TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?

Care to hear about our lord and savior Operation: Mindcrime? In all seriousness: Hello, hello! I'm Pharaoh Leap – or just Leap – local head admin and rock opera enthusiast. On the rare chance you catch me in a time when I'm not bawling about characters entirely written into song, you may see me actually doing work around the site, like skinning, making too many characters, and encouraging others to also make too many characters. I only know how to write angst, and in no fewer than six trillion words an app or post, so if you like dying while reading like I like dying while writing, I'm the girl for you. ;o
Howdy guys! The names Astro and I am your resident Brit & Red muse (you'll honestly see me more on him than any of my other characters). I'm a moderator and my main job is to make sure everything is running smoothly so the Admins can focus on other things, you'll often see me within the apps and shops, etc when I'm not on Red. What can I say about myself? Apart from being a Red fanboy I like music and games and yaoi huehue, I honestly never now what to put into these sort of things but ohwell, I'm more of a "ask me and I'll tell" sorta guy. Anyway, from my personally I hope that you enjoy the site and what we produce here but also if you're new, please look around and if you like what you see please consider joining for rad plots that everyone gives! :D
Hey there~ Nano over here! I uh.. Wait, I'm doing this right, right? Bleh. So I'm a moderator over here - fun, fun - who kind of just.. Keeps an eye on everyone. You know, the whole app thing and what not. Uh.. Lets see.. When I'm not doing school work (because I may or may not be trying to be a good student) I'm probably storming up new ideas like events and etc. Or plots. Plots are always good, too. As you can see, I uh.. Have the horrible habit of making way too many characters. I swear, I was tempted with plots, ships and angst. It's like, the holy trinity. Uh.. What else is there about me? Oh, right! Please excuse my obnoxiousness. I'm just really loud in general so don't be surprised if I start screaming as loudly as I can caps. So yeah. Nice meeting you!

Uneventful as ever, it seemed. [break][break]
Only when she managed to muster enough energy to drag herself home. For, perhaps the third time this week, Lan Chi arrived back to her quaint little house with a smile on her face - in spite of the darkened hours and the less than ideal timing. A long day of work it was. It was dangerous work, she was aware, however she did try her damn best to get through the long, dragging hours that demanded so much from her. Toil and work, toil and work. Had she known that this work would be so physically demanding, she probably wouldn't have gotten involved in the first place. Unfortunately, she has already got her tied in with the work that stole a valuable gift from others; their lives. Now, that's not to say she didn't know how to treasure life. In fact, long years and centuries of experience have mould her into a woman who could, at the very least, keep her morals straight. [break][break]
That being said, she's lived long enough to know that there were those who didn't appreciate the life they were given, and were more beneficial to the world by dropping dead. Years of killing and the like, thankfully, steeled the young woman of a harsh world ahead of her. Then this introduced her to the ever-evolving and expanding generations after her. The same generations that she would be walking alongside with. The very generation where things that she would laugh off as a fantasy, existed as an every day application. Now to say how quickly the world's developed over her years was astounding to say the least. Sometimes, it nearly made the Florges woman exhausted. Sometimes she felt like her bones were just getting too old for this. [break][break]
But based off her appearance? Anyone would beg to differ. Nearly half a millennium and she still looks not a day over thirty, with long, brunette locks and a golden gaze that seemed to see through any individual whom crosses her path. Though she's thankful for this near eternal youth, she's found more and more men approaching her after she chose to grow her hair out. While she doesn't mind the attention.. She would prefer not to be called over. Not after the many years of failed relationships. The woman mulls her regrets over in her mind, eyes glaring down at the floor before her in pensive silence. However, her gaze breaks as her ears pick up the sound of the television on in the living room. Initially, the woman is looking down the hallway, registering it before her a smile pulls at the corners of her lips. Though she knows he usually stays at his own apartment the majority of the time, she has told him that he's welcome back home at any time. After all, it's hard to live alone and without the company of another after growing so attached, no? That's what she thinks, too. But though she thinks that, Lan Chi has made herself a strict boundary; family as he may have been, perhaps it would just hurt her too much, knowing that she will outlive this child. [break][break]
