Hit 'Em Up Style
Written by D Austin
While he was schemin'
I was beamin' in the Beemer, just beamin'
Can't believe that I caught my man cheatin'
So I found another way to make him pay for it all
So I went
To Neiman-Marcus on a shopping spree
And on the way I grabbed Sole and Mia
And as the cash box rang I thought everything away
(Oops)
There goes the dreams we used to say
(oops)
There goes the time we spent away
(oops)
There goes the love I had but you cheated on me
And that's for that now
(oops)
There goes the house we made a home
(oops)
There goes you'll never leave me alone
For all the lies you told
This is what you're owed
Hey Ladies
When ya man wanna get buck wild
Just go back and hit 'em up style
Get your hands on his cash
And spend to the last dime
For all the hard times
Oh when you go then everything goes
From the crib to the ride and the clothes
So you better let 'em know
If he mess up you gotta hit 'em up
While he was braggin'
I was comin' down the hill just a-draggin'
All his pictures and clothes in a bag and
Sold everything else 'til there was just nothin' left
And I paid
All the bills about a month too late
It's a shame we have to play these games
The love we had just fades away, away
(Oops)
There goes the dreams we used to say

All of the dreams you sold
Left me out in the cold
What happened to the days when we used to trust each other
And all of the things I sold
Will take you until you get old
To get 'em back without me
'Cos revenge is better than money, you see

The Differences between Theurgists Pets
According to Anonymous who posted on Allakazam
Earth pets are tanks - they have more hit points, last longer, and melee the enemy. Ice pets prefer to cast - they stop a distance from the enemy and cast ice spells, doing dmg and rooting. Ice pets have less hit points and dont last as long. Air pets are a mix, they melee the enemy and cast stun every couple of secs.
I generally send one earth to tank, follow up with a ice to nuke, then send more earth or ice. If I gotta run, i use air.

Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart
Gene Pitney (Greenaway/Cook)
Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting it's way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, and turning me down
Making me smile, and making me frown
In a world that was small
I once lived in a time that was peace and no troubles at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling unknown shook my heart,
made me want you to stay
All of my nights, and all of my days
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, and changing the blue
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you
I got to know if this is the real thing
I got to know it's making my heart sing
You smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray

Yesterday, when I was young
Yesterday, when I was young,
the taste of life was sweet like rain upon my tongue.
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed,
the splendid things I planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand.
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
and only now I see how the years ran away.
Yesterday, when I was young,
so many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
I never stopped to think what life was all about
and every conversation I can now recall
concerned itself with me and nothing else at all.
Yesterday, the moon was blue
and every crazy day brought something new to do.
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
and every flame I lit too quickly quickly died.
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
and only I am left on stage to end the play.
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung,
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue.
The time has come for me to pay
for yesterday when I was young.

