I am the one who sows fear and spreads terror.

I am Ouranos the Witch-King and we are resisting. I lead them. The faes. The elves. The dwarfs. The sirens. The nymphs. The whole Fair Folk marchs behind me.

Quick attack. Never let them get close, or they'll catch us. They're killing us. I won't let our blood get spilled. An eye for an eye. That's my policy.

I don't care if they hate me more for it.

I hope they hate me.

For I hate them even more.

And that fucking Spider Brotherhood that doesn't want to take a stand... I despise those soldiers of fortune. Their three heads who stay in the shadow, eager to sell their soul for whoever pays the price. I spite the Harvestman, sir of Silence, stuck in his godforsaken neutrality. I spite the Black Widow, master of toxins and poison, who could be our greatest deathbringer yet stands for nothing. I spite the Tarantula, lady of the Dark, and whose hate for mankind isn't strong enough to risk her head for the cause.

Take a stand. Take action. You're with us or against us, no in-between. For we are all the same for them, dirty Pix, children thieves, terrorists, barbarians. You will die as one of us no matter what, and you can be as righteous as you want, the men under the red coat won't care at your trial. You will die the same if you're just the local village witch minding your business or if you're a freedom fighter, so fight for liberty. Make them fear for their life as much as we fear for ours. Call me a monster, a creature all you want.

I am already the monster in my daughter's eyes. I couldn't care less.

Do I, though? Am I numb to Rhea's tears when she gets a smack or two? Do I think it's deserved when her nose bleeds after an endured hit? I won't let them make an orphan of my daughter.

But I don't have enough time to be a good father.

I don't have time and I don't have the patience to raise a child. I don't know a discipline that isn't brutal. I don't know an education that isn't violent. Her mother just put her in my arms and died. I am not gentle.

Yet I hope she hears me beg for her forgiveness when she's asleep.

I won't have enough time.

I don't have enough time.

She's hidden in that little house in the woods. Safe, at least. They won't find her here. I am not a good father, but I won't let my daughter grow in fear of mankind. I won't let her live every day of her life terrorised by the Inquisition.

Every slap, every smack, every punishment isn't by hate. Does she know it? This isn't by pleasure, neither. She may not be happy, but how can happiness matter if you aren't safe?

Who is more afraid of spiders, Jon or Theon?

(TW Spiders)

There is a spider behind my toilet, a large spider, it has not been possible to capture said spider, I’m thinking the spider might make it into a fic, but how are Theon and Jon reacting?

You, my dear, are invaluable. Lying here not knowing which way to put my leg so it doesn't smart or prickle and desperate for distraction, this is just what I needed! 🥰

Sooo, spiders. I hate them. I loathe them. I'm the biggest arachnophobic I know, even a simple harvestman would send me limping for the hills. And I might be influenced by Kit's fear of spiders too, but I always thought it would be absolutely hilarious if Jon – brave, valiant Jon Snow, who has stared the Night King in the eye and yelled at a fucking giant-ass undead dragon – would be scared of a tiny spider.

This of course holds a fuckton of potential Greysnow scenes in modern AUs where Theon has to rescue his fair maiden from an eight-legged nightmare while of course mercilessly teasing him about it...

OR an in-canon AU where Jon gets attacked by one of those huge ice spider thingies or whatever they are (at this point I want to thank Dickhead&Dickhead for not putting humongous ice spiders in GoT, still hate you guys 😘) and brittle, frail Theon has to take over and blow the monster to smithereens with a burning arrow or so.

As to your spider, I fear I can't offer sound advice. My logic, what little I possess, completely flies out of the window when a spider is near. No capture, only kill. They DO come back in. Hoover them in. Generate a vacuum to rip that fucker apart in there. Closely observe hoover for the next seven hours in case the critter survived and comes back out. Refuse to touch said hoover until someone has gone and emptied it. Only step into spaces previously occupied by spider when armed with a flamethrower just in case there was two of them for the next week. In doubt... move house.

Thank you so much for the ask ❤️❤️❤️

i know its not their fault, and their faces are very cute, and their mouths are too small to bite me, and theyre very skittish and shy. but. whenever i see a harvestmans long skinny legs i get so fucking freaked out. i hate it.

[wahbegan]

I don’t know why i’m so fascinated with dissecting and best harnessing arachnophobia for horror purposes but okay here we go i’ve done it i’ve broken the fear of spiders down into its five main components. For this exercise, we’re ignoring temperament and actual danger of spiders because, as any arachnophobe you’ve ever told “that one’s harmless just leave it alone” will attest, it doesn’t factor in. Let us begin.

1. Angularity: It can’t be too round, or it becomes a cutesy children’s character. It must be acute, but too many sharp angles and it becomes a geometry monster and we enter silly town. Spider with maximum optimal angularity for invoking fear: Nephila family (Orb weavers)

2. Bristliness, probably the least important, but bristliness is an important component, particularly on the legs. Interestingly, a fuzzy enough abdomen MAY decrease the human fear response, but leg bristles are almost a requirement. Optimal bristle for invoking fear: Theraphosidae family (Tarantulas)

3. Legginess: For clarification, the adjective “legginess” here refers to both length and number of legs. This factor is unique in its simplicity, in that it extends in one direction to infinity. The leggier something is without increasing body length, the worse it is. Bar none. This may even be where arachnophobia stems from. Observe, if you will, neither spiders so sort of cheating, but the only two creatures on earth feared and hated for legginess alone. An arachnid of the order Opiliones (Harvestman), and, the single best example and inspiration for this thesis: Scutigera Coleoptrata, better known as the humble house centipede.  

4. Size: Now, for the big (tee hee) one. Like angularity, there is a golden zone. it’s tempting to just go BIGGER IS BETTER but a spider the size of a yorkshire terrier in your bedroom is much scarier than Shelob. Scale to characters is everything. If you’re going horror, hand-sized to dog-sized spider is best. Larger and we enter Sci-Fi or Fantasy Town. The spider has to be sized, whether bigger or smaller, in such a way that it looks like it’s directly proportional to the protagonist. For example!

Tarantula (1955)

Still has some merit, but the size of the thing is so absurd as to render interaction between it and a human directly unlikely 

vs.

Enemy (2013)

The fact that this is his....or, well his doppelganger’s....look it’s not important, the fact this is his apartment is part of why this bit’s so unnerving, but there’s a lot to be said about how the thing is directly scaled to Gyllenhaal as well. A much smaller spider than the eponymous Tarantula, but conversely a much more effective one. 

5. Alien Face: No, not alien like that, ya dingus. No emotion, ideally, should be able to be read into a spider’s face, projected or not. Multiple eyes are usually necessary, or tiny, completely black ones that make it look almost eyeless. Large mandibles or fangs are good, although I would caution against giving the spider jaws and/or a throat a la Shelob and IT in the miniseries as this makes it less spider-ish, and is unnecessary. Now, when making a face truly alien, keep in mind the human tendency to project a human face onto objects where there is none and design accordingly. Consider the Salticidae (Jumping spider) face

That thing’s fucking adorable!! It does have multiple eyes, true, but the two center ones are what your eye is drawn to, and not only does it look like it has an expression, it looks like it has a fucking kawaii surprised expression and shops at god damned Lush. 

