Where did they all go..?

████████████████████████████

Why did they all go..?

████████████████████████████

...

████████████████████████████

I don’t like being alone..

████████████████████████████

It had been the best time of my life; we’d all just finished school, meaning we had all of the time in the world to do whatever we wanted! I spent the first two weeks with my crew, playing video games and listening to music. They were all talking about their different dreams. Of course, I told them to go for them.

████████████████████████████

I didn’t realize that meant all of them leaving.

████████████████████████████

Over the third week, my crew had slowly begun to dissipate; with some members saying good bye, and others disappearing suddenly. The only ones that were left included Akuma and Connor, the latter of which I had considered a brother more than just a friend.

████████████████████████████

Akuma had come up to me at the beginning of the fourth week, wearing a skull mask with different colored markings and a black cloak, along with a scythe on a belt under the cloak. She claimed that she had work in different parts of the country, but she’d have to leave town.

████████████████████████████

“I’m sorry I have to leave so quickly, but I’ll write back.” She promised before running out of the little town we all had once called home.

████████████████████████████

After she had left, the town almost looked deserted, with only a few viscera left in the mainly human town, most of which were domesticated. I decided to go see Connor, knowing that I could talk with him and that he’d listen. I really needed to get this all off my chest.

████████████████████████████

I had memorized the route to a small hut-type house that he had owned after it got abandoned; nobody seemed to care about the upkeep of the house, so they just gave up on it and allowed whoever really wanted to take care of it to move in.

████████████████████████████

I opened the straw front door which welcomed me to a surprisingly large room, of which held multiple items one could find in any of the human houses further down the road; a bed, a small couch, which could only fit two viscets at a time, and a small television hooked up to a gaming console. He had the essential foods and water in a mini fridges. He seemed to be working on some kind of vest. I walked in and knocked on the fridge.

████████████████████████████

████████████████████████████

“Knock knock, Connor.” After I spoke he quickly looked in my direction, pausing in his work on the vest.

████████████████████████████

“Hey Liam! What’s up?” He said, a hint of awkwardness masking the grin he gave me. I laid back slightly on the armrest of the couch, closing my eyes.

████████████████████████████

“I just need someone to talk to.” I could hear his footsteps on the straw flooring growing nearer to me before the cushion next to me shifted, telling me Connor had placed himself next to me.

████████████████████████████

“What’s going on?” I could tell there was a genuine concern, despite his monotonous voice showing how many times he had had to ask the question before this time.

████████████████████████████

“Everyone's just.. gone. I know they all had some big dream, but some of them never even told me they were leaving..! They just up and disappeared!... and, Akuma just left, too. She had some kind of work in another part of the country and that she had to leave ASAP..”

████████████████████████████

My tone had changed from despondent, to a mild anger, and back to a despairing tone. I just couldn’t feel any knew way about the situation; yes, I’m happy the others went for their dream, and I’ll be even more happy if they are successful, but I am upset at the fact they all had to leave me and this town behind.

████████████████████████████

I heard Connor inhale through his teeth, making a hissing down with it, making me look up and seeing him rub the back of his neck and trying not to look at me. I could feel the gloom already filling my system. I already knew what he was going to say.

████████████████████████████

“Well, ahm, you see, Liam.. uh… I kinda wanted to head out of here too.. You see, I got an application a while ago to go on a ghost hunt with a few popular hunters, and it’s a good ways away..” I jolted into a sitting position when he said that.

████████████████████████████

I guess I thought right.

████████████████████████████

“What?! You’re leaving too??” I couldn't help but yell. He nodded a bit, his eyebrows furrowing.

████████████████████████████

“Yes. You said to all of us to follow our dreams and that’s what I’m doing. You can’t go back on your word, now.”now it was my turn to narrow my eyes, feeling small tears prick at the edges of them.

████████████████████████████

“But can’t you do it here?! I’m sure someone around here had seen something!”

████████████████████████████

“No, Liam, I can’t. There isn’t enough evidence to say that something is here.” He said, getting off of the couch and gathering his vest and a small backpack.

████████████████████████████

“I’m sorry, but you need to move on. I know that’s a hard concept for you, but you have to understand that nobody can be with you forever.” He said as he walked back over to me, placing a paw on my shoulder.

████████████████████████████

“I’ll come to see you again, but I have to do this. Goodbye, Liam.”

████████████████████████████

With that, his paw left my shoulder and returned to the ground, allowing him to leave the hut, and our little town. Tears rolled down my face as I registered his last statement.

████████████████████████████

Move on..?

