OOG: On a happier note: introduce yourself.

Your name is Candra Lueure.

Your interests lie in the realm of the MYSTICAL and the CELESTIAL. You pride yourself on your expertise in the use of HEALING STONES AND CRYSTALS, a noble and delicate art with the potential to soothe both BODY and MIND. You consider yourself PARTICULARLY ATTUNED to the CAPRICIOUS ENERGIES of the deep ground, but, as you maintain on your BLOG, you believe that anyone is capable of achieving with EFFORT what others may come by through GRACE.

You are also a minor THEOLOGIAN, with a particular interest in the FABLED GODS OF ALTERNIAN LORE. While only one or two of the ELDRITCH BEASTS OF THE DEEP are even spoken of in modern times, you have come across underground circles almost CULTLIKE IN THEIR MYSTERY claiming that many of these tentacled deities, perhaps as many as FORTY-EIGHT, lurk at the edges of your universe. You aren’t entirely sure what you believe, but it’s all nice to think about.

You also have a minor interest in SUPERNATURAL ROMANCE, you suppose, but really, it’s so minor that it’s hardly even worth mentioning. You are certain the right troll will come along someday. Your trolltag is quixoticDiviner and y)o(u try t)o( speak sl)o(wly and carefully t)o( make each )o(f y)o(ur w)o(rds meaningful and inspirati)o(nal! Though you do not always succeed in the latter venture.

What will you do?

– UGH! As to be expected. He’s filched your GUIDE TO TENTACLED WONDERS OF THE BEYOND. It’s not your very favorite – you do not much care for the works of Aluminum Cawfangbeast, you have found – but you are still quite irritated to have your belongings disappear from right in front of you!

Oh, well. You suppose you won’t dwell on it.

Oh dear. The boy is fiddling with his PARADOXYCHIC ABILITIES, as per usual. Ugh, nothing good comes of –

You are permitted by Her Horrific Puissance to set your invisible sensor within a one mile radius. In a happy coincidence, your GRUBHOOD COMRADE-IN-ARMS lives just next door!

You wish, in retrospect, that you had used your WAND. These magical shenanigans can be rather hard to steer!

OOG: See what he’s up to.

Your WISDOM just checks out at 13 UNITS OF APTITUDE. Hooray!

OOG: Do something elegant.

You call upon your patron goddess Yhaag’ni (Lo, Behold The Magdelene of The North) and invoke Her Horrific Puissance.

You attempt to cast CLAIRVOYANCE (Lv. 3).

Oh! Well! You suppose you can be the other other girl. 

OOG: Do something elegant.

Absolutely not!!! You are far too exasperated to deal with any more shenanigans right now.

Nike Major.

Oh, the fables regarding this astronomic miracle are simply delightful. Fleetfooted warriors running towards victory, noble and shimmering with sandals of gold. In an entire sweep, only two days fall under the eye of this blessèd zodiac.

You will make it your side mission to help your friend see her legendary destiny through to its end. Not that you have any idea what that destiny might be! Vague, prophetic notions are your favorites, though, so you will leave it as such.

Well, you suppose it is about time that you contacted your server player! Ah, a charmingly feisty one, that girl is. She hatched under a particularly intriguing red star sign, if you recall...

Your moirail is really something else. You cannot fathom what he is thinking most of the time...which makes it very, very hard to do any sort of moirailing at all! But oh, the times you have shared. Virtually speaking, of course.

You have all sorts of things in common, as well! For example, you both dislike grubsauce. You both are not very loud. You both do not have any awesome psychic powers, unfortunately. And you both have incredibly amazing HI55555BEA5T LUSII, which are, simply put, the best guardians available to trollkind.

Ah! It seems that your MOIRAIL is contacting you. It’s a bit early for his shenanigans, but you are always happy to hear from him!
