After Mira showed me what she was testing, I've added tweaks to guardians that should prevent the quirk in question from re-occurring. I hope everyone is frightened.

I remember when I saw an asian god.

Oriental was the adj if you must know.


I got really excited.

And then Big daddy D said it was just an OOC walk through and I got sad. B/c it was an asian god.

:cry:

Live where we tell you.

From now on you'll have no identifying marks of any kind.
You'll not stand out in any way.
Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter.
You're a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu and dismissed just as quickly.

You don't exist; you were never even born.
Anonymity is your name.
Silence your native tongue.
You're no longer part of the System.
You're above the System.
Over it. Beyond it.

We're "them."
We're "they."
We are the Men in Black.

A CERTAIN CABAL GUYs, I'M IMPORTANT, REALLY


This is the most awesome thing I will read this month. Joy does not express how happy I am to rediscover this again.

Dulrik's adjective really should be changed. There is no Orient in SK.

Traditionally the word Orient has also been used to refer to the lustrous quality of pearls and rising suns. The Old French, if I recall, helped contribute to the use of orient to literally refer to "east." You can see where the "Land of the Rising Sun" in the far east became associated with this meaning. The Latin oriens more closely speaks to this solar aspect, including oriri, meaning "to rise." And hallowed are the ori, so, there you go.

Dulrik is shiny.

On a metaphoric level, the fact that so many immortals are named after stars (I learned that the other day!) while Dulrik's appearance is resemblant of the chief of our heavenly spheres has a certain romantic appeal to it.

You bet he is!

"Shiny!"

Shameless Firefly reference.

Because, Joss Whedon is my master now.

Bleh, my husband made me watch the movie version of that and I was bored to tears. But I'm more of a book geek that happened to fall into SK almost by accident. I literally do not watch anime or play any other video games/computer games except for The Sims and Zoo Tycoon, and even then, only on occasion. I played Pokemon Yellow once or twice all the way through because I loved the cute little animal following me around. I

I also play Farmville :oops:
