  • ::parchment..torn and scrapish::

    So tired…Mojo..this must be what Carnival felt like..and awarm and we afiled..we failed Mommy... we did not gets it...and Mister Coin. we should tolds him of our plan.. Fahter...he fooled us.. he fooled us, Mojo.. He was never Daddy and and Daddy was never him....we are sorry... Mojo is sorry....sorry... Sakura was sad but we saws her suc prettypink hair..it made Jenihapy...and the Kind Lady.. Mojo .we so thirsty and tired...


  • ::scrap, scrap, scrap, parchment, parchment, parchment. handwriting as kid-like as ever::

    Mojo…remind us to look iinto live forever spells oh? yes Immortaility yepyepyep tha's wordses we are looking for. Hum Never shall we be as asad as we were today. or so it seemmses rightnow. But it was not a long sad. Nopenope It UP and down...feeling Mister Coin ripped away from us ..and given and taken away.... Mojo... if not for Mommy. I do nots think we would be alright... it was Mommy that hlp-ed stay even if we do nots know why Corellon would send us back from Carni's Pashtiva Camp just so we can lose our Mister Coin. And when we finally went to go after Mister Coin in Norwick... thankses to Uncle Imphras.. he tooks me and Mommy there.. But you knew that. Yesyesyes you did.. Mister Coin was not so happy..isnot so happy. Nopenopenope. Not so happyat hall we feels. But..still we is SO happy he stayed. he is not happy though..Mojo thinks it is because trips to the misty plane can do that to you. yesyes.. so close together...it scrambled uses just feeling his tug to join hims both times. Mojo...what do we do? hmm just be there Corellon said... Mommy saidso too. She saids we cannot gives up hope..No matter whats. We needs that party, Mojo.. weneeds it NOW! Everybody needs that Pashtiva. both reasons why you and me founds a way and insisted she and Uncle Reg have a talk. adn youwere rights, Mojo...they dids need to... Mommy seemed happier afters...I think..she does now... Ihopes Uncle Reg is okkie too...maybe the party will help we has to talk to hims about rescheduling it..and hope nothing mores gets in the way.


  • ((Thankya all. ^.^ I have fun doing this. And sometimes it's the only place I get to RP Cera. When ICly she's been removed by her accursed powers to places unknown. I just hipe she can staya little longer this time between rifting events. ^.^ I mean they ge worse each time….even as she gains a little control each time one happens... and no thanks to reent evetns it's reached the point that if anyone is tanding too close to her when she goes..they'll get sucked along right withher. Hm just a little warning that maybe I should be giving but....I trust you people))

    ::scrap of parchment...yes it also has been obessively torn into the scrap it is::

    Oh wow! Oh wow! Oh WOW! Can you believe it, Mojo? Neither can I! Corellon came Carnival and us..IN person. You know. You saws him too, Mojo. He came to our Pashtiva. Yes he did! Now, we was all having much fun when he came so we invited hims to stay and have fun with us. And he did! But as we did he wanted to talk yous?so we lefts everybody for a lil while, You, me and Carnival. Yes we did and wents with Corellon. Hmm but Mojo what do you think about whats he said? He reminded uses of what he told us after our plan to make Mister Coin all ours fizzled and he left Carnival to be with us. That Mister Coin needed us to be with him. Oh, Mojo so confusing ti can be to be us sometimes. Somehow the Mister Coin at the Pashtiva is not the Mister Coin who needs us. The Mister Coin at the Pashtiva has Carnival now..so we dun have to stay here. But everybody is finally so happy. And we woulds miss Carnival who the Most Generous Corellon told you how he helped Carnival get from the misty plane to the Pashtiva. So we do not have to be sads. She is not deads no more. Just living here. I guess we has to go back to the Mister Coin who needs us? but the Most Generous Corellon also said we could come backs to se Carnival any time we wanteds. Oh yes he did! So it will not be so bad. We can visit the Pashtiva on our own now. It will be good. Also he tolds us of how that Mommy and Daddy also neededs us too. Our Family neds us. This our Family has Carnival now. She is happy now. It is good. Now tt?s time go now, Mojo. Time to go be with out other Family. They needs us


  • Cera's diary is my favorite to read. It's fun attempting to piece together what goes on in her mind. And scarily enough, I think I have a fairly good idea! Even so, there are many times when Cera throws me a curve ball.

