<p><span style="color: #00cc66">Let me start this by staying this is a round robin with no set order. Everyone to include the authors, lurkers or first time posters is welcome to add their piece. Every now and again I find myself in a situation where I need to just write something silly that has no rhyme or reason. Since we had a couple of interesting go a rounds on the general horseplay thread I think it would be interesting to make a story out of it. </span></p><p><span style="color: #00cc66">Yes yes, Gia this was originally your concept and I suggested that you should finish your tale before starting something new BUT... I changed my mind.</span></p><p>So that setting <and this is subject to change as things progress>: <b>Ekuthh</b> (dark elf necro/wiz/, <b>Niko</b> & his sadistic Muse (woodelf from qeynos Ranger), <b>Tainda</b> (Fae Zerker), <b>Baak</b> (I think he's a kerran? Swashy<Turns out he's a DE brigand><img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />, <b>the good evil queen</b> (DE but so omnipotent that she's beyond having a class to hold back her powers), <b>Valk</b> (half human half Gnome tinkerer) and a spattering of others all are gathered within the Freeport Society for the betterment of Evil.</p><p>Niko is struggling over his next manuscript at his writing desk. While his hand streams across the parchment writing out the next scene his muse lashes out cracking her whip across his back each time he crumbles up a piece of parchment finding it not worthy.</p><p>Near to Tea but far enough away as not to distract him Tainda and Baak wrestle across the floor. Gouging, biting and pushing one another in an attempt to win the basket full of fresh muffins that Zoffie had dropped off earlier. Their arguing and rough housing carrying through most of the fortress that is the Freeport Society for the betterment of Evil.</p><p>In another room away from the ensuing chaos Ekutth is in the middle of a dissection of a Euridite that was unlucky enough to catch his eye. Wanting to find more inspiration for his up and coming post he seeks to gain insight as to how they function in the biomechanical aspects. </p><p>The Good Evil Queen lounges in her chair getting a foot rub from one of Niko's animated servants (Hey a skeleton being all bones is really good at working out the knots and can massage for hours without growing tired).</p><p>Deep within the bowels of fortress Valk continues her search for the miniature clockwork that contains her yet to be released manuscripts. The basement being the only place in the society that she's given free reign to create her munitions.</p>

Hmmm didn't see any actual rules set out anywhere, so thought it was round robin where you are given a set of characters then you basically feed off the poster before you for plot developments. Didn't know you had to write about your own character.  Sorry! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I'll use me eeeeeeevil fae dirge extrodinaire - Keala Oppari.  (That last name ties in w/her dirgeyness hehe <img src="/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />&nbsp<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.  /ooc off</p><p>Having heard of the Society as it is called by most everyone in Freeport (well those that want to stay alive anyway) Keala is curious. She should know better thant to be curious by now, but it is innate and so she goes with it. She takes the muffins and wine sent to her by her Kerran friend, who happens to be an excellent cook, and stealths herself.  The treats are in case anyone can see through her spell (bribes often work better than discretion around here).</p><p>She moves quietly through the rooms, noting the different people and races wondering just how, exactly, do they plan to better evil. She hasn't seen anything to make her believe this is anymore than a clubhouse for overgrown children. That one dissecting the Erudite seems to be the most serious about it (know your enemy and all that). She begins to wonder why all the fuss about being careful when talking about this place and the group. She sees nothing to substantiate it's reputation.</p><p>Until she reaches the final room. In here she finds the most horrific and gut wrenching scene ever to be witnessed. Forgetting about being careful she drops her stealth shielding and flees as fast as her wings can take her only to bump right into one rather grumpy ranger. Her eyes wide with terror she begins to stammer.</p><p>" T   T   T    Troll......   T   T   T   Tutu....."</p>

<p>"Ahh yes you must have been down to valk's labratory," Niko mumbes between bites of muffins and cookies from the basket that had so how ended up in his hand. "Thats a place so evil I'd never step foot down there unless...."</p><p>"Unless what," The fae dirge questioned.</p><p>"Unless i was really hungry and i know that she had some tasty food," Niko mumbles scratching his as he ponders other reasons why he'd go down there. "Or maybe it if i just really wanted to see what valk was working on."</p><p>"You really don't make much sense do you?," the sharp eyed fae noted as she quickly pulled away from Niko.</p><p>"Or maybe if she asked me to come down. Yeah if she asked I'd go down in the case as well."</p><p>Senseing that the ranger was about to be mauled by something or someone Keala caught sight of another small fae standing at the top of the stairs with a 500lb (total) rosewood strongbox filled with bricks.</p><p>"Or is Ekuthh or hte Good evil queen wanted me to go down there. Yeah most definately because well ekuthh always has a good reason and hte good evil queen gets what she wants, that's jsut how it is."</p><p>At the top of the stairs Tainda leans back pulling her arms as far back as they'll go to add extra force to her throw.</p><p>"Or if i got lost while wandering around. I tend to do that from time to tom so if i was lost i might end up going down there."</p><p>"YOU PROMISED ME A POST ON RISE OF THE DARKHANDED!!," Tainda shouts from the top of hte stairs a moment before slinging the box at Niko.</p><p>"Huh?" was all the Niko mutter before the box filled with bricks smashed into the side of his head plowing his over and raining bricks all over the area.</p><p>Panting at the top of the stairs Tainda quirked a brow as she caught sight of the other fae.</p><p>"How is that even possiable," Niko mumbled witht he whole side of his face swollen from teh impact and blood leaking from his nose. "I mean she weights like 15 poudns how can she lift that much let along throw it"</p><p>"Ignore him," Tainda sugested as she beaconed Keala to follow her. "But be carefull not to let his stare at you bottom. He's a perverted old ranger too."</p><p>From halfway burried beneath the pile of bricks and the remains of the strongbox Niko's eyes glisen as he watches the new fae girl go up the stairs toward Tainda. Fae girl bottoms were still girl bottoms after all.</p>

