Again, just silly fun in Hallifax!

Before the Matrix.
Banks of clouds roil about here. There is a moderate breeze here. Long, lean,
and vibrating with barely-contained energy, a greyhound sniffs about here. A
statue of Fraesic Sunfar, Keeper of the Matrix stands here, memorializing his
noble spirit. Radiating with an incandescent brilliance, the Matrix floats
within the circular walkway, slowly turning and revealing flowering geometric
patterns. Wind whipping through his wings, Fraesic Sunfar, Keeper of the Matrix
is here, face upturned to the chill breeze. The graceful, translucent form of a
bird of paradise dances in the air, the insubstantial image shifting through a
constant stream of vivid colours. There are 10 Sentinel Deputy Commissars here.
In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. There are 10 Guardians
of the Dodecahedron here. A brown, elegant pony with a twitching tail stands
here quietly. Surrounded by forks of crimson lightning, a fiery scarlet
thunderbird spreads her white-feathered wings here, ruby eyes blazing with a
formidable intellect. Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper is here, shrouded. He wields
a delicate crystal staff in his left hand and a tower shield of the Matrix in
his right. Zyphora is here, flailing about helplessly. She wields a delicate
crystal staff in her left hand. Provost Tulemrah Shevat, Tender of Breezes is
here, wreathed in a flickering mandala of silvery light. She wields a golden
sunburst shield in her right hand. Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of
Systems is here, surrounded by clouds. She wields a roiling staff of cold fog in
her left hand and a pair of diamond shears in her right.
You see exits leading northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest.

You say to Phoebus, "You should start up Incabulos' rhyming thing again."

Phoebus gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says to you, "If I recall
correctly, you were absolutely awful at the rhyming."

Onenmaru tilts his head curiously at Phoebus.

You exclaim to Phoebus, "I was better than you!"

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems gasps, "Not true!"

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Yours were the worst. It was a little depressing."

You see the following people here:
Zyphora, Onenmaru, Saleo, Phoebus, Tulemrah, Ushaara

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Don't worry though, I
still like you."

Phoebus pats you in a friendly manner.

You exclaim to Phoebus, "Fine, start us off and I'll beat you now!"

You frown and shake your fist angrily.

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

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says, "Contest!"

Zyphora claps her hands together merrily.

(clan): Phoebus says, "Is this like a really lame rap battle?"
(clan): Zyphora says, "Do it, do it :D."
(clan): Phoebus says, "Ok ok hold on."

Provost Tulemrah Shevat, Tender of Breezes says, "Oh dear."

The corners of Onenmaru's mouth turn up as he grins mischievously.

You laughingly say to Zyphora, "You have to take part if we do!"

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says to you, "No, those weren't the terms!"

Zyphora peers at you unscrupulously.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Once this starts there's
no going back. You all must rhyme, I won't tolerate slack!"

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "No clenching, below the belt or pocket
sand."

You say to Zyphora, "Zyphora seeks to stir the pot, but doesn't join because the
competition's too hot!"

Onenmaru blinks.
Zyphora laughs out loud.
Phoebus cackles hellishly.

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "Oh, that's fistfighting."

(clan): Zyphora says, "Oh god, you guys are too much."
(clan): Eria says, "Eh?"
(clan): You say, "It's your turn!"
(clan): Tulemrah says, "I hear they were ten times worse in their
younger days."
(clan): Eria says, "What did I miss?"
(clan): Tulemrah says, "We're having a rap-off!"
(clan): You say, "Hallifaxian rap battle."
(clan): Zyphora says, "It's too late for rhyming xD."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Goodness but you all are
quiet. Back in my day this was always a riot."

You roll your eyes towards Phoebus and smack your forehead with your palm.

Phoebus snickers at you.

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "You think your fancy vowels make you so
slick, but your rhymes are weak, you're making me sick."

Phoebus laughs out loud.
Zyphora cheers wildly!
Onenmaru hums a happy tune.

