Anything will give up it secrets if you love it enough. I may have mentioned to a few of you that my current work involves roughly a five hour or so commute everyday. That leaves very little room for self-indulgence, and adjusting to the new schedule is not easy. Also, things become mechanical. Sometimes you have to leave home at a certain time, and then leave the office at a certain time, or else your schedule for the day will be all wired up and you'll lack sleep. It's not as terrible as it sounds, cause I have it easy at work, and commuting is not really bad as long as you have a radio or mp3 player or a portable gaming console. Part of this daily routine involves a stray dog. And if you ever watch the movies, you know that stray animals DONT want to be picked up. They may need your food and shelter but that doesn't mean they'd agree to go inside your house. Anyway, that dog has been there for a long time. One day she just appeared there, and burrowed under one of my mum's flowery shrub. My mum hated her for it, but as mums are, she left food for the dog at times. I named the dog Ronnie, but we call it "Askal" in Tagalog slang that's "Asong Kalye" or "Street Dog". So that dog stayed there, and it camped outside our house forever. There were times that I tried to befriend it, but it was always "scared" of people, running away when anyone tried to get too near. Our neighbor eventually let it in their house, but only when it's raining, as there was no other way to convince the dog to stay. The street was it's home. That was that. At times I thought that it was such an ungrateful unfriendly dog. Anyway like a true bitch it has the propensity to get pregnant _allthetime_ leaving our neighbor a litter of dogs that they keep on giving away. They kept one puppy a while back, and said puppy had grown up. Now this puppy had worse manners than his mom, and has a habit of finding used diapers and leaving them strewn all over the street. You can never domesticate a stray when it grows up a stray. Our neighbors tried and I think their dead slippers count is at 5 pairs. So my sister and me calls the new pup Kimi, and for a while all we talk about is how worse Kimi is than his mum (yeah, girl's name, we always thought it was a girl, cause she's light brown and white and really cute). But now my routine involves Kimi. I don't know, the dog must have found me a part of his morning routine. For about a few weeks now I have always waved at him before I leave (as he stays right outside our gate in the morning, basking in the sun) and say "Hello, Bye." I don't know when it started but one day, he just started accompanying me to the tricycle terminal. It's not a very long walk, but for me, to be escorted by a dog, a stray dog, that means a lot. I grew up with a dog named Jaggie, and I loved him so much and he was my best friend and I taught him to sit and play dead. But my folks realized that I was having asthma because of him, so I had to say goodbye. The next dog I ever got close to was a dachshund half-breed I named Boogie, who was the most intelligent dog because it knew how to play with me, and his favorite command was "UP" and he'd jump and paw at your leg until you shake his hand. I'm not really a dog-friendly person because I still go wheezing when I stay around them too much, but I love dogs. One day I will buy a St. Bernard and name him Tchaikovsky. Anyway, I've grown to be attached in a distant way to Kimi... it's really hard to explain. I've started looking forward to seeing him in the morning and he'd walk with me to the terminal or the street corner... Do you know the joy of being greeted when you come home? Well, he has been greeting me with a happy wagging tail and running around a lot recently. For a stray who does not want to be touched, he's awfully friendly. I think that giving him leftover bones sometimes may have bribed him into getting nice, as he now has a habit of sniffing my lunchbox (lolwat I don't want my bag smelling like food) and then looking at me with a happy face, as if asking if I have something for him. It hit me when my uncle commented that Kimi now "knows" me. I have a reputation for being a snob when it comes to stray animals (especially dogs, since I really can't stay around furry animals) and he was surprised that whenever he opened the door for me, Kimi is also there. And that I actually tolerate the dog's presence. It's really... I don't know. Maybe those of you around here may think that I'm just putting too much meaning into the dog's gestures... but I have had my own pet dogs, and pet dogs stand up when you arrive, or drop whatever they're doing in order to greet you. And, and... they escort you. *sigh* I may have mentioned to a few of you that my current work involves roughly a five hour or so commute everyday. That leaves very little room for self-indulgence, and adjusting to the new schedule is not easy. It's not as terrible as it sounds, cause I have it easy at work, and commuting is not really bad as long as you have a radio or mp3 player or a portable gaming console. Or when you have a dog who escorts you to the terminal, and greets you warmly when you get home. If this dog was white with big same-brown-color patches, with a pink nose and a long straight tail, that'd be Kimi.

