You can't love pixels, Tetris.

And yeah, Em and I are staying.
Thanks. I saw a doctor today, he said it was definitely bruised and I could have a possible crack/fracture/break...

Dragona Pine said...

(If you ever feel that way again - just remember why you change your mind. I'm glad you're both ok.
With your rib, just take it easy and it should get better. I'm glad you've been to the doctors.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Deathy if I can love sp characters which are essentially words on a page I can defiantly love a real person displayed to me by pixels.)

Dragona Pine said...

(And for the record: It isn't pixels that people love. Its the people who type the words which are pixels on the screen.)

("Times like these you know who your real friends are. They're not the ones running around looking for an escape route. They're the ones who stand at your side through the worst of it, who never give up on you."


There is a Mass Effect quote for every occasion.)

That's a quote from Mass Effect? O_O
Whoa. :)

Bye, Dragona...

Lucian 'Marethyu' Astaroth said...

Well thank God for that. Good to see you back :)

Vivanus Keen said...

Rose! Oh my gosh!! Thank Heaven again! I'm so glad you are still here!

Jophiel said...

*Makes stupid face at Viv*
*Doesnt say anything because it would muck up her Druid face*

Jophiel said...

*stupid

Lucian 'Marethyu' Astaroth said...

On a lighter note, check out what I got for my birthday :D ---->>>

Jophiel said...

Best. Shirt. Ever.

Lucian 'Marethyu' Astaroth said...

I know right! God I love my friends XD

Jophiel said...

Your friends sound amazing.

OMG.

Jophiel said...

*The thunder roared above her, hiding the heavy footsteps of the man approaching the house. She banged his fist heavily against the doorframe three times.
She looked up from the fire and squirmed out of Roland's embrace and padded towards the door. She opened it and was greeted by a heavy slam of shadows to the chest.
She flew backwards, folding in mid-air and crashed into the far wall. She slid down, groaning, struggling to breathe*

Oh... Only one person punches... Like that...

*She shook as she got to her feet and the man entered, stalking straight towards her. Shadows writhed around his fist and he threw them as he passed Roland, making them cloud around his face, blocking his vision. Then he glowered down at Rose*

Man: Rose. Money is a cruel temptress. You told me that.

*She stared up at him. He towered over her. Shadows glowers twisting behind her, she didn't notice. She noticed when they pierced her skin and dragged her up the wall, leaving trails of red along the light walls. She grinned down at the Necromancer*

Pep... You know that this is fun and all... But I much prefer not to do this... Inside at the very least...

*Pep smirked and the shadows in her shoulders grew spikes, making her cry out in pain*

Pep: I'd much prefer to do it right here.

Looks like I have computer access again, so I'll be able to get on without disappearing halfway through typing a comment. C:

But, that said, idk how here I'll be right NOW. Need to work out stuff. Like why the F5 key doesn't function as refresh. :P

Hope y'all are doing well, though? :)

Lucian 'Marethyu' Astaroth said...

Yeah they are :D Ooooh that was good is it part of a series?

Jophiel said...

(Sorry... I was working on that earlier...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*nods* Trying to sleep but a crow hasnt stopped crowing

Jophiel said...

(Aw, mean crow. Fly away, Alice...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

ALASTAIR CRUCIATUS STOP BLOODY CROWING AT MY WINDOW *slaps* -Zaf

Jophiel said...

(Heh... Poor Alice. Have you tried crowing back at it? Maybe it needs a friend to talk to...?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

There are three crows, so I really don't know why they're crowing...

Jophiel said...

(Try crowing back!!)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Its 8am....everyone but me is asleep....

Jophiel said...

(Try throwing something at them?)

Jophiel said...

(I'm really sorry, but I'm feeling really painless right now. I think I'm going to try and sleep.

<3 )

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thats fine, sleep. See you in the morning, I'll rp then.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Fine...

Dragona Pine said...

(Yes, Emerald - it is a quote from Mass Effect. :) )

Dragona Pine said...

(More Mass Effect quotes - just because I can:

"Stand amongst the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.")

Dragona Pine said...

("It's so much easier to see the world in black and white. Grey, I don't know what to do with grey."

"I won't let fear compromise who I am."

"Your time is precious. Spend it wisely and with those who care for you."

"This war has brought us pain, and suffering, and loss. But its also brought us together as soldiers, allies, friends. This bond that ties us together is something the reapers will never understand. It's more powerful than any weapon. Stronger than any ship. It can't be taken or destroyed.")

Dragona Pine said...

(And now for some not-so-meaningful ones:


"That's why I love hanging out with you guys! Why shoot something once, when you can shoot it forty-seven more times?")


