After doing that Montaine, I now cannot stop laughing. Thank you for that.

[Minerva Agatha Zipporah]

And as the glassblower keeps glassblowing and living through wars, combats, glassblowings, slaughters gets more and more load on his back, turning him insane or depressed or desperate to throw himself in another glassblowing. Because maybe, just maybe, somewhere someone will be competent enough to glassblow him and make his soul finally rest and free him from the hell he has been living through.

[Montaine]

That's roughly Monty's plot, yeah.

[Minerva Agatha Zipporah]

I view magic a lot like sex.

Wait, hear me out!

When it's done right, its good, and pure, and intimate, and makes you feel special and wonderful.

But when you're first starting out its awkward and uncomfortable and you don't always do it right.

And when you fail at it, its very embarrassing (maybe even messy).

You can learn on your own, but it goes better when you have someone more experienced and patient to guide and teach you.

You might regret it when you're done.

Some people do it for money, but everyone else looks down on them and think that's disgusting and wrong.

Everyone does it differently, and no one way is the 'right' way.

If you're not careful, it can have life altering consequences.

It's usually done in private, but some people like an audience.

And SOME people are going to do it in a scary and disturbing way that makes people go, "What's WRONG with her?"

[Letosfer Celshield]

LOL Minerva you owned, especially thx for copying my text and adding "glassblowing". It was utterly a must-laught text:P Moreover I like your reasoning in representing Magic as Sex Makes you think of how other things can be described in other senses. & Let's take for example Glassblowing it brings slaughter etc. But what if we describe dunno Blacksmithing as the act of the spider knitting it's traps. "I create these metal hinge to bring despair and sorrow to those that cross by this door. It's the perfect trap for me to feed using this and only hinge!! Mwahahaha!" yeah the force is strong with this one . & What else do you think could be likewise strangely represented by other means?

[Ira]

LOL awesome comparison there Minerva I never thought of the spider and a blacksmitht that is the most random one I've ever heard--er, read. No comparisons come to mind save for maybe a con-artist and a pushy sales-men but then again aren't they the same thing?:P And on another note...who would like to rob Ira?

[Marcus Dymez]

Best. Comparisons. Ever. This is why Zeltiva is the greatest city around.

[Wrenmae]

I may be inclined to, Ira. Toss me a pm and we can plan...soon as I catch up on threads owed.

[Arcane]

Ahh you naughty kids

Ahoy there my beloved children! I realized that I have been posting everywhere but here, and shall do so in an effort to correct that oversight. Communication is, after all, key to a good relationship

Now, I know that I haven't been grading and generally being visible for quite a while. It's because I was discovered to be the long-lost heir of a small faraway kingdom, and since the King passed away unfortunately I was busy managing the troubled finances and day-to-day civil affairs of the country.

... No, not really. It's just RL stuff, though if you find my real excuse too boring feel free to imagine the above

I will be ultra inactive for the next few days, then for a few more days after that more active, but still generally inactive. Of course, I will try to get as many modly things done today as possible.

Shoot me a PM if you have any queries and... stuff.

Don't worry I have not forsaken any of you! As Arny says, "ILL BE BACK."

[Lucas Arias]

Lucas will be in Zeltiva this season to study at the university and be a professor's assistant, so I'm looking for people to RP with.

He's a failed squire, quite good with a sword, but even better without. He experiments, he draws, he talks more than is good for him, he drinks a lot, he's kind of quirky, has a weird sense of humor, is obsessed with Eypharians and has little regard for authority sometimes.

If you are willing to thread with me, I'll be sure to make it worthwhile.
