| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

(Poke moi if something is wrong with it. Sorry it's short) 'Gabe Sporata' had received a letter from a 'secret admirer' that would lead the fey within the shimmering caverns. A trail of flowers and martinis ensured the actor went the right way and stayed on script. Rith was quite glad that he had investigated other options in dealing with the guild. This actor showed great promise. Even Yaksha would no doubt be fooled by the performance, despite the few changes added in by the director. The question of the matter was not of if the performance would be believable, but rather how little improvisation Rith would be dealing with. A handsome young man waited at the destination 'Gabe' was headed towards. The man was practically chiseled out of the druid's dreams, but of course the dead did not dream. A little legwork had gotten Rith the druid's soul as the former owner found no extraordinary use for it. From that point pulling out Gabe's desire's was quite simple. The actor seemed to tease every detail of his roles and seemed to follow them to the letter, another admirable trait that pleased Rith. Now it was time to see if the actor would truly share Gabe's desire or merely mirror them exquisitely. Lust disliked playing the opposite sex, but she gave no sign of his as sat patiently sniffing a fragrant rose. The cavern was illuminated with prismatic crystals that filled it with color and vibrancy. Soon the actor would take to the stage and then the fun would begin. |

God, this body was just too much fun to play. Every once in a while, he had to toss his hair or twitter his eyes like a pansy but the fun of fooling everyone around him so completly was the greatest part of this character. Who would guess that a small little nymph, a mix breed of the rather playful race at that, was playing a flamboyant priest who worshiped a tree hugging god? The answer to that was no one, at least to Herbert's knowledge, as he had finally got down the correct look for the happy priest. Herb' would defiantly use this character for some fun times in the future. However, fun was defiantly not on the list today as the priest of Meleko had received a mysterious message to meet an admirer out in the middle of the wilderness. In Gabe's mindset, Herbert though that getting to know a potential lover out in the beautiful crystal caves sounded like a delightful idea, Herbert knew that this was no simply play thing. One did not just ask to meet a man who to Herbert's knowledge, which was quite extensive in the area of Gabe's friends and lovers, out in the wilderness. However, Herbert was going along for the ride as it would certainly prove to be exciting no matter what happened in the caves. With common Gabe flair, Herbert flipped his beautiful cape that had various shades of purple and pink shifting about in it up and around his body as he got to the entrance of the cave. "Who has called me so that I might come into this cave?" |

Rith could sense doubt and fear in the one who posed as Gabe. He knew something was quite amiss, yet did well to keep this from being seen on his features. "It was I, Derríck Degâl, and you are free to to come in any time you please," Lust smiled softly as she approached. What little clothing she wore was tight against the athletic build of her masculine body and managed to be both fashionable and thoroughly alluring. "You smell as sweet as ever," Lust mused dreamily as she leaned in to sample the well duplicated floral scent. The druid had been quite fond and proud of his new found bond with his god, thought it was amusing that he still managed to find his way into the depths of hell. "I found a cute little garden not too far off, would you care to see it, Gabe?" Lust smiled warmly as she brushed aside the bangs of her lush golden hair. It was not a question Gabe could possibly say no to. "I found this there," Lusted grinned as she offered the fragrant rose to Gabe. |

Gabe had walked into a dream it seemed as this beautiful strong man who seemed to fit every description of what a charming young man should be in Gabe's mind continually flirted with him. While Gabe had always pretended that every one thought him a beautiful specimen of life, he truly was only slightly above par in the look's category and so this stunning even was something that Gabe would normally only dream about. However, this simply made Herbert more and more suspicious as he looked at the scene about him. It all felt so wrong for no reason at all, other than the oddity of someone right out of the flamboyant priest's dreams calling Gabe for some fun in the caves. "Who are you, I mean other than a handsome fellow?" Gabe said with customary flair as he took the flower from the fine man's hand. The priest of Meleko and thus an avid follower of nature quickly recognized all the various properties of the plant. He inhaled the delicate scent lightly so that it barely tickled his sense with it's exotic smell. Even the small scent of the bodacious flower was enough to assault Gabe's sense with various flavors that seemed just as perfect as the man in front of him. "This flower's scent is just as beautiful as your own looks," Gabe said with a good hearted smile but in truth, Herbert was trying to pick up a conversation to see if this beautiful man would give him some hints to the truth of this meeting. "And yes, if it is anything compared to you in beauty, that is, then I would love to see it." |

"Why thank you," Lust grinned genuinely. She always delighted in hearing compliments on her work. Doubts didn't cease, but neither did they spur action. It was only natural, even the wisest of men were wary of perfection, but that did not end their search for it. "I am not good at comparing myself with flowers, but I think it might be a sight worthy of your gaze, even if your eyes alone hold more beauty than can be found in all of this cave," Lust smiled as she lead the actor deeper into the caves. "It's a bit of a walk, but not too far. I may as well say a little about myself since I already know a bit about you. I am a wander of sorts. Nature takes care of me, and I take care of her. I visit cities occasionally, but I dislike to be removed from the beauty of nature for long. On one such visit I saw you and my heart raced with pangs of delight. Your style, your grace, everything about you was perfection. I wanted to speak to you then, yet for the first time in my life fear stilled my tongue," Lust explained happily. "What if you didn't like me? What if your heart beated for another? Either answer could break my heart asunder, so I resolved to have you meet me where nature could comfort us both. I hope you do not think any less of me for being sneaky and secretive," Lust continued apologetically. She wonder if that would be enough to stifle his doubts, but if not it didn't really matter. |

Gabe was infatuated by the beautiful man standing before him and his eyes and mouth dropped open just a fraction of an inch to show just how much the creature's looks were pulling him in. However, the steely look in Herbert's eyes showed anyone with an observant eye that he was becoming steadily less and less comfortable in the situation. The powerful mage did not believe for a second that this man only wanted to love Gabe as the pure beauty of Degal's body would certainly stop him from being nervous around Gabe who was only pretty at best. Gabe made a flourishing bow that allowed him to conceal his hands beneath his body for just a second to get a short spell off. It allowed him to reach out for his minions mind and connect with in such a way that Herbert would be able to read the creature's thoughts. Herbert, the small whisp, immediately recognized the intrusion as his master's and began to think of the only thing the mage Herbert ever wanted to know. Using it's own unique innate abilities, which allowed it to identify any illusions in the area. Herbert the whisp immediately realized that Degal was something completly out of the ordinary but sadly it's small brain could not identify it. However, this was enough for Herbert to act as this was obviously some type of trap set up to ensnare either Gabe or Herbert and neither seemed like it would be too much fun. "Who are you? I will not ask again." |

" An intermission so soon?" Lust whined in reply. Her voice was clearly feminine now, and what beauty was lost to the ears of Gabe would likely be gained by the ears of Herbert. Rith had given Lust a warning as Herbert made to cast a spell. She slipped in a spell of her own why his attention was diverted. She always liked to see one's vices and deepest desires. Beauty was a matter of perception, so long as she could be what one wanted to see she could always be beautiful. "Business before pleasure, not something common for fey," Lust mused before she turned. As she turned around to face Herbert her features and clothing became distinctly feminine, but no certainly no less beautiful. "I could demand the same of you, but you would tell me Derethal, and we both know that answer is only slightly more correct than Gabe. Why don't I just call you Derethal and you call me Perfection, or Degâl if you prefer?" Lust winked before continuing. "No reason for alarm or aggression. This meeting will remain as peaceful as you allow. After all I'm here offer a new role," Lust smiled. So long her words kept Derethal's attention and kept him from attack, they have accomplished their goals. |

