You stole my words. From my mouth-hole.


You both stole my words!
After some time Ive come to realize that its impossible to look like an anime character, and people who try are usually crazy freaks.


Ya know, by "anime-ish style" I didn't mean I was trying to look like a character from an anime, it just sorta reminded me of how the traditional style of hair looked. The thing is, it was uneven and a bit spiky around the edges (it's usually curly) so I thought it kinda looked that way. It was unintentional, no reason to think I'm some kind of Inuyasha wannabe.

New clothes... I've gone from hawaiian shirts to earthen tones (lots of dark blues, black, dark greens, greys, etc...) over the course of six months. Personally, I wore the hawaiian shirts earlier as part of an expression experiment; they've always symbolized instability, craziness, obnoxiousness, and the like, and I sorta adopted the style when I adopted the clothes. Nowadays I'm more relaxed and less edgy, I take life slower than I did previously, and I've taken to the earthy colors as a result. I guess the clothes can make the man, sometimes...

I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades, one of life's true Red Mages. That said, I've gotten pretty good at Math, Science, English, History, and still remain pretty fit and trim despite being the type to stay inside on a computer all day. The downside, however, is that I have no specialty, instead I'm just kinda good at everything. Lately however, I've tried to extend myself into writing and computers more, I write in my own journals every day or so and I've been looking into studying programming as a career, patterns and such tend to interest me quite a bit. But overall I try to do a little of everything, just to see what's interesting, I'm still a bit too young to specialize in anything just yet.

Blue: "The answer is simple. Tuxydon knows nothing about the rest of us, all he knows about are me, you, and Schwa. If you will recall, he has stated in the past that he could *easily* posess someone such as myself, and will most likely go for his boast, having no real measure of the power our other comrades hold. That is his weakness, a lack of knowledge. Also, if we successfully bait him into taking my mind, you all will be able to take me on quite easily and force him into a physical form after beating me up for a bit in order to weaken him. Any way we envision it, someone will have to make a personal sacrifice in this situation, so I am volunteering early on in order to save others the trouble."

Blue ponders this statement, wondering if he's getting himself into a dangerous situation...

Janus: "One thousand.... Two thousand.... Three thousand.... Blast, I've lost count. How old AM I anyway?"

A tree. A meadow. A farmhouse in the distance. Janus stands before a gravestone, bearing the name of an old friend. He's changed over the years; His white shirt is now covered by a magical metal hauberk, cursing him and yet somehow feeding his strength at the same time. His hair is longer. His red baseball cap is tattered and beginning to die, no matter how he cares for it. However, the most that has changed about him is his nature. There's no need for him to care about anything anymore; he's realized that all things must die, and that he needs not care about something that he will not have forever. Today, however, is a special case. This person was very important to him, and he comes now to commemorate his passing.

"I don't even know how long it's been... But I remember you. You. Of all people, I remember you and the other two. Probably because I still visit that time often. But I can only visit it sparingly, as I've found... The perspective alone would be mind boggling. To you, I would be there every day, but I've realized now that I can only see you in my OWN perspective... at least once every hundred years or so..."

There is another at this location. Janus extended the challenge to him, to see if those who travel through time truly are immortal, as he has found himself to be. He'll come. Janus knows this much.

"Star... I'm waiting..."

The gravestone is extremely old as it is, at least three hundred or so years have passed since its representative was placed within the earth. The writing on it has been scratched and crumbled away from years of weathering. Only one word can be seen, clear as day, once and forever...

"Red"....

Did he confess something that he shouldn't have when he was tortured, and shot himself to avoid prolonging the inevitable?

"I'm not here to die, Star. There's still many things I have left to do, a universe of knowledge for me to gain. That's what keeps me going."

Janus's bag is present now, even after so many years, still harmless and unblemished. Inside it lie the relics of countless times, no longer packed to the brim with discs and carts but instead a mixture of games he refuses to use and artifacts from times he wishes he had never visited. A bag of memories it has become, along with everything else. He flips a switch he's flipped a score of a thousand times before, and feels the familiar handle extend from it. It seems so silly now, using a bag as a hammer, but it is his.

"I've tried, Star. I really have. A million suicide attempts, a thousand defeats at the hands of foes I could have destroyed, and all for naught."

He turns away from Red's grave, and faces Star, holding his hammer in one hand and drawing from the bag his metal staff.

"You chose to be immortal because you have something to live for. I have to be immortal because I have nothing to die for."

Taking a stance that holds his hammer outwards in his right hand, Janus's left hand flips another switch, this one on his staff. From the tip of the staff comes a blade, so fine it can cut the wind itself. A present from Death himself.

"I've seen him, Star. I've met the most famous of my kind, and he refused to take my life, telling me I have so much more to do. Instead, he gave me this. The Scythe of the Reaper. Well, a copy of it, anyway. He told me something, he told me that I still have a destiny to fulfill. I have no clue what destiny that is, and I suppose that is why I'm still here. Perhaps it's because I haven't settled my score with a certain person. Perhaps it is because I wear this accursed metal armor that this person gave me. It's odd, I know."

