarily agree to erase years of progress?
The APWU has deferred 5 previous contracts to arbitration and no prior decision has imposed the level of wage reduction now being considered. The most negative arbitration decision in postal history imposed the creation of 2 additional Steps with full continuation through the then existing pay scale. In the most recent arbitration decision (2000), Arbitrator Goldberg ruled that it was not the responsibility of the employees to satisfy USPS financial difficulties.
It is now time for a decision and it would be inappropriate to place blame. I am sure that president Guffey and his team applied their best judgment but it is the individual member who is left to decide. Do you cast a vote that provides your own personal satisfaction, or do you consider the affect of the $300.000 reductions that will be imposed on each future employee? Do you resign APWU designated postal employment to the Fast Food, Walmart wage category or fight to continue it as a means of achieving a middle class lifestyle? The basic concept of a union is to combine efforts to achieve common objectives. This purpose is betrayed if current APWU members determine that future postal employees should not achieve the same rewards for their efforts.
I have been honored to have the opportunity to devote over 50 years of my professional life to improving conditions for postal employees and as a full dues paying member and on behalf of future employees I would vote No. Future APWU members are deserving of the same rewards for their efforts. That is the true meaning of a union, giving justification to the terms "My Brother, My Sister."
In Solidarity with all postal employees, past, present and future,
William Burrus
President Emeritus

Sun Airway's New Music Video for "Put the Days Away," Album Pre-Order and CMJ Live PerformancesPosted by Lucy on October 13th, 2010
Dead Oceans would like to present the official music video for Sun Airway's "Put the Days Away," directed by Ricardo Rivera of KLIP Collective.
Night has fallen upon Philadelphia, and our heroine is making her way through the streets on her bicycle. Something is wrong, and the sight of happy couples are certainly not helping. She arrives home, soaked from the rain and begins to put the day away. Her unconscious mind becomes animated for us, a gorgeous combination of visual projections previously seen for Sun Airway's "Oh, Naoko," "Infinity," and "Waiting On You."
Sun Airway's upcoming album, Nocturne of Exploded Crystal Chandelier, will be released on October 26th in North America and is now available for pre-order at SC Distribution. All pre-orders include an instant MP3 download of the entire album.

After three weeks of pain and hard work led to a historic first win in the Tour de France, Bradley Wiggins and his British teammates could be forgiven for treating themselves to some good times at their lavish retreat in Surrey.
But there's no time to get carried away. The road race is Saturday, and the cyclists have one goal: propelling world champion Mark Cavendish to gold and giving Britain its first Olympic title of the London Games.
A bookmakers' favorite, Cavendish wants to add the Olympic title to the gold medal he won at the world championships last year. He says the British squad is like a "dream team."

Tiffany - posted on 01/01/2010 ( 22 moms have responded )
Just curious what you're doing with your 3 year old and what he or she is interested in at this point :) Rayne will be turning 3 on Tuesday January 5th. She has been learning how to read and and write letters and she loves to play imaginary games (for example: pretending like the couch is a boat). I've been trying to think of new activities that are fun and will keep her interested because otherwise she gets bored and becomes a handful. Anyone else have that problem?

#13 – Somewhere I'd Like to Move or Visit
Oh wow, that's a tough one. If I was a bazillionaire, I think I would want to live on the island they used to film Mamma Mia (2008). It is Damouchari, Pelion, Greece. Even just visiting there would totally rock. (I know Leann – I totally sound like I'm copying you, but I've wanted to go there ever since I saw the movie!) I lived within sight of the ocean for a bit when I was young, and I really miss the beaches, shoreline, and just that lifestyle in general.
Another possibility is anywhere there is warm weather, amazing beaches, and a laid-back lifestyle. I'm tired of the New England attitude of rushing around like a lunatic.
Since I'm not a bazillionaire, I really can't wait to bring the boys to Disney World. We honeymooned there and had the best time of our lives, and I really just am dying to see the looks on their little faces.
#14 – My Earliest Memory
My earliest memory is of living in a trailer-house with my birth mother when I was around 18 months old. I can actually remember the curtains and bedspreads. I know – some of you are asking how in the hell I can remember that, and the truth is that it was a recurring dream I had in my pre-teen years that my mom verified was true.

Residents of the Placer County area will be well aware of how much of an impact recent storms have had on the area. Several locations within Placer County have had disruptions in their water supply due to the extent of recent rainstorms. Residents might also be aware that the Squaw Valley resort area has been affected by the weather as well. Liesl Kenney, the Public Relations Director for Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, has issued a statement to help inform the public as to their current situation.
Kenney stressed that the safety of guests is paramount. And much of the statement had to do with methods that are being used to ensure the safety and security of guests while still allowing them to have a great time in Squaw Valley. Kenney began by laying out the fact that no guests had been exposed to tainted water. This is in large part due to the swift actions of Squaw Valley when the storms effects first become noticeable. Squaw Valley quickly contacted Placer County Environmental Health and the Squaw Valley Public Service District. They were able to quickly escalate the process of determining just what might be going wrong and the root cause of the problem.
The immediate issue seemed to be due to inundation of a new water system which had been installed during the summer. Of course tracking down the weakest point hit during the storm was only part of the process. From that point Squaw Valley began a water treatment plan to fully purify any and all public facing water supplies.
So far the progress has been quite promising. E. Coli is now totally eliminated from the Squaw Valley water supply. Meanwhile, coliform is still showing up at detectable levels in some of the wells. However, it's showing up at low levels and the treatment is showing promising results.
While the treatment process is ongoing guests will be provided with complimentary bottled water. The amount of water required for cooking means that the restaurant services will need to remain closed for the duration of the water treatment. But other than these small changes, the public should be aware that Squaw Valley is still operating normally. Guests can still look forward to the same fun in a scenic natural landscape that they've always been able to enjoy.


