Ordo Mortis

[Sovereign]

The Ordo Mortis is Invite Only. Don't ask to join, or even hint please. If you're good enough, and what we're looking for, we'll come for you.

The Kolver hills, Ostland. The forests are rumored to be haunted, strange deaths occurring, myths spread. Villages within live in a state of constant alarm, watching the world outside go by warily. They believe it to be a plague perhaps, or a creature that stalks them. Their eyes grow weary from watching, and some move away. But there are always the travelers, they pass through once then never pass through again. They fear the forests at night, their company falling dead at the slightest whim in the strangest of circumstances. Traps are laid out, nothing is ever caught. Balms and medicines are created; nothing seems to stop the death. And yet, almost at the heart lies a sanctuary. Completely untouched by death and the outside world is the local monastery, though the locals leave it alone. They know better than to bother old monks.

The monastery is huge. Built in the name of Saint Pieter, it stands proud atop a bare hill jutting steeply from the forests below. To those who can view it, it is splendid and picturesque from afar and up close. Great arches rise and meet, a huge central building with great spires covered in ornate carvings surrounded by lesser. A tower pierces the sky, allowing for a magnificent view of the land. Its tip is sharp and thin. Colossal stained glass windows created to perfection line the walls of the central building, each showing a beautifully created scene. Arches line up together and peak to form an entrance, huge oaken doors halting a man’s way inside. The path up to this enchanting greeting is winding and paved, all the way down the hillside to the mud track. A walkway fit for royalty.

If by some chance your fate were to walk up the grand path, to knock upon the foreboding doors and to be allowed to enter the hallowed ground, your senses would reel with shock at the interiors of the grand domain. The inside of the central building is spectacular: during daylight it is left empty to fill with multi-coloured lights filtering through the stained windows, and during the night it becomes alive with thousands of candles, flickering and creating such a magnificent atmosphere. The floor, instead of being lined with pews, is home to a huge and lengthy table. The legs are beasts, holding the polished wood aloft. Chairs line this centerpiece, red embroidered velvet allowing for a comfortable seat. Splendid candlesticks stretch from one end to the other, alive with candles in the dark.

And the rest of the monastery; It too, is created to indulge the senses. The tower is lined with windows, each step one takes up the winding staircase giving an even more potent view. The final few steps lead to an attic and a balcony. The view during the day is blinding, at night, all the more brilliant. To the back of the central building is a haven, a quiet place, a huge library filled with the knowledge of the world. Row upon row of bookcases, the walls seething with shelves, a literate’s heaven. Comfy sofas, rocking chairs, small tables are all present between columns of this vast collection. One could lose himself for a lifetime. The buildings around the central one are storage facilities, rooms for accommodation. Each is elaborate and customized, and all the windows have been removed and sealed for the purposes of privacy. Beneath the central building are crypts, filled with fallen heroes and lords.

And the monks… the monks…

The monks are dead.

Their blood drained. Their robes tattered. Their bodies thrown to a nearby swamp. They are gone and no more. New monks now inhabit the monastery; they claimed it for their own. These monks too though, are dead.

The monastery is a haven, yes. Free from disease, free from trouble and strife, free from the mortal world. Immortals inhabit it, vampires; the undead. They use it as a base, a meeting place, somewhere to perhaps call home. They stay within its walls for as long as they wish, abide to its few rules, enjoy the company. But as with all vampires, each eventually grows tired of the others’ presences, and will leave. This process can take years, centuries, and there are always those few who have stayed present through decades. Talking to other immortals, reading through the vast library, adding to it, entertaining themselves as they should will.

They form among themselves a sort of rulership. This is based loosely of course, and those among the small population are only expected to obey to a certain degree out of respect. The elders are treated as wise and powerful, and so are respected and obeyed. Councils are formed from the oldest present, and these decide fates and rulings. None dares disobey this council though, for it is final, and to do so would be to end a beautiful immortality. The hovel demands respect, for it is a sanctuary away from everything, a rare place, and none would wish to destroy it within sanity.

It was chosen in sanity. By a group, searching for a restful place. They found it and fell in love with it, the location, the architecture, everything about it was enchanting. And so with barely a word they slew the worshipping monks and claimed it for their own. A nest. And of course the outside world was still communicated with, through letters confirming the presence of monks. The outside world was to be kept informed, so no suspicion would be raised. However, the monks now wanted privacy, and other than the odd letter were completely unheard from. These requests were honored, and now no one suspected the truth; from the locals, to the authorities. It lay almost completely forgotten to the world, and that’s exactly how they wanted it.

Beneath the grounds, the main building, an ancient lies buried. In a state of complete inactivity. None of the immortals above know if he is still alive, if he is conscious. All they know is that he has requested to be left to rest. And he has prophesized a return, when they should need him once more to protect them. But for now he lies dormant, waiting. Those above respect, as is demanded of one so old.

