Our Qij.....
....Often has conversations with himself that he isn't present for.
....Has the most extreme documented case of GTA (Gnomic Time Absence). He often forgets where he is and needs to remind himself. Sometimes he feels a great length of time has elapsed when in reality only a few roisaen have passed. At times he may repeat himself without realizing.
....Enjoys mischief, and finds himself most present, joyful, and aware when dealing with merrymaking and/or mayhem.
....Experiences bouts of extreme paranoia.
....Often times gets involved with evil-minded ne'er-do-wells when he thinks they are just fellow pranksters and shenaniganizers.
....Is clueless when it comes to the ladies.
....Is quite certain the big white "Good Doggy" in the orphanage lived the best and most loved life that Qij has ever seen.
....Often times believes his services are direly needed by various people and/or guilds. He will change professions or undertake grand and perilous adventures on a whim, enrolling countless passersby into his dangerous and whimsical flights of fancy.
....Has a propensity to be very generous with what little he has.
....Often loses some or all of his items after dying, departing, and not bothering or remembering to go retrieve them.
....Does not partake in the favor of the Gods, and has been quoted as saying "Eluned Take The Wheel" when he is (quite obviously to others) doing the opposite.
THE Qijs....
You see Qij, Scholar of Aesry Surlaenis'a, a Gnome.
Qij has a round kertig-rimmed monocle magnifying one of his observant dark eyes. His white hair is long and thick, and is worn unkempt. He has wrinkled skin and a witheringly frail build.
He is tiny for a Gnome.
He appears to be ancient.
He has a thick bushy mustache that droops heavily on his upper lip and a long shaggy beard.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing some ornate robes of deep purple dreamweave, and some burlap fingerless gloves.
Qapers of The Qij
You exclaim, "Hail!"
Haelinon says, "Hi."
Haelinon is slain before your eyes!
You hear the ghostly voice of Haelinon ask, "Wait how did I die that time?"
You quietly say to Haelinon, "The Good Guys say HAIL. Not Hi."
Darkgaze asks, "What's going on Haelinon?"
You say, "We don't know actually."
You say, "But we need to find it help."
You hear the ghostly voice of Haelinon say, "Well two traps killed first two. Third time I was killed by someone."
You hear the ghostly voice of Haelinon say, "Think it was him."
You hear the ghostly voice of Haelinon say, "Qij."
You say, "No no no."
You say, "Good Qij's don't kill."
You hear the ghostly voice of Haelinon say, "And lost spell because Richard ran into the room."
You quietly say to Darkgaze, "He's hysterical."
You quietly exclaim, "No, no, no I don't burglarize. I go in and rearrange some items though...less of an elf on a shelf. Like a Gnome in a Home!"
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "The Great and also Dumb Uritel has been missing for some time, and was last seen Old and Dumb. After much time not bothering searching, he has been pronounced dead. Services will be 5 fortnights from the second andu of the acrimonious snail. When the bell strikes 9 Elven Ladies. Be there."
[General] Your mind hears Rhadyn thinking, "Uritel. You will be missed. I'm busy at that time. I have a new vat of ale that needs tending to. Please send my condolences."
[General] Your mind hears Heartsfyre thinking, "um"
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "If I see him, I will send your regards."
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "But again. Old and dumb. Let's just call it Checkmate or Match or Mistletoe...whatever you call it when your arch nemesis perishes."
[General] Your mind hears Rhadyn thinking, "I do hear you play a mean game of tic-tac-mistletoe Qij"
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Not since mistertoe found out about us."
Your mind hears Ciarelle thinking, "There's a process to how I deal with problems. Step 1 is gripin'."
You hear your mental voice echo, "My step 1 is silently bearing the existential weight of my previous choices. It's a very short step. The rest of the steps usually happen somewhere in Taelbert's."
Your shadow babbles, "Ramee!"
You nod.
You say, "I agree."
You sigh.
You say, "But there's nothing we can do about that now."
You say, "As a matter of fact, there never was anything we could do about it...."
You ask, "Why must you live in the past?"
Your shadow babbles, "Tanooneenamileenee!"
You say, "Well that's hardly the point."
You say, "I really wish you'd stop bringing it up."
You say, "She wasn't even Elven."
You say, "B-b-b-but that wasn't the point."
You say, "Insufferable...."
You scowl blackly.
You patter east.
Nebby says, "I may be in trouble."
You say, "Uhoh..."
You move over to guard Nebby.
>
You ask, "What do you need Mister Nebby?"
>
You ask, "Who needs to die?"
