... -groan-

Hi guys. I'm really, so freaking sorry. I haven't been online properly in a very long time and it's not on. It's completely out of line and unfair, and I feel terrible. At the moment my personal life is really busy, trying to hang out with my old high school friends while trying to sort out university and my sixth form college related issues has been taking up some of my time and has made me very demotivated. I'm also dealing with a few personal issues that I am very worried about right now. 

But that's not good enough. The other mods, I am sure, are dealing with their own issues and busy personal lives and can still keep this group up. Seriously, I owe them so much for staying motivated and enthusiastic in keeping the group on its feet. Again, it's upsetting to hear about the bad treatment they are facing. Please, guys :( I know it's not all of you, and most of you are such lovely members, but I think the mods deserve a little more respect.

Anyway, as far as it goes for me, I really need to get some things worked out. I didn't do very well in my exam results so I am currently trying to figure out what my next step is and what direction I will go. I don't think I can keep Mai and Yue up for very much longer so will most likely have to pull them from the group. I don't want to leave my position as a mod, I have worked with this group far too long to stop and I have had a very long hiatus also, so hopefully when a few things are cleared up irl I will be able to dedicate a fair amount of time to mod work. 

I am awfully sorry and I love you all. I've been a really terrible mod lately and it's unacceptable. xoxo

So since it's ooc day, and I've seen a few people doing it already, how about we post our mun pictures? c; This is the most recent picture of me so... hi~

[m4i-blog]

Since it's ooc day, big post here c: Sorry but... I have a few things I need to get off my chest.

First of all, I haven't been around very much at all. I've been working at a nursery and doing childminding. I've finished my job, but I will still be doing some babysitting now and then. However it means that I've got much more free time on my hands. I still have things I need to be doing but yes, things are now much more easier. There's still the problem that I lost my muse :c Not only my muse for Mai & Yue, but also my motivation for handling the group.

Which comes to the next important thing I'd like to say. I want to thank Bolin, Zuko & Kida for all the work they have been doing while I've been away. It deeply saddens me to hear that we still receive some attitude and are faced with bad manners but that's what comes with running a group I suppose. So I'd like to give a round of applause to those three C: Seriously guys. I'm so sorry I've been so absent yet again, it's not fair but I can assure I'm not going to become anymore distant.

Back to my characters. I'm thinking I'm going to have to drop one of them... or even both. I'm not at all sure but, I can't even get my head around either of them which seriously sucks. If I tried to do anything now it would probably just end up in a chaotic, terrible mess of oocness. So... until I decide, these two will be on hiatus. Really not sure why I didn't put myself down on hiatus before but hey, I guess I'm kinda forgetful.

Anyway I hope everyone enjoys ooc day! I know I will in the short time that I'll be around. I'm supposed to be hanging out at this guy's place tonight but I'm really freaking tired and have been running around all day in town trying to pass my driving theory test (third time ffs) and getting my hair done so I just really want to cwtch up in my pjs and watch the telly or something ._. Lol what how did I start talking about this small personal issue jesUS I DON'T WANT TO GO OUT

OK love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

All Animals Hate Bolin

[amorousbender]

Eyes full of terror and fright filled Bolin’s eyes.  Shock and pain had paralyzed his legs and he could only watch and gasp at the horror.  Not only had he hit Mai with a volleyball and spilled purple slushie on her, now both he and Pabu had hurtled pain inducing crabs her way.  It seemed as if every animal was just out to get the poor teenager today and with the raven haired girl nearby, she was in the danger path.  Unfortunately, in being forced to carry her purple liquid covered artifacts, he could not just run away to save her.  It’s not like he would get very far on his feet anyway.  And what if she did call the cops on him… Thinking so hard on what may happen to him if Mai reported his accidents to her royal father, Bolin never noticed the female stepping towards him like a hurricane ready to demolish a city.  Obviously, the girl was mad and even though Bolin had been attempting to do everything right, the male was likely about to get scolded.  Of course, that had happened repeatedly when younger and around his brother, so it shouldn’t have come as a surprise now.  However, it just seemed like any luck he had been having was now deserting him faster than Pabu could eat a watermelon.  Mai just happened to be in the center of that unlucky typhoon and had gotten pulled into the deadly winds.

“Are you seriously that clumsy?”

