Soon to be added will be detailed descriptions of houses on the coven grounds, leaders of those houses and of course a few photos. If anyone wished to join the houses and story lines running around them, please shoot me an email at tigerlilykitty7@yahoo.com. Thank you. First house up......Mage house! Hope you guys like it!

Uh. RandomChatter. Wheeee. This OCC thread is sooo deaaad. D8 Itneedslife.

Miranda Branson · Date: 2011-09-24 01:24 EST

Well if it is so dead which it is then why not fix it. There are more members added to the coven and I am sure mini story lines will soon pop up. A few of which will be Angel and Bunny on top of Miranda's wedding/planning. Does any member have an idea for a mini story line they would like to try their hand at' If so please let me know at tigerlilykitty7@yahoo.com.

ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts there they are standing in the road, bum bum bumm. big ones small ones some the size of your head..... anywho to the point. how is everyone?

FioHelston · Date: 2011-10-12 08:55 EST

I just wanted to stop by and repeat my thank-yous of last evening, for anyone involved that Fio didn't get a chance to visit with at the Blood Moon play last night (or I didn't have opportunity to PM). I think everyone who attended had a great time. Thank you!

Ebon Ilnaren · Date: 2011-10-12 22:16 EST

I'll second that! It was great fun....especially the Great Water Balloon War! :D

Second Chances · Date: 2011-10-12 23:23 EST

I'm glad you guys had fun! I think it was rather enjoyable. Fi, Yasmin, Miranda, Lets do something like this again!

Yasmin · Date: 2011-10-13 21:12 EST

I already have plans on the next Bristle Crios event. I'm throwing around the idea of the Wolf Moon on Monday, January 9th, or the Snow Moon on Tuesday, February 7th. We'll be working on it. So stay tuned for more fun! Since it'll be a winter event, there won't be water balloons, but there may be snowball fights!

If you would like to contribute to the next Bristle Crios event or offer some activity suggestions and ideas, please PM the Bristle Crios Professional Party-er YASMIN!

Second Chances · Date: 2011-11-28 18:03 EST

My router broke I won't be on unless I'm at a friends house. D8 I'm sorry guys. Blame the siblings.

Yasmin · Date: 2012-02-08 19:19 EST

Thank you to everyone who supported Bristle Crios for the Snow Moon event on February 7th, 2012! We had almost 60 guests and over 30 guests at one time!

A special thanks to: Governor Fionna Helston for visiting our event! Duel Lily and Duel Sai for hosting magic duels for the Rings of Honor Duel of Magic! Andu Kirost for delivering our guests directly to the Bristle Crios grounds on his RhyDin train!

Check out the results of the duels here.

Lightfall · Date: 2012-02-22 10:53 EST

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain a little bird whispered something in my ear about a BC sponsored Duel coming up, DoS I believe?

Was just wondering if anyone could shed some more light on the subject, perhaps someone of the ....blue skinned fairy persuasion' :)

Yasmin · Date: 2012-02-23 02:10 EST

Did you just call me a fairy' Oh, no you did not!

Silent treatment from me...

...and I'm not even going to dignify your question with a response. Well, that silence didn't last long.

Miranda Branson · Date: 2012-02-23 02:12 EST

To answer your question Knightfall, the coven will be hosting a party duel event in Rings Of Honor. A date has not been set, but I am happy to announce that the duels will be swords! We will be working to not only make this event enjoyable for accomplished swordsmen, but for people who just wish to have a good time. Special rings will be created just as they were for the snow moon. There are more surprises to come! I will give you a hint. You might want to bring a pillow.

Lightfall · Date: 2012-02-23 07:09 EST

A pillow?? ugh, I sense spiked buttered rum in my future >.>; Must mean I'm going to need a place to pass out at a moments notice :p Seriously though, thanks Miranda :)

And yes, I so called Yas a fairy. ::grins:: In my defense, I'm a big White Wolf fan, and Fairies = Changelings, and ....I guess I kind of assumed between the lines :) You -have- to admit though, she doesn't have some cute tinkerbellish qualities in the pic :) Sooo, I'm sorry. But just saying. :) Its a fairly honest mistake ~.^

Miranda Branson · Date: 2012-02-23 15:45 EST

You're welcome Knightfall. I think you might have misunderstood though. I didn't mean you would need a pillow to pass out. There will be normal weapon fights such as swords, but for those who do not like blood, pain or being poked in general there will be pillow fights! Bra and panties match anyone? There will be more details to come, but I thought I should clear the air on that point. Bard of Cain as agreed to play bartender for our party again. I am sure she will come up with playful drinks for all.

If there are anymore general questions I can answer with out giving away all the tricks up our party planning sleeves, please send me a personal message and I will be happy to get back with you.

Kaius · Date: 2012-02-24 14:06 EST

As a matter of preamble, I'm going to say that I'm not sure how my character feels about pillow fighting in bras and panties, and is not even sure what cut he'll wear, but he'll give it a try. :D

Secondly, or ....primarily, as you read it, I was just wondering if anyone else deliberately listens to music or any kind of specific playlist when they're role playing their character, or even before hand as a type of ....mood stabilizer or something. The only reason I ask is that I do, because I find it helps me get my mindset into that of my character; I'll probably post some of the songs/artists, if there's any kind of response beyond 'what you talkin' bout 'foo?".