Herbert was annoyed by this time as someone or something had obviously taken it's time to do a little research on Herbert. While the creature before him had alluded to knowing that Derethal his true name, Herbert doubted or more over hoped that this obviously resourceful creature had not found out the name that the great mage was born with. While Herbert already planned on killing this being known as Perfection, the knowledge of the name Herbert would only put icing on the cake. "It seems you know a lot about me," Herbert said masking his annoyance and anger behind a cool facade. If it was one thing that Herbert had learned over the years it was never to let the enemy know you were flustered or on the verge of striking. "I really do not like when people know so much about me and it seems you have a great deal of information about me such as my various roles I play but if you actually do have an offer for me, I guess my curiosity must oblige me to listen." |

"Don't worry about it. Keep wowing the audience and you will find yourself knowing much more of me," Lust winked as she flicked her hair with her hand. It was easy to guess what was running through his mind, though his face would suggest much more innocent thoughts. "Jaka Salim, Interim leader of a large organization of undead and Pariahs, has died. No one was close enough to know him well. No Family, no friends. I hold the keys to the fallen angel's knowledge. I offer you the chance to fool an entire guild," Lust explained as seemingly produced a black gem from nowhere. It danced along her fingertips, touch with only a corner as it made dizzy circles. "And of course If I've kept your interest, I'm sure you're smart enough to know there is a catch involved. But they are so simple. I only need you to play with more often and of course for certain goals to be accomplished in the guild. So very simple. It's not too much to ask, is it?" Lust smiled devilishly. Should she fail in a successful appeal to his interest she would likely be attacked. That would likely add the mage's life to the benifits of taking the deal, but of course if he could calmly deny her, then she would have to delve deeper into what he wanted and prove she could offer it. |

Herbert was immediately intrigued but he did his best to keep his emotions underneath Gabe's placid face. If the creature before him was observant, which she had already proven multiple times, she would undoubtedly have picked up the look in Gabe's eyes that showed how delighted Herbert was to hear of this new character. Gabe's eyes drifted to look down onto the black gem that seemed incredibly magical and Herbert understood that it was a soul gem which must have contained Jaka's soul. "While I am ready to take on this task, there are some major holes in this character's script," Herbert said with a bit of anger seeing as if this creature had just told him of this earlier, Herbert would have been able to stalk out this Jaka character like he normally did so that Herbert on could find out how Jaka moved, talked, and other things that one's soul would not even show. "I will do what I can but I can not guarantee success on scouting and succeeding these missions. I will act as Jaka would act so if it goes against his character, I will not be able to complete some tasks," Herbert said with a glare, as he pulled off his wig and used it too whip of his makeup. Before anyone would be able to see his face, his orange and black mask covered his face again. Gabe's wig was already back in his bag of never ending space by the time Herbert looked back up at the creature before him. |

Lust was not one to miss even the slightest spark of intrgue. She could have very well read it out of his eyes if she weren't feeding off his desires. Her grin seemed to grow wider as he did his best to conceal his thoughts, yet it did not last long. She frowned when he spoke of flaws and explained complications. Herbert had been monitored, yet these details went unfound. She was more so annoyed to see him removing his costume. She ahd hoped to play a bit after buisness had been settled. "Most of the holes have or can be remedied, though Jaka is a man of many flaws. Obtaining perfection is not exactly possible with him," Lust explained. It was fortunate that 'Jaka' could be moddified as needed later to minimize major holes, but the real Jaka was riddled with too many flaws to cover them all. Hopefully any complicating flaws could be dealt with before they caused damage to well laid plans. "How much control do you have? Gabe most certainly would still enoying Derríck's attentions, so it's clear you have some degree on control which might be used to accomplish specific goals," Lust mused. Given his words she expected some bothersome explaination of how control was minimal. It was likely akin to letting the roles possess his body. Dire sitiations and time, might be the only chances for him to regain control. A pitiable set-back if that was the case, but not too large of one as there were means of circumnavigating it. |