The Characters
Kat - Young, innocent female mrem. In her first relationship with..
Zith - The object of Kat's affections, also apparantly in love with Kat. Friends with...
Lox - Cassonova extradinaire, who hooked himself and Zith with...
The Whores of Byranth - Ameneko and Andrea
Scene 1 - The Confession
Zith confesses to Kat about a 'swim' he had in the public baths with Lox and the Whores of Byranth.
Kat : 'I didn't think it was anything more than innocent. But the way Zith and Lox kept talking in drow about how to collaborate each other's story made me wary. I knew then, it was not an innocent 'bath' they shared. I calmly asked for the names of the Whores. For I am but an innocent kitten, what do I know of the Whores? Then Zith muttered their names.'
Kat blinks once. But once and leaves the room. She does not wish to hear anymore. Swiftly she searches out the Whores.
Kat : 'Why do I need to kill them? Perhaps to teach them..Definately to teach them. Females have a code, too. I know, I know...but seriously. If I were to let them get away with it...if I were to let them... I do not care. No one touches my mrem and gets away with it. No one..I have to kill them.'
Scene 2 - The Murder of the Whores of Byranth
Like a mrem possessed, Kat walks into the Tavern and asks for Ameneko. Someone actually points her out to Kat.
Kat : 'Like a blunt sword plunged into my stomach, I see with my eyes, Ameneko. A female mrem, nubile and tiger-like. I can see why she would seduce my Zith. I can see them now...in the bath, touching each other, stroking with their tails..argh. DIE!'
Kat murders Ameneko with a single backstab.
Kat : 'I didn't stop to think..I didn't stop to consider. I have Ameneko. Now, I will kill Andrea. Zith and Lox tried to reason with me. But even then, they spoke amongst themselves in drow, thinking I did not understand. The audacity of the Whores! Andrea now stands in front of me, smirking and laughing. What is she doing now? She is giving my Zith a bellyrub, in front of me! In front of the still warm body of her companion Whore!! Die. Andrea. Die..'
Kat murders Andrea with a single backstab.
Kat : 'Suddenly, I feel as if someone has removed a red coloured veil that covered my eyes. Everything seems clearer to me. Everyone seems to be talking in slow motion, I can understand every word. Something moved beside me. What is that? Why is that woman crying? And why is Lox grinning at me like that. Oh Zith..my love, Zith. I am happy I still have you.'

Icarus' Flight
..........and that is what this story is about ... wings, the yearning to fly and escape those things one feels are holding our soul captive.
It was in a time before dreams were labeled impossible and magic flowed through the air on the wings of wishes.
Daedalus was an inventor, he took pride in the things he created. But his true pride lie with his child Icarus. Such a loving child, with a need to reach beyond the human limitations and soar toward the stars of hope.
Icarus dreamed of flight, to break away from the earth's pull and float with the breeze. But the vision of being closer to the sun, that was the longing that was ached with. The need to know such a being as the sun was almost more than Icarus could hold in one small heart. And the yearning for such drove Icarus to reach beyond the daily toils and look to the magic of wishes.
Daedalus, could see his child's need radiating from the fail body that held her soul to this earthly plane. The pain that burned so plainly there was more than the father could bear for his child. And in an act of unselfish love he laid aside all other tasks to fulfill this need that fed off of his child. Daelalus envisioned wings.... wings such has had never been seen before..... and he with love and patience began the task of making his vision a reality.
For as much as Icarus wished to soar, Daedalus wanted his child to have her hearts desire.
And the day dawned when at last the wings were done. Daedalus called his only child to him and unveiled that which he had toiled for so long. The wings; in Icarus's eyes they reflected back at the maker. They were beautiful to behold, made of wax to be light and sturdy. And child size if such a thing were so, as wings for a child. The magnificant gifts were put upon Icarus's back and joy ran though the tiny body that stood so proudly there. Daedalus's eyes misted from the site of his child so austure and proud with the promise of a wish on her back. And for a moment the earth stood still as father and child breathed in the magic of the day.
Then with no word needed; for the love and gratitued showed plainly on Icarus's face, she stepped off into the air.
Icarus plummeted down toward the rocks below. Her father stood still questioning her fate. The answer came quickly, his heart rose with the sight of his child soaring back over the edge and beyond.
At that moment Icarus felt she had no need of the wings her heart was so light. She had the dream, it had become her reality in an instant. But already her true goal beaconed her. And with no further thought she flew to meet her destiny
With no regret for that which she was leaving behind. It was not that she no longer needed such things. Just that she could only see that which she felt she had lived for finally within her grasp.
The sun.... pulling her to it's warmth and light. At last to be with her heart's passion, to know peace all this pulled Icarus higher still.
Her father a tiny figure below could only watch as the love of his life passed beyound his sight. He could no longer see her, but he could feel the joy in her heart. And for him, it was enough.
Icarus continued to fly upward to become one with her desire. The heat seared her, melting her wings but fanning her desire.
There was no marking of the time when Icarus left her body. No way to know when the metamorphisis occured. She simply went from girl to light, no more. The pull of her wish was enough to make reality release her.
And she was one with the sun. Her father watched as a flash of brightness took that which he had loved and cherished. And the the love and loss he felt cut through his very being severing him, never to be whole again. He had gave his heart so that the one he loved could feel true happiness, to be complete.
And with the act sealed his fate as shattered.

