  2. First *hugs.* Paralyzing perfectionism is something that I know well. It can be daunting. Work ethic aside for a moment. It can be overwhelming when you need to have something done to you standard of perfection, but doubt that it can be. Combine that with ADD and the task at hand becomes so much more difficult. To address the work ethic issue, I think that you are being unnecessarily hard on yourself. You would not be in a position where you would have scholarships to begin with if you were not deserving. To get back to the original problem this is absolutely something that you can and if you feel that you need to should seek help for. ADD is a medical issue which should be taken seriously. "I can't do work," is not dumb!! Part of the reason is a true medical diagnosis. Talk to a teacher or your parents and see if they can come up with a creative solution to help. I have found teachers to be understanding about a great many things. As far as the perfectionism go forth and make the world your own. To get things done to your standard once you have sought help, remember this doing nothing is not perfect doing nothing is stagnant. The only way to feed your perfectionism is to do that which you much and apply your abilities to it.
  3. A hammer blow crashes into me. I can scarcely breath. Fear which for so long was a foreign emotion floods my flesh. My bones are saturated. I can feel so may emotions. Some of them spill over our connection while yet others radiate off of her. I can smell the horror flow from her. The sound of the knife hitting the deck rings loudly in my ears. A portal of darkness swallows me. There is something unnatural which grabs at my soul threatening to obliterate it. Weakness saps me dry. However, I am not for myself anymore. I stand with great difficulty. My knees buckle as I stand in front of my daughter. For her I will be strong. With a supreme force of will I force my body to still. I reach out and take hold of her hands ignoring my own discomfort. I gently squeeze her hands. "He cannot hurt you anymore. Fox, look at me please. You are safe now. I love you my daughter. You are safe now." Circestran kneels beside Nath and places her ghostly hands above his.
  4. Circestran recoils for moment as Fox answers angrily. Her tears return. She stands back unsure of what to do. My face blanches. I close my eyes and take a steadying breath, but tremors shake me. Discomfort and pain flow freely through my body. "I can't be sure daughter, but I believe it to be true. When I first met you, you were running from pain. Someone had hurt you. You distrusted us all, because we had not given you a reason to trust us. I saw that pain in you. It had made you hard, but it also broke you. I believe that he was what you were running from." I cannot stop my trembling.
  5. Mentally I nod. In the depths of my mind I sigh. This will be painful for her, but I will keep no secrets from her. "I believe that I do daughter." I close my eyes as tears fall. Her pain stabs me. Though when I call her daughter my voice filed with love and pride. "He tried to harm you I believe. Winter had kidnapped you. Your brother at that point was a mental demon. Winter destroyed him for interfering with his plans for you." The memory brings iron to my voice. Ice fills my blood. "I came for you. I was too slow to stop him from taking you, but I came and faced demons of my own." I find the words jagged as they rip at my throat. I try to send love toward her, but I fear that I am failing. Cicestran watches. She reaches out to Nath, but is held back. Instead she places her arm on Fox's shoulder in an attempt to comfort her.
  6. In fact it was made into a musical. "Be our guest." @DramaQueen
  7. It's because I'm an old timer . That and I have a knack for the off the beaten track. If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah What a neat achievement that would be.
  8. Thank You to @Subvisual Haze for getting a screenshot of the text!! Of course not least thanks @Jofwu who posted this on reddit.
  9. We are running out of chapters sharders before the book is here. For tomorrow I think that we may as was noted above see the Lasting Integrity trip proposed and discussed. Perhaps Shallan will let slip to Adolin that there is more to it than the diplomatic aspect. That may cause him to suggest that he be allowed to go with her.
  10. Despite my exhaustion I rise up from Fox's mindscape for a moment. "Subtlety is the safest route. Though it is hard to say what we will do." I turn toward Fadran ignoring the newcomers. "I think it is best if I stay here to guard the boat. My injuries will hinder a quick attack and escape. I cannot speak for Fox though I also think that she might be best served by staying away from the front lines while she recovers." @Channelknight Fadran
  11. "My Friend the Doctor" @DramaQueen and only Drama Queen please.
