[Azdaja currently has a broken horn and now also a necktie.]

Alright, let's hear your best superstitions, people. Quittin' time's around the corner and I want to be home in time for dinner.

[ in an outfit that's basically exactly what you get if you google "sexy secretary costume" ]

So we just make something up that's exciting.


This will be easy.

Well, well, well.

Look who's suddenly gets to be Little Miss Popular around here?

My favorite superstition is the--

So much that comes to mind is ocean-related. Do you think we'd lose points for that?

Re: DISCUSSION

How confident are you in your grammar and spelling?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wants_the_phd]

Why would we?

[debug_mode]

For people who bribe me, I'm very confident in my grammar and spelling.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ Already taking notes. ]

We need to consider our outline, then. Our antagonist, the fear or condition to create the ritual of the situation, and the outcome.


Why not make it a tale involving a summoning? Those are usually rather horrific if they go wrong.

Re: DISCUSSION

I suppose it's just as unoriginal for land dweller to write a story that takes place on land, if I look at it that way.

[wants_the_phd]

I think that's just called "employment".

...Well, one I like, anyway...

...were the wedding traditions based around the aquatic serpent Gizamaluke. The rats of Burmecia would all make pilgrimage to stand before it and make their vows, and the shrine to the beast was built around the ringing of bells.

It could be cute if we made up a yarn about getting married in front of the Forever Snake.

[debug_mode]

This one better have some pretty good perks, if you get what I mean.

I'm still waiting for my bribes from last time. And really. How about a "Hello, Your Name?" "How have you been, Your Name?" Nope, nope. Just get to work!

Thanks, Azdaja.

Re: DISCUSSION

[finalbows]

Why not do the ocean? We just had to throw our selves in it enough we might as well reap some thematic benefit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wants_the_phd]

Also it's a common enough occurrence that it's more likely to sound based in reality. In fact, it may be happening right now.

Re: DISCUSSION

[finalbows]

Oh, base it around fear. That's a good angle. Fear sells.

Hello, Your Name. How have you been, Your Name? ♥

Re: DISCUSSION

[strateelgic]

I was thinking something more fun and light-hearted - like if blood is spilled three times in a whirlpool then an undead shark will rise and devour anyone nearby.

[How is this light-hearted.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[wants_the_phd]

And the best lies are those based on truths.

Re: DISCUSSION

[strateelgic]

True enough!

I admit my talents don't really lie in storytelling, however.

Re: DISCUSSION

[poisonista]

I wonder about your definition of "light-hearted" sometimes, Leviathan.

[wants_the_phd]

What does getting married involve, anyway?

Well, I guess we can make up our own rules, now.

You know, I could be doing a lot better! I'm sick and tired of being treated like garbage by half the flocks here. All I asked for was a little fruit, and more than half of them just told me some equivalent of: "Fuuuuuck off!" That includes Rose, courtesy of Angel Devil by the way!
