24.04.2011: "baby, are you ready to burn? "

Time ter drop some "Easter" knowledge on you wankers. Particularly you obsessed, evangelical Christian wankers.

Back in the day-- I mean, way, way back-- there used ter be this celebration for the Anglo-Saxon goddess Ēostre. She was the Anglo-Saxon goddess of fertility and spring, hence the timing. I bet those fertility festivals were brilliant fun.

Like the wise religious conquerors of their time, those who brought Christianity moved the holiday Pasch ter better coincide with Ēostre. Oh, sure, they say it's a calendar measurement but really it was ter bring the heathens into the fold. (Helps explain why most parts o' the world still call it Pasch, don't it?)

'Course, even I ain't that old.

Anyway. Back in the Middle Ages, it was forbidden ter have eggs during Lent. So when Easter rolled around, what was one of the big prizes? Eggs f'r the little ones. Supposedly there's also some historical evidence the egg's importance came from Druidic celebrations of spring but, again, before my time.

An' y'know the whole Easter Bunny thing? Goes back Celtic paganism. The rabbit was a symbol of new life to them-- another Christian adoption ter help bring in the heathens. There's also some German customs in there, I've been told, but most my knowledge comes from the British Isles, so. Google iff'n you're curious.

So Easter? More than just a Christian holiday. It's even a big deal in Otherworld. But don't take my word on it. Go read a book, you plonkers.

Have ya heard of the Jellymongers Bombas an' Parr? They're amazin', they are. I'm finding a way ter crash their next event.

These boys are brill. I don't honestly know if I want ter eat their creations or them!

On a completely unrelated note: Happy Remembrance Day!

Not sure yet whether I'm gonna spend the day drinking an' remembering or remembering and drinking. (When you've been around s'long as I have an' you've fought in as many wars, the remembering can be somethin' of a challenge, ya ken? Plus, I've got a bloody load of folk ter toast.)

Is there stuff goin' on for All Hallow's Eve or wot? Gotta get me a costume if we ain't.



(OOC: strike is visible)

I'm back, bitches! How rabi' 'utch did you miss me?

So, anything intrestin' happen while I was away? Wisdom back yet or still skulkin' 'round feelin' sorry fer himself?

Anyway, need ter chat with whoever's leading the team now. Sooner rarfer van later, yeah?

What the fecking hell is this shite? We help him out and then Wisdom up and quits? Some bloody gratitude.

So. Who gets ter play field leader now? If it's Alistaire I may well throw it in now.

Have been monitoring strange reports from the countryside. Dunno what's up but am planning to investigate over the next few days. Will report back if I find anything amiss.

(Yes, am lazy to play cockney. Bloody hangover.)

Wicked hangover. Might be 'm finally getting too old fer this shite. ('m almost 15-- centuries, that is.)

Everyone have a good 20/4?


posted by The Faerie Dissident at 4:04pm

Oi! It's 20/4, mates! Will be out of the office today; don't call unless the world's ending-- or you want ter know where the fun's at. An' even then, I'll prob'ly be too loaded ter make a blimey difference.

Right. Took a trip ter Otherworld. Spoke wif Oberon about the bloomin' rumoured faerie attacks. He was full of aw kinds o' unhelpfully ominous nonsense.

Still be on ke'le fer the fey acting out, yeah? We gok wan be naughty things when we wan' ter be-- and I don't peaches 'n' cream in the fun way.

And if shit does go down, it won't be my fucking fault or whatever. That much I'm bloody well sure of. Honestly. Why does my father have to be such an arsehole?

Feeling restless lately. Fink I'm spoiling for a Robin Hood read and write. (Not that fighting a dragon wasn't the bloomin' frogs and logs gonads but it was wite frustrating seein' as he was nigh indestructible.)

Pub brawl anyone?

[Private to BLACK KNIGHT]
Oi! Whitman, right? Just wondering, are you related to that ol' stiff Percy of-- shite, where was he from? Scandia, right?

Honestly just can't remember if the Ebony Blade is one of those blood lineage things or if it's more the Excalibur, you-must-be-this-asinine-to-wield type thing. And you're too much a square to make the answer an obvious one.

Heh. I remember when Percy became the Black Knight. Wasn't nearly as fun as his predecessors but they were all nutters, so maybe that wasn't such a bad thing, eh?

'Course my favorite will always be Eobar. You know him, right? From back in the 12th Century, I think it was. God, we had such a bloody good time back during the Crusades. Real shame about the advent of guns. Took all the personableness out of the kill.

Wot up, Ronald Riches? This is Tink sounding Frank Bough.

I'm a faerie dissident by trade and a badass motherfucker by breed. Looks like I'm garn ter be your new teammate, ya ken?