They hide from the day in the crypts, or in the windowless rooms. They come out at night to wander the grounds, to sit at the vast counseling table and talk. They go out to hunt, to dine. And they live a dreamy life, a state lacking in adventure. They leave in search of foreign lands, in search of new views and art, or merely to live among mortals again, to get away from the tiring presences of other immortals. This is sanctuary to them, and peace.

They languish now, feeding from the locals who put the deaths down to myth. They thrive, learn, and become a changing community. They are immortal, they are fallen, and they are one.

[Sovereign]

Exarte Mortis

I. Thou shalt not spill the blood of human or immortal, nor raise hand to thy brethren within these sacred grounds, save only that defense is a right that shall not be denied you.

II. Thou shalt hide not thy troubles from the masters of the convent save only should they not affect it, lest thou lose the right to take sanctuary from them and turn all the hands of our Ordo against thy flesh.

III. Thou shalt abide by the council's decisions, save only that they may be contested at the time of their announcement.

IV. Thou shalt not raise hand against the Ordo itself, though neither shall you be bound to obey when the Ordo rests outside of thy senses' reach.

V. Thou shalt not reveal unto others the location of this Ordo, nor of the resting place of any who come unto it. Nor shall you give knowledge of the names of those who come unto this Ordo, for such shall name you anathema to our kind.

There is but one punishment for breech of our laws. Exile shall be visited upon you and for ever after shall you be named anathema to those who follow this code.

[Lord_Inquisitor]

Boo.

[Cassandra]

I live!

Sort of.

[Sovereign]

Most excellent!

Right, I'm gonna hunt down target and make him post.

Also, he loved the e-card!

[Illya]

Mm. Sweet irony. Tis only first in death we truly find life.

[Anaris]

Mm. Sweet irony. Tis only in the Ordo Mortis thread that we can truly be RIDICULOUSLY pretentious.

[Cassandra]

Awww, isn't he such a fluffy bunny *gives Anaris a BIIIIIIG hug and muffin*

:D

So... we waiting for MT to grace us with his presence on the Swamps thread then, before I hop in and hopefully LQ actually posts this time? ;) Ahhhh, nothing really ever changes....

-Cass-

[Anaris]

Otto's not posting? Dammit, that's MY job!

[Illya]

Oh, I might add all Ordo Members are invited to take a look at my guild, the Sword Brethren. If you're interested, you're welcome to join of course.

[Sovereign]

I'll take a look in a bit Illya.

Next person to see Target around, mash the keyboard until he gets the message.

[Moving_Target]

woah I like totally did it on my own.

EDIT: And you're all so totally lucky that I still had that post hanging about.

[Sovereign]

Okay Otto, it's up to you. I've transferred everything over, so now we're awaiting your much, much delayed post. Chop chop man!

[Illya]

Hmm.

[Igfig]

A good portion of you know this already, but I suppose an official announcement must be made:

I, Igfigtchu 'dal Doaxtuancara, now accept my invitation to join the Ordo. Doom will ensue.

(And no, I don't mean that we're having a vampire Skink.)

[Illya]

Most excellent. About time we had a new guy to poke.

*poke*

Muahaha!

[Sovereign]

I go offline for a week, and what do I see?
Ramhez has written more than all of you.

Ramhez.

Dudes, dudette. I am severely dissapointed. C'mon Otto, what's happenin'? it's been a month!

I'm gonna be proddin' some buttock if any of you come online. Ever.

That goes for all of you ('part from Cass, but including Ramhez), get online any time soon. Don't want the ol' Ordo to die. Not yet, anywho. There's some organisin' to be done. If Otto ain't gonna do a blasted thing about the Swamps, we'll sort somethin' out.

Also, Igfig matey, I'm apologisin' on MT's behalf for not carrying on with your RP.

Bloody slackers... slackers I say! there'll be a cut on everybody's muffin rations.

[Igfig]

MT has apologized. And I apologized back. I'm the one who has to post next, actually.

[Illya]

Sov! You have to tell me what Alexei is supposed to be doing. Until then, I claim full muffin rations! And not only that, I'm taking the rations the others are being denied!

*grabs all the muffins* Ha!

[Lord_Inquisitor]

...except we posted, so no longer are they being denied.

*Illya's muffins disappear in a puff of logic*

[Sovereign]

Actually, Otto, guess whose turn it is again!

Y'know Illya, I'm not sure. Maybe have him following us to the place, a latecomer of sorts. Though that might be tricky with the broken bridge... hum... yeah, I'm not sure. Just go with whatever you want.

[Illya]

I'll see what I can do.

edit: I've gone back to the necrarch idea, seems to fit in best. I can't think of any way Alexei would come to where you all are, so I'll just use Vardante in this rp. Ta!

[Sovereign]

That's cool Illya.

I posted!

Also, Ramhez is on here with a dodgy new name.

