View Full Version : 'S mise Karuka Tida
Well, hello.
I'm one of those new people from the Tournament of Legends over on GUA.
Dirks, Vorin, and Cyrus all spent time trying to pull me over (Vorin/Lucien/whatever he goes by here the most persistently), and so here I am, because I'm bored and have time on my hands.
And because I don't like reading Faulkner's necrophiliac work *shudders*.
Anyway, I'm Karuka here, please don't Japanese-ify it, it isn't Kakura.
Umm...about me...
Weeeeeeell.
I've been role playing as long as I can remember, but I didn't get into formal RP until 5.5 years ago, and this Feb I will have been RPing online for 5 years. I started in Yahoo chat rooms, then went to a couple of more private forums until I hit nationstates, and I've been on the forums there for a couple of years now. I play mostly Drow characters (with a few half-Drow in there), so my character here is a practice in being human again.
I rather dislike combat (but I am capable of laying some smackdown...just not with this chara yet), and love character interactions.
And that's me in a nutshell, so now that we're friends, let's all have caffiene and pizza!

Bout time...
Btw, I moved your thread to the introduction forum!
I generally like character interactions as well! How about we interact over caffiene and pizza! on another note, welcome to Althanas. We're a lot different from GUA, but I'm glad you've come over here.
We had a "Japanese" character earlier on this forum who was named Haruka, so I suppose your name is Japanish enough without people misspellng it.
She's not Japanese, though, lol.
And interactions over caffiene and pizza sound good to me, yep.

Hahah!
Welcome to Althanas, please keep your arms and legs inside the forum at all times or they may be removed by rabid, zombified characters. Do not feed the following people: Cyrus the Virus, Max Dirks, Santhalas, Atzar Kellon, Dissinger, Letho, Storm Veritas, and Slayer of the Rot for they may become dependent on you afterwards and are hard to get rid of. Any screams you may now be experiencing are the sounds of dying characters, do not be alarmed, for they shall be revived in new and inventive ways the following thread. Have a nice day. ^^
*hands you a plate of cookies, which is good! But some of them are poisonous, which is bad*
I've had the pleasure of fighting Max Dirks with a more advanced *coughoriginalmorepowerfulcough* version of the character I registered here with.
Other than that...I've seen most of the names, and Cyrus seems like a pretty nice guy. He speaks Drow. ^_^
*Looks at cookies* Yay! *Bites into one* Thish tathes kin'a funny...oooh...

Out of curiosity, why were they so eager to drag you over here tooth and nail? Have you been here before?
Witchblade
01-15-07, 06:05 PM
Bwhahahaha!
New people fall for it all the time, now I own you! You are my slave!
I willna be a slave fer one cookie.
An' dinna anyone ever tell ye tha' tis a bad notion t' pick up random slaves off the forum walls?
Especially when ye havenae seen wha' they do?
'S mise Karuka Tida. An' I willna be a slave, lass.
*Presses rune Beorc to own forehead to clear out toxins*
Out of curiosity, why were they so eager to drag you over here tooth and nail? Have you been here before?
Nope, first time being at Althanas.
Like I said, I'm participating in ToL. And I guess I struck them as "not craptastic."
And I can spell. Spelling helps.
Witchblade
01-15-07, 06:13 PM
lol, spelling definitely helps. We like people who can spell and be grammatically correct here.
*is disappointed you won't be her slave*
Oh well, I've got plenty.
Well, Lucien did tell me that it is a male-dominated group of lackeys...so I wouldn't fit in.
And while I will not consider being a slave, I'm looking forward to making all the friends I can.
Wait, can I get my freedom witchy?
Oh, and Welcome. Glad I finally convinced you, what with all the stalking.
And GEEZ it was a lot of stalking.
Witchblade
01-15-07, 06:30 PM
Hmm... let me think about that one, Cory...no.
'Twould seem tha' tis useless t' argue against bein' a slave withou' a nifty accent t' back up yer claims.
^_^
I have no idea what you're saying because I don't speak Japanese.
Je ne parle pas le japonais.
Je parle le francais.
And this chara gives me a GREAT excuse to start learning my Gaelic.
Witchblade
01-15-07, 07:45 PM
It's not Japanese, Cory, it's a Scottish and or Irish accent. I would know since I aboslutely love them.
'Tis an Irish accent, t' th' best o' my ability. Tho...'tis hard t' differentiate online. When doin' a Scottish accent, I do try t' make i' a bit rougher an' drop a few more letters, but sometimes i' dinna happen.

Gyah...I hated my last French teacher, so I forgot a lot. I mostly use the language to confuse people, and yell at people, and I speak it better than write it.
Still...c'est une grande plaisir, et je voudrais bien d'ecrire avec vous.
Yeah...I'm too lazy to check spelling or put in accents. Lol.
Allow me to extend my welcome in Japanese and a simple good-luck charm.

Wear this. It's for good luck. You'll need it with all the crazies around here :3

I never drag people to Althanas from other sites :p What the hell? I think I just sat here and you would message me with questions and junk. Freaking liars, man.
Les autres gens habitent en Québec aussi?
Yeah, but you had a 10-15 minute conversation with me in Drow.
Which rates very cool. And you answered questions more comprehensibly than Vorin did while he was insanely stalking me.
:p
*Sees hamnat's amulet*
Oooooh, shiny!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaait...I've already been given an enslavement cookie...and one should always be wary of amulets from strangers!
Oh well.
*Takes amulet but doesn't put it on*

So are you a chick or what? Single? Let's chat ;)

That's what I meant by crazies! Hehe....yes, I AM calling myself crazy. Don't worry, I never lie about a spell...I just don't always let you know it's coming....
Also, if y'all were really talking in Drow....does that make you a linguist? Kushima sakurista elre genat Damoinc?

Welcome, ToL participant! You'll find plenty of things to do here that will not even be remotely close to combat. I'll make sure of that. ;)

Should I be afraid now?

Afraid of what, Nya~? There's nothing to be afraid of...
...Well, maybe the Wrath of the Evil Double-Posting Lord of Doom(!) but other than that... No, I don't think so.
*Ominous chuckle*
Oh, don't mind me. Just your residential Catboy looking after the members. ;)
Welcome, hope you enjoy your stay here. This is probably the most popular introductory thread I've ever seen...
And it's attracted such a cool variety of people!
I honestly can't wait to start role playing here.
*hugs Raven...again* that's my plushy! And yes, be very afraid!!!!Aaaahahahaha!!!! Just kidding....everyone's so friendly here, even rape victims have smiles on their faces....regardless of any exchanged fluids...a quote from someone I can't remember, but a pretty much true quote.
At any rate, kimenusca erla suntai. Enjoy your stay!

01-16-07, 09:50 AM
Ah, sorry then for making that long-ass welcome in french! XD Still, I want my hasch. You've already missed the deadline.
And Cy, you should know. Though now I wonder where in Quebec you live! *intrigue*
Oh, no, I understood just fine, lol.
Just...trying to think in the language is difficult when the teacher didn't really go over speaking the language so much as "la balleen s'est leve" and all that crap.
And then made us write our own ending to the story we'd heard so many times that she'd made up and was CRAPTASTIC and...ugh.
I wound up making it a Shakesperean tragedy, i.e., everybody dies. Stupid whale and dinosaur and furby...
Don't ask...
Cunesca Kirby sun doala sun sirec anistasca? Oops...trena...I wasn't supposed to ask...
*Sits, fidgeting, waiting for INDK to come and either approve or suggest more modifications*
Soooo...hamnat...how long do you think it'll take Acheron to kick some Elf butt and lead the Da'kor into a new era of magic and prosperity?
hhmm? Wait, you read....Squee!!!! Awesomeness!!!! A fellow Loch-lover!!!
Honestly, I'd say a few more hours(Inverloch time).
Now if only Sarah'd get a move on...*sigh*
I think Varden should have kept the black hair. Platinum blond...ugh. He was much sexier and mysterious with the dark hair.
(Although the panel RIGHT before the big reveal was hilarious.)
*giggle* I agree...black hair goes way better for him. Feel free to read the other webcomics I reviewed. And as for Sarah...well, it's been a long haul and she's tired now. Besides, art that good is worth waiting for:).
Well, I've been reading EGS for...h'mm...over a year now. Haven't touched the Noob, but I've got a good many webcomics in my favorites.
Do you read Dominic Deegan? Or Spiky Haired Dragon, Worthless Knight?
Those are awesome comics.
Mmmm..none of them...but I'm doing a review right now for The Dreamland Chronicles. I'll put a link to it in my siggy when I'm done.
Dreamland Chronicles...think I've heard of it, but never read it.
Well, go ahead and go there. I've got the link to the review in my sig now, so enjoy!(^_^)
Ataraxis
01-16-07, 12:19 PM
Inverloch and DC are nice stories, though I hear Inv will soon be over. The Noob is hilarious. XD
But my all time favorite is 'The Order of the Stick'. Nothing beats that!
Whoso pulleth out this sword from this anvil shall be rightful king of all Dreamland...