Sei Shonagon's Hateful Things
One is in a hurry to leave, but one's visitor keeps chattering away. If it is someone of no importance, one can get rid of him by saying, "You must tell me all about it next time"; but, should it be the sort of visitor whose presence commands one's best behavior, the situation is hateful indeed.
Someone has suddenly fallen ill and one summons the exorcist. Since he is not at home, one has to send messengers to look for him. After one has had a long fretful wait, the exorcist finally arrives, and with a sigh of relief one asks him to start his incantations. But perhaps he has been exorcizing too many evil spirits recently; for hardly has he installed himself and begun praying when his voice becomes drowsy. Oh, how hateful!
A man who has nothing in particular to recommend him discusses all sorts of subjects at random as though he knew everything.
To envy others and to complain about one's own lot; to speak badly about people; to be inquisitive about the most trivial matters and to resent and abuse people for not telling one, or, if one does manage to worm out some facts, to inform everyone n the most detailed fashion as if one had known all from the beginning -- oh, how hateful!
An admirer has come on a clandestine visit, but a dog catches sight of him and starts barking. One feels like killing the beast.

An admirer has come on a clandestine visit, but a dog catches sight of him and starts barking. One feels like killing the beast.
One has gone to bed and is about to doze off when a mosquito appears and announces itself in a reedy voice. One can actually feel the wind made by his winds and, slight though it is, one finds it hateful in the extreme.
One is in the middle of a story when someone butts in and tries to show that he is the only clever person in the room. Such a person is hateful, and so, indeed, is anyone, child or adult, who tries to push himself forward.
One is telling a story about old times when someone breaks in with a little detail that he happens to know, implying that one's own version is inaccurate -- disgusting behavior!
Very hateful is a mouse that scurries all over the place.
A certain gentleman whom one does not want to see visits one at home or in the Palace, and one pretends to be asleep. But a maid comes to tell one and shakes one awake, with a look on her face that says, "What a sleepyhead!" Very hateful.

Signs that you're STILL addicted to 'The X-Files'
...You start eating sunflower seeds just because they remind you of Mulder.
...You perk up when you hear a character in a film or TV show mention that the FBI have been called in only to be disappointed when the Feds who arrive aren't Mulder or Scully. Or even Doggett for that matter.
...You know more about exsanguination than anyone who isn't a medical doctor or a vampire has a right to.
...You know Mulder & Scully's badge numbers, birth dates, and addresses by heart but you still have trouble remembering the exact date of your parent's wedding anniversary.
...You take a Latin class just to keep up on the episode titles.
...You could spend hours discussing the complex intricacies and underlying themes of 'The X-Files' but if someone asks you to stand up and say a few words at a meeting your mind goes blank.
...You have a 'X-File'quote for every occasion and on every one of those occasions you use them.
..You use a quote from 'X-Files' in your e-mail signature.
...When you see a picture from the show you can tell at first glance the title of the episode it was from, the season, and the basic plot. Most of the time you can even supply a few choice quotes from the episode,
...The only words in Russian you know aren't appropiate for certain audiences. (Thanks a lot Krycek.)
...Bees. They aren't just for honey anymore.
...You get wistful when driving by a cornfield. (Mulder! Scully!)
...Whenever you see the color blue you marvel at how it's like a gentle breeze.
...You know all the In-Jokes in each episode.
...When you hear the word 'fox' the first image in your head is not of a small woodland creature.

