[Hmm it was not necessarily just the language, grammatically speaking, it was how this person played, it was immature. But I know there are mature kids too, who have a good grip on how reality functions.

I would be surprised to be younger than you, but I suppose I'll write it off as "vigorous". That is to say you're lively in a way I wouldn't expect from someone older than I. Do I seem younger to you?

For buffer and diversity sake I meant more actual people, not more characters.]

Hearing what Randy was asking, Mylo instantly stood when their table was called. Ricky looked defeated and turned his gaze to Randy. "Last summer Mylo didn't come to camp, he was with a band. Going to competitions and all this..."

"It was nothing, just small band stuff." Mylo snickered, "I'm starving..." He said, trying to put the subject to rest. He left Ricky to talk with Randy and got a quick head start on them to the food line.

Ricky shook his head, a little urked with Mylo. "After that summer the band totally broke up. It sounded like they went out with a bang. Something happened between them. Mylo won't tell me what happened though..." He sighed, "Shall we?"

Shin shrugged, "I'm new. Before this year..." He paused and looked at the table for a moment, to think out how he wanted to put this. "I would be with my relative. Last year I was on a family reunion."

Frey moved around annoyed, unable to sit still. "I'm new per say. I use to go to this one camp, but they forbid me from returning. I've had a few camp experiences like that." He stared at Brutis with his cold grays. "I've calmed down a lot since I was younger. I don't play pranks and try to screw with the counselors like I use to. I also don't believe in ghosts or Santa Clause. I didn't even need my parents to tell me Santa Clause wasn't real. I knew when they told me they were fucking liars. Kind of when they said they still loved me and got divorced anyway." He looked away. "The custody battle was more like 'Who takes the kid'." He bit his lip, wishing he hadn't said all that.

"I use to go to a sports camp..." Lylia answered. "It was a basket ball camp actually, but I busted my knee a couple months ago." She rubbed her right knee. "It's hard to see, but I have a brace on it. It wasn't really that bad, but my parents wouldn't let me go to camp with my leg like this. Shin told me about this camp and I tagged along. I didn't actually know Frey was coming...." She noted, not maliciously, more like shyly. "A-are there really ghosts though? I don't know if I want to stay if there are ghosts."

"Geez he's just messing with your naive little head." Frey snickered.

Shin frowned and looked to Brutis. "He'll be in a better mood after he eats."

Frey scowled. "Hey, get your room mate to piss off. I'm getting sick of him and don't say stupid shit about me."

"Watch you mouth." Lylia muttered, knowing it wouldn't help.

(*laughs* Yes, you seem younger than me (and not just 'cause you ARE younger than me). This is why I love the internet. Age and gender and all the "tell-tale" signs can be reversed. I actually used to pose as a male when I first started out. I broke quite a few hearts when they found out that "Maxwellcat5" was really a girl. XD Ah, good times, good times...

But yeah, I guess I forgot about immaturity. The girl I know (she's older now) acted much more mature than me. Actually, there's these personality tests that tell you how the eldest sibling is supposed to act, the middle child, and the youngest (with the in-betweeners). *chuckles* I act more like the youngest while my sister acts more like the eldest child. We kinda broke that test. XD)

Randy blinked, then laughed as he slapped Ricky's shoulder, "well I'll be damned! Patterson's in a band, too! Man, I wonder what other coincidences I'll be runnin' on into today..." He grinned at Ricky as he headed for the line. "So what do you do, buddy?"

----

Brutis listened to them. Man, were they a lively bunch. But he defintely wanted to make the ghost thing clear. Last year, some kid didn't really listen to the counslers. They were one of the missing ones. Brutis felt a bit responsible; the kid was in his cabin.

"The ghosts are real," he said in a know-it-all tone. "Wait 'til the ghost walk in a few days. Or, better yet, if you don't believe me go to the lake at night. But just don't swim in it." He shook his head, eyes wide. "You'll get dragged in by her."

[Really? How do I seem younger? You never really elaborate on what you say. If I were to try to understand your point of view I would guess it would be from how often I'm curious and worried. I've come to realize curiosity is something of a curse in the "real world". Well, I assumed you were younger than me to begin with, but look how that turned out, so I'm curious to know your reasoning. It was pretty obvious to me you're female. What do you think I am? I think it's pretty obviously, so I shouldn't be asking. I think it's pretty clear we don't think anything alike.

