2014/12/20 23:43:31: can the HEADBUTT with horns get a cool death message? It's just using the generic cutting death message. Ideas: Stubbornly hard-headed, Moirean has rammed Toz to death with her horns.----- Alternative, Spirean-crowd-sourced-ideas: Toz has painfully discovered that Moirean's horns don't go there.//Toz has been gored to death by Moirean's horny butt.//Moirean's horny advances have conquered Toz.//Toz couldn't grab life by Moirean's horns.

Subj: The Endless Missing Souls of Unrequited Never Love
Once more love is lost, gone and beyond.
Dawning twilight from night to day.
Darkness beckons from this bottomless pond.
Order golem calm these ashes from clay.
Death, a massacre, a bloody mess.
Damp and cold, and endless fog.
Take my puppy, my pound of flesh.
Order hound calm but don't kick my dog.
My fog, my dog. My day, my clay.
Order ghoul attack me today.

Subj: I know the feeling
So long ago, I don't remember when
(because I'm Spirean and booze)
That's when they say I lost my only friend
(my special, special friend)
Well they said she died easy of a rotting heart disease
(like, rotted right into ooze)
As I listened through the cemetery trees
(hoplite hill, good place for an end)
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
(great spot to find some a nip)
The long broken arm of human law
(their fault for electing an Imp!)
Now it always seemed such a waste
(she rotted right into dust)
She always had a pretty face
(if you looked past the worms and stuff)
So I wondered how she hung around this place
(maybe cuz I'd raised her up...)
Heeeeeyyyyy...come on try a little
(passive and calm)
Nothing is forever
(it won't hurt for long)
There's got to be something better than
(attack, now, attack!)
In the middle
(...not me, stop, ack!)
But me and my ghoul, uh...
(relax my special friend)
We put it all together
(we're nearly at an end)
We can drive it home
(me and you, my ghoul)
With one torchliiiiiight
(without you, life's crueeeel)
Yes, one torchliiiiight...

Have you ever tasted love like this?
Cool and smooth
And have you ever been accepted unconditionally?
Have you ever loved someone
Who didn't hurt you
Didn't harm you?
There's no pain and there's no pressure
No verbal humiliation
There's no fear
There's no shame
There's no pulse, so is it so strange?

Subj: Ghoul's Song
"Ghoul's Song"
I never thought you'd die alone
You laughed the loudest who'd have known?
I traced my blood along my lips
No wonder you didn't say no, you were dead after all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine I didn't need to think
I'm not depressed at all
My ghoul, you'll never be gone
[Chorus:]
I never asked, always came
Mortality never held these better days
Days when I never felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
Enorian's raid was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till we got home
order ghoul calm To pass the time in my coffin with you
I knew I'd never be dead alone
Six months ago, I was all but unknown
I left all my things to all my friends
Then killed them so they'd never go in my room again
I closed it off, boarded it up
They tried to talk about when I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
I told them this was all mom's fault
[Chorus:]
I never asked, always came
Mortality never held these better days
Days when I never felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
Enorian's raid was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till we got home
order ghoul calm To pass the time in my coffin with you
I never asked, always came
Mortality never held these better days
Days when I never felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
Enorian's raid was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till we got home
order ghoul calm To pass the time in my coffin with you

To : Dominus, Prince Riluo Nebre'seir
Subj: Lament of the Spirean kind
I wake with a craving
So punishingly real
My head is just pounding
Room spinning like a wheel
I crack an eye open
And curse at the light
Who decided mornings
Had to be so damn bright?
I long for that passion
Of yesterday gone
When the night and laughter
Were cheering me on
When all things made sense
As they always should do
But that's only the case
When it's just me and you
I crawl out of bed
And shielding my eyes
I search through the room
For my precious prize
And lo and behold,
It's right within sight!
I scramble ahead
To make everything right.
It's the main remedy
For Spireans en masse
To meet up and brawl
With a drink in our glass
To quench our thirst
We'll go to great length
Pray none take away
Our Liquid Strength

Trees have dropped their leaves,
Clouds their waters
All this burden is killing me
Distance is covering your way,
Tears your memory
All this beauty is killing me

What should be lost is there
I fear I will never find anyone
I know my greatest pain is yet to come
Will we find each other in the dark