  • I

    I agree! It's like reading an episode of Twin Peaks. Strange and twisted, I peel away the layers to try and see what really happened. Hell, sometimes I don't even know whats going on in the posts I'm involved with… 😄

  • Peltarch Far Scouts

    Keep it up! Cera's journal is fun to read 😉


  • ((Again…italics represent a kid-loke handwriting, certain letters sketched out backwards, only reitterated the viewers convenience.. going through my collage of entries here for such info when you do not know it exists...woud..not happen..cause you wouldnot be looking for it because you donot know it..exists.. Yay me! WEll know I know and knowing is half the ahh forget it.. ))

    ::torn parchment::

    Yay! We are back at the Pashtiva, Mojo! We are backses! YepYepyep! Happy..sad..happy.. it does get confusing to keep tracks of what peoples are and if there are spiders and doggie beasts out in the woods or just the mists of Mojo.. but guess what.. Carnival is here! YaY! No more arguing or fighting or anything. Mojo…we are home.


  • ::parchment torn here::

    SO happy…so sad...so happy..so sad, Mojo. We is back from teh Pasthtiva... it seemses Carnival did not makes it and took Mister Coin and us wit hers to the misty plane... Everybody was happy again, Mojo back at the Pashtiva...but ehn... we dids miss Carni.. only she was not there where the spiders were gone and no one left the Gypsy Camp. But the mists of Mojo you're friends they were closingin and ruining everyones fun just as we ...found ourselves in the misty plane, Mojo. IT was alright though...after we decied Corellian would look after us. He gave us Mister Coin to be part of you, Mojo. he would not lets us down. But then... just as we were saying we would miss MOmmy and Daddy and all our Family... POOF! There we wents!, Mojo There we wents! Mommy ogts us back! But there was no Pashtiva. Hmm Mister Coin saids it was not even there. MOmmy was sad..the Daddy came.. so sad..so happy... MOmmy and Daddy they found their happy again.. agin? But ehy arleady did...so confusing but they are happy again, Mojo...and so was Mister Coin..once we founds that Carnival had found her happy ..we used one of those scrying things the Kind Ladytaught us..and we found her..at the Pashtiva..maybe Corelien helped her find it... She was SO happy she was. still Mojo. I misses her.


  • ::but a corner of a parahment in a shaky formerly flowing handwriting…the smiley's gone and the words themselves smudeged::

    Mojo….no more strength....no...no more jokes....no moe plans...

    ((This'l lteach me to rely on dice.. >.


  • ((At least I can still lay Cera here for now. Yay. ^.^ -.- ))

    ::le parchment..italics, a cild's looking handwritting::

    Oh, Mojo, I'ms so gladses . It was funny at firsts but everything is better now. The spiders are gones from the forest outoide of camp. We thinks your friends are out there now. We here's them whispering in the shadowses at the edge of camp. But guess what, Mojo! We is not the only one who hearses them! Mommy and Daddy! And…Mister Coin everybody... ALL our Family hearses them. So we do nots stay at teh dge of Camp. The Kind Lady says its' not good to go outside the camp anyway. But it is alright, Mojo. There is no needs togo outside camp. Uncle Reg has arragned a neverending Pashtiva! Now that everybody can be happy agains! Why was anyne sad to begin with, Mojo? Oh well no matters. WE is home. All the peoles we love is home. and happy. Maybe..we wills just go on having this Pashtiva forevers, Mojo. We'ld mightlikes that. Next up is the stor teeling. Last storytlling.. Heee that was funny, Mojo..even Uncle Kanen gots up and ids the new song you taughts me..the 'Hokey Pokey'? He put his whole self in. He put his whole self out and then di the hokey pokey. Because Mojo that IS what it's all about.

    ::Meanwhile..back in Narfell on a completely different scrap of parchment this loopy, smiley-ridden script was written by Carnival:
    :

    Why did you not wake me, Mojo? we were supposed to put Cera's plan iinto action and finsih up my back-up one. Oh well soso tired. We will play our jokes later. Maybe then the Kind Lady will help us with my plan. Good night, Mojo.


  • That morning, the day had been as promising as any other. The birds sang and the dew glistened in a few shafts of sunlight breaking through the forest canopy. The Camp was so beautiful first thing in the morning, its smells and music. It was always something Cera welcomed as she emerged from Katya?s Tree, now also her own home. Little did she realize that her whole world would shatter before her eyes in only a matter of mere moments. It would not be the first time and not the last; however, her fragile world found itself under such assaults at an alarming rate these days.