If there's anyone out there who has any feelings or input to this end, my curiosity welcomes your thoughts :) Not that I'm trying to rouse some sense of community withing BC by posting all this out of character flak but ....(yeah, that's largely, coupled with my curiosity as I said, doing).

Cheers, Kris

Miranda Branson · Date: 2012-02-24 17:44 EST

I find that Pandora lets me create enough stations to fit the mood of my character. Then again my music tastes then to be all over the map. Also for the last coven event we had playlists for the duels and sleigh rides. I think my top artists have floated around The Black Keys, Buddy Guy, Korn, Flogging Molly, Holly Brook, Renee Olstead and on a way out there note Chopin.

Happy Hunting!

Miranda

Nayun Takamine · Date: 2012-02-28 13:02 EST

Sorry if it's a little late. Just opened my profile and saw the icons. Wanted to say that the Winter event was pretty slick. Keep up the good work!

Rhiannon Brock · Date: 2012-03-03 07:56 EST

Thanks for the icons for Snow Moon & Snow Moon Dueling! :D

FioHelston · Date: 2012-03-10 08:49 EST

(( )) Just wanted to drop a note by and say an OOC thank you to the crew of Bristle Crios for hosting so many community events. While I can't give you duplicate icons every month when your characters get a public kudos (Fio'd go broke), that doesn't mean she appreciates it any less, or that I do.

Thanks for everything you're doing to support and encourage role-play here! <3

Miranda Branson · Date: 2012-04-04 02:52 EST

Hi Everyone!

It is done! Save the date for April 26th! The fights are on! Please see pillow fights for more information and soon you will be able to post your outfits and pillows for the event!

Locke DVestavio · Date: 2012-04-27 09:49 EST

Just wanted to drop by here and thank you for hosting the Pillow Fight event over on RoH last night. I had a great time, and, if the room counts are any indication, a lot of other people did too. Keep up the good work!

Locke-mun

Kruger · Date: 2012-04-28 13:49 EST

I had a great time at the pillow fight event. Props to the BC, and a shout out to Yasmin for the tunage. More please! No pressure but A.S.A.P. But really whenever you have time...you know like now. ::flashgrin::

D~ the mind that troubles Kruger.

Wanda · Date: 2012-05-01 08:31 EST

Hey guys, great job with the Event's and SLs.

:grin:

Btw, I wanted to drop off a tool you might find useful for chats.

Kalamere wrote a log viewer that has features like filters. Though I might pass along the word a bit.

Miranda Branson · Date: 2012-05-19 00:59 EST

Hey everyone one! I almost have the general layout of Rose Moon done. Including fun activities. For those of you doing or wishing to do anything for the event can you please send me a pm' I am more than willing to help you with images and anything special you wish for posting. Just trying to organize a bit and make it easy and fun on all of us. Rock on! Thanks!

Riley ORourke · Date: 2012-05-30 19:37 EST

Hi, there!

I have been so far remiss in bringing this to y'all's attention, but I think it is so incredibly fabulous how care you all are to credit the photos you use in posts. As a photographer who has found my work out there on other sites without proper credit and having to deal with the hassle of getting credited for my work or having the photos removed, I deeply appreciate you taking the time to do this. It's a very rare show of respect for the artist.

THANK YOU!!! :grin:

Yasmin · Date: 2012-06-05 02:33 EST

Rose Moon Thank You's

Thank you to the many, many guests and members that attended the Bristle Crios Rose Moon.

Thank you to the four of the five 2012 Gubernatorial candidates who attended the event: Audrey Horne, Fiona O"Neill, Kruger Allen, and the Governor herself, Fionna Helston Al-Amat.

Thank you to Kruger mun, who was kind enough to tell cultural stories at the event and engage not only our little ones, but us as well.

Thank you to Renna the Betrayer mun, who opened her Secret Garden to the public the night of the Rose Moon in honor of the event and showed us the beauty inside her, as well.

IC Congratulations to Kaius Arkennen Knightfall and Renna Egorwrath Bloodstone, who were engaged to be married in the Secret Garden during the Rose Moon. We wish them the best!

Lastly, but just as importantly, thank you for the Community Support. Without your love, our events would be merely pictures and words.

Mesteno · Date: 2012-06-05 09:28 EST

Just wanted to say good work to the party organisers. You guys are doing an awesome job. =]

Riley ORourke · Date: 2012-06-05 11:56 EST

Just wanted to say good work to the party organisers. You guys are doing an awesome job. =]

Yes, I'd like to echo this. I had a blast last night! Thanks for throwing a great bash!

Kaius · Date: 2012-06-11 11:13 EST

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, and....such,

Just thought I'd post a little something to explain my presence/absence over the last couple days, and the next few days to come.

Firstly, been involved in planting season here - farming, growing potatoes, that type of thing. That's the lesser.

Secondly, in about....half an hour from posting this, I'll be taking my week and some change overdue wife to the hospital to be induced - then here and there awaiting the newest addition of the Knightfall, er, my family. *smiles*

Anyways, since this is the only social network that I really care to be a part of at this point in my life, and I have a bunch of friends here ( that for the most part, I hope, would be you - the reader) I'll likely try to find some way to throw a pic up of her after she's born and settled and whatnot.