Notes to remember:

Have promoted my personal quest in chat and it seems that a few might be interested in joining Team Priskil B)

1. I'm doing a thread in Endrykas with Conrad. (With Sama'el and Vanator) Conrad's going to be an ally in the future.
2. I'm doing a thread in the Keerdash Grove in Eyktol with Jabran, and hopefully I could do my best to persuade him to join the quest.
3. Amondaris (funny how you find allies in weird places, ie, chat.) expressed willingness to join the queit, and is perfectly sitting in Avanthal where Stitch is.
4. Ronin also expressed interest, but he is in Wind Reach. Haha. Dear Fenilen, look another person who asked me to go to Wind Reach, why you all out there anyway what's in WR that's not else where?! *shakes fist at Endals* Ronin has another friend, Vala, who is also a Priskil follower, and they will be glassblowing apprentice to... dumdumdum Fenilen (so he said) so the recruitment won't be too difficult.

See the benefit of not being organized in one place? I'm really happy that I'm finally evolving into having more allies (though not directly with my PC). Must badger these people so they won't back out. Peace out.

[Jilitse]

So yeah I couldn't sleep and then I went to my PC and logged on Miz again, only to see that GP has awarded my thread with Stitch 5 minutes ago so I was excited and read it immediately.



Yes. I got a Fist Mark from Priskil.
Sometimes I wonder whether GP leaves these things so that I will post them in my SB.

[Vala]

Congratulations Jilitse!

I can't wait till all the Priskil followers can finally rally together.

