The Six Wizards

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Ahhhhhhhhhh... should be studying but Noooooo.... I just had to write!


Sorry for bombing you with all this in pm, Salemboy! I was writing it in pm initially, then decided to rephrase for here, THEN i started writing a really good little blurb about Ouki. Hope u like everyone! I"m gonna put it in fan fic! yay!!!


But first, some questions about the current status of the RPG...

Salemboy: Any ideas for some tasty japanese food Ouki could find in the kitchen to snack on? I hate to be stereotypical and say 'nori- rolls' or 'teriake chicken' or 'tempura'.. or maybe that would do? Plus.. we need to create a moment where we can be drawn out to what's going on with inu... maybe we could have a police scanner going in the hideout, and hear about a disturbance that sounds Inu style? then the scene could swtich to Inu and Yuta and Neko fighting their way out of the cult situation. (with of course a build up to it first...)

Q, would you like Inu to pull you out of there unconscious? Or would you like to fight with Inu on your way out? I reckon there's definately potential for a last minute retribution killing before we blow the place sky high...

Also, Salemboy and i were discussing working out what draws each character to Inu, and why they are so devoted to him. I agreed to one suggestion that it might be good for each of us to come up with our own reason. Eg. In the middle of a kill, off the cuff comment by Buta could be "Of course Inu, I owe you my life!" to indicate that Inu had saved Buta's life or pulled him out of a bad situation at least. Ouki's will go back to when she was a child and nearly drowned.


And her is my BLURB! hee hee! I had so much fun writing it.. still can't seem to stomach writing about torture.. when that movie hostel came out I was like.. no no no I can't handle it! but when I was younger, I was all for scary, blood and guts sort of movies. I guess when it can be real I get queezy... aw well! Good practice for entering into a genre I'm not familar with.

Also, sorry for being so gushy... I've been reading Stephanie Meyer and of course it's all romance so now my writing is gearing that way.

On with the killin'! yeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaa..........

She was on holidays with her family at a lake, and her parents and sisters didn't notice that she had gotten caught in a current near the river mouth. She was dragged off for miles, Her little body scrapping and breaking along the rocks. She fought for her life, the water was cold and it burned her throat and lungs. She was dying, but the water relentlessly dragged her down stream. Her vision was all water, and then it became darker, like she was sinking into a deeper abis. That's when she felt the pull. She was yanked back into life and thrown onto the grassy bank. She coughed and coughed and threw up, then rolled over weakly and let the hot sun warm her face. She squeezed her eyelids once, twice and then fluttered them open and saw that the sun was no longer shining; someone was blocking it. Weak as she was she tried to back away.
"I'm not going to hurt you." the voice was almost kind. "It's not your turn to die. Today." Ouki squinted her eyes, trying to focus. It was a boy, about the same age as her. He was soaking wet, the water dripped off his shoulder length black hair. He knelt down beside her.
"What was it like?" he asked, staring into her eyes. Ouki tried to move. Her whole body ached.
"I... I can't move." she croaked. Inu kept staring at her.
"Tell me, what was it like, to almost die like that?" Inu acted like he hadn't even heard her. Ouki felt her heart crushing.
"Please..." she squeaked, tears starting to form in her eyes, burning them. "I can't move, my whole body... I think my legs are broken." Ouki lifted her hands to reach out to the boy, and saw that her hands were cut up and seeping blood. The boy took one of her hands. Ouki froze. He held her hand between his hands.
"So fragile." he muttered. He looked her over, assessing the damage. Then he looked at her face again. Ouki rolled her head so she didn't have to look at him.
"Look at me." he commanded. Ouki closed her eyes, like a child who believes when she closes her eyes, the monsters can't get her. She was wrong. She felt herself being pulled up to a sitting positon. She cried out in pain. "Open. your. eyes. Ouki." the boy said pointedly. Ouki's eyes shot open.
"How do you know my name?" she whispered.
"You come here every summer. I know you." Ouki's blood ran cold when he said 'I know you and not, I know who you are. How could this boy know her.
"You are not like your sisters. You are strong, independent, smart, and you're bored. You've also got a secret." the boy whispered the last.
Ouki paused, her mouth was so parched. The boy held her in his arms. "What secret?" She breathed. She felt so dizzy. She was loosing so much blood.
"You like to watch things die." the boy's eyes widened and he smiled. Ouki's eyes widened too.
"How..." she tried to say. Her eyes rolled back into her head as she nearly passed out. She felt her cheeks being slapped. She refocused.
"come on! Pay attention!" The boy kept patting at her cheeks until she brought up one hand and grabbed his wrist. Pure adrenaline. He laughed.
"Now there's a fiesty girl!" he said. She held his wrist firm still. "I've seen you, Ouki. You do it. You go out into the forest, you find creatures and you start it. You feed them poison, you cut them, you break them, and you watch them die. You listen to them scream. I listen to them too." Ouki continued to listen to the boy.
"who are you?" she asked.
"My name is Chi Inu." he bowed his head politely. then he set about talking once more. "Was it quiet?"
"What?"
"The water. Nearly dying. Was it quiet?"
"It was.... it was sort of peaceful.... it hurt so much, but then, it just started getting dark." Ouki tried to drag the memory out.
"All that pain. And you didn't make a sound. You were like a rag doll, being tossed around. You didn't look alive. Imagine! Suffering all that pain. And you never made a sound." Inu stood up and looked around. "Come on." he said, and he scooped her up like she was lighter than air.
Ouki fell asleep as Inu carried her up the ridge. She woke up in a hospital bed, both legs in casts and an iv drip in her hand.Unfortunately, even a magical hospital still had to set your bones back in place, even if they did manage to heal faster than muggle medicine knew how. Her mother stirred beside her.
"Oh Ouki! My sweet! Oh God! Baby don't move. You've been through so much. Are you alright?" her mother threw herself across Ouki's chest, hugging her. Ouki set her hands on her mothers back, hesitantly.
"Where's Chi?" she asked.
"Who?" her mother said, pulling away and grabbing some tissue.
"The boy who saved me?"
"Oh, well they.. well they just brought you back to the campground, and then we rushed you to the hospital and I..."
"I want to see him. What did he tell you?" Ouki tried to sit up a bit more, but was still so weak.
"I don't know who you mean, sweetie. There was no boy, only a man and a woman in a truck. Maybe this boy was there son. But he didn't come back with you." her mother eyed her with concern.
"So... no one said anything?"
"Other than that they found you on the side of the river half dead? I think that was enough, don't you??" her mother was becoming hysterical.
"It's okay mom. It's ok." Ouki let her head fall back. She pondered what Chi had said, about the silence.