That all being said, Kaius, Kristoph, Kaiden, and any other handles I might be known under will be MIA for a couple of days at the least (for the most part anyways, I might get the chance to stop in by the weekend provided everything goes well).

To Fiona & Miranda-mun, and the friends I've made here at BC, I'll be in touch and back soon! Ugh, I shouldn't mention any names at all - there's too many, Nikia mun, Smoke mun, everyone at BC~!

To Renna-mun - hon, I think I must owe you a short book worth of posts by now, and hopefully I can get back into composing mode after I get back - like my wife, I fully intend to deliver *smile* ....hopefully with something that reforms Kaius from the puddle that Rennas proposal melted him into - and you're constantly in my thoughts until your own full return!

And to all the others that I'm constantly picking at and harassing (and having that dealt to me in turn!) I'll talk to you again shortly. :)

Much love to all of you!

Sincerely yours, Kris

This Dark One · Date: 2012-06-12 20:38 EST

Lot of Lu-love!

Miranda Branson · Date: 2012-06-13 00:24 EST

Blessings be to your ever growing family. You know we are here for you if you need us. Not to worry. Enjoy the thrill of being a new father and know that our thoughts and hearts are with you in this joyous moment.

H.K. · Date: 2012-06-13 18:17 EST

Gratz bro on the new addition...as opposed to New Edition because that would be ridiculous...what was I talking about' Oh RIGHT...The lack of sleep is worth it.

D~the other....nah can't be that easy.

Fiona ONeill · Date: 2012-06-13 22:39 EST

Take time for your daughter. You know I love her already.

Bristle Crios will hold its own til you get back, but we'll miss you while you're gone. You are an invaluable source of knowledge, role playing experience, and wisdom to Bristle Crios. Know that you are greatly appreciated.

Fiona will love Knightfall forever. :)

Issy · Date: 2012-06-19 13:31 EST

I have to thank Renna...

It was so refreshing to finally....FINALLY....be on the other end of a mind #&@%ing!

Good times!

Haxx · Date: 2012-06-23 00:17 EST

Tired of having nothing to do' Want some roleplay and looking for a bit of adventure" Unconcerned with the struggle of good and evil"

If your answer to the majority of these is yes, then shoot me a PM and we'll discuss something I'm trying to work on that I need help with.

Mercedes · Date: 2012-06-25 21:19 EST

Is there a particular place to respond to Mai Silverblood's playable about the swimsuits? I have a little idea I would like to post in reply. xD

Miranda Branson · Date: 2012-06-26 03:37 EST

Most of us use polyvore to create what we are wearing to events. Speaking of which the thread for the jello fights is open to outfit posting. If you need help feel free to ask or send Mai a personal message. I know her work is amazing!

Mercedes · Date: 2012-06-26 22:23 EST

Oh...I use Polyvore faithfully. I was just wanting to do an IC reply since that was a playable and rp something with it. :)

Thank you for responding.

Hello Everyone!

It has been a long time in the works, but I will be moving August 3rd and about 8 hours away from my current location. Sadly, I might not have a direct internet connection for one to two weeks.

However....

If anyone needs me please just send me a personal message and I will be notified on my cell phone. If you wish for a more direct chat then send me a personal message and I will give you my personal email and or yahoo instant messenger screen name.

If anything needs to be addressed quickly, please contact Fiona O'Neill or any of the other wonderful house leaders. I will do the best that I can and hope that my time away is no longer than a week.

Please take care, have fun, and I look forward to chatting with you soon.

Blessings Be

Marshall · Date: 2012-08-09 19:55 EST

So, I am not a computer genius at all, not even close. That being said, I fail at editing pictures, and I don't even know what can be changed on most. If someone has a bit of time and a bit of a desire to do so, I'd be most interested in a favor that involves the editing of a certain picture, I'd like most of the color changed. If that's an option, shoot me a pm if anyone wouldn't mind! Thanks! And sorry for being awol for like uhh...two months. Work is insanity in the summer, meh. I hope everyone is well!

Fiona ONeill · Date: 2012-08-10 10:13 EST

Hey Marshall,

It's a pleasure to have you back! I'm enjoying What's a badge really mean" and can't wait to read more.

I will be PMing you to see if I can help you change the color of your picture. I'll admit I'm no expert myself, but I can certainly try. I can do sizing and small amounts of color changes. I typically use Paint and IrfanView.

I highly recommend IrfanView to everyone. It's a free, downloadable program that you do not have to register to use. You can download it directly from download.cnet.com or www.brothersoft.com or other locations. I love it because you can create images with a transparent background. If anyone has any questions about IrfanView or editing images, feel free to PM me. I may not know the answer, but I'll try to help where I can.

Fiona ONeill · Date: 2012-08-31 21:49 EST

Time to stand up and be a Hero!

I was disappointed to hear that NCSOFT will be shutting down their successful game, City of Heroes.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this game and will be heartbroken if it dies. Many of my alts are played in Paragon City.

Me, too, except now it's only twelve days away! :cool:

Kruger, do you plan on narrating the entire Young Frankenstein movie? :shock:

Kruger · Date: 2012-10-18 00:28 EST

I will put as much as I can fit into the night. That is a lot of dialogue...and well my dancing leaves a lot to be desired....same with the singing..."Trying to look so much like Gary Cooper...SUPERDUPER"

Hehe ****ing werewolves! XD Brilliant read and I cannot wait for this months edition when it comes out!

