~At Sea~
A pirate ship is already setting sail across the sea. Among the ship was a bunch of pirates. Majority are men, some are women. Coming back from a recent visit from Glennfall City, where they heard information about a specific rare treasure...
"Uhh Etsuko miss, how are we suppose to find that Rangorok crystal thing if we don't even know where it is?" - Pirate 1
" We'll search all over the world! It's not like we have never done that before! We have been sailing from city to city and island to island anyways. And it's called the "Ragnarok Tear". There's no harm to do some search on the crystal. It must be very rare! We have to get our hands on it!" - Etsuko
"But Captain, it is only rumors. What if it doesn't exist? We would be spending our time searching for it for nothing in the end. And we don't know what that Rag-nor-rok tear even does to begin with..." - Pirate 2
"We'll never know until we try! If it is really as sacred as people say it is, it just means that it highly profitable!It might have to do something magical... Like make us invisible, give us the power to fly, or even grant wishes!"
"Grant wishes?!" - Pirates 1 and 2
"Exactly. We will not know what it does until we make an attempt to scout it out! Someone there is bound to have more information on the Ragnarok Tear. That's why we have to find that kids father Eiichi! CONTINUE OUR SAILS FOR ZANARK CITY!" - Etsuko
"AY AY KAPP'N!" - Pirates 1 and 2
The pirates sprint out to command the ship and spread the news to the other pirates. Etsuko turns around and looks onto the sea.
"Why did you do that?"
Etsuko jumps and turns around. Standing there was Daisuke, his hands in his back pockets.
"Do what? What do you mean?" - Etsuko
"You got the pirates hopes up. I already told you, I have no idea what that Ragnarok Tear does. All I said is that it has some magical power, but not to grant wishes. It's just something my dad told me for a bed-time story. It seems too unrealistic, you guys may have be embarking on this ship for nothing. They are going to find out sooner or later that you were lying." - Daisuke
"Trust me, they won't find out. They are reliable for battle and combat, but they don't think that far. And even if they do find out, I can just blame you for telling us your so called bed-time story. *smirk*" - Etsuko
Daisuke rolls his eyes and turns his head away.
"Wow, I knew I shouldn't have trusted an unknown pirate" - Daisuke
Etusko lets out a giggle and pats Daisuke on the head.
"Hahaha I was kidding. I thank you for the information you gave me back there. Don't forget about who is escorting you to Zanark City. This is my thanks to you. " - Etusko
"I guess I can't say anything there. Well I appreciate what you are doing for me, but I felt like it was unnecessary."- Daisuke
"Oh shut up. Stop being so hard on yourself! Just appreciate what I did and say thank you! By the way, why are you heading over there anyways? You didn't have to come with me to pick up your father. Is there another reason?*smile*" - Etusko
Daisuke starts to walk over at the edge of the boat, looking over the sea.
"Haha thanks, but I don't want to talk about it." - Daisuke
"Wow come on! I'm giving you a favor for giving your butt a life there! I only know you for a day and I gave you one of the biggest favors I have to offer!" - Etsuko
"Hey I already told you about the Ragnarok Tear with magical powers. To someone I just met too. We're even. I just have to do some business there. Anyways I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed, and thanks for the lift again." - Daisuke
Daisuke walks off waving. Etsuko turns back around and starts to gaze over the sea.
~Glenfall City~ *Inside a market shop*
"Uhh I don't know, my dad Eiichi just told me that they had magical powers. There were more details in the story but it was such a long time ago... - Daisuke
"WHAT?! THAT'S IT! COME ON KID! REMEMBER!" - Etusko
Etsuko grabs Daisuke and starts to shake him vigorously back and forth, trying to make him remember more details.
"OKAY STOP! I told you I don't know anymore details. I would ask my old man Eiichi but he's not in town at the moment. He will be back in a month or so from Zanark City." - Daisuke
"Ugh! I can't wait that long! I have to go to Zanark city and speak with your father! What does he look like?" - Etusko
Daisuke eyes lit up.
" Uhh, why don't I just come with you? It will be easier for you to find him. I have some business over there anyways. And I can come back with him too." - Daisuke
Etusko still gazing into the sea as the boat continues it's sail.
I really hope these tears has magical powers. Mother... Where are you?

.:Zanark City, Hanaikos Shop:.
As Hanaiko rose from his bed, he yawned and got dressed for the day ahead. He put on his usual clothes, slipped on his glasses and with another final yawn went down stairs to open up the shop.
Hanaiko turned the sign over so that it would say closed on the door. As he did he thought he saw someone lurking outside, looking suspicious. Hanaiko, being a good citizen, decided to tell them to push off.
Excuse me, but you- He was cut off suddenly as the figure darted away.
Angered as the person just darted off, he decided to follow them and try to ask them why they ran away from him. The person was fast, very fast, and Hanaiko had trouble keeping up with them but he still continued anyway, not knowing what this might bring upon him. At one point, the figure suddenly stopped and turned around with a glint of a smile in the moonlight. As the figure stopped, so did Hanaiko. As he looked up at the figure, still smiling, the figure drew an axe.
Damn, forgot my knives... Damn-it!
He thought, urgently trying to think on what to do, but before he could think carefully, the figure with the axe ran towards him and Hanaiko just decided to run.
After a while of running around, Hanaiko was starting to get tired though the figure looked like they were gaining energy by the minute. He thought about going back to the shop and getting his knives but the shop would probably get damaged while he was fighting. He had to make up his mind soon or he would be killed, or worse.
Suddenly a hand reached out, grabbed Hanaiko and yanked him out of the way. In the process the kind fellow stuck their foot out and the figure went straight over the foot and smacked down straight on the concrete. The person that had saved him used the time that the figure was on the floor, to introduce himself.
The names Kuro Atori, but just call me Kuro. Kuro stated and stuck his hand out for Hanaiko to shake.
Hanaiko shook the hand, shakily himself and replied with Th-thanks... that was close... sorry, my name is Hanaiko. He smiled trying to put his tired and very worried face away.
Kuro put his right hand into his jacket and pulled a couple of items that looked very familiar. As Hanaiko looked at them he knew what they were straight away, his knives!
Did you go inside my shop? Hanaiko shockingly asked.
The door was wide open, and anyway I saw you took off, chasing someone angrily with a couple of empty sheaves, Kuro explained. Take them already.
Hanaiko nodded, took the knives and got himself ready for battle.
Avi and Sig by me.

