  • (Ministry of Marital Affairs): Daraius (from the Aetherways) says, "I'm so proud."

    I never thought I'd hear these words from Daraius.
  • Yes, but were they directed at you?
    I'm Lucidian. If I don't get pedantic every so often, I might explode.
  • Tridemon said:
    Yes, but were they directed at you?
    They were :P

    Huffing indignantly, a morbidly obese black cat trundles in from the north.

    A dark nighthag nods her head at Scanlan.

    An illithoid scourge spares Scanlan a quick glance.


    Scanlan exhales slowly, allowing a long fluid breath to creep from his lungs.


    Scanlan gets down on one knee and, while holding forth a silver and sapphire ring, declares his eternal love for you, and asks you to marry him. Type AGREE if you will agree to marry him.


    You joyfully accept Scanlan's proposal of marriage, and his gift of a silver and sapphire ring.

    Master Scanlan Stormcrow, the Dirgesinger says, "I gave you the wrong ring."


    Midnight shadows coalesce around a new day, and Mother Night embraces the land in utter darkness.

    It is now the 5th of Vestian, 444 years after the Coming of Estarra.


     

    Master Scanlan Stormcrow, the Dirgesinger says, "What a start."


    Scanlan stands up and stretches his arms out wide.


    You thrust your palm towards your forehead and hit it with a resounding *smack*!


    Scanlan gives a midnight black ring etched with threads of silver to you.


    You say, "Say that's ok."


     

    Master Scanlan Stormcrow, the Dirgesinger says, "I had that one made for you."


    Salome takes a deep breath and appears to swallow the air, seeming content for some moments before suddenly belching it back up powerfully. You cannot help but gag as the strong, repugnant and stale stench of rotting flesh wafts through the area.

    The stench of carrion coming from Salome abruptly fades away.


    Brennan Stormcrow cocks his head to one side, looking Dylara over with an appraising stare.

    Brennan Stormcrow exclaims, "Mighty Crow has his eye upon you, Dark Savant!"

    A dark nighthag nods her head at Dylara.

    A dark nighthag nods her head at Dylara.

    A shadowlord widowrider nods his head at Dylara.


    Dylara lays her hands upon the Master Ravenwood Tree. The air around her sparkles and fills with a thrumming buzz.


    You give a silver and sapphire ring to Master Scanlan Stormcrow, the Dirgesinger.


    Scanlan slips into a silver and sapphire ring.


    Scanlan's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.


    The shadow of Dylara suddenly grows longer.

    The curled corpse of a spider falls to the ground from the branches of the Master Ravenwood Tree.


    You say, "That is your I think."


    Tempered until it resembles the deepest black of night, the metal of

    this ring had been carefully polished to a mirror like quality. Inlaid

    within the dark metal are various strands of silver, etching out the

    various designs about the ring and giving it a mysterious and ancient

    look. Forming the semblance of two hands protruding from decorated

    cuffs, the silver threads weave the fingertips towards each other, each

    unto the side of a silver bordered heart which is held tenderly between

    them. Adorning the crest of the heart's curves lies a silver crown,

    inlaid with various gems no larger that the point of a quill, giving a

    very regal and majestic look to the meekness of the heart it rests upon.

    Weaving their way around the rest of the ring from one cuff to the

    other, silver vines wrap about the ring, tiny roses blooming forth

    periodically out of the thorny growth. Just barely visible, directly

    opposite the tenderly grasped heart, lies a single silver spider web

    with a black widow etched into its centre, its tiny, glinting eyes

    glowing with a mysterious light at all times.

    It has 187 months of usefulness left.

    It weighs 2 ounce(s).

    It bears the distinctive mark of Druidess Dylara Stormcrow, the Wyrden Menace.

    It has been stamped with the seal of The Glitterweb Jewelry Cartel.

    It has the following aliases: ring, band.


    Scanlan nods his head sagely.


    A black direwolf tilts back his head in a low, resonant howl.


    The shadow of Dylara suddenly grows longer.


    The curled corpse of a spider falls to the ground from the branches of the Master Ravenwood Tree.


     

    Master Scanlan Stormcrow, the Dirgesinger says, "You got the nice one with all the fancy work on it."

    Salome Shee-Slaugh, Mother of Monsters says to Silvanus, "I've got my eye on you."


    Pressing her hands together before her, Salome bows her head and an emerald glow suffuses the area around her chest.


    Salome nods her head emphatically.

    A massive, ghostly white crow glares around with his one malevolent eye.


    Salome ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."


    CROW - EYEPECK

     

    Syntax: CROW EYEPECK <target>

    CROWSNEST TRACK <eyeball|name of target>

    EYELIST

    Power: 3 (to eyepeck) (Master Ravenwood)

    Carrion: 10 (to track)

     

    While in the form of a crow, you can peck out the eyes of your enemies.

    Because of the physiognomy of krokani, they are immune to such attacks.

    Further, you can use eyeballs to track the movements of the eyeball's

    owner if the eyeball is on the floor of your nest, but be aware that

    doing this consumes carrion at a fast rate on top of the initial carrion

    cost.


    Salome attaches a teardrop sigil to a sapphire vial.


