I had a dream with Charby in it

[Rehiro]

Shippo: That is considered serious abuse!

Lysinias: Allright then, I shall tell you the tale of the Nerd Halls fall and the rise of the Emerald Pillar.

The Magic Game Hall, is a barbaric society filled with spitefull nerds. They all believe that they are the most engenious and the best in the group, but they also have one of the most complex hierarchy systems in the entire school. Though nobody would admit it, I noticed that they all fell into one rank or another and that one person supported the entire group. The king nerd.

They do not enjoy being in each others company. They stay together because of an obsession to prove themselves better than the rest.

I should point out that these people are not your classic nerds. They dont always have to wear glasses and braces and they dont even have to be good at school. Because in their oppinion, they are smarter than the school.

They call it the Magic Game Hall, because its trademark thing there is Magic cards.

They go to great lengths to convert anyone they deem to be an intellectual threat. They tried to convert me, but I rejected them.

They never, ever try to convert females however. I do not believe that for the most part, they see them as equals. They have all convinced themselves that they deserve to have girls constantly following them around and lusting them however.

I converted the weakest member of the Nerd Hall. His roll was to take abuse and act as a means of boosting other peoples statis. They were fools to treat him as such, when he was such a necessary contributer. This member played a large roll in the system because he wasnt just an average member. He was more influential than they would admit and when he left, the Nerd Halls environment took a major hit.

But more importantly, I noticed that the Lord Nerd himself resented the position that he had been put into. But he had no idea how to escape.

I wont lie. This guy was the one who sought me out, not the other way around. I tought him about the psychological aspect of the school, the silent rule of land ownership, social categories, groups etc. I tought him how to convert himself to another group and he left. He made the wise decision of choosing a group which the other nerds would not be able to follow him into.

Now he is no more than a lacky in a group I have an affiliation with. The other nerds, just as I had predicted, couldnt live without him and the society crumbled. They never could admit that he was the one who held the spot.

The groups second, was able to hold on to two members, but that is all there is left now. They hold desperately to the remnants of what was once a flourishing, if disgusting society.

It occurs to me, that I could always move my five men there and just sit around them. Interact with them but not try to change there ways. They would be easy converts, but I realize that I do not wish to become leader of such people. More of their kind would return and though I would have more power, I would be trapped within a society of horrible people, in a spot that cannot make progress. It would be the final step in conquest, but... no. I would most likely lose all of my current affiliations with other groups as well if I made such a step.

I once thought of their land as prime land. Seperated from all others and disturbed by no one. They were the undesputed rulers there. But now I realize that in a society that cannot interact with others, their can be no progress. The people of my spot argue that our land is prime land, but im not so sure. Part of the reason I originally took it was because I knew no one would try to take it. Especially if they knew I would fight so hard for it.

"Choose land that no one would want, and fight for it like a cornered animal" is a quote I once made.

Anyway, now you can see why I said some of the things that I said when I first introduced myself on this forum. It was because of some of my old affiliations. We are not a society of spitefull, barbaric nerds like them.

[Rehiro]

I should clarify that this was the start of the social aspect of the pillar. Hence the name "Nerd Halls fall and the rise of the Emerald Pillar". The nerd I converted was the first to be converted and gave people a way of interacting with me through him. All the people in the spot as of now stems from his influence, if indirectly. I promoted him to be the Spots Second.

The group that the King Nerd converted to was a very powerfull spot and his presence allowed me to gain a potential influence there.

All my success stems from the destruction of the nerd hall.

[lysinias]

Wow. That's amazing! I was impressed to hear that you had studied the social structure so effectivley to begin with, but the way you put it into action, and the careful considerations toward your actions are vastly impressive. This puts you very high in my esteem, I don't know how much that matters to you, but this shows great intelligence in my opinion, and good character. And that was one superb story. Blergh, I hated nerds like that. They gave me a bad taste in my mouth.

[silverwolf]

Well, as a girl, I can't really be unbiased. I have met people like that, guys who think that girls aren't anymore than pets that follow them around and give them undying attention and loyalty. I've noticed three things about ssuch people;

1. Girls tend to hate them
2. They tend to snub girls
3. I tend to outsmart them.

I know that's not the point of your story, but the part that stood out the most to me was:

They never, ever try to convert females however. I do not believe that for the most part, they see them as equals. They have all convinced themselves that they deserve to have girls constantly following them around and lusting them however.