<p> "Well almost all the men in Freeport sport some sort of Fae fetish or another. I don't understand it myself, but I've learned how to deal with it. Luckily I have an excellent tailor so my cape here covers most of my bum.  But just in case..."</p><p>  Keala tossed a daze spell over her shoulder at the offending ranger. She heard a muffled groan and smiled.</p><p> "My name's Keala. Nice to meet you Tainda. I came here looking to see exactly what this society is about. I'm all for evil y'know. Hate all that goody mushy happy feely stuff. Bleh! So any chance I can get to spread evil I take it!  For instance, those muffins and such your friend over there just stuffed in his face."</p><p> Tainda's face showed eager expectation at the thought that the ranger's gluttony might cause him some trouble.  "Yes??"</p><p>  "Well, my friend sent 'em to me. She put in some sort of potion given to her by an alchemist. She said that it'll, how'd she put it?, oh put a man out of your misery for some time. "  *whispers*  "He'll be looking for the little ranger's room in the next few minutes"</p><p>  Both fae erupted in laughter.</p>

<p>After being COTHed (Call of the hated/[Removed for Content]/honored i don't think hero really fits Niko) to his desk to make the final preperations needed to finish his latest chapter for hte Dark Handed Niko felt a gurgle in his stomach.</p><p>The two mischievous fae peer around the door frame to see what will happen to Niko. The most holy of all rules within the society was not to disturb the authors. Even though no writing punishment had been established as to what would happen to anyone disturbing the authors at the same time none misjudged what that good evil queen would do to anyone who broke this most sacred rule. </p><p>Though rules like that commandment to not leave the toilet seat up was follow by most. Niko would receive a pair of electrical eels down his pants at least one a week to remind him. And with punishments like branding for smoking in the tapestry, said electric eels and crucifixion for not rising off the dinner plates before placing them into the sink, no one really wanted to find out first what exactly what the punishment was for disturbing someone's writings.</p><p>So the two fae girls were left to giggle in anticipation as a loud gurgling and some other not-so-happy digestive sounds came from Niko. As Niko sat a little straighter in obvious discomfort it was all that the two of them could do to not fall over. Their side hurt so much for laughing already it was all too much and the facial gestures that he was making were worth their weight in gold.</p><p>Yet for all the planning that Kaela had put into making her special muffins. She had missed one important detail. Niko having been a grunt militia soldier for the majority of his adult life had a stomach and digestive track of steel. Your insides have to become strong when you're eating meals that were sealed in a can a few decades before you open to eat them.</p><p>As the two fae Girls leaned in with eyes wide to see what was going to happen. They notice Niko shifting to the side to lift a cheek.</p><p>"Ut oh," was all Tainda had a chance to mutter before the noxious cone attack was launched.</p><p>Like blast from one of valk's steam cannons the noxious cone of incapacitating stench flew away from Niko's hind end striking both of the Fae. Enveloped in lingering green haze Niko had a contented smile across his face.</p><p>"Ahhh, I feel much better now," Niko said as he jumped atop his desk holding his latest chapter for Rise of the Dark Handed and shouting at the top of his lungs. "IT IS DONE!!!!"</p><p>Only the dull sound of crickets in the background answered his call.</p><p>"Eh why you two passed out?" Niko asked the nearly unconscious fae poking each of them with a stick.</p>

<p>After securing Tainda to SKgnome's 'My Little Spirit Steed' with a few thumb tacks he led her into the kitchen. Then after his third attempt was able to place the troll up on the counter so that she could swing her legs back and forth while he got her a snack.</p><p>Judging himself none to bright enough to figure that the SKgnome's weight would be increased to that of a troll he rubbed his back with one hand while using the other to rifle though a few of cabinets.</p><p>Once all of the SKgnome's pockets were filled with single service sized juice pouches, muffins, chocolate, fudge, cookies and anything else that looks sweet that he could get his hands on he took her by the hand to lead her back down to the laboratory.</p><p>"Now remember so be quiet and it was alright Nr. Niko wasn't actually writing. I had already finished writing, so now Mr. Niko is just waiting for his ego to get stroked a little before he writes more."</p><p>Unable to stop himself Niko cracked a grin as the SKgnome in troll form patted him on the head causing a few lacerations with the oversized claws.</p><p>"Alrighty now go play with Mr. Niko's dollies because Mr niko needs to go drop some kiddies off at the pool."</p><p>"Ohhh the pool!," the SKgnome grinned from ear to ear.</p><p>"Errr... not that kind of pool. But if you're a good girl and find momma's lost thumb sized clockwork Mr Niko will take you to a fun pool."</p><p>Even though her troll grin had faded a little once she realized that Mr Niko would not be taking her to a pool with the other kiddies she still smiled. All she had to do was mind momma's lost thumb sized clockwork then she could go to a fun pool.</p><p>"Remember to give it to mr. Niko and not momma though. Mr Niko needs an advanced copy of the documents on the thumb clockwork."</p><p>"Okay!," she responded even though he face contorted questioning why the documents should go the MR Niko and not momma first and also as to exactly what documents where. But that any documents might be brightly colored paper that she could cut up and stick to one another with glue</p>

<p> Keala chuckled to herself as the potion finally took effect.  That ranger thought the poison attack had subdued her but she was immune to such things. She merely used a useful little trinket a gnome friend had handed her that would make it appear to all others that she was incapacitated. Now with the ranger out of the picture all she had to do was grab a hold of Tainda and she could evacuate them out of the clutches of this wanna be troll.</p><p> Except she'd never bothered to learn how to cancel the machine's effect.</p><p> Drat.  Maybe the gnome-troll child wouldn't be too rough.</p><p> She could hope couldn't she?</p>

