(You do that...)
"Wow. Look! You guys are so little!" Tea said, smiling at the pictures of the three boys as children. Some of the pictures seemed to go back as far as kindergardten. "You guys have been together longer than even Joey and Tristan..."
"Since we were three." Seto told her. That meant best friends for going on 15 years! Tea could barely believe that.
"If you had all these people, why were you and Mokuba in that orphanage?" Tea asked, "Couldn't any one of them have adopted you guys?"
Seto laughed. "My aunt? Adopt us? She hates kids. Never had any of her own. I think she was just jealous of her brother...my dad and his family. But she has like three huge expensive houses and you could always tell every time we went over there, she was afraid we'd break something. She's the one who dumped us off in that place you know..." he added.
"Your own aunt put you in the orphanage?" Tea looked apalled.
"Yep." Seto didn't look nearly as surprised.
"Her brother's kids...her own nephews..." Tea whispered. And Seto nodded.
"What about your grandparents?" Tea asked.
"Would've taken too long." Seto said sadly, "All the papers and then moving us from Domino to Nashville. Even family has to go through the adoption process. And they didn't want to make us leave home."
"Then Mac's parents? Or Andy's?.."
"Would've taken longer." Kaiba said, "We aren't related to them at all."

(Are you about done with your sweet scene, Aly?)
After only a few minutes of sitting outside, Kris stood up and walked back inside. It was to cold and she dind't feel much like being outside either. She walked back through the blimp, past Kaiba's room. She stopped and leaned against a wall, right across from Kaiba's room. She didn't want to bother him so she slid down the wall and leaned her head back, closing her eyes.

Seto smiled, and leaned over her shoulder to point out a picture. "See this one?" he said. Tea looked down. All three boys stood together with rollerblades on. Andy didn't look too happy, but they all looked about 8 or 9.
"That was the day me and Mac taught Andy to skate." Seto explained, "Dad told us to be careful, that it was his first time and to go easy on him or he might break a wrist." Kaiba laughed, "Guess who broke his wrist?" And he pointed to himself.
"Well, that's karma for you..." Tea smiled.
"Andy fell, I tried to catch him, lost my balance, all that..." Seto muttered. "And see this one?" he pointed out another. The three were standing together here, about the same age, all in missmatched baseball uniforms. Seto wore a Cubs hat (GO CHICAGO! XD), Mac a Detroit Tigers, and Andy the Astros.
"We were in little league for about two years." Kaiba said, "We won the 10 year old division championship there...Dad always said baseball was America's passtime and little league was baseball at its finest."
That signed ball that Seto kept in his locker at school suddenly made sense. Babe Ruth was the greatest player of all time, even Tea knew that; and his John Hancock was on the backside of that ball.
(I have a David Cone ball at Dad's.)

(Congrats)
Kris looked up at the sound of footsteps. She smiled slightly when she saw Yugi. "You okay?" he asked.
"Yeah...Just had to walk around for a little bit. I was going to see if Kaiba was okay but Tea got there before I did." Kris explained. She couldn't tell him what was really bothering her. She hadn't told many and Yugi was the last person she wanted to tell. He looked at her for a minute not believing her. "I'm okay, I swear." she said.
"Okay..." he said slowly. He turned back and started walking toward the main room (does that have a name at all?). He stopped and turned back to look at her "you know if something is bothering you, you could always talk to me. Or Tea....Or anyone else."
"Yeah...I know." Kris said. She watched Yugi turn back and walk away. Like she was actually going to do that. The last thing she needed when they were half way through the tournament was pity.