Ouki's dreams for every night after that day in the river were of the silent pain she had suffered. At first it sent her screaming into consciousness, and then it changed her. She began to study it, to test it, and to master it. The dreams helped her focus on inflicting that pain on everything else. It wasnt' until she had drowned her older sisters cat that her family really knew what she was. She was home for Christmas when she found the cat had eaten her fighting fish. So... she killed him slowly. Using her magic to fill his nose, his mouth, and ears with water until he convulsed and spasmed and slipped away. Her sister walked in as she was doing it. She never recovered from what she saw. Her mother screamed and screamed and cried and cried. "How could you be such a monster?!!!" she wailed.
"I've always been a monster!" Ouki screamed back. That day she left home. That day, she set out to find Chi Inu. She knew he would accept her. She found him, and he encouraged her skill. She started taking human lives. There was no turning back. Not that there was a place where mom and dad's little princess was real -ever.

Let's see, for quick stuff that takes a second to make, or doesn't need to be cooked at all:

Cream puff, refrigerated. Sushi (if previously made), refrigerated. Rice wrapped in Tofu, preferably refrigerated.

Hmmm, I'll have Damien make Ouki some Ramen (noodles, but it tastes great).

[Ms. Elsewhere]

oh yum! I do love Japanese food, and Japan for that matter!!! I must must MUST go back there some day. I need to at the very LEAST climb Fuji san! Once I get a scanner working i'm going to post some pics I took in Japan in 1999... the shops, the festivals, the people , the sights, the buildings, ........... I love that place!



:)

[salemboy]

I've only seen Mount Fuji up close once. I didn't get to climb it, but I got to see it. I was so mad that I forgot to bring my camera, because it was awesome.

But, yeah, on to post.

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Fuji was covered in mist when I saw it from the train. I will return to climb it, but u have to do it at night, and arrive in the morning. The Shinto shrine and the sunrise is apparently breath taking...


Also.. Salemboy has given me permission to play his created character, as Riley has not submitted Ouki yet. If it's okay with everyone, can i just play her and not submit? Was wondering how you view the character submissions, to get an idea of who they are (profile, description) do u look at the person who plays them profile, or is there another way?

I'm planning on having Yuta continue her reminisinces in my next few posts, so Yuta won't be involved in much action for a while. She'll reveal how she was recruited into the group, her favorie killing methods, etc. Should be fun!

I like that idea. It will be good to take a dive into the minds of the sadist six, and find out how they came to be part of the group. My idea is that the six wizards joined each other for a very juvenille reason - to just share the same mad desire to kill in the most painful, cruel way possible. But now, the six need to establish themselves as a true 'gang' and have a common goal.

I guess that goal is to go against everyone who would try to stop them, but I need some ideas. What is their ultimate purpose? Voldemort had a purpose, so we should have one too. Otherwise there will be no reason for the ministry to hunt us all down and lock us up and refer to us as "The Sadist Six".