Right? Now let’s look at Deinopidae, the family of Ogre-Faced Spiders

The center eyes have an almost identical composition if you just cut them out and put them next to each other, but because of the surrounding face, the eyes appear angry and hostile. 

The secret is to apply the angularity principle to the face as well as the body. Unpleasant angles or a facial construction so unusual it can’t be made into a roughly human face, unusual eye placement either tiny or huge black eyes, large fangs these are all things a good shit-your-pants spiders’ face should have.

Then, of course, there’s outside factors that influence the spider’s effectiveness. The sound it makes, the movement, the environment it’s in, etc. BUT on a PURELY visual level, i think those are the 5 keys to unlocking the secret to designing a spider that will drive an arachnophobe completely mad

Angularity, Bristliness, Leginess, Size, and Alien Face

Roleplay Server Log #298

"Visiting the Mainframe, Off to the Bar”

-a few hours pass-

[Notch] Opens his phone to see what Cp put as a contact number-

-CP's number is under "Shut the Fuck up"-

[Notch] Sighs and dials it-

[CP] Soon picks up- What?

[Notch] I think she's gone.

[CP] - On our way- He hangs up and teleports himself, Deer, and Flux to the apartment

[Notch] That didn't go well...

[Flux] - What happened?

[Notch]She's just super nosy and I didn't have my story straight with what my coworkers told her-

[Flux] Puts a hand on Notch's shoulder- Don't worry, I'm sure we can shore up any loose ends

[Notch] Leans on her quietly-

[CP] - So now what?

[Deer] - I suggest some cleaning

[Notch] Me casa su casa....

[Deer] - What?

[CP] - A stupid Spanish saying, that's all

[Notch] My house is your house. But I warn you, what's in the fridge hasn't been touched in a very long time.

[CP] - So burn it?

[Notch] Umm... More like bag it and take it out to the can?

[CP] - But fire is more fun

[Notch] ...

[Flux] - CP...

[Deer] - Why would it not having been touched so long be bad?

[Notch] Because things rot out here. They get moldy and fall apart.

[Deer] - Rot?

[Notch] You know how... if you throw an item down it despawns after a bit? Like that but slowly falling apart and then vanishing.

[Deer] - Oh, I see.- Her stomach rumbles a little- Maybe somebody should go get food...

[Notch] I'll get the food. Just in case the house is being watched.

[Flux] - Go, we'll work on stuff here

[Notch] Leaves in his small car and comes back shortly afterwards with a great deal of fried chicken, slaw, and potatoes - I know it's boring American- style food. But it's quick and no one bats an eye when you buy lots.

[Flux] Had been using her magic to remove the dust in the house and CP had cleared out the fridge.  Deer was airing out the house from the smell from the fridge-

[Notch] it smells better in here at least. I brought some soda too.

[Flux] - Soda?

[Deer] - Oh, like the bubbly stuff from Yaunfen's seed?

[Notch] Maybe? It's a bit like that orange potion Doc gives when people get hurt too. Soda comes in lots of flavors. He chunks down a bag full of colorful cans

[Deer] Pokes at the chicken- What is this?

[Notch] Hmm? It's just chicken

[Deer] - But it looks so different...

[Notch] Well it's fried instead of roasted.

[Flux] - Let's sit down and eat

[Notch] good enough for me, come on Cp. Have some food.

[CP] - I'm fine

[Notch] Don't make me dad you please. I know you haven't eaten in at least a day and a half

[CP] Grumbles but does grab the largest piece he can

[Deer] Searches for plates-

[Notch] Thank you. Are you hunting for something Deerheart?

[Deer] - Plates, but I can't seem to find them...  It's weird not having chests

[Notch] Check the cabinets, there were clean dishes in the washer too, just tug the handle

[Deer] Pulls the oven open instead-

[Notch] No Deerheeart that's the... furnace. Go up a bit.

[Deer] Reaches up for a cabinet and opens it-

[CP] Is snickering-

-There is a simple set of white dishes and some cups on the shelf above.

[Deer] Gathers the necessary utensils and plates and brings them to the table, passing them out-

[Flux] - So what are we going to do now?

[Notch] We could visit my old team, do you want to see the mainframe?

[Flux] - The main frame?

[Deer] - What's that?

[Notch] It's the central hub for Minecraft. If you have a server, or a console, it's what you connect too when you play online.

[Deer] - I'd love to see it!

[Notch] Then you guys eat, I'll call so they're expecting us. - He takes a hunk of chicken and noms while dialing-

[CP] - Why call?

[Notch] I want to make sure that cop isn't hanging around and that there's someone there to let us in. It is late afternoon.

[CP] Rolls his eyes- But surprising them is so much more fun

[Notch] Mouth is a flat line- Just eat-

[CP] - Make me

[Notch] Is already on the phone and halfway into the living room and doesn't even hear him-

[Flux] She and Deer taste the various salads Notch brought as well-

[Notch] Comes back. - Okay we're good. It won't be everybody but I can show you around.

[Flux] - That would be lovely

[CP] Very sarcastically- Joy...

[Notch] If we can get everyone in the car....

[CP] - Count me out

[Notch] Okay. Will you be here when we get back? Or should I call Doc when we're done?

[CP] - I'll be here

[Notch] Settles back down to eat and then waits for them to finish.

[Flux] Politely puts her utensils down when she is finished-

[Deer] - That was good, we should take some home too!

[Notch] Easy enough. Just stow some leftovers in your inventory, take a little of everything.

[Deer] Quickly complies-

[CP] Starts wandering towards the other room-

[Notch] Looks outside- I think we're good to go. But Deerheart, you need to reequipt your shoes.

[Deer] - But I hate them

[Notch] Please?

[Deer] - Oh alright- She sits down on the ground and starts pulling on her shoes again

[Notch] Once they're ready he leads them out to the garage and presents his little car, opening the doors for them politely-

[Flux] - Is it...  Safe?

[Notch] I like to think so. I'm a careful driver.

[Flux] Slides into the front seat-

[Deer] Crawls into the back, sitting in the center- Are we sure CP will be okay by himself?  Maybe we should call Lie...

[Notch] He may do it on his own. And he also might eat a bit more once we're gone.

[Deer] - Fair point

[Notch] Best to give him some space. - He starts up the car with a low-pitched thrum and scoots outside before closing the garage and pulling out onto the street. Traffic is light since it's late afternoon, and the sky is rosy with slanted sunlight on scattered clouds.

[Flux] Watches everything pass by them-

[Deer] - We're going so fast!  But there's no wind!

[Notch] Do you want the windows down? It might mess up your hair.

[Deer] - The glass can move?  How do you fit the sticky pistons in there?

[Notch] It's got little cogwheels driven by a motor. - he hits a button and one of the back windows slides halfway down-

[Deer] Peeks out, the wind whipping her hair about- The air is so different here

[Notch] Different how?

