[QUOTE="Sanglorian, post: 6753328, member: 83822"] [B]Ware Jack O'Lantern, Elf-Child, for He Means to Do You Harm[/B] Elf fathers warn their children in stern voices that they must never, when a-wandering through the Kingswood, follow a light in the middle distance that seems to bob between the trees. For this light is no friendly will-o-wisp to a-guide an elf lad to his mother's side. This is the smoky torch of sullen Jack O'Lantern, or his equally lardy wife Joan the Wad. Humans - could you not tell from their crude, gutteral names - who fear not the Kingswood, Jack and Joan are servants of the Prince of Men. They lead travellers through the Kingswood to beyond its leafy boughs - of course, for a young elf, that is a very dangerous place to be. [B]Hooks[/B] * Servants of the Prince of Man? How have Joan and Jack lived so long? * Do they realise the mischief that they are doing elfchildren? * Why can they pass unharmed? * From where, and to where, do they lead? * Do they talk? [B]Please Sir, May I Have Some More Memories? [/B] Do you remember dancing with the Lady with the firebird mask at the Solstice Ball in Castle Tarengael? That's strange, because you're a dwarven cobbler who's never left the Cross. A child has been roaming the Cross, begging for memories. She never seizes them without permission, but will cajole and threaten and whine to wrangle the permission from someone. Occasionally, the process backfires and she surrenders a memory instead of receiving one. [B]Hooks[/B] * Where did the girl come from? * What happens when she has her fill of memories? * Are the lost memories chosen at random? * Why do people sometimes gain memories instead? [/QUOTE]