Dragona Pine said...

(Wrex: You're drunk.
General: Yeah, well you're ugly. and at least I'm gonna be sober tomorrow morning.)

Vivanus Keen said...

(*sigh*)

Vivanus Keen said...

(That's a Churchill quote...)

Dragona Pine said...

(I believe he knew that. :P



"I'm glad that the imminent destruction of all organic life in the galaxy has improved your career opportunities")

Dragona Pine said...

(I believe I shall stop because there are people to talk to. :P)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hey guys!)

Dragona Pine said...

(Hey Silente! How are you?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Ah sorry my brain failed to comprehend someone else talking.
I'm fine thanks! How are you?)

Dragona Pine said...

(Lol.

I'm fine, too. :) )

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

James: *He had cried. Tears of grief first but then after some calls tears of relief*
*Erica had just about died, it was a miracle she was sat there no, asleep, alive*
*he had a new plan now*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(That's good! Okay i think my brain is working now :) )

Dragona Pine said...

(Silente - Sophia was quite happy all the way through that comment. Well, apart from the fact Erica isn't dead yet.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Oh good. That's nice to know. I was just doing that tiny extract of them. I need to work out where Sil is now..)

Dragona Pine said...

(Well, the Assassin has an idea. Quite a good one. To quote him, "To put Silente on the right track.")

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Yes. Brilliant idea. Too bad I meant know where she is PHYSICALLY first. Mental she..well I've given up on helping her mentally. Plus the plot I'm bringing up for her soon SORTA puts one of them on the right track..)

Dragona Pine said...

(Lol, ok. :P)

Dragona Pine said...

(At least she hasn't hurt Leri. Physically. As of yet, anyway. :P)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I doubt..no wait ignore that. She as herself as she is wouldn't. *nods* she as she will be soon might...)

*swings her legs while sat on the tree, well away from the clearing and from Leri, staring at the distance*

Dragona Pine said...

(Ah... Leri is already scared of her, so... :P)


*is sat underneath her tree, still sobbing*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*wonders where Sophia is*
*she kinda feels like being shouted and scolded right now*
*or being told she's an idiot who needs to buck up*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((My Asgardians are kinds just there...-Zaf

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia: *is sat in her ship, scanning for James and Erica*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*steps out of the tree by Leri* Can you hear me yet?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sigh. Since everyone, even Alastair, is all emgaged in something, guess its a cue to just take my leave and go wander the house aimlessly.-Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*just down and walks through a portal not really caring where it goes*
*she's bored*
*looks around at the dirty bar*
Mmm.
*steps through a different portal and finds herself outside the asguardians house*

Dragona Pine said...

*looks at Alastair* ... Yes... Sorry... I was... I just wanted to be alone... I'm a little better now...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Or not then. That works too...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((I read. I just had pets who decided that a seed was more important.))

Ricci: Hi! Person!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

You've no need to apologize. I doubt I can do much in your favor just now, anyway.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks down at Ricci*
Hey Rics. How are you?

Dragona Pine said...

... I ignored you... That's a reason to apologise... I'm really sorry... I just found out... Silente has tortured and killed and...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ricci: Happy! Astrid managed to heal Momma so Momma now can play with me! Though Momma and Daddy have been in their room all morning, Daddy told me to go outside. Even Loki is being quiet, and Leif and Kari are with Loki. I think he's reading.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Loki? Quiet? Huh...
*smiles at her*
Yeah. Reading. That's probably why. What where you playing?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Oh, yes, of course. The vampire is quite a contradictory creature. And now you don't feel you can trust her?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Msd))

Dragona Pine said...

... Not at all... She tortured her friends... I don't want to get tortured... I don't think I can ever trust her again... She's lied to me...
*starts sobbing again*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ricci: Nothing. I'm just watching the lake. I really wanna go annoy Loki, but he has his daggers.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Ah yes the scary daggers. Maybe not then ey? How about this, you go hide and I'll count to one hundred then come find you yeah? Sound good?


(brb cats need food.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(back)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ricci: OKAY!!!! *runs inside the house, hiding under Loki's bed*

*sighs* Why are you....?

Ricci: Shh!!

*goes back to playing with the twins, both teething on teething rings* You could at least bite each other, it would be more interesting.

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: *taps into the phone network and finds Silente's number*
*calls it*

*answers her phone*
Mhm? 45..46..47..48..49..50..51..52..

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: I have a proposition. Meet me by the volcano when you have time.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*raises an eyebrow*
I'm sorry what? What happened to not being a threat?
Shoot lost count! Er..
74..75..75..77...78..79..80..81..82..83..84..85..86..87..88

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I dedicate this page to my lovely twins, and my mother Frigga.

