Topic: yet another movie thread...
Subject: blockbusters...
Saw both Pirates and Shrek this weekend.
Green guy was a lot of fun, pretty much what you'd expect.
Pirates.
Enjoyed the heck out of the film, which, I suppose, is the point of movies. Great effects, storyline kept going and going. Answered a lot of questions, but threw in some extra stuff that just wasn't needed.
Did anyone else see the purpose in the Calypso angle? They spent so much time on it, only to have what felt like (to me) no real resolution at all. Why even bring it in? I didn't think it changed anything one iota.
I do have to give it to them, nice twist at the end. I wasn't expecting it, and I can usually see these things way before they happen.
The first is still my favorite - the novelty was great - but I have enjoyed all three. If they decide to do number four (which the left the door open for), I'll be there on opening weekend again, once more wearing my pirate bandana.
Yep - I wore a pirate bandana, as did my daughter. My son wore a pirate hat and a hook on his hand. Only Donna was too cool to dress up at least a bit.

Have not seen the lakehouse... have no real interest to do so, but I will admit, the Notebook was a great movie.

We're gonna see Shrek Monday, ourselves.
I will admit, I actually enjoyed Cars quite a bit after refusing for the longest time to watch it.

Subject: yet another movie thread...
Geez, the common room is dead! Here's a subject, talk amongst yourselves...
I saw Spider Man 3 a couple of weeks ago. My take: superb movie. I have since read quite a few complaints (movie has too many subplots, Mary Jane isn't involved enough, Peter dancing and playing piano is stupid, etc), and I have to wonder... were they watching the same movie I was? This *is* a summer comic book movie, after all. IMHO, the franchise has improved with each film.
Going to see the new Pirates this weekend. Major big expectations here...

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off
Subject: dawning for the knight
Arien awakens to a piercing headache and a severe case of cottonmouth - and with no memory of partaking excessively of strong spirits, he is temporarily confused. The next few moments are even more confusing, as strange images (memories?) push their way into his consciousness. A terribly malevolent - defintiely feminine - presence. Gossamer? What is a Gossamer?
Alloryn! She is here, and in danger! Gossamer - the Green Goddess - is here, as well... is inside of Alloryen. Gossamer had forced herself into Arien, but his twin had somehow pulled the entity within herself... to save me, the knight marvelled.
Something had to be done, and now. This evil spirit, whatever it was, certainly had to be tied to the presence of the Imperials... Arien was not so foolish as to think that Ally had simply happened to be possessed while under the tender care of the Imperials. Why they would want to do this was beyond his understanding or concern. All that mattered was helping his twin.
The knight sat up, dislodging an indignant Sunset, and thus earning himself an intense craving for spicy sausages. He had no time for this, though, and quickly regained his feet, angrily reaching for his blade... which was not there. Jarred, Arien began to pay attention to his surroundings, and heard what sounded very like the sounds of mortal combat from nearby. His friends! They would need him.
First, the immediate danger, next, to assist Alloryen.
Arien will look for his sword (which is hopefully nearby) as he moves to the next room. Standard tactics apply - help anyone who obviously needs it; if none, then find the biggest, ugliest bad guy and repeatedly insert five handspans of flaming steel into its carcass until it stops moving.

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off
Subject: ewhhhaaaa?
Arien stared at Adrian for a moment as if the mage had grown a second, evil head. The knight himself had quite the reputation as a fervent acolyte of the complex strategem known as the frontal assault, but to ignore - and worse, insult - the obvious value of enhancing the abilities of one's scouts was almost suicidally foolhardy.
"Adrian," the knight began, hoping to keep his voice level, "masking our scouts by use of magic is neither foolhardly nor cowardly. If I waltz up to an enemy castle's wall and demand to be admitted, can I blame them for dousing me in burning pitch?"
The absurdity of this argument is not lost on the heir of House Thedell. "If a diversion is needed, it is good that you can create one, there is no doubt of that - such skills will doubtless prove useful in the coming encounter. By why lauch a diversion of any sort right now, and thus alert our enemies to our presence, when we can simply spy out their positions, hopefully undetected?"
Ye gods! the knight groans inwardly. Am I the voice of caution? Alloryen would never let me live this down!

