Best Of
Absence and pain.
Hey everyone, most probably know by now but I have been going through a few different health issues. I had my wisdom tooth pulled and unfortunately a blood clot never formed and has led to me having dry socket. The tooth that was pulled had been impacted the past 9 years and the gums are not healing over the bone quite fast enough which has left me in what I can only describe as constant agony.
The pain has been going on for a bit over a month from before the tooth was extracted a week ago and it has made roleplaying extremely difficult for me to focus on so I have opted to simply be around only when absolutely necessary when in pain.
I try to be around as much as I can whenever I am not in pain and have time outside of my regular daily chores and taking care of my grandmother. I am not entirely sure how much longer this will go on but if what I read online is correct then it should be about another week or so.
I apologize to everyone who has had to wait on me for anything due to this but I've left the guild to be run by the others in leadership until I am able to function properly again. I will try to be around for a bit at least once a day

Re: Quotes & Misquotes: Falling Off of Bridges
I misprobed the mob I was talking to becuase there were to mobs with the "vampire" identity in the same room and the topmost one is a little girl, but the one I wanted to talk to is a man.
You have emoted: Looking up from one of the cases after Taj leaves, Tetchta wanders over to a tall, dark-haired
vampire. "You're that girl who sells flowers around here, aye?" He asks conversationally.
This Human man is rather clearly a vampire, making no efforts to conceal his pale skin or fangs. His clothes are
well-tailored but simple and a single skeleton flower has been tucked into the man's front pocket on his coat. The
basket in his hands is laden with a wide assortment of creepy-looking, odd-smelling flowers, the notable scent of
corpses and death overpowering the other scents. His hair is dark and short, his eyes a startling shade of blue.
A tall, dark-haired vampire looks weak and feeble.
He carries over ten weeks of survival experience.
A tall, dark-haired vampire ponders your profile, deep in consideration.
You say, "Oh. You're a man. Goodness, damn these eyes."
You tap your nose knowingly.
Slowly, a tall, dark-haired vampire says, "Might need those checked."
You utter a deep, rumbling laugh.
You say to a tall, dark-haired vampire, "They don't recruit us for our eyes or brains. They say ''ey, go smash that
blur over there.'"
Grinning, a tall, dark-haired vampire says, "Fair enough."

Exclusive figurine art
This is both a commission recon and pitch!
I dabble a little in figurine making and was curious to see if there is any interest for character figurines. These are made of alabaster plaster and polymer clay. The base figurine is roughly 240g (8.5oz) and 11cm (4.3").
Since I am but a happy amateur, smaller details such as jewelry can be difficult to add. The piece will come with a front and side view sketch, where we can discuss what the end product will look like. After that, the figure will be made, hardened and painted. Once finished, I will package it and let you know the price for shipping. I will also ask $10 extra for wings, since they usually mean a hefty addition of material.
I will begin with a limited edition, 5 figurines and I will ask $50 per piece, plus shipping. I will ask for the $50 in advance and the shipping cost once it's time to be shipped. Since they are quite heavy, shipping outside of the EU would be at most $44 (that's the price for a 1kg (2.2lbs) parcel), though the specific amount will be announced once the figurine is finished. It could be more, it could be less, I honestly don't know until the figurine is ready. I understand this is a hefty price, but with material and time, I believe it to be a fair price. I also want you to consider this price before asking for a figurine. If you don't want to pay the shipping, don't buy the figurine.
If you are interested, let me know below and I will get back to you. It's first come, first serve, though I do reserve the right to deny, should the character be too complicated for my skills. This is both for my own sake, and for yours. I don't want you wasting money on a product that might not be 100% satisfactory.
Here are a few pictures to show the process:
Sketch:
This is the sketch I made for Ayastia's figurine, which will be sent to her once I have the money for it!
Hardened, unpainted:
This is a figurine I have made for a friend of his company mascot, a hammerhead shark.
Finished product:
Ayastia's finished figurine.

Re: Quotes & Misquotes: Falling Off of Bridges
You say to Head Librarian Tegoleth, "Hello. Would it be suitable for a city to, hypothetically,
place a person in the pod in exchange for all of our fifteen items?"
Head Librarian Tegoleth frowns at you.
You say, "Going to take that as a no."
Quietly, Head Librarian Tegoleth says, "Hypothetically? Yes. Practically? I think not. They would
fit - it's not a question of size - but - a person?"
Slowly, you say, "I'm sure this person would have a fair amount of snacks stuffed into their pockets
to last for.. however long this pod will be sealed - which is how long again, exactly?"
Raising an eyebrow, Head Librarian Tegoleth says, "Ten years."
You suck thoughtfully on your teeth.
Head Librarian's Office.
Its lid askew, a large venantium pod stands here. With a calm visage, Head Librarian Tegoleth keeps
an eye on her surroundings. Its belly to the ground, a crocodile waits here with its jaws open,
baring that distinctive crocodile smile. An elk stands here proudly, its tall antlers jutting
upward. Bred for endurance and ferocity, a grey-furred direwolf stands here. A baleful raloth looms
here, tossing its great head back and forth in a display of strength. A small sign indicates that
LIBRARY CATALOG will list the materials in this library.
You see a single exit leading southwest.
Hesitantly, Head Librarian Tegoleth says, "Loath as I am to ask... why do you wish to package
someone up in a pod for ten years? Family trouble? Misbehaving child?"
You say, "Ah, but to ensure the wisdom this person possesses to uh, live on. For future
generations."
All attempts at humour seem to fall flat with the presence of Head Librarian Tegoleth's dull,
monotonous tone. "Still," she resumes in her typically no-nonsense manner. "Perhaps they ought to
write a book."
You open your mouth but say nothing.
Grumbling a bit, you say, "Alright, I guess.. Enorian will be back with fifteen or so items."
You huff.
(Tells): In a deep, gravelly voice, you impart to Isia, "It's a no-go on fitting Aeryx in there."
The faint tinges of a wry smile crease Head Librarian Tegoleth's mouth, though her eyes remain
composed. "I look forward to the donations."
(Tells): In a deep, gravelly voice, you impart to Isia, "Seems to be an issue of logistics when it
comes to snacks."
