OOC - Progress through 04/29/2007

The abbreviated version of what I did during the last week:

All of the Battle for Traddlebow stories published thus far have been reviewed and missing connections have been added.

I have started printing out the oldest stories and am going through them to start adding the missing connections.

If all you are interested in is the bare-bones of what I did within the world of Mernac, then stop reading. If you want to know more and have a little peek inside my world to get to know me, read on for the extended version.

*****

Found some older stories from Mernac that I had printed out awhile ago, so I decided to start there with reading for missing connections. Then went to the oldest of the legends beginning with Mootil and printed out a bunch of stories to read for missing connections.

Printer ran out of paper -- but continued to try printing. You would think that the printer would just stop instead of trying to keep printing like the paper was going to magically appear. It made such a racket I think my neighbors could hear it. And so one of the things that I learned this week is that my printer is stupid.

I also learned that peanut butter cups have a very low melting point. Who knew that leaving them in the car for 30 minutes during 80 degree weather would result in a rather disgusting mess? Not me, obviously.

Irritated that my peanut butter cups melted, I decided to start adding the missing connections and get on with things.

Got the missing connections added to Mootil, then lost the fight for the keyboard to my cat who insisted on walking on the keyboard. *sighs*

The Time Quickly Approaches

On Sunday, April 29, 2007, there will be an announcement made concerning Mernac. This news will be of great concern to all, I am sure, for Father Elsen's wind was used to carry the message.

I must go now, time flies quickly and I feel that there is much yet to be done!

Something is afoot in Mernac...

I can feel that there is change in the air. Fire is sensitive to the slightest breeze, and so it is that I can sense the slightest changes in Mernac. The Mother Siberlee is planning something, and Father Elsen is working with Father Barak to prepare the Fathers' Army.

Goran Tulkin, Father Elsen's other Disciple, seems to have dreamed about the changes coming to Mernac. Being an Earth Disciple makes his thoughts more coherent than mine could ever hope to be, so you should read his thoughts if you want to know more. All I know is that Mother Siberlee is worried by myself and Goran, and by Father Quont's recruitment of Disciples so She is planning to recruit some Disciples of Her own.

I must go now and work on connecting the scrolls of Mernac, for I feel that those connections will prove important in whatever changes are coming. Since Father Elsen will be kept away from His domain while He helps Father Barak, perhaps He will let me stay there for a few days...I hear it's a great place to relax.

So I took a day off

Yes, that's right, yesterday I decided not to go through scrolls looking for missing connections. Hey, even Disciples need a little time off and I wouldn't want to burn myself out. Haha, get it! Father Elsen gave me control over fire, don't want to 'burn myself out'? Never mind.

Anyway, I'll return to going through those scrolls tonight and finding all of those missing connections. I'm sure Father Elsen will forgive me for taking a little time to just wander Mernac.

More about me...

Perhaps I should tell you a bit more about myself. As a Disciple of the Father Elsen, I am the element of Fire. If you have read his story, then you already know that I exist purely as my element. How is it that I can post in this blog? Ahh, that is something not for mortals to know.

Many are asking the question, am I good or am I evil? The answer to that is not a simple one. I may be either, or neither, or both, for just like the Father I serve I am apathetic to both sides. My purpose is not to help the side of Light or the side of Dark, but simply to serve Elsen. Do not mistake apathy for neutrality, for if it will not hinder Elsen's plan I am prone to doing what serves the Fathers, especially Quont, Father of Lust. I serve Elsen first, but the fire of passion that burns in the bellies of the lustful is not all that different than the flames that are now my existence, after all.

A new hobby

I suppose I should tell you that in addition to wandering Mernac looking for missed connections, I have discovered a new joy -- creating bottles and stuffing critters, people, and anything else that I can inside of them. I am sure that Father Elsen will be most pleased when He learns of this new talent of mine, for if someone is annoying Him I can just stick the person inside a bottle!

Now I must finish creating a special bottle to hold Arleas, who is a Disciple of the Mother Terees. Don't worry, I'm not going to keep her trapped in the bottle forever and ever...although one of Mother Terees' Shadow Guard in a bottle would probably fetch a high price on the black market...hmm...

Welcome to my blog

Hello there happy people! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Vickie and I am a Disciple of the Father Elsen in the wonderful world of Mernac.

So what do I do? Well, I wander about Mernac looking for stories that are missing connections. You see, connections are what help the stories be understood...for instance, if you are reading a story and see a reference to Koomba Treats but you don't know what Koomba Treats are, you can just look at the list of Connections to the left side of the story and click on Koomba Treats. And voila! you now know what Koomba Treats are.

There's not much else that I can tell you right now, so I'd best be getting back to wandering Mernac finding all those missing connections!
