i'll take a pint from that round. As well as tell my story. I was found after a few specific events. First I was found by the "other watchers", the Illuminati. I joined them...for a time. i suppose there's still a record of me being within their organization in their files. So i guess im technically still part of the group. But i was intrigued by a group who had led me down the rabbit hole, to discover a strange gate, with puzzles to decipher, and new abilities to gain, control, and master. The more i looked into it, the farther i went to find this group. Eventually, I found a man, with ties to the illu like myself. He spoke of another time, another place, another organization. The Black Watchmen. when asked about it, he pointed me in the direction of one of the agarthan portals and when i looked back after copying down the information, he had vanished. Then i ran to the portal, and joined in with a few others to become one of the Black Watchmen. after that, its been rather fun. trying to figure out all the different pathways and find all the rooms in the "office complex". ive gotten lost more than once. luckily im able to get back there and come here through the agarthan pathways.
Hm, now I feel almost compelled to explain myself. *Makes his way to the table, removing his russet leather coat, folding it over his arm - crusted matter along the seams hinting at his weapon of choice* I remember little from before. Or rather, I remember quite a bit, but none of the causal links match up anymore. I recall so much that I can safely say, that it would be inaccurate of me to say I was "found". *sits down, keeping the black cloth wrapped losely around his nose and mouth* It would be more apt to say I was recursed. While my mother was with the Dragon at some point, she was no longer active when I was born. I suspect this, because as much as I can feel my memories dissolving, I can clearly remember the faces of the Silent Monks, passing me by on the street on my way to school - and I assume that entails at least some closer-than-usual link with the Dragon. What few of these memories persist, tells me I was active within the Dragon at some point. I know former sets have found their way here, though as always, they prefer to remain unseen and unheard; letting the system unfold before them, rather than attempt to actively influence it. How exactly I happened upon The Black Watchmen, or vice versa, is equally blurry. For some reason, it feels as if they've always been a part of my life - much like the Silent Monks. Which is a comforting thought, as it's hard to imagine better Guardians than them. Perhaps this, too, is yet another derived recursion - luckily, observation has always been a passion of mine, so I'm looking forward to seeing what time will have to tell. *Neatly folds his coat on his lap as he leans back, tugging the black cloth further up around his lower face*
You're all on the path of Death. Wait for it. Your bodies will be buried, your names forgotten, your actions ignored. At the end, oblivion eats you, you dive into pure void and anihilation. And it is good.
I've gotten myself into trouble with the missus for flirting with the barmaid again. It's just those butterfly wings...
I think I'll take a page from you, Santiak, and tell my story as well. I believe I've already mentioned it somewhere else but I don't mind resharing it. I'm just a college student. I still am. But a couple of years ago something weird happened to me. I wish I could say it was just a hoax but it's real. It did happen and I'll swear on my life that it did. You see, back in the day, my family only owned one computer. We used it for schoolwork and for play. My siblings would spend much more time on it playing games than I would-I was more wrapped up in novels, stories, the written word.(I still am-I love me a good book even though I am more interested in technology and transmedia storytelling these days.) So, they would stay up until the late night and I would arise at the crack of dawn, around 7-8 am to play some games, look for new books to read, etc. One day, that I remember distinctly, was different. It was the second Saturday of June, in 2012. It was a pleasant morning. I woke up and went on the computer screen and on it was a link to a site. Though at the time, I had never heard of the Watchmen or what you all did. I, being a curious sort, clicked it. Took me to the origins of the Gate 33. I had absolutely no idea nor experience at this so I did what I could but stayed on the edge of things, as hidden as I possibly could. As time moved on and I entered college, I spent my time researching The Black Watchmen and coming to terms with what I could do in this....organization. My siblings swear they didn't put the link there. My father, the only other person who would use the computer that late, wasn't around at the time-gone on business. My mother would sleep early-she works herself to the bone every day. I'm here not just to help the Watchmen but to discover why I was even able to be a part of it. I am here to find answers. I'll probably end up finding more questions than answers however. I'm still learning what skills I can bring to the table-I'm no good at puzzles. I prefer dealing with and analyzing information-sort of like an Investigator. So, that's my story. It's goofy when you think about it-college student at day, Black Watchmen Operative at night-or whenever I'm called to do whatever it is I can. I look forward to working with you all. Oh, and I don't drink-someone else can have mine.
So! As a side project while we idle between papers and announcements, I've started nicknames for several IRC regulars: @Anashel - Anyanshel @MochiInvasion - Meowchiinvasion @Catalyst - KittyCatalyst @Telamir Asecret - telamew @Vomher - Vompurr @Momentary - Meowmentary ...you might be able to see a pattern if you dig hard enough.
so today this lady walks into the shop I work at with a shirt that says "can't stop me now" ..what I read was "can't stop meow" .. told her about it and the super troopers reference and I come home to this ... there are no coincidences I tell you... wait were you her??
Hey, how are you all doing? I have been off the grid a bit lately due to school/projects and other stuff. I am still super excited about this game though and I can't wait for all the black vans and people going through my notes being completely freaked out by what they are seeing.
eh. been better. im not good at vacations. With no work I have no motivation to do anything, and the weather is not beach weather.
The water here is still too cold as well presumably, but it's actually pretty hot. It's been a stressful few months for me, but after today I'm finished with this year. I managed to pass all my subjects as well. Now I'm just finding an internship.
Try living in Kentucky. The weather has been consistently above 90 and there isn't anywhere decent to swim for miles. This part of the world is not know for its pristine lakes.