[ayeam]

Yeah. I meant to register as 'taboo' but failed due to certain mysterious circumstances. But I'm here.

By the way, character brief; Eviseu Saint-Laurent, son of a Brettonian noble, received blood kiss at 22, blood dragon bloodline. He's on the way.

[Anaris]

Oh, god, not another one.

[Sovereign]

AAAAAAH, Déjà Vu!

[Igfig]

Okay, Loose Ends has been post'd upon.

[Igfig]

*Hint, hint*

[Sovereign]

I'm sorry Igfig, Target's deserted us.

Just to say that we are all still alive, and that there is a roleplay going currently if anybody's interesting in posting something like once every few days or so. It's mainly to introduce Dinny in, but anyone's welcome if they have a good enough alibi for being there.

[Osiris]

Any room for a small one? (and er.....me ;))

[Sovereign]

Osiris? well wax my elbows and call me Lucifer, mine eyes deceive me not!

You're not really one of the pointy-toothed sentimental creatures of the night, but I don't think there's anywhere much more suitable... perhaps the presence of a different being would raise some of the controversy and politics that caused the Ordo to revert to a hierarchy of power and some damn good writing from us all.

Alright Osiris. I invite you into the Ordo Mortis, unless there is anybody opposed, as an honorary member ('til the day ye' should finally create a new character... which is, conveniently enough, the same day that Hell is scheduled to freeze over.)

[Anaris]

Osiris? Woah. That reminds me of something. Oh. Yeah.

POST ON AN ENDING.

[ayeam]

Dude. He's like... an elephant.

That wasn't a fat joke, honest.

EDIT I: Oh, anaris plus sov, post up your hotmail thingies. Or PM me if you're really paranoid. I have msn back but somebody has somehow discovered a way of deleting all my contacts. I've forgotten yours, see.

[Sovereign]

ollielangmead@hotmail.com

And Anaris is:
phoenixaflame@hotmail.com , but he's hardly on these days.

Anaris can take An Ending and eat it.

[Illya]

Posted!

[Lord_Inquisitor]

Yeah, when I saw the RP was, in fact, not dead, my mind had the mental image of "wtf?".

[Illya]

Not dead? Muahaha! I spoke with Sov, and decided to join in. We'll have some fun.

[Sovereign]

BAD ILLYA

[Lord_Inquisitor]

Oh stop it, you.

[Anaris]

Happy Birthday!

HEY ANNIE!

Happy Birthday from the Ordo crew!

.....


I'd just like to respond, to convey my heartfelt thanks for whatever that thing was. As far as I could see, it was a terrible gif of a gorilla.

It's not the thought that counts, dammit. Send me cash.

[Sovereign]

bah, you got more than I did!

You lot of stingy people you.

Dinny! Illlyyaaa! it's your turns!

[Blister]

Hey! I just found this whole forum on the net and decided to have a look at it, and wow, whaddya see... Some auld friends still interested in warhammer... Alright anyone remembers me from the old (the first and oldest) forums at WO?? Care to reply? Anyone?? 8)

[Corellion]

[sorry for gate crashing]

Mine eyes deceive me not?
Surely it isn't? Blister? I shall not mention the name of that hallowed guild. Is it really you? Someone test him; someone!

What country do you live in?
Who did you leave HD to?

[Blister]

Yup, it's me Corellion:) I'm not here for renewing the old guild if that is what U ask. Just wanted to visit some old friends :D

Well, if you have to test me in some way here U are:
1. Poland
2. Sovereign

That was easy :lol:
So, anything new?? I saw your RP, U gettin' better and better. I could say I'm proud of y'all. (but I won't as I would sound like an annoying old bore)

Right, peace. I'm outta here.

[Anaris]

Who was that masked man?

[Sovereign]

Poland?

In other news, Illya, Dinny, post already.

Don't do an Anaris.

[Blister]

Yeah, Poland. As always. That wrong or sth??

Anyways, U do recognize me Sov, don't you?? That would be a shame (but at least I would stop posting :P )

[Sovereign]

Hehe, 'course I do Blister matey. Good to see you still remember us.

And now I will proceed to search and destroy Illya and Dinny.

[Illya]

I strongly reccomend you read the Inq. thread before killing me. I make a rather good case.

[Dintathra]

I don't I'm afraid :roll:

I'm writing a post now though, so it shouldn't be too long. Hopefully. I think.

[Cassandra]

Done with the postiness :P. Sov nearly killled me!

[Illya]

He did! Why... I'll... I'll remove him from my fantasies! Take that Sovmeister!

[Osiris]

Patchy...have you let Blister out of his cage again?...I'm having troubles finding him *scratches head* :?

Anaris....An Ending? It still lives? Then I bow to you my good friend for your powers of necromancy are far stronger than my own :P

Great to see you're all still around, my university of magic is incredibly heavy at the moment, due to my final preperations for the underworld exams. But once I've cheated my way through this period, and made an attempt on the universities primarch I should be back with you guys in no time.