Hmm...perhaps to my sister, who I actually care about.

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: The proposition is in no way connected to the threat you pose. I wish to correct you. *hangs up*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks at her phone*
Yeah sure like that's going to happen.
..dammit lost count again..erm..

(Oh oops. I got to go. Will not be back (I think) for the rest of the day. Soy sauce!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hey look, mini you. Catch.
*throws the teething ring to Loki*
Hmmm...is she behind here?
*checks behind the curtain*

Dragona Pine said...

(I think you're mental. I think anyone who does the ice bucket challenge is mental. It's pointless to me. :P)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Do it Zaf. Do it!)

Nope...hmmm..where could she be..
*grins and walks close to Loki's bed*
Hmm...hey twins, have YOU seen Ricci?

Dragona Pine said...

(Lol, personality test for Sophia:

"You generally see others as selfish, devious, and sometimes potentially dangerous. You believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary. You are guarded in new relationships and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You do not particularly like helping other people. Requests for help feel like an imposition on your time. You are not adverse to confrontation and will sometimes even intimidate others to get your own way.")

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((K! Soon as I am able, Derek's getting nominated.

Dragona- to me, I lost my uncle 6 years ago to ALS, so if doing the challenge will make people aware of ALS, and help find a cure, I'm going to do it. I walk 3 miles every year in my uncle's name, and we raise money to help find a cure, there isn't one, it's death. So this means a lot to me.))


Kari: *points to bed*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Draggie post a link to these quizzes you take plzzzzzzzz!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*follows Kari's finger*
She's under there huh? Hmmm.
*looks under the bed*

Dragona Pine said...

(Silente - https://www.learnmyself.com/

They're so funny. :P




Zaf - I respect that. But pouring ice water over yourself, to me, doesn't make sense, when you could just donate money to charity which would do exactly the same thing.
I also do not see why people get 'challenged' to do it, either.)

Dragona Pine said...

(The most disturbing thing is - Sophia got the same personality type as myself, just a little more extreme and violent. And only 2.75% of people got that personality type. It's kind of creepy. :P)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ricci: EEEP!!!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Found you Ricci!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I got-
Your Personality Type is The Artisan (RICGS) Artisans are emotionally reactive, which means that they experience their emotions strongly and can be very passionate., however also have a higher tendency to experience emotions such as anxiety, anger and depression. Due to their independence and reserve, sometimes the Artisan can be perceived as arrogant or unfriendly, however this is merely because they don't require the same level of social stimulation or interaction that others may seek. The Artisan generally prefers fact over fiction and security and stability over ambiguity and disorder. Sticking with convention and familiar routines is generally best. With a healthy skepticism of the motives of others, and a belief in justice and being self made, sometimes the Artisan can come across as guarded or intimidating. However the Artisan has a refreshing impulsiveness about them, they tend to dislike too many rules and regulations and can be casual and whimsical.

13.65% of people are Artisans)

Dragona Pine said...

(Nice. It seems Sophia and I are both The Analyst, but hers tends to be a bit more violent... mine basically said that I'm emotionally balanced and don't feel many things strongly. Sophia's said she was more prone towards anger. :P)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ricci: Uh oh....*scared* *jumps out*

Dragona Pine said...

(I'm currently doing one for Leri.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles*
*thinks about that phone call*
..hey Rics? Think Loki can entertain you a while? I need to go do something...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Perhaps. I already have the twins too...

Zanida: Sil, what do you have to do?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hey Zan! Feeling better?

Ricci: Silente did!

Dragona Pine said...

(Leri got The Shaman:

"Shamans are emotionally reactive, which means that they experience their emotions strongly and can be very passionate., however also have a higher tendency to experience emotions such as anxiety, anger and depression. The Shaman enjoys a good balance between the real world and fantasy, they are mostly aware of and in touch with their emotions. Being open-minded to new and unusual ideas helps them to interact with the world. With a sense of social responsibility and a general trust in others, Shamans are often seen as sincere and generous.")

Dragona Pine said...

(Even Sophia got morality 1. :P)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I'm glad to hear that Zan. Anyway I'll let you and the family..play? Or eat..whatever it is you are doing..

Dragona Pine said...

("You rarely get angry and it takes a lot to make you angry, however you experience panic, confusion, and helplessness when under pressure or stress. You tend not to talk much and prefer to let others control the activities of groups. You prefer the security and stability brought by conformity to tradition. You do not like to claim that you are better than other people, and generally shy from talking yourself up, however you naturally assume that most people are fair, honest, and have good intentions.
You have a strong sense of duty and obligation, and feel a moral obligation to do the right thing.")

