GODDAMN STUPID MOUSE.

WHY IS THERE A DELETE POST BUTTON ON MY MOUSE.

WHY!?

*seething hatred*

It will be a while before I can rewrite that... I need to go do laundry.

Update: The buttons have been destroyed. They will bother me no longer. And for those who'd say something like "use a notepad program", yes, I probably should have. I've had these buttons delete my work there as well, but at least thats usually recoverable... except for when they crash the program, which seems to happen occasionally.

Didn't your mouse come with software to let you set the buttons to do something different? my crappy logitech did.

Yeah, I know what having the turn deleted does for your enthusiasm. Never heard of a mouse with a delete everything button, but I guess if they make them with number pads they must be out there.

It's actually a browser control button in firefox, that sends the page back. Which deletes everything. and its on the bottom side of the mouse, which means its constantly getting bumped and doing stuff. Not the worse mouse I've ever had... It has weird effects in other programs. And the software only works on windows.

Accidental back button presses suck. Unless you have Google Chrome or Opera. They handle it intelligently and repopulate fields when you go back to the page by hitting forward.

Okay, to regain my lost momentum, I'm simply going to summarize what happened in my last round of posts. Noone had any successes, potential unlocks, or skill gains, so it will be pretty straightforward.
Several characters DID get experience, though.
Hopefully, this will give me back my momentum, and I'll only end up missing one day, really (I wouldn't post on weekends anyways)

IronyOwl succeeded quite well at summoning up a bit of wind and gliding to the farm area. After scaring the locals, a man astride a horse, yelling for the men to get back to work, rode up next to him and asked where his tool was, to find it and to get back to work before he got the nine-tails.

eclipsetail ran forward, dove forward towards the lake... and found himself jerked upwards before he hit the water. Something thick and sticky and strong has attached itself to his torso, and is dragging him upwards in fits and starts.

Blackdutchie failed to pull backflips, and then closed his eyes to concentrate on turning his hair pink. When he opened them again, he was knee-deep in snow next to an armoured battle walrus, surrounded by sounds of battle.

SHADOWdump got bored, and tried to imagine the most crazy awesome thing he could. When he opened his eyes, he was riding an enormous battle walrus, leading a large army into a frantic battle in a vast frozen wasteland. He is wielding a gigantic battle axe, and smoking a cigar.

Evergod41 flew towards the internal sun, and noticed it was surrounded by a field of much smaller lights. There were also a number of blimps scooping up stargas, and the sun itself didn't feel hot. He could also see something deep inside, but couldn't make it out. He was distracted by a number of helicopters, one of which announced on a loudspeaker that the strange flying being that just destroyed the McMallian house and killed all occupants should land peacefully and submit himself to their authority.

Diablous arrived in the future city. Flying cars above, a mass of barely human mishmashes of technology and bio-engineering below. Floating camera bots are everywhere, and in point of fact one is slowly flying towards him right now blinking a blue light.

Burst into cheerful song as I assemble several farmers into a berserk meat golem.

Make it a cheerful song, too. Something about how wonderful magic is.

eclipsetail does nothing.
eclipsetail, curious as to where he could be going, decides to do nothing, letting the yanks and tugs of the heavy thread drag him towards the star-scape of the cavern's ceiling. As he goes higher and higher, he realizes he's rapidly approaching one of the now enormous glowing spots.

eclipsetail has encountered a Rapacious Glowworm!
As he nears the thing, he sees in the sickly green light a colossal worm with a glowing tail, nearly 9 feet long and thicker around than he is. The worm is pulling up the thread with wicked looking talons at the edge of short stubby arms. But he's sees his fate too late to escape. The creature is reaching for him now, and he twists and turn away from the reaching arms...
Rolls a... 2
but the creature has him, drags him towards it, grabs him even as he frees himself from the sticky strand. There is a sharp stab of pain, and then he feels his muscles begin to contract and tighten. He feels the sharp claws of the creature moving over his immobile body, working it over somehow. Suddenly, strands of darkness fall across his locked open eyes, and then he feels nothing at all.
eclipsetail takes 2 points of damage.
eclipsetail is paralyzed
eclipsetail is cocooned.

Diablous waves at the camera bot.
The camera bot stares at him for a little while. Finally, a small red light begins to blink, and a sound comes from it.
"Citizen, your biometric identification chip appears to be malfunctioning. Please remove your mask so that you can be properly identified."
Diablous notices a small crowd is gathering around, though he hasn't yet seen anything that's really worthy all that much attention...

