    Wisdom comes by disillusionment?

    America is a young country with an old mentality?

    A child educated only at school is an uneducated child?

    Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

    The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."

    Maria Maria, you remind me of a West Side Story?

  • If this event is going in the direction I think it is, I think it would be quite appropriate to smack Odethi upside the head until some sense can be slapped into her.

    Pretty sure @Kiradawea doesn't even come up to Daraius's knees. The image of their psychodrama battles amuses me.
    I like to imagine Psychodrama as being something akin to Duelmasters or Yu-Gi-Oh. Except without the overdone grunts of physical pain. :D
    Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

    Pretty much what I already said on the city newsboard. Of course in this case there seems to have been an epic cover-up operation initiated by old Celest.

    It's a phrase that's true in several ways right about now.

    Yeah but that bit? That bit's fun, because either you know when your moment to shine comes in or you get to be the one that stands over the idiot and goes "I told you so."

    To quote Narcotics Anonymous "Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results."

    There's no evidence to suggest he actually ever said it, while it's been attributed to him it's not actually one of the lines he's recorded as ever saying. It's been attributed to a few people but with no hard evidence to support any of them.

    It's earliest known source is the Narcotics Anonymous basic text from the early 1980's.

    I still have absolutely no idea what's going on with this event...Mysrai's Order has some neat vision stuff going on (when don't we!), but I'm not sure if it's to be taken as playing a part...or if it's standalone? Hearing people talk about all of this more recent stuff just sort of has me scratching my head, wondering why I know diddly squat aside from what I've grabbed on the forums  :-??

    Every plot that enters my mind casts Hallifax in an unsavory light, or otherwise ends very poorly for Hallifax.  :|

  • To me, this just keeps reiterating an idea I've had for a while- the folks of Old Celest only had a very vague idea of what the phrase "This seems like it might be a bad idea" meant.

    I gotta say "We do not believe there is a real problem with flammed granny panties" is certainly one of the most entertaining Furies comments I've seen.

    Least they aren't flooding your Divine's fulcrux with shoes...

    Or are they...


    Either way, I blame Mysrai for this. I'm sure they are responsible for this in some fashion or other....

    Don't forget that these days enchanters can disenchant flame sigils - though that DOES require an enchanter to actually be awake (plus have the required aetheric power to disenchant however many items were left)
    Never put passion before principle.  Even if you win, you lose.

    If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?

    If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

    We cannot disenchant flame sigils on objects dropped in rooms - unless I was getting the syntax wrong, and I tried a few permutations. I was trying to clean up the Air plane.

    Syntax: DISENCHANT FLAME ON <object>
    Power: 3 (any)
    You can also disenchant flame sigils that have been directly attached to
    another object.

    Yes, it absolutely works (and it's why it was made a thing.) Just tested it.

    attach flame to flower
    You attach a flame-shaped sigil to a cool tulip of dusk.

    drop flower confirm
    You drop a cool tulip of dusk.

    get flower
    You quickly pull your hand back as a flame sigil on a cool tulip of dusk singes your fingers.

    disenchant flame on flower
    You pass your hands over a cool tulip of dusk, drawing out the power of the flame sigil as a burning, all-encompassing heat. The sigil quickly goes up in a puff of smoke.

    You may disenchant another sigil.

    get flower

    You have recovered equilibrium.

    You pick up a cool tulip of dusk.

    Oh cool, I was just doing the syntax wrong. I was looking at Fist to try and find it. Thanks :D
  • Hey, hey. I only did it in Celest, I'm not to blame for Hallifax and Serenwilde.