-Plains outside Magica Sari, early morning-
Fresh dew trickled down the long, flowing leaves of a grand tree. These tiny drops of water detached from the leaves, and descended to the ground... But instead, they found themselves landing on the nose of a rough-looking dwarf.
This dwarf, who had been sleeping, was startled by the sudden feeling of water running down his nose.
"Uh... huh! Hm!" The dwarf shot upwards, sitting up straight. He looked to the sky, smiling at the baby blue atmosphere.
"'Tis a fine morn. I should get going..." The dwarf talked to himself, almost as if he was crazy, and stood up. He gathered his belongings by the tree he was sleeping under, and headed out to the nearest road. He was headed south, to Magica Sari.
The dwarf, who calls himself, Angus, walked slowly. With each step, the ground shook slightly. At first glance, many would think he's the quintessential dwarf; rough, built like a mountain. Ironically, this dwarf was unlike the rest... his personality was more comparable to an elf, than any dwarf.
Angus trekked onwards, gazing over the wet land. He took long glances at the wild flowers, and studied the wildlife. And then... he spotted something. To the east, on a far hill, he spotted a strange figure... Was it a living being? Angus held his hand over his eyes, and squinted towards the horizon. He could make out a head, arms, legs... It was definitely something. And it was just standing there, not moving.
"Hmm... is that a man?" Angus pondered. He stopped, dropping his bag, and retrieved his binoculars. With the tool ready, he looked out to the horizon once more. But... the figure was gone. Wasn't anywhere to be found.
"...Huh. Maybe I'm imagining things. Perhaps I should stop eating those wild mushrooms..."
After a shrug and a sigh, the dwarf packed up his belongings and continued south. Hours passed.
Midday, present time. Angus had finally made it to Magica Sari. However, he was completely unfamiliar with this area. Would he be stopped and searched? Asked for I.D. of some sort? He didn't know...
-Zanark city, slums-
Drunk old Brandar stumbled around the city slums. Many people were disgusted and offended by the man, but he really couldn't control himself. He just staggered forward, with no destination in mind. Soon, he felt strange. Not quite sick, but something was definitely off.
"Hurk... seems like I'ma be sleepin' soon..."
Just as he predicted, Brandar suddenly stopped, and collapsed. He lay unconscious in the slums, just outside of an old, ruined mansion.

Magica Sari
"Hm? Well I'll be, here's something you don't see everyday. A dwarf outside of Murdor!" One of the guards blinked a few times, he was previously on the verge of sleeping on his job again until the dwarf came, that got rid of his sleepy mood entirely.
"Be nice, he's probably new to that place." The older guard scolded lightly.
"Yes sir,"
"Anyway, welcome to Magica Sari, Dwarf. Home of the Mahouni race and central heart of the Prisma region. Is there anything we can help you with?" The older guard welcomed the Dwarf.
Zanark Castle, Dungeon room
Locked away in the cold and damp cells of the Zanark Castle's dungeons, a woman whose face was shrouded by the hood of the light brown cloak she wore, prayed, but not to the Goddess, she was using telepathy, hoping someone would hear her out.
'Please...If anyone can hear me...Please, help me...'
Ruined Mansion
While waiting for a response from Kia, Crest jumped slightly when he thought he heard a voice suddenly buzzing in his head.
The voice was muffled and fuzzy in his mind, but he could definately hear it.
"Uh...Kia? Can Nora talk?" Crest asked curiously.