And Shippo, Who is this boy? where is he? *cracks knuckles* Take me to him.

[Rehiro]

Lysinias: Thank you ;D! You have no idea how much that compliments me! Everything you said makes me feel incredibly vain. And I hated those nerds as well.

Silver: Yeah, I was actually kind of trying to emphasize that since I thought it might get a reaction on this forum. I dont think they would outwardly reject you for being female if you tried to join their group. They would more likely gang up on you and make you seem illogical and stupid even if you were outsmarting them. They dont outwardly say "women are sexual tools for us to use" but you can tell that its implied. They actually had two females among their society. They werent intellectual competition though, they fitted into the roll that the nerds wanted them to be in. One converted before I could do anything and the other evacuated when I destroyed them.

Shippo: I dont usually approve of hitting someone simply because they cant hit you back (girl, hitting boy because she knows that he cant hit her back because of her gender) but in this case, I think a broken nose and a broken camera, might be overlooked.

[lysinias]

Rehiro: You are quite welcome, I am glad you appreciate my heartfelt compliments. ;D

about those nerds, I learned the hard way you can't win. You prove your point, but they rebound logic.

A perfect example: There was this thickheaded buffoon back at my school whom my best friend would get into rather extensive arguments about Judaism with. The buffoon felt that she was inferior because she was Jewish and female. I was worse because I didn't have a drop of hispanic blood in me. My friend sometimes came off sounding a bit like a Jewish supremist in her attempts to validate Judaism in his eyes . So she would turn to me for info to use, also sometimes to talk to him. The a** was such that my most logical points,expecially the "look at how christianity has or was built on that Jewish aspect you just said proved Jusaisms worthlessness" was not good or worth listening to because I was a girl. At which point he would say " whatever" and walk away.

He was the worst.

[silverwolf]

I try to ignore people like that. I feel that all of you here are unbiased and mature enough to understand this: I am athnostic, I am not 'lost' or 'religion impared'. I have not strayed from the path of rightousness.

For those who don't know: an athnostic is someone who believes in supernatural beings and possibly even the omnipotent, but not a specific god or goddess.

I have recieved several jerkwads who think that their god makes them superior to me. I often receive this: "Gasp! You don't believe in god?" These people do not expect an answer. the ones who do say "Why don't you believe in god?" to which I reply "Why DO you?" I might even be doing them a favor, making them think.

I don't want to insult any of you or have myself shunned, I just thought you ought to know. That opinion(that you ought to know) is based off of true-life experiences. I have known people who have been highly uncomfortable in my presence when they found out, and there is one girl who stopped speaking to me when she found out that I didn't believe in her god.
I hope I don't make anyone uncomfortable!
and I hope I didn't kill the topic.

[lysinias]

Silverwolf: You didn't make me uncomfortable, I couldn't care less what you believe in spiritually. It's not my place to judge, and you must have had a good reason to decide that spiritual path. Just like I have a good reason to be Jewish. I'll stop now. Before I blather on and make a fool of myself.

[silverwolf]

I honestly don't care one way or another what anyone else's spiritual ppoint of veiw is, I'll be interested, and I might ask questions, but it never bothers me unless a person is really, really into their spiritul practices and acts all 'holier-than-thou'.

[Rehiro]

Yeah, I think that different spiritual paths can be quite interesting. Im not even insulted by anyone who thinks im insane. I dont like it though, if someone is completely unopen to anything and thinks that im going to rot in eternal damnation, but they dont tell you 'cause they just want to be your friend in the time before you go to hell. I mean c'mon dude, you dont think im worthy of conversion or something?

[silverwolf]

Oh, people around me are very open to telling me that they beleive that I'm going to rot in eternal damnation. I've been cursed to hell at least twice since September.

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

Wow... No one ever tells me such things. Then again, I don't see many people, and when I do, religion (or my lack thereof) is rarely a conversation topic. Also, on the rare occasion it DOES come up, after I tell them I'm atheist, I have to explain what that word means to them. ._. Oy.
On the same note, I'm the only non-religious person on my mother's side of the family. Two of my uncles are even ministers.

[Rehiro]

Hmmm. This is a pretty sensitive subject. Im scared.

[lysinias]

Heehee, don't be. I think everyone here is on the same page of vague curiosity, but no real need to alienate people because of specific beliefs. Please speak up if you feel I am wrong.

