The heat of the lower levels subsided behind the faunus with each set of stairs she climbed. Warm air wasn't her favorite, though, she preferred the chilling cold of the Frozen Fields just like Atlas back home. The air was crisp and harsh to the skin. She used to believe the frozen air was the reason she became so resilient to harsh weather and toughen her warrior spirit. 

When she reached the surface, she took a deep breath of that air in and let all sink in. The smells of white hot irons from blacksmiths and fresh foods like bread and meats filled her nostrils. Amber gazed upon the kingdom she had come to unite in the frozen wastes many considered inhospitable, besides trolls, dwarves and dragons, and smiled contently with the progress. It had come to her attention, however, that sourcing power out here could be difficult, even for a Prime of her stature. As much as she would love to just snap her fingers and lights poof to existence, that seemed more draining than she thought. Those lights would still need to be powered, and the furthest their power source reached was the bar and the security door at the wall.

The faunus sighed to herself. She would likely have to get stronger before she decided to power and entire city by herself. Her train of thought was interrupted by a woman running through the dirt/snowed streets of Atlas flailing her arms for the cat girl's attention.

“Amber! Hey!” She yelled, waving her arms back and forth. Many civilians giving her bewildering glares as she does so. When she finally caught up to the faunus, she had to catch her breath before she could speak. Her face and hair was covered in dirt, as if she had showered in clumped mud. Her clothing easily signified her as one of the Atlas miners.

“Uh, hi?” Amber muttered confusedly. “Do I know you?”

“No.” The woman said gasping for relief. “But, sure do know you. You run the show here, and there's a big problem.”

“What is it?! Trolls? Giants? Oh shit, did the dragons come after me to avenge Votamiks?” Amber said reaching back for the giant sword holstered to her backside.

“No, no, and no, but our miners are in big trouble. We found a gem like nothing I’d ever seen before and when we tried to mine it out of the ore, BOOM!” The dirt covered woman shouted. “The damn thing exploded and trapped our miners in a cave in. At least ten good men are stuck in the cave now.”

“Y-You found Dust? In the Omniverse?” The cat asked surprisingly. She never expected to find a pure source of Dust anywhere but Remnant. It was practically unbelievable, which made her think that perhaps this was merely a joke to gawk at her inability to return home.

“Yeah, there’s a whole lot of it in caves, you know?” The miner said, obviously oblivious to the term ‘Dust’ as compared to that of a native of Remnant. “It’s sort of the thing for caves.”

“No! Dust! As in a physical material used as power sources and focuses for magical powers?! You're telling me a crystal like substance exploded and caused a cave in around your workers? What did it look like?” She asked putting her sword hand back down at her side and finding it’s way to cross at her chest.

“Well,” The miner attempted to recall the details. “It was red. Looked nothing like ruby or garnet, though, even if it was uncut. I'd say it was like a rock, but had a faint shine to it like glass.”

“That is dust! Take me there now! This is more important than you could possibly imagine!” The faunus shouted frantically.

“The miners are st-”

“Yeah, we’ll free the miners and then you’ll show me these crystals.” Amber interrupted, getting a nod in response. She pulled out her scroll and called up Murasaki.

’Yo.’ His voice scratched through faint static.

“‘Saki, I think our miners just found Dust.” She said without even a proper hello.

’Wait, Remnant Dust? There’s Dust in the Omniverse, unrefined?’ He asked.

“I was just as confused as you are. I'm going to investigate this right now, if this real, this could be a turning point for Atlas. We would be able to filter a stronger source of power with lightning Dust.” She explained through frantic heaving as the miner lead her through the snow capes towards their primary mining operation.

Upon arrival, Amber knew they had found Dust. She could smell the blazing crystal fragrance in the air, like singed hair. The horrid aroma brought her back nostalgically. It made her feel even more at home in the frozen wasteland she had to make due with. The miner, on the other hand, grew a disgusted expression to the smell and urged Amber into the cave. The smell only intensified upon entering the dark mountain crevice.

The only light available were some torches until the got deeper into the tunnel system. Rocks had fallen from the ceiling and disturbed the dirt around them. Any torches that were lit before the incident were gone now.

“It’s just up here.” Said her travel companion. She could see it: The mound of dirt and rocks that had obviously fallen from a disrupted patch in the caves dirt-roof. Getting through such a wall would not be easy but Amber was anything but a quitter.

