- Lilin Soulstorm - 12-06-2011 [html] private for zero-babe. post takes place somewhere between halifax airport and halifax. couldn't find a suitable town further north that was unclaimed. :x so I made one up. Word Count → 604 It was that time of day again, when luminosity made way for dusk in a unique, once-a-day only, display of pastel colors strewn across the darkening sky. Dreamers were raising their noses towards the light show, losing themselves in its splendour. Meanwhile, a sense of concern washed over the dual-toned female who, instead of enjoying what nature had to offer, found herself racing against the clock to find yet another refuge to spend the night. She had not failed to notice how heavily established the surrounding packs were. Scents lingered, a hushed menace outlining danger zones. It made life easier, knowing where she could and could not go. In a way, the Soulstorm daughter was thankful for that. It was a form of guidance in a world unfamiliar to her. But it also made it harder to find a secure place to call home. Her primary goal was to avoid civilization. Personal experiences of the past had made her wary of communal life and distrustful of others in general, particularly males. Her first encounter in the New World hadn’t gone awry but the red-eyed hybrid had brought forth carnal feelings and memories of a past life. She’d felt someone else’s presence while interacting with Itachi: a caress on the back of her neck, frigid and unearthly in nature. The madness was spreading. It was spewing forth, escaping the confines of her soul. Lillith Stormbringer had heard voices and overtime, she had lost her grasp on reality because of them. Was this the legacy she’d left her child? A life overrun by doctrinal beliefs and fake Gods? Caribbean blue orbs stared ahead, offering nothing but a blank face to the outer world. Her surroundings were quiet and composed, similar to the lifeless expression plastered to her visage. Danger wasn’t out there. Au contraire, it was concealed inside of her; waiting for the right moment to break free and wreak havoc upon the world. The urban area she’d stumbled upon was surprisingly little in size but more than likely connected to the concrete pillars in the distance. They seemed to be linked by the paved roads that adorned the ground, cold to her touch and cracked deeply under the weight of time. It appeared to be a public marketplace of some sort, given the various store signs. They were all pretty self explanatory: the bakery illustrated by bread, the local coffee shop discerned by its steaming cup, so on and so forth. Lilin had made her rounds, eventually realizing that the shops had been pillaged long ago by creatures seeking to feed themselves too. One last shop, however, had distinguished itself from the rest and caught her attention. The sign was faded and yellow, but the canine silhouette was still very apparent to anyone who looked closely. Inside she stood, motionless and somewhat taken aback by the wide variety of dog posters, books and magazines. It was a small grooming shop, furnished with very little equipment. The reception area was decorated eloquently; featuring a variety of different breeds on the walls. She couldn’t help but note how beautiful some of them were, especially the long-haired breeds. Unlike her, they were well-groomed and free of mats. For a moment, Lilin had trouble making sense- any sense- of the envy that befell her. The feeling was fleeting, however, and it vanished as soon as another dog hindered her vision. What the fuck? Before her was a standard poodle, sporting the English saddle cut. The two-toned femme couldn’t help but grimace at how grotesque it looked, momentarily glad that she looked nothing like that.

Word Count → 330 Nimble fingers hesitantly reached out and touched the glossy poster, tracing a pattern around the dog's haughty figure. Although she understood the fact that it was merely a picture, her digits still searched for confirmation of the creature's existence. Sadly enough, the material evoked no texture or warmth, leaving her imagination as the only source of speculation. The Stormbringer girl had no problems believing in abstract theories or apocryphal beings. She did not doubt the authenticity of the dog-like animal displayed on the wall but her mind demanded additional information nonetheless. Silent assumptions teased her intellect until a plausible theory, one that wasn't her own, seemingly vocalized out of thin air. Flinching momentarily, Lilin allowed her ears to droop ever so slightly. While it wasn't wise to turn her back on a complete stranger, she couldn't help but remain in that position while his words replayed in the back of her mind. It started off as a blur: a sound jagged and distorted becoming clearer with each push of the play button. Perhaps she would've reacted differently, a little more readily, had he used a different tone of voice. But the male's choice of words, the timbre applied to them and the safe distance kept between the two wanderers evoked no immediate threat, if any at all. Although security wasn't a concern for the time being, her posture maintained a hint of caution. Coaxed by the unexpected presence in the area, Lilin finally pivoted toward the entrance. Her ebony tufted tail was taut yet tolerant enough to sway from side to side. “Maybe,” She hadn't considered sickness to be a culprit in this situation but now that he'd mentioned it, it was definitely a possibility. Her gaze went from the poodle to his distant silhouette. Bringing up a hand to shield her eyes from the setting sun, assessing the traits that she could see through the window, the bi-colored femme elaborated on her one-word answer. “Do you think it's contagious?” table by the Mentors! <style>.lilinbroke .