The I AM thread. (The 4-day rule applies!)

[jesperyang]

So I've created 15 weird characters again.. I promise not to leave behind a trails of bodies again now. (hopefully)


..satisfied. I can't wait to show everybody these two baby I've carved. They really look awesome to me though. I will continue to make more masterpiece, when my artistic motivation hits me.

..sleepcooking and waiting. I told him I can wait for it, but this duration isn't what I have in mind. Me bored of waiting. *sniffles*

..friggin happy! I friggin love this white fluffy stuff! And the clothes made from them! And everything. I love everything to do with this white fluffy stuff!

..planning. Not getting anywhere at the moment, what should I really do. Maybe I should make a few trips to open my eyes to this wide world. Maybe then I can get some inspiration and ideas.

..awesome. I feel awesome too. I'm gonna rip up the mountain roads with this set of wheels. Race ya buddy! But then again, not going to happen anytime yet. Too many people dying here.

..sleepworking. this place, I've gotta get out of here. I can't even believe this old man. He's really pressing the juice outta everyone. Is that how this town got so rich? Can't believe this..

..sparring! Me here miss this guy twice. TWICE! Have'ta poke him next time!

..resting up and chopping wood in a forest. I can't stay in one place too long. -It's- coming closer. I can feel -it's- presence. I just have to go in the direction -they- tell me to. Sezu, bless me.

..working hard. I'm saving up. Well, not sure what I'm saving up for.. But hey, I'll know when I've got enough coins!

..trying to survive, alone. This place is harsh. I've gotta learn how to live life, the harsh way.

..feeling so guilty. Why are they so good to me even after what I've tried to do? That's it, I am going to devoted myself to help them in anyway I can. To make up for what I've done.

..Finally done! Now I just have to figure out what would trade nice and gather it up. BUt then again, I guess I better help him out, who knows I might learn a thing or two about trade while doing so!

..so gratified. She have given me this wonderful opportunity even though I'm still so green. I must not disappoint her. I'll make the best potion world wide! Or at least island-wide..

..stubborn. I'm going to the forest to get wood. He said I can't go! How funny! Well he can't stop me. I'm still going no matter what.

..cold. I'm not even wearing any clothes. This mountain road is longer than I thought it would be. All I have on me is this steel cold knife.. You can't say I stole it. -I- am the one who craft it. Who cares? They all sleep like boars.. Anyway.. I don't think the road ahead is anywhere near. Am I going to die here? No. I must press on, I will live. I -want- to live.

[Snowdrop]

I am... feeding my wooly friend.

I am... petrified. Literally shaking in my moccasins.

I am... not feeling like eating.

I am... feeling a lot safer with her swishing that sword around!

I am... surrounded by visitors, the town has never been this busy! But still no newspawns...

I am... worried that this place has lost it's great atmosphere.

I am... mourning. He was the only one awake for the first couple days after I spawned.

I am... guessing they're at it again. In the kitchen store room. How unhygienic.

[Otherside]

...living a life of piracy and debauchery.
...secretly making a gift to make us both smile.
...wishing giving spawnday presents was always like this.
...locked in a workshop, making more clothes.
...wondering who killed her.
...energised after our town chat, though not a lot has changed. This place needs life but we're all a little dead inside.
...building a bath house.
...finishing decorating the bathroom while she still sleeps.
...leaving it all behind, everything and everyone... Taking some stress out the best way I know.
...trying to comprehend everything... Her, the future, the world, language, science, medicine, music, art... so much beauty... so many questions.
...chopping wood.
...being an animal.

[Mee]

- Finally enjoying my life again! All these new ideas and developments.. And silently chuckling, thinking over my secrets.
- Just travellin with a friend, diggin up the stones as I planned.
- God, I'm so annoyed by this town. We need to kill them.
- Should I feel sad that I'll never see him again? *she shrugs* I never even told him about my crush. My big bear.
- She sees me as her friend, and I'm glad for her.. But I still don't feel the connection. And why is he this sleepy? *she looks worried*
- I really want some private time with him, but with all going on.. patience..
- I wanna get dirty again, take a swim and just lay on the beach.. *she grins*
- Quietly working on my business, crushing and mixing.
- Why is she so mean? I don't understand, but I am terrified, those beasties hurt!
- Still bored *sighs*
- Hmm, I wish I was all alone with him on that beach, where we were years ago and islands away *daydreaming* Seems we never have time for eachother anymore.

[ObsessedWithCats]

I've been playing for 101 days now O_o

I am...

... the furthest from my spawntown I've ever been.
... still far from home, just a few days before I can start heading back though.
... still making sure the animals stay fed.
... about to head home, much sooner than I'd expected when I left

[Melodianme13]

~I learned the hard way that they all say things you want to hear; And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and your twisted words, Your help just hurts. You are not what I thought you were, hello to high and dry... Convinced me to please you, made me think that I need this too. I'm trying to let you hear me as I am.

~Now you are gone, now you are gone. There you go, there you go.
Somewhere I can't bring you back. Now you are gone, now you are gone. There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you're not coming back.

~I've become so numb, I can't feel you there, Become so tired, so much more aware. I'm becoming this, all I want to do, is be more like me and be less like you.

~I've been asleep for a while now. You tuck me in just like a child now, 'cause every time you hold me in your arms, I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth. It starts in my soul, and I lose all control. When you kiss my nose, the feeling shows. 'Cause you make me smile,
baby, just take your time, now holdin' me tight

~Lucky that my lips not only mumble. They spill kisses like a fountain.
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains. Lucky I have strong legs like my mother, to run for cover when I need it. And these two eyes that for no other, the day you leave will cry a river.

~It's not so easy, loving me. It gets so complicated... All the things you've gotta be. Everything's changing but you're the truth. I'm amazed by all your patience. Everything I put you through.

~Look, here she comes now. Bow down and stare in wonder. Oh, how we love you. No flaws when you're pretending. But now I know she... ...never was and never will be.
You don't know how you've betrayed me. And somehow you've got everybody fooled. Without the mask, where will you hide? Can't find yourself lost in your lie.

~So get in the car, we can ride it. Wherever you want, get inside it.
And you want to steer, but I'm shifting gears, I'll take it from here.

~Lately I been, I been losing sleep. Dreaming about the things that we could be. But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard. Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars.
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

~Save tonight... and fight the break of dawn, come tomorrow -tomorrow I'll be gone.

~The shoes on my feet, I've bought it. The clothes I'm wearing, I've bought it. The rock, I'm rockin', 'Cause I depend on me. If I wanted the watch you're wearin', I'll buy it. The house I live in, I've bought it. The car I'm driving, I've bought it. I depend on me.

~Never opened myself this way. Life is ours, we live it our way. All these words I don't just say, and nothing else matters. Trust I seek and I find in you, every day for us something new. Open mind for a different view, and nothing else matters.

~I walk a lonely road. The only one that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone.

~And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on. And you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive. So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong. And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you.

~And I am feeling so small... It was over my head I know nothing at all. And I will stumble and fall. I'm still learning to love, just starting to crawl. Say something, I'm giving up on you. I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you... Anywhere I would've followed you. Say something, I'm giving up on you.

[Snowdrop]

I am... wondering if we'll ever sort the motorcycle out in time, but making plans anyway.

I am... heading back to my spawntown, the roads feel longer this time...

I am... quietly working away, quietly fading away...

I am... staying inside until that creature is gone.

I am... ecstatic! I finally have my first newspawn!

I am... hopeful that this will make him want to take care of himself again.

I am... back to keeping the animals happy.

I am... not sure what to work on now. They've returned and the town is busier again. Damn.

[Optimus Christ]

-About to leave this town, with or without anyone.

-Working my rear end off to keep this business going

-Gathering wood, wondering when she will wake up

-Slowly fading away. But Until I do, I'll work.

-Got a nice little crew together, making food.

