      I remember you as well! Always thought you had the greatest username.

      Literally the greatest, I agree.

      How've you been?

  3. So, yes, there is a birthday today. But not just any birthday. Today is the birthday of my main man (woman, Toa) Inferna Firesword, the Queen herself. Let's celebrate her sticking with us this whole time through and gracing us with her phenomenal works! Here's to you, Fern! Happy birthday! -Kagha
  4. You need to get on AIM more often, or we'll just skip finishing Arc 3 and go straight to Arc 4 (and you won't want to miss that, trust me >=)).

  5. For any peoplez who care, references in my SSC entry were made to Halo 3, Star Wars (iunno which one), the Matrix, Batman Begins, and some elements from Lord of the Flies and Of Mice and Men. Haha, just putting that out there. :P

      Lol, if somebody read that list without the context their head would probably explode trying to figure how those relate. :P

  6. Congratulations all entrants! It was an honour writing with you, I look forward to doing it again sometime.
  7. Note: Due to formatting issues, I have broken the story into two halves -- half one is in the main post, and half two is in a spoiler in this post. Scroll to the bottom to locate it. All content is in exactly the same state as it was in on the day of original posting. See further bolded text for info. Thanks! By the time BIONICLE was waning off I kept feeling this hearkening toward the original mysticism and fantastical elements of the original timeline, and I just kept thinking -- we need to go back to that. That needs to be given proper tribute. And so here's my contribution to keeping the old days alive. It really means a lot to me that you thought there was nothing worth criticism, thanks so much! =D Thanks for your kind comments! I didn't intend to make the story all that convoluted, but I was dealing with a fairly broad window of both time and scale, so I can understand if it was easy to get lost in the storytelling. I'm glad you were motivated to go back and reread, though, usually people are put off and walk away after they realise they're a couple thousand words in and the monotony isn't getting much better. I believe that you were one of the people who read the story after the format had broken itself into pieces and I didn't do anything to rectify it because the entry period was still up and I didn't want to bug Velox again, so I do think that you might not have been able to read to the full end. I add a little bit more content post Tahu and Takua rummaging through the woods, and while it isn't much, it adds one more LotR quote and ties up the story as a whole, I think. I noticed that the formatting problem arose because of the heinous heft of the word count, so I broke the original document into two pieces (since the contest is over and I have full reign over editing now), the main post contains roughly half of the story, and then I have a spoiler in this post with the other half. If you want, you can go over to the end of the spoiler in this post and read the finished ending, if you don't want to bother, that's fine too. Thanks for reading in any case! And yeah, I tried to be as aphoristic in this story as possible. Haha, thanks. ^^ I do need to read a lot of the other entries as well, yours included, and I swear when I get free time I will definitely do that -- after all, I'd feel bad letting all those great stories sit there without at least giving them my time and attention.Yeah, Tahu plus eloquence isn't exactly the most orthodox idea, and I'll admit it was a bit awkward for me writing him this way, but it was the easiest way to get the message across I think. I'm glad you liked the time travel plot line -- I just had to find a way to justify Takanuva reverting back to Takua and the hideous Phantoka/Mistika going back to their original, more eye-appealing forms.Thanks a tonne for your review, I will make sure to reciprocate the favour soon, you deserve it!--And as promised, the second half of the story.
  8. HAPPY BIRFDAI, PAL! :D No, but really, have a good one. We never see you anymore, we're getting sad ...

  9. INDEED IT IS.Today marks the seventy first inaugural celebration of the introduction of our pal, Lord Kini Hawkeye, into this world, blessing us all with his presence. Give it up for the man of the hour, Kini himself! *applause and fireworks boom through the air as I do a backflip off my motorcycle and land on a horse*Have a happy birthday, Kini, you deserve it. -KaghaP.S. He's not actually seventy-one years old. At least, I don't think so.P.P.S. Good friends don't count years, they just think of an obscenely large number and slap it on. =P
  10. Aaaaaaand of course my story can't stay put for a couple of days before it ups and decides, "Hey, here's an idea, I'll eat my formatting." -.--Kagha
  11. Also, just had to note... It was one, foursomething years ago, the plural was not necessary and makes me sound like larger competition than I actually am. XD-Kagha
  12. If anybody has enough time on their hands to pore through my latest story and find all the media references, I shall give you a cookie!