Provost Tulemrah Shevat, Tender of Breezes says, "I'm afraid my verse would be
quite uninspiring, just thinking of it leave me perspiring."

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says, "I'll have you know I rhyme just fine. In
fact, I would blow your Collective minds."

(clan): Helaman says, "Cue epic rap battle of history."

Zyphora peers about herself unscrupulously.

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says, "That was not me."

You look at Zyphora and shake your head sadly, before letting it hang low in
shame.

Zyphora murmurs softly to herself.

The Portal of Fate flashes as Galiel steps through, now ready to begin a fresh
life in Lusternia.
(University): Please welcome Galiel who has just enrolled into the University of
Cosmic Understanding to learn the ways of the Aeromancers!
(Hallifax): Please welcome Galiel who just stepped out of the Portal of Fate as
a new citizen!

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "That was more of a half
rhyme, dear. A good beginning but not quite it, I fear."

(University): Tulemrah says, "Welcome to the Aeromancers, Galiel."
(University): Phoebus says, "Welcome to the Aeromancers, Galiel."
(University): Tulemrah says, "You should read CGHELP AEROMANCERS to get started
with your studies. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, using CGT
."
(University): Galiel says, "Thank you."

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says, "Slant rhymes are acceptable, didn't you
know? Real wordsmiths know how to make the beat flow."

You say to Zyphora, "Your sense of rhyme is criminal, its badness not even
subliminal."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says to Tulemrah, "There is no
reason to fear this game. We all sound silly, so there is no shame."

Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper says, "I'll save my rhymes and leave you bored, if
I let them loose you'd all be floored."

Tulemrah claps her hands together merrily.

Galiel arrives from the north.

Phoebus nods her head at herself.

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "Dance, rhyme, sing in time, why try? Your
efforts are so weak, I think I might cry."

Phoebus doffs a breathtaking circlet of ice flowers to Galiel.
With a flourish of his arm, Galiel bows deeply.
Saleo doffs a peaked hat of the Aeromantic Force Command to Galiel.
Tulemrah inclines her head politely to Galiel.
Onenmaru doffs an ominous beryl crown to Galiel.

(clan): Tulemrah says, "Oh no, we're going to scare of this newbie."
(clan): Zyphora says, "Oh god D:."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says to Galiel, "Welcome to
Hallifax, Neophyte. Please don't mind our rhyming fight."

Tulemrah chews on her lip, deep in thought.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "If you have any questions
do let us know, we are here to help you learn and grow."

Air Neophyte Galiel says, "Oh this will be entertaining if you are rhyming."

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "Welcome to our city most fair, held aloft
on a pillar of air."

Onenmaru hums innocently to himself.

Galiel looks about himself, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

(clan): Zyphora says, "Oh god too late for rhyming D:."
(clan): Zyphora says, "Brain dead."

Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper says, "We'll teach the new one all our tricks, and
how us old ones get our kicks."

Air Neophyte Galiel says, "I wanted to chose psionics, however the fates said I
needed to enhance my mind with an archway."

You say to Galiel, "Feel free to join in, a prize you might win!"

Onenmaru beckons to Galiel.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "I could take you there,
it's just up on Air."

Onenmaru places his hands on the Matrix and disappears in a fountain of
pulsating energy.
Galiel leaves, following Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat.
Onenmaru has left the area.

Galiel arrives, following Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat.
Onenmaru has entered the area.
The Matrix suddenly flares with pulsating energy as Onenmaru steps through.

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "Hmhm."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "I guess Onenmaru's got
this one, without windwalking that'll sure be fun."

Folding her wings so she can reach them easily, Phoebus preens her wings happily,
straightening out the disheveled feathers.

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says to you, "Criminal counts as a compliment, man,
turn up the heat because I'm bringing a fan!"

(clan): Zyphora says, ">_>."
(clan): Zyphora says, "I hate myself."

Phoebus laughs out loud.

Your eyes sparkle with amusement.

