"Hello! I'm Amatsumori and this is my house. Kinda cold, huh? Oh well. I'm used to it. I stumbled on this patch of never melting ice in the forest and chose to hollow it out for me to live in. It's rather spacious if I do say so myself. It's kinda wierd how the ice never melts but slowly grows larger as time passes on (supernatural, right?). Well welcome and enjoy yourself!A guide for where I am: Online==============here in the village Off in my own world=====online but elsewhere/distracted Offline==============Not here in any way shape form or other # of guild posts (mostly so I can remember): 254 Rules for posting in this topic: -Don't use numbers in place of words; i.e. don't use 4 instead of for or 2 instead of to, two, or too. Please spell them out. -Make complete sentences and don't use chat speak; i.e.: WRONG: Itt same cuz tey alik. RIGHT: It's the same because they are alike. -Please use punctuation and capitalize all the words that are supposed to be; i.e. remember that the comma is your friend and that the pronoun "I" is supposed to be capitalized every time. -Please attempt to spell every word as accurately as possible. One of the best things to do is open a Microsoft Word document and use the spell check feature. I'm not asking for perfection just something better than laziness. ((The reason for these rules stems mostly from being a writer. I like to see people using correct grammar and spelling as I prefer to use correct grammar and spelling myself. I don't ask for perfection, but I would hope for more than ignorance.))

"How about a tour? Well here it is. The house is square with an open center for outdoor fun. As you walk into my house, you enter the living room, furnished with a soft couch and many nice comfortable chairs. On the left of the living room is the bar with ice stools. Heading out of the living room and down the hall on the right, there is a spare bedroom which I've furnished if I ever have company. At the end of the hall is the master bedroom where I usually sleep. No the bed is not made of ice but the rest of the house is. Taking a left we come to a few spare rooms which are on the back side of the house that I haven't decided what to do with yet. And lastly on the left side of the house there is a large gym that I use for training."
((School has begun anew though I will continue being on as often as possible. My schedule this year is rather cumbersome and time consuming so I won't be on as often as I'd like. My work load is gigantic which has prevented me from getting on that much. I have very little spare time in between homework and school.))

In the center of the house, there is a garden where I take care of many different species of plants. Some are herbs, some are trees, and some are just pretty so I liked them. It's become one of my hobbies as I like the tranquility in the garden. I created a walkway to the middle of the garden where there is a medium-sized circular viewing point, so you can see the garden from the inside, or you can go and just be in the peace of the garden. It's very nice.
((An update on why I haven't been on lately: I'm completely overloaded with homework. Even on the weekends, I end up with mounds upon mounds of homework. The endless cycle of homework completion and new homework seems never ending. I haven't even had a day with no homework yet. I currently have 4 english papers due this week. I also have around 7 tests spread through the upcoming week as well as a massively large amount of homework other than studying to do. As a further note, I have a large competition coming up in two weeks and I'm still practicing as much as I can for it. Again, sorry I can't be on as often as I'd like to...))

"The house does have its quirks. I often wonder how it can keep producing ice even in the heat of the forest outside, especially since the ice never melts. Another thing that makes me wonder is the slight hum that comes occasionally from behind the house. I think I'll go and investigate both of them. It can't hurt and it'll give me something extra to do.
"Well I now declare my house officially open! Come in if you want!"

*arriving in through the front door, Amatsumori yawns before letting his hand drop to his side*
"I'm kinda tired. I think I'll go meditate in the garden. That should help me wake up a little."

*Having heard a sound, Amatsumori opens his eyes, disturbing his meditation, and listens intently to find the source of the noise.*
"Was that a hum I heard just now? I think it's coming from the back of the house."

*Jumping out of his meditative stance and running toward the back of the house, Amatsumori approaches the final turn but slows down as he sees a pulsating blue glow ahead.*
"It's coming from under the ground," he says peering around the final icy corner of his house, "but what's causing it?"

*As Amatsumori nears the point of the glow's origin, it abruptly stops leaving him in the darkness of the forest. Using his hands as well as his blades to push through the ground, Amatsumori manages to unearth 2 small hexagonal prism shaped crystals. In the middle of the crystals are marble sized blue spheres filled with an unknown liquid surrounded by clear, smooth crystal.
"Wow, I wonder what exactly this is," he said moving his head closer in order to get a better view. "It's cold. Very cold. Burning my hand cold!"
*Dropping the crystal he looked at his hands only to find them half frozen in ice.*

*Realizing the importance of this discovery, Amatsumori runs back into the house and grabs a cloth to wrap the crystals in. Without stopping to reconsider, he heads out in the direction of Kage-sama's house in order to report the finidings.*

*Amatsumori returns after delivering his notes and the crystals that accompanied them. Realizing how tired he is, Amatsumori decides to head to his master bedroom and lay down in the cool comforts of his room, slowly drifting to sleep.*

*Stirring form his slumber, Amatsumori rubs his eyes before opening them slowly and gazing upon the icy interior of his house.*
"How long have I been asleep!?!?!" he gasped.

*Jumping out of bed and quickly getting dressed, Amatsumori leans over toward the calender on his wall.*
"Two days! That must be a new personal record!"

*He runs down the hall, grabbing a training outfit and a water pale as he goes, and heads toward the garden.*
"I haven't watered my plants in 2 days! OH, this is bad," he exclamed with the short bursts of breath that came as he ran.

*The plants in the garden appeared unneffected by the lack of water which was a relief to Amatsumori as he proceeded to give an adaquate drenching to each plant in turn. After finishing the watering, Amatsumori changed into his training outfit and walked onto the circular stone area in the middle of his garden. He began to slowly move his body into several difficult positions at a slow rate and gracefully change between each movement. This would go on for a long time.*

"Ah, that was some great exercise," Amatsumori exclaimed. "I think that'll be it for now. I'll just sit here and meditate for a while."
*With that he sat on the smooth stones and began to breath steadily in and out until the sound of his breathing could not be heard above the sounds of the cool, refreshing, constant breeze.*