[Deer] - I'm not sure how to explain it...

[Notch] It's got more smells I'm sure. Not all of them good either.

[Deer] - You're probably right

[Notch] Pulls into the parking lot of a modern office building. It's mostly glass with trees and a bit of landscaping. He parks and gets out to let them out as well, looking around a bit suspiciously-

[Deer] - Everything alright Notch?

[Notch] Just paranoid- He walks briskly up to the doors and a woman hops up from a chair and lets them in- Fangbo! Good to see you!

[Fangbo] You as well, in high def again. Haha. Hey.... - she leans over- who are your friends?

[Jeb] Oh good he's here and... with ladies?

[Deer] - Hello!

[Flux] Moves a bit closer to Notch-

[Notch] Fangbo... we found out something amazing! Not only do the server spirits adjust way faster to being physical, they became more humanlike to fit in as well! This is Deerheart and Flux!

[Fangbo] Holy shit....

[Jeb] Is just staring with his jaw hanging open.

[Dofta] From the hall-whoah!

[Flux] - It's a pleasure to meet you in person

[Deer] Is distracted by a little bug-

[Fangbo] You as well! Come on in! - She starts leading them down the hall- We got donuts and coffee too.

[Jeb] This is so crazy...

[Deer] Steps inside and sits on the ground to take her shoes off-

[Flux] Looks at everything curiously-

[Dofta] Do your feet hurt?

[Deer] - I hate not being connected to the ground, it's why I have hooves on the server

[Dofta] Oh... Well there's trees in the atrium. We can go sit in there if you want.

[Deer] - That would be nice!- Stands up and pops her shoes into her inventory

[Fangbo] Is pointing out people's offices and different departments and comes out into the atrium. There's a glass bubble in the ceiling and a huge round raised planter with medium sized trees and low flowers planted in it and a round bench around the edge.

[Deer] Immediately heads for the plants-

[Jeb] Takes a donut from a trio of boxes with different types and a coffee maker perks merrily by the wall.

[Flux] - It smells nice in here

[Dofta] It's a nice place to recharge when you're feeling braindead.

[Notch] Motions for Flux - Come and look at this- There's a large room off the atrium with a glass wall and double glass doors, it's full of terminals and standing carts of computer memory banks and processors- This is it. The mainframe.

[Flux] Places a hand against the glass- So many lives...

[Notch] You can come in, it's okay.

[Fangbo] Follows them - So if every seed has a potential spirit, a new life.... My gods...

[Flux] Follows Notch in, her fingers reaching for the drives-

-There are many, many cords, each bundled in groups of twenty and laid neatly over eachother. -

[Fangbo] A bit nervous - just be careful, don't unplug anything.

[Flux] - I will not, my magic can connect me

[Notch] Reaches for her other hand unthinkingly-

[Flux] Once the contact is made her senses flow outwards to everyone else nearby, letting them feel what she can for each server-

[Jeb] Goes stiff and is just staring in wonder-

[Dofta] Oh my... it's so beautiful... -a little tear rolls down her cheek-

[Flux] Suddenly recoils with a hiss-

[Notch] What is it?!

[Flux] - That bastard

[Fangbo] Who?

[Flux] - Harvestman...

[Dofta] Oh geeze... did he catch someone?

[Flux] - No, I just brushed against him

[Dofta] Oh good. I've noticed the wild brines have gotten very good at avoiding him. He's pretty easy to spot and hear coming these days.

[Flux] - Good, so long as he remains away from CP's seed

[Deer] - Calm down Flux, we don't know what sort of effects your magic might have out here

[Dofta] You can still do magick out here?!

[Flux] - In theory, yes

[Fangbo] Like what? what can you do? -She's super curious now-

[Flux] - Mine is the raw magic of the game, what allows players to craft with minimal effort.  I'm not sure what it would do out here...

[Notch] Lets just not do it right next to the mainframe. Let's go back in the atrium at least.

[Flux] - Yes, of course- She follows Notch out

[Fangbo] So.. what would you need to test it?

[Flux] - Some basic materials

[Deer] Digs a bit and tosses a few rocks towards Flux, she's already pretty dirty as she reaches up to grab a couple small branches-

[Flux] - Thank you Deer

[Dofta] watches her, fascinated-

[Flux] Once she has all of the materials she concentrates, her magic swirling with uncertainty in the new dimension before attaching itself to the pieces before her, molding them into a tool which has a faint purple tint which quickly fades-

[Jeb] Nearly chokes on a donut- holy shit...

[Deer] - Yup, your magic still works out here

[Notch] Do you want to try something Deerheart?

[Deer] - I'm not sure what I could do that wouldn't end up being super obvious...

[Notch] Guages the space, - you could shapeshift?

[Jeb] Into what?!

[Deer] - Well yeah, that's a part of me!- She concentrates and shifts into her dragon form, nearly filling the space

[Jeb] Squeaky scream-

[Dofta] Ends up against the wall with Deerheart's tail pressing her a little- A DRAGON OH MY GODS.

[Deer] Tries to move around so she isn't squishing anybody-

[Dofta] This is the coolest thing ever!

[Fangbo] Was examining the tool and got startled by Deerheart shifting- WHOAH!

[Flux] - Perhaps you should shift back now Deer

[Deer] - Yeah, you're right- She shifts back quickly

[Dofta] Is practically vibrating with excitement- That was so neat!!!!

[Deer] - Endrea is more impressive

[Notch] But Endrea is on model. We helped make her shape. Deerheart is unique.

[Deer] - I think size wise Endrea is pretty off model...

[Flux] Takes a seat by the tree-

[Notch] Okay, she is really big, I'll give you that....

[Fangbo] Swings the pick Flux made - This is so cool...

[Deer] - Careful, you may knock something out

[Fangbo] Does it work the same out here too? It can take a LOT of swings with a pickaxe to wreck something.

[Flux] - It should

[Fangbo] Can I... keep it?

[Flux] - Absolutely

[Deer] Kinda rolls in the flowers-

[Dofta] Deerheart... are you feeling okay? You're kinda smushing the flowers.

[Deer] Sits up- Smushing?

[Dofta] Indicates a few crushed blooms-

[Deer] - Oh!  I'm sorry!  It's just all these textures are so new...

[Jeb] It's no big deal. I'm just glad you didn't bring the sourpuss with you this time.

[Deer] - He's back at Notch's place

[Jeb] Then you've got more trust in him then I would...

[Notch] Don't talk shit about my son unless you want me to do the same about your little goblin.

[Jeb] Scowls- shut up.

[Notch] Exactly

[Flux] - Little goblin?

[Notch] He has a wife and kid too.

[Flux] - Oh

[Deer] - Hmmm, do you think we should start a betting pool on when Lie and CP will have a kid?

[Notch] A what?!

[Dofta] They're trying to have a baby?

[Jeb] The child of two Herobrines.... good gods...

[Deer] - Not trying, but both of them are very fertile

[Dofta] Ho boy....

