The taxi driver had the radio on during the ride, so Gerrit had heard the entire strory.

Who would try to attack the Pope!?!?!? And how would they manage to even get in there to do so? It could have been a vampire the way the reporter described the blood and all...

The taxi pulled up to the Coluseum and Gerrit got out and paid the cabby. He walked up to the crumbling building and walked inside through the guarded front gate. The inside was massive, filled with rows and rows of stone benches, along with the massive court in the center where the battles were held. Gerrit walked along the rope that closed off the path tourists were supposed to stay on, but Gerrit snuck under it and wandered around the innards of the place.

Mokuro's present location was inside one of the safest places that was near the Pope's residence. "Well well, trying to restrain me?" Mokuro was strapped to a chair, chained, and crosses were hung all over the room. "Fine, I get it. If you want me dead. All I can say is, TOO F*CKING BAD!!!"

Mokuro broke free of the chains and straps, and threw the chair around the guards, knocking them down, and exited the room with haste. Later, he found himself in the Colosseum.

"I don't know. It seemed like the right time." Vinessa bluffed, picking at her manicured nails.

[Enrise]

--Um, Twilight, here is something you should read: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-104083.html

Alex calls Chester at the Colisseum. "Uh, Chester? Will you & Vinessa be coming to the Colisseum anytime today?" He asks, unaware to where he is.

[Fen.]

Chester knew she was lying, she was fidgiting too much.

"You know, for a psychic, you suck at lying," He noted with a smile. Ariel just watched the two argue amongst each other, taking both of their existinses in. A small smile crept across her face, but just as Chester glanced back at her, it dissapeared back to her own timid self. It was them when chester answered his phone.

 

"Huh? No, we're visiting a friend today, why?" He asked Alex over the phone.

[Christian Exodia]

"I'm in Italy, with Bliss. I'm trying to find Aly." He told Chester. "And is Vinessa drunk? Because she's not trying to stop you."

[Fen.]

"Just a tad on the tipsy side," Said Chester, glancing at Vinessa, who had just fallen off her seat on the floor. Ariel gave a light chuckle, still in her somber mood, unbelievably.

"But no, she isn't. Hey look I gotta drop you now, we're almost there." Chester said to Alex, the conversation over.

[Enrise]

At the Colosseum, Mokuro notices someone talking to someone on the phone. "Well well, what do we have here." He walked up behind him, and heard the conversation they had. "Well, looks like they wouldn't be able to come help you find that b*tch Alyson Loveless." Mokuro said behind the man with the Cell Phone.

[Christian Exodia]

"WHAT THE HELL?!" He yowls while hanging up. "YES, I AM! And I have her daughter with me, she's Bliss Loveless."

[Enrise]

"Oh yeah, I remember her, she almost killed deer.." Mokuro drifted. "But however, I'm sure she can handle herself, that Bliss. She doesn't need her mother as far as I'm concerned. Quite frankly, after what I saw while I was staying with her, she's quite the harlot from my perspective. She moves from my brother, to Chester, get pregnant from one of her friends, to my brother, to Chester, again, and now nobody. What do you think, current caretaker of Bliss of who's name I have yet to know?"

[Christian Exodia]

"It's Kyle, friend to Chester & Aly, & currently the caretaker to Bliss." He said to him.

OOC: The cable went out. Bye for a bt.

[Enrise]

--Okay. I'll wait till you return. I won't post the response then.

[Christian Exodia]

OOC: It was out for a short time. It's back.

--Just reply to this ok Twi? He means you make short posts sometimes.

[Enrise]

--Yeah, that was pretty much it. Also, Mokuro's drastic measure of blood requirement and pope appearance?

[Fen.]

-- We're in a car, none of us would even know about that yet.

[Enrise]

--Radio?

[El Beasto Perezoso]

Gerrit walked through the dank, dusty, and crumbling halls of the Colosseum. He looked periodically behind him and out the "windows" to make sure no one noticed him or was following him, and he happened to see two men talking down by the stone benches. He could've sworn he recognized them, but no one came to mind, so he continued walking along until he came to the "locker rooms." There was then a hall that led to the fighting area, but he figured that if he went there, he'd be noticed and kicked out before he could hide. So he truned around and climbed out a window back on to the path.

