There would be nothngs for us to do... Yesyes? Mojo will you tell your plans again, laters?

Mojo likes them... no Carnival did .not Mojo. Or maybe in emegencieses Mojo can give thems out to who needs them mostest._


  • ::::scrap of parchment….glowy, shifting pastel rainbow of cihld-like handwriting::

    Curses! Curses, Mojo! Curses! Mommy did not looks so well the others nights..and we founds out laters…she was put..to sleeps again.. Mojo.....we must learn to keep Mommy on THIS side of the misty plane... yespyepyep. Mojo... What with Doli and all and... w and all we's also heards Mommy and Daddy are nots togethers they is not special to each other any mores.... They thinks we nots lisenting but tehre we is... Mojo... Mojo. UCrses it all! We hopes it just No it just cannot be so.. Noes of it can be..but... Mommy was not soo good looking that night for th e lil time we gots tosee her ..before the Wind stoles us away. And then Uncle Vilmar.. Uncle Vilmar he will not talks to them... And..and does not seems like he'ld let talking to thems be ehlepsful.. All of them togethers..would be who he's looking for in his dream.. but... Moj... oh we must talks to Auntie Karli ors Auntie Jenna..they godses are smteries in such thingses.. Maybe if we broughts ones of thems to Uncle Vilmar's dreamscape? Or maybe even brought Mommy to the Wind and then to Tyr's house? Maybe ones of his friends would hlelps, Mommy for uses... since Mommy is so glued to him in many wayses. Mister Coin.. Mister Coin though.. he ha not been so.. either..distracted it seems lately with the Bondy Dwarf around Camp...Maybes it's just the Swordmasters too.. Mojo... so much to thinks on...hmm Curses, Mojo! Curses! how many hugs does it takes??


  • ::a nominal torn scrap of parchment bearing Cera's glowing, pastel, child-like script::

    A lots has happened, Mojo. A lots has happeneds. Yesyes.. Lotses. We sure hopes Uncle Vilmar listens to whats we tolds him when we wents back to his dreamscapes yesyyes? Yes. Mojo, what we tlds him about going to each of those special Teapotses he cares abouts… those special Teapots to hims in his ink talking book and talks to them in person... confronts them if he musts with his feelings... each of thems he must alks to to finds out more truly about his own self feelings.. Once he does that's he dream wil clears up.. They shoulds... he musts confronts his feelings themselves as wells.. Or Mojo.. I fears forhims... yesyes...Uncle Vilmar coulds lose hisself to this dreamses if they ares allowed to persists. Hmm we just mays have to ask those special Teapots of his ourselves for him....ones at a time..if he will nots.. or maybe see Aunti Karli abouts it.. We would nots like it if he suddenly lost the same sanity we is blessed withs, Mojo.. Nopenope.. It would not be funs to be so crazy. hmmmm Oh Uncle Vilmar go to thems, otay? I hopes he does... especially afters the Peltarch gaurd-type Teapots were mean and nasty and grumpy to hims... And all he was tryingk to tod was helps us Romni yesyse he was.. that is all... gets the healing from the big city.... poor Uncle Vilmar... It seemses Mojo we will has to be the healing peoles of the Camp for nows... we dids get some potions and bags from Peltarch and Jiyyd... so at leasts we has thems but another way must be founds we can only has so much. Good things Doli dun gets it.. that's darkness she gave us in escaping lasted SO long days it seemed, Mojo only once did we take to the Wind to go to Uncle Vilmar's dreamscape again did it goes away. She is not good, Mojo..Mojo no goods she is not.. Too grumpy. Poor Doli...teapot Azx... Az... Or was it Auntie Amissa? saids it's not even Doli anymores... It is good to see Daddy so much though..at the party oh yes! There is that good newses! The Caravan did finally gets here! Yay! Mojo.. Yay! It was not quite as big a celebration as we was hoping ot has for thems but there was and lots peoples from all overs came for it..at least at firsts.. Not justs Romni. It was good yesyes... lots of Family and everythings was theres.. Next times, Mojo though we wills has to have gameses and stories we thinks. Yesyesyep. Mojo..the Kind Lady is worried though about the Swordmasters. Tero and Brun..yeyes.. they cans be trusted yes.. but Tero ..he is not of us..the Rom..Not the Oath has he taken....so keeps our eye on him, Okkay, Mojo?


