Chrisy had her sleepingbag propped against a tree, and she slowly fell asleep.

After a little while, Seiki put his keytar away and curled up in his sleeping bag. As night settled in, they all fell asleep, quietly and peacefully with nothing but the sounds of nature surrounding them.

ooc: BLARG! Time skippy ~

Blake's eyes jolted open, and quickly shut again as pain surged through his body. He was sore, yesterdays fight taking it's toll on him. He looked around him, seeing the others still asleep. Checking his shoulder, he saw it healing some.

Gumi slowly woke up. Once awake enoguh to function, she sat up and looked around. She noticed Blake was awake so she got up and went over to him. "How're you feelin'? May I check your wound?"

Blake looked up at her and nodded. He was becoming less shy, which to him was an accomplishment. He was still afraid of some people to an extent, but is learning to overcome this fear.

She slowly removed the bandage and looked at his wound. "It should heal up just fine, though it'll likely leave a nice sexy scar which'll help you get a ton of girls." Gumi smiled with a slight chuckle as she spoke. She rebandaged him up, applying some more medicine.

Blake blushed and nodded. He mouthed the words, "Thank you"

"Don't mention it." She said. Gumi went back over to where she had slept had got her things together.
Meanwhile, Neru woke up with a yawn. She got her up slowly. "So, when are we heading out?"
"After the others wake up and Blake feels well enough to keep going." Gumi said.
Neru kicked Seiki awake. "Get up so we can go."

A scream pierced through the calm and quiet morning air. A frantic Chrisy had awoke, bugs swarming over her sleeping bag. "BUUUUGGGSS!!!" she screeched, wrestling out of her sleeping bag and running in the opposite direction, leaving a trial of kicked up dirt.

Neru facepalmed. "Great, make lots of noise. Why don't you just draw every enemy in the area to our location. I kid you not, I'd ready to just leave this girl."

Blake rolled his eyes and watched the dirt settle.

Neru took one of Gumi's shoes and threw it at Chrisy.

The shoe missed but she saw it and looked back. "That's not very nice" she said. She walked back to the group and slowly went over her sleeping bag. After practically killing it by shaking it a million times, she rolled it up and put it away.

Gumi, unhappy at Neru, went and got her shoe. Seiki and Neru gathered their things together, gettign ready to leave. "Well, thanks to Chrisy's screaming, whether we're ready or not we can't stay here much longer. We need to go, soon." Neru said.

Blake slowly stood up, making sure he didn't fall. After balancing, he checked his hoodie and frowned when he saw it ripped.

ooc: nEw character coming soon

Neru and Seiki finished getting their things packed and got ready to head out. After Gumi finished getting ready, she looked over to Blake to see how he was doing. "I'm sure we could sew that up for you." She smiled.

Blake looked at her and smiled. He then looked over to Chrisy who was ready and giddy at that. "Before I gave the map to Neru, I looked at it and saw that Pop was REALLY close by!" she said happily.

A roar was heard nearing them. "We need to leave. NOW." Neru said. She motioned for the others to follow then went off into the forest, trying to stay hidden, while still visible to her companions. Gumi and Seiki worked to quickly keep up.

Blake walked as fast as he dared, still alert and watching the woods. Chrisy skipped along Merrily, replaying song lyrics in her head.

Neru used the map as a guide to work her way through the forest, towards the Pop shrine.

ooc: Rp skills = 2/10. Wrapped up in blanket, heater broken.

The shrine slowly came into view. It was in the middle of a clearing, the sun rays only pointing towards the shrine. It looked like a crown on a pillar, a dark essence emitting from within the spikes of the crown. As you got closer, a key hole came into view in the middle of the pillar.

OOC: I'll keep you warm. <3

"Uhh, ok, so what now. We're here, how do we free it? Unlock the keyhole thing or jsut smash the thing and stop the dark junk pouring out of the top?" Neru said. "Stupid map!"
"I'd say unlock it." Gumi said.
"With waht key?! We don't have a key." Neru was growing frustrated.

Blake walked up and examined the key hole. After much thinking, he turned to the others, smirking. He shook his head and walked a little bit away from the pillar. He loaded an arrow and aimed for the key hole. Chirsy watched the crown with much interest, watching how the dark orb within it let off a black essence.

"This is so stupid, I wouldn't be suprised if it worked." Neru was being her usual cheery self.

Chrisy saw something in the woods, so she decided to go check it out, disappearing into the forest. Blake let the arrow fly, hitting in the hole. A "Chink" was heard, and then the sound of little gears moving against each other. Even though that would be good, Blake frowned. He went over to the keyhole and examined his arrow. Nothing was happening to the shrine but the sound of gears moving. He twisted the shaft of the arrow, another click being heard. Suddenly, a brick wall sprung up from the ground, surrounding the shrine and pushing back the group.

"Good job, you locked it even further." Neru said.
Gumi shot her glare before turning back to Blake. "At least you tried. I'm sure there's another way to get through."

Ooc: night. If i dint post tomorrow, that means i froze to death during the night.

OOC: Don't die!!! 'll keep you warm with the power of my love!!!

OOc: i survived! BLARG! I won't be on much today though, its the Historical Fair for my town.
Elephant ears and cotton candy and lemonade and shops and music and damn Bouncy Castles that arnt set up yet or not here Outhouse races. I only have $20 though and I still have to go uptown to get a pink shirt, two rolls of hot pink duck tape, and pink shorts/jeans;.

OOC: Why all the pink?

ooc: My class color is pink...*cries*

Blake began to back up from the wall, and stepped on a piece of ground that sunk in. Instinctively, he fell to the ground, hands over his head. Suddenly, crashing out of the trees was a very confused looking Chrisy on a big black wrecking ball, hurdling for the wall. She screamed and jumped off, the wrecking ball slamming into the wall, breaking it down.

OOC: It's ok. *hugs*

"So many questions...." Seiki said.
"First of which being 'what the hell?"." Neru added.
"I suppose it's one way to get through." Gumi shurgged.

Blake looked at the shrine as the dust cleared. The part of the ground he stepped on must have been a trigger, as the pillar had come down so the crown was on the ground. Forming a circle around the crown, names of Pop musicians back to back surrounded the crown. In the crown, a black orb hummed quietly.

"So.... We broke through the pillar, what now? Smash the crown?" Neru asked.

Blake looked at the crown quizzically. Chrisy stepped closer to examine the names, pointing out her favorites.
