Nathi's Nook: The Not-So Eternal

Postby Dread Lady Nathicana » Sat Feb 15, 2014 8:59 pm

Looking around on entry, you find yourself in a cozy sort of space.

Two opposite walls of the room are made of glass. Peering outside, you discover that this is a room that seems to be orbiting the ever-changing realm that comprises NS Earth. Below you is the Big Blue Marble and peaking over it in the far distance is the yellow sun. Glancing in from the other glass wall is the silver-blue moon, and everything else seen outside of them is deep, dark space sprinkled with twinkling stars.

The two remaining walls in the main area are of an earthen texture, one of which houses A softly glowing fire is burning which keeps the room the perfect temperature. There are many wooden tables and chairs of eclectic design set here and there, the number of which seem to shift as space is needed, as do the dimensions of the room. There is a never-empty cupboard filled with drinks that are always the right temperature, along with the necessary additions and implements for making them just right.

The mantlepiece above the fireplace holds a small boat made of china, several books who's topics and covers seem to change on occasion, and a delicate clock that chimes quietly on the hour and shows an intricate dance of tiny silver figures moving in and out of it to the music. Above it all, a large double-bladed axe is mounted, with a small plaque underneath naming it 'The Neutralizer'. An ancient, finely carved wooden table for one or two is set facing the moon, with an over-sized cushioned chair pulled up to it. On the table are some unfinished scrolls and a quill.

There are several guest rooms in the upper levels, reached by the spiral stairs winding up in the far corner of the place. They've been made available should anyone wish to stay for a prolonged period, with the understanding that what goes on there remains unspoken, and undisclosed amongst any visitors. Anyone who wishes to enter this place are welcome, so long as they leave their troubles at the door, and any negative engergies out there with them.

This is Nathi's Nook. And it is hoped that friends will feel welcome to gather and talk, to share and to grow, to support and to spread good will amongst their compatriots.


No, you do not need to rp to be here. Yes, the regular forum rules still apply. No, I will not tolerate any nastiness here of any kind. Yes, I do want folks to be able to find a safe haven of sorts where they can relax, and chat, without the worry of people harping all the time. If a behavior is out of place, I'll be happy to remind you. If I don't bark about it, I don't want anyone else barking either.

There will be absolutely no cybering of any sort - hence the nod to 'rooms' such as the Wombat and others have had, but the comment of 'don't post it here'. Just making that crystal clear right off the bat. We've had enough nasty. That goes for the many 'lets start fighting or drama-ing it up' as has happened in other location threads in F7. Just no.

Pseudo-rp. There's a time and place for it. I don't really care for it much myself, but there's a lot who do, and that's fine. A little here and there isn't bad. If it goes too far, or takes a wrong turn, then it isn't really welcome here.

There's threads dedicated to it. Those are probably the best places for it, if folks are looking to engage in it long-term. But a little for fun now and then isn't worth getting one's panties in a twist over, neh? Don't drag old crap in here to gnaw at like a dog with an old bone that they just can't seem to leave be. Don't borrow trouble. Don't deliberately push one another's buttons. And don't rp out silly 'fights' and destruction and all the rest of that nonsense. Characters and the like aren't really appropriate. Be yourselves. It's why folks wubs you after all.

Let's see how a more controlled environment goes for a little while, with a new face, a new atmosphere, and new management.

A whirring noise can be heard.

Oh. Another one. This makes it officially four informal chatrooms. I suppose this is where I can run some testing? No? Oh well. I have some cake if anyone is interested. Hopefully no birds appear.

Cake? Cake is good. So long as it isn't a lie. That would be bad. Not sure what you'd be testing, but hey - pull up a chair. And just don't burn the place down in the process. That might be mildly upsetting.

It's something I've had kicking around more or less since my coding days as a wizard on The Round Table 3. Old MUD, if that rings any bells for folks. Expanded it a tad for visitors, but it's what my workshop more or less looked like there. Good memories. Same name, even, without the 'not-so-eternal' tag.

I had a whole realm there waiting to be implemented, all coded up, and based on the British Isles and surrounding areas mythology - fae and all. Was fun.

XD Awright, if I have to bring out the cake, can do. I'm sure I've mentioned I like to cook. And damned if il marito doesn't like all the things I can make that way, desert-wise. not that he complains, mind - but unless it's plain chocolate cake, meh. The pies, the donuts, the cookies, the bars, the puddings ... alas.

You're making my mouth water. Mmm. Pies, donuts, cookies, bars, and puddings all sound delicious.

I always figured guest rooms would have whatever was needed to have, really. Kinda the point. Just don't need to see pages of what y'all do or don't do in there filling up the joint. It passes the bounds of good taste, that.

I find it a twist of coincidence that we both posted our threads at the same time. It seems like yours is more pseudo-RP oriented, though.
