All finished stories are under the "featured writing". The ones that are still incomplete are in the "writing portfolio". Feel free to check them out!
I never really know what to write on these bio/summary sections so I'm going to make it short and sweet.
I'm from England. I'm 20 years old and I'm currently studying Marketing, Advertising and Communications at the University of Gloucestershire. I picked it because it sounds a lot cooler to say than what it actually is. Yeah. I should have probably thought more carefully about that.
My favourite colour is black. Most people say that's not a colour; it's a shade, and they're correct. It is a shade. But so is dark blue. And that's a colour too. So, mainly to save time and avoid arguments, I just say my favourite colour is blood red. And that is also a shade. Haters.
I prefer winter over summer; night over day.
I prefer being too cold than too hot and too busy than too idle.
I have depression and I have hyperactivity.
I have sleeping pills and I have caffeine tablets.
I love writing. I wanted to be a journalist when I was a LOT younger and started writing stories when I was in junior school. I've had two poems published in the "Young Writers" books (I have the books and certificates to prove it). I normally end up proof reading all my friends university coursework and assignments for them. As geeky as it may sound, I love doing it.

This was originally based on a day-dream that I had and thought it would be a fantastic short story. However, once I started writing it down on paper and adding detail, I realised that it would probably be better to write it in chapters. Another heart-warming carefree romance story about a young 23-year old girl called Rosie, an only child who lives with her mother. Pressured by society to find a suitable spouse, she meets the man of her dreams but in a twist of circumstances, they are seperated and Rosie is left wondering whether they will ever be reunited or whether he will remember her.

The father of a 4-year-old boy killed last summer in Reynoldsburg has been charged in his son's
Alfred A. Hill, 26, was indicted yesterday by a Franklin County grand jury on charges of
murder, felonious assault, involuntary manslaughter and two counts of endangering children.
Hill's son, also named Alfred Hill, was found unconscious by paramedics at his paternal aunt's
apartment at 1229 Bay Tree Court at 9:30 a.m. on July 12. He later died at Nationwide Children's
Hospital. The elder Hill also is listed as living at that address.
The coroner ruled the child's death a homicide, saying he died because of blunt impact to his
chest that stopped his heart.
When police responded the morning the child died, Hill fled and later was arrested on charges
of kidnapping, rape, felonious assault and domestic violence. He was later indicted by a grand
jury. That case is still pending.
Police said Hill abducted and raped a woman, first at an abandoned house and then at his
residence, on July 6, 2011. She escaped after being held for 14 hours, police said.

DENVER (AP) — Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. has agreed to give workers for one of its Florida suppliers an extra penny per pound of tomatoes harvested, or a 64 percent increase.
Chipotle spokesman Chris Arnold wouldn't disclose what the agreement will cost the Denver-based restaurant chain per year. He says the agreement represents a relatively small percentage of Chipotle's nationwide tomato purchases.
The deal announced Wednesday is with East Coast Farms. It came after months of discussions with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, which has campaigned for better wages for Florida farm workers.
Chipotle, which also has worked to buy more naturally raised meat and local or organic produce, has some of the highest food costs among its peers.

On May 9, 1925, KPRC-AM began its first day on the air.
If it hadn't been for an untimely 1924 death, it might actually have been on the air more than a year earlier.
According to published accounts, Ross Sterling Jr., son of the largest shareholder of the Houston Post Co., took a 1923 course in broadcasting at the Houston YMCA. Noting his son's interest in radio, Ross Sterling Sr. met with the course instructor, Alfred P. Daniel of Houston station WCAK, to discuss starting a station to be associated with the Post-Dispatch newspaper.
Former Texas governor and president of the Post, William P. Hobby, was also eager for the younger Sterling to launch a station, so a 500-watt transmitter was ordered from the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Co. Before it arrived in Houston, however, Ross Sterling Jr. died, and his grieving father ordered the transmitter put in storage without ever having it uncrated.
More than a year later, Daniel again approached Sterling about proceeding with the original plans. In addition to having announcing and programming skills — and knowing how to build broadcast equipment — Daniel was apparently a pretty good salesman. Sterling agreed and ordered the station set up. A major advertising convention was scheduled to be held in Houston that spring, and U.S. Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover was to be one of the speakers. Just three weeks before the convention — on Sat., May 9, 1925 — KPRC signed on at 8 p.m. with Daniel as its first announcer and program director.
