cmorgan Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Tashia sketches /* Tashia and Aran, SOA Banter 1 */ TASHIAJ ~[TASHIA] Rather gloomy, aren't you?~ C-ARANJ ~[ARAN] Aye, then, lass, I think you have a mite o' th truth there. Down just a little, I think.~ TASHIAJ ~[TASHIA] So, how abaout a riddle?~ C-ARANJ ~[ARAN] No, not now, as I got naught for spirited talk. You seem a mite down yourself, there. You got an interestin' familiar, some tough magic, an' you be travelin' with us. What's th' matter wi' you, to bring you so far down?~ TASHIAJ ~[TASHIA] Well, that's really no one's concern but mine. Personal matters... you understand, I'm sure.~ C-ARANJ ~[ARAN] Sure. I understand. Here, lass... have a nip from this flask. It may not solve anythin', but it will warm up your insides.~ TASHIAJ ~[TASHIA] I would think so... I can smell it from here!~ /* Tashia and Aran, ToB Banter 1 */ TASHI25J ~[TASHIA] Tell me a riddle, Aran. C-ARN25J ~[ARAN] Well, now, let me think. How about this - I sing with the voice o' an angel or demon, an' I'm always bowin' an' scrapin' away. But remore the hair o' a horse from my side, an' I cannot come out an' play.~ TASHI25J ~[TASHIA] That one is easy. It's a fiddle.~ C-ARN25J ~[ARAN] Aye, that's right. Your turn...~ TASHI25J ~[TASHIA] I have told you many, and you have told me few. You can balance the scales.~ C-ARN25J ~[ARAN] I rise in my pouch, swell, and lift my covering proudly. A bride grasps my bonelessness, and in time she will cover the swelling.~ /* Midaevil riddle... Essex collection? Wessex? Can't remember... */ TASHI25J ~[TASHIA] You can't fool me. That is bread dough!~ C-ARN25J ~[ARAN] Well, now, I never did say I was good at these games. I'm more of a 'hands on, kind o' man, if you know what I mean.~ TASHI25J ~[TASHIA] So I see. You can move that hand, now. (must... resist... the urge... to hit...)~ C-ARN25J ~[ARAN] Oh, blighted hells... sorry about that. Old habits die hard.~ TASHI25J ~[TASHIA] Not as hard as you will, if you 'forget' again, my friend!~ Link to comment

cmorgan Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 The joys of paraphrasing real midaevil riddles is that folks seemed to love wordplay back then, especially when the matter can be misconstrued with bawdiness in mind. I took a gander on the internet, and here is another paraphrase of the same riddle - http://www.godecookery.com/mtales/mtales06.htm I'm told a certain something grows in its pouch, swells and stands up,lifts its covering. A proud bride grasped that boneless wonder, the daughter of a king covered that swollen thing with clothing. I like this one, but I would need to do a fair amount of FR-izing, and I am not sure I can get it to be interesting: Time was when I was weapon and warrior; Now the young hero hoods me with gold,and twisted silver. At times men kiss me. At times I speak and summon to battle Loyal companions. At times a courser, Bears me o'er marchland. At times a ship Bears me o'er the billows, brightly adorned. At times a fair maiden fills me with breath; At times hard and headless I lie on the board, Bereft of beauty. At times I hang Winsome on wall, richly embellished, Where revelers drink. At times a warrior Bears me on a horse, a battle adornment, And I swallow, bright-shining, the breath from his bosom. At times with my strains I summon the heroes, Proudly to wine. At times I win back Spoil from the spoiler, with sounding voice, Put foemen to flight. Now ask what I'm called. Link to comment

I never did see a Tel'Quessirim as tall. An' you don't look natural.~ ~[TSJUATHA] I am a necromancer. I do manipulate death. And this serves me well. It serves <CHARNAME> also.~ ~[ARAN] You blighted well know that be naught in th' way o' an answer. An' don't try that cold stare wi' me. I have seen th' worst o' death, an' I don't rightly scare easily.~ ~[TSJUATHA] Have you walked the planes, brought animation to the dead, and weilded the powers of a Prime?~ ~[ARAN] Well, seein' as I don't rightly know what two out o' th' three o' those really mean, mayhap not.~ ~[TSJUATHA] You have much to learn, then, before you can truly fear me.~ ~[ARAN] You are a strange one, Tsjuatha. I don't know if havin' you around be a blessin' or damnation for us all.~ ~[TSJUATHA] I have embraced damnation with open arms--and open eyes.~ ~[ARAN] Well, I bloody well haven't.~ Link to comment
