"Aaron looked up at the ever changing form before him. Just looking at the way the form seemed to shudder as glass turned to flesh, a tiger within a man or perhaps it was the other way around . The sight was strangely grotesque and beautiful at the same time when the form appeared to shimmer and reflect the candle light as it shifted to the glass like appearance.*
*Aaron was aware of the females breathing in the silent room, the way it had already changed revealed that she had no where near enough time to even attempt a recovery. *
"If you care at all for that companion of yours you are going to close that door yourself....though perhaps you would prefer her dead and your appearance of caring is little more than a facade and is nothing more than how you hide your self now."

You get the HELLS out of my way old man! She's the only family I've got left and I need to get her to a healer NOW! *His knuckles around the Dirks pommel whiten as the blade is readied for a grim harvest. There isn't time for this but if he has to, he will...* You trap us here in this goldfish bowl and leave me with a healer who's little more than dead weight. You have no right, we were only passing through. *Growls* Enough. Is. ENOUGH.

*It quickly became clear that though the tiger man being had been in the room, either none knew about the geneuine ailment of the female or they had not shared the information with him. Shaking his head slightly he stepped aside as if admitting defeat.*
"I am no enemy of yours but the magic of ours that is currently running through your companion is. You won't get very far beyond this how before the magic that is trying to make itslef known kills her. I would guess...such a gift must of been gained from a exchange of magics or the magical healing of one of those born from Winterian blood, you are killing her the longer you do not be aware of what is actually happening rather than running away with your instincts."

There was a healer travelling with us. I trust her a lot more than I trust the likes of you and right now, I need her help.
*He bundles up his step-sister in his arms and makes for the open door.*
Oath or no oath, if you get in my way again, I WILL kill you...

[ModNote: This thread and all its characters have been inactive for over a year now. As the forum's only active moderator, I have not had any communication from any of the members involved to suggest that they intend to return. Is it fair to assume that all these characters have been abandoned?
I am happy to keep running this forum if a good number of members want to continue RPing interactively here. I certainly do. I am proud of the flow of literally fantastic creativity that Surrounds has seen, and of how it has paid tribute to Knightmare. But standing here holding a door open 'just in case' as months turn into years is not a position I consider fair or enjoyable. I really hope that others can understand that.
I am now contemplating the closure of Surrounds but would like to be as clear as possible about how others would feel about this. Please post or PM me with any opinions, or you run the risk of your silences being misread.
Thank you.]

[[OOC - In all fairness, I've been the same over here. "Family Gatherings" and, I fear, the forum in general effectively died quite a while ago. However, I still try to keep an eye on the place as there was plenty of story still to be had here before everything went quiet. The Watchers and Fire+Ice infiltrating a corrupt circus, a la Hitman:47, being 1 of the larger plots that would have happened not long after Coriolis mistakes were figured out here.
Personally, I'd prefer that Surrounds wasn't closed completely. Though I do agree that Knightmare Roleplay is in dire need of another reboot of somekind. The kind of players that are out there generally aren't the "FanFic by committee" kind of people that kept things lively here back in the day.
Unfortunately, I've no idea what would be best to do with that reboot. I'm aware of a "Choose Your Own Adventure" section that ran out of steam much like here and an old skool MUD (basically a text based MMORPG) that was played briefly but few could figure out the old-fashioned setup at the time to play the game properly.]]

[OOC: I don't regard the forum in general as effectively dead; more dormant through lack of demand, some of which is temporary on the part of other members. My main concern is the Winteria threads, because they contain so many members, because I am not in a position to help things along and because I don't know what the other members involved want unless they tell me. I cannot arrange for a mass teleportation or a torrent of fireballs as I have with other faltering plots. Nor can I offer to take over any of the characters. I am nervous of suggesting anything that might not do the characters justice, or might be seen as cop-out (a phrase that one of you directed at my moderation once before).
But when all's said and done, your character is stuck in limbo because he is boxed in by other abandoned characters (in a way that the forum guidelines have always sought to discourage) - and I am ready and willing to help. The only suggestion I have is some kind of narrative jump, where we pick up again with Coriolis at a later point and explain in retrospect how the Family Gatherings gridlock was resolved. You have put so much into your character and it troubles me to think of him left for eternity on pause without any kind of closure.]

*Aesandre spends an hour preparing her spells and summoning her strength. Extending her hands, she sends her magic thundering through the mirror.* *Anybody standing outside, or looking outside, can't miss the hailstorm. Oversized lumps of ice batter the building, hard enough to punch through rooves and crack skulls. A glimpse of one of the hailstones would dismisss any doubt that this was a natural phenomenon. Each one is sculpted with the face of Queen Aesandre. After several minutes, the hail subsides, giving way to something even more sinister: a deep chill that creeps over, under and inside the lodge, touching everyone and everything there. The entire location is cryonically locked down, frozen in time by the most powerful magic anywhere in Winteria. For a mind and body break free of this binding would be a tortuous, torturous, almost impossible process.* [ModNote: This will serve as an explanation for the continuing inactivity in this thread, however long it may last. No character is intended to be permanently out of action, but all are essentially dormant for as long as they need to be. Any active member is welcome to free their own character from the freeze in any way that makes sense. -YG]
