"We need to let her back in, Rick," Lisa stuttered, slyly. She knew Rick hated when she talked about "her."

     "It`s no, simply. If you want to complain, put it up with the complaint managers," Rick said, pointing to a trash bag in the seat next to him. I laughed a little. Nothing like simple humor from these guys. Of course, Marrisa wasn`t here right now. So, she was missing out.

     "Rick..." Lisa whined. She had a little too much liquid Pride tonight, and was going to win a lot of arguments. Especially, since she seemed off tonight. Like, she could through a chair a thousand miles.

     Of course, I have to tell you why we were fighting. The last writing did not include Ally Condie in it, correct? We had disbanded her from the "group", so to speak. So, Lisa was missing a good friend of hers, and wanted Ally back.

     "My answers no. And I count as two people."

     "Okay...wait. Wait a second! You`re trying to trick me, aren`t you?" Lisa held up a questioning finger at Rick. Rick turned towards me, and gave me a look that I think said," Well no duh."

     "Lisa..." I chided. She had to calm down before Rick drove off the road in the 79` Camaro. Lisa impatiently drummed her fingers on her thighs.

     "It`s okay, Ninja. Ally will just have to wait," Lisa said. I smiled, but felt sad for her. "Or, I will quit this group and make my own."

     "Wait-what?" Rick shouted, swerving off the highway. He heard a few other car horns go off, and hissed at himself silently.

     "You heard me, Rick," Lisa spat. Her words dripped with sarcasm, drool running off of her chin. "I will quit, if you don`t let Ally join back in." She sat back in her seat, thumping loudly on her thigh. She tore away from drumming and crossed her arms. She seemed oddly pleased with herself, and smiled because of it.

     "Now let`s talk about this please," Rick pleaded. He pulled back onto the highway in our rental car, the one Marrisa had picked out.

     "We did, and you pointed at the trash bags," she spat. Her words still dripped with sarcasm and drool still running down her face. I smiled at her attempts, this was going to be fun. But, the fun stopped as soon as we found at the hotel we were staying at.

     There was way too many fangirls, as far as I could tell. There was fangirls as far as the eye could see, and farther. You could make out shadows of costumes and books. So many books... I wanted to take everyone there.

     "Fangirls!!!!!!!!!" I heard Lisa scream. She was stopped by Rick, as he clamped a hand over her mouth.

     "Shh, they can smell fear," he whispered. He turned into a parking spot and turned off the lights.

     "Are you a madman?" Lisa hissed. "They will tackle us, and then drown us in their pens and markers."

     "Not if I send Percy out first," Rick said, unbuckling his belt. He smiled and tossed me a book of his. "Ninja, remember when I had Percy shadow travel?" I looked down at the book I was now holding. The Last Olympian was now rearranging itself in my head. I nodded, because I remember everything I read. Natural born talent.

     "You did that on purpose, didn`t you? You did it for this reason," I whispered, smiling. The pieces were falling into place at hand. "So you have attacked by fangirls."

     "Yes, and he`s properly himself now. He can come to us if you throw that book out there. I will do the rest," he whispered. I slowly opened the car door into the black night. I looked at the fangirls, and they seemed to follow the movement of my arm. Anxiously waiting to see what I would do. Creepy. I quickly tossed the book into a light of the street lamp on the sidewalk. The girls smiled and waited, jumping up and down in the dewy grass. The gray motel was in front of us, so close, but so faraway. I looked at the fangirls as Percy materialized out of the book.

     "Woah," I breathed. The fangirls hopped up and down in excitement, and I seen some pass out. Percy waved at them, and from then on, it was like watching a tornado. Rick and Lisa ran out of the car, and into the motel, but I stayed. Percy was drowned by a wave he could not control. He raised his arms in protection, but the wave toppled over him. He struggled to stay up, popping above the sea a few time, but then surrendering to the sea`s will. Drowned out by fangirls. Scariest de*ath ever. I continued to watch the horror, as Rick tried to grab my arm. "Percy!!!!!!!!" I shouted, over the screams of the writers. "PERCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

     "Ninja, c`mon..." Rick growled, carrying me out of the car. I started to cry, as I seen the last of the girls settle. They walked away, and there was nothing left.

     "How could you?" Lisa shouted. She was crying hard, in the comfort of Ally`s arms. Yep, Ally was back. With a new friend too.