Evergod41 attempts to turn into King Kong and start smashing things.
Rolls a... 4
Evergod41 concentrates a bit, tuning out the helicopters while he focuses on channeling his newfound powers in a slightly different way. When he opens them again, he's not a huge monkey like he wanted to be, but he can feel raw strength pouring through his veins. The helicopters let out another warning, and you rush towards the first of them, spinning as you do, delivering a solid kick to the side of the vehicle. It's knocked sideways through the air, the huge dent in its side clearly having damaged something important as the engine sputters and the black machine falls away towards the ground.
Evergod41 hears the cracking of lightning to his side, and turns just in time to see the muzzle flashes of another helicopters weaponry.
Rolls a... 3
He dives sideways through the air. A bullet grazes him, but he ignores the pain.
Evergod41 takes 2 points of damage!
He turns sharply, climbs a bit, the helicopters firing on him as he pulls away, before turning and diving towards them. He bursts into flame, channeling the power of his Meteor Dive.
Rolls a... 3
He crashes through one of the helicopters, contuing on far faster than they can keep up, diving on towards the ground. These... mere people have the audacity to challenge HIM!
He'd show them.
Rolls a... 6
As Evergod41 reaches the city outskirts he was aiming for, he pulls up sharply, not slowing for an instant or losing any of his momentum as he crashes through a warehouse leaving only a smoldering crater behind him. And then he throws his arms wide, his flames flying outwards, forming great wings of fire and force, and as he tears down a city street those wings bisect the buildings to his left and right, toppling them and causing untold havoc.
Eventually, his power and momentum from the dive runs low, and he comes to a stop hanging over a ruined intersection. He notices now a number of new helicopters approaching from all directions, and there's a distant rumbling in the streets. A dozen blocks away, the first of the tanks rounds a corner and takes aim at him.
Evergod41 has increased the power of a secret skill! During a meteor dive, he can spread out fiery wings of destruction

SHADOWdump smokes. A lot. He attempts to blind his enemies in a smoke cloud.
Rolls a... 5
With a heft draw on his cigar and a huge puff, SHADOWdump quickly fills the battlefield with smoke. As he does so, he strides forwarding, swinging his huge weapon, using the tusks of his mount to gore those he passes that survive the swipe of his axe.
Rolls a... 5
Through the haze, he cuts down dozens of confused enemies, plowing forward.
Finally, the smoke clears to reveal the havoc he has left behind him. But the enemy is not defeated yet - these were merely drafted peasants, cannon fodder. That cracking sound, though...
With a great snap and heave, the ice under a large portion of SHADOWdump's troops gives way, sending them flying through the air. An large chunk of ice comes flying towards SHADOWdump himself...
Rolls a... 4
While the block misses him, the force of the impact less than a foot from his mount causes it to rear up, knocking him to the ground.
SHADOWdump takes 1 point of damage!
As he climbs back onto his warbeast, calming it with soothing words, he looks up to see the nightmare that has emerged from the ice...

Blackdutchie tries to take charge of the army battling SHADOWdump's.
Rolls a... 6
The octopus that burst from the ice is destroying squads of SHADOWdump's troops with every sweep of its tentacled arms, and astride it, a flash of pink hair, blowing in the cold breeze of the battlefield. The glint of steel, as he raises his arm, adorned with a sharp single claw blade, towards the skies and lets loose a mighty battle cry.
A wave of creatures boil forth from the new water, pouring through the gap in the ice. Humanoid creatures, barely, but with tentacled faces, armored, and with lobster claws for arms.

As they rush forward, SHADOWdump rallies his troops to him and races to meet them.


Meanwhile, in a country field...
IronyOwl bursts into cheerful song as he assembles several farmers into a berserk meat golem.
Rolls a... 6 to gather magical energy
As the man on the horse repeats his question, pulling out his whip, IronyOwl begins to hum a jaunty tune. The air begins to crackle around him, and the man hesitates with his wrist, having doubts as he sees how little this person is acting like your average slave...
Rolls a... 4 to form the nearby farmers into a meat golem.
Suddenly, the farmers nearby, who were until this moment looking on and wondering what would happen, begin to scream in pain, at the same moment that IronyOwl bursts full force into his mirthful song. Nearly a dozen of them are dragged by some unknown force, pulled together, mashed, crushed, blood spilling everywhere, squirting out with a wet slurp as the mass moves, forming a living amalgamation of different fleshes and bones. The creature is no masterpiece - horribly grotesque, ungraceful, poorly formed and barely held together, but the magic that powers it is powerful enough to compensate.
Now, one last finishing touch, to bind the creature to his will, and the task is done-
Rolls a... 1
*crack* goes the whip, scoring itself across his back, interrupting his focus, his spellcasting, and his wonderfully happy song.
IronyOwl takes 1 point of damage!
He looks back at the terrified man on the horse, then tilts his head.
"Now why did you have to go and do th-"
And then he is flying through the air, his side screaming in pain from where the enormous meat fist impacted, attempting to grab him, but only succeeding in swatting him away.
Meat Beast rolls a... 5
IronyOwl takes 5 points of damage!
IronyOwl has gained a level in magical use!
