Ariel.of.Narnia: *gets hands dirty*
Cardinal: I'm here, I'm here
Cardinal: I've come back! I'm alright!
Ariel.of.Narnia: Shut up, he's coming!
Cardinal: Ya know, I don't think you two have quite got the idea of this game.
Ariel.of.Narnia: Weren't you wondering where I was?
Cardinal: That's the point! That's why he was seeking you!
Sir-Edward: I've been gone for hours
Ariel.of.Narnia: Does this mean I win?
Cardinal: smiley-lol
Cardinal: *applauds both of you* very good
Ariel.of.Narnia: Lucy, the only wood in there is the back of the wardrobe.
Sir-William: One game at a time, Lu.
Cardinal: We don't all have your imagination
Sir-William: But I wasn't imagining!
Ariel.of.Narnia: That's enough, Lucy
Sir-William: *sticks in "I wouldn't lie about this!"*
Sir-William: Or was that afterwards
Sir-William: *thinks*
Cardinal: That's enough, Lucy
Cardinal: Well, I believe you!
Sir-William: You do?
Cardinal: Yeah! Didn't I tell you about the football field in the bathroom cupboards?
Ariel.of.Narnia: Now will you just stop?
Ariel.of.Narnia: Just have to make everything worse, don't you?
Sir-Edward: *storms off*
Cardinal: smiley-razz
Sir-William: It was just a joke
Sir-Edward: That part happens after that
Sir-Edward: The next quote or something
Ariel.of.Narnia: When are you going to learn to grow up?
Sir-Edward: Yeah, that one.
Sir-William: Shut up! You think you're Dad but you're not! *then storms off *
Ariel.of.Narnia: (Now you may storm off
)Cardinal: Well, that was nicely handled
Sir-William: Not to seem rude, but I wasn't actually talking to you
Ariel.of.Narnia: But it really was there...
Writer's Group begins ~
Cardinal: *bangs her gavel*
Ariel.of.Narnia: lol, Will
Sir-Edward: Writer’s Group shall come to order!
Sir-Edward: (Right?) o.0
Cardinal: Right.
Cardinal: Anyone bring anything to share?
Ariel.of.Narnia: Nope. Sorry, didn't have time to write this week.
Cardinal: Ditto.
Sir-Edward: I have a very small bit
Cardinal: I didn't have time to /anything/ this week.
Cardinal: Wonderful, Ed, fire away
Cardinal: Please note I forgot to read your last few weeks still...
Sir-Edward: Ok lol
Sir-Edward: Right then....
Sir-William: Do not take that tone with me, my good man. Now banter off and tell Baron Brumewell that Lord Clans Mc-donald and his lovely assistant have come to see the tapestries!
Cardinal: smiley-razz
Sir-Edward: The sounds of battle were earsplitting and Yerik strove to block it out as he staggered forward to where Stål, Liten, and a quickly reviving Besk waited for him to join them.
Sir-Edward: That was the last
Sir-Edward: Thing
Sir-Edward: Entry
Cardinal: smiley-razz
Cardinal: Ok
Sir-Edward shares ~
Sir-Edward: "We have to do something about this bridge!" Stål shouted over the din. "How do you get rid of a twoinchthick spider thread as tough as steel? Besk shouted back. “We could try to cut it,” suggested Liten, "That would take to long and we'd be dead long before we managed to chop through the thick webs." replied Stål. “So then what do we do?” implored Besk. Yerik joined in the conversation just then with his own idea, "We burn it!" He said with finality. And the three figures in front of him turned their heads to look at him, "That… might actually work!" Stål said thoughtfully, "but how do you burn something that sticky and wet?" A determined smile lit up Yerik's face and he pointed to the armory on the far side of the eastern wall. "With oil," he stated simply. Four faces lit up with grim smiles and Stål, Liten, Besk and Yerik took off at a run for the eastern wall armory. Stål got there first and quickly threw open the door to let Liten, Besk and Yerik run in and locate the oil barrels. They had only been searching for a few moments when Liten's voice broke the silence. "Found one!" Almost simultaneously Besk's voice echoed down the chamber behind them in triumph. "Found a few more!" a minute later four figures exited the armory each carrying a barrel on their shoulder. The familiar sounds of battle reached their ears as they approached the eastern wall once again. "Okay, here's the plan!" Yerik shouted over the noise, "We set these barrels endtoend in a straight line along the span of the bridge where it meets the wall!" Liten grinned mischievously and snickered. "Then we roll them down and watch the bridge burn?" Yerik returned the smile and started forward towards the bridge. "Precisely! Follow me." Four figures bent to lay their barrels down along the joint of the bridge just behind the line of soldiers still defending against the onrush of enemies still charging up the span of the bridge. General Lade had been informed of the plan and he was ready to do his part. Raising his sword up high, he called out a single command to his troops in his deep booming voice. "Part ranks!" in an instant, the welltrained soldiers parted through the center, leaving a space between them for Yerik, Besk, Liten, and Stål to roll their barrels to the edge of the bridge.