     "I agree with Lisa, on this matter," James Patterson stated. He was now in the group, as Ally was reinstated.

     "You guys don`t understand," Rick shouted, as he slumped down in his chair. Our motel room was quite small and could hardly hold us all. We had two beds, and two chairs. One small bathroom, and a kitchen. No T.V., no internet, or computer. Just that. The walls were a sickening orange, and the carpet a dark blue. But, the place was well kept and out of sight. So, we couldn`t complain. Except for today.

     "Oh really. You sacrificed one of your characters. That`s not right, Rick," Marrisa hissed, loudly. I rolled my eyes at her.

     "What if it was Percy`s choice? Cinder would`ve done it for you. As Max to James, Alex to Lisa, Cassie to Ally, and Kat to me. Did you think about that?" I yelled. I was sick of fighting. Marrisa raised a finger in argument, but looked to the side curiously and put it down.

     Rick smiled. "See. That`s a good girl, making people see the other side of things."

     "I am NOT a good girl under any circumstances. And you, Mister, can kiss my friendship goodbye if you made Percy do that on purpose," I snapped. I turned my head around to see him, and scowled. I gave my best "I will seriously give you a bad slug if you don`t see what I am pointing out" look. It looked kinda like this     all put together.

     "Ugh......." Lisa coughed. She pulled away from Ally`s shirt, which was now soaked with Lisa`s magical tears.

     "You want a dry one?" Marrisa asked, quietly as she passed Ally. Ally nodded, and Marrisa pressed something into her hand. Ally went into the bathroom and I continued to glare at Rick.

     "Please quit with the accusing. I didn`t do anything wrong, and Ninja is just a hypocrite," Rick shouted.

     "How dareith you. I will pound you with all the heavens, seas, and skies if you dare mock me again!!!" I screamed. Rick jerked back a little, knowing I might actually do it. Then he relaxed.

     "You wouldn`t dare," he said, with a sarcastic smile.

     "Bite me," I snapped, and he frowned. It was about to go down.

     "DON`T," Marrisa screamed. "Can`t we all just be friends? I mean, c`mon. Rick did do something horrible, but haven`t we all. I mean, Ninja made a character that could k*ill us all, I got mad at Rick, Lisa had too much liquid pride, Ally got kicked out, and James...what did James do?"

     "Nothing. As usual, I am the good writer," he whispered. He smiled and we all started to shout at him, each other, ourselves. It was chaos, until Lisa started to sing. She still had tears streaming, but she was the loudest of us all. Soon, we had all stopped arguing and listened to Lisa.

     "Why can`t we be friends, why can`t we be friends? Why can`t we be friends, why can`t we be friends?" she sang, softly. I joined in.

     "I seen you around for a long, long time. Ya," I sang. Marrisa smiled, and sang the next verse.

     "I really remembered you when you drink my wine," she smiled. Ally had come out from the bathroom and joined in too.

     "Why can`t we be friends, why can`t we be friends? Why can`t we be friends, why can`t be friends?" we all sang in unison. We laughed and continued to sing, while James took the next verse.

     "I seen you walkin` down in Chinatown," he giggled. I laughed real hard, and Rick finally gave up and sang.

     "I called you, but you could not look around," Rick sang, and then we all laughed at how we sucked. But, we still continued.

     "Why can`t we be friends, why can`t be friend? Why can`t we be friends, why can`t be friends?" We all sang together. We laughed and rolled around on the floor because we were laughing so hard. 

      Then the door to our room burst open, revealing a very torn up Percy, Annabeth, and Nico.

     "Mr.Riordan, sir," Percy said.

     "Yes," Rick whispered. He was overcome with laughter and fell back to the ground. I sat up and was shocked.

     "I hate you very much Mr.Riordan, sir," Percy hissed.

     "Why?" Rick laughed, sadly.

     "Fangirls can smell fear." And then we all burst out laughing.

I finally found a good paint program, Paint.net.

A lot of people have told me to use GIMP, [and, I have it on my PC] but I like paint.net because of it's a lot easier to learn than GIMP, and doesn't take hours upon days of studying [on the users part] to get a grasp on how to use it.

and, It's not as stressful on my PC.

I also like the ability to use ether RGB or HEX code when making a color.

Speaking of HEX codes, do any of you have any good ones you wouldn't mind sharing? I'm mainly looking for skin tones at the time, but, any color you would be willing to share be great.

