A Lonely Tauren Druid looking for...

[Arralla]

The Sun is almost to hide behind the mountains. The Mistrunner Tribe members are having a nice break after the long journey. Some noice get their attention at the door of the tent. There is nobody but a packet.

(( If someone picks up the packet and opens it, continue reading.
If nobody bothers, this is the end of the story. ))

A Brave opens the packet (perfectly wrapped). Inside there is a funny looking mechanical device. There is also a letter. It sais: "Hello, my good sisters and brothers. I am sending you this letter to ask to be accepted among your Tribe. I met someone from Mistrunner Tribe who told me about the weekly meeting, but I am afraid I will not make it in time. I hope this letter will be enough for a first contact and I hope to have a reply from you. To make the device work, please, press play where it says so once you are inside a dark room. The arrow that you see must point at a white wall. Greetings, Arralla."

(( If the Brave follows the instructions, continue reading.
If nobody bothers, this is the end of the story. ))

Suddlenly some light comes from the device, and the image of a female tauren appears on the wall. Some robotic sound starts coming out of it too:



Arralla looks at the camera. "Now?... What?... Can I start talking now?... oh! Is it recording already?! Ah! eh.... Hi! eh... Hi there, yeah... hmmm So... ehmmm *looks at the camera man* Could we start again? ... No?... Oh, ok, then... *looks at the camera* Yeah...ehm... My name is Arralla, I'm a Tauren... Oh, yeah, right, you can see that already, hehe... ehmm... I'm a Druid, yeah, that's right, I'm a Druid, like my mother was... or is... ehm... well, I don't know anymore... She died... Yeah, yeah, she resurrected, of course, but I think she lost her way back here, because I'm still waiting for her... Well, I was waiting, then I started to look for her because it was dinner time and I was hungry... Then I found something to do, and I had to finish it... Yeah.... I had to... Mum says not to leave anything unfinished... Mum says Spirits don't like unfinished things... I was there and I found something to finish, so I went... *looks at the cameraman* Yeah, yeah, sorry, straight to the point, straight to the point. *looks at the camera* Yeah, ok, ehmm... So, were was I?... Yeah, Druid, that's what I am... and Leatherworker too, yeah... I like the smell of leather, my home tent smelled like that... leather... Mother says Father made it, but I don't really know, never met Father, he went to fight the allies, Mother said he said, but he never came back. I think it's because of the food... Yeah, the food... Mother tries hard, but the food always burns, you know? and nobody likes burned food... Well, I do, I guess I do... But Father did not like it... Yeah, that was the problem, i think... *looks at the camera man* Oh yeah, yeah, sorry sorry, the point...*looks at the camera* Were was I?... Hm... food... no... leather, yeah, that's right... So... Yeah, I skin animals too... I would skin allies if I could, but Mother said it was not a good idea, Mother says they stink, and I don't like smelly things, I have a sensitive nose, you know? Mother says that Spirits gave me that gift, but I don't think is a gift... There is too many people who does not know how to use water, if you know what I mean... And that is not right, Spirits say water is a Mother Earth gift we must use... Yeah, Spirits talk a lot about gifts... *looks at the cameraman*... Yeah, sorry, I did it again, sorry sorry... *looks at the camera*... Ehmm.... Spirits... yeah, that is what I wanted to say... They told me I should find my path, sure they did, the stones talked, I should find my path... That's why I'm here, yeah, that's right, I'm here because I need to find my path... I tried to find it, I promise I did, I still do. I'm trying hard, It is not an easy thing, you know? It is not easy when you are a bit slow, if you know what I mean, Mother says I am, Spirits didn't tell me that, Mother did, but I do know how to work hard, I always get my job done, sure I do, that's why I asked the trees, I asked the stones, I asked everywhere, but I think I got lost, just like Mother did, well, she still does, because she never came back... Well, maybe she did, but I was not there anymore, I had things to do, and so I do now... Yeah, I've got tons of things to finish, I found one once, but then I found more, and now I must finish it all, Spirits like that, yes they do. Maybe they will show me my path then. Yeah, I things that's how it will be, that is what I should do... I just have to finish what must be done... Oh, yeah, that's it! Oh, Great Sun, that is, that is! Thank you very much, it was very helpful, it sure was!... Now I must go, my path is waiting for me, Spirits told me so... Thank you, thank you very much! Now I go... May the Spirits protect you all! Now I must go... Bye-bye!...". Arralla walks away, you can hear she is still talking to herself...


