The List Friendship RingFri, 20 Mar 1998SeashimmerWandering through the halls, bucket in hand, Seashimmer spots a tall, black haired woman whom she doesn't recognize. She carefully sneaks up behind her, then dumps the contents of the bucket over StarFire's head."Welcome to the Halls of Mist, StarFire. Hope I didn't get your towel." She vanished off into the crowd again, searching for another newbie she's heard rumors about. At last she spots Anna, standing near the edge of the hall. As she rubs a small pearl ring, she gradually turns invisable from the feet up. Thus hidden, she walks up to Anna and delicately pours the bucket of sea water over her head. "And welcome to you, too, Anna, though I see you haven't presented yourself yet." Digging into her pockets, she finds a towel, although, for unknown reasons, it is shaped like a duck rather than a sheep. She shrug, and hands the towel over, watching as it gradually becomes visable, inch by inch.
NightfireNightFire looks over at Becca, Becca gives her a conspiratorial wink and they dash in to the center of the Hall just as some gypsy music decends through out the hall. the two dance as if they had not a care. The gypsy dances so that it makes you think of fire in its purest forms, it's almost as if you could warm yourself. The Tiger-Wolf like a mountain river the two dances compliment and off set each other. Night Fire grabs the troll and Becca grabs the nearest partner and a snowball dance has begun!Tue, 17 Mar 1998HeartsongHeartsong uses a quick tornado spell to dry herself and then finds a towel to dry off the little pathetic mess of Apache Tear. Then she laughs histerically and mindsends: I deserved that and thank you for the greeting Flamecat. I am also glad you don't have any water. I do not think Apache Tear could stand it again.Then she gestures to the small bundle in her arm. Apache Tear stares out and gives a pathetic mew. Heartsong laughs again and disappears into the Mist as Flaimcat and Yvonne walk off. Then she calls down a rainstorm that would make a monsoon look like drizzle. It drenches her collegues and then it stops. Two large towels appear at their feet and they hear in the distance. "Sorry, but paybacks are hell." Then she sends in a flock off sheep, each carrying an Apache Tear (obsidian) that they lay down at the feet of Yvonne and Flaimcat. Soory you got caught in the middle of my revenge Flaimcat, but I hope the Apache Tears will make up for that and the sheep. Heartsong removes herself from the Mist with a hesitant step. As she sees Riverwolf waiting in open invitation, she runs and hugs her. Then she mind sends with tears in her eyes: Thank you for the welcome. I thought I was being too much of a pain. I do accept your invitation to come join in and so does Apache Tear. Thank you. With that, Heartsong sends a huge blue mage light to iluminate the hall which gives of rays of warmth and welcome. Then she sends down a shower of Apache Tears that neatly land in each of the listsibs hands. Then she recites the story of the Apache Tear: It date back to rhe Cherokee Indians and is a symbol of power. They are actually obsidian and when held up to the lite can be seen thru like glass. Enjoy with good health. Just as Riverwolf is about to walk off, Heartsong grabs her by the arm and opens her hand. In it she places a special Apache Tear amulet that is surounded in amythest. Then she bows in reverance and head off to join her bouncing familiar in the dance and relvry. She even has a few sheep to hand out later. (wink) Heartsong feels the love of the sheep shaped moose and wants to return the favor. She sits down and thinks trying to find something good. Then it hits her. She smiles and leaps to her feet. She attaches herself to the nearest node and draws forth as much energy as she can contain then she hurls it into the air where it explodes into Hearts the color of purple, blue, red and jade. Then she uses a small amount of energy to form a blue Tiger's eye around NightFire's neck. She mindsends: It is the stone completely of the Earth and is for strength and spiritual alignment. Then Heartsong smiles and goes to find Apache Tear. Apache Tear pops out of the main group and bouces over to NightFire. Then she moves her paws in a series of intricate patterns and on NightFire shoulders lies a cape of sheepskin that changes colors as NighFire moves. Then Apache Tear disappears in a puff of smoke. Heartsong see the new pet and smiles. then she mind sends with a tint of laughter: Normal is for people who do not read Misty and I think he is kinda cute. Seems to have a mind of his own though like Furball. Apache Tear glares at Heartsong and flexes her claws. Heartsong laughs and says: See what I mean. No respect. Then she looks at the water and notices Apache Tear sitting with the frog and then he jumps on her back and she dances around while he holds on. This makes Heartsong fall over in laughter. I think we have a conspiracy forming Shadowspun, but I do think they have the idea of it. Let's dance everyone. And with that the music begins and Heartsong dances in time with the music and a mist of rainbow colors. Heartsong hears the subtle call of the newbie and witha flick of the wrist she palces a blue ora that will not come off until everyone knows that she is a newbie. Then she mindsends: I left the mark on our newbie, someone better soak her like I got. Yvonne, why don't you try out your new bucket. Then Heartsong goes back to dancing and giggles. < AndiEtain accepts the towels from Jeanne Riverwolf gratefully. She wasn't soaked or pounced when she was a newbie, so she supposes she is on the list...:)She wanders around reintroducing herself and meeting the newbies, generally getting into the relaxing nature of the Hall. "Ahhhh...", she sighs, "It's good to be back among friends." She wanders about a bit longer watching the gypsy dance with interest. "Gypsy dances are so wonderful! I wish I could see more of them!" Suddenly hungry, she extends her silver wings, flicks them slightly, and a container of fresh hummus and wheat pita appear in her hand. "Hummus and Pita, anyone?" she offers. [Archivist insert: I'll take some!! Is it garlic?]