-Just got back into town. I see a storm a brewin

-In this city I don't mind being in, but she doesn't want to stay. On the road again.

-Working tirelessly, waiting for her to wake up

-Taking on New responsibilities as a town leader. Would be so much easier if I could talk...

-Gathering wood, trying to come up with a new plan, what is she doing talking to her so much?

[hyrle]

I am
... going to be digging quietly for quite some time, but it will be profitable.
... running a tailoring business with my goddess. I never thought I'd do that... I always thought I would be a woodsman.
... grumbling... what's he doing back here? He's got some nerve!
... trying to repair my reputation, which was damaged by others who I had tried to help. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.
... still in love with my flannel shirt, and the loveliest woman on the whole island!
... listening to this foolish squawkbox while I make fuel.
... sailing to a third island now. I hope we can find someone that wants to trade for our stuff!
... listening to this foolish squawkbox while I make fuel... but an entirely different character.
... making fuel and hearing them making their radio tests. But they can't seem to hear me! It's so frustrating after so many years of nothing from that radio!
... ready to leave this town and continue my exploration... just need to get some help with these boats. I was hoping to find crew, but not this time, I guess.
... thinking we should drop that prisoner off somewhere on Fu. He seems to be fond of saying words that start with those two letters, so maybe that's what he wants!
... saddened because my love rarely wakens and doesn't say much. I miss the days when my flower used to bloom much more.
... so amazed at finding love after all the many wonderful things in my life already. I feel like I'm the luckiest girl in the world!
... wrestling with the thoughts in my head. The songs I hear in my head are so dark and brooding. I feel I must travel to find my inspiration.
... so in love with both of them, but he doesn't wake much anymore. Now I'm afraid to lose one of my loves to the sleeping sickness.

[ColormeGreen]

I am bored. Bored, bored bored. Sad. And some more bored. Is this life worth living? I'm not sad about it if my decision is no...
I am... sad? I spent all those years getting back here, and now he never wakes. I know I spawned for him, but he's making that difficult.
I am quietly working, and occasionally paying or getting paid. I wonder how long it will be until she's fully rigged.
Why woman worry. Worry Whacky with women. Woman worried...
I am confused. I told her no because I thought it was possible with him. But now he's being a coward and I don't want him. Or anybody. If only I could express it.
I am the damned luckiest woman in all of cantr. Even if it's been a bit quiet and I have to lighten up on the bedroom fun.
I am thinking the glass showcases will never happen. But I'm still gathering the things.
I am resigned to sailing back and forth. She took my town. But I won't let anyone know how that makes me feel. She'll sleep eventually.
I am forgetting about him more and more. He didn't want me, or he'd be back by now. Is my dream gone with him?
I am feeling so... so unwanted. She lied to me. I thought I was going to worship her, but she lied to me.... I just want off this island now.
I am..... working? But why? And who are these people? Some days are good... but the quiet ones are bad. At least the written reminder keeps me sane, even if some days I'm not sure who wrote it.
I am no longer in the fells of fake admiration. I think he knows it. My life is meaningless with that bitch and her boy toy on board.
I am questioning everything. I am empty. Will I never see him again? It was all for him, after all, but I screwed things up...
I am just digging on this road. I'm trapped by my possessions and the need to feed myself. What a boring life.
I be likin' his comp'ny. Why do all folk havta sail?

[BeepBeep]

I am...

...sailing away in my coffin, finally at peace.
...putting this town back together and wondering why it was abandoned to begin with.
...wishing people would just bypass my town altogether.
...apparently living in the land of the misfit toys, but really liking it..does that make me the same? I hope so.
...so in love it probably makes others nauseated, but I don't care.
...I can't believe I made it through that alive. I really shouldn't have, and wouldn't have, if they had known.
...tired, but he gives me a reason to live.
...still just wandering and wondering...
...asleep, as usual
...ditto
...ditto
...back home and having fun for the first time since I moved here, but still wondering if I should keep living.
...brand new and having a blast, so far
...a gleam in my players' eye

[Lazarae]

I am...

