"Thankee Milord Ranger!" Yvonne ties on the bracelet and sweeps a curtsey before melting back into the crowd.

Freedom Walker

I also would like to announce that I have finnally been graced with a pet/ friend. Chenci an all white hawk settles on Freedoms shoulder. :for the time being he has chosen to stay with me...: Chenci lookes at the few people who are listening and tilts his head to the side. *Hi* Comes a quite verbal greeting form him even as there is no obvious sign that he talked. :He is almost an exact opposite of me...: (laughing) : I guess I deserve him for all my attitude....:

Aerden

Finally, the Mage ends his 'discussion.' Aerden nods and smiles at a couple of listsibs who pass by, then returns to his exploration of the Circle of Willis and other intriguing parts of neuroanatomy. The bookmark dangling from his textbook reads, 'I Break for "Mystic Stream!"'

Barbara

She sends a warm welcome to all the newbies along with a gift of fleecy stuffed sheep, sending to them all These sheep may go with you whenever your away from us, so that they can remind you that we are here and always ready to talk.

She decides to wander around and watch all that is going on now. ooh a hotspring, me thinks I need a soak

Chris

Chris dissolves back into the mist and dissappears waiting for another day when she my put her two cents in again. Waiving good bye to her fellow listsibs and with Safa sending warm feelings of friendship to everyone and their bondmates.

Sorchafyr

(Don't remember who let this sheep loose in the hall, but I did take note of it at the time. Could you let me know if it already had a name? Thanks)

Aerden

Aerden finishes reading about the four arteries that branch to form the Circle of Willis and feels something bump against his leg. He looks down to see a stuffed sheep looking up at him. "Well, hello." he bends down to pick up the sheep. "Where did you come from?" He looks around to see if anyone dropped a sheep, but it seems that everyone else in the Hall has one, too. "Hm, I guess you're with me, then." He reads the tag on the sheep's collar: "From Barbara," and smiles. "Thank you, Barbara," he says, knowing that the message will get to her. The Hall of Mist is even better than message drums that way.

Jeanne

"um," she said nervously to Sorcha. "Her name is Clover, the reason being that she creates yellow-clover flowers, and clovers on the rare occasion that she feels like eating them. Four leaved ones, in fact. I must say, she's never done that before."Jeanne said pointing to the circlet of clover and flowers which had grown on her forehead during the short speech she was making.

"I hope you two are very happy together!" And with that last line, Jeanne ran back across the Hall, and stopped. Someone had let a very large, very white tiger loose in the room, and though none of the listsibs seemed to mind, he was making an absolute mess trying to eat pita and hummus.

She planted her hands firmly on her hips, and did her best spoiled brat impersonation.

"You great silly beast. Who released you in here? Didn't they know that you have a hard time eating hummus?"she shot an accusatory glance back in the direction of Clover and Sorcha, who were both in the rapt expression mode of most bondmates, not only in the first few minutes, but for the rest of their lives.

:I suspect that you too will soon be wearing that exact same face in but a moment.:said an amused male mind-voice.

"Oh, no."Jeanne backed away slowly, noticing that it was nearly impossible as there was now an invisible wall behind her. "I mean, I always wanted to be with you, but have I done anything to deserve you?" :Of course you have. You have given one person a great gift, and deserve one in return. My name is Serran ni'Grotto, and you are Jeanne. We belong together.:he said once into her mind.

Jeanne felt suddenly weak. This was the moment, a realization of her greatest dream. She started to let herself sink to the floor in astonishment, noticing that she ended up resting on a furry, white with black striped couch, which seemed to be breathing.

:Of course Im breathing. Im your mindmate.Oh, and you can call me Serran: he said, and Jeanne was pretty sure that the last bit of that was transmitted in public mode so that everyone would know that he most definately was now bonded to someone. Someone who would very soon have to get up and clean his hummus and pita mess up off the once-pristine floor.

Starfire

She drops the illusion, revealing silver streaks dominating her hair and eyes more gray-sliver than green.

