Sakila

"You're a strange one, Ms. Erru, that's for sure. But right now, you're our best hope. I'd volunteer to go. But I made a pretty big scene outside, so I don't think I'd be the most inconspicuous. Whoever goes, I suggest you take this with you." Sakila took off the fingerless glove on her left hand. A thin white scar became visible. She turned the glove inside out, revealing four small knives. "Just slide one of these babies out, and you're good to go in a knife-fight." She smiled. "So who's the volunteer?"

[Edit #2: I just realized something after reading Phi's post] Sakila wondered for a bit. What is the connection between all of us? "I can't say for sure," said one of the kidnappees, "but there is a possibility that we could be a group of rats in their lab." "I'm not sure that's it. If they were looking for lab rats, why cause such a stir? Why kidnap a group of random strangers in a crowded street in broad daylight?"

Uhhh....question: This is 啼くんだよ?

The doors of the van opened and everyone was thrown outside, one by one. Sakila found the little kid outside, crying. One of the kidnappers pulled him up by the scruff of his neck and shook him roughly. "Shut up, ya brat!" One of the kidnappers cut the rope that was around her wrists. Without any hesitation, Sakila ripped the tape from her mouth and ran over to the kid. "What the hell, man?! He's a seven-year old! He's scared enough as it is, stop messin' with him!" She jumped up and kneed the man in the stomach. "Whaddaya think yer doin', woman?!" He grabbed her shoulder and clenched his fist around her collarbone. As Sakila struggled to get out the iron grip, the kidnapper backhanded her across the cheek. Several things happened simultaneously after that. An authoritative woman came over to them saying, "Hey, be careful with the 'goods'!" The girl next to her started yelling about her cellphone, and everyone began being dragged violently into dungeon-like areas. The woman who'd stopped her from being beaten to death pulled her up by the arm and led Sakila away. The child from before followed behind them. Everyone was thrown into a dark room with a single light bulb and a small window much too high to look through. Just wonderful. Sakila wondered what to do. As soon as the door shut, she stood up. "Hey everyone! Calm down and listen up! Does anyone know what's going on?!"

[is that necessarily a bad thing? xD You have complete control of the other side until a new bad guy appears]

Dear Anonymous, You know what? I am sick and tired of this. You ALWAYS have something to complain about. WOULD YOU GROW UP?! The world does not revolve around you! You think you're so important, you need to let the universe hear your troubles. Well guess what? There are THOUSANDS of people in a much more terrible situation than the one you are in, got it?! The only problem you have is TEENAGE ANGST. That's it. The entire world is not against you, so stop it! You're just going through a phase, ok?! So stop annoying ME just because you have a few easy-to-solve, not-so-big "problems" Signed, Oh, let's just say...an acquaintance -------------------------------------------- Dear Anonymous, I don't like you. You're annoying. Just stop trying already. It's sad an pathetic and it's getting you nowhere. At first, yeah sure, you were a nice company, I liked talking to you--but I AM NOT YOUR PSYCHIATRIST. Signed, "A friend" *eye roll*

[Name: Sakila] [Age: 15] [Appearance: Short black bob and black eyes, short--about 5'2", always wears a fingerless glove on her left hand] [Description: kidnappee--one with her mouth bound; outgoing and loud, rebellious--someone who will argue with authorities even in life or death situations, not the strongest but good enough to hold her own in a fight (she's originally from a dangerous place), fiercely loyal to the few that are close to her] Sakila had been meaning to go back home and chat with her email buddy when the chaos broke out. Being from Murder City, she knew exactly what to do: stay unnoticeable and run as fast as your legs could carry you. But she tripped on a cell phone someone had just happened to drop in front of her and her head slammed against the ground. She picked up the Blackberry right before she felt someone pull her up by her hair and shove something against her face. And then everything turned black. She woke up with the grandmother of all migraines. Her hands and feet were tied with heavy rope and there was sticky stuff preventing her from opening her mouth. She looked around, noticing that she was in a van with a lot of other people. There seemed to be no connection between any of them. The girl next to her seemed to wake up. Sakila tries to signal her but she just looks around and goes back to sleep. Oh well. The van jerks and something slides past her. It's the Blackberry that she'd picked up. Yes! If only she could reach it.... Sakila sees a small child cowering in the corner. She nods her head in the general direction of the phone. The child seems to understand and kicks the Blackberry toward Sakila. Suddenly the van stops and the phone changes course midway. Great. Now what?

That's fine ^^ Spread you wings~~~~ xP

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!! FUYUMI <333333333333333333333 AND A BUNNY!!!!!!!! This picture can't get any epic-er! xD

They are too awesome to be counted. One of those anons may be me as I barely ever log off. Also, I've seen "Alexa" on there. Didn't know what it was until I googled it.

Just Jigoku Shoujo for me. My parents don't think buying manga for me makes good use of their money. And all the money from my job goes straight to them anyways (not that I get paid much )

Ah, really now? Hmm.... interesting.... Also, you shouldn't double-post. If you want to reply to more than one comment, use the multiquote function on the lower-right.

You know....I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't really know. Yet

xD My friend really likes that name, so all of his forum usernames have "Skye" in them. But he adds an "e" at the end to sound "cool" *rolls eyes" As for me.... I actually like the name "Sakila" (or maybe I'm just used to it) but....I might shorten it to "Saki"...?

Cool! We have lotsa multilingual members here~ I'm just bilingual though XD And if yer looking for a challenge, some of our very own geniuses would probably love to compete against you. Not me, however, I'm just the camerawoman. *hides* Welcome to DCW!

*pops out of coffin inside hearse* Hey, welcome to DCW~! *dies again*

No....not the...not the giant purple elephant!! Nooooo!! I trusted you! This conversation is over! I never want to see you again! *runs away dramatically*

What? You planned this? *gasps* Admit it! You just wanted the money right from the beginning, didn't you?!

Before it even started. How sad xD

Sure~! Me: Mooooom, can I get some money. Mom: No. Me: Get a job. Or we're over.

XD Pretty much. Unless you don't mind takeout every morning/noon/night.

I'm usually not the kind to think like this...so hmmm....this is tough...the kinda guy that I like... From the extremely few romantic encounters I've had (can you even call them "romantic") I've realized that I don't exactly have any preferences when it comes to looks. (Okay, yes, I would like the guy to be cute.) Someone I can be me with. ("Me" being absolutely ridiculous and crazy and hyper and well, you know... ^^") Someone who knows when to have fun and be playful and joke around and when to be serious and comforting Someone confident. If you think you're awesome, I'll think you're awesome. No wusses. XD I can't stress this one enough: Someone who can take care of me. Because I can't cook, clean, pretty much do anything like that expected of a girl. And yet, for some reason, I'm somehow also a perfectionist. I need that pencil to be straight! So hmm....the chef of a five-star restaurant? xP And...pretty much someone that makes me happy whenever I talk to them Yeah. That's about it. Haha--that was hard. I had to think for a long time.

OMG!! YESYESYESYESYES!!!!!! *floats on cloud nine* She's so badass!!~~ ^0^
