Ask the weirdoes.

"Oh great, we're stuck with you again," Hope groaned as he looked up at the thread's title.

"You think YOU'VE got it bad being with her?" A ginger-haired girl scowled, poking Hope's chest with her index finger. "Try being her creation! Do you know how many times I've been upgraded since I saw you last?!" 

"Now, now...Aki, Hope, let's not fight," Rinoa stepped between the two 14 year-olds. "We've got company, and let's at least TRY to enjoy being here."

"Easy for you to say," Mila grumbled from her place on the couch, running a hand through her short brown hair. "Ray, do we have any beer?" She called.  

Castiel stood by the wall, staring up at the ceiling, as though he was wordlessly talking to somebody upstairs.

"To make the intro short, I'm the RPer, Lauren, formerly known by some as 'Trace', or even 'Rin'. These are my puppets and OCs," Lauren adjusted her glasses and plopped onto her red beanbag chair. "Ask away."

Puppet list:
Castiel (Supernatural)
Rinoa Heartilly (FF8)
Hope Estheim (FF13)

OCs:
Aki
Mila Shiraki
Raymond "Ray" Evans

"Have you ever noticed that all original characters seem to hate their creators anymore?" A voice said rather conversationally as a rather spindly looking man appeared in the middle of the room. His appearance was rather sudden, and even he seemed a bit jarred by the sudden jolt, but he quickly brushed himself off and resumed conversation, leaning against a chair rather lazily, long black hair draping around his nearly skeletal figure. He'd have looked rather sickly if it wasn't for the smug smile on his face and the air of confidence that followed his otherwise crooked form.

"No, honestly, every time enter one of these topics you get some whiny 'original' -though I use that word loosely here- characters complaining about how terribly hard it is for them to get along with their creators or their other inmates" he grinned a little bit, "From the looks of it you could be much worse off. No one here has threatened to slice your tongue out, at least not yet, and you're still standing without the aid of any necromancy which is always a plus."

"Ratio! What in the five hells do you think you're doing?" a voice cried as a second figure appeared in the room, a handsome young man with a mop of curly blond hair falling into his eyes, "Ye merciful gods, why can I never keep up to you?"

"Because you don't try." Ratio smirked, "and honestly even if you did try, dear Seven, you couldn't. I'm just that superior to you. After all, there's a reason why you're second in command."

Seven sighed a little bit, "I should apologize in advance." he said, "I'm not sure what he's said to you, but when he's in these moods, it's usually nothing good." he sighed a little, forcing a smile, "I'm Seven Serrina and this is my master Ratio. We're... usually not this abrupt I assure you."

[scarlet5]

"Welcome!" Rinoa chirped, waving to the new company, unfazed by their sudden appearances. "I'm Rinoa, and this is Hope," she patted the silver-haired boy's shoulder.

"Over there is Castiel. We're the puppets, as you can see." Upon seeing him STILL staring at the ceiling, Rinoa sweatdropped. "You'll have to excuse him. He's not exactly all here when he talks to whoever's in Heaven. ...At least, I think he talks to people in Heaven."

"And you can see my OCs, Aki and Mila. Ray's over in the kitchen. Back on the subject, they have their reasons for hating me," Lauren said dismissively. "Can't blame them, since I'm a bad mommy."

"After seeing how many Suethors use interviews of their characters to make them LURVE their creators for giving birth to them and making their lives hell, you get a little sick of the creator's unsubtle ego trip," Mila told Ratio, making a sour face.

"Bad mood? Oh dear," Lauren murmured. "We'll...try to tread lightly. No guarantees. Just"

[Brandon Skyblade]

Brandon entered with just Bri...while she clung to his leg. "Haven't done this kinda thing in a while. Bri, can't you get off? Please?" He asked.
"But...but, your leg is so soft!" Bri answered.
"Excuse my adorable, yet clingy sister. Also, be thankful the other one isn't here right now. Anyway, I'm Brandon and the clingy one is Bri." Brandon explained. "Also...we're a bit on the fence about our creator. We appreciate him making us, but we do think that some things he does are...strange, as Ratio would probably put it. Like absolutely whoring us out on this site when he hasn't made a single story that he'd planned to make."

"HEY! I have NaNoWriMo plans!" I interjected from a distance.
"For November." Brandon retorted. "So...we have Rinoa and the whiner with a boomerang. Seriously, Hope...A BOOMERANG? Link's got balls for using that, but...not even anything that would remotely hurt anyone or anyTHING?" He yelled.