<Above Ocean>
In flight over the ocean's deep, blue waters, Fractal suddenly was interrupted from the dull, monotonous flight by a sensation, a telekinetic one at that, a telekinetic voice sounded within the combined minds of Fractal and Pas.
"Hey, Pas, did you hear that?"
"Yes, but she is irrelevant to the mission."
"Have a heart Pas, we have to help, besides, it feels like the source of the signal is in Zanark itself, we won't have to make a detour."
Pas hesitated to give aresponse.
"Fine, but if we are at risk of receiving injury, I will seize control and pull us out, do you understand?"
"Yeah, come on, let's go!"
Fractal folded his arms in closer to his body, and the arrow-head of light surrounding their bodies began to enclose around them, making a more streamlined shape and in turn allowing them to soar faster.
Below, Maxim's gaze was turned skywards by what appeared to be nothing more than a shooting star.
"Make a wish... Maxim..."
Maxim just laughed, knowing Fukiya was teasing him. He believed in no such nonsense, not magic, not myth, the only reality was the one he forged for himself from the furnace of hard work and science.
"Fukiya, we should get changed, we're about to reach Zanark."
He turned, briefly holding Fukiya close, before releasing her. She gave him a smile, allowing his hand to slide from hers as he descended below the deck into the armory, probably to retrieve his equipment. With a deep sigh, she returned below deck as well, retrieving her own armor and weapons. By the time she was fully outfitted and above deck, a landing crew had already assembled, with Maxim at its helm. Each of them wore completely identical armor, their faces shielded by the translucent, tinted face-shield covering their helmets. The only way she knew Maxim was at the front of the crew was by the commander's crests and red lines across the body of his armor.
"Fukiya, where's your helmet?"
"I prefer to work without one, it gets in my way."
"Please be careful, I wouldn't want you to get hurt... men, we want to go in and capture this man alive..."
Maxim unrolled a sheet of parchment, a detailed, black and white illustration of the man they were after marking its surface, and below, the name of the man, written in black ink, 'Raiku'.
"Scouts have confirmed this person may have valuable information regarding the location of a valuable resource to the military industry. If we can recover it, the future of Gewehr is secure. It is absolutely important we take him alive, and for that reason, you have been issued special, experimental new ammunition engineers have developed specifically for this mission..."
Maxim reached back, retrieving a strange bullet from his pouch, the cartridge appeared to be the same, but the bullet itself seemed to be of a different color.
"The projectiles are made from a synthetic, rubber material with a small, steel core. They are specially designed for non-lethal combat, shooting at a target with these will inflict severe pain, but will not kill unless fired at point blank range. Use these while in Zanark, they are some of our strongest supporters aside from Dreisenn, and we can't afford to lose their trust in our company by causing collateral damage, not to mention, killing the one we need to interrogate will make our objective that much harder to complete."
Maxim put the bullet into the chamber of his rifle, locking the breech shut and beginning to motion for the men to climb onto the landing vessel, boarding it at the same time as Fukiya.
The boat was suddenly dropped, splashing down into the water, its steam-driven engine beginning to power the propeller and pushing it shorewards.

~Zanark City * Port*~
Etsuko's pirate ship had finally approached the Capital of Humans, Zanark City. Once the ship approached the dock, they started wheeling down the anchors of the ship to restrict it's movement. Etsuko is seen running to the last anchor of the ship grabbing it with her hands and throwing it down the water with ease. Etusko is then walking onto the port of the town with Daisuke.
"Here you go kid! The city of humans, Zanark City!" - Etsuko
Daisuke takes a look at the huge city, and falls into a daze expression
So this is where I was born...
"Aye, are you okay?" - Etsuko
Daisuke releases himself out of the daze
"Oh. Yeah, it's a nice town. And don't call me kid. Hence I'm older than you by 2 years, and also taller. It's just weird" - Daisuke
Daisuke starts walking towards the city.
"Sheesh, so bossy. HEY GUYS! You guys set up the ship and get settled in! Don't cause too much trouble. I have to go with this kid to find some more information!" - Etsuko
"AY AY KAPP'N!" - Pirates
Etsuko runs up to Daisuke to catch up with him walking into the capital of the humans. They begin to start the search of Eiichi within the city.
~Zanark City *Slums*~
An old man is continuing his pace throughout the city. As he walks pass the slums, he catches a guy passed out on the floor. The elderly man starts to sprint his way towards the guy, and kneels down. He turns him over and attempts to wake him up.
"Hey are you okay?! Come on, wake up!" - Elderly man
He can tell by the smell of his breathe that this man has been drinking. He looks to be middle-aged. The elderly man looks around and sees no one around to help. The closest thing to this guy is the old ruined mansion. With all his strength, he puts the guy's arm over his shoulder, and carries him over to the mansion. The elderly man then knocks on the door.
"Hello! Is anyone home! We need help!" - Elderly man.

Kia Englehart ~ Ruined Mansion
Kia thought for a moment when Crest asked if someone had entered the mansion before he and the horde of children did, and as far as he remembered, only Symon was the only one he last saw, I dont think so unless youre talking about Symon. Why? Was there someone who was able to out sneak the Midnight Thief? Kia teased and walked behind Crest, nudging him in the back with his shoulder. However, while he did that, he didnt realize that Crest had flinched slightly.
Uh Kia? Can Nora talk? Crest asked curiously, which caused Kia to raise an eyebrow in response.
Uh no he answered while taking a quick glance at the black cat over his shoulder. Nora only stared back silently and Kia turned his attention back to the youth. Unless youre going crazy Ha, thatd be a laugh if word got out, he bellowed out a laugh and turned to walk toward the kitchen until Nora suddenly jumped off of Kias shoulders. Huh? Hey Nora, where are you going?
The cat only padded towards the entrance of the mansion and looked over her shoulders at Kia, as if beckoning him to open it. Thinking that Nora needed to go outside, as soon as Kia placed his hand on the door knob and began turning it, the cat twisted her body in the opposite direction of the door, and bolted deep within the manor. The door wasnt even opened and a few knocks was heard, nearly startling Kia.
Hello! Is anyone home! We need help! shouted the voice of an elderly man.
Kia fully opened the door and frowned when he saw a pair of men before him, especially when one of them was unconscious and smelled of booze. Ugh, what the heck? We take care of orphan children, not drunken hobos he took a step back from the door and turned to Crest, Hey Crest, you deal with this, yeah? he said while taking hold of the unconscious man with one arm from the elderly man and waited for Crest to come over to them.
((OOC: Ack, ninja'd... I was going to write out that scene differently with Kia finding Brandar... oh well. =3))

~Zanark City *Ruined Mansion*~
Ugh, what the heck? We take care of orphan children, not drunken hobos " - Kia
The elderly man shocked to hear that the mansion was an orphanage. At the same time, he felt guilty for bringing an unconscious drunk over to one.
"I'm so sorry. I did not know this was an orphanage. You see I'm, not from around here. I'm from Glenfall city, and I'm in town here to do some errands. As I was walking around the town, I came across this guy outside your mansion....." - Elderly Man
The Elder man looks down at the drunken guy, and can still smell the alcohol coming from his breathe.
"I mean I know, he's drunk and all, but I can't simply leave him out here in the slums. And the closes building was this mansion. I would never forgive myself if I knew I walked pass a man that was in need and didn't do anything about it...." - Elderly man
((OCC: I knew I was going to ruin someone else's plans when I made that post. My bad man.))

