The Ancient City

A Gift from Whil

2010-08-18T10:59:00.000-07:00

Whilyam finally got around to giving me a linking book to one of his ages today. He told me that he had named the place Toroolbah and that he was using it as an office/ hub. True to his word I linked into a short hallway with three doors two of which were closed on one of them was open and led into a hexagonal room with three books on pedestals. I took a look at the panels of the three books and they seemed be for the ages, Maw, Fens, and Bimevi. Can't wait to visit some new ages after all this time.

Jevasi off to explore!

Well on a positive note for once I've managed to find someone who helped me get my KI to access the internet and am currently using it to make this post. This should enable me to update this blog whenever I want without worrying about how much charge my laptop battery has left. I will still continue looking for some method of recharging it though as there are still some things that I can't do on my KI.

An Important Meeting

2010-08-06T15:58:00.001-07:00

I finally got around to having a chat with Whilyam about the state of things down here and my place in SR. The good news is that the comic will continue, the bad news is that there are likely some changes in store. I'll post more on that later, I'm not really in the mood right now, but it looks like I might need to find a new artist.
I also told Whil about some of the rumors I had heard about him writing ages and to my surprise they were true. He even said that he would give me linking book to an age that he was using as some kind of library when he gets the chance. Personally I can't wait to see the place.
It also seems that despite my best efforts on saving power my laptops battery won't hold out much longer so I'll need to find either a stable place to recharge or another method of accessing the internet. I've heard mention of some kind of upgrade for the KI that would enable the latter so I might ask around about it.

Arrival

2010-07-26T15:13:00.000-07:00

I got down here late yesterday evening but haven't been able to get anything posted until now,thankfully I had the foresight to bring a laptop with me when I left, As I have so much to do. I've arranged to meet with Whilyam sometime tomorrow and finalized some changes for the SR comic. I'll need to talk with him about arranging a little meeting with someone from SR to take a look at out work and while I'm at it see if I can find a place to recharge this thing. I have heard tell of people getting the KI to connect to the internet though so I may look into that as an alternate option.

Jevasi still needs to learn to speak D'ni

Final Preparations

2010-07-25T12:02:00.000-07:00

Obviously I wasn't able to make it down to the cavern yesterday, since I still up here posting this, too many thing got in my way. It wasn't all bad though I got to spend some time with the family which is always nice. On a shopping trip I stumbled across something that seemed like it would be useful down in the cavern, A baseball cap with three LED's and a power supply built into it. I of course bought it, and some extra battery's, for about twenty bucks and now I shouldn't have to worry about getting lost in the dark alleyways of D'ni. I even got the chance to try it out last night when a big storm his and we lost power. Anyway I 'm all packed for the journey down, this is actually the last thing keeping me from leaving, so I probably wont be able to post here again until later tonight, or tomorrow.

Winds of change blow from above.

This Time for Real

2010-07-23T18:53:00.000-07:00

OK I realize that its been over two months since I last posted here and that I was last able to make it down to the cavern so I've probably been entirely forgotten. I also know that this is just one of many such post I've made here but this time I promise to follow it up. I'll try to make it down tomorrow or sometime this weekend and then the fun can begin in earnest.

Returing

2010-04-21T16:30:00.000-07:00

This almost feels like a dream. Everything seems to swirl around me with such speed that I can barely keep up. Anyway a lot of college and life related things have kept me from either updating this blog, heading down to the cavern, or work on much of anything else. However I should have some free time coming up soon so there may be some updates on the way. I would also like to take this opportunity to give a warm welcome to an old friend of mine who is now a follower 0f this blog. Good to see you again Eyes Only.

Of Sickness and Health

2010-03-17T17:44:00.000-07:00

Well I finally made it back down to the cavern for a little while until sickness and important college work drug me back up again. Thus this is the first time that I've felt well enough, and had the free time, to post on this blog for a while.
Well happy Saint Patrick's day to the one person who actually still reads this!
p.s. Yes I made this post green, what of it?

This is why I love this place so much. It's been over a week since my last post here and I don't even care. I can just let go of all my worries, well not all of them as I need to get busy with the comic, and explore to my hearts content. Oh and I bumped into Eyes again after about two years. Isn't that great its all coming back now.