[Darth Pichu]

Ratio smirked, "I think that's called Schizophrenia, my dear." he said glancing at Castiel and shrugging a bit, "Though I suppose I can't quite talk. I summon up things from hell and order them to do my bidding. I suppose that's something like talking to the dead." he grinned mischievously.

"Ratio that's enough." Seven turned to Riona, "I'm really, really sorry."

"So am I." Ratio said, glancing at Hope, "Poor Hope, having to run around with a girl's name. That must be utterly demeaning."

Seven glared at Ratio, "Stop." Ratio just grinned coolly.

"It's not a particularly bad mood." Seven explained, turning to the woman who appeared to be the creator of the bunch, "Just... strange and annoying."

"Speaking of," Ratio glanced back as Brandon and company entered, "Who let them in here?"

Seven smiled a little. Perhaps they would keep Ratio sufficiently entertained while he tried to make amends for his masters words with the rest of the group.

"I'm afraid we can relate." he said quietly, "Our er... author likes to tell a good story. Who has to get hurt in the process is usually of little concern." he smiled a bit, "But it doesn't mean we hate her. Just... respect and are partially still scared out of our wits of is a little more accurate." he laughed nervously, "It's kind of hard to outwardly hate someone who could feasibly end your existence at any given moment. Not that I ever would that is." he looked around nervously, and let out a sigh of relief after a few seconds.

[Brandon Skyblade]

"I suppose you want me to bring Brianna in here, cause you're annoying me already, Ratio. It's only me and Bri, in case you haven't noticed." Brandon corrected. "Not that Twili would be capable of...oh wait. So can she as well."

Bri perked up when she saw Rinoa. "Heya, Rinoa! How's your dog doing? Not to mention Squall as well."
"That's Leon." Brandon said, imitating Squall's voice and laughing about it.
"Brother...it's not nice to make fun of him just cause he used a different name in Kingdom Hearts." Bri chastised.
"But, he had no reason to. If he did it there, why not in FF8 first?" Brandon asked.
"That's a good question, actually..." Bri trailed off.

[scarlet5]

"A pleasure to meet you, Brandon and Bri," Lauren grinned. "I can sort of understand your creator's...dilemna, being a writer myself. I whore out my own OCs while writing stories about them that have yet to touch the internet or paper."

To Seven, Lauren tilted her head. "You poor dear...It sounds like quite a terrifying ordeal for you."

Aki perked up at Ratio's mention of summoning things from hell. "You really do that?"

"Blame Square Enix," Hope said flatly to Brandon and Ratio's remarks.

"Gotta have at least one character with a sucky weapon and no previous experience with combat," Rinoa sighed, remembering her Blaster Edge and her SeeD friends. She turned and smiled slightly at Bri. “Angelo’s fine, napping upstairs. Poor baby’s tired from the move here. As for Squall… I haven’t seen him in a while. He's probably fine, though." She giggled at Brandon's imitation. "That sounds a lot like him!"

[Brandon Skyblade]

"Do I now? Hmm...guess who this is!" Brandon said, deepening his voice. "I'm a spiky-haired, BFS-carrying whiner that went from happy at the end of my game to depressed as hell when my movie came out. Also...I sometimes...pause like...this from the...poor lip synching...in Dissidia."
"That's a bit easy..." Bri admitted.
"Fine, then this." Brandon said, now heightening his voice. "I'M CAPTAIN BASCH OF DALMASCA! EXCEPT NOT REALLY!"
"Speaking of the former, where is he?" A female voice said, in walking what appeared to be Tifa.
"Ha ha, very funny, Twili." Brandon replied.
"Told you this costume is too easy, Bran." Twili said back.

[Junkie]

Vile quietly walked inside the thread. "Hello, anyone here?" He asked. That is, until he saw the puppet list. Then he muttered. "Oh boy. They sound familiar."

[scarlet5]

"Hello, old friend," Lauren waved casually to Vile, recognizing him immediately.

"Another friend of yours?" Rinoa asked Brandon, referring to Twili.

[Junkie]

"Old friend? I have no idea what you're talking about." Vile said, joking of course.

"Oh cut the crap Junkie. She's knows it's you." Leon spoke, walking into the thread.

"I told you not to call me that here!"

[scarlet5]

"Haven't seen you in a while, Leon," Rinoa greeted, hands behind her back.

"Well, that's ONE familiar face I see," Hope waved half-heartedly to Vile.