text: A nameless, ambitionless office worker finds his small apartment gradually invaded by three other people: all younger than himself, but seemingly no less adrift. The year is 1986, and the strange communal life of this foursome, extending over half a year, from the end of winter to midsummer, makes up the plot, such as it is, of Plainsong, as this ersatz family finds itself growing closer, and life continues—quietly—around them. Part of the generation that grew to prominence following the success of baby boomers like Haruki Murakami, Kazushi Hosaka's work chronicles the small moments, the moments without conflict, that most novels work to elide. His characters talk, work, exist; their story is one where the tiniest occurrence takes on the proportions of a grand drama.

RIDGEFIELD — Recent mass shootings at a Portland mall and a school in Connecticut prompted the Ridgefield School District to hire armed guards.
Guards from the Spokane-based Phoenix Protective Corp. went to work this week at the district near Vancouver.
The Columbian reports at least two guards will patrol the district's three campuses for the rest of the school year.
The district also is encouraging students to ride school buses so their parents don't drive them. That's intended to reduce the number of adults arriving at a school.
Ridgefield had a police school security officer until the end of 2010, when money for the position ran out.

Three months ago we launched Screenleap to the public with the mission of providing the most fast, simple, and reliable screen sharing product on the planet. Since then we've received feedback from hundreds of users, and found that Screenleap is most commonly used for ad hoc collaboration among a regular set of teammates and friends.
As part of our commitment to simplify screen sharing, and in response to requests for features that help teammates and friends collaborate more effectively, today we're announcing the release of Free User Accounts and Handles (i.e. http://www.screenleap.com/MyName). A handle is a username link that can be provided to friends, or can be bookmarked for recurring meetings. This has been one of our most commonly requested features, and it represents a leap forward towards our vision of making screen sharing more frictionless and user friendly.
Stay tuned, because we'll soon be adding friends lists to Accounts so you can share screens with friends and teammates just by clicking their names like you do with instant messaging.
Claim Your Free Screen Sharing Handle
You can claim your free user handle by signing up using our Hacker News promo. Visit this link: http://www.screenleap.com/signup?referer=hn
Account Login
The Account Login page gives you the option to "Share my screen", which allows you to start a single-use screen sharing session. This is a good option for private screen sessions. Or to "Broadcast my screen", which allows you to start a session visible at www.screenleap.com/MyName. This is a permanent link that your friends can bookmark, but be careful because when you're sharing, anyone with the link can see your screen.
Start a Screen Sharing Session
Click "Broadcast my screen", then be patient and wait a few seconds until the applet permission box pops up. Check "Allow all applets from "www.screenleap.com" with this signature, and then click "Allow". Note, you must have Java installed on your computer to reach this point. Java is not installed by default on Mac Lion. Make sure you have Java installed, otherwise, you will not be able to proceed.
Share Your Screen Sharing Handle
Once you've started broadcasting your screen, you can direct friends and teammates to your personal screen sharing link.
End Your Session
Always be sure to "Stop Sharing" when you've completed your screen sharing session. If your meeting ends and you continue sharing, this could lead to accidentally sharing something you intended to be private.

I want to learn how to do two things:
1. Set up a members only section where members will have to use a user name and password to access.
2. Make online forms so that members can register for events online.
Where do I start to look for help?

Making iPhones is harder than it looks. After delaying shipment of the white iPhone 4 models until "late July," Apple has now announced further delay. The statement reads, "White models of Apple's new iPhone 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected." follow link
Thoughtful, detailed coverage of the Mac, iPhone, and iPad, plus the TidBITS Content Network for Apple consultants.
Apple Delays White iPhone 4 Until "Later This Year"
Huh? There's a lot I don't know about computers, but what's so hard about white? Is this story nonsense to anyone else, or does anyone else understand what's going on behind the scenes here?
This isn't about computers, it's about materials science and manufacturing capabilities. Apple isn't having trouble making the white iPhone function properly; they're having trouble with the materials that comprise the phone's exterior. Exactly what problems those are, they aren't saying, but presumably they're trying to avoid problems with it discoloring or crazing or something similar.
Well, it's "later this year" now. Has anyone heard any new ETA for the white iPhone?

