Well we seriously missed you this weekend and while it was fun it wasn't ALL that, Arkon's just bein a brat.

Sat goes back to work tomorrow, but it's not like she ever gets on to actually play anywhosa. Write write, crack that whip, and write some more.

::drags Cherub and Darcy into the corner of naughtiness that she discovered on her first trip to the forum::

Work has eaten my soul.

Once I adjust to the new semester's hours I promise I will re-appear with vigor and violence!



William Shakespeare (1564?1616). The Oxford Shakespeare: Poems. 1914.

Sonnet XXVII.

?Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed?


WEARY with toil, I haste me to my bed
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head
To work my mind, when body?s work?s expir?d:
For then my thoughts?from far where I abide? 5
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see:
Save that my soul?s imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view, 10
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee, and for myself no quiet find.

A woman who references Br'er Rabbit. I'm immediately intrigued. Seriously though, welcome. I hope you were able to take a minute and read through the OOC Rules and Regulations of gameplay within the Covenant. I hate to be a stickler but I really want what we create here to be, quite simply, good.

On a separate note I would like to commend Lani for her creation of the Seduction Syndicate. Definitely moving us forward in the right direction. Nice progression of the Sierene. ;)

I hope, Black Widow, that the continued ease with which you meet your trials is not boring you but still allowing for an interesting development of your own character, as well.

And, also, thank you Natolii for your skills that you offer in the Dueling. I think that your willingness to jump in and offer the very real time and effort to train a bunch of newbies is incredibly commendable. I also think it will create a neat way for these new students to get to know themselves, each other, and create recognition for the Institute.

I hope the students: Angelica, Anguissette, El'Kinid, Tia'Tari, Dark Princess and Celeth Vindra are all getting a chance to get to know one another, along with Natolii and Homicidal Logic. (And equally appreciate all the hard work Arkon is putting into the Inception and the Challenges to provide a unique, or at least intriguing, storyline/environment to grow in).

And a hello to both Kay and ShatteredandBroken and Cherubmagic.


--I promise to return to actual roleplay soon.

The Anguissette

Date: 2010-01-30 20:45 EST
Oh I can honestly say that I have had the pleasure to meet students and covenant alike, and look forward to meeting the other students and members of the Covenant.

I truly appreciate the opportunity to write with such a creative and unique group of talented writers.

Thank you again for the opportunity and I look forward to Amiryn meeting with you all in her own way!

Natolii

Date: 2010-01-31 00:02 EST
I dubb tonight a complete success.

A big thanks to Habib Ben Hassan for assisting with the training (He also wanted a refresher).

Students give yourself a pat on the back, you guys were great!

Tia'tari Blayne

Date: 2010-02-02 12:22 EST
Thank You! Thank you!

You are extremely patient Natolii to work with me, I know I was a total newb and it took me a bit but you really know your stuff and I appreciate all the help!

I've dueled twice now! Successfully! of course I can't seem to win anymore, :grin: Habib was must my lucky first trial run!

I plan on posting an IC story about her training and her dueling. Promise soon!

Black Widow

Date: 2010-02-02 12:36 EST
whatever Arkon will throw at me, i bounce back. I love being the evil being I am, getting myself tangle in the sheets of men. keep an eye out in the "Trails of Seduction" I am making a killer post. Kai and Aolani should get a kick into it.

Dark Princess

Date: 2010-02-02 12:54 EST
Nat and Habib did a good job teaching the studients. Mercedes did good in practicing. she lost one and won one. She also had a practice run against Habib, she tied him.

Mercedes had a close run against Neo. I messed up and choose a wrong move. we had to redo that round. But I learned alot.

maybe this little studient will suprise everyone, espically her class mates.

(11:24:29 PM) TinyTopaz: you may tell all your students that they did great tonight and give them compliments from Topaz. I am impressed with how well they were prepared, kept up with the experienced duelers, and how fast their casting was.
(11:24:44 PM) TinyTopaz: Kudos to you and your teachers on preparing them so well, too

I hope to see more of this in the future.

Great job!!

Excellent work everybody!

