You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.

Look at the pretty stars! They seem like two bats to me.

*Looks into the abyss.*

*Abyss looks back*

*Abyss runs away screaming for its mother*

Hmm, never seen it do that before.

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

mornin' Forsaken.

* dives headfirst into the mouth of the abyss

If the abyss is way out in the vacuum of space as the picture implies, can the pyre really burn? She needs oxygen around her. hmmmm

* runs around looking for a suit big enough to hold the prye out in space.

I was going to say something similar but couldn't get the wording right. I think you did it quite well.

I am ok, been better. Goin' through tough times/split with my wife (it seems to be the season for it) and workin' a lot. You've been doin' the same, if I recall correctly (the work, not the split). How're you ???

Not too bad, thanks. Missing the board. It's no fun when I can't be here!

I have a week off next week, which is good as I'll get a nice rest, but bad as I'll be away from the Internet. Still, I'm sooo looking forward to some time off. And just in time for Samhain too!

Sorry to hear about the split with your wife. I guess it is a season of endings and renewal, not that that helps at all when you're in the thick of it... Have a *hug* and I hope things get better for you soon.

*Looks into the mouth of the Abyss*

Hmmmm... Lots of gingivitus here. The Abyss needs to floss more often!

G'morning FORSAKEN! I haven't been around for a while, cause work has been crazy and when I'm off work it's worse!

Some good news though... Tina and I are getting back together. We've been talking about many, many serious things since we split up in August, and we've worked things out to where we both can be happy with being with each other.

We'll see in another few months if she's serious or not.

Anyway, HAPPY SAMHAIN everyone!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

A Pagan's "Halloween" Poem:
(Spoken to the rhythm of night before Xmas)

'Twas the evening of Samhain, and all through the place
were pagans preparing the ritual space.

The candles were set in the corners with care,
in hopes that the Watchtowers soon would be there.

We all had our robes on (as was habitual)
and had just settled down and were starting our ritual

When out on the porch there arose such a chorus
that we went to the door, and waiting there for us

Were children in costumes of various kinds
with visions of chocolate bright in their minds.

In all of our workings, we'd almost forgot,
but we had purchased candy (we'd purchased a LOT),

And so, as they flocked from all over the street,
they all got some chocolate or something else sweet.

We didn't think twice of delaying our rite,
Kids just don't have this much fun every night.

For hours they came, with the time-honored schtick
of giving a choice: a treat or a trick.

As is proper, the parents were there for the games,
Watching the children and calling their names.

"On Vader, On Leia, On Dexter and DeeDee,
On Xena, on Buffy, Casper and Tweety!

To the block of apartments on the neighboring road;
You'll get so much candy, you'll have to be TOWED!"

The volume of children eventually dropped,
and as it grew darker, it finally stopped.

But as we prepared to return to our rite,
One child more stepped out of the night.

She couldn't have been more than twelve or thirteen.
Her hair was deep red, and her robe forest green.

With a simple gold cord tying off at the waist.
She'd a staff in her hand and a smile on her face.

No makeup, nor mask, or accompanying kitsch,
so we asked who she was; she replied "I'm a witch.

And no, I don't fly through the sky on my broom;
I only use that thing for cleaning my room.

My magical powers aren't really that neat,
but I won't threaten tricks; I'll just ask for a treat."

We found it refreshing, so we gave incense cones,
A candle, a crystal, a few other stones,

And the rest of the candy (which might fill a van).
She turned to her father (a man dressed as Pan)

and laughed, "Yes, I know, Dad, it's past time for bed,"
and started to leave, but she first turned and said

"I'm sorry for further delaying your rite.
Blessed Samhain to all! Have a magical night!"

Morning, fellow Forsaken!

Wow...been awhile since I've been in a Forsaken thread...did not realize how much I missed y'all!

PaganPaul, good to see you! How have you been? It seems things are looking up for you...I'll be thinking good, happy thoughts for the two of you.

Happy Samhain to you, too!

Don't you get snarky with me, young lady. I had an unfortunate lapse between starting the new one and posting the link called "commuting home". (Same reason I only get 1 or 2 drinks served before I leave the Pub.) I'm bad on both accounts.

*Looks into the abyss with two eyes of burning coals (Sorry, NVG) and picks up mystical gemstone flung at him by PDCharles. Hisses "pretties! precious!" Visibly growing and sprouting bat-like wings from his back, losing all semblance of humanity, it roars!*
"Have a care! I have made my confession!! Back away, beauteous void. You'll not claim me today!"
*glances fearfully over shoulder for the abyss-tamer Nicodemus*
Oh, hi there.
*At once he is human again*

Sorry, PR. I'll *sniff* notify you and follow protocol next time...
Hi DTH. You mean that we have you back only to lose you again for a week?

Hello PaganPaul! Welcome back. Thanks for the Poem.

Nods to Tristan, RIMG. Feels like home today. Still missing a couple of regulars though. I'm sure they'll pop through.

Meh. Tired and sore today. Still more work to go, and a long weekend ahead.

Morning, All Forsaken in the Mouth of the Abyss.

RiverIsMyGoddess, sorry to hear that the wife has split.

PaganPaul, nice to hear that your wife came back.

Whimsicalnbrainpan, thanks for the breath mint. It has brought a pleasant smell to the place.

*starts dancing around the pyre when the mouth of the abyss starts to pull off clothes and sucks it away*

Hey, Nicodemus, what's with this gravitational anomaly that sucked off all of my clothes?
