That doesn't define an orgy. It just means it isn't Skaar's preferred kind. Still an orgy, so it has finally been provided.
*Grumble*
I haven't forgotten, you still owe me a dwarfish description.
Well that was a lot to catch up on. Sorry for disappearing yesterday, had a full day of other things to do. Posting momentarily.
It's allowed.
Oh dear, I fell asleep before I could buff you Skaar.
A la Archer: "Phrasing."
I'm sorry I haven't been around much either....taking care of mom has taken alot of time and completely wore me out. They are measuring her for her fitted brace, and talking about releasing her either today or tomorrow. I'm hoping for tomorrow....I loves my mom....but I really really need a break.
Re: The Orcs Orgy But...but he always seems to like getting sweaty while wrestling with other men?
I have been pondering what to call a group of orcs.
My first instinct was 'murder' but I'm thinking I like 'orgy' better.
Sorry about your mom. I hope they've got her on enough meds to kill the pain at least.
Mom and dad are gonna be staying with us for a few days until they are sure that the brace is working properly. I love them, I do...but my dad is already driving me insane. The pain isn't really the issue. That's what got us into this whole mess in the first place. She's....different...she doesn't feel pain like other people feel pain.
That's why they didn't do the xray when she first went to the dr cuz she told them she wasn't hurting, but felt like she just pulled a muscle. That's why I was so worried when she first told me about it.
There is nothing wrong with getting sweaty with other men. I can think of several things being right about it. ;-)
On a more serious note, spinal injuries are scary no matter how old you are. I hope she has a swift recovery.
a horde is probably correct, Skaar. But I also like a miasma and a confusion of orcs.
I couldn't imagine my parents living with me let alone my sick parents.
Just make sure Henry gets a chance to decompress and sleep. This whole thing is probably doubly stressful for him.
I like horde but horde sounds too organized.
Hmm. Miasma.
Well...my parents aren't both sick, my dad's just an ass. He's an impatient a%*+&*$ that never listens to anything anyone else has to say and wants everything his way, exactly when and how he wants it. Henry is NOT the one who could VERY easily snap and go on a F@*&ING killing spree. I however on the hand, damn well could and might if I don't get a chance to f%~#ing decompress my damn self.
Let's just say that there is NOTHING Skaar could do that would compare with the carnage I could reek if properly provoked.
Deep breaths....deep breaths....
Of course. Don’t forget to decompress yourself too.
Sometimes....that's alot easier said than done....especially right now...I've tried to stay strong and be calm...but, I'm about at the end of my rope. Lets just say...it's a very good thing that I can't get to Batesville right now. There are a few people who I would just love to rip apart right now. I'm so mad...at just everything. If they had done their job in the first place she probably wouldn't have a bone fragment lodged in her spine right now...but there's no point since it's already done. Now all we can do is try to move forward and hope that it repairs itself with the brace and PT and that she doesn't need to have surgery.
I...just...hate this.
What is it with the people in our family and falling?
Okay...it's okay. It's just the stress and lack of sleep talking. I need to stop hurting so much before trying to go to sleep though. Just took some ibuprofen, so maybe that will help.
I'm sooo tired, I think I'm just gonna lay down. The storm is a raging outside and I just don't think I can keep my peepers open any longer. I really really really need some sleep so I can deal with everything and not be like super psycho chick. That is not the Arista that ANYONE wants to see....ever.
Lack of sleep and high stress have a way of changing people.
Well...apparently I was sooo tired that I slept right through a text and a call from my sister. I need to be at the hospital at 9am in the morning to help her get mom into some actual clothes for when they come to fit the brace to her at supposedly 10am. They were supposed to be there this morning to take her measurements, but didn't get there till after 4pm this afternoon. That damn Epic sucks ass! My sister has been taking time off work for this as well and told her boss she wouldn't be in tomorrow until they get her fitted with it, so we are hoping they are there when they said they will be there.
I didn't wake up until 9:30 tonight...and I still feel groggy. I think killin me some Orcs though will make me feel better. >:oP
It doesn't matter what you call the damn Orcs because I'm gonna kill every last one of them. She has her reasons, and is not to be taken lightly or trifled with herself. They are not brothers to you Skaar, they are savages, pure and simple. There will be no reasoning with them, only death. So, get over it.
I know Rajni has her demons. I just hope we can work through them so we can help her with her quest.
Sorry about missing the map update. I moved to a new machine at work today and my links to things like google docs aren't all in place again yet.
And you will...but keep in mind that not every wound can be fixed so easily. You guys will get to know her more as this goes on...but for now you're just gonna have to accept that she can't help feel the way she does and killing these bastards is the only way she knows how to deal with what happened to her right now.
