Fyrd Argentus Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Opening Festivities ============================ [spoiler] :Innocence looks around and eveyone and smiles. :Dragual Monarth slips his hand into Katts :Princess Katt smiles at Dragual Awiiya:Hello Inno Awiiya:It's been a while. Even though we live so close, I hardly see you. Innocence:I know, Spike... I should get out more often... Innocence:Okay, everyone, I want to welcome you all to the first MagicDuel Archives Festival!! Phantom Orchid: *claps* Hoorah! :Brulant cheers and claps Innocence:As Kyphis and Eggs have mentioned, please register with them for a tag and a riddle. Innocence:When you have your tag and half-riddle, search for your match and solve the riddle to get a prize. Innocence:Also, I have placed within my alliance page a list of other games to play between the various events. Innocence:Now enough of my talking. I turn this event over to Spike. :Innocence bows and steps into the crowd. Awiiya:So to start of the festival, we have a Story Night with a twist - your stories should be parodies of the AL. Awiiya:Have you ever thought that the style is ridiculous of melodramatic? Do you wish that Khalazdad could have had an obsession with dolls? Now is your time to drag us into that fantasy. Awiiya:Or melodramatic. Typos are accepted in your stories. *laughs* :Innocence smiles and giggles. Awiiya:Does anybody want to start us off? Awiiya:Anyone? *laughs* They can be made up on the spot too. Lone Wolf:How long do they have to be >> Phantom Orchid:Don't be shy Awiiya:There's no limit on either end. Phantom Orchid:I will start if nobody else wants to Awiiya:In fact, they can even be a line. Hemmingway was famous for his 6 word stories. Innocence:I suppose I should ask... did anyone prepare a story? Passant the weak:I can start with a very short one Awiiya:Go for it, Passant. :Telemnar cleans some grass for a pleasant seat :Passant the weak sits on the grass blushing, actually red as a tomato Passant the weak:This I have witnessed with my own eyes Passant the weak:A few days ago I saw 3 mages, named Brulant, Amber Rune and Awiiya trying an experiment Passant the weak:They had a large pot, some fire and started putting ingredients into the pot Passant the weak:Brulant put water Passant the weak:Amber put Aromatic herbs Passant the weak:And Awiiya provided branches to light them up Passant the weak:The result was not as expected: a large explosion was heard and a hole appeared somewhere around the center of that realm Passant the weak:Later on, we discovered a Jester with a crown trapped at the bottom of the hole. Passant the weak:All he said was "please don't forget the Tea Leaves next time" Passant the weak:I am not sure I understood what he meant, but that ends my story :Brulant laughs and claps :Vika Noir claps Phantom Orchid:Thank you for sharing :Innocence giggles and applauds. Paracelsus: *smiles* nice Passant :Telemnar chuckles :Sunfire claps :Princess Katt applauds Awiiya: *claps* That was very good. Awiiya:A parody of the Golemus wizards, no? Passant the weak:indeed :Handy Pockets claps :lashtal claps and greets the big crowd Awiiya:Well done. :Passant the weak bows and gives the spot to the next candidate Awiiya:Though... maybe I'll refrain from using my arms for tea fuel in the future. :Awiiya laughs :Dragual Monarth claps Awiiya:Phantom Orchid, did you say you had one? :Phantom Orchid nods Phantom Orchid:It is unplanned. Phantom Orchid:It has one twist. Also, I would like it to be interactive for those who know the story - feel free to embellish it as you please :Telemnar prepares to throw in an embellishment about books on properly brushing drachorn's teeth Awiiya:Phantom Orchid - does that mean we get to inject things into your story? : *itLesn to me ppleo!e* : *Litnes* : *eiLtsn cosel* : *I am the Anecint Draogn Metasr* : *I have rrtueend form the bnniiengg of Time* : *to rlue my dogarn kngdiom angai* Vika Noir:And a bit drunk.. :Innocence stares at first and then snickers. : *As you can see, II am aa Gdo* Brulant:That is why we cannot fully understand. : *I am bieggr tahn you and II hvae divnie pseowr* Telemnar:Divine breath maybe.. : **kolos rael saryc* Phantom Orchid: SUTHOS: Sn!!cl!!!!!!i!!!!!!!!e!!!e!!!! :Handy Pockets looks around to find this god Dragual Monarth:Hey... Who has the alcohol? : *fAter aa lnog mmneot of seilecn, the tniy ant plopee sarecm* Awiiya:Ahh! : *aiHl The Dgoran Ms!erta* Phantom Orchid: "iaHl the Dgaron Mtresa" : *Hail the ...hic ... Dgoran Mtreas* : *All Hail the Doargn Mtsrae* Awiiya:All hail the Dragon Master! And her chat breaking abilities... [which have been removed from the transcript] : *gchuso* Phantom Orchid: SelInce! :Dragual Monarth looks around at the crowd : *I am yuor mteasr and you shall do as II say* : *Or II salhl turn you itno Dstu* Telemnar:I don't want to be turned into dst! : *meha* :Innocence giggles. :Telemnar does as the dragon master says Phantom Orchid: *ihts the basntreyds with aa book caleld "ortsihy of the ancinet drgaon mreast" :Dragual Monarth smiles : *hits must be aa ...hic ... jeko* : *koje* : *hTe Book edns as ...hic ... etxcpede* Passant the weak:I bow to the aster! : *I am the Doargn ...hic ...

