ice changed between male and female
Malarity: Was it a girl or guy?
TadStones: I thought of her as female.  Casting sloppiness due to the fact they were just silohuettes.
TadStones: Evidently a mutant duck able to switch genders.
aaron_sparrow: When I was a kid, I was sure the guy in the tall hat was Phineas Sharp
TadStones: Or at least gender voices.
aaron_sparrow: Well, I guess I wasn't a kid, exactly. I was 18 when the show aired
TadStones: Wow.  You're old.
Malarity: Hahaha.

It's a conversation in a livestream I'm currently in. If you guys know who Tad Stones & Aaron Sparrow are then YAY! Anyways I gave that piece to my friend who was unable to make it & right now it's kind of a intermission so I got bored.

Spoiler:

The Waypaths were always strange, though certainly that was to be expected of something that wasn’t actually in the physical world the way one normally thought of the world. They tunneled through a sort of under-dimension generally known as the Astral Plane, sometimes also the ‘Realm of Walking Spirits’, which Miril had always figured was because too many people had imagined odd things out of the colour and light one saw around the Path.
Once, he’d heard someone say that taking a Waypath was like walking through a dream, and this was the description that had always stuck with him. One could not wander off the Waypath, as it was more like an odd tunnel through the bright mist and swirling colour of the Astral Plane, with a wall you couldn’t see keeping the mist out and you in. Miril was rather glad of this, because he was quite certain that if walking here was like walking on an open plain, he’d be lost within a few steps. Especially since once you the doors of a Waygate closed, you usually couldn’t see the way you’d come in anymore. Waypaths were meant to work only one way at a time. No one had ever managed to bump into someone coming the other way on a Waypath, that Miril had ever heard of. The generally accepted theory at the School he’d gone to for a while had said that each time you opened a Waygate, even if it was the same one, or the opposite Waygate of a set, it gave you a slightly different Path. Someone had mentioned trying an experiment with that, but Miril hadn’t heard if they’d learned anything, or even if they’d managed to get permission to do the experiment.
Waygates took rather a lot of magic to activate, which was why in small towns one generally needed the town’s permission to use the gate, as the magic was often borrowed from the world around, and each person in the town would need to contribute a little of the needed magic, so that it would not drain anyone too drastically.
Glancing to his left, Miril realized that there was a particular mist-vision that seemed to be keeping pace with him. It looked like an old man, about his height, in an odd hat that was rather tall, but pointed instead of blunt at the very top, and with a brim rather wide for the fabric to hold steady, which kept flopping about, covering his eyes every so often. He leaned, not on a cane, but rather on a staff which was taller than he was, and topped with what looked like it might be a crystal. ‘A vision of an old Sage or something? Yeah, right, Miril, you’ve spent too long thinking about Omma’s story about the shrine at the top of the mountain.' He kept one eye on the apperation, though, still rather curious. ‘It has to be the mist obscuring his clothes though… no one wears robes like that… well, the Council does, but mostly just for big meetings.'
Carefully, Miril turned his attention to the path at his feet, deciding to study the polished stone instead. ‘Odd, the last time I walked a Waypath it was strewn with leaves… maybe it depends on what Waygate is opened.' There were a few leaves on the edges of the path, but the pathway itself looked far more like the roads in TOWN1D had than what he as familiar with. He shrugged, ‘I’m not a scholar. Leave that to someone who likes taking apart spells to get the theory or whatever.'
It was easier to make good time when he didn’t have anyone poking at him to talk about a particular thing, or scolding him to slow down, or asking if he’d seen the same image they had in the mists—little sisters could be quite a pain, and Miril was glad to be traveling without her. On the other hand, it was rather boring without anyone to talk to. Making trips like this with Daluin had been fun. The path wasn’t even interesting—there was nothing to trip over… really there wasn’t anything to look at here except the mists… and that old man was still keeping pace with him. Odd. ‘Probably my imagination, though. Why would some old man be living in the Astral Plane, much less bother to come follow the edge of a Waypath from a tiny town to CAPITOL? And why follow me? I’m sure there are much more interesting and important people around for him to follow…'
He could see the exit now, some fifteen minutes after he’d entered the Waypath. This door was more familiar, carved of wood instead of stone, and not nearly so intricately decorated. There were a lot more leaves on the ground up ahead as well, and the vines that formed the handles of the Waygate doors looked inviting, where the silver handles of the dwarves’ stone doors—gold on the Waygate that lead to CAPITOL2—had looked cold and unyeilding. ‘I guess they like cold things, though,' Miril thought as he came up to the door. He glanced over his shoulder and noted that the mist-man was no longer in evidence. Shrugging, he grabbed hold of the vine-wrought handles and pushed the doors open, letting in fresh sunlight again, and the warmth of a wooden room.

Squashed for being rather long. I was running a section I wrote through Wordle.

hrmm.. good way to get chunks knocked out, write out of order, write what you want at that point in time. Put it in the proper place later.

Er.... comment on IRC... My response to that is something along the lines of "This is why I like Scrivener."

Brew a cup of ginger or chamomile tea, add a cinnamon stick and stir. Steep for five minutes. Add a full tablespoon of honey. Add the secret ingredient, about two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. Top off with brandy or whiskey based on personal preference, up to a full shot. Drink while hot!

Recipe for a hot toddy, from someone on the NaNo forums. I've had a cold the whole weekend and I'm thinking maybe drinking something like this would help....