Subject: the goal?
Another day of mostly silent riding had passed. The night before had been awkward, to say the least - Jal has shared what was obviously a very personal tale of his past, and had explained once and for all why he was always babbling on about winter, and where much of his "Second sight" came from. Arien felt bad for the mage, and felt bad for snapping out at his companions, as well. The words had needed to be spoken, but he probably could have been more diplomatic about it.
While others might have been concerned a bit about Jal's tale, if anything, it made Arien feel more at ease with the man. After the things he had personally seen, the knight had no real problem accepting that some could speak with the dead. If that was how Jal fit with the world, so be it.
Far more troubling to Arien ws the need to remove his armor during the journey. Alloryen had joked that he would sleep in it if he could, and the knight knew she was probably right. Without it, he felt naked and exposed, but such was the necessity of their trip.
Once they had reached the end of the journey, Char volunteered himself and Dapple to scout the area. Arien nodded in agreement. "Should one of the mages put an enchantment on you?" he asked. "I would think that making you harder to see or hear would be beneficial."

I am thinking of continuing on with the game. We haven't done much, but there is a lot of potential.
Ginafae, a super player, has expressed interest in joining. I know that Ayrn has dropped. Eol has mentioned that he will play, thought htat could just be out of pity.
Who is still in?

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off
Subject: didn't mean to brood
For a full day now, Arien has been uncharacteristically quiet. It is as if over the course of one night, the grand avdenture has evaporated for him.
In truth, the dream from the night before is troubling him greatly. He has missed Alloryn greatly, almost the same way that a man misses a severed limb. Outwardly, Arien is dashing, bold, carefree - the knight in shining armor is his identity. But the loss of Ally has removed his confidante, the person he tells his worries and fears to.
And now, this drem has him much more worried. Not one prone to dreams (at least, none that he can usually remember for long), and certainly not one prone to nightmares, Arien cannot shake the idea that this dream has real significance - that Alloryn is truly in trouble.
But what can he do?
***********************
The night falls in all of its rainy glory, and as fortune would have it, the waymeet is not fit for habitation. The cave idea is brought up, but the revelation of the sleeping bear within pretty much defets that idea. Arien has no desire to try to remove an angry bear from its lair, and understands full well that Char would have an unbreakable moral compunction to avoid an encounter that would surely end badly for the creature (to say nothing of the needless personal risk the group would assume in such an encounter).
Makeshift tents it is, then, the knight decides to himself. Before anyone can act on it, though, a small discussion within the group hs lurched dangerously close to a fight.
It is plain that, for whtever reason, neither Char nor Dapple trust Jal whatsoever. Arien has a difficult time wrpping his mind around this distrust - while he himself may not be overfond of the gladiator's personality, for instance, he would trust the man with his life. Would trust any of them; after all, had Dwan not handpicked this group? Wasn't that enough for them?
Char seemed particularly concerned with Jal's mention of someone dead, but Arien was largely indifferent - spirits, enchantments, illusions... weren't they all one and the same? What difference did it make with what sort of magic the man used to know things?
The stange mage appered to break into an argument with some unseen person while trying to explain himself (as if he needed to do so), while the unrelenting rain continued to soak them all. Finally, something cracked within the knight.
Uncharacteristically, cheerful Arien spoke sharply to his companions. "Enough of this nonsense!" he snapped. "The man uses magic to see things, he has already said so! Why do you question him so? Do you mean to learn his secrets, to use them for yourselves? Then by Heironius', beard, what difference does it make? Even dogs have sense enough to get out of the rain, but here we stand like fools and bicker!
Let us do as Char says, go to the waymeet, and make what shelter we can. If you must persue this matter, at least wait until we are a bit dryer!"
Without looking to see if anyone folllows, the knight heads for the waymeet.

Subject: hmph
Yet another reason why I should install a special webmaster exemption to allow multiple smites in the same thread. **attempts to add extra smites to RK**
I'll be thirty and one this coming February. Older than a lot of the whippersnappers around here, but not as long in the teeth as some... yet.
Then again, I probably deserve every age joke. When I was younger, I used to mercilessly kid my coworkers. They'd tell me that one day, I'd be old, too, to which I'd respond, "Sure, but you'll be dead!"
So whatever...
