The Dark Chronicler

OOC: ... Now I want to do first person Drome again. This is your fault, Cadias. XD On another note, I think this is the calmest I have ever wrote Drome. IC: Drome Peace. So fragile and precious a thing. One never really realizes how much they treasure it until it has vanished from their grasp. Unfortunately for me, I knew it was over the moment I heard my name shouted. If there was one person who could ruin even the happiest of times with their presence, it was Kadon. He was to joy what a dart was to an eyeball. Wait... no, that wasn't right. You could get rid of Kadon. A dart to the eye was kinda permanent. Having him around HURT like a dart to the eye. There, that's better. There was, however, one positive side to his presence here. I could try to get him to pay me back for the stupidly high medical I got because he charged into battle and I had to charge in after to rescue him. I smirked slightly as he came closer, ignoring him for the moment. First I would make him pay off this stupid bill, and then I would punch his face! And if he didn't pay for it, there was always the option of punching him in the face twice. All of this thinking about punching him in the face reaaally made me want to punch him in the face. "What do you want, Kadon? Here to apologize and pay off your debts?" Yeah, I could tell what his answer would be right away, which is why I had carefully moved my hand over to the handle of my mace. I probably shouldn't be fighting so soon after getting out of a hospital, but you know what they say... 'It's worth pain to punch an idiot.' Or something like that.

Ghidora131 - Good to see you too person I don't recognize. Ghosthands - Ghosthands! I'll be sure to check it out. Silvan Haven - Three years sounds about right. College is a major pain. Good to see another face I recognize. Tyler St. Francis - Hubert! Wait... have you and Tyler combined into a single person!? Good to see you! Well, I'm now caught up on the details of the Starting Topic. Anything more recent that I might need to be aware of?

Hello all. I'm a BZPRPG player from a while ago, with a bad habit of dropping in and out wildly, often vanishing for several months. However, my life has finally managed to stabilize a bit and I hope to actually be able to stick around this time. Probably not many people will recognize me, and I am happy to see quite a few new faces here. So uh, I'm looking forward to getting the chance to RP with you all, and... I have absolutely no idea what is happened in the story for a while so I'm just going to wing it. Wheee!

OOC: Act 1 Scene 1: The Ga-Wahi shoreline Enter a Toa of sonics IC: Drome When you stare into the water, it's easy to get lost in your own reflection. You see your past laid out before you in every wound and every muscle. Victories and defeats flowing together as one, creating a single image that stares back with lifeless eyes. What could you have done differently? Which of these scars were ones with shameful pasts? Those are questions that may haunt the mind, and lead perhaps to a revelation. For most this revelation might be to try harder in life, to be a better person than they ever were before. For other it works to strengthen their resolve and lead them onward with new-found determination. For Drome it meant neither of these things. For him it meant freedom.Freedom from pain that had enveloped him for far too long. Freedom from the defeats that had plagued his past. Freedom from a foe who had been stalking him relentlessly. Drome could scarcely contain himself from laughing. Finally he had the freedom that he had wanted, but freedom had come at a cost. A very harsh cost, but one that he was certain he could every repay. He knew he had to try regardless, there was too much that needed to be accomplished to let this shadow of past mistakes linger over him. With one hand inside a pocket of his vicious armor, he squeezed tightly to a crumpled piece of paper. Written upon it was a curse, the harshest of all curses he had ever faced. It was not something that could merely be cured. No, it would require a great deal of effort to free himself from the small piece of paper. He knew he had time to do so and, once it was finished, he would be free from all that restrained him. As if the defeat and subsequent comatose state hadn't been cruel enough, the unholy price on the hospital bill was easily enough to drive a man to madness. But Drome wasn't mad, no. He was above madness. He was furiousness. Looking down into the flowing water, Drome unleashed a sonic roar. Crafted not to deafen or cause pain, but instead for his own amusement. The waters writhed under the echoing assault and the fish within began to panic and flail about. He let out a small chuckle. It was far nicer not to be the powerless one. Soon, very soon. "Hahaha. Drome, he who makes the fishes dance." he sighed as he took a seat at the edge of the water, laying back and placing his feet into the cool liquid, "How great and noble. You have certainly proven yourself to be a hero, haven't you? Bah." Rubbing his eyes with a groan, he continued grumbling, "Maybe I'm not cut out for heroics. Probably should let the scars and scam of a bill tell me that one." "It's all Kadon's fault." Unseen by Drome beneath the water, a fish had been irritated by the sonic barrage. However, unlike the others this fish was smart enough to know where the blast had come from. Shooting up to the water's surface, the sharp-toothed fish sunk its teeth right into Drome's foot. It was tired of being powerless. It would make them pay. It would make them all pay! With a startled shout, Drome launched himself up from his relaxed position and saw the small fish gnawing on his toe. With a sonic blast, he sent the little pest flying off into the distance, to land who-knows-where. Rubbing his injured toe, he frowned. Stupid little fish. Who did it think it was, trying to attack him? Eh. Maybe staying near water with vicious bitey fish wasn't the best idea. Lugging his mace up over his shoulder, he turned towards a large tree presenting a great deal of shade. Perfect. With a light laugh, Drome began walking towards the tree. Relaxing was so much better than trying to get money to pay off his bill. He could just do that later.

Yeah, it was only after writing this that I realized just how hard it might be to pick out a favorite myth, which is part of the reason I don't list one for myself. I have not yet had the chance to read them, but they have been on my to-read list for quite a while now. From what I've seen about them, they seem extremely interesting. I was actually planning to start reading them quite soon, but ended up finding a copy of both the Kalevala and the Mabinogion which have taken up my recent reading.

Yay! Temporary Premier Membership perks. Time to write a blog like I'm sure a ton of other people are doing! Only I'm doing it with... MYTHOLOGY. For the sake of clarification, since the term has such a wide and uncertain range as of exactly what it covers, I'm using Mythology in this instance to reference Religions which no longer have large groups of remaining followers. I personally love reading about religions throughout the world, and some of the most awesome ones are those which have fallen out of favor. I'm sure a lot of people know at least something about a Mythology, be it the ever present Hellenistic Greek or the rising prominence of Scandinavian Norse (For those in the United States at least). There are also quite a few Mythologies that have a small prominence, but that nobody really knows more than a few characters of, such as Anubis, Horus, and possibly Bast from Egypt, to use their Roman names, Quetzalcoatl among the Mexica Aztec, and occasionally Dagon, usually in the Lovecraftian form instead of multiple Mesopotamian regions. Which brings my rumbling to an end to ask the question this blog was made for: Do YOU have a favorite myth? The death of Hodr? The underworld ballgame of Hunahpa and Xbalanque? The clever trickery of Anansi? Perhaps a favorite character from Mythology? The foolish Coyote in one of his many forms? The troublesome Susano'o? One of the mysterious and earth-shaking Rainbow serpents? Or even a favorite mythology as a whole? The little-known Etruscan? The ancient Sumerian? The clever myths of the Russian Chukchi? If you do, feel free to share!

Hi Indigo, been a long time since I last talked to you. It's good to hear that you managed to get out of the relationship. Far too often people get trapped in unhealthy relationships, often with very painful results. Managing to get out of those kinds of relationships seems to be one of the hardest things to do, due to the psychological aspects at play. Good to see you again. (I'm The Dark Chronicler, if you remember me. Hi!)