Mai’s words struck him causing the pain and terror in his feet to disperse.  He had heard her tone earlier and while annoyed at the whole situation, she was never actually mad.  Now, whatever calmness the female usually had was gone with that piercing question.  Still, it was an obvious question.  Today had been one of his most accidental days in a long time, but every time he tried to do something right, it got worse.  The poor beach goer would have been better off had he just said sorry for the beach ball and left.  Instead, the teen had gathered a slushie and was attacked by seagulls leading them to where they were now.  It felt so unreal just due to the fact he normally had such great balance. “I…uh…” Bolin started as he tried to think up something to say.  In a situation like this, there wasn’t much to say.  He was being an idiot and had ruined some girl’s day.  Her next statement only reinforced earlier thoughts as she came forward to take her stuff.  It would probably be better for that, but he couldn’t help but look away out of shame while holding the items out for her to take back.  Not only had he hurt this girl, but he couldn’t even do anything to return her home safely.  She would probably be better off without him around anyway.  Considering his day in the past half hour or so, she would likely be safer on her own.

“Here you…go…?” For a second, the acceptance of defeat was going full throttle through his mind.  Then, right at the end, the stocky male noticed his furry companion wasn’t anywhere nearby.  With hands still out stretched not caring now if Mai had her stuff back, Bolin began to look around.  His eyes darted everywhere to random beach baskets to small drink stands looking for Pabu.  Somehow, the small animal had managed to sneak off in order to avoid the scolding and try to find something more interesting.  Still, with his recent bouts of luck, that could just mean something absolutely horrible would happen to his dearest friend. As expected, his friend had met with trouble.  Pabu had decided to try and scare off some stray cats from a food merchant not too far away in hopes of stealing the food for themselves.  The scavengers decided they were having none of that.  Instead of simply taking the food and leaving, the battle hardened animals decided to snack on the fire ferret instead.  Now understanding the impending danger and seeing claws pop out, Pabu decided it best to scramble away.  In doing so, the owner was quickly knocked away as multiple pots holding food were knocked around creating a clamor that was only soft metallic thumping a few yards away. Bolin watched past Mai in confusion as he saw the scenario play out.  Without even thinking of it, he had started to ignore the female he had so badly injured.  Still, he couldn’t be astounded as he saw his pet scramble towards the two of them.  Eyes widened in terror as he saw the three strays following with hungry and anger fueled eyes.  The small animal had just taken away their source of food and by the looks of it got one slightly covered in some hot meat broth.  The trio was looking for death and Pabu was heading towards his only source of safety: Bolin.  Sadly, that also meant Mai.

A high pitched scream erupted from Bolin as he saw death coming their way.  Seagulls were super annoying, slushies were just messy, and crabs pinched really hard, but cats…cats could just be mean.  By the look of it, those three were.  Not to mention, there was no telling what diseases they may have picked up by living off the beach and being outside their whole lives.  If the three deadly animals weren’t racing towards him at terrifying speeds, he would feel sorry for the poor animals.  Whoever had forced them to live by scavenging was a super mean person who should be punished.  For now though, they were little hell cats ready to eat him and his pet. Giving up all thought on manners and politeness, Bolin reached forward and grabbed Mai.  Taking hold, the teenager threw the girl over his shoulder and turned halfway around with a slight wince from his foot.  There, he ignored all pain and started to hobble away as fast as possible. To anyone else watching, they would be extremely confused until seeing the sand kicked up by the felines.  Luckily, Pabu was quicker than the trio and managed to make it onto his owner’s leg and crawl up.  The small claws his dear friend had only added to the pain, but Bolin knew it would be worse if he slowed down.  Still, he had to make sure to keep moving if he wanted to get away. Hearing the squeaks from his friend about the three getting closer, the chestnut haired male started to think up something to do.  While he didn’t want to use his bending abilities for the entire beach to see, he could at least make their progress a little harder.  Concentrating while running on two injured legs proved painful, but was still able to be done.  Sand particles floated upwards in various places making it hard to notice by human eye, but enough to get in the eyes of their pursuers.  Unsure if that would work completely, Bolin started to cut diagonally towards buildings in case he had to go in there in order to escape the ferocious felines. Receiving a small grace of luck for the day, the teen found his tactic to be effective.  Shortly after causing the sand to float, Pabu started chattering about how the tortured creatures were slowing down until coming to a full stop to rub at their eyes.  Not only that, but it seemed the one who had gotten splashed with the meat broth found his fur now tasted fairly good.  The new found taste quickly caused the other two to take notice and making mewing noise about wanting some also.  Shortly thereafter, the trio decided the flavor was so nice, they wanted that instead of getting sand in their eye and turned around for a quick job back to the food stand. With a sigh of relief, Bolin turned around and watched the cats run away in search of less annoying food.  “Thanks Pabu…” The male announced in a slightly sarcastic tone to his friend before realizing the weight on his other shoulder.  Acting quickly, Bolin returned Mai to the ground and stepped back before looking away and scratching his head.  Well, that was just one more incident to add to the day of craziness.  Now, they had run away in the opposite direction and she was surely in discomfort after being bounced on his shoulder while he ran with his wobble.  “Um…sorry…again,” the boy offered looking up from a tilted down head.

