NATURE CALL target

You point your athame dagger at Yrael and think really hard about tumbling waterfalls. With a stifled groan, he clenches his fists and looks around for a bush.

DIAG ME
You are:
blind.
deaf.
urgently needing to relieve yourself.
an insomniac.

While so afflicted, every 10 seconds or so you lose equilibrium for two seconds:

The pressure within you grows unbearable and for a few moments you can do nothing but look around for a bush to step behind.

Cure using the choleric purgative, or... removing your armor/clothes/etc., RELIEVE SELF, and putting it back on (can be done without balance loss). If you let it go too long, though (say a minute)... the affliction cures itself, so to speak, embarassingly.

With an embarassed look on his features, Yrael loses his composure and holds still for a few moments as the expression on his face changes to relief and even a little bit of satisfaction.

At this point you need to go find a river and SCRUB, or use a Cleanse spell.

Okay, I'm mostly joking, but a tiny bit serious, too.

...and here was me thinking you were going to do that slightly more reasonable body-disposal one. sleep.gif
Gwylifar2005-02-14 16:03:04
Oh, I should mention that one too.

There's no particular reason why the cities should have a way of disposing of corpses (last rites, eating them, fossiziling them, etc.) but Serenwilde shouldn't. Ours should simply return the body to the soil via a faster form of decomposition, leaving behind a fertile pile of compost from which wildflowers could grow for a month or two until the rain washes it away. If you probe it, you can smell a lingering scent of whose body made it. (Wouldn't that gall a proper citydweller, to be growing pretty wildflowers on a highway somewhere?)
Yrael2005-02-15 06:13:36
I have realised.

I hate you.

Now, thats out of my system.

*nod me*
Gwylifar2005-02-15 15:01:50
Actually, god's honest truth, I just glanced over at my MUD screen and yours was the first name I saw. I had decided to use the first name I saw, not counting my own, and you won the luck of the draw.

Feel free to put Nejii in your place. I think he probably has to go too.
Shiri2005-02-15 15:06:09
...wait, what?
Daganev2005-02-15 15:07:37
He sed ye need to peee
Shiri2005-02-15 15:08:46
Yeah, I figured, I just have no idea why he would say that. Or think it. Or...why that...is even...I think I'll just give up at this point. tongue.gif
Erion2005-02-15 15:23:00
Why not give 'em something like, they grow a tree over it, and the tree has a face in the center, bearing an uncanny resemblance to soandso? ^^
Shiri2005-02-15 15:31:42
I like that idea. happy.gif Kinda like the dude with the potato in The Truth by Terry Pratchett. Mr. Tulip. No, wait, not him, the other one. Mr Psomething I think.

Yrael hates me because his name happened to be the one that I used in the examples of what Nature Call would look like. So I told him he could substitute Nejii and the examples would work just as well.

Furrikin do have bladders, right? Or do you have some fae that takes care of those things for you?
Shiri2005-02-15 17:09:24
I wasn't sure why me in particular, though. sleep.gif And...moving on quickly now. Yes. Shrub w/face.

I hope that you're kidding, one hundred percent, Gwylifar.

hmm...as to the weak bladder skill. I LIKE IT ALOT. for years i've wished, and i'm serious, that IRE would implement urination. I understand how important RP is to alot of people, I will be honest and say not so much to myself, but I do it anyway...but still, that is a major thing missing. You going to tell me, I can RP getting waisted off my a** and be so drunk I'm vomitting..but I will not have to pee...for..what..90 years?

No...we need Pee.

Its that simple
stagar2005-02-15 17:25:49
and as a quick note to what I just said: i'm aware that we try and keep serious public vulgarity out of IRE to a extent, and people dropping their pants and going everywhere would be a problem but really...you can make it descriped in a non-vulgar way that gets the point across:

Stagar abrubtly turns away from everyone and relieves his bladder with a content sigh, before readjusting his clothing and turning around again with a satisifed smile.

Their you go! i've just preformed a major missing component of realistic RP and no one should be overwhelmingly offended by the vulgarity of my err...genitals
Malicia2005-02-15 17:44:18
No. Please God..Admin.. No.

Die Stagar!

They fly on brooms, Malicia.

On brooms.

Flying.

The horse is out of the barn.

Edit: and, have you looked at the affliction messages for dysentery?
Shiri2005-02-16 03:05:40
Gwyl...you're not making any sense again...let go of the yarn ball now...that's it...goood. *wield syringe* *swipe left Gwylifar*
Drago2005-02-16 04:24:14
Erm...

gwylifar/stagar's ideas -> wizard.gif <- Me.

If you want to roleplay bodily functions.. then roleplay bodily functions. I don't play Lusternia to make Drago urinate once every however often.

And if anyone used that nature call (should it be implemented, which I sincerely hope it wouldn't) the avenger should ignore all of their deaths for the next rl day.
Gwylifar2005-02-16 17:04:01
Bah. You're a lot of no-fun people.

And I better not see anyone use dysentery ever again.
