Noo... begone images of a line winding around avechna beseeching the current gods to do this. There is an issue with the claims that Meridian is crazy if the elders could state whether or not they perceive anything.

I actually think IG some of the more disconcerting truths than the "other" is the fact from the book of Xyl that Reincarnation is a given (in other words your soul has existed before), as well as you're all just a piece of a single Elder God soul.

That doesn't sound disconcerting at all, to me. If anything, it's comforting: even if you die for keeps, you'll come back in some other form. It's even better than Buddhist reincarnation, in fact, since you can guarantee you're coming back as the same race, and not as a bug or tree or a bra.

It's not disconcerting but it is life-changing in some ways. (Wonder how long before we get the first three newbies who five minutes out of the portal claim to be reincarnations of Ellindel. We can put them all in a room and let them fight it out.)

Can't. You already got her, and Maylea had to give up the Eye to keep her safe.

You can safely smack all those newbies upside the head for being silly.

I thought it was a great IG explanation for how the Portal of Fate works. ICly all I see is, if you can trust the words of Meridian, those who pass through the Portal of Fate are in some unspecified way connected to and affected by souls from another existence whose influence tends to lead towards greatness. Nobody could say if they're directly controlling us, or just subtly influencing, or maybe they're not actively doing anything but watching (sports are games and most people who enjoy that just watch it), and that soul resonance thing alone strengthens our souls, or just alters our thread in the Tapestry. =p

I think any OOC interpretation of it is just how you feel like taking it.

I hope it's not that obvious. (Anyway, she's a reincarnation of a fictional character from one of my plays. I already know what hat I'm going to give her, if she (and Maylea) ever come back.)

Since the new Lusternia website needs us to submit fake bardics for testing, I just posted The Other Limerick:

A trill with an aslaran brother,
tae'dae dad, orclach aunt, faeling mother,
said "My family's a mess;
"How it happened I can't guess;
"I suppose I will just blame my Other."

As my High School English Teacher would say:

"That is not a real limerick. It is not dirty enough."

Nevermind. Found the facebook post about it.

I prefer my references to the physical contortions required to achieve interspecies sex between races of vastly different sizes to be a bit more oblique.

Enlarge/Diminish works pretty well to cover most disparities (aside from something like Igasho and Faeling), although you have to assume they used them before and after, unless you really like to RP it out a bit more than most, I suppose.

Where's the emoticon for stabbing your eyes out?

There's this:

There was once a Dingo that sought
To marry the Mayor or rot,
Asked her to get wed,
And to this she said,
"No thank you, I would rather knot."

There once was a Chancellor who knew
Her humor appealed to select few.
Made a dirty joke
Then the Mayor spoke
"Shame, I'll have to reeducate you."

Where the hell were all you Limerick writers when I did my contest back in November?!

Sleeping.

Are we allowed to post dirty limericks here? Cos I just wrote one about an Igasho and a faeling, and it isn't oblique at all

There once was a crystal city
Above the clouds and pretty
With people so fine
Polished to a shine
And everyone so witty

Yeah, I suck at limericks, so sue me

Take your limericks to another topic! Except Casilu. Casilu's are too horrifying for this world.