[m4i-blog]

As far as Mai was concerned, she had finished with this guy. Grasping the skirt and towel in her hands and balancing them on her hip, she turned on her heel and began in the direction of her hotel. Yes, she was beginning to really hurt but she was a big girl, she wasn't about to curl up on the ground and start crying. However, she'd probably have to put some cream on the wounds as soon as she got to her room. If she got infected because of this goof then it would literally just finalise everything that had happened to her. Seriously, that would be the actual cherry on the cake. Little did she know things were about to get a whole lot worse.

Calm as Mai could be, she was borderline fuming now. Though it was slowly being released the further away she got from the stocky guy. The thing is, she wasn't aware of what was going on behind her. It was only until she heard a loud crash of pots and pans did she stop to look over her shoulder at the scene that was in the middle of unfolding. Okay, this was just getting ridiculous. How many times had animals caused problems for her today? Perfect, just perfect. It was the red fluffy creature that was causing this issue, once again, and the brawl only seeming to escalate as pots continued to be thrown all over the beach. She had long ago decided not to be involved with this kid and his pet, but now it seemed unavoidable.

The over-sized hamster was scurrying, along with three scruffy cats, directly over to Mai and Bolin. At this rate, she may as well have turned up at the beach wearing a dress made of meat. The only thing she could think of was to run. But before she could even lift a foot, two strong arms were suddenly on her body, pulling her up onto a shoulder. Surprise, surprise. It was Bolin. Was she ever going to get rid of this person? Although she was now shooting down the beach at speed, the cats and the ferret were still on their tail. And now she was even more agitated because someone she barely knew had flung her on to his shoulder, and they were still being chased.

"Seriously? You couldn't have just let me go?!"

Gritting her teeth, Mai could only grip onto the man as they continued on their flee down the long strip of sand. She was tempted to kick and punch so she could wriggle out of his grasp, but that would not be the smartest choice seeing as they were travelling quite fast and she'd rather not roll into the sea. It was still uncomfortable, especially for someone who liked their personal space, to be hauled up onto a large frame and to suddenly dash off. Another problem was the surface Bolin was running on. Sand wasn't always thick and firm. Several times she was convinced some of the sand had got in her mouth, and was dealing with a similar issue with her eyes.

Watching with a thundery expression, Mai found that Pabu was now on-board the new form of transport that was Bolin. She glanced up a few times, but it was so bumpy that it was hard to focus on what exactly was happening with the cats. She could tell, however, that they had slowed. Perhaps even stopped, as the fuzzy blurs of matted browns and greys had vanished from her sight. Soon the man had slowed down and Mai, incredibly wound up over the entire fiasco, began her kicking fury. She managed to swipe him a few times, but only escaped his grasp when he put her back down on the sand.

Oh, boy. He was really in for it. Where could Mai start on this one? She looked from the ferret then up to the man, a fierce glare taking over her expression. Her fists clenched and she found it a struggle to control the anger that was ready to spill out. Mai, the girl who had mastered calmness and control, had reached the ultimate boiling point. She didn't even want to be here and look what had happened. Had she even been in a good mood to begin with, this whole situation would have still caused her such fury to build up. Why, and how, could someone be so complicated and annoying? This was possibly the first person to have ever angered her this way. Even being pushed into a fountain hadn't upset her like this had. It baffled her how she was still around this person.

If she was actually a Royal Princess, the whole kingdom would be after this kid by now. That thought was amusing, but not amusing enough to calm the storm that had brewed inside her.

"Have you finished with your circus act? I didn't realize I'd be the main star of the show." she said bitingly, referring to his offer from earlier. With an icy glare, she really just wanted nothing more than to get away from him. But that didn't seem to work before, it was like she was a magnet around Bolin and danger seemed to attract to her. The aching from the ball, paired with the injuries from the beach crabs and the bruises she'd undoubtly get from the bumpy escape, these were nothing to her at the moment. Rage, it seemed, was the most prominent thing right now. "Oh and just so you know, your body guarding skills are awful."