Jevasi back in his element

Delays Delays Delays!

2010-02-13T12:36:00.001-08:00

It's taken me far longer then I had hoped to get things prepared for a return trip to the cavern. Towards the end I just felt like taking of and leaving everything else to its own fate but fortunately I took care of them. Nothing else stands in my way though, I'm all packed up, and I'm heading down Now.

A Return

2010-02-08T17:51:00.000-08:00

Wow, just wow! I can feel my hands tremble as I type this, thank the maker for spell check, but it's just to fantastic to be true. The reopening of the Cavern of D'ni was so sudden that it caught me off guard and I wont be able to head down until tomorrow at the earliest. Good thing I got a new laptop to, I can see if I can get a connection and try updating from down there.
Man it's going to be good to head back down!

College

2009-09-17T18:42:00.000-07:00

Well it's begun, and unfortunately it's proving to be a rather nasty consumer of time. Despite this though I can say that the comic is progressing and is currently awaiting authorization on the website. I can also say that I am currently working on some OTHER projects with a relatively interesting group of folks which will be slightly related to the comic.

Jevasi is still alive

Time Flys

2009-08-06T13:36:00.001-07:00

So many things have happened and I've done so much since I last posted on this blog. Some good some not so much but regardless they've kept me from writing here. Not that I have much to write about as they have also kept me from working on the projects that should have been consuming my time. However I have gotten to enjoy enough vacation and will now resume work on the project that caused me to start this blog in the first place, in addition to a few others.

Jevasi is back!

Progress

2009-06-15T16:09:00.000-07:00

Despite the fact that I've been busy for quite a while I am pleased to state that I have made a good amount of progress on the project. I don't feel like giving too much of the nature of the project away but I can say that I have finished first few pages after the intro. If anyone is actually reading this blog then wish me luck.

More then just rumors

2009-05-29T19:40:00.001-07:00

I have been pursuing a particularly interesting lead for about a week now and am proud to say that it has finally panned out. After numerous persistent attempts I finally managed to get in contact with the operations leader of my new benefactors and, after a brief conversation, was able to get permission to work in collaboration with them on an interesting albiet nonprofit task. I will be cataloging the story of their previous experiences in the cavern in comic format, don't think I could have asked for a better job. Not to mention the fact that when I do get back to the cavern I should have some nice connections.

Graduation Pictures

2009-05-13T16:38:00.000-07:00

Today while I was having some photos taken in preparation for graduation I learned that my eyes seem to be more sensitive to light then normal. Of course the reason for this is really quite mundane, nothing as extravagant as me being a descendant of the D'ni, it's simply the fact that for the past two years I've been wearing glasses with Transitions lenses. They seem to have been preventing my eyes from experiencing direct sunlight keeping me seeing in dim conditions.
Also if anyone's interested here is one of the few pictures taken without the aforementioned glasses.Jevasi

Reflection

2009-05-11T16:21:00.000-07:00

What an arduous time this past year has been.
Thinking back it seemed like a veritable eternity since we had to leave the cavern when the DRC lost its funding. I remember how difficult it felt leaving behind all that I had experienced in D'ni; the people, the ages, and the things I learned, Just to return to a "normal" life on the surface. It was like I had lost an essential part of who I am and, despite my best attempts to move on with my life, I still cant help feeling that I'm missing something big.
However now things are changing, nothing solid or concrete though just rumors and rumblings of things going on beneath the surface. Hints that our exodus may soon be over and of a return to our cavern home.
Yet sometimes I consider myself a fool for putting such stock in such inconsequential rumors and hopes. If a man is told of a magic portal beneath a bridge it is more likely that he will end up neck deep in ice cold water then in a magical land. Despite what logic has to say though, I feel the need to return to D'ni.
I believe that I am truly feeling the call.

Editing Complete

2009-05-10T18:18:00.000-07:00

I've done as much editing the format of this blog as I likely ever will, and it looks really nice if I do say so myself. It feels good to have this part of the work out of the way.

Up and running

2009-05-10T11:11:00.000-07:00

Well despite numerous challenges I finally got this blog up and running. Strange that it took me this long considering that I'm usually tech savvy, still not sure about the theme though.