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px;} .lilinbroke p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .lilinbroke b {color:#ffffff; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .lilinbroke {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/awja0.jpg); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#a9a9a9; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:justify; margin:0px auto; outline:1px solid #000000; border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none solid solid solid; border-color:#FFFFFF;} .lilinbroke .inner {margin:0px 10px 281px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://soulsrpg.com/images/pride/templa ... ate_bg.png); border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none dotted dotted dotted; border-color:#3B4E48;} .lilinbroke .wordcount {color:#636363; letter-spacing:0px; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; border-top:1px dotted #636363; text-align:right; padding:0px 5px; text-transform:uppercase; margin:0px 15px 15px 15px;} p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:425px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} </style>[/html] - Barrett - 12-18-2011 [html] <style> .barry-walls p {padding:8px 15px 0px 15px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;font-size:11px; } .barry-walls p:first-letter {font-size:18px;font-weight:normal;font-family: verdana, sans-serif;} .barry-walls b {color:#FFD800; font-family:georgia, serif; font-weight:bold; font-size:11px;quotes:'“' '”';} .barry-walls b:before{content:open-quote;} .barry-walls b:after{content:close-quote;} .barry-walls {font-family: verdana,sans-serif; color:#E49001; text-align: justify; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l53 ... /walls.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 175px 0px;width:100%;border:0;} .barry-walls-ext{background-color:#333333; border:3px double #000000;width:90%; margin:0 auto; max-width:700px; min-width:450px;-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px #111111;-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px #111111;margin-top:20px;margin:bottom:20px;} .barry-walls .ooc {padding:0px; margin-right:20px;margin-left:20px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;border-bottom:1px dotted #111111; font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:10px;color:#444444;line-height:12px;} .barry-walls .wotd {border-bottom:1px dotted #3A0A00;} .barry-walls-name{text-align:right;font-size:32px;font-family: 'Rock Salt', cursive;color:#000000;margin-right:20px;font-weight:bold;margin-top:10px;} </style>[/html] - Lilin Soulstorm - 12-20-2011 [html] uh-oh! Word Count → 411 He had mastered the subtle art of dealing with people. Lilin thought she'd seen a smile through the fiery brume of particles separating the two wolves but that could not be confirmed until he made his way to the entrance, appearing in the doorway. The remnants of a good-natured smile were indeed detectable, adding to his poise and smooth behavior. Although the Soulstorm juvenile did not quite mirror the hushed greeting, the slight upward curling of her lips did show willingness. Smiles didn't come easy back home, where she'd had little to no relationship with the pack males. This kind of encounter was new and quite refreshing. Lilin did not budge as the stranger neared her exact location, instincts triumphing over intellect. Whilst he avoided direct eye contact at first, preferring to examine their subject a little more closely, the Azathoth descendant did the exact opposite. Orbs of Caribbean blue went directly to the copper key adorning his neck chain, travelling upward to examine the anatomy of his face. A multitude of blackened hues ranging anywhere from light to dark contributed to his uniqueness. She immediately appreciated that, somewhat relating to his uncommon appearance. Then he finally turned in her direction, long enough for her to study the contrast between his darkened fur and cream-colored eyes. To the general population, staring down a stranger might've been considered rude or defiant. But for someone like Haku's daughter who hadn't been taught the first thing about social etiquette, there was nothing wrong with it. “You're probably right,” she admitted softly, clearly in acquiescence with his assumptions. Her attention once more turned to the sick dog, analyzing it with the same intent she had devoted to her fellow investigator a few seconds prior. Another statement reached her receivers, followed by the melodic sound of something she hadn't heard in forever. This time, a genuine smile found its way to her maw. The only contagious thing around was his laughter. It broke the ice. Tensions eased significantly and Lilin found herself making way for an age-appropriate attitude.“Oh, he's beyond salvation but there might still be hope for you. Maybe we should floof you up!” she chimed in, allowing her tail wags to pick up the tempo. Scanning the vicinity for more tips and information- books in particular- the bi-colored girl made her way around the reception desk to rummage through its contents. “You just wait. I'm pretty sure I'll find something explaining how to.” table by the Mentors! <style>.lilinbroke .