That's if he doesn't disintegrate me first.

Remember to keep the living where they belong....in the ground.

salute!

[Sovereign]

An Ending is even more dead than you Osiris. Anaris is just what's know as a: party pooper.

Well... well... Cass started it! nerrrr

Bloomin' 'eck, how am I meant to follow that post?

[Sovereign]

Well I am waiting for Dinny to continue!

In other news, looking at how to get a hold of our guild avatar.

[Igfig]

So, I'm wondering. Since Moving Target is dead, who would like to be Don Paco Fernando d'Ibaara y Souza y Delmarez's mentor in the art of vampireship? Specifically, someone who is willing to take MT's place in the dead-before-it-began RP Loose Ends, which I'll restart in a few weeks when I find a moment.

[Sovereign]

Hmmm... good question. Not me! Already sired Dinny! I'll have an ask around.

Sorry I haven't been around much recently. I do have an excuse that you guys probably know about. It'll all settle down in a bit though, so I'll be back to regularly posting. Have no worries!

Still waiting for Dinny too :P

[Anaris]

Bagsie not.

[Sovereign]

You dare induce the dark arts of Bagsie upon these sacred grounds? you are a true devil, Anaris.

In other news: Diiiiiinnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[Illya]

Funny how people hardly ever complain that they're waiting for me. So, indeed. Diiinnnnnyyy!

[spirit]

Yup, it's me Corellion:) I'm not here for renewing the old guild if that is what U ask. Just wanted to visit some old friends :D

Well, if you have to test me in some way here U are:
1. Poland
2. Sovereign

That was easy :lol:
So, anything new?? I saw your RP, U gettin' better and better. I could say I'm proud of y'all. (but I won't as I would sound like an annoying old bore)

Right, peace. I'm outta here.

Firstly: I apologise for coming in this thread

Secondly: Yay! Blister! He lives! *dances*

Thirdly: Yay! Osiris! He lives! *dances*

[Sovereign]

Quite.

In other news: I've emailed the mysterious bloke again and got a mod to check the suspect's email address (no corellation, so that might be a dead end). Don't know what'll happen about that, damn creepy nontheless.

Also, I posted on the RP! sorry for taking your thunder Dinny :P

[Anaris]

What mysterious bloke now?

[Sovereign]

Well come onto msn some time and I'll explain. Pretty weird it is: you've been getting them them too actually.

Oh, and I got a mod to pop up the OM Avatar. It's in with the public lot at the minute, but then so is everyone's. I quite like it. What do you guys think?

[Sovereign]

Dudes. I think it's time to inject a bit of life into this place.

I think I'm gonna invite a couple of people in and see what happens.

[Anaris]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

[Sovereign]

On the invite list:

Artik.
Septin.
Kai Loq.
Draco.

[Anaris]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at???!?!?!?

[Draco]

It's Draco, back from the dead!

Brought to you by Microsoft Internet Explorer, in co-operation with Doc. Insaniac's Necromancy Project, I'm finally able to actually access the damn site! Curse you Mozilla and you're annoyingness.

Cor pointed out to me that Sov actually was online, not just AWOL. So I re-added him, and now here I am, all... here.

And in the typically ranting way of me, I'd like to acceptzor the invitation into Ordo Mortis. Ftw. etc.

[Anaris]

http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2789

Ordo Mortis, assemble! Stand up for decently played vampires!

[Illya]

*stands up* Lavinia, present and evil.

[Sovereign]

Sometimes... just sometimes there's that little thing that not only takes the biscuit, but eats it then puts it back.

[Lord_Inquisitor]

omfg roflmao

[Draco]

You know, I need things like that every now and again, just to remind that there really are some people who can't write out there. Makes me feel all warm, giddy, and superior inside.

T3h roffle.

[Kai-Loq]

Oh... my...

[Anaris]

I'm joining that RP. Pierre is going to be the guy sleeping next to that woman.

[Igfig]

Alfred The Manly Housewife, reporting for duty.

He didn't really have to bite me so hard...

[ramhez]

Tears pour from my eyes in the same way blood spurts from the cut wrists of the unfortunate child when nobody joined his roleplay.

I'm so bored.

Right then. Someone please point me to some sort of relaxed, aimless roleplay thread so I can remember how to write. Or make one. Or... God, somebody do something.

Wait... at the moment I'm actually just assuming that I have... invitational immunity. Sovereign, speak. Write. Use your Super Powers and swing your cape around a bit. Whatever. Give me an honorary membership until I figure out whether I can still write or not. I'll roleplay my character into shape then write a profile, if you want one. Or don't give me an honorary membership and I'll just do it anyway. It doesn't really make any difference, I guess, I just get this warm glow inside when I see my name on the charter.