Provost Tulemrah Shevat, Tender of Breezes says, "Yes, I really think I must
abstain, I cannot think of a single refrain."

You exclaim to Zyphora, "Finish your play, no more delay!"

You nod your head sagely.

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says to Galiel, "Welcome to learn from Fraesic here, he
may be tall but there's nothing to fear."

Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper says to Galiel, "Learn a bit first and you'll be
fine, it's okay to take your time."

Galiel looks about himself, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
Phoebus nods her head affirmatively at Galiel.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says to Tulemrah, "You would be
the odd man out? Worse than bad rhymes, without a doubt!"

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "This is getting out of hand, listening to
this is like chewing on sand."

Phoebus says, "Pssshhhh..."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "What, you mean you aren't
having fun? Aren't you just the lamest one."

You say to Onenmaru, "With rhymes so bland, you should be banned."

Onenmaru utters a deep, rumbling laugh.

Provost Tulemrah Shevat, Tender of Breezes says, "A creative mind, I have not.
The simplest of rhymes I turn to rot."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "But look at that, you
aren't doing so bad. If you let your shame go there is fun to be had!"

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "Short and simple, straight to the point,
your rhyme's like a pimple on the inside of a joint."

"Ewwwwwwwww!" says Phoebus in disgust.
Onenmaru snickers softly to himself.

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says, "This rhyming thing you all should stop, quit you
day jobs you should not."

You utter a deep, rumbling laugh at Eria.
You give up a round of applause.

(clan): Tulemrah says, "Z should promote me for this, spontaneous art.
So far outside my comfort zone."
(clan): You say, "This is reminding me of oldschool Hallifax, heh."

Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper says, "This rhyming is a game for thinkers! Let's
show the world we're not no-fun stinkers."

<< HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!! >>

A gentle feminine voice laces through the aether, "Two negatives make for a
positive, I fear. You've much to learn about grammar, dear."

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "Double negatives and synonyms galore,
don't make me smack your words to the floor."

The corners of your mouth turn up as you grin mischievously.
Zyphora giggles happily.
Tulemrah's eyes sparkle with amusement.
Onenmaru hums a happy tune.

(clan): Zyphora says, "Hosnap."

You say, "Now competing with a Divine? We tread a fine line!"

Eria's eyes sparkle with amusement.

A gentle feminine voice laces through the aether, "The Divine get bored, even as
mortals do. So amuse Me, dear ones, and I shall seek to amuse You."

"Oooooooooh!" Galiel says, eyes wide with wonder.
Eria ponders the situation.
You grin mischievously at Galiel.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "I'm afraid Your presence
may have struck them with fear, stuck thinking up rhymes they'd want You to hear.
"

Surreptitiously, Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper whispers, "Allow Her to win by a
negligible gap, else you may feel the sting of Her zap."

Lamenting, Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper says, "I was shot down by the Lady, does
this mean my rhymes are shady?"

You say to Galiel, "Try your rhymes and be assimilated, here in Hallifax all
effort is appreciated."

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "I'm scared to say what comes to mind,
else I could find myself in an electrifying bind."

The corners of Zyphora's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.
Phoebus's eyes sparkle with amusement at you.

Provost Tulemrah Shevat, Tender of Breezes says, "The Lady Aesthete, oh no, I
fret!"

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "I think the Lady would
much prefer that you not be afraid and continue despite Her."

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says to Saleo, "Your rhymes are weak, indeed its true.
Do not fret, we can help you!"

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "It is not the Lady whose
zaps are thrown because your rhymes have made Her groan."

A gentle feminine voice laces through the aether, "I find Myself amused that I
strike you with terror, when in truth, I fear My own rhyming might error."

The corners of your mouth turn up as you grin mischievously.

(clan): Phoebus says, "And it don't stop."

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

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says, "Truth be told, Lady Isune. Your rhyming skill
might make me swoon."

