ghost's oblivion journal..

[ghost]

i'm a major rpg'er from oldschool times.. so this is a journal of my latest game where i try to work on my personal demons role-playing style.. (carried over from the old forum..)

gamestuff:

lately i've been lost in oblivion...
(elderscrolls 4 for xbox360)

this is me, ghost.. an agent of magic.. my best abilities are stealth and natural magic ability...

ready to kill somebody...
(but smiling a friendly smile?)


kickin' back at the priory... drinkin' some vintage wine?


a 'haunting i will go...

I just don't have the time at home to get into the more complicated game stuff, ghost.

Since computer time is limited, tetris, etc is the only stuff I do - and infrequently.

Looks pretty realistic.

Is that one of those games you can play on the internet, or however that is done - you know what I mean.

I'll have to ask Shane if he has that. I am clueless.

this is just an individual rpg game..
my son's into the mmrpgs (mass multiplayer online)

i like to stick to my own game, there are so many rude and annoying people on the online games... it's too distracting..
i need my escape!

yeah, it takes time for sure..
i've been in it a few days.. and i'm showing the signs already..
dazed and can't remember if i took my allergy meds.. today.. was that yesterday??
it shifts my perspective and i can't drive for awhile after playing...
hehe... the days just go by.. it's nice
it's a beautiful place to get lost...
plus, i get to kill!! and the 'ragdoll' effects are very realistic.. very bloody.. also i can jump off high cliffs in the falling snow...
but then i die..
but it's ok, i saved the game, so i can go back..
and i get to steal all kinds of good stuff!
i like my painted pony...

Oh, too bad, because I was gonna come on and kill your aaaasssss!!!!!!!!


ghost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
oh, man i'm no weenie in gameland.. watch out!!

15 years of rpg'ing and i know my stuff..
i can do magic that would scare the crap outta ya!!!

i have a place (not a home really)
with a coffin where i can sleep when i've been bitten and want to live as a vampire...
and a spring that heals my vampirism if i get tired of it...
and an unholy shrine in my basement full of twisted human remains and tortured souls...

weapons and spells of all kinds..
but my best skills are always blades & hand-to-hand!!
fisticuffs, baby!! and good sharp weaponry...
why isn't real life like this?


well, i'm off..
back home to oblivion...

You are a scary MUTHA!!!!!!!!!

I love the smiley (Emma) on a stretcher!

I don't have any special skills beyond shooting over my shoulder, you know, as I run away

Have fun (?) in oblivion.

i think these games are actually therapeutic..
i assert better due to them, and i have to deal vicariously with my other issues.. eating for example.. i have to ingest various unappealing things in my alchemic experimentations.. plants and mushrooms of varying kinds, flesh of other creatures, undead, etc.. (and i'm a near vegetarian in real life.. only a little poultry.. nothing else.. not even fish!)

in one game i wanted to get in this demon door.. it's like a huge stone face that will open his mouth as an entry if i appease him..
he said i'd have to perform an act of evil in his sight.. ..
no one nearby to kill...
so i ate 13 cruncy little live chicks in rapid succession!!

he said, 'wicked! come on in!!!'

hee hee!!

[ghost]

sorry.. the cooties got all mixed up in the move!

ghost said:

well, i'm trying to give oblivion a rest for the weekend and keep my head out in the real world a tad..
so last night i finished some good quests, armoured my horse in steel armour and furnished my vault at frostcrag spire with trunks and barrels to hold all of my swag! that was expensive.. but now i can hold all of my hard earned (stolen) goods...
now that i've murdered someone.. lucien, of the dark brotherhood came to visit me in my sleep.. to invite me over to the dark side... i'm still thinkin'... i'm a free agent, like to keep independent.. but i have joined the mage's guild, so i get all the free equipment and ingredients i need for my spells...
i enchanted one of my rings with a spell and renamed it my 'ghost ring'.. i love this game!!!

ghost said:

i played yesterday till i had a red stripe across my eyeballs!
killed a bunch of townspeople that had been afflicted with vampirism.. still not sure if i was bitten in the heat of battle...
but i'll know soon enough.... i'll become even more pale and will develop a bloodthirst... sunlight will bother me...
well, what else is new? so how will i know???

i'm becoming alot better at my lockpicking.. i also like to steal pumpkins... i'm setting them around my living area.. decorating for october?

emma said:

It's not even OCTOBER yet! No decorating!

