I'll demonstrate!

Lix, board rules.

Man, three pages in four hours. Just like old times!

All that's missing is the group hugs!

*hug*

Don't worry. I'm sure Soon will be sure to Lay on Hands after he's done with the healing.

D'awww.

Wow, actually, what if she died and was soul bound? How would Soon react? I mean, the woman he (presumably) loved is gone again, trapped, and he has this little gurgling bundle of responsibility to look after.

Half-elven bundle of responsibility. Assuming natural ageing is taking effect, Soon's might barely live long enough to see it into adulthood.

His primary concern will be looking after the baby... which may be easier said than done if this is happening in the Snarled world. Once the immediate danger has passed he'd start trying to get V back. While making sure not to neglect the kid.

I figured that she was self-righteous enough to assume it was her place to judge everyone.

Now I rather want to see you write something with Miko in it just to see your character interpretation.

*hug*

Hugs are nice. Hugs are very nice. *hugs.

D'awww.

Do you think he'd be affectionate with his baby? If he's as stoic as it's been made out to be, he may find it a little difficult without V around to loosen him up. Then again, it's a baby, and it's his.

Half-elven bundle of responsibility. Assuming natural ageing is taking effect, Soon's might barely live long enough to see it into adulthood.

If that. But he's an epic-level paladin, so I'm sure that he can find a way to elongate his life enough.

His primary concern will be looking after the baby... which may be easier said than done if this is happening in the Snarled world. Once the immediate danger has passed he'd start trying to get V back. While making sure not to neglect the kid.

Would he really be able to take care of a baby while trying to get V? He'd either have to let someone else take care of the little one--maybe Inky if he's not so damaged and is on good terms--and hope he can find Vaarsuvius soon (though he'd probably visit often if the search took a while), or he'd have to put off finding V until the baby's older.

Wait, if this is in the Snarl'd world, what happens if Kraagor and Mijung are alive and find out about all this?

Now I want to see you write something with Miko in it just to see your character interpretation.

It's not like I hate her. I just think that she would have no problem with criticizing V's parenting.

Got that right!

To be honest, that might make all the difference.

Understatement.

D'awww.

Yay! *hugs for all*

[Lix Lorn]

Hugs are good for the soul.

The if They're alive queston is certainly-able.

I've made a picture to Zanaril's story . I planned it as a banner, but details are to small.

*group hug*

Woo, old times!



Gr. Still can't decide on what to write. In regards to whats left from the list I came up with earlier, as well as my VxElan idea, here's what I've got thus far...


Thog + Miko : Stuck on a desert island
-No ideas. Nigh impossible, probably, between Thog's fear of girls and Miko's love of "SMITE EVIL!!" and whatnot.

Sarah Greenhilt + Lien : Drunkenness
-Too easy. Seriously. I could do it in three sentences.

Redcloak + The Guy with a halberd : Kidnapped
-Too easy. Guy is a prisoner of Team Evil, Redcloak needs answers. Done.

YokYok + Celia : Unrequited love
-Hmmm... Was YokYok the son or father, and what was Celia doing at the time of their deaths?

Redcloak + The Eye of Fear and Flame : High heels and black leather
-Already wrote it.

Windstriker + Xykon's zombie dragon head : Everyone a furry version of themselves
No ideas.

The entire Hobgoblin army + Gender-switched Redcloak : Unrequited love
-Heh heh heh... I'm thinkinnnnnng... Redcloak is giving a speech, and Xykon and Tsukiko decide to pull an April Fool's Day prank on him. Is there any sort of "love" spell or potion? Actually, that may be my April Fool's submission.

The Eye of Fear and Flame + Miko : Snowed in
-Already wrote it. ... Wait. Oops, I misread Miko as Tsukiko. Sooo... Hm.

Tsukiko + Tsukiko : Snowed in
No ideas that are appropriate for this forum, I'm afraid.

VxElan
-V learns either through girl-talk with Haley or a scrying spell (probably the latter ) that Haley doesn't really care about Elan. So she conspires to break them up and take Elan for herself, with a little help from Belkar to do the dirty work. Can either be one piece or dragged out into a few submissions.

VxCain
-The next chapter in the epic of VxCain, which only 25% of its readers probably even understand...



Any thoughts/comments/advice on any of those? Or prefered projects?

[Lira]

VxCain
-The next chapter in the epic of VxCain, which only 25% of its readers probably even understand...

I still enjoy it despite the fact I don't understand it . I would be happy to see another update of it.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Sooo...Tsukiko/Tsukiko (Snowed in). ...I can make this board appropriate! (If very short)

Tsukiko groaned as she sat in the middle of the cabin. Stupid Redcloak, sending her up into the mountain village without so much as a single wight to guard her and be a companion to her! And no skeletons to use either! All for Xykon though, hopefully the supplies found here would help him find his phylactery. Then he'd see just what a perfect girl she'd be for him.

Of course, now a howling blizzard started, and Tsukiko was stuck here for at least another few days. Again, without so much as a wight as a companion! Tsukiko gritted her teeth, biting back a grunt of annoyance and sheer exasperation. Stupid Redcloak wasn't even giving her any alone time with the wights and ghasts lately; it was really starting to get to her!

Wait...Then again...Tsukiko reached into the back pocket of her dress, and took out the latest issue of Undead Variety Monthly!, giggling to herself in a decidedly...Naughty fashion. At least she now had some way to kill some time...

So...Thoughts?

And yes! More VxCain!

[Lycan 01]

Touche.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Touche.

Oh come on. Do you honestly think Playelf would be Tsukiko's prime choice of, uh..."Reading" material?

