You know... The weird thing is, I used that exact expression (or, to be more precise, "...the universe gained a level of Ranger and took Vaarsuvius as a Favoured Enemy") in one of my V-apologist debates back in the day. Either this is a hilarious convergence of alike-thinking great minds, or some people have been reading my 1000000-word verbose essays a lot more closely than I would have wished for their mental health....
Where do you think I picked up this expression? :smallwink:
Maybe the Linear Guild will find out and manipulate V into their ranks thanks to this information... (Or V will give up arcane power forever.)

Re: Crack Pairings Matchup Table
Where is Water-Smurf, anyway? I'm long overdue on my dose of VxRc. Or VxAnyone, for that matter.

Re: Crack Pairings Matchup Table
One doesn't need to be a fellow arcanist to be able to empathise or even sympathise with V's quest for power, I think. Especially given that, as far as we can deduce, V pursues power not as an end in itself but because he believes it can solve problems. ("...If arcane power cannot solve a problem such as this, then I should never have left my family to seek it out....")
You know, my pet idea of V's past is that he was at first interested in magic purely for its own sake, but around the time he came into Aandy's apprenticeship his parents were tragically killed in something that could have been prevented by magic... (maybe a black dragon killed them? Dun dun dunn! :D) ...thus driving him to pursue magic as the ultimate problem-solving tool. His parents being dead would explain why he hung around in Aandy's ivory tower after finishing his apprenticeship, too.
But yeah, tough luck with Kyrie. Kind of sad that he married (and apparently fell in love with) someone who thought so little of his life's dream. :smallfrown:

That would make Vaarsuvius even more of a tragic character. To think she (if I recall correctly my reading of spoilers) was not even supposed to be in the strip to begin with.

Yeah. I wonder if she'll find a new love - one that can and will accept his life's dream - sometime in the future...

I am also a Miko apologist (one reason I ship her with V is because I find them so similar), but I have not found an expression likes yours yet. :smalltongue:

"I'm getting the idea of writing" doesn't mean it necessarily will, and it certainly doesn't mean nobody else can. Go for it! :smallbiggrin:

I feel bad for V because I think he really cares a lot for his family and I feel that Kyrie's actions, while justified, just made life a lot more suck for him. But yeah, this frees the elves up for a while!

Is anyone good at coding and can put this in a program? So you press a button and it rolls for you? That would be cool, rather than having to keep flicking back and forth between a random number generator and this board.

It had all started when Sir Greenhilt had founded the party. I immediately noticed the rogue he had hired, Miss Haley Starshine by name. We elves traditionally are not in the least attracted to a defined gender; androgyny is what "turns us on", as I believe the expression is. Besides, I already had a hife and children at home. But my marriage was had been? arranged by our parents, and Inky (as I was forced to call hir) was not happy with me. Still, elven society forced us to give the impression that we loved one another, and I kept up this deception even out of the elven homeland.
Anyway,But this…this was different. Miss Starshine fascinated me strangely. I felt a strangepeculiar tingling in the region of my crotch, which I had never felt before. Elves have no special organs in that area; they reproduce asexually, by cell mitosis. At least, most elves diddo. Ever since my two-decade-long puberty at fifty, when I had developed my spellcasting powers d uring which I first developed my spellcasting powers or when my spellcasting powers first manifested themselves, I had noticed a strange cylindrical object protruding from between my legs. I made no mention of it, but when I was older my research told me that it was what the "male" members of the non-androgynous species used to reproduce. This worried me greatly, and finally I resolved to travel the lands, looking for mention of previous elves with this ailment. I joined up with the adventuring party for safety; I had already been accosted by several unsavoury individuals who apparently found me attractive. I was forced to scorch them a little, at which they usually? :P ran away, half-naked.
I digress. Miss Starshine and I shared a room at the caravanserai which we stayed in that night, for she took me for the only other woman in the group. I explained that elves are androgynous and reproduce asexually, a secret which she promised to keep to herself. There was a mirror on the wall next to my bed, and I caught myself sneaking peeks at Miss Starshine as she undressed. She was beautiful, I thoughtmused. Beautiful, but still a distraction, I told myself firmly. I hastily got into bed, trying to banish these treacherous thoughts from my mind.
I added that in because I think it makes the transition between the original last two sentences is smoother, but I guess it works both ways.
Uh, anyway, I agree with Zanaril’s comments. The story reads very much like a stream-of-consciousness ramble (the good sort of ramble, though). Though
Diary of an Elf might be just as interesting to read.
:smalleek: help!
i think we should stay in the OOTS section

In prison, Haley's Dad shares a cell with a werewolf. Long and messy story short, Haleys Dad found a bestial side of himself and became a werewolf.
On being rescued by the Order, he sets off to rob Hinjo. What he didn't count on was a celestial wolf/guard dog.The fight wakes Hinjo, but by then it's too late. Argent has been transformed into a pregnant werewolf. Hinjo quietly reaches for the brain bleach.

*begins to roll dice* Lets see what I've got to work with...
Spoiler

Redcloak x The Hydra
Sequal to my previous story, perhaps? :smallbiggrin:
Yokyok x Julia Greenhilt
Sadly, that seems too easy...
Yor x Belkar (Aliens made them do it)
Who's Yor, again? :smallconfused:
The Eye of Fear and Flame x Haley (French maid costume)
Wasn't he the skull Belkar kidnapped?
Windstriker x Jephton/Haerta/Ganneron
Miko's horse and who? :smallconfused:
Thahn x Durkon (Aliens made them do it)
I don't know who half these people are! :smalleek:
Kazumi x Therkla

Soon Kim (incorporeal) x Haley's Dad x Windstriker (Love/Hate relationship)
*walks away*
Thahn x Thog (Adultery)
Okay, I quit...
Right... So, I don't know who half those characters are... Which pairing(s) should I write out? :smallbiggrin:

Re: Crack Pairings Matchup Table
O-Chul + The IFCC
Pregnancy (use male pregnancy if needed)
You should totally do redcloak+miko. It would make win.

Re: Crack Pairings Matchup Table
Wait, you want me to write those two pairings? I meant the which of the ones that I rolled should I write. :smalleek:
But if you really want me to, I won't decline a challenge. :smallbiggrin: You want cutesy, stupidly funny, or what?

Re: Crack Pairings Matchup Table
Ugh, I made a mistake. For table 4, when it should be rolling twice for table 4, it's rolling twice for table 3 instead. Should be fixed now.
Edit: Also fixed the inability to gender-flip table 4 (which just gives a gender-flipped table 3 result). This is why copy/pasting is so bad.
Edit 2: Meaning it's now possible to get (Gender-switched The really dangerous trap) + The Snarl, which I just did

Alright, let's see if I can sort some of this out...
Yor: Remember that guy in armor from the Thieves guild? The one from the Fighter Outreach Program who would shout "Power Attack"? That's Yor.
Eye of Fear and Flame: Yes, that's exactly who it is.
Jephton/Haerta/Ganneron: The three evil magic-users that V did the Soul Splice with.
Thahn: The Paladin that Haley left in charge of The Resistance after she left Azure City
Hope that helps. And personally I'd vote for anything with Haley or TherkalaXKazumi.