"Hello, folks, everywhere," were the first words spoken, according to the official account. The station had just four employees. The call letters stood for Kotton Port, Rail Center.
Interestingly, although May 9 was the date of the first broadcast, indications are that the federal license to broadcast was not issued until May 13.
The Post-Dispatch ran a front page story about the sign-on, giving the line-up of dignitaries and entertainers that were to be on hand. They included bands from Mexico City and St. Petersburg, Fla. — both in town for the advertising convention — and the Humble Oil and Refining Co. Band from Baytown. A regular nightly feature was to be a talk given by Houston Poet Laureate Judd Mortimer Lewis.
The station's first studios were in the Post-Dispatch building on the southwest corner of Polk and Dowling. The newspaper had just moved into the building in March and, since no plans had been made to house the station, improvised space had to be created. The studios were set up in the fourth floor "morgue" or clippings library, a very cramped space.
In the early years of broadcasting, radio frequencies were described in "meters," which referred to the length of radio waves. Then, the term "kilocycles" became common, abbreviated as "kc" for "kilocycles per second," a measure of the frequency of the signal. The Commerce Department officially adopted the term kilocycles in 1923, but as late as the 1940s radio listings in the Houston papers still included meters for the convenience of Houstonians with older sets. KPRC first operated at 1010 kc (296.9 meters) with 500 watts, and the paper claimed the signal could be heard for 9,000 miles. One mast atop the Post building and another in an adjacent field supported the flattop antenna.
In 1926, the KPRC studios moved to the new 22-story Post-Dispatch "skyscraper" on the southeast corner of Texas at Fannin, for many years the home for Shell Oil Co. before the present One Shell Plaza was built in the 1960s. The Post-Dispatch plant on Polk and Dowling has long since been demolished, but the building on Texas has recently been renovated and opened as the Magnolia Hotel.
By 1929, the KPRC transmitter had been relocated to Sugar Land, and in 1934 the studios moved to the mezzanine of the Lamar Hotel where they stayed until 1953 when they were moved onto Post Oak Road near the present Williams Tower. In the '30s, KPRC and KTRH shared a transmitter plant at Deep Water on the La Porte Highway. In later years, the studios moved to the Southwest Freeway, the Katy Freeway, then to Lovett Boulevard. They are now located in state-of-the-art digital studios on Loop 610 at San Felipe.
If you've ever worked at KPRC, or have a relative who has, let us know. We would like to add your story and photos to our history section.
Coming soon: stories from former talk show hosts and announcers.

MEXICO CITY — A powerful explosion rocked the Mexico City headquarters of state oil giant Pemex yesterday, killing at least 25 people, injuring more than 100 and trapping dozens of others inside
Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong said the blast killed at least 25 people and injured 100. The death toll still could rise, he added.
A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity last night, said preliminary findings suggested the blast was caused by a gas boiler exploding in a Pemex building next to the tower. But the cause was still being investigated, the official added.Earlier media reports said machinery inside the building had apparently exploded. But an ambulance-service official at the scene, who asked not to be named, said it was caused by a gas leak.
Another witness, Cristian Obele, told Mexican television, "The place shook, we lost power and suddenly there was debris everywhere. Colleagues were helping us out of the building."
Pemex said initially its headquarters had been evacuated because of a problem with its electricity supply. It then said there had been an explosion, but did not say what caused it.
Search-and-rescue dogs were sent into the skyscraper, a Mexico City landmark more than 50 floors high and sporting a distinctive "hat" on top.

