They say it's about the journey, not the destination. This is true of many things. Pizza delivery is not one of them.

TFW you know what you want to happen but the words aren't cooperating. Why is plot suddenly so much harder to write?

So ded. Cannot brain. Just one massive poorly coordinated and balance-lacking headache. But don't send help. I don't want to people either. X.x

Glad to see I'm not the only follower of Lord Cato, god of wisdom, on this most auspicious Superb Owl Sunday.

Bio

I am an adult, though I don't usually act like it. I'm a voracious reader, and not overly picky about books. I am artistic in a variety of areas, including music, drawing, writing, and sculpting. I have a minor obsession with dragons, and love the color violet. Fantasy is my preferred genre, be it past, future, urban...as long as it has a fantasy flavor to it. I also like scifi, mystery, and some horror. I am crazy, and I like tormenting my characters. But I don't bite...much. ^.~

@AlexStarsion 'S okay. *hugs* I just get antsy. You're allowed to ignore me.
“Eli!” Nikki was elated to see her friend ahead, despite the current circumstances. She waved, ducking another hurled stone, and dodged behind a tree. Blank was going after one of the boney birds, with help from his new animal friend. And the magpie from the ruins was hurling rocks, helped by -- some sort of flaming bird? Way cool, she’d have to get a better look at it later. But for now, they needed to handle the boulder-throwing birds. Something Blank had said lodged in her thoughts. The birdies could fly, yes. And there wasn’t enough room to get her glider off the ground.

But that wasn’t the only way to get in the air. Nikki dashed towards a likely-looking trunk, jamming her folded glider in the ground and using it to vault upwards so she could grab one of the lower branches. Once off the ground it was a trivial matter to climb higher, and then all she had to do was quietly venture out along one that hung above the bird Blank wasn’t fighting. The feathered lizard on her shoulder dropped first, going for the beast’s eyes, and the young lady followed, aiming to tackle the thing and drag it to the ground.
((shoooooort))

"No, I have Wyth. And Ethan...." Amuné shook her head, not having much trouble understanding Geoffrey's rough accent. "But you can be alone even with people, you can! And we're doing that to Cecil -- why do you think he ran off?" She frowned, pulling herself to a sitting position. "A few days ago, that could have been me," she added, her voice very soft. Why had Nymira accepted her, but not Cecil? Was it because he could fight and so she expected him to be rough and never cry, like the boys back home? That wasn't right either.

"Just because she's Dimuran doesn't mean she gets to be a meanie." The girl folded her arms and glared at the Muran. "And I'm not going to bed, not yet. I want to be up when Ethan and Cecil get back." Her gaze dropped to her hands. "I want to make sure they're okay."
@LadyRunic No, that's understandable. *hugs* Thanks for letting us know.
OH that's right she's seasonborn, eventually. Hm, I dunno then. @.@ I guess kelpie number two could take her away, and convert her after, but when he tires of her and abandons her then Clyde (who still associates her iwth the death of his sister) swoops in to steal the baby...in a manner of speaking (I know that's not really how it happens but it sounds more fun when I say it that way).
@Ojo chan 42 How about the father tried to capture the kelpie but had iron on him, or something, and ended up killing her? Clyde is understandably upset, and he goes to drown not the father first but his adult daughter, since that will be a loss that will cut more deeply before he kills the man himself. Then the woman goes towards the sea and the other kelpie turns up, etc.
@BlackPanther Enchanted would mean the humans had magic.

@Prince of Seraphs I think the word holster was supposed to be halter, which I think is a piece of tack?

And ahaha, I thought the same when I saw mention made of Clyde's father. ^.^ Glad that's not an issue.
@Prince of Seraphs yes, right. Well no, more to it -- actually trying to become a friend in a real sense is beyond simply being an ambassador, and Sini prefers to be genuine in her friendships. Friends perform better than tools, after all. And any permanent ambassador role would take up far too much time. But I can see Sini doing a lot of different things for Nyx, depending on what's needed. Ambassador, commander, guard, steward....

But yeah, I think we might wish to pursue that idea. ^.^
Sini: *sigh* Men. Actually, no, fey in general. Sometimes I wonder if I wasn't dropped on my head as a child, that I see things separate from attachment so often.

@Belle I'm loving Arys so very much. <3 I think Sini would get along with her well, actually.

In fact.

@Prince of Seraphs Hey. You. So...setting aside my personal motivations. I think Spring has a serious concern when it comes what Fall is planning. It might be wise to make overtures to Winter, to discourage her from going along with an all out war, or at least from automatically taking Falk's side if he tries to start one with Spring. Sini, given her nature (respectful, cautious, and a disdain for decisions made out of emotion, a bit younger even than Arys though not by /too/ much...) might be a good person to have visit. On business, of course. But I'm sure we can find reasons for her to go there more than once, and possibly attempt to cultivate a friendship with Winter, both for herself and for the good of her court. Possibly with those instructions, though Sini might also think of the idea herself after her next encounter with Arys. ^.^
@Belle We'd need to know if @Prince of Seraphs still intends that, though, as the Winter/Fall alliance means that Spring really can't infuriate Summer and have any chance of surviving. Sini will advise strongly against it, at the very least. I'm quite certain Nyx already knows of Lyra, and I don't know if meeting her (and by his opinion, I'm not sure why he'd bother) would make him like her. For that matter, if Lyra was unwell I would think the potion would be made and brought back to Summer to give her. ...Come to think of it, that probably means that there'd need to be negotiation over who moves where, for the duration of treating her, if she /does/ take ill for an extended time.

Max: One court is much the same as the others, I'm sure. T.T
Yes, thank you. I don't care what you think.

Working indirectly on Lyra's heart, though. Can hardly blame Spring if her affections shift of her own accord, now can you? So either it could be deliberately encouraged when the opportunity presents itself, or it could happen by chance. Aging her up is a separate matter, and one I don't have an alternate proposal for at the moment.