OOC:
Character Name: Arralla
Character Race: Tauren
Character Class: Druid (Feral at the moment)
Character Professions: Skinner, Leatherworker
Character Description: Arralla is a big female druid Tauren born (like any other tauren) somewhere in Mulgore. One day her mum went to pick up some wood to start cooking breakfast, but she didn't return. At dinner, Arralla decided to go and look for her herself. On her way someone ask her for some help. Arralla has a big heart, so she just went to help him making no questions. After that, she found someone else to help, and then some other person... Some people says she is a bit slow, some others that she just got too many Spirits talking to her at the same time... The thing is that she takes her time to get done with her goals, but she always does. So far, the only goal she didn't reach yet is finding mum. She is loyal to her people, whoever they are. She gives her life for whoever needs it (Sun bless the Spirit Healer). And patience is her gift, so that is what she expects from anyone else: patience. Sometimes can be seen talking to herself (some people says she is actually talking to the Spirits), and sometimes gets hard to understand what she says (maybe the speech inside her brain goes faster than her mouth, or is just too slow... or perhaps the Spirits interrupt her so she can't finish a proper sentence...). Arralla thinks there is no bad (but the Allience, because the Spirits told her so) and no good (unless the Spirits say so). At the moment, she just wants to find her destiny, her path (and her mother).
Character Level: 42 at the moment.

(( I would like to join Mistrunner Tribe, I made contact with one of you who told me to go to the meeting this Sunday at 18.00, but because of RL matters, I'm afraid I will not be on. I hope we can make contact any other time instead. Something about myself IRL: I'm a Spanish mum - kids take me afk when playing during the day, is not that I'm impolite when I don't reply - lost somewhere in Germany right now, I love rping and I play in English servers coz most of my friends do, but my English is not that great, so my poor tauren sometimes seems a bit slow... The reason why I want to apply to be part of Mistrunner Tribe is simple: I've been searching on the net, looking for nice rp-guilds, and so far, this one looks the most interesting and I really would like to test what is to be in a race guild. So far I've been in 2 guilds: the first one Victus Silenti, with another 2 friends IRL - more for chatting than for being a guild - and the second one The Sixty Thieves, where I stayed for less than a week because I felt I did not fit in that kind of guild and my poor Arralla is a gentle nice tauren... Well, this is long enough ^^ Waiting for your reply!))

((About the camera....Some people does not believe there is such a think in WoW...

I send a mail to my friend (the cameraman who wants to stay anonymous, "I'm still finishing this project, I don't want annoying ignorants around disturbing my work", he said... Yeah, he seems a bit rude sometimes, he is an old man, sure he is... Time turns your temper I guess... He was kind once, well, he still is kind to me. "Silly big cowhead" he calls me, but I know he does it because he likes me, he always call people by their names, but not me, no, no, never, and Spirits say that is a good thing... Oh, wait, the camera device, sorry..).That is what my friend wrote me back:
"Dear Silly Big Cowhead, I stopped my time of working just to answer your silly request. I have not much time, so I hope whatever your messy brain is up to, worth the time I am wasting here. I must tell you that my invention is not totally finished, as you could noticed, and it takes a good bunch of different items to build this device, so I will just tell you what the main items are:
Gammerita Turtle Camera is the main item needed. Remember I asked you to steal the Robotron Control Unit for me? Well, now you know why. I added some spells on it, of course, such as First Person Camera Spell and Slow Spell. When you activate the Robotron what has been reduced to fit inside the Gammerita Turtle Camera, it cast the spells, so the target slows down, and it can take as many shots as possible. Of course some mana potions are needed, so the silly little thing does not stop. So far I did not find who to make it pause, so silly big cowheads don't waste the mana and the spells with messy speeches... And to be able to watch what Robotron had recorded, you just have to activate Pathaleon's Projector. The sound is reproduced by Robotron itself, and that's the point were I am working right now. So I better stop writing stupid mails, and go back to my work. Remember, do never talk about me, you know how much I hate this creatures out there... I am still wondering why I talk to you... Anyway, work is waiting... You better take a good care of yourself... I might need you to steal a few more stuffs from those disgusting gnomes...".

