Scion: Road to Asgard OOC

[LeannaDark]

Hey everyone! Here's the OOC thread for Scion RP. I'm pressed for time right now (and by pressed for time I mean, "Haven't slept for 42 hours") so I'm not going to get too long winded. Besides, I'd rather you ask questions than have me throw out information that may or may not be pertinent. Feel free to ask, request, or suggest anything in here, that's what its for.

As of right now, I have three players. They are:

1. Armphid - Dr. Colin O'Donnell, Scion of the Dagda (Tuatha de Danaan)
2. HookerBoots - Amara Jagadeesha, Scion of Sarasvati (The Devas)
3. Liliannasidhe - Kekita Kiyomi, Scion of Izanami (The Amatsukami)

If you've found your way in here and want to play, I can accommodate as many people as want to join. PM me or post here, and we'll get you going.

For now, introduce yourselves if you don't already know one another, ask questions, request this that or the other thing, talk about sexual preferences, tell me what you want to see, what you don't mind seeing, what you would rather avoid, and what I absolutely should not involve your character in. While this is primarily a set of sexual preferences and such, feel free to say things like, "High-speed car chases with gunfights" or anything else mundane you can think of. Welcome to Scion, and happy posting!
-Leanna

 

[Armphid]

Hi everybody!

(Hi, Dr. Nick!)

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Some of you know me already but it's always good to be polite and introduce yourself. The SN is Armphid, and Arm seems to be the most common nickname there, but I'm pretty flexible with what you call me. Doubly so in any sex scenes that get written.

You'll note that I make bad jokes. A lot. Sorry about that.

Anyway. I've been writing on here for several years and I've been playing RPGs for more years than that. I've played a lot of White Wolf games and picked up Scion as soon as the line hit. I'm a fan. I've played in a mid-length campaign that unfortunately petered out due to the group breaking up with our characters starting the quest that would lead to demigod-hood (if we survived, of course) and I've run two campaigns as well, each about a year or a little more in length. But I'm not a back seat GM or anything; when I'm a player, I play.

When Scion first hit and I read through it, the sexual possibilities and situations that you could have in it kind of leaped off of the page. There's so much potential! So I'm really very excited about this.

As far as sexual preferences and such goes; I like to think I'm incredibly open. But I'm always frustrated when people say that, since it doesn't actually tell you anything. So here's a bit more detail. (Am I writing too much? You can and should always feel free to tell me I'm writing too much. I can really go on a tear when I'm excited).

I'm a bisexual male in RL and as a result, I find hetero, lesbian, and gay scenes (and mixes) all very enjoyable. There's no gender combination I have problems with; it's all good. Very good, hopefully.

I have a number of kinks and interests that are all things that could occur in the thread. Nothing is necessarily a "must have" though since I want to work with everyone and I know everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Things that are a definite plus in my book: threesomes, orgies (4+ participants), bondage, dirty talk, prostitution (sex in return for something, think Freya and her necklace and chariot for example), domination (particularly femdom), strap-ons, futanari (may not fit but it's a thing I'm into), incest, oral, anal, vaginal, monsters/beasts, toys, lots of cum, transformations, and spanking. There may be more but that's a good start.

Some things that I like but that aren't driving kinks would be things like furries/anthro, coercion, and non-consent (one on one or group). I should note that non-consent is something I'm still somewhat unsure about but my girlfriend has been working on making my comfortable with it as a kink in erotic fiction and such. I'm at the point where I would have no problem having it in a thread or even having it happen to my character as part of the "growth" process. Not sure that's the right word, but there you go. I've also found a recent interest in erotic stuff that features the risk of pregnancy or pregnancy themes but that's still pretty minor.

Things I'm not about are pretty easy compared to everything else. For me, it's far easier to say the things I'm not into than the many that I am or don't mind. Scat and water sports are right our for me; just gross. Snuff is too dark for me; so is extremely brutal non-consent or bondage/torture. Blood is something I can see in scenes depending on what's going on but I find blood drinking or lots of gore a turn-off. A little lick to a cut or wound can be hot but beyond that it just kills it for me. Small list compared to the pros, right?

So, I've gone on for waaaay too long and I apologize. But I hope some of this is helpful to getting us going. I'm very glad to be here and eager to see what we all create and enjoy together!

 

[HookerBoots]

*waves* Hello, Cleveland!

. . . I'm going to resist making the Family Guy. See how I resisted that, Arm? See?

I'm HookerBoots. You can call Hook, or Boots, or . . . I dunno, pretty much whatever you like. I'm easy (and I can prove it! *rimshot*). I've been here for a few years *points to sidebar* as you might be able to tell. I am a nascent RPG-er, thanks in no small part of Armphid (hint: I'm the girlfriend he mentions) and my first game ever played/GM'd was Scion, so I'm fairly comfortable with the system. As such, no worries about my trying to take the reigns - I'd have no idea what to do with them if I had them, lol.

I'm a bisexual female IRL (*waits for the menfolk to hear that and flood inbox with "hay, u syber?" messages*), and dating a bisexual male. As far as gender combos go, I'm down with it all.

As far as things that I'm seriously into . . . I'mma cut and paste up in here: threesomes, orgies (4+ participants), bondage, non-consent, dirty talk, prostitution (sex in return for something, think Freya and her necklace and chariot for example), domination (either side on top), strap-ons, futanari (may not fit but it's a thing I'm into), incest, oral, anal, vaginal, monsters/beasts, toys, and spanking.

Things I dislike: Poo, blood, urine, death, necrophilia (though vampires are a special case). Dismemberment, serious cutting, suicide . . . can you tell I've read way too many bad fanfics?

Things I'm okay with, but not all up in: Everything else. Yes, everything. Seriously.

But as I'm also in a time crunch - not in the "haven't slept in 42 hours" sense, but in the "have to leave for work in half an hour" sense. So I'm going to stop here, and probably toss up my profile when I get home. After I get home and eat dinner, that is.

 

[Jagged]

I know the game and I played it a few times. Do you have the information on the Gods so I can choose my parent?

 

[HookerBoots]

Jagged: http://wiki.white-wolf.com/whitewolf/index.php?title=Character_Creation_(Scion)

The pantheons we're using (unless Leanna says different) are the Aesir, the Aztalanti, the Dodekatheon, the Amatsukami, the Loa, the Pesedjet, the Celestial Bureaucracy, the Tuatha de Dannan, and the Devas.

I'll also add that wikipedia is very helpful if you want a more general overview of a particular deity, like colors associated with them.

Amara was raised by a single father in London’s Camden borough, sent to a private school until college. She went abroad her last year in university to New York City, and fell in love with the place. Shortly after her return to London, her mother paid her a visit. Sarasvati was by far the loveliest woman Amara had ever seen, and the girl was quite humbled by the fact of her divine parentage.

Sarasvati, dressed in white and carrying a lotus in one hand, smiled upon her daughter and told Amara that she was proud of her. As gifts, the goddess gave her a crystal mala (a rosary used in meditation) and a yellowed, ancient-seeming copy of the Yajurveda, telling her that the gifts were more than they seemed, and giving her information on how to use them.

After a few days to get used to her new powers – and flooding the house at least three times – Amara bought a one-way ticket to America, telling her father that there were more things she could do, and be more free, there. Her plane landed in JFK, and she quickly found work with her degree, working as a ghost writer for novels and memoirs with a publishing firm.

The work and the pay were good, but for some reason, Amara wasn’t feeling satisfied. She tried a few art classes, as well as several courses at a local university. But they weren’t what she was looking for either. Until one night, she found herself drawn to a local gentlemen’s club’s amateur night.

Without even thinking, she signed up and danced. She won the competition handily, and was offered a position by the owner working there. Within six months, she was making more money at her night job than she was as a writer, but was happy to keep doing them both, feeling complete with her writing and dancing.

Because of this, Amara has a sharp intellect and a very well-toned, flexible body. She has long black hair (which she often covers with wigs for shows), high, firm breasts, and bright blue eyes. She tends to waver between sweet and sassy, and usually wears the crystal mala as a necklace or looped around one wrist as a bracelet.

Colin’s early life consisted of living poor with a single mother who tried to care for her child while working and going to school to improve her life. His mother’s advisor came to care for the woman as the child he never had and was able to convince her to move in with him, bringing Colin along. As a result, Colin got a first class education though it may have been more from his home life than from school. Becoming impressed with the idea of the Renaissance Man (a topic his adopted grandfather often lectured on at meals), he also tried to keep up training his body as well as his mind.

Pursuing learning, Colin ended up becoming a professor himself, much like his adopted grandfather and began a career teaching linguistics and researching language at Empire State University in New York City. In addition to his academic duties and labor to become tenured; Colin runs to keep in shape and also works out as a member of several athletic clubs.