[Deer] - I think their baby will be adorable

[Notch] And powerful...

[Fangbo] I feel the jaws of evolution closing on my throat at the thought....

[Flux] - Is it some peace to know they are the only two brines that we know of that can have a child?

[Fangbo] Maybe...

[Notch] Yeah but... it's established now that the creepypastas can breed if their Insanity is removed.

[Deer] - Hyrule is so cute

[Dofta] That's so cute, someone really likes LOZ.

[Deer] - More like Aven didn't give BEN a choice

[Dofta] Well if you're carrying the baby I think you should have more say in the name anyway.

[Jeb] Grumbles because his wife also named their kid.

[Deer] - Doc named our child

[Notch] It's a good name. I don't know what it means though.

[Jeb] We're talking about a dragon, right?

[Deer] - If I remember correctly, it's a fated encounter that brings people together, Yaunfen

[Fangbo] Oh! I saw a picture of them! They're so cute.

[Dofta] Ditto on that.

[Deer] - Yes, always so happy and helpful

[Notch] Gives a little yawn. -Sheesh... I still feel so jet lagged.

[Flux] - Do you wish to rest?

[Notch] Yeah, I think so. I just hate to be a party pooper. I'd say we should just go back to the server directly but I don't want to leave my car here.

[Flux] - Then let's return to your place and rest there, at least for a little bit

[Dofta] It was good seeing you again.

[Fangbo] Same here. Don't be a stranger.

[Notch] Hey, if I learn to make portals I can visit any of you whenever.

[Jeb] Call first...

[Deer] - Good luck convincing your son to teach you that

[Notch] Ah, nuts to that. - He grins - I'll just ask Doc instead.

[Flux] - Or you could ask Lie

[Notch] Do-able, but a bit less fun.

[Deer] - Wait...  Do I have to put my shoes back on?

[Notch] Only until we get in the car.

[Deer] Groans but does sit down and start pulling on her shoes again-

[Dofta] Remember we're her for you guys if you need anything tweaked.

[Notch] Oh shit... that was something we needed. Anybody got a flash drive?

[Flux] - What's wrong?

[Notch] It seems like it would be a good idea if you weren't the only one carrying a copy of your seed. It might be good for Deerheart too.

[Flux] - You wish to carry a copy too?

[Dofta] I have a spare but it's kinda stupid looking.

[Notch] Maybe? Nobody has to see it. It can just be an inventory item.

[Deer] Finally gets her shoes on-

[Dofta] Okay... - she takes it out of her pocket and it's a small robot in a sitting position. - You can have it. Your server is heavily protected though, you'll have to take the copy yourself.

[Deer] - What are we doing?

[Notch] Takes the toy flash drive and gives it to her- We're going to make a copy of the server and give it to you to carry. Just in case.

[Deer] - Oh!  So a project for Doc?

[Notch] Yep.

[Deer] - Okay!

[Notch] Now if you don't mind, we should head back. It's bad to drive tired.

[CP] Had eaten a bit more once the others had left when he felt Lie brush against his mind.  He eagerly reached out for his wife-

[Lie] - Hey, how are you holding up?

[CP] - Fine, but I'm ready for this to all be over

[Lie] - Are you alone right now?

[CP] Frowns a bit- Yeeessss...

[Lie] - Where exactly are you?

[CP] - Notch's apartment

[Lie] - Wait one moment- After a few she slips into the room having used Notch's computer

[CP] Sweeps his wife into an embrace, taking in her scent- Gods I've missed you

[Lie] - I'm rather proud of you CP

[CP] - For what?

[Lie] - Well you've been on your best behavior during all this and I think that deserves a reward

[CP] His eyes narrow a little- What type of reward?

[Lie] Moves closer and reaches up to draw his face closer- The kind that you like very much- She kisses him and it doesn't take much encouragement for him to start stripping both of them

[Notch] Drives cautiously back to the house. It's dark out and sprinkling a bit-

[Flux] - I see no stars...

[Notch] Looks up, -that's because it's cloudy. and real stars aren't as bright as you're used too. At least not in the city.

[Deer] - But then the human's don't get to see how beautiful they are...

[Notch] You have to go out in the country where there's fewer lights to get a good look.

[Flux] - Such a shame

[Notch] Yeah. But they can always come play with us and be under the stars in game.

[Deer] - Exactly!  And they get to build and discover!

[Notch] It was my dream too. I'm glad I got to share it with everyone, and then you guys came along and made it all new again.

[Flux] - We'll be back home soon

[Notch] Pulls into the driveway and taps the garage control. - It will be nice to go home. It feels weird out here now.

[Deer] - There's so much that we don't recognize or know...  I'm glad our world is simple

[Notch] It's just nice to not be so busy. I think I've really come to appreciate a pastoral existence. - He slides into the garage and taps the door back down

[Flux] - By the way, what are these flat things for?

[Notch] What flat things?

[Flux] - These dark colored items with the iron shaoe that slides on them

[Notch] Aw fuck! Those are seatbelts and you two should have been wearing them. Did you not notice mine? We got lucky... cops can pull people over and give them tickets for that.

[Deer] - Sorry, we didn't know

[Notch] I know... It's my mistake. They keep you from falling forward if the car gets hit or has to stop suddenly

[Flux] - I see- She then opens the car door and Deer does the same in the back, stretching as she gets out- So where will we all sleep?

[Notch] I thought we were going back to the server?

[Deer] - That all depends on CP

[Notch] I think it's likely he'll want to go home. I know he's missing Lie.

[Deer] - Then let's go bug him

[Flux] Moves around to Notch's side and takes his arm-

[Notch] Kisses her and then sweeps her off her feet. He picks her up a bit awkwardly and opens the door with his foot while holding her aloft like a bride.

[CP] Is in the front room fucking Lie on the floor-

[Lie] Yelps as soon as Notch enters and turns bright red-

[CP] Growls at them a bit-

[Notch] Can't see around Flux's hair in his face and walks right in-

[CP] - FUCK OFF!

[Lie] Little whine-

{Notch] Huh? What the? Oh shit..... sorry guys...

[Lie] Is covering herself-

[CP] - Seriously, I just want to bang my wife

[Notch] Well I just wanted to sleep. Make us a portal to get back and we'll leave. Promise!

[CP] Sighs and hands Lie his shirt and grumbles as he pulls his own pants on- No point in continuing now...

[Notch] I said I'd go!

[Deer] - It's more like Lie will need time to settle down after being caught

[CP] - Why in such a rush to get back?  Besides, I was promised alcohol

[Notch] I'm just tired, and now you're making me feel bad for inturrupting you.

[CP] - Good!

[Notch] Wilts a bit. He's still holding Flux.

[Flux] Draws Notch's attention towards her- Perhaps one night here will not harm us

[Notch] I guess... I need coffee though. Wait, who promised you alcohol?

[CP] - Jeb

[Notch] Then Jeb can go with you. I'm dead on my feet. - He puts Flux gingerly down and gets out his phone.

[Lie] Sits up, covered by CP's shirt- You're going out?

