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.

(I'm just doing my job everyday like I'm supposed to. Do you have any other suggestions on where I'm supposed to post?!)

Lilith was just about to go to sleep, when one of the bell boys came and got her up. "We gots us a customer wantin sum bread Lily" Lilith looked at the red headed, freckled boy. "The name is Lilith. And it's my time off. Can't anyone else in this Inn cook??" She sighed and rolled out of bed. She quickly dressed and walked down stairs. Before going into the kitchen, she checked to see who the customer was. She immediately recongnized her. "Kli! Oh it's so good to see you again!" Then she looked her over and realized, with a sigh, that the girl was once again in muddy, awful clothes. She gave her best smile. "Can I get you anything else with your bread? It'll be on the house."

(Sorry.. :( :blink: )

"Oh.. No thanks.. I don't eat much.." She smiled, taking out a few gold peices and laying them on the bar. "How are you Lilith?" Kli asked. "Your a cook?" She said. "What a nice job.." She smiled. "I have a job at the academy of magic now.. Don't know if I'm going to stay for too long though.."

Lilith took Kli's gold and placed it in her pocket. "Well it is interesting being a cook.I meet alot of people, but they are usually grumpy. Let me get your bread and we'll talk some more." She ran off to the kitchen to bake Kli's bread.She brought it out steaming hot with butter melting inside. She sat across from Kli and poured a glass of faerie wine for herself. "Please feel free to drink some wine with your bread. I am sure you will become thirsty. So how is your job at the academy? Maybe one day I'll take a class or two there."

"Ah.. Thank you.." Kli smiled and took a bite from the bread. "The job at the academy is great.. I'm starting to like to teach... I mean, even though people think I'm great, I usually don't have any idea what I'm going to do every day.. I just go out there and teach what I know.." She said and looked at the table. "The pay is good too.."

"Well that's good. So what are you doing in this part of the city?" Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the barmaid waving frantically at her. She sighed. "Well duty calls once again.I'll try to hurry again." She nodded politely at Kli and got up. The barmaid told her the order of a man in the corner and she walked into the kitchen. She threw on her apron and got to work mixing vegatables for the veggie plate. She mixed corn,peas,squash, and potatoes. Satisfied by her cooking, she walked out and placed the platter in front of the man. Then she walked back to Kli. "Are you sure you don't want anything else to eat? You just look so starved..." She sighed and sat back down.

"I'm fine.." She insisted with a soft chuckle. "I always look starved.." She shrugged. "But I don't get hungry too often.." She said, eating the bread slowly. "I'm a wanderer.. Like my mother once was... I just kind of wander from place to place. I've been to so many places it isn't even funny... I guess I just like to explore..." She said. "You're a very nice person.. Sure, you make my evil side sick to my stomach because your always so cheerful.. But you have a good heart.. Never loose that.." She said, taking another bite. She looked around the room quietly before resting on her. "It's not pretty.. Believe me.."

Lilith blushed at her words. *I bet that took her alot to say that. She doesn't seem to be the type of person to throw out compliments. I wonder why she's so strange all the time.* Lilith tried to shake her thoughts from her head and she examined the few customers left. "Thank you for you're kind words. I am slightly curious as to what you mean by your "evil side". But I would suppose that is a discussion for another day." She smiled lightly in her direction. "Well I have a few more orders to tend to them I'm off work and off to bed. Stay around for as long as you like and I hope you visit again. Hm maybe you could even rent a room? I don't much like sleeping indoors but I have to stay in the Inn while working..something about Inn policies.. Anyways hope to see you soon. I think I'll check on you before I go to bed." With that she got up and walked to the kitchen.

She finished cooking the rest of the late-night orders. They consisted off potatoes and chicken dumplings. She enjoyed cooking these things. On the potatoes she always cooked rosemary in with it for flavor and the dumplings had special spices she made herself. She cleaned herself up in a bucket of water ,that was meant for that very purpose, and walked back out to check on Kli.

Lilith didn't see Kli when she came back. *Hm she must have taken a room. Maybe I will see her tomorrow.* She walked up to her rome and laid the regular leftovers out for Nox. He flew in on cue. "Hey Princess how was work?" She walked out of the washroom. "Well I got to see an old friend of mine..you remember Kli right?" Nox laid his gold out in the drawer designated for him. "That I do Lil. How is the girl? She's always rather...down...looking." He pulled off the little coat that Lilith had made for him and cuddled up in bed. "Well she seems to be doing good. She's got a job at the academy of magic. Not to shabey eh?" He rolled over towards the wall. "Not bad a'tall." They both fell asleep, roughly, at the same time.

The sunlight rose to find Lilith already baking in the kitchen. Today she was going to make a special order- a glazed cake. The people that ordered it were having a wedding at the Inn. It was a special day. Lilith had to make all the food. She baked, boiled, and fried all the food herself. She had occasional help from the barmaid, but it was a rarety that day, like usual.

Everything was perfect by the time the wedding rolled around.Lilith had been asked to supervise so she had ran upstairs and changed into an elegant white dress and her purple elegant cloak.

The next day, Lilith decided to sleep in for awhile. She wasn't feeling too well. About 12 a.m. she finally decided to get up and get to work. The barmaid wasn't happy at all because she had to take over while Lilith was in bed. Lilith dragged herself into the kitchen to start making a pot of tea. She had missed breakfast, so she made herself a small sandwich and got to work. She cooked all the regular things with the exception of a special young lady that ordered raw pig.

Lilith finished up the night by cooking sweet muffins and chocolate pancakes. She made a fresh cup of coffee and occasionally she had to use create water to refill a customer's glass. She was really happy with her new spell. After she cleaned the counters up and put the dishes up, she headed up to her room. She collapsed into bed without looking for Nox. She had been so tired recently because she was coming down with some sickness. It seemed to be of the sort that she couldn't heal and she knew that she would have to go into town and buy some herbs. She rolled over and without even taking her work clothes off, she fell fast asleep.

The next day Lilith woke before the dawn had time to rise. She walked into town with a basket upon her arm and a jolly skip in her feet. She had braided her blonde hair in one long braid down her back. She sat on the steps of the herb shop to wait for the old lady that ran it. Lilith nibbled on an apple she had brought and watched the small town come to life. Soon the old woman opened the store and Lilith was able to pick out the healing herbs she needed. She also bought a jar of honey to mix in hot tea. Then she walked back to the Inn.

When she arrived, the barmaid had a sour look on her face. She questioned as to where Lilith had been and why she looked so cheerful. Lilith walked up to her room without answering the lady. She placed her basket on the bed and took the jar of honey down with her to the kitchen. She made biscuits and gravy for breakfast. There weren't many customers so she was able to relax and drink hot tea.

Lilith cooked all day and night. She made a range of small cakes to fresh bread and cooked all types of meat. She cooked veggies and pastas. She made every meal special and took care in arranging each plate to look fantastic. That day she made alot of tips and got several compliments on her cooking.

(Off to do homework. :( It's the FIRST day!! *cries*)

Lilith got an order for a chocolate cake and she worked for over an hour on it. She baked the ingredients and placed little flowers out of paper on top. She smiled at her creation and took it to the barmaid. The girl for once smiled at it, but she quickly turned it back to a frown. Sensing that Lilith had seen it, she barked for her to get back to work. Lilith sighed. She was tired of trying to impress people. She went to the back and began to clean up her mess.