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "Galiel, I do hope you're spending lessons
in piles, else you're walking a trail of yards with the effort of miles."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Nothing is perfect on
your first try, but that's half the fun of rhymes on the fly."

Zyphora gives Onenmaru a thumbs up.

You say, "A test of wit this rhyming queries, though far more amusing than
forming theories."

Onenmaru nods his head sagely.

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says to you, "Leave the theories to scientists, we
Sentinels solve problems with our fists."

Phoebus gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

A gentle feminine voice laces through the aether, "Flattery will get you
everywhere, Commissar, and with Gods, that is incredibly far."

(clan): Phoebus says, "What rhymes with Oberst."
(clan): You say, "Orange."
(clan): Phoebus says, "Gasp."
(clan): Phoebus says, "I thought it'd be purple."

Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper says, "Theories are fine unless fun is the goal,
then a contest of wits is much more droll."

Provost Tulemrah Shevat, Tender of Breezes says, "A test of skill I was sure I
would fail, but with a bit of luck, I just may prevail."

A gentle feminine voice laces through the aether, "That is the spirit, Provost,
well done. It is quite a droll thing to shirk from fun."

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "Theories are fun if you understand the
game, otherwise you'll simply think that they're lame."

Looking downtrodden, Onenmaru sadly shakes his head.

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat looks skeptical and says, "Walking on wind is
just as fun, as being chased by Ketheru at a dead run."

You ask Zyphora, "Your talents are recognised to be numerous, but does your
silence mean you do not find this humorous?"

(clan): Zyphora says, "Ushaara! I'll kill you!"
(clan): Phoebus (from the Air Elemental Plane) says, "What'd I miss???"
(clan): Zyphora says, "He's challenging me again D:."
(clan): You say, "Psh, no sitting enjoying it if you don't take part!"

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says to Saleo, "I find it hard to believe that you've
dared. For this test of wits, you have come unprepared."

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "This is no challenge for the brave or the
silly, you can't just string sentences together all willy nilly!"

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says to Onenmaru, "You tried you best, and that I
applaud. But it seems to me, your only a fraud."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Sure you can, there's no
problem at all with taking your chances only to fall."

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says to you, "I'm afraid you overestimate the
number of my skills! Rapping's not one of my talents, if you insist this secret
I spill."

A gentle feminine voice laces through the aether, "Quit bullying Zyphora, Oberst,
it is quite unkind. You know by now she's not interested in rhyme."

The corners of Zyphora's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.
Phoebus hides a grin behind her hand.
Your eyes sparkle with amusement.

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says to you, "You heard the Lady, rhyming at me is
not gravy."

Zyphora sways back and forth.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "What matters is that you
try in the first, whether or not your rhyme is the worst."

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says, "The Oberst tries valiantly, this is true. But we
all know Lady Isune, he can't compare to you."

Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper says, "I save my rhyme skills for my Lord, so all
of my best ones are safely stored."

You say, "I simply seek to push her to a lofty height, a Master Artist she is in
her own right."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Apathy is a more
dangerous thing than a tone-deaf bird who still tries to sing."

Tulemrah gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

(Hallifax): Doman says, "How is everybody?"

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says, "Oberst Ushaara extols virtues I cannot
possibly hold, though I must laud him for his mind and heart of purest gold."

You utter a deep, rumbling laugh.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Don't let yourself fall
prey to the spell of silence forever because you won't do well."

You laughingly say, "You speak so sweet, you've rendered me meek."

Phoebus peers at Zyphora unscrupulously.

A gentle feminine voice laces through the aether, "Do you Builders rhyme shapes
as you would with sound, seeking rhymes on which solid foundations are found?"

Zyphora grins mischievously at Phoebus.

(clan): Phoebus says, "Oh it's on."

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says to Phoebus, "No cause for alarm, I mean no
harm."

(Hallifax): Onenmaru says, "Tied up in a battle, with words, and rhyme, join us
at the Matrix for a clever good time."