Passant the weak:All Hail the drunk Dragon Master Ars Alchemy:I hoped there would be more dancing girls :Awiiya claps Dragual Monarth: All hial the drogan masert! Awiiya:Just like RJ remembers it. :Innocence applauds and laughs. :Passant the weak claps Brulant: *claps* All hail the Dragon Master! Innocence:That was wonderful, Poe! Innocence:If I might take a moment... Innocence:In the future, please eliminate all conversation during a telling. [Conversations/extra elements have been removed from the transcript/] Innocence:It shows disrespect to the one telling the story. Innocence:Reactions, laughing and smiling, are appropriate. Innocence:However, please don't shout out across the clearing at those passing by. Awiiya:Does anybody want to go next? :Ars Alchemy looks around for people he knows Phantom Orchid:Thank you *smiles* Awiiya:And Innocence is absolutely right. It's no fun if you can't hear the story. Phantom Orchid:Especially if its drunk-talk. Phantom Orchid:Does anyone else have a story to share? :De Mimsy Porpington sits down in the shade. Awiiya:But do we have another entry? Innocence:Please remember that Spike stated you could create the tale on the spot. :Phantom Orchid plots to take Brulant down to the Archives basement and put him into armor to do a Wodin skit Innocence:Poe and Passant both did excellent jobs. Awiiya:Correct, and there's no minimum. Brulant:Let me try a rather quick one. Sunfire:i can bring one, but it’s not that good Awiiya:Go for it. Everyone quiet for Brulant! :Brulant clears his throat Brulant:So, by now we should all be familiar with who RJ was, thanks to Poe. *nods to Poe* Brulant:But! What many do not know is that his story did not happen as it was written! :Innocence gasps. Brulant:The first page is correct, his Dragon did learn to fly, but shortly after he set out for Golemus, misfortune befell him. Brulant:He was walking down the road, tripped over a rock, and hit his head. The Warrior:Ouch! Brulant:When he opened his eyes he was in a strange and distant land! Brulant:There was color! Passant the weak:Poor dragon Brulant:The sun actually moved! Sunfire:oooh Brulant:But it did bear some strange resemblance to our own beloved Realm, so RJ did not think too much of it and continued on his journey. Brulant:He reached the cave, but when he entered, things proceeded a bit differently. Brulant:When he entered the cave, a strange sight greeted his eyes. :Phantom Orchid drumrolls Brulant:There were no dragons in this cave, but a tiny village? The Warrior:dun dun duuh Brulant:And the little people were there, but dressed in colorful clothing. Brulant:Strange little overalls, and bizzare plaid shirts. Brulant:As RJ neared the group, he began to hear a strange little song Brulant:"Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!" :Innocence laughs. :Phantom Orchid chuckles Brulant:RJ was quite puzzled. Surely if someone had died he would have heard about it. :Princess Katt giggles :Awiiya laughs Brulant:So he gathered his courage and shouted to the assembled mob of celebrating tiny people, "I am the Dragon Master!" :Kyphis chuckles :Handy Pockets quietly laughs Brulant:One of the tiny people walked over and squinted up into his face, "And? I represent the lollipop guild, what of it?" :Innocence giggles. :Telemnar pounds the ground with laughter Brulant:RJ was quite taken aback. "Er -- what?" he responded confusedly. Brulant:The midget replied a bit exasperatedly, "The lollipop guild? A guild? We hand out lollipops?" :Vika Noir giggles Brulant:This meant nothing to RJ, so he tried again, "I am the Dragon Master! I tame dragons! You… may have heard of me? RJ? SmartAlekRJ? Tamer of dragons?" Brulant:The tiny man shook his head and sighed, "Alright mister, I don't know what you're on about. Seems to me that you're going to want to see the Wizard." Brulant:Now it was RJ's turn to squint, "What? The Wizard? I thought that was someone else's quest?" Innocence: *claps.