[font=comic sans ms,cursive]N[/font] [quote name='BFH' timestamp='1366462974' post='135091'] PoE I might sound crazy, silly whatever, but it is very hard for me to understand the reasons behind this sort of acts. So I would like if you can explain me that. Like is there a real reason behind this? [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive]Now that would be a spoiler, my dear - and I would hate to deprive someone of earning a WP to solve the riddle.[/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive]! > # > &[/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive] [/font]

For clarification. There are dreamcatchers, those with the ability to cast dreams, those with that particular role - but, there is only one Dream Weaver, and that is me. I say Dream Weaver because it was a role I created, a role I continue to play even though I destroyed my dreamcatcher role. It was an art form I created to supplement the dreamcatcher ability, an art form I have begun to teach two people in the realm. An art form I will continue to use to explore, to push boundaries and limits, to make things challenging and uncomfortable (for with struggle comes growth, resilience). There are a few who seek to understand the reasons, the why. And for those on that path -- it will require a stretch of the imagination, boat-loads of patience, and a discerning eye.

There are two people (besides myself) who know the truth behind this situation, the reasons for my actions. A final riddle, for which I will give a WP to whoever can solve it. If you can catch me running around as a fugitive (jail is so easy to escape), you may ask. Otherwise, seek under the origin of the MDA oak sapling for a clue.

So quick to judge and jury all at once. Nice. This game's rigged precisely because of this attitude of those in power. Blinded by the light So many tears shed... don't forget the buckets!!

Hehe council is coming at me like a lynch mob because of dst's complaints. Ya'll should lighten up. It's just a game.

1) Dst failed riddle number 4 2) Powers were used to 'free' dst from her punishment, before any investigation ensued to determine the nature of the situation. 3) Council threatened to take my powers away without any investigation 4) Happy birthday MD. See you around. Maybe.