Haha, well I do not trust personality tests that don't have a long track record and researched background. I suppose I act like the older sibling, I don't really look it though. Is it proper for you to be writing things as "acted more mature than me", isn't it "more mature than I"? For some reason this is... bothering me. Well ignore that and answer my questions in the first paragraph... Why do I seem younger than you?]

Ricky was a little disturbed by Randy's sudden friendliness. "Well, actually a lot of kids are in bands nowadays and he's not in it..." He stopped seeing as Randy was asking another question now. Ricky felt his stomach wince with hunger pain and advanced towards the buffet line. "Uh, what do I do? Normal stuff you know... go to school, that kind of thing. I don't have a job or anything. I like to fish occasionally. You?" He asked.

[If it seems like I'm going to fast, just say so. I expect that you'll fill-in backtrack, but I see that's not your style...]

"No! No! Ghosts..." Lylia whined and shivered.

"Fuck, I'm not dealing with this bull shit anymore." Frey got up from the table in a jostling fashion and rigidly stomped over to the end of the line.

"Frey, it's not our turn yet." Shin sighed. "I guess it can't be helped." He turned his attention back to the two who were behaving themselves and still here. "Even I can be convinced of ghosts if there is real proof for it, but that kid, Frey, over there, it'll take more than proof to convince him. It's like he'll have to be in a casket and buried before he knows he's dead." Shin joked.

(Well, assumption mostly. You had assumed that I was a personality type and very much vived to figure it out. I've noticed that the younger generation is a helluva lot more curious than the older ones. *laughs* Another thing is the way you role play, though from what I've seen in the forum too I guess it's a style. I'm just old fashioned I guess... And the third point was that you assumed that I was younger than you. Usually a sign (but there are exceptions to everything, of course).

Sorry 'bout the language 'n grammar mix-ups when I'm writing. I tend to write how I talk and I come from Southwestern Pennyslvania. XD It's incredily notorious for the bad grammar and horrible dialect. We have words like "yins", " 'n at", "red up" (meaning "to lightly clean a room"). We say "yella" instead of "yellow" and phrases like "I'll take that chip-chopped ham t'go wit mah Miller Light 'n at. I gotta head dahntahn fer th'Stiller game." XD I fuckin' LOVE it here. I figure as long as I'm writing correctly in the Rp, it shoudn't matter how I type OOC.

I think I'm gonna do the color thingy 'cause with this large amount of text it all meshes in.)

Randy liked to talk while walking so it was good that Ricky had resumed as he spoke.

"Eh, nothin' much. I'm th'quarterback on our team back 'n Jacksonville. But I like t'ga-" he was interrupted as a random person hollered from somewhere, "CENA SUCKS!"

Randy turned his head with a bark of a laugh. "Screw you!" he yelled back, though didn't know who had said it. "Fucker..." he muttered with a smirk as he looked at Ricky. He loved it when people reacted to his shirt.

Melbourne was also in line. He was at the table that Mylo 'n them were, but at the other end. He noted Mylo, but didn't approach him. It seemed that the other teen didn't really like talking to him.

'And why would he,' Mel mused with a dejected sigh.

----

(Mrow, well, change is always a good thing... I just don't like backtracking 'cause, apparently, my characters are difficult and tend to change situations. So I think of it along the lines of "Ah, but what if someone had said "so 'n so" then would that character had changed what they did?". I guess I just don't get the back tracking thing.)

One of the counslers approached Frey with a smile, "sorry bud, you gotta go wait." She motioned her hand back to the table where she had seen him come from.

Brutis grinned, cocking his head to the side, "well... Wanna prove it to him then?" He defintely wasn't going to take them to the lake. But playing a trick on the newbies was always fun. All the older kids did it.

[Yes, I did assume you had/have a personality that has functions and attitude (I think you might be an ISFJ or something [which has to be a rather general guess anyway], which would almost make you the exact opposite of what I am.) With my mother it's impossible to explain this to her as well. Perhaps that should have been a sign to me that you're likely older. Though I know sensing types, those who like solid, physical fact have a little trouble with the tests. I don't know why. I've rarely met people who are not at all curious about their own personalities. I suppose curiosity does play quite a role in it though. I noticed that myself, that adults don't seem nearly as curious as kids, but I'm very curious. Perhaps more than I was when I was younger. I wonder why that is. It would be a shame to grow out of it, in my opinion.