FLIR thermal imaging cameras confirm effectiveness of regional anesthetics |
For many operations the use of regional anesthetics is preferred to general anesthetics, since it is considered to be safer for the patient. To determine the effectiveness of regional anesthetics the patient is subjected to pinpricks. If the patient indicates a pain sensation then the regional anesthetics is considered to be ineffective. Not only is the pinprick method subjective, it is also useless if the patient is unable to communicate. Furthermore it takes approximately 30 minutes before the pinprick method can be used to reliably determine the success of a local regional block. Researchers at the Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, have found a new and objective tool to determine the effectiveness of the regional anesthetics: FLIR thermal imaging cameras. |
Niehof compared several different methods including FLIR thermal imaging cameras. "Thermal imaging provides immediate feedback. Medical personnel can use a FLIR thermal imaging camera to objectively determine the effectiveness of the regional anesthetics. If the regional block is not effective it will clearly show in the thermal image." FLIR i3 and i5The researchers initially used a FLIR SC2000 Series thermal imaging camera with an uncooled microbolometer detector that produces thermal images with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. Later trials showed that lower-end models such as the FLIR i5 and FLIR i3, that produce thermal images with resolutions of respectively 80 x 80 pixels and 60 x 60 pixels, can also be used for this application. "As a response to the regional anesthetics the blood vessels dilate, a phenomenon called vasodilatation", explains Niehof. "This leads to an increased blood flow and subsequently to an increased skin temperature in the area affected. In our research we found that in case of a successful regional block the skin temperature rises with 4.5 °C in about Finding test subjects was relatively easy, according to Niehof. "We approached patients at the University Medical Center that were to undergo surgery on the hand or forearm and asked them to participate. Thermal imaging is a non invasive method, so it is completely safe and it doesn't cause any inconvenience for the patient, so it was easy to find patients willing to cooperate." This resulted in a test group of 25 patients who were subjected to regional anesthetics (mepivacaine 1.5%). The effectiveness of the anesthetics was determined using three methods: the pinprick test, the cold sensation test or the thermal imaging test. From the moment the anesthetics where administered the effectiveness tests were executed every 5 minutes for a total duration of 30 minutes. The final check was made using a surgical forceps just before surgery. Specificity of 100%In medical diagnostics the terms sensitivity and specificity are used to determine the reliability of a test method. In this case sensitivity indicates the ability of a test method to correctly identify a successful regional block and specificity is the ability of the test to correctly identify a failed block. In other words: sensitivity is the percentage of people that have a successful regional block (as confirmed surgically) which have also been successfully identified as such using the test method, while specificity is the percentage of people that have a surgically confirmed failed block which have been successfully assessed using the test method. The thermal imaging method has the best sensitivity and specificity. It reaches its maximum sensitivity of 95% at 15 minutes and maintains that for a period of 10 minutes, after which it drops to 90%. The pinprick reaches its maximum of 80% during the same time period. The cold sensation method reaches its maximum of 60% five minutes later and maintains it for a shorter duration. The specificity of thermal imaging reaches 100% after ten minutes, maintaining this level until the end of the 30 minutes. Both cold sensation and the pinprick methods reach their maximum much later, when 25 minutes have passed. Their maximum specificity is respectively 95 and 90%. Point and clickFrom these results Niehof concluded that thermal imaging is the best method for regional block assessment. "Thermal imaging reaches higher accuracy values and maintains those high values for a longer period of time. And above all: it is a method that is completely objective, no patient input is required. At the same time it is extremely easy to use. All you need to do is point the FLIR thermal imaging camera and push the right button." Worth the investmentAccording to Niehof local regional blocks should be ssessed by a FLIR thermal imaging camera. "I don't see why not. The price is not a limiting factor anymore. Given the fact that it will help decrease morbidity risk by avoiding unnecessary additional anesthetics I would say that it is definitely worth the investment." "And thermal imaging cameras can be used for more than just this particular application", continues Niehof. "Thermal imaging technology has seen use in the detection of certain, infections, nerve damage, soft tissue injuries, etc. Ongoing research is constantly revealing new and exciting ways to use thermal imaging technology as a medical monitoring and diagnostics tool."

They mentioned having to update software to Rock Band version 2.2, so I would guess that would mean it's an RB 2 only feature, at least to start (and probably to stay since focus will shift forward to RB 3 sometime next year, I'd imagine).
Shocked people still haven't upgraded to rb2. Even if don't like the setlist its a great organizer for dlc

I've had helpful advice on staining to match, but I wonder if there is something to do which would give the finished deck grain an appearance of a better match to the old. Has anyone else had this situation or am I just too picky for a poor guy? Happy New Year everybody- all boat pics are great- when I'm done I'll cobble up a set of mine to send in.