      Hmm, well aside from the obvious one being LotR, there's one FPS video game that is referenced and three iconic (I guess?) movies that are sci-fi, mild sci-fi, and superhero genres (one is 80s, one is 90s, one is 00s). The beginning scene is also heavily inspired by an old 1900s novel that won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Inferna and Akaku, I know, should know that last one.

       

      hahahaha maybe I gave away too much. I just wanna to see if they can be found! :D

      I haven't found them, but I don't watch that many sci-fi movies either.

      Kagha, I haven't read Of Mice and Men yet. Why should I recognize its influence on the beginning? =P [/free hint]

  13. To be honest, I'm not too strung up on word count all the time unless there's an insane max/min to follow. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter to me to write a "monster story" so long as the story itself gets told effectively. Quality over quantity, hey?-Kagha
  14. To be honest, my general guess is that Rahi in the Matoran Universe serve the same purpose as wildlife here on Earth -- to be active components in the biosphere and to maintain a web of cycles necessary to sustain life. Where plants in the MU could very well be processors of oxygenesque protodermis, then burrowing Rahi could aerate the soil for them in order to allow productivity; avian Rahi would be able to transfer seeds; detritivorous Rahi to recycle decayed protodermis; et cetera. The basic cop-out answer would be that if nutrients and the likes were created by the Great Beings to inhabit the MU (which is a reasonable idea to accept, given we have evidence of at least some organic life such as that on Voya and Mahri Nui occurring naturally in the MU) then it would be only logical to assume that larger life forms would be made to utilise, cycle, and process these nutrients. Microorganisms could very well get the same processes down over time but it would probably take a lot longer than having macroscopic creatures carry out these ecological functions. Furthermore, the MU was based off of Spherus Magna, and the Rahi were more than likely based off of animals on SM. I guess for the Great Beings, having this macroscopic fauna component could have just seemed like a basic trait of a functioning world and they didn't give it much thought. Also, if Rahi are necessary to maintain productive ecosystems and affect biomes in the MU, then without them, it's safe to assume that living conditions would plummet, and with bad living conditions Matoran wouldn't be able to proliferate, and with a scrawny and declining Matoran population Mata Nui would go ill and would rapidly become inoperable.I think it was said in the beginning of the 2001 arc that Rahi were generally characterised and even defined as being heinous beasts that were a terror to Matoran and a blight on the land, mindless servants of Makuta. Of course, this was later debunked as a universal trait of them and in the Metru Nui saga it was revealed that the term Rahi applied to all animals whatever their nature, docile, domesticated, large, small, mammalian, marsupial, reptilian -- whatever. So on Mata Nui, the fact that they were made out to be "dangerous animals" was probably just the Turaga casting them in that light so that the pretty much newborn Matoran (they had no memory and they were on a Makuta-dominated island, they had to be paranoid and even superstitious if they didn't want to die) take extra safety precautions and didn't get too cosy with the animalia on Mata Nui.The fact that dangerous beasts exist in the MU doesn't necessarily amount to a flaw in their creation as you suggest, the Great Beings probably wouldn't create things with a purely negative purpose. It was probably after the dozens of millennia of evolution and whatnot (assuming such a thing would take place significantly faster than Earthen methods) -- or if that doesn't exist in the MU, the sheer scale of time letting external factors drive them out of their niches and spur them to aim their physical abilities to wreak havoc on Matoran settlements. This would be non-malicious havoc, of course. They're animals; they wouldn't destroy out of spite. Maybe habitat loss caused by Matoran expansion?Also we have to take into consideration that a good deal of the Rahi were created by Makuta for strictly war purposes to be used by the League of Six Kingdoms. I think that's how the Takea was formed, not too sure.
  15. Your move, Pteridophyta. >:)
