Coffee House Friday
If you could sit down at a coffee house and have a rich cup of coffee any where in the world…
Where would it be?

Graphic Gecko is sulking in the corner as Bob took away his playtime.
So for this Throwback Thursday lets look back at some of Sylum’s Videos.
Trailer: Fast/Furious series by Gil & Shep
Video for Timothy Quinn’s Shut Up and Fish

Take a close look at this one – you’ve seen and will see some of this soon!!!
All vids by Bj Jones on the inspiration of Graphic Gecko
The question put forth is this…
If Sylum was a Video Game would you play it?
What would you like to see with in the Video Game?
Which characters would you like to interact with as you play a new Chosen One, Vampire, etc..
Scenes? Battles? Storyline from the series you would like to run through yourself?
In honor of Halloween
Like to give a quick thanks to Taibhrigh/Jensen for making this month’s Calendar Header!
A quick note from me – Bj!
There’s been a few delays on getting things up on the blog due to RL events that took priority over the past few days/weeks.
I’ll be working to get October’s Calender up in the next few days.
There will be no Throwback Thursday this week, but Coffee House Friday will resume.
Hopefully RL will calm enough to get back into my normal schedule.
Thanks for your continued support.

For all those who are doing Fics/Art for Sylum Advent: 2013
Check In Time.
Just leave a reply letting me know how things are going.
Reminder: All Fic/Art will need to finished and emailed to (sylumclan@yahoo.com) by November 15th.
It’s been a really tough week *lays head on desk to take a nap*
So I’m going to leave it to y’all to find a conversation to talk about.
But I will leave this pretty image for inspiration.
We all have our opinions on everything.
Just because you don’t agree with someone elses, doesn’t give you the right to bash, ridicule or disrespect the other person.
Figured to do something slightly different from the usual Throwback Thursday.
So we’re looking back at some of Sylum’s Famed Pirates
And introducing a new one
Probably the Most Famous of Sylum Pirates
And then there’s his Mate
Of course where Jack Sparrow usually is
Hector Barbossa is not far behind
Then there’s Nico’s Pirate
And Introducing
It’s Monday.
And I’m evil.
Snippets of stories that you may or may not see by Advent. You’ll have to talk to Bob about his plans.
Story #1:
With a low growl Dean put the phone back to his ear. “You want to know where the fuck I’ve been? Let me tell you Dad! I was captured by Balthazar, tortured and Turned. Yes, dad, that means your oldest son is a fucking Vampire. So you can go to fucking hell!”
He slammed the phone into the ground.
“FUCK!” He screamed out to the heavens.
Story #2:
Finally!
Some alone time. After the chaos of the past few years I deserve a well-earned break with my Mate. Told Remus we were taking a vacation, and if Langdon decided to raid the Vatican again I didn’t want to hear about it until I got home.
And read the book.
Or seen the movie.
Story #3:
“Rick! Trouble brewin’.” Daryl ignored the Deputy, pissing him off even more.
“What kind of trouble?” he demanded, moving from behind his desk. He grabbed his hat off the hook on the wall, then pulled down his gunbelt and secured it around his waist, with a quick check on the six-shooter to make sure it was loaded.
“Zombies.”
Rick actually felt his body skid to a halt.
He shook his head slightly, his brain playing back what he had just heard.
Zombies?!
Yeah he had heard that right.
Story #4:
Peter Burke stepped into the 24th Precinct, he swore it hadn’t changed over the decades he had been coming to pick up Elizabeth. He filled out the paperwork, took possession of his wife’s belongings, and ignored the rambling of the clerk.
“You know Agent Burke you really should talk to you wife. Make sure she knows her place,” the officer said as he escorted Peter to the holding cells.
“By any chance was your father a cop?” Peter asked.
“Yes. As was my grandfather.” The cop opened the door to the cells.
“That’s what I figured.” He had heard the same speech a few times the past five decades.
Peter Burke stopped in front of the cell and sighed.
“Hi honey.” Elizabeth smiled at him.
Story #5:
It was a standoff.
Neither of us flinched.
Guns steady and aimed at the other.
“Mikey you wouldn’t shoot me would you?” Larry’s grin was manic. “You know I do all of this for you.”
“No. Larry.” I had to bite back all of the emotions concerning my ex-partner. If I didn’t I knew it would over whelm me, and feedback into Sam. I needed Sam to concentrate on saving my mother, and not worry about me. “You only care about yourself.”
He shook his head. “No Michael. I do this for you. I know who you really are. Who you crave to be. I can let you be that person, and not hold you back, like that hooligan you shacked up with.”
“Sam is my Mate.”
“I’M. YOUR. MATE.” Larry growled in anger, then stepped back and took a calming breath. “You’ll see Michael. You belong to me. Did you not get my DVD? I wanted you to remember that night, see how beautiful you were under me.”
As a spy you are faced with moments of moral dilemmas. You have to make split second decisions that can change not just the course of your mission, but your life and sometimes the lives of those around you.
I lowered my gun, turned my back on him, and walked away.
I ignored Larry’s yelling.
I needed to be with my mom, my family, my Mate.
Though Sam’s hatred for DVD Players, and his ban from all Best Buys in the state of Florida, suddenly made more sense.
It’s been a really really long week! RL as kept me away from my other hobbies.
I’m really looking forward to the weekend just to relax.
Today’s Coffee House Question.
Where do you go to relax? Vacation? Favorite Getaway?
This Post was from October 5, 2012 – Sylum Question/Answer #18
Question: In Family, Aubrey’s spirit tells Nick that one day he’ll show up on his doorstep. When will Aubrey and Maturin return? Will they be characters we recognize?
Answer: They will return. If they don’t Speed might actually kill me. Yes they will be recognized. Nick is very much expecting that knock on the door.
It’s always dangerous when the Bunnies get into the Coffee!!!
So call out this Coffee House Friday.
On Monday I’ll post my favorite of the bunch and the poster gets a sneak peak of a plot bunny that’s been hanging around.
