Trophy Room

Believe it or not, we've got awards!

::Looks up at the gorgeous Gemlord with the wispy, coppery-gold hair:: I see Jade's added to the collection again. And you look like you just swallowed something bitter, Zoey.

::Jade grins even more, looking back over at the younger Elemental with a gleam in his amber eyes:: Hai. He lost our bet.

::Zoey scowls, sticking his pretty little nose up into the air:: Hmpf.

::Chuckles a bit, then turns her attention to the Air Warrior:: Want to show off the awards to the guests?

From Haruka, creator of The Tenoh Estate site:

Gladly. ::Jade turns and gestures to the pic featuring the Senshi of the Sky:: This one will always be a special award for me and Lord Obsidian both, for it was the very first award ever won by the Tower, and it was unsolicited as well.

::Zoey softly snorts:: Still was an award given out by a friend at the time. ::He twirls a lock of his hair around a slender finger::

And, no matter what happens in the future, this one will always remain the first ever award handed to us for our humble little abode out in cyberspace.

If I recall correctly, ::Jade turns to glance back at the guests:: this award was given because Haruka thought the overall presentation of the site was a good one, as well as showing quality and effort in its construction and contents.

::Zoey chortles faintly, still twirling a lock of his hair around a slender finger:: Well, that much is true enough. Gotta admit, the Space Ginsu has a bit of taste, though I still think it was more--

::The look on Di-chan's face convinces the Water Warrior he ought to stop before he gets into trouble::

From Amanda, creator of SailorMoon CrystalTokyo:

::Jade next points to two empty frames hanging side-by-side:: Now here're the second and third ones we received. However, it's with quite a bit of sadness that we must note that Amanda has lost her website's hosting, and the award pictures are no longer available.

::Zoey softly sighs:: A shame that she's lost it. It was a pretty good website on its own.

::A slow nod:: I miss being able to go there, myself. Go ahead and leave the space there, Jade. I'll see if I can't do something about getting the pics again.

::The Eastern Commander just nods and points to the next award on the black stone walls::

From Zan-chan! Priestess of the Almighty-Hyphen and Defender of Day-Glo Orange (don't ask, it's a loooong story!):

Ah yes, Zan-chan's idea of a "joke".

::Zoey grins just a bit:: Hai, which she did after you asked her if she was going to give out awards.

You're making it sound like I was begging, Zoisite.

::Zoey opens his mouth to say something, then promtly closes it when Jade shoots him an irritated look::

::Turning back to the guests, the Air Warrior can't help but smirk:: At least he can't say that we only got awards from online friends anymore. Ah, blessed silence.

::The slender Water Warrior just glares, remaining silent::

From Callie, creater of Sailor Andromeda's Sailor Moon Site:

::Jade grins as he shows off the next award:: We're rather proud of this one.

::Zoey snickers, unable to remain quiet anymore:: I just bet you are. After all, she used to be--

::Frowns:: Keep that up, Western Commander, and I'll make life miserable for you. After all, I am your author.

::Zoey pouts prettily, shutting his mouth again::

::Jade smirks at his younger comrade getting rounded on:: Anyway, as I was saying, this is the first award we received for having a good fanfic.

And I'll always be honored by that. ::Smiles brilliantly:: It's nice to be noticed for something that you've put a bit of effort into.

From Arena, creator of The Shrine of Evil!:

::Jadeite glances at the place on the wall, where-- depending on your browser-- you either see the award pictures or you don't::

::Zoisite snickers, but otherwise doesn't make a sound::

::Glances at Zoe:: The image files were corrupted on Arena's end of things. She can see them just fine on her comp, and we saw them once just fine when we downloaded them...

But I still can't reopen them with my picture editing program. ::Jade frowns slightly:: To this day, nothing I've done has been able to fix the problem. Strange thing is, though, I know for a fact that Internet Explorer can see them, but Netscape Navigator can't. All I can say is that yes, we have these two awards and maybe some day we'll get the pictures working for everyone. For those of you that can;t see them, the first award features Secret of Mana characters and is given out for an outstanding fanfic. The second one's a large picture featuring the Inner Senshi juggling fruit in kawaii aprons and is given out for an outstanding website.

From Illuna, creator of Illuna's Kunzite & Zoisite Love Shrine:

::Zoey frowns just a bit as the shorter haired Gemlord turns to point out two more awards hanging on the walls. However, his expression shifts to a faint smirk looking at one of the pair of pictures:: At least they have my gorgeous image on them. Fine, so I lost the bet...

::Jadeite grins a bit:: I told you that there would be someone out there that wasn't anyone we knew that would give us something.

::The Western Commander absently gives his older compatriot a gesture of dismissal with an elegant wave of his hand:: Hai. You won. After so long, you won. Hope you feel better.

::The Eastern Commander just grins even more:: Hai, actually, I do, Zoey. ::Still smirking, he winks an amber eye at the visitors:: This first one was given to us by Illuna for the criteria that it had something to do with the Dark Kingdom and focused mostly on the villians of Sailor Moon.

::Zoey silently giggle and seriously thinks about sneaking behind Jadeite and doing the old "rabbit ears with the fingers" method of being an annoying brat. However, he decides not to and glances at the last award hanging on the wall:: Now this one, I just gotta admire the picture. Beautiful drawings indeed. ::With a self-satisfied smile, he tightens his ponytail of coppery-blond hair and fluffs out the silken waves with his slender fingers::

::Jade glances back at the younger Gemlord and rolls his eyes at the primping:: Cosmos, Zoi, that isn't even you in that drawing.

::The Water Warrior elegantly shrugs:: Hai, I know it's an image of yet another counterpart. But you have to admit, all of us Zoisites are gorgeous.

Thank you, Zoisite. I'm sure we needed to hear that.

::As the youngest Gemlord snickers, the other blond man shakes his head and turns his attention back to you:: Anyway, this was was given to us by Illuna for the fanart that we have scattered throughout the Tower that was drawn by Di-chan.

Let me tell you, I was surprised to get one for that. I know I draw all right--

::Zoey's soft voice interrupts:: Don't get too excited. After all, she did say that it was a general award, for pros and beginners alike. You just had to show that you liked to draw. ::An innocent grin settles on his pretty face::

::Jade gets a slightly irritated look to his face. Then that shifts to a satisfied grin:: Ready to pay up, Zoey?

::The Western Commander's pretty face settles into a frown. With a sudden swirl of violet-blue sparkles, Zoisite's slender form disappears::

Hey! ::An amber flash heralds the Air Warrior's equally abrupt departure from the room, leaving Di-chan alone with you:

::Turns to face the visitors, smiling in an embarrassed sort of way due to the antics of the pair of Elemental Warriors:: Well, I'm grateful to Haru-chan (for the first award ever), Manda-chan, Zan-chan, Callie (for the first fanfic award), 'Rena, and now Illuna (for the first fanart award as well as being an impartial judge) for their recognition of the Gemlords and their home as something special. Now that we've shown off some, where would you like to go now?