>
Nebby says, "Not that kind of trouble."
>
You ask, "Who needs their ankles slashed?"
>
You ask, "Who needs to be poked in the eye with a raisin?"
>
You ask, "Who needs to get their ears stuffed with pre-owned toothpaste?"
>
Nebby laughs at you!
You ask, "Who needs their basement filled with dead rabbits?"
>
You ask, "Who needs their shoes to turn into death adders while they're in the bathtub?"
>
Nebby says, "Oh that one is harsh."
>
You ask, "Who needs their favorite shirt to be changed to a slightly uncomfortable size?"
>
You say, "Who needs their pantry to be filled with jelly beans but when you eat the jelly beans you find out they are all that weird off-white flavor even though they are multi colored jelly beans so they keep eating MORE AND MORE AND MORE slowly losing hope in their own ability to evaluate their life until finally they give up in desperation, crying out your name in vain."
>
You sob.
>
You break down and bawl your eyes out, tears flying everywhere.
>
Nebby gasps!
>
You say, "Oh wait sorry what were we talking about?"
You patter north, leading your group.
[Orphanage, Playground]
A large climbing structure juts out of an enormous sandbox that provides a relatively soft landing for any who make a misstep. A teeter-totter has been wedged down on the ground with a large block for safe travel in the dark. You also see a wooden swing.
Also here: Pathfinder Kintryn and Ruven.
Obvious paths: south.
You settle yourself on the wooden swing.
You push with your feet, causing the swing to sway from the branch with a rhythmic creaking noise.
You say, "Ok."
You say, "Tell me your problems."
You smile sweetly.
Kintryn quietly says, "Qij."
Kintryn quietly says, "So help me."
Ruven glances at you.
You exclaim, "I will!"
You turn to face Ruven.
< Moving in gracefully, you lob a senci spear at Ruven. Ruven completely fails to block with his targe. The spear lands a very heavy hit that barely pierces the skin to nick the chest, lightly stunning him.
The spear falls to the ground!
[You're solidly balanced and in superior position.]
[Roundtime 3 sec.]
Kintryn quietly says, "Grumble."
You yell, "For Glory!"
Shenney says, "It is dark here, but you are my light."
You sling a senci spear off from over your shoulder.
You trace the Glyph of Light.
A brief burst of pain wracks your body and your soul feels somewhat diminished. Slowly, five globes of light extrude from your fingertips and begin to glow brightly.
The tiny balls of light swirl around you, darting around your body making your vision incredibly clear and lighting the area surrounding you.
Shenney gazes at you.
You clap your hands once in an august gesture of piety.
A blazing golden light erupts from the depths of your soul! Pulsating with thin grey fractures, the glow soon spreads to the whole of your body and your spear.
Also here: a calmed Shenney and a calmed Transcendent Paladin Garthur.
Obvious paths: southwest.
Shenney says to Garthur, "Qij is an awesome Paladin."
Shenney says to Garthur, "You should strive to emulate his light."
You hear your mental voice echo to Darkgaze, "You can't spell "make my enemies regret crossing me forevermore" without "Q""
[Personal] Your mind hears Darkgaze thinking, "<to you>" "I suppose that's hard logic to argue"
Telutci asks, "Hmm?"
>ambush slash
You are unable to surprise Telutci with your sneak attack!
You slip out of the shadows behind Telutci! Displaying controlled ferocity, you draw back before smoothly slicing at Telutci's leg with swift and elegant precision.
A shriek of pain follows an abruptly terminated attempt to nurse his injured limb, and Telutci collapses to the ground!
Telutci is stunned!
[You're battered, solidly balanced and in dominating position.]
Roundtime: 6 sec.
- Driving in like an adept combatant, Telutci draws a haralun bastard sword at you. You badly fail to block with a small amber-scale shield with fitted seams. The sword lands a powerful strike that bites deeply into the left calf.
[You're near death, very badly balanced with opponent in strong position.]
You see Telutci start to back off just as you lose consciousness. The challenge has been satisfied!
Willing your presence to be but a brief ripple in the pool of perception, you still yourself to silence once again.
[12:23:52 AM] Your mind hears Acerild thinking, "{faintly}" "way to let us down, qij"
You're unconscious. Try again later, when you're not.
Vinjince says to you, "You owe me a new jelly bean."
Redeth quietly asks, "Did he eat it?"
Vinjince says to Redeth, "Yes."
Telutci visibly churns with an inner rage!
You pull Wealand close in a slow, lingering kiss.
>release life
You release your hold on Life.
Your death cry echoes in your brain as it quickly dawns on you that you have just died! Already, you feel the tug of eternity upon your soul and you struggle to remain tied to this world.
