The Tea Room, Mk. IV

[Grimward]

----Now Karn, no educating by example with first time visitors. ---

----Visit during other times, my good Heretic, and you'll see that Karn (perhaps!) has a method to his seemingly aggressive behavior...----

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Elemental. Read back, Heretic, read back.

And this is no mere grooming instrument. It is Juken's battle toothbrush, an item he stole from a mountain giant long ago. It's about the size of a baseball bat......

[mirinda]

the foxfire nonsense. Which by the way Foxfire was a good book.

But why do you prefer that one of Heretic's?

I'm soon to be a druid with Nixies help. *smiles happily at the thought.*

I put up one of my poems now.

[Heretic]

*sigh* too lazy to read back. Who knows, maybe the first clear reference to this would be a thousand leagues away in this room.

[Heretic]

Ah yes, the poem that made me think of a rape scene, mixed with vengeance.

[mirinda]

Did you only get that from the word or from the whole poem though?

[Heretic]

*Questions run down in Heretic's brain, usual for a newcomer*

Foxfire?

Nixie?

Druid?

Juken (sounds German)?

I knew that this would get crazy, but my field training in Omniverse Zero never focused on this level of insanity!

Whole poem. I read it all, and I managed to get a clear message.

[mirinda]

Foxfire for me means the book. For Grim you'd have to ask Grim.

Nixie is a pixie druid at the moment my mentor on my path to becoming their druid of knowledge.

Juken is Karn's dragon....pesky little thing. But loveable all the same.

Ah and you've yet to be properly aquainted with the tumbleweeds...the brownie...the diresters...rob....you met Freda of course but there's more to her than being a giant spider.

[Heretic]

Oh man...I think this is as equal as seeing Ry'leh, if not seeing more..

But I must add my own counter-insane weapon.

"This..is..SPARTAmerica!" *kicks -insert whoever- down the well.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

As for me, I'm Karn, the water elemental, or as I'm known in Deustchland, Der Feuhrer!


Not really......

----The foxfire references are part of my examining the TR for a personal niche, so to speak. I have an idea where they're heading, but no more. I take it a step or two further each time I visit, trying not to bore other TR occupants to tears in the process! *loud snoring ensues from multiple spots around the room*-----

----As for the ancient tactic poem, I like the study in contrasts at its beginning, especially the imagery of the rug-burning toddler set against the man pulling the strings.----

[mirinda]

Ry'leh?

Good assesment.

Well you don't need a set niche. Everyone has room here.

[Heretic]

Ry'leh, the mad and unthinkable city with no Eucladian shapes, where Cthulhu sleeps a deathless death (or something like that). Hearing it makes men scared. Seeing it makes almost everyone except recluse professors insane.

Or wait, do you know about it and just mentioning it anyway?

[Grimward]

Thanks Mir.

Would it be reasonable then to say that, like Lenny's sofa, I have a tendency to wander, the difference being that I possibly return more often than his sofa does?

And while I described it as a "personal niche", I really only meant that it's a corner of the room where I might routinely be found "exploring", as it were, and by no means "mine", exclusively or otherwise.

[Heretic]

Please define set niche.
