Sleep. Blissful sleep. It was a dream Jake had had many times before. It always began with him sitting on his roof, in the middle of the night. Watching out for zombies, no less. But Jake's psyche seemed to like to throw him curveballs, as proven by the werewolf that began scaling his house at a slightly alarming rate. Alas. He had left his silver bullets inside, only having a regular .30-06 caliber rifle in his hands, Jake was fully aware that dinner was served, and that the metaphorical fork was well and truely stuck in him. But in another twist of mental drama, the werewolf sat next to him, nodding sagely, and saying the words "Gotta watch out for them zombies." Jake could only nod back, dumbfounded by the werewolf's passion for defense against the undead. Now, after this, the zombies eventually would attack, but today, his dream was cut short. Jake's eyes flashed open as three things popped in to his head. 1. Ow. That hurt. 2. Bright light! Bright light! 3. Mm, toast. The third thought was generated by the strong smell of breakfast, specifically, the smell of toast. Looking out from his bed, he was greeted by the biggest grin he had ever seen. "...Sam?" Jake asked, slightly confused. "You're awake?" Jake raised an eyebrow. "No sh-. Did you throw that?" Jake cut himself off mid sentence. Sam looked over at the plastic ball sheepishly, then straightened his expression. "No." Jake frowned. "Do you know how long 3 seconds is? It's the length of time you have to leave my room before my foot goes where the sun don't shine." Sam disappeared like a shot, leaving Jake to get up and slip quickly in to his standard clothing. Jake's footsteps went unheard amongst the havoc in the kitchen. He stood at the doorway, watching his younger brother and sister creating a large mess of the kitchen table with the family pokémon, a rather lively Aipom, named Eddy. "Mum's going to kill you guys. You know that, right?" Sam and Caitlin began to hurriedly tidy up the kitchen table, allowing Jake to sit down and grab the remains of breakfast. "You know what day it is?" Sam said. "Yeah." Sam grinned. "It's the day mum kicks you out so you can stop being a layabout and go look after yourself." Jake smirked. "No. It's the day I'm finally free of you, you little twerp. Now I've finally saved up enough money, I can go where annoying little brothers can't. Still. My first pokémon today. Should be an awesome day. Especially since you can't get one." Sam saddened. "Mum says I have to wait 'til I'm older like you. But I'll be younger than you when I get mine! And I'll get stronger faster, and have more pokémon." Jake shrugged. "Maybe you will. But you'll still be a little twerp." Jake ducked, predicting the crust of toast that whizzed above his head. Jake stood up and looked around the house slightly dazed. Think I'll miss this place... Jake thought to himself, before lunging up the stairs, three at a time. Pushing open his bedroom door, he slipped on his shoes, backpack and waist pouch, and then picked up his guitar case/amplifier combo. As heavy it was, Jake had spent enough time lugging it around that it was no longer a burden to him. Jake waved goodbye to his room, and thudded down the stairs loudly. "Jake, are you up?!" Jake's mum yelled from one of the rooms. "Yeah. I'm leaving." Jake's mum hurried to the front door to meet him. "Take care! Come back to visit some time soon!" Jake nodded, accepting the mandatory kiss to the cheek. Jake stepped out of the door, before turning to his mother and remembering to ask for the money he'd been saving up for just this occasion. |

(I think that normal mods can do this...I'm not sure though. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.) As you head out the door, a patter of steps behind you as you're confirming that all 2500 is there makes you pause and turn. Eddie bounds up, using his tail to toss you an Escape Rope with three charges and a Poketech. Can't start without them, can you? And with that, and a cheerful, "Pom!" the pokemon sacmpers back into the house, no doubt to see what other michief he could get into with your younger siblings. Or something. (And just one teeny bit of advice. It's usually good to make a new paragraph each time a new person speaks, so that there isn't the confusion of 'so, who's speaking now?' I had to reread a few times to make sure I knew who was saying what in this post. Other than that, it was pretty good. Another option is to make each person's speech a different color...some people use that. The former is the proper grammer, though. *shrugs* Welcome to Legacy, and hope you enjoy your stay! :)) (Edit-note: Also, if you want to ignore my advaice, that's all it is, really. Advice. Don't have to take it. *nodnods* Just trying to be helpful and stuff.) |

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present. ~Oogway

(OOC: Don't worry about giving out advice, I won't bite. =P But yeah, I'll try and make it a little more clear. Just years of habit.) |

ain't no new thing

Just posting to tell Eevee that she can mod anything but freeforms. And yay, new person. Didn't see a Welcome post, so, welcome! Be sure to come into chat and make things, new people are so hard to come by these days. Also, is the thread title a Beatles allusion? |

((Aha, so if someone wants to start with a non-standard starter, I can't grade them or whatnot, but otherwise I can do these....good to know. Hadn't been sure where these fell in classification. Thanks! So, yeah. Feel free to move on to the lab whenever and stuffs, then. Hope you enjoy the site!)) |

Yeah, I tend to avoid welcome posts. I prefer to just immerse my self in to the community. Although, if you like to be technical, I'm actually an old member, from about 3 years ago. Nonetheless, thank you. =3 And yes, it is. I like to make my thread titles mildly interesting. And usually musically based. |