Like all the rest. [break][break]
Nevertheless, Lan Chi chooses to brush off the sentimental thoughts and near regrets formulating in her mind. With that, the Florges gijinka slowly (and very quietly) sneaks into the living room with a slightly more devious foreshadowing to her changing expression. It's not long until the woman looms over from behind, and her hands quietly rest against the back cushion of the couch. With that, she continues to glance upwards at the television she set on top of the fireplace. There, she found a young girl dancing on the screen, upon a stage with the dazzling lights on her. Cheering crowds and whatnot. Lan Chi has known about the earlier version of entertainment, and admittedly, she always found it entertaining how enticed Walther seemed to be when he laid eyes on the young, pink singer who seemed to be enjoying herself in the attention of others. With that, her hand slowly slide over to his shoulders, more with the intention to poke at him out of the blue. But rather than actually touching him, she eventually brings them up to cover both of his eyes with a chime. [break][break]
"Guess who?~" The woman coos, her voice raising up in tone and into a sing-song voice. "I managed to come home early~ But I was surprised to see you here before I was." The woman giggles a tiny bit, hands slowly beginning to lower. With that, she steps to the side in order to lower her body that bit. Lower down a bit before resting her arms against the backing of the couch. Her head tilts that tiniest bit to rest against her forearm in subtle interest. "I see you're watching Estelle performing again?~" Once again the woman coos, lifting an arm to gently poke at his cheek in an endearing fashion. "The both of us know how much you like her, why don't you go to see her? Your friend - Tae Seung, was it? - should be able to easily introduce you to each other~"

“yo…I’m home…”
It was a lazy and bored tone as he yelled those words, but it was something he felt he needed to say. While not the more polite way of announcing his return it was his way and probably not going to change. Removing his shoes and walking in with his sock covered feet, Walther lazily walked into the home he was too familiar with and walked into the kitchen, placing on the lights as he placed a bag of freshly made desserts upon the counter. “ah, that’s right she is probably working around now…” Walther said glancing around the empty house.
This was his home away from home, or at least perhaps he would say maybe it was the opposite. Of course he had his own apartment that was very clean and well taken care of, but the thing was that he didn’t really stay there much. Even though he moved out he still found himself still spending most of his time at his adopted mother’s home. His mother was one who didn’t age and one who suffered because of it. The loneliness she must have felt was great and Walther held a great deal of gratitude to the woman. It was because of this gratitude that he wanted her to live happy as long as she lived and he did not wish for her to be alone, but perhaps it wasn’t just that he didn’t want her to be alone, but perhaps he didn’t wish to be alone without her as well.
Stretching his arm with a yawn, Walther walked over to the living room and collapsed on the nearby couch, laying on it as he took the remote and placed on the television as well. Completely bored, Walther rested his elbow on a cushion and prompted his head up his palm as he flipped through the channels trying to find something interesting. “Nope…nothing…dull…I might as well just take a nap or some-” Walther began to say but then stopped as his eyes widened as he noticed what was on tv.
The girl was on the television once more, the girl that just made things just far too complicated for him, the very girl he knew all those years ago. Releasing the remote and sitting up straight Walther just watched as a singing and dancing pink haired girl was performing in front of a crowd. It was annoying seeing that girl so much in all the media, but every time he saw her while alone it was almost like he entered a type of trance as he watched her.
He didn’t know how long it had been since he started watching, but suddenly everything turned black as his eyes were covered and immediately his jaw opened a bit in shock. “Wh-what the?! What are-” Walther began to say already knowing the culprit was as his hand tried to reach for the remote, missing it as he tried to feel for it as his mother spoke. It was too late in the end as the woman had already seen what was on the television and with it Walther just closed his eyes and groaned as the woman went beside him. Crossing his arms, Walther narrowed his eyes and glanced over at his mother before then looking away to the side “tsk, it’s not like that! I don’t like her I don’t even know anything about her and like hell would I get Tae to help me out! Tsk she just reminds me of somebody I used to know and that’s all. You know I could care less about idols and hell I can’t even talk properly to a woman…” Walther said.