A few months ago, Colin returned to visit his mother and grandfather only to find they had a house guest. The guest was Colin’s father; who almost immediately revealed himself to the learned man as The Dagda, Chief of the Tautha de Danann. The god expressed some skepticism about Colin’s life choices but stating that “the last one o’ mine as was a page turner worked out all ri’, I’ll give ya a shot.” He gave Colin a torc of polished copper that was decorated with knotwork, the ends shaped like stylized boar’s heads. He also gave him a horn made from the tusk of a gigantic boar that once terrorized the countryside; blowing it would summon one of The Dagda’s boars to fight alongside Colin (The young academic has dubbed the beast “War Pig”).

Since then, Colin has accepted his Fate as a Scion gracefully, even eagerly. He is intensely curious about others like himself (he has yet to meet any) and is looking forward to living a life he could never have imagined…all while trying to keep up with the courses he’s teaching and keeping published. Tenure won’t earn itself, after all.

Colin is tall and strong of build; with broad shoulders and powerful limbs without being stout. He’s handsome without being pretty and has an air of intellect without ego about him. He has auburn hair that falls to the nape of his neck; clean and straight. He has keen and cunning green eyes and full lips that smile easily. He tends to dress in casual business attire most of the time; favoring button down shirts and slacks. He doesn’t wear dress shoes as a rule however, preferring hiking/walking shoes or boots instead. He wears the boar’s head torc around his neck at all times and keeps the horn he was given in the over the shoulder satchel that serves as his briefcase.

 

[LeannaDark]

Well, I suppose I should give you all some information about me, since I'm Jenny-Come-Lately. First off...

The inmates are running the asylum. I'm a longtime nerd and role-player, and I have played Scion a LOT. Other games include Dark Heresy, Shadowrun, 7th Sea, and L5R. I've been on Literotica for a long time, but this ID has never been used before. I created it to do something that never happened, and it just sort of...sat there. Those of you familiar with the International Military Academy Thread, or the Daemour Castle thread have seen me around, as well as our missing player. Liliannasidhe is Valia's sister, and I'm Lily's ex-girlfriend-turned-friend and partner in crime .

IRL I'm a student, a bisexual female (see hook's post about males at this point) a stripper, and a writer of short stories. Hook, your character concept tickled me to death when I read it. Arm, Boots, our tastes are remarkably similar, so I won't bother pasting what I am and am not into. Assume our list are effectively one and the same. Non-con is a fun kink for an ARPG (some times, bad things have to happen to good characters, and I dont want that bad thing to be death.) I seem to be more ok with it than Arm, for example, so if I start to go too far for comfort IC, PM me and stop me. I want this to be fun for everybody. I should warn you, I like to play as much as I like to run, so there will be a couple of recurring NPCs so that I can keep my hand in. Not story drivers or anything, they're really more shades of characters I've run before.

Two last things before I go drag Lily in here to post.

1. Jagged, welcome to the group. Wikipedia is the best resource for the short version on a god, and if you want more information or want to make a character and dont have the rules, PM me, and we'll work it out together.

2. This is an unpleasant subject but I need to say it. Some people in the RPG boards tend to have long memories for grudges. Lily and I are both close associates with Valia (or Valya, depending on where you look) whom I believe both 'Boots and Jagged have run into before. Specifically, she dropped off the boards a while back, which contributed to the death of at least one thread, which probably ruffled some feathers. I'd like to ask that you don't hold it against Lily or me. I don't think you would, but I'd like to get it out in front, just in case. She had the best reason of all for not coming back, and Lily's was almost as good. If you feel you need to know what it was, ask me. I just don't want something like this to screw with the game. I may be being paranoid, but...

Anyway, I'm gonna go find Lily and get her to post Kekita-Sama's info, as well as her own, and I'll open up the IC thread in a few hours. Happy posting!

 

[HookerBoots]

Dude . . . I, like, made you, Leanna. *wide eyes*

I will say, though, if I start going too crazy with what I think strippers are like, stop me? Cause I know next to nothing about real strippers, so let me know if I get too . . . middle-America, all right? I don't think it'll happen, but better safe than sorry - and it's not got to get your GM pissed off

Re: your second point. I try not to hold grudges - I know that RL takes priority, period. Yeah, it's sort of a pain when it kills a thread, and it's always nice to get notification, but that can't always happen. And I'd certainly never hold it against someone's friends/associates/family over something like this. The summation being: y'all are fine by me.

Yay! I'm excited to start . . . not excited enough to stay up much later, but excited!

