YEARBOOK ANNOUNCEMENT

Ladies and gentlemen today we have a special occassion . We will indeed be inducting a new person into Tempus but before that , we will have a promotion . Today , Tempus would like to recognize one of our Honourary members as he will now be made into a full fledged Fellow !

Without further ado I'd like to call comagoosie author of For Rome's Honour as our latest addition to the Fellowship !

Our good goose , who erupted onto the scene of AARland with much energy and drive has time and time again proven himself as he takes his citizenship in our home here seriously and with due diligence . His writing abilities have matured and ripened especially in his latest AAR and he expresses the kind of willingness to learn and adapt while persevering that makes him a paragon of what a new writer should strive to be especially for one as young as he !

His AAR itself is a joy to read with the adventures of Julius Caesar being both a hotspot of action while weaving in the humanity of this colossus of a man as he attempts to rise to power . Uncouth and still crass , it's like the Casino Royale Bond of the Caesar stories .

On a personal note , comagoosie is a young man of character and devotion that is ready for the more rigorous responsibilities of being part of our activities in AARland-- many of which he already assumes right readily-- but also demonstrates the understanding of our wish to better AARland enough that he is ready to come into full actualisation . Well done , my friend and let's celebrate this fine day !

And yes , I did mention we will be inducting someone new today but we timed it so that comagoosie will be the one to sponsor him so please check it out in his thread very soon !
 
May I ask what is the idea of that societe?

Other than its existence? :p

You read the aars from the other members, and then? :confused:

And gratz comagoosie, if that is an achievment!
 
A promotion!? Yes, I guess it is true. I have been an honorary member for quite some time now, and honestly, that is how far I thought I would go. I thought I was at the ceiling and couldn’t go any farther though I am wrong, and this time I am proud to say that I was wrong. There are very few moments when I am wrong, and even fewer where I can actually say I am glad being wrong, but this is one of those rare times that will probably never come again.

Anyways I didn’t become honorary member for something! I suppose it is for Rome’s Honor, which, by the way, has been the upmost pleasure in writing. It has also been a great learning experience. Currently my room is filled to the brim with books such as the Commentaries on the Gallic Wars, Romans, and books by Livy. In addition, I have a great burning passion to improve myself, after all I am a perfectionist, there is not detail small enough that doesn’t receive my critiques. Yet when I see the continued feedback I am impressed, which does have a significant part in both my continuation of the AAR and my passion to improve my writing.

Lastly, I would like to thank the Tempus Society for having me be in the group and then for having me receive a promotion. Thus far the benefits of joining has far outweighed the side-effects, which there are none, so one can say that single-handedly the Tempus Society has launched me from bystander to participator, and for that I wish to thank them. They have unlocked for me, so many opportunities that I never thought possible, now it seems like the door of the world has been opened and all I have to do is walk through it. So easy, and all I have to do is casually look left and right, to make sure no traffic is coming and take one or two strides to propel myself through the door.


Awws, thanks Tempus for opening the door for me.

Thank you all, you guys are the best.

Yesterday was a bit hectic, I get promoted, and with all the excitement I hurriedly induct robou! What an adrenaline rush! But I am sure robou and I will make a great addition to the team.

Anyways, with a promotion, does there come a pay raise? :D

The Ending Summer

A Timelines mini-bonus​

With a lazy pop, the clock against the sun-dried wall edged from six to seven. The pendulum underneath it swayed in the half dusty air like the leisurely dangle of a feline’s tail. The kitchen that the clock faced stayed motionless in the backdrop of the orange sun though the wooden interior made the atmosphere shine with the thickness and slowness of melting chocolate. Dishes were hiding in their cupboards—still in their siesta—while the silver faucet yawned a drip of water into the basin while playing its favourite past time of stretching the reflection of the room like putty.

The kettle atop the stove had been holding its breath ever since that afternoon’s tea had been finished and remained with steadied breath while carefully watching the light coming into the glass doorway from the outside. Out there—that was where the sun was bidding its evening friends goodbye while the water that plated that great egg in the sky spread out in a vast ocean. The beach behind the home whispered a nightly prayer to the house with the easy repetition of monks and deposited its frothy wisdom upon the serenity of the sands mediating between its vast greenness and the home.

A single figure moved along the edge of land and sea. A towering silhouette etched against the setting sun adding a curved feminine shadow that made even the sky blush a red hue as she passed. Halfway across the stretch of beach allotted for the home, the figure looked back towards that glass door and into the kitchen as if reassuring her friends within that she would not be too long among her more ‘natural’ companions. “It’s good to be home…” she thought to herself quietly while her toes made beds with the submissive sand below. “At least for a little while…”

Dark eyes looked towards the horizon where the sun was beginning its final descent and forced the oceantop to glimmer in golden hues as a final fanfare for its farewell. “Two months vacation,” she remembered someone telling her—yes, she recalled more forcefully, the director had told them that they would begin filming again in two months. Almost all of that time was now over and the dipping of the celestial lamp only reminded her of a summer giving way to time.

She wrapped slender arms around her stomach and squeezed the exposed skin there. The chill of the nightly air was beginning to work its magic on her skin—forming little goosebumps across her forearms. It was time to go back inside. When she turned to make her way back to the doorway, a figure was already standing at the doorframe leaning against the side of the portal with a shirt unbuttoned and parting on either side. For a moment she let herself be caught by surprise by the sight although—after these past few weeks—it should have been quite familiar to her. At first it felt like an apparition—no.. not an apparition, like some waking dream personified. She wanted to pinch herself in some silly girlish assurance that it was reality.

The person at the doorway straightened up when the woman’s eyes made contact with the viewer’s as if sensing her uneasiness. “Are you alright?” was the posture of the figure. “Should I not have—” the body’s speculation went on.

“No,” the woman’s mind interrupted the posture language. She turned and made her way towards the doorway. This would be the last night before they would fly back to the studios for filming and she wouldn’t waste it on silly regrets. The sun set on Ipanema just in time to mask the kiss the woman gave the man in the shadow of the newly born night.
