Hi!

I'm not sure that I should do a whole post on me joining...

Oops too late here I am, typing and everything. I can't stop now I have put the energy in...
So I just wanted to say Hi! as the title suggests. I am new (duh) and I am very happy to
have joined, I love meeting NZers just as obsessed as I am ;).
Soooo yeah I don't have any great words of wisdom to impart with you guys and I hope I am
allowed to be posting. Well if I'm not I can be the rebel mage.
 HAHAHAHAHaHAHAHA oh its not funny if you don't know me, but I am the least
 rule breakerey person EVER. In the entire universe. And I mean the whollle universe, in
every single parallel dimension. Oh yeah, is anyone else here a Whovian?  Sorry I am getting off topic, I would like to get to know everyone on here :) and also before I forget does anyone here know a Juliette? She is my friend who has a friend that has a blog and goes on derek landy's blog but Juliette doesn't know her blog name.
So, yeah.
Selena out.

Just... stuff.

Sure, I'll do the character profile :D Good idea.

Name: Sapphire Iota
Magic: Elemental/ Sensitive
Occupation: Elder
Appearance:Long, curly chocolate hair that she usually wears down or twists into a loose plait. Pale skinned with unusually bright blue eyes that creep people out if she stares at them too long. Saph usually has a small smile on her face and loves wearing black/ jeans.  Looks around fourteen and is medium height.
Weapon: Two daggers (she's tried to name them countless times, but nothing's stuck). She prefers to fight with something in both hands but is reasonably good at hand-to-hand combat. Generally, she prefers to outwit her opposition than use brute force. She will also attack with her mind >:D
My Personality:
Saph survives because she gets mad ideas and thinks her way out of tricky situations. Despite her talkative and friendly demeanour, she’s not the most open and social person in the world- in fact, she’s quite guarded. But she’s trustworthy and incredibly loyal. Saph loves sharing knowledge and teaching people things. She doesn’t generally care what people think of her and prefers running over fighting, but in the end she will always do what she thinks is right. On the down side, she can be a total grump sometimes and can stress out easily :P

--------------------------------------------Role play--------------------------------------------
Another day of the entire Sanctuary doing nothing but watch our boat. And replays. And analysis. And the weather forecast in San Fran tomorrow. (Let's just say that if it was in Wellington, we'd never stay below the wind limit long enough to race XD )
 
All of our Sensitives (including me) have been frantically trying to forsee the result, but it's murky...  :( The prediction at the moment is;
 
Oracle wins the next race.
New Zealand win the race after that, and therefore the cup!
 
And so we wait and wait and bite our nails and really hope it concludes soon, because wearing the same red socks for two weeks gets a bit smelly after a while :(

What are we?

What are we? Derek calls us NZ minions, but you're right, Grand Mage! We need a better name!
*Points at Alex* That's your responsibility. See, this is the fun bit of being an Elder! I can boss you around!

I agree, the sailing is brilliant. I would love to be in San Francisco, but unfortunately the local mages have banned me. Apparently they don't trust me not to tip their boat over... As if
.
Actually, that's a good idea...

*************************
Sapphire pushed her brown curls to one side and rubbed her neck. These robes were so itchy, even if she did like the dark blue colour. She shuffled uncomfortably as she strode down the corridor.
At least they didn't get too hot in the summer, but-

A blur of robes, blond hair and paper appeared in front of her nose. Saph was too slow to move as she crashed into her fellow Elder with a yell and a curse. She stumbled backwards and the book fell to the floor, thudding down onto her toes. She cried out and lost her balance, her head colliding with the wall.
Hands appeared out of nowhere to catch her, steadying Saph until there were no longer stars in front of her eyes. Her vision cleared and she could see a familiar, concerned blue gaze from a girl in robes just like her own.
"Sorry!" Scarlet Eventide apologised. "Are you okay?"
Saph rubbed her head, wincing. "Eh, I will be in a minute." She took a deep breath and straightened up to hug her sister. "What were you doing?"
There was a brief, dizzying moment where Scarlet teleported over to her book and popped back, stroking the cover. Sapphire blinked.
"Just coming in to the Sanctuary," Scarlet replied. "I didn't think anyone would be here." She glanced up again. "You sure you're okay?"
A little smile touched the corners of Saph's mouth as they began to walk down the corridor. "I'm fine, Scarl. I'm not even due in for a few hours, but I can watch the America's Cup better here than from home." She sighed. "I wish I could go there."

Her sister stared at her in surprise. "You should've just said! I can take you there right now!" The arm without the book reached out for Sapphire. A little spark of hope flared in her chest, but she crushed it.
"I'm banned, remember?" she pointed out.
Scarl grinned. "They'll never notice. Come on!"
Temptation battled with reason, and Sapphire hesitated before taking Scarlet's hand.

A/N And I shall write a part two, where Saph and Scarl attempt to capsize Oracle :D Or someone else can if they want.
And I WILL do the character thing. I'm just tired right now :(

Busy day at the office

Busy day at the office today.
Watching the sailing is tiring.

I've been assured that the elemental on the NZ team has nothing to do with our winning streak, but we're still keeping tabs...

In the meantime though, why don't we all get to know each other better: How about submitting your OC?

Here I'll start

Name: Calidae Dark
Magic: Elemental
Occupation: Grand mage of New Zealand
Appearance: Hmm.....     long, light-brown hair. Blue eyes. Jeans and tank top. Thats bout all I can think of.
Weapon: Preferably just magic, but I also have a dagger I use in close-range combat when necissary
My Personality: Is changeable. Some days i'm rational and logical. And some days it's like i've eaten a bag of sugar all at once. I'm stubborn, very determined, and loyal.

Okay, admittedly that was a really bad OC but OH WELL.
I'll work on it.

In the meantime, we're also still recruiting, so any NZer-minions you meet TELL THEM ABOUT THIS BLOG!!!

- Calidae

p.s Also, what is our official name? Not NZer-minion. New Zealanderinion? Kiwinion?

Welcome! (No bombs allowed)

So, I borrowed this idea from the Americans. This blog (hopefully) will be about the goings-on of the NZ Sanctuary :) Any NZ minion is welcome to be an author, and any Bloglandian can visit. This may change, but at the moment the members of the Sanctuary are;

Grand Mage Calidae Dark
Elder Scarlet Eventide
Elder Sapphire Iota
Alex Stone (Administrator)
Jasmine Echosong (Sanctuary worker)

I'm hoping Selena Gasp can join, but I have no idea how to ask her :(
If you want to join, please email me! sapphireiota@gmail.com
