I do not know what happened to our thread, but I have e-mailed Ziroc about it.
The last post was by Kaz, and it states
ooc...Kaz! Get our info. down before the whole thread is gone!!!

Kaz was using HTML tags to change her font color and in typeing "ghostwhite" she replaced the leading " with '. This led to some weird effects happening to the thread which I've fixed. I've gone in and edited her post. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

yeah...when I copied her post onto here, I saw that error, and fixed it when I pasted it onto this page. Wow...powerful stuff, those little ' s...

All right, I'll be careful with colors now http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif don't mind me, feeling a bit dpressed lately. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/crying.gif
Oh well... no reason for that to reflect here.
Where were we?

(Why are you feeling depressed Kaz?)

School. Need I say more? Somehow everything is going DOWN THE DRAIN there: we get far too much homework, the subject matter has become very difficult, I have a dozen long-term projects where I have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO, the teachers are worse than they ever were, I hardly understand anything at all, I http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/crying.gif am not feeling too well

I know how that feels, it's the same for me, just not quite as bad, close though, I hope it get's better, but remember two things:

1) If things are REALLY bad, at least they can't get much worse.

2) Smile! Life's too short for bitching(Borrowed from our dear Fljotsdale.).

ooc: I really need to get Deiter into the story more. I'm haveing problems on how to do that... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif Any help would be nice, I kinda suck at writing Roleplaying but it fun heh http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

-"How are the others doing?" He asked Killing Spree wondering on how his friends were."It's been awhile since I've seem them..." Deiter thought to himself as memorys of them came back.-

OOC: Oh, they can. I am not feeling too well tonight, of course, I'd probably feel better normally. I just found an online test for depression and got 84 out of 100 points (NOT GOOD). I think I wouldn't normally have gotten that many, I'm just... a bit... depressed http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

Could you give me the link to that thread Kaz? I'm beginning to feel a bit depressed myself, well, maybe you should just try to find some of the funny posts here on IW, they always cheer me up, try going to the BG2 forum and reading the "Dwarven Throwers: The lost art" thread, it's pretty funny, even though there are a few hostilities between Blademaster and a few others, but if you ignore them, you've got a hilarious thread.

To Deiter...You are deeply involved with Spree, like it or not. Your character is just fine, being the strong silent type. Just follow Spree's lead, and she will give you all the information you need. You're doing great! Remember that the sword you are carrying is 1/4 of the power we need to destroy Meldrin.

To Kaz...The only thing I can say is since you enjoy coming to the IW forum, and participating in our story, you apparently are using this place to escape the realities of the real life. Well, make something of your character! Have her be funny, aggresive, romantic, whatever! Use this place to the best of your writing abilities to have fun here. After this place gets you cheered up, then you will log off at night, with a smile on your face, and then the world will seem a little more better. Lose yourself in our make-believe world, and live something that all of us wish we could live, if but for an hour a day...and then see how you feel. I love this place, because I have so many friends that make me laugh and all. (by the way, Larry throws another pillow at kaz, knocking her backward into a water fountain for 2 dmg +1 water dmg. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Wait, digging it up. Here it is. According to that test, I need to get professional help quickly http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif not feeling too well, I guess... let's continue this in the SoS thread so as not to spam up this thread. It's empty there anyway
IC: <font color="ghostwhite">Kaz looked indignantly at Larry. "Why, you..." Grabbing the wet pillow, she hurled it into his face and wrung her robes out.</font>
OOC: Alright, the colors should work - please not another HTML error...

(ooc: http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif Don't worry Kaz! I personally DESPISE my LA teacher now, I did an AWESOME book report and she wrote on there: "Are these your words?" I was flippin' I tell ya. Taking points off MY work because I just happen to have a better vocabulary than half the idiots she teaches. GRUMBLE! I aspire (GASP BIG WORD!!) to be an author some day so I would WANT to have a good arsenal (ANOTHER BIG ONE! HEAD FOR THE HILLS!) of words. I wrote 'surly' and I lost points... And I only knew that word from playing BG2! RPG's teach language, not teachers! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif OK I'm done...
Deiter, as soon as we've slaughtered Meldrin and have the tavern up I have a sub plot for myself that will NEED your involvement beyond belief. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif No worries bud.)


~She steps aside, picking up her fallen sword.~ "They're fine... Though I suppose they'll start to get worried if we don't head back." ~Motions for him and starts to walk into the city.~ "Come on, they're probably back at the tavern."

ooc: Thanks guys http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

-Deiter quietly followed Killing Spree to where the others were. Walking in they saw Kaz throw a wet pillow at Larry."Heh looks like nothings changed."-

<font color="silver">Larry removes the pillow that had become a part of his face, and smirked at Kaz. </font>

<font color="white">"Now, why don't you try that with your dagger sometime? You have a good arm!"</font>

<font color="ghostwhite">"I have every intention to try that with my dagger - on Meldrin!" Kaz laughs while tucking her soaked hair back where it won't fall into her face.</font>

<font color="white">"Oh! Hi you two!"<font color="silver">Larry notices Spree and Deiter walking in, aparently happy</font>
We were..uh...practicing some techniques and stuff...you know..."</font>

-"Uh huh..." Deiter grinned at Larry then looked at all of them."Its great being able to see you all again."-

(ooc: *URP!* Snack of the day, sweetened dried cranberries. Mmmmmmm....)