Uh no he answered while taking a quick glance at the black cat over his shoulder. Nora only stared back silently and Kia turned his attention back to the youth. Unless youre going crazy Ha, thatd be a laugh if word got out,
"Hey, I'm not crazy, I did hear it! Wait, what was that about Symon visiting?" Crest retorted before returning to what he heard about Symon.
Nora jumped off Kia's shoulders and headed to the front door. With the two following, they met an elderly man along with an unconscious large man, nearly almost as big as Raiku.
Ugh, what the heck? We take care of orphan children, not drunken hobos he took a step back from the door and turned to Crest, Hey Crest, you deal with this, yeah?
"Uh, sure." Crest nodded and helped with the other-side of the man, "We'll take it from here, old man. Be careful though, the slums aren't exactly safe." Crest said to the elderly man before he helped the unconscious drunk to one of the other lower bedrooms.
A few minutes later
Crest and Kia had finished taking the unconscious man into one of the empty bedrooms that weren't in use and had left to enter the dining room.
"Ah, good timing you two. I just finished making lunch. What took you?" Raiku asked.
"Sorry, we kinda got an uninvited guest." Crest laughed nervously.
"Well speaking of unexpected guests, we have one ourselves." Raiku glanced at Symon.
"Oh Symon! So Kia was right when he said you came to visit, how are ya?" Crest smiled.
OOC: No one should go to Zanark Castle just yet, I have an idea already planned for that place. ^^; So Psychon, if you post next, don't let Fractal get inside the castle just yet. =3

Ruined Mansion
Symon smiled in return, "Fine, thanks. By the way, sounds like your skills have improved, judging from what I've heard on my way here." He chuckled, "Last time, they had guards chasing you all over the place and Kia and I had to bail you out." Pausing long enough for the others to respond, Symon continued, "Now the great Midnight Thief has struck again, and no one is the wiser as to how he did it. Would you like to give me your autograph, Crest?" Symon asked teasingly.
Symon then turned to Raiku, "Sorry for the unexpected visit, Raiku, but I wanted to see you all before heading to church. I hope I'm not causing any trouble for you..." the young man hung his head apologetically.

"Fine, thanks. By the way, sounds like your skills have improved, judging from what I've heard on my way here."
"Heh, well, I praticed." Crest beamed.
"Last time, they had guards chasing you all over the place and Kia and I had to bail you out."
"Awww, don't remind me, I'm still having bad memories of that. Anyway, I was eleven back then." Crest pouted.
"Now the great Midnight Thief has struck again, and no one is the wiser as to how he did it. Would you like to give me your autograph, Crest?" Symon asked teasingly.
"Hey, no sarcasm." Crest playfully nudged him.
Symon then turned to Raiku, "Sorry for the unexpected visit, Raiku, but I wanted to see you all before heading to church. I hope I'm not causing any trouble for you..." the young man hung his head apologetically.
"Nah, don't be silly, kid. You're always welcomed here. Just think of it as an second home. Now then, let's eat." Raiku patted Symon's back before finally sitting down himself.
"Alright! I'm starving!" Crest cheered.
And so, the small family of orphans, tucked into their lunch made by their caretaker. Crest held the greatest respect for the old Drakonite and took pride in being taught by him how to fight. Even at his age, he still had unbeleivable strength.
Although he did wonder why he left the Drakonite City, Eskar in the first place...
Half an hour later
"Ah~ That was great!" Crest commented.
"Yeah, it's nice to have something different from soup for a change." Lola beamed at Crest who was next to her seat.
The whispered voice from before returned, Crest brought a hand to his head as the voice brought back the familar ache.
'I knew it! I wasn't crazy! But...who's the one in trouble?'
"Hey, Raiku? I'm going to be back a little late today. So don't be worried if I'm away later than usual." Crest told Raiku as he got up from his seat. "Thanks for lunch though!"
"Wait, hold on. Where are you going exactly?" Raiku raised an eyebrow in question.
'Ah...that's a good question...'
"Ah, nowhere really important, just a little walk around the middle plate." Crest faked a smile.
"...Alright then, I want you home before it gets really late though." Raiku sighed.
"Okay, see you guys later!" Crest waved before leaving the room and eventually the mansion.
Zanark Slums' Entrance
"Right...now that I'm out back in the middle plate, where do I even start looking? I've got to find out who's calling me." Crest pondered out-loud. "Something like this has never happened before, why now of all times?" Crest also added with a confused look.
He looked up to the upper section of the city where the wealthy people lived and where the Castle would be.
"...Nah, that's silly...or...could it really...?" Crest shook his head at the idea at first but considering the owner of the voice was in trouble, maybe it had something to do with the upper plate.