I made the mistake of asking Shane about oblivion. And had to listen to the tirade about how he is the only person on earth without xbox whateverthehell. Sigh. What was I thinking. But since you are so into it, and since he wants me to to do it so much, perhaps I will make more of an effort. Isn't it going to take me forever to learn?

ghost said:

hehe...
the game will suck you inside and take you away (your son, too) and you will forget you are still 'learning'... you can walk around, ride your horse, explore, learn, at your own pace... you don't even have to do any quests until you feel ready...
not that i want to corrupt you..
but i will.

ghost said:

ok.. so i've had to resort to 'feeding' on sleeping beggars & poor folk i find around the villages at night.. but still i have dreadful nightmares...

fortunately the weather's been so dark & rainy i can still go out most days if i'm careful.. but i got stuck in someone's basement while thieving and had to wait all day till it got dark to be able to get home...

emma said:

Oh, man. I can't tell the difference between what's real and what's the game anymore.

ghost said:

the lines do blur a bit for me, too...
but if i post here in 'games' it's in oblivion...
besides.. reality is subjective...
(but subjectivity is objective...?)

ghost said:

well, i've been drinking the blood of this beggar woman at night as she sleeps.. i found her in the imperial city and her name is simplicia the slow... (simp) licia (the slow..)hehehe... so there is some poetic justice to that, huh?

simp (smp) Pronunciation Key
n. Slan.
A simple or foolish person.

In astrophysics SIMP is an abbreviation of Strongly Interacting Massive Particle. SIMPs could form the inferred dark matter despite their strong interactions with ordinary matter.[1]





i've had to go to prison for murder..
it was like karma since i have in fact murdered as a dark sister of the night mother... but actually was only caught accidentally slicing a townsperson while in battle helping save a city from evil forces... just being nice.. but ironic.. no good deed goes unpunished...?

vampyrism gives me advanced skills that i kinda like.. so i am quite happy with it.. even though i must keep my face shrouded under a hood to prevent sun damage even at twilight..

back to the 'real'? world for the weekend...

emma said:

simp licia the slow? Oh, too funny! And you went to jail? Its all so blurry

See, here is why I could never play you in Oblivion: I'd get so pissed that you out-eviled me I'd have to crack you one upside the head to get even. ;D Awww...nah, I would never, but I would get all frustrated and teary just to see how that affected you ;D Bet you would CRUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ghost said:

update:
i have joined a secret organization called the 'thieves guild' and now can fence all of my stolen goods!

looking more vampyric now it seems, townspeople are afraid and make comments when i walk by...

ghost said:

i'm happy because after all my hard work & thievery, i am now an expert at 'sneak' and i finally saved up enough gold to buy a mansion!! it's a bit messed up inside, but i'll buy stuff & fix it up.. it has a covered porch around the front, a balcony overlooking a mermaid statue in a fountain, and a massive basement!!!
oh yeah, and it's haunted...
but i'm ok with that...

ghost said:

being as sneaky as i am, i was able to walk right up behind one mage after another and kill them each with one swipe of my blade, and took home enough treasure to equip my alter with the expensive magetallow candles i need to enchant items/summon creatures... make good spells!!

this ability makes living as a vampyre not difficult at all, i've bitten the necks of sleeping townsfolk right in their beds as i'm robbing their homes in the middle of the night!

ghost said:

thank goodness for my little fantasy world...

i'm a master of sneak now.. and what is known as a 'silencer'.. i'll leave that to your imagination...

i found a horse that belonged to a kidnap victim i saved, the horse's name is blossom, and although officially it is stolen when i ride it, i can't seem to return it to it's owner, so it's mine..
the painted pony i armoured in steel returned to me mysteriously and i am quite happy about that.. and then the dark brotherhood rewarded my loyalty with a very fast black horse with red eyes named 'shadowmere'.. now i have horses wherever i am, at any of my 4 residences..

i've given the murders a rest, as one dark elf i killed smiled at me right before i sliced her in half.. that got to me.. and in a moment of remorse i attempted a purgeblood salts bath to heal me of my vampyrism... but i'm afraid i've gone too far down that road already... looks like i'm still sleeping days...

on the side i have joined the 'virtuous blood' organization... all vampyre slayers... he he.. they don't know...

the thieving has made me good money, but lately i've noticed i'm not welcome to pray at the chapels anymore... ...

