Okay, that is enough to start an epic tale.
In cases where there are two dwellars playing one character, either can control it. Dwellars with more than one character can play either or both. Newcomers welcome.

Lets have a chain story. Start your paragraph post with your character entering the scene , but try to carry on the thread of the story. Try to open possibilities. The plot will be determined by the interactions of the characters of the people who are posting at any given time. If in doubt, try to be influenced by the title:

I Know Where I Am

An Epic Tale

By

The Cellar

The Wanderer's worn boots stirred the dust on the lonely road. He hoped to reach the town before dusk, for the summons he had received had been urgently worded and the name that called him was no fool.
But what is that shape, under the shady tree where the road narrows? Strange perils lurk in the badlands.
"Who are you, friend or foe?" called the Wanderer.

Trilby · 11-24-2009, 06:14 AM

"That is for you to decide," said a melodious voice. The Wanderer heard the low clang of a bell as a beautiful black and white Holstein stepped out from under the tree. She smiled at him and ducked her head. There was a rose at her dainty hoof. "This rose...it's for the lady," the cow said.

DanaC · 11-24-2009, 06:23 AM

Somewhat disconcerted by the talking, rose-giving, though admittedly rather attractive, cow; The Wanderer said "...". The bovine apparition began to shiver alarmingly, maintaining, despite her quaking, a come hither smile. With growing unease, the Wanderer watched as the cow's buxom form fell away leaving only the head, it's smile stretching into an eery grin and its flesh melting away to reveal the startling white of bone.

"Christ on a bike!" Exclaimed the Watcher, as he bent to pick up the fallen bloom, his eyes never leaving the skull which now floated in the air at shoulder height.

ZenGum · 11-24-2009, 06:31 AM

"Which Lady?" stammered the wanderer. "Wait! Do you mean The Queen?" One of his birth would be flogged for speaking to the queen uninvited; giving her a rose would surely mean beheading. "What am I to say to her?"

Trilby · 11-24-2009, 07:33 AM

The cow, which was quickly becomming just the head of a cow (much as the cheshire cat became only his smile) simply mooo'd and shook what was now, simply, it's head.

"The lady," she smiled at the alarmed Wanderer, "the lady in the small, land-locked body of water over yonder," and with a roll of her great cow-eyes, the head disappeared, leaving the Wanderer to wonder. But being a Wanderer of Some Action, he didn't wonder for long. Soon he was shaking the dust from his boots and surveying the land for this 'small, land-locked body of water' whence a lady should arise. He was feeling rather deja vu-ish about the whole matter - where, where, had he encountered this situation before? It was driving him mad, when, suddenly, without warning, the sky drew dark and stormy.

"Bloody hell," he thought, "best find some shelter for the night!"

glatt · 11-24-2009, 08:27 AM

"Hey, that's my queue", thought the Innkeeper as he heard the rumble of thunder. He stepped out the front door of his inn and called over to the Wanderer. "You best get out of that weather before it's the death of you."

The Wanderer looked over and wondered why he hadn't seen the inn before. It was an old building, blending in with the landscape. It was nestled into a small hill by the crossroads on the outskirts of town. It looked like it hadn't seen a guest in decades, but with the rain about to start, he had little choice. Besides, it had a cozy look to it.

He hustled quickly inside to the beckoning Innkeeper.

"I've got two available rooms. One is in back, next to the kitchen, and the other is upstairs with a view of the town. The upstairs room is nicer, but I warn you, the other guest upstairs is a bit peculiar. You may be more comfortable near the kitchen. But where are my manners? You must have a mighty thirst, wandering that dusty road. Can I get you some ale?"
