Well done, I say, well done. I also browsed the previous issues and found them amusing.


Amusingly enough, Makkal sent Tiberious an eve-mail from the dance last night complaining that he wasn't available.

Why the fuck do people still use photobucket? How the fuck do you get these doubtless wonderful images out of thumbnail view?

On the bottom right, there's a magnifying glass.

Those appear to be the full images though.

Try a different browser. Opera seems to work.

Thanks!

Also, what story is this lifted from? I'd swear that it's one of the Russian playwrights/authors, but the name and title is evading me:
Quote from: Kihtaled Park
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R32ZrcpVFkgnJXKrJyp3o-7UzHM3YkCeR15jvGC4Z44/edit

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man of fifty billion isk a year must be in want of a wife.

However ill known the views of any such man when entering the proper district on Khanid Prime, this truth is so widely accepted that in the minds of the Holder families, such a man is surely the property of one of their daughters.

"Mr Hanaya," said his wife to him one day. "Have you heard that Kihtaled Park is sold at last?"

Mr Hanaya replied that he had not.

"Aren't you interested to learn who?" asked his wife, accusingly.

Mr Hanaya replied that he was not.

"It is a Holder, Mr Hanaya! Lord Catillah, joined by his esteemed friend Lord Thessalonia.  Both men of some fifty billion ISK a year. There shall, no doubt, be an opportunity for you to visit him and introduce our daughters," she said indignantly.

"Why bother the poor fellow? They have none of them much to recommend them. Though I grant you Makkal has something of a quickness of mind about her."

"Mr Hanaya, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in tormenting me. Your poor daughters shall wither on the vine if you would not see fit to make arrangements for them to marry. Such wickedness!"

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Also the author of Mansfield Park.

Can't decide which is better, The return of the Princess series, or Gottii being in a relationship with Graelyn.

How about you lie down?

I'll call Gotti over. He can give you a relaxing massage to relieve the tension...

Tiberious providing a measured, calm and hilarious reading on OOC teamspeak last night only added to the awesomeness.  Thanks for bringing this to our attention on backstage Andreus!

Aww, I didn't get included! Clearly my character lacks the sex appeal to compete with modern goddesses like Scherezad. I need to step up my game.

Expect to see a new and improved Gwen with F-Cups and a dominating personality shortly.

Gwen used TROLL.

It's super effective! :lol:


In the event you're actually being serious, Gwen, don't. Seriously. ♥ Gwen just as she is.

Very glad to see these back, a new layer of IC teasing and character interaction can begin!

Being posted in an II book means you're open season, do some of you guys really feel bad you weren't added?  :twisted:

Bonekinis, anyone?

Does II frequent these forums? I recall people here wishing it would return.

And is there actually more written than just the first page?

I have to admit I'm somewhat disappointed that I never even got the first page of Wings of Glass... :)

I love these things.

Thinking about it. Given the style I wonder if Much Raker isn't an II alt? Not that I'd expect you to say either way.

I gotcha covered, Silver.

Quote
"I think I'm in danger of losing a lot around you, Ava," Silver murmured into her sweet shoulder. "My heart, for example."

Ava snorted in disbelief.

Silver snorted in disbelief as well, unable to fathom how he had written such crap. Not even ten months ago he had been flooded with ideas, inspiration buoyed by the flocks of lonely women leaving stores with his books clutched to their chests. But the praise had tapered off and been slowly replaced by a discontent murmur. When was the next book coming out? Could it possibly live up to his previous release?

He sighed and turned away from his computer to look out the window, restless gaze sweeping over the sleeping city below.

Silver had never doubted that he had drawn the winning lot in life. At 28 he was damned lucky to be a successful author, especially in a genre that was dominated by female writers. He had developed a wit and charm to complement his good looks, the women practically swooning at his feet. Not that they didn't do that already, he mused; the name Silver Corbett was whispered in reverence among the female population, usually followed by a giggle and one or two of his more raunchy lines. He had the world wrapped around his finger: fame, fortune, and droves of women vying for his attention.

And therein laid the problem.

He had been given the gift of privilege, and had earned a name for understanding the hearts of women. Silver Corbett was his own worst enemy because he didn't believe in love. Disillusioned, as his neighbor Aria would say. Disillusioned, jaded, and spoiled.

Silver continued to let his gaze roam over the midnight-covered city. Two months ago he had sat down to work on his latest novel a bit, and had floundered. The ideas had simply run dry, like a well that had been dipped into one too many times. He was a sensational author (if somewhat ironic for the fact that he never believed in what he wrote), already past two deadlines, and facing a writers' block the size of Boston.

It was time for a change.
