Final Round Teaser by ~Chamfruit

RoA- Memory End The monsters had taken their toll on the racers. Hawthorn's tattered cast had slipped off and much to his horror; he discovered his leg no longer straightened properly. To make matters worse, his entire body was covered in burns and bites from the monsters, and his right eye was already swelling and turning a nasty shade of purple.

Echo had fared better, but the monster attack had done little to quell her fears. Her ears twitched anticipating the next painful tremor.

"Thanks echo…" Hawthorn said. Echo solemnly smiled.
"Thanks… not Ymp." She replied. Hawthorn smirked.
"It's Hawthorn."

Silence followed. The two had little RoA- Memory End by ~Ramvling

RoA Rd4 -4-Regression
Ursion

It had been nine hours since the round started, and yet the checkpoint's staff kept coming back and forth. Nonetheless, it wasn't due to the round developments: it was simply due to the transporting of supplies from that checkpoint to the next one.

And yet, despite the quiet, almost routine-like rhythm of the workers she passed by, something in Blue's mind bothered her. Chi had agreed to stay in the Race in the end, but she still didn't know where it was going. What's more, according to the live broadcasts of the Race being displayed on every monitor she came across, the former had gotten close enough to Ursion that the dRoA Rd4 -4- by ~DarkTail67

"She is very near to snapping."

"How can you tell?"

"She is not a hands on person. The guards could've stopped you more efficiently than acting personally, and she has rigged this round herself, somehow. She is no longer trusting those around her."

She paused, and they both listened for footsteps; the only sounds came from the sympathetic guard on duty just outside the door of the disused meeting room. She pressed on with haste regardless, disliking the risk.

It was an extremely odd feeling, like that moment at the top of a curve where gravity doesn't have a firm hold and there's no up, or down, or even side to side- just the wind if it's blowing and your own heart pounding in your ears. Only this didn't last the span of a breath. The air was stale and dusty, smelling less of life than very old, cold metal to her nose; floating there, eyes wide, Echo knew this ought to mean something significant. Knew that the panel lined hallway, with its overhead (or baseboard?) tubes and dim, malfunctioning lights set into each wall, held some special meaning despite its age. It was a guide- and her onlRoA r. 4 p. 9 by ~dragonrider292

Up!

Stair by stair, cramped awkwardly with her wings tucked as close as possible but still brushing both walls, Echo hurried towards whatever lay ahead- then stopped, stymied, at another door. Hearing steps, she grappled with the knob, pawing and biting at it, but the steel gave no purchase and there was no room to ram it. No room to turn either, she realized with renewed panic, and tried craning her head around to see who it was coming up from behind, lashing her tail protectively.

"Who… Who's there!?"

"Just relax, all right? I've 'got you' now."

She didn't like the sound of that, not one bit, and nearly jumped out of her scRoA r. 3 p. 5 by ~dragonrider292

The very first thing they noticed, upon landing in their surroundings, was the pure darkness of the location. Next was sound, or rather, the lack thereof save for the occasional drip-drip of moisture somewhere. Each breath seemed far too loud and oppressive as it echoed back- were they near a wall, or underground?

"The hell are we?" Xandra, for one, didn't have the patience for this nonsense. Pawsteps were heard as she paced forwards, feeling her way, followed by an angry hiss as she hit the wall and demanded light right-this-blasted-minute.

Audition For RoA Epilogue WIPMaylee...I hope you know what you are doing..."

Maylee's eyes shot open with ears straight and open for attention just as that voice whispered inside her head. She rose her head, looking down lazily. It's been about two days since she has traveled for the Race of Aleria. She stood upon her two hind legs, ruffling her fur. She gave a quick sigh as she hopped on over to the location of the capitol. "Why does the capitol have to be so far away??!!" she finally screamed. From her short temper, she immediately stopped to vent her feelings. Being as a regular kangaroo, she strangely growled. It was then she quickly remembered; her jewelry! She wouAudition For RoA Epilogue WIP by ~Spakitty

