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!

Proposal: Give demi-gods double the might, or at least some extra might, so they are not affected by these really long turns.

Of course, that only applying to the demis who are played as main characters, not to the ones god players have.


With how long the turns are, I can see this being an issue. I would be willing to give the base might of main PC demis a boost depending on what they want to do with it.

@BBeast, @Antarctic Termite? Thoughts?
@Muttonhawk It's just that when your average post goes over the 50k character mark it feels weird to write something on the 30k mark.


Trust me when I say that, at that quantity, just go with what's needed instead of worrying about getting a novel out. The notion of post size really blurs out at that point.

Take it from someone who's committed probably too much need-for-quantity into the Yorum stuff. Speaking of which, I should probably work on that some more now that I'm over the public transport sickness that plagued me this week :S
@Slime It was not too short, nor too long. It was exactly the length it needed to be.
Talk of the tower and logical paradoxes drew Sabine well and truly out of her area of understanding. She still could not decide whether Neesa was speaking the truth, even if it was meant to make sense in the first place. Of course, Sabine saw no reason that Neesa would make up so absurd a lie unless she was insane. Perhaps that was another possibility all along. Sabine remained quiet either way.

"Well," Lunise said, clearly tiring of the subject. "Best of luck with your future apotheosis, Hal-Neesa. I am almost certain we shall be calling upon you for the invasion before that happens. Now, unless you are not done gawking at Sabine's curiosity like a hungry fox, I believe you have everything you need for your stay."
I'd also like to add that due to a certain chaos god, every few mortals on Galbar is capable of Astarte's soul magic. This hasn't yet been really developed, but you could use it as a launching off point to start manifesting wizardliness into the world.
How many times have I looked in this, questioning myself as I see these people with fantastical posts and magnificent writing. I even made a character before losing my nerve. But now, now I will. Now, I feel I could do it. And it's all I can get BBeast in these days, since no more dungeon keeper.


Do it! We're still here, lurking around, being too ambitious for our own good. New characters are always fun :)
Neesa's turn in speech left the rest of them in silence. For a moment, it felt as though their business for now was complete. However, Sabine remained cautiously curious.

As the others shuffled to start walking, Sabine stepped up beside Neesa. "The ones that failed to seek CHIM, who were they?" She asked sincerely.

Lunise turned her face away from Neesa for a moments and betrayed a twinge of genuine worry by the way her lips and brow tightened. She gave Meesei a look that likely spoke the exact same things that Meesei was thinking with regards to Neesa's capabilities. Every detail they learnt about the ancient vampire only presented more risks for them.
As much effort as Lunise was putting in to hide her negative feelings from the much more powerful Neesa, she could not help but roll her eyes at the arrogance the vampire was incessantly piling on.

Meanwhile, all that Neesa claimed suddenly grew a degree of believability to Sabine as she watched the Dwemer spider. Even that simple set of what she guessed were commands were nothing she, nor any Dwemer scholars in the clan, had ever seem before. She spoke up as curiosity overtook any sense of her own insolence. "What do you intend on doing with it?"
Mention of Vivec set Sabine's mind whirring. She was deep in thought while the others tried to process what Neesa had to say.

"I read about that somewhere," Sabine said quietly. "CHIM. It was in an old Tribunal book from Morrowind. I never knew what it meant until now. Those were living gods." Pieces fit together until they caused visible realisation on Sabine's face. "You want to become like they were? But they...or it was only Vivec, but he..." She sighed. "I never read that far into the history."

As Sabine trailed off, Lunise once again chimed in low and unsure. "Perhaps, then, you might tell us how this how it all relates to this creation?" She pointed down at the spider.
Sabine was ambivalent about the looks she was receiving. The conversation was moving along too much for her to address it, much less ask Neesa while she elaborated on Talos.

"I...do not understand." Sabine glanced between Meesei and Neesa. "What was the display of power to do with that sermon? Was it when the emperor had reached jungles in Pelletine?"

Lunise drew Sabine's attention by answering with a hint of frustration. "According to legend, Cyrodiil was not always the pleasant temperate stretch that it is today, that it used to be a vast jungle. Legends say Emperor Tiber Septim changed the very land."

Sabine peered down. "That would...I do not know how that could be possible."

"Well, you at least have one before you who claims that anything is possible," Lunise said with a sarcastic wave of her hand. "Though something tells me that the human who turned into Talos did not have to spend era after era researching how to become a god."