She wasn't sorry for how she was treating him. She wasn't sorry for her playful teasing, her roundabout concern and the irritation she may be imposing on him. No, she certainly was not sorry in the slightest. [break][break]
Rather, Lan Chi could only giggle as she watches the young man nearly sputter from her entrance. Thankfully, he was accustomed to the fact that she was only ever the one person who would do that to him in his own home, other than his friends of course. Once again, the woman gently poked his cheek in curiosity and interest alike, the same grin stretched across her face as she registers his own disdain. "Aw.. Come now. We all know that you have some sort of feeling towards her~" And with that, the woman giggles a second time. Her hand trails up to the top of his head, fingers ruffling his hair and slowly messing up the platinum blonde locks. "There's no use denying it, Walther. We both know you like her~" And with that, the woman giggles softly before beginning to poke him once again. "Much as I love you, dear, you really need to work on your social skills~" And once again, the woman coos him with that playful grin on her face. [break][break]
No, Walther. You will never be free from her motherly love. That's never going to happen, and we both know that it's never going to work out. That being said, however, Lan did appreciate his company. To her, the span of a decade or two flew by like a year. By now, a hundred years felt like one. She's been living so long that she's forgotten just how long she's been around. She's forgotten just how poor the conditions were back when she was a child. She forgot about how people looked down upon a woman who would take in a child that wasn't of her blood in some areas, or how she would be seen as a floral witch back in the day. Back in the long, toiling days of yonder, no? Hah.. But some form of companionship was certainly welcomed, especially how she's.. Probably given up on the majority of "love" interests she's had these past few years. even if she brought a man home, she could only imagine the look of disdain upon Walther's face at the thought of a potential, adoptive father. [break][break]
The image prompts a giggle from her. [break][break]
Oh sweet, darling, innocent and naive Walther. How easy it was to tease you, she mused. Her hand begins to retreat as a means to offer some mercy, but that doesn't stop the woman from giggling at his near frantic explanation. "Someone's getting defensive, there~" Her voice chimes once again. The woman's figure begins to walk to the side, around the couch before reaching forwards to grab the remote herself. Her hand gently dips towards the direction of the screen, lips curling into more of a smirk. "Mmn? If you weren't interested in her, I don't see why you'd waste your time watching idols and the like." And again, another giggle. "Especially when you always seem to pause on this girl, specifically." Lan Chi slowly lowers the remote again, now lowering her body to take a seat right by the other side of the couch. She crosses her legs while prompting her elbow against the rest of the seat, shortly resting her cheek in the palm of her hand. The woman's golden gaze is fixated on the pink figure upon the stage, enjoying herself as much as she possibly could. Admirable, she thought. But at the same time, she found it cute how Walther had a little crush on her. [break][break]
"Come now, you don't really think you can fool me, do you?" The brunette chuckles to herself. Entertaining the thought was a joke itself, because they both knew that the woman who raised him could easily read him like an open book. "So long as you don't say something inappropriate, talking to a woman is easy!" And with that, she leans herself back into the seat. "Come oooon.. I want some grandchildren I can actually see~" [break][break]
Was that a joke? Yes, it was. But I think we all know that, to some extent, it wasn't. [break][break]

This woman was truly an annoyance, but nonetheless she was the woman he called mother and no matter how much she annoyed him he still loved her regardless. He couldn’t necessarily say he absolutely hated it and if that teasing was gone perhaps things would feel empty for him, but Walther never really did want to think of stuff like that at all. That woman was going to be around him teasing him and he was going to begrudgingly accept it. That was how things were and Walther was fine with it.
Eyes quickly narrowed as her hand went into his long hair and before he knew it he found it being ruffled by the woman causing the young male to try and move away grumpily while turning a bit red in the face feeling that he was being treated as a child. “Oi quit it!” Walther said with a grumble before she begun to resume her poking. This woman was just far too troublesome for him and she just loved killing him with her words.
Lan brought up the sheer fact that each time Estelle appeared upon the television he would actually pause and watch and at this point it was a fact he just couldn’t deny. Gritting his teeth he looked to the side and let out a tsk before his eyes looked forward once again at the television as she sat beside him.
