Rophs Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Please do not post ITT unless you are posting logs from seedwalks. Logs from 12/8/13 Oak: [spoiler] : Rophs curls up in Awi's roots and waits for more people to arrive Rophs: Inside a dead tree Rophs: Not a dead one, just sleepy Rophs: Why won't he wake up? : Rophs quietly mourns Awi's deep slumber : Change dunnos : Rophs notices Change : Rophs waves to Change : Rophs gets up from the roots and brushes himself off Rophs: Who tells a story first? Change: Not it? : Rophs nods I'll tell a story first then. walks over to the Oak and sits down facing it cross legged Rophs: *turns to Change* What should my story be about? Change: Hmm Change: Growing up : Rophs nods Rophs: The grass is full of little insects and bugs. There are worms, beetles, caterpillars, and ants. Rophs: Worm are normally very weak but spend most of their time underground out of harm's way. Rophs: Beetles have a tough shell to protect them from damage and look very intimidating. Rophs: Ants have immense strength and number in the hundreds, when one falls two will take its place. Rophs: Caterpillars on the other hand are weak like worms but spend most of their time above ground, exposed to the elements. Rophs: Very often a caterpillar will be bulled throughout its younger years by the ants and beetles, while the worms laugh from below. Rophs: Many people who are bullied surround themselves in a metaphorical "shell". Rophs: They will isolate themselves from others fearing their attackers, many will dream of flying up and away from those who bully them. Rophs: Caterpillars are no different. Rophs: Caterpillars will one day grow a metaphorical shell so thick that it become physical. Rophs: They will turn upside down an a leaf, curl up, and grow a shell. While inside of the shell a caterpillar will enter a deep sleep. It is said they dream of flying during this time. Rophs: Eventually the caterpillar will wake up, and break open the shell. Rophs: There isn't a happiness greater that that of a butterfly who can fly above those who bullied them and show off their majestic wings. Rophs: The end. Rophs: *waves to concussion* Will you be telling a story? : Change snaps fingers instead of clapping Rophs: Change, tell the Oak a story about Tolerance. Change: Tolerance Change: There was once two neighbors who lived across from each other. Change: One of them liked to plant cute little pink bushes. The other neighbor hated cute little pink bushes. Change: So, one day, the one neighbor walked over to the other neighbor and said: Change: Hey, I see that you have some little pink bushes. Change: Yes, said the other neighbor. I do. Change: Well, they're a little too pink for my liking. Change: Oh, I'm sorry, said the other neighbor. I'll take care of it right away. Change: Good, said the neighbor. She walked away. Change: Then, the one neighbor promptly dug up two little pink bushes. Change: The one neighbor woke up the next morning and looked out her window at the other neighbor's lawn. Change: She saw that there were two less little pink bushes. Change: 'Why I otta!' she started to say. Change: What she didn't know, is the one neighbor had had to rush to the hospital to take care of his dying grandmother's aunt. Change: But the one neighbor couldn't tolerate the little pink bushes any longer Change: So she dug them up using the shovel on the lawn. Change: A couple of days later, the aunt was being brought back from the hospital. Change: 'I do hope you're better' Change: 'Oh, I'll be fine. All I need to cheer me up is to see those little pink bushes of yours.' Change: When the aunt got driven up to the house Change: She fainted.

Rophs: *chuckles* Let's hope the Maple doesn't. : Ackshan Bemunah pours out a torrent of -- hopefully harmless -- alcohol for the tree. Ackshan Bemunah: (and some water -- mostly water, I hope -- of course.) : Change watches the tree die in her mind : Rophs wishes he had the rain spell Ackshan Bemunah: *watches the tree's pain dissipate, but is unsure whether it was NUMBED or SATED. : Change wishes she had the rain spell Ackshan Bemunah: Change, I still have it stuck in my head that you're male.

Ackshan Bemunah: *looks at Change and still sees a female shape, shrugs, turns back to Maple.* The worst part was when it dawned on me that I'm probably going to be extremely unwealthy in the near future. : Change has pretty triangular hips Ackshan Bemunah: *nods* Anyone else? Rophs: I think the Maple just witnessed the most interesting part of my day... Rophs: Change, what was the most inspiring and most dissapointing parts about your day? Change: Doing too much : Change falls asleep : Rophs nods Rophs: How about you Sie? Any part of your day that really popped out at you?Rophs: How about you Sie? Any part of your day that really popped out at you? : Ackshan Bemunah looks closely at the view, trying to locate the sanctuary..."What an un-aptly named scene!"

Spruce: [spoiler]: Rophs sits down next to the Spruce : Ackshan Bemunah passes Rophs the keg, then sprints off into the aramory : Rophs spills a bit of alcohol from the Keg onto the Spruce's roots Change: *whispers to the Spruce* I have a secret. Rophs has forgotten to water you for ... awhile now : Rophs stashes the keg on the other side of the wall out of view Rophs: *whispers to the Spruce* I don't know how I'm going to sail west. : Ackshan Bemunah walks over to the crowd next to the spruce, pushes them away violently, and whispers something to the spruce. Rophs: (cheater :P) Ackshan Bemunah: But don't tell them. It's a secret. : Ackshan Bemunah backs away. Rophs: Good night both of you. : Rophs walks off [/spoiler] Walk is not done, logs will be added as we walk.

[22/12/13 02:29] Bash Chelik:i like stories:) [22/12/13 02:29] Rophs:A very long time ago Awiiya planted four (roleplay) seeds across MD. [22/12/13 02:30] Rophs:He planted the Oak here, the Maple at Sanctuary's View, the Willow at Willow's Walk, and the Spruce at Old Man's Road [22/12/13 02:30] Rophs:He was going away for the summer so he asked Handy Pockets to water the seeds for him in his abscence. [22/12/13 02:31] Rophs:Kets gladly oblidged and Awi went on his way, but without telling Kets where the seeds were. [22/12/13 02:32] Rophs:To make sure the seeds were watered Kets would fill up a bucket at Marnid's Roundabout and then carry it around sploshing water every which way [22/12/13 02:32] Rophs:The seeds were watered [22/12/13 02:32] Rophs:Awi came back and brought Kets to each of the seeds. [22/12/13 02:32] Rophs:At the Oak they would tell stories [22/12/13 02:32] Rophs:They would tell the happenings of the day at the Maple [22/12/13 02:33] Rophs:Poetry to the Willow [22/12/13 02:33] Rophs:and Secrets to the Spruce [22/12/13 02:33] Rophs:They did that every night for a very long time. [22/12/13 02:33] Rophs:I asked Kets to teach me about the seeds a few months ago and she brought me on a seedwalk. [22/12/13 02:34] Rophs:I've been having seedwalks semi-regularly ever since. [22/12/13 02:34] Rophs:" [22/12/13 02:34] Rophs:With that said, would you like to tell a story to the Oak? [22/12/13 02:35] Bash Chelik:hmm, interesting stuff..

[22/12/13 02:47] Bash Chelik:they flew over stars, holding hands of each other, it was ordinary thing, to see, but for this boy, it was magic [22/12/13 02:48] Bash Chelik:she told him that this is the last time they are together and that marind will never be able to see boy again [22/12/13 02:48] Bash Chelik:although being happy for his sight, something blurred the vision of young boy..

[05/01/14 04:12] Intrigue:Now, normally, when a little froggy hops away, they hop in one direction... forward. [05/01/14 04:13] Intrigue:This poor little froggy though, he was hopping left and right and to and fro, and unknown to him, he just wasn't going anywhere at all. [05/01/14 04:13] Intrigue:Of course, all this hopping, and not getting anywhere, just made him all the more obvious to a strange little girl who liked to scoop up froggies and take them home. [05/01/14 04:14] Intrigue:That was the beginning of this poor little froggy's unluck streak. [05/01/14 04:14] Intrigue:not only did the little girl take the poor little froggy home, but she kept him there in a box that smelled of old rotten socks. [05/01/14 04:15] Intrigue:All night, the little froggy wriggled around in this box, looking for a way out. [05/01/14 04:15] Intrigue:Eventually, he grew tired, and fell asleep. [05/01/14 04:16] Intrigue:While he was sleeping, the little girl opened the box, and thinking the frog had died, she took it outside and dumped it out. [05/01/14 04:16] Intrigue:Well, little froggy was so exhausted, he just laid there. [05/01/14 04:17] Intrigue:Then... it began to rain. But not just regular rain. Big huge drops the size of buckets! [05/01/14 04:18] Intrigue:The poor little frog was swept away by the flood of rain into a feild. [05/01/14 04:19] Intrigue:Just as quickly as it started, the rain stopped, and the little frog looked around, wondering how far he was from home. Unfortunately, froggy's are very short, so... all he could see was grass. [05/01/14 04:19] Intrigue:He hopped and hopped and hopped, but alas, he was just plain lost. [05/01/14 04:19] Intrigue:Then... he hopped right into what he thought was a very furry tree. [05/01/14 04:20] Intrigue:It turned out to be a cow. The cow didn't care for being hopped into, and SPLAT! dropped a cowpie right on the little froggy. The end. [05/01/14 04:20] Rophs: *frowns* Poor little frogy. [05/01/14 04:20] Rophs:I'll tell one now, give me a topic! [05/01/14 04:21] Intrigue:he had a bad case of unluck *shrugs* [05/01/14 04:21] Intrigue: *thinks for a moment* Grass. [05/01/14 04:21] :Change shuffles around on the grass, trying to get comfortable [05/01/14 04:22] :Rophs sits down next to the Oak and thinks hard [05/01/14 04:22] :Intrigue wonders if the archives still has the mattresses from the mattress races in the basement [05/01/14 04:23] Rophs:The tiny men aren't so tiny after all. [05/01/14 04:23] Rophs:We are giant, the tiny men are normal, and the real tiny men are simply too small to be seen. [05/01/14 04:23] Rophs:To a miniman a blade of grass is taller than deathmarrow. [05/01/14 04:24] Rophs:With every footstep one might crush up to a hundred minimen. [05/01/14 04:24] Rophs:Some people think that we grew from these minimen. [05/01/14 04:25] Rophs:The legend tells that a miniman once stood on top of a blade of grass and hung off in such a way that his arms streched to be very long. [05/01/14 04:25] Rophs:He streched his legs in the same way [05/01/14 04:26] Rophs:Then his body [05/01/14 04:26] Rophs:Then his neck [05/01/14 04:26] Rophs:Thus, the first tiny man was born [05/01/14 04:26] Rophs:We're not sure what tiny men streched on to become normal men though [05/01/14 04:27] Rophs:But we're pretty sure that [05/01/14 04:27] Rophs:hmm.... [05/01/14 04:27] Rophs:We don't think we can grow much more. [05/01/14 04:27] :Rophs nods [05/01/14 04:27] Rophs:That is how I might exist. [05/01/14 04:27] Rophs:Any others?

[05/01/14 04:34] Change:Any kind of wonder? [05/01/14 04:34] Rophs:Any kind at all. [05/01/14 04:35] Change:There once was a person, sitting by a tree. [05/01/14 04:36] Change:He was watching the grey clouds in the sky, wondering why they never moved. [05/01/14 04:36] Change:As he was watching, someone else walked towards him and sat down beside him. [05/01/14 04:37] Change:This someone looked at the man, and wondered about what the man was thinking about. [05/01/14 04:38] Change:After trying to figure it out for awhile, the person looked at the clouds and began to wonder why they were gray. [05/01/14 04:39] Change:This went on for several hours, with new people sitting down beside the man and wondering about things like the clouds, the tree, the grass. [05/01/14 04:40] Change:Then, the man got up. [05/01/14 04:40] Change:"I'm hungry", he said. [05/01/14 04:40] Change:Everybody sitting by the tree groaned. [05/01/14 04:40] Change:The end [05/01/14 04:41] :Rophs chuckles [05/01/14 04:41] Rophs:On to the Maple then? [05/01/14 04:41] Intrigue: *smiles and nods* That story made me hungry...

