What is Ruffles?

Another avatar site. It has a monkey jungle theme.

I used to go on there, what happened to it?

owo Sounds scary. lol

ok so in about 14 hours i start my weekend, or at least part of it haha, my grandma is goming to visit for a bit tommorrow

It is actually a really cute small site.

They got new much nicer avatars in January.

Right now, though, I only get a 404 not found error when I try to go there.

Cho: Yay! Weekends are always fun. x3

Angel: Hm..well maybe I'll check it out when it comes back.

They are supposed to have a summer event going on now, so I hope they extend the event.

That'd be nice. lol

It sure would. Especially since today was the day I planed to make most of my event points since it is my day off, and I had been late to the event.

THat really sucks. I would cry I think. D:

Yup. I am sad panda.

However, it is quarter to 7 AM on Sunday in Australia where the owner is, so I'm hoping that she notices the problem and fixes things soon.

How long has it been going on?

I'm not exactly sure, but since at least about 6:30 AM here in East Coast US time - some 10 hours minimum.

Oh I thought it was going on for days. o.o xD They probably just shut it down to set up for the event.

OH! The event started ... last week(end) sometime. I forgot.

The error has been happening for at least ten hours.

Oh. lol Well then I sowwy. owo

Hopefully she will notice and fix it and extend things another week. ^.^

Taiye walked into the general mess hall alone for a late night snack. She decided to come here instead of the one at the Rebel base because she wanted to see what some of the loyalists were like. She couldn't remember a lot about what happened before she met up with Reve so was somewhat curious to meet some of the opposition.

Azeil was tired of dealing with the loyalists, finding some of them rather exhausting. Being it that he held no real loyalty to the queen, just for his own life, he was tired of hearing all the praise for the clearly insane woman. He knew enough of normal people to know a lot of people seemed to congregate wherever there was food.

Only a few steps in though and he stopped, recognizing a very familiar green-haired woman. "Taiye?" He asked.

Taiye had grabbed some pieces of bread and started to munch away when she heard her name aloud. She looked up at the man... she recognized seeing him at the Rebel camp a few days ago but neither him or Espy had paid any attention to her that day. She swallowed the bread and answered, "Uhhh hey? You a rebel or something..?"

Azeil just shook his head, brows furrowing a bit in confusion. Always one to be late on information of most any kind, he didn't know what had happened to her. "You don't remember me?" he asked, then paused, "What happened to your wings?" He walked towards her, but he didn't get too close. If she didn't remember, he worried she may be hostile, and he had no intent to fight her.

Somewhat taken aback, Taiye thought to herself, this again? What Reve told me must be true if this man knows me... but is he knowing me a good or bad thing? She looked over the figure standing before her trying to decide if she should trust him or not. After a few moments she slowly replied, "I... don't remember ever having wings. I'm simply a Valyarin... unless you know something I don't?"

He blinked, confused clearly. Although his posture and... near concern enough should put her nerves at ease. He was clearly not hostile at all towards her. "Yes... I believe I do... although I do not know if you're supposed to know," he said slowly, watching her. How odd to see the woman without her wings and such. /Human/. Or close at least. He didn't like it, they were too weak.

Feeling more at ease Taiye rested her chin in her palm and replied, "Well I have been told that I used to fight alongside Ascellus and was a Divine Captain but not many details besides that. I wouldn't doubt the person who told me these things but it doesn't really make sense. I don't know why I would give something like that up if I had such a thing. That's what confuses me the most..." She looked down at the table and then back up at the man in front of her. "Did you know me then..?"

Azeil merely nodded. "I did," he said, "I was a captain as well. I would say I fought along side you, but that would be a lie, as fighting isn't exactly something I do if I can avoid it. I... don't understand why you would give it up, either. Although Ascellus was a horrid being..." He shuddered a bit at her memory. Braen was cruel in his own way, but he'd yet to be harmed by the God.

Taiye raised an eyebrow at the mention of Ascellus being 'horrid'. Why would I fight for someone like that? she thought to herself. "So we were on the same side then?"

Azeil merely nodded at the question. "We were," he said, pausing a bit, "Sort of." He rubbed his arm with one hand, a bit of a nervous habit of his. He couldn't help but not want to make a bad impression on this... 'new' Taiye. He wasn't sure she even knew before what he had done... He never would now, he supposed.

Seeing his somewhat nervous movements, Taiye thought it might be better to change the subject. "So... what part are you playing in this battle? You say you don't like fighting." she gave a small laugh as she took another bite of her bread.

"Ah, I hate fighting, but unfortunately I must guard the queen," His nose wrinkled a bit, "No way around it. I was... um, assigned by Braen..." His voice got increasingly more quiet with the last sentence and he just kind of looked around a bit.

Taiye took a piece of bread and broke it in half, "Ahh I see how it is. So you're a loyalist?" She smirked before continuing, "So we were allies before and now on opposing sides. How interesting. I suppose I like this freedom of being a rebel. Fighting for what I believe in instead of fighting for something someone else believes in." She smiled up at the man in front of her before taking another bite. "...I didn't catch your name?"

"You could say I'm fighting for mine," he said with a small shrug, "I keep my life if I do this." He was pretty positive there were no creatures around that could control shadows. Or... rather he hoped that there weren't. As such, he wasn't worried about his life. Injuries were likely, but loosing his life wasn't at all. "Azeil, my name is Azeil."

Taking the last bite of the bread that she had in her possession she brushed the table of crumbs before replying, "I guess everyone has their reasons for doing what they do. I'm still trying to figure out what my reasons for doing things I don't even remember doing are." she laughed, "and, nice meeting you again Azeil."

Azeil merely nodded and smiled at her, rather pleased the woman didn't seem to have changed too much after all. "It is a shame, though... that you're mortal now. So fragile..." He sighed a bit but just nodded. "It was good to see you again, Taiye."

Taiye half frowned at the comment, she lived most of her life fighting in wars so giving up Divine strength... it made her wonder all the more. She stood from the table and simply commented, "Well I'm not sure why I'd give up superior strength like I apparently did, but I'll just believe that it was for a good reason." She gave Azeil one last look before heading towards the exit, "It's late, so I best be heading back."

"Take care, Taiye," he said, "And be careful." He didn't like worrying over people, but lately it seemed he couldn't help it. Azeil didn't worry over Asura, although he thought of her often, he knew she could take care of herself, and knew Braen wouldn't let her die. He did, however, worry over his little foxxy friend and now Taiye as well. Mortals... He simply shook his head before slipping into the shadows to return reluctantly to the Queen.

The small fox watched the exchange from the corner, her jade eyes switching back and forth between the two, frowning lightly, confused she just tilted her head to one side, not understanding the conversation they were having. "M..mrr?" Frowned lightly, she then just focused her vision on the male's wings, wondering what kind of species he was, maybe something related to a bird?

*cho awoke slowly, she was situated on a pallet away from the hustle of the tables, surly it had been little rumiel who had laid her out* .....hmm...uh, astor?

*Blinked up at the sound of her voice, her fluffy snowlike ears perking forward as she bounded over to her, jade eyes wide and worried* c..cho..! a..are you okay?

yes, what happened? did it do anything strange this time *she looked tiredly at the mess-hall*
