Shattered & Scattered

Yeah, I can do Syrro. Volcanoes are, like, totally legit.

Shattered & Scattered

Looking for more? I've got a few ideas waiting to be put to paper; could probably get something hammered out after work this evening.

Provided the electricity is back on by the time I get back...

The Spirits Within

Looks like something I wouldn't mind having a go at.

Best of luck to you, AH; this particular little adventure certainly gave me an excellent introduction to the forum. Now the trick will be finding a roleplay and group of similar calibre... I was lucky once already!

But dude, your unicorn... He looks so awkward. At least better than mine , who looks a bit like the unsuspecting recipient of his first rectal exam.

And never fear, Derren -- I too lack the much coveted blue Mohawk.

I refuse to acknowledge the existence of this creature under my name. And prior to the pony invasion my avatar was its usual formlessly beautiful and empty self. Get lost, silly pony. I want my grey blank space back.

Good to see people alive again! I've been here, just busy with lots of overtime and watching for the opportune moment to put a post up.

It was a fine day -- for a Wednesday; then an 'accidental' detour to the liquor store has gradually turned it into an excellent day, and by the time I fall asleep it will have probably attained the recognition of being a 'good' day. Though, there is the one small caveat that I feel inspired to write with nothing to write about... soo... I suppose I'll put the inspiration on hold for a little while.

There lingers the soft air of a light sea breeze, thick with the tang of salt and the endless, rolling cadence of the waves; shattering against rocks, beating themselves in a frenzy upon the shore as shards of foam go scattering in a rush to join the ever shifting winds. I stand here for a time, lost in my thoughts as they go spilling out in all directions – caught in the middle of a veritable storm, with a thousand mismatched ideas swirling endlessly about me. To reach out – to snatch just one, to hold it just long enough for the impression to last – enough, maybe, to give some direction.

But there is something.. something missing – and as the sun's last light slips below the further horizon, I glance down to my feet and find the water has begun to freeze, each new wave building upon the one below, the entire stretch of pebbly beach now a wash of silver-white.

“Salt. It brings to mind the taste of tears, though I shed none now – neither for myself or for them...”

Nestor's words – spoken, as it were, to one standing directly in front of him – tumble suddenly from his mouth in little more than a whisper; he seems quite unaware of the fact that he has spoken, and only happens to shift a bit in his seat at Veti's arrival – perhaps her warmth encroaching on the chill air surrounding him enough to alert him to her presence. And though he does not speak, he does tilt his head a little to the side and glance in her direction; a smile of sorts is offered – if it could be seen as such, being no more than a little twitch in the upper corner of his lips. Yet his eyes are vague and distant, and had he any sympathy to offer it would be all but lost in the conflict of thought and emotion that has seemingly taken hold.

But his Demoness, it seems, has a little more to say – a few quiet words borne on her icy tone; she speaks from somewhere behind the Wherewolf's shoulder:

“Here's a dangerous one, Wolfgirl – and he neglected to mention... those he befriends see their lives cut short without fail. The cold you feel...” – and here she drops her voice, her invisble form perhaps bending over and whispering close into Veti's ear “extends far beyond what is merely real; a warning, I should say. But, of course, for your own good.” With that she is gone, leaving only the chilling touch of unseen fingertips against the woman's cheek. But the cold lingers still with her passing, dangling from the edge of her cryptic words.
