un: worm wife / text

( There is absolutely someone out there fucking with Wen Kexing, and so if anyone mentions the state of his new name he's going to commit Attrocities. He's here for a reason ... admittedly a potential wife reason, but still! You mention being a worm one time and fate laughs at you. )

It's come to my attention we're all very demure about our own skill sets. When it comes to trying to work together that reticence might be to our detriment. Especially considering the wealth of people we have here, what if one of us is in need of a carpenter and we don't know where to go? Or a scribe, those might be handy with all the terrible meetings we have to listen to. Or a healer, even.

( A healer especially, but he is the most subtle and anyone implying otherwise needs to be quiet. )

And so, I thought it might be a good idea if we instead shared what we were good at. I can go first.

Cooking.
A pursuer of scholarly endeavours.
Passable martial arts.
Provider of wine.

If anyone needs any poetry or lessons in how not to burn water then I am certainly your man. I know these aren’t exactly the more useful of skills, but there are bound to be more capable people out there. We need to help each other in these trying times, after all.

( We also need to not be lying bastards, but oh well. )

...

There's all sorts of things people tell you not to do outside of wedlock. They mean that.

Where will you go, once it's done?

[bigsmile]

that sounds really strange, is it something from where you're from? how weird it's considered dishonest to not be married.

( Don't mind this guy, he's an idiot. )

i don't know yet, whatever direction calls me. there's no rules.

( It's a little like talking to Chengling, so he's not too bothered. )

I wouldn't worry about it, it's a little joke people make.

But surely you would need to know where to sail? Or is Ephes like your home?

[bigsmile]

back home we have a set course and know where we're going. here we don't know the place, so any direction will be good. can't discover it until we find it!

[wifedup]

You're not interested in returning to your world?

[bigsmile]

course i am, but i gotta find the way out first and that won't happen until we look.

[wifedup]

Mm. Well, then I wish you the best. It's not entirely impossible, people leave all the time. They just never tell the rest of us how.