Mai was calming down a bit now. Yes, she still felt pretty irritated and upset about everything, but she was really getting desperate to get out of this kids grips. Literally. If only the sand he was standing on would turn to quicksand and swallow him and his ferret whole. Almost doing a facepalm, Mai turned on her heel and began storming off in the direction of the hotel. Not even a couple of steps later and she paused, turning to look over her shoulder and forwarded a striking glare the other's way.

"One last thing. Stay away from me," she instructed firmly, now reaching the point of hoping that Bolin wouldn't follow and would keep away from her forever. Little did she know that this guy went to her school. That would definitely be a reunion she would detest, but of course this wasn't something she was aware of at this moment. Before continuing on her journey back to her room, she issued one more glare to the guy. "Or I'll seriously consider getting a restraining order." She finished it off nicely, her voice held calm, clear and unshaken by the events of the day.

Despite how incredibly pissed off she was feeling.

An Unwanted Vacation

[goldensunrising-blog]

“How about meeting at seven near the pier?”

Seven at the pier it was, then.

Why was he so damn nervous? Because to put it in simple, blunt terms, that was what Zuko was - nervous. He could not remember a time when nervousness was not an alien concept ever since starting out his new life here in Bunkyo; he was nervous upon starting his first day of school, he was nervous when he had to stand up in front of the class and give his first speech, he was nervous about being stuck with host duties and having to actually greet and smile at customers coming into the tea shop. Zuko was raised by his father to be stern and brutal, to think lesser of others, but time and uncle Iroh’s wisdom taught him to be more humble. Now as a young man, he was more uncertain of himself than he’d ever been, or pretty close to it anyway. This intense of a response was elicited from him due to his…agreeing to spend time with a childhood friend? Was that even normal?

Zuko finished sorting through his duffel bag, defeated, throwing himself face down with a loud groan on top of his bed. He landed with a faint thud and a bounce. Zuko buried his face into his pillow which he clenched tightly between his hands, and unleashed a muffled noise of frustration shortly into. “Ugh! I never thought I’d have a problem like this! I mean…I didn’t expect to be in such a situation in the first place,” he grumbled, tone dropping to a dejected murmur.

His face turned so that his cheek met the surface of the crisp, cool pillow. A sigh slipped past his lips as he took in the time. There was still a good three hours left before he needed to be ready to leave and meet up with Mai. Maybe some rest would do him some good, and help clear his head up. Being this stressed out and anxious about a simple meet-up for the night just could not be normal…

Surprisingly, it was not all that hard to let himself drift off. Zuko wasn’t usually one for late afternoon naps - that was more of his uncle’s thing - but the bed was so comfortably soft and inviting, and after more minutes quietly ticked by, it just happened. His sleep was restful but perhaps too much so he discovered upon waking up.

A small grunt sounded from the back of Zuko’s throat as lifted his head, ruffling a hand through his hair. When the hell did he fall asleep? It seemed like it was just minutes ago he was screaming into a pillow and lamenting his social ineptitude - for no one but himself to hear, thankfully. He weakly pulled himself up into a sitting position, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. There were readily apparent concessions of luxury in his hotel room he surmised: Horizontal flower scrolls, a crystalline, glass table with golden legs, and an ornate, circular clock within a wooden, square case that’s time read 7:01 pm…One minute after 7:00 pm. That meant something, didn’t it? Zuko rose to his feet, hands clenched down by his sides as he tried to frantically recall what was so important about that particular time. It wasn’t like he had somewhere to be, right?

Wrong.

His exhaustion faded within another unbelieving blink of an eye. Shit, shit, shit, he thought in a panic, hurrying to his feet. Zuko swore aloud, kicking at a pile of dirty clothes on the ground as he grabbed up a pair of dark, navy pants, and a random short-sleeved black shirt. A hand was smacked loudly against his forehead as he checked the time again, the only sound to break the thickening silence in the room he spent the last few hours snoozing away in. He remembered how he was far away from home, alone, and now was about to spend a whole night just with Mai. That is, if she still would be up for it and didn’t ditch him for someone else. Just the thought sent him lurching towards the door with his wallet and key card in tow.

The moon hung full in the sky, creamy and lustrous against the black night. Zuko was bounding towards the steps of the pier. The beach was considerably less empty than earlier during the daytime. A few stragglers lingered here or there in the sand, admiring the ocean beneath the falling starlight, but for the most part the majority of people were heavily concentrated on the pier like he expected. He could hear music, convivial shouts and laughter erupting through the air the closer he got. Yeah, it was obviously crowded and full of countless people; and as Zuko reached a halt, hurriedly fixing his hair, he veered his eyes to and fro searching for the only and only person he gave a damn about here, Mai. All the while he could only hope she’d still be there.