Then on Yerik's command, the four friends stabbed a hole in the tops of their barrels for the oil to leak out of as they rolled. "Volley!" Lade's voice pierced the cold night air like an knife as moments later, twenty barbed shafts thudded into the oncoming Berserkera warriors, clearing the way for Yerik and his friends. "Now!" Yerik yelled, and he and his friends ran as fast as they could for the edge of the wall where the bridge met the parapet, pushing the barrels in front of them. Then it was done. The barrels flew over the battlement and onto the bridge, rolling down the length of it, drenching it in thick, black oil. "Close ranks!" came Lades Command a moment later. The army on the wall top formed back into place just as Yerik and his friends retreated back, throwing a torch over the battlements as they did so. Yerik glanced back to see a glaring orange light appear over the Parapet, illuminating the dark landscape and blocking out the bright, full moon with dark, billowing smoke. A terrible hissing, crackling sound emanated from the burning bridge as it shriveled and disintegrated. Detaching from the wall and slowly floating downwards towards the ground as it dispersed into falling ashes.
Cardinal: Oooooooooooooh
Sir-Edward: That’s it
Sir-William: lol
Ariel.of.Narnia: Stop it with the cliffhangers!
Ariel.of.Narnia: Very good, Ed.
Sir-Edward: LOL
Cardinal: Niiiiiiiiiice
Ariel.of.Narnia: I just wonder if they'd really be silent while searching for the oil? But anyway
Cardinal: *nods and agrees with Ariel*
Sir-William: I was wondering how that little pixie could carry a barrel of oil. Unless, of course, it was just a smaller barrel
Cardinal: smiley-razz
Sir-William: He isn't a tiny fairy, but he is still much smaller than a human
Cardinal: Roll, roll roll your oil, gently to the bridge!
Ariel.of.Narnia: @Will: He's magic. I mean, he eats five times his weight.
Sir-William: Hahahaha
Sir-Edward: LOL
Cardinal: Burnt it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, la la la la la
Ariel.of.Narnia: lol
Sir-William: Heheh
Sir-Edward: Yerik's parody
Cardinal: Yup
Sir-Edward: Anybody else have anything?
Sir-Edward: If not, does that mean writer challenges?
Sir-William: I have zilch
Sir-Edward: Null
Cardinal: smiley-razz
Cardinal: Writing challenges?
Cardinal: We don't do those here.
Sir-Edward: smiley-razz
Ariel.of.Narnia: Pfffft
Cardinal: A couple things before we do that.
Cardinal: I'm going to be gone next weekend, aaand then on vacation for two more weeks
Cardinal: So Ariel's in charge.
Cardinal: I'd like to challenge each of you to write two hundred words each week so you have something to share
Cardinal: If you need writing prompts, I've got a fountain.
Sir-William: To hear is to obey
Cardinal: Good, some cooperation
Sir-William: O Cardinal of all Tisrocs

Ariel.of.Narnia: lol
Cardinal: Nice one
Sir-William: Hehe
Cardinal: William, you're in charge of logging those weeks, of course
Sir-William: lol
Sir-William: Who’s logging now?
Cardinal: You can email them to Ariel, and Ariel, can you get them to Nia?
Ariel.of.Narnia: @Will and Ed: Next week, I require you to come next week with samples of super sappy teen
angst and romance.
Cardinal: You'd better be.
Sir-William: Lol
Sir-Edward: *runs*
Sir-William: Well I haven't refreshed my page yet, so I can
Sir-William: @Ariel, haha
Ariel.of.Narnia: JK, Ed
Ariel.of.Narnia: I wouldn't do that to you guys.
Cardinal: smileyrazz
Cardinal: That'd be great, Will.
Cardinal: Alright, writing challenges.
Sir-William: Oh dear...
Cardinal: How about a ten minute writing sprint to work on any works in progress you have?
Ariel.of.Narnia: *is making pasties, so won't be participating*
Sir-Edward: Um..work in progresses
Sir-William: Cinnamon pasties?
Cardinal: ... Ariel... bad Ariel
Sir-William: lol
Ariel.of.Narnia: @Will: Beef and potato @Tenny: Yeah, yeah, sorry
Ariel.of.Narnia: But I have an order to fill.
Sir-William: Nice
Cardinal: Oohshiny
Cardinal: Or... we could do haikus
Cardinal: Three un-rhymed lines of five, seven, and fives syllables
Sir-Edward: Poetry isn't my strong point
Cardinal: Yes, Edward, that's why you practice
Sir-Edward: Oh dear…
Ariel.of.Narnia: @Ed: it's not mine either.