[Silver Lining]

-- Well that's stupid. I should make a protest against long posts. They're boring, and a total waste of time. But w/e; you want a long post, I'll give you a long post.

 

[edit] History

The term role playing was originally coined in the 1920s by Jacob L. Moreno, a Viennese psychiatrist who surmised patients gained more from exploring their problems by acting them out than by talking about them.[3] Moreno first tested out his ideas by forming the Theatre of Spontaneity acting company in 1921 and two years later publishing his theories in a book of the same name.[4] When the practice became popular in business and educational institutions twenty years later the problem solving aspect shifted towards the learning of a professional role for later real life assumption.

 

"What astronauts do in their practice for missions; what pilots do in learning to navigate in flight simulators; what thousands of soldiers do in the course of military exercises--it's all role playing. Teaching salespersons to deal with customers, teaching doctors to interview patients, teaching teachers to deal with difficult situations, all these require some measure of actual practice and feedback."[5]

 

After its inception into the realm of business, role playing has steadily flourished for over fifty years expanding into multiple areas of public and private life.[6]. Formal examples include: teaching (especially in the development of social skills, communication skills, and interpersonal skills), self-help groups, organizational management, leadership training, professional training, scientific research in the social sciences, and even sports. Less formal examples have also arisen including: role playing games for entertainment, and sexual roleplaying practices. Now in the 21st century, role playing as a form of personal entertainment may be overtaking in numbers the more formal practice of educational roleplay.

 

 

[edit] Social science

In social science, roleplaying is historically a reference to Psychodrama and Sociodrama, and more recently to Drama Therapy, which were originally created as a methodology for studying role theory by the social sciences. The study of roleplaying was modeled after theater and includes many counterparts. To roleplay one enacts various motives, attitudes, and postures.[7] The protagonists are the participants who improvise their actions within a situation normally simulated about them. It is their life or abilities, their roles, that are being examined or tested. The auxiliary egos are anyone else who performs to place the protagonists within the situation. The audience is any onlooker who may provide feedback. The stage is wherever the practice is performed or perhaps fictionally set. The director is the expert who guides the exercise.

[edit] Entertainment

Historical re-enactment has been practiced by adults for millennia. The ancient Romans, Han Chinese, and medieval Europeans all enjoyed occasionally organizing events in which everyone pretended to be from an earlier age, and entertainment appears to have been the primary purpose of these activities. Within the 20th century historical reenactment has often been pursued as a hobby.

 

Improvisational theatre dates back to the Commedia dell'Arte tradition of 16th century. Modern improvisational theatre began in the classroom with the "theatre games" of Viola Spolin and Keith Johnstone in the 1950s. Viola Spolin, who was one of the founder the famous comedy troupe Second City, insisted that her exercises were games, and that they involved role-playing as early as 1946. She accurately judged role playing in the theatre as rehearsal and actor training, or the playing of the role of actor versus theatre roles, but many now use her games for fun in their own right.

 

 

[edit] Role-playing games

Main article: Role-playing game

A role-playing game is a game in which the participants assume the roles of characters and collaboratively create stories. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, they may improvise freely; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the games.

 

 

[edit] Sexual roleplaying

Main article: Sexual roleplay

Sexual roleplaying is form of roleplaying in which partners take parts in a drama with a strong sexual theme. These might include a teacher and pupil scenario, or an employer and maid, besides other scenarios. These are common in BDSM and are integral to many pseudonymous or anonymous forms of cybersex.

 

Sexual roleplaying may also be involved in various online games. This is a generally less accepted type of roleplaying in an online community, though opinions about it vary. Social acceptance and attitudes to sexual roleplaying differ within various communities, often dependent on the community's genre or purpose (e.g., adult BDSM and fetish communities not only accept this behaviour but promulgate it as the main activity around which the online community functions). It is also not uncommon for players to form a personal attachment or friendship with the persona assumed by their roleplaying partner.

 

The above mentioned example is generally better accepted in an online environment than roleplaying a character that involves sexual-related content in public or in above mentioned adult-themed roleplaying games.