so i decided to help out a fellow mage who had gotten himself lost in his own dreamworld using a magic amulet.. he could not escape or awaken.. i had to don the amulet myself and enter his dark unconscious where i was able to help him regain essential elements of his sanity... perception, courage, patience & resolve..

i've been recommended by the heads of all the mage's guilds now to train at the arcane university where i can learn much more about the magic arts of illusion, conjuration, restoration & destruction..

ghost said:

thought it was about time i earned some money... he he he
so i hired a fletcher, some merchants & a crew of scurvy dogs..
took over an old shipwreck in a cave and set up a 'smuggler's cove'.. that way now i can just send others out to plunder for me...

i took over the captain's quarters, so i figure now i be a real pirate.. aaarrgh!

properly warned ye be, says i!!


here's a little sea ditty me mother taught me:

'love.. exciting and new
come aboard.. we're expectin' ya!
and love.. life's sweetest reward..
let it flow.. it flows back to you..!'

ok so i'm new but i'm into it..
now i just need jack sparrow & some good rum...

captain ghost

emma said:

Oh my god. You are nuts.

ghost said:

aaaakkk!
my hands hurrrrrttt!!
someone make me stop!!!


just another rpg junkie lost in oblivion...

emma said:

No way! Oblivion is the window to your soul. I see that you are crafty, a bit evil, and based on your recent post, a real GEEK!

ghost said:

i wasn't always this wicked..
in 'fable' i played such a benevolent character that eventually a faint halo appeared over my head and 'angel markings' all over my body.. like faint glowy tattoos.. and butterflies followed me around... in that game i had 3 wives and a husband that gave me expensive gifts all the time.. another great game!

but i've turned...
i don't know what pushed me over to the dark side?
my eyes used to hurt, and i'd get a red stripe across them..
now i've achieved a kind of glazed shell over them?
my son says now i can really get into it...
;D

i'm considered an 'evoker' now by the mage's guild.. and i am very happy with the pirate arrangement.. they plunder and put at least a k of gold into my chest every week.. then i have a 'minion' that goes out and murders for me.. just for fun!

plus a poor sleeping monk he keeps penned and asleep for late night snacks when i'm out of my nice red velvet lined coffin with the little pillows...

i'm collecting all the rare books and reading them..
and vintage wines..
this is a whole world, man!
i'm crossing over!!

emma said:

I hope you know that I really have NO IDEA what you are talking about. I have never played anything like what you are doing. It is so foreign to me. Its exciting. I am so often shocked by what you write How far can it all go? Who in gods name writes this and how do they do it?

pete42 said:

It's greek to me...

ghost said:

oh man... it's all those old d & d geeks like on steroids...
dungeons & dragons high tech style...

you gotta try one of these rpgs you guys...
like fable..
or i loved primal... if you like a female character..
or of course american mcgee's alice on pc!!!
my all time favorite.. my laptop wallpaper is alice & the cheshire cat in wonderland surrounded by twisted mushrooms...
alice has her butcher knife right with her... my kinda game...


but i'm an old school rpg'er from way back..
i've got journals crammed full of maps & notes and keys for so many games & labyrinthine dungeons... been playing for more than 15 years now...

god.. i remember puttin' that controller in my son's hands when he was 2... the rest is history...


if you ever get interested, try out the links at the friendlyghost blog.. each one takes you to a site about the game.. and there's my top dozen or more games on there...
hey, em! you & shane would have a bunch of stuff to talk about in common if you guys played oblivion or fable.. it's way fun!!
like i said, it's a great place to rebel in complete safety...
ghost

ghost said:

oh my...

i am bad..

i killed simplicia the slow so that i could trap her soul in a black soul gem to keep on a table in one of my houses... it's pretty.. it emanates a red glow by the candlelight...
it was an arduous task creating the black soul gem at a dark alter on a certain night when the sky was just so...
necromancy is banned in the guild.. but i am a conjurer now.. and how could i possibly resist?

he he he...

[ghost]

emma said:

Oh crap. NOw I have to look up necromancy. I think necro is dead flesh. Bleck. Ghost, what are you up to?

You killed Licia? Just think how much more difficult it now makes it to ever contact her? You'll be thinking in the back of your mind (front of your mind) He he, I've killed you and I own your soul. And then you'll have a flash of mushy-ness and think oh no! I've killed you and now I own your soul! Anyway, you get no points for capturing the slow. Its beneath you. On the other hand, one does need to practice these things without too many distractions I suppose. Oh, sure. Now I become complicit.

