    Night Two: Let him Live The Coalition (or not. No one wanted another coalition, though there were whispers) reeled in shock. Two of their number murdered in one night! Wilkin feared one of their number was a plant. “How else would Odium have known Orlok held a Shard?” He cried. The Stick spoke up. “I am a Stick! I am always a Stick. Exisa was a stick. Exisa is not a stick. Exisa like fire. Make Exisa into fire.” Everyone had to have a think about that, but once they had first deciphered Stick’s message, and then weighed up their options, they had to agree (even though Stick did the most unSticklike thing and changed its mind). Exisa would burn for the murder of their friends. They eventually tracked him down, catching up with him near the summit of a mountain on Nalthis. Second of the Sky spoke first. “We know what you did Exisa. And the fact that you’re all the way up here is proof! Why else would someone hide in these mountains?!” All present nodded in agreement. Maliss decided to give the man the opportunity to defend himself. “What do you have to say for yourself? Any last words?” Exisa cackled. “Tell Wilkin I’ll be seeing him shortly!” Then the man tipped over backwards, falling into a deep abyss. As they watched the insane man’s body fall, they could see hints of a glowing deep down. This was no mountain, this was a volcano! Wilkin was pottering around his garden, making sure all the flowers were fertilized and well-watered. It was a pleasant afternoon, and he wasn’t needed in the current proceedings of the 17th Shard. He finished up pruning a rose bush and then sat in a deck chair he had out the front of the house, sipping from a glass of cold water, and admiring his handy work. He had started to doze when he heard someone trampling through his rose garden. Wilkin instantly jumped to his feet. “Hey, stop that! You’re wrecking my gar….” A sharp, stabbing pain shot through him as he did so. He looked down. No wound. Looking up, he saw the corpse of Orlok step out of the rose bushes, sword drawn. It advanced towards Wilkin. The pain in his chest intensified, making him cry out. Orlok stopped in front of him, and saluted. Wilkin collapsed. As the pain continued to intensify, he whimpered. “Hhhelp. Mmmeee.” He felt a hand on his shoulder and then warmth, as the world faded to black. Wilkin woke slowly. Then he remembered what had happened and jumped to his feet. Looking around, he found he was right where he had fallen, only now Orlok’s corpse was at his feet. Now that he had the opportunity to look, he realized that the man had been made Lifeless, and had Ichor-Alcohol leaking from wounds in his arms from having walked through the rose bushes. I must have been poisoned, he realized. That was the only thing that could have explained it. I knew I shouldn’t have drunk that unmarked bottle that turned up in the mail yesterday. He would have to find out who had sent it. But why aren’t I dead…? It dawned on him that Orlok would have had residual Investiture from his time as Devotion. He checked the corpse. Nope. There’s not a trace of anything anymore. He must have used it up to heal me. Now he had two people to hunt down. The poisoner, and whoever had just saved his life. Vote tally: Alvron(1): Kipper Phattemer(1): Alvron, Mailliw, Honey Badger, Paranoid King Mailliw(1): Araris. Phattemer was Lynched. He was a Poisoner. little Wilson was poisoned, but survived due a lifeless. (Somehow. IF you have an idea for how that would work, please suggest it) Night 2 has begun, it will end at 9:00pm PST on Sunday the 6th. I've probably missed a lot of PM's, if you sent in orders for the day, please PM me again to ensure I saw them.

    Something just came up. I have no idea if I'll be home in time for writeup. Rollover will still be at 9 O'clock, (3 and a half hours from now)
  3. Jo and the Bush
    I'm being asked this way too much. As of this post, none of the shards have been passed on, and none of them are in danger of being passed on. They are all active in one way or another.
  4. Jo and the Bush
    And there has been an extension called for. This cycle will end in Twenty Four hours (And five minutes) From this post. EDIT: I'm going to bed. See y'all tomorrow.
  5. Jo and the Bush
    'Bout Fifteen minutes unless an extension is called.
  6. Jo and the Bush
    That wasn't in the original!

    >.< The shard of Ruin, when invested, will permanently grant a player the ability to Roleblock. Ruin's kill has been lost. Only Endowment can Kill.

    No. I just needed to be sure a 12 base system would actually be possible. Thanks for the help Seonid.
  9. Jo and the Bush
    Yeah that makes sense, i had something kinda like that, but what about the higher mathematics? What to things like Pie convert to? Do all the theorems still work out?
  10. Jo and the Bush
    If any of those things had happened, it would have been revealed that someone was attacked, but survived in the writeup.
  11. Jo and the Bush
    'Epic' Symphonic. Favorite Language besides English?

    Why does out numbering system have a base of ten? Because that's the number of fingers primitive humans had. Part of my story includes a long dead race that was similar to human, but had two opposable thumbs on each hand, for a total of 12 Fingers. Their number system would be base 12. Do you know how hard it is to convert base 10 Formula's into a base 12 number system? Because I don't. I literally cannot figure out how to convert mathematics into a base 12 system. Are there any mathematical geeks out there who could help me?
  13. Jo and the Bush

    Making a new number system. Only slightly harder than making a new language.