I didn't assume, I asked, I wanted to make sure you were not. I was a bit worried about it. Being older than I could be a problem too, no actually, age is rather irrelevant in the end I suppose. Depending on the type of person you are I want to approach certain situations correctly. For instance I'm beginning to think that something I had planned from the beginning won't work out so well now. It doesn't matter, I suppose I'm simply not use to the "accent". My mother is quite the grammar nazi.

I know I might be lengthy in this OOC, but I actually enjoy discussions and bringing up questions and statements I think are curious. As I've written before, my personality type is an abstract thinker who tends to be lengthy and despite the fact I know you dismiss that I wish I could understand you a little better. It's easier to get to know people in RL.

I've never had any comments about my Roleplaying being.... different and I've role played for... four years or so, but mostly with people younger than me or around my age. Like I mentioned, I recall playing games where we would crank out long posts and then the other person back tracks and answer each paragraph. I'm thinking that has something to do with organizing- at least I greatly suspect...

That all aside, you didn't tell me what gender you thought I was. Even though I think it's obvious I'd like to hear your reasoning?]

Ricky was surprised by the interaction with Randy to the random person. "W-what was that about?" He assumed it must be teams or something. He laughed a little. "It's nice when camp is so lively."

Mylo didn't seem to notice anyone as he went about getting his food. He appeared to be a little standoffish, even miffed, after what Ricky brought up.

[That's very consecutive. I'll try not to be overwhelming with my posts then. That is- in my IC. Hahaha~]

Frey glared at the counselor and that was the length of his initial response. Like hell he was going to go sit back down now and loose his spot just to get back up a moment later. "Go away you pea brained fundamentalist. I don't want to catch you rock-head disease." Frey hissed. If he was sent back now he would refuse to eat. He thought his mother's lawyers ought to be able to shut this place down if they could get her everything she wanted, but the kid... Geez

Shin smirked a little, but his smirk faded. "Um," He looked Brutis over. "You can go for it, but I would really rather not mess with Frey. He's not...temperamentally sound... He was once thrown out of a camp, because he drugged a girl who pissed him off and cut off all her hair. I mean he's seeing a psychiatrist, but... Well, do what you want man."

"I heard he force fed her sleeping pills..." Lylia noted, but that probably wasn't true.

(XD I have fun with our OOC discussions as well. Only wish there'd be some more shounen-ai action in the Rp... Mel's my gay boy and I'll admit it, as I'm a pervert, I really would like to see something happen between him and Mylo. *laughs*

OH. I just realized that a comment I made might've been taken the wrong way. I'm against backtracking with my characters because several people I've Rped with always go "YOUR CHARACTERS ARE TOO HUMAN DAMNIT!" and usually if they have plans for the Rp, it's messed up 'cause of my characters. So I really do think back tracking isn't for the best with us... But I still would like to Rp with ya 'n at. You're very reasonable. ^.^)

Randy laughed as he patted Ricky's shoulder.

"Brother, welcome to the World Wrestling Entertainment industry," he said. "I'm a huge ass fan of th'WWE, 'specially my main man, John Cena." He pointed to his shirt. "Not ev'ryone likes 'im though. That jerk was prob'ly one of Orton's fanboys. We kinda got this rivalry goin' down; no matter where you are or who you're with, gotta make sure to state who sucks more ass." He laughed at this.

Melbourne finished getting his food as he walked back to the table, sitting down. He didn't feel too hungry. This camp wasn't starting off so well...

----

The lady blinked at Frey, then started laughing as she gave him a coy grin, "oh, so we have a talker then?" She set her hands on her hips as she leaned to his level (must be noted that she has a rack coupled with a low shirt). "A fundamentalist wouldn't be working at a kids camp, kid. Go wait like everyone else."

Brutis listened, then cracked up, "no way! No way! Someone did that last year, 'cept they just tied up the kid instead of druggin' them." He grinned to them as he set his chin on his fist. "This ain't a normal camp, guys."

