I wish I could interact with spirits or faeries on a conscious level. That'd be awesome.

Central American civilisations had some weird shit going on in their mythology. Yes, even weirder than swans raping chicks to give birth to demigods.

Depends, do you count signing away the soul of your firstborn son as awesome?

Mythology in general is fucking weird. I'm not sure whether to blame symbolism and a lack of science, or ritualized drug use and poor health conditions.
And exe, I'm being serious. I think it'd be awesome. :l and I might not ever even HAVE a son.

I'm particularly fond of any beastie that can petrify people.
Stupid doomed timeline...
Oh My
I'd like to contact spirits of some form or another at some point. Just out of curiosity. Particularly those associated with the ocean though since I have such strong feelings for it.

I really don't like oceans. I prefer calmer bodies of water. I don't like beaches much, either >.> which is weird, since I call myself Sandstorm. on the other hand, that's mostly due to the flighty and dangerous nature of sandstorms...

What the Folk are known to do doesn't usually fall under the 'good times' heading. Completely destroying peoples' lives and/or killing them in horrible ways, for one. Stealing children. Glamours. Getting people lost to starve to death in the woods, or worse.

Oceans are very scary things yes. That is in part their beauty though. They need to be respected for how powerful and temperamental they are. Yet even then they can crush you. There's something beautiful about that and traveling over it though. Surfing is beautiful too and I have rather strong feelings for it. Considering it an art with vaguely spiritual meaning to me.
^Indeed. It should be noted though that they don't run with human morality though so you can't really consider them evil...Or good. They're...blue. Just so everyone is clear about that.

You keep forgetting I often think about killing myself. Having some faeries help me get it over with would be an interesting way to do it.
Also I bet they'd make great drinking buddies.

The Fey aren't all bad. You just need to be careful, as they see the world differently from us.
'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'
I just wish I could see THEM. (repeating myself again)
If you go to a party WITH a faerie, though, you'll be fine. Or so stories say. I've never been to a revel with an Undine and woke up the next morning with gills. Ever.

Faeries are... blue? >.> are you talking Blue-and-Orange Morality or what?
dah.

Oh My
Yes I am. They see the world differently and use differently morality systems than us. Hence they are blue.

Well that's a duh, why didn't you phrase it that way? :P
Does anyone know the specifics? :l

One could certainly deal with them and come out unscathed, and even enjoy themselves (once they get past that mixed feeling of awe and terror)
But it's like going into Japan, except every old-fashioned Japanese businessman has an AK-47 and a license to use it if you fuck up the tea ceremony. Not something to be taken lightly or done without lots of preparation and research.

Eh... worth it.
This. Except even weirder.

If I screw up, I'm effectively dead. If I don't, it'll be awesome. To me it's a win-win.
@random: No, you likely won't be dead. Likely, you could be: taken as a slave, horribly tortured for as long as they can keep you alive (with magic, a LONG time), have your mind broken into a thousand pieces and made into a non-sentient hound, etc.

Oh My
So...he'll be a dead dog...
Unless...dogs aren't conscious. OH GOD DOGS ARE ROBOTS.

Not a LITERAL hound. I meant as an expendable troop capable of wielding iron. Which is a plus.

Weird shit and giving birth? Huitzilopochitle. Conceived by a feather and burst out full grown murdering fucking everything in sight. Including the woman whose head became the moon. I love that story.
