Lo and behold.

[Cogito]

It is I, Cogito, your not-so-humble friend. I've been lurking from the confines of my protective cowrie shell for quite some time.

I have trouble with actively posting on this forum--everyone here seems to possess scrolls dictating my every thought.

Therefore, I have made an introduction thread with the intent of saturating myself in sweet obligation.

Indeed. It's like a hive mind in here sometimes .

Dammit Alice?, I knew you were going to say that.


Just kidding. Welcome, brother.

 

[Da Blob]

bzzzzz welcome to the cata -combs

BTW what is the difference between Sweet oblations and sweet obligations (besides ig)?

 

[Cogito]

Thank you all for the welcoming.

The former tastes much better, or so I've heard.

*serves Da Blob a platter of stir-fried obligations*

 

[Mello]

Welcome, my brother.

 

[Kuu]

/me ties cogito to the forum.

Now you cannot escape

I'm certain there are things one can write about that others have not written before. (At least in this forum)


A friend of mine said that if I were to write a book, it would be about procrastination in architectural design. I bet nobody has written a book about that. Of course, if one were capable of finishing it, the author's very knowledge of the subject would be put into question. Hmmm....

Don't worry Cogito.
Just always post after me and agree with everything I say.

Even if you were somehow able to complete it, I'd wager that reading the book whilst one should be drafting won't help matters much.

Don't worry Cogito.

Terribly sorry to inform you, Paradroid, but I'm unable to commit such an action. You see, I'm a modern-day intellectual. A free thinker of the finest variety.

To be fair, however. . . your post was written quite eloquently. And the manner in which you articulated your thoughts--ever so precise. Your punctuation and grammar is undoubtedly impeccable, as well.

*gazes in admiration at the words which so freely flow from Paradroid's keyboard*

# Metallic laughter # : "Hahaha."
I have made my first influence.

 

[Melkor]

*Politely enters in a burst of lazy machine-gun fire and downs Paradroid, who is dead before he can hit the far wall*

Ahem.

I should have mentioned it's a nasty thing for new members to post in other new member's threads simply to get their post count up!

Anyway.

*Wobbles on the spot slightly, and outstretches his arms to straighten himself*

Wo-oh...

Hello there!

Who might you be?

No wait..don't tell me...

Uh..yes...

I don't know..

Hello anyway!

*Clicks his fingers in the direction of his lackeys and gestures madly, though silently, towards the body of paradroid*

Uh..we should be finding you a room, and by we, I mean me, on behalf on them, for the good of you, and the safety of some, though clearly not....

*Scrumples a peice of paper up and throws it at Paradroid*

All of us...

AHem..

*Grabs Cogito by the neck and pulls her a little closer*


Just...be careful you...

those, them, they....aren't always so friendly...

*Looks about suspicously, as though awaiting a stealth attack*

Yeah...

I'll be going..

*Stumbles over a chair, then shooting to his feet, drops out a window, with a smirk and salute in gesture to the time spent here*

*Stumbles over a chair, then shooting to his feet, drops out a window, with a smirk and salute in gesture to the time spent here*

*timidly walks closer to the window ledge*

*stares out into the amorphous darkness, a look of awe and wonder upon her face*

Unfortunately, INTP often run away from obligation. Even self-made. They just don't like the restrictions?

I never made an intro thread. But that's not because of not wanting to be obligated, that's because my perfectionist nature was pushing too hard.

YES! Stupid me making me think I should do stuff! Down with self!!!

I've often thought to myself that Descartes was a puts. I know I must exist because otherwise I wouldn't know I exist! Hogwash.

Don't go looking after Melkor in awe. It only encourages him. Did you see if he had a grappling hook? He stole my grappling hook. Bastard.

 

[Mary]

He probably lost it. Knowing Melkor..

WELCOME!

 

[Melkor]

I'll soon lose you Mary, in the deepest and most barren of voids, where your screams shall echo and increase tenfold, only to reverberate and bounce about in your empty skull like lost souls, shrieking away your insanity.


Cava darling?

I'm afraid there is an newer lady member for me to seduce, so frankly, you're old news.

Do shove off!

*pushes Cav off the nearest bridge*

 

[Cavallier]

Hey! There's my grappling hook!

*shoots at the Melkorling and hooks it in the shoulder...starts to swing back and forth slowly working up momentum*

You can scrabble at the edge all you want snuggle lips but eventually your tiny arms will fail you.

*swings neatly on to the bridge and starts nibbling on the Melkorling's fingers*

What have you been doing with these?!?

*the Melkorling looses grip and falls cursing*

Tsk. Tsk. I'm sure it's quite improper for a young lady to curse. I need a cig. Anybody got a light?

 

[Melkor]

*Just manages to grab the rope and swings helplessly for a few minutes, retorting with minor swear words and occasional sobs*


You'll meet a bad end miss!


*attempts to climb the rope...fails miserable...decides to dangle a little while longer*

Uh..little help..hm?

I have biscuits!

Someplace....

 

[Cogito]

Thank you everyone for the welcoming.

*considers saving Melkor from a fate worse than death. . . but stops after noticing a box of Cheez-its in the corner of the room*

*crunches merrily*

Worry not. If you're still there in an hour or so, I think I'll be available.
