[urrrg finally, FINALLY, I have updated the Current Events section ^^ Sheesh it took over half an hour just to get everything straight DX I better not procrastinate with that anymore. And if ya'll have any corrections for the Current Events section, don't be afraid to tell me!!!]
[As for closing the thread and starting a new one...I don't know if I would want to resort to that just yet. ^^ I do apologize for my weird week-long monthly absences, but like superirl said, I have no-electronics week with my family the first week of every month

It's just that we've come so far with this thread, and I would hate for it to be deleted, especially since this is the longest-running RP I have]
[...which reminds me: Happy Belated 1-Year-Anniversary, Under the Sea RP!]
[...time to reply to Luna...I'm just going to get this part over with, painful as it may be ^^: (you can decide if you want Luna to get captured or not, I'll leave it to you, Steampunk)]

Slade smiled, "Of course." He waved a farewell to the sea creature, then led Luna deeper into the waters. Finally, they reached the spot. The place where he'd set it up. His scarlet eyes narrowed and a slight grin passed over his features, like a cloud passing over the sun briefly. "Stay right there," he said, indicating that she tread water to stay where she was while he swam a ways away to find the trigger. Finally he found it...the one he'd set last night. "Excellent..." he paused only briefly before tugging on the course rope...and a net starting to drop right over Luna's head. At the last second, Slade's eyes morphed into a baby blue, and he frowned, staring blankly at the rope he'd just pulled. "What am I...doing?" he murmured inaudibly. His heart was aching for some reason...

Midge's eyes lit up when Nichole explained the technology. "That's nifty!" she remarked, then frowned when she came across the part about Rose. "Aww...are they gonna be alright?" she gestured behind her at the room they were now leaving. "I mean, all of them?" she could simply sense an air of uneasiness, anxiety and confusion emanating from that room, and a part of her wanted to know if they were going to be fine in the end. It almost made her wing hurt a little less, thinking about the pain they might be going through.

Gene gave a withering look before he recomposed himself quickly, as though he'd momentarily let his guard down, "No, no, don't apologize. None of this is your fault," he assured, casting a downward glance and then looking back up at her. Her eyes were just the same as before...and if he stared into them long enough, he could almost make himself believe he was talking to the same Rose he'd met a few days ago.
This...this is insane. He quickly tore his gaze from her when he realized that he was staring, not wanting to look like some creepy stalker-boy. "I...work as an intern here," he muttered futilely, gesturing around the room.