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px;} .lilinbroke p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .lilinbroke b {color:#ffffff; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .lilinbroke {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/awja0.jpg); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#a9a9a9; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:justify; margin:0px auto; outline:1px solid #000000; border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none solid solid solid; border-color:#FFFFFF;} .lilinbroke .inner {margin:0px 10px 281px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://soulsrpg.com/images/pride/templa ... ate_bg.png); border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none dotted dotted dotted; border-color:#3B4E48;} .lilinbroke .wordcount {color:#636363; letter-spacing:0px; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; border-top:1px dotted #636363; text-align:right; padding:0px 5px; text-transform:uppercase; margin:0px 15px 15px 15px;} p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:425px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} </style>[/html] - Barrett - 01-01-2012 [html] <style> .barry-walls p {padding:8px 15px 0px 15px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;font-size:11px; } .barry-walls p:first-letter {font-size:18px;font-weight:normal;font-family: verdana, sans-serif;} .barry-walls b {color:#FFD800; font-family:georgia, serif; font-weight:bold; font-size:11px;quotes:'“' '”';} .barry-walls b:before{content:open-quote;} .barry-walls b:after{content:close-quote;} .barry-walls {font-family: verdana,sans-serif; color:#E49001; text-align: justify; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l53 ... /walls.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 175px 0px;width:100%;border:0;} .barry-walls-ext{background-color:#333333; border:3px double #000000;width:90%; margin:0 auto; max-width:700px; min-width:450px;-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px #111111;-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px #111111;margin-top:20px;margin:bottom:20px;} .barry-walls .ooc {padding:0px; margin-right:20px;margin-left:20px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;border-bottom:1px dotted #111111; font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:10px;color:#444444;line-height:12px;} .barry-walls .wotd {border-bottom:1px dotted #3A0A00;} .barry-walls-name{text-align:right;font-size:32px;font-family: 'Rock Salt', cursive;color:#000000;margin-right:20px;font-weight:bold;margin-top:10px;} </style>[/html] - Lilin Soulstorm - 01-02-2012 [html] im too easily amused. ;-; Word Count → 361 In a sense, his nonchalance and light-hearted, optimistic outlook on life differed greatly from the way she’d been raised. Never in a million years would she have reacted this way, mirroring the same level of poise he so casually flaunted if she didn’t already consider him to be somewhat surreal. Her admiration, for that was what it was, resembled the same degree of awe a person would display upon meeting a childhood hero. Fascination was a powerful thing and in Lilin’s case, influential enough to acquire a normality that she had not once displayed before. It did not completely null out her inexperience and naivety, as the stranger would eventually notice, but it did help tremendously. The buoyant defiance thrown her way became a source of conviction and his ruse was met with the same fervent determination. Was he challenging her grooming abilities? She too, leaned forward emphatically; resting her upper body on the reception desk as she expertly presented him with the “All Breed Dog Grooming” guide. There it was, on page 87, the Keeshond dog in all of its glory. Sliding the encyclopaedia towards her interlocutor, the Soulstorm juvenile brought forth a finger to outline the dog’s silhouette. Also known as the wolf spitzer, the Keeshond shared many similarities with the male leaning before her, including an assortment of earthen hues. What they were looking for was the volume and majestic appearance the smaller breed possessed: a look that she knew would somewhat effeminate the stranger when in all reality, she already found him quite handsome with all of his little imperfections. “This is what I’ve got,” she countered with a smirk, quite satisfied with her discovery. Crystal blue irises found their way to his masked face, seeking his citrine gaze for signs of approval or dismay. With the distance between them lessened, Lilin unabashedly allowed her hand to brush the side of his cheek. Her playful expression then morphed into the perfect caricature of an incredulous stare. “When was the last time you took a bath?” she chastised, promptly retracting from their proximity and moving into the adjacent room: the one dotted with shelves and a grooming table. table by the Mentors! <style>.lilinbroke .