I'm still here. Ready and waiting.

Curubethion · 06-26-2006, 06:03 PM

Anyone home?

Butterbeer · 06-26-2006, 06:57 PM

dunno ... it's all a bit foggy ... who said that?

Curubethion · 06-30-2006, 07:44 PM

Big C's shadow, of course!

Ouch! I bumped into a lamp-post! Ooh, I stubbed my foot on a...wardrobe???

***Tessar*** · 09-27-2006, 11:06 PM

I'm not even going to try apologizing, this time

. I'd waste about twenty minutes typing it out, and then it still wouldn't be sufficient.

Sorry guys.

<.<

>.>

Okay, long shot--is anyone still interested? If not, I may try to put together an ending post and close it down, but if anyone else -is- interested... I think it'd be worth at least spending a little time to close.

Also, if I can keep my rear in gear, I've had another RPG plot idea in my head for a while, if anyone would be interested in it once this one is finished, however it ends.

Curubethion · 09-27-2006, 11:43 PM

You mean...this might still revive? That would be awesome! I even remembered who my character was...Haetar, a dude with a shiny double-bladed staff!

***Earniel*** · 09-28-2006, 03:02 AM

Still here, still interested.

Butterbeer · 09-28-2006, 03:46 AM

You don't get rid of us that easy Buster!

still interested.

It's like the tortoise and the hare ... i can see this one is going to be a real slow pot boiler ... takes a bit of time getting there ...but *Kerblang!!*

***Tessar*** · 09-28-2006, 03:49 AM

... you people were -not- still supposed to be interested.

Kidding!

I'm thrilled to see so much interest in it, still.

Well, it's settled then. This thing is worth finishing the quality way

. Let me get working on a post tomorrow morning--I'm going to have to try to get it done before I have school/choir in the evening, since I have school/work all day tomorrow.

Butterbeer · 09-28-2006, 04:05 AM

*makes note in Diary ...flips thru ... October ..November ...December ...

*

Look forward to it!

***Tessar*** · 09-28-2006, 04:11 AM

DECEMBER?!!?!?!

I couldn't POSSIBLY have it done by then! Oh my GOD! Are you trying to kill me?!!?!?!?

I totally meant tomorrow morning of 2009. Geeze!

NOTICE TO ANY NEW PEOPLE

As the RPG is coming back to life, it is still open to any new players who might be interested. Please PM me with a character idea if you'd like to join, and we'll work you in.

Thanks!

***Tessar*** · 09-28-2006, 03:29 PM

Didn't happen this morning--I'll try to finish it this evening if more work stuff doesn't come up.

***Tessar*** · 09-29-2006, 02:45 PM

Good news!

The post isn't quite done yet (I'm hoping to put the finishing touches on it this evening). This isn't about the post

.

I'm planning to get a laptop in a few weeks, so with any luck that means I'll have more access to the internet. So instead of spending all of my time between classes running for the computer lab, then waiting in line, to check my e-mail... I can spend that time waiting in the classrooms while writing my RPG posts

. I'm serious--that'll stack up to at least 40 solid minutes every day, with something more like three hours on Thursdays when I wouldn'tve had a place to write.

Awesome

. I'm hoping this means more posts, and posts of a higher quality since I'll have more time to spend on the writing.

***Tessar*** · 10-02-2006, 11:34 AM

My work-stuff has been totally crazy these last few days, and it looks like it might continue till Wednesday. Because of that, I also had to push back some school stuff, which I'm now scrambling to catch up on.

I'm just poping in to let you guys know that I'm sorry--I might vanish till Wednesday. The post is almost done. Honestly! I pinky swear

. It's on my to-do list

.

Butterbeer · 10-02-2006, 04:59 PM

...January ...February ...

*starts to sing Auld Lang Syne ..*

And for old long past, my joy (sweetheart),
For old long past,
We will take a cup of kindness yet,
For old long past,

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And days of old long past.

And surely you will pay for your pint-vessel!
And surely I will pay for mine!
And we will take a cup of kindness yet,
For old long past.

We two have run about the hillsides
And pulled the wild daisies fine;
But we have wandered many a weary foot
Since old long past.

We two have paddled in the stream,
From morning sun till noon;
But seas between us broad have roared
Since old long past.

And there is a hand, my trusty friend!
And give me a hand of yours!
And we will take a right good-will drink,
For old long past.

Butterbeer · 10-02-2006, 05:18 PM

or ..if ye prefer the original - eashier te sing if ye tankered ...

And for auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne,
1.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' auld lang syne.
2.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
3.
We twa hae run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin auld lang syne.
4.
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.
5.
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right guid willy waught,
For auld lang syne.

(i usually find a mad Scots accent and some hummy-de dumming does the trick

)

best, BB

(ps - congrats - here, have a foil hat

)

Butterbeer · 10-11-2006, 06:15 PM

best, BB

***Tessar*** · 10-11-2006, 10:05 PM

I'm around, but up to my eyeballs in work/school/music stuff.

Sorry--I swear once I get my laptop (hopefully tomorrow!) I'll have way more time

.

***Tessar*** · 10-14-2006, 11:12 PM

Groovy-keen! My laptop is up and running--I now have the ability to catch up on all the RPG's I've been slacking in! ^_^

... *thinks about what he just said*

...

......

OH! LOOK! A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT!!!! <.< Err, I'll have to ship it back to the company...

***Tessar*** · 10-21-2006, 05:42 PM

Geewhizz. Finally. Argh, that post took it's sweet time to form the way I wanted it to.