I'm okay with Rajni going all Rambo on occasion as long as she gives us a chance to help her through it.
LOL Okay, that's a deal. I know you like being the big protector and all, but you gotta realize you're not alone and we aint just gonna sit back and let s!*@ happen.
Skaar could definitely have communicated his plan in character, which would have cleared up some confusion. In Nicatha's mind, she was extending Skaar some trust given that she doesn't speak the language. It makes sense how Rajni, having met him yesterday, might not extend him the same trust.
Yup yup....plus ya'll will learn some more about her past later that will explain her 'all savage orcs must die' attitude.
Yeah, Skaar definitely should have explained the plan. He doesn't know you ladies like he knows the group back in Zhavroma.
'Challenge the Chieftain for ownership of the tribe' is a classic fantasy trope. I was just hoping to pull it off here. =P
Ugh... our automatic payment system just went down on a night where it's pay or get your services disconnected. Flood of phone calls now.
Always when you least need it to happen.
All X must die, is a little genocidal for my taste. Though not all responses to trauma are either rational or moral. It will be interesting to see how it develops.
That's awful, Sadhana. It's like you have distilled the perfect customer service nightmare.
@Skaar There would be no use in a challenge. They are savages and don't follow any kind of code. Even if you somehow defeated him, they would still kill you and probably not stop there. They are vicious killing machines, there is no compromise, only death.
@Sadhana, I hate that for you...hopefully it'll get better soon.
@Nicatha, It's the only way to deal with them. If you leave any alive, they just go get more and come back later. They are annoying and deadly like that. LOL
And it's a phone night, usually I'm handling emai/ chat tech support. Just had a customer who was on hold so long I answered to snoring on the other end.
I wish I could deal with snoring sometimes.
LOL....sorry, that is priceless though. I know how aggravating it can be to deal with that kind of stuff. Just hang in there, perhaps things will get better soon.
Well there was an extra 20 minute detour tacked on the end but I'm finally home from my 12.5 hour shift.
Arista/Rajni, are your comments in this thread about the orcs from Rajni's point of view or out of character commentary (I don't think Henry ever shared your real name with us)?
Yeah...I've been doing work at the hospital...just unpaid. When I was there taking care of my mom....I was doing everything for her, and I mean EVERYTHING. It was like working for free...but, I'll do that for family. It was way over 8 hours though, and I'm gonna make them my strawberry/lemon cake too. Mom said it sounded so yummy that I just gotta make it for her, except this time I'm gonna do it like a torte and cut the two cake in half to make 4 layers. Between each two layers is gonna be layers of strawberries so the cake can soak up their juices, then I'm just gonna put the icing inbetween the two layers, on the top and around the sides. I didn't want to try putting the strawberries on top again cuz I didn't want it to look like it was bleeding again. LOL
Yeah...when I post as Rajni and talk about the orc's, it's like coming from her perspective. But, you guys won't really understand her total disdain of their race or her reasons behind them until she feels able to open up a little more. With the way everything is happening though...that may not be long off.
Do you mean my real persons name? Like who I am really really?
Now I don't know whether to post this as Arista or Rajni, so I'll completely throw you off by posting as someone else entirely. hehehe I'm wicked that way.
We don't know Rajni's real past with the orcs but I'm sure it's terrible. I'm sure we'll find out a bit more after this encounter is over. The think the thing that keeps throwing us for a loop is your posting as Rajni in here when we're musing out of character.
Yeah, I was asking for your real name. I'm Nick. I assume Henry is Henry. It's cool if you don't want to disclose your real name on the internet. It makes some people uncomfortable.
My brother's name is Nick. Dislike.
I'm Jon.
There's that meanness!
Heya Jon. Is it short for Jonathan?
Okay...since we're all being open and everything...my name is Karen, it means pure, or pure of heart...but I tend to do things that are not so pure, or pure evil. hehehe Let me see if I can help you clear it up...when I post in here as Arista...I'm usually referring either to the icathia game, or just life stuff in general. When Rajni posts in here, it's in regards to stuff that's going on in shadows. I can be a very confusing person, often getting easily confused myself...but I didn't feel right posting about Orcs as Arista. Since these feelings stem from Rajni, I thought it best to post as Rajni....besides, there are other people who post as SEVERAL different people all the time in here. Phaedra Rose is my main thingy and I use very infrequently, and only when I'm confused as to whom I should be posting as. LOL Does that explanation help at all?
Is Nick short for Nicholas?
How I felt after my recent rolls in Shadows.
Yes, it does Karen. Thanks for explaining.
So all that stuff about the savage orcs having no honor and being beyond reason was Rajni's thinking - not Karen's necessarily. That makes total sense.