Well, I hope you, my friends, understand these words.... I might have to read it again, but I think I can understand how this crazy machine works. I could ask for more details too, but I don't think my old good friend will say any other word about this subject... But the Spirits told me that if you really want something, you just have to insist, and I know how to insist, I have the time needed for that, sure I do...

[Aroh]

Aroh presses play. While the picture starts to roll he mutters to himself: "A fine piece of engineering. I would like to talk to the maker of this machine." A slight smile spreads across Aroh's face as he listens to the confused tauren. "She might makea fine Mistrunner."
Once the moving picture ends, Aroh wraps up the camera and hands it to the peon taking care of the Mistrunner campsite. "Here, give this to Chieftain if he comes by."

(( Sounds nice! I talked to you while playing on my alt Larha. You can contact me, Haagen (guild leader), Grail, Bonkhron or any of our alts when you get on line so we can organize a IC interview. We are mostly intrested in your RP skills. Easiest way to find is to ask around in mistrunner chat. I also refer you to our alt list:
mistrunnertribe.proboards102.com/index.cgi?board=whoswho&action=display&thread=148
Hope to see you soon

[The Deserted Grail]

Grail eyed the situation going inside the tent from a safe distance - namely 672 yards away on top of the mountain border. His feelings ascended uncertainly. Should he be delightfully glad that the ominous yet carefully wrapped contraption wasn't booby trapped, blowing Aroh against the side of the tent as a bloody mass of beef and intestines, or furiously angry that the sender of the package was yet another, what definitely appeared to be a, mentally challenged druid using very un-natural methods of communication.

He decided to be both.

"When was the last time I saw a druid use spirits for communication? Nevermind the spirits. When was the last time I have seen a druid use ANY kind of traditional methods in this business?"

Grail slid his hand down his beard a few times, pulling it slowly. But only a few times. The last pull was more of a yank.

"Yes, the last time would be Hrawah and his duck."

Yank.

"A duck."

His mouth distorted to a grimace.

"Druids."


(( Right. It seems you have already been invited into the Tribe. I'm personally a tad bit busy with all sort of RL>WoW nonsense so we may not meet in the game all that often. As you have been told, we have a REGULAR weekly meeting on Sundays at 18.00 game time. Current plans for the next week's meetings can be read from MotD (message of the day) or here from Forums when there's something really special planned (such as the Tribal Tournament held today). There is ALWAYS a meeting on Sunday, so we're hoping you can attend when possible.

Other guild rules can be read here from the forums and from the Guild Info tab in the game. The only things you really need to remember are
1) Our neutral treaty with the Alliance. Don't attack them unless they attack you or act hostile towards you, members of the Horde or an ally of the Horde in some manner.
2) We are quite strict on roleplaying rules. Not in the sense that you'd get booted out from accidentally speaking OOC in /say OR not speaking perfectly understandable English OR not being extremely active at coming and making roleplaying scenes/events, but we do expect you follow the general roleplaying rules to your best of capabilities.

With that, hope to see you later. ))

Hello, my brothers and sisters.

I want to share with all of you the moment I have been accepted among the Mistrunner Tribe, my mum always said that sharing is a good thing... Spirits also think so, yeah they do.... Yeah.... hmmm, where was I?... oh, yeah! Here you have (I asked my "anonymous" friend and his funny inventions to allow this to happen, isn't it amazing? Yeah, sure it is...).

[Arralla]

Hello my sisters and brothers...

I have sad news... I am afraid I am going to leave the Tribe.... Sure is sad... Yeah, it is... I was so happy to find what it looks like a big family for me... But the Spirits have talked again. They said I know now how to find peace inside myself. Yeah, they said I found it here, with all my tauren bothers and sisters... But they said sometime sad, they said I should now continue my way. They said there is no time to waste... Sometimes they like to rush, they push me to do things.... They say I have not much time. I guess they know about time, because they are living for the eternity... Well, they did not tell me that, but I think is obvious.... sure it is.... But they told me to tell my tauren sisters and brothers that I will be always there for them, for any situation. They welcomed me in their tribe with open arms, I must pay it back, they say....
This is not a good-bye, but a see you later... I wish you all find the path.... May the Great Spirits protect you all...

((oh damn. ah well... Hopefully you will manage with the new guild.))
