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

[GoldenApple]

I am......

-- Going the distance on this journey and having a blast with my lone companion.
-- Confused and hurt. Will someone truly ever care about me?
-- Building my first vehicle, can't wait to give it a try!
-- Working.. sleepily. Not sure what to do with myself here sometimes.
-- Just here...
-- Working my butt off but enjoying every moment in this home away from home. Good people, great place.
-- Sailing away, gosh, when will we ever make it back home?
-- In a new place with a new beginning.. left my past behind for now.
-- Taking a short trip?
-- Waiting to leave this place already. I'm getting antsy waiting.
-- Living a quiet, happy life and I'll be the town guard.. cool! Hopefully no one decides to cause trouble.
-- Working, working, working. Geeze, I think that's all I've done since I spawned. Well with the occasional brawl.
-- A student. Hopefully I can contribute where needed.
-- Zooming around to a far off place to get resources. I don't even mind if it'll be a few years, it's good to be useful.
-- Doe-eyed and curious. I wonder what my future holds here in this quiet town.

[Snowdrop]

I am... really, really missing home...

I am... worried that she's not come back yet...

I am... still alive, still working.

I am... making business plans in my head. We'd make a great team.

I am... burying too many lately...I don't like this part

I am... wondering what will come of his apology.

I am... hunting ellies.

I am... not sure what to do next...

[*Wiro]

As a player I somewhat regret that none of my characters are held back in any way because of their looks. Most of them aren't pretty, though not monstrously so. There's subtle details hidden in all of them, and I really appreciate the few players that pick up on them.

...desperately covering myself up, wishing for a miracle cure, quietly. My hard work pays off.
...one, two, three. So hot, so busy.
...haunted, though in no position to be weak. At least I have my health.
...wondering whether to do the right thing for me, or the "right thing". Glad this sign appeared in front of me. My path is clear, despite this fork in the road.

Also lost a character a few days ago. I enjoyed reading the logs leading up to her death. I'm glad I kept this one around long enough to be killed, rather than get lost in the noise of a boring town. I don't think I could've played her any further, so this was a good and clean end to a pretty cool story.

[hyrle]

I am
... Chopping wood and hanging out in my second-home for a bit.
... Glad to have a radio in my shop. Now I know what's going on outside my quiet little world.
... Not sure I could get used to this noisy town. Good thing we're just visiting!
... Working hard to properly equip my new crew members. I've never taken this many with me before.
... Sad that my love has to sleep, but she did warn me she needed a long nap.
... Engaged to the most wonderful woman ever! I love her so much. I wish she could see my smile.
... Glad to see our home island. This means we'll finally be home soon!
... A very, very lucky man.
... Making a big fat haystack so we can nom-nom tasty goats. This town gets more awesome every day.
... Back on the water... so glad to be back to my sailing life.
... Worried about my daughter. I hope she's okay... she should have checked in at home by now.
... Watching these two play with the mud.
... Taking her home to get her things so she can move on with the next phase of her life.
... A metal god! Or something like that.
... Worried about her. Her mental health don't seem quite right... it's such a shame that I don't know how to fix her pain.

[Otherside]

...outmatched, outwitted, out of breath, out of options? Never... Try some of this.
...going the opposite direction to her, forgot to pack my lunch though.
...spooning, forking, sleeping, talking.. where for art thou?
...training my new pet.
...making up for lost time, then getting this place back on track.
...awoken, and back in the van.
...kissing her beautiful mind, enjoying pleasures that others never see.
...breaking hearts without trying, jealous glances are flying.

[kicking jay]

<< I just glanced at the first page of this thread. It's interesting how the type of content has changed. I'll do two of these, one in the old style, and one in the new. >>

I am a bored farmer who is playing with crows while he waiting for his crew to pull out.
I am a hunted wanderer who is finally making her way and finding friends.
I am a ex-prisoner of a kind town who is working for restitution.
I am depressed, but nobody will see it. I want a drink.
I am dying away from the home I've never left, a crazed person who forgot what world she lived in.
I am one of the leaders of a town which may see life, who is wondering if she should knock down the sleeping leader.
I am a cheerful wanderer who threw away his money and hit the road without a map.
I am a dying man, but one who will fill this town with iron before he goes under the red dirt.
I am a quiet traveler searching for a home; a hungry one, but who can't bring herself to kill anything.
I am dead, killed before he could wake.
I am dead, killed by a cruel town before he was five days old.


I am...
...really really bored. Nobody will say anything, and barely anybody recognizes me here, although I built this road. Ah, what the heck. We'll leave this blasted island soon enough, and who can stay angry when there's birds around?
...resigned to the fact that although I want to leave as quickly as possible, a ship does not mean we can go. This island has hated me, but I don't hate it back - I just want to go, and a soul who feels the same way is a kindred one to me.
...sleeping, working, and waiting for the day I can find my way to a place I can rule. I say it's home, and they believe me. Of course, if they ever find out I was lying, I'll be there. I just need to keep my story straight.
...more sad than angry, but anger's easier to show. I'm sure I let her die, and she was one of the few people I felt actually cared. I'm so goddamn furious, but it's only at myself. Nobody seems to care, or it doesn't feel that way, since nobody will actually wake. I'm starting to hate this town, although I've built my whole life in it.
...going to kill every last one of them for what they did, if I ever find them. I'm so lost and confused, and the wind bites my skin.
...excited and busy. This town is coming to life, and my dream of traders basing their operations here may just happen. We'll have lots of work if this is to happen, though, and we're severely understaffed. I can always rely on myself, though.
...getting antsy again. Good to have a needle in my hand, however. Better spend all I can before I go, though - wouldn't want to have money in my pocket I'll never use. I'm wondering if I'll ever find her again, and if she'll even care.
...dying and digging.
...scared, lonely, and hungry. I like the quiet, but I miss people to listen to.
...dead, because the town I trusted was lead by a crazy. I would have lived if she'd waited a day longer, but I have no clue what I would have done with what they told me before they killed me. It doesn't matter anymore, my head's missing from my body, and I'm probably six feet under by now.
...dead for an empty crate and an armful of fur, picked from a town with three times more buildings than people. Justice sure does improve the lives of those it serves!

[Genie]

I am feeling lucky,I am living with the most wonderful people. I'm also still counting on that vow,none knows.
I am having a good time here, but why is she trying to push me to him? I am not ready .
I am feeling disturbed, I had enough of this town and his sleepiness.
I am angry to myself,why I notice things much later? I will find my way out!
I am discovering myself in my new but also old life,is our secret safe?.
I am happy and fine out of some whispers in my head,wish I could cut our bonds but not possible.
I am waiting for her patiently,life is boring.
I am happy for this place has food.
I am wondering ...What will my life become?
I am working to get a better ship.
I am sailing away...
I think I will make a short travel soon.
I know I like myself so much,I can't help it .

[Finchington]

I am...

... So happy! Off we go to trade!
... Worried. Perpetually worried about everything.
... Confused, hurt, regretting everything. I hope this works out.
... Absolutely crazy about him! How did I manage to find someone so perfect? I'd follow him to the ends of the earth. I'm his, and he's mine, forever.
... Crushed. Absolutely crushed. I thought he was my friend.
... Pleased with my work so far, still super stressed. Newspawns need to wake up though, little turds.
... On an adventure with new people. Glad to be rid of her.
... Lonely. Hungry. I miss her.
... In love, but I feel guilty. They are the one, I know it. Why do I always do this?

[ObsessedWithCats]

A first-page kind of style one

I am...

... a compulsive wanderer, an occasional trader, an introvert, somewhat pretentious, trapped on this island by a threat on the sea
... an optimist, a defeater of bears and wolves, a survivor of nearly eight years in the wilderness alone
... not one for talking, a shepherd of sorts, always waiting for people to wake up or come home
... an odd-jobs person, afraid of a dreamed-of demon* that makes people sleep to their deaths, naive, a different kind of broken

*the character doesn't know or use the word demon, but that's the best word I have for it

[Melodianme13]

I am...

~So glad I don't have to choose between them now. I'm much happier now.
~Loving the stuffed animal he made me. He is my amazing Mountain Man.
~He is trying to play Match Maker, But I think I prefer the match maker over who he is setting me up with.
~I know he cares about me, but I wish there was more.
~Finding solace in a new friend who has taken me under his wing.
~So amazingly infatuated by him! How could I be so lucky to have him?
~Working by his side.
~Dying with him in this large bed. There just wasn't much attraction.
~Rolling around with him on a pile of cotton. Who said old dogs can't learn new tricks?
~Spending alone time with her in the Hold. I'm not sure I can keep up with her insatiable hunger.
~I'm new to these feelings but grateful for them all the same. I hope I can make him as happy as he makes me.
~Happy to get on with things, having her by my side is simply a bonus I happened to luck into. My goal now is to keep her happy.
~I'm liking the warmth of his arms around me much more than I should...
~Poison seems like a great way to go. I hope I don't starve first...

[Snowdrop]

I am... cuddling on the beach ^_^

I am... happy now I know she's safe, I'm glad I went looking.

I am... nearly done with all the projects I set up...what to work on next?

I am... bored of building.

I am... worried he's fallen asleep big time

I am... fed up of the store room being used for that. Time for pranks...

I am... finally able to access stuff.

I am... intending to teach that girl some manners one day...
