I'm Tobias Kefer. I'm the person these two guys are talking about. Since they have no idea what's going on with me and are doing a terrible of job of narrating, I figure I better just take over and get things set straight for you the reader. Hey! We resemble that remark. How come you get to explain everything to everyone. Isn't that the job of the narrator(s)? Yes it is, but since you two don't know half of what's going on I thought I would step in before this becomes some strange mess that needs some cleaning up. Serious cleaning up at this rate. We can do the job, it's just that it's our first time doing this and we aren't entirely sure how to begin and where to go with this. That's okay, I understand, but sometimes the narrator needs to be quiet and at all times the narrator needs to know everything about everyone and know what's going on at all times. What kind of narrator(s) would you be if you didn't know the ins and outs of everything going on in the story. Seriously? So why don't I self narrate for a little bit and you guys can fill in the gaps? Does that sound like a plan or not? Silence......Thinking........Grbgrbgrbgrbgrb.......Whispering.......Conversing........Discussing........I think you have a deal.....under one condition if you don't mind? Let me hear it and we will see. That we reserve the right to jump back in when appropriate and add to the story as needed. We figure while you are telling your part we can take some time and do some research and get the other background information that you don't know about ready for the appropriate time. How does that sound to you? Acceptable. I think we have a deal. Great we'll get out of your hair and move along and allow you to tell what you need to tell. We will be watching and keeping an eye on you. No funny business now and keep it honest and don't slander us. We're doing the best we can as first timers. We just need a little more time to develop our background info. Will do. Enjoy the break and the time doing your research. We will!
As I said before, I'm Tobias Kefer. I live in the house they told you about and one thing you don't know as of yet is that I go out every morning before I eat to come to this tree and enjoy some quiet time watching the sunrise and enjoying the view. I watch the boats come in and marvel at the wonder that God made all around us. Usually I arrive well before sunrise and don't eat until I get back. This morning is a bit unusual since this ship is trying to outrun the storm and if not it appears to be bringing it along with it.

Writing Exercise Part 2
Well we are back again. It's about time. I was beginning to wonder if we would ever get back to writing since we had the breakthrough and found out the information about what's going on. What too you so long? Hmm? Well I've been busy...now wait a minute. What are you going on about? You were there and you know how busy things have been. Leave me be and I will explain what's going on. Deal? I guess so. Deal.
As I was starting to say, we are back again and we have some new updates as to what was missing in the last post. We found out that the person is Tobias Kefer. He lives a little over a mile away from the edge of this cliff in a nice two story log cabin house. The house is in a very deciduous forest full of pines, cedars, spruce and many other evergreens. The forest of trees goes from the edge of the cliff several miles in all directions away from the coast and along the coast. Due to the forest and it's location his house is well hidden and hardly ever visited. He likes his isolation, but does go down to the nearest port for supplies occasionally. The port is the only one on the south side of this land and it's called Kuraba. In the bay of Sactickph on the southern side of the land.
That's a strange name. So is the guys name. Whoever heard of the name Tobias or Sactickph? Where did you come up with these names? Hmm? Well if you must know? Yes I must know this is getting a little strange. I did the research while you were away so don't give me any lip! Do you hear me? Yes, but...But nothing. You were out and I found out about the port, its name and his name and the rest of the information. If you weren't out then you would know this too and not be questioning me about it. Now would you? No, I guess I wouldn't. So let me tell what's going on and if you want you can do some more of the research next time. Fine.
We are currently facing east and watching the sunrise over the ocean, which is one of his favorite things to do in the morning. Get out to the cliff edge before the sun comes up and watch it rise from his view point on the top of the tree. The rock/boulder will have to stay a mystery as we have yet to ascertain the reason, origin and how it got to be there. But since there are storm clouds out there they are slowly swallowing up the sunrise and creating some very red skies right now. The ship appears to be either trying to outrun the storm clouds, which are brandishing the occasional lightning or it's bring the storm right along with it. Pulling it along you might say. The storm clouds are definitely following the ship in to land fall. From what I could make out the ship is a sloop/schooner with a 5 man crew.
Tobias is climbing down from the tree and taking his leave of the scene to head back the way he came. Home. It's time to break his fast and continue his day. A ship and storm clouds are of no importance to him or have any bearing on his day. He lives alone and likes it that way. He is planning to head to the port in a few days for more supplies, but other than that he is going about his business as usual.
Well are you satisfied with the results of my research? Yes it was satisfactory. When will we know more and what else is there? I 'm not sure right now, but I do believe there will be more to come soon.

Writing Exercise
Why exactly am I doing this? 'Cause I need to develop my writing and it's a good...Wait a minute! Did you say develop? What are we developing? I meant to say grow. Now what are we growing? This sounds very suspicious! Okay, let's just say that it's a writing exercise. Wait how can we exercise our writing? It's not like a muscle or something is it? I thought that it was just words put on paper or in this case words put to a screen? Besides, who writes anymore? Isn't it all just regurgitate words over again? Nothing original, just someone else's thoughts, rehashed?
No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Look it's even in the title of this post "Writing Exercise"! How do you explain that? Listen, calm down and let me do what needs to be done. All this bickering is getting us nowhere and we are going there faster than I care to go. How can we go nowhere fast when nowhere is actually nowhere, so technically it's impossible to get there and we can't get there any faster at any point in time? Okay, okay. I concede. Your questions have hounded me enough to throw in the towel and surrender. It's a writing exercise to see what's in my head and to put it to words to see what comes of it. Maybe I will find a novel in all this mess that runs around in my head or maybe I won't. That's for me to find out and for you to just let me get there on my on. Can you be satisfied with that explanation and just leave me alone for now? Sure that sounds acceptable. No guarantee I won't come back to visit sometime later on, though. That will just suit me fine, as long as you can let me be right now so I can see what's rolling around in my head. Now that we have that out of the way, let's see where we go from here.
There was a time....No that's not how to start. It was a dark and stormy night....too cliche. Where do I begin....how about in the beginning and then go from there? In the beginning has been done before, too. Just saying.
I'm going back to "There was a time" and start with that.
There was a time. Maybe in the future or maybe in the past, it all depends on when you are reading this. So there was a time that a man appeared. He showed up on top of a rock that was on top of a very tall deciduous (pine or cedar can't make it out from here) tree that was on the edge of a forest that happened to be on a very tall cliff over looking the sea. Which sea, we don't know from this vantage point either, but if you've seen one sea you've seen them all. It's all salt water anyway. Now we aren't sure where this man came from either since our view is a little obstructed and there are a lot of trees in a forest. Also we don't exactly know how the boulder came to be on top of the tree either. There's a lot to be taken at face value for right now until we can get some better information. We shall see if we can get any better information shortly, but since this is all we know this is all you get for know. Stay tuned for updates. In the mean time, what I can tell you is that this gentleman, well let's call him a person since we don't know his general disposition, is staring out to sea at two things, okay maybe three things. One is the sun either rising or setting. We don't know which since we just got here ourselves, only moments ahead of you the reader. Two is a ship on the water. Can't tell what kind, 'cause it's too far away. Three is some very nasty storm clouds near the ship. Don't know if they are coming or going either. You know for a narrator/writer you certainly don't know a lot about this event, or scene or moment, do you? Well do you? No. Okay then, don't quibble with me right now, it's not helpful. For now, just know that this is what we have to work with and more will be coming. I still need to track down this persons' origin and place of residence. Since we need more information we will leave it here for know and come back to fill in more blanks as soon as we can.