Indeed fits her... except for the whole slitting throats XD
Well that's the problem I'm TRYING to limit the tropes number... but it's hard.6/30/2011 #1,891
@Throwaawy: That is a good idea. Who are going to compile them?
Keiko Emiya
13 years, female.
Rin's daughter.
Dark Red haired, with one or two side tails, Cyan eyes that seem to sparkle in glee or burn in rage. ~155cm and light in build.
Usually favors indigo blue and golden and skirts ans short sleeved blouses, and sometimes wears bloomers and bike shorts instead of panties. Always carry a small stylized silver cross in her waist (With her M24 inside), and wrist-chains (that stores her Heaven & Hell Wings, see below).
She is somewhat between Aloof and easygoing when calm, and Tsundere(A) (specially towards Karin) or Anti-Pervert (only towards her), to Hot or Cold fury (if her family or friends are threatened for some reason). Can be somewhat of a sadist when p*ssed off (or PMSing, some said).
Likes cakes, sweets and music. Loves weapons and explosions! Slightly dislike costumes or frilly clothes as well as restraining clothes. Detest when people underestimate her, but usually plays the role of inoffensive when in a battle (?). Never taunt her about Karin, Never take her weapons, Never ever say you're gonna molest her...
Activation Aria:
I imagine the gun within my soul, the c*ck ready and waiting. Pull the it back, trigger it and let it release deep inside, flooding myself with prana. I am the gun "Action open." my mind is the shooter, "Charge." prana is the shell, "Load." my intent is the trigger. "Fire!" Od shot through my circuits.
Shooting, Weapon crafting, Reinforcement, Runes.
Special Skills:
Rune bullets, Jewel Crafting, Mana Burst.
Mana Break Bullets, Jewel Bullets, Weapon Tracing (Contender)
Typical Arsenal:
JTL-E .500 (pair)
Smith & Wesson's 1911 Auto (pair) (Custom Black & White design, Upgraded calliber (.45 Winchester Magnum) Rune-treated barrel (designed to function as a rail gun and accelerate the bullets)) - Karin dubbed them 'Heaven & Hell Wings'
Contender (Pistol, 30.06, chrome & fiber finish, magically treated armor-piercing bullets, Thermal scope.)
Pfeifer Zeliska (Zel did it, as a birthday present)
M24 (.338 Lapua Magnum, 5 riffling Rune-treated barrel, Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20x50mm M5 scope, engraved metal finish including runes for reinforcement, expanded internal cartridge with 2 extra bullets, black seamless leather sling, built-in silencer with thermal sleeve)
Browning Citori
Grenades.6/30/2011 . Edited 6/30/2011 #1,892
Never survive when she Kills you... or you WILL regret it!
Intimidates people by drawing Zeliska from her Victoria's compartment.
Sometimes shot people with airsoft guns for so much as looking her (Kiri says to avoid her as Dark-Sakura-Kaa when PMSing in these days.)6/30/2011 #1,893
She violently reacts to rapists? And loves guns? I love the girl XD Btw. what do you think about the omake where I gave her a Bolter?6/30/2011 #1,894
@ Hubikoshi: I give you an 11 of 10 for that one, pity it was soo short...
Also she can use the drawing of Zeliska or other gun from her vic's holster (as Karin call it) as a way of teasing people about her assets (Aoshi said once that she made the act of drawing a gun into fetish fuel...)6/30/2011 #1,895
Fufufufu gotta find more targets for the Bolter, and show off some of the nastier ammo. I limited the amount of ammo she has because frankly... Bolter is OVERKILL.
[chuckles] I'm loving her more and more XD And just imagine it, she reaches for the gun, takes it and draws it, and draws it, and draws it
"WOMAN! How long is that gun anyway!!??"
Heh, I have a feeling that if she were to dress up for Halloween she could do Joker from the first Batman movie, the scene where he draws that looooooong gun.6/30/2011 #1,896
...Why are you using GrimDark Warhammer 40k as a gun source, when there's something MUCH more fitting for Keiko to use?
ht tp://www. google. com/search?q=outlaw+star+caster6/30/2011 #1,897
Name (+creator):
Koyuki Emiya (throwaawy)
13-f (School Days); 16-f (Nerima)
Physical: 160cm (5'3") 77b/56w/78h; shoulder-length grey-blue hair, grey eyes
Wardrobe: Commonly wears t-shirts and shorts, with a vest or tank-top over the shirt; ankle-socks and slip-on shoes; chain-link bracelet on her left wrist.
Personality Tropes:
Kuudere (Type 2); Spock Speak; I Want My Beloved to Be Happy; Determinator; An Ice Person/Weak But Skilled
Unfailingly polite for the most part, even to her own family. Is most comfortable around Akitsu, Karin, Keiko, Sakuya, and Shirou (in that order), not-coincidentally these are the family members most likely to provoke an extreme reaction from her. She's most comfortable being led around by her more outgoing siblings, but if she does find a goal she really does want to accomplish for herself, she will become the Determinator. She is socially-inept -- by her own choice -- and is not used to being out in the world without a member of her family to filter everything for her. She has a minor inferiority complex due to her lack of offensive abilities -- especially compared to her mother. She is content to play the role of a support/defence class for her family, but quietly dreams of being a front-line combatant. Strategically inept, but has a good grasp of small-unit tactics and herding opponents using her abilities.
Likes: Family, puppies, being useful, origami, ice cream, snow sculptures
Dislikes: Strangers, sunny days, threats to her family or her Ashikabi
Ranma Saotome (Ranma 1/2)
Affinity: Snow; minor-Ice
Snow Manipulation:
minor action- Freeze moisture in the surrounding air into tiny ice particles and mass them into snow balls
standard action- Range 10 (~15m). Telekinetically impell any available snow (in an area roughly 5 cubic-meters). Opponents hit take damage and are slowed.
Snow Adhesion:
passive- Exactly What it Says on the Tin. Aids in snow collection, opponents who come into contact with the snow are slowed. Also very very useful when making snow sculptures.
Special Attacks:
Icicle Fall: (combination attack)
standard action- Burst 1 (~1.5m across) within a 10m zone. Summons a large spread of snow across an area over the targeted area. An additional cold spell can freeze the snow into harder ice-crystals, which are then Manipulated into saturating the targeted area with thousands of ice-blades. Dependant on a stronger Ice Spell to be available, or Koyuki to have a norito. Sometimes has a 'safe' zone the size of a bus. She's working on that. ⑨
Storm Wall:
standard action- Burst 3 (~4.5m) within a 10m zone. Summons a localized snow storm to encircle a target area. The storm lowers visibility both into and out of the area, opponents that cross the boundary take damage and are slowed. The storm will also absorb small projectiles and add them to its boundary, inflicting additional damage based on the object absorbed.
minor action- The zone persists
Final Attacks:
Enhanced Mode: (requires norito)
passive- Koyuki's collection rate, speed, and power of her abilities are all increased. Snow Adhesion has the possibility to prevent movement completely. She is able to utilize fully-realized Ice spells and can cast Icicle Fall at-will. Storm Wall's AoE and damage increase.
