Dear Mr Curly,
I have done little travelling lately because I have been so dreadfully weary. Can it be true as the old Ecclesiastes said; that all things lead to weariness? Surely not. Perhaps the opposite is true: that all nothings lead to weariness. I have a peculiar feeling, Curly, that I am worn out from something I haven't yet done and the more I don't do it, the more exhausted I become. How strange. Could it be something I haven't realised? Perhaps it's something I haven't said? Something I haven't finished! It must be very large and true whatever it is and a lively struggle in the doing but I look forward to it immensely. I know I need it. First, however, I must curl up in my chair and sleep deeply with the duck. Perhaps I'll dream of this thing and wake up refreshed and do it. My fond wishes to you Mr. Curly, and to all Curly Flat.
Yours sleepily,
Vasco Pyjama

P.S. Not having breakfast can make you weary. That's for sure!

@Lauder You've instead somehow given me the mental image of Keriss tossing a capybara in the air, catching it in her throat, and swallowing it whole. It was badass for exactly five seconds, then...well, you try thinking about it.
So I've been training kickboxing with a couple guys lately, one of them is a master but often gets into street fights and stuff and the other one is a guy so strong and huge he's called The Monster.

I sparred against the Monster and I nearly fuckin died, wow

I got hit so hard on the head that I almost got knocked out


Geez. Are you going to get yourself checked out for concussion?
Gallus snorted in response to the comment on his appearance. "Didn't stop you, Ri'vashi."

Talk of this Nazaklim piqued Gallus interest. The last detail in particularade Gallus raise his eyebrows. "Really?" He said in a high voice. "Don't tell me he's got past your defenses?" His grin continued. "All this desk work has made you sloppy, clan leader. Or..." His voice lowered to a daring murmur. "You might have just met your match."
@Double Capybara I'm not sure if early hain Slough worship needs a creation sheet. 'Shamanism,' in that case, is an umbrella term for decentralised nature worship. Nothing with any significance that I'm going to attach to with my stuff. If anyone wants to expand on hain Slough worship, be my guest, but it can otherwise die out as other beliefs spread, no problem.

Also, now that you mention fetiche, I can't help but think of...

The associated video is a grey area in terms of safety for work, I think. It's hilarious anyway.
I was reminded of a few things while reading that post >_>
@Lauder Until a few months back, we would select one god in our cast to be the subject of feature posts that show a little way in which they've impacted the world. It started as feature 'week', but not everyone had time for a feature post a week, especially when big plotlines got rolling, so it turned into a feature indeterminate-amount-of-time. The posts were mostly little scenes that didn't follow onto anything or forwarded plots much. They were just a bit of fun.

Being that I made the hain race, my feature posts were just little short stories of how a particular hain community has been affected by a god's actions or influences. I even made a super special post header that's since been coopted for the Yorum storyline.
Gallus exaggerated his own coy response, speaking with from a round mouth with his fingers raised. "Well, as it happens, my eyes are working very well as well, perhaps not with as much darkness as you, but I am trying." He laughed though his nose and returned to sincerity. "No, since Sephy and Olivia made their feelings about my behaviour clear when I came back, I've started to practice what I learned since Elsweyr. I've not been...leading people on anymore. Not when I know it's not going to work out. So far, that's only been with one woman, but I doubt she'll be the last." He opened a hand. "Well, it would be two if I include you. You fit that category as well, I suppose."

Gallus lifted his shoulders in a deep breath and exhaled with a considering hum. He didn't seem so sure of himself until he returned his attention to Ri'vashi. "So!" He leaned forward on one fist, elbow on the table and his other hand on his hip. He ignored any notion of stress reducing Ri'vashi's chances. "Have either of them expressed interest in you?" He showed half his teeth in a poorly stifled grin. "I didn't know you were interested in Argonians."
Hey, they're going to have trouble, sure. They are tiny birds. It just so happens that they were created with a homing capability and a magic siphon. Not everything is going to be like that.

And hey, maybe Keriss will be a little less angsty now that another one of the senpais gods have noticed her.

@Dawnscroll If you're going to a place with lots of flies, bring a tea towel as it makes them easier to wave away! I can't really give much extra advice without knowing the exact places you're headed, but if they're diamond mines, chances are there'll be flies?

I bet those spies are having fun in that ash storm


They don't breathe, mang :^)

It's too late at night for me to adapt girls_laughing.jpg to Toun and Teknall's faces, so I'm just going to leave you with that mental image. This may be partially canon, too, due to droningbirds.

Speaking of which, Keriss can consider herself stalked by one of the little cutesy spies as well, now that she's back.