Sat, 21 Mar 1998JeanneJeanne Riverwolf stops dancing long enough to collect the gifts of Heartsong and her Apache Tear, giving her a thoughtful :Thank you!: She says :You're Welcome: to StarFire and Etain, watching with wide green eyes at the fairie who is much larger than her friend Jareth's Dese bond, Cheylasa.:Hummus and Pita! Yum I am starved! You know what would go good with this?: She asked, conjuring up Mozarrella cheese with tomato slice snacks. : Yummy yum yum!: She looked warily at both Etain and StarFire, noticing that both had Black Hair and Green Eyes...:hmmm...maybe I ought to change my coloring again?: she wondered. With another wave of her hand, she promptly turned her hair a subdued purple and her eyes back to a silvery color. :There, now we won't have everyone in the Halls calling us The Triplets or some other such nonsence!: Clover came up behind her, demanding some of that lovely snack her mistress was eating, and Jeanne could not deny her beloved yellow sheep the taste of tomato-cheese-pita-hummus all in one bite...Clover ate her snack contentedly, presenting all of the feasters with a dessert of fresh clovers. Four leaf clovers. Jeanne said:Thank you silly sheep:and promptly devoured the clovers. They were absolutely delicious! Pulling her trademark quarterstaff weapon out of thin air, she used it as a walking stick to get her now-stuffed body to a lounging couch located in an isolated corner of the hall, so that she could think of what she should do next. "HMMMmmm maybe I should open a magical portal into the next dimensions and pull through my promised guests, besides, They are so much more fun than Usagi-chan" Usagi: I heard that! Jeanne(thinking):UH-OH! Sailor Moon: Moon Crystal Power! (Jeanne hides behind couch) Mars:Hey, where did she go! Ive got a score to settle with that sheep-loving maniac! Sailor Moon: Wahhhhh!!!! I want to go home! (She promptly disappears) Sailor Mars: Hey, Where'd Usagi go! I want to go home too! Wahhhhhh!!!!! (She also promptly disappears) (Jeanne comes out of hiding, with a big sweatdrop on her face, Super-D style) Jeanne:Next time it is going to be RPG characters, for sure...They should be easier to control than those anime girls...hyper they are!
Aerith: WHAT!!!!! Jeanne(whispering):looks like I spoke too soon. [Archivist again, here: Jeanne... *shakes head* Remember that thing about opening your mouth and making things worse?? *grin*]
KatieAs the gypsy music begins, a girl on the edge of the Hall looks up from the book she's reading in confusion. :Looks like I've been out of it for a while again. But this looks like fun:With a grin, she jumps up and joins in the dance. -=-=-=-=-=-==-=- TaynarFrom a dark corner of the mist a tall person slowly steps into the light. He is wearing simple clothes with a green hooded cape covering his features."I am Taynar Fenrir", he says with a simple smile and bow, " and these are the twins, Beltain and Samhain." From the mist two wolves step forward and bow thier heads to one and all. Picking a spot where he can observe the dance and music Taynar sits whith each hand carefully stroking his two companions.
