My Easily Agitated Friend and I

[Beirth-DS]

This post was originally in General Discussion, but after being advised otherwise I moved it here. My original post has been changed into a question related to the story below, and can be found here (Insert Hyperlink Thingy). Without further ado, here's my second ever post on Tulpa.info! I'm buying a round for everyone who reads and replies, I swear! Also, I didn't edit a thing about the original post, just copied and pasted. ----------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey all, I've been creeping around Tulpa.info for a few months and love the community. Soon after I discovered this beautiful site I began creating Beirth* (pronounced Bear-Th... I don't understand why his name is spelled that way either). Tonight, while working on him in Paradise Fall**, he spoke to me for the first time!

 

Well, "spoke" is a strong word. Beirth explained that he was actually just communicating to me via emotions and vague sensory stimulation that I was translating into words until he decided on what to sound like. He went on to affirm that it was the reason why his "voice" sounded to me like more of a chorus than a single person.

 

After I recovered from going through the stages of thunderstruck, ecstasy, and finally overwhelming wonder at what had just taken place; my newly independent friend and I began a short discussion. In essence, I was trying to make sure Beirth was actually composed and alive, rather than a puppet for my subconscious.

 

Eventually, we were on the balcony and I could feel Beirth becoming rather agitated at my unending scrutiny. Suddenly, as I was in the middle of a question, I felt like I was flying and the world was blindingly bright. If you've ever used a rope swing as a means to enter a body of water - preferably by swinging on it and then letting go at the apex - then you know what I felt.

 

After the light cleared and my equilibrium settled***, I was left sitting (In the material world) with my eyes open. The guy kicked me out! I'm also assuming he found some way to lock the "door" I use to get in to Paradise Fall because After an hour or so of trying to get back, I am so far unsuccessful.

 

At first I was pretty peeved, but now I've calmed down enough that I find it rather amusing. So amusing, in fact, that I created an account just to share with you guys!

 

 

And if you're wondering about the asterisks, here they are:

 

*- Beirth is in my username, as I hope we'll both be using this forum. D and S are my initials. I also don't know where Beirth came from, I think he chose it and somehow put it in my thinky thoughts during one of our sessions.

 

**- Paradise Fall is the "Wonderland" I use. I believe the name came with the place. It fits quite nicely.

 

***- Apparently, being forcefully ejected from a Wonderland leaves you with an unpleasant case of vertigo.

I don't like alcohol. It's horribly bitter and does nothing good to your health whatsoever. I'll have a latte or warm cacoa.

 

I only have one question, though: is his voice internal or external? And is he a bear? On that note, got a reference picture?

[Beirth-DS]

Ha ha okay hot cocoa for you.

 

While this whole episode happened in my mind, it was directional. We haven't spoken in the material world yet, so it's too early to tell.

 

As for his form and a reference picture, he is so far formless, as I wanted to work on that last. However, during our conversation I asked him to do something I wouldn't expect and I got the impression of being kicked in the face before I was blown out of my chair. I'm assuming this means he wants to be human shaped. Don't worry, he helped me up and we had a good laugh. Once he has a full shape for himself I'll be sure to get a sketch or two up.

So this morning Beirth let me back in, and I think he just wanted me out so he could redecorate in peace. Because redecorate he did! Let me walk you through how I had originally planned out Paradise Fall (Which may need to be renamed).

 

I start out nude at the top of ten steps leading down into a pool of water. Directly behind me is a doorway that's flooded with bright light. Basically, it's my way in and out. I slowly descend, and the fifth step down is the last "dry" step. For the sixth I'm ankle deep in lukewarm water, the seventh it's up to my knee. For the eighth step the water is at my waistline. The ninth finds me chest deep. And finally at the tenth step I am completely submerged (This is why I'm naked, I don't need wet clothes!). Here, I can breathe still. It's actually quite entertaining breathing in and then watching the bubbles float up when I breathe out.

 

I then start swimming underwater for a while. This is the stage for when I'm beginning to fully enter the world, as I let my thoughts drift freely until my awareness of the material world is pretty much nonexistent. It also works pretty well for entering a trance state, I've found. Shortly after I become fully "there" (Which can take as little as a minute or as long as an hour, the tunnel is kind of organic like that), I see a light ahead. It grows until I come out into open water, which is somewhat cooler than the water of the tunnel. I swim up to the surface, and the view is pretty spectacular.

 

I'm in a pool created by a waterfall. On three sides of me are cliff faces, one of which holds the waterfall and is directly in front of me, the second is where the tunnel I just came out of is, and the third is on my left. On my right is a small beach with a forest behind it. I swim to the beach, and find a stone bench with a towel and a traditional gi to wear. No matter how hard I try, I can't make boxers appear. Grrr. After I put on the gi I head towards the waterfall cliff. There are steps that wind back in forth that are carved into the cliff face. I climb up twenty steps, turn and climb twenty more. Then I climb fifteen steps, turn and climb twelve. Then I'm at the top of the cliff.