* The Wizard!! :Innocence laughs. :Handy Pockets laughs Passant the weak:Beware the GG wizard! Phantom Orchid:We're off to see the wizard...! :Awiiya laughs Brulant:The midget pated RJ's arm soothingly, "Alright, alright, no need to work yourself up. Here's what you're going to do. See that road over there? The yellow one?" Brulant:RJ cuts the tiny man off, "Er, wait, what's yellow?" :Handy Pockets laughs out loud Brulant:The tiny man laughed and said, "What? Are you color blind or something?" :Passant the weak applauds :Princess Katt laughs Brulant:"No!" RJ exclaimed defensively. "No I'm not! I know colors! There's Black! And Beige! And… and… Brulant:The tiny man signaled for a group of him friends to come over and escort RJ down the road. Brulant:As RJ was frog-marched down the road the tiny man called after him, "Look, hurry up and you might catch up to that one gal! Last I heard she met up with a man with no brain, no courage, and no heart!" Brulant:RJ called back to him as the little town faded away, "How dare you say that about BigC! And I all wanted was a DRaaaggooooooooonn--------" Brulant:.end. Brulant:Because I don't know where I'm going with it. *laughs* :Vika Noir has giggle fits :Innocence claps. Maebius: *smiles and claps* Well done! :Vika Noir claps :Paracelsus laughs and claps :Falronn claps :Awiiya claps :Handy Pockets claps :Sunfire claps :Princess Katt claps :The Warrior applauds :Ars Alchemy applauds loudly :De Mimsy Porpington claps. :AmberRune claps Awiiya:That was great. Brulant: *bows to his audience* Thank you! :Sandra Klien stumbles in a little drowsy and tries to clap while walking. It doesn't work and she ends up tripping over someone Awiiya:Does anyone want to go next? Sunfire:i can go next Awiiya:Okay, go for it Sunfire Sunfire:im going to tell you what reaaly happened in necrovion, when phrog burned Sunfire:After tremir’s Group arrived at the way of cleansing, they quickly sat *phrog* near the fire to warm him again Kyphis:. *ribbit* Sunfire:two of the band were dragging a cauldron to the fire and some vegetables, in hope that some soup would help the poor thing Sunfire:A few moments later, two innocent kids wandered in and noticed poor *phrog* sitting at the fire, "guarded" by a group of men. Sunfire:If that was not, strange enough they also had a big cauldron, ready at the fire. Sunfire:They soon came to the conclusion that this group was up to no good, in their youth they believed that this group were nothing less than cannibals. Sunfire:So they gathered some “weapons”, nothing more than some branches they found there, and charged at the group Sunfire:soon a bloody fight began, teeth flew everywhere, fistbones were broken on jaws, etc... Sunfire:In the confusion of this short but heroic battle, xcerces got a nasty hit against his chest and took a step back, but fell over a stone against *phrog* who lost his balance and fell into the flames. :Ars Alchemy finds a seat and sits on the edge of it Sunfire:this of course enraged the men, and after a few well aimed hits the fight was over, the kids lay defeated at the fire Sunfire:this group tried to pull their "sneak" back out of the fire, but it was of no use, phrog was gone Innocence:Aww... poor phrog! Sunfire:indeed, and all that for a little misunderstanding Sunfire:these necro kids were not as bad as they seemed :Sunfire bows and sits down again :Awiiya claps :Innocence claps. :Princess Katt claps Je Suis Oeufs Fous:-Clapclapclap- :Falronn claps :Brulant claps :Handy Pockets claps :Sandra Klien claps :Passant the weak wonders if they were not that bad but claps and bows Awiiya:Does anybody want go next? Innocence:Anyone else want to share something? We still have plenty of time. Awiiya:I can make something up if no one has anything in mind. Innocence:Actually... if no one else has a story to share... I was wondering if... others would be willing to create one? Innocence:As in... we all work together. Brulant: *smiles* That could be awesome. Bloodynose:Possibly Innocence:Perhaps it is something we can save for the interim... Awiiya:I have one, but I need your help to create it. Awiiya:I need people to send me in a message the most cuddly thing they can think of. Awiiya:The cuter, the better. The more saccharine-overload sweet, high fructose, off the wall adorableness, the better. Ryan Delphus:Anyone/everyone? Awiiya:Yes. Awiiya:I'll draw on them in the order they come, too. Awiiya:Okay, let's do this. Awiiya:This is a tale of Khalazdad. Because he's influential and all that. Awiiya:After Khalazdad the Black had successfully complete his mission, to erradicate all challengers, and Khalazdad the White had sacrificed himself, and Khalazdad the Gray had arisen to maintain an equilibrium in the once-open and prospering land of Necrovion, there is a tale that the AL left out. Awiiya:It took place on a day of particular boredom. Awiiya:Necrovion had emptied of new people poking their noses around the Shades dwellings, and the only two residents were Khalazdad and me, at the time his Vizier. Awiiya:If you don't know what a