The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Hmm, let's see:

 

Parmenion turning 28...and

Vald and Astral and Aardvark are both turning 23

 

So... 23 + 23 + 29 = 74

 

74 Divided by three equals 24.66 repeating...

 

which rounds up to 25...

 

The same age, which by some cosmic coincidence, I had in mind when I wrote my friend a birthday poem some years back...

 

So call it Fate or laziness...or maybe a little of both... but here goes:

 

**Clears Throat**

 

**Hums**

 

 

Flicker

NOV 21, 2002

 

When you sing that silly song

A quarter’s lapse has come and gone.

 

Counting Candles, oh so bright

Seen to rival, a star-field night.

 

Set in flame, you face enframed.

Do not dismay, these daunting rays.

 

Within each flame, a scene will show

The time you know, from flicker to glow…

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Happy, Happy... :wizzie:

Wyvern barges into the room upon hearing that numbers are being rounded up, pausing as he notices the birthday gathering at hand. Grinning and nodding appreciatively in the direction of Valdar, the lizard reaches into a cardboard box that he's carrying and pulls out a not-so-neatly packaged gift, which is topped with a few uncurled ribbons. Wyvern frowns at the state of the ribbons for a moment, then rummages through his tunic and grips one of the ten Swiftness Potions he has available. The powerful glow of the formula engulfs the area for a moment as Wyvern holds it up, causing Rydia to wander towards the glittering vial in awe.

 

"Shiiiiiinnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyy."

 

Wyvern hands the illuminated vial to Rydia in her mesmerized state, taking advantage of her fascination by using her pointy ears as a means of curling the ribbons that rest on top of Valdar's gift. Satisfied with the appearence of the present, Wyvern turns to Valdar and hands him the gift, winking and explaining:

 

"It's an Almost Dragonic Brand Q-Tip Javelin™... perfectly for both knocking nasty astral enemies over and cleaning out blood from ears when battles have ended. Have a great birthday, Valdar!"

 

With that, Wyvern takes the remaining cardboard box and turns to Aardvark, grinning and handing it to him.

 

"Wassis?" mutters Aardvark, glancing into the box as he tries on the fashionable straight jacket given to him as a gift from Merelas. "There's nothing in this box."

 

"It'sss a watch tower for your impenetrable fortress of boxy doom." The lizard nudges Aardvark with a scaly shoulder and lets out a long hiss. "Happy birthday, you megalomaniac you." ;-p