Kekita Kiyomi (Family names come first in Japan) grew up alone. Her father, a Japanese/American businessman, worked long, grueling hours in order to make a name and a life for himself, struggling to overcome his mixed heritage in the very race-sensitive corporate politics of Japan. He never wanted a daughter, and when his mistress bore him one, then died in childbirth, he cursed them both, but could not bring himself to abandon her, undesired as she was. Still, he paid no attention to her, fulfilling only the basic parental duties of providing food, clothing, and shelter. He would often leave her home alone when she was little, a trend that he would never break.

As Kiyomi grew up, she learned to be independent. She didn't have much interest in schooling, attending only haphazardly. However, she managed to find all manner of activities with which to while away the long hours of her solitary adolescence. She read constantly, both Asian and Western works, concentrating on the classics and works of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Throughout her childhood, she embarked on adventures with D'artagnan and the Three Musketeers, plotted and schemed with Edmond Dantes, Walked the Shadows with Corwin of Amber, and Journeyed to the West with the Monkey King through his many adventures. Her neighbor, Tanaka Hina, was a practicing musician, and her son and Kiyomi became close friends. Hina took pity on the girl, and when a young Kiyomi plucked up the courage to ask for music lessons, Hina was all too happy to provide, training the girl in classical voice, and teaching her music from all over the world. As a result, Kiyomi can sing an imperial lament in classical Japanese, or belt out her favorite songs from Wicked, Jekyll and Hyde, and Phantom of the Opera.

When Kiyomi was thirteen, tragedy struck. Living in a bad section of the city, gangs and violence were a part of life, and went largely unremarked by the denizens of the area. One day, while Kiyomi was at a Sakura festival, a group of hoods came to rob the apartment in which she lived. The robbery went bad, and the toughs panicked, killing the landlord when he came to investigate the reports of a break-in. Fearing discovery, the toughs went through the sparsely populated apartment, killing anyone who might have witnessed the murder. Among the dead were her father, Hina, and Hina's son. Kiyomi was once more alone. However, her father had built up a sizeable stake in anticipation of his retirement, hoping to move to the countryside to live out his later years. With his death, it all passed to Kiyomi. It was enough to keep her in that apartment for another two years, keep her fed and clothed, and pay for her few pursuits. She became bitter, angry, and moody. She became a thrill-seeker, routinely pursuing activities that could get her arrested, raped, or killed. She experimented with drugs, alcohol and sex. However, during the same period of time, she kept up her singing, improving even further. She also began to take lessons in Iaijutsu, kenjutsu, and various martial arts.

She lost her apartment with the last of her money just before her sixteenth birthday. She was out on the street, alone, with nothing more than the clothes on her back, a bag containing books and sheet music, and a few hundred dollars in her pocket. It was on the streets of first Kyoto, then San Francisco, that she became an adult. She drifted, sleeping where she could, doing whatever jobs were available to earn a buck, or a meal, or a place to crash for an hour or a night. mentally, she aged fast, becoming cynical, jaded, untrusting, even cruel.

For a time, she turned to prostitution, working out of a brothel in South Kyoto. It gave her a place to crash, and enough money to keep her fed, albeit poorly. She learned a few things there, though. She learned that men talk to women, that they'll do or say anything to impress them. She also learned that men are fairly cruel creatures when given free reign. During her tenure there, she experimented with, and was experimented on by, a large number of men. She got a reputation for being willing to try almost anything, and that increased her number of customers and regulars. Unfortunately, being adventurous as a living tended to bring in a fairly seedy set of men, the kind who like to beat or use women, or share them with their friends, things that most prostitutes would never allow. Whips, chains, beatings, needles, borderline rape, being on drugs while getting fucked, gangbangs, and so on. She learned one other thing; the darker side of her enjoyed it.

When she was seventeen, Kiyomi got a break. As noted before, men talk to the women they're trying to impress, and this innate reflex extended even to women they have no need to impress, such as prostitutes. Kiyomi, once she realized this, used it to her advantage, seeking the ones who had murdered her friend. For over a year she had searched and inquired, never giving up. On a rainy december night, it finally paid off. Her last customer, a tattooed ganger she had never seen before, in the grip of drugs and alcohol had paid her, used her, and then talked to her. His half-coherent ramblings, urged on by Kiyomi's questions, revealed that he and four of his friends had been the ones to destroy her apartment, her friend, and her life. After learning all she could, Kiyomi murdered the man, using one of the long steel chopsticks that she used to put up her hair. Then, she set out into the night, carrying her wordly possessions, and hunted down the other four men, killing each one in turn and all in a single night. Satisfied with her vengeance, Kiyomi fled the country, booking passage on a cargo freighter to San Francisco.