[One of the reasons I would really like it if there was at least one other person, is because I'm very... unrelationships. My characters don't usually get into them very quickly or stick with them. Admittedly this somewhat reflects my personality. In reality I'm not that interested in love relationships. I've never been on a real date. Sure, I hang out with people, but I've never had a relationship. It seems to me like it would really be tiresome. I just want the sex out of it, ahahaha~ Well, I'm a pervert too, so I can understand. I'm just terrible at playing relationships, in all the RPs I've played I haven't had to.

I have never been in an rp where someone has messed up my plans or I thought their character was too human. I've never even heard of a claim like that and it's absurd I don't think I fully comprehend what you're saying. Backtracking is like what I'm doing now. My paragraphs correspond to your paragraphs. I do not normally play in Real Time, especially in the case of a free-style RPG. I thought this was a freestyle in which I would usually backtrack, but it seems to me you would prefer to play it more real time style. That's fine, it will just go slower. I'm impatient... I don't think I'm reasonable, I'm more like trivial. Lol~ Anyway, if it seems like I'm doing too much at once, just tell me. I can adapt. That's what I love about RPs, is adapting.

I suppose I should add though, I did somewhat change my plans, but they're very vague plans so I might continue them, they're just going to go slower.

Anyway, I've tried to ask this three times, what gender do you think I am?]

Ricky just smiled, wrestling hu? "Any competitive sport is going to be like that I guess. Show um your pride." Though he thought wrestling was more show than anything. Of course, he wouldn't say that to a fan.

Mylo returned to the table with his food and realized Ricky and Randy hadn't returned yet. The quiet boy from his cabin was already sitting down at the table. Mylo thought maybe he should say something, but he was already at odds with this kid. "Uh, hey." He tried anyway. He got the impression this boy really didn't want to be bothered, but then he seemed so lonely. What a pain...

Frey rolled his eyes. "Two sentences does not qualify as a talker." He sighed. He noticed her rack, but like hell he cared. He wasn't gay, but he wasn't really into boys or girls. Everyone was bellow him, in his mind. "You have no proof to say what kind of person wouldn't be at a kids camp. You probably don't even know what I'm talking about." He moved up with the line and decided to ignore her. "My tables about to be called anyway." He muttered.

"Yeah, the drugs thing was kind of... bad." Shin didn't want to talk about it anymore. Frey could be rather problematic. Shin thought he was just a class-A troublemaker though Frey considered himself the most rational person on earth. "Whatever you say." He said and smiled.

(Meeeeeeeeeeh, so you really, REALLY want me to do that thing? Well, since you're being so nice to allow me to Rp in this "real time" (I never knew that there was a word for it. XD), I guess I'll do it...

And you can add someone if you like, but I don't think anyone would want to join since we've already done so much, y'know? 'Sides, there'll be that other Rp starting up soon. *laughs* And it's fine about your characters and relationships. I'm not asking for anything to be set in stone, I just can't wait to see if something will develop.

It's not exactly absurd. The concept is very real. I mean, think about it, can you honestly see real people acting like our characters, who are subconsciously driven to do what WE want? No, they'll mess up shit and not say the right thing or just be too lazy to really do anything at all. Characters are actually bits and pieces of ourselves, only amplified and added with characteristics to try and seperate them from us. They're like the real thing, but when it comes down to it what drives them to act as they do are those small bits from us.)

Randy was luckily one of the smart ones. He knew it was totally fake and was set-up all the time. But what amazed him about the "sport" was that the men wrestling actually DID body build and were incredible acrobats when it came to performing those moves to make it seem as if they did pain. It takes a lot of strength to do so (plus, leaping off of a pole onto a man laying on a table 12 feet below is an incredible feat in itself). The teenager laughed as he slapped Ricky's back.

"Hell yeah man. I brought my portable DVD player. I'm showin' you the greatest matches known to man," he said as Ricky and him finally got to the fewd part of the line.

Melbourne blinked and looked over at him. "Hi..." he said slowly. Why was he trying to open up communications with him? He was under the impression that Mylo didn't even want to talk to him... Or maybe this was him attemping to? Melbourne's fingers brushed over his right wrist as he spoke up, "so, uh, how're you?" He bit the inside of his cheek; what kind of stupid ass question was that?!

The lady shook her head as she moved to stand in front of him.