He brandishes his two weapons. The scythe is held clumsily outward, but he has no intention of fighting with it today. Instead, he puts it away and waits for Star to attack him.

"I can't kill you, Star, and I don't want to. I know you can't kill me either, and you know that too. So why don't we have a good match, for old times' sake? Maybe you'll learn a bit more about me because of it. Tell me, have you ever heard of the Radiant Order?"

"Defensive, good! I like your thinking!"

Janus goes into a slow, ducking roll and comes out of it with a swing to Star's feet!

"Death is indeed a strange fellow. He's got an interesting way of talking, too. But you still haven't answered me, have you ever heard of the Radiant Order?"

After the low swing, Janus goes into a series of frontflips and roundhouses, ending about fifteen feet away from Star.

Blast, it's so close, too! Of course, if Legion were to actually enter this one, I suppose we'd get owned for sure, like last round... At least I'm not in last place anymore.

Janus: "Satchel's Storage!"

Bringing his hammer parallel with his body, Janus watches as the lightning bolt collides with the hammer's head, and is absorbed into the bag. Stored energy, if you will. Instantly the hammer heats up to an incredibly high temperature, and Janus drops it to the ground, his hands blistering in pain.

"Yowch, haven't done that in a ---WHOA!"

Janus drops to a crab-walk position as Star's blade swings over him, lets go and falls to the ground, and rolls out of the way, calling his still-hot hammer back to him, but unable to launch a successful counterattack due to the complexity of his dodge.

Janus barely evaded Star's flurry of blades with a loose backflip out of Star's path. Sailing into the air, he grabs his hammer and comes out of the backflip swinging, letting go of his hammer and watching as it sails toward the ground near Star, causing a quaking shockwave to rip through the earth. Janus' Earthquake Hammer Throw!

Janus: "I do so hate those deep cuts, which is probably why I can't stand to use bladed weapons!"

As APH flies off, so does Janus, who has clung to the back of the craft, hooking his hammer onto it and letting it carry him. Not much else to do besides that...

Red: "If you need a bit of help..." At this, Red flares upward, concentrating a ball of flames into his right hand, "I can assist you. I doubt the teleporter will work without fire, anyway."

Janus (thinking): 'Electricity...?'

Skidding backward a few steps, Janus spins his hammer in a defensive circle before him, catching Star's real blade in the crook of the hammer as it spins. Janus holds the weapon steady, bracing it and trying as hard as he can not to let the sword move any closer to him. The two weapons will be deadlocked, but Star's still free to discharge lightning at will. Unfortunately, once again Janus cannot counterattack, as his weapon is currently holding Star's steady...

Red: "Right, if you say so."

With that, he dashes through the portal as the flames pass by him harmlessly. If Origin's teleporter works as well as he says it does, then Red should end up right in the middle of Grassland Ruins City. Of course, Red'll have no idea until Origin comes out after him.

Meanwhile, back at the warehouse, Green is a bit overwhelmed...

Green: "So Schwa, does this mean that if Tuxydon attacks you while we're trying to help the Buster Beetles, we won't be able to help you defeat him? I don't like that, it sounds really dangerous!"

Blue: "Indeed, Green. But I am a bit more curious about what would happen should Tuxydon actually manage to defeat Schwa... From the looks of things, it does not sound like Schwa would be just another psi warrior for Tuxydon to add to a collection."

A brilliant orange fire emits from Red's body. He looks almost happy to fight.

Red: "Guy, I was born to do stuff like this!"

But of course, there's still a touch of doubt in his eyes as he speaks again...

"But... Is there anything I should watch out for as I'm burning stuff?"

Janus: "What? That looks like some kind of shield... Well, while you're playing with your thunderballs, I'll continue my story."

Electricity crackles around Janus, as he activates the power of Green's Lightning within him...

"The Radiant Order... I was one of them, you know. An organization of demigods designed to keep human beings complacent and happy through the form of mindless entertainment. Television, sports, and in my case, video games, were all intended to keep humans from doing any serious harm. Each one had a patron deity, a person who could moderate and regulate the activities of the users of each form of entertainment. There's one for sex, one for drugs, one for rock and roll, even a subsection devoted to books and hobbies. Mine? I already said, video games. That's where my powers come from, I was created when the first games were created, in order to ensure the success of such thoughtless fun. Of course, it was all very violent, but most facets of human nature are."

Green's Lightning is raging at this point, enveloping Janus in a sea of blue brightness, a pure stream of energy particles moving at a solid 186000 mi/s. It had indeed been several thousand years since the three men he respected most died, but he made sure their talents were not forgotten...

I've got my acetylene ready.

More seriously, I think Masako presents the best point here, that America always seems to make a much bigger deal than everyone else when something bad happens to them...

I'm thinking particularly of the destruction of The Maine, Pearl Harbor, the threat to Saudi Arabia, the JFK assassination, and now the attacks by terrorists we had a hand in creating.