Kathrynia
Kat purred softly and curled comfortably around the fire. Remembering her mother's advice, she coyly tucked her tail safely away from the dancing flames. She purred again, ever so softly, feeling lost and alone, she looked around the temple with large cat-eyes.
Its been a month since she last saw her family. They were on the way to Keratch when she lost them. She kicked herself for the umpteenth time. She knew she should not have chased after that elusive butterfly, leaving her family behind. But it was such a pretty butterfly. And it smelled strangely of melted butter! It was too much for a curious kitten to bear, and Kat chased the butterfly for miles, before she suddenly realized she was lost.
Tears welled up in her blue eyes, as Kat tried to find a familiar face amongst the strangers in the temple. She purred again, sadly. Perhaps to an untrained ear, all purrs seem the same. But to another mrem, a sad purr is as different to a happy purr like a sob to a giggle.
A soft purr whispered in her ear. Kat looked up, startled, for she did not even notice anyone next to her. A shadowy mrem with a sombre ring around his tail smiled and offered his paw to her.
She reached out and took it, following the mrem to a Pawn Shop. He then sneaked through a small door, taking Kat with him.
Blinking, her cat-eyes adjusted almost immediately to the darkness of the room. The room was dark lit only by four candles: one in each corner. The walls, floor and ceiling were made from paneled wood shining with a thick glaze. An nstructor slipped in and out of the shadows showing students how to sneak and steal. Targets and straw dummies hung on the walls covered with embedded daggers in vital areas.
"Learn all you can, dear Kat." the shadowy mrem said. "Learn to take care of yourself. They are the best you can learn from."
Kat nodded slowly, afterall, what else could she do? She was alone, lost and but a kitten. And now, she had found a friend and a teacher.
Within days, she was a languid sleek female mrem. Her fur is midnight blue and neatly groomed, with a small patch of white just at tip of her left back paw.She moves around slowly, her large blue eyes wide open and sharp ears twitching ever so slightly. Completely relaxed and always at ease, her long limbs are slightly muscled. Her face is pleasant (for a mrem), with a small triangular black nose above a mouth perpetually curled into a grin. Tiny white fangs peek out from her lips, giving her an almost sinister look. Almost, if she did not grin as much as she does. She smells slightly of catnip.
She was now a lithe young female mrem with midnight blue fur.
Now to find her family.
Kat purred softly and curled comfortably around the fire. Remembering her mother's advice, she coyly tucked her tail safely away from the dancing flames. She purred again, ever so softly, feeling lost and alone, she looked around the temple with large cat-eyes.
Its been a month since she last saw her family. They were on the way to Keratch when she lost them. She kicked herself for the umpteenth time. She knew she should not have chased after that elusive butterfly, leaving her family behind. But it was such a pretty butterfly. And it smelled strangely of melted butter! It was too much for a curious kitten to bear, and Kat chased the butterfly for miles, before she suddenly realized she was lost.
Tears welled up in her blue eyes, as Kat tried to find a familiar face amongst the strangers in the temple. She purred again, sadly. Perhaps to an untrained ear, all purrs seem the same. But to another mrem, a sad purr is as different to a happy purr like a sob to a giggle.
A soft purr whispered in her ear. Kat looked up, startled, for she did not even notice anyone next to her. A shadowy mrem with a sombre ring around his tail smiled and offered his paw to her.
She reached out and took it, following the mrem to a Pawn Shop. He then sneaked through a small door, taking Kat with him.
Blinking, her cat-eyes adjusted almost immediately to the darkness of the room. The room was dark lit only by four candles: one in each corner. The walls, floor and ceiling were made from paneled wood shining with a thick glaze. An nstructor slipped in and out of the shadows showing students how to sneak and steal. Targets and straw dummies hung on the walls covered with embedded daggers in vital areas.
"Learn all you can, dear Kat." the shadowy mrem said. "Learn to take care of yourself. They are the best you can learn from."
Kat nodded slowly, afterall, what else could she do? She was alone, lost and but a kitten. And now, she had found a friend and a teacher.
Within days, she was a languid sleek female mrem. Her fur is midnight blue and neatly groomed, with a small patch of white just at tip of her left back paw.She moves around slowly, her large blue eyes wide open and sharp ears twitching ever so slightly. Completely relaxed and always at ease, her long limbs are slightly muscled. Her face is pleasant (for a mrem), with a small triangular black nose above a mouth perpetually curled into a grin. Tiny white fangs peek out from her lips, giving her an almost sinister look. Almost, if she did not grin as much as she does. She smells slightly of catnip.