[m4i-blog]

Pat pat pat, Wince.

An hour until she was to go out again and Mai wasn't having a good time. After the struggles she had faced earlier on in the day, 'pained' and 'tired' were understatements when it came to describing how she felt. Sitting at the vanity set, the ebony haired girl had finally found the time to herself, but also time to get ready for the evening. She had been so caught up in being bitten by bloodthirsty crabs and battered by beach balls that she'd never really been able to give her plans with Zuko much of a thought. With one muslin cloth, she worked on removing her running makeup. Prior to this she had taken a shower, completely disregarding the mascara she had been wearing beforehand, and was a little more than annoyed to be met with a panda eyed reflection.

As soon as she had cleared it all off Mai began work on her hair. It was mostly dry but a bit of blow drying wouldn't do any harm. She ran a brush through the long, dark locks as she dried it, smoothing it all out equally. Finally she was satisfied and switched off the hairdryer, continuing to brush through her hair for a few more minutes before getting her slides ready. However, as she went to put up the first small bun she paused. It was undeniably hot for an evening, so maybe if she opted for something more loose she'd feel more comfortable? Taking this into consideration, she refrained from doing the usual ox horn buns and pulled back half of her dark hair into her usual bun at the back, pinning it perfectly.

From then on she didn't give her hair anymore thought and began to apply her makeup. Mai usually went for a natural look, only really using mascara. Lipstick always seemed to wash our her complexion, making her look ill with her already light skin. Blusher was always too strong, and bronzer was just out of the question. So usually she'd concentrate on her eyes. Carefully brushing the mascara wand to thicken her lashes, she came to the decision that it would do. She didn't really understand it when girls dressed up and caked their faces with makeup when going out somewhere, it just seemed like too much of a bother.

Finally, she came to her choices for wear. It was already quarter to seven and she had already accepted that she was going to be a little late. After an achey walk to her closet, Mai browsed through the different pieces of clothing she'd brought. It didn't take her long to pick out an emerald green chiffon dipped hem skirt, pairing it with a dark brown strappy tank and sandals. She wore a silver bangle on her wrist, keeping that as the only jewelry she planned on wearing. They were just hanging out, so why would she need to dress up all fancy? Again, that would be a bother.

The outfit was able to hide most of the bruise on her side, but the cuts and bruises from the beach crab's pincers were slightly visible through the thin fabric of the skirt. Yet Mai had forgotten about this, ignoring the pain and replacing her feeling of complete irritation over the fool from earlier with the feeling of anticipation for her evening. Just in case it did somehow get colder, Mai quickly pushed a beige cardigan into her slouchy maroon purse along with her phone, key-card and money. Taking one brief look in the mirror, she shrugged to herself out of satisfaction.

Whatever. She didn't believe in bad days and she doubted she could get anything else thrown at her. Unless that clumsy kid was around with his ferret thing.

Mai left her room at seven. The pier wasn't a long walk, however, she knew that it still would take a few minutes before she'd arrive there. A few minutes late wasn't a big deal and besides, she could always blame it on the fact some idiot had attacked her along with his army of animals. The walk, as she had expected, had been very brief and she was already nearing the pier just a few moments later. It looked... well, not exactly breathtaking. But it was busy, the fairy lights projecting sickly colours into the dark sky, and it really just looked like any other fete. Still, although fairs were not something Mai was keen on, she was aware that she could probably enjoy herself with Zuko there.

Soon enough, her eyes landed on a familiar mass of dark hair, standing a fair bit away from the official entrance. He was easy to spot, highlighted by the moonlight and bright atmosphere of the carnival, and she wandered over to him at a slow pace. There was no rush, especially as the crowds seemed to expand, meaning less places to move to. Something Zuko was capable of was getting Mai to smile, an ability that barely anyone had, so as she approached him she couldn't refuse the small, warm smile that was starting to crawl across her lips. Zuko, she thought, was like no one else. Somehow he was making this beach trip much less worse, even if she was suffering several injuries.

"Hey," she greeted in her gravelly voice, the small smile remaining on her features. With every step she closed the space between the two, though keeping an acceptable distance from him. It was kind of hard to talk over the loud chattering and music of the fete, but she was sure he'd noticed her by now. After pushing her hand over one side of her skirt, flattening out a crease, she focused her gaze on the other and returned to being expressionless. "Pretty busy, huh."