Arashi Nadare: (requires startup aria)
"The Frozen Heavens hear my pledge / Inundate the foes of my Ashikabi"
standard action- Burst 10 (~15m) centered on Koyuki. Summons a wave of snow and ice spears from origin, pushing out. Ground-level opponents take damage from the snow, are knocked back, and knocked prone. Airborne opponents take damage from the ice and are knocked prone, taking fall damage. Arashi Nadare ends Enhanced Mode, requiring an additional norito to recast.
i am feeling so geeky right now. so nostalgic.
sizes i just made up, but i found this and cherry picked from various chars:
(20 something'th post down)6/30/2011 . Edited 6/30/2011 #1,898
Because Bolters are guns that could take out TANKS, they are automated ROCKET LAUNCHERS XD You don't get more KABOOM than that.
Oh looks nice.6/30/2011 #1,899
As though she wasn't bad*** enough. Why don't you give her Vash the Stampede's gun as well. God forbid she learns how to use that angel cannon thing.
Anyways, here's my character, sorry if it's too long...
Name: Haru (Brunestud) Emiya
Creator: deus-rasengan2
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Parent: Altrouge
Appearence: Slightly around 6 feet tall. Muscular for a teen his age. (Almost that of an olympic runner). Faint scars on his body from fighting. Like his father, he prefers wearing long clothes, his standard outfit a long sleeved white shirt and black jeans in public. (His physic is not as noticable to beeter fool opponents) When training, he wears a sleeveless black gi with a red belt. He has a school uniform that he despises wearing, claiming it hinders his movements, currently trying to find a way to adjust it.
Eyes: Red
Hair: Black, short, slightly spiked.
Personality: He enjoys looking after his younger siblings when he can. Enjoys challenging his older brother Takeshi to spars, training with whoever is willing to that day, and watching the stars at night with 'Chibi-Rei' (His nickname for Reiko). He values his family and will do all he can to insure their happiness. Recently, he seems to be gaining his father's luck with women as he has developed his own small harem of girlfriends (and one fiance) While he hopes it will end soon, he feels as though his pain has only begun ( in a way)
When it comes to training, he is the very definition of reckless. Haru lives by a "What doesn't kill me..." mentallity at times. His training thought has brought him much closer to his younger sister Chiyo (Who is usually the one having to fix him up, which involves guilt trips and pain Haru would never wish upon anyone.) As well as Shinta (Who has made it a goal to surpass Haru one day). When he's not with his siblings or mother, he'll be either in the dojo training in Muay Thai, or in the clan forest practicing his more destructive power. He ocassionaly will dable with training techniques he's seen in mangas he's read, much to his family's annoyance when they go wrong for Haru.
Recently, Haru has been training under the legendary hero, Jack Rakan, in learning how to better his control over his slowly growing power. He's also more focused on his training whenever he comes home to visit his family. Whenever asked about it, he only tells them "I have a promise to keep. I need to get strong enough to face him again someday."
Due to his mother's bloodline, Haru has dormaint vampire blood in him that had recently been awakened. It was first noticed the day after the night of the crimson moon. Haru tries his best not to use it as he fears he'll lose control and do something he'll forever regret.
Likes: Training, his family, friends, his girlfreinds (and fiance), watching the night sky (usually with Reiko) Primate Murder( when the beast isn't being difficult, especially when it's his turn to walk him, much to Riko's amusement) martial arts mangas/ animes with intensive training regimes, a good brawl, Zelretch's stories of the powerful opponents he's met in his travels.
Dislikes: Threatening and/or harming his precious people, badmouthing the Emiya name, his vampiric urges, those who give up before even trying, Chiyo's healing methods (he brought it on himself for his own recklessness), believing he failed in helping someone, and the crimson moon.
Skills: He studies in Muay Thai with Musubi, when incorparting his reinforcement as well as his growing ability to 'force' his energy to specific areas of his body, he's never to be underestimated. He currently uses the weapon 'Beowulf' he received from Shirou's old friend, Dante. A set of guantlet and grieves that increase his strength and speed when equipped as well as his attacks dealing light based damage, slightly dangerous for his dark attribute so using them is a double edged sword.
Is also currently training in order to expand his arsenal of techniques.6/30/2011 . Edited 6/30/2011 #1,900
yay i have started something :D
... who IS gonna compile them?... at least into a word doc or something so they can just send the docx to kittybear O_oa
off to AX, see you next week6/30/2011 . Edited 6/30/2011 #1,901
"Frankly Ao, I'm your SISTER! Save your perverted tricks for the girls at your school!"
"But sis, it was an accident!"
"You blasted my undershorts without damaging my skirt as an ACCIDENT?! If you insist on lying do it right at least!"
"Is going commando soo bad sis? Fuuko-nee does it all the time-"
"Dojo, now!"
"Keiko-chan, I don't want to hurt you..."
"But I want to hurt you."
The walk home was uneventful, and I walked slowly hoping to give sis some cooldown time.
I go directly to the dojo, lest she go angry at me again, ans find her standing in the middle of the training area no guns in hand, but a chesire grin that made my blood run cold.
"Sis if you kill-"
"Death is too good for you. You're going to suffer, and I know exactlyhow. Now, en garde!"
She steps forward, but stops "Da~amn I forgot my panties!" She blushes with a slightly angry expression. Combined with her tsundere-like hairstyle, S-grade zettai ryouiki and expression she makes me highly flustered.
I put myself in position. She reach in her cleavage, 'no, not the zeliska' and pulls her shotgun grip.
"Ah! ist co~old," her breast jiggle at the motion, "Why did I choose one so long." the iron barrel rubbing her skin makes her moan a bit, and her face fluster cutely.
"I imagine it within me, the c*ck ready and waiting. Pull the it back, trigger it and let it release deep inside, flooding myself..." I stop dead. Its common knowledge that she got angry when she finally found her visualization, for it was something embarrassing, but that... that sounded like something from Karin's... And she said it out loud too! I found myself getting aroused, and at my sister! Am I that perverted? "Action open. Charge. Load and fire!"
Damn, I lowered my guard. And got hit. And blacked out.
I wake up in the infirmary, a pack of ice in my balls, and Chiho-kaa scolding Keiko...
"...He could have been permanently injured-"
"Which would be a service for girls around the world, besides I used a bean-bag shell at 7 meters whe he was wearing the protective suit."
"Even so-"
"And he embarrass me publically, And I won't accept that. Case closed." And she walked away.
"How bad is it Kaa-san?"
"You will be unable to walk for a week, but no permanent injuries. I hope you learned your lesson."