<p>The two fae slowly drifted up the stairs.</p><p>"I'm so stuffed, I'm almost going to have to walk. I really thought we were done for when she took us into the catacombs."</p><p>"Don't let Niko mislead you. Valk and her kids really aren't 'Evil,' but well they are just 'so wrong' we figured we couldn't let that creative chaos be used by the Qeynosians. That's not to say, don't be VERY CAREFUL around them, but you just never know what can happen if you visit the lab."</p><p>"These really are wonderful dresses, she won't get in trouble for letting us keep them?"</p><p>"No, SKGnome's gonna be fine. Valk mostly just tries to keep them from tearing up the Society, and anything else she manages as a parent is just gravy. That and she does try to teach the gnomelings good manners and how to share... which has benefits."</p><p>"It really was one of the nicer tea parties I've ever been to. I can't believe Niko thought he could sugar up the newbie then let her abuse us... then she lets us take a nap in those comfy doll beds, gives us 'princess dresses' to wear and feeds us the food that Niko gave her. I'm just glad the polymoph wore off right away... she really was rather disturbing as a Troll."</p><p>"See, not really 'evil,' but so scary in their own sweet caring way...." Both Fae shudder at the thought.</p>

"Gia is here!"</p><p>Without a moment's pause the ouerly lound sound of a galloping steed outside is hear along witht he comical sound sof it screeching to a hault outside. Shortly there after someone bangs loudly on the ouside of the door.</p><p>After pulling off his mask Niko opens the door to greet a snobby gnome with over sized bifocals.</p><p>"I'm here to make you aware that you are being sued for copyright infringement," the gnome announced as he shoved a letter into Niko's face.</p><p>"What?," was all teh Niko could stammer as he thumbed through the stack of papers.</p><p>"We at the Sony Entertainment group take it seriously when a copyright of ours is used without special permission."</p><p>"Well you got here fast enough," Niko muttered as he signed the paper noting that he had recieved the summons.</p><p>"We at the sony entertainment group pride our selves upon the speed at which we sue people like yourself."</p><p>"hmmmmm," Niko pondered. "Any chance you could use that speed to fix the broken quests and bugs still in the game."</p><p>"Not my department," the gnome responded as he took back the recipt from Niko. "Now in the future please do not use trademarks of the Sony Entertainment group without express permission bring granted first."</p><p>"Stupid buricrats," Niko mumbles as he shut the door.</p><p>"ohh i have an idea," Niko announced to no one inpeticular as he raced over to get his black paint.</p><p>Then after painting his mask Black put it back on his head and retook his valient pose.</p><p>"MY Ranger sense is tingling... Gia is here."</p><p>Without a pause yet again there was hte sound of galloping hoofs screeching to a hault outside and another fist banging on the door.</p><p>"Mr Niko," the same gnome adressed him. "The black spiderman hood, otherwise known as Venom, is also a trandmark of the Sony Entertainment group. here if you second notice that you are being sued."</p><p>"THAT IS TOTAL BS," Niko shouted then started signing all of the forms again. "I haven't even had a chance to see that movie yet."</p><p>"Yes Mr Niko but not knowing any better is not our responsiblity."</p><p>Slouching forward Niko shut the door and walked back over to retake his pose in a rather defeated slouching mannor.</p><p>"My ranger sense is....." Niko starts before he is interrupted by the sound of galloping hoofs scheeching to a hault.</p><p>"So on a @#$@#$!@#!," Niok shouts as he unsheaths his sword.</p><p>Then at the same moment he jerked the door open Niko cleaved the gnome in twain.</p><p> "Gunna make my gwarshy poo some Gnome soup," He hummed as he dragged the two halves of the gnome to the kitchen.</p>

<p>     No sooner did the words leave Tainda's mouth, then Gianavur's clockwork whirlygig worker comes zipping downstairs.  Mechanical arms abuzz with movement, the lil robot zips around immediately working on the blood trail, starting at the door and working its way toward the kitchen.  </p><p>     And Tainda stares, as the clicks, beeps, and bzzts sounds utter forth from the busy robot.... </p>

/ooc Shado, DE Fury/carpenter, I saw you guys all having fun and I wanted to play! /end ooc A well dressed but nervous-looking dark elven girl stands outside The Freeport Society's door, her arms full from holding several boxes of chocolate and cases of Mountain Dew. Working around her bulky load, she waddles up to the huge door in front of her. Pausing to take a deep breath to quench her anxiety, Shado then painfully inches closer and uses her elbow to push the doorbell.

<p>Instinctively Niko raised his nose and sniffed the air. Was that hte slight scent of cans of dew.</p><p>"IT IS!!!," Niko shouted as he spun and charged the door blowing over the cleaning bot and accidently kicking tainda out to the side as he went along.</p><p>Not even allowing the door to open all of the way Niko jerks it so hard the door, hinges and all come flying out of the door way and quickly gets tossed over his shoulder the crash and skid through the foyer.</p><p>"DEW!!!," Niko shouts at the top of his lungs as he seizes a case of the golden amber liquid of life, subsequently knocking hte DE over at the same time.</p><p>Like a ravinous beast he tears teh case apart until he gets a can in hand. Then not even bothering to open the can he bite the side out of the can and gizzles the liquid.</p><p>"Ahhh that was good," Niko says with a gin as he knelt at the terrified DE's side sweeping her hand up into his. "I think I'm in love with you."</p><p>"Whaaaaat," Shado stammered utterly terrified as she stared wide eyed up at the moster that had bawled her over and now claimed to be in love with her.</p><p>Out of no where a 2x4 length came out and smacked Tea on teh top of head knocking his out cold.</p><p>"I'm sorry about him," Arienh said as she held a hand out to help shado back to her feet. "He gets liek that sometimes."</p>

Shado takes the hand and offers a weak smile of gratitude as she dusts herself off. "Thanks Arienh. Maybe now with his sugar hit he'll get writing... though the mountain dew <i>was</i> meant for his muse..." she says with a sigh. "Maybe we should move him out of the door way.. ?" gesturing towards Niko's slumped body.

