Deceptive Perception [19 Jun 2009|03:38pm]
Deceptive Perception

The land known as Inora consists of a set of islands that cradle more than just mortals in its loving embrace. They were said to have been created by vampires long ago. This gave them a place to live among the mortals who fed them while painting the earth red with blood. Eventually, other races were thrown into the fray and a century of war was fought for supremacy.

Centuries passed between rulers and the times of war seemed to almost be forgotten. The treaty between the demons and vampires has always been upheld. The werewolves have always protected the treaty and, eventually, winds of change blew through the lands. Times evolved and an industrial revolution took hold. All was well with the lands.

But even something as simple as your perception can be deceptive and nothing is ever perfect...

The latest in a long line of demonic kings has died and the vampires have come back into the throne. Even with this change, death and violence still run rampant through Inora's streets and it seems the Gunslingers are unable to stop it.

Are you part of the problem or part of the solution..?

Open Books [19 Jun 2009|04:54pm]

Life is a series of open books


People get lost in the pages of books all the time, whisked away into worlds of imagination created by talented authors. People leave the real world behind for just a little bit as they sink into the written word.

Couldn't it go both ways? What if while you're reading about the characters in the book; they are reading you?

Perhaps you remember it; that quaint little book shop, it has big bay windows which always displays some book of interest to those special few, beckoning them to pause in their busy life, step inside and maybe look just a little closer. The Bookstores motto is "Life is a series of Open Books", it's shelves are packed with books of every kind, thick, thin, small, tall and wide. Not just books, anything that contains a story, or even just a page. Everything is packed; racks, shelves, and sometimes just stacked on the floor or available counter-space, all in a seeming disarray with no real organized system. Some fire hazard surely.

You never really caught the name of the place, something just drew you through the shelves and racks until you found some particular piece of literature... Perhaps you took it to the cashier, some elderly type who smiled kindly and rung up your purchase, placing it in a simple blue bag with little more than a passing 'Good choice', perhaps you tucked it into your jacket and slinked out the door unwilling to meet the shopkeepers eye, whatever the circumstance, you somehow managed to aquire something to read.

Perhaps you never went to the shop at all.. maybe your parents, or grandparents did and you simply found the book and receipt years later.

Maybe you read it right away, maybe you tucked it into your bedside drawer and forgot about it for months, maybe you are sorting out the attic and run across the book, either way, sooner or later; you find yourself opening the pages and begin to read. But this book it's special, the more you read, the further into the story you go, until you're finished reading it's all you can dream about, more and more as you read you feel yourself drawn toward a particular Persona. More and more you recognize things in your own life that could parallel that Persona, you see yourself as that Persona, you dream of their life, perhaps daydream it, who knows. Whether you read the book once, or a thousand times, each time it's the same, drawing you in, haunting you.

It's after the first time that you finish that maybe you begin to notice something, like something about you has changed, something is just a little different. Suddenly there is a talent or skill you didn't know you had before, suddenly there is an awareness of others like yourself who were drawn into stories only to find that when they finished they had changed in some little special way. Perhaps it's good, perhaps it's bad, what you do from here? is your choice.

The quaint bookstore with its big bay windows if you try to go back... is gone.
