Thread: Task of the Month for May 2013

I did it! I completed the two basic tasks during a wonderful DEILD chain this morning. This was my second attempt at task 1 and first attempt at task 2. Here's what happened:

Spoiler for laying an egg (that wasn't an egg):

Struggled to roll out of bed (must find a better way to do this) and got up, determined to do a TOTM. The kids would want me to lay an egg, so I looked at the floor and found a play mat. I decided this would be an adequate surface. Confident that this was a dream, I went for a number 2 with gusto. I even made loud chicken noises just for fun. Something small dropped out, and I felt disappointed. I also still had to go, but never mind. Let's see what we have here. Oh, a crystal! A small, colourless crystal, about 2 by 1 centimeters. Well, that's a bit boring compared to everyone at DV, isn't it? Must do better next time.

Stood up. Got annoyed with lack of light. Vocal command for more light failed. Attempt to paint the ceiling with light failed. Never mind. The urge to lay another egg persisted, so I searched the floor and found a pretty black-white-purple scarf with silver threads lying on the floor. I had this when I was 13. Wore it out within a year, but here it was, good as new and looking very nest-y. I crouched down and went for it. More chicken noises, and I was having a great time! The result this time was much better. Another crystal, but this one 5 by 5 cm in the purple colour of the scarf, and shaped like an Aztec or Mayan temple. I was able to manipulate it into other shapes, still angular but very pretty. I was very content and sure this would be an adequate result for DV.

Spoiler for telling a DC it's not real:

Again, back in bed, looking at vase. Oh, I can't be bothered with these flags, let's just get up. Something was holding me back, and this time I sensed an ominous presence. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a dark shadow looming too close for comfort. A succubus, excellent! I had been worried about the result I might get from an unsuspecting DC from an attempt at TOTM basic task #2, but here was someone I had to get rid of anyway. "You! You are not real! You are in my dream!" The creature let go of me and faded away. Granted, an string of obscenities or at least a pathetic "I'm melting!" would have been more fun, but this would do.[COLOR="#FF0000"]