This year at the Miami Beach Convention Center, 2,000 stunning collections showed off their stuff with fringe, color blocking and plenty of retro style. There was also plenty of cut-out one pieces flooding the runway. The show welcomed back designers such as Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs but also gave smaller designers a chance like Norma Kamali and Luxe by Lisa Vogel. Take a look at three of the trends that really caught our eye at the show!
We loved the playful fringe look on the suits this year seen with Beach Bunny swimwear. Beach Bunny swimwear (popular with the celebrities) stayed true to their original sexy and fun look. This cut-out one piece is outrageously wild with the added v-neck fringe.
It's no secret color-blocking has been all over runways lately and starting to make appearances in the bathing suit world as well. We love this cut-out color-blocking bathing suit from Shivan & Nareesh that shows just enough skin.
The sophisticated look was all over the runway. Great for all body types, we're in love with Luxe by Lisa Vogel's retro bikinis and coverups.

Lion's Maw
The young wench in the Maw disappeared into the kitchens again then emerged- and spoke directly to Ansha with a smile.
Cook says he's never met an Elf maiden before and wants to meet you, Miss Ansha. Will you oblige him?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
Qhude and N'bellocq left for their hunt and Tebati found herself in the market, idly wandering and looking at the fruit stalls- and she noted Jakob also perusing the market. She felt a tug at her sleeve as a young human Zenj lad of about ten summers smiled up at her with large, trusting eyes, having just reached her after he navigated the morning crowds.
Excuse me miss, are you one of the group that "defended Jeggare's caravan"? he asked, concentrating as he clearly struggled to recite the words from memory.
In the marketplace
Tebati crouches down on the balls of her feet, laying her arm across her knees, to address the child at his own eye-level. "I traveled here with Jeggare's caravan and fought for my life and my friends' when we were attacked, yes," she smiles at him. "Do you have a message for me?"
At the Maw:
Ansha raises an eyebrow at the waitress, holding the expression as she shifts her gaze to Kieran. Shrugging, she stands from her stool at the bar and assents as she moves to follow the girl. "Alright. Isn't the town wizard an elf? Or is it that he's never met an elf maiden?"
Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 16
In the marketplace-
The child was a little shy but nodded in response to Tebati's question.
Mindra Macini wants to invite you and any of your group to her ranch, for "polite conversation and a pro-po-sit-ion". She's really nice, Sangoma, you should go!
Inside the Maw
Ansha moved into the kitchens with the young girl, leaving Kieran alone at the bar for a few moments.
Is it done? she asked.
The cook was a fat, middle aged Chelish man and he looked up at you with genuine enthusiasm from the eggs and meat he was cooking for you.
Miss Ansha, I presume! he half spoke, half shouted in delight. You are a vision, if I may presume to say so, my lady, a vision! I've not seen one of your kind for so many years and you do my eyes a service! he said enthusiastically as he gestured for you to stand closer and inspect the food he was cooking for you.
On the hunt
Survival -> 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
N'bellocq follows Qhude's lead. More used to hunting animals by sight and sound amongst the trees, he tries to keep his eyes down, and instead focus on tracks in the dust.
Flex Time at the Maw
N'bellocq watches as more food is brought. Not really currently in the mood for a third meal this evening, but also not knowing if it is proper to eat the offered food, especially since he had already had so much and these men might truly b hungry. N'bellocq watches Jacob for a sign to follow, as these men seem to be from his country, and he would know the proper custom.
Outside of Freehold-
After a furious jog east, Freehold was now becoming more and more distant for Qhude and N'bellocq. A couple of hours have passed and the blistering morning sun has mercilessly sapped the hunters stamina and thus the pace has slowed somewhat. The two hunters paused as they came across some tracks- a small herd of what they identify as antelope recently passed through and they can easily tell they were headed south.
Blushing at the compliment, Ansha smiles and replies, in a tone quite soft compared to his own bombastic voice, "You have me at a disadvantage, sir...?" Clearly, she is looking for his name. She obligingly moves closer to the food, leaning over slightly to smell it. "It smells wonderful," she says, looking back up at the cook, "You've met other elves beside Zesaste?"
Slight update to her spells prepared for the day, while I'm thinking of it.