████████████████████████████

...

████████████████████████████

Maybe I need a dream of my own.

[Mint Chip]

I've been requested to give an extension from several people,
and I decided to give a Two Day extension.
so this will end on the 1st @ 5pm.
here's a new countdown clock so you guys can keep up with it!

[Mint Chip]

so this was definitely a tough comp and I'm sorry I pushed it so long to judging it; however I have to say I'm overall pretty impressed with everyone's efforts and character development to this point. I had to have some other opinions and help with the judging but we've come to a pretty solid agreement on the winner as well as all the extra given out hms and whatnot.

I'm going to list the forms in order of place leading up to the winner.
.kaede & Yoosung Kim★; both of your forms were very extensive and were overall good. I didn't see as much character development and there were some holes in both of your stories that sort of left me wishing for some extra explanations. However since your forms were still good, still met my requirements and made it to the final round for judging both of you will be receiving an HM (x1 Stubs).

Sweet & Salty & milo.; your forms both stayed very consistent with your original personalities and throughout the progression of this competition grew greatly. I loved seeing both of your ideas and the emotion that both of the stories were full of were just fantastic. There were a few things I would have liked some more explanation to or some small holes but really I was really drawn by much of what was put into these stories and the development overall - not to mention Sweet & Salty's PMV and the gorgeous art that accompanied Milo's form. Both of you did an outstanding job. For these efforts, you both will be receiving an HM (x2 Stubs).

lady lightwing.; your form was surprising. I'll be honest, I wasn't certain how your form would turn out by the end of the competition but the 3rd round's story and the 4th rounds stories were well written, very vivid and gave me incredible imagery. I was completely wow'd by your form in general and I really loved the dynamic between Zeltia and Selene; the sort of sisterly bond between the two was beautiful and I adored what you did with it. I've decided to award you an RU - but not quite like we have in the past - you have the option to select either an RU or x2 Stubs. Your RU will be an Event Rare and can be any one of these select event rares: Doll, Butterfly tufts, Ice Mane, Mermaid Tail, Goop or Mist Mane. I will make the RU as soon as you have selected your one and I have the time. The design will be inspired by the similar concept as this one's design but I will let you inspire the items for it a bit. c:

and at last we are to our winner---

true knight; you kept extremely consistent with the initial personality you gave her and while she is a villain, which makes her hard to love, she was very well portrayed through the entire competition. The deceit and malicious intent, her mannerisms and even just the subtlies of her thought process were well done and thorough. By the third round I was nearly sold that you were the absolute winner but the fourth round you really shown through on. The form gave more depth to her existence and her character, her thoughts and cause for being as she is was seen and gave the first real bit of sympathy I've had for the character. Not to mention how well you can see her wickedness as she fools the poor town's folk and continues to keep them wrapped around her paw. You did an excellent job and earned your win (though I won't lie it was a little tougher a decision when judging this round than some of the previous rounds). Good job, and enjoy your Malloria.

[Vixen Luo]

o h my gosh
i'm so startled by this i'm just ohmygosh

i had to take a moment to calm myself down before typing this up ;uuu; i'm quivering like you can't believe omgomg

thank you so much for this girl; i'm so happy i can't believe i won her
i don't deserve this at all ;uuu; gosh i can't even think of what to say i'm just omg
her character just clicked with me so well that i just couldn't back out even when i couldn't really afford the time to make a form and it's just so amazing to see it paid off
oh my gosh

i want to also congratulate the HMs that were given out, and the amazingly generous RU that was given to lady lightwing! you all had such terrifying forms, honestly, i was expecting a completely different winner to be announced when i saw this. i really really hope you guys use those ideas sometime again, because wow it's just...the creativity i saw here really struck me and i'd hate for such amazing characters to go unused.

of course, she's open to relationships to any and all of you if you're interested!! ;u; and please let me know whether or not i am allowed to use your art!

[tiny little box]

man this was a hard contest.Good job guys,especially you salty,thank you for using connor

[✦ nemuri]

hhh congrats true knight !! To be honest, I really loved the character that you came up with more so than ny own, and although Malloria is evil, I just wanna give her a big hug because of how she became that evil ??? aaaaa

Thank you Mint Chip for the HM and allowing me to compete this far !! I always thought that I would end up being eliminated in the earlier rounds because holy heck I was not aware that competitions in rounds was this long and pressuring-

Congrats to Yoosung Kim, Sweet and Salty, Milo, and Lady Lightwing !! All of your forms were so amazing, and I'm incredibly honoured to have participated in this. <3