My, my those Blue users sure can do some astounding stuff :-3
Damn Keiko sure knows to take a guy down, distracted by the sexy to the max XD
I feel sorry for the poor guy... or do I? Justice Prevailed XD6/30/2011 #1,903
Name (+creator): Shinta Emiya (Trooper1023)

Gender: Male, Sekirei
Mother: Musubi
Appearance: Physical - 120 cm (3'11"), 29 kg; straight light red hair tied in a short ponytail, red-orange eyes. Shinta looks like his namesake (Kenshin Himura as a little kid). Shinta Emiya, however, is very fit and solid-looking (compared to kid-Kenshin's delicate/thin look).
Wardrobe - He prefers to dress casually, in a t-shirt and heavy shorts (both frequently end up grass-stained) held up by a chain belt (likes Akitsu's use of them), and hiking boots.
Personality Tropes: "Allergic To Routine", "Beware the Nice Ones", "Badass Bookworm", "Good Is Not Dumb", "Human Pack Mule" and "Has Two Mommies". "The McCoy" of a "Freudian Trio" with Yuuno ("The Kirk") and Chrono ("The Spock"), and the "Red Oni" to Chrono's "Blue Oni". He will grow into "All A Part Of The Job", "Boisterous Bruiser", "I Got Bigger" (VERY much so), and "Work Hard Play Hard". Also, he will share "Must Make Her Laugh" with Yuuno Scrya, with regards to Fate Testarossa.
Description: Very laid-back and polite most of the time, quick with a smile and an offer to help out. When in a fight, however, becomes laconic, almost rude, all the while hiding his excitement. His interests are eclectic; usually found curled up with a book (reads with skill several years beyond his age) as often as brawling with his older siblings out in the yard, or trying to imitate his father's style with a pair of wooden swords.
On that final point, however, Shiro refuses to teach it, instead insisting that he is looking for a "proper" sword style to get his son instructed in... Shinta does not yet understand why Shiro HAS been teaching Chiyo-nee-san the same. (Shiro's reasoning: With Shinta's superhuman strength and endurance, he would benefit more from a traditional sword style, and does not need to take insane risks in the ol' Emiya way... Unfortunately, Shinta's strength leads him to take completely different kinds of risks while attempting to help someone else.)
Likes: family and friends, athletics (esp. swordsmanship and martial arts), reading fiction (SciFi, fantasy, and historical), giant mecha anime.
Dislikes: threats or insults to his family, to-be-Ashikabi, and friends;
Pairings: High probability of being winged by Nanoha Takamachi (MGLN) in the near future.
Seikrei: As a power-type (END and STR slightly higher than AGL and SPD), Shinta is capable of feats of strength and endurance FAR in excess of what should be possible for his age. (In Devil Wings) also occasionally manifests "hard light constructs"; (in Devil Wings A's) also an elemental-type "light" (photonic shape projection).
Magecraft: He has a small number of magic circuits, but struggles greatly when attempting any magecraft other than self-reinforcement (which adds on top of his already high stats).
Skills: Learning basics of Muay Thai from Musubi and Haru. Soon to be a student of Fuwa-Mikami Nitou-Ryuu Kenjutsu under Kyoya and Miyuki Takamachi. Also receiving tutoring in Mid-Childan magic from Yuuno Scrya, but progress is nil; struggles with creating a Mid-Childan magic circuit of sufficient consistency to use that style. Most spells fail outright, but an accident with a protection field spell lead Shinta to creating a "flash-step" effect, which he now practices religiously in the hopes of perfecting it.6/30/2011 .

