Story game?

Who wants to go on a story adventure with me???

So here's the idea:  We do a "play by post" sort of story-telling adventure.  Any one of us can post.  In your posts, write a little piece of a story!  Describe the world around you, describe what happens to us, and describe your own actions.  Describe other Franciscans' actions sparingly, however.

I'm not sure yet what world it is.  It could be our own world.  It could be an alternate world.  It could be Narnia.  :)  Nor am I sure yet what the first conflict is.  Whoever decides first wins.  :)

As for our characters... we are all, roughly, ourselves; but we don't have to always act exactly like we would in real life.  Furthermore, we have... special powers!  ^__^  Specifically, we're all shapeshifters!  Remember the clay animals Megan gave us first year?  At will, you can change into your animal (except life-size and real) and back!  So Sarah and I are black cats; etc.

Rachael, did Megan ever give you an animal?  If not, either Megan or you can pick an animal and go from there.  :)

Megan, there are two options.  Pick what you want.  A)  You can pick an animal for yourself and stick with it.  OR... B)  I think it might be fun to make you our master shapeshifter... in which case you can shift into the form of any clay animal you've ever made (except real).  I would enjoy seeing what you did with your superpower.  ^__^

So who's with me???

  1. Don't you sound sad, Lydia. You can swim AND EVEN FLY. And, of course, be compulsively chased by Megan. ;) Your powers will come in handy, I suspect. :D

    Yay, a moose! That... fits oddly well. :D

  2. Dear Franciscans, I am a current Franciscan myself, and a friend of mine found your blog, and passed it along to me. I would LOVE to talk to you guys about what you did as a group, any other fun stories other than was in the Francis book, and any traditions you began or ...just anything like that. We are delighted with our heritage, and are good good friends with Kipling. Hope to hear from you. Facebook me at Amy Michelle Gerlach. THANKS!!!

  3. So glad to hear from you, Amy! We would love to talk to you too. :) We put most of the most fun stories in the book... but yes, there are more. There are four years' worth. :)
