Kindness, humility, honesty, purity, faith - The Maiden’s heart carried only these things, and nothing else. Jeanne had never received a proper education in the way of the pen and paper. Unable to read or write the girl didn’t know the proper prayers written in the prayer books, and wasn’t able to preach or pray in a way a regular priest would. 

But did a prayer really have to be from a book, for it to be worthy of the Lord’s notice? Jeanne didn’t believe so, and so she offered Him her own, sincere words. Not a day passed by, where she did not seek out the solace of the chapel. To Jeanne d’Arc, praying, and offering Him her time, was as important as breathing or eating was to others.

In the chapel, the maiden would kneel before the altar, lowering her head as she folded her hands, and finally closed her eyes. It was then, that Jeanne felt like she was in His hands. When she disconnected from the world and lost herself in a prayer. This was her safe haven, her transcendence. In her heart there was no doubt, no fear. Only faith in that He was listening. Unlike many, whom asked the Lord for aid, she offered herself to Him. Enlisted herself in His cause, offered to act as His hand in saving this world.

And as such, not a day went by, where Jeanne d’Arc would not present Him her sincerest offering of gratitude. She was, and would always be, His champion. 

I'd like to refund the base and recall station, which I haven't used yet in any storyline, so I can buy Remote Control Prof, Ranged Materialize Prof, and Advanced Telekinesis. It'll help me develop Trixie further and assist me in getting out of the Underverse. If you'd like I can eat the 200 OM as recompense for the swap out. Since the base and recall station are 2k.

SO, HOW ABOUT THAT FOOD, HUH? good stuff.

So I'm just gonna put a picture of what I'm eating for dinner here. Hopefully the rest of you Omni-people will follow suit, putting down whatever hopefully-not-burnt food you have prepared here.


*pictured: my food and a bit of my really messy desk. also a santa mug filled with pop.

Tonight's (and yesterday's) meal is (and was) some kinda squiggly pasta with parmesan cheese and pepper. Nothing fancy - it's literally just boiling a thing for a while - but it's a good. And it's probably the most I can do without risking setting my kitchen on fire.

Share your various noms here! The only rule is that you must be consuming it and/or planning to consume the foodstuff(s) pictured.

Step 1: Make a post. This post should be at least 600 words. You may also post multiple times adding up to 600 words or more.

Step 2: Click on your post number. This should be located at the top right of your post, denoted by a hashtag and a number. The URL should populate with a hashtag and post ID at the end (see the bolded part on the end here: http://omniverse-rpg.com/showthread.php?tid=81&pid=357#pid357). Copy the entire URL from your address bar.

Step 3: Post it in the active fortnightly gains topic. The date of your post should be within the date range, GMT. If you are submitting multiple posts that add up to 600, post all of the links.

Step 4 (optional): If you have posted in the current book club, please include a link to that post along with the text 'book club'.

Step 5 (optional): If you have a Recognition bonus, please include in your post 'Recognition bonus: +50'. If you have an Ascendancy bonus, please post with 'Ascendancy bonus: +100'.

That's all you need to do! When the topic is updated, you will be given 300 OM. Obviously if you have a recognition or ascendancy bonus, this will be increased by 50 or 100. A book club bonus will increase this by a further 100. If no mod has posted at the end of the topic, then it hasn't been updated yet. You do not need to ask "has the thread been updated? I didn't get my OM" every week. 

New fortnightly gains topics go up every second Sunday at midnight (at the end of Saturday and the dawn of Sunday) GMT+1/BST. The valid time begins on Sunday at 0000 hours BST and ends on Saturday at 2359 BST.

Do you have a song that you think matches your character to the core or just a bit? Talk about it here.

The frigid mountain air roared in Mei's ears as she scaled the cliff face. Heaving herself to the nearest rocky spur, her limbs wanting to rest, she leaned back and glanced down at where she had just been. Fog blocked her sight about 20 feet down, but the Overwatch member was aware of the thousands of feet she had climbed in the last few days. Despite what it sounds like, being a climatologist was actually pretty dangerous when you're dealing with these kinds of environments.

Snowball, Mei's field research drone, popped out of its charging station in Mei's cyrochamber and hovered in front of her, releasing a little stream of cold underneath it as it hovered in the air. "You mind looking for wildlife around this area?"  she asked, taking off her glasses and wiping the snow off of it with her parka. The drone chirped in response and floated out of sight, leaving the climatologist alone.

Mei had been going over her rations, concluding that this was the last she could afford to spend up here, when Snowball returned. She reached up to pet her assistant on the head. "Did you find anything?"

The drone blipped and hovered away a few feet, waiting for Mei to follow. Hoisting her backpack back on, she gave chase, taking care not to trip on anything.

When she arrived at the destination, the Overwatch member could see a large mountain goat with a white coat and gnarled horns gnawing on a patch of limp grass near a ledge. This was the first living thing Mei had seen all day, aside from a few birds flying far out of reach. There was no way she would pass an opportunity to examine such a specimen like that! Digging into the pockets of her parka, she pulled out a pad and pen. Slowly, she crept closer towards the animal.

Unfortunately, this part of the mountain wasn't designed with the weight of a human and a goat in mind. The moment her foot landed on the outcropping, a crumbling noise ensued. Terrified and bleating, the beast leaped away and out of sight. Before Mei could follow it, the rest of the ledge gave in and broke off from the mountain.

The ledge fell faster and faster until it faded into the fog, leaving the climatologist to fall to her death by herself. The wind was roaring in her ears again, and cold air whipped against her skin. Adjusting her body into a spread-eagle position, she wavered away from the mountain; at this speed, landing on the mountain would impale her. The snow at the bottom of the mountain would be her best shot at surviving.

Wailing and bleeping, Snowball came into view. Mei reached up, grabbed the drone, and embraced it in a hug. The LED liquid crystal display indicated that the robot was on the verge of panic, its eyes looking in every direction. If it had tear ducts, it probably would've been crying at this point.

"It's okay," she whispered, her voice lost in the turbulence. Shutting her eyes tight, she prepared for the inevitable impact.

Except it never came.

Her eyes opened again, only to be greeted with a void of black. ...Was she dead? Snowball floated by, seemingly just as confused. Eventually, another form appeared-- a white silhouette of a man. Could you call something that was perfectly white a "silhouette," though? Maybe it was a "silhowhite"? Despite lacking a mouth, the figure began to speak.

Quote:Omni hands you a glimmering orb in which all the colors of the rainbow coalesce. “This is Omnilium. It’s what ties the Omniverse together. Without it, you are nothing. With it, anything you desire can be yours. But you will need more than this. If you desire it enough, you will find it. You will find that using it comes naturally. Just think of what you desire most.

Quote:“You will not be alone in the Omniverse. There are others. Of course, they, too desire Omnilium. Do not fear death. For as long as you interest me, you will be reborn. “That’s all you need to know right now. You’ll figure out the rest soon enough. I’ll be watching … and waiting.”

Scarecrow felt his life slip away in Blackgate prison, his last thoughts were Bruce Wayne, and then there was the void. A cold dark place, Scarecrow was all to not surprised when a giant white figure appeared over him. The only thing Scarecrow could think of was how awkward was its smile, it reminded him of the Joker. The white figure began to speak

Hey, I'm Proto Man.  I'd like to be active, but all my friends are dead.  I'm trying to see if anyone is interested in writing together in some capacity in a like 'relaxed tempo.'  I have zero ideas what I want to do with Proto Man.  I might go to Coruscant, I guess?  I excel at blasting apart walls and banishing bad guys with only partial regrets.