<p> Just then Keala appeared between the two. Having watched the whole exchange she'd formulated a plan.</p><p> "I have a better idea."</p><p> Quickly explaining in whispers all three conspirators agree and set to work.  Within minutes their task is accomplished and they retire inside the imposing edifice.</p><p>Meanwhile outside passersby get a good chuckle at the ranger's expense.</p><p>Trussed up on one of the pillars supporting the building's facade Niko had been dressed and painted like a Beggar's Court working woman. However they'd added a few extra touches. A sign detailing his propensity for Dew theivery and Fae love as well as a sparkly tutu and old bent halo (they'd had to borrow that from SKgnome but she hadn't minded).</p><p>Luckily the trio had had the foresight to repair and then securely bolt the door as well as reinforcing it with gnomish devices and various spells. Hopefully it would take some time for the ranger to wake, realize the situation and try to come after them.  Then again he'd have to figure out exactly whom was responsible first.</p><p><img src="/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

ooc...amethest...dk sk...I am horrible at writing but will give it a try.... amethest astride her somewhat unfaithful mount,rides through town on her way to the society. Her tummy rumbles as she thinks of the home cooked meal and hot bath she will have upon arrival. As she approaches her destination she sees a strange sight...tea strung up in a tutu and a bent halo and is that makeup? Riding up closer to tea she greets him with a ,"hey tea nice tutu. See ya back at the society." Amethest rides away laughing so hard her ribs hurt, wondering who he ticked off this time and admiring their creativity. Maybe if I am lucky I can catch sight of ekuth hee hee. I am his most faithful stalker after all. Handing her mount of to a stable boy she tries to open the door .. hmmmmm she rings the doorbell , sees an eye peek thru the slot ,and after much ado of bolts and chains and whirring gnomish devices the door is opened and amethest inhales the aromas of her home away from home . Smiling she heads upstairs for a nap..

The illusion seems to be working.  For the time being she is safe. </p><p>She consults her map, 2 more blocks and she will be at the society. Rosepetals hasn't been to this part of Freeport before, it's acually quite lovely if you can get past the lack of light and smell from the street trolls.</p><p>Glancing up from her map she stopps in her tracks. She see's a figure in a pink tutu fastened to a pillar just outside of her intended location. Trying not to draw attention to herself, she pretends to be studying the map. Again as she peers around looking for guards. Could this be how the locals punish thieves? Not seeing any guards set up she slowly starts toward the address of the society.</p><p>The corners of her mouth starts to curl upward as she gets closer and the figure becomes clearer. She recognises the person strapped to the pillar.  It's not a "working woman" as she had originally thought but her old friend Niko dressed in that tutu and painted like a common street walker.</p><p>Fighting the fit of giggles threatening to erupt she stands looking at the pittiful sight. "And just who did you [Removed for Content] off this time Niko?" </p><p>At once Niko recognises the voice. "Rose?!" he says in a loud wisper, still not sure it is his old friend under the illusion. </p><p>"Yes it's me." No longer able to contain her laughter she is unable to speak for a time as tears roll down her face.</p><p>Niko just stares at her blankly, his irratation with her amusment of his situation evadent. "you done yet?" he asks as her laughing subsides some. </p><p>Through fits of giggles she wipes her eyes. "yes, yes. I'm so sorry. Pink really is your color you know" </p><p>"Ya, right" he snears through a sarcastic smile. "Would you untie me already woman!"</p><p>Another fit of laughter hits her as she starts to untie Niko. "i have no idea what it is you did to have this done to you but i can't wait to hear the story!"</p>

<p>Minutes earlier... the gore splattered Koada' Dal stepped back into his doorway to avoid the air elemental spinning towards him at a high rate of speed.

The anatomist could only hypothesize that the small bezerker could convert its food directly to energy, resulting in the abnormal speed and emaciated body-type...</p><p>"MR.

We got them when we went to ‘Dizzyland,' but Mommy uses them when SKGnome and I ‘need to go outside and play.'

A huge smile crossed his face and he started to turn back to his lab, but stopped when he felt a pat on his leg. Looking down at the Halfling, he pulled the ear away from his head and heard the boy...</p><p>"Mom says this if for the Good Evil Queen.

Shado peeks out from under the rug she was hiding and deciding that the coast was clear sets off to find Niko again, she suspected he was in the writing room, because she heard the door slam in there. She wanted a hug. Quiet as she can be, (and thats pretty quiet) she tiptoes into the writing room. One hand holding one of the few mountain dew cans that weren't senselessly destroyed by Niko. planting herself on the side of the desk, she begins to whine. "Can i have a hug? Pleeeease? You didn't give me one before!" she huffs " AND i gave you mountain dew." she adds, staring pointedly at Niko, who hadn't moved an inch since she sat down. "No." He said, rather unfeelingly. "Why not?!" she yells, knowing full well it would have been heard and echoed through the stone hallways of the Society. "Because.... I'm grumpy." he states, as if it is an adequate answer. "Fine." and she opens the concealed mountain dew and listens with a smirk to the hiss of bubbles escaping from the can. After drinking in front of him and watching his tortured and horrified expression with gross satisfaction, she flounces out of the room, evil schemes a bubbling.