(Hallifax): Doman says, "I may come to spectate but I'm unable to participate."

Doman arrives from the up.

Onenmaru doffs an ominous beryl crown cordially.
Doman's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.

You say, "A threat to our Arbiters lies in shape of a panda, but this rhyming
lark could be effective propaganda."

(Hallifax): Eria says, "Rhyming is simple, it's easy to do. Anyone can do it,
yes even you."

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "A challenge issued by a commissar so
daring, I'd crush her heart if I wasn't so caring."

(Hallifax): Doman says, "Current circumstances dictate otherwise."

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

A gentle feminine voice laces through the aether, "Larks can sing, and
Symphonists too; speaking of, Doman, let's have a rhyme from you."

(Hallifax): Eria says, "Gives us your best line, anythings great. Please take
your time, don't worry, we'll wait."

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says to you, "A panda is threatening your faithful
team? I think it's time for an anti-bamboo theme."

Onenmaru utters a deep, rumbling laugh.

Saleo smiles softly.

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says to Doman, "Yes, sir, rhyme with the rest! Who
can say if you're not the best?"

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "The trouble with that is
that bamboo is great. It's rigid yet flexible and can keep things straight."

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says to Doman, "It's seems you've been called out by
Lady Isune. Should try your best, or look like a buffoon."

Doman Trueflight, Symphonic Visionary says, "Rhyming is tough, not easy to do, I
think that my preference is just for haiku."

Eria's eyes sparkle with amusement.
Tulemrah claps her hands together merrily.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "We're just having fun,
it's not truly a fight. Just some bored Hallifaxians passing a night."

Doman smiles softly.

Tulemrah nods her head sagely at Phoebus.

You say to Zyphora, "A panda is a cute foe to face, but one of our Arbiters I'd
be sad to replace."

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says to Doman, "Well done comrade, you've passed the
test. You have proven to be as bad as the rest."

Onenmaru utters a deep, rumbling laugh.
Eria's eyes sparkle with amusement at Doman.
Zyphora grins mischievously at Eria.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "You say that now Oberst
but that might be a lie. You -did- say the panda was cuter than I!"

Phoebus turns her back on you and pointedly ignores you.

Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper says, "My rhyming is done, there'll be no more from
me. I contribute too little to this grand jubilee."

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "Pandas are cute, this I can't deny, but
keep it to yourself, or by her hand you might die!"

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Adding a little is better
than none. There is no need for your each rhyme to stun."

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "Give it your all, outshine the rest,
there's no reason to be less than the best."

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

You say to Saleo, "And yet your rhymes do inspire mine own, pray acknowledge the
music that you have sown."

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says to Saleo, "The Archmage speaks truth, I will give
her that. But her rhymes are a bit weak, they seem to fall flat."

A gentle feminine voice laces through the aether, "So tell Me, Phoebus, when
this game is done...is there a way to discover who has won?"

Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper says, "But I'm writing a poem, a complex rhyming
ode. No one'll want to hear it with the doubts that I've sowed."

Your eyes sparkle with amusement.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "The answer to Your
question is a simple one to give; as we've all worked together, the victor is
the Collective."

Tulemrah claps her hands together merrily.

A gentle feminine voice laces through the aether, "Well played, My dear, you
said it best. Among a Collective, there is no contest."

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

Phoebus nods her head sagely.

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

Saleo smiles softly.

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says, "I had lots of fun, and I'm sorry if I did offend.
It seems that my rhymes must come to an end."

Doman Trueflight, Symphonic Visionary says, "Love this city."

Phoebus chuckles long and heartily.
The corners of Onenmaru's mouth turn up as he grins mischievously.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "It's been a while since
we've done this, hasn't it."

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says, "It was a wonderful time."

Zyphora lazily draws her wings to and fro through the air, fanning them slowly.

You say to Saleo, "An ode for our stage shall be hailed by the masses, so amused
the elite they'll lay aside their glasses."