A chill crosses the surface of your soul as your remaining spiritual strength bleeds away steadily. You feel the eyes of the gods upon you and realize that none look upon you with favor.
Your body will decay beyond its ability to hold your soul in 10 minutes.
Congratulations Qij! You just received an award for roleplaying! Don't forget to review the RPA verb for how to use your award.
SEND: [Melete] Keep up the good work, Qij. You're moving in the right direction.
[12:07:52 AM] * Qij was just struck down!
[12:08:10 AM] * Bazzo was just struck down!
[12:08:16 AM] * Qij was just struck down!
You yell, "This game is hard!"
You patter north.
[Wilds, Pine Needle Path]
Birds dart in and out of the dense shrubbery here, calling to one another in cadences that are almost comprehendible. Responses seem to emanate from the wooden structure ahead, a timber building with ornately carved double doors, and seemingly without a roof. You also see a pile of branches, some braided grass, a waste bin and a tall wooden figure whose gaze seems to vigilantly scan the surroundings.
Also here: the body of Death's Messenger Misstep who is lying down.
Obvious paths: south.
A teal cloud eel glides in.
A milky cloud eel glides in.
An alabaster cloud eel glides in.
You say, "Looks like you had a big....nevermind."
You hear the ghostly voice of Misstep say, "Help."
You patter south.
You get a glass of pink lemonade from inside some dense shrubbery.
You dance about with your pink lemonade.
You patter south.
You patter east.
You patter east.
You patter north.
You patter north.
The monk glances over to you and nods in greeting as you enter the guildhall.
[Clerics' Guild, Sanctorum]
Dark brown walls paneled with a coarse flowing grain mark this circular chamber. Curved, comfortable-looking sofas are set about some potted acanth trees and you notice a few clerics sitting quietly while reading tomes from the guild's private library. The guild's record keeper sits behind his desk in the corner next to some bins used for storage. You also see a silver and gold gilt scroll, a door leading to the guildleader's study, an arched door and a charity chest.
Also here: Wirks.
Obvious exits: east, out.
You put your lemonade in the charity chest.
You wink at Wirks.
You patter out.
You whisper to Annieka, "HE IS INVISIBLE"
You whisper to Annieka, "WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL"
Annieka rubs her head.
Annieka says to you, "Hush."
You say, "I should just be an Empath. I get hurt too much to be a Commoner."
Lalouisa says, "I get hurt to much for you not to be an empath Qij."
Cashmere says to you, "Dont do it."
Cashmere drops to her knees swooning from some incredible pain.
>
Digless just arrived.
You ask, "Oh hey, are you Digmo's brother?"
You ask, "If we get you a shovel, will your name change?"
Digless drops his rock in a waste bin.
>give my ticket to Ylono
Ylono smiles and says, "Well that is almost done, just give me a few more moments here."
Qij says, "I am thinking of going bungee jumping for my 474th birthday."
Qij says, "Everyone suggested against it."
Qij says, "But like my GranQij always said."
You ponder.
Qij says, "YLONO."
Qij patters out.
>cast
You reveal yourself.
You gesture.
Color leeches from the skin on your face as you feel the bone structure underneath shift to accomodate changes on the inside of your skull. Crippling pain and nausea give way to euphoria as your mutation takes hold and the aetheric structure of the plane becomes visible in a blood haze
"Burn him! Burn him!" You hear the cries echo around you as everyone in the vicinity suddenly moves away, giving you a wide berth! It goes without saying you'll be wanted for forbidden practices in Crossing now.
You feel fully rested.
You say, "WRONG BUTTON."
You say, "I SWEAR I'M ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS."
Your spell subtly alters the corruption around you, creating a blind spot once more.
>say /quiet }qij time to go dude...
To whom are you speaking?
[01:04:02 PM] Your mind hears Qij thinking, "Worst necromancer ever."
You hear your mental voice echo to Baylix, "check check qij qij" [Personal] Your mind hears Baylix thinking, "<to you>" "I hear!!" You hear your mental voice echo to Baylix, "new gweth, who dis"
You say, "Hey guys who fixes crap in Shard."
Caidie says, "Ylono."
Riverlynn asks, "Like armor?"
Riverlynn says, "Yeah, him."
You say, "I agree, Caidie. YOLO. But who fixes armor in Shard please."
Jilette asks, "Metal or leather?"
Riverlynn says, "He does both."
Jilette says, "Well there's the one in the waystation just outside the north gate."
Jilette says, "Starts with a Y I think but I can't remember his exact name."
You whisper to Caidie, "hahahaha"
You whisper to Caidie, "Jilette is not. on. point."
Charlize says, "Ylono."
Jilette says, "That's it."
You say, "Ok guys, YOLO. I'm gonna go find out who knows where to repair armor."
You patter south.