"Ah, but you are not Derrick are you? I only play my roles to their full capacity when those about me are playing their parts as well and you my lady, are not playing your role one bit," Herbert said with a smile, finally regaining some true composure after the various surprises that this crystal cave had brought him. While he was still incredibly tempted to destroy the creature in front of him at that very moment, Herbert kept his powerful magics in check for the time being as he was simply too intrigued by this new act to take the chance of ruining the role. "So I have given my acceptance to this new character but you need to fulfill your part by giving me the necessary knowledge," Herbert said, looking expectantly. While he had an intricate knowledge of many genres and schools of magic, Herbert was unsure of any concrete way of transferring the entire knowledge of a dead person to that of a living person. "Please do explain the process in full as even my knowledge is befuddled in such an area of information exchange." (OOC: This should be the reason why Herbert doesn't practice necromancy. |

(How bout this reason instead?) "On the contrary. I stopped when you did. Gabe would have no need to ask again who Derríck was certainly not in that tone," Lust grinned as she waved the finger of her free hand. "But that doesn't matter now. As for the process, It's remarkably simple. You need only touch the gem. Might be a bit painful and disoreintating, but it's a quick trasfer," Lust said as she withdrew her hand. The gem continue to spin in the air, but steadily slowed to a stop and merely hovered in place. Naturally any quick transfer of such a vast quantity of knowledge was bound to be pain. It covered all the areas Herbert desired, which was to say nearly everthing one could know about Jaka Salim. "Unfortunately, his magical and necrotic powers were lost before he died, so the gem has no means of bestowing those upon you," Lust explained. He would seem a bit odd without said powers, but perhaps he would still be able to pull it off. |

"Ah, a lack of magical powers. Well, I figured as much as if you could transfer such knowledge, then you were obviously the most powerful creature I would have ever met. As for not having the powers, I am a master of lies so I will create some reason or another to explain Jaka's mysterious lack of power," Herbert said, trying to stall so that he could pull together the perfect concentrated state so that he would not shout out in pain when he grabbed the shard of knowledge. One thing that Herbert truly hated was being embarrassed and thus, he hid his name behind millions of false identities. Slowly and steadily moving his hand out, Herbert clasped the gem in one single fluid movements so that all of his finger's rapped around it at once. Immediately, his brain was flushed with knowledge as literally everything about Jaka and everything he had ever known tried to cram into Herbert's brain. The first wave of knowledge made the mage cringe but he was able to gain some control over the flood gates that had been opened. Slowly, he filtered through everything that had been added to his brain in a sudden rush in such away that he could eliminate the majority of the useless junk that would not hope Herbert act out Jaka's life. "Heh, pretty powerful stuff," Herbert said, allowing his muscles to slouch after the waves and waves of knowledge died away. |

Lust watched as the gem seemed to crumble into nothingness. Worked without a hitch, as was expected. "Not surprising given the effort that went into making it," Lust grinned. She of course hadn't made it herself, but she of course had been there during it's creation and could vouch for the amount of effort Rith put into the gem. Amusing how much went into something that vanished in one use, yet it didn't turlly vanish. It would stick around as long as Herbert did and that would allow for periodic changes to the data as needed. How long it would take to have any such changes made depended on the nature of the change, but they could be accomplished rather quickly. "When you get in the guild I will need it to be rilled up into action. Have the guild have it's presence known to the world a bit, so to speak. Jaka will recieve instructions on how to do so, if the changes to his mind weren't enough for him to imagine his own plots," Lust mused. "Where things get tricky is if and when Draco makes his return. Keeping an influnece on him is important. You will need to do your best to keep on his good side. Should this occur I will try to ensure that appropriate changes are made to Jaka's mind. Do your best to stall if Jaka is about to do anything too extreme," Lust explained "As for our next metting time, I'll schedule another meeting with one of your roles after Draco returns. Hopefully we can have a little fun before the meeting if not after," Lust grined before delivering a playful wink. |