HeartsongA small ball of fluff enters the Hall. She begins to bounce up and down under the small gathering of pita and humus people. She starts whining and mewing. Then she mindsends: Please give me some too. I never get humus. Heartsong enjoys other food better.Then on cue a tall red headed woman appears from a swirl of mist. She is no longer the little girl she was and now she is adorned in a long flowing royal blue dress with tight fitting sky blue bodice that hugged her chest. Her hair flowed down at all sides. Then she pointed her finger at the small ball of fluff and a blue cloud surrounded her. Then a slender black panther steps out of the cloud. As everyone looks to the young lady in curiosity. She shruggs and mindsends: I had to grow up sometime and under everyone's love, I was able too and so was Apache Tear. Thank you. May I please have some pita and humus too. And just for the record my fur ball is never deprived and often too spoiled for her own good. Heartsong knocks herself upside the head for forgetting her manners. She removes the mist spell from Starfire and offers her apology. She was only being ornery. Then she hands her a emerald brotch with a green silk cape that flows like Heartsongs dress. Next she approaches Etain and admires her wings. She then hands Etain a jar that contain eternally blazing sparkles. She explains,"These are to decorate your wings and will illuminate rooms like stars when spread all over." When Heartsong has had her fill, she leaves the group to find two others. Apache Tearfollows close behind. She goes to Anna first and hugs her. Then she hands her an Apache Tear and Apache Tear licks her hand. They both send Anna a feeling of aceptance and welcome. Then they ask her to join in the fun and dance. Also Heartsong reaches into the Mist and brings out a small white owl. She mindsends: This is a familiar from my home. Her name is Anastasia. In my home every child recieves a familiar not long after they are able to talk. This one has no child because she was the last in her batch. She could really use a friend like you and she would stay with you always. She is very smart and can mindspeak. She also has magical powers like my Apache Tear. Would you like her?" The small owl flies from Heartsongs hands onto Anna's shoulder. There she caresses the girl's cheek and mindsends: You are truly caring and I would like to be you friend. Will you have me? Heartsong sneaks off to let them talk. She sends: If you do not want her, just bringher to me. I will be dancing. I think you two would do well together. Next Heartsong approaches Taynor. She sits down next to him and Apache Tear appears behind her to be a back rest. When she is finally comfortable. She turns to Taynor and says"Your friends are beautiful. How old are they? My name is Heartsong and this over grown beast is Apache Tear. She is my familiar. How long have you been here on the list. I am new and just learning names. So you will have to forgive me if I do not now you." She waits patiently for him to talk, while sending a questing thought to find ShadowWolf. she believes he would enjoy the festivities and should come meet the newbies.
Lisa:Uni, Claude and Lisa flow into the hall of mist, Glad for a refuge from the pressures of reality. They thank heartsong for her gift, and immediately they join the Three stooges. The wander aroung the hall, greting old friends, and saying hello to all the newbies, before joining to the dance floor, and joining in. After dancing for a short time, they start a refresment stand with Hummus, pita bread, cheese and tomato, as well as M&M sheep, ambrosia and other goodies, saying to all "Supper is served" The three friends, sigh a sigh of deep contentment. They are among friends, and feel safe and loved!:
TaynorTaynar turns and smiles slightly to Heartsong, "My friends thank you for the compliment. The have been with me for two seasons and have yet to convey their age to me. As for how long I have been here, I've been lost in the mist for a full cycle of the moon and am new to this place, and these people." Without a thought Samhain turns and politely snuggles against Heartsong hoping for a little attention from a new friend.HeartsongHeartsong laughs and eagerly pets the new friend. Then Apache Tear reaches over and nuzzles each of them. Alow purr can be heard in her throat. She then pulls away from beneath Heartsong and rubs her wet nose against Taynar's cheek. All is well. Heartsong laughs at the thought of such wild animals all acting like house pets. It is good. She mindsends: Maybe I should have two companions. It might be worth the effort of coonjuring up a black tiger. They are hard and it would take a day to do, but it might be fun. What do you think?Apache Tear nips her arm and she laughs. Then Apache mindsends: You better not think of doing that sweetie or you might find me in a bad mood or a dead familiar. The new one of course. Heartsong laughs again and says,"I think my friend has made it clear that there will be no new editions to the family anytime soon. Oh well, maybe next time. Well this is boring. Let's leave the three to wrestle and let's go dance. Oh and here are some towels for when Seashimmer and Yvonne get a hold of you. I would hate to see you drenched. With that she hands Taynar some towels and some chocolate sheep. She even goes as far as to conjer up a necklace made of wolf fangs and tiger' eyes. The latter is for strengthand spiritual alignment. Then she bows to him and reaches out her hand to take his and pull him. onto the dance floor. There she calls for a good R and B song and dances. MuranogThe air in the Hall of Mist shimmers and hums as the Troll Adept puts forth his power. A strange chocolate taste fills the mouths of all the gathered beings in the Hall. A reddish glow appears around his fist, then slowly drifts outward to illuminate a small woman carrying a large bucket. Conversations stop momentarily as all nearby listsibs, pets and familiars instinctively turn to look at Yvonne Shadowshape, Knight of Fluff and Bearer of the Enchanted Bucket."Although you are not a newbie, milady, you have been most helpful and friendly to those who are new to our gathering, and so I deem you worthy to bear the Friendship Ring. Wear it for a week and then pass it on to another worthy bearer in turn." The Troll Adept removes the ring from his finger and places it on one of Yvonne Shadowshape's fingers with a smile. As he does so, three separate rings appear on his own hand. With a smile, he waves his hand, Yvonne Shadowshape ceases to glow and conversations all around resume.
