[FFRP] The RP Nexus

[muffinstud]

"Well, Zack, I can tell you that simply being a woman doesn't make you weak. It's your perception of strength that does. Even if you are to return to being male, you can't be a lone pillar of strength. In fact, one of the greatest signs of moral and physical fortitude is knowing when you need help. I feel these kinds of feelings, not necessarily those you feel towards Keo, mind, would crop up eventually whether this transformation happened or not. What you need to do is find another well to draw your strength from, aside from your physical frame. Whether you remain like this or go back to how you were, can you think of something you can draw your strength and courage from?"

Naru shrugs. "You wanna check it out, Sakura?"

[Ookalf]

Naru shrugs. "You wanna check it out, Sakura?"

I suppose it would do no harm.

[Mendi-chan]

"..." Lionel shakes his head and sighs at this Max person. He takes the ball of water and lets it fall on the guys head. "Now girls while Zoey is busy with Phil what do you say we go ahead and do that sit in. Also sir eavesdropping, investigating in the manner you have is wrong. and personally I don't think one who has some potential to actually do something with their life should be acting in such a manner." The ten year old boy smiles at Naru. "Well, come on I promise it will be a good time."

The ball of water falls upon Max's head, soaking it throughly. He gives a cheerfully apologetic look to the group. He didn't really understand what was wrong with observing a bunch of interesting people like themselves, but he was smart enough to know that apparently they really didn't like his form of investigation. "Well I'm sorry if I've made anybody mad, I didn't mean to offend nobody."

[muffinstud]

"Well, normally people introduce themselves before ogling them and such. My name is Naru, I got here just a couple of days ago from a place called Shoujoland. You?"

[Mendi-chan]

"The name's Max Maxwell, and I'm new to this place too. Pleasure to meet ya'."

[Zoey]

"My family..." responded Zoey faintly.

[Ookalf]

I am Sakura Akashi.

[muffinstud]

Phil nods. "That's a good source, but you have to use it carefully. How you used to feel responsible for your mother and sister is healthy, but remember that they are responsible for you as well. Call it interdependence, synergy, whatever. A family isn't a dictatorship, it's a team that only works when everyone does their part. Now, I realize that you're separated from your biological family right now. That's hard. But there's also strength from adopted family. Like your friends. They seem to care for you very much. And when you start your own family, your wife or husband can be a great pillar to lean on. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without my wife's help."

Naru gains a thoughtful expression. "So where are you from...?"

[Zoey]

Zoey again stays quite while she thinks. "How did you manage to grow accustomed to being a guy? And why did you accept it?"

[Mendi-chan]

Max raises his hand, as if to make a point of his next statment. "I am from..." His hand drops, but his smile doesn't. "Er... To be honest I don't really know. Just kinda happened upon some kinda plaza and went where it looked the most interesting."

[muffinstud]

Phil chuckles. "Kicking and screaming. For the longest time I thought I was going to turn into some hairy, sports obsessed brute. One of my friends literally smacked some sense into me, though. I had no idea she could punch that hard. I realized then that if she could still punch like a guy, maybe there were some things of my former self I still had. It got me to stop complaining, but actually getting used to being a guy? That took a lot of little things over an even greater period of time. I'm sorry, but there's no magical, quick solution. You just have to get used to it. Of course, my friend helped me along and I did the same for her. But don't get me wrong. My wife is a sweet lady, but she still punches harder than I do."

"Okay, that's weird. You have amnesia or something?"
[I think I smell new character...who wants dibs on the tf?]

[Ookalf]

(I'll do it. Any requests?)

That may explain some of his behavior...

[Zoey]

Zoey sighs, getting up from the chair. "So your saying even though you looked different, you still managed to be yourself..."

[Mendi-chan]

((Not really. I'm cool with whatever.))

Max shrugs. "Not sure one way or the other, but it don't bother me much. Can't miss what you can't remember I suppose."
The boy seems to begin observing the girls of the group. Based of his expression and demeanor one can tell its not in a sexual way, but more of an inquisitive fashion. "But I already know about myself, so that's not very interesting. Let's talk about you guys. What was all this about a virus and all?"

[Nosnits]

Nora reluctantly walks over to Max. "And my name is Nora." She says unenthusiastically. "Nice to meet you. I guess"
