hmmm... chicken is a prey animal... if Corwin survives, he's gonna dedicate the feast to the Devourer. (an get hisself a giant wishbone)

I thought the wishbone was only good if it came from a turkey.

Anyway, I've had another busy spell on this end, and tonight's not looking too good. I'm hoping that tomorrow's a bit more open for me, though.

Also, Wraith, did you come up with a name for your cleric yet?

P.S. Hero Machine is a simple way to doodle up your characters! Give it a try.

I love Hero machine, lol.

As for my cleric... do elves have one name or two?

If so one would be Silvea

and two would be Silvea Aringerille

And my sister's name would be Ariean

elves are fun, their delicate bones make for easier carving

Bloody hell, it's been a very long and busy weekend. It almost looks like a whole new house around here, and I found out that I don't really care for Dad's fried crappie all that much.... :?

But I'm back for now. Let's see how much damage I can cause.

not that difficult. you just boil them for a while and the meat falls right off the bones.

Hey!!!

*has mighty offended look and murderous glint*

Yes well, at least we don't taste as bad as Humans!

What? You gonna give her indigestion after she eats you or somthing???

Bah...dagnabbit....

In case you don't know (and you probably don't unless you live in or near East Texas), my little town of Canton, Texas--Population 5,000 and some change--has been the host to First Monday Trade Days since the late 1800's. It's basically a huge bazaar where vendors and shoppers come from as far away as Utah--and possibly farther--to set up tents, shop, sell, eat fair food, clog up local traffic lanes and intersections and generally make a mess of Canton, ending on the first Monday of each month and beginning the Tuesday of the week before.

I presently live in my childhood home with my father, who's pretty spry for being in his 60's yet could still use my help around the place. Our house also has a guest cabin which one of the vendors--the owner of the Silver Smith business and regular renter of a booth in Arbor III down on the First Monday grounds--rents whenever she comes in from Houston. Normally Dad and I spent an equal amount of time attending her needs, helping her load and unload stuff from her trailer, buying food, cleaning the place and all. But this weekend, Dad had to work 24-hour shifts both Friday and Monday as a paramedic--his full-time job--on top of being one of the standing paramedics at First Monday, where 400-pound old ladies and diabetics are always running into various medical emergencies while walking or motorscooting around that tent- and booth-infested ten-square-miles-or-so labyrinth that is the First Monday grounds.

So I was the man of the house all weekend...attending Susan's needs, helping her load and unload stuff from her trailer, buying food, cleaning the place....

At least I finally got around to committing Karnoz and Silvea to paper on my end. For Karnoz, I pieced together three assassin guilds which may interest him, if the Triad isn't quite what he's looking for; for Silvea, I just have to fire off a few background questions to Wraith. After these questions, I'll have enough to kick both of you into action; the rest of the details I can fill in later.

Of course, if you two have representative pictures for your pogs, that would be excellent.

Alas, I have to prepare for Third Shift at Chevron now. And it looks like Corwin's ready for another copy-paste as well, so I'll get on this around 8 AM Central tomorrow...or whenever my lazy relief Melissa finally decides to show up....

So apologies for another delay. How I long for the comparatively carefree days of my halcyon Air Force years and early post-Air Force years....

Also, what happened to the forum colors? It looks all watermelony now.

more like a bloody diaper...(i guess, since it's old blood red, and diaper insides green)

Hey guys sorry for the absence. My comp got sick and died on me. Now I've got a new one and still learning things on it. I upgraded to Vista, so... yeah, gotta get used to all the new shinies.

Ummm... I've got a HD monitor now and wow... this colour scheme does kinda look sickly. Anyway, I'm working on a new one. Let me know in the Common room after I put up a new poll what you think.

And Ainsley, ask away. Also, I will do up a Hero machine for my charrie when I get the chance and hopefully have something for my POG.

Thanks guys.

if ou know portuguese, look up Fabrica De Herois. i think it's much nicer than heromachine

Unfortunately my friend, i have no knowledge of portugese....

all you have to do is play around with it, and you'll figure out what button does what

That's how I got Fabrica De Herois to work: trial and error (and making little notes as to what Portugese words lead to what functions).

Also, Wraith, the forum colors are bearable now. Thank you. I was about to suggest a dark navy blue background with yellow headers (since blue and yellow go well together), but red on black works too.

Anyway, I'll be back on the site tonight to see if I can get the House of Ainsley campaign rolling a bit faster. Cheers.