  • ::good ol' scrap of parchment..torn as obessively as ever::

    It work-ed! It work-ed!, Mojo! It works! Yay! Did you see? the spiral it did work.. we mades it in the Tree yesyes where the Kind Lady does her rituals yes youknow the ones she is teaching us? yes those ones.. in the big red circle. And to the Wind we went! the spiral worked! We will still has to se if works to take Mister Coin and Mommy and Daddy or any other Family with us..but it dids work! Off to Uncle Vilmar's dreamscape we wents! Boy he was rights when he saids he not sleep very much… we musta spent almost forevers looking for its.. or so it seems...but we founds it... yes we dids. we may have togo back again, Mojo.. It was not see easy getting in...and I dun know who we saw... but we dids see that woman he says he saw in his ink talking. But I dun think he saw our signal... We dun move all that good eithers.. Hmm But I thinks we learned how to, Mojo... yesyes.. it just takes practice. Like it took practice to more in the Wind. Hmm maybe if we goes back... we will sees more clearly. yes and dun forgets Mojo.. we musts get Uncle Vilmar's ink talking book back to hims..


  • ::triangular scrap of parchment ..with the ink seeming gone for god replace by the glowing, shifting pastel rainbow, Cera seems to have learned to make permannent when she needs to…for these do not fade as her drawings on Family members have::

    I hopes Mister Coin hads his own kinda fun once did wakes up, Mojo. hm oh yesyes. He dids.. We sure dids! Talking with Aunti Jenna when that funny Little Green Man came alongs.. came alongs he dids.. outta nowheres.. Maybe talks the Wind too. I duun know. Anyway, Mojo…remembers the agmes he gave us? Riddles? yepyep! We even gots the first one! Selune! That was the answer! Oh but second two...they twisted our minds inside out..even you did nots figure them out as fast as the first ones.. But luckily, Auntie Jenna is smarsts as she is pretty and happy. yeyse.. she knew them.. She knews the alst answers to the Little Green Man's riddles. And then he gaves us his gold for getting all thre right! Yay! It wa SO fun just playingk.. Too bads he only comes arounds once a year.. We really should haves the Little Green Man over for Tea sometime, Mojo.

    ::this particular ranting seems tohave spille over smore than one ripped scrap of parchment..like this second one all in her glowing pastel, child-like handwriting::

    Hmm well thens I do believe we wents on to Norwick..Auntie Jenna and us.. We dids SO want to go see Mommy and Daddy…and it is always goodses to check on what is being hidden by that nasty, nasty Well. The Kind Lady and uses still cannae see it in our bowl. It sure dids take lil longer than usual when we boges by ourselves...then we just runs.runs all the way there before our prettyblue spell and ivibilty goes poof on uses. But we had Auntie Jenna wif us..so need for Mojo tog o so fast.. plus..plsu..there the nastiest of banditos laying not far from the Camp. yesyes.. Did you see the, Mojo? And somany of thems too! You know the nasties usually so much further northses. Yepyep. it looked like they hads ventured out of the bandit king's cave.. Oh I hopes he's not back.. He..might be REALLY mad at us.. you and me Mojo..... well he better not be backs..or..or...or we we'll hast to makes him.. go away again! Umm but on purpose this times... last time we ened nearly going boom becuase of thats. mmm yes there was quite a few banditos... more than usual yesyes.. even further souths they were places they had not been for some time.. Luck we weres though Auntie Jenna and us were.. running into a few otherses ..other Teapots who helped us put them banditos to sleep. yesyes To sleep they went.. nasty nasties. We did finally gets to Norwick though! yes we did! we did! Mojo...it is not so easy finding Mommy or Daddy for a visit. NOpenope.. For after Auntie Jenna wents off..she was sleepy yesyes?

    ::yet a third scrap with the same ranting continued across it::

