The Big Pointy One

So far, it's going much like I imagined... close, but Bush is clinging ahead. Regardless, if I haven't said it already, good luck to all our American Pennites, not to mention the rest of the world, in regards to whoever wins... let's just hope the world doesn't lose... -.-;

They rode in uncomfortable silence for a few minutes, neither of them having anything to say right away. Alaeha was about to comment on the intricacies of the enchantments holding the carriage together when they suddenly ground to a halt. "...?" "Yeah, I'm okay. I wonder what happened..?" "..." "Okay, be careful though." Mr.Bunny went to peek through the window on the door, when an axe suddenly barged in through the wall and nearly sliced off all of Mr.B's whiskers. "..." "I think you're right. Are you ready?" "..." "Alright, carefully now..." Alaeha produced a knife out of *somewhere* within her clothing, although Mr.Bunny wasn't quite sure where. The carrot summoner prepared a few quick combat spells while Alaeha begun an enchanting song that would help the reflexes of the two assailees as they sprung out the door. As Alaeha went out, she sent a blast of force to clear the immediate area in front of the door and gripped her knife in a ready position with her other hand. Mr.Bunny leapt out quickly, sending a wave of razor-sharp carrot slices in a wide arc in front of him. The assailant who had tried to burst into the carriage with an axe was neatly sliced in half, although Mr.Bunny noticed something odd; the people attacking them were not people, but actually... "...potatoes?!?!" Alaeha blurted out increduously. A rather gruff-looking potato sporting thick plate mail, a spiked helmet, and a nasty looking spiked club stepped forward (if you could call it stepping) and addressed the pair. "Eh, this is potato territory, mates. Ye shudda known better than te be tresspassing 'round these parts, showing off yer fancy cerrots. Now I'm going to show ye'z all wot a real vegable kin do!" With that, he lunged forward, his club coming down rather quickly towards Alaeha's skull. The seasoned woman was ready to deflect the strike, although she realised it'd be pretty painful, since a knife isn't all that good at deflecting a club. Luckily though, Mr.Bunny was ready and at some point had hopped under the carriage and up onto his date's shoulder. Just before impact, a concentrated beam of carrot shot out from the air in front of Alaeha's face and intercepted the club. The beam continued on forward and knocked the potato half a block down the street. Unfortunately, this only seemed to anger the tough potato, since he climbed up rather easily. "Oh ho ho ho. So we've got a tricky little guy, do we? Aye, I think ye'll make a good addition to our carrot stew! Let's get 'em boys!" Both Mr.Bunny and Alaeha went into defensive positions, spells on the tips of their tongues, waiting for the right moment to strike. It seemed as if they were now surrounded, the carriage at their back...

Hrm, only caught the tail-end tonight, Master E... but that was some cool stuff ^.^ In any case, the mystery has been solved, for those of us, in the SK region of Canada, the show time is 8:00 - 10:00 pm ^.^

Well, I don't have much of an opinion on the election in general. All that I've noticed so far is that it's been all about how much Kerry and Bush can talk smack about each other, basically. But then again, that's most elections. In any case, I think it's going to be a close election, but in the end Bush will probably pull out enough votes for the win, although there will probably be another controversy of some sort like last time. To me, Kerry's campaign just seems to weak. Again, to me, it seems like his whole campaign is: "I'm not George Bush." I won't touch on the *actual* issues, because I don't know enough about them. Oh, and I find it funny how they get celebrities to come out to those rallying campaigns or whatever they are. Because you know, movie stars and actors in general are renowned for their political intelligence, especially people like Ben Afflect and Ashton Kutcher! Yikes. Anyways, hope I strayed from offending anyone there, just calling 'em as I see 'em. In any case, good luck to everyone in the States; may your voting be worthwhile (if you choose to vote) and may your president not be responsible for the destruction of the free world ;p (just kidding... or am I?)

I wonder if it'd be against the rules to have a whole bunch of people collaborate on such a story. You know, get a group together, and have each write X amount of pages where X = (Total amount of pages)/Number of writers ;p

Hey! Tam! You know wanna plaaaay.... I need an ally, and you were always better than I am ;p ...although I'm sitting around the top quarter, currently. DO IT!!! *evil laughter*

Joat! I never would have been here if it weren't for the fact that you went missing all those years ago! Get outta here! ...just kidding, of course. Good to see ya ^.^

Write about... Godzilla. And barbecue sauce. (Those were the first two things I looked at in my room. Go figure.) If I tried, I'd start by taking the beginning part of two of my stories and expanding big time. You know, use it as practice for writing an actual novel. The excuse that it doesn't have to be awesome would help me do it, I guess. The only thing I'm unsure about is what to write it with... although I could probably find that out by checking the website. Shmeh.

