| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

The lights went down, the crowd fell into an anxious silence, and the thick velvet curtain was drawn back by hidden stagehands. Instantly, the musicians struck up a tune: the string section whined, the winds tutted and the drums boomed. Enter the demon. He was painted red and clicked onto stage on little black hooves. The crowd launched into a rowdy chorus of boos, much to the demon's obvious chagrin, as they watched him prance across the decorated stage. The demon sneered at the crowd, who hated him even more for it, and clicked over to the fake tree and lake props. There, he perched upon a fake rock and dramatically pulled a black flute from the fur about his waist. The audience settled a bit when the demon gazed at them with his pale blue eyes and played three distinct notes on the flute. "Hark!" The demon proclaimed, "With this flute I can summon all kinds of evil!" The crowd jeered, some throwing handfuls of rotting vegetables at the stage. Luckily, the demon was unscathed. He played the three notes again, the last one a bit off-key, and tilted his head to the side. "Why then does no one come?" The demon smiled broadly at the audience, "Perhaps they are all afraid of me!" |

The fool then entered all decked out in frivolous attire, his clothes a vibrant dash of colors enough to blind somebody. The crowd laughed at his appearance but the demon took no notice of the fool. The demon put a finger to his mouth making an sshing sound. More people laughed at the fool. The fool snuck up quietly to the demon and looked at the crowd with a mischievous grin. He took out a long needle and stuck it in the demons but. The demon yelped and danced dramatically. The crowd roared with laughter at the fool’s antics and the demons pain. The fool rolled on the ground great tears pouring from his eyes. Then he stood up and said," Yuck yuck, I have injured the mighty demon with just a needle. Perhaps the other demons come not for they fear me the Great Fool". He then danced around the demon making faces at him. |

The demon rubbed his butt, clicking around to face the demon, face screwed up with faux pain, "Ha! You think such a Fool could injure what the gods themselves fear!?" He brandished the black flute, again playing the same three off-key notes. "The other demons do not come because your smell frightens them away!" The demon held his nose, showing the audience his spiteful features, turning in a full circle before leaping again to the fake rock. They laughed, a good sign if there ever was one, and clapped for the Fool and Demon. "Or maybe it is your attire that is simply too loud...What!?" He cupped his ear and cocked his hip, "My kin simply cannot hear my flute over it!" Edited by Taiaka, Fri Sep 21, 2012 12:06 am.

The fool listened to demon with a stoic face and smiled when he was finished. The fool said," Yuck, A fool I maybe, but I was not the once dancing around as if my pants were on fire". He danced around some more showing what the demon had done. Though the fool fell at the end of his. This produced more laughter from the crowd. He then looked up as the demon spoke again and smiled and said," Tis not me that smells oh feared demon. Tis the dung I am going to throw at you". He then got up and a cart of dung came on the stage and the fool grabbed some and threw it at the demon. The crowd laughed some more obviously enjoying the fool’s antics against the demon. The fool then wiped his hands off on one of the curtains and proceeded back to the demon. And listened to him speak and grabbed a mallet given to him by one of the stage hands. He then hit the demon with the toy prop and a gong sounded off in the background. The fool chuckled and said," Nay tis the sound of your empty head that your kin cannot hear over". He then chuckled some more and blew a raspberry at the demon. |

The demon wiped his face of dung, flinging the excess from his hands into the front row (to both cheers and jeers), features contorted with severe offence and an anger that came with a smirk. But the audience couldn't help but laugh as the demon fell over backwards, rolling head over arse when the fool hit him with the mallet. Once the gong sounded and the Fool spoke, the musicians began a high pitched ditty, emphasizing the raspberry blown at the antagonist. The demon crouched, showing the crowd the black flute he still held in his hand, spinning round. But they did not seem to care; they called out for the Fool to 'finish him off' and for the demon to 'smite the Fool', but neither occurred. Instead, the red-painted demon seemed to retreat, cowering by the fake pine trees as if to recover from the mallet blow. "Fool!" He shouted, rubbing the side of his head, "You know not of the awe inspiring forces I have at my disposal!" Again, three notes from the flute....A poorly concealed stagehand threw something near the wooden lake that puffed with smoke. It was almost thick enough for the crowd to ignore the fact that a mangy goat was pushed on stage. It stood there, stupidly, and baaaahed its offense. The demon stepped close to said goat, leaning down to stroke its head (and was bitten by it). Nonetheless, he jammed a glob of peanut butter in the goat's mouth and laughed as it appeared to speak (the voice, in actuality, was a stagehand's), "Our demon brethren have come!" Said the goat, in a grumbly voice. And from off stage, 3 pretty dancers appeared, each of which twirled in circles around the goat and demon, singing haughtily to the sound of the musician's song. The demon smiled and held his arms wide. The audience cheered. |