    Salome takes some salve from a vial and rubs it on her head.


    You are dismayed as a shadowcatcher web turns to dust in your hands.


    You say, "Raise staff isn't great in battle, but if you melded there is the tree one."


    Salome nods her head emphatically.


     

    Salome Shee-Slaugh, Mother of Monsters says, "Right."


    You say, "Treelife? oro Treebane?"


    You say, "Some get the name wrong."

    You say, "Treelife."


    The Portal of Fate flashes as Rit steps through, now ready to begin a fresh life in Lusternia.


    You say, "But usually people don't want you to do that."


    Odd sounds echo through the gloomy forest, their source undetermined.


     

    (The Shadow Kindred): Dylara says, "Wobble, wobble."


    Huffing indignantly, a morbidly obese black cat trundles in from the north.

    A dark nighthag nods her head at Scanlan.

    An illithoid scourge spares Scanlan a quick glance.


    Scanlan exhales slowly, allowing a long fluid breath to creep from his lungs.


    Scanlan gets down on one knee and, while holding forth a silver and sapphire ring, declares his eternal love for you, and asks you to marry him. Type AGREE if you will agree to marry him.

  • I am best proposer ever, I have NO idea why it would give you the ring I was wearing and not the one in my inventory.

    -sigh-

    As for quotes, RE: Factions discussions earlier.


    You say, "I don't kiss anyone." Oneiroi leans close to you and gently lays a kiss upon your forehead. You scowl miserably. You say, "Except you." You wink conspiratorially at Oneiroi.

  • You missed Salome smooching you.

    Avurekhos says, "Dylara's a PvP menace in my eyes, totes rekting face."

    The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable.
    Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.

       SAY (speaking in a harsh tone) You will bray for this, Fain.

    Everyone sees:
      Speaking in a harsh tone, Sior says, "You will bray for this, Fain."

    If you are using a prefatory phrase in conjunction with talking TO a person, you must use them in a
    specific order:

       SAY TO FAIN (speaking in a harsh tone) You will bray for this.

    Placing 'to Fain' after the prefatory phrase will not work.


    So according to HELP SAYS, apparently Fain created donkeys and mules. Who knew?

  • DaraiusDaraius Shevat The juror's taco spot
    Fiddling with her teacup, Shifting Current Ino says, "You an' the Lady Sylandra have been busy, I see."

    Shifting Current Ino says, "Lots of Shevats running amuck now."

    Shifting Current Ino says, "You tol' me once you dreamed of the day that you could take over the city with your family alone, an' I dare say that day has come."

    Daraius Shevat inclines his muzzle, regarding Ino with a slightly suspicious glance.

    Daraius asks, "Did I say that?"

    Ino's eyes twinkle enchantingly.

    Shifting Current Ino says, "Some polite variation in tha' subtle way of yours."

    Shifting Current Ino says, "You did."

    Shifting Current Ino says, "I'm merely translating."

    Ino winks knowingly.

    The corners of Ino's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

    Unable to keep his tail from thumping the floor behind him, Daraius says, "I did consider applying for the office of Treasurer, to bring us one step closer."

    Ino laughs out loud.

    Shifting Current Ino looks thoughtful and says to you, "Goodness, is it bad to laugh quite so loudly? I've noticed Irillia - tha' is, the Minister, seems to try and restrain herself from such things, so perhaps I am being ill-behaved at the moment."

    Shifting Current Ino says, "It's been so long tha' I do not remember quite all the rules of proper etiquette any more."

    Daraius wavers one paw noncommittally. "My wife is one of the most egregious offenders I know," he confesses.

    Clearing his throat, Daraius says, "But I must correct the misconception that Sylandra and I have been busy doing anything to increase the number of Shevats running amok."
    I used to make cakes.

    Estarra the Eternal says, "Give Shevat the floor please."
  • DaraiusDaraius Shevat The juror's taco spot
    Well the next line was "unless you count certain matchmaking efforts" but the joke is that Ino implied a violation of my no yiffing policy.

  • LuceLuce Fox Populi
    I mean, I usually work under the assumption that married couples with players who don't engage in those shenanigans just, ah, explore that aspect 'offscreen', so to speak.

    Luce wouldn't because of the physical contact thing (he's getting better), but, like, some of my alts who were married? Yeah, they probably got up to all kinds of hanky and/or panky while the players weren't logged in.

    Sometimes they mail a formal application for adoption to you, complete with descriptions of their qualifications and family suitability and everything. Then we conduct a series of adoption interviews before snatching them up greedi...ahem, I mean, making them an official offer for adoption.

    It's kind of trippy, but also adorable. And it's so very Hallifaxian.

    Edit: Apparently being handed TA isn't comparable to being the spawn of a dog.

    I personally witnessed @Daraius stamping an origami package with one of my platters with his personal seal and the Shevat one, and I got the impression he didn't have any more he felt he could legally use.

    Also, I think I qualify for the Hallifax one by dint of Trade Minister, but I'm not sure who to ask about that...

    I don't think ministers can, but ask your favorite bookbinder. If he's mechanically capable of making the stamp for you, you're legally authorized to use it. Oh, ninja'd.