Vizier's job is, don't worry, I didn't either. Awiiya:The sun began to move a few centimeters in the sky and I said to Khalazdad, "About that time eh? The dead time." Awiiya:He replied, "In the silence there is the most noise. Our surroundings are a desert, and in the desert there is hidden rest behind the dunes." Awiiya:I let his wise words sit in the air. Awiiya:"Okay. That's great. But I'm bored." :Phantom Orchid chuckles Awiiya:Khalazdad turned to me, "Only those that are boring find themselves bored." Awiiya:"Khalazdad." Awiiya:"Yes, my Vizier? The one who I rely on to... do that thing that you do?" :Innocence snickers. Awiiya:"Can we play a game?" Awiiya:"No." :Brulant laughs quietly Innocence:Aww... Awiiya:"Okay. I wish there was a different Khalazdad were here. This gray is too stasis for my liking." Awiiya:Khalazdad sagely turned his head. He squatted on the ground, and withdrew a cube from his pocket. Seigheart:NO! Not the Triangle face! NEVER the Triangle face. I HATE it. Awiiya:"I live to serve," he said, and ate the cube. Awiiya:Khalazdad shouted, "NO! NOT THE TRIANGLE FACE!" Awiiya:"What?" I said, confused. Awiiya:"Oh sorry. It's... a vestigial effect of the Shade war. The triangles. They're wicked." :Brulant laughs :Kyphis laughs vocaly Awiiya:"I hate the Traingle face too." Awiiya:"Anyways. So I ate the cube..." :AmberRune laughs Je Suis Oeufs Fous:-Chuckles- Awiiya:And then POOF. In a shower of rainbows, Khalazdad the Gray become the one, and thankfully only, KHALAZDAD THE RAINBOW! :Innocence claps. Awiiya:Unicorns neighed in the distance. Cute puppies showered down from the sky. A kitten gently batted at a ball. :Brulant claps and laughs until he cries Phantom Orchid: Khalazdad the Rainbow! Awiiya:There were even Scottish Fold Kittens! :Handy Pockets falls to the ground laughing Awiiya:Khalazdad the Rainbow would go to no end to be adorable and entertaining! Innocence:Yay!! Awiiya:He started throwing flowers at me and saying, "You are just too snuggum umpkins good little poofkie!" :Innocence giggles. Awiiya:I, like you would in my situation, had no words. "Khalazdad... are you alright?" :Ryan Delphus laughs Awiiya:"I love to care for you my sweeet honey pumpkin oat. And you know that in a desert the best thing to do is TAN!" :Brulant laughs :Handy Pockets gasps for air :Ars Alchemy doesn't get it :ChildOfTheSoul wishes he had heard the first part of this story Awiiya:"And I have a gift for you, my Vizier. Well actually first you title is Vizor," and he handed me a hot pink visor with the words, Sentinel and Sassy on it. Awiiya:And the gift was a baby teacup Pomeranian (small cute dog) wearing pink ribbons, fallen asleep on top of a pillowcase covered in glitter Awiiya:The worst part about the situation was that the shades joined in. Shade Sentinel, a woman despite her arduous unisex look, told me that, "Necrovion had always lacked a woman's touch." Awiiya:It was too much to handle, and I had to find a way to cure him. Awiiya:So I did what anybody would do. I took Khalazdad, dressed him in a large cloak to conceal all the... rainbows... and took him to Sagewoman and her pub. Awiiya:"Sagewoman, please, help me. What makes a man a man?" Awiiya:The answer was obvious. Innocence:...a beer belly? Awiiya:"Smooching and beer." :Ryan Delphus smiles :Innocence cheers. Awiiya:Khalazdad chugged like he had never chugged before, gulping down pints and pints oh the amber liquid. Awiiya:And before you knew it, Khalazdad had become Khalazdad the Green. :Ars Alchemy laughs Awiiya:After barfing up the cube and sparkles, Khalazdad lay on the ground, as monochromatic as ever. Awiiya:When he awoke, I'd never been more happy to hear, "Greetings," and a long-winded incredibly moral tale. Awiiya: (end) :Brulant laughs and claps Brulant:Wonderful. Je Suis Oeufs Fous:-Claps- :Phantom Orchid claps :Sunfire claps smiling :Handy Pockets claps and wipes the tears away :Ryan Delphus claps heartily :Falronn claps :Sandra Klien wakes up suddenly at all the clapping Awiiya:Thank you. :AmberRune claps between wiping away tears :Innocence laughs and applauds. Bloodynose: (applauds) :ChildOfTheSoul claps Awiiya:Should we make one last story together to end of the Story Night, or does someone else have a story they'd like to finish us off with? Handy Pockets:YOu finished me off. I cannot stop laughing, well, okay I did. but still Awiiya: *laughs* BOO! Awiiya:Oh wait. That's hiccups. :Sandra Klien chuckles Ars Alchemy:On to the archives then? Innocence:If everyone