Family Practice
Jun. 7th, 2004 06:53 pmThe Corona De La Sangre dojo is still running. It takes a while to learn those kinds of skills, especially if you've spent a couple of millenia depending on mojo. It was quite tricky in some ways, during the Hunters' Moon, but things should settle down, now.
I've picked up some experience since we've been travelling through the last four of five dimensions, but there's always more to learn - that's the idea behind having the dojo, of course.
By the customs where I come from the operative just meets whoever fate serves up and takes her away with him. I've never been too sure about how people here are supposed to feel about their in-laws - by the time they make a song and dance about it things have probably gone wrong. Anyway, the Little Wolf set it up so I was combat-paired with my brother-in-law.
I hadn't been over-pleased not to have been able to stay near enough to Erynne to be sure she was OK during the Hunters' Moon. I don't usually wait in the audience and sometimes it helps to just work off tension. I practice a lot anyway, but ... Stephen maybe had troubles of his own, too - at least when he found out about my combat methods. (I did not toast him! I didn't make the slightest attempt.) It's just natural for me to smoke out when anyone tries to get to close grips.
When Erynne they decided that it wasn't permitted I was Ok about it.
<Firewalled against all who mean harm,
see the words,
obey the charm. It might not do for Stephen and the rest of them to see how often that's creative use of illusion, anyway. A fast illusion can sometimes give me time to really smoke out or not, of course.
Then - my clothes do tend to ... reshape if somebody grabs at them... It's not "cheating". We're all learning new tricks,combat tricks, anyway. Using that much Mojo can use up a a lot of energy, if the operative gets out of practice, so I haven't had much time to update this journal and so on. I must think up some kind of training that Erynne and me can have some fun with.

basic stuff, you'll both have a better handle on how much the other
can take. *hugs you*
I'd like us to have some alone time too. The portal lessons will give us a good excuse.

Date: 2004-06-24 04:31 am (UTC)Ki-lin
A mythical being of Chinese mythology, comparable
with the western unicorn. Ki-lin personifies
all that is good, pure, and peaceful. It lives
in paradise and only visits the world at the
birth of a wise philosopher. The Ki-Lin is
said to walk on earth and on water. It never
drinks or eats dirty food or water. The Chinese
unicorn never treads on smaller animals below
its feet nor does it ever harm another living
creature. The Ki-Lin is the emblem for
exquisite goodness, longevity, grandeur,
endless compassion and great wisdom. According
to Chinese mythology, at the birth of Confucius
a Ki-Lin appeared and Confucius died soon after
a Ki-Lin was killed, he believed that his
writings would not proceed from the omen of the
death of the Unicorn.

Crazy Canadian chainsaw chucker Tom Comet was able to juggle three petrol-driven chainsaws for 44 throws (14 complete rotations and two catches) on August 5, 2002, at Princess Street Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Tom, a member of the Daredevil Opera Company, performed his cutting-edge record attempt in front of a 1,000-strong crowd at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His act – the aptly named "Rocket Johnny and Roxanne Rolls' Untimely, Tragic and Fiery Death Stunt Show" – began with Tom dropping a chainsaw after 22 throws, but he calmy picked it up and started again, beating the previous record of 42 throws.

Mythological Background: The phoenix is the highest
and most revered force in the skies. It's
associated with power and prosperity, because
it is the king of all birds. Mars brings about
intense love, passion, and even aggression. It
is given the best traits of all beasts - its
different parts come from different animals.
The five mystical colours in its plume are
black, white, red, green and yellow. The
Phoenix is a very auspicious aspect in Chinese
mythological culture; and its symbol is used
only with royalty. Japanese Name: Suzaku

Date: 2004-06-24 08:06 am (UTC)You can create success with the public, especially around themes of home and family. Only take on what you can do. Learn to say, "No thank you."... Get in touch with mother earth. Tend to practical affairs.... Think before you speak. If you listen at least as much as you talk you will gain new awareness. Read something with a positive ecological orientation.... Spur yourself and your partner to new levels of stimulation.
Current Influence of the Outer Planets
Each influence lasts from several weeks to a month or more.
You can be a dash extravagant.... You need to decide when a one-track mind behooves you and when narrow-mindedness is an obstacle.... Improved self-expression is dramatic and subtle. Unique new opportunities bring pleasant surprises. Your best ideas are ready for television
One track mind, hmmm? *ponders* Now, isn't the Slayer's birthday
in January?