... content. It's quiet here, but I can make myself useful and the people are kind. I don't know if I plan on staying forever, but for now I will.
... impressed. I think it might work, if we figure out how to do the [redacted]. And I might be more than impressed with him, though I'm probably being stupid. I'm new and barely know him, much less anyone.
... having fun. And the new girl is so cute! I'm new too, but I wonder if I can adopt her as a little sister or something. Maybe we can bring a little friendly mayhem to the town.
... conflicted. There's an itch, an urge to let myself drift, but I spawned in a place that seems to need me. I have time to decide, plenty of it in fact, but it still eats at me.
... [static]
... relieved. I was worried the few people here would be sleepers, and I found notes that were rather... worrying... but so far things seem fine.
... being debated. Potentially another product of my player's poor impulse control.

[destinysWalrus]

...delighted to find that she's not dead after all. But I'm a practical person - time to go back to getting wood for my home.
...preparing to explore and scared to try trading. I don't want their hopes to depend on me.
...finally somewhere I can live without my curse affecting others... I wish I didn't have to do this.
...making dresses, cheerfully. I've got something interesting to do, the urge to explore's faded.
...sleeping/starving to death.
...having trouble finding motivation to stay awake and fed... I love her, but we both seem sleepy...
...in love with him, after a really unorthodox courtship... we are such a weird couple. Hope he's awake soon, I wanna spar.
...sleeping/starving to death.
...almost home, with my load of new stories! I hope it's still home anyway, I've been gone a while.
...impatient, a few roads from home, but that still seems too far. My legs are tired from all this biking.
...feudin' with the ship beasties, wakin' up a wee bit more.
...still injured but doing something useful with myself.
...a newspawn who is very careful with her words, and desires to explore other islands.

[Poldora]

Well coming back to Cantr has been (and still is) difficult, here's roughly what's going on:

-Working for a blushing man, who's sweet at times and harsh at others.
-Survived nearly dying, I had one hour left of life and just made it.
-Waiting to die
-Forgiving him, even though I should have said no and shoved him away. Wondering where my friend went?
-Watching him fuss over someone else and wondering why I'm not saying anything.
-Working, deciding whether or not to die, this existence is invisible at the best of times.
-Slowly starving to death
-Back home, in my favourite and only profession, wondering if anyone will ever notice me.
-Waiting to die.
-Working away silently for coins to hightail my ass out of here.
-Thinking of ways to steal him away, and to find everything I want.
-Waiting to die.
-Waiting to die.
-Working for probably nothing but hope of leaving.

[Lazarae]

I am...

... becoming established. This place is a little sleepy though. I wish I were better with people- kind as they are I don't really know any of them and I don't really know how to change that.
... glad that I have something to do, and something I'm good at no less!
... busy busy! Though it looks like I might be out of things to do in a few days unless someone finds more work for me.
... even less certain than I was before. I've learned something about myself I'm not sure how to handle, something I don't want others to see. And even though I have work to keep me busy the world outside is calling me.
... so, so lost even though I haven't gone anywhere. I don't know what to do. It's all so confusing, pressing at me from all sides, and even though I got away from the source the nearness of it still pounds against my head.
... determined to survive. I hope they don't feel too guilty. It'll take some doing, but I can make it if I try. I'm strong. And if I can survive this, then the rest of the world doesn't seem so bad.
... focused on my work, though the hunger is nagging at me. I should have asked for food, but I'm hesitant to take anything I can't repay, especially from here. I need a shield as well, but resources for that are scarce as well. Oh well, I'll worry about that after I have pants.
... arrogant, not stupid. I can tell they're suspicious of me, and I hear more than they think. It doesn't matter though; I'll be gone as soon as I have something to keep me safe on the road. However long that takes.
... not really sure what I'm doing. It seems sleepy here, and I'm not sure if I'm even needed here. At least in the capacity I want to be... if I'm any good at it.
... trying to exist, except my playing is a silly doot who's reached her character cap for the time being.
