South Beach Diet

Found myself hangin' with the fearless fen "twins" of Clan Destine again. You know the two...the scintillating hotties that routinely whip their tails around in coquettish fashion, those twin towers of lithe femme fen fatale.

Well, my approach is fight fen fire with Zo power! In this particular instance that entailed "accidentally" losing my shirt a few times, teasing the two with offers of a coin-fueled disrobing.

Eventually the steam had settled down. But really, I'd had my chance well prior to that when both ended up on the end of my chain. Had I not been perilously close to joining their poor bloodied bodies in the gritty sand of south beach (south of brambles on the way to Sav), I might've taunted them a bit. As it was, I was running and running scared at that. It was pathetic to see this once proud Zo running from the likes of baby crawlers. Any other day and I'm there whippin' out the drawn butter ready to roast those little fuckers. But when you're clinging desperately to the last pixel of health and kicking yourself for using your last tykan out on a solo coin hunt a few days earlier, you tend to put pride aside and hope to deftly sidestep the marauding lobster-wannabes.

My next trip to South Beach is gonna include at least one tykan, a boat load of drawn butter, and a red-n-white checkered picnic blanket. It's gonna be a crawler boil! And if those two fen ladies join me again, I'll be sure to bring the Chardonnay.

We were never here!

Look at me! I'm a trend setter...

...actually, Creed is the trend setter. Her blog was the first to hit Clan Destine airwaves.

Sian has a new blog and boy is it HOT! as in pink, as in hot fen pink! Check out the new link to it.

In other news, I found a new-to-me area. I was out coining in the brambles and kept going south to the beaches. I wasn't sure how far I could get, but just kept on truckin' only really running into some crawlers, some rocks and the occasional mini-me-lsw (whatever the hell those things are called...all I know is that when they're killed, they look like...uh, nevermind [ask me in the lands if you want to be grossed out]).

Well, after a bit, Sabs ss'd me to find out where I was at and I told her a rough idea and challenged her to find me. I thought for sure there was no friggin' way she could find me, especially all nicely tucked away in a very narrow stretch of beach. Well, she did find me, and fast, I might add. Impressive. She let me off the hook for giving her all my coin, thankfully. We sat and watched the birds and little lobsters come and go and just chit chatted for awhile.

Then Creed fell, I think intentionally as a means to get us to find her (sneeky little fen). So me and Sabs headed back to meet her at mirror. Went a lot quicker getting back there than the other way. Sabs hadda run so me and Creed did some speed coinging combing all SF snells.

That's about it. I'm looking forward to tonight's clan hunt, which I hope will feature a solid turnout. If we get a good showing, we might be able to go at something really difficult, like GI or something.

We were never here!!

What has happened is still happening...

I suppose starting up a scroll like this, it might seem like there's a lot that has happened since the beginning to now. I sorta gave a broad overview of what some of that was and while I wish I was doing this since way back then, there's absolutely no way I can really cover everything as thoroughly as if I was doing it all along. So every now and then I suppose I'll just bring things up anecdotally.

For instance, the one particular time that most stands out in my head (aside from the love sammich Creed and Sian made of me on the new fen papazan in the clan house....hmm-hmm-hm-hmmm) is the time Rhone became Rhone the Mysterious in town. For some reason, I started on some serious salesmanship of Rhone's abilities, for reasons beyond this small Zo brain of mine. Just figured he'd do some mundane things like make coins appear and disappear, and then call it magic. Rhone did a few of these things, which didn't impress the small crowd that had gathered, mostly just Althea. But then he suddenly announced that he'd change me into a halfling. My first thought was "uh-oh" as is often the case with my first thought, but this time I really meant it. How's he gonna pull this off, I thought. "how you gonna pull that off, Rhone," I ss'd him.

Just to increase the suspense, I decided to put my cloak on. I pulled the hood over my head in the same instance that Rhone miraculously changed me into a halfling. So there was a brief glimmer of me as a halfling, and then I was cloaked. And EVERYONE in the crowd started pleading for me to remove the cloak. So with a little suspensful stalling, I took the cloak off and there I was a halfling. It was amazing and hysterical.

