It's Raining Tisto

A Call To Action

Tisto sat at the edge of the Akux Sea, the heat from the geothermally heated lake rising up. His clothing was slightly different, wearing a fur lined leather brown jacket, instead of his regular black one. Behind him was his swoop bike, one he managed to liberate from Florum and paint while he was building a new one. Beyond that was tundra, something Tisto had been enjoying flying across on his swoop.

“So much to do,” he said looking into the water. “With Edgar and Arcia the way they are it's almost like I am forced to be the bridge. Back in the gang this would have never happened.” Tisto sighed before hearing the familiar hum of a swoop engine. He looked behind him to see Bell’s swoop, the only other thing the pair had pulled from Florrum. He could recognize it on sight from the paint job, a neon green mixed with black stripes. He smiled as it stopped and slid from its own momentum.

Bell hopped off as it slid, landing gracefully by Tisto. The two were an odd pair, nearly the same height, yet other than that were very different. Where Tisto wore dark colors, and had his weapons visible, Bell wore an off white jacket and light blue pants and had her blaster pistol hidden away.

“Revak, Darro, and Suur” Bell sighed. “Revak said the mine needed an official Fort KICKASS.”

“Is it made from boxes?” Tisto asked with a smile.

“Yes, yes it is.”

“Good, they did it right.”

What is our next step?

So as you are probably wondering, what did Tisto do with Bloodlines? Well that is complicated. Bloodlines will happen, it will just be a very different story than planed. As a result, disregard everything you think you know about it. It will be my project while the Clan Comp is going on and I hope I can roll it out soon after its done.

Bloodlines will consist of a run-on, a puzzle, a flash game, and a cluster race. Participation isn't mandatory for the Knights but is highly recommended. It will be the first time we are truly a team working together. I hope you guys enjoy what I come up with.

Finally, I am changing my report schedule. After listening to some solid advice I have decided to do a bi weekly report starting the 10th of August. This will mean more fictions and updates since you guys seem to love that stuff. This will not only be good for you guys, but since school for me starts August 31st, because the school system wants everyone to ignore my birthday, it will give me time to settle into school before having to write a report in September.

A Clan Challenge

As you all know by now we are in the middle of a clan event, Homecoming. For those of you who have been living under a rock, check it out. There is an amazing storyline, and a great chance to work on our new system.

Everyone is doing it

Yes, yes I know it may be weird but Tisto wants to be cool to, so I am testing out #AskTheSwoopSavant. What could possibly go wrong?

Nero asks: With the new planet, any ideas you have for the location/design on the new KoA base of operations?

Points to the Akux sea and the continent known as the broken lands who do you think came up with those. Honestly those are the two places I have a few ideas … not saying underwater base, but underwater base.

Atty asks: what's something or someone your character can't live without?

A tie. It's between his best friend and current companion, an npc named Bell who saved his life twice during the Plagueis Odan-Urr feud, and his swoop bike. If it were for either of the two he would actually be dead. However, he trusts Bell to be able to do her own thing so I am going to have to say Swoop bike.

Atty again: what's your favorite thing about the db?

It's a tie. Between the people and the ability to write freely. You guys have been amazingly supportive and I can't thank you enough. I also have to thank the combat master and the voice for their work on the acc and fictional set ups that really allow me to write to my fullest and allow me to learn more about good writing.

Edgar Asks: Will there be another BT Runon comp after the clan event, I truly enjoyed the last one. Oh and Can Edgar join in this time :)

The day a KoA event doesn't have a run on is a day to fear. As stated Bloodlines will have a run on, and it will be awesome. As for Edgar joining, it's possible but keep it logical.
