Hear ye, Hear ye!

Let it be known that the Admin of these here worlds shall depart on a leadership summit from Wednesday afternoon to Saturday at the same time. During his absence he has given me strict instructions to ensure that the world is neither dropped, nor blown up, nor anything else unpleasant allowed to happen to it that would not be appreciated were he present. So let it be written, so let it be done.

So again, our maturity and ability to care for these fair worlds in Sir Emeth’s absence is being called upon. May we all do our part, and a little extra, to ensure things are in perfect order for his return. Keep his travels in your prayers.

With honor!

*wonders why everyone on HW always worries about stuff "blowing up or burning down" while they're gone... Pyromania?*

I wonder why he didn't mention this when I talked to him this morning.

Anyway, we'll be just fine. Don't worry! We're big kids, and we can take care of ourselves.

Are we?... "Elanhil stole my dragon, and he won't give it back!"

*could not help herself, I tried *

*stifled laughter*

*raises eyebrows* I would assume that most on here are grown-ups. Those who aren't. . . well, we'll just contain them. *glances at Kaitlyn*

*waggles eyebrows * Now ya'll aught know by now that I can't be contained

*steadily meets gaze* You haven't seen me actually contain someone, Kaitlyn. Don't test me.

*laughs * I have the feeling that would be quite a match, Hannah, knowing you, and knowing me

I'd put my bet on Hannah... don't test her.

...Someone has been watching the Ten Commandments... *snickers*

I wouldn't bet on Hannah, and neither would those who know me best I will grant it would be quite a battle though, because I know Hannah and I have some similarities that would make the battle quite interesting. But we agreed to disagree, elsewhere.

@Camille: *chuckles * I always loved that line

So, Sir Emeth leaves and the Council Members start wondering who'll best who in a struggle of wills. This isn't very reassuring, guys. *counts the days until Saturday*

Anyway, I don't think there'll be much of a difference in the way HWs will run . . . other than the fact that we'll be missing a popular primary color. Anyway, we'll just work hard at our jobs and do what we do.

When was that one??

I agree with Ciela. You don't inspire confidence.

Now we know why Jay said he had to keep his Council from killing each other. Guys, the Council are here to make sure we behave....I think we're gonna have to make sure they behave! Hehe!

Take care Jay, hope you have an encouraging time!

[color=#800080] *May put my money on Hannah* Then again...Airi is persuasive... Tough call. ;)

*Hopes Jay has fun* [/color]

I'm not a grown up, and it seems to be the older ones most at risk for burning stuff down.

*chuckles * The Council does inspire confidence, because you all know that we are teasing in loving good humor. That's what makes us approachable. We are a strange bunch whose uniqueness is what makes us work.

Did you have to get technical and ruin the joke, Airianna?

Well, Jaynin AND Airianna both know that if they kill someone or otherwise misbehave, they'll have to offer an explanation to me, so I think they'll be fine.

Hey now!

You're a very mature young man, so we're trusting you to help us keep everyone in line. (Whoa! I feel really old using the "young man" line!)

Everybody knows that Marcher Lords (and that includes Council Members) require special watching by the moderators. Their high levels of creativity and authority make them especially vulnerable to strange bouts of insanity, which is what usually leads to the tremendous and incredible ideas they put forth but on occasion can turn to darker thoughts, and contests of wills.

*reads Vanya's post several times before realizing it wasn't a serious post* Sometimes you start posts that look like I should pay serious attention, Vanya. You got me.



I think we will have our hands full, Elanor!

I have no idea how to make pseudo-serious posts more obviously sarcastic.
It's in someone's sig that moderators must look after the sanity of their yellow people...

Sometimes the face helps.

Does that quote work vice versa?

*chases emus and penguins*

eru

Something tells me that insanity x2 does not equal sanity.

*drags out a broom* You leave my penguins alone, hear? *waves broom "threateningly" and desperately tries not to laugh*

Will do, Airia.

I tell you, it's those council members and MLs that give me the most trouble.

Is that rebellion still happening? If so, this might be the opportunity they're waiting for.

Frankly, that's what I was fearing . . .

What rebellion?

Learn lots Jay, and feel free to use some of those top secret leadership skills here.

The Alliance would not be so base as to attempt an insurrection while the Dark Lord is away. In fact, we take it as a compliment that he is brushing up on his skills. If and when they strike, the Alliance will come boldly with banners high and shall win by might of arms, not by guile or deceit.

*Surveys siblings with a slightly concerned, questioning air*

*Gives the "you'd better behave" look* (That look, when I mean it, is not disobeyed. Trust me. I've made all sorts of people behave with it, including ones I didn't even know or speak a word to. So take heed.)

*breaks down and grins*

Seriously, y'all, you are a lot of fun.

But do behave. Please?

I'll be good.

And so will the penguins. So don't chase them!

I hope the leadership summit blesses you, Jay.





Yes, the penguins don't need any help to be mischievous.

I'm always good. *Buffs nails...

...notices a box of matches and eyes light up*

*grins*
*attempts to pull out lighter*
*realizes he doesn't have lighter*
*tries to remember where lighter is*
*remembers Airianna has it*

@Airianna Please, may I have my lighter back. I'll be good.
*puppy dog eyes*

I am back! And blessed! And buried under a pile of email work to do... so it might be Tuesday before I am able to actually dig into here again.

I'm glad it went well.

*Posts in the correct thread * We're glad to have you back, Jay. I'm happy to hear you were refreshed, rejuvenated, and invigorated.

Same!

*does not envy Jay's pile of email*

Yeah, I have over 200. Haha.

Good to have you back, Emeth! It just isn't HolyWorlds without you.

That's a lot.

Glad you're back!

Remember the Q&A about the blue page not taking you to your place in the thread? This thread is giving me serious trouble in that regard. Not once has it taken me to the right spot. And it keeps jumping around too, without reason.

Not sure if that's helpful, but I thought I'd mention it.

Same. It might have something to do with the fact that you can view it from different subforums...

Welcome back Jay!

(ditto Vanya)

(Also ditto to Vanya. Plus, it keeps insisting there are unread posts.)