Willing to do whatever to ensure the success of a G.I.S.H.W.H.E.S 2013 team that would be willing to accept us into their fold

As written by , and categorized/edited by

Hi, I'm Shwaf and I have two friends called Morgan and Isis. We are all 15 years old and would be extremely willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the success of a G.I.S.H.W.H.E.S 2013 team who would be willing to accept us! 

We're all free during August 11-18 so we should be able to do whatever during this time. 

Seeing how the next registration is in about 3 days, let's get down to business.

So this is kinda what we've got I guess:

Location: We live in Hong Kong SAR, China.

Contacts/Access to Areas

• We have connections to a fire-breather, juggler, magician, nearly professional yo-yo expert, nearly professional guitarist, etc.
• We have friends (or at least enough acquaintances to do some photos which require multiple people like 8-13 or something).
  
• We have connections to people who could be considered somewhat musically talented. We may also have access to a church choir and a handchime group, however unlikely in only a week.
• We have connections to people who own snakes, lizards, tortoises, frogs, tarantulas, scorpions, cockatiels and axolotls.
• We have connections to dentists (and their dental equipment), people with racecar trophies, people with tennis trophies, university professors, people who work in internet companies, lawyers, people who are connected to gum companies, social dancers, professional artists, etc.

• We have access to a rather professional looking auditorium and ampitheatre.
• We have enough money to take a taxi and the underground/train/subway/MTR/whatever you call it in your part of the world to most places in Hong Kong.

• We can karate chop the Bruce Lee statue in Hong Kong. 
• Two of us also can do a bridge where they can touch their ankles from behind as well as the splits and various uncomfortable positions like that. (Shwaf and Isis)
• One of us has passed in their grade 8 Chinese dance exam (Shwaf), and one of us has earned a distinction in their grade 5 Chinese dance exam a couple years back (Isis).
• According to Dance Central, one of us can dance rather well. (Shwaf)
• One of us can do basic capoeria, brazilian ju jutsu and muaythai. (Isis. Shwaf can do a bit).
• We can attempt Tai-Chi.
• One of us can do basic gymnastics as an ex-gymnast 3 years out of training - cartwheels, round-offs, front handsprings, basic vaulting, handstands, front/back walkovers etc. (Isis)

• People have referred to us as artsy people (We suppose we can draw both digitally and traditionally but not like amazingly amazing, just like 'satisfactorily satisfactory').
• One of us can edit videos (they use Final Cut Pro), preferably without needing to do any digital special effects though. (Shwaf)
• One of us can scuba dive and can arrange a session to scuba dive in less than a week. (Morgan)
• Instruments we can play or know people who can play include piano, violin, guitar (electric, acoustic and bass), ukulele, didgeridoo, drums, organs, etc.

• One of us can play contract bridge (Isis)
• We have some experience in making songs that are pretty crappy but songs nonetheless.
• One of us is willing to eat nearly anything. For example, various animal organs, insects, paper, cardboard, genetically modified pig kidney mangoes, etc. As long as it's less than 30% alchohol and does not include any drug related substances. (Shwaf)
• We are willing and able to dance, sing, cry, leapfrog, etc in front of museums, statues, government buildings, harbors, etc

• We still have our baby teeth somewhere to use if duty calls.
• We have a lot of action figures. A lot. And we are willing to use them when duty calls.
• One of us has a wooden Parasaurolophus skeleton that's about 60 cm tall. (Morgan)
• We have a lot of Rubik's Cubes and stuffed toys to spare if duty calls.
• We have connections to someone who has basic skills in making websites and programming using java and jQuery.
• We have connections to people who can cook some nice risotto as well as a professional chef. 
• We have connections to the FreeMasons and Knights of the Temple (this is seriously legit, I have a ceremonial sword if duty calls). Preferred if this was avoided.
• We have a camera and a tripod. 
• We have a 12 inch Raiden.
• We have a lot of rice.

So yeah that's about it we think, though we literally just wrote everything we could think of in about 10 minutes so we're sorry if some of it sounds generic.

I hope you'll find us interesting enough for your team!

Send , , or a message if you would be interested!

You woke up by the sound of an alarm clock. It made you sit up immedidately, you were having a nightmare. You angrily glanced at the clock that had awoken you. 

Jeff the Killer

Well Trubies we are now onto Season 6 with so far the most top secret season to date…To recap, Season 5 ended with Bill drinking the blood of Lilith in front of Sookie and Eric where he achieved the true death only to rise out of the bloody ashes as Lilith incarnate or better known as Bilith.  The other story lines happening where Merlotte's became a delivery room for fairy babies, the vampires were trying to get away from the Authority while Sam, Luna and Emma were clinging to escape after seeing Luna faint on nation television.

Important Plot: The episode starts off just after the Season 5 finale with Bill feeling confused over these new powers as a character from a horror film demanding to know what he is as well as pleading for someone to help him. This episode deals mainly with power and understanding the full extent of the power given causing an individual to become either mad or using it for a noble purpose. Bill has these new powers such as telekinesis, survive staking, disarm vampires older than him with ease, flying and seismic activity that scare the group but mainly himself. Bill starts off this story to Jessica about a civil war general who was once a good man but became a mad with power later on making him the most feared general in the Civil War. In this story, Bill is pleading to Jessica whatever happens; she must do whatever it takes to keep him as the man he is even if their relationship becomes ruined the process. The relationship between Jessica and Bill in this episode is wonderful to watch because while Sookie does not hesitate in staking Bill to save Eric's life, Jessica becomes the only one who defends her maker even standing up to Sookie and Eric. It also becomes clear it is in fact Jessica not Sookie who can help Bill stay sane and be the healthier companion for him which does not seem to be a problem for Sookie as she finally gets her house back from Eric and plans to go back to work the next day as though nothing happened. One interesting tidbit which was a continuity problem was how Eric went on about caring for the innocent Sookie in a white dress as when she first met him at Fangtasia. The problem with this was Sookie wore the white dress the night she gave herself to Bill while first meeting Eric was a red dress (granted it was white and red but known as the red dress). Thought that was interesting and it gave some hope to the Eric/Sookie fans because while white represents innocence something both Sookie and Eric want to go back to; the scene showed Sookie still has feelings for Eric from being truly regretful in rescinding his invitation.

    At the same time due to the vampire edicts and the mess the Authority made, the Governor of Louisiana decrees curfews and quarantining the life of all vampires. What becomes interesting is the retaliation between the humans to where it is now justified rather than by intolerance and seeing the vampires for once take responsibility for the mess they created because some book which no one truly believe said so. Although not entirely familiar with states' rights so questioning the legality of what the Governor is doing in correlation with the United States government and wondering why hasn't the SWAT team, National Guard, Homeland Security or FBI arrive to take care of the situation. The VRA did not pass but wouldn't the vampires have some form of public office or are tax paying citizens so these laws about curfew are dealing into the territory of a certain fascist government which was around some 80 years ago. To make matter worse, this same governor makes a deal with the distributors of the True Blood drink and his propositions seems so shady not surprised if he starts lacing silver nitrate onto the drinks causing vampire deaths due to a manufacturing error while still solving the vampire problem.

Semi-Important Plot: What goes on here does coincide with the overall storyline but does have merits on its own which need to be further elaborated.

    Hearing about the state of Louisiana declaring war on the vampires along with Bilith causes Pam, Tara, Eric, Jason and Nora go to at each others throats with Eric doing everything possible not to get anyone killed. The downside with being calm for the sake of staying alive causes a bigger rift between Pam and Eric where it does become evident how abuse the relationship between these two truly is. Yes they hit each other but the main abuse comes from how much Eric demands Pam to be blindly loyal to him where whenever she does a single act of defiance, Eric begins to hit her or state how it's important to trust him with no questions. Maybe Eric does some idea what he is talking about but track record between him and Pam has stated he is willing to choose anyone else rather than Pam when it comes to trust but still needs her because she is the only one who will blindly love him. Nora's dealings with this whole scenario are almost out of a detective novel trying to understand how Jason knows about Warlow (which is revealed to be the first progeny of Lilith) at the same time finding out how Sookie can work the advantage in staying alive since Eric still has a torch for her.

