I'm really happy with the Spirit Walkers right now. It seems more active both in active players and in discussions on house tells than since @Alcreadia was active. It's great that @Aoghinius is so willing to jump head first into these talks with me as well. Great novices speaking up and asking creative questions. I'm really trying hard to give them an opportunity to create their own theories rather than just teaching them "This is the way it is, deal with it". I don't know who's alt @Nadryne is, but I don't really care, she's helping push the imagination of the other novices and I'm loving it.
just me and my mudclient development. I haven't put in the color function in yet... but so far, I'm happy that I managed to connect/communicate with the server at this moment.

Tecton, the Terraformer has bestowed His divine favour upon you. It will last for approximately 1 Achaean month.
I blame this entirely on your parenting, Cao. This is why we shouldn't let them watch VH1.
@Aodfionn Don't blame me! You never do anything with our child. Now look what our child has become. A Mhaldorian! I blame you and your harsh words. And blame me for letting her watch that?! You are the one who let her. You know what? This relationship is over ! You always call me names. You never bring me chocolate. This is an abusive relationship. I'm moving to Mhaldor to take care of our child! @Ayoxele was a better man than you. We will raise her right without you. And! I have something to confess. I have been cheating on you with him. And I am not sorry for it!
Aodfionn woke up in the middle of the night. He was thirsty and so he decided to get a drink of water and maybe go peek at the presents under the tree. Even though it was almost Logosmas morning, he couldn't wait to see his presents. There was one giant box that looked like a weapon.
Then Aodfionn noticed that Caoimhaen was out of bed too. He must not have been able to wait for his presents either.
Aodfionn thought that he would surprise Caoimhaen. Maybe even sneak up behind him and suck him on his earlobe. That always made Caoimhaen melt.
Aodfionn crept quietly down the stairs and into the living room. There was the tree, with its sparkling lights, and the presents, heaped up randomly, and the mistletoe hanging from the ceiling, and Caoimhaen. Kissing someone.
Aodfionn was so angry, he picked up a monolith sigil and threw it angrily at the tree.
They both looked around.
"Caoimhaen, you treacherous bastard!" Aodfionn yelled. "How could you cheat on me with...with..." Aodfionn looked and then rubbed his face and looked again. It was Ironbeard.
"Let me explain," Caoimhaen said. "I came down for a glass of water and then I found Ironbeard here under the mistletoe."
"Ho! Ho! Ho!" Ironbeard said. "So of course he had to give me a kiss. And what an excellent kiss it was."
"Well, I suppose," Aodfionn said quietly. "If he was under the mistletoe."
"Ho! Ho! Ho!" Ironbeard said. "Why don't you give me a kiss too? Then things will be fair."
That seemed reasonable. Aodfionn went over under the mistletoe and kissed Ironbeard.
Ironbeard was the best kisser ever, like a rainbow that casts a happy glow o'er all the land. He made Aodfionn's toes feel all tingley.
"You see?" Caoimhaen said huskily and Aodfionn saw. So they had a threeway.
The compression of what ought to be the climactic (hurr hurr) part of the story into a single sentence is really the best part of that, imo. It's like if The Lord of the Rings consisted of the beginning of Fellowship up to, say, Rivendell, followed by, "So Frodo took the ring to Mordor and destroyed it and Aragorn was crowned King of Gondor."
You see, we -were- keeping the Light nice and clean by raiding so much. Now that we're on Mhaldor, just -look- at what happens to Targossas. Gosh. Ashtan, World-Police needs to make more rounds.
@Caoimhaen paced up and down, jiggling the gold sovereigns in his pocket. His very good friend, @Orzaansyn, had arranged to meet him here, north of New Thera.
"I have something important to tell you," she had said.
Orzaansyn was late, which was very unlike her. Any moment now, Caoimhaen expected to see her bounce up, her braided hair streaming behind her and her obsidian eyes aglow.
Caoimhaen heard footsteps, but they seemed rather heavy for a delicate and fey girl like Orzaansyn, whose tread was as light as a feather. He turned around and found @Aodfionn staring down at him.
"What are you doing here?" Aodfionn said hoarsely. "I thought you said you didn't want to see me again."
"And you're with @Ayoxele now." he added as an afterthought.
Caoimhaen had said that, but now he was beginning to wish he hadn't acted so rashly. "Orzaansyn asked to meet me here." As he gazed at Aodfionn, his head began to throb painfully. <keeping it PG!>
"Oh," Aodfionn said, quietly. "I'll just go then."
"Wait," Caoimhaen said and caught Aodfionn by his hand. "I was wrong. I still love you. Can you ever forgive me?"
Aodfionn stared down at him for what seemed like eternity.
"What about Ayoxele?" he eventually asked.
"That's over. I mean that never was, I lied, I wanted to hurt you like you hurt me." Caoimhaen looked at the ground, rubbing his arm. "There's no one bigger, I mean better than you. Please? I'm sorry." <PG gone!>
"I understand, I forgive you," Aodfionn said finally, smiling. They wrapped their arms around each other and kissed, as sparkles and rainbows exploded in glorious joy.
From behind a rock, Orzaansyn watched with an exultant light in her obsidian eyes. She took a list out of her pocket, and checked off "Caoimhaen/Aodfionn". Then, she skipped off to help an embittered man find love again. @Carmain just needed the right woman, she was sure of it.
Hey! This one's relevant and everything!
Edit: I should probably stop derailing the ever living crap out of this thread.
Today I umm, got frowned at, a lot, by Halos and discovered Chaos lore, which was a lot more interesting than I expected it to be.

You bastard.
I Saw Caoimhaen Kissing Ironbeard

Everybody's presents were late.