agrees, we can create the story? Ars Alchemy:I'm game Innocence:Or most everyone... I guess... I think some might have fallen asleep... Bloodynose:mid day here ChildOfTheSoul:everyone? I'll help. Sandra Klien:A shame that, although... I'm not one to talk. Brulant:I'd love to help out. Innocence:I suppose I will start... and we'll see where it goes... Sandra Klien: *nods* As would I, if I can. Ryan Delphus:I'd love to participate more. Innocence:Once upon a time, in the realm of MagicDuel, in a lone tower... Innocence:Kets, please continue... Handy Pockets:was a trunk full of Phantom Orchid:tiny men Sandra Klien:made of tin Brulant:Who had a horrible grudge against :Innocence giggles. ChildOfTheSoul:an evil wizard that lived in the neighboring trunk. Phantom Orchid:Each day the evil wizard would... AmberRune:Throw shoes at them Brulant:And laugh while they cowered. Ars Alchemy:They were forced to mend the many shoes Bloodynose:but one day Falronn:They decided to do something about it Brulant:They had a not so sneaky plan to Ryan Delphus:, so they crowded together to form a plan. Ars Alchemy:No more! cried their leader. it's time we send the wizard a message. We need to send him our... Bloodynose:Tower Sandra Klien:made of paper meche Falronn:Lit on fire. :Innocence laughs. AmberRune:because fire solves everything Phantom Orchid:When they leader cried this out, there was much rejoicing, until... Brulant:The wizard threw some more shoes at them. Sandra Klien:and told them to "quit that racket!" Ars Alchemy:and the cycle started over again ChildOfTheSoul:except this time, things were different. Brulant:And thus, Ryan Delphus:These were bigger, boot-sized shoes now. ChildOfTheSoul:with spikes. :Ryan Delphus laughs Brulant:And steel toes. AmberRune:some had wheels in the bottoms Phantom Orchid:Tied with pink ribbons and lace Bloodynose:They said enough had ignited the tower, all the tin men were running everywhere until the wizard.......... ChildOfTheSoul:singed his beard off. Ryan Delphus:Ran out of shoes. ChildOfTheSoul:singed his beard off and ran out of shoes. Falronn:The wizard was so mad that he, Sandra Klien:threw the tin men out of the tower. Handy Pockets:And closed the lid of the trunk Brulant:What the wizard overlooked, however, was that… AmberRune:They still had the key to get in Falronn:So the tiny men opened the door and Brulant:Crept up while the wizard was asleep… Sandra Klien:All 100 gazillion of them. With... ChildOfTheSoul:especially quiet slippers. Bloodynose:and a mini drachorn tin tank AmberRune:When they all piled in... ChildOfTheSoul:they found the chest to be already filled to the brim with shoes. Brulant:Then the leader had an idea. They could turn the tables on the wizard! Falronn:They all picked up a shoe Ars Alchemy:and let fly ChildOfTheSoul:and it dropped perfectly on top of the wizard's sleeping head. Sandra Klien:This was followed shortly by... Bloodynose:in the most brutal form of shoe throwing Ars Alchemy:which covered the wizard completely Innocence: *giggles.* You might want to look for an ending soon... Ars Alchemy:until he suffocated ChildOfTheSoul:until he became what he feared most. Brulant:And he never arose again. Ars Alchemy:dead. ChildOfTheSoul:a giant pile of shoes. the end :Innocence applauds. Bloodynose:tin men win :Sandra Klien giggles :Ars Alchemy claps :Falronn claps ChildOfTheSoul:yay. :Sandra Klien claps Innocence:Wonderful!! ChildOfTheSoul:always the underdogs, those tin men. :AmberRune claps :Handy Pockets claps :Brulant claps :ChildOfTheSoul claps :Princess Katt claps :[Spell] The earth has music for those who listen[/spoiler] ============================================= Poetry Slam: ========================= [spoiler] Poetry Slam: :Tarquinus scowls Tarquinus:'tis time. Tarquinus:Keith Moon is caught in the underway mud, and shall join us when he is able. Darigan:Let the slamming of poetry begin! Tarquinus:I have offered to take his place. Innocence:Poor Moonpie... Innocence:I dunno, Luci... you're kinda... kinda like a downer... :Innocence suppresses a giggle. *Mya Celestia*:Moonpie sounds like some sort of dessert Darigan:it is Tarquinus:We will begin with a poem he wrote for one who was once the Master Archivist, and for whom he would die or endure anything in creation. Tarquinus:The piece has no title. Tarquinus:Portray an amaranthine sprite as free Tarquinus:As midnight summer foliage uncurls, Tarquinus:Majestic, a high priestess draped in pearls Tarquinus:Portentous like the fronds she turns to