Murlocs. Just... Murlocs.

All was quiet in Ironforge for a time. Only the sounds of the Great Forge being worked out constantly filled the surrounding area, as well as keeping the mountain city warm in the cold of Dun Morogh. However, in that small little abode tucked away in the Mystic Ward, things were not so quiet as music began to rumble out from the workshop connected to the corner house. A deep bass sounded, squeals of guitar and the slamming of drums. What exactly was going on inside?

The workshop had speakers of all kinds around the entire room, hooked up to a console near the far wall of the room. As the Gnome sat at the large work table, he had a wrench in hand, having been working on his latest inventions. He could be seen moving back and forth to the tempo of the music… it seemed deep down, this little one was quite the metalhead. His favorite group having been exactly what one would think… Elite Tauren Chieftain. He even stopped a few times so that he could jump around as if he were in the crowd of one of their concerts; dancing, headbanging and everything. Arms rose up in the air with his index and pinky fingers raised. “I am MORE THAN A FISH! I am MORE THAN A MAN! DEATH WILL RISE FROM THE TIDE!” He rose his head up and waved his arms around, literally flailing them. “MRGLGLGLGLGL! I AM MURLOC!”

He broke out into laughter, falling on his back and rolling around on the floor from how hard he was. After he caught his breath, he hopped back up onto his feet to make his way back to the table. “One last adjustment… and you’ll be done!”  He screwed in a loose bolt before stepping back as the machine came to life. It was a murloc mech! He had been listening to that song way too much recently… It was his favorite after all. It even had the normal spikes that one would on it’s back, those mechanical eyes clicking as it looked toward Manny with that side view before facing him. “Welcome to the world, T-3-M! Let’s see how your legs work!” He reached up and hefted the small robot before setting it on the floor, watching it take careful steps, searching all around the room before bumping into Manny’s leg. It even sounded just like a regular Murloc, only mechanical whirring replacing that. “Good job T-3-M! Let’s call you Tim! Sweetums is gonna think you’re absolutely awesome!” The machine whirred as it’s chest opened up, even producing a miniature machine gun. “Soon we’ll have an army of murloc mechs! They’d never expect you!” He still had no idea that Argus was even gone from the sky, having spent most of the days at home within Ironforge.

He walked over to the console after the song had finally ended, making sure it was shut off before ascending the stairs and then descending them out of the workshop. “Sweetums! Sweetums! Look at what we have now!” He called out as he ran to the door, the murloc quickly running right behind him. He punched in the code for their home and moved inside, expecting her to be there with some glitter to surprise him. But… it was quiet. Nobody was home. “Sweetums? Are you home?” He called out, even going upstairs to check the bathroom if she was in there. Nothing. Little did he know, she had left upon a ship and was coming home soon enough. “I’m sure she’ll be back… Kinda odd, though. I really hope she’s okay... Come on, Tim, let’s go test out your guns! She’ll love to see you!” He exclaimed as he went running back down the stairs toward the workshop again, the little legs of the mech running and keeping up with him. Oh, the inventions he made… What a creative little thing, he was. He only wondered where in the world she had gone?

Happy One Year Anniversary Ludlow Vineyards!

To say thank you to the members, friends, and Wyrmrest Accord is simply not enough! 2017 was an entire year full of so many crazy, intense, emotional, hysterical moments we have all shared, both IC and OOC! It was a roller coaster at times to say the least, but we’ve all come out on the other side. Most of us are rather busy in the real world these days and some of us are taking a small break, but we are all still around for occasions and when called upon! 

Here is to our One Year Anniversary and we are looking forward to many more! 

From the bottom of our hearts…

Thank you!