    The best way to describe Jason comes off as a madman when finally discovering the true loyalties of Sookie as well as with the recent events regarding his parents. In perhaps making the dumbest decision (even by Jason standards) anyone has done on this show, Jason hitches a ride from this strange old man and begins telling his story but leaves out certain details in which the man reveals to be Warlow. That is not possible since we the audience know the character is a fairy but the whole Warlow mystery may not be as clear cut as the show is giving it at the moment since fairies connecting to Warlow still does not make any sense. Interestingly though, Jason does acknowledge his parents' ghosts are not normal and one is not sure whether it's the effects from the fairy blasts or if it is in fact Jason's mind is slowly coming undone after dealing with a useless molestation story, best friend leaving and the discovery of having parents killed by a mysterious but powerful vampire.

             When Pam states to Tara they are not some epic love story, she actually does have an excellent point. Not saying that these two may or may not end up together, but while Pam can find a friend in Tara, Pam is acknowledging for the first time in her life how dangerously loyal she is to Eric that is does not allow her to form any kind of relationship with anyone. Hearing how Pam describes it almost feels like hearing those women who gets abused by their spouses but stay because there is no other life they know. Even being released has not gotten rid the hold Eric has on Pam but it's not entirely Eric fault because at the same time, Pam has a submissive personality that allows her to be exploited by anyone who is willing to give her a better situation than the one she is currently at no matter if it risks her life. With Tara on the other hand, she does have the mentality of "we fucked so it is together forever" yet tries to help the only person at the moment who completely understands her. Whatever insecurities Pam has to deal with get pushed aside as some soldiers arrive to Fangtasia arresting and disarming both Pam and Tara causing more danger to them than before.

Everything Else: Alcide became packmaster of his wolf tribe were after making his Braveheart speech began feasting on the flesh of the previous packmaster. Due to having all the power of being an alpha wolf, Alcide now has all the girls after him which surprisingly is not much of a problem in the eyes of Rikki as she is offering up whomever if willing as long as he goes back to her at the end of the day. Although, the possibility of Alcide being consumed of power is understandable since it was learned last season the previous packmaster was raping girls and drugging the pack while Marcus would order hits while the packmasters of Mississippi would rather stay in power than fight a 3000 year old vampire. Based on those odds, Alcide can be controlled but this episode's theme of acknowledging corruption discusses how the environment one is in, situation and will power could change the werewolves for the better or for the worse.

            Sam must be the Ruby Lucas of True Blood since now Luna has died from the effects of the skin-walking after revealing to the world the vampires were in fact murdering with intent but at the same time exposing the world of the shifters. Luna dying was not really the worse part of this but more of how Emma and Sam are dealing with it, while Sam it is left to the audience and later events Emma is almost numb when explaining to Lafayette she is hungry. These two are probably the ones who are having it the worse off at the moment since they have no idea what is going to happen in the future but all that matters to Sam is Emma being safe since now both vampires and shifters are in grave danger.

    The storyline with Andy and his fairy daughters is the comic relief of the episode and in its own way has some importance not the central storyline but more about seeing the human psyche regarding parenting. Andy has become a single father to quadruplets and he is honestly scared to death about what to in anything while Arlene starts to yell at him to get out of his pity party and take care of children. Every season has had Andy being belittled by the town or his own insecurities about no one relying on him but now he has these little girls who mysteriously aged 5 years after a few hours that are depending on their father in practically everything. Normally the scenario with parenthood is either you know it or you don't with a bit of common sense and here Arlene points it out parenting isn't just imprinted job where you learn through experience even help from others. You can't help but root for Andy taking care of these children proving to not only his family but to himself that he does have worth.

Overall: This episode actually defied all my expectations where it was honestly better than all 12 episodes of Season 5 could ever wish it was. The opener felt as though the show was going to its Gothic roots from the first two seasons where this time the stakes are higher and the characters can stop for a minute to breathe. If the remaining 9 episodes of Season 6 are going to be as good as or better than this episode then this season has a lot of promise for starting so strong. I think the only thing that really irritates me about this episode is how something this good was a product from a season of horrendous plotlines with an embarrassing story. Okay will stop bashing Season 5, but this first episode would probably be one of the better True Blood season openers along with S2, 1 and 4. Everything was well paced to where the parts that nothing to do with the main story got their necessary time and had some remembrance where it was funny, sad, sexy and/or insightful. The stuff with Bill was nothing of what I expected so kudos to it, Eric's conversations with Nora, Pam and Sookie really do bring out a lot of his character where you can see he does know when to put his ego out of the equation during an important situation. Really looking forward to seeing the following weeks ahead and we have about 9 more weeks left to enjoy the ride.
