    The unmarked head and abdomen of this whisper spider are covered in soft dark grey fur that 
    gradually darkens as it extends down over the creature's eight long multi-segmented legs. A pair of 
    needle-like fangs descend from the arachnid's mouth, pointed downwards as they twitch reflexively. 
    The black ocelei resting upon the crown of the whisper spider's head are lined up in two slightly-
    curving rows, with six eyes on top and two affixed below. The flexible, soft fur-covered body of the 
    creature is easily flattened to match the contour and shape of whatever terrain it finds itself 
    traversing, moving in total silence and a wariness only exhibited by the most fearsome of predators.
     A whisper spider does not even register your presence as a threat.
    He weighs about 168 pounds.
    A collar of Lupus encircles his neck.
    He is mountable as a legendary steed.
    He is loyal to Yen.
    You see nothing in it.

    That is a beautiful thing.
    I admit I would mistake it for the whisper spiders in Istarion and slay it

    BUT SERIOUSLY, WHAT SHOULD HE DO?

    As tempting as it is to say 'QUIT MHALDOR'. I settled with repeating 'Read HHELP NOVICE" Almost all our novices are relatively competant. I've grown so used to just throwing them to the wolves, and letting them work things out for themselves. No free gear. No step by step instruction on how to learn skills, just read this file, a short lecture on how to treat superiors respectfully, and off you go. Oh and don't speak on CT. :P

    I rather like novices who need step-by-step instruction if they need and benefit from it. It takes my time, but it makes me feel like I'm actually helping them, particularly if they decide to stay. I hate that insecure feeling where I'm not sure if a novice/alt knows what they're doing, really doesn't have any questions, and wants to be left alone, or whether they just don't know how to ask questions and are going to end up quitting because they are confused and bored.

    I don't really like dealing with them, honestly. I find it tedious and repetitive. I have kids, get more than enough of repeatedly telling them what to do without it IG as well. That didn't stop me giving careful instruction, and made sure they understood, going above and beyond in making sure they had gear and tattoos for every novice I inducted in the Merchants, and the very new ones would seek me out, because they knew I answered questions thoughtfully and in full, making sure they understood the answer completely. 

    Maldaathi way seems to be to wait for them to ask for help, and if you deem it a reasonable request, and they have asked in a respectful way, give it. Not jump on them as soon as they join, and offer it.

    (United Union of Crafters): Katia says, "I have never made underwear with inserts!"

    (United Union of Crafters): Boosteya says, "Inserts? Ooer, who snuck THOSE through?"

    (United Union of Crafters): Katia says, "No one! Ever!"

    (United Union of Crafters): Lynara says, "Hahaha."

    (United Union of Crafters): Lynara says, "Suuure."

    (United Union of Crafters): Lynara says, "I've seen them before, snuck through by a few people."

    (United Union of Crafters): Katia says, "Nipple clamps and crystal dildos I will admit to."

    (United Union of Crafters): Boosteya says, "No, serious, I've seen a pair. Can't remember who made
    them. someone I met through Nesha."

    (United Union of Crafters): Jazdrial says, "I have no idea what inserts are."

    (United Union of Crafters): You say, "I don't think I want to know what inserts are."

    (United Union of Crafters): Beya says, "Tavern. Go to one."

    (United Union of Crafters): Delphinus says, "Nor do most people. So stop talking about then."

    (United Union of Crafters): You say, "Wait, are they daggers hidden in underwear?"

    (United Union of Crafters): Delphinus says, "*them."

    (United Union of Crafters): Tesha says, "I hope you all won't take offense to me not listening
    unless I need help."

    (United Union of Crafters): Kunama says, "Hahaha. Hahahahaha."

    (United Union of Crafters): Boosteya says, "Katzchen: no, but that's a good idea!"

    (United Union of Crafters): Jazdrial says, "Useful underwear katzhen....should totally be able to do
    that."

    (United Union of Crafters): You say, "Everything is better with more hidden weapons."

    (United Union of Crafters): Jazdrial says, "Agreed!"

    (United Union of Crafters): Boosteya says, "I move that we lobby for clothing capable of concealing

    weapons, INCLUDING underwear!"

    (more of Delph and Beya grumping before this) Never thought I'd get the chance to annoy Delphinus through a medium that didn't involve forests.

    Also methinks the Lady Katia doth protest too much.

    Off to go design some leather underwear with a hidden dagger sheathe, or ornamental dagger, if I can get away with it.

    My favorite part.  Delph sounds perpetually annoyed by everything.

    @Katzchen I like how my use of the word inserts got carried on. I genuinely lol'd at that conversation.

    Since that's kind of my first impression of what goes on with the UUoC I'm thinking it is some kind of thinly veiled S&M club.

    You could probably say that about half the clans in achaea.

    EVENTS NEWS#24

    For the first time, after all options had been exhausted, the leader of a city replaced the guildmaster of a guild. 

    As opposed to the guildmaster of WHAT exactly?  A breakfast pastry?  Yes, I'm reading old news posts, don't judge me.  Also, I miss Rakon's site already. D:

    It's in the Achaean history page. Dresden replaced the dawnie leader. Whoever that is.

    I make richard jokes and stupid pop culture references in social OOC clans. I have an outlet. The crafter clan's an OOC clan, but not a social one.

    The crafter clan is not your friends, it's mixed company. You don't walk into a store shouting about panties and dildos unless you have a legitimate medical problem; why would you do it in a one-purpose clan?

    I wouldn't talk about things like that directly, and I don't on clans. But some of us shun OOC clans. I find them spammy, and annoying, so very occasionally I like to join in with a little relatively tame banter on something like UUoC or Scarlatti's Commune, or when I was in Hashan CT/HT. Katia was just being blunt, which is fair, considering, and if you need to ask if Boosteya would say those things, I think you need to spend some time around her and find out.

    Don't think I'll ever be able to forget the mental image of that Hashani ball. Everyone is rolling on the floor laughing about how the dragon and (was there an elephant?) got in through the door, scoffing snacks like they're going out of fashion, and snorting at Vhalkier being uncharacteristically over friendly, and dancing with nearly everyone there, male, and female. In the midst of this there is Trey, elegantly custom dancing with Kitarel, and I'd imagine, turning his nose up at the mess, wondering why he came.

    Easier to break immersion when you have higher standards. :P

    For the record that ball was in Hashan but was not Hashani sponsored, it was by the Beloved. Nonetheless, it was indeed horrible, and I will not allow the likes of it ever again.

    Good call. Though it was the Hashani citizens making a mess of it if I recall.

    I'd nearly forgotten that ball, although it makes me happy that stuff like that stands out in at least some people's minds.

    It's just occurred to me that "United Union of Crafters" is redundant. Like having a Noble Order of Nobles.
    I like to think that sewing clothes, working with gems and precious metals, and slaving away in a kitchen all have different aspects. They are different crafting professions that just happen to have their different headquarters all in the same building.

    It's also nice to have a place to ask questions about IG content through OOC means minus the usual crap of OOC clans.

    What used to be a white square of fabric is now grey and mottled, damp
    and thin, as if worn through by repeated use. Whatever monogram once
    graced the corner is now only a few shameful pieces of pick-loose
    thread. There is a special section at Creville Asylum for the few people
    who would dare to put it to their face.
    It has 84 months of usefulness left.
    It weighs 1 ounce(s).
