[spoiler]Listened to this song again earlier, and I realized it kind of directly relates to our story here if you pay attention to the lyrics. Both plot, and the dojo on general. See if you can get what I meant.[/spoiler] *as BC opens the note* [i]If you're reading this, I'm probably already dead. I went to face BC and June, and I knew I was gonna die. It may sound hypocritical at first, but just listen for a moment. I died to make sure my friends and family wouldn't be set on this path of hate. Path of despair. The path of war. I became the martyr in order to show everyone what we've become... And what we've lost touch with. Hopefully in my death, you all find solace in the new light I have tried to shine upon the dojo. I don't want you blaming anyone for my death... We all knew something should've been done. I was merely the one who came forth first. Do not blame BC for taking my life... It was a mercy if anything. I was to be the crucible of pain, made of sin and wrongs, which turned the fire of despair, hate, and war into something beautiful. Whatever you do with that beautiful thing is up to you. To Dinorush, Alondite, and Zane, I leave my Starbucks. The first two can take care of weapons if they'd like, but the actual shop is all of yours for now. Keep in mind, Blackwolf is a friend of mine. Service her freely if she ever comes back. You can continue the weekly specials if you'd like, but I encourage you to just sell arms at your leisure. To Zane, I leave the Ronin Trench coat. Fitted with some protective gear and magnetic locks for holding up to four weapons, this black coat has seen my through hell and back. Take it in memory of the hardships, and to the future we have worked so hard to create. To BadCompany, I leave Markmaker. Heavy, six shot black revolver with two barrels for firing at the same time. Ammunition is fitted with armour piercing enhancements, and is so high caliber that you must reload in a turn where you can't fire as well. To the other Peacekeepers/Lieutenants including Zane, I leave "Peacekeeper's Fire", a special ability that, when activated, will stop all your powers for 4 turns in total, gifting you my powers for a short time. This can only be used once a week. To Felix, I leave the Incineration Kiln. This lightly armoured shirt allows the ability to radiate a wave of fire from the user, not damaging him/her at all. It can be charged with all types of fire, including your dragon's. To Digital Ninja, I leave Razorflame, my katana. It is the only weapon in dojo history able to become a conduit for blue fire. Any slash or wound inflicted by this will sprout blue flames and make a small detonation. To the rest of you, those who I have not dedicated to specifically and all the dojo... I leave you one thing. My legacy. If you truly know me, consider yourself a true friend of mine and remember my teachings and morals. Whether you know what I would have wanted depends on how well you know me. I do not ask for a memorial. The only funeral and grieving I ask for, is honouring myself and those who have departed by taking up the old ways and nurturing it. By the clashing of warriors and the sacred duels, you remember me. I know not of what I leave behind... Nor do I know what my martyrdom will create. But I guess that all depends on you, my brothers and sisters. My family.[/i] [spoiler]Alright, time to get real here. First of all, you are all amazing people. Some of you make me frustrated, stressed, annoyed. But regardless, you also make me laugh, happy, and overall joyful. The reason I'm leaving is not only for RP purposes and martyrdom, but to take a break and get back to living my life. I have a friend who needs me right now, a family that wants support, and I'm leaving for Virginia in a couple of days. I don't want any of you leaving because myself or anyone else that's left or leaving for that matter. I want you to do what you want. So, I guess this is goodbye for now. I don't know when I'll be back, soon or much much farther into the future. Or, if I'll be back at all. But wherever the dojo goes after this, I want you all to know one last thing: Thank you all.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Edit: If any of you wish to stay in touch with me outside of here, ask around for my kik, 360 GT (C0BALT PH0ENIX), and other stuff. Some people here already have it.[/spoiler]