Of course, if you're really hardcore, you could try for quality as well...

That's what I thought, too... so I guess I'll be missing it tonight... accursed work. Well, eventually, I'll be doing early morning shifts, so I won't have to worry about it ^.^ Oh, and I downloaded the newest show last night, it's some good stuff, Wyv ^.^ That interview sounded kind of chaotic, though... ^.^' Heh, anyways, have fun tonight!

I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch the show tonight... although I'll do my best to do so. I'm sure you already have a list planned, but if I could be so bold as to make a request/suggestion, it'd be Nightlight by Aesop Rock ^.^ Of course, I don't know if that fits. In any case, have a fun show, hopefully I'll be able to check it out ^.^ {Edit: Katz or Tam, what time is the show in *our* time? I figured it out a couple weeks ago, but I lost it. I'm the most absent-minded of all! Mwuahahha! ...ahem...}

~Items~ The BigPointyStick Stick doesn't really have very man posessions, but the most important item in his collection is his namesake weapon, the BigPointyStick, as it is known among the simple folk. (It's true name is yet to be discovered..) Here for the first time shall be an indepth look at the mysterious weapon that has led Stick to his destiny. At first glance, it looks like nothing more than a simple quarterstaff with sharpened ends. It contains no decoration or additions of any sort. The first discovered properties of the BPS were number one: that it's really sharp at the ends, and number two: it can not be destroyed scratched or broken in any way shape or form. What Stick is yet to discover though, is that it has many more abilities within. The most notable is that with the right amount of concentration, the BPS can actually be changed into other forms that are made out of wood. Of course, when this happens, the overall mass of the BPS does not change, but the density does. Also, it can be compacted into smaller forms, like a club for example. However, stretching it out beyond the size and shape of its common form is a different matter. While it still can be stretched out and reshaped, it retains the same amount of volume. In other words, if he wanted to he could turn it into a thin rope, but it wouldn't be very usable after about 20 feet. Since it is a magical weapon of Nature's* design, it tends to be more effective in combat versus unnatural beings such as demons, undead, and in some cases golems and their like. The BPS is roughly about as long as Stick is tall (about six feet and a little bit) and only a mere inch in diameter. It weighs somewhere between 5 and 10 pounds. Other miscellaneous items Stick is known to favour various throwing weapons, most highly the kunai, which is (in our world) a Japanese throwing knife. It looks basically like a kite/diamond-shaped blade with a ring at the end of the short end. How many of these he carries, will forever remain a mystery. He also favours shurikens, and plain old throwing knives. At some point during his journeys, Stick happenned upon what could be considered the adventurer's best friend: a portable hole, or pocket dimension as they are sometimes called. Basically, he has a magical portal he can carry around in his pocket, or wherever he wants that opens to his own personal void-like dimension that can hold a castle's treasury worth of items. Aside from that, anything else Stick would have is not worth noting. He doesn't fight with anything but the BPS and throwing weapons, not to mention his bare hands and feet.

Good luck! Don't stress too hard! ^.^

*Thoughtful silence* Mm. I definitely feel what you're feeling there; I know exactly where you're coming from with this. I can definitely empathize with you here.