Btw, I was goofing off at work, (say it isn't so) and discovered that the Dragonsmark has a Forumboard with Praise and what-have-you on it. I think I might have found it before and forgotten? I can't remember, it seems kinda deja-vu-ey (yes I just made that word up) but everything is a gigantic blur right now (and yes this is an incredibly badly punctuated, poorly constructed, grammatically incorrect, run-on sentence, pbbttttt, don't care, nanners) I strongly encourage that we shoot praise where it is deserved!

Welcome back to all those that have found their journey and return back to the Covenant's confines ::grins::

On a smidge of a foot note, Night Blooms, Dark Secrets is a thread to offer just a taste of where Amiryn started out... just a bit of background.

I do hope you enjoy.

Apologies to all last night. This internet connection is a joke.

They promise to take care of it on Monday.

Riley ORourke

Would it be really pathetic and/or a cry of "ME! ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" if I asked everyone to go read Riley's back-story postings on the Dragon's Tales board? The thread is called "Two Sides of the Same Coin" and I'll be adding more to it as time allows.

If you do read it, let me know what you think. I LUUUUUUURVE feed-back!

Oh, and would it be okay if I cross-posted it here, in this folder, too?

Satariel Shah

Date: 2010-02-08 08:42 EST
Riley,
I love the background of your character. Fascinating to read and perfectly acceptable to being posted here as Riley progresses through the next chapter of her life.

*****
I'm kind of at a loss this mornin, woke up and prepped my lecture only to have class canceled due to the inclement weather. I am free all day. Though, so are the kiddos but they are snug in bed and sound asleep.

I should go back to bed. If I were smart I'd go back to bed. Hmmm.... maybe I will write...

Happy Valentine's Day Everybody!

On this, the commercialized day designed to make you recognize the romance--or lack thereof--in your life, I wish you all a romantic day.

Pink hearts, red dresses, candy, flowers, cards, and jewelry -- nothing says I plan on sticking around forever like a nationwide forehead-smacking moment of OMGZ every nice restaurant in town is booked and the movie theaters are all packed!

One of my students informed me that today is actually: National Singles Awareness Day. And another pointed out that the abbreviated VD also stands for venereal disease.

I haven't stopped giggling about it since.



All joking aside, embrace it. Love it. Snuggle it. Cuddle it. To hell with cynicism there's a day about love and that has to mean something!

Hey Everybody who hung out last night to play one of my favorite drinking games I just wanted to say THANK YOU it was awesomely FUN!

It kinda sounds like a bad joke really:

So a succubus, an incubus, a vampire, a lycan, a kid with half a soul, a flesh golem, a woman with a symbiotic life form, a drifter, a reporter, a vampire thrall, a girl, a guy, and a dude with blue-hair were all sitting around drinking one night...



Seriously though special thanks to:

Aukai, Riley, Harris, Jessica, Kay Michaels, Regulus, Melinda, Zachariah, The Shanes, Angelica, and even the late arrival Avery.

Riley ORourke

Date: 2010-02-16 18:18 EST
OMGuh. Last night was possibly the best night of RP I have ever had. Thanks to everyone involved, but most especially Lani Bananai for organising the whole thing. Whatever was in that creamy concoction got Ri-Ri drunker than a freshman at a frat party! She even had to be carried home! :-D

Harris

Date: 2010-02-16 18:23 EST
I've gotta say, everything clicked PERFECTLY for that scene. It's a rarity to have a room of a dozen all playing together in the same scene and doing it so absolutely flawlessly. Big shout out to everybody that played, and especially for Aolani and her awesome idea! I had a blast!

Jessica

No! No Riley!

I probably should've warned everybody that this week I'm like insanely busy. I like to draw Valentines out over a series of events ;)

But I plan on catching up on my late posts and writings this weekend. It will be crazy busy on the writing side, promises promises!

A couple quick Notes:

A) Thanks to ElKinid, Angelica, and Celeth for roleplaying out the camping scene last night with Tia'Tari. My poor little sheltered mage is finding this whole adventurous thing unnerving. (Writing to come!)

B) Thanks to Vesper/Sat Mun for running us the other night. I had a blast. I love actually roleplaying something other than sitting at a bar ;) Not that I mind sitting at a bar.

C) Oedipa I've really enjoyed reading your backstory. Your brothers sound as scrumptious as that awesome last name you picked out. And it was not only fantastically written but a great look into Oedipa's motivations.

D) To those of you who have patiently waited this week for me to get on the ball I totally appreciate it. Been a busy one and am finally cranking out the writing.

E) Angelica I can't wait to see the artwork you add to our combined creative efforts. Always fun to see the world evolve in different mediums.

Satariel Shah

I apologize for keeping everybody waiting Thursday night (turned out Friday was picture day at the kids' school and we had to do some last minute shopping).

I would like to wrap up the Vesper Quest campaign this evening if at all possible and plan to go forward with it tonight.

Thank you to everybody who has participated so far and I hope that it has been fun.

And thank you Lani for taking the time to write up the chat logs. They look great so far!

I would like to point out while you may be no artist, I enjoyed you making your deck of cards and I'm highly flattered by it. :3

Celeth Vindra

Date: 2010-02-25 12:40 EST
Heh. I was in the military during (and well after) 9/11, so that deck of cards totally reminds me of the one we had with all the Al Qaeda guys on them (dunno if you all would remember that or not, depending on how old you are, it started popping up in late 02/early 03.)

Obviously, yours look much nicer, though :)

PS Do I get one? :cool:

The Anguissette

Date: 2010-02-25 13:57 EST
Kudos on the Deck of Cards Aolani! I'm looking forward to seeing who the rest of the cards are ::grin::

I'm still waiting on my explanation of them. Hehehehehehe ;)

Sorry that I haven't been around much on Amiryn as of late. Real life has kinda put a mood dampener on me and I was struggling a bit with writing and roleplay and all that shenanigans... but I think I've finally got my spark back.

I'm sure the lovely lil Anguissette will be out and about soon enough ;)

I regret missing the event Satariel unfortunately sometimes real life hits you harder then you want it to, and I just didn't have the mojo to play or write at that time.

But I'm back! Yay for that.

Riley ORourke

Date: 2010-02-28 13:32 EST
Holy carp, you people are rocking my socks off!

Drax - I'm glad you *finally* posted that scene. I didn't need my morning cup of mulled cider to get warm this morning!

Lani - if you need any help with graphics, I know my way around Photoshop and would love to help out. Just let me know.

Natolii - I adore the caption for Grar's photo! It fits him to a T!

Now, to get off my butt and write the other posts to get me to the post limit for my own folder! When that happens, y'all are of course invited to post there. In fact, I think I might have to insist upon it. :-)

Treasure Innocence

Bless... but that interaction of Drax, Riley, and Aolani was something delicious. I near could swoon. Lovely work to say the least.

In additional clarification for Carita's threads... Taking Innocence is a thread of Carita's past. The Door thread is her present time with those of Rhy'din.

I just wanted to say... I get super-excited when I see updates to any and all threads in this folder. I would mention specifics, but that would take waaaaaay too long.

Really, really great stuff.

You guys rock.

So, I'm trying to come up with a signature. I have it narrowed down to quotes from the following: Dante's Inferno, some Shakespeare, Gabriel Garc?a M?rquez, or Lady Gaga.

Yup.

Celeth Vindra

Date: 2010-03-03 18:19 EST
Haha. That was rather entertaining. I'm rather curious as to what would have happened next.

Virtual drinking games are the only ones I actually play these days ;)

Jenillisa Darvin

Date: 2010-03-03 20:06 EST
If that game had continued along those lines, Celeth might've had some company follow him home. ;)

But, that's a pondering for another day.

I think we're going to need another drinking game, and very soon!

Since it's happened twice today, I figured I should post this here...

If I'm idle in the lobby, I probably won't see anything you send me. Sorry, I just kinda tend to drift off and read other stuff, especially when no one's talking. AIM meeeeee, that way I get a flashy! :razz:

Sorry to everyone I missed. It's been super dead in there and I've only peeked in maybe every half hour or so to see if anyone's even saying anything.

