Mundane FINALLY wrote up a proper info post for him

[dovahkitty]

You're a lazy one, aren't you? How long has it been since we first met?

*pause*

How come you don't have anything on the Legion written?

...Right, not really done. And that'll take you two more months at this rate. And you make Uncle Nelis sound kind of...not...sane. I'm glad you finally came up with a family name for him, though.

Hey, Mun? Why is there so much focus on my flaws?

Flaws make for a more interesting character. If the character is perfect or at least with only minor flaws they aren't someone the audience can just get behind.

[dovahkitty]

Well, I know I'm not perfect...

*He tugs at a leather strap on his Thieves' Guild gauntlet, his tail giving a flick.*

[cheese_for_everyone]

Considering the reception you received from Ulfric it is even more than that. I expected a little better out of him.

[You're talking to a man who became a Daedric Lord. He isn't the model of perfect moral fiber either.]

[dovahkitty]

I didn't handle myself well from the beginning. Given that and the state of his city, I can't say I was surprised.

*He finally seems satisfied with the tightness of his left glove and instead busies his hand with the strap of his pack.* ...Thanks for stepping in back there. It's good to hear people have that sentiment.

*Even if the person saying it...well. Ma'sud gets the impression that Sheogorath here approaches him as a fellow adventurer more than as the Madgod.*

[cheese_for_everyone]

Let's just say I wasn't looked at very kindly myself even before I came into touch with Daedra.

So it is no problem even though I doubt he took my statement to heart.

[dovahkitty]

*Ma'sud nods thoughtfully.*

...You said you were an Argonian?

[cheese_for_everyone]

Yes though bein' a daedric lord, particularly of madness does make things a bit confusing.

That is to say I am aware that I am not the only Sheogorath and you are not the only Dragon-born.

[dovahkitty]

At least it's not so insane here, to call the world as we know it a 'save', or to know that no two are exactly alike. This place is different from where we come from... I mean, we shouldn't even know our mundanes exist, normally.

[cheese_for_everyone]

And then there was the event of your data being set back. Now that was an interesting experiment even if it wasn't meant to be one.

[dovahkitty]

It was... It's strange, knowing there was another way things could have gone, but not knowing the experience anymore. As if someone else was living my life for a while. I'm glad I don't feel that way, uh...normally.

*Wow, this is kind of insane. Maybe Ulfric was right about something. He didn't seem to be too aware of their canon as a canon...for a moment, he'd slipped into that mode, too, in response. But then, was that because Ulfric was never a variable, like he and Sheogorath were? (Of course not, it was mun preference, but that was too far from the fourth wall, honestly.)*

[cheese_for_everyone]

So is your mun planning to pit you against vampires? It is something everyone seems very excited for.

[dovahkitty]

Someday, maybe. I'm not sure yet. It's sure to be interesting. A battle for sunlight itself. *He shakes his head slowly, gaze turned up. It's still hard to wrap his mind around.*

[cheese_for_everyone]

It does sound interesting. However I do have a certain fondness for certain members of the vampiric inclination.

[dovahkitty]

I don't know many vampires, myself. I could have been one, though, if I didn't figure out what I'd caught in time.

[cheese_for_everyone]

There is one within the Dark Brotherhood though you're not one of the Dragon-borns who will join their ranks I imagine.

[dovahkitty]

The war making killing easier for me doesn't mean I enjoy it.

[cheese_for_everyone]

It was certainly not something enjoyable for myself either and it still really isn't but some things do have to be done.

Though if I were you I would suggest doing SOMETHING about the Dark Brotherhood at some point. They do have a contract regarding you if memory serves.

[dovahkitty]

*They do, somehow. Ma'sud wonders who could have taken it out on him but he suspects he'll never actually know.*

Other than trying to keep stronger than their assassins?

[cheese_for_everyone]

Of course, every organization has leaders. Leaders that can be gotten rid of.

[dovahkitty]

If I ever have that opportunity, I'll...I'll take it.

[cheese_for_everyone]

Well haven't you heard any rumors regarding them?

[dovahkitty]

I'm afraid I haven't. It's not a subject I think I could safely ask about on the street.

[cheese_for_everyone]

Well people do talk. I don't want to give you hints on your adventure since that isn't my purpose but make sure you talk to people in taverns about rumors.

[dovahkitty]

I almost always do. I guess I'm sure to figure something out eventually.

[cheese_for_everyone]

I'm surprised you haven't heard anything then. I've been watching my mun go around with his character and I know you find out about this rumor very early on if you ask around about rumors.

[dovahkitty]

I might have heard about it and forgotten...

*He pulls his journal from his pack - it's a mess. Notes falling out from between pages, scribbles and notations everywhere, some items have an X or are stricken through. After a while, he closes it again.*

I don't have anything.

[cheese_for_everyone]

Hm well I can't give you the piece of information now. Well unless both our mundane's give the go-ahead but I believe your mundane would know about this quest.

[dovahkitty]

I'm sure she does... Maybe I'll figure it out on my own.

*A pause. He glances at the tip of the Wabbajack sticking out of his pack.* Oh, I meant to ask you something. Do your followers like the possibility of being hurt or killed by magic?

*Guess who thought better about selling it and putting it into the general economy?*

[cheese_for_everyone]

[Huh that's pretty good, he expected he'd like the item.]

Depends on who you ask. Every individual is different, every mental disorder is different.

Some would be dead afraid of that thing others would welcome it.

[dovahkitty]

*It's not a matter of wanting to use it so much as it is wanting to know where it is.*

All I know is this one somehow found me on the back road to Winterhold and wouldn't stop pleading with me to use it on her.

[cheese_for_everyone]

Hmm well I don't know what she wanted out of it.

Maybe she was thinking that perhaps it would make a change that she wanted rather than a random change?

She might of just wanted to be a sweet roll though.

[dovahkitty]

*That gets a snort of almost-laughter.* I gave in before she drove me insane. It turned her into a rabbit. Hopefully she won't report me once she's lucid.

[cheese_for_everyone]

Perhaps then it was a convoluted exit to the conflict you will eventually be even more involved in?

[dovahkitty]

The conflict... Which conflict?

[cheese_for_everyone]

That is the question isn't it? I really don't know. It was just a guess.

[dovahkitty]

I should have guessed.

*Sometimes he forgets who he's talking to.*

[cheese_for_everyone]

It isn't the madness this time honestly. I just don't know why that girl wanted to be something other than whatever race she was.

[masterofdhara]

A talking feline? How intriguing.

[dovahkitty]

You've never seen a Khajiit?

[masterofdhara]

Khajiit? So that's what your kind is called.

[ No, he hasn't seen anything like Ma'sud until now. ]

[dovahkitty]

*Ma'sud hasn't yet encountered anyone who doesn't match a race found on Nirn, so he assumes everyone's from the same planet.*

Where do you come from? I thought Khajiiti trade caravans travel wherever they can.