[Draco]

Does anyone else see the OM joining of that RP like Yank foreign policy? Getting so bored in its own superiority that it takes it out on, well, anyone who tries to look like it, regardless of how pathetic it is?

Yeah, so do I. Having said that, I enjoy such acts. So, if I get really bored and able, I'll be joining that too, though as what... well, I don't know. Something.

To be fair I'm rather intrigued as to what writing with you fellows (and fell...ette?) is like... Sov, do as Ramhez says!

There's a good lass.

[Igfig]

Ehm... I DO already have a mostly aimless RP begun already. I stole it from MT and now its mine. It's called Loose Ends; I'll bring it back if there's interest. Draco, Ramhez?

[Draco]

*appears covered in dust with a miner's hat on*

Well, I found it (http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174).

Should be a laugh. A larf, you might say.

[Igfig]

Ah yes. Though I was thinking of restarting it, since MT won't be part of the action anymore.

[ramhez]

Well... there's interest. You could restart it with just me, you and Draco and assume that other people are going to join. Unless you have some sort of idea of how many people you want and you'd rather wait for volunteers... meh. Shout when you're ready to start it up again, anyway. I'll come up with a reason for my character to be wondering around in Marienburg... don't expect much in the way of quality reading though, I haven't written anything whatsoever for the best part of a year...

[Draco]

Well my d00d still needs to meet the Ordo Mortis fiends anyhow.

[Kai-Loq]

I'd be interested as well, though I'll need to come up with a character...

[Sovereign]

Hang on.

So I go absent for a little bit and you guys become active?

Bah.

Start a new roleplay guys! C'mon, something spicy. I might stay out of it and let you guys along though, unless you just want me to start it off and let you guys go for it. Might pop in every now and then. Your call. You're ordo now! surely you can make your own decisions.

Ramhez, baby, post on An Ending. Score.

[Igfig]

Okee. I have set up the new Loose Ends. I'm not so sure about the order of some recent events, but we are beginning shortly before the Grand Tournament starts.

I was thinking I'd awake in a safe house of some sort. The figure can be whichever of you gets there first. The attacking vampire is a Strigoi, if that's important.

The size and outcome of this RP are equally undefined: that is to say, do what you like.

The attacker could be a valid character if you need one, Kai.

[Kai-Loq]

Hmm... a female Strigoi, eh? Interesting. Disturbing, yes, but interesting. I just might take your offer. I'll probably post tomorrow, or tonight.

Oh, and furthermore:

Damn you, Igfig, for letting my poor lil' Bretonnian lass stumble into yet another dagnerous plot without her knowing it :D... I've a hunch that with what's been going on about her person recently, her life expectancy won't be very long anymore...

[Draco]

Anyone mind if I use this RP as the 'When Henreight met the rest of Ordo Mortis' thing? It'll be like When Harry Met Sally. I can even do a fake orgasm scene if need be.

Ok, maybe not. But yeah, anyone complain a bit if I have me arriving and saying 'hey' and other tings?

[Igfig]

Damn you, Igfig, for letting my poor lil' Bretonnian lass stumble into yet another dagnerous plot without her knowing it :D... I've a hunch that with what's been going on about her person recently, her life expectancy won't be very long anymore...

Ah, but Mahite has already left the city. She's on her way to Altdorf for the Grand Tournament. Won't play anny further part in the tournament unless you want her to.

[Kai-Loq]

Ah, okies :). No, I think I'll let her take a rest for now. I also decided against playing the female Strigoi... sorry. I don't see myself playing a character that basically hates the entire world and its population...

I'm working on a new character, however, so I'll probably manage a post tonight. Like Draco's, it'll be an introduction to the Ordo, I guess.

[Kai-Loq]

Yes, I posted, try not to faint.

[Igfig]

Grr! Ramhez, Draco, get a move on!

[Kai-Loq]

Ahh, the promises when I joined the Ordo...

"We will have great, active rp's! Excitement! Adventure! Boobies!"

[Draco]

Ooh, boobies.

I'm not too sure where to bring Henreight in atm. Feels a bit weird for another vampire to turn up where two are already. Might leave it a bit and have him pop in later.

If there is a later.

[Kai-Loq]

I don't care continuing on my own for a bit, after all I could use some time to get Ada properly 'played in' (ahh... the joys of innuendo when rp'ing a Lahmian...). Still, I dislike double-posting, especially in an rp. But it's your call, really. I'll continue all the same, on my own if need be.

EDIT:
Oh, now may not be a great time to mention it, but me and Laggy put up a fun new rp, called Sniff-Squeek vs Menkauhor. I'd say, head over there and give it a read :smile:. It's supposed to be a light, wacky rp that mainly looks for players that don't take themselves too seriously all the time. Anything goes, really :smile:.

[Igfig]

I have tossed off a quick hook. Now you have no excuse for not posting.