:razz: especially to one certain silly who poked at me and then poofed only 2 minutes later :razz:

Okay - whoever is responsible for putting the green leprechaun hat and the pipe on the Dragon ... TOO KICKIN!

I love it!

That Red Dragon looks like he's the life of the party!

I should probably post this over on Dragonsmark, huh?

Thanks for the fabulous play the other night - it was good to bring the creepy Mistress of Shades out and about. Lirssa, FioHelston, Ali Al Amat, Rohin MacKurn, Vextirias and Darien Fenner (of course) and anybody else who bounced off of her, thanks for the fun!

Take Care Everybody and Remember the Pinchin isn't supposed to hurt! Wear Green!

Heads up, I will be upgrading my gallery.

The latest version is a release candidate and there maybe be issues that crop up. Please let me know if there is a problem.

What this means is while I have the new Gallery up, I have to go into the database and edit the SQL to transfer things over.

I would love to see more Oedipa! I loved the tension you were able to insert in the simple (bouquet).

I've been greatly enjoying the Unseelie Court thread as well. Kind of a neat walk down memory lane delving into that old campaign world to help you flesh out some ideas. Miss Lani Pants.

In other news my roleplaying time has really been nipped in the bud but I am a prolific writer and enjoy spinning threads. Let me know if there is anything I can help with in that area and I promise to be seen in room again sometime soon.

Hello Lovelies,

Sorry me and my girls haven't been around so much. Amongst being sick and having the general shenanigans of real life I hit a bit of a writing rut. Luckily that all has passed.

Anyhow I'm going to be out of town this upcoming week and likely won't have inet access at that time.

On another note Homicidal Logic's player isn't going to be around for an unknown amount of time due to real life meddle. It's not my place to fully disclose the reasons as that's left to him to discuss. However, I wanted to at least give the heads up notice.

If I get anymore updates from him about any planned return date I'll let you know.

Much love,

Yes stockings for the Sovereignty! A symbol of Aolani's sweet affection for her sisterhood. I almost didn't send one to Riley but technically Aolani would've given her a pair.

I'll come up with something less sorority-ish for a general present for everybody at some point.

So sorry to hear about Homicidal Logic I had finally gotten around to writing Marrok's Dream Summoning. But glad to hear you're back in action just in time for Miss Sat to crack her whip and get us going!

I know my schedule has been crazy hectic: I've been moving. Or should I say 'we've' been moving? Long OOC drivel that I don't care to explain or dwell on, suffice to say life threw me one of those Bitch Please moments and I threw it right back.

On another note I'm beginning to think I'm like the Madden Curse or something. I put a picture on a my Deck of Cards and the character is never seen or heard from again, or worse posts their death scene.

Just a quick editorial note:

A couple of storylines are really taking off and I wanted to commend those writers and roleplayers involved in them. I love logging on and having plenty of stuff to read.

Love Epoch Eternal!

I would love to see more entries on the Directory of all those involved with the Shaitan. (hint hint, nudge nudge)

Thanks!

Aolani Malvlasta

Date: 2010-06-16 16:37 EST
I got this hint in the mail, no seriously.

I'm glad I wrote it up it just took me forever and I had to go through some old character sheets. Thankfully I kept like serious amounts of notes. Aolani's journal made me want to cry though.

While looking through stuff I found some great OOC moments, remember the Underdark Campaign and breaking into song:

"Drow House. In the middle of the Dark. Drow House." I don't have any of the other lyrics, anybody remember them?

......The Jewels. All those Roman Gladiators were enough to make a girl swoon.

Xeon....someday we'll have to bring out some of the oldies, yes??

..and Shadowrun.

....and the Mutants.

Alright my writing quota is broken. I refuse to write anymore until I've spent at least two hours in room PLAYING with some of you.

You guys are nuts! Now that stupid song is stuck in my head. Do you have any idea how hard it is to pretend to be professional while mentally singing, "Drow House."

