... or one like Eol, either, for that matter.

Okay, so it’s official; 2013 has definitely not been the Year of Eol! The entire year, up to this point, seems like it’s been a refresher course on Murphy’s Law… or out of the frying pan, into the fire… or something along those lines, anyway. Whichever way you want to look at it, it’s been one trying year for yours truly – hell, the universe even tried to kill me over the summer and I spent the better part of the end of June in a coma – and, of course, all of it took a major toll on my creativity and, related to that, my time here with all you loverly Innmates…

I’ve really started to feel that loss, recently, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, and I write this with great hope, it’s probably a good thing because, feeling that emptiness, I’m also feeling compelled to create something in order to start filling that void, you know? So, in turn, that means that my mind has decided it’s got enough bandwidth back to dedicate to such endeavors and, when I start wandering that path of creativity, I always end up back here at the good old Red Dragon Inn!

Thank the powers that be, right?

Anyhoo… let’s call this the official announcement (or should that be warning?) that Eol has returned to the Inn and is likely to be stirring up some trouble in a thread near you very soon. Not sure what the exact nature of that trouble might be just yet but I get the feeling that I’m gonna lllllllliiiiiiiiikkkkkkeeeee it!

*facelick*

Always good to have you back. Try to stay back this time!

*Pounce, facelick*

And everywhere that Eol goes, Eol goes, Eol goes
Everywhere that Eol goes
His Meri's sure to go.

Ah excuse me, do I know you? I hate to seem pushy but you look really familiar, have we met before?.............

Welcome back Brother I and I'm sure a lot of the other Innmates have missed you desperately. Do me a favor, and this is a biggie. If you never do me another favor as long as we live, then do just this one..... Stay healthy, stay alive, and this time stay here with us. Ok ok that's 3 but who's counting

Welcome home Eol, welcome home.

EOL!!! *huggles and cuddles and facelicks* I missed you so much! The inn just isn't the same without you! Welcome back hun!

Thanks all! I've missed you, too! It's definitely good to be back and in the mood to get squirrely again. The plan, most assuredly, is to stick around permanent-like this time and, yes, stay healthy and upright for the duration.

Now, as I said earlier, I'm not entirely sure exactly what I'm going to do or where I'm going to start with this whole creativity resurrection but I've got a few ideas and some of those are jumping out in front of the others, right now. For example, I keep coming back to Nyx... finding myself wanting to slip into his skin and prowl Drasnia a bit... pull some more tales from that fetid well... and I begin recalling an idea I had for a psuedo-free-form thread I was tentatively going to call 'Drasnian Nights.' Still may start there... just some open free-writing kind of stuff based in the sprawl of the Crown Jewel of the Empire... but who knows? I've started scribbling down several possible posts in different veins... maybe we'll just see which one comes out the best first, eh?

This place is so much poorer without you, man. So glad to see you back!

...Momma?

My first friend has returned.
That gives me a smiley face all over my body.

Egor... Break out a barrel of "Good Old Froth-N-Slosh" time for a gathering... one that seemed lost has returned.

"Welcome Home Friend!"

Perhaps this is the spark to relight the Inn's fire?

*evaporates*

Sorry to hear about your year, but it's great to see you back!

I am so glad you are back here with us all. Sorry to hear of your problems compounding you problems.

On another note, besides hiding the womwn we need to order more towles for any newbies.

Great to see you back here at home.

Thank God for Answering Prayers!

*EDIT:* How Fitting for My 2900th Posting!

It's good to see you back! It's been quiet without you here..

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooooooooooooolalalalalalalaaaaaaa!

*whoops*

Glad to hear you're sounding healthy, and even vertical, too! It's been far too quiet without the pouncing and the towel pile has been positively forlorn since we stopped having to refill it daily.