"So you prefer to be called 'Vile' here? I can respect that," Lauren chuckled softly. "Don't expect to see me outside of the Ask Threads or a few random RPs when it comes to RPing, though. I'm probably not going to be here for very long periods of time."

[Junkie]

"Yeah, I probably won't be here that much either.....or any other rping site since now I'm working." Vile said before waving to Vile.

"Oh uh, hi. Yeah, Jun....I mean, Vile, decided to bring me back here." Replied Leon, glaring at his puppetmaster.

[scarlet5]

"Congrats again on that, m'boy," Lauren told him. "Say, have you met Castiel?" She looked back at the trenchcoat-wearing man staring at the ceiling. "Hey, Cas! C'mere and say hi!"

Castiel looked over at them and slowly made his way towards the group. Once he reached them, he averted his gaze for a monent, then looked at Vile.

"You'll have to excuse him. He's not exactly social," Lauren laughed nervously. "Castiel, meet Vile. Vile, Castiel."

"Brought back against your will, huh?" Rinoa shook her head. "It happens."

[Junkie]

"Why thank you." Junkie smiled before looking at Castiel. "Uh, hi there, Castiel."

"Yep, and there's nothing we can do." Leon sighed.

"Well, you're not the only one that was brought back here." Axel said, walking into the thread. "Seriously Junkie. Make up your freaking mind on where you want me to be."

"I already told you all to call me Vile here! God, it's not that hard of a name to remember."

[Brandon Skyblade]

"Yeah, another friend. Her name's Twili." Brandon introduced.
"Hiya." Twili said to Rinoa, waving as well. "You know, I never noticed how similar your hair is to Tifa's. Which...by default, would make it similar to mine."
"You sure it's entirely a Tifa cosplay? I mean, you actually have SLEEVES with that. ...Short sleeves, but still sleeves." Brandon commented.
"It's the winter. If you think I'm going for a sleeveless style, you're either just plain crazy or want me to freeze." Twili replied.
"I know, I know...I'm sorry." Brandon said back.
"That's okay, you had a good point with the desi-wait, why DID you memorize a detail like that?" Twili asked.
"When you have a girlfriend that looks like a character you know, you tend to remember clothing details." Brandon said, shrugging a bit.

[scarlet5]

"Yeah, I saw that with Tifa. Just flip the bangs to the other side of her face and add highlights," Rinoa nodded.

"Hello," Castiel nodded back to Vile. "You're an RPer."

"You're just calling him that to spite him, aren't you?" Mila asked Leon and Axel, taking a sip of her beer, which had magically appeared on the coffee table in front of the couch.

[Junkie]

"Eh, maybe. Dude keeps dragging me here and there." Axel shrugged.

"Me, I just forgot. I mean, we've all called him the name for so long, and now he decides to change it." Leon said.

"Yep that's right." Vile nodded. "Don't worry, you have a very good puppetmaster. Speaking of puppets." Vile looked over to Hope. "I brought one of your friends here. Uh.....Sazh is his name."

[scarlet5]

"The dude with the little chocobo in his afro?" Aki raised an eyebrow. "Hrm...His Eidolon is pretty sweet, though."

"Sazh is here?" Hope blinked. "Cool. Guess I'll stop by your place and say hi to him."

"Except for whenever the demon possessing her shows itself," Castiel said to Junkie. "I'm unable to truly exorcise it."

Mila frowned and mouthed to Rinoa, 'Demon?'

'He means her alter ego,' the Sorceress mouthed back.

"No, it's a demon, Rinoa," Castiel's response made Rinoa jump.

"Hyne, Castiel! How'd you--when I'm behind you?!"

[Junkie]

"Yeah, I bet he'll be happy to see a familiar face." Leon said.

"Oh you mean Liz? Yeah, she's not all that bad to me." Vile shrugged. "Although I really don't think she's a demon. Just another personality."

[scarlet5]

"It's a demon," Castiel said flatly. "Some pretend to be less, but they can't be truly trusted."

"One thing that I might've forgotten to mention, Vile," Lauren coughed lightly. "Cas is an Angel currently possessing a human body. He also knows his stuff when it comes to demons, angels, the Bible, etc..."

[Junkie]

"Oooooh." Vile said, watching the video.

"Well, what about a half breed, that fights his own kind? Can they be trusted?" Leon asked Castiel.

"And now for something unrelated." Vile grinned, looking at Hope. "Oh Hope, what do you think of....THIS PICTURE?!" He asked, showing the boy said picture.