[11/01/14 09:34] Rophs:This story will be about lonliness, [11/01/14 09:35] Rophs:You're probably pretty familiar with the concept of being alone. [11/01/14 09:35] Rophs:You're a little sapling in a field far away from all of the other trees, and yet across the road from you is a snoring stump named Awiiya. [11/01/14 09:36] Rophs:If you had eyes you might notice that Awiiya has a trunk, and branches. But I don't mean Awiiya is a literal stumop. [11/01/14 09:36] Rophs:Awiiya is a figurative stump. [11/01/14 09:37] Rophs:When I was a young mp3 I would visit Awiiya many times a week, and I'd spend many a night talking with him. [11/01/14 09:37] Rophs: *chuckles* Perhaps you even eavesdropped on us some days. [11/01/14 09:37] Rophs:Awiiya had me fetch some things for him too. [11/01/14 09:38] Rophs:In my Public Logs he wrote for me to bring him a few things. [11/01/14 09:38] Rophs:A rock, a leaf, a shadow, and Brulant. [11/01/14 09:39] Rophs: *points to a pedestal shaped root with a lumpy rock on it* I brought that from Golemus Golemicarum [11/01/14 09:39] Rophs: *pulls a dry flaking leaf from his pocket* I got this from Ravenhold in Loreroot. I've been waiting to give it to Awi for many months now. [11/01/14 09:39] Rophs:Every time I come here, Awiiya is silent. [11/01/14 09:39] Rophs:I feel incredibly lonely.

[19/01/14 05:40] Rophs: *cringes* Only when I forget that it's happening the first time it's supposed to happen... [19/01/14 05:40] Curiose:Its okay. We all make mistakes. [19/01/14 05:40] :Rophs nods [19/01/14 05:40] Rophs:Were you around when Awi and Kets did their daily Seedwalks? [19/01/14 05:41] Curiose:Not sure. [19/01/14 05:42] Curiose:I was about a year and a half when I got terribly burnt out. And have popped in and out every now and then. [19/01/14 05:42] Rophs: *nods* Do you know what is done at a Seedwalk? [19/01/14 05:42] Curiose:nope, but from what I gather, story telling [19/01/14 05:43] Rophs:That's part of what happens. [19/01/14 05:43] Rophs:There are four seeds. [19/01/14 05:43] Rophs:The Oak is right over there *points to the side of the road opposite to Awi* [19/01/14 05:44] Rophs:The Maple is down at Santuary's View [19/01/14 05:44] Rophs:The Willow is at Willow's Walk [19/01/14 05:44] Rophs:And the Spruce is at Old Man's Road [19/01/14 05:45] Curiose:oh, I see. [19/01/14 05:46] Rophs:I'm sure you'll have no problem telling the Oak a story, so let's make this a little bit more difficult... [19/01/14 05:47] Rophs:Tell a story about Kyphis doing evil things. *grins*[19/01/14 05:47] Curiose:That's easy. [19/01/14 05:47] Curiose:My brain doesn't feel much like being stretched right now, so it won't be the best work. [19/01/14 05:48] Curiose:however.... Kyphis is an evil monstrosity heard of across the land. He is so evil and cruel that not even Eon compares. What is it that this man does? Why... I will tell you. [19/01/14 05:49] Curiose:He's a no good, dirty rotten, god forsakened land lubbering fool hardy..- I'm getting ahead of myself here. He hides things. [19/01/14 05:49] Curiose:Yes. He hides things. [19/01/14 05:50] Curiose:He hides things in such a tantalizing way that is so inscrutably delicious that you just want to bite it. Like a fat, juicy tomato. (oops, did I say tomato?) [19/01/14 05:51] Curiose:He fishes and he dangles it, and he tosses out the "You must find it yourself, young obi-wan." card. The nerve! [19/01/14 05:51] Curiose:And he does it so carefully... you never know you're being strung along this juicy trail. [19/01/14 05:51] Curiose:And off he goes... doing what Kyphis does. Being all mysterious and all that jazz. pfft. [19/01/14 05:52] Curiose:And... that is what kyphis does, that is cruel and malignantly evil. [19/01/14 05:54] Curiose:End transmission.

Curiose: oh poo, I have to move, too? Rophs: I suppose I can give you a piggyback ride as long as you aren't too heavy. Rophs: Then I'll do the moving for both of us. Curiose: I just feel so lazy right now. Rophs: Too lazy to hop on someone's back? Geez! Rophs: *pokes the Mushroom* Are you alive? Curiose: Kinda. I picked runescape back up, haha. sorry Curiose: And I'm thinking i'm gonna cook me some food. Rophs: Cook it after the Seedwalk...

Curiose Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I just want it to be known that Kyphis and I are on good terms. The above is just a related experience I had when I first joined, and I got a lot of information that, while it intrigued me to high heavens, didn't really lead to fruition. He's a tricky bugger. : p Kyphis the Bard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[10/02/14 02:07] Awiiya: (I know) [10/02/14 02:07] Rophs:Golemus beaches have lots boats on them. [10/02/14 02:08] Rophs:One of the most notable of those boats is the ship located at Wraiths Wreak. [10/02/14 02:08] Rophs:Long ago that very ship rose from the sea with the bodies of 100 Empty Aramors on board, give or take a few. [10/02/14 02:09] Rophs:A messenger noticed the ship and reported it immediately to Grido, three days in advance the Golemians had time to prepare. [10/02/14 02:10] Rophs:I'm not exactly sure what happened during those three days, but according to what I've read the Aramors sort of 'took over' Golemus in the sense that their presence outnumbered everybody else. [10/02/14 02:11] Rophs:The Empty Aramors have almost always been silent, save Abra. Abra has talked to Falronn a little bit about trying to leave Golemus. [10/02/14 02:11] Rophs:Whenever Abra crosses the Bridge of Ages from GG into NML he gets sent back soon afterwards. [10/02/14 02:12] Rophs:After much deliberation the community decided they don't know enough about the Empty Aramors to free them from their island prison. [10/02/14 02:12] Rophs:The known parts of this story end there, and the rest of it is in the future. [10/02/14 02:12] Rophs:Now is normally when I'd tell you "The end." but the story isn't done. [10/02/14 02:13] Rophs:To be continued. [10/02/14 02:13] :Intrigue smiles [10/02/14 02:13] :Awiiya nods [10/02/14 02:13] :Sir Blut claps [10/02/14 02:13] :Rophs stands up from next to the Oak and walks across the path back under Awi [10/02/14 02:14] Rophs:Who shall tell the next story? [10/02/14 02:14] Intrigue:I can, if you will give me a suggestion. [10/02/14 02:15] Rophs: *nods* Tell a story about jubliee. [10/02/14 02:16] Intrigue: *plucks a pebble from the edge of the path and rolls it between her fingers* Hmm... [10/02/14 02:16] Intrigue:Long ago, far away and high in the mountains, there was a clutch of dragons [10/02/14 02:17] Intrigue:At the foot of the mountains, there lived a band of giants, and in the mountain itself, there lived a tribe of wee little folk. [10/02/14 02:18] Intrigue:One day, the smallest of the dragons was overcome by curiousity, and decided to look about, and so he flew down the mountain and soared through the valley below. [10/02/14 02:19] Intrigue:While he was looking here and there, he noticed a hole in the mountainside, the entrance of a cave, and decended, so he might peek inside. [10/02/14 02:19] Intrigue:Slowly, he crept forward, not knowing what was within the hole... [10/02/14 02:20] Intrigue:But, alas, it was dark as night within, and the little dragon could see nothing at all. So, as any smart dragon would do, he puffed a bit of fire into the hole to see what was within. [10/02/14 02:21] Intrigue:Just as he had done so, the fire flew back out at him, and startled him something terrible! [10/02/14 02:21] Intrigue:All the little dragon could think of was that there was a big dragon inside, and the little dragon knew he did not want to be caught by one of the elders so he took to flight immediately [10/02/14 02:22] Intrigue:Unknown to the dragon though, there was no big dragon, only a group of the little folk who lived within the mountain. "they've convinced the dragons to join their cause!" they shouted to one another. [10/02/14 02:23] Intrigue:Preferring to not become flame broiled dwarves, they fled back into the heart of the mountain. [10/02/14 02:25] Intrigue:A spy from the giants overheard the commotion and the calls, and smiled to himself as he ran back to his band of brothers. [10/02/14 02:25] Intrigue:"The war is over, the dwarves were dissuaded by a stray dragon and the war is won by luck alone!" [10/02/14 02:26] Intrigue:And all that night, and for a week afterwards, there was a great rejoicing among the giants, for the little folk within the mountain would trouble them no more. [10/02/14 02:28] Intrigue:And so, as time went by, the 100th anniversary of the "luck war" is celebrated throughout the lands of the giants, and the great jubilee rattles even the mountains. [10/02/14 02:28] Intrigue: *speaks seriously* Which is also where the earth shakes come from... [10/02/14 02:28] :Intrigue nods, smiles and flicks the pebble down the road [10/02/14 02:29] :Sir Blut smiles and applauds [10/02/14 02:29] :Awiiya claps [10/02/14 02:30] :Rophs chuckles [10/02/14 02:30] Awiiya:Shall I tell a quick one? [10/02/14 02:30] Rophs:Go for it Awi. [10/02/14 02:30] Intrigue:Oh please do! [10/02/14 02:30] Sir Blut:Yes [10/02/14 02:30] Rophs:Then we'll meet your sapling. [10/02/14 02:30] :Awiiya nods [10/02/14 02:31] Awiiya:On a rocky cliff, in the middle of the ocean, existed, an old woman. She, with her spindled hands and spun sweaters would look out her window at the seas below. [10/02/14 02:31] Awiiya:Sailors knew her as the woman on the rock, and would bring her food and water from the main land for free. They respected her because she had no beginning, and knew no end. [10/02/14 02:32] Awiiya:Seagulls flew in circles above her thatched and constantly repaired roof - and each dawn when she raised her sore limbs and callused feet from bed, and each dusk when she fell asleep in front of a [10/02/14 02:32] Awiiya:quieting fire, she would go outside and fling bread to the birds, sometimes just a few crumbs, sometimes a loaf, depending on the goodwill on the sailors. [10/02/14 02:33] Awiiya:She sang out to them as she did, "To you I feed today, for me tomorrow you must feed!" [10/02/14 02:34] Awiiya:When the sailors ceased coming one winter, she ran out of food. The waves had grown restless and the routes of the normal travels called for other ports and coasts. [10/02/14 02:34] Awiiya:When her stomach could rumble no more, and when the seagulls had begun their gyres at ever decreasing altitudes, she knew the day had come to call to them. [10/02/14 02:34] Awiiya:She opened her door, softly padded onto the grass, and called to them. [10/02/14 02:35] Awiiya:"Yesterday I fed you, today me you must feed!" [10/02/14 02:35] Awiiya:The gulls cried, the seas tossed, and they began to swoop lower and lower to her. [10/02/14 02:35] Awiiya:Their beaks began to just barely graze her cheek [10/02/14 02:36] Awiiya:Until one took a bite of her eye. And then an ear. A cheek. Hair. Clothes. A whirlwind of wings and nothing, no noise or sound but flutterings and winged bodies beating each other away. [10/02/14 02:36] :Awiiya end [10/02/14 02:36] :Rophs shudders [10/02/14 02:36] Intrigue: *looks at him with wide eyes* I thought they were going to bring her food... [10/02/14 02:36] Rophs:I though she would eat them. [10/02/14 02:36] Awiiya:Oh no. They're birds. [10/02/14 02:37] :Sir Blut claps [10/02/14 02:37] Sir Blut:I liked it [10/02/14 02:37] Awiiya:Thank you Sir Blut. [10/02/14 02:37] Awiiya:Shall we continue on? [10/02/14 02:37] :Rophs nods [10/02/14 02:38] :Intrigue stands and slings her satchel across her back [10/02/14 02:39] Sir Blut:Hm... [10/02/14 02:39] :Sir Blut shrugs and walks after them [10/02/14 05:24] Rophs:I forgot the log... [10/02/14 05:24] :[Spell] listen to the whisper of the seeds [/spoiler] The Maple: [spoiler] [10/02/14 02:39] :Intrigue sits atop one of the barrels [10/02/14 02:39] :I am Awiiyas Alt rumbles along [10/02/14 02:39] :Sir Blut grabs a bottle and unscrews the cap [10/02/14 02:40] :Intrigue swings her feet back and forth as she looks to the sky and thinks [10/02/14 02:42] I am Awiiyas Alt:What is your tradition here? [10/02/14 02:43] Intrigue:News, the days happenings and such [10/02/14 02:43] Rophs: *nods* To make it feel more part of the community Kets said. [10/02/14 02:43] Rophs:Anything happen at Bob? [10/02/14 02:44] Intrigue: *hmms* Petty Dodds came to visit, and made a sketch of Tree. [10/02/14 02:44] I am Awiiyas Alt:That was our tradition too. [10/02/14 02:44] I am Awiiyas Alt:Today I awoke again. This is small perhaps, but seemed rather large. [10/02/14 02:45] :Intrigue smiles and nods [10/02/14 02:46] Rophs:There's a pub now too. [10/02/14 02:46] I am Awiiyas Alt:I noticed. It seems a little strange to me. [10/02/14 02:47] :Sir Blut downs the bottle [10/02/14 02:47] Sir Blut:The sanctuary was better [10/02/14 02:47] :Intrigue smiles at Blut and shakes her head a bit [10/02/14 02:50] Rophs:I think Curiose saw me when I was taking a nap at the MDA gates, but otherwise nothing much happened. [10/02/14 02:51] Sir Blut:For me the walk is the biggest thing that happened[10/02/14 02:51] :I am Awiiyas Alt nods [10/02/14 02:51] I am Awiiyas Alt:To the Willow? [10/02/14 02:51] Intrigue: *nods* Aye, me too really. I don't leave Tree much. [10/02/14 02:52] :Intrigue hops down off the barrel and heads out across the feild [10/02/14 02:52] :Sir Blut stands and heads towards the Willow [10/02/14 02:52] :Rophs walks towards the Willow [10/02/14 02:52] :[Spell] listen to the whisper of the seeds [10/02/14 02:52] Rophs:Nothing...