Ruined Mansion
Symon checked his watch, "That reminds me, I better go too. I have to attend the church. See you, everyone and thanks for the meal!" Symon then got up and bowed to everyone before leaving the mansion after Crest.
A few minutes later
Symon reached the entrance of the church and went in. Inside everyone greeted him and Symon returned their greeting. A young woman walked up to him and bowed, "Good day, Symon."
Symon smiled, "Good day, Maria. How are you?"
Maria lifted her head and smiled too, "I'm fine, thank you. By the way, your moth-I mean Priestess Laura is waiting for you."
Symon chuckled, "I know..." Suddenly Symon felt a sense of dread wash over him, as if something bad was going to happen soon.
Maria must have noticed for she grew concerned, "Are you alright, Symon? You look pale..." She look at him worriedly.
"I'm okay. It's nothing." Or rather Symon hoped it was nothing. As Symon went off to pray, he disregarded the feeling for a time.

<Zanark: Skies>
Fractal circled around the city a couple more times, searching for the telepathic signal several times more, but the air was silent, devoid of any signal he could use.
"Fractal, we can not waste any more time, please land and proceed with the investigation."
Begrudgingly, Fractal began to descend, breaking away from the arrow-head shaped shell of light surrounding his body, allowing him to descend straight down onto the roof of a nearby building. He walked from rooftop to rooftop, searching for any sort of news services, papers, public billboards, even the outdated town cryer.
<Near Zanark: Shores>
The landing craft hit the beach, and the front panel opened up, allowing the entire crew, headed by Maxim and Fukiya, out onto the shoreline.
"Fukiya, you lead a squad in, I'll take another; the plan is to divide our two squads into two fireteams each and patrol, red flares mean the target has been found, green flares are the signal to return here to the landing vessel."
"Got it..."
She was about to run off, before she felt Maxim's hand on her shoulder.
"Fukiya, don't be afraid to take shots at the head, I know you don't like killing, but remember, these bullets are nonlethal, you can probably knock someone unconscious with a good shot to the head or neck with one of these."
"I will, stop worrying Maxim, I'm not gonna get hurt."
She smiled at him, and barely managed to catc the figure of a smile in his own tinted helmet.
"Okay men! Let's go! We're coming in from the south! Fukiya's squad's taking the north!"

~Zanark City *Upper Plate*~
Daisuke and Etsuko walking around the nice houses and manors of the upper plate of the city, looking for Eiichi. So far, no one recognizes him.
"Alright.... Sorry for bothering you guys" - Daisuke
Turns away from the housekeeper of the house they just visited. The man closes the door.
"Damn it man, we're never going to find him!" - Etsuko
The two walking out of the houses property and behind the rich gate of the manor.
"I don't think we're being smart to be honest. I doubt he would be in the upper part of town, where all these rich people are. If anything he must have checked into an inn to stay at, which could be at the middle plate or even the slums. We aren't exactly the richest in Glenfall city." - Daisuke
"We have to walk all the way down there?! This is taking too much effort just to find your old man Daisuke" - Etsuko
" You're the one to complain, searching for treasure all your life around the world. Come on" - Daisuke
The two begin walk over to the middle plate and continue their search for Eiichi.
~Zanark City *Slums*~
"Uh, sure."
Crest nodded and helped with the other-side of the man
"We'll take it from here, old man. Be careful though, the slums aren't exactly safe."
"Thank you very much. You guys are such kind people. I'm grateful for what you are doing." - Elderly Man
The elderly man starts to walk away from the mansion after they close the door.
"They are such kind people. If only more people like them would exist in this god forsaken world." - Elderly Man
He continues to walk around the slums.

Kia Englehart ~ Ruined Mansion
When everyone finished their lunch, Kia also turned to Raiku and thanked him for making the meal. He was glad that it was something a bit more satisfying than the usual food they had to eat or even scavenge around the slums. When Crest went off to take a walk and Symon bid them farewell, Kia remained in the dining room with the rest of the children and helped clean up. He took the dirty dishes and placed them in the kitchen sink where a Felis boy was washing them. Though, as he faced towards the door, he thought about the older man that they had brought in earlier who was unconscious and smelled of alcohol, wondering if he should check up on him. When he was about to leave the kitchen, he suddenly stopped and looked down at the pair of small empty bowls on the ground.
Ah, thats right, I forgot to give Nora some food,
he thought and went over to a small cupboard by the sink and took out a cup full of tiny pellets. As he poured the cat food in one bowl, he was expecting the black cat to come rushing into the kitchen from the loud noise of the pellets hitting the bowl, but the cat didnt show herself after thirty seconds of waiting. Huh? Where is she Kia scratched his head and took the food bowl in his hands, calling out the cats name as he walked around the mansion. When he still found no signs of Nora, he made his way to his room and opened the door.
you are, Kia said in irritation as he placed the food bowl on the ground by the doorframe, Heres lunch, come on.
Nora was lying relaxed on Kias bed and gazed at her master with a firm look in her eyes. The tip of her tail occasionally curled up and down as she purred at the scent of food, however she made no effort to pick herself up to go over to it. Instead, she only meowed loudly as if telling Kia to bring the food bowl over to her.
Oh no, youre not going to dirty up my bed again with your food. You either go hungry or come right here to eat, Kia pointed to the bowl, but Nora only snorted while giving him a displeasing look, Bah, Ill come back to check up on you later! he turned around sharply and closed the door behind him, not noticing a strange deck of cards near Noras tail. All of them were colored a deep shade of violet and black, and at the center of the top card was a picture of a seated feline of sorts with its tail split in two.
As Kia left his room, he stopped by their sleeping guests room, which was about a couple of rooms down from his, and slowly opened the door to check on the mans condition. Kia wasnt sure if the man was still asleep or if he had woken up yet, but he made sure that none of the other children were around before making his way inside their guests room.