you, Tarquinus:Lascivious with passions hitherto Tarquinus:Embodied in a sparkle-dappled stream. Tarquinus:Magenta stretches silk, serene desire Tarquinus:Occluded by composure strong as steel, Tarquinus:Unknown but intimated by the deep Tarquinus:Suggestion of a soul of honeyed cream. Tarquinus:Surprised, you apprehend a diorama Tarquinus:Exceeding all the artifice of sleep. :Innocence claps politely. :Falronn claps Tarquinus:That is the poem he has offered. Others may read theirs now, or I shall read another, submitted by one who cannot attend to-day. *Mya Celestia*: *sighs* I wish someone would write a poem like that about me Innocence:Anyone? Innocence:Anyone else have a prepared poem? Seigheart:I have a poem Tarquinus:Please, share. Seigheart:Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, My Loincloth is Dirty, it smells like Glue. :Seigheart bows :Tarquinus winces but claps politely Seigheart:I have shared. *winks* :Seigheart snickers Innocence: *giggles and then points at Ziggy.* Ziggy! No! Bad Ziggy!! :xrieg shed a tear Seigheart:Xrieg, was that because of the smell, or my awesome poem? Tarquinus:Any others? Jolla:Zen's coming she has one Keith Moon:Howdy. Sorry I'm late. Keith Moon:What'd I miss? ZenTao: *bows* hello Seigheart:My poem! Innocence:You missed Luci being all... stiff in the bad way and Ziggy being bad in a funny way... :Tarquinus frowns at Innocence Tarquinus:I hesitate to ask what is stiff in a 'good way'. ZenTao: *smiles* hi X xrieg:Seigheart, your poem of course :-) Keith Moon:Luke ain't known for his party animal ways, Inno. Amoran K Kol:You are indeed late, Keith, but it is good to see you.

ZenTao:no prob Innocence:Please show respect to the others who are sharing their art. Innocence:Do not interrupt them...like I just did... and keep conversation to a minimum. Innocence:Moonpie is running this event, so please listen to his directions. :Amoran K Kol nods to Innocence and quietly moves to take her place next to Lucius. Innocence: *bows.* I apologize, Zen... Moonpie... Keith Moon:Silence is appreciated. Innocence: *steps back.* Please begin again. ZenTao:Shall i start again from the beginning Keith Moon:Zen, the floor is yours. Start over, if you don't mind. ZenTao:/\okay thank you ZenTao:titled Life ZenTao:As I child I would lay in the soft grass smelling the sweet summer air Looking at the big blue sky ZenTao:slowly the day would give way to the night All those little lights would appear so very very far away from here ZenTao:somehow knowing they are too far away to reach too far away to see anything but their soft sparkle in the indigo sky I could look for hours trace the constellations ZenTao:and imagine the mysteries that beheld my eyes how could anything exist in our minds that was not someplace out there? as a product of this universe it just would make sense ZenTao:that there is nothing we could think of that doesn't already exist someplace and with that I dream. what a wonderful place. ZenTao:~end~ :Innocence smiles and claps. :Keith Moon claps softly :Falronn claps ZenTao: *smiles* thanks :Amoran K Kol claps, smiling at ZenTao. Seigheart:Nice Seigheart:I liked that. :Awiiya claps his branches and tries to make himself comfortable on the ground Bloodynose:You made it Awiiya (applauds) ZenTao:glad to share :Kyphis claps :Tarquinus applauds ZenTao's poem Falronn:Woah, hello Awiiya. Awiiya:Hello. Keith Moon:Thank you, Zen. Kyphis:A tree may be rooted, but he to a book Ars Alchemy: *gasp* a walking tree! Awiiya:It's not often I move. Because it hurts. And is disgraceful. But this is not far, and there's not much viscosity at all. Bloodynose:hopping tree ZenTao: *cheers* to you Awiiya to us all... Innocence:You say that like you've never seen a walking tree before... Keith Moon:Any other pre-prepared poems to read? Ars Alchemy:I wrote a poem this morning Kyphis:I have one, although I only wrote it a moment ago Ars Alchemy:although it's only a haiku :ZenTao listens Keith Moon:Ars, go ahead. Kyphis, you're next. :Amoran K Kol quietly twirls a strand of hair between her fingers, listening intently. Ars Alchemy:The sad fact is Ars Alchemy:poems are improvement Ars Alchemy:from normal sh*t. Ars Alchemy:it's slightly out of context, but there it is :Innocence giggles. :Kyphis chuckles Innocence:You're terrible! Just like Ziggy! :Keith Moon smiles and claps :Handy Pockets claps ZenTao: * raises eyebrow* indeed xrieg:beautiful :-) I would only add a single word to rhyme better... 