Comments on the "Ominous Events"

Post by Gonzoron of the FoS »

Hmm... just what are you guys up to?

http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/foru ... php?t=6197

Sounds like something big in the works; what's this "incantation" about?

I hope that all the FoS members working on this in Sourange doesn't mean the Sea of Sorrows Gaz has been cancelled! The site's not closing, is it? I don't think I could handle that!

And who's the Zoltan fellow? another new member? (Didn't Deepshadow just join like a few months ago?) Is it really Rafe?

in anycase, something weird is definitely going on, I cam feel it... hope it's something good! :?

Oh, I fear for the worst... I just KNOW it...

It feels like October, 31st 2003 all over again... :cry:

No, the SoS Gaz isn't canceled.

Yes, we've been up to something ... but it's not a Going-Out-Of-Business blowout event. We are switching servers, however.

Yes, Zoltan is a new FoS character. You'll meet him tonight.

But not quite yet. For now, things are a bit ... unsettled ... at la Maison. :twisted:

Yeah, sure you are. Well, I'm still voting for the wicca store, in case it's true. ;)

Well, congrats, Rafael, or should I say, "Zoltan"?

I am bit puzzled about this, though.

My character in the Frat game's continuity was "Le Noir Faineant".

I guess Roti will write him in later...

Or should there be TWO of us?!
:soth:

Still have no admin rights, so I can't see into the Frat's secret boards...

I wonder what they're hiding.

In the meantime, already deleting any fan fiction threads that are older than two months.

Love the board there, but too much redundant verbiage there for the new server to bear it.

Okay, Raf, looks like your "Frat for a Day" title has nearly expired. :wink: But as a consolation prize, to sooth the crushing anguish and humiliation of demotion, I whipped up a couple more Ominous Events for tonight. (Sorry, but 'Le Noir Faineant' didn't rate a cameo. :D )

Unfortunately, I kinda do need to hit the sack sometimes -- yeah, I could go without, but grading exams on zero sleep tends to give wonky results like "G-" :roll: -- so I won't be able to finish this scenario until some time tomorrow. :oops: But, OTOH, that means you guys will have time to speculate about what may or may not be going on, while you're waiting for the finale.

And yes, this really is happening to Viktor and his pals. It's not another April Fool prank ... except, possibly, our little joke on the FoS avatar-characters, themselves! :wink:

:shock: What?!

You mean, it was just a mean prank?! :(




















:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Of course it was!

I find it quite amusing that I create chaos and disorder around here EVERY year, and people still fall almost always... :)

That said...

Congratulations, Ron!!!

:D

Browsing through the new page as I write this! :D

Thanks everyone. It was fun to play dumb for a while.

Can we all give some applause to Rotipher for the awesome in-character story? It's so good, I'm hanging in suspense, and I already know what's going to happen! :)

Applause!

I can't really clap right now, what with typing.
I'll just bang my head against the screen to simulate the sound.

That's just as good, right?

Ow...

But... wha... I... NOOOOOOOOOOO! *breaks down into tears* THE MULTIVERSE! WHYYYYYYYYYY! I... I... there's gotta be some way out of here...

Mandatory April 1st gaslighting attempts aside (;)), congratulations Gonzoron! And excellent story there Rotipher! I do believe the propper term is "5 severed digits out of 5"... but the fellow I found only had three fingers and a thumb... so four fingers and a big toe work well enough?

Okay, gang, due to the malfunction in the online space-time continuum, this is coming out a little later than planned. Nevertheless, there's a new post in the Ominous Events story, picking up where we left off.

Heeeere's Zoltan! :D

(AKA Ron's promised avatar, who ought to get together with Wiccy and compare tattoos sometime :wink:)

Speaking of FoS avatars, where's Deepshadow's ?