[Notch] Sure, that's fine. He says you promised him booze, uh huh... got it. Ten minutes? Okay, bye. - hangs up the phone. - I'm going to bed. He'll be here shortly-

[Deer] - I think I'll find a chair to curl up in

[Flux] - I'll come with you

[CP] Looks at his wife and just shakes his head, summoning his jacket to cover himself so his wife can have his shirt

-There's the sound of a car in the driveway shortly afterwards, and a toot toot on the horn-

[CP] Gives Lie a quick kiss and slips outside, heading for the car, his eyes covered by his sunglasses

[Jeb] Is waiting in the car with Yster in the side seat.

[Yster] Hello again. It sounds like I missed all the fun earlier.

[Jeb] Just hop in.

[CP] Rolls his eyes but does slip into the backseat-

[Jeb] Zips off into the night-

[CP] - So where are we going?

[Jeb] Just a decent bar. I don't have a local favorite so I'm heading for the one that has the best wings and fries.

[CP] - Count me out on the food

[Yster] The food is mostly for me.

[CP] - Why?

[Yster] Because I'll be driving back. I don't drink.

[CP] Scoffs- Lame, besides, it takes a lot to get me drunk

[Yster] It's not lame. I don't mind alcohol but I'd prefer Jeb had a DD so he doesn't plow into an overpass. And I wasn't aware that you knew how to drive.

[CP] - I don't, but I can teleport

[Jeb] Well I don't want to leave my car in a random place.

-He pulls into a parking lot and there's the sound of music coming from within. It looks like a sports bar and there are a lot of patrons hovering in front of the largest TV-

[CP] - Oh I could have fun with this

[Yster] Somehow I doubt it's because you like sports-

[Jeb] Locks up the car and starts walking up -

[CP] Follows behind them-

[Jeb] Finds a few open stools at the bar and plops down, waving to get the bartenders attention-

[Yster] At Cp- You might want to take off your sunglasses and just squint. It makes you look like a narc.

[Bartender] walks up- what can I get you?

[CP] - The strongest shit you have- At Yster- Yeah not happening

[Bartender] Do you want it on the rocks? Or just shots?

[CP] - Shots

[Jeb] I'll buy the bottle, whatever he wants. Just bring him a shot glass with it.

[Yster] Hot wings and a water for me.

[Bartender] Got it.

[CP] Glances at the tv and with a flick of power switches it to an opera channel-

-There's a roar of anger from the watchers and some fumbling for the remote-

[Yster] eyebrow at Cp-

[CP] Snickers a bit-

[irradiatedsnakes]

the eye, the stranger and the slaughter for the ask meme thing???

so i totally forgot that i had these ask meme akss sitting here dkhdsvdgskvhdsvhd

The Eye: If you were an avatar of any entity, which one would it be? 

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i cannot TELL u how much i love the end

The Stranger: Are you normally a fan of horror?

sort of? like, okay. i don’t watch horror movies, at all. or horror video games. or really any audio+visual medium together, theyre way way too scary for me, the actual fear outweighs the fun fear. but i do really like some horror stuff! like, trevor henderson is one of my favorite artists of all time, definitely check out his stuff if you dont know who im talking about. also im a mad sucker 4 body horror of any kind. i mostly just like horror when its like...creepy, and not outright scary.

The Slaughter: What kind of music do you like? 

idk fuck or shit about genres but right now my most-listened to artists/albums r the mechanisms, hozier, a small smattering of mumford and sons, the kipo soundtrack, the how to train your dragon 3 soundtrack, woodkid, and two steps from hell

The Corruption: Do you kill bugs?

not usually. some, like fruit flies and the moths that get into your grains i will if theyre in the house, or the invasive brown marmorated stinkbugs that are Everywhere All The Time, but other than that no. like, i keep harvestman spiders around the house, they do the pest control for me.

The End: What would you do with your time if you never died?

dude, ive thought about the idea of immortality quite a bit, and i think i would straight up hate it. i cant imagine living forvever and being happy forever. eventually youd run out of stuff you like, out of friends, get bored and be miserable. id take a few hundred extra years, but id never, ever, ever want immortality. if i had to though, i dunno, i suppose id like...take a bucnh of classes? i like school. i could go to school for a while and learn everything

Roleplay Server Log #255

“Flight of the Pinwheel, Harvestman’s Face, Firebird the Tutor, Baff For Hyrule, Traveler”

[Lie] After a few hours- Doc  We could use some food...

[Doc] Was sitting in the front room reading a book. Over chat - I can oblige. But make sure Cp doesn't kick my ass for barging in.

[Lie] - Yeah I don't think that will be a problem

[Doc] Bustles around and makes some simple sandwiches and a bit of mushroom soup. Xe briefly throws some steaks into the furnace for Cp and then slips quietly into the bedroom- Lie?

[Lie] Is sitting up, having stolen CP's shirt to cover herself, CP is completely flopped on his part of the bed-

[Doc] Heh, I see what you mean. Probably too pooped to even flip me off. - Xe sets the food on nearby surfaces .

[Lie] - Actually...  I think he might still have some of the venom in his system...  he's just to exhausted to do anything right now...

[Doc] Gets a bit of an evil grin - I could shock him a few times to get the rest of it...

[Lie] Glances at CP, somewhat tempted to let Doc do so-

[CP] General mumbled disagreement into the sheets-

[Doc] Lets a bit of statick dance over hir fingers and winks at Lie-

[Lie] Sighs- No, he'll just be mad then

[Doc] Eh. That would be nothing new. - Xe puts the finger in hir mouth and eats the bit of interference.

[Lie] - So what exactly...  Well, happened to me?

[Doc] Me and Flux found you running from Harvestman. He stabbed you from behind only seconds after you came into view. Flux captured your code and I created a distraction so she could escape with it.

[Lie] - If she hadn't...  I would be dead, wouldn't I?

[Doc] Yes. He made a spirited attempt to kill me as well. Thankfully he hit a limb I can easily break off and still run away.

[Lie] - Thank goodness, so how did you get away?

[Doc] I used a trick TLOT taught me actually. I vomited a great quantity of bad code on him. I hope it fucked him up royally.

[CP] Muffled grumpy noises-

[Doc] Hmmm? Cp? Something to say? Now that you're not panicking, I'd think you'd be pleased that I did even some small damage to your mortal enemy.

[Lie] - I think he's a bit mad that you did something he hasn't been able to acheive

[Doc] Aw... Don't be mad. It's just something I can do. You can mess with peoples dreams, I can't do that. It's pretty neat really.

Besides, I'm glad I got to get at least a little bit of revenge for what he's done to both of you.

[Lie] Fingers her hair- So, why is my hair so long now?

[Doc] I'm not sure. I think it was just a slight coding error. Probably a misplaced decimal in the length it was supposed to be. I can cut it for you if you want.

[Lie] - I don't dislike it

[Doc] Suit yourself. Just watch out for Enderbro. He may pounce you and give you a fancy braid. Heh.