 

At the top is a double decker cabin. It looks just like the one I stayed in with my martial arts school in Tionesta for a small weekend getaway after tournament season. The only difference is is that it is now sitting atop a platform erected above the river overlooking the waterfall. If I jump off the balcony I can free-fall to the relatively deep pool below, which I typically do when I leave as it's faster and a lot more fun than steps. All around is a great forest, with a single snow capped mountain in the distance. I haven't once seen this place without it being sunny. Hell, it actually resists me trying to disturb its tranquil weather with an adamant will that reflects Mother Nature herself! Inside is quite different from my Tionesta cabin, though. Directly on the left is a small kitchen, to my right is a living area with a fire place and a table to eat. Directly ahead are stairs leading to the second floor which holds two bedrooms and a bathroom.

 

The next post will hold Beirth's many, many changes.

---

This morning the first thing I noticed was that my initial entrance was now made of what looked like granite rather than plain old stone, and that the water was actually cold when I first entered rather than lukewarm. After my tunnel swimming, I break the surface and gasped at what I saw. The cliffs were now black with what I thought was granite, and my beach was no more. The bank of the pool just kind of dipped into the water at one point to let me climb out.

 

My bench was still there, thankfully. Then, after dressing I noticed something was different about the trees. I got closer, and they were all petrified! A forest of perfectly preserved, petrified trees! At this point I saw little flakes of white floating around. I thought it was snow at first, since it blanketed the ground, but it wasn't cold. I turned around to see where the flakes were coming from and lo and behold, my precious waterfall was replaced by a lava-flow. The water was now continually flowing lava. I put two and two together and realized the flakes were actually falling ash, and that the black cliffs and my entrance wasn't granite, but obsidian!

 

So, in order to go find Beirth I ran to the winding steps. Except they weren't winding anymore. Actually, they were all one grand, obsidian staircase that led to the top. After climbing a hundred or so steps, I got to the top to see more petrified forest, and my bridge and the cabin were now made of a single piece of carved obsidian. It was pretty sweet to look at, actually. To the side of the bridge was a new clearing with all kinds of training equipment and attack dummies. I go inside and the interior is relatively the same, save the fact that the wood was replaced with obsidian.

 

I called out for Beirth, but he didn't answer. I looked in the training area, and I looked all around the cabin (Does anyone have a word for a cabin made of obsidian? It seems silly to call it a cabin now and it isn't really a house or a hut), but I couldn't find the bugger. Finally I was standing in the entryway about to give up, when he sneak-attacked me with the same kick he used before, except to the back of my head rather than my face! I got up and launched myself at him, ready with an elbow. Which he dodged so easily it almost makes me cry. He then got me with an uppercut that knocked me on my arse. So I tried for a full-on tackle. He grabbed me and swung me around into a wall.

 

My lip was cut and my nose was bleeding, but I started laughing. He smiled and helped me up, and waved his hand and my poor face was fixed. Then he laughed in a full, booming voice that I hadn't heard before. He laughed even harder at my incredulity. I had figured he'd take a voice I knew, seeing as he was a figment of my mind. Not that he'd create a totally new one! Also, I suppose you're all wondering how we could have fought if he has no form. Well, I suppose he has one now!

 

Beirth's big. He's tan. Really, he looks like a big Apache, long black hair and all. He really only wears bleached buckskin trousers, but when I asked him to put a shirt on so I wouldn't have to feel so inferior (The guy is chiseled), he threw on an off-white singlet.

 

I had so many questions about what had happened in the few hours since our last encounter, but I only asked one so I could leave and collect myself for next time. This question was: "How the hell do I get out of here?" If you've forgotten, my tunnel to the material world was now full of lava. And it was hot. As in melt-my-face-off hot. I was sweating like a pig every time I left the rock-cabin. Beirth laughed, then bid me to follow him.

 

Next to the training area was a path through the petrified forest (I'm still amazed at that) that I hadn't seen before. We followed it for a few minutes, and came to a clearing. In the center of the clearing was an obsidian structure that seemed to grow out of the ground. For all I knew, it might have. It was a giant loop, similar to those ribbons you see people wear around for Breast Cancer or to remember the troops. The space in the center of the loop had a purple glow. It reminded me so much of Minecraft I had to laugh.

 

After explaining to Beirth why I was laughing at his artwork (He was kind of hurt), I bid him farewell, and he did so to me in return, also asking me to come back soon so we can discuss putting me on a training regimen. After all, I had said myself that we're both sharing the same body in the material world.

 

So, I must say he was really industrious last night! He decided on a voice and a shape and everything! I'll be sure to ask how he figured it all out tonight when I go back. I would also like to hear any new names someone might have for this place, as Paradise Fall doesn't seem like such a fitting name anymore.

Just a short visit last night. Apparently starting a sparring match with me is his way of saying hello. Oh well, at least my (imaginary) reflexes should get sharper.