<p>Rose leaned with her back against the wall listening to Niko ramble on about what ever raid loot he had picked up on the last few days. He stood with his face less then a foot away from hers and his palm planted on the wall next to her face.</p><p>Niko was attempting to be suave and flirting up a storm again. The two of them had an interesting relationship where either they'd fight like a pair of siblings or flirt nonstop. All except today where she had no interest in flirting or fighting with him. It'd been awhile since he'd posted on either of his storylines and she'd been gently prodding him into writing another segment.</p><p>Even as he rambled along quoting what her thoughts was the perfect group and how he'd been topping the parse Rose kept trying to get a word in here and there asking about what was next to come in the story. She'd known him well enough that if she could just get him talking about one of the story lines for a few minutes that his muse would burst out of the closet and drag him over to his writing desk. Yet today the man seemed to dense to even notice that her attention had wavered let alone pick up on any of her hints that he could work on one of the stories.</p><p>Rose continued to add a few one line responses every now and again when Niko stopped. Just little canned quips so that he'd think that she was actually listening. A little ‘uh huh,' ‘that's interesting,' ‘Oh I see,' and other such lines as she watched the chaos the reigned across the room.</p><p>Baak had to launch himself over one of the couches to escape the rain of clay pellets that were pelting him and making quite a mess at the same time. Tracing the line of fire she caught sight of a manically laughing Zergling pelting Baak and the slightly smaller female one joining in. </p><p>To her, it seemed like the male Zergling had convinced the smaller one to join into the fray. Juggling a good evil princess brand mylittle Pegasus, the clay pellet shooting device and adjusting a pink tutu all at the same time Rose wondered how the SKgnome managed to pull the little endeavor.</p><p>"Huh," Rose stammered when she noticed the Niko has been quiet for a few moments.</p><p>"I said, you're not even listening are you?," Niko responded with a smirk.</p><p>"Sorry I was just a little distr..." Rose started to reply when Tainda smacked Niko over the head with a rather large mace.</p><p>"God he's annoying sometimes," Tainda said with a smile as all Rose could do was to stand there and blink. "Just like all men sometimes you gotta whack ‘em over the head to knock some sense back into them."</p><p>"Yes but you really shouldn't knock him unconscious," Amethest added as she strolled over to Rose and Tainda.</p><p>"He's not dead is he?," Rose asked looking down at the unconscious Niko.</p><p>"Nah takes more then that," Tainda grinned. "Niko's good for taking a beating. One time I even threw him off of the top of the floating citadel and he lived."</p><p>"Yes Tainda but he kept drooling and wetting himself on the carpet for a week after that," Amethest scolded.</p><p>"That won't happen again will it," Rose asked with wide eyes as she looked down to see if Niko had received brain damage again. Still trying to pretend that he was unconscious, Rose could clearly see, Niko peaking up Amethest's and her own dresses; before closing his eye and pretending to be knocked out.</p><p>"Oh you little pervert!" Rose exclaimed as she started kicking Niko. "I cannot believe I was actually feeling bad for you."</p><p>"I told you!" Tainds giggled as she started chasing Niko around the room with her oversized mace.</p>

(And yes I can too still walk on silts...proved it last week showing off/demonstrating for the 5-6th grades at my church's VBS...even managed to jump with them...about 1/2" to 1 1/2"....which according to MTFL "is about your normal vertical, right?&quot<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>"So, Tai, do you think the Good Evil Queen might pass us the name and /loc of the scribe she forced Ekuth to visit? I'd be happy to send groupie mail to them, begging them to please hire this guy. After all, if he gets published, then the Good Evil Queen will want a brand new wing built on the Society, then we can take over the old suite, well you topsiders can, The gnomelings & I will expand the tunnels under...didn't want to disturb Ekuth's writting w/ the excavation noises & alchemical fumes...."</p><p>Taindia wonders if she can go check w/ the Good Evil Queen right away, of if she should stay for the end of Valk's sentence...how ever LONG that might be.</p>

<p>ever so slowly a sense of realization washes over Niko. With Ekuthh attending the academy again to learn about getting published tht means that he'll have less time to the wirte. But then as niko starts to feel a little down he realises the second implication. With the possibility of a profit being made from Ekuthh's writtings that means that the good evil queen should be keeping the zerglings away from Ekuthh Thus granting HIM MORE TO TO WRITE.</p><p>"OH MY <a href="mailto:#@$%@#$%#$^&@$#$" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">#@$%@#$%#$^&@$#$%</a>! GOD!!!!," Niko exclaims as he jumps to his feet and shouts at the top of his lungs.</p><p>"we know," tainda responds in a monotone.</p><p>"THAT IS SO @#$%@#$% AWESOME!!!!!" Niko continues to scream as he strikes a rocky eck pose</p><p>"Shutup!" tainda orders as she brandishes her mace.</p><p>"IT IS LIKE @#$%@#$ I CAN BARELY CONTAIN MYSELF!!!"</p><p>Thunk.</p><p>Niko falls over unconcious after getting wacked over the head</p><p>"I warned him."</p>

<p>As Niko lies on the floor and tries to catch his breath from from Tainda's assault, he hears a weird dragging, clumping and high-pitched squeeling noise at the door behind him. Painfully he rolls over, so he can see what monstrosity could make that sound...</p><p>The three-headed creature turns a baleful eye on him (with the oldest looking head), "You fix this one yourself... I was trying to invent a 'thread glue,' but they," indicating other portions of it's misshapen anatomy, "got playing with the resin and the hardner and started shooting it at each other and I got stuck trying to stop them."</p><p>"I'm going back to the catacombs and try to find some solvent that will remove this stuff without making us pass out... or explode...." With that, the Gnomelf moves out of the doorway, creating a loud racket as she attempts to walk, still on stilts, with a tutu-wearing Droag child attached to her left hip and wrapped around her leg/stilt and a small humanoid, that might be hanging upside down, from her back, except is vibrating too fast to really be observed.</p><p>"Just you two wait till MTFL gets home from Qeynos!!!"</p>

<p>Keala finds the room assigned to her.  It's spartan, but functional which suits her perfectly.  She makes her way to the bed and hears a loud thud from below.  Figuring it to be Niko's body hitting the floor once again she removes her armor and snuggles in under the nice clean blanket and sheets which seem to be slightly scented with lilac.</p><p>"Well, at least it'll be quiet enough for a bit of a nap now." she thinks to herself and drifts off to sleep with a satisfied smile.</p>