And I loved the trip down memory lane and loved seeing our Directory starting to reflect some of the characters involved. Ahhh hemmm.

The richness and diversity of the characters is really apparent when their backstories are shared. It doesn't have to be complete by any means: Look at Satariel's.

I guess I could write up my other characters and leave you guys alone.

Satariel Shah

Date: 2010-10-20 08:58 EST
So in!

I had really hoped for a greater response from established characters interested in "adjuncting" in a school setting: Running some classes in their specialty areas and promoting interaction and whathaveya. But I think that will have to wait.

Soooo...

The husband and I are going to mod a few of our older tabletop characters (and create a few new ones) to throw in an NPC folder to help facilitate "props" for storylines.

Additionally an NPC folder of students to populate the classrooms should be added.

If you're interested (YAY!) in creating a character to play in any of these capacities have at it. Or, If you want to help (YAY!) flesh out a few NPC characters to add to the folder, again GREEN LIGHT (keep in mind that an NPC can be accessed by anybody related to the group for their own NEFARIOUS purposes so don't create someone you'd be attached to in such a fashion that such interactions would detract from your enjoyment).

Pick a year for your students and add it to the profile (Novitiate, Apprentice, etc.)

::Nudges Arkon:: An additional post about the different spellcasting schools of magic would be helpful. Though this too should remain flexible and open for interpretation of different genres.

So fuN!

Arkon Daraul

Date: 2010-10-20 15:27 EST
We're going to do some different things. I'm working on an open-ended class schedule to give an example of what the daily life of a student looks like, along with a list of different studies and courses that are available. It will all be adaptable, open for interpretation, and creatively accessible.

I'm going to open a sticky for the NPCs of the school. This will be the character bin for players to draw from when creating their stories of interaction within the Institute. Like Satarial mentioned, players will be encouraged to create NPCs for use, though these will be general NPCs accessible to everyone. I find that seeing the different interpretations of 'bin characters' can be fun and entertaining - to both read and write about.

My favorite thing to create, however, is conflict, and as the winter gets nearer and my workload slows down I'll be looking to create as much of it as possible. The range is infinite - from the squabble of a teacher and student over a grade to an all out magical maelstrom of opposing instructors, I'd like to see it all, and I hope all the players associated with the IAP will get involved.

Quillyan - It's good to see you are still around and I hope to see you active within the school. It seems that Satariel has taken a liking to you...which could mean a number of different things.

Tiatari and L'loris - Great job with the Malaneth Black SL so far. You two make it very easy to keep it fun.

What do you think of moving the de Montesquieu folder into the Shaitan folder?

I know you're worried about the overwhelming clutter and even considered breaking out the IAP into its own folder But it feels lonely out there in Dragontales when everything ties so directly into the Shaitan SLs.

The Storyboard thread could help direct traffic, yes?

Let me know, and if you do approve someone is going to have to help me with the request folder, I don't get the whole linking thing well enough to attempt it.

Such great work going on around here. I'm glad to see everyone is becoming so involved.

Meleigh: I sent a request today to get the de Montesquieu Estate moved into the Shaitan folder.

Tiatari: You have the Primorus Discipulus inventory item.

Damien: Welcome aboard.

Mercedes: No worries, we'll be here. Get back to us when you can.

Invinia/Quilliyan/Angelica/Fleur - Great job in Dorm Life. I like how you are getting the NPCs involved. Keep up the great work.

There is going to be an excavation challenge issued here soon. I will give details later on, but as a little heads up we will have teams assembled to complete the challenge.

Mages will oversee units of extraction teams (4 teams to each unit).
Appointed apprentices will lead extraction teams.
Novitiates will make up the backbone of the teams.

I am more than willing to divide the teams up randomly, or if you have a request as to what team/character you would like your character to be placed on/paired with please feel free to send me a PM. Probably about three days out from getting this ball rolling.

Talk to you all soon.

So sorry about last night everybody.

Family drama, unexpected guest, combined with this cold/flu bug and I was knocked out of commission.

I hope you all went ahead and played without me and I plan on being on again tonight minus at least two out of the three above.