  12. Kill Silent as a demon of the pits is the assassin that stalks his prey through a forest of rich emerald green. He lurks under the setting sand hides in twilight’s endless shadows. His prey is unaware of the assassin for he that stalks him is the king of assassins.
  13. City Scene The city bustles with caravans from the Far East and most western fringes of existence. But beyond the foothills that border the city an army is massing to slaughter them. They have come to plunder the fortune the city does possess. The peaceful city is unaware of their approaching destruction.
  14. You should. It contains some wonderful numbers.
  15. The waters rush onward smashing through the magics attempting to hold them back. They sparkle as they move uninterrupted. Blasts of water fly out and strike Vapor hard in the face. Rish watches quietly. Genuine love and joy replaces the wan smile on my lips with a true smile. My pain and exhaustion vanishes completely in the blink of an eye. A kind of love so unknown and strange fills me from head to "I know that you have a lot of questions. I can't promise to have answers, but I can promise to try and answer you as best I can. We never had the chance to talk in earnest now is our chance to do so." I focus for just a moment materializing a comfortable chair for my newly found daughter. I slump back a little, but my feelings never change.
  16. 1776 a wonderful musical about the events surrounding the events of july 4th 1776.
  17. Would you like me to tell you what it is?
  18. No? If I said "Mr. Adams dear Mr. Adams." Would that help?
  19. The landscape melts away. Rish and Vapor stand beside a waterfall that extends upward for eternity. Spraying mist glows in moonlight. The rhythmic sounds of the waters fill the air. Faint spices waft around them. "Power is meaningless without focus. You may hold vast creative powers, but if you cannot apply them correctly then they will destroy you and everything else." A simple copper cup appears in Rish's hand. Her voice is clear despite the crash of the falls. "I want you to stops the flow of the waters one thousand feet above where we stand and only in that sing foot span. I then want you to ascend there and fill this cup with the waters, before returning to me." She holds out the cup and lets go. It floats in place. I am exhausted beyond measure and I fail to hide it, but my love still floats from me in an aura which saturates the air. "You have been alone for so long Fox. You have friends now Fox, and a Family." My voice is a whisper, but it carries strength with it. "We have so much to speak of...." I trail off thinking carefully about what I am about to say. Courage burns with me as love grants me strength. "Daughter..." My strength deserts me as that word lingers in the air.
  20. I hear her weary words and I allow myself to descend into her mind. I cross our bond carefully and gingerly. I appear before her and collapse into a chair which I manifest in her mind. I sigh, but a smile forces its way onto my face. "Fox....." I force myself to take a deep breath. My body steadies itself. The twinges of pain go ignored. "Before we talk in length I want you to know all that I want for you is for you to be well. For as long as I have existed there have only been a few with whom I felt a connection. So few have I truly loved that when I lost the love of my long life. I thought that I was lost. Then you came along and I remembered how. You truly are the closest thing to a child that I have ever had." Hot tears pour forth. "I consider you to be a daughter even though in truth we have known each other for the blink of an eye. If you truly are well then all is well. If this demon is different then may it keep you as safe as I hope to." Circestran watches while remaining hidden in the shadows.
  21. Rish nods. "Very well." Rish reaches out and takes the sphere and encloses it in her fist. When she opens her hand a moment later it is gone. "I will hold on to this in case you change your mind. If you are ready, your training can truly begin."
  22. Nope. Has been to Hershey Pennsylvania.
  23. Nah!! Has read the man in the iron mask
  24. I know that you had meant to. However, I don't believe that you did. For Sunday "The Lees of Old Virginia" @DramaQueen
  25. In addition to yesterday's musical I will go back to one which has not yet made the list. "Close every door to me." @DramaQueen and only drama queen.
