My dear boy,

I hope you are well and that you get this soon in your travels. Thank you for the credits you forwarded. They have helped, as Matty is still sick with the Damplung. I made you the enclosed to keep you warm in your travels.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Love,
Your Mother

I've been MUSHing for nearly ten years, and this is the sort of scene you'd happily wait ten years to reach. Roa gave us the most phenomenal NPCs, and we'll be forever in her debt. This one's so big, it gets two quotes at the front ( Read more... )

He also sets a record by raising his voice for the second time in one turn. Sundry matters are discussed ( Read more... )

Ashwin connives to allow Roa a moment of the solitude she's been missing. Roa presents Ashwin with... a gift ( Read more... )

Jensen: "She's not /my/ Smith ( Read more... )

A promise has put Jensen in an interesting situation. And since Ashwin's told Jensen that he's his man, Ashwin's now in an interesting situation too. Jensen lets Ashwin know this, and Ashwin registers his concern, while renewing his pledge of loyalty. Jensen and Ashwin. Love the banter ( Read more... )
