ANIMIL KINGDUM!
Another world of man-animals (but with more variety). We learned that this world has two kinds of animals -- Wild and Domestic. The 'Wilds' are typical, everyday animals you'd see on most worlds, while 'Domestics' are the man-like animals (like Sir Jay). When we arrived, some Domestics captured and took us to their leader, who was (surprise, surprise) a human! His name was Rick and he explained to us all about this world. He told us of another human who used gene-splicing on Wilds to make Chimeras. He worked with some Domestics who hated Wilds. Rick and his friends asked us to help because they thought Sir Jay's arrival fulfilled some sort of prophecy. Naturally, I was ready, willing, and able to help, but Marshall didn't want to get involved (until he found out the other human had Markal; he's always looking for Markal). So, with the help of our Domesticated friends, we defeated a Chimera and that mean human.
That sounds like an interesting place to visit.

Who wrote this?^ Was it Jarvis?
-Marshall
No, Stricken by Fate (CW) wrote it.
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
And who is Stricken by Fate (CW)?
-Marshall
I can't tell you.
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
And why not?
-Marshall
'Cause you might steal my identity.
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
What? Why would I do that?!
-Marshall
I don't know. I can't speak for you.
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
You must be Jarvis.
-Marshall
You know, 'Marshall', you should consider a journal name so no one will know your identity.
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
What? That's ridiculous, I refuse!
-Marshall
Yeah!
-Marshall**
What?! Who wrote that?!
-Marshall
Didn't you write that?
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
No, I didn't!
-Marshall
Uh-oh, looks like someone stole your identity.
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
This is unbelievable!
-Marshall
It's not too late to get a journal name.
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
Fine. How's 'Smoked Black Wing'?
-Marshall
Ooh, that's a good one. Do you have a copywrite on it?
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
What's a copywrite?
-Marshall
It keeps someone from stealing your journal name.
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
Yeah, you wanna watch out for things like that.
-Smoked Black Wing (CW)
Aw, come one! Who's doing that?!
-Marshall
Did someone take your journal name?
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
Yes! And they have a copywrite on it! How do I get a copywrite?
-Marshall
You have to speak to the Forum Manager.
-Stricken by Fate (CW)
Isn't that you?
-Marshall
Nope, it's me.
-Journal Master (CW)
(You're kidding me.) Okay, I need a name copywritten.
-Marshall
Do you have one in mind?
-Journal Master (CW)
Sure...um, how's 'Rockhard Fists'?
-Marshall
Sorry, already taken.
-Journal Master (CW)
What?! By who?
-Marshall
I can't release that information.
-Journal Master (CW)
Aw, for crying out loud!
-Marshall
Might I suggest 'Tough Callous Heels'?
-Journal Master (CW)
No, thanks. I'll just forget it.

Man, poor guy can't get a break.

Yeah, I feel sorry for him.

*The symbol for "copywrite," a concept which will be explained shortly. Imagine the letters being completely encircled, as a standard copyright symbol would be.
**This is written in manuscript, as opposed to the true Marshall, who signs in cursive.

My favorite chapters/segments usually end up being the longest as well. I just have more to say. I like this one the best as well. The dynamic between the wild and domestics is a nice touch.
The Animal Kingdom is a concept which I had not fully developed by the time I had written this. As I had mentioned before, Dimensia brings together concepts which I had developed over time. This is not only fun to do, but it allows me to expand upon unexplored ideas. I have since given AK some consideration and development and even tried to implement a message board roleplay (which didn't last, sadly).
Here's what I had come up with for the idea.