~She rolls her eyes at Larry.~ "Tis an honorable trade; to be proficient in PILLOWS..." ~She laughs good-naturedly.~ "When are you going to turn two Larry?!"

Well, I'm not exactly proud to say it but I got a high score, and this is one of my good days, maybe if today I had felt more depressed than usual I could have got up to 90-ish and I'm quite surprised how severe that would be.
But, life goes on I suppose, I hope to get over it (I don't think school really helps does it, school is one MAJOR depression) http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

'What doesn't kill me makes me stronger'

<font color="white">"Yes...well...then shall we be off?
Are we ready to face Meldrin, or what?"</font>


OOC...Until Mistral gets online, we can just carry her char. along, and wait for her to show up to do the actual battle...if you like...

OOC: The depression test? I think I'll post a new thread concerning that. BTW, with 82 (my score) you get "seek professional help immediately" (no that's NOT my normal attitude!), I shudder to think of what a person with 100 would be like. New thread on its way!
BTW, I will be going offline in ten minutes - need my sleep!
<font color="ghostwhite">"Yes, let's go. He will come looking for us if we don't finish this now."</font>

(ooc: Itsa whatever to me! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif I wish she'd start calling her katana Shatter though... It gets confusing when you have Leafblade, Nightblade, AND Brightblade. Two's company, three's a crowd!)

~She smirks (cuz you know she loves to http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif) at Larry speaking in a sarcastic tone.~ "Well I doubt you can kill him with a pillow..." ~She laughs and continues warily, her eyes darting to Deiter.~ "But THIS time we go together."

(ooc: Once again, my friends, I am here.... for a while at least http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/xyxwave.gif )

It's 4 o'clock in the morning in Asia? What in the world are you doing here??? BTW, this is the first time all five of us have been in the thread together! Wow!

-Deiter laughed at the thought of Larry killing Meldrin with a pillow. He then looked over at Killing Spree"Aye, this time will all go together."-

------------------


" If you are guided by the stars, you will only be able to travel by night. If you are guided by a map, you will be dependant on a piece of paper that is easily lost. If you are guided by your soul, you will always choose the right path."

<font color="silver">Larry begins looking for that little rock that will open the portal...</font>

<font color="white">"Deiter...where is it???"</font>

~She looks at Deiter through the corner of her eye, grabbing the back of his head playfully then speaking philisophically.~ "I need to put a leash on you..." ~She looks around at the rest of her comrades.~ "Shall we be off then?" ~She picks the portal stone up from the floor and tosses it at Larry.~

(ooc: Phooey!! Another heavy downpour... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif )

~ Finally, she looks back at her other companions. Her eyelids flicker as she takes in the scene. Kaz with a pillow yet again... Spree and Deiter as always... Larry, being the centre of attention as usual... ~ Why can't I shake off this sense of loneliness? ~ ...

~ She turns to Spree. ~ "When this is over, you are more than welcome to have Brightblade." ~

(ooc: You want to fight now?! I've only 20 minutes left here before breakfast and going off to work...

Kaz - I've been waking up in the middle of the night 2-3 times these few days. Beginning to be a habit. Now I wonder why... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif )

And I am going to bed in ten minutes - again http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif however, if I don't leave, please make me, I have been getting FAR too little sleep lately (between 5 and 7 hours per day, over a period of weeks)

(ooc: Kaz, you need not be at the fight with Meldrin. May be a good time for you to go grab your sleep now... just for consideration http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif)

Others - Hope you don't mind waiting for me to be online again about 2-3 hours from now, so that we can have a proper fight. Anything I do now will be too rushed and probably mediocre.)

OOC: Okay, Good night! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ drag my character along if you want.

ooc...tell me when to be here, and I will be here. But you better all be here!!

<font color="silver">Larry, not wanting to wait any longer, and completly ignoring his previous comments about not rushing into things...(on thread #2 that Kaz killed,)http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif, Larry steps through the portal.</font>

<font color="silver">Kaz grabs up the stone next and runs into the portal before giving it a second thought. The rock falls to the floor for the next recepient.</font>

(ooc: Well, I usually reach office by board time 7.40 pm. See u guys/gals then)

~ Not waiting for a reply from Spree, she enters the portal as well... ~

<font color="silver">On the other side of the portal, Larry helped Mistral and Kaz get through the water tunnnel, and they now find themselves in Meldrin's throne-room.
Meldrin has ordered his guards to surround these three and be on the alert for two more to be on the way.</font>

<font color="white">"Hey! Mellie-boy!
We're back!
Did you miss us?"</font>

~She looks at Deiter.~ "See you on the other side." ~She steps through the portal.~

~On the other side she inhales the clean water, waiting fishily for Deiter.~

-Deiter walks through the portal, standing next to Killing Spree he looks around from where there standing.-