So this is banned in the guild? and you have done it. So what is your future? To be an outcast in the land of the strange?

I am considering getting this game for me and shane, but I have to get xbox360 and I don't have the cash for that yet.

ghost said:

ok..
so who am i kidding...?
i had a dream of blood everywhere.. all over me.. all over the walls & ceiling.. (real.. not in oblivion).. first it was the bugs.. now it's blood just all over..
yes, i feel bad already that i have killed simplicia..
having her soul on my table is little comfort.. and it turned out she had a 'grand' soul.. the best kind you can get..

i mean.. everyone knows i am the beggar, and the fool...

try as i may to hate licia's guts..
i still miss her.

maybe i will write her an email and apologize at least for how i acted at the end of our therapy of 6! years... maybe we're still friends..? yeah, more likely i left that bridge a cloud of smoke...


i can only be banned for practicing necromancy if i am caught.. like with so many other things...

em..
too bad you (& shane) can't just come over & play...

(we are guilty of owning every system imaginable.. and are awaiting the long drawn out release also of the ps3!!)
but i sure know about the money thing right now..

I KNOW!!!!!
there is still plenty of time to write to santa!!!!


(oh.. but you'd have to be good till christmas! ;D)

thought i'd come out in the low light and get some screenshots of shadowmere up at my home at frostcrag spire.. i took off my ring of shadows or i'd be too invisible to see...


frostcrag spire


shadowmere will kill enemies all on his own..
he has red eyes!
oh.. and he cannot die..


this is my favorite weapon, it's called 'thornblade'.. it's enchanted and has thorns along it's edges that i can coat with various poisons for more effective killing..
oops.. it's snowing out & i forgot my gloves...


i enchanted these necromancer robe & hood myself to raise my magic intelligence.. along with an ebony emerald eye ring... now they are my ghost robe & hood of shadows & ghost eye ring..


sorry i am hard to see out in the snow.. but you don't want to see my face really anyway.. i am a full vampyre...


sweet dreams??
ghost

emma said:

Ahhh, yer drawing me in with those pics...

I don't know about the bugs and blood. bugs make your skin crawl? Blood with you is so complicated. You have the x thing. You have the vampire thing and oblivion. If you are bathed in it? What is that? What else goes on in the dream? Anything that might anchor the blood? Its everywhere so, is it depression? The ache? It's too open ended. Something else must be happening in the dream.

You must know that I want you to contact licia. I'm sure I've already said that somewhere. Its always comming up. I can't figure what you have to lose? She can't be worthless or you would never have stayed so long. I hate the idea of you apologizing. Why not just explain? I doubt you did anything really mean ghost. That is just not you. I don't think bridges are burned. What about sending an email that says "Did I burn this bridge?" Maybe find out if she will talk to you before you make yourself more vulnerable? Honestly ghost, take all your crap out of it and try and think about what her reaction would be. What do you come up with?

And thanks for the definition. I was pretty far off

ghost said:

the bug dream..
i'm phobic of bugs getting inside of me..
used to have these really evil nightmares.. bugs/flies came out of me when i breathed.. horrible.. just like beelzebub the 'lord of the flies' ? and the only time i really felt like i was losing my sanity was when i ended up almost homeless and had to move back home and be around my mom every day when dan was a baby.. man, i choked down so much rage & homicidal anger then, even when i was awake i started to fear bugs were inside of me... anger.

this time i almost forgot the dream.. all i remember is the blood on me & everywhere...
i think i'm afraid of my anger.. used to have the nightmares analyzed alot, sometimes i cut people and there was no blood.. dr steve said it meant i had no anger in that situation, i was just protecting myself.. so it is sometimes anger..?
and in my dreamkeeper i quoted this from a dream interpreter/book of dream symbols:

blood:
one's energy & sense of existence, being hurt: such as hurtful remarks, being told we are not loved, can sap our motive to live and may be depicted as blood.. injury: often from past trauma, causing us to lose our fundamental life, & thus a link with all life, as seen as a sacrament..

i'm working on an email..
i'll concentrate on explaining like you said..
but what if she doesn't really remember me?

emma said:

Afraid of your anger? Oh, you are sooo in my neighborhood now! That makes sense - being disgusted by the bugs comming out of you and the bugs representing anger. Anger is disgusting. Its your ugliness comming out. I think that being afraid of your anger is a good thing - especially when anger is rage. I think you have to keep that genie in the bottle. Nothing good can come of letting it out.

I have the most grotesque dreams of killing people - usually with my bare hands. And really, I'm a happy-go-lucky hippie chick for the most part - you know, murder and all that aside ;D Rage is an awful affliction.

I bet you had rage depending on your mother when Dan was little. I don't even need a single detail to feel that one!

What you write about blood makes a lot of sense for you. It is so essential in so much of what interests you - your art, your play.

I think licia will remember you. You make a huge impression ghost. You don't realize it, but you do. My whole life, even if I never spoke to you again (no!!!! ), you would always be a vivid memory. You stand out.

ghost said:

yeah! yip! yop! i am here!!!

remember that twilight zone episode where the astronauts come back and they weren't supposed to and they disappear one at a time? that's my fear.. like i wasn't supposed to even be here...
gotta etch myself into this life somehow...

oh yeah, and we moved into our camper in my grandma's driveway... i never depended on my mother for anything in my life... she just has no boundaries whatsoever and interfered constantly with our parenting and wanted me at her beck & call for housework, her whims, whatever.. i nearly killed her.
hard to believe she's the one i feel so sorry for all the time...?
man, i wanted to carve her with knives...

emma said:

Hey, I'll kick your mother's aasss if you want. Licia's too. Just let me know who

ghost said:

em..
i appreciate you offering up your ass-kicking loyalty!


naw..
what i had for my mom was true survival oriented rage..
without it i'd have been more dead and gone and still walking this world like a zombie than i already am..

with licia it's a defense.. pure & simple.. i make a case for hating her guts.. i bolster it with my paranoia, my mistrust, any flimsy logic will do.. just gotta beat something/someone up to get myself outta the painful attachment.. 'cause no one ever needs me like i needed them.. and it will be the fishhook story all over again.. bloody and indescribeably unsurvivable.. and maybe the next time i won't muster up the self-control to cope.. so it's not hate.. i always knew that really..
when you try so hard to hate someone that you realize you are actually keeping them close just in another desperate way, you just have to own it is your own issue.. not theirs.. it is probably undeserved with licia..
you can kick myyy assssss if i ever say different again, em..


i'm gonna use that soul gem for something special..
i'm a warlock now, i have access to all kinds of stuff.. i can enchant an item with her soul.. i have jewelry in with all my swag.. i'll turn her in to a kind of magic treasure.. an amulet or necklace that gives healing powers? i'll think of something..
i'm such a stupid ass..
someone just punch me in the mouth and shut me up already!

emma said:

I gotta kick your aasss and punch you in the face? I better start practicing my Kung Fu. ;D

I never believed you hated licia. I figured you loved her and that's what hurts so much. Love = pain. You said you had to get away from the painful attachment. I wonder what exactly you mean - were you attached?

Once K said to me that maybe I was afraid of being loved.
I thought that was absurd. But it echoes in my head. I always think I am afraid of loving her more than she loves me. That is straight up and makes sense, which also makes it highly suspect. In this mess, nothing is as simple as it seems.

What is the fishook story? It came up in the poem "Just".

You're not a stupid aasss, but it makes me laugh when you say it ;D

ghost said:

oh my god the fish hook story again!


this is one of toxic's stories really..

before i ever knew anything about ad i just thought about it this way..
when i was a kid, a friend invited me on vacation with them, (since my family didn't take vacations..) and they taught me how to fly fish! i loved it.. i learned to clean/gut trout, etc..

anyway, to the point!
one day i caught this nice pretty rainbow and i played it out a bit too long.. and when i tried to get the fishhook out it had swallowed it deep down inside.. i had to wrench it out with pliers and it's insides came out and it was very painful & bloody for the fish.. i felt awful. didn't fish after that..

but i always feel like i'm still the kid fishing, and i'm also the fish..
and the bloody fishhook.. and every time i feel i've attached or hung around too long.. it's me that has to get that fishhook back out again.. and my insides are so torn inside out from going through this over and over that i'm not sure i'll survive it another time.

yeah, i attached to licia, just like to my sisters, like to several others along the way.. it's confusing because of the nature of the attachment/disattachment? i don't know how to name it...? insecure/f**ked up attachment? that suffices, huh?

ghost said:

oh god...
an $800 bill in the mail from my echocardiogram..
that's our portion.....
choke.

ok...
so i drove dan to film analysis.. they're watching psycho tonight..
and i only had one strong urge to floor it into traffic on my way home..
and then a lapse and a realization..
oh ffuuucckkk. did i just run that red light clean in the dark?

so distraction is the ticket right now.. back! back to oblivion to redeem my tortured soul.. choose a ring.. silver? with a gem.. a dark blue sapphire. and enchant it with the soul from the black soul gem at my alter at frostcrag spire..
a grand soul will embue it with powerful properties..
i will make it a healing ring..
i'll call it the 'ring of restoration'..
i'll wear it in battle..

and the pool..
the ffuucckking stick in the neighbor's pool..
if another cat gets stuck in the frozen scumwater in that pool i'm trespassing, man!
fuuccckkk the neighbors.. i'll climb over & get it out myself..
ffuuccckkkkk the neighbors.
ok i'm done.
ghost

emma said:

Yay for the ring of restoration!

Don't pay the ffuucckkiinngg bill. Or give it to them 10 bucks a month. What are they gonaa do? Nothing. My brother does that all the time. They can do NOTHING if you pay them anything. Ffuucckkk em'.

You are so respectful. I would have been all over the neighbors house in the first 5 minutes. Ffuucckkk them too. ;D

Actually, I'm in a pretty good mood.

ghost said:

today is halloween..
and i am a brand new ghost!
;D ;D

and toxic's casper the ghost kid's meal buckets from jack-in-the-box are now all around the outside of our house for neighbor/stray kitties to get drinks from so they do not have to try to jump down into that polio pit if and get freezing soakerpaws if they're thirsty!
when they freeze...
well, i gotta figure that one out.

ghost said:

back to oblivion..

i've achieved the status of master thief.. and had so much gold i bought the biggest house in the game.. rosethorn manor.. i have a servant there and she feeds me shepherd's pie whenever i want with rosethorn mead.. her own recipe! she's an orphan, but she likes living with me now, being my servant, i give her tons of good clothes.. and she sleeps in the basement where i can drink her blood very conveniently..

i've accumulated all my rarest books there and there are display cases where i've piled diamonds, rubies, sapphires, topaz, gold, silver and pearls.. as well as potions and poisons, magic items, bottled human blood and a big pile of pumpkins in my window.. life is good in oblivion...

plus there's a big update coming available on november 21!

my son is counting the days till the oblivion update..
poor shane.. he's deprived!!! i'm gonna tell santa..


well, now i am not only the master of the thieve's guild (i am the infamous 'grey fox').. but i've risen to the top in the mage's guild.. i'm arch mage in charge of all the mage's guilds now..
bring it on.. lazy pigdogs!! i can blast you twenty feet and kill you dead with my natural magic ability or simply come up silently behind you and slice you in half before you know what hit you..
the vampyrism has served me well.. the longer i go without feeding the more powers i gain like 'reign of terror' or 'vampyric embrace'.. sends even my servent running.. plus vampyrism has the added effect of protecting me from disease.. nasty germs on those headless zombies you know..

i found a cool artifact.. a staff that i can use on others to create an evil clone of the person/creature for a short time.. i have created one of my housekeeper and it instantly attacks her.. they duke it out for a while before the clone bursts into flames and disappears... i need this in real life.. i play out this kinda scene enough in my head..

love the horses in this game.. i bought another one, spectre.. he's all white and i armored him in steel.. and i bought another house.. or two? i forget.. i have buckets of treasure to spare..

the coolest and most disturbing place in this game is arkved's tower.. very bloody. very scary.. if you play oblivion.. go there... i liked it very much.. plus a room full of giant furniture... or did i shrink down like alice?? and trapdoors.. ah yes... my favorite..

well, it's been awhile since i've updated this.. alot has happened..
after closing oblivion gates all over cyrodill and finally one great gate outside the town of bruma, they very kindly erected a statue of me just outside of the castle there..



so, after many long and bloody quests i also have gone about a long pilgrimage of pennance.. after much praying at the shrines i was cleansed of my many sins and my infamy was erased..
i am still head of the dark brotherhood.. but i can keep my hands clean if i so choose as i now have several murderers, a dark minion, and a crew of pirates that will do my bidding for me..


now i'm taking a little oblivion sabbatical until the 'shivering isles' update comes out..
ghost

