Mountain Top

[Mee]

High atop the tallest mountain of the town, lives a hermit. This hermit is wise beyond compare.
He knows all. Every question anyone asks, he can answer.

Now, this is all fine and good, but . . . this isn't him. Yeah, it's a hermit. Yeah, he's on a mountain, and he knows all the answers.
But . . . his mountain is . . . lacking. Therefore, his answers are lacking.

Anyone may climb the mountain to ask him questions, and he will answer.
His answers might not always be right, but he will answer.

Here is a picture of him on his hill:

[Beholder1995]

The Inquisitor approaches the hill, in his natural form.

[Mee]

The old man sits atop the mountain, getting wiser.

(Old = 26, mountain = small hill :smalltongue: )

[Beholder1995]

The old man's only twenty-six??... :smallconfused:


~-~

Xallace walks to the 'summit' and looks the old man over.

[Mee]

Yup. :smalltongue:




The old man is 26, with a loooong beard. Seeing as he's never shaved.
He's also wearing makeup to look ooooold.

[Beholder1995]

Uh... hi.


~-~

This should prove interesting... :smalltongue::smallsigh:

[Mee]

"Greetings."
He says, still looking out over the wide, open land.
(Wide open land = . . . . roughly a meadow.)

((Ayup.:smalltongue:))

[Beholder1995]

I GET IT ALREADY! THINGS ARE SMALL HERE! (:smalltongue:)


~-~

Indeed. Greetings.

You are a sage of wisdom, are you not?

[Mee]

(:smalltongue: . . . . ?)
"That I am. I know all. I am also very modest."

[Beholder1995]

Good.

Can you tell me how to garner the personal information of a powerful druid?

[Mee]

"Yes, however, the answer is long, and confusing.
You might not understand it. And it might not be the answer you want.
Do you still want to know?"

[Beholder1995]

I do indeed. Explain it to me. I have time.


~-~

You have me scared, actually... I can't tell if it's going to be a short blurb, or long and confusing... :smalltongue:

[Mee]

"Good. Your answer, is this:
Ask him.

That'll be five silver."


Blurb

:smallbiggrin: :smalltongue:

[Beholder1995]

I hate you so much. :smallannoyed:

He tosses him his five silver and walks away.


~-~

:smalltongue:

[Mee]

He nods, and puts the silver into a hole in the hill.


Cheap rip-off of what Beholder does

:smallbiggrin:

[Beholder1995]

Excuse me?? Are you saying I rip people off?? :smallconfused::smalltongue:

[Mee]

No, I said that I do. :smalltongue:

[Beholder1995]

I'm going to stop now. :smalltongue::smallsigh:

[Mee]

Oh, okay.

If you want to ask more questions, by all means, come and ask.
As you see, his answers are all correct.
That was was the right answer. It's the best way to find out. :smalltongue:

[Beholder1995]

A small green man runs up to him.

Wise old man! What is Pi to the fiftieth decimal place???

[Mee]

"3.14159265359289."

What's scary, is I remember that. I didn't have to look it up. :smalltongue:

[Beholder1995]

That was impressive, I admit, but


fiftieth

:smallamused:

[Mee]

Whoops, I miscounted, sorry. Anyway: "3.141592653592897."

[Beholder1995]

fiftieth

Sound it out, man!

[Mee]

. . . . why did I read fifteenth?
I really don't know. I'm sorry, it probably has to do with me doing too many other things right now. :smallsigh: Sorry.

"I'm sorry, I only answer those that ask honest questions. Not Smart***s who are trying to be pains in the butt. Go away."

[Beholder1995]

:smalltongue:


~-~

and :smalltongue:

He grumbles and leaves.

[Mee]

:smalltongue:
I'm sorry about that.
Ah well.

He contemplates his navel, sending him up a level of Wise Hermit.

[Beholder1995]

He contemplates his navel, sending him up a level of Wise Hermit.

Okay, that one made me laugh. :smallbiggrin:

[Mee]

Thank you. And he will keep contemplating it, until he gets another visiter.

[Szilard]

My brother memorized pi to like the 150th diget.

[Mee]

Cool. Now, come ask something. :smalltongue:

[Szilard]

Later, I have to go get a tux.

[Mee]

Oh, okay. Well, the thread will be here.

[Szilard]

Yoko comes from the water guts tavern with an egg in his hands. What kind of egg is this?

[Mee]

I (The player) need to know that first, or I can't answer.
Sorry.
He'll answer as soon as I know, but, until then: "Shiny."

[Szilard]

I don't know what kind of egg it is, that's why Yoko is asking the wise dude.
Do you know what animal layed the egg?

[Mee]

I (the player) need to know. Which is why I'm asking you. This guy uses OoCK, IC. So when I know what it is, I can answer. Until then, he's going to avoid answering. Please, tell me. That is, if you know.
"Yes, of course."

[Szilard]

((I don't know, that is why I am asking you, so make something up, roll a dice, i don't care.))
Will you tell me?

[Mee]

((That is up to the person that gave you the egg. I don't make up knowledge, unless it's about my characters. As whoever gave it to you, tell me, then he'll tell Yoko.))
"Yes, I will." (Just as soon as the OoC part is done with :smalltongue: )

[Szilard]

((I'll pm Q, he's offline right now. All I know about the animal is that it is cute.))
Erm...

[Mee]

((Ah, okay. Well, let me know his answer, and you'll get your answer.))
The wise guy waits.

[Szilard]

Yoko tries to meditate, but he can't cross his legs. So he falls off the mountain (hill?) and starts to go back up.

[Mee]

Hill. By no means a mountain.

[Green-Shirt Q]

((Well, as I just read this thread, I can tell you that the cute animal in the egg is called a Fable-cat. Or more specifically, a Fable-kitten. ))

The Fable-kitten egg begins to vibrate and get warmer. It rises to the tempreture of freshly baked bread. The wise guy should know that it's in it's hatching process and is going to hatch in a few days.

[Mee]

((Thank you.))
"'Tis a Fable-cat. And within a few days of hatching."

[Green-Shirt Q]

Bortak walks up the hill.

[Mee]

"What can I do for you, large, slow reptile?"
He nods, with his eyes shut, by the way.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Reptile?! :smallmad:

Bortak shakes it off.

Err, I need to know where I can find people to find me out on my quest. Can you help me?

[Mee]

"Oh, you aren't Godzilla? He's late for his 3 o-clock. Ah well.

Try the DFI. There is no where else to try. No one is in the streets, no one in the bank, no one anywhere else.
The DFI is your best bet.
And don't give up after asking once, as Barddog did. People are awake at different times. Don't just ask two people, then give up.

That'll be five silver."

[Green-Shirt Q]

Bortak checks his pockets.

Um.......:smalleek:

Bortak runs away in the opposite direction. He trips and falls down.

[Mee]

The old man sighs. Then cries a bit, at not being payed beforehand.
Ah well, it's okay.
This is just a lesson that he needs to learn.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Bortak flies away.

Don't worry, I'll be back! He shouts at the wise guy.

[Mee]

He snorts. Then puts some top ramen noodles into a plastic bowl, and microwaves it.

[Szilard]

Yoko leaves with his egg, wondering where to go.
((I'll edit into the post when I decide where to go.))

[Mee]

How about you take Bobby to the Seacave? As K is the only one there, and I don't mind slow responses.
Especially since right now, the trapdoor on the beach, leading there has been blown up. So it's really hard to miss.