  14. Jo and the Bush
    Shards just have to invest the same cycle they use their shardic ability. Day or night doesn't really matter. Pretty sure I clarified that somewhere.
  15. Jo and the Bush
    I've been avoiding signing up for any more RP's, since I don't have the time, But I'm making time for this. I would love to do this. I'm fine with either system.
  16. Jo and the Bush
    The portland powells is really good about that. You only have to wait in line for about ten minutes once your row of seats is called. (Try for front Left. They always get signed first.)
  17. Jo and the Bush
    Gonna go with the Sun. Backlash Favorite comic?
  18. Jo and the Bush

    They changed the bus routes. I literally have to walk uphill both ways to school.

  19. Jo and the Bush
    . . . Storm it. Give me a minute. EDIT: Is anyone else not in a World PM? (Note that if it takes more than an hour for an expected PM to arrive, it means I missed you)

    Day 2: Loving Destruction. Cleo hummed as she put together the last bit of her prank. The Leo’s would never see this one coming. This would be great Payback for the eggs! All they had to do was drop off the noodles in the morning, and their victory in the prank war would be assured. Of course, she had to deal with the other War first. She walked down the hallway and knocked on Kae’s door. When the Inquisitor replied, she entered. Kae was sitting on the floor, glowing with a spectral red light, preparing her energies for the night to come. “You ready to go?” Kae rose into the air and smirked. “Of course. It’s time to destroy some people.” “Power me up” Kae reached out and grabbed Cleo’s hand, transferring some of the power to her. Enough power to kill a man or shatter a Shard. Whichever was needed. They left the room together, leaving the noodles behind for later. Before Cleo could open the door though, Kae stopped her. “Wha-” Cleo stopped as Kae covered her mouth and gestured to her ears. The inquisitor slowly pressed her ear to the door, and Cleo followed suit. There were scratching noises from outside. Someone was out there. Probably one of the Leo’s, pulling another prank. “No way” Cleo growled as she kicked the door open. “Not tonight Leo!” The door slammed into someone on the other side, and sent the figure sprawling backwards. It wasn’t a Leo. The figure scrambled backwards and pointed desperately at her. “Kill her! Quickly!” In Answer, howls sounded in the distance. “Kae, what is that?” Cleo stepped backwards into the manor house. “I don’t know. But it’s something Dangerous I’d bet.” There was a clattering, as if a pile of sticks was being thrown onto the ground, and a creature made entirely of bone hurtled out of the Darkness. It lept over its master and thrust it’s arm at Cleo. Before she could even react, she was thrown to the side as Kae tackled her. She scrambled to her feet and stared in horror at the length of Bone jutting out of Kae’s back. The Inquisitor moaned, but ripped the bone out and stood, panting for breath. “Run Cleo, I’ll hold it off!” The beast attacked again, and Kae blocked it’s swipe with her arm, losing more blood and letting out a howl of Pain and Rage. “Run!” Cleo turned and ran, not knowing where she was going, just desperate to get away from the screams and clattering of Bone on Steel. Finally, she couldn’t hear anything. She looked back, but couldn’t see anything. Was Kae alive? Was that creature still out there? Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, and gasped as the power Kae had given her was extinguished. Kae had been killed. The Shard was leaving! She fell to her knees in pain. Losing Kae, and the Power of Ruin at the same time was too much. She didn’t know what to do now. All she could do was cry. Her howls of loss filled the night, loud enough for all to hear, loud enough to mask the sound of bone on bone as something monstrous approached unheard. Orlok meditated, sitting in the D’Denir Gardens. It was a peaceful place, good for thinking or talking with allies. He had done much of both today, and was still thinking about who to Invest in. There were many suitable candidates, but who could be trusted? There were too many unknowns and newcomers. Too many people speaking honeyed words and lies. If only there were one that stood out among the rest. The bench shifted as someone sat down beside him. He opened his eyes and tilted his head to face the newcomer, then immediately jumped up and summoned the full might of his power. “Odium!” “Calm yourself Devotion, I just want to talk. Our shards have worked together in the past, why not renew that alliance?” “We executed the previous Devotion for her betrayal. One cannot be devoted to hatred.” How had he found him? It should have been impossible. “And yet, Cleo and Kae did so, and were rewarded for their efforts. They were made powerful, as you can be.” Orlok scowled, “You are nothing more than a liar Odium. I would never work with one such as you.” “Well then. Let’s see which is Stronger, Love or Hate?” Odium’s form exploded into a massive cloud of Smoke and Ash. Orlok dropped his own form, his physical body unnecessary in this conflict. He rose up as a orb of light, and shot power into the heart of the Cloud. It ripped a hole through it, but Odium payed it no heed as it surged forward, enveloping the light. Orlok struggled to cast back the darkness, but could feel it eating away at him. There was nothing he could do except make it cost as much as possible to be destroyed. So he fought back. The last sound he heard was malevolent Laughter. Winter Cloud was Ruin! Endowment has picked up Ruin. Orlok Tsubodai was Devotion! Devotion has been shattered. Day 2 has begun! It will end on Friday the 4th at 9:00 pm PST. PM's are still being sent out.