NorseLady · Date: 2012-10-30 11:04 EST

Hello players of Bristle Crios,

I placed something for you on the DM board HERE, but also wanted to say thanks to all who made the Blood Moon Masqued Ball so much fun — in your folder, too! Just in case you didn't read the other one.

:cool:

Crowe Thorne · Date: 2012-10-30 11:20 EST

I tried so damn hard I stay awake to do it but the Might of Sleep managed to overwhelm me XD I think we should have some event more suitable for both sides of the world cause most of it is when the euros and beyond are sleeping! :D

NorseLady · Date: 2012-10-30 11:46 EST

Crowe player,

That does seem to be an ongoing problem, especially if something is held during the week days. I know events have been held at earlier hours (5pm or 6pm Eastern), but don't think many people showed up for them until later.

Arthour · Date: 2012-10-30 18:31 EST

I don't think enough people play on our side of the world to warrent a massive change in when these events are held to be honest, does kinda suck though since I ended up sleeping through my alarm and missed the whole Blood Moon event

Yasmin · Date: 2012-10-31 19:55 EST

BLOOD MOON 2012

Thank you to everyone who attended the second annual Bristle Crios Blood Moon! We had over 40 participating guests. Icons are on the way. Though we love the support, yall are gonna bankrupt our silver crowns. :P I doubt I'm supposed to say this, but donations to BC are always welcome, ICly and OOCly. Thanks to Marshall, The Redneck, and Max Eisenhardt for their donations. They are greatly appreciated.

A special congratulations to Shylah "Shy" Vulpecula, who won the Masked Blood Moon Contest and a big thank you to everyone in our contest!

I'd also like to thank Kruger for his rendition of the movie "Young Frankenstein?. It had us all laughing. Activities like that are always valued and help bring together the sense of community. If you would like to work with us during any of our Bristle Crios events, please let myself or the moderators know.

NorseLady · Date: 2012-11-04 01:45 EST

THANKS to everyone who voted for Shy's gown and mask!!

BIG HUGS, TOO! :grin:

I know it is a little bit late, but:

HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Look forward to causing mischief and mayhem with you again, next year.

These 1000 posts mean that if we work together, we can only accomplish more great things. Here's hoping to 1000 more.

If any of these dates are incorrect, if you would not like to be included, or if you would like to be included and I have not mentioned you, please let me know. Thanks.

To all members in Bristle Crios. In light of all the dates mentioned there is one more to add. As of December 18th, 2012 Morgan Doyle is no longer with us. He died bravely saving his fiance and daughter from a vampire named Bree. With the help of Fiona O'Neill and Kruger, Miranda and Angel are being well taken care of.

For more details please click Here

As always if you have any questions concerning this storyline please contact myself or Fiona O'Neill and we will be happy to help you in any way.

Merry Belated Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

I am so sorry for my absence as of late. With the blizzard that rolled through and work trying to kill me, coffee is failing me now a days. With the new year coming fast I hope to be around more often. In the mean time please enjoy the latest storyline Queen of the Coven. It has been a long time in the works.

Blessings with all my heart, Miranda

Arthour · Date: 2013-01-06 13:53 EST

I'm looking forward to latest event, and I'd like to thank the BC leaders for coming up with an event that fits better into the european timetable! Getting to start at 10pm, rather than 2am will make a nice change :).

Thanks again!

Fiona ONeill · Date: 2013-01-15 01:07 EST

With a new year, comes new achievements.

Congratulations to Renna The Betrayer and Kruger for their new "Old Wyrm' status. They achieved this honor by making over 300 posts!

Wonder how you rank up" A Wyrmling is anyone who makes 1 post. A Young Wyrm makes at least 15 posts. An Adult Wyrm creates 150 posts. An Old Wyrm completes 300 posts. An Ancient Wyrm finishes at least 600 posts. And last, a Great Wyrm creates at least 1200 posts. Read more about Ranks at http://rdi.dragonsmark.com/forums/viewtopic.php"t=240.

Also, a special congratulations to Miranda Branson and Yasmin for making over one hundred posts.

If I missed your Bristle Crios character making a posting achievement, please let me know and I'll be happy to include it.

*Passes out champagne for the adults and sparkling apple juice for those under age* Thank you, Miranda. I know we're not doing a big wedding on DM, just the reception. Still, I need Bridesmaids!!! So far I have Fiona as the Maid of Honor, Serine as a bridesmaid, and hopefully you!

Val · Date: 2013-02-07 02:08 EST

No big wedding? Val's wallet just sighed in relief, at least.

P.S Figure I should add, Art and Mai eloped on the 1st of Feb :D I will be posting it later today I hope

Miranda Branson · Date: 2013-02-07 10:17 EST

Oh Val. No big wedding just means the reception is twice if not three times bigger than average. *Grins*

Martyr, it would truly be an honor to be your bridesmaid. Thank you and if there is anything you need let me know. We can throw you one hell of a reception!

Art! *Shakes her head* It seems the wedding bells are going to keep ringing! Congrats! We are going to have to order more champagne and sparkling cider!