Inky Flame said...

Hii *dances cheerfully*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hmm..not sure WHY I got Morality 0 in all honesty...)

Dragona Pine said...

("You feel tense, jittery, and nervous and often feel like something dangerous is about to happen. You may be afraid of specific situations or be just generally fearful. You rarely get angry and it takes a lot to make you angry. You tend to lack energy and have difficult initiating activities. You are sensitive about what others think of you. Your concern about rejection and ridicule cause you to feel shy and uncomfortable around others. You are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Your fears that others will criticize or make fun of you are exaggerated and unrealistic, but your awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. You often resist any cravings or urges that you have, but sometimes you give in. You experience panic, confusion, and helplessness when under pressure or stress."


OH LOL LERI GOT VUNERABILITY 100. :P)

Dragona Pine said...

("People generally perceive you as distant and reserved, and you do not usually reach out to others. You tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. You often need privacy and time for yourself. You tend not to talk much and prefer to let others control the activities of groups. You lead a leisurely and relaxed life. You would prefer to sit back and smell the roses than indulge in high energy activities. You get overwhelmed by too much noise and commotion and do not like thrill-seeking activities. You experience a range of positive feelings, including happiness, enthusiasm, optimism, and joy.")

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hey Flick! How are you?)

Inky Flame said...

(Hi I am brilliant

I had my results today ^^)

Dragona Pine said...

("You naturally assume that most people are fair, honest, and have good intentions. You see no need for pretence or manipulation when dealing with others and are therefore candid, frank and sincere. People find it relatively easy to relate to you. You find helping other people genuinely rewarding and are generally willing to assist those who are in need. You find that doing things for others is a form of self-fulfilment rather than self-sacrifice. You dislike confrontations and are perfectly willing to compromise or to deny your own needs in order to get along with others. You do not like to claim that you are better than other people, and generally shy from talking yourself up. You are tender hearted and compassionate, feeling the pain of others vicariously and are easily moved to pity.")

Dragona Pine said...

(Strengths vs weaknesses:

Strengths:

Sincere and genuine.

Emotionally aware.

Strong sense of duty.


Weaknesses:

Overly traditional.

Feel out of control sometimes.

Assassin: *currently invisible*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*she can't SEE the assassin but as she learnt yesterday he has a habbit of going invisible*
*she can't see an army or anything*
*if he were going to kill her he could've done so anyway*
*stands up and steps out, eyes sweeping the landscape*

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: *jumps down from the tree behind her, kinetic padding in his boots absorbing the impact, so he is silent* *becomes visible again*
Hello, Ms Tempest.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*casually melts away, bored*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*doesn't turn*
Hello. You wanted to see me?

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: I did. As I stated previously, I have a proposition for you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

And what would that proposition be?

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: I see potential. You are... good. Not excellent. Just good. You are clumsy. But you are fast. I believe I could make you great at the art of assassination. But you have to understand.
Our jobs involve working and embracing the shadows. But that does not mean they have to control you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

..I'm listening.
*turns to face him now*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sighs. Boredom. Nothing to do. *dies*-Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hands zaffy a crate of dynamite* not England.)

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: You use your skills wrongly.
Assassination is a necessity in society. Without us, the corrupt and the criminal would be allowed to be free. Criminals mock society. The justice system does not work. It is our job to put right what is wrong.
You are skilled, I will accept that. But you are not good enough. Your methods are... unsafe. You hurt those who do not deserve it.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I know this well. It's a bad habit. Although last time no harm was intended to Elleni. As i said then, all I was planning to do was talk to her away from prying eyes.

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: It is a habit you must break. If Elleni wished to speak with you, she could do so of her own accord.
If we are to succeed in our goals, we must draw as little attention to ourselves as possible. Theatricality is not of use to us. We are to be silent and efficient. Nothing more, and nothing less.
If you wish, I will teach you the art of assassination and how to do it correctly. But only if you will use it correctly.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*raises an eyebrow*
And if I agreed, allowed you to teach me, then broke my agreement and used it for what you view as wrong?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*explodes Ireland*-Zaf

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: Then I will kill you. What I am offering is only for those who wish to do whatever is necessary to do the right thing, even if some may consider it wrong.
Even though you have acted wrongly, and still do, I believe you are not beyond saving.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hmm. Most people would disagree with you there. Although it is amusing when people call me a monster and say I'm going to hell, which of course I agree with. I'm interested, why should I accept your offer? My skills get me by. So why?

Dragona Pine said...