The fool only smiled at the demon when he spoke. For then he saw the smoke and the goat. The fool laughed and said," Yuck Yuck, a demon goat. That’s the scariest thing since that chipmunk I saw ten seconds ago". The crowd laughed with the fool for indeed the goat was not at all fearsome. When it spoke however the crowd gasped and the fools mouth dropped comically. Then the fool said," My dear demon, I do apologize. It does seem that the goat demon is intelligent. “Then the fool smiled again when the ladies proceeded onto the stage and said," But hark what is this three pretty demon ladies join you. My dear demon I had no idea thou was such a player". The crowd laughed and cheered the demon and the fool for his compliment. However the fool would not be out done and said," Now let me call my friends to deal with yours". He took out a small triangle and dinged on it. Three strapping young men in fool costumes came onto the stage and each proceeded to take a demoness hands and dance with her. The fool said," It seems your lady demoness have left your for my fool friends what say you now demon". |

Taiaka was glad the crowd was engaged by the fool and that he was despised as the demon. It meant he was doing his job and wouldn't be yelled at by Jacque. Well, to be fair, Jacque was still going to yell, but perhaps not as loudly. The demon would worry about his admonishing later... In the meantime, he gaped at the hulking fleet of fools that danced with his demonesses. The demon pranced around the dancers, showing the audience his disappointment, and strived for the ladies attention. He stood on his hands and weaved in and out of their bodies, he did a backflip and landed on his feet, he even cartwheeled around the plumpest of the demonesses...but all to no avail. They laughed and laughed, hugging their fool counterparts close to their bosom and paying the demon no attention. "Blasted women!" He cried, little demon tail twitching with anger as red demon eyes looked to the Fool beseechingly. "So if the goat is smarter than me.....?" He asked the Fool, "And your fool friends are better looking than me....?" The demon fell on his butt, hooves facing the crowd, horned head in his hands, "Who will I dance with?" As if on cue ('cause it was on cue) a large woman (large as Balefire's night is long) painted red, horns sprouting from her temples and stomping along on bare feet, entered stage right. "DEMON!" She wailed in a high pitched, nagging voice. In one hand she held a wooden rolling pin and around her wide waist was a dainty pink apron. "Deeeeeemon!?" She howled again, eyes going wide at the sight of the dancing demonesses. Taiaka hurried to his feet and darted over to the Fool, hiding behind him, hands on his shoulders. "Hide me, dear Fool. Tis the wife....And I am supposed to be at work!" The crowd erupted into a round of hearty guffaws. |

The fool watched the demon try to capture the lady demons attention. The fool only smiled. He was playing his part very well. The fool was glad he had decided to do this. Hopefully there would be much to do about his performance later. For now though to continue. The demon spoke and the fool laughed maniacally. He said," Oh dear demon. There are plenty fish in the sea for you to dance with". He paused and brought out a fish. He tossed it at the demon. The crowd laughed at that. The fool then said," But hark what is this some great force approaches". The fool pretended to cower as the demons wife came in. The crowd gasped and some even took pity on the poor demon when they saw her. For the demon was married to a shrew. The demon then cowered behind the fool and spoke to him. The fool thought for a minute and an evil grin sprouted on his face. He said," My dear demon. You are married to a shrew. You would dance with the pretty demons yet not your wife. That I cannot have". He then moved aside and said the demons wife," My dear lady, here is your husband. He has been trying to get yon ladies attention with his antics. Why he even dance with yonder fish". The demons wife said," Oh ho. There you are you scoundrel. My mother was right about you ". The demons wife then proceeded to beat the demon across the stage with her rolling pin. The crowd laughed at the demons misfortune. The fool only smiled. Then angelic singing began to sound through the stage. Several beautiful, very buxom and bosomy women came onto the stage. The men in the crowd hooted and whistled at the women. The women however joined the fool. He said," Why it is my dear wives come to join me against the demon". The crowd whistled again at the fools luck at having such beautiful women for wives. However it was not to last. For another demon woman came in this one worse than the first. The fool hid behind the wives and said," Oh dear it is my mother in law where is the great hero that will save me". |