Mr.Bunny frowned as he stood in front of Alaeha's door. She had seem forgiving enough in the letter she had sent in response to his letter apologizing about his delay in setting up the date. The thing was, he had stumbled upon a remarkable break through in his arcane art of carrot summoning. It isn't every day that one is actually able to travel to the elemental plane of carrots and make it back alive! Not to mention to be able to bring back samples that remained upon the prime plane! In any case, he had finally finished all his research on his new discovery and here he was, decked out in his finest blue silk cape and black satin eyepatch in front of the door to the woman who had been kind enough to bid upon him at the bachelor auction. He took a deep breath and a step forward then knocked. He found kind of embarassing that he was nervous still, but he tried not to dwell on it. Within a few scant moments, the door opened up. Alaeha, who has prepared for Mr.Bunny's arrival, was already looking down for the rabbit with a friendly smile on her face. "Ah, Mr.Bunny! Just in time!" She was dressed in a light blue dress that was good for travelling, yet still elegant enough for the occasion as well as a lighter blue travelling cloak. "..." "Oh yes, those!" Alaeha ran back into her room for a moment, and returned wearing a set of highly fashionable Mr.Bunny ears. The clever carrot mage had sent along a pair with his original letter to Alaeha. Of course, these were no regular Mr.Bunny ears but in fact Mr.Bunny Translator ears. That way, they could have a normal conversation, as Alaeha was not currently versed in rabbit-speak. "You look lovely this evening." Mr.Bunny said, in an almost matter-of-factly way that was belied by a happy expression. "Thank you! That's a nice cape there, too." "Ah, I'd hoped you'd like it. In any case, shall we depart?" "But of course; lead on, gentle sir!" she said in a slightly humurous tone as she offered her arm to the little carrot mage. Mr.Bunny concentrated for a minute, then muttered a few arcane words. A carrot only slightly larger than Mr.Bunny materialized, hovering, in the air in front of the rabbit. He hopped onto it, willed it up to about Alaeha's shoulders, smiled, and started moving forward. Outside, a very intricate looking carriage made out of carrots drawn by a team of carrot horses was waiting. Mr.Bunny floated forward a bit faster, and willed the door open. He turned and bowed his head slightly, beckoning Alaeha to enter. She looked at the cart auspiciously for a moment, shrugged and climbed in. Mr.Bunny hopped in after her, and closed the door. "Intriguing," she said, "I would have imagined this to smell more like carrots, yet it seems... normal." If one could tell, they would notice Mr.Bunny blushing slightly, "Well, I've been working this for a while now. I guess my practice has paid off... I hope." he laughed nervously. Alaeha laughed lightly in response and patted Mr.Bunny on the head a few times, "It's lovely! So, where are we headed?" "Well, I thought since we both appreciate music in way or another, we could catch a symphony first, then grab a bite to eat at a little bistro I know of on the edge of town." "Sounds great!" So, Mr.Bunny was the old-school romantic type, was he? It seemed like the night not might turn out as exciting as she had hoped after all, but she'd wait and see what the little mage would have up his sleeve.

~Physical Description~ Stick is a tall and somewhat skinny man. He appears to be mostly human except for the fact that his ears seem to point slightly at the tips. To anyone that notices, his eyes are a deeper shade of green than that is found on most people. Recently, he has seemed to have grown a leaf just above and behind each ear after raising a tree for the Tavern. He has shoulder length brown hair that's fairly shaggy and unkempt most of the time. Most of the time he seems to be grinning, or about to grin, as if some prank of his is about to go off. In any case, most people that see him tend to notice how he generally looks like he's in a good mood. Thanks to a fair bit of training and experience, Stick has developed a remarkable dexterity. As for clothing and such, he prefers simple clothing in earthy colours like brown and green. Most often, he's wearing a loose-fitting pair of pants, and either a button up shirt and a tunic or just a loose-hanging vest. He usually prefers to go barefoot, unless he's travelling, or if it's really cold.

Hehehe, I realised *after* I had came up with my samurai, that he pretty much was Usagi Yojimbo... I don't have *too* much of a problem with that, except y'know... I try to be original and stuff... perhaps I'm not that original after all... heh. Go bunnies!

Mrm... I think I totally missed noticing something... did Mr.Bunny land a date? I don't think anyone notified me if it was going down... that, or I'm just blind or something. In any case, I'm going to double check... [Edit: so it seems I messed up, and Mr.Bunny's scheduled on a date with Alaeha...]

Eh, welcome to our ranks. Sorry about disturbing you in the Weenie Award thread. ...I just like bunnies is all. I have a character who needs a better name who happens to have the same basic traits (humanoid bunny) although he's a samurai. I also have a character who *looks* like a bunny, *talks* like a bunny, and does lots of other things like a bunny, but is also a master in the arts of carrot summoning. Hopefully we'll be able to write together in the future ^.^

Ah, thanks for the kindness ^.^ ...but yes, I'm back for good... or at least, the next four months until my lease expires... what happens then, I'm not sure yet... But for now, time to relax and get back to some fun stuff... or something... ^.^;

Ah, Black, my old comrade! It's good to see you around again ^.^ Good luck in your application phase! I'll look forward to seeing you around...

Still got room? I'll giv'r a shot, white was my fave ^.^ Edit: Anywhoo, I'm in. MrBunny's the name, ascendant's the game. I'm also here to take up the bottom rung on the guild ladder!

...and it's... DONE! Finally... ^.^'' *heaves a sigh of relief*

Latest Update: Well, I had some limited access for a while, as most of ye will know... I'm currently at my 'rents place, but I have finally secured my apaato. ^.^ Unfortunately, I haven't secured 'net access for various reasons, but if all goes well, I'll be looking at getting connected... ...anywhoo, just thought I'd give everyone a head's up again, in case anyone was curious as to my situation ;p

Mecha ninja bunny, who was completely armed to the teeth with...