[23/02/14 03:05] Yoshi:hmmm... [23/02/14 03:06] Yoshi:I was never any good at making up stories on the fly[23/02/14 03:06] Rophs: *nods* I'll tell a quick story ten.

[23/02/14 03:19] Rophs:There were too little saplings planted on opposite sides of a river. [23/02/14 03:19] Rophs:On one side was a Cherry blossom, and on the other side was a redwood. [23/02/14 03:20] Rophs:The Redwood over time became deeply infatuated with the Cherry Blossom. [23/02/14 03:21] Rophs:It crooned across the river, wooing its love. Unfortunately, the Cherry Blossom would have nothing of that sort. [23/02/14 03:22] Rophs:Years passed, and the Redwood eventually gave up on the cherry blossom. [23/02/14 03:22] Rophs:Over time the beauty of the Cherry Blossom's spring petals faded, and the redwood grew stronger and taller. [23/02/14 03:23] Rophs:The Redwood outlived the Cherry Blossom by over a hundred years. [23/02/14 03:23] Rophs:Remember that if love doesn't go your way it doesn't mean that you drew the shortest straw.

A sign of love and not of strife. Yoshi: You show the way we all should live, how not to take, but instead should give. Yoshi: You show the peace that we should have, how not to scowl, but instead should laugh. Yoshi: You show the joy that we should share, how not to turn, but instead should care. Yoshi: You show the patience that we should show, how not to shrink, but instead should grow. Yoshi: You show the love that we should extend, how not to hate, but instead should befriend.

[23/03/14 03:08] :Sir Blut frowns [23/03/14 03:08] Sir Blut:Azkhael said he was going to come [23/03/14 03:09] Sir Blut:I admire his eloquence, was looking forward to hear his story [23/03/14 03:09] Rophs: *nods* Let's wait for him [23/03/14 03:12] Sir Blut: *nods* Online list says he's in mda [23/03/14 03:17] :Sir Blut nods to Kyph [23/03/14 03:17] Sir Blut:Well Rophs is gone now [23/03/14 03:18] Kyphis:He will be back [23/03/14 03:21] Sir Blut:well now I've got more time to finish this poem for the oak [23/03/14 03:22] Rophs:I'm back. [23/03/14 03:24] Rophs:Poems are for the Willow. [23/03/14 03:24] Rophs:We tell Stories to the oak. [23/03/14 03:24] Sir Blut:Oh, I know *facepalms* Oak, willow [23/03/14 03:24] Sir Blut:Mixed up the names [23/03/14 03:32] :Sir Blut sits in the grass near the oak [23/03/14 03:33] :Rophs gets up from the stop he has been laying at underneath Awiiya covered in a thick layer of dirt which he doesn't seem to notice and walks over to the Oak which he also sits beside [23/03/14 03:38] Sir Blut:Looks like he's not coming [23/03/14 03:38] :Sir Blut yawns [23/03/14 03:42] Kyphis:I suppose you might as well proceed [23/03/14 03:43] Rophs: *blinks his dirt encrusted eyelids and looks around* Let's begin. [23/03/14 03:43] Rophs:Who shall tell a story first? [23/03/14 03:44] :Sir Blut points his finger at Kyphis [23/03/14 03:45] :Kyphis laughs [23/03/14 03:45] Kyphis:What theme shall we have? [23/03/14 03:46] Rophs:I made Curiose tell a story about you. [23/03/14 03:47] Rophs: *grins* Now it's your turn. [23/03/14 03:47] Kyphis:I know, I read it [23/03/14 03:47] Rophs:Tell a story about Curiose. [23/03/14 03:47] Kyphis:Okay, hmm [23/03/14 03:47] Kyphis:In true Legend Speaker style, the events of this story probably never happened [23/03/14 03:48] :Kyphis clears his throat to buy time to think [23/03/14 03:48] Kyphis:I once knew a yound woman quite well. Her name was Curiose [23/03/14 03:48] Kyphis:She was an interesting character, who had a significant impact on the realm. But that was in her later years [23/03/14 03:49] Kyphis:When I first heard of her she was a very different person to who she became by the end, and indeed who walks around now [23/03/14 03:49] Kyphis:There are a lot of stories about Curiose, as she did a lot in her time and was always getting places unexpected [23/03/14 03:50] Kyphis:As with anyone with a lot of stories about them, there are always stories no one has heard [23/03/14 03:50] Kyphis:Once, Curiose travelled deep into the Tribunal [23/03/14 03:50] Kyphis:Now, we all know the ribunal quite well, even though we may not go there very often [23/03/14 03:51] Kyphis:But curiose is good at getting places no one has ever been [23/03/14 03:52] Kyphis:She found a way to turn left where the road turned right, and ended up in a place none of us have ever been [23/03/14 03:53] Kyphis:Behind the streets we know, she found an entire world none of us have seen. And a darkness lurks [23/03/14 03:53] Kyphis:She fled that day, and after a long run and many false turns she fell back into our familiar MD [23/03/14 03:54] Kyphis:But she learnt a big secret that day, one that she has yet to share with anyone [23/03/14 03:54] :Kyphis smiles evilly [23/03/14 03:54] Kyphis:And that is your story for today [23/03/14 03:55] :Sir Blut is unsure whether to frown or to smile [23/03/14 03:55] Kyphis:In true Legend Speaker style, a true story that never happened. I hope you enjoyed it [23/03/14 03:55] :Sir Blut laughs instead and claps [23/03/14 03:57] Kyphis:Always remeber - there are places in this realm ever Mur does not know of [23/03/14 04:05] :Rophs scratches his chin covered in dirt causing little flakes to chip off [23/03/14 04:06] Rophs:I suppose it's my turn now. [23/03/14 04:06] Rophs:Kyphis what should my story's theme be? [23/03/14 04:06] Kyphis:The colour puce [23/03/14 04:07] :Rophs nods [23/03/14 04:08] Rophs:Every caterpillar dreams of one day becoming a butterfly with beautiful wings. [23/03/14 04:09] Rophs:Beautiful shades of red, blue, green, and may other colors were abundant [23/03/14 04:10] Rophs:One particular caterpillar felt extremely tired one day, and realized he was going to soon enter a cocoon and become a butterfly. [23/03/14 04:12] Rophs:After many months passed he hatched and discovered to his disgrace that his wings were solid puce. [23/03/14 04:17] Rophs:No other butterfly had ever had such an obscure color. [23/03/14 04:18] Rophs:It went into hiding and was never seen again. [23/03/14 04:18] Rophs:The end. [23/03/14 04:18] :Sir Blut chuckles [23/03/14 04:18] :Kyphis laughs [23/03/14 04:18] Rophs:Infact. [23/03/14 04:18] Sir Blut:What shall my story be about? [23/03/14 04:18] Rophs:No other butterfly had even HEARD of such an obscure color. [23/03/14 04:20] Kyphis: (Sir Blut: "2 four 7 two") [23/03/14 04:21] Rophs:Tell a story about dancing. [23/03/14 04:22] Sir Blut: (huh?) [23/03/14 04:22] Sir Blut:Hm alright [23/03/14 04:22] :Sir Blut thinks [23/03/14 04:25] Sir Blut:There was a man named Steve, who's wedding day was coming closer and closer. All of the arrangements were taken care of, and the couple loved eachother very deeply. [23/03/14 04:27] Sir Blut:They never disagreed about a thing, they were perfectly compatible, or so the bride to be thought. You see, she was a dancer, it was something she took quite seriously. [23/03/14 04:28] Sir Blut:But until the impending date was established, neither of them had even thought of dancing with eachother, they had never had a chance, so it was something the bride to be was looking forward to. [23/03/14 04:29] Sir Blut:It was also something that poor Steve dreaded, because he had in fact never learned to dance. Oh, he had tried before, but he just had no rhythm [23/03/14 04:31] Sir Blut:The couple agreed not to see eachother for a month, as it was a tradition in their land, if it was broken then the coupled would have bad luck when they married [23/03/14 04:31] Sir Blut:This gave Steve a month to learn to dance, and he took advantage of it right away [23/03/14 04:33] Sir Blut:He put an ad in his land's forum, for a dance teacher. Of course, he didn't put his real name for fear his fiance would see and find out he didn't know how to dance, which would embarrass him greatly [23/03/14 04:35] Sir Blut:"Heh, now Kate will never know" He thought to himself, as he received a reply to his ad, from a Miss Watson [23/03/14 04:37] Sir Blut:He thought he had it made, when he arrived at Miss Watson's house for his first lesson. The only strange thing was, Miss Watson insisted anonymity, she would not even show her face [23/03/14 04:38] Sir Blut:Instead, she first lectured him about dancing, from behind a curtain. When the time for physical practice came, she only revealed her arms from behind the curtain. [23/03/14 04:39] Sir Blut:Steve practiced dancing for a month, with a woman hidden behind a curtain, never seeing her face nor she his, he was sure. But she was a good dancer and teacher, [23/03/14 04:40] Sir Blut:and Miss Watson taught him what he needed to know how to do to impress Kate [23/03/14 04:42] Sir Blut:With modest prices [23/03/14 04:42] Sir Blut:The day of the wedding, Steve was waiting for Kate's entrance to the building where the service was taking place, eager for them to be married and celebrate in dance. [23/03/14 04:44] Sir Blut:When the King of the land said "If if there is any here who has any reason these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace", some one did have a reason [23/03/14 04:45] Sir Blut:"These two had seen eachother before their wedding day, Steve went to Kate's house every day for the past month!" proclaimed Kate's nosy neighbor [23/03/14 04:46] Sir Blut:And since bad luck upon their marriage was now certain, and both of them shocked, Steve and Kate broke up [23/03/14 04:46] Sir Blut:the end [23/03/14 04:47] Rophs:That's very unfortuante... [23/03/14 04:47] :Kyphis claps [23/03/14 04:47] Sir Blut:sorry was a bit long :P [23/03/14 04:47] Rophs:But atleast they weren't forced to wear puce for the rest of their lives/ [23/03/14 04:48] Sir Blut:This is true *smiles* [23/03/14 04:48] Sir Blut:Maple? [23/03/14 04:49] Kyphis:http://colors.findthebest.com/l/806/Puce [23/03/14 04:49] Rophs: *nods* You two first, I need to grab a log. [23/03/14 04:49] Rophs:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puce [23/03/14 04:50] :Sir Blut nods, stands and walks off towards the maple [23/03/14 04:51] :[Spell] listen to the whisper of the seeds [23/03/14 04:51] Rophs: (Uggh, no popup) [23/03/14 04:51] :[Spell] listen to the whisper of the seeds [/spoiler] Maple: [spoiler] : Sir Blut sets down on a stool and waits : Kyphis sits on a barrel Sir Blut: So today I took a trip to Golemus, then I took a nap next to Bob the tree, spoke briefly with Kyphis and Azkhael at the Marble Dale Park, and then went to the seedwalk : Rophs pulls a stool over to the Maple and sits Rophs: I'm doing a seedwalk. Rophs: It feels strange to walk about after laying still for so long, it almost feels like I've eroded away and been replaced my mud.

Rophs Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 The Oak: [spoiler] [06/04/14 07:06] :Intrigue falls through the gates in a heap [06/04/14 07:07] Intrigue: *rolls over and stares at the sky* My, it's gotten even deeper! [06/04/14 07:08] :Intrigue crawls over under Awiiya and rests [06/04/14 07:09] Intrigue: *grumbles to herself* Three peices of cake, a pickle and half an hour wait. Tis ridiculous. and now I have a tummy ache too. [06/04/14 07:09] :Sir Blut passed Flowers to Intrigue [06/04/14 07:09] Rophs: *laughs and reaches into his pocket* I have something that might cheer you up. [06/04/14 07:10] :Rophs strides over to Intrigue and holds a pebble out in the palm of his hand [06/04/14 07:10] :Intrigue looks at it with interest [06/04/14 07:11] Intrigue: (brb, tea should be ready by now) [06/04/14 07:11] :Rophs raises both of his eyebrows in a failed attempt at raising just one [06/04/14 07:11] Rophs: (brb, making tea) [06/04/14 07:12] Intrigue: (yays for tea, lol. blut, you have tea on too?) [06/04/14 07:14] Sir Blut: (no time :() [06/04/14 07:15] Sir Blut: (but I have something just as good to drink) [06/04/14 07:15] Sir Blut:SO i guess this is it [06/04/14 07:16] Intrigue: *takes the pebble from Rophs and rolls it between her fingers* Aye, I think it may be just us three. [06/04/14 07:16] Rophs: *nods and walks over to the Oak* Three is a fine number for a Seedwalk. [06/04/14 07:17] Rophs: *sits down cross legged facing the Oak* A Seedwalk is lonely with just two people. [06/04/14 07:20] Sir Blut:So whos first [06/04/14 07:20] :Intrigue continues rolling the pebble between her fingers and stares off at something in the grasses [06/04/14 07:20] :Rophs looks around [06/04/14 07:24] : Sir Blut collects herbs and flowers as a byproduct [06/04/14 07:24] Intrigue: *slips the pebble into her satchel* Long ago, in a land not of this place, there was a child. [06/04/14 07:25] :Sir Blut passed Flowers to Intrigue [06/04/14 07:25] Intrigue:This child was a free spirit, and would at any chance, dart off into the woods to climb the trees there, and not come down until night began to come. [06/04/14 07:26] Intrigue:The elders of the village where this child lived knew how this one behaved, and dismissed the disappearances as nothing more than child's play. [06/04/14 07:26] Intrigue:One day though, night began to fall, and the child was not seen. [06/04/14 07:27] Intrigue:Time dragged on, and soon, it was full dark, the only light to be seen was from the bonfire in the middle of the huts. [06/04/14 07:28] Intrigue:Worried that something may have happened to the child, several of the hunters decided to head into the forest to seek out the child, in case they had fallen into some misfortune on their adventure. [06/04/14 07:28] :Rophs puts his hand up [06/04/14 07:29] Rophs:We didn't give you a story topic yet... [06/04/14 07:29] Intrigue: *looks to Rophs and stops with a smile* I know [06/04/14 07:29] Rophs: *thinks for a bit* Can this story be about lycanthropy? [06/04/14 07:30] :Intrigue nods and continues [06/04/14 07:30] Intrigue:The hunters called out to the child as they progressed into the forest, sending scouts up trees that the child had been seen to frequent. [06/04/14 07:31] Intrigue:Meanwhile, back at the village, many people were distracted by the child missing and worried that their own children may someday wander away, so they had long talks with them about wandering off.[06/04/14 07:32] Intrigue:Overhearing one such conversation, one of the elder hunters spoke up "Aye, you should mind your mothers and fathers, for there are dangers in the woods at night..." [06/04/14 07:33] Intrigue:As the hunter spoke of the terrors of the forest, more and more children gathered around his feet to listen, hearing nothing but his words. [06/04/14 07:34] Intrigue:Back in the forest though, and unknown to the hunting party out searching for the child, this child had befriended a stranger. [06/04/14 07:34] Intrigue:The child had found one of another kind, and while they sat in a tree watching the moon rise, something odd happened... [06/04/14 07:36] Intrigue:The child, fixated on the rising moon they had never seen in the full dark, was shocked to the point they fell out of the tree when they realized they were no longer sitting by an old lady... [06/04/14 07:36] Intrigue:Instead, there on the branch, and trembling much due to the height, was a sleek black wolf with silver eyes. [06/04/14 07:37] Intrigue:The child, hurt by the fall, cried out loudly, while the wolf whimpered in the tree. [06/04/14 07:37] Intrigue:The hunters, having heard their own stories of the terrors of the forest, ran towards the sound of the child blindly. [06/04/14 07:38] Intrigue:One fell into a ravine, and another tripped over a tree root and broke an arm. [06/04/14 07:38] Intrigue:A few got lost by the echoes of the forest, and were never seen again... [06/04/14 07:39] Intrigue:But, a small handful made it to the child, and scooped the child up, looking all around for what may have made the child cry out [06/04/14 07:40] Intrigue:Luckily though, they never looked up into the tree, and after deciding there was no danger, the hunters carried the child home. [06/04/14 07:40] Intrigue:Days passed, and again, the child ventured off into the forest. Again, the child met the old woman, and shyly asked why she hadn't told her secret before the moon came up. [06/04/14 07:41] Intrigue:The old woman replied " If I had, my dinner would have left, but instead, it left me stranded high in a tree with an empty belly....." [06/04/14 07:43] :Rophs eyes Intrigue suspiciously [06/04/14 07:44] :Intrigue raises and eyebrow and looks at Rophs [06/04/14 07:45] Rophs:That one time when we were at MDP with the mp3s you were awfully good at climbing... [06/04/14 07:45] Intrigue: *nods* I am, much and more. [06/04/14 07:47] Rophs: *shrugs* It's a good thing it's almost never night in MD then. [06/04/14 07:47] Intrigue: *nods* The night is dark and full of terrors. [06/04/14 07:47] :Sir Blut smiles qnd ckaos [06/04/14 07:48] Rophs: *blinks and looks over at Blut* Why did you make the sound of a duck? [06/04/14 07:49] Sir Blut:claps* :p [06/04/14 07:51] :Rophs chuckles [06/04/14 07:51] Intrigue: *whispers to Rophs* He has spent much time in the water lately, mayhaps his applause is water logged. [06/04/14 07:52] Sir Blut:I have? [06/04/14 07:52] Intrigue: *nods and grins* Much compared to some [06/04/14 07:53] Intrigue: *pinches her nose* One came by the other day that needed to spend time in the waters [06/04/14 07:53] Sir Blut:I don't recall going swimming lately [06/04/14 07:54] Sir Blut:Then again I don't recall much lately anyway [06/04/14 07:54] Intrigue: *laughs and shakes her head* Pay me no mind. I am rather... odd today. [06/04/14 07:55] Sir Blut:no, tis I lacking a sense of humour these past few days, too stressed [06/04/14 07:55] Sir Blut:anyways, my turn? [06/04/14 07:56] :Intrigue looks to Rophs [06/04/14 07:56] Rophs: *looks to Intrigue* You told the last story, you give the topic! [06/04/14 07:57] Intrigue: *thinks a moment* Something with the color blue in it? [06/04/14 07:57] Sir Blut:okay [06/04/14 07:58] Sir Blut:Sorry if this doesn't make any sense [06/04/14 07:58] :Intrigue lays back in the grass and listens [06/04/14 07:58] Rophs: *whispers to Intrigue* Something that Bellies rarely do.... [06/04/14 07:59] Sir Blut:Tis the story of a boy with blue eyes who lived on an island surrounded by clear blue water, and when there wasn't a storm, beautiful blue skies [06/04/14 07:59] :Intrigue smiles and closes her eyes while listening [06/04/14 08:00] Sir Blut:He had no recollection of arriving on this island, but he knew every inch of it, and felt one with himself there [06/04/14 08:02] Sir Blut:One day he saw a ship on the horizon that bore no flags and he started worrying, he had never had visistors before [06/04/14 08:03] Sir Blut:Ten minutes later again looking at the horizon, the ship was turned around sailing away from the island, but there was a little boat with a man rowing to the island' [06/04/14 08:05] Sir Blut:when he got to it the boy approached with curiosity [06/04/14 08:07] Sir Blut:While he was muttering something about a capttain blut, the boy asked him who he was [06/04/14 08:08] Sir Blut:'Son, I am your father come for you after all these years, I was forced to lveave you here" [06/04/14 08:10] Sir Blut:sThe boy didnt understand the concept of a father and this man made him be afraid so he ran off into the jungle [06/04/14 08:12] Sir Blut:The man who also had blue eyes felt blue because his son didn't know him, and because captain blut had stranded him on this island [06/04/14 08:13] Sir Blut:but he felt a little better once he realized he wouldn't have to hear another of blut's stories ever again [06/04/14 08:13] Sir Blut:the end [06/04/14 08:13] Rophs: *laughs* Blut may I a topic? [06/04/14 08:14] :Intrigue sits up and looks to blut [06/04/14 08:15] Sir Blut:Hm...pain [06/04/14 08:15] Rophs: *laughs* The story you just told was painful. [06/04/14 08:15] Rophs:I heard a version of it a while ago that is a bit different. [06/04/14 08:16] :Sir Blut grins [06/04/14 08:16] Rophs: *nods* Aye, there was a boy alone on that island. [06/04/14 08:16] Rophs:*grins [06/04/14 08:16] Rophs: *grins* Yes, there was a captain who stranded one of his mates on that island. [06/04/14 08:17] Rophs:But, the boy was raised by monkeys and didn't understand a word the man said. [06/04/14 08:17] Rophs:When the pirate crew came back looking for the man who had hidden their smuggled rum they found the boy roasting him on a spit!

[15/04/14 23:20] TheRichMerchant:and the other value? [15/04/14 23:20] Rikstar:Loyality increases each day by 1. [15/04/14 23:20] Rophs:Loyalty is gained every active day, every time you pray heat to a protector, and when you win an alliance fight [15/04/14 23:21] Rikstar:Or you get them via fighting an alliance member, if you are in an alliance yourself.

[15/04/14 23:32] TheRichMerchant:okay [15/04/14 23:32] Rophs:Many moons ago Awiiya planted four seeds around MD. [15/04/14 23:32] Kyphis: (you are willing to actually use it, rather than keep it for collection purposes, so its worth me making sure you have them ^_^) [15/04/14 23:32] Azull::) [15/04/14 23:32] Rophs:The Oak is across the path from where Awiiya is rooted in place. [15/04/14 23:33] Rophs:The Maple is across the path from the larger tree at Santuary's View. [15/04/14 23:33] Rophs:The Willow is in the reeds across the river at Willow's Walk. [15/04/14 23:34] Rophs:The Spruce is at Old Man's Road, a few feet away from the Necrovian wall. [15/04/14 23:34] Rophs:Awiiya planted the seeds and asked Handy Pockets to water the seeds while he went away for a summer. [15/04/14 23:35] Rophs:Unfortunately Awi (Awiiya) forgot to tell Kets (Handy Pockets) where the seeds were planted. [15/04/14 23:35] Occamrazor:oh dear [15/04/14 23:35] Rophs:Kets took a big pail and filled it up with water at Marnid's Roundabout and carried it around with all of her might sloshing water wherever Awi might have planted the seeds. [15/04/14 23:36] Rophs:Upon Awi's return he brought Kets to each of the seeds, which they watered and did other things at. [15/04/14 23:36] Rophs:Stories for the Oak.

[15/04/14 23:39] Ars Alchemy:and he was not a tree [15/04/14 23:39] Ars Alchemy: (which already has me @ my quota ;) ) [15/04/14 23:40] Ars Alchemy:but Bob was a simple villiger who wanted one day to live in another land [15/04/14 23:40] Ars Alchemy:so he moved, taking the various things with him as what he would relate to [15/04/14 23:41] Ars Alchemy:where he moved he set up as his own the enviroment that surrounded him [15/04/14 23:41] Ars Alchemy:things changed [15/04/14 23:42] Ars Alchemy:and he even built his home there [15/04/14 23:42] Ars Alchemy:and where that land once was bare and simple field unexpectedly became a Home. [15/04/14 23:42] Ars Alchemy:thank you [15/04/14 23:43] :TheRichMerchant applauds [15/04/14 23:43] :Rikstar cheers [15/04/14 23:43] :Handy Pockets claps [15/04/14 23:43] :Rophs claps [15/04/14 23:44] :Lania smiles and claps [15/04/14 23:44] :Ars Alchemy smiles and sits down [15/04/14 23:44] Rophs:Who shall tell the next story? [15/04/14 23:44] TheRichMerchant:mine will be so long im afraid to begin :) [15/04/14 23:44] Rikstar:I want to tell a story. :) [15/04/14 23:44] TheRichMerchant:go, rik [15/04/14 23:44] Rophs: *nods* Ars give Rikstar a story topic. [15/04/14 23:44] Rikstar:BUt I already have one. D: [15/04/14 23:45] Ars Alchemy:the topic is Realization [15/04/14 23:45] Rikstar:Hmmm. [15/04/14 23:45] Ars Alchemy:you can easily work yours to fit that in [15/04/14 23:45] Rikstar:Ah. :D [15/04/14 23:45] Rikstar:That topic works wonderful with my planned story. [15/04/14 23:45] Ars Alchemy:excellent [15/04/14 23:46] Rikstar:Well my story isn't a real story, it's about a family. [15/04/14 23:46] :Rophs nods [15/04/14 23:47] Rikstar:A man comes very sad at home. [15/04/14 23:47] Rikstar:He has heard some horrible news. His wife is pregnant of four children, but the doctors are sure she won´t make it out alive after the birth of four babies. [15/04/14 23:48] Rikstar:He can´t face reality so he asked her to be alone for a moment to think. [15/04/14 23:48] Rikstar:He later comes back at his wife and he holds her while she´s crying. [15/04/14 23:49] Rikstar:Fast forward to the four kids getting birthed (is this even a verb?) . [15/04/14 23:50] Ars Alchemy: (once verbilized) [15/04/14 23:50] Rikstar:The first one is a girl, the second a boy, the third a girl and the fourth a boy. [15/04/14 23:51] Rendril Revant: (born?) [15/04/14 23:51] Rikstar:His wife dies due to the huge amount of blood loss. [15/04/14 23:52] Rikstar:This has a huge impact on the man and he starts to get an addiction on alcohol. [15/04/14 23:52] Rikstar:And overal get a depression. [15/04/14 23:53] Rikstar:He slowly starts to build up his life with his kids getting older, though he's a bit addicted to alcohol he's still a nice father. [15/04/14 23:53] Rikstar:When the kids are four there is already a huge difference in their behaviour. [15/04/14 23:54] Rikstar:One girl and boy are constantly fighting. While the other two are more on themselves. [15/04/14 23:55] Rikstar:The girl tries to talk about it, but the boy keeps scratching her. [15/04/14 23:55] Occamrazor:*stay more to themselves [15/04/14 23:55] Rikstar: (Thank you, my grammar isn't the best. :) ) [15/04/14 23:55] Rikstar: (I'm really worse at those kind of words like: by, at, on, in, etc) [15/04/14 23:56] Rikstar:The other girl is more creative and the other boy very rational. [15/04/14 23:56] Rikstar:Fast forward 10 years. [15/04/14 23:57] Rikstar:The man has a new wife, but his addiction got worse. His new wife is also the same as him. They both try to get a baby. [15/04/14 23:59] Rikstar:The first one they got died in the uterus. [15/04/14 23:59] Rikstar:Though the second one survived and was born. [15/04/14 23:59] Rikstar:Something magical happend with the man, his life sparks up. [16/04/14 00:00] Rikstar:Whilst he's getting older his new daughter is his proud and joy. [16/04/14 00:00] Rikstar:He is also neglecting his four other kids. [16/04/14 00:01] Rikstar:One boy is attending a science university, one girl is goes for art school. [16/04/14 00:02] Rikstar:The other boy isn't as lucky he gets an addiction to drugs. [16/04/14 00:03] Rikstar:The other girl is beautiful, but stays conservative and religious. She has already a husband and a little kid. [16/04/14 00:03] Rikstar: (we are over half I think. :) ) [16/04/14 00:03] Rikstar: (conclusions are coming it's way.) [16/04/14 00:04] Rikstar:The young girl wears a beautiful dress and plays outside in the garden with her dad. [16/04/14 00:05] Rikstar:She sniffs the flowers, touches the butterflies and listens to the beautifull sounds outside. [16/04/14 00:05] Rikstar:But then her father collapsed to the ground. [16/04/14 00:05] Rikstar:She immediately runs inside and calls her mother. [16/04/14 00:05] Rikstar:Her mother storms out and calls an ambulance. [16/04/14 00:06] Rikstar:The man wakes up in the hospital, but he feels a little bit dizzy. [16/04/14 00:06] Rikstar:The docters tell him that he is in a really bad condition. [16/04/14 00:06] Rikstar:That there is now way to prevent his soon death. [16/04/14 00:08] Rikstar:The young girl visits her dad every week, while his other kids had visited him only once. [16/04/14 00:08] Rikstar:When he almost dies he talks to his little girl and says that he loves her. [16/04/14 00:09] Rikstar:His last wishes are that he wants to live again. [16/04/14 00:09] Rikstar:*wish is [16/04/14 00:09] Rikstar:This man is [16/04/14 00:09] Rikstar:Murates del Mur. [16/04/14 00:09] Rikstar:The end. [16/04/14 00:10] TheRichMerchant:...lost for words... [16/04/14 00:10] Ars Alchemy:... [16/04/14 00:10] :Rophs stares dumbfounded at Rik [16/04/14 00:10] Rikstar:Should I explain it? [16/04/14 00:11] Rophs:... Wold anybody else like to tell a story? [16/04/14 00:11] TheRichMerchant:wait, let rik explain it:D [16/04/14 00:11] Rophs: (I'll post the logs on the forum thread, post an explanation there) [16/04/14 00:11] Lania:The 5 children are the main lands?

[16/04/14 00:11] Rophs:So who's next? [16/04/14 00:11] Rikstar:The first wife is the real world. [16/04/14 00:12] Rikstar:And Mur represents MD. [16/04/14 00:12] Rikstar:The first baby with the new wife that dies is the underground. [16/04/14 00:12] Rikstar:And that new wife is MDA> [16/04/14 00:13] TheRichMerchant:hmm...thats a way to look at things. rather poetic, if you ask me [16/04/14 00:13] Ars Alchemy:I thought that it meant more than that...

[16/04/14 00:51] Azkhael:If I had the strength to climb, perhaps *chuckles* [16/04/14 00:52] Ars Alchemy:well-you could use those two of cups for leverage [16/04/14 00:53] Handy Pockets:I will be back Rophs [16/04/14 00:53] Rophs:At the maple we tell the Happenings of the day.

Usually, I'd be up and about for a long while yet. But I've been awake for the last 35 hours :() [16/04/14 00:56] TheRichMerchant: *wink* sure [16/04/14 00:56] Handy Pockets:my apologies. [16/04/14 00:56] TheRichMerchant: (35??? go to sleep) [16/04/14 00:57] Azkhael: (After the Seedwalk) [16/04/14 00:57] Azkhael: (Until then, zombie-stasis observation it is!) [16/04/14 00:57] TheRichMerchant: (...) [16/04/14 00:57] Rophs:Let [16/04/14 00:57] Rophs:Let us tell the happenings of today. [16/04/14 00:58] Ars Alchemy:there was light [16/04/14 00:59] TheRichMerchant:and it rained [16/04/14 00:59] TheRichMerchant:well, today i missed azkhales lecture, the same way i missed lr anniversry and lastal s quest :( [16/04/14 00:59] Handy Pockets:I saw people who have been missing for a while. [16/04/14 01:00] Azkhael:There shall be a log, in time. [16/04/14 01:00] Ars Alchemy:so a candle went out [16/04/14 01:01] TheRichMerchant: *rubs his face* and thats it for me. im trying to stay awake ..... [16/04/14 01:02] Ars Alchemy:I too missed az's lecture [16/04/14 01:02] Rophs:Me threee [16/04/14 01:02] Azkhael:Traitors! *jests* [16/04/14 01:03] Ars Alchemy:I was told it was a bit technical [16/04/14 01:03] Ars Alchemy:could you summon it up for us perhaps? [16/04/14 01:03] Ars Alchemy:from A-Z? [16/04/14 01:04] Azkhael:And here I thought it was not technical enough. [16/04/14 01:04] Azkhael:However, to draw a conclusion here, online communities find themselves in a precarious balance in regard to their autonomy. [16/04/14 01:04] Azkhael:We saw that societies, held as an abstraction of those individuals within, for the sake of ease of analysis, bring tendencies within their moral frameworks that largely determine (cont) [16/04/14 01:05] Azkhael:an individual's values. [16/04/14 01:05] Rophs:+0. [16/04/14 01:05] Azkhael:Furthermore, we saw that most individuals suffer said and enact such influence unconsciously, though that framework can be intentionally manipulated by a select number towards a given end. [16/04/14 01:05] Azkhael::Likwise, we saw that online communities sport many such aspects, including internal mechanisms of social recognition and rituals of communication. [16/04/14 01:05] Azkhael:Still, it was said that those values bear a much reduced influence on the individual itself, if compared to that originary society. [16/04/14 01:06] :Ars Alchemy nods [16/04/14 01:06] Azkhael::However, when acting within said online society, we adopt those influences more strongly, even as those more inherent to us lower in intensity. An internal form of social coercion. [16/04/14 01:06] Azkhael:Yet still, even through that mask our originary society exerts the more powerful filter. The earlier may serve as a trigger, but it is not the most determinant of our behaviour. [16/04/14 01:06] Azkhael:How that holds true for each of you, however, is for you to ponder over, and here, I will gladly support Gljivoje's proposal. [16/04/14 01:06] TheRichMerchant:good thing this was a lecture and not a debate [16/04/14 01:07] TheRichMerchant:i think we would have stayed up for 5 more hours if it were a debate h3h3 [16/04/14 01:07] Ars Alchemy:doesn't sound at all technical to me [16/04/14 01:07] Ars Alchemy:more...logistical [16/04/14 01:07] TheRichMerchant:but debatable [16/04/14 01:07] Ars Alchemy:and highly condensed [16/04/14 01:08] Azkhael:That is the recap. [16/04/14 01:08] :Ars Alchemy grins [16/04/14 01:08] Azkhael:Not the lecture proper. [16/04/14 01:08] Rophs: *nods* To the Willow? [16/04/14 01:08] TheRichMerchant:yup [16/04/14 01:08] Handy Pockets:Yes, [16/04/14 01:08] :[Spell] listen to the whisper of the seeds [/spoiler] The Willow: [spoiler] [16/04/14 01:11] TheRichMerchant:hipocrisy is not a human trait, it is innate to language [16/04/14 01:12] TheRichMerchant:dont mind me, its the hour acting up ........zzzzzz [16/04/14 01:13] Azkhael:Language where hypocrisy is possible is a human trait. :P [16/04/14 01:14] TheRichMerchant:dont. not now :D [16/04/14 01:14] TheRichMerchant:poetry, Rophs?

[27/04/14 03:16] Rophs:His actual name is unimportant, the butcher's mark on history... were his works of... *shivers* a-art, as he called them. [27/04/14 03:16] Rophs:Before I get into that there's a bit of history behind what corrupted the butcher. [27/04/14 03:17] Rophs: *curls up into a ball to prevent the warmth from escaping his body* As a young child he went on a tour through Necrovian with his sister named Marnid. [27/04/14 03:17] Rophs:Near the Trial of Agony he was separated from the group, as a tentacle came down from one of the trees and grabbed him. [27/04/14 03:18] Rophs:Twelve years, that is the time that the butcher spend in Necrovian, as the shades tortured and prodded upon him. [27/04/14 03:19] Rophs:People rumor that his soul was consumed by the shades and his veins were drained of blood. [27/04/14 03:20] Rophs:As he finally stumbled out of Necrovian the butcher eyed everything he saw with disgust and hatred. [27/04/14 03:20] :Rophs shivers [27/04/14 03:20] Rophs:I'll continue this tale next week, the memories are simply too horrid.

Rophs: It was Grido and I running against each other, but I didn't want to be elected. Rophs: Grido announced that he was disbanding the Triumvirate and claiming the throne. *shakes his head* But I didn't like that. Rophs: A dictator or tyrant would do such a thing, and I could never accept having such a leader. Rophs: By running against him in a fair election, he is not a rightful king. Rophs: *grins* I doubt you'll understand that though, most people don't.

[03/05/14 23:22] Rophs: *laughs* MDA must be especially busy now. [03/05/14 23:24] Azkhael:Not quite, I believe things cooled down after the Anniversary; it is more that I have two congresses with little to no space inbetween. [03/05/14 23:25] Azkhael:Which, alone, tie up two whole weeks; plus flight time and the preparation for them.

[03/05/14 23:59] :Rophs chuckles [04/05/14 00:00] Aeoshattr:I should get this cadaveric decomposition sorted somehow, but I doubt the procedure would be appropriate right now. *looks at the sky, trying to tell what time it is* [04/05/14 00:01] Rophs:Alright, let's do a seedwalk! [04/05/14 00:01] Rophs:Who wants to tell a story first? [04/05/14 00:03] Aeoshattr:Oh dear. Lin, you told me we would be told stories, not that we would have to weave them ourselves. *sits up and flicks bugs off his cloak* [04/05/14 00:03] Rophs: *grins* Maybe we should make her tell the first story as punishment! [04/05/14 00:03] :Rophs cackles evilly [04/05/14 00:03] Aeoshattr:I wouldn't be so harsh. It may have just been 'cause of my... defective ears. [04/05/14 00:04] Lintara: *chuckles* Well, then you'd have to wait for some time while I try to weave one... [04/05/14 00:04] Rophs: *nods* Well, whoever tells the first story. Let's make its topic be 'growing'. [04/05/14 00:07] Lintara: *smiles* We could just weave one together. One person says a sentence, then another says a sentence... [04/05/14 00:07] Aeoshattr:Intriguing. [04/05/14 00:07] Rophs:I like that idea, and I think I'll start. [04/05/14 00:08] Rophs:Petty dodds carried her basket of apples throughout MD. [04/05/14 00:09] Lintara:One apple fell out and rolled under a tree. [04/05/14 00:10] Azkhael:She was worried she might not have enough for old Willow, and so... [04/05/14 00:12] Aeoshattr:She started knocking from door to door, asking for apples throughout the land of Marind [04/05/14 00:12] Rophs:Unfortunately, due to the shortage of apples very few people had any to spare. [04/05/14 00:13] Lintara:Petty dodds began to despair. [04/05/14 00:14] Azkhael:She wondered where an apple tree might be found; she saw oaks, maples and willows, but no apple trees in sight. [04/05/14 00:15] Aeoshattr:Yet tasting her despair, the world itself incarnated, a shade of liquid dust emerging when her hope was at its lowest, and asked her if she wanted apples. [04/05/14 00:17] Rophs:"Yes, of course I do", replied the naive Petty Dodde [04/05/14 00:19] Lintara:The shade grinned, and Petty dodds jumped back in surprise. [04/05/14 00:23] Aeoshattr: (are we doing turns? or can anyone jump in at any time?) [04/05/14 00:26] Lintara: (Azkhael probably had to go afk for a bit, so it's probably okay to jump in) [04/05/14 00:28] Azkhael:The shade extended its grim hand, as if reaching for... [04/05/14 00:28] Lintara: (ah, nvm, sorry >^.^'<) [04/05/14 00:30] Aeoshattr:the girl's hair. "Then give me a lock of your hair, and I will give you an apple. But you must give it with a smile, with joy." [04/05/14 00:32] Rophs:Petty shivered and shuddered in fear, but she knew there was no other option. [04/05/14 00:33] Azkhael: (Please, don't be, you were quite correct) [04/05/14 00:33] Lintara:With her hands shaking, she took out her knife and reached for her hair. [04/05/14 00:35] Azkhael:Reluctantly cutting away a small lock, which she held in tight grip, as if second guessing herself. [04/05/14 00:37] Aeoshattr:The shade swirled around her, almost sweeping her off her feet, and snatched the lock of hair from her hand, dropping a crooked tree branch in her basket, which had a couple of apples still on it. [04/05/14 00:44] Rophs:Petty mustered the best smile possible with the given circumstances and said "Thank you" with a weak, quivering voice. [04/05/14 00:46] Lintara:She carefully got back up on her feet and dusted herself off and when she looked at the apples in the basket... [04/05/14 00:47] Rophs:They started slowly growing hair [04/05/14 00:47] Azkhael: (And here I thought we were going for a dark turn :P) [04/05/14 00:48] Lintara: (Oh, so many ways this story can turn out! >^.^<) [04/05/14 00:48] Aeoshattr: (Hairy apples. lol) [04/05/14 00:48] Aeoshattr: (whose turn is it?) [04/05/14 00:49] Lintara: (Azkhael hasn't said his sentence yet ) [04/05/14 00:51] Azkhael:She was quite puzzled, and let off a deep sigh; what was she supposed to do with hairy apples, of all things? [04/05/14 00:53] Aeoshattr:And as hair started to grow on all apples, her own hair started growing grey and white [04/05/14 00:58] Aeoshattr: (Sadly, I'll have to go now) [04/05/14 00:59] Azkhael: (And I must go away for some five minutes) [04/05/14 00:59] Lintara: (Bye Aeo, see you around :) ) [04/05/14 00:59] Azkhael: (Brb) [04/05/14 00:59] Azkhael: (Farewell, Aeoshattr) [04/05/14 00:59] Rophs:Petty aged 1000 years in a matter of minutes, and shriveled up like a prune. [04/05/14 01:00] Lintara: (Well, I don't have much time left either =/) [04/05/14 01:00] Rophs: ( :P Do we have enough AP to go to the Maple?() [04/05/14 01:01] Lintara: (will 277 do? :P) [04/05/14 01:03] Lintara:Yet she didn't realize that she was aging quickly until she started walking. [04/05/14 01:07] Lintara: (and 330 ap now ^^) [04/05/14 01:13] Lintara: (Sorry, I have to go too now. Have fun!) [04/05/14 01:17] Rophs:To the Maple! [04/05/14 01:17] Rophs:listen to the whisper of the seeds [04/05/14 01:17] Rophs:castwords... [04/05/14 01:17] Rophs:the shades call [04/05/14 01:17] :[Spell] the shadow calls [04/05/14 01:18] :[Spell] listen to the whisper of the seeds [/spoiler] I won't be able to get a log for Willow because acoutsticremains bugged out twice in a row and I'm out of casts.

Rophs Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) 6/30/14 The Oak: [spoiler] [30/06/14 22:00] Rophs:Let's begin. [30/06/14 22:01] Rophs: *walks over to the Oak Sapling and sits down beside it cross legged* Who would like to tell a story first? [30/06/14 22:01] Aeoshattr:Hm. I can tell the story of our kind's creation. Of the Nephilim. [30/06/14 22:02] Rophs: *shakes his head* Nonono, it can't be a story you're ready to tell. [30/06/14 22:02] Rophs:Tell a story about failue and dissapointment. [30/06/14 22:03] Aeoshattr:Hm. *chuckles* [30/06/14 22:04] Aeoshattr:Tough one. I'm not very... spontaneous [30/06/14 22:07] Aeoshattr:Mallos? [30/06/14 22:09] Rophs:Aeo? [30/06/14 22:09] Aeoshattr:Hm. Well, I can try then. Let's see. Failure and disappointment. [30/06/14 22:09] Aeoshattr:There was once a young man, roaming No Man's Land [30/06/14 22:10] Aeoshattr:He knew little and, as any newcomer thrown into the unknown, he was afraid. [30/06/14 22:11] Aeoshattr:He sought shelter from place to place, sleeping under the blazing Sun, either in the shade of the Gazebo, trying to hide in the tall grass, but never feeling at home. [30/06/14 22:12] Aeoshattr:He stood in the Sun, he stood in the pouring rain. [30/06/14 22:12] Aeoshattr:In storms and in blizzards. He endured. He spoke to many, but few spoke to him. [30/06/14 22:13] Aeoshattr:Few - but one of those few, stood out. A woman, coming from the lush forests of Loreroot, taking off her precious time to help the poor young man. [30/06/14 22:14] Aeoshattr:She guided him, brought him food when he had none left [30/06/14 22:14] Aeoshattr:Gave him hope when he lost his. [30/06/14 22:14] Aeoshattr:Lit his path when he saw no light. [30/06/14 22:15] Aeoshattr:And the young man knew not what was happening to him - love was something he had never even dreamed of. But he was so lost in it, he couldn't see it. He was like a boat in a stormy sea. [30/06/14 22:15] Aeoshattr:Swept wherever his love would want him to be swept. [30/06/14 22:16] Aeoshattr:He loved her with all his heart. He had little to give, other than words and flowers he picked from the plains [30/06/14 22:17] Aeoshattr:When he was finally allowed into Loreroot, it was the most beautiful day of his life - and the worst. [30/06/14 22:17] Aeoshattr:The woman was always kind to him - but now he knew why she always just smiled when he gave her flowers, when he wrote her poems [30/06/14 22:18] Aeoshattr:She was in the arms of another man - one that the poor young man could never hope to match. [30/06/14 22:19] Aeoshattr:But he endured. As he stood in the pouring rain and in the roaring blizzard, he stood and endured. [30/06/14 22:19] Aeoshattr:His love for her never waned, even though he knew she could never be his. But he did his best to keep her happy. He left many things behind, from the little he had [30/06/14 22:20] Aeoshattr:He lived, and over the years, he saw the other man wear, fading faster than him. [30/06/14 22:21] Aeoshattr:Naturally, the muse grew sad. She ran away from the forest, unable to look at it without remembering of her dying love. [30/06/14 22:21] Aeoshattr:The poor young man was always in her shadow, keeping watch so that others wouldn't prey on such a pure, delicate woman. [30/06/14 22:22] Aeoshattr:After all those years, after all the time he spent watching over her, he slipped for merely one moment - enough for her to fall to the Taint. [30/06/14 22:23] Aeoshattr:The muse's beauty faded with each second as the vile curse consumed her, and she wept ashen tears. [30/06/14 22:23] Aeoshattr:The young man, seeking to comfort her, spoke to her - as saddened as she was, for he had failed the one thing he could have done for her. [30/06/14 22:24] Aeoshattr:Yet for a brief moment, the muse made a request herself. She never asked for anything of him, but in her dying breath. A muse like her could never fall to the Taint without perishing. [30/06/14 22:24] Aeoshattr:It consumed all that she was, and it was indeed a terrible way to go. [30/06/14 22:25] Aeoshattr:So the young man found himself holding her ivory knife, with her words burning in his head. "Kill me." [30/06/14 22:26] Aeoshattr:He wept bitter tears like her, seeing her wither away with every passing moment. His hands shook and couldn't bring himself to do it. The muse embraced him one last time. [30/06/14 22:26] Aeoshattr:And in doing so, let the ivory dagger impale her tender flesh, red blood soaking her white skin and dress. [30/06/14 22:28] Aeoshattr:The man cried, knowing he had failed all that he ever wanted - his love lay dead in his arms, by his own hands. He came to the Land alone, walked alone and remained alone for the rest of his long life [30/06/14 22:30] Aeoshattr: *rubs his chin* I believe that fits the request. [30/06/14 22:31] :Rophs blinks [30/06/14 22:31] Rophs:Fit isn't the right word... [30/06/14 22:32] :Aeoshattr raises an eyebrow [30/06/14 22:35] Aeoshattr:But? [30/06/14 22:36] Rophs: *nods* Give me a story topic. [30/06/14 22:37] Aeoshattr: *seems slightly confused but nods* Hm. [30/06/14 22:38] Rophs:Hm? [30/06/14 22:38] Rophs: *nods* Hm. [30/06/14 22:38] Aeoshattr:Pondering. [30/06/14 22:38] Aeoshattr:Balance and temptation. [30/06/14 22:39] Rophs:Which one? [30/06/14 22:39] : Rophs collects wiiya [30/06/14 22:39] : Rophs collects wiiya [30/06/14 22:39] : Rophs collects wiiya [30/06/14 22:41] Aeoshattr:Go with balance, if you wish to pick one [30/06/14 22:43] :Rophs nods [30/06/14 22:45] Rophs:Long ago all of the existence that now makes up MD was in a single fenth capsule. [30/06/14 22:45] Rophs:It was completely orderly and balanced, except for one thing. [30/06/14 22:46] Rophs:The amount of balance severely outweighed the amount of imbalance. [30/06/14 22:47] Rophs:This slight imbalance penetrated the fenth capsule and tore it apart, spiraling MD into the Great Chaos. [30/06/14 22:49] Rophs:It was months, years, who knows how long until an Angien walking among the chaos found a small cube buried underneath a hatch with a map drawn on it, [30/06/14 22:50] Rophs:The Angien unfolded the cube and pressed it onto the hatch's map, juxtaposing the image onto theunfolded cube. [30/06/14 22:50] Rophs:a [30/06/14 22:51] Rophs:Slowly the Angien gathered some of the less chaotic bits of fenths and added them to the cube, and it began to grow. [30/06/14 22:51] Rophs:After years of working to grow the cube this Angien restored balance to MD and unfolded the cube/ [30/06/14 22:51] :Rophs nods [30/06/14 22:51] Rophs:The end. [30/06/14 22:53] Rophs:Next we visit the Maple at Sanctuary's View. [30/06/14 22:53] :Aeoshattr nods [30/06/14 22:54] :[Spell] listen to the whisper of the seeds [/spoiler] The Maple: [spoiler] [30/06/14 21:23] :Rophs nods to Mallos [30/06/14 21:24] :Mallos nods [30/06/14 21:55] Aeoshattr: (That took vastly longer than expected...) [30/06/14 21:55] Rophs: (:P) [30/06/14 21:55] Rophs: (LR has the slowest regen iirc) [30/06/14 21:57] Aeoshattr: (Yep) [30/06/14 21:57] Aeoshattr: (Ironic, if you ask me) [30/06/14 21:57] Rophs: (It's harder to run through a forest than it is to run through a wasteland) [30/06/14 21:58] Rophs: (someone from LR might be more accustomed to moving slower, and someone from NC faster) [30/06/14 21:58] Aeoshattr: (But the forest should regenerate faster than a dead wasteland... since the regen also involves VE and all that) [30/06/14 22:56] : Aeoshattr collects lumber [30/06/14 22:56] Rophs:Was that an attack on the Maple? [30/06/14 22:57] Aeoshattr: (Oops.) [30/06/14 22:57] :Rophs shrugs [30/06/14 22:57] Rophs: *pulls a stool over to the Maple* Granos and Ailith used one of their Warrants today. [30/06/14 22:58] Aeoshattr:I have heard. I am curious what they used it for though... [30/06/14 22:58] Aeoshattr:I don't think such matters should be kept private, but alas, it is not my decision to make [30/06/14 22:59] Rophs:Whatever they used it upon is secret. [30/06/14 22:59] Aeoshattr:Disturbing, I think. [30/06/14 23:00] :Rophs nods [30/06/14 23:03] Rophs:The Willow is next, at Willow's Walk.

Rophs Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) 7/19/14 The Oak: [spoiler] [19/07/14 08:17] AmberRune:A people! [19/07/14 08:17] AmberRune:that took way longer than it should have [19/07/14 08:17] Rophs: *nods* Glad to see someone turn up. [19/07/14 08:18] AmberRune: *points down the ways* You're along the way to see the beautiful log room I haven't been to in a while [19/07/14 08:18] AmberRune:=P [19/07/14 08:19] Rophs: *laughs* I need to go visit there too. [19/07/14 08:19] Rophs: *shiver and shakes his head* I've been holding it far too long. [19/07/14 08:19] Rophs:I'm so glad they took off the lock leading the the bathroom's hallway/ [19/07/14 08:20] AmberRune: *nodsnodsnods* That was sort of a pain, especially since the portal saps a ton of ap [19/07/14 08:20] Rophs:Yep. [19/07/14 08:33] Rophs: *looks around* Let's begin. [19/07/14 08:33] AmberRune:okie doke, lead on [19/07/14 08:33] Rophs: *sits down on the ground next to the Oak* We don't walk just quite yet. [19/07/14 08:33] Rophs:First we shall tell stories to The Oak. [19/07/14 08:34] Rophs:Tell the Oak a story about surprise! [19/07/14 08:35] AmberRune:You mean like the box that suddenly exploded into the pub? [19/07/14 08:35] Rophs: *shrugs* Go on ahead! [19/07/14 08:36] AmberRune:Um, we were told that there was a box and so the fast and competitive people ran around looking for it [19/07/14 08:38] AmberRune:Then I think a couple people stumbled on it fairly quickly which drew anybody else who was curious over to see what was in it [19/07/14 08:39] AmberRune:And after being informed that the teeny box needed a bunch of resources to activate, people pooled and got the right numbers [19/07/14 08:39] AmberRune:And the a pub sorta exploded all over the place [19/07/14 08:40] Rophs: *nods* I remember when that happened. [19/07/14 08:40] Rophs:What'll my story be about? [19/07/14 08:41] AmberRune:Fountains are nice [19/07/14 08:42] :Rophs nods [19/07/14 08:42] Rophs:Since the topic tonight seems to be histories I suppose I can do something along those lines too. [19/07/14 08:43] :Rophs scratches his chin and hums, thinking of a true story he could tell involving fountains [19/07/14 08:43] Rophs:There is one story I haven't told in a while. [19/07/14 08:44] Rophs:Since I last told it there were a few parts to it that happened beforehand I learnt about, meaning this could be an even better rendition. [19/07/14 08:44] AmberRune:Cool, so I most likely haven't heard it [19/07/14 08:44] Rophs:Although some historical deviation may occur, so don't necessarily take this as a given fact. [19/07/14 08:44] Rophs:Awiiya and Handy Pockets were two good friends in the realm. [19/07/14 08:45] Rophs:But everywhere they went there was a common theme: decay. [19/07/14 08:45] Rophs:Everything in MD seemed to be decaying. Whether it was stairs leading up a path or a dried up well no place in MD seemed to be renewed with life [19/07/14 08:46] Rophs:Awiiya decided he needed to bring a little life into MD and planted four seeds. [19/07/14 08:47] Rophs:The Oak is planted here. The Maple at Sanctuary's View. A Willow at Willow's Walk and at Old Man's Row he planted the Spruce. [19/07/14 08:47] Rophs:Awiiya watered these seeds regularly ensuing they would eventually grow into trees. [19/07/14 08:48] Rophs:He had to dissapear from the realm temporarily and asked Handy Pockets to water the seeds for him, but there was a catch. [19/07/14 08:48] Rophs:Handy had zero idea where the seeds were planted, and had to think up a plan. [19/07/14 08:49] Rophs:Eventually she found the biggest bucket in MB which she could fill from water at Marnid's Roundabout. [19/07/14 08:49] Rophs:That's the only fountain in this story but it counts. [19/07/14 08:50] Rophs:Kets struggled to carry the heavy pail of water around all of the paths Awiiya would frequent, making sure to splish and splash extra water anywhere the soil looked like it had been recently disturbed [19/07/14 08:51] Rophs:When Awiiya returned he brought Kets on the first Seedwalk where they told stories at the Oak, the news at the Maple, poetry to the Willow, and whispered Secrets to the Spruce. [19/07/14 08:51] Rophs: *nods* The end. [19/07/14 08:52] AmberRune:huh [19/07/14 08:53] AmberRune:So we're visiting one of those other ones nowish [19/07/14 08:53] :Rophs nods [19/07/14 08:53] Rophs:The Maple at Santuary's View. [19/07/14 08:54] :[Spell] listen to the whisper of the seeds [/spoiler] The Maple: [spoiler] Rophs: Here at the Maple we tell the news. AmberRune: The news! Awesome (ir or in game?) Rophs: (ingame) AmberRune: (I see I'm going to have an issue with this seedwalk thing) Rophs: The log room's ap cost is back to 1 again! Rophs: ( :P) Rophs: This means it's much easier to become an amateur spy in MD nowadays. AmberRune: And Sunny is going to be doing a summer fest so people should be appearing again AmberRune: hopefully no serial killers this time Rophs: Maybe we'll get to see Rendril again. Rophs: He stopped by for the MD Anniv festival. Rophs: There's some under the hood stuff, but otherwise not much has happened. Rophs: To the Willow! [/spoiler] Ameber really really doesn't a log at the Willow so there won't be one. (Pssh wymen ;P) And we tell secrets at the Spruce ;) Edited July 19, 2014 by Rophs Eagle Eye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rophs Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) ~ Day: 276 Year: 9 ~ The Oak: [spoiler][04/10/14 00:04] Rophs: *sits down next to the Oak* Time for another lonely Seedwalk. [04/10/14 00:18] Rophs: *sighs* I'll tell a story about Lonliness. [04/10/14 00:20] Rophs:In MD the concept of loneliness is nothing new. [04/10/14 00:22] Rophs:We even have a place named after it, for the single tree that sits there. One might argue that this tree didn't exist for a long time. [04/10/14 00:22] Rophs:Many people passed by it every day, but not a single one of them acknowledged its presence. [04/10/14 00:26] Rophs:Eventually one player noticed the tree and he decided it needed a name. Zleiphneir named that tree Bob.