13 had been walking for a while now, he was thinking about everything that happened when Perkins rang him about how he got a bounty and a few questions about what they were meant to do now. After answering all the questions 13 thought about what he was going to do when he saw the fountain. He walked over, nodding at the Stormtroopers. One of them fumbled with his weapon and aimed at while a different one whispered to him “This is above our pay grade, ready your communicator rather than your gun just in case.” 13 sat down on the fountain edge and thought about his fight with Asriel. He could still see the scorch marks on the fountain and saw what was possibly, no definitely, some fur still floating in the fountain’s water. It was such a pity that a misunderstanding had led to him almost being killed. 13 expelled that thought from his head and focused on what mattered at the moment, improving his body. 13 summoned a tool kit, and what we needed to complete the surgery. His stomach had been flesh for too long and it was time to change that. After a long, messy surgery, 13 picked up the tool kit and flung his stomach into the fountain’s water. Ready for whatever was going to stop him from achieving his goals, 13 walked off into the Tangled Greens.

Quote:This takes place before 13 gets beaten up by Dane.

Yes, yes I know, this is one day late :derp: Leave me alone.

Anyone want to write some scary two-sentence stories for Halloween? If you don't know what I'm talking about, search it! There's plenty.

As an example, I'll start. (I'm terribad at horror stories by the way :awesome: )

Quote:The horror story I read was about a vampire who made its victims drink water after feeding to replenish their blood. I found it silly until the next morning I saw an empty wet glass in the sink, and felt an itch on my neck.

Quote:As I handed him the "treat" candy, I told the kid with the hockey mask that the bloodstains on his machete and clothes looked very real. "Your neighbor insisted on trick instead of treat", it replied.

As time progresses, I'm starting to see more and more issues with the Omniverse. Things that individually would have me only disgruntled, but as they pile up I'm... honestly quite fed up with it...

That being said, it seems I'm the only one who sees these issues, which officially makes me the problem, not the site. Site is fine for those who like it, and I'm just the one trying to be a pretty little snowflake and getting huffy when I don't get my way.

In truth, I don't understand it. I really don't. The powers and proficiencies are simple enough, but trying to get a move approved is like sawing off a leg. Stats make it even more complicated, because no one seems to know what they mean. 

I was tempted to write a real shitfest as my parting words, complete with a list of Omniverse's issues, full of snark, but thought better of it. It might've got me banned. I still plan to swing around to read some threads, even if I can't write.

I would like to apologize to the people I've vented to, no doubt annoying quite a few people with ignorance and bullheadedness. 


Anyway... I'd like to have my rosters (Gunther Stein and Ziyada) removed and Stein's thread nixed from the Accolade nominations. Omni can change his avatar/title to the next request in line.

You like having more people to play with, right? That was a rhetorical question, because having more people to write with is awesome. Do you also like OM? If the answer is 'yes', which OBVIOUSLY it is, then please vote for us on the following sites!

RPGfix (every 12 hours. If you register, your votes count as x2. Worth the couple of minutes to make an account if you're going to be voting every day)
Top RP Sites (Daily)
Forum Roleplay (Daily. Please also leave a rating/review/comment!)
Top Site List Planet (Daily.)

Vote on all sites, then post here with "Vote 1". When you vote on all sites again, post "Vote 2". You are allowed to vote again 12 hours after your previous vote, and we're okay if that only affects RPGfix. However, you should be trying to vote on all sites, as the reset times vary.

Tl;dr: Vote for all the sites, put "1". Next day, do the same and put "2". If you're really hardcore, you can vote every 12 hours, but it's not necessary.

If we find out your votes aren't being counted (and yes, we take the times you voted into account) we will give you the benefit of the doubt the first time as a mistake. However, if it happens again, or if we think you're not bothering or simply haven't read this, we will remove your voting privileges and you will no longer be eligible for this monthly bonus.

At the end of the month, if you posted ...

5-10 times: You get 100 OM.
11-16 times: You get 200 OM.
17-22 times: You get 300 OM.
23-28 times: You get 400 OM.
29+ times: 500 OM, and a fistbump from me for being so damn diligent.

Addtionally, if we get over 400 votes on Top RP sites this month, everybody who voted, even once, gets a bonus 100 OM!

If you have an alternate character and wish to claim your reward on that account as opposed to your main one, please let us know in the topic before the month ends. If you don't, we'll assume you want the OM on the account you posted with.

Thanks for voting everyone! If you have time, please also leave a vote and review for us on Top RPG sites(once only).

So, firstly, if staff isn't sure what 'Dust' is, it id a material source of magic that is mined like minerals in Remnant(RWBY). It has applications for the fighter of the world that allow them to weild magic and harness it many different ways(Elemental ammunition, spells, etc.)

My question is: Would it be pluasable to find Dust in the Omniverse, like mine it up? If so, I would think the Frozen Fields would make most sense because in Remnant, Atlas(the snowiest kingdom on the planet) is the largest supplier and producer of Dust. I ask because this could make an interesting storyline for more than just Amber but possibly other Primes.