    We stayed with a few other Teapots we knew.. Safinaz yesyes her special Teapot, Nou.. N- oh we is not so good with elf elf names.. Mojo which is funn since is three parts elf ourself yesyes…they talked awhile tand then we had to go not long after in looking for Mommy and Daddy.. Funny things iswhen we gots back we dids find Mommy rights with the same elf elfs we had just lefts yesyes. And another one who turns out to be oneof our little Sakura's friends! Yeee! Berret..Teapot Berret.. We likes her lots.. so glad she is oneo of Sakura's friendses.. Sakura needs them she does.. She does... We dids even find Daddy too at the time we found Mommy or he foudns us or something.. But then some other people.. a people who was a barbarian, Mojo tinks was also along. yesyes.. Poor people he had stolen something? or something of another elf elf's? Elf elf elf! Hee silly dress lady of Norwick.. And and that's how it was we would finds Mommy and Daddy and then lose them again... We must learn to keep ups or learn to makes them hold still for a visit.. Hee.. siilly Mojo. It was Teapot Berret who helped us finds them once and for alls..she need to speaks with Mommy so we wents look together. That's when we happened onto Aunt Ari and Uncle Call, Mojo. Yay! and theyknew where Mommy and Daddy were. Yes they did.. in Daddy's new house! Did you know Daddy had ones in Norwick? Nope niether did I. That's when we founds Mommy and Daddy! And Teapot Safinaz again. Yay! But.we had found all finally where they could nots gets away. But...then nasty beastie had to go and be grumpy at the gates of Norwick they all had to go see if has to be put to sleep or not. Though I think Mommy had to go sleep herself not sleep in the misty plane just sleep sleep, Mojo.

    ::and at last the final scrap of this one ranting, just torn and oddly angular as the rest::

    So long had it taken us to finally finds them though that the nasty Well had made us quite tired..so it tooks us a lil onger of resting before we could after thems to see this beastie… but we dids not finds the beastie or any Family that wents. s we hads to go home back to the Kind Lady and away from the Well. Now Oh yes.. this is ALL along with find ing Uncle Vilmar too! yesyes.. while we looking for Mommy and Daddy. we founds Uncle Vilmar... He understands much, Mojo..about not venturing into the blurry and such...where the bad things lay waiting. Hmm funny thing he dropped a book when he hads to go... its a very important book .. yesyes see it's right here cause i picked up for hims.. it looks like he talks in ink too. It does talkof that dream he tolds us about.. the one haunting hims.. yeyes like Father..did.. when we as still a princess of the Elemental Plane of Fire... nasty Father. We may has to take to the Wind again before we learns how to takes Mister Coin or Mommy or Daddy or any Family with us..to helps Uncle Vilmar wit this dream..yesyes.. we promised to see if we could see what he saw...by giong to his dreamscape.. 'Cause his dream is lost somewhere in all that blurryness your voices make, Mojo. so we'llhas to go there ourselves to see ..and gives him..Uncle Vilmar the sign. Hmm maybe we still test the spiral outs on our way to the Wind and Uncle Vilmar's dreamscape...


  • ::shraedded parchment, there is a slight change in place of ink the child-like handwriting is anodd lgowing, pen, an evershifting rainbow of pastel hues::

    Guess what? wait you laways know, Mojo casue you are always theres with me.. SIlly us. Nell..he gave us the good newses that a Caravan of fellow Romni is headed for the Camp! YAy! Mister Coin took us to spread the word.. We tolds those we could find in Camp and then went to Norwick to tell some more peoples.. But Mister Coin found us most of the poples all in one group that wewanted totells on teh way! Hee! See? There was Mommy and…Auntie Jenna and that elf oh we is bad that we forgets her name so sad she was..and got killed by spiderses but we took to Friar Fred..yes thems yesyes..all on the roads to Peltach they was going...but...we tolds them about teh Caravan adn they went on their way..then Uncle Vilmar..he came running about vampireses in the gavreyards of norwickmmbut we won't talks of that... ever again. Nor the third spider to bites us and the silly Myrkul dwarrf.. Mojo we shall not tinks of thoses again.. too much has we thoughts on such things by fires while tired...and it only makes you loud and us more tired..oo spirals we hopse you is the ansewer to taking Mister Coin < mommy, Daddy and WHOLE Family wit us to the Wind if we needs....'cause we is not going to tilll we learns how..andd it making us tired staying out of the Wind so long.. mm no thinks on that we has a reception to plan! Oh Kind Lady! Nell! Kashana!


  • ::somewhat typical torn scrap of parchment::

    So much has happened… Mommy is sad. Mommy is happy. Gonegone. Yesyes MOjo loves Mister Coin. Mojo loves Mommy. Mojo loves Daddy. Seems not so..so sad we could nots help...did maeks it to help... it is so..we is tired, Mojo. Hee.. There was Teapot Jenna and Teapot Vilmar both comes wait no Teapot Jenna lives amongst the Rom now. Yes..the Kind Lady has said as much. Hmm and she seemed special to Teapot Perence that we mets briefly the other day too..or was that ealier this same day.. Hm Teapot Honsa also seems tohink speical of her.. SIlly us, Mojo. it is good to have so many tothink you are special. Mojo...we do want to take tht wind....but we has to sooon..It takinglonger to rest before we can gets up agains...like before ...we stating hates the side of fires...too long has we been too tired to gets up from the firesides.. Spelleeaver..we wents but did nots finds help for taking Mister Coin with us to the Wind but...stil we dids not finds the people on the list while we was theres...so maybe they knowses..

