[QUOTE="Coik, post: 891404, member: 38"] The Book of Nutkine _ _ _ _ _ _ As Transcribed by Coik, Childe of Malkav, from the Ramblings of a Shadowy Beast Part 1: The Beginning In the Beginning, we languished deep the Uncharted wilderness, called by some the ENboard. We were lost and without Guidance We did not Dance, for we had no Music We did not See, for we had no Images We did Nothing, for we were Nothing, and our [Lives] without Purpose. But Lo, one day there came a stranger. Red furred and diminutive was he. He said unto us, "I am Nutkin[e] "You do not Dance...come, I have Music. "You do not See...come, I have Images. "You are Nothing...come, I will give your Lives Purpose." Nutkin[e ]left then, and we who followed him did Nutkin[e ]traveled to the three-fold [realm ]of Pod, and there established his dominion. And Lo, we Danced to our master's MIDIs Gaped at his [Modified] Images And Laughed and found Purpose. Part 2: The Calling But great Nutkin[e] was not satisfied He knew that many others had not heeded his Plea And Languished in the ENBoard wasteland And so he gather us, his Followers, and bade us thus: "Go, swiftly deliver my Missive "For I have selected those who Languish behind and are Worthy of Ascension "Go, deliver my message to the Robotic Zombie and her progeny "Go, deliver my message to the Siblings, the Hunter of the Dead and the Hunter of Elminster_ "Go, deliver my message to the Reefer Three: the [Kraut] bat, the Snow god, and the It's "Deliver my message in the Halls of the Dead, to the [Mini]-Lop and the Dungeon Delver "Deliver my message to the Master of Lore, and the dominatrix feline "Deliver my message to all my Chosen." And we did so, and the Chosen responded Slowly they gathered in the three-fold realm of Pod There they established the Chair of Anger And there was much rejoicing. There they established the Shack of Love And there was much rejoicing. And Nutkin[e] sat back in His chair and did Grin And proclaimed to his Wife, the Dead-but-not-Dead Girl "All is Well." Part 3: The End But all was not Well in the three-fold land of Pod Enemies of Nutkin[e] and his followers gained Entrance Throwing the assembled hosts into Confusion And the Master of Lore Long envious of Nutkin[e]'s Realm, for it far outshone his Own Saw this and Plotted He exposed how Vulnerable Nutkin[e]land was to its Enemies And began the Burning Times Nutkin[e] fought Valiantly against the Invasion, but to no Avail And then the ultimate Betrayal came The very Land itself The three-fold realm of Pod Turned on Nutkin[e] and cast him Out And thus we are here, Childe, With the End Times staring at us [I]If you enjoyed this book, look for these by the same author also:[/I] The Schreck Fragments, The Nutkin Record, Nutkin Apocrypha, Chronicle of the Black Nutkinland, or Revelations of the Dark Margo [/QUOTE]