Outside of Freehold:
Qhude felt an easy peace in his heart. He did not smile or speak with N'bellocq beyond what was needed... but he was calm. The need to keep eyes on earth and measure his breath took his attention and allowed his mind to empty of all but the hunt. Sweat coated his flesh like a second skin as he took a knee to trace the tracks with his left hand. Turning to N'bellocq he grinned "Impala brother." before rising and turning South, awaiting his hunt partners sign to continue.
Another Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 - let me know if anything more is required. Which direction is the wind (if any) coming from?
The cook grinned in pride at Ansha's words. The food did in fact smell very good, perhaps to the Elf's surprise.
The name's Andur he responded to the implied opportunity to introduce himself. Not since I was a boy, Ansha! I was raised in north-east Druma which, as i'm sure you know, borders with Kyonin. I never really enjoyed the Kalistocracy but i'll never forget when an ambassador from Kyonin with all her maidens passed through the village...
No other checks required yet, just adding some description to your previous rolls for the day. The wind is very gentle, blowing east.
Ansha murmurs a "Pleasure to meet you, Andur." She gives the man a curious look, the beginnings of a conflicted half-frown, half-smile forming on her face. "Do go on," she urges.
The child was a little shy but nodded in response to Tebati's question. Mindra Macini wants to invite you and any of your group to her ranch, for "polite conversation and a pro-po-sit-ion". She's really nice, Sangoma, you should go!
"The invitation is not for myself alone," she reminds the boy, "and our group has already separated for the day. When are we requested? I can carry the message to my friends, but some of them I do not expect to see before dark."
"Funny thing about lost or misplaced items," he adds with a wink. "They always seem to be at the last place one looks."
Outside Freehold
N'bellocq nods his understanding. "Impala. Fast, but not faster than my bow."
Continued Survival -> 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Inside the Maw-
Bellis nodded sagely.
We'll not speak of this again she said, as a statement rather than a question. I might have more work for you. I'll let you know, Kieran she said quietly, then handed you a pouch of coins and moved away to continue her inventory.
Well, they were certainly a sight, Miss Ansha! Ageless faces, beautiful gowns... even their travelling clothes seemed vibrant and wonderful! None of them could hold a candle to you though, pretty maiden. Someone ought to buy you a a gown like that eh? he said with a wink.
Mindra said she doesn't mind if she only speaks to one or two of you and you can speak to your fellows for her. She said you are welcome to join her for dinner, Sangoma the boy replied.
Ansha smiles in return. "You flatter me, dear Andur. But who is to say that I do not already have such a gown?" She winks, then continues, "Do you recall the ambassador's name? I might have met them once or twice."
Flexing with the men in the Maw. Stranger said: "Yeah, it can get pretty heavy in here when a large caravan passes through. Pleased to meet you both, Jakob and N'bellocq! My name's Salgarth Macini and this is Rutilus Wintrish. We're both involved in the ranch business. What brings you to our fair town? Are you from Eleder? How does she fare?"
"Much as always. The government is hedged between the Noble families and the Pirates. The colonials are squeezing the Natives who occasionally decide not to be gripped while the Devil-king in Cheliax and the Demon-king in the jungle wonder if Sargrava is worth the indegestion it would cause to eat. Same old Elander same old Sargava. Much more interested in what is happening here. If what I was told is correct then Freehold might be the key to a future free from demon, devil, and pirate. Might even save the families but I'm not so sure."
Jakob takes a drink
"One ranch can only do so much." "So you are a rancher?"
"And what time is dinner?" Tebati asks the boy with a smile. "Where is the sun in the sky when your Mindra dines?" Once she has a general idea of when they may be expected, she straightens her knees to return to her natural height. "I will find those of my companions I can and deliver the message. You may report back that your invitation has been accepted."
She looks around the marketplace to see if she can catch another glimpse of Jakob somewhere in the crowd. Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 If she doesn't see him, she doesn't exercise herself to conduct a more thorough search, instead purchasing a piece of fresh fruit to eat before heading back to the Lion's Maw to see if Ansha or Kieran might still be there.
Outside Freehold:
"They run South, though the wind is crosswise so we should draw near before they notice. Come" putting legs back to use by running after the tracks... there was time for rest after the hunt had met success.
Tebati spied Jakob browsing over a selection of clothing, a few sections away
Outside Freehold-
Qhude and N'bellocq continued on for a couple more hours before they eventually came across the small antelope herd. They stalked as close as they dared to without the chance to spook them- and unleashed a swift volley of javelins and arrows. Between the two hunters, they had brought down an antelope large enough to feed five men for a day while the rest of the herd made its escape.