Feb 02 14:55:00 : Sunako wants fenths to turn into hamburger Feb 02 14:55:47 *Nimrodel*: mmm... there was a research clue about fenths. pity they've been disabled Feb 02 14:56:02 : Sunako tugstugs Nimrodel and shows her a picture of hamgbureger Feb 02 14:56:11 *Nimrodel*: o.o Feb 02 14:56:17 *Nimrodel*: hambaggah! Feb 02 14:56:23 *Nimrodel*: i'm hungry.. Feb 02 14:56:33 : *Nimrodel* orders food from room service Feb 02 14:56:36 : Sunako pokes her little bag of fenths.. Feb 02 14:57:01 Mallos: The research clue on fenths is on the forum too. Feb 02 14:57:07 : Sunako hopes she orders her portion too Feb 02 14:57:10 *Nimrodel*: you need a wishpoint too sunako Feb 02 14:58:17 Sunako: *makes a sad face& Feb 02 14:58:29 : Sunako makes a sad face properly Feb 02 14:58:38 *Nimrodel*: dun worry.. there are plenty of ways to win wishpoints Feb 02 14:58:47 *Nimrodel*: 3 wishpoints in my quest Feb 02 14:58:56 : Sunako blinks Feb 02 14:59:19 : Sunako goes one circle around nimbrodel looking for quest.. Feb 02 14:59:28 Sunako: (*nimrodel) Feb 02 14:59:43 *Nimrodel*: second.. lemme link you Feb 02 15:00:04 *Nimrodel*: [[url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/13650-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder/page__pid__131868#entry131868"]Forum link[/url]] Feb 02 15:00:38 : Sephirah Caelum joins the people in the garden Feb 02 15:00:57 Sephirah Caelum: Hello! Feb 02 15:01:00 : Change waves to Sephirah Caelum Feb 02 15:01:00 : Sunako stares blankly.. unable to read Feb 02 15:01:06 Change: Hello! *smiles* Feb 02 15:01:12 : Sunako toss the papper away and sulk Feb 02 15:02:53 : Sunako Sunako's stomach growls... Feb 02 15:03:42 Change: Hungry? Feb 02 15:04:06 : Mallos throws the dice and gets 4 Feb 02 15:04:09 Sephirah Caelum: So ... do you know how end the party? Feb 02 15:04:21 : Sunako nodsnods Feb 02 15:04:33 : Sunako stares at Change Feb 02 15:04:36 : Mallos passed Green Candy to Sunako Feb 02 15:04:39 Rumi: Hi everyone Feb 02 15:04:52 : Sunako starts chewy away at candy Feb 02 15:05:20 Sephirah Caelum: Ahh hello Rumi! Feb 02 15:05:29 Rumi: (I just woke up - will return in 30 minutes to continue construction - we have a lot of work still to go) Feb 02 15:05:35 Change: *waves to Rumi* Hello! Feb 02 15:05:35 Sephirah Caelum: and new clothes! They looks nice on you Feb 02 15:05:54 Sephirah Caelum: (ok) Feb 02 15:06:03 Change: I'm thinking about a flower garden, and paintbrushes. Feb 02 15:06:53 Sephirah Caelum: paintbrushes? Feb 02 15:07:15 : Sunako stomack growls again.. Feb 02 15:08:29 Change: Yup! To paint pictures with. Feb 02 15:08:48 Change: Hmm.. I guess I'd need something to paint on. I could paint rocks. Feb 02 15:09:19 Sephirah Caelum: ahhh ... Feb 02 15:09:31 Change: This world needs some splashes of colour, like on the potions I've seen when I was new. Feb 02 15:09:43 Sephirah Caelum: *chuckles* you could paint happy rocks Feb 02 15:10:01 Change: For instance, what if the resources were colourful? I could paint the resources. Feb 02 15:10:07 : Sunako goes back to doodling on her sketchbook Feb 02 15:10:20 Change: They'd grow more colourful the more 'present' they are. Feb 02 15:12:32 Sephirah Caelum: would be nice, but I don't know .. Feb 02 15:12:32 Change: Oh! Right! *looks at her scroll that has a few words about her* Feb 02 15:12:38 Change: I can paint on this! Feb 02 15:12:51 Change: Still need a brush and paints though. Feb 02 15:13:47 JadenDew the Fro.: Ribb Feb 02 15:13:53 : Feb 02 15:15:19 Sephirah Caelum: *nods* yeah you will need Feb 02 15:18:51 Change: Why don't you know about the resources though? If they were colourful, maybe people wouldn't want to take them too much! Feb 02 15:19:53 Sephirah Caelum: I'm afraid that colorful paper and rainbow candy are only special for me because they hold color Feb 02 15:20:11 Sephirah Caelum: If everything has color, I think I will like less Feb 02 15:20:39 Sephirah Caelum: But, well, I'm not sure about this eighter Feb 02 15:20:42 Change: But.. even rainbow candy doesn't look as colourful as the potions. Feb 02 15:20:48 JadenDew the Fro.: Ribb Feb 02 15:21:21 Change: And won't it be more fun going through a world with splotches of colour than a world where you need to hold onto tiny pieces of candy to get it? Feb 02 15:21:33 Sephirah Caelum: but the are Rainbow *smiles* this is enought for me Feb 02 15:21:58 Sephirah Caelum: *shrugs* I don't know Feb 02 15:22:10 Change: I wouldn't miss what I never had, but I have had this Feb 02 15:22:10 Sephirah Caelum: this way things can have the color I desire .. Feb 02 15:22:28 Change: With the ancient bottles that I used. Feb 02 15:22:44 Change: Well, maybe there should be a way for people to change the colours of objects. Feb 02 15:23:08 Change: Besides. I don't mean lots of colour. Just little colours Feb 02 15:23:30 Change: Like.. maybe clovers could be extra green, so one can pick them when they're along the path. Feb 02 15:24:07 Change: They could even find a four leaf clover that would give them extra luck, until it withers. Feb 02 15:24:16 Sephirah Caelum: hm ... Feb 02 15:24:38 Sephirah Caelum: maybe the fild could be pale green when full of herbs Feb 02 15:25:03 Sephirah Caelum: nd when you collect everything they turn to it's original color Feb 02 15:25:42 : Change nods Feb 02 15:26:10 Change: Or it could even be brilliant green! Feb 02 15:26:28 Change: Like, this field right here could be green when full of life. Feb 02 15:27:14 Change: Imagine if all the grass was green *smiles* Feb 02 15:27:17 Sephirah Caelum: maybe not only green Feb 02 15:27:29 Sephirah Caelum: could have a bit of yellow and red Feb 02 15:27:42 Change: Oh no. There'd be flowers too *nods* Feb 02 15:27:48 Sephirah Caelum: since we can collect different types of plants Feb 02 15:28:13 Change: True true (Of course I think of these ideas /now/) Feb 02 15:28:22 Sephirah Caelum: but I still think in a pale color, not much brilliant Feb 02 15:28:34 Sephirah Caelum: ( ) Feb 02 15:28:40 Change: Hmmm.. but I think it'd be neat if it was brilliant. Feb 02 15:28:52 Change: I need to go for a moment though. Feb 02 15:28:55 Sephirah Caelum: the lakes could be blue Feb 02 15:29:07 Sephirah Caelum: and maybe green as well Feb 02 15:29:23 : Sephirah Caelum nods and lays on the grass Feb 02 15:38:20 Change: And back. Feb 02 15:40:02 phantasm: thank you change Feb 02 15:40:38 Change: No problem *smiles* . Feb 02 15:40:48 phantasm: hello Rumi Feb 02 15:42:38 Change: (If only I didn't suck at shading so much) Feb 02 15:42:38 phantasm: *looks around* it would appear all the work has wore everyone out Feb 02 15:42:57 Change: Yeah, it would appear so. Feb 02 15:45:23 phantasm: and plix still has the recipe book *pokes plix plox with his walking stick* Feb 02 15:49:54 Change: I really do need a small container that I can pour some water in. Feb 02 15:50:09 Change: Or do I? Hmm.. Feb 02 15:50:28 : phantasm tries to wake sephi [/spoiler][/font]
