You know, there are some REALLY weird people here. *cough* (What? Me? Calling OTHER people weird? Ha.) It's pretty fun though. For the first time I feel at peace with myself. I've been having fun. The hospital gave me and Gwendolyn some spare clothes. They're nice and comfortable during the snow, but they're gonna be hot when it melts and gets ( Read more... )

Y-yeah. You'll understand once I explain, though.

I see. Oswald get in trouble a lot? Sounds kind of aggravating. He's really really lucky to have you.

Well, it is pretty serious. Like all abilities, you have to work hard. Magicians like me put their soul into their magic. There are other magicians, of course, who are good but don't put so much into it, but me and my father are some of the best. (Well, my father was anyway. Biased or no, that man was the best in all the world. *stubborn*) However, it's all fun. It's a way of letting go of your troubles for the moment to bring joy to someone else. If only for a little while. *smiles fondly* Personal matters have no place in magic. All that a magician cares about on the stage is doing their best. That way you know that, even if you messed up, you tried hard and the audience still loved the show.

Also, if you don't relax, your muscles end up cramping or something equally weird. I hurt so bad when my father let my up on the stage my first few shows. I was so terrified. Everyone was staring at me and I couldn't think. ^^; I was so sore the next day I couldn't go to school. haha

(OOC: I beat his book. XD I just have Velvet and whatever is left. Onyx was HARD...but I'm proud I finally found a use for Invisible...))

I promise to understand.

I must say it was I who got him in trouble honestly. He did everything for me...

I see now. You have to be serious about your kind of magic, and if you are, it becomes fun. Sounds hard to do, but I will try my best once you start teaching me! I promise to! I probably will not be as good as any magician from your world, but I would like to do the best I can.

((ooc: Haha, Onyx was a pain in the ass. But it's nice when you face him in the final book, because you now know what to expect!~♥ I used painkillers and unlimited power against Onyx XD

Have fun with Velvet~))

Well, as least trouble isn't permanent. *nodnod* I know that one all too well. xD

I'll start you out easy, I promise. Like I said earlier, costuming first I think. Who knows, maybe it'll come in handy in your world when you go back. *shrugs and smiles* I have faith that you'll be real good at it though. You have a determination that people don't just find off the street.

((OOC: He was. I had a fireproof charm and six full bars of phozon. Everytime he'd do his badass flame charge...thing...or the one where he shoots out his arms, I would go invisible. Then beat him up when he was belching out comets. XDDDDD It took me a LONG time though. (don't get me started on Skuldi and his winter mountain ghosties. T^T) Who do you fight him with? Cause isn't there two more books after Velvet? There are two extra stars on the save file...*confused*))

No it is not.

You are too kind to believe in me based on what little you know about me. Costume, I do I need to wear something nicer, like to a party, or masquerade?

((ooc: You are going to hate facing Beldor and Belial in Titania with Velvet then *shudders* That was so much harder than Oswald's battle with Skuldi. But Velvet's final boss for her book totally makes up for everything and how hard the battle with the wizard and dragon was. There technically are two books after Velvet's. The last book is all cutscenes, but that will not get you the final star. You have to complete the game, as in get both endings, get all the recipes, alchemy mixes and crap to get the seventh star))

Don't worry about it. ^___^ You've been very nice so far. I think I have an okay enough instinct about people.

And costume...ah, I guess becoming a different person. I gave an example earlier about costuming to hide yourself and make it look like you disappear. It's kind of like that.

It comes in handy in some everyday situations too. We'll talk about that later though. Are you good at doing make-up?

((OOC: *cry* Well, I'll do my best. *nodnod* How do you get both endings? oO And I'm missing like, twelve recipes in each store. I only have two things in the prophecy list, although my alchemy list is full...))

Instincts are probably what help any living thing survive.

Oh, is there such a costume that gives the illusion that one has disappeared? Very interesting!

Yes, I am decent at putting on my own make-up, I think.

((ooc: It's easy to get the false ending....but the true ending you have to play the characters in a specific order. Yep. Don't worry, you'll get all of the prophecies by the end of Velvet's story. You will also get the interpretation of the prophecies at the VERY end of Velvet's story which you NEED to read in order to know what order you will play the characters in in 'Armageddon' or else...and you don't want the false ending...it's very discouraging. I also don't have all the recipes, I read how to get the 7th star online.))

Well, good. Once you have make-up down, the rest is just a matter of putting on clothes, padding in certain places if needed, possible amounts of prosthetic...*starts to ramble as his mind falls into familiar plot lines*

((oO What happens in the false ending? And don't I need to get it to get the star as well as the other ending? *forgot* Hmmm, maybe the recipe's come by regoing through previous books?))

It sounds like it takes a lot of work just to make one look like a magician. It sounds fun!

((ooc: In the false ending...everyone dies....but it's not the ending that's really discouraging, it's the boss scenes. *thinks of an example that won't give away too much* Um...like yeah, if you have Oswald face Onyx again...so sad! He tries to use his shadow powers and turns into one of those Revenants...yeah...;.;))

*immediately quiets down* Eh, I see I'm making this quite confusing. Like I said, it takes years of practice to really get it all. Heck, even I don't have it all. Can't know everything. *embarrased that he'd ranted off on a difficult tangent*

((OOC: Oh.....ho dang... I wanna see it now. >.>))

Re: Being adult sucks... elegante August 10 2007, 15:00:48 UTC
Oh...but the costume and make-up are apart of what makes the show, am I correct?

((OOC: Youtube.com my friend, that's where I found the alternate boss scenes, because I'm not to fond of false endings...>.>;;;))

Re: Being adult sucks... tophatxmonocle August 10 2007, 15:02:53 UTC
That's true, but I think I was going on a completely different costuming tactic. ^__^;; There are actually several types and my dad was an expert at disguise. Needlessly to say, he taught me that as well.

((OOC: Got any linkies handy? The net hates me.))

Re: Being adult sucks... elegante August 10 2007, 15:07:56 UTC
So there are many strategies with how to use a costume? Interesting. I never thought costumes could be so useful for anything other than a disguise.

((ooc: There are 3 alternate boss scenes in this vid, with maybe some minor spoilers, but hopefully not too bad....))

*mischievious sparkles in eyes* Gwendolyn, with costume techniques, if done right, you can be whoever you want to be. Disguise? Sure, why not? However, take it a step further and it becomes art. *fond* Just like magic.

((OOC: Cool. Will jump on them. XD))

Whoever I want to be? With just a costume? Huh?

Of course. It helps if you have the voice range too, but I haven't met that many people who could speak with as many voices as I can. Seems to be a rare talent.

You have other voices? That is quite interesting!