Mark off a couple of arrows N'bellocq.
In the Lion's Maw, Present-
I'm afraid I was just a lad, Ansha, and I wasn't important-like. It was something pretty but I can't remember. Sorry dear. Give me a few minutes and i'll bring your food out to you Andurs replied.
In the Lion's Maw, Flextime-
Salgarth and his man Rutilus chuckled in their hunched positions at the table with genuine mirth at Jakob's comments.
Very appropriate metaphors. Freehold, saving Sargava? First i've heard of it. Tis certainly a strange place, compared to the turmoil of most settlements. I wouldn't say its without its own share of problems though Salgarth said with a wry smile.
Well, I suppose I may have been over-simplifying, calling myself a rancher. I own a large share of the ranch and help to manage it, broker deals in Eleder, that sort of thing. Mindra is fond of trying to put natives in an ambassadorial role, but particularly in Eleder, that never worked out. Oh they tried, Erastil bless their stubborn hearts, they try so hard- but too much industry, especially in Eleder, is owned by colonials who won't take a Mwangi man seriously in matters of business. The ranch lost too much money and opportunities, so I stepped in.
Thrill of the chase ascendant in his blood, Qhude's breath was heavy and hot as he looked down at their prey. Seeing that the antelope suffered still, he took a knee beside the beast and mercifully snapped it's neck. Stroking the beast's pelt with one hand he closed the antelope's eyes with the other before reaching for his dagger. "Best we gut it here brother, it will make the carcass lighter for our journey back."
Is it too presumptuous to beg that we bring down a buck? - one of Qhude's secondary goals of the hunt was to get a antelope skull c/w horns that he could use as barter fodder with Cruthoniax.
You landed other hits, its possible following a blood trail could lead you to one of the bucks you hit...
Slight Retcon:
After snapping the doe's neck and retrieving his javelins, Qhude tried to follow the blood trail of one of the bucks... Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Edit: As in tried to remember which way one of the bucks ran and followed a blood trail that went in that direction.
Ansha nods and turns to return to the bar. "Thank you."
After she arrives at her seat, she shakes her head and glances at Kieran. "So, you were saying something about window-shopping?"
Tebati spied Jakob browsing over a selection of clothing, a few sections away.
She moves through the shoppers in his direction. "Jakob," she calls out quietly when she is a few steps away. When he has turned and seen her, she closes the distance between them. "We have been extended an invitation to dinner by Mindra Macini."
How much is there, if I may ask?
"Yes, I was actually," the half-elf nods in affirmation. "Would you care to join me or do you have other plans? Who knows, perhaps we will find something of interest to do while we walk around town."
""No, no other plans, really. I may stop by the resident wizard's house, but other than that--and breakfast, of course--I've not thought about it." A wry smile crosses her lips as she adds, "Though I am curious just what kinds of perfume they sell around here." And what that drunkard from last night is planning on buying me....
N'bellocq assisting with the gutting. Shouldering his bow, he will take on the carcass, allowing Qhude to continue his pursuit unheeded.
Following the Blood Trail - Survival -> 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
"Brother, it limps...this way. It will fall back. If you seek a struggle in the kill, you best hurry, lest it bleed out."
In the Lion's Maw, Flextime
"It must have been hard for those before you to conduct business in Eleder, when so many look upon us as business. N'bellocq continues to neither eat nor drink, and no longer glances to Jacob. He sits passively to hear what this is all about.

Salgarth looked a little taken aback and calmly asked-
Surely you do not begrudge me for the truth, my good man? I have never claimed to treat a Mwangi man as a lesser to a colonial, but if I do say so myself, that attitude is not uncommon in Eleder. I did not mean to offend.
The table was momentarily dead silent in the loud and rowdy common room as the two men looked uncomfortably at N'bellocq for his answer.
On the hunt-
It did not take long for Qhude and N'bellocq to come across a buck- it had bled out from the arrow embedded in its neck. By this time, N'bellocq and Qhude were aware their hunting day was almost done.