Blessing to you all as your lives continue to take new and interesting paths.

Miranda Branson · Date: 2013-02-07 11:39 EST

It has been a long time coming and of course Miranda is not one to sit still even if she is suppose too. Slowly formed into large metal placks, each crest gleams from the wall for all of the house to see. Each house now has their own crest along with a description. Small notes hand written to each of the house leaders thanking them for their hard work and dedication.

*Any questions on concerns please send me a message. Enjoy the new house crests!*

Ammy Spiritor · Date: 2013-02-07 15:29 EST

Many appologies for the lack of appearance both of Ammy and Lahan. I am away from role playing for little while. RL issues with medications and a few...we'll leave it as 'dark times' have come up. I'll be around in a week or so for interaction again hopefully.

P.S. The house crests look great Miranda!

Arthour · Date: 2013-02-07 16:27 EST

We love you anyway Ammy-Mun!

I hope these dark times past swiftly for you and the medication issues are sorted soon.

Val · Date: 2013-02-07 17:38 EST

His credit card always seems to go missing, anyhow. Surely Martyr wouldn't know anything about it, being the innocent little thing she claims.

Hey everyone, sorry I have not been around the past week, and it may continue on for some time, as my PC has suffered catastrophic damage when the liquid coolant ruptured again, and burnt out the mothetboard and the HD....Yeah.

Ruptured again? I just hope that you have a good warranty on that computer. This is the whole reason I'm sticking to a fan - I don't trust myself with liquid near electronics.

But see you when you get back, I suppose, and I wish you luck in it not happening again!

Just an update that I posted in the Lupinossai Den Folder, I am putting it here too since many of you rp with me as well.

Hello to all. I am still away from most rp still. Medication readjustments, evaluating depression and what may be causing it as well a becoming more active and exercising more has my schedule in complete chaos. You will see me when you see me on RDI.

F.Y.I. since I am working on weeding out depression and stress triggers expect me to ask questions about rps and sl's you want me in and why you want me. Don't feel offended if I tell you no. My health is a priority right now.

I wish to share something very brief. If you want more answers got to the Lupinosse Den and just read.

It is with a heavy heart that I have disbanded the Lupinossai group. Some of my Lupe chars will remain and still be played. But as of now, the Lupinossai are no longer on RDI anymore.

Thank you for your time. Hope to see you all in rp soon and I will get back to posting again soon.

I'v reading some of the other Fate story lines & I can't wait to read yours Martyr :) Just need to get home first and on my laptop, rather than read it on my phone :)

Ammy; Any decision would of course be between your self and the moderaters, but you'd be more than welcome to join Mage House if you want.

Fiona ONeill · Date: 2013-02-25 14:14 EST

May I ask permission to joing BC please. Somewhere to rest a tired soul. Let me start out by saying that I rarely respond to comments here because, well, I usually talk to you all live anyway and it'd seem redundant to me. But I, of course, have to respond to this immediately by saying"

Oh my gosh, Ammy! Of course you can join BC! I'm just honored I get to jump on it before Miranda read this. LOL. I just need to know what House you would like to be a part of so I can include you on the Member List. I'm sure I'll be talking to you soon.

Allow me to shamelessly plug our Member List. I mean, watch for Ammy's name to be added to our Member List below. http://rdi.dragonsmark.com/forums/viewtopic.php"t=18018

Okay. Okay. Geeze. No bloody noses over me or I'll lay you all out. Alchemy house then. Ammy does more alchemy and engineering than mage work and while shes a Lupinossai, she wasn't one to start with. Does that settle it' Smirk.

Sits back for a moment, looks at the field with a tactical eye. That wrist computer is tapped and the holoscreen comes up before him. "Let's see...Transporter room 3 get a lock on Ammy's signature and beam her directly to Alchemy House. Send a security team to watch the perimeter. I want level 6 containment fields on the room you beam her too...somebody get me my Mek'leth and my Plasma Rifle...Now. K'lar Out."

He looks to the wall and pulls down the stealth kit, attactches his grenade satchel and steps into view of the others. "You're all too late. The Lupe belongs to me!"

Last I saw the snowball scores were,

Alchemy house 1, Eternal house 1, but Mage house had 2!! We win.

In spite of it having been rather late last night, I really enjoyed the Snow Moon :) I had to be able to go to the next one when it comes around.

"No Kirk, I've hurt you, I've done more than I can ever achieve by killing you...And now I'm going to leave you there..." Not an exact quote, but I think it's about right H.K ;)

Thanks to you gals and guys who as usual host a great event. I was fortunate that my laptop held out for as long as it did. In terms of winning the snowball fight' Mage House may have won, but for best team I reckon Team RenDoranMag were the best of the best.

Also, sorry for the net death Kruger. I was enjoying the innuendo flirt off between smith and weapon.

Also, I want to say thanks to Fio and Miranda muns for giving me the opportunity to have Renna prove her worth by becoming Eternal House leader. I am honoured you think so highly of me to fill in that gap. I hope I can make ya guys proud.

Oh. And Martyr? Ponies. Must. Happen.

Fiona ONeill · Date: 2013-03-02 20:30 EST

Please check out the official thread, The Strange Case of Demons in the Old Temple District by Rakeesh. In the first post, there are many links and some general information to help get you up to speed on the Khul-din demons and their threats to the Old Temple district children. I hope to have lots of involvement with this SL and I thank Rakeesh, on behalf of BC, for letting us help him with his SL.