Name: Reiko Emiya (shadowzerover5)
Age/Gender: 7/8-f, +600-f (Origin)
Parent: Karasuba
Physical:98cm (3'3"), Ash blond hair and gold eyes, Sekirei crest on her forehead hidden by long bangs
Wardrobe:Black Goth Loli with suspiciously flesh like rag-doll about the size of half her body.
Physical:160cm (5'3"), 80b/55w/78h Waist length ash blonde hair, Half-lidded golden eyes that seems to see something beyond mundane, Sekirei crest displayed proudly on forehead
Wardrobe:Bare-shoulder battle dress/Goth loli with armor plates inspired by Saber's own armor.
Personality Tropes: (I have no idea here...) Trademark Favorite Food (pudding), Creepy Doll, The Quiet One, Beware The Quiet Ones, The Unintelligible
Description:She is expressive but quiet, very quiet and often mumbles her words into her doll. Shirou, Gil and Karasuba understands her words due to practice while Arika seems to understood her immediately. Stares at the night sky often. Even given the gift of foresight, Reiko often gets into trouble when she tries to "help" out. While being perfectly fine afterwards, the same cannot be said to the victims of her well meaning actions.
Being Scrapped at such an early age, had a severe effect on her personality. As the feeling of utter emptiness is something a child cannot comprehend or understand, she became severely withdrawn to those she did not personally know. She also craves attention to the point that it will cause her physical harm if she is not careful. This will turn into a somewhat boon later on in life as it allowed her to keep a level head in almost any situation.
Her powers are great and as she grows she will develop physical skills to augment her lack of control over them. Aspires to be like her mother when she grows older but her powers limit her role in combat till she gets better control of them till then her role is scout and transport, provided that she can get the coordinates right. Her visions are random and is active when she is awake which is why she prefers to stay asleep.
Likes: pudding, playing with Gil and Shinra, sitting in Shirou's lap to nap, going rides with Primy and torturing the Kaleidostick (Rin:Karma is sooo sweet...) Among her siblings she is closets to Shinra, Arika and Kyon, her Crest, Her older/younger self.
Dislikes: Denied pudding, Cosmic Horrors, Zombies, her Crest

Time Manipulation: Level EX(C)
God like level of control over the power of Time to a degree that Space, its closest companion, can be manipulated to a lesser degree. But her powers are hard to control so its appreciable rank is lower than its true rank. At this level, it grants Agelessness, Clairvoyance, Spatial Distortions, Time Reversal, Time Travel, Loop Effect, Tesseract Creation etc.
Sankakukankei:Rank B(A+)
A sword crafted by Emiya Shirou to control his daughter's powers. Appears as a dull edge nodaichi made of a gem crafted from the powers of the Second Magic and covered in silver lines along the length of the blade; They are runes the size of a hairs width.
Neutral: Allows the user to accelerate and decelerate local time around him. Increasing speed and reaction time by two ranks. Reiko is unable to use this ability due to the blade exerting its more powerful abilities over the world
First Corner: Kagizaki (Tear) - In Reiko's hands, it can invoke an unblockable edge made from by warping space upon contact. This also make the blade selective and only cut the target and nothing else. Cannot be used in conjunction with the other corners.
Second Corner: Taru (Suspend) - Isolates its wielder in a separate time frame mimicking Avalon but does not grant absolute immunity the sheathe has. The barrier can be broken but it will be very difficult to do so. Reiko cannot move while this is active, barrier size is dependent on amount of prana infused. Cannot be used in conjunction with the other corners.
Third Corner: Fuuin (Seal) - Its most terrifying ability. Functions almost like a curse. Allows Reiko to turn an instantaneously fatal blow into slow lingering death by isolating the target in mini tesseract slowing the passage of time while keeping the targets perception of time normal turning seconds into days or years or centuries.6/30/2011 #1,905
I've been thinking... what do you think of Keiko (slightly older) doing the presentation of MBI produced weapons to the Jaffa with O'Neil standing to the side snarking for all he is worth? Finished with blowing some stuff up with the Bolter

