''Hey Gardy.'' Klesiah stood near him. ''Would you be willing to tell us about your daughter, Devona? Tales from ancient times sound fascinating.'' Your blue knight turned to observe your group for a second. ''We can return to our crow nest tomorrow; think you've got enough material to entertain us for today?''
''I...'' Gardy hesitated. ''...am not a storyteller.''
''You told me you've got a near-perfect memory, right?'' You interject, and he nods. ''You can describe what you see through that mental window; I'm interested too.''
Gardy stubbornness was only ironclad for a few select subjects.
'' My first meeting... It was when I awoke. A Mindflayer assassin -some unholy mutant from a Pretender not of this world- had snuck into Devona palace to extinguish humanity's only chance at ascension...''
''Hold that thought.'' Sieglinde suddenly interrupted. ''I'll fetch a few maids to clean this place; we need food and directions to the nearest bathroom.''
Thus, an hour-long visit changed into an entire day of storytelling. Seeing the good maids of the Throne again was a great bonus; alas, the opportunity of putting Sieglinde into their uniform will have to happen some other time...

I'll end our thread on this good note, and now's time for a little announcement. I'm not going to stop writing or anything that dramatic. My main problem with being consistent right now is that my passion and attention are funneled by another project I can't keep out of my head.
Put simply, I need to rekindle my love of fantasy and ToM. I've been working on original soft scifie settings for the past few years, but I'm still determining if I'm confident in pulling that off... and it'll be a colossal endeavor anyway. Instead, I've been hesitating between doing a side story in this ToM setting I know and love or doing a short quest set in Battletech, the main obsession funneling my inspiration.
Either way, both ideas should only last 3-5 threads or something like that. I'm giving myself the next three weeks to prep and figure out what I want to write.
