Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread IX: The 24-Hour Version (Fifth Time)

Oh, I tried a lot. I tried violin, cello, guitar, recorder, piano and organ. I wasn't very good at any of them. I finally settled on singing in the choir.

I'm still gonna' learn to play drums, someday.

But not until I can move out to the countryside. Then I can practice at any time of the day or night without annoying the neighbors.

Cleome in the country: Chapter one.

Once again the villagers heard the strange drums from the hills. They were a straightforward people, and they knew that nothing good could come from such an ominous sound.

The village elders could all remember the last time such noises were heard. The eerie thumping was heard by them as long ago as last Thursday, when the domino club met at the local community centre.

They shuddered at the recollection of what was foretold by the dull aching heartbeats of the mist enshrouded slopes. "I hate the drums. There'll be trouble if that racket keep up," said Old Ebidiah, district domino champion three years running.

That was as good as it got in the foretelling department locally. Ebidiah was second last in that district competition. It was hard to live in the shadow of Mrs Stodge from the next village, who could foretell the future from the varied shapes of her knitting experiments.

Her latest pattern had ended up as a clarinet, and she looked at the hills and dreamt dreams of jazz.

It looks like cleome's developed a new LMB power! Jeepers! She's like Chlorophyll Kid, Tyroc and Dream Girl rolled into one!

I'm fine with living in thothkins' universe so long as it's all drawn by P.Craig Russell, aka The Only Guy In The Universe Who Can Make Me Temporarily Forget How Much I Can't Stand Opera.

So what is Thothy's LMB power?

It has something to do with gardens, I believe.

And also making people lethargic

(making references to threads in the MMB, but I'm too lazy to look up the actual reference posts!)

Oh, and successfully posting from itty bitty gadgets which cause him to curse a lot.

Even for the LMB, that really doesn't sound like much in the way of powers.

No! Russell! I said "Willowy"! Everything has to be "Willowy" now! And over there! I know that it's a tractor. But couldn't you make it more enigmatic. Oh and and willowy of course.

So Thothy has the power to make things "willowy". That's actually kind of cool.

I wonder just how bored people would be in some of those poses.

Nura: So what did you do today Mysa?

Mysa: Oh, you know. Just stood at one of the windows, looking out and sighing a lot.

Nura: I must say, you've got that willowy, enigmatic look down pretty well.

Mysa: Thanks, but I'm starving. You're only allowed 500 calories on the P Craig Russell Willowy look diet. And my back's killing me from all that arching. >sigh<

Nura: You're doing the sighing again...

Mysa: Sorry.

Nura: C'mon let's get back to our Build-a-Blok jigsaw.

Oh, those wacky Nal sisters! Always willowy in a crisis!

As a "large lady" myself, I think I would have appreciated Nura even more in her post-willowy phase.

I think I agree with that sentiment, Cleome. A lifetime of reading comics filled with super-buff guys has done little to help my body image.

On the other hand...

That comment was made 24 hours and 11 minutes after my post.

Looks like I killed me another one, kids!

The Trial of Rockhopper Lad can not be far behind.

Darn. I stopped on this thread last night but couldn't think of anything willowy to post.

Congrats, Rocky!

Thanks!

I'm not sure, but at just over five months, I think this is the longest it's taken to kill one of these threads.

Whew! I thought this thread was going to live forever! Congrats Rocky! Blaze says hi too!
