This MUD is just too absorbing that it's difficult for me to tear myself away from my awful MUDclient to writing anything of consequence.

However, I will attempt to keep a log of the kindness of strangers I encounter

• I had been visiting my supposed home town of Tlaxcala when I was wiped out by some Hyperion(I think) guys at the top of the temple. After they kept killing me upon recorporealization, Dyne was nice enough to come and wipe them out in return. After tracking down and returning my preferred weapons (sunfury sai), I developed the fine art of kicking corpses for therapy. Not very effective in the game but very useful for my family life.

• I had taken to hanging around Mycenae and taking on the minotaurs. Very risky, but effective because they just keep coming. This has led to many messy demises but many thanks to Dyne for collecting my remains

• My Drake, Bill, was at death's door recently and Gavadel was kind enough to heal him. I thank him on her behalf (Yup, Bill's a female but I just live for Cognitive Dissonance...)

• • • • • • In case you need to see what I use for a chat window on mushClient...
