Well, I was going to say it was a compliment to be ranking alongside Old Habits Die Hard.... And it is.

We have been gifted with many excellent writers and their creativity of late; I just wish I had more time to read- and to tell each of you how much I like and admire your stories.

The last couple of weeks have been stressful, and like Athlain, that tends to go to my stomach. Fortunately, I have not resorted to his form of a "cure." Although... it was my awareness that many stomach remedies contain opium that gave me the idea of his addiction...

Anyway, here is hoping for a more restful spring- with more time for reading!

Have a question to ask my readers. It is for my main story, and your 'votes' would affect whether or not I include a new character or not. I am posting here in the real life discussion thread for visibility. Normally I go with the 'its my story' curve, but Im completely stuck on whether to do it or not.

Basically I was inspired by the Gatanas Dremora Companion mod by Westly/Princess Stomper and it got me too thinking about a possible companion for Seth.

After visiting Myn Druhr, (No spoilers, but your looking for something in a daedric ruin, yeah, thats not vague.) Seth comes across a Daedric Seducer, not the Mazken from Shivering Isles, the ones from Daggerfall, that dress skimpy to lure prey in, then transform into batwinged she-demons from hell, much like my ex. Ba-Dum-Tish!

General battle ensues, and then as hes about to banish her, she begs for her life and offers to serve him for one hundred years in exchange for mercy.

Curious as to why, it seems she was sent to the mortal realm centuries ago for something and failed, and now if she goes back, shell be tortured for all of eternity, and then does some sort of Daedric Oath spell, or wears a command amulet or something, ill get that later.

She is named Penehipumon, or Pene for short, and her stats would basically be a winged twilight, complemented with ranged spells and the ability to shapeshift, within reason. The main idea is that she is the Raven on the arm mod when passive.

Tell me what you think!

@Blackhand- seems to me that it fits very well with Seth as he is... He tends to do things that (in D&D terms) tend toward the "chaotic."

" 'Why?' Because I felt like it."

And I think it will add some interesting possibilities to the story.

Yup I'm with Treydoy, it fits the character so it just boils down to whether you fancy writing it or not. Nice sig by the way.

And Trey, I empathise on the stomach, it can be rotten being stressed then having another thing on top which is just annoying. Hope things get better.

In my case it's probably more down to the vast quantities of black coffee and dreadful diet I manage to grab while in the midst of exams. It's nice to come by here for a few minutes between learning proofs (quite why I'm meant to know proofs of pure mathematical things I don't know, seeing as all the maths I do is very much applied, its like forcing a mechanic to learn about the alloy his spanner is made from). But I can always think of the coming summer...

My posting may be even slower than usual- the home comp just suffered a serious malfunction. I am hoping it is not so serious as to require a complete restoration- I have no idea where some of my application disks are anymore....

It could be the dreaded McAfee "false positive," which decides SVCHOST.EXE is a terrible trojan and deletes it. Or it could be an actual critter....

In any event, the system gets to the "click on your user name" screen, says "loading your settings," then says "saving your settings." Without ever getting all the way to the desktop.

Tried F8 to get into Safe Mode- it ignored it and went right on to loading Windows normally.

The good news- all of my story is saved on a USB drive- plus my handwritten manuscript. Of course, if I can't get the PC working, I won't be able to play Morrowind... Nope, nope, can't go there- I HAVE to be able to play....

Oh no, you got the dreaded Maxical virus!

It comes from reading too much about a certain kitty. So far only PC's seem to be affected, but I'm waiting for my Mac to get it, too. At least I have a couple of other comps (all Macs) ready to take over.

Hmm, time to back up my Fiction folder before I read any more kitty stories!

ARGH! How do I get the blame? Uh...I feel funny.... [shirt ripping sound] * mALX grew to giant proportions and turned green *

By golly, I bet you're right! It is probably KCCS- Khajiit-Computer-Crashing Syndrome! Unfortunately, the dachshund is too old and toothless to provide proper kitty-proofing of the computer. I may have to invest in a higher-tech solution, such as "Ball o' Yarn 2.0" or maybe a laser pointer.... hmmm.