<p>On the door that leads into the kitchen a halfway crooked sign sways back and forth after a minor explosion from within. Awaken from her nap earlier, Kaela and Tainda both hover just outside the door. One of the Zerglings had quoted seeing Niko hand the no entry sign and locked himself within the kitchen. In fact it seemed like to just about everyone was huddled outside of the door with the two fae at the front.</p><p>Fluttering the two fae wondered what Niko was up to when there was another explosion followed by a string of curses. Almost as worthy of note was that fact that there was a lock on the door to the kitchen. The presence of the lock was just as odd as Niko blowing things up in the kitchen. Well maybe not the blowing things up part, but definitely the part where he was in the kitchen doing anything more complicated the browning some hamburger or fixing a sandwich.</p><p>Following the last explosion there was no string of curses. Only a dead silence that was starting to lead the two fae into believing that Niko had managed to blow himself up or in the least knock himself unconscious.</p><p>As a worried expression spread across Shado's face and she started to walk towards only to have the thrown open with a triumphant looking Niko behind it.</p><p>"Happy Women's Equality Day!" Niko shouts as he carries the three tiered cake over to the table. He muttered something else as he was walking along. The exact words were difficult to understand but the crux was apparent to those straining to listen; apparently Valk had ‘modernized' the kitchen.</p><p>Confused by Niko's sexist rhetoric follow by him celebrating an obscure pro women's holiday she poked her head into the kitchen. The place was a wreck. Even though Niko had baked a cake he hadn't even bothered to place the dirty dishes in the sink let along rise any of them. Surprisingly as well there were no poisons sitting out or any empty bottles in the garbage can.</p><p>Still scratching her head Rose stepped back into the main room to have Gian hand her a slice of the cake.</p><p>"Believe it or Niko but he's not a half bad cook," Gian said with a smile.</p><p>"Are you sure he didn't do anything ‘funny' to the cake?," Rose questioned.</p><p>"Tainda took care of that," Gian said with a grin as she turned to the side allowing Rose to see Niko tied to a chair in the background. "She tied him to the chair and force fed him half the cake just to make sure that there was nothing wrong mixed in there."</p><p>"Oh," Rose remarked as her eyebrows arched. </p><p>"Maybe we should find him some antacid," Shado commented as she daintily picked at her piece of cake and took note of Niko's swollen belly. </p><p>Out of the 15 pounds of cake that stood three tiers high, Niko had eaten (or been fed) enough to distort his belly like a Chinese hotdog eating champion.</p><p>"What happened to him?," Rose asked as she picked at the exquisite delicacy that Niko had prepared and nudged a comatose Baak.</p>

<p>OOC/ was going to post something about a gnomish haz-mat response team having to clean up the kitchen, but....</p><p>I actually discovered a chemical leak (an older, slightly nasty form of paint) in one of our flamable storage lockers. </p><p>Since I am real new to the Safety/HazMat team (and kinda new to the company) at work, it was going to be a hard sell getting the company to buy some of the safety equipment we should have, but I think my credibility just went up quite a bit today, so I'm gonna be working that issue pretty hard now....use the "charisma buff' while I can. Unfortunately that means, I'm thinking about where, why, how, how long, etc on chemicals that are 'mildly disorganized' at best, and sometimes in a pretty ugly version of Genglish (German/English). </p><p>Hopefully, I won't drop too far off the RADAR here, but we all know RL can be a total PK sometimes.</p>

<p>lounging on the couch Niko continues to thumb through the latest chapter of 'a pocket full of greed.' On the ground about him lay the other new edditions of hafling's tale, Path of redemption, tales of norrath, a druids story and Kinslayers. At the base of the pile lied the sisters and rydian chronicals. Untouched since no new chapters had been out in awhile but still not forgoten.</p><p>Even though he had barely gotten started on the next set of new chapters and reciently started rereading Path of Redemption, he still peeked at the mail slot. Not matter how much there was for him to go over he still ever hungered for more. </p><p>Finishing the current chapter Niko places the 'pocket full of greed' on top of the pile. Then reaching down niko instictively picked up a dishelved copy of Kinslayers. Wringled, folded at odd angles and worn from repeated readings Niko placed it to the side. There wasn't time to rereading an old chapter he'd already been through twice already. He had other things more important to do.</p><p>Quickly scooping up his not pad with the cross overs listed he thumbed through. With his inner gial of eventually linking all of the tales same as the shattering, kinslayers, darkhanded, sisters and rydian chronicals had already been.</p><p>"Hmmmm," Niko pondered. "NO no, I should wait for someone to PM me. There's no need to fret over making any more connections at this point."</p><p>Niko Turned his had to face his muse chained to the wall. She'd get out eventualy and he knew it. That or only of the Beauties would release her to torment him. But for the mean time she was offering nothing productive only tormenting him for the sake of it and not finishing the current scene.</p><p>"And you shut up," Niko told his muse. "I've had enough of you for now and until you're bloodlust is sadated or you offer me something helpful you're gunna stay there."</p><p>Instead of offering him one of those sultry soft whispers that she normally did his muse only smiled sweetly. Well a smile as sweet as a crocodile could manage Niko surmised. She looked like a venomous snake sweetly smiling. Sure she looked innocent enough but he knew the truth of the matter.</p><p>Turning away from her, after peeking at the mail slot once more, Niko picked back up the path of redemption. Then finding the place where he had stopped Niko started reading once again.</p>

He understood that school was starting up so the younger lurkers/authors would be busy with as well as the mommy/daddy lurker/authors who had children that age. Still, even though he understood the reasoning that not so many peeps were around didn't lift his spirits any.</p><p>Dropping the freshly written chapter for the rending onto the floor near his desk Nikos offered his muse a cautious smile. She didn't care if his work was shared or not jsut that it was written. Granted his muse, same as Niko himself, reviled in teh praise over a new eddition. But to have it written was enough to sedate the muse for now.</p><p>He'd have suspected that Keala or one of the other beauties had been responsiable for releasing his muse. All except he knew in the back of his mind she'd have escaped anyway. So leaving the papers discarded on his desk he'd jsut hold them there until someone came along. </p><p>Sighing again deeply he headed for the kitchen. subconciously rubbing his belly Niko pushed the door open only to here the wiz and whirl of some contraption.</p><p>SLAM! The oversized steel cage crashed around him.</p><p>"What the @#Q$@," Niko cursed as he realised that the people may be scarse but the traps left behind to hinder him from leaving the writting desk sure weren't. </p><p>"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"</p>

Her daughter, Loriana (Nickname Lori) a fourteen year old girl who grew up in Qeynos but has lately spent all her time with her wanderer mother."This was where I spent most of my time out a long while ago," the azure-eyed half elf told the smaller female half-elf standing at her side. "Before Niko, Ekuth, Valkry, and many others gathered together, this place was a crime-lord's den. Mine, actually."   "So, Mom, are we going to go in? It doesn't even look like anyone's here." The teenage half-elf looked over the battered four story building dubiously. Shutters swung in and out, slapping the sides of the building in a slight breeze. Many doors hung crookedly on their hinges, and a couple of pink tutus were still tied to various poles around the place."We might as well, maybe one of the bunch is still here enjoying the abandoned, dank old dungeon surroundings in preparation of new ramblings and writing."The two half-elf females walk up to the door and go in.