Sir-Edward: If you say so
Sir-William: Ok, shoot
Ariel.of.Narnia: Actually, now that I think of it... I could share something
Sir-Edward: Really?
Sir-William: lol
Ariel.of.Narnia: It's (ironically) a poem I wrote just before Good Friday
Cardinal: Share.
Cardinal:
Ariel.of.Narnia shares ~
Ariel.of.Narnia: It was inspired by a Christmas snow that fell that Thursday morning
Ariel.of.Narnia: It's called "Like Snow He Brings"
Ariel.of.Narnia: As I walked through town today,
I looked around my world and thought,
“The snow had melted and yet still
it falls on us as though it’d not,”
for white were black streets all,
and homes and cars and shops.
And it occurred to me:
’tis here a lesson wrought:
for though we build our towers tall
and grow our empires, crown our kings
and though we fight to keep the peace,
greet all with smiles, and share our things,
man cannot measure up.
Instead, like snow He brings,
the Lord washes us clean
and covers us with His wings.
So dead in sins – in darkness lost,
attired in shame, and slaves to pride –
our only hope was One who would,
Himself sinless, give up His life
and take our sins away.
But the tale ends not here,
for up He rose again:
He’s the Victor, He’s alive!
As I walked through town today,
I looked around, drank in the sight,
“The snow had melted and yet still
it fell on us all through the night.”
Whiter than snow we are
for we have been made right
with God our great Father
through Jesus the Christ!
Ariel.of.Narnia: Zee end
Sir-William: Wow, did you right that for Easter?
Ariel.of.Narnia: Yep
Sir-Edward: So you’re not that good at poetry, huh?
Sir-Edward: (Yeah RIGHT!)
Sir-William: lol
Cardinal: smiley-razz
Ariel.of.Narnia: I said it wasn't my strong point. This is the first time I've had any semblance of meter
Cardinal: Exactly, Edward
Sir-Edward: In that case, that was a REALLY good first try
Ariel.of.Narnia: Thanks! Except that I've attempted meter before and never managed it.
Ariel.of.Narnia: So you're seeing the light bulb after the 99 ways how not to make a light bulb.
Squirrel 6742798: *slips in*
Squirrel 6742798: (this is Berry)
Sir-Edward: Hey, Berry!
Ariel.of.Narnia: Hihi!
Squirrel 6742798: Hewwow, fwiends!
Cardinal: Hi, Berry
Squirrel 6742798: Who is Cardinal, Precious?
Squirrel 6742798: *hugtackles friends*
Ariel.of.Narnia: Uff!
Ariel.of.Narnia: Cardinal is Tenny.
Squirrel 6742798: Ah.
Sir-William shares ~
Sir-William: We all came to Writer's group,
That's right we came with haste.
And what we found, well, you will see,
Was much to our good taste.
For there we found great literature,
As never seen before.
And fauns to dance,
...And hop about,
To hear is to obey.
Ariel.of.Narnia: smiley-lol
Squirrel 6742798: The last three lines...?
Cardinal: smiley-razz
Sir-Edward: lol
Squirrel 6742798: Berry doesn't understand
Cardinal: *snickers*
Sir-William: It's called screwing up the meter, Barry
Cardinal: smiley-razz
Squirrel 6742798: (O.O Did he just call me Barry? O.O)
Ariel.of.Narnia: lol
Squirrel 6742798: I'M A GIRL
Sir-Edward: LOL
Squirrel 6742798: *tosses currently-blue hair*
Sir-William: Whoops *blushes*
Sir-Edward: Misspelling
Squirrel 6742798: smiley-razz
Sir-William: lol
Squirrel 6742798: Actually...my hair has faded from blue to green more recently
Cardinal: smiley-razz
Sir-William: A semblance of meter,
What a lovely thing.
It flits and floats about,
like flowers in the breeze.
But if you want to know meter goes,
It's 1 2 3 and 4.
Sir-William: +how
More General Nonsense ~
Ariel.of.Narnia: ... *note to self: take poetry lessons from Will on top of the humour ones...*

Squirrel 6742798: Should I?
Cardinal: I'll write on the road, so I'll try to bring back the ending to my Corin and Ilgamuth stories.
Squirrel 6742798: I have an idea for one
Cardinal: Fire ahead
Ariel.of.Narnia: Sure, Berry!
Ariel.of.Narnia: @Tenny: Nice

Squirrel 6742798: Haha
Ariel.of.Narnia: smileylol
Cardinal: And then decides she likes being blue-green better
Sir-William: She could swim?
Ariel.of.Narnia: She wants to stand out from normal-hair-coloured mermaids