"yes, I'm a mage. My friends call me the Fire Mage. I'm just recently Adept. I guess it'll take me a little getting used to."-shrug-

Jeanne

Jeanne shortly followed him over to the newest of the newbies. "Don't mind Serran, Its just his way of saying hello! By the way, here's a towel for you when the bucket carring Yvonne and Seashimmer finally get around to saying hello." So saying, she waved her hand and again appeared a warm magical towel wrapped in a waterproof material. "Sans the Clover flower, though I am sure you will recieve all sorts of gifts when the listsibs get ahold of you. Welcome, oh newest member of our ever expanding family." She smiled at Elsa's bewilderment, then bowed herself back into her corner, beconing Serran ni'Grotto to follow.

Anna (not the Archivist!!)

Stasia

Andi

Jeanne

"Sorry about that Amanda, " she apologised. " I guess I'll have to join the official welcoming commitee and add another title on the long long list. That is just a way of saying hello, and you will be pounced and splashed plenty before the end of the week, so here is a towel. Save it for when Yvonne or Seashimmer get to you with the bucket of salt-water." So saying, a large, fluffy mage towel wrapped in her trademark waterproof purple plastic dropped at Amanda's feet.

She whispers to Amanda, "Are you going to take a Mistic name? Mine is irl April, but I go by Jeanne here, where all fantasy can become reality. That is, where that fantasy does not violate any copyright laws." " I also see that you like SM, and I myself am a big fan of all anime, SM being the first that I watched."

She gave the startled Amanda a hug, took her large quarterstaff and hobbled back to her corner once again, leaving Serran to wander about, since he obviously enjoyed pouncing on people, changed her mind halfway back, and proceeded to vigorously hug every other member of the list, after thoughtfully putting her staff down.(now is that a bad sentence or what?)

Heartsong

Heartsong looked in the direction of Apache Tear and laughed to see an overgrown panther jumping about like a frog. She then turned back to Kat. "Kat I think you deserve a psecial gift for your generosity. Where I come from all people bond to a animal. If you do not mind, I have brought a friend for you.(Heartsong reaches out into the air and a small creme colored kitten appears in her hand.) She has no name yet, but she is just a baby. She will grow with you as you grow in the Hall. She will be a full grown lioness one day to match you. You see I know in my heart that you are just as strong and bold as she. So pleasse take her in good health. She is an orphan and could use a friend.

Heartsong smiles and walks off to find Etain. When she sees her she walks over and gives her a mental hug. When Etain turns to greet her, she bows politely. She mindsends: Thank you for the chocolate sheep. I guess you did not get my gift to you from last time. I thought your wings were so beautiful and so I brought this (in her hand appears a bottle of a thousand tiny stars.) These are to decorate your wings and to fill all you world with brightness and hope.

Then Apache Tear comes up behind her and nuzzles Etain's hand. As Eatin looks down at her. Apache places a necklace in her hand. It is a simple strap of leather with an Apache Tear surrounded by emeralds and amethysts. Then sshe walks off to join the wolves again. Heartsong laughs and quietly leaves Etain to her friends. Then she goes in search of another kind individual, Sorcha. As Apache Tear realizes who her mindamte is going to find, she runs after her. As they reach Sorcha, Apche Tear jumps up and gives her a big hug and Heartsong does likewise. They both hold her in a warm embrace and praise her for her beauty and kindness. Then they froma spell together and a cloak of golden suns and silver moons appears around Sorcha's shoulders. It is a special cloak that gives off eternal warmth and comfort while lighting ones way in the dark. Then an array of crystal and rubies are scattered at her feet. "This is for you kindness and encouragement. It has meant alot to me."

Then Heartsong and Apache disappear to find Freedom. Heartsong stepss out of the Mist right in front of Freedom. She gives her a big hug and says,"It's nice to hav a defender on ones side. I am glad that you have accepted my minor gift, but I was finally able to find one that I think would suit you much better." She pulls out a set of arm bands, wrist braces, and a head ban made of steel with arcane symbols carved in them. Then each are set with a single Tiger's eye. "This a special set that will bring strength and protection to the wearer. It was made by a powerful Adept and it blocks off all magical attacks. You are essentially immune to anything short of an earthquake under your feet. I figure this is the least I can give a fellow warrior. Peace and health. I must go."

Heartsong then sees a sheep in her hand. She sends a stuffed cat to Barbara to give her company in her office. Heartsong jumps to see a fellow Adept in the Hall. She runs to meet Fire Mage. She mindsends: It's abotu time there were mages here. My name is Heartsong and that panther plying with the wolves is my baby Apache Tear. I am soory, but I do not douse people with water, but I do bring newbies special gifts. (She brings out a perfect crystal ball) Sorry, this is the best I could think of. I hop that will be useful to you. Then she hugs her fellow Adept and bounces off to see the last newbie she knew off. She spotted Elsa and Gates over to her. She shakes her hand and says"I have been wanting to meet you. sorry if I have not had a chance to introduce myself. I am Heartsong and I hav a special gift for you." She steps aside to reveal a small blue scaled dragon bounce out from the shadows. "This is Skydancer. He is only a baby, but he will grow in time with you and you could probably ride him. He is looking for a friend and I think you two would be perfect. Please accept him and give him the home I cannot. You two will do eachother good. Well I need to go."

Heartsong began to walk into the Mist when she felt faint. She sat down on the bench and she felt dizzy again. then is stopped. She was about to get up when she spotted something coming towards her out of the Mist. It a ball of bright rainbow colored light. She was about to run when the thing took on a familiarity. She remembered seeing it somewhere before and then it hit her. It was her old friend. As she ran to it, it unballed and was a small scaled dragon with rainbow colored scales and blue eyes. It had no wings, though. Heartsong cried out for joy,"Woosa, I never expected to see you again. I thought I had lost you when I entered this world. How did you get here?"

Woosa laughed and grabbed Heartsing in a hug as she landed on her knees to be at eyelevel. "Since you have been finding homes for our orphans and being nice to everyone, I was allowed to come. Besides, how couls I resist picking on furball since she got big." As if that were a cue, Apache leaped out of the Mist to tumble the little dragon. Then she minsends: I am not the same little cub you can push around anymore. I just might bite.

Woosa laughed and mocked,"Oh foo foo, your just an overgrown pussy cat. You would not hurt a fly." Then they all laughed togetherand ran off to join the dancing in the Hall.

Andi

Etain accepts Apache Tear's gift as well, fasening the necklace around her neck. She rubs the wolf's ears before she leaves.

Finding a lull in the conversation she had been in, she goes over to the huuuuggee comfy couch in the corner, pulls out her laptop and books. She sighs. "I hate homework, but at least here I can be easily distracted..." :)

Seashimmer

Nightfire

Whew! I forgot how exausting those dances can be! I'm geting out of shape! Becca pades over to her panting and mindsends her agreement. Let's see we got a hot tub here, (I love hottubs).

The Gypsy departs to the garden a stone's throw away from the hot tub. then a little farther from the hot tub a small mountain of solid rock springs up from the ground and forms itself into a lovely bathing area.(surprising and shocking the gypsy) It has four pools one very private hot pool ;> a not so private cool bathing pool, a very larg cool swiming area and a large hot pool for group soakings. There are some waterfalls running down the hill some mearly musical one or two just for looks.

NightFire Rushes back into the Hall saying "Oyah, Oyah! (read as "hey everybody") There has appeared in the garden a large pool type thing, glancing around the room she get a huge smile on her face and childishly chalenges

Last one in is a rotten egg! *g*

Jehanneton

C'mon, you know you want an Eldan-loving Order to harass the list when he gets overlooked!

Jehanneton chimes in, "We do! We do!!"
Raven continued: 6) The women get a chance. True, it's a very /slim/ chance (arguing territorial rights with Kero is not especially conducive to good health) but it's better than we get with Vanyel and Firesong!

3) He's sexy. Okay, so he gets routinely outshined by the Tayledras and the really powerful mage-types, but he's still sexy. Those white streaks in his hair.. is this just me?

2) He's a heck of a nice guy. No megalomania, no obsessions, no fits of angst and bottomless depression... I like the blues as much as the next girl, but it's gotta break sometime.

I know just what you mean. It's not often you read about a character who makes your knees goes weak and your heart flutter, but Eldan does it for me every time. Particularly in that scene in the cave where he & Kero... oh well, you know what I mean.

And the main reason to found an Order of Eldan Advocation: 1) Why the heck not?

Can we, please?????