Tulemrah sways back and forth.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems laughingly says to you, "Thank
you for prodding me into it."

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says to Phoebus, "He made me do it too."

Temporal Primus Onenmaru Shevat says, "A bow and a doff mark the end of our game,
I'll be hiding in my office in shame."

Onenmaru hums innocently to himself.

The corners of your mouth turn up as you grin mischievously.

Onenmaru doffs an ominous beryl crown cordially.
Onenmaru leaves to the southwest.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "It's sad Incabulos went
crazy and went all...Gaudiguchy. He was always the best at the rhyming thing."

Provost Tulemrah Shevat, Tender of Breezes says, "That was quite a mental
exercise."

You laughingly say, "And aren't you all happy I poked you into it!"

Commissar Eria De'Unnero says, "Nonsense I say, we've already established.
The winner this day, is all of the masses."

Phoebus nods her head affirmatively at you.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Thank you Oberst."

Doman Trueflight, Symphonic Visionary says, "Collective conventions can come
curiously, but rarely commonly."

Phoebus's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Doman winks knowingly.

Ambassador Saleo Windwhisper smiles and says, "That was quite fun, yes!"

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says to you, "Yet another thing
for all the ladies to admire you for."

You utter a deep, rumbling laugh.

That was epic. (Kinda makes me wish I didn't leave Halli at times!)

My favourites were Eria's "Don't quit your day jobs!" and Saleo's "Oh noes, my rhymes are shady!"

You left out the most important part!

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems sadly says, "I liked the Oberst before liking the Oberst was cool."

Phoebus nods her head at herself.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Look, I can say that right here in front of him and he'll act like it never happened tomorrow."

Phoebus peers at Ushaara unscrupulously.

Oberst Ushaara Gordian says to Phoebus, "You refused the Oberst years and years ago!"

Ushaara nods his head sagely.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "I, I."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Look!"

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "That was way too long ago."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "That doesn't count."

Zyphora peers about herself unscrupulously.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems exclaims, "I take it back!"

You hide a grin behind your hand.

Phoebus looks at Ushaara hopefully.

Onenmaru chirps happily.

Phoebus takes an elegant pink rose from a clay flowerpot.

Phoebus gives an elegant pink rose to Oberst Ushaara Gordian.

Ushaara slips into an elegant pink rose.

Ushaara writes a word across a Magical Map of Mystery with a flourish, and lines blossom across the blank page, forming a map before his questing eyes.

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says to Ushaara, "No, don't go quiet and start playing with your fancy maps."

Archmage Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Come on, you're acknowledging me."

*awkward silence*

Oberst Ushaara Gordian says to Phoebus, "You should start up Incabulos' rhyming thing again."

Ushaara uses distract! It's super effective!

On that note, I enjoyed this part.

Aeromage Zyphora Windwhisper says, "Oberst Ushaara extols virtues I cannot
possibly hold, though I must laud him for his mind and heart of purest gold."

You utter a deep, rumbling laugh.

You laughingly say, "You speak so sweet, you've rendered me meek."

Phoebus peers at Zyphora unscrupulously.

Zyphora grins mischievously at Phoebus.

(clan): Phoebus says, "Oh it's on."

0:)

Man, one day Phoebus is going to go on a murderous rampage through Hallifax, and no one will wonder why.

Hallifax hath faced no fury like a Phoebus scorned? :D

Ushaara:

Hallifax hath faced no fury like a Phoebus scorned? :D

So it's Ushaara's solemn duty to avert this impending disaster, right? ;)

I'm afraid that as Zyphora could tell you, Ushaara can't resist a good tragic ending!

Ushaara:

I'm afraid that as Zyphora could tell you, Ushaara can't resist a good tragic ending!

jerk

Ushaara:

I'm afraid that as Zyphora could tell you, Ushaara can't resist a good tragic ending!

This sounds more like a comedy than a tragedy.

I heard (via Facebook) that I just missed this.

I didn't realize it had gone on for so long.