In San Francisco, she began to live life again. San Francisco was much more laid back and welcoming than Kyoto, and her beauty and skills in art were enough to provide food and clothing for her. She took up the life of a street performer, singing and dancing in Golden Gate Park or down on the Embarcadero. Her singing was beautiful and her graceful movements mesmerizing. Her body, now in the grip of adulthood, certainly helped her along. Her long, flowing jet locks, porcelain skin, dark eyes, and lithe, toned body combined to make her a striking figure, to say the least. Her legs, slender and well-muscled from dancing and martial arts, were long and shapely. Her slender waist led up to a flat, toned stomach, flowing into her high breasts, which were of modest size but very firm, and her swanlike neck and slim shoulders were often left bare, emphasizing the grace of her form.

While she had the money for food, clothing, even books, she could not afford the exorbitant rates for an apartment in the city. At night, if she wasn't out at a party or somesuch event that her beauty had landed her an invitation to, she would sleep in Golden Gate Park, which afforded an immunity from the law, as police could not come onto the park grounds unless called. It was during one of these nights that she met Jenny, another homeless girl of Kiyomi's age. Over the next few months, Kiyomi and Jenny became first friends, then lovers. Jenny was a ray of light in Kiyomi's life, being kind and gentle and sweet, and nothing like the men Kiyomi had known in Kyoto. They had much in common, broken homes and hard lives, but they also enjoyed the same things, nightlife, beauty, music, art. They began to dance and sing together, sometimes sweet, sometimes bawdy, but always, always, beautiful, and their act as a duo pulled each of them more money than either of them had been making alone.

Alas, all good things must come to an end, and for the second time in her life, Kiyomi's best friend was taken from her. This time, it was in mid-June, in the dead of night. Kiyomi was waiting for Jenny to return to the Park, and was sitting on the large hill in Sharon Meadows (Can you tell I spent some time in SF?). It was late night, actually early morning, and Kiyomi had been waiting for almost an hour. She was beginning to worry, when suddenly, she heard a scream. Unthinking, terrified, Kiyomi ran to the source, only to find her friend, naked, bruised, and bleeding, with three men standing over her, laughing. Jenny thrashed on the ground, eyes wide with pain and fear, her throat slashed. Upon seeing her, the men fled and Kiyomi went to her friend. She held Jenny in those last moments, weeping and shivering as Jenny died in her arms. It was only after Jenny had gone, and Kiyomi had closed her friend's glassy, unseeing eyes, that she realized she had never told Jenny she loved her one last time. To this day, that is Kiyomi's greatest regret, and her greatest fear is that such a thing would happen again.

It was here, holding the body of her love, that Izanami visited Kiyomi, in her darker, more vengeful aspect. She offered power, the ability to avenge her love, a way out of the pitiful, lonely existence Kiyomi had known for so long. She had told Kiyomi that power came at a price, and that Kiyomi could only have these things if she agreed to take up the fight against the titanspawn, and the responsibilities that came with being a Scion of Izanami. Kiyomi agreed, and she was granted her birthrights. First given was the black leather jacket she wears to this day, with the kanji for "Ronin" (A masterless samurai) embroidered on the back. Second came the boots, of the same shade and material as the jacket. Together, they would help to armor Kiyomi. Lastly, she was gifted with a katana, with a black iron guard, black-wrapped hilt, and a glittering, preternaturally sharp blade, upon which was engraved with an image of a moon half-hidden by clouds and the words "Satsuki Yami," meaning "midsummer's darkness." Along with advice on the nature and use of her birthrights, she was given information on her powers and her lineage. Throughout it all, Kiyomi churned with a mix of fear, regret, bitter sadness, anger, and exultation. The vengeful creature in front of her could be her mother or not, could be human or not. It didn't matter to Kiyomi. She had power, now, and she was going to use it. After all else had been told and given, Kiyomi was given directions to a club in New York, and orders to go there when her vengeance had been visited upon those who wronged her. As a last, departing act, Izanami took the body of Jenny with her, and faded into the shadows...

 

[Liliannasidhe]

Hey!

Hi everyone!

I'm the Liliannaside, but mostly everyone just calls me Lily. I've been a longtime reader on Literotica, but rarely a poster. I'm fairly new at RPG's, too, but Leanna's been kind to me, and I've taken a liking to Scion and Legend of the Five Rings (the sharp-eyed l5r nerd will catch the reference in my character!). As you can probably tell, I'm fairly wordy with my posts (For which I am so very, very sorry).