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px;} .lilinbroke p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .lilinbroke b {color:#ffffff; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .lilinbroke {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/awja0.jpg); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#a9a9a9; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:justify; margin:0px auto; outline:1px solid #000000; border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none solid solid solid; border-color:#FFFFFF;} .lilinbroke .inner {margin:0px 10px 281px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://soulsrpg.com/images/pride/templa ... ate_bg.png); border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none dotted dotted dotted; border-color:#3B4E48;} .lilinbroke .wordcount {color:#636363; letter-spacing:0px; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; border-top:1px dotted #636363; text-align:right; padding:0px 5px; text-transform:uppercase; margin:0px 15px 15px 15px;} p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:425px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} </style>[/html] - Barrett - 01-08-2012 [html] <style> .barry-walls p {padding:8px 15px 0px 15px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;font-size:11px; } .barry-walls p:first-letter {font-size:18px;font-weight:normal;font-family: verdana, sans-serif;} .barry-walls b {color:#FFD800; font-family:georgia, serif; font-weight:bold; font-size:11px;quotes:'“' '”';} .barry-walls b:before{content:open-quote;} .barry-walls b:after{content:close-quote;} .barry-walls {font-family: verdana,sans-serif; color:#E49001; text-align: justify; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l53 ... /walls.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 175px 0px;width:100%;border:0;} .barry-walls-ext{background-color:#333333; border:3px double #000000;width:90%; margin:0 auto; max-width:700px; min-width:450px;-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px #111111;-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px #111111;margin-top:20px;margin:bottom:20px;} .barry-walls .ooc {padding:0px; margin-right:20px;margin-left:20px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;border-bottom:1px dotted #111111; font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:10px;color:#444444;line-height:12px;} .barry-walls .wotd {border-bottom:1px dotted #3A0A00;} .barry-walls-name{text-align:right;font-size:32px;font-family: 'Rock Salt', cursive;color:#000000;margin-right:20px;font-weight:bold;margin-top:10px;} </style>[/html] - Lilin Soulstorm - 01-14-2012 [html] slight pp, nyah. :3
Word Count → 544 The challenge intensified further given his willingness and whimsical taunts. He was so refreshingly different from other people she'd encountered, shattering a canvas of seasoned misconceptions and remolding it into something legitimate. This was an unexpected change of great significance, beatifically welcomed by the self-proclaimed cult heir. It had taken one out of hundreds to make a difference, one male to prove his selfworth. Already, she understood a little more: why Lillith had been capable of creating friendly liaisons with some of them at an earlier time in her life or why she spoke of her childhood playmate, a male of the de le Poer bloodline, with such an emotional attachment. Clearly, not all of them were brutes. Perhaps this was why her dam, according to the tracks she'd followed up until their dissipation, had come back to these lands. A doggish bark had escaped the confinements of her maw when his good-natured nip had assailed one of her digits; an unwarranted threat of a fake retaliation, beware! Fun, games and laughter did not come without consequences for the two-toned female. Admist the lively atmosphere there was a pinch of guilt preventing her from giving in entirely. Her mentor would disapprove of such conduct, of this she was certain. But Lillith was nowhere remotely close and her daughter found herself empowered by this stranger's contagious amiability. Her nose crinkled with amplified discouragement when his confession came about. He was dirty indeed and seemingly proud of it. She made no fuss about it though. “How typical.” One thing she did know for a fact, hygiene was never a male's top priority. Perhaps it wouldn't have been such a big deal to Lilin if her undercoat weren't thicker than average and matted so easily. It actually made for a good source of warmth during the winter months but come spring, shedding would be a plague. By the time she found what she'd been looking for, he had already taken a seat up on the table. Proactivity was a wonderful thing and it pleased her immensely. Brushing out the coat had to be the first step to a well-executed groom. “I'm Lilin, by the way.” she offered gratuitously, moving over to the table and setting down her acquisitions next to him: a slicker brush and a dematting comb. Hesitating, the Soulstorm juvenile briefly debated whether the grooming table's capacity could support two wolves at once. She decided against it though, judging it wiser to experiment while standing up and avoid the awkwardness that would surely ensue if they broke the table and somehow both landed face first on the floor. Instead, she positioned herself safely behind him. A gentle tug on the male's cap was enough to release him from its possession, revealing quite the messy hairdo that lay hidden underneath. A stifled laugh accompanied her discovery as she leaned over his shoulder and returned the piece of clothing to its owner. She chose the slicker brush first, examining the thin metal tines by pressing on them with the tip of her finger. They were smooth and flexible enough, ensuring an unyielding level of comfort for the test subject. It was with great care and delicacy that she exerted the first stroke. “Does this hurt?” table by the Mentors! <style>.lilinbroke .