<p>"It is done!" Niko shouted at the top of his lugs upon finishing his latest post.</p><p>"Nevermind him," El said to her daughter. "Niko can be rather odd at times."</p><p>"It's done it's done it's done it's done!"Niko continued to shout as he ran around the dusty writting area. "I'm no longer a second rate has been former writter. I can still do it!"</p>

<p>The building had definitely seen better times. Some of the windows had been boarded up at some point only to have the boards removed by someone.  It looked less imposing than it had the first time she'd seen it.  Gently opening the door she let her eyes adjust to the darkness that greeted her. Though it was a sunny day it seemed that light wasn't able to penetrate the interior of the structure.  It smelled of dust and a bit of mold.</p><p>She moved carefully and quietly through the rooms. It seemed that someone had been here somewhat recently but was gone now. She made her way upstairs to her old room. Dumping the heavy bags laden with ill gotten loot from her travels across Kunark she fell onto the dusty bed. She was so tired. Scenes from her adventures played themselves out across her closed eyelids. She fell asleep to dreams of dragons, drakes, drachnids and drovlargs.  </p><p>She awoke in a sweat sometime later. She'd been dreaming about lava.  She shivered just a little. Her foray into Veeshan's Peak had been an exciting one. There she had seen some of the oddest sights  like dreaming dragons and drakes that mate with bees. She was glad to be back at the Society, even though it was empty. Sitting up she spied a pair of eyes looking at her from the end of the bed. It was the burynai she'd brought back as a pet. </p><p>She moved over to her bags and got some food for him. In gratitude he gave her some trinkets he'd found.  Helpful little fellow he was. She made her way through the house again this time finding some writings on Niko's desk.  She began to read through them.  </p><p>"Took him long enough." Keala mumbled. </p>

<p>Stepping out of his room upstairs with a steaming cup of coffee and bloodshot eyes fresh off a griffon (plane) from some far off land (Japan), Niko made his way down to the writing room. Since he was ‘bird loin crossbreed griffon-lagged' (jetlagged) and not able to sleep anyway he  figured that he might as well work on the next edition of the Rending.</p><p>Offering Shado a brief smile for her work in cleaning up the writing area since it was looking like Niko was back to writing if not the rest of the old crew. Niko stepped back into the writing area with a surprised look on his face to see Kyrrah reading his latest rendition.</p><p>"Oh," Niko exclaimed through a half smile. "I thought that my reader base had all moved on since there were no posts on the thread since my last post."</p><p>Kyrrah only frowned, amid poutily, in response.</p><p>"Yeah well since my old group of ‘send feedback via email' still sends in PMs/email to let know they're still reading." Niko paused a little haughtily to emphasize his hint. "I figured that no one else was reading since there was no posts on the thread."</p><p>Finishing the last page of Niko's latest post Kyrrah let her frown deepen. </p><p>"You know Yeenya is right," Kyrrah paused to mock Niko's earlier pause making a silly face and bobbing her head side to side. "You can be a real Ce'pa at times."</p><p>Frowning with a confused look in his eyes Niko turned to Shado.</p><p>"Really?"</p><p>Still smiling in her cheerful self Shado nodded that yes Niko could be a class A jerk at times.</p><p>"Humph," Niko pouted as he retook his seat at the writing desk. "I never thought so... Oh wait, no, never mind. I remember, I'm just a little bird loin crossbreed griffon-lagged."</p>

<p>Pouting Niko wanders out of the writting room and plops down on a dusty couch. Crossing his arms and frowning he lights the candle and replaces the near transparent painted rice paper in the small box Valk had invented to cascade an image onto the wall and run a show for him. Well run a show as fast as he changed the frames.</p>

"Y'know," Keala said flopping onto the couch "some of us have other things to do. Not all of us can laze about waiting for new writings.  Why since I returned from Kunark I decided I needed to know more about the world so I found myself a scholar to teach me.  He's a rather mean spirited gnome, but he really knows a lot. And then there's this poor confused ratonga I ran into the other day.  She needs so much help it's pathetic. No way she'd ever be a really good coercer so I told her she'd be better off in Qeynos with all the goodies and she hurried on over there lickity split. "After a moment's silence Keala continued. "Well as much as I'd love to stay and mope about I've got stuff to do. I'll check back as soon as I can."She made her way for the door only to stop short."Oh that reminds me, I picked up a little something for you while I was gone."Moving back to the table that was placed next to the couch she procured a small wrapped bundle.  She removed the soft pink cloth to reveal a tiny figure she placed gently onto the table near Niko and then left.Looking over from his moving pictures Niko discovered a miniature green goblin staring at him.