Rophs Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) ~ Day: 305 Year: 9 ~ [log The Oak:] [02/11/14 22:49] :Rophs nods to Ars [02/11/14 22:51] Rophs:Are you ready to begin? [02/11/14 22:55] :Ars Alchemy nods [02/11/14 22:56] Ars Alchemy:I am [02/11/14 22:56] :Rophs walks over to the Oak and sits down cross legged beside it [02/11/14 22:56] :Rophs nods and beckons to Ars [02/11/14 22:56] Rophs:Come over and tell our friend a story about fishing. [02/11/14 22:57] Rophs: *nods* It's been some time since we had a story with such a non-abstract topic. [02/11/14 22:57] :Ars Alchemy takes a moment longer to lean affectionetly against the tree before laying down by it's roots [02/11/14 22:58] Rophs: *chuckles* Awi is great isn't he, perhaps you can project your voice so that the Oak may hear? [02/11/14 22:58] Ars Alchemy:I've got a story that will suffice. fishing must certainly be involved in it [02/11/14 22:59] Rophs: *nods* Do tell. [02/11/14 22:59] Ars Alchemy:There were 3 brothers who lived together in a house by the shore [02/11/14 22:59] Ars Alchemy:each was a different profession by trade [02/11/14 23:01] Ars Alchemy:the eldest was fisherman, the second a tailor, and the youngest brother had always learned best at carpentry [02/11/14 23:02] Ars Alchemy:using the skills that they had (and by trading with nearby islanders) they managed to carve out a place for themselves by the sea [02/11/14 23:02] Ars Alchemy:but the youngest always dreamed of adventure and was seldom not struck with a wanderlust to see other places [02/11/14 23:04] :Rophs passed Wiiya Bubble to Ars Alchemy [02/11/14 23:05] Ars Alchemy:"let us build a boat" he said. "we would be able to sail far away and see lands never discovered by man!" [02/11/14 23:07] Ars Alchemy:all the years growing up he said this-and it is probally the reason he studied so hard and diligently to learn his trade [02/11/14 23:08] Ars Alchemy:finally, one day when he had no other work to do he started to begin building his ship [02/11/14 23:09] Ars Alchemy:all 3 participated in their own right [02/11/14 23:09] Ars Alchemy:the youngest hew and carved the wood [02/11/14 23:10] Ars Alchemy:the middle sibling stitched together enough fabric to be used as a sail [02/11/14 23:11] Ars Alchemy:and the eldest just normally sat where he usually would, a thin rod dangled lightly between his fingers [02/11/14 23:11] Ars Alchemy:*with a [02/11/14 23:12] Ars Alchemy:finally one night the vessel was ready and they had made every last preperation [02/11/14 23:12] Ars Alchemy:and so they set off, sailing... [02/11/14 23:13] Ars Alchemy:erm,,,sailing West I suppose. not that Life imitates Art <.< [02/11/14 23:14] Rophs: *chuckles* Lucky me already has a ship left along by Cryxus. [02/11/14 23:15] Ars Alchemy:as they passed far away from the edges of the islands that they knew until all the could 'sea' around them was an ocean of solid blue [02/11/14 23:16] Ars Alchemy:time passed without incident. the youngest brother sat perched up in a crow's nest with a spyglass pressed to his eye looking for his adventure which he knew was out there.... [02/11/14 23:17] Ars Alchemy:the middle brother stayed at the captain's wheel, watching his sails billow in the sturdy winds [02/11/14 23:18] Ars Alchemy:and the eldest just normally sat where he usually would, with a thin rod dangled lightly between his fingers [02/11/14 23:18] Ars Alchemy:on the 40th day or their voyage the winds changed and began to blow from the NE [02/11/14 23:20] Ars Alchemy:squalls of rain beat down and torrential winds picked up the little craft and set it flying asunder [02/11/14 23:22] Ars Alchemy:it was thought that the ship might capsize and crash when their movement was brung to a sudden halt by a jolt in the hull [02/11/14 23:22] Ars Alchemy:... [02/11/14 23:22] :Ars Alchemy pauses in reflection [02/11/14 23:22] Ars Alchemy:hmm, let me think for a minute... [02/11/14 23:23] :Rophs nods [02/11/14 23:23] Ars Alchemy:when I first made this story each brother had a role in building the ship, but they also each had another purpose on this side as well [02/11/14 23:24] Ars Alchemy:well, let me start with the basic of what's happened so far now [02/11/14 23:27] Ars Alchemy:the land they grounded on might have been a sandbar, but in fact it was an edge to the cusp of the world where the waters had ended and land failed to begin [02/11/14 23:28] Ars Alchemy:so they sought shelter on the low laying sands, their only surface available to live on now that their boat had capsized [02/11/14 23:29] Ars Alchemy:it was not easy for there were few supplies left and nothing to forge here [02/11/14 23:29] Ars Alchemy:but each brother contributed their own to the situation [02/11/14 23:30] Ars Alchemy:the youngest dissasembled his boat and used the wood planks to construct shelters [02/11/14 23:31] Ars Alchemy:the tailor sewed blankets and mended clothing using the sailscloth [02/11/14 23:31] Ars Alchemy:and the eldest just normally sat where he usually would, a thin rod dangled lightly between his fingers [02/11/14 23:32] Ars Alchemy: (this is where the fishing part occurs in prominence) [02/11/14 23:34] Ars Alchemy:fishing was their sole source of renewable food nearly every meal they ate was harvested from the ocean somehow [02/11/14 23:34] Ars Alchemy: (barnacles and muscles, seaweed and kep, but mainly fish) [02/11/14 23:35] :Ars Alchemy scratches his head [02/11/14 23:37] Ars Alchemy:I don't know how they made it to return in the lastime exactly, but this time the "boat" is overturned and pushed over the lip while the brother's line tries to catch a giant fish [02/11/14 23:37] Rophs:Perhaps it swallows them up and spits them out at home [02/11/14 23:38] Rophs:Or they could ride it to a newfoundland. [02/11/14 23:38] Ars Alchemy:either way, they are toppled over the side in their 'craft' pouring down into the nethers of darkness while water poured around them like a waterfall [02/11/14 23:38] Ars Alchemy: (and yes, their boat is arbitrarily back) [02/11/14 23:39] Ars Alchemy:when the 3 brothers stop holding onto each other for dear life and realize that their decent somehow had ended [02/11/14 23:40] Ars Alchemy:and they look again over the sides to find the familiar looking waters of their own home [02/11/14 23:40] Ars Alchemy:*fin. [02/11/14 23:40] :Rophs nods [02/11/14 23:40] Ars Alchemy:or something like that anyhow :) [02/11/14 23:40] Rophs:Let's move onto the Maple. [02/11/14 23:40] :[Spell] don't listen to the whisper of the tainted seeds[/log] [log The Maple:] [02/11/14 23:43] :Rophs pulls a barstool over to the Maple [02/11/14 23:44] Rophs:It's been a good while since you heard any sort of news I suppose, but today I've got some good stuff. [02/11/14 23:49] Rophs:Yesterday DD tried hosting a quest in the Labyrinth. [02/11/14 23:50] Rophs:StrongWilled Legna had stolen his ring and left crypic clues in the Labyrinth. [02/11/14 23:51] Rophs:Drawings of pumpkins and scary clowns, each giving subtle direction on which way she would run the next. [02/11/14 23:51] Rophs:In of itself it was a fun concept up until it got ruined. [02/11/14 23:52] Rophs:Eon rolled dice all over chat hiding the instructions and then teleported everybody to the GoE. [02/11/14 23:53] Rophs:Realizing that the quest was done, I decided to add to the "fun" by movelocking legna for half an hour which caused DD to disqualify me after the third cast. [02/11/14 23:55] Rophs:I hear that dst also sent them to deathwhisper, far far away in the east. [02/11/14 23:55] Rophs: *nods* A very tragic turn of events too. [02/11/14 23:57] Ars Alchemy:I've been there... [02/11/14 23:58] Rophs: *prods Ars* Did you have anything interesting happen to you? [02/11/14 23:59] Ars Alchemy: *thinks* I don't think so. I mean, I proballly thought it was interesting at the time, but I don't recall what it is now [03/11/14 00:00] Ars Alchemy:however Scorpio has begun rising [03/11/14 00:00] Rophs: *shrugs* I suppose it couldn't have been that interesting. [03/11/14 00:00] Ars Alchemy:and that effect everyone [03/11/14 00:00] Rophs: *smiles* Why not tell the Maple about what Scorpio means for the realm? [03/11/14 00:02] Ars Alchemy:certainly *faces the Maple* [03/11/14 00:02] Ars Alchemy:it's time to set the clocks back an hour [03/11/14 00:08] Rophs: *laughs* I was expecting something a bit more astrological in nature. [03/11/14 00:08] Rophs:But there is also a bit of news you will certainly appreciate my dear Maple. [03/11/14 00:09] Rophs:A single unit of Wiiya has seeped from your roots, very similar to how large amounts of it seep from under Awi. [03/11/14 00:10] Rophs: *smiles* Certainly a good sign that the realm is indeed not dying.
