The Palanthas Mage Project
Misoks and I headed out to the Shoikan Grove today. It’s very dark right now for some reason. I think it’s the trees. There are a lot of bugs around. I hate bugs so I squished a few. These are kinda weird bugs too. The made funny noises as I killed them, kinda like when you kill zombies in those movies. We saw some movement in the tower. I think I actually saw Dal-chan!!! Ahhhhh!!! How cool is that?!
Day One By Misoks
Well, here starts Mikara-chan's and my journey into the Shoikan Grove to sight the infamous mages of Palanthas mages, Raistlin and Dalamar. We walked into the Grove this morning. It was sorta creepy but I had some Reeses Puffs this morning, so I'm fine. A bunch of hands started reaching out of the ground and grabbing at our legs, so I suggested that they were on a severe sugar-low and I gave them some sugar packets from my pocket. That seemed to satisfy them. M-chan thinks she saw Dally, but I'm convinced it was just a tree. They move around a lot.
We found these cool white things around the ground. I think they’re marshmallows. They’re actually really good with those old sugar packets from McDonald’s that are in Misoks’s coat pocket. It took us a while to start a fire cuz we couldn’t get the branches off of the trees. But we did find these weird things that looked like road kill that are really flammable. We didn’t see anything today but we did hear a scream and an explosion. I wonder if it was Raistlin or Dalamar.
Day Two by Misoks
I just finished my mid-to-late-evening-snack of those white squishy things. They make me burp a lot. When we finally got a fire going, I took off my shoes because my feet were all cramped and I put the shoes on the ground next to me. I went over to throw some more road kill things on the fire and when I turned around, my shoes were gone. This sucks cuz the ground's all mucky and I'm wearing my favorite reindeer socks.
We went up to the tower itself today. Needs a paint job, definitely. I was thinking maybe a pastel pink, purple, or a light blue. I hope to be able to redecorate the tower one day. Looks pretty dreary right now. These eyes came at us today. They threatened to kill us. Misoks threw some of those marshmallow-like things at them. There was a hissing and fizzing sound, kinda like alka-seltzer and then the eyes disappeared. I now wonder whether those things are edible. Well, whatever, they’re good anyway.
Day Three By Misoks
This horrible "threatening, imposing" Tower isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's all run-down and dirty. I think with some aluminum siding and a few bay windows, or at least a shrub or two it would look nicer. The trees in the Grove badly need to be pruned and they're sorta sickly looking. The eyes that we got rid of earlier just came back with a few of its friends. We told them that I was low on sugar and that we wanted to see Raistlin and Dalamar. Then they came really fast at us and one bit me in the arm so I threw more white things at them.
I’m inside the tower right now. You see, Misoks ran outta sugar packets so we went up to the tower to borrow some sugar. Dalamar is so hot! I luv him! He took us to this room that I’m in right now and said to take whatever I wanted. There are a lot of jars with green stuff in them. I think it’s paint. Maybe Dalamar and Raistlin are thinking about redecorating. Green’s not that bad of a color I suppose. I saw some white powdery stuff. I don’t think I should try it cuz Misoks tried some and she’s laying on the floor right now. I wonder why she’s not moving. She just started screaming horribly. I think I’ll go and look for Dalamar soon.
Second entry for today. Misoks finally woke up about five hours after the previous entry. She says her stomach and her tongue burns. I told her that she’ll be fine in a little while. We’re very hungry. I couldn’t find anyone. Misoks figured that they probably went out grocery shopping. We left a shopping list on the big stone table in Raistlin’s study of stuff for him to buy. We still haven’t got the sugar.
Day Four By Misoks
I think it would've been nicer if Dally had told me not to eat the white powder. Now I have even more indigestion from the white stuff than from the white things on the ground outside the tower. Maybe they're made of the same stuff. I thought it was powdered sugar. Mikara-chan told me I was out for several hours. I wrote up a shopping list:
-Sugar (preferably cane sugar)
-Chocolate Cake
-Nutrageous bars
-Reeses Puffs
-Mountain Dew
-Milk
-Sugar (powdered)
-Oreos
-Chocolate sauce
I hope they find it cuz I don't know what I'll do if I don't have some sugar soon.
Day Five By Mikara-chan
We explored around the tower a bit today. We saw this big thing on the wall in this one room at the top of the tower with five dragon heads around it. It’s so ugly. Can’t they see how green and red clash when it’s not Christmas?? Misoks poked her head inside but she couldn’t see anything. I thought I was blind for a second there when I looked around. Ok. I admit, I flat out panicked. Misoks told me that I was flailing my arms around and yelling. I told her to go suck on it. Then, she said, “Suck on what? What’s ‘it’?” I said that it was the lollipop thing on this big table in the middle of the room. So she did. She turned into a frog. I wanted to be a frog too, so I sucked on it too. It wasn’t what I expected though, I turned into a brick. Then Raistlin and Dalamar came back and changed us back. They weren’t too happy about it. That’s why we’re in this dark room right now. I think the door’s locked but we haven’t tried. We’re still waiting for the sugar.