I don't mind paying the duties as long as I am shipping USPS if its not time sensitive. The issue for me is the fact that they won't even ship the item anymore so there is very limited brands that are allowed to ship outside the US.
That forces me to use other means now.

Carat (purity)
It has been suggested that this article be merged with Millesimal fineness and Fineness. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2013. |
The carat or karat (symbol: K or kt) is a unit of purity for gold alloys.
Contents |
Measure [edit]
Carat purity is measured as 24 times the purity by mass:
- is the carat rating of the material,
- is the mass of pure gold or platinum in the material, and
- is the total mass of the material.
Therefore, 24-Carat gold is fine (actually 99.9% Au w/w rather than 100%), 18-Carat gold is 18 parts gold 6 parts another metal (forming an alloy with 75% gold), 12-Carat gold is 12 parts gold (12 parts another metal), and so forth.
In England, the carat was divisible into four grains, and the grain was divisible into four quarts. For example, a gold alloy of fineness (that is, 99.2% purity) could have been described as being 23-carat, 3-grain, 1-quart gold.
The Carat system is increasingly being complemented or superseded by the millesimal fineness system, in which the purity of precious metals is denoted by parts per thousand of pure metal in the alloy; e.g. 18-carat gold, 75% Au, would be called 750.
Volume [edit]
However, this system of calculation gives only the weight of pure gold contained in an alloy. The term 18-carat gold means that the alloy's weight consists of 75% of gold and 25% of alloy(s). The quantity of gold by volume in a less than 24-carat gold alloy differs according to the alloy(s) used. For example, knowing that standard 18-carat yellow gold consists of 75% gold, 12.5% silver and the remaining 12.5% of copper (all by weight), the volume of pure gold in this alloy will be 60% since gold is much more dense than the alloys used: 19.32 g/cm³ for gold, 10.49 g/cm³ for silver and 8.96 g/cm³ for copper.
This formula gives the amount of gold in cm³ or in ml in an alloy:
- is the volume of gold in cm³ or in ml,
- is the total mass of the alloy in grams, and
- is the carat purity of the alloy.
To have the percentage of the volume of gold in an alloy, divide the volume of gold in cm³ or in ml by the total volume of the alloy in cm³ or in ml.
For 10-carat gold, the gold volume in the alloy represents about 26% of the total volume for standard yellow gold. One should be aware of this, since talking about purity according to weight could lead to some misunderstandings; for many people, purity means volume.
Derivation [edit]
"Karat" is a variant of "carat". First attested in English in the mid-15th century, the word "carat" came from Middle French carat, in turn from Italian carato, which came from Arabic qīrāṭ (قيراط), which came from Greek kerátion (κεράτιον) meaning carob seed (literally "small horn")[1][2][3] (diminutive of κέρας - keras, "horn"[4]) and was a unit of weight[5] though it was not likely used to measure gold in classical times.[1]
In 309 CE, Roman Emperor Constantine I began to mint a new gold coin solidus that was 1⁄72 of a libra (Roman pound) of gold[6] equal to a mass of 24 siliqua, where each siliqua (or carat) was 1⁄1728 of a libra.[7] This is believed to be the origin of the value of the karat.[8]
Terminology [edit]
22/22K - a quality mark indicating the purity of gold most popularly used in India. This purity was adapted and practiced by the big jewellers and was later passed to jewel smiths. The first 22 signifies the "Skin purity", the purity of the top layer of the gold jewelry, and the second 22 signifies that after melting purity of the gold jewellery will be 22-karat, or 91.67% of pure gold. This system is used to show consistency in the quality of the gold.
This practice was pioneered and introduced in the early mid-1980s by Nemichand Bamalwa & Sons of Kolkata, India, sparking a revolution in India, as it forced jewellers to indicate correctly the after-melting purity. Heightened consumer awareness made it a most sought-after stamp or quality mark.
This symbol or stamp can be found in such Asian countries as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Yemen, and Persian Gulf countries.
International caratages of gold jewellery
Region[9] | Typical caratage (fineness) |
Arabic countries, Far East (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan), Malaysia, Indonesia | 24-karat "Chuk Kam" (99.0% min) |
Arabic countries, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka | 22-karat (91.6%) |
Arabic countries in the Persian Gulf region | 21-carat (87.5%), 18-karat (75.0%) in most Egypt |
Europe - Southern / Portugal | 19.2-karat (80.0%) |
Europe - Southern / Mediterranean | 18-karat (75.0%) |
Europe - Northern Germany etc. | 8- to 18-karat (33.3 - 75.0%) |
Brazil | 18-karat (75.0%) |
Russia/former USSR | 9- (37.5%) and 14-karat/old 583 and new 585 проба (58.5%) |
United Kingdom | 9-carat to 22 carat (37.5-91.6%) |
United States, Canada | 10-karat to 18-karat (41.7-75%) |
Chinese Gold Standards [edit]
Zú jīn (Mandarin), Chuk Kam (Cantonese) (足金) means pure gold, literally "full gold". It is defined as 99.0% gold minimum with a 1.0% negative tolerance allowed.[9][10] The quality of gold is guaranteed with a "Certificate of Gold" upon purchases in Hong Kong and Macau. The related term "千足" and "万足" meaning "thousand exact" and "ten thousand exact" is also used for purity of 99.9% and 99.99% respectively. This is because the impurity is at most 1 in 1,000 in the case of 99.9% or 1 in 10,000 for 99.99%.
United States [edit]
The USA Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has standardized the karat markings used within its boundaries for almost 7 decades as of 2010. Under these regulations, items 10-karat or greater are to be stamped with either "K" or "Kt." Decimal markings are also an option under the CFTC regulations.
Under-karating is against the law in the United States of America. There are specific mandated consequences including fines, etc., based upon the severity of the infraction(s).
In addition, there is a set of tolerances to the required karat markings in the USA (always designated with a "K" and never a "C") depending upon the use of various soldering requirements when setting stones, mounting crowns, or creating prongs, for example.[11]