"Two sentences of some smart ass remarks qualifies as a talker," she frumped at him before sighing. "But fine, I'll let this slide once, got it kid? Don't leap up again. You'll disrupt our fascist leadership here." She smirked and gave him a wink.

Brutis shook his head as he stretched, "damnit I'm hungry..." He vaguely wondered what had happened to that kid from the cabin before. He looked around, trying to spot him.

[No, I feel guilty if I don't correctly describe something. It's like giving false information to me, even if you don't care. Which is fine. I posted it to be right with my conscience.

I don't have anyone in mind, I was mentioning in general.

Well I understand that. But I've never really heard it as being described as too human.... That seems oxymoronish somehow. I try to diversify and live as different characters. Ricky is maybe the only one I think is really different from me. His purpose is more like retainer. The fact that he gets along with people. I try to make him very down to earth. I would playing Mylo is like trying to be the nice guy and the creative, distant guitarist at the same time. Mylo wants people to like him, but he's naturally draw to being alone and enjoying the sound of a string being plucked and echoing in vast space as if it's the only true entity that exists. He becomes futile to his music. Frey is an unrealistic character, but I sympathize with him the most. He's completely absurd if you ask me. Too argumentative and unafraid. That's what's fun about playing him though. Shin is suppose to be pretty normal. Sort of the laid back, "I won't get in the way" guy. He demands a little competence though. Lylia is a tough, responsible, yet absent-minded girl. And she's terribly superstitious and often naive. Terrence is very much about being alone and not being disturbed. He's very involved in fantasies and plotting. His issue is the deepest of my characters.

Anyway, why don't you tell me what gender you think I am? I've asked you several times...]

Ricky smiled. He'd never really watched wrestling. He actually liked Sumo for what it was worth, but maybe it would be interesting to watch. "Sure, show me some after we eat. I'm starving..." He mentioned.

Mylo felt as if Mel didn't want to talk to him, but he did ask.... "I'm okay. It's camp you know?" He mentioned and waved his fork in the air. "Are you doing alright?" He hoped that wasn't the wrong question.

"Just because I can say something smart doesn't mean I'm a smart ass." He sighed, well whatever. The air-head was going to let him stay in line. "And next time wear something a little less revealing, darling." He muttered sarcastically. "You leave nothing to the imagination." He was silenced once he got to the food. He picked stuff up and ate it right there without putting it on a tray. It took him a moment to decide to get a tray and go through the line like normal. He ate as he put stuff on his plate.

Shin was watching the person letting tables get up. It looked like they were next. His attention turned to Brutis who was looking around... "What's up?" Shin wondered.

(*laughs* I like how Lylia is a contradiction. How she's responsible, but she's incredibly naive and absent-minded. XD Lawlz is had.

I like Mel 'cause, as much as I hate to say it, he's the character that I'm most familiar with 'cause, well, he's a Gary Stu. *criez* I didn't mean to make him out like that, but he is...

Brutis is actually a fan character for... some fandom I'm not even going to name 'cause I'm actually hating on it right now. So I twisted him to be used here. He's... my attempt at acting like a thirteen-year-old, so I don't have anything set for him. I hope I'll do it right. *le sigh*

Randy's actually an antagonist in the same book Melbourne's in. He's supposed to be this racsist, biggoted prick, but Sadie manages to bash that out of him. In the Rp, I decided to have him be one of those good/bad guys, where there's no definate line of right and wrong.

Asavare and Valmir are... themselves. XD I likes them a lot. I might go further into detail about the magic-using lizard chick, but I don't know...

And I'm completely loving on Mel and Mylo right now. XD "He doesn't wanna talk to me, but I guess I'll talk to him..." versus "Why's he wasting his time, but I guess I'll humor him". LAWLZ)

"Hell yeah!" Randy laughed. He loved introducing wrestling to other people and making them a fan. It was a great atmosphere to be apart of. The two finally got their food and would be able to go sit down. It was pretty normal-ish food, nothing too bad but it wasn't great either.

Melbourne nodded as he glanced from his food to Mylo. "Yeah. I've been here before... It's alright."

(Gawd, I think I just made a pedophile...)

