In death, there comes new life... such is the way of things. But what life will spring forth from the timid shield when the metamorphosis ends? A delicate creature of pearly wings and graceful legs and quivering antennae, perhaps?


Well, just to ruin it all for you, the chrysalis is actually going to reveal a sinister, malevolent little faery sometime tomorrow evening, who will raise the armada of the greatest quantity so far in recorded history, to attack an even greater power... the neighbor's dog.

People really need to learn to take scale into consideration... honestly.

The dog will probably win, by the way.

*First comment halling!* (If some poor ignorant should wander past, the halling is a norwegian folk dance in which lots of men in weird cloths try to kick a hat off a stick that some lady holds as high up in the air as she can. It’s really fun. And no, I can’t really dance it, but it’s still too fun to not mention in a first comment.)

Redness! I, uhm, pity the fae. You don’t think she could rally some nice kittens to help her against that dog? So that maybe she’d win? I dunno, I think I’m on her side, malevolent or not.

Redness! That’s really all I have to say. I like the redness. So yea. Yay for you. And the redness.

Redness!

:-) Kim Schoonover (Darth Maulīs scary sister) replies: "I’m ignorant. *waves* Well, I was.

Ashuka here wants me to write ’blah’. At least, I think that was it; it’s rather hard to hear in here. Stupid american cafeterioid thingies... actually, my school’s too poor to have a cafeteria. We have a half-arsed cross between a cafeteria and an auditorium, instead... dubbed it ’auditeria’. >.< Hopeless. Bloody hopeless.

Holy crap, the only people I know around here live on different continents from me. You guys are European, Megan’s an Aussie, and hell, even the people I know on Guild Wars are European, except for the people from my school... maybe I really do need to get out more... O_o


Mmmm, back to on-topicness... (Ashuka says, ’aghhhh&rsquo12
Anyway, this was supposed to be more orange, just for the record. Orange, damn it!

Hmm, kittens... sadly, they all seem huffed by the uncyclopedians (and the media) and are not currently all that well desposed. If that even makes sense.
Which it probably doesn’t.

Um.

Redness. Actually, the red isn’t that bad. It’s just... it should be red *and* orange. *sigh*"

And like in Hitch-hikers Guide a vast alien space fleet invades the Earth and gets eaten by a small dog. Yes if you are going to declare war on something.... Pick on someone your own size!
A very nice calm sunset. Barring the vicious thuggery of small fairies.

:-) Kim Schoonover (Darth Maulīs scary sister) replies: "Mmm, indeed... that is where from which I sporked the idea. Or did I foon it? A mystery...

Yup. Thanks, mon."

Lovely sunset. Lots of good orangey-ness with the red on my monitor.

:-) Kim Schoonover (Darth Maulīs scary sister) replies: "Mmm, thanks. ^^"

Oh, weird. It does look orange on this monitor... *pokes it*

A very nice painting, made better by the sinister background story. Even so, the painting has a life of its own and the glowing sun really looks like it’s glowing with light, a great effect.

:-) Kim Schoonover (Darth Maulīs scary sister) replies: "Ah, thanks. White is... ah, white. And yellow... nevermind. >.>"

Ohhh, nice sunset Kim!!! it looks a very nice place for me, you and our beloved demonic kittens (plus Kiesha’s half ones) have a nice picnic enjoying the sunset. Humm, love sunsets. And maybe i can invite Lou and his demon duplicate Lian to be with us. ohh yeah, Lou seems cold but he loves me ^^ best-friend-forever kind of thing. Lian’s more funny. XD Sunday looks great to have it, don’t you think? XD

:-) Kim Schoonover (Darth Maulīs scary sister) replies: "Oh, no, no... they actually made more babies? >.< This... eh. *sighs*
Guess it was bound to happen sooner or later... and meanwhile Niathlan doesn’t even care... I guess faithfullness isn’t of much importance among the demonic.
Well, this should be interesting, with more of those crazy things running around... eh.

Sunday, eh? Arright, and the snow can fall around, and the kittens can frollic, and... mhm, and Lian and Lou... they do seem interesting fellas. Srange, how that works, isn’t it..."