[Lie] - I wouldn't be surprised

[Notch] Taps on the doorframe, he's looking down at his phone and assumed with Doc present there wouldn't be nudity afoot. - OH! Sorry!

[Lie] - It's fine, I've got CP's shirt on and he's covered by a blanket

[Doc] What's on your phone Markus?

[Notch] I got a text. It's pretty gross though.

[Doc] Let me see. - Takes the small phone and lets out a small whoop- HA!

[Lie] What is it?

[Doc] Makes a cruel face. - A bit of my handiwork. Let me fix it to a piece of paper so it's bigger. This ones a keeper. - Fusses around and  runs the phone like a scanner over a bit of paper.

[CP] Huffs a little-

[Doc] Gives Markus back his phone and walks around to Cp's side of the bed. Xe holds out the page. - Trust me Cp, it's worth raising your head for.

[CP] Grunts-

[Doc] Come on, you'll smile. I can almost promise it-

[CP] Muffled no-

[Doc] Holds it up where Lie can see it-

[Lie] Is a little disturbed by it- His face...

[Doc] I guess my code wasn't to his liking. That's what he gets for hurting my friends.

[CP] Peeks in his wife's mind to see the image so Doc can't tell-

[Doc] And this is another reason you should be looking to TLOT for help

[CP] Gives a very weak burst of "fuck you" energy-

[Notch] So was this the victory sex? Doc told me you finally got your memory back. You had us all very worried.

[Lie] - Er...  Actually...

-A few of the bite marks are still visible on CP-

[Notch] Oh dear... was there an accident?

[Doc] Kinda.

[Lie] - I...  Panicked when my memories returned...  CP took the brunt of it

[Doc] It could have been worse I guess. - Xe sets the picture down near Cp.

[Lie] - Still, I'm not as sore as I'd thought I'd be

[Doc] You're tougher now Lie. You'll be healing a lot faster then before.

[Lie] - I see...- She reaches over for some of the food Doc brought- I'm just hoping CP recovers soon...

[Doc] grins-  Ready for more sex already? You minx.

[Lie] - No, but like I said, I'm pretty sure there's still more venom in his system

[Doc] Hey Markus? You got any sleeves on you?

[Notch] Blushes - ...yeah...

[Doc] Let me have one please.

[Notch] Sure. - Passes it-

[Lie] - Er, actually, about that...

[Doc] What?

[Lie] - Well, the condoms are made for a normal sized amount of cum, right?  Well, that doesn't exactly apply to brines...

[Doc] Oh fuck... what happened?

[Lie] - Well, it kinda overflowed...

[Notch] It what?!

[Lie] - Yeah...

[Doc] .... What would you like me to do Lie?

[Lie] - I don't know, but we should be okay for now, I doubt my body has had enough time to release an egg

[Doc] I'll check your files anyway. Thanks to Aven I know what to look for now. - Sets down hir command block and does a scan- I needed to do this anyway. Just in case.

[Lie] - Okay- She sits there patiently- Honestly I'm surprised nothing happened before my ovaries were removed...

[Doc] Just a bit of luck, I think, or incompatible file systems? Who knows? - But there's nothing new here, so I think you're safe.

[Lie] - Alright.  Would you be able to tell if the files are incompatible?

[Doc] Maybe. And if something crops up... I can always delete it for you before it becomes an issue.

[Lie] - Thank you

[CP] Mumbled Fuck off towards Doc and Notch-

[Notch] Okay that sentiment I recognize. I'll just leave you to it. - Scoots out quickly.

[Doc] You're welcome

[Lie] - Thanks for the visit Notch!

[Notch] From the hallway- Likewise Lie!

[Lie] - Well Doc, knowing you I've probably kept you from Deerheart during all this, so why don't you go to her?

-After a few days things have finally settled down and CP has gotten all of the venom out of his system.  Lie is at the castle, looking for Doc so xe can check her over again-

[Firebird] -Flies over Lie's house, only to circle back around to hover over it-

[CN] Is trying to teach his bird some more sounds-

[Firebird] -Glides down, letting out a bird call as he circles toward them-

[CN] Looks up- Pretty bird!

[Firebird] -Chirp and land on CN, completely disregarding that last time it'd knocked CN over-

[CN] Falls over again, his pet bird flapping a short distance away before barking like a dog-

[Firebird] -Hop off and strut a bit before transforming back to his other form- What's with the other bird? Got a new friend?

[CN] Picks himself up- Doc gave it to me... Said I couldn't pluck it, but that it would give me feathers eventually to add to my belt

[Firebird] Oh, makes sense. All birds molt, getting feathers that way tends to be pretty useful. Less harming to the animal.

[CN] - Molting?

[Firebird] We shed our feathers for new, healthier ones.

[CN] - Oh, the feathers I had gotten were from what I was able to kill. That way I knew how much I had eaten

-The bird mimics a vulpix-

[Firebird] -Chirps at the parrot- Makes sense, I suppose.

[CN] - And then I got your feathers! But then DN wanted me to shoot you so I could get more...

-The parrot flew up and lands on Firebirds head-

[Firebird] -Pets the parrot- You probably wouldn't have gotten any, so it's for the best you didn't. Getting things works a lot better when you ask. And when you're nice.

[CN] - I still don't see why everybody hates DN, he was always nice to me. He helped me our there in the void...

[Firebird] That was you, CN. He was nice to You.

[Firebird] He was everything but to everyone else on the server.

[CN] - Why are there bad NOTCH's?

[Firebird] ... Hm.... -Thoughtful look, continue to pet parrot-

[Firebird] It varies. Sometimes it's simple, an aggression module too high. A faulty ideal. Others, it's just the way they're made, I guess.  Not sure.

[CN] - Then what about the one which made my brine lose all of her memories?

[Firebird] .. Hm.... Faulty ideals? Aggression module at +7777777. Chill module at -88? I wouldn't know. Maybe it just wants to hurt people. Watch people suffer.  Gets some sick pleasure out of it? I can't pretend to know what they think, I can only guess. -Sits down on the ground and takes parrot off head, pets it in thought-

[CN] - But I've heard some of the others talk about digital entities going bad...

[Firebird] Hmm... Not sure. That's a thing too, but I couldn't tell you much, I was made bad, not much else to me.

[CN] - You were made bad?

[Firebird] Yeah. I was an egotistical prick. Thought just because I was so strong I could do whatever I wanted. Hurt a lot of people... -Pet pet parrot-

[CN] - What if that happens to me?

[Firebird] Remember you don't have to be like that. That it's better to be loved. To have friends. Sure, being feared is nice. Less people will bother you. But less people will interact. Will hang out with you. You want to keep Lie safe, right?

[CN] - But what about my purpose? I'm supposed to protect my brine, but once I got to her, she didn't need it anymore!

[Firebird] Then try to change. Sure, she doesn't need protection anymore. But does she need help around the house? Maybe someone to feed the animals when she can't? It's the little things, CN. Lie's a big girl, she can keep herself safe now. And when she can't, there's CP. But if CP can't keep her safe? Then you can. But the server's pretty safe, CN. *pauses and feels a few feathers on the parrot. Resist urge to preen because those feathers are bad and the Parrot will get to them..