<p>Placing the mean spirited looking goblin on the corner of his writting desk niko sets to updating and adding the new material to the message board (<a href="www.sweetindustries.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Shattering website</u></a>). He'd gotten lazy over the past several posts distributing the latest posts but not updating the message board. With everything set and his spirits uplifted by the promise of a kinslayer's post Niko takes a seat at the writting desk.</p><p>After cracking open a fresh can of dew he adjusts the way that he is sitting so that his muse can take her perch sitting on his knee. It no longer exciting him as she'd sit there nuzzling his neck, scraching his chest with her nails and whispering the words into his ear. But it was her method and who was he to argue with his muse. He'd already learned what argueing with her earned him.</p><p>As the sadistic witch (his muse) cut at the flesh of his chest with her talons and whispered the words that he needed to write the next set of paragraphs  Niko quickly grabbed another sheet of parchment. This was not what he'd expected from her. Maybe the promise of kinslayers had sated her need for blood at the current moment so the whispers, thoughts and words flowed onto the page.</p><p>"Oh I see, your blood lust is not sedated," Niko spoke aloud to himself. "You're just getting through this part."</p>

<p>"[Removed for Content] it woman no!," Niko shouted at his muse. "I don't wanna write anymore I wanna reread Ekuthh's post for the third time then go to bed not write another post."</p><p>Cracking her whip to next to Niko's leg his muse then steps in to whisper into his ear.</p><p>"I said no! [Removed for Content] it No mean NO!"</p><p>This time his muse's whip wtruck him across the calf and shin.</p><p>"Ouch! That fracking hurts," Niko shouted as he picked up his quill again. "But I'm not going to finish the post it is way to late and I have to get up in a few hours to go to work."</p><p>Smiling her sadisticly sweet smile his muse stepped in and whispered in his ear again</p><p>"Fracking women," Teaeran growled as he started back in where he left off.</p>

<p>"It is not me man it's her," Niko explained point to the empty air over his knee that was extended in a mannor as if someone was perched there instead of the empty space that Ekuthh could see.</p><p>"She really is a sadistic [Removed for Content] I tell you."</p>

<p>(ooc: because i ddin't want to tie down the kinslayers with my sillyness)</p><p>Tea stood in front of the mirror adjusting his hair. Over the past year the mullet that Ekuthh had accidentally cut for him with a scythe had filled in and even the fact that it had previously existed. Whether or not it was visible bore on Teaeran's mind because there was a certain probability to have it repeated as he considered his current course of action.</p><p>Woof woof bark</p><p>"No Cody," Teaeran told his wolf hybrid puppy. "I don't think that he'll try and cut my hair again."</p><p>Grrrrrrrr woof woof</p><p>"What do you mean you think this is a bad idea?"</p><p>Bark yip bark</p><p>"Well Ekuthh hasn't trimmed the hedges in awhile. I mean that's basically the same thing as sending me an invitation in the mail to come and see that he's been working on for Kinslayers."</p><p>Grrrrrrrrrrr</p><p>"Oh don't be like that. Valk's kids wont be around to attack you with the colored markers again."</p><p>Yip yip bark</p><p>"Okay okay I'm sorry I promised not the bring that up again. I know it's a touchy subject still.... I'm sorry."</p><p>Bark!</p><p>"What do you mean you're not coming along because Ekuthh is going to make me sorry?"</p><p>Bark woof grrrr</p><p>"I seriously doubt that he's somehow going to cut the hedges again the very moment that I'm hiding there and redo my haircut again."</p><p>Grrr </p><p>"Hey not that's not even funny. Besides what makes you think that Ekuthh will understand you if you call?"</p><p>grrrr</p><p>"Yeah well I doubt it. And on a side no more calling that "[Removed for Content] in heat" toll number. The phone bill was like 600$ last month."</p><p>Bark Bark Yip</p><p>"Okay okay fine. But limit that call to 15 minutes and you had better not tell anyone about that there."</p><p>Bark woof</p><p>"I said cool it Cody, that's suppose to be our little secret."</p><p>Grrrrr bark woof</p><p>"Fine. Well I'm leaving so don't bother staying up to wait on me. Dinner is in rotisserie so just knock it off the counter and enjoin the roast like you did last week."</p><p>After Teaeran leaves the house Cody knocks the gnomish communication device off the wall hook and bangs on the keypad with his paws a few times until he is connected to the right person on the other end of the line.</p><p>Woof Bark Bark</p><p>"Oh really," says an amused sinister sounding Koada'Dal voice.</p>

Ekuthh
04-15-2008, 12:40 PM
<p>"Thank you, Cody.  You'll find your payment at the usual drop."</p><p>The Koad'dal listens to the barking for a moment more.</p><p>"True, but if he chooses to ignore that fact, are we to blame?"</p><p>Ekuth nods as he listens.</p><p>"Too true.  Again, my thanks."</p><p>Chuckling, the silver haired high elf sets down the gnomish communication device and moves to his window.  Sipping on his tea, he presses a few buttons on the control panel hidden in a recess of the window sill.</p><p>From the perimeter of his yard, there are a series of metallic clicks, followed an ominous humming sound.</p><p>Nibbling on a cheese biscuit, the Koad'dal settles himself to wait.</p><p>"This should be entertaining."</p>

<p>Decked out in Ranger UCUs (Urban Combat Uniform, okay yeah so they're normal clothes but deciding that they were meant to blend into crowds, Tea had decided the name them his UCUs anyway) Tea dropped over the side of the writer's compound wall to land a few house lots away from Ekuthh's. </p><p>Granted the denizens of the FSBE all held residences in the same compound and he could have as easily just walked down the street from his house but it lacked a certain flair that dropping off the wall added to his subterfuge.</p><p>Shaking his ankle back and forth furiously to nub the pain from twisting it from the drop he did his best to stay quiet. A twisted ankle was little to pay for how cool it was to move around like this.</p><p>With his skill at moving undetected he used some of the local minerals to camouflage his face and hair.</p><p>"What was that," one of the other guards said to the other as they watched Tea rather get his shoe stuck between two rocks at the peak of the wall. Then windmill his arms around to try and regain his balance before rather unceremoniously falling off the wall to land face first into a mud puddle.</p><p>"Oh that's Tea, he's nothing to worry about."</p><p>"Yeah but he's headed to Ekuthh's house. I mean you'd have to be an idiot not to see all the construction that he has had done around his house over the past year."</p><p>"Yeah well maybe you should call a cleric to come on down here. I have a feeling the Tea is going to need one.""</p><p>Couching low and using the foliage to his advantage Tea moved through the surrounding lawns headed for Ekuthh's house.</p>