'some' Keith Moon:Kyphis, once the chatter dies down, your work will be heard. Ars Alchemy: *bow* ty all :ZenTao claps :Amoran K Kol claps softly, chuckling. :Kyphis clears his throat Kyphis:Flowing on a wayward breeze Kyphis:The rising tide of thought Kyphis:Through the minds of all Kyphis:It runs its course Kyphis:. Kyphis:Listen to the call it sounds Kyphis:Floating in the air Kyphis:Calling to all around Kyphis:Yet not to it all listen Kyphis:. Kyphis:The call will fall Kyphis:Upon the step of many minds Kyphis:Yet to die as dust does settle Kyphis:Upon its fleeing voice. :Kyphis returns to the crowd :Innocence nods and claps. :Falronn claps Keith Moon: *claps softly* Thank you, Kyphis. :Ars Alchemy claps :*Shemhazaj* claps ZenTao: *cheers* nice one! :Awiiya claps Kyphis: Dedicated to Awiiya and his persistent desire for ever more poetry. Awiiya: Ah. Thank you *Shemhazaj*:uhm... hi... I just got here... is it too late to participate as well?

Innocence:And then we all point at Burns and laugh. :Innocence grins at Burns. Kyphis:Do we each get our own theme, or the same one? Keith Moon:Since Inno has selected the AL as the overall theme, I'll pick something from it, and you have about 10 minutes to write. Kyphis:And I assume you will tell us when we are to present? Awiiya:Do we have to actually relate it to the AL or can we just use it as a jumping off point Keith Moon:Everybody gets his own theme. You'll PM them to me when you're finished, and I'll have you read them in turn - that way, everybody has about the same amount of time to write. Keith Moon:You can do whatever you are moved to do with it, Awi. Kyphis:Sounds fair :Ars Alchemy scouts around for blank paper Awiiya:Okay, sounds good. Innocence:Kets and I are ready to go!

Your egg will be ready to hatch in about a —trillion— days, when you’ll see —clowns— spread across its surface. As the hatchling struggles to break free, you’ll see a tiny —forearm— poking out of the egg. This causes many people to —die.— After the newly hatch drachorn has fully emerged from its egg, it’s time for a name. Many people choose names like —Smoochkiller— or —Passant,— but anything will do. But now that your drachorn has hatched, what do you do? It’s time for —weaving!— The diet of a baby drachorn can vary. Some prefer small —chairs— while others seem to go for —Grassan— meat. I once heard a tale about a newly hatched drachorn that tried to eat a —hat— twice its size! You’ll know your baby drachorn is full when it gazes at you —carefully.— It’s also important to make sure your baby drachorn gets plenty of —learning.— You should provide it with an —awesome— bed to sleep on. When possible, you should place some personal objects around it, like an old shirt or some —wall papers— you had when you were younger. The last, and most important, thing you must give a newly hatch drachorn is love so that the two of you can grow —childish— together. SmartAlekRJ's Notes—the Care of Drachorns: Growing Up and Acting Out Now that your drachorn has grown, it’s time to teach it how to fight —insanely— as well as defend you from others. One thing you can try is to use a different language to teach it commands. Simple examples would be —supercalafragilistic— for attack, —flabbergasted— for sit, and —AmberRune— for retreat. The intelligence of the average drachorn is rather high. Because of this, you can set up training —cows— dressed in clothing to simulate opponents. Start out with one or —42— at first, so as not to overwhelm your drachorn. As it gets more comfortable with the experience, feel free to add a few more. It’s important to reward productive training sessions with treats. Sometimes a simple pat on the —left big toe— is good enough. For exceptional displays, tossing your drachorn some —Air Scout— treats or preparing a bowl of —tables— would reinforce the learning. Discipline is important for a growing drachorn. After all, you don’t want it —skulking— your neighbor’s —ignorance.— Teach your drachorn respect by staring into its —inner thigh— until it lowers its head. By doing this, you let it know you’re the —scepter.— It’s also important to discipline when necessary. Keep a rolled up —spork— on you at all times and smack your drachorn on the nose with it should it misbehave. For the worst offenses, placing your drachorn in a —shoe— for —11— minutes should deter such behavior in the future. The Summoning of Wodin Once upon a time, there lived a great wizard in Golemus named —Jolla.