Hey, can you remind us what the date is in this story? I assume it's not Third Era.... maybe I'm wrong though.

Ha har I love that. "Hey, it's raining hard outside, let's not waste a good storm!" That sounds like me in a way. And Shirley Manson, as 'Rosa points out. We both are happy when it rains.

Yeah, I'd imagine Jeval wants to sit the storm out! Even the hardiest of adventurer might only want to go out into rain to clean his/her armor off. Not much more. But Jeval prob'ly don't want to get his hair messed up.

"drinking alcohol before dusk is only for losers and nobles!"

Indeed. The background of Vvardenfell does include slavery. Which doesn't get portrayed so well in the base game, but it is something which is certainly there. Interesting how somebody like Jeval could grow up in the province, have friends who are beastfolk, and yet such thoughts are just occurring to the fair-weather chap. These are the sort of thoughts a more aware individual such as Daria has already considered, even if this consideration is not written up in Outlanders.

He still wants Quinn! Or at least, somebody like Quinn!

Whoa, uh oh. A freaking slaver. Holy Crap. What is Jeval supposed to do? DAmn. Didn't see any of this coming. Okay, good job with the tail, lizard. Holy crap. Where is Dimartini when we need him?

Good thing it's still raining. That should wash some of the blood away, I presume. Another thing: he's all covered in mud. Maybe the witness-woman won't recognize him but he has to get OUT of here, NOW!

Hmm. Well just because it's not technically illegal doesn't mean there won't be consequences, or somebody looking for a short wood elf hanging around a female lizard. Plenty of Dunmer in town, but how many Bosmer/Argonian combinations of friends could there be? - But here's something new: for perhaps the only time, Quinn is nearby yet Jeval isn't so obsessed with her presence.

I love the lawyer-speak!

Hmm, another thing. Isn't it technically still legal to capture and own slaves? Or has that Renrija Krin/Haus Dres (spelling, I know) stuff not made a difference yet? ... The Empire is against slavery, but it's still okay here in MW, unless things have changed. Okay, "slavers aren't supposed to operate" anymore, in so many words. Still, I'd be worried.

PHew. Well if I were Jeval, I don't think I'd even try to approach this from a legal standpoint. Maybe he can avoid going to court. Only that one woman saw him, for instance.

Whoa, they shut down the city. Uh oh. Okay, but it's not because of somebody dying in the street. That is good, I'll asssume. Maybe there'll be so much going on with these latest developments that the dead slaver will just get passed over as offcials are too preoccupied with other things.

Ah crap. Young Bosmer, yellow hair, short in stature. Jeval is done. One thing for sure: you're really doing a good job adding that paranoid feeling to the story, Clav.

OFF-topic stuff begins HERE!!

Sure, about bathhouses. There's this image that everyone was stinky (same as how it was once assumed 4,000 years ago everyone was a stoneage ape). But us humans didn't just become smart; more and more often we're learning how ancients had technology, some of which rivaled our own.

Mm hmm, about hygiene. I also remember reading somewhere how perfumes and colognes became much more popular amongst those who could afford such concoctions, during the Renaissance. Yich.

WHOA! Morrowind's name is from some other storyline, except with the change of one letter???!!! -- Now that, I did not know! I wonder if anyone tried to sue Beth because of that!
