    Default Tales of Solitary Insanity: Treachery Amongst the Tumbleweeds

    Originally started in: http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=122586

    My current tumbleweed subjects aren't too bad. Sure, they're pretty lazy and not very social, but they're very loyal and never complain about my leadership. Unless, of course, they're displaying upstanding behaviour in public because they're planning an uprising behind the scenes. They tend to whimsically tumble from place to place as if changing their minds as often as the wind changes direction. I thought they all just have ADD or something, but maybe they're communicating amongst themselves with secret gestures or something. Suspicious behaviour indeed if one thinks about it.

    I need to begin monitoring them. I will not tolerate mutiny.

    I've taken some of my tumbleweed subjects into custody for interrogation.

    There does seem to be something going on. No matter how much I tried to pry into what they knew, whether through gentle coaxing or even threats or torture, none of them would say a thing. Nor even scream, or make any sort of other reaction. They'd just stare at me with their beady little burs (I'm very confident they use these to see with) silently and emotionlessly.

    But I see through their stonewalled resilience. They're Tercio sympathizers! Blasphemy! I have provided them shelter from this swelling empire, and they have turned against me! No matter. I will show them.

    I have executed the offending tumbleweeds by torch, publicly, to show my subjects I will not tolerate treachery. To my surprise, none of them reacted to their brethren's ends. They actually acted oblivious to it, nonchalantly continuing their moseying from place to place without any discernible direction or destination.

    I have tried to consult with my under-officers, but they express similar behaviour. It seems they too have sided with the conspirators against me.

    More drastic action will need to be taken. I will not be usurped from my throne again!

    Tonight is silent. Or it would be, were there not subtle chirpings in the distance. I'm told these are crickets, but I'm quite certain it's the tumbleweeds, conveying secret communications. I will attempt to decipher these, but lately I've already invested my concentration on trying to make sense of their seemingly nonsensical movements in town.

    I've decided their movements actually make the shape of letters, likely the phrases they pass from one to another. After studying one specimen carefully, I have deciphered the following word: sjlurlmn.

    I'm not sure what it means. I'm suspecting it's yet another coded phrase. I'm beginning to appreciate the craftiness of my subjects.

    Before I could contemplate this further, I received word from a scout that someone approaches the city. I ordered the guards to lower the gates of the city walls. They told me we have no gates on the walls. I asked them how we're supposed to keep invaders out of the city with no gates. They told me the farms built directly in front of the entrance of the city act as obstacles for organized forces (this includes our own armies and even merchant traders, I've learned). I asked what we have to protect the farmers in the way of any invading armies. They shrugged.

    Exasperated, I dismissed the guards and went to meet this stranger. I kept a safe distance from him, lest he be an assassin. Because of this distance, and the darkness of the night, I could not identify him.

    "Who are you?" I shouted to the stranger.

    "Guess who!" He responded.

    I was slightly annoyed at this cryptic response, but replied nonetheless. "Guan Xing?" I asked, assuming perhaps it was my former colleague, who I have heard is still active in the lands.

    "What?" The figure replied, sounding confused.

    "Are you Guan Xing?" I asked again.

    "No!" Came the reply.

    "Then who are you?" I asked again.

    "Guess who!" The figure responded again. I knitted my brows in frustration.

    "Artifact?" I shouted, figuring perhaps it was the oldest of my colleagues still rumoured to be around.

    "Huh??" Came an incredulous sounding response.

    "Are you Artifact?" I asked again.

    "No!" Came an almost annoyed sounding response. Peculiar, considering he keeps asking me to guess who he is.

    "Then who are you?" I asked a third time, my patience beginning to wear thin.

    "Guess who!" Came the response again, sounding almost as exasperated as I.

    "Pah, I have no time for these games!" I shouted, and began to walk away. The figure attempted to shout out to me again. I could make out "...is my name...", but the rest was lost to the winds as I put more distance between us.

    As the unknown figure left the premises of the city, my scouts tell me he wore the insignia of Virulent on his armours.

    It seems my tumbleweed people not only have some sort of connection to Tercio, but they also have dealings with Virulent. My suspicions that this was an assassin sent to infiltrate the city have only been confirmed. The complexity of this plot against me seems to only thicken. This may be a challenge to uncover yet.

    As I looked over my city from the castle balcony, I heard chirps no longer. The tumbleweeds have surely realized something has gone amiss this night. Perhaps they've discovered that I am onto their ruse. They may attempt even more wily methods of communication and mutiny now.

    I will need to sleep with a knife beneath my pillow this night, it seems.

    So everyone reading this is aware, I moved this little story from the original thread as to not derail it or attempt two simultaneous topics in one thread.

    I have more ideas for the story, which I was going to add tonight, but due to some RL events recently they might be postponed for a little time.

    I feel creative so im going to add... Cont:

    As night approached, the people of Gelledwar prepared an army to invade one of their neighboring countries Tumbleweeds. Tensions were intensifying in the captains courters when he learned that the people of Tumbleweeds had made a possible alliance between themselves and a city whos leader goes by the name of Guess Who,

    In my attempts to get information on the enemy, I sent some of my most trusted scouts to guess whos city, 'if anyone can get the job done its them' but in the futile attempt they were far out numbered, it had seemed that my concerns had been brought to life, It was indeed a fact that Tumbleweeds and this mysterious Guess who had teamed up.

    *ring ring* goes the phone

    As I picked up the phone i heard a voice, Screechy yet soft 'Only one person has that kind of voice' it was the leader of the treacherous tumbleweeds city Alusair!

    What came next was quite a shock

    "Yo Gelledwar You modedit: modedit: You are screwed.

    *Beep beep beep*

    As alusair hung up the phone the whole of Gelledwars attention turned to a loud Noise, like a siren yet far louder then anything i have ever heard, then the ground started to shake,

    Indeed it was that the likings of Alusair and Guess who bound together to try and colonize my city, as the enemy approached the city of Gelledwar we went into lockdown and KICKED ALUSAIR AND GUESS WHOS A$$ Haha.
