For the Fallen but not Forgotten of TORC III

[rwhen]

So many people have come and gone in the ten years I have been at TORC, I miss some of you so much and wonder if you ever think of us too??

Terry D, where are you? Wingy? Gwendalar? sweet sweet Gwendalar?? The Gentleman??? Enty??? so many many more, I figure you are just roaming around this universe and someday we will bump into each other again..

If you are missing someone, please leave them a message..

Here is mine:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The myriad stars that shine
at Universe TORC, are dimmed
to mere points of light...diminished
from our sight....
A handful of precious gems glitter
a planet aligns, in perfect harmony
one with the cosmos, sychronosity..
And one by one they fall....
burning, churning masses
to the earth, no longer stable..
Hurtling through the atmosphere
To touchdown in our hearts, tease
and surround us with creations fire..
Forlornly, she looks into the abyss
to glimpse her cherished spark
But it is the rogue star, the wanderer
Molting its charisma on lesser orbs...
In bold and startling anguish
She turns and sets the star free
Outward it travels, unaware of her
tears and loss, it only knows self..
Fly on, fly high and fly far,
may my brief embrace keep you
soaring, unfettered and free....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For Raven sending warmest healing and missing hugs to you now and everyday until you return to us. 143

For Vanadarlin', Aerin, Jae, heliona, Runie, Inky, B25, Scribbles, Hue, Sil and all others who have kept this thread alive for all these years. I thank you and let us make the third edition as great as the first and second.

It is sort of sad to see the first and second threads go, but I know many people returned and posted there. So that is a good thing.

heliona thank you for the suggestion to post the link to the original thread in this one incase people are looking for someone who posted there.

Now we have two links that can be researched if it is needed.

Thank you all, those who are far from TORC these day and those who have managed to stick it out.



First Fallen Thread 2002-2008

Second Fallen Thread 2008-2011

[sandra]

Anybody notice a proliferation orcs and general Mordor ne'er do well types, standing around spitting on the floors tossing cig butts around with abandon, cursing and scaring the faint of heart! We must try and convert these misguided souls. Convince them to join the good fight!(has anybody told them that they lose miserably in the end?) Join with me fellow Eldar in bringing them to the light before it's to late( or before all our property values go down)

Roninscott- still missed and fondly thought of. Hope you are happy where ever you are

[Vanaladiel]

So very glad to see another incarnation of this thread where those who wander can come back to and find those who are still seeking them.

Bilbo25 you are missed darling and I hope that life is treating you well!!! My mentor and my friend!!

[SilverScribe]

Oh, shiny new place!

I was just reminiscing last night on my own "noobie" days and thinking of some names that I'd LOVE to see stop in and tell us how they're doing . . . here's three off the top of that list . . .

Thenie ... Wisteria ... and Crystal_Seed.

Hoping all is well with your worlds.

:D:D

[fpshimmer]

I miss TerryD!!!! He was such an amazing poet!

[Cock-Robin]

I still miss Mrs. Took, my most regular writing companion in the old days before I met a new host of TORC friends.

[Frelga]

Folks who were oldbies to me were n00bs to some of the hoary types around here. However, I miss the many RPers who use to prance around in the Pony.

Here's a toast to my fellow travelers from my first RP: Eldfess, Arenial, Mithnen, Aiwe... I'm forgetting someone. Also luthienelflover, who is not exactly fallen, just temporary mislaid, I hope.

I see Cucalen swept by the boards recently.

[erinhue]

runes, the once and future king of TORC, Barad-Dur, I miss ya Big Guy. Freahealm, Asaris, the ever ethereal Gwenuviere, to Arwen 474, she could write me almost as good as me. Novice and Gandalf Stormcrow, Li Mu Bai, Elbren, ah my list could go on all night (*sigh*) Eldfess, if you're out there buddy, the Bard still wears the cloak you gave him.

I'll always keep a light burning in The Tower, an uncracked deck of cards on the table and whatever beer ya like fresh and cold and waiting on tap. It would be good to get up a game one more time, for old time's sake. I still love playin' to a full house. Fare ye well where ever ye fare my dear, dear friends.

[erinhue]

My sword is still sworn to the service of the Dark Lady LeGrace, Sauron's Nagging Wife. Only Finrod the Faithful would hold tighter to that oath. Fare ye well to you both.... and all the little Faithfuls

[erinhue]

....(*sniff, sniff*) Aw now look what ya went an done.

[heliona]

I'm keeping a stew warm and a beer handy for my fellow RPers, Radagast and Thorondor should they ever decide to return.

[fpshimmer]

My sword is still sworn to the service of the Dark Lady LeGrace, Sauron's Nagging Wife. Only Finrod the Faithful would hold tighter to that oath. Fare ye well to you both.... and all the little Faithfuls

I'm with you, Erinhue! I really miss SNW and FTF, too! I actually think about them a lot...Hope they are enjoying all the happiness they deserve!!!

