The story as done by the Mods:
User Image


As you step out of the portal, your eyes slowly adjust to blinding light of the sun. Despite the sun, it wasn't very hot at all. Instead, it was cool and breezy. You take a deep breath and let the salty sea air fill your nostrils. In a distance you saw what looks like a little fishing village. It looks abandoned except for the tents and stalls that were set up along its dirt streets.

"Looks like fun", you said to yourself."But....what is this place?"

As if like magic, your question was immediately answered by amour clad warrior. "Kyoshin..." He whispered through his helmet and pointed towards the village.

User Image

Instinctively your head tilted to the direction he was pointing. But when you turned back. The warrior was gone.

A little creeped out, you simply shrugged it off and continued towards the village.

Just before stepping into the village, you came upon a statue of a warrior dress in full battle armor riding on a similarly armored wolf. It stood at a massive 10 feet tall including the pedestal that held it. Taking a closer look at the pedestal you notice writing on it.


User Image

Hayato Nakamura
Warrior, Guardian, Lord of Kyoshin
May his spirit live forever


Somehow the warrior riding the wolf seemed very familiar, but its not possible. Judging from the text, the lordship has been dead for several decades. Could the warrior you saw earlier be his ghost? Ghosts don't exist. Or do they?

Ignoring the fact that you may have had an encounter with the paranormal... you marvel at fine craftsmanship of the statue. Surely such a fine piece of work must cost a fortune. As you crane you neck to see the top of the statue, your eyes caught the sight of an enormous Castle in the distance. Hastily you rush towards it leaving the statue behind. The castle loomed before you as it grew larger with every step. Eagerly you ran up the step towards its large iron doors... only to be stopped by an elderly guard.

No one enters the Lordships castle....


He then pointed to worn sign post written in several different languages.

The Code of Do

+ Do follow the act of Goodness, by abiding the ToS, wavering from this path will result in bad karma.
+ Do not repeat oneself unless needed to, Quote only if needed. Quote towers will be dealt with swift Justice.
+ Do not elongate ones speech, page stretching ruins order and Order is something we all strive to achieve.
+ Do not fill ones mouth with nonsense, Spamming will only result in lowering ones mental state.
+ Do Respect ones Elders, the Host and Co-hosts are here to make sure everything go smoothly.
+ Do love others as you love yourself, just don't be mean! Keep it clean and be nice to others.

As you read the last of the commandments, you spot a hand written entry at the bottom.

"If anything else happens, Yoshi has the final say"

"Who's
Yoshi?" you asked. The elderly guard coughed as you finished your question.

User Image


You were about to ask Yoshi why the sign and everything else is written in several languages when a bespectacled young man approached you.

User Image

I give you special price, Thirty-five fifty!


"Ah, a new arrival. Where are you from?" He asked, checking out your strange and unfamiliar attire. You started to stutter as you were unsure what to tell him. But before you were given a chance to do so, the young man dragged you along. Leaving the elderly guard to his lonesome.

"No matter, Kyoshin home to many many people. From many many places. I from China, come to Kyoshin to set up Buddhist Shrine. Come Come we go to Shrine, I tell you more about Kyoshin."


User Image


Once there, the man shoved a thick book in your face. "Here! Write in book first, new arrivals have to write in it. Everyone does!" He said cheerfully.

"Okay..." you said as you gingerly flipped through the pages.

Hi everyone! I'm TsukiRisa but you guys can call me Tsuki. I've been on Gaia for almost a year now. (My Gaiaversary is in a few days.) I'm honored to be able to host this room this year. Especially since I'm extremely proud to be Asian. I'm Chinese by race but I'm currently living in the Philippines. (Don't try to speak to me in Tagalog. I'm a nub at the language. I can speak fluent mandarin though. So if you wanna practice your Mandarin, feel free to drop me a PM.) I hope you guys enjoy the ball and win prizes from the contests. :3

Greetings to you. I am Lakshmi. My parents hail from India and China, yet I was born here. How the world works sometimes astound me, hence I scribe them on an immortal paper the human skin itself. It may be morbid to some but tattoos serve as eternal reminders. My twin sister thinks it odd hence she draws on paper.

Hi hi, I'm Li Min. I like to draw and paint. My twin sister's quite a painter herself but she prefers bodies as her canvas. My dad's from China and my mum's from India. Me? I'm born in Japan....so I guess that makes a Chinedianpanese? xD



You gasped as you noticed that most of the people weren't really Japanese. Could it be? Multi-Racial Asian Community! Astounding!

Excitedly you wrote down your name and country of origin. Breathing heavily you continued flipping through the pages, eagar to find out more about the village's history.

"Err....You don't look so good" The monk said as tugged you away from the book. "CHANG!" you shouted suddenly, throwing the monk off his feet.
"Aiya...that my name! How you know?" he said as he got back to his feet.

You pointed to the book and smiled. Chang the monk frowned and pulled you away from the book and threw you out of the Shrine and onto the beach.

The sweet ocean breeze greeted you as you stepped on the warm sand. Some how you feel that much is going to happen here.

-There is something weird going on at the tea shop.... pots and pans have been flying off the shelves. Boxes of tea have gone missing. Furniture have been re arranged and nobody's even touched them. Even worse, the Swami has been acting more usual that ever! Mistress Akiko suspects that this is the work spirits in the tea shop's attic. She'd gladly ask somebody else to do it but Yoshi won't budge from his spot at the castle, Digito keeps saying that the probability of a ghost attack is highly unlikely so he's gone off to a safe location to calculate...wait he's not hiding isn't he? Yu...he's busy sleeping with the fishes. Oh no he's not dead, he just likes to sleep next to the fish pond. Now with all the men.... Swami? You wanna that whack job? Oh no please... As I was saying, with all the men pre-occupied...its up to the women of Kyoshin! Solve the Tea shop mystery and save Kyoshin! Men can join too, if you're not pre-occupied or chicken...

Story that developed over the course of the thread.
At first, it was uneventful. A poor blind ninja was tripped, and caused some problem for the inhabitants of Kyoshin, but it was quickly resolved. Although...someone took it to far and tried to pin the tail on the blind ninja...

The fish game turned out to be a popular sport and drew a large crowd. Unfortunately, the fish ran out rather quickly...