How is BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Intelligent Design, and Creationism?
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."

Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?

Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.

Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.

The possibilities are endless, and here's why: Without hair on top, the face becomes the canvas. However, since your facial hairstyle will also now be the primary focal point, there are two things to always keep in mind:
1. The fuller (or wider) the beard, the less balance the overall face will have. Even with hair on top, full beards can expand to make the face seem disproportioned. When there isn't any hair on top to serve as a balance, this tendency is even more pronounced. So one quick way to keep the fullness and create balance is to ask the barber to taper or fade the top of the sideburns, above the ear.
2. The longer the beard, the longer the face may appear. Popular goatee styles like the Vandyke and the full Vandyke can help create length in those who have weak chins or rounder faces. However, paired with an already strong chin or longer face, those styles can make the face seem even longer -- especially when there isn't any hair on top.
So if you're going with either of these styles, whatever your face shape, consider growing the hair no longer than 2 to 2 1/2 inches below the chin.

Fort Hamilton still serves New York after Hurricane Sandy
Tuesday, November 20th, 2012DVIDS
Story by Staff Sgt. Osvaldo Equite
For more than a century, the present-day Southwest corner of New York City's borough of Brooklyn was used to protect the entrance of New York's harbor from intruders during the American Revolution and as a fort during the American Civil War.
Its construction, which began in 1825 on the Eastern side of the narrows, was completed after six years. Today, the 120-acre installation stands besides the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the U.S.

Romans 6:5-11 "So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus." God has freed us from sin, but often we don't believe in his love enough to forgive ourselves. What is it that you have asked the Lord to forgive in you, but have not let go of yourself? This would be a good time to trust the Lord enough to forgive yourself.

There's a belief that our core decisions are based on unconscious bias. To test this theory, you can quickly take the Implicit Association Test (IAT). After you've read this post, I strongly encourage you to actually go to the site and complete one or more of the tests. They don't take long and the results will amaze you. The IAT measures the implicit attitudes and beliefs that people are either unwilling (deceiving others) or unable (deceiving themselves) to report. For example, you may think that men and women share an equal place in the work force. Yet, your responses to the IAT may show women more greatly associated with the home and men more greatly associated with the office. It seems there's proof here that people don't always know their own mind.
Consider how many negative compound words and phrases begin with the word "black" (example: blackmail.) When training on preconceived notions, I sometimes ask the attendees to take two minutes and write down as many words and phrases they can think of that begin with black. There are many, but relatively few that are positive in nature. In a recent session, there were a total of 37 different words listed by the group in two minutes and only three (Black Beauty, Black Beans and Black is Beautiful) were not negative. In the old westerns, what color hat did the good guy wear? What color are angels? What's a white lie? Black is the color of death. Widows wear black when they're in mourning. We hang black wreathes to symbolize a death has occurred. Black is bad. White is good. We've trained our brain to think this way. I have been asked if I think this color association is related to race. There is reference to black being evil as early as 1401 BC, prior to a time when cultures and races were geographically mixed. So, while I don't know why we've trained our brain to make this association, I do not believe it is related to race.
We have the ability to train our brain in positive ways, too. Ask any parent if they had to teach their child to lie. It's quite the opposite. Lying is intuitive to a child. When challenged and they know the true answer will get them in trouble, they will instinctively lie. It's self-preservation. Parents must train their child NOT to lie and hopefully there comes a time when truth telling is instinctive for the child. Remember the George Washington/Cherry Tree story. That is purposely taught to early childhood students to stress the importance and self-gratification of being truthful.
For those of us that are charged with making sound business decisions, these unconscious prejudices should be of great concern.
When evaluating business decisions consider these issues:
- Is there a conflict between two or more values?
- Who has a stake in the decision? Do you have a tie to an interested party?
- Who's being harmed? Who's being helped?
- What's the worst that can happen? What the best that can happen?
- And, perhaps most importantly: Can I live with the outcome? Could my mother see me do this and be proud? Would I want my children to do this?
Be mindful of how old attitudes formed by these implicit associations may be tainting your business judgment. Take the time and energy to overcome these preconceived notions. One more time, train your brain to make sound, legitimate business decisions based on facts and evidence rather than an antiquated way of thinking.

But the part of the report that applies says: "Three Salvadoran immigrants living in Virginia, two illegally and one as a lawful permanent resident, were found guilty of helping four September 11 operatives use fraudulent documentation to obtain Virginia identification documents." And as I read it, all they did was take some cash for letting the hijackers use an address where they never really lived on applications. And btw, against popular rhetoric, every study shows that crime in the illegal population is less pervasive than in the general population. They're too afraid of being caught for some petty crime and deported. |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A man convicted of attempted felony murder and armed robbery will spend the rest of his life in prison after being sentenced Wednesday to two concurrent life terms.
Nicholas Duane Warren, 23, was convicted in August. He and co-defendant James Taylor broke into a Jacksonville beach home in March and used a crowbar to beat a man. Warren and Taylor also tried to shoot the victim, but the gun jammed. Warren took TVs, a laptop and other electronics from the home.
Warren is a prison release reoffender. He was convicted in 2008 of grand theft auto and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was released from prison in November 2009.
Taylor pleaded guilty in August to charges of attempted felony murder and armed robbery. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison.