I would, personally, like to take a minute to say that I sincerely hope that all of the animosity that this SL has received IC is restricted to IC and is not reflected OOCly. This is merely a SL to allow people to play together. Sometimes people take things too seriously OOC and they forget that this is supposed to be fun. I may get some negative comments for even saying this, but my problem is that I already am and I do not like it. If people choose to play with the SL, please do and have fun. If people wish to have nothing to do with it, please ignore it and keep your hostilities to yourself.

On a separate note, due to the overwhelming number of Playables about the same topic, I wish everyone in the RDI community would be aware of the following rule about Playables. "Please do not post a new Playable as a reply to a previously posted Playable in the Playables folder. Doing this turns the Playable into an ongoing storyline and the Playables folder is NOT the place for storylines. Instead you need to post your reply (you can include a link to the Playable if you like) in one of the three general folders provided or if you have your own story folder you can post it there as those are the places for ongoing stories to be told."

Get involved in school!

The Academy of Bristle Crios would love the opportunity to work with other schools around Rhydin.

Let's offer our support and our ideas! Maybe some of our teachers would like to work with him on a teacher exchange program, or even a student exchange program to involve more students. This would not only encourage RPing with a wider variety of players and characters, but it would allow teachers an opportunity to reach more students and give students a wider variety of topics to learn. We could also work together on educational events and fundraisers with enough community support. Don't forget getting in on some action with competitive sporting and dueling events with his new school. The schools could even benefit from shared field trips to off campus learning sites. The Academy of Bristle Crios would love to hear any of your ideas as well!

Rakeesh · Date: 2013-03-12 16:16 EST

Hi folks. I'm just a visitor here, but I'd like to mirror Fio's encouragement for folks to get more involved in the SL posted as "The Strange Case of Demons in the Old Temple District". We've had a lot of really great interaction thus far, and it's really time to drive this particular SL home to whatever conclusion that might derive from it. If you have ideas and want to write, I'm an open book; just PM me and we'll work on it from there. The short subplot posted to that thread last week was done in about two hours by myself and the other player via Google Docs, and I'd be more than happy to work with others in this way.

I also really like what you folks are doing with Bristle Crios. Many attempts at Academies and schools have been made over the years, some of them great and others with less momentum ....I think you folks are doing some of the most detailed work that I've ever seen on RDI and am excited to be working alongside you with this storyline.

That's all. Thanks!

Arthour · Date: 2013-03-17 08:47 EST

I really need to get in touch with the others peoples in that SL, I tihnk it's about time we did a scene in Live Rakeesh, I'll get to you with details soon, hopefully.

Anyway, on behalf of the group, I'd like to say, thanks! I'm sure Blood Sisters-mun is very proud of the Academy. She's done a real good job getting the details together :)

Finally I am sorry iF many of you don't know exactly how strongly I feel for the setting and the coven members.

CU Soon

Miranda Branson · Date: 2013-03-18 10:27 EST

We know how much this coven and it's members mean to you and hope you know how much you mean to us. If there is anything you need please let me know. I'm happy to help in anyway I can, even if it is just to listen and give you a hug.

Second Chances · Date: 2013-03-19 00:16 EST

Be proud of me. I'm striving to be active here again! And Fiona. I love you. <3 And.....don't be surprised if there are some radical Changes with Nikia. I feel like she needs them.

Arthour · Date: 2013-03-19 14:44 EST

You know though if Mage House would conjure me up a decent joke I might be able to satasfy the dark side and the light side.

I'll give you your joke H.K....In trade for the Lupe. :D

Nikia! ::Waves:: You've changed your profile pic!

Bristle Crios Public Service Announcement

In March, two Bristle Crios muns were involved in vehicular collisions.

One suffered broken bones.

One rolled the vehicle.

Despite the fact that it is going to be April in a few days, winter weather and winter driving threats are still out there. Parts of the US and UK are still getting snow as we speak. Please check out these brief PSAs on winter driving, including Chaining Up, Driving Behind Snow Plows, Winter Vehicle Checks, Adjusting Driving in Winter, and Black Ice Safety at http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/COMM/pages/winter_psa.aspx

On behalf of Bristle Crios, please drive defensively, in any weather.

Stay safe and arrive alive. Edit March 28th: Consider this count up to three now. Please do not make me have to increase the tally again.

NightRunner · Date: 2013-03-27 18:06 EST

I apologise in advance if either I'm doing this wrong or got it in the wrong place.

So, ah...Hi, Bristle Crios.

I have a bit of a story arc I'm writing that will involve (hopefully) elements of "From the Deep" and "Forgetting Fate". That'll take place in a bit though, since I'm still on the prelude. And that prelude is kind of why I'm here. Titled Mortal Coils, I detail the escape and eventual finding of two newly, erm...unfortunately orphaned children during an assassination thing my Renne is undertaking. Long tale short: Evil monster just blasted the kids' folks, the kids got away and Renne needs to kill the evil monster, then get the kids somewhere safe.

Renne is most certainly not parent material. He's too young on many terms for one, and for another, his current job description is a bit....dangerous. So. I have an *extremely* basic status report of the two kids if any of you guys might be interested in fostering or adopting two NPC human kids.