[Terry D]

Now that we have gathered together, so cosy-snug,.. can someone tell me, where's the party tray?

[fpshimmer]

**BIG SNUGGLES TO TERRY D**

You've just made this fairy princess' day!!!

[erinhue]

Hail and Hiya, Terry D. What a grand day indeed.

[Calma]

Though I may have posted once or twice with her, Sauron's Nagging Wife had the best username ever....
I miss seeing the name on the boards.

Stormy... Yes, Stormy is missed greatly.
Hope all is well with him and his family.

The others are mentioned in my sig.

[orodreth111]

...I miss Meeker.......well.....not really.........

[Terry D]

Snuggling with fpshimmering-one,.. BLISS! How's Caleefornaiyay treet-en-ya? shimmering one, ya gotta plan a trip to see the Sequoias, the old forest, pure inspiration. And ya might see Radagst talkin' to the tree giants! Your ruggy-child would be amazed!

Bardy, bard-bard! How about a tankard of Prancing Pony's best! Meet ya, where Strider kept an eye on four hobbits.

Calma, hope the kitties are healthy and happy!


orodreth111 - w00f-woof! Cur-mudgen to the core!

[fpshimmer]

Terry D, Cali is gorgeous! So far, we have been to Old Sacramento, which is this old-timey themed part of downtown - it shocked me because it was bigger than Beale St and Bourbon St, both of which I've been to more than once. And we've also gone to San Francisco, which was amazing! I could easily spend a whole weekend there! As soon as my mom says, we are planning to take a weekend trip to see the big ole Redwoods, which is what I think you might be talking about. They're also called Sequoias, right? I will definitely be taking some pictures there!!! I plan on wearing something neutral so I can blend in with the scenery. Wouldn't want to scare off anything - or anyone - who would not otherwise appreciate some human company.

It's so good to see you! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm about to take the rugrat to see The Smurfs. Hooray!!!

[Moongirl]

Master 'Hue! I didn't get a chance to respond to your lovely hello in the previous thread!! Tis an honor to be greeted so warmly by my Guild Master! Especially for such an errant bard who's quite out of practice! Thank you!

Vana, my friend!! Hello, hello to you too! I too am glad for this thread, it feels nice to have a place to stop by where "everyone knows your name" and welcomes you back with open arms, no matter how long you've been "adventuring"!

[Drogo Baggins]

...I miss Meeker.......well.....not really.........

Nienna too....oh...wait...no......seriously...NO

SHUDDER

Dude that just caused a bad flashback.....

[erinhue]

There, there, it will all be all right.

[rwhen]

Looksies at who has stopped in!!

Besides our regulars we got Sandra, Terry D, Erinhue, Oreo, Drogo, Moongirl...WHEEEEE. Good to see you all on the thread. And see? You are missed when you aren't around for us to tease and torture.

Thank you Vanadarlin', Shimmer, Scribbles, Calma, heliona, Frelga and CR for leaving those names of folks that you miss and are special to you. I hope they all come back soon.

Here are a few more...Raven!! Hunter!! You ladies are missed very much. Please drop in and let us know all is well or just an update would be grand.

to all!!

[erinhue]

Remembering a fellow bard and my one time RP bride, Aerin Clearstream. Darlin', You are missed.

[Drogo Baggins]

I miss Witchwench, Luthien and Gamgee Wench....they flyby rarely but not enough.

And then the "won't come backs" helpingfriendlybook and Star of Hope. Great posters in their time.

[rwhen]

Hue, good call for Aerin!!! I miss her often. She comes to mind. I hope that all is well with her whatever her pursuits are.

Drogo, Gamgee Wench posts on the TVM thread fairly often...but WITCHYwench hasn't posted in forever now. Hope she is well. I recall she was about to open a martial arts school last we spoke. Good one.

Missing hugs to those who are rarely or no longer posting with us. We would love to see you again.

[Cock-Robin]

And don't forget Nazzy! (Nazgul Lord)

[fpshimmer]

Who could forget Nazzy? I wonder how he's doing.

[Sunsilver]

I miss Gimli, Barad-dur, SNW, Nazzy and a few of the other Rally regulars who have dropped out of sight. Nazzy had SUCH a great sense of humour!

Tigg (SoH) still posts on the Hall of Fire now and then, and updates us on what's happening in her life.

It's good to see my other Rally buds dropping in here! (Waves to Sandra, rwhen, Terry D and the Cookie Man...)

[Moongirl]

Thanks Rwhen!! It's good to be seen!

Though he stops in every so often, I miss my dear Lord Sil!!

I'd also dearly love to see LiMuBai, Enchantress, IH, Elian-Ranel, and Tuile! Sniff!! You are all missed, and loved!!
