A final gift for RTE - Shadow Training

[Ithillian Turambar]

All too soon they grow and fly the nest and RTE will be next. I would be very remiss if I sent in off into the wide world without at least a little bit of Shadow Training - and also I would like to see if he is truly Shadowy enough to finally be released.

 

RTE come here.

Reporting in for duty my Mistress!

[Ithillian Turambar]

Always on time. I like that. Your time for Shadow Training has come. Like so many before you, your first Task is to locate a member of the Light Faction and prove how well you can now perform attack weaves. You can try and be stealthy, but they know you are coming. We don't make things easy for Shadows.

 

Don't use official or pinned threads/discussions or anywhere else that just feels wrong. You know what I mean. And make it funny - and take pictures!!

 

Then bring the evidence back here. If I judge it sufficient I will allow you to move onto the next Task.

I don't like sitting in the sun. The Shade is much to be preferred.

[ReleaseTheEvil]

I did not forget this Mistress. I will commence soon!

[Ithillian Turambar]

Make sure that you do.

 

[Ithillian Turambar]

Nice Comb-over btw

[ReleaseTheEvil]

That is the hairstyle-who-must-not-be-named.

[Ithillian Turambar]

But you look fabulous!

 

Monks of Cool, remember?

 

The Monks of Cool, whose tiny and exclusive monastery is hidden in a really cool and laid-back valley in the lower Ramtops, have a passing-out test for a novice.

 

He is taken into a room full of all types of clothing and asked: Yo¹, my son, which of these is the most stylish thing to wear? And the correct answer is: Hey, whatever I select.

 

¹ Cool, but not necessarily up to date.

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Ugh, despite my hairstyle I will commence my task. Muahahahahahah.

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Now if I could FIND Lighties...

They are teh suxxorz at spam.

[Ithillian Turambar]

No-one said this would be easy

[ReleaseTheEvil]

I think I've made you proud.

[Ithillian Turambar]

Very proud indeed

 

I particularly like the way you have used this opportunity to show others the error of their ways lol.

 

And now finally we can move on.

 

The next part of the training for a true member of the Shadow is to teach them how not to be squeemish. You have done a basic attack - or perhaps we should call it a makeover lol. Now you may choose either a member of the Light OR a member of the Shadow and inflict the most horrible torture you can think of to bend them to your will.

 

All in good humour of course

 

Make it so!

[Panchi]

Poor Shadowies have no love for their faction

[ReleaseTheEvil]

I have a certain mullet-wearing muppet in mind...

[Panchi]

*gives them cookies to chew on*

[Ithillian Turambar]

I'm very selective with my love.

 

And the Shadows are an equal opportunities Faction. We are evil to everyone lol

 

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Bah, Tsuki is too busy for me to harass him. Now to find another...

[Ithillian Turambar]

I'm still waiting. You are terrible lol

[ReleaseTheEvil]

It's not my fault! I will do it tonight. Got a couple of Mafia games to catch up on as well too.

[Ithillian Turambar]

Well who's fault is it? I don't see anyone else here.

 

Do you mean to end your apprenticeship in a blaze of glory or whimper quietly into the masses of the forgotten?

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Blaze. Of. Glory.

 

And I blame real life.

[Ithillian Turambar]

I don't believe that exists

[Ithillian Turambar]