[ghost]

wow.. so much time has passed..
and i still spend much of my time living as a vampire in oblivion..
i completed the shivering isles update..
basically i had to go into the realms of dementia and mania and become the duchess of madness.. not a real stretch for me..
i really enjoyed it there.. the land of mania is rich with color and perfect for artistic types like me.. and in dementia i helped souls trapped on the hill of suicides..
(if you're ever in the town of dementia look up my friend, cutter.. she's especially good with sharp things.. )

these days i spend alot of time practicing alchemy, creating good new potions and poisons of my own design..
i have to do my pennance/pilgramage all over again, i'm afraid.. i murdered someone.. but you know.. that'll happen with me.. hehe
i've taken up the bow and arrow and found out i'm a natural..
there's not much left for me to do here anymore unless they come out with another update.. my houses are all flush with treasure of every kind and necromancy equipment, books, vintage wines, psychadelic mushrooms and rare ingredients, oddities/trophies/skulls, etc..

some of my latest stats:
days jailed - 12
items stolen - 17,346
items pickpocketed - 87
assaults - 231
murders - 45
horses stolen - 1
creatures killed - 3385
people killed - 1325
locks picked - 1248
lockpicks broken -217
souls trapped - 162
ingredients eaten - 2152
potions made - 252
books read - 1542
days as a vampire - 531
necks bitten - 243
jokes told - 271
diseases contracted - 6
hehehe..


whatever will i do when the last cave or dungeon has been explored and i am left back out in the cold cruel world? ?
;D

You make me want to check out that game! Nice screenshots!

I happen to be a WoW (World of Warcraft) fan, but frankly, as my character got older and more and more people require me to spend many real world hours at specified times to play, it's lost a little of its charm for me. I have enough issues with attachment in real life - I'd rather get in, do my quests, maybe chat with people for a short time and get the heck out.

I think I'll get a Wii, if I can ever find one in a store.

[ghost]

it's funny.. my son resists playing wow because he knows he'll get too sucked in.. instead he enjoys runescape online.. we both are heavy duty gamers who are more the solitary type..

oblivion is wonderful.. the pc version or the xbox 360.. and morrowind (it's elder scrolls predecessor) is just as absorbing..

nice to have a fellow gamer on board!

oh my gosh.. it looks so strange when i've updated the cooties and they make no sense on the older posts!

well, oblivion has finally released it's last downloadable content called 'battlehorn castle' (your own castle & knights!) it is free for this week only so go snag it or you'll pay later:

www.elderscrolls.com/home/home.php

the thing is my son gets first crack at it.. the xbox360 is kinda his.. but i was thinking of maybe just tying him up and sticking him in his closet till about november..?

i can't wait till my turn!
a vampire has neeeds..
it has been tooo long since i had my sustenance!

i love my new castle!!!!!!
i now have a stable for some of my horses..
and my own forge..
as well as servants handy with food and drink..
and midnight snacks while they sleep.. hehe..
(i am still living as a vampire..)

i have a minotaur head over my bed and stuffed trophies of all kinds of kills, as well as my own special exotic wines right from my own basement..

i love oblivion..

ghost

[sleepflower]

Bleh, that's really unfair!

I relayed this to hubby and he was in shock for you!

I could post you some Warhammer 40k figures to paint for him - would get me off the hook!

well i defeated fable:the lost chapters playing as an evil (male) character:

by the end my character was a fully evil aligned assassin with horns, red eyes, and a red mist & swarm of flies that followed me around.. hahah..
my character vomited total 88 times and is classified as alcoholic (973 drinks)
i sacrificed enough innocent people to earn the evil 'bow of skorm'..
.. plus i managed 29 decapitations!
and had 16 people fall in love with me.. haha ha.
but evil aint easy! it's hard work..
hopefully i've gotten it all out of my system?..


so now i'm on the methedone of rpgs to help my oblivion withdrawls.. it's oblivion's predecessor, elder scrolls 'morrowind'..
i'm a khajiit (cat lady..)

this time i'm little bit evil, little good (especially to my fellow khajiits!)
good thief! good sneak! good with sharp blades!


right now there's this naked barbarian here in my room..
(something i'm not that unfamiliar with.. hehe..)
seems some witch stole his clothes and i've been trying to help him but we can't find her yet.. she's up in the hills..
i'm reading a book here 'vampires of vvardenfell, v. 1'.. it seems i may be able to play this game as a vampire as well! just need to find a suitable community.. i'm looking for an aundae as they are potent spellcasters who hypnotize their victims before feeding..

[ghost]

well, it seems like i'm destined to be a vampire..


yesterday i was bitten again and contracted porphyric hemophilia..
and this time i got fangs!






back to biting and sleeping days..