Rhone the Mysterious stayed in TC for some time changing people into this, that and the other. To this day, I still don't know how he did it.

Otherwise, life in Puddleby for this attractive Zo is pretty regular. I'm still trying to pass third circle. Seems like it's been forever that I've been second. I'm not so much in a rush as I just want to see my training pay off. What's the line from A Few Good Zo Men....oh yeah, "You don't have to wear a patch on your arm to have honor." Somehow that applies here. If you figure out how, let me know.

Last night we had a clan hunt. The hunt was sparsely attended again, but we made do pretty well with those that did show. We started in the dizzying environ south of mirror, Brambles. T'rools bore me so. But there was good fur there abouts. After pretty much clearing Brambles, we moved on to the marsh and worked Sav for awhile. The thing I noticed in Sav was how fast our healers are all becoming. With it just being me and Rhone for fighters, I also saw how far the two of us are coming along in our training. There were a few instances where even a couple months prior we would've had trouble. Three Sav Maha's coming to partake of the amuse bouche known as Sim, only to find the business end of my axe and the make-an-appointment end of Rhone's sword. We continued beyond Sav when Hunk announced that he was doing the Maha challenge. So, we headed for LP.

At LP, we met a few LSW's that needed to be exterminated. One in particular caused us quite a bit of trouble, felling Rhone twice. Thankfully, Bakunan showed up right about then and we all headed back to the LSW, who really had a date with Destine. poor little worm didn't stand a chance. That pretty well cleared LP for us and we all headed to River Tunnell. I got lost along the way, typical. And at some point we were bashing bears, much to my dismay. How I loathe bears. good furs, but too much trouble. Plus, talk about a passive aggressive animal. One minute, they're nose to the wall and the next they lash out. At RT, we only found a few red slugs, no purple. Then there was a sun wyrm yonder in that one part. But no one could hit it. we had fun trying tho.

In the end, we were never here!

Welcome to the Gotoo Zo's Scrolls

Well, taking the dive and starting up a scroll. What the hell. All I wanted to do was post a comment on Creed's scrolls but I was forced to create an identity here and figured now that I have one I might as well do something with it. Kinda always wanted to do some writing anyway, so what the fuck.

OH, can I swear? fuck it, it's my scroll.

so yeah, I'm the Gotoo Zo, Ootog. Get it? hehehe, smart fuckin' Zo, eh?

It's been awhile since I got screwed by that shithead Mobius. But I don't much mind. It's better here than it was there. And home is where the Zo makes it.

After sequestering myself in the library to get some much needed info, I finally ventured out and discovered a wild, wild place. If memory serves (and usually it's like a bad waiter that spills pasta sauce on my newly bleached jeans) I was taken on a whirlwind tour with Sailor Earth in which I think I frustrated her more than not. I do recall Harper taking me around, back when Harper was a noob too (she's a major force in the rescue healing arts and UofP now). Then somewhere along the way, I met up with Cyan, Brewmanjii and Wave. Cyan's remained a good friend and now a clanmate (will get to that), but Brew and Wave have disappeared. They must've met with some bad shit in the forests surrounding town. That's the only thing I can come up with. At any rate, I miss those two dudes. Good guys to put back ale with. And Brew was just one funny sylvan.

Cyan and I always talked about starting a clan. We just never had the numbers. Then Sim entered the picture and we sorta had the beginnings of something serious taking shape. After a few hunts together, we somehow got in touch with Sian. Ok, now this little hottie fen had her shit together. Somehow she'd gotten her hands on an orgaberry and sold it for big coin. She wanted to cover the entire fee for starting a clan. I couldn't stomach someone else covering that (stubborn Zo, what can I say). So eventually, when everyone had enough coinage to start it up, we formed Clan Destine (we were never here!!). Sian came up with both the name and the clan call.

We've pretty much been tearing up the joint since and have grown quite big. We now boast 9 members, I think. I don't count much, but if I have it right, we now feature: Cyan, Ootog, Sim, Sian, Bakunan, Rhone, Sabine, Creed, Claudia and Bir Guzzyl. Guess that's 10. see, can't count. Zo don't do math. We're always on the look out for a mystic and maybe one more healer.

Anyway, that's a quick intro to my history.

we were never here!!
