Hi'ya Amanda:


I haven't been doing much storytelling lately. Too much researching, not enough writing. So here's a little skit to show you a small aspect of my life here. I've heard you're thinking of being a bard too. Why don't you send me some of your stories?

{Character actions}
(Character thoughts)

A Council Meeting

15+ people in a small room with no windows...

Fabricarius (FA): Good thing I'm not claustrophobic.

Larissa (LA): Why? You getting a lot of Christmas presents this year?

FA: {Blank stare}

LA: (Don't these people get anything?)

Berengarius (BE): Look at my feet!

Catorse (CA): Keep that up Berengarius and I'll have you brought up on charges.

Risus (RI): Mighty is the pig with the chicken's soul.

CA: {Blank stare}

Fraxima (FR): You're a Criamon too, what did he mean?

BE: How should I know? I'm only eccentric, Risus is on another plane.

LA: (Now departing for cuckoo land, flight 286...)

Lucinda (LU): The meeting will come to order.

Everyone ignores her.

LU: {Looks to Aubrin with a "why me?" look}

Aubrin (AU): Quiet people.

Everyone ignores him.

AU: {Deep inhale} SHUT UP!

Everyone looks to Aubrin.

Drake (DR): Quack!

Everyone looks to Drake.

AU: Very well. Who wants to bring up the first issue?

BE: I think we should all have "the Evil" appended to all of our names.

Forticulus (FO): Not.

Viator (VI): It'll show that we support Aubrin in his evil quest.
AU: As Aubrin the Evil, I think it's an excellent idea. Muhahaha.

LA: But what if we're not evil?

Everyone: {Blank stare}

LA: He he, silly me. Of course we're evil.

FA: I think Albus would approve of this.

CA: He would not. Just because you're sleeping with that closet diabolist doesn't mean you know how he thinks.

FA: I do too! And I don't sleep with him!

CA: Oh, so you admit that you're a diabolist?

FA: I AM NOT!

CA: Care to say that under Frosty Breath?

FA: YES!!

CA: Well, I don't have that spell yet.

BE: Sheesh Fabricarius. No need to yell.

FA: Sorry.

Frangere (FG): You are so submissive.

FA: {Standing up} Am not.

FG: {Glares} Sit. Down.

FA: {Sits}

FG: See?

AU: Ready to vote?

DR: I will rule the Liminals! Quack!

AU: {Sigh} (Being evil sure can be trying)

RI: I am the Walrus.

AU: (Give me strength!)

After much discussion and vacillation. The motion doesn't pass.

AU: (Rats! Foiled again!)

[The End]


So, as you can see, it's not that much different than how it is back at home. I still miss everyone though. So, do you think I've been forgiven yet?


Your fellow bard,

Larissa