Oh and check your inventories, party people, I sent out Vliss tokens!

Love the new posts in Dorm life! So wicked cool!

Quilly, Uziya, and Albion excellent use of NPC's. I am thrilled with Jolie's expansion (I think you nailed her Q and can't wait to throw in some interactions with her myself) and Myraddin and Faetha's: The dialogue was great and the witty humor had me literally laugh out loud. I really like how nuanced and youthful Uziya and Tiatari's romance feels. Albion you inspired me with the revelation of the effect Kith's brilliance would have on someone used to being the smartest. And Brais, I'm not sure if I'm more creeped out or turned on by the obsessive quality to his interest. I'm not gonna lie, it kinda has an Edward Cullen vibe to it, but at least we never have to worry about Brais glittering. ;)

Great stuff guys! You inspire me to blow off all of this grading and writing for the fun kind. I hope you like the newest addition to IAP Lore (the Mysteries).

Hugs! or Kisses and Stitches I guess.

The relief is nearly unbearable.

I can't figure out who to polyivore on a post. I got Cedes's profile ready for the folder.

Satariel Shah

Date: 2010-12-22 16:12 EST
Just wanted to let everybody know that I went through and edited the Class Roster folder. Roommates have been updated and other small changes. I (with the help of Arkon, KISSES) have updated all links so that your profile actually pulls up (I don't know why I keep getting that wrong).

Also, there is a new Gossip Column up, and for those of you involved in the Excavation Challenge keep an eye on your turn in the rotation. I'm enjoying reading them so far. Don't forget the Helping Hands (orphan storyline) and be wary of my polyvore addiction (it's been known to mug perfect strangers).

Still lovin the picture Quilly, I'm seriously thinking about changing Satariel's profile.

Quillyan Daewen

I'm seriously thinking about changing Satariel's profile.

I would be completely thrilled if you did! You'd probably have to crop it a lot in order to get it to fit the DM requirements, though. That artist is really amazing -- I tried to save as many of his pictures as I could in my items.

Awesome gossip, by the way! Or should I say... awesip? Gossome?

Great news: I'm on break. ::just dies of relief, DIES I TELL YOU::

From the looming darkness of Barud Das came the antiquated intonation of the Dark Mage, the reach of his dread nuance finding the ears of those who consort with the Shaitan, friend and foe alike.




MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Sorry to hear about the weather ills.

Cleaned up the class roster, Mercedes I made a few alterations to your post and sent your extra to be deleted.

Enjoying the forward progression on the Melaneth Black SL and the newer Asiatic styled one with Brais and company. Good to see things are still happening in Helping Hands and the Excavation Challenge.

Hope everyone is having a good time! I know I am.

Alas all good things must come to an end.


Seriously, I was having such an amazingly awesome run of creative fun there with no interruptions.

Fighting a migraine tonight.
Birthday party sleepover for the little ones tomorrow night.
And work begins Tuesday.

Sooo, with that said... boo hoo.

Of course I've never let anything so little as there only being 24 hours in a day stop me before.

Just expect a little less from me until I re-adjust to this rude intrusion into my RP Life. ;)

HUGS!

Shall I boo now or later?


And, will holding on tightly keep you around longer? What if I have everyone jump in?


How about this. Why don't you just post the email address to the Deans of the Schools you teach at and we'll all flood their inboxes with letters demanding your release?


Anyway, just let me know what I can do to help, cause I'm not too happy about you not being around as much.

Quillyan Daewen

Oedipa, I've got the storyboard up. I kinda suck at linking but I think I'm finally getting it down. Let me know if there are any issues with it and I will make adjustments accordingly.

Additionally, if anybody has an ongoing story that they would like storyboarded just let me know and I will gladly put it up.

Keeping up with all of the fabulous writing on board has been a delightful "chore."

I hope the storyboard makes it easier to keep track of what you'd like to read more of.

