Yeah, but at least no jail time when we fight each other.

You don't have a dungeon in your lair? What do you do for entertainment?

Listen to my 80's rasio and read comic books.

Listen to Solidus's 80's rasio and read his comic books.

(Stop looking at me like that. I'm kidding.)

*Extends a frost covered silver goblet with some concoction in it that is bubbling softly, emitting clouds of vapor, and glowing with a pale blue light.*

Care for a cool drink M'Lady Celidah?

*Takes deep drink from much larger frosty goblet filled with the same glowing, smoking, bubbling mixture........with no apparent ill effects.*

Well, m'lord Sharuuk, since I am not a Sicilian, I just may.

*accepts goblet*

But only if we can sing loud, obnoxious drinking songs while we're at it.

And welcome again, our numbers keep growing higher and higher. Soon we will have enough for Phase III.

"Sicilian?" I don't understand the reference.

However, drink very slowly in small sips.....that way you'll enjoy it. If you like I'll tell you what's in it.

I'm almost afraid to think of what kind of loud obnoxious drinking songs this group could come up with.....but I guarentee it'd get us thrown out of here.

Judging by your name and avatar, you're a harpist/singer?

Princess Bride?

That's what I'm thinking...
"Which goblet was poisoned?"
"They were both poisoned. I've spent the last (few?) years building up an immunity to iocane powder."
(As the dead Sicilian lies forgotten on the ground.)

Now I get it....never saw the filc......

I don't poison..too cowardly....if I'm gonna off someone, it'll be face-to-face.

The drink was only offered in friendship.

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THE PRINCESS BRIDE!?!

That's... that's dreadful.... How did you manage that?

SolidusRaccoon · Post by **SolidusRaccoon** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 11:50 am

I used to respect you Shar, I would have called you friend, but now........

Listen bud, when you get some free time rent the movie, trust me you will not regret it. I give you my word.

Celidah the Bardess · Post by **Celidah the Bardess** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 1:09 pm

Sharuuk has never seen The Princess Bride?

INCONCIEVABLE!

Second Solidus, Shar. Watch it, you must. And I know your drink was offered in friendship...else I would never have took it.

Judging by your name and avatar, you're a harpist/singer?

Well, no and yes. It's actually kind of a story. Gather 'round, chil'lin.

I'm not a harpist...yet. I've at least dabbled in many an instrument, mostly in the realm of strings. I took piano, like almost every other musician in the world, and I've done violin, hammer dulcimer, a teensy bit of guitar, and currently play a mountain dulcimer. I've also dabbled with harmonica, but that doesn't count.

I want to purchase a pixie harp (which is basically a mini-harp), because I know I'd pick it up right away. Heck, I was doing just fine with the one in the music shop. I do sing, too. Not as often as I'd like, but yes.

In relation to that, I'm currently in a campus organization that's like the mutant love child of an SCA chapter and a Renaissance Faire. I write or introduce most of the songs that they sing--in fact, we're playing at a campus event tomorrow, and two songs that I wrote and one new tune I introduced this year are going to be played by me and three other musically-inclined individuals. And that's just the music that gets played in public. So that's kind of where the "Bardess" part originates.

It also originates from my LiveJournal, which was orginially intended to be the "travelling journal" of a fictional wandering bardess named Celidah. I got tired of the story, but didn't want the LJ to go to waste, so I converted it to my personal LJ and kept the user name. Celidah Duncan is also the name of my "SCA-ish" persona from my org, Duncan because that's my grandmother's maiden name.

Also also, I specifically chose the harp because one, a harp is a very Celtic instrument, which goes online with my "online personality," and two, because it's actually part of a font I acquired named "Celtic Patterns." I typed it into Photoshop and played around with it until I created an avatar I liked.

So, that's my story (an' I'm stickin' to it).

You can wake up now. I'm done talking.

At the risk of sounding like a movie nerd, the Princess Bride is a classic. Andre the Giant was the best in it.

I wouldn't know about the songs.

Did you give her the flagon with the dragon, or the vessel with the pestle?

Mmmm... I don't know - can you really think of a movie with a higher concentration of such classic, quotable lines?
That's really what makes the movie so great - it is in many ways so downright silly (and it intends to be), and at the same time it has such great, incredibly useful lines.

Yeah, always a PB quote for any situation.