In the Maw - Flex
N'bellocq nods his head slightly, "Sorry, the offence may be mine. That was not directed at you, if you are men of high standards. But as you say, not all in Eleder share your standards, nor I may add, do all Mwangi. So please, continue to tell us of this ranch." N'bellocq takes a small piece of fruit from the plate and smiles in appreciation at its sweetness.
"It is good that we followed this one. Its sacrifice should not have been wasted on scavengers."
On the hunt:
Qhude kneels beside the buck that bled out and puts a hand to its flank. "Aye brother, and the honor of this kill is yours" pulling the arrow from it's neck carefully. "We should work quickly as the day grows long... would you let me claim this one's skull as trophy?"
The buck is dragged back to where the doe fell by it's horns and both antelope are field dressed and gutted... Take 10 on Survival for 16 ... before being prepped for the long run back to Freehold.
"The skull is yours if you wish. Should we take these to the caravan? I can only imagine the response you might get today carrying these into the tavern."
Qhude chuckles in response "Heh, indeed brother, and I thank you for the trophy... hopefully it will serve it's use. I will take my kill to the wagons... the meat of the other is yours N'bellocq, and you can do with it as you will."
"I will join you. A hard earned meal will sit better then the piles of food one can receive with little effort in the town."
Qhude nods a stoic acceptance before setting his mind to the grim task of gutting the doe. His hand is firm and unflinching, though there is a touch of almost gentleness to his movements. The innards of the animal are set aside before he hefts the body across his shoulders gripping it by the legs and unmindful of the gore that slowly oozes out of the cavity to stain his back.
Ansha awaits her breakfast, chatting quietly with Kieran and the girl at the bar. After breakfast (taken with a snifter of brandy, of course), she excuses herself and returns to her room. A considerable tmie later, only after she has made herself presentable--freshly bathed and hair brushed meticulously, in magically-cleaned clothing--does she return, passing out the front door of the Maw with the map to Zesaste's house in hand. Instead of heading straight for the other elf's house, though, she first heads for the marketplace, keeping an eye out for her 'admirer' while she browses the various non-foodstuff stalls there. Looking for nothing in particular, she offers a ready smile to everyone she passes by, her emerald eyes wandering the people as much as the merchandise.
Also, Qhude--ewwwww.
In the marketplace- DM Alexander Kilcoyne wrote: Tebati spied Jakob browsing over a selection of clothing, a few sections away.She moves through the shoppers in his direction. "Jakob," she calls out quietly when she is a few steps away. When he has turned and seen her, she closes the distance between them. "We have been extended an invitation to dinner by Mindra Macini."
Jakob seems suprised. "That was quick. I expected at least another day or two before being asked to present ourselves. How did they contact you? It might tell us something about the meeting."
Flexing in the May "This is a strange place to one used to Elander and it had quite the reputation. Do you find the politics surrounding this place make buniness easier or more difficult?"
Just small talk and fishing for something unusual at this point. Ready to de-flex.
With Jakob, in the marketplace
She shrugs. "They sent a boy to the market just now, looking for one that traveled with Jeggare." She turns and looks, but the boy is long since lost from sight in the crowd. "It is not mere hospitality; his message mentioned some sort of proposition."
With Jakob, in the marketplace She shrugs. "They sent a boy to the market just now, looking for one that traveled with Jeggare." She turns and looks, but the boy is long since lost from sight in the crowd. "It is not mere hospitality; his message mentioned some sort of proposition."
Jakobs voice sours. "Ah.. the servants entrance then." "Still," he says brightening "Ansha should enjoy herself. She will cut quite the figure here," Jakob glances at Tebati "..as will you I think."
Jakob clears his throat. "Oh well, enough time to ponder politics once we are at the table."
Buying a new travellers outfit.
"Did you not bring your trinket from the Custodian with which to pull rank?" she inquires dryly. "Undoubtedly your social standing is high enough to command respect, were you to insist on it. And if you can arrange to enter with Ansha on your arm...." She trails off with a smile, implying that the possibilities in such a case are limitless. She looks over the clothing stall Jakob is perusing. "After the 'welcome' Qhude received, perhaps less travel-worn clothes would be wise," she frowns, "but I have no intention of dressing like a colonial ... or a Zenj. Where are you headed from here? Back to the inn, or have you business elsewhere? I'm sure Ansha would appreciate as much advance notice as possible that she will be dining with the most important personage in town."
