What a great new beginning for Lenwin.

I think the screenshot of Buffy and Daenlin might be my favorite Buffy picture of all. I'm sure it has something to do with the horses!

[Tábrasa]

H-hello everyone! I'm Tara-
And I'm Willow! Although that's not my real name, but I prefer Willow, anyhow. It rolls off the tounge better.
Thank you!
You're welcome! My real name is too long anyway. Tara wouldn't be able to pronounce it without stuttering.
Hey! It's not like i can help it.
Sorry. Shutting up now.
...ANYWAY, I just wanted to introduce myself to Buffy and her friends!
Buffy? Sounds familiar...
I hope to get to know all of you alot better as the days go by, and I all hope you enjoy the story my g-good friend Tábrasa is writing!

Tara Willow X

[Acadian]

Well met, Tara! And Willow? Are you inside Tara? Tara, will you tilt your head so I can look in your ear? I don’t see anyone in there, but you surely do have lovely little round ears *sigh*. Well, I certainly believe you both though. After all, I have someone living in my head as well. By Mara, I can’t even have a pee by myself! Oh well, I wouldn’t trade my old paladin for anything. Oh, and Tara, don’t you worry about stuttering. Nope, not a bit. Sometimes, it happens to me too. Well, okay, maybe a little more than just sometimes.

Oooh! I’m having a Saturalia party here and so hope you both can make it! In fact, please feel welcome to stop by for some strawberries and Tamika’s anytime. Or if you prefer, I have some wonderful apple-berry juice; it’s Angel’s recipe. She’s a wonderful little mage prodigy who lives in Anvil. Have you two found a home in Cyrodiil yet? Or maybe decided to join a guild?

Thanks again for popping in!

Of course! I want you and all my friends to be there! And you simply must bring Alix the Mouse - I promise to have sweet rolls. It'll be Saturalia Eve and I'll be reading a Saturalia poem too!

Alix The Mouse

Did someone say sweetrolls? Oooh! A Saturalia party? And I'm invited? SQUEEEEEEAK !!!!

Barbas

Woof! (What? A Saturalia party?) Woof Woof !!! (Sweetrolls? Will I be invited?) SLURP!!! (drool, drool).

From Buffy and Acadian: A joyous Saturalia and warmest wishes for the New Life Festival to all our friends!

* * *
'Twas the night before Saturalia and good smells filled the house.
Stirring the gravy was Alix the Mouse.

Alix’s mistress was cooking the goose,
having promised not to baste with vampire juice.

A faint smiling elf arranged sweet rolls with care,
in hopes for a visit from Raven or Bear.

Tara or Willow – we’re not sure which one,
pulled a pie from the oven and announced it was done.

Even the snow leopard showed no signs of ire,
as curled up with her tail, she purred by the fire.

The couple McWylde and their knights of the round,
stood stoic duty, should trouble be found.

The Redguard’s green eyes inspected each blade and bow,
for old habits die hard, you know.

Suddenly, there arose such a clatter,
that Myrin the Dunmer went to see what was the matter.

Filling the door were the snow-covered feet,
of a big grinning Nord demanding, “When do we eat?”

Preceding the goose, sausage, fish and wine,
everyone joined hands to thank the Nine.

Once all the guests had been very well fed,
they pushed back their chairs and headed for bed.

As the little blond elf dispelled out the light,
she smiled and said, “To all, a good night.”

*Applauds and passes the [insert preferred beverage] about*...

Nice one!... ...

Loved it!!... ...

[Acadian]

Thank you so much for coming to my Saturalia party!

Guess what? It snowed last night! The University was beautiful when I woke up and stepped outside this morning. I left little footprints all the way down to the Valley of the Horses as I raced to Equestria to make sure Superian had on her resist frost saddle pad and Therend’s Dwemer heater was working. On the way, this is what I saw: 30 Second Snowball Fight

I’m glad to report that Superian was wise enough not to play with the big kids!

Happy New Life Festival, my friends!
Buffy

[Tábrasa]

Hello everyone and Readers of A.B.F!