Also the subject is still evolving, and likely to be a new one soon. I don't mind that though, that's part of what keeps this forum interesting.

[silverwolf]

The subject of religion mainly comes from people who discuss a religious ceremony, then decide to ask everyone what their religion is.

[Rehiro]

Still going to do more work on dreams Amelius!

[silverwolf]

Yeh, yeh, but until then we're going to take this thread and RUN with it!

[silverwolf]

Orrrr, I may post my dreams and get us back on topic. Dang my second dream! Which actually has nothing to do with CTV.

Anyway, first dream:
So, I'm actually the main character of this dream, which is exceedingly weird for me because I rarely play an important part in my dreams, in fact, I rarely dream. I'm this little demon girl, but I have no idea what kind of demon I am, or my powers, because I'm about six. So, my dream starts out with a quick realization period where I discover who I am in this dream and what's going on. Basically, there's this evil, evil place that's trying to capture demons in order to harness their powers for personal gain, I'm a demon, I'm around six, and I'm good friends with Vic. Yes, THAT Vic.

After that I get pushed onto this dark and dreary street, try to stay with me here, where I'm meeting with a couple of my demon friends who are showing how to communicate with Vic, because this company, realizing that he's close friends with the most powerful vampire elite, AND a species of demon that they know very little about, kidnapped him for bait. I talk to him for a while and then my dream blinks out to where the evil people have kidnapped on of the main characters of an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY, Jeremy. Jer also happens to be the alpha of the Pack, also known as the werewolves of the USA. When it blinks back, I find out that I've been captured, probably because, as the little dream thing tells me, I keep having frequent blackouts due to whatever the hell my power is. So, for all I know, I could've been having a seizure on the doorstep of the very place I was trying to avoid.

Inside, they put me in the room with Victor, who comforts me and tells me that I'll be fine, because as I may remind you, I am SIX YEARS OLD. We talk for a long time, but I fall asleep, probably missed my nap-time or something, during the night, I see a wonderful image of Blaine kicking these two lackey's asses to get information on Victor's location out of them. Yay Blaine!

When I wake up Victor is gone, and this worries and scares me because I'm in a strange place with strange people and they took away my Vic! So, I don't know whether I'm doing it or not, but all of a sudden the room goes dark and starts pulsing and everything is moving and glass is breaking and I'm in this frenzied panic trying to find the door. I finally break out of the room and run down a hallway where I find Jeremy.Jeremy uses his mental connection with the rest of his pack to basically tell them to get their asses down here, because, as I find out now, I'm part-wolf. Of course, I'm also young, scared and hyperventilating, so Jeremy tries to get me calm enough that I won't suddenly accidentally throw an end table at his head.

Then, I wake up. Sorry guys, but there just aren't enough hours in the night.

Then there's also dream 2, which has not as much to do with CTV.

Okay, I'm a video game character, but I don't know it. The game is sort of a Halo/Doom game. First person shooter, the plot is thus:
There are bad guys, said bad-guys will kill you if they get the chance, try not to die.

I was traveling with this group of people at first, until one of them realized that it was a game, shouted 'LOGOUT!' and disappeared. Then the rest of the group followed, except for me. I heard shouting in the next corridor and ran to help. I see these two 'bad guys' pulling the limp body of a boy about my age, one of the BGs is nursing a bloody arm, while the other is limping, a bad-ass looking gun lays on the ground behind them. I sneak up and manage to take out both guards, fully due to element of surprise, mind you, I was totally freaked out, but I wasn't going to just let them take that boy. So, with two dead guards, I prop the guy up against the wall and go, in typical movie fashion, "are you alright? Please don't be dead, please don't be dead..." Then it got slightly stranger: "Waitaminute, Rehiro?" Then my body started slipping out of focus. "Dammit, I'm fading, Rehiro? Wake up man!" Then he stirs himself awake looks at me with confusion and surprise and opens his mouth to say something.

Then I woke up.

Highly inconvenient, isn't it? Strange though, me dreaming about boys that I've never met.

[Scarecrow]

I had a Charby dream just last night! Only it didn't get Charby-focused untill the end...

My sister and I were running from a werewolf, and I KNEW it was a werewolf, and we were hiding behind a fence, a really tall fence, and it was trying to bash it's way through.. And then I sent my sister to get dad and the rifle, and then it shoved to door open and bit my arm, so I was all like... Crap! Lycanthropy!! O.o... And then dad finally showed up, and the werewolfy-thingummy was all benign, and then he was going to shoot me and the werewolf, and then 'it' kinda carried me off, flipping me onto it's back and sort of carrying me into the sunset...

And then I realised we were going to stay in Menu/Charby's house, onle it was more like an appartment building than anything... And Zeno was acting all creepy at Mye, and Tony was nailed to the table/dresser/whatever and pulling it along after him, and I couldn't help him, And then Mye like freaked out (can't blame here) and started running down the stairs, ran past me and out the door, and then I had a baseball bat (the one Menu used for 'tranquilizer') and I was threatening to beat the bajesus out of 'evil' Zeno, and he was all... "That's what you think! I am going to explode your head now', and then I realised he couldn't, because I inhereted a kind of anti-evil-magic trait from somewhere in my ancestry, so I was immune, and then my werewolf friend was all... "Should I smash his face in?" and I was like No, but I bashed him over the head with the baseball bat, freed Tony, shoved Zeno into his room and locked the door, before stealing his EBIL SYTHE and melting it down for paperclips. And then all was well, untill Zeno sorta BURST out of his room, cackling like a maniac, and looking rather like Mavick (Sketch game?)... And poking at stuff with his finger and trying to make it blow up. Then I exploded his head myself, and all was well. And then the nice, depressed Zeno came out of hiding and there was a happy little Nightmare before Christmas song, and everyone rejoiced! That, and Azelea FINALLY decided to leave Zeno alone. And then this black screen came up in the mind and it said...
"THE END!! lol"

And I woke up laughing my head off. Fun.

[silverwolf]

"oh, whatever! I am going to explode your head now!"

you are going to get me in soo much trouble, I'm trying not to burst out into laughter(I'm in the middle of class) and I'm failing miserably....

*Snicker*
*muffled laughing*

[Rehiro]

Silverwolf: What did I look like? Im glad I didnt die. People always have dreams about me dieing.

Scarecrow: That dream sound meaningless.

[silverwolf]

I think you probably looked nothing like you do in real life, in fact I hardly knew it was you. I woke up going: "WTF?? Rehiro? well, THAT'S different."

So, you were a bit taller than me, probably around 5'7, Short brown hair, and blue-green eyes.

And that is a LOT more detailed than most of my dreams. Normally I just get very fuzzy things and end up going "well, your hair was black....I think."

If it's at all accurate, I will be very surprised.

[Scarecrow]

Yeah... It probably was meaningless. *Nodnod* It gave me a good laugh, though...

[silverwolf]

Yes, very entertaining. I'm going to do that now, you know. Whenever someone says something weird or rude I'm going to counter it with, "Oh , whatever! I'm going to make your head explode now!"

[Scarecrow]

Yyyyeeeesssss... You do that. Dreams are fun... Get so many ideas from dreams! Actually, that's how I came up with Grey...

[silverwolf]

heh, I actually did it to a girl in my Creative writing class today. It was funny.

[Scarecrow]

Yeah? What did she say?

Hooray for dream quotes! I had this dream with Viktor (my character) in the graveyard at night, lying down and looking rather dead, and then the churchbell began to toll midnight, and he sat up in a snap, exclaiming rather hopefully...
"GASP!! Is that the ICECREAM TRUCK?!" And I made a comic of it.

[silverwolf]

That is GOOD! Actually we were talking and she something about a character and I went "Whatever. I am going to explode your head now." Then I kinda pointed at her. She just sorta looked at my and went *blink blink* "Oookkkaayyy..." To which I replied "Really? It's okay with you?"
The conversation went on for a while.
Rehiro! Talk toooo meeee! You haven't said anything since I described youuu!

[Rehiro]

HI SILVERWOLF!!!!!

Im going to hide my physical description, but its interseting that that is how you would visualize me in your dreams. I think its how you subconsciencely wish to perceive me.

Shippo had two dreams with me in them. She saw me as a griffin and a child in rags.... why would she wish to perceive me as such?

I tend to get in peoples dreams quite alot.

[Scarecrow]

I get my sister's dreams alot... But I usually have batwings and my left eye is often red... Why do you think you get into people's dreams, by the way?