[Kai-Loq]

Except lack of sleep, which will be rectified this afternoon.
No more deadlines, no more exams... only blissful sleep followed by pointless dabbering on the internet... *contended sigh*

[Igfig]

Nonono, Kai: you're fine. It's these other lazy fooles that I'm referring to. I kick thee, Ramhez and Draco!

[Draco]

Good things, those who wait, etc.

It's exam season, so let me off!

[Anaris]

ten characters of length

[SirSeptin]

wow.......

[Illya]

Wow, Anaris posted. He's not dead!

[Kai-Loq]

Duh. He's undead.

[Sovereign]

The Ordo never dies. No matter how much you stamp on it or not post on it for a few months, it'll still come struggling back.

Sort of like Anaris. But more comprehendable.

[Igfig]

Actually, it was twenty-four characters in length.

Also, stuff.

[Anaris]

It was an oblique reference to the whole "post must be ten characters long".

Also, you all suck but not quite as much as everyone outside the Ordo Mortis. Congratulations, keep it up.

[Igfig]

It was an oblique reference to the whole "post must be ten characters long".
Don't worry, we all got that.

[SirSeptin]

Really? wow, slipped me by!

heh :P

[Kai-Loq]

There seems to be an Ordo Mortis rp. I'm so scared by the mere idea that I don't dare look at it.

[Igfig]

Apparently we're all dead. That was fun.

[Anaris]

Oh yeah, about that. Sov decided to kill all your characters, if you have a problem with that, uh... too late. Pretend you escaped.

[Illya]

Why, when it's so much more fun making new? Hehehe. At least here Cass can't whack me... can she? *cowers*

[Cassandra]

Oh, once there was a forumite named Illya,
Who had a very novel way to kill ya,
He'd bury you in profiles,
And demand countless trials,
What will it take to finally fulfil ya?!?

Nah, I don't really care too much in the Ordo, I don't have to read them all.

EDIT: Be nice, Anny-dear. You've spilt sourpuss on yourself.

[Anaris]

Limerick, RP that reads like an erotica fanfic, stories that are twenty million words long that nobody reads, is there anything Cass can't write?

[Kai-Loq]

RP that reads like an erotica fanfic

I fail to see the problem here.

[Illya]

Oh, once there was a forumite named Illya,
Who had a very novel way to kill ya,
He'd bury you in profiles,
And demand countless trials,
What will it take to finally fulfil ya?!?


I could answer that last question... if you really wanted me to. :p

[Anaris]

Just to let you know on the subject of Generations, anyone remotely sensitive to mental things will sense Jean's mental search. In addition, don't take that post as me foreshadowing something that's coming soon or attempting to kill you all. It's just I got bored, so I introduced your erstwhile foes.

Hehe, don't worry about your characters. If they weren't at the Ordo itself they ain't dead. So if you want them dead then they are and if you don't then they ain't, nice and easy.

That's some mighty stuff Anaris. I'll pop something up on Sunday at the latest, but I'll need to know the limits of what I can do to the girl. I ain't gonna kill her... but there's a more demonic plan in the works that I'd like to use.

Nice to see Celeste back again Illya!

[Anaris]

She's fast, but not even nearly as fast as Pierre. She's not very durable - she'll cut easily, her bones break, whatever, but she won't die and she heals well, though not fast at all. A day or so will see her back on her feet from nearly anything. Thing is, she won't fight you. But if you touch her or she touches you, you'll hurt - contact with her skin or close proximity burns. Lastly, she's part of the folklore of the area. She's got easy access to the minds of any local humans, and while she won't harm them or throw them up as meat shields, she can slip among them and hide a lot better than you, and she knows the city.

Basically, the limits are: If you think it's possible after hearing all that, you can do it.

[Sovereign]

Done and done. Not my best writing by far... 'eh... but you get the idea of what's happening.

Ball's in your court, Anaris.

[Anaris]

I'd idly like to note that Sov and a large part of the surrounding buildings are now in immediate danger. Woot, this should be good - we'll see what you do when help turns up, eh?

EDIT: And with that backhand return, the flaming death ball is in your court once more.

[Sovereign]

Well now's a good time for people to settle down for the day, get finishing positions sorted etc before the next night's fireworks.

[Anaris]

Actually, it's a good time for Jean to spend the day throwing his mind around looking for you. Which is what would have happened if you'd gone to sleep in a normal place. Embrace of the Earth sucks.

[Igfig]

MT is alive?! :shock:

[Kai-Loq]

Hey, whaddayouknow. I posted on this rp we were having, I believe.

[Anaris]

That lack of posting there? That wasn't the Anaris Interval, despite what you may think. Now, this is going to look like an excuse. Well, two excuses. But actually truthfully, I couldn't think of anything to post except two lines saying "Jean got bored after a little while because he couldn't find them, then he sat down and brooded for a bit", and maybe two sentences about Pierre running around. I suppose I could make some sort of post about something completely unrelated (a la Peeves). But also I didn't have internet access for a little while. Waaaaaaaah. Oh yeah, and we'd been posting loads so it was someone else's turn, right Sov, Cass?