I just wanted to come on her quickly and apologize for my constant dissapearance within the forums. I have a heavy schedule (as I'm sure most, if not all of you do) and I haven't quite worked out how to work around it, but I will try my very best

So on that note, I AM reading your amazing stories and i WILL leave comments to show my appreciation and love for them (mALX I am reading your story, just trying to catch up as best as I can. I hate out of sync comments! haha. I only write this as I notice I haven't commented on it yet )

Sooo enough of my rambling! Keep up the good work and hopefully I will be able to keep track of everything once I fix up my schedule! Haha

[Acadian]

Tabrasa – Thanks for checking in! I’m so glad to hear your determination to continue with the wonderful story of Tara and Willow, despite the pesky requirements of life beyond fiction. Given that Tara and Buffy have voices in their heads and that we both have an affinity for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I really look forward to your episodes and appreciate your support of my own humble efforts.

Warmest regards and best wishes!

[Acadian]

After three years and a thousand hours, we have given Buffy another makeover. Rather than her former five hundred hour ‘tune up’, this one is a complete restart. The reasons are numerous and reflect many lessons learned ranging from the ability to incorporate more advanced textures, to having her live in a world where she has learned not to deforest the nirnroot. Wandering NPCs will not attrite themselves into troll food or bandit fodder over hundreds of hours, and the odd quest that she did off-script will not be done until (and if) her story calls for it. Buffy’s new game currently exceeds two hundred hours of play, and she has grown comfortable enough with her new look that she has agreed to introduce it to friends and readers -

Nip Tuck

Quilling the memoires of Book 1 that comprise my time at Kvatch has been quite emotionally draining. I confess to vanity and self-doubts about my appearance (as my friends well know), but I found myself even snapping at Acadian during what he calls ‘photoshoots’. I can’t tell you how many pictures of myself I have rejected for showing my blotchiness, the little squiggle under my nose or the slight scar and deformity to my fat lips. The lighting and angles had to be perfect and, even then, I would not allow real close-ups. The paladin finally suggested that we travel to LA (Lower Anvil) for what he called a ‘makeover’. When he explained that it might provide just the pick-me-up that I needed, I got quite excited and readily agreed.

Letters to and from the Guildmagister on the Gold Coast assured me that she had coordinated everything. Indeed, Carahil took charge as soon as I arrived, and in we went to the Chapel of Dibella. One of the Priestesses had me drink a potion and lie down. Then I just dreamed of playing in waterfalls and chasing butterflies until I awoke and was led to a large looking glass.

By Kynareth’s wings, I’ll tell you they did a lot more than fix my blotchy complexion!

I’m the same puny height and weight, so friends will still easily be able to toss me around. I remain a satin blonde with blue eyes of course. They didn’t cut my hair, but Carahil took away my ponytail ribbons and showed me several new styles. My ears didn’t turn out any smaller, but they are different - more graceful and with a delicate curve now. They sweep back and out a little bit instead of just being stuck to the sides of my head. I still can’t wiggle them like Superian does. Oh, and no one will ever call me ‘Buffy the Busty’, but I did manage to pick up a couple curves. I’ll admit that I do feel more ‘elven petite’ now instead of just scrawny. Carahil said some of that is natural since she-elves can continue to, um, blossom until nearly thirty years of age.

Then Acadian let me buy a whole new wardrobe! I’m still getting used to the changes, but I think I like them.

I’m very nervous about presenting my new look, but I really am the same elf inside.

Well, time to reveal the new me.

Old friends recognized me straightaway.

Gulp. As did my foes.

Finally, Superian and I returned to the University,

where I caused a bit of a stir.

Delphine still teases me about what I wear, but at least she liked the belly chain.

Now, come close.

Closer.

Even closer.

No, I mean close enough for butterfly kisses from my new eyelashes.

A Buffy by any other face is still a Buffy !! She looks beautiful as ever !!

[Grits]

Whoa, belly chain!! Absolutely beautiful from graceful ears to bright red toes. The teen ponytail was adorable, but this more mature look is still the same Buffy we know and love!

Wonderful screenshots, I hope we get lots more now that Buffy's new look has been unveiled!


I love that outfit with the purple sash! Lildereth remarked that it was to die for. That, um, makes me a little nervous, actually.

[King Coin]

Love Buffy's new look! She's beautiful! Love the belly chain!

She looks gorgeous in the Roadstokers outfit. Aravi would have worn it except the gloves and boots. Vilja wore it for a while, but it's definitely more suited to an elf than a nord.

Thanks for sharing Buffy's new look!

[liliandra nadiar]

Very nice re-image for our dear bowgirl. Still close enough to look like Buffy, just more so.

And Grits? Send Lildereth here, that way at least it won't be you who has to die.
