    Mysthillarium - (n.) a rather fun epic about a group of people traveling through the Myst universe or parallel dimensions, solving puzzles, saving people from the evil villains, and somehow showing no sanity as they explore the land and do what they do best.

    Rules for Mysthillarium:
    * Make sure you read everything carefully before you post, take notes if you have to! Helps continuity...

    * If you think you're going to take time over your post, put in a message that says "Posting, Please Wait" to stop others from jumping in front of you! Then all you need to do is go in and "edit" your message with your contribution. This also helps eliminate continuity problems.

    * No "Posting, Please Wait" queues (this was a BIG problem in MH4). Two people posting "please wait" messages at about the same time is understandable, but please don't line up 6 deep to post.

    * Once you start, please finish! Nothing's more irksome than having the story stick overnight because someone didn't finish their addition.

    * Have fun! This is the most important one! 'Cause if it's not fun, there's no point.

    * Please try to keep it clean. A little innuendo is acceptable, but let's keep it on the G side of PG, okay?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    You have touched a link to RSVP to an invitation to Marae and Punque’s wedding. You arrive in Xilea, at the Palace Gardens, where the event is to take place. You are greeted by a tallish fellow in military dress, who introduces himself as Tanque, a friend of Punque‘s.

    Welcome to Xilea!

    If you’re here, it’s most likely because you’ve received an invitation to Marae and Punque’s wedding. If you didn’t receive such an invitation, look around the Myst Hangout a bit. I’m sure you’ll find one.

    If you’ve forgotten who Punque is (or even who Marae is), I refer you back to Mysthillarium VIII, where they met and fell in love.

    Since you’ve arrived a little early, I invite you to stroll around and enjoy the hospitality of Xilea. Enjoy the beauty of the palace grounds. There are sleeping tents over that way, the mess hall is over there -- the food is quite good, I assure you, and all wedding guests of course are provided with free food and sleeping quarters for the duration of their stay. You will find the tents quite comfortable, with all the amenities. Running water (hot and cold) and showers are accessed at the back of each tent. All efforts have been made to assure your comfort. Should you need anything at all, please inform me and I will see to it. In my absence, you will find one of my deputies at the information tent, over there, at any hour, day or night.

    Your friends should be arriving soon, if they have not already. Please relax and enjoy yourselves! The festivities begin at three o’clock on Saturday, September 3, as it says in your invitation. Welcome!

    I decide to go and see the tent I'll be staying in. Remembering the follies of the last trip, I only brought my lightsabers, a katana, and 4 daggers.

    A woman comes running from behind the information tent, her long silvering hair flying in the Xilean morning sun.

    "Chess!" she cries. Carefully avoiding all his weaponry, she gives him a big welcoming huggle. "Hi! How are you! Glad you could make it! They're just getting lunch ready if you're hungry, and there's your tent over there, and isn't this exciting! and Punque will be along shortly, and oh, look, there's Nedayuda! He's going to be officiating, you know..."

    Marae babbles on for another minute before she has to stop and catch her breath. "Sorry," she says, grinning. "It's been a long summer, mostly spent in wedding planning for me. So there's absolutely nothing else on my mind. You'll have to tell me all about what you've been up to, but first I'm sure you'd like to get settled in."

    "Oh, I have time to talk," Chess says.

    "That's OK, CK, I got your meaning." Marae smiles at her friend. "Good to see you! Gimme a hug!"

    Then she and Chess and CK find a shady spot under a tent and settle in to get caught up on things since the last time they met.

    "So Marae, how have things been with you and Punque?" Chess asks.

    "Oh, wonderful. He's been tremendously helpful during all this planning. And patient. I think we've got a good thing going here." And she smiles happily.

    Tora arrives in a deep crimson gown that sets off her coppery hair. Her Taser is in dagger form carefully sheathed and put away in her matching purse, and she's shrunk her spellbook and also stuck it in there. You never know just what you might need, and if nothing else Tora might be able to make it rain rose petals after the ceremony! She's been practising all summer, and has that particular spell down fairly well.

    Tora wanders around for a bit, staring at the gorgeous gardens, and sits down at a beautiful fountain.

    "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
    "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
    "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