IRL I'm a friend of Leanna's, also a student, and a bit of a renaissance woman. I like everything! Especially if it has no practical application. I'm a big fan of fencing, archery, singing, dancing, playing instruments, reading, riding my motorcycle, men, women, bondage, S&M, drinking, playing chess, fashion...you get the idea, I think.

Arm, 'Boots (I'm not sure I can call you "hooker," and hook is way too pirate for your character), I'm glad to meet you! Jagged, get your ass in here, we need more players! Leanna, I hope this party survives longer than the last one...

I'm super excited to start!

Everyone, the IC thread is up! It can be found here:

[HookerBoots]

I should've asked this a little earlier, but before I post . . . 3rd person, first person, or . . . I dunno what else would be an option.

 

[LeannaDark]

Six of one, half dozen of the other. I reflexively use I when I'm playing, but if you want to third person, I can do that too. Post however you feel most comfortable.

 

[Armphid]

I have posted! Woo! I am excited to be underway!

Please let me know if I went too far, btw. I am always open to editing and changing things to suit.

Also, I'm just curious about something trifling. The OOC is in the ORP thread but the IC is in the SRP thread. Any reason? It's not important, I just noticed and was idly curious.

 

[LeannaDark]

Yeah...its because i was half asleep when i made the ooc thread. this is adult roleplaying, very definitely.

Thank you very much...*S*

The Children of Gods. Now that is a high level game.

 

[LeannaDark]

Nope, that's pretty standard, actually. Technically, yes, you're all demigods, but the ichor takes time to mature, which is what ups your badass quotient. Like I said, feel free to PM me with questions or concepts. If you don't have rules, we'll work out a concept and ill math it out for you.

 

[LeannaDark]

Hey everyone! Arm, 'Boots, your opening posts are excellent! I will respond at some point this afternoon. Lily, Amara has started work, so feel free to jump in any time.

 

[LeannaDark]

Arm, I've responded, and you're in Manhattan and up to current time, so feel free to advance the story to that night, in the club.

Hook, I've responded, and you're currently on the stage. Have at it!

 

[HookerBoots]

Totally tipping my hand - should we tell you here, or there, when we activate a Knack or Boon? For example, if I were to use Center of Attention here, would I need to just RP it, or give you a heads up here, or what?

 

[LeannaDark]

Sorry about the wait, Lily was borrowing my computer. You can probably just RP it, since in Amara's head, it would require a conscious effort to activate it, and reading that would tip me off. If you feel that it needs to be mentioned, you can just put it in brackets when you activate it.

 

[HookerBoots]

Awesome. Not that I think Woman in Green is shape-shifted or anything *cough* Itotallydo *cough*, but please don't forget I've got Real McCoy as one of my knacks

And great post, Lily! She's a dirty girl, and I likes it.

As a side note, I know that Arm is going to post (he's at one of his regular games tonight) that he arrived before Mystery Woman in Green did, so I might put him in a corner somewhere.

The white wind howls...

'Boots was right in saying that I was supposed to be at a gaming session. However, due to Snowmageddon VI: The Undiscovered Yeti, our GM and host called off the game. Which was good since my roommate and I had in the time we'd left, taken 15 minutes to go a mile and a half.

Now, I am home, safe and warm. He is capering about the house with his trousers on his head and all is...well,not right with the world. But at least we're not trapped in a snow filled ditch freezing to death, heated only by the act of fighting off yetis and then crawling inside their carcasses for warmth. And to chew on some fresh yeti.

I'm a little squirrelly tonight, I apologize.

Anyway, I will be posting fairly soon after 'Boots does. And I have candy for anyone who can spot the three geeky references hidden/paraphrased in this post!

 

[LeannaDark]

No, she's not shapeshifted, but you might have to look a little closer to tell if anything is off. And I didn't forget, its just that real mccoy requires the expenditure of legend. As legend is often hard to come by, I will assume you're not actively expending unless you RP a use of it or flat-out tell me. But I will give you that your suspicions are right about her. There's definitely something wrong here.

Snowmageddon VI: Star Trek VI: The undiscovered Country

Crawling inside the Carcasses: Empire Strikes Back

I wanna say the thing about the white wind is the third, but unless its a left-handed reference to the White Wizard of LotR or the White Witch of Narnia, I cannot identify the third reference.