@elizebella @pyroreaper-blog @zexxcandell @aldreusreinhold @longclawofgilneas @lumenwolf @jungnaysoftmaw @zallytally @clockmakerclodia @swiftspiritchronicles @stoutfire @macelongclaw @sable-longclaw @sarahskyfall @kenslydawnforge @araethius @tyldanforesetter @amelia-lyton@cendelornshadowdagger @kendragallows @artorianbaerheld @kathreine @bixlolybizzspark @sparkling-adventurer @zixa-spryspark @mannydrazleblast @malgusblackbeard @earthspeaker-twins

Members & Friends,

I am not certain where to begin. There is so much that I wish to say, but it seems like none of it could scrape the surface of how grateful I am to you all. I suppose I could begin by talking about my poor slideshow making skills… hahahaha… But no, really, the slideshow is in no particular order and there was so many more that I wished to include, but the slideshow would only allow 100 images! I could not believe the amount of events and the amount of RP that we managed in an entire year! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me manage events and the guild, for putting up with me, for having my back, for all of your time and effort, hearts and souls, blood, sweat, and tears, that was poured into Ludlow Vineyards! Ultimately, I thank you all for the friendship I have found in each of you. It has been a very difficult year for me outside of Azeroth, but you all have helped keep me occupied and smiling. Thank you for the laughter, the tears, and for the love you’ve shown me and each other. I truly hope that despite how busy we have all become that we continue to be close and keep our stories alive for as many years as time allows.

I Love You All,

The writer behind Elizebella

The Ocean, The Eye, and The Gnome who Knew.

The early sea air was crisp and salty upon the skin of Sprankles’ face. Her eyes were closed and she lay flat atop the back of some large whale or another, just easily drifting along. It had carried her under the water a few times, but for the moment, it simply floated and so did she. 

Ding! Ding! Ding! Hoooooooooooooonk~!

That was the sound of a ship! Slowly, and with much nonchalance, her eyes opened behind her cracked goggles and she was on her feet on the back of the whale, even as it sprayed up water in a shower over top her, the oceanic beast taking a breath. 

The ship she saw wasn’t very large, but it was large enough for a gnome to stow-a-way on. One of her hands patted her front pocket on her pack, making sure the contents of it were still there, and they were. She stood there, then, simply waiting. The boat drew closer and closer. She knelt down and gave the whale a pat on the back. “Thank you for your hospitality, Missus Whalefin. It was quite delightful.” she said in all seriousness. She rose upright once more, giving a salute to the air before she torpedoed off the back of the whale on a stream of Chi. 

Her hands grappled some rope that hung from the side of the ship, leading up to a lifeboat. It had a few food rations and water skins on board as to which she wasted no time in diving into. She hadn’t eaten in around three days, having sailed away without anyone knowing with the Admiral Valesong. She knew Cendelorn was going to be furious at first. But, he would understand when she gave him what she needed to. It was… so very shiny though, and Sprankles truly loved shiny things. It would be -greatly- hard to part with it. Perhaps.. she would hold it just a tad longer after she got back home. She couldn’t see what harm it would do.

Three of her four fingers sifted through that pouch on the front of her pack and pulled out what she so swore to protect and deliver to the Night Elf who she thought of as a brother. She found it then, pulling it out. Her eyes only widened and she grinned broadly. It was a gemstone made mostly of onyx with a bright ruby center. It was the Admiral’s eye. She had entrusted it to Sprankles upon the promise that Sprankles would indeed get it to Cendelorn should anything happen to them abroad upon the ocean. Well, something happened and here she was. She watched the Admiral’s ship sink to the blows the Stormwind Navy dealt it, though something in her gut told her that A’reena had made it out alive. She just had that feeling. Though.. she would tell Cendelorn the news. It was her duty.

As she stared at the eye she sighed, thankful for the adventure. Though, she couldn’t help but wonder what her beloved Manny was doing in her absence. And she couldn’t for the life of her remember if she told him she was going anywhere….

Have yourself a Merry Little Winter’s Veil.

It was -PERFECT-! Sprankles squealed excitedly as she finished putting the final touches upon the Winter’s Veil Tree directly in front of the open window in her home in Ironforge. “OH MY GLOB! YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, TREE! I LOVE YOU!” she screeched out with great excitement. It had taken her hours to get it all perfect, but that wasn’t the end of her decorations. No, sir! She had many more, Manny deep within the confines of his workshop would come home to this brilliantly magenta surprise!

A better part of the day he had spent within the additional part of their home, in which was made into a big room for engineering, tinkering and much of the like. Whether writing up plans for new projects, or currently working on them as he went... It was something he enjoyed, besides spending time with his sweetums or practicing the ways of the Monk.

