HELP, DERVS, I'VE GOTTEN INTO THE RUM AGAIN
WittyReference said
In other news, I was reading on pack mentality stuff for Cub and I think I have it nailed down pretty well. If you ever wondered what the Big Guy in Green would think of your character, here's a good indication. Note these may fluctuate once we actually meet up but Cub being an instinctual creature, this works for now.
We'll see about that Sevari position some day, Cub.
Somewhere in Hammerfell, 12 Rain’s Hand
Francis drained the last remaining drops from the waterskin before tossing it back to Vendel. It had been quite the trek, and with nothing to show for it, it may have well been a thousand years compared to its actual mere days. It was a certain kind of loose-limbed limbo that Francis had fallen into the last few miles. Neither of the two had eaten anything but dried meat strips for quite some time and they were burning much more energy than what the strips gave them. Vendel sighed very audibly, Francis took the hint and looked to his friend, whose arms raised to his sides with a shrug.
“Complaining?” Francis questioned, though it sounded more like a statement.
“Yes. I’m not going to beat around the bush with it. I’m much too tired for wit, Francis, I am complaining. We may die out here before we can even start your grand adventure, you Gods damned fool. I should have drug you back to Wayrest, kicking and screaming.” Vendel told his friend, pointedly.
“I know that you mean that-”
“Yes, I do, Francis.”
Francis continued without acknowledging the interruption, “I know that you mean that, friend, but there must be some kind of hunting prowess between the two of us. We could try our hands at trapping. Rabbit tastes good enough, does it not?”
“Francis, your delusions and denial are becoming more obvious by the day, as fast as they are growing intolerable. You are my friend, I don’t want you to be unhappy, but neither do I want you dead.” Vendel said, shaking his head in exasperation before continuing to walk the direction they had been.
“Vendel, I know that you care-”
“Yes, I do, Francis. I do care, I care about your sister. Someone ought to, between the two of us! Who do you think you are? You haven’t taken your sister into account these past days. I thought we may head back to Rihad. Francis, as much as I want you to follow what you think you need to do, I must follow your sister’s wishes and return you to Wayrest after our mission is complete,” Vendel let it sink in for a moment, “Our mission is accomplished. It has been accomplished for days before now, Francis. You grow too selfish these days.”
Francis heard those words hit his ears, and then they sliced into his very soul like a rapier through his chest. All of this time, and it took his best friend to tell him something he should have been thinking about, something that should have been at the forefront of his mind this entire time. He had been selfish, hadn’t he? His sister would probably slap him for such selfishness. He’d probably welcome it too, it had been a long time since he had been able to hug Annaliese. He wondered how much growing a person could do in two years. He wanted to find out. Francis swallowed hard, more out of emotion than dehydration, though the latter was very bothering.
“I will cut you a deal, Vendel.” Francis spoke, only loud enough for Vendel to hear.
“If this some foolish thing you’re hoping I’ll receive with open arms, Francis…”
“Rest assured, my friend, we’re both proving ourselves fools each day with the things we choose to undertake,” Francis let go of a small laugh at his lips that curled them into a smile, he raised his hand towards his friend, reaching, so as to catch his full attention, “We head North to Helgathe. We’ll end up meeting the Heroes there. I have a feeling that there is where they will be. If they are not there when we are, if there are no whispers of their presence, then we will continue north. We will go back to Wayrest.”
Francis stood with pleading eyes, hoping that this compromise would ease the tension between the two. It seemed like they were walking tightropes with every word they spoke to each other. One miniscule miscalculation and their relationship would fall to the abyssal depths below. Francis had to respect Vendel for even offering to come with him, he knew how much it pained him to be away from home, probably because it pained Francis as well. It was only that there was a calling to him that beckoned him forth just that much stronger than the call to home. Francis hoped the Gods didn’t see him as foolish. He knew Vendel did, and his opinions mattered more than any God’s. Francis’s eyes bade forgiveness and agreement.
“Fine.” Vendel said, simply.
Francis smiled then. North they went, and had been going for some time now.

Better make that three, soon.

We settle this like men tonight, comrade Fritz.
Ja. Spoils go to die victor, mein Freund.

I'll have to add both you and Witty, I forgot to last night. D:Hell yes! Soul is the man. Soon, you'll be doing that dating thing and ruling over your College with a iron... gold... platinum! fist. You're gonna go far.Better shoot you a few times tonight in RO2 so your ego doesn't inflate too much. My Moist Nugget is hungry for blood. I DO have Borderlands 2! Dibs on Mechromancer. You guys up for game time tomorrow?
My ego is made of mithril worked by Dwarven smiths right now.

Much jelly. So success.
Much Happy. Very Gratitude. Oh Wow. Such Great Wow

Congrats, Soul; that's fantastic! I know you mentioned expanding your portfolio so hearing the pieces you have already are getting such recognition bodes damn well :D
Thanks, man! And yea, I am so very excited to present in front of an audience of my peers and very esteemed superiors. I'm eager to see just how far I can get with this. WHo knows, you guys might pick up a novel of mine and finally know what my IRL name is!

So I'm sitting here at work thinking of something clever to say to Nosoul, and a friend/coworker of mine walks in with a strange collection of connected pipe in his hands about 3 feet long. He pulls one section of pipe out of the brass sleeve portion and I immediately know what it is. He made a 12 gauge zip gun in our employers workshop.The magic of New Mexico.
My uncle worked in a workplace that dealt heavily with plastics and composites. He once made a fully-functional crossbow. He's a pretty radical uncle.

That takes some courage boss2... the whole campus though? Idk what I'd do... but for ye, here's a picture!(Funniest one using the phrase congrats I could find/attempt to find >_>]
Thanks, Cairo. I'll take that .gif and go to great heights with it. You're a rad dude, Cairo.
I usually just do odd jobs and fuck around. I need to get my character some new clothes. Anytime you guys want to play, send a request, DuddyD671.
Overall had a pretty good day. One of my chick-friends told me she'd set me up with her best friend. I was also called by the director of my program and he asked me if I would do a reading of one of my essays to the entirety of the College Campus. Or at least a huge portion of it. I still have to talk to him but I think it'll be a really large audience, with a lot of professors and whatnot. I'm so excited, guys, and it's very happy news and a great birthday gift from...like...fate, or something. I just thought I'd share it with you guys.