World Development, in terms of Jilitse ... or rather, Self Development A few months earlier, in order to be a helpful Mizahar citizen, I decided to take up Embalming and Undertaking. I had a short while of wanting to be an undertaker in-game, which I eventually had to let go, as I became busy and was unable to provide proper attention. My reason for it is that as a Nuit, I am eventually going to do Embalming, and if there's no wiki article about it, I'll be groping in the dark. Instead of having a thread about it, why not write a lore? So I applied to take on Embalming and Undertaking. Taking on these two (one) wiki articles sent me to the depths of my then school library. I learned things about decaying human bodies that I never knew before, and saw pictures of rotting things that I still want to unsee. Writing lore is like that, especially if you're taking up technical skill. Jen wrote something along the lines of "you can't write about something if you aren't deeply interested in it" and I agree. However, I think that deep interest when married to desire to learn and research can be quite the tandem. Plus creativity and imagination and you'll get awesome ideas. Anyway, many months forward and the article is still in development. It's hard to get the proper critique in World Development, and sometimes people will go over it and give you a nod. While those pat-in-the-backs are much needed, it doesn't contribute to the writing process itself. Sometimes your ego even gets bashed. Having experienced that in Mizahar, I think I have the right to raise brows on people who ignore other people's advice - thinking that they got it right. I think writing for World Development taught me a lot about perspective, how people won't always agree with you, and that there might be a way to reconcile. There is always a way to reconcile things. If you don't think so, if you feel like you've got it all figured out, chances are you're too self-absorbed. And you'll never be able to move forward. My character, as many people know, is after the death of Sagallius. I can give you a long list of reasons why. One of them (among the petty ones) is that it would be pretty cool to kill a God. The Founders have hinted that it is possible for a player to kill a god, and GP himself had hinted that he is "willing to let go" of his NPCs at the right time. Many people, at the start of this quest, had been skeptic about this. I am among those people who say "it'd be cool to kill a God and imma do just that". It was nice when people said that they were interested, and it was even better when they saw that "omg she's really gondoit". Now I have Priskil's mark after losing a magical book, angering a friend and getting skewered by a sword. Sure I have epic adventures to tell, but there is something missing in Jilitse's central development. Her magic. I have always been more close to GP than any other founder, perhaps because he created the Nuit race, and he answers all my questions about magic. Not that I have never spoken to the other founders, I have consulted a few times with them when it mattered. Perhaps the reason why I talk with GP the most is because he is concerned with my PC development. I have been having mod threads with him since I started. He is very fun to be with, and pushes my PC to forkroads that I absolutely hate but must decide upon. He deviously suggested that Jil should learn summoning so that I could write Worlds for Miz. (Something about it still sound highly suspicious) I took him on this challenge, and my first world, after all the past months, is now up for Founder review. My Nuit is a useless mage in the popular sense of the word. Many times now GP had made fun of Jilitse's "one-sidedness" - knowing only Animation, with no way of protecting herself. Typical animation mage played to a "T". Twice now in my threads with him I came this close to dying \o_o/ and I want to cry how I do not have any means to protect myself. Problem is, Jilitse was created in such a way that very little would ever convince her to veer away from what she's used to. It's hard to just suddenly pick up a book on say, Shielding, or suddenly learn Summoning. Jilitse won't do that. Just the way that Jilitse didn't choose Stitch's kids over Marie Suzanne. Dear Morality, Where are you? Jilitse Developing one PC takes a lot of time. If anyone would bother to know how I'm doing it, it's simple: Jilitse's decisions have been decided since day 1. Making a Nuit meant that I will have to forego the many fine things one could RP about. Sleeping and dreaming, eating and drinking, breathing air, fast heartbeats. It's an undead. Do you know how weary it gets to play a 500 year old character? It's really hard. I have to always put myself in Jilitse's perspective, what would a Nuit do? So I took inspiration from (haha laugh if you must) one of Harry Potter's villains - Snape, who was built like an evil wizard, but is later revealed to be a cheesy hopeless romantic. I based Jilitse from Yuuko Ichihara of XXXholic, one of Clamp's popular manga/anime. I still envision my Nuit as a pasty pale tall woman with long black hair and excessive eyeliner - and the only picture I have found close to this is Shanoa from Castlevania: Order of Ecclessia (the DS game, not the Wii). She would be loyal to Mashaen and her quest, which is her reason for being. I was not supposed to be really in love with the archwizard, but Tarot picked up on that "joke" and eventually it became a puzzle piece that fit into the big picture. It is really easy to come up with Jilitse's reactions to most things: though she is curious about the world and wishes to learn, she already has a preconceived opinion on everything. Including Sagallius. I'm sure Tarot will have more interesting things to tell about his Benshira, but Jilitse will not ever "have a change of heart" - at most she will question her motives, but she'll pursue them anyway. The Benshira must die. How exactly, is the question I have asked for so long. I think part of my long term quest is my search for the predecessors of Drainira. This means that I might need to create a new Supervisor, and my PC's animation's stuck at 35. Minus that, there's the matter of as mentioned earlier, not having any offensive magic. For the record, Jil doesn't have defensive magic either. Dear Jil, Y u so useless? -Me So I went back to the other ideas I had for Worlds, hoping to see where I left off and remember what got me worked up about learning Summoning, and found there a conversation I had with Puck, back when he was still around. "GP rejected my pony ideas" - Me to Jake (Nimvahlis/Puck/Alistair), when we talked about creating Worlds for Mizahar. I am pretty sure those ponies were magical and are commonly called as unicorns. But kidding aside, I am hoping that by preparing "Worlds" to summon from, I'll kick up the dust and start becoming a real Summoner. And that I will eventually train Jilitse to be a good mage. I need to practice Animation and make useful items, and I have to learn Summoning. This purposeful, driven, keep-your-eye-on-the-goal attitude, I learned from my Nuit. Now if I could carry it on to real life...

[Gossamer]

Just because you are closest to GP doesn't mean you don't have a large cheering section. I'd like to think of myself as one of those painted up fools waving a giant foam finger raised as a sign of #1 with the worlds Jili on it. I think I can even comfortably say sometimes I am one of the most obnoxious fans in that section. Though people show up and hope not to see me there because it might be 'quieter' I never miss a game.

[Jilitse]