Asssassin: I am not most people. Your skills will fail you. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but you are sloppy. Your techniques are ineffective. Notice the ease I was able to detect you yesterday. Notice the differences in our attacks. You only landed at the very most three blows, whereas I landed many more, and they were more effective.
By listening to me, you will not be criticised for torturing or killing unnecessarily. You will learn to assassinate someone with no trace, and without being detected. This will be a benefit to you. It will stop someone like Commander Keating from shooting you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I have been failed by my skills many times before. And yet each time I have come back.
Commander Keating would probably still shoot at me. She doesn't like me at all.

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: You have managed to survive so far. By my methods, there will be no mistake. No failures. The Commander would not shoot you for helping her in her job. I am aware of that.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks him up and down*
How much time would this take up?

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: I have not taught anyone before. It may take a week. If you were not up to the standard that you currently are, it would take months. I will be teaching you more about how to use your skills correctly, rather than improving your technique. There are several improvements to make, though these are minor in comparison with the horrific way you use your skills.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

A week? Is that with or without breaks?

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: With.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

How many hours a day?

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: One.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

You think it'll only take 7 hours?
*raises an eyebrow*

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: If you work well.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks him up and down*
And in return I don't attack innocents while under my own control? Have I got it right there?

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: No one is truly innocent. You do not attack those who do not deserve it. There is a difference. You would not kill someone for assaulting another. However, you would kill the leader of a gang who was importing drugs. It is wise to let the small fish go, and focus on the people who are the cause of problems. You kill those who plot and scheme to attack or hurt those who do not deserve it. Your duty is to protect and defend, at whatever cost. Money or material gain must not buy your loyalty. They may only buy your services under the right circumstances. There are several codes which I live by. I will teach you them.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Sounds a lot like community service.

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: There has to be order. Chaos serves no one but those who we kill.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

So basically it IS community service...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I'm potentially back now, though probably distant.))

So she has. And it's wise not to trust her, I think, taking into account her past actions. Very few people on this planet are as loyal as you are, Leri'Heesa. You'll have to learn to be wary if you want to survive.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hello Alastair. Hello Alastair's author.)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Hello.))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Hi Ari.-Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I trust you are in good health?)

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: Yes. But it is necessary.



*nods, slowly* I guess... Thank you, Alastair... in our culture we're taught to be loyal, even when it's hard... but... this is impossible... I can't... I don't... *sighs* Sorry... I'll try and be more careful about how I trust... I just thought Silente was... nice...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Oh, please, don't do that, Zafira. Silente as well, I suppose. I do not exist as a venue through which others can communicate with my author.))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: *sighs, picking up Ricci, and holding her close* Miss me?

Ricci: Momma!!!

Zanida: *laughs, kissing her forehead* Hungry?

Thor: I made lunch.

Zanida: *sits with Thor, holding Ricci*

Dragona Pine said...

(Elleni - that sounds cool. :) )



*hugs Elleni back* ... I just... I don't know how I could have been so stupid... even after she lied... I trusted her... But...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*thinks about it*
I'm afraid I'll have to decline. If there's one thingiI lack its self control. And even if I said I wouldn't hurt others I couldn't guarantee that. So no. I'd rather you didn't teach me how to be more skilled. Sorry. But could you deliver something for me?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((I just wanted to say hi to Ari, I didn't expect an answer, believe me, Alastair. Since you're talkative, how is your day going, Alice?-Zaf

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Plenty of people are nice. Someone might think I was nice, if I acted in a certain way towards them. That wouldn't stop me from torturing them to death once I was bored. But you have nothing to thank me or apologize for.

Dragona Pine said...

Assassin: I am not a delivery man. You can take it yourself. If I see you posing a threat to anyone again, I will kill you.
I will be watching.
*vanishes*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*rolls her eyes*
Yeah. Helpful.
*walks back into the forest*

Dragona Pine said...

... I don't know where she is... Sorry...

*looks at Alastair*

... I think you're nice... but you still scare me... You help me... I thank you for that...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thor: Are we assuming I have to work with you to strengthen your ability to whatever we can, Zan?

Zanida: Unless Alastair decides I'm no longer a threat, pretty much. *sighs, eating, and letting Ricci have a bit of her food*

Thor: Do you want to go back to Asgard today, and train?

Zanida: Who will watch Ricci?

I can, if I must.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((As well as could be expected, I suppose.))

*smirks slightly* You should be afraid. I'm far from trustworthy. But so long as I have cause to help you, or this community in general, I won't harm you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*stops at the tree line of the clearing, keeping hidden*
*smiles at the sight of Alastair and Elleni comforting Leri*
*leans against the tree, watching silently, hidden*
