I agree Michael, it sucks that there is no "like" button...and I think you might be on to something! I bet the Spire Minions are indeed behind this somehow.
I just want it to be known that I did not cast a toe fungus spell on our dear Ebonknight01, just a sleep spell. Maybe if he changed his socks more than once a year his toes would not itch so much.Week 13: Childe XLWizard to the Spire of Eternity Came and beguiled it into bewilderment! Here is my RL interview with this Spire Master conducted entirely by mental telepathy, which was hard on XL because he said all he got from my end was static.
(I walk in 3 or 4 days late - but who's counting right - and see XL stepping out of a wall! He really is a wizard! Also, faintly, from somewhere I hear the theme song to "Cheers", you know..."You want to go where everybody knows your name...dum dum dum dah...and their always glad you came...dum dum dum dah (blah blah blah)" ANYWAYS - Love that Song!! XL looks at me glumly, "So, whoever you are, you actually came...". He sighs deeply. He also seems to be holding a freshly drawn mug of ale.
Q1: How did you make it up the Spire so fast?
A1: I am a wizard, dolt. Nuff said. Let's hurry I have a party...err...a meeting to get back to. (He glances over his shoulder at the wall)
Q2: What was the hardest part in ascending?
A2: I like Ale. Ale likes me. (He takes a pull) Sometimes, as I am making my way up the Spire, I need to take a bathroom break and there are NO stinking bathrooms in the Spire! That causes a "Look out Below" kind of experience for anyone milling around at the bottom or under any window. (I wonder if anyone ever gets angry about that) Pfft, if they did, they wouldn't dare do anything, my Toe Fungus spell is legendary! (I nod, wait, how did he know I was thinking that?) Because we are communicating through telepathy, remember? (Oh, right) He sighs again and says morosely...blue, three, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and your dog is named Charley. Why are you testing me now? We are halfway done with the interview already! (Oh, right)
A3: One thing you would change?
Q3: (He shifts nervously) Oh, I would love to build a secret tavern up here, you know, where you could drink, sing, dance, hang out with your FS...things like that. (He notices he has an Ale in his hand at this point and hides it behind his back. I realize then that no other M.E. seem to be around. Curious.)
A4: Whose the...
Q4: (A cleverly hidden door opens behind him and Rainbow sticks her head out) Hey XL, let's do some shots!" She sees me suddenly and with an "EEP!" ducks her head back in. I look at XL, he just shrugs and waves his hand in front of my face. I get so SO sleepy and my toes start to itch something fierce!

OK, that's mostly SO not true. I DO wear the same pair of socks each year, yes, BUT (and this is key) I turn them inside out at six months...so BOOM! Cleanliness is king with me, let it be known. Also, it's not like I never stand in a puddle or something, they get washed naturally sometimes...so DOUBLE BOOM! Take that, Mr. XLWizard with your flashy sleep spells! I am still annoyed at not being let into your super secret stupid bar. I am surprised you didn't go all Gandalf on me and shout "Thou Shall Not Pass!" while defending your territory... geez. By the way, you got a liquor license up there? Hmm?I just want it to be known that I did not cast a toe fungus spell on our dear Ebonknight01, just a sleep spell.

OK, ok, I'll give you the secret password to gain access the secret Tavern atop the Spire. But you've got to change those socks !!!!!!!OK, that's mostly SO not true.

All hail the Queen of Chocolate and cake. LisaMV will you marry me (oops, no wait....never mind).Week 20: Childe LisaMV to the Spire of Eternity Came and was welcomed up with much fanfare and tons of cake (literally)! Following is my RL interview with this Spire Master conducted entirely by Bullhorn because of the HUGE party at the top. All of the Spire ghosts as well as the three level bosses are there. The Frog is hanging out with Zoof's pet alligator and neither one is trying to kill each other even! What gives? As a side note, my ears are still ringing from the bullhorns, and it was a little unnerving that everyone in the room heard our conversation - in its entirety. The ghosts all approved of everything that Lisa said (of course), but often just booed at me.
Lisa sits on a throne, her elven magic makes her look in her early 30s, but I have it on good authority she was actually born in 1808. I notice a stair master behind her - like she doesn't get enough stairs in by climbing the Spire every week? (I was later informed that she is actually CARRIED up the Spire stairs by hosts of ghosts weekly! Figures. I was also told that there is a lottery system to see which lucky ghosts get the honor of carrying her up. Figures again. She is also the Founder & President of P.E.T.G.*)
Lisa puts down a plate of fruit and (lots) of chocolate to yell at me through the bullhorn as our interview begins. I notice that she seems to really enjoy yelling at me.
Q1: How did you make it up here so fast?
A1: (She just gestures around at all her subjects and screams) Really?
Q2: What was the hardest part?
A2: (She just gestures around her again with a wink, as a plate of cake is deposited in front of her by that one ghost who always says, "Don't touch this chest, it is mine to guard!" (Guarding it for Lisa it seems! I notice that she has her feet casually propped up on it as a FOOTREST!)
Q3: What would you change?
A3: Nothing! All these ghosts are my best friends and I look forward to seeing them every week. Wait! No! We should actually have Spire THREE times a week so I could grace all of my subjects with my presence THREE times as much! (The assembled ghosts applaud wildly, and even though I don't respond several boo at me anyways. Wow.)
Q4: Who is your favorite ghost?
A4: (The room suddenly gets quiet as every ghost waits - breathlessly - for her answer. I am hoping to trip her up a little, maybe cause a little friction, but she is WAY too smart for me. She smiles widely at my clumsy attempt.) ALL of them are my favorites of course! (Bedlam resumes as the party REALLY kicks off) I eat a bite of cake and smile...got to hand it to her, she knows how to throw a party!
* = People for the Ethical Treatment of Ghosts (where have you been? I need to explain this again?)

The next episode is "special" and titled: "Supplemental Interview: Dumbo Boy Ebonknight01 to the Spire of Eternity Came (when he shouldn't have)" which will be posted in a week. Basically, my FS agreed we would hold off on doing Spire until the Adventure popped. I knew this. I agreed to it. Spire popped and I was up and bragging about it 20 minutes later. There was complete silence in chat, until LisaMV kindly reminded me that I did the exact opposite of what I was supposed to. She "suggested" I interview myself again as penance because she knows how much I hate...myself. Anyways, the interview was disastrous of course, worse that the first time even, I really can't stand that smug stupid fat stupid face in the mirror. How does my wife survive? You can check it out next week.
As always, thanks for reading!
