Diabolical Rhapsody

Nice to meet you Mal, despite the circumstances. For the sake of trying to avoid confusion, if you see people talking to a 'Joker' person who doesn't seem to exist, it's me. :3

Yeah, X was nice enough to clear that confusion earlier. Nice to meet you.

- Mal. (Sorry for the wrong login. DR's login is auto saved on the system.)

I think this is the right place to make this announcement since almost everyone he loved frequents here. A special shout-out to Naifu, X & Maia.

I wish to announce that the member that was the original owner of this Handle has passed on. He suffered a burst vein and collapsed in his study. Was rushed to the hospital but was declared 'brought dead', the reason being brain hemorrhage. I apologize for any unsettled feuds he may have had and am thankful for all the love he has received from this forum that led to his emotional healing.

Thanks Everyone!!

P.S: I request the mod for this section to lock his RP "Edge of Destiny".

I'm thankful at least a family member of his were kind enough to speak through his account to let us know what happened. It would've been even more terrible had he just disappeared all of a sudden, never to be seen again, without knowing anything. But Ugh, I agree, RPing just wouldn't be the same without him. It's always been Me, DR, Joker, Naifu, Fay and various others in practically every RP. His mark was everywhere in the RP forum. It was fun RPing with his characters. =(

He very much became the heart and soul of this little part of Batoto, pushing us all to write better and dream bigger. And above all, I think he just wanted us all to have fun doing what we love.

Thanks for the love, if I could ask a favor. Do you guys know the member with the Handle name Naifu? I couldn't find him here. If you could, please inform him about DR. He was very fond of his skill and often talked about it. He was also planning a surprise visit in the Caribbean to possibly meet up with him in January, so I feel he should know of this all. He said Naifu was his best friend on these forums along with X. I'm sure I have found one of the two.

Also, Faye, Captain, Joker, Maia & Ita - I have heard about these members as well.

My skills in poetry are elementary, I just have a penchant for rhyming and thus like to spit my mind out in rhymes. It was hard for me to grasp the metaphors that Emerald listed as his inspiration, maybe because I'm a non-native speaker and not aware of the usual lingo. Neither am I much acquainted to writers like Naifu. I just like Rudyard Kipling's and Henley's Invictus thus sometimes my pieces have that sense of narcissism or stoicism in them.

As for the next challenge, give me a few days. i'll think of something interesting.

@Naifu: According to the new update, that is too big a difference in size =O

Even if we go by the image you shared, A group of barely armed men won't try to take down an Amur Tiger. But that's what keeps this a fantasy, I think.