A few minutes after Ansha leaves, Kieran does the same. Unlike the elf, however, he has no particular destination in mind, instead seeking to simply get to know the city a little better, its businesses and places of interest, as well as its streets and back alleys. 'One never knows when one might need to get quickly and quietly from one place to another,' he ponders as he walks, 'or make a quick getaway for that matter.'
"So, no... criminals of note here," he mutters to himself, softly echoing Bellis' words from earlier, all the while looking for evidence or even hint to the contrary as he makes his way through the city.
With Jakob, in the marketplace "Did you not bring your trinket from the Custodian with which to pull rank?" she inquires dryly.
"Did you not bring your trinket from the Custodian with which to pull rank?" she inquires dryly.
"That trinket is more trouble than it is worth. Besides one medal would mean little without the cash and power to back it, and even if I could afford the tarriff that is not a road I want to go down. Jakob the noble is a name written on a bit of dead sheep, Jakob the hero is a lie our leader finds convienent. Jakob the traveller is real. That is who will be at dinner. Yes Ansha will be pleased at this chance to make new friends."
"I don't know where the others are," she says, "but I will go back to the inn shortly and try to deliver the invitation. If you see either of them around town, tell them about our appointment?" Tebati will look around for clothing in the Bonuwat style for a while; if she can find nothing she cares for, she will make do with mending on her own road-worn clothes and ask Ansha for a prestidigitation. If she doesn't run across Ansha in the market before she's done, she'll head back to the Lion's Maw to look for her and/or Kieran.

"I will head to Jeggare's camp. Qhude and your cousin were hunting today they will likely fetch up there. Besides Jeggare may now something about our host." "That reminds me. Who exactly wa this invitation for? Are Jeggare and the others joining us?"
Tebati shakes her head. "I do not believe so. The boy said he was looking for those who 'defended Jeggare's caravan,' not Jeggare and his people themselves. I do not know if Qhude and N'bellocq will be back from the hunt by the time this Mindra Macini expects us at table -- or if they would be welcome, if they were. If Qhude is not couth enough for the proprietress of the Lion's Maw, how much more unfit will he be for dinner with the owner of the ranch herself?" she asks a bit sourly.
Plus, y'know, with the whole "impala juice dripping down his back" thing. :P
Inside/Near the Lion's Maw-
Salgarth shrugged non-committally to answer both avenues of inquiry.
Not much more to tell really. We're the biggest cattle ranch in Sargava. As for politics, the council members are all directly tied to the ranch itself, not much else happens; and as we all have shares in the ranch, there is little difficulty with politics interfering with business. We don't interfere with religion and we make decisions by majority voting. We have a lot of meetings and make a lot of decisions, but there isn't much else to tell. Zesaste, the town wizard and I want to make the ranch more profitable but some disagreements have stalled the process.
The pair stayed for another hour or so, making small talk and generally being very friendly. Jakob continued to get the impression that Salgarth wanted to make a good impression on him in particular, and N'bellocq to a lesser degree.
As Kieran exited the inn, he bumped into Tebati who was just about to enter it. Ansha had not yet got herself ready for the day ahead and was in her room- a fact the attentive wenches in the Maw would share if asked.
Jeggare's Caravan Camp-
Most of Jeggare's crew were enjoying a day off in the town, with a skeleton crew that remained only to keep an eye on things. The half-elf himself was just about to visit the market himself and Jakob found him walking into the town just as he reached the outskirts himself.
Outside the Lion's Maw
Tebati is startled, but pleasantly so, to run into Kieran at the inn door. "I was coming back to look for you, and Ansha. A boy found me in the market with an invitation for our group to dine with Mindra Macini today. I have accepted for myself, and Jakob intends to go as well. Will you join us?"
After speaking with Kieran, Tebati will wait to deliver the message to Ansha as well, if she takes too long, going up to her room and knocking to talk while she's getting ready.
Meanwhile, Ansha continues--at this point--her bath.
"You just caught me on my way to town, but it is not like I had any particular destination in mind," Kieran replies with a shrug. "It would therefore be my distinct pleasure to accompany you to this dinner, my dear and beautiful Lady," the half-elf continues with a smile, equal parts mischief and affection, and a somewhat exaggerated bow.