— This wizard predicted the rise of the —apples— in the lands of Necrovion. To prevent them from appearing and —soaring— across the land, the wizard thought about summoning a great hero. To stop this, though, the Shades sent many —children— against the wizard. The first to go was —Fyrd.— But after seeing the wizard, he decided against it and left. On his way out of Golemus, though, he was attacked and taken to —Marind Bell,— and then left to the darkness. The next two sent were —Tipu— and —Windy.— Upon reaching the wizard, —Tipu— tried to strike, but failed, finding himself in a —house,— knowing he had to escape. —Windy— however, took a different approach, asking to be the wizard’s —cook.— He agreed, sending her on a quest to find the —Cardboard Box— of Principles. Now that the wizard had no one against him, he focused on his work. Chanting —randomly— and burning —swords,— the wizard worked on summoning a great hero. As a figure began to form in his —bathroom,— he focused the light from the sun on it using —sushi.— The wizard —wasted— and exclaimed —“Humbug!— I’ve done it!” Just as that happened, Omegaweapon emerged from the shadows and struck down the wizard. But from out of the —castle,— Wodin stepped forth, the greatest —rock— the land would ever know. I am Bored: A Cautionary Tale I am Bored was a —tiny— man. He liked to cause mischief, such as trying to eat whole —wings— in one bite or discovering secrets he shouldn’t have. One day, in the Marble Dale —Love,— several figures in golden masks were seen —keeping— after I am Bored. They caught him —happily— and took him to a —dark— room. When he awoke, he found himself —chunky— and alone. He called out, “Hello?! It’s dark here! Hello, anyone?” The only other person in the room with him was —Handy Pockets.— I am Bored continued to call out, asking for help, if anyone could hear him. —Handy Pockets— became annoyed and left. I am Bored, —earsplitting— and unsure what to do, saw some —wells— on some bookshelves. Being cold, he thought, “Books are made of —cithara— and burn —forever.— I’ll build a fire and not be —striped— anymore!” And that is what he did. In the glow of the fire he’d built, I am Bored was drawn to one —tail— in particular that he hadn’t tossed into the flames. He opened it and saw a picture of an —elemental— and said, —“Woot!”— Turning the page, he saw another picture, this time of an —xreig.— “I always thought those were —sleepless—-looking…” Each page contained the image of a different creature. The Aramor, the Barren —War,— and even the legendary —Colorblind— Drachorn! I am Bored was amazed! Deciding it was time to go home, I am Bored closed his new found —foot— and entered a long dark —ship.— He talked to himself during his trip because… well, because that’s what he does… Upon exciting he found himself in the —bedroom— of the Archives. “Ah! Light! Freedom!” Bored —absentmindedly——swam— up the stairs and out of the building, not eager to repeat an adventure like that again. How to Contact the Shades The most important thing to remember when trying to contact —socks— is that they are —fantastic— and will reflect what is in the —neck— of the one who seeks them. Step One, Ritual Purification: First one must travel to —the Tribunal— and seek out the purest waters there. One must fill a —hammer— with this water and meditate over it for —48— days. After this time, the one who seeks an audience with the Shades should dip their —right ear— into the water and put on a clean —skirt.— Step Two, Seeking an Audience: Once the purification ritual is finished, one must —steam— to the —tarot— of Necrovion, the —Massacring— Gates! Once there, one must kneel and say something like, “My name is —Brulant!— I seek the shades and their —mask.— I —audibly— offer myself to your service.” Step Three, Waiting: It’s important to know how to wait as shades are —colorful— beings. They might grant an audience after only —105— minutes, though it might take considerably longer. To pass the time, simple games like “How many —hairs— am I holding up?” or “I spy” can help. Reading a —stone— or two while waiting is also a good idea. And, of course, —growing— with those who pass by is also acceptable. If you are —purple,— the shades will grant you and audience. Be sure to treat them with respect by saying “Hail, —Dude!— I —happily— greet you!” while keeping your eyes on the —dream.— If you are unlucky and the shades choose to ignore you, then you can always get a job as an —engineer— at Windy’s Pub.[/spoiler] ================ Edited September 8, 2011 by Fyrd Argentus boxed Phantom Orchid 1
