annyshay Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Annyshay awakens staring at a ceiling with strange shapes and runes. She has no idea where she is and no memory of this place. She sits up and swings her legs over the side of the tricked out bathtub that she woke up in. Where is she? How did she get here? At this point she notices a small pedestal glowing in the corner of the room. She walks towards it. A pattern begins to glow the same bright blue as the marks on the ceiling and the goo that was in the bathtub. Seemingly without prompting, the colors and patterns shift. A small tablet emerges from the center of the pedestal. The voice returns in her head and tells her to pick up the sheikah slate. The voice tells her that the shiekah slate will help guide her on her journey. She picks up the Sheikah Slate, and it seems to turn on with images and colors on a small screen. Annyshay examines it and then puts it on a small holster. At this point, Annyshay realizes that she is in her underwear. At the same time, the large door in front of her opens. She steps through into another dark room with a few large treasure chests. She kicks them open only to stub her toes a bit. Still, inside the treasure chest are some old worn clothes that she quickly puts on. As she walks further into the room another pedestal in the corner starts glowing. Annyshay hears the voice in her head again. Soon after Annyshay complies, a large door opens and light streams into the dark room in which she stands. Shielding her eyes, she steps forward into the light and sees a path out to the surface. She walks forward and climbs up a small cliff before she finds herself outside. She runs to the end of a small outcropping and looks out over the lovely landscape ahead... 9 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
annyshay Posted March 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 The moments that follow are strange. Annyshay runs into an old man that helps direct her. The voice continues to talk to her from time to time. The Sheikah Slate itself seems to guide her from moment to moment. Soon it's clear that she needs to defeat a creature called Calamity Ganon and that the Sheikah Slate will be her principle tool in the fight. She learns that the Sheikah Slate is made of ancient technology and that there are several powers scattered throughout the Great Plateau that she needs to restore before she can proceed on her adventure. These powers have strange old fashioned names - Cryonis, Remote Bomb, Stasis, and Magnesis. What could such powers allow Annyshay to do? Can she really find them without her memories or a clear idea of what lies ahead of her? Annyshay decides that the only way forward is to give it a try. She enters the first mysterious glowing shrine... 9 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
annyshay Posted March 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Goals for the Challenge Stasis = Mindful Moments Stasis gives the power to freeze time, so mindful moments are the perfect analogy. I'm going to work to pause before and during meals to check in with my body about hunger and satisfaction. Remote Bomb = Clean the Kitchen Sink Sometimes it looks like a bomb went off in my sink, but I'm going to work to restore order each night so that I have a clean slate to work from. Cryonis = Movement Check In Cryonis builds an ice pillar that's a perfect jumping off point. I'm going to work to check in with my body each night about whether or not it wants more movement, so I'm hoping that this becomes a good jumping off point for me. Magnesis = PT Exercises Magnesis gives the power to lift and manipulate very heavy objects, so it's a good analogy for the small but important movements that strengthen my right foot and will hopefully allow me to lift heavier and heavier loads. 8 Quote Love as thou wilt.

annyshay Posted March 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Sunday - w0d1 Stasis = Mindful Moments - none Remote Bomb = Clean Kitchen Sink - not necessary, but I did unpack completely from my trip Cryonis = Movement Check In - nope Magnesis = PT Exercises - also no I'm counting Sunday as day one because I want to get on a Sunday to Saturday schedule even though it was a weird day because I was traveling home from Memphis. No reason to be a perfectionist about things. Today will be a better day. 5 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment

Elastigirl Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think where I live (Washington state) we have a few more mud seasons thrown in, and some moss seasons too.. It's actually supposed to be sunny and warm this weekend. I plan to enjoy it before mud season hits . 1 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment

We... sort of do here in West Virginia? I mean we're referred to as a temperate region, and we get the typical warm and humid summer, cool but comfortable autumn, cold and somewhat snowy winter, and cool but comfortable spring. But there is the occasional weird warm day from out of nowhere in winter or the super cold below freezing snowy day in early autumn (like October early). But this winter was mostly lots and lots of rain, even though it was still cold (30s and 40s). In fact, it rained so much here that FEMA is already warning of seasonal flooding concerns this spring.