Actually, the laser pointer can keep me entertained for hours. But I digress. ARGH! ... A large green mALX wearing a tattered shirt was seen stomping down I-40 towards ...


Seriously though Treydog, I hope all is well with you and this flooding. <3

No flooding for us in Sevier County, fortunately. Middle (Nashville) and west TN got hit hard, though.

Some progress on the computer front- I ran a repair install from the XP disk last night. Hit a weird BSOD error that stumped me for a while until I realized what the file name was telling me. Unplugged the USB wireless adapter and the repair install finished- just as I had to leave for work.

So- in about 7 hours, I will find out how bad things are. For all I know, it decided to do an overwrite instead of a repair...

I believe it is time to make good on a promise and buy a copy of Symantec Ghost- and learn how to use it.

Well, I still have all of the story on the jump drive and I can reinstall MW and the expansions if I have to. Fortunately, I was not using many mods- only the official plugins, theunofficial patch, and Better Bodies IIRC.

Until then, there is always Far Cry 2 on the xBox.

GAAAAAAAH! Not Norton!!!!!! ARGH! If you do it, put the Norton Removal Tool on a thumb drive and keep it handy. You may also want to prepare, after the sale is finalized you will never find another english speaking assistance. And you will need that assistance many many many times.

Woah! I like that...seriously I do! It would be just like Seth to , first even come across a "thing" like that, second to actually get to him...mmmm go for it Blackie, please do.

Oh, btw do you have a picture of Pene in the shape of a she-demon? Would be awesome to see her

One question....what about Lexie?

This thread that someone made for a mod intended for morrowind gives a pretty good rundown of the Daedra Seducer a la Daggerfall and Battlespire. NOT the Mazken from Shivering Isles.



Heres the .gif from Daggerfall.

Nice...ehh no thats not the right word...thrilling maybe. Go for it Blackie, let Seth meet his destiny in the shape of a Seducer....

(Someone could save him though, )

Welcome new member MyCat!!

Well my exams are finally done and I think I only failed one. It's not really a problem, I'm allowed to fail a course and have picked up enough marks already that it won't have any dire consequences, and I think it will manage it's usual 50-60% fail rate... again... Anyway the weather has suddenly turned brilliant so all is well again. It's amazing how much better two days of lying in the sun in the park drinking makes you feel.

I even got out on the bike again today... I'm feeling it now though.

Lying in the sun? Bah! I'm a vampire of the twenty-first century. The only place I'm ever truly at home at is in front of my computer or on my sofa.

AH-HAHAHAHAH!

That was my triumphant laugh of doom as I've moved out from a hellhole into a new place, where its just me and this here cat. Tigger, cuz hes an orange tabby and he loves to jump on my food that I leave out, HEY< THATS MINE!

Anyways. XBox 360 has backwards compatibility for Morrowind now, so Ill have to create a new character to go through Mournhold yet again, especially as I have forgotten most of Clockwork City and I needs the awesum descrip for my two readers that I have left.

So If im not postmachineing it up, that be why.

Otherwise I hope all is well with everyone here!

Ahhh Blackie my dear! I'm so happy for you, it must be just great to live by yourself....and when a cat is around, it means he loves you...or maybe your food! hehe

I fully understand that you can't post-machine all the time....noone can...(I really shouldn't say anything, I haven't updated since....god knows!)


Still....I'm waiting for the next update...when you feel like posting it.

Talking about Cats, my cat is currently in hospital. He has not felt Ok the last couple of days so yesterday we decided to take him to the vet. He has an infection in his body, don't know from where he got it. However now he's a bit better, so I think we'll get him home again on sunday, fit and sound.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat Minque! I hope he gets better. <333
