Confusion continues; poor Sara is in for a mind-fucking ride and no mind magic involved...

BTW: Ellis, forever the oportunist, just couldn't let this one slide, I just love his last line.

Yup. That confused look on her face may freeze there for a few weeks.

On an odder note, this may be the first adventuring party most of us have seen where everyone does exercise routines iin the morning. Sarine can deliberately choose to bond with Sara by teaching her the original Ensirgim training style and it wouldn't surprise me if Jon's Gewehr exercises (plus the marksmenship drills) were related to Ensirgim drill.

Remember that charm Meji used to stop people from thinking it was weird when Ellis talked?

Think that's still in place?

Not a chance.

I'm left wondering what kind of payment Ellis can provide...

Did he skim off from Meji's family during the years? Will he provide sexual favors? Hairballs?

That's up for debate as he asked what forms of payment she accepts, meaning Ellis probably doesn't have any money as such...

Considering that Ellis is a flying hairball, not much other than comic relief. :-3

Ellis' main perceived value is as a tracker for Meji. A Meji homer, if you will. Even that, is not at all certain.

Sara's expression reminds of a Terry Pratchet book...

Quote:
"Oh. Do you think there's anything to eat in this forest?"

"Yes," said the wizard bitterly, "us."

"I've got some acorns, if you like," said the tree helpfully.

They sat in damp silence for some moments.

"Rincewind, the tree said-"

"Trees can't talk," snapped Rincewind. "It's very important to remember that."

"But you just heard-"

Rincewind sighed. "Look," he said. "It's all down to simple biology isn't it? If you're going to talk you need the right equipment, like lungs and lips, and-"

"Vocal cords," said the tree.

"Yeah, them," said Rincewind. He shut up and stared gloomily at the rain.


To Sara, this cat can't possibly be talking. It defies many, many aspects of day-to-day speech!

Considering her situation she may well just chalk it up to crazy elven/big brother weirdness at first.

Also remember Ellis has tried to sell Meiji to a child prostitution ring so he may well actually have some things laid away for a rainy day (cash, gems, favours).

Well, Sara is a mage, so she may know something about this, especially if Ensigerum looked up what Tsuiraku can do, since they support Veracia and even if their involvement in Mage-Priest Wars is not clear, it would've still been wise for them to know their enemy regardless.

Thank you. Thank you for that wonderfully delicious Sara/Ellis image you just conjured up in my mind. Now get me some new underwear.

Huh. Well, the Gewher are a time-and-situation corrupted version of archaic Farrel mercenary-guilds, and I can readily believe that the archaic Farrel mercenary-guilds were a time-and-situation corrupted version of even more archaic Elven organized-human-meat-shields that didn't get included in the secret plan to become a community of magical ninjas. Or were given the oppurtunity, said 'nuts to that', and decided to try their hands at fuedalism. So... yeah, maybe.

Or maybe they're an entirely human creation... Heaven forbid that Humanity actually when out there and came up with something new by themselves... :roll:

Sara has been with Jon and Sarine two days, at least. She's probably had an earful of Ellis already and somewhat of a view of their slightly whack relationship. Limited, not so much by their strangeness, as hers. She's spent years in a monastary, after all.

When she gloms on to Jon's relationship to Meji--as a baby sister substitute--that could prove interesting.

He's a cat. "Kill this guy, and I'll let you stroke my fur for an hour. Just remember: Head to tail, not tail to head."

I dunno; quarks, protons, photons, etc. :-P

Smartassed comments aside, time magic is a good candidate. Elves don't know about it and neither do half-elves or other human mages. Current evidence shows it to be a strictly human invention. However, humans learned the basics of magic from the elves.

.... I want to say something involving tree syrup, but the scars deeply etched into my central neural tissue just started bleeding again for some unforeseeable reason. Makes no sense really that my brain would briefly seize up like that, since I've read worst on this forum.

Obviously we need to start up the mind-raping initiations again. People are getting soft.