I blame making Jack Rakan, Haru's teacher for this.
Haru rubbed his hands with glee. It took him quite some time to perfect this and it was mostly an experiment rather than real training but finally it was ready. Family's magi were quite surprised at the approach to magic in Lina's world. The idea of borrowing power from powerful entities and then using it to perform spells was quite uncommon in their world. If anything their magic worked by contending with the powerful entity, that is Gaia, by imposing their own ideas and beliefs upon the world. The way Lina used her magic was surprisingly similar to Marble Phantasms where the user made the nature do the magic for them. It was an interesting new avenue for research, something Rin-kaa-san took advantage of.
But enough about theory, time to begin the test. Haru put his hands together leaving a small space between his palms.
"Let's go"
He whispered and began the incantation
"Power beyond comprehension"
He poured the power into his hands and YES it started concentrating in a small space between his palms
"Idiocy beyond any limits"
More power started to form in between his palms
"In thine name I join with you in the idiocy"
He winced, as much as he hated to admit it, he Was very similar to his teacher
"Let all those who think they can contend with your
might be destroyed by the power resting in your mighty fists"
Haru withdrew his arms and then thrust them forward releasing the power.
He grinned as an enormous fist flew out of his palms breaking trees and scarring the ground.
And then it hit the hill on the opposite side of the field, leaving an enormous, deep imprint of a fist on it
Haru yelled falling to his knees with his fist in the air as he triumphed.7/2/2011 . Edited 7/2/2011 #1,910

Nice one HubiKoshi, I find the idea of Haru drawing power from Jack Hilarious. For we all know that Jacks Awesomeness is more than enough to be a Stable Powersource for any magic user :)7/2/2011 #1,911
I am rolling around laughing Im imagining it now oh yea how do you think he will react when he finds out haru is borrowing his power7/2/2011 #1,912
"That will be 100 milion for every use of that spell, my power is copyrighted you know. Buut I can sell you a license, just 500 milion, it's a bargain kid, I'm giving you a discount as my disciple"7/2/2011 . Edited 7/2/2011 #1,913

Considering how easily Haru can make money it's a pretty good deal actually.7/2/2011 #1,914
Rakan sighed mournfully
"Something wrong Rakan-sensei?"
Haru asked just coming back from doing warm up exercises. Jack pointed at him accusingly
"You are a friggin hen that lays golden eggs, there is no challenge Here, you just pay me as much as I demand. I have more cash than ever before and I don't know what to do with it. Damn you!"7/2/2011 #1,915
|Bloody Hero
Sad thing is that's probably true. Oh well he could always pull off a Zack from DOA he has the cash for it.7/2/2011 #1,916
I have found Haru the perfect rival (Sorry Takeshi, he still loves you like a brother though, actually you might be glad, Haru won't be randomly challenging you as much any more)
Haru gazed at the city he and Rakan were currently walking through. It had been close to thre months since the lengendary hero took on his second apprentice and Haru's abilities had grown by leapts and bonds. The bot had practically gone through hell and back to get to the strength he has now. From either having to face off against all manners of monstrous beings in the magic world to sparring with Rakan with limited mobility due to him being forced to constantly wear weights, it was all worth it with the power he had now. Sure he was still nowhere near what Rakan, let alone Negi, could dish out at full power, but he was damn sure far passed his level when he first started and for that he was greatly proud of himself.
His sensei was proud to as he had decided it was time for Haru to put his skills to the test by entering in an upcoming tournament. At first Haru was completely against it, not because he was afraid or the like, but because after the being caught entering a tournament he was too young for( he entered with the help of Chisame's againg pills) that was being broadcasted on tv, though he won it, it took quite a long while before he was aloud any sort of freedom from the house without a chapoerone with him in case he tried again. Rakan had assured them that there was no way his family would find out about it as the broadcast was only shown in this world anyway.
Haru was not entirely convinced, but a chance to fight was never one he'd pass up.
Haru noticed that not only were their alot of participants entering, but they were also of many different species as well, beastmen, elves, lizard people, he thinks he may have even seen a daywalker or two.
"Alright then, gaki..." Jack spoke up. "We just need to get you registered in properly and you'll be ready to go when the fights start."
Haru glanced at his sensei, "You're sure this isn't going to be televised in the human world?"
Rakan sighed, thhis brat worried too much. "Once again, yes. Your world shouldn't have access to any broadcast from this world." He then giggled to himself sligthly. "Oh, but all the X-rated material they're missing out on."
"You dirty old man..." Haru muttered while he ignored his sensei's rambling about the types of 'adult material' the magic world had. He adjusted the duffle bag on his shoulder as they continued walking. He was gazing around at the other fighters here. While quite a few look and felt like they could give him a challenge, most of them just seemed to either be all talk, or were skilled, but not enough to really leave much of an impression were they to be matched up. Just as Haru turned to look forward again, he had almost bumped into some one walking the opposite direction as them. He and the other guy were able to move out of each other's way just in time. Haru quickly noticed that the guy looked to be around his age, if not a year or two older. He had shoulder length red hair with a long strand sticking out that reminded him of of Saber-kaa and Musubi-kaa slightly. He wore a long sleeved red jacket with a sleevless white shirt beneath and black pants. He also had a long red tie around his nack and sneakers on his feet. A small duffle bag of his own slung over his shoulder.
When Haru's red eyes met the others dark blue, he caught a glimpse of something, he couldn't really explain it. He knows Rakan might have rambled about it at some point during their training but he probably wasn't paying too much attention at the time. But he knew one thing for sure...
This guy was powerful, and Haru wanted to fight him...
The red-head seemed to think something similar as he slightly raised his eyebrow and his his lips twitched upward for a second before the two moved past one another and kept going their seperate ways. Haru turned back slightly to watch the red head's retreating figure.
"Looks like you found yourself a target eh?" Haru turned toward his sensei's smirking face.
"Even if it was for a second, I saw the looks in your eyes. You'll be gunning for him in the tournament right?"
Haru rolled his eyes. "Who knows, if he doesn't lose early on, maybe I will..." He mentally scoffed at himself. That guy was not going to lose to these amatuers. "Let's hurry and get me registered." Haru punched his open palm as he began to walk faster towards where he saw other fighters lining up.
Rakan shook his head at his disciple. "That idiot... still..." He then looked back in the direction of where the red head was.'I had heard rumors of a red-head warrior from a town called Veldime who could fight on par with Demon Lords... if he's one and the same, he may just be the test Haru needs...'He then smirked to himself. "This might actually be a little interesting." He muttered before walking to catch up to his student.