Of course, if anyone asks, she reads it for the in-depth, detailed analyses of different types of undead.

Very in-depth, detailed, analyses...

[Lycan 01]

Oh no, I assumed she'd prefer such "reading" materials. I just didn't think anyone would try to write about such a thing, since I wasn't sure how far the rules on "solo adventures" stretched.


Dangit, I was afraid ya'll would say VxCain! XD

[CoffeeIncluded]

Allow me to present my rebuttal.

Dangit, I was afraid ya'll would say VxCain! XD

That just shows how good it is!

[Lycan 01]

Your rebuttal is where I stole that joke from.

Yes, but I am not sure how to string the next chapter together and write it out. So I want to kill time with something else, and hopefully trigger a stroke of genius with VxCain.

Doesn't make it any less funny. So, what did you think.

Aww...Okay then.

[Lycan 01]

I thought it was funny. And I have to wonder if Redcloak keeping her away from the undead before the mission was for practical reasons, or just to make the mission worse for her.


So VxCain aside, what else would you suggest?

Uh...Both?

Whatever you want!

[Lycan 01]

Would have been worse if he'd somehow found a way to "misplace" her magazines for the mission, too.


Haven't we already discovered that I'M TERRIBLE at making decisions?

And that's what the Illusion School is for!

...Read my comic? Hobgoblin Army/Gender-swapped Reddy sounds funny.

[Lycan 01]

Does she have access to that?


Perhaps I can write that one for April Fool's Day. Are there any sort of love potions or spells?


As you can tell from these questions, I've VERY ignorant of DnD magic, schools, and caster classes.

As a Mystic Theurge, she can cast arcane spells.

Yep! Or homebrew.

This website might help.

[Lycan 01]

Ah. Looks like she has a variety of options, then.

Hm. Wide-spread area affect "love-at-first-sight" spell, perhaps?


Ah. Duh. I'll read through later. I need to work on a report right now. 4-5 page Psych paper which makes NO sense. I can't even figure out where to start, and its due tommorrow...

[Sereg]

Nice entries for the squickies. And Coffee's Tsukiko/Tsukiko was also good.

Ummm, not to discourage but we're looking for relatively short stories for the Squickies rather than sagas.

This is Tira-chan's entry for the April Squickie Award

There was a strange scent on the wind, the cat noticed. Not that of another cat but fascinating nonetheless. There was a strange tugging within his chest; it was almost as if she was calling to him, searching for him, pulling him closer. There were traces of flowers and warm earth mixed in that powerful, feminine scent... Flowers, warm earth, and chocolate.

***

Holidays had never been much fun at the Greenhilt household. Eugene would barricade himself in the laboratory, Sarah would cry off in her room, Julia would through an almighty tantrum because no one was paying attention to her, and Roy would be stuck dealing with it. Easter was the worst - it had been only a few weeks before then when they had lost his brother, and he always associated it with a feeling of loss, not joy. So perhaps that was why, when Elan woke up the entire party, far early than anyone else had planned on getting up, with his joyous shout of "It's EASTER!", Roy decided to pull a blanket over his head and go back to sleep.

It was a few hours later when someone else pulled back the flimsy door to the tent. Roy blinked unsteadily in the sudden light. "Whassron'," he mumbled, trying to cover his eyes unsuccessfully.

"There's something kind of... weird... out here," replied Haley uncertainly.

"Get Durkon to handle it," Roy said, hoping she would leave, so he could go back to sleep.

"He went off for some big prayer service, but that's not the point. Look, it's... really hard to describe. If I tried explaining it, you'd think it was some sort of practical joke or something. Heck, I've seen it, and I'm not even sure it's real."

"Alright, I'm coming. Happy now?" Roy stood up a bit unsteadily, fumbling for his sword.

"Yeah, but... you might want to put some clothes on first."

When Roy finally joined them, he had to agree with Haley's opinion. The sight was just too weird to possibly be real. It was obviously a rabbit of some kind, that was at least obvious, but most rabbits Roy had seen didn't stand on their hind feet. Or wear bows. Or carry baskets of foil-wrapped chocolate eggs.

"Do we know what this is?" he asked the group aloud.

Vaarsuvius shook hir head. "My divinations would indicate that it is some sort of magical animal, not an illusion or construct, but any further results are not forthcoming. I have not been able to determine the animal's exact nature or abilities, or even whether it presents any sort of threat to our company."

The rabbit twitched its nose.

"It's the Easter Bunny!" exclaimed Elan, grinning foolishly. "Look, she's got a ribbon and Easter eggs, and she smells like chocolate!"

The fifth member of the party finally arrived; it seemed Haley had not tried quite so hard to rouse him. Belkar's cloak was missing, and he held a rather displeased Mr. Scruffy in his arms. "Hey, what's this?" he asked, his face lighting up at the thought of violence. "Breakfast?"

"No! You can't hurt the Easter bunny."

"What the hell is an Easter bunny anywa-"

A strange yowling had broken off as Mr. Scruffy jumped out of Belkar's arms and onto the rabbit. Haley covered Elan's eyes, but the cat did not attack the rabbit. Instead they were... Haley made extra sure Elan couldn't see.

"Well," said Roy after a few seconds. "That is probably the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. Maybe we should give them some... privacy."

"That would be a good idea," replied Haley fervently. She grabbed Elan tightly by the arm, and they all returned to their camp, eyes carefully averted.

"Yeah, Mr. Scruffy," murmured Belkar. "You go get her."

A little longer than what you wanted, probably, but I just had to write it.