Walther went silent once more as he watched the girl once again, but then a commercial came on and with it his eyes closed and a sigh was released from his lips. “…geez its nothing like that. If that idol is who I think it is I…think she is an old childhood friend of mine back before I met you” Walther said closing his eyes lazily as he folded his arms behind his head and rested his back against the chair, raising his head as he closed his eyes. “She is the only link I have left to my past so obviously I’m gonna find some interest in looking at her, but I honestly have no intention of reconnecting with my past” Walther said lazily. “Besides she isn’t the same person I knew back then. Watching her prance around like that in those girly outfits like that…heh she’s probably all stuck up and snobby” Walther said casually.
Lan spoke about how talking to girls was easy but Walther couldn’t help but let out a sigh “tsk easy for you to say…women are complicated and I just can’t get the words to come out properly” Walther said and cringed the moment he heard her speak about grand children before recovering. “tsk I don’t know why you’re in such a rush for grandkids…didn’t know you wanted to be an old granny so bad” Walther said jokingly with a small smile.

Golden eyes stare down idly at his person, for the woman could not help but to giggle the slightest bit at his aggressive denial. His pure reactions and the disdain on his expression was cute, cute enough for her to coo over it like a doting mother would to her son. Even though her son was, physically, about four years younger than she was, oh she knows he was far younger than her. Mmn.. A young little sprout she likes to call him, even though it was something he didn't exactly seem fond of. But even then, she finds it all the more entertaining. Hell, she finds it cute even when he's trying to lean back and away from her doting. "Aw, c'mon now~.. Lighten up!" And with that, Lan continues to poke at Walther's cheek for the sheer amusement of it. The reddening of his cheeks, the flush and etc? It was precious and adorable, she couldn't help but to giggle and gently press the tip of her finger into his cheek. "I don't remember raising you to be so stiff~" And another coo, all while maintaining that amused grin on her face. [break][break]
After all, he was her adopted son. Oh, it nearly pains her to see him growing up so quickly. How many years had it been? Just a bit over a decade since she took him off the streets? Whether it be out of pity or otherwise, she doesn't know. But it doesn't change the fact that she would absolutely love to have him stick around. But.. Well, he wasn't a child anymore. Even though to her, he was very much a toddler. He was probably only an eighth or less of her age, which is why she treats him like a kid. She will treat him like a child, she will always treat him like one. There was no stopping her, love. Lan Chi lets that sink in a fair amount before smiling a tad bit, shaking her head before gently poking him once again. "No intention reconnecting with your past, hm..?" The woman silently hums to herself, pondering the notion before her pokes slowly transition into soft flicks. "I know you're an adult, and I trust that you can make your own decisions--" She starts. Her amber eyes narrowing a slight bit while staring up at the male. "But even then, i'm your mother. I don't want you to think on something and regret not doing something~" And with that, the woman giggles a slight bit before beginning to poke at him again. [break][break]
"Your life is short~.. Even then, there are things that you should still do. Nothing lasts forever, after all~.. For all you know, she won't always be there for you to watch." Again, speaking from generations of experience. Lan didn't seem all too impressed with the young man's initial impressions and attitudes, which is enough to get her to poke at him until it's practically jabbing him in the side. The fairy woman groans in a low tone, pouting her cheeks with distaste. "Go. And. Meet. Her~... Again, who knows? Life does many things and surprises many people~" And again, she would know. Now Walther, she says this out of concern and love, no matter how irritating it may seem and how annoying it may get. Now she's saying that but.. As for his latter words, Lan finally curls her fingers into a fist before literally punching him in the side with a rather warm smile. "Not that complicated~" [break][break]
He was just really bad at talking to girls. [break][break]
But for that granny comment, well, she was already a granny. Technically, she had grandchildren already. Successful ones, if she may add, but they didn't know of her existence. Didn't know that she was alive, and she didn't know their faces. Or.. In person, that is. "I'm already a granny, squirt~" and don't forget it. "I just wanna watch you get married off and everything~.. Every mother's dream, y'know? Watching their little one grow up~.. C'moooon~ It'd really make my life if I got to waaatch~"
