humans! humans humans!

::Blankie looks both happy and sad, perched on a small shoebox::

humans! I am sad to say that it seems my time with you has begun to wane. my former human, with my guidance, is on the cusp of beginning his first job in the games industry, a dream he has worked towards since he was a kit.

at this vital time in his journey, I, being his spectral ferret pet/guide, can do nothing less than give him my full effort and aid. I am quite fond of my forum humans, but there is only one human who was once my own. I must do my duty and help and care for him, even as he once did for me when I was fur and bone.

I will miss you all. even the pesky and borderline impudent among you. you know who you are! may you all always have good munchies to eat. and save a little for me humans!

::Blankie rowrs quietly and curls up on the shoebox, waiting for the moment when he will transfer himself from cyberspace to the spectral world::

If you leave can we have a crab mascot instead?

Sorry to see you go, but glad your owner got that job. I hope you will at least have time to check in on us, though I will understand if you don't.

Query: What job did your owner get? And what game is he making, and for what company?

And, to celebrate your owner's success, a meal in final tribute to your ghostly ferrety-ness.

May your journey be a long a happy one. :)

::Blankie looks up:: I will make an effort to visit frequently, humans! but I will not be able to perform my full range of Blankie duties from before. and I can make no promises about how often/long I visit. maybe I was too pessimistic in my original posting, but I wanted to prepare you for the worst possibility.

And so it goes...
May the gods show you favor on your glorious war into gaming.

Be vigilant, for the companies can be cruel.
Be cautious, for snakes lie in the form of man most.
Be broad, never dull your horizons and bend the knee to some short-sighted frump.
Speak the truth always, even if it should lead to your excommunicae.
Protect those under you from the wrath of those above.
When you decide upon a path, run it into the ground, do not leave it lost in the wilderness to die.
Listen unto the voices of reason, speak when the Word grips you, hear out those around you.
No one will hand you a map, you must walk your own path.
Take time to relax, focus, meditate, glance the world from other eyes.
Regret nothing. Ever. All points have their purpose.

That is your oath. Carry it to your master.
*The Deathand smacks Blankie on the nose*
THAT is so you and he remember it.

I will stand fast and continue the tradition of 'fun and games' as soon as I can come to grips with the admins about it.
I shall demand a feast whenever you return for a period of more than one hour.
I will keep our pact until life leaves me and only Oblivion awaits.

Six hundred and sixty-six sacred words might be known to me, but not one can come to express how much I will miss you.
Farewell.
Cruor Vult

Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion,
simultaneously the source of our greatest strength, and our greatest weakness.

Soon we shall be One...joined in the Word.

>.> I hate it.. I hate it with every fiber of my being

I hate it.. that I wont ever be able to express how important you are to us.. or how much it hurts to see you leaving.

My post could never be as epic as kaome's
It could never be as spontaneous as KR's
Nor as sincere as dusk's

All I can say is that you've been here from the start, You've brought fun to the forum during the good times and shown us hope during the bad. Since I arrived I've offered you food and battled against the wolverine scourge to become one of your heroes and a hero I will remain. If , whenever you need anything you know you can call on us.

*pets Blankie and then sets his collection of BP's onto the box*

Sayonara Blankie
I weep, I weep at my own idiocy, my favoritism, for the end of an era, the fall of a giant, I weep for the lost souls who rested upon it's shoulders, who found themselves beneath it's girth, for those who stand over the fallen behemoth refusing to let it die, I weep, for all who found safety and comfort in it's shadow and for all who depended on it's watchful gaze, in this world full of malice, in this world full of suffering, chaos and hatred... I weep

Ahh, once again I find myself apparently the only one to see the silver lining of references in Kaome's posts...

I didn't know you much Blankie, but from what I can see you are a wellspring of happiness and an exuberant source of boundless energy. Your irrepressible presence will be one that will be sorely missed, and I hope that it won't be gone forever. Your light is one of the few that illuminate truly to me, and in this rare moment of lucidity in my posts I give to you a wish for luck on all your endeavors and that of your companion. Your name is in my thoughts, Blankie.

The enemy are in disarray, ride them down as they run
Send them to their violent graves, don't spare anyone
Dead and wounded lie all around, see the pain in their eyes
Over the field an eerie sound, as we hear the raven's cry

Blankie, I've always loved you! Guide your human well! You've made us unique, the only forum with a ghost ferret! And remember, if your human succeeds and makes a game, make him put us in as an easter egg! Byyyyyyyyyeeeeeeee Bllllllllaaaaaaaannnnnnnkiiiiiiiieeeeeee! :cry:

As happy as I am for your human, I am sad that you won't be around as much :cry: .

But in celebration of him getting the job he wanted, I brought a cake.

Sad times are wrought upon us.

Come as much as you can Blankie, it would be terrible indeed if our connection to you eventually tapered unto oblivion. :(
