DMY - a Guild unlike any other

In reading through the threads of Yserbian Guilds, I have found no mention of my own, so this I consider a public service to you all..

This guild I speak of was never heard of before, for it came to exist once the lands of Yserbius and the volcano which once held the mighty En-Li-Kil and his followers were torn asunder..

I talk of course, of DMY.. the Disbanded Minions of Yserbius, of which I am cofounder. After the dismantling of the great dungeons of Yserbius, most of us demons and monsters have gone on to find other ways of living. Some went off to join the circus, others have been employed to work on haunted farms and houses, more still have found pleasure in retiring from evildoing altogether and retreating to wintery climates to spend the rest of their days relaxing and reminiscing.

Some of us though still roam the lands here, trying to make a living doing the oddball lines of work that come our way. Many have attempted to rehabilitate themselves, but it has not gone so well.

EA meetings - that is, Evildoers Anonymous meetings - are often very violent and emotional for most of us, for as you know - changing one's complete way of life can be a traumatic and shocking experience.

Nonetheless, progress is being made and I'm sure the fruits of our labor will make respectable monsters of us all. I fear though, that some are beyond helping.. and goodness knows what will happen if a great evil presence returns to the land. For now, I'm content with things as they are and will continue on with my well-intentioned endeavors.

DMY as a whole may never completely make amends with its tumultuous past, but at least it strives to turn things around for the better.

DMY cofounder / traveling entertainer

PS - Any other former evildoers who have felt the terrible loss since the great one's collapse may join us and find that there is indeed life after En-Li-Kil. A new life, new friends, and freedom await you all.

Trephine steps forward. "Okay. Do I need to bring anything to the meetings? I can always bring money."

She presents Bones with the contents of his own pockets and some collected bone chips from previous engagements solemnly.

<eyes the valuables presented to me by Trephine>

"Hah! Good trick, I imagine your skill would work well in helping fund our cause.. but I must ask, are you truly an evildoer or minion of the cano?"

"If it's simply the EA meetings you wish to attend, I suppose I could make an exception, but for DMY membership I think you've yet more proof to give for consideration of your eligibility"

Trephine holds up one finger in a "wait right here" gesture and slips out of the tavern.

Time goes by, and she slips back in with a picnic basket. It's gaily wrapped with flowers around the handle and there's a bottle of wine and a baguette.

Inside it are trophies.

She smiles and hands it to Bones. It's heavy. There's blood leaking through the bottom. She stands up on tiptoes and whispers into the hole in Bones' skull where his ear should be, a story for each trophy.

She bounces back onto her heels and stands there smiling, happy and hoping. She wishes she had a tail so it could wag.

<looks in disbelief at the fair-skinned young creature standing before him. Something in her eyes, something he didn't see before, seems to stand out more pronounced than ever before to him now.>

"This is.. well, this is quite terrible" <wicked grin>

<pokes through the basket she has given me with thin skeletal hands, enjoying the malevolence behind each tale that brought these wicked and deviantly delicious artifacts into her possession. I also find amusement in her choice for storing these devilish delicacies - in a most strange but appropriately twisted picnic basket adorned with flowers>

"There was a time I would have enjoyed watching you work your magic and shape the events which led up to these tragic ..hmm, misfortunes... hahaha... Ahhh.. How refreshing! Its almost delightful the way your wickedly inventive mind works."

<puts down the basket and ponders her request to join the guild for a moment>

"Well, here is what is required of you shall you decide to become one with the brotherhood. There is a path you must follow, the path of the order of the Disbanded Minions of Yserbius."

"This path is long and winding, with hazards awaiting you at every turn. These so-called 'hazards' are most often those who seek to destroy us, those who take a stand against our order - against its very existence."

"The path is also riddled with temptations and tests of faith, and honor, and it takes great resolve to cast away the malevolence in your heart and the cruel imaginings of your mind. If you believe yourself strong of heart and willing to commit yourself to this arduous task and the difficult journey ahead, then you may join. The road of righteousness awaits you if you choose to become a member of the order of DMY."<hands Trephine a scroll and a pen dripping in blood> "Sign and it shall be yours"

<leans down and whispers in her ear> "psst, never-you-mind where the blood came from, its just for dramatics anyway" ;)

Trephine smiles and bounces up and down a few times on the balls of her feet. She's home!

She listens solemnly to the speech and understands everything except the word "faith" and "honor" other than those being tests for other people. The rest she completely understands, malevolence and cruelty and such. Sounds like fun!

She signs the scroll with a flourish and then sinks the pen edge into her palm, cutting a sharp and quick stroke. She stares at it for a moment and then curls the scroll closed carefully in that hand, rivulets of her own blood seeping through and around it in whimsical little designs like calligraphy. Pretty. She offers the scroll again to Bones. She's glad he can be sure where the blood came from this time. Her only concern about blood and dramatics is that there need to be more of both. Then she hands back the pen with a wide, happy smile.

Distracted by the blood she licks her palm pensively. She can't wait to see what comes next. Maybe there will be ice cream!

<takes the scroll a bit hesitantly, looks at it and the new markings of blood covering it, and looks back to Trephine>

"I've never quite.. erm had one so enthusiastic as yourself join the order." <tucks scroll in pocket, contemplates the blood that has smeared upon my skeletal hands, a thirst inside willing me to taste it.>

<whispers to self> "No, no.. I mustn't. Remember the cause.." <quickly wipes them clean before temptation gets the better of me>

"Well, young, peculiar one, I now declare you a member of the order of DMY. Your handiwork with things of value should come in handy, but for your first task as a DMY recruit you must do this:
Find one you adore, and one you abhor,
then one malevolent, and another benevolent
To each of these give twice what you take, and for extra points leave a smile on their face.
Return and join us where malice once lay, to a land demons christened Evil Way"

<stops and puts on rubber nose>

"Now, on your way.. I've got a kids party to bring fun to"

<whisks cloak around, crouches and makes my way silently into the..
*honk*
"oops. sh$t, damn nose ruined my exit!"
...into the cold dark night>