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px;} .lilinbroke p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .lilinbroke b {color:#ffffff; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .lilinbroke {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/awja0.jpg); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#a9a9a9; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:justify; margin:0px auto; outline:1px solid #000000; border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none solid solid solid; border-color:#FFFFFF;} .lilinbroke .inner {margin:0px 10px 281px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://soulsrpg.com/images/pride/templa ... ate_bg.png); border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none dotted dotted dotted; border-color:#3B4E48;} .lilinbroke .wordcount {color:#636363; letter-spacing:0px; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; border-top:1px dotted #636363; text-align:right; padding:0px 5px; text-transform:uppercase; margin:0px 15px 15px 15px;} p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:425px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} </style>[/html] - Barrett - 01-22-2012 [html] <style> .barry-walls p {padding:8px 15px 0px 15px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;font-size:11px; } .barry-walls p:first-letter {font-size:18px;font-weight:normal;font-family: verdana, sans-serif;} .barry-walls b {color:#FFD800; font-family:georgia, serif; font-weight:bold; font-size:11px;quotes:'“' '”';} .barry-walls b:before{content:open-quote;} .barry-walls b:after{content:close-quote;} .barry-walls {font-family: verdana,sans-serif; color:#E49001; text-align: justify; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l53 ... /walls.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 175px 0px;width:100%;border:0;} .barry-walls-ext{background-color:#333333; border:3px double #000000;width:90%; margin:0 auto; max-width:700px; min-width:450px;-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px #111111;-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px #111111;margin-top:20px;margin:bottom:20px;} .barry-walls .ooc {padding:0px; margin-right:20px;margin-left:20px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;border-bottom:1px dotted #111111; font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:10px;color:#444444;line-height:12px;} .barry-walls .wotd {border-bottom:1px dotted #3A0A00;} .barry-walls-name{text-align:right;font-size:32px;font-family: 'Rock Salt', cursive;color:#000000;margin-right:20px;font-weight:bold;margin-top:10px;} </style>[/html] - Lilin Soulstorm - 02-14-2012 [html] figured we'd move this along a bit. <3
Word Count → 265 Working her way from top to bottom and carefully separating the occasional knot or two from the combed-out fur, Lilin managed to make it all the way down to his nape without much difficulty.

The Soulstorm juvenile worked meticulously and in silence, evaluating her undertaking as she worked her way through his fur.

There was a long pause, a moment of hesitation. “I know this is straightforward, but once we're done here... can I come home with you? Just for a little while?” She had nowhere to go and although she strived to keep away from trouble, there was no telling who or what she'd run into on her own. table by the Mentors! <style>.lilinbroke .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px;} .lilinbroke p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .lilinbroke b {color:#ffffff; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .lilinbroke {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/awja0.jpg); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#a9a9a9; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:justify; margin:0px auto; outline:1px solid #000000; border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none solid solid solid; border-color:#FFFFFF;} .lilinbroke .inner {margin:0px 10px 281px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://soulsrpg.com/images/pride/templa ... ate_bg.png); border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none dotted dotted dotted; border-color:#3B4E48;} .lilinbroke .wordcount {color:#636363; letter-spacing:0px; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; border-top:1px dotted #636363; text-align:right; padding:0px 5px; text-transform:uppercase; margin:0px 15px 15px 15px;} p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:425px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} </style>[/html] - Barrett - 02-26-2012 [html] <style> .barry-walls p {padding:8px 15px 0px 15px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;font-size:11px; } .barry-walls p:first-letter {font-size:18px;font-weight:normal;font-family: verdana, sans-serif;} .barry-walls b {color:#FFD800; font-family:georgia, serif; font-weight:bold; font-size:11px;quotes:'“' '”';} .barry-walls b:before{content:open-quote;} .barry-walls b:after{content:close-quote;} .barry-walls {font-family: verdana,sans-serif; color:#E49001; text-align: justify; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l53 ... /walls.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 175px 0px;width:100%;border:0;} .barry-walls-ext{background-color:#333333; border:3px double #000000;width:90%; margin:0 auto; max-width:700px; min-width:450px;-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px #111111;-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px #111111;margin-top:20px;margin:bottom:20px;} .barry-walls .ooc {padding:0px; margin-right:20px;margin-left:20px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;border-bottom:1px dotted #111111; font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:10px;color:#444444;line-height:12px;} .barry-walls .wotd {border-bottom:1px dotted #3A0A00;} .barry-walls-name{text-align:right;font-size:32px;font-family: 'Rock Salt', cursive;color:#000000;margin-right:20px;font-weight:bold;margin-top:10px;} </style>[/html] |