    Playing, that is what her love and stability had promised. Her Mommy and Mister Coin were only going to have a little play fight. When metal met metal though and she saw the blood lust in her Mommy?s eyes it soon seemed to be anything but a game. Her ?mother? (only in Cera?s fractured mind) and her Coin (himself one of the strongest voices of Mojo within her head since their elven bonding) exchanged vicious blows. Each Coin and her Mommy, beating the other down the forest soil at least once. Her Uncle Reginald was also no where to be seen, maybe he went for help. San thought such as that was fleeting and only in the back of her din filled mind. Mojo, the voices that never ever left her alone, voices from extraplanar beings great and small, grew ever louder as things spiraled out of control..

    Her world already laid threadbare in those few moments of battle between Kara and Coin when not soon after word did Braeth, her daddy by delusion (as Kara was her mommy by delusion), stormed upon them. The others around seemed so distant to her, she was barely aware they even existed. She did not hear their words, not even her Mommy?s or Daddy?s angry words registered past the opening volleys. Only their angry tones resonated among the racket already crowding what little conscious thought she was allowed day to day. Then it happened, Daddy through off the Bracelet that Grows, the symbol of his connection to Mommy. She knew this well, her own wrists donned with her own Bracelet that grows.

    Little else mattered after that, nothing else got through the head splitting noise broadcast out to Coin and reflected back to her as a sensation of being overwhelmed. Perhaps a brief reaction the fire between Kara and Braeth on Coin?s part, yet the magic had been already flowing through her. Now it was allowed to flood her body. The raw power of the Weave found its way through her very being as it had before and every time her world delicately constructed world fell apart. As the silver energy and lightning of raw magic wracked her form, all went black and she was swallowed into shadow. The place with no color. The Plane of Shadow.

    This was but the first of many places she would pass through and not a one would she remember, consumed as she was by each plane?s raw magic. When she did awake, she found herself in a very familiar place but not Narfell. It was a place that had been with her no matter where she went. But it was quite a bit more real then ever. There was no dreamy fog, no odd disembodiment or detachment of simply reliving a memory. It was real. It had smell and texture and scery just as the forest had that morning?.and then?there was the forest molding itself out of the surroundings.. What been cold dark stone of a dank cavern was now a sunny forest glen. Cera smiled up at the trees and sky and then she heard laughing. It was NOT Mojo. For once it was not Mojo. A quick glance around brought into view, her Family. Those she had just left behind. And they were happy, playing, running. Mommy, Daddy, Mister Coin?even Uncle Kanen was happy and playing. Tag was it called? Yes?she was going to like this place. She was going to like this place A LOT.


  • ::small parchment scrap,, a flowing cursive script, again smileyhearts obseesively dotting each dotted letter::

    Where is she? She did not comeback with Mommy and Mister C. We felt in Mister C. She's gone, Mojo. M I thhink. Mister C felt a little different. Hmm he sounded alright though. Mommy stil has not found her smile. And the way Mommy and Mister C were talkingg about Daddy It was not ververy good joke, Mojo. It seems its up to me now. At laest Cera got me some more spider eyes first, Mojo. This plan of her adnd yours. It does involve a playing a good trick on the bnndit king. I'd love to see the look on his face. But first we must find that stupid thing she got in that temple place. If we are ging to see this through we'll need that thing. I think she left it around here somewhere. I think, Mojo, we will have to ask Mommyor Dadddy or the Kind Lady Katya to help us find it. But we should not ell who it is for. Hee our little joke, Mojo. Juste between the two of us. One thing about Cera. she be athef ool of us. But she knows how to smile. And this plan. Will bring smiles for sure. Hopefully even to Mommy. I hope am not too tired today.

    ((I do so wish I had had you people send Cera away before the whole match thing..oh well for now I suppose if Coin or Kara were snoopy enough one or both of them would find Cera's collection of parchemnts heaped amongst her things in the Tree. The parchemnts would not be in any particular order and might only go back as far as the first mention of katya. Other notables to be found a Tyrran holy symbol, a crude doll of Kara fashioned with that lock of Kara's hair, and the last copies of Cera's record from Spellhold detaililng aa few of the lab experiments and tests conducted on her to expand and exploit Cthe young Cera's latent planar and hypersensitivty to the Weave. And well also reiterating the story of how could she manifest such power when merely 6 yeard old and in 7 years at Spellhold how little had been accomplished to reproduce that result. I suppose it's about time at least Coin understood taht much about her.. ^.^))


  • ::parchemnt…torn, TORN, torn parchment:
