Dream20081019 - Footsharp Manor - part 6
------------

I was somewhere else.  Where was I?  How did I escape from the terrible beast man?

But it became all at once as though I were watching a movie.

I could see the boy.

How could this happen?

A footsharp....  Why....?  Why the boy?  Why the black-haired boy?  It wasn't fair.  None of it was fair.  No one deserved to die, none of the servants, least of all him....  He was so kind....  They were all so kind....  Not him, not him, please not him....  He couldn't die.

It wasn't fair.

It wasn't fair.

Please, not the boy....

I didn't even know his name.

------------

It was quiet.  It was a very homely room, really.  Everything w
Dream20081019 - Footsharp Manor - part 5
I believe I was with the servants.... We must have been in one of the kitchens, talking and laughing and having a good time I think, sitting on chairs or stools, or standing against the counters.... when something bad happened.  There was a man.  He wore a pale blue button-up shirt, and grey-beige trousers.  His feet were bare.  I don't know where he came from, but he was horrible.  Like an animal.  He came from nowhere, and attacked us tooth and nail.

I don't know what he was; he didn't seem like a normal human.  He was crazed, like something with rabies, lashing and gnashing and scratching and biting and swiping like he wanted to kill us a

How could this happen?  How could this Emperor have put on this banquet, here, and now?

Why was it like this?

I don't remember....

I don't remember....

How did this torture end?

How did I calm down....?

I don't remember where he came from; I don't remember when he came in, when he found me....  Or did I find him?  One of us found the other.

But was it because of him?  It must have been.  He must have been the one who set me at ease.  He must have allayed my fears.

There was a young servant.  One of many, really, but he was the only one I remember seeing dressed like that.  He wore very simple white clothing of some soft, modest linen.
Dream20081019 - Footsharp Manor - part 3
As the small crowd of servants and soldiers stood by, The Emperor explained to the few upper guests assembled in the antechamber—the few who would handle it calmly and rationally—about the footsharps.

Footsharps....  It was a strange word, a functional mock-up, translated over from whatever Eastern dialect the Emperor and his household spoke.  For there was no other name to use for them in English.

The Emperor acknowledged that it must have seemed very strange for the soldiers to come in striking their weapons at the air, chasing phantom sparks along the floor.  He explained that the sparks had been more than they appeared.  The s
Tale of the WereTroll"So!  How does everyone like my new recipe?" piped Fishlegs.

Occupying the farthest table in the Great Hall, the young Vikings thoughtfully sampled slices of the freshly baked loaf of bread.

"It's not... bad..." said Astrid.

"It's not really good either," added Ruffnut.

"Fishlegs," Snotlout frowned, "You have got to be the worst bread-making Viking I've ever heard of."

Hiccup only winced and looked away, while Tuffnut ignored the matter entirely, closely examining the blob of wax he had just picked from his ear.

"Oh... well..." Fishlegs deflated slightly, "I'm still perfecting it...  I'll get it right.  Jus
Dream20081019 - Footsharp Manor - part 2
There was a snapping, zapping sound.  I was near the corner, near the door by stage-right.  I looked up.  A small burst of bright blue and purple sparks erupted near the middle of the floor.  A blazing, lightning-barbed ring of electricity, the diameter of a grapefruit, down on the tatami.  It vanished, then erupted again a fraction of a heartbeat later, several feet closer to the performers and the Emperor.

A dozen men barreled through the four corner doors and into the room.  They were clad in thick, grey garb, with plates of armor on their shoulders and chests and backs.  They wore greaves and gauntlets of the same make, and strange headg

Grab your Dad's old tunic and a couple of black socks for your helmet-horns! Sneaking up at number four on Contraltissimo's DeviantArt How To Train Your Dragon DVD Countdown List of Tomfoolery.... It's time to do

Cosplay!



Ah, what a wonderful thing is make-believe. The notion of being someone else for a day is certainly an enthralling one. In hiding your true face you find you walk differently; you talk differently; you become more bold as you begin to channel the very soul of your wicked-awesome get-up. Fear drops away and you can do whatever you want. Because you're not yourself. You're someone else. The real you is safe hiding behind the costume. Hee hee. :giggle:

Here's to all you crafty, masquerading, con-going types! May the Nerd-Herd ever swamp you for photo-ops! :D


And the DVD comes out in

4...



Start the countdown over!
or
Don't start the countdown over!



Yay fail background is fail! :w00t:
And some mood music. Because original recordings are still the best!