[Sovereign]

Maybe later.

I was expecting something inspiring Anaris. Deary me.

[Anaris]

Eat me. Nobody in my control is doing anything, because they're reactive. Stop sleeping and come fight me, you girl.

[Kai-Loq]

Err... so, that concludes it, then? Pfeh. Elitist rp's indeed.

[Anaris]

Hahahahah.

[Kai-Loq]

The saddest part is that I was actually naive enough to think this rp would actually GO somewhere :). Foolish of lil' me, wasn't it?

[Anaris]

It's not my turn to post.

I kid you not. I have two lines I can write. If you really want me to remove the silly post and put a real one in its place, it still won't be much unless I pull a Cass (no offense) and stretch out those two lines to like a million by talking about the clouds Pierre sees on his travels around Brettonia and the sunlight on the trees and other completely unrelated airy fairy crap. The only thing I have to say is that Jean is continuing his searching and the others are GOING TO BED. Sorted. Now somebody wake up.

I'm reacting to you guys here. That means you need to act first.

[Kai-Loq]

Well, I'm awake and looking for Sov. Problem is: I don't know where he is. So I can hardly find him, can I?

Soooov!

[Sovereign]

Hmmm...

Soon. Er... probably. Yes, soon.

[Anaris]

Okay, so it hasn't been seven months yet, but sheesh.

[Cassandra]

Posted on Generations.

Yep, its back from the dead! Bwahahahahaha!

Okay, Anaris, Sovereign. Up, up, up!

[Anaris]

Oh... dear. I felt for sure that my ranting would just encourage longer delays. Now I have to do something!

On a serious note, give me a day or two. I've got very irregular access to a computer and I am NOT typing a post on the wii.

[Sovereign]

I am NOT typing a post on the wii.

Do it! Do iiiiit!

You know, she's only trying to get it finished so she can hunt Sov' down with the Inquisition and the Silver Court at the same time.

PS. still ill.

[Anaris]

actually, the length limitation of the wii means i could type about twenty lines, including an average amount of blanks.

plus it's an onscreen keyboard, which is fine until you get into the realms of essays.

[Cassandra]

Get on with it Anny!

[Anaris]

Oh! Yeah, sorry, I posted here then forgot. Soon, I promise.

[Igfig]

Since it's never actually going to happen, here's a summary of where I expected Loose Ends to go:

Don Paco Fernando de Delmarez y Ibaraa y Souza comes to Marienburg or something to find Mahite Martin. After looking for a while, he gets jumped in an alleyway by a female Strigoi vampire. He puts up a relatively good fight, and so she decides rather arbitrarily to force the Blood Kiss on him, but is forced to flee partway through by the arrival of Kasimir. Kasimir takes Don Paco to a safer place and explains to him what happened, and that being only halfway blood-kissed is dangerous and will probably kill Don Paco if he doesn't get it completed.

Don Paco goes forth in a race against time to find this Strigoi that bit him, using his considerable detective skills to track her down while at the same time dealing with the terrible emotions being foisted upon him by the vampiric transformation. Kasimir helps him somewhat, but he's mostly busy with that girl he liked. Dramatic scene where Don Paco finds a useful lead from a guy, but the guy is terribly annoying and before the Don knows what's what, he's killed the guy and drunk his blood.

Eventually he tracks down the vampire who bit him. They fight. Paco uses his wits and cleverly exploits the Strigoi's animalistic instincts to outmaneuver the vampire and subdue her (tying her up, or cutting off all her limbs, or something). He forces her to finish the Blood Kiss and then kills her. He wanders off, vowing to never lose a hold on his human mind and sensibilities despite the beast within. Kasimir finds him and inducts him into the Ordo.

Epilogue: A while later, Paco has journeyed back to his hometown of Delmarez. He goes disguised, of course, since were he to return openly he would be welcomed and would have to stay, which would mean the death of all he holds dear. Posing as a messenger, he tells his family that Don Paco is dead and relates his final wishes to them. After looking back wistfully at his teenaged son, now head of the household, for the last time, he turns and strides forward to begin his new (un)life.

So yeah.

[Cassandra]

Cacophony and Discord (http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20265): a new Ordo Mortis RP, thought up by myself and Sovereign. Anyone is welcome, in any capacity. Most of you should remember the Ophery Falls, I think.

If we don't get much interest from the Ordo, may open it up to other decent writers in non-vampiric categories.

*pokes the corpse* Wake up!

[Anaris]

damn cass, we're supposed to be the necromancers.

edit; i might post. you know. like, once.

[Illya]

Two posts in the same day. Freakin' amazing.

[Anaris]

what what whaaaat?

[Moving_Target]

blarghh

yo, like, what happened to Kasimir?