RoA Round 3 - epilogueAs the bright blue light faded from her vision, Tyger stumbled forward blindly. The room she teleported into was pitch black, with only a sliver of light coming from the opposite side. The room was large, and seemed empty, although it was so dark there was no way to know for sure. Ty frantically looked around for any sign of life, and after a couple seconds of panic, her eyes settle on the faint, almost snakelike silhouette standing in front of the sliver of light.
Ty stopped trying to move forward, realizing she was too woozy to properly walk. Now that she knew Syra was going to be okay, though, she found that she didn’t really want to go anywhere; she just wanted to sleep. The last few hours had been very tiring, and even though it was probably still early in the day, sleep sounded wonderful to her. From the corner of her eye, she noticed the necklace was glowing green again. She absently wondered when it had changed, but before she could think too much on the subject, NahRoA Round 3 - epilogue by ~Tigersaurusrex

RoA Epilogue 1

Her voice sounds like laughter to him. Like a child's blissful, uninhibited joy. Even when he knows there's nothing to laugh about here, he can't help but feel reassured. He wishes she would open her eyes, tell him it's all going to be okay now, that he doesn't have to worry about anything.

She won't, though.

Her body is wired in to a dozen different machines, all chirping out steady analyses on her vital signs. They tell him that she'll live, but the bandages whisper that it won't be quite the same from now on.

He wants her reassurance, but he knows it's best to let her sleep. He won't make her suffer just so he can feel better.

Recipe for Disaster "Señorita! Señorita Riley!"

The numbat flicked her ears to show she had heard, and set the last of the plates from lunch on the drying rack. Pulling out a rag to dry her hands, she turned to the small platypus bat who had been calling to her. He was tapping a webbed foot impatiently, and the numbat smiled apologetically.

"Telefono," he said shortly, knowing that Riley wouldn't understand Spanish but that she could probably guess at the simple cognate.

"Ah, thank- erm, gracias Carlos." She answered. She pushed the seldom used button on her ipod to turn it off and took out her ear bud. Following the platypus bat to a small unusRecipe for Disaster by ~Shinkoryu14

HELLO AM I LATE FOR ANYTHING? Yeah year late replies ftw.

It's an awful shame this OCT dissolved like this. Of course I'm not blame free either, I kinda got buried in school and couldn't keep up :\

Regardless, it was truly a pleasure getting to meet and compete with such creative people and great characters. Some fabulous stories were created ; like I've mentioned to a coupl already and it's just unfortunate it all ended on such a sour note. All the best for the futures peeps.

~ReverendAspen Jan 27, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Well, I suppose it’s clear by now that we’ve been abandoned. Cham, Noncat, and Snow have all vanished, round five remains with no entries, and everyone who had prizes promised to them got the bone.

I can’t draw, nor do I have that much money or points, but I’m willing to take it upon myself to make things right. To the people who made it to round five, I will give you each 100 points. As for the round four folks, I am willing to give 50 points to you guys.

But I don’t want it to stop at myself, heavens no. I want everyone who still gives a good goddamn about the “winners” and gave one about this disaster of a tournament to help out as well. Draw those people pictures, give them points, or hell, give them premiums. I don’t care what random act of kindness you do for the people who deserve it; I just want to see it happen. And I’m sure they would, too.

But I want something from the RoA judges as well: effort. I and many others want you three to give a damn about the people you’ve passed judgment on. We want to be rewarded for making at as far as we did and enduring so much. Most of all, we want you to come out of the shadows and address this issue. Face the elephant in the room and come forward with something more valuable than some prizes: an apology.

YOU. Abandoned. US. Let’s make that crystal clear.

This is my effort to reconcile, and I hope you all will help. Because Lord knows that the judges won’t.

~Tigersaurusrex Feb 8, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I applaud you, Aspen. I'd be happy to offer up drawing to those who made it to round 4 and 5. It might take a little while but it's the least I can do. I loved this OCT and all it's characters and stories, and I am terribly saddened by the way it ended. Thank you for your words and your actions, and I hope the judges respond although I doubt they'll be returning to this barren wasteland of a page.

~ReverendAspen Feb 10, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you. ^^ I'm sure the winners would appreciate whatever they get. And I understand that you're busy with LaF and such, so there's no hurry or anything.

We can only hope, but doubt springs eternal on this waste of server space.

~ReverendAspen Oct 5, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I just have a question.
Why won't you answer Monkey's question?

Granted, I have no right to complain (seeing as I'm no longer part of the group), but it's not fair to offer prizes and never give them out.

~Ramvling Jul 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Excuse me, I'm just wondering when I can be expecting my prizes?

"-1 Month Subscription from ~SnowTheWolf

I know I didn't exactly leave the OCT on good terms, but ah... its a little misleading to promise prizes and not deliver.
