How to pause a Holywar. (briefly)

Teani · January 2014

Small background to this brief log

There's an ongoing Holywar between Dhar and Ivoln, and I'm not connected to either of them, nor do I wish to be involved. However, I can't help myself from reacting when the war is brought into a room I'm RPing in. So..

There I was, standing in Delos, talking to @Elwyn. It's in the middle of the summer, but someone recently made a nice blizzard to cover the ground with snow. @Haven is there as well, talking to Elwyn and I was getting kind of bored, so I made a snowball. Shortly after this, @Cariv enters, his ents start attacking me (as I'm enemied from before) and he calms them down.

A cloaked figure holds his arms out helplessly and says, "Sorry."

>>>>Cariv starts defiling.

With a smirk, you ask a cloaked figure, "Are all of them gone now?"

Elwyn taps her fingers along the silk of her pants as she contemplates Haven's words, her

own grey, stormy eyes staying on him. "Perhaps so. I will say that learning of His tenets

and what they meant resonated in me in a way nothing as since I was Hers," she admits

easily enough. "Hers was probably a...." she trials off, blinking at the attacks. "What

the pit."

A cloaked figure says, "Who, Dhar's weaklings?"

A cloaked figure taps his nose knowingly.

A cloaked figure says, "That's not the pit!"

A cloaked figure says, "Would you like to see?"

A cloaked figure bares his teeth in a feral grin.

Elwyn Taziyah says to a cloaked figure, "Go away."

A cloaked figure strokes a deck of Tarot cards tenderly.

"Shoo! Shoo!" Elwyn says as she waves a cloaked figure away.

Haven peers at a cloaked figure suspiciously.

A cloaked figure says to Elwyn Taziyah, "Don't be rude, or I will show you the pit."

A cloaked figure says, "I have business here, far more important than yours."

A cloaked figure stares implacably at a shrine of Dhar.

You say to a cloaked figure, "We're trying to have a peaceful conversation here. Please

get out of here."

Haven Locke of the Black Sun says to a cloaked figure, "Easy there now."

A cloaked figure says, "Have a peaceful conversation outside the warzone then."

A cloaked figure pats Haven in a friendly manner.

You smirk at a cloaked figure.

A cloaked figure says, "I might have to open a pit here, just for defensive reasons."

A cloaked figure says, "Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt."

You say to a cloaked figure, "Are you ordering us over to Delve? I'm fairly sure you

didn't."

A cloaked figure says, "I'm fairly sure I didn't."

Haven ponders the situation.

A cloaked figure points at Elwyn rudely. "This one annoyed me. And I was just going about

my business, even being polite about it."

You say, "Go take care of a different shrine then. Leave us to our business and you can

tend yours."

A cloaked figure says, "Are you trying to order off somewhere, now?"

Elwyn Taziyah says to a cloaked figure, "I've always annoyed you."

A cloaked figure says to Elwyn Taziyah, "Not so!"

A cloaked figure says to Elwyn Taziyah, "I had no issue with you ever, until...well right

that moment when you just shoo'd me!"

A cloaked figure says, "That was rather rude!"

A cloaked figure says, "Otherwise, I always thought you were alright."

You say to a cloaked figure, "I do believe you came in here infringing on our fun and

stuff, not the other way around."

You start wielding a round snowball in your right hand.

A cloaked figure stares implacably at you.

A cloaked figure says, "I wouldn't."

Taking aim, you draw back your arm and throw a round snowball at Cariv.

The snowball hits Cariv square in the face, leaving him wet and covered with snow.

You nod your head at yourself.

Elwyn Taziyah says to a cloaked figure, "Life has made me rude apparently..."

A cloaked figure wipes his face, his look turning extremely dark.

Elwyn gives you a pained sigh.

You say to a cloaked figure, "Please cool off."

A cloaked figure purses his lips pensively, gazing thoughtfully at some distant point.

A cloaked figure says, "I'll let it pass."

A cloaked figure says, "Next time, not so much."

A cloaked figure glares about himself, upset with the world.

A cloaked figure says, "Ever snowball me again, and I'll escort you personally into

Golgotha's playground."

A cloaked figure blinks vacantly, staring at nothing in particular.

Haven Locke of the Black Sun says to a cloaked figure, "Still the same 'ole Cariv."

A cloaked figure winks knowingly at Haven.

You have emoted: Teani kneels down and gathers more snow.

A cloaked figure says, "You trained me well!"

You reach down and scoop up a small pile of snow into your hands, carefully molding the

pliable material into a roughly spherical shape.

A cloaked figure says, "Anyway, lovely speaking with you all. I'll be back shortly to

finish this...thing off."

A cloaked figure nudges a shrine of Dhar suggestively.

A cloaked figure winks knowingly.

You have emoted: Teani hefts another snowball, looking contemplatively at a cloaked figure.

"That snowball was not meant for you, you know."

A cloaked figure says, "I have a star for you!"

Cariv pulls his arm back and then shoots it forward, throwing a tarot card high above him.

In the sky high above, you hear a high-pitched keening sound, and are appalled to see a

flaming meteor streaking towards the ground.

A cloaked figure says, "Voltda."

Haven's angel surrounds you with a protective shield.

Elwyn looks extremely annoyed by the goings on, shifting her weight from foot to foot.

Haven manages a small grunt with Cariv's departure before turning his sights on you. "Bold.

I'll give you that. That one has always been sharp around the edges and that's on a good

day."

You have emoted: Teani lets out a snort, returning her attention to Elwyn and Haven. After

a quick glance down at the ball in her hands, she shifts her eyes, a sheepish grin

spreading across her lips.

"Though if that ball wasn't meant for him..." Haven tilts his head slightly towards the

side before asking, "Who was it meant for?"

You say, "I, um... wasn't expecting it to work."

"He's always been cankerous," Elwyn notes, shaking her head a bit and letting out a breath.

You have emoted: "Eh.. what? Hm?" Teani closes her mouth, looking far from innocent,

almost hiding the hand behind her back again. "Oh, um... no one." Her voice rises to an

abnormally high pitch at the end.

-----

This is all followed by Elwyn departing and Teani winning a snowball war against Haven. Naturally the defilers returned and were not as easily scared off by the ongoing snowball war. @Ison didn't even flinch when I missed Haven and struck him in his face instead!