[Illya]

He died...

[Anaris]

yeah some dude killed him and then everybody got paranoid and me and sov killed everyone else in the Ordo.

sheesh, try to keep up!

[Moving_Target]

Illya gets the "state-the-freaking-obvious-in-an-unhelpfully-vague-manner" prize.

Can someone flesh me out on the details a little?

[Igfig]

"Moving Target"? Who's this "Moving Target" character, anyway?

[meikteila]

I'm assuming this has been abandoned and left for dead long ago? Hm. I guess that's what happens when you name a guild after a Norwegian goth band.

[Kai-Loq]

A Norwegian what now..?

Also, who you calling dead, whippersnapper?

[meikteila]

Ask sov about Mortiis. And I'm sure you've actually posted in my pointless 'who remembers this guy' thread, Kai?

EDIT I checked and you haven't. It's Ramhez. I won't be offended by the whippersnapper comment.

[Kai-Loq]

Good, cause I haven't a clue who the hell you are ;)...

[meikteila]

Ah. Really? That more or less explains the lack of a post in my thread then, doesn't it.

EDIT By the way, anyone, does An Ending still exist? I can't see it anywhere. And is it possible to get onto the old WO forums? I saw mention of The Carnival of Corruption and I came over all nostalgic.

[ramhez]

Hey everybody look, I remembered my password and it only took four days. Does this count as double posting?

[ramhez]

This definitely does anyway. Possibly triple, in fact. I told you this place was dead. I'm the only person posting anything and I'm not even allowed to, what with all the me not being invited and stuff.

[Cassandra]

No, you can't access the old forums unfortunately. I don't know about An Ending.

The current Ordo roleplay is Cacophony and Discord, feel free to do whatever, it needs a plot now that we're done with the whole Sov/Keras/Ada thing.

I don't think that what happened to Kasimir was ever explicitly stated. I know that Sovereign broke his legs and used him to bait Pierre out of hiding. I can only assume that he gave him Final Death soon after that - or you know - not. Regardless, he didn't turn up in Generations or afterwards so whatever goes really. It's not been covered.

I remember you Ramhez! Sort of. Poor Kai, he's such a newbie. :twisted:

[Sovereign]

I don't think that what happened to Kasimir was ever explicitly stated. I know that Sovereign broke his legs and used him to bait Pierre out of hiding. I can only assume that he gave him Final Death soon after that

I recall the exact line being:

"Have you seen the Abyss, Kasimir? Before this night is through, you will know the Abyss."

I liked that line.

[ramhez]

Very gothic, sov. However I do believe that I just gave you a massive opportunity to link me and tell me to post on An Ending, which you didn't take. Is something wrong?

[Kai-Loq]

I remember Ramhez, I just didn't read the edit he did to that last post he made. you know, the "Ask sov about Mortiis. And I'm sure you've actually posted in my pointless 'who remembers this guy' thread, Kai?" one.

Don't ever call me newbie again. I'll sit in the corner and sulk, don't think I won't.

[ramhez]

I'm very flattered. Anyway, thought I'd just advertise the fact that I've posted up a little bit of fluff in the RP forum, at the risk of there being people reading this thread that will understand all the big words. Heck, you might even enjoy it a little bit.

EDIT Yeah I forgot to mention, it's called I Bet You A Dollar That Nobody Cares. That isn't the title for the actual thing, I just called it that in anticipation of the general reaction it's going to receive.

[ramhez]

BUMPETY BUMPETY DOUBLEPOSTEY BUMPSPAM, as I like to call it.

[Chogi]

Wow so I never made the switch to these forums from the old original WO Forums, but I thought I'd pop in and see if anyone remembered me- I seem to recognize a few old names, but I was more involved in Jake Swallows crew... anyone from there still around?

[Kai-Loq]

I recognise the name... vaguely. As in very vaguely.

[ramhez]

Eh, I remember the name. I was in Darus and the Crew. In fact I was in every guild Jake was in, I think... the Order of the Ebon Blade, the Carnival of Corruption, which we actually co-founded... not that any of this is actually relevant.

If you're wondering what these shiny new forums are like, I think the phrase 'General Gameplay Forum: 86 viewing, Roleplay Forum: 1 viewing' sums it up quite nicely. Or this (http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27580).

[Anaris]

you guys remember we didn't let ramhez into the Ordo, right?

[ramhez]

Annie, it has to be said that sometimes I find you quite tediously childish.

[Cassandra]

I remember I banned you and Ramhez from ever joining the Legacy of Shadows. Ever. :p

But that was a long time ago and I'm sure you don't do those sorts of things anymore... :rolleyes:

[ramhez]

Way to kill the whole thread, Cass.

[Moving_Target]

hahahah. I get it.

EDIT: So, is anyone still here? I mean, at all? I check this thread every now and then, but it seems like a freaking ghost town. How long did it take for these forums to go to hell?
