Well I'll be doing my own branch. But not a seperate Blog as such, mostly because my life is lived through Divinity 2, the Halo franchaise, and the many books I read. But anyhow, this blog will be something that isn't a blog, just a floating imaginary island hidden on the internet...
You think I'm crazy? I am. But you'll see it. You'll see... (below is an extract from the blog, now in progress. Written in small to annoy you.
Diomedes Sheep
King
Diomedes of Thrace had man-eating horses (Greek Mythology. One of the labours
of Hercules). ‘Diomedes Sheep’ are man eating sheep, and since they clearly
aren’t demonic mares it is thought that the Natural Historian who named them
wasn’t very bright and couldn’t distinguish sheep from horse. However, the
reasoning behind the name comes from the fact that no other name ‘seemed to
fit’. These monster sheep, these carnivorous demon sheep, these diabolical
fiends from hell can’t fit any biblical description of evil because they are
SHEEP. So the name ‘Satanic Sheep’ was dropped and ‘Diomedes Sheep’ was taken
up instead.
The Diomedes
Sheep are bred out of paranoia and insomnia. When people are counting sheep to
send themselves off to sleep they very rarely have a dream about the sheep they
were counting. The sheep may turn evil and try to eat the dreamer, thus
becoming Diomedes Sheep, and causing the dreamer to distrust sleep and so
become an insomniac. People who watch sheep movements in fields may notice that
some sheep gather in circles, walk in straight lines and spy on humans in
pairs. Some people have even seen these ‘organised sheep’ perform Demonic
Rituals. The collective fear of intelligent grazing animals fuels the existence
for the Diomedes Sheep.
In the
Virtual Nation Diomedes Sheep of both sexes have huge curving horns, and stand
as tall as a small Shetland Pony. Their wool is a valued commodity, and their
horns make souvenirs. While they crave human flesh, Diomedes Sheep seem
indifferent towards other species of sheep. Skilled framers can actually keep
Diomedes Sheep, which saves people from going out and hunting them for their
thick wool, ivory horns and juicy meat.
When you
see a Diomedes Sheep, the general procedure is to run. Chances are it will
outrun you and kill you, but if you hold your ground it will eat you anyway. If
you are unsure of what kind of sheep you are up against, don’t take the chance,
run on regardless of whether or not it is actually going to kill you.
So, with sixteen days to go, lets feel Christmassy!