  • ::parchment scrap splatered with water stains and sciprted by the hand of a child..or cild-seeming script::

    So much to say, Mojo and so little we can actully puts down. Hush, hush, top secret. It was good to find Mommy…she did nots know we had not gone boom.. That's okkay..we not sure if we knew she had move-ed to Norwick. Did we? Fuzily we rmembers something abouts it.. but she musts be..if she is a miltia job for thems on top of her other jobses...including being our Mommy. So busy..busy, busy busy. She saids Uncle Kanen had a hush, hush plan like Uncle Fish. I thinks that's why Mommy and Uncle Fish tooks us to their big hall.. So big it is there. Uncle El.. we has not ssen him in so long.. he wwas theres.. ^.^ Planning plans with Uncle Fish..he was. Lots pf planning plans did they do...planning the plans they had planned into one plan. Nasty..nasty wizards.. Mojo..we hates them.. The funny thing yes.. both planses were abouts the same thing. Heehee. It's a good thng.. or alal that planning of the plans into one plan would nots have worked. Stillt we not talks about it..though.. Mommy and Uncle Kanen it seems left already.. Uncle Fish's plan did not have the time? ..the time to finished being planed into the one planned plan they did plan. Watching them in the Kind Lady's bowl we has been..were'nts we supposed to go withs them?, Mojo? But...not withouts Uncle Fish..maybe that plane is no longer planned..so..so we stays here and helpes the Kind Lady..but..Mojo I'm scared to look into the bowl again....We dun have a good feeling about this... will you looks next times? Theyhas so long to tgo.. buts Icans no look.

    ((So Trey is Braeth ?.. Excellent… yeesss... that will do nicely.))


  • ((OOC - It's rough doing anything emotional with a character when you are empathic to the character… Trust me, I know this VERY well. I've actually needed tissues many nights because of the emotions. And when Kara was totally depressed and in her Anger and being a bad girl? That was overload. I'm SOOOOOO glad that Cera did not go boom. Kara will be quite relieved.))


  • ::a nice nomral scrap of parchement..perhaps torn only in half, a flare of atail that could be a scrap in own right if were ripped thusly ::

    _HAH! Mojo We made it back from the Wind! Back from the Wind! The Man in Blue!.. The Shiny he gave us.. It is much more than a simple Shiny. Oh yes! Much better than a just a Shiny..but just Shinies are good too. But this Shiny the Man in Blue gave us. it…slurps the Weave you draw into us when thinks on it.. is that called focus? I think so, Mojo. Oh Mojo! Not tired are we! We are not! SO SOSOSOSOSO happy... Mister Coin.. And Mommy and Daddy and all our Family..they will be happy too that we are not having gone boom...at leasts for now.... We may have to visit the Wind fully more often to keep from ever going boom... But that is okkay... even now we seems to be partly in the Wind.....easier each time we go..almost like we is there and here at the same times.. Mojo will figure it outs later. now we just SO happy... oh yes we are planewalking now. we is.. which reminds us.. Uncle Fish...he has a plan...but it is topsecret hushhush so we only talk abouts it away from the ink. Okkay? Okkay. Mojo loves you, bye bye.

    ((I do not recommend playing a character in a slow death plot...especially if you have bad habit of feeling a little of what your charcter is supposed to be feeling. I was entirely ready do Cera's end early just to get it over with, so I went asked Braeth OOCly if the Man in Blue (That being Trey ^.^) if he had any good news for Cera...Trey being the absolutlely last avenue I had not fully explored and itat that 11th hour kinda hting. There it was in..the litte gem already there an..so simple anyway..no need for anything furer except Thake! ::gives Braeth another hug!:: I'ld see about some beer but.. the world of beer can be even more complicated than wine...O.o ))_


  • ((::hugs and kisses MM:: Thankie! Even if I did write it all. I still feel for ya..having to…deciphor all of Cera's...thoughts.. I hope it didn't hurt your head...too much. But thank you! Yay! Le'ts ee this probably puts me at the cap for Cera... I think.. ^.^))

    ((Oh for today's entry in Cera's rantings see the story "Inevitable Boom"))