(No. XD)
Tea turned the page and found more pictures of Kaiba and his family. Mokuba was in these, older now. He and Seto were in a lot of them together. They seemed really happy, like they weren't when they were together now. These featured a lot of his mother as well.
"You're mom's really pretty." Tea said.
Kaiba blushed. "Mac used to have a crush on her when we were kids..."
"You miss them don't you?" Tea asked.
"Every day..." Seto whispered.
Tea could see how sad he was. She could relate to a lost parent. Maybe he'd feel better to know that.
"See this?" Tea held her arm out and showed Kaiba a gold bracelett around her wrist. It had four little charms on it, each different. "My dad got me this. He died four years ago. I put a new charm on for every year he's gone."
Seto stared at the bracelett awhile and then looked Tea in the eye. "It's not enough though...is it?" he asked.
Tea looked down at her bracelett. He was right.
"You know what hurts the most?" Seto asked. Tea looked up at him. "When the memories start to fade..." he said. Tea felt tears in her eyes.
"Like, I remember when I was real little, my mom would sing me to sleep at night..." Seto muttered, "And I remember every song, every - word...but I can't hear her singing..." He turned away from the photo album then, and stared off. "And I remember...they used to swing me between them, you know like those kids you see at grocery stores and stuff, but I can't feel them. I don't remember how my dad's hands felt, or- or how smooth or thin my mom's fingers were, I can't - remember - them...and it hurts to forget...it hurts worse with every piece I lose..." His eyes filled up with tears.
Tea's heart broke for Kaiba then.

(Shit you trying to make me sad over here? Oh and just because I need something to fit the mood for this, I'm adding a few lines to a song every once in a while.)
As she sat there waiting for something or somebody to come out, Kris thumbed through her deck. It kept her mind off everything else. For a while at least. She stopped on one of the cards. Black Luster Solider. She remembered getting it. Her step-dad gave it to her on her birthday. It finished off her deck. Or at least the deck she started making back at the orphanage. She stopped on the card, trying to hold back years.
When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
She dropped her cards on the floor and buried her head in her hands. It wasn't fair! Why out of everyone else was she the only one who had no memory whatsoever of her real parents? Why was it she felt alone. Even after admitting to the selective few that she was adopted she felt alone. She knew Kaiba went through the same thing, but he had at least a few memories of his parents. Having little memories was better then none at all.
And I let it all out to find that I'm
Not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Nothing to lose
Just stuck hollow and alone
It just didn't seem right to her. It wasn't fair! Nothing was fair anymore. What had her real parents been like? Surely, they were better then her step-dad, they had to be. anyone was better then him. But that didn't help answer her question. Where were her parents? Did they remember her? Did the regret it...Regret putting her up for adoption? Did they ever wonder what would have happened if they hadn't put her up for adoption? Did they even care?
(Okay....I'm done now. lol)

(Seeing as how Alisson (Aly) kind of gave up on this rp you could start your own.)

(Assuming that means I have to start it I'll try.. I'm not very good with enterances... Andwhat not... I'm just going to have him on the blimp already and if you don't like that then I can always delete it ^_^)
Walking down the corridors, the tan Egyptian man, Malik, walked with his hands half into his hip pockets. A small smirk lay plastered onto the fellows face as his violet eyes glanced from each door number till he found his own room and went past it. All he needed to know was where it was for when he'd go there to retire for the night. The platanum blonde continued down the halls to see where everyone else was and how his plan would all go, and to play his role as Namu. He'd have to play nice, easy enough and worth it all if he could gain the power he desired...
(I hope that is okay)

(What I mean is you can start a new rp but it has to be in a new thread. So just pick a place for the rp to take place and find it on the boards and then click it and then at the top right of that board should be three buttons the middle saying 'New Thread' click that and come up with a title for your rp and then type up a intro. Make sense? But just for the record that's a really good intro.)

(I'm not being mean I'm just saying the likliness (yes I know that's not spelt right) of Aly replying to this one is not likley (especially if she has writer's block) so it would be pretty hard to do a rp without Aly because this one was her idea.)

(It's quite alright... It's not mean at all. I just am a little slow... Well, very slow really. And thank you... Most of my introductions are terrible... *sigh* Sorry, I'm just a wee bit depressed now but I'll fix that ^_^ Now to figure out how to work these infernal sites...)

(The intro you posted didn't suck at all. In fact it was very good. Like I've said before, if you need any help feel free to PM me. To PM someone just click their name and you'll see their profile, then all you have to do is click 'Send Personal Message' and then type in the message and click send.)
