Among this newly constructed area, many people are bustling about. Women are hanging laundry, men are chopping wood, and children are playing. It's sort of... peaceful. Until IT happens. The one happening that will change a child's and 2 men's lives forever. If ye are faint of heart, don't read this. It's sad. A small child is just learning to walk. His parents and older brother are so proud. While laughing, an iminent doom awaits the small one. A sheikah is perched in the tree. The glint of metal is seen.

Behind the people, there is a warrior. He has a black longbow with blue runes on it. The sheikah attacks. He throws the suriken, but the man whips an arrow into the bow, and fires it at the shuriken. The shuriken is hit, then veers off course. It hits the small boy in the side of the head. He screams, then falls to the ground, blood pouring out of the wound.

"No! Luke! No!" The family screams, not at the same time, and sorta different per person. The sheikah jumps out of the tree, and darts away. The ranger is horrified.

"Oh, no! I... have... killed a... child!" he screams. The family is mourning the loss of Luke.

"Do not worry. It was not your fault. You were protecting your life, and you didn't know this would happen." the mother says.

"You do not understand. I was once an Umbrili, and so, I killed many people. But this... I have never killed... a child. I promise you, I will avenge his death!" and with that, the ranger walks away.

"My brother... that monster! He meant to kill him!" said the brother.

"Do not say that! You have no evidence!" says the father.

"He said he was an Umbrili!"

"He was once an Umbrili. But not anymore," says the mother.

"I don't care! I will find him and kill him!" says the brother. He runs away, chasing the ranger.

"No! Now we have lost both our sons in one fell action!" screams the mother. All this screaming caused a lot of commotion. But they didn't care. The family went in their house.

Now, with that story done: There is 10 houses still vacant, so if you want one, come to the agency.

A small mud brick house sits on one of the open lots. Painted gaily in purples greens and blue upon the shutters doors and frames, leaving the walls their earthy ruddy color. Stones poke out of the manicured lawn making a path from the short fence to the front door, above which is painted Three Blessings to All. The lawn is doted by three peach trees, at the base of which grow red yellow, and orange flowers. A gazebo sits on a small grassy knoll with a swinging bench and a small herb garden that grows in its trestles.

A plain house stands alone, its lawn long since dried and dead. Inside, the ceiling in between the first and second floors has been removed. A staircase would have once led to the next floor, but it is gone. the single level has been renovated so that it is but one large room. In the center, a box rests on a pedestal. There is no basement. If Blank had meant this building to be a real home, he would have kept better care of it, but as it was...

Day 1

Blank enters the new house and sits at a small desk, filling paperwork out. When he is finished, he finds a pedestal stored away in a closet, and sets it up in the center of the house that he has renovated. From inside his jerkin, he extracts a mysterious box and sets it on the pedestal.

Exiting the house, Blank chains and padlocks the door and boards up the windows. Sighing, he turns and walks out of the Residental Area toward the tavern.

Hiro, just walking by, notices Blank's house.
Wow, what a contrast from the Lovers' house! Maybe he's home.
Hiro walks up to the door. Looking at the padlock and windows, he wonders vaguely about their purpose. He knocks. After waiting, Hiro leaves for lack of answer.

OOC: You said you werent home. Also, I recently bought a SharkBoard. The keyboard to gamecube. But it dont work with my Action Replay. Any suggestions?

Day 1

Cloud and Strato came to their new home. It was bland, white. Boring. But what more could you expect from a residential area?

This place needs some sprucing up, dont you think Strato?

Yes, it does.

So, Cloud and Strato went to work. Cloud built another room for Strato. Strato painted the house red. Cloud used his magic to create furniture. He made a case for his weapons, couches, beds, tables, a pedestal that held his Shard.

I still think something is missing...I know!

Strato brang a training dummy into his room.

Perfect.

Er...Strato, do you know how to cook?

No...do you?

No...

Were going to die!

No! There is a simple solution to this. Strato, go get a girlfriend!

Strato had no time to argue before Cloud pushed him out the door.

Day 2

Strato had come back in the house without a girlfriend. Oh well. Cloud had used magic to make a closet filled with food and drinks. They weren't going to die anytime soon. Strato went and trained on the dummy, which Cloud had magicaly made to fight back.

I really think there is something missing!

What could possibly be missing?

Cloud cast a spell and a second floor appeared. In it was a bathroom (cant believe i forgot this) another room and a game room. He also made a basement that was huge. He turned it into a dungeon that people could go through.

I'm going to bed, Strato! Dont burn down the house!