They stood proudly in the Dark.
Ebony black wings stretch out behind her, her midnight black hair curled around her shoulders. She carries unholy weapons, and she is clad in pitch black armour.
She was the Angel of Darkness, resplendent in its Malediction. She knows no purpose, only purpose is to Defend the Dark with him, to Protect the Dark with him. Only purpose is to spread the Dark with him, to expose all that is Light. She does not remember yesterday. She does not care of tomorrow. To her, today is an endless night with him.
Mortal seasons passed, & he had slowly slipped away from her. Standing in Darkness, she did not notice. Till one day, she realized she stood alone in the Dark.
She was angel of Darkness, but then so was he. Sorrow pierced the Darkness, and she can no longer remain. Such foolishness, she let him take her soul.
She stood proudly in the Dark.
Souless & void waiting for him. Till at last, ebony wings were torn, midnight black hair was matted. Pitch black armour were bloody, feet were calloused. Unholy weapons clenched in hand, she slumped on the floor and sobbed for half a century.
Sighing, she turned her back to Darkness and shielded herself from the Light.
She stood proudly.
Slate grey wings stretch out behind her, her ash blue hair curled around her shoulders. Grey robes cover her body, her feet bare. She does not carry a weapon, and she does not wear a single piece of armour.
Another stepped in front of her yet again. Obscured in Darkness, he enveloped her totally in his embrace. For a fleeting moment, Darkness befell her. He would not let go, he tightened his embace.
He stood proudly in the Dark.
In cover of Darkness, he whispered in her ear, 'Listen to me : The one you seek also seeks you.' He took her hand, raised her flawless face to his, and he kissed her.
She did not move, nor did she flinch. She had been the Temptress, the Siren. But now she was Eve.
She stood proudly.
He would not be stopped. Smiling, he whispered in her ear, 'Walk with me, for I know where you long to go.'
Her eyes flashed for a second, he could have missed it. But in Darkness, he did not. Drawing her into his Dark embrace, he raised her flawless face to his, and he kissed her.
He asked for her hand, she did not resist. And with it, her soul to him. In return he gave Darkness back to her.

That Day
Natalie Imbruglia
That day, that day
What a mess what a marvel
I walked into that cloud again
And I lost myself
And I'm sad, sad, sad
Small, alone, scared
Craving purity
A fragile mind and
A gentle spirit
That day, that day
What a marvellous mess
This is all that I can do
I'm done to be me
Sad, scared, small, alone, beautiful
It's supposed to be like this
I accept everything
It's supposed to be like this
That day, that day
I lay down beside myself
In this feeling of pain, sadness
Scared, small, climbing, crawling
Towards the light
And it's all I see and
I'm tired and I'm right
And I'm wrong
And it's beautiful
That day that day
What a mess
What a marvel
We're all the same
And no one thinks so
And it's okay
And I'm small
And I'm divine
And it's beautiful
And it's coming
But it's already here
And it's absolutely perfect
That day, that day
When everything was a mess
And everything was in place
And there's too much hurt
Sad, small, scared, alone
And everyone's a cynic
And it's hard and it's sweet
But it's supposed
To be like this
That day, that day
When I sat in the sun
And I thought and I cried
'Cause I'm sad, scared, small
Alone, strong
And I'm nothing
And I'm true
Only a brave man
Can break through
And it's all okay
Yeah, it's okay
