Hey all,

Kyro here. I'm entering my manic phase. Which is good, because, well ... I have a lot to do and I am going to make an attempt on NaNoWriMo and I'm going to try to generate some momentum in my creativity. This picture here as a very poorly drawn sample of the team pictures/team trading cards of one of the Crimson Dervish players ... oh, yeah, that's at http://www.shye.org/index.php?title.....rimson_Dervish for those of you who are totally lost.

So, what I want to do is the following, for those of you who are Crimson Dervish members: You are going to be interviewed on a Jalmas Media Talkshow and asked questions about the team and the players and all that. Do not worry about not knowing the universe, for those of you who do not know it, I will be push-polling you questions. This can be done either via IM or Email. When it is done, I'll take what we make and turn it into a story.

At least, this was the first plan, the first step towards sanity.

I even went to Maine, went to my nice little out of the way workshop to try to get this going, and got seriously pumped. But something in the back of my head told me ... "Do not go to Maine, seriously, it's bad ...." But I was taking someone with me who needed the ride, and meeting with people who wanted their stuff back from Furfright that they left accidentally in the room.

To wit: The Universe told me not to come to Maine this weekend. I disobeyed. And now it's punishing me.

I ran over an animal. My stress is higher. I haven't got anything done despite my manic position. I'm getting no play or doing anything fun and I don't think I could have any even if I want to. My mind is racing and is shuffling things so fast it's hard to do anything. My best friend of over 30 years tried to kill himself. And I'm no where near anyone and I really want to break down and cry. Or go outside, run into the fields, and disappear forever.

But this manic feeling won't last forever ... so, I am going to push forward with this...

Not a member of Crimson Dervish? No problem. I may be able to help you create a Shye style character that lives in Jalmas and does some fun job. And in the meantime, I'm gonna try to draw things, write things, and just talk to people.

But please, because things are so very erratic ... please list this whole project as Vaporware.

And sorry for the crappy picture. I'll upload a real one to compensate that will merely burn your eyes rather than slam them with a sledge hammer.