Sorry, the ref was just too obvious, lol.
I've had people try to get me into OotS, but haven't really looked at it.

Oh, you should. Plenty of references and his take on common interactions in a D&D world is just pure gold!
"You have selected 'Tumor'.To choose the type of tumor with which to smite Thor's enemies, chant three now.
Three! Crap!
You have selected, 'Colon Tumor'."
OOTS for the Win!!! I'll do that one next for my list of reviews..."I think I just had an evilgasm..."
'tis verily an interestin' yarn, this Dreamland Chronicles.
And very beautifully realized. Love the lighting, although the night scenes seem quite bright.
Welcome to Althanas, Karuka. You took one of my Scara Brae quests, so you must be cool.
Cute avy-tar, by the way.
Well, her hair's more red, her eyes are more blue, and her skin is more brown...but yeah, she's adorable.
Dissinger
01-20-07, 02:34 PM
Its just Kairi, but thats okay cause Kairi was cool.
Welcome to Althanas glad to see you made it over form the mad house that has become the ToL forums. Guess we'll have to wait and see if things stick over there.
Artifex Felicis
01-20-07, 02:48 PM
I don't think I've actually said anything. ANyways, welcome to the forums, enjoy it as much as you can, as it rocks. And I think it's the Kairi from KH1 too.
*Read's Artifex Felicis' member title and snuggles*
^_^
Hallo.
Anyway, at this point in time I'm quite enjoying Althanas. It's a very impressive system on its own, and it's a nice homey place with friendly people in it.
I'm glad I promised Lucien that I'd come here. If I still like it by June, you'll have as much of a lifetime member as possible. ;-)

Oh, homey.
Aye, homey.
Meanin' th' kind of place you could come to and joke around with the portly old man serving apple pie and hot cocoa, and spin a yarn and hear a bunch to and from the gang sitting around the fire.
So there. :p

Rathe rplay with the yarn but eh.
Yeah, you'll find it's pretty hard to really make any true long running hates unless you activly go out of your way to do so with soemone. While this is great ICly, don't let it slip into OOC. Anyways, keep writing, what I've read is pretty fun.
Ack! Ghetto-speak!!:P
Just kidding. But ya'llz iz crazy!

No worries. I'm one of those people that gets edgy when all her threads are not moving along quickly enough for her tastes.
Gets even worse when I'm on caffeine. *Glances at Mt. Dew can at her wrist*
AdventWings
01-21-07, 09:35 PM
One word, Karuka: Sprite. :D
Gets you high on sugar and sodium without the side-effects of insomnia and hypertension. ;)
Uh-uh. I need me my caffeine!
Lol. I have some ginger ale in my fridge, though.
Artifex Felicis
01-21-07, 09:49 PM
That's a bad thing. Try to go cold turkey. If you're sick enought o miss school/work then you should wean yourself. Other than that, get hooked on sprite and snapple. And Pepsi, cause that rocks despite caffine.
Wait? What?
Who said anything about being sick enough to miss work or school?
I'm going to class tomorrow (I only have one class during January due to this school's setup), and I don't have a job.
I mean...the only thing I can think of now that might take me out for a bit is that I'm getting a pint of blood drawn after class tomorrow, but it wasn't a big deal last time.
EDIT:
And Pepsi is Ick. If I'm not drinking Mt. Dew, water, or tea, it's coke for this girl. (with the occasional ginger ale. Sprite rarely.)
Artifex Felicis
01-21-07, 10:08 PM
Caffine is actually an addictive substance. Though it's not exactly one, more like a crutch or something. My old teacher once had essentially two or three large espressos a day for over two years, and then decided to go cold turkey. He actually aranged for the substatute teacher to come in since his body got thrown so out of wake without constant caffine in his blood. Only for a day or two though. Granted, it was more extreme, but hopefully you get what I'm trying to say.
It was a bad joke and poorly executed on my part. You get used to them after a while. :P
Also, Death to the Cocoa-Cola Empire!
All Colas, Pepsi or coke are bad for the digestion system but great for removing rust, I think coke's best for the rust but I'm not sure but a damn tasty way to get rid of rust^^
I prefer rootbeer, it's probably the most natural of the drinks though there's no Caffeine in rootbeer. though it's not really good for you either, one must be allowed some vices.
I know caffeine is addictive.
I also know soda is bad for me.
But I agree with Nova. I'm entitled to a vice or two.
(Mt. Dew is a Pepsi product, btw. So I support both corporate soda syndicates about evenly).
Wow, I'm not quite sure what just happened... but I seriously read this entire 8 page thread. I'm sure something (alcohol) is setting in... lol.
WELCOME!
I love your character.
