The style of her clothes is familiar - If you're drunk and squint a little she looks like Lulu from FFX.

Just want to mention for those people who bring the up the 2000 years ago bit, and then conclude that Meji could therefore not be Sarines child. Two possible counters.

1) We don't know the Gestation period for an elf in this dimension.

2) Half Elfs probably have big life spans if normal elves live for eternity unless removed from life by unatural means.

Plus i also think the theory brought up a while ago about long life spans leading to insanity for those without full elven heritage lends credability to the long life span suggestion. That kinda explains some Errants going mad. Anyway just the thoughts of a pirate.

"Hey! It's the little children and kittens donation girl!"

SHIT! IT IS!! XDXDXD

Why did I not notice that till now? Gah...

As for the 2000 year thing....um...nyah. :P :D true, we don't know, but if I was 2000 years old and I looked kinda like I'd just left puberty, I'd be well pissed off. XD

This has been discussed before but since you weren't here just go look on the main ES page.On the paypal button you will see meji there.Apprantly poe has been kicking ES around in his head for a while since meji was in the paypal button since EN.

EDIT:Grammar

Since fairly early in EN too if I remember right.

And I remember seeing the Feh... at the bottom for a LONG time but I never thought it was a button.

It's probably been kicking around in his head since before Bimbo and Ralph stopped being a part of EN.

Me want bush... and Bush too for that matter.

Ok nappy time for the tired delusional one.

I dunno; I know he called the entire "I Used to Believe..." part a prologue, but when I saw the "2000 years later" bit I sort of assumed that he was actually straddling the main events of the story, showing both what preceded them AND what was going to happen after the main story ended. Because no matter how little we know about elven gestation times, I doubt it takes *quite* that long.

So it seems to me that what we'll be seeing now in Chapter 1 is actually pretty early on in Sarine's daughter's life, probably no more than a few hundred years (if that) after the first part of the prologue with Meji's dad in it. (Yes, I do think Meji is Sarine's daughter.)

Just my two cents; hadn't seen anyone else advance this theory, so I figured what the hell.

That wouldn't make sense to flash forward, than back... You're thinking of flashing back, than forward.

I believe that Meji never left her child form, but has the same power as a adult elf mage. Or maybe her powers were so strong she could conceal her true form, but I don't want to make too many wild guesses.

As I see it, the 2000 years is still only part of the prologue.

Therefore, Meji is NOT Sarine's daughter. Sarine's daughter, for one thing, would not be speaking like an average-level-of-intelligence high school gal, for one thing. Also, there is no evidence to support Sarine being evil. (Since I believe Derren did kill those girls, I also believe Sarine was justified in killing him.) Meji is obviously more than a little nuts. (I refer thee to her FPL char sheet for proof . . .) So, in conclusion, I do not believe the two are related any more. I did before ES actually started, but not anymore.

Most likely, this part of the story will be unconnected to Sarine's little prologue for now, but eventually the two stories will tie together somehow.

Yeah, Poe's been kicking around at least the character concepts for the ES folks for quite a while it seems. I've seen art that was put in the gallery well before EN was over, and is characters based (at least Meji, can't remember if he did a Sarine and some others) on them for the FPL were done wayyyyss back.

Opening a story with a flashback to a time prior to the main plot and immediately cutting to flashforward to a time after the climax is an interesting concept. It establishes a focus in the story on the character's journey from the former state to the latter. However, as it limits the flexibility (for example, if Poe gave us a flashforward, then he would be establishing an expectation that would be difficult to break if in the future he decided to take the story in a different direction than he originally planned) and suspense of the story, it might be considered unwise from a narrative view-point.

My personal theory is that the prologue brought us up to date, that Meji is in school 2000 years after the first scene and that the tavern scene takes place in the present.

Normally I would offer some logical argument to support my opinion on the matter, but.. being tired and having been studying all day, I'm just going say, "Why the hell don't we all just wait a few days and see what comes up before we start bringing up the same points over and over as if they mean more because we repeated them?"