[Firebird] Try asking Lie if there's anything you can do for her, next time you see her.  Can I feed your horses? Do you need someone to water your plants, Lie? Is there anything you need in town? Things like that. *shrug a bit

[Firebird] Above all else, I guess.. Just remember you're more than your purpose. You're a person, and sure, you should take it into consideration, but you choose what you do, buddy.

[CN] - Easy for you to say, your an adult. The water buckets are heavy, I can't carry that much back from town, and it takes me four times as long to feed all of her horses!

[Firebird] There's this thing called asking for help, CN.

[Firebird] And practice.

[CN] Huffs- I don't even have any powers, I'm just useless

[Firebird] You're only useless if you let yourself be useless, CN. I couldn't fly for forever when I came to be. Hell, I didn't even know I could be like This for a year or so! *gesture at human body

[Firebird] You know who else doesn't have any powers? Steves. Sure, they can build. That's nice. Most can't walk in Lava, or fly or do half the things we do. But you know what? They find a way. You can do that too, can't you?

[Firebird] You can find a way to help around the house. You can find a way to help Lie, and if you need to ask for help?

[Firebird] Well, that's just fine.

[CN] - Okay...

[Parrot] Starts making sex noises-

[Firebird] ... -squints at parrot-

[Firebird] Gross.

[CN] - Lie and CP were making those noises the past few days...

[Firebird] Ah... They've been busy, I guess. And you've just been around the whole time? -Snort-

[CN] - Lie knew I didn't like being far from her, so my room is close to theirs

[Firebird] Makes sense. So, what've you been up to beside that?

[CN] - Coloring my books since Lie hasn't had the time lately to continue teaching me to read

[Firebird] I could teach you? Or anyone really could, if you want to learn that badly?

[CN] - You would?

[Firebird] Sure!

[CN] His face lights up- Okay!

[Firebird] -Smiles a bit- Got a book to use? I don't usually carry books with me...

[CN] Nods and races inside before returning with a very simple abc's book- Here!

[Firebird] -Take book, flip through pages a bit- Do you remember where you left off?

[CN] - J!

[Firebird] J... Next is... -flips book pages a bit- H!

[CN] - Like house!

[Firebird] Yeah, Like House. H-O-U-S-E. ... I think.. -Slight hesitance- Ehh.. Yeah, I think that's right.

[CN] - Oh, I forgot my pencil

[Firebird] If you wanna go get it you can? I think I have some charcoal though... Or a quill if you've got ink?

[CN] - I'll go get it- He runs back inside and returns with the pencil- Lie says if I do really good I can color in the big letters

[Firebird] Seems like a good trade.

[CN] Then proceeds to copy the letters with his pencils, both upper and lower case. Once finished he hooks it up for Firebird- Did I do them right?

[Firebird] Mmm.. Yeah. The lowercase is a bit off, but recognizable. Everyone has different handwriting. Onward to... The rest of the alphabet?

[CN] - Okay- The two then proceed to follow the same pattern for a few more letters

[Firebird] -Corrects CN's letters periodically. His writing is very elegant and proper, if a bit hesitant-

[CN] - Your letters are so pretty

[Firebird] Took a lot of practice.

[Firebird] Once you've got the basics down I could teach you that?

[CN] - Okay!- He shakes out his hand a little, not used to writing so much

[Firebird] Want to take a break for a bit? Writing for a long time can be pretty bad for your wrists.

[CN] - Okay, what should we do now?

[Splender] Over chat- I seem to have lost track of Pinwheel...

[Doc] Also in chat- I'm on it Splender!

-The door to Arden's room is open and there's a bit of peeping from his computer.-

[Lie] Had wandered into the lab looking for Doc and hears the peeping.  She pokes her head into the room- Arden?

-More peeping from the computer as some text appears in a chat window-

[Lie] Not seeing the owner of the room she gets curious and walks closer to look at the screen-

[CollaredEverestCat] Hey Arden? Are you there? Don't you ever do anything but play Minecraft anymore?

[Lie] - Oh, must be one of his friends from out there...  I should just leave it be...

[CollaredEverestCat] ...I'm worried about you buddy....

[Lie] Against her better judgment she sits in front of the keyboard, her fingers hovering over the keys-

[CollaredEverestCat] I know you're lonely, talk to me man...

[Lie] Gives in to temptation- Hey, Arden's not here right now, but I can tell you he's fine and not lonely

[CollaredEverestCat] ... who is this?

[Lie] - A friend of his

[CollaredEverestCat] An irl friend? Or did you hack his computer?

[Lie] Hesitates- IRL?

[CollaredEverestCat] In real life? Like in his presence? Not online? Wait, am I talking to someones mom?

[Lie] - Oh, uh, no, in real life.  And no, I'm not a mom

[CollaredEverestCat] .... Wow. Good for him. I know he's not real social offline.

[Lie] - Yeah, he's actually made more friends since coming here and more things to research...  Most of which are friendly

[CollaredEverestCat] Even better. I try to encourage him to get out there. I hate to be the guy to upsell relationships to my dudes, but... it's worked for me.

[Lie] - Well, I do know there's at least one person who's interested in him, just to shy to broach the subject

[CollaredEverestCat] Great... that's gonna go nowhere. He's oblivious.

[Lie] - So everyone has noticed

[CollaredEverestCat] Who are you?

[Lie] - I've already told you, a friend of his

[CollaredEverestCat] You have a handle at least?

[Lie] - Most refer to me as Lie

[CollaredEverestCat] Okay Lie. Can you give me some insight on exactly where Arden has vanished too? Because he and Ms. Cheshire and Zeke have been reported missing.

[Lie] - That's...  Complicated...

[CollaredEverestCat] I know you probably couldn't tell me, but he isn't in the witness protection program or something, is he?

[Lie] - No, they haven't.  They are in a...  Sanctuary of sorts though

[CollaredEverestCat] Oh man... I worry about him getting in trouble with MIBs and such. I know what happened to Bender...

[Lie] - This is the absolute last place they could get, I assure you

[CollaredEverestCat] That's good to know.

[Lie] - You know, I don't believe Arden's ever mentioned you to me...

[CollaredEverestCat] Yeah, well, I'm into a lot of stuff, and I tend to lay low.

[Lie] - I won't pry then, I'm guessing your handle is based off of an old oc?

[CollaredEverestCat] Well... my girlfriend is into BDSM... I like that sorta thing....

[Lie] Immediately blushes- OH!  I see...

[CollaredEverestCat] And my names Ever.

[Lie] - It's nice to meet you Ever

[CollaredEverestCat] You as well Lie. Should I be worried about my buddy at all?

[Lie] - No, he's safe and happy.  He has a lot of things to document here

[CollaredEverestCat] Good. I know how badly he wants to just.. see stuff. He's the kinda guy who'd walk outside during a tornado out of sheer curiosity.