Day Five By Misoks
Here's some handy advice: when people tell you to "Suck on it", don't. Though I admit being a frog is momentarily interesting, I wouldn't recommend it as a long-term thing. M-chan says being a brick is even more boring.
So now we're in this big dark room and a rat just left a present on my leg. Not very nice. So I impaled it with my pencil. See who's laughing now. Ha ha.
Day Six By Mikara-chan
I woke up with Dal-chan standing over me and poking me with a stick. I told him to stop it since the stick looked like he picked it up from the dirty ground and got my shirt all gross and messed up. Misoks ate all my food. Misoks drew a picture and gave it to Raistlin. But Raistlin just looked at it and it burned up. Misoks looked really hurt and I was pretty mad at Raisty. So I told him to go suck on it. He too asked, “Suck on what?” I kicked him in the balls but god knows that he doesn’t have any. He spat out some blood. Misoks was like, “Ew, gross! You freak!” Raistlin then gave Dal-chan this weird look and Dalamar left. Maybe it was the secret signal for “get the sugar”. We really need sugar. I mean, look at us, we’ve been quiet for like 6 hours! Of course that could be due to the fact that we were asleep for the last 6 hours or so but that’s not the point. My point is that a light periwinkle blue would really be a good color to paint the walls.
Day Six By Misoks
I ate the food that the pair of eyes brought in. I SWEAR I thought all of it was for me! They didn't tell me I had to split it with M-chan! The Dally and Raist came in and started asking me questions, so I told them answers (though I won't promise they were truthful ones) and I drew a picture for Raistlin. Involving chocolate sauce. I don't think he liked it very much. Mikara told him to suck on it, and he fell for it. Maybe he isn't my dream boyfriend. Oh well. I hope we get some sugar soon.
It a good thing that we brought books along. It’s kinda hard to read in the dark but I did make out about two paragraphs in two hours. That’s gotta be a world record. I’m not really sure if they make sense though. I thought I’d bought a book called “How to get Hot Black-Robed Mages Who Are Thought-Up Characters in a Fictional Fantasy Series for Losers Who’ve Never Gotten a Date in Their Life” but apparently, I didn’t. Because I think the book said something like how to bake mages on a date. Dates are really good. They’re this dark fruity stuff that are really sticky and high in sugar. I really need sugar now…Misoks is going a little insane from the deprivation. She’s got this insane look (I think. But as I’m in the dark, I can’t really tell. Maybe I’m just imagining it). I’m not going to be like her though. I’m going to be perfectly normal and a normal person in a normal world. But I gotta be quiet now, I think the scratching of my quill is starting to wake up the giant 6-fanged pink polka-dotted hippopotamus in the corner.
Day Seven By Misoks
I spent the last 3 hours trying to read a page of Test of the Twins. Raistlin is a lot nicer in that book than in real life. My back hurts from sleeping propped up against a stone wall. You'd think they'd at least give us some throw pillows to sit on or something...I think I'll take a nap now...but I can't because the corpse of the rat I impaled is starting to decompose and smell really bad. Sort of sweet, though...sickeningly sweet...but sweet...
(Second entry) That was the best dead, uncooked rat I've had in a long time. All of its cells were breaking down and releasing their stored fructose and sucrose and othercrose. Fruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuctoooooooossssssse. That's a funny word. The blue-striped elephant is staring at me.
Started pounding on the door to let us out this morning. We were suppose to take turns but Misoks didn’t. She just drooled and spoke gibberish at the door. So yeah, my hands are pretty raw from the pounding. I really hope Dal comes soon. We did, however, discover some food left for us in the room today. Must’ve been magicked in. It would’ve been great to actually see it appear. It would also have been excellent food, I’m sure, if it weren’t just a pile of green and brown goo that neither Misoks or I were prepared to go near. I think I’ll give it to the pink polka-dotted hippopotamus. Misoks insists that it’s a blue-stripped elephant. Personally, just between you and me, I think she’s really gone for good this time. Either that, or she’s been watching National Geographic too much.
Day Eight By Misoks
My tummy feels weird. Tummyummywummy. I think it was that bad badbadbadbadbadbadbad rat that I ate. If it hadn't crapped on my leg maybe it wouldn't have gotten impaled and I wouldn't have eaten it. So essentially, it's all Herbert Hoover's fault. I leel ort sof fight-headed...I tink I'll thake na ap.