"Oh please don't tell me you're doing that again." Axel facepalmed. "Ya did that with the afro guy."

[scarlet5]

"What sort of half-breed are you talking about?" Castiel frowned. "Also, I should warn you that I can be a...poor example of an Angel." He had killed a few of his fellow angels to protect two humans and go against all other angels of Heaven and demons of Hell. Dean was also a bad influence on him sometimes.

Hope's eyes widened at the picture, and he covered his nose as his face turned red. "Put that away!"

"Aww...Your first nosebleed!" Aki cackled, patting Hope's back.

"Pff!" Lauren cracked up at the image. "That's absolutely hot, Junkie. ...Like the video, huh? Well, Cas is freakin' hilarious when he gets drunk, although it takes a lot of liquor to do so. And his one-liners are always good for laughs. He's a lovable dork."

[Junkie]

"He part human, and part demon." Leon started. "He also own a little demon hunting shop called Devil May Cry."

Vile couldn't help but laugh his ass off upon seeing Hope's reaction. "How did I not know he was going to react like that?" He finally got up. "Oh indeed it is." Vile said, putting the picture away. "Well, at least I didn't show you a Farroncest pic."

"Farroncest? I don't even wanna know what that is." Axel grimaced.

[scarlet5]

Unfortunately, Hope got the what Vile meant. Blame hanging around Lauren.

Aki caught the boy before he collapsed. "C'mon, silly boy," she snickered, guiding him away from the others. "I'll show you to the bathroom, but you're on your own after that."

"...In that case, I don't think Heaven would be too concerned with him," Castiel finally repsonded.

"Because Sammy's an abomination too, having been fed demon blood; but he fights demons," Lauren added. "Right, Cas?"

"That is correct," the angel nodded.

[Junkie]

"Can, Sammy transform into a demon just like Dante?" Leon asked.

"Hmm....I guess he does know what it means." Vile shrugged.

"Alright what the hell does it mean?" Axel asked and boy he shouldn't had. His puppetmaster whispered it into his ear. "Ugh......dude that is fucked up! Seriously!"

"Yeah, that's the same kind of response Sazh had when I told him about it."

[scarlet5]

"No, but Sam Winchester is Lucifer's true vessel," Castiel told Leon. "Drinking demon blood has prepared him for becoming the Devil's vessel, also increasing his own powers and immunity to demon attacks."

"Incest is always sick," Rinoa scrunched her nose in disgust. "Poor Sazh."

[Junkie]

"Oh, that doesn't sound good. And I complain about fighting a bunch of infected people." Leon said.

"What? Not like I showed him any." Vile shrugged.

"What do ya mean you didn't?" Sazh asked, walking into the thread. "If it wasn't for that guy giving me some brain bleach I'd still be having nightmares." He pointed to Axel when saying that. "Now, the pic with Light and Fang, well..."

"Yeah, he showed Hope that picture." Axel told him.

"What? That kid's here?"

[scarlet5]

Castiel nodded. "Infected people are the last thing to worry about when the Apocalypse is ready to happen." Demons, angels who took charge of Heaven because God disappeared, the Four Horsemen...Although there WAS the Croatoan virus shown in a few episodes.

"Implications count, Vile," Rinoa crossed her arms. "Plus, what do you expect from a 14 year-old boy who spent time alone with an attractive female soldier?"

"Yeah, he's here," Aki replied to Sazh as she returned, still snickering softly. "Poor baby saw the picture you mentioned, too, since Vile practically shoved it into his face."

"Is he okay?" Mila frowned.

"Don't worry too much, Mii," Aki waved her hand in a dismissive manner. "As far as I could tell, only Hope's nose was bleeding. He should be out here soon."

[Junkie]

"Uh.....to get laid?" Replied Vile just as Axel smashed a pot over his head. "OW! Oh come on! That pic wasn't all bad. I've seen more, explicit stuff on DA with all three girls."

"A nosebleed? Well I guess that means he like it." Sazh chuckled a little.

"Yeah, that also means most of the male fans of FFXIII are pretty perverted." Axel added.

"It's not just the guys. I've seen some yuri pics done by girls." Vile spoke again. "Speaking of XIII, I just finished watching on YouTube."

"Uh, I wouldn't count on it. You should see some of the people that get ready for an Apocalypse of infected zombies rather than demons." Leon said. "But I guess it just depends on what words we come from."