The woman chorted as she followed him, "oh yes. And now you're going to sit back and be all mellow because that makes it seem that you're the smarter person. Well, smart ass, I know a trouble-maker when I see one. I'll keep my eye on you." And without waiting for his response and with a grin on her face, she left to go watch over some other kids.

"I'm looking out for our buddy, that annoying kid in the cabin. Y'know, the quiet one?" he turned to Shin and Lylia. "He's not normal like you two."

[Maybe responsible isn't the right word. She's kind of a peacemaker. Hmm, all the characters I currently have in play I kind of winged on the spot so we'd have more. Well not Ricky I guess. He's usually with a Sylo or Mylo as a buffer or retainer. But usually M/Sylo's character is more like a punk.
Mylo's pretty simple though, he's all about his music when it comes down to it. He doesn't have any other really great qualities. I would say he's a pretty normal character.
Frey is just a basic character for me. He always has long black hair and an attitude. But he's weird in other ways. I've played his archetype the most probably
Shin is turning out to be a real boring normal character. I didn't have much direction or purpose with him to begin with.
I don't know about Gray Stus I've played in a lot action type RPs. My definition would probably be different.]

Ricky had made an insane salad. He'd pretty much put everything he could on the menu on his salad. "I can't have my mother complaining about me not getting my greens." He commented as they sat back down with their food.

Mylo smiled, not sure what else to ask him or if he should... When Ricky sat down Mylo's focus went to his pile of food, was that suppose to be a salad? He laughed. "Ricky, if your mom calls..."

[What gender do you think I am? At least tell me if you're avoiding the subject, so I don't keep asking like an ass.]

Frey looked at the kid next to him. "Was that airhead talking to me." He snickered.

Shin nodded to Brutis. "Oh yeah, that real quiet kid who was unpacking his stuff and all. His girlfriend came and got him."

"That's right that kid is in your cabin. So that makes all of you?" Lylia had already forgotten if Frey and Shin were in the same cabin. "Frey, Shin, You, and that kid over there with his sister." She's also forgotten Brutis' name.

Shin shook his head. "No, Frey isn't in my cabin." He had to think. "That one kid was all sick on his bed. Is that the one you're looking for?"

Terrence had begun to feel terrible, in sharp pains. He'd taken a good portion of Advil and decided if he were going to do that he would need to eat something. So against his will to save his snacks he'd had a few... Pretty much cleaned out actually. He'd gone to the bathroom again and carefully arranged everything back into his duffel bag. Then hid it off to the side.

He thought maybe he was walk around outside, just to stretch.

(Man, maybe I should bring Atticus into the Rp... Atticus is the "leader" of Mel's band with lead vocals and lead guitar. He's a HUGE fanatic about his music. Only thing is, he's defintely outspoken. XD Do you think that'd be a good idea?

Ah, a Gary Stu is the male version of a Mary Sue; the perfect character or a character modeled after the role player. Mel defintely isn't perfect, but I modeled him slightly after me for realism.

XD And I wanted to see how much you'd pester about the question 'n at without me responding what-so-ever. You're a girl.)

"Pfft, yer mom ain't here," Randy commented as he also took a seat. The teenager noted Melbourne and smirked down at him. "Aw, what? Gonna be anti-social here too, Patterson? Git yer ass down here, sit next t'me." He patted the seat beside him.

Melbourne frowned at this as he sighed softly. He picked up his tray as he stood up and walked over. He sat one seat over from Randy, not wanting to sit too close to him. He still didn't like Randy and felt that Randy's feelings for Sadie were fake.

Brutis blinked, "the kid had a girlfriend?" He paused then snapped his fingers. "OH, no. That kid is mentally retarded. I'm talking about the other creepy one. Yeah, that's it. The sick kid." Brutis had talked while Lylia and Shin had spoken, but he managed to pick up on the talk of the sick kid. "I was seeing if that creep ever got out of his bed."

[Do you like the band Atticus? Personally I'm perfectly fine with who we have.

I assumed you were either missing it or avoiding it for some reason. I don't understand the rationality or fun of this game, but whatever. Female, yes? Now why do you come to that conclusion? Can you answer that one?]

"She calls me, how terrible is that and she worries the instant I get home." Ricky laughed. Mylo had gone quieted as he stuffed his face. He watched Mel get up and go over to Randy. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Ricky. Ricky just shrugged and began to eat.