Also, I find it funny... 5 wizards escaped from prison... but they are still referred to as the Sadist Six. I wonder if anyone notice there is one missing? And, is it common knowledge in the wizard world the notorious arrest and imprisionment of such a physcotic collection of people? And if it is, do a lot of people know about it? (Hagrid seemed to know about Damien's past.. why not Valencia and Galena and so on?)

xx

[salemboy]

Hagrid knew about Damien's past, because he was at the school as Ground's Keeper while Damien was a student. Even in his first years as a wizard, Damien was obsessed with the Dark Arts. The reason why nobody knows about him is because he left in his fourth year, and I believe that he's at least 4 years older than the others (correct me if I'm wrong).

Well, they all had their own motives for joining. Like Inu said, he enjoys the power that comes with it, Damien enjoys the look of torture, and Ouki because Inu saved her, and so on. They are called "sadistic" because they enjoy being cruel. They enjoy their kills, their torture sessions. Also, my original idea for their purpose? One, to gain power. Two, to be able to not do it alone, and be able to have back-up. Three, and most importantly, To have fun. I hadn't really thought of a major long-term goal. They're just something I thought of off of the top of my head.

[Ms. Elsewhere]

And an excellent thought too, Salemboy! Fawkes and I had a little chat about this pact thing too....

There is this special dagger that can bind people together by blood oath; physically and with a spell too. As you've read, in Yuta's past, this dagger was sought after for the exact same purpose Inu is proposing now. This 'friend' of Yuta's wanted to possess her forever by binding himself to her using the dagger. That same dagger is the one Inu stole from the ritual table in the cultist's hideout..... OR he already has it in his possession; that is the sharp weapon he has conceiled in a towel in his bag, which he packed in the recent post.

Bottom line,Yuta knows about the process because of this friend of hers who saught the dagger (who we discussed may have died while trying to get the dagger, and during which time Inu rescues her) and Inu and her either possess the dagger now, or have aquired it while at the hideout while rescuing Neko.

Ultimately, I think it's important that they all be branded; it could serve as an interesting twist in Next Generation?

IN the meant time, it's time for Inu to have a nasty fight with Damien! lol!

[salemboy]

Damien will probably give in, but boy... that's going to be some major tension there. I wonder how the others are reacting. I don't know very much about Buta, but he seems to be somewhat friends with Damien, as they hang out quite a bit, but he's also extremely loyal to Inu. Yuta will probably give in easily from what I've seen so far. As for Ouki, I'm guessing that she's torn between the two. Neko's unconscious, but I'm guessing she'll agree with Inu.

I think Damien might have a limp for a while after this... lol.

[FawkesthePhoenix]

Ah, but Salem, you forget that Yuta has had experience with these sort of "pacts" before. She knows of their power, their finality. Whatever her dicision in the end, she definitely won't be keen on the idea.

[Ms. Elsewhere]

I think I've made Inu too chatty. He seems to just stand about making bold speeches that fall on deaf ears. He needs to speak through action. But how? What makes them all escape together and seek out Damien? They are all so young and 'carefree' still, so to speak. I think Inu will always be the ambitious one, but until a true mission comes into play, the others will just treat each other as school yard chums rather than lifetime partners in crime.

It's all really every man/woman for themselves in this group... but now Inu is connected to Inu... Damien to Ouki... lol! and Buta and Yuta standing by looking at the two pairs thinking ewwwww!!!!

Would it be alright to introduce more characters? Maybe a ministry official or a priest from the cultist group? So that a little background can be established as to the surveilance on the sadist six thus far.

Also, in response to the comment that japan has a low crime rate, this would not apply to this time because the beginning clearly states that 'dark times' have fallen and that there are turf wars and so on...

Speaking of which! LOL we need to have a rumble!! Hmmm... what other gang can we run into and have a delicious, screaming and blood spilling fight with? A motorcycle gang? Cars? (Fast and Furious, tokyo drift? lol) Hmmm... ..... Ouki and Buta and Damien could be heading off to the pub and come across a nice ride, steal it, and tick off a gang leader.

I need some ideas for the cars.. hmmm.. what do u think?

Will this night ever end? should we just go to sleep? dunno.... opinions would be great.

[FawkesthePhoenix]

*pokes Distortia* I'm waiting for Inu to react to Yuta's entrance.

Perhaps after Buta, Damien and Ouki see their movie everyone should get some sleep, they are human after all.

[salemboy]

Sleep? What's that?

The normal rules for sleep don't apply to them. They could have gotten up at 3 or something that day. Since they don't have a real schedule, they can choose to stay up til 6 in the evening, but sleep in til 3 in the afternoon.

[FawkesthePhoenix]

True enough, but sleep is a great way for time to pass. We've already got 10 pages spent on one day, maybe it's time to pick up the pace a bit.