[Lie] - Well luckily we don't have any of those here

[CollaredEverestCat] Must be hilly country. As long as he stays safe.

[Lie] - We all make certain of that.  I should be going we have a missing...  Child to find

[CollaredEverestCat] That's harsh. Good luck! And nice talking to you, Lie.  

[Doc] Peeks in the room- Hey Arden I... Lie? What are you doing in here?

[Lie] Jumps a little- Uuuuhhhhhhh...

[Doc] Skeptical look- If you want your own computer, just ask. Pinwheel is missing.

[Lie] - Yeah I saw- She steps away from the computer- I was just...  Reassuring someone

[Doc] Hmm, okay. Well, I can feel her down here, so you should either come with me, or go quickly the other way.

[Lie] - I think I'll go.  Oh, and by the way, if someone is bitten at least ten times by my pods, it takes about three days for the venom to leave the system

[Doc] Ouch... poor Cp. Did he make you sore again Lie?

[Lie] - No actually

[Doc] Good! Then you're acclimating nicely to the code I gave you.

[Lie] - I guess so, I wonder if it will hold up during one of his power surges...- She then turns and leaves

[Doc] Heads further down into the lab searching for Pinwheel-

[Silver] Comes out of his room with a fainted Espurr- Oh, uh, I think I found who you're looking for...

[Doc] Espurr! Did they get bit? I'm sorry Silver. Do you have a revive or do you need one?

[Silver] - I've got one, I'd just rather revive them outside

[Doc] As long as they'll be okay. I'll take care of Pinwheel.

[Silver] - Yeah, they'll be fine

[Doc] Pats Espurr and keeps looking.

[Pinwheel] Is hunkered down in Silver's room-

[Doc] Comes down the steps into the fire-lit room -  Pinwheel?

[Pinwheel] - No

[Doc] Yes. And that was really naughty biting Espurr too.

[Pinwheel] - No

[Doc] Looks under furniture and such for Pinwheel

[Pinwheel] Tries to sneak past-

[Doc] No you don't! I understand if you're stir crazy. But you can't just run around biting people!

[Pinwheel] Growls and makes a break for the stairs-

[Doc] Chases after with determination-

[Pinwheel] Makes it about half way up the stairs-

[Doc] Grabs her from behind with one hand right behind her head. - Stop.

[Pinwheel] - Nooooooooooo!

[Doc] Carries her upstairs, and into the kitchen - YES.

[Pinwheel] Struggles a little- NO!

[Buff] Is putting seemingly random food items into a cauldron in the kitchen- What the? Is that dragon okay?

[Pinwheel] - NO!

[Buff] Um....

[Doc] 'No' is the only word she knows.

[Buff] Oh... - He picks up the entire cauldron and puts a hand over the top before shaking it vigoriusly-

[Doc] What the hell...?

[Pinwheel] Struggles and lashes her tail about a bit-

[Doc] Plunks her on he table and pets her- Calm down-

[Pinwheel] - No no no!

[Buff] Takes a sip from the slush in the cauldron- She's certainly mad...

[Doc] Goes a bit green - Buff... geeze...

[Pinwheel] Hisses-

[Doc] Is typing one handed- It's okay Splender. I found Pinwheel.

[Splender] - OH THANK GOODNESS!  WHERE IS SHE!?

[Doc] In my kitchen-

[Splender] Teleports there immediately- PINWHEEL!

[Buff] Blinks - Who's this?

[Doc] She was naughty too.

[Splender] - Oh!  I'm Splender!  And she was naughty?

[Buff] Balances the cauldron on one hand and offers the other. - Nice to meet you. I'm Buff!

[Doc] She bit one of Silver's Pokemon. Thankfully it can only faint and he took it outside for a revive already.

[Splender] Shakes Buff's hand- I'm so sorry!  I'm not even sure how she got away!

[Doc] By being a cunning little devil I'm sure.

[S[;ender] - But the bridge was up and everything!

[Doc] She does have wings...

[Pinwheel] Attempts a bite-

[Splender] - Well she has been jumping off the beds a lot lately...

[Doc] is still holding the back of her head- stop that!

[Splender] Reaches out for Pinwheel- Here, I'll take her

[Doc] Actually, let me play her a little bit.  She's probably bored. Just hold her back so I can let go and get a toy.

[Splender] - Okay!

[Doc] Gingerly lets go and scoots away. Xe runs up the steps and fetches a feather toy on a string from the vine room before coming back in-

[Pinwheel] Eyes snap onto the toy-

[Buff] Drinks the rest of the mush in the cauldron and sets it back down-

[Doc] Wiggles the feathers enticingly

[Pinwheel] Lunges at the toy-

[BEN] Is laying exhausted on the bed while Hyrule plays with a few toys next to him-

[BEN] - Aaaaaaaaaaaaven

[BEN] Groans, too exhausted to actually do anything right now although starting to smell himself-

[aven] -opens the door for hyrule to follow-

[Hyrule] Toddles out, and then trips and falls-

[aven] -catches him-

[Hyrule] - Mama!  Mama!

[Hyrule] Opens arms wide for a hug-

[Hyrule] Starts crying-

[BEN] Sighs as he wakes up and pulls out his ocarina, gently playing Zelda's lullabye which calms Hyrule down-

[aven] -tries to rock hyrule-

[Hyrule] Finally starts yawning-

- An old and disheveled Testificate is resting on a makeshift chair. His eyes are nearly closed and rimmed from lack of sleep and his skin is an unhealthy pallor. A few zombies shuffle around in the darkness, but don't approach him. His clothes hang slack on his bones so badly he resembles a zombie himself. He remembers having a voice in his head, but it's been silent for a very, very long time. Suddenly, there's a little bit of commotion as a door squeaks open in the darkness and the zombies make a beeline for it. They're swiftly cut down and the only sound is their forms collapsing to the floor and despawning with a soft 'poof'.

The Testificate gives a baleful look to the intruder. "How dare you...?"

The newcomer runs slim fingers along the wall and is lit briefly by the redstone embedded in it.

His breath catches in his throat and he stammers out an apology. "I had no idea!"

[???] I understand you were occasionally useful to my predessor Slagathor...

[Slagathor] And I can be again!

[???] I think not. -

[Slagathor] There's the barest whisper of air and the Testificate feels a brief touch, like a feather whispering across his throat. He has only a moment to looks down before the blood washes his clothing in a fount of red. The former sychophant falls from his perch and despawns on the floor.

[???] The figure stares for a moment at the wooden chair and the dirty room before striking a flint and setting it on fire. They leave the shelter without looking back. - The Traveller needs no one.  

-It isn't long before the nearby village sends their iron golems into the flaming woods to stamp and swat out the fire. When the remaining woods are clear of smoke and flames they find the small shell of a structure, and breathed sighs of relief that the seemingly evil wizard that haunted their woods and sent zombies after them now seemed gone or dead. It took several days for the news to reach Kore that a seeming champion might be wandering the landscape. And that precious notation was left in a plain wooden box with a few other things. Things the faithful kept to give to their Gods when they deigned to visit...