The girl Name: Susprea (Surname unknown) Age: Three Race: Human

The boy Name: Unknown Age: Four months Race: Human

I'll get the next part of Mortal Coils done only if and/or when I hear from someone here, since the plan is right now, to get the kids back to the main Rhy'Din city and to Crios. Renne has another reason for coming to Crios, which will again, be detailed soon, but I didn't want to step on anyone's toes re: the two kids.

Hopefully I am doing this correctly, heh. Thanks!

Arthour · Date: 2013-03-28 04:58 EST

I think you did it right ;) sounds like a very interesting idea!!

DarkTides · Date: 2013-03-28 21:37 EST

Hello, kiddies!

With permission from Fiona I am posting a link

Here

It is an Easter hunt, can you follow the rules and catch up to her" Or will you get confused by the back tracking steps?

Martyr · Date: 2013-03-29 04:23 EST

Edit March 28th: Consider this count up to three now. Please do not make me have to increase the tally again.

In MY defense....That telephone pole just jumped out in front of me!

Arthour · Date: 2013-03-29 17:41 EST

Sure it did..Seriously though, I hope your okay, and the same goes to the others!

Second Chances · Date: 2013-04-01 14:12 EST

It's okay, Martyr, The creep into my path, while I'm walking! Always some kind of pole or wall does. >>

Storm Ravenlock · Date: 2013-04-01 15:03 EST

Yeah, the one who's car rolled is okay as well. Been in contact with that player. They did get checked out as a (wise) precaution.

Arthour · Date: 2013-04-01 15:23 EST

Thats good to hear!

Fiona ONeill · Date: 2013-04-01 15:44 EST

Yeah, the one who's car rolled is okay as well. Been in contact with that player. They did get checked out as a (wise) precaution. Thank you so much, Storm.

As a further update of our members who were in vehicular collisions in March, each only suffered minor cuts and bruises, save for the one who also suffered broken bones. Luckily, no others were harmed in the collisions. All are doing well and are still active in the Bristle Crios community and the RDI community.

Again, on behalf of Bristle Crios, please safe safe while driving.

Fiona ONeill · Date: 2013-04-01 20:59 EST

I must say I'm completely blown away with the lengths of some of our recent threads. All of the threads listed below were contributed to in March and have at least 20 replies, some as many as 65! Whether due to a singular effort or a contribution from many friends, you all continue to astound. I hope the rest of the RDI community is watching because we have a lot to say!

Valcroix gets confusing news Weighing of the Heart A Difference Through the Little Things Big Bad Wolf Realignment of mind, heart, magic and soul Rebuilding Fleet Bristle Crios' Nurse's Office 'The Art of Fire Magic' The Teachings of a Swordmage Sorry if I missed anyone. Just let me know and I'll add it here.

As we go into the new month, I would be honored to point out some fun opportunities for the BC community. I'd love to see some more involvement with Rakeesh's The Strange Case of Demons in the Old Temple District. I would also like to find a home for the two orphaned children in NightRunner's Mortal Coils. I also challenge everyone to follow DarkTides's Easter Egg Hunt. And don't forget to check out Lady Aja Bird's Playable calling for aid in cleaning up the harbor and the docks around Rhydin after the latest storm.

H.K. · Date: 2013-04-01 22:53 EST

You do understand all that first and formost Ammy is mine...I have all her stuff in her room and know where she will be coming home to.

Second, flipping the car was nothing like that time down in Quadra Sigma when the Borg were trying to send their drones back in time and change the Khitomer Accord...good times, good times. I even managed to be partially assimilated...I highly reccomend it.

Still thanks all for your concern and well wishes.

Arthour · Date: 2013-04-02 06:55 EST

Rakeesh · Date: 2013-04-02 11:39 EST

Thanks Fio! I'd definitely love to continue the SL. So far, several folks from Bristle Crios have contacted me initially, but nobody's followed through yet (which I understand). Arthour and I should be working together some time this week, like I did with Colleen on that first short story. I'm really just acting as a narrator at this point so that players can do whatever they'd like.

The "badness" of the situation in Old Temple's likely to ramp up if nothing's done, which I don't have a problem with either. It's entirely up to the players.

Arthour · Date: 2013-04-02 17:23 EST

Speaking of which! Rakeesh, I'll be adding your AIM username to my list shortly ;)

Unseen Killer · Date: 2013-04-02 19:38 EST

Well, it's official now. Many thanks to our glorious Headmistress, and be looking for Ripper's Literature lesson plan soon enough.

Second Chances · Date: 2013-04-03 15:35 EST

Hee. Good news! I finally have my laptop, working and functioning well, thanks to a real good friend of mine! I may....poke around at a few SLs. And do some posting on the forums.

And Art. You have Aim' I must add you. *Squints* Plus, it's good to hear that no one's been hurt since those incidents! Accidents can be nasty things.

Charles Blackstone · Date: 2013-04-03 17:22 EST

AIM...i can't aim worth crap.

Oh that AIM.

Yeah i has that.

Arthour · Date: 2013-04-03 17:53 EST

And Art. You have Aim' I must add you. *Squints* Plus, it's good to hear that no one's been hurt since those incidents! Accidents can be nasty things.