*Returns from Star Wars marathon*
*ksssh* I find the lack of OMAKE disturbing
It shall be rectified *ksssh*
Reiko's conclusion.
This, wasn't the future I left behind.
Was the first thought that entered Reiko's mind as she stood on top of a hill overlooking vast green plains. In the distance, a massive silver city lined the horizon and reached up to heavens where a white arc streaked across the clear sky. The air seems cleaner that what she was used to when she was in her native timeline. Did she wander into one of the Sekirei territories? Did she overshoot her jump?
"Well I don't think I'm in my timeline anymore..." she mumbled as she dropped flat on her back, tired from her excursion into to the past.
"That's because you aren't, my dear."
"Master?!" whirling around at the sound of a familiar voice, Reiko saw the Wizard Marshall walked up next to her and stroked his chin while admiring the beautiful view of the city before them.
"Beautiful isn't it? A city made of a metal that decomposes naturally when exposed to high amounts of Gaia's will. Clean energy derived from the very stars themselves...while it is not perfect as the nature of man rarely is, it is a peaceful city with wonderful people," he spoke in almost awe.
"How did I get here..." Reiko asks as Zelretch continued to list the achievements of the city in the horizon.
Pausing in his little tirade, the vampire stroked his beard and smirked, "Why? You should know that my apprentice," he trailed off as he pulled a data pad out of thin air and started to type into it, "You made a linear jump."
Reiko frowned contemplating her teacher's words before her eyes widened in realization, "You mean...?!"
"He's right, after all we've been trough," she heard her own voice call from behind her. Slowly turning around she frowned as she saw two of her in walking with each in sync. One was older, if the bust was any indication, while the one next to her was a somewhat more youthful copy of her. What was the most startling is the younger one had no crest on her head.
"The iterations we tried," the oldest Reiko said.
"Manipulations...Time stream," spoke the youngest.
"A simple visit succeeded in the dream we all but given up on," spoke the last.
Reiko collapse on her knees as her master stroked her back. Her eyes were wet in tears for the first time in centuries, turning around she slapped the old man hard on the arm, "Why didn't you tell me?!" before hugging her Master in full embrace.
The pair of Reikos that arrived from this time greeted the Wizard Marshall before lifting the visitor to her feet, "You don't belong in this time,"
"Go home." was soft gentle command she received as smiled graced the three's lips. One of understanding, another of pride and last of joy.
She felt power from her future selves flow into her, giving her the needed energy to make probably her last jump.
"This city," she began, "What is it called?"
Zelretch smirked as the other Reiko's waved their counterpart good bye, "What else my dear?"
"I'm home."
"Welcome back."
"We can't keep calling you Reiko you know?"
"Then...you can call me Eiko."
"Eiko it is."

Fit It In
Fitting in a second workout isn't as hard or time-consuming as you think. All it takes is 15 minutes to get in a quick ab workout or do some lunges and squats. Squat while you cook dinner… do abs while you're watching your favorite TV show after work. You can fit it in… the question is, how badly do you want to?