"So you guys are friends?" Mylo wondered point his fork and Randy then Mel.

Frey was eating at the table and Lylia zoned out of the conversation so she could pick from Frey's plate.

Shin shrugged. "Creep hu? Isn't that a little harsh. I think he's just sick or something, but... whatever." Shin sighed, it was finally their turn. "Retarded seems a little harsh too. I didn't he was really retarded was he?" Shin wondered as he stood.

(Actually it's not a band, it's a CD that comes out with various artists. I've never listened to it but thought it'd be a neat name for a band. XD Which is how my novel started out.

The reason why I kept avoiding it was two things; one, to see if you'd give up and two, so you wouldn't ask me why I think so. It's fine to be curious, but curiousity killed the cat, nyao? It's a shounen-ai forum for a shounen-ai comic. Boys normally do not tred here and if they do, usually they make sure to make SOME kind of comment to let us females know that there's a gay guy here.)

Randy snerked at Ricky's comment and was gonna reply with one of his own about bothersome mothers when Mylo spoke up. The teen looked over at him and laughed.

"Well, wouldn't really call it that. More like he's the annoying brother I gotta get through t'get to my girl," he grinned over to Mel who simply frumped at his plate. Yeah, defintely not winning points here.

Brutis shook his head as he stood up and began to walk over to the food line. "You didn't talk to him, huh? I really think he is retarded. Wait 'til you see him, then you'll know. And the other guy's just creepy. So it looks like you an' me are the only normal two, huh?"

Valmir had gone up to get food along with Asavare and their table. He ate it silently while Asavare talked endlessly on with the other girls. Already she was loving this camp.

[I did not know that. But there is/was also a band called Atticus. Band Myspace I believe they formed in 1995. I guess they were fairly popular, since I heard of them, but I listen to a lot of 'modern/alt' rock. Anyway I'm not really into their music, I just recalled their name.

I assumed that was your reasoning. I just wanted to confirm it. I would have asked until you either told me you didn't want to answer or until you answered. If you said you didn't want to I would assume it's, for some reason, an awkward subject. I don't see the reasoning behind the two reasons you gave me.
"one, to see if you'd give up" I'm guessing this is because you wanted me to give up or felt it was awkward. Or you thought it was amusing?

"and two, so you wouldn't ask me why I think so" I have no idea why this is ... problematic. I know it is. I just don't know why... I assumed your reasoning would be because of the shonen-ai. Even homosexual males aren't usually attracted to the feminine and unrealistic quality of shonen-ai and yaoi.

I realize there are a lot of social understandings I don't have. Perhaps it's just an understanding that females are more attracted to Shonen-ai (and I could write an article about why that is)...

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but good intentions brought him back~
I don't care if curiosity kills me. I would rather die from curiosity than boredom. I'd rather die with questions than die with false answers.]

Mylo shifted uncomfortably at Randy's remark, but he continued to eat. Allowing the more social, Ricky, to 'handle' the situation. "That's not a good way to be." He noted. "And even if you feel that way you should have some decency to not say it." He sighed, he wasn't trying to get Randy angry or anything, he was stating as-a-matter-of-factually. "So what's with this girl that you want to be with her so much you'll say rude things like that right in front of her... uh brother?"

[Ricky's got a therapist notion going here. He doesn't like to believe the world it black and white and some people are just "bad".]

Shin didn't know what to think of this guy. He really wasn't open minded. Shin shrugged it off. "Geez man, even Frey's more open minded than you. Don't sound like such a block-head." He laughed to lighten the mood of the "insult" he'd just thrown at Brutis. "I don't know about that one quiet kid. That other kid looked totally sick though. I don't see how, if you see this kid all curled up on his bed, you can come to the conclusion he's a creep." He laughed again. "No way man, don't group me with you. I'm not narrow-minded." He laughed again.

Lylia frowned, she'd joined the line for food after being swatted away from Frey's food. "Frey's worn off on you a little, Shin."

[Apparently just because Shin tries to save his own ass, doesn't mean he won't insult someone with a smile on his face. What a manipulative kid. Who was it that said they began to write about their characters and then the characters went off in whatever direction they wanted (I believe it was a mangaka). I try to control my character, but I was end up thinking they're just doing what they want. -__-;]