It's now official: Point guard Jacoby Davis signed with Mississippi State this morning, the school confirmed, giving new coach Rick Ray his first signee. Davis committed Tuesday.
The 6-foot-1, 192-pound Davis played last season at St. John's Northwest Military Academy in Delafield, Wisc. He's originally from Charlotte, N.C., where he played for two different high schools. He signed with North Florida last year but was not admitted by the school.
Davis, who turns 20 next month, will likely step in and run the point next season. The only other option right now is signee P.J. Hardwick.
"I think he'll be a great addition to our team because he's a winner, and he cares about the team," Ray said in a release. "Jacoby will be a valuable asset to our team because he is a true point guard that can set up his teammates, but he's also a good shooter and will take pressure off of his teammates with his ability to knock down shots."
Davis averaged 21 points and five assists last season. The season before, he led West Charlotte High to the Class 4A state championship, averaging 17.5 points and 5.3 assists. The Charlotte Observer named him to its All-Observer team, and Davis was all-state his junior and senior seasons.
He also played quarterback on his football team. So, yes, his profile is very similar to that of just-departed point guard Dee Bost, who played high school ball in the Charlotte area, quarterbacked his football team, then spent a year in prep school (Hargrave Military).
"There have been a lot of great point guards at Mississippi State, and hopefully I can come in and continue that tradition," Davis said in the release. "This is a dream come true."
Davis' addition gives MSU five members of the 2012 signing class, and Ray could sign up to three more.

I voted for John McCain..who I supported after R. Giuliani opted out of the campaign. I thought Mr. Giuliani, the former mayor of NYC, and US Attorney, was, by far, the best qualified to govern this large, complicated country, and deal a final death blow to the Islamic terrorists, Jihadists, and bring the wars to a successful conclusion as quickly as possible (remember. C. Powell wrote after Vietnam that we should use overwhelming force in future wars. We didn't, thus Iraq's quagmire.). Lets face it, we are playing games there..not playing to win. Okay, so, Obama now is selection his cabinet..from old, and I mean old, Clinton's administration. I thought he wanted CHANGE, starting from the bottom up. Well, we are getting change all right, from the top down. The treasury secretary and HIS team, will approve a stimulus of over 500b. Ford and GM have yet to receive a dime proposed..while Honda, VW and Toyota continue to spend millions on soaking Americans into their vehicles. Hillary Clinton for Sec. of State, my gosh, we have short memories. But that is what these politicians count on. Obama is proving what I knew all along, he is not a statesman or a messiah, just your average politician.

More speculation on the shape of the new cabinet, a nice bit of reporting. Still, when I hear the words hillary clinton and secretary of state in the same breath, sentence or show for that matter I begin to convulse regardless the quality of the reporting. What happened to the time when the vanquished just fell honorably on their swords. Why can't the journalists please just let things unfold without causing me to heave in the middle of a otherwise good show. We need to regain credibility in the world, in what regard would she endevor to do that. Our current secretary of state flies around in a MiG jet preaching compliance, contrast that with Hillary, her dusty broom and empty rhetoric. The Clintons left office impeached, the whole term was one of turmoil.. Why not just let her do her job as a ny state senator, praise her efforts in that respect if there are any. Please stop speculating her into a place where she might only disgrace the country further. The country clearly does not want Hillary in the executive branch, I thought that was made clear with the recent election results. There is so much goodness in the world, let's embrace it and move on. If president obama decides she is the best qualified for that job, then let him say so. We can all then fall on our swords as a nation together. Or we can embrace her as his most favored appointment as secretary of state, whatever he says goes, but I'd like to hear it from him and not some reporter speculating on it, because it simply carries no weight in itself and can be irksome to listen to.

Lessig is brilliant on copyright and the connection between money and results (soft corruption) in government and in our own lives.
His ideas point in the direction of the changes I'm hoping for in our government and culture.
http://lessig.blip.tv/ his video channel that Rose refers to.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lessig His bio and varied interests. His thoughts are innovative, practical, and betray refreshing humility.
So glad also to discover this repository of Rose's interviews--thank you.

Vilcabamba a beautiful, almost magical city. The air over here is clean and the food is fresh. The sky is blue but the moods are definitely not. The life force strongly emanates from plants and animals, if I were a Jedi knight, I would describe it as more than usual concentration of Mediclorians.
If you want to be a part of a much more friendly bunch of people, if you want to see accelerated changes in your life, if you want to see a clearer picture Planet Earth's beauty from one of the mountains here and just relax, then you owe it to yourself to check it out.
There are rooms for as low as $6 a night and one can eat and drink on another $6 a day. Otherwise fruit trees are everywhere.
I want to meet you over some organic aromatic tea or superb coffee.
Remember that reality is very fluid and is easily influenced by our wishes, thoughts and visualizations.
The two individuals that made it worth my while ever since I came to Vilcabamba was Bill and Christine, they are very rare and very pleasant individuals, just being in their company is very gratifying and rewarding.
Looking forward to meeting you.