Satariel Shah

Date: 2011-02-27 18:38 EST
My OCD has kicked into overdrive and with Arkon's move of the IAP to its own folder I find myself getting finicky about placement of SLs. So that it remains clear:

Directly school related (student business, et al) will be on the IAP boards.
Directly Shaitan Related (Covenant business) will be on these Boards.

That is not to say that intermixing should not be encouraged (and would be impossible to avoid seeing as how IAP is Covenant business).

The Zansanette Breeding SL is set to release around the summer just in time to maximize participation in what should prove to be a very abundant source of engagement. (Shaitan Board)

I'd love to see the Excavation Challenge SL wrapped up this week if at all possible and I know Arkon-mun shares the sentiment. (IAP Board)

Additionally, A Viper Fang Masquerade Ball (complete with unexpected twists) is in the works and more shall be forthcoming about it soon. (IAP Board)

I believe the over all Storyboard Thread will stay here for ease of reference (remember if you have something you'd like added and linked let me know) and also the Edutainment Thread remains Open to All.

Thanks a bundle for everything! You guys and gals are like creative juggernauts of gleeful joyjoy!

Satariel Shah

I love the new Austorc post!

Suitably creepy. Everytime I read one of his I get flashes of that Jack the Ripper movie... oh I wish I could think of the name off the top of my head, the one with Johnny Depp...

Well whatever it's called. I get this whole dark victorian vibe. Black, dreary, and slashes of crimson while in a kind of drugged state of disbelief.

OedipaLydia

Date: 2011-03-08 20:57 EST
From Hell!

I only know that because I may or may not be completely obsessed with the weirdness that is Johnny Depp, among other things.

Satariel Shah

Date: 2011-03-24 22:42 EST
Johnny Depp is gearing up for another Tim Burton/Helena Bonham Carter movie. It's a remake (of a sorts) of that old soap opera that had a vampire as the lead, I think it's called Dark Shadows?

Anywhosa, I think I missed you tonight. Had a nasty storm that made the connection temperamental.

Congrats on the outcome of the Liminal State; I've got an SL in mind for Oedipa's newfound self (Covenant aspirations anyone?).

Love the new Crimson Thorn pieces.

With Aolani returned, Zansanette stirring, Aukai working his zealots, I'm getting pretty excited about STUFFZ. Sorry I've been MIA a bit. April is always massively busy for me.

Keep writing, I Love Reading it all!

OedipaLydia

Hunting Grounds SL kicks some serious ass. Have an idea or two to play off of it - hopefully I'll get a chance to put those together soon.

Things have been crazy-busy with the semester wrapping up and other awesomeness... I'm so throwing myself back in the creative mix ASAP.

Satariel Shah

Date: 2011-05-20 00:06 EST

I'm excited and I think it'll be a ton of fun. I'm wrapping up some OOC stuff around here myself. Pesky IRL constantly derailing timelines. No worries though, we're not going anywhere.

I would like to thank everybody who interacted with my delightfully evocative Sierene this evening!

Thank you for the laugh out loud moments, and the squirmingly heated ones, and the genuine appreciation for the fine turned words.



Of course, special special thanks to Draxcilian for making my toes curl. As always.

To drinking games in the future!

I'm thinking:

A Zealot Made: Pearls of Miscommunication

Aukai

Absolutely. The original idea of her and Parisa paralleling one another in the same thread was good in theory, but it seems they are both deserving their own spotlight.

I would like to extend a formal invite to the players of the Shaitan to take part, if they're willing, in my current story-arc Wrong Turn. I'm out to tell an old fashioned terror story with some psychological notations about how choices intersect, backfire, and/or snowball.

The story is still budding and I'm not putting a leash on participation as I'm firmly about letting play evolve itself. I look forward to playing with you all as some very interesting results can come of this.

I just wanted to say that I am incredibly impressed and thrilled with the joint tie-in storyline that Ravening Hunger has become. It is fabulous to see all the talent and varying responses that speak to the wonderfully eclectic setting of Rhy'Din.

I love the Alien vs. Predators vibe we've got going on and love that the IAP students are (as always) totally willing to throw themselves at any challenge given them.

Icons will be distributed toward the end of July. Get on board if you haven't already!