He was writing on a blueprint that he had been fixing up as of late, perfecting the mechanostrider that he had tested during their ‘adventure’ in Gnomeregan while a music player was on at his side and keeping him focused on his work. However, just as he was finishing up, he thought he had heard Sprankles in the other section of the house screaming. It caused his brows to raise up, rolling the blueprint up for later as he went to grab the brewmaster keg that he kept near at all times. It especially surprised him that he could hear her from there- well, not really... It caused him to laugh softly, though smile a most genuine smile for her as he turned off the music. He soon ascended the stairs and moved to the door, locking up the room before making his way to the door of their home.

The first sight he caught was the wreath that was set on their door. He had truly not forgotten about Winters Veil, but, he didn’t even realize that she was decorating already. He punched in the code for the mechanized door and strode in, though nearly dropped his staff to the floor at all the sights of the decorations that she had already put up. He was just... awestruck. “Holy farts...” It was all he could even say at the moment, speechless besides that. “It... It looks... amazing! Why didn’t you tell me you were decorating already, sweetums? I would’ve helped you!” He immediately moved over to her side and took some of her glitter to help dust it along, but not before wrapping his arms around her and pelting her cheek with lots of kisses. He was being truly genuine with the display they had for the holidays, a surprise to possibly others if they were to gaze upon the spectacle. He was just so grateful that she was doing this, wanting to do more and be able to help add to the holiday cheer, even going to help put a mixing of pink and blue lights around the house to bring more to it. It was going to be a wonderful Winters Veil, and he just couldn’t wait to spend it with her.

Just a little… sketch I did of Sprankles.. lmfao.

[manny-archive]

How I imagine she’s in this pic LOL

[manny-archive]

No, -I- did it!

‘The joys of engineering. While it may be nearly always getting your hands dirty of grease, working with metallic objects of all shapes and sizes, and machines! Lots of machines! Well… some machines don’t exactly like to be nice to you at times. A turbine, especially. But, it would’ve been much easier if I hadn’t had constant speaking at the back of him from not one, but two other Gnomes. Zixa and Bixloly… First I got called a cheeser for trying to get Zixa’s attention by shaking her, and then I got called a nincompoop for no reason whatsoever! This is BOGUS! At least my sweetums makes awesome glitter packets...’

All this seemed to run through his head as he gripped a tighter hold on the picnic blanket that covered his person, along with bits of crumbs from the chicken sandwich he had had beforehand. However, his nap was disturbed by the sudden shrieking of someones voice, causing him to awaken from his deep slumber. His eyes slowly opened to the light peeking through the covering branches of the trees, and they blinked a few times to try and shake the grogginess from them. “What...” He whispered softly, still a bit out of it before he sat up and rubbed his eyes a few times while looking to the one who had screeched out.

“Holy farts...” He whispered out, immediately jumping up to his feet, bare and touching to the grass as he ran over to the edge of the river where he could see the turbine moving with the flow of water. “Holy farts! It’s working!” He jumped up and down with a loud cheer, along with a little dance of his own that only he could hear the music too. However, it was very short lived. His sky blue eyes soon turned on Bix, hearing her say that... -she- did it. “Hey now! All you did was nag nag nag! I was the one that fixed it! Especially with -my- tools that I brought!”

The Gnome put his hands on his sides and narrowed his eyes toward her... completely unaware that actually neither of them had fixed it, not even Zixa. But, he wasn’t backing down still.

Zixa Is a Dumbface.

Sprankles was so excited! She had received a present from an unknown source. It was beautifully wrapped and she really couldn’t have done a better job herself. She even took the bow and tied it in her hair, and used the butterfly decorations to make garland that hung upon her hearth for no apparent reason whatsoever, other than it was absolutely beautiful.

But… When she had opened the box, it all took a different turn. “WAAAAAAH! MAAAAAANNNY!!!” she screamed out through their house as she literally climbed up on the mantle, clutching the small note in her hand. “That stupid dumbface Zixa did this! I KNOW SHE DID!” she unabashedly squawked out. “JUST YOU WAIT, ZIXA SPRYSPARK! YOU MAY HAVE WON THE BATTLE, BUT YOU WILL NOT WIN THE WAR!”