[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "10/10 would Qij again."

You say, "Wow."
You say, "They've come a long way with the glazing on these mixing bowls."
You say, "Nothing like when I was a Qij."
You drop a ceramic mixing bowl with cornflower glazing.
You patter south.
Askogara just disintegrated!
Askogara was just struck down!
You get a greeting card in the shape of a pale grey death spirit from inside a heretic's supply sack with a reinforced leather bottom which is in your black backpack.

You summon a carrier pigeon to deliver your death spirit card to Askogara.

[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Is me wondering out loud if you could throw cucumbers at people."
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Then I walked to the empath's guild, naturally."
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "And I found out the answer to my question. Much to the chagrin of Rachmaj's neck."
[General] Your mind hears Eurynomile thinking, "ha! so shoulda known... was the cucumbers edilble still after all was over?"

You quietly say to Selame, "Good Good Qij."
You give Selame an emphatic nod.
[Hilltop Cemetery, Before Mausoleum]
The trees have given way to a mausoleum crafted from white marble. The entrance is marked by two smooth columns and perched just above, a solemn-looking stone gargoyle surveys the surroundings. You also see an Elven silk picnic cloth embroidered with silvery thread with several things on it, a Darkmist abyss monkey draped in strands of clattering bone fragments and a huge **WARNING** sign.
Also here: Nurse Illiya who is circled by ephemeral phantom sharks, Danger Wizard Dasheek who has a stony visage, Shadow Reiku, Blood Dancer Selame who is lying down, Grey Empath Akeiro who is sitting and Nepenthe Timorias.
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west.

Dasheek takes a sip of his tea.
You and Selame attempt to highfive, but you miss and just barely clip her hand.
You sigh.
After a long deliberation, the judge finally says, "Qij, this court finds you innocent of the charges brought upon you. You are free to go. Guards, please return this man's things."
The guard releases you, and somewhat reluctantly hands you a sack containing your things. You are shunted to a small area in the corner where you redress in relative privacy.
You patter north.
[Therenborough, Quadrangle]
The vast quadrangle is paved with blocks of silver-speckled granite and bordered by rows of marble columns interspersed with matching benches. Throngs of people congregate in this popular gathering spot. Every so often an animated speaker addresses the crowds from the public orator's stand. You also see a large green chrysoberyl, a large rust-colored garnet, The Two Birds card and an alabaster birdbath.

The "Q"seum
You apply the quill to the paper and write: A magnificent seascape beneath a bewitchingly fogged night sky. Waves roll onto the shore, and the vast expanse of the night sky's horizon seems to be intended to draw you into a meditative ponderance of it's meaning. On the beach is posed the graceful figure of a golden-haired Elothean woman, studying a large tome laid upon a piece of driftwood. Her tanned skin leads you to believe she spends much of her time here, but her tranquil stare displays the calm wisdom of a healer not unfamiliar with the battlefield. At the bottom, miniscule script reads, "Lycidylia Kitsune: Keeper of the Tathalus, Dolphin Pal, Protector of Gnomes, Healer of Healers, Calmer of Scattered and Disquieted Qijs. The pal that keeps the pals palled.

At the bottom of the portrait, in unbelievably tiny calligraphy, are the words, "Tathalus Kitsune: Keeper of Lycidylia, Protector of Gnomes, Owner of Slightly Charred Combat Attire, Hugger of Pals. The kindest and most wonderful friend a Qij could want."

You apply the quill to the paper and write: A hectic scene as a Gnomish Empath returns home from work one day to find his beautiful Halfling Wife linked to another man. As he storms out, he attempts to flip the table but finds it's too heavy to achieve the dramatic effect he hopes. He slowly tips it over as they silently watch him struggle. The napkin holder falls to the ground, unspilled. He picks up the napkins and throws them everywhere. One sticks in his beard and he fiercely struggles to remove it in a fit of rage. Finally, he grabs a macaroni and cheese tart, throwing it against the wall and it splatters back onto his foot. He turns to leave and slips on the fresh macaroni, falling down the stairs of his now broken home in disgrace and shame. His Wife turns to her student and says "I genuinely have no clue who that was."

In Common, it reads:
All through the night the the reindeer did ride to make it the Qij's places he hide. Then the jolly red man atop a snow covered sleigh yelled out what tis Cris Mass this day? He pondered in thought, where is the Qij, what woud Cris Mass good cheer be without this small dude... So to ye I send the qijiest sleigh, some skates and some poison to do as ye may. May the 12 days of fest bring you on a small quest, to find much cheer in this Cris Mass year. your friend, Etasia