Mhmmmmm, I do! It's on my profile! ;) And it is!

Miranda Branson · Date: 2013-04-04 11:44 EST

It will be interesting to see what happens with your classes! I look forward to reading it! Oh! And welcome to the Academy Ripper!

Fiona ONeill · Date: 2013-04-05 02:45 EST

I wish to say to my fellow Star Trek fans

Happy 50 Year Pre-Anniversary of First Contact Day!

In the evening of April 5, 2063, a Vulcan survey ship, the T"Plana-Hath, landed in Bozeman, Montana, after tracking the warp signature of the Phoenix, a spacecraft created by Dr. Zefram Cochrane. "First Contact' was made between both races, with the Vulcan "V" hand sign and a simple shaking of hands, eventually leading to the formation of the United Federation of Planets. Read more about the Star Trek movie that followed that fateful day, "First Contact".

"Live long and prosper." " Solkar

"Thanks." " Zefram Cochrane

Arthour · Date: 2013-04-05 10:01 EST

Awesome.

Ammy Spiritor · Date: 2013-04-07 12:52 EST

Waves to all. Dang, I missed getting in on the Star Trek First Contact greetings. I loved that movie. Happy belated anniversary! Woo hoo.

On a small side note, if anyone is interested in seeing who Ammy really is, I've just finished compiling a snapshot biography of her to add to my attempts to get my own folder for her Alchemy shop. Feel free to take a look at AF: Snapshot Bio of Ammy L. Spiritor

P.S. Love all of you guys! Hugs all around.

Crowe Thorne · Date: 2013-04-07 13:00 EST

Woooo! Hugz! :D *Bear hugs Ammy*

Never really was the star trek fan, did like the modern ones but I'm guessing I'd be shot by some for that hah xD So yeh...Busy two weeks: Bowl of Evil, another sprinkle of evil, a dash of defeat and just letting the plan simmer and boil to a nice masterful plot with The Raven...

So being chilled now, might make a thread and may host a delightful party for the grand reopen ing of Crowe's Wondrous Weapon Stall! (If we don't have it, it ain't worth killing with it!)

Master of the Dice · Date: 2013-04-10 07:40 EST

Hello! Martyr-mun here! So a lot of people have told me that I should run a campaign and I never really got into it. I decided to try it out on here....I've run a few campaigns with many Bristle Crios Members. Started out as me just encouraging more play. It was fun, and I decided to actually start trying.

We did one last night and had a blast. You can read about it here.

I wanted to send out a thanks to all that joined in! Valcroix, of course who has always opted to try new things with me. Yasmin, who I might add is hillarious! I don't see her off the stage very often, but she came on and played with us tonight, and it really made me feel special. Juliet St. James, who was absolutely hilarious with her antics in the body-swapping bit. Minoko, who has not only become something of a partner to me, but a friend as well. Last but not least, Katan. Because everyone needs their stoner meat-sheild!

Anyways I had a lot of fun last night, I hope you guys did too. And I hope the rest of you have fun reading should you decide! There's definitely more to come, and PM Martyr if you're interested in joining the craziness!

Master of the Dice · Date: 2013-04-10 23:46 EST

I'd also like to add, that if you have your -own- campaign ideas that you would like me to run, I would be more than happy to do so! Just drop me a private message on Martyr and let me know your ideas along with great detail and a scedule and time that works for everyone.

Remember, details help me make your roleplay expirience better!

DarkTides · Date: 2013-04-12 23:25 EST

More posts forthcoming for the scavenger hunt, and From the Deep. Both are inter-connected.

Master of the Dice · Date: 2013-04-13 18:48 EST

I am proud to say that everyone made it through the trial-run of the campaign alive. I'm not so proud to say that the lack-of-system is flawed....

I'm going to do everything in my power to get this up, and running smoothly—this may entail character sheets. I'm working on a skeleton for them. Now, some stats will require you to roll the dice. Example: Health. To do this, you get the honor of going on a date with lovely little ole me to The Back Alley. This will ensure that everything is fair and documented.

If you are at all interested in joining a campaign, send a private message to this account, or Martyr's. Whichever is easier, I get on this one just as frequently as Martyr's now. For each campaign, I'm going to try and keep the number of players down to six or eight, because it will be very difficult for me to keep up with that many characters and ensure that everyone is heard and attended to"That being said, I'm doing "first come, first serve" for the party.

Another special thanks to everyone that joined! I had a blast doing it, and I can't wait for a better prepared campaign with a better system!

The idea for the next campaign, inspired by Katan, "Trapped inside a video game.? I'm going to have a lot of fun preparing it, and I hope whoever joins will have fun playing it!

Note: Look for the rest of the play in the Tricks of the Trials campaign thread! I'll have it up as soon as possible!

This Dark One · Date: 2013-04-15 18:15 EST

I have killed Renna off to a degree. I know this will make issues with standing storylines and issue, but those in the forums will resume as if she is alive. I am not withdrawing my membership from BC, nor am I doing it for SL purposes.

Again, standing SLs will be posted to, such as Fiona, who I owe a lot of posts, but other than that, I am no longer posting under Renna unless some significant thing happens.

As such, I am no longer the Eternal House Leader. Someone more deserving should take up the mantle.

Loves you all